I had a wonderful trip to New York City recently and shared some of the places that I visited (see links at end of post), but there were plenty more places that I ate at, which didn’t get mentioned in previous posts. So here’s a round-up of them… Katz’s Most of the good delis are gone in New York City, but Katz’s is an institution and I like to believe it’s never going to let me down. I’ve had great meals there, but on this visit, my corned beef was tough and almost all of the meat inside my sandwich was inedible.

In case you haven’t seen all the posts lately (like this one and this one ) about Bevo Media , it is now publicly launched and ready for action. It is a tracking platform for paid traffic, along the lines of Prosper202 . It does have a lot of nifty features that 202 doesn’t have, and they are putting some serious marketing muscle behind this release to make it a major player in the PPC / PPV / Media Buy tracking & analytics field. Bevo Media was designed by Ryan Bukevicz and a team of programmers, and the finished product is definitely quite polished. The interface is quite visually striking. But looks aside, there are several things that set it apart from 202 and other competitors. First of all, it has built-in support for the top CPA affiliate networks. You just enter your login details and it will automatically pull the stats for you. This is a massive time saver! It also has built-in API support for the big 3 PPC engines. This means that it will pull your click costs automatically as well. That means no more logging in to your networks and search engines 10 times a day. Bevo Media becomes your hub for everything. Another cool feature that I’ve never seen before in a tracking system is the Classroom. It has different articles, videos, and tools to help the newbie affiliate get their feet wet and make some money. If you are already a successful affiliate, there’s probably nothing in here that will be new to you. But if you are just starting out it’s definitely worth a look

If anyone should be unsurprised by material in the WikiLeaks war logs dump, it’s reporter Nir Rosen—the New York-based freelance magazine writer and Fellow at NYU’s Center on Law and Security celebrated (and sometimes scorned) for his stints embedding with the U.S. Army and the Taliban. And while he wasn’t shocked by the documents, he was…
Ever since The New York Times announced in January that it would install a paywall by early 2011, speculation about how it will work has been high. All the detail the Times provided at the time was that it would allow site visitors to freely access a certain number of articles per month before hitting a paywall, and…

One TV critic’s “panache and briskness” is another’s “shrill and showy.” Some of the very things that the New York Times’s Alessandra Stanley finds appealing and promising about This Week’s new host, Christiane Amanpour, appear to alarm and upset the Washington Post’s Tom Shales. That Amanpour is not of Washington? A potential positive, says Stanley: Ms

Last week, the news media was awash with stories giving readers the impression that the Gulf of Mexico is no longer awash with oil. While the slick on the surface seems to be receding quickly, many of these reports have, unfortunately, failed to stress that the absence of evident oil is not necessarily evidence of absent oil. On Tuesday, federal…

Emerging group experiences have predictable dynamics, whether they are new project teams, training and development programs, wilderness experiences, or just people learning new jobs. People form relationships based on first impressions and sometimes-false hopes, find that things haven’t gone as imagined, and then struggle through confusion and misunderstanding to create their own positive norms that help them work effectively. The best leaders help people through these stages only to find some common issues popping up — things people seem to want that even the best leaders can’t provide.

Four Things Groups Want that Leaders Can’t Give — and One They Can
Two groups dedicated to sustainability — the London-based Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) and the Amsterdam-based Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) — today announced (pdf) the formation of an organization to develop and promote global standards for companies to report both their financial performance and their performance in the areas of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance in an integrated fashion. This is important because integrated reporting is the best way to ensure that companies have sustainable strategies; define them in financial, economic, social, and governance terms; and then communicate the results.

The blogger Economics of Contempt writes that Lehman misrepresented its liquidity in the days before it failed: It’s disappointing that this issue has been almost completely overlooked, because the brazenness of their misrepresentation was shocking. I think the best way to think about it is this: on Friday, September 12, Lehman claimed that it had a $32.5bn liquidity pool,…

So Citigroup misleads investors in 2007 about tens of billions of dollars of subprime assets it would eventually take huge losses on, and the SEC settles with it for $75 million. Citi shareholders (which very much include you and me, fellow taxpayer) pay for Citi screwing Citi shareholders. What a system! Now, $75 million is a lot of money…

There must have been an enormous sigh of relief among BP employees — from the front line to the boardroom — on Tuesday, when their CEO Tony Hayward’s finally resigned. However he was perceived — as villain, incompetent or, scapegoat — what’s clear is that Hayward was failing spectacularly as their leader almost from the outset of the oil spillage in the Gulf of Mexico.

With innovation, entrepreneurship and significantly smarter fiscal policies, America should eventually escape its “hireless recovery.” But what won’t hasten new hiring — and might even dampen job prospects — is the mythical belief that higher education invariably leads to higher employment and better jobs.
