Law Professors on Regulation - (USA)
"Regulation and Regulatory Processes" by Coglianese and Kagan. Abstract: Regulation of business activity is nearly as old as law itself. In the last century, though, the use of regulation by modern governments has grown markedly in both volume and significance, to the point where nearly every facet of today's economy is subject to some form of regulation. When successful, regulation can deliver important benefits to society; however, regulation can also impose undue costs on the economy and, wh

The Awkward Brunch - (USA)
by Stella Concentration is a wonderful thing. Too bad I don’t have enough of it. You’ll understand why in a minute. Recently I had a conversation with another friend who writes and we got onto the subject of influence – the process itself – the analyses, the imitations, the parodies, ultimately ending in absorption. Naturally name-dropping followed – who, when, how, why. My list wasn’t difficult to make: Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Virginia Woolf, Harper Lee, Billy Wilder, Orson Welles, Howard

The Malay Dilemma - (USA)
From New Yorker By Ian Buruma KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s voice was barely audible above the background din of chattering guests and a cocktail-bar pianist at the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Anwar — who had rebounded from six years in prison on corruption and sodomy charges to become the best hope for a more democratic, less corrupt Malaysia — speaks softly. He is still under constant surveillance, he said. Sensitive political business has to be handled in other

By Noam Chomsky. Republished from Znet 11/25/08 Noam Chomsky: Tireless critic of Western imperialism. Routinely blackballed by the corporate media he remains far less well known and influential at home than abroad.

Spam: How It Could Cost You More Than A Sale. - (USA)
by Brian V Shortt Spam. The very word is almost a four letter expletive these days something that must never be uttered in polite society. One place where it should most absolutely never be voiced is in the world of internet business. One great anecdote is from Microsoft’s own Bill Gates: “Like almost everybody who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.” If the pioneer of the individual computer isn’t immune to spam t

Populating a Brave New World - (USA)
In a move that surprises no one, Leonardo DiCaprio is angling to get cast in Ridley Scott’s adaptation of Brave New World . Since DiCaprio’s production company (Appian Way) had already optioned the rights, it was pretty much inevitable that he’d want in, and while the article doesn’t confirm any casting, it hints that DiCaprio would like to get his hands on the role of pivotal Alpha citizen Bernard Marx. I’d be surprised if DiCaprio didn’t go for Oscar bait John Savage instead—that frowny-b

Is Your Advertising Agency a Practice or a Business? Vernon C. Kenny, MD When I was a kid, Doc Kenny was our family physician. His office was over a hardware store in our village. When I had an ear-ache or it was time for a vaccination, mom would send me off to see the doctor. I’d trudge up the stairs to his office with the five dollar bill she had given me to pay him for the visit. Although he was a lone practitioner, Dr. Kenny took good care of me and my family.

Is It Wrong To Be Bisexual? Should I Explore My Sexuality? (Video) - (USA)
Many people experiment sexually when they’re young. How many “college stories” have you heard where a girl got a little more than friendly with her roommate? Being young is all about experimentation and finding out what you like, whether it’s something to do with sex, a job, music, art or even food. You’re learning about yourself as you’re growing up. So you may be experimenting sexually, but what would determine your sexual orientation ? Are you bisexual if you have a sexual encounter with som

Do not discount the threat of peak oil Last week, the government published a review of the UK’s energy security situation. In a report commissioned by the prime minister, Malcolm Wicks, the former energy minister, pronounced that “there is no crisis”. His findings were in marked contrast to those of the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security, which concluded last year that the economy faces a clear and present energy-security threat. The taskforce, a group that includes Vir
