Lawmakers Say Proposed Change in Auto Insurance Necessary

Mar. 19--Lawmakers are considering a change to Colorado's auto insurance system that critics say could cost consumers money but proponents are hailing as necessary aid to medical providers. Senate Bill 193 would require all motorists to have coverage of $25,000 in health benefits and $25,000 in rehabilitation. Proponents say the bill, sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, is necessary because trauma and other medical providers are losing money under the state's three-year-old tort insurance system. The state's old personal injury protection insurance covered drivers who were hurt in an accident, regardless of whose fault it was. Each insurance company took care of its own client's costs.



But since that coverage became optional in 2003, drivers who don't have it have suffered huge bills.

Clothing with a conscience Dressing 'cruelty-free' doesn't have to mean sacrificing style

North of Boston image consultant Ginger Burr makes a silent statement every morning while getting dressed for work - her stylish wardrobe is 100 percent vegan.

What's vegan, you ask? Veganism is the practice of not eating meat, fish, eggs or dairy products - anything from an animal. And most people who follow the practice - who are known vegans - typically shun clothing made from animal byproducts, including leather, wool, cashmere, suede, shearling, down, silk and fur because they believe the animals are treated inhumanely.

"Veganism is more than what you eat, it is a personal philosophy of living a life of compassion toward all living beings," Burr said. "Sure, it takes a little extra thought and effort. But as my mother has always said, anything worth doing is worth doing well."

Burr, who hasn't eaten red meat in 25 years, decided to go vegan roughly a year-and-a-half ago after reading about what she considered to be cruel treatment of animals in the dairy industry.

Separating politics from pursuit of justice

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft had a standard spiel for new U.S. attorneys: "You have to leave politics at the door to do this job properly."

Maintaining that independence, without fear of repercussions, is the bedrock principle at stake in the controversy over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. As the top law enforcement official in each of their jurisdictions, these federal prosecutors have the power to destroy reputations, careers and even lives.

They're political appointees, but they're supposed to follow the evidence wherever it leads, without fear or favor. While presidents have the power to remove them for any reason, tradition holds that prosecutors should stay on the job unless they're corrupt or incompetent.

When Democrat Bill Clinton became president, he fired all but one of the U.S.

Let your muscles thaw in spring

Ah, spring.

Time to soak in the sweet embrace of mother nature, run out to celebrate the arrival of warmer days and immediately pull a hamstring.

Ouch.

Spring may awaken your inner Jack La Lanne. But if you've spent the last few months emulating John Goodman, then you might want to ease up a bit before going full throttle with activities.

"At this point, people are out running, hiking, gardening, playing softball," said Dr. Carol Scott, a certified sports medicine specialist and assistant director of the University of Nevada, Reno's student health center. "But if you've been fairly sedentary during the winter, then you can get injured out there. It's usually a matter of 'too much, too fast.'""

Lots of hurting

The type of spring injuries run the gamut of the different activities that cause them.

Virtual racing games linked to risk taking

WASHINGTON: Psychologists have taken the "media priming" effects of popular video console and PC-based games on the road, finding that virtual racing seems to lead to aggressive driving and a propensity for risk taking. Extending prior findings on how aggressive virtual-shooter games increase aggression-related thoughts, feelings and behaviors, researchers at Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians University and the Allianz Center for Technology found that of 198 men and women, those who play more virtual car-racing games were more likely to report that they drive aggressively and get in accidents. Less frequent virtual racing was associated with more cautious driving. According to this press release issued by EurekAlert, the findings appear in the March issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, which is published by the American Psychological Association.

I handled 9/11 from A to Z: Qaida No. 3

WASHINGTON: They called him the "Forrest Gump of terrorism" for his involvement in many terrorist acts and plans across the world going back to the mid-1990s. At a hearing in Guantanamo Bay last week, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed showed the moniker was well deserved, owning up his role in 31 terrorist plots, including 9/11, the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, and a host of plots and plans in between.

In a rambling, disjointed statement at a military hearing, the most coherent sentence the man initialed as KSM said was "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z." He expressed some regret over the incident ("I'm not happy that 3,000 been killed in America. I feel sorry even. I don't like to kill children and the kids") but rationalized it later saying, "The language of war is victims."

Among his involvement in many plots was one in which he said there was "surveying and financing for the destruction of the Israeli Embassy in India, Azerbaijan, the Philippines and Australia." There were also assassination plots against Presidents Clinton and Carter, and the attempt on the life of Pakistani's military ruler Pervez Musharraf.

Despite shrinking census numbers, many city and town residents are ...

Erie County's population is shrinking, but that's not news to City of Tonawanda resident Jane Mago.Six of Mago's seven children have moved out of the area, two to Virginia, two to Florida, one to Tennessee and one to Albany."Work took them out of the area," Mago said. "They're all very loyal to the area. They don't hate it here, but there wasn't anything for them here in their particular fields."Even though it's difficult not seeing her children and grandchildren as much as she'd like, she understands that young people have to go where they can find jobs, Mago said."The high cost of living and taxes also didn't help," she said. "Other states have much better taxes."Hers is a story common to many local families, one told in long-distance phone bills and birthday cards delivered by post instead of in person — and it's confirmed by census data that reveals a precipitous decline in local numbers.Cost of doing businessThe first thing that comes to mind for many in the area is finding work.

Roberts Hopes To Take Pressure Off Bonds

The way Dave Roberts sees it, the San Francisco Giants have to do more than just watch Barry Bonds.

"I think this team has obviously always been centered around Barry and waiting for him to do something really special, but I think guys up and down the lineup still need to do their jobs," Roberts said. "For me, it's needing to get on base and provide energy and stealing bases. That's my job, my role this year and I'm excited about my role."

For the first time in years, the Giants have a prototypical leadoff man in Roberts. He is energetic, gets on base and regularly steals bags. He's also a welcoming, friendly face to his teammates in the clubhouse who has been a fan favorite at every stop.

Roberts will bat in front of Omar Vizquel, giving San Francisco two base-stealing threats at the top of the lineup the Giants hope will be key in making the club a contender again.

Tax breaks expected for green cars

OTTAWA -- Industry analysts say the Conservative government is on the right track with new tax incentives expected for fuel-efficient vehicles in Monday's budget Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced this winter that the government would soon take steps to make environmentally friendly vehicles more affordable, as part of an agenda to promote action on climate change and cleaner air.

Advanced technology vehicles such as hybrids, which run on combined power from gasoline and a rechargeable battery, are much more efficient than conventional cars, but they often have a price tag that is several thousand dollars more expensive.

"It would certainly be useful to have some sort of incentive to help bridge the gap between that type of a vehicle and a normal vehicle on the road," said David Adams, president of the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers of Canada.

Walk 'n' roll

Becca Clark held her mothers hand while walking through a local shopping mall on a recent Sunday. Then she let go and coasted down the tiled hallway, her pink-and-white sneakers gliding across the floor. As easily as she launched, Becca then stopped, stepping back into a regular walking pattern. Was it magic? Not really. She was wearing Heelys, the hottest craze in tween footwear. "A lot of people wear them," said Becca, 11, from Lewis Center. "You can go faster, and sometimes you can race with them." How do they work? The chunky, soft-soled sneakers are similar to skateboarding shoes yet boast a thick rubber wheel in each heel that can be used and removed as the wearer chooses. After gaining momentum from a walking start, the wearer slightly shifts his or her body weight to the heels, allowing the wheels to glide along for several feet.
