Senate Emphasis on Ideology

Has Some in G.O.P. Anxious

 

June 7, 2006
The New York Times
By CARL HULSE

 

WASHINGTON, June 6 — Though some Republican candidates may relish the Senate's current concentration on same-sex marriage and other ideologically charged topics, Senator Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island is not among them.

"It may stir up my primary voters a little bit against me," said Mr. Chafee, a centrist Republican up for re-election. He opposes the push for a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage and is under intense pressure to back a proposed amendment that would forbid flag burning. "I'm collateral damage."

Other Republicans, including some conservatives, say Mr. Chafee may not be the only potential victim of what they see as a misguided effort to appeal to social conservatives by staging votes intended primarily to make a point about the party's values. They say that voters are more concerned about the economy, health care and immigration, and that replaying the marriage debate in particular could do as much damage as good as Republicans fight to retain control of Congress.

"I don't think the problem is primarily with social conservatives," said Pat Toomey, a former Republican House member who now heads the Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee. "The problem I see is with economic conservatives who see out-of-control spending, huge deficits and that Republicans can't make the tax cuts permanent. The problem is on a different field."

Those who doubt the strategy are up against a long-held belief among Republican leaders that highlighting issues like same-sex marriage, flag desecration and abortion speaks to the party's convictions and carries concrete political benefits.

At a free clinic in Philadelphia, Jennifer Brown, 26,

spent a recent lunch hour talking to a counselor

and waiting anxiously for a small white strip

to tell her whether she had the AIDS virus.

Ms. Brown said

she and her partner had stopped using condoms,

and she recently discovered that he had been unfaithful.

"How would you feel

if the results come back positive?"

the counselor asked.

Ms. Brown exhaled.

"I'd have to get on with it," she said.

"I have a daughter."

that has been feverishly documented

in thousands of tabloid headlines.

But yesterday, the gossip and the glamour surrounding

Kylie Minogue's latest, sell-out world tour ground to a halt

after the star announced she had breast cancer.

Triangle.

In geometry, a three-sided plane figure,

the sum of whose interior angles is 180°.

Triangles can be classified

by the relative lengths of their sides.

A scalene triangle has three sides of unequal length.

An isosceles triangle has at least two equal sides;

it has one line of symmetry.

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides

(and three equal angles of 60°);

it has three lines of symmetry.

An equilateral triangle has got 3 sides of equal length

and 3 angles that are equal.

Since ALL the angles in a triangle add up to 180ş

then 180 divided by 3 must be 60ş.

The Pentagon is a symbol, and the WTC is, or was, a symbol, and an American passenger jet is also a symbol - of indigenous mobility and zest, and of the galaxy of glittering destinations. The bringers of Tuesday's terror were morally "barbaric", inexpiably so, but they brought a demented sophistication to their work. They took these great American artefacts and pestled them to gether. Nor is it at all helpful to describe the attacks as "cowardly". Terror always has its roots in hysteria and psychotic insecurity; still, we should know our enemy. The firefighters were not afraid to die for an idea. But the suicide killers belong in a different psychic category, and their battle effectiveness has, on our side, no equivalent. Clearly, they have contempt for life. Equally clearly, they have contempt for death.

Fear and loathing:
The attack on the United States last Tuesday has brought home to the west two uncomfortable realities -
the ferocious hatred felt for America; and that none of us will ever feel safe again.
So, asks Martin Amis,
where do we go from here?,

Hope is nearly abandoned as far as the revival of the Irish language is concerned. People who believed in the revival have got contempt for the language because the majority of the people are learning the language for nothing else but to get a soft job. There are too many soft jobs because of the Irish language and that is what is killing Irish and its preservation. What I say cannot be disputed. It is a fact but people are too cowardly to say those things. They are too afraid to say them. Nothing has been done for the preservation of the Irish language.

Thousands of lives a year could be saved by a revolutionary new test that can detect most common forms of cancer before there are even any symptoms.

The cheap test, based on a simple blood sample, can find cancers as soon as they start forming and has been described as the 'holy grail' of cancer diagnosis.

Most cancers have no early symptoms, and are only diagnosed after it is too late to treat them effectively. The new DR-70 test offering early detection makes successful treatment far more likely.

(...)

However, the test does have some drawbacks. It may miss some cancers. It also only shows that the patient has cancer, not which type it is. If the result is positive, then further tests must be done to identify where the cancer is and what form it has. There is also the danger that the test may produce false positive results, raising the false alarm that someone has cancer.

(...)

Gary Dreher, chief executive of AMDL, claimed that the test should be used for annual screening. 'Since early diagnosis has many advantages and cancers in their early stages don't show any symptoms, it's just common sense to spend $100-or-so every year or two after you are 30 or 35 to learn whether you have cancer,' he said.

The Guardian has got it wrong

Future of the monarchy

Join the debate online

 

A constitutional monarchy is a form of government

in which a hereditary head of state reigns

but does not rule.

In separating the role of head of state

from that of head of government,

a constitutional monarchy ensures

that the head of state is free from party ties.

This, surely, is of inestimable value in an age

when politics has come to invade

almost every aspect of our national life,

choking all too many activities

in its unnatural embrace.

Since 1997, Tax Freedom Day, the day calculated by economists to be the notional day of the calendar year that you stop paying all taxes and start 'working for yourself' has got later and later. In 1997 it was 27 May, rising to 10 June in 2001 - meaning just over 41 per cent of income on average is spent on taxes. Even in the supposed high 'tax and spend' era of the Seventies the date was 23 May. In the United States it is 27 April and falling.

Life has gotten even shorter

in digital age

 

Technology raises

issues of obsolescence,

data 'rot'

 

By Edward C. Baig
USA TODAY


If Moses had been handed the Ten Commandments on floppy disks,

would word from on high have survived through the ages?

Literal interpretations of the Bible aside, the answer, quite possibly, is no.

In the digital era, consumers worry about the staying power of their sacred possessions. They fret about the permanence of computers and electronics gear. They read about "CD rot," short-lived iPod batteries and pricey plasma TVs with traces of static images "burned into" the display. And they pray that the most prized digital treasures -- family photographs -- will last from one generation to the next.

Sometimes, as with digital TV, the latest gear really is the next big thing. But often a new product merely reflects powerful market forces, like changing styles or planned obsolescence. Businesses require regular turnover to generate profit. Never mind that what exists might not need fixing.

The mother, who didn't live with them and had no exposure to poultry, visited her daughter's bedside where nurses reported seeing them hug and kiss. The mother, who got sick days after the girl died, died almost two weeks later. An autopsy showed the mother tested positive for bird flu.

Meanwhile, the aunt had gotten rid of the chickens days before the girl became ill. Throat swabs later confirmed the aunt also had bird flu. Health investigators believe she could not have caught it from the chickens and conclude she got it from the child.

Last year, bird flu struck 10 Asian countries, killing or forcing the slaughter of more than 120 million birds and causing more than 30 deaths in Thailand and Vietnam.

While analysts believe that most e-commerce sites improved their performance over last year, the glitches at these popular and reputable sites underscore a paradoxical set of circumstances for Internet merchants. They are now better prepared for peak shopping days, but they also manage more complex Internet systems than ever before - some of which involve technologies that are getting long in the tooth.

So while shoppers have gotten happily accustomed to problem-free surfing 11 months of the year, they are being treated once again to a harsh reminder that online retailing is still in its early days.

At the same time, as the percentage of people who are divorced has risen steadily over the past 20 years, society's perception of divorce has changed dramatically, to the point where divorced, childless men and women are considered catches in some circles. The thinking goes as such: Divorced people have demonstrated they're capable of making a commitment; there's no confusion about their sexual orientation; and with their "starter marriages" out of the way, they can concentrate on real, lasting relationships.

It has gotten so that faced with two potential dating choices
— a divorced thirtysomething or a never-married person
of the same age — men and women will often opt for the former.

Why? Single-and-never-married has become synonymous with immature.
