GPS Satellite System Close To Breakdown

“The U.S. government has warned that the worldwide network of satellites that make up the Global Positioning System (GPS) could fail by 2010 – affecting millions of people around the globe. Many are already dependent on the satellite navigation network that beams precise directions from A to B directly into users’ cars or on their mobile phones. But mismanagement and a lack of investment means the 20-year-old system could lead consumers into nothing but trouble. The first replacement satellite was supposed to be launched into space in 2007 – but won’t be ready until November of this year, nearly three years too late. And it is unclear whether the satellites currently in orbit will be able to keep the system running smoothly in time for their replacements to arrive.” w/ photos

Lawnmower Vs. Frog

“A green tree frog has been given a second chance after it underwent life-saving emergency surgery when it was run over by a lawnmower in a Territory backyard. Ark Animal Hospital vet Stephen Cutter said the blades of the mower sliced the skin off the frog’s back. He said she would have died if she was not brought in to the veterinary clinic. “It was a pretty horrific injury,” he said. “It basically took the top layer of the skin off and did some internal injuries.” “But from day one she fought to live. It’s very lucky to be alive.” w/ photos

Bird Vs. Plane: The Grisly Showdown

“As pilot Hannes Arch moved into second position in an exciting air race, he had no choice but to try a risky overtake of his nearest competitor. Sadly the pelican came off a distinct second best, with his leisurely flight brought to an abrupt end by the sound of roaring propellers and a quick finish. The grisly moment was captured during the last round of the Red Bull air race in San Diego yesterday. The pilot and the pelican both wanted to occupy the same air space, rounding the top of one of the pylons marking out the above-ground track. The poor creature was quickly torn to pieces by the collision, and Pilot Arch was also left feeling only slightly less shattered by the incident, which in many instances can bring down an aircraft. The pilot didn’t alter his course and continued to the finish line – although he lost his gold medal and came in third, blaming the loss on the bird strike. His plane was left with with a blood-covered hole on the right side of his plane’s tail.” w/ photos

Lady Claims Father Was Infamous Zodiac Killer

“San Francisco police were looking into a woman’s claim Wednesday that her late father was the infamous Zodiac killer who terrorized the Bay Area in the 1960s and 1970s. Homicide investigators were checking information provided by 47-year-old Deborah Perez, who said that as a young girl she helped her father write and mail some of the letters that earned him the sensational nickname, SFPD Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said. Perez of Corona, in Southern California, told reporters that she was seven years old and tagged along with her father, Guy Ward Hendrickson, when he killed two of the known victims nearly 40 years ago — Darlene Ferrin in Vallejo and Paul Stine in San Francisco. Hendrickson, a carpenter and father of six kids, died in 1983 from cancer, and Perez said she could not keep her father’s secrets any longer.” w/ video
