It looks like virtually all the weasel-worded California ballot initiatives that want to grab money from other funding sources to pay for the budget deficit will be crushed, leaving California back where it started, with no budget agreement. Turnout will probably be minuscule, however the hardcore No folks will certainly turn out in force [...] Andy Carling interviews Legofesto Legofesto is a British artist who describes herself as “a politics-junkie and news-hound, with a obsession for lego” and “very, very pissed off about how this War on Terror is being prosecuted”. Legofesto. http://legofesto.blogspot.com/ I’m of two minds about such fanciful, creative ideas for urban architecture and urban gardening. Sure, the ideas are brilliant and imaginative, but will they get build? More to the point, should they get built? I mean, the only people who could work and live in such wondrous places are those who are already [...] Walter and Monica Noel of FGG Madoff trustee Irving Picard continues to sue beneficiaries of Madoff’s fraud for ill-gotten gains, and he’s now trained his guns on the biggest beneficiary of all: Fairfield Greenwich Group.

No continuing outside energy source is needed. But there’s more. Electrical energy generation, despite being the obvious application of OTEC technology, is not it’s only benefit. The cold deep ocean [...] Investigators are turning their focus to some of Bernie Madoff’s largest “victims”, as evidence piles up that they must’ve known fraud was at hand. The damning part: Some would specifically request a certain level of returns in advance. That’s right. They requested gains, and Madoff gave them those gains by booking fictitious trades. Something really [...] It’s official: the shooting war between the LTTE and Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) is over, and LTTE leader Prabhakaran is dead.
