On a November 07:
2001 Sixty-two names are added to the list of persons and entities individually designated in the annex to USurper President “Dubya” Bush's 23 September 2001 Executive Order 13224 blocking property and prohibiting transactions with persons who (according to his regime) commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism. 2001 In Boston, a scientific team from Ohio State University presents to the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Boston its finding of a remarkably well preserved fossil of an Arthropleura Pustulatus, a 9-cm-long cockroach that lived 300 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs. [So the dinosaurs were infested with cockroaches. Does that explain the extinction of the dinosaurs?] 2001 The first regular flight of the Concorde after the only Concorde crash (25 July 2000) is an Air France flight with 92 passengers which leaves Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport at 10:30 and arrives in New York at John F. Kennedy International Airport 3h55m later at 08:25. The flight is scheduled every day of the week except Tuesdays and Saturdays. On departure from New York to Paris, the Air France Concorde will take off at 08:00, arriving at Paris-CDG at 17:45. The round-trip ticket costs $7300. The Concorde flies at 18'000 meters altitude. The 12 Concordes have been fitted with fuel-tank liners of bulletproof Kevlar, a reinforced undercarriage and stronger tires. British Airways owns half of them and will resume its regular flights on 09 November 2001. 2001 Some 710'000 students in South Korea take the College Scholastic Ability Test required for entrance to college in 2002. The test is attacked as too difficult (no student gets a perfect score) while the previous year's test had been attacked as too easy (66 students got a perfect score). |
2001 Earth to be hit by asteroid? A long shot.
A team of astronomers at Princeton University reports that we are much less likely to get wiped out by a big asteroid than previously thought. The odds are only about 1 in 5000 that an asteroid big enough to wipe out civilization will hit the Earth in the next 100 years far lower than previous estimates of 1 in 1500. Research on asteroids that have hit the Earth shows that a collision with a large asteroid 1 km in diameter could kill a quarter of the world's population, and that such asteroids strike the planet every 100 million years or so. Several teams of astronomers are taking part in the Sloan survey, which is mapping one-quarter of the sky using the telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. Its main purpose is to look at objects outside Earth's galaxy, but it is also cataloging smaller and closer objects such as asteroids. Ivezic writes in the November 2001 issue of The Astronomical Journal, that they were able to assess more accurately the size of known asteroids. Asteroids with a surface of carbon are dark, while rocky asteroids are much brighter and thus seem larger. You don't know precisely the size of an object you are looking at unless you know of what type it is. The Sloan survey looks at the color of objects, so astronomers can distinguish between carbon and rock. They looked at 10'000 asteroids. The Princeton team extrapolated, estimating that the asteroid belt contains about 700'000 asteroids bigger than 1 kilometer in diameter about one-third the number in earlier estimates. That in turn suggested that there was a 1-in-1500 chance one would hit Earth in the next 100 years.. |
2000 Presidential and other elections
in the US. The presidential election that would result in indecision for George W. Bush and Al Gore, with Florida's disputed electoral votes emerging as critical. Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first first lady to win public office, defeating Republican Rick Lazio for a US Senate seat from New York. Most presidential candidates were ignored by the news media. Of over 100 presidential candidates, voters have heard mostly from Al Gore (Democrat) and George W. Bush (Republican), and just a little about Ralph Nader (Green) and Buchanan (Reform), and perhaps something about the Libertarian candidate, but nothing at all about all the others. On the Texas ballot, the following candidates are listed for President and Vice-President:: George W. Bush Dick Cheney (Republican) (#1) Al Gore Joe Lieberman (Democrat) (#2) Harry Browne Art Olivier (listed as Independent, but Libertarian) (#5) Ralph Nader Winona La Duke (Green) (#3) Pat Buchanan Ezola Foster (listed as Independent, but Reform) (#4) The following three pairs of candidates (for President Vice-President) are posted in Texas voting sites as "Official State Write-In Candidates" (no indication of party): David McReynolds Mary Cal Hollis (#8) Howard Phillips J. Curtis Frazier (#7) James "Jim" Wright (#82) Leonard L. Foster There are seven other pairs on the ballot in some other states, though not in Texas, the state which requires the greatest number of signatures on a petition to put a presidential candidate on the ballot. Few of the other hundred or more candidates for president have a valid political contribution to make. There are mostly motivated by mental illness, the seeking of publicity for profit (seems futile), or are humorists. Here is a probably incomplete list from http://www.politics1.com/p2000.htm [much of it is also the even more (MUCH more: it list also candidates in primary elections) comprehensive http://www.vote-smart.org/index.phtml
