Video cameras scattered throughout Downtown and other neighborhoods would eventually be linked in a surveillance network, under a proposal by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. A week ago, the city sent 21 security companies an outline of a plan to cast a video surveillance web from Downtown to high-crime neighborhoods, and maybe beyond. The administration wants firms to compete this year to craft a plan and win a camera contract. Cameras "will provide more security for the citizens," said Police Chief Nate Harper. Video evidence can make prosecutions for everything from drunken driving...

Healthy, Tasty... Expensive STOCKHOLM (JP) - Farmers in northern Sweden are milking moose, hoping that cheese-lovers with deep pockets will develop a taste for moose cheese. It's healthy and tasty - and very expensive (nearly $500 per pound) because moose milk is hard to obtain. Christer & Ulla Johansson started the 59-acre "Moose House" - the only moose dairy farm in Europe - seven years ago in Bjursholm (400 miles north of Stockholm). Moose House has 14 moose in the fields, but only three cows (Gullan, Haelga & Juna) can be milked. The cows were found as abandoned calves in...

My dear brothers and sisters, I thank my Father in Heaven that He has prolonged my life to be a part of these challenging times. I thank Him for the opportunity of service. I have no desire but to do all that I can in furthering the work of the Lord, in serving His faithful people, and in living at peace with my neighbors.

We then dedicated the Newport...

Being new and all, I don't understand what a ping is...

JERUSALEM -- A grassroots Jewish organization plans to bring 10,000 Jews to the heavily restricted Temple Mount to spark Israeli dialogue about reclaiming the holy site from its Muslim custodians. "The Temple Mount is the single holiest place in the world for Jews. It's about time the Israeli government restores it to the Jewish people, where it belongs," David Ha'ivri, chairman of Revava, the group orchestrating the gathering, told WND. The visit, scheduled for April 10, would be the largest Jewish presence at the Temple Mount since the ancient Temple period, said Haivri. The Mount is the area directly behind...

I was just thinking about the Jeremy Glick episode. O'Reilly may be moderate politically, but that doesn't mean unbiased these days. His problem is that he isn't neutral when it comes to the United States. He is pro-American. To the left, that's biased.

Yeah....alright!... Indeed, there is a Devine Intervention with what is happening right now... I think Osama is shaving his long beared right now to avoid arrest...

Was it a biblical warning or just imaginations running wild?

LONDON: US and British special forces have cornered Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in a mountainous area in northwest Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border, the Sunday Express newspaper reported. Quoting “a US intelligence source”, it said Bin Laden and up to 50 fanatical henchmen were inside an area 16 kilometres wide and deep “north of the town of Khanozai and Quetta”. “He is boxed in,” the unidentified source was quoted by the tabloid as saying, adding that US special forces were “absolutely confident” that he could not escape. According to the source, Bin Laden moved into Toba Kakar mountains,...
