It's a little known fact that raw denim, like a fine wine, gets infinitely better with age. To spread the word, dutil is hosting a raw denim fade competition on February 28th. The contest celebrates the constant devotion to not washing a single pair of jeans for an extended period of time. Winners will receive a brand new pair to start working in.
While in its 'aging' process, denim can get a little musty – so, this year, dutil will offer a denim freshening booth. Think spray tan, but instead you'll be wearing clothes while getting freshened up. To properly honor the commitment of unwashed denim, dutil will be joined by representatives from Doublewood, Nudie Jeans, and Freenote Cloth.
Come by, enjoy a Pabst Blue Ribbon, and get your jeans refreshed while discovering this year's winners of the Fade February competition.

Ethanol Project
The "Ethanol Project" reviewed the ethanol industry in Brazil, the United States, Colombia and Peru. It revealed a new generation of business executives who lead an industry dependent on subsidies, lobbying and very favorable loans awarded by multilateral organizations. The story showed how the ethanol industry has begun to experience some tough adjustments, and how the environmentalists that once endorsed the industry are asking how sustainable the industry really is and what contribution, if any, it is making to the environment.

Inside Chesapeake Energy
Chesapeake Energy Corp was one of the great American success stories of recent times. But its charismatic founder, Aubrey McClendon, built his company on shakier ethical and financial foundations than anyone knew. A series of Reuters investigations changed all that, triggering criminal and civil investigations, a dramatic board shakeup and deep falls in the share price with each new revelation — more than $1 billion in secret personal loans for McClendon, his undisclosed $200-million hedge fund run from Chesapeake headquarters, his plot to fix prices for oil-and-gas land with an archrival. These matters came to light in a series of in-depth reports, each documented through meticulous reporting that has gone without challenge. The coverage has been especially significant because of Chesapeake's outsize influence over energy markets in the United States — where it is the top driller of gas wells, one of the biggest owners of land and the leading champion of the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Phantom Debt Collectors
Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans were being targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers, part of what authorities were calling a massive scam that targeted struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claimed to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place. It's what the Federal Trade Commission calls a "phantom debt collection scam." An ABC News investigation pried into the scam and found that, working through call centers in India, the fake debt collectors had dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. ABC News tracked down the man to whom FTC officials say all roads led from the scam. For the first time, the most prolific scam to hit Americans in years finally had a face.

Indentured Students
In a year-long series, Bloomberg detailed how the $1 trillion in outstanding student loans has imprisoned borrowers in a lifetime of debt, enabling a host of predatory collections practices, misleading financial-aid offers and out-of-control college spending -- while politicians for decades ignored mounting danger signals.

Profiting from the Auto-Bailout
September, 2012 the Obama campaign launched television ads blasting Romney's November 2008 New York Times op-ed, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." In an article for The Nation Magazine, funded by The Nation Investigative Fund we discovered that Ann Romney, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney's most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys', were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment. It all starts with Delphi Automotive, a former General Motors subsidiary whose auto parts remain essential to GM's production lines. No bailout of GM—or Chrysler, for that matter—could have been successful without saving Delphi. So, in addition to making massive loans to automakers in 2009, the federal government sent, directly or indirectly, more than $12.9 billion to Delphi—and to the hedge funds that had gained control over it. One of the hedge funds profiting from that bailout— $1.28 billion at the time of publication — was Elliott Management, directed by Romney supporter, Paul Singer.

Culture of Corruption in the California National Guard
The series showed that up to $100 milion in illegal or improper incentive payments were made to California National Guard members. The reporter found that funds meant to repay student loans and give cash bonuses to draw new recruits and entice Guard members to sign on for another stint went to soldiers who didn't qualify for the benefits.
Pay Day Lenders Skirt Law
The story revealed how a high end race car driver who is also a convicted felon is partnering with an Indian tribe to run a multi-million dollar payday loan business. By partnering with the tribe the lenders do not have to follow any state laws. The lender is currently under multiple investigations by attorneys general.

Grave Mistakes

Mary Davie, a leader at the General Services Administration in promoting innovations across the government, was elected the executive president of the American Council for Technology, the group announced on May 16.
Davie is the assistant Federal Acquisition Service commissioner for Integrated Technology Service at GSA.
Darren Ash was elected the executive vice president of ACT. Ash is the deputy executive director for corporate management in the Executive Director's Office of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
GSA's Mary Davie urges 'doing things differently' in acquisition
Despite new $24B portfolio, Davie says life hasn't changed
Davie's and Ash's positions at ACT are part of the newly created ACT Executive Committee, which will replace the current ACT Board of Directors.
The revamped structure also includes a Senior Government Advisory Council, comprised of 10 high ranking government officials. Those 10 officials will span a breadth of federal functions, such as CIOs, CAOs and program executive officers. The advisory council will advise the ACT Executive Committee on issues facing government and on how ACT, and its affiliate, the Industry Advisory Council, can improve collaboration between agencies and industry.
Davie has pushed for government and industry collaboration for many years, having a large following on Twitter and launching the Acquisition 2.0 group on GovLoop. In a speech in April before a government-industry innovations conference, she said some people think social media is merely for playing games and socializing.
"But for me, with tools such as GovLoop, Twitter and LinkedIn, I connect with people with expertise that I otherwise would not have known," she said.

FiRe 2010: Two more days into the future
FiRe isn't just a technology conference. After all, we live in a world where technology is only just part of the picture.
Unapologetically opinionated views on technology, in the office and out
Born on the Channel Island of Jersey, Simon moved to the UK to attend the University of Bath where he studied electrical and electronic engineering. Since then a varied career has included being part of the team building the world's first solid state 30KW HF radio transmitter, writing electromagnetic modelling software for railguns, and testing the first ADSL equipment in the UK. He also built one the UK's first national ISPs, before spending several years developing architectures for large online services for many major brands. For the last decade he's been a freelance writer, specialising in enterprise technologies and development. He works with his wife and writing partner Mary Branscombe from a small house in south west London, or from anywhere there's a WiFi signal and a place for a laptop.
Mary Branscombe is a freelance tech journalist. Mary has been a technology writer for nearly two decades, covering everything from early versions of Windows and Office to the first smartphones, the arrival of the web and most things inbetween.
FiRe isn't just a technology conference. After all, we live in a world where technology is only just part of the picture.
We're currently at the annual Future in Review conference, just south of Los Angeles. FiRe's one of those events that sets agendas, attracting an audience of CTOs and CEOs, entrpreneurs and investors.
A patent pool is being assembled to go after Ogg Theora, Steve Jobs said in email; but why did he say it like that?Over the years, my editors - and I in my turn - have told writers that the passive voice is to be avoided.
The first PDA I owned was an Apple Newton. The next, it was a Palm III.
Mary and I have braved the remnants of the volcanic ash, and insane taxi drivers in tropical thunderstorms, to arrive safely in Orlando for Research In Motion's annual Wireless Enterprise Symposium. WES 2010 is the latest instance of RIM's biggest BlackBerry event, which mixes content for operators, phone vendors, system administrators, and developers.
Don't confuse headlines with truth or bad design and poor customer service with actual failure...I came across a blog suggesting that the Internet had failed stranded travellers and having been a stranded traveller, I disagree.
Currently we're stuck in Barcelona, waiting to find out if we can dodge the volcanic cloud by sea. The whole situation has made me think about just how connected the world is, and how well information technologies have kept us informed – and how they have managed to keep us, if not where we want to be, at least alive.
We're at Intel's ISTEP software event in Barcelona, getting a deep dive into the world of parallel computing. It's an interesting place to be, as the physics of silicon has put an end to the seemingly constant increase in speed and power of processors.
Phase change memory will probably just miss the Windows 8 schedule but it's been looking the most promising advance on flash storage - which is going to hit a problem with density and storage life in the not too distant future. The larger your flash memory, the shorter the storage life and some of the really high density flash memory that's been talked about could store information for as little as an hour.
The people who keep proclaiming that privacy is dead tend to be the ones who gain the most form the death of privacy, Danah Boyd (from Microsoft Research) pointed out at the SXSW conference last month.
Will Office 2010 have fully 'standards-based' OOXML support - and does it need it?Alex Brown, the Convener of the Geneva Ballot Resolution Meeting where OOXML became an ISO standard, has been claiming that the OOXML process has broken down because the beta version of Office 2010 doesn't have support for the 'strict' version of the OOXML ISO/IEC 29500 format agreed as the future of OOXML in the standard.
How about the Google apps?On the one hand, everyone complains about fragmentation with multiple devices and multiple resolutions and not every phone getting Android updates; on the other Wired says device makers who do Android things that aren't phones aren't getting the OS love - they want the marketplace and updates and device certification and a framework for making sure apps can be compatible.
For Lady Ada Lovelace day (celebrating women in technology), I always like to write about not so much one specific woman in technology but about women generally. It's not just how do I choose, though that's hard: it's that by randomly picking some of the women I've talked to recently I feel I can point out the breadth of what women are contributing to tech.

Keeping abreast of the latest innovations
Research and technology are key to Wacoal's underwear breakthrough
- Published: 17 Nov 2012 at 00.00 | Viewed: 2,671 | Comments: 0

There's a certain irony to clothing - it seems to matter because it's seen (everyone wants to look pretty and well dressed, right?), although in reality, it's what's not seen that actually matters.
The 3D Silhouette Analyser can accurately capture measurements even through clothes.
We're not talking just about your body - what the clothes are meant to cover in the first place before clothing becomes something more than just covering up. We're talking about the fact that much as people seem to care about the clothes they're seen in, not many seem to understand that undergarments - what others won't see (unless you do see-through, that is) - can be a decisive factor in keeping you in the shape that looks best in any clothes you wear.

When Les Paul passed away at the age of 94 on August 13, 2009, most obituaries overstated a few of his contributions and understated others. Some claimed he invented the electric guitar (he didn't even invent the solidbody guitar, though he was among the first to experiment with its design) while barely mentioning his pioneering work in the development of multitrack recording. And while many articles mentioned his namesake Gibson Les Paul guitar, few discussed just how great a guitarist he was.
The guitar virtuoso's new album, Up Close, will be available on vinyl next month.
With a deluxe reissue of Couldn't Stand the Weather in the forecast, Stevie Ray Vaughan's bandmates recall the making of a modern blues rock classic.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
My mother's will stated that her estate will be left with ''equal shares to all surving children and deceased children who left issues''. My brother died 2 months after she did before the estate is settled. he was married but has no children....who gets his share?

Re: Wills
If your brother died "without issue"(meaning offspring or heirs), your mother's estate will simply be divided equally among the surviving children. (Your brother's share in effect goes back into the estate pool.)

Abstract IPv6 is short for Internet Protocol Version 6. IPv6 is the next generation protocol designed by the IETF (The Internet Engineering Task Force) to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 (IPv4). The IP v 6 specifications are in RFC- 2460. Most of today's Internet uses IPv4, which is now nearly twenty years old. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient in spite of its age, but it is beginning to have problems. Most importantly, there is a growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, which are needed by all new machines added to the Internet.

Losing the Little Labels
The effect of file-sharing on micro-labels, an autobiography of Henry Jacobs, and interviews with U.S. Girls and Heaven And.
By Marc Masters and Grayson Currin , May 14, 2010
U.S. Girls: Turnaround Time
Photo by Molly Landergan
It may be hard to tell at first, but Meghan Remy makes pop music. On her records released under the name U.S. Girls, her songs are enveloped in a haze created by cheap, makeshift recording techniques. But underneath are simple, repetitive tunes that strip pop down to its core element: the hook.
Take "Red Ford Radio", from her second Siltbreeze album Go Grey. Here, Remy's catchy vocal riff sounds like classic pop, but it's never glued to a bridge or a tempo change; it's just set to a primitive beat that makes it as hypnotic as a mantra. Remy's obsession with hooks comes through strongest when she covers the pop songs she loves. On her previous album, Introducing..., she turned Bruce Springsteen's "Prove It All Night" into a pulsing nursery rhyme, and on Go Grey, she yanks BJ Thomas' bouncy "I Don't Have a Mind of My Own" into the trash-garage territory of Pussy Galore.
Remy began making music in the mid-2000s, playing in bands in Chicago and Portland. In 2008 she started recording solo at home, laying down guitar and drum parts on four-track and reel-to-reel tapes and then singing over them. Her homemade set-up and self-reliant approach has produced music that often sounds intensely personal-- as if you're peering through someone's window as they write in their diary-- yet as immediate and communicative as the most universal pop.
We recently spoke via phone to Remy from her current home in Philadelphia.
Pitchfork: You recorded at home for a while before you started playing live-- what made you decide to make that transition?
Meghan Remy: Well, I was thinking about leaving Portland at that time, and I had sent some songs to friends of mine in Vancouver, and they asked me to open for them on a tour. So I used it as a way to get out of Portland, but also to figure out the live show. My sets were about seven minutes long, and I was still learning to play in front of people by myself. I had about three songs on tape, with backing tracks on cassette that I would play through a little Panasonic slim-line tape recorder, and then I would sing over it. I was also playing a lot of autoharp at that time. I don't play any instruments live now, but back then I didn't understand that you didn't have to play instruments live. Now I'm mostly just playing tapes and affecting them and singing over them.
Pitchfork: Do you make all of your tapes with live instruments?
MR: Sometimes, very rarely, I've used something like a record skipping, but I don't usually take from other sources-- I just play. Even if a drumbeat sounds like it's looped, I'm playing it the whole way through, just like if it were a band.
Pitchfork: You seem to have a melody in even your noisiest tracks. Do you listen to a lot of pop music?
MR: It's pretty much all I listen to. It's the only thing I am really influenced by. I don't have obscure influences, and I can't rattle off a bunch of weird records. My record collection is mostly Motown and classic rock. I spend a good chunk of my time at home listening to the radio, which I've always been in love with. I love hearing two-minute songs over and over again. For me, making pop music feels like the quickest way to reach people. It speaks more to me than trying to make something that no one's ever heard before.
Pitchfork: The repetition in your songs can be very hypnotic. Is that something you find in pop music?
MR: It's the hook. That's the thing that I take from the songs, the chorus being sung over and over again. They do it a million times and then repeat it again at the end just in case you didn't get it. I like that. I think repetition is always an effective way of getting whatever you're doing across, because you're putting it out there many, many times in a two or three-minute period. That's how my brain works, simple and repetitious. There's something really satisfying about going back to that hook, even if it's just hitting the bass drum over and over in a simple pattern. I think the simplicity of drums and vocals hearkens back to gospel music. Most of what grabs me in pop music is the how the vocals flirt with the drumming.
Pitchfork: Is that what you like about doing covers?
MR: Well, all the songs I cover are songs I've been singing forever-- songs I know like the back of my hand, as if I wrote them myself. Turning them into my own thing is a fun way to pay tribute to the original song that I love. Sometimes if I'm feeling stale or having a problem getting my own ideas out, I can pick a song that I love, and it's a lot easier for me to come up with a way of portraying it, because I'm taking someone else's vision and then doing my vision of it. It can get me out of a funk or a writer's block. I like getting those songs out there again, because each cover I do is a song that's been extremely important to me in my life, even if it's a silly pop song like the Dave Clark Five cover I do. I want people to know about the original.
Pitchfork: Do you focus on any specific parts of a song when covering it?
MR: I focus on the vocals and then whatever rudimentary part of the song I can play. It's usually whatever the drums are doing. I don't read tabs, and I don't know where the notes are on instruments. It's easier for me to focus on whatever element I can actually play, which is why a lot of times the covers come out sounding completely different, because I can't play the guitar lick or the bass line or the synth part. I just focus on the really basic element that I can actually carry off.
U.S. Girls: "The Mountain's High"
Pitchfork: Is "The Mountain's High" a cover?
MR: Yeah, it's a cover by Dick and Dee Dee, a guy-girl duo. But that song is pretty much a gospel song. I think the line "the mountain's high and the valley's deep" is pulled straight from the Bible. It's about someone dying and you meeting up with them again. It's one of those songs that I would listen to over and over-- just a really simple, sweet song.
On Go Grey I picked two covers that I thought people hadn't heard as much as, say, the Springsteen cover I do. The BJ Thomas song that I covered, "I Don't Have a Mind of My Own," is one of my all-time-favorite songs. I've played it for almost everyone I know, and no one's heard it before, but they all love it. It's about a married man having an affair. He wants to back out of the affair but he can't, and the woman is driving him crazy. The original has xylophone on it, and it's beautiful.
Pitchfork: I'm curious about "Sleeping Glass"-- it's a little longer than most of the songs you've done.
MR: It's a mashup of three songs that I had done but didn't like on their own. The beginning is a riot grrrl-ish piece, and then it goes to scraps from my old tape machine, and then a guitar solo. I was stoned and tried to play a guitar solo, and it's barely a solo. People actually told me not to put that song on the record-- that it's too long, and it doesn't do enough, and it sounds like Pink Floyd at the end. Up until this point I have not done many songs over three minutes, so this was an experiment to see if people would continue to listen. I thought it could be listened to as a song or as background music. There are a lot of records that I don't actively listen to, but when I put them on I clean the house, I organize, I make collages, and it's nice music to do other things to. I think there's a need for that as well.
Pitchfork: "Turnaround Time" has a mantra-like quality to it. I'm wondering how much the title has to do with that.
MR: The title comes from my childhood. I grew up in a non-union family, and in the oil business, turnaround time at a refinery comes when the whole refinery gets rehabbed. The union workers usually go on strike at that time. So my family, being non-union, would work the turnaround time. They'd work a 16-hour shift for two or three weeks straight, basically living at the refinery. I don't know if the lyrics are so much about that, but the drumbeat reminds me of that time, going to the refinery and bringing my dad lunch.
U.S. Girls: "Turnaround Time"
Pitchfork: Where does the title Go Grey come from?
MR: My boyfriend came up with that. I liked it because of the whole "Go Green" movement that's going on now-- it seemed like a direct slap to that. You want people to reduce their consumption but you're making them buy more shit by putting this title on it. I also think a lot of the songs have a grey feel. They're not high; they're not low-- they're just kind of in this grey area. It fit with my visual aesthetic too. I do all my artwork on Xerox machines, and you get a lot of grey that way. The woman on the front is actually Mary Wells, the Motown singer. I took the picture from a record cover and just messed with it.
Pitchfork: How did you pick the name U.S. Girls?
MR: I was walking down the street with a friend, talking about a European band that was coming to play, and I said, "Wait 'til they get a look at these U.S. girls!" It was just a dumb joke, but it stuck. We kept saying it back and forth. Now I show up to play a show and people expect it to be a group of guys, or a girl singer with a guy band. It's a telltale sign with bookers, whether they really listen to my music or have researched it at all, because if I show up and they think it's a group of guys, then they didn't listen to it at all. They didn't even look at the fucking Internet-- they just booked me for some reason.
Pitchfork: I feel weird asking this because I rarely ask this question of guys...but is there anything you find interesting or challenging about being the gender you are, as a musician?
MR: I was expecting you to say, "What do you think of Zola Jesus?" [laughs] I don't know why people keep asking me about her! Pretty much every interview I do, I get asked "What do you think of Zola Jesus?" or "How do you feel about Pocahaunted?" I'm like, why are you asking me that? Because we're girls that use pedals? I don't know why people think we're the same, or that there's this kinship or this united front. For me, it's just people making music. But it's always going to be different to be a girl making music because not as many girls do, and the way politics work you're always going to be singled out and judged as a girl. "That's good for a girl" or "That's good, but that's a girl making it. Did you know that?" Which is what I like about U.S. Girls as a name, it puts it out there right away.
I do struggle sometimes with things like, "Did people like my set or did they like that during my set they could see down my shirt?" But I try not to pay it much mind, because the minute you start being conscious about that stuff is when it starts eating you alive. Growing up, I reveled in riot grrrl, which was all about being a girl and making music and making everyone know that you were a girl, which I think was an important thing. But I'm not interested in continuing that in any public way. I'm more interested in just learning what I can from that and keeping that inside. I love being a woman. I think that women are really special, and we have things going on that men don't have. But men have things going on that women don't have, too.
Pitchfork: If somebody offered you money to record more professionally in a studio, would you do it?
MR: Oh, it's my dream! The way I record now is strictly because of my financial situation. I've never had much money to spare on a new four track or Pro Tools or any of that stuff. And I write while I'm recording, so I can't afford to sit in the studio and work shit out for a month. But I would love to make a really clear recording. I'm working two jobs and saving up money to go into the studio come summer's end, with stuff already written. We'll see how it goes, but I'm excited about it.
Pitchfork: What do you think of bands that could afford to record more cleanly but don't?
MR: It's just an aesthetic choice, and it's an aesthetic that's very popular right now. Sometimes lo-fi is an easy way to hide that your songs aren't very good, or that your voice isn't very good. Or to act like you are worse than you are for some kind of cred. But people do what they want to do, and I can't really make any comment on specific bands because I don't know where they are coming from.
Pitchfork: How has playing live changed since that first tour?
MR: I used to be on the floor in a ball just crumpled up looking at my stuff, and then a few months ago I started standing up, which was really hard. The first time I stood up, I had to keep sitting down and getting back up because I was shaking. I was like a toddler learning to walk. It was much easier to be planted in the ground, on my knees and stable, but standing up, I sing a lot better, and use more movement. I can sway and get into it more than when I was just in a ball on the ground.
Pitchfork: Has it made you more aware of the people at the show?
MR: I never looked at anyone before, which I thought was better because I was worried I would pass out if I did. But I like it now, being more present and observing what people are doing. I see a lot of things I wouldn't have seen before-- people plugging their ears, leaving, dancing, singing along. Before I really had no performance, which I guess was my performance, and now I kind of have like a quarter of a performance. I would love to be able to dance or throw the microphone up in the air and spin around and catch it. I love shows where people are super active. But I also love shows where you're wondering if the person's dead, or it's scary because they are not moving. It's so intense in its non-movement. I feel really confident playing live now, but I also feel a little too safe in it. It might be getting a little boring. So I'm trying to decide what to do next. --Marc Masters

HP's Photosmart eStation C510 Printer
Printers can sometimes have a bad rap in the eyes of eco-enthusiasts. But their use of paper shouldn't necessarily knock them out of the running for the market's greenest gadgets.
Take the HP Photosmart eStation C510 all-in-one printer, for instance. Included on channel distributor D&H's top selling green-certified products list, the C510 nips wastefulness in the bud by using automatic double-sided printing and only consuming one watt of energy while in off mode.
The Energy Star-qualified C510 is even eco-friendly after a user no longer needs it. HP offers customers full hardware and toner recycling services to ensure old printer parts aren't left for the landfills.

Below is the text of a speech delivered by Arnaud Nourry, chair and chief executive officer of Hachette Livre, one of the world's largest publishing houses, at the PEN Literary Gala, which took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on April 26. "Still today, in our digital age," Nourry said, "[books] are the sparks that light the process of change."
It is for me a great honor and a pleasure to be with you tonight, at this very special time for writers, publishers and citizens around the world. Every part of our environment seems to be rapidly changing, with digital becoming mainstream on one hand, and the world undergoing profound transformations on the other hand. The revolutions in the Arab world have confirmed that democracy is not only for the few nations that have invented the concept. It has universal appeal and is a new and realistic aspiration in places where the notion seemed remote only weeks ago. The instruments that make this happen are words and images.
Much has been written about the "two-dot-zero revolution" taking place in the Middle East and the key role played by social networks such as Facebook and Twitter in coordinating demonstrations and sending out evidence of huge crowds or violent crackdowns. SMSs, videos and tweets spread quickly and exponentially. But, in all three cases, speed takes precedence over accuracy or fairness, as each sender wants to be the first to get the word out or relay the news. And reliable news websites that still enforce the standards of fact checking and reporting are under pressure to deliver the news quickly, because they are competing with consumer generated content, and with each other.
Of course, there is no denying that the internet and its many avatars have become major tools for the advancement of democracy in places where the media are smothered or clunky—or both. But [is a world of] SMS, tweets, and consumer generated content the only world we want to live in? And where does this leave us, book publishers, writers?
Yes, we can move faster with the new digital tools that are available to us. We can put out a book within days of receiving the manuscript. We can assign teams of writers the task of creating a book in a matter of weeks, sometimes even days. And we do. But the race for instant information is one we—book publishers—can never win. It is probably one we should not enter, because our mission is not to add noise to noise, but to deliver meaning and to inspire. And speed so often defeats meaning.
I don't want to sound nostalgic, but think of the role books have played as seeds of political and social change. Think of the massive shift in public perception generated by essays such as Democracy in America, or On the Origins of Species, or by novels such as Uncle Tom's Cabin or A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. And more recently, and more to the point, wouldn't you agree that The Yacoubian Building or Reading Lolita in Tehran have contributed a lot to our awareness of—and to a certain extent, to self-awareness within—the Muslim world?
Social media may fan the flames of rebellion once the fire has started, but still today, in our digital age, [books] are the sparks that light the process of change—a process that can smolder for years. The works I mentioned were long in the writing, and could never fit into the ultra-short formats of instant messaging. They needed to be books! And being books helped them make their mark, defying bans and censorship.
I am not saying that we publishers should only take the long term view and forget all the hot stuff that is so essential to our businesses and so much fun to publish—sometimes. What I mean is key to our survival in the world of culture and to our contribution to the cause of democracy: in this digital era, Time on our side and should be considered a competitive advantage, not a handicap. Because created with enough time, only books do justice to the complexity, the nuances, and the emotions of the human experience. More than ever, the free thinkers of the world need us and need books to deliver their message and tell their stories in such a way that they can be absorbed, not consumed.
Books have another, competitive advantage over instant mass communication: they can't be turned off. Facebook or Twitter can be silenced by throwing a switch, as the five-day blackout in Egypt has shown. China has successfully imposed censorship on America's top internet companies. In other terms, cyberspace can be decreed a no-fly zone by any government aiming at choking the free flow of information on the territory it controls.
Not so with poems, essays and novels. The paper on which they are printed might be seized or burnt, their authors silenced, but somehow their works tend to survive and be reborn from their own ashes after a period of time. You can't kill a book after publication, because no security force can track down every copy that was sold, and because a single copy is all it takes to start a new fresh publication cycle. The Turkish government is finding this out the hard way as it goes door to door in an attempt to stamp out Ahmet Sik's book, The Imam's Army. Even in the worst years of the Soviet Union, Dr. Zhivago, The Gulag Archipelago, found their ways out of the country to become worldwide best sellers. Authors are mortal, and their lives can be made miserable by autocrats and tyrants. But books, like cats, have nine lives.
So, dear friends and colleagues, let us not bury the book prematurely, and let's remain book publishers, not content providers. Our world, more than ever, needs books and needs publishers, democracy still needs both, and the world's persecuted and harassed writers and poets that PEN has taken under its wing still desperately need our support to stand up, day after day, in their fight for freedom and democracy.
—Arnaud Nourry

Gary Burtless | October 22, 2013 11:47am
The U.S. unemployment rate dipped to 7.2% in September, the lowest rate since November 2008. The composition of the unemployed differed significantly in the two months, however. In November 2008 the median duration of an unemployment spell in progress was a bit less than 10 weeks. In September of this year it was 16.3 weeks. Just 21% of the unemployed in November 2008 had been out of work for 6 months or longer. This September about 37% of the unemployed had been jobless that long. The longer spells of unemployment combined with cutbacks in the duration of unemployment benefits over the past two years mean that many more of the unemployed face acute financial hardship.
One of the most striking differences between the two months is the sharp decline in labor force participation. In November 2008 the adult participation rate was 65.9%. By last month it had dropped to just 63.2%, a fall of 2.7%. The "missing" labor force participants number about 6.6 million adults. Not all of these missing participants would rejoin the labor force if the nation were to return to full employment by the end of the year. I estimate that an aging U.S. population has reduced the participation rate to about 64.5%, even assuming we had full employment. Of course, this still means the labor force is missing about 3.4 million adults who would have been employed or looking for work if the nation enjoyed full employment.
Many of the missing participants are young adults who have postponed entering the workforce or stopped seeking work as a result of their poor job market prospects. In contrast, Americans past age 60 have seen increases in their labor force participation and employment rates. Employment and participation rates in these older age groups are higher than they were before the recession began. Since the economic recovery began, weakness in the job market has primarily been reflected in low rates of net job creation. Until the government shutdown on October 1, layoff rates were low to moderate. Voluntary quit rates, though rising, have remained at unusually low levels. This leaves comparatively few vacancies for young labor force entrants to fill. Older workers, on the other hand, have the option of remaining in their jobs. Many of them are choosing this option, and both employment and participation rates among the aged have edged up during the recovery.
Job gains continued at a moderate pace in September. The employer survey shows employment gains totaled 148,000, close to the average rate of gain in the previous three months. (Revisions in estimated employment gains in July and August were largely offsetting.) Since December 2009 the employer survey shows job gains of 6.92 million, or about 154,000 a month. While we have seen a dropoff in monthly employment gains since the start of the year, job growth over the past four months have been close to the average pace of gain over the economic recovery.
Employment gains estimated in the BLS household survey are much more erratic from month to month and even from quarter to quarter compared with gains seen in the employer survey. Over the past six months, however, the average employment gains in the household and employer surveys are similar. The household survey shows employment gains of 170,000 a month while the employer survey shows gains of about 163,000 a month. In both cases, the employment gains are approximately twice the amount needed to keep the nation's unemployment rate from rising. The decline in the unemployment rate is the natural result of the job gains we have seen. We should expect the recent moderately good news to be interrupted when the October employment numbers are published next month. Federal employee furloughs and private sector layoffs connected to the government shutdown should sharply reduce the pace of gains we have seen in recent months. The longer term effects of the shutdown will depend critically on the ability of Congress and the President to reach a timely settlement of their deep disagreements on the budget.
