A five-centimeter fir tree has been found in the lung of a man who complained he had a strong pain in his chest and was coughing blood. The 28-year-old patient, Artyom Sidorkin, came to a hospital in the city of Izhevsk in Central Russia last week, Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports. Doctors x-rayed his chest and found a tumor in one of the lungs. Suspecting cancer, they made a decision to perform biopsy, but when they cut the tissue, they were amazed to see green needles in the cut. “I blinked three times, and thought I was seeing things. Then I called the assistant to have a look,” says Vladimir Kamashev, doctor at the Udmurtian Cancer Center. The five-centimeter branch was removed from the patient’s body. “They told me my coughing blood was not caused by any disease,” Sidorkin says. “It was the needles poking the capillaries. It really hurt a lot. But I never felt like I had an alien object inside of me.” It is obvious that a five-centimeter branch is too large to be inhaled or swallowed, doctors say. They suggest that the patient might have inhaled a small bud, which then started to grow inside his body. Meanwhile, the piece of lung with the little fir tree has been preserved for further study.
Andrew was explaining to the children the current state of affairs at our church, which is the need for another pastor. He said that our church is praying and fasting right now about things and then he went on to teach about the nomination process and how we use the lot if there are several qualified candidates.
Andrew: Usually they use books and there is a book for each candidate. A slip of paper has been placed in one book but no one knows which book. The men each take a book and the man with the slip is the one that becomes the new minister.
Vienna: Sounds an awful lot like eeny- meeny- miny- moh to me.

For the uninformed, this is the way many conservative Anabaptists choose their pastors. They see it as a way of “Letting God choose the correct pastor rather than man.”
In a move that will likely get California’s consumers in a huff, impending legislation may soon restrict the paint color options for Golden State residents looking for their next new vehicle. The specific colors that are currently on the chopping block are all dark hues, with the worst offender seemingly the most innocuous color you could think of: Black. What could California possibly have against these colors, you ask? Apparently, the California Air Resources Board figures that the climate control systems of dark colored cars need to work harder than their lighter siblings – especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours. Anyone living in a hot, sunny climate will tell you that this assumption is accurate, of course. In fact, legislation already exists for buildings that has proven successful at reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers.
So, what’s the crux of the problem… can’t paint suppliers just come up with new, less heat-absorbent dark paints? According to Ward’s, suppliers have reportedly been testing their pigments and processes to see if it’s possible to meet CARB’s proposed mandate of 20% solar reflectivity by 2016 with a phase-in period starting in 2012, and things aren’t looking good. Apparently, when the proper pigments and chemicals are added to black paint, the resulting color is currently being referred to as “mud-puddle brown.” That doesn’t sound very attractive, now does it? Windshields, backlights and sunroofs are also slated to get reflective coatings starting in 2012.
When we first heard of this issue, an internal debate immediately began as to whether this might be an elaborate early April Fool’s joke, but it isn’t. Read through CARB’s complete Cool Cars Standards and Test Procedures here (PDF link) for more. Thanks for the tip, Joaquin!

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — A fisherman floating on a Lake Winnebago ice slab refused to be rescued, telling authorities he wanted to stay because the fish were biting.Winnebago County sheriff’s officials say Joseph Dake used a ladder across open water to get to the ice slab, about a quarter mile from shore.
Lt. John Zimmerman says the slab was connected to ice that led to shore, but a large crack had formed.
The Oshkosh Fire Department sent a rescue boat to Dake Tuesday evening. But, the 35-year-old Oshkosh man refused assistance, saying the fishing was good.

Apple’s Famous 1984 Superbowl commercial.
PORTSMOUTH — An elderly woman phoned police Christmas night to say she drove onto a Pease airport runway, where she thought a plane was arriving or departing and she was afraid to move.
Emergency dispatchers received the call Dec. 25 at 6:45 p.m., when the woman said she drove a silver Toyota onto the runway and couldn’t find her way out. According to police radio communications, Pease Development Authority officials located the driver and local police were cleared from the area.
A spokesman at the Pease airport management office said the woman was 70 years old and did not know how she got into the airport.
“The lady seems to have been lost,” said the spokesman, who said a PDA official “rode around with her for a while to try and figure out where she got in.”
The airport spokesman said official comment about the incident and subsequent investigation must come from Pease airport security coordinator Steve Bourque, who is unavailable until Monday. Police Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn said local police have no further information.

The number of poisoned web sites is increasing. 1 in 1000 web pages are infected with malicious drive-by downloads (source IDG News).
With the new AVG 8.0 you can search and surf the Internet safely.
I saw this when I was running AVG this morning. I would like to suggest that AVG 8.0 does not allow you to search and surf the Internet safely. Only YOU can surf the Internet safely. Although a virus scan is essential, a little common sense goes a lot farther.
