1. The old Cincinnati library.

2. Be very afraid: it seems North Korea is ruled by young people.  Roman emperors who started young were usually terrible.

3. Have non-compete agreements gone too far?

4. Will robot telemarketers become pervasive?  And I liked this bit:  “…while Americans accept customer service and technical help from people with non-American accents, they do not take well to telemarketing calls from non-Americans. The response rates for outbound marketing via call center are apparently abysmal.”

5. Ways in which TPP might count.  And here is Krugman on TPP.  I would note that the foreign policy considerations of TPP are probably the most important factor in its assessment.

6. Larry Kudlow on the sequestration re-do.
