Controlling Clock Skew

Apparently clock skew has something to do with generating randomness. Don't ask me what; I just like how the term rolls of my tongue. But in honor of controlling clock skew, here are some random items I came across today:

• It's National Sleep Awareness Week! Activities include a "Public Policy and Sleep Leadership Forum" and a "Healthy Sleep Community Award" competition. No mention of skewering any alarm clocks, however.
• Emily & CJ have their own blogs, which are now in the Blogs sidebar located to your right. Word on the street is they're getting married.
• Mark got a little cheeky about the Schiavo uproar.
• Lesbians and bisexual women are underestimating their risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases, according to a Guttmacher Institute report.
• The Washington Post has an extensive feature on the D.C. Police Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit. Did the recent murder of Wanda Alston, a local GLBT activist, have anything to do with prompting this article? Probably, and that's a shame that it took a murder to bring public notice to the Unit and its work.
• An Idaho Planned Parenthood chapter can declare victory after a District Court affirms a lower court's decision about a vicious law concerning abortion and parental consent.
• And, finally, everybody's favorite Willy Wonka publishes an autobiography.
