First Temple wall found in City of David

THE JERUSALEM POST Mar. 29, 2007

A wall from the First Temple was recently uncovered in Jerusalem's City of David, strengthening the claim that it is the site of the palace of King David, an Israeli archeologist said Thursday.

The new find, made by Dr. Eilat Mazar, a senior fellow at the Shalem Center's Institute for the Archeology of the Jewish People, comes less than two years after she said she had discovered the palace's location at the site just outside the walls of the Old City.

The monumental 10th century BCE building found by Mazar in 2005 following a six month dig has ignited debate among archaeologists about whether it is indeed the palace built for the victorious David by King Hiram of Tyre as recounted in Samuel II:5.

A 20-meter-long section of the 7-meter-thick wall has now been uncovered. It indicates that the City of David once served as a major government center, Mazar said.

Mazar estimates less than a quarter of the entire wall has been uncovered so far, and says that it is the largest site from King David's time ever to have been discovered.

The dig is sponsored by the capital's Shalem Center, with academic backing from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Nude Chocolate Jesus Angers Catholic League

Candy Statue Created Anatomically Correct

March 29, 2007

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights is calling for a boycott of a New York City hotel that plans to display a chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus during Holy Week.

Sculptor Cosimo Cavallaro calls his Jesus figure "My Sweet Lord," and said viewers will be invited to lick it and eat it before it's taken down on Easter Sunday.

A press release advertising the sculpture …describes it as "Jesus, the 485,460-calorie Messiah."

Catholic League spokeswoman Kiera McCaffrey said that no one would dare display a naked chocolate Muhammad during Ramadan, but Christians apparently are fair game.

The Lab Gallery's artistic director said he's shocked at the outcry…

Celebrating Easter in an anti-Christian culture

March 31, 2007

As Christians prepare to observe Palm Sunday (April 1) and Easter (April 8), it is becoming increasingly apparent that we are living in a culture that has little room for the Savior.

Let's examine how Christians are often treated in the modern society.

This week, the Christian Defense Coalition was sponsoring a public Christian celebration in Washington, D.C., when they were ordered to leave a public sidewalk in front of the Library of Congress – as they were kneeling in prayer – even though they had obtained a permit from the Capitol Police. Coalition director, the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, noted that anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint the U.S. Capitol Building with no consequences, while "peaceful Christians were ordered to leave a public sidewalk for praying."

...School choirs have been told (falsely) that they could not sing Christmas carols, student Bible clubs often have to take legal action to gain their U.S. Supreme Court-authorized right to meet on campus and Bible clubs must often fight to gain their right to advertise or have their ads appear in school publications...

...National Liberty Journal reported that 12 Washington state high school students — some immigrants from Russia — were suspended for praying before school...

...At Savannah State University , Christian students were told that their evangelistic outreach efforts were tantamount to “harassment.”

...Today, many in authority believe Christianity should be shunned, while sexual hedonism should be explored and embraced.

This week, the talk channels are alive with news of a six-foot chocolate sculpture of Jesus, titled “My Sweet Lord,” that is on display in New York City. It is just another in a long line of “art” exhibits (remember “Piss Christ” and the Virgin Mary display designed with dung?) that denigrate Jesus and those who follow Him.

So what are we to make of this accelerating cultural abhorrence of Christ and Christianity?

With five private jets, Travolta still lectures on global warming

30th March 2007

...The 53-year-old actor, a passionate pilot, encouraged his fans to "do their bit" to tackle global warming.

But although he readily admitted: "I fly jets", he failed to mention he actually owns five, along with his own private runway.

Clocking up at least 30,000 flying miles in the past 12 months means he has produced an estimated 800 tons of carbon emissions – nearly 100 times the average Briton's tally.

Travolta made his comments this week at the British premiere of his movie, Wild Hogs.

He spoke of the importance of helping the environment by using "alternative methods of fuel" – after driving down the red carpet on a Harley Davidson.

...Travolta, a Scientologist, claimed the solution to global warming could be found in outer space and blamed his hefty flying mileage on the nature of the movie business.

But his appointment as a "serving ambassador" for the Australian airline Qantas doesn't seem to have much to do with the movies. Nor does a recent, two-month round-the-world flying trip.

...Travolta's five private planes – a customised £2million Boeing 707, three Gulfstream jets and a Lear jet – are kept at the bottom of his garden in the US next to a private runway...

[Bonnie Prince] Charles 'the hypocrite' takes private plane for 500-mile trip to Scotland

3/30/2007

For one who prides himself on his green credentials, it seems an unnecessarily environmentally unfriendly way to go on holiday…

...Royal sources confirmed last night that Prince Charles boarded a Royal Flight HS125 at RAF Lyneham near his Highgrove home to take him, wife Camilla and a small entourage of aides to Aberdeen...

...his flight put him on a collision course with environmentalists who estimated the flight would have a carbon footprint of 15,000kg per passenger. Analysts Best Foot Forward said a scheduled flight would have resulted in a far less damaging carbon emission of 435kg per person as it would have had more passengers…

…going by train via London would be the greenest option with a estimated carbon emission of 60kg.

Joss Garman, a campaigner for green pressure group, Plane Stupid said: "This is the third time in as many months that he has taken a private jet when he could have taken a more environmentally sustainable means of transport…

...[a few months back in] New York to collect an award marking his environmental awareness... [Prince] Charles said climate change "was a war we simply have to win". And he was applauded when he added: "It is surely the duty of each and every one of us to find out what we can do to make the situation better."

Nonetheless green campaigners and Environment Minister David Miliband said he could have accepted the award by video link.

In February, though, he reverted to a 140-seater private plane to fly to the Gulf with a 20-strong party.

During the trip, Camilla came under fire for flying a pair of stilettos from Highgrove to the Gulf after she realised she had landed in Kuwait without them. In the end, she didn't even wear the shoes...

Feinstein quits committee under war-profiteer cloud

March 28, 2007

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has abruptly walked away from her responsibilities with the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee after a report linked her votes to the financial well-being of her husband's companies, which received billions of dollars worth of military construction contracts she approved...

...Feinstein, chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee, regularly reviewed and accepted contracts from her husband's companies for not only construction work for military bases, but also addressing "quality of life" issues for the veterans of the United States military services...

...The writer also noted another reason could be that since that subcommittee is responsible for veterans' "quality of life" issues, perhaps she was trying to distance herself from the military's failure to provide decent medical care for wounded servicemembers…

Bottled Or Tap Water - Which Is Best?

8 Mar 2007

Although bottled water is perceived as a healthier, safer choice over tap water in consumer surveys, that is not necessarily always true, says sports nutritionist Cynthia Sass, R.D., C.S.S.D. In a presentation today at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) 11th-annual Health & Fitness Summit & Exposition in Dallas, Texas, Sass outlined the basics of water consumption, comparing bottled and tap varieties.

"Twenty-five percent of all bottled water is actually repackaged tap water," said Sass...

[Adult] Stem Cells Speed Liver Tissue Growth
March 27th 2007
Germany scientists have, for the first time, used adult bone marrow stem cells to regenerate healthy human liver tissue.

Heinrich-Heine University researchers in Dusseldorf used the stem cells to help quickly regenerate liver tissue in cancer patients unable to undergo surgery because removing the cancerous tissue would leave too little liver to support the body...

The study appears in the April issue of the journal Radiology.

Remember when grocery stores switched from paper bags to plastic bags in order to save trees?
S.F. Leaders OK Plastic Grocery Bag Ban, switches to paper
Mar 27
San Francisco City leaders approved a ban on plastic grocery bags after weeks of lobbying on both sides from environmentalists and a supermarket trade group…

The law… requires large markets and drug stores to give customers only a choice among bags made of paper that can be recycled, plastic that breaks down easily enough to be made into compost, or reusable cloth...

...The 50 grocery stores that would be most affected by the law argued that the ban was not reasonable because plastic bags made of corn byproducts are a relatively new, expensive and untested product. Some said they might offer only paper bags at checkout.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070328/D8O4T7900.html

Mercury in energy-saving bulbs worries scientists

Wed Mar 28, 2007

…Mercury is poisonous, but it's also a necessary part of most compact fluorescent bulbs, the kind that environmentalists and some governments are pushing as a way to cut energy use.

We want this baby polar bear dead' say animal rights lobby

20 March 2007

Tiny, fluffy and adorable, Knut the baby polar bear became an animal superstar after he was abandoned by his mother.

He rapidly became the symbol of Berlin Zoo, whose staff bottle-fed him and handed out cuddles in between…

…Animal rights activists argue that he should be given a lethal injection rather than brought up suffering the humiliation of being treated as a domestic pet.

"The zoo must kill the bear," said spokesman Frank Albrecht. "Feeding by hand is not species-appropriate but a gross violation of animal protection laws."

Panda Death Dampens Joy over Knut

Berlin Zoo's delight over its superstar Knut has been tempered by the sudden death of lady Panda Yan Yan… Her passing initially triggered speculation that the attention surrounding the baby polar bear was too much for her…

…media speculation [was] that Yan Yan had been stressed by the overwhelming number of visitors to Berlin Zoo since unfeasibly cute polar bear cub Knut went on show to the public last Friday.

Some 30,000 people crowded the zoo at the weekend, several times more than usual, and many who couldn't get a glimpse of Knut went over to check out Yan Yan…

The 51st State?

By George Will March 29, 2007

...Today's Democratic-controlled Congress wants to give D.C., by legislation, a full voting member in the House of Representatives. Having failed to achieve ratification of a constitutional amendment, sent to the states in 1978, which would have conferred statehood on D.C. (only 16 states ratified it, 22 short of the required number), Democrats now say an amendment is unnecessary, a statute will suffice to do essentially that.

...If majorities in both houses of today's Congress want the fewer than 600,000 residents of D.C. to be fully represented, they can accomplish that with legislation shrinking D.C. to the core containing the major federal buildings and monuments, and giving the rest back to Maryland. Democrats are uninterested in that because it would not serve their primary objective of increasing their Senate seats...

Oil Innovations Pump New Life Into Old Wells
March 5, 2007 BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The Kern River oil field, discovered in 1899, was revived when Chevron engineers here started injecting high-pressured steam to pump out more oil. The field, whose production had slumped to 10,000 barrels a day in the 1960s, now has a daily output of 85,000 barrels.

In Indonesia, Chevron has applied the same technology to the giant Duri oil field, discovered in 1941, boosting production there to more than 200,000 barrels a day, up from 65,000 barrels in the mid-1980s.

And in Texas, Exxon Mobil expects to double the amount of oil it extracts from its Means field, which dates back to the 1930s. Exxon, like Chevron, will use three-dimensional imaging of the underground field and the injection of a gas — in this case, carbon dioxide — to flush out the oil.

Within the last decade, technology advances have made it possible to unlock more oil from old fields, and, at the same time, higher oil prices have made it economical for companies to go after reserves that are harder to reach. With plenty of oil still left in familiar locations, forecasts that the world’s reserves are drying out have given way to predictions that more oil can be found than ever before.

In a wide-ranging study published in 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that ultimately recoverable resources of conventional oil totaled about 3.3 trillion barrels… more at:

Christian fired for sharing God during her off hours

March 28, 2007

A Christian woman is battling a California university and state social agency for terminating her internship because she shared her faith with co-workers during off-hours...

...Jacqueline Escobar was completing a master's degree in social work at California State University Long Beach when she interned with the Department of Children and Family Services, or DCFS.

A straight-A student, Escobar was complimented regularly by the DCFS for her work. But she came under scrutiny for sharing her faith with co-workers during lunch breaks and after-hours, and for changing into a shirt with a religious message – "Found" – after signing out for the day, according to the Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing her.

A trial is scheduled to begin April 3.

Escobar was directed to stop speaking about her faith, even during breaks and after work hours.

Also, the university ordered her to sign a document admitting she had "an inability to separate her religious beliefs from her role" as an intern.

She refused to sign the document, arguing she couldn't agree to such a sweeping prohibition that included her religious practice during non-working hours.

Consequently, Escobar was terminated from her internship and threatened with expulsion from the graduate program.

Christian physician addresses healhcare's "universal" concerns

3/29/2007

Christian Medical Association CEO Dr. David Stevens, M.D., agreed with statements from Senator Hillary Clinton this week that more Americans are open to the idea of "universal health care" because the nation's current health care system has deteriorated. However, the physician warns, there are still important principles Christians need to consider in thinking about a "universal health care" approach...

...And there are other built-in problems in play when there is no competition for the best health care services, Stevens contends. "At least now there's competition between insurance companies," he says, "and so if our organization's not getting the type of service they need from an insurance company, you can go find another one."

...However, in "a monolithic system with a single payer, you don't have that option," the Christian physician explains. Government health care administrators would control the market, he says, "which actually makes that type of system more problematic in many instances."

Also, Stevens notes, Christians may have limited recourse with regard to moral and ethical issues in health care coverage after government mandates are in effect. He says that could become a serious concern for believers if they find those mandates often clash with Christian ethics and morality over issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and cloning...

Study: Dinosaur demise didn't spur species

3/28/2007 AP Science Writer

NEW YORK - The big dinosaur extinction of 65 million years ago didn't produce a flurry of new species in the ancestry of modern mammals after all, says a huge study that challenges a long-standing theory.

Scientists who constructed a massive evolutionary family tree for mammals found no sign of such a burst of new species at that time among the ancestors of present-day animals...

"I was flabbergasted," said study co-author Ross MacPhee, curator of vertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York...

...The long-held view has been that once the dinosaurs were gone, mammals were suddenly free to exploit new food sources and habitats, and as a result they produced a burst of new species.

...In contrast, no such burst was found for the ancestors of modern-day mammals like rodents, cats, horses, elephants and people...

Don't teach creation, just mention AiG, and ... get fired!

March 27, 2007

A substitute biology teacher in Sisters, Oregon, was fired last week for allegedly not following the state’s official goals and guidelines regarding the teaching of evolution in public school science classes.* Mr. Kris Helphinstine was accused of teaching biblical creationism, and was also criticized for making a link between evolution and eugenics in Nazi Germany.

Helphinstine, in talking to AiG late last week, denied teaching creationism. He indicated that he merely followed Oregon’s education department’s goal that “any genuinely scientific evidence for or against any explanation of life may be taught.” Helphinstine said that in desiring to teach his students about bias in science and to develop their critical thinking skills, he handed out two AiG articles, one being about natural selection and genetics, and poodles written by AiG–U.S. President Ken Ham. He was careful to delete phrases that mentioned the Bible or creationism, and stuck to the science of genetics and natural selection contained in the article. An uproar ensued in central Oregon....

...To read the abridged article on poodles and genetics ....which Helphinstine edited for his students—omitting wording that would present religious ideas (which explains the frequent use of ellipses)—and which he passed out in class, see http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2007/0327Poodles-abridged.pdf .

....For another example of a teacher who did not teach creation but only brought up the problems with evolution, read our article about a Wisconsin instructor who was demoted simply for questioning Darwinian evolution http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2002/0110news2.asp .

Panda Poop to Do Double Duty in China

March 26, 2007

...Researchers at a giant panda reserve in southern China are looking for paper mills to process their surplus of fiber-rich panda excrement into high quality paper.

Liao Jun, a researcher at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base in Sichuan province, said the idea came to them after a visit to Thailand last year where they found paper made from elephant dung. They thought panda poop would produce an even finer quality paper, he said...

...The Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand already sells multicolored paper made from the excrement produced by its two resident pandas. Making paper there involves a daylong process of cleaning the feces, boiling it in a soda solution, bleaching it with chlorine and drying it under the sun.

2nd-hand flatulence prompts new butts-out policy
'No one could smell anything when the pub was full of cigarette smoke'
March 26, 2007

Scotland's ban on smoking in pubs has backfired, so to speak, on a regular customer whose constant habit of breaking wind has now resulted in his expulsion from his favorite watering hole.

Stewart Laidlaw, 35, is being barred from Thirsty Kirsty's in Dunfermline, Fife, for failing to control his flatulence.

"No one could smell anything when the pub was full of cigarette smoke," Laidlaw told Wales on Sunday. "I never used to complain about the smell of their cigarette smoke, but now everyone complains about me. It's just a natural thing. What can I do about it? I must be the first person in the country to get banned from a pub for passing wind. But it's not a title I want. I certainly don't see it as funny."

…John Thow, the landlord at the pub, is blasting back, saying the long-term flatulence was beyond a joke.

"It is just disgusting," he told the Press. "He revels in this and does it all the time and it's absolutely foul, it would make you sick. Since the smoking ban he's made a career out of this. He has been warned and asked politely to stop it on many occasions...

"He will clear the pub out usually and he thinks it is very funny…” http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54888

Europe Shariatized: Wife-Beating Legitimized by German Court

3/26/2007

The wife’s lawyer, Barbara Becker-Rojczyk, could not believe her eyes: a German judge was invoking Kuran in a German legal case to assert the husband’s “right to castigate” his wife. The meaning was clear: “the husband can beat his wife,” Becker-Rojczyk commented. She decided to go public with the case last Tuesday because the judge was still on the bench, two months after the controversial verdict was handed down. The judge was subsequently removed from the case, but not from the bench. In reality “mainstream Muslims” do nothing of the sort. New York Times’ claim notwithstanding, the original sources for “true” Islam—the Kuran and Hadith—provide ample and detailed evidence on Islamic theory and the sources of Shari’a practice that remains in force all over the Islamic world today. According to orthodox Islamic tradition, the verse invoked by the German judge (4:34) was revealed in connection with a woman who complained to Mohammad that her husband had hit her on the face, which was still bruised. At first he told her to get even with him, but then added, “Wait until I think about it.”

...The same “essence” was reiterated in similar terms last July by Jens Orback, the Swedish Integration [sic] Minister, who declared in a radio debate on Channel P1, “We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us.” (funny how we have to be tolerant of Muslims but they don't have to be tolerant of us)

To all forward-looking Europeans it must be a welcome sign that continental courts are catching up with the leader in sharia compliance, Great Britain. A key tenet of sharia is that non-Muslims cannot try Muslims...

Why feminism 'could be bad for your health'

25 March 2007

or years, feminists have fought for equality, believing it is the key to a better society.

Now researchers have found that parity between the sexes may be bad for your health.

A study in Sweden, arguably one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, discovered that men and women who are equal are more likely to suffer illness or disability.

Those who earn the same are also more likely to become unwell or suffer a disability....

...They suggested that women's health could be damaged by greater opportunities for risky behaviour as a result of increased income combined with the stress of longer working hours...

Housework cuts breast cancer risk

…housework can help women substantially to cut their risk of developing breast cancer, according to a study.

Researchers analysed data from 218,169 women, aged 20 to 80, in nine European countries, looking at a range of activities, including work, leisure and housework.

Pre-menopausal women who did housework were 30 per cent less likely to develop breast cancer than pre-menopausal women who did none, while post-menopausal women who did housework were 20 per cent less likely to develop the disease than those who did none…

Older Coffee Drinkers May Have the Edge

March 22, 2007

Summary: In people over 65 without high blood pressure, increased caffeine intake is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality.

Introduction: Whether coffee drinking causes or prevents cardiovascular disease has been a controversial matter. Some studies point one way, some another. Now researchers have suggested the differences may be related to the ages of the subjects studied. Thus elderly people are more likely than younger persons to experience postprandial hypotension - a fall in blood pressure after meals - that shows a relationship with coronary events and mortality. Maybe coffee, which raises blood pressure, could prevent this effect? This hypothesis has been tested in a study done by New York scientists recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Here's a summary of the study.

Coffee doesn't affect healthy adults' blood pressure

March 21, 2007 - Coffee lovers who are in good health may have little reason to cut back, at least as far as their blood pressure is concerned.

The study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that healthy women who drank upwards of six cups of coffee per day were no more likely than abstainers to develop high blood pressure over the next decade. For men, the risk did not significantly increase or decrease regardless of how much coffee they drank each day.

Scientists say these findings do not pertain to people with high blood pressure or other risk factors that increase their odds of heart disease.

For men, coffee intake didn't seem to have any impact on their high blood pressure risk.
