   DNR ISSUES CLARIFICATION FOR HUNTERS TRANSPORTING FIREARMS

     SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Dec. 17, 1996 -- Department of Natural Resources Conservation
Police Chief Larry Closson issued the following statement regarding the transportation of
firearms in a vehicle:

     "The laws regarding how individuals with valid Firearm Owners Identification cards
transport firearms have not changed," Closson said. "Firearms that are unloaded and enclosed in
a case meet the exemption for the transportation of firearms allowed under the Criminal Code."

     Closson said the Department periodically receives calls from sportsmen asking how they
can legally transport firearms in a vehicle. The callers are seeking clarification of a 1995 law that
increased the penalty for unlawful use of a weapon from a misdemeanor to a felony. That law did
not change the manner in which firearms must be transported, however, Closson said.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
