Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Tuesday night vintage music show, here is Gordon MacRae performing Oh What A Beautiful Morning from the musical Oklahoma! (1955, 1:43).

Now, how much would you pay for that? But wait, there’s more! Yes, here for its bonus comedic value is the world premier of SDA LNR’s very own DJ Vitruvius singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning (1:07, MP3, a few years ago).
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
That’s one of my favourites … in the shower. Sorry, there won’t be any YouTube video of that!
I just love Ann Coulter.
“The irony is, the only people McCain can count on to vote for him are the very Republicans he despises — at least those of us who can get drunk enough on Election Day to pull the lever for him. In fact, we should organize parties around the country where Republicans can get drunk so they can vote for McCain. We can pass out clothespins with his name as a reminder and slogan-festooned vomit bags. The East Coast parties can post the number of drinks necessary for the task to help the West Coast parties.” — Ann Coulter

Ruling in Colorado case has ramifications for faith institutions of higher learning
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
In a legal slugfest waged in Denver last month, a Christian university traded punches with the State of Colorado — and won by a knockout.
The Jews were paying very close attention.
On July 23, the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing a lower court decision, ruled that the state’s denial of financial aid to students enrolled in the Lakewood-based Colorado Christian University was unconstitutional.

“Clement’s Insite attack leaves WHO red-faced
MEXICO CITY — The World Health Organization has strongly endorsed safe injection sites like Vancouver’s Insite as one of the “priority interventions” that countries should implement to slow the spread of HIV-AIDS, a view that was swiftly and firmly rejected by Canada’s Health Minister.
“Allowing and/or encouraging people to inject heroin into their veins is not harm reduction, it is the opposite. … We believe it is a form of harm addition,” Tony Clement said Tuesday in Mexico City, where he is attending the XVII International AIDS Conference.
While the minister’s views on Insite are well known, Mr. Clement repeated them Tuesday at an event where he was endorsing and promoting a new WHO “how-to” guide on battling the epidemic, which promotes needle exchange and safe injection sites. The Health Minister’s comments left officials from the agency flummoxed and red-faced.”

“Garth Turner: Spamming for Stephane Dion?
Liberal MP Garth Turner is very excited. The most loyal of all Liberal MPs is hosting a town hall meeting for his hero, Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion.
But what if no one shows up?
To make sure that doesn’t happen (and so show that he can command a loyal following of Liberal voters) Garth Turner has sent out a mass mailing to encourage people to turn out for the meeting.
Here’s the problem. Pulling together various threads, I wonder if there is reason to believe Garth Turner has contravened the anti-spam rules of the US-based email marketing service he is using his effort to look make Stephane Dion look good.”

“32% Drop in Fatalities on Ontario Roads: OPP
Ontario’s top cop is crediting tough new anti-street racing legislation and the new OPP plane for a drop in fatalities on Ontario’s highways.
OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino says the equivalent of 82 lives have been saved on Ontario’s roads this year.
New statistics released by the OPP show 174 people have been killed in crashes so far this year, down from 256 fatalities during the same period in 2007.
Fantino says the OPP’s provincial traffic enforcement program is “obviously working.”
Speed-related deaths have dropped 40 per cent this year to 61 from 102 last year.”

Jerome Groopman, Superbugs
Before the development of antibiotics, the threat of infection was urgent: until 1936, pneumonia was the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, and amputation was sometimes the only cure for infected wounds. The introduction of sulfa drugs, in the nineteen-thirties, and penicillin, in the nineteen-forties, suddenly made many bacterial infections curable. As a result, doctors prescribed the drugs widely—often for sore throats, sinus congestion, and coughs that were due not to bacteria but to viruses. In response, bacteria quickly developed resistance to the most common antibiotics. The public assumed that the pharmaceutical industry and researchers in academic hospitals would continue to identify effective new treatments, and for many years they did… Many hospitals put the drugs “on reserve,” but an apparent cure-all was too tempting for some physicians, and the tight stewardship slowly broke down. Inevitably, mutant, resistant microbes flourished, and even the carbapenems’ effectiveness waned…
Asra Q. Nomani, You Still Can’t Write About Muhammad
Starting in 2002, Spokane, Wash., journalist Sherry Jones toiled weekends on a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad… This past spring, she began plans for an eight-city book tour after the Aug. 12 publication date of “The Jewel of Medina” — a tale of lust, love and intrigue in the prophet’s harem.
It’s not going to happen: In May, Random House abruptly called off publication of the book. The series of events that torpedoed this novel are a window into how quickly fear stunts intelligent discourse about the Muslim world…
(PDF warning) Lt. Col. (ret.) Raymond Millen, Thinking Small: Applying Hobbes to Counterinsurgency
Perhaps the most bandied about premise in counterinsurgency strategy is the need to win the hearts and minds of the affected population. In abstract, both the insurgents and counterinsurgents vie for the allegiance of the people through social, economic, and political incentives. Yet, this premise begs the question: if the rectitude of hearts and minds is indisputable, why does it have such a poor record of success? The lackluster results of its application are certainly not from a lack of effort and resources. Here lies the rub. The aforementioned incentives are founded on a tacit assumption that people have a choice in the matter. If they don’t, what eclipses hearts and minds?

“What’s Wrong with the Sun? (Nothing)
07.11.2008
July 11, 2008: Stop the presses! The sun is behaving normally.
So says NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. “There have been some reports lately that Solar Minimum is lasting longer than it should. That’s not true. The ongoing lull in sunspot number is well within historic norms for the solar cycle.”
This report, that there’s nothing to report, is newsworthy because of a growing buzz in lay and academic circles that something is wrong with the sun. Sun Goes Longer Than Normal Without Producing Sunspots declared one recent press release. A careful look at the data, however, suggests otherwise.”
“The quiet of 2008 is not the second coming of the Maunder Minimum, believes Hathaway. “We have already observed a few sunspots from the next solar cycle,” he says. (See Solar Cycle 24 Begins.) “This suggests the solar cycle is progressing normally.
What’s next? Hathaway anticipates more spotless days […], maybe even hundreds, followed by a return to Solar Max conditions in the years around 2012.
Stay tuned to Science@NASA for updates.”
