...receiver clip for the nano. The pebble measures the impact of each footfall, and the acceleration between your steps to determine your distance. While the system is good at guesstimating distances, it's not perfect. When my wife and I tested it, it tended to say we went a tad farther than we really did. Serious runners should calibrate it to their stride. To do this, you go to a place where you know an exact distance (Apple suggests a school track), and follow simple instructions under the Calibrate menu item...
...tad political. But politicizing? You can't politicize a war--because wars are political to begin with. Political leaders decide to fight them; elections determine what course they take or if they are fought at all. And Republicans have used harsh pictures in advertising too. The 2004 Bush campaign used images from the World Trade Center, including firefighters carrying off a flag-draped body--and was criticized for it by the Kerry campaign.

...India is a developing country, and this can shake the confidence of even the most cavalier patient. First-class hotels are in short supply. Beyond that, the country's crumbling infrastructure and shocking income disparities--children pick through the garbage outside Steinard's hospital--make medical tourism seem a tad too adventurous for many. And for the litigious minded, good luck. The country's malpractice laws limit damage awards, one of many reasons that health care in India is cheaper...
