"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

Chinese market explosion injures 33
12:05 AEST Wed May 5 2004
AP - An explosion at a market in China's south-west injured 33 people, the government's Xinhua News Agency reported.
Authorities suspected the blast in the city of Guiyang was intentional, the agency said, but a police official reached by telephone declined to speculate on the possible motive.
The blast, at 1pm on Tuesday (1500 AEST) "was caused by a powerful explosion device" placed under a platform in the market, Xinhua said, citing local sources.
The explosion "split many steel bars into pieces," the news agency said.

Thank you for those links, I'll check them out.

Interesting that it was a Singapore Airlines flight...they actually were one of the three that had reported threats (on two different occasions...once was Sing. and two others in Bangkok, but it sounded like the threat was to the offices more than flights; and then at least one other threat to flights within the last 2 months or so).
I know the story says it was a transponder malfunction, just interesting that it's one of the three other airlines (outside of the American ones and BA, Air France and Aero Mexico) that had publicized anything threat related recently.

THE SUN ROTATES
For a long time European philosophers and scientists believed that the earth stood still in the centre of the universe and every other body including the sun moved around it. In the West, this geocentric concept of the universe was prevalent right from the time of Ptolemy in the second century B.C. In 1512, Nicholas Copernicus put forward his Heliocentric Theory of Planetary Motion, which asserted that the sun is motionless at the centre of the solar system with the planets revolving around it.
In 1609, the German scientist Yohannus Keppler published the Astronomia Nova. In this he concluded that not only do the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun, they also rotate upon their axes at irregular speeds. With this knowledge it became possible for European scientists to explain correctly many of the mechanisms of the solar system including the sequence of night and day.
After these discoveries, it was thought that the Sun was stationary and did not rotate about its axis like the Earth. I remember having studied this fallacy from Geography books during my school days. Consider the following Quraanic verse:
It is He Who created The Night and the Day, And the sun and the moon: All (the celestial bodies) Swim along, each in its Rounded course. [Al-Quraan 21:33]
The Arabic word used in the above verse is yasbahn. The word yasbahn is derived from the word sabaha. It carries with it the idea of motion that comes from any moving body. If you use the word for a man on the ground, it would not mean that he is rolling but would mean he is walking or running. If you use the word for a man in water it would not mean that he is floating but would mean that he is swimming.
Similarly, if you use the word yasbah for a celestial body such as the sun it would not mean that it is only flying through space but would mean that it is also rotating as it goes through space. Most of the school textbooks have incorporated the fact that the sun rotates about its axis. The rotation of the sun about its own axis can be proved with the help of an equipment that projects the image of the sun on the table top so that one can examine the image of the sun without being blinded. It is noticed that the sun has spots which complete a circular motion once every 25 days i.e. the sun takes approximately 25 days to rotate around its axis.
In fact, the sun travels through space at roughly 150 miles per second, and takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.
It is not permitted To the Sun to catch up The Moon, nor can The Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along In (its own) orbit (According to Law). [Al-Quraan 36:40]
This verse mentions an essential fact discovered by modern astronomy, i.e. the existence of the individual orbits of the Sun and the Moon, and their journey through space with their own motion. The fixed place towards, which the sun travels, carrying with it the solar system, has been located exactly by modern astronomy. It has been given a name, the Solar Apex. The solar system is indeed moving in space towards a point situated in the constellation of Hercules (alpha Layer) whose exact location is firmly established.
The moon rotates around its axis in the same duration that it takes to revolve around the earth. It takes approximately 29 days to complete one rotation. One cannot help but be amazed at the scientific accuracy of the Quraanic verses. Should we not ponder over the question: What was the source of knowledge contained in the Quraan?
THE SUN WILL EXTINGUISH AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD
The light of the sun is due to a chemical process on its surface that has been taking place continuously for the past five billion years. It will come to an end at some point of time in the future when the sun will be totally extinguished leading to extinction of all life on earth. Regarding the impermanence of the suns existence the Quraan says:
And the Sun Runs its course For a period determined For it; that is The decree of (Him) The exalted in Might, The All-Knowing. [Al-Quraan 36:38]
(** A similar message is conveyed in the Quran in 13:2, 35:13, 39:5 and 39:21.)
The Arabic word used here is mustaqarr, which means a place or time that is determined. Thus the Quraan says that the sun runs towards a determined place, and will do so only up to a pre-determined period of time meaning that it will end or extinguish.

I found it interesting that it just happened to be the signal that says hijack that malfunctioned. Odd?
None of the AF AM or BA have had any problems. BA223 changed their flight number and that was the end of the problem supposedly.

From my understanding and the maps I've seen, the Cerritos one has been on the east side of 15 at that point. I may be wrong, but that's what I recall seeing.
Looking at the log now, it appears that it's getting close to 215 and 74 now (meaning it would have burned through that triangle type area from the El Cerrito/Lake Elsinore stretch across to near Perris in the middle there with the 'v' part of the triangle pointing down torwards Temecula where 15/215 cross fruther south).
Not sure if I'm going to have this linked right (I hope...) but if you look at this map (that should be the Lake Elsinore area zoomed out right beyond the 'city' level you can see the triangle type area I was trying to describe above. From what I know of the area and what I've read or heard on the news (and from our great source here!) it's that light brown area to the east of 15 that's burned (don't know the whole extent, but that that was where it was generally).
http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?csz=Lake+Elsinore%2C+CA&state=CA&uzip=92530&ds=n&name=&desc=&ed=IGNf.Op_0TqZdZTginHBkAGnV33xHrt4VGXiOknLkS5e4DDTTMUekcPslx4p5cFicIPgJmS78cLIbQuim0w_txg.FrHW&zoomin=yes&BFKey=&resize=s&mag=6 For those who don't know the area, on that same page, the bottom right of the square near 79 (east of Temecula) is where the Eagle fire is.
Now after all that, hopefully the link went to the map in the right place.
