Amy Chua Is a Wimp
“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” may denounce soft American-style parenting, but its author shelters her children from the truly arduous experiences necessary to achieve.David Brooks starts his column with a double presumption."Chua, as you probably know, is the Yale professor who has written a bracing critique of what she considers the weak, cuddling American parenting style. "As it happens, Amy Chua did neither of these things and says so plainly.http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/fashion/16Cultural.htmlDavid Brooks and she agree on what is a satisfactory result.Mr. Brooks mistakes criticism for recommendation."If she has one regret, she said, it is that the Journal excerpt, and particularly the headline, did not reflect the full arc of her story." -

Now at Starbucks: Buy a Latte By Waving Your Phone
Futurists have long predicted that one day, shoppers will swipe cellphones instead of credit cards to make purchases. At Starbucks stores nationwide, that is about to become a reality.If this is the case, I should be able to pick pockets by walking down the street with the right gadget. A really bad idea. -

A border collie knows 1,022 nouns, a record that displays the unexpected depths of the canine mind.I see it is broad. I wonder how much philosophy dogs indulge in. -

Video Captured ‘Calculated’ Gunman in Tucson Shooting
“Video captured ‘calculated’ gunman in #Tucson shooting - http://nyti.ms/dMPFRV”He will be found guilty. The remaining question is was there a criminal conspiracy or was this a "Lone Gunman". We can ask him. We can trace the gun, we can examine his writings. It is time for a very careful interrogation before he goes for execution.The school system seems to have failed him and us.

I will need a few weeks to get things organised.My sister was so very relieved that I was not demanding an immediate change of the watch.

The jobless rate is higher in the United States than in Britain, Germany, Japan or Russia, according to a new study, pointing to American employers’ unusual degree of power.David Leonhardt can't be paying attention.The employment picture is recovering nicely in China.Production is outsourced. There is little left here but management."The moribund condition of the patient is masked by a high fever." -
