Increased productivity due to US working harder (Dec 03 2003 16:56 GMT) - Productivity has been at near-record levels for some months now with little sign of a matching increase in job creation. Businesses are underpinning improving profits through aggressive cost-cutting, which usually means working existing employees harder and laying off staff, rather than hiring new ones. |

NPR ONDCP ID (Dec 03 2003 16:54 GMT) - Bruce Mirken of the Marijuana Policy Project reports an amusing e-mail exchange he recently had with NPR ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin about the radio network's policy regarding the identification of sponsors. Mirken noted that an announcement during Morning Edition "refers to the underwriter as 'ONDCP,' followed by a short tag line about how parents should be involved in their kids' lives. The use of an acronym unfamiliar to most listeners, combined with the ultra-innocuous tag line, seems calculated to obscure the fact that the underwriter is in fact the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy." Mirken continued: Given ONDCP's involvement in promoting and maintaining controversial and unpopular policies such as the arrest and jailing of seriously ill people who use medical marijuana, it's not hard to see why they would choose to be semi-clandestine about their sponsorship. |

Something I was watching yesterday... (Dec 03 2003 16:54 GMT) - Rafe Colburn: "The great thing about the Internet is that there are usually other people around who are willing to do what you're too lazy to do yourself, and then post about it. A Metafilter user called the Socorro, New Mexico police about Jorn Barger's disappearance, and reports that the police made contact with Barger weeks ago, and that he is basically on walkabout." |
