...Conspiracy theorists know they have nothing. Press them for solid proof, and they claim they are just asking questions. Most conspiracies follow the same pattern. All evidence and expert testimony backing up the official story is "fake" or "planted," while the lack of evidence backing up the conspiracy theory is merely "proof" that the evidence is being covered up. With no structural engineers or demolition experts backing up the conspiracy nonsense, the theorizers rely instead on a cast of characters who are nuttier than squirrel dung. They make for good comedy, if nothing else. Jan Burton Toronto...
...late 1990s, only 15% of Europeans said that they attended a place of worship each week. Despite some last-minute lobbying by Poland, Italy and others, the draft of the E.U. constitution treaty finalized in 2004 omitted any mention of God or Christian values. But the familiar pattern of religion's retreat and secularism's advance now has to be reassessed. The wave of immigration from Muslim countries to Europe has catalyzed a new debate about the place of faith in public life. By varying estimates, up to 18 million Muslims now live in Western Europe, up from less than...
...government "change our foreign policy to show the world that we value the lives of civilians wherever they live and whatever their religion." British Home Secretary John Reid described the letter as a "dreadful misjudgment." But it is not only because of Europe's Muslims that the old patterns are changing. Recent controversies have inspired a broader and deeper re-examination of what it means to be European, reviving the ancient struggle between Christian and secular values. The Spanish parliament's recent decision to legalize gay marriage, for example, was met by severe disapproval from the Vatican, as were...
...then the letting go”).Indeed, the standout track, “Cursed Sleep,” might be the most musically complex piece to ever carry Oldham’s name. Violins ascend while cellos spiral downwards, the melody darts from wall to wall in a careful pattern, and Dawn McCarthy’s counterpoint vocals plead out variations of the song’s title over and over and over again. Meanwhile, Will narrates a primordial, but endlessly complex, human scene: lovers lying in bed.“I slept sweetly, unpretending / that the night was always...
...analogy I can come up with is that this genomic data is like having just the names in a phone book; it's only a list. We want to know what those genes do. So we can now go to the mouse atlas, which gives us the gene [activity] pattern in a normal mouse brain. Is this gene expressed in normally? Is it expressed at a higher or lower level in a tumor? We use the atlas every day, to figure out which genes are important to the biology of the tumor, and which are bystanders...
