Explaining Iowa: The God Strategy at Work

God and religion have always been part of U.S. politics, but our analysis of more than 15,000 public communications by political leaders from Franklin Roosevelt's election in 1932-the beginning of the modern presidency-through six years of George W. Bush's administration revealed a striking increase in public religiosity beginning in 1980.

The 28-year-old Academy Award-nominated actor has been found dead in his New York residence in Soho. According to NYPD, Ledger's housekeeper and a masseuse found the actor unconscious on his bed around 3:30pm ET. When he did not respond after they tried to wake him up, they had immediately called 911. The police said no foul play was likely involved. They had found pills near the body. Ledger was reportedly in full cardiac arrest when the paramedics responded. CPR was performed, but the actor was pronounced dead on the scene. Ledger is probably best known for his controversial and award-nominated role as Ennis del Mar in 'Brokeback Mountain'. He had gained fan base with the 1999 movie '10 Things I Hate About You' and 'A Knights Tale.' He was set to play Joker in the forthcoming Batman film 'The Dark Knight.' Ledger has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, with ex girlfriend Michelle Williams. .

CES 2008 Picks and Pans

There were more new HDTVs than people in Las Vegas this week. (And our favorite was only a concept model! Doh!) But we liked some other stuff, too, including high-fashion notebooks, cell phones that silence with a wave of your hand, and even a set of diving goggles with their own built-in camera. Here's more of what the PCW CES team loved and hated at this year's show.
