as the techies are concerned, will ensure it doesn’t ‘work’ for
claimants!

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has threatened to call snap parliamentary elections.

"jobless recovery"
The Los Angeles Times leads with a look at the growing signs that the economy could recover without a significant decrease in unemployment.

Researchers say the complexity of the attack and the lack of digital fingerprints indicate that someone with significant influence had to have been directing it. Otherwise, “there must be a cybercriminal out there with pretty significant access to China’s Internet infrastructure,” said Mr. Freitas.

The Lord's recovery
Witness Lee referred to the Local Churches as “the Lord’s recovery”. The Living Stream Ministry’s version of the Bible is called “The Recovery Version”. Lee taught God was always moving to first establish something, and when it was damaged by Satan, God would move a second time to “recover” what was lost. 李常受牧養、指導的地方教會（有人以「呼喊派」稱呼中國大陸境內的地方教會或其分支，其實是某些不良之徒錯用、誤用、曲解甚至故意歪曲其教訓）被部分基督教人士指為異端或極端教派，甚至指李否認聖父、聖子、聖靈的「三位一體」註：聖經並無三位一體之發表，三位一體之發表與聖經原意相差甚遠，易使人誤解，而用三一神正合原意。[1]，所以許多人認為李氏的神學理論仍屬正統基督教信仰之列[2]。他所主導編譯之聖經恢復本，其英文版是首本由華人主導翻譯之英文聖經。recovery
