Robot prostitutes tipped to tempt future tourists
It sounds like science fiction, but robot bar staff, hotel rooms that change colour, cruise ships as big as aircraft carriers and even robot sex are part of the future for travellers, a tourism conference has been told.

Dean: Public option a must for health care reform
Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean is arguing that there can be no meaningful overhaul of the health care system without a public option for coverage. [...]Dean discussed the situation on NBC's "Today" show amid indications the Obama administration is backing away from its insistence on a public option in the face of vocal opposition. Referring to the public health option, the former Vermont governor said, "You can't really do health care reform without it."

HA! (You got to educate/agitate & organise...)

Protesters want Yoo fired from Berkeley
Anti-war activists protested Monday at the University of California, Berkeley to call for the firing of a law professor who co-wrote legal memos that critics say were used to justify the torture of suspected terrorists. Campus police arrested at least four people who refused to leave the university's law school building. The demonstrators said John Yoo should be dismissed, disbarred and prosecuted for war crimes for his work as a Bush administration attorney from 2001 to 2003, when he helped craft legal theories for waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.The TRUTH about Amsterdam
"Most people know that the Fox channel isn't the most objective news source on American TV. But in a pretty recent broadcast Amsterdam is so falsely portrayed as a city of crime, drugs and anarchy, that I had to show the facts."

Insound - I think I love you!
Here.I have to say that I am more than impressed by the service from Insound.
I have Richard Hell's 'Destiny Street Repaired' vinyl album on pre order and then I noticed that they also have this t-shirt in their catalogue.
Insound have a policy that they do not take the money out of your account until the order is actually shipped, so I thought I would e/mail to see if it was possible to add this 't' to the order and maybe save a little on postage, which is quite a lot to Australia (tho' it has to be said they are cheaper than I have seen in other places.)
Anyway I received a message back within a couple of hours (if that) from the ever charming Kimberly saying that it had been added and that even if they were posted separately they would only charge postage for one item!
What can I say?
Unbelievable...and do check Insound out as they also offer free mp3's from some of their ever building catalogue.
