…i struggle with being a moderate but fairly regular meat eater these days…maybe i’m loking for justification or rationalising, but i found one of the most articulate, holistic arguments for the consumption of animal products here-

http://www.westonaprice.org/healthissues/ethicsmeat.html

an excerpt:

When we live rightly, decision by decision, the heart sings even when the rational mind disagrees and the ego protests. Besides, human wisdom is limited. Despite our machinations, we are ultimately unsuccessful at avoiding pain, loss and death. For animals, plants, and humans alike, there is more to life than not dying.

NEW DOC FROM ISUMA
QALLUNAJATUT (URBAN INUK)
***************************

Kunuk Cohn Productions and Igloolik Isuma Productions (the independent Inuit production company behind the internationally acclaimed feature film ATANARJUAT THE FAST RUNNER) are pleased to announce the release of a new documentary directed by Nunavik writer JOBIE WEETALUKTUK.

QALLUNAJATUT (URBAN INUK) follows the lives of three Inuit in Montreal over the course of one hot and humid summer. Only two generations ago Inuit lived in small, nomadic hunting camps scattered across the vast Arctic landscape. Since the 1950s, this traditional lifestyle has undergone an astonishing transition from Stone Age to Information Age, as Inuit first relocated (often by force) to government-run settlements, and, more recently, beyond the settlement into southern cities. What happens when an Inuk is dislocated from the traditional Arctic homelands that are so primordial to Inuit culture, history, and social structure? This film shatters stereotypes and gives audiences a vivid, emotional understanding of the challenges facing those who would live Inuit lives in contemporary urban environments. Featuring the original music of Charlie Adams and traditional ajaja songs of Igloolik, Nunavut.

…seems Roberto’s writing is finally getting translated & marketed in English.
I recommend his work with th weight of a peculiar sense of loss- Roberto was th good firend who never was, th too-brief, inspirational acquaintance…
I have some video footage of his close friend & collaborator, Toni, (my screenplay is based on th book they wrote together) & him having what seemed to be an oft-repeated, ritual conversation- Roberto proposing a scheme to try to better market difficult literary work, Toni, as sales mgr. for a small publishing house dedicated to teacher’s manuals & texts, patiently running down th impossible numbers…

Here’s another writeup

III

For Bolaño, Latin America is not only a geographical expanse; it is a state of mind. It is the pieces, the ghosts, exiles took with them as they scattered around the world. In the short story “El ojo Silva” (“Silva the Eye”), Bolaño writes in the opening sentence:

It’s strange how things happen, Mauricio Silva, known as the Eye, always tried to escape from violence even at the risk of being considered a coward, but the violence, the real violence, can’t be escaped, at least not by us, born in Latin America in the 1950s, those of us who were around twenty years old when Salvador Allende died.

Bolaño always dealt with the impacts of violence in the private realm. He didn’t work epically; he avoided historical denouements. The struggles and massacre of Colombia’s plantation workers in One Hundred Years of Solitude, Fuentes’s evocations of the Mexican Revolution, Vargas Llosa’s dissection of a ferocious backwoods millenarian movement in The War at the End of the World – grand tapestries of this kind are absent in his work.

…i don’t quite get this mail program…can’t seem to set & execute th background color i so painstakingly mix…

ENJOY EUROPE WHILE YOU CAN | Jamais Cascio
QuickChanges see all posts in this category
Dismal news really isn’t our focus here, but we can’t let this go without notice: the latest Nature also includes a report on an apparent weakening of the warm-water current in the North Atlantic due to global warming causing Greenland ice to melt. This flow keeps the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe relatively temperate, despite being at latitudes similar to Canada and lower Alaska. A further weakening of the flow could result in a mini-ice age for Europe, and possibly further strengthen mid-Atlantic hurricanes.

It’s unclear yet whether this is a single event or signs of a new trend.

Green Car Congress has a terrific summary. Additional good discussions can be found at The Oil Drum and (for the more technically-inclined among you) RealClimate.

Free Net access seen standard in 2000
Basic Internet service will be free within 12 months, according to New York-based market analysis firm Datamonitor. Technology analyst Rob Shavell Tuesday said no-cost access service has proven very successful for companies including Yahoo (YHOO: news, msgs), Netzero (NZRO: news, msgs) and AltaVista, and free e-mail provider Juno Online (JWEB: news, msgs) is the latest company to seize the free-access spotlight. “The Internet service providers can make money by building customer bases and then delivering target advertising to them,” Shavell said in an interview with CBS.MarketWatch.com. “It has come to pass that it is more important for them to get acceleration in customer numbers than it is to get those people top pay them $5, $10 or $20 a month.” Datamonitor’s vision of free Net access spells a challenge for major providers such as America Online (SOL: news, msgs), EarthLink (ELNK: news, msgs) and AT&T; (T: news, msgs). Shavell said he doesn’t think those companies will go out of business as long as they shift toward providing premium, high-speed services. “So they’re going to have to partner up with the people that have DSL, the telcos, and the cable infrastructure, the cable TV companies.” Shavell also said existing ISPs, including AOL, will be forced to offer free service. If they don’t, their customer bases won’t grow, which in turns would hurt their e-commerce efforts, Shavell said. “The established ISP’s out there are caught between a rock and a hard place.”

AOL on Net company A-list
Fortune magazine named three companies actively exploiting the Internet to its 1999 list of the top companies to work for in America. They were Charles Schwab (SCH: news, msgs), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT: news, msgs) and America Online. A theme common to a third of the top companies was their making stock options available to employees, Fortune said. More than 1,000 Charles Schwab employees have in excess of $1 million in their accounts from stock grants, according to Fortune. Welcoming his company’s first appearance on the list, AOL Chairman Steve Case said, “We aspire to be one of the most admired and valuable companies in America.”

E-commerce sites’ strong monthly growth
A majority of the Internet’s fastest growing Web sites in November were focused on e-commerce, Media Metrix (MMXI: news, msgs) reported. Toysrus.com (TOY: news, msgs) led the list of gainers, almost tripling its number of visitors from October to 4.77 million. The balance of the five fastest growers was KBkids.com with 2.8 million visitors, Buy.com had 4.7 million, Onhealth.com had 2.9 million and Shopnow.com handled 2.3 million.

The most popular Web properties in November were operated by AOL (AOL: news, msgs) with almost 54 million visitors during the month, followed by Yahoo (YHOO: news, msgs) with 41.8 million, Microsoft with 38.3 million, Lycos (LCOS: news, msgs) 29.1 million and Go Network (GO: news, msgs) 22 million. E-tailers notching traffic sufficient to be among the top 50 sites on the Internet included Amazon.com (AMZN: news, msgs), Etoys (ETYS: news, msgs), Toysrus.com, Buy.com, CDnow.com (CDNW: news, msgs), Barnesandnoble.com (BNBN: news, msgs) and CitySearch-Ticketmaster Online (TMCS: news, msgs).

DealTime.com expands to UK
A comparative shopping tool for Internet shoppers in the United Kingdom was offered Tuesday by DealTime.com, complementing the company’s existing US business. The site at www.dealtime.co.uk searches several hundred online merchants’ Internet presence to show consumers price comparison in pounds sterling. DealTime.com said it plans similar international currency site tools in France, Germany, Japan and Latin America next year.

WinAmp gets more music friendly
The creators of the MP3 player Winamp launched a new Web site enabling downloading of music files directly into the Winamp player software. Now owned by America Online (AOL: news, msgs), Winamp’s creator Nullsoft said the new site features music from partners including Mjuice.com, Audiosoft an Riffage.com and a music directory provided by Listen.com. Nullsoft said 100 music tracks are featured for downloading each day.

SportsLine.com outsources e-business
An online shopping site whose owners include Michael Jordan, John Elway and Wayne Gretzky will handle the e-commerce business of SportsLine.com Inc. (SPLN: news, msgs). The company, MVP.com, also announced a deal with CBS Corp. (CBS: news, msgs) under which it will receive $85 million of advertising, promotional help and other “considerations”. SportsLine.com said MVP.com has committed to pay it $120 million. SportsLine.com founder Michael Levy said shifting the e-commerce operation of his company to MVP.com will “provide SportsLine.com guaranteed advertising revenue over the next 10 years, reducing costs, increasing profits, margins, and cash flow.”
Deal of the day

HoopsTV.com (www.hoopstv.com), a 24-hour basketball network featuring playground, college and pro games, announced that it has raised $20 million in its second round of funding. The investors include Safeguard Scientific (SFE: news, msgs) and Footstar (FTS: news, msgs) specialty footwear retailer.
