Much less exposure to just re-route the shipping to the NSA than to have NSA people at the manufacturers warehouse opening boxes. NSLetters are addressed to the man in charge (CEO), he can't disclose to anyone without permission (i.e. I need to have Fred patch in your backdoor).
They do threaten to send you to jail if you disclose anything about an NSL (even its existence). I don't think anyone wants to take a chance with their life and liberty to test them and find out. Best to just go along and cooperate with the man. Just look at Snowden. On the run. Trapped in Russia. He disclosed the existence of warrant-less wiretapping and other dirty tricks.
Or... they could have received a National Security Letter. By law, they have to deny the existence of the letter and its contents. By law, if they have received a NSL, they have to say that they are "not aware of receiving any court orders or subpoenas from the NSA". See, perfectly clear denial.
Sometimes you need permanent classrooms. Sometimes you need temporary classrooms. School populations grow and decrease due to lots of factors (economy, jobs, local growth, etc.). If there is a good forecast for a permanent (10-20 year) increase in population, you build permanent classrooms. If not, temporary classrooms are a better solution... but the point of this article is that you need to have good environmental quality temporary classrooms, not the trailer trash which is currently in use.
There is no difference between NSA spying on US citizens and their spying on the rest of the world. They vacuum up everything. They have constant surveillance on all communications of everybody. They make no distinction. It doesn't matter that you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide. They want to know everything. They are should spy on individuals or organizations who are "evildoers", not entire countries like the Bahamas. The NSA has harmed our democracy and our country by instilling fear in the US and abroad. Secrecy and anonymity are essential to a functioning democracy and the NSA has destroyed that.
Judging from the comments, it looks like we still don't have a solution to the problem of nuclear waste in spite of years of study and research. It would probably be best to stop making more nuclear waste until we have a safe method of getting rid of it.

This is just a Bluetooth monitor which is supported by all current model Android and Apple phones. What's really news here is that the Samsung phone supports the ANT+ technology which is used by a lot of sports sensors plus they have some nice software to analyze the data.
Amazon is just your standard psychopathic corporation. It has no "conscience" and it focused only on making more money. At times this is good or bad for consumers and suppliers. It exploits workers (good for consumers, bad for workers, good for profits). It (mostly) exploits suppliers (good for consumers, bad for suppliers, good for profits). It exploits government tax rules (sales tax, corporate tax, etc.)... (bad for tax revenue, good for consumers in the short term, good for profits)
A recent survey of the most leading criminologists in the country from found that the overwhelming majority did not believe that the death penalty is a proven deterrent to homicide. Eighty-eight percent of the country’s top criminologists do not believe the death penalty acts as a deterrent to homicide, according to a new study published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology and authored by Professor Michael Radelet, Chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of Colorado-Boulder, and Traci Lacock, also at Boulder.
Similarly, 87% of the expert criminologists believe that abolition of the death penalty would not have any significant effect on murder rates. In addition, 75% of the respondents agree that “debates about the death penalty distract Congress and state legislatures from focusing on real solutions to crime problems.”
The survey relied on questionnaires completed by the most pre-eminent criminologists in the country, including Fellows in the American Society of Criminology; winners of the American Society of Criminology’s prestigious Southerland Award; and recent presidents of the American Society of Criminology. Respondents were not asked for their personal opinion about the death penalty, but instead to answer on the basis of their understandings of the empirical research.

The State does have an extensive process of assessing guilt. It's called the Judicial branch of government. There are numerous mechanisms for checking verdicts and appeals and all of these are exhausted in most death penalty cases (it takes years). However, the system is not foolproof as evidenced by people exonerated by new evidence (DNA), etc. It's still not OK to kill innocent people.
I don't accept killing innocent people. I don't even accept the idea of killing guilty people. To me, killing is just a brutal revenge. I think killing a guilty person is actually the easy way out for the guilty. I think it is a much more severe punishment to have a guilty person rot in jail for the rest of their life without the possibility of release.
Do you realize that there is a difference between voluntary assisted suicide and involuntary execution? Here are some actual numbers if you are interested rather than just ranting "thousands" (hint: looks like less than 1000 worldwide over the past 10 years). http://www.theguardian.com/new...
Except... Numerous studies have shown that the death penalty has no effect on crime so no consequences for not killing people. So... best to join the rest of the civilized countries in the world and abolish the death penalty.

My car is rated 27/38 by US EPA.
Over the first 36,000 miles, I have averaged 42 MPG (two drivers).
I'm obviously happy with this result.

We can argue about rates forever but what I really want to know is...
So... you're OK with killing innocent people?
