Right, my first two examples are bogus. I'm just hallucinating when I go to peapod.com and they're selling six different kinds of "fat free" and/or "no calorie" cooking sprays that all consist almost entirely of fat.

All the dozens of other sources on the web that it's easy to Google up who are also complaining about this problem are also hallucinating with me. And the FDA's been allowing this for years despite consumer complaints. Some big companies like Coke, Pepsi, and Kraft are revising their labels voluntarily because of consumer complaints about the misleading labels resulting from the FDA's guidelines.

Can you be more specific as to how this is bogus? Your linked page indicates that the FDA has serving size guidelines for some products. Admittedly, that is part of the problem. But I would think that, for my claims to be bogus, the products I'd mentioned would not be on the market with their lying labels for years, and currently available, despite complaints.

The FDA only suggests serving size information for some foods, and their suggestions are often misleading- like two oz of pasta being a serving. But they don't recommend serving sizes for many foods, and they don't enforce the sizes for foods for which they have guidelines, and their guidelines lead to plenty of misleading labels on their own. But while the serving size guidelines are wishy-washy, they're perfectly clear on the point that if there's less that .5 grams of fat "per serving" in a product, they can call it fat free, regardless of how much fat is in the container.

This has very little to do with your comment, but the L.A. Times recently published an article regarding the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit that focused on their fight against child pornography ("Sifting Clues to an Unsmiling Girl"). They are the law enforcement organization that photoshopped the victims out of child porn photos in order to get the public's assistance in identifying the backgrounds (it worked). In any case, the article had this amazing claim:

On one wall is a "Star Trek" poster with investigators' faces substituted for the Starship Enterprise crew. But even that alludes to a dark fact of their work: All but one of the offenders they have arrested in the last four years was a hard-core Trekkie.

Wow. All but one in four years. Seemed rather unlikely to me.

So, I called the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit and spoke to Det. Ian Lamond, who was familiar with the Times article. He claims they were misquoted, or if that figure was given it was done so jokingly. Of course, even if the figure was given jokingly, shouldn't the Times reporter have clarified something that seems rather odd? Shouldn't her editors have questioned her sources?

Nevertheless, Det. Lamond does confirm that a majority of those arrested show "at least a passing interest in Star Trek, if not a strong interest." They've arrested well over one hundred people over the past four years and they can gauge this interest in Star Trek by the arrestees' "paraphenalia, books, videotapes and DVDs."

Det. Constable Warren Bulmer slips on a Klingon sash and shield they confiscated in a recent raid. "It has something to do with a fantasy world where mutants and monsters have power and where the usual rules don't apply," Bulmer reflects. "But beyond that, I can't really explain it."

I asked Det. Lamond if this wasn't simply a general interest in science fiction and fantasy, such as Star Wars or Harry Potter or similar. Paraphrasing his answer, he said, while there was sometimes other science fiction and fantasy paraphenalia, Star Trek was the most consistent and when he referred to a majority of the arrestees being Star Trek fans, it was Star Trek-specific.

There was a lot of this going on the winter of 2004/2005. I remember 6 times I could feel a tingling in my legs while standing in the vicinity of a man hole. Usually in older sections of Boston that had recently been gentrified.

An N-Star line man I know told me the problem happens because demand exceeds the pace they can upgrade the circuits. The oldest circuits in the grid could not handle the load and the insulators would begin to break down. He said they were prioritizing upgrades by Ground Fault reports, then statistical analysis, then business outage complaints.

I thought the statistical analysis was a rather cool approach. He sad they identified high risk circuits by looking for statistical anomalies in the billing database. Specifically, where a circuit load exceeded the total customer usage.

Yes, and so far the investigation appears to be indicating that:

1) It was an openly-known thing to the entire Washington press core before Bush took office.
2) She wasn't undercover.


Pretty amusing how the two points in your rebuttal contradict each other. If she wasn't undercover, how could it have been an openly-known thing to the entire Washington press corps that she was?

(By the way, she was undercover...please read here for details.)

If it was so openly-known, why does the evidence point strongly enough to Lewis Libby to indict him on five felony counts?

Next time you construct an argument, try to make it a little less self-contradictory and a little more factual.

But, if the NYT wants to use digital news (and news archives) as a revenue stream, they will need to (eventually) digitalize their entire news archives, not just for the previous year.

Oops. Deeper link to actual story.

Not so stupid.

A couple of months ago a guy in rural San Diego did exactly that and nabbed some identity thieves stealing folk's mail from their mailboxes at night. Here's the story from the San Diego Union Tribune:

http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sandiego/

Be careful what you ask for. Established reviewers of orchestral performances tend to not like performances of new music. They are usually people that have graduate degrees in classical music, and usually know the peice(s) being performed inside-out. That way, they can really tell whether the orchestra gave a good performance or not. But if it's music they don't know, it puts them out of their comfort zone and they are more likely to give it a negative review. It doesn't always happen that way, though!

That said, I was able to find that there was a review in the Chicago Tribune on 21 February, on the front page if I'm not mistaken, but the Tribune web site only has an article summary unless you are willing to pay. Go here.

This quote evolved from a NYT interview with Einstein in 1919. The NYT sent its golf correspondent who made stuff up in his story, and these exaggerations made it in the headline of the article itself. I quote Bill Bryson in "A Short History of Nearly Everything" (who in turn is quoting David Bodanis in "E=mc squared" (both of which I recommend...)

"Almost at once his theories of relativity developed a reputation for being impossible for an ordinary person to grasp. Matters were not helped... when the New York Times decided to do a story, and -- for reasons that can never fail to excite wonder -- sent the paper's golfing correspondent, one Henry Crouch, to conduct the interview.

Crouch was hopelessly out of his depth, and got nearly everything wrong. Among the more lasting errors in his report was the assertion that Einstein had found a publisher daring enough to publish a book that only twelve men 'in all the world could comprehend'. There was no such book, no such publisher, no such circle of learned men, but the notion stuck anyway. Soon the number of people who could grasp relativity had been reduced even further in the popular imagination -- and the scientific establishment, in must be said, did little to disturb the myth." [He then mentions Eddington's "I'm trying to think of the third person" quote.]

Here's the link to the original 1919 NYT article. (yes, you have to pay, but you can see the headline for free...)

Also, here's

dont forget we also heard about the McDonalds Billion Song Gveaway from the upstanding NY Post. Not to mention that in the past year we also heard that Apple was about to buy Universal Music. I call BS on this.

The GTA series is obviously a gritty, crime-themed bunch of computer games. I'd be interested as to whether the NY Post (mouthpiece for Rupert Murdoch, the upstanding champion of media integrity and wholesome entertainment) thinks that the Godfather films ought to be banned outright. After all, they're violent, and even contain some very racist dialogue in a scene involving a potential drug deal.

My bet is that most reasonable people (a category which excludes the staff of the New York Post, unfortunately) wouldn't say we should expunge one of our nation's classic cinematic masterpeices from the record just because it deals in some very dark and violent themes. Of course, parents have a right and, I think we can agree in this case a responsibility, to sheild their children from very violent entertainment until they see fit, but people need to face facts: we're never going to have a G-rated society. People know that in GTA, you play a bad guy, and they know that bad guys do bad things. Playing Vice City didn't make me want to go out and kill any Haitians (I imagine that might distress my Haitian friends and, incidently, the out-of-context quote refers to a pitched battle between rival Haitian and Cuban gangs), it didn't make me want to deal cocaine, and it only gave me a slight desire to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Anyone who is young or stupid enough to have a video game seriously wound their moral sensibilities has parents for a reason. And as for those teenagers who took potshots at passing vehicles, supposedly in imitation of the game, does anyone really think that they didn't possess some violent and dangerous tendencies to begin with? If they'd never set eyes on a PS2, would we have never heard of their exploits? My hunch is no.

Sorry, New York Post, but I think that most people are just too smart to give in to your impulse to crush the competition when it comes to glorifying mass murder. It's just a game, get over it.

This is fairly old news. I remember reading about these devices in the Chicago Tribune over a year ago. There is a little more info here. I don't know what the current status of it is in Illinois, though. Hell, Chicago cops will take you out and beat you for a lot less, so use at your own risk.

Does anyone rember in the early 90's(april 13 1992) when the Chicago freight tunnel was breached by a piling in the Chicago River?

You can read more about this here Sorry didn't find a free source.

At the time i was working as a researcher for a lan surveying company (No we wern't involved in the accident) and my job was to find these records so accidents like this didn't happen.

ok, so maybe the word "endorsed" is a tad bit strong and I apologize if the judges ruling has left me a bit exuberant, but the recording industry has in fact stated that apples music service is an ideal and promising solution. The original article is lost to the archives at the latimes.com but can be referenced however the full transcript costs $$ at this time.

So while you are correct in saying that no "official endorsement" exists, the prevailing attitude being shown publicly towards apples venture is positive and does express interest in it's future.

As opposed to the crap they dump into the bay every time it rains hard?

This happened last month in the New York area. Crashed through some woman's house. I read it in the NY Post, featuring pictures of the ice chunk. Check it out.

Since the airlines use some kind of blue dye in their toilets the ice was blue, which I'd imagine prevents me from pissing in a coffee can, freezing it and asking the airlines for money.

I seem to recall the article (sorry, the above link is only a free preview) mentioning that airlines "weren't supposed to do this until they got out over open water" (paraphrasing). As if it was standard operating procedure to eject the holding tanks out in the middle of nowhere in the ocean; who knows, maybe on a 747 doing the Kennedy to Johannesburg route you *have* to eject the crap at some point to avoid overflowing tanks.

Funny, I was saying the same thing not too long ago when the same Tampa Police department was doing the bidding of the GOP by creating a "First Amendment Zone" when Bu$h came to town and spoke at a public event. This is also the same police department that at the above said event, injured 1 and arrested 2 elderly citizens because their protest signs were a "security risk".

I agree.

No, of course all people with access to the video tapes will never do anything unethical with them. Just like people who work in film labs never make copies of the most interesting photos to show at parties. for instance.

I think part of the problem is that local media gives balanced reporting and thoughtful analysis of the problem, but as you go further away it becomes distilled, more cartoonlike, with the absurdity of the national news being the complete opposite of the local media and stimulating copycats - note the dispersion of the copycats after Columbine and Santana.

The local San Diego paper has had some pretty decent coverage, like this.

Searching uniontribune.com archives for things like Santana AND Granite Hills AND shooting, brings up a lot more (that is, when the search engine isn't broke - try a different set of dates).

Morbid humor is a healthy response to disasters. This is a yahaddabethere, but some people see the humor:

12:55 PM: shooting at Granite Hills.

1:30 PM: coworkers with kids there already out the door.

2:40 PM: I'm in the vanpool, news station droning on as they do when they don't have any new information, no one can find the police captain for the 2:30 news conference, bladdy-bladdy-blah. Driver finally punches the FM button to get away from it. I hear the first three notes, instantly name that tune, and sing out:

MY GUN BE JAMMIN'!

(nervous giggles from vanpool)

And Bob Marley replies: I wanna jam it wid you! We're jammin'!

Gales of laughter from vanpool, taking several minutes to die away completely.

Hey, even the police get pissed off about getting caught by cameras! Mod this link up: union-trib story about red-light cameras
