President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals gives a select group of undocumented immigrants the right to live and work in the United States for two years without fear of deportation. California is laying the groundwork for extending the right of driving licenses, too, for an estimated 400,000 immigrants. The idea of treating illegal immigrants as everyone else is hard to understand.
It is also hard to understand the argument against voter ID. Some things are counter-intuitive and just makes no sense because they just make no sense.
Called the "most important institutional change" after ObamaCare passed in 2010, the Independent Payment Advisory Board is composed of 15 people who will rule over U.S. health care. They will design plans to assess effectiveness. Your health care, by a cost control committee. And only a minority of the board can be "directly involved" in the provision of health care, that is only a minority can know what they are deciding on.
In Austin, Texas a local community, Mueller, was designed to maximize sustainable living. It is the most concentrated area of electric vehicles in the nation; 40 EV's are owned there. A research group showed that the environmentally conscious citizens of Mueller charge their cars--usually once every two days for four hours--at about the same time. This draws about the power of an air conditioner and, with any real volume, will cause a lot of problems with the grid. Unintended consequence #814.
Cecilia Gimenez, an elderly Spanish lady apparently upset over the deterioration of a prize Elias Garcia Martinez fresco in her local church, decided to repair it herself despite having no experience in restoration. The fresco is virtually destroyed, as destroyed as if the damage had been malicious. People are angry at poor Ms. Gimenez. But her intentions were good; certainly that is excuse enough. A national leader in the making.
Is Akin's gaff dumber than promising to take your message to "all the 57 states" or "the private sector's doing fine"? No, but it's a deeper, more profound dumb. The real problem is he is running against a woman who said this in her successful campaign in 2006: Bush... "let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black." The democracy is really blessed with great choices.
If I were Romney I would announce that my first act as president would be to declare a holiday honoring Neil Armstrong and the Curiosity landing on Mars. I would repeat it every year.
Three of five hospitals now belong to a parent company's network, while more than half of physicians are employed by hospitals or systems, not independent practitioners. Centralization is easier to standardize and control. Think agriculture.
The existing wells in Dimock, Pa. have received permission to resume work. No new wells, just the existing ones. The gas migration issue in Dimock was a result of gas well design and cementing mistakes and not the hydraulic fracturing process. No frack fluids or chemicals returned from depth, but thermogenic gas (not biogenic or naturally occurring) did migrate from some gas wells to 18 water wells. It will be an interesting test for both companies and regulators.
Lady Ailesbury, widowed by the First World War, would only allow herself to be kissed on the left cheek, the other remaining 'sacred to the memory of my dear Lord Ailesbury'. .
The UK has installed 2,500 megawatts of the world's 4,600 megawatts, according to the Earth Policy Institute. Offshore wind in the USA costs about 18 to 22 cents per kilowatt-hour, when wind on land can be produced for 5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Why did James Harrison wait until training camp to have his knee surgery?
Europe's per-capita coffee consumption is the highest in the world. But a change in behavior has appeared; the demand for cheaper coffee is on the rise. This is seen as a cost savings choice by consumers.
Aaaaaannnndddd....a graph. The blue line is employment of over 55 years of age. The red is the rest.
