Sunspots 497

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A good blog post on why congregations aren't singing, only listening, in some churches.
Health: (or not!) National Public Radio reports that the victims of a hospital medical mistake are seldom told about that mistake, and seldom receive any apology. Over 200,000 patients die each year because of a mistake in a hospital.
Literature: (or something) A rant, with instructions, on how to make last names into plurals.
Politics: National Public Radio reports on the lottery for office locations, won or lost by incoming US Congressional electees.
Science: (or something) The tweel may eventually replaced inflatable tires. Michelin now has a plant to produce them.
