Translating the Body Language of Hands Extended, and Not
ROME, April 8 - Papal funerals are not supposed to be about diplomacy, but put this many world leaders in one section of St. Peter's Square, and diplomacy happens. And so, at the funeral of Pope John Paul II, there was news about a president of the United States who did not shake the hands of two Middle Eastern adversaries, and a president of Israel who did.

The Oracle of Omaha's Latest Riddle
WHEN Berkshire Hathaway shareholders gather here in three weeks for their annual meeting, they will be treated to another homespun video starring the company's chairman, Warren E. Buffett. This year's plot is still a secret, but Mr. Buffett's co-star in last year's video was Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California.

Two Women Bound by Sports, War and Injuries
WASHINGTON - For 25 days at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Specialist Danielle Green wondered if anyone could ever understand. But on the 26th day, a nurse told her: "A new female patient came in today. You have a lot in common."
"Really?" Specialist Green said, and the nurse nodded.

An appeal in this case is certain from either side and I wouldn't have given testimony to the EPA in 2003 at the New Source Review if I didn't believe Carbon Dioxide was as lethal as NOX and SOX. I have been proven correct over and over again. With a court willing to balance the opinion and 'place' of the USA on a global scale when considering issues that beset others of other countries due to the potency of USA pollution there is better than a 'good' chance the Supreme Court will find it's own citizen survival in the balance and rule in favor of EPA regulation of CO2. It is no longer a 'luxury' to consider. There is also some dangerous ASSUMPTIONS being made by some Paleoecologists. It is true the Artic Ocean has melted completely in Earth's past. THAT does not mean the ocean temperatures were more than 1 degree C. The algae are not necessarily survivors of Human Induced Global Warming as they might have been in past warming events when the climate was warm but not necessarily this warm. Carbon dioxide levels in Ice Cores aren't now evidence to Ocean and Climate Temperatures ! There has been no proof of that correlation.
One other thing.
It is impossible from a scientific standpoint to ascertain any ocean temperature from Ice Cores. The study is impossible. If one reads my testimony you'll learn that 'homo sapien' manifests on Earth a full 20,000 years after the end of the last warming cycle. We have never been proven to survive this in the past. We are gambling with our very lives. Besides the 'doomsday' potential. Weather patterns have proven deadly and with the reduction of CO2 will return a reasonable biosphere.
2 Sides Do Battle in Court on Whether E.P.A. Should Regulate Carbon Dioxide

$1 million fraud case uncovered

An Auckland accountant has been struck off after fleecing his clients out of more than $1 million in an elaborate fraud that took years to uncover.
Between 1991 and early 2000 Ian Clarke - who ran a small North Shore practice doing accounts, taxes and GST returns for individuals and small companies - stole more than $1 million from his clients, many who had no idea that they were being defrauded until they were told by police.

LONDON - The bride wore an ivory chiffon dress, an oyster silk basket weave coat offset by a wide-brimmed feather-detailed hat. The groom was in a conservative double-breasted suit and a cream-coloured waistcoat. After two months of muddled preparations - and a lifetime of waiting - Charles and Camilla, the future ruling monarchs of England, finally last night said the words "I do", sealing their union in a quiet civil ceremony in the gothic surrounds of the Guildhall.
