2007-10-23 15:31  Befinner vi oss i 30-årene
Man skal være forsikig med historiske analogier, men noen ganger er det som jeg føler vi lever i 20-30-årene. Denne gang heter fascismens sentrum Iran, sa Tony Blair under en større tale i New York før helgen. Blair kan være meget tydelig og klar i sin analyse. Det var han denne gang når det gjelder Irans rolle. Han sa også at USA og Europa er på vikende front og ikke helt forstår trusselen. In his first major speech since leaving office, Mr Blair said that Iran was prepared to destabilise peace …

2007-10-18 10:45  PC Education: Lost in Space
A liberal Yale professor takes a critical look at his cohort's handiwork. Politically-correct, multicultural education, like a lost spacecraft drifting forever in space with no destination and no way to return home, has lost contact with real life. It has become a caricature of science, a bastardized version that Friedrich Hayek called scientism. Jacob Laksin's review on the City Journal website of Yale professor Anthony Kronman's Education's End: Why Our Colleges and Universities Have Given Up …

2007-10-18 07:57  New York is schizophrenic on higher ed and welfare
Starting in 2009, local college enrollment will start to decrease, a function of fewer children being born in the last generation or so. As Annie Karni writes in the New York Sun, "We're beyond the baby boom, we're beyond the baby bust, and now we have the baby bust echo effect," the director of Cornell University's program on applied demographics, Warren Brown, said. If colleges don't begin recruiting students from new markets, they can expect a 10% decline in the number of applications they re …

2007-10-06 13:37  Team Forms to Analyze City Schools
By JENNIFER MEDINA For years, education experts have dreamed of a group that would gather reams of data on New York City s public schools, analyzing the numbers to figure out what works, and what does not, in schools. Now, after years of major changes to the system under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, a group of academics has formed the Research Partnership for New York City Schools to do just that kind of analysis. The partnership includes social scientists from New York University, Columbia Unive …

In September, a 13-year-old carriage horse died after she was spooked and bolted onto a sidewalk near New York City's Central Park. Readers grieved the mare's death and criticized having the horse-drawn carriages in such a heavily congested area. Among the comments we received: Horse-drawn carriages are big in Chicago too, unfortunately. It boggles my mind that anyone can enjoy a ride in one of these. There's nothing quaint about it: constant honking, cars zooming by, people everywhere on the st …

Finally, there may be some good news for Boston bikers (or bicyclists, to remove any confusion). The Bicycling magazine has been ranking Boston as the least bicycle friendly city in the US for a while citing its "lousy roads, scarce and unconnected bike lanes, and bike-friendly gestures from city hall that go nowhere." Though MassBike disagrees (scroll down to MassBike responds to Bicycling Magazine ). I have been biking in the Boston area for almost 10 years now, and I do think that Bicycling m …

Cindy Sheehan is running for Congress. She's running in my district and you know she's got my vote. It would be wonderful to finally have a House representative who represents the area in Congress. Nancy Pelosi hasn't represented the eighth district in some time. She started off -- when she thought she needed the voters -- being a strong voice for reproductive rights, for LBGT rights, for any number of issues that matter in our area. These days, it's like we have a Republican representing us. Se …

It was back to school time in New York City yesterday.

The strike has been organized by the New York Taxi Workers' Alliance and its executive director, Bhairavi Desai.

I don't know about you, but there's just something about hearing "sunny skies" coupled with "at least two people are dead from the shooting" that gets me all set to go at 7am.

The bomb went off at about 1:10 a.m. on a sidewalk in front of Studio Dante, a theater at 257 West 29th St. owned by a former Soprano's actor, Michael Imperioli.

What was striking about David Broder's valentine to a third-party ticket of Michael Bloomberg and Chuck Hagel yesterday wasn't its sloppy equivalence between the parties, utter lack of any kind of policy rationale, or childish belief that a Bloomberg-Hagel run might really be in the offing. (Can't wait until we "find out.") No, what was striking was the extent to which he basically admitted that he knew his whole thesis was a joke: Bloomberg is, on the face of it, an implausible alternative. A l …

Leave it to No Child Left Behind to further frustrate the path to actually helping and protecting students. As required under NCLB, a list of twenty-seven "persistently dangerous schools" was recently released by the New York State Board of Regents. Twenty-five of those scarlet letter schools are in New York City, a jump of 11 city schools from last year. However, list is actually an insidious diversion--one that says little about the real safety of schools, and actually encourages administrator …

A year ago, six auto repair shops packed the corner of Broadway and 131st Street, in West Harlem s dingy industrial zone. The bulky, five-story building employed about 45 people, mostly black and Latino residents of the area, who spent their days servicing cars that rolled in from homes on the West Side. At the end of July, both workers and property owners were emptied out of their shops. Not long after buying 3251 Broadway last year, Columbia University informed the tenants that they would have …
