To Theater_Arts http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Theater_Arts at WUaS ? Planned in many languages ...
This is likely to be epic. August Wilson is one of the great American playwrights of the twentieth century, and his plays fit together into a single cycle, each taking place in a different decade. Combining his work with the sort of production that HBO is known for, and Denzel Washington's hand behind the camera, should lead to something really worth seeing.
It reminds me of when I first started to see Shakespeare's War of the Roses cycle not as separate plays, but as part of a larger work. They're each individually good, but when you see them together, you start to watch how a larger story comes out of the pieces. I suspect that these pieces are underappreciated because so much of their plot and humor is separated from us by a gulf of language; when you read their scripts, you miss a lot. A good performance, with a dramaturge that can decipher this for the actors, brings them to amazing life.
I'm strongly suspecting that seeing Wilson's cycle in one place will have the same effect.

The Obama administration just released data on earnings of students from different universities. At many universities, ten years after enrolling the majority of students make less than $25K (about what a high school graduate earns), while leaving them saddled with mountains of debt.
Going to college is about much more than your salary. But many students find it hard to distinguish good universities from predatory ones. This increased transparency will help many young people make better college choices.

Google source code ... all-in-one
We said a few things about the Google codebase last week. It's basically a single, large codebase; apps live on top of infrastructure, which lives on top of more infrastructure, which lives on top of four elephants, which live on top of a giant turtle. This is why building core infrastructure at Google (be it networks, or storage systems, or search) can have such a high impact: everything uses those same systems.
It's also why things as simple as "source control" are decidedly not simple. Even our code repository needs to scale.

This is a VERY funny translation :) ... more research needed ...
اشتريت هذه الحذاء قبل تولي المنصب ولا أشتري أخرى إلا بعد ترك المنصب لأن الأموال هي من حق الشعب ...
هذا ما قاله رئيس البرازيل "داسيلفا" قبل تركه المنصب . ترك المنصب وهو يبكي لا من أجل الكرسي وأنما بكى على بكاء شعبه لأنهم ودعوه وهم يبكون ويطلبون بقاءه لكنه رد قائلاً (( القانون فوق الجميع ))
