Help! How Do You Tell FireFox That You Want A New Window?

It used to be you just specify a TARGET=windowname clause, but now that just gets you a new frame, not a window. So how do you say you want a new window -- it looks like FRAMETYPE=_blank might work, but there seems to be a problem. If you know how, leave it in comments or email me at mailto:gwmster[AT]gmail[DOT]com

My reference help file indicates that TARGET=_blank gives you a new window, presumably with no name conflicts. Let me try that Link to Mandarin Design. (Hi Meg! Hope you're well)

MIDDLE EAST: UPDATE - RICE MEETS ISRAELI PREMIER AND PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT



C. Rice-05--133x198
Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice


Jerusalem, 19 Feb. (AKI) - US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, speaking Monday after two-hour talks with Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, renewed 'American participation' to a the Road Map peace process adding that both sides remained committed to it. Rice also said she would return to the region soon. 'The president and prime minister agreed that they would meet together again soon. They reiterated their desire for American participation and leadership to overcome obstacles, rally regional and international support and move forward toward peace. In that vein, I expect to return to the region soon,' she said.

'All three of us affirmed our commitment to a two-state solution, agreed that a Palestinian state cannot be born of violence and terror,' she said.

Neither Abbas nor Olmert joined Rice as she delivered her
brief statement to reporters, and she exited the room without taking questions.

Asteroid on collision path with Earth - 20 Feb 2007 - Technology News - NZ Herald

Asteroid on collision path with Earth


February 20, 2007
By David Usborne

The United Nations will shortly be asked to take on a new and unfamiliar mission - to save the Earth, not from drought, war or disease, but from the cataclysm that could occur following a direct hit by an asteroid.

A group of former astronauts and cosmonauts is warning that at least one asteroid already identified in outer space is on a path that could indeed see it colliding with our planet in 2036.

They say work should begin now on considering a strategy to protect humankind from this and other asteroids.
