Armed Liberal over at Winds of Change has a pointer to this opinion piece by Fred Siegel. The piece sounds like something derived from Terror and Liberalism, for example the paragraph on European support for Palestinian violence:
The key political vehicle for the new outbreak of anti-Semitism in Europe is support for the Palestinian position [...]
We’ll need to formally talk to an accountant about this (we’ll wait until after April 15, so they’ll be less busy), but the basic gist of the capital gains exemption for selling the apartment goes like this:
For capital gains purposes, the sale of the single 2BR/2BA will be considered a sale of something bought in [...]
Since Grace is going into anesthesia, I’ve been doing a little bit of reading on the subject. The history is fairly interesting: the field has been happy accidents, virtuous cycles and technical change from the outside world.
The first departure point is a popular history book, Ether Day, about the men — a collection of [...]
Cleveland Clinic actually has a handy relocation guide for incoming residents, listing out the various neighborhoods to live in, what shopping and services are in the area, and so on. It’s very handy.
The theory will be to rent an apartment at the beginning. I really can’t imagine myself plunging into the intricacies of [...]
Slate has a photographic tour and discussion about Manhattan apartment buildings through history. The main points are that the majority of recently built buildings aren’t particularly interesting — just brick-clad boxes with right-angled walls — compared to a lot of the older buildings, such as the Ansonia with the fairy-tale turrets. A few [...]
Grace matched at The Cleveland Clinic for the four-year anesthesiology program.
She starts in June. I’ll join her after unwinding the things that have to be unwound here, probably towards the end of the year or early next year. The main uncertainty is how to unwind the apartment without incurring capital gains taxes, but [...]
The banner is from this site, courtesy of a link from BoingBoing.net. New Yorkers had black ribbons after 9/11, but somehow this token had morphed into red-white-and-blue ribbons by the end of the month, which I’ve always thought of as slightly tacky, but, then, I live in New York, where the quality of shock [...]
Glory be to globalization for bringing Beard Papa to the Upper West Side. This is the first Manhattan store for a Japanese chain of cream puff shops, promising light and tasty cream puffs, the best in the world. It opened last week, but the line we saw over the weekend stretched several storefronts [...]
ScienceBlog has a post up about a new, non-invasive test for cirrhosis. It’s basically a blood test, something that measures the ratio/quantities of blood sugars as fibrosis changes to cirrhosis. Currently, cirrhosis is diagnosed through biopsy, which, in my experience, involves an attending repeatedly showing a med student how to stick a hollow-point [...]
This post is more so that I’ll be able to find the articles I just read. I can see myself a few months from now scrounging through Google because I sort of remember something relevant to a CVS-to-Subversion migration project, but not knowing exactly what it was. This blog post is to save [...]
