Only one problem....

1,000 civilians or soldiers held hostage to get him released because he's still alive. The joy of seeing him released in a prisoner swap.

But in principle, I agree we should not execute people. We do execute and have execute innocent people. Probably not the case here (since he proudly confessed, right?).

If you start having pinched nerves or spasms of your inner arm muscles (mostly teres minor and brachialis) simply buy a second "micro" keyboard for $14 and put it off to the side of your other keyboard.

You type on the right half of the right keyboard and the left half of the left keyboard and your arms are in an open relaxed position. You won't be "clinching" your arms to your side any more.

It works. I did it. I recommended to others-- it worked for them. Everyone who has tried it so far has adapted in about 30 to 90 seconds.

She didnt' agree to 24/7 monitoring and it's quite possible her supervisor exceeded his authority by using it that way. It's a bit stalkery and creepy if you think about it at all.

I think adding a year and a letter should be innocuous. Or you could go with the N1,N2,N3 versioning.

Let's see with acronyms that would lead to

RID2015a
IRD2015a
MARS2015a,MARS2015b
RDAID2015a
GAIRS2015a
RRDS2015a
PRIS2015n1,PRIS2015n2

I take it "global" is more important to know that Respiratory in GAIRS?

Those 2014 profit reports were from a period when fuel costs were still high. Their profits should be even higher now.

Basically the ticket price wars have ended. Southwest Airlines cheap hedged fuel ended and they couldn't undercut everyone any more. The airline companies have developed better load balancing strategies.

Just in Iraq and Kuwait alone...

BP PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp,
Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum Co. Plc, Chevron, Getty Oil Co., Gulf Oil, Japan's Arabian Oil Co. , Mobil Corp, Shell International Petroleum Co. Ltd., Texaco .

You do remember the oil fields burning right?
You do remember the U.S. shooting dozens of million dollar a shot missiles per day for weeks to defend oil interests right?

Alternative energy will greatly reduce terrorism incentives and more importantly, funding.

Consumer Reports says much the same..

Highlights:

"Over the first five years of ownership, the median car costs more than $9,100 a year to ownâ"about what it costs to own a midsized SUV such as the Nissan Murano or an upscale sedan such as the Lexus ES. But it's easy to find nice cars that cost much less. Sporty cars such as the base Mini Cooper can cost as little as $5,800 a year to own. Even a quick, refined, and roomy small SUV such as the V6-powered Toyota RAV4 costs as little as $7,800 a year to own."

Part of it is the assumption of a 3,5 or 8 year care ownership period.

OTH, as you pass the 11th year, repair costs start to rise significantly.

Exactly, you could see fairly quickly that the 1% interest rates were creating a bubble, were excessively low, and were being held there to stop the business cycle from having an ordinary recession. Which resulted in intensifying the 2007 recession.

The current low rates are intensifying the next recession. We will have a recession every 3 to 5 years. Engage in chicanery to prevent that- and what you will get is much worse.

I considered both the low and high side options but felt I would keep the post short.

To your point, airlines announced record profits in 2014. They paid bonuses and dividends as a result.

Who knows what state they'll be in 12 years from now tho.

The company offers you 1 week pay per year you have been there in these cases plus you get to work while training your replacement for 12-16 weeks.

So your choice is "get laid off right now and get nothing" or get about three months work with salary. Plus you have a job while you look for a job which makes it easier to get a job. Companies don't like to hire unemployed workers but will hire the same worker with the same experience if they still have a job.

The nasty bit is that if you get a job at 11 weeks and the new company won't wait, you have to skip the new job or take it but lose your severance pay.

Anyway... the short story is "Out of work immediately with no severance or $10,000 to $40,000 compensation and 3-4 months more work while you look for a job."

Fuck those poor indians who get to live in a protected market where they can buy cheap food, drugs, movies, computer development software, computers while getting to earn income in a different country with higher costs where poverty level income is thousands of dollars higher than middle class income in india due to those lower costs.

If u.s. workers were allowed to reimport all the items sold for cheaper in india, it would still be difficult to compete (higher property costs here) . Heck, my blood pressure medicine is $5 a pill. The same pill "illegally" on line can be had from india for 10 cents.
The same movie I pay $16 for, they pay $2.49 for. The same movie I pay $12 to see in theaters, they pay $.50 for.

In the long run it doesn't matter. By 2055, wage stagnation here, and much higher inflation there will equalize wages to the point where the advantage is lost. But it should darn well matter to voters here now who should be aware politicians are not enforcing the law. It's illegal to replace existing u.s. workers directly with h1b workers. At a minimum, when this is occurring, the limits on H1B's should be reduced- not increased.

If airlines of 2026 lose 20% of their passengers to a competing service that charges 87% of airline ticket prices, then airlines will not continue to charge those prices.

We subsidized security for the oil companies. Oil prices would be (much) higher if they had to pay their own security costs. As a result, there would be a higher incentive to conserve oil and to develop alternatives to oil. The security costs to oil are lower than they should be because they are almost all provided at tax payer expense.

Yes, but I'm data driven. Facts won't sway people who decided emotionally that solar sucks immediately but over time they will have an effect. Statements of opinion won't ever sway them.

We really should dump about 100 billion into alternative energy and batteries. The subsequent reduction of oil demand, and reduction in oil prices would have enormous payoffs to future defense savings. Just imagine if oil demand was permanently cut by 50%. The "fair" price of oil would probably drop to $30 a barrel.

A large part of the current drop in prices was due to demand destruction. The majority was due to overproduction called on by an excessively high price sustained for too long.
