"The energy bill now before the Senate, far from being any kind of solution to our economic and environmental crises, represents exactly the kind of thinking and legislating that has brought us to the point of crisis in the first place," says Brezenoff.

Every year high school students in California volunteer to work at the polls at elections. In order to work at the polls they have to miss a day of school. As a result the school's ADA (average daily attendance) drops and they loose hundreds of dollars of funding. Working at the polls at elections is a very unique experience. Students get to have a hands on participation in democracy, which is easily as valuable or more valuable than teacher's lecture or reading a chapter out of a text book. Students at schools that cannot afford to loose the funding loose this important educational experience. In 2004 a group of students at Acalanes high school in Lafayette took the initiative to write and advocate a bill (AB 1944 (Hancock)) that would allow students to miss a day of school to work at the polls without the school's ADA being affected. The bill passed through senate and legislature and got to Governor Schwarzenegger's desk. The governor vetoed the bill. Last year some more students decided to give this bill another shot. They found a senator to write and fund it and got it all the way through senate and legislature, and now it is again on the governor's desk waiting for him to sign it into law or veto it.

Q Did the President watch President Ahmadinejad's speech last night? MR. SNOW: No. Q He didn't. Has he been briefed on it? Does he have any reaction? MR. SNOW: He's been briefed on it and his reaction was that we've been pretty clear on conditions for meeting with and talking with the Iranians -- which is to suspend the enrichment and reprocessing related activities and come to the table. There are a whole variety of benefits we want to make available to them, but we're not going to engage on specific points in his speech.

If a proposed new Rule of Professional Conduct is endorsed by the State Bar Board of Governors, attorneys will be required to notify their clients if they do not carry malpractice insurance. Also under consideration is a new Rule of Court that would require attorneys to certify to the bar whether they are covered by insurance. The bar would then have to make publicly available the names of attorneys who are not insured. The recommendations, proposed by a task force appointed by former bar President John Van de Kamp, were sent out for public comment last month. Both proposed rules require California Supreme Court approval.

16 international psychiatric drug warnings have been issued in the last year, following the October 2004 FDA "black box" suicide label warnings on all antidepressants prescribed to under 18-year-olds. The Commission of the European Communities, representing 25 countries subsequently issued even stronger warnings, that antidepressants should not be prescribed to under 18-year-olds due to the drugs causing suicide and hostility.

Trent Lott Alleged to be Racist In His Own Family

There may be a lot more to the Lott story.
A niece of Trent Lott once said that he was opposed to her marriage to a man of Hispanic descent because he was a Hispanic. The husband was a soldier in the U.S. Army.
While there is no way to independently verify the above claims, there is no reason to disbelieve her.
If the above statements are true, it is cause for very serious concern, because Lott holds one of most preeminent political positions in the country.
