Rotten luck USA Tooday RODANTHE, N.C. - A fishing ship that ran aground with a cargo of tons of fish finally was towed free, but not before the fish rotted into a smelly, worthless and possibly explosive mixture. While the 165-foot Shear Water was stuck, curiosity seekers were ordered to stay at least 300 feet away because of fears that 600 tons of rotting menhaden could create explosive methane gas. When the 15 crew members left the ship they shut down the electrical equipment - including storage coolers. The oily fish, about 7 inches long, move in schools so large they turn the water dark and can be spotted from airplanes. Barney White, a spokesman for the vessel's owner, Omega Products of Houston, said the mush will be taken offshore and dumped. Not your imagination...just something fishy about it... o~~~ O

NEW TOP AT TECHNET San Francisco Chronicle - Tuesday, June 30, 1998 As anticipated here a couple of weeks ago, Reed Hastings will be named president of Technology Network today. Hastings authored an initiative that would have expanded the number of charter schools in California. The proposal was heartily embraced by TechNet officials, who succeeded in getting the charter school expansion adopted by the Legislature. Hastings has more in common with TechNet than an interest in charter schools -- he was founder of Pure Software, which was purchased in 1997 by Rational Software for $750 million. Despite the huge dollars, Hastings says he would have preferred to keep running his company. Hastings replaces Gary Fazzino, the Palo Alto city councilman and Hewlett-Packard government affairs manager who ran TechNet on an interim basis for its first year. TECHNEWT: House Speaker Newt Gingrich will make a quick run through Silicon Valley tomorrow, holding a series of meetings with officials from the aforementioned TechNet at 3Com -- the company in Santa Clara, not the ballpark at Candlestick Point. Joining Gingrich will be Representative Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., recently named chairman of Gingrich's new High Technology Working Group. sfgate.com o~~~ O
