“Solar Impulse 2 grounded in Hawaii: ‘Irreversible’ battery damage sustained during Pacific flight may mean the plane will miss the window for its Atlantic leg”
“The Solar Impulse 2 suffered ‘irreversible’ damage to its batteries during its five-day flight from Japan to Hawaii
Parts now need to be repaired and replaced, which could take ‘several weeks to work through’
It is the trip’s latest delay and it may also cause the plane to miss its weather window to cross the Atlantic
This could mean the round-the-world mission would be grounded in New York until at least Spring next year” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3159160/Solar-Impulse-2-grounded-Hawaii-Irreversible-battery-damage-sustained-Pacific-flight-mean-plane-miss-window-Atlantic-leg.html

Rail versus pipeline. The author writes that on the face of it pipes are a slam dunk. He adds not so. Pipeline oil needs a diluent added to make crude flow, 72 percent bitumen, 28 percent diluent. Ordinary tank cars need the same, but coil steam heated tankers need 83 percent bitumen, 17 percent diluent.
The cost breakdown of pipeline versus tank car by Randy Meyer, vice president of business development and logistics for Altex Energy. The cost of piplining from Fort McMurray, Alta to the Gulf Coast at $24.79 to $29 a barrel, versus $22.41 for unit trains of raw bitumen.
Another analysis talked about in the article by a different information and consulting company published in 2013 gives more detailed but similar results.
This article adds another dimension to the debate, and this aspect of the debate is never talked about in the MSM. Only the emotional political aspect is talked about. Warren buffet knew what he was doing when he invested in BNSF.
Newt Gingrich is in!
Another straight talker.
I predicted he’d enter the race when he took the gig at CNN. That said, I don’t see a path to the nomination for him, as I can’t see how he can get in the debate.
He missed his chance; unfortunatly for us.
Victims of Communism Memorial:
“Memorial gets funding boost from former communist countries”
“Last week, the government of the Czech Republic quietly decided it would give 400,000 Czech crowns — a little more than $20,000 — to Tribute to Liberty, the charity seeking to have the monument built. Earlier this year, the government of Latvia donated 10,000 euros, or roughly $14,000, to the charity.” http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/victims-of-communism-memorial-gets-funding-boost-from-two-eastern-european-governments
Big-time theft of *fingerprints.*
“July 14, 2015 The Office of Personnel Management announced last week that the personal data for 21.5 million people had been stolen. But for national security professionals and cybersecurity experts, the more troubling issue is the theft of 1.1 million fingerprints.
Much of their concern rests with the permanent nature of fingerprints and the uncertainty about just how the hackers intend to use them. Unlike a Social Security number, address, or password, fingerprints cannot be changed—once they are hacked, they’re hacked for good. And government officials have less understanding about what adversaries could do or want to do with fingerprints, a knowledge gap that undergirds just how frightening many view the mass lifting of them from OPM.
‘It’s probably the biggest counterintelligence threat in my lifetime,’ said Jim Penrose, former chief of the Operational Discovery Center at the National Security Agency and now an executive vice president at the cybersecurity company Darktrace. ‘There’s no situation we’ve had like this before, the compromise of our fingerprints. And it doesn’t have any easy remedy or fix in the world of intelligence.’ ” http://www.nationaljournal.com/tech/opm-hack-fingerprints-china-20150714
