BREMERTON —

Why are Republicans saying \"Don\'t buy GM or Chrysler cars\"? How un-American can you get?

I haven\'t heard Republicans advocating a boycott of Wall Street companies that took bailout cash. What say we boycott companies that took that money? Let\'s dump Chase, J. P. Morgan, AIG, the subprime mortgage companies, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and those Wall Street companies bailed out by the Bush Administration because \"they\'re too big to allow to fail.\"

Any company that is \"too big to fail\" is a monopoly and should be...

We present a new analytical description of the cellular automaton model for singlelane traffic. In contrast to previous approaches we do not use the occupation number of sites as dynamical variable but rather the distance between consecutive cars. Therefore certain longer-ranged correlations are taken into account and even a mean-field approach yields non-trivial results. In fact for the model with v_max = 1 the exact solution is reproduced. For v_max = 2 the fundamental diagram shows a good agreement with results from simulations.

I'm writing to you about a growing problem on Thompson Lane and other areas of Murfreesboro. I don't think most people realize that it's illegal to pass on the right in a bike lane. Recently on the way to work, I passed my husband, who is an avid biker, on his way to the greenway. After I stopped four cars behind someone who was turning into Riverview, my husband passed me and was almost hit by, not one, but two cars who felt like it was their God-given right to get to work 30 seconds faster.

Now I realize that I'm a little emotional about this particular instance, but my whole fami...

Unless you are a surgeon or a pilot, driving a car in traffic is the most complex thing you will ever do. It makes multi-tasking look like watching TV. This is why I regret The Oregonian editorial board opining against cell phone/driving restriction legislation ("Cell phone debate could use hard facts," Feb. 21).

In Tom Vanderbilt's seminal tome "Traffic: Why we drive the way we do," he clearly establishes most of the current science o...
