Bob Morris on May 19, 2009, 1:15 pm 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 [...] Bob Morris on May 19, 2009, 9:15 am 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/ Bob Morris on May 19, 2009, 5:30 am 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 [...] Bob Morris on May 19, 2009, 12:30 am 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. He wants $3.2 billion back–or all the money FGG took off the table on behalf of clients from 2002 [...] Bob Morris on May 18, 2009, 8:49 pm Ten Bears comments here frequently. From his blog: I’ve been railing about “health insurance” for quite some time now, and as the debate has deepened it has become increasingly clear that what Americans want, what we need, is health care, not insurance. When you’re doing without, you do what you can to take care of [...] Bob Morris on May 18, 2009, 4:33 pm Thus endeth the mistaken story. Bob Morris on May 18, 2009, 1:30 pm With Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, electricity is generated solely by using the difference in temperature between cold deep sea water and warmer surface water. 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 [...] Bob Morris on May 18, 2009, 9:19 am 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 [...] DJ on May 18, 2009, 8:19 am It’s official: the shooting war between the LTTE and Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) is over, and LTTE leader Prabhakaran is dead. GOSL killed an estimated 8,000 Tamil civilians getting the job done (some put the number far higher), and has incarcerated as many as a quarter million more in camps surrounded with razor wire. [...] Bob Morris on May 18, 2009, 6:45 am Yes, California needs more water. So,the largest desalination plant in the northern hemisphere has been approved for Carlsbad, California. But how feasible is it? Desal requires enormous amounts of energy to operate and dumps the salt back into the ocean, which can’t be healthy for it long-term. Reclaiming gray water and intelligent conservation would go [...] | IVN articles by Bob Morris
