Study Faults E.P.A. for Toxic Wastewater Spill in Colorado Rockies

The big accident could have been averted if the agency had had greater expertise and acted more prudently, a government report said.

A turf battle has become public.

The Department of the Interior has been demonstrated to be incompetent.
Their proper cure is to do the job they were assigned.

Review: The Scent Lures You to 28 BBQ Churrasqueira in Bound Brook

The intoxicating scent of grilling meat at 28 BBQ Churrasqueira is from chicken, short ribs, spare ribs and steak, grilled over a 22-foot charcoal pit.

A Whiff of Intrigue as Vatican Disputes ‘Unfounded’ Report on Pope Francis’ Health

A report published by an Italian newspaper that said the pope had a treatable brain tumor fueled suspicion about Francis’ health, which the Vatican denied.

The trouble is political.
My guess is the report is an attempt to break Francis' coalition in the curia.

San Francisco May Let Bicyclists Yield at Stop Signs

A proposed ordinance has raised long-simmering tensions between drivers and cyclists, but bicycle advocates hope it could be a breakthrough for such laws.

Let the debate be buried under other matters.
In traffic a bicycle beats all other transport.
The police would have to work more.
In traffic a bicycle stops at stop signs on pain of death.
On empty streets there are no complaints.
Hitting a pedestrian with a bicycle will ruin both persons whole day.
Count the bicycle pedestrian accidents.
