TICKETS
People looking for tickets to concerts and sporting events may not get the chance to buy them on "Ticket Master" or any other well known ticket outlet because there are others using computers and auto dialers to flood Ticket Master with calls as soon as tickets are to go on sale, and buy up all available ticket in a short period of time, only to resale them at higher prices either through ads in news papers or online. Ticket Master has even joined the investigation to put a stop to this type of ticket sales.

TRIBAL MEMBERS INDICTED
HUNT
Nine members of the Makah tribe of the Seattle area, have been indicted on charges in the illegal whale hunt.
In 1994, the Federal gov't removed the California gray whale from the endangered species list. In 1999, the tribe gor a permit through the National Marine Fisheries Service, to kill one whale, which would provide the tribe with a year's worth of whale meat. They killed their first whale in over 70 years. Although the Government allowed that first hunt, there were negotiations to allow the tribe to continue the hunts. Nothing was final.
The man who lead this illegal hunt was the same man who lead the first whale hunt in 1999, in which they are allowed to hunt as their ancestors did, with harpoons. The tribals elders say that these men did not have permission from the tribe and they used high powered rifles this time.

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA PLANNING TO REOPEN FALLOUT SHELTERS
FALLOUT SHELTERS
Because of the increasing threat of an al-Qiada attacks, Huntsville, AL in working on reopening the fallout shelters that were built or designated during the cold war. These shelters were closed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Even the air raid sirens have been changed to tornado sirens.
The one worry I have is, those shelters were laughingly inadequate during the cold war. Most wouldn't have protected anyone from a nuclear attack. Huntsville wants to reopen these shelters in fear that al-Qiada might use a dirty bomb to attack the US.

MAN LIVED WITH DEAD ROOMMATE'S BODY A MONTH
BODY
David Morse, 40, waited a month to report his 86 yr old roommate's death while he cleaned out the roommates bank account and cashed his checks. The reason he didn't report the death is because he had an active warrant for his arrest for non-payment of child support. So far the roommate's death is under investigation.

BEAKED WHALES ARE AFFECTED BY SONAR TEST
WHALES
There is a small group of whales that have been shown to be effected by sonar tests. Beaked whale have been shown to be more sensitive to such after. After a series of tests by the Navy, some beaked whales washed a shore and they were shown to have bleeding around the brain.
Beaked whales dive deeper than most others whales and that may be the reason that they are more sensitive to mid range sonar.

BENT ARROW, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON AUG. 29
MIS-STEPS
It turns out that the B-52 that flew from Minot AFB with nuclear missiles was supposed to be carrying some obsolete missiles to be destroyed. The problems began at the storage locker where conventional missiles were stored with nuclear ones. The second was that the ordinance handlers didn't notice the nuclear labels on half the missiles the pulled to be loaded or even during the loading process. The pilot made the mistake of signing off on everything without doing a "walk around" which most pilots do, to check if the missiles are secured, check for any damage to the plane and if its clear to move it.
It took almost 24hrs before the mistakes were noticed.

SHE MAY GO TO MIT, BUT SHE'S NOT SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER
SHIRT
A student from MIT was wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a plastic circuit board with some different color LEDS on it and a battery, She walked up to the information counter at Logan Airport to check on an incoming flight when the lady behind the counter notified security. Shorty, the student was surrounded by security cops with guns drawn.
The student, Star Simpson, said the device was something all the electrical engineering majors were wearing during the week when prespective employers were on campus during career week.

RALLIES- CON'T
Dennis said...
It's a way to keep Jesse and Al in power
Yeah but who would hold rallies if there were six "good ole boys" beat up a black kid. There would be a lynch mob waiting to hang them, but all because 4oo years ago, Africans were brought here to be slaves, black can get away with anything.

JENA SI X RALLIES
SIX
I can't believe that they are having rallies in New Orleans and Atlanta backing a group of students that they have labeled the "Jena Six." You know that if it was a black student nearly beat to death by a group of white boys, there would be protest calling for those white boys heads. I think its a way to keep the black majority in New Orleans. Without the Ward 9 area being rebuilt at this time, NO has lost its black majority status.

CONGRESS TO GIVE FDA BROADER POWERS
RULES
Congress is set to give the FDA more power. One of the new regulations is that pharmaceutical companies will have to pay a new user fee totalling some $225 million over five years. This fee will cover all drug safety tests. Used to be that a drug company would pay a fee only when they submitted a new drug to be tested.
The FDA will also have the power to control the commerical ads of drugs that are out on the market.

ALABAMA PLAN
DESEGREGATION
A school district in Alabama is using the "No child left behind" law to move black students to schools closer to their neighborhoods. It smacks of desegregation, which has many parents in an uproar. To me, is seems like a way to get parents and others involved in improving those schools. Make repairs, keep drugs and guns out, hire better teachers in those schools. That way black students in black schools will do just as well as white students.

O.J. SIMPSONS ARRESTED, HELD WITHOUT BOND
ARMED ROBBERY
Even intimidating a witness couldn't keep Simpson from being arrested this time. The memorabilia collector who was robbed at gunpoint of items Simpson said was stolen from him, later recorded a phone call from Simpson trying to get the victim to change his story about guns being involved in the robbery. So another charge of tampering with a witness could be involved. If convicted, Simpson could spend up to 30 years in prison. Maybe he is tired of sleeping of friend's couches or where ever and decided to live off the state for a while. He's become more popular as a criminal than as a football star. He tried acting and sportscasting after he retired from football, but wasn't too successful at either. Only his Avis commercials brought him some success.
