Interesting. Missing 1/1000th of the annual billion+ transactions every quarter can be found by a manual audit , but not detected by programmed oversight?
With all due respect, though their plans might ultimately include this final destination, all of the greedy assholes in the World haven't made it to America yet
Apparently, all the familiar sorts of electrical generation and fueling compounds come with an environmental cost.
Pick your poison: mine coal, crude oil and gas, harness the splitting of the atom, invest in wind and solar collection, damn mighty rivers... there is a documented downside to every way we generate power.
The dottie armchair nuclear scientist in me would argue new nuclear technologies are being kept on the shelf using FUD-like tactics while several of the finite energy options are being used up. This is happening despite the fact that the renewables aren't ready yet to sustain a reliable grid.
If the bulletin board were to contain say, information such as credit card numbers and matching SSNs, the ground you legally stand becomes infinitesimally less stable.
Old B squared has made much more of a career as a bear-poker than as an actual journalist, and should've been aware giving the opposition ammunition to use against him was in poor judgement. His heroin problem was widely publicized, perhaps for the same reason, but it plausibly contributed to his decision-making process.
He's an idealist, and like many who've become heroes in the fight for personal freedoms, he is not without his flaws... but my hat is off to him.
Correct. The light crude being shipped from the Bakken that is the subject of this story Isn't even the crux of the opposition against the pipeline.
It's the bitumen-rich Canadian oil sands product that is most often mentioned as objectionable. Apparently, there is a huge carbon sink associated with that deposit.
If the suspicions of the folks in the article are correct, then it's simply a case of the manufacturers trying to take advantage of the fact that contents are sold by volume, not by weight...
Sure it's about wringing more profits out of each tanker load.
FTA: The liquified gas is worth more repurposed as crude than it can be sold for as methane or propane.
But it also lowers the API gravity measurement (think light versus heavy crude), possibly improving the value of the entire shipment.
There is no perfect system of government. As one Dottie bumper-sticker claims, the Constitution of the US isn't perfect, it's just a whole lot better than what we have now.
This is absolutely some bullshit, but even the most fervent Bill of Rights activist would admit Mr Brown kind of stepped on his dick when he pasted that hyperlink.
His charges and time served are being acknowledged as absurd by the US Attorney's office because of attention like this. The powers that be are not so powerful yet that some semi-organized public outrage does not still motivate them.
The poor bastards in Guantanamo have been largely forgotten... oh yeah, and they have the scarlet T on them.
No idea, but that's her problem, and without proof it's just "chatting shit", and I didn't think Newsweek was in the business of doing that just because proper journalism times time, effort and integrity. If you just want to type something, get a blog.
There is no story without the sensationalism and journalistic conjecture.
Is Newsweek above this sort of tabloid investigative journalism or are they one of many failing and desperate former dead tree rags? Circulation was down from a historical high of 4 million worldwide per week in 2003 to just 1.5 million in 2010. The most liberal-leaning of the former Big 3(with Time & USN&WR), was sold by the Washington Post for $1 and assumption of it's liabilities in August 2010 and merged with the news and opinion website to create The Newsweek Daily Beast Company.... quite possibly to lend a credible name to blog-like reporting.
It's a story, as our interest implies, but it deserves no extra credibility mod points for being associated with Beastweek.

Wait, it's those damn programmers, huh?
Any time a company starts talking about deregulation and loosening immigration laws, it's french for "make our labor cheaper."
Or Hindi.
French programmers only work three hour days.
Now they're paying attention.
All he wanted was a little r...s...p...e...c...t.
I keep using that word that doesn't mean what I think it means.
Does this rag smell like chloroform?

but I knew some poor kids when I was growing up who could bully with the best of them.
It extends across socioeconomic lines, and it smells like the childish rehearsal of Darwinian nature for the adult mating competition.

Oh so this is a golden calf worshipers in action again but why is this news?
Because it's time to move on.
The gossip regarding your sister's reputation has reached virtually ubiquitous saturation.

Repeating smart things, and learning how to tell the difference, makes you look smart, too.

They have convictions, a moral compass, and often political aspirations.
A case like this is guaranteed press coverage and (hopefully) some camera time on cable news.
There was a prosecuter in NYC who made a pretty stellar career off of high profile prosecutions.

This is due to an event on our immediate horizon that we could see coming with both eyes tied behind our backs.
Enjoy your new Delorean.
helping out the little guy!
Perhaps it's merely a daylight savings time discrepancy.

IANAL, but I doubt the dismissal will become case law.
Sorry, it was funny in my head.
That's collectively exhaustive of the options for getting the votes necessary to pass a budget.
It's not the worst system in the World, but never fear, they're not finished yet, either.
So long as the two halves do not become collectively exhaustive, eh?
What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 100? Your Honor. What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 50? Congressman.
