...literary remix of sorts. Once dubbed a "philosopher king of Internet law," he writes with a unique mix of legal expertise, historic facts and cultural curiosity, citing everything from turn-of-the-century Congressional testimony to Wikipedia to contemporary best-sellers like Chris Anderson's The Long Tail. The result is a wealth of interesting examples and theories on how and why digital technology and copyright law can promote professional and amateur art. As he sees it, reforming copyright law is the only way to salvage it: "We, as a society, can't kill this new form of creativity...
...were early supporters of Hitler's National Socialist party, Haider never held national office, preferring to work behind the scenes while keeping his post as governor of the mostly rural southern province of Carinthia. In 1999 he led the rightist Freedom Party to 27% of the national vote, a result that triggered outrage in Europe and, ultimately, sanctions from the E.U. In last month's elections, the far right had its best showing since World War II, with support from nearly 50% of Austrians under age 30--an outcome that ensures that Haider's divisive legacy will live...
...Somebody needs to remind Dartmouth that there is no draft in college football and tanking every game will not result in a No. 1 pick stud prospect that will ride into Hanover on a white horse and save a pitiful program.

At least Columbia looks like it’s trying...
...losing funding if they continue to fall short of these unreasonable standards. Worse, the law affects each state differently and punishes those with rigorous exams. In a nod to states’ rights, the law was written to allow each state to set its own testing standards. As a result, states with relatively easy proficiency tests, such as Wisconsin or Mississippi, had few schools that failed to meet testing standards. States that were hardest hit were those with difficult proficiency tests, like South Carolina, where 83 percent of schools failed to meet their targets. The sharp disparity provides further proof...
...Lower prices (and thus higher interest rates) for Fannie and Freddie bonds make it more expensive for the government mortgage guarantors to borrow, and that means that Fannie and Freddie have less money to purchase home loans. Which means a lower supply of capital available for mortgage issuers. The result is higher mortgage rates for the average American. The higher mortgage rates have left some people wondering just what the government can do next. "Just what would you do differently," says John Weicher, a director at the Hudson Institute and a former assistant security at the U.S. Department of Housing...
