MORE RJ Headline BS
as their headline -
"WMart Stores post loss",
would have YOU believe
Their profit dropped was down 7.4%
but THAT IS NOT "LOSS"
WHY Does the RJ
ever REPORT STUFF WRONG?
HATE - Obviously, the RJ HATES Wmart.
Don't Understand? - Possible, but the Business Editor
whoever it is
should have caught this.
Don't Care? - Probably
they just put anything out there that make the Economy look bad, so the Administration
looks bad.
The SAD thing is
I am the ONLY one writing about it.

Probably WON'T see this in the RJ tomorrow.
(05-16) 11:07 PDT FRESNO -- Two Modesto men are
facing mandatory 20-year prison sentences after being convicted of running a medical-marijuana operation that federal prosecutors labeled a criminal enterprise, authorities said today.
Luke Anthony Scarmazzo, 28, and Ricardo Ruiz Montes, 28, were convicted by a federal jury Fresno on Thursday of conducting a continuing criminal enterprise, growing marijuana and possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute.
The conviction for running a criminal enterprise carries a mandatory sentence of at least 20 years. U.S. District Judge Oliver Wanger is to sentence both men Aug. 4.
Federal officials said the case sends a message to marijuana growers and dealers who believe they are shielded from prosecution under the California law legalizing medical marijuana use.

What is the RJ up to on this story?
And they - Left this OUT -
To ensure those savings,
Honeywell,
Johnson Controls Inc.,
Siemens and
Trane will conduct energy audits of the buildings,
complete the makeovers and
guarantee the energy savings.
If the expected savings are not realized, those companies will pay the difference
or make the changes in the buildings, the foundation said.
The foundation expects the partnership to expand to more cities and companies after the first round.

(5/17/07 - NEW YORK) -
Sixteen cities
around the world will get financing to
"go green" by
renovating buildings they own with
technology designed to cut carbon emissions,
former President Clinton announced Wednesday.
New York,
Chicago,
Houston,
Toronto,
Mexico City,
London,
Berlin,
Tokyo and
Rome.
"If all buildings were as efficient
as they could be, we'd be
saving an enormous amount of energy and significantly reducing carbon emissions. Also,
we'd be saving a ton of money," Clinton said.
The planned projects include
replacing heating, cooling and lighting systems with energy-efficient networks;
making roofs white or reflective to deflect more of the sun's heat;
sealing windows and
installing new models that
let more light in and
keep the elements out; and
setting up sensors to control more
efficient use of lights and
air conditioning.
The former president said Citi,
Deutsche Bank,
JP Morgan Chase,
UBS and
ABN Amro have each committed $1 billion to finance the upgrades.
IT IS NOT TAX MONEY.
Clinton announced the partnership Wednesday, joined by mayors of several of the cities, as part of an international climate summit he is hosting this week in New York City with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
It is the second meeting of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit, which was created so mayors and local governments could share strategies for reversing the trends of climate change.
"It really is groundbreaking; it really is going to make a difference," Bloomberg said.
Retrofitted buildings could see a 20 to 50 percent reduction in energy use, Clinton said.
Buildings are among a city's worst contributors to emissions totals, accounting for 50 percent of energy use in newer cities and more than 70 percent in older urban areas.
In New York, for example,
electricity,
natural gas,
fuel oil and
steam consumed by buildings make up 79 percent of the city's total count of
heat-trapping gases, a recent study found.
Many cities have already taken steps to "green" their municipal buildings, but the foundation said less than 1 percent of the potential market is being tapped in the U.S., and the efforts are less common elsewhere.
One city doing such work is Chicago.
Retrofitting the lighting systems in city buildings there over the past six years has resulted in about $4 million in annual savings, said Sadhu Johnston, commissioner of the Chicago Department of the Environment.
The exact nature of the financing will be determined in coming months, the foundation said, and some details will likely differ from city to city. With the money from the banks, cities will get the green technology at no cost. The program assumes that cities already have money set aside for building operations and will pay back the bank loans, plus interest, through the energy savings that the projects achieve over several years.
To ensure those savings,
Honeywell,
Johnson Controls Inc.,
Siemens and
Trane will conduct energy audits of the buildings,
complete the makeovers and
guarantee the energy savings.
If the expected savings are not realized, those companies will pay the difference
or make the changes in the buildings, the foundation said.
Warren Karlenzig, author of "How Green Is Your City?", applauded the plan and said many of these retrofits have been "crying out to happen."
"The technology is there; it's just that the financing has been missing," Karlenzig said.
The other cities taking part in the building plan are Mumbai, India; Karachi, Pakistan; Seoul, South Korea; Bangkok, Thailand; Melbourne, Australia; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Johannesburg, South Africa. The foundation expects the partnership to expand to more cities and companies after the first round.
