MAY 3 "FOUNDATION, A GOOD ONE NEEDED!"

Six persons were killed and three seriously injured when a three-storey shopping complex caved in on Wednesday. The incident occurred around noon. Police said construction work was in progress on the top floor of the building -- located in the City Centre complex of the New Industrial Township -- when it collapsed. Most of the victims were laborers.Several people are feared to be trapped inside the building. Rescue operations were hampered for a while in the evening by the rain. "We have recovered six dead bodies. Three injured have also been rescued. Rescue operations are on. As of now, we can't say how many people are trapped inside," said Praveen Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, Faridabad. "The upper storey suddenly began crumbling on top of me," said Satya Dev, a laborer from Nalanda in Bihar, who has been working inside. Dev got away unscathed, but others were not so lucky. "Another laborer Sunil who was working right next to me got buried under the debris," he added. Four of the dead have been identified so far. Police are trying to find out who the other two are. "I could not understand what happened. The upper story simply started crumbling down," said Satya Dev, a labourer working at the site of the under-construction three-floored building in Faridabad that collapsed on Wednesday afternoon. Faridabad Police have ordered an inquiry into the collapse of the department store in the bustling industrial township, that left six people dead. The incident occurred when expansion work was in full swing inside a store, eyewitnesses said. Shopkeepers closed their shutters and rushed to safety. Traffic came to a halt and a huge contingent of police force was rushed to the site. Dozens of private cranes and ambulances also reached the spot. A corporator of Municipal Corporation of Faridabad, Pratap Singh Chawla, also blamed the expansion work in the building for the collapse. "The expansion work caused this tragedy," said Chawla, holding MCF officials responsible for allowing violation of construction rules.

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
