Religions need not worry about Stephen Hawking. The field will remain clear for those who want to invoke a deity to explain what science cannot
Financial Times: Sarkozy's shrinking reform agenda
It would be better if the French president managed to be re-elected on the basis of sustained achievement rather than tasteless rabble-rousing
Financial Times: The Coulson affair
The widening of the affair makes the need for a deeper inquiry more pressing. The fresh allegations must be fully investigated
 Yahoo!: Crafting a Career in Eco-Chic Jewelry (BusinessWeek)
BusinessWeek - Goldman Sachs may not have a lot of friends in the White House these days, but one of its former employees has made a good impression. After three years as an analyst in Goldman's fixed-income, currencies, and commodities division, Monique Pean began her own jewelry line that can now be found in Barneys, Jeffrey New York, and around the neck ...
Yahoo!: Hard Times for Wall Street's "Sell Night" Recruits (BusinessWeek)
BusinessWeek - In late July, Goldman Sachs hosted an exclusive dinner for recent college graduates at a Ruth's Chris restaurant in midtown Manhattan. While the chain steakhouse might have seemed declasse for veteran Wall Street traders accustomed to 21 or Delmonico's, it was a big draw for bright-eyed recruits who may never know such grandeur. Some even che ...
Yahoo!: Elite B-Schools Keep on Building (BusinessWeek)
BusinessWeek - The Yale School of Management crams students and faculty into 19th-century homes and former astronomy buildings linked by a rabbit warren of basements in New Haven. It's a far cry from the 40-acre Boston-riverfront campus housing Harvard Business School, which has achapel, a health club, and its own art collection.
Yahoo!: Italy Goes After Tax Dodgers (BusinessWeek)
BusinessWeek - It's been a busy summer for Italy's undercover tax inspectors. Sporting T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops, they have blended into the crowd at beaches, yacht clubs, and discos from Venice to Sicily, searching for that most elusive of creatures, the Italian tax dodger.

The core strategic challenge facing centre-left politicians just about everywhere is that people want to be supported by the state, but will rebel if they fear suffocation, writes Philip Stephens
Financial Times: The EU can be a boon for Greece
Creating a powerful new anti-corruption commission could be like tossing a gun into the middle of the brawl, writes Paul Romer

·Blair’s lessons for the left
The core strategic challenge facing centre-left politicians just about everywhere is that people want to be supported by the state, but will rebel if they fear suffocation, writes Philip Stephens

The Sarrazin case will have a crucial bearing on who takes over as ECB president when Jean-Claude Trichet retires at the end of October 2011, writes David Marsh

In two decades Japan has had no fewer than 14 prime ministers. The public is entitled to ask: ‘Why on earth would we want these idiots in charge?’, writes David Pilling
·Obama was too cautious in fearful times
The idea that the policies adopted in the last few months of the Bush administration and the first months of this one were far better than nothing is weirdly controversial in the US, writes Martin Wolf

·What's new in search: Prospective Search?
The ‘search’ functionality forms the base of most internet operations today.K-praxis has, in previous posts, speculated on the future of search. With the advent of ‘prospective search’ this functionality is now branching off in a different direction. What is the scope and potential of prospective search? How is it different from traditional search methods? What kind of a future does prospective search have? I ...
·Media, Technology and Human Intervention
There has been some interesting discussion around the idea of information technology vs media on some of the vantage points of online discussion networks. How does one understand these discussion threads? Is this just a buzz about the companies that being mentioned (Google and Yahoo)? Or there are some fundamental issues being discussed here that define the use, consumption and monetization of online information. ...
·K-Praxis Launches a Revamped News Analysis Website
K-Praxis has revamped its website with a new interface and has enabled its analysts with technology solution developed by Textual Analytics Solution to analyze and track trends in the area of online information management.
·Mind Networks
earlier article we had looked at the relation between the real world communities and online communities finding remarkable similarities at least in relation to its spontaneously evolving nature. Evolutionary biologists have been studying the patterns of the functioning of the mind forthe mind for several decades.

·E learning Models
uniformity within e-learning, this article will evaluate the viability of e learning in terms of the responsiveness of the students, the economic feasibility and finally the desirability of such a take-over of the educational field. Besides the old question in a new article: can automated education replace the human guru, this article also looks at the practices of e learning and the delicate issues that they throw up.
·Uniform learning
Heterogeneity and a multiplicity to choose from, marks (at least superficially) the contemporary educational system. A certain uniformity, however, emerges from within this diversity in the form of standardization. Does this standardization aid and abet learning? What are the processes by which it creates a better atmosphere for a learner in terms of the mode and medium of education/instruction? K-Praxis examines e l ...
·Scientific Analysis in Academic Research
In the previous article we saw how automating the collection of data can help in establishing some criteria to demarcate the scientificity of a particular study within the field of academic research.

In the face of the debunked notions of objectivity and verifiability, how can one make the a ...
·The Method of Science in Research
There has always been a controversy as to the 'method' employed within scientific/ academic research. While there are quantifiable standards available to mark excellence within commercial and business research, what marks the truth/success of a piece of study undertaken by the academia? More importantly, what is the methodology employed by which one can arrive at the conclusions of a proposed study? Academi ...
·Information Management and Academic Research
If academic research is a search for newer knowledges then what is the component of this new knowledge and how does it get formulated? K-Praxis takes a look at the role that data and information play in the creation of knowledge. How does one systematize, categorize, evaluate and understand this data?
·Instruction and Information
It is increasingly felt that top-down instruction may not be the best pedagogical tool for transferring knowledge. With the prolific cyber-culture, there are abundant alternative ways of exchanging information and learning.
