...religious and secular values is being sorted out in a court of the French Republic - whose own quasi-theological ideology insists matters of faith stay far removed from public life. To that end, the Republic encourages religions to organize themselves into "official" organizations with which the state can interact - the co-plaintiff Union of Islamic Organizations of France being the largest member of France's "official" Islamic structure, which Sarkozy himself was instrumental in founding in 2003. The politicians might also check out a new poll published as the case came to trial, which shows that fully 79% of French...
...league, she was named the league's Most Improved Player. "What this game did for me was encourage me that I could still do these kinds of things," she says. "It came around when I needed it.

...natural history required to understand consciousness is now readily available in evolutionary biology and psychology. Gene networks organize themselves to produce complex organisms whose brains permit behavior; further evolution enriches the complexity of those brains so that they can create sensory and motor maps that represent the environments they interact with; additional evolutionary complexity allows parts of the brain to talk to each other (figuratively speaking) and generate maps of the organism interacting with its environment. Within the frame of those interactions, the conversation among the maps spontaneously and continuously tells the "story" of our organism responding to and being...
