...Ditto the Katie Couric interview--which Palin, to her credit, admits was a bust. (Note to future candidates: never assume a network-news interview will be "lighthearted" and "fun.") But it turns out your impressions of her from Couric are probably mistaken too. Did it seem that, when Couric asked what newspapers and magazines she read, Palin filibustered, unable to think up a single title? Wrong! What the untrained eye saw as flop sweat was actually annoyance at Couric's condescension, says Palin; also, she was edited to look bad. (Palin has a way of making edited sound sinister...

If I worked at one of the 106 nongiant banks that the government has allowed to fail this year, throwing thousands of people out of work, I'd be furious at the government for saving the big insolvent outfits but not mine...
...fixed in advance. Salaries are pegged so that they stay within 80% of the national average, but up to 20% of income is based on teams' achieving performance goals.

In the case of global warming, we haven't yet felt the full effects, Rockstrom says, because carbon acts gradually on the climate - but once warming starts, it may prove hard to stop unless we reduce emissions sharply. Ditto for the nitrogen cycle, where industrialized agriculture already has humanity pouring more chemicals into the land and oceans than the planet can process, and for wildlife loss, where we risk biological collapse. "We can say with some confidence that Earth cannot sustain the current rate of loss without significant erosion...
Grammy-winning producer and DJ Mark Ronson has an ear for music, and he also has an eye for fashion. Once an avid shoe collector, he now joins a number of style-savvy musicians, including Kanye West and Beth Ditto of the Gossip, who have channeled their love of designer labels into their own designer products. Ronson teamed up with Gucci creative director Frida Giannini to design a series of limited-edition shoes to coincide with the launch of Gucci Icon-Temporary, a traveling pop-up sneaker store that will make its first stop in New York City next month...
