Leonard Adle Man raised the exciting possibility of Dan powered supercomputers when he wrote in the journal science that he had solved a computational problem essentially by stirring up some Dan in a test tube using building blocks of Dan As computing symbols. The technique in concept involves the use of Dan a strands of genetic code a As a stand in for computer software code. But last week or. Warren Smith and or. Allan Schweitzer two scientists at the Nix research Institute in Princeton n.j., received what appears to be the first Patent covering a Dan computing process that at least theoretically can solve not just a single problem but a Broad array of problems just Asa conventional desktop computer might. The Patent describes a Way to concoct a vat of Dan molecules that have been manipulated by Standard biotechnology techniques a such As the cutting splicing and growing of Dan strands a to behave like miniature computers. All these molecular size computers would operate in parallel with each one exploring different possible computational paths to solve a problem potentially speeding up computing time greatly.

Drugs banned in the . How Ever the drugs Are either out of production or not used in Canada. In Manitoba agriculture minister Harry Enns said the Cross Border spat will be on the Agenda when the Filmon Cabinet meets this morning in Portage la . A i done to mind. A. State trooper in. South Dakota stopping a trucker to see if he a properly licensed Quot said Enns. A but for them to interfere with Trade its not their but Enns said the province would not engage in any sort of retaliatory action against the states. A that w Ould Only add Oil to the fire a he said. However Enns said he May recommend sending a delegation to meet disgruntled . Officials. Ideally he said the matter should be settled Between Washington and Ottawa. Enns said he believes some . Governors Are simply trying to score Quick political Points with an election on. The horizon. Enns said while All kinds of rules under Naftal Are being broken using the dispute mechanisms is not an option. A that can take Over a year a said Enns.

We will do Manitoba hog and cattle trucks Are devouring through Minnesota to avoid the South Dakota blockade said Perry Mohr Manitoba pork marketing manager. But if Minnesota joins the fray and Montana continues with hostilities some Farmers started monday that could Seal off any route to Export markets in Iowa Mohr said. States such As Idaho Montana and Washington have threatened similar actions As South Dakota but not Minnesota or Iowa. The extra travel around South. Dako to of about 150 Kilometres costs about $1 per hog off the hog Price of $125 per animal Mohr said. A a it a been almost business As usual a except for delays at the North Dakota Border and extra travel costs he said. North Dakota is taking extra time to process Export papers but is still allowing trucks through. Manitoba Farmers shipped about 1,000 hogs last week via the Detour to Iowa packing Plant John Morrell amp co. The irony is that Low a Farmers Are in turn shipping hogs to South Dakota to fill the void left by the absence of Canadian hogs Mohr said. More shipments of Manitoba hogs Are scheduled to leave for Iowa today. Shipments of cattle Are also continuing to Iowa and Nebraska said Wanda Mcfadyen of the Manitoba cattle producers association. Mcfadyen said extra trucking costs through Minnesota Are reaching about $100 per Semi truck Load.

Frank Domareski of base tec construction. Says Lack of rain will dry soil out shrink it and eventually separate it from foundation Walls which then have space to lean Over and shift entire houses by up to eight centimetres a the problem gets worse when you have Large Trees. They suck up whatever moisture is left in. The ground. An Oak tree roots that go Down As deep As the tree is tall. A a you a have to water that Yard like crazy All summer Long to prevent construction experts say there Are to o ways to prevent soil shrinkage and. Foundation shifts sufficient moisture to keep soil packed tightly around foundations or preventive pile support around foundations. Environment Canada analysts say the summer started in late april and Early May for Western Canada even though official records consider Only june july and August As full fledged summer . David Phillips senior meteorologist for environment Canada in Toronto said the first eight months of this year have been the driest and warmest since combined records were started for Southern Central and Northern Canada 51 years ago. A a we re the second largest country in the world and you a expect to have some regions warmer and drier than Ever before a but not All parts of this huge country All at once. Yet that a exactly what happened this year. Quot there a no doubt in my mind something a going on out there that we done to know enough about Winnipeg received 193.4 Millimetres of rain for june through August. That a a Mere 84 per cent of the 231.1 my we normally get during the period but still More than the 76.7 my All time dry record set in 1929. Winnipeg a w Attesi summer was 1993, w Hen the City got 463 my of rain during the three months. As for heat this summer the City almost reached 30 c 28.9 c on june 26.
