      The Kno, a Tablet for the College Market
      “The Kno, a Tablet for the College Market - http://nyti.ms/aQPZvO #mLearnCon” 
      I read the piece.  
      It is unclear to me what problem this box solves.  There is no discussion of the reader software. Viewing a two leaf spread seems a problem in book illustration design.  Map software  works very well on one screen.

    A Light Lunch in Spain 

    Muscles marinara with parsley sauce sounds quick easy and good. Dinoflagelates are the only real problem. Known as red tide.
    The Restaurant can close for all of me. Its work is done. 
    A teaching centre is as good an idea as there is.

    China's Debt Monster - Room for Debate
    Is China's spending on giant public projects a worthwhile investment, or does the rising debt threaten the country's economy?
    With the rapid fall off of the overseas markets it is necessary.
    This borrowing is keeping the labour force employed and reasonably content.
    Depression is not an option for them.

    The Tea Party Is Challenging the G.O.P. - Room for Debate
    The Tea Party seems to be on a collision course with three key Republican factions, conflicts which could fracture and even cripple that party.

    A Very New York Approach

    David Tisch David Tisch, director of TechStars

    New York does not now have the manufacturing base.
    The small shops that have lead the field are not now here.
    Management, marketing and sales.
    Farmingdale and Haupauge

      Ancient Church, Welcoming Pub and ‘Public Sex Environment’
      Puttenham, England became a popular place for people to go to have sex in public, a quasi-legal activity in Britain.
      The locals don't like it.  Let's get a comfortable room with a door that locks.  Poison Ivy is not recommended.

      Better but not a winner yet.  I would look again at release time. 
      I want to see several full usb ports and for that price a contract free cellular data link along with a very flexible wifi.  If they are going to put Linux on it, it should not be locked in.

    Addictive Personality? You Might be a Leader
    What we seek in leaders is often the same risk-taking personality type that is found in addicts.
    I think not.
    Addictive risks are well known.  The benefits are also known.
    An addict in recovery is a reasonable risk as a leader.

    Markets Expected Credit Ruling, but Risks Remain, Analysts Say
    Blather. Everyone is thinking.
    Many investment decisions are brain dead.

    "The real question facing America, even in purely fiscal terms, isn’t whether we’ll trim a trillion here or a trillion there from deficits. It is whether the extremists now blocking any kind of responsible policy can be defeated and marginalized." P.K.

      New American Academy in Brooklyn Is an Experiment in Class Size
      “Reading about an "atelier" learning experiment in NY Kinderg. I'm a fan of the atelier. Tho this sounds a tad chaotic http://nyti.ms/ewgsmb” 
      "It draws its inspiration, he said, from Phillips Exeter Academy, an elite boarding high school in New Hampshire where students in small classes work collaboratively and hold discussions around tables."
      The experiment started by intentionally violating the model. I read this as a mildly negative interim report.  It reads like an attempt to teach the king's horse to sing hymns.  
      If it works, wonderful.  
      If it does not work how does the system deal with the ruins?  
      Would you bet your child?    
      Early childhood is not a long period and things must be learned then or done without.

      Medical Editors Push for Crackdown on Ghostwriting
      “Medical Editors Push for Crackdown on Ghostwriting - http://bit.ly/3i92V”
      Dependably I object.  
      A published paper is not an examination.  There is no key of right answers.  There is really only the honour of the author or authors and peer review.  If peer review breaks down the repute of the Journal and the review pannle is ruined, probably permanently.  If an author is caught in deliberate distortion or worse, lying,  That author will be suspect for however much career remains to him.
      Ghost writing seems to me to be perfectly acceptable with the understanding that the signatory is betting his entire career on his ability to make the ghost a trustworthy agent.  Any punishment congress or the journal editors could hand out is small compared to the destruction that should be laid on a purposeful deceiver by the reviewing peers.

    Amid Season of Unrest, London Fears More Rioting
    They may well get more rioting.
    There is a long history of such.
    Really bad policy does get bad behaviour. The general strikes of the last century have faded from memory.

    Obama Team Turns Its Focus to Tough Re-election Fight

    We disapprove of Obama for not winning this year.
    We disapprove of the Republican caucus for blocking necessary legislation.  The Republican program must not be executed.
