money only when businesses agree to take them."Businesses are not clamoring
for this, to say the least," Farley said. "This is basically growing
the size and scope of government to create an entirely new currency
system."Farley noted that the price of gold saw a significant drop in
early April, its biggest one-day plunge since 1983. He said allowing gold
and silver as legal payment at grocery stores and other businesses would
prove too unpredictable."Anybody who thinks gold or silver is a safe place
to put your money had better think again," he said.The Senate had
previously passed Senate Bill 1439, but it was sent back for final
approval after the House amendment passed.Utah became the first state to
allow gold or silver payments in 2011. Lawmakers in Minnesota, North Carolina,
Idaho, South Carolina, Colorado and other states have debated copycat laws
in recent years. The Maine Senate and House recently rejected a similar
measure.Gold-backed money fell out of favor during World War I because the
U.S. and many other countries needed to print more cash to pay
for the war. President Richard Nixon formally abandoned the gold standard
in 1971.
The author's first experience with Google Glass, a futuristic headmounted
computer that Google hopes will change the world.FoxNews.com / Perry ChiaramonteToday
is my first full day as a cyborg.Ive spent the past 18
or so hours wearing Google Glass -- the Internet giants vision of
an always-on, digitally connected future, disguised as a pair of glassless
eyeglasses.Looking past the double-takes and outright stares from everyone
looking at me, its easy to see the potential of this crazy
gizmo. But for now, well, its weird being one of the borg.Glass
is a lopsided yet oddly comfortable hunk of plastic, silicon and titanium.
The brains of my device were housed in two hunks of gray
plastic, all on the right side (and no, theres currently no option
to swap sides). Google has versions in a variety of colors, including
a gorgeous bright orange. If youre going to call attention to yourself,
may as well do it in style.At the back is a battery
and a tiny speaker that rests against your head, and uses the
bones in your skull to amplify its output. The front contains the
camera, processor and a tiny display screen -- your interface to the
world of Google.I picked mine up from Googles temporary Glass office in
New York. And after a 90-minute walkthrough with several Glass guides, I
was ready to set out in the world.I found using Glass to
be remarkably intuitive and straightforward. Others who tried it had mixed
luck, however, which mainly revealed

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">For the 85 to 90 percent of Americans who already have health
insurance, this thing has already happened. And their only impact is that
their insurance is stronger, better, more secure than it was before. Full
stop. Thats it. They dont have to worry about anything else.-- President
Obama at a press conferencePresident Obama had some gnarly news for the
Democratic campaign committees: This is as good as it gets for his
signature health law.In a press conference on the 100th day of his
second term, Obama found himself on the defensive and short on answers.
Syria genocide? Were looking into it. Benhgazi whistleblowers? Never heard
of them. Intelligence gaps on the Boston Marathon bombing? This is hard
stuff.Presidents usually dont have press conferences unless they have something
they want to say, especially Obama who much prefers batting practice to
swinging at fastballs when it comes to media queries.So why did insular
Obama step to the podium on Tuesday if he didnt have more
definitive answers to the pile of policy and political questions reporters
would surely lay at his feet? Had he wanted to push a
topic, Obama might have just beckoned Steve Kroft or Matt Lauer back
to the White House.The reason for the press conference instead seemed to
be for Obama to assert that despite a string of defeats, he
is still relevant. Having been twice brushed back by Senate Democrats and
with his second-term agenda looking like a dead letter, Obama wan
not cause adverse
effects, the increasing number of caffeinated products on the market, including
drinks, could mean more adverse health effects for children.Last November,
the FDA said it had received 92 reports over four years that
cited illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths after consumption of an energy
shot marketed as 5-Hour Energy. The FDA said it had also received
reports that cited the highly caffeinated Monster Energy Drink in several
deaths.Agency officials said then that the reports to the FDA from consumers,
doctors and others don't necessarily prove that the drinks caused the deaths
or injuries but said they were investigating each one. In February, FDA
Commissioner Margaret Hamburg again stressed that reports to the agency
of adverse events related to energy drinks did not necessarily suggest a
causal effect.FDA officials said they would take action if they could link
the deaths to consumption of the energy drinks, including forcing the companies
to take the products off the market.In 2010, the agency forced manufacturers
of alcoholic caffeinated beverages to cease production of those drinks.
The agency said the combination of caffeine and alcohol could lead to
a "wide-awake drunk" and has led to alcohol poisoning, car accidents and
assaults.
