Members of campus Greek organizations, including the Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities, have also been compiling collections of study guides, according to their members...
Doomed! We’re all doomed! Floods, hurricanes, swarms of locusts, and other biblical-sized plagues are approaching. Yes, global warming has arrived and it means business. Enter Beck with his new video, “Gamma Ray,” named after the most deadly form of electromagnetic radiation. The master ironist is here to warn us of a world full of melting icecaps and approaching apocalypse. (There may also be a love story somewhere in the lyrics.) Though the world may be ending, Beck’s constant inventiveness and bizarreness certainly are not. To go along...
...them quite rapidly. It's very lethal. Terry Tumpey at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention infected mice with the various strains that made up the 1918 flu. Then we treated the mice either with our five antibodies or with controls. (There were two controls. One was human gamma globulin, which are just pooled antibodies that bind to a lot of different things. The other was the antibody to one of the modern bird flus.) And all of the control-treated mice, whether they got the gamma globulin or the bird-flu antibody, they all died. All of those...
...disable them. Infrared sensors are ineffective at this stage, so recent research has concentrated on an interactive sensor, a stream of highly accelerated uncharged atomic particles that would penetrate an object and ''see'' what is inside. When these neutral particle beams hit a massive object like a warhead, gamma rays are emitted. Decoys, which have very little mass, give off virtually no emissions. ''When you get a signal,'' said SDI's Chief Scientist Gerold Yonas, ''it's the warhead. When you don't, it's a decoy.'' At present the paraphernalia needed to produce these beams is so large that...
...touchy, he's even afraid to have sex with his girlfriend, Betty (Liv Tyler) for fear of turning green, nasty and enormous. This figure has been lurking around the dimmer reaches of popular culture for decades - the sad result of the military-industrial complex screwing around with cell-poisoning gamma radiation, whatever that may be - without attaining more than second-level cult status...
