Undergraduate survey: iPods more popular than beer
Wednesday, June 7, 2006
(AP) - SAN JOSE, California-College life is not just about drinking beer.
In a rare instance, Apple Computer Inc.'s iconic iPod music player surpassed beer drinking as the most "in" thing among undergraduate college students, ...

It's a good thing that they like iPods, because they're going to need them to keep some semblance of sanity after they are sentenced to a corporate cubicle.

And finally, another story I found humorous.

The Bush administration invaded Iraq claiming Saddam Hussein had tried to buy yellowcake uranium in Niger. As much of Washington knew, and the world soon learned, the charge was false.

The Power of China

Corporations find it hard to think of China as being populated by actual human beings. China is not viewed as a nation, or a people, or even a system of governance. Through corporate eyes, China is, first and foremost, an enormous market that is therefore populated by needs. Being a supplier of "needs" is problematic to the degree that it focuses on the object of the need and ignores the humanity of the needy. When commerce abandons conscience, market share trumps social impact, profits take precedence over scruples, then rules are bent and statutes are circumvented. The more repressive and unpredictable the regime, the greater the fear of losing access to the market and the higher the urgency to protect it by ingratiating yourself to the authorities....

Goldman Sachs rules the world
June 4, 2006
With Paulson's appointment as Treasury secretary, the firm is supreme in matters political and economic.
By Kyle Pope, a former writer and editor for the Wall Street Journal, writes about business and the media.

...Goldman Sachs alums now run the White House bureaucracy (in new Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten), , the state of New Jersey (Gov. Jon Corzine) and the New York Stock Exchange (Chief Executive John Thain). Not since John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil — and maybe not even then — has one firm exerted such muscle over national economic and fiscal policy....
The global economy has become a mammoth, interconnected firm, with no single country able to call the shots. Although the Bush team may not accept this view, there are signs — in Bolten's appointment, Condoleezza Rice's elevation and Karl Rove's sidelining — that it finally recognizes the importance of engaging the rest of the world. This is particularly important when it comes to economic policy, where markets are more linked than ever and where one country's trading foe (say, China, in the case of the U.S.) can also be its biggest creditor (ditto).
Finally, Goldman Sachs executives in general, and Paulson in particular, are pragmatists to the point of being mercenary. It's all about the markets, politics be damned...

China scares the crap out of me. The censorship, the human rights violations, the control that the government exerts over it's people. Do we really want to owe them billions?

Tangled Web

Is the wild west culture of the Internet about to become a thing of the past? Big business is staking its claim on the information superhighway, lobbying Congress for an exclusive faster lane, which consumers could end up paying for. This week on NOW we look at a major battle brewing in Washington D.C. over the future of the Internet.

PBS NOW

Opposing Net Neutrality

...Companies such as Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast provide the lines -- copper, cable, and fiber-optic -- and other hardware that connects Web sites to consumers but make virtually no money from the content that flows through those lines.

They've been lobbying hard to push through a system of fees that would divide the Internet into two tiers: a fast lane for companies who can afford to pay a large toll, and a slow lane for those who cannot. They say the fees are necessary to earn a return on the multibillion-dollar investment in broadband infrastructure.

The group Hands Off the Internet -- backed by companies such as AT&T and Alcatel -- is fighting the concept of net neutrality. Mike McCurry, the former Clinton press secretary who is chairman of the group, says that the telecom industry simply wants the Internet to be governed by economics, not government regulation.

"Show me the money, or I'll choke the people's access to your website" say Mikey.

Gas prices

Clerks in line of fire when customers rage about gas prices
Monday, May 29, 2006
By TIM MOLLOY Associated Press Writer

...Police in Los Angeles and San Diego - the city with the highest gas prices in the nation - have not noticed any violent trends toward gas station workers. But there have been gas-related crimes around the nation...

"No violent trends towards gas station workers."
Hmmmmmm.
Might that be because we are used to getting reamed? Ummm, I worked as a gas station clerk for three years. I know my old boss would hire me back right now. Have I asked her for that job back?

Bwwwwaaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa ha ha ha ha, ROFL.

ps, I'm very kind and understanding to gas station clerks. You'd be surprised at just how much more pleasant it makes transactions. They make minimum wage and theirbosses cannot control how much they are paying for gas either, and they are not making much on the gas. They actually make more on the junk food they sell. Ya wanna complain? Take it to these mofos .

The country of the Thousand Scandals and One Scandal
By Dr. Kadhim al-Miqdadi

...Our oil is being squandered. Oil smuggling has become a usual trade in Iraq and is taking different forms and facets.



There is the official smuggling, semi-official smuggling, tribal smuggling and sectarian smuggling.



Meters measuring oil output, exports and quantities of products churned out by refineries are said to be most of the time out of order.



Our oil meters are even less efficient and reliable than the taxi meters illiterate drivers use in a developing country in Africa...



Think the US could spare some of these?

Yeah, yeah, I know, that's pretty funny, eh? Probably not somthing Big Dick-shoot-em-in-the face is gonna suggest, huh? But now Dick CAN say that Al-Qaeda is in Iraq. Good Job Dick-head.

Handbook of Texas online: OIL EXPLORATION
...A second method of exploration is the Magnetic method. Most oil occurs in sedimentary rocks that are nonmagnetic...
..A third method of exploration is the seismic method..
...Refraction prospecting consists of elastic earth waves, initiated by some concussive force, traveling down to a dense or high velocity bed, then being carried along that bed until they are
rerefracted up to seismic detector locations on the surface some distance from the shot point....
A final method of exploration is the study of stratigraphy...Sample logs, driller's logs, time logs, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, and acoustic logs help geologists predict where oil bearing strata occur.

History, my dear, history. I'm reading the last chapter of Clifford D. Conner's A People's History of Science (c) 2005and I stumble upon this nasty little gem on pg. 450:

The horrific practical implications of eugenics emerged in political movements in the United States and Germany. The American eugenicists were sufficiently influential to win passage of the Johnson-Reed Act in 1924, which restricted immigrants from southern and Eastern Europe, The Balkans, and Russia. America must be kept American." President Calvin Coolidge declared; "Biological laws show...that Nordics deteriorate when mixed with other races." 2
Coolidge was echoing the scientific rationale provided by eugenics movement leader Harry H. Laughlin, who had determined "that eastern European, Mediterranean, and Russian Jews, among others, harbored a large number of defective genes in their populations. " Not coincidentally, those immigrant populations also accounted for a great deal of the labor radicalism in the United States. "For the wealthy benefactors that supported eugenics, such as the Carnegie, Rockefeller, Harriman, and Kellogg philanthropies, eugenics provided a means of social control in a period of unprecedented upheaval and violence."3
Harry Laughlin and his movements also lobbied at the state levels for the passage of eugenics sterilization laws, which would allow individuals in state institutions to be forcibly sterilized if they were judged to be genetically defective. Over 35 states passed, and used, such laws. By the 1960’s when most of these laws were beginning to be repealed, more than 60,000 people had been sterilized for eugenic purposes. In Germany, the National Socialists used Laughlin’s model as one of the bases of their sweeping sterilization law of 1933, which ultimately led to the sterilization of over 400,000 people. 4

It was the Holocaust that turned international public opinion decisively against eugenics. Eugenics was not discredited as a scientific doctrine by means of research generating new evidence but due to momentous events external to the world of science. In 1938, the Nazis’ efforts at racial purification reached their logical, unspeakable culmination in a “euthanasia program” under the supervision of German psychiatrists that condemned tens of thousands of people deemed mentally ill, including children, to execution in gas chambers. Social Darwinism and eugenics were brought into disrepute as their implementation by the Nazis revealed them to be a slippery slope to genocide. 5



2. Quoted in Roy Porter, The Greatest Benefit to Mankind. p. 424.
3. Garland E. Allen, “Is a New Eugenics Afoot?”pp. 59-61.
4. Ibid.
5. Two excellent historical treatments of eugenics are Daniel J. Kelves, In the Name of Eugenics, and Garland E. Allen, “The Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, 1910-1940. “
