He went on to say only 200 million people will be saved and those left behind will die in earthquakes, plagues, and other calamities until Earth is consumed by a fireball on October 21.

Saw the series finale last night (season 4, episode 6). While my wife and I loved the final episode, I am so disappointed to see this beautiful, family-friendly TV show come to an end.

Obama's call for Israel to return to 1967 borders a bold move
Opinion: But it was the president's demand for land swaps that will be key to any solution.
BOSTON — For an American president, calling for a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with mutually agreed upon land swaps, was a bold move.
U.S. President Barack Obama made it clear to both the Israelis and the Palestinians that the status quo was "unsustainable," and that "Israel must act boldly to advance a lasting peace. He was no less insistent that the Palestinians get their act in line, and poured cold water on their proposed U.N. vote on statehood in September.
Obama wanted to get his own vision of a solution on the table before he met with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu today, and before the Israeli prime minister addresses Congress. As predicted, Netanyahu's reaction was negative, saying that a return to 1967 borders would leave Israel indefensible.

New blood test tells you how long you'll live
Scary
Amplify’d from www.independent.co.ukThe £400 test that tells you how long you'll live
DNA breakthrough heralds new medical era – and opens ethical Pandora's box
A blood test that can show how fast someone is ageing – and offers the
tantalising possibility of estimating how long they have left to live – is
to go on sale to the general public in Britain later this year.
The controversial test measures vital structures on the tips of a person's
chromosomes, called telomeres, which scientists believe are one of the most
important and accurate indicators of the speed at which a person is ageing.

Walden Media is planning Magician's Nephew next
Woo-hoo! I love MN.
Amplify’d from www.christianitytoday.comThe Lion, the Witch, and the Box Office
As 'Dawn Treader' releases to DVD, Walden's president says despite declining numbers, they're moving ahead with the next Narnia film, 'The Magician's Nephew.'
It's been a little over a decade since Walden Media acquired the film rights to C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and for Walden co-founder and president Micheal Flaherty, it's been an exhilarating ride—even if it has been something of a roller-coaster.

Critical reviews were good (76 percent positive at Rotten Tomatoes), and the franchise was off to a great start.
