Why Solyndra didn't give a 60-day WARN Act notice
San Francisco Business Times
Date: Friday, September 2, 2011, 7:01am PDT
Employees at Solyndra Inc. weren’t given 60 days notice about their
impending layoffs as required by both federal and state law because the
company was scrambling to stay alive, a spokesman said.
Under federal and state legislation called the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act — or WARN Act, employers must give 60 days

It’s time to worry about China.
On any list of calamities threatening the world economy, a China crash ranks
at or near the top. Just what would constitute a “crash” is murky.
Already, China’s sizzling rate of economic growth has declined from 10
percent annually — the average from the late 1970s until 2011 — to 7
percent, which is still high by historical standards. The question is
whether the deceleration continues and growth goes much lower.

I was hurt and distressed by the article "Is the U.S. brain gain faltering?"
(J. Mervis, Special Section: Brains and Borders, 28 May, p. 1278), as were

The assertions attributed to me in the article are taken out of context and
are simply incorrect.

【月球之路】
我震惊于它浩然的寂静
我不再能够思考，不再能够信仰；在这
无穷无尽的寂静里我不再能够看到
六亿英里之外
十二轮旋转之后的未来 —
就在此刻，只有此刻，
它庞大的不可抗拒的精密
令我晕眩；那无比平滑的轨迹
仿佛一台仔细设计的仪器巧妙地转动，
然后笔直地
坚定地离开；然而它会再次归来，
因为它的轨迹是那么天衣无缝 —
衔接是那么自然，步伐是那么灵动，
那么沉稳；仿佛不在我们的
宇宙之内：微妙，洒脱，
飘逸进我的灵魂。
于是我不再能听见
风声 — 于是宇宙间不再有风 — 于是
宇宙不再有尽头，空旷无比，
而我在其中沿着光滑的曲线漫步。
永生不死，永生不死。主宰一切的
太阳永生不死。坚定不移的旋转永生不死。
令人战栗的高速永生不死。
魔幻般的精密永生不死。
而我死亡于对它们的恐惧。

Early on in the film, Bening and Moore make love while watching gay male
