February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

Flu prompts ban on Texas poultry
2004-02-24
By Jim Stafford - Business Writer

There will be no Texas poultry crossing the Red River into Oklahoma in the near future unless they take flight on their own.

No danger for humans

Agriculture officials say the strain of avian influenza detected in a flock of Texas chickens is not harmful to humans. No avian flu has been detected in Oklahoma poultry. U.S. Department of Agriculture officials said safe handling practices of raw poultry, coupled with proper cooking would effectively kill the virus.
Food safety Here are some food safety rules from the "Consumers Guide to Chicken, published by the National Chicken Council and U.S. Poultry and Egg Association:

Poultry should be kept refrigerated until cooking time, or until serving time if using a precooked product. Defrost frozen chicken in the refrigerator, allowing up to nine hours to defrost parts and about 24 hours to defrost a whole 4-pound chicken. Do not let raw poultry juices drip onto other foods in the refrigerator.

A basic food safety rule: Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Most disease-causing bacteria are killed at temperatures above 140 F. Recommended cooking temperatures are high to allow for proper doneness.

Like other raw foods, chicken should be handled with care to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.

Proper washing of hands and utensils is a crucial step in the prevention of food-related illness.

Oklahoma State Veterinarian Dr. Burke Healey on Monday banned the import of all poultry from Texas in the wake of an outbreak of avian influenza in Gonzalez County near San Antonio.

No...just some symbol in the original message that FR cannot diplay...so it puts that character # up there. You never know though if it is just a coincidence. You can view it on Jill's site here:

I was reading somewhere that the damaging EMP from a normal nuclear device would be limmited to a distance of only a few miles from the blast. even 5 miles out you might be ok. What is your take on that?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Canada, that's what I thought. Or attempt to knock out NORAD (doubtful endeavor, I hope).
