Weekly Roundup for Jan 20, 2012

This is my first attempt at something like a weekly roundup like I said I should try in To Blog Or To Share?. Hopefully I can maintain it.

• Martin Luther King Jr on education:
Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the ligitimate goals of his life. Education must also train one for quick, resolute and effective thinking… We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living.”
• More quotes:
• Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
• I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
• Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
• The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
• Apple to announce tools, platform to “digitally destroy” textbook publishing
