More information about Ai Wei Wei. He is most well-known for the Bird's Nest stadium for the 2008 Olympics.
He was arrested based on the fickleness of the Chinese government. His work is very controversial but the problem here again is the lack of transparency.

work
I spent this past weekend at a Habitat house. I realized again that people have many different ideas about work:
- Some people don't want to do anything beyond what they have to do for themselves.
- Some people will only work if they see a benefit for themselves.
- Some people like to work only when they are seen.
Part of producing great team work is finding quality people. This weekend, I found some nurses that I would not mind working with again.
This Mother's Day, I am thankful for all those mothers (including my own) who exemplify and teach that one works hard no matter who is watching.

I know now that I was not deceived by Kuo's lies and deceptions but by my own sins. - Gregg Bergersen, AP News

Family recently reminded me why I am glad not be younger. Young people can do stupid things. All of us were young once. With age, comes wisdom, well, some wisdom.
Therefore, not feeling so bad about being old.

The story of the summer, what will the Fed do.
Another sign that the bubble will burst. Or, that's not what IPOs were intended.
