Here's a NY Times article on a possible cacinogen in French Fries, and how CA wants to put warning labels on them. I knew french fries are bad for you, but I didn't know they were this bad! That really sucks.

PlaceOpedia connects Wikipedia articles to Google Maps The goal of PlaceOpedia is to connect geographically-relevant Wikipedia articles to their locations by plotting them on Google maps . Nice to see some decent content for a change. FYI, I log on today and see that we've got a new feature, the 'Flag blog' button, which is inconveniently located between the 'Get Your Own Blog' and 'Next Blog' buttons so that we would presumably be getting some flags on error alone (although if one happens to notice it, you can unflag a blog) But that's a trivial matter. What concerns me is this: When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal. We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Ok, see the problem with this? What's "objectionable." I'm guessing there are a good deal of people that would likely deem my blog to be objectionable; and there lies the problem: what is objectionable and what is subjective. Just my 2 cents, Sew On Patches
