      No.  A price for the stock was established.  There is a lot of stock in the possession of the venture capitalists.  I will do the arithmetic deconstruction of the event if you wish.

    I found it the first time.  I may hire a staff if I strike money.  
    I intend to get a book keeper / store keeper  sometime.  
    Constant interruption is not fun.
    Like everyone else I am the creative part of my operation.

      “The Case for Self-Publishing - http://nyti.ms/kiDNiN” 
      Yes.  First write a chapter and an outline. send it around and see if it gets a publisher.  Advances are very nice.  I am not ready to try a book yet.

      Record Snowpacks Could Threaten Western States
      “Turns out its a *slow-moving* apocalypse. "Record Snowpacks Threaten Western US" - http://nyti.ms/invZZg” 
      Continental glaciation is not coming this year.  We are not ready in any case.  I am waiting for your call to make a real plan.
      Clearing off the flood plains will get rid of a lot of foreclosed houses and some of the surplus inventory.

      Artificial Leaves Might Help Power the World
      “Artificial Leaves Might Help Power the World - http://nyti.ms/mn7Xwo” 
      Bookmarked.  I want to read those papers.  I really doubt that this will work.  Algae do the job and require no further development.  
      Photovoltaic systems are near the theoretical max. 
      The poor have very little money, by definition.

      Showing Gay Teens a Happy Future
      A new online video channel is reaching out to teenagers who are bullied at school for being gay. The message: life really does get better after high school.
      Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

      I have missed it in recent years.  I am glad it is getting some attention. 
      Still, some people have more money than they know what to do with.

      Haunted by Their Medicare Vote
      “Haunted by Their Medicare Vote - http://nyti.ms/mKZYMV” 
      Properly so.  We really need topay attention to what the Healthcare reform act will do to Medicare.  
      I think costs will drop precipitously.   I also think Vermont comes in with an aria.

    Think you know what the Bible says about social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage? Take this quiz and let’s see.
    The sins of Sodom  were a surprise to me.

      For Obama Trip to Europe, Family Ties and Mideast Divisions
      “Obama goes looking for his Irish cousins. Is he also going to visit his Muslim cousins in Kenya?- http://nyti.ms/kqG8n7” 
      No visit to Kenya this time.  He needs Democratic party loyalty. A visit to Ireland in spring seems a low price for it.  Let him do the raining on his parade.

      400 academics 1,500,000 students.
      a student teacher ratio of 1/3750.
      Not much teaching going on.  
      It is not the first or even the second time that Islam has burned the books.
      Computers must be anathema.  
      Give them computers and satellite links.

      An American Idol Just for Opera
      “Great NY Times Magazine piece on the opera world's equivalent of "American Idol" - http://nyti.ms/lNBnXw” 
      Some years ago PBS filmed this contest. It made great television.
      It reads well here.
      I have found performances thrilling but have always felt there should be more.   My search is paused.  I know that music can do it.  I am unsure where to search.

      Students Wait as Legislators Decide Cuts
      “Great story by @ucthanhtan - Students Wait as Legislators Decide Cuts - http://nyti.ms/mflWQV” 
      All legislators need happy constituents. Promises of aid make constituents happy.  Promises of taxes do not.  Texas is not a happy place.

    Behind Grass-Roots School Advocacy, Bill Gates
    Bill Gates’s foundation is financing bands of educators to pose alternatives to union orthodoxies on issues like the seniority system and the use of student test scores to evaluate teachers.
    Teaching is broken.  The Gates foundation agrees.  
    How it is broken and what a fix would be I do not know. 
    As a good agnostic I suspect that others also do not know.
    There are a few things I do know about learning.
    Children learn everything. They are born as near to blank slates as possible.  Sex is genetic.  Sexual orientation seems to be genetic.
    Body type and colouration are genetic.
    Everything that is not genetic is learned.
    Unlearning things is nearly impossible and is different from forgetting.
