Republican Representative Richard Pombo of California, chairman of the Resources Committee, says, "There is already an incentive to develop new technology. You just have to send a real clear signal that the Federal Government wants to." But a wholesale push to change our highway culture is unlikely. European countries decided long ago that it paid off to interfere in the free market by discouraging oil consumption and subsidizing mass transit...

"I often spend eight hours searching for one interesting thing. A couple of years ago, I didn't even know what cool hunting was. Now it's my life...
...language and measures,” Blumenthal said. “[We’re] try[ing] to translate standards into measurement tools.” The contract comes on the heels of a number of multi-million dollar awards granted to private non-profit corporations from HHS to develop standards, regulations, and measurements for emergent health IT. The term health IT broadly refers to the development and use of electronic medical records. But Rosenbaum said it is more complicated than the term suggests. “[It’s] more than simply saying...
