• while driving bans don't work, may actually hurt, study finds
• Summmary: There have been researches that had stated about "texting" during driving. However, this had became a major issue because this is affecting the people to get injured or killed. "Texting bans haven't reduced crashes at all. In a perverse twist, crashes increased in 3 of the 4 states we studied after bans were enacted. It's an indication thatf texting bans might even increase the risk of texting for drivers who continue to do so despite the laws," says Lund" is said by Adrian Lund who is from the Governors Highway Safety Association. He opinions about this is risking the people's lives. The stakeholders are Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) and Adrian Lund who wants to prevent from accidents, crashes, etc. The social and ethical issues here is Arts, Entertainment, and leisure because it's showing how cell phones are used for texting when they are driving. The people aren't following the laws and this results to be banned for texting. I think that texting shouldn't be allowed and banded when driving.
• In California (January 2009), Louisiana (July 2008), Minnesota (August 2008), and Washington (January 2008) there have been millions of people who died from texting during driving.

• New Compass Uses Light Beams to Detect Magnetic Field
• Summary: There are new compasses that uses light beams for detecting Magnetic field was created stated by a group of physicists. The compasses beams light through the rubidium atoms which can meausre the size and the orientation of the magnetic field. Inside the compass there are build-in local magnetic field in order to find the direction and also it rebuilds the compass itself. The stakeholders are Zibrov along with his colleagues and they hadtested the compass for pinpointing the compass at the right direction. They had eventuallty trapped the rubidium-87 atoms at the 113 degrees fahrenheit. This relates to people because this would affect them. The compasses only have little energy for use and it's not that big. To me, it seems to be a modern invention of compasses and it is easier to use. Also, this tool might be helpful for education uses. I think that there should be better compasses.
• The New compasses can detect directions for magnetic field.
