McClain broke the Enron corruption story long before anyone else. This is an excellent look back with detail on how Ken Lay and other Enron execs tried to stop her article from being published.

The proposal to defund NPR was the latest winning item on the Republicans' gimmicky YouCut site, which allows the public to pick the cuts they would like to see receive an up-or-down vote on the House floor. In order to get these votes, they try to make a procedural vote on an unrelated piece of legislation the vote on the YouCut item.

Bethany McLean Reads from All the Devils Are Here
On Monday, November 29, a vote will be taken on the Harkin amendment, which is merely a rephrasing of the bill with some new wording that came out of committee.
After that, a vote is planned for the bill itself, meaning S.510 could be passed into law on November 29th.
Additional debate time might be invoked for various amendments to the bill, as there are some motions still pending (Johanns, Baucus, Coburn). So it's not a given thing that a final vote will happen on Nov 29th.

As i can realize, you became a digital-news economy editor. I´m very happy hearing of you working very hard and hope you are sucessful, because you are worth!.
It´s awfully difficult for me to understand pieces of news and economic reports, because of the vocabulary and expressions you use.
I dare sending you this video, which I hope you enjoy and don´t give me the sack!!: http://www.ecologistasenaccion.org/spip.php?article19094
Please write back and tell me of you, it´s very long (...longer than 20 years!) I don´t hear of you. I have many things to tell you, here in Spain and in Europe we (they) growed our own perfect crisis, ...and the crop was excellent!
Very happy to hear of you!!!

Miguel...I'm just waking up on a Sunday morning...I want my regulars to know this story and I will explain it in more detail in later posts...23 years ago I spent my 3rd-year abroad from the university of virginia and studied in spain instead...i lived in a dorm that is more akin to american fraternitites...there was a 'rush' period, pledges, etc...and this dorm had it's own bar, soccer-bullfighting field, movie room and dorms for about 250 people i think...it was co-ed...
And on the first night i arrived there, Miguel came walking up to me and he said "Hi, I am Cartagena, I'm from Mississippi..."
Which of course was complete bullshit i knew immediately because of his thick accent...but he had an open spot in his suite and he graciously offered the spot to me...over time i will tell some of the crazy stories...but suffice it to say, that miguel found me about a month ago thru this website, and sent me an email..we had not spoken in 23 years...
he is a pharmacist (owns his own) and almond farmer in southern spain...are you still growing olives, miguel?...He has advanced degrees in science...he's brilliant but also very funny and sarcastic...
i never have time to email back and forth with him and so i told him to come to the site and we could talk here...
So miguel thank you for coming...
Miguel...Is your farmacia open on weekends? OR do you shut down every Friday until Monday...
As I said before, with more colorful language, if we let economic man shove everyone else out of the room, including government regulators, then we deserve what we get.
I agree with the Wall Street guys who blame all the people who took out mortgages they knew they couldn't afford and I agree with Jon Stewart that the Wall Street guys are immoral bastards.
What I would like to know is, when are people going to stop ONLY writing and reading books and griping to each other on the internet, and start doing something?
That´s true, first I told you my nickname at fraternity "Cartagena", and said the words that came to my mind in that exact moment in the fiesta prepared to welcome all you (becuase a group of American students had come to stay with us for just the middle of our course), and as I red in childhood Lucky Luke comics, I flashed you..."I´m from Missisipi", Je, Je, !!!
My doble room was in one of the two towers of that lovely old building, and was the most quiet and best place to study hard. The academic course had just started and people there had their own rooms assigned at the long corridors. That same day, the director told me that I had to look for a partner no longer to share my doble room, as my before partner had finished studying Medicine and had become a Doctor and had gone away to work in hospital. Therefore, of all the American students group, something told me you would be an excellent partner and that´s why you stayed at the dorm sharing my room, not for just half corse, but all year. We worked hard, and lived in Granada for that year learning like good university students, you came home and we enjoyed so much, because we did not lose time and we had a very useful year.
I close my Pharmacy at saturday afternoon until sunday (if I have not to work when it is urgency turn), and then go farming. We still can grow our own almonds, olives (pure olive oil), lemon, oranges, prickly pear and carobs (200 hectars)... as Monsanto and other specimen, do not annoy us directly yet.
You start remembering, and things seem to have happened yesterday, but I am thinking in this menwhile, of what it happens today all over the world, and is that all our best wishes of all people who were born in 60´s and 70´s, who went to university or worked for an encouraging and hopeful future, some few fucking stupid people want to wrench from all us.
I hope after 23 years we´ve encountered again, we shall be able to net work for another world... I believe it, and I shall.
Warmly,
Miguel

you are going to have a friend here, Miguel...his name is S. Gompers...he is one of the regulars...and he farms...

Miguel...your english really is excellent mi amigo...muy bien...
Yo llevo 23 anos sin hablar ni escribir el espanol, pero se me ha quedado bastante...
It is said in Europe that this subjetcs are connected with banks and big corporations´s intentions, as they are expoilling and accaparating thousands of hectars all over the world (mainly in Africa and South America), kicking local inhabitants to poorness, transforming into monocolour transgenic and bio-oil all landscape, and loosing (for ever) agrobiodiversity because of transgenics.
Recently (this last summer) essential food like wheat, was target for investers in Wall street, so speculation with lives, land and hunger, is on the share holders minds as a sweet bussiness. So, if you buy your own home, you´ll be owe banks for many years, but if you save and keep money into the bank, they will invest in this or another dark kind of businesses.
Thank you,
Miguel
the irish bailout should make yields on spanish and portuguese bonds fall...it will calm everyone down...but portugal is the next country to need a bailout...

i'm going to sleep for a few hours...I have been awake all night...

Search of a bank locker used by them and personal search of his wife led to a total recovery of more than 10 kg of gold and Rs 29 lakh in cash – the overall value of which came approximately to Rs 2.43 crore at the current prices of gold, the CBI release said.
A CBI official said the CMD always preferred taking gold in bribe because it, unlike cash, never depreciated in value and hence was a better investment option.
Nalco has a total investment of about Rs 30,000 crore in aluminium sector, most of which is in Orissa.
Srivastava’s arrest has come at a time Nalco had drawn up ambitious plans to transform itself from being only an aluminium producer to become a global metal producer and energy provider.

Buffett gave an aggressive earnings forecast for Berkshire's collection of businesses, said the company would engage in record capital spending and forecast a recovery in the housing market would start within a year.
Foremost, though, was his acknowledgment of the need for Berkshire to expand its non-insurance businesses, a broad collection that most prominently includes the railroad Burlington Northern and the electric utility MidAmerican.
"Our elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy," Buffett said. The letter was released just before 8 a.m. EST Saturday, as it is in most years -- and many large investors say they get up early that day to read it the moment it comes online.
Flashback: "There is a class war on and we are winning"
Comment: You don't have to rub it in Warren.
NM: Mr. Cheyenne, do you have an investment advisor?
C: Of course. Tannoo. He got me into Philip Morris, Merck, Conoco Phillips, you name it. Guy's a genius. Heard of him?
NM: Ahhh, not... Where is he out of?
C: He's at Ashland and 17th, runs the car wash there. For $11, I get Tannoo's top stock picks and a spotless Benz with a super shine on the tires. Talk about value.
That generally ended those discussions. The $1000 cocktails offered by those salesmen is a curious mix of stupidity and hubris. Of course the guys who had their money with those over-the-hill frat boys got annihilated in 2008.

The best resource is a PACER account. This gives you access to all court filings and rulings. Jurisdictions vary, but in general you can get into the briefs and supporting documents (depo's, aff's, company docs + emails).
Next best, imo, is google scholar. But unless the court has issued an opinion of some sort (e.g., a summary judgment ruling), you're not likely to get much.
In either case, having the case no., e.g., 09-C-0235, is very helpful.
Hope that helps.

Sharia Law Financing (Wall Street) Selling Our Souls

What do ya think about this ???
[Editor: I think you need to stop spamming the comments section. This is the 2nd or 3rd time you've posted this novel-length comment about Sharia. Enough.]
Glad not to have opened the door on that one.
Speaking generally, I can tell you two things. One, trade secret cases are a bitch to prove up. Two, the Sword of Damocles over a naughty (American) corporation's head is a jury trial.
Make it past summary judgment and odds are you'll be happy.
