...altarpiece itself is not spectacular. Certainly, it is visually pleasing—it is called the Beffi Triptych after the village for which it was painted, and narrates the lives of the Virgin Mary and Christ in an expressive and vibrant style. One panel depicts Christ’s nativity, another the death of the Virgin. Yet, this piece of art communicates numerous messages. It represents how— in a political world of words and numbers—a gesture can speak more loudly...
...many inmates as it was intended for. Many observers warn that increasing overcrowding is a serious threat in U.S. prisons as well. Reform advocates welcomed a judicial ruling earlier this month requiring California to reduce its prison population more than 25% over the next two years. A three-judge panel ordered the state to trim more than 40,000 inmates from its rolls because adequate medical care was unavailable to them, but the order also cited concerns over public safety. "In these overcrowded conditions," the judges wrote, "inmate-on-inmate violence is almost impossible to prevent." Just last month, Federal...

...Bing's search results are presented somewhat differently than Google's. A Bing results page has two components: a left-hand navigation panel that lets users click on related or recent searches, and a center panel that groups the search results into what Bing deems logical categories. Search for Obama, for example, and you'll see results grouped into categories such as Obama news, Obama issues, Obama facts and Obama biography. Google does have a type of categorization in its "related searches" feature, but it's not nearly as prominent as what Bing's. Bing also has a handy video...
