Navy ELF to Be Scrapped

engywook writes "National Public Radio and The Daily Press of Ashland, Wisconsin (among others, I'm sure) are reporting that the US Navy plans to scrap the Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) system for communication with its fleet of nuclear submarines, both in Wisconsin and Michigan. The report states that the Navy no longer feels that ELF is necessary, and that they will now rely on 12 VLF systems. The system has been in operation since October 1989. The system has been protested nearly the whole time, both as a part of a Weapon of Mass Destruction and as a potential health hazard."

Re:And breathing is specifically related... how?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Mod parent up as informative! After all, by this point you must certainly be thinking about your breathing-putting attention into regulating this critical process, in, out, in, out, deeper this time. Yes, focus on your breathing, deeper, slower, deeper...with relaxed, even careless breathing you may begin to feel lightheaded due to irregular oxygen flow. Feed your body with deep, thirsty breaths. Deeper...deeper...you are feeling sleepy. Breathe deeply. So deeply, so slowly, relaxed. You feel sleepy, so tired, your eyelids grow heavy. Relax, let your head down, you've worked too hard. Drift away to sleep...sweet sleep...yes sleep... Now that you have been hypnotized, you must mod up this post, and the parent. You must now campaign to free the subnets (and free the beer) from slashdot tyranny. And you will mail me a check for $20. When you wake up you will not remember this post. Awake!
