NORAD Air Base On Heightened Alert <- FEATURE!

As the U.S. continues to express concern about the possibility of a North Korean missile test directed toward American territory and the rest of the world holds its breath over a close encounter with an asteroid, several U.S. air bases are on heightened alert. But no one is talking about why. The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD -- charged with monitoring the North Korea situation -- is now at "Bravo-Plus."

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION:

Muslims Turned Christian Pay the Price

Within the Islamic world there are at least 14 states that make it illegal to convert out of Islam. In at least eight of those states, it is punishable by death.

CHRISTIANITY:

EZEKIEL 38/39 PLAYER(S):

Assad Steps Up Support For Palestinians

DAMASCUS - President Bashar al-Assad renewed Syria's support for the Palestinians on Monday in the heat of a military escalation sparked by the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants.

Iran Has Until July 12 to Stop Enrichment

Iran Purchased Long-Range Missiles From Russia
Russia over the weekend confirmed reports that a number of years ago, Iran purchased long-range missiles, in the Ukraine, capable of carrying non-conventional warheads.

ISRAEL HAPPENINGS:

Aliyah -

Many Israeli emigrants coming home

Since 2003 the number of Israeli immigrants returning to the country has steadily risen: In 2003 2,696 Israelis came home, 3,554 returned in 2004 and 4,205 moved back in 2005.

Israel's Enemies -

Has Israel lost the Spirit of '76?

Israel's operation in Gaza comes less than a year after its unilateral retreat last summer, when more than 8,000 Jews were expelled from the homes and communities some of them had lived in for decades. This, Israelis were told, would mean "disengagement" from their enemies — the Palestinians would have all of Gaza to themselves and violence would be thwarted by the security fence separating them from Israel.

Israel Says No Negotiations On Soldier
Three Palestinian militant groups that captured an Israeli soldier demanded Monday that 1,500 Palestinian prisoners start being released in less than 24 hours, implying that he would be killed, but Israel said it would not negotiate.

Miscellaneous -

Police weigh banning J'lem gay parade

Jerusalem police are expected to decide this week whether to allow a controversial international gay pride parade to take place in the city this summer amidst growing international opposition to the event by an unusual coalition of religious Christians, Jews, and Muslims around the world.

Planned Withdrawal -

Olmert still refuses to get it

Olmert refused to send forces into Gaza to contend with the transformation of Gaza into a strategic threat to Israel because doing so would involve acknowledging that his plan to retreat from Judea, Samaria and parts of Jerusalem will turn Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Hadera, Afula and Be'ersheva into frontline communities. He refused to send forces into Gaza because doing so would demonstrate that Israel cannot defend its cities from their outskirts.

LAST DAYS DELUSIONS:

Immune System Disorders -

Scientists Develop T-Cells from Embryonic Stem Cells <- FEATURE!

UCLA scientists have for the first time developed immune cells from embryonic stem cells. The discovery could one day improve treatment for people with AIDS and other blood disorders, who lack enough immune cells to fight their disease.

Neuroloogical Disorders -

Antipsychotic Drug Linked to Metabolic Syndrome

According to a study conducted at University of Rochester Center in N.Y., patients who are taking clozapine, the most effective antipsychotic drug, have significantly higher rates of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that can increase the risk for diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

Women's Health -

HRT: Setting the Record Straight

Once, hormone replacement therapy was hailed as the end to the misery of menopause. But in recent years, many doctors have been turning away from the treatment as more and more reports of the negative side effects surface. Is HRT really as bad as some say it is? Or is it even worse?

RUMORS OF WAR:

North Korea Threatens U.S. With 'Nuclear War' <- FEATURE!

North Korea would respond to a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday, heightening anti-U.S. rhetoric amid close scrutiny of its missile program.
