Recovery Leaves Women Behind - Of the 1.3 million jobs gained in the U.S. in the past year, 1.1 million
— nearly 90 percent — went to men, Department of Labor statistics show..... While women account for roughly half of the work force, a White House
report released this month showed persistent pay gaps between men and
women at all levels of education, with women earning about 75 percent as
much as their male colleagues. Older female workers face greater pay
disparity than their younger counterparts — as 25- to 34-year-olds earn
89 percent as much as men, according to the 2009 statistics.

Government Initiative is a coalition of media groups committed to promoting
policies that ensure the government is accessible, accountable and open.
Public oversight is the ultimate safeguard of democracy.
This is not an issue just for the media. It is the inalienable right of
citizens to examine and judge their government; and that right is served when
news media act on behalf of the public to gain access to information.

The
Tyranny of Defense Inc. Jan 8. Conclusion:
“Thanks to its allies and abettors, the military-industrial-legislative
war complex remains stubbornly resistant to change—a fact President Barack
Obama himself learned during his first year in office. While reviewing his
administration’s policy in Afghanistan, the president repeatedly asked for a
range of policy alternatives. He wanted choices. According to Bob Woodward of
The Washington Post, however, the Pentagon offered Obama a single path—the
so-called McChrystal “surge” of additional troops. As recounted in Woodward’s
book Obama’s Wars, the president complained: “So what’s my option? You’ve given
me only one option.” The military’s own preferred option was all he was going
to get. (Just months before, Woodward himself had helpfully promoted that very option,
courtesy of a well-timed leak.)
No doubt Dwight Eisenhower would sympathize with President
Obama, having himself struggled to exercise the prerogatives ostensibly
reserved to the chief executive. Yet Ike would hardly be surprised. He would
reserve his surprise—and his disappointment—for the American people. A half
century after he summoned us to shoulder the responsibilities of citizenship,
we still refuse to do so. In Washington, military metaphysics remains
sacrosanct. No wonder we continue to get our pockets picked.”

claims it was misled by Goldman Sachs on mortgage-backed investment - Jan 6. The fraud is unbelievable. "First, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged
Goldman with civil fraud for creating and marketing Abacus, a complex mortgage
investment that the agency said the Wall Street bank had secretly designed to
fail.
Next, lawmakers published a bruising report centered on
Abacus that accused Goldman of acting against the interests of its clients and
held a hearing to castigate the firm's executives.
And on Thursday, one of Goldman's clients announced it had
sued the bank seeking $120 million in damages, alleging it had been misled and
defrauded in connection with Abacus. Goldman declined to comment....."
