Geemarc DECT poster campaign using children

The Sutton Coldfield Observer are running a story today about two local young boys age 4 and 8. The boys are to be used as the faces to promote the new mobile DECT football phones throughout the UK for Geemarc. I spoke to the sales manager Jacqui MacKinnon from Geemarc today, she said she was completely unaware with regards to health concerns from using DECT phones and would appreciate any research to show the dangers, I would be most grateful if anyone could provide her with research that is currently available, she is also interested in receiving information about the German DECT phone which is now available and does not give out radiation from the base station, contact Jacqui at Jacqui@geemarc.com .

Take a look at the website http://www.geemarc.com and also read the news story about Tony Blair ‘poster boy’. I believe Geemarc’s intentions are good; however they need the research to show it might not be sensible to promote DECT phones especially to children. We need to give them the information and the chance to reconsider the poster campaign using two young boys, please help!

MOBILE FACE OF FOOTBALL

Two football-mad Sutton Coldfield brothers are over the moon after being signed up as the faces of a national campaign to launch a new phone in time for the World Cup. Tom and Elliot White, aged eight and four, from Boldmere, have been chosen to star in the launch of Geemarc’s Football DECT phone this month.

Geemarc UK sales manager Jacqui MacKinnon said the boys, who attend Boldmere Junior School, had been selected for their big smiles and love of football.

She added: “We wanted to have fun photos which really showcase the new phone’s appeal to children and were looking for true football fans.

“When we spotted Tom and Elliot and heard they were not only big fans of Aston Villa but also England, we knew we had the right boys.”

The pictures of the boys will be used as part of a campaign to promote the phone – which is cordless and has a St George design – across the UK.

Hamdan: Not Over Yet

A Loss for Competitive Elections

"Instead of standing up for a fair electoral landscape, the Supreme Court produced a ruling that did little to ensure the vibrancy of American democracy, and that itself had an unfortunate whiff of partisanship," writes the New York Times Editorial Board.

A President Rebuked

"The only surviving World War II veteran on the Supreme Court, Justice John Paul Stevens, appointed three decades ago by a president as Republican as W., delivered the plain and airtight message: President Bush violated every standard of the military code, the US Constitution and international law with its order for military tribunals at Guantanamo," writes Bruce Shapiro.

Gitmo Ruling Blow to Expanding Presidential Power

President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney spent much of their first term bypassing Congress in the service of what they labeled a "different kind of war." Now they will almost certainly plunge into negotiations they previously spurned over the extent of the president's powers, this time in the midst of a midterm election in which Bush's wartime strategies and their consequences have emerged as a potent issue.

Anreiz für Entlassungen?

Unternehmenssteuerkonzept soll offenbar vor hochprofitable Konzerne entlasten (30.06.06)

Das Unternehmenssteuerkonzept von Bundesfinanzminister Peer Steinbrück (SPD) entlastet offenbar vor allem Unternehmen mit hoher Eigenkapitalrendite. Eine große Kapitalgesellschaft, die auf 100 Millionen Euro Eigenkapital eine Rendite von 20 Prozent erzielt, könne knapp eine Million Euro Steuern sparen, berichtete das "Handelsblatt" unter Berufung auf Berechnungen des arbeitgebernahen Instituts der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW). Das selbe Unternehmen müsste jedoch bei einer nur fünfprozentigen Eigenkapitalrendite gut 400.000 Euro mehr an den Fiskus abführen. Insofern könnte die Unternehmensbesteuerung künftig möglicherweise einen starken Anreiz dafür darstellen, durch Entlassungen Kosten zu sparen, um die Eigenkapital-Rendite zu steigern.

Did Bush Commit War Crimes?

Rosa Brooks points out, "The Supreme Court on Thursday dealt the Bush administration a stinging rebuke, declaring in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld that military commissions for trying terrorist suspects violate both US military law and the Geneva Convention. But the real blockbuster in the Hamdan decision is the court's holding that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention applies to the conflict with al-Qaeda - a holding that makes high-ranking Bush administration officials potentially subject to prosecution under the federal War Crimes Act."

Hands-free car phones are 'as dangerous as drink-driving'

James Randerson,
science correspondent
Friday June 30, 2006
The Guardian

Using a hands-free kit while at the wheel is as dangerous as drink driving, according to a study of volunteers in a driving simulator. The researchers conclude that all mobile phone use while driving should be banned.

"Just like you put yourself and other people at risk when you drive drunk, you put yourself and others at risk when you use a cellphone and drive. The level of impairment is very similar," said the report's lead author, David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah.

The researchers studied the driving skills of 40 volunteers who followed a virtual car in a driving simulator which was programmed to brake at random.

Each of the volunteers performed the task four times: without distractions, while using a handheld phone, while speaking on a hands-free kit and after downing enough vodka to put them just over the drink-driving limit.

As in previous studies, the researchers found that talking into the phone, whether hands-free or hand-held, impaired their driving. Drivers were 9% slower hitting the brakes, 24% more variable in the distance they kept behind the lead car and 19% slower resuming their normal speed. Their impairment was similar to that when they drove drunk.

Proposed new legislation which is passing through parliament will mean that drivers caught using a hand-held phone will receive three points on their licence. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents welcomed the move. "We hope that will give the law new teeth," he said.

The society had wanted hands-free kits to be included from the start, he added, although he conceded that this would be difficult to enforce.

"We want people to take the law very seriously," said a spokesman for the Department for Transport. "We don't want people to lose their licence, we want them to hang up."

He said there were no plans to extend the law to cover hands-free kits, but added that users who became distracted and caused an accident risked other penalties. "Don't think you are above the law because you are using hands-free."

Another study, carried out by researchers at the University of Michigan Transport Research Institute, which involved observing 36 drivers covering more than 80,000 miles on the road, found that speaking to passengers could be as distracting as talking on a mobile. Drivers nattering to the person next to them strayed further from the centre of their lane, for example.

Although less research has been done on the effects of distracting passengers, the result goes against conventional wisdom. Researchers had assumed that passengers would be more likely to keep quiet at difficult driving moments.

Power of the pen

The American Conservative
by James Bovard

for publication 07/17/06

The 'signing statement' gambit for stretching presidential power was hatched during the Reagan administration. Attorney General Ed Meese instructed Samuel Alito, then a Justice Department lawyer, to analyze how such presidential assertions could buttress the administration's viewpoints in court. But Alito was a piker compared to George W. Bush. Alito declared that the Justice Department should 'concentrate on points of true ambiguity, rather than issuing interpretations that may seem to conflict with those of Congress.' Bush, on the other hand, has used signing statements to negate the most important parts of legislation. According to the Bush administration, if the president issues a signing statement memo that is printed in the Federal Register, federal agencies are not obliged to obey laws enacted by Congress...

The mysterious murder of the electric car

AlterNet
by Hannah Eaves

06/30/06

Interview/film review: "Roughly divided into two segments, 'Who Killed' first addresses the broad history of the electric car, from its birth in the early days of the automobile through its sudden realization and untimely demise. Leased in limited quantities beginning in 1997, the EV was developed by auto companies to fulfill California's mandate even as the companies sought to have the law repealed. When the requirement was altered to their liking in 2003, the cars were taken back and destroyed. The passion and ire of the drivers left behind is touchingly captured in a funeral held for General Motors' flagship electric car, the EV-1. This sets the stage for a dramatic unmasking. Who were the players behind the car's death?

House Votes to End 25-Year Offshore Drilling Ban

House Republicans, led by Rep. Richard Pombo, are intent on cramming offshore oil drilling down our throats. The bill that they passed on Thursday to lift the moratorium on offshore oil drilling contains some unusually coercive measures, including an unprecedented grant of power to the Secretary of Interior over federal aid to states. In typical fashion for this Republican Congress, the full text of the bill was not made available in time for lawmakers to read it and analyze it. Even some Republicans are crying foul.

Watch Us, Wiretap Us, Search Us, Jail Us ...

What explains the gullibility of Americans, a gullibility that has mired the US in disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and which promises war with Iran, North Korea and a variety of other targets if neoconservatives continue to have their way?

Part of the explanation is that millions of conservatives are thrilled at the opportunity to display their patriotism and to show their support for their country. Bush's rhetoric is perfectly designed to appeal to this desire. "You are with us or against us" elicits a blind and unquestioning response from people determined to wear their patriotism on their sleeves. "You are with us or against us" vaccinates Americans against factual reality and guarantees public acceptance of administration propaganda.

Voting Rights Act Reauthorization

Equality in voting is fundamental to the American democratic system. For more than 40 years, the Voting Rights Act has protected the right of every American citizen to cast an informed vote. Consequently, the NAACP strongly encourages Congress to swiftly reauthorize the Voting Rights Act (Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006 [S. 2703/H.R. 9]). http://katrina.naacp.org/r/293/91290

Although the reauthorizing legislation was introduced in Congress on May 2, 2006, on Wednesday, June 21, 2006, a small band of obstructionists in the House of Representatives hampered the reauthorization process by stalling H.R. 9. These congressional obstructionists—like Representatives Lynn Westmorland (GA), Charlie Norwood (GA) and others—represent retrogressive forces that America hasn't seen at this level since the 1960s.

Many of those trying to derail this bill represent states with the most egregious records of discrimination in voting. Their actions would return us to a time when the rights of racial and ethnic minority Americans-specifically the right to vote-were not protected or enforced.

Leaders in the House of Representatives must move past this small group of obstructionists and get the bill back on track immediately. The nation's continued progress towards equality demands this.

Starting on Wednesday, June 27, 2006, the NAACP will join People for the American Way and the National Education Association to hand-deliver signed petitions gathered from around the country to the House leadership.

Tell Congress to stop stalling and renew the Voting Rights Act. Please sign the petition now to tell Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, and Majority Leader, John Boehner, to stand up and lead the effort to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act!

I wonder what effect this will have on people. Not only will it increase the ambient readings in the home or office, but I imagine that it will put additional pollution on the wiring. I'd be interested to hear some opinions.

Beware of exploding laptops

Exploding laptops could be deadly, a Canadian research group reported Thursday.

The Ontario-based Info-Tech Research Group pointed out that computer batteries on laptops have caused several product recalls over the past year and pose a threat to personal safety, especially when traveling by air.

"The most recent event we're aware of involved a Dell laptop exploding and bursting into flames at a business meeting in Osaka, Japan," said senior analyst Carmi Levy. "The potential for an in-flight incident of this nature when travelers are using battery power for portable PCs certainly exists. Everyone worries about covert explosives being taken on board planes, but what about the average laptop that could be just as dangerous?"

In April, Hewlett-Packard recalled 15,700 HP and Compaq notebook computer batteries, while Dell recalled about 22,000 notebook computer batteries last December, and Apple Computer recalled 128,000 batteries for its PowerBook G4 and iBook G4 laptops this spring.
