How About if The Person You Have to 'Lean On' Doesn't Have a Job That is Fungible ?
How can you 'lean in' when you don’t have someone to lean on?
There are two main lines of criticism. The first is that Sandberg unfairly blames women when she argues that they need to change the way they behave in the workplace to better position themselves for leadership roles. The second is that her advice applies only to an elite circle of women.
Although she says that she is writing “for any woman who wants to increase her chances of making it to the top,” she acknowledges that “the vast majority of women are struggling to make ends meet” and offers the caveat that “parts of this book will be most relevant to women fortunate enough to have choices about how much and when and where to work.”

Studies show that about 30 percent of the cost increases in higher education over the past twenty-five years have been the result of administrative growth
Massive Open Online Administrations!
MOOAs!
"Ginsberg noted. He suggested that MOOA can reverse this spending growth. "Currently, hundreds, even thousands, of vice provosts and assistant deans attend the same meetings and undertake the same activities on campuses around the U.S. every day," he said. "Imagine the cost savings if one vice provost could make these decisions for hundreds of campuses." http://www.mindingthecampus.com/originals/2013/06/forget_moocslets_use_mooa.html#sthash.owxG8gpK.dpuf

At the college level, the United States spends lavishly, far more than any other country .
"The children of the wealthiest 10 percent or so do receive some of the best education in the world, and the quality keeps getting better. For most everyone else, this is not the case. America’s average standing in global education rankings has tumbled not because everyone is falling, but because of the country’s deep, still-widening achievement gap between socioeconomic groups.

Are these patents a description of what we might see with Author Rank?
They do describe an "authority signature value" influenced by content that you're a creator of, and how pages might be ranked based upon topical authority.
They also answer the question about how authority might be used when there is more than one author.

Teaching is Important in the Humanities? Let me Get My Smelling Salts!
+Phil Hill Maybe my bringing up Allan Bloom is timely! ;')
"Higher education should reassert the importance of teaching, systematically undervalued by institutions defined by research. A consistent revalorization of teaching should also have profound—and to my mind, salutary—ramifications beyond undergraduate education. It should make us consider graduate-student training, faculty hiring, and the criteria used for promotion."
"If the humanities are to pursue goals such as strengthening students’ language skills, enhancing their analytic capacities, and deepening their ability to understand, then the quality of the teaching enterprise has to be reconceived in terms of strategies for student learning, rather than exclusively with regard to the coverage of works and themes.... more »

Teens Leaving Facebook for . . . Tumblr!
Reminds me of going to the public school dances instead of the (very parent heavy) Catholic school dances. Teens are still teens I'm glad to learn. ;')
"Teens are not 'logging off' of Facebook, fleeing for the new and more popular interactive platform, but rather, actively constructing a sophisticated interactive ecology. Here, teens utilize platforms to fit varied interactive needs: privacy, connectivity, humor, support, information sharing, romantic exploration. ... Within this ecology, in which multiple spaces maintain varying degrees of integration with one another, teens navigate the complexities of social life, decoupling pieces of the self through technologically mediated means, negotiating holistic selves which none-the-less maintain multiple dimensions."

Under the, 'I Thought I'd Heard Everything' Department: Tea Partiers Think That Bike Sharing is a Totalitarian Plot
[From The Atlantic]: "Conor Friedersdorf assesses the arguments of The Wall Street Journal's Dorothy Rabinowitz, who was seen attacking New York's new Citibike bike-sharing program as a tyrannical regime "begriming" the city's neighborhoods, by noting her place in a larger, mostly coastal trend. "Their preference for road use loses out to the preferences of other Angelenos with different wants," he writes, referring to a pair of popular Los Angeles radio hosts. "That's politics. No one lives in a major city and gets their way all the time." At the Village Voice, Sydney Brownstone identifies an even larger, stranger trend: "Rabinowitz isn't the only person to argue that environmental initiatives like ... more »

Why Is the Pentagon Letting the Military Investigate its Own Rape Crimes ?
Why does the Department of Defense trust its own officers to investigate sexual crimes within the military? "Sexual assault crimes are among the most difficult to prosecute, which makes it doubly absurd to have anyone other than professional prosecutors decide whether to pursue these crimes," says Invisible War director Kirby Dick.
"We wouldn’t tolerate a senior commander’s operating a helicopter unless he or she was fully trained to do so. Similarly, we should not allow commanders, who are not trained as prosecutors, to make final determinations as to whether the military should adjudicate sexual assault crimes. Our military readiness will be compromised unless the military quickly begins to bring sex predators in its ranks to justice."

They're Coming for Your DNA
I remember being fingerprinted as a Girl Scout in the FBI building in Washington, DC (my home town). In a short story I wrote much later, it was a former Girl Scout who turned out to be the villain, discovered quickly through her fingerprints.
Judge Scalia, at least, has some idea of how incredibly complex and surely expensive that the Court has now made the world of American policing, “The Court’s assertion that DNA is being taken, not to solve crimes, but to identify those in the State’s custody, taxes the credulity of the credulous,” he writes. Then he decimates Kennedy’s discussion of booking and bail with a few obvious and unchallenged facts: It took weeks to test the DNA of Alonzo King, the arrested man who challenged Maryland’s DNA collection law, and months for the samples to come back from testing. By then, booking, arraignment... more »

Turkish Demonstrations May NOT Be a Portend of Things to Come
I've spent some time in Turkey and one thing I can say with confidence is that most people will not want to have anything to do with a religious political regime.
From the time of the wisdom of Attaturk, the appreciation of a civic regime has been instilled in the Turkish people. My guess is this is just a demonstration, not the beginning of things to come.
"Taksim Square has been symbolic of Turkey’s Western aspirations: it is the centre of the European section of the city, adorned with a monument to the founders of the Republic where official ceremonies are held and officials lay wreaths. Trade unions and leftist organisations want to celebrate May Day there but the authorities have denied them the privilege more often than not. In truth, the symbolic value of Taksim far exceeds its aesthetic r... more »

Lookin' Back
I'm roaming around older pieces and wondering what did people say, and was it correct?
This article is about Android from 2011.
"This is the part that amazes me the most. I don’t know if a large organized industry has ever faced this fierce a form of competition – someone who is not trying to “win” in the classic sense. They want market share, but they don’t need economics. Imagine if Ford were faced with GM paying people to take Chevrolets? How many would they be able to sell? What if you received $0.10 for every free Pepsi you consumed? Would you still pay $1.50 for a Coke?"

“Children from wealthy families with lots of education can be taught by stupid teachers,” Louhivuori said, smiling. “We try to catch the weak students. It’s deep in our thinking.”
Educators had little idea it was so successful until 2000, when the first results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a standardized test given to 15-year-olds in more than 40 global venues, revealed Finnish youth to be the best young readers in the world. Three years later, they led in math. By 2006, Finland was first out of 57 countries (and a few cities) in science.
There are no mandated standardized tests in Finland, apart from one exam at the end of students’ senior year in high school. There are no rankings, no comparisons or competition ... more »

How brave Children walk to School around the World
It is easy to believe that we have it hard when the alarm rings for work or school early in the morning each day. But as these pictures show, it's worth a lot to have a normal and safe way to our daily activities...
Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision says: "Every day, around the world, we're seeing the power of education to transform communities. For instance, girls who spend seven years in school marry on average four years later and have 2.2 fewer children. An extra year of primary school boosts girls’ eventual wages by 10 to 20 per cent. An extra year of secondary school boosts wages by 15 to 25 per cent. Every time these children make such journeys to school, they don't benefit just themselves, but their entire communities." → goo.gl/3z93R
