WASHINGTON, June 4 — One presidential hopeful described how prayer helped him survive his son’s death and his wife’s cancer diagnosis. Another spoke about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of faith in forgiving those who treat others unjustly. A third said of her husband’s infidelity, “I’m not sure I would have gotten through it without my faith.”

clipper's remarks: oh my... they're at it again. now i believe that as long as they can provide for all of these children, it's their prerogative, but it's not like they are adopting needy children-- doesn't 17 BIOLOGICAL children border on selfish???

Arkansas mom preparing for birth of 17th child

LITTLE ROCK The Duggars are once again pulling out the pink ruffles and lace as they prepare for the birth of baby number 17.

Duggar, who is 40, says she's doing fine with her latest pregnancy. Although she has gotten older since she had her first child at age 21, she says she still has plenty of energy and only minor aches and pains.

USB Mini Fridge keeps the dorks cool

We know you've been waiting for it. Now finally, Brando brings you the $33 USB Mini Fridge. Sure, it takes 5 minutes to bring the fridge down to 8.5 degrees centigrade (47 degrees fahrenheit) and it holds just one can. But hey, it's a 5V USB-powered refrigerator dambit and that's worth it at any price.

Running the Numbers

An American Self-Portrait

This new series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 426,000 cell phones retired every day. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs.
