After being born . again, Bill immediately . \leveloped a hunger for the word of God in particular .,tlje Hebraic perspective of the Bible, ' · · Shortly after his "born ·again" experience, Cloud ·had the opportunity to visit ·tsrael and participate in a celebration of the Feast of · Tabernacles. It was during · this time that God gave him a deep love for the land, the Christianity as well. This research has been rewarded with a keen insight into Biblical Judaism and i'ts relationship to Christianity. For live years, Cloud and his wife Beth served as youth pastors in a large church in central Florida. For over three years, Cloud served as chief researcher, writer and Publications Director for Perry Stone and Voice of Evangelism Ministries.·Since that time, Cloud has written articles for the Voice of Evangelism magazine, as well as for God's News Behind the News. Cloud, his wife Beth and their four children reside in Cleveland, Tenn. Cloud is recognized as one of the leading authorities on end-time events and the Hebrak study of Scripture and its relevance to the believer in Messiah · ·' Y'shua. He is a featured speaker in venues throughout the country and has appeared with notable teachers such as Hal Lindsay, J.R . Church, Jack Van I mpe, John Hagee, Grant Jeffrey, Perry Stone, Tim La Haye, Chuck Missler, the late Yacov Rambsel and the late Zola Levitt. He has also made several appearances on a variety of t~levision broadcasts seen on TBN, Daystar, Inspiration, Sky Angel , WHT, and TCT. Through Shoreshim Ministries, Bill and his fam ily have launched an effort · to re-introduce Christians to the Jewish Y'shua and to educate believers in the Hebraic roots of their faith. As a result of this information, disciples of the Messiah can more accurately interpret end-time events and better discern our role in these last days. Anthem, I realized just how bad Rose's singing was. The choir sang standing right behind my pulpit. And Rose stood singing directly behind my own seat. She sang boldly and loudly, but also terribly. It was obvious that her singing was literally just a joyful noise. Well, I continued to pray for the next few weeks about Rose. I could tell she was enjoying not only pmising the Lord, but also the support and fellowship that were hallmarks of our choir. Three weeks later, I entered our sanctuary on another Friday morning and there was Maggie, our choir director, kneeling at the altar rail. But, her demeanor was so different than that first Friday morn in~ she had come to complam. She had obviously been crying when I entered the sanctuary. I asked her what was wrong, to which she replied, "I've been kneeling here praying at the foot of the cross about Rose, when suddenly I reali~ed it wasn't Rose that should be my prayer concern. It was me. God has convicted me of·my sin of pride in wanting to have the perfect choir. Rose needs the choir to help her through her grief. And we need Rose in our choir to remind us that people are more important than things." As I went back to work in my office that morning, I prayed and thanked God for two reasons. First, I thanked God that He didn't require us to be perfect to be part of his heavenly choir. And secondly, I thanked Him for allowing me to have .that bad case Of foot-in-mouth disease that led to God's much needed work in my life and the life of our church.

So, if fortunate, we learn early in life to be on the lookout for these disagreeable little 'urprises, and to ;.tvoid them where we can. But this year, we are told, the voters are particularly hungry for change, and the politician' are eager to provide it. Very well, then what change; shall we provide? Higher taxes, to provide re venues for the benefit of the nation? There is very little demand for that. Lower people and the' language.

The good news is about LOVE. It's about seeing your sins before a Holy God. See, I always believed in God, but I never knew God. I always heard · about Jesus, but I never respected what he did for me. And as far as the Holy Spirit, I don't recall remembering anything about Him.

We can tinker with the contributions at the edges, but there are sharp limits to what we can force people to contribute, and perhaps even sharper ones to the goals we can persuade them to forego. . So the undifferentiated demand for "change," as a political slogan, is simply a fraud - and a dangerous fraud at that. It asks the voter to 'identify what annoys him most, and then to assume that eradicating that is what the politician has in mind. Back in 1946, the national Republican Party, emerging from 14 years of the New Deal , ran on the national slogan, "Had enough? Vote Republican!" It was an inspired example of the sort of the technique described above.

Every politician worthy of the name knows that "change" is the one dependably desirable thing in the political universe. It demands the eradi- · cation of everything in the status quo that is undesirable, and its replacement with something better. (A moment's thought would suggest that change might also result in the eradication of aspects of the status quo that are desir;~ble, but somehow that never occurs to us.) · So politicians are perfectly · safe in demanding "change," and they are forever doing it.

After being born . again, Bill immediately . \leveloped a hunger for the word of God in particular .,tlje Hebraic perspective of the Bible, ' · · Shortly after his "born ·again" experience, Cloud ·had the opportunity to visit ·tsrael and participate in a celebration of the Feast of · Tabernacles. It was during · this time that God gave him a deep love for the land, the Christianity as well. This research has been rewarded with a keen insight into Biblical Judaism and i'ts relationship to Christianity. For live years, Cloud and his wife Beth served as youth pastors in a large church in central Florida. For over three years, Cloud served as chief researcher, writer and Publications Director for Perry Stone and Voice of Evangelism Ministries.·Since that time, Cloud has written articles for the Voice of Evangelism magazine, as well as for God's News Behind the News. Cloud, his wife Beth and their four children reside in Cleveland, Tenn. Cloud is recognized as one of the leading authorities on end-time events and the Hebrak study of Scripture and its relevance to the believer in Messiah · ·' Y'shua. He is a featured speaker in venues throughout the country and has appeared with notable teachers such as Hal Lindsay, J.R .

Through Shoreshim Ministries, Bill and his fam ily have launched an effort · to re-introduce Christians to the Jewish Y'shua and to educate believers in the Hebraic roots of their faith. As a result of this information, disciples of the Messiah can more accurately interpret end-time events and better discern our role in these last days. Anthem, I realized just how bad Rose's singing was. The choir sang standing right behind my pulpit. And Rose stood singing directly behind my own seat. She sang boldly and loudly, but also terribly. It was obvious that her singing was literally just a joyful noise. Well, I continued to pray for the next few weeks about Rose. I could tell she was enjoying not only pmising the Lord, but also the support and fellowship that were hallmarks of our choir. Three weeks later, I entered our sanctuary on another Friday morning and there was Maggie, our choir director, kneeling at the altar rail. But, her demeanor was so different than that first Friday morn in~ she had come to complam. She had obviously been crying when I entered the sanctuary. I asked her what was wrong, to which she replied, "I've been kneeling here praying at the foot of the cross about Rose, when suddenly I reali~ed it wasn't Rose that should be my prayer concern. It was me. God has convicted me of·my sin of pride in wanting to have the perfect choir. Rose needs the choir to help her through her grief. And we need Rose in our choir to remind us that people are more important than things." As I went back to work in my office that morning, I prayed and thanked God for two reasons. First, I thanked God that He didn't require us to be perfect to be part of his heavenly choir. And secondly, I thanked Him for allowing me to have .that bad case Of foot-in-mouth disease that led to God's much needed work in my life and the life of our church.

So, if fortunate, we learn early in life to be on the lookout for these disagreeable little 'urprises, and to ;.tvoid them where we can.

So the undifferentiated demand for "change," as a political slogan, is simply a fraud - and a dangerous fraud at that. It asks the voter to 'identify what annoys him most, and then to assume that eradicating that is what the politician has in mind. Back in 1946, the national Republican Party, emerging from 14 years of the New Deal , ran on the national slogan, "Had enough? Vote Republican!" It was an inspired example of the sort of the technique described above.

Faith is that in us which generates obedience from us to His Word, the Bible. If we do not learn His Word, then there cannot be the response of faith that is due Him. And if we do not obey His Word (whatever we have learned of it), then there is no response of genuine faith. Faith and an emotion ~ al sense bf security and ho,pefulness are two differ- · ent things. Although the latter can be the fruit of the former, it can also be·generated from other sources. But what WILL He find when He returns? What will He find in me? What will He find in His Church? . And what will He find in you? If you're not sure, take thi~ moment and begin a process of self-examimition. Are you learning the Bible? Are you participating in opportunities with other Chnstian Believers to study and apply its truths? Are you livmg what God's Spirit .is showing you through His Word? The Bible teaches us Who God is, what His purposes are, a~d how we are to respond to them. Perhaps you've not even yet truly begun the journey. Maybe you've not yet personally received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. If this is the case, simply allow God to forgive you of your sin, confess that He died for you on the cross, and then begin to walk with Him in the company of other Christians. Neither you nor I can answer the question of what Jesus may find on earth when He returns, but if you give your heart to Him and bewme His forgiven child, you can definitely answer the question of what He'll find in you when you!te called to give an account to Him of your life. "Be .careful, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, dru11kenness, and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to -stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:34-36 NIV).

Faith is that in us which generates obedience from us to His Word, the Bible. If we do not learn His Word, then there cannot be the response of faith that is due Him. And if we do not obey His Word (whatever we have learned of it), then there is no response of genuine faith. Faith and an emotion ~ al sense bf security and ho,pefulness are two differ- · ent things. Although the latter can be the fruit of the former, it can also be·generated from other sources. But what WILL He find when He returns? What will He find in me? What will He find in His Church? . And what will He find in you? If you're not sure, take thi~ moment and begin a process of self-examimition. Are you learning the Bible? Are you participating in opportunities with other Chnstian Believers to study and apply its truths? Are you livmg what God's Spirit .is showing you through His Word? The Bible teaches us Who God is, what His purposes are, a~d how we are to respond to them. Perhaps you've not even yet truly begun the journey. Maybe you've not yet personally received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. If this is the case, simply allow God to forgive you of your sin, confess that He died for you on the cross, and then begin to walk with Him in the company of other Christians. Neither you nor I can answer the question of what Jesus may find on earth when He returns, but if you give your heart to Him and bewme His forgiven child, you can definitely answer the question of what He'll find in you when you!te called to give an account to Him of your life. "Be .careful, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, dru11kenness, and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to -stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:34-36 NIV).

(AP) - Jerry Gil, trying to come back from elbow surgery, hit a three-run home run to break a scoreless tie Thursday and the Cincinna~i Reds went on.to a 6-·1 exhibition victory over Minnesota. Gil, 25, missed all but the last live days of last season after hi,iving "Tommy John" surgery on his right elbow on May 8. He was. hoping to make the Reds as a utility player in spring training last year before the elbow injury sidelined him. "He has some big-time skills," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "His arm is strong even after surgery." Gil had to leave .the game when he pulled a muscle trying to beat out a ground ball in the seventh inning. The Reds will hold him out of Friday's game , Baker said. Twins pitcher Glen Perkins was greeted by a Juan Castro single to open the fifth. Joey Votto added a single and Gil followed with a long fly that hugged the right field.

(AP) - Jerry Gil, trying to come back from elbow surgery, hit a three-run home run to break a scoreless tie Thursday and the Cincinna~i Reds went on.to a 6-·1 exhibition victory over Minnesota. Gil, 25, missed all but the last live days of last season after hi,iving "Tommy John" surgery on his right elbow on May 8.

The Reds will hold him out of Friday's game , Baker said. Twins pitcher Glen Perkins was greeted by a Juan Castro single to open the fifth. Joey Votto added a single and Gil followed with a long fly that hugged the right field.

Kamela Gissendanner 's desperation .3-pointer went wide of the bucket wfth the clock winding down . It wasn't the . play Washington drew up during a timeout before the last possession. ·. "My chicken-scratch on the board may have · con-. fused them a little bit," s)le said. Gissendanner, a senior, scored 25 points but could-· n't secure a wiD in her final home game. Janessa Wolff scored a career-high 16 points and grabbed I0 rebounds off the bench for Penn State (13-16, 4-13). Marscilla Packer added 18 points for Ohio State . (21-7, 12-5 Big Ten) despite shooting 4-of-17. The Buckeyes, seeking a fourth straight Big Ten regular-season crown. can finish no worse than a tie for this year's title if they win their regular-season finale Sunday against Northwestern. the Buckeyes temporarily erased memories of a 69-61 overtime loss Monday to Indiana. Officials on Wednesday said there was a scoring error during the game that incorrectly gave Indiana a point for a disqualified free throw with 2:38 left in regulation. Foster demurred when asked if Ohio State should .look into the matter more given the possible ramifications for conference tournament seeding. "We're going to work at beatirig Northwestern on Sunday," he said. "I'm not someone that thinks. about the past too much." ---··---- -~----·--· ~- -· Major leag ue Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE Pel WL Detro1t Cleveland Texas Ch1cago Boston los Angeles New York Seattle Tampa Bay Balttmore Kansas C1ty M1nnesota Oakland Toronto L.A.

Jones, the track and fi~ld star who won five medals at the 2000.01ympics, was sentenced in January to six months in prison for lying about using performance enhancers and her role in a check-fraud scam. Miguel Tejada, the 2002 AL MVP, also ·is being investigated by the FBI over .whether he made false statements to the House committee three years ago. He told congressional investigators he never took performance enhancers and had no knowledge of other players using or talking about steroids. Clemens testified that he " never used steroids or HGH; McNamee testified he injected Clemens -with performance-enhancers at least 16 times from 1998-01.

The new. found approach paid off as Lavender fell one rebound short of her career high, and tied· her best with six assists . "I rush a lot sometimes and today I was just like, ' You know, calm down and just breathe,"' she said. " I felt it tonight.

"My chicken-scratch on the board may have · con-. fused them a little bit," s)le said. Gissendanner, a senior, scored 25 points but could-· n't secure a wiD in her final home game. Janessa Wolff scored a career-high 16 points and grabbed I0 rebounds off the bench for Penn State (13-16, 4-13). Marscilla Packer added 18 points for Ohio State . (21-7, 12-5 Big Ten) despite shooting 4-of-17. The Buckeyes, seeking a fourth straight Big Ten regular-season crown. can finish no worse than a tie for this year's title if they win their regular-season finale Sunday against Northwestern. the Buckeyes temporarily erased memories of a 69-61 overtime loss Monday to Indiana. Officials on Wednesday said there was a scoring error during the game that incorrectly gave Indiana a point for a disqualified free throw with 2:38 left in regulation. Foster demurred when asked if Ohio State should .look into the matter more given the possible ramifications for conference tournament seeding. "We're going to work at beatirig Northwestern on Sunday," he said. "I'm not someone that thinks. about the past too much." ---··---- -~----·--· ~- -· Major leag ue Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE Pel WL Detro1t Cleveland Texas Ch1cago Boston los Angeles New York Seattle Tampa Bay Balttmore Kansas C1ty M1nnesota Oakland Toronto L.A.

STEPHEN WADE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING - As they prepare to host the Olympics an event whose very purpose ts to push the hmits of human beings the Chinese are trymg to do what man never has: Control the weather. With five months to go before the Summer Games come to Beijing, Chinese sctenllsts say they are contident they can keep rain away from the opening ceremony, or summon a storm on cue to clear the city's choking pollutiOn. It's a bold - and, accordmg to lnternaltonal sctentists, dubious - bit of stage managmg, even for a nation that has already shown an outstze ambttton to use the Olymptcs to showcase its development from rural poverty to economic power· house. Chma is spending $40 bill ion to remake the mfrastructure of the ancient capttal, and 11 already spends an estimated $100 million a year and employs 50,000 for • rainmaking. • At mstallatmns hke one called Fragrant Htlls, outside BetJmg, peasants don military fallgues and helmets and squat behind anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers, blasting the sky with stlver todide, hoping to shock rain from the clouds. If ram threatens the openmg or closing ceremony, Beijing officials say they will set up several banks of rocket launchers outside the ctty to seed threatemng clouds and cause them to release their rain before it reaches the capital. "We are now drafting the nnplementation plan for the artificial rain mttigal!on for the opening and closmg ceremonies," said Wang Yubin, a Beijing Meteorological Bureau engineer. "This is a very complex process, so we must select the right time and place." China, short on water and arable land, has lavtshed some of the scarce resources II has on rammaking and rain prevention. Its cloud-seeding weapons mclude 6,781 arttllery guns and 4, II 0 rocket launchers, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The China Meteorological Admmistratmn says 4,231 flights for cloud-seeding were conducted from 1995 to 2003. The Chinese scientists say 11 worked - increasmg rainfall during those years by 210 billion cubic meters, enough to meet the annual needs of 400 million people. Chma has a population of about I. 3 billion. Other scientists are not so sure. "I don't think their chances of preventing rain are very htgh at all," said Dr. Roelof Bruintjes, a meteorologist with the U S. Man admits Internet hoax threatening seven NFL stadiums in October of 2006' NEWARK, N J (AP). A former Wtsconsin grocery clerk pleaded guilty Thursday to making bogus Internet postmgs warnin~ of terrorist , attacks agamst seven NFL stadiums in 2006. Jake J. Brahm admttted he posted false information that so-called dtrty bombs would be detonated at stadiums havmg games on Oct 22,2006. Brahm had satd the stadiums · were in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, Cleveland and New York Ctty. He admttted the reference to New York was mtended to mdicate Gtants Stadium, m East Rutherford, N.J. , where the Jets played the Detroit Lions that day. of Brahm , 22, Wauwatosa, Wis., pleaded gutlty to a one-count indtctment that had been handed up exactly a year earher. The charge, part of the Patnot Act. accused htm of wtllfully conveymg false information that the stadtums would be attacked by terrorists wtth weapons of mass destructton and "radiologtcal dispersal devtces." Brahm remams free on bail and faces up to five years m pnson and a $250,000 fme when sentenced June 5 by U.S. Dtstrict Judge Jose L. Lmares Brahm admitted composmg and posting the threat about 40 times on a Web site between September and Oct. 18, 2006. The message said bombs would be delivered by trucks and "the death toll will approach 100,000 from the imtial blasts and countless other fatahties will later occur as result from radioactive fallout" The postin\\ added the stadium explosions would be praised by Osama bin Laden as "Amenca's Hiroshima" and spark global confhcts. Brahm's lawyer, Walter A. Lesnevtch, satd although the law is vague and may one day be repealed, the)' a~reed to the plea because 11 gtves Brahm a chance for probation or a prison term of up to six months. "He did not put tl on a normal news Web site," said Lesnevtch, who claimed its original audience didn't take 11 seriously. L~:snevich said Brahm "did not thmk through the consequences" of what mtght happen when it spread around the Internet. Authorities found Brahm stockmg milk in a grocery. He is now working in hts Fatl)er's wood shop, the lawyer said. Authonties said Brahm's acttons wasted homeland secunty efforts. Center for National Atmosphenc Res~arch, who was m Chm'a several weeks ago and told top-rankmg Chmese sctenttsts he was skeptical. "If there ts really a weather system that is producmg rain, they won't be able to do anythmg. We can't chase away a cloud, and nobody can make a cloud, etther" The argument ts about much more than precipttauon theory. The Olympics, set to run Aug. 8-24. are tightly scheduled, and a ramy day can wreak havoc - particularly tf the openmg ceremony, perhaps China's best showcase of the games, is a washout Besides bemg one of the warmest months of the year m Betjing, with htghs averagtng tn the mid-80s. August is amon& the wettest, wtth about 7 mches of rain m a typical year. It's not the first time Chma has mounted a gargantuan project to bend nature. The Three Gorges dam proJect, spanning the mighty Yangtze River, is the largest hydroelectric undertaking m the world. But the htstory of Chmese science proJeCts has its quirky examples, too- like the one that promises to produce softball-size tomatoes or giant gourds by shoot mg seeds or seedlings into space and then sowing them back on earth. Fifty years ago, during the Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong made extravagant claims about new agncultural techniques that could lift Chma out of starvatton. Hts plans to beat nature were .based mostly on Ideology and psuedo-SCtence and caused widespread famine. Dr. Andy Detwiler, a professor of meteorology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology who edits the Journal of Weather Modtftcauon, suggested the Olympte weather-harnassing eltort may not meet with much more success. ''It 's the emperor and his new clothes sort of tlung Nobody wants to admit there is any uncertamty mvolved m the operatton," he satd. "The only nations I know of who clatm that they can schedule the weather clear sktes for public events, prevent ram .tt btg celebrations - is the old Soviet Umon and Chma." On the very day Chinese weather modification experts were boasting at a news conference about controllmg ram during the Olymptcs, the country's midsection was bemg pummeled by the worst snow storm m 50 years, which Chinese meteorologtsts fat led to predict. Several calls to the China Meteorological Admtntstratmn seeking mtcrvicws with weather modtficatmn ofiicials to dtscuss the Olympics plans were greeted with the same reply "Thts ts a senstttve topic." One junior staff member al the BeiJing Meteorologtcal Bureau satd the subject was very guarded. "hke Amen cans keepmg thetr nuclear secrets." In an intervtew wtth The Assoctated Press, Wang Guanghc, deputy director of the Research Center for Weather Modification, acknowledged an absence of ngorous science in Chma's vast cloud-seeding operation. "We haven't done any of these studtes," he said "We have an mdoor simulatton model We can use devices to observe the changes m the clouds . but tt's really hard to 'have an authentic and convmcmg result." A recent study m Oklahoma and Texas uncovered httle evtdence that cloud seeding works. Like Chma, many Amencan prograJTIS are run by local gqvernments with little coordtnatton trom the natiOn's capital. "You JUSt don't see any conststent signal that these acttviues are producing any more ramfall than what normally would have occurred," said Dr Jeff Basara, director of research for the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. "You're much better off conservmg water than trying to make it ram." The most common way to seed clouds is blasting them with stlver JOdtde, which is generally believed to be a safe chemical. Liquid nitrogen and dry ice can also be used. Another worry: B~tjing's severe atr pollutiOn. Dr. Dame! Rosenfeld, a meteorologtst at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem who has visited his Chinese colleagues, said there are early indications that pollution decreases ram, which m11y be dnving Beijing and northern China further into drought. The International Olympic Commtttee has already threatened to postpone some endurance events if BeiJmg's atr quality ts poor. Beijmg, a city of 17 million, is expected to ban 1.5 million vehtcles from the roads, shut factories and foundries and halt the city's frantjc constructton boom for the • games. 'The only thmg that cleans up the pollution is the rain, and if they are going to suppress ram, my worry ts the pollution will be oppressive," satd Dr. Veerabhadriin Ramanathan, an atmospht!ric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, who will use the Olympics to study the impact of reduced pollution "It's a Catch-22." As~ociated Press writer X1 Yue in Be1jing contributed to this report. • Falcons from PageBl the big lead in the ftrst quaner and it would have been awfully easy for them to give m but they kept charging back We played weU in spurts but for some reason we were extremely ttght and that kept us from putting them away.

Then Pro Bowl tackle Adams restgned wtth Dallas Bruce, the last player remm mng from the Rams' 1995 move from Los Angeles, was a secondround draft ptck in 1994 The 35-year-old wideout ts among the NFL career leaders with 942 receptions for 14.109 yards and 84 touchdowns. He was the Rams' second leading recet ver last season Wtlh 55 catches for 7 33 yards and four TDs. "It's a tough chmce for the franchtse," coach Scott Linehan said on the team's Web site. "It's hke anythmg else. We make decisions as a franchise on the business side and that's the part that makes it the most dtfficult." Linehan said the "possibil· ity is always open" for Bruce to re-sign with the Rams, who also cut backup quarterback Gus Frerotte. Neal, 37, was among three veterans released by the Chargers, who also parted wtlh safety Marlon McCree and nght tackle Shane Oltvea. General manager A.J. Smtih satd all three requested their release so they can qUickly jump mto free agency. Olivea had four years left on hts conLract while McCree and Neal each had three years remaining.

He and linebacker Greg Ellis are the team's longest-tenured players. Dallas also moved tn keep three restncted free agents, puttmg tenders on Pm Bowl runnmg back Marion Barber' ($2.56 mtlhon, the highest possible). defensive end Chns Canty ($2 017 mtllton), and guard Joe Berger ($927,000) Running back Tyson Thompson, who lost hts Jnh as a kick returner late in the season, was not tendered. freeing him to stgn wherever he wants Quarterback Alex Smtth got a vote of confidence from San Francisco.

STEPHEN WADE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING - As they prepare to host the Olympics an event whose very purpose ts to push the hmits of human beings the Chinese are trymg to do what man never has: Control the weather. With five months to go before the Summer Games come to Beijing, Chinese sctenllsts say they are contident they can keep rain away from the opening ceremony, or summon a storm on cue to clear the city's choking pollutiOn. It's a bold - and, accordmg to lnternaltonal sctentists, dubious - bit of stage managmg, even for a nation that has already shown an outstze ambttton to use the Olymptcs to showcase its development from rural poverty to economic power· house. Chma is spending $40 bill ion to remake the mfrastructure of the ancient capttal, and 11 already spends an estimated $100 million a year and employs 50,000 for • rainmaking. • At mstallatmns hke one called Fragrant Htlls, outside BetJmg, peasants don military fallgues and helmets and squat behind anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers, blasting the sky with stlver todide, hoping to shock rain from the clouds. If ram threatens the openmg or closing ceremony, Beijing officials say they will set up several banks of rocket launchers outside the ctty to seed threatemng clouds and cause them to release their rain before it reaches the capital. "We are now drafting the nnplementation plan for the artificial rain mttigal!on for the opening and closmg ceremonies," said Wang Yubin, a Beijing Meteorological Bureau engineer. "This is a very complex process, so we must select the right time and place." China, short on water and arable land, has lavtshed some of the scarce resources II has on rammaking and rain prevention. Its cloud-seeding weapons mclude 6,781 arttllery guns and 4, II 0 rocket launchers, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The China Meteorological Admmistratmn says 4,231 flights for cloud-seeding were conducted from 1995 to 2003. The Chinese scientists say 11 worked - increasmg rainfall during those years by 210 billion cubic meters, enough to meet the annual needs of 400 million people. Chma has a population of about I. 3 billion. Other scientists are not so sure. "I don't think their chances of preventing rain are very htgh at all," said Dr. Roelof Bruintjes, a meteorologist with the U S. Man admits Internet hoax threatening seven NFL stadiums in October of 2006' NEWARK, N J (AP). A former Wtsconsin grocery clerk pleaded guilty Thursday to making bogus Internet postmgs warnin~ of terrorist , attacks agamst seven NFL stadiums in 2006. Jake J. Brahm admttted he posted false information that so-called dtrty bombs would be detonated at stadiums havmg games on Oct 22,2006. Brahm had satd the stadiums · were in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, Cleveland and New York Ctty. He admttted the reference to New York was mtended to mdicate Gtants Stadium, m East Rutherford, N.J. , where the Jets played the Detroit Lions that day. of Brahm , 22, Wauwatosa, Wis., pleaded gutlty to a one-count indtctment that had been handed up exactly a year earher. The charge, part of the Patnot Act. accused htm of wtllfully conveymg false information that the stadtums would be attacked by terrorists wtth weapons of mass destructton and "radiologtcal dispersal devtces." Brahm remams free on bail and faces up to five years m pnson and a $250,000 fme when sentenced June 5 by U.S. Dtstrict Judge Jose L. Lmares Brahm admitted composmg and posting the threat about 40 times on a Web site between September and Oct. 18, 2006. The message said bombs would be delivered by trucks and "the death toll will approach 100,000 from the imtial blasts and countless other fatahties will later occur as result from radioactive fallout" The postin\\ added the stadium explosions would be praised by Osama bin Laden as "Amenca's Hiroshima" and spark global confhcts. Brahm's lawyer, Walter A. Lesnevtch, satd although the law is vague and may one day be repealed, the)' a~reed to the plea because 11 gtves Brahm a chance for probation or a prison term of up to six months. "He did not put tl on a normal news Web site," said Lesnevtch, who claimed its original audience didn't take 11 seriously. L~:snevich said Brahm "did not thmk through the consequences" of what mtght happen when it spread around the Internet. Authorities found Brahm stockmg milk in a grocery. He is now working in hts Fatl)er's wood shop, the lawyer said. Authonties said Brahm's acttons wasted homeland secunty efforts. Center for National Atmosphenc Res~arch, who was m Chm'a several weeks ago and told top-rankmg Chmese sctenttsts he was skeptical. "If there ts really a weather system that is producmg rain, they won't be able to do anythmg. We can't chase away a cloud, and nobody can make a cloud, etther" The argument ts about much more than precipttauon theory. The Olympics, set to run Aug. 8-24. are tightly scheduled, and a ramy day can wreak havoc - particularly tf the openmg ceremony, perhaps China's best showcase of the games, is a washout Besides bemg one of the warmest months of the year m Betjing, with htghs averagtng tn the mid-80s. August is amon& the wettest, wtth about 7 mches of rain m a typical year. It's not the first time Chma has mounted a gargantuan project to bend nature. The Three Gorges dam proJect, spanning the mighty Yangtze River, is the largest hydroelectric undertaking m the world. But the htstory of Chmese science proJeCts has its quirky examples, too- like the one that promises to produce softball-size tomatoes or giant gourds by shoot mg seeds or seedlings into space and then sowing them back on earth. Fifty years ago, during the Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong made extravagant claims about new agncultural techniques that could lift Chma out of starvatton. Hts plans to beat nature were .based mostly on Ideology and psuedo-SCtence and caused widespread famine. Dr. Andy Detwiler, a professor of meteorology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology who edits the Journal of Weather Modtftcauon, suggested the Olympte weather-harnassing eltort may not meet with much more success. ''It 's the emperor and his new clothes sort of tlung Nobody wants to admit there is any uncertamty mvolved m the operatton," he satd. "The only nations I know of who clatm that they can schedule the weather clear sktes for public events, prevent ram .tt btg celebrations - is the old Soviet Umon and Chma." On the very day Chinese weather modification experts were boasting at a news conference about controllmg ram during the Olymptcs, the country's midsection was bemg pummeled by the worst snow storm m 50 years, which Chinese meteorologtsts fat led to predict. Several calls to the China Meteorological Admtntstratmn seeking mtcrvicws with weather modtficatmn ofiicials to dtscuss the Olympics plans were greeted with the same reply "Thts ts a senstttve topic." One junior staff member al the BeiJing Meteorologtcal Bureau satd the subject was very guarded. "hke Amen cans keepmg thetr nuclear secrets." In an intervtew wtth The Assoctated Press, Wang Guanghc, deputy director of the Research Center for Weather Modification, acknowledged an absence of ngorous science in Chma's vast cloud-seeding operation. "We haven't done any of these studtes," he said "We have an mdoor simulatton model We can use devices to observe the changes m the clouds . but tt's really hard to 'have an authentic and convmcmg result." A recent study m Oklahoma and Texas uncovered httle evtdence that cloud seeding works. Like Chma, many Amencan prograJTIS are run by local gqvernments with little coordtnatton trom the natiOn's capital. "You JUSt don't see any conststent signal that these acttviues are producing any more ramfall than what normally would have occurred," said Dr Jeff Basara, director of research for the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. "You're much better off conservmg water than trying to make it ram." The most common way to seed clouds is blasting them with stlver JOdtde, which is generally believed to be a safe chemical. Liquid nitrogen and dry ice can also be used. Another worry: B~tjing's severe atr pollutiOn. Dr. Dame! Rosenfeld, a meteorologtst at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem who has visited his Chinese colleagues, said there are early indications that pollution decreases ram, which m11y be dnving Beijing and northern China further into drought. The International Olympic Commtttee has already threatened to postpone some endurance events if BeiJmg's atr quality ts poor. Beijmg, a city of 17 million, is expected to ban 1.5 million vehtcles from the roads, shut factories and foundries and halt the city's frantjc constructton boom for the • games. 'The only thmg that cleans up the pollution is the rain, and if they are going to suppress ram, my worry ts the pollution will be oppressive," satd Dr. Veerabhadriin Ramanathan, an atmospht!ric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, who will use the Olympics to study the impact of reduced pollution "It's a Catch-22." As~ociated Press writer X1 Yue in Be1jing contributed to this report. • Falcons from PageBl the big lead in the ftrst quaner and it would have been awfully easy for them to give m but they kept charging back We played weU in spurts but for some reason we were extremely ttght and that kept us from putting them away. We're thrilled to be playing at this time of the year and we're happy that we can move on in tournament play." The secttonal vtctory wa~ the third tournament champtonsh!Jl m seven years for Toth at the Bend Area school. The Whtte Falcons held a commanding 37-19 edge in rebounding but 19 WHS turnovers offset much of the Bend Area teams work on the boards. Ketth Pearson grabbed a game high 12 rebounds with Justm Arnold coU~tmg nine more to give )Vahama several second chance opportunities The rebounding dtfference enabled WHS to create the double figure 'leads wtth the Falcons inconsistent play in taking care of the basketball enabling the Wildcats to capitalize on the Bend Area teams mistakes. Heunng and Patrick Aora led Hannan on · the boards with ti ve aptece Hannan was also gutlty of several ball handhng errors, espectally dunng the llrst half which didn't set too well with Arrowood. "We didn 't shoot the ball very well and we Larry Crum/photo committed far too many turnovers early m the game," Arrowood said Wahama led by an 18-10 margin after etght mmutes With Srruth, Arnold and Pearson domg most of the damage mside for the Falcons Casey Hamson got into the llow of the offense m the second quarter for the Bend Area team as Wahmna stretched its lead to 32-22 at the half Heunng and Blake led Hannan on a senous run m the thtrd canto as the Wildcats went on a 13-6 punt to close the gap to three at 40-3 7. A • t Kyle Zerkle free throw and a bucket by Pearson made tt a 43-37 af!mr before Jason Bennett closed out the third penod sconng wtth hts lone bucket of the night. A I0-0 run to open the tina! stanza seemed to put the final nat! In the Wtldcat coffin but Heuring and Blake caught fire once agam A 12-2 offenstve spurt by Hannan trimmed the 53-39 White Falcon lead to four at 55-51 wtth I:25 to play but that would be as close as the Wtldcats would get as Hamson hn one of two from the hne before Arnold added I three of fow to make the fmal count 61 -51.

You were sure someone was going to bid hearts. II partner has the club ace, you can probably make seven clubs.

It was after 2 a.m. in the East when NASCAR offi· cials finally gave up the ghost and decided to finish the race the following day." By Monte Dutton .NASCAR This Week Among Bobpy Labonte's most no· table accomplishments is the Winston (now Sprint) Cup championship he won in 2000. The 43·year·old Corpus Christ~ Texas, native hasn't won since 2003 and is now in his third year attempting to raise his own fortunes along with those of his historic team, Petty Enterprises. ·Labonte pilots the No. 43 Dodge. Only ".3" carries as much prestige among NASCAR fans as the number that once adorned the cars of the great Richard Petty, who won 200 races and seven championships. · "When I first came here, it was a change, it was new and it was really good," he said. "Throughout the past couple years, we'd have spurts of 'hey, we made a couple changes and it's looking good.' As far as the longevity of it, we're getting better. "Now we're thinking a little bit fur· ther ahead - things are happening a little bit further down the road- and it's encouraging to know you've got some stability built into things to progress week·in and week-out." In his first year at Petty Enterpris· es, Labonte finished 21st in the Cup standings. Last year he improved to 18th. All of Labonte's 21 career victories occurred at Joe Gibbs Racing, where he competed from 1995 through 2005. Bobby and older brother Terry, now retired, have both won Cup championships. Terry won two, i!) 1984 and 1996. The junior Labonte hopes this year will see enough improvement for him to contend for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. This year Petty Enter· prises moved its base of operations from Level Cross., N.C., to the Char· lotte area.

By Monte Dutton .NASCAR This Week Among Bobpy Labonte's most no· table accomplishments is the Winston (now Sprint) Cup championship he won in 2000. The 43·year·old Corpus Christ~ Texas, native hasn't won since 2003 and is now in his third year attempting to raise his own fortunes along with those of his historic team, Petty Enterprises. ·Labonte pilots the No. 43 Dodge. Only ".3" carries as much prestige among NASCAR fans as the number that once adorned the cars of the great Richard Petty, who won 200 races and seven championships. · "When I first came here, it was a change, it was new and it was really good," he said. "Throughout the past couple years, we'd have spurts of 'hey, we made a couple changes and it's looking good.' As far as the longevity of it, we're getting better. "Now we're thinking a little bit fur· ther ahead - things are happening a little bit further down the road- and it's encouraging to know you've got some stability built into things to progress week·in and week-out." In his first year at Petty Enterpris· es, Labonte finished 21st in the Cup standings. Last year he improved to 18th. All of Labonte's 21 career victories occurred at Joe Gibbs Racing, where he competed from 1995 through 2005. Bobby and older brother Terry, now retired, have both won Cup championships. Terry won two, i!) 1984 and 1996. The junior Labonte hopes this year will see enough improvement for him to contend for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. This year Petty Enter· prises moved its base of operations from Level Cross., N.C., to the Char· lotte area.
