Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Antivenom Shortages – Cost of Antivenom Production Creates Shortages – Popularmechanics.com<\/a> – Not quite sure of the best answer here. Reduce the need for testing drugs? Compel production from private industry? Get the government into the drug manufacturing realm? Do nothing? All of these have some unfortunate consequences.<\/li>\n
  2. Oil spill on ice not worth the risk | Analysis & Opinion |<\/a> – “We’re the oil companies. Trust us.”<\/li>\n
  3. NBC Cancels \u2018Law & Order\u2019 – Media Decoder Blog – NYTimes.com<\/a> – I’ve never been one to watch the show “live,” but have watched a zillion syndicated episodes, and have a few seasons on DVD. Truly a TV institution.<\/li>\n
  4. Study Pokes Holes in Air Bag Standards – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Who’d have thought that air bags were such a complex topic?<\/li>\n
  5. Cars can be hacked<\/a> – This only makes sense — and is pretty damned scary.<\/li>\n
  6. On their way to getting married, a young couple is involved in a fatal car accident…<\/a> – Ha!<\/li>\n
  7. The difference between Wall Street and school teachers<\/a> – Right. “Classroom teachers” = “educational bureaucracy,” and it’s better to lay off 300K teachers than spend any more money on “taxpayer-funded bailouts.” Got it, Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio).<\/li>\n
  8. A ‘high point’ in government disaster response<\/a> – If there’s anything that both liberals and teapartiers can agree upon, it’s that the feds should take the lead in assisting in disaster response. Another example of how elections change things.<\/li>\n
  9. New Smokeless Smoking Device To Eliminate Second Hand Smoke<\/a> – Assuming they don’t lock it down to a single, overpriced supplier (regionalized!), it’s got potential. And lack of second-hand smoke (and second-hand spit)are all Good Things.<\/li>\n
  10. From a programming textbook<\/a> – Nice. Funny and<\/b> educational.<\/li>\n
  11. Weird Clouds Look Even Better From Space<\/a> – Lovely.<\/li>\n
  12. Beautiful Little Island in a Lake<\/a> – The photographer certainly likes this island, and that’s quite understandable. It has a sort of banzai look to it.<\/li>\n
  13. this post is about sex (…sort of)<\/a> – As someone with a girl just turning 10, consideration how we teach her to be a smart teen-ager (and adult), vs. simply assuming she’ll be stupid because of Evil Cultural Infuences, is certainly timely.<\/li>\n
  14. Hp unlocks printer regionalisation – The Inquirer<\/a> – Another great reason not to buy HP printers. I’m sure their argument is to make sure that their overpriced official ink isn’t being imported in from other areas (unless they’re getting a cut), but how many people would simply curse, shrug, and buy another (HP) printer?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
