  The New York Times brings us this hilarious item about Jonathan Klein, president of CNN's domestic operations: 'Mr. Klein said CNN is looking at the long term and trying to set itself apart as a news organization that wants to reach the serious news viewer, one who watches less TV news over all, and is younger than the steady audience for more tabloid news fare.' 'CNN: The network serious viewers don't watch when they're not watching TV'.

 ...establishing the principle that the UN can directly tax citizens of the world is important to Bilderberg. It is another giant step toward world government. Bilderbergers know that publicly promoting a UN tax on all people on Earth would meet with outrage. But they are patient; it [Bilderberg] first proposed a direct world tax years ago and celebrates the fact that it is now in the public dialogue with little public attention or concern.

 'Why do we have to listen to our hearts?'
'Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.'
'But my heart is agitated,"' the boy said. 'It has its dreams, it gets emotional, and it's become passionate over a woman of the desert. It asks things of me, and it keeps me from sleeping many nights, when I'm thinking about her.'
'Well, that's good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say.'

 [A spokeswoman at St. Rita's Church in Alexandria said parishioners were told of the child's death during the morning Mass.] After the efforts of this summer to bring her into the world, this is obviously a devastating loss for the Torres and Rollin families, ... We wish to thank all the people who sustained us in prayer over the past 17 weeks. It was our fondest wish that we could have been able to share Susan's homecoming with the world.

 [A true atheist is one who is willing to face the full consequences of what it means to say there is no God. Given some of what we treat as religion, this is a significant commitment. The bottom line is that] ... many an atheist is a believer without knowing it. You can sincerely believe there is no God and live as though there is. You can sincerely believe there is a God and live as though there isn't. So it goes ... ... Wishful Thinking.
  Frederick Buechner

 [Bell's fourth-and-inches run for a touchdown and his 55-yard touchdown run when the Broncos weren't even trying to score are the killer plays, the plays that make coaches sleep on sofas four nights a week. On Bell's fourth-and-inches touchdown run, the Redskins had him trapped for at least a one-yard loss. They clearly had the perfect defense called to stop him.] We knew what the play was, ... We had guys calling out the play at the line.

 [Benton County Prosecuting Attorney Robin Green said she handled several jury trials in Huffman’s court after he was assigned DWI appeals from municipal courts.] Although I did not always agree with his rulings, I enjoyed Judge Huffman and his personality, ...

 [Bulls center Eddy Curry looks fitter than ever, and it's not just because he's sporting a new mini 'fro hairstyle. The 6-foot-11 man-child worked out most of the summer with personal trainer Tim Grover and showed up for camp at his listed 285, some 20 pounds lighter than he finished last season.] He's in the best shape of his pro career, ... We're excited about it. Hopefully he can settle in now and work on his game and have a great year.

 [But if Boyden grew up canoeing across cold-water lakes and tramping through the birch forests with his relatives, no one ever explained their connection. His parents were raised during the 1930s when native heritage was considered shameful and many mixed-race people would pretend to be white.] I think my grandmother lived with this quietly, unhappily, ... My mother just refused to recognise it so didn't grow up with any kind of prejudice.

 [Date rape is a major alcohol-related problem that schools don't advertise and U.S. News & World Report doesn't mention in its annual college issue. But administrators and counselors deal with it every year. The University of Colorado advised female students,] When you're drunk, you'll have sex with someone you wouldn't have lunch with, so bring a condom. ... The quality of men's manners seems to be directly proportional to how drunk I am.

 [Don't panic. Your banking information isn't lost.
] What most likely is causing problems for people in the affected
area is not a loss of financial or banking data, but the loss of
the telephone and communications infrastructure, ... Once telephone service becomes restored to more and more areas,
and once the affected banks manage to get their own verification
systems back online, the situation should improve.

 [Earlier Son Volt releases possessed a more composed, controlled atmosphere, which showed off Farrar's songwriting chops well, but the new one has a more pervasive sense of urgency, not just lyrically but also musically. There's an immediacy that's palpable.] We were kind of a new configuration, so there's an edge there, a spontaneity that's basically good, ... Maybe we were aware that this was something special that never happened before?

 [Experts noted an increased incidence of cataracts that may or may not interfere with vision. The problems occurred at doses lower than generally though to be a problem.] We need to know what the natural history of these is. Are they going to get worse or stabilize? ...

 [Financier Kirk Kerkorian's hefty investment in General Motors may make him an ally of the CEO instead of a dreaded corporate raider, as the company pushes for unpleasant changes such as forcing unionized employees to pay for more of their medical care and breaking down internal fiefdoms.] It's external ammunition for the changes GM has to make but that others have resisted, ... The Kerkorian bid could be a very good thing for the company.

 [George Connor, associate professor of political science at Missouri State University, said the loss of office jobs in fairly prosperous suburbs of St. Louis and Kansas City might not resonate as much as the closure of one of the state’s major military bases.] Given all the other issues, I can’t see this gaining enough traction to make a difference, ... In a close election, maybe that will be the deciding factor, but it seems unlikely.
