BANGKOK, Thailand � A large earthquake struck off Indonesia's Sumatra Island
in the Andaman Sea late Monday, and the U.S. Geological Survey said it was a
major quake measuring a magnitude of 8.2.

Thai officials issued a warning of a possible tsunami, three months after a
tsunami devastated parts of Indonesia and other countries in the region. The
quake occurred at 11:09 p.m. local at a depth of nearly 19 miles, the USGS
in Golden, Colo., said.

Japan's Meteorological Agency measured the quake at magnitude 8.5.

Re: Mysterious Noise Pollution Is Known As The Hum

This message was sent from: Paranormal.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I live in Roswell, GA. I just discovered this information on the internet
this morning and am quite relieved to discover that I am not crazy. It has
gotten so bothersome to me that I got up to search the internet for some way
to identify this problem, and found this site. I became aware of "the hum"
about 6 months ago. The first night, I wrote it off to a distant neighbor
running a generator all night, since it is not unusual to lose power after a
storm in this area. The second night, I got out of bed about 4 in the
morning and drove all around the area looking for a source of the noise. Of
course I could find none. I only hear it inside my house. I live alone,
and I have yet to find any other neighbor who can hear it. The hum seems to
be there everynight, but is definitely worse on some than others. There has
been a large amount of developement in the area immediately around my
neighborhood preceding the onset of the hum, so I assume it may have
something to do with that. I have wondered if it is atmospheric conditions
that make it worse on some nights than others, but I haven't been able to
identify any patterns. The only thing that is different about my house
compared to my neighbors is that mine is built on a slab. Who knows, maybe
some how that amplifies the hum inside my house verses the others which are
not. But, I have lived in this house for 12 years and the hum has only been
there for 6 months or so. I agree with what others have said here as to
what it sounds like (i.e. a large truck or train going up a steep grade off
in the distance). However, it is not just that I can hear it, but I can
actually feel it also..., so that makes it more difficult to cover with
white noise for sleep. It is at such a frequency that it kind of "warbols"
my ears, or vibrates them. That's what makes it a little un-nerving to live
with. I also thought it might be ambient traffic noise at first, since so
many trees have been cut down for developement nearby. But have rule this
out, since the hum doesn't vary like traffic would -- it's one persistent
pitch. Also, it is as bad or worse during late hours when traffic would be
low, and I go outside and I can't hear it. If there is anyone else in the
Atlanta area dealing with this I would be interesting in hearing about it.
I will keep revisiting this site for more information.

Remains of ancient Egyptian seafaring ships discovered

Remains of ancient Egyptian seafaring ships discovered
NewScientist.com news service / Emma Young
[img]http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:571W-F3PEw8J:www.artsales.com/ARTistory/Ancient_Ships/images/Egypti68.gif[/img] [img]http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:owDRUYTp06YJ:www.artsales.com/ARTistory/Ancient_Ships/images/Sahures_Ship_Oblique_75.jpg[/img]
The first remains of ancient Egyptian seagoing ships ever to be recovered
have been found in two caves on Egypt's Red Sea coast, according to a team
at Boston University in the US.

The team also found fragments of pottery at the site, which could help
resolve controversies about the extent of ancient Egyptian trade voyages.
But details of the newly disclosed finds remain sketchy.

Kathryn Bard, who co-led the dig with Italian archaeologists in December
2004, has revealed to the Boston University weekly community newsletter that
the team found a range of items - including timbers and riggings - inside
the man-made caves, located at the coastal Pharaonic site of Wadi Gawasis.

According to the report, pottery in the caves could date at least some of
the artefacts to a famous 15th century BC naval expedition by Queen
Hatshepsut to the mysterious, incense-producing land of Punt. This voyage is
depicted in detailed reliefs on Queen Hatshepsut's temple on the west bank
of the Nile, near modern-day Luxor.

Bard declined to speak to New Scientist. But the find is exciting, says John
Baines, professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford, UK, who has
been in contact with Bard. "These finds put flesh on what we might have
imagined," he says.

Gold and ebony
The pottery finds include items the Italian researchers think could be from
Yemen - a potential candidate for the modern identity of Punt. The ancient
Egyptians sourced a variety of exotic wares in Punt, including gold, ebony
and incense.

"The Yemeni pottery is very interesting because it was suspected that there
were contacts across the Red Sea - and this proves that there were," Baines
says.

The naval artefacts included two curved cedar planks which might have been
parts of steering oars. But linking these to Queen Hatshepsut's famous
voyage might be a little too specific, he says.

"Kathryn [Bard] has told me the pottery is early New Kingdom, and we know of
no other expedition to Punt in that period, so it is a reasonable guess. But
we also have to bear in mind that almost everything from antiquity is lost,
so there could well have been other voyages."

It is not clear exactly why the artefacts were sealed up inside the caves.
But it is possible that they were offerings to the Egyptian gods. "That
sounds very plausible to me, not least because previous excavations found a
structure made of stone anchors that could again be some sort of
thanks-offering," says Baines.

The team plans to return to the caves in December 2005 to continue their
excavations.

Plants Fix Genes With Copies From Ancestors

Plants Fix Genes With Copies From Ancestors
By Rick Weiss / Washington Post Staff Writer
[img]http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:9eJk3nJZVrsJ:www.don-lindsay-archive.org/creation/dna.jpg[/img]
Plants inherit secret stashes of genetic information from their long-dead
ancestors and can use them to correct errors in their own genes -- a
startling capacity for DNA editing and self-repair wholly unanticipated by
modern genetics, researchers said yesterday.

The newly discovered phenomenon, which resembles the caching of early
versions of a computer document for viewing later, allows plants to archive
copies of genes from generations ago, long assumed to be lost forever.

Then, in a move akin to choosing their parents, plants can apparently
retrieve selected bits of code from that archive and use them to overwrite
the genes they have inherited directly. The process could offer survival
advantages to plants suddenly burdened with new mutations or facing
environmental threats for which the older genes were better adapted.

Scientists predicted that by harnessing the still-mysterious mechanism they
would be able to control plant diseases and create novel varieties of crops.
If the mechanism can be invoked in animals -- as some tantalized scientists
venture may be possible -- it could also offer a revolutionary way to
correct the genetic flaws that lead to cancer and other diseases.

"We think this demonstrates that there's this parallel path of inheritance
that we've overlooked for 100 years, and that's pretty cool," said Robert E.
Pruitt, a professor of botany and plant pathology at Purdue University in
West Lafayette, Ind., who oversaw the studies with co-worker Susan Lolle.

The finding represents a "spectacular discovery," wrote German molecular
biologists Detlef Weigel and Gerd Jurgens in a commentary accompanying the
research in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature, released yesterday. The
existence of an unorthodox inheritance system does not overturn the basic
rules of genetics worked out by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel in the 1800s,
they noted. But like a newly discovered room in a mansion of treasures, it
opens up a mind-boggling world of possibilities and proves that genetics is
still a young science.

"It adds a level of biological complexity and flexibility we hadn't
appreciated," said Lolle, who is on a leave from Purdue to serve at the
National Science Foundation, which funded the work.

The Purdue team began to suspect that something strange was afoot while
studying a mutation in the mustard family weed Arabidopsis thaliana, a
popular workhorse of plant genetics.

The mutation was in a gene known as hothead -- one of many related genes,
including fiddlehead, airhead, pothead and deadhead, that when mutated cause
abnormalities in stems and flowers.

Arabidopsis plants typically self-fertilize. So when both copies of a gene
are mutated in a plant, its offspring is bound to be similarly flawed -- in
hothead's case, exhibiting the parent's mutant flowers.

Yet in the Pruitt-Lolle lab, a small but steady percentage of hothead
offspring had normal flowers, like their grandparents'. Somehow the mutation
-- a single misspelled "letter" of genetic code in a gene made of 1,782
molecular letters -- was being repaired.

"At first, we assumed there had to be a simple explanation," Pruitt said.
But a series of tests over more than a year eliminated every easy
explanation, such as known DNA repair mechanisms or windblown pollen from
normal plants.

Instead, molecular studies indicated that the plants harbored molecular
"memories" of versions of their genetic code going back at least four
generations -- versions that the plant can somehow use as templates to
correct the spelling of mutated stretches of DNA.

The team has not found the templates, but evidence suggests they are pieces
of RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA that can be inherited separately from the
chromosomes that carry the primary genetic code in cells.

Pruitt said others have occasionally noted the appearance of "revertant"
plants but ignored them, assuming they were the result of sloppy technique
or other errors. By contrast, Pruitt and Lolle took the observation
seriously, said Elliot Meyerowitz, a pioneering arabidopsis researcher at
California Institute of Technology.

"There are different sorts of scientists. Some like to ignore the
exceptions, and others like to concentrate on them," Meyerowitz said, adding
that he suspects the novel gene-fixing mechanism is present in a wide
variety of organisms, including animals. He suspects the trick has been
overlooked because it operates only some of the time and because scientists
have been predisposed to write off the evidence as random events.

The discovery, he said, seems on par with a few others that have
significantly modified scientists' understanding of genetics since Mendel.
Studies in corn led to the discovery of an important gene-shuffling
mechanism that has since been found in other plants and animals, including
people. Studies in insects found a new mechanism for gene regulation that
has since been found throughout the biological world. And a mechanism for
turning off genes, first identified in soil-dwelling roundworms and since
found in humans, too, is now one of the hottest topics in medical genetics
because of its potential to shut down disease-causing genes.

"I won't be surprised," Meyerowitz said, if the new DNA editing mechanism is
present in people, too.

Gerald Fink, a professor of genetics at the Whitehead Institute for
Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass., said it would be important to
identify exactly how the mechanism operates and whether it works in all
kinds of genes. But he said he was convinced that "something weird is
definitely going on." The work serves as a good reminder, he added, that the
central genetic code by itself is only part of the mystery of how
inheritance works.

"This gives the lie to the idea that you know everything once you sequence
the genome. You don't."

Lolle said the trick is probably a lifesaver for plants, which cannot run
away from radiation, environmental extremes and other insults to their DNA.
It is probably especially important for self-pollinating plants such as
arabidopsis, she said, which are constantly at risk of becoming seriously
mutated as a result of inbreeding.

She described the mechanism as one that allows a plant to reach back in time
for a version of a gene "that's already been road-tested."

Lolle said she foresees medical benefits as scientists learn to control the
molecular counterpart she suspects is in humans.

"I'm very optimistic," she said. "Once the scientific community takes hold
of this, it's going to work forward at a very rapid pace."

New technology uses human body for broadband networking
[img]http://www.mactonnies.com/aapanels.gif[/img]*
By sending data over the surface of the skin, it may soon be possible to
trade music files by dancing cheek to cheek, or to swap phone numbers by
kissing
By Paul Rubens

"I recently acquired my own in-body device -- a pacemaker -- but it takes a
special radio frequency connector to interface to it. As more and more
implants go into bodies, the need for a good Internet Protocol connection
increases."

Gordon Bell, a senior researcher at Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center in
San Francisco

Your body could soon be the backbone of a broadband personal data network
linking your mobile phone or MP3 player to a cordless headset, your digital
camera to a PC or printer, and all the gadgets you carry around to each other.

These personal area networks are already possible using radio-based
technologies, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or just plain old cables to
connect devices. But NTT, the Japanese communications company, has developed
a technology called RedTacton, which it claims can send data over the
surface of the skin at speeds of up to 2Mbps -- equivalent to a fast
broadband data connection.

Using RedTacton-enabled devices, music from an MP3 player in your pocket
would pass through your clothing and shoot over your body to headphones in
your ears. Instead of fiddling around with a cable to connect your digital
camera to your computer, you could transfer pictures just by touching the PC
while the camera is around your neck. And since data can pass from one body
to another, you could also exchange electronic business cards by shaking
hands, trade music files by dancing cheek to cheek, or swap phone numbers
just by kissing.

NTT is not the first company to use the human body as a conduit for data:
IBM pioneered the field in 1996 with a system that could transfer small
amounts of data at very low speeds, and last June, Microsoft was granted a
patent for "a method and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the
human body."

But RedTacton is arguably the first practical system because, unlike IBM's
or Microsoft's, it doesn't need transmitters to be in direct contact with
the skin -- they can be built into gadgets, carried in pockets or bags, and
will work within about 20cm of your body. RedTacton doesn't introduce an
electric current into the body -- instead, it makes use of the minute
electric field that occurs naturally on the surface of every human body. A
transmitter attached to a device, such as an MP3 player, uses this field to
send data by modulating the field minutely in the same way that a radio
carrier wave is modulated to carry information.

Receiving data is more complicated because the strength of the electric
field involved is so low. RedTacton gets around this using a technique
called electric field photonics: A laser is passed though an electro-optic
crystal, which deflects light differently according to the strength of the
field across it. These deflections are measured and converted back into
electrical signals to retrieve the transmitted data.

An obvious question, however, is why anyone would bother networking though
their body when proven radio-based personal area networking technologies,
such as Bluetooth, already exist? Tom Zimmerman, the inventor of the
original IBM system, says body-based networking is more secure than
broadcast systems, such as Bluetooth, which have a range of about 10m.

"With Bluetooth, it is difficult to rein in the signal and restrict it to
the device you are trying to connect to," says Zimmerman. "You usually want
to communicate with one particular thing, but in a busy place there could be
hundreds of Bluetooth devices within range."

As human beings are ineffective aerials, it is very hard to pick up stray
electronic signals radiating from the body, he says. "This is good for
security because even if you encrypt data it is still possible that it could
be decoded, but if you can't pick it up it can't be cracked."

Zimmerman also believes that, unlike infrared or Bluetooth phones and PDAs,
which enable people to "beam" electronic business cards across a room
without ever formally meeting, body-based networking allows for more natural
interchanges of information between humans.

"If you are very close or touching someone, you are either in a busy subway
train, or you are being intimate with them, or you want to communicate," he
says. "I think it is good to be close to someone when you are exchanging
information."

RedTacton transceivers can be treated as standard network devices, so
software running over Ethernet or other TCP/IP protocol-based networks will
run unmodified.

Gordon Bell, a senior researcher at Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center in
San Francisco, says that while Bluetooth or other radio technologies may be
perfectly suitable to link gadgets for many personal area networking
purposes, there are certain applications for which RedTacton technology
would be ideal.

"I recently acquired my own in-body device -- a pacemaker -- but it takes a
special radio frequency connector to interface to it. As more and more
implants go into bodies, the need for a good Internet Protocol connection
increases," he says.

In the near future, the most important application for body-based networking
may well be for communications within, rather than on the surface of, or
outside, the body.

An intriguing possibility is that the technology will be used as a sort of
secondary nervous system to link large numbers of tiny implanted components
placed beneath the skin to create powerful onboard -- or in-body -- computers.

'Big cat' attacks man in garden - The victim described a "big black figure"
pouncing on him
[img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39434000/jpg/_39434743_panther_203.jpg[/img]
A man has been attacked by a large cat-like animal which jumped out from
bushes in his garden during the night.

Anthony Holder said a 6ft-long black animal pounced, knocked him to the
ground, then mauled him with its claws for about 30 seconds.

He said "I am 6ft and weigh 15 stone and it was considerably stronger and
bigger than me. This thing was huge."

Police were called to Sydenham Park in south-east London and one officer saw
a cat "about the size of a Labrador dog".

'Teeth out'

Armed officers arrived soon after and a search of the nearby railway line
and allotments was carried out.

Mr Holder was looking for his kitten at the bottom of his garden, which
backs onto woodland, when the powerful creature attacked him.

He described how a "big black figure pounced" and he was "in its claws for
about 30 seconds".

"Its teeth were out and I tried to defend myself and eventually I got the
thing off my body."

He was scratched all over his body and suffered swelling and bruising to his
hand and the back of his head.

Police warning

The animal, which Mr Holder is convinced was a panther, then went and sat in
the garden next-door and he called the police

The Metropolitan Police have mounted extra patrols in the area, which is
largely residential and backs on to a railway line.

They have warned people not to approach the animal and to keep pets inside.

The RSPCA and London Zoo are being consulted for specialist advice.

Inquiries are also being made to trace exactly where the animal may have
come from.

Documentary Confirms Hogzilla's Existence

Documentary Confirms Hogzilla's Existence
By ELLIOTT MINOR / Associated Press Writer
[img]http://www.chieftain.com/archive/2004/jul/30/natHOGZILLA.jpg[/img]
[img]http://images.lancasteronline.com/local/big_hog_180.jpg[/img]
ALAPAHA, Ga. -- A team of National Geographic experts has confirmed south
Georgia's monster hog, known to locals as Hogzilla, was indeed real -- and
really, really big.

They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound,
12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and
photographed hanging from a backhoe.

Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts
estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about
800 pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on the
National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and Saturday.

"He was an impressive beast. He was definitely a freak of nature," said
documentary producer Nancy Donnelly. She said Hogzilla's tusks -- one
measuring nearly 18 inches and the other nearly 16 inches -- set a new
Safari Club International North American free-range record.

That wasn't good enough for Ken Holyoak, owner of the 1,500-acre fish farm
and hunting preserve where Hogzilla was shot by guide Chris Griffin.

"I need to stress that they did not have that much to work with, seeing as
how the poor beast had been underground for nearly six months," he said
Monday.

Holyoak said Hogzilla weighed in at half a ton on his farm scales, and that
he personally measured the hog's length at 12 feet while the freshly killed
beast was dangling by straps from a backhoe.

"As with any organic being after death, tissues will decompose and the body
will atrophy, making actual measurements change over time," Holyoak said.
"Have you ever seen a raisin after it was a grape?"

Donnelly said the experts allowed for some shrinkage in making their final
estimate.

Despite the dispute, this town 180 miles south of Atlanta has already
adopted Hogzilla as its own. It went with a Hogzilla theme for its fall
festival, with a parade featuring a Hogzilla princess, children in pink pig
outfits and a float carrying a Hogzilla replica.

"Our insides were just bubbling," said Darlene Turner, who hosted a party to
watch the documentary Sunday night. "At first, I was afraid it might be an
embarrassment. But now I wish everybody could see the documentary. It would
take the doubt out of people's minds."

Russian Man Grows Penis on Arm
MosNews

Russian doctors have conducted an 11-hour operation to replace a patient�s
deformed penis with one grown on his forearm, the Moskovskiy Komsomolets
daily reports.

The 30-year-old Russian man, whose name was changed in the article to
protect his privacy, had a defect from birth � his penis was crooked,
two-and-a-half-inches long and lacked a scrotum, the newspaper writes.

The doctors had the penis removed and attached to the man�s arm. Using his
body tissue it grew to six-and-a-half inches and was sewn back on to his
groin. Silicone tubes were inserted into the organ to ensure an erection was
possible. Doctors also created a scrotum from the patient�s own skin and
placed silicone testicles in it.

A Moscow surgeon said the man will be able to have sex in a few months. He
added: �Women will never suspect it is artificial.�

INEXPLICATA - The Journal of Hispanic Ufology - March 6, 2005
A Mysterious Character Harasses Santa Fe Residents

Local residents say it jumps from house to house, is dressed in
black and has red eyes. After hundreds of complaints, police is
looking for it. Listen to the Sheriff's story on Radio 10.

Santa Fe is jumping. Residents of the southern area are
frightened by the appearance of a strange entity they've dubbed
"the rooftop madman" and who - according to their accounts -
leaps from roof to roof engaging in acrobatics.

Witness claim it stands two meters tall, is entirely clad in
black and wears a balaclava; it sports a cape and its eyes shine
red according to the information received by researchers. This
character is able to cross the streets by leaping from one
rooftop to the next, taking acrobatic leaps that can be of up to
five meters high and ten meters long.

"He looks like the cat man," say some locals. "His outline is
barely visible, his figure. He never showed his face, but they
say they've seen his eyes and that they have a reddish cast."

In an interview with Radio 10, Sheriff Gabriel Legstra
acknowledged that "there is a widespread psychosis. In recent
days we have received hundred of reports at our radio command
center."

"On Tuesday I dispatched 18 units to assuage people's fears. But
ultimately there is no other crime than tresspassing here. The
character goes from one roof to the next, appears inside a
house, has pressed his face against a window but hasn't attacked
anyone."

The psychosis is growing among residents of southern Santa Fe in
spite of having never been attacked. Police confirm that in
recent days calls have multiplied, reporting a man leaping from
one rooftop to the next "like a madman".

According to Diario La Capital, he first appeared in Barrio
Centenario, only meters from the Colon Stadium, but they say he
was seen closer to town, such as in El Arenal, San Lorenzo,
Chalet and Santa Rosa de Lima. This is the area most affected by
the 2003 floods.

In any event, despite the intense combing of the area by dozens
of officers, police were unable to find the character, but
advised the public to remain calm, since there are reports
within the force that some local residents directly tried to
shoot the entity to death.

Mystery grew when several witnesses said that "bullets won't do
anything to it. Its eyes gleam red when it it mocks those who
try to hunt it."

A resident of El Arenal claimed having fired 17 times against it
without bullets having the least effect, while the ghost did
nothing but provoke it, howl like a beast or cry like a child,
making dance steps on the rooftops over which it treads like a
cat.

"People are afraid of being attacked, beaten and robbed by this
man. They fear he will break into their property and are
defending themselves," say those in Regional Unit 1 who in turn
describe the locals as "expectant and armed with knives and
sticks."

Most locals describe a being that appears to have sprung froma
comic book: large in stature, who not only wanders the rooftops
but also crosses the streets in a single bound and can climb
smooth walls up to six meters high. "It's the Devil," say the
bolder or more imaginative ones.

Sheriff Legstra said that a woman told him that "the entity
pointed at her with its finger and left her paralyzed."

Another local woman said that last Monday, during an intense
rain, the phantom managed to jam the car doors of a vehicle with

spite of police warnings.

Others decided to stand guard 24 hours by the doors to their

Residents of the southern section interrutped traffic, claiming

Un misterioso personaje causa p�nico en Santa Fe

Dicen que salta de casa en casa, se viste de negro y que sus ojos son rojos.
Tras cientos de denuncias, la polic�a lo busca. Escuche el incre�ble relato
del comisario en Radio 10

En Santa Fe andan a los saltos. Los vecinos de la zona sur est�n
atemorizados por la aparici�n de un extra�o sujeto, al que llaman "el loco
de los techos" y que, cuentan, se la pasa de techo en techo practicando
saltos acrob�ticos.

Los testigos aseguran que mide dos metros, viste todo de negro, usa un
pasamonta�a, lleva una capa y que sus ojos lucen �rojos�. De acuerdo a la
informaci�n recabada por los investigadores, este hombre puede cruzar la
calle, saltando de techo a techo y da saltos acrob�ticos que pueden ser de
hasta cinco metros de altura y diez de largo.

�Parece el hombre gato� aventuran los pobladores. �Apenas se ve su contorno,
su figura. Nunca mostr� su cara, pero s� dicen que le vieron sus ojos y que
tienen un tono rojizo.�

En di�logo con Radio 10, el comisario mayor Gabriel Legstra reconoci� que
"hay una psicosis general. En los �ltimos d�as recibimos cientos de
denuncias en el comando radioel�ctrico".

"El marte mand� 18 m�viles para calmar la sensaci�n de miedo. Pero, en
definitiva no hay m�s delito que el de la violaci�n a la propiedad, el tipo
va de techo en techo, aparece en el interior de una casa, ha posado su cara
en una ventana pero no ha atacado a nadie".

Psicosis generalizada
La psicosis crece entre los habitantes de la parte sur de la ciudad de Santa
Fe pese a que, seg�n dicen, hasta ahora nunca fueron atacados. La polic�a
confirma que en los �ltimos d�as se han multiplicado los llamados en los que
se denunciaban que hab�a un hombre por los techos �saltando como un loco�.

Seg�n publica el diario La Capital, primero apareci� en el barrio
Centenario, a metros de la cancha de Col�n, pero dicen que despu�s se lo vio
en sectores cercanos, como El Arenal, San Lorenzo, Chalet y Santa Rosa de
Lima. Esta la zona m�s afectada por la inundaci�n de 2003.

De todos modos, pese al intenso rastrillaje de la noche del jueves del que
participaron decenas de efectivos, la polic�a no pudo dar con �l pero
recomend� a la poblaci�n mantener la calma, ya que en la fuerza contaron que
hubo vecinos que directamente intentaron matarlo a tiros.

El misterio creci� cuando varios testigos contaron que "las balas no le
hacen nada. Sus ojos se le ponen rojos cuando se burla de quienes quieren
darle caza".

Un vecino de El Arenal, dijo que le dispar� 17 veces sin que las balas le
hicieran el menor da�o, mientras el fantasma no hac�a otra cosa que
provocarlo, aullar como animal o llorar como un ni�o, dando pasos de baile
sobre los techos en los que camina como si fuera un gato.

�La gente tiene temor de ser atacada, golpeada y robada por este hombre.
Temen que entre en su propiedad y se defiende� dicen en la Unidad Regional I
y a su vez describe que los vecinos �est�n expectantes con cuchillos y palos�.

La mayor�a de los vecinos habla de un ser -que parece salido de los c�mics-
de gran estatura, que no s�lo anda por los techos sino que tambi�n cruza las
calles de un solo salto y hasta trepa paredes lisas de seis metros de
altura. "Es el Diablo", se animan a afirmar los m�s atrevidos, o los m�s
imaginativos.

El comisario Legstra cont� que una mujer le "lleg� a decir que el individuo
le apunt� con el dedo y la dej� inmovilizada".

Otra vecina relat� que en la madrugada del lunes pasado, en momentos en que
llov�a intensamente, el fantasma logr� trabar las puertas de un auto con
siete personas adentro que estaban armadas esperando darle caza, pese a las
advertencias de la polic�a.

Varios decidieron montar guardia durante las 24 horas en las puertas de sus
casas, armados y vigilantes, pero hasta ahora no pudieron capturarlo.

Los vecinos del extremo sur interrumpieron el tr�nsito en reclamo de mayor
iluminaci�n de la zona, ya que muchos se resisten a dejar sus casas solas.

Next generation fighter aircrafts and submarines based on Shark�s
electromagnetic flux for navigation and stealth by Staff reporter
[img]http://www.indiadaily.com/images/editorial/1921_320.gif[/img]
Scientists and defense engineers have understood that Sharks not only use
electromagnetic flux for navigation but also they use it for stealth.

The Defense researchers are working on prototypes that provide similar
capabilities to next generation submarines and fighter aircrafts. If these
researchers are right, next generation submarines and fighter aircrafts will
be able to disappear from any and all radars or similar devices and be able
to navigate towards a target without any artificial guidance systems as it
is used today.

Shark�s stealth is not useful to evade their positions through human eyes or
electronic or sonar devices but it is capable of making the shark invisible
to other aquatic life forms like fishes and others.

Engineers are using the exact same technology to provide the stealth for the
aircrafts and submarines. Varying the electromagnetic flux characteristics
make it possible to evade other kinds or �eyes� including what we know as
Radar, electronic eves dropping, signal intelligence and satellite sensing.

The team consists of biologists, shark specialists, physicists, electronic
engineers, aeronautics and naval engineers. The goal of the team is provide
the technology that can be used for the next generation warfare.

Advanced guidance systems from UFO flight patterns and navigation systems

This message was sent from: Unidentified Flying Objects.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Indian space scientists and technologists closely watch the UFO flight
pattern and navigation systems. The extra-terrestrial flight patterns are
quite different from terrestrial systems days the experts.

The flight patterns and navigation systems are input into computer models to
extrapolate points of disappearances. The computer model uses predictive
analysis to interpolate and extrapolate the flight patterns and navigation
systems.

The involved engineers do not like to talk. But they do indicate that
certain surveillance systems can occasionally view these bizarre flight
patterns.

Replicating their navigation systems and flight patterns are impossible. But
there are indications that the UFOs change their propulsion systems from
optical levels to sonic levels after entering the earth�s atmosphere. After
that a new propulsion system, guidance and navigation systems as well as
flight pattern are followed.

The scientists in India working on these projects also mention that the UFOs
have the capabilities of creating illusions and disappearing into the clouds
of electromagnetic flux any time. That complicates the observation and at
that point only the complex computational algorithms can only come to help
of the technocrats.

In a particular case, an UFO was tracked and followed out of earth�s
atmosphere. That follows though extrapolation provided excellent information
on efficient guidance, navigation and propulsion systems.

Again the daunting problem is really believing these flight patterns because
the extra-terrestrial UFOs can create illusions and virtually disappear any
time.

Underground Extra-terrestrial UFO bases all around the world � a mind
boggling theory
by Staff Reporter

Geologists in the East and West coasts are busy understanding a new theory
that shows possible underground UFO bases all around the world.

According to this theory the UFO bases are along the interface of the seven
large and many small tectonic plates meet each other. According to the UFO
researchers, the underground UFO bases are deep under the ground where
multiple tectonic plates push on top of each other. For example the Indian
plate and Eurasian plates colliding against each other along the Himalayas
makes it an ideal locations.

According to this theory, the UFO bases need to be deep under the ground
because the UFO crafts need to be close to the mantle of the earth.
Servicing of these crafts can be done in that electromagnetic environment
only. In addition according to this theory the crust must be as thick as
possible in that area. That is only available where one tectonic plate moves
on top of another tectonic plate.
[img]http://www.indiadaily.com/images/editorial/1945_1.jpg[/img]
The UFO researchers are now predicting that there are many UFO bases at the
sub-tectonic level. Most of these are in remote areas or under the ocean.

The UFO vehicles according to these researchers are fuelled and serviced in
an environment that has much higher electromagnetic flux.

AOPA-NYTimes report highly misleading / Nothing new in government security doc

This message was sent from: Conspiracy / ParaPolitics.

----------------------------------------------------------------

New York Times report highly misleading
Nothing new in government security document
[img]http://www.aopa.org/images/whatsnew/newsitems/2005/tn_050314times.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.aopa.org/images/whatsnew/newsitems/2005/tn_050314times2.jpg[/img]
AOPA President Phil Boyer is interviewed by CBS correspondent Bob Orr, in
response to the leak of a security report to The New York Times. Boyer also
interviewed with NBC and explained the report contained nothing new and had
been blown out of proportion.

A New York Times report, which has been picked up and repeated by various
news media outlets across the nation, is highly overstated and misleading
and has no new information, according to both AOPA and government security
sources.

In fact, some of the observations about general aviation originated from a
December 2001 government report to Congress.

"The world has changed significantly since then, and that includes major
improvements to general aviation security," said AOPA President Phil Boyer.
"The Times didn't acknowledge those improvements, nor did it say that the
criticism of security reflected the world as it was three years ago, not
today."

The February 2005 security document, an overview of the aviation sector, was
prepared to "stimulate awareness of law enforcement and investigative
activities designed to counter terrorist and criminal threats to the
aviation infrastructure." It was not supposed to be made public. In fact,
the FBI and Department of Homeland Security prohibited its release to the
media. But somebody leaked it to the Times.

And the Times keyed on two paragraphs out of a 24-page report. "Crimes
targeting civil aviation are not a new phenomenon," the report says. It
devotes just two paragraphs to general aviation, noting that as security is
tightened around commercial airliners, terrorists might turn to smaller GA
aircraft.

"All forms of transportation are vulnerable to one degree or another," said
Boyer. "It is impossible to absolutely secure every transportation mode �
including every airport and every aircraft � from every imaginable method of
attack.

"On the other hand, we reiterate what both we and the Homeland Security
Department have said in the past: The typical general aviation aircraft has
neither the mass, cargo capacity, nor speed to cause significant damage. A
small GA aircraft is not a particularly effective weapon. It presents a
limited risk.

"Nevertheless, the general aviation community has taken significant steps
since 9/11 to enhance security in our segment of the transportation system."

For example, there is AOPA's Airport Watch program .

"Because GA is served by thousands of small airports where pilots and
airport staff know one another, Airport Watch is the best form of security,"
said Boyer. "It does what fences and metal detectors never can � it uses the
eyes and ears of hundreds of thousands of GA pilots and airport staff to
identify and report anything that seems suspicious."

In fact, TSA chief Adm. David Stone has touted the value of AOPA's Airport
Watch program, saying it's an ideal tool for securing GA airports . The
federal government receives dozens of phone calls every day from pilots
reporting what might be suspicious activity.

But it is by no means the only security measure that the general aviation
industry has taken since the 2001 terror attacks. In addition, federal
agencies have begun screening pilot databases, requiring pilots to carry a
government-issued photo ID as well as a pilot certificate, and issuing new
counterfeit-resistant plastic pilot certificates.

Pilot IDs must be verified before beginning flight training, and the federal
government has to approve foreign pilots before they can learn to fly in the
United States.

For larger GA aircraft, like those used for some charter flights, the
Transportation Security Administration has implemented additional training
and security rules. In addition, most larger GA aircraft already operate out
of the same airports served by the airlines and therefore benefit from
perimeter fencing, locked gates, special access requirements, and security
and monitoring devices installed at those airports.

"The general aviation community wants to do its part to ensure that the
horrors of 9/11 are never repeated. But many people don't understand that
what works at commercial airports would be ineffective and cost prohibitive
for most GA airports," said Boyer.

For example, putting fences around all of the nation's GA airports would
cost an estimated $30 billion � more than twice what has been spent on
securing commercial aviation since 9/11.

That's one reason why AOPA is focusing on educating decision makers in
Congress and agencies like TSA about the realities of general aviation � so
that any security requirements are appropriate and effective. As part of
that effort, AOPA has regular security meetings with TSA.

And some lawmakers seem to be getting the message. During recent
confirmation hearings for Homeland Security Department Secretary Michael
Chertoff, members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Committee testified that security for airplanes has been addressed, and it
is time to move on to improving security for surface transportation.

Chertoff agreed, saying that it is important that the department not focus
on just one segment like aviation while ignoring significant problems in
other areas, such as the vulnerability of the nation's seaports.

Update: March 15, 2005, 6:51 p.m. EST

Your association in action
What started out to be another Monday morning changed quickly when news of a
New York Times story was reported in newspapers, radio, and TV stations
across the country. The Times referred to an FBI-Department of Homeland
Security Overview. It was a report that summarized about three years of
learning; a report that was created for law enforcement officials; it
contained nothing new and was never intended for the media. And it was a
report that the Times badly distorted. Out of 24 pages � all of which
featured heavy use of the words "may" and "perhaps" � hardly more than one
paragraph even referred to light GA aircraft. And even though it was barely
"news that was fit to print," the Times put it on the front page. And that
got everyone talking. And that's when your association jumped into action.
Shortly after lunch on Monday, Phil Boyer began the first of four TV
interviews that were arranged by AOPA's Media Relations department.
Literally meeting the D.C.-based media halfway, Boyer left AOPA headquarters
in Frederick, Maryland, to speak to the media from the ramp of Montgomery
County Airpark (GAI). There he spent about 20 minutes each with NBC network
news, NBC local affiliate news, Hearst TV, and even CBS network news
reporter Bob Orr (see accompanying photos).
While all that was going on, AOPA Government and Technical Affairs SVP Andy
Cebula headed to D.C. to meet with some of the government's top security
people. There he was able to get the full story behind the Overview document
and provide the needed facts and perspective. And that's when the
ePublishing department kicked in to bring you the real story behind the
day's big story.
Both CBS and NBC aired fair and balanced stories Monday evening. ABC, on the
other hand, played it like the New York Times. But like the Times, ABC
didn't talk to the one organization that understands general aviation and
has always prided itself on giving the media the straight story � warts and
all.
(AOPA would also like to thank GAI Airport Manager John Luke for his
generous cooperation and hospitality.)

What didn't get on TV - A look behind the scenes

Sometimes members ask us, "Why didn't you say that?" to the TV reporter. Or
"Why didn't you talk about..." Well, we usually did. But TV time is

the CBS story.

But this time, we taped all of the interviews with Phil Boyer, four
networks' worth, more than 60 minutes of tape. We won't show it all to you,
but click here to get an idea of what's said versus what gets edited out
(13 minutes; broadband recommended).

UFO Propulsion System - Bending time and space

This message was sent from: Unidentified Flying Objects.

----------------------------------------------------------------

UFO Propulsion System - Bending time and space by Staff Reporter
[img]http://www.indiadaily.com/images/editorial/1944_320.jpg[/img]
Defense Scientists and Engineers are finally starting to understand the
ultimate propulsion system that can make instantaneous space travel
possible. The UFOs use this propulsion system to travel great distances
instantaneously.

The speed of light is 670,000,000 miles per hour � a number no human being
can ever stand in any craft for a long time. Does that mean UFOs are
unmanned or extra-terrestrial beings are totally different? It is possible
but not likely. Theory of evolution in the Universe says that intelligent
life forms are abundant in the Universe but they have evolved in a similar
way.

Traveling even at the speed of light (670,000,000 miles per hour) is just
not enough to cover distant destinations in the Universe. For example even
at that speed traveling from one constellation to another may take hundreds
of years.

Then how can one travel such great distances in a short span of time? This
is the million-dollar question that has made every country in the world keep
quiet about UFOs and cover up their existence and interaction. Every country
believes they will be the first to uncover the technology of �flash travel�
which is the term used in traveling from point A to point B in the Universe
instantaneously.

To understand the concept, imagine you have to travel from New York to New
Delhi, two points in the opposite sides of the globe. Now think you have the
technology of freezing time and then get back to current time. At 9AM (or
any other time of a particular day), you take the instance of the globe and
freeze it for travel. Now assume the globe is made of paper or some other
flexible material. Now you deform the globe and bring NY and New Delhi touch
each other. Then travel from NY to New Delhi instantaneously because the
distance is really very little since you deformed the globe. After
completing the travel you put the globe back to its original configuration.
And you transfer yourself to the current time.

This may seem complex but actually once the technology is mastered it is
really simple. Another way to understand this is to hold a piece of
rectangular paper in your hand. Bring the two opposite corners of the
rectangular piece of paper together and make them touch each other. Now the
distance between the two opposite corner is really zero.

Bending space and time is the concept where you do not travel to the
destination; you bring the destination close to you. This is exactly how
UFOs travel from one destination to another. That is the reason why those
who are waiting with their telescope in the open sly to find UFOs will never
find them.

Scientists and Engineers are now perplexed trying to understand how that
kind of space travel is possible. The answer lies in using something known
as dark energy. The dark energy allows disintegration or deformation of
space. There are some early indications that dark energy also allows
isolating time dimensions.

Physicists and Engineers are researching the use of dark energy. The purpose
is to understand the process of bending the space and time. That requires
UFO flight patterns; sighting information and a mathematical algorithm to
back calculate their flight positions in a more than three dimensional
geometry. Computer models are helping. We do not have the technologies to
capture or isolate time dimension. Can you draw a block or a cube on a piece
of paper? Yes, you can. It is called an isometric drawing

It is the process of drawing a three-dimensional drawing on a two
dimensional paper. Similarly, complex algorithms are allowing reverse
engineering the UFO Time and Space bending in a medium that is
three-dimensional. The resulting map is showing the space and time (four
dimensions) in a three dimensional environment.

Sometimes you wonder what any one can gain spending so much time and money
to hide and cover up all the UFO information? Why so much ridicule around
something every country in running after since 1890? The answer is the fact
that any one who can master this time and space bending technology will be
ahead of others by many years.

There are early indications that scientists and engineers have got an early
indication to the concept of bending time and space using dark energy.
Interestingly, the whole concept starts with Einstein�s Theory of Relativity.

Lab fireball 'may be black hole'
[img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40935000/jpg/_40935279_blackhole_bbc_203.jpg[/img]
Creating the conditions for the formation of black holes is one of the aims
of particle physics
A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a
black hole, a physicist has said.

It was generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York,
US, which smashes beams of gold nuclei together at near light speeds.

Horatiu Nastase says his calculations show that the core of the fireball has
a striking similarity to a black hole.

His work has been published on the pre-print website arxiv.org and is
reported in New Scientist magazine.

When the gold nuclei smash into each other they are broken down into
particles called quarks and gluons.

These form a ball of plasma about 300 times hotter than the surface of the
Sun. This fireball, which lasts just 10 million, billion, billionths of a
second, can be detected because it absorbs jets of particles produced by the
beam collisions.

But Nastase, of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, says there is
something unusual about it.

Ten times as many jets were being absorbed by the fireball as were predicted
by calculations.

The Brown researcher thinks the particles are disappearing into the
fireball's core and reappearing as thermal radiation, just as matter is
thought to fall into a black hole and come out as "Hawking" radiation.

However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to
pose a threat. At these energies and distances, gravity is not the dominant
force in a black hole.

Thanks for the support. Umfortunately, I did not check this email until

Re: your question about low-flying UFOs-- in the early 1990s, I went up to
the Antelope Valley area of L.A. county to look at a military contractor's
area there. I didn't see anything, but a few people I interviewed claimed to
have seen many unconventional things in the air in the area. There are many
other reports of the "flying triangles" or delt-wing-shaped things flying
near bases. I have found that there are projects to fly lighter-than-air
craft at low altitudes that are not coincidentally triangle- and
delta-shaped and huge. I have seen pictures of these craft (in a magazine
that I have miplaced) and they do indeed resemble things that are reported
(even by Art himself.) They are slow-moving and almost (I repeat almost)
never perform the zippy sort of aerobatics associated with other "classic"
UFOs. This by no means "solves" the mystery, but it may be a clue.

Bigfoot Hunting Ban in Nebraska?

Nebraska senator: Protect Bigfoot, itching, lounging
[img]http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:4hiOGUW-8WcJ:www.70slivekidvid.com/bigfoot/bgft1.jpg[/img]
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) � What do Bigfoot, Noah's Ark and Amelia Earhart's plane
have in common?

They're all being used to make a point by Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers, who is
taking aim at a measure to protect hunting.

In an attempt to mock the proposed change to Nebraska's constitution,
Chambers has filed 35 amendments to protect the hunting of a myriad of other
things, including the missing Earhart plane, the ark, Osama bin Laden and
the Holy Grail.

"This state is not going to ban fishing, hunting and trapping," said
Chambers, who believes the proposal is unnecessary.

While there is no immediate threat, there are animal rights groups that
would like to see hunting, fishing and trapping outlawed, said Sen. Ed
Schrock, who introduced the measure. "I think we should probably get out
ahead of this."

The proposed amendment would add one paragraph to the state constitution
that says fishing, trapping, and hunting are a "valued part of the heritage
of the people and will be a right forever preserved."

Eleven other states have similar protections in law or the constitution.
Rhode Island and California also have amendments protecting the right to fish.

Chambers successfully shot down a similar proposal last year. If he gets his
way, laughing, coughing, itching, scratching, lounging, munching and "being
oneself" also will be protected.

News still Hiding Up on Major Mishaps of 1986 and 1987

This message was sent from: Conspiracy / ParaPolitics.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Stock Market Crashes Blamed on "Computer Problems" part of a Big Cover-Up

Between the 9th to 12th of September 1986
there was a sudden dramatic fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Index
of about EIGHT PERCENT or 150 points.

This came about a week after a widely reported statement,
by "Supreme Allied Commander", General Rogers,
that nuclear weapon attacks could possibly be made
against the Muslim in Africa.

Later, on and after the 19th of October 1987, there
was an even greater major collapse in World economic indices,
of almost 35 PERCENT or many hundreds of points.

This came in a period of rabid and raging Anti-Semitism
and destruction of oil platforms, in the Gulf of Iran,
by United States' Government militarist activities,
sometimes known as "gunboat diplomacy".

Deceptively, the News' media attribute these market
heart-attacks to "computer problems".

More rational explanations for the market falls are found in
the unusual events that occurred after the United States'
Government military threats and attacks.

In the first strike of market fright, after the threat of
nuclear-weapon usage was made :

A large commercial passenger plane crashed over
Disneyland, California, the traditional home of "Mickey Mouse"

and

Very strange things happened near rural military areas
in the United States:

UFO's (Extraterrestrial Flying Objects) killed many large animals,
such as cattle and horses!

The second event has been seen before.

It is a type of UFO phenomena frequently visited
on many countries since the 1970's.

Reference to it can be found in books such as

UFO Coverup by Lawrence Fawcett
(Prentice Hall; also once titled Clear Intent).

It often bears the same characteristics :

UFO's are able to enter any air-space,
irrespective of military aircraft or missile attacks.

Then the UFO's descend over animals to perform
hideously grotesque surgical operations!

Over 60,000 livestock have been killed in this way by UFO's
in North America since about 1975, despite a massive News' cover-up.

Could these horribly gruesome operations be implied messages,
of the types of things, Intelligences of the UFO's, do to
Nuclear Nazi activities, such as those threatened by
Government officials in September 1986?

See Chart of Dow Jones Industrial Index September 1986

http://www.geocities.com/intelligences/gifs/chart86.gif

The second World market crash, in 1987, occurred with
direct correlation to violent human activities in the Gulf of
Iran.

It was also accompanied by a major strange activity:
a massive and devastating weather system, resembling a giant hurricane,
that impacted on the south of the British Isles. The
system was noted to be the worst cyclic storm to strike
Royal Britain in recorded history!

Could this Nature Activity be a Message, given the World
Order, that Nature did not like the human militarism (including
naval attacks on oil platforms) that attempted to pollute and
destroy the Gulf of Iran in October 1987?

See Chart of New York, London and Tokyo Market Indices October 1987

Perhaps an even more dire warning is to be found in the
translation of "Chernobyl", the name of a Soviet town
having a major nuclear disaster:

In early 1986 the News were whipping the masses of the United
States, Europe, Russia and other countries, into a frenzy,
leading to warfare with the Muslim in many places. Also,
Marxist-terrorist attacks were being made throughout Europe.

Then, in these attempts to start the World Anti-Islamic War,
"Chernobyl" happened, and the focus of the News' media was
forced to change, away from War Propaganda, to a major nuclear
disaster. And the Soviet elite curtailed activities of the
Marxist-terrorist squads!

"Chernobyl" had a Nuclear Energy Fission plant.

Fission can "break-it-up" or "separate" things.

Also, very interestingly, "Chernobyl" can mean "Black and
White" in Russian! (A Black and White TV is called a
"Chern-O-Bily" in Russia).

Yet the News rarely gave translation, to the public,
of the name "Chernobyl", from Ukrainian Russian to other
languages!

(Chern = Black, Byl = White as in Byl-O-Russia).

Could the "Chernobyl" nuclear disaster have been a unique way
of instructing the World Order, that "Black and White"
human races should "break-it-up" or "separate", in
planned war attempts, that profit the major war industries?

Conclusion

People throughout the Planet sometimes realise that
Big Wealthy Humans seek to gain by deviate activities such as

War-for-Gold,
World-Monopolism,
Military-Govern-Mentalism
and
Dangerous use of Super-Natural Forces
(Nuclear Bombs and other High Technology "Advanced" Weapons).

Yet the News rarely give truthful information to Mankind
that would endanger the World Elite, because of course:

The News are the World Elite!

Might the News be hiding certain things from Mankind

Lest the Billions rise-up against the News?

Peace Can Be Healthy

LAKE CITY, Fla. -- When Teresa Morrison's cat had a litter Tuesday, she
noticed something was different about one of the kittens.

"I thought it had growth on its face," she said. The kitten has two mouths,
two noses and four eyes. She immediately called her veterinarian.

"He said he's never seen it. Never," Morrison said.

The kitten is nursing from its mother, which the vet said is a good sign.

"(She's) feeding off one mouth now; sometimes go to the other one, but he's
not getting it open," Morrison said.

The vet told Morrison he didn't know if the cat has one or two brains, but
having one would give the cat a better chance to survive.

He said if the kitten lives 48 hours, he has a good chance of living a full
life.

Wednesday morning, Morrison named the cat "Deuce."

Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
United Press International
[img]http://content.clearchannel.com/Photos/military/iraq/Saddam_Captured/saddam_hole2_ChrisHondrus2.jpg[/img]
A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.

Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily
al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12,
2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.

"I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched
for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him
in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou
Rabeh said.

"We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese
origin was killed," he said.

He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on
the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to
surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."

"Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's
capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.

Abou Rabeh was interviewed in Lebanon.

Pentagon Sued for Records on Propaganda, Psy-Ops Against US Civilians

PENTAGON SUED FOR RECORDS ON PROPAGANDA, PSY-OPS AND �PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT�
TARGETING U.S. CIVILIANS

Pentagon Media Consultants Develop �Empower Peace� Internet Site Aimed at
School Children

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates
and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has filed a
lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking records
under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (�FOIA�), 5 U.S.C. '
552, from the Department of Defense concerning Pentagon funded programs
engaged in �strategic influence, perception management, strategic
information warfare and/or strategic psychological operations� through media
consultants, �think tanks,� foreign expatriate political organizations and
Internet sites. Judicial Watch filed its FOIA request with the Pentagon on
March 23, 2004. Following eight (8) requests for a status update, several
phone calls and Judicial Watch offers to accept incremental production of
the requested records, the Pentagon produced only two (2) spreadsheets
listing Defense Department contracts. Judicial Watch was forced to file suit
on February 25, 2005.

Judicial Watch is seeking, among other matters; information on a �peace
movement� Internet site that reportedly was funded and established by the
Pentagon called �Empower Peace.� The site was developed by The Rendon Group,
a media consultancy firm the Pentagon has paid more than $40 million dollars
to since 2001, and targets participation of American school age children,
teachers and schools in what appears to be a �grassroots� peace movement.
The Rendon Group�s relationship with the Pentagon has been reported in the
New York Times and public relations trade magazines. �Empower Peace� offers
�cultural awareness,� interactive web broadcasts between New York and
Jordan, as well as Boston and Bahrain, and interaction with school age
children of Islamic countries. There is no indication on the site that it is
a project of the U.S. Defense Department.

The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. ' 1461), forbids the domestic
dissemination of U.S. government authored or developed propaganda or
�official news� deliberately designed to influence public opinion or policy.
The Pentagon has made aggressive use of various information warfare
techniques, developing new programs and hiring outside media consultants in
executing their various missions in the Global War on Terror.

�Programs such as �Empower Peace,� in addition to their dubious value, may
be in violation of U.S. law,� stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Hunter Thompson friend confirms was on to White House callboy story

This message was sent from: Breaking News.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Via LibertyThink.com - Check out this short partial transcript below and
this audio file (link below) from Thursday's Alex Jones show. The audio clip
has material not in the transcript. Jones' sites may or may not plan to post
more complete audio.

ALEX JONES: We're talking to a renowned journalist and writer, Paul William
Roberts. Wrote a story for The Globe & Mail up in Canada where he talked
about Hunter S. Thompson before he died mysteriously a few weeks ago, saying
he believed the government may have been involved in 9/11, and he was
concerned. He lived basically in a little armored compound... now they're
saying he committed suicide.

But Paul has also interviewed people like Saddam Hussein; has written on the
subject -- just this whole global empire...

CALLER "Scott from Texas": I was just wondering if you guys might be able to
clear up something I heard through the journalist Sherman Skolnick. He is
reporting that another story or book, I don't remember exactly which, that
Hunter S. Thompson was working on was about this gay prostitution ring in
the White House and supposedly that was another touchy topic that he brought
out, and the whole...

JONES: Had you heard that from Hunter?

PAUL WILLAM ROBERTS: Yeah, I had heard that quite a lot from Hunter. It goes
back to Kissinger, I believe.

JONES: Wow.

Now that's a big confirmation. Now for those who don't know, We have
Washington Times articles from 1989, you know -- 'underage call boys in the
White House', and so this is serious . .. Hunter was working on that?

ROBERTS: Yeah, in fact Lyndon LaRouche published some stuff about that. And
although, you know, a lot of his material was not that trustworthy, in this
particular case there were a lot of sources cited and there was no lawsuit.
And where there's no lawsuit you can be almost guaranteed that it's true.

CALLER: And I'm wondering if that might not be a hotter issue otherwise,
because you get into the Jeff Gannon case and the whole gay prostitution and
that's a national security issue.

JONES: Well, Skolnick is saying that now, we're talking about some of the
fake reporters, and we know that ... again I haven't confirmed that part of
the story but i'd like 2 get some conf on that

CALLER: And also it's interesting too because it dovetails with Jeff Gannon
possibly being the leak that leaked the story about Valerie Plame...

JONES: Well let me just add this. I mean, we have the New York Post: 'Top
gay porn star services moguls at Bohemian Grove... I mean I have Parade
magazine articles, Spy magazine articles from the 80s where, as I said they
bus in the gay prostitutes like Beluga caviar for our "Christian
conservative" leaders... And is that what Hunter S. Thompson was on to?

ROBERTS: He certainly knew all about that and I believe had written about
it. I don't know wheher there was a book in the works, but he certainly had
published columns on it...

JONES: Well it certainly looks pretty suspicious. Man let me tell you.

[LATER IN THE PROGRAM]

CALLER "Thomas in Colorado": I never met Mr. -- Dr. Thompson myself, but we
had a muutal friend and I'm still friends with this guy and through this
mutual friend, I passed on to him about a year ago some of your vidoes. So
Dr Thompson watched your videos, I know this for a fact and through my
friend I heard that he was impressed and he said something to the effect,
"Yes, that's the way it is" or "That's the way things are."

experience in radio was also in evidence during this program. You knew just
when to help Art with a question, keep Richard on track, and add your own
insights to the discussion. I swear, it almost sounded like you and Art
were in the same studio being co-ordinated by a producer.... brilliant work!

I have now listened to that program on streamlink 4 times, and I get

I was in a band a few years ago with a guy who worked at the J.Pickel
research center in north Austin on secret DOD Rail Gun technology. Here is a
Spaceman article alluding to this.

This seems to be the same kind of thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Austin American-Statesman -- April 6, 1998

Research on electric weapons generates buzz for UT institute
By: Dick Stanley

In the early 21st century, electricity won't just run the television,
computer and hair dryer.

It will form shields like those on Star Trek'' around ground combat
vehicles, power high-technology guns and run super-quiet engines.

They'll run over you before you hear them coming,'' University of Texas
physicist Harry Fair said.

It's not science fiction but Army research, some of it secret and all of it
maturing at UT's 8-year-old Institute for Advanced Technology, which Fair
directs.

UT won the institute -- which the Army finances for $10 million a year -- in
a late 1980s competition with the University of California and the Los
Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

UT won because it had been doing groundbreaking engineering research for
more than a decade on a prime international military interest: revolutionary
electric guns and the advanced electric generators to power them.

The weapons, which were first developed in the Star Wars missile defense
program, also are being researched by the European and Russian militaries.

They are being considered for arming all-electric combat vehicles, to defend
against aircraft and missiles, for artillery with the unprecedented range of
155 miles (almost 20 times that of conventional artillery) and to supplement
cruise missiles.

The UT institute is near the J.J. Pickle Research Campus in North Austin,
but its lab is miles away, northwest of the city in a former furniture
factory in Leander.

In the lab's main room last week, Fair, 61, explained the unclassified
workings of what looked like a black bridge beam. A test model of an
electric gun, the 21- foot-long beam is the centerpiece of UT research into
the guns, generators and highly classified electric armor, which could make
the raise the shields'' command used on the starship Enterprise a reality.

Behind the test gun were floor- to-ceiling electric generators that UT's
Center for Electromechanics, in cooperative research, is working to reduce
to the size of a garbage can.

The smaller generator, dubbed a compulsator, also would be a battery, with
an internal flywheel to store the electricity it produced for running
electric engines as well as powering the guns and electric armor.

Both the room-size and small generators can deliver 900 million watts --
roughly the daily electric power consumption of Travis County -- in pulses
lasting a tenth of a second.

The pulses would fling 12-inch- long, thin tungsten darts from the copper
rails of an electric gun at velocities of almost two miles a second -- three
times the speed of a deer rifle's bullet and almost twice as fast as the
explosive shells of the Army's front-line battle tank, the M-1 Abrams.

X-ray studies of the nonexplosive darts show that, at electric gun
velocities, they strike steel with a flash of light and penetrate more than
6 inches before being vaporized by the energy created by the impact.

The darts could shred enemy tanks and troop carriers, disabling them and
killing the troops inside. The idea is for (the enemy) to run out of armor
before you run out of projectiles,'' said Don Berry, an institute researcher.

Although electric guns are being tested in cannon and machine gun forms,
none yet approaches the people-sized one that Arnold Schwarzenegger carried
in the 1996 movie Eraser''.

Fair, who is acting as a host to a growing number of visiting Army generals,
expects the military's logistics branches to become the biggest backers of a
conversion to electric guns. Unlike conventional ammunition, the
nonexplosive darts aren't dangerous to store or transport.

UT researchers are far less open about electric armor, which is being
researched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as well as
the Army and Marine Corps.

The technology, according to military journals such as International Defence
Review, uses electric generators to form strong electromagnetic fields
inside steel boxes. Attached to the exteriors of combat vehicles, the boxes
slow down a missile or another weapon long enough for the electric fields
inside to deflect them.

NASA is considering using electric armor to shield the new International
Space Station from potentially dangerous collisions with space debris.

You can provide extraordinary protection electrically,'' Fair said.

CONFIRMED: Hunter Thompson WAS to Xpose 911WTC Explosives and PedophileSexRings

CONFIRMED: Hunter S. Thompson WAS Writing eXpose Articles on 911 WTC
Demolitions and Washington DC's Pedophile-Sex-Rings

Today, Alex Jones interviewed Toronto Globe and Mail journalist, Paul
William Roberts, confirmed that his recent article, Alexander Pope in a
prose convertible (Saturday, February 26, 2005, Page F9), WAS NOT SATIRE.

Hunter Thompson was working on WTC collapse story before mysterious sudden
death
Tuesday, March 01, 2005

Toronto Globe and Mail February 26, 2005
:

He'd been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had
stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been
brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive
charges set off in their foundations. ..

Hunter S. Thompson ... was indeed working on such a story.

Now check out this February 25 Associated Press story about Thompson's
death. Sounds a lot like a professional hit with a silencer:
"I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver down and he did it. I
heard the clicking of the gun," Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in
Friday's editions.

She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they
could work on his weekly ESPN column...

Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had
happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.

(Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly
different: "I did not hear any bang," she told Kass. She added that
Thompson's son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had
fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass' report.)

Mack White sums up the questions well:
Thompson's family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough pain to
kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on
the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided
it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told)
while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not
finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important
thing he would ever write) (?)...

Ray gun can drop rioters from 2km

This message was sent from: General.

----------------------------------------------------------------

A RAY gun which can deliver a bout of excruciating pain to rioters from a
distance of more than two kilometres is being developed by weapons experts
in the United States.

Although the gun is meant to leave the victims unharmed, the development has
aroused fury among pain researchers, who claim their work to limit and
control pain has been hijacked to create a weapon.

They say the new technology, which is intended to replace the existing last
line of defence against rioters, for example water cannons and tear gas,
could be used for torture.

A report in the New Scientist magazine reveals that the research came to
light in documents unearthed by the Sunshine Project, an organisation based
in Texas and in Hamburg, Germany, that exposes biological weapons
developments and advances. The papers were released under US freedom of
information legislation.

One of the documents, a research contract between the Office of Naval
Research and the University of Florida in Gainsville, examines the effects
of what are termed Pulsed Energy Projectiles (PEPs), which fire a laser
pulse that generates a burst of expanding plasma when it comes into contact
with something solid, such as a human body.

Although it is not expected to be ready until 2007, the weapon could be used
to knock rioters clean off their feet.

A review of non-lethal weapons in 2003 by the US naval studies board, which
advises its domestic military forces, declared that PEPs produced "pain and
temporary paralysis" in tests on animals. It is believed that the effect
results from an electromagnetic pulse produced by the expanding plasma that
triggers impulses in the nerve cells.

The study aims to concentrate this trigger effect in human nerve cells, and
asks those working on the research to look for "optimal pulse parameters to
evoke peak nociceptor activation". Roughly translated, this means maximising
the amount of pain caused by the pulse. Experiments will seek to identify
how much pain can be inflicted before the subject is injured or killed.

Dr John Wood, of University College London, is an expert in how the human
brain perceives pain and believes that the researchers should be condemned
by the international scientific community.

He said: "It could be used for torture. The researchers must be aware of
this."

Students Haunt Theater to Hunt Down Ghosts

This message was sent from: Haunted Place or Sacred Space.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hum along, now:
Bum pa-da, bum pa-da, bum pa-da, bum pah -

Bum pa-da, bum pa-da, bum pa-da, bum pah!

Something weird in your neighborhood?

Better take a class - Ghost Hunters.

Actually, the first-time Lane Community College course is called "Ghost
Hunting 101." And it's proved frightfully popular, drawing 15 students from
as far away as Brownsville and Roseburg.

After six weeks of classroom instruction on how to invite and document
paranormal manifestations, the Lane students did their first investigation
Saturday at Eugene's Bijou Art Cinemas.

Sarah Townsend takes photographs Saturday in the empty Bijou Art Cinemas in
search of paranormal activity. The investigation was part of a Lane
Community College class.

A picture snapped by a student Saturday inside Bijou Art Cinemas appears to
show an apparition. In the large photo (above), a figure appears in the
foreground, in front of the projection screen. In an enlargement, the figure
appears to be wearing a necktie and cap. Instructor Martina Baker suggested
it may be the ghost of a mortician who once worked there.

The atmosphere was perfect. Cobwebs draped the chandeliers. Rooms inside
were dark, drafty and musty. Plus, the place is rife with rumors of ghost
sightings past, said manager Louise Thomas.

Lore holds that a local restaurant owner once felt a ghostly presence here,
Thomas said. And former employees reported unnerving incidents, such as
items falling off shelves and walls as they walked into empty rooms.

But Thomas attributes those to former Bijou worker Jerry Wolkski, who
delighted in booby-trapping rooms to scare his more superstitious colleagues.

"I've spent the night here working, and I've never seen or heard anything,"
she said.

Undeterred, the fledging ghost hunters in Martina and Todd Baker's class set
to work with cameras, electromagnetic field detectors, temperature probes
and tape recorders.

"We're here doing a paranormal investigation," Sarah Townsend of Eugene
announced as her group of four students entered Theater No. 1, once a
mortuary. "If anyone would like to be recorded or have their picture taken,
please speak up!"

Her four-student posse scoured the room. They snapped pictures in the
seemingly empty theater, occasionally capturing what they called "auras" -
circles of white or colored light.

They also complained of ghosts draining their camera batteries.

"They tend to draw energy from you," said student R.J. Herb.

"You guys! I felt a cold spot on the stairs," exclaimed Lisa Carpenter.

But classmate Ann Jenson painstakingly combed the room with a tiny
temperature probe and never found the 10 degree drop that Todd Baker said
signaled a ghost.

Baker, an archaeologist who with his wife runs the Portland-based Pacific
Paranormal Research Society, carried a large, "tri-field" electromagnetic
meter to seek moving spirits in "hot" areas.

"Normally, these are used to read things like the electrical wiring, radio
waves and microwaves in your house," he said. "But this one blocks
everything out except for movement energy."

Throughout the three-hour Bijou investigation, he reported several energy
"spikes."

The morning's top find, however, was by student Katherine Krohn.

"I think I've got an apparition here!" she exclaimed. Excited classmates
clustered around her camera's tiny digital display.

Sure enough, the screen showed a cluster of lights near the stage that could
be interpreted as a man wearing a white shirt and tie. (The image also bore
the date 1/1/2001, which Krohn attributed to camera malfunction.)

"Are you sure it's an apparition?" asked one dubious student.

"Hell, yes!" affirmed Martina Baker, who speculated that the ghost's attire
suggested he was a mortician who once worked in the building.

The ghost hunting class was created by LCC's coordinator of part-time
instruction, Carl Horstrup. What possessed him to launch the noncredit course?

It's part of a quest to introduce interesting new classes, he said.

He spotted a similar course in a California college's catalog and invited
the Bakers down to teach the class after visiting their Web site,
www.nwpprs.com.

Ghost Hunting 101 has been so popular, LCC will offer it again spring and
summer terms, Horstrup said.

Martina Baker welcomes all comers, true believers and skeptics alike.

"I mainly want to educate people who've had an experience they can't
explain, so they're not afraid," she said.

Independent Press Was a Target in Iraq
by Danny Schechter
[img]http://www.tvweek.com/images/dated/coverImage_2005_02_28[/img]
With CNN's Eason Jordan silent, or silenced, the right brain of the
blogosphere has nailed a new media scalp to its belt. Mr. Jordan, who had
been with CNN for 23 years, said during the World Economic Forum in
Switzerland that a dozen journalists covering the war "not only [had] been
killed by U.S. troops in Iraq but they had in fact been targeted," according
to press accounts. Mr. Jordan quickly tried to back off his statement, but
the reverberations led to his resignation. Now the issue he raised seems
destined to disappear, with many believing that since he didn't offer
backup, there is nothing to the story.
Not true.

Mr. Jordan's remarks about the targeting and killing of journalists were not
invented out of whole cloth, even if he did do what executives often do:
attempt to dampen a controversy that turns out to be too hot to handle.

Fox News commentators said that even raising the issue of targeting
journalists was "sliming our troops." Like the Pentagon's efforts, this was
a way to dismiss the issue, even though there is evidence to make such a case.

The reality is that Jordan's concerns have a background and context that
were under-reported in our media. Before the war, the Pentagon issued
warnings that sounded like threats, saying it would not guarantee the safety
of journalists who were not officially "embedded" into assigned U.S.
military units.

Pentagon publicist Victoria Clarke, around the time the war began, said that
journalists who went out on their own were "putting themselves at risk."

On March 8, 2003, 12 days before the invasion, Kate Aidie, then a war
correspondent for the BBC, said on RTE radio in Ireland that she was told by
Pentagon officials "that any [satellite] uplinks by journalists would be
fired on" by coalition aircraft.

What they were doing was creating an environment of intimidation and threat.
This was a ploy to ensure that the reporters who did go to Iraq without
Pentagon cooperation would be blamed when anything happened.

This was part of a larger strategy to keep the media in line. It was no
secret that an administration that insisted "You are with us or against us"
was determined to keep the media "on message" by implementing an intrusive
"information dominance" strategy to monitor coverage and "manage perceptions."

The roots of this policy go back to the war in Vietnam, which many in the
military felt was lost because of negative news coverage. The Pentagon was
determined not to let that happen in Iraq.

In his plan for the Iraq war, according to published reports, Gen. Tommy
Franks explicitly referred to the media as the "fourth front." This was an
obvious reference to the "fourth estate." The Pentagon intended to win the
battle of the media as well as the shooting war. To do so, it set the rules
for the media.

Sadly, out of patriotic correctness, the major U.S.-based news networks went
along. Jingoism often displaced journalism. Flag-waving replaced objectivity.

It takes courage just to address the issue. Consider CNN's Christiane
Amanpour's gutsy but controversial condemnation of "disinformation at the
highest levels." Or Ashleigh Banfield's public criticism of "sanitized"
coverage that probably cost her her job at MSNBC. They made clear there was
an official determination to control the news at all costs.

In this atmosphere, it was inevitable that there were incidents involving
journalists. Ask ITN in London what happened to the late Terry Lloyd and his
team, who were driving in a clearly marked TV vehicle shot up by U.S.
soldiers, who at first denied it. ITN officials said they "got nowhere" with
military officials when they tried to investigate the facts surrounding the
incident.

How bad was it? Ask BBC veteran John Simpson, who, accompanied by a military
liaison, was nearly bombed into the next world by a U.S. jet in the North of
Iraq, even when the military knew they were there. Two of his colleagues
were killed.

In an article by Tim Gopsill of Britain's National Union of Journalists, Mr.
Simpson is quoted from the book "Tell Me Lies," edited by David Miller: "The
independent journalists are upholding a great tradition, but my goodness
they are taking a hammering. The system that allows this to happen, even
encourages this to happen, is stupid and despicable."

Adds Nik Gowing of BBC World: "The trouble is that a lot of the
military-particularly the American military-do not want us there. And they
make it very uncomfortable for us to work. And I think that this is leading
to security forces in some instances feeling it is legitimate to target us
with deadly force and with impunity."

Mr. Gopsill also said that "U.S. forces detained and badly mistreated two
journalists, one Portuguese and one Israeli, who they believed were spies."
According to the NUJ, they were beaten. The incident was not widely
reported. (Yes, Iraqi forces also harassed and mistreated journalists. They
killed two foreign embeds with a missile attack.)

After two journalists died April 8, 2003, at Baghdad's Palestine Hotel when
a tank shell was lobbed into a building known by the Pentagon as a site
where numerous Western media were based, Reuters called for an independent
investigation. The International Federation of Journalists angrily demanded
a real probe.

Phillip Knightley, a respected historian on war and media and author of "The
First Casualty: The War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-Maker From the Crimea
to Kosovo," correctly said, "There will be no investigation." He added, "I
believe that the occasional shots fired at media sites are not accidental
and that war correspondents will now be targeted."

As a former CNN producer, I find that the Jordan incident chilled debate and
diverted us from the real issue of how the U.S. military spun media coverage
and why networks went along. A number of journalists covering Iraq-not just
Jordan-continue to believe journalists were targeted.

The citizens-initiated World Tribunal on Iraq, which met in Rome in
February, asks a question that can't be deflected: "Are Mr. Jordan's claims
accurate?"

In its report, it joined "the calls by international media groups and the
families of dead journalists for a full independent investigation by an
international team of journalists who should be given the right to question
members of the military."

"If independent journalists can be killed with impunity," said the report,
"and executives forced out for asking about it, aren't we facing something
more serious than has been raised so far?" n

Danny Schechter, executive editor of MediaChannel and VP and executive
producer of Globalvision, has been a producer at CNN and ABC. He most
recently directed the documentary "WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception," about
media coverage of the war in Iraq. See www.wmdthefilm.com

'Brain pacemaker' may help worst cases of depression: study

This message was sent from: Anomalous Sciences.

----------------------------------------------------------------

TORONTO - Deep electrical stimulation of the brain may help alleviate
severe, chronic depression in patients who don't respond to other
treatments, researchers in Ontario have found.

To test an experimental surgery, doctors placed a device in the brains of
six people who had all been treated for depression with drugs and talk
therapy, and in some cases, electroshock therapy.

When neurosurgeons applied an electrical stimulation to the implanted
electrodes, four of the six patients showed remarkable improvement in mood
and sleep, the study's authors reported in the journal Neuron.

The researchers hypothesized that by targeting an area of the brain's
sadness centre, they could treat depression.

The sadness centre, called Cg25, is thought to play a critical role in
sadness and mood. People with depression may have too much activity in the
part of the brain, scientists speculate.

"We thought that one strategy might be to go in and try to turn down the
activity in these areas and to see whether that would have any benefit,"
said Dr. Andres Lozano, a neurosurgeon at Toronto Western Hospital.

The improvements were immediate and lasted beyond the six months of the
trial. One patient, Jean Harris, said she now thinks she might be able to
return to work.

The results of the experiment need to be repeated in more patients to make
sure the effect wasn't a fluke. Other questions still need answers.

"Who will it be good for, who will it not?" asked Dr. Claire O'Donovan, a
psychiatrist and director of the Mood Disorders Clinic at the QEII Health
Sciences Centre in Halifax. "How long will it take before it has any
clinical impact?"

Since surgery always carries risks, psychiatrists say deep brain stimulation
will likely only be an option for the most serious cases of depression.
