PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Coming up, given that the prophecy that the world would end this weekend doesn't seem to be coming true, we'll ask our panelists to predict what will be the cause of the end of the world. But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl with flooring specialists and hundreds of stores nationwide - more at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD. The Little Market, a nonprofit organization founded by women to empower female artisans in developing countries around the world. An online store offering a collection of goods and gifts with a commitment to fair trade - more at thelittlemarket.com. And indeed.com, used by over 3 million businesses for hiring, where business owners and HR professionals can post job openings, then review candidates, take notes and schedule interviews from an online dashboard.
