Initial experiments were carried out

Gun control campaigners such as Bratton display a mentality that is unbelievably unfathomable. Actual recorded statistics as well as true historic references and their analysis consistently show an armed populace as a serious retardant to criminal activity, which in turn promotes a sharp decline in crime and the resultant reduction in murders committed against police

A Delaware brewer with a penchant for exotic drinks recently concocted a beer similar to one brewed in China some 9,000 years ago.

Sam Calagione of the Dogfish Head brewery in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, used a recipe that included rice, honey, and grape and hawthorn fruits. He got the formula from archaeologists who derived it from the residues of pottery jars found in the late Stone Age village of Jiahu in northern China

They won't be leaping tall buildings in a single bound, but Japan's growing number of elderly may someday have a new lease of life that allows them to care for themselves -- and maybe even pump a little iron.

As the country's population ages rapidly and its workforce shrinks, care workers may be hard to come by, so researchers are trying to develop the ultimate personal care givers: robots.

"Unlike the United States or Europe, Japan is reluctant to allow in cheap foreign labourers," said Takashi Gomi, president of Canada-based Applied AI Systems, whose company has developed a prototype of an "intelligent" wheelchair that can move around on its own and sense obstacles to avoid them.

"I don't think this will change easily in the next 20 to 30 years, so robots are about the only solution," said Gomi, a Canadian researcher born in Japan

On one of the Earth's most remote islands, mice have learned, and are apparently teaching each other, how to attack and kill bird chicks that are 200 times their size.

US chemicals giant DuPont is facing a lawsuit accusing the company of failing to warn consumers about the health hazards of Teflon non-stick coatings.

One of the suspected "masterminds" behind the attacks, Egyptian Magdy el Nashar, challenged officials to find any credible evidence to implicate him. It seems they have failed as he has been cleared of involvement by Egyptian authorities.

Simple chemical tests would narrrow the options still further. And mass spectrographic analysis could not only identify the explosive, but can even potentially tell how it was manufactured -by identifying contaminants in the explosives.
 
It is hard to imagine how it would take more than 24hrs. to be pretty certain, maybe 48hrs. to be definitive.
 
It's been just two weeks

"It is a shame that a recent official letter of condolence over the bombings from the Iranian embassy in London and condemnations by Iranian government spokesmen in Tehran have been followed by such irresponsible statements," the spokesman said.

What we are witnessing is an insurgency arising to take back Washington from the occupiers. It is a two-pronged legal assault, launched from within the FBI and the Department of Justice by patriotic Americans who mean to take back their country from the invader. That is the meaning of the Plame investigation and the AIPAC-Larry Franklin spy case. The battlefield is not Baghdad, it's an American courtroom: the weapon of choice is not the RPG but the subpoena. As the prosecutor-insurgents inch slowly toward the White House, occasionally scoring direct hits inside the Green Zone, the panic begins to spread: talk of "staying the course" is tempered by hints of negotiations and rumors of withdrawal. Donald Rumsfeld tells us that the Iraqi insurgency could last a decade or more, but the Washington version is likely to end much sooner – in a clear victory for the insurgents

Chinese and Indian investments in countries and regions of US concern include India's multi billion dollar project to pipe in Iranian gas via Pakistan - a plan criticised this month by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; billion-dollar investments by India's main oil and gas enterprise in far-flung projects that include Syria - accused by Washington of failing to prevent insurgents from crossing its border into Iraq and of suppressing democracy in Lebanon. India has also signed a pipeline deal with gas-rich Myanmar's hard-line military junta.

Tomorrow, Thursday, July 21, 2005, Senator Bruce Tarr is holding a news conference in front of the State House at 11:30 AM to introduce to the media a significant alternative fuels bill for the Commonwealth. The bill will apparently be filed on Friday.

Of particular note, this bill was developed in close consultation with the Senate President, Robert E. Travaglini, who is also apparently co-sponsoring the legislation. This will facilitate its timely introduction to the floor of the Senate and ultimately its passage.

The purpose of this quick note is to provide a heads up on the news conference and the legislation, both of which were firmed up only this afternoon. Note that Hydrogen is specifically mentioned as one of the alternative fuels covered by the bill. Also note that the Mass Maritime is receiving some project monies to support the powering of a fuel cell tug boat and a land-based hydrogen energy storage syst6em.

Provided below is a summary of the major points of the bill. For more information, and to receive an electronic copy of the legislation as it currently stands, please contact Brad Bradshaw (978) 232- 0080 - brad@velerity.com

Please let the Hydrogen Coalition know of specific recommendatinos that you might have with respect to strengthening the hydrogen and fuel cell industry in Massachusetts with respect to this bill. I was told by Senator Tarrs' office that opportunities remain for making suggested adjustments to this legislation.


Fonda didn't have a clue. Ho Chi Minh's ideological warriors were staging Miller's drama because they saw it as "agitprop" against America. The protagonist is a corrupt American manufacturer who causes American pilots to die when he deliberately sells faulty equipment to the U.S. Armed Forces. First produced in 1947, it was given a vigorous thumbs-up by the Communist Daily Worker, which hailed Miller as a "leading figure" in a new generation of playwrights. It has been much admired in Red circles ever since. Death of A Salesman, another terrific punch tossed at the American way of life, became a favorite of the left as well.

Here is the translation of the email messages:
 
"Hey, are we going to war? Something's not right. I can see many armoured vehicles and soldiers with guns on the road. I can ever hear planes in the air. Rumor has it that they're from Yushu (i believe that this's a location, but i'm not sure which) Can someone please clarify what's happening?"

Initial experiments were carried out on a small piece of human fingernail measuring 2 x 2 x 0.4 mm3. The writing system comprises a Ti:Sapphire oscillator and Ti:Sapphire amplifier. Pulses of less than 100 fs at 800 nm are then passed through a microscope and focused to three set depths (40, 60 and 80 microns) using an objective lens.
