| By If you drive around Los Angeles, you’ll find gas prices all over the map. From the high $3 range to - yes, it’s true - more than $5 in some spots. And no one is happy about it. "Very upset," Israel Valenzuela said after buying gas for more than $5 a gallon at a Mobil station in Hacienda Heights. "I’m so angry at the government." So why did he pay so much? "Because I was on empty," he said. "It was just on fumes, so I had to stop here." The worst part about it was that Valenzuela could... |

Sources said that the task of actually writing the bills is well underway, but core participants in the regular meetings do not yet know when the bills can be unveiled. The core House group of roughly 10 negotiators is derived from a larger Gang of 100 lawmakers led by Reps. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) and Health Shuler (D-N.C.), who urged the... |
No Christie, No Bargain (NY Time's Tom Friedman Laments Gov. Christie's Decision Not to Run)

| Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey isn’t going to run. That’s too bad. He had a chance to rescue the Republican Party from its dash to the cliff and make President Obama a better leader, too. Here’s why: When the G.O.P. presidential candidates were asked during their debate on Aug. 11 whether any of them would accept a budget deal that involved $10 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases — and they all said no — the Republican Party officially became a danger to itself and to the country. The G.O.P. became a danger to the country... |

Man buys nearly 125,000 bottles of wine at auction for $100

| Ken Jacques just bought nearly 125,000 bottles of wine for $100. That's less than a penny a dozen. And this isn't cheap wine, either. It sells for $9 to $15 a bottle at your local store. It all started when the 46-year-old San Luis Obispo wine distributor was sued. That led to a countersuit, which led to a six-figure monetary award for him, which led to a bizarre auction that ultimately found Jacques bidding alone. Here's how it went down. James Estate Winery in 2002 signed Jacques' company, Evaki Inc., to market its Australian products in the United States. But... |

| LONDON, Oct 10 (IranMania) - A senior Iranian official Sunday denied a report which said Tehran would welcome Senator John Kerry`s proposal for a 'great bargain' to solve dispute over Iran's nuclear program, Iran's State News Agency (IRNA) reported. "US presidential candidate John Kerry`s proposal is part of his electoral campaigning and we are not interested in being drawn into such issues," head of the foreign policy committee at Iran`s Supreme National Security Council Hossein Mousavian said. Reuters news agency had quoted him as having welcomed the proposal, virtually made by vice presidential candidate Senator John Edwards. Edwards had said... |

| TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran would welcome a proposal by U.S. presidential candidate Senator John Kerry's running mate for a "great bargain" to solve the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday. Vice presidential candidate Senator John Edwards has said that Kerry, a Democrat, would be willing to supply Iran with nuclear fuel for power generation if Tehran abandons its own fuel-making capability - if Iran did not accept this offer, it would confirm Iran wanted to make an atom bomb. Iran earlier rejected the proposal, saying it would be "irrational" for Iran to jeopardize what... |
No Bargain

| IN AN INTERVIEW with the Washington Post published yesterday, Democratic vice-presidential nominee John Edwards promised that a Kerry administration would offer a "grand bargain" to the totalitarian theocracy in Iran. This "grand bargain" would allow the Islamic state to keep its nuclear power plants in exchange for a promise to give up the kind of nuclear fuel used to make bombs. This is a dangerous proposal and should receive close scrutiny. First, the Kerry team has apparently learned nothing from the disastrous deal the Clinton administration made with North Korea back in the 1990s. Edwards's proposal for a "grand bargain"... |

ARE LOW-PRICED STOCKS REALLY A BARGAIN?
Monday 28th of May 2012 08:47:11 AM
Posted by admin / Under Bargain Book
| WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With many stocks selling at prices that are mere fractions of what they were a couple of years ago, it seems like a good time to pick up bargains. But many analysts keep talking about how stocks remain overvalued. So, how can you tell when a low price is a bargain and when it's not? The first place to look typically is the earnings, but that's not encouraging right now for reasons that are valid and others that are less so. Stocks still look expensive when their share prices are divided by their annual earnings per share.... |

| Slight Problem with New Submarine - It LeaksFri Mar 8, 7:21 AM ETOTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's decision to buy four cut-price submarines from Britain looked a little soggy after one of the vessels sprang two leaks on its very first training exercise. Commander Bill Woodburn, in charge of Canada's submarines, insisted on Thursday that HMCS Windsor had been in no danger during Monday's exercise. But the problem was a further embarrassment for a purchase that is becoming a public relations nightmare. The Windsor is one of four mothballed diesel-powered submarines that Canada bought from Britain in 1998 for C$750 million... |
