The CBS Implosion 09/18/2004 06:32 PM

Tim Ruten (LA Times; reg req): Rather went on faith, not facts. CBS' initial report on President Bush's National Guard service was an embarrassment to Murrow's legacy. But the implications of that mistake pale alongside the potential consequences of the network's continuing refusal to do what the situation now demands: to forthrightly admit error, to undertake an independent inquiry and, then, to give a clear public accounting of how this happened. If the current custodians of CBS News willfully refuse to keep faith with their viewers, they will have disgraced Murrow's memory.

The Health Care Implosion

The Health Care Implosion 05/25/2004 01:22 PM

Mercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since 1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown substantially.

The health care system, or at least the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point. Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to national health care, as every single other industrialized nation provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves millions without care of any kind? Or something else? The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers. This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy. I'm working on some columns on this topic. Let me know what you think.

Boston-area bank suggestion? (Bank of

Boston-area bank suggestion? (Bank of
America is not dog-friendly) 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

My bank has been purchased, for about the fifth time.  Currently it is called "Bank of America."  None of the previous changes of ownership or name bothered me but this time the new color scheme came with "no dogs allowed" signs in the front of every branch office.  I'm not sure that I can stomach 0.2% interest if I can't have a dog at my side to provide some comfort as inflation and corporate looters erode my turbine-powered helicopter fund.  Anyone have a suggestion for a dog-friendly bank in the Boston area?

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has established this facility to promote the search and dissemination of economic research published by central banks.
The facility is built on the principle of crawlers that search research content from selected central banks websites on a daily basis. The Research Hub e-mail alert will keep its users informed about new research published on any of the websites of the participating central banks. Subscribers to the free e-mail alert can select specific topics and reception frequencies to keep their e-mail volumes under control.
The BIS hopes that this facility will make research work on central banking topics more widely accessible to the central banks and the academic community at large.

This story is real. It is a story about a banking issue that really turned into a eye-opening experience about big business in America. So, you have seen the commercials for Altovis(tm)? It’s supposedly to help with fatigue during your busy work week. Well, I'm a U.S. Marine, and my job wears me out on a daily basis, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it. They give you a free trial; you just pay S&H and it all seems easy enough. Well, I fell for the trap. I paid the $5, and was sent a small packet which I tried out. It didn't really do anything for me, so I trashed them. And so the adventure begins.

I have it mostly because their interest rate on their checking account is quite good (1.92%, for now ...). Actually, that's the only reason I have an account there. Anyway, I have a check for some GBP laying around, so I called them to find out what they'd charge and which exchange rate they'd use and so...

A little bit reminiscent of the Dotcom boom, e-bank “Egg” is still looking for a buyer. The “bank” was put up for sale by Prudential in the U.K. who happens to own a 79 percent stake in the failing e-bank. While hopes are high that a buyer will be found eventually, I remain a bit skeptical….
