Internet myth or threat in the Terminator era
LYNN BRISENDINE argues the internet is not a thinking organism but a vast information network. He notes NORAD’s mountain bunker once symbolized safe retaliation, yet the net remains a tool for storing and retrieving data. Some specialists monitor web moods, but self-awareness remains unlikely.

Cotton cropland faces drought and costly pumping in Terry County
Extension agent Chris Bishop described 2006 as hot and dry with peanut fields showing little disease but pod rot from overwatering. Circling irrigation pumps have kept water in circles, increasing costs and delaying well shutoffs. Projections foresee a two million bale drop in local cotton yields and many growers likely breaking even or losing money, though some gins may still operate to process limited bales. Weather Page 2.
