Bagster's Hexapla contains a history of English foreign language translations of the Bible. The explanation provided for the origin of the King James Version is a bit less mysterious than it might seem in Mr. Ryken's article.

I co-wrote a book, Web 2.0 Job Finder: Winning Social Media Strategies to Get the Job You Want From Fortune 500 Hiring Pros. We interviewed 35 Fortune 500 hiring executives and overall the feedback was that using Facebook as a tool will continue to grow as a recruiting tool.

The primary difference between the delivery mechanisms (print v over the air) is the depth of knowledge to which a print journalist can go in covering a story. If customers Read More

ALL the stats you cite are attributable directly to Obama's policies: everyone of which is a failure. There are still jobs to go work around but most of the unemployed don't want those jobs which pay less than government handouts. Those of us who do work for a living are sick and tired of supporting the multitudes who refuse Read More
