  The Wall Street Journal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wall Street Journal is an influential international daily newspaper published in New York City, New York with a worldwide average daily circulation of more than 2.6 million as of 2005.
The Journal newspaper primarily covers U.S. and international business and financial news and issues—the paper's name comes from Wall Street, the street in New York City which is the heart of the financial district.
In 2001, the Journal was ahead of most of the journalistic pack in appreciating the importance of the accounting abuses at Enron, and two of its reporters in particular, Rebecca Smith and John R. Emshwiller, played a crucial role in bringing these abuses to light.

Wall Street seemed more interested in financing the past than the future.
Asia does have enormous long-term potential, but a lot must change for that potential to be realized.
While much of Asia is beginning to address these issues, the kind of revolution in capital markets that set the stage for the U.S. boom can take root only in the soil of comprehensive social capital.

 Stay Free! Daily: Pop will eat itself (and that's a good thing)
This Wall Street Journal article (copied below the fold) about Asian pop music made me realize an obvious solution to the music industry's downloading woes: abandon the assumption that pop music is anything other than advertising and dissolve the music biz into the ad biz.
But it does provide a workable economic model that allows the powers that be to keep making their millions from "audio entertainment." This model could prove so successful that the music industry's obsolescence -- and unsanctioned downloading -- is seen as less of a problem...which, in the long run, would make us all better off.
For Asia's artists, hooking up with advertisers offers a more reliable way to profit at a time when fans are increasingly buying illegally pirated CDs and movies.

 mtDNA & Native American origins
Time estimates for the arrival of X in North America are 12,000-36,000 years ago, depending on the number of assumed founders, thus supporting the conclusion that the peoples harboring haplogroup X were among the original founders of Native American populations.
To date, haplogroup X has not been unambiguously identified in Asia, raising the possibility that some Native American founders were of Caucasian ancestry.
This analysis suggests that certain Y-chromosome haplotypes were brought from Asia during the colonization of the Americas, and a differential gene flow was introduced into Native American populations from European males and females.
