I got to know Ted Kheel over the final decade of his remarkable life, which ended at age 96 on Sunday. To get a sense of the man and his accomplishments, including his mediation of tens of thousands of disputes (that’s not a typo), read The ...
As long as the parties involved insist on unconditional surrender the conflict will continue. None of them is volunteering to die.
Great pain seems to be the only entry to closed minds.
Pain usually does not kill. It just makes death desirable.

Old news. They are conservatives. They do not change.

“Knee deep in 'Zombie Politics' > great @nytimes article The Zombie Jamboree - http://nyti.ms/c708bG /cc: @elephantjournal #nobrrraaaains”
Another way to say brain dead. this one gets a giggle.

“Why Doctors Should Take Sick Days - http://nyti.ms/dyOXu7”
This is a problem with maximized profitability. Very predictable staffing shortfalls. It applies here in home care too.

“=( Climate Futures Exchange Is No More - http://nyti.ms/9V2huZ”
The oil companies really hated it. The best government money can buy.

“Interesting article #SoMe policy: Worker is protected when fired over Facebook comment- http://nyti.ms/amX3qd”
The GOP does not run the civil service.

North Korea showed an American scientist last week a vast new facility it secretly and rapidly built to enrich uranium.
Plutonium is a much easier and cheaper bomb metal. Going to a uranium enrichment system shows a curious ignorance.
Why in the world would they go to step one from step four?
I can only think they want to manipulate world opinion as opposed to playing power politics. Iran has been very successful with this play.

“Are they all being bribed? Blagojevich and Legal Bribery - http://nyti.ms/bX0lL6”

Paul Krugman is deadly accurate most of the time. When he seems to miss, he is looking under a different rock. I enjoy watching him do the heavy lifting.

Pope Benedict XVI said condom use, previously banned by the Vatican, could be justified in some cases.
This is a fighting retreat. Sex is still sinful. Murder is more sinful.

The book’s publisher cannot print copies quickly enough, leaving bookstores stranded as holiday shopping begins.

“Steve Martin’s ‘Object of Beauty’ Tackles New York Art World - http://nyti.ms/98GYVO”
Steve Martin is a professional observer of more than just the visual world. It is the humorist's stock in trade.
We should call it a system rather than a world. Steve Martin has caught one node, the dealer-owner interaction. Collecting is one part of this node, decorating is another. Design is a separate node as is creation. Design and creation are not very visible as processes.
The library aspects he points to are curatorial. They are not vital to creation.

“Fearless Children Don’t Recognize Fear in Others: Studied, New Article by University of Haifa - http://nyti.ms/ddqXRX”
There are real differences between growing up "guy" and "girl"
The investigator in this article, a nice Jewish girl, needs to look closely at guy childhood. Guys are different. Some need to get badly hurt early to become human. If they do not, we call them sociopaths.

“Tony Hawk Gave Up the Violin for Skateboarding - http://nyti.ms/c2gPpY Come back Tony! Do a 900 while playing Bach! ”
"Q. Ever regret not sticking with the violin?
A. I’d have less scars. Maybe."

Consumer advocates fear that the new health care law could worsen some of the problems it was meant to solve.
FUD is a favourite. Let us combine against them. Single payer.
