How can a struggling country break out of poverty if it's trapped in a system of bad rules? Economist Paul Romer unveils a bold idea: "charter cities," city-scale administrative zones governed by a coalition of nations. (Could Guantánamo Bay become the next Hong Kong?)

Paul Romer is developing a radical new model of growth and governance, which calls for the establishment of city-scale special administrative zone

I love your body 'cause I've lost my mind
If you want someone to talk to, you're wasting your time
If you want someone to share your life, you need someone who is alive
And if every relationship is a two-way street, I have been screwing in the back whilst you drive

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be waiting forever
Forever and ever

I can dance you to the end of the night 'cause I'm afraid of the dark
I have to confess I'm out of my depth
You're going over my head and straight through my heart

Some girls like to play it dirty, some girls want to be your mum
Me, I disrespected you whilst we were waiting for the taxi to come
My morality is shabby, my behaviour unacceptable
No, I'm not looking for a relationship, just a willy receptacle

I never said I was
I never said I was
I never said I was

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be waiting forever
Forever and ever

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was deep

Clay Shirky mostra como telemóveis, twitter e facebook ajudam cidadãos que vivem em regimes totalitários e opressivos a publicar, em tempo real, noticias, fotos e videos dos acontecimentos. A censura tradiconal nesses regimes é incapaz de controlar o fluxo de informação.

Outside
The storm clouds gathering,
Moved silently along the dusty boulevard.
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
So they can in turn
Reach up and kiss the sky.

They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye
Someone is calling.

I remember when you held my hand
In the park we would play when the circus came to town.
Look! Over here.

Outside
The circus gathering
Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard.
The procession moved on the shouting is over
The fabulous freaks are leaving town.

They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye.
The carinval is over.

We sat and watched
As the moon rose again
For the very first time.

“We got our news from newspapers, your generation gets it from blogs and tweets, and for those of you who don’t know, that’s not what you hear in zoos.”

    “You cannot plan innovation. You cannot plan invention. All you can do is try very hard to be at the right place and be ready.”

    “How should you behave? Well, do things in a group. Don’t do things by yourself. Groups are stronger, groups are faster. None of us is as smart as all of us.”

    “You’ll find today is the best chance you have to start being unreasonable, to demand excellence, to drive change, to make everything happen.”

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

I'll be your plastic toy

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey (x 17)

it took so long, for me to realize
how strong your heart is
and all this time, my mind was working
in strange ways

looking back on the days, just wanna be free
through the love in your eyes
now I'm staring inside, just wanna be free
through the love in your eyes

sweet tides, pools of love
your eyes are full of.......
sweet tides, pools of love
your eyes are full of.......

sharp turn, my mind is a blur
slow passage thru the air
looking back on the days
all over your mind, just wanna be free

sweet tides, pools of love
your eyes are full of.......
sweet tides, pools of love
your eyes are full of.......
