Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:29:33 PDT
Apologetics is a branch of systematic theology, although some experience it’s thrust in religious studies or philosophy of religion courses. Some encounter it on the internet for the first time in a more populist and usually much less academic form. As I see it, apologetics is primarily concerned with the protection of a position, the refutation of that position's assailants and, in the larger sense, the exploration of that position in the context of prevailing philosophies and standards in a se

Little research has yet been conducted on scientific networking and its possible uses in ascertaining the composition of research groups, the differences in associations between specialities or departments, and the different policies that may be followed in this regard, depending on the institution or the domain analyzed. The work shown here, by Antonio Perianes-Rodriguez, aims at filling this gap by focusing on a specific facet of scientific communication networks - scientific co-authorship n
Like a Virgin: Vintage Madonna
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:43:22 PDT
All of this recent Madonna exposure makes me a little sad. Too many pumped muscles, too much shiny purple and too much shiny hair. Not that I am going to sit here and criticise Lady Madonna, but give me the rough edges and genuine rebellion of her “Like a Virgin” days any, well, day. In ...]
Real Estate: Markets that missed the boom now sport rising home prices (Market Watch)
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:53:59 PDT
Challenging real estate markets can be found across the U.S. as home prices decline, the volume of sales fall and foreclosures rise. But in some places the biggest challenge has been convincing would-be buyers and sellers that local conditions don’t resemble the national trends.

The dude has some wicked tattoos running down his arm that scream “Yeah, I’m in fashion, but I’ll kick your ass if you call me a sissy.” Not to sure what the tattoos are of (plan to find out) but I think it’s interesting this is the first time he’s been photographed displaying them.

Gwen Maximizes Her Bump
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:08:21 PDT
Even if the maxi-dress wasn't already one of spring's hottest trends, Gwen would still be working the look as one of her signature maternity styles, here at a party with hot hubby Gavin and his mini-me, soon to be big brother Kingston. We're just happy she seems to have chosen one that DOESN'T look like it came from Forever 21... not that there's anything wrong with that! Cutest. Family. Ever.

With Earth Day upon us, now is a great time to reflect on our own lives and recognize ways we can incorporate a healthier, environmentally-friendly lifestyle into our busy lives. Recycling products like paper, aluminum and plastics are possibly some of the easiest ways to help our planet, but living in a home that has been constructed to be as kind to the environment as possible is another small way to lessen your carbon footprint.

Personal and Professional Personas in Social Networks
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:04:53 PDT
In the Facebook 210 course I describe a way to use Facebook’s Friend lists to create a “work-safe” profile that is less likely to cause professional problems, when that high school classmate or college buddy tags you in a questionable photo or writes on your wall. This led to a thoughtful comment from Erik Giberti: I’ve sent you a friend request and of course your on my limited profile. I find this discussion interesting because there’s a fine line between having a personal persona and a prof
Advertisers nervous about the neighbours in MySpace
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:13:15 PDT
Interesting development for News Corp’s share price, with analysts in the US lowering their estimates of the stock’s value due to an expected failure of the company’s social networking site, MySpace, to meet its 2008 advertising revenue target. You might think that a commercial property with nearly 108 million users would be an attractive prospect for advertisers, but Bloomberg.com reports that marketers are nervous about placing their ads alongside MySpace’s user-generated content.

Facebook Lexicon: Kinda Fun, But Useful?
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:20:50 PDT
Facebook just recently released a fun new thingy called Lexicon. It shows you a graph of the occurrences of certain words or phrases over time on all Facebook walls. Since I do quite a lot of research using Facebook, I thought I’d take a look at it. Facebook has some suggested phrase pairs that you can use such as “party tonight” and “hungover.” And as expected, the phrases are cyclical and you tend to see a spike in “hungover” the day after “party tonight.” But it’s worth noting that you ca
