Last updated on: May 30, 2013 at 11:50 am By Jason Morehead

In 2011, the college football world was rocked by revelations that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky had been molesting young boys for years, and that Penn State officials had essentially covered it up.

ELSEWHERE: This Dude Has Yawn-Inducing Super Powers

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 1:10 pm By Jewel Evans

You know it’s happened to you: you’re somewhere out and about and you catch it– a yawn. It’s almost impossible to stifle it, no matter how hard you try. It has often amazed me how I can Skype with my brother in Austria and catch his yawn. A guy had an idea to prank individuals with a yawn and the results are… catchy. Better watch out or you could be next! Read more

ELSEWHERE: Bob Dylan’s World

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 8:17 am By Jewel Evans

Last week was Bob Dylan’s 72nd birthday and, like any other day, it’s a good day to enjoy some Bob. As a little kid, I didn’t like the sultry and aged sound of Dylan’s voice. I thought the songs were too long and his stories far-fetched. Years later and three concerts attended (thanks, Dad!!), Dylan has become my favorite story-telling, harmonica-playing, emotion-stirring artist. So, here’s to Dylan! Read more

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 7:23 am By Richard Clark

This week, we’re taking a hard look at issues related to class, the less fortunate, and social justice, most notably with two features exclusively available in the iPad and iPhone app (yes we are uncomfortably aware of the inconsistency) If you are financially able, make sure you download and subscribe now! (there’s a free trial if you’re uncertain. You’ll love it though, so it’s kinda redundant.) This issue, Alan Noble ponders what the church’s response to the everpresent class crisis ought to...
