...cards, he and IBM engineer Franco Motika set about developing a new generation of smart cards. The recently patented, theftproof card contains a computer chip and features a tiny numerical keypad right on its face. The cardholder inputs a PIN, stored directly in the card's circuitry; the same code must be entered before each use. The PIN turns the card on and generates a unique one-time-only transaction code. For approval, that code has to synch with an algorithm run by the credit-card company's computer. The smart card isn't on the market...

The result, he says, will lead not only to filled pews but, ultimately, to more saved souls. For Warren, that's the best barometer of church health...
...love Wuthering Heights and classics like that. The DaVinci Code was a huge hit with my team as well. At one point on a bus ride home, Angela Ruggiero (she’s this defenseman on my team, kind of the “other” captain), Katie Johnston, Liza Solley and Jaclyn Pitushka were all in the back of the bus, listening to assistant coach John O’Donnell read it to us as we snuggled with some blankets. The pictures are just precious...
