WorkIn Threatening Israel, Biden Hopes to Avoid a Rupture
  “Biden has put Netanyahu on probation,” said Aaron David Miller, a longtime Middle East peace negotiator now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The president “doesn’t want to fight and has given him a test he can pass, certainly on humanitarian assistance and perhaps on negotiations with Hamas. U.S. red lines have a way of turning pink. The only question is: Does Netanyahu want to fight?” WorkSome Colleges Will Soon Charge $100,000 a Year. How Did This Happen?
 One letter to a newly admitted Vanderbilt University engineering student showed an all-in price — room, board, personal expenses, a high-octane laptop — of $98,426. A student making three trips home to Los Angeles or London from the Nashville campus during the year could hit six figures. Editor's Note: "The critical factors are that higher education is a personal service, that it has not experienced much labor-saving productivity growth, and that the wages of the highly educated workers so important at colleges and universities have soared," they said. "These are economywide factors. They have little to do with any pathology in higher education."

WorkEarthquake Rattles New York and New Jersey, but Does Little Damage
 Aftershocks would likely “continue for several days and even a week,” said Kishor S. Jaiswal, a research structural engineer with the United States Geological Survey.

WorkSkydance's unique offer for Paramount Global would give it a large stake while keeping the company public
 There still could be other avenues to pursue. Private equity firm Apollo Global Management lobbed in a recent bid of $26 billion for the entire company, The Wall Street Journal reported this week. But the Paramount Global special committee has chosen to move forward with the Skydance talks in exclusivity. Redstone has unofficially sought a buyer for Paramount Global for years, according to people familiar with the matter. The late offer by Apollo may be an attempt to keep the private equity firm around the hoop in case the Skydance transaction falls through. WorkWorkWorkNew York City shakes as 4.8 magnitude earthquake hits US north-east

WorkHow Much Damage Might a Big Earthquake Do to N.Y.C. Buildings?
 James Oddo, the city’s buildings commissioners, said at a news conference on Friday that the department was concerned about “downstream possibilities” resulting from the earthquake on Friday that may emerge in the coming days or weeks, including cracks in buildings or problems with retaining walls. WorkWhy did New York City’s earthquake alert take 26 minutes?
 Shaun Abreu, a city councilman who represents northern Manhattan, wrote on social media that he didn’t know if he was “startled more by the earthquake” or the alert that was 39 minutes late.

 After being confused for each other even by acquaintances into their 30s, the twins led increasingly independent lives. Jim grew to be the reserved hero of a past era: Four decades after reaching Everest’s summit, he described the experience as “the high point of my life” to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Lou, conversely, was the toast of the town: an institution-building entrepreneur and voluble drinking buddy known for wearing loud turtlenecks, cracking ribald jokes and eating like a barn animal.
