Now, I ;m going on the assumption that the vortex had some kind of sucking power associated with it to achieve this, but if it didn ;t 8230; FlowerGirlPhysicist 1  Not a whole lot.

 In botella stanley  federal courts and on Capitol Hill, challenges are brewing to a key legal strategy President George W. Bush is using to protect a secret surveillance program that monitors phone calls and e-mails inside the United States.Under grilling from lawmakers and attack by lawsuits alleging Mr. Bush authorized the illegal wiretapping of Ameri stanley quencher cans, the White House has invoked a legal defense known as the  state secrets  doctrine - a claim that the president has inherent and unchecked power to shield national security information from disclosure, either to plaintiffs in court or to congressional overseers.The principle was established a half-century ago when, ruling in a wrongful-death case brought by the widows of civilians killed in a military plane crash, the Supreme Court upheld the Air Force s refusal to provide an accident report to the plaintiffs. The government contended releasing the document would compromise information about a secret mission and intelligence equipment.Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, believes the White House has gone too far in invoking state secret stanley quencher s to halt civil lawsuits. We have the authority to define the state secrets doctrine,  Specter says.  I don t think that the simple assertion of state secrets ought to be the end of the matter.         Specter, Sen. Edward Kennedy, a Democrat, and others are working on legislation that would direct federal judges to review the president s state secrets claims  Epkt Girl swimming in a lake full of millions of golden jelly fish

At a bunker somewhere in the United States, a pilot squadron lost contact with the armed drones they were flying over the Middle East. The failure of secure satellite communications systems left soldiers, ships and aircraft cut off from their commanders and vulnerable to attack. Without satellites, world leaders struggled to talk to each other to diffuse mounting global tensions. What   more, our society is highly dependent on GPS signals to accurately tell time, and as our ability to tell time declines, so does our entire world: When the GPS signals stopp
