- NASCAR has drawn the ire of fans again, and this time it wasn't a spontaneous rule change or a popular driver "getting away'' with one. The sanctioning body has been contributing to the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/ PUSH Coalition, a group that isn't popular with NASCAR's core fan base. Actually, NASCAR has been contributing to Jackson's committees for at least a few years, public records show. But the relationship was only recently brought to light by a political entity opposed... |

- Doctors' leaders today branded the government's global recruitment campaign to boost doctor numbers a failure after it emerged that only 250 staff had been recruited in two years. Only 161 consultants and 89 GPs from overseas have been employed. The British Medical Association (BMA) said: "Figures for doctors recruited from abroad are frankly disappointing. "At a time of severe shortage of GPs, the 89 extra doctors from overseas will not make much of a dent in the... |

- Thanks to Common Sense and Wonder and OTB for this one to add to the Language Police category: The term "brainstorming" has become the latest target of political correctness, according to a charity. Trainee teachers are being told to avoid the word for fear of offending pupils with epilepsy. Instead they are being advised to use "word storm" or "thought shower". However, charities working with epilepsy say "brainstorming" is not... |

- New York University professor Diane Ravitch book "The Language Police" has some words of warning for the non-politically correct Americans, in other words, the majority: Be careful with your use of the word "American," which even now is disappearing from certain texts. Unless you are referring to everyone in North, South or Central America, you are displaying geographic chauvinism. When referring to a person of the United States, try replacing "American"... |

- Well I had to go for a war stroll... consume.net suggested there was a potential open access node just two streets away, so I got MacStumbler running, slung the laptop under the pram and took my youngest son for a walk. I did toy with the idea of ditching the baby and just taking the iBook for a walk, but then I couldn't face what that would say about me, and my addiction to technology. |

- Hi, Just found the site and thought I'd fill people in on my wardriving :-) Took a journey down the M6 from my home in Preston to visit relatives in St. Helens and Wigan and I thought I'd give some info on the AP's I found, around 41 in total! I'll add that this was my regular journey and I didn't deviate just to fish for WiFi. |
