...covered like the [soccer] FA Cup now, no other festival is treated that way," says Paul Stokes, news editor of British music weekly the NME. The hippie shindig that became a celebration of counterculture is now as established a fixture on the British social calendar as Wimbledon. When the BBC broadcasts live coverage of the festival over three channels, online and on several radio stations, it's hard to maintain the mystery of alt-cachet. After last year's Glastonbury, Stokes wrote an editorial in the NME saying the atmosphere at the event was suffering as young people sought...
...Direction is not the only church promoting a frequent-sex regimen. In February, Paul Wirth, pastor of the Relevant Church in Tampa, Fla., issued what he called "The 30-Day Sex Challenge." The program featured an extensive questionnaire, a Bible verse a day and the assumption that participants would engage in some kind of sex each night.

Most of us might would make such a decision based on emotions - witnessing the pain of hunger, or experiencing the fear of nuclear terorrism. But what if there were a way to calculate the exact value of global priorities, a way to figure out just how much human suffering...
...even if the town halls are less interactive than he claims, it's hard to overstate their importance to his candidacy or how much better they showcase him than his normal campaign speeches. On the night Obama wrapped up the nomination before a crowd of thousands in St. Paul, Minn., McCain delivered a stiff, formal speech from Louisiana before a wall the color of Kermit the Frog. He came across as nervous and stilted, his eyes fixed on the teleprompter as he emphasized the wrong words. In such settings, McCain can appear impatient, if not phony. He tries to cover...
