Decades of research<\/a> led by scientists at Kansas State University offered evidence reintroducing bison to roam the tallgrass prairie gradually doubled plant diversity and improved resilience to extreme drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This all adds up to an enormous burden on the American people<\/a> and our economy. Filing taxes takes up an estimated 6.5 billion hours each year\u2014as the right-leaning Tax Foundation points out<\/a>, the equivalent of 3.1 million people working full-time for the whole year. Assuming average wages for the types of work involved, that adds up to a $313 billion burden on the economy. In terms of actual business, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates<\/a> that there are 83,190 tax preparers, making an average income of $51,080. Payroll processing is also a big business, and a necessary employer expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few rivers<\/a> and basins also start in the U.S. and end up in Mexico, including the Rio Grande<\/strong> from Colorado to Tamaulipas. Further south in Central America and the Caribbean, most of the basins don\u2019t have major rivers and empty into the nearby oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A two-page statement<\/a> filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, issued on behalf of the State Department by Justice Department officials Brian M. Boynton, Anthony J. Coppolino and Laurel H. Lum, announced that the “Defendants” in the case brought by the Accidental Americans “wish[ed] to alert the court of the Department of State’s intent to…reduce the fee for processing” what are known as Certificates of Loss of Nationality of the United States, or CLNs, “from the current amount of US$2,350 to the prior amount of $450.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year marked a return of Lisa Su the CEO, president, and Chair of AMD<\/a>. Of all the major tech CEOs and companies today, Su and AMD are at the center of many of developments most exciting to the industry represented at CES. AMD runs gaming consoles, gaming PCs, PCs, and laptops, and provides chips for machine learning and running cloud workloads. Combine this with Su\u2019s matter of fact yet entertaining stage presence and technologist-at-heart approach to describing products and the keynote can be quite compelling. Su is by far the most commanding tech leader today, at least among those willing to speak at a third-party conference.<\/p>\n\n\n
