| Two die in fatal Casper crash
Sorry for your losses, but.....why didn't they stop? This is in an area where I ran my own traffic control study a few months ago and found that 73% of the drivers at the intersection ran the stop sign. I guess it will be 72% I used to work for WMC and the worst traffic accident victums we got were from inside the city limits of Casper. FACT! Here's another FACT...if the Casper PD were out there inforcing laws that were written to serve and PROTECT there wouldn't be so many accidents in Casper. People in Casper break laws because there isn't anything done to them when they do. Yet Casper PD was running out of ammunition last year? Like who have they shot at in the last 5 years? Sometimes ya can't find a patrol officer anywhere in Casper but if you drive to the Dump look see how many patrol cars are sitting there at the shooting range! I blame the Chief and all his little patrol officers for this tragety.

Charlize, Salma, Penelope: Domino Effect
There is Hollywood swinging, and then there is Hollywood swinging. On a day that began in producer Robert Evans' fabled backyard and ended with Cameron Diaz singing along to "Another Brick in the Wall" at Drew Barrymore's birthday party, Thursday night was marked by a ferocious round of something called "Hollywood Domino" in a banquet room at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The players were dressed in formal gowns, since the finalists at three round tables covered in red cloth to accentuate the black dominoes were all glamorous, famous women: Charlize Theron, Kate Hudson, Donna Karan, Salma Hayek, Demi Moore and daughter Rumer Willis. The one man of boldfaced note who was still playing: Theron's boyfriend, actor Stuart Townsend. Other men dallied through the room including Ashton Kutcher, James Van Der Beek (cheering from the sidelines) and Matthew Perry.

Decisions and illusions
That we wander, sheeplike, from one bad decision to the next, unaware that we're being led? Are we just hopelessly thick? "I think the right way to think about this is not 'stupid' but 'human,' " Ariely said during a recent stop in Atlanta. "That's how we're designed. The thing to do is to use some of these findings to be more cautious." Ariely's findings — some of them funny, some of them frightening — explain why we do the things we do. "Predictably Irrational" shows how easily we can be manipulated by savvy marketing — how Starbucks persuaded us to pay twice as much for coffee than we were used to paying, for example, or how amazon.com's introduction of free shipping persuaded us to buy more books. The book is often amazing, and frankly, so is Ariely.
