JEFFREY H. BIRNBAUM, WASHINGTON POST - Jay Timmons, [National Assn of
Manufacturers'] senior vice president for policy and government
relations, received $501,000 in pay last year. In 2005, he earned
$228,975 for roughly three months of work after joining the trade group
in September of that year. LeAnne Wilson, NAM's chief operating officer,
received $249,000 in compensation in 2006, a 54 percent boost. The
industry that NAM represents has not been doing nearly as well as the
trade group's senior executives. According to Federal Reserve data, U.S.

DENNIS KUCINICH IN INTERVIEW WITH ESQUIRE - Doctrine of
transubstantiation. . . . That's spirit into matter, OK? And the matter
extends to spirit. This is basic physics. . . . There's a reality that
stands within existent reality, what's apparent. But there's something
just behind it that holds that reality together, kind of in those
interstitial spaces. There's another reality there. The way I look at
it, translating it into social action, is that that other reality is
waiting to be called forward, and made, and set into motion . . . the
nexus where spirit infuses matter and transforms it. That's where I
live, there at that connect-pole."

FREEDOM BEAT

SLASHDOT - The Federation of American Scientists has obtained a recently
disclosed Comcast Handbook for Law Enforcement which details its
policies for divulging its customers' personal information. All of
Comcast's policies seem to follow the letter of the law, and seem to
weigh customer privacy with law enforcement's requests. This is in
apparent contrast to AT&T and a number of other telecommunication
companies, which have been only too happy to give over subscriber
records. According to the handbook, Comcast keeps logs for up to 180
days on IP address allocation, and they do not keep all of your e-mails
forever (45 days at most). VoIP phone records are stored for 2 years,
and cable records can only be retrieved upon a court order. The document
even details how much it costs law enforcement to get access to personal
data (data for child exploitation cases is free of charge)."
