Farmer devoured by his own hogs: Family found dentures, body parts after he failed to return from feeding

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:19:00 -0700

COQUILLE, Ore. — Authorities are investigating how a U.S. farmer was eaten by his hogs. The district attorney’s office says 70-year-old Terry Vance Garner never returned after he set out to feed his animals Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast. A family member later found Garner’s dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure, but most of his remains had been consumed. The district attorney’s office said in a statement Monday that it’s possible Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals before he was killed. But criminal activity has not been ruled out. Authorities estimate the hogs weigh 700 pounds. The DA’s office says one hog had either bitten or been aggressive with Garner previously.

LAURENS COUNTY, S.C. -- People all over the country have started to notice images of unidentified objects showing up on Google Maps. Recently, users of Google Maps’ Street View feature pointed out UFO-like shapes above Jacksonville, TX and Acoma Pueblo, NM. A Laurens County man tells 7 On Your Side the same figure appears over Highway 221 South in Waterloo. “I was extremely shocked. But I was hesitant to share it with anybody,” said Frankie Elgin of Waterloo. Elgin decided to use Google Map’s street view feature to check out...

Biodegradable urns use human remains to grow trees

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:17:00 -0700

Two industrial designers in Spain have come up with a way for people to continue reducing their own carbon footprint, even after they die. The eco-friendly Bios Urn, designed by Martin Azua and Gerard Moline, is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shells, compacted peat and cellulose. Inside the urn is a seed. Cremated human remains are placed into the urn alongside the seed and buried. As a good source of phosphorous, human remains help to fertilize the seed, which will eventually germinate and grow into a tree. Depending on...

Two strong quakes jolt northern Japan

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:16:00 -0700

TOKYO — A strong 6.2-magnitude quake struck off northern Japan on Tuesday but there were no immediate reports of major damage and no tsunami alert was issued, U.S. seismologists said. It hit at 7:21 a.m. in waters 96 kilometers east of Miyako on the main island of Honshu at a depth of 9.7 kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was followed by a 5.1-magnitude jolt roughly 30 minutes later, which hit 107 kilometers east of Miyako. It was measured at a depth of 37.9 kilometers, the USGS said. The area was badly damaged...

Iran’s economy ‘on the verge of collapse’ as currency loses 1/4 of its value in seven days

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:10:00 -0700

Iran’s rial plunged against the U.S. dollar in open-market trade on Monday, taking its loss in value over the past week to more than a quarter in further evidence that Western sanctions are shattering the economy. The freefall suggests sanctions imposed over Iran’s nuclear program are undermining its ability to earn foreign exchange and that its reserves of hard currency may be running low. The rial traded at 34,200 per dollar according to currency-tracking website Mazanex, down from about 29,720 on Sunday. It was trading at 24,600 last Monday,..

Eurozone faces October of unrest, with Greece, Spain troubles in focus

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:09:00 -0700

Europe faces a month that may decide the success of the European Central Bank’s bid to end the debt crisis, starting with the resumption of talks in Athens Monday between Greece’s international creditors and the government. Leaders of the 17-nation euro area are confronting a tougher approach from the German-led pro-austerity bloc and unrest in Spain over budget cuts and a separatist movement in Catalonia. The first of three summits in the next three months, called “crucial” by European Union President Herman Van Rompuy, is set for...

Fiscal cliff could cost U.S. households an extra US$3,446 in taxes

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:07:00 -0700

U.S. households are facing an average tax increase of $3,446 in 2013 if Congress doesn’t avert the so-called fiscal cliff, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center said in a study released Monday. The top 1% of households face some of the largest tax increases in 2013 and would see their after-tax incomes fall by 10.5% if Congress does nothing. That would translate to an average tax increase of $120,537 for that group. A typical middle-income household earning between about US$40,000 and US$60,000 would face a tax increase of about...

Korea peninsula could face "thermonuclear war," North tells U.N.

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:06:00 -0700

(Reuters) - U.S. policy toward North Korea has made the Korean peninsula the most dangerous place on the planet because a "spark" there could ignite a nuclear war, a senior North Korean official told the U.N. General Assembly on Monday. One of the last speakers at the 193-nation assembly's annual gathering in New York, North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Pak Kil-yon was also full of praise for Kim Jong-un, the reclusive communist country's young new leader. "Today, due to the continued U.S. hostile policy towards DPRK, the vicious cycle of...

Newly-Discovered Comet May Outshine The Moon

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:05:00 -0700

A newly-discovered comet should become one of the brightest lights in the sky - even outshining the Moon, according to astronomers. Russian astronomers recently spotted comet 2012 S1 (ISON) 90 million kilometres from the Earth, according to a report by National Geographic. It is currently a faint glow streaking between Saturn and Jupiter, but as the Sun's gravity draws the comet closer, dust and ice will be blasted off, it giving it a highly-reflective tail. Depending on how big the tails gets, the three-kilometre wide comet may become more...

Paul Crouch Flips Off TBN Cameras in Jerusalem!

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:05:00 -0700

Today, the Los Angeles Times ran an interesting piece about how Costa Mesa-based Trinity Broadcasting Network was establishing a bigger presence in Israel, in preparation for the End Times and to turn Jews on to Jesus. And it was the validation I needed to publish a picture of TBN head Paul Crouch that a source of mine forwarded to me, of what they say is an undoctored photo Paul flipping off TBN cameras in Jerusalem last month. See, I couldn't believe the picture at first. Like, why was Crouch wearing a cleric's collar in the leaked photo? Why did he have a pinkie ring? Why are his jowls so low? But then I saw the picture of Crouch in the Times piece and he's wearing the EXACT SAME clerical collar. And we passed it by our production department, who stopped playing Ping Pong for a second to opine it's the real Don Steele.

Daystar, TBN ready for Messiah in Jerusalem

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 08:01:00 -0700

JERUSALEM — If the Messiah descends from the Mount of Olives as foretold in the Bible, America's two biggest Christian broadcasters are well-positioned to cover it live thanks to recent acquisitions of adjacent Jerusalem studios on a hill overlooking the Old City. Texas-based Daystar Television Network already beams a 24-hour-a-day live webcam from its terrace. Not to be outdone, Costa Mesa-based Trinity Broadcasting Network last month bought the building next door. The dueling studios are part of an aggressive push by U.S...

Megachuch pastor Joel Osteen dodges CNN questions on homosexuality

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 07:59:00 -0700

September 27, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Texas Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen squirmed under a barrage of question about his beliefs on homosexuality during a discussion on CNN’s “Talking points with Soledad O’Brien” last Thursday. The conversation began as a discussion between Osteen and New Age self-help guru Deepak Chopra about the importance of positive thinking, but then abruptly turned to homosexuality. “Almost every time we have a pastor on, it’s a conversation we have,” CNN host O’Brien explained to Osteen. “I always wonder...

Federal judge to business owners: Your Christian beliefs mean nothing...Obey Obamacare or pay hefty fines!

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Tue, 2 Oct 2012 07:57:00 -0700

ST. LOUIS • A federal judge in St. Louis has dismissed a claim that the 2010 health care reform law’s contraception mandate violates an employer’s religious freedom. It is believed to be the first decision on the merits among more than two dozen such lawsuits across the country. O’Brien Industrial Holdings, owned by Frank O’Brien, a devout Catholic, filed notice Monday of appeal. The law requires coverage of prescription birth control pills and implants at no cost to enrollees in all private health insurance policies, starting in 2013. U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson ruled late Friday that the “regulations do not impose a ‘substantial burden’ on either Frank O’Brien or OIH, and do not violate (their) rights.” O’Brien’s lawyer, Francis Manion, said he thinks Jackson’s ruling is “not well-supported by the law or logic.” He added...

Your move, creep: Researchers building RoboCop policeman

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 16:01:00 -0700

You've double-parked your car to pick something up when a robot rolls up and threatens to give you a ticket. You might laugh, but the thing's talking with a human voice. Researchers at Florida International University's Discovery Lab are working with a member of the U.S. Navy Reserves to build telepresence robots that could patrol while being controlled by disabled police officers and military vets. In a sense, they would be hybrid man-machine cops, like RoboCop. Lieutenant Commander Jeremy Robins has given $20,000 to the lab and...

California becomes first state in nation to ban 'gay cure' therapy for children

Updated at 12:34 p.m. ET: California has become the first state in the nation to ban therapy that tries to turn gay teens straight. Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed Senate Bill 1172, which prohibits children under age 18 from undergoing “sexual orientation change efforts.” The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, prohibits state-licensed therapists from engaging in these practices with minors.

Embracing 3-D Printers, Manufacturer Tells Customers to Print Their Own Replacement Parts

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:59:00 -0700

Want a new part for your synthesizer? Need a replacement knob or dial? In a first, one company is telling its customers to just print their own. It’s a move that signifies a major step into a new commercial marketplace, where customers can buy products directly from companies for on-demand, at-home manufacturing. And while we probably won’t see complicated, mechanical products from big corporations reaching us through Thingiverse for a while yet, knobs and dials are the perfect static, detachable objects to begin the...

School bans parents watching sports day without criminal record check

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:58:00 -0700

A school has banned parents from watching their children take part in sports events - unless they pass a criminal records check. The Isambard Community School in Swindon, Wilts., insists all parents must clear a Criminal Records Bureau check to weed out potential paedophiles. Neil Park, 54, was furious when he was turned away from watching his son George, 12, play rugby. The father-of-five said: "I was turned away from the school because I had not been CRB checked. "I couldn't believe it. Government guidelines state that parents are allowed...

US Futurologist Michio Kaku - 'Eternal Life Does Not Violate the Laws of Physics'

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:55:00 -0700

In his best-selling book "Physics of the Future," American professor Michio Kaku lays out his vision for the world in 2100. Kaku, the son of Japanese immigrants, spoke to SPIEGEL about a future in which toilets will have health monitoring sensors and contact lenses will be connected to the Internet. Professor Kaku, in your book you write about how we will be like gods in the future. Are you saying that our grandchildren will be gods? Isn't that a bit immodest? Kaku: Just think for a moment about our forefathers in the year 1900. They lived to be 49 years old on average and traveled with horse-drawn wagons. Long distance communication was yelling out the window. If these people could see us today with mobile phones at our ears, Facebook on our screens and traveling with planes they would consider us wizards. SPIEGEL: It's still a big step to go from wizards to gods. Kaku: So what do gods do? Apollo has unlimited power from the sun, Zeus can turn himself into a swan or anything else and Venus has a perfect body. Gods can move objects with their mind, rearrange things, and have perfect bodies. Our grandchildren will be able to do just that. SPIEGEL: Let's do a little time traveling. Close your eyes and imagine waking up on a September morning in the year 2112. What do you see? Kaku: More important than what I see, is what will be omnipresent. Intelligence will be everywhere in the future, just like electricity is everywhere today. We now just assume that there's electricity in the walls, the floor, the ceiling. In the future we will assume that everything is intelligent, so intelligence will be everywhere and nowhere. As children, we will be taught how to manipulate things around us just by talking to them and thinking. Children will believe that everything is alive. SPIEGEL: We'll ask the question in a different way. What will we experience on this morning in 2112? Kaku: When we wake up, the first thing we want to know is what's going on in the world. So we put in our intelligent contact lenses and with a blink we are online. If you want information, movies, virtual reality, it is all in your contact lenses. Then we'll drive to work. SPIEGEL: Driving? How boring! Kaku: Aw, you want to fly? Cars may even fly, but we will also be able to manipulate our cars just by thinking. So, if you want to get into your car, you simply think, and you call your car. The car drives itself, and boom, there you are. SPIEGEL: So our grandchildren will fly to work. And what will change there? Kaku: If you are a college student, you blink and you can see all the answers to the final examination by wearing your contact lenses. Artists will wave their hands in the air and create beautiful works of art. If you're an architect, you will see what you are creating and just move towers, two apartment buildings around as you construct things. SPIEGEL: Why do we have to even bother leaving the house if all of our needs, questions and desires are played out virtually on our grandiose contact lenses? Kaku: Well, you will want to go outside because we are humans, and our personality hasn't changed in 100,000 years. We're social creatures. We like to size each other up, figure out who's on first, who's on second. But technology will be able to help with that. In 2100, for example, when you talk to people, you will see their biography listed right in front of you. If you are looking for a date, you sign up for a dating service. When you go outside and people walk by you, their faces light up if they're available. If someone speaks to you in Chinese, your contact lens will translate from Chinese to English. We will still resist certain technologies, however, because they go against who we are. SPIEGEL: What's an example of that? Kaku: The paperless office. The paperless office was a failure, because we like tangible things. If I give you a choice between tickets to see your favorite famous rock star or a video of a close-up of your favorite rock star, which would you choose? SPIEGEL: The concert tickets naturally. Kaku: That's the caveman in us. The caveman in you says, "I want direct contact. I don't want a picture." The caveman in our body says once in a while, we have to go outside. We have to meet real people, talk to real people, and do real things. SPIEGEL: Speaking of real things, we were fascinated by the toilet of the future described in your book. Kaku: Yeah. You will still have to go to the bathroom because our biology hasn't changed. But your toilet will have more computer power than a university hospital does today. SPIEGEL: The toilet as a supercomputer? Kaku: Your toilet will have a chip in it called a "DNA chip." It will analyze enzymes, proteins and genes for cancer. In this way we will be able to fight cancer long before a tumor even has a chance to develop. We will be able to also detect other illnesses early and fight them. But we will still have the common cold. There are at least 300 different rhinoviruses and you need to have a vaccine for each one. No company is going to do that, because it is going to bankrupt a large corporation to make a vaccine for each of them. SPIEGEL: What a defeat! Comfort us -- did you not just refer to the perfect body of Venus? Kaku: The nature of medicine will shift away from basically saving lives to perfection. We will be able to rearrange our own genome. SPIEGEL: I assume that you mean to make ourselves prettier, stronger and generally better? Kaku: Those ambitions will be there. SPIEGEL: As we get a better handle on genetic technologies, won't there be more of an urge to create designer babies? Kaku: We need a debate about these issues. This is going to create societal problems. You have to have an educated public democratically debating how far to push our beautiful children and the human race. SPIEGEL: Will we eventually be able to conquer death? Kaku: Eternal life does not violate the laws of physics, surprisingly enough. After all, we only die because of one word: "error." The longer we live, the more errors there are that are made by our bodies when they read our genes. That means cells get sluggish. The body doesn't function as well as it could, which is why the skin ages. Then organs eventually fail, so that's why we die. SPIEGEL: What can we do about that? Kaku: We know the genes that correct these things. So if we use genetic repair mechanisms, we might be able to repair cells so they don't wear out, so they just keep on going. That is as real possibility. We will also be able to regenerate organs by growing new ones. That can already be done now. SPIEGEL: Then we will get rid of death? Kaku: In principle, yes. SPIEGEL: Then how will we decide who gets to live and who must die? Who will be allowed to have children? Kaku: I don't think children or overpopulation are going to be a problem. When people live longer, they have fewer children. We see that in Japan, the US and in other countries where prosperity, education and urbanization are on the rise.

2 minor earthquakes shake North Texas communities

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:51:00 -0700

Two minor earthquakes shook North Texas Saturday night and residents may feel a few aftershocks in the next few days, a geophysicist said Sunday. No major damage or injuries were reported. The first minor earthquake measuring a preliminary 3.4 magnitude rattled the community of Irving, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake struck at 11:05 p.m. Saturday and was centered about 2 miles north of Irving, the survey's national earthquake monitoring center in Golden, Colo., reported. That quake lasted several seconds and was strong enough to have been felt near the epicenter and possibly as far as 15 or 20 miles away. "If someone was inside a home and close to the epicenter, there could have been things falling off shelves," geophysicist Don Blakeman said in a telephone interview Sunday from Colorado. Generally, depending on soil, structures and how close a building is to an epicenter, serious damage could occur at magnitude 4.5 or higher, Blakeman said. Injuries might be reported after a 5.0 magnitude quake. Within a couple of minutes, a second earthquake with a preliminary 3.1 magnitude shook North Texas about seven miles west of Dallas, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. "That was probably more an aftershock," Blakeman said. "There could be swarms of quakes later that are much smaller." The preliminary magnitudes of the earthquakes could be revised up or down once further data is obtained, officials said.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 30 – A grenade attack killed one child and wounded nine others in a Nairobi church on Sunday, a day after Islamist fighters abandoned their last bastion in neighbouring Somalia in the face of an assault by Kenyan and other troops. The blast occurred during a service for young children at the Anglican St. Polycarp church, which lies in Pangani on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital. Blood-stained children’s jackets and shoes lay scattered on the floor, surrounded by remnants of metal walls that were broken and twisted by...

Big Changes Are Coming, But The World Will Not End

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:46:00 -0700

Today 40 year veteran, Robert Fitzwilson, wrote the following piece exclusively for King World News. Fitzwilson, who is founder of The Portola Group, warned, “Changes are coming, but it doesn’t mean the world will come to an end. But financial regime changes do result in a massive transfer of wealth from those who own paper assets, to those that own real assets.” “Reflecting upon the news and the current state of affairs, it is striking how events are playing out according to script, as history and strategists have predicted. In the beginning of...

Catalonia's growing calls for independence add to Spain's worsening euro crisis woes

It is wealthy, industrial, and sees itself as the regional engine for growth. It is also fed up with paying for its poorer neighbours. It is not Germany, but Catalonia. And the Spanish region's politicians certainly don't mind the comparison. "An economist just this morning told me that he saw Catalonia as being to Spain what Germany is to Europe," said Joan Vidal, chief of staff for the president of Spain's most economically powerful region. "That shows that we have our own image, while Brand Spain is really suffering. "Of course, things have been done here...

Attacks on 6 Banks Frustrate Customers

lordsknightministries@yahoo.com (Lords Knight Ministries) — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:43:00 -0700

Six major American banks were hit in a wave of computer attacks last week, by a group claiming Middle Eastern ties, that caused Internet blackouts and delays in online banking. Frustrated customers of Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo and PNC, who could not get access to their accounts or pay bills online, were upset because the banks had not explained clearly what was going on. “It was probably the least impressive corporate presentation of bad news I’ve ever seen,” said Paul Downs, a small-business owner in...
