Why the personal attack?

I remember these cooling towers being like six stories high. The heated coolant was "sprayed" Billagio style into the unlined ponds to cool. If the problems in Kettleman City are environmental I'd expect the source to be from here more than I'd expect a modern 25 year old hazardous waste...

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-kroger9-2009dec09,0,5757858.story Kroger also is dealing with the negative effects of food price deflation. The grocery industry operates on a more narrow profit margin than other businesses. For example, if it makes 5%, or 5 cents, on a $1 item, and the...

I wasn't serious in my remark, but I suspect you're right. I think the plan is to start raising rates later in 2010 and keep on tightening till they get them back where they want them "around" 6%.

That's just silly talk. It can never happen because Bernanke doesn't have the "guts" to raise rates. I know this because both Awgee and Winex say it's so, and they "know" because they don't "believe". >:(

There are no dairy cows within 20 miles of Kettleman City, I think. http://www.mindfully.org/Industry/Brockovich-PG&E-Again.htm "Erin Brockovich," starring Julia Roberts, focused on a $333 million settlement stemming from claims that a toxic chemical, chromium 6, leaked from PG&E facilities...

What do you see "flating"? The "stag" I got.

To bring this thread back on topic: Last week, Japan injected some obscene amount of currency into their banking system. Gold rose (okay, maybe) and the dollar got pounded anyway (should of went the other way). Something else is afoot. My speculation is countries running current account...

I think you have this all wrong. I don't dislike your politics one bit. What I dislike is that you spew opinion as facts, and fail to back it up wit data and cites (like over on the gold thread). My politics feels fine, but my intelligence deserves an apology. If you like, I'll simply...

Speculation. Innuendo. Opinion. Spin. And zero facts to back it up. Welcome back Winex! I'll assume for a second you're correct. Bernanke may not need to yank away the punch bowl. Banks are already doing it. From Calculated Risk...

I never imagined the expat Limey would want grub on some good old fashioned USA trailer park eats. LOL.

"Winex does Grimm Fairy Tales" Other famous last words.

I was thinking about the $20K/yr per household income and the total lack of medical services (prenatal or otherwise). My dad was a crop duster. If anyone should have a pool of defective children it's crop dusters. And I know of zero defects in that pool. They also made more money and had...

It's never good to click on the LA Times and see a town you grew up near as the headline. Kettleman City was previously famous for the In N Out off I-5 (before Vegas opened, the busiest in the chain) and a passive being mentioned at the end of Erin Brokovich (they have a superfund site that...

Lord I hope so.

You were? I'm not. I suspect this is exactly why the forums were shut down - turn out the lights and introduce Shevy in the dark. The truth might set you free, but in light of their actions, you have to assume that "mushrooming" is the name of the game. Even if that's true, I'm not going to...

No. Why would I?

How much pressure does the district put on you (as an instructor) in regard to improving API scores?
