The 'stickergate' kerfuffle
If you're not one of the people who follows the Mac blogosphere, you may have missed last week's tempest in a teapot involving Intel Inside stickers, journalistic behavior, and the zealousness of that same blogosphere. As one of the people responsible for fanning the flames, I felt it was worth looking at what happened — and what it taught me about how different media and different points of view can make an innocuous comment into a strange sort of scandal. Stickergate This whole thing started during Apple's August 7 announcement event at the Town Hall theater at 4 Infinite Loop on the Apple campus in Cupertino. I was there, along with three of my Macworld colleagues. As usual, we covered the event live, as did several other web sites. The way that coverage works is that we frantically type what's going on, and you see it on the other end — either as a string of unprocessed blurts or, in the case of Macworld , as a constantly-updated news story.

When the union comes calling
Union density has been modestly increasing" in small workplaces over the past decade, says Erin Weir, an economist for the Canadian Labour Congress. According to Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey for the first half of 2007, 13 per cent of employees in workplaces with fewer than 20 employees were union members. And in the 20-to-99 employee category, the rate rose to 30 per cent. (The figures include franchise operations.) "It's common for small business owners and managers to be wary of unionization," says John Weir, director of organizing for the B.C. Federation of Labour. "People react based on stereotypes. They think the union won't understand the nature of their business, but unions have economists. We understand the dynamics of private enterprise and what it takes to be successful." After all, Mr.
Why the Mafia Loves Garbage
A hunter must also be licensed for the number and type of animals he plans to kill. (The most popular targets include moose, ducks, geese, bears, foxes, and hares.) Teenagers who are at least 15 but younger than 18 can apply for a firearm license as long as they have parental permission. This week's school shooter received his license a few weeks ago. Finland is more gun-friendly than some other European nations. In September, the country resisted an EU proposal to raise the legal age for arms possession to 18, arguing that restricting hunting for the young would result in "highly emotional and strong reactions in Finland against the EU as a whole." Aside from hunting, guns are also part of Finland's strong military tradition. Young men in Finland tend to be familiar with firearms since almost all of them join the army for compulsory service at some point.

L.L., Avon Lake I tried to look into this for you, but it was difficult to get to the bottom of things in the few weeks before your son closed on his house, at an interest rate higher than he should have paid.
