...decision certainly suggests continuing ineptitude by personnel apparently ill-equipped to handle the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle they were sucked into a year ago. After all, it was less than six months ago that County Sheriff John Stone got into trouble for screening for TIME magazine reporter Tim Roche the tapes that Columbine killers Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris made prior to their deadly rampage. After a description of the tapes was published in TIME (parent, of course, of this web site), Stone denied that he gave Roche permission to describe what he saw. Roche says...
...Cambridge, the problem is even more acute than at Harvard. Alarm calls now make up more than half of the Cambridge Police Department's Priority One calls. Less than two percent of the calls uncover any criminal activity...
...most important and immediate things we can do is drive fuel-efficient, high-gas-mileage cars--cars that have fewer toxic emissions and produce less carbon dioxide, the main culprit behind global warming. Hybrid cars, which have both electric motors and gasoline engines, are coming to the market. Using public transportation and carpooling are ways that people can reduce fuel consumption as well...
...models just up the road. As important as the type of power used will be the materials and the overall design. By 2010, he predicts, steel will be largely replaced by tough carbon fibers embedded in resin, called composites--the same stuff used in skis and racing cars. Weighing less than half as much as today's models--and more aerodynamically designed--advanced cars will be much more fuel efficient. Current models expend about one-third of their power just cutting through the air. In the future, underbodies will be smooth. Headlights and windshield wipers will fit seamlessly into...
...preventing it from meeting its major goal. Unlike the adult justice system, which has the simultaneous aims of punishing and rehabilitating convicted criminals, the juvenile system was established with the sole goal of rehabilitation. And it's no secret that incarceration - particularly in the adult prison system - is less likely to be rehabilitative than alternative punishments, such as drug treatment and group therapy. This study suggests that wayward minority youths, particularly African-Americans, are given less of a chance at rehabilitation than similarly situated whites...
