Excerpt:

She's still got it. Cindy Crawford is on the latest cover of Shape in a bikini she could've worn when she first graced the front of the magazine two decades ago. The 46-year-old mom-of-two stays in shape by working out with a personal trainer and staying active. "I try to go hiking once a week and I really love to go with a girlfriend because it's like therapy plus working out," she said. (Shape) External links are provided for reference purposes.

Opinion: Merry atheist Christmas!

Happy Christmas

Excerpt:

(CNN) -- I wrote a book called "Every Day is an Atheist Holiday." Recently I got up at the non-Vegas magical hour of 6 a.m. to do radio interviews all over the country to let people know about it. I did some interviews with atheist and skeptic podcasts, but the 6 a.m. talks were usually morning radio. And morning radio has a lot of theists. My book had just come out that day so even jocks who wanted to read it hadn't had the time to do more than skim. Many of the DJs saw the words "holiday" and "atheist" and asked me how I felt about "The War on Christmas." Fox News is usually credited with spreading the panic about this war on Christmas. Bill O'Reilly talks about atheists and left-wing loons ruining Christmas for children. Fox's Bill O'Reilly warns of a war on Christmas.

Edison voice recording old, but not oldest | Essentials

Edison voice recording old, but not oldest

Excerpt:

The oldest playable recording of an American voice was to make its second public debut Friday  when a newly digitized version is played at a theater in Schenectady, N.Y. The first playback took place immediately after the recording was scratched onto a sheet of tinfoil, at a demonstration of Thomas Edison's freshly invented phonograph on June 22, 1878, in St. Louis. But despite the fact that Edison was the first person to play an audio recording, he was not the first person to record audio. And depending on the chosen definition of "performance," the 1878 phonograph recording, which features a cornet solo and a recitation of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," is not the first-ever recording of a musical performance, as is being reported.
