- Indonesian Tycoon's Tea Party Connection?
Today's piece in the New York Times about a Tea Party group's Institute for Liberty's alleged ties to paper company Asia Pulp & Paper is stirring up controversy once again for Indonesian billionaire Eka Tjipta Widjaja. Asia Pulp & Paper is based in Singapore and produces paper and paper products in Indonesia, China and other parts of the region. Its parent company, Sinar Mas, is part of Widjaja's $6 billion empire, and the paper company's been taking a lot of heat lately from American competitors and environmentalists for alleged illegal logging practices, plus there's a proposed paper tariff that would impact the company's exports to the U.S. The Times piece asserts that the Institute for Liberty, which it reports has attacked critics of Asia Pulp & Paper and defended their right to sell tariff-free products in the U.S., isn't just incensed because of the philosophical issues involved; the group is lobbying for the Widjaja company. Institute for Liberty says it hasn't accepted any money from them. 紙会社アジアパルプ＆紙に自由の疑惑の関係のためのコーヒー党のグループの研究についてのニューヨークタイムズ紙に今日の作品は、インドネシアの億万長者て、Eka Tjipta Widjajaさんと再び論争を煽っている

- The real story behind job creation | Dean Baker
March's job numbers were greeted rapturously by the business press. Scratch the surface of the data and things are not so rosyWhen the labour department announced that the US economy had created 216,000 jobs in March, it set off a round of celebrations throughout Washington policy circles. The word in the New York Times, the Washington Post and other major news outlets was that the economy was back on course; we were on the right path.Those who know arithmetic were a bit more sceptical. If the economy sustained March's rate of job growth, it will be more than seven years before we get back to normal rates of unemployment. Furthermore, some of this growth likely reflected a bounceback from weaker growth the prior two months. The average rate of job growth over the last three months has been just 160,000. At that pace, we won't get back to normal rates of unemployment until after 2022.That's a long time to make ordinary workers suffer because the folks who run the economy are not very good at their job. In addition to the job growth numbers, the March data also showed that the unemployment rate slipped down by another 0.1 percentage point. It now stands at 8.8%, almost a full percentage point below its year ago level of 9.7%. This, too, was treated as cause for celebration. While that may sound like progress, a more careful look at the data makes this number less impressive. The percentage of the population that is employed has actually fallen by 0.1 percentage point over the last year. In order to be counted as unemployed, you have to say that you are looking for work. The unemployment rate did not fall because the unemployed had found jobs; rather, the unemployment rate fell because people have given up looking for work. Only in Washington would this be hailed as good n 月のジョブ番号は、ビジネスのマスコミが熱狂的に迎えられた

Robert Gibbs wanted to manage social networking site's communications departmentFacebook is in talks to hire Robert Gibbs, US president Barack Obama's former press secretary, to manage the social network's communications department, according to the New York Times.Gibbs, who quit his White House post in February after two years as one of Obama's closest confidants, will help guide Facebook through a planned initial public offering in 2012, the paper reported on Sunday night.The talks are at an early stage and no formal offer has been made, sources familiar with the discussions told the New York Times.

- Morning Tech Wrap: Google, Sprint, Groupon
Google's ambitions to organize the world's information by digitizing every book ever published has hit a snag: a New York Judge has rejected a $125 million legal settlement Google had reach with publishers and authors as part of its years-long attempt to create the world's largest library and bookstore. Judge Denny Chin said that the settlement would give Google a "de factor monopoly," according to the New York Times, allowing it to profit from books without the permission of copyright owners. The decision caps two years of painstaking negotiations between Google and the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers (who had sued Google in 2005 over the project). The Times notes the negotiations had turned the groups into "allies instead of opponents," and saw them defend the book-scanning project against criticisms from rivals like Amazon and Microsoft. "Now the author and publisher groups have to decide whether to resume their copyright case against Google, drop it or try to negotiate a new settlement," the Times adds. ニューヨーク判事は、Googleが世界最大のライブラリを作成し、その年の長い試みの一環として、出版社や著者と到達した125000000ドル訴訟の和解を拒否しています：Googleの野望はこれまで暗礁に乗り上げるが公開されて一冊の本をデジタル化し、世界の情報を整理すると本屋
