06/11/2012 Daniel B. Moskowitz
To increase funding for cancer research, should tobacco products be taxed
more? The California vote remains too close to call.
It's a cliff-hanger. On June 5, California voters were asked to consider a
proposal to add a $1-per-pack tax on cigarette sales in the state, with the
revenue going to fund biomedical research. Following the preliminary vote
counts on election night, the plan, called Proposition 29, appeared to have

English Dictionary defines a bubble as “anything fragile, unsubstantial,
empty, or worthless; a deceptive show. From 17th c. onwards often applied to
delusive commercial or financial schemes.” The problem is that words like
“show” and “scheme” suggest a deliberate creation, rather than a
widespread social phenomenon that is not... 阅读全帖 |

alleged co-conspirator Robert Faiella, sold more than $1 million worth of
bitcoins to Silk Road customers. Faiella, a Florida man who allegedly runs
an underground Bitcoin exchanger using the alias BTCKing, was also arrested.

发帖数: 169 | 44 伊利运河是一条位于美国纽约州的运河，连接哈德逊河与伊利湖，将五大湖与大西洋水
域连接起来，现在属于纽约州运河系统。伊利运河最初是在1699年被提出兴建的提案，
但是一直到1798年才由尼亚加拉运河公司开始准备兴建。运河的第一段在1819年完工，
整段运河则在1825年10月26日开放通行。伊利运河的全长为584千米（363英里），整条
运河的为12米（39英尺）宽、1.2米（4英尺）深。整条运河总共有83个水闸，每个水闸
有27米乘4.5米（90英尺乘15英尺），最高可以行驶排水量68公吨（75吨）的平底驳船
。伊利运河是第一条提供美国东海岸与西部内陆的快速运输工具，这比当时最常用的以
动物拉动的拖车还快许多。伊利运河不只加快运输的速度，也将沿岸地区与内陆地区的
运输成本减少了95%。快捷的运河交通使得纽约州西部更便于到达，因此也造成中西部
的人口快速成长。
伊利运河的寿命很短,刚刚让资本家赚爆,火车就出现了.
伊利运河跟中国古代的运河不同，就是一条大水沟,很窄很浅，但这是美国工业现代化
的第一条高速通道。
第一条横贯大陆铁路（First Transcontinental Railro... 阅读全帖 |

representing the state.
But it took his move into the White House for a number of those in South
Chicago to discover what they really think about him.
“He’s going to go down as being one of the worst presidents. Ever!” said
one man. “If he cannot pay attention to Chicago and the African-American
community he needs to resign.”
