*** Canada to evaluate herbal medicine. TORONTO (AP) Canada is establishing
a federal office to evaluate and regulate herbal medicines and other alter-
native health products. The government will allocate $6.6 million over three
years to establish the office, and conduct research. See
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2558951116-015
: Should nations have bureaucracies investigating alternative medicine, psi,
ETs, religions, philosophies? Will the Grays let Canada get away with this?
*** Herbal-infertility link explored. WASHINGTON (AP) Some of the most pop-
ular herbal remedies could cause infertility, or genetically damage sperm.
Many women who are pregnant or trying to conceive carefully avoid taking
medications for fear they could endanger chances of a healthy pregnancy. But
herbs and other dietary supplements are marketed as "natural," implying that
they're safe, non-drug remedies. A new study suggests the side effects of
some popular herbs - St. John's wort, echinacea and ginkgo - could block
conception. See www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2558944912-bd3
Do herb-consumers deserve to have impaired reproduction? Is this evolution
in action? Do herbs muck with your alien implants? Should you be cloned?

: Would you rather launch from the ocean, a peninsula, a mountain, your back
yard, city hall, Nazi/Reptilioid Antarctic bases? What will ocean launches
do to the aquatic environment? How do you keep whales away? Do you want to?

*** Mexican nun will become saint. VATICAN CITY (AP) A Mexican nun who foun-
ded a religious order and died only 40 years ago will become a saint. The
Vatican's Congregation for the Cause of Saint said it had officially attri-
buted a miracle to Sister Maria di Gesu Sacramentato Venegas, which clears
her path to sainthood. No information about the miracle was released. ###
: If life is a miracle, aren't we all saints? Does your belief system have
special criteria for sanctity? Do you meet those standards? Do you want to?

"The evilly gibbous moon shed its leering light upon the moor and
the running figure of Ronald Brownley, who - with hands clutching
the forbidden amulet and ears filled with the hellish ululation of
thousands of bounding, spectral hounds - realized that it had been
he, and he alone, who'd cast the horribly portentous deciding vote
against the town's leash law." --Joette M. Rozanski
