After an hour or so of training from Jayme, I started to get the hang of moving under my own steam. From a fitness perspective, the Trikke is low impact and feels a bit like an elliptical machine in the gym. It works your legs and upper body. Once you get used to it, it's an enormous amount of fun. I brought the Pon-e home for a week and got confident enough to take it for some pretty good rides around town. My best moment was tailing a tiny electric car, presumably with a smug environmentalist behind...
...Administration officials, require participation by Iran's key trading partners. That's a problem, since neither Russia nor China is convinced that there's an imminent danger of Iran producing nuclear weapons. Coalition of the willing-style sanctions of the sort envisaged by the congressional legislation may have limited impact because they're unlikely to be implemented by neighbors such as Turkey and Iraq.

...recommendations will be issued Aug. 23, officials said. In the meantime, CDC experts are closely monitoring the march of H1N1 through the southern hemisphere, in Australia and in South America as well as in the U.S. So far, data show that the virus is having about the same health impact as seasonal flu, which still causes about 30,000 deaths each year. And, as Sebelius noted, "Typically parents do not keep their children home if their classmates come down with the flu." That's worth remembering this fall, as the school year gets under...
