Ronald Bailey Rounds Up Social Science Data on Same-Sex Marriage


Happily ever after? Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral
arguments in two cases challenging legal restrictions on same-sex
marriage. Proponents and opponents sought to cudgel one another
with sociological and psychological studies aiming to prove that
science is on their side. In slightly different version of this
article that originally appeared the Wall Street Journal's
Ideas Market, Reason Science Correspondent Ronald Bailey
parses the data on same-sex marriage, divorce, children, and
monogamy.

Criminals Have So Much Freedom In Cairo They Stole This Bridge Over A Major Street

It's one thing to talk about Cairo police and their inability to ensure order. But learning how a group of criminals leisurely stole a major bridge from over a bustling city street, during a three-and-a-half hour escapade, is something else entirely.

The following pictures of the former Al Goria pedestrian bridge are in Hussein, Caro and taken from a major road connecting the airport and other parts of the city. My translator explained the thieves stole the bridge sometime throughout the night six months ago and he heard it took them nearly four hours to remove it. They were after costly copper in the railings and infrastructure.

The theft was confirmed by my hotel desk clerk who said thieves steal whatever they want, no police to call, and if anyone says anything the thieves gang will shoot them. A group stole some ornate copper railing from the stairway in the hotel a few months ago, he said, and there was nothing he could do.

The chaos is so extreme many here believe it must be supported by their new government.

It's true the new government seems to be one of the few groups benefiting from the revolution. The government and the police, who have seen their salaries nearly double.

Winter Is Coming For Apple, Warns Gene Munster (AAPL)

tormund game of thronesPiper Jaffray's Gene Munster is joining the parade of Apple analysts trying to lower expectations for its next two quarters.
  • He is calling for $41.4 billion in review for the March quarter, which lower than the street estimates of $42.8 billion.
  • He's calling for 35.5 million iPhones, which is in line with buy side expectations. He thinks the Street is at 37 million iPhones.
  • Munster is also at 3.8 million Macs versus 4.2 million for the Street.
  • He has a gross margin of 38 percent, while the Street is at 39 to 40 percent.
  • Also, he believes there will only be a small increase in the dividend, from $10.60 to ~$14, and no bump in the buyback.
  • He's also calling for June guidance in the range of $36-$38 billion, while the Street seems to be at $40.2 billion.
While it all sounds very bad, Munster thinks investors will look past the noise around the March quarter earnings and look to the second half of the year which should include new iPhones, new iPads, and potentially a new mystery gadget like a TV or smart watch. He has a $767 price target and an "Overweight" rating. Please follow SAI on Twitter and Facebook.Join the conversation about this story »
