Getting rich and being rich are behaviours which are observed across all ethnic boundaries.

Probably.
Rich people aren't like you and me. They are rich because they are willing to do whatever it takes to get rich and that usually includes being an asshole. If you have a conscience, you don't take money from others just so you can have a bigger house, car, etc.
Lack of social conscience, empathy and caring for others is the way you get rich.
So, yes, you can pretty much equate being rich with being an asshole.

Sounds like the Ethiopian calendar.
12 months of 30 days plus a 13th month of 5 or 6 days (which are all holidays!).

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 which requires them to deny the existence of the letter and its contents.

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.

Angela Merkel has a problem with the NSA spying on her but not on the German people.

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.
