Until you read it and realize that the court just pretty much agreed with the school board’s assessment that the girl is a real brat. Gawd, what a brat. Plus school rules are allowed to be pretty fascist. That’s what the precedent says.

Well this is sure to cause an uproar. In today’s ForbesWoman, author Jenna Goudreau posits that women who don’t flirt are ignoring “one of their greatest career assets”—a valuable strategic tool (if used effectively), she says, to climb up the corporate ladder.

Dana Gould on reality shows
“My wife loves reality shows, like Real Housewives of New Jersey or whatever it is. I cannot be in the room. It drives me insane. I had this realization one day. Ok, you’re watching people that are not actors in phony situations created by people that are not writers.

One in five (19%) teenagers who have a @Facebook account no longer visit Facebook or are using it less.

Andres is 100% correct. We constantly learn this...
"Stop Building Facebook's Brand" - I disagree
I disagree with this analysis pretty whole-heartedly. Facebook is, increasingly, a web infrastructure rather than a website.
While it’s limiting to hinge your web presence on facebook, it’s also a little foolhardy to hang out a shingle in the middle of nowhere on the web and hope that people come to where you are.
If you are trying to build your site user base for a specific end,...

The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical...
