The Meaning of President Obama

News 1 Comment

The United States of America elected their forty-fourth president in November 2008.  This win was celebrated as historic for many reasons.  It was the first time a campaign really used web-based technologies as a critical component of its efforts.  It was also a relative landslide, in which Barack Obama earned more votes than any Democrat in history up until that point, and a larger percentage of electoral and popular votes than either of Presidents Bush or Clinton.  However, there is also a deeper meaning to Barack Obama’s election.  Obama is only forty-seven, meaning he was born in 1961 only a few months after John F. Kennedy took office.  Barack was too young to ever consider whether he should join and fight in the Vietnam War or dodge the draft by going to college.   Roe v. Wade was decided when he was only twelve years old, so abortion has been legal for his entire adult life. This is a sharp contrast to his opponent, Senator John McCain, who famously was born before the invention of chocolate chip cookies. Obama represents generational change in the White House.

Goody’s Tries Again

News No Comments

Goody’s Family Clothing emerged from Chapter 11 bankrupcty today…again. Maybe I’m mistaken, but it seems to me that it is the same companies filing for bankruptcy every 5-7 years. It’s about time that we put a limit on how many times a company can go under before they are requried to give up and liquidate the assets. I read about retailers in the bankrupcty news all the time now, it seems. This holiday season could be very tough for retailers also. I expect that we’ll see several more major retailers go under early next year if the holiday sales are poor.

Definitions of Biometric Fingerprints

News No Comments

There is a definition of  biometric fingerprints  that is not often used, that is a measurement of living things as the environment, a field related to ecology. However, these days, it is much more likely that the measurement of individual human body marts as well as the measurement of movements unique to each person is what is being referred to when one talks about biometrics. The study of biometric fingerprints (the former kind) is one very wide field that is quite necessary for those involved in the life science.
