My friend called me up the other day and wanted to talk finances. Surprisingly, my friends don’t usually come to me for financial advice, it’s usually me offering it without being asked when I see a need. So, when they call me, I know they really need help. Anyway, she calls me up and says she needs to talk to me about her debt. She doesn’t know what she’s going to do. She’s got about ...

Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are investment instruments that are partially to blame for the mortgage crisis. What, you say you don't know what CDOs are or why they matter?

But not to worry, Marketplace Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch goes analog to simplify and visualize the problem at the whiteboard in a 6-minute presentation he calls Financial Crisis 101: CDOs explained. I should have ...

Every educational system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and in the bottom is arts. There isnt a educational institution on the planet which teaches dance everyday the way we teach mathematics..why ? Most educational systems were invented recently to meet the needs of industrial economy. They ignore the nature of individual talent and ability. While businesses are speeding up, we got educational systems that are still preparing kids to work in factories doing old fashioned work ,thats why kids have to show up on time because in factories if you dont show up on time in a assembly line you hold up the work of 10,000 other people , so you have to be on time, you march from class rooms to class rooms when the bell rings, you rote through your predictive work. Thats all the description of a yesterday's industrial societies and economy. The old system needed people to think in a conformist kind of way. Most educational systems confuse intelligence with academic ability. some subjects are more important than others because its intellectually more rigorous, its nonsense Education needs to be transformed, not reformed.

In the last decade, we’ve seen dozens of internet portals, software companies, and startups develop solutions solving the same problem: Everyone wants a webpage, but few people know how to actually make one. In the early days sites like Angelfire offered templates, but users were guaranteed a generic design that was ugly even by 1999’s standards. Since then we’ve made progress - modern WYSIWYG editors can produce high quality webpages within minutes, and affordable web ...
