World Map
Linked to this site from my mates at Crookedstore (thanks Glenn) I was astonished and challenged by seeing our world mapped in this format. What do ya think?
Infant mortality is babies who die during the first year of their life. In 2002 there were 7.2 million infant deaths worldwide; 5.4% of all babies born died within their first year, including 2.3% in their first week.
The territory with the most infant deaths was India, at 1.7 million, or 24% of the world total. In India, for every 100 babies born alive, almost 7 die in the following 12 months.
In 22 territories the rate is over 1 infant death for every 10 live births. All of these 22 territories are in Africa. The highest infant mortality rate is in Sierra Leone where 16.5 babies die, of every 100 born alive.

West Wing Theology?

West Wing
I came to the West Wing late via the recommendation of friends. Having fastracked my way via DVD, I've been amazed and encouraged at the wisdom which is contained within its scripts. Yes, yes I know its fictional, but like the Simpsons, there can be some great wisdom and Theology that leaks from its episodes.
For a glimpse of Jed Bartlett's theology, follow this link to the wonderful Youtube site and let Graceland know what you think.
