Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
I'm not sure quite where to put this. Jan has a good short post on crying.
Science:
It's possible that a man has been cured of AIDS by a bone transplant, Wired reports.
National Public Radio reports that we have photographed large planets from other solar systems.
Politics:
(or something) Wired on why we have five time zones in North America. (China has only one, I believe.)
A Slate writer discusses a politically conservative environmentalist agenda. (And says that that is not an oxymoron!)
Computing:
CBS News points out that, for teenagers, the dangers of driving drunk are much greater than those of on-line predators.
Christianity:
Ken Schenck on the Tribulation: "But Paul knows nothing of a seven year tribulation."
Schenck also reviewed a book on women's roles, by a Christian author. He says that the author argues that the so-called traditional family, with the woman at home, is a post-industrial revolution development. ". . . before the industrial revolution everyone was at home and everyone worked at home."

The article on the time zones is interesting. Who knew?
Thanks, Julana. Not me, for one.
