...chose a joyous one. He ordained the Reverend Canon Humphrey Southern as a new bishop. The ceremony took place in London's St. Paul's Cathedral, and the crowd smiled to see Williams, the tousle-headed, professorial leader of the Church of England and titular head of its global offshoot, the Anglican Communion, reveling in his mellifluous baritone as he prayed, sang and performed the rite of ordination. "Will you strive for the visible unity of Christ's Church?" asked Williams. Answered Southern, "By the help of God, I will...
...last official act before a three-month sabbatical, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams ordained a new bishop in London's St. Paul's Cathedral. Williams, the tousle-haired leader of the Church of England and titular head of its global offshoot, the Anglican Communion, performed the liturgy of ordination: "Will you strive for the visible unity of Christ's Church?" he asked.

The result of that effort was a consensus of many individuals’ genomes, and because the genome is nearly-identical among all humans, it was enormously useful...
...digital broadcasters (i.e. webcasters) now have to pay royalties to performers as well. The major players (from large commercial radio stations to educational stations) have been wrangling in Washington to determine how much stations need to pay and how much of their programming they need to report.Enter SoundExchange, an offshoot of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) that acts as a royalty collecting agency for performers. Unlike BMI and ASCAP, SoundExchange seems determined to be anything but friendly to the stations it interacts with, particularly the college radio broadcasters who are attempting to negotiate a different rate for educational...
