The Upshot
Apr 27th 2015
Most meals at American restaurants are packed with processed food
and enough calories to cover two or three sensible meals. Yet it’s
entirely possible to eat healthy, tasty restaurant meals. Every meal
here stays under 750 calories, and every breakfast is under 500. We’ll
start with some good news...
FOOD; RESTAURANTS; DIET AND NUTRITION; FAST FOOD INDUSTRY; CALORIES
I avoid sucrose and other sources of fructose.
I find I don't need to worry about portion size.

The Upshot

A review of studies shows that coffee’s reputation as being
unhealthy is undeserved, with the potential health benefits surprisingly
large.
COFFEE; MEDICINE AND HEALTH; RESEARCH
I agree.

Children growing up in some places go on to earn more than they would if they had grown up elsewhere.

The move is a major victory for Shell, but environmentalists say a possible accident there could have far-reaching consequences.

The N.F.L. also fined the Patriots $1 million and took away two
draft picks because of their use of deflated footballs in the A.F.C.
championship game.

A trivial distraction.

A mass grave, thought to be part of a hospital cemetery, bears
witness to the lives of ordinary Parisians during the Middle Ages.
ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY; MIDDLE AGES (HISTORICAL PERIOD); CEMETERIES
No light as yet. Wait for the scholarly articles.

Opinion

The plot against financial reform continues, despite the fact that one important measure is actually working.
DODD-FRANK WALL STREET REFORM AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (2010);
BANKING AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS; REGULATION AND DEREGULATION OF
INDUSTRY; UNITED STATES ECONOMY
The efforts of the undead continue.
"Does this mean that all is well on the financial front? Of course not.
Dodd-Frank is much better than nothing, but far from being all we need.
And the vampires are still lurking in their coffins, waiting to strike
again.
But things could be worse."

We used to be mentors and moral authorities. Now we just hand out A’s.

In many cases there is not much point in a professor at the present state of curricula.

The Upshot

One reason is that many former Christians, of all ages, have joined the rapidly growing ranks of the religiously unaffiliated.
RELIGION AND BELIEF; POLLS AND PUBLIC OPINION
I think it a good thing.
I note that the change in college attendance has a similar curve.

A beguilingly anonymous Twitter author with the mug shot of an

The biochemist at the University of California, Berkeley, helped
make a monumental discovery: a relatively simple way to alter any
organism’s DNA. But she is stuck in a patent fight over it.
GENETIC ENGINEERING; GENETICS AND HEREDITY
Form a patent pool and get the work done.
Let Grants Management fight about the split.

Picasso’s 1955 painting “Les Femmes d’Alger (Version ‘O’) (Women
of Algiers)” sold for nearly $180 million, and Giacometti’s gaunt bronze
sculpture “L’homme au doigt (Pointing Man)” went for $141 million.
ART; AUCTIONS; SCULPTURE
I will have to give Picasso more attention.

An investigation into the crash that killed Lt. Nathan Poloski
assigned no blame but concluded that it might have been prevented by
more “situational awareness.”
