Have a good Labor Day weekend!<\/p>\n

Catholics and the Evolving Cosmos<\/a>. And yet 35% of American Roman Catholics are Creationists according to the GSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

23andMe kits at some discount<\/a>, with a subscription to the “personal genome service”<\/a> for at least 3 months. Normal complete edition is about $500, with the discount it’s about $300 + 3 X $5 = $315. The personal genome service doesn’t look like much value-add from what I can tell, just a way to get extra money out of you. I assume they’ve calculated that $5 is a small enough amount that many people won’t unsubscribe after 3 months.<\/p>\n

\nCapsaicin Can Act as Co-Carcinogen, Study Finds; Chili Pepper Component Linked to Skin Cancer<\/a>. The problem is with topical creams. I keep track of this stuff because I eat a lot of spicy food. On the balance it seems that it does more good than bad, so I’m pretty chilled out, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Insight Offered Into Superstitious Behavior<\/a> Thinking about death makes people less<\/i> superstitious? Can you think of a better explanation of what’s going on here?<\/p>\n

The median undergrad is graduating with around a little north of $20,000 in debt, but there are people way up the scale. It’s a skewed distribution. Too many people think of student loans as “free money.” Actually, it’s someone’s<\/i> money. In fact, it’s your money, whether through direct federal loans and subsidizations, or through the big pool of capital drawing on pension and mutual funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
