I don't understand this article. When a battery is spent, what use is it except as a really toxic paper weight? This article makes it sound like when an EV (Electric Vehicle) battery is used up, it's not used up at all and it can be re-purposed. Well, then why would I stop using it in my crappy EV?

This story is clearly a puff piece for the EV industry, AKA the New GM, AKA Government Motors, AKA the Obama regime.

Survive a TSA Screening - Wired How-To Wiki: "It's not clear how far legally such a search can go. For example, could the TSA require a cavity search and if you refused one, could you be fined? That's an unknown legal question."

With this kind of question out there, who'd want to fly ever again under this administration? Makes me long for the time when the Patriot Act was considered invasive.

Sounds like extortion, doesn't it? "Don't you dare think about passing laws that discourage an already illegal activity!"

Corps endorses flood-protection for east side: "In a crucial meeting and vote this afternoon, the Army Corps of Engineers’ Civil Works Review Board in Washington, D.C., endorsed on a 5-0 vote a flood-protection plan for Cedar Rapids that will move..."

Every time I read Corps I think of our president. Instead of saying "core" for corps he reads the teleprompter and says "corpse." He's done it several times now. I can't believe nobody has told him. Maybe they're just too scared to.

Of course there is no failure on the part of the government, at least not under the Obama administration. Never mind the approvals given before, and never mind the response, or lack of, from the government. It was at least a week before they would even admit there was a problem, and then they sent s.w.a.t. teams, because why? Were they going to shoot the oil out of the water?

Residents of Missouri Town Block Protesters From Picketing Soldier's Funeral - FoxNews.com: "The residents sought to block Fred Phelps, leader of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., and his followers from picketing Sadell’s funeral, according to the station."

I am very glad to see this happening. We need to go further than blocking these idiots. I think their funders need to be attacked in all legal ways. I wouldn't be opposed to going after the individual protesters themselves by calling attention to them and causing as much pain and suffering on them as they cause on these families, in only legal ways of course.

Just more shifting of debt. We haven't even begun eliminating it. We'll need a real recovery for that.
