- I didn't think they had it in them. The New York Times editorialises in favour of a Cubs-Red Sox World Series, consigning their home team Yankees to the dust. Keep those fingers crossed. |

- Two reasonably informed commentators reckon Paul Krugman has a decent shot at this year's Nobel prize in economics, perhaps together with Jagdish Bhagwati. |
|

|
- The truth, of course, is that the Nobel committees remain the last bastion of leak-proof deliberations. So, to steal a line from William Goldman, nobody knows anything. That being the case, I'll add my tuppence worth. By all accounts, Krugman's work in international trade is Nobel-worthy. |

- How could a magazine as clued up as MIT's Technology Review start a weblog without permalinks or RSS? I can only hope that they remedy the faults quickly, as writers like Rodney Brooks are always worth reading. |

- Tangled WebsWell, as far as I can understand it, this is the position...The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been trying to clamp down on telemarketing (cold-calling to you and me). It set up a do-not-call registry on which you can lodge your number if you do not wish to be pestered by marketers' phone calls. The telemarketers' industry association then went to court, arguing that their First Amendment rights were being violated by this high-handed government interference. On September 29 a judge (named Nottingham) agreed and granted the pests an order that barred the FTC from fining them for dialling registered numbers. |

- From Mark Morford of SF Gate:== Happy Groping Sexism And A Head Like A Brick ==Flags of intellectual acumen and nuanced understanding and generalspiritual lightness were at half mast today as Californians banishedmuch-loathed bland-as-oatmeal Gray Davis just 11 months into his secondterm and instead buried their heads in the sand and decided it's betterto trash their state completely than let it be run by whimpering jerks,and elected mediocre action hero and rather embarrassing actor andnoted sexist grope-aholic inarticulate completely inexperienced GOPlackey Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace him -- a Hollywood ending toone of the most extraordinary political melodramas in the nation'shistory, as well as one of the most adorably nauseating circusfreakshows of all time, though the pit-of-the-stomach nausea is but ahint of the pain wrought when BushCo bought the election and drove amonosyllabic icepick into the heart of the nation. Voters traded acareer Democratic politician who became one of the state's mostdespised chief executives for a moderate Republican megastar who hadnever before run for office and who is pretty much completelyunqualified in every possible way to run the most powerful state in thenation and the fifth largest economy in the world and whose happilynarcotized wife looks like something a drunken plastic surgeonpracticed on with Play-Doh and squirrel parts.

- Place your bets now. I saw Arafat on TV the other night, and he looked like he was already dead. Aides are now denying reports that he suffered a heart attack last week. Undoubtedly the famous delegator has taken steps to ensure an orderly transfer of power in the PA. As always, the smart money's on Cardinal Arinze should His Holiness win the race. |
