The International Space Station Expands AgainThe developing International Space Station (ISS) has changed its appearance again. During the past week, the Space Shuttle Atlantis visited the ISS and added pieces of the Integrated Truss Structure that mirrored those added in September 2006, including a second impressively long array of solar panels. The entire array of expansive solar panels are visible at the edges of the above image taken by the Shuttle Atlantis Crew after leaving the ISS to return to Earth. The world's foremost space outpost can be seen developing over the past several years by comparing the above image to past images. Also visible above are many different types of modules, a robotic arm, another impressive set of solar panels, and a supply ship. Construction began on the ISS in 1998. Glacial Lake Missing |

LONDON — Police thwarted a car bomb attack Friday in London's bustling nightclub and theater district, defusing a crude explosive device made of gasoline, propane gas and nails after an ambulance crew spotted smoke coming from a green Mercedes outside a nightclub. Hours later, police confirmed that a second car bomb was found in the center of the city.
Experts report downward spiral of marine species, but they say quick action could reverse slide
WARSAW/BERLIN/BRU SSELS/LONDON(Own Report) - The power struggle for German voting dominance in the EU Council of Ministers is intensifying in advance of today's summit conference. At issue are the rules of the proposed EU constitution which give a disproportionate increase of power for Berlin. The German government is intent on forcing this through at any price whilst Warsaw attempts to resist the increasing disempowerment of the smaller EU member states. The Polish foreign minister's representative for bilateral negotiations with the German government, Mariusz Musczynski, said "At the moment, Germany appears to be striving only for power in the EU". On account of its resistance, German politicians and EU representatives are threatening Poland with reduction in its EU subsidies. A strategy paper by high-ranking Social Democrat MPs made clear exactly what the aims of German policy are. They demand the creation of a European army, removing the ability of nations to make decisions about peace or war. Atomic weapons are included. The Polish commentator Piotr Buras wrote this concerning the critical negotiations "The dilemma of a European Germany or of a German Europe, which exercised European capitals during the Nineties, is no longer an empty form of words".

A state of emergency was in place for all of Oklahoma on Friday, and flood watches and warnings were posted for river communities. A flood watch was in effect for 28 counties in Texas, where the storms have been blamed for at least 11 deaths.

Possibly Tainted Fish From China Detained by FDA for Inspection
WASHINGTON — Farmed seafood joined tires, toothpaste and toy trains on the list of tainted and defective products from China that could be hazardous to a person's health.
Federal health officials said Thursday that they were detaining three types of Chinese fish -- catfish, basa and dace -- as well as shrimp and eel after repeated testing has turned up contamination with drugs unapproved in the United States for use in farmed seafood.
The officials said there was no immediate health risk and stopped short of ordering an outright ban.
The Food and Drug Administration announcement was only the latest in an expanding series of problems with imported Chinese products that seemingly permeate U.S. society.

EU leaders scrape treaty deal at 11th hour
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - After a marathon round of talks, the EU has finally agreed the outline of a new treaty for the bloc with formal intergovernmental negotiations to start on 23 July.
At around 05:00 local time on Saturday morning - following a full day and a half of tense discussion - a triumphant Angela Merkel, German chancellor, announced to press that a deal had been struck and that Europe would be able to move out the "reflection" phase it has been in since the draft EU constitution was rejected two years ago.

A hacker has managed to penetrate one of the Pentagon's e-mail systems, leading officials to take up to 1,500 accounts offline.
The e-mail system did not contain classified information relating to military operations, a spokesman said.
The Pentagon says it rebuffs hundreds of attempted attacks on its computer systems each day.

The Peak Oil Crisis: Approaching The Cliff
Last weekend across southern South Dakota the pumps went dry. Gas terminals from Sioux Falls to Yankton to Sioux City were empty. “There is simply not enough fuel coming down the pipeline into the delivery system” said a BP station owner. Eventually the tankers were sent to Nebraska to find gas. A minor glitch in the distribution? Possibly, but more likely a harbinger of more serious problems to come.
Meanwhile, I would like to tell you that Congress, which has been debating energy bills for the last two weeks, is getting ready to pass legislation that will make our lives easier during the troubled years ahead. Sadly, I cannot. From their public pronouncements and posturing, it is unlikely more than a dozen members of Congress have the slightest idea of what 2007 energy legislation should be trying to accomplish in an urgent manner.

Hypocrisy That Undermines Civilization
There is only a thin veneer that separates civilization from man's innate barbarity.
Some 2,500 years ago the historian Thucydides once warned us about the irony of revolutionaries and insurrectionists destroying this fragile patina of culture, as if they themselves might be exempt from ever wanting it back again.
Yet no sooner, he warned, have such outsiders torn down the system of law than they are in need of it themselves when they assume power and the responsibility of governance. Even the worst terrorist apparently wants his wife and kids to be safe — and able to drink clean water when turning on the faucet. The trick apparently is to blow up the neighborhood's electric pylon while still finding enough light and power to assemble an IED device.

Biblical Perspective
What Science Can’t Discover about the HUMAN MIND
THINK! Will any human person still be alive
on this Earth in another five or ten years?
The number one problem we all face today
is that of HUMAN SURVIVAL!
WHY has the human mind produced such
AWESOMEmoder n progress, yet remains
HELPLESS in the face of such appalling EVILS?
The answer to this baffling enigma lies in
the HUMAN MIND. In the following pages you
will learn what psychologists and scientists do
not know about the HUMAN MIND!
WHY CANNOT THE GREATEST MINDS SOLVE world problems? Scientists have said, “Given sufficient knowledge, and we shall solve all human problems and cure all our evils.”
However, as the world’s fund of knowledge rapidly increases, so too do humanity’s evils. WHY? Is something wrong with the human MIND? Is something MISSING? There most certainly is a MISSING DIMENSION in human knowledge. A human manufacturer sends along with the instrument or device he manufactures an INSTRUCTION BOOKLET describing what his product is intended to do with full directions for accomplishing its purpose. The most perfect mechanism ever designed and made is the marvelous mind and body that is MAN. And it is also only natural that our Maker sent along His INSTRUCTION MANUAL—revealing for our good what we ARE, WHY we are, where we are going, and what is the way.

Do Pets Really Have Personality?
Think Your Pet has Personality? Science Didn't. Until Now - Scientists are puzzled by findings that suggest personality traits are not consistent within species.
Share The great Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov was one of the first to observe personality differences in the dogs he studied in his lab during the late 1800s. He could make all of them salivate at the sound of a bell in anticipation of food, but some of them just seemed to get into it more than others.
Down through the years a number of other scientists have discovered what seem to be personality traits in various animals, but the question of animal personalities has largely been ignored by science. Possibly because personality has long been considered distinctively human.
