...stimulus package has to begin to pay off. As its earliest investments go into helping states and municipalities keep their employees, cuts in place like California have to level off. As money goes into building the energy grid and broadband makes it into the system, job creation in those sectors has to measurably increase...
...says. That sense of communal competition is shared by Denmark's Scandinavian neighbors, and may help explain why countries like Sweden and Finland are also among Europe's greenest. On a regional level, cooperation is a necessary component of Denmark's success - the Nordic nations share an electrical grid, and Denmark can take power from its neighbors when there's no wind and sell it when the breeze blows. But it also has something to do with the way people in the region think. "This is a place where people are highly motivated to address climate change," says Annie Petsonk...
...During the interview, Mankiw proposed that lower taxes, rather than paying for infrastructure development, would be better for the economy.

Infrastructure development creates real long-term wealth, not just higher stock prices based on complex unregulated security transactions...
...series of photographs of the John Hancock Tower, taken from the MIT Boathouse, are merely flat, frontal views of the building. The pictures present the same, grid-like, glass-windowed Tower; the only noticeable difference is that they are taken with different lighting.

Otherwise, the intent behind the series is ambiguous, as it seems only to depict a superficially beautiful image of a skyscraper. Such a representation of the Hancock Tower...
Some Auto-Tuning is almost unavoidable. Most contemporary music is composed on Pro Tools, a program that lets musicians and engineers record into a computer and map out songs on a visual grid. You can cut at one point on the grid and paste at another, just as in word-processing, but making sure the cuts match up requires the even pitch that Auto-Tune provides. "It usually ends up just like plastic surgery," says a Grammy-winning recording engineer. "You haul out Auto-Tune to make one thing better, but then it's very hard to resist the temptation...
