"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain
The opposite of a correct
statement is a false statement.
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

book."
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian, philosopher
Life is not a journey to the
grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming:
WOW - What a Ride!"
"Consciously or unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we like."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"We Lakota have a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves, part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

CHICAGO, -- A developmental biologist at Northwestern University in Chicago says humans may soon be able to regenerate their own tissue. Hans-Georg Simon told the Chicago Sun-Times he got his inspiration from newts -- small salamanders that are able to re-grow limbs that have been lost. Simon, who has been studying tissue regeneration for 15 years, recently joined a nationwide team that won a $3.7 million grant from the U.S. Defense Department to study tissue re-growth. He told the news- paper new drugs will be able to turn on dormant growth genes, enabling amputees to re-grow their limbs. However, Simon realizes such a breakthrough may be years off.
"It's not science fiction," said Simon. "It won't happen in a year or two. But it may be a reasonable option in
25 years." The project is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the research arm of the Defense Department.

Hackers on Sunday broke into a part of Microsoft's French Web site, replacing the front page with online graffiti.
The intruders were able to access the server that was running "http://experts.microsoft.fr/," Microsoft confirmed Monday. The attack was claimed by Turkish hackers using the handle "TiTHacK," according to Zone-H, a security Web site that keeps an archive with screenshots of defaced Web sites.
The attackers were likely able to penetrate the server running the Web site due to faulty configuration, Microsoft said in a statement Monday. "Microsoft took the appropriate action to resolve the issue and stop any additional criminal activity," the company said.
After breaking in, the attackers defaced the Microsoft Web site, leaving the following note: "Hi Master (: Your System 0wned By Turkish Hackers! redLine ownz y0u! Special Thanx And Gretz RudeBoy |SacRedSeer| The_Bekir And All Turkish HacKers next target: microsoft.com date: 18/06/2006 @ 19:06 WE WERE HERE...."
While so-called Web site defacements still occur often, they have become less high-profile in recent years as other, financially-motivated threats take the spotlight.
Microsoft is working with law enforcement to investigate and take appropriate action against the attackers, the company said.
The compromised Web site was offline most of Monday. Microsoft said it is working to restore the site, which is hosted at an unidentified third-party Web hosting company. The Web site runs Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 Web server software, according to Netcraft, a U.K.-based Internet-monitoring company.
"We apologize if customers are inconvenienced by the unavailability of the affected Web site," Microsoft said.
"Microsoft is committed to helping protect our customers and we're working diligently with the third-party hosting company to restore the functionality of this Web site as soon as possible."

When will California experience its next big quake along the San Andreas Fault? It's hard to say, but conditions are ripe for a big one near Los Angeles and San Diego.
The southern section of the fault, which crosses through Palm Springs and San Bernardino, has not experienced a major earthquake in at least 300 years, according to Yuri Fialko of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.
As a result, the fault has been stressed to a level where it could unleash an earthquake with a magnitude of seven or greater. The fault marks the intersection where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. The fault-slip rate, or pace of the plate movement at the fault, is about one inch per year. But pressure buildup indicates that the southern region of the fault has accumulated 6 to 8 meters of slip deficit--that is, movement that should have occurred but hasn't because the plates have temporarily become stuck against each other--which inevitably will be released in future earthquakes.
If the accumulated deficit were released in a single event, it would result in an earthquake about the same size as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Such a quake would affect many of the coastal cities in southern California.
Quakes occurred along the central part of the fault in 1857 and 1906 in the northern part of the fault.
Predicting earthquakes, however, is difficult. Scientists generally believe there is a 70 percent chance of a large quake along the San Andreas in the next 30 years. Researchers, though, concede it could happen tomorrow or in
50 years.
Some scientists, however, have begun to conduct research that indicates the Earth gives off early warning signs through increased magnetic signals and other phenomena.
