Tenet and Oil:
"On 27 March, CIA director, George Tenet, visited Georgia and held talks
with President Eduard Shevardnadze, one day after Russia elected former KGB
officer, Vladimir Putin, as its next president. On 28 March, Tenet held
talks in Kazakhstan with President Nursultan Nazarbayev. The next day,
Tenet was in Uzbekistan to talk with local leaders. His trip will be
followed by an official visit by Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, to
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan on 14 to 20 April. Louis Freeh, head
of the FBI, was also due to visit Kazakhstan on 7 and 8 April. Perhaps it
was a coincidence that Tenet arrived in Central Asia the day Transneft Vice
President, Sergei Grigoriev, announced that construction of the 315-
kilometer alternative section of the Baku-Tikhoretsk- Novorossiisk oil
pipeline that bypasses Chechnya was completed. Work on that project got
under way last fall. Grigoriev said the pipeline is currently being tested
and oil will be pumped into it this month.

OneFatBitchypoo - the journal:
"It was an interesting show, but it was funny the way every time (or so it seemed) Dr. Phil or another guest said the name of his book, a shot of the cover of the book flashed on the screen. I bet you could make a pretty good drinking game by downing a shot every time the cover of the book was shown. Heh."

The Observer | International | Exposed: conman's role in prayer-power IVF 'miracle':
"It was a miracle that created headlines around the world. Doctors at one of the world's top medical schools claimed to have scientifically proved the power of prayer.
"Many Americans took the Columbia University research - announced in October 2001 after the terror attacks on New York and Washington - as a sign from God. It seemed to prove that praying helped infertile women to conceive.
"But The Observer can reveal a story of fraud and cover-up behind the research. One of the study's authors is a conman obsessed with the paranormal who has admitted to a multi-million-dollar scam. Daniel Wirth, now under house arrest in California awaiting sentencing, has used a series of false identities for several decades, including that of a dead child.
"Wirth is at the centre of a network of bizarre scientific research, often working with co-researcher Joseph Horvath. Horvath has pleaded guilty to fraud, has used a series of false names and is accused of burning down his house for insurance money. "

Waycross, Georgia:
"Somewhere along the Alabama-Georgia state line, a petrified coon hound was discovered wedged in a tree. Probably, he had chased some southern cuisine to its nest - possum, squirrel, cat, woodchuck - and became stuck in the tree's hollowed trunk.
"In a rare display of nature's work, he was quickly petrified into stony dog. He, and the tree, once discovered, were hauled off to Waycross, Georgia, to go on exhibit at the local museum. The town voted and gave him a name, 'Stuckie', and the name stuck."
