1993 Tecate/SCORE Baja 1000 The Ironman Strikes Again!

                      1993 Tecate/SCORE Baja 1000

                      The Ironman Strikes Again!


MEXICALI, Mexico -- Ivan Stewart of Alpine, Calif., climaxed his best

season ever in off-road racing Friday night in the midst of a mob of

15,000 cheering Mexican fans as overall winner of the Tecate SCORE Baja

1000.


Stewart not only was declared overall 4-wheel champion in his Toyota

Special, he also beat all the motorcycle competitors as well with an

elapsed time of 13 hours 29 minutes 11 seconds for an average speed of

56.531 mph.


The motorcycle champion Kawasaki team of Danny Hamel, Boulder City,

Nev., Larry Roeseler and Ty Davis, Hesperia, Calif., was timed in

13:57:23, averaging 54.627 mph.


The huge crowds were as much of a story as the difficulty of the

762.4-mile course, which prevented all by 24 percent (70) of the 250

entrants from finishing.  Tough terrain was complicated by sporadic

downpours that turned high speed stretches like Diablo Dry Lake into

skating rinks.  Police estimated that mroe than 400,000 persons saw some

parts of the race.


Bob Gordon, Orange, Calif., and Frank Arciero Jr., Laguna Hills, Calif.,

finished second to Stewart mor than an hour behind.


Undecided class championships were wrapped up byt third-place-finishing

Rob MacCachren, class 8 trucks; Dan Smith and Dave Ashley, 4-wheel drive

classes.

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. ...
