The Keystone XL Pipeline By NPR Staff Updated: 1 year ago
President Obama speaks at the southern site of the Keystone XL
pipeline in May in Cushing, Okla. Obama is under pressure to
make a decision on the future of the pipeline during his second
term. Among the difficult decisions facing President Obama is
whether to give the go ahead for the controversial Keystone XL
oil pipeline, which would bring oil from Canada down to
refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. Environmentalists want it
blocked. They are concerned about endangering the Nebraska sand
hills, under which is the largest aquifer in the country. It
provides drinking water and irrigation water for several states.
Oil companies and their supporters, meanwhile, say the pipeline
is in the national interest because it will create thousands of
jobs and make the country more energy independent. In January,
Obama refused to make a decision about the fate of the pipeline,

that plagues many athletes. Learn what it is, what causes and
the pain and how you can stay injury-free. What is it? It is
that first step in the morning that jolts your body with immense
pain, tightness, and a temporary feeling of being crippled until
that part of your foot warms up. Every step you take is painful,
but the pain might go away by the time you are ready to go to
work or do a workout. It will come back when you are sitting at
your desk awhile and you stand up, or you just worked out really
hard, but the pain reminds you that it is here to stay. This is

According to research by Richard Stephens of Keele University's

known as "stress-induced analgesia," more commonly known as
"fight or flight," and with that comes a burst of adrenaline.
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, and it helps you push through

Wilton is pleased to be returning to his young second wife, Emmy
and his two children, Peggy and Eddie, after spending a year in
Europe on national business. To his dismay, there is no one to
meet him at the station except his valet. Everyone in his family
is busy with their own plans. To make matters worse, Emmy has
redecorated his room and thrown out his comfortable old chair.
When, after several days, he still hasn't managed to have an
evening alone with his family, Henry asks his valet why the poor
have such a rich family life and learns that the poor can't
afford to go out every night. This inspires Henry to announce
that he is ruined. Everyone gives up |

a masterpiece One Foot in the Grave is one of the least
suburban, least traditional sitcoms ever made. It's worth
stressing this, because the Daily Mail tends to print Victor
Meldrew's picture whenever there's a piece warning that old-
style BBC 1 sitcoms are on the way out. However often you may
have heard people say "I don't belieeeeve it," there's nothing
safe, cozy, conservative or reactionary about One Foot in the
Grave, and nothing grumpy about Victor Meldrew. Victor
Meldrew's greatness as a character lies in his iconic rather
than realistic nature: he is at once a blue-collar man of the
people and a voice for middle-class frustrations of his creator.
The two jobs we are told he's had in his pre-retirement days - a
security guard, a milkman- and the considerable array he takes
on during the series - a lollipop man, a window cleaner, a
doorman, a chauffeur, a gardener - are blue-collar. He's

It could be worse. That's the good news. After a fifth
straight non-playoff year not to mention 12 years and counting
since the last time Calgary advanced past the first round of the
post-season, it would be hard to picture a more galling set of
circumstances for the Flames to be hiking ticket prices. Yet
worse examples abound. In Chicago last season, the Hawks raised
ice-level seats from $8,000 CDN for a pair to $30,000 CDN,
effectively ejecting people who had held the seats for decades,
then acted surprised when they suffered the largest attendance
drop of any NHL team. Two years ago, after the Stars won the
Stanley Cup, there was a near revolt in Dallas when ticket
prices shot into the stratosphere, but attendance held firm, the
lure being a consistent winner. Therein lies the difference -
winning sells. But there are other difficulties besides

rules and precedents in the classification task. Under this
model, precedents assist rule-based reasoning by
operationalizing abstract rule antecedents. Conversely, rules
assist case-based reasoning through case elaboration, the
process of inferring case facts in order to increase the
similarity between cases, and term reformulation, the process of
relacing a term whose precedents only weakly match a case with
terms whose precedents strongly match the case. Fully exploiting
this complementarity requires a control strategy characterized
by impartiality, the absence of arbitrary ordering restrictions

Unless I missed something, the game throws you into it with no

explanation on what to do? Some are self explanatory... "Jump a

via this ramp." But what about things like Team Race? Is it just
a race? Why did my team lose even though I got first place?
This stacked on top of it being INCREDIBLY easy to be wrecked by
other players makes for a very confusing clusterfuck of an
experience. Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide or
something that explains how this all works? And is it possible
to do simple races? I would love to be able to hop on and play a

middle-class peers. (In reality, most people, rich and poor,
probably prefer a 70/30 split in favor of the middle class.) But
few middle-class parents will agree to be the first ones to

gentrifying, though, many middle-class parents will join

set itself becomes progressively more senior. The number of age

asked me to notarize a letter that includes the phrase
“subscribed and sworn to me this __ day of _____.” Would I use a
California Jurat or a California all-purpose certificate of
acknowledgment for this notarization?E.F., Santa Barbara, CA
The phrase “Subscribed and Sworn” indicates that a jurat should
be used for this notarization. However, since Notaries are
ministerial officials, the document signer must tell you what
type of notarization they need. It is OK for you to describe the
differences between acknowledgments and jurats. For more
information on this topic, we encourage you to check out the
NNA’s recent webinar titled “Acknowledgements and Jurats—What’s
the Difference?” which is part of our “Commonly Asked Questions”
webinar series. The topics covered include: • What are the
similarities and differences between both acts? • How do I
proceed when there is no preprinted notarial wording on a
document that needs a notarization? |
-2.343172 | 5.194389 | -1 | On the surface, refinancing a mortgage to consolidate other
debts is a tempting option. However, there are potential
drawbacks you need to account for in order to make refinancing
and debt consolidation work for you. The obvious appeal is that
mortgage rates are usually lower than interest rates on other
forms of debt. If you have equity in your home, refinancing can
let you borrow against some of that equity to pay off other
debts, such as credit card debt and personal loans. According to
the Federal Reserve, when 30-year mortgage rates were at 4.20
percent recently, credit cards were being charged an average of
13.14 percent. So the potential to lower the interest rate on
your debt is clear. In addition, debt consolidation can simplify
your finances by replacing multiple payments with a single
mortgage payment. So what are the downsides of refinancing to
consolidate debt? For one thing, it raises the stakes. While
credit card debt and other obligations generally cannot result
in any claims against your ho |

Archive/Getty Images A glance at the beverage aisle in any
supermarket makes it pretty clear that sports drinks are growing
in popularity. You can find a myriad of brands and flavors, and
they all promise to improve performance, but who invented these
brightly colored beverages? Were they always neon-colored with
names like Arctic Blast? And does your average exerciser need
sports drinks to replenish during or after a workout? Gatorade
generally gets credit as the first sports drink, but there was
actually a sports drink on the market in the U.K. decades before
this iconic brand: Lucozade. A chemist named William Owen
developed Lucozade in 1927, and the initial purpose of the
glucose-and-water mixture was to provide an easy source of
calories and energy for people who were ill. In fact, because of

-2.049271 | 0.980943 | 101 | Dummy corporation A dummy corporation, otherwise known as a
dummy company, is one which appears to be an actual company.
However, it is primarily established for the purpose of
concealing one or more companies. As such, it is not capable of
operating on its own. Aside from concealment of the true
identities of real companies, dummy corporations also function
to aid them in avoiding taxes. By creating such entities,
companies may be able to mislead the public regarding their
actual financial condition. Dummy corporations may also be
created due to political reasons. If, for example, a company
intends to embark on a specific financial strategy but has
reason to believe that other entities might block such
developments, it may deflect attention from itself by letting
the dummy corporation act covertly on its behalf. In certain
situations, special interest or cause-oriented organizations may
also set up dummy corporations in order to advance their cause.
Governments can also engage in such activities, either |
