What a guy!
Quoted:
Prior to 1981
Carlton has worked many jobs beginning with a paper route for The Brunswick News in 1968 (5 years), mowing lawns and washing windows, bagging groceries at Winn Dixie, errand boy for a Brunswick law Firm, bus boy and waiter at the Sea Island Cloister and Blanche's Courtyard, working shut downs at the Brunswick Pulp Mill as a pipe fitter, and building houses for Mr. Brooks. Altogether our crew of approximately five guys built more than 10 expensive houses on Sea Island from the ground up - including the week in which we started construction on a house on the wrong piece of property. In 1980 Carlton worked for ITT Rayonier as an intern in the internal auditing department - most of which was spent in the tourist destination of Jesup, Georgia.One of Carlton's most unique jobs was with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLTEC) located in Brunswick, Georgia where for two years, Carlton was an actor who played the role of a criminal in a training exercise. Law enforcement agents from around the country (police officers, border patrol guards, FBI agents, etc.) would practice pursuing and capturing Carlton and his fellow actors for practice. These scenarios featured real guns and equipment (loaded with blanks of course) and were staged in a small city - which was converted from the old Brunswick naval base. After this experience, Carlton recommends that if you are ever stopped by a police officer for speeding, keep your hands in clear sight and don't make any sudden moves, some of the law enforcement officers Carlton encountered tended to get carried away.
Education:

Carlton became the first President in the History of Phi Eta Sigma to induct a female into the Society (Mrs. Nuwantny who had served the organization for many years). Carlton memorized the entire lengthy ceremony for the special occasion.As a Sophomore, Carlton was inducted into the BIFTAD Honor Society, considered by the Society to be the highest honor a sophomore student can achieve at

Catching up on my incomings.
I thought the antitrust suit against IBM kept it from dominating the market until the pc.jr. And then, the BASIC pirated company grabbed the limelight until it got an antitrust lawsuit for keeping Netscape from distributed processing - which Google is now doing. Further, I thought μ$ - the hated company - only kept Apple alive to forestall monopoly charges. Norton places a virus in my operating sytem vis-a-vis CiscoCleanAccess which has made me scrap the Wintel OS for Ubuntu - how many others will be forced to adopt the 'free' solutions and end Microsoft's supposed tyranny?
IBM didn't invent the typewriter, it's just they had the best salesman. Is Microsoft doomed because it is also an also-ran in an outmoded universe? How do the programmers who make Microsoft (Ubuntu and OpenOffice and all those virus makers) a has-been make a living? Curious minds want to know.

Another pointless article, faved from Bill, I think. Interesting use of backdrops. There's a nice cartoon/picture to the right: where do they get the neato graphics?

This is a rival to BlueDot. I like the naïveté of 'in order to do their jobs'.

OK μ$™ will probably buy out Yahoo - I am not fond of Yahoo looks a lot like Hotmail, anyway. However (I need a blog) let me get on my soapbox. The death of Social Networking. Let's see: 1) theses sites will be crowded out by self-promoters or company shills (innocent ones, simonhector, or not.) 2) The Seti problem: there are just too many indolent people to find the ones worth communicating with {UFOs may be real, but how on Earth would they ever find this dinky place in all the vastness.} 3) People here have an axe to grind or have way too much time - they're either superpeople or not productive enuf (or they have not the high IQ, but the high SocialQuotient.I really need to learn how to write out my thoughts more clearly. Perhaps I'll post the Marketplace item later tonight - that and a recent friend request prompted this diatribe.
Have a nice day!

Well, there's a look-up for you "shadow banking system"
Quoted: Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen says the rules haven't changed enough since the New Deal to keep up.
BARRY EICHENGREEN: In the 1930s the problems were concentrated in the banking system, and the commercial banks in particular. Now, they're primarily in what people refer to as the shadow banking system -- the investment banks and the hedge funds. But the names have changed, I think the underlying problem is the same. ...
