TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.: Whitefish shortage causing Passover meal problems | Business | ADN.com:

BY JOHN FLESHER Associated PressApril 14, 2014

"TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. — A shortage of whitefish in the Great Lakes region resulting partly from the winter deep freeze is coming at an inconvenient time for Jewish families: the Passover holiday, when demand is high because it's a key ingredient in a traditional recipe." http://www.adn.com/2014/04/14/3425445/whitefish-shortage-causing-passover.html#emlnl=Morning_Newsletter

Harvard: That time the Linguistics Department accused female students at the Divinity School of pronoun envy.

Harvard: That time the Linguistics Department accused female students at the Divinity School of pronoun envy.: "By Mike Vuolo"is a phrase
coined by Cal Watkins of the Harvard Linguistics Department in November 1971

Above are the opening, very matter-of-fact lines of "Pronoun Envy," written by the poet and classicist Anne Carson and published February in the New Yorker. The poem unfolds briefly as a straightforward narrative—involving "female students" and male pronouns—before lifting off, as Carson put it to me, "as a sort of air balloon whose buoyancy depends on bits of 'meaningless plunging' that hold up the corners." Beneath the exquisite wordplay, though, and the compelling imagery and the meaningless plunging, a phrase borrowed from the poet Wallace Stevens, is a real story about language and gender.

In the fall of 1971, Linda Barufaldi, then a student in the master's program at Harvard Divinity School, enrolled in "Eschatology and Politics." The class, also known as "Church 174," was about the influence of religion and spirituality on liberation movements, fertile ground after a decade of protests, marches, and many an "-in" in the service of social change.

One of the history’s greatest military minds, Sun Tzu, has had a long history of influence over those who would carry out the plans of warfare for two-thousand years.

His writings compiled in The Art of War have withstood the test of time. They have even been used outside of arena of warfare in other strategic endeavors. Our military and civilian leaders should pay heed to his words... http://www.thewriteofcenter.com/2014/04/the-lessons-of-military-warfare-words.html

Government in dispute over $250,000 penny: "BY GAIL SULLIVAN

April 10 at 4:25 am

In 1973, the government gave away a handful of aluminum pennies now worth an estimated $250,000.
It wants them back.

This has put the government at odds with two California men were planning to auction off one of the pennies. Now, they are asking a judge to decide to whom the penny belongs.

Reply-all email chain fail: The email trick to help you avoid them.

Reply-all email chain fail: The email trick to help you avoid them.:

By Lowen Liu

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/09/reply_all_email_chain_fail_the_email_trick_to_help_you_avoid_them.html?wpisrc=newsletter_jcr:content&mc_cid=ca5b8b9593&mc_eid=b27361148d

"No storm leaves as long a swath of destruction in your email inbox as the endless reply-all chain, and this week a Category 5 has been tearing through the journo-verse: a PR notice (for Netflix’s new show Marco Polo—see it!) that made the fatal error of listing all recipients in the public CC field, rather than the private BCC field. What happened next will not surprise you:"

Or you could use this simple Gmail button:

As explained on Google support, the “mute” button will hide all future messages in the conversation—but not delete them, should you ever one day desire to confront the darkness you once avoided. Why Google gave such a powerful tool such a slight (though appropriate) name and tucked it under the “more” menu, I don’t know. But I know better than to question the gift... http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/09/reply_all_email_chain_fail_the_email_trick_to_help_you_avoid_them.html?wpisrc=newsletter_jcr:content&mc_cid=ca5b8b9593&mc_eid=b27361148d
