Walmarts nuclear blunder: Retailer mishandled radioactive exit signs — DailyFinance __ Radioactive signage. Cripes. What next?

Walmart isnt the only retailer getting targeted by the NRC for questionable disposal of tritium-based exit signs. Sixty other companies, including Home Depot HD, Northwest Airlines DAL and Bed, Bath and Beyond BBBY are also facing investigation. And, lest it appear that the government is unfairly targeting commercial and industrial groups, its worth noting that NASA, West Point, the U.S. Postal Service and dozens of other government-owned and administered facilities are also facing investigation by the NRC.

Sportscaster Nantz to pay ex-wife $916K a year – FOX Sports on MSN Apparently I went into the wrong business. As for Nantz being the nations most prominent sportscaster. Oh really?

CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz must pay $916,000 yearly in alimony and child support to his ex-wife and give up their Connecticut home under terms of a newly issued divorce decree.
The ruling, made Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court, dissolves the 26-year marriage of Nantz and Ann-Lorraine “Lorrie” Carlsen Nantz. It comes after both testified about the breakdown of their marriage; Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.Jim Nantz. Michael Conroy, File / Associated PressNantz, described by Owens as “our nation’s most prominent sportscaster,” filed for divorce last year from his wife after years of marriage counseling, according to the decree.Although Nantz, 50, acknowledged he started dating a 29-year-old woman before the divorce was final, the judge concluded the marriage deteriorated years earlier and “this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.”

This was at Sea-Tac airport today! Home airport of Microsoft. The message said it was running low on virtual memory. Ironic.

IS the guy in the Zoot suit Obama?

I have always been under the impression that much of the global warming intent is to push the Vegan agenda and this is a big part of it. One meme going around is a vegetarian driving a hummer has less of a carbon footprint than a guy in a Prius who ate a burger.

People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases.He predicted that people’s attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable.
