DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - Trying to decide among the available versions of the Bible can be overwhelming.
You can pick the King James Version, New King James Version, New International Version, Today's New International Version, Revised Standard Version and New Revised Standard Version - and that's just the beginning of a very long list.

First Timothy 5:18 puts it very succinctly: "Those who work deserve their pay!" (Living Letters: The Paraphrased Epistles by Kenneth N. Taylor) Neither did Jesus Christ himself mince words in the matter. The apostle [Matthew] quotes him as saying: "The workman is worth his keep." (Matthew 10:10 Phillips) But what is particularly staggering is the strong, clear, stringent condemnation of slavery found elsewhere in the "(New Testament," and it's astonishing that it's the type of slavery that was practiced during the transatlantic slave trade.
Instead of saying "who sells slaves," other translations of the Bible render this expression thusly: "slave traders" (Holy Bible-New International Version; New Revised Standard Version; 21st Century New Testament), "slave-dealers" (The Epistles of Pa...

Currently, U.S. issuers operate under one set of accounting standards, and a large part of the world operates under some customized version of IFRS.6 Likewise, global companies operating within different accounting provinces must often use different accounting standards for each of the jurisdictions in which they operate; a costly, cumbersome, and time consuming endeavor.7 Various entities responsible for the many factions of accounting standard setting and financial reporting, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board8 (FASB), the SEC,9 and the International Accounting Standards Board10 (IASB), (collectively, Accounting Standard Setters) have been aware of this issue since the late 1960s11 and have further recog- nized the need for change.12 The world's economies have contin- ue...

ERRATA Throughout the centuries, printing errors have caused some humorous readings of Scripture: - Wicked Bible -- The word "not" was omitted in one of the Ten Commandments, so Exodus 20:14 read, "Thou shalt commit adultery." - Murderer's Bible -- In Mark 7:27, Jesus says "Let the children first be filled." One edition read "killed." - Printers Bible -- Psalm 119:161 read "Printers have persecuted me without a cause." The correct reading says "princes." PHRASES In his book "Begat," Oxford professor David Crystal discusses the expressions that the KJV introduced to the English language. Some common phrases are: - "Escaped with the skin of my teeth" Job 19:20 - "Eat, drink and be merry." Luke 12:19 - "Drop in a bucket" Isaiah 40:15 - "Out of the mouth of babes" Psalm 8:2 - "Pride...

The proliferation of electronic mail systems brings with it new concerns for security. With new technology evolving so quickly, one needs to weigh the benefits of providing open communications against the risks of enabling users from other organizations to access private systems. The Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) has developed a directory version of 'call screening' within the X.500 standard, known as authorization and access control. Users will not be able to download a whole directory from another company unless authorized to do so. Users are also adding file-security features to their systems, since electronic messages can include more than text.

Professor Martin's article argues that, in the process of revising Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the United States is missing an opportunity to align domestic contract law with an emerging worldwide legal standard that regulates contracts for the sale of goods. To remain in step with international standards, states should use the revision process to prevent improper domination of consumers by "strong sellers." States should recognize contractual protections for consumers as a device to enhance party autonomy in the contracting process. State and federal consumer protection laws, in addition to the current version of Article 2, provide important remedies for unconscionable acts and other abuses. Taken alone, however, they constitute insufficient protection for consumers. Subs...
