PerfectStormer Wed Jun 18, 2008 at 17:44:21 PM EDT From our friends at the Freep: Hordes of summer job-seekers flooding into the labor market pushed Michigan's unemployment rate up to 8.5% during May, a level not seen since 1992. The May rate, up from April's rate of 6.9%, seemed likely to keep Michigan at its worst-in-the-nation ranking for jobless rates.

Upside of the food crisis? June 18, 2008 According to the Wall Street Journal, the rising cost of food is getting the governments of developing countries more interested in supporting agricultural production by small farmers.

As Expected 18 Jun 2008 06:38 pm Chris Bowers notes an interesting finding: If you take the current Obama-McCain national polling matchup and compare it to the Kerry-Bush result in 2004, you'll see an 8.1 percent swing in favor of the Democrats in the national popular vote. And if you apply an 8.1 percent swing in favor of the Democrats in each state, you get a map that's really the same as the map produced by the current state-by-state polling: Not the most earth-shattering result on the pNeopets Preview

Indeed, these articles constitute part of a growing public literature on Shenzhen, which includes The Power of MigraIs the world heating up? Or are the figures being cooked.
Prominent NASA scientists tell us the world is heating up, yet the figures they're using increasingly look cooked. Given that their figures are used to support extensive government action to squelch private production, shouldn't they be examined a little more closely? And when we do, what do we find? As Steven Goddard explains at The Register, what we find is sobering.

A new Sonic Unleashed trailer is out (better quality here) and once again it provides a mix of fear and hope. There are way too many rails -- trying to hit thin strips of metal hanging out in the middle of nothing, especially at speed, has been a major annoyance in all the 3D Sonics.
