Maybe the President should look at the Kleiner Perkins trial right now. Or the lawsuits filed against Twitter and Facebook. Sure, you can graduate more women and minorities in Stem, but who's going to open up the white boys club?
I've been discriminated against because of both my gender and my religion, but I have NEVER been paid less than my male colleagues. I may not have had the opportunities to grow given to me, but I've always made good money.
In my current job I'm one of the highest paid people on my contract. My personal experience is that there's no pay gap - do your job and get paid accordingly,.
Justice may find an excuse not to prosecute (although antitrust prosecutions tend to go up under Democratic presidents). I don't see the FTC not getting involved.
It's more than just area coverage. Antitrust law also looks at market share. If a merger will give you more than 30% of the nationwide market or so then Justice usually gets involved. If you get more than about 25% of a regional market states may get involved too.
A decade ago I worked a contract for a small school district in Texas, installing server. The servers were several years out of date - purchased with a federal grant for millions of dollars. They then say in a warehouse until the district got YET ANOTHER grant to install it. Maintenance? Not unless they get another grant because no one there had a clue.....
Three days after I got my Kindle Fire I had the worst Tendinitis flare up since I was a teenager.... I had to start holding/using the fire completely differently to prevent more injuries. Biggest downside of the damn thing!
it isn't. It's actually a sort of group intelligence. It tends to come up with equilibrium solutions to problems when the problems get big enough. of course, we rarely see that happen because people/government muddle with the market screwing up it's reactions.
The honest truth is NOTHING is efficient. And NOTHING is really interested in anything other than collecting as much power as possible/maintaining the status quo.
I'm merely saying that expecting a solution from the government is silly. So is expecting one from industry.
However, if over time this truly becomes enough of a problem, the market will end up coming up with a solution. Right now - we're so below critical mass that expecting anything to crystallize out of the chaos is unreasonable.
Oh sure, lets get the government involved in this! Because they're:
Efficient
Looking out for the people
Focused
Not interested in pork
Uninfluenced by patent holders
This was my goal for every Valentines day. Don't worry about what she thinks, think about the story she will tell.
On February 13th, around 11:30 at night back in my college days, I got 3 rolls of ribbon and tied a bow around as many trees as I could between her dorm and her classes. I put a note under her door saying "Every time you see a bow, remember how much I love you".
Cheesy, I know. But, she was the talk of the college campus. Word got around that I tied the bows for her, and she felt like the most popular girl in school. That made her feel like a million bucks. Total cost? $15.
It may be cheesy but it made this girl go "aaawwww". AND read it to her husband! (hint hint)
Sorry, I read about heart rate monitors being used in the schools - it's part of a new initiative.
I personally have been using heart rater monitors for years. I assure you it's been WAAAY longer than 10 years since I was in middle school.
On polar's website. They're the leader in heart rate monitors - for exercise. No more details that that. It'll tell you your heart rate, your calories burned etc. I've been using one for 10 years now, and as an info-junkie I swear by it.

The links to the Telegraph and the NHS are both bad.
There's more to antitrust law then where they compete. Market share is a big deal too. Justice usually jumps in around 30%.

I agree. This has antitrust issues written all over it. I predict the Justice department and the FTC will oppose the merger.

Too bad I can't dance....
I'm a third year evening student at Georgetown Law School. Do you need a summer intern for 2012?
Took me less than a minute..... http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2010/db1223/FCC-10-201A1.pdf
:) Actually I'm writing a paper on it for a National Security Law class....
I'd love to get more info on your successful prosecution if I could! Would you be willing to talk to me about it for some research I'm doing?
Now THAT'S interesting, and potentially useful to some research I'm doing. Would your friend be willing to talk to me?
One of the suggestions in the FTC writeup is to ALLOW COPYRIGHTING OF FACTS.
They've been trying to copyright fashion for years.

If I forget my monitor I get the jitters - how can I exercise without all that data?!?!?!?!?!
