        Singapore Math Adopted in More U.S. Schools
        “How to make math easy for elementary school students? Go slow. - http://nyti.ms/aup8vJ via @cityroom”
        I think we can do better. Proofs have no place the instruction of children.  Applications are vital.  What they are learning is how. they are very practical. The beauty and the history can wait. The power of the understood model and the tools to use it gracefully may be the key to successful instruction.

      Apps for MoMA, Museum of Natural History and Others
      Sophisticated smartphone museum guides are inevitable. But the ones I tried show the form only in its infancy.
      From the review, The app must become part of the curators work.
      Usually this work is done for show catalogues. The museum collection often is not considered a show.  The composition of a show is often a years long project. much of the material is borrowed from other collections. the price of such a project is touring the show.

      I seem to have convinced myself that good apps are show specific.
      No large museum has its entire collection mounted at any time. The app should explain the logic of the gallery or galleries. in the process it should point out the reason for including the specific included objects along with the usual label information. including side branches in other galleries would be a good idea.  If other collections are available in other institutions they should be included as a sublayer with links.  Scholarship on individual works should be linked.
      As the guide is intended for a casual visitor the scholarship should not obtrude into the progress of the visit without request.  The guide app should present in audio with text and visuals in parallel.  The gallery is primarily a visual experience.  The app should not detract from that.

        Combing Your Friends’ Tastes, Not the Whole Web’s
        “Reading: Search Takes a Social Turn http://nyti.ms/axemzH”
        popular taste is what China needs to know.  I want the imperial taste. My production will be small and I would like to maximize my income and my rewards.  Your taste leads the pack.

      California Reduces Its Penalty for Marijuana
      As the state struggles, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has made possession of marijuana more like a traffic ticket.
      Reads like the governator wants to go down swinging. The poll says it will be legalized.  Now to do in proposition 13.

        Syphilis Experiment Is Revealed, Prompting U.S. Apology to Guatemala
        “Syphilis Experiment Is Revealed, Prompting U.S. Apology to Guatemala - http://nyti.ms/c5NJmh Trying to get this out again. Horrible.”
        It was horrible. It is over. Other things deserve our horrified attention. Recent things and continuing things.  We must get our agents to behave themselves or at least maintain deny-ability.

        The Truth About Being ‘Outsourced’
        “The Truth About Being ‘Outsourced’ - http://nyti.ms/cUn5vL”
        The problem in South Asia is that nation building ended early.
        Its direction satisfied none of its participants and the attempts to further it have only deepened the discontent.  The outsourced enterprises will desert in search of lower costs.  The first enterprise that automates the help desk will earn all users undying thanks.

        Too Funny for Words
        “Too Funny for Words - http://nyti.ms/bWgZev” 
        I will take you at your post and continue to circumlocute.
        I think a well phrased dissing is far more effective than a heart felt foulness.
