Swine Flu in Las Vegas


Is there an outbreak of Swine Flu in Las Vegas, Nevada?

I want to plan a trip there, but I know that there are all kinds of travel advisories with the rapid spread of Swine Flu.

When I Googled "swine flu in las vegas", I got about 187,000 hits.

It is hard to discern between the stupid news stories and the truth. Some of the news (or "no-news" stories) had titles like "No Swine Flu Reported in Las Vegas". I mean, come on! If there's nothing to report, do we have to have a news story saying that there is no news?!

I searched through the first few pages of Google's results for "Swine Flu in Las Vegas" and the stories were so mixed that I couldn't know what to make of it.

Post a link of a confirmed story of a case of Swine Flu in Las Vegas.

Bible PassWord - Surfing the Web with Jesus!


There's a new software program out on the market called Bible PassWord.

It basically blocks internet access until you type in a Bible verse. It has an option, too, to re-block at timed intervals, set by the user.

The concept came about from a woman who had a compulsive shopping habit. She literally froze her credit card...in a baggie of water in the freezer. She could still use it if she needed it, but thawing it slowed down her access to it, and gave her time to evaluate her intentions.

This software is designed to do the same thing...slow down access just enough to remind folks that God is with you while you browse the web.

It's pretty cool.
