Raids on the unspeakable
The other day the Wall Street Journal had a front page article on the new, militant European atheism. Americans will perhaps know it best through Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion, which remains high on the bestseller list.

Porn played on Disney Channel in N.J.
Cable operator Comcast is investigating how hardcore pornography was broadcast during a popular cartoon program on the Disney Channel.
Customer Paul Dunleavy would also like to know. He was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching something other than "Handy Manny," a cartoon about a bilingual Latino handyman and his talking tools. "It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," the Middletown father of three told The New York Daily News for Wednesday newspapers. "I couldn't believe it."
Fred DeAndrea, a spokesman for Philadelphia-based Comcast, confirmed the programming error occurred around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. He described it as an "isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility."
"We automatically detected the issue and it was corrected promptly. We apologize to any customer who experienced an issue yesterday morning," said DeAndrea, who said the mistake was made by his company, not Disney. DeAndrea declined to provide the duration of the pornography broadcast, how many homes it reached, how the mistake happened and whether anyone will be disciplined for the X-rated error.
"My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong," Dunleavy said, "and we're hoping what he saw doesn't become an issue for him."

Shifts in Energy Demand and Biofuels Capacity Could Turn the U.S. into a Net Exporter of Gasoline,
The refining industry is grappling with shifting scenarios for tomorrow’s energy landscape—including one case in which the United States could become a net exporter of gasoline by 2010, concludes a new analysis of the refining industry by global management consulting firm Booz & Company. The report, “Refining Trends: The Golden Age Or the Eye of The Storm? Part IV: Tough Choices,” explores rising demand for fuel in Asia and the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China), mandates for biofuels, alternative technology vehicles, and the introduction of $2,500 automobiles. This confluence of factors is confounding an industry that counts on 20-year predictions to guide investment decisions made today. (PRWeb Aug 26, 2008)
