“I am not afraid of bullets but of the speed they travel at” – Mexican saying

It turns out now Mexico has a gun problem, this is something new and certainly is something you don’t see a lot of people worried about down here. Yes there its a lot of violence around here, mostly drug dealers killing other drug dealers, but not really average citizen. But it would be as having a cars problem because drunk driving.

Now I am in favor of legalizing drugs, at least for a while to see how it turns out, but what really bothers me its how well orgainzed its the drug dealing in the USA.

For the size of the drugs consumption on the USA you need a big logistics operation just like in any business…so how come they do not name the big players of this operation? should we belive that all those cartels are run from Latinamerica?

How come there is never big shipments seized? I mean in a weekend just in NYC they should consume several tons of drugs. In Mexico every once in a while the police bust full containers with tons of drugs, and soldiers die, and drug delears are busted with guns and lots of money.

You mean the minute that these containers reach the border they are transfer to hundreds of cars and vans with small carriers to take them to every major city in the USA? These would be a cost and logistics nightmare.

I do not know what happens, but it sounds fishy to me, its seems this is just something that is done to increase the final price of the product and make a great business of the whole thing for the big players in this business that no one knows who they are and never are hit with shipments lost by the police.

AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas plant physiologist Jerry Brand has spent the past decade lovingly tending the world’s largest collection of pond scum.

Now the quest for renewable energy has made Mr. Brand and his algae hot commodities.

Crowds hostile about the state of America’s auto industry have made presenting at auto shows a much trickier job than it used to be, the New York Times reports. The eye-candy models at scaled-back exhibits from General Motors and Chrysler are fielding questions during the ongoing New York event about the bailout, bankruptcy, corporate governance, and even the role of gas-guzzlers in causing the Iraq war.

President Obama yesterday announced plans to buy 17,600 American-made, fuel-efficient cars and hybrids for the government fleet, the White House’s latest gambit to steer aid to the nation’s beleaguered automakers.

They’d better stay away from the New York auto show this week because there they will see car manufacturers showing off their latest off-road contenders, and the majority of the new models unveiled at the show’s press preview earlier this week were SUVs or crossovers. Why? Because while these vehicles may have been declared dead in Manhattan, the residents of the Fly-Over states have kept buying them (to the extent that anyone is buying anything more than food and water these days).

The most advanced piece of technology in a Nascar vehicle these days isn’t its engine, its suspension or anything made of carbon fiber. It’s the motor oil.

Joe Gibbs Racing, a team that owns three top-level Sprint Cup cars, has spent about $1 million a year over the past decade to perfect its motor oil. As a result, its engines have squeezed out an extra 10 horsepower, a roughly 2% increase that can be a serious advantage in Nascar races, where the typical margin of victory is about one second.

Insurance regulators and safety activists are alarmed at what they describe as a stunning rise in the number of drivers who are cutting back or even dropping their auto insurance to save money during the recession.

Taking the world’s cheapest car out for its first public test drive by a journalist makes for a surprisingly smooth ride. Thrifty transport is not meant to be this comfortable. Tata’s Nano purrs from zero to 40mph in eight seconds and its gearbox changes with ease. The brakes are solid, bringing the car to halt smartly.
