Mir Space station Y2K compliant

MOSCOW A Russian space official said that the 13- year-old Mir orbital station would not suffer any computer failures from the Y2K bug, ITAR- Tass news agency reported Monday. The sta­ tion has been slated to be discarded and pitched into the Pacific Ocean sometime next year, after its last full-time crew abandons the 140-ton craft in August. Even in normal years, the station has suffered serious accidents, including a fire, a collision and a malfunction that sent it spinning. But the year 2000 com­ puter glitch will not bring it down early, Russian Space Agency spokesman Sergei Gorbunov said. He said mission control engi­ neers, known for their ability to keep the ship aloft through catastrophes, were not expecting any millennial malfunctions, which have been anticipated in computers that mistake the year I MOP . 2000 for 1900. m i o m n t r t

The pamphlet was, as Vinck alleges, entitled “Together We Can Change the World,” an obvious proposal that the aforementioned social injustices true human rights endemic to our society must be addressed.

Just a typical game for the 1999 Lighting Irish football team. Notre Damn headed to the kick-off at Stanford short numerous players, then gave Stanford the early 17-0 advantage by turning the ball over and allowing big plays by the opposition. The Irish then staged a major come­ back, leaving the victory hanging in the balance until a last-second field goal by the Cardinal dropped the Irish to 5-7, on the losing end of another close game. “To be down 17-nothing and come back, I think, shows a tremendous amount of character,” head coach Bob Davie said. “T hat’s the character that I “ve seen all year long from this football team. “The other thing I’ve seen all year is that when you turn the football over,” Davie added, “When you can’t cover, when you give up big passes and you self-destruct a little bit with penalties, it doesn’t matter how much effort you give, you can’t win, you can ’t win.” Stanford blew the contest wide open in the first two minutes of the first quarter. It scored on the second play of the game with a 62-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Todd Husak to receiver Troy Walters, followed by a 37-yard fumble recovery for a touch­ down by Aaron Focht. The Irish used a depleted roster against the Cardinal. Defensive end (Irani Irons, tailback Terrance Howard, left tackle Jordan Black, right tackle John Teasdale and left guard Jim Jones were among the players out with injuries. Tailback Tony Driver and cornerback Brock Williams were suspended for the season. Senior flanker Raki Nelson, listed in the starting lineup, also failed to make an appearance in the game. “We came out to this football game, we had nine starters not even on this trip," Davie said.

Each Advent we invite Jesus to come again into our hearts and into our world. O come, o come, Emmanuel, God with us... Let us not be too busy to welcom e Him!

Did you ever once wish, maybe as a child, that you could have been there in Bethlehem that night? To welcome Mary and Joseph out of the cold? To adore the newborn King with shepherds and magi?

YOU CAN ADORE THE INFANT JESUS! In Eucharistic Adoration, Jesus is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the consecrated Host ex­ posed on the altar. He is present just as He was that night in Bethlehem, only now in even more humble form.

JESUS WAITS FOR YOU. Come and kneel before Him, and spend half an hour with God, who became Man to die for you, and who became Bread to give you life. What an incredible gift, a life filled with the love and Spirit of God himself! During this season of Advent, let us thank the Lord for life, and pray that all life might be cherished and protected. We invite you to pray with us, that all hearts may be transformed. JOIN YOUR DORM IN K NIGHT WITH THE As a special preparation for Christmas and the Jubilee Year, you are invited to take place in a special campus-wide vigil before the Lord, on the last full day of Eucharistic Adoration this millenium at Notre Dame. Each dorm will be resopnsible for sending one representative every half hour, beginning MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6 at 11:30pm and ending TUESDAY NOVEMBER 7 at 10:00pm.
