Christian research confusion
Fri, 09 May 2008 16:25:02 PDT
I feel for Benita Hewitt, the Director of Christian Research, and indeed currently their only full time person. She seems to have found herself in the middle of a media storm about apparently conflicting statistics on her organisation’s newly published Religious Trends 7. Ruth Gledhill reproduces some tables from this publication giving a clearly shown estimate of church attendance in England in 2050 of 718,100. But this page on Christian Research’s own website, reproducing a March 2008 magazi

New kind of beetle found! By CBC staff!
Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:21:19 PDT
New kind of beetle found! By CBC staff! Staff on the state-owned CBC Newsworld, where, suspiciously like Fox News Channel’s O’Reilly Factor, “The Spin Stops Here”! (-- or is that just on their “Politics” program?) apparently discovered the new creature. They called it the “GREENHOUSE BEETLE”. Most other people, like the folks at the National Post, which features the little bugger on their front page today, call it the Mountain Pine Beetle. Labcoats call it Dendroctonus Ponderosae. Bu

This number looks about right given other data I've seen on divorce. Of course, lots of children are not born to married parents. In Denver, the percentage of children born to an unmarr
Another Costly and Complicated Headache
Fri, 09 May 2008 16:29:52 PDT
The tentacles of this emerging crisis just keep spreading. However, the focus is gradually moving away from losses that are directly related to the bursting credit and housing bubbles to those that stem from second and third-order effects. In "Empty Homes Spur Cities' Suits," The National Law Journal's Julie Kay details yet another costly and complicated headache for cities, taxpayers and financial institutions alike. Homeowners aren't the only ones claiming they were victimized by the subprime
Dept. of It Could Be A Story In The Onion
Fri, 09 May 2008 17:31:52 PDT
I was agog at this headline: Platonic ideal of a cheese sandwich realised in Britain No, it's not from The Onion, it's an actual news story about a real reaction to an actual sandwich. A food critic went to London and: The food across all levels is fantastic in London. There has been an enormous change. But the one highlight I remember the most is this cheese sandwich. I was walking through Borough market with my 15-year-old son Nick and we bought one from the stall. I was knocked out by it
