Unarmed missiles fired in Iran- In the start of a ten day stint, Iran's Revolutionary Guards fired missiles which were able to carry cluster warheads.  These actions will be carried on until November 11.
     These military maneuvers will include drills in the Gulf and as well as in the Sea of Oman, and they are supposed to show "defensive strength." There has been a lot of tension between Iran and its surrounding western powers, while they try to agree on a U.N. sanctions resolution so Iran will cut back on their atomic work.  The U.N. feels as if the work that they are doing are directed towards making bombs.  Iran claims that it is for peaceful purposes.
     The missiles that were fired consisted of Shahab 2 and 3 missiles.  The missiles could fire anywhere from 300 to 2,000 kilometers.  These missiles have the power to carry cluster warheads which can be dangerous.   
 

 John Kerry recently gave a speech- to a group of college students in Pasadena, California.  In an attempt to make a joke about President Bush, Kerry with a slip of the tongue ended up causing quite a stir.  Kerry said to the students, "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." 
      People were astonished by the remark. 
     What Kerry meant to say was, "Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."
     The botched joke ended up offending Kerry's audience and the press who witnessed the mistake. 
     Kerry gave a speech Wednesday apologizing for the joke, "I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
    Teleportation
        Until now scientists have teleported similar objects such as light or
    single atoms over short distances from one spot to another in a split
    second.
        But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Niels Bohr Institute
    at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by
    using both light and matter.
        The experiment involved for the first time a macroscopic atomic
    object containing thousands of billions of atoms. They also teleported
    the information a distance of half a meter but believe it can be
    extended further.
        "Teleportation between two single atoms had been done two years
    ago by two teams, but this was done at a distance of a fraction of a
    millimeter," Polzik, of the Danish National Research Foundation Center
    for Quantum Optics, explained.
        "Our method allows teleportation to be taken over longer distances
    because it involves light as the carrier of entanglement," he added.
        Quantum entanglement involves entwining two or more particles
    without physical contact.
