 Tim Lucas Video WatchBlog: Black Tuesday
I put on my robe and walked into Donna's office, where -- still on the phone -- she looked at me and wrote a name on a handy tablet: "Thomas Scofield." This was not one of the names I called to mind, and this is indeed tragic.
Tom's initial letter had informed me that Baxter had recorded and released "Katia's Theme" from BLACK SUNDAY as the title theme of his exotica album The Jewels of the Sea, and he kindly loaned me his vinyl copy of this rare album for the year or so I misfiled it.
The next time I heard from Tom was quite some time later, circa 2000, when someone notified me by e-mail that I was the subject of some new controversy on the Film Score Monthly boards.

 Patch Tuesday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patch Tuesday is the second Tuesday of each month, the day on which Microsoft releases security patches.
This date was set not too close to the beginning of the week, and yet far enough from the end of the week to allow any problems that may arise to be resolved before the weekend.
This does not leave Microsoft enough time to incorporate a fix for said vulnerabilities, and thus, theoretically, leave a one month window for attackers or the worm to exploit the hole, before a patch is available to formally fix it.

 The Black Commentator - Bribes + Vouchers = Black Bush Supporters - Issue 124
The corporate-Republican onslaught against the Black Political Consensus, conceived in the war rooms of rightwing think tanks a decade ago, is in full fury.
HCREO shares funding links (Bush’s Education Department and rightwing foundations) with the Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO), one of whose founding directors, former and future Newark mayoral candidate Cory Booker (see “Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, April 5, 2002), was also a founder of E-3.
Marginal increases in Black votes for Republicans are welcome, especially in close races, but this is not a battle for the hearts and minds of Black America.

 Daily Blog: The Fallout From Black Tuesday
Black Tuesday is a wound that will fester for many weeks, months and perhaps years into the future, among people who remain, people who end up retiring or taking a buy-out, or people, many of them young activists brimming with idealism, who leave embittered by their experience in the house of labor.
No one knows what the work will be and what the positions will look like--there are no job descriptions for the new positions as described in Tuesday's report.
I just find that astounding: you take a meat cleaver to an organization--no, a unionized workplace, no, the emblem to the outside world of who labor is--,wipe out job categories with the stroke of a pen yet nothing is presented in their place except for vague job titles.

They're calling it Black Tuesday in China: local stock markets unexpectedly sold off, losing nearly 9% of their value, and putting pressure on equity prices around the world.
Analysts said the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets were reacting to widespread rumors of plans by the Chinese government to raise interest rates or institute a capital gains tax, measures that would serve to temper local stock markets that were up about 10% for the year before Tuesday's decline.
Unlike previous slumps, the Chinese government kept to the sidelines on Tuesday, taking no action nor issuing any warnings to try to stabilize the markets.
