@ A Brief History of JANET Facility, also known as Area 51. Known today as
Johnson Airbase Nevada Experimental Test (JANET) Facility, A.K.A. "Area 51",
this is simply the USAF's most supersecret War Craft development Test Flight
Lab. The term "Johnson" commemorates the base's founder, which was formerly
called "GLANET" (Groom Lake Airbase Nevada Experimental Test Facility).

# NEW YORK CITY'S ANTI-TERRORISM EFFORTS GO HIGH-TECH. The only U.S. city to
be targeted in recent years by international terrorists has set up what it
calls the nation's leading anti-terrorist response center. New York opened a
$13 million Emergency Operations Center; the 50,000-square-foot facility is
in lower Manhattan, in a building right across the street from the World
Trade Center, which Islamic militants bombed in February 1993. Round the
clock staffing: http://cnn.com/US/9906/07/terrorism.response/index.html
: Will the EOC be a prime target for terrorists? Is it basically bait? Why?

Relations next month as a diplomat in residence. Butler said he will write
a book. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559839845-df5

@ CASSINI. The danger of the Earth flyby is that Cassini will be traveling
at about 43,000 miles per hour. A slight malfunction, miscalculation, or a
random collision with any of billions of pieces of space debris could result
in the probe, and its deadly plutonium, reentering earth's atmosphere and
thereby incinerating its deadly cargo. NASA claims the chance of such an
accident resulting in a plutonium release is one in one million. Many do not
agree with that assessment. NASA in particular is ignoring the fact that ANY
accident will leave the probe in an orbit around the solar system that might
later intersect ours -- even after the flyby, we might still be "attacked"
by this probe! http://www.animatedsoftware.com/cassini/index.htm

# Stem cells may restore neurons. WASHINGTON (AP) - Injections of neural
stem cells, a so-called master cell that can mature into any type of brain
tissue, may be able to restore neurons killed by Alzheimer's and other
diseases that affect the whole brain, laboratory studies with mice suggest.

# Archaeologists fight developers. VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) With a real estate
development in the works, archaeologists are fighting for a chance to study
a site they say could provide clues to the fate of a famed ancient culture
along the Gulf of Mexico. Now just a cluster of dirt-covered mounds called
El Dorado: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559842623-dae

much money would you require to demolish pyramids, raze the Great Wall, etc?

# Two New Superheavy Elements Discovered. BERKELEY, CA. Discovery of two new
"superheavy" elements has been announced by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley
Nat'l Lab. Element 118 and its immediate decay product, element 116, were
discovered at Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron. Although both new elements
almost instantly decay into other elements, the sequence of decay events is
consistent with theories that have long predicted an "island of stability"
for superheavy nuclei. "We jumped over a sea of instability onto an island
of stability that theories have been predicting since the 1970s." Unexpected
success: http://byamerican.com/cgi-bin/ast/config.cgi?read=15221
: Are superheavy elements useful for antigravity, time travel, cold fusion?

"Although Bunny Muffet knew her life was bound to change after her private
parts were declared public recreation areas by the Glendale Chamber of
Commerce, she was unprepared for the 101 red-faced, pot-bellied tourists
who arrived in chartered busses the following morning, eager to negotiate
the ample curves and explore the lush regions of Glendale's best-loved
natural resource." --Lynn Chiodini
