Groundbreaking held for research building
A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday, Aug. 12, to begin construction of the Genome Sciences and Bioengineering Building in Seattle.
Speakers at the event included U.S. Senator Patty Murray and Congressman Norm Dicks, who, along with U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell and others, were instrumental in obtaining the federal funding for the new building.
Others speaking at the groundbreaking were Lee Huntsman, interim UW president; Paul Ramsey, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine; Denice Denton, dean of the School of Engineering; Yongmin Kim, chair of bioengineering; and Robert Waterston, chair of genome sciences.
$70 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation enabled the project. Additional funding was provided by the federal government, at $12 million, and $10 million from the Whitaker Foundation. Other private sources contributed toward the $150 million building cost.
All seven speakers, joined by UW Regents William H. Gates and Gerald Grinstein, sporting hardhats and shovels, broke the ground at the construction site west of the UW Health Sciences complex. The building is expected to be completed in 2005.

Eliot Ness
ARTICLE from the Encyclopædia Britannica
Eliot Ness, (born April 19, 1903, Chicago—died May 7, 1957), American crime fighter, head of a nine-man team of law officers called the “Untouchables,” who opposed Al Capone’s underworld network in Chicago.
A graduate of the University of Chicago, Ness was 26 when, in 1929, he was hired as a special agent of the U.S. Department of Justice to head the Prohibition bureau in Chicago, with the express purpose of investigating and harassing Al Capone. Because the men, all in their 20s, whom he hired to help him were extremely dedicated and unbribable, they were nicknamed the Untouchables. The ... (100 of 209 words)

The Stand - The Complete & Uncut Edition [ RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS US Title 18 ]
The oral hygienist from Fordham, crying out her window after him: I thought you were a nice guy! You ain’t no nice guy!
There’s something left out of you, Larry. You’re a taker.
That’s a lie! That is a goddamned LIE!
“Rita,” he said, “I’m sorry.”
She sat down on the pavement in her sleeveless blouse and her white deckpants, her hair looking gray and old. She bowed her head and held her hurt feet. She wouldn’t look at him.
“I’m sorry,” he repeated. “I… look, I had no right to say those things.” He did, but never mind. If you apologized, things got smoothed over. It was how the world worked.
“Go on, Larry,” she said, “don’t let me slow you down.”
“I said I was sorry,” he told her, his voice a trifle petulant. “We’ll get you some new shoes and some white socks. We’ll…”
“We’ll nothing. Go on.”
“Rita, I’m sorry—”
“If you say that one more time, I’ll scream. You’re a shit and your apology is not accepted. Now go on.”
“I said I was—”
She threw back her head and shrieked. He took a step backward, looking around to see if anyone had heard her, to see if maybe a policeman was running over to see what kind of awful thing that young fellow was doing to the old lady who was sitting on the sidewalk with her shoes off. Culture lag, he thought distractedly, what fun it all is.
She stopped screaming and looked at him. She made a flicking gesture with her hand, as if he was a bothersome fly.
“You better stop,” he said, “or I really will leave you.”
She only looked at him. He couldn’t meet her eyes and so dropped his gaze, hating her for making him do that.
“All right,” he said, “have a good time getting raped and murdered.”
He shouldered the rifle and started off again, now angling left toward the car-packed 495 entrance ramp, sloping down toward the tunnel’s mouth. At the foot of the ramp he saw there had been one hell of a crash; a man driving a Mayflower moving van had tried to butt his way into the main traffic flow and cars were scattered around the van like bowling pins. A burned-out Pinto lay almost beneath the van’s body. The van’s driver hung halfway out of the cab window, head down, arms dangling. There was a fan of dried blood and puke sprayed out below him on the door.
Larry looked around, sure he would see her walking toward him or standing and accusing him with her eyes. But Rita was gone.
“Fuck you,” he said with nervous resentment. “I tried to apologize.”
