Judged: 2 2 2 ClimateDepot? That right wing rag... There are multiple variables impacting extreme weather events. Warming will increase energy in the system, so will likely be a cause -- either directly or indirectly. But statistically there is no high certainty that would prove this is already occurring. Most extreme events have a unique number of variables contributing to each one. As NASA's Gavin Schmidt noted on RealClimate.org : "Hurricanes intensity ... is not driven by temperature gradients. Nor are droughts. More generally, it underlies the point that all extremes are different and that attribution of changes in extremes needs to proceed on a case by case basis." On the other hand, as he also notes, there is also no evidence that warming was not an indirect cause of the increased extreme events we have seen. In summary: We do know we have more extreme events -- everyone really forgotten the extreme drought we had out west last summer? Oh, yeah Climate Depot has... It's just we just can't definitely tie them statistically with a very high degree of confidence levels to the global warming we have already experienced. yet we see reinsurance companies, like Munich Re, are very concerned about the impacts of global warming, and I don't think you can even buy hurricane insurance in some parts of Florida anymore |
Judged: 2 1 Quoting websites funded by energy companies, don't win you science arguments. |
An insurance company is concerned with economic costs and all costs have gone up. Most don't take their climate info from an insurance co. As to the drought in the west, it happened in the 1950s, the 1930s and the 1980s. Take a look at the temps of the 1950 thru 1956 time period. |

Judged: 1 1 1 Not directly... Climatedepot is written and put out by Marc Moreno (Senator James Inhofe's former communication director, former Rush Limbaugh producer, and professional paid lobbyist. Here are some details about Climatedepot from sourcewatch: " ClimateDepot.com is being financed by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, a nonprofit in Washington that advocates for free-market solutions to environmental issues. Public tax filings for 2003-7 (the last five years for which documents are available) show that the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the ExxonMobil Foundation and foundations associated with the billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, a longtime financier of conservative causes, including being the primary source of money used to fund attacks against Bill Clinton during the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky eras of his presidency [1]" http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php... About Marc Moreno: "Marc Morano runs the climate website ClimateDepot.com for the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, a conservative environmental think tank. Until spring of 2009, Morano served as communications director for the Republicans on the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Morano commenced work with the committee under Senator James Inhofe, who was majority chairman of the committee until January 2007 and is now minority ranking member. In December 2006 Morano launched a blog on the committee's website that largely promotes the views of climate change skeptics. Morano is a former journalist with Cybercast News Service (CNS), which is owned by the conservative Media Research Center. CNS and Morano were the first source in May 2004 of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth claims against John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election [1] and in January 2006 of similar smears against Vietnam war veteran John Murtha. Morano was "previously known as Rush Limbaugh's 'Man in Washington,' as reporter and producer for the Rush Limbaugh Television Show, as well as a former correspondent and producer for American Investigator, the nationally syndicated TV newsmagazine."[1]" http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php... So, not only is Marc Moreno not a climate scientist - he's actually the media savvy hit man who executed the Swift Boat character assassination campaign. Moreno's work, particularly on Senator Inhofe's web site, is marked by quote mining hundreds of quotes, most from legitimate scientists, out of context (and without proper attribution) which make it appear that they oppose AGW theory. Many of these scientists have vocally complained about being quoted in this way. http://www.grist.org/article/the-inhofe-400-s... http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2008/12/inhof... http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2008/12/more_... Bottom line, Marc Moreno is a professional liar who specializes in spinning the media for a living. I would say this is the perfect picture of an unreliable source. And this is the first source you post. See Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming |

Judged: 2 2 2 Er, have you paid attention to what's going on at the poles? Here is the Arctic. And satellites are showing the ice is getting "mush" underneath too. http://www.youtube.com/watch... <<Sea levels will rise more dramatically than was predicted nearly four years ago by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a new study of arctic conditions concludes. The Arctic ice study by the International Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program, titled Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (SWIPA), says that the feedback loops scientists have been warning about already are accelerating glacial melting in the Arctic, which accounted for 40% of sea-level rise chronicled annually from 2003 through 2008. The executive summary of the report says: The greatest increase in surface air temperature has happened in autumn, in regions where sea ice has disappeared by the end of summer. This suggests that the sea is absorbing more of the sun's energy during the summer because of the loss of ice cover. The extra energy is being released as heat in autumn, further warming the Arctic lower atmosphere. Over land, the number of days with snow cover has changed mostly in spring. Early snow melt is accelerated by earlier and stronger warming of land surfaces that are no longer snow-covered. These processes are termed "feedbacks." Snow feedbacks are well known. The sea-ice feedback has been anticipated by climate scientists, but clear evidence for it has only been observed in the Arctic in the past five years. Sea levels are expected to rise by 35 to 63 inches by 2100, far more than the 2007 projection of 7 to 23 inches made by the IPCC, the report says. Temperatures from 2005 through 2010 have been the highest since records began in 1880, the study shows. The melting will not only affect sea levels; it has the potential to alter sea currents that regulate climate, the report warns: All the main sources of freshwater entering the Arctic Ocean are increasing -- river discharge, rain/snow, and melting glaciers, ice caps, and the Greenland Ice Sheet. Recent calculations estimate that an extra 7700 km3 of freshwater -- equivalent to one meter of water over the entire land surface of Australia -- has been added to the Arctic Ocean in recent years. There is a risk that this could alter large-scale ocean currents that affect climate on a continental scale.>> http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace/20... |

Judged: 1 1 1 No, The summer drought came with record heat. The year 2012 is the hottest year ever recorded in the United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, whose records date to 1895. And July 2012 was the hottest month ever recorded, the agency said. If you are going back to the Dust Bowl there were other causes to the drought than the heat, especially the poor agricultural practices that led to poor top soil that blew away when there were less rains. It is the increased heat that is creating the droughts today, because the higher heat evaporates the moisture in the air, that must be replenished with rains. The hotter day temperatures also can led to the destruction of the plant, because flowering of the plant can happen during midday. Here is the global temperature record from NASA going back to 1880. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Instru... (NASA).svg |

Judged: 4 3 3 No. Look it up. The heat of the 1950s was just as hot as it was in 2012 in the areas that were impacted by the drought. Look up the 1980s. Wasn't around for the 1930s but the same heat and same drought impacted all four time periods. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/drought/drght_... And in the 1960s, had three feet of standing water in the backyard in a 'suburb' of Asbury Park, NJ from a hurricane. Only in the backyard, not in the house because all the houses were built up on berms. It had flooded before from hurricanes and whoever built the place had decided that it could happen again, it did. Nothing new happened this year. It had all happened before and will happen again. |
Judged: 4 4 4 Yep, I pay attention. Do some research on the arctic oscillation. It will help you to understand the dynamics of the arctic. And, surprisingly, the same arctic oscillation impacts the mass balance of Europe's glaciers. http://mclean.ch/climate/Ice_cores.htm This is interesting if you take some time and compare the arctic to the antarctic, you'll notice the temperatures change in antarctic data before the arctic data. |

And I have to say: The iPhone is the single worst tech buying decision I've made in years. It's so dang locked down, in so many ways, it just sucks. I had a w300i for a couple of years before my iPhone, and it doubled as a USB stick - I could plug it in to any computer, and without installing software, transfer files back and forth. With a 1gig micro-SD card it was somewhat limiting, but still pretty dang useful. If I wanted to add music to it, I just had to copy MP3s into the appropriate folder. That was it. None of this farting around with that useless iTunes garbageware. I could go on for days in the ways that the locked down architecture, and locked down philosophy that's at the core of everything Apple does tics me off, and the ways that it became represented in the iPhone. But why bother? There's a crowd out there in **luv** with their iPhones, and aren't likely to move away from them. For the rest of the planet, Android is the future. It's open nature isn't just for geeks. Android means you can use your phone as a USB stick (without paying for an app that partially lets you do this). Android means you DO have access to the file system in meaningful ways. Which lets you just copy files into folders you organise in a way that makes sense to you (and don't underestimate the importance of this even to non-geeks). Android means you can get apps from wherever you want to get apps from, not just from one store that arbitrates what you are and aren't allowed to run on your phone. And yes, that matters to non geeks too. Android means you can install Flash, and be able to surf the web that IS, rather than surf the web that Apple wishes would be. Android means you can run Java. Again, this allows you to surf the web that IS. And those last two points are the most important, and the reason why Android will grind the iPhone into the dirty corner of a niche market in the long run. What I'm amazed people here (especially here, of all places) fail to realize is that your cel phone is no longer a phone. It is becoming the "portable web". And THAT, my friends, is the ultimate killer app. Why install an app when you can use your phone to surf to a web page that has a million and one free flash games designed for the small screen and touch interfaces? (Don't think for a second there aren't Flash programmers already working on this). Why use a kludgy app to be able to see a tiny portion of YouTube that's been ported to Apple's custom codec when you can, well, surf to YouTube in all it's kitschy, low production video glory? The iPhone/80's Apple vs Android/80's Microsoft comparison isn't the right comparison. The right comparison is iPhone/AOL's closed garden vs. Android/The Whole Damn Internet in your pocket. If you believe the iPhone is going to win, have fun with that. As soon as I can sneak an Android into the house without my wife complaining about the price... I already have the video planned out in my head... It involves a hockey stick, a brick wall, a slapshot, and an iPhone for a puck.
I have an iPhone, and I'm not in the U.S. so I don't have the complaints about the carrier that came with the phone (which is the same carrier I've been using for a decade without complaints).

The cockeyed C-quality B movie, shot on location with a Balkan supporting cast and crew, mixes a precarious pileup of visual clichés with over-staged action sequences.
For the thickheaded thriller Assassin's Bullet the Bulgarian actress Elika Portnoy dreamed up a story with three roles for herself and fails to convince in any of them.
The action sequences are strictly pro forma and -- despite the sleek killer's resemblance to the similarly lethal heroine of "La Femme Nikita" -- this dull effort lacks the excitement generated by any of its incarnations.
Much of this makes little sense, but it's hard to care.
What snookered Slater (not to mention Donald Sutherland) into this film is a wonder, because there's not a genuine bone in it. Think the Bourne franchise meets the Bond franchise, without the wit or action.
Corny action scenes and borderline-hilarious direction by Isaac Florentine mark the film as an obvious straight-to-video item that somehow took a wrong turn into a movie theater.
Fans of incessant flashbacks and endless whooshing zooms into close-ups will find much to love about Assassin's Bullet; less satisfied, alas, will be those with a fondness for lucid plotting, compelling intrigue, and credible performances.
Aug 1, 2012This is the third feature Portnoy has conceived and starred in, and while her initiative and ability to find funding for these films is admirable, Assassin's Bullet feels like a shameless, dismal vanity project.
Isaac Florentine's film is maligned with gaping plot holes, terrible expository dialogue, and obvious moments of foreshadowing.
Assassin's Bullet is strictly '90s-era pay-cable genre-rip-off nostalgia, ripe for ridicule.
Anyone watching Assassin's Bullet will be gripped with a similar sensation -- to be anywhere but watching this movie.

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, along with Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), today announced legislation that would force EPA to rule quickly on California 's request for a waiver under the Clean Air Act to allow the state to regulate global warming pollution from cars.
Senator Boxer said: "In hearings before the Environment and Public Works Committee, Administrator Johnson has been clearly put on notice that EPA should long ago have granted California 's waiver to regulate global warming pollution from cars. Today's legislation is another signal to EPA that action is needed now. When Administrator Johnson comes before the Committee again on July 26, I will continue to press EPA to grant the California waiver without further delay."
The legislation introduced today includes the following provisions:
1) The Administrator of EPA must issue a decision within 30 days of the bill's enactment, and no later than September 30, 2007, on any pending request for a waiver of federal preemption submitted by California for motor vehicles.
2) All future requests for waivers for California 's motor vehicle program must be decided within 180 days of receipt.

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] issued opinions in four cases Thursday. The Court ruled [opinion, PDF] 5-4 in District Attorney's Office v. Osborne [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that a defendant does not have the right to obtain post-conviction access to the states biological evidence in order to do DNA testing. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that Osborne had a right to access the evidence against him on appeal, under Section 1983 [text] and the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process clause, even though his lawyer made a strategic decision to forgo independent DNA analysis for the trial. In reversing the opinion below, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote:
DNA testing has an unparalleled ability both to exonerate the wrongly convicted and to identify the guilty. It has the potential to significantly improve both the criminal justice system and police investigative practices. The Federal Government and the States have recognized this, and have developed special approaches to ensure that this evidentiary tool can be effectively incorporated into established criminal procedure usually but not always through legislation.Against this prompt and considered response, the respondent, William Osborne, proposes a different approach: the recognition of a freestanding and far-reaching constitutional right of access to this new type of evidence. The nature of what he seeks is confirmed by his decision to file this lawsuit in federal court under 42 USC § 1983, not within the state criminal justice system. This approach would take the development of rules and procedures in this area out of the hands of legislatures and state courts shaping policy in a focused manner and turn it over to federal courts applying the broad parameters of the Due Process Clause. There is no reason to constitutionalize the issue in this way.
We hold that a plaintiff bringing a disparate-treatment claim pursuant to the ADEA must prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that age was the "but-for" cause of the challenged adverse employment action. The burden of persuasion does not shift to the employer to show that it would have taken the action regardless of age, even when a plaintiff has produced some evidence that age was one motivating factor in that decision.

Search for supersymmetry in events with b-quark jets and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at 7 TeV |
For the CMS collaboration(s) |
(2012) |
Results are presented from a search for physics beyond the standard model based on events with large missing transverse energy, at least three jets, and at least one, two, or three b-quark jets. The study is performed using a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2011, with the missing transverse energy distribution as the principal search variable. The integrated luminosity of the sample is 4.98 inverse femtobarns. The observed number of events is found to be consistent with the standard model expectation, which is evaluated using control samples in the data. The results are used to constrain cross sections for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying to b-quark-enriched final states in the context of simplified model spectra. |

Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible
The Bible in English |
The Joseph Smith Translation (JST), also called the Inspired Version (IV), was a revision of the Bible by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Smith considered this work to be "a branch of his calling" as a prophet. Smith was murdered before he ever deemed it complete, though most of his work on it was performed about a decade previous. The work is the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) with some significant additions and revisions. It is considered a sacred text and is part of the canon of Community of Christ (CoC), formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and other Latter Day Saint churches. Selections from the Joseph Smith Translation are also included in the footnotes and the appendix in the LDS-published King James Version of the Bible, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has only officially canonized certain excerpts that appear in its Pearl of Great Price. These excerpts are the Book of Moses and Smith's revision of part of the Gospel of Matthew.
The term "translation"[edit]
The term "translation" was broader in meaning in 1828 than it is today,[1] and Joseph Smith's work was at the time considered a revision of the English text, rather than a translation between languages, since it was known that Joseph Smith had not studied Hebrew or Greek to produce his manuscript in 1828,[2] although Smith did later study Hebrew from 1836 with Joshua Seixas at Kirtland, Ohio.[3]
The work of revision[edit]
The Translation was intended to restore what Smith described as "many important points touching the salvation of men, [that] had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled."[4] But the work was not a literal translation from ancient documents, as the term translation is commonly used today. Neither was it an automatic and infallible process where "correct" words and phrases simply were revealed to Smith in final form. As with Joseph Smith's other translations, he reported that he was forced to "study it out in [his] mind"[5] as part of the revelatory process.[6] Sometimes Smith might revisit a given passage of scripture at a later time to give it a "plainer translation,"[7] because of additional knowledge or revelation about a subject.
Philip Barlow observes that Smith made six basic types of changes from the KJV in the JST:[8]
- Long revealed additions that have little or no biblical parallel, such as the visions of Moses and Enoch, and the passage on Melchizedek
- "Common-sense" changes (e.g., Genesis 6:6 "And it repented the Lord that he had made man" is revised in Moses 8:25 to read: "And it repented Noah, and his heart was pained that the Lord had made man". God, who is perfect, needs no repentance)
- "Interpretive additions," often signaled by the phrase "or in other words," which Smith appended to a passage he wished to clarify
- "Harmonization", in which Smith reconciled passages that seemed to conflict with other passages
- Many changes Smith made are not easily classified; one can observe only that frequently the meaning of a given text has been changed, often idiosyncratically
- Grammatical improvements, technical clarifications, and modernization of terms, which were by far the most common type of change Smith made in the Bible
Smith's Translation was a work in progress throughout his ministry. Some parts of the revision (parts of Genesis and the four Gospels) were completed from beginning to end, including unchanged verses from the KJV; some parts were revised more than once, and other parts were revised one verse at a time. The manuscripts were written, re-written, and in some cases, additional edits were written in the columns, pinned to the paper or otherwise attached. Smith relied on a version of the Bible that included the Apocrypha, and marked off the Bible as verses were examined (the Apocrypha was not included in the Translation). Skeptics view this nonlinearity as evidence that Smith's Translation was not inspired; however, Latter Day Saints see Smith's Translation as representing a gradual, developing inspiration[citation needed].
The bulk of Joseph Smith's work on the JST took place between June 1830 and July 1833. By 1833, he felt it was sufficiently complete that preparations for publication could begin, though continual lack of time and means[citation needed] prevented it from appearing in its entirety during his lifetime. He continued to make a few revisions and to prepare the manuscript for printing until he was killed in 1844.[9] Regarding the completeness of the JST as we have it, Matthews has written:
- …the manuscript shows that Smith went all the way through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But it also shows that he did not make all the necessary corrections in one effort. This situation makes it impossible to give a statistical answer to questions about how much of the Translation was completed or how much was not completed. What is evident, however, is that any part of the Translation might have been further touched upon and improved by additional revelation and emendation by Smith.[10]
LDS scholar Royal Skousen discusses the question of whether one should assume that every change made in the JST constitutes revealed text.[11] Besides arguments that can be made from the actual text of the JST, there are questions regarding the reliability of and degree of supervision given to the scribes who were involved in transcribing, copying, and preparing the text for publication. Differences are also apparent in the nature of the revision process that took place at different stages of the work. For example, while a significant proportion of the Genesis passages that have been canonized as the book of Moses "[look] like a word-for-word revealed text," evidence from a study of two sections in the New Testament that were revised twice indicates that the later "New Testament JST is not being revealed word-for-word, but largely depends upon Joseph Smith's varying responses to the same difficulties in the text."
Use of pseudepigraphic texts[edit]
Some scholars consider that Smith had access to Old Testament pseudepigrapha and included insights from these texts in his translation.[12]
Doctrinal development[edit]
Many of Smith's revisions to the Bible led to significant developments in the doctrines of Mormonism.[13] During the process of translation, when he came across troubling Biblical issues, Smith often dictated revelations relevant to himself, his associates, or the church. About half of the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants are in some way connected to this translation process, including background on the Apocrypha (LDS D&C section 91 CoC D&C 88), the three degrees of glory (LDS section 76 CoC Section 85), the eternal nature of marriage and plural marriage (LDS section 132), teachings on baptism for the dead (LDS section 124 CoC Section 107), various revelations on priesthood (LDS sections 84, 88, 107 CoC Sections 83 104) and others.
Overall, 3,410 verses in the printed editions of JST differ in textual construction from the King James Version (KJV), using the numbering of the IV as the basis for comparison. Of the total of 1,289 verses changed in the Old Testament, 25 correspond to the additions of Moses 1, and 662 occur in the book of Genesis.[14] Hence, more than half of the changed verses in the JST Old Testament and 20% of those in the entire JST Bible are contained in Moses 1 and Genesis, with the most extensive modifications occurring in Genesis 1-24. As a proportion of page count, changes in Genesis occur four times more frequently than in the New Testament, and twenty-one times more frequently than in the rest of the Old Testament. The changes in Genesis are not only more numerous, but also more significant in the degree of doctrinal and historical expansion. Jeffrey M. Bradshaw has suggested that one reason for this emphasis may have been "early tutoring in temple-related doctrines received by Joseph Smith as he revised and expanded Genesis 1-24, in conjunction with his later translation of relevant passages in the New Testament and, for example, the stories of Moses and Elijah."[15] Additional evidence suggests that the Book of Moses itself could be seen as a temple text, in the sense discussed by BYU professor John W. Welch.[16]
Publication and use by the Community of Christ (formerly RLDS)[edit]
Smith was killed prior to the publication of the translation. At the death of Joseph Smith Jr. the manuscripts and documents pertaining to the translation were retained by his widow, Emma Smith, who would not give them to the Quorum of the Twelve although Willard Richards, apparently acting on behalf of Brigham Young, requested the new translation from her. Consequently, when Young's followers moved to the Salt Lake Valley, they did so without the new translation of the Bible.
Following Joseph Smith's death, John Milton Bernhisel asked permission of Emma Smith to copy the notes that were made into his own Bible.[17] He spent much of the spring of 1845 working on this project. The LDS Church has this in its offices in Salt Lake City, but it contains less than half of the corrections and is not suitable for publication. For many years the Bernhisel Bible was the only source for LDS Church members living in the Salt Lake Valley.
In 1866, Emma Smith gave the manuscripts into the custody of the RLDS church, of which she was a member, and her son Joseph Smith III the prophet-president. In 1867 the RLDS published the first edition of the translation and obtained a copyright for it. The RLDS church, now known as the Community of Christ, still retains the original manuscripts and publishes the Inspired Version through its publishing arm, Herald House Publishing. The copyright has expired on the 1867 edition[18] and a bound photo reproduction of that edition is published by a private concern. In 1944, the RLDS Church brought out a carefully prepared "new corrected edition."
Scholarship on JST Manuscripts[edit]
Because LDS scholars had not yet had an opportunity to compare the corrected edition of the 1944 RLDS edition of the Bible version to the original manuscripts, its initial acceptance by LDS Church members was limited.[19] Explorations of the textual foundations of the JST began in earnest with the pioneering work of the RLDS scholar Richard P. Howard and the LDS scholar Robert J. Matthews beginning in the 1960s.[20][21] Matthews' summary of an exhaustive study corroborated the RLDS claims that the 1944 and subsequent editions of the "Inspired Version," notwithstanding their shortcomings, constituted a faithful rendering of the work of Joseph Smith and his scribes—insofar as the manuscripts were then understood. With painstaking effort over a period of eight years, and with the full cooperation of the Community of Christ, a facsimile transcription of all the original manuscripts of the JST was at last published in 2004.[22]
LDS View[edit]
The LDS Church accepts many of the changes as doctrinally significant. Joseph Smith—Matthew and the Book of Moses, containing translations and revelatory expansions of Matthew 24 and Genesis 1-7 respectively and contained in the LDS Pearl of Great Price, are portions of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible that the LDS Church has canonized as part of its standard works. Additionally, over 600[23] of the more doctrinally significant verses from the translation are included as excerpts in the current LDS Church edition of the King James Version of the Bible. This step has ensured an increase in the JST's use and acceptance in LDS churches today. An official editorial of the Church News, dated December 7, 1974, contained these words:
"The Inspired Version does not supplant the King James Version as the official Church version of the Bible, but the explanations and changes made by the Prophet Joseph Smith provide enlightenment and useful commentary on many biblical passages." …[24]
Regarding the Joseph Smith Translation, Bruce R. McConkie (1915–1985) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, "The Joseph Smith Translation, or Inspired Version, is a thousand times over the best Bible now existing on earth".[25]

South African grains closed the last session of 2012 lower due to weaker Chicago Board of Trade (CBoT) prices and rains in the eastern maize belt of the country.
"Corn prices in the US were lower' which pulled our market down. In addition we have seen good rains in the eastern part of the country' which has helped growing conditions'" a local trader said.
The white maize contract for March 2013 delivery shed R8.80 to R2'133.20 per ton' while the white maize contract for July 2013 lost R20.20 to R1'984.80 per ton.
The yellow maize contract for March 2013 delivery by contrast rose R4 to close at R2'239 per ton' while the July 2013 yellow maize contract dipped R22 to R2055 per ton.
Dow Jones Newswires reported that US money managers cut bullish bets in CBoT corn futures and options in the week ended Tuesday' CFTC data show.
Managed funds' including hedge funds' had a net long position of 140'109 contracts in CBoT corn' down 20% on the week. The drop came as corn slipped to fresh five-month lows' pressured by technical selling and a slow pace of exports.

I set up a Google Group for anyone who wants to drill down on the idea of hosting an apps contest for any and every city in the world. The group's home page is at http://groups.google.com/group/apps-for-everywhere If you're interested in working through it, helping decide if it's a workable idea, and figuring out how to make it really great, drop in and sign up.
Or feel free to write a reply to yesterday's thread, if you'd rather.
I will post periodically to Discussions and the Main Group about the idea if it continues to grow. But a Google Group will allow anyone interested to talk as much as they want without bothering the others on this list.
Great idea. I think waking up mid-sized cities to the opportunities and incentivizing open data sharing is key.
Code for America is taking applications from cities who want coders now:

Engelberth at work at Rockingham Library projectLen Emery Photo
Construction equipment and building materials are scattered around at the Rockingham Public Library in Bellows Falls.BELLOWS FALLS The towns $2.9 million contract with Baybutt Construction Co. is over and done and workers from a new construction firm were on the scene Tuesday to button up work on the Rockingham Free Public Library, which is under renovation.
Town Manager Tim Cullenen said that Baybutt Construction of Keene, N.H., had not contacted the town since the town sent it a letter declaring the firm was in default on the $2.9 million contract.
Baybutt had a week to bring the contract into compliance, and it had 10 days to keep the town from bringing in another construction firm, Cullenen said.
We havent heard anything. Its over and done, he said.
Cullenen said that workers from Engelberth Construction Inc. of Colchester were at the library Tuesday morning to button up the library until the town decides on what route to take to complete the renovation project. Cullenen said it was a possibility that the town would take legal action against Baybutt. Its a possibility, but its yet to be determined, he said, saying the town would rely on advice from Town Attorney Stephen Ankuda of Springfield, who couldnt be reached for comment Tuesday.
The most important thing is to get the building closed up, he said.
A visit to the library Tuesday revealed equipment and machinery and building materials abandoned and dumped in place. A security fence around the portion of the library still under renovation was far from secure.
Cullenen said the town had hired Engelberth on a time and materials contract, which he estimated would cost between $10,000 and $15,000. He said he expected Engelberth would be working at the library for a couple of weeks to get things in place, with an emphasis on safety issues.
The town asserted Baybutt was in default of the contract because it had failed to pay subcontractors on the project and had failed to take out a payment and performance bond on the project, despite the town paying $21,000 toward it. Subcontractors have filed liens close to $500,000 against Baybutt and the town over the library renovation project.
The town has sent a clear message to the subcontractors that their beef is with Baybutt and not the town, since the town had paid Baybutt for their work.
The town has largely taken the management of the construction project from the librarys board of trustees, Cullenen said. The library building is owned by the town, in fact the town approved the $2.9 million bond in May 2011. The library trustees, Cullenen said, are in charge of the library operations and programming.
Cullenen said his priority was getting the project moving forward, and not finding out who was responsible for the bond foul-up.
I dont care who dropped the ball. That was six months ago, Cullenen said.

By Avirook Sen
The purported murder weapon in the Aarushi-Hemraj case -- one of two golf clubs -- have become the focus of attention in the trial in the special court in Ghaziabad.
The clubs are from a set of 12 that Aarushi's father Dr Rajesh Talwar, a novice golfer, owned. The set was sent to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) for examination, after which the lab reported that there was a "negligible amount" of dirt lodged in the cavity of the numbers engraved on two, as compared with the others.
It is from this finding, that the CBI drew the inference that two of the clubs were "cleaned" by the accused couple, Dr Rajesh and Nupur Talwar. But the scientific expert who carried out the tests failed to tell the court that less dirt meant evidence of cleaning.
This, however, was a minor problem. The CBI's closure report, filed in 2010 -- and the document which forms the basis of the case against the dentist couple, identifies a different golf club altogether as the murder weapon.

#1 LMSs
Data tells it all, so without further adieu
- A significant number of vendors, reported higher revenue and sales numbers in 2010, then in 2009
- A calling to a large number of vendors (small, medium and big), are all reporting strong numbers in January, with many saying that January 2011, was their best month – numbers and business wise, in the last few years
- A stronger interest in either adding an extended enterprise option, or in some cases moving to an extended enterprise approach (albeit, they still offer across the board, but really are focusing on EE)
- Some are moving to "unlimited users" and free "tech/customer support", which the latter being a really nice and new concept for the industry
- More vendors entering the "Lite" LMS space which incorporates the "month to month" pricing structure and includes "storage". I'm glad to report that Litmos, a Lite LMS vendor, has dropped any additional cost for more storage, if you go over your included storage. Kudos!
- A number of vendors whose real focus is the Talent Management/Performance Management market. While they still offer the LMS as we all know it, and its "learning" approach, they are really driving into the TM space
- Greater number of vendors switching to only SAAS or "in the cloud" rather than self-hosted
- Continued growth for open source solutions; Moodle is still the king; especially in education, although it is slowly starting to appear in the business and government side
#2 Mobile Learning
For the longest time, it was all about smartphones. Then in some circles it was the smartphones and the power of social learning with said smartphones. Tablets were never even a consideration, and I'm talking in 2010. The iPad? You could count on your hand the number of vendors even looking at it, and I'm not just talking LMSs/Learning Portals, but content authoring tools and other products.
I recall speaking in November on a webinar panel and being somewhat chided over the fact that I kept repeating the importance of mobile learning and tablets. It was as though, I was somewhere on Saturn.
When I spoke to numerous vendors on tablets, I kept hearing the same song, "we aren't hearing it from our customers, OR we are looking in the future OR perhaps in 2012″.
It was smartphones, you silly man. Funny, thing about those vendors, either their entire consumer base rose up and screamed we want tablets, or perhaps – and I know – it never happens in any industry – just perhaps, they looked again and said, "I see money in those tablets".
- Vendors who told me they were holding off or that their customers were not requesting m-learning on tablets, are or in the process of offering m-learning on tablets, with primary focus being the iPad
- A couple of rapid content authoring tool vendors are incorporating HTML5 features in their tool, which can be used on tablets, and of course the iPad
- According to a person I spoke with last week at the Articulate booth at Tech Knowledge 2011, Articulate is expecting to roll out HTML5 functionality in their product in Q4 2011 or Q1 2012
COOL PRODUCT: Knowledge Tango aka K-Tango
- from CERTPOINT, not yet launched in the United States
- Truly a revolutionary product from the extended enterprise – which it is for – 100% POS (Point of Sale) focused
- Harnesses the power of Tablets, including the Ipad (which I viewed it on)
- Is a standalone solution, not tied to their LMS
- 100% mobile
Tablet Data in General
- According to the latest projections, the number of tablets to be launched by the end of 2011, is between 80 to 85, with the exception of a small few, they will all accept Flash and HTML5
- The latest market share report is Apple 75%, Android 23%, 2% Other, early projections expect Apple to increase share once the iPad2 is launched
- New vendors hitting the market include Motorola, HP, Vizio, Toshiba, Dell; LG is going to launch sometime mid-year the G-Slate, which incorporates 3D, but you have to wear 3D glasses to see it; all offer video cams and cameras
In my opinion, mobile learning with tablets is the real growth of this industry; and mobile learning will be the big player this year, above social learning.
#3 Social Learning
Still moving forward, with vendors adding some new functionality, and yes, some still in the "gerbil in the wheel".
- Vendors are adding more "comments" and voting i.e. yes or no or thumbs up/thumbs down features
- An increase in Social Q/A or some call it "Ask an Expert" or some other nomenclature; basically a person asks a question, then a subject matter expert responds; in some cases, other end users can also respond to or follow up
- An increase in enabling video upload with comments, number of times seen and date stamp
- Forums and discussion boards are making a comeback (why?)
- Chat rooms – text chat no less, also appearing – (wow, this is soo early 90′s)
- Real Time collaborative tools, such as integration with Google Docs or desktop sharing, slowly starting to appear
Why haven't we seen
- Real Time video group chat
- With the exception of one vendor, voice discussion boards, but adding "video" – which the vendor does not offer
- More real time collaborative tools – project management, group tools, CRM, extended enterprise solutions
- End user lists on favorites this or that, with video as an option or mp3 for example with sites, with other end users commenting, ratings, etc
- Integration with Skype (again, one vendor does this), so you can make calls from within to other Skype end users who are within the system, text messages too
- Live casting
- Peer to Peer Sharing of files or business spreadsheets, or product videos, etc. between end users, whether via groups or not
- Slideshare presentation functionality
- Greater use of APIs and Mashups that add new social learning functionality, whatever you think up
#4 Rapid Content Authoring Tools
- A continuing and growing market, more vendors
- Call to numerous vendors in the space, report strong business in January, really good numbers
- Based on feedback, comments and interest from end users, this is a hot market
- Some solutions really becoming a turnkey PowerPoint to Flash product with minimal features or very basic
- A slow but steady growth of vendors adding advanced features targeting higher tech skills, such as adding CSS
- Simulation tools that are aiming for the rapid content authoring tool audience, easy to use, some features, but not overly robust; are appearing
- SAAS based growing, with a few vendors – equally growing – enabling people to see the courses and add feedback, while it is being developed
- High number of vendors who have no support community for their end users; or offer a quick reference card for end users (one vendor has a PDF containing over 50 pages. Who is going to read that?)
- Very few vendors have an immediate multilingual functionality, so with one pull down click, the program will switch to another language. I still do not understand, why everyone thinks the entire world prefers and wants to use only English, rather than their native language.
#5 Emerging Technology
I'm still surprised at the number of vendors who are not truly understanding what "integration" with APIs or Mashups truly means from the end user perspective. Really it is quite simple.
The end user creates on their own or goes and locates APIs and Mashups (two or more APIs) and can integrate them into your system. Either you can do this or you cannot. Simple, yes or no.
I'm glad to report that there is an increase in the ability of vendors to enable this to happen, but it is still very slow and I'm not sure why. Especially when from the vendor side, they already are accepting APIs, just not yours. So, the argument they cannot do it – frankly it bogus.
I'd love to tell you that a mass number of vendors are incorporating emerging technology into their products, but alas it is not to be. Oh, sure there is a sprinkle, the aforementioned vendor with the voice capability in their product geared towards higher education; another who has added the ability to add social learning functionality into a CMS, with video off initial live streaming and metadata too, but it is few and far between.
But for the most part, most have not. I surmise they are just waiting or being ignorant, which for some, is a combination of both.
When it comes down to it, emerging technology ties into all of the above four indicators in one way or another. The key is seeing what is possible, what is right now appearing to be impossible and then going forward it.
After all, there is a vendor who said to themselves, that everyone's' blog in their system, looks nothing like a real blog. So, they went out, grabbed the WordPress component, stuck that into their system.
Now, when people use it, it actually looks like a real blog; plus what the end users type, appears to everyone in the real world, because the blog is live.
We need more of that. So, here to those who are getting it.
Because change is coming, and if the world has shown us anything these past few weeks, you cannot stop the movement once it begins.

Published: June 20, 2007
Updated: June 20, 2007
One of the most common disorders of childhood is inflammation of the middle ear called otitis media. Usually this problem occurs because of improper functioning of the Eustachian tube. This tube, running from the back of the mouth to the middle ear, normally opens during yawning and swallowing and provides fresh air to the middle ear cavity behind the eardrum. This exchange of air is necessary to keep the middle ear functioning properly. Often a cleft of the palate affects the muscles controlling the opening of the Eustachian tube. For children with cleft palate, the Eustachian tube frequently does not open properly and inflammation and/or the accumulation of fluid may result because of the resulting trapped air in the middle ear.
Nearly every child with a cleft palate is likely to experience several bouts of otitis media. Middle ear problems are greatest in young children before they have received surgery to repair their cleft palate. For most children, cleft palate surgery significantly reduces the amount of middle ear problems. For others, however, little change is noticed after surgery. For all children, the likelihood of otitis media decreases as they get older.
It is essential for you to be alert to signs which may indicate that your child has a middle ear problem. These signs include tugging or rubbing an ear, unusual fussiness, and fever. If it is not detected early, an ear infection may create pressure on the eardrum and a severe earache can result. Whenever a middle ear problem is suspected, your child should be taken to a physician for an ear examination and appropriate treatment.
Often otitis media will clear up after several days of taking prescribed antibiotics. However, for some children, especially those with a cleft palate, medication alone may not be sufficient. If the child has repeated bouts of otitis media, ventilation tubes may be necessary. In this treatment an ear doctor (otolaryngologist) makes a small surgical incision in the ear drum and inserts a ventilation tube in the hole to keep it open. This tube permits fluid behind the ear drum to drain and also allows fresh air to pass into the middle ear cavity. The ventilating tube is an effective substitute when the Eustachian tube is not functioning normally. A number of factors influence how long a ventilation tube remains in place, six to 12 months is about average.
Properly treated otitis media rarely causes permanent damage to the ear, but temporary hearing loss is common. A temporary hearing loss can be a significant problem because repeated episodes of hearing loss in a young child can affect speech and language development. Fluctuating hearing loss resulting from frequent middle ear problems has also been implicated in reducing a child's level of performance in school. Because the degree of hearing loss can fluctuate with the severity of the middle ear problem, in a matter of a few days a child's hearing can decrease from normal hearing to a significant hearing loss. Since a cleft palate increases the chances of otitis media, your child's hearing and ears should be monitored very closely.
It can be difficult to detect ear problems in young infants because sometimes otitis media does not cause much pain. When this happens the only sign of an ear problem may be your child's reduced ability to hear. Of course, a young infant cannot tell us about changes in hearing, so it becomes necessary to do some simple tests at home. Older children should be able to repeat whispered words. If a decrease in hearing is suspected, try making soft sounds behind your child and observe the responses. It is a good idea to do this regularly to develop a feel for how well your child responds when his/her hearing is normal.
If a hearing loss is suspected an audiologist can perform more scientific hearing tests. Testing can also help determine whether the Eustachian tubes, ear drums, and ventilation tubes are functioning normally. This testing can be conducted on children of any age. With very young infants, hearing is measured by recording changes in brain waves when sounds are presented. As the child gets older he or she can indicate hearing by making a behavioral response, such as turning the head, putting a ring on a spindle, or pointing to body parts. It is not necessary to wait until your child is two or three years of age before hearing can be evaluated.

Levels of Readiness Advocating for a color-coded tagging scheme for system inspections
NFPA Journal, March/April 2010
Pending changes for the 2011 edition of NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, lend themselves to a four-color tagging scheme for identifying the condition of a water-based system following a system inspection. The new scheme is made possible by changes that recognize "critical deficiencies" and "non-critical deficiencies" alongside traditional "impairments" as conditions that might prevent a system from being considered in a full and proper state of readiness. These new definitions, along with an Annex E that includes tables of sample classifications, will be presented to the NFPA membership at the June 2010 Conference & Expo®.
January - February 2010 A look at two decades of NFPA 13R
November - December 2009 Recalling three big years in the development of automatic sprinklers.
September - October 2009 The case for global use of hydraulic calculations for sprinkler systems
July - August 2009 Big changes in the world of storage sprinklers
May - June 2009 Improving on 95% reliability for sprinklers
March - April 2009 Reconsidering the idea of interconnected risers
The new terms have long been needed. There is a huge difference between a system impairment that prevents a system from functioning in the event of a fire and a minor deficiency such as an illegible placard or missing sprinkler escutcheon. This has produced difficulties in jurisdictions that have made good-faith efforts to enforce the provisions of NFPA 25 but have been trying to use a red/green system indicating problems or no problems. Building owners can be inconvenienced when no differentiation is made between minor deficiencies and major problems, since rigid enforcement can lead to a loss of use or costly alternative protection measures.
The proposed four categories roughly relate to the "ready" condition of full compliance along with the possibility of corrections that must be addressed either within a reasonable period of time, promptly, or immediately. These four possibilities easily relate to a four-color tagging system of green, yellow, orange, and red.
Tagging is already mentioned in the 2008 edition of NFPA 25 with regard to system impairments. Such tags, specified in Chapter 15 covering impairments, are traditionally red, signaling an emergency. They are used to indicate that a system, or part thereof, has been removed from service. Underground service mains, fire pumps, water storage tanks, and control valves that are not in service are considered impaired equipment since they are vital to the operation of the system. Impairments can be planned or the result of emergencies such as system leakage, interruption of water supply, frozen or ruptured piping, or equipment failure. Where a required fire protection system is out of service for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period, NFPA 25 currently requires that an impairment coordinator make special arrangements. This could include evacuating the building or portion of the building affected by the impairment, establishing a fire watch or temporary water supply, or implementing a program to eliminate potential ignition sources and limit the available fuel.
As proposed, the next edition of NFPA 25 would define a "deficiency," for the purposes of inspecting water-based fire protection systems, as "a condition in which a system or portion thereof is damaged, inoperable, or in need of service, but does not rise to the level of an impairment." A "critical deficiency" is further defined as a "deficiency that, if not corrected, can have an effect on the performance of the fire protection system." A "non-critical deficiency" is defined as a "deficiency that does not have an effect on the performance of the fire protection system, but correction is needed for the proper inspection, testing, and maintenance of the system(s)."
Although the proposed Annex E will present an example of a classification system that can be used to organize the various findings of a system inspection, the technical committee expects that various enforcement authorities will differ in the ways they categorize their findings. It is possible that, in future editions, efforts will be made to standardize such categorization to help authorities enforce NFPA 25.
Russ Fleming, P.E., is the executive vice-president of the National Fire Sprinkler Assocaition and a member of the NFPA Technical Correlating Committee on Automatic Sprinklers.

William Taylor of Centreville, Va., got caught getting a little action on the side when he forgot to remove the incriminating evidence from his cell phone.
After finding the proof, his wife doled out a rather interesting punishment -- she forced him to stand at one of the busiest intersections in the D.C. metropolitan area wearing a sandwich board telling everyone he's a cheater.
Consider it a modern-day version of a scarlet letter -- humiliating, but less catastrophic than some scorned women's destructive revenge tactics. Of course, what saves this marriage could ruin others, if it gives other wives some vengeful ideas.
"I thought she was kidding, but she was serious," Taylor said. "I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am."
His punishment is set to last all week. Each day when morning rush hour winds down, William gets a text from his wife, giving him permission to stop the public humiliation for the day, although repeat sightings of Taylor suggest this is at least a week-long punishment. Those daily texts will probably make him happier than all the ones he got from his mistress combined.
Update: A local radio station has taken credit for this for as a publicity stunt. We're more disappointed than surprised. Still, maybe it will inspire a real-life woman scorned and give us something to look forward to.

Field and Theoretical Techniques to Investigate the Fundamental Processes Driving Large-Scale Continental Deformation
I use both field and theoretical techniques to investigate the fundamental processes driving large-scale continental deformation. It is important to understand these processes because over tens of millions of years they, in combination with surface erosional processes, are responsible for shaping the earth as we know it: the configuration of the continents, the locations and sizes of mountain belts, and the regions of significant earthquake and volcanic hazards.
Mountain belts occur when the forces exerted on plates exceed the intrinsic strength of plates (the ability of plates to resist deformation). Such forces can be due to plate interactions (boundary forces), density differences within plate interiors (buoyancy forces), or due to motions in the convecting mantle under the plates. Determining the relative importance of these forces is fundamental to understanding the dynamics of continental deformation. I am particularly interested in the western United States deformation (e.g. Rocky Mountains, Basin and Range), because this region is far from the plate boundary, so that boundary forces are unlikely to be responsible for creating the mountains in these areas. My colleagues and I have calculated the distribution of buoyancy forces in the western United States. We show that, given available constraints on lithospheric strength, buoyancy forces are sufficient to produce the wide variety of rates and styles of observed deformation (including its absence in some locations like the Colorado Plateau). Thus plate boundary forces, while probably present, are not required to drive active deformation in the western United States east of California. Current work is under way to understand the relationship of present and passt deformation in the Western United States to the available driving forces and lithospheric strength.
I am also interested in understanding strike-slip deformation. In some, but not all, large strike-slip faults, paleomagnetism has demonstrated that crustal blocks are rotated around vertical axes as much as 90-100 degrees. However, the controls on the distribution along and across strike are poorly understood. Such information is important in understanding whether crustal blocks are driven by forces on their sides, similar to ball bearings, or by shearing underneath of ductilely deforming parts of the lithosphere; it also helps to constrain the strength of the continental lithosphere. In the Las Vegas Valley Shear Zone, Nevada, and in Sardinia, Italy, I and my colleagues have found paleomagnetic evidence for rotations that systematically decrease away from the major faults. However, in other strike-slip fault zones, other workers have found that crustal blocks rotate uniformly, like sets of dominoes. Why are there such fundamental differences in behavior? Mathematical modelling using both continuum and distinct element approaches is helping us to understand the dynamics of such deformation, in particular the controls on the size of blocks and the physical mechanisms for crustal block rotations.

Michael Palascak
Michael Palascak (Pal-a-sack) really likes to make people laugh--mostly because it keeps them from asking why he still lives at home with his parents. This young comedian from the Midwest grew up in Wabash, Indiana—"The First Electrically Lighted City in the World." Most recently Michael performed at The TBS Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago. He also performed at Caesar's Palace in The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas and was the winner of HBO's Lucky 21 Stand-up Contest. He also won the Chicago region of Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight and went on to make his Comedy Central debut on Live at Gotham this summer.
Having trained at The Second City in Chicago, IO, and Annoyance, Michael also recently debuted his one-person sketch show in Chicago--Pursuing Happiness: A bunch of scenes about people that moved out of their parents' house, got a real job, and got married. Performed by a guy who didn't.
Onstage he shares hilarious, relatable moments about living at home with his parents and avoiding as much "real world" responsibility as possible. His affable, self-effacing persona allows audiences to laugh a lot. Michael has been heard on Q101's The Ryan and Kevin Manno Program and seen on The Bob and Tom Show. Michael has been seen on WGN—The Bozo Show, Age 9, Large Boot Relay Team Blue (Runner-up).
In his free time, Michael plays baseball, watches TV, and compliments his mother on her cooking. Michael dedicates his entire career to his late orange and black goldfish named Tiger that did flips whenever its favorite TV show came on. Michael swears Tiger did a flip. At least once.

Sponsor a Pre-born Baby... Let God use you to save a life...
Jesus Loves the Babies
His heart breaks over 4,000 times a day at the needless destruction and pain of the unborn by abortion. Who will hear the cry of God's heart for these helpless ones?Begin Your Sponsorship Today Change a Baby's Destiny Forever
As a Mission: Pre-Born sponsor, you stand in the gap for an unborn baby and a desperate young mother with real compassion. Each month we will send you an ultrasound picture and story telling how the life was touched. Your support of $28.00 each month (less than $1.00 a day), provides hope to these young moms, a free life saving ultrasound & practical, compassionate counseling and care.Christ centered
Evangelism is the core of our mission. If a mom is saved, the baby may be raised in a Christian home and may come to Jesus later in life.Church-based
All the centers we work with are partners with the churches of their communities.Committed to integrity
Mission: Pre-Born ensures all financial operations practice adhere to the highest federal accounting standards for non-profit organizations. 78% of our funds go directly into the work of saving lives at local centers.When you sponsor an unborn child, you'll be literally giving him or her the gift of life. When a young woman, faced with an unplanned pregnancy, sees her baby on an ultrasound, she will choose life (instead of abortion) 80% of the time. Without the ultrasound, 1 out of every 3 unborn babies perish. Your sponsorship of a life-saving, free ultrasound for this mom and baby is often her only hope. When the mom hears her baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound, she connects in a powerful way that encourages her to make the often difficult choice to keep the baby.
As a sponsor of an unborn child, you are also helping the young mother with maternity clothes, baby clothes, diapers, and formula. More importantly, your sponsorship gives the young mother an opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Your love not only saves the life of an unborn child, but often the mother becomes a Christian as well!
Here is how to begin:
Fill out the response information and mail it to Mission: Pre-Born in the enclosed envelope. Or if you wish, you can visit our website and sign up on-line at www.mpreborn.org. When you sponsor a baby and a mom, each month you will receive an ultrasound picture and a true account of a life saved by the sponsorship program.

For Ford Motor Co. the last week of July stood "as probably the greatest one-week energy conservation program that came out of Washington ever," George Pipas, Ford's U.S. sales analyst, said Monday during the company's monthly vehicle sales conference call, referring to the huge boost in sales received from the "Cash for Clunkers" program.
The program caused "a stampede to the showrooms," according to General Motors Co.
It has caused the carmakers to revise upward their annual sales estimates by as much as 1 million units, particularly if the Senate adds another $2 billion to the $1 billion already granted. The legislation was approved by the House last week but awaits action by the Senate and President Obama's signature (AMM, Aug. 3).
