We are very pleased to announce that registration for The Amaz!ng Meeting (TAM) 7 is now open!

TAMs are the premier conferences for critical thinkers across the globe, and always feature great speakers, good times, and a warm and wonderful community. TAM 7 will continue that tradition.

Reader Steve has pointed us to an interesting thing in the Washington Post. Unsurprisingly, they report on congressional votes. Their online report has some nice sort options:

By party | By state/territory | By region | By boomer status | By gender | By astrological sign

If you watch late night TV, you might see the likes of Peter Popoff or Benny Hinn "healing" people on the stage. They'll throw away their crutches, pill bottles, and glasses, and praise Jesus for healing them. You'll never see an amputee on the stage though, because apparently God hates amputees.

But with science, you might be able to have an actual cure.

Welcome to our shiny new server! You should notice a huge improvement in performance as this new machine has more of everything.

We need to thank volunteer Terry Heatlie for devoting his entire weekend to the server move, as well as for helping maintain things year round. He's one of the special people without whom the JREF couldn't function. Thank you, Terry.
