Greetings.

Jewish date:  8 Tammuz 5770 (Parashath Balaq).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Father’s Day, World Refugee Day (UN), Ice Cream Soda Day.

Worthy causes of the day:  “End Violence Against Women - The Petition Site”, “Friends of the Earth U.S.”, “Action at Oil Change”, “Obama, Say No To Commercial Whaling! - The Petition Site”, “ONE | 3.5 Million Healthworkers Needed”, “Support Women's Health with the Global MOMS Act - The Petition Site”, “Please Include the Temple Mount in the Heritage Plan - אנא הוסף את הר הבית לרשימת אתרי המורשת Petition”, “Working Families » Take Action!”, and “What President Obama should have said.”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “The Living Matrix: A Movie Promoting Energy Medicine Beliefs”
• “How We Fool Ourselves Over and Over”
• “White rice raises risk of type 2 diabetes”
• “Real names of 23 fictional characters”
• “10 Things the Internet has Ruined and Five Things it Hasn't”
• “WickedLasers Unveils "Lightsaber" Powerful Enough to Set People on Fire”
• “The Real Science Gap”, which is described as “It’s not insufficient schooling or a shortage of scientists. It’s a lack of job opportunities. Americans need the reasonable hope that spending their youth preparing to do science will provide a satisfactory career.”
• “Fact or Fiction: The Days (and Nights) Are Getting Longer”
• “Solar Powered Shrub Car is Not Your "Garden Variety" EV”
• “Climate already helping disease spread north: study”

Today’s weird thing is “Pac Man Movie”, which deals with the lives of ghosts and their war on Pac-Man.

Enjoy and share the weirdness.
