THe US government reiterates the importance of freedom of expression as well as the freedom of internet through the Twitter censor policy. While many see it as a bad move, many also see it as a good move to help make freedom of expression fair for all users. Until the policy takes effect, the government cannot see how it works, and decide how to take action, if at all.

Major Mary Jennings Hegar had always dreamed of being an airforce pilot, and now that she is, she has faced discrimination because of the exclusionary policy. A policy that excludes women from doing certain jobs because they aren't seen as being capable of them. Women in the military are fighting everyday to get rid of these double standards.

A legal suit challenging the repeal of the "dont' ask, don't tell" policy was thrown out. Log Cabin Republicans filed suit saying the policy was unconstitutional and could leave future service members vulnerable to violations if congress re-enacted the policy. The ninth circuit made the ruling saying that predicting future congress acts are impossible.

This is a 4 page PDF document, no links. It does give good statistics about the impact that obesity has on the cost of health insurance. It also talks about the insuarnce underwriting policies and different possible scenarios for writing insurance policies based on weight. An interesting finding this article talks about is how the normal weight subsidize the over wieght without the policies in place that charge the obese higher rates.

I didn't know light affected any way in pollution. I knew it wasted energy and it was bad, but not that it could affect our health. It is good that France has this new policy to help reduce light pollution.
