Reading the Tea Leaves of Police Militarization
What do you get when you combine family trips to a gardening store and loose-leaf tea in your trash? To Kansas law enforcement, it’s probable cause to get a search warrant and perform a SWAT-style raid on a private home. In 2011, Robert Harte and his 13-year-old son went to a store for hydroponic equipment to grow tomatoes for a school project. A state trooper had been assigned to watch that store and write down the license plates of any customers (apparently, shopping at a gardening store translates to marijuana production). To follow up that stellar bit of police work, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office twice examin...

Matcha Tea for Dental Health, Fact or Fable?

Labor Unions, Not the Tea Party, Are Leading the Fight against Obama’s Trade Agenda
K. William Watson This week is the #StopFastTrack Week of Action, an attempt by the anti-globalization movement to coordinate protests around the world against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential free trade agreement between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim countries.  The reason they’re doing it now is to influence lawmakers in the lead up to Congress’s lame duck session, during which many in Washington hope/fear that Congress will vote on a bill to grant “trade promotion authority” (also known as “fast track”) to help the Obama administration complete the TPP negotiations. Spearheading ...

Healthcare Reform Even the Tea Party Could Support
By BLAKE ASHBY  The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the law of the land, and nothing the Tea Party does is likely to lead to its repeal.  But the ACA can be amended to make it less objectionable, and it wouldn’t be that hard.  We just need to modify it to allow Tea Partiers (and […] (Source: The Health Care Blog)

Polarized Politics Led To Cantor’s Defeat– and Cochran’s Victory. Why the “Uncommitted Center” Is So Important (Cantor part 2)
Please scroll down for Part 1 of this post.  When House Majority leader Eric Cantor lost his seat to ultra-conservative David Brat, the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus summed up the majority view among political pundits: “The episode offers a disturbing commentary about the poisonous, polarized state of American politics.”   I cannot agree. I don’t think “polarization” is toxic.  To the contrary, as the poet William Blake once wrote “Without Contraries, No Progress.”  Conflict can clarify issues, and help us move forward.  Indeed, the clash of opinions is a time-honored way of testing their validity. Do ...

Cantor’s Defeat—What It Does Not Mean– Part 1
Shocked by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s defeat in last week’s Virginia primary, many in the media have decided that this “earthquake” has re-shaped the political landscape. Immigration reform is dead, they say, and tea party radicals are far stronger than many suspected. Meanwhile, the alarmists warn, political polarization has divided the country, poisoning our democracy. On that last point they are half-right; Republican voters have moved to the far right, while politically active Democrats are beginning to shift toward the left. But polarization is not necessarily a threat to the Republic.  Pointed deba...

Tea Party Discovers Eric Cantor's Record on Federal Spending
David Boaz I was as surprised as everybody else by David Brat’s defeat of Eric Cantor yesterday. But I’m not really surprised that Tea Party-type voters were tired of Cantor’s voting record. In 2010, I noted that Cantor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, and Rep. Paul Ryan had published a book, Young Guns, which cast the Republican congressional leaders who preceded them as a group that “betrayed its principles” and was plagued by “failures from high-profile ethics lapses to the inability to rein in spending or even slow the growth of government.” But, I wondered, how credible were the messengers? Once you ru...

Bromide in yer tea? Pull the other one
According to Brian Clegg, writing about “bromide” in Chemistry World this week. Bromide salts had an early role in reducing the impact of epilepsy and seizures, which were at the time thought to be caused by an over-active libido and more specifically masturbation. “Potassium bromide was linked to the reduction of sexual passions,” writes Clegg. “It doesn’t seem unreasonable, then, that potassium bromide might be used in an attempt to reduce sexual tension in circumstances where men were isolated for long periods, hence the story of bromide in the tea [given to soldiers during the Great War]...

Quick Stress Relief Tips Through Your 5 Senses
Remember the show “I Dream of Jeanie”? I often wish that with a twitch of my nose I could remove myself from a stressful situation. Too bad it’s not that easy.

Does Green Tea Prevent Alzheimer's Disease?
This article in the Tufts Health and Nutrition Letter certainly added some fuel to the fire - Green Tea Protects Brain Cells. Subscribe to the Alzheimer's Reading Room Email: Now to the new and existing research. Before we start, keep in mind the researchers used a powerful extract of green tea compound called EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). When you read the word extracts this usually means a "high octane" version of what you could usually get drinking a cup of tea. It also usually means that you might have to drink hundreds of cups of green tea in order to get the same effect that comes from ingesting...
