EMERGENCY FUNDS-CONSUMERS (HFR)
Even after the jolt of the Great Recession, most Americans aren't financially prepared for an emergency. A new study being released Monday addresses how many have the recommended cushion of at least six months' expenses set aside. By Personal Finance Writer Dave Carpenter.

INTERNET FEVER
SAN FRANCISCO - If you're worried that the successful, highly publicized stock offerings of LinkedIn and Pandora signal a new bubble in tech stocks, here's something to keep in mind: The market is nowhere close to the giddy late 1990s, when investors bought stocks as impulsively as lottery tickets. Measured against earnings, tech stocks are the cheapest they've been in nine years. By Technology Writer Michael Liedtke.

BEYOND DOT-COMS
WASHINGTON - Coming soon to the Internet: Domain name suffixes such as ".bank" and ".vegas." The Internet's key oversight agency will meet in Singapore next week to vote on a sweeping transformation of the online addressing system. Hundreds of suffixes could join ".com" over the next few years. The new names could open the door for all sorts of business models and thriving online communities. But they took a decade to come together - just as consumers move away from typing in Web address and rely more on search engines and mobile apps to find information.

IBM-CENTENNIAL
ENDICOTT, N.Y. - Google, Apple and Facebook get all the attention. But the forgettable everyday tasks of technology - saving a file on your laptop, swiping your ATM card to get to 40 bucks, getting a gallon of milk scanned at the checkout line - that's all IBM. International Business Machines turns 100 on Thursday without much fanfare, unless you count the brief fuss over its "Jeopardy!"-winning supercomputer, Watson. But its sexier and much younger competitors owe a lot to Big Blue. By Michael Hill and Jordan Robertson.

Werner Herzog on God, Phone Books, and Albino Crocodiles | Mockingbird
A great little interview on The Colbert Report with our beloved Werner Herzog . I was fortunate enough to see his new documentary, Cave of Forgotten Dreams , and it is very much worth your time, especially if you can see it in 3-D. The documentary explores the Chauvet cave in Southern France, which contains the oldest known paintings on the planet – by far (ca. 28,000 B.C.). And it does so with characteristic Herzog-ness. As a sidenote, Herzog mentions the religious aspect of the discovery in the interview – all signs point to the caves having served a religious function – and makes a joke about the cave-dwellers inventing God. We of course might see it as encouraging evidence of an unchanging spiritual reality, of our relation to the divine being a fundamental drive, who knows, maybe even something we were created for…
A couple of transcribed quotes, after the video, ht WRB:
Herzog: “In Cave of Forgotten Dreams there’s a postscript when all of a sudden you see radioactive albino crocodiles in the film. I called the producer from when I was shooting and he was in a pet store in Vancouver and just had bought a cage for a hamster and he said ‘I just bought a cage of a hamster’ and I said ‘I’m filming albino mutant crocodiles, radioactive crocodiles.’ And I hear this clatter. He dropped the cage! And said, ‘you are shooting WHAT?’ And I said I am shooting albino crocodiles, and they will be in the film.”
Herzog: “You see, if I were only fact based… you see, the book of books then, in literature, would be the Manhattan phone directory. Four million entries, everything correct. But it dusts out of my ears and I do not know: do they dream at night? Does Mr. Jonathan Smith cry in his pillow at night? We do not know anything when we check all the correct all the correct entries in the phone directory. I’m not this kind of a filmmaker.” David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird blog. Born in New York City and brought up elsewhere, David graduated from Georgetown University in 2001 (B.A. History and German), and then served for five years as an itinerant youth minister with FOCUS (Fellowship Of Christians in Universities and Schools), restarting their New England Boarding Schools region. He left in 2007 to found Mockingbird in New York City.
