Another study show cell-phone tumor link
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060331/sc_nm/phones_dc_3 researchers at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life said they looked at the mobile phone use of 905 people between the age of 20 and 80 who had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and found a link. A total 85 of these 905 cases were so-called high users of mobile phones, that is they began early to use mobile and, or wireless telephones and used them a lot, the study said. The study also shows that the rise in risk is noticeable for tumors on the side of the head where the phone was said to be used, it added. Kjell Mild, who led the study, said the figures meant that heavy users of mobile phones, for instance of who make mobile phone calls for 2,000 hours or more in their life, had a 240 percent increased risk for a malignant tumor on the side of the head the phone is used. -- The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. -- James Madison ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
U.S. Army Bans Use of Privately Bought Armor
Pop quiz: Which protects you better? A. No Armor B. Shoddy Armor C. Superiour Armor Like the 'Dragon Skin' If you answered A, you would be the U.S. Army: http://my.netscape.com/corewidgets/news/story.psp?cat=51180id=2006033 018170001373988 Soldiers will no longer be allowed to wear body armor other than the protective gear issued by the military, Army officials said Thursday, the latest twist in a running battle over the equipment the Pentagon gives its troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Army officials told The Associated Press that the order was prompted by concerns that soldiers or their families were buying inadequate or untested commercial armor from private companies - including the popular Dragon Skin gear made by California-based Pinnacle Armor. -- The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. -- James Madison ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
