18 iconic products that America doesn’t make anymore….c’mon America- you can do it!
The Rise of the Edupunk
In a bow to the "Edupunks," Sullivan explained that Virginia is incorporating student habits into its pedagogy. For example, the university is experimenting with "flash seminars." Just as "flash mobs" summon young people to engage in some simultaneous bizarre act in a specified place at a specified time, the "flash seminars" alert students to an edgy topic — no examples of how edgy — that will be discussed in a professor’s living room. To raise the hype level, only the first 25 students who show up are allowed to participate in this non-credit-bearing activity.

Speed-Reading Techniques
I was a Bible college student when one of our chapels featured a guest speaker who taught us how to speed-read. At the time I didn't need the skill since most collateral reading assignments in my courses were under 500 pages, but I started practicing just for the fun of it - sort of like a private parlor game. However all that changed when I wound up in graduate school at Princeton Seminary and several Profs. expected me to read several thousand pages of collateral along with the five or six textbooks. That's when I got serious about speed reading. Here is the collection of what I practiced then, and picked up since. The first thing I had to do was toss away the reading myths I had held so long.

How to Start a Hedge Fund
If you've spent the last 5, 10, or 20 years enjoying the fruits of a blissfully unregulated financial system that created wealth for its adepts but nothing for the American people, then surely you're steamed at the big regulatory overhaul that passed in Congress this summer.
