Martin Luther King - Biography: "Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15,1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family's long tenure as pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from 1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had been graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955 In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family.

In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorale of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days."

The Affluenza Project: "affluenza is a dysfunctional relationship with money/wealth, or the pursuit of it. Individual and cultural symptoms are: an inability to delay gratification and tolerate frustration; a false sense of entitlement; loss of future motivation; low self-esteem; loss of self-confidence; low self-worth; preoccupation with externals. Sudden wealth syndrome and sudden poverty syndrome are both parts of the greater 'dis-ease' of affluenza."

THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2004: "Using is believing."
Segway
Segway Clone Hits the Streets of Vegas: "The Electric Chariot uses a more conventional rechargeable acid battery which can also be swapped out for a freshly-charged model, Wang said. The two 150-watt motors can power the device approximately 15 miles on a single charge, at a maximum speed of 10 mph. A rider steers the scooter using a conventional pair of handlebars; the scooter includes a horn, headlights, and a thumb throttle. 'Security' is handled via a conventional key. "
Segway Clone Hits the Streets of Vegas: "The device is significantly cheaper, however, between $1,000 and $1,200 for the first 24-volt models, which will be sold to mass merchants, such as tourist-minded rental agencies. Global's factory will ship 1,400 units this Monday to its first customer, Wang said. A more expensive, higher-powered 36-volt model will begin selling in April for between $1,500 and $2,000. Amazon.com's Human Transporter Store sells Segways for $4,495 plus shipping and taxes. "
Segway Clone Hits the Streets of Vegas: "The Rad2Go is not a Segway. It does not contain a gyroscope, and uses four wheels to balance itself. Riders stand upright on the scooter, however, and the profile is much the same as the vaunted 'It' device that captivated the media in the closing months of 2001. "
Review: Athlon 64 3400+: "This relationship between clock rate and real world performance in the Athlon 64 line of CPUs is extremely encouraging. Provided that AMD can continue to make 200MHz jumps in clock rate at a good pace throughout the year, the company and their x86-64 architecture should be in great shape.. While the Athlon 64 FX-51 is still a great performer in some benchmarks, the 3400+ has practically made it obsolete as a mainstream CPU. It will take a boost in clock speed and a transition away from registered RAM to really make the FX series pull ahead. Fortunately, both changes are planned early this year. "
Review: Athlon 64 3400+: "It's hard not to be impressed by this CPU. Despite being 'only a clock frequency boost,' the new Athlon 64 3400+ manages to deliver a very good increase in real world performance. We're used to seeing about a 50-60% relationship between clock speed increases and application performance � that is, a 10% speed bump normally nets you 5% or 6% extra performance, if that. With this CPU, the relationship is closer to 80%, sometimes more. Granted, an 8% performance boost doesn't seem like a lot, but it's more than we've come to expect from CPUs that do nothing but step up the clock rate a tick. "
Newest Trojan: Disguised to Do Damage: "Xombe arrives in an e-mail from the address windowsupdate@microsoft.com with a subject line of 'Windows XP Service Pack 1 (Express)-Critical Update.' The attachment is named 'winxp_sp1.exe.' According to an analysis of the program done by Computer Associates International Inc., the body of the message reads:"
Newest Trojan: Disguised to Do Damage: "Known variously as Xombe and Downloader, the program is attached to an e-mail that purports to come from Microsoft Corp. and supposedly delivers security updates to the user's computer. Experts haven't yet analyzed all of the Trojan's capabilities, but once activated, it downloads another executable file from a remote Web site. This file also appears to be a Trojan, which downloads and installs a third program. The third file can vary in name, but immediately begins requesting pages repeatedly from a Web site with a Russian domain, possibly as a denial-of-service attack. "
Newest Trojan: Disguised to Do Damage: "A new Trojan horse program appeared on the Internet Friday, and security experts are worried that its disguise will help it infect a large number of computers rather quickly. "

Innovative Nuclear Space Power: "Why Nuclear Thermal Propulsion?
Because of its high performance potential, nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) could be utilized for manned missions and cargo transport to the moon or mars, unmanned explorations of the outer planets, and earth orbit transfers of satellites.
Nuclear propulsion can provide a greater specific impulse (Isp) to reduce the time for a manned mission to Mars from 600 days to about 200 days. In reducing this time, nuclear propulsion will reduce the risk to astronauts from cosmic radiation to say nothing of the other health and psychological benefits from shorter mission times."
