| Teaching of evolution may be affected
Just look at liquor laws on Sunday. As to evolution what shall we do? Ignor facts. The earth was not created in seven days. I do belive in god. But some facts cannot be ignored. I know it sucks. I agree with post 2. Let schools teach it's not a church. If ya want your kids taught that way most private schools are religious. (Suggest removal) .

Art Attack with Carl Collison
The project is the brainchild of Bettina Malcomess, currently an art theory lecturer at the University of Cape Town's Michaelis School of Fine Art. Malcomess developed the Keleketla concept as part of her residency at the Drill Hall. The children's library is a welcome addition to an area of Jozi that is treading a fine line between being a no-man's land and being gentrified. "For me it is an art project, because it is so cleverly strategised. It works with the space beautifully and because it is about knowledge production," says noted fine artist Dorothy Kreutzfeldt about the library. Kreutzfeld also heads up the Joubert Park Project (JPP), a non-profit collective of artists "who share a passion for the inner city of Johannesburg'' and manifest this passion "through various public art projects which engage the Johannesburg Art Gallery and it's surrounds, artists, other organisations and, most importantly, the local residents", and who have, since the onset, been actively involved in getting this project off the ground.

If we are going to build a new wing on a hospital or an additional retirement home, we will need additional electricity. So, beyond what impacts occur in the immediate vicinity that are visible and obvious to local residents, there are significant impacts to residents in faraway places." "Not only humans but the bear also has the right to clean water, fresh air and a supportive habitat"- CPN's Barbara HillWhat made the recent Cape Cod Commission decision to reject Cape Wind's application for its cables to come ashore "so egregious," Hill said, is that by holding Cape Wind "to a much higher standard than similar electric cables and essentially obstructing the project, the decision shamefully ignores and lacks any global perspective." "Cape Wind must be built," Hill said.
QB mystique: From castoff to greatest
The greatest quarterback of all time was originally unwanted, rejected, rebuffed and basically projected to be a stiff in the judgment of the wise men who select athletes for the sophisticated NFL. Now, I am uncertain as to the identity of the greatest quarterback of all time. This special individual, once deemed bereft of talent, keeps changing from year to year. And from era to era. And who's to argue? It might be Tom Brady. He is the current greatest quarterback of all time, as anointed by ESPN. But now near the climax of his remarkable renaissance, Brett Favre has been selected by a gaggle of self-styled experts as the greatest quarterback of all time. .
Mourners pay candlelight tribute to seven young N.B. basketball ...
BATHURST, N.B. - The seven high school basketball players killed last weekend in a highway accident in northern New Brunswick were remembered Wednesday as loving sons, sweet brothers and trusted friends who will be loved forever in their heartbroken hometown. The funeral for all seven boys brought the city of Bathurst to a standstill as schools and businesses closed and about 5,500 people crowded into a hockey arena and an adjacent rink to hear the service. "You have lost your precious sons," Bathurst Mayor Stephen Brunet told the families of the boys. "We have lost seven future leaders. For a moment just imagine in your mind what they could have done." The boys' coffins lay side by side at one end of the arena, covered with sprays of flowers.
Tatas, Briley in business jet venture
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: After circling around the aviation business for almost a decade, the Tata group, which pioneered aviation in India, took the plunge on Tuesday. (In Video)
The steel-to-salt conglomerate has picked up a `significant stake' in Bjets—a business jet operator that plans to start aircraft charter and fractional ownership programmes. Bjets announced an order for 50 biz-jets, largely Cessna Citation CJ2s and Hawker Xps, worth about Rs 2,400 crore. The Singapore-based Briley Group is the majority shareholder in Bjets with Indian Hotels. The exact shareholding has not been disclosed.
The business aircraft charter market in India is fragmented, with no single large player that offers corporates a mixed fleet of various aircraft types. Though the number of business jets being bought has grown exponentially in the past few years, most are being brought in by companies for their own use.
Knifeman jailed for terrifying knife attack on teenager
Undy was charged with attempted murder but eventually pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated attempting to cause serious harm. Judge Simpson said Undy had co-operated with police after giving himself up but could not give a reasonable explanation for the attack. "You told police you had no idea why you did what you did and asked if you could apologise to the victim," she said. Undy, who suffers agoraphobia and panic attacks, was suicidal and had been drinking in the hours leading up to the incident. The 48-year-old had eight prior convictions for assault. Undy will be eligible for parole after serving three and a half years behind bars. Ms Utting said she was happy with the sentence, which she described as "fair".
Fugitives can run, but they need not hide
And agencies, citing stretched budgets and staffs, routinely fail to take basic steps to increase the odds that those fugitives will be caught.It’s impossible to determine the extent of the problem because laws and policies keep secret much of the information on those sought on arrestwarrants.Career law enforcement officials said the problems had existed for years with little attention and little consensus on solutions.Nearly all the victims interviewed by the Post-Dispatch said they had not known that the person who harmed them or their families was a fugitive who had been detained and released."They’re basically getting back out on the streets without anything on their record," said Latoya Turner, one of Williams’ victims. "That’s just giving them permission to keep raping and robbing."Technology helpsThe FBI introduced the technology to help catch fleeing fugitives more than 40 years ago.Called the National Crime Information Center, the FBI computer system is a data bank that police agencies across the nation use to track fugitives: crime suspects whom police can’t find, and defendants who skip court or violate probation or parole.Any police agency can enter fugitives’ names, birthdates and other identifying information into the system.

Giants-Patriots Super Bowl the second most-watched TV show ever
The New York Giants' thrilling win over New England was the most-watched Super Bowl ever with 97.5 million viewers, a total that is second only to the "M-A-S-H" finale audience, Nielsen Media Research said Monday. The game eclipsed the previous Super Bowl record of 94.08 million, set when Dallas defeated Pittsburgh in 1996. The final "M-A-S-H" episode, which drew 106 million viewers in 1983, is the only other show in American broadcast history watched by more people. Sunday's game had almost all the ingredients Fox could have hoped for: a tight contest with an exciting finish involving a team that was attempting to make history as the NFL's first unbeaten team since 1972. But the Giants ended New England's bid for perfection, 17-14. Throughout the game, the teams were never separated by more than a touchdown.
