The issuance of new license plates will cost each taxpayer far more than the governor will collect in new licensing fees.
For example, anyone with an EZ pass will have to contact the state to update the license plate(s) number of record. Every month, for a year, the issuance of new license plates will generate thousands of extra telephone calls to EZ Pass. This could cause a logjam, resulting in extended wasted time on hold for the caller.
I am sure state employees who have an EZ Pass will make that call from their desk, spending taxpayer dollars. I am also sure that employees of private industry will update their EZ Pass …

U.S. marshals with shotguns guard the courthouse. Barricades block the adjacent street, and steel posts protect the …

SAN DIEGO - The Padres are accustomed to fine pitching performances by Jake Peavy. Getting home runs at home is something out of the ordinary. Peavy allowed one run in six solid innings, and Mike Cameron hit two of San Diego's season-high four home runs at home in the Padres' 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.

According to a study from Beijing, People's Republic of China, "One hundred twenty-six 19-d-old male broiler chickens were used to determine the effects of berberine on the magnitude of the acute inflammatory response induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The birds were weighed and randomly allotted to 1 of 3 treatments at d 19 (3 treatments x 7 replicates x 6 birds)."
"The treatments comprised a control group in which saline was injected at d 21, an LPS-treated group in which LPS (3 mg/kg of BW) was injected at d 21, and finally a berberine and LPS-treated group in which berberine (15 mg/kg of BW) was orally administered from d 19 to d 24 with LPS injection (3 …
