  1. Inside the White House Bible Study group<\/a> (Owen Amos, BBC): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But is a bible study for Cab\u00adi\u00adnet mem\u00adbers, with polit\u00adi\u00adcal themes, not a merg\u00ading of church and state? \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI believe in insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion, but not influ\u00aden\u00adtial separation,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 [Drollinger] says. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcNo mat\u00adter what the insti\u00adtu\u00adtion is \u2014 the fam\u00adi\u00adly, com\u00admerce, edu\u00adca\u00adtion \u2014 it needs the bul\u00adwark pre\u00adcepts of the word of God in order to func\u00adtion cor\u00adrect\u00adly\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 But the minute I start to amal\u00adga\u00admate the church and the state insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly, then I\u2019m into theocracy.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Why you stink at fact-check\u00ading <\/a>(Lisa Fazio, The Con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153First, peo\u00adple have a gen\u00ader\u00adal bias to believe that things are true. (After all, most things that we read or hear are true.) In fact, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some evi\u00addence that we ini\u00adtial\u00adly process all state\u00adments as true and that it then takes cog\u00adni\u00adtive effort to men\u00adtal\u00adly mark them as false. Sec\u00adond, peo\u00adple tend to accept infor\u00adma\u00adtion as long as it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s close enough to the cor\u00adrect infor\u00adma\u00adtion. Nat\u00adur\u00adal speech often includes errors, paus\u00ades and repeats. (\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcShe was wear\u00ading a blue \u00e2\u20ac\u201c um, I mean, a black, a black dress.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) One idea is that to main\u00adtain con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtions we need to go with the flow \u00e2\u20ac\u201c accept infor\u00adma\u00adtion that is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgood enough\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and just move on.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The author is a psych pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Van\u00adder\u00adbilt.<\/li>\n
  3. One extra glass of wine \u2018will short\u00aden your life by 30 min\u00adutes\u2019<\/a> (Sarah Bose\u00adly, The Guardian): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The risks for a 40-year-old of drink\u00ading over the rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded dai\u00adly lim\u00adit were com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adble to smok\u00ading, said one lead\u00ading sci\u00aden\u00adtist. \u2018Above two units a day, the death rates steadi\u00adly climb,\u2019 said David Spiegel\u00adhal\u00adter, Win\u00adton pro\u00adfes\u00adsor for the pub\u00adlic under\u00adstand\u00ading of risk at the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Cambridge.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d This is cer\u00adtain\u00adly going to be con\u00adtest\u00aded research, but it caught my eye.<\/li>\n
  4. The 10-Year Baby Win\u00addow That Is the Key to the Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pay Gap<\/a> (Claire Cain Miller, NY Times): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When women have their first child between age 25 and 35, their pay nev\u00ader recov\u00aders, rel\u00ada\u00adtive to that of their hus\u00adbands. Yet women who have their first baby either before 25 or after 35 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d before their careers get start\u00aded or once they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re estab\u00adlished \u00e2\u20ac\u201d even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly close the pay gap with their husbands.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/li>\n
