In July 1994, syndicated business columnist Allan Sloan wrote: "For lawyer-haters, the case of Weil Gotshal & Manges vs. Posner is a delicious spectacle. A tough, savvy bunch of lawyers decided to lend their prestige and talent to a well-known corporate lowlife in return for fat fees. Then Posner stiffs them. Think of it as selling a piece of your soul and getting paid with a rubber check."

Workers Paying More for Health Insurance

By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD

Sept. 9, 2002 -- You may be paying more than ever for health insurance, but you're actually getting less, according to a new survey. Researchers say rising healthcare costs and a fledgling economy have prompted the biggest increase in health insurance premiums in 12 years. And employers are passing along those added costs to their workers.

The survey shows that premiums paid by employers have risen 12.7% from spring 2001 to spring 2002 -- now totaling $3,060 for single coverage and $7,954 for family coverage. Meanwhile, the amount an employee pays for health insurance has grown by 27% to an average of $454 per year, and the employee-paid share for family coverage has gone up 16% to an average of $2,084 per year.

Hypertext Links: Whither Thou Goest, and Why by Claire Harrison
The link is the basic element of hypertext, and researchers have long recognized that links provide semantic relationships for users. Yet little work has been done to understand the nature of these relationships, particularly in conjunction with the purposes of organizational/informational Web sites. This paper explores the semantic and rhetorical principles underlying link development and proposes a systematic, comprehensive classification of link types that would be of use to researchers and Web production teams.

Pink wants to party with Kylie

Singer Pink would never choose one of her own songs to get a party in full swing - she'd much rather the vocals of Kylie Minogue.

The ‘Get The Party Started’ hit maker admits she's such a huge fan of Kylie’s 2001 chart-topper ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, it would be her track of choice to keep her guests entertained.

She says, "There are too many great songs to get the party started to – Prince has a million of 'em! "For hip-hop, my favourite is Tupac’s ‘California Love’. But for a dance song it's ‘Can't Get You Out Of My Head’ for sure. "That's the one I love to dance to right now - we love us some Kylie. She's cute as hell, and she's really tiny. I'm tall compared to her." (wenn)

Judge Refuses to Block Harrods Libel Suit in Britain


Mark Hamblett
New York Law Journal
10-21-2002

The Wall Street Journal's bid to have a federal judge in New York block a purportedly frivolous libel suit in England has been denied.

In a case that started out as an April Fool's joke, Judge Victor Marrero of the Southern District of New York declined to apply the Declaratory Judgment Act and issue a ruling preventing Harrods department store from suing the newspaper.

"To the question 'What is in a joke?' this lawsuit gives a decidedly wooden answer: a federal case," Judge Marrero said in Dow Jones & Co. Inc v. Harrods Ltd., 02 Civ. 3979.

The dispute began on March 31, 2002, when a mock press release announcing Mohammed Al Fayed's intention to offer shares in a floating version of Harrods moored in the Thames River was misinterpreted by The Wall Street Journal as an announcement to "float shares." The newspaper ran an item on the supposed offering on April 1.

After realizing the hoax, the newspaper published a correction the following day. But three days later, on April 5, it printed an item about the April Fool's joke, in which it conceded being taken in by the prank. And although the newspaper intended the piece to be tongue in cheek, Al Fayed and Harrods were not pleased by "The Enron of Britain?" headline.

Lawyers for Harrods said the article caused serious damage to the company's reputation, and demanded a correction and an apology as well as the payment of "substantial damages."

When the Harrods lawyers asked for disclosure of Wall Street Journal circulation figures and the number of hits on the newspaper's Web site for Great Britain, Dow Jones & Co. Inc., the paper's parent company, filed suit in the Southern District of New York on May 24 seeking to block a London action that Harrods ultimately filed five days later.

Judge Marrero said that Dow Jones was eager to avoid a trial in Britain because libel laws there are far more friendly to plaintiffs.

He said the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a), "was designed as a means to facilitate early and effective adjudication of disputes at a time when a controversy, though actual, may still be incipient, but before it expands into a larger conflict."

But Marrero said the case fell short of being an "actual controversy," because Dow Jones had offered only an "abstract tower of hypotheticals stacked like a house of cards on suppositions piled on top of speculations."

The judge said that if he were to grant the relief sought by Dow Jones, "the conflict may be fully resolved," but only if the courts in the United Kingdom and elsewhere recognized and enforced the New York court's judgment.

Dow Jones had argued that a declaratory judgment was appropriate because it would be freed from "vexatious and oppressive" litigation abroad. The company said that its assets in the United Kingdom were minimal, that no court in the United States would find for Harrods under the law of defamation in this country, and that the expense of defending the action would be significant.

Essentially, Marrero said the company was seeking to apply the act "as a defensive shield, a preemptive means to immunize a litigant" from the costs of litigation.

But Marrero said there was nothing in the statute or the pertinent case law that supports using the act to serve "such a sanctuarial purpose." The judge said it made no difference that the "asserted harmful conduct relates to an exercise of First Amendment rights."

SETTLED DOCTRINE

Moreover, the judge said, it is settled doctrine that the "authority of federal courts to enjoin foreign lawsuits" involving litigants within their jurisdiction "should be used sparingly and granted only with care and restraint."

And even though Dow Jones considered the April 5 article as a "jocular response to Harrods' April Fool's prank," and the judge doubted whether there was any real injury caused by the Enron remark, he said it could not be "summarily declared" that the Harrods action must be dismissed as a matter of law "as frivolous and motivated by bad faith."

Jack M. Weiss of Los Angeles-based Gibson Dunn & Crutcher represented Dow Jones. Zachary Carter of Minneapolis-based Dorsey & Whitney represented Harrods.

Alonso's Furniture Confiscated
Printable version
E-mail this story to a friend


WEST MIAMI -- Police raiding the home of former Miami-Dade Commissioner, Miriam Alonso -- for the second time.

But this time, officers walking away with furniture instead of documents.

Police accusing Alonso of mishandling 130-thousand dollars in political donations -- confiscating the furniture they say was received as a kick-back.

Detectives say Elba Morales, the aid and confidant of Alonso was forced to purchase 15 thousand dollars worth of furniture for the alonso's.

A claim the former commissioner vigorously refutes.

Miriam Alonso, the Former Miami-Dade County Commissioner says, "It is my property it is my dining set. It was purchased in 1997. Two sofas in the family room. Frankly, I have not taken anything from anyone and what I want is the same opputunity. To defend myself and to have the same rights that everyone American citizen has."

Lawyers for alonso say the act was a simple measure to embarrass and humiliate the former commissioner.

Police now planning to tack on three more charges for unlawful compensation, money laundering and grand theft to Alonso's already stacked legal problems.



Wounded nation needs to cry, mourners told - smh.com.au

Within the Anglican Church of Australia, tensions are emerging over comments made by the Anglican Primate, Archbishop Peter Carnley, on Friday in Perth.

"Given the bombing of Afghanistan and the dispersal in disarray of al-Qaeda and Taliban forces, and Australia's high-profile support of President George Bush's stance in relation to a possible war on Iraq, it was surely only a matter of time before Australian lives were sacrificed in some form of retaliatory action," he said.

His suggestion that Australia's close links with the United States may have prompted the attack was rejected by the US Ambassador to Australia, Tom Schieffer.

Mr Schieffer said it was not a question of opting to be "on or off" the terrorists' list.

Terrorists struck for their own reasons and without warning, he said.

The Anglican Diocese in Sydney was also distancing itself from Dr Carnley's comment yesterday. The Bishop of South Sydney, Robert Forsyth, said the Primate was expressing a personal view.

"These are not the views of the Anglican Church and he does not speak for the Anglican Church in Australia," he said.

International eyes search for hidden jigsaw pieces


By Neil Mercer
October 21 2002

Federal agent Steven Hunt peers into the microscope trying to identify fingerprints. It's just one tiny, but perhaps critical, part of the jigsaw puzzle that is the biggest police investigation in Australian history.

Agent Hunt was one of about 17 investigators working yesterday morning in the Australian Federal Police command post. The post has been established in a Bali hotel.

In a rectangular room not much longer than a cricket pitch, laptops line the work areas while maps of Bali and photos of the bomb site are on the walls and boards.

At a long table in the centre of the room, other agents look at statements, discussing and analysing the growing mountain of information and intelligence.

Already, police have identified 450 Australians from whom they will have to take statements,
and that number is growing every day.

The Australian side of the joint investigative team now comprises 105 police and experts, 81 of whom are Australian. There are also four terrorism specialists from New Scotland Yard, three agents from the FBI and forensic experts who were involved in
the investigation of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

Others come from Japan, France, New Zealand and Germany.

The joint chief investigator, assistant commissioner Graham Ashton, has likened the massive crime scene to a jigsaw puzzle.

"Like with any jigsaw it will have a pattern to it and you want to find the next piece of the pattern," he said .

Yesterday, the members of the team, some in shorts and T-shirts, were busy trying to put it all together.

Net begins to close in on Indonesian extremists


By Matthew Moore, Herald Correspondent in Jakarta, and agencies
October 21 2002

Indonesian police yesterday announced the formal arrest of the Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who is accused of terrorist activities, but said they had no plans to remove him from his hospital bed, where he has been since collapsing on Friday.

Police first detained Abu Bakar in hospital in the Central Java town of Solo for a 24-hour period from Saturday before announcing yesterday that they had tightened their legal hold on him. "At around noon we officially changed his status into a police detainee," said the national director of criminal investigations, Brigadier-General Aryanto Sutadi.
...
Singapore and Malaysia have accused Abu Bakar of being the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which wants to incorporate several Asian countries, including Indonesia, into a giant Islamic state.

The Immigration Minister, Philip Ruddock, yesterday confirmed Abu Bakar entered Australia "on a fairly significant number" of occasions during the 1990s, usually under an assumed identity. The Australian Government has said it believes JI is probably responsible for the Bali bombings, something Abu Bakar strenuously denies.
...
Abu Bakar's lawyer said police had told him they might extend his client's questioning. The move on Abu Bakar came after Western governments, including the United States, Australia and Japan last week increased their pressure on Indonesia to crack down on terrorism and find those responsible for the Bali bombings.

Indonesia's Defence Minister, Matori Abdul Djalil, said at the weekend that Abu Bakar was linked to al-Qaeda and that his right-hand man, known as Hambali, was behind many of the country's terrorist bombings.
...
Early on Saturday Indonesia's cabinet enacted a new anti-terrorism regulation giving police broad new powers to detain terrorism suspects without charge.

However, Abu Bakar's sudden illness may undermine attempts to quickly interrogate terrorism suspects identified by the senior al-Qaeda figure Omar al-Faruq.

Al-Faruq was interviewed last week by Indonesian police who said they were convinced by his allegations made first to the CIA in September that Abu Bakar played a key role in a series of church bombings that killed nearly 20 people in Christmas 2000 and was planning a car bomb attack on the US embassy in Jakarta for September 11.

There are also reports that al-Faruq told the CIA that money controlled by al-Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden, was used to buy explosives for the Bali attack.

Al-Faruq told the CIA that $US74,000 ($135,000) was transferred from bin Laden to JI.

Al-Faruq's claims add weight to those that the Bali bombings were part of al-Qaeda's worldwide campaign against the West.
People For the American Way The White House
The Bush administration has welcomed, encouraged, and participated in these right-wing campaigns. And Bush continues to make it clear that he has the interests of the Religious Right in mind, pledging to nominate judges in the mold of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, and promising recently to appoint only "common sense judges who understand that our rights were derived from God."

The numbskulls who published this think it is a negative. It's a frigging endorsement! Praise the Lord.

Arc of a diva
After two decades of Eurostardom, Kylie Minogue's brand of glossy retro-disco may finally conquer America. Good -- she's just what we need right now.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Charles Taylor

March 7, 2002 | I was in England during the Christmas season of 1987 when Kylie Minogue's first hit, a cutesy-poo version of Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion," became inescapable. I grumbled so predictably whenever it came over the radio or on "Top of the Pops" that the first few notes were enough to get my British then-girlfriend laughing at how much it irritated me.
So how, 15 years later, did I wind up standing in line at the Times Square Virgin Megastore, possibly the only straight man in the crowd, waiting for Minogue to autograph "Fever," her new CD? Although Kylie fizzled out in the U.S. after "The Loco-Motion" became a hit here, she went on to a huge career in Europe (30 million-plus records sold), first under the tutelage of Brit-pop schlockmeisters Stock, Aitken, Waterman and then, briefly, in a commercially disappointing fling with alternative rock. But apart from the occasional gossip column appearance, or a photo layout in some Euro lad-mag, in which she didn't look much like the perky teenager in cutoff sweats I remembered grinning her way through "The Loco-Motion," I had barely thought about her.

That is, until early last year, when a Welsh friend returned to New York from a Christmas visit home. My buddy, whose musical tastes overlap with mine, told me that several U.K. critics had listed the Minogue album "Light Years" on their year-end best-of lists. Since British music critics tend to be less embarrassed about the transitory pleasures of pop than their American counterparts (who seem more concerned about writing for the ages), I considered the possibility they might be onto something. But I didn't actually pick up "Light Years" until a couple of months later, after seeing Kylie as the Absinthe Fairy in "Moulin Rouge," a saucier version of that earlier movie sex fantasy, Walt Disney's Playboy Bunny-esque Tinker Bell. . . .

Amen to that. Kylie is God-sent.

Orlando Business Journal
THERE’S BEEN A RECENT retread of the weblogging phenomenon following a few articles at PC Mag, Time, and The Morning News. After posting my own short list of things that ought to be banned from weblogs, I realized that a list of things to be encouraged would be more useful. Some people are new to weblogging. Others want to raise the bar. In the end, everybody wants better sites, and some of these suggestions might help.

The bulk of this advice focuses on writing, which is generally at the heart of weblogs. All of them are obvious yet often ignored, to the detriment of both the readers and the writers. They’re aimed at people trying to improve the general appeal of their weblogs, but folks writing privately for friends and family might also find them useful. We’ll begin with an example.

World eBusiness Law Report - Copyright Gator ordered to stop popping up

A US federal court has issued a preliminary injunction in WashingtonPost Newsweek Interactive Co LLC v The Gator Corporation (Civil Action 02-909-A, ED Va July 15 2002) barring software company Gator from causing its controversial pop-up advertisements to be displayed on users' screens while they are viewing the websites of the plaintiff publishers. The order, if it stands, will threaten the business model of Gator and other internet advertising services that use similar software implanted on a user's computer to deliver unauthorized ads.
VeriSign loses another 'domain slamming' suit

VeriSign, a leading domain name registrar, has lost a fourth lawsuit over its aggressive customer acquisition campaign. The campaign involved the mailing of a controversial "domain name expiration notice" to competitors' customers, encouraging them to switch to VeriSign.

The plaintiff, Go Daddy Software Inc, filed its 'domain slamming' lawsuit in an Arizona federal court, alleging consumer fraud, deceptive advertising and misappropriation of trade secrets. The court ordered VeriSign to discontinue the marketing campaign, enjoining VeriSign from sending the notices to, specifically, Go Daddy's customers and, more broadly, any other competitors' customers.

The Go Daddy suit comes on the heels of previous actions filed by BulkRegister, the California Consumer Action Network and a class action on behalf of all consumers making similar claims against VeriSign. BulkRegister won a preliminary injunction in a Maryland federal court (see VeriSign enjoined from 'domain slamming'). Christine Jones, Go Daddy's general counsel, is reported as saying that VeriSign interpreted the preliminary injunction to apply narrowly to only BulkRegister's customers.

Three years ago, VeriSign held 100% of the '.com', '.net' and '.org' (CNO) market, but this was down to 38% in April 2002 according to SnapNames.com, which tracks the industry. In the meantime, Go Daddy has risen from 47th place to sixth place in the past 18 months, largely due to its heavy discounting. BulkRegister, which places fifth in the CNO rankings, claims it was shocked to learn that VeriSign was continuing to mail the notices.

VeriSign's aggressive marketing tactics are not without risk. Despite its brand name advantage (possibly jeopardized by this negative publicity), VeriSign appears to be pursuing a high-risk strategy to avoid a flat-out price war with its lower-priced competitors.

New Alexandria Library: A temple of knowledge

The Library of Alexandria was the ancient world's premier seat of learning — its eventual destruction an intellectual tragedy. Can its spirit be revived in modern-day Egypt? Alison Abbott visits the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

A statue of Toth, protector of the scribes, watches over the Bibliotheca Alexandrina's reading room.

Euclid wrote his Elements of Geometry there. Herophilus identified the brain, rather than the heart, as the centre of intelligence. Eratosthenes estimated the Earth's circumference with an error of just 140 kilometres. And Hipparchus calculated the year's length to within 6.5 minutes.
FOR THE TECH SAVVY, THE BUZZWORD IS BLAWG
Simple Web Sites Let Lawyers Share Knowledge, Opinions

BY JASON KRAUSE

Ernest Svenson is a blawger, and he doesn’t mind saying so.

Svenson, technology partner with Gordon, Arata, McCollam, Duplantis & Eagan in New Orleans, runs Ernie the Attorney, a typical Web log, or blog for short. A blog is basically a simple Web site with plain text messages usually written by one person, along with related news snippets or hyperlinks to articles.

Svenson’s site has a mix of tidbits about blogging and technology, and general-interest news items with running commentary Svenson writes in his spare moments. And, because his blog deals with law-related matters, it fits into the subcategory of blawgs.

For Svenson, blawging started as a diversion. "This was just an interesting thing I was experimenting with in my spare time," he says. "But when I started getting hits from more people other than just my family, it became clear that this was turning into something bigger than just a vanity project."

A small but growing number of lawyers are turning to Web logs as a tool for their law practice. Blawgs resemble a kind of self-published, online newsletter. They are being touted as a communications tool to reach the nation’s lawyers, a public relations tool to display a lawyer’s knowledge of the law, and even a knowledge management system for lawyers to share expertise within a firm.

Setting up a blawg is easier than building a Web site, thanks to a number of free services, like blogger.com. However, most blawg publishers say the free services tend to crash, which is why most have upgraded to a paid service, usually costing about $40 a year.

Once blawgers set up the basic design of their sites, all they need to do is send their postings to their Web log service. Readers can often comment on the site, creating a feedback loop between the reader and blawger.

But what interest might someone’s random musings be to the average lawyer? Blawgers say that these kinds of Web pages allow them to communicate with people of a shared interest, creating a place for lawyers to keep up with the latest news and ideas in their field.

"Almost every law firm is trying to build a knowledge management system for itself to take advantage of the expertise within the firm," Svenson says. "But with blawgs, it happens organically. If you gave your lawyers their own blawgs, pretty soon everyone within the firm could see who knows the most about different topics."

Eugene Volokh, a UCLA School of Law professor, runs The Volokh Conspiracy, a blawg for readers interested in technology and civil liberty issues. He believes blawgs are a natural outlet for lawyers to fully immerse themselves in their field.

"To me, it may not be entirely practical, but lawyers are a gregarious people, … [and] a lot of them don’t have an outlet for their interests," he says. "Blawgs give them that."

The number of people reading blawgs is still small but growing. A popular site like Instapundit might get 50,000 hits a day. Volokh says he registers 3,000 to 3,500 visitors most days.

"It’s a great PR tool, too," Volokh says. "I’ve never met Howard Bashman, but if anyone ever asks me if I know an appellate lawyer in Pennsylvania, I’m going to recommend Bashman because I’ve read his blawg [How Appealing] and found him to be insightful and well-informed."

But the main concern for lawyers will probably always be that Web logs can be too time-consuming to read, to create or to maintain. The Web log publishers who commented for this story typically spend an hour or more a day working on their site, either at work or after hours.

"Are blawgs useful or just a waste of time? I’d say neither," Svenson says. "It’s too early to say exactly what their usefulness is, but it’s clear something interesting is happening."

Other popular blawgs include the following:

• Scotusblog is all about goings on at the U.S. Supreme Court, published by Goldstein and Howe, a law firm specializing in supreme court cases.

• Law Meme is a legal Web log from the Yale Law School.

• Lessig Blog, it should be no surprise, was launched by Lawrence Lessig, one of the best-known legal scholars on Internet-related issues.

• West Virginia Supreme Court keeps lawyers updated on the latest news, decisions and other announcements from that state’s supreme court.

• The Trademark Blog is aimed at trademark lawyers. It is written by Marty Schwimmer, a trademark attorney.

RODENT REMORSE
Walking the Fine Line Between Having Fun and Giving Offense
BY THE RODENT
A number of years ago, former junk bond king Michael Milken was released from prison. As a condition of his release, Mr. Milken was required to obtain a job. He took a position in his lawyer’s office as a paralegal.

In the next issue of The Rodent newsletter, it was noted that Milken had changed his mind and declined the conditions of his parole. He was then quoted saying that incarceration was preferable to working with a bunch of lawyers, and that making license plates in the pen was more interesting than summarizing depositions at The Firm. The piece went on to say that prison guards treated Mr. Milken better than law firm associates did, and that the warden was "a much nicer guy" than The Firm’s managing partner.

Obvious satire, right? Well, it was satire–but evidently not so obvious. A paralegal association asked to reprint the article in its monthly publication. A week or so after it appeared, I received a call from the editor. She wanted to confirm that the story was accurate because some readers weren’t sure.
Seems I had a similar experience with an article I wrote last month for this publication in a column that made references to estate planning attorneys. Satire or not, some estate planning lawyers were offended. An apology appeared in the Sept. 27 issue of eReport saying the article was "disappointing to many."

While I admit that my columns are often disappointing, they are never meant to offend. The main reason I continue to write is the feedback I get that The Rodent brings a bit of color to a profession that, let’s face it, can be a grind. And I generally don’t worry about offending lawyers. To their credit, attorneys are probably more self-critical than any other professionals. I doubt there are any Rodent-like columns appearing in publications for plumbers or surgeons or stockbrokers. The fact that an American Bar Association publication runs The Rodent column says great things about our profession.

The most common complaint I hear about my articles is that they don’t go far enough. I once wrote an article making fun of judges–only after several of them begged me to do it. And guess what. I got a ton of letters from judges saying I hit the nail on the head and telling me things about their own courtrooms that I could have used. That sort of feedback makes me feel like The Rodent is a mammal of the people.

I also want to mention that I do exercise some discretion in my writing. I am careful, for instance, not to attack individuals based on their membership in certain protected classes–race, religion, gender, law firm office manager.

I also know that it is wrong to make gross generalizations about people, even if gross generalizations can be really funny.

In my newsletter, I used to write personality profiles of law firm characters. There was the of counsel, the bow-tie-wearing partner, the first-year-son-of-a-client associate, the senior executive secretary. This feature contained nothing but gross generalizations, and it was hugely popular. I think maybe gross generalizations can also be accurate. Many readers said they were sure I worked at their firm because I had perfectly pegged someone in their office.

So, going forward, I hope it helps to know that The Rodent is just for fun. At the same time, I don’t mean to tell anyone to lighten up. That’s not something you tell any lawyer. I do, however, want to tell estate planning lawyers that I have an upcoming column making fun of patent attorneys that I think they’ll find hilarious.

We've been experimenting a lot today with this outstanding xrefer research tool from the UK. Looks like the full featured version is only available to libraries and institutions but the material I have been finding and exploring is outstanding. The cross reference features, embedded hyperlinks, and relatedness of the taxonomy are very powerful. I can't put a table with the search button here in the body of the weblog foir some reason (must conflict with blogger's css template), but I have put it in a box to the left. Look for this logo:

They have combined aand interlinked about 100-120 reference titles from several top UK publishers. Check it out.

The material below from the famous Oxford Dictionary of Art came from this tool and I have restored the embedded hyperlnks plus added a few extras as an experiment.

The OzFoxes FoxWeb: All About Foxes PART 1: THE TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
The fox is a canid (family Canidae), distantly akin to coyotes, jackals, and wolves; but they are a distinct and separate animal, having formed their own genetic group 11-12 million years ago. They belong to the Order Carnivora and are indeed carnivores (meat-eaters); but they also eat fruits and grains, so by diet they are more properly omnivores... but that's a matter for taxonomists.

Foxes cannot cross-breed with dogs or other canids, having a different number of chromosomes. If you see a foxy-looking dog, that's exactly what it is: a dog with foxy features, not a dog-fox cross.

Amazing to me that those who think the press are sacrosanct and should never have to reveal their sources or the substance of their private conversations and imagery that may lead to the solving of a horrible atrocity, or the prevention of a future mass child murder, or the proper disposition of evidence and justice in a fair trial, tend to be the same people that want the Intelligence Community to reveal their sources and methods to the press.

It is as absurd to me as those who want to legalize drugs and il-legalize (if you will) a law-abiding citizen's right to bear arms to protect his family and community from unchecked crime.

The Word Spy - metrosexual

metrosexual

(MET.roh.sek.shoo.ul) n. A dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle.
—metrosexuality n.
-----------
The only problem facing the metrosexual in an otherwise carefree existence is the inescapable effects of ageing. If 30 is 45 in gay years, then 26 is retirement age for the metrosexual — and no amount of biotechnological, rehydrating, whale sperm dermo-care can alter that.

askSam - Surf Report 21 - Knowledge Management Knowledge is power. At least, that is how it has been treated at most companies since the beginning of modern economics. Hoarding information and knowledge has long been one of the key ways individuals and departments maintain their position and status within the corporate hierarchy. Unfortunately, this model no longer serves the best interests of businesses and other organizations. Knowledge management, in which information and knowledge are appropriately, clearly, and effectively kneaded throughout all the layers of the organization, is one of the critical keys to survival and success.
From Knowledge Economy to Knowledge Ecology?

FEATURE ARTICLE

"From Knowledge Economy to Knowledge Ecology?
- IBM's David Snowden Maps a 'Third Way'
for KM at Open University Seminar"
By Andrew Everest

Monday 8th of July saw David Snowden, Executive Director of the IBM
sponsored Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity, acknowledged
KM 'guru' to governments, corporations and their ilk, deliver an
agenda-setting lecture at The Open University on the next generation
of Knowledge Management.

Entitled "Complex Acts of Knowing - beyond the baleful influence of
the 'tacit' and 'explicit' words", the lecture, hosted by the Open
University Library & BBi (Beds and Bucks Information), gave Mr Snowden
a platform to outline an iconoclastic 'organic' approach to KM.
Offering effectively a 'third way' for KM, his approach does away with
previous simplistic notions based purely on knowledge capture, and
focuses on employing and exploiting traditional human knowledge-
building instincts and behaviours. It conceptualises 'knowledge' as a
flow, rather than a confinable commodity, in need of channelling and
divining rather than control, and suggests use of a variety of
'pragmatic', sometimes unorthodox techniques to bring knowledge to the
surface. With references to channelling of flows and the unorthodox,
and a mysterious Welsh-/Druidic-sounding Moniker, one might have been
be excused for thinking this new 3G KM had something of the 3rd Age
about it!

A Review of
Richard Lanham's
The Electronic Word

Rather than experiencing a complete return to an oral-based culture, the electronic media of our time reintroduce elements of oral culture into our consciousness and will fuse strangely with print literacy.

For instance, it seems likely that in twenty or thirty years time, schoolchildren will hand in homework assignments that are extremely hypertextual: the assignments will involve the production of 'texts' that combine sound, animation (and video), graphics, and hot-spots to other information located in the electronic text world. And they will also involve text.

Monday, October 14, 2002
By Daniel Roth

Singer Angie Stone has a nice hit in "Wish I Didn't Miss You." The song is danceable, features appropriately vacuous lyrics, and has an infectious groove. But, for Eric Schimmel, "Wish" has a major flaw: Its tempo doesn't match King of House's "Billie Jean Club Remix."
It's a DJ's worst nightmare. And Schimmel, 31, is determined to be a DJ. By day, Schimmel's a vice president in emerging markets for Credit Lyonnais, but at night he's been spinning at a restaurant in Manhattan. Now's he's preparing for the big leagues: a chance to DJ at a club in Ibiza, Spain. He knows these two records played back to back will be a hit with the dancers, but he has to get it right. So on a humid Friday night in August, Schimmel--suit jacket off and tie loosened--stands behind two turntables with his tutor, a 34-year-old giant by the name of DJ Kwest.
As Stone's song plays, Schimmel puts one finger in the air, flicking it up at each of the snares and down at the bass drum. Finding the beat, he reaches for the mixing board that rests between the spinning records and slowly inches over a lever that should seamlessly stitch the songs. The result is a mess of drums and ...

Subject: Mechanics Gripes

After every flight, pilots complete a gripe sheet which conveys to the
mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need
repair or correction. The form is a piece of paper that the pilot completes
and then the mechanics read and correct the problem. They then respond in
writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken and the
pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.
