Economics, History, Politics, and Random Thoughts. Thursday, May 05, 2005. Colombia hands over US soldiers. This news is really depressing. That's all I have to say. Colombia has handed over to the US two American soldiers suspected of trafficking weapons to paramilitaries. The United States said the allegations were "extremely troubling" and would be investigated fully. Colombian authorities said they found 31,000 rounds of ammunition when they arrested the two men at an apartment near Bogota on Tuesday.

Blaahg: Brazil's monetary policy dilemma
http://blaahg.blogspot.com/2005/04/brazils-monetary-policy-dilemma.html
Economics, History, Politics, and Random Thoughts. Wednesday, April 27, 2005. Brazil's monetary policy dilemma. Is trying to meet its inflation target of 5.1% this year, but there are plenty of obstacles.

Charting visual data communication. Visual Explanation of the Week #2: Graphical Algebra. Even a short glance over visual data yields a wealth of information, such as the number of represented objects. The ability to grasp that number in but a moment is called subitizing. Research on the phenomenon has shown that humans can usually identify the quantity of objects up to five, and up to eight with training. Cognitive shortcuts like subitizing are employed in the fabulous graphics made by Oliver Steele.
