Though he stands at 6'7, Clemente is as lethal on the perimeter as in the paint. Clemente's versatility is a dangerous offensive weapon, and other schools have taken notice of the threat that the multifaceted Clemente poses. "People will be grabbing my shirt and [playing rough]," said Clemente. "My teammates have been saying that they've got to get some shots so that I can get open...
Scientists have found a type of bacterium that is virtually indestructible. It's called Deinococcus radiodurans ("terrible berry that survives radiation"). This bug can live in a blast of gamma rays that is the equivalent of thousands of lethal human doses--radiation so strong it cracks glass. Scientists have found "dead" radiodurans spores in Antarctica that have baked in UV light for 100 years. Yet when placed in a nutrient bath, the bug's DNA reassembles itself and proliferates. If radiodurans genes could be put into anthrax, they might produce an anthrax that's virtually impossible to kill. From...

In Africa nearly a dozen countries have a rate higher than 10%, including four southern nations in which a quarter of the people are infected. And the situation continues...

...trouble making deals, because he had not sold the movie rights for MICHAEL CRICHTON'S new novel, Timeline, due out next month. Ovitz put such talk to rest last week when Paramount signed on for the film. It will be directed by a big name to boot: RICHARD DONNER (Lethal Weapons 1, 2, 3 and 4). Folks at Paramount weren't talking, but the film, which is said to be a Jurassic Park-esque tale of time travel and technological marvels, is slated for release in summer...
