Signs of the End?
Thanks to a reader for pointing this out to me. The day that the 10 Commandments were removed from the Alabama courthouse the stock markets fell.
The blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average (CBOT:^DJI - News) ended down 6.66 points.
In case you don't get the point...from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 13:
18: This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
It's not God that we really trust anymore, folks!

Monks of the Wester Priory Celebrate 50 Years
Their best singer, the lead vocalist on all those Monks of the Western Priory left the community some years ago. I visited the community some years ago. It is in rural Vermont and quite the center of activity. A little whacko at times, but then so was most of the church at that period. Hopefully, they are doing well.

Sixteen Year Old Might Play in UK-UL Football Game!
From theLouisville Courier Journal:
"University of Louisville freshman Amobe Okoye might be the youngest player in college football this season. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle turned 16 last month.
When he showed up on the depth chart with the second team last weekend, UofL officials started digging. So far, no player younger than Okoye has surfaced.
But that might not stop coach Bobby Petrino from playing the Nigerian-born phenom when the Cardinals open their season Sunday at the University of Kentucky. "

In Post 9/11 Passengers Still Carry Weapons in Carry-On Bags
From Oregon Live:
"Outbound passengers at Portland International Airport recently tried to carry on board the following items:
A 16-pound, clear plastic bowling ball with a hand grenade inside.
A hundred rounds of live ammunition.
A large can of mace.
A desk ornament with a grenade attached.
A razor-sharp martial arts weapon called a 'throwing star.'
The last three were confiscated Wednesday morning in what security agents described as a typical day at PDX.
Discovery of the grenade desk ornament shut down one security lane for about 15 minutes while police were summoned to make sure it was not explosive. "

Power Outage in London During Rush Hour
When I lived in Europe the power was always going out, so I'm not sure how big a story this is but it does have an "erie" parallel to what happened around the great lake a few weeks ago--could it be the work of a hacker sending a message?
From BBC NEWS :
"A rush-hour power cut has caused major disruption on rail and Tube services in London and the South East.
Power returned to the system at about 1900 BST and the rail and tube network took several hours before most services resumed normal operations.
Network Rail said about 1,800 trains were affected by the power cut, caused by a fault with the National Grid.
Train company Connex reported the power went out between London and Ashford, in Kent.
South London was hardest hit and Transport for London said 60% of the Tube network was affected. "

Saintly Aura Appears at Funeral of Priest?
From Ananova:
"Thousands of people who attended the funeral of a Romanian priest believe they saw a miracle when a halo appeared over the church.
Scientists say it was a rare type of circular rainbow that appeared as the priest's body was taken for burial.
A believer told Evenimentul Zilei: 'I am sure it was a sign. It looked like a rainbow but it was circular as a fire aura. It was the father's saint aura.'"
