  1. Run-DMC rapper slain in New York
    
    (MSNBC)
  2. The Run-DMC trio, from middle-class neighborhood of Hollis, Queens, began performing together in the early 1980s as Orange Crush, but in 1982 changed their name to Run-DMC and became one of the pioneers of rap music. After signing with the Profile Records label for a meager advance of $2,500, the trio

  1. Polar Ball
    
    (Toy Directory)
  2. New to retail outfits, the Polar Ball has actually been used in leagues and some organizations for quite some time. It comes in both a "real" football size and a smaller "toy" size, and it's basically a football with Velcro strips attached. The ball comes with a Velcro glove for easy catching. To be honest, at first, I didn't think this was a good idea. But, as it turns out, it's really, really fun. We got our hands on the toy size model, and have been throwing it around the office like crazy. I took it to the beach the other day...guess what? It's fun there too. I spoke to inventor/patent holder Steve Allgeier, and he claims it works in the pool as well. I'll be reporting on that soon. I really like the Polar Ball, and it seems others do too: It is being used by the WFL, and in many YMCA programs.
    
    Disclosure: A friend of mine is involved in the distribution of this product.

  1. Why They Hate Us
  2. While there were variations from country to country, these youngsters think they know a lot about us. They are convinced, for example, that we are violent, materialistic and want to dominate other people. On the whole they believe that we do not respect people unlike us, are not generous, are not concerned about the poor, that we lack strong family values and are not peaceful.

    (ABCNEWS.com)
  2. "Quite a few of you are in the entertainment industry," prosecutor Ann Rundle told the panel. "Do you think at any point in the future you might hope to work with Ms. Ryder?" All shook their heads no. Guber was chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment for five years until resigning in 1994 to become an independent producer. During his tenure, Sony released the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola thriller "Dracula," in which Ryder appeared.
    
    That "Dracula" stunk. No wonder no one in the room wanted to work with her.

  1. U.S.-Saudi oil imports fund American mosques
    
    (WorldNetDaily)
  2. Every time you fill up your tank, you may be helping to finance an Islamic mosque in America. If that sounds far-fetched, consider this: Some of the largest mosques and Islamic centers in America are funded by the royal government of Saudi Arabia, which gets most of its revenues from oil exports. And America is its biggest customer.
    
    Well, let's see now ... my Monster SUV, well, that there's about $80 everytime I fill 'er up. How much mosque does that buy? Not much. So what's your point?

  1. Are African Americans Resigning Themselves To Second Class Citizenship?
    
    (The Black World Today)
  2. The predominant form of discrimination will be classism and class is driven by the economic status in society of which African Americans are disproportionately represented in the lower two-fifths. This will bring about new discriminations that we have already begun to see. Lack of access to home mortgages, fewer bank loans, high car and home interest rates, predatory lending, money changers (paycheck advancers, check cashers), and an over-reliance of the subjective decision-making of credit.

There was a time when any self-respecting television show, particularly one aimed at a young audience, had to have an e-mail address.

  1. Anatomy of a Game: Survivor!
  2. "There was more to the show than just sheer voyeurism. At heart, the show is about sixteen people coming together in a remote location and voting each other out one by one, until only one remains. As a writer I was intrigued almost at once by the larger-than-life characters - and how they would react to their changing situation. On the other hand, as a game designer I was fascinated by the complex interactions created by a very simple set of game rules."
    
    This article on the game design of Survivor lays out the reasons why I'm still a fan of the show. It's not The Real World on a deserted island. It's an intense, psychological game show. And if you work in a corporate environment, it's also a simple mirror of the types of interpersonal dynamics you tend to experience.

  1. Owens not punished -- this time
    
    (ESPN.com)
  2. Owens, the San Francisco 49ers' All-Pro receiver, seized the spotlight again Monday night in a 28-21 victory over Seattle. After beating cornerback Shawn Springs in the fourth quarter, Owens produced a pen, signed the football and presented it to his financial adviser in the front row.His move infuriated many of the Seahawks and prompted a national debate. Some saw it as creative and funny; to others, it was a boastful taunt
    
    I thought it was funny, but I can definitely see how competitors would view it as a complete diss. But that's TO for you: he's the player that started the "cut their throats" gesture that got banned a few years back. He wants to be known as the greatest wide receiver in the NFL, but he has no class, and more importantly, he drops the ball too many times.

  2. Pocket-sized radio controlled cars, available for $20 or less with controller -- and infinitely customizable -- are now taking the New World by storm.
    
    I got one of these, as a gag gift for my boss ... and everyone wanted to play with it. So we're ordering a bunch more. I think I'm regressing.

  1. Cloning team looks to human embryos
    
    (Guardian Unlimited | Special reports)
  2. The team which cloned Dolly the sheep, is to plunge into uncharted scientific waters by trying to clone human embryos for research.
    
    Scientists playing God again. How many times have we heard scientists say, "We're pursuing this research for good uses." And then when they've figured it out, it gets perverted. Anyone? Anyone? Oppenheimer?

  1. The Iraqi wild card: Impact on oil market
    
    (International Herald Tribune)
  2. The prospect of war in Iraq, and its impact on already shaky oil markets and the global economy. "This is the elephant in the room that everyone is thinking of and no one is mentioning." The view is circulating that the Bush administration wants to attack Iraq principally for its oil. Few in Washington take that contention seriously, but few dismiss the importance of Iraq's massive oil reserves and the possible effect of a war on Middle East supplies and international commerce.
    
    Let's talk about the elephant. Given the administration's detailed plans for the attack phase, what economic impacts to they forecast for this "operation?" Oh yeah, right, this is the administration that never talks about economics.

  1. Slovakia face fan ban over racism
    
    (BBC)
  2. The Football Association has lodged a formal protest over racist chanting by Slovakian fans at England's Euro 2004 qualifier in Bratislava on Saturday. A "torrent" of abuse was directed mainly at England striker Emile Heskey and defender Ashley Cole throughout the match.
    
    Heskey is a black man. According the World Factbook, if there are any black people at all in Slovakia, they comprise the 0.2% of the population categorized as "other." Slovakians have no interaction with black people ... and yet they display horrific racial antipathy toward blacks. I can only conclude that white racial animus against blacks is innate. This is why this problem will never disappear.

    (Guardian Unlimited | Special reports)
  2. The US has plans to establish an American-led military administration in Iraq, similar to the postwar occupation of Germany and Japan, which could last for several years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, it emerged yesterday.
    
    Whoah! They sure hatched this plan mighty quick. Knowing how long it takes the government to get anything done, it makes me think: boy, these plans must have been on the drawing board for a long time ... maybe even before 9/11/2001. They've been lying to us

  1. [Andy] Rooney blasts purpose of female sideline reporters
    
    (ESPN.com)
  2. "The only thing that really bugs me about television's coverage is those damn women they have down on the sidelines who don't know what the hell they're talking about. I mean, I'm not a sexist person, but a woman has no business being down there trying to make some comment about a football game."
    
    This from a guy who once said, "Blacks have watered down their genes because the less intelligent ones are the ones who have the most children." I love it when people say "I'm not _____, but ..." and then go on to make a statement about _____. For instance: I'm not ageist but, apparently, when you get really old, you start to lose control over what comes out of all your orifices. Is there an equivalent of rubber underwear for the mouth?

What's Jackson's solution? It's the same fix he has been advocating for the past few years: What the nation needs is "open and free access to capital." As Jackson puts it, "transparency" above all. "Common people must have access to the same information, at the same time, as the elite.
    
    For the first time, in a long time, Jesse makes sense. Hence, I must recompense, his thoughts on open access to capitalism are not at all dense.

  2. A lot of people in the weblog world are asking "How can we make money doing this?" The answer is that most of us can't. Weblogs are not a new kind of publishing that requires a new system of financial reward. Instead, weblogs mark a radical break. They are such an efficient tool for distributing the written word that they make publishing a financially worthless activity.
    
    Weblogs are efficient? Most weblogs I've seen -- maybe even this one -- point to the same things, talk about the same things, and reference each other. I guess that's efficiency in distribution. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of bloggers trying to break new ground either in content or style. Is publishing only about spreading the same words, or what?
