I had a hard time finding ANY pic of Clare Kirkconnell

When I am having this much trouble finding a pic, I know that there is an active effort underway to suppress any pics of a particular person. In this case, the person is Clare Kirkconnell. These days, she is busy being an impressionistic painter.

Off-shoring failure

There is a certain company which has had a significant management change in the last year or two. Prior executives had sent a significant amount of work to IBM and EDS in India. That move now looks like a major failure. At this point, there are some people in high places who are looking for another one of the groups in India to fail (as it looks like they are about to do), so that the relationship can be severed. The company who has been getting the short end of the off-shoring deal will become known in the next six months. What we are seeing is that there is apparently a shortage of capable people left in India to do software development.

The Dallas Mavericks didn't quite get swept, but it might as well be a sweep

Yes, Don Nelson and the Golden State Warriors continue to dominate the Dallas Mavericks. The fact that the Mavericks had the best regular season record was irrelevant, as they never beat the Warriors (the pic shows Warrior Mickael Pietrus dunking). They were fortunate to have won the one game, of the seven they have played this season.

Do, do you like Milla Jovovich "peeking out" in Chaplin?

There is this composite pic of Milla Jovovich, from her appearance in the movie Chaplin, that shows her "peeking out" of the top of what she was wearing.

The latest on Hussy has Jenny Agutter pics

The very latest posting on Hussy (alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.hussy) is a set of racy Jenny Agutter pics, including ones from Equus.

Recent racy pic posting at Hussy has Milla Jovovich

I just checked Hussy (alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.hussy), and recent posting has racy pics, including indexes, of Milla Jovovich. There is some pretty wild and wooly stuff on her.

Don Nelson and the Golden State Warriors have the Dallas Mavericks' "Number"

The Dallas Mavericks can beat any other team, but Don Nelson and the Golden State Warriors cause the Mavericks a great deal of trouble. The Mavericks were lucky to win game 2, after losing the first game and the string of regular season games. I actually had expected the Warriors to sweep the series, but they melted down and lost the second game to the Mavericks. The Dallas Morning News has the story.

Marc Danziger says that we need a new doctrine taught

Marc Danziger, writing at the Examiner, says that we need to be teaching a new doctrine about how to respond to attacks such as took place at Virginia Tech:

No, we’re not. We’re blaming the doctrine the victims were trained to operate under, and arguing that we — all of us — should rethink it and start implementing other ones, just as airline passengers and police officers have.

We need to be teaching people a new doctrine, one that neither leads them into fantasies that they are more capable than they really are, nor into believing that they are helpless and must lay down waiting to be killed while muttering "It’s OK. It’s going to be OK. They will be here soon."

Maybe not be soon enough.

So Marilee Jones had a "resume problem"?

Apparently, Marilee Jones, the Dean of Admissions at MIT, had a "resume problem". Her resume didn't match her actual experience! Whoops! I wonder how that happened?

The guys that make a living shorting Nortel stock have a sure-fire way of making it move

Over the long haul, at least since late 2000, there are a bunch of guys that have been able to make a good living shorting Nortel stock. They are at it again. They used their patented "downgrade" to make it move their way. MarketWatch has the story: "perfect execution already discounted". Every time things are looking good, they do this. It used to be to promote Lucent, but now they "just do it" (its like printing money).
