September 2001 -- On June 28, New York became the first state to pass a ban on using a handheld cell-phone while driving. Governor George Pataki, who had earlier issued an executive order banning state employees from using state-issued handheld cell phones while driving, quickly signed the bill into law. As of December 1, a motorist caught using a cell-phone while driving in New York State will be fined $100. Governor Pataki justified the law by characterizing drivers' use of cell-phones as "an enormous threat to public safety." On the talk-radio circuit, listeners and hosts joined in the chorus by complaining about swerving drivers and near-miss accidents. Some forty other states and many more local communities are considering bans on using cell phones while driving. And on Capitol Hill, the U.S. Congress held hearings on the issue. Only Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Almond has had the courage to buck this trend and veto his legislature's attempt to ban the use of cell phones while driving.
Islamic banking is also referred to as sharia-compliant banking because banks follow certain restrictions associated with sharia law. For example, lenders cannot charge interest and investors cannot invest in industries like gambling or pornography. In 2005, International Trade Specialist Scott Smith reported that Islamic banking controlled $270 billion in assets in over 25 countries.
The practice of “libel tourism” has developed because libel laws differ among countries. The United States, generally considered to offer the greatest freedom of speech, requires that the plaintiff prove the falsity of the statements against him, as well as malice or negligence on the part of the defendant. In the U.K., however, the burden of proof lies on the defendant to prove the truth of his statements, and a reasonable belief in their truth is not a valid defense.
August 27, 2010 -- "How do you know there is going to be an economic recovery?" Greta Van Susteren asked GOP dummy, Dana Perino. "There always is; these things go in cycles," squeaked the Heidi Klum of the commentariat. Share on Twitter Share on Facebook A tax cut for high-income earners is tantamount to a return of stolen goods. Dana, who was once a spokesperson to a man who was barely able to speak, always smiles with pride when her boss' "modest" government expansion is hearkened to nostalgically on Fox News. You remember the broad sweep of the Bush limited-government program: Medicare Part D, "No Child Left Behind," and the fiscal fiascos that are the wars in Middle East and South-central Asia. Likewise, Dana seems to think that the economy is much like the menstrual cycle. But even that event grinds to a halt when the hormones run out.

November 2001 -- In the normal course of events, the world is content to ignore the capers that take place in our ivory-tower institutions. But in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, the public has suddenly cast a sharp eye on obscure academic figures whose reactions demonstrate either an appalling callousness, an extreme removal from reality, or both. One figure in the latter category is Karlheinz Stockhausen, a German composer considered a modern master among contemporary academic composers—and ignored by the rest of the world. The Frankfurter Allgemeinische Zeitung's English edition carries the following account of Stockhausen's comments, by reporter Julia Spinola:
October 2001 -- Since 1999, Belgium has had a law allowing anyone, from anywhere in the world, to sue any other person, for crimes against humanity, regardless of where or against whom the crimes were allegedly committed. Last year, a group calling itself Lawyers without Borders Congo brought charges against President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda. The two sitting presidents were charged with abuses in their ongoing and brutal proxy war in the Congo.

October 2001 -- A commentary from the Navigator Special: The Assault on Civilization, posted September 18, 2001 As the full impact of the barbaric terrorists attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon unfolded, TV anchors, commentators, and community leaders invoked God and prayer as a means of personally dealing with all the tragedy of this attack. Communities and congregations organized prayer vigils and religious services. President Bush declared Friday, September 14, 2001 a "National Day of Prayer and Remembrance."

If I had to recommend one book in the field of organizational behavior, Built to Last would be it. The authors, James Collins and Jerry Porras, conducted extensive research on "visionary companies"—members of an elite group of companies that outperform and outlive their competition.
