"Researchers were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users. But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it. “We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn't find any.” Although hampered in its original aim, the study did examined the habits of those young men who used pornography – which would appear to be all of them." - RAPatton

"White House environmental adviser Van Jones resigned Saturday after weeks of controversy stemming from his past activism. "On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight Saturday. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide." He continued: "I have been inundated with calls -- from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future." Jones issued two public apologies in recent days, one for signing a petition that questioned whether Bush administration officials "may indeed have deliberately allowed... more... - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

Yep, Steven, and then they all get bunged up when the international view is that we're "all" ignoramuses. Yeesh - English is the "official language" of international business and it's embarrassing to me when people who are not native English speakers have better written grammar and diction than our American brothers & sisters. Bob the Angry Flower needs to address this. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

"BMW has officially revealed their Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show coming next month. The Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept is a plug-in hybrid with a three cylinder turbodiesel engine, a car that bridges the gap between sports car performance and eco-friendly attitude. This new BMW concept will produce a total 356 hp between its engine and two electric motors– enough to push this beast to 62mph in 4.8 seconds. While that may be a second longer than anything that might excite you, this part will– the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept is aiming at 62.6 mpg, with the first 31 miles able to run on electric power alone. This concept is sure to be a big hit at Frankfurt this year. If you’re hungry for the details now, hit the gallery below and the full press release that follows.

"With the news that Friendfeed was being sold to Facebook for an undisclosed sum, people have started flocking over to Google Reader, which shows you how fickle the internet can be. One minute they are all in Friendfeed professing their love for it and the next they are moving over to Google Reader just because they may not agree with the future direction of the other site. I have always been more of a Reader person than a Friendfeed person. I don’t know why but I feel more comfortable with Reader. Maybe it’s because it is tightly integrated with Gmail so I can email things to myself, maybe it’s because Reader has a really nice user interface so I can whiz about from post to post. I can’t pin it down but Reader has always been my preferred app. Say what you like about Google but they always instinctively seem to know what is good for the general net user and what works / doesn’t work. As a result, they have built an app which is primed to benefit from any disgruntled Friendfeed users if Facebook messes too much with it." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I tried GReader as a FF client for a while but was too clumsy. For me FF is best read in FF, though GReader is a good alternative. - Kol Tregaskes

"Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) was discovered by British-Australian astronomer Robert H. McNaught on August 7, 2006 during routine observations. Then, the comet was too dim to be seen with the naked eye but brightened rapidly and reached naked-eye visibility in early January of 2007.....The following photographs were all taken between mid January of 2007, when the comet was visible in the northern hemisphere, and late January when it had moved south and developed a long dust trail." - Live4Emma (L4S)

orvaratli posted a photo: I went out last Sunday to capture some shots of the now ever shorter and earlier sunset. Since I opened my shop at Laugarvegur, I found out that foreigners really like shots with lava in it. Quite a few places close to where I live in Hafnarfjörður have good lava formations. I got some good shot (will post them later) but on my way home I decided to try some seascapes aswell. After seeing some nice seascapes by hallgrg from Hvaleyri I decided to give it a try. I found these nice rounded slimy stones near the huge aluminum factory next to Hafnarfjörður. I was quite pleased with the result.

this is so amazingly good - Scott M Thigpen

"Yet, a quick search of Flickr found the following: Why wasn't Flickr or Time concerned with copyright issues involving these parodies? Not surprisingly, this isn't the first time Flickr came to Barack Obama's defense: Hawk also blogged about how the site deleted the account of a user named Shepherd Johnson after he made critical comments about Obama in the Official White House Photostream back in June. Is Flickr protecting itself from a lawsuit by Time, or censoring free speech it doesn't agree with? " - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

Not to mention it's in Mrsth's stream as well. Let us know what what happens, Thomas. It will be interesting. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

By the way, if Flickr's so concerned about copyright infringement by using Time Magazine's masthead, why does Cairo the Boxer get to make as many Time Magazine covers as he wants with photos of his dogs on it? - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

I'm not saying it wasn't fair use. Of course it was. I'm saying that Flickr either heard from TIME or had reason to belive they'd be hearing from them about it. The question here is does ANY site where user generated content appears have the right to protect themselves from litigation??? Flickr lawyers + yahoo lawyers = Ultra conservative, aim for zero risk company. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

"The picture, distributed through Flickr and virally, through hard copy printouts pasted on lamp posts in Los Angeles, was pulled down by Flickr on account of possible copyright infringement (since the substrate image reproduces an original Time Magazine cover). However, as noted photographer Thomas Hawk,who among other things is also voting democrat, puts it, this looks like censorship: “Personally, I think it’s unfortunate that Flickr would embark upon yet another act of censorship when an image was so clearly parody and fair use. What bothers me even more is that this is still another example of Flickr censoring users who are critical of President Obama and his policies. In June Flickr deleted the entire account and photostream of Flickr user Shepherd Johnson after he posted comments critical of the President on the Official White House Photostream. Now I’m actually a Democrat who voted for President Obama and am super happy to see the President using Flickr. But while Flickr’s... more... - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

"The unemployment rate in the U.S. was still 9.4 percent in July, but some cities are better than others to look for a job. Of the top 50 metro areas, Washington, D.C., is the easiest for unemployed workers to find a job, while Detroit is the hardest, according to a new Job Market Competition index put together by job search engine Indeed. The index ranks cities based on how many unemployed people there are compared to job listings." - Jeff P. Henderson from Bookmarklet

Jacksonville is a deep water Atlantic port that can still expand and a growing force for logistics & distribution for imports/exports. It doesn't have the delays/congestion found in Miami, for example. Jax produces building materials for the US and abroad. It's the third largest military town in the country and the city has substantial medical facilities & med research. Combine those assets with a ridiculously low cost of living, temperate weather and zero income tax.... - Kevin Donahue

It will probably work. - joey

Joey- very proud of you. You did the right thing. Let me know if you need a sitter. - Liza
