What would happen if Mr. Trump’s corporate cabinet actually brought management innovation to the federal government?Government is not a "for profit enterprise".
Business management is not appropriate.

What the Chief Justice Should Have Said
In his year-end review, John G. Roberts Jr. should have warned against blocking Supreme Court nominations for partisan advantage.I can agree but that does not change Justice Roberts.
Church and state can and should be completely separate.

Putting Faith and Sports on the Same Team
A Minneapolis entrepreneur had help from the community as she sought to make hijabs that girls could wear on the playing field.Why not?
I am willing to work with the sales force.

Sidewalks With Ceilings
A City Council bill would force landlords to take down pointless sidewalk sheds.Give the homeless the right to camp under the sheds.

Bats Like Their Plant Nectar Sweet — Though Maybe the Plants Know Better
An evolutionary riddle suggests plants should give bats a sugar-heavy jolt, but a new study points to why the bats drink watery nectars in higher volumes.Sooner is better. As soon as you can is best.

Feed Your Kids Peanuts, Early and Often, New Guidelines Urge

Light Pillars, a Million-Mirror Optical Illusion on Winter Nights

Is Your Cocktail Making You Sick?
An office party, a violent illness and a medical mystery solved.Allergies are to be taken seriously.
The blue glow is very exciting,
It could be mistaken for Cherenkov radiation.

China Aims to Spend at Least $360 Billion on Renewable Energy by 2020
China’s announcement was a bold claim on leadership in the renewable energy industry, where Chinese companies are already among the world’s dominant players.Coal burning will not be reduced.
The rate of growth of coal burning will be reduced.
Global warming will continue.
China will contribute less to the rate of increase.

Macy’s and Sears have recently announced numerous closings, reflecting a climate in which online and discount retailers have outmaneuvered them.It could be that the customers are broke.

Can a Law Stop Distracted Driving? California Hopes to Find Out.
The state’s new law bans drivers from even holding mobile devices, but safety experts say it still might not be enough.I do not expect rapid change.

Ivanka Trump’s New Washington Home Once Belonged to a Putin Foe

Business Day
Sensing Gains Ahead Under Trump, the Kochs Court Minorities
Anticipating a fossil fuel resurgence, the ultraconservative brothers, who run an oil and petroleum conglomerate, are busily expanding their outreach.Hell is a difficult sell.
Better for the planet has little appeal to the cold and hungry.

Trump May Not Like Alternative Energy, but Investors Should
With clean energy creating jobs in every state, the sector has become as much about getting returns on investments as it is about helping the environment.Alternative energy is dependent on regulations.
There are good reasons for the regulations.
Trump and the Republican faction will try to end those regulations.

Opinion
Unholy Alliances
Europe’s pro-Russia populist leaders are finding encouragement in Donald Trump’s example.The political situation is messy here and in Europe.
The world economy is not working.
I am not happy.
I have not found a way to be happy with the nation or the world.
