Do you think that productivity is not really as important as most economists would argue? For example, is cutting costs by improving the productivity of each worker so that fewer workers are required to complete a task a good thing or a bad thing? Do you believe, as some people do, that we could go back to craftsmanship instead of mass production of furniture, clothing, etc? FWIW: U.N.: Americans most productive American workers stay longer in the office, at the factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe and most other rich nations, and they produce more per person over the year. They also get more done per hour than everyone but the Norwegians, according to a U.N. report released Monday, which said the United States leads the world in labor productivity. http://www.cnn.com/2007/BUSINESS/09/02/un.productivity.ap/index.html?imw=Yiref=mpstoryemail -- Ronn! :) ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Hamcam fire view
One of the things the Internet has brought is live cameras in lots of places... big vegetation fire near us and it's quite visible from Hamcam 2, at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. As it gets dark here, the glow from the flames is becoming visible. They say this has the potential to become a very big fire. The smoke is quite impressive from our house, a good 20 miles away. http://mthamilton.ucolick.org/hamcam/hamcam2.html Nick -- Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages: 408-904-7198 ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Dude, where're my pants?
It was embarrassing enough that Mark Stahnke woke up in a neighbor's yard without his pants. Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash.
