Manmohan woos Mizos with ‘Change’ Singh Lists Delhi Bounty - (USA)
By Santanu Ghosh Manmohan Singh Aizawl, Nov 26 : It is not often that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh displays any agression. He did so today, shedding his pacifist image to target the Mizo National Front government in its own bastion as he called on Mizos to bring about “change” through the power of the ballot. During his 20-minute address to a large gathering at the sun-soaked Assam Rifles ground, Singh left nothing to inference as he went hammer and tongs at the ruling MNF government,

Job References, Background Checks Demystified - (USA)
Job hunters, take heed. CIO.com has a good little primer intended to uncover the truth behind myths about job references and background checks, some of which really surprised me. The article is written by Jeffrey Shane who works for a professional reference checking service ( Allison & Taylor ), so it takes a somewhat different tone than expected. It's a whole lot more reactive and psychologically driven than I had ever heard before. From the article: Myth: Most corporations direct re

How To Cap Off The Election — A Modest Suggestion - (USA)
My regular readers will recall the Phrygian cap*, which the “Sons of Liberty” adopted about 1766 as the emblem of our Revolution.

Columbine and the power of symbols - (USA)
Part three of a series. In the days following the murders at Columbine High School I visited the school and the grounds of Clement Park. Those walks produced this piece, which was originally published ten years ago today. We have learned a great deal about the events that took place at Columbine since this essay was written (for instance, we now know that the “Cassie Said Yes” story never actually happened, and we also know that the whole “Trenchcoat Mafia” thing was also a media-

OMG! Psych RETURNS THIS FRIDAY!! Can. Not. Wait. Ok, ok, so my love for all things Psych is EPIC. Y’all know this. So are you surprised that I jumped on the chance to participate in a teleconference with James Roday and Dulé Hill last week? Granted, I had just seen the guys the week before at Comic Con and heard them answer pretty much every question under the sun about the show and this upcoming season. Yet, I was on that phone with plenty of time to spare. And they did not disappoint.

How Percona does a MySQL Performance Audit - (USA)
Our customers or prospective customers often ask us how we do a performance audit (it's our most popular service). I thought I should write a blog post that will both answer their question, so I can just reply "read all about it at this URL" and share our methodology with readers a little bit. This fits well with our philosophy of openness. It also shocks people sometimes -- "you're giving away the golden goose!" Not really.

Zero Hedge Exclusive: One Whistleblower's Fight Against Goliath Over The Definition Of Risk - (USA)
When Zero Hedge recently posted a letter from Deepak Moorjani, it was means to be shared as more of an opinion piece with some policy implications - it is, after all, rare to get the insight of whistleblowers who decry allegedly illicit practices. The fact that Moorjani's previously published piece had been removed from certain main stream media outlets, however, raised some red flags and I decided to probe further. What I have discovered is an ever-developing, very intricate story, with pote

La Caricature - (USA)
"The first quarter of the 19th century in France was a turbulent time. Napoleon had just been defeated, and the war between the Royalists and Republicans had begun anew with fresh vigor. Charles X, after an attempt to restore the absolutism of the old French monarchy and put an end to the freedom of press, had been forced to abdicate in the July Revolution of 1830. The “citizen-king” Louis-Philippe was elected to take his place. All this political turmoil, plus the new technique of lithography l

Boss Hog Bowl or Boss Hawg Bowl (Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington) - (USA)
Cowboys Stadium (home of football’s Dallas Cowboys) opened in Arlington, Texas, in 2009. Sports journalist and radio personality Randy Galloway called the proposed stadium “Boss Hawg Bowl” (or “Boss Hog Bowl") by at least 2001. The reference is to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, an Arkansas native who played football at the University of Arkansas. Arkansas (the state and the university) is symbolized by the “razorback,” or “hog.” Other nicknames for the new Cowboys Stadium have been “Je

Dan Abramson: So A-Rod Juiced in High School? Didn't We All? - (USA)
According to a new book, Alex Rodriguez took steroids while in high school. Big whoop. The book also mentions that his Yankee teammates called him "Bitch Tits" in the locker room: a reference to his steroid induced, rounded man-breasts. (Side note: deciphering "B---h T--s," as it was printed in the articles I read, was like playing the best game of Wheel of Fortune ever.) But Alex Rodriguez should not be vilified for this.

Original TV & Movie Prop “Red Flags”: Detrimental Trends in the Marketplace - (USA)
I’ve noticed a number of trends on the rise of late, in the marketing and sale of original movie and television props and costumes in the marketplace, that are to the detriment of consumer hobbyists. From “Payment Before Provenance” to “COA Guarantees” paired with “All Sales Final” policies, I sometimes wonder if we are losing collectors faster than they are being cultivated, given the overall risks and omnipresent “buyer beware” atmosphere in which we collect. Coupled with eBay’s continuing
