Highly controversial Cafta Agreement is signed into law.
Quoting Edmund L. Andrews in The New York Times, "Trade agreements have almost always been difficult to pass, because any reduction in barriers provokes intense opposition from unions and industries that would face new competition...
In economic terms, the Central American trade pact will have a negligible impact on the United States. About 80 percent of the exports from those countries to the United States were already duty-free, and the total trade volumes are tiny: American exports to the six countries - about $17 billion a year - are about equal to the annual global exports of New Jersey."
 Juan Carlos Pereira Juan Carlos' interview is here.

Crash, Boom, Yikes!
Dear friends;
Last week, the server Landed.fm was hosted on fried. Burned to the
ground, blew up, fractured — i.e. is no longer with us; along with much
of the
content in the database. This was 9.0 on the Richter Scale.
We are in the process of trying to resurrect as much of the content as
possible (beginning with the interviews). There are
a total of two people working on this site part-time - and one of them
couldn't write a line of decent computer code if his life depended upon
it.
We do have some great new interviews coming this week, so please be
patient while we continue to clean up the mess and re-stock the shelves.
Peter Clayton.

(Dot) Jobs Approved
Gerry Crispin in his blog, The CareerXroads Annex reports that ICANN has approved a new internet domain .jobs. According to Gerry, this is a big deal because "Only legit companies with real jobs can obtain this
.com analog for jobs. Monster of course can get monster.jobs but, only
for the page where its own jobs resides, not for directing job seekers
to its clients jobs. Same for Adecco, Manpower and 20,000 other 3rd
party staffing firms. Hmmm might be a discussion or two on the horizon."
Gerry's complete article can be found here.
