A very simple organized crime scam would be to passively read tourists' addresses as they arrive at a resort, then burglarize their homes while they're away.

Yep, spot on with that one.

 

It's going to be frightening when all this 'security' information about us ends up in the wrong hands.

 

And as far as I see it the wrong hands are both sides of the law. But don't worry folks because if all of this prevents just 'one life being lost' then it will all be worthwhile............

Nuclear is back (a bit)

By? Gwynne Dyer

Thursday, October 21st 2004

 

The worst possible nuclear disasters are not as bad as the worst possible climate change disasters," declared the Centre for Alternative Technology in Britain recently, urging "a modest revival of nuclear energy ... to sell the idea to the sceptics." And while Europeans and North Americans are still reluctant to build new nuclear power stations, recalling the disasters at Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island around two decades ago, Asians have no scepticism: China plans to build two large new nuclear reactors per year for the next 16 years.

 

In the rest of the world, the number of new nuclear reactors under construction barely balances the number being retired at the end of their lives, but it's boom time in Asia: 16 of the 27 nuclear power stations now being built worldwide are in China, India, Japan and South Korea.

There is another factor driving the end user price of Oil higher-Tee-Kay Shipping of Vancouver is the Worlds largest Oil Tanker Owner...this from TK's President Bjorn Moller in todays vancouver Sun..."Spot market shipping rates averaged $31,080 per day for TK tankers in the quarter up from $18,318 a year ago...I've not seen this behaviour before. As long oil demand keeps growing there is no limit to where Tanker rates can go. ..He also added that the number of new Tankers coming into the Fleet each year ISN'T enough to meet demand. We are sailing as fast as we can and bringing Oil to market as fast as we can."

Hmmm, that's code for panic.

 

Diesel prices here in SLC., 2.35 a gallon. 20 cents over ULP.

 

Prices will be heading higher, from what I'm hearing.

Forget Enron, WorldCom or mutual funds. The crisis enveloping the insurance industry is ``the scandal of the decade, without a question'' and ``dwarfs anything we've seen thus far.''

    Says who? None other than former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt.

    The description may sound over the top, but Levitt argues that recent charges of price fixing and kickbacks have implications across the financial system.
