On Wednesday, a federal district court in Los Angeles dismissed Brown’s claim against Electronic Arts for the use of his image in its Madden NFL series.

Transcendentalism Today: Echoes of Walden, online and in the classroom

It’s a curious and increasingly untenable situation, given that, to the increasingly large percentage of the population…
