BANGKOK (Reuters) - A proposed new law to boost patriotism in Thailand would be "chaotic" because it would require motorists to stop when the national anthem is played twice a day, lawmakers said Friday.

A vote on the Flag Bill proposed by a group of retired and active duty generals in the army-appointed parliament etc. etc.

Вот такие вещи, как мне кажется, убедительнее всего свидетельствуют о подлинном единстве человечества!

Minorities hit hardest by housing crisis -- вычислило агенство Ройтерз. Если вы собираетесь пойти по этой ссылке, чтобы проверить, правда ли негры держали больше mortgage-backed securities, чем белые -- не тратьте зря время.

P.S. Does the 90047 zip code have a high foreclosure rate because African Americans were forced into high-cost loans?

Берем на заметку новое неслово. to force, глагол: ничего не значит.

Dr. Jill Glick, head of the child protection unit at the University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital.

Much of her work involves ferreting out information to pass along to the Department of Children and Family Services, police and prosecutors.

У нее, наверное, и пациенты есть, или по крайней мере были. В общем, выходит, что детей нельзя вести к врачу, пока не соберешь на него достоверное досье на этот счет.

dealbreaker.com: This is the closest we’ve ever come to a NSFW acquisition by a public company. Dick's Sporting Goods is picking up Chick's Sporting Goods, which is privately held. Dick's will pay $40 million in cash and assume around $31 million of indebtedness. There’s also a provision for an additional $5 million payout if Chick’s performs well. Which is probably another dirty joke in itself.
