Submitted at 8/22/2011 2:01:00 AM

Sarah Palin has said she will make a decision on whether to run for President before October. Until the former Alaska governor formally reveals her intentions, her actions and words will be viewed differently by those inclined to think she is running and those who think she is a drama queen, a mere Tea Party tease, determined to keep herself in the spotlight to assure future income and remain relevant in the national conversation. Just as blacks and whites viewed the aftermath of events such as Hurricane Katrina and the controversies surrounding people such as O.J. Simpson and Barry Bonds through completely different prisms, Palin’s actions and words serve as a political Rorschach test that is interpreted alternatively by her supporters and detractors. Palin’s public statements and actions, if taken at face value, though, reveal a person who has called for a candidate to “shake things up,” but who is herself wavering on that “earth- shattering” decision. Signaling a Run In April, Palin went to between Gov. Scott Walker and which she told President Obama, campaign. Palin’s detractors herself.

Submitted at 8/22/2011 2:01:00 AM

If you thought nobody could be as tough on illegal aliens as Arizona, then you should pay attention to what is happening in Alabama. If the anti-illegal alien legislation that Gov. Robert Bentley signed into law in June is any indication, then Alabama may very well be the state that is toughest on those crossing our border unlawfully. Indeed, the new law (set to take effect Sept. 1) has stringent provisions. In addition to enacting common-sense requirements such as proof of citizenship for voters and proof of legal residency for workers, the law also forbids landlords to rent to illegal aliens, anyone to harbor illegal aliens, and any Alabama local jurisdiction to refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement (refusals that create so-called “sanctuary” cities for illegal aliens). It requires police in Alabama—as it should be in burglar—not an invited guest, but their liberal allies lost no time in Alabama’s unfortunate history as to check the immigration status of every state. an invader.

While you were busy catapulting Angry Birds on your iPhone, scientists at Vanderbilt university were using the components inside your smartphone to create bionic limbs. The Vanderbilt leg, seven years in the making, anticipates the movements of the person wearing it, resulting in a more natural gait instead of the slight dragging experienced by most wearers. The trick is pulled off by loading the prosthetic up with batteries, powerful mobile processing, and a suite of motion sensors -- many of the same core components that are jammed inside your precious, glossy smartphone. And it turns out that the advances achieved in smartphone tech, used cleverly, can change the world for people other than amputees too.

Under attack for leaving whistleblowers out to dry, NASA has tentatively signaled that it’s open to changing its policies. “We believe that strongly enforcing existing protections is not something to be embarrassed about,” said NASA spokesperson Bob Jacobs. “That said, if NASA’s science community wants to consider the pros and cons of advancing additional protections, we would not discourage such a process.” Though Jacobs’ words are restrained, they represent a change in NASA’s position towards criticisms raised after their new science integrity plan was publicized by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a government watchdog group. NASA sent its plan to the White House in response to a 2009 call for policies to explicitly protect federal scientists from financial reports on NASA’s climate were highlighted August 15 by scientific integrity.
