It'll happen soon, Professor Bhagwati!
- Our own econ professor, Jagdish Bhagwati, won the Nobel Prize for Economics–on the season premiere of The Simpsons, that is. It’s in the first minute. (Fancast)
- Because we still care a tiny bit (even if we don’t want to admit it), James Franco says he wasn’t sleeping through class that one time he was sleeping through class. (Gawker)
- The MacArthur Foundation announced the 23 recipients of their “Genius” grants–among ’em: a beekeeper, a high school science teacher, and David Simon, creator of “The Wire.” (Reuters)
- Mayor Mike: “TENURE BAD. MAYOR MIKE NO LIKE TENURE.” (New York Post)
- We seem to be getting along just fine without LeBron. Cavs fans, not so much. (New York; New York Times)

@Fei You know what else New Yorkers, and in particular, Columbia students should care about?
Getting outside of the Morningside Heights bubble for some downtown variety:

@Dr S Deman Really do not care if Prof Bhagwati gets a Nobel Prize or not, but world wide recession forthe last two years and a possiblity of a double dip recession has made Prof Bhgawati’s theories of Free Trade & Globalisation irrelevant. He is out of race.
@Anonymous I question the credentials of anyone who makes such a general proclamation.
Who’s Deman?
@Dr S Deman Commentator on my comment about Bhagwati needs spinal cord transplantation as he beig a psychophant he does nto have courage to disclose his identity. You have my name and look at my blog http://newsviews-raceclass.blogspot.com for a full article on Bhagwati.
@disagree I disagree. Shootings/Suicides happen all the time. If Bwog posted every high school or college shooting/suicide in this country, we would be reading this kind of awful news like every other week. A mass shooting might be worth a post, but not this UT one. No offense, but I just don’t think Bwog should report this. Read the NYT or your Google news if you want these kinds of headlines.
@this morning I don’t mean to be a downer, and yes death, suicide, and horrible things happen all the time, but that doesn’t mean we should become immune to them. And as bubbly (as in a we live in a bubble, not cheery and loquacious) as Columbia is, I still think it’s good to know what’s up on other college campuses. 10 shots in a library and the campus was on lock down for over half the day. They said it was a good method to test their emergency lock-down system, and it worked. What’s our emergency lock-down system? Where should I hide if there is a Tornado today? Let’s not get bogged down about it, but we could perhaps acknowledge it–possibly add a little empathy.
@this morning there was a shooting, maybe suicide, at UT. worth reporting.
@Anonymous is anyone else having trouble receiving packages through lerner mail services? my friend overheard how their system crashed and i haven’t received an urgent mail that i was supposed to get a week ago…
@Anonymous dear god yes
@David Simon is my hero
