How Many Widgets Can 98,000 Employees Create?
Question: How many widgets can a company of 98,000 create?
Answer: None, as the focus is taking -- not making.
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Twenty-four Internal Revenue Service workers were found guilty of criminal activities ranging from unauthorized tax return snooping to stealing money in the six months to March 2006, a new report said Thursday.
The Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration, in its semiannual report to Congress, also said 26 cases of employee criminal misconduct were accepted for prosecution between Oct. 1, 2005, and March 31, 2006.
The Inspector General report summarizes its investigations and activities during this period. The misconduct arose from a broad workforce of about 98,000 workers in dozens of facilities across the country.
The report also found the IRS terminated 41 workers during the six-month period for various violations of taxpayer rights.

Cheap Clean Water
A water desalination system using carbon nanotube-based membranes could significantly reduce the cost of purifying water from the ocean.
The membranes, which sort molecules by size and with electrostatic forces, could also separate various gases, perhaps leading to economical ways to capture carbon dioxide emitted from power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere.

Riverfront Eviction
Conn. City Evicts Residents With Eminent Domain
New London, Conn. city officials voted to evict two residents whose refusal to give up their riverfront houses helped lead to the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling that governments may seize property for private development projects.
The City Council voted 5-2 in favor of eviction Monday. An attorney for the residents said they are considering continuing to fight.
"You are a disgrace to the city, the state and the nation," one of the residents, Michael Cristofaro, told council members who voted to evict.

Built Not To Last
Engineering Mistakes
3. Vasa, 1628
Three hundred years before the Titanic, the Vasa was the biggest sailing vessel of its day. The overloaded ship ruled the seas for all of a mile before she took on water through her too-low gun ports and promptly capsized.
7. Purity Distilling Company tank, 1919
You gotta keep your molasses somewhere – how about a rickety tank 50 feet tall and 90 feet in diameter in the middle of Boston? The structure was painted brown to hide the leaks. Eventually it burst (possibly exploding from fermentation), sending waves of molasses up to 15 feet high into the city and killing 21.
