“Step one in the New Way Forward approach: nationalize the banks. Follow that up with replacing CEOs and wiping out bonuses. Then wrap things up with breaking up banks into more manageable — and more regulable — parts.”

“The Hill reviewed hundreds of member pages, as did outside watchdog groups, after the Friday (later extended to Saturday) deadline to determine which members who appeared to comply with the letter of the law went the furthest to meet — or, conversely, to avoid — its intent.”

‘Designed by Zaha Hadid of London (her pavilion design, above) and Ben van Berkel of Amsterdam (his pavilion design, below), the privately-funded pavilions will be the focal point of the region’s celebration of the 1909 Plan of Chicago, also known as the Burnham Plan. But befitting these tough economic times, they offer bling on a budget.

‘Each will cost about $500,000, plus donated materials–spare charge compared to The Bean’s $23 million tab.

‘“It’s like Vera Wang doing Kohl’s clothing,” said Joseph Rosa, the Art Institute of Chicago curator who worked with the architects.’

“The rise and now dominance of this emotional approach to morality is an epochal change. It challenges all sorts of traditions. It challenges the bookish way philosophy is conceived by most people.”

“So there are clear benefits for both the service (low cost of entry, potentially easy profit) and the linker (the quick rush of popularity). But URL shorteners are bad for the rest of us.”

‘”I know the guy who started it, and I’m going to talk to him about shutting it down the next time I see him,” Sohn said. When I spoke to Westlund today, he knew the conversation was coming. “It went from us having 30 dogs to it ramping up to where we might be too much of a burden on Doug,” he said. “We’ve been refining the process, and it may refined into powder,” and acknowledged that it probably would have been a good idea to run the idea past Sohn before building the business beyond a few friends. Westlund hoped to meet with Sohn today to discuss how the Drop might team up with the restaurant to keep it going.’

“Hard to read it as anything but a rebuke from the news team to Post editor Fred Hiatt and his editorial page’s “multi-layer editing process,” which allowed Will to lie and mislead on climate change three times just in the last few months, even after being corrected, publicly, by multiple sources.”

‘Ms Roberts told The Mirror: “Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head.”‘

“As Lori Healy and Ron Huberman of the Chicago 2016 Bid Committee silently observed, No Games Chicago discussed the poor economic situation Chicago is in as potential host city, with astronomical budget deficits on the city and state levels (facts below). In addition, the notorious and publicly embarrassing corruption at various levels of Chicago and Illinois politics were discussed, as well as the long history of the mismanagement and cost overruns related to mega-construction projects, including Millenium Park, the Block 37 “super-station,” the CHA Plan for Transformation, Soldier Field, and more. No Games concluded their presentation by urging the IOC to read and consider Chicago Reader journalist Ben Joravsky’s An Open Letter to the IOC. “

In-depth discussion of message queuing systems and systems architecture, with Twitter representatives speaking up in the comments thread.

“The above section can stand alone as a business concept. However, where it gets interesting to people like me is in how you take these village billboards and create a powerful melding of the offline and online/mobile worlds that is our present day Africa. This is where the insights and experiences of a rurally raised Kenyan, living in the city and taking part in technology discussions is irreplaceable.”

“Ann Compton, Chuck Todd, Ed Henry–the ineptitude of the corp at last night’s presser was maddening and Obama’s deft and intelligent handling of the event made participating journalists look even more deficient in comparison. Sweet fancy Moses! Having a smartypants president sure highlights the failures of the modern Fourth Estate.”

“You blew it.

“And now you’re angry. Well, gentlemen – and that’s pretty much all I see before me: angry, old, white men – you have no right to anger. Instead, you are the proper objects of anger. The public should be angry with you for the poor stewardship you have exercised over the press and its service to society. Your journalists are angry at you for losing their jobs. Your pressmen and drivers and classified-ad takers are angry at you for the same reason (and at the journalists for paying attention only to their own plight). Your advertisers were angry at you for using your monopolistic power to overcharge them and for providing inefficient platforms and bad service for so long. But they’re not angry anymore because they left you for better advertising vehicles and better prices in a competitive marketplace.”

“Galbi, paejon, soju, naeng myun, kalguksu, saengyupsul, mandoo, kim bop, bulgogi, kimchi…. Korean food is hands down the best in the world. Here’s the top spots in the city (and a couple on the coasts!)”

‘Warren says in the video: “I hope you’re thinking about your vote. One of the propositions I want to mention is Proposition 8, the proposition that had to be instituted because the courts threw out the will of the people… Now let me just say this really clearly: We support Proposition 8 and if you believe what the Bible says about marriage, you need to support Proposition 8. I never support a candidate, but on moral issues, I come out very clear.”‘

“2. Genetic engineering. The other science that received its name from a science fiction story, in this case Jack Williamson’s novel Dragon’s Island, which was coincidentally published in the same year as “Liar!” The occupation of genetic engineer took a few more years to be named, this time by Poul Anderson.”

“They remind me of the old days, when alternative newspapers were the ones offering a glimpse at the media future — or anyway one possible future. These are interesting if terrifying times in the newspaper business, with new and reinvented enterprises transforming the media landscape far more radically than the alternative press did 35 years ago. How tomorrow’s journalism will differ from the stuff I grew up with is still being worked out. But here’s one difference I can see already: you — and I mean you the gentle reader, Randy — will have to write most of it yourself.”

“As we rebuild our economy, I do hope we keep in mind the value of openness, especially in industries that have rarely had it.
