| Job open: Extreme body
With the summer intern-hiring season just around the corner, the story reminded me of a bizarre applicant I once interviewed at Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA).I had a paid, part-time position open for a communications intern to help with our newsletter, magazine, and various public relations assignments. If the person worked out, the main goal was to hire him or her full-time.An ad brought in 15 or so qualified applicants and the list was narrowed down to four finalists.Candidate No. 1 was strong, but was dropped after an initial phone interview due to some "attitude" issues.Candidate No. 2 was probably the best qualified, but the "chemistry" didn’t seem right.Candidate No. 3 was ultimately hired and, in time, promoted to publications director. After almost four years, she has become a valuable, integral part of our team.The final candidate was Karrla, a journalism student at the University of Arizona.

Caucus Math Is Hard!
The former Green Party candidate has been publicly mulling a 2008 run for the past few months, but says he hasn't yet made a decision. He'll know by the end of the year, he says, depending on whether he can drum up the necessary resources and staff. But either way, he wouldn't consider running as a Democrat. When he spoke at the Green Party's national convention in July, he got a warm reception. Did they want him to run again? "I got that sense," he said.

Yet all the news that CNN has tried to squeeze out of it manages to be both flimsy and stale because of the admittedly high number of undecided New Hampshire voters.
Why so many fall into Burke's web
It sounds more like a parent coaching a young child than a lobbyist talking to a minister of the Crown. Burke tells Marlborough the phone they are talking on is to be used exclusively for secret conversations between them, and that he is to tell no one else he has it. Burke wants to be able to call Marlborough so he can find out what's going on in cabinet. When Premier Alan Carpenter appointed Marlborough a minister, he stressed to him that he could not leak material to his old friend Burke. After the revelation of the tapes, when Carpenter had to sack Marlborough, he asked him why he had done it. Marlborough's response said it all: "I just couldn't say no toBrian." As one long-time observer of Burke said: "He was (as premier) one of those lovable Irish rogues - if you needed a quid, he'd give you a quid.
Subprime Bailout: Good Idea or 'Moral Hazard?'
Saving wounded financial institutions is good for the economy, some economists argue. But others warn against intervention, lest we fall prey to "moral hazard:" Bail out someone who has engaged in risky behavior and you're likely to encourage that behavior in the future. .
