Price: ,900,000 The Skinny: Hedge fund manager John Paulson, who made most of his .2B fortune by shorting the sub-prime mortgage market, bought this extravagant Aspen home, dubbed Aspen Lakes Ranch, for .5M. Set on 8.4 acres, the 13,000-square-foot mansion was built on spec by a local developer, who included seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a stocked pond, a private sandy beach, and a guest house. Apparently, this wasn't quite enough for Paulson, his wife, and two daughters, who are now decamping for one of America's ultimate estates. Last summer, the family paid M for Saudi Prin…http://www.twitpic.com/cpgrsk

Americans who value public education have a new reason to worry: “parent trigger” laws. Journalist Yasha Levine has just detailed this new danger in a case study of the nation’s first public school privatized under “trigger” legislation.

Since March 11, the global oil industry has had 13 spills on three continents. In North and South America alone, they’ve spilled more than a million gallons of oil and toxic chemicals – enough to fill two olympic-sized swimming pools. How bad was it? Here’s an infographic of all the oil spills, leaks and derailments in the past 30 days. All spills in order of occurrence: March 11 – 21: Gwagwalada Town, Nigera A week-long leak of Kilometer 407.5 NNPC (Nigeria National Petroleum Corp) pipeline.

It was surprising enough that the police did not immediately evict the occupiers. We expected the most likely scenario was for hundreds of riot cops, backed up by horses and copters, to be unleashed against us that very night. This would certainly be in keeping with the style of the NYPD, whose usual strategy is to overwhelm protesters with sheer force of numbers. Yet in this case, someone made the decision to hold back.
