55 million year old mouse-sized fossil in China, oldest yet known primate in the group of animals that includes humans.

NSA surveillance: essential or obscene? The only reason to surveil most of us would be to cure someone’s insomnia. Anyone who tolerates airport harassment in order to prevent another 9/11 for the plane we are about to board might think twice before going into orbit over having your data surveilled.

June 7: National Donut Day. Latest NYC craze is the Cronut from Dominique Ansel Bakery. The cronut is made from thin layers of flaky croissant dough that are deep fried and then carefully injected with a light Tahitian vanilla cream. A thin layer of rose-flavored glaze coats the top layer. Purple colored candied rose petals add some crunch but also make for a beautiful garnish. $5. New flavor for June, lemon maple. July, dulce de leche.

Throughout history and round the world, religion and faith for many is putrefied by certitude, what someone called the illusion of knowledge. But faith is not knowing. Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. No matter how tightly we squint our eyes, clench our fists, grit our teeth and fervently believe, faith is still hope, never knowledge.
