      I think not.
      The company will probably do well now.  
      They may have returned to innovation.

      Do Not Pass
      “Do Not Pass - http://nyti.ms/9Rq2Tu” 
      Do not confuse the tar baby with the briar patch.
      The briar patch is an hostile environment that is home for some.
      The briar patch could be understood a slave culture both in Africa and the Americas.
      The Tar Baby looks to me much more like racism.  
      An attractive bait  that adheres to and traps all who come in contact with it.   
      Moynihan had the ill luck to attach a powerful sociological observation to a piece of racist propaganda.  Racism fouled the perception of a culture of poverty to the point that the understanding is unusable in any nonracial context.
      It is a sad loss for social engineering, the essence of politics.

      Oslo Suspect Cultivated Parallel Life to Disguise ‘Martyrdom Operation’
      “psycho bastard. | Oslo Suspect Cultivated Parallel Life to Disguise ‘Martyrdom Operation’ - http://nyti.ms/qG6BUi” 
      The degree of planning and organization required to raid Rome with rowboats has not been exceeded.
      Norway considers him insane but he is far from stupid. 
      His ignorance of the state of his native society is amazing.
      He will spend many years in an asylum with no control of the doors.

      More Hispanics in U.S. Calling Themselves Indian
      “More Hispanics in U.S. Calling Themselves Indian - http://nyti.ms/kuamiB” 
      A language includes  an idiomatic burden that is an inseparable part of it.  Cervantes comes with the language of Spain as Shakespeare comes with English.  
      They may be Indians but they are Hispanic Indians.

      George Lucas Helps Scholars for 'Star Wars and History'
      “George Lucas Helps Scholars for 'Star Wars and History' - http://nyti.ms/kriOUv” 
      We have about five thousand years of historical record.
      We have about three thousand years of mathematical thinking available to us.
      My father told me that the easiest way to solve a problem is to find a similar problem in the record with a successful resolution and do something similar.  The records of failure are also useful as object lessons of courses to be avoided.  Conditions are always different.  Conditions surrounding the problem must be considered. 
      Both ignoring history and trying to repeat it are formulas for disaster.

      Willis Tower Suspends Visitors Above Chicago
      “I wanna do this --- Willis Tower Suspends Visitors Above Chicago - http://nyti.ms/mxPR6D” 
      I like it but many will not.  We have lived through a time for architectural adventure.  
      Let us build "rentable space".  
      A personal home built for cash can fit the mind of the owner.
      A property with a mortgage must please the loan officer at the bank.
      I don't want to worry about the loan officer.

      Court Deals a Blow to Columbia’s Expansion Plans
      “Court prevents Columbia from claiming eminent domain in Harlem! (Muy Grande for the Harlem Natives!) - http://bit.ly/7cAcQJ” 
      Columbia will just have to pay his price.  
      They are well able to do it. 
      The project wiped out George's interest in the area.
      George will go up to Yonkers if his present operation dies.
      I think he will live through this winter.
      He will suffer in this storm but his landlord will not evict him to build.

      East River Ferry Service Begins
      “East River Ferry Service Begins - http://nyti.ms/mKTuHj / Awesome, but only serves a minimal number of NYers & doesnt accept metro cards.” 
      This is not a new service.  I have taken the boat on several occasions.  It is a wonder and I hope it survives.

      There seems to be no good way to buy electricity.
      There is lots of green wash and marketing.

      I will look very carefully before putting collectors on the roof.

      A Conflict's Acoustic Shadows
      “Piggybacking my Civil War thought from earlier. A Conflict's Acoustic Shadows - http://nyti.ms/gxuOwp” 
      Ken Burns did much to cauterize the wound.
      Healing is a project for the gods.
      Generations of doctoral students can puzzle over the ramifications of Richard Nixon's southern strategy.
      If I have a legacy to dispose of a foundation for societal design could adsorb endless resources.

      Bookmarked under food.  
      I will study this but not tonight.
      A great deal of monocrop agriculture has gone south.
      Plantations are not good for the local diet.

      Quiet? In New York City? In Central Park?
      “Quiet? In New York City? In Central Park? - http://nyti.ms/mvTAuK @NYTimes asks why @CentralParkBuzz & NYPD are cracking down on musicians.” 
      A loud musician or attempted musician privatizes the acoustic space around.  
      The parks, being public, must not allow excessive privatization.

      Forget the Treadmill. Get a Dog.
      Here is a link to a very interesting and just plain fun to read blog about a man from NH and his dog, Atticus, who climb a lot of mountains in NH. I have been reading his column for years in a small newspaper in NH when we go there to our mountain home. He is now also writing a book called, 'Following Atticus.' It is all about his adventures in the White Mountains of NH with his dog (due out in September---getting a lot of buzz). Here is a link to his blog. (I don't personally know him or Atticus, I just like his writing) http://tomandatticus.blogspot.com/ I find the blog so comforting. And he is getting very good exercise and great companionship...both sorely needed in our hectic, many times isolated lives. A dog brings you outside of yourself, and also into yourself, all at the same time. Plus, they get you to get outside, which is a great gift. We are now going to start hiking more.....with our dogs, in the mountains. He has inspired us. Well, actually his dog has. 
      I read the essay with pleasure and saved the website.

      Does IMF Stand for Impressive Macroeconomic Flexibility?
      So the IMF is holding a meeting on rethinking macroeconomic policy (I was invited but couldn’t make the timing work.) And the Fund’s chief economist has already made it clear that he’s open to some serious revision of the prevailing paradigm.

      Waiting for the other shoe to fall.

      I was not aware of this toy poodle.  
      I know you come with attachments.
