Just an FYI -- you can get a hearing test at Costco or you can request your results and bring them to Costco.

It might be a routing issue from Cox http://downdetector.com/status/cox-communications

Have you ever had the chance to drive in a third-world country?

They list $6k as the goal vehicle price point.

The point the author makes is that relaxing the filtering restrictions could help remove more oil.

Sort of like saying "the filter isn't effective enough, so we won't filter at all".

Bizarro World indeed.

There are quite a few public pension funds in US with the same issue:

I think the author's 'rant' contains an answer to your post:

"I’m obviously not in favor of replacing anyone’s daily fluid intake with soft drinks, but I can already see a number of straw man arguments headed my way. This is because people have a tendency to think in either-or terms that strictly involve extremes."

I think the main point of his post is that fructose is being demonized. He points out that we're taking in more calories while spending less. If anything is to be taken from the article is that moderation is the way.

It would be very difficult to evaluate Toyota stock. This kind of media events can warp public opinion about a company for a long time. I think it would be very hard to put number to this. I would bet that even if tomorrow the government comes out and says "oops, my bad, everything is fine" you wouldn't see a sudden reversal.

How do subsidies for stadiums, roads and public works 'overwhelmingly' benefit the affluent. A poor person with no car benefits from roads, unless they never leave the house and somehow grow all their food and produce all their goods.

Yeah the "faster than they should" was kinda weird... I'd rather define it as an increase in the money supply.

I think another angle to this is if actually successful it will be a public demo of space warfare capabilities. Sort of like the Chinese anti-satellite missle test.

Historically, unemployment peaks after the official recession has ended.

The actual article http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pub...

Greater population = greater opportunity for mutation. Sounds right...

Only problem I have is if I try to upload a huge image (12344 x 3565) it just kind of dies after trying for a while with no errors/etc...

I'm confused about the "driving is subsidized part".

Last time I checked nobody helped me pay for my car, my registration or my gas taxes. Which do help pay for public transit...

Am I missing something?

Wow, there are some real gems on that site.

Honestly I'm impressed that the app is so popular as a pay-for app. Definitely useful, has beautiful UI but I fail to see why people don't just do a Google query when you want to convert something.

I'm confused:

"17. Can I use my registered warrant to pay my State taxes? You can use a registered warrant to pay some of your State tax liabilities, although you will not receive interest unless you hold the warrant until it is redeemable. For more information, visit the Franchise Tax Board’s website at www.ftb.ca.gov." from: http://www.sco.ca.gov/5935.html

And: "We will accept registered warrants that are not yet redeemable for full face value towards the payment of tax liabilities." from: http://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/newsroom/Registered_Warrants....

Is the state not accepting them for payment of sales tax? Or?

Aside from that... 3.75% interest on those, that is tax free. Sounds like a deal to me.

Interesting to see how many on the list are Breweries.

Personally I like mineral water, something about the carbonation which made it easier to drop soda.

Delicious. Toss on some cheese and hot sauce and bring them to me.

"Despite its lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard, the myTouch’s virtual QWERTY works just fine."

No way... onscreen keyboards just don't compare to physical keyboards. Personally, that's what sold me on the G1 over an iPhone.

I had a chance to play with the myTouch, which is indeed smaller, but if I wanted an on-screen keyboard then I'd go for something with a bigger screen.

Sort of like a tariff? This will end well.

So I'm somewhat confused with the article's suggestion that:

"The only solution is to transform debt into equity across all sectors, in an organised and systematic way. Instead of sending hate mail to near-insolvent homeowners, banks should reach out to borrowers and offer lower interest payments in exchange for equity."

As I understand it, most that will walk away from their homes are upside down, meaning they owe more on the property than it is worth. That is also the reason that they're unable to refinance.

So the authors suggest that the bank lower the interest on the loan in exchange for equity which the homeowner has none of?

California is certainly at the end of the road here. There's no way around a reform at this point. I think in the next few years it will be interesting to see if we chose well when asking for deep cuts in spending.

If we listen to Hal Turner then not only are the bonds real but Holocaust was an elaborate hoax.

He's not exactly credible ...

Mob Rule! Mob Rule! Mob Rule!

Yeah it is a little shady, but still an interesting topic:

"Some simple interventions can do much toward encouraging people to take the stairs, research suggests. For example, a study performed at a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention building found that playing music in stairwells and displaying motivational signs significantly increased the use of stairs."

Stairwell music?

That seems to be the direction...
