Although sarah90 has cited an undocumented stable of scholars, she's right about one thing: it appears that Jesus was executed by Romans. That does not diminish the issue that Jesus was first condemned by Jews at the Sanhedrin, also cited by scholars. Oh, and many scholars are citing that historical ...

As a casual Christian who supports Israel and Jewish traditions, I see this critique as over-kill, relative to the plot and the production. Historic records of the time are far more solid than other similar historic events. Keep in mind that Jesus WAS a Jew who was condemned by other ...

Mr. McMahon provides a beautiful picture of potential future trends but I must say that this piece is more about the vision of an urban planner and less about a study of statistical trends. I agree with Mr. McMahon, in that, the trend toward town and urban centers will be ...

In either scenario, whether we export our coal or not, algal synthesis, as proposed by MBD may make coal power very attractive in the coming years.

The coal power controversy may have a game changer on the horizon. MBD Energy in Australia is working on a process to convert the CO2 byproduct from coal power generation into algae meal, biofuel and oxygen through algal synthesis. You can find out more here: http://www.mbdenergy.com/catalogue/c10. We may do well ...

As the "Fly" points out, mining and similar extractive industries have boosted the economy of Oz. Here's a link: http://www.economywatch.com/world_economy/australia/ this explains it. If we could only get a handle on health care costs(which our democrat-led feds failed to do) as well as put common sense environmental regs in place, ...

Knute, I think you hit the nail on the head. The office should carry more weight (and does not) because it lives in the in-born society of McDermottstan. As a manager in a state-wide organization, I had the unfortunate opportunity to witness the current Mayor and his office many times. ...

I am sad to see that the grand vision that Jim Ellis tried to instill through our thick skulls over the last half decade is just about forgotten. If he were chipper enough to take on Puget Sound, I would wager that we wouldn't be here today chasing our tails ...

While biologists need to consider the macro effects of this bio-region, I question the wisdom of sharing the vision with BC, let alone intermingling any funds. As you might recall, your favorite Brit Green city, Victoria, still pumps billions of gallons of untreated sewage into the Strait. Past studies have ...

I am sad that Daniel would develop a thesis based on what appears to be a political position. It looks like the court denied standing to a case that lacked specificity. Thank goodness that the court drew the line here. This kind of case illustrates why the U.S. is one ...
