# NYSE boss, Colombia rebel boss meet. BOGOTA (AP) It was an unusual pitch
by the head of the New York Stock Exchange, delivered in Colombia's steamy
southern savannah to a senior commander of the hemisphere's oldest/largest
leftist insurgency: Make peace and get great economic benefits from global
investors. "We are very aggressive in trying to pursue international mark-
ets and opportunities." The promise of capitalism for Marxist FARC terror-
ists: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560092355-1b8
: Which terrorist insurgents would you like to invest in? Would you like to
own a piece of the emerging FARC state? Would cocaine profits be adequate?

# 'Flying saucer' grounded. (BBC) A Russian aviation project which tried to
turn science fiction into science fact has been thwarted by lack of funds.

type craft 2 years ago. But the project is now broke and has been shelved.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_379000/379221.stm

# Los Alamos postpones biowarfare test. (AP) Scientists have postponed ind-
efinitely a planned Monday open-air release of bacteria that would have
been used to test biowarfare detectors intended for battlefield use. The
planned tests at Los Alamos Nat'l Laboratory have raised questions about
the lab's openness with the public as scientists expand their research
into identifying and defending against biowarfare agents. Accidents?
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560083536-964
: What types of biowar tests would you like in your neighborhood? Would you
prefer local biowar test be run by gov't, business, terrorists, aliens? Why?

daily horoscope! http://rodsuskin.iafrica.com/?src_id=tmp0326

# 'Scream' evidence barred from trial. (AP) The boys were obsessed with the
horror movie "Scream." They talked about it many times to each other and
with friends. Then they moved to replicate those in the 1996 Wes Craven
film. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560091104-244
: Do violent media presentations make you want to kill? Do war movies incite
wars? Is your mind-control program working successfully? Is the judge trying
to suppress disclosures of media mind-control programs? What's his payoff??

@ How High Is High? Venetian women of the 15th Century wore platform shoes
as a status symbol - and some shoes were almost a meter high! Pictorial
history of a staggering trend: http://fashion.iafrica.com?src_id=tmp0326
: Are disabling fashions forms of social control? Are aliens behind platform
shoes, foot-binding, wasp-waisted corsets, body piercings, sheathe dresses?
