- how discouraging! "Wal-Mart is Mexico's largest private-sector employer in the nation today, with nearly 150,000 local residents on its payroll. An additional 19,000 youngsters between the ages of 14 and 16 work after school in hundreds of Wal-Mart stores, mostly as grocery baggers, throughout Mexicoâ€"and none of them receives a red cent in wages or fringe benefits. The company doesnâ€t try to conceal this practice: its 62 Superama supermarkets display blue signs with white letters that tell shoppers: OUR VOLUNTEER PACKERS COLLECT NO SALARY, ONLY THE GRATUITY THAT YOU GIVE THEM. SUPERAMA THANKS YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. The use of unsalaried youths is legal in Mexico because the kids are said to be â€oevolunteering” their services to Wal-Mart and are therefore not subject to the requirements and regulations that would otherwise apply under the country's labor laws."

- From the page: "Organic food has long been considered a niche market, a luxury for wealthy consumers. But researchers told a U.N. conference Saturday that a large-scale shift to organic agriculture could help fight world hunger while improving the environment. Crop yields initially can drop as much as 50 percent when industrialized, conventional agriculture using chemical fertilizers and pesticides is converted to organic. While such decreases often even out over time, the figures have kept the organic movement largely on the sidelines of discussions about feeding the hungry. Researchers in Denmark found, however, that food security for sub-Saharan Africa would not be seriously harmed if 50 percent of agricultural land in the food exporting regions of Europe and North America were converted to organic by 2020. While total food production would fall, the amount per crop would be much smaller than previously assumed, and the resulting rise in world food prices could be mitigated by improvements in the land and other benefits, the study found. A similar conversion to organic farming in sub-Saharan Africa could help the region's hungry because it could reduce their need to import food, Niels Halberg, a senior scientist at the Danish Research Center for Organic Food and Farming, told the U.N. conference on "Organic Agriculture and Food Security." Farmers who go back to traditional agricultural methods would not have to spend money on expensive chemicals and would grow more diverse and sustainable crops, the report said. In addition, if their food is certified as organic, farmers could export any surpluses at premium prices. ... "These models suggest that organic agriculture has the potential to secure a global food supply, just as conventional agriculture today, but with reduced environmental impacts," Scialabba said in a paper presented to the conference." The present volume of food supply must include unessential items that would lower the volume if excluded from the volume count. Tampered with foods can't be counted as real foods.

- 12/8/04: Yikes: " Get Ready to Hide Your Kids: Army Recruitment Misses Requirements by 50% :. By the end of this recruiting year, the Regular Army, Reserves and Guard could fall short more than 50 percent of its projected requirement, or about 60,000 new soldiers. And according to many recruiters, quality recruits are giving way to mental midgets who have a hard time telling their left foot from their right. Moms and dads are outraged about desperate Army recruiters on a relentless campaign to sign up their teenagers. High-school kids are actually running away from recruiters like they were George Romero's living dead. Unless a miracle happens and the new Iraqi security force decides to stop running and start fighting, we'll be in Iraq for a long time. Most likely with a draftee force." 1/10/05: "I just heard on KFI AM 640 (out of Los Angeles) that hundreds of cars have been stranded in snow in the local mountains around Big Bear Lake. People are being rescued with Sno-Cats. In case you don't know, a Sno-Cat is a tracked vehicle that can travel in any level of snow. They are typically used for grooming ski slopes. If they are being used to rescue people, it means the roads ARE TOTALLY IMPASSABLE BY OTHER VEHICLES. Several roads are closed until the end of the storm. I can't say, for certain, that this has never happened in these mountains, but I've never heard of this happening around here. If anyone can recall hundreds of people needing to be rescued with Sno-Cats in the San Bernadino mountains, please let me know the last time this happened."

- Blogger Gets Night Visit from U.S. Secret Service :. If this is what happens to a girl who usually writes about Harry Potter, I wonder what awaits me when They finally decide to punch my ticket... I've noticed a couple of interesting things lately. Machines that don't resolve to any specific domain have been archiving every file on Cryptogon. All of it. (No, they're not robots.) Probably nothing... Additionally, on November 1st, there was a black SUV parked outside my house. The guy sitting in the vehicle alternated between watching my house and reading a newspaper. This went on for about two hours. I don't know how long he'd been sitting there before I saw him. I pretended to leave, but then circled back. He was still there, but left about five minutes after I returned. Again, probably nothing... But you wonder as you hear about girls getting door-knocked in the middle of the night by the SS. If there are any lawyers in the Southern California area who wouldn't mind getting a call from me in the middle of the night, pro-bono-style, please email me your contact details. To all cops, feds, spooks, etc. who read Cryptogon daily, I have nothing to say to you. If you want to show up for a chat, save your time. If you want to arrest me (for what I don't know), I will not resist arrest. I will invoke my 5th Amendment privilege and request the presence of an attorney. I say these things to let all of you know that if I go down, you will know how I behaved when the knock arrived on my door: A WRITER on popular blog site LiveJournal has posted of her nightmare ordeal with the US Secret Service, an event spurred by a posting she made to her blog criticising George Bush prior to the Presidential Election earlier this week. Agents told her that they had received a report (presumably saying that someone had dared to question the motives, sanity or intellectual capacity of The War President) from another blogger who had been reading Annie's site, and therefore followed up. Achtung! The tale is a lesson to us all. Number one lesson is that what happens on the internet can and will bite you on the ass in real life. We've seen it time and time again with internet affairs and sordid emails - now, you'd better watch where you put your political commentating toes. Her post of this incident is here: What happened to me CAN happen to you. This is really the main reason why I am posting this publicly. I WANT you to make an example out of me. I want you to tell your friends to be CAREFUL about what they say on the Internet, because someone IS reading it and it CAN come back and bite you on the ass. And as nice as the Sekkrit Service dudes were (and honestly, they WERE very nice we even gave them coffee and shit, and they laughed with us and were generally very cool about the entire situation), you don't want them coming to your house. It's just not very fun. posted by Kevin F at 4:15 PM
