Powell forces press aide to let him

Powell forces press aide to let him
answer Meet the Press question 05/17/2004 06:11 AM
Colin Powell appeared on Meet the Press this weekend, and his appearance was marred by his press secretary moving the camera and attempting to end the interview early when Russert, the interviewer, started to ask a hardball question about the fictional Nigerian yellow-cake uranium that Powell used as an excuse to go to war in Iraq.

Most noteworthy about this event was that Powell, rebuked the press-secretary on air, demanded that the camera be trained on him again, and then answered the question, describing the intelligence he'd received as "deliberately misleading."

Lisa Rein's got the video up -- highly recommended.

EMILY MILLER, STATE DEPARTMENT PRESS AIDE: You're off.

SECRETARY POWELL: I am not off.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: No. They can't use it, they're editing it.

SECRETARY POWELL: He's still asking the questions.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: He was not ...

SECRETARY POWELL: Tim, I am sorry I lost you.

MR. RUSSERT: I am right here Mr. Secretary. I would hope they would put you back on camera. I don't know who did that.

EMILY MILLER, PRESS AIDE: He was going to go for another five minutes.

SECRETARY POWELL: We've really scre...

MR. RUSSERT: I think that was one of your staff Mr. Secretary. I don't think that's appropriate.

SECRETARY POWELL: Emily, get out of the way. Bring the camera back please. (Camera returns to the interview subject) I think we're back on Tim, go ahead with your last question.

Honest Accounting Rules

Honest Accounting Rules 12/19/2004 03:18 PM

Mercury News: Sto ck options rules issued. Accounting rule makers handed down long-awaited final guidelines Thursday that will force companies to deduct the value of billions of dollars of employee stock options from reported profits starting in mid-2005. The change, which is intended to give investors a more accurate picture of companies' compensation costs, is expected to reshape how workers are paid in Silicon Valley and the technology industry.

The tech industry and its backers are spinning this as a disaster, as if telling shareholders what's actually going on with their money is wrong. In a recent column I wrote:

"The tech industry invites ridicule when it complains that expensing options would create misleading financial statements. Yet today's financial reports already involve creative fiction in many cases. (Defenders of options insist, unconvincingly, that today's statements are entirely clear.) To listen to the industry, investors are smart enough to figure out the real deal under the current misleading accounting system. Yet the very same investors will suddenly become too stupid to grasp a different accounting system that also has some fuzzy features."

There are ways to calculate the value of the options. They aren't perfect, but they're a lot more honest than the current system, which pretends they have essentially no impact. Now the tech barons will say they have to curb options grants to the rank-and-file and keep them only for senior executives. This will mock the executives' longstanding claim that the purpose of options was to align employees' interests with the shareholders' interests. A few companies have spread the options around. But for many, they were granted largely to the top folks in any event -- a way of hiding the value of massive compensation packages from shareholders. Time for Silicon Valley to wake up and stop cooking the books. Will we?

Nomic World: By the players, for the
players 05/26/2004 03:15 PM
[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

Skippy sez, "I just received a note from MoveOn.org about their effort to help the Verified Voting Foundation monitor electronic voting this year:"

The non-partisan Verified Voting Foundation is working with other voter protection groups to make sure every vote is counted, focusing its efforts on the new electronic voting terminals we're all concerned about.

Their program is called TechWatch, and it will help reduce the risk that votes will be lost or miscounted by these machines and other technology.
