(AP) Scientists may have solved a far-out mystery: how Uranus and Neptune came to exist at the very edges of the solar system. A new study says the 2 icy planets may have been born much closer to the sun than previously thought, and ended in their current orbits after gravitational forces from Jupiter violently hurled them away. Zap: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/planets991208.html : Does this validate Velikovsky? Is Velikovsky's time frame still off by a few million/billion years?

(USC) Bio- medical engineers have created the world's first machine system that can recognize spoken words better than humans can. The system may soon allow voice control of computers, help the deaf, aid air traffic controllers & others who must understand speech in noisy environments, and instantly produce clean transcripts of conversations, identifying each speaker. The U.S. Navy, which listens for the sounds of submarines in the hubbub of the open seas, is another possible user. Not to mention the NSA, of course. http://www.usc.edu/ext-relations/news_service/releases/stories/36013.html : Has automation made human hearing obsolete? Now that machines hear better than humans, will we replace our ears with listening devices? Will our hear- ing implants be reprogrammed by mindcontrollers? Will we enter the Matrix?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ Astronaut Grissom Ritually Murdered? This is richly symbolic & consistent with our previous decoding of NASA's celestial hi-jinks. To have Encke, the veritable embodiment of chaos and death in the Egyptian system, hang- ing over the Cape as the fire broke out is as strong an omen as one could find. The symbolic message of all this seems to be "A Mason is about to be sacrificed." But why was he sacrificed, and why is his memory now being "resurrected" on a ritual date? http://enterprisemission.com/lib7.htm : Have you ritually sacrificed any astronauts or other 33rd degree Masons lately?
