THE NEWS in brief
Shuttle crew conducts fluid experiment
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Columbia's chief scientist jiggled cherry-tomatized drops of water yesterday, while the rest of the crew tiptoed around to avoid spoiling the laboratory experiment.
Astronaut Kathryn Thornton used sound waves to bounce one drop at a time inside an enclosed chamber. The levitating drops quivered and at times flipped and spun, based upon the sound volume, and alternated between spheres and ovals.
"It looks beautiful," a ground controller said.
The beauty was short-lived. Within an hour or so, the first drop splattered on the interior wall of the chamber. So it was on to a bigger drop No. 2.
"I'm having a lot of fun doing this," Thornton said on flight day three.
Scientists want to understand better how liquids behave in weightlessness to contribute to medical research on Earth, most notably in developing capsules containing insulin-producing cells for transplantation into diabetes patients.
In another fluid experiment, scientists working by remote control from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., applied electric charges to silicone oil surrounding steel and sapphire hemispheres aboard Columbia. By creating buoyancy forces similar to those on Earth and other planets or stars, researchers hope to learn more about ocean and atmospheric flows.
John Paul II celebrates 17th anniversary as pope
VATICAN CITY — Marking the 17th anniversary of his papacy, Pope John Paul II looked healthy and showed a sense of humor yesterday as he asked for prayers to continue his mission.
The pope ended his customary Sunday public appearance in St. Peter's Square by remembering Oct. 22, 1978, the Sunday on which he was proclaimed bishop of Rome.
capital.
"Ientreat your prayers for the continuation of my ministry," John Paul told the cheering crowd after giving them his blessing.
The parish lacks a church, so Mass usually is celebrated in an apartment building. For the pope's visit, however, an altar was set up in a small outdoor square.
Earlier, the pope met with parishioners in a working-class neighborhood. The pope regularly visits parishes in Rome in his role as bishop of the Italian
The pope joked that his installation as pontiff took place in a much bigger plaza, St. Peter's Square.
After undergoing three operations since 1992, including surgery to remove a bowel tumor, the 75-year-oldope is watched closely for signs of frailty.
Recently he has looked tired or listless, and since having hip replacement surgery following a fall, John Paul sometimes walks cautiously.
Italian doctor slain at Catholic clinic in Somalia
ROME — Gunmen killed an Italian doctor and wounded her colleague yesterday at a Roman Catholic clinic in Somalia, Italian news reports said.
The motive for the attack in Merca, a small port city about 60 miles south of Mogadishu, was not immediately clear.
source by taxing ships and planes.
But an Italian Foreign Ministry official, Vincenzo Pedrone, said the clinic was in a particularly dangerous area. In addition, Somali factions are fighting for control of ports and airports, which they can use as a revenue
Italian officials identified the dead doctor as Graziella Fumagalli, who worked for the Italian religious organization Caritas. They said another Italian, Cristoforo Andreoli, a laboratory biologist, had been wounded in the jaw.
"Our advice to the medical workers was to abandon the post," Pedrone told Italian state television.
The Italian news agency AGI said Andreoli and seven other Italian health workers at the clinic would be flown to Nairobi, Kenya.
