It turns out there is a investigation going on in New Mexico surrounding the relationship between the Governor's office, the New Mexico Finance Authority and a financial consulting company named CDR Financial Products. Apparently, in 2004 CDR donated $100,000 to Governor Richardson's efforts to register Native American and Hispanic voters. Shortly after, CDR performed advisory work for the ...

Unrelated and often random comments from the incoming Congress and administration are beginning to create a tapestry of remarkable pessimism and diminished hope. No one believes now that the economy can be fixed fairly quickly even with a new $750 billion bailout package. There was little reason to anticipate that this plan, designed to put hundreds of billions of dollars over two years into national infrastructure with a target of creating three million jobs, would ...

China can't go into a recession. Its GDP has grown at close to 10% for half a decade. It is the largest supplier to the world. Its new middle class consumes products and services so voraciously that much of China's manufacturing capacity is taken up by the needs of hundreds of millions of its own people. But, the pace at which economic change can happen now has increased exponentially. A bank can go form being ...

Experts keep saying that there is only so much bailout money to go around. That going around is getting bigger as states and municipalities try to figure out what to do as their tax revenues fall apart and the credit markets get so tight that they have to pay exorbitant interest rates for bond issues. Several states including California, Florida, and Michigan have already hit the tipping point. It is likely that they will begin ...

With the rise of the US automobile industry, the bicycle almost disappeared as a means of transportation in America. It became a 19th Century relic like wooden teeth. The only person in the United States who rides regularly now is racing champion Lance Armstrong. Emerging nations are also pushing aside the bicycle in favor of the car. In late 2003, the communist government banned the use of bikes on major roads in Shanghai, although satellite ...

The two most brutal recessions in recent memory are those that hit in 1973 and 1981. It appears that holiday retail sales for 2008 were worse than they were in either of those downturns. According to Reuters,"The U.S. holiday shopping season is the worst since at least 1970 due to the recession, heavy discounting and harsh winter weather just before Christmas, the International Council of Shopping Centers said."While the look back at the last two ...

The Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday announced that it has approved new rules to "modernize its oil and gas company reporting requirements." Well, modernization, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. The SEC did not publish the new rules yet, but a 172-page draft was published in June that described the proposed changes. Here are some of the more general changes: * Allows using new technology (3-D/4-D seismic) to calculate proved reserves, if ...

CNN's Beijing bureau chief Jaime FlorCruz arrived in China from the Phillipines in 1971. He was supposed to stay for three weeks, but while he was away from home, President Marcos declared martial law in the Phillippines and jailed his critics. FlorCruz was a leftist activist in the 1970s, and he was blacklisted and consequently exiled in China. He studied Chinese and worked on farms and fishing boats in rural China before starting work as ...

元タレントの飯島愛さん(36)が24日、都内の自宅マンションで死亡しているのが見つかった。警視庁で、自殺の可能性があるとみて調べている。 飯島さんは昨年3月にタレント活動を引退。ブログなどで近況を報告していたが、今年2月には「ノイローゼ」で通院治療していたことなどを告白していた。 11月30日の書き込みでは、「時々、急に、寂しくなったりしませんか?」などとふさぎこむ内容が記されていた。 飯島愛さんはテレビ東京系の深夜番組「ギルガメッシュないと」でTバックの女王として人気を集め、セクシータレントとして活躍。その後、テレビのコメンテーターとして活躍するなど、マルチな活躍を見せた。2000年には、半自伝的な小説「プラトニック・セックス」を出版。AV出演で性病感染した経験や、整形手術なども告白する衝撃的な内容でベストセラーとなった。同書は映画化やテレビドラマ化もされるなど、性感染症予防の啓蒙活動でも知られた。 在你的书箱底翻出那本破旧的写真集,从书架顶上取下落满灰尘的5寸盘,去电视柜里找出那张《柏拉图式的性爱》VCD。然后上网,登录你6位数或者5位数的QQ,如果友邻列表里的那些老家伙还没死光的话,请告诉他们:2008年圣诞,我们的饭岛爱死了。 再晚几年,我们就要彻底变成道貌岸然的中年人,肚腩隆起,满面油光。听到这个消息的时候,面无表情,很随意地问一句:饭岛爱是谁?你当然应该记得,她是那年夏天你生命中第一本写真集,她是学习ARJ命令释放IMG文件的动力,她是那些烟雾缭绕的哥们聚会里的话题核心,在年轻的唇齿上打着滚,跳跃着,消失在各自泛滥无边性幻想的粉红色纱幕深处。 我们和李宗盛他们想得不同,李宗盛他们说:“我梦见和饭岛爱一起晚餐,梦中的餐厅灯光太昏暗,我遍寻不著那蓝色的小药丸。”这就是少年人和中年人不同,他们更多地考虑技术层面的问题。会有餐厅,会有伟哥,会有欲望达成的计划和步骤。但是我们不同,饭岛爱的写真是清纯之火,燃烧在世界的另一头。让当时那些荷尔蒙浓度在高点、IQ在低点的我们看到了希望,看到了美好,以及生活在未来所有的可能。纯粹的欲望,纯粹的青春。 今天,李宗盛的晚餐也只能是吃晚餐而已了。我们则进入这个世界多年,现在站在舞台的正中。该有的都有了,不该有的也没有耽误。只是偶尔也会有那么一刻,觉得空前富足的同时也觉得空前荒芜。步入了自己曾经梦想过的成人世界,就是写真成为真人的那个世界。大概所有人都觉得其实并不一样,现实和当年的热望相比,也许热望本身才是最美好的。饭岛爱是这个世界的广告,让人向往莫名,却又在抵达之后深感失落。 我们和她终于身处同一时空,但是饭岛爱暗示的那个美好世界却终究没有出现。现在,甚至她本人也已经自杀身亡。需要多少本写真,多少部电影才能支撑这样一个世界?可以让目光始终投向远方,可以让欲望长存不灭?饭岛爱曾经是前往未知世界的路引,如今她已经不在了,我们是否还有继续前进的理由? 青春期说的是一个人觉得自己可以永远奔跑下去,因为他相信前方有什么在等待着自己,就像饭岛爱让人迷乱的神情。如今,饭岛爱死了,漫长的青春期也就随之结束。忘记她,就像自己从未年轻过一样。在未来的无数个圣诞节前夜,为自己喝酒增加一个秘而不宣的理由。
