Deixando de lado a pergunta da manipulação liberal blatant da polarização e da notícia do jornal, Tempos de Los Angeles necessita realmente considerar o rehiring todos os proofreaders e copyeditors que colocou fora para conservar o dinheiro.
Está aqui um setnece que eu leio hoje na seção do negócio: “Chrysler está fechando a planta porque as vendas das versões do non-híbrido do SUVs têm vendido mal.”
As vendas… têm vendido mal? Um copyeditor fàcilmente poderia ter mudado aquele a “mover-se lentamente” para remover a redundância e o idiocy da construção “vendas… que vendem mal.”
Monitor da ciência Christian, um dos jornais os mais equilibrados no país, anunciado hoje que cessava sua publicação diária e a comutava a uma Correia-primeira política ao ainda publicar uma edição semanal da cópia.
Muitos observadores vêem o movimento como um harbinger do futuro para a maioria se não tudo os jornais diários, que perderam o rendimento do anúncio ao Internet e estão sendo forçados para downsize para trás e cortar operações.
“Julgando pelos números diminuindo da circulação e do rendimento, parece como ( Monitor) não teve uma opção aqui, “dito a Michael Hanley, um professor assistente do journalism na universidade de estado da esfera.
Leia a história cheia.
Vamos ver. AIG (American International Group) era incapaz de cobrir o seguro que emitiu em seguranças de mortgage e em outros instrumentos financeiros speculative, assim os ESTADOS UNIDOS. governo (lido: nós os taxpayers) têm que pônei acima de $90 assim a companhia poderíamos estabelecir suas reivindicações de seguro e remanescer na existência.
Nós temos provavelmente tudo ouvido sobre os recuos pródigos AIG prendidos após o bailout. Agora, hoje eu li este headline no Tempos de Los Angeles: “AIG para congelar algum pagamento do exec.”
Como sobre lhes fazer o pagamento para trás os bônus eles começaram para todo o que uncoverable (lido: ) seguro que bogus venderam?
Though if I were to agree with an economist most times and overall, it would be Milton Friedman, on the advice of Mad Money host Jim Cramer, I just read The Great Crash 1929 by economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
I’m not one to read books about the dismal science in general, but Cramer’s advice definitely was timely, so after reading it, I too am recommending Galbraith’s book unhesitatingly. It’s a great read and highly enlightening.
Great Crash is written in a common-sense, common-person’s style that makes it a quick, engaging read. (I finished it off in about three hours or less.) However, you may want to look up the definitions of these words before reading it: usufruct, eupeptic and parthenogenesis. Otherwise, you’ll encounter clear, concise, simple writing.
I must confess that, after reading Great Crash, I now have a more liberal leaning on governmental intervention in the economy, as Galbraith makes it clear that easy steps could’ve been taken to ameliorate and end the Great Depression possibly while it was in its early stages. (Hint: Don’t balance the budget and keep money flowing.)
I found this passage on the next-to-last page of the book most illuminating for our current crisis:
"…it would be unwise to expose the economy to the shock of another major speculative collapse. Some the new reinforcements might buckle. Fissures might appear at other new and perhaps unexpected places. Even the quick withdrawal from the economy of the spending that comes from stock market gains might be damaging."
Might?
Editor’s Note: Beaufort Books is the same firm that published O.J. Simpson’s "If" book, and The Jewel of Medina has been largely panned as featuring little more than second-class romance novel writing.

“The Jewel of Medina,” a controversial work of historical fiction by American author Sherry Jones, was supposed to have gone on sale Oct. 15 in the United Kingdom. A series of events, however, have delayed its British release indefinitely. The book, which went on sale in the United States on Oct. 6, describes the life of Aisha, the young girl who became the Prophet Mohammed’s third — and according to many sources, favorite — wife
.
Some Muslims have labeled the book blasphemous and have branded the author an enemy of Islam. An associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Texas at Austin said Muslims would find the book very offensive and, in an August interview in The Wall Street Journal, likened it to soft-core pornography.

Maybe I should’ve used scene instead of seen in keeping with the misspelling and misusage of two-day (I can only figure they meant today, right?).
