...study, researchers tested 36 volunteers in driving simulators that reflected traffic speeds and conditions on Interstate 15, a major thoroughfare through Salt Lake City. Participants were observed "driving" in medium- and high-density traffic, and were told to obey the 65 mph speed limit and use turn signals; some were allowed to talk on their hands-free phones. The study was designed so that traffic would periodically slow in one lane, while another lane opened up. Researchers found that cell-phone users switched to faster-moving lanes about 20% less frequently than other drivers. They were less adept at keeping...
...McCain also leads the Republican pack in his vocal efforts to find a solution for climate change. While other Republican candidates refuse to acknowledge that human activity has threatened our environment, he has sponsored bills to limit greenhouse gas emissions. In town hall meetings across New Hampshire, he has discussed the need to develop alternate sources of energy. He regularly inspires Republican voters—who might not otherwise give this issue a second thought—to recognize the danger of destroying our generation’s planet and becoming entrenched in dependency on foreign...
...Before Friday night, the Bobcats had netted a total of 16 goals on 91 power-play chances and had averaged better than one shot per man advantage. “Beyond staying out of the box, which would have been our best defense, I think we really wanted to limit the time they had to pick us apart,” said Crimson coach Ted Donato ’91. “I thought our penalty kill was exceptional and gave us a chance to get a point tonight.” Even though Quinnipiac managed to exert some...
...Clinton fund raisers say there is also a new emphasis in the appeals they are getting from the campaign. Where they previously focused on bringing in $4,600 donations - pressing donors to "max out" by giving the legal limit of $2,300 for the primary election and $2,300 for the general - they are now being asked to drum up $2,300 contributions. "They started out running a general election campaign," says one. "Now there's a real fixation on the primary." The day after the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, the campaign staged a "callathon" to encourage smaller contributions...
...anything, it is that Obama, far more than Edwards, has won the change mantle. And while Obama has already raised more than $100 million, Edwards has collected only a third as much. His relative shortage of funds forced him to accept public financing with its $50 million national spending limit in the primaries, a restriction that could severely limit his ability to compete with Obama and Clinton going forward. The problem is not just national; there are state-by-state spending limits for candidates taking federal matching funds. That means that in New Hamsphire, Edwards will be able to spend...
