    Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

On 'brands' and marketing.

We're a culture to look to the exploitation of the same re use in marketing, then they would have to determine that which historically and culturally fitted well in the 'popular mind'.

I note that locally - most people live in the cities - and yet, the marketer looks into their souls and notes that their emotionanal being isn't in the city - rather the bush. Hence advertisers look to the nostalga of past era's to open their hearts and wallet$.

There may be a divide as to how to sell to the local population, versus, selling to an incoming tourist population. Who look for the upmarket concepts of culture.

Note what's perculating into USA culture treason .. but wasn't that always part of the US culture .. prohibition onwards ? Income-tax took that gangster down ... time for more auditing in the US?

A note from a traveller recently advised me that 'the best place on earth was ..... ' no, not one of the great cities, rather the unspoilt rolling valleys of Mongolia ... so trekking is it! Shows that people are always looking for something that is very different. I'm sure that much of the culture of Russia will be very different, and, very novel to young travellers. Globalisiation.

A love of beauty. Connection to news. Flash. Lchic is great .

Pakistan - http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/17/international/asia/17RAPE.html - above was posted an article that said the youth (who had supposedly walked with a higherCaste woman) was actually the victim of sodomy - and the rape and accusations were in part used to cover up that act.

ECONOMIST & CLEAN UP CORPORATE AMERICA

.... includes making schemes that defraud shareholders a crime and prison terms for wrong-doers of up to ten years. A new public supervisory board would also be established to monitor the accounting profession. Chief executives and chief financial officers of public companies would have to swear that their company's financial statements are accurate, or risk losing profits and bonuses if they have to be restated.

..... moves to have stock options counted as a business expense were blocked. Nevertheless, some senators vowed to press on for this change as well
