Another latex resource

  1. “Using LaTeX in WordPress » Online LaTeX,” http://sixthform.info/steve/wordpress/?p=59.
note the nice bibref from zotero

latex (.not the rubbery kind, you perv!)

Believe it or not, it is soooo easy to add equations to a blog using latex.
\[\sum_{i=100}^{7x}y_{i}\]

(beware: the script is on the watchmath server, which was recently hacked. I will need to upload my own copy, so if it doesnt work that is why.)

The Road to Economic Crisis Is Paved With Euros - NYTimes.com

The Road to Economic Crisis Is Paved With Euros - NYTimes.com
Can Europe Be Saved?
By PAUL KRUGMAN

THERE’S SOMETHING peculiarly apt about the fact that the current European crisis began in Greece. For Europe’s woes have all the aspects of a classical Greek tragedy, in which a man of noble character is undone by the fatal flaw of hubris.

Not long ago Europeans could, with considerable justification, say that the current economic crisis was actually demonstrating the advantages of their economic and social model. Like the United States, Europe suffered a severe slump in the wake of the global financial meltdown; but the human costs of that slump seemed far less in Europe than in America. In much of Europe, rules governing worker firing helped limit job loss, while strong social-welfare programs ensured that even the jobless retained their health care and received a basic income. Europe’s gross domestic product might have fallen as much as ours, but the Europeans weren’t suffering anything like the same amount of misery. And the truth is that they still aren’t.
