2007-11-06 04:03 Do You Track Your Day to Day Expenses
On and off again for the past few months I have tried to track my daily expenses. A lot of personal finance books, including Your Money or Your Life, recommend this technique as a means to track purchases and to rein in unnecessary and unplanned spending. This isn't the first time I've tried this technique, I've tried at least two other times, but have yet to maintain the practice for longer than two weeks at a time. I've decided to try again beginning November 1st. I've set a rather small goal …

2007-11-04 16:51 How to Rein in Iran Without War
By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 04/11/07): Iran is working to produce a 20-to-50-pound stockpile of enriched uranium that it can use to build atomic weapons within eight to 10 weeks, once it decides to do so - and has consistently lied to the United Nations about those efforts. That headline conclusion is one of two basic points that I draw from a series of private meetings on Iran 's nuclear ambitions involving diplomats, leading academic experts, senior military officers and experienced …

2007-10-25 12:05 A special project by Tatiana Margaux Bonhomme: "Do as you please (room n°2)..."
Each year, we will be asking a photographer to create a special project based on his/her stay at the Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche group hotels. He/she will also recreate a room as part of the project… This year, we decided to give the project to Tatiana Margaux Bonhomme, who is used to staying in hotels. She spent one night in each of ours, and here is the result: " Who are they and what is going through the minds of the people who work in the shadows of the hotel corridors They have all the keys, s …

True to Mark Rein's word, Epic has unleashed the Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo. Weighing in at a surprisingly reasonable 740MB, the demo can be downloaded over at FileShack. It includes three levels: a vehicle-based capture-the-flag map dubbed VCTF-Suspense, and two deathmatch maps titled DM-Heatray and DM-ShangriLA.

Defense & The War Mountain Runner has an excellent post up on how Congress is shirking its duties to rein in the private military corporations the administration will not. But since when has duty or public interest motivated either branch Indeed, while it's great there are laws on paper that handle contractor misconduct, there aren't any enforcement means, nor is there appropriate opprobrium for the lazy agencies that hired them. Taking a peek at how NATO struggles to define itself. Much like a …

[cross-posted to Lotus - Surviving a Dark Time ]...this should resolve the question once and for all: We are on our own. From today's Washington Post: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31 times and got off at least 23 laughs. But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the anger of the Democratic "base" over her failure to …

I always remember Iraqi women wearing ibaya in Najef and Kerbela, but everywhere else in Iraq it was always up to the woman, which is the way it should be. Iraqis divided by constitution's treatment of women Iraqi women in Baghdad line up to receive aid from the Iraqi Red Crescent Society. Head scarves are common; women have been killed for not observing strict Islamic dress codes. Supporters say Article 41 will keep the state out of civil affairs. Critics say it will usher in Sharia.

Image from AntiWar.com .The picture above is one of the least cruel at the the website. I could not bear to post any of the crueler depictions of the treatment of the prisoners at Abu Ghraib and have to look at it every time I went to my blog. But I keep in mind that the prisoners are living in the nightmare, and not simply hearing the stories and seeing the pictures. I've been digesting the long article on torture that was published in the New York Times last week. I printed it so I could read …

2007-10-05 22:24 Talent Wars for Accountants
Yep, you read that right. Since Sarbanes-Oxley was adopted in 2002, there's been an increasing demand for accountants. And how are accounting firms attracting new recruits Through stories. The Wall Street Journal reports that Deloitte and Touche, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is asking "employees to make short videos about their experiences at the company." 400 have been made and the best 14 will be posted on YouTube and used for campus recruiting. When I was a campus recruiter for Avaya …

In yet another editorial, Common Sense and Credit Cards, the New York Times has called for strong actions to rein in sharp credit card company practices that unfairly strip wealth from consumers, including college students. All too often, these companies sometimes deluge students with cards, even when they have no verifiable income, luring them and sometimes their families into debt.[...]Congress also needs to take a close look at the school-themed credit cards that are often offered by privatel …

Lanseringen av PS3-versionen av Unreal Tournament har tyvärr skjutits upp på obestämd tid. Epic och Midway fruktar att spelet kanske inte hinner bli klart innan årsskiftet. PC-releasen är dock opåverkad. "As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. But our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007", "However, we will only ship it once it's ready and is the best game we can deliver. The PC …

Central banks have shored up financial markets again with freshly digitized money. New money that has no corresponding value in the economy and is solely used to support unsupportable prices of illiquid investment instruments. After the give-in of the Bank of England earlier this week, which came to the rescue of financial institutions where managers are obviously not worth their money but still want to cash bonuses before bankruptcies. After this 10 billion pounds stint in the UK the European C …

2007-09-17 12:47 Hoodwinking NPR
This isn't the first time NPR has given readers and listeners the mistaken impression that Sen. Collins supports a bill that would mandate a withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. Granted, the junior senator has worked hard to conceal that even now, she's unwilling to support legislation that would rein the President in. But a national news organization like NPR shouldn't allow itself to get hoodwinked so easily.

On the anniversary, I feel like writing something about 9/11. This will have nothing to do with surgery, or medicine. If political rants on a medical blog annoy you, please click away now. My brother was living in NYC at the time, and had colleagues in the World Trade Center. He went to some funerals, after. At first I watched the images and wondered if he was OK, unable to get through. Like virtually every American, I was dumbstruck and horrified. And I wondered about people who hate that much, …

Our dinner with our neighbors went great! They seem like super nice people and we hope to get to know them better. The best part: they actually WANT to learn about adoption!

As you my readers know, I don't like Wal-Mart. I don't like their business model and I don't like what they have been doing to our country. My country. So when I attended the zoning ordinance variance approval meeting earlier this week, I would have loved to see them deny Wal-Mart a permit to expand their store here in our town into a Supercenter. But I knew that the board reviewing the permit really had no choice in the matter and were going to approve it before the meeting started. The battle …
