This is cool! US companies are investing more in chinese medical technology and equipment. Definitely a smart move as medical equipment is a growth sector. US, Japan, and China are at the top of the line in medical tech.

Interesting analysis of the fluctuation of the price of rice in terms of external economic and agricultural factors. Since the price of corn shot up because of ethanol production, rice shot up even after some tried to establish a domestic price ceiling

Instead of a National Public Health Program, in theory we would increase market competition between health insurers by giving everyone the means to obtain insurance. Keep competition high, to keep doctor’s salaries high, to advance health care
I received this email earlier today from idealist.org. Just passing it on to whomever it may concern.
Dear Kris,
My name is Ami, and I am the director of Idealist.org. I am writing to
ask you a favor.
This month we are doing something special at Idealist, and we need
your help to spread the word.
Here is the story. Posting a job on Idealist usually costs $60 (we are
a nonprofit ourselves, and this small fee keeps us afloat) but
starting today, and through the end of June, all job postings on
Idealist are free for any nonprofit organization.
We are doing this so that any organization can try us at no cost, and
our ultimate goal is to bring you every nonprofit job that’s open
around the country (as well as internships and volunteer
opportunities, which are always free).
And here is where we need your help. If you know anyone who works at a
nonprofit organization, please share this message with them. And if
you have a way to get the word out to friends and colleagues across
the sector – through a mailing list, a blog, or any other way – please
tell them that Idealist is free for the whole month of June.
Lastly, here is a video we produced for this month, that describes why
Idealist is the best place to post a nonprofit job:

Thanks in advance for sharing this with your networks, and have a good
week!

H. Clinton promotes a windfall tax which will create less incentive to produce domestic oil, provide less than satisfactory revenue gains, and temporarily relieve oil prices through this year’s election. Bad idea… I think so.
