Probably Kurt Eisner of the Black Flag Cafe. He was bragging about working for the New York Subway and has also conspicuously enough worked for the Museum of Modern Art. Of this he has made no effort to conceal, and is practically public information.

 I can just see him using his hacker skills to change the security codes for the museum or something.

Usually only used to break out American spies from Chinese prisons.

Unlike some certain other things concerning the negative detritus from peoples sordid lives.

The only reason RYP dislikes me is I had discovered he was friends with pro-South African apartheid supporters. Or had friends who were against anti-aparthied activists if you'll have it that way.

Great bonus features. Its worth seeking out as Ecuador's film industry is so small, the Bonus features on the DVD show and tell

CALGARY -- Despite rumours of a dinner date with Prince Harry, Calgary bartender Cherie Cymbalisty was spotted having a night out with friends on the weekend.

Meanwhile, Harry, whose evening with the brunette last week has been splashed across a British tabloid, has reportedly been confined at a southern Alberta army base since his night out in Calgary.

Cymbalisty, who sold her story and photos of her cavorting with Harry at Calgary's Cowboys Niteclub to Britain's News of the World, had been hoping for a reunion with Harry over the weekend, her boss Doug Donald said yesterday.

"I think she's more than a bit disappointed," he said.

 

--

 

More. More than ...a bit...dissappointed. I know what she must think: what good does confining them do anyway? Heres to hoping Prince Harry can increase his vocabulary soon to include more than just 'wow...."wow"....wow!

nowonmai,

at that rate by the time Prince Harry is ready to deploy he just might come back with his fiery red headed top still attached, jah?

but,

2,155 civilians and Iraqi security forces have been killed. In one month. Last month.

Maybe the Iraqis would like to have another vote, another election, demand a recount...count the hands on the ground versus hands in the air.

Book about life in Baghdad's Green Zone wins Samuel Johnson Prize for nonfiction

Mon Jun 18, 6:53 PM

LONDON (AP) - A vivid account of life inside Baghdad's Green Zone won Britain's richest nonfiction book prize on Monday.

"Imperial Life in the Emerald City," by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, bureau chief in Baghdad for the Washington Post from April 2003 to October 2004, took the US$60,000 Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction.

 

The book paints a picture of waste, incompetence and thwarted intentions within the Coalition Provisional Authority appointed to run U.S.-occupied Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. It contrasts life in the heavily fortified Green Zone with the chaos unfolding outside.

The ranks of the world's refugees has increased for the first time since 2002, mostly as a result of people fleeing Iraq, the United Nations refugee agency said on Tuesday and byt he tme you have read this entry, another truck bomber has already attacked a revered Shiite shrine in the heart of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 78 people and wounding more than 200 in a resumption of Iraq's relentless sectarian slaughter.

 Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai also appeared before the cameras with [Harper] in Kabul on Tuesday, telling him:

 "Canada, we are grateful to you. Canada, your assistance has meant the world for us."

Meanwhile.........

Malalai Joya, the most outspoken of the 68 women currently elected in the parliament of Afghanistan, has been suspended from parliament. A relentless critic of the warlords and assorted war criminals in the Karzai government, the legislators kicked Joya out after viewing a television interview in which she likened the parliament to a “zoo.”

Hostile bid for Alcan.

The story reflects on what it means for Quebec (so? so!)

But larger than that its means the world's largest producer of aluminum and its raw component alumina would be Alcoa.

Many Canadian companies have moved their headquarters out of Quebec or downsized operations there but Alcan has stayed.

Twice the size of UC RUSAL's alumina and aluminium plant capacities, its nearest competitor. (Earlier this year RUSAL and SUAL, two Russian firms, merged in a deal that displaced Alcoa as the world’s biggest aluminium company.)

but while, heck, even Jamaica has a say. Yah, even. What will if bode for BC, the Mayor of Kitimat asks?

Alcan owes its very existence to an antitrust action in the 1920s that forced Alcoa to spin off its non-American business, and Mr. Alain Belda is hoping selling a few assets will satisfy regulators.

Meanehile, Alcoa Named to "World's Most Ethical Companies" List by Ethisphere Magazine .

...named one of the top most sustainable corporations in
the world at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Reality check: Canada remains more of a branch-plant economy than any of its G-7 peers. And the imbalance since 2000 of sales of Canadian companies to foreigners and Canadian purchases of offshore firms is $302 billion to $230 billion, respectively. And our G-7 peers aren't suffering the loss of entire sectors, as we recently have in world-class steel and mining.

  When widely held targets like EnCana, Talisman, Nexen and Canadian Natural Resources start getting picked off in Stephen Harper's backyard, perhaps then, finally, his government will fashion a U.S.-style (or Italian- or Russian- or Japanese- or Indian-style) hands-off policy on assets of "strategic interest."

So says the Torionto Star.
