I never expected this," said Herman. "I'm honored. I appreciate everything they did for me. Everything."   read more
  • American Voter Dissatisfaction with Two Likely Presidential Nominees Highest in Decades

    Monday, July 11, 2016
    Plumbing the reasons behind the woeful numbers, the Pew researchers found -- no surprise, really -- that this year's presidential contest is widely viewed as being excessively negative with little, if any focus on the concerns of real Americans. Just 27% of voters feel the campaign is "focused on important policy debates." Large numbers of supporters of both Trump and Clinton view their choice as more of a vote against the opposing candidate than an expression of support for their candidate.   read more

"Where are the police going to draw the line when trying to decide between continuing to negotiate and doing something like this?"   read more

  • Computers Auditioning to Replace Humans as Airport Carry-On Luggage Examiners

    Sunday, July 10, 2016
    American will spend $5 million on the changes, said the airline's chief operating officer, Robert Isom, in a letter to employees. He said neither the increased automation nor CT scanners will solve TSA's problems, "but they are both huge steps in the right direction." The use of CT technology at airport checkpoints would eliminate the need for screeners to examine X-ray images of every bag. It could also let travelers leave liquids and laptops in their carry-on bags.   read more

    Sunday, July 10, 2016
    Hornung said that he suffered concussions and subconcussive brain traumas while wearing Riddell's plastic helmets, "supposedly to better protect his head and brain." The helmets provided no brain protection at all, but players "were led to believe that the innovative helmets would do so," Hornung adds. Riddell "knew of the long-term effects of brain traumas sustained by football players while wearing [its] supposed protective equipment," but never warned players that they were in danger.   read more
  • Traffic Fatalities in U.S. Far Worse Than in Other Affluent Countries

    Sunday, July 10, 2016
    The statistics probably reflect that Americans tend to drive more miles and for longer periods, said Dr. Guohua Li. "The more you're on the road, the more you're exposed to the potential for a crash," agreed Erin Sauber-Schatz, lead author of the CDC report. U.S. drivers also more often speed, drive drunk and take other risks, Li said. The U.S. toll went up last year to 35,200, as drivers racked up more miles behind the wheel as a result of an improved economy and lower gas prices.   read more

  • $2 Drug Tests Used in Police Traffic Stops Have Up to 32% Error Rate Leading to 75% Wrongful Convictions

    Saturday, July 09, 2016
    Police arrest more than 1.2 million people a year in the U.S. on charges of illegal drug possession. Field tests help them move quickly from suspicion to conviction. But the kits are far from reliable. The tests seem simple, but a lot can go wrong. Some use a chemical which turns blue when exposed to cocaine. But it also turns blue when exposed to more than 80 other compounds, including certain acne medications and common household cleaners.   read more
  • Obama Administration Accused of Misleading Asylum Seekers

    Saturday, July 09, 2016
    Immigration agents never told them they had to file for asylum within one year after they entered the country, nor did they present a viable path for meeting that deadline. "Plaintiffs' ability to seek asylum has been thwarted by a government process that is anything but fair; indeed, it conflicts with fundamental notions of due process..." the complaint states. The 1996 law created an expedited removal process for undocumented immigrants caught within 100 miles of the border.   read more

That's changed amid the surge of very pricey treatments approved in recent years.   read more

  • Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States: Who Is Carlos Sada?

    Saturday, July 09, 2016
    Sada is certainly aware of his charge to counter the negative statements Trump has made about Mexico. Sada’s predecessor, Miguel Basañez Ebergenyi, had been criticized for his lackluster response to Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexican undocumented immigrants. Consequently, President Enrique Peña Nieto nominated Sada to replace Basañez. “We need to do a more thorough job so that people understand what (Mexico) contributes,” Sada said after being sworn in.   read more
