# Darwin gets a makeover. (BBC) Professor Steve Jones has rewritten Darwin's
Origin of Species, a book that contains ideas which are just as contro-
versial today as they were 140 years ago. Fortunately, they're testable.

# U.S. Scientists Spot 'Dust Devils' On Mars. WASHINGTON (Reuters) Miniature
dust storms could be responsible for spreading the red dust that covers
much of the Martian surface. Scientists have long suspected that so-called
"dust devils" - which kick up in fields and on dirt roads on a sunny day -
churn across Mars. But until now, none had ever been seen. Now we have
pictures: http://news.excite.com/news/r/990909/02/science-space-mars
: Do you prefer planets that are wet, dry, in-between? Should we build big
pumps to bring water out of Earth's interior? Should we all leave before
Earth gets as dry & dusty as Mars? Where d'ya wanna go? Will you take a hat?

# Study links star blast, black hole. (AP) Scientists have found some of the
best evidence yet to support the theory that the cataclysmic explosions of
giant stars can lead to black holes, some of the strangest & least under-
stood objects in the universe. Researchers analyzed the gases near a star
that wobbles around a suspected black hole, and deduced that the chemicals
could have originated only in the blast of a neighboring supernova. See

# Gamma-ray burst may have seeded solar system. The formation of the Solar
System was hurried along by a nearby gamma-ray burst. Rather than aborting
the birth of planets, the flood of energy may have melted primordial dust
grains, seeded the formation of meteorites and helped form the rocky
planets, including Earth. We are stardust, we are golden...

# The Aegean: The seismic sea. (BBC) The earthquake which shook Athens came
"out of the blue", say seismologists, as no known fault existed there.

# Greece & Turkey On Seismic Pane Of Glass. LONDON (Reuters) The earth deep

"We have to keep an eye on the Orbs, as I suspect they steal Orgone from
Ashley Rye's tent. Friendly they may appear, but they is up to bad
tricks with going into Ashley's tent like that and taking all that fresh
Orgone. Poor Ash has got to start all over again." --Paul Whitehead
