I think you have this reversed: Oil companies (most owned by governments)... That should be: Governments (mostly owned by oil companies)... ;)

"Understand that even though you are not a criminal, some people might assume you are, especially if you are wearing certain clothes. Never argue with police, but protect your dignity and take pride in humility. When confronted by someone with a badge or a gun, do not flee, fight, or put your hands anywhere other than up." Some good words to stay alive by - for anyone of any race.

Why were the crossing arms "coming down" when the train was already there? Shouldn't they already be down before the train gets to the intersection?

Wow - from that picture KOMO used exactly the right word when they said: "miraculously no one was seriously hurt."

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Baristas claim they were laid off because of their age | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, S

I posted the below in another response before I saw your post. I think it would help your business if you straightened out your signals. Is this stand a bikini/lingerie place or not?: ------- I drive by this stand on a regular basis. With the name "Hot Java" and the drawing of a sexy woman on it, I just always assumed it was a "bikini" type of place. Since that isn't what I am looking for, I've never stopped there. (I'm not judging those type of places - just not my thing.) Maybe this is part of the sales problem. I'll bet guys stop there expecting to see bikini's and don't come back a second time when they are disappointed. Other people never go there in the first place because it looks like a bikini place.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Phishing scammers claim to represent Wells-Fargo | Consumer News | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Br

The multiple texts I got were easy to ignore - I don't have any Wells Fargo card so I knew it was a scam. However, a couple of nights ago I got a call in the middle of the night. That ticked me off!!! Sure would like to see the jerks caught.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : With \'Kindle Fire,\' Amazon takes on Apple | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Brea

1) I use Amazons android market for my phone almost exclusively. So no loss there. 2) Agree but MAYBE Amazon will keep up? If it's a popular tablet and people demand it then they probably will. 3) That's the biggest problem to me too. On the other hand, there is a USB port. So, adding external USB drives should be possible. I've preordered. At this price point I feel I can take a chance.

I want to know how Bill picked up an extra 5 billion in this economy. It sure wasn't from Microsoft stock - that's been a dog for years now.

Well, the story does say he was born in the middle east. Other than that, I agree with you.

Which is the cause and which is the effect? Is the marriage happier because the woman is thinner? Or is the woman thinner because the marriage is happy and she doesn't feel the need to overeat?

>It doesn't really matter ...your only gonna get what your offered. I believe they are talking about sales prices, not asking prices. Yes, 0.1% is an insignificant rise. However, it's still news because the prices are not LOWER for the first time in a long time.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Hiller: \'I think I am eminently qualified\' | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO N

Seriously?! I'm not saying you are wrong since you are saying you are one but it sure doesn't fit with what I have read. One E.G.: http://www1.salary.com/Physician-Family-Practice-... IF this data is reliable (and it is at least close to what other web sites say), anything less than $135,000 is below the 10 percentile mark for a GP. If you are earning less than $94,000 for a full time job as a physician, you are a very generous person!

$87,500, not $94,000 (http://www.komonews.com/news/local/122072124.html) and actually, cops and firefighters make MORE than both those numbers. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2... 2010 median for Seattle Firefighters: $99, 068 2010 median for Seattle Police: $96,336. The difference is the police and firefighters are completely WORTH IT!

What the heck is wrong with our criminal system? He should have been tried and put away months and months ago. Why does it take years to bring someone, so clearly guilty, to justice?

Nope. He captured the night sky as seen from earth. This includes the Milky Way, but also includes much more.

OK, so KOMO didn't use the precisely correct words. As stated on the linked website, http://skysurvey.org/ , the goal was "meant to reveal the entire night sky". I think Nick Risinger did a pretty incredible job of that!
