- Recall Vote on California Governor Gray Davis (MSNBC)
"Voters will be asked in the recall election Oct. 7 whether Davis, who was re-elected only last November, should be recalled and then asked who should succeed him. He would be removed from office if less than 50 percent of the voters opposed the recall, but his replacement would likely be swept into office by a minority, as the candidate who gets the most votes wins." 8-03

- -06-16-08 Gray Water (OasisDesign.net)
"Any water that has been used in the home, except water from toilets, is called grey water. Dish, shower, sink, and laundry water comprise 50-80% of residential "waste" water. This may be reused for other purposes, especially landscape irrigation."
"It's a waste to irrigate with great quantities of drinking water when plants thrive on used water containing small bits of compost. Unlike a lot of ecological stopgap measures, grey water reuse is a part of the fundamental solution to many ecological problems and will probably remain essentially unchanged in the distant future." Also called grey water, graywater, or greywater. 06-08

- Budget Deficit and the Aging Population (USA Today)
"When deficits started taking off 20 years ago, the retirement of the baby boom generation was just a distant worry. Now, as the nation faces years of red ink, including at least a $400 billion shortfall in 2003 alone, the graying population is a fast-approaching reality that will put unprecedented strains on Medicare, Social Security and the economy starting around 2010."
"While recent advances in productivity are expected to help the nation cope with the bulge in retirees, the reduced workforce, possible slowing of immigration and huge new fiscal burdens mean that, unlike the 1990s, the nation could have a tougher time growing out of new budget problems, economists say."
"At the same time, by locking in years of deficits, lawmakers and the White House are reducing national savings and putting upward pressure on interest rates. That could limit their flexibility to increase taxes, issue bonds or take other steps to reform the massive health and retirement programs — while forcing deeper benefit cuts." 2-04
- Shrews (Miniature but Mighty)
"There are four species of shrews in Missouri: masked, southeastern, short-tailed and least shrew. They share similar characteristics and habits, and southeastern shrews weigh the least, coming in at just 2 to 2.5 grams, or about 1/10 ounce."
"Shrews are dark brown to brownish gray, have long pointed noses, tiny black eyes, and thin tails. Their front and back limbs are quite small, and each foot has five toes with claws." 4-05
- -09-10-05 Genes Suggest Brain Still Evolving (Scientific American)
"The size and complexity of the human brain sets us apart from other creatures. Now results published in the current issue of the journal Science suggest that the evolution of our gray matter is ongoing."
"The research, led by Bruce T. Lahn of the University of Chicago, focused on two genes called microcephalin and ASPM."
"The microcephalin variant arose about 37,000 years ago; the ASPM one just 5,800 years ago, the team reports." 9-05
- Boy Brains, Girl Brains (MSNBC News)
"Gray is part of a new crop of educators with a radical idea—that boys and girls are so biologically different they need to be separated into single-sex classes and taught in different ways. In the last five years, brain researchers using sophisticated MRI and PET technology have gathered new information about the ways male and female brains develop and process information. Studies show that girls, for instance, have more active frontal lobes, stronger connections between brain hemispheres and "language centers" that mature earlier than their male counterparts. Critics of gender-based schooling charge that curricula designed to exploit such differences reinforce the most narrow cultural stereotypes. But proponents say that unless neurological, hormonal and cognitive differences between boys and girls are incorporated in the classroom, boys are at a disadvantage."
"Others say basing new teaching methods on raw brain research is misguided. While it's true that brain scans show differences between boys and girls, says David Sadker, education professor at American University, no one is exactly sure what those differences mean. Differences between boys and girls, says Sadker, are dwarfed by brain differences within each gender. 'If you want to make schools a better place,' says Sadker, 'you have to strive to see kids as individuals.' " 9-05

- -09-15-06 Behind the Debate on Extreme Techniques of Coercion (MSNBC News)
"A senior administration official, authorized to speak with reporters about the legal issues behind the administration's strategy yesterday on condition that he not be named, said the CIA interrogations at issue are in 'the gray area on the margins -- that ill-defined boundary -- of Common Article 3.' He was referring to a Geneva Convention provision that bars cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment, as well as 'outrages upon personal dignity.' " 09-06
- Plant the Right Trees for Better Carbon Sequestration (ABC News)
""Syracuse researchers found that if they could replant their city with trees that are great at sequestering carbon compounds, especially carbon dioxide, they could increase the removal of carbon by more than 300 percent. But they also found that air quality would actually suffer from an increase in volatile compounds."
"So they looked at mixing the forest, emphasizing trees that are good performers when it comes to carbon sequestration and don't emit a lot of junk. They came up with a list of 31 species, including American basswood, dogwood, Eastern white pine, Eastern red cedar, gray birch, red maple and river birch. That combination, they found, would increase carbon sequestration by 86 percent, and reduce the emission of volatile compounds by 88 percent."
Editor's Note: Trees also increase oxygen in the air, of course. 02-07
- Alzheimer's Rate Increases (CBS News)

- Mercenaries for the U.S. Not Accountable for Crimes (MSNBC News)
"There is great confusion among legal experts and military officials about what laws — if any — apply to Americans in this [private military] force [in Iraq] of at least 48,000."
"They operate in a decidedly gray legal area. Unlike soldiers, they are not bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Under a special provision secured by American-occupying forces, they are exempt from prosecution by Iraqis for crimes committed there."
" 'I understand this is war,' said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., whose efforts for greater contractor accountability led to an amendment in next year’s Pentagon spending bill. 'But that’s absolutely no excuse for letting this very large force of armed private employees, dare I say mercenaries, run around without any accountability to anyone.' " 08-07
- Men Dressing for Success (DressforSuccess.com)
"The basic men's wardrobe has three primary elements: the suit, the dress shirt and the necktie. The suit is the foundation, the base of your wardrobe. Buying a suit is one of the most important clothing decisions you'll make - consider it an investment. If you don't wear a suit everyday, choose a suit from the gray family and one from the blue family. You will also need a navy blazer or sport coat with a pair of Khaki or gray trousers. If you wear suit everyday, then you should have at least one suit for everyday of the week." 11-07
- Your Boss Really May Be Clueless (Live Science)
"The standard job interviewing attire for men is a conservative dark navy or gray two-piece business suit (of natural fibers, such as wool, if possible), a white long-sleeved button-down dress shirt, a conservative silk tie (that matches the colors in your suit), and nicely polished dress shoes." 11-07

- Green Concrete (Time.com)
"Not the cheap, gray, easily cracked, soulless stuff that gave urbanization a bad name when it was slathered over Western cities in the 1960s, but newfangled, bright — and still relatively expensive — concrete that has come onto the market this decade. High-performance or ultra-high-performance concrete, as it's known in the industry, is up to 10 times stronger than regular concrete. Although, pound-by-pound, it costs several times as much as regular concrete, industry officials say price comparisons are misleading because the high-tech versions have different properties that make them more comparable to materials such as stainless steel or aluminum — which are often more expensive still. The latest concretes have other advantages, including setting much faster. That's giving architects, engineers and builders far greater flexibility to use the material's long-lasting, thermal and acoustic properties in everything from pedestrian bridges to bus stations — and, in turn, contributing to big energy and other environmental savings. Some of the innovations are startling: the white concrete used by American architect Richard Meier for the Jubilee Church in Rome contains titanium dioxide, which keeps the concrete clean at the same time as destroying ambient pollutants such as car exhaust." 02-09
- False Confessions - A Modern History of Interrogation Law (FindLaw - Irsay)
"Confessions are one of the most powerful tools in a prosecutor's arsenal, but how far are police allowed to go to get them? Critics and advocates of current police tactics agree that the goal of interrogation is to elicit voluntary and truthful information. They also agree that there are far more gray areas than clear lines when it comes to the rules of interrogations." 12-02
- 07-26-03 People of Liberia Desparately Need U.S. Help (Indpendent - Walsh)
"Nigeria has promised peacekeeping troops within a week, and the US made another baby step to an offer of concrete assistance. But for some Monrovians that help will come too late."
" 'One week is like one million years to us,' said Benedict Gray. 'I thought Liberia was part of the international community. But we have been deserted by the whole world.' " 7-03
