Cellphone talkers as bad as drunk drivers: study - People who talk on cellphones while driving, even using "hands-free" devices, are as impaired as drunk drivers, researchers said on Thursday.

They studied 40 volunteers who used a driving simulator four times -- while undistracted, using a handheld cell phone, using a hands-free cell phone and while intoxicated to a 0.08 percent blood-alcohol level -- the average legal level of impairment in the United States -- after drinking vodka and orange juice.

Three study participants rear-ended the simulated car in front of them. All were talking on cellphones and none was drunk, the researchers said.

Motorists who talked on either handheld or hands-free cell phones drove slightly more slowly, were 9 percent slower to hit the brakes, and varied their speed more than undistracted drivers.

Bush is a such a tool

From the new book The One Percent Doctrine

What they'd learned over nearly a decade is that bin Laden speaks only for strategic reasons — and those reasons are debated with often startling depth inside the organization's leadership. Their assessments, at day's end, are a distillate of the kind of secret, internal conversations that the American public, and by association the wider world community, were not sanctioned to hear: strategic analysis.

Today's conclusion: bin Laden's message was clearly designed to assist the President's reelection.

At the five o'clock meeting, once various reports on latest threats were delivered, John McLaughlin opened the issue with the consensus view: "Bin Laden certainly did a nice favor today for the President."

Around the table, there were nods....Jami Miscik talked about how bin Laden — being challenged by Zarqawi's rise — clearly understood how his primacy as al Qaeda's leader was supported by the continuation of his eye-to-eye struggle with Bush. "Certainly," she offered, "he would want Bush to keep doing what he's doing for a few more years."

But an ocean of hard truths before them — such as what did it say about U.S. policies that bin Laden would want Bush reelected — remained untouched....On that score, any number of NSC principals could tell you something so dizzying that not even they will touch it: that Bush's ratings [in the U.S.] track with bin Laden's rating in the Arab world.

Many people who use cannabis find it difficult to stop, even when it interferes with other aspects of their lives, and more than a million people from all over the world enter treatment for cannabis dependence each year," the report said.

States vs. CO2

Supreme Court to Hear Bush Environment Case

WASHINGTON Jun 26, 2006 (AP)— The Supreme Court agreed Monday to consider whether the Bush administration must regulate carbon dioxide to combat global warming, setting up what could be one of the court's most important decisions on the environment.

The decision means the court will address whether the administration's decision to rely on voluntary measures to combat climate change are legal under federal clean air laws.

"This is the whole ball of wax. This will determine whether the Environmental Protection Agency is to regulate greenhouse gases from cars and whether EPA can regulate carbon dioxide from power plants," said David Bookbinder, an attorney for the Sierra Club.

Bookbinder said if the court upholds the administration's argument it also could jeopardize plans by California and 10 other states, including most of the Northeast, to require reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles.

any guesses on how the court will rule? I'll take 2 to 1 against.

He and his collaborators believe the mind-reading computer's applications could range from improving people's driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people's moods.

"Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods," he added.

AAAAARGH! What a friggin genius. Is there no hope?

The party is over

But they sure gave it a good run

But if the rhetoric of the Bush revolution lives on, the revolution itself is over. The question is not whether the president and most of his team still hold to the basic tenets of the Bush doctrine -- they do -- but whether they can sustain it. They cannot. Although the administration does not like to admit it, U.S. foreign policy is already on a very different trajectory than it was in Bush's first term. The budgetary, political, and diplomatic realities that the first Bush team tried to ignore have begun to set in.

Reality is a bitch.

Panel: Earth warmest in 400 years

On moving inland

Greenland's Ice Sheet Is Slip-Sliding Away

The Greenland ice sheet — two miles thick and broad enough to blanket an area the size of Mexico — shapes the world's weather, matched in influence by only Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere.

It glows like milky mother-of-pearl. The sheen of ice blends with drifts of cloud as if snowbanks are taking flight.

In its heartland, snow that fell a quarter of a million years ago is still preserved. Temperatures dip as low as 86 degrees below zero. Ground winds can top 200 mph. Along the ice edge, meltwater rivers thread into fraying brown ropes of glacial outwash, where migrating herds of caribou and musk ox graze.

The ice is so massive that its weight presses the bedrock of Greenland below sea level, so all-concealing that not until recently did scientists discover that Greenland actually might be three islands.

Should all of the ice sheet ever thaw, the meltwater could raise sea level 21 feet and swamp the world's coastal cities, home to a billion people. It would cause higher tides, generate more powerful storm surges and, by altering ocean currents, drastically disrupt the global climate.

Climate experts have started to worry that the ice cap is disappearing in ways that computer models had not predicted.

By all accounts, the glaciers of Greenland are melting twice as fast as they were five years ago, even as the ice sheets of Antarctica — the world's largest reservoir of fresh water — also are shrinking, researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Kansas reported in February.

The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia."

A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is running a fever and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." Their 155-page report said average global surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose about 1 degree during the 20th century.

Pointless question

Why the hell is "the boogie man" supposed to be scary? The etymology of boogie is as follows:

originally "dance to boogie music," a late 1960s style of rock music (based on blues chords), from earlier boogie, a style of blues (1941), short for boogie-woogie (1928), a reduplication of boogie, 1917, which meant "rent party" in Amer.Eng. slang.

So why fear the boogie man? Hell, I want him to come to my next rent party, right?

The globalization struggle

Comparative disadvantage

The battle between the proponents of unfettered globalization and the proponents of globalization with standards to protect labor and the environment has replaced the struggle between communism and capitalism over the best way to deliver the benefits of modern production to people around the globe. On the side of expanded globalization, many economists, international organizations, and developing country governments believe that free trade of goods and services and foreign investment promote the growth of less developed countries, and they fear that labor and environmental standards will undermine their competitiveness in global markets. The critics see global standards as a scheme to lower the comparative advantage of poor countries, and they believe that trade sanctions to enforce standards are protectionism in disguise.

Embracing an alternative vision of globalization, many nongovernmental and human rights activists, as well as most trade unions, believe that unencumbered free trade increases income inequality and creates a race to the bottom for workers worldwide. Many of these groups, particularly from developed countries, want trade agreements that include global labor standards and trade sanctions to enforce them. Nongovernmental organizations and unions from developing countries are often in the middle of this debate, favoring higher standards in their own countries but opposing the linking of those standards to trade for fear that their exports, and therefore jobs, will suffer.

The studies give more weight to a 17-year-old theory that the sanitized Western world may be partly to blame for soaring rates of human allergy and asthma cases and some autoimmune diseases, such as Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The theory, called the hygiene hypothesis, figures that people's immune systems aren't being challenged by disease and dirt early in life, so the body's natural defenses overreact to small irritants such as pollen.

Bush sees movie, changes policy

A turning point came in April, when Bush sat through a 65-minute private White House screening of a PBS documentary that unveiled the beauty of — and perils facing — the archipelago's aquamarine waters and its nesting seabirds, sea turtles and sleepy-eyed monk seals, all threatened by extinction.

The film seemed to catch Bush's imagination, according to senior officials and others in attendance. The president popped up from his front-row seat after the screening; congratulated filmmaker Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of the late underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau; and urged the White House staff to get moving on protecting these waters.

UN Report reveals global slum crisis

Slum-dwellers make up a third of the world's urban population and they live no better and most likely worse that rural people. Makes sense, rural people have at least the possibility to produce their own food.

Worst hit is Sub-Saharan Africa where 72% of urban inhabitants live in slums rising to nearly 100% in some states.

If no action is taken, the world's slum population could rise to 1.4bn by 2020.

What conservatives have won

The Don't-Bother-to-Knock Rule

The question in the case was what to do about it. Mr. Hudson wanted the evidence excluded at his trial. That is precisely what should have happened. Since 1914, the Supreme Court has held that, except in rare circumstances, evidence seized in violation of the Constitution cannot be used. The exclusionary rule has sometimes been criticized for allowing criminals to go free just because of police error. But as the court itself recognized in that 1914 case, if this type of evidence were admissible, the Fourth Amendment "might as well be stricken."

The court ruled yesterday that the evidence could be used against Mr. Hudson. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, argued that even if police officers did not have to fear losing a case if they disobeyed the knock-and-announce rule, the subjects of improper searches could still bring civil lawsuits to challenge them. But as the dissenters rightly pointed out, there is little chance that such suits would keep the police in line. Justice Scalia was also far too dismissive of the important privacy rights at stake, which he essentially reduced to "the right not to be intruded upon in one's nightclothes." Justice Stephen Breyer noted in dissent that even a century ago the court recognized that when the police barge into a house unannounced, it is an assault on "the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life."

If Justice Sandra Day O'Connor had stayed on the court, this case might well have come out the other way. For those who worry that Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito will take the court in a radically conservative direction, it is sobering how easily the majority tossed aside a principle that traces back to 13th-century Britain, and a legal doctrine that dates to 1914, to let the government invade people's homes.

Award-Winning Veggie Burger Recipes

Yeah!

This one looks yummie:

Spicy Mexican Bean Burger yield: 8 - 10 burgers

16 ounce can of red kidney beans, drained and mashed

1/2 cup small onion, coarsley chopped

1/2 green pepper, coarsley chopped

1 carrot, steamed and mashed

1/8 cup picante sauce or salsa (spicy or mild to your taste)

1 cup bread crumbs

1/2 cup flour

1 tsp. black pepper (or to taste)

dash of chili powder

Mix all ingredients together. Add more flour to create a firmer mixture, or more salsa if mixture is too stiff. Form into balls and smash into patties. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until firm, brown and done. Serve on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and salsa. Accompany with tortilla chips and a large glass of iced tea. These can be grilled or pressed in those new-fangled sandwich presses... a lot quicker and tastier than baking. [Author's note: "When I studied in England for a semester, I fell in love with Wimpy's Spicey Mexican Bean Burgers. Upon returning to the states, I struggled to recreate this burger. This is what I've come up with."]

(Note: We cut back black pepper to 1/2 tsp. Although unspecified, we used whole wheat flour. We made these a second time, adding 1/2 tsp. of salt. Many of us preferred them this way.)

Amnesty

An aide to the Iraqi Prime Minister said that they were considering limited amnesty including guerillas who had attacked U.S. troops.

He has since resigned.

Atrios makes the following comment: "You know, it's actually the case that the way to deal with an insurgency is with a political, not a military, process, but I really don't know how Republicans seamlessly slip from kill'em all to hug'em all."

This is something where I actually agree with what many Republicans are saying - that it might be a good idea. But I am confused. Since when would Republicans go for such an idea? And I wonder where the pressure came from to get him to step down. Was it the WH?

Speaking of the situation in Iraq, it is a telling fact of the situation on the ground when Bush flies in to meet the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister hears about it 5 minutes before Bush arrives. 5 minutes.

Democrats Closing Fundraising Gap With Republicans

It's seen as a very competitive election, and the Republicans are very concerned and the Democrats are optimistic," said Trevor Potter, a former Republican-appointed FEC chairman. "Some money is shifting to what is seen as a possibility of a Democratic win. By and large, people don't give to losers.

If he is suggesting that money buys elections, I would imagine that it is a probably a very powerful causal mechanism (more chance to influence) but apparently on a macro level, the correlation is not so clear, which means that there are other mechanisms (ideology, current president, etc) that combined block or inhibit the influence of the money. No particular reason for saying all of this other than, it was interesting to me to look into it.

A reason to be democrat

Will the GOP's bluster about gays and flags drown out the Democrats' call for a new energy policy?

As GOP leaders bluster about gay marriage, flag burning and the "death tax," Democrats are struggling to get a word in edgewise about the bevy of proposals they've been drafting to address more substantive national concerns -- namely soaring gas prices, dependence on oil from an increasingly volatile Middle East, and global warming. These are among the hot-button election-year issues that Republicans are trying to dodge by throwing red meat to their right-wing base.

This current incarnation of republicans (well, most of them it seems, and especially the WH) are not interested in good policy, that we have known for a while, but instead is about the politics of polarization.

Al and global warming

Did Al get the science right? - "The usual oil industry flacks and dogmatic skeptics have surfaced to denounce Al Gore's global warming movie. But climate scientists say that, basically, he got it right."

I have a quesiton. What is it about republicans that make them so resistant to the idea of global warming? I understand the shills who work for oil money sponsored institutes like the Compettive Enterprise Institute, but what is it that makes the rest of resist it so greatly that they are can possibly be so incredibly moronic. Is it a general skepticism of science? And if it is, why do web sites (like the one linked to above always say something like 'the facts are on your side'?) Is it the conservative desire not to maintain the status quo so that they can not process data (or ideas) that might otherwise force change?

Why do they think that scientists say there is global warming caused by humans? What would possibly motivate a scientist to say that other than the fact that they believe it? Its not like mother earth has been making winfall profits lately and is running several por-earth institutes...

Is it simply lack of knowledge? The shills have muddied the discourse enough that people actually think it is something that is so up in the air, and so small of a risk, and then that combined with a general conservativism menas... lets keep our SUVs and gas cheap? Maintain our American way of life? I don't get it. Someone needs to figure this out then maybe we can tackle this problem.

The rules are so draconian they could shut down registration drives in Ohio.

Google, now perhaps a little better at of doing no evil

E-Commerce News: Global : Google Says It May Revisit China Censorship Policies

Search giant Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Latest News about Google may seek to alter terms of the agreement it made in order to conduct its Web search business in China. Google co-founder Sergey Brin suggested the move after admitting the company's decision to agree to censorship conflicts with its philosophy and famous "do no evil" motto.

Brin has acknowledged in the past that Google's deal with China's communist government to censor certain search terms "wasn't what we ideally would like." However, the company has said that the opportunity to do business in China was too great to ignore, and argued that having a presence there could, over time, lead to more openness and free speech.

On Tuesday, Brin went a step further, saying the company may even reverse its earlier decision to agree to the censorship.

"We felt that perhaps we could compromise our principles but provide ultimately more information for the Chinese and be a more effective service and perhaps make more of a difference," Brin said. "Perhaps now the principled approach makes more sense."

Wealthy can buy organ priority

Becuase Paris Hilton really deserves that kidney

Taxpayers spend millions of dollars a year to subsidize an organ transplant policy that gives well-to-do recipients an advantage over the poor.

Critics say the policy violates medical ethics by skewing a system that is supposed to be equitable. It’s especially galling, they say, because publicly funded Medicare pays for 70 percent of U.S. kidney transplants, the most common transplant operation.

Others, however, say the policy provides freedom of choice to patients who, their lives at stake, deserve any opportunity they can take to find an organ.

Peru Election

Garcia win in Peru a loss for Venezuela's Chavez

Talk about a bad set of choices... Instead of going with the Chavez backed unknown and unpredictable Humala, they went with the guy who practically bankrupted the country.

García's come-from-behind victory in the runoff caps a long road to political rehabilitation that began when he left office in 1990 with only 7 percent support after presiding over what was by all accounts one of the worst administrations in modern Peruvian history.

During García's first presidency, economic collapse spawned political violence at the hands of two guerrilla groups and fueled a drug-trafficking boom.

He spent most of the 1990s out of the country, living in political exile in Colombia and France after his successor, Alberto Fujimori, tried to have him arrested on corruption charges. He returned to Peru in 2001, narrowly losing the presidency then to Alejandro Toledo.

although, this would be a good sign:

In the meantime he adopted the more moderate center-left tendency that has swept through South America in recent years. He sees himself cut from the same cloth as Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Chile's Michelle Bachelet.

Here's hoping.
