siestas are awesome

MONDAY, Feb. 12 (HealthDay News) — A large study of Greek men and women suggests that taking a daily midday nap may reduce your risk of dying from heart disease by more than 30 percent. Siestas are common in Mediterranean countries and several Latin American nations, and in these countries, the rate of dying from heart disease is comparatively low. Earlier studies had looked at the association between midday naps and heart disease, but the results were inconsistent. The new study is the first large, prospective study of people who were healthy at the start of the study, and it’s also the first one to take into account risk factors, such as diet and exercise.

flickr attribution

Looks like the fine folks over at the Consumerist.com are using images from Flickr without attribution as spots for their articles. Ben Popken claims it is "Transformative means fair use." but is that really the case? He’s basically just taking the image and slapping it onto his page. He’s actually said "Credit is more trouble than its worth"

Is this really a matter of fair use? It doesn’t seem like it to me. Anyone else peeved by this? What can be done?

Gawker and consumerist are a little too big and popular just to brush this off as "oh, it’s just a small website, it doesn’t matter too much."
