"Most Vermont politicians and business leaders have long been boosters of the state’s participation in the global economy, arguing that openness to world trade offers bright opportunities for job growth.
Lately, however, Vermonters have been seeing the dark side of globalization. Recent instances of public and private “outsourcing” are heightening awareness that involvement in a rapidly shifting international economy can also lead to loss of jobs in Vermont. Workers at National Life and other firms have learned through bitter personal experience that competition for jobs from low-wage countries is no abstract threat."
Poland in limbo after parliament rejects government of PM-designate
From: www.eubusiness.com
"The Polish parliament in a no-confidence vote late Friday rejected the government of prime minister-designate Marek Belka, leaving the new European Union member in political limbo just two weeks after joining the bloc.
Two-hundred sixty-two legislators voted against Belka to 188 for, after a long and contentious debate over proposed reforms aimed at pulling Poland out of a protracted economic crisis. No one abstained out of the 450 parliamentarians present.
Belka, a former finance minister and member of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), said after the vote that "the result was a little better than I expected."

Understanding Electronic Resources and Library Materials Expenditures: An Incomplete Picture
From: arl.cni.org
"Questions asked both of ARL generally and of ARL member libraries individually are: How much are research libraries spending for electronic resources collectively and how much on average? How does an individual institution's expenditures for electronic resources compare with other research libraries? Such questions are to be expected as libraries move into a digital environment, but simple and credible answers remain elusive."
