What's sinister in that list? I just see things that look like purchase orders for Google search appliances, a vague "research" contract at Army Research Labs, and what looks to be mapping consulting by NGA. If you're g

South Philly parking works because double- and triple- parking is practiced (and permitted by the parking authorities in neighborhoods). Just write your cell phone number on a piece of paper, place it on your dash, and go inside. It's
