got front plates? (Big Bro needs them..)

In the UK, do they enforced front-plate requirements a lot? How do they track them Irish otherwise? http://www.latimes.com/editions/orange/20010606/t000047110.html Police Catch Drivers Without Front Plate Traffic police caught 202 drivers without front license plates on their cars Tuesday at a San Fernando Valley intersection, authorities said. The Los Angeles Police Department conducted the three-hour check because too many people without front license plates were getting away with running red lights, said Sgt. Dale Turner of the LAPD's Valley Traffic Division. Cameras mounted at intersections to catch red-light violators are designed to take photographs of a car's front license plate and the driver's face, but up to 25% of violators caught on film are whizzing away unticketed because the front plate is missing, Turner said. "The fine is under $20," Turner said. "A lot of people I'm sure feel that they'd rather pay the fine than put a license plate on and get a $271 [red-light violation] ticket."

PRO/AH> Chronic wasting disease: update April 2001

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE: UPDATE APRIL 2001 *********************************************** A ProMED-mail post <http://www.promedmail.org> ProMED-mail, a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases <http://www.isid.org> [see also: Chronic wasting disease, captive deer - USA (Nebraska) 20010125.0180 Chronic wasting disease, captive elk - USA (Oklahoma) 20010209.0266 Chronic wasting disease, cervid - USA: human risk? 20010126.0193 Chronic wasting disease, cervids - USA (Colorado) 20010217.0314 Chronic wasting disease, deer to cattle 20010314.0515 Chronic wasting disease, elk: informing hunters 20010118.0141 Chronic wasting disease, wild deer - Canada (SK) 20010409.0697 Chronic wasting disease, wild deer - USA (Nebraska) 20010117.0140] [1] Date: 29 Apr 2001 From: ProMEDmail Source: Western Producer, Canada 15 Feb 2001 [edited] USA -- CWD becoming a threat in the wild ---------------------------------------------------- Chronic wasting disease could devastate Wyoming's wild deer population, a [US] state biologist has told Saskatchewan hunters. Terry Kreeger, the manager of a Wyoming state wildlife research farm, said he not only believes CWD can theoretically pass from farmed deer to wild deer across the fenceline, but that this has probably already occurred in his state. Kreeger spoke at the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation's annual meeting. He qualified his remarks by noting that many important aspects of CWD are still not understood or just barely understood, so few definitive answers about the disease can be given. CWD exists in the wild in southeastern Wyoming, northeastern Colorado and the extreme west of Nebraska. It was first spotted in animals in a Colorado research facility, and then in the Wyoming research farm. Wild cases were only found later, but researchers believe the disease was probably brought into the facilities by infected deer. If for every 5 CWD-infected wild deer or elk another 6 were infected, "in about 35 to 50 years look at what happens to the population -- they crash," he said, describing a chart of projections. Only half the deer population would remain. Wild elk can carry the disease, but appear not to be as susceptible as deer. Less than one percent of elk in the CWD hot zone have been found with the disease. Up to 10 percent of deer in the same area are infected, he said. Kreeger said CWD has probably been carried north by elk and deer wandering from Colorado into Wyoming, but he thinks the first cases discovered in his state were caused by wild deer coming into contact with his CWD-infected facility. "They're all focused around our research facility." Kreeger believes his facility was infected by deer brought in from the infected Colorado facility. (By Ed White, Saskatoon newsroom) ***** [2] Date: 29 Apr 2001 From: ProMEDmail Source: Western Producer, Canada 5 Apr 2001 [edited] Canadian cattle, bison killed as safety measure --------------------------------------------------------- Cattle and bison have been exterminated as part of the chronic wasting disease cleanup. The animals grazed on the same pasture as elk infected with chronic wasting disease. But Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials say there is no evidence those species can contract the elk disease and the extermination is just an act of supreme caution. "There is currently no scientific evidence that chronic wasting disease affects cattle or bison," said CFIA official George Luterbach. "There may be some people who would like to use this in a malaligned (sic) way to suggest that chronic wasting disease is a disease of cattle, or that the other livestock industries have been put at risk here. That clearly is not our intention here," said Luterbach during the Saskatchewan Elk Breeders Association convention. The CFIA has exterminated 259 cattle and 99 bison because they grazed on pastures that had been used by infected elk on a Lloydminster farm. That farm is considered the source of the outbreak in Saskatchewan. The CFIA considers that land so contaminated that it may permanently be banned for elk. The cattle and bison were put down, not because the CFIA thinks there is evidence they could have developed the disease, but because no one has yet proven cattle can't get the disease. "Should evidence come out 5 years from now I'm going to stand here and say that it was a bit of a gamble and it cost a bit of money, but I think we did the right thing," said Luterbach. The cattle, bison and elk industries all supported the slaughter. The CFIA has not yet ruled the CWD outbreak over. As testing expanded, it found one more infected animal. The 400-head herd that the infected animal was part of, as well as 32 animals sold from the herd to 10 other farms, will be exterminated and studied to see if any carry the infection. Luterbach said the outbreak is still limited to animals connected to one herd that became infected in 1989-90. "There's no evidence that we have a multi-source situation." As the traceouts have moved out from the original herd and closer in time to when animals moved, the number of infected animals discovered has plummeted. Luterbach doesn't expect to find more infected elk in so-far uninfected herds. "These animals (now being traced out) one could almost assume will be negative because their exposure was for a relatively short period of time."

Yale Censors Student Paper Over Bush Daughter Flap
by declan＠well.com 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

******* http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=01/04/20/1711257 Yale Censors Student Paper Over Bush Flap by cicero on Friday April 20, @12:06PM If you didn't know any better, you might think that Yale University cared about free expression for its students and campus newspapers. Just look at its breathtakingly sincere official policy on how important free speech is to the health and diversity of the campus community: http://www.yale.edu/ycpo/undregs/pages/II.html ...a free interchange of ideas is necessary... the university must do everything possible to ensure within it the fullest degree of intellectual freedom... we commit ourselves to the idea that the results of free expression are to the general benefit in the long run, however unpleasant they may appear at the time... Because few other institutions in our society have the same central function, few assign such high priority to freedom of expression... What a sham! As soon as a student newspaper published something that controversial about one of President Bush's daughters, Dean of Student Affairs Betty Trachtenberg called the editors into her office and gave them a severe dressing-down about how some kinds of speech is less worthy than others. The article in question had appeared in Rumpus, and quoted friends of Yale student Barbara Bush saying that the Secret Service wasn't doing a particularly splendid job of protecting the president's daughter. "On April 12, nearly a week after the issue had appeared in dining halls and newsstands around campus, Trachtenberg called Rumpus Editor in Chief Jared Leboff '03, Managing Editor Matt Johnson '03 and the article's author, Nathaniel Pincus-Roth '04, into her office. Following that meeting, Rumpus removed the current issue from the tabloid's Web site," the Yale Daily News reported on Friday. The Rumpus website, www.yale.edu/rumpus, now says: "Issue is Currently Unavailable." We know that Secret Service agents have an unfortunate habit of intimidating everyone from 58-year old women upset over anti-gay politicos to people who photograph agents picking their noses to gaming companies, so it's not a stretch to say they didn't like how they were portrayed in the Rumpus piece and complained to Trachtenberg. The truth, though, is that censoring the article from the paper's website won't accomplish much. It had been published a week prior, so anyone on campus who wanted to read it probably did. A better -- and far more distressing -- explanation is that Trachtenberg and Yale wanted to curry favor with the newly-inaugurated president and his administration. No word yet on when Yale will rewrite its "free speech" policy to bring it into line with reality. (PS: Yale has a habit of blocking non-university visitors from reading its policies, so its free speech policy will be mirrored here: http://www.cluebot.com/docs/yale.speech.042001.html) ******* http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=15559 Published Friday, April 20, 2001 Rumpus scolded for Bush story Yale tells tabloid to yank Secret Service story from its Web site BY CHARLOTTE DEWAR YDN Staff Reporter Rumpus is no stranger to controversy, but a recent article the campus tabloid ran on the first daughter is giving it national exposure and trouble with the Yale administration. A story that ran in Rumpus' April edition about alleged mishaps in the Secret Service's protection of Barbara Bush '04, the daughter of President George W. Bush '68, landed the tabloid's editors in hot water with Dean of Student Affairs Betty Trachtenberg, who charged Rumpus staffers with exploiting Bush's presence on campus. At least two national publications, The Washington Post and tabloid The Star, have also taken an interest in Rumpus' report on Barbara Bush's security detail. The cover of Rumpus' April edition screamed "O Daughter, Where Art Thou," and included a story on Barbara Bush's Secret Service attache at Yale. On April 12, nearly a week after the issue had appeared in dining halls and newsstands around campus, Trachtenberg called Rumpus Editor in Chief Jared Leboff '03, Managing Editor Matt Johnson '03 and the article's author, Nathaniel Pincus-Roth '04, into her office. Following that meeting, Rumpus removed the current issue from the tabloid's Web site. [...] The original Rumpus story claimed that on at least two occasions, the Secret Service officers assigned to Bush have inadvertently lost contact with her. Sometime last month, Rumpus reported, Bush and friends were driving to New York City when the agents following them got stuck at a toll booth for lack of the "E-ZPass," which electronically deducts tolls as cars drive through. [...] Trachtenberg was critical of the story's accuracy and appropriateness, and called it "the most irresponsible kind of press that could possibly happen." [...] ****
