Hi guys....

I apologize for the duplicate mail that was sent last night.
I have no idea why that happened or if it will occur again.
I have been experiencing some problems with the mail
server, but not of this nature. Hopefully this was just
a fluke.

Thanks for your understanding...

The big bad meltdown
The Earth's ice cover is shrinking fast.

It's a sure sign, experts say, of human-induced global warming.
The evidence 'is pretty overwhelming'

MARTIN MITTELSTAEDT
Environment Reporter
Thursday, March 9, 2000

The Earth's expanses of glaciers, icecaps and polar sea ice, is
shrinking at the highest rate observed since accurate record-
keeping began about 150 years ago.

So says the Worldwatch Institute, an influential environmental
think tank based in Washington, D.C.. The acceleration in
melting during the 1990s occurred in lock step with a rise in
global temperatures.

"The disappearance of Earth's ice cover would significantly
alter the global climate, though the net effects remain
unknown," the institute says. The decrease in ice cover in
almost all regions has raised the question of whether the
observed trend is a normal cyclical fluctuation in the amount of
ice, or something more ominous -- another warning sign that
humans are warming the planet by burning fossil fuels.

Ice has been melting in fits and starts since the end of the
last glaciation. A large amount of melting, for instance,
occurred at the beginning of the 1900s, only to stop, and then
resume with greater force as the century came to a close.

"A lot of critics are saying this [irregular melting trend] did
happen earlier. How do we know it's different?" asks Lisa
Mastny, a researcher who reviewed dozens of scientific papers
looking at the trends in ice cover for the institute. Its report
summarizing the various studies on the world's ice mass was
released this week.

"Based on what I found, I think the evidence is pretty
overwhelming" that global warming is affecting the Earth's ice
cover, Ms. Mastny says.

The Summer That Wasn't
By Lee Dye
Special to ABCNEWS.com

Tree Rings Confirm Eskimo Legend of the Year Winter Came
in July

March 8 - For years, "Old Willie" told the legends of "the
year that summer did not come" for the Eskimos living near
the top of the world. In the tiny villages that dotted the
coastline near present-day Nome, Alaska, only a handful of
people survived.

But the stories remained just that, stories handed down
from one generation to the next, stories that William A.
Oquilluk had heard at the knee of his grandfather in the
early 1900s.

Iceland Ash Darkens Alaskan Skies

Now, more than two centuries after a bitterly cold summer
denied the Kauwerak people of western Alaska the chance to
collect the food they needed for the next winter,
scientists have found powerful evidence that Old Willie's
stories were true. An enormous volcanic eruption in far-off
Iceland spewed so much ash into the sky that it blackened
the sun, and summer really never came in 1783.

Billboards with snappy one-liners signed "God" are coming back -
this time aimed at teen-agers. Clever, terse lines such as "Don't
make me come down there" and "What part of 'Thou Shalt Not'
didn't you understand?" emerged on 10,000 billboards in 40 states
last year. The $25 million, non-denominational campaign, called
God Speaks (see link #1 below), was funded by an anonymous donor
and produced by the Smith Agency of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
..Thousands of new billboards will begin showing up in 17 states
on March 13, the Smith Agency said. The campaign, called Wuzup,
God? (see link #2 below), will show God speaking in hip language,
Steve Rice of the agency told the Washington Times. "These
messages show God speaking with kids in their own language, not
at them."
..Last year's ad campaign was covered by broadcast and cable
news networks, major newspapers, and religious magazines, and won
an OBIE advertising award. A group of ministers called the
campaign "the finest in drive-by evangelism."

Billboards that quoted the Bible on homosexuality have been
removed. The 8-foot-by-16-foot signs quoted a passage saying,
"Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind: It is
abomination." They were posted for five days in the borough of
Staten Island in New York City before being condemned as hateful
and divisive, and removed March 8. One billboard was replaced and
the second was covered over in white, news reports said.
..The billboard company PNE Media of Union, N.J., said the ads
had been "inadvertently posted." PNE Media requires that its
billboards list the name of the advertiser, but the biblical ads
did not. The ads were placed by a group called Keyword
Ministries, PNE Media said. There was no phone listing for
Keyword Ministries or its pastor, Kristopher Okwedy, The
Associated Press said.
.."People may be expressing their religious beliefs, but they
don't understand that these messages fan the fires of prejudice
and hatred," said Guy Molinari, borough president. "I'm terribly
distressed." Charles W. Keeler III, president of Integrity/Staten
Island, a gay ministry within the Episcopal Church, said, "It's
just so cowardly to take a position and not sign your name."

Sales of baby parts lead to investigation

Congress is looking into the sale for profit of aborted baby
parts. A subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives began
hearing testimony March 9.

..It is legal to use the tissue of aborted babies for medical
research as long as it is donated, not sold, by the woman.
Federal law allows companies that collect, preserve, and ship the
tissues to researchers to recoup their costs -- but not to make
money.

..The Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health and the
Environment is investigating four companies, and has found
evidence that they may be selling tissue for profit, Rep. Thomas
Bliley, a pro-life Republican from Virginia who chairs the
Commerce Committee, told ABC News.

..Pro-choice members of the committee had tried to exclude the
public and the media from the hearings, saying they were afraid
that militant abortion foes might retaliate against the parties
involved, news reports said. Both the National Conference of
Catholic Bishops and the National Right to Life Committee accused
abortion-rights advocates on the committee of concealing the
gruesome information because it would outrage the American
public.

..The night before the hearings, the ABC television news
magazine 20/20 spotlighted what it described as a body-parts
industry.

.."People are profiteering and basically making a buck by
getting tissue and distributing it," Arthur Caplan, director of
the University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics, told 20/20.
"It's a sleazy business."

..Fetal tissue became available for medical research in 1993,
when President Clinton, after two days in office, lifted a
long-standing ban. It is in demand because doctors believe it may
be the key to cures and improved treatment for diabetes,
Alzheimer's, AIDS, and Parkinson's disease. Some researchers use
particular fetal cells, while others require whole organs or
limbs.

..Congress put safeguards in place to prevent trafficking of
body parts. It passed a law making it a felony to buy or sell the
tissue for profit; companies that collect, preserve, and ship the
tissues to researchers may charge reasonable fees for their
costs.

..Despite the government's attempts to regulate fetal tissue
research, there is evidence that companies may be violating the
law, ABC said, by buying and selling fetal body parts,
influencing consent to donate, and modifying abortion procedures.

.."This is purely for profit. Everything was about money," Dean
Alberty told 20/20. Alberty, a medical technician, worked for two
companies that served as middlemen by getting fetuses from
abortion clinics and shipping them to researchers.

..The program also showed a hidden-camera interview conducted by
an ABC producer, pretending to be a potential investor, with Dr.
Miles Jones, a pathologist who runs a business called Opening
Lines, which puts out a brochure listing fetal-organ prices.

.."It's market force," Jones said about how he sets his prices.
"It's what you can sell it for." Jones said in the interview that
he hoped to run his own abortion facility in Mexico where he
could get a bigger supply of tissue by offering cheaper
abortions. "If you control the flow, it's probably the equivalent
of the assembly line," he said.

..Alberty told 20/20 correspondent Chris Jones that he put
together one of the firm's price lists -- from $325 for a spinal
cord to $999 for a brain -- prices, he says, that far exceeded
the company's costs. He said the companies for which he worked
sometimes told him to take tissue from fetuses that were not
intended for research, and that some women were put through
longer, more uncomfortable abortion methods to yield better
tissue.

..Alberty said he was originally pro-choice, but was so
disturbed by what he saw that he contacted Life Dynamics (see
link #1 below), a Texas pro-life group that paid him $10,000 to
be an informant. He denies that he has made up stories to push a
political agenda. "I will stand behind my words until I die. I
will go in front of Congress if I have to and testify under
oath."

..But ABC did not air Alberty's "eyewitness accounts of live
babies who were dissected and their organs harvested while still
functioning," Judie Brown of the American Life League said. "In
these cases, according to Alberty, abortions were not performed.
Instead babies were born alive in order to procure undamaged
fetal specimens," she said.

.."It's not the fact that these children are being brutally
murdered and then chopped to bits, but rather the fact that money
is being made on bodies that had been donated - that's what had
20/20 upset," Brown said. "It's not the murder of our little
innocent babies, but rather the fact that mom didn't give her
consent to her child's further demolition for someone else's
profit."

..Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, told Religion Today
that demand for fetal tissue for use (see link #2 below) in
medical research is what drives the demand for late-term
abortions. "It is altering the way abortions are being done.
Clinics are trying to produce more intact fetuses. It is driving
their desire to keep partial-birth abortions legal." Only
partial-birth abortion provides an intact fetus that can be sold,
he said.

..The contention that partial-birth abortions preserve the
health of the mother "is laughable," Crutcher said. "If the
mother's health is truly at stake, why would a doctor order a
procedure that takes two to three days and requires a very risky
breach delivery? The motive for partial-birth is money."

..Crutcher produced a video in which a pro-life "spy" who
purchases fetal tissue from abortion clinics was interviewed. The
video alleges that, in some cases, live babies are born by
mistake but quickly killed. The spy reportedly decided to work
with Life Dynamics after witnessing a set of twins who were alive
outside the mother drowned by the doctor.

..The tape also includes an interview with Eric Harrah, former
owner of a string of abortion clinics (see link #3 below) who
became a pro-life advocate. Harrah now alleges some of the same
abuses that Crutcher recounts.

..The Traditional Values Coalition (see link #4 below) is among
groups that have been active in opposing the sale of fetal
tissue. Legalization of the practice "has led to the birth of an
entire industry that profits by selling body parts - just like a
junk yard sells car parts from wrecked cars," the group said.

..The companies that sell body parts produce promotional
brochures and consent forms for women having abortions. The
full-color glossy brochures describe how abortionists "can turn
their [patient's] decision into something wonderful." For
researchers, the companies send brochures offering "fresh fetal
tissue: harvested and shipped to your specification" when and
where it is needed, news reports said

..The tactics could increase abortions by making women feel less
guilty about having one, anti-abortion groups said. Federal law
requires that a woman must have decided to have an abortion
before she can be asked to donate fetal tissue, in order to limit
coercion. Also, the method of abortion may not be altered to get
a better specimen.

..Sale of fetal parts for profit is "the inevitable logical
progression of a society that, like Darwin, believes we came from
nothing," Gene Rudd of the Christian Medical and Dental Society's
Bioethics Commission told commentator Charles Colson. "When we
fail to see life as sacred and ordained by God as unique, this is
the reasonable conclusion, the inevitable slide down the slippery
slope."

U.S. may trade nukes for missile defense

LONDON, March 8 (UPI) -- Reports from a London-based think-
tank say the Clinton administration may offer to slash
America's nuclear arsenal and put anti-missile weapons on
Russian soil if Moscow lifts a roadblock to the United
States' proposed National Missile Defense system.

The twin International Institute for Strategic Studies
reports, written by four American scholars and released
Wednesday, state that the $12.7 billion NMD plan to protect
America from rogue states' missiles is almost certain to be
approved by President Clinton this summer or his successor
next year.

"Critics of missile defense have lost the debate," say
authors of the report "Deploying NMD: Not Whether But How."
It concludes, "By 2010 the United States will operate at
least one ground-based NMD site capable of providing the
country with some protection against a small-scale missile
attack."

NMD is a vastly scaled-down and, the Pentagon said,
technically feasible version of the "Star Wars" defense
system proposed by the Reagan administration in the 1980s.
A key NMD missile test succeeded in October, although a
test in January missed its mark.

The plan calls for deploying 20 anti-missile "hit-to-kill
interceptors" in Alaska by 2005 and 100 by 2010 to protect
the United States from nuclear attacks from countries such
as North Korea, Iran and Iraq. Long-term plans call for 250
interceptors and a global network of radar stations that
can spot warheads heading for America.

U.N. peacekeepers spreading AIDS, U.S. says By ASHLEY BAKER

WASHINGTON, March 8 (UPI) -- United Nations peacekeepers
are "unintentionally" spreading AIDS in the countries they
are supposed to be helping, a U.S. official told lawmakers
Wednesday.

"All too often, the sad truth is that at times, in trying
to solve on problem such as preventing a war...or
containing conflict, U.N. peacekeepers unintentionally
contribute to another serious problem, the spread of AIDS,"
said Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.

Biometric smart-card scanners are keeping undesirable
elements out of Dutch clubs.
By Lydia Lee
March 2, 2000

To get into the Alcazar Pleasure Village
<http://www.alcazar.nl>, a nightclub in the Netherlands,
you'll have to make it past more than just a velvet rope. A
vigilant "cyber-bouncer" will scan your fingerprint and
face, refusing to let you in if you're a known troublemaker
or waving you through if your file comes up clean. Alcazar
and 14 other Dutch clubs are installing biometric smart-
card scanners to ensure that whoever is working the door
will know who's been naughty and who's been nice. The
biometric ID technology was created by Keyware
Technologies, <http://www.keyware.com> which expects that
the clubs will not only use the cards to identify patrons,
but to store data such as the frequency with which patrons
visit -- offering, in return, "disco dollars" or other
frequent flyer-like promotions redeemable for drinks or a
free coat check. "A small number of individuals can wreak
havoc on the atmosphere at a nightclub, destroying the fun
that most attendees seek," says a Keyware press release.

<http://www.keyware.com/600_news/press_releases/interstrat2
html>

"By implementing Keyware's cutting-edge identification
system, nightclub owners will be able to prevent the
problems caused by unruly patrons and provide a safer and
more enjoyable environment for all." You have to bet some
U.S. nightclubs wouldn't mind implementing a similar
system, since it would ensure that they're never tricked by
a fake ID. The Dutch clubs apparently expect no push-back
from patrons who will be fingerprinted and face-scanned
before they get in. (Their personal data will be embedded
in membership smart cards.) Europeans are culturally
acclimated to biometric smart cards, says Keyware
spokeswoman Siobhan Gallagher; in Spain, for instance, some
people carry biometric smart cards that store their medical
records. The data is stored on the card, rather than
centrally, and biometrics offers strong protection from
unwanted access to the data. Still, even the most
biometrically friendly may squawk if the 15 Dutch
nightclubs go ahead with an option under consideration:
banding together to create a common database of
troublemakers. If you get drunk and obnoxious once in your
life, will you forever be 86'd from clubs across the
country? Could the list be acquired by the police? Could
employers or angry spouses get into your club records and
figure out how much time and money you spend shaking your
booty? The nightclubs are restricting access to that list
to the club owner and the security administrator, and each
is going to set their own policy about whom they block and
how long they block them, according to Liz Marshall,
Keyware's director of communications. "We're really talking
about blocking the rowdiest folks -- the ones that are
getting arrested for their behavior anyway." And it's just
a list -- not a biometric profile -- that the clubs are
keeping, points out Marshall. Still, you have to hope that
before any club implements a system that may spare clean-
nosed dancers a rumble with the unruly, they'll invest in
security that will protect personal data about the innocent
and the damned alike. salon.com

PM to offer state-for-annexation deal

By Uzi Benziman and Ha'aretz Staff
Ha'aretz Correspondent

As negotiations with the Palestinians resume, Prime Minister Ehud Barak is
working toward a new plan for a limited agreement, in which Israel would
recognize a Palestinian state on part of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and
in return the Palestinians would consent to Israeli annexation of some 10
percent of the West Bank, areas where the majority of the settlers live.

Barak plans to propose to Palestinian Chair Yasser Arafat that Israel and the
PA agree on the new plan by September, which is the current deadline for a
permanent status agreement. Barak came up with this idea after concluding
that it would be impossible to resolve all the issues on the table by
September.

The plan is intended to skirt a confrontation between Israel and the PA,
which is likely if the two sides fail to reach a settlement by the deadline and
then resort to unilateral steps.

The new plan allows both sides to agree in advance (whether officially or
implicitly) on moves that are already expected: the declaration of a
Palestinian state, and the Israeli reaction of annexing parts of the West
Bank.

The new proposal does not address the future of some 40 percent of the
West Bank, the status of Jerusalem or the right of return for Palestinian
refugees.

Barak believes that negotiations over these issues is less likely to be
accompanied by violence if they are debated between two sovereign states.

It is unclear whether Israel has already presented Arafat with the plan, which
was hatched in recent weeks. However, according to well-informed sources
in Jerusalem, Arafat likely got at least a hint of the proposal on Wednesday,
when the two sides decided to resume negotiations.Settling for less - B1A
radio interview with Danny Yatom, the prime minister's chief of staff set off a
fire-storm of criticism from the political right yesterday after Yatom said that
Israel would consider handing over the Palestinians neighborhoods that
border on Jerusalem.

Although Israel rejected Arafat's request for Israel to hand over full control
now over Abu Dis, Azariyah, and A-Ram, three Palestinian neighborhoods
now designated as Area B, meaning under Palestinian civilian control,
Yatom's interview indicated that some time in the future Israel would consider
such a move.

The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement in the wake of the criticism
that said "there's no intention now of changing the designations of the
villages outside Jerusalem within the context of the upcoming withdrawal.
Any possible hand-over of territories in the future will be discussed at the
appropriate time." Foreign Minister David Levy said that the government is
determined to keep Jerusalem united as Israel's capital and under its
sovereignty. As to the suburbs outside of the city boundaries, Levy said,
"everything in good time, depending on the progress."

According to right wing politicians, ranging from the National Religious
Party's Yitzhak Levy and Shas's chair Eli Yishai, to settler council chair
Benny Kasriel, Yatom's remarks were proof of the prime minister's intentions
to divide Jerusalem. Levy said that "the coalition that is forming around the
national referendum over the Golan is nothing compared to what will form
around the Jerusalem issue." Shas's Yishai said that his party "will not
support any step that harms Jerusalem's status." Sources in Yisrael b'Aliya
said that their party would also be against any deals with the Palestinians
that hands over parts of Jerusalem.

Kasriel, who heads both the West Bank and Gaza settlements council and a
lobby for "greater Jerusalem," said that Barak should immediately deny
Yatom's remarks, and threatened that if Barak doesn't, "the settlement
council will regard itself as free of any commitments it made to the prime
minister and enter into battle over the issue."

According to a spokesman for the settlement council, the prime minister
signed a secret document with Arafat in order to restart the peace talks. The
settlement council demanded that Barak reveal the document as part of his
promise for "transparent government."

Meanwhile, municipality plans for a Jewish neighborhood in Abu Dis took on
a sudden urgency, with planners suggesting that a tent city for Jewish
settlers be established immediately to forestall any possibility that Abu Dis
would become the capital of a Palestinian state. The Palestinians are hoping
to have a territorially contiguous link between Abu Dis and the Muslim holy
sites on the Temple Mount.

No official Palestinian source yesterday could confirm that Barak had
promised Arafat at their meetings this week that specific territories would be
turned from Area B into Area A, meaning under full Palestinian control. But
sources close to the negotiations team said that they were amazed at the
controversy that arises in Israel whenever there are reports of more of the
West Bank becoming fully Palestinian. "That's what the process is about,"
they said.
