The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Innocence in NYC?

Southwest by west of here The New York Times has an article on the signing of Short Stop Derek Jeter to a $51 million contract.  OK, Mr Jeter has some deficiencies in terms of being a role model for children, but he is an excellent short stop.

One thing in the story seemed a bit off. Quoting from the story,
Even with his eventual return considered a certainty, the public dispute over the terms of his new contract was unsettling, evocative of parents quarreling: Jeter and the Yankees were never headed for a divorce, but the innocence had faded.
The "innocence had faded"?  This is New York City we are talking about, and the Yankees to boot.  There is no innocence.  The two reporters, Mr Ben Shpigel and Mr Michael S Schmidt, were mistaken.
