they didn't meet the agreement and their "reductions" include "carbon offsets"---if they claim to have bought greenhouse projects in Congo they say their output in the Ruhr doesn't count

You start out with $100,000 simulated cash.  You can simulate buy and sell orders as if you were actually spending money.  The stocks rise and fall with the real NYSE.  If your stocks are worth enough, you can start borrowing money too, to buy more stocks.   You can directly order a buy or sell, or you can tell the program to sell a stock when the price hits a certain value.  You're trying to improve your total net worth from $100,000. 

In the first game, for some while I was at a net worth of $94,000 and I ended up with no cash but a total net worth of $128,452 in stocks.  Einstein had about 9 different stocks. 

I lucked out because blue chip stocks had a slump for a while due to oil.  But I put my stocks into deeply undervalued marginal stocks that were bound to recover, and CSX rail.  With Oil so pricey US rail is taking a lot of business from trucks.

Actually that isn't luck.  It's cold calculation.  Yes. Yes that's it.  I sat here like James Bond, immaculate in a cobalt blue tux, coolly smoking a cigarette, raking it in.  That's the image of me.  Not some guy in his underwear holding shareholders conferences with dolls made of dead flowers.

Woman, 52, sues Victoria's Secret, claims injury from defective thong
JUNE 17--As she was attempting to put on a Victoria's Secret thong, a Los Angeles woman claims that a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries and a new product liability lawsuit against the underwear giant. Macrida Patterson, 52, alleges that she was hurt last May by a defective "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret "Sexy Little Thing" line, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. A copy of her June 9 complaint, which does not specify monetary damages, can be found below. Patterson's lawyer, Jason Buccat, told TSG that a "design problem" caused the decorative piece to come loose and strike Patterson in the eye, causing damage to her cornea. He added that the eye injury, which caused Patterson to miss a few days of work, will be "affecting her the rest of her life." Patterson is a traffic officer with L.A.'s Department of Transportation. Prior to the lawsuit's filing, Victoria's Secret officials asked to examine the garment and the decorative piece, but that request was rejected by Patterson's counsel. For those unfamiliar with "v-strings," the undergarment is the Victoria's Secret variant on the "g-string," which has long been favored in the battle against visible panty lines. (4 pages)

I love that.  "Attempting to put on"--most of us probably don't consider wearing underwear an activity with a risk of failure.

At what point in the panty-application process do you snap the panty so that stuff flies off it at speed towards your face?  I could see if it burst or something, a seam opened and then a flashing roar of torn fabric, a loud crack as the edges broke the speed of sound, and debris hurled into the ceiling and walls.  Slowly people pick themselves off the floor, one of them ass-naked and holding her eye...

HA HA HA The Lakers will NOT allow the general public to buy seats inside Staples Center and watch the big game on the big screens from the Lakers home stadium in Los Angeles "after consulting with local law enforcement"

yeah downtown LA has burned enough for a while...

NO EXCUSES these guys whomped the Sonics by 30 points that isn't even a contest so they have no excuse to blow a 24 point lead at the half.  None.  They lack moral fiber, Jackson should have them meditate under mountain waterfalls naked and other samurai crap, their minds bent under the pressure.  Time for some Happy Gilmore training to restore confidence!

mmm maybe just ram it down everybody's throats?

>>Its interesting how a man getting eaten by lions can still seem dull<<

Yeah I was laughing at that in the theater, the lady was "What kind of terrorists ARE these?" and I said "What, the one holding the camera?"

but that was gripping cinema compared to the man running himself over with the lawnmower.  I thought he was going to go into the garage and put in some motor oil and then sharpen the blades a bit...

it could be a small meteorite that vaporized in the compressed atmosphere.  we're barely able to model what compression does to our atmosphere.

last decade a 70-ton slab of rock fell a few hundred feet in Yosemite.  Rangers were suprised to find trees around the rock flattened, because there was no solid debris.  But what happened was the air under the flat massive slab was compressed as it fell and it blew out in a shockwave hardy enough to topple meter thick pines.

it wouldn't take much mass to give off the explosive and thermal effects of an atomic bomb. See "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".
