This link was sent out by my brother Dave. It is a good summation of the study in Scientific American, plus it brings home the real impact of the study and how deeply ingrained some practices have become.
Best wishes to Jen, who was in what sounds like a typical I-25 car accident, she is fine, although the car is gone.
