Pennies From Heaven Slow In Coming
Apartment owner Walter Rode opened Severne Apartments to the poor last May claiming heaven’s instruction and stopped paying bills. Sixty four families live rent free as electricity is cut, the bank prepares to repossess, while residents decry his faith as the cause of their heat and hardship. Rode vows a $440,000 Christian aid pledge will cover back mortgage, water, power, gas, and his own debts including a Mercedes. So far donors provided only food and small cash.

Flirting is a studied social science says biologist
Philadelphia based biologist Timothy Perper studied about 2500 male female encounters in 50 bars over two years. The Guggenheim funded $30000 for research showing women initiate flirtation more than half the time. He notes men often miss signals while women lead, with exchanges in bars and lounges as examples.
