Christian businesses were once easy to spot only if they belonged to the $4.2 billion industry of producing and marketing Bibles, CDs and other explicitly Christian products. Large corporations with Christian foundations--the Curves fitness chain, Chick-fil-A, Servicemaster--have quietly tucked religious principles in mission statements or employee guidelines. But the new breed of Christian entrepreneurs advertises its faith loud and clear, often in its names and logos. There are Christian banks, car dealerships, gyms, plumbers, financial planners, mortgage lenders, moving companies, building contractors and Internet-service providers. As more Christians hang their beliefs on their shingles, secular...
...sold more CDs than Gwen Stefani and Coldplay last week, without humming a tune. DANE COOK'S Retaliation is the highest-charting comedy album (No. 4 on Billboard) since Steve Martin's A Wild and Crazy Guy in 1979. Though his success surprised most of the off-campus public, "I kind of felt the rumblings of this happening," says the Boston stand-up star, whose college fans throw listening parties for his albums.

It doesn't always work...
...this the right printer to spend $200 on? It's a tough question. I like Epson printers, but I value image quality and versatility (Epson's Stylus Photo R320 can print onto CDs) over speed. The bottom line: Epson may make a prettier picture, but now it's only slightly prettier, and it doesn't come out anywhere near as fast...
...every day that my right leg was unaffected so I could continue to drive. Even before the surgery, most of my visits to New York were spent driving around in my car. I’d pick up friends, and we’d drive for hours listening to CDs only we could appreciate. In the days before college, my car was the one space where I felt I had any real privacy. It was my home, where my parents couldn’t monitor who I was with or what I was doing. Being...
