Round-Up (Dec 12 2003 03:34 GMT) - I haven't had time -- or interest, maybe -- to do weblog posts lately. I think I'm going to archive links to a few of the articles I found interesting instead: Bush defends restrictions on Iraq contracts President Bush today defended the Pentagon's decision to restrict to "friendly coalition folks" the distribution of $18.6 billion in reconstruction contracts for Iraq.... |

- There's been a lot of talk about UTOPIA recently. There's definitely a lot more interest in the last few weeks, since UTOPIA let member cities know that they would need to underwrite the construction bonds. In the past, UTOPIA had promised cities that they would not be required to guarantee the bonds. Now that cities are being asked to put skin in the game, they are (rightly so) much more interested in kicking the tires and looking under the hood. No word yet on what other cities think, but Salt Lake City doesn't seem very positive about the responsibility. |

- One of UCLA's monikers is "Under Construction Like Always". No sooner do they finish spending donor and taxpayer money on a new neurobiology building than the gym leaks, or the Orphan Studies building needs to be torn down to make way for another parking structure. This time the Engineering I building is getting the wrecking ball, which means that the maddest of UCLA's mad scientists are going to be on the streets for the next four years. Seriously; these guys build nanobots and nuclear reactors. |
