Por vs. Para Updated April 07, 2016. How do you say "for" in Spanish? Simple question, huh? Not really. In fact, understanding the answer to that seemingly simple question is one of the more difficult problems facing many Spanish-language students. The problem is that two Spanish prepositions, por and para, frequently are used for the English word "for." The Dropout Economy - 10 Ideas for the Next 10 Years Middle-class kids are taught from an early age that they should work hard and finish school. Yet 3 out of 10 students dropped out of high school as recently as 2006, and less than a third of young people have finished college. Many economists attribute the sluggish wage growth in the U.S. to educational stagnation, which is one reason politicians of every stripe call for doubling or tripling the number of college graduates. But what if the millions of so-called dropouts are onto something? As conventional high schools and colleges prepare the next generation for jobs that won't exist, we're on the cusp of a dropout revolution, one that will spark an era of experimentation in new ways to learn and new ways to live.
National Debt Graph by President The best odds on the presidential election come from the betting markets and can be found here. In 1981, the supply-siders commandeered the Reagan Presidency and employed their Voodoo economics, as Bush senior had called it in 1980.

RiP: A Remix Manifesto by Maria Popova Why you’re an outlaw just by reading this, or how the era we live in will change creative culture forever. It’s no secret we’re big proponents of remix culture around here — and strongly believe that the cross-pollination of ideas, the fundamental backbone of creativity, should be celebrated rather than hindered by copyright law. Which is why we love RiP: A Remix Manifesto, a documentary about copyright and remix culture. Filmmaker Brett Gaylor, of Opensource Cinema fame, digs deep into the flaws of copyright in the information age, exploring the ever-murkier line between content consumers and producers. 50 time-saving Google Docs templates Google Docs templates make life just that much easier by providing the bare skeleton of a specific document, spreadsheet or presentation – all you have to do is fill in the blank bits with your information.

I think it’s a trait we can all use more of and our culture finds in short supply. Acting like gentlemen builds our self-respect, makes our interactions with others more pleasant, and brings civility back to society.

Poke to the Future Deep, deep within the shadowed recesses of a Menlo Park conference room, Facebook executives are probably gazing into a crystal ball right this second and asking two questions of staggering importance to their livelihood: (1) How do we monetize without incurring any breaches of confidentiality or any of the lowered performance levels customarily connected to aging?
