The Dangers of Pseudoscience - NYTimes.com
The borderlines between genuine science and pseudoscience may be
fuzzy, but this should be even more of a call for careful
distinctions, based on systematic facts and sound reasoning. To try a
modicum of turtle blood here and a little aspirin there is not the
hallmark of wisdom and even-mindedness. It is a dangerous gateway to
superstition and irrationality.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review (2013) | The Verge
Last year's $119 Kindle Paperwhite was the best ebook reader ever
made, the default choice, the one I recommend to everyone without a
second's thought — and 12 months later it still is. There isn't even
viable competition at this point.

Homeowner Legal Options Against HOA | The Bainbridge Law Firm, L.L.C. | Scottsdale Arizona
Arizona law places certain restrictions on HOAs, regardless of the powers given to the HOA in the community documents. Below is a list of some common restrictions on HOA power. If the following principles are not followed, an HOA decision could be invalidated.
- Board members must act as fiduciaries to the association, meaning all board members must put the interests of the community ahead of their own personal interests when acting on behalf of the HOA.
- If any HOA action could financially benefit a board member or that board member's immediate family, the board member must state this conflict at an open meeting before voting on the issue.
- HOAs must act reasonably and treat members fairly. An HOA may not carry out its duties in a manner that is arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. In other words, community rules must be reasonably enforced.
- HOAs may not selectively enforce community rules against particular homeowners. HOA rules must be enforced as equally as possible.

Paula Deen's Ugly Roots : The New Yorker
The controversy stems from a suit brought by a former employee, who claims, among other things, that Deen presided over a culture of racial and sexual impropriety, particularly at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House, the Savannah restaurant Deen set up for her brother, Bubba Hiers: pornography in the workplace, racial insults, nostalgia for the antebellum South. (In planning Bubba's wedding, the employee asserts in the complaint, Deen allegedly said, "I want a true southern plantation-style wedding.… Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n-----s to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around.") In other words, we now have "Kitchen Confidential: Georgia Edition," with an inverted power structure and markedly un-Vassar politics.
