Every news website u hit on the internet u are likely to read a column about newly relesed Eco friendly hybrid sedan cars, hydrogen fule based cars , Ethanol fuel cars and list goes on .But in reality these cars are far from a bulk production and I suppose at least it will take another 5 to 10 years to hit the road ( though some are avilable in the market with sky high prize) . On the other hand , fuel prize is soring and majority of the gas stations (petro banks) are owned by MPS ,MLAs and their relatives . Can u imagine politicians supporting such a move of subsidizing the prize of the new cars which would be affordable for a common man ? Do u think our politicians give a f%%% about reducing the Co2 emmision? If not, then whats the whole point in this drama which is far from reality at least in Indian market?
Do u think our politicians will allow this hybrid car drama to survive in Indian market?

Are rural contract postal carriers required to deliver bulk mail?
We are a non-profit that sends bulk mail to rural delivery routes handled by contracted carriers. It seems like a fair number of our bulk mailing letters are not getting delivered. I recently heard that contracted carriers are not required to deliver bulk mail – its optional. I’m looking for someone that knows whether this is true or not.
market buys items and sells as there own. illegal?
I worked for this market and they recently fired me and the place is a goldmine and it pisses me off because half of there stuff they just buy in bulk and sell it as there own “homemade”. is this illegal? what could I do?
they for example buy a bunch of olive oil that you would buy at the store but in big tins then they fill it up in bottles and put there own label on it and claim it to be there own.

HOUSTON (AP) – BP PLC is taking a multimillion dollar broom to sweep away a slew of federal charges linked to energy price fixing, a deadly refinery blast and pipeline leaks and focus on its energy business.
The more than $373 million in settlements announced Thursday are part of the company’s attempt to get rid of the problems left over from the stewardship of former chief executive John Browne and move ahead with the recently announced restructuring of Europe’s second-largest oil company.
On top of the fines and restitution, four former BP employees were indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago on 20 counts of mail and wire fraud connected to a scheme to manipulate energy markets.
The bulk of the fines – $303.5 million – aim to punish BP for conspiring to fix propane prices in 2003 and 2004.
London-based BP also agreed to pay a $50 million fine and plead guilty to a felony for its role in a 2005 explosion at its Texas City refinery that killed 15 employees and injured more than 170 others.
Additionally, it will pay $20 million in criminal fines and restitution to Alaska and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for pipeline leaks and spills at Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, the nation’s largest oil field.
The settlements were made public at U.S. Justice Department news conferences in Washington and Houston.
“These agreements are an admission that, in these instances, our operations failed to meet our own standards and the requirements of the law,” Bob Malone, president and chairman of Houston-based BP America, said in a statement. “For that, we apologize.”
The chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. John Dingell , criticized the amount BP will pay to settle the Texas City charge.
“I note with curiosity that when an average citizen commits a felony it usually leads to a prison sentence. Yet, apparently, when a big oil company commits a felony that causes 15 deaths, it pays a criminal penalty equal to less than a day’s corporate profits,” the Michigan Democrat said.
BP reported an adjusted net profit of $22 billion in 2006, or about $60 million per day.
