 Law.com - Food-Poisoning Plaintiffs Gain New Tactic
Now Savage has ruled that a jury must decide if both defendants may be held liable under the alternative liability doctrine because "molecular subtyping" has shown that both companies may have sold turkey products infected with the specific strain seen in all the victims.
Savage conceded that none of the plaintiffs can prove -- and medical science may never be able to show to a reasonable certainty -- which of the two companies' products actually caused each plaintiff's infection.
Savage agreed that no Pennsylvania appellate court has ever addressed the precise issue of whether the alternative liability theory is inapplicable to products liability cases.

 Savage Earth: Hell's Crust
The creation of crust at mid-ocean ridges "accounts for about ninety-five percent of the volcanic activity on Earth," says geophysicist Don Forsyth of Brown University, a principal investigator on the MELT project, which is conducting a detailed study of how melted rock flows from the mantle and into the spreading centers.
The scraping of one plate on another generates powerful earthquakes; the heating of the plate within the depths of the mantle releases fluids which melt the rock over it, producing blobs of molten rock, or magma, that surface as volcanoes.
Researchers have identified at least forty other active hot spots on the Earth, which are responsible for the birth of numerous other volcanic island chains (as well as the volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers of Yellowstone).

 Savage Lands: A Traveler's Guide to Nordmaar
From the savage villages of the interior, to the slave towns of the plantations, religion was a communal affair.
On the southernmost island, Taratemaar, where it is forbidden to go before the end of ones life, lies the kingdom of Tarano-me. It is the isle of the dead and of death itself, for he reigns there on a throne of bones.
The savages worship their gods, which are essentially aspects of Chislev, the Moons and Tarano-me. The exception to this is the savages of Lessinamaar, who worship the Bakali and the giant reptiles of their jungle.

That's because, four months earlier, the southern two-thirds of the island had been declared off-limits, and more than half the island's 11,000 residents evacuated, after earlier eruptions had rocked the colony.

 Savage Islands (aka Nate and Hayes) Film Review - Time Out Film
More in the vein of Raiders of the Lost Ark thrills and spills than Fairbanks swash and buckle, the story is told in flashback with good old-fashioned cut-and-thrust.
In the South Pacific islands in the 1880s, Captain Bully Hayes (Jones) saves maidens in distress, performs impossible feats of agility, does battle with a German count (Tilly) intent on nasty military annexations with the aid of an ironclad warship, in a plot that is as credible as Hitler's diaries.
Which makes not a lot of difference, for the film is to be enjoyed on a tongue-in-cheek level: lots of stunts and not too much mushy lovey-dovey stuff.

Given the fact that the restricted access to this island is controlled, our reconnaissance trip will be entirely by sea.

Lead programmer Sam McGrath and lead designer Jesse Hayes (who also happen to be the chief technology and chief operations officers of S2 Games) were happy to meet with me and walk me through one of the more promising demos we saw at the show.
But Savage's model is slightly different from the other titles that have tried to provide us with this same enticing concept.
I predict that 2002 will go down in PC gaming history as the year of the tall grass and Savage's new Silverback engine is certainly doing its part to support that claim.

 Welcome to Pacific Bliss
This Polynesian country of over 170 islands has especially intrigued me since I viewed the Tongan dancers on the beach on international TV; Tonga was the first country to greet the new Millennium on January 1, 2000.
The legends of the islands tell two stories of its origin: In the first, the mighty Polynesian god Tangaloa went fishing and snagged his tortoise shell and whalebone fish-hook on an opening in the island of Nuapapu, located in the Vava'u Group to which we are heading.
The islands emerged as one continuous land mass, but the fishing hook broke, allowing bits of land to sink back into the sea.
