-ne You know…I really shot myself in the foot by deleting CQ (the first blog), because now my whole 101 in 1001 list is gone. And I started it in March of 2005…I’m going to go with March 30th so that I might get a couple more days in there. I’m thinking about changing some of the travel ones because I know I’m not going to Europe at any point this year because I have no money with which to go. Take an actual yoga class10. Befriend someone I don’t like12. Learn how to do the butterfly stroke.24. Tell someone off without apologizing afterwards.31. Preferably someone I enjoy.33. Read through a whole book without reading the end first.38. Don’t eat fast food for two weeks. Learn to speak a third language.46. Learn to play the guitar.48. Learn to play the piano.49. Tell someone how much they’ve affected me.50. Actually write thank-you notes to everyone who gives me a gift.51. Teach someone to read.59. Be honest when someone asks if they look fat in this60. Learn to mix a drink.62. Learn to drive stick.66. Learn how to make bananas foster.76. Learn to surf.83. Visit an actual castle85. Learn how to make bread from scratch.94. I can definitely still do most of them, but unless someone feels like sending me to Europe for a few weeks, I doubt I’m going to get all 101 finished. It’s funny how 1001 days seemed so long two years ago…and now it doesn’t seem nearly long enough.

-ne #fullpost{display:inline;} But, as Kim Hendren has learned, trying to force drivers to give up cell phone use is a tough battle.Jennifer Barnett ReedState Sen. Kim Hendren has made a legislative career out of trying to make Arkansas’s roads safer. He’s proposed bills to require motorcyclists to wear helmets and drivers hauling loads of gravel to cover them with tarps.And session after session, he’s tried to get his fellow lawmakers to ban motorists from talking on hand-held cell phones — There’s no difference in accident rates for drivers using hand-held versus hands-free cell phones: Both are about four times more likely to be involved in a wreck than drivers who aren’t using a cell phone.“When you start talking on a phone, you just don’t scan the visual environment like you usually would,” Brain activity associated with traffic events is suppressed when people talk on a cell phone.”One study Strayer conducted compared people’s performance on a driving simulator first when they were legally drunk and later when they were sober, but talking on a cell phone.“They were every bit as impaired talking on a cell phone as when they were drunk,” all behaviors typical of drivers over 65, and that increase the likelihood of accidents and impede the general flow of traffic.Strayer said it’s common for cell phone users to acknowledge that other drivers cause problems when they talk on their cell phones, but that they themselves aren’t impaired.“I was riding with one of my colleagues from work and he pulled out his cell phone to answer a call from his wife,” Laws limiting cell phone use in motor vehicles are on the books in 28 states, including Arkansas, which prohibits school bus drivers from using cell phones while they’re operating a bus.In the 2007 legislative session, Hendren proposed not only requiring drivers to use hands-free devices, but also prohibiting young drivers from using cell phones altogether, as 13 other states have done. In our view, there are already appropriate laws on the books to address this issue.”In fact, research on distracted driving shows cell phone usage is not the most dangerous attention-diverter drivers deal with. But the study showed that after an initial surge in compliance, drivers have gone back to using their hand-held cell phones as frequently as they did before the law went into effect.Strayer said the problem is that cell phone users today treat the problem of distracted driving like people used to view drunken driving 30 years ago.“People were still doing it, and just kind of chuckling about it,” They could require drivers who are involved in accidents to provide their cell phone records to the insurance company, to show whether they were on the phone at the time of the wreck. may be able to use technology being developed by a Canadian company called Aegis Mobility that would make it difficult or impossible to use cell phones when a car is in motion.The technology uses the GPS tracking devices embedded in almost every cell phone to keep tabs on how fast the phone is moving when it’s being used, and whether it’s located on a road or not, said Dave Teater, the company’s vice president for public affairs. Subscribers would sign up for the service through their cell phone carrier, and could choose what limits to place on phone use — from disabling the phone altogether while it’s moving, to routing calls to voice mail, to playing a message to the caller that the person appears to be driving and it might be dangerous to answer the phone.Teater, who joined Aegis just over a week ago, has been an active crusader against in-car cell phone use since his 12-year-old son was killed by a driver talking on a cell phone.“I just think what they’re doing will save lives,”
