LONDON - A bomb planted in a Russian apartment block a week after explosions killed more than 200 people in Moscow was defused after police detained Russian secret service agents who had planted the device, a bomb squad officer said. The claims by Yuri Tkachenko throw doubt on Moscow's insistence that Chechen terror- ists were responsible for the bombings of two apartment blocks in Moscow in September last year.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) - A bishop has changed his mind and granted a dispensation to Catholics to eat meat St. Patrick's Day, a Friday during Lent when Catholics are normally encouraged to abstain from eating meat.

New let's see some genuflection in the direction of www.memepool.com/Subject/Religion/ : Does your belief system have complex rules of behaviour that are applied strictly but arbitrarily? Are your members easiest to control if you keep changing the application of the rules, leaving them confused and despairing? # Sweat Lodge Request Denied: prisoner to be executed without last worship, see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564949034-e57 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # NASA-NOT.

TIFTON, Ga. (AP) A scientist thinks he has the solution, using harmless flies, to a growing crisis: how to dispose of excess manure at hog & poultry farms. Black soldier flies can consume tons of manure and then - talk about a simplified food chain - be turned into food for pigs, chickens, cows. "It's like getting something for nothing." Yummy. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564937455-78f @ Got Beer? http://www.milksucks.com/beersurvey.html # Animal-rights group's ad draws fire - PETA: Drink Beer, Not Milk: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564941889-c83 # Death penalty for drunk drivers? www.news-record.com/news/local/dwi12.htm @ SELF-HELP ACTIONS YOU CAN TRY: http://www.storm.ca/~mcpoirier/actions.htm : Have you recycled any shit lately?

We Still Have A Long Way To "Go." -- If you were impressed with Deep Blue's 1997 triumph over chess master Garry Kasparov, wait 'til you see the computer that can hold its own with the best players of Go, the ancient Asian game that is astronomically more complex than chess.
