[Back to Contents]The National Minimum Wage: The Story So Far -- United Kingdom Low Pay Commission
http://www.lowpay.gov.uk/lowpay/report2/complete.pdf
The National Minimum Wage: The Story So Far is the second report of the United Kingdom Low Pay Commission. The Commission was asked to monitor the results of the implemantation of the National Minimum Wage in April 1999. The first report mainly considered the impact of the National Minimum Wage on 21-year olds. This second report comes after a series of commissioned research projects, surveys, and seminars. Highlighted findings of the report show that "a large number of people have benefited" from the National Minimum Wage. Two-thirds of the beneficiaries are working women, two-thirds of whom work part time. Employment growth in low-paying sectors continued to rise. The main body of the report explains each of the measures taken by the Commission, including the sections "Young People and the Development Rate," "Managing the National Minimum Wage," and "Compliance and Enforcement." Finally, the Commission offers conclusions for this step of the process and explains its next steps. The .pdf format report is well-organized, and the main text of the report is supplemented by a sidebar that highlights important facts and findings. [EM]

60 Days to Launch: The Anatomy of an Internet Startup [Quicktime 4]
http://www.60daystolaunch.com/index.html
This new Website features a daily video diary of the conception of an Internet start-up company, mucho.com, a commercial website designed to help small businesses use the Internet more effectively (does this feel like gazing at the Internet's navel to anyone besides me?). While mucho.com went online in April, 60 Days to Launch launched in July, posting a daily episode counting down the sixty-days to mucho.com's start-up. Visitors can view today's video entry as well as access all the past entries. The segments are about one to two minutes long (four to five megabytes) and are well-edited to try to maximize the sense of "being there" within the short daily window the filmmakers have. Visitors get a peek at real Internet geeks brainstorming, conferencing, schmoozing, designing databases, sharing office gossip, and more. The filmmakers are much more interested in the look and feel of an Internet start-up rather than the "nuts and bolts." So this is no tutorial, but it's a fascinating bit of contemporary anthropology. Visitors will need to have Quicktime 4 downloaded and may experience waits of up to 3 minutes for individual downloads. The segments come in three different resolutions, allowing users to choose the one most appropriate for their connection capabilities. [DC]
[Back to Contents]Science, Tobacco, and You -- AdSmart
http://scienceu.fsu.edu/content/adsmart/docs/teacherinfo.html
This brief primer on advertising literacy provides the basic know-how to teach how and why advertising works. Along with three short lessons on the history of advertising, AdSmart also offers an excellent introduction to evaluating advertising. According to AdSmart, all advertisements include four elements: attention, interest, desire, and action, or AIDA for short. A successful ad will grab a viewer's attention, perk his or her interest, create a desire for the product, and the viewer will take the action to go out and actually purchase the item or serivce. AdSmart also explains the ways that buzzwords such as "virtually," "help," and "new and improved" are used to mislead audiences. Finally, these and other lessons and tips are applied to the advertising of the tobacco industry. This fascinating look at advertising is sure to "help" open the eyes of "virtually" all consumers.

8) Glossary of Anti-Trust Terms
http://home.mpinet.net/cmueller/ii-03.html
On Tuesday, August 8, 2000, 28 states, including New York and Florida, banded together to file a federal lawsuit against five of the largest record companies and three major music retailers, accusing them of fixing the prices of compact discs. The lawsuit charges the music companies Tower Records, Sony, BMG, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music with inflating the price of CDs by as much as $2, according to New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. This suit comes on the heels of an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission that concluded that the companies' pricing policies had led to higher CD prices. However, unlike the FTC investigation, which settled for ending the price fixing, the states' suit is asking for damages. According to the FTC, American consumers may have paid as much as $480 million more than they should have for CDs over the past two-and-a-half years. At the center of the lawsuit is the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Program, a program in which music producers pay a certain amount of the costs to advertise an album, and record stores agree to sell the album at or above a set price.
CNN (1) and the Washington Post(2) offer excellent overviews of the lawsuit filed by the 28 states, as well as background for the case. Wired News's coverage of the lawsuit (3) gives an in-depth explanation of the Minimum Advertised Price Program. The BBC (4) reports that EMI, one of the record companies named in the lawsuit, does not believe it has done anything illegal. This press release (5) from New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer gives a short synopsis of the lawsuit, and links to a .pdf version of the 36-page suit itself (6), which offers first-hand explanations of the complaints from the 28 states. The Federal Trade Commission's guide to Illegal Business Practices (7) explains several key issues in vertical and horizontal agreements. Created by Charles E. Mueller, editor-in-chief of the Antitrust Law and Economics Review, this glossary (8) gives thoughtful definitions for a large collection of anti-trust terms. [EM]
