...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...

Best of all, Maglev Wind Turbine of Sierra Vista, AZ promises a one year return on investment.The prospect of a single wind tower generating far more energy than an entire wind farm, which many...
