GUST - Global Underwater Search Team: "Is Nessie a monster hagfish?

Nessie fans would hate it. Businessmen in Scotland would boycott it. And local researchers wouldn�t embrace it either. But the question needs to be asked: Is Nessie a hagfish? Divers who met the monster up close say�s they�ve never seen such a grotesque animal before and the hagfishes strange behavior could explain why nothing is found, when Loch Ness are searched with the most advanced technology in the world.

The hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) looks like a giant slimy worm and can be up to 80 cm long. There are about 20 species of hagfishes in the world, all living in the sea.

Hagfish dig tunnels on the bottom, which they escape into when they are in danger. Every hagfish has its own hole which can be found very fast, even if they�re miles away."

'If these numbers are accurate, they show that the systems we put in place four months ago to develop a police force based on the principles of a free and democratic society are starting to

The Jodie Lane Project Responds to City Council Testimony

The Jodie Lane Project : New York, NY -- February 12, 2004. The City Council Transportation Committee held a hearing today to investigate the causes of Jodie S. Lane’s tragic electrocution death on January 16th. The testimony revealed a startling lack of oversight on the part of the Public Services Commission, charged with overseeing Con Edison’s compliance with the National Electric Safety Code, last revised in 1913. With only 5 inspectors at their disposal, the Public Services Commission relies entirely on Con Edison to report safety problems. Because Con Edison only reports incidents resulting in injury or death, the PSC was aware of only 15 shock incidents in the last 5 years. Con Edison has acknowledged that it actually received 539 reports of shock incidents in the same period, effectively admitting to misleading the PSC by an order of magnitude. It is not only this discrepancy that is alarming, but also the fact that the Public Services Commission, charged with ensuring
