...users grows, the value of searching for information via your extended social network will start to rival Google's approach to the search. If you're looking for information on Benjamin Franklin, an essay shared by one of your favorite historians might well be more valuable than the top result on Google; if you're looking for advice on sibling rivalry, an article recommended by a friend of a friend might well be the best place to start...
...perfect detail, the exquisite humanity that exists within the womb, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. Late-term abortions - no more than a few percent of the total performed in the U.S. - were Tiller's specialty. These are usually hard cases, sometimes the result of rape or incest or the discovery of severe birth defects. But they are, without question, the taking of a life.

It was great that Obama implied that hard truth; it would have been wonderful...

Could the school not even accept 12 transfer students per year? That would amount to a grand total of one additional resident of each House...
...sounds like the plot of a bad movie. A young British woman goes on holiday to Laos, a landlocked Southeast Asian nation that's a favorite of backpackers enchanted by its laid-back vibe and vibrant Buddhist culture. But she lands in jail on drug-smuggling charges that could result in execution. Then events take a melodramatic turn: the woman becomes pregnant while in jail - and a Laotian state newspaper claims she impregnated herself with semen from a fellow prisoner to escape the death penalty, since local law precludes putting expectant mothers in front of a firing squad...
