    NBC trying to keep Brian Williams - but maybe not as 'Nightly News' anchor

    Only reason they want to keep him is because they don't want to pay the money to buy out his contract. 50 mil if remember right.

    Oil pipeline spills about 21K gallons off California coast

    Not dismissal, just adding perspective to prevent the ignorant from over blowing the significance of the event. Spill will be cleaned up and the location for it actually ideal because of the prevalence of oil consuming microorganisms due to the natural seeps. So the ecosystem will recover...

    Casinos, strips clubs received $3 million in Pentagon credit card spending

    You do realize that the individual members had to pay the credit card back, right? I'm not excusing the misuse, you get briefed on the do's and don'ts for government travel card use so they clearly violated policy but its not as if this is some DOD perk for its members.

    Letting Shell drill in Arctic could lead to catastrophic oil spill, experts warn

    This implies that the what insurers insist on is equal to or less than current safety and environmental protection regulations. Its a simple fact that they're not. The vetting by insurers pale in comparison. Most require the companies to go above and beyond regulatory requirements.

    Tom Brady, Patriots get hammered by NFL in deflate-gate punishment[W:189]

    Frankly, the Pats would have likely been in the Superbowl whether they were doing this or not. The would have beat the Colt regardless. It can give a slight advantage, not guarantee a win. And since the ball discrepancy was discovered during a playoff game, I'm sure this was thoroughly...

    Tom Brady, Patriots get hammered by NFL in deflate-gate punishment[W:189]

    They actually did. "More probable than not" means a preponderance of evidence. Strangely enough, the NFL started using the language to soften the image of "guilty" following the Pats' Spygate investigation. “More probable than not” carries important legal meaning | ProFootballTalk

    Pentagon accused of withholding data on sex assaults at US bases

    Frankly, the conviction and report rates are far better than the civilian sector. Reporting is up, anonymous survey indicates incidents are down. The military has the same problems with proving sexual assault as the civilian courts do. It boils down to he said/she said in most cases. Is it...

    Hercules Offshore has cut 40 percent of workforce amid low oil

    Its called long term planning. Drill the well while you have the equipment on site and cap the wells. When the cost goes up again, and it will, you have well ready to go. This is relatively normal procedure when dealing with a commodity.
