A 'ringminder' feature that shifted your phone over to silent or vibrate or whatever might be handy. Incredibly lazy, but it would be handy if the device response to the signal were configurable.
If you put 1 unit of energy into the inefficient (compared to beans?) switchgrass process and get 5 units of energy out, you can run your whole liquid fuel system on switchgrass. Since it pays 5:1 (and thus returns 4), if you produce 125% of your liquid fuel needs (measured ex. switchgrass production), you conveniently have enough left over to push back into sawgrass production, yielding 125% of your needs, which you can...the math still works fairly well at 4:1 or 3:1. The process if fine, the amount of land required is the issue (replacing current gasoline consumption with optimistic sw ethanol would require more than 500 million acres...).
This math also demonstrates the boondoggle that is corn ethanol. Say you are an optimist and think it yields 1.5 units of energy per unit of input (and thus returns 0.5). That means all you have to do is produce 300% of you ex corn fuel needs to run entirely off of corn. If you are more pessimisstic and think it yields 120% (and thus returns 0.2), all you have to do is produce 600% of your ex corn liquid fuel needs. So the likely numbers for corn are awful, and the upper end estimates are still pretty bad.
None of that means that you don't look to moving as much as possible to direct use of solar electricity, but the viability of the process is measured in whether or not it can work (and switchgrass looks like it has a chance, if someone takes it industrial), not in whether you think it is efficient enough.
Did the post include a hilarious pontification on being a Bayesian reasoner, with no hint of acknowledgment that a Bayesian decision depends on its input?
It would be more proper to call them less urban states with large areas of agriculture. Vermont, Maine, West Virginia and Mississippi are the only states with larger rural than urban populations:
There are several others that are close (and thus are 'even less urban' than the rest of the merely less urban states, but they are still more urban than rural).
Note that just over 1% of the country is classified as farm population.
The president is still responsible for the actions of the Attorney General, and the Attorney General must follow the rules for the surveillance to be legal.
It's obvious that Kucinich could be claiming that some of the requests were improper and thus illegal, so I'm not really sure what you have established.
The rules that the NSA operates under and listening to domestic communications of US citizens are classically different things. This administration has eroded the firewall intended to prevent the NSA from eavesdropping on domestic communications, but that doesn't mean that a note from the Attorney General can authorize eavesdropping on calls I make to my mother, that wiretap would require authorization from a judge.

I vote on the basis of whether the first bird I see that day is moving to my left or moving to my right.
Yeah. As a convenience feature, it is great. As an enforcement feature, it is a disaster.
What if it is just a picture of a farmer's field? Ya know, field 13, with rape planted on it.

What's the difference?
Would the mods get it right?
If you know that the predictions are accurate, you must have an even better method of prediction...

I don't think you have the balls to really do that.

Because the manufacturers of generics don't bother advertising?
There are ifs to 4.1. I would characterize your statements as implying that the Attorney General has blanket authorization powers.
Is this:

How does what you are saying jibe with 4.1 or 5.4? Do the redacted portions completely overturn the rest of the directive?
No one uses it conversationally. I have no idea regarding its legal use.
