Israel does allow extradition. It has been in force since December 5, 1963. In 1978, the Knesset passed the Offenses Committed Abroad Act. It eliminated extradition of Israeli citizens. Crimes committed by Israeli citizens abroad could be prosecuted in Israel. The Extradition Act was thus amended so that no Israeli citizen could be extradited except for offenses committed before he/she obtained citizenship. In April, 1999, the Knesset passed an Amendment Number 6 to the Extradition Act, which permitted the extradition of Israeli citizens who had committed crimes abroad.— October 4, 2012 9:04 a.m.

Mary Hoffman takes on CPUC
Agreed: “I wish someone would give me one shred of neutral evidence that financial innovation has led to economic growth — one shred of evidence.” -Paul Volcker, Former Federal Reserve Chairman— October 2, 2012 10:04 a.m.
Mary Hoffman takes on CPUC
I don't think Volker said it was the last great invention, I think he said it was the most important financial invention he had seen. I read it in the WSJ, but I'm just too lazy at this point to look it up.— September 30, 2012 9:14 p.m.

You know, I could swear that not too long ago, a couple of months maybe, the bankruptcy judge signed the final order finally approving the reorganization plan. That would allow them to try for FCC approval to transfer its broadcast licenses to the new owners. and that they would officially exit chapter 11 late this year or early next year. I wonder how much of a haircut Sam Zell took, though I guess when you're worth $3.8 billion, it's no big deal.— September 29, 2012 8:58 p.m.
San Onofre still costing customers, Del Mar calls for public meetings on nuclear plant's woes
So What?? What are you, some kind of an indolent hanger-on? Do you not understand the basic tenets of presentation and persuasion? Do you not understand the importance of clarity AND accuracy of information and/or evidence are equally essential when trying to support your position? The goal is to present the better argument AND make the other sides argument appear weak and less reasonable. I realize it's only 1 little "adlib", as it were, to emphasize your own personal position. But look at the larger, global picture. One little "adlib", with even the slightest inaccuracy will be latched upon by those in the opposition as a way to discredit the accuracy and validity of the argument, thereby turning it into a fissure in which they can jam their apposing arguments. The idea is to present the absolute best argument you can while at the same time attacking the arguments of the other side. No room for even the smallest “ad lib” in a debate of this critical importance. My own personal feeling is that if someone overlooks a detail, no matter how small, in something of relatively small import, that person usually will do the same when the stakes are higher. Perhaps my dad said it more succinctly when I was a kid: If I can’t trust you with the little stuff, then I can’t trust you with the big stuff. Is there anything bigger than the future of the planet? As for a relevant comment on the topic, well let’s just say the both my wife and I have been involved in the anti-nuclear movement since the 70’s. We were part of the largest non-violent civil disobedience actions in US history, the blockade of Diablo Canyon. We have owned a condo in Dana Point for a couple of years and made a point of being there in March to attend the “protest” as San O. We made the drive from LA; did you come up from San Diego? Unfortunately, I have to say it was a pitiful protest with at best a couple of hundred people showing up. A far cry from the 15-20k of us that showed up about 30yrs ago. So what do I think? I think construction should have been terminated 30 yrs ago and now that it’s in a non-operational status, I think it should be decommissioned and dismantled; the only problem is where to put the fuel. A final comment: As I said, we have been part of the anti-nuclear movement for over 30 yrs, supporting it with both our time and money, and quite frankly, the participation today is pitiful. That 15-20k could show up while a facility was being constructed, when it was 3-4 yrs from going online, and only a couple of hundred , if that, show up to protest the same facility after it was shut down due to malfunction absolutely blows my mind. No Nukes was a serious movement of thousands trying to make a change. Today, you get 25 people showing up at a meeting and maybe a couple of hundred showing up a protest. I’ve seen more people than that show up for the opening of a 99cent store. You tell me. What do you think that portends for our future?— September 29, 2012 7:40 p.m.
San Onofre still costing customers, Del Mar calls for public meetings on nuclear plant's woes
I was referring to your "The #1 US Nuclear Safety Concern ==> San Onofre Nuclear Waste Generating Station" The actual headline is "The Number 1 US Nuclear Safety Concern ==> San Onofre's Replacement Steam Generators", which is there in the link YOU posted.— September 28, 2012 10:46 p.m.

This should be: "The Number 1 US Nuclear Safety Concern ==> San Onofre's Replacement Steam Generators" FYI, anytime you are supporting a cause, the posting of incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate information only aids the opposition.— September 28, 2012 6:12 p.m.

I have no way of proving it, but I am almost certain that fumber was a sock puppet for someone that still posts here occasionally, someone who used to spar with surfpuppy619 on a regular basis when he was posting under his johnnyvegas persona. I noticed quite a while ago that all traces of fumber have been scrubbed from the site. Like I said, I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure.— September 28, 2012 8:31 a.m.
