Well, after driving the other day with my son and 6 other 14 y/o friends of his, I found out they do, and it's pretty good music too.

My son dialed radio to 104.3 MYfm, and every kid in the car knew every word of the song that was playing.

Very nice light pop. Not 100% my style, but certainly a decent alternative.

Originally, we booked the flight with the intentions of island hopping in Greece.  The problem is all international flights go through Athens, which is a half day wasted both ways.

Anyways, spending a week going down the Turkish Coast to Antalya for the rest of the time.  I had no idea Turkey had THIS.

■ Look for products with an SPF of 15 to 50, and that are labeled "broad spectrum protection," meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Higher SPF values are misleading. "It's like the gas mileage sticker on a car. It's based on test conditions that you'll never achieve in the real world," said Ms. Lunder.

■ Avoid sunscreen sprays. The F.D.A. has banned sunscreen powders (though some products may still be available) and has asked for more data on sprays. The concern is twofold: that not enough sunscreen makes it onto the skin, and that the spray may be inhaled into the lungs.

Yeah, the same Jim Comey who threatened to resign if Alberto Gonzales and Andy Card strong-armed the hospitalized John Ashcroft into signing off on the legality of the NSA wiretapping program.

Glenn:

It was Comey, along with Ashcroft, Mueller, and Goldsmith, who threatened to resign if it did not stop, and they deserve credit for that. But the reason they didn't end up resigning was because Bush officials "modified" that NSA program into something those lawyers could and did endorse: the still-illegal, still-radical NSA eavesdropping program that spied on the communications of Americans without warrants and in violation of the law. And this was accomplished by inventing a new legal theory to accompany the old one: that Congress, when it enacted the 2001 AUMF, silently and "implicitly" authorized Bush to eavesdrop in exactly the ways the law expressly forbade.

Thus, it was Comey who gave his legal approval to enable that NSA eavesdropping program to spy on Americans without warrants: the same program that produced so much outrage and scandal when revealed by the NYT. How can any progressive who spent the Bush years vehemently denouncing that domestic spying program as the symbol of Bush radicalism and lawlessness now cheer when the lawyer who approved it is about to be put in charge of the FBI?

Then there's Comey's mixed and quite murky role in authorizing Bush's torture program. Internal DOJ emails released to the New York Times in 2009 show Comey expressing serious reservations, and even objections, to the willingness of Albert Gonzales to legally authorize any interrogation techniques the White House wanted, and he warned those officials that their involvement would be condemned by history. But even as he did so, Comey, as the New York Times explained, eventually, albeit reluctantly, gave his legal approval to those techniques:

Comey will run the FBI alongside Obama's chief of the CIA, John Brennan, who spent the Bush years advocating multiple torture techniques and rendition. The Agent of Change reaches deep into the bowels of the Bush National Security State and empowers them to run two of the most powerful agencies. Then again, the Bush NSA program is hardly controversial in the Age of Obama: it was Obama who first voted to immunize the telecoms from all legal liability for their illegal participation in that program, then the Obama DOJ succeeded in having all lawsuits over that program dismissed on secrecy and immunity grounds, and then Obama himself succeeded in first enacting and then renewing the law that legalized most aspects of that Bush NSA eavesdropping program.

He sent a letter from prison to FDL - it's well woth reading, here.

Lou Dobbs - On his Fox business program, Dobbs described the Pew study as "showing that women have become the breadwinners in this country, and a lot of other concerning and troubling statistics." He went on to call the report suggestive of "society dissolv[ing] around us."

Juan Williams - What we're seeing with four out of 10 families, now the woman is the primary breadwinner. You're seeing the disintegration of marriage, you're seeing men who were hard hit by the economic recession in ways that women weren't. But you're seeing, I think, systemically, larger than the political stories that we follow every day, something going terribly wrong in American society, and it's hurting our children, and it's going to have impact for generations to come.

Erik Erikson - When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and female in society, and the other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it's not antithesis, or it's not competing, it's a complimentary role. We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complimentary relationships in nuclear families, and it's tearing us apart.

Coincidentally, all men.

An active-duty serviceman accidentally shoots his mother in the leg....on Memorial Day...at Arlington National Cemetery.

ARLINGTON -- A woman was injured after an accidental shooting in the parking lot at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.

Sharon Walker, a spokeswoman for Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, which responded to the incident, said the gun fell out of a cemetery visitor's car. Walker said the gun fell under the car and the owner, an active-duty serviceman, tried to retrieve it.

Walker said a shot went off and struck the serviceman's mother in the leg.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is prepared to nominate James Comey, a former Bush administration official with bipartisan credentials, as the next FBI director. In a possible warning sign, the top Republican on the Senate committee that would review the nomination said Comey would face questions about his ties to Wall Street.

Three people with knowledge of the selection said Wednesday that Obama planned to nominate Comey, who was the No. 2 official at the Justice Department under President George W. Bush. Comey was general counsel to Connecticut-based hedge fund Bridgewater Associates from 2010 until earlier this year and now lectures at Columbia Law School. link

Dave Davies was a real treat last night.  He is a little worse for the wear and tear after his stroke, and his voice was pretty shot after gigging a few nights straight, but it's still got soul & feeling, and the crowd was happy to pitch in!  Dave was never known for his singing, but for his revolutionary guitar work...of which he showed flashes of his brilliance.  He was in great spirits and seemed moved by the audience's adulation.  

Took a lot of requests but paid my howling for Wicked Anabella no mind...but he did give us Strangers, such a beautiful song.

The Obama administration issued a final rule on Wednesday that gives employers greater leeway to use employee wellness programs, with financial rewards and penalties for workers worth up to 50 percent of the premium as an incentive to exercise, quit smoking, lose weight, eat more healthful food and lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Tens of millions of workers could be affected. More than 90 percent of employers with 200 or more employees have programs to promote healthful behavior or prevent disease, the Labor Department says.

The rule allows employers to reward or penalize employees who meet specific standards related to their health. Such "outcome-based wellness programs" could, for example, reward employees who do not use tobacco or who achieve a specific cholesterol level, weight or body mass index.

However, an employer-sponsored health plan must provide "a reasonable alternative standard" so that employees can qualify for rewards if they fail to meet the initial standard.

A court employee who retrieved photos and deleted text messages from Trayvon Martin's cellphone has been placed on administrative leave after an attorney testified that prosecutors didn't properly turn over the evidence to the defense, an attorney said Wednesday.
