Corporate Meritocracy Explained
- In the midst of a rant, a truth from Gawker:
Specifically, according to Forbes, he was worth $16 billion [four years ago]. So in the course of his first two terms as mayor, Bloomberg gained $11 billion. As of this past spring, his third term had seen him gain another $11 billion.
It's a biographical oddity. For one thing, it means that Bloomberg L.P. has flourished wildly ever since its indispensable chief executive officially removed himself from the company's operations....Getting rid of Michael Bloomberg as CEO would appear to be the most lucrative business decision Michael Bloomberg ever made. [emphasis mine]
- From today's FT, page one, paragraph one, right column, above the fold*:
Stephen Elop is to receive an €18,800,000 pay-off to move from Nokia [back] to Microsoft, our about €1,000,000 for every €1,000,000,000 [not a typo] of market value lost under his leadership of the mobile phone group.

lake michigan is on prescription drugs
or at least....prescription drugs are in lake michigan. and that's a problem for those folks whose cities rely on the great lakes for their water source.
this ability of the drugs to travel and remain at relatively high concentrations means that fish and other aquatic life are exposed, so there could be “some serious near-shore impacts,” said rebecca klaper, an associate professor at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee. in addition, milwaukee draws its drinking water from lake michigan, although no pharmaceuticals have been detected in the city’s water. the researchers reported that 14 of the chemicals "were found to be of medium or high ecological risk," and that the concentrations “indicate a significant threat to the health of the great lakes." nevertheless, it is not clear what, if any, effects the drugs are having on fish and other creatures in lake michigan. - environmental health news
