Wired News: Is AM Radio Harmful
Wired News: Is AM Radio Harmful: "Korean scientists have found that regions near AM radio-broadcasting towers had 70 percent more leukemia deaths than those without. The study to be published in an upcoming issue of the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health also found that cancer deaths were 29 percent higher near such transmitters. "
Korean scientists have found that regions near AM radio-broadcasting towers had 70 percent more leukemia deaths than those without.
The study, to be published in an upcoming issue of the International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, also found that cancer deaths were 29 percent higher near such transmitters.
Two years ago an Italian study found death rates from leukemia increased dramatically for residents living within two miles of Vatican Radio's powerful array of transmitters in Rome.

CivicSpace
Also worth checking out is CivicSpace, the new incarnation of DeanSpace, currently being developed by Civic Space Labs [civicspacelabs.org]. They recently released a free (speech and beer) zipcode database [benstanfield.com], and are building in tools mimicing the "get local" aspects of the Dean campaign along with some really cool GOTV stuff.
forClark.com
Its still active and of the major campaign blogs it kicked major ass. It allowed all registered users to have their own blog, which became a very useful feature for individuals to post and retain community information.
It also didn't moderate (except for particularly egregious postings) by removal of posts. It used the moderation system from kuro5hin.org (and was based on scoop), which let the users moderate posts up and down. It worked pretty well, and the community kept a pretty fair hand in moderating.
When the Clark campaign was in full gear, it was the best of the major campaign blogs, by far. There was and is no comparison. And it formed a nice community that is still actively discussing things today.

OSCOM 4 Program
I'm feeling like its time for a trip. OSCOM 4 seems like a nice companion to Slow Food.

Aspect J moves on...
AspectJ's new eclipse based tools raise the bar for aspect-oriented development. They also hint at the synergy created between the eclipse tools and various interesting, but un-heralded areas of software research and development.
As always, a tutorial is a good idea. The new release uses eclipse 'cheat sheets', another example of the synergy mentioned above.
