Studies of core samples from trees back up earlier research that shows increased levels of the metal tungsten in residents of this rural community who are searching for a cause of a leukemia cluster here.
Similar results have been found in Sierra Vista, Ariz., a comparable, rural desert town that also has a leukemia cluster and, like Fallon, a nearby military base.
If this IS what caused the "cluster", what can be done to prevent it in the future?

Authorities in Southern California issued an ?Amber alert? early Wednesday after a 9-year-old boy was reported abducted from his Palm Desert home by two armed intruders.
The sheriff?s department described the missing boy as 4 feet, 5 inches tall, about 55 pounds, with brown hair with blond highlights. He was wearing only underwear when he was abducted.
UPDATE: [12:00pm] One of the kidnappers was described as between 20 and 30 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, 175 pounds, with dark, slicked-back hair and a goatee. He was wearing dark clothing and carrying a black backpack.
The second man, who was wearing the nylon over his face, was said to be 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing 250 pounds. He was wearing dark sweat pants.
Kondo said the case did not yet merit an Amber alert because authorities did not have specific information such as the vehicle?s license number.
UPDATE: [5:30pm (8/29)] Authorities were looking for Farber's ex-wife, Debra Rose, 38, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and her former roommate, Carla Bender. Officials, however, have stopped short of calling them suspects.
The gray 2002 GMC extended-cab pickup with Colorado paper license plates with the number H12197 was not placed at the kidnap scene and could be anywhere in the West, said FBI Special Agent Richard Garcia.
I will post more information as soon as I get it.

So far on this trip:
Monday: Checked out our server that died two weeks ago. One the hard drives was toast. I installed a version control server, then reinstalled it. Then, just because I had nothing else to do, I reinstalled it… again…
Tuesday: Went to a customer site for final delivery of equipment and install of customized server solution. yawn. They still didn't have their firewall opened up right. Nothing else I could do. Got back to the office and installed the new hard drive and got the OS and our customized software installed. WOOHOO.
Next on my agenda, sleep. Quick Note: I am tired.

Get a load of the moron landlord who decided she was an unpaid creditor, since her tenant DIED in the WTC attack, and threatened to take the former tenant's family to court. WHAT A MORON!
Danielle Kousoulis, 29, worked on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower as a vice president for Cantor Fitzgerald. She signed a lease on a $2,500-a-month loft apartment 10 days before a hijacked plane crashed into her workplace.
The New York Daily News reported that one of the complaints against the dead woman was that she failed to give three-months notice that she was leaving.
If that wasn't enough…
Neighbors and a doorman said Lyman and her teenage daughter moved into the apartment in the Packard Condominium building.
Under New York state common law, a lease does not automatically end when a tenant dies ? both parties must agree to surrender it. But New York City attorneys and property managers said a landlord moving into an apartment is evidence of a surrender.
Some people are just plain idiots.
