Galileo:
Information from discovery could be of use for future civilizations
Continued from Page 1A.
"We finished pumping data out at 2 in the afternoon, and Armstrong was on the plane at 3 p.m." Stone said.
Armstrong has contributed to several of NASA's unmanned interplanetary missions including Voyager, Ulysses and Cassini, which is scheduled arrive at Saturn in 2004.
Both Brull and Stone said that it was exciting being part of a NASA project.
Armstrong said he didn't think anything would come immediately of the discovery, but it would produce new information for future civilizations.
It's always been my dream to do something with NASA. "Stone said. 'You know, you sit in the classroom, and you study physics, and you learn how to solve problems and what people have done in the past. But when you see real science being done — I can't describe it as anything else but a runner's high. It's why you do what you do."
"We live in the 20th century on the discoveries made in the 19th century," Armstrong said. "When electricity was discovered, it was thought to be this odd thing of little use. There will be applications, but I'm not wise enough to see them. If I were, I could make a tremendous fortune."

Med Center faces lawsuit
The University of Kansas Medical Center has been sued by a former employee for $15 million after he was not given medical attention for 12 hours.
By Gwen Olson Kansan staff writer
William F. Ross, former shift manager for the Med Center, alleged that disability discrimination by the Med Center caused serious damage to his health.
The suit accuses Ross' supervisor, Leon George, and the Med Center of violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act including negligence, age discrimination and retaliation for previous complaints filed and won by Ross.
Ross, a diabetic, was at work on Sept. 18,
1995 when he began to feel ill.
Christopher R. Williams, Ross' attorney, said Ross asked George if he could go home but was told to wait in his office and not to leave. While waiting, Ross slipped into a diabetic coma and was untreated for 12 hours, which
caused serious damage to his already deteriorating health.
Williams said because of the delay of treatment there was serious damage to Ross' thyroid and kidneys and has shortened his life expectancy.
In response to the lawsuit, George has denied most of the allegations. He did admit that he had knowledge of Ross' medical condition.
Ross filed two complaints against the Med Center prior to this incident for discrimination and retaliation charges and was successful in both cases.
George claims that he acted "in good faith towards the plaintiff" and did not discriminate against Ross because of age, medical condition or any other reason.
George challenged Ross' claim for disability status in his answer to the charges and stated that Ross voluntarily chose to retire from his position at the Med Center and did not lose his job because of retaliation.

CORRECTION
An article published on page 2A in the July 10 edition of the Kansan contained several inaccuracies. Jonathan Brewer's business is Virtual Lawrence. Brewer started his business after an independent, not required, research project. Brewer charges between $25 to $50 an hour for network consultation. The business costs $1,000 a month to maintain and has operated for less than a year. Virtual Lawrence hosts KU Bookstores' web site, which already has an on-line textbook pre-order form. Lawrence Cybervillage doesn't provide advertising, nor does it market downtown Lawrence businesses. The Internet address for Waxman Candles is http://www.waxmandcandles.com.
