Initially, I was skeptical of this report, since WND isn't a credible news source, but I have turned up independent, corroborating articles from last year and this looks legit. I'm surprised the mainstream media has been silent on this issue.

What does this article mean by a "rebound"? Kind of vague.

House prices were artificially high for a decade or so, and the bubble popped. Do they mean a return to the bubble?

The current situation is bad for some people, but it's also a great time for a young person to buy affordable houses at historically low interest rates.

Time will tell, and we can only hope she has had some sort of conversion experience.

I've noticed a trend, though, where washed-up secular celebrities suddenly become Christians because they think that by doing so they can squeeze a little money out of that demographic. The key point here is that this happens when their secular careers are either over or doing downhill rapidly.

The fact that Winfrey is being coached by celebrity pastors like TD Jakes about how to market herself to appeal to Christians should ring some alarm bells.

This is a real virus, but you have a vanishing small chance of being infected. I believe this AP story is part of a media scare campaign to convince the general public that the Internet is scary. Over the past five months or so, I have seen a dramatic increase in articles of this nature, particularly ones quoting former government officials who now work for consulting companies in the military-industrial complex. They are spreading a lot of scare stories about China, the Internet, viruses, and so on. The more I dig into these stories, the more I see they have no substance at all. Reporters who spread them are often not network security experts and aren't qualified to evaluate what's being said.

By the way, the FBI is running alternate DNS servers because many government computers are infected. The $87k pricetag to keep these servers running is much cheaper than cleaning up the infected government machines. I imagine these alternate DSN servers will keep running until the machines are naturally replaced at the end of their service lifecycle.

Is the 'extra' tax for "hard work" or for the better educated middle/upper class who got the 'better' education because they were born with a good memory and were thus able to access the education system with more chance for the better status, job and financial reward.
If there are people like this, I'm not one of them. I had no advantages at all. I came from a poor background, and I also lived most of my life in a rural area. I never got any kind of handout. I just kept plugging away, learning as much as I could, and mastered a professional field so I could make a living. I'm not smarter or better than other people (and don't have a particularly good memory), but I compressed a lot of experience into a short time frame by doing a lot of learning so I could do my job.

The only advantage I ever had was a Pell Grant. I'm always stunned when I hear the government wants to cut these in any way, because they're the best investment the government can make. Pell Grants allow people to go to college and they turn into lifetime taxpayers with much more income than they otherwise would have had.

My question is what happens when there are more people getting handouts than people working and paying taxes to support them? This system is going to collapse. I would not blame anyone who thought work is for suckers. A case could be made that the tax code as it stands now is designed to discourage hard work and ambition. The harder someone works, the more money is taken away from them (by taking more tax from the next marginal dollar they earn) and used for handouts to people who aren't working. If members of a society are discouraged from working hard, because they see that they keep less of each marginal dollar they earn, then what is the future of that society?

(I don't just mean Federal tax, either. My state actually has a punitive tax on hard work, where they charge a surtax on incomes over a certain amount. This sort of thing doesn't seem healthy.)

Wait, the tax code is now so complicated that the only hope citizens have to protect themselves from the government (which created the tax code in the first place) is to pay a tax professional to indemnify them against mistakes?

If the professionals who do nothing else but write tax software can't get the tax code right, how are citizens who do taxes one weekend per year supposed to understand it?

I am thrilled to see a pastor speaking out against the lottery on moral grounds. I never thought I would see a time when state-sponsored gambling was part of mainstream America.

They lost me after "A Cambridge art historian" - I would possibly read the article if the person was an actual expert in a credible subject. His theory is not based on any sort of factual information, but on "the premise that to ancients, images had a special mystical significance lost in modern times".

Can journalism sink any lower?

Using a tablet is not going to cause autism. That's stupid. Whoever wrote this did not know what autism is. Also, it's irresponsible journalism to use a weasel word like "some researchers" and not back up this claim with a verifiable source. Tablets as consumer devices are so new that no research on children, tablets, and autism could even have been done. The sources cited in this article are not real researchers, they're just book authors and TV producers.

Just when I think journalism has sunk to the lowest point possible, I see something like this.

This "he said, she said" stuff would be unnecessary if organizations which solicit donations would be transparent about how the money they're given is spent. I would not give my money to any organization which was not completely transparent and accountable to the people who give them money.

Followup: The NSA has denied everything.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/nsa-denies-wired/

"Alexander responded to questions about the program, saying the NSA did not have the capability to monitor, inside the United States, Americans' text messages, phone calls and e-mails."

The record suggests otherwise:

Sorry, I meant software projects specifically, not all projects undertaken by the military/industrial complex. Software projects have an abysmal track record.

My concern with this sort of thing is the false positives. When someone has enough data, they can find trends and connections that aren't meaningful. You would not know the NSA even had this data about you, and would have no way to correct false positives.

I'm not too worried, just because the military-industrial complex and its army of consultants has a tragically awful track record of delivering anything that actually works, let alone sticking to a project's time frame and budget. The odds of this NSA data center ever contributing anything useful, or even being completed, are low.

Nate Phelps has spoken out about his family in the past.

Anyone interested in the history of the Phelps family should read "Addicted to Hate", a story done on them in the early 1990s before they were nationally known. This explains a lot about them and what they do.

The idea that Robert Schuller developed some sort of valuable "intellectual property" which he could have monetized on his own but instead gave to his church made me LOL. What he called "possibility thinking" is a rehash of material that was in the public domain long before it ever occurred to him to make a buck off of it. (For more info, research the 19th century preacher Park Quimby and read William James' chapter on healthy-minded religion in "The Varieties of Religious Experience".)

This is what I mean by heresay. The OC Register reported a joint document that was endorsed by Rick Warren and his church, and an Islamic group, but this document has never been released and apparently doesn't exist. Is this a non-story being sensationalized by a newspaper to get page hits? Is this a retroactive denial of everything by a snakebitten Saddleback as damage control? We'll probably never know at this point.

The "King's Way" document that is at the heart of this controversy has not been published. I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. Why would anyone create a document and not publish it?

Therefore this whole controversy is based on hearsay until this document is either published or leaked. The document in question was (apparently) previewed, at least partially, for a select audience at an event. Until the public has access to the document, there's no way to know what it actually says.

The document I could not find is mentioned in the original Orange County newspaper report.

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/muslims-341669-warren-saddleback.html

The document was said to be "proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God" and had a meeting where they "presented a document they co-authored outlining points of agreement between Islam and Christianity" informally called "King's Way".

I am unable to find any such document online. If it exists, I don't know why it wouldn't be online. I looked for it because I wanted to see exactly what it said and what these points of agreement were. I wondered what was going on, and if the original article was accurate. I consider the article to be heresay unless this document actually appears somewhere.

For those not in North Carolina, "UNC" is the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, so the headline is a little misleading. UNCG is one of the university's campuses, but the abbreviation "UNC" is used to mean Chapel Hill.
