"I would certainly think that [tunneling] would be the preferred way to go for drug smugglers," says Neil Anderson, Professor, Geological Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology Rolla, who has worked on the issue for the military...
Some campers roast marshmallows. Others detonate chickens. At the explosives camp run by Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Mo., 60 high school students, some from as far away as Hawaii, come to learn about explosives engineering. To warn kids about improperly handling detonators, the one-week sessions begin by setting off a blasting cap tucked inside a defrosted chicken--talk about a powerful demonstration--and end with a student-produced pyrotechnics show that rivals any city's Fourth of July offering. In between: trips to quarries and mines to witness blasts and the chance to blow...
...student newspaper of the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) threatened last week to sue the school and the entire University of Missouri system if more than $10,000 cut from the paper’s 2007–2008 budget was not restored by a deadline set by the paper’s editors.

"It's what Mel would have wanted me to do," she told a crowd gathered in Rolla, Mo. Is it what she wants to do? Perhaps. Mrs. Carnahan was apparently moved by Cokie Roberts' encouragement, who recounted her own mother's ascent to politics after her father, Louisiana representative Hale Boggs, disappeared in a plane over Alaska. The campaign, Roberts told Carnahan, helped her mother overcome her grief. And it's quite possible that simple self-preservation has been...
