Quoted: The collapse of the banking system explained, in just 59 minutes. Our crack economics team—the guys who explained the mortgage crisis, Alex Blumberg and NPR’s Adam Davidson—are back to help all of us understand the news

I listed to this when NPR is in fund-raising mode:)

Quoted: Listen to the BBC's international radio station.

This club is being featured on NPR right now -- on the same segment on which we were featured last year.

Notes: They have $17,000 in the market and 15 members. Their holdings: Walgreens, Wells Fargo, Petsmart, ...

They ended the year down 12.3%. They were invested in financials and consumer discretionary.

We were wondering what this was yesterday. Coincidentally, Orlando, the head of the group, is on NPR right now. He is saying the right thing -- that's it's not just about placing technology in classrooms -- it's about partnering with teachers, grass-roots organizations, etc. to deliver market-relevant solutions.

Quoted: It's about helping individuals and communities around the globe achieve their goals and dreams with relevant, accessible, and affordable technologies. Through innovative solutions and local partnerships that are transforming education, fostering local innovation, and enabling jobs and opportunities, our mission is to create a continuous cycle of sustained social and economic growth for everyone.

Anxious to try this out. I love NPR's choice of music that they play between segements.

Quoted: The new player works not just at NPR Music, but across all NPR properties. It lets you click a single link anywhere on the site to add an audio file you're reading about to your playlist. Playlists will run continuously and link back out to the articles they were derived from.

Didn't know the Prius was selling this well.

Quoted: But While the Prius has become mainstream — it was the sixth-best-selling car in May — many of the other hybrids on the market have fallen short.

Quoted: By moving the side mirrors farther out, you can line up all three of your mirrors so they have minimal overlap -- and you can see everything behind you and beside you.

I've been wondering why this is.

Quoted: Large dogs can be 80 times heavier than small dogs. Relatively speaking, that's like a person being 50 feet tall. Researchers have found a gene that may account for the enormous size difference between dog breeds.

Quoted: House Republicans just voted to slash funding for NPR and PBS this year--and eliminate funding altogether in two years. We stopped them last year. We can stop them again. Sign our petition to Congress opposing these massive cuts to public broadcasting.
