I love cool water displays, like the fountains at the old Kahunaville. Someday I hope to grovel at the base of the Bellagio. So, naturally, I drooled a little when I saw this video clip about a specially designed waterfall that can scroll text and shapes. Alan’s probably going to get to see it in person. Hrmf.
Steven Horwitz, a professor of economics at St. Lawrence University, published a study that shows why local businesses are more effective in assisting in an emergency than the federal government. The study says Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Lowe’s made use of their local knowledge about supply chains, infrastructure, decision makers and other resources to provide…

The fountains at the Bellagio are awesome, especially at nght. I know the next time we go to Vegas, that is a key spot to try and stay. Feeling like an Egyptian queen was not bad either though:).
