...early Christianity: "Since a Bedouin shepherd boy named Muhammad adh-Dhib ('The Wolf') first stumbled on them just 10 years ago in a cave near Qumran (he had hoped to find buried treasure), the scrolls have stirred up perhaps the most vigorous debate in Christianity since Darwin ... The majority verdict: the scrolls do not shake the foundations of Christianity, but they greatly contribute to the understanding of those foundations ... The fragments ... make a strange kind of shadow land. Some carry familiar Biblical names ... others are single words or phrases, hanging like abrupt cries in the air of history...
...Evista helps prevent and treat osteoperosis and Xigris treats people with severe sepsis. Royalties from that patent could be a windfall for Cambridge-based Ariad, which took a net operating loss of $55 million in 2005. The company’s stock surged 26 percent on news of the verdict yesterday, closing at $6.99. Eli Lilly blasted the ruling, saying that its drugs do not infringe on the patent.

Rod Blagojevich will likely say it proves that the Democrats are the only party capable of protecting the integrity of state government. Meanwhile his opponent, state treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, will probably argue that Blagojevich, whose administration is also being probed, is definitely not the man for that job. "We'll see the commercials very soon," said Roosevelt University political scientist Paul Green. "Each will manipulate this for their own purposes." Just as history shows so many Illinois...
