It's not a time traveler on a mobile phone (where would the cell towers be?). It's a woman with an earache holding her ear and walking down the street talking to herself. ~ link

Don't we already have privitized prisons in Arizona? Haven't they been prominently in the news recently because of how poorly they're run and overseen -- and how easy it is for murders to escape? It looks good on paper but... ~ link

In a diverse city known for its rich culture and beautiful beaches, Guam General Hospital offers yet another incentive – world-class health care. Guam General Hospital is a private not-for-profit hospital and one of the most comprehensive medical facilities in Guam serving a dozen counties with a population in excess of 1 million. As one of the largest hospitals in Guam, Guam General Hospital is licensed for 988 beds, and with over 3,000 employees, is one of the region's largest employers. ~ link (via)
