Synopsis
|
In
the future, the
world will be run
by giant American
corporations.
Everybody will be
so happy, tax-free
and rich that they
will change their
name to that of
their company.
Hack Nike,
however, is a
lowly
Merchandising
Officer with
negative career
equity. In
the future, this
is not a good
thing.
So when John
Nike and John Nike
offer Hack Nike a
job marketing a
new line of
really, really
expensive trainers
he is
understandably
thrilled. He
is less thrilled
when he discovers
that his duties
include shooting
teenagers. |

Forest
Fire,
Ouachita
National
Wildlife
Refuge
Dry
conditions
and high
winds have
lead to
numerous
recent
fire
outbreaks
throughout
much of
the
southwestern
and
south-central
USA.
Drought
conditions
have
persisted
in the
region for
months,
leading to
a build-up
of fire
fuels,
including
dried
grasses,
shrubs,
and trees.
The
combination
of high
amounts of
dry fuel
and
frequent
high winds
has stoked
small
fires into
widespread
brush
fires.
This
January
2006
photograph
captures a
25-kilometer
long smoke
plume from
a fire in
the Upper
Ouachita
National
Wildlife
Refuge in
northeastern
Louisiana.
The image
was
acquired
by the
Expedition
12 crew on
the
International
Space
Station as
it passed
over the
Texas-Louisiana
border.
