More links on marriage equality in Iowa - (USA)
It's day four for legal same-sex marriage in Iowa, and I still haven't seen any reports of couples being refused a marriage license anywhere in the state. The Des Moines Register reported that about 350 same-sex couples received marriage licenses on Monday, the day the Iowa Supreme Court's ruling in Varnum v Brien went into effect. More than half of those applications were in five large counties: Polk (Des Moines area), Johnson (Iowa City), Linn (Cedar Rapids), Pottawattamie (Council Bluffs) a

Putting Youth Social Networking Activities and Safety in Perspective - (USA)
I’ve spent a lot of time in recent years trying to debunk various myths about online child safety or at least put those risks into perspective. Too often, press reports and public policy initiatives are being driven by myths, irrational fears, or unjustified “moral panics.” Luckily, the New York Times reports that there’s another study out this week that helps us see things in a more level-headed light. This new MacArthur Foundation report is entitled Living and Learning with New Media: Summar

Baseball Drills For Your Little Leaguer - (USA)
by Chris Campbell If you’ve been lucky enough to have an opportunity to try and hit a fastball pitched by a professional, or semi-professional pitcher, then you know how hard it can be. There have been a few crossover athletes, that move between baseball and other sports, that have tried their hand at doing just that. Micheal Jordan for instance was only able to bat around 200 when he played for a professional farm team. I don’t think he ever performed that low on a basketball court for

The slipperiness of the rules - (USA)
The ever-thoughtful Arnold Zwicky has written at Language Log about the problems inherent in the “attempt to regulate publication practices rigidly.” That is, the structure at newspapers and other publications at which “writers are expected to adhere to the prescribed practices, and editors are expected to correct them when they don't." The first problem he mentions is the sheer quantity of choices in such an effort: [T]here are alternative styles used by different writers on different occasi

Day 3, Tel Aviv ... and no LeBron James sighting - (USA)
TEL AVIV, Israel - While chatting with Omri Casspi's brother, Eitan, at the family's home in the southern suburbs of the city, the Kings rookie grabbed his laptop to see if the NBA schedule had been released. He was about six hours early - and sure to be disappointed. His friends have all been wondering where he would make his NBA debut. He was hoping for a game in Sacramento or Cleveland against LeBron James. But no such luck. Instead, he gets a trip to Oklahoma City and a three-game road trip.

The Church and Our Roles as Christians - (USA)
We have thousands of churches in the world today, from the big organized church to the smallest informal congregation at the remotest region on earth. Believers are spoilt for choices as they can choose whichever church suits their needs. The downside of this vast selections is the confusion and frustration of believers trying to find that elusive ‘true church’, the one that truly obeys God. Many left church because of disillusionment and disappointment with various teachings, which varies from

A Right to Be Punished? - (USA)
From the Department of Paradoxes in Sporting Jurisprudence: Last Saturday night, at the end of the NBA playoff basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets, Antoine Wright of the Mavericks broke the rules.

That was Wright’s objective. At the instruction of the Mavericks’ co

What Type Of Wristwatch Should I Buy? - (USA)
by Debra Brian Hunt Wrist watches are a fashion statement for men and go along with the look they choose for themselves. They reflect their personality and show their taste in fashion accessories. The problem is that there are too many wrist watches in the markets and it’s very hard to choose the one that would both serve the purpose of telling time and make a fashion statement at the same time.

The Social Construction of Gen Y - (USA)
A couple of days ago, a fellow blogger commented on this rather unfortunate Fortune article on his blog . It is interesting for several reasons. First, the ideas are cookie-cutter and stale. Us Gen Yers had been told (to a certain extent) that we were on the cusp of a great demographic shift, where baby boomers’ impending departure would wreak havoc on corporate health. True, some of us were led to believe that our contribution would be valued at a premium, which would in turn translate
