Paul Singh Is a Machine
Yesterday on my bike ride home from work I crossed paths with Paul along the river road near the Washington bridge by the U of M. Paul is training for Twin Cities Marathon this October. Jude, just so you know, Paul looks tough. He cannot be persuaded be the entreaties of fatigue. He cannot be stopped.
While I'm speaking of Paul...
Here's his Geography Honors Project:
Unrecognized Potential Along Twin Cities Commercial Corridors
Abstract
The economic vitality of the commercial corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul is imperative to the well-being of inner-city neighborhoods. In order to assist community groups with redevelopment along the corridors, this publication identifies commercial revitalization using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) model. One commercial corridor that was found to be experiencing greater success than was predicted by the GIS model is the section of Nicollet Avenue known as Eat Street. The history of Eat Street highlights several strategies that can assist community groups with their redevelopment efforts.

I will waste your time too
This article from yesterday's Star Tribune gets the "Biggest Pile of Shit" and Biggest Waste of Space" journalism awards.
President is way too pumped up about exercise
by Jonathan Chait
Summary
The President has an obsession with exercise; apparently, exercise = obsession.
The President spends too much time on exercise; up to one hour, oh my deity.
The Press Secretary said "The president finds (exercise) very healthy in terms of ... keeping in shape. But it's also good for the mind."
What does Jonathan "Shitting Pen" Chait have to say about that?
"The notion of a connection between physical and mental potency is, of course, silly."
Wow.
Why can most of us not exercise?
"Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs."
Again, wow.

Mirror, Water, Energy
Main Street in the Cross Hairs
Wireless identity theft by means of intercepting stores' credit card transactions.
Who's That Strange Monkey in the Mirror?
Self-recognition. Who recognizes the reflection in the mirror. Apes, dolphins, humans. How do we recognize ourselves, especially our faces.

Bid by Chevron in Big Oil Deal Thwarts China
Not so fast with that headline. On August 10, Unocal sharholders will vote on offers. The current CNOOC offer, which is higher than Chevron's, was rejected because of political risk. To accept the CNOOC offer, Unocal wants financial guarantees if CNOOC walks away from a deal or if the offer is blocked by the U.S. Congress.
Chinese End Maytag Offer; 2 Suitors Left
Whirlpool has the highest offer.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are resurgent lately.
Who's doing well? Intel, Yahoo, US Bank, Wells Fargo, International Paper, Merrill Lynch, IBM.
Kodak, Posting Another Loss, to Lay Off 10,000
G.M Posts Third Straight Quarterly Loss
Ford Motor's Earnings Decline 19% in the Quarter
Ford's financial arm is responsible for an infusion of revenue into the struggling company. What exactly does Ford's financial arm do? Car loans. Ford's Premier Automotive Group includes Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover and Volvo.
Johnson and Johnson will probably delay its purchase of Guidant.
Northwest Airlines is anticipating a action that may precipitate a 30-day countdown until a strike by mechanics. Northwest is renegotiating labor contracts to avoid bankruptcy. Pilots already made concessions.
Caribou, a coffee house started in Minnesota, may put forth an IPO. Only on two occasions has Caribou had a year in the black.
What did the Fed Chief say?
Greenspan Signals Further Rate Increases
Olympic bomber gets life in jail

Headlines
From the NY Times:
Tired of Prying Off Stickers? Tattooed Fruit Is on the Way
P.L.U. (price look-up) days are numbered. Names, identifying numbers, countries of origin and other information that helps speed distribution are burned onto the outer layer of the skin. Sell advertising space on food skin.
Hewlett-Packard to Lay Off 14,500 to Save $1.9 Billion
U.S. to Broaden India's Access to Nuclear-Power Technology
A Gene for Romance? So It Seems (Ask the Vole)
This article is a good read. If you need more convincing: "The male mouse's rule for dealing with strangers is simple - if it's male, attack it; if female, mate with it. But male mice that are genetically engineered to block the scent-detecting vomeronasal cells try to mate rather than attack invading males."
Hunting for Life in Specks of Cosmic Dust
Looking for another Earth, I recommend reading Rare Earth.
Housing Goes Frothy to Flat in Denver Area
Five years ago, median house prices were rising at an annual clip of nearly 17 percent. By the first quarter of 2005 the increase had slipped to 3 percent.
How Costco Became the Anti-Wal-Mart
Good article. Please shop at Costco. Costco was founded with a single store in Seattle in 1983.
From Nate’s Site:
While eating irony pizza, Norm Coleman speaks, presumably with unction, about others playing partisan politics.
Star Tribune article
Roots of gang violence feed off 60s
by Katherine Kersten, Minnesota’s Worst Writer (trademark)
You must read this article. Katherine Kersten's brain is a shit-brown think tank. Obfuscation. Dark brown shit in the way. From Latin ob- in the way + fuscus dark brown.
Spengler from ATOL:
Harry Potter and the Decline of the West
Spengler is always amusing.

Why Martyrdom
From ATOL:
Suicide Bombers: Allah's New Martyrs
by Farhad Khosrokhavar
"Khosrokhavar's psychoanalytical exegesis, drawn from numerous interviews of hardcore Islamists, is compulsory reading for persuasively rationalizing the irrational actions that dot the terrorist map of the 21st century. It provides madness a much-deserved reason and context."
Here's my doggerel summary of what I've heard on the subject:
Why do suicide bombers suicide bomb?
1. They hate freedom.
who knows how you started hating freedom
perhaps you were Muslim
beset with a modern reality of futility and meaningless in the wake of hegemony
overcome by life's indifference and ambiguity
a derelict human being
suffering from divine neglect
facing military superiority, material superiority
facing pervasive cultural decadence, shamefully tempting
by many measures, you are inferior
as a result, you are humiliated
you are in extreme crisis
you are extreme Islam
you find recourse in moral superiority
succor in self-assertion
restoration of dignity through offensive martyrdom
I am reminded of a book I read a few years ago.

Guest Post 2: At the movies
On Sunday afternoon, the S.O. and I traveled to Block E to see the new Tom Cruise flick, The War of the Worlds. The action was excellent, and I recommend seeing this film on the big screen. Supposedly this film has made over $100 million in less than one week. Tom Cruise is dreamy.
A movie I haven't seen (yet) is Batman Begins. Supposedly, this film promotes free markets and small government and is becoming a hit with the Atlas Shrugged crowd. Apparently, both Jesus and Batman are libertarians.

Guest Post 1: Great Moments in Freedom
In the absence of Dr. Bane, currently touring the Great West, I have the fortunate opportunity to guest blog. I am honored. For the next week, pardon the capitalization and punctuation.
But I digress. On the heels of the country's 229th birthday, I thought I would share an account of my Independence day. I rolled out of bed around 10 AM, scratched myself, and went to the dog park at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. Neither my future wife nor I have a dog, but my S.O. (significant other) used to live with a girl who had a dog, and occasionally we still like to see the dog. I dressed in my red, white, and blue swim trunks, a similarly colored t-shirt, and my freedom visor. I was the only person at the park in celebratory colors. Clearly the liberal moonbats of Minneapolis hate America. After about 2 hours at the dog park, I took the S.O. home and was on my way to the house of Bane when I was waved down at an intersection. The man who stopped me was clearly of middle-eastern ethnicity, but I stopped anyway. He asked if I could jump start his car. I said I didn't have cables, which was a lie. He had cables, so I felt obligated to help because the tone of my first response implied that I would help if I did have cables. In a thick Syrian (as I learned later) accent he said his car was dead, 3 houses down, in the alley, behind the house. Hmmmm. To many men, this might cause alarm. But to me, dressed as I was, I sent a clear message- Don't fuck with freedom. Anyway, I gave him a jump, we made small talk, and he was very grateful. He wanted to reward me for my kind deed, and offered me some crafts of his trade, 4 lighters and an ashtray. (The kind Syrian man works in a tobacco shop). The lighters were quite normal, 3 bics and one novelty lighter that looks like a stack of 5 poker chips. The ashtray is quite a different story. The tricolored tray boasts a marijuana leaf in the middle, with the word "LEGALIZE" curved underneath the leaf.
The message was clear. This was a sign on Independence Day, an Independence Omen. What says 'I love freedom' more than an ashtray proclaiming the futility of the war on drugs, calling for the legalization of drugs so that our prisons won't be filled with young men and women who committed victimless crimes, crying out for the right to own yourself. Thank you kind Syrian, for your message of freedom.
