I'm feeling better today, but today's a slow news day.

James Fallows and Bruce Schneier talk security.
Andrew Sullivan live-blogged the first televised debate between UK's party leaders.
Robert Litan explores the derivatives market.
A federal court judge orders a Mississippi county to desegregate. In 2010.
Here's a cracker of a speech by Lord Adair Turner, Chairman of the Financial Services Authority, on financial regulation.

Have a great weekend folks!

On Thursday night, Jay Ackroyd interviewed Bruce "Mr. Sanity about Security" Schneier and me in an hour-long discussion session on Second Life. Web cast available here. Gentle hint to other radio and TV producers: Ackroyd has really figured out a nice way to promo his guests' books and other writing! You'll see what I mean.

I had read several of Lord Turner’s speeches, a senior British financial regulator, but I hadn’t actually seen him talk before, even on video. His speech on financial regulation and economic thinking was fantastic. Like, really great, and is worth your time if you are thinking seriously about these things.
