Roo Woes, Moscow Wins, Cows' Stem Cells, Gladwell Blogs, and Whose Onus Is It?
1. Last Thursday at Slate online's 10-year celebration/panel at the NYPL, Malcolm Gladwell cheered on old media and jeered the "parasites" in the form of bloggers who fed on newspapers for content. Gladwell commented if newspapers died, "What are they [the bloggers] going to do? Get jobs?" To which I reply, (1) here is Gladwell's blog and (2) uh, whatever, I have a job...sort of. Click here to listen to the discussion. (Daily News)
2. The Supreme Court has to decide whether or not it wants to take on a case that forces car companies to limit their CO2 emissions, which clearly goes against the beliefs of Bush, who believes doing so is bad for business. Who also believes that Crichton's fictional "State of Fear" is real. Whose government, yours included, believes that CO2 is not a pollutant. But who cares? A few dozen states and environmental groups believes the court should take it up because "the onus should be on the government's environmental protection agencies" and hearing "onus" should just make everyone's apocalyptic worries just melt away. (BBC)
3. Upper West Side's new Nabi MedSpa is offering its customers something called the Frozen in Time Stem Cell Facial, which basically is smothering your face in a product that is made up of pregnant cows' stems cells for a mere $250. AKA delicious treat for face and tummy! (Daily News)
4. Though New York is America's most expensive city, it is not the world's. Tired of guessing as you are of sitting in your cubicle on Mondays (yeah)--it's Moscow, who enjoyed moving up three spots a la Kelly Clarkson on VH1, due to a property boom. Not to neglect the most cost-effective city of course. At the other end of the spectrum, we can find Paraguay's Asuncion, otherwise known as my next vacation spot. (CBS)
5. One can turn to The Age to find a fair and balanced article on how Australia's spell-check-unfriendly Socceroos lost due to an unfair referee call. I'm crying. Also, look at and listen to my tiny tiny instrument.
