...produce deer embryos in vitro. The technique--incorporating frozen semen and oocytes, or developing egg cells--is expected to be applied later this year to rare and endangered deer species, with more common types acting as surrogate mothers. The French are also talking with colleagues in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan about how they may help rebuild populations of Bactrian (Bukharian) deer in Central Asia. "Basically, we're hoping to give them our recipe," says Mauget...
...enemy's 97, that's only because Moscow lost most of its empire in the last decade. Add only the 17 medals snagged by tiny Belarus or the Ukraine's 23, and the ex-Reds were way out on top. To those add the smaller hauls by Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, and the former Soviet Union took home a staggering 163 medals.

"Using conventional means, it takes about 60 days and costs about $250,000 to haul 140 tons of freight from Germany to Kazakhstan," Von Gablenz says. "With the CargoLifter, the same freight would arrive in three days, and the costs would be about 20% lower"--assuming, of course, that the prototype gets off the ground in 2002. Von Gablenz needs $250 million to build a construction hangar and put a ship...
