Since most pools already receive substantially more solar radiation than a 3 meter circle, I don't think they will have to worry too much. Now the cat might get blinded, but would have to be really stupid to not run when you get within 5 foot or so with a giant reflective dish.
A hell of a lot more than just Texas has that kind of heat. Pretty much the entire Gulf coast, lower great plains, and desert southwest area all have 100+ degree temps for at least a third of the year.
So you think that 80% successful at something completely different is better than 70% projected success rate on what we are actually talking about?
I can beat my son 90% of the time at 5 card stud poker, the best poker players in the world win about 20-30% of their hands when playing at a full table. So, by your logic, I should move to Vegas so they will pay me to NOT play poker because I am so much better than anyone else at it.
I think you meant "...to release drugs with more than 2 side effects?" The no there kind of changes it and I'm sure that the pharma companies would gladly oblige.
In reality though, MOST things will have more than a few side effects, that is why they are prescription drugs...if they were completely safe they would be OTC. As far as that goes, even most OTC drugs have more than a few potential side effects they are just more rare and less damaging. If Bristol Myers Squibb proposed Tylenol as a new drug it would almost certainly NOT be given clearance by the modern FDA, it's therapeutic window is just too small, especially in people with liver issues which they might not even know they have.
They can't fire them for an accusation and they can't let them teach if the allegations ultimately turn out to be true. For a school district the size of LA or NYC, 160 teachers isn't great but it isn't that bad. The problem to me isn't the system to pay the teachers, but instead the system that takes seven years to determine worthiness to teach. I think hiring a teacher that required a $14/hr assistant is part of the problem as well.
I'll give a similar situation, I am a nurse, if I am accused of any sort of misconduct with any sort of substance behind it I generally get sent home with pay while an investigation takes place. I have never been in this situation, but about twice a year someone is and we only employ about 40 nurses. Sometimes people are sent home for the afternoon and then return the next work day, others involving actual allegations of abuse have taken days while police investigate. If the allegations turn out to be true, they don't get paid...they almost never do and so they get paid.
It is funny watching everyone on here discuss how ignorant all their users are for thinking they own the code simply for paying for it...and later today there will be a post discussing the RIAA and why they are an evil organization for trying to force their users who purchased their works to recognize that they don't now own that music.
That's why you apply a "top coat" of some sort of plastic to the ice once formed. Of course, all that ice sculpture does is protect one from an environment that is very cold but not very conductive and so easily protected against. It also would do nothing to maintain pressure inside the "bubble". Probably easier to just use plastic in the first place...
By my own observations in a state with term limits, what actually happens at the state senate and house is that they just try to steal as much as they can in their short time allowed and get just as little done as before.
Question: What weighs more a kilogram of U-238 or a kilogram of Co-60?
Answer: Wait long enough and the correct answer is Co-60...
Sorry, couldn't resist. Just an alpha versus beta and gamma particle thing...
In reality though, the bio-half life of tritium of a week or two combined with it being a weak beta emitter means it really isn't all that dangerous in even close to the quantities discussed here... This is just a non-story.
The problem is that about 70% of American's are perpetually without any lump sum of money and so look at a "payment plan" as a way to get what they otherwise couldn't afford...all that without realizing that the hundreds of other items they have purchased in the past on credit is why they don't have any money...We have an interesting economy without a doubt.
No, granny survived heart problems and cancer, she very well might die of the flu though. Not just swine flu though...seasonal flu kills them quite effectively. 90% of the deaths every year in this country from the flu are from elderly people.
Chicago put it's name in the hat LONG before Obama was even running for the presidential office...possibly back when he was a state level representative.

Did you mean granular?

Sure, it is an acronym...but the minute the word itself entered common vernacular, it might MEAN L.A.S.E.R., but it is spelled laser.
I've shot Gem Clear (a specific brand of 190 proof PGA) several times in the past. It burns, but isn't much worse than cheap vodka.
Yea, definitely good BBQ to be found in the Delta...

The few times I've visited, I've thought Newark up and over to southern Connecticut should be its own COUNTRY...

You should, soap is a required component for most proper bathing...

Why convert to Celsius? At that temperature the difference between the two becomes almost irrelevant.
Don't forget about Cox who has caps but never enforces them.

I don't remember any lawsuits against people who copied a CD for use in their car or made a personal MP3 for their Ipod.

I think the real question is what could a terrorist do to make an Amtrak train any more dangerous than it already is.

We don't have to...the page is the US page and our law allows us to discriminate against those that kill us.

Israeli border crossings are a bit of a pain too...without a doubt.
