Hanna Rosin | NYT | 30 August 2012 In Alabama men grew up learning "how to work hard, how to support a family, how to live a good life, how to have the American dream their way". But that structure, those jobs are disappearing. Women are the new breadwinners Comments Nanotechnology: Armed Resistance Leigh Phillips | Nature | 29 August 2012 "Why are radical environmental groups targeting nanotechnology? Is this field being confronted with the same sort of militant hostility that has dogged genetic-modification research and animal testing? And why Mexico?" Comments What Is Value? What Is Money? Cesar Hidalgo | Edge | 28 August 2012 "There is value that gets generated, and there's value that can be appropriated. And they're not the same thing." Traditional measures of value were actually measures of appropriation. But this is now changing Comments The Woman Who Needed to Be Upside-Down Louis Janera | Discover | 27 August 2012 Husband arrives in ER carrying wife upside-down. So long as she's the wrong way up she feels OK. Put her on her feet and she blacks out. She had a heart operation two days before. Challenge for doctor: What's the problem? Comments How Digital Mapping Is Mapping Us Oliver Burkeman | Guardian | 28 August 2012 Google and Apple have pretty much realised Borges's fantasy of a one-to-one map of the world. Thanks to which, they can see us everywhere. "There's a fine line between this being really useful, and being really creepy". Comments Hypnotising Chickens Paul Cullum | LA Review Of Books | 28 August 2012 Picaresque, trivia-packed essay on "Heart Of Glass", for which Herzog hypnotised his cast. "He was forced to adopt an artificial voice when giving instructions to the crew, lest the entire cast try to follow them automatically" Comments  FiveBooks Interview Emrys Westacott on Philosophy and Everyday Living Philosophy is sometimes assumed to be a dry, academic subject but, in reality, is anything but. A philosophy professor tells us how his subject is at least as much about how we live, love and relate to each other  Featured Special Report Democracy Are Western states true democracies?

Cheat Sheet - Mitt Flunked Public Speaking

Today: Romney Aides Cleared Eastwood Speech , Bashar al-Assad Lost The Support of Aleppo’s Wealthy When the Shelling Started , Romney Views Isaac Damage September 01, 2012 ORATORY 1. Mitt Flunked Public Speaking Accepting his party’s nomination, Mitt Romney only half-met his moment. Robert Shrum argues that the Republican candidate could have profited from the examples of George H.W. Bush and Al Gore, stiff speakers who still triumphed at their conventions. Read it at The Daily Beast MAKE MY DAY 2. Romney Aides Cleared Eastwood Speech After all the finger-pointing about Clint Eastwood's strange scolding of an empty chair at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, it seems there are finally some answers. After the actor endorsed Romney at a campaign event this summer, the presidential nominee invited him to speak on a bigger stage, leading to the strangest 12 minutes of the GOP’s week in Tampa. Although aides cleared the surprise appearance, no one vetted the speech, and attempts to cut the actor off before his impromptu berating of a piece of furniture were ignored. As for the chair, a senior aide could only say, "The prop person probably thought he was going to sit in it." Read it at New York Times END GAME 3. Aleppo’s Wealthy Turn on Assad Many affluent residents of the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo found life good under Bashar al-Assad’s regime. But the Daily Beast’s Mike Giglio reports that when the government began indiscriminately attacking rebels and residents alike, Assad’s support from Aleppo’s moneyed class began to evaporate. Read it at The Daily Beast OBSERVER 4. Romney Views Isaac Damage In a quick change of scenery, Mitt Romney spent the day after his acceptance of  the GOP’s nomination touring Louisiana to view Hurricane Isaac’s damage. Romney met with local residents who have been affected, along with Gov. Bobby Jindal. The visit drew some ire from Democrats, who say VP pick Paul Ryan blocked disaster-relief funds just last fall. “It is the height of hypocrisy for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to make a pretense of showing sympathy for the victims of Hurricane Isaac when their policies would leave those affected by this disaster stranded and on their own,’’ said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a statement. President Obama has canceled one appearance on his reelection campaign tour in order to visit the damaged region Monday. Read it at The Washington Post UP & UP 5. Stocks and Euro Rise After Bernanke Speech Amazing what a little talking can do! Federal Reserve Chaiman Ben Bernanke addressed a conferance on monetary policy on Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo., saying that the central bank would act as necessary to strengthen America’s economic recovery, leaving the door open for future monetary easing. Soon after, both European stocks and the euro began rising as signs emerged of a deal to manage the euro-zone crisis. On the American side, the dollar dropped to an eight-week low after Bernanke characterized high unemployment as a "grave concern," reinforcing expectations of more growth-encouraging stimulus.
