Navy dismisses chaplain who prayed 'in Jesus' name'A U.S. Navy chaplain who prayed "in Jesus' name" as his conscience dictated is being ejected from the military service "in retaliation" for his victorious battle to change Navy policy that required religious rites be "non-sectarian." "This fight cost me everything. My career is over, my family is now homeless, we've lost a million dollar pension, but Congress agreed with me and rescinded the Navy policy, so chaplains are free again to pray in Jesus' name," Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt told WND. "My sacrifice purchased their freedom. My conscience is clear, the fight was worth it, and I'd do it all again." Klingenschmitt, as WND has reported, has fought an extended battle with the Navy over its restrictions on religious expression by its chaplains. He appeared and delivered a public prayer "in Jesus' name" at a White House rally last winter and was court-martialed for that. The Navy convicted him of failing to follow a lawful order because his superior didn't want him praying "in Jesus' name." He's also launched a legal battle that he said he hopes eventually will result in his reinstatement, alleging the Navy assembled a "civic religion" by ordering its chaplains to pray in a certain way. | Euro displaces dollar in bond marketsThe euro has displaced the US dollar as the world’s pre-eminent currency in international bond markets, having outstripped the dollar-denominated market for the second year in a row. The data consolidate news last month that the value of euro notes in circulation had overtaken the dollar for the first time. Outstanding debt issued in the euro was worth the equivalent of $4,836bn at the end of 2006 compared with $3,892bn for the dollar, according to International Capital Market Association data. Outstanding euro-denominated debt accounts for 45 per cent of the international - or cross-border - market, compared with 37 per cent for the dollar. New issuance last year accounted for 49 per cent of the global total. | Pentagon Viewing Americans' Bank RecordsWASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon and to a lesser extent the CIA have been using a little-known power to look at the banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage within the United States, officials said Saturday. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Saturday the Defense Department "makes requests for information under authorities of the National Security Letter statutes ... but does not use the specific term National Security Letter in its investigatory practice." Whitman did not indicate the number of requests that have been made in recent years, but said authorities operate under the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the National Security Act. | Military Expands Intelligence Role in U.S.WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 — The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering. The C.I.A. has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say. Banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions receiving the letters usually have turned over documents voluntarily, allowing investigators to examine the financial assets and transactions of American military personnel and civilians, officials say. The F.B.I., the lead agency on domestic counterterrorism and espionage, has issued thousands of national security letters since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, provoking criticism and court challenges from civil liberties advocates who see them as unjustified intrusions into Americans’ private lives. | Putin Orders Warships Away From US East Coast Ahead Of Iran Attack By AmericaRussian Military Analysts are reporting today that President Putin has signed an order for all Russian Naval and Merchant vessels to be out of US port facilities on the Eastern Coast of the United States by March 17th. This order, according to these reports, are in anticipation of a US/Israeli led attack upon Iran expected no later than the end of April. The dates set by the Western Nations for their attack upon Iran are due to the stepping aside from power of the American War Leaders last Western Ally, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is due to leave office this spring, and as we can further read as reported by China’s State Media Service Xinhua in their report titled "Kuwait media: U.S. military strike on Iran seen by April", and which says: "U.S. might launch a military strike on Iran before April 2007, Kuwait-based daily Arab Times released on Sunday said in a report. The report, written by Arab Times' Editor-in-chief Ahmed al-Jarallah citing a reliable source, said that the attack would be launched from the sea, while Patriot missiles would guard all Arab countries in the Gulf. | Animal Tags for People?Under the federally supported National Animal Identification System (NAIS), digital tags are expected to be affixed to the U.S.'s 40 million farm animals to enable regulators to track and respond quickly to disease, bioterrorism, and other calamities. Opponents have many fears about this plan, among them that it could be the forerunner of a similar system for humans. The theory, circulated in blogs, goes like this: You test it on the animals first, demonstrating the viability of the radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs) to monitor each and every animal's movements and health history from birth to death, and then move on to people. | U.S., Mexico, Canada 'harmonizing' policiesWASHINGTON – The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which some have criticized as a framework for moving toward regional government between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, has laid out plans for increased regulatory cooperation between the three nations in new, full-color, trilingual publications obtained by WND. Copies of the "2005 Report to Leaders" and the "2006 Report to Leaders" were sent to WND by several congressional offices that are beginning to take a serious interest in SPP working group activities and decision-making. The copyright page of the 2005 report indicates that the report was co-published by the governments of the United States and Mexico, as well as copyrighted in Canada. The 2005 and 2006 reports continue to discuss numerous memoranda of understanding and other agreements that the trilateral working groups are formulating on their own, without direct congressional oversight or any reference to being published in the Federal Register. Yet, the vast majority of the agreements reached under SPP have never been published. | Iran, Venezuela agree to thwart ‘US domination’Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said they were ready to spend billions of dollars (euros) financing projects in other countries to help thwart US domination. The anti-US Presidents whose efforts to extend their influence have alarmed Washington met Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, the first stop on Ahmadinejad’s tour of Latin America that will also see him visit newly elected leftist leaders in Nicaragua and Ecuador. The oil-rich nations had previously announced plans for a joint USD 2 billion fund to finance investments in Venezuela and Iran, but Chavez and Ahmadinejad said Saturday that the money would also be used for projects in friendly third countries. | Battle won for students' free-speech rightsOne of the high schools profiled in a WND report about educators censoring free speech because of its Christian and pro-life content has recanted, and now will allow the distribution of those messages on the same basis as other messages, according to a law firm involved in the disagreement. Lawyers for the Alliance Defense Fund said Penn Cambria high school and Penn Cambria School District officials have decided that messages including those relating to the student-led Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity, a project of Stand True Ministries, now will be treated as other communications within the district. There's also progress in two other cases in Virginia and New York, but no final resolutions yet, ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman told WND. As reported earlier, officials in the Penn Cambria school in Cresson, Pa., had erected bans to free speech when 16-year-old sophomore Sarah Hollen wanted to take part in Stand True's "3rd Annual Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity." Along with classmates and outside of instruction time, she wanted to silently distribute fliers containing text advocating against abortion. | Google Earth map marks Temple Mount PalestinianJERUSALEM – While Jerusalem serves as Israel's capital, and the Temple Mount is located within Israeli sovereignty, the popular satellite map program Google Earth divides the city and places the Mount – Judaism's holiest site – within Palestinian territory. Interactive Google Earth maps mark eastern sections of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as "occupied territory," set to become part of a future Palestinian state. Google Earth states it demarcates its maps according to international standards, but no Israeli-Palestinian negotiations – even the failed Camp David final-status negotiations in 2000 – ever placed the Temple Mount within Palestinian territory. | Russian missiles delivered to Iran: IvanovMOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has delivered new anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran and will consider further requests by Tehran for defensive weapons, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said on Tuesday. "We have supplied the modern short-range anti-aircraft systems TOR-M1 in accordance with our contracts," Ivanov told reporters. "Iran is not under sanctions and if it wants to buy defensive ... equipment for its armed forces then why not?" A defense ministry source later told Reuters deliveries of hardware under the $1 billion deal, which has been criticised by the West, have not yet been completed. | Scientists prepare to move Doomsday Clock forwardWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The keepers of the "Doomsday Clock" plan to move its hands forward next Wednesday to reflect what they call worsening nuclear and climate threats to the world. The symbolic clock, maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, currently is set at seven minutes to midnight, with midnight marking global catastrophe. The group did not say in which direction the hands would move. But in a news release previewing an event next Wednesday, they said the change was based on "worsening nuclear, climate threats" to the world. "The major new step reflects growing concerns about a 'Second Nuclear Age' marked by grave threats, including: nuclear ambitions in Iran and North Korea, unsecured nuclear materials in Russia and elsewhere, the continuing 'launch-ready' status of 2,000 of the 25,000 nuclear weapons held by the U.S. and Russia, escalating terrorism, and new pressure from climate change for expanded civilian nuclear power that could increase proliferation risks," the release reads. | NBC Joins CBS in Blatant Mocking of ChristianityWASHINGTON, Jan. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- "The NBC and CBS television networks may be rival corporations, but they have one thing in common," said Douglas R. Scott, Jr., president of Life Decisions International (LDI)." Both networks have allowed programming that blatantly mocks Christianity." An episode of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," which was taped on January 10, 2007 and aired early this morning, featured a character called "the homophobic country western singer." "Our last new character's heart is in the right place, even if he's a complete idiot," said show host O'Brien in his introduction. "Please welcome…the homophobic country western singer." | Legalized polygamy, here we comeWhen Canada's Parliament last fall legalized same-sex marriage, the sponsors of the legislation were effusive in their reassurances that this was in no sense a precedent for polygamy. Less than three months after the bill was passed, that reassurance was demolished last week by the Ontario Court of Appeal. Reversing the ruling of a trial judge, the court decided that a child could have three legal parents, in this case his lesbian birth mother and her "wife" of 16 years, plus the father who donated the sperm and has taken an active role in raising the boy, now 5. How three people could be the legal parents of a child, without there being a three-person marriage, was a question the court did not contend with, though it would clearly follow from the decision. | Invisible RFID Ink Safe For Cattle And People, Company Says A startup company developing chipless RFID ink has tested its product on cattle and laboratory rats. Somark Innovations announced this week that it successfully tested biocompatible RFID ink, which can be read through animal hairs. The passive RFID technology could be used to identify and track cows to reduce financial losses from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (mad cow disease) scares. Somark, which formed in 2005, is located at the Center for Emerging Technologies in St. Louis. The company is raising Series A equity financing and plans to license the technology to secondary markets, which could include laboratory animals, dogs, cats, prime cuts of meat, and military personnel. | Super Soldiers: Tomorrow's 'Army of One' Technology Within three years, soldiers could begin testing futuristic devices that make them each "an army of one" by granting them unprecedented capabilities, such as the ability to see through walls thanks to advanced radar scopes and super-protection and super-strength conferred by high-tech armor. Although some of the technologies could take years to reach actual battlefields, novel devices developed by the U.S. Army's Future Force Warrior initiative such as advanced sound equipment and smarter lasers should be available to active soldiers as soon as 2010, promising to make them more lethal than ever. They'll also be better protected. For example, current armor can keep bullets and shrapnel from wounding soldiers directly, but they can carry shock waves to the body that can break ribs and cause other injuries. Improvements will provide a more protective 2-inch gap between soldiers and their armor. | Los Angeles Catholic Archdiocese Uses the Christian Fish Symbol for Homosexual SolidarityBUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Christian fish symbol is an ancient and sacred symbol for the persecuted Christians in the 1st century, as well as contemporary believers in Christ. But that symbol which showed that Christians identified with each other in their obedience to follow Christ is taking on a whole new meaning. The Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, as one of their ministries, ‘Ministry with Lesbians and Gay Catholics’ decided to make the sacred fish symbol into a rainbow fish symbol pin. | How secular donors move church agendaThe National Council of Churches is becoming financially beholden to secular groups with liberal political leanings, according to a report by a religious watchdog organization. The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a group formed by members of the NCC, says the group accepted the majority of its charitable donations last year from nonreligious organizations and has been pursuing an agenda that does not mesh with the majority of its church members, including support for abortion and homosexual "marriage." "We found numerous common themes among the dozens of nonchurch entities from which the church council has recently sought or received funding," said John Lomperis, a research associate with IRD who co-wrote the group's report on the NCC. | Al Qaeda Deepens Presence Around Israel (IsraelNN.com) Al Qaeda is increasing its presence in 3 of the 4 states neighboring Israel – Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, according to Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, Head of the Directorate of Military Intelligence ('Aman'). "Dozens, perhaps hundreds of Al Qaeda men have reached Lebanon," said Yadlin Tuesday. "The men are trained and possess terrorist knowledge," said Yadlin, adding that the assumption was that Aiman Al-Zwahiri, Al Qaeda's no. 2 person, had given the order for the terror organization's men to spread out in the three Arab countries. Yadlin said the Al Qaeda terrorists in Lebanon posed a threat mostly to UNIFIL and western interests in Lebanon. He added that a small number of Al Qaeda men had reached Gaza, and that the IDF had arrested several Al Qaeda terrorists in the Shechem area in Samaria. He was speaking before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Tuesday. | War with Iran is imminentIn addition to moving additional military forces into the region, President Bush is putting into place a new political and military command team, all in preparation for an expanded war in the Middle East. We have already noted that the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) aircraft carrier battle group is heading to the Persian Gulf to join the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) aircraft carrier battle group currently on station there. Additionally, the USS Boxer (LHD 4) amphibious assault ship, the flagship of the Boxer Expeditionary Strike Group, is on station in the Persian Gulf. On January 4, 2007, the USS Bataan (LHD 5), the command ship of the Bataan Expeditionary Strike Group, departed from Norfolk, Va., headed for forward deployment. Typically, we would expect the USS Bataan to replace the USS Boxer in normal rotation. Even if that is the destination of the USS Bataan, we would have two amphibious strike forces in the Gulf as the rotation is completed. | Some Americans Expect Jesus' Second Coming in 2007One in four Americans anticipates the second coming of Christ in 2007. This is one several predictions made by Americans in a recent poll for the new year. A poll by Ipsos, an international polling firm, found that 11 percent of respondents said it is "very likely" that Jesus will return to Earth this year and 14 percent said it was "somewhat likely." Among white evangelical Christians, 46 percent said it's at least somewhat likely that Jesus will return in 2007 compared to 17 percent of Catholics and 10 percent of those with no religion. Overall, 25 percent said it was "not too likely" that Jesus will make his second coming this year and 42 percent said it was "not at all likely." | Wide Berth Allowed on Teaching About HomosexualityMontgomery County's overhaul of its sex education curriculum, which has inspired a lawsuit, petition drives, national news coverage and the formation of fiercely polarized community groups, was itself inspired by two words buried deep within the regulatory code of Maryland, which advises school systems to teach "sexual variations." The county school system invoked those regulations in defense of disputed new lessons that introduce students to sexual orientation and transgenderism in grades eight and 10. Neither Maryland nor Virginia requires school systems to teach about sexual orientation, state officials said. Maryland's stipulation that schools teach sexual variations as one of several "areas of emphasis" in health classes is open to broad interpretation. Montgomery's new curriculum, approved last week for field tests this spring, goes deeper into sexual and gender identity than most other Washington area school systems have dared, judging by an informal survey. Some Northern Virginia systems don't teach about sexual orientation, and Maryland systems generally broach the topic in less detail or at the request of a curious student. Information from D.C. schools was not available. | Congressman battles North AmericanizationRep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., is preparing to introduce a series of House resolutions aimed at stopping the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America from integrating the continent into a trilateral U.S.-Mexico-Canada structure of administrative law. Goode also intends to block the previously undisclosed, but already signed, Social Security agreement to "totalize" U.S. Social Security benefits with legal and illegal Mexicans working in the U.S. "I hope our effort will be successful in stopping the implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership," Goode told WND. "If we are not successful in stopping SPP, we are going to see further erosion in the sovereignty of our country." As WND previously has reported, SPP has laid out plans for increased regulatory cooperation between the three nations in new, full-color, trilingual publications of the 2005 and 2006 SPP Reports to Leaders, which is archived in electronic form on the Department of Commerce SPP website. | Border agents sent to prison Amid protests and a flurry of last-minute efforts by congressmen, two border patrol agents are scheduled today to begin long prison sentences for shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler who was granted full immunity to testify against them. In an interview with WND, an angry Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., called President Bush a "disgrace" for refusing to pardon Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos, who were sentenced to 12 years and 11 years, respectively, in October. With hopes for a presidential pardon dwindling, the lawmakers had requested that Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez assist in a motion to keep the agents free on bond during the appeals process. But late yesterday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone in El Paso, Texas, ruled the men must surrender to federal marshals at 2 p.m. Mountain Time today. "This is the worst betrayal of American defenders I have ever seen," Rohrabacher told WND, referring to the president. "It's shameful this was done by someone who is in the Republican Party. He obviously thinks more about his agreements with Mexico than the lives of American people and backing up his defenders." The California lawmaker, who has helped lead efforts to obtain a pardon, charged the Bush administration has been playing a "cruel game." Initially, he said, officials insisted the agents could not be pardoned because they had not filled out the proper paperwork. But Rohrabacher told WND the White House did not explain to the public that the agents were being required – without justification, he contended – to first admit guilt. | Russia Deploys More Police After ThreatMOSCOW (AP) -- Russia stepped up security in major cities Wednesday, deploying thousands of extra police and urging public vigilance a day after officials warned of a possible terrorist threat on public transportation. In Moscow, which was last hit by terrorist attacks in officials took the unusual step of ordering cell phone service shut off in the subway system. The measure appeared to be an effort to avert the possibility of explosives being detonated by the phones. Uniformed police, some with bomb-sniffing dogs, patrolled subway and train stations as well as other sites around Moscow, checking documents and standing guard at entrances. Public announcements asked passengers to be on alert for suspicious items. Moscow's three main international airports introduced stricter passenger checks and additional police patrols of terminal buildings, news agencies reported. | Iran shoots down U.S. spy drone amid growing military pressureTEHRAN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iranian troops have shot down a U.S. pilotless spy plane recently, an Iranian lawmaker announced on Tuesday as the Islamic Republic was facing increasing military pressure from its arch rival -- the United States. The aircraft was brought down when it was trying to cross the borders "during the last few days," Seyed Nezam Mola Hoveizeh, a member of the parliament, was quoted by the local Fars News Agency as saying. The lawmaker gave no exact date of the shooting-down or any other details about the incident, but he said that "the United States sent such spy drones to the region every now and then." | Evangelicals Warned to Beware of ObamaWASHINGTON, Jan. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Rob Schenck, President of the National Clergy Council and head of its affiliate, Faith and Action, a Washington, DC-based Christian outreach to policy-makers on Capitol Hill has updated and re-released an in-depth examination of the religious beliefs of Sen. Barack Obama titled, "Barack Obama: Sheep or Goat?" Sources close to the Illinois Democrat announced that he will be filing the necessary paperwork today with the Federal Election Commission in Washington, D.C. to begin a presidential campaign. Obama has been widely touted as able to win the support of values voters. He has openly discussed his faith in his writings and media appearances, suggesting that it will guide him in policy decisions. | Many faiths preach one messageA Muslim imam, the archbishop of Miami, a rabbi and a Protestant minister met at a Miami Beach synagogue Wednesday night to talk about a religious figure who inspired them all: Pope John Paul II. They were among the nearly 500 clergy and lay people who gathered at Temple Emanu-El to celebrate Pope John Paul II's historic visit to a Rome synagogue more than 20 years ago, when he became the first Roman Catholic pontiff to visit a Jewish temple. ''His visit represents a model for recognizing the holiness in the other,'' Rabbi Fred Klein, director of Community Chaplaincy for the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, said in an interview. ``I can have a truth claim without having that claim negate someone else's truth claim.'' Klein joined Miami Archbishop John Favalora, Imam Nasir Ahmad of Masjid Al-Ansar and the Rev. Priscilla Felisky Whitehead, a United Church of Christ minister, for a panel discussion on how the pope's gesture has shaped interfaith relations. | RFID World View Spotlights Aussie AdvancementsDespite RFID’s popularity, not all countries are eagerly adopting it. The countries that are widely using RFID are doing so in quite varied ways. According to Teresa Henry at IDTechEx (www.idtechex.com), the US is by far the largest adopter of RFID. It has the largest number of cases of RFID in action. In addition, its orders tend to be the world’s largest in value. According to just RFID case studies, the United Kingdom holds second place behind the US. In terms of money spent, however, that title goes to China—with Korea and Japan offering fierce competition. Just one year ago, however, the RFID landscape looked quite different. Australia, for example, is quickly climbing the ranks to become one of the most active countries for RFID (see figure). | The latest threat to freedom is a national ID programThe Real ID is a real problem, a real assault on freedom and privacy, a real multibillion-dollar boondoggle, and a real bureaucratic nightmare. Signed into law by President Bush in May 2005 following its enactment by the U.S. Congress, the Real ID Act forces states to convert state drivers' licenses into national identity cards no later than 2008. Initially the card will be required to access federal buildings and airports, among other locations. States are required to follow stringent and costly requirements before issuing the cards, including participation in a 50-state, interlinked database making all information in a person's file available to all other states and the federal government. | Social Security Administration Uses Intermec RFID TechnologyEVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intermec Inc. (NYSE:IN) announced today that its RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is being used by the United States Social Security Administration to improve data collection accuracy and reduce labor costs. The SSA deployed Intermec RFID hardware in its Supply Chain Management program to fulfill more than 42,000 orders for forms, publications and other documents each year and ship 240,000 line items to SSA office locations worldwide. Operating from an 80,000 square-foot supply building at SSA headquarters in Woodlawn, Md., the agency implemented a paperless warehouse management control system upgrade that integrates Intermec’s IP3, IP4 and 1555 portable RFID readers and PM4i printers with RFID software from Intermec Honours Partner System Concepts and warehouse management system software from Radio Beacon. The system tracks and validates each warehouse operation and incorporates workload scheduling software to optimize employee productivity and provide control over the inventory management processes. | EU's Solana calls Mideast peace agreement by end of 2007Cairo - European Union chief diplomat Javier Solana and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit in Cairo on Thursday called on Israel and the Palestinians to reach a peace agreement by the end of 2007. During the short visit by Solana to Egypt, both ministers also called on the United States to aim for progress in the conflict by the end of the year, as the time before the 2008 elections acted as a 'window' of opportunity in which the parties to the conflict could find agreement on fundamental issues. Solana said that the region needed to reach an 'end of the game.' Solana, who earlier Thursday also met Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, is to continue his tour in Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan. | Arizona Bill Would Legalize Assisted Suicide, Pro-Life Groups OpposedPhoenix, AZ (LifeNews.com) -- A bill introduced in the Arizona state legislature would attempt to make the southwestern state the second in the nation to legalize assisted suicide. Other states such as Vermont and California may also see battles this legislative session to join Oregon in allowing the grisly practice. A group of Democratic legislators introduced the measure that would allow doctors to help patients suffering from incurable illnesses kill themselves. The bill would put in place protocols for assisted suicides and patients would have to make the request in writing as well as orally. They must be declared competent to make such a decision and have a medically confirmed illness. In an attempt to legitimize assisted suicide, the proposal also prohibits euthanasia and would punish those who actively kill patients without their consent. It also includes conscience clauses for doctors, medical personnel and pharmacists who don't want to be involved in the assisted suicide. | U.S. parkway leased to Aussie firmA decision by the Virginia Department of Transportation to lease the Pocahontas Parkway to an Australian investment consortium is drawing sharp criticism from opponents of public-private partnerships promoted by the Federal Highway Administration. The VDOT signed a comprehensive agreement June 29, 2006, to lease the 8.8 mile Pocahontas Parkway toll road for 99-years to Transurban, an Australian investment consortium, for a one-time payment of $548 million and an agreement to construct a 1.58 mile, four-lane extension to Richmond International Airport. The extension of the Pocahontas Parkway is pending a decision of the of the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide a $150 million construction credit to Transurban under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, or TIFIA. | Air Force colonel reports lights 'not of this world'In the wake of reports of unidentified objects flying over Chicago's O'Hare Airport, a retired Air Force pilot has his own mystery with a rash of bright, colorful lights he photographed hovering in skies over western Arkansas last week. "I believe these lights were not of this world, and I feel a duty and responsibility to come forward," Col. Brian Fields told WND. "I have no idea what they were." Fields, 61, was cooking chicken at his Van Buren, Ark., home Jan. 9 when just before 7 p.m., he observed two intensely bright lights as he looked to the southeast close to the horizon. | Court to Oversee U.S. Wiretapping in Terror CasesWASHINGTON, Jan. 17 — The Bush administration, in a surprise reversal, said on Wednesday that it had agreed to give a secret court jurisdiction over the National Security Agency’s wiretapping program and would end its practice of eavesdropping without warrants on Americans suspected of ties to terrorists. The Justice Department said it had worked out an “innovative” arrangement with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that provided the “necessary speed and agility” to provide court approval to monitor international communications of people inside the United States without jeopardizing national security. The decision capped 13 months of bruising national debate over the reach of the president’s wartime authorities and his claims of executive power, and it came as the administration faced legal and political hurdles in its effort to continue the surveillance program.

Stennis (CVN 74) aircraft carrier battle group is heading to the Persian Gulf to join the USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN 69) aircraft carrier battle group currently on station there. Clearly, the Bush administration is planning to make a show of force to the Ahmadinejad regime in Iran. For two years, I have been arguing that a military solution to Iran pursuing nuclear weapons is the worst approach imaginable. In writing "Atomic Iran" in 2005, I argued that Iran is a terrorist state that is brutally repressive to the Iranian people, a state that will utilize nuclear weapons once Iran is capable of developing them. In writing "Showdown with Nuclear Iran" in 2006 with co-author Michael Evans, we argued that Ahmadinejad's radical religious belief that the Twelfth Imam will return from occlusion to occasion the worldwide triumph of Shiite Islam is particularly dangerous since Ahmadinejad believes it will require an apocalypse to bring the Mahdi out of the well. | 'Tiller the Killer' abortion case goes to SupremesThe special prosecutor in Kansas assigned by Attorney General Phill Kline to evaluate 30 criminal counts against late-term abortionist George Tiller of Wichita has gone to the state Supreme Court for help. "I filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Kansas against Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston and District Judge Paul Clark, on the grounds that they unlawfully usurped the authority of the chief law enforcement officer of the state, the Kansas Attorney General, and the authority of the Kansas Legislature, by improperly terminating a case lawfully filed by the attorney general," special prosecutor Don McKinney told WND. He said the laws of the state specifically allow the attorney general to file charges as a result of cases that are generated by a state investigative procedure known as an "inquisition." Kline, after an investigation of more than two years, had filed 30 criminal counts against Tiller, who is known world-wide for his late-term abortions, alleging he failed to follow Kansas law and performed abortions on babies that were beyond the age cutoff in state law. The charges also alleged he didn't have the proper medical diagnosis in the cases to legally allow the late-term abortions. | New Muslim congressman avoids loyalty questionsWhen the first Muslim congressman in U.S. history, Keith Ellison (Hakim-Mohammed) of Minnesota, won the 2006 election and was making the regular thank-you-to-my-supporters speech, he allowed his fans to shout, "Allahu Akbar!," the same phrase allegedly used by the 9/11 suicide pilots. Since November he's addressed various different Islamic groups and organizations, and he's used the Quran to be sworn into office. He's also been linked to Islamic organizations with questionable agendas. What he hasn't done is respond to requests from WND to confirm that he will, in fact, base his decisions on the laws of the United States on the U.S. Constitution, not the Quran. It was during his campaign that he raised the issue of his Islamic beliefs himself, and confirmed then that they would play a large role in his decision-making process: | Bunker-buster strike planned for Iran's nukesThe Sunday London Times is reporting that Israel has drawn up secret plans to use tactical nuclear weapons to destroy uranium-enrichment sites in Iran. Two Israeli air force squadrons have been training for a mission against an enrichment plant in Natanz using low-yield nuclear "bunker busters," Israeli military sources told the Times. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. WND reported Israel's training against a mock-up of Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment plant in March 2005. Tactics included raids by Israel's elite Shaldag commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from the 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs purchased from the U.S. to penetrate underground facilities. | 40% See 2007 War With Iran As Second Carrier DeployedA new nationwide poll reveals that four in ten Americans predict the U.S. will go to war with Iran in 2007 as a second aircraft carrier is deployed to the Gulf, putting 5,000 more U.S. sailors in the region, bringing the total to 16,000 in a clear escalation towards a military air strike on the country. A survey by Ipsos divulges that 40% of Americans think it "likely" that the U.S. will become involved militarily with Iran this year, 11% more than the mere 29% that see coalition troops leaving Iraq. Concurrently, a second aircraft carrier and escort ships have been sent into the Gulf in a threatening geopolitical gesture aimed at Iran and Syria. The USS John C. Stennis strike group will deploy later this month following in the footsteps of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier group that entered the Gulf in December. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called the move a reaffirmation that "We will be here for a long time and everybody needs to remember that." | Is the culture overpowering our churches?I believe the church of Jesus Christ faces more challenges today than at any time in history. The issues of homosexuality, abortion, inspiration of Scripture and spiritual "diversity" have brought divides into many churches. In the media, there is rarely a positive portrayal of Christianity. As I've recently reported, the few so-called Christian characters represented on the networks have either abandoned core biblical values or are depicted as callous ogres. Further, the media typically tout diverse forms of spirituality that embrace alternative modes of sexuality, worship and lifestyle. | Zealotry of South shaping the worldWith interest in spirituality on the rise and church attendance in a freefall, a week-long National Post series considers the state of Canadian Christianity and whether the way forward may in fact be the way backward. The most surprising thing for many about the international religious scene at the beginning of the 21st century is that there is an international religious scene worthy of investigation. Early 20th-century progressive thinkers thought that by now, religion would have long been shuffled off the main stage of history, relegated to the purely private sphere. There would still be religious believers, but religion would cease to be a major force shaping culture. It would be more akin to a hobby. | 250 Million Christians Will Be Persecuted in 2007RI also explained to Christian Today that in the Hindu world Christians face persecution in India and Nepal. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), one of India’s largest political parties, is associated with militant Hindu nationalist groups. Extremists have been involved in a growing number of attacks against both Christians andSeveral Indian states have introduced laws against forced conversion, but these are wide open to abuse. Christians face most pressure in rural areas, where militants have destroyed churches and threatened, attacked and killed church leaders. | GPS Surveillance Creeps into Daily LifeNov. 14, 2006 – For $5.99 per month, you can turn a cell phone into a surveillance device and track when your target leaves home, where he or she travels and at what speed. You can even detect how much battery power is left on the phone. Marketed as "virtual eyes" on your kids or employees, the service also allows you to construct a virtual "fence" so that you can receive electronic alerts if the phone's carrier crosses into forbidden areas. Provided by the company AccuTracking, this service is just one of dozens integrating the Global Positioning System (GPS) into everyday life. The system uses satellites to determine the locations of GPS-enabled devices. From brightly colored cell phones and watches designed to help parents shadow the movements of children, to enhanced mapping websites allowing managers to monitor traveling employees through mobile devices, corporations are cashing in on GPS surveillance technology. | Big Brother sugars the surveillance pillSomething funny has been happening to the CCTV cameras in our neighbourhood. They have started growing ears. Not real ones - at least not yet - but audio functions enabling them to "hear" what is happening around them as well as see. At the moment the experiment is confined to six cameras operating in the Soho area of Westminster, London, which has a high concentration of clubs and bars. An advanced wireless network which the council is building relays the information to a monitoring centre. If it is successful, it will be expanded to other selected areas. Police in the UK are also thinking about installing new CCTV cameras sensitive enough to record conversations up to 100 yards away to thwart hooliganism but, wisely, are keen to have a national debate about it first. | Security FeedA location-based services trial that will see a famous Tokyo neighborhood blanketed with about 10,000 radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and other beacons got its start earlier this month. The Tokyo Ubiquitous Network Project seeks to install RFID, infrared and wireless transmitters throughout Tokyo’s Ginza area, which is the most famous shopping area in the capital. The tags and transmitters will provide location-related information to people carrying prototype readers developed for the trial, said Ken Sakamura, a professor at The University of Tokyo and the leader of the project. | Church Official: ECUSA's Future Depends on Leaders' Return to God's Word(AgapePress) - An official with the Institute on Religion and Democracy expects to see the current conflicts within the Episcopal Church in the USA (ECUSA) continue throughout the coming year, including schism over the current liberal leadership and direction of the denomination. This past year, the ECUSA's new presiding bishop, Katherine Jefferts Schori, said Christ was not the only way to get to Heaven. She also remarked that homosexuals do not choose their behavior. (See earlier story) These and other indications of Bishop Schori's biblically unorthodox beliefs have sparked criticism and unease among conservative members of the denomination and within the broader Anglican community. | Report: 51 priests in same-sex civil partnershipsA report claiming at least 51 priests are in same-sex civil partnerships will confront the Church of England at two major upcoming meetings. The figures, which include four lesbian priests, come from a homosexual-rights group comprised of church members called Changing Attitude, the Times of London reported. "Civil partnerships have helped to increase the stability of same-sex relationships and reduced the social exclusion to which lesbian and gay people are often subjected," said the group's director, Colin Coward. | The Resurgent Russian Bear"I shall be an autocrat, that's my trade". Thus quipped the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great, who stamped Russian authority onto the international stage, seizing vast swathes of territory and establishing Russia as a formidable power in the middle of the eighteenth century. It appears that Vladimir Putin has taken her example to heart. | Evangelicals revive Christianity in EuropeThe evangelical movement comes at a time when the traditional European churches are shrinking, the Washington Times reports. While only about 2 percent of the population belongs to evangelical churches, they are also influencing the practices of protestant denominations and the Catholic Church. "Non-belief, doubt and secularization continue to progress, but increasingly we're witnessing a spiritual turning in recent years," said Christopher Sinclair of the University of Strasbourg. "What's striking about the evangelical movement is that it's growing. You can see this throughout Europe. It's answering a spiritual need." | Spanish bishops fear rebirth of Islamic kingdomSpain's bishops are alarmed by ambitious plans to recreate the city of Cordoba - once the heart of the ancient Islamic kingdom of al-Andalus - as a pilgrimage site for Muslims throughout Europe. Plans include the construction of a half-size replica of Cordoba's eighth century great mosque, according to the head of Cordoba's Muslim Association. Funds for the project are being sought from the governments of the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, and Muslim organisations in Morocco and Egypt.Other big mosques are reportedly planned for Medina Azahara near Cordoba, Seville and Granada. | French president calls for Middle East peace conferenceFrench President Jacques Chirac on Friday renewed a call for an international conference to help restore Middle East stability, saying that, "At the gates of Europe, the Middle East has become the epicenter of international tensions." Chirac, in what is likely to be one of his last major foreign policy addresses before April presidential elections, repeated his criticism of the U.S.-led war in Iraq. He told diplomats in Paris that the situation risked spilling over into wider conflict. "As France feared and warned, the war in Iraq set off upheavals whose effects have not yet been fully played out," he said, adding that conflict in the wider region could produce a confrontation "on an unimaginable scale." | The EU's Constitution ControversyThe Liberals in the European Parliament have strongly rejected a plan by Spain and Luxembourg to hold a restricted "friends of the EU constitution" meeting, saying the move carries the "serious risk" of dividing the union. The criticism comes after last week's invitation by Spain and Luxembourg to the Europe ministers of only those 18 EU countries which have ratified the constitution to a private meeting in Madrid on 26 January. Spain and Luxembourg deliberately excluded France and the Netherlands, which rejected the charter in popular referendums in 2005, as well as seven other states which subsequently suspended ratification, from the Madrid meeting - and invited them only for a second gathering open for all EU states in Luxembourg in late February. | Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on IranISRAEL has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons. Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources. The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the Hiroshima bomb. | Bird deaths shut down downtown AustinAUSTIN, Texas - Police shut down 10 blocks in downtown Austin for several hours Monday after 63 birds were found dead in the street, but officials said preliminary tests found no threat to people. Workers in yellow hazardous-materials suits tested for contaminants in a cordoned-off section near the state Capitol and the governor's mansion before authorities finally gave the all-clear in the afternoon. Although officials could not immediately determine whether poison or something else killed the birds, "there's no threat to humans at this point," said Assistant City Manager Michael McDonald. The dead grackles, sparrows and pigeons will be tested. | U.S. Selecting Hybrid Design for WarheadsWASHINGTON, Jan. 6 — The Bush administration is expected to announce next week a major step forward in the building of the country’s first new nuclear warhead in nearly two decades. It will propose combining elements of competing designs from two weapons laboratories in an approach that some experts argue is untested and risky. The new weapon would not add to but replace the nation’s existing arsenal of aging warheads, with a new generation meant to be sturdier, more reliable, safer from accidental detonation and more secure from theft by terrorists. The announcement, to be made by the interagency Nuclear Weapons Council, avoids making a choice between the two designs for a new weapon, called the Reliable Replacement Warhead, which at first would be mounted on submarine-launched missiles. The effort, if approved by President Bush and financed by Congress, would require a huge refurbishment of the nation’s complex for nuclear design and manufacturing, with the overall bill estimated at more than $100 billion. | Taser launches 'stylish' stun gunAvailable in pink, blue, silver and black, the gun fits into a handbag like a mobile phone. It will be launched at a Las Vegas electronics fair on Monday. Taser guns temporarily incapacitate a target with up to 50,000 volts. Critics have linked their use to dozens of deaths, but Taser says they save lives by reducing the use of firearms. The gun has however been at the centre of fresh controversy this weekend over the death of a man in Florida after police used a Taser to subdue him. | Hitler-style 'designer' babies coming under fire in TexasA Texas fertility clinic now promoting its plan to "design" babies for customers is moving society another step down the road toward full-blown eugenics in the United States, where there would be certain categories of lives that simply would be valueless, according to a spokesman for an organization of physicians. "I hope we have the gumption to have laws passed that will prohibit this," Dr. Gene Rudd, the associate executive director for the Christian Medical Association, told WND. "But one we've gone so far, how can you justify not going just a little bit further … down that ethical abyss." He was directing his comments to an announcement by a Texas fertility clinic that it would match sperm and egg donors to meet criteria for babies demanded by customers – an entirely new concept in "Have it your way," Rudd said. | Global Markets Face `Severe Correction,' Faber SaysJan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Marc Faber, who predicted the U.S. stock market crash in 1987, said global assets are poised for a ``severe correction'' and it's time to sell. ``In the next few months, we could get a severe correction in all asset markets,'' Faber said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in New York. ``In a selling panic you should buy, but in the buying mania that we have now the wisest course of action is to liquidate.'' Faber, founder and managing director of Hong Kong-based Marc Faber Ltd., advised investors to buy gold in 2001, which has since more than doubled. His company manages about $300 million in assets. | Russians turn off Europe's oil supplyEurope’s oil supplies from Russia were being held to ransom last night as the Kremlin fell into bitter dispute with a former Soviet satellite state. Moscow abruptly halted millions of barrels of oil destined for the EU via Belarus in an increasingly hostile wrangle with its neighbour. The move raised further questions over whether Western Europe can trust Mr Putin for its energy supply. Experts said that Russia had a deeply entrenched habit of manipulating oil and gas supplies as a substitute for diplomatic policy. | 'Catastrophic': Now thousands of birds fall from skyThe mysterious catastrophe has taken place over a period of three weeks in Esperance, about 450 miles southeast of Perth. The area was declared a disaster zone by government officials. So far, authorities are clueless as to the cause. Autopsies on the birds have shed no light. The main casualties, according to Australian news sources, are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters. Some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found. Some birds were seen convulsing when they died. Wildlife officers are baffled by what they characterize as a "catastrophic" event. It does not appear to be weather-related. | Chavez promises a socialist Venezuela as he starts new 6-year termCARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez echoed Fidel Castro's cry of "socialism or death" as he was sworn in for a new six-year term on Wednesday, promising to accelerate Venezuela's transformation into a socialist state. Chavez took the oath of office at the National Assembly after a sweeping re-election victory that has given him free reign to pursue more radical changes, including plans to nationalize power and telecommunications companies. His right hand raised, Chavez declared: "Fatherland, socialism or death — I swear it," invoking the Cuban leader's famous call to arms. Chavez also alluded to Jesus, saying: "I swear by Christ — the greatest socialist in history." | Proposal to send drones over Idaho raises hacklesSALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A U.S. government agency is considering using unmanned surveillance planes, or drones, to help oversee remote areas of eastern Idaho, raising concerns in a region deeply wary of outside interference. Officials the Bureau of Land Management office responsible for most of eastern Idaho may initially buy one hand-launched drone for an estimated $15,000 to help keep track of the vast, thinly populated area. They said the unpiloted aircraft, with a wingspan of about 4 feet, would monitor vegetation and streams in areas used largely for grazing and recreation and there were no immediate plans to use them for law enforcement. | U.S. warns about Canadian spy coinsIn a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside. The government said the mysterious coins were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors traveled through Canada. Intelligence and technology experts said such transmitters, if they exist, could be used to surreptitiously track the movements of people carrying the spy coins. The U.S. report doesn't suggest who might be tracking American defense contractors or why. It also doesn't describe how the Pentagon discovered the ruse, how the transmitters might function or even which Canadian currency contained them. | Family groups say Dems are cutting free speechJames Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family organization, has been joined by other prominent pro-family leaders in calling on Christians to tell Democrat leaders in Congress they don't like proposed new limits on their freedom of speech. "Clearly, the objective here is to hide what goes on from the public and punish and silence those of us who would talk about what our representatives are doing," Dobson told his audience of several million listeners in his special program about Senate Bill 1. That proposal, sponsored by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., is listed as a proposal "To provide greater transparency in the legislative process," however Dobson was joined by American Family Association Chairman Donald Wildmon, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and American Values President Gary Bauer in urging listeners to flood Capitol Hill with phone calls demanding those speech limits be removed. | Israel developing world's largest droneIsrael is developing the world's largest unmanned aircraft which will be used for long-range operations and destroying ballistic missiles as they are being launched, a security official said. The Eitan has been developed by the Israel Aircraft Industries and has a wing span of 35 metres (110 feet) -- similar to that of a Boeing 737 passenger plane -- the official told AFP. According to the Yediot Aharonot daily, the drone was designed for long endurance and high altitude flights and is equipped with an array of advanced cameras and missiles which allow it to identify and intercept long-range missiles as they are being fired on the ground. | 'American weapons to be used on Jews'RAMALLAH – The United States, aided by Israel, over the last few weeks has provided 7,000 assault rifles and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition to militias associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, senior Fatah militants told WND. The arms were provided to bolster Fatah against rival Hamas factions, the Fatah militants said. Fatah and Hamas have engaged in weeks of deadly firefights since Abbas last month called for new Palestinian elections in a move widely seen as an attempt to dismantle the Hamas-led PA. Abu Yousuf, a Fatah militant from Abba's Force 17 security forces, told WND while some of the weapons may be used in confrontations against Hamas, the bulk of the American arms would be utilized to "hit the Zionists." | Cloning opens door to 'farmyard freaks'Moves to clone and genetically modify farm livestock have opened the door to the creation of "Farmyard Freaks", experts have warned. News that the daughter of a US clone cow has been born on a British farm has moved the issue from science fiction to consumer reality. A former government adviser has painted a nightmarish picture of "zombie" and fast-growing supersize animals. Professor Ben Mepham, of Nottingham University, said the impact of bio-engineering, creating GM and cloned animals, is huge. Factory farming techniques, most commonly used with pigs and chicken, often involve keeping animals confined in cramped conditions. | | | | The Rise of the Islamic Antichrist

It’s being used in numerous applications, from tracking items along the supply chain to monitoring the whereabouts of kids and the elderly. It’s been kicking up a storm of privacy issues, and the FDA approval for VeriChip to implant human beings in the name of medical advances hasn’t done anything to settle the dust. | Safety project focuses on Isle eyesGALVESTON — Technology developed to keep track of prisoners by scanning their irises became available Thursday to identify missing children or elderly people afflicted with Alzheimer's disease in Galveston County. The Galveston County Sheriff's Department is the first sheriff's department in Texas and the 47th nationwide to join the Children's Identification Database, or CHILD Project. | China arrests Catholic priestsROME Nine priests of China’s underground Roman Catholic Church have been arrested in the northern province of Hebei, the Catholic news agency AsiaNews reported. AsiaNews, a Rome-based agency with Vatican connections, said that the clergymen had met for studies in a place south of their diocese of Baoding. It was not known why they had been held but the agency said that it was probably because they had met over Christmas for prayer in a place that had not been recognised by the Government. | In the sky! A bird? A plane? A ... UFO?It sounds like a tired joke--but a group of airline employees insist they are in earnest, and they are upset that neither their bosses nor the government will take them seriously. A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon. Was it an alien spaceship? A weather balloon lost in the airspace over the world's second-busiest airport? A top-secret military craft? Or simply a reflection from lights that played a trick on the eyes? | Muslims shout at Jesus' home: 'Islam will dominate the world'NAZARETH – Islamic groups held a large militant march down the main streets of Nazareth this weekend, highlighting for some here the plight of Christians in this ancient city where Muslims have become a majority and members of the dwindling Christian population say they suffer regular intimidation. | Iran website heralding 'Mahdi' by springtimeAn official state media website in Iran has posted a message heralding the coming of the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, noting he could arrive with Jesus by the spring equinox. "Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca," the message says. | Fla. Man Develops GPS ShoesMIAMI -- Global Positioning System technology is turning up in more and more devices, like watches and cellphones. But a Miami company has used the technology to develop shoes that can be located anywhere in the world. The shoes' developer Sayo Isaac Daniel said people can forget to carry their phones, but they can't leave the house without their shoes. The design allows wearers to press a hidden button to send a distress signal. The Quantum Satellite Technology shoes are planned to hit stores in March at a price of $325 to $350. | 2007 economic forecast: Dollar decline, recessionEconomists anticipate that the fall of the U.S. dollar in world currency markets that began in 2006 will accelerate in 2007. "The dollar could lose as much as 30 percent of its value in 2007," econometrician John Williams, who publishes the website Shadow Government Statistics, told WND. "In 2007, we are likely to see the economic downturn of 2006 develop into a structural recession and yet we have international trade and federal budged deficits careening out of control." | U.S. Air Force Explores Options for 'Prompt Global Strike'PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, CO -- Gen. Kevin Chilton, the head of Air Force Space Command here in Colorado Springs, has asked his staff to review which technologies available today might be useful for a "midterm" conventional weapon system capable of striking targets halfway around the globe within an hour of an order to launch. The head of U.S. Strategic Command, Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright, has said an array of prompt global strike weapons are needed to address urgent targets, such as terrorist hideouts or rogue nuclear capabilities that emerge suddenly and may prove fleeting. | IDF: Hizbullah almost at full strengthPredicting that it is "just a matter of time" before Hizbullah attacks Israel, a high-ranking officer from the Northern Command revealed to The Jerusalem Post Wednesday that the Lebanese guerrilla group had nearly returned to full strength and was almost at the level it was before this summer's Lebanon war. | Secular rabbis to be ordained in J'lemIn an unprecedented event in Israel, seven secular Jews who view Judaism as a culture, as opposed to a religion, will be ordained as rabbis Friday in Jerusalem. The ceremony, which will be held at the Israel Museum, comes after the ordainees completed three years of study at the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism in Jerusalem. Twenty five additional students are currently studying at the program. | The New Threat To EuropeThis year began with a European energy crisis caused by Russia's cutoff of gas supplies to Ukraine, where a democratic government not to the liking of Vladimir Putin had taken power. Because Russian gas passes through Ukraine on its way to Western Europe, the pressure also dropped in Paris and Vienna and Rome -- and Europeans suddenly realized they were dependent for electricity and warmth on an autocracy that was prepared to use energy as a tool of imperialism. | 2006: The year in techSome of this year's discoveries would be on the Christmas list of any caped crusader. A working invisibility cloak – even if only for microwaves – could come in handy, as would a self-assembling gel able to stop bleeding in just a few seconds. | Barna Lists the 12 Most Significant Religious Findings from 2006 Surveys(Ventura, CA) – Even though George Barna has been conducting national public opinion surveys for a quarter-century, surprises emerge each year from those studies. The California-based researcher traditionally ends each year by identifying some of the unexpected and most significant findings of the passing year. Barna released his list of the twelve most noteworthy results of 2006, and described a few themes that ran through this year’s surveys. | China's Hu calls for powerful, combat-ready navyBEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese president and commander-in-chief Hu Jintao urged the building of a powerful navy that is prepared "at any time" for military struggle, state media reported on Thursday. At a meeting of delegates to a Communist Party meeting of the navy on Wednesday, Hu said China, whose military build-up has been a source of friction with the United States, was a major maritime country whose naval capability must be improved. | Plastic may spell the end of the silicon microchipThe list of achievements of Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory – one of the world’s most prestigious centres for physics research – is about to get a little longer. Responsible over the past 136 years for a stunning series of discoveries, from elemental particles such as the electron to the threads of genetic material known as DNA, the laboratory can count among its more recent breakthroughs a form of circuitry that could change radically the world’s electronics industry. | Michael Medved blows a gasketAn old adage came to mind while reading Michael Medved's latest blog entry: "Me thinks he doth protest too much." I'm going to rebut what I consider to be Medved's vicious, unrelenting, personal attacks on me and my news service without resorting to the over-the-top insults he employed in his recent commentaries on plans for a North American Union. | Report: 51 priests in same-sex civil partnershipsA report claiming at least 51 priests are in same-sex civil partnerships will confront the Church of England at two major upcoming meetings. The figures, which include four lesbian priests, come from a homosexual-rights group comprised of church members called Changing Attitude, the Times of London reported. | Massachusetts marriage amendment advancesState lawmakers in Massachusetts, facing the possibility of personal liability for refusing to follow the state Constitution, have blinked, and voted to allow a voter-supported initiative that would define marriage in the state as between one man and one woman only to move forward. It's just another step in the long process defined by the state Constitution to amend that document, but it is significant because of the imposition of "gay" marriages in that state – the first state to take such action – after the state Supreme Judicial Court determined they must be allowed. | Ex-vicar recasts the 10 CommandmentsForget coveting thy neighbour's ass — the 10 Commandments have been updated by a former Church of England vicar to cope with the stresses of modern life. Simon Parke has recast the Old Testament commandments handed down to Moses on tablets of stone with a series of gnomic rules for life. In his book The Beautiful Life, published yesterday, Mr Parke, 49, replaces the "Thou Shalt Nots" with exhortations such as "Cease Separation" for "Thou shalt not steal" and "Prepare For Truth" for "Thou shalt not commit adultery". | Safer highway remains the goalThere's no question that Tennessee's experimental driving certificate program was being abused. Since it was created in 2004, 51,000 certificates have been issued, and some level of abuse probably was inevitable. | Hacker Con Submits to Spychips BERLIN -- This year's Chaos Communication Congress opens with a unique opportunity -- your chance to track the movements of a Wired News' reporter on the scene, as well as nearly a thousand other visitors to the annual hacker convention. Hackers are paying 10 euros each for the privilege of hanging special homebrew RFID tags around their necks or slapping them on their laptop bags. Every few seconds, each of these "CCC Sputnik" badges reports its owner's position to an array of 35 monitoring stations, and spits out the guinea-pigs' every move over a public XML feed. | Location technology for first responders nears completion Denver-based RFID, Ltd., recently announced that its RFID-based SurvivalTag, which tracks the location of police, fire and emergency medical personnel, has entered the final design phase. The device, which is embedded into first responder uniforms, lets incident commanders monitor heart rates, skin temperatures and respiratory conditions of personnel, in addition to their location, the company said. | Spanish Muslims ask Pope about CathedralMADRID, Spain - Spanish Muslims said on Wednesday that they have appealed to Pope Benedict XVI to be allowed to pray in the Cathedral of Cordoba in southern Spain, which was once an ancient mosque. In a letter to the pope, Spain's Islamic Board said Spanish Catholic clergy had rejected requests for Muslims to be allowed to pray inside the Cathedral, which was converted into a church in the 13th century. | Risk of collapse at Western Wall Within the next few days, the Western Wall authorities will begin demolishing Mugrabi hill, after it was discovered that the dirt paving beneath it was at risk of collapsing, along with the temporary wooden bridge that was built at the site. Mugrabi Gate is the only opening through which Jews may go up the hill, and destroying the hill will prevent this as well. | Atheists challenge the religious rightFor some time, the religious right has decried "secular humanism," a philosophy that rejects the supernatural or spiritual as a basis for moral decisionmaking. But now, nonbelievers are vigorously fighting back. Only a small percentage of Americans admit to being nontheists (between 2 and 9 percent, depending on the poll), but that equates to many millions. And religionists' role in debates over stem-cell research and evolution vs. intelligent design - as well as radical religion in world conflicts - have galvanized some atheists to mount a counteroffensive. | Court rules boy has dad and 2 momsOntario's highest court has given legal parental status to the lesbian partner of a biological mother, essentially giving a young boy three parents. The case is believed to be the first in Canada in which a child has more than two legal parents, said Peter Jervis, a lawyer for the partner. He said while there have been birth-registry cases in which lesbian couples sought parentage of their children, the fathers in those cases were not active or were unknown due to sperm donations. | Guardsmen overrun at the BorderA U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico. According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat. | Residents of planned union to be 'North Americanists'Arizona State University is teaching that the U.S., Mexico and Canada need to be integrated into a unified superstate, where U.S. citizens of the future will be known as "North Americanists," according to the taxpayer-funded "Building North America" program.

Up until now Egypt has claimed its nuclear program was for energy purposes only | Official: Iran amassing raw material for uranium enrichmentIran's top nuclear official said on Thursday that United Nations sanctions would not restrict its atomic program, and that it was continuing to amass the raw material for uranium enrichment.

The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars..." --Caesar and Christ, Will Durant | Leading FMCG Pilots RFIDBarely a month old in the Indian market, US-based Axcess International Inc, is piloting its patented product Dual-Active RFID at a leading FMCG company manufacturing soaps and detergents in north India. Intercode Solutions is facilitating equipment installation and training. | Dialogue with Muslims: Possible, or pipe dream?At a time when the greatest threat facing the Jewish people and, indeed, the entire world, is from Islamic extremism — its ideological totalitarianism, its use of terror and suicide bombs, its goals of developing nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction — the question of relations with Muslims in general is at center stage. Recently, after I gave an address on the subject of the Islamic extremist threat, I responded to a question about dialogue by saying that it is a “pipe dream” because “there is no one to talk to.” | LEVIN'S BIG BRAIN DRAIN At least that's the word from W magazine, which just named Levin to the magazine's Hollywood A list for the super secret new age center for the fabulously wealthy that he and Perlman started in Santa Monica two years ago. Of course, there are many people at the struggling Time Warner that he left behind who could use all the aura-massaging help one could muster - even if they couldn't come close to affording the price of admission. | Company Develops Weapons Designed For Portable UAVsRecoilless Rifle Makes Armed Anti-Personnel UAV Possible Tactical Aerospace Group (TAG) has announced a new recoilless technology development it intends to implement on its portable unmanned helicopters.

India is disappointed. There are two reasons for that. First, it is a precedent where a powerful nation can use United Nation, lie about ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and demonstrate its might to get into a country, devastate the same, put a puppet Government in the middle of a civil war and then execute the former head of the state. | Web site aims to post government secretsForget parking garages. Tomorrow’s Deep Throats can go wiki.
