CRAZY SCARY: Cancer by Simply Using Your Cell Phone
By now you’ve heard about the study by a cancer research institute that warned its faculty and staff to limit their use of mobile phones because of the possible risk of cancer.
Should you be worried?
Where in the World is Barack Obama? Paris!
Barack Obama is BIG Seller on the Newsstand
This issue of The Week is the latest in the string of Barack Obama Magazine covers to hit the newsstand.
And, that’s not surprising. Especially after seeing the 250,000 (the number keeps going up!) person crowd in Berlin yesterday or learning that bombshell Pam Anderson threw her boobs support behind Barack Obama.
Last week’s controversial cover of the New Yorker was a virtual sell-out on newsstands with early estimates at 75,000 up from the weekly average of 43,000, reports the NY Post. (Most copies are sold via subscription.)
For Us Weekly, the cover featuring Obama and his wife Michelle sold between 900,000 and 1 million, above the magazine’s 800,000 weekly newsstand average.
Obama is also on the cover of the recent double issue of Rolling Stone, which could sell as many as 250,000, also above the magazine’s newsstand average for double issues.
Said a spokeswoman for Time, “Of our five covers featuring Obama and/or Hillary Clinton. . . this year, they either sold significantly above average or above average. On the other hand, the John McCain cover this year sold just below average, reports the NY Post.

IS MORE OIL THE ANSWER?
The Week pulls out some interesting thoughts from around the country on the oil crisis hitting our country.
One of the most compelling comes from Thomas Friedman in the New York Times.
THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD WORK FROM HOME (IF WE CAN!)
The Week asks “Will $4-a-gallon gas change our ways?”
For corporate executives, this price of gas reaching this incredibly high price is merely an annoyance.
For their employees, it’s a big piece of their paycheck.
It’s time for corporate America to do everything they can to help out their employees.
Here are some of my suggestions:
- It’s time to let anyone that can work from home start do so. This applies especially to those in publishing. With technology, it’s easier than ever for writers and editors to work from home.
- For those that can’t and MUST be in the office, employers should begin to pro-actively help arrange carpools among employees in their company.
- I’d even suggest experimenting with four-day work weeks. I’m sure many employees would work a few extra hours during the week to make this a reality!
What do you think? How can corporate America help employees out as gas prices continue to soar?
NO MOVES LEFT FOR HILLARY CLINTON?
After today’s DNC meeting, Hillary Clinton pretty much must know the game is up.
Democratic party officials approved a deal Saturday to seat delegates from the disputed Florida and Michagin primaries with half a vote each, dealing a blow to Senator Hillary Clinton, reports the NYT.
