...rate the amount of harmful CO2 released into the air. It's all very confusing and is likely to get even worse, according to Eggert, who doesn't "even bother" with GM's 230-m.p.g. claim. "We ignore such claims entirely," he says. "We look at total energy consumed so we can figure out how much greenhouse gas is being emitted into the air." That is, the industry may be moving from miles per gallon to miles per bucket of soot or, in ARB's case, grams of CO2 per mile. For example, ARB rates a Ford Explorer...
...with the burgeoning numbers. But some working in the prison system say the difficulties in the controlling the inmates will not be solved by raising more jail houses; the crisis, they say, also stems from profound problems in Mexico's justice apparatus. More than 41% of the nation's total prison population of 220,000 has not even been convicted and sentenced even though many of the prisoners have already spent several years behind bars.

In 2008, Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Foreign Correspondent program revealed that 19 of most recent plane crashes in PNG, in which a total of 16 people were killed, none had been properly investigated. Sadly, it looks like it has take the deaths of another 14 people to prompt a proper inquiry into aviation safety in the country...
...mean to slight the care I received, which was excellent. And fortunately, the total cost for my insurer was about $7,100 after its discount, a small part of which was my co-payment. But had I not been insured, I would have been stuck with the entire $12,000 bill. Reform advocates say charging even $7,100 for something as ordinary as a kidney stone just doesn't make sense and points up what they call the rampant U.S. practice of "defensive medicine": ordering excessive treatment out of fear of being sued for malpractice, which in turn points...
