GADHAFI BARED BY THE UN

The United Nations Security Council voted 15-0 Saturday night to bar travel and freeze the foreign assets of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi and four other officials in an effort to halt his regime’s attacks on protesters.

The resolution, which also imposes an arms embargo on Libya, calls for an immediate end to violence that it says “may amount to crimes against humanity.” The text, while referring the allegations to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, cites as authorization for all the sanctions a provision of the UN Charter that precludes military intervention.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
