Celeste Abou Negm and Dvir Kafri: Entanglements, Quantum and Otherwise

His opening lines were about physics, and that suited his future bride just fine.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

The bride, a math teacher, and the groom, a public relations manager for a winery, met on Match.com.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

A Funeral for a Fire Chief, 15 Years After He Died on 9/11

Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack perished on Sept. 11, 2001; no trace of him has ever been found. He will finally have a funeral Mass on Friday.

Religious wars are always counterproductive.
Lets not try it again.

Michelle Rozan, Ross Anderson

The couple met at Lure Fishbar in New York.

Opinion

Making Poor People Pay for Their Court Costs

The Vera Institute of Justice writes that such practices lead to “an ever-growing system and ultimately greater net costs.”

The Vera Institute has a measurable example in New Orleans.
A comparison to a publicly supported system would be convincing.

The Upshot

Why You Should Exercise (No, Not to Lose Weight)

If the effects of exercise could be put in a pill and prescribed, it would be rightly hailed as a wonder drug. So get off the couch.

Enough physical activity seems inevitable.

Christo’s Newest Project: Walking on Water

For 16 days, “The Floating Piers,” a saffron-colored walkway, will connect two small islands in a lake in Northern Italy to the mainland.

Spectacle is not a goal for me.


Your Money

Fur Flies in Doggy Door Dispute

A woman says she has been trying for more than a year to get a refund for a damaged pet door.

U.P.S. has a problem.

A Creamy, Sweet Tribute to Summer

This version of Sicilian cassata, a spongecake layered with sweetened ricotta, is crowned with juicy fresh berries.

I will take the thought for the deed.

Homes for Sale in Brooklyn and Manhattan

This week’s properties are in the West Village, the Gramercy area and Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

We must discuss where and how big and who.

Kenneth Walton, F.B.I.’s Bold New York Face in the ’80s, Dies at 76

Mr. Walton, who mixed the flair of a central-casting G-man with the nerve to defy rigid protocol, was the bureau’s public face in cases involving a Tylenol poisoning scare and a Brink’s truck robbery.

Mr. Walton did not abuse the agency's charter.

I must run to Pratt.  Back late.

Books

Giselle Potter’s ‘This Is My Dollhouse,’ and More

New books show how everyday materials and a bit of imagination transport children to fantastic realms.

A model life.
"You can tell the men from the boys by the cost of their toys."

Telling adults from children does not rhyme.

Alison Lytton and Steven Yeung: Putting a Lunch Break to Good Use

The couple met in May 2014 after he signed up for Tinder during a lunchtime break at work when a couple of friends told him about it.

Gene Cavallero Jr., Who Ran the Colony Restaurant, Dies at 92

The Colony occupied a lofty perch in New York City’s dining scene, becoming a destination for boldface names like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Frank Sinatra.

Retireing at 48.
Education failed him.

Dancing With Defiance in Orlando, but Gay Clubs and Bars Feel ‘Eerie’

On Friday night, clubgoers did not come in their usual numbers and many of those who did turned out with a newfound wariness.

People are coming out of shock.   Give them a few weeks.

Opinion

‘I’m Sorry, No More Ducks’

We rejoice at the miracles of our child’s earliest years, but then there is the sadness that they will never happen again.

Grand children.
Make do with distant relatives.

As Wind Power Lifts Wyoming’s Fortunes, Coal Miners Are Left in the Dust

New climate change regulations are helping transform the country’s biggest coal-producing state into what could be its largest wind energy producer.

Miners and mining companies have no right to profit.
The nation can train them, move them or retire them.

The extraction of fossil carbon must end.

Brooklyn Residents Seek Answers After Man With History of Mental Illness Is Killed

Andre Lane, 26, who was fatally shot, was beaten by guards at the jail complex in 2012 and was struggling to turn around a troubled life.

" He had schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder."

A flash of temper is enough to get one killed.

Brooklyn’s Private Jewish Patrols Wield Power. Some Call Them Bullies.

The shomrim, unarmed Hasidic police auxiliaries, have stopped crimes, but they have occasionally been accused of taking the law into their own hands.

An adult gang.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/21/nyregion/nypd-arrests.html

"Mr. Reichberg and Mr. Rechnitz do not appear to have had any official affiliation to the Police Department, although Mr. Reichberg, a member of the large Orthodox Jewish community in Borough Park, would often describe himself as a “community liaison” to the department. He even had business cards identifying him as such, prosecutors said.
But what the men lacked in official status, they made up for with regular gifts and frequent social calls that afforded them a remarkable level of influence inside the department, prosecutors said."
"Sergeant Villanueva was charged in a separate but related scheme that involved aiding applicants for firearms licenses, the court papers said. In that scheme, bribes — as much as $18,000 per gun license — factored into 100 to 150 gun licenses in recent years, according to the papers."
