...great to enact, but they criminalize something vital in a democracy: the right to be wrong. Let's say you chop off my arm because I'm gay. I would hope you go to prison for a long time, but should your sentence be even longer just because I sleep with guys and you disapprove? Don't people have a First Amendment right to disapprove? When did the U.S. government get into the business of criminalizing people's thoughts...
...baby's room can lower the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) 72%. By circulating air, fans may prevent infants from breathing in exhaled carbon dioxide, a possible cause of SIDS. Infants still need to be placed on their backs when being put to sleep: that practice has helped cut in half the number of SIDS deaths since...
...question is whether this group - which always talks an idealistic game but tends to sleep in on election day - has gotten more serious about actually turning out to vote. More than 150,000 voters under age 30 voted in Florida's Democratic primary this year, despite the fact that Obama didn't even campaign there because the national party had ruled the election wouldn't count. (That was due to Florida changing its primary date in violation of both GOP and Democratic Party rules). Almost 135,000 in that age group voted in the state's Republican primary. Those figures...
...Western Europe shares many characteristics with the United States, so its upcoming path will be a challenging one. But when it comes to poor countries, they are more likely to lose sleep over the rising food and other commodity prices than to suffer directly because of the evaporation of some companies in America. In fact, when America’s consumption slows down, the upward pressure on prices of scarce commodities will dwindle. Foreign countries will surely welcome appropriate restructuring of the U.S. economy (American shoppers make growth much easier in a number of countries), but they are not standing...
...babies who died from SIDS and those who died from other causes. Researchers found that SIDS babies often have a brain defect in a region of the brain that controls breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. The abnormality appears to weaken the responsiveness of certain functions, including arousal from sleep when the body fails to get enough oxygen. Researchers think the defect may be genetic in origin, although there are no biological tests yet to determine risk...
