Shuttle launch delayed again after fuel leaks found on ship
NASA scrubbed the launch of space shuttle Columbia yesterday after discovering a leak as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen were being pumped into the fuel tank.
The decision was made after unacceptably high concentrations of hydrogen were found in the shuttle's aft compartment, said space agency spokesperson Lisa Malone.
The launch crew immediately began trying to isolate the leak. No new launch data was set.
The shuttle's launch was scrubbed in May because of a hydrogen leak and again last week because of communication problems with one of the shuttle's instruments.

It rattled nerves in Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's narrow-based coalition Cabinet and renewed tension between Israel's two main communities - Sephardic Jews from Africa and the Middle East and Ashkanazim of European origin.

A recorder was found on a motorcycle outside Gilat's home, with wires running through his phone.
Koreas in meetings
The Associated Press
South Korean Prime Minister Kang Young-hoon initially made the offer yesterday at the first talks ever between prime ministers of the hostile nations, but the proposal was not acted upon.
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea today proposed that the two Koreas officially recognize each other's governments, but the communist North was not likely to accept.
Their final closed-door session started today with the seven official delegates of both sides sitting across from one another at a conference table in a hotel ballroom.
North Korea has steadfastly refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Seoul government, maintaining that such a policy would perpetuate the division of the peninsula, split in 1945.
South Korea thinks mutual recognition would be practical and would allow both nations to coexist until unification of the peninsula could be achieved.
Moreover, the South says the North has given tacit recognition by agreeing to hold the historic talks, the highest-level contact ever held between the nations.
South Korean spokesperson Kim Hyung-ki said in a briefing that mutual recognition is "necessary
He also said that 10 North Koreans, including Prime Minister Yon Hyong Muk, would visit South Korean President Roh Tae-woo later today at the presidential mansion.

During yesterday's meeting, about 1,000 radical students marched through Seoul, shouting anti U.S., anti-government slogans and hurling rocks and firebombs at riot police.
During yesterday's meeting, North Korea demanded that South Korea release jailed dissidents and stop joint military exercises with the United States. The North also demanded that North Korea enter to enter the United Nations separately, saying that to do so would perpetuate national division

By Jamie Elliott Kansan staff writer
Things are quieting down in West port.
A popular Kansas City, Mo. bar scene, the area had problems last summer with rowy, out of control shooting in the metro police, the situation is changing.

"People have been a lot more laid back," Patrol Motpil Sgt. James Leach said "People do tend to let them grow up." A man, though, in a party atmosphere.

There has not been any noticeable change in the composition of the crowds, he said, which remain about 50 percent college students
Aaron Quisenberry, Dodge City senior, said he visited Westport for a change of pace.
Mike Collins, Little Rock, Ark. senior, agreed.
"Things get old here," Quisenberry said. "Westport is like a bigger Aggieville (in Manhattan). The bars are closer together. Lawrence bars are all spread out, and you have to be careful. Westport is a whole new scene."
"You see new people, and there are different things to do," Collins said. "It's a little more expensive, but a lot more fun."
Leach said that one bar had closed this year and another had changed its concept, now drawing a more passive crowd.
The bars themselves also are playing a big part in keeping the situation under control, he said.
"Most bars have new bouncers who are better trained and qualified," Leach said. "They handle a lot of people, but they are not served. The bars have also taken a better outlook and stopped serving over-intoxicated patrons.
Mike Mitchell, a bartender at Kelly's Westport Inn, said doornem and a tough carding policy helped them keen things running smoothly.
"Another thing the bars have become very good at is recognizing fake IDs."
"We don't encounter a lot of problems. There are fights sometimes,
"Common sense things you would do anywhere need to be practiced down there especially."
"Don't leave a purse or a radar detector on the dashboard," he said. "Lock the car and put valuables in the trunk if you have to park away from a lighted area because of birds, have your friends walk with you."
but it just comes and goes." Mitchell said. "We card hard every night, and we have very experienced doormen. And people who come up to the bar are usually designated by designated drivers to get drink any non-alcoholic beverage for free."
Leach also said that a new lighting system similar to the one downtown was being installed in Westport.
While general rowdiness may be on the decline in Westport, Leach said
"It won't completely alleviate problems, but it sure will help," he said.
his department had noticed a rise in auto break-ins and stolen cars.
