Round up
A few things that have caught my eye.
The BBC are reporting that real progress is being made in the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station. This is very good news. The old power station is possibly the most striking building in London and certainly one of the most recognisable thanks to its bold design and its appearance on the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals. It always saddens me when I travel to London on the train that the building is still just a shell as has been for far too long. I really hope this development takes off. Battersea deserves it. The BBC have taken some great pictures of the place as it is and made a splendid panorama offering 360 deg views.
The latest story feeding my obsession with bollocks science comes from The Duke University Medical Center (via the BBC). Duke have discovered that praying for patients undergoing heart operations does not improve their outcome. There's a surprise.
Duke University leads me nicely into the return of Olsen Watch. I have been visited by Duke and many other seats of higher education. The tag-team-twins are enormously popular amongst the student fraternity. The last week or so has seen Googlers arrive at The Phylotopian in search of Olsen pictures from;
Duke University, North Carolina
Villanova University, Philadelphia, (repressed Catholics)
Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire
Shell Canada Ltd
British Broadcasting Corporation, London
Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School, Melbourne, Australia
Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York
P&O Cold Logistics, California
Dewar Realty Inc, Valdosta, Georgia, United States
Resort Funding LLC
Softbank Corp, Tokyo, Japan (about 7 times)
Angus College, Scotland (der der der der der der da ANGUS)
California State University
Office National Des Postes Et Telecommunications, Morocco
Price Waterhouse, New York
Park Nicollet Health Services, Minneapolis, United States
Michigan State University
The Library Network, Michigan
Eastern Michigan University (what is it with you Michigan folks? Is there nothing better to do in Michigan? Read a book.)
and last but by no means least
Department of Defense, Network Information Center, Virginia, USA (ce.qatar.army.mil)
U.S. Department Of State, Washington DC
Both of these two must have better things to do than search for pictures of the Olsen twins?
You are all most welcome. Please wipe your feet on leaving.

Can a few of you do me a favour please.
Google "Department of Defense, Network Information Center" and click on the top link which should be www.nic.mil/
I have done this using Opera, Firefox and IE. Each time the browser has crashed. I copied and pasted www.nic.mil/ into the address bar and again the browser crashed. Is this because my IP is outside the USA or does it happen to any of you inside the USA?
Okay so I did it...so funny but the page opens addressing the user with your own personal whereabouts. It say somehting like hello user....from phila...ip address... creepy. I use Safari (I am an apple girl because of the editing work I do.) So, are you speculating that it cannot be accessed outside the country?
Yeah - i'm not putting forward any great conspiracy theory - i was just curious. It's not the first time i've been unable to access US based sites. I heard of a good music dowloand site on the grapevine a while ago but I just got a 404 as i'm in Europe. The second link google returned and the link I used in the main post worked fine.
