...both blankets from each of the two beds on top of my hostel sheets, bring two candles next to the bed and read a chapter in Kangaroo, D.H. Lawrence’s Australian novel—my half-assed attempt at cultural immersion. Thankfully, a three-hour fire does heat up a small room quite a bit, so my sleep is just shy of miserable for the first half hour...
...Digging will be confined this year to Riversleigh's fringes, for money's tight and the team lacks a helicopter, essential for reaching the more inaccessible sites and for removing tons of promising rock. Archer first talks safety. There are the region's venomous snakes to consider. And the heat. The scientists rise at first light in woollies and beanies, but soon the temperature is climbing toward 30˚C. Archer decides that for a few days at least the team will work at the 20-year-old site known as White Hunter, which is about the size...
...Baptist pastors has gathered for the first annual general meeting of the Malarrpa Ministries, an evangelical outreach that services the Aboriginal communities of Laverton, 400 km north of here, and Coonanna, 180 km east, and the town of Norseman, 190 km to the south.

Here Anglican reverend Doug Murray recently returned from one of his regular 2,000-km runs to the South Australian border and back, ministering to roadhouses and sheep stations. "They're nearly...
...enough to vaporize the metal until what's left - as massive as a battleship and some 50m across - drives itself at more than 20,000 km an hour into the desert floor. At the point of impact, monstrous kinetic energy is converted almost instantly into heat, turning the meteorite into a spray of molten metal, pulverizing the ground beneath, fusing sandstone into glass. A crater nearly a kilometer in diameter and 150m deep, its sides molded from softened rock, cools in the flat, hitherto featureless, landscape...
...Mart). That beats Equal and Sweet'n Low, according to market researcher Information Resources. In a deal with Tate, McNeil Nutritionals, a Johnson & Johnson division, is rolling out a sugar-Splenda blend for baking in August. Splenda, already used in thousands of manufactured foods (one appeal: it withstands heat better than alternatives do), is also going into new mid-calorie sodas from Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Earlier this year, Splenda was okayed for sale in the European Union. Tate is spending $30 million to expand its sole Splenda plant, in Alabama. The potential catch: many Splenda users are converting from...
