Here are a few stories and blog posts that I read in the past week:

• A dozen posts on simplicity
• Daylight savings time may increase energy costs.
• Graduate students juggle babies and politics
• Anna Nagurney addresses the under-representation of women in STEM fields
• When wealth and height do (and do not) correlate.  An interesting illustration and analysis using linear regression.
• The NFL adopted new overtime rules for how postseason games end.  Is the new system better or more fair?  What does “better” mean in this context?
