  1. @RDispatches Thanks for the piece about specious experiments. Wish @TheAtlanticHLTH would be more discerning & not report weak science.
  2. @ProPublica Not surprised fmr SF mayor Gavin Newsom is bored in Sacramento. After marriage to @kimguilfoyle, anything would be dull.
  3. Mentoring children of prisoners has become more religious now that fed $ & fed restrictions are gone. My report: bit.ly/KpYPTF
  4. @BostonFoodDiary Yes, faux pas. Except in the postseason, when socialites arrive in furs in the 3rd inning. Then heels are expected.
  5. @egorski Bruce Nolan's #RNA speech after Katrina was astounding. Gravitas from a man who's earned it.
  6. Sorry 2 hear this MT @egorski gifted writer & veteran religion reporter Bruce Nolan among the Times Picayune layoffs: nyti.ms/K6mKYy
  7. How voluntourism might be fueling exploitation in Cambodian orphanages: aljazeera.com/programmes/peo…
  8. Loyalty matters. And is deeply appreciated. Be loyal.
  9. Unabomber, 50 years out of Harvard, lists in alum directory 8 life sentences as awards. #Harvard regrets it. m.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/una…
  10. After 8 years of 24/7 vigils, Boston RC parishes are running out of options as Rome denies appeals. My RNS report: sojo.net/blogs/2012/05/…
  11. Charles Dickens, Christian reformer. My PW interview with author of the new book, "God and Charles Dickens" -- bit.ly/LoWs2Z
  12. Surrounded by like-minded people in #church & neighborhood? It has consequences: economist.com/blogs/democrac…
  13. Churchgoers hearing less politics from pulpits than in past election cycles. Relig politics goes populist. My report: wapo.st/JxtvxC
  14. Americans say they want houses of worship to keep out of politics. Churches are listening. My RNS report: wapo.st/JxtvxC
