$ John A. Logan College in Carterville, Ill. offers all-Internet classes.
"UFOs: An Alien Connection?" will examine the history of the UFO phenome-
non and speculate on the possibility of alien life. It's a continuing
education course, taught totally on the Net. The class utilizes threaded
discussion boards, web pages, graphics, audio, video, live chat, etc. We
expect to have students from all over the U.S. and in several countries
from around the world. The cost for the 7 week class is only $20.00 The
class starts Monday, January 24, 2000. Registration continues through
January 31. Info is available at http://instruction.jal.cc.il.us/ps999
: How much do you want to learn about UFOs? Are you qualified to teach a
course yourself? Are you alien? Will you be a guest speaker? Are you paid?

# Hope for solo flying. A SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT flying machine that straps on to
the pilot's back has been developed in America. Devised by a former jet
fighter pilot, the Solotrek Exo-Skeletor Flying Vehicle, or XFV, takes off
& lands like a helicopter, using a custom-built 120 horsepower two-stroke
engine to drive two ducted fans above the pilot's head. Up, up and away:

: Do you want to fly? Will the skies fill with idiots in personal flyers,
zooming around crazily, crashing into each other & whatever trees & hills &
buildings get in their way? Should personal flying be outlawed? If winging
is outlawed, will only outlaws take wing? Will they get lost? Do you care?

@ If you wondered why those USGS topographic maps <http://www.usgs.gov/>
you tediously downloaded seem to be scanned crooked, here's why:

@ Ever wonder how GPS http://utexas.edu/depts/grg/gcraft/notes/gps/gps.html
worked, or wanted to use the raw digital data to do the position solution
yourself? Everything you need to know, and even some example code, in Java
www.ualberta.ca/~norris/gps & C http://vase.essex.ac.uk/projects/gps/djjweb
as well as the original author's code, are here, where GPS equations are
explained. http://callisto.worldonline.nl/~samsvl/software.htm
And see: http://www.memepool.com/Subject/Reference/ or stay lost.
: Would you rather map the world, the solar system, the universe, the seas,
alternate dimensions, your consciousness, your genome? Can GPS help you find
your way around your dreamscapes? Do aliens map us better than we humans do?

# SENATOR OPPOSES CHINA IN WTO. (AP) Bucking most US agribiz groups & farm-
state politicos, radlib Paul Wellstone (D-Minn) is waging a lonely fight
against China's entry into the World Trade Organization despite promises
of expanded trade for US producers. He cites Beijing's "deplorable human
rights record" and does not believe that "political liberalization follows
economic liberalization." http://cnn.com/US/9911/27/china.trade.senate.ap/
: Do you work for the internationalist/corporate/Bilderberger conspiracy to
engage China in the world economic system, despite catastrophic effects on
the economies of developed nations? Do Chinese agents pay you well for your
efforts? Can lone dissidents like Sen. Wellstone be marginalized, rendered
irrelevant, or are they so threatening that they must be terminated? When?
# MAKE MONEY FAST!!! Four conmen told victims that their money could grow

million, some say $50 million a month was in fact a true drug/gun op run
by the CIA black ops while George Roden was in possession of Mt. Carmel.
