From family dinner tables to fancy restaurants, plates of pasta are likely to be a little pricier in the coming year because of a disappointing durum wheat crop in the northern Plains and Canada.
Durum is ground into the semolina flour used to make pasta products. About half of the nation’s durum is produced in North Dakota, where wet weather during spring planting and the fall harvest led to a crop that’s more than 4 percent smaller than last year’s, and of much poorer quality. MORE

When I tell people that I’m a technology futurist and a philosopher, the first thing they ask is “what’s a technology futurist?”
I usually reply that I use current scientific research to imagine how we will live in the future. The very next question is always “So what are your top predictions for our future?” MORE
A climate scientist has said he is ‘terrified’ of the futuristic technologies he is helping to develop in a bid to slow global warming.
British academics have spent £5.4 million ($8.5 million) in the last five years on taxpayer-funded ‘geoengineering’ projects to stop the effects of climate change.
Dr Matthew Watson, lead investigator of a £1.8million ($2.8 million) project to pump chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays, said using such technologies will become inevitable if humanity fails to stop global warming. MORE
“Pope John Paul II Struck Down by Meteorite,” by Maurizio Cattelan
The former pontiffs seemed to prophetically sense a future wave of “gay” aggression. In a 2005 book John Paul labeled homosexuality an “ideology of evil.” Benedict XVI seconded him with warnings humanity must be saved from “homosexual or transsexual behavior,” which is “intrinsically evil.”
Homosexual magazine “The Advocate” bequeathed them both “Phobie Awards” for daring to keep Catholic tradition. God is now labeled “anti-gay.” MORE

Imagine if instead of a handful of Waltons with billions of dollars apiece, Walmart’s wealth were spread out among its shelf-stockers, cashiers, and other front-line employees. That’s essentially the situation, albeit on a smaller scale, at Boise-based supermarket chain WinCo Foods. The founding family of WinCo — previously known as Waremart and Cub Foods — sold a majority stake to its employees in 1985, and that decision has made a number of longterm employees pretty wealthy, says Mary Josephs at Forbes.

Rome is very smart, always has been. They know that in order to unite the faiths, they must focus on humanitarian projects that nearly everyone can agree on and work together to try and solve. It doesn’t matter whether it’s about poverty, perceived injustice, abortion, slavery or any other subject. These are all mental conditioning exercises that Pope Francis is conducting to get all the religions into the same tent. Once everyone is together, Rome will be the leader. And as you can see, it’s working beautifully. MORE
