Indeed, Cardinal Walter Kasper, the Vatican's outgoing chief of ecumenical, or intra-Christian, affairs, used a press conference last week to try to curb such fears, insisting that Rome was "not fishing in the Anglican lake...
...Facebook users have begun to skew older - the website is now as popular with 30-, 40- and 50-somethings as with the college students who pioneered it - they have found ways to reconnect with one another. And who better to get in touch with than an old flame?

Both MTV and the music-video-game industry could use the boost: sales in the format are down 46% this year...
...good, but the e-mail also mentioned a ban on partitioning suites out of concern that the divisions might block sprinklers from putting out fires in certain portions of a room. Kirkland Building Manager Scott Haywood says office and curtain partitions are generally fine, although preferably they should be flame resistant or flame retardant.
