  1. Sleep-Deprived Judges Dole Out Harsh\u00ader Pun\u00adish\u00adments<\/span><\/a> (Chris Barnes, Har\u00advard Busi\u00adness Review): this is clever. The author turned day\u00adlight sav\u00adings time into a nat\u00adur\u00adal exper\u00adi\u00adment and ana\u00adlyzed the effects of mild sleep depri\u00adva\u00adtion on judge\u2019s deci\u00adsions. After los\u00ading 40 min\u00adutes of sleep the judges appar\u00adent\u00adly became 5% harsh\u00ader in their ver\u00addicts. Apply to your own sleep debt and moral conun\u00addrums. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Hottest Invite In Town: Don\u00adald Trump\u2019s Sup\u00adper Club<\/span><\/a> (Sara Mur\u00adray, CNN): \u201c<\/span>Long after the Pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adt\u2019s offi\u00adcial day has end\u00aded, his worka\u00adholic ten\u00adden\u00adcies have him host\u00ading a rotat\u00ading sup\u00adper club at the most cov\u00adet\u00aded address in Wash\u00ading\u00adton. At least four nights a week, he wel\u00adcomes a steady stream of Cab\u00adi\u00adnet mem\u00adbers, staffers and mem\u00adbers of Con\u00adgress to the res\u00adi\u00addence to brush up on nation\u00adal secu\u00adri\u00adty issues and for\u00adeign affairs over steak, fish and sal\u00adads, accord\u00ading to Trump aides.<\/span>\u201d This is sur\u00adpris\u00ading\u00adly infor\u00adma\u00adtive.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Watch\u00ading Wikipedi\u00ada\u2019s extinc\u00adtion event from a dis\u00adtance<\/span><\/a> (Andrea James, Boing Boing): \u201cWikipedia went from peo\u00adple writ\u00ading an ency\u00adclo\u00adpe\u00addia to peo\u00adple writ\u00ading rules about writ\u00ading an ency\u00adclo\u00adpe\u00addia\u2026\u201d I can attest to the ten\u00adden\u00adcy the author describes and am gen\u00aduine\u00adly wor\u00adried about Wikipedia\u2019s tra\u00adjec\u00adto\u00adry.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Soul Of Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adism: What Will Become Of Us?<\/span><\/a> (Scot McK\u00adnight): \u201c<\/span>Let\u2019s get the stan\u00addard def\u00adi\u00adn\u00adi\u00adtion of evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adism on the table first: an evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal is com\u00admit\u00adted to these four ele\u00adments: the Bible, the cross as the place of atone\u00adment, the neces\u00adsi\u00adty of per\u00adson\u00adal con\u00adver\u00adsion, and an active Chris\u00adt\u00adian life both in missions\/evangelism as well as jus\u00adtice, peace and rec\u00adon\u00adcil\u00adi\u00ada\u00adtion. On top of this, evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adism is non-denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal and cross-denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The Great Shame Of Our Pro\u00adfes\u00adsion: How The Human\u00adi\u00adties Sur\u00advive on Exploita\u00adtion<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Kevin Birm\u00ading\u00adham , The Chron\u00adi\u00adcle of High\u00ader Edu\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span>): it doesn\u2019t get good until para\u00adgraph six (search for the word \u2018remiss\u2019 and begin there). \u201c<\/span>If his\u00adto\u00adry is any guide, there will be about nine times as many new Ph.D.s this year as there are jobs\u2026. Why do our nation\u2019s Eng\u00adlish depart\u00adments con\u00adsis\u00adtent\u00adly accept sev\u00ader\u00adal times as many grad\u00adu\u00adate stu\u00addents as their bespoke job mar\u00adket can sus\u00adtain? Eng\u00adlish depart\u00adments are the only employ\u00aders demand\u00ading the cre\u00adden\u00adtials that Eng\u00adlish doc\u00adtor\u00adal pro\u00adgrams pro\u00adduce.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. An Ivy League pro\u00adfes\u00adsor who spent 4 months work\u00ading in a South Bronx check-cash\u00ading store says we\u2019re get\u00adting it all wrong<\/span><\/a> (Alex Mor\u00adrell, Busi\u00adness Insid\u00ader): \u201c<\/span>Over and over again, Ser\u00advon heard and observed that check cash\u00aders met cus\u00adtomers\u2019 needs bet\u00adter than banks did. She dis\u00adcov\u00adered there were three main rea\u00adsons peo\u00adple used these ser\u00advices instead of banks: cost, trans\u00adparen\u00adcy, and ser\u00advice.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
