How to baby-proof a disaster zone | Health Tech - CNET News

How to baby-proof a disaster zone | Health Tech - CNET News: "Smart Baby Case comes equipped with a removable door to protect the infant's lungs in the event of disaster conditions such as air pollution or chemical warfare. The safety doors even shut automatically when air pressure is too low.
Then there is the communication unit and LED screen, enabling parents and babies to affectionately exchange gazes and noises without ever having to exchange germs. The LED screen continuously monitors air quality inside the pod via an orange light.
Within the pod is an auto-rocking unit, so you can rock your baby to sleep without ever having to actually rock your baby to sleep. There is even an auto diaper around the bottom of the baby seat that is sensitive to moisture, flushing away waste through tubes to a waste storage unit at the front of the case."

Campaign For Liberty — Affirmative Action

Campaign For Liberty — Affirmative Action: "In fact, I reject the whole notion of group rights and group responsibilities - we are not a flock of geese. I believe that each individual person has been endowed by their Creator with a unique set of talents and potentials, rights and responsibilities."

"[Affirmative Action] assumes that Martin Luther King and Rodney King are cut from the same cloth; that Nancy Pelosi and Nancy Reagan are one."

"50 years of Affirmative Action is enough. If it has worked, it should no longer be necessary; if it has failed, it should no longer be desirable. In either case, it should no longer be."

Political Mailing Lists: Rep. Kitty Rhoades eUpdate. November 20, 2009.: "The “public option” would provide very limited coverage, with premiums not to exceed $100 per month. How can it be so cheap?� Easy, the “public option” does not have to meet the laws forced on private insurance. Wisconsin law mandates that private insurance must cover certain procedures, procedures that the Basic plan does not cover. The fact is that there is no way for private insurance to ever compete against the proposed Basic plan because it would be illegal! �

For example, if a young man wanted to purchase health insurance in Wisconsin, state law requires that his policy cover mammograms.� He could not purchase a “bare-bones” plan that only provided catastrophic coverage.� His policy would have all state mandates (including mammogram coverage) that applied to an individual policy.�

However, under the new Basic plan, the state is essentially disregarding the law and offering a bare-bones policy that can not be purchased in the private insurance market. Going back to our example, if the young man purchased this new basic plan, he would not be paying for mandated mammogram coverage that he would pay for in the private insurance market.�"

This Land Is Your Land - funny extra verse

This Land Is Your Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said 'No Trespassing.'
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me."
