  At Augustana we take seriously Emerson's idea that colleges, at their best, "set the hearts of their youth on flame."
  A familiar place that Emerson shows up in reference to education: quotable, inpirational. The problem, as ever, he remains a quotation. But how does this college, in its hiring, in its curriculum, in its English department, take Emerson seriously? What would that, serious taking, entail--given Emerson's concern, say, for the problem of books?

  Barack Obama’s presidency marks a triumph over the legacy of slavery, so it would be particularly meaningful if he led a new abolitionist movement against 21st-century slavery — like the trafficking of girls into brothels.
  It's good to see that Kristof continues to bring attention to the issue of trafficking girls into brothels. He is reframing the conversation with
  the language of "abolitionism," and bringing the term to the mainstream public.

  When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed.

  Of course, officials quickly labeled the shooting "accidental." Just as the drunk driver feels it is just an accident when his car happens to go up a curb and crush the life from a child, teams of men armed with loaded weapons who break into children's homes feel it is just an accident when a shotgun happens to go off and rip a child's body to shreds.
  Let his death not be in vain.

  Just one of many such recent reports. The mid-90s were insane; back to . . . hard work, patience, slogging it out.

  This lack of profitable "exits" for investors has come just as venture capital groups were hoping finally to recover from the dotcom hangover - since many of the companies funded at the peak of the boom are now mature enough to be sold or floated publicly.
  The halcyon days are over.
