Not one, but two doomsdays are in the offering. One is the celebrated 2012 date, based on speculations about the Mayan calendar. The other is a prediction about the Rapture, which some say will happen in 2011. Is there any value in such predictions? Any reason to worry? And how, if at all, do such prophecies fit in with the Bahá'í Faith?

Jacques-Yves Cousteau has gone on to his work in the Abhá Kingdom, but for some of us fond childhood memories include eagerly awaiting his next TV show. At the age of eight, from my grandparents' house in Florida, I imagined an exciting career in oceanography, featuring trips to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and months living in Sealab. Well, everybody knows I didn't become an oceanographer, but I still love Jacques Cousteau and the marvelous gift he gave us all—the knowledge of our very own Ocean.
