Let's see… you can't use schools rooms after hours, dorm rooms and libraries to hold church services because they are public property. You can't hold Bible studies in meeting rooms at some apartment complexes because someone might complain. You can't have Bible studies in your own home in some places because the neighbors might complain about the traffic or it might violate some home owner’s association agreement. I know… lets have church on a farm!!!!

Farmer opens barn for services, county slaps him with violation notice
May 11, 2006- A county in Virginia has cited a farmer there because he hosts Thursday night worship services in his barn on a 900-acre farm.
...Garland Simmons recently received a Notice of Violation from Bedford County stating that his barn cannot be used for religious services. Simmons' 900-acre piece of property apparently isn't zoned for such meetings.
"Barns in Bedford County can apparently be used for dancing to the tunes of Toby Keith or Reba, but a church service reciting the Psalms of David or praise and worship with Casting Crowns are not allowed," said Liberty Counsel's Mathew Staver...

Katrina, Rita floods killed Louisiana's fire ants
Apr 30, 2006- Finally, a silver lining in all of that salt water that flooded parts of Louisiana during hurricanes Katrina and Rita: A lot of pesky fire ants died.
The invasive little bugs, which bite with a real sting and often push “good” ants out of an area, apparently don’t mix well with salt water, according to findings by LSU Agriculture Center entomologist and Professor Linda Hooper-Bui and her researchers.
...Fire ants are normally very adaptive to the environment. When it floods in their native ranges in South America, they will create a floating “ball” in hopes some will survive, Hooper-Bui said. Essentially, some sacrifice their lives so their fellow ants can float on top of their carcasses.
...Some experimentation found the “ball” survival reaction to flooding doesn’t seem to work when the water is salty…

Report: Don't blame storms on global warming
U.Va. researcher says temperature isn't only factor for hurricanes
May 10, 2006 - Global warming by itself cannot be blamed for the increase in severe Atlantic hurricanes, University of Virginia climate researchers report.
... hurricanes' ultimate strength is not directly linked to the underlying water temperatures, the Virginia scientists said.
"There are more severe hurricanes appearing than are explainable by the rise in sea-surface temperatures since the 1990s," said Michaels, a professor of environmental sciences and director of the Virginia Climatology Office.
Michaels is a leading skeptic of global warming's potential harm.
...Michaels believes the increase in hurricane activity beginning in the 1990s is related mainly to variation in the North Atlantic's temperature patterns, not temperature change itself.
"The pattern can appear whether it's cool or whether it's warm," he said.
"In the future we may expect to see more major hurricanes," Michaels said, "but we don't expect the ones that do form to be any stronger than the ones that we have seen in the past."
The Virginia study looked at the water temperatures along the paths of the 205 Atlantic tropical cyclones since 1982, providing a more precise picture of the tropical environment involved in each hurricane's development...

Panel Says BBC Should be More Accurate in Mideast Coverage
May 04, 2006 -London - An independent panel in Britain concluded this week that the BBC needs to be more accurate, fair and thorough when covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
...In its final report, the commission concluded this week that the broadcaster's reporting from the region was generally of high quality and that there was no "systematic bias" shown towards either side.
However, it also found "gaps in coverage, analysis, context and perspective" - particularly when it came to giving listeners and viewers historical perspective on the conflict.
In particular, chairman Quentin Thomas said, reporters should not be afraid of labeling as "terrorism" acts such as suicide bombings of civilians, something the BBC has avoided in the past as being too "emotive."
"We say that the BBC should get the language right," Thomas wrote in the foreword to the report. "We think they should call terrorist acts 'terrorism' because that term is clear and well understood."
...Viewers were often presented with the occupation of Palestinian territory as an established fact, without reference to the Six-Day War in 1967 or the events before and after, he said.
Palestinians were most often portrayed on the BBC as destitute victims, seldom as members of a middle or upper class, he said...

Al Qaeda's branch in Iraq is worried that its cells in the Baghdad area are ineffective, according to two documents released by the U.S. military.
"the United States military released documents that it seized during an April 16th raid in an area 12 miles south of Baghdad. Significant and revealing find. The Al-Qaeda author is unknown, but officials believe him to be of significance within the terrorist organization. If you read the document, it's helpful to bear in mind the author often refers to the elected government of Iraq as 'Shi'ites.' Al-Qaeda's own self-assessment finds that, A, it is disorganized and lacks a comprehensive strategery, that B, the Mujahideen are not considered more than a daily annoyance to the Iraqi government.
"The terrorists lack the proper equipment. They have very small numbers compared to American and Iraqi military personnel. American and Iraqi troops are strong and resilient. American outreach to Sunni leaders is harmful to the terrorist cause, and finally, 'The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy.'" This is an Al-Qaeda document, written by an unknown writer, but it clearly indicates that these people think they are losing, and losing big time...
