...electromagnetic fields on electrons. Although it might also be too big to lift into orbit, this laser has a shorter wavelength, which gives it the potential to penetrate the atmosphere from the ground. Whatever ground-based laser weapons are chosen, their beams would have to be bounced off high-tech mirrors that would retarget them from space. Warheads that survive the boost and midcourse onslaughts hurtle toward earth in a ''terminal'' phase, the last 125 miles and the final two minutes of their mission. Back in the atmosphere, space-related problems no longer deter the defender...
...These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every day as the Midnight Sun Express, stopping at Denali in mid-journey. Travelers sip champagne and goggle at moose and caribou while reflecting that a really high- tech society would reinvent the railroad, as an art form if necessary. Tourists can stay outside the park at the comfortable Crow's Nest Cabins on Sugar Loaf Mountain, overlooking Horseshoe Lake ($65 a night), or at any of several campgrounds in the forested foothills of Denali. The Wonder Lake
...earlier, personal solutions to global warming - drive a hybrid, put in better insulation - were far too little, Gore's goal seems far too much. Less than 28% of our power currently comes from carbon-free sources, and the vast majority of that is hydroelectric and nuclear. High-tech renewables account for less than 3%. Wind and solar are growing far faster than fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas, but considering that we don't even know if economical carbon capture and storage will ever be possible, it's hard to see how Gore's target is remotely attainable...
Also, hanging on some FLDS walls is the photograph of Wendell Nielsen, a key Jeffs' ally, an FLDS money man and "a trusted confidante who did a lot more than any of us know," Brower says. Nielsen founded a Las Vegas high-tech machine shop company, NewEra Manufacturing (formerly Western Precision) that counted among its clients the U.S. Department of Defense. Texas Congresswoman Kay Granger has called for an investigation of a $1.2 million aircraft parts contract that Nielson's company signed with the federal government. Despite the image presented by quaintly dressed mothers and bucolic family life, the FLDS...
...message to pilgrims, signing off "BXVI." Young people in turn have been invited to send text messages for display on giant "prayer wall" screens around the city. Event coordinator Bishop Anthony Fisher says planners want to make WYD memorable "by using new ways to connect with today's tech-savvy youth...
