(1) Why Can't You Buy Stocks in Kickstarter?  It's already legal. The SEC should finalize rules in crowdinvesting.

("Congress passed a law in 2012 allowing entrepreneurs to sell small amounts of stock through crowdfunding websites. The idea was to streamline the contradictory and confusing federal and state rules about the practice, which would be faster and cheaper -- and require less bureaucratic oversight -- than formal SEC registration. Yet the SEC still hasn’t issued the necessary final rules to allow for this form of raising capital")

(2) Craig Trudell and Yuki HAGIWARA 萩原ゆき with Masatsugu HORIE 堀江雅嗣 and Tian Ying, China Won't Let Toyota Ditch Its Electric Cars.
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... h-its-electric-cars
(“Toyota Motor has made its view loud and clear: Hydrogen-powered cars are the future. That’s why the world’s largest automaker pulled the plug last year on the all-electric RAV4 EV crossover it developed with Tesla Motors. China, the world’s largest auto market, isn’t listening. The government has begun a strategic initiative to build electric cars on the mainland and is encouraging foreign manufacturers and their local partners to get with the program”)

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: Beijing wants plug-ins. So automakers roll out new models
(b) get with the program: "Fig[urative]. follow the rules; do what you are supposed to do. (Implies that there is a clearly known method or ‘program’ that is usually followed.)"

(c) There is no need to read the rest of the report, which does not say more--except for China’s stubbornness.

(3) Cynthia Koons, When You needs a Test--But Not a Doctor.

("Laboratory Corp of America Holdings will let customers go online to pay for tests, visit a service center to get blood drawn, then view the results on the Web. * * * More than 20 states allow patients to order blood work without a prescription")

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: Diagnostics companies aim to market tests directly to consumers
(b) quotation underneath the title in print: ‘There is a lot more patient involvement in their health care’

(4) Jack Clark and Ashlee Vance, Amazon’s Cloud Is Worth How Much?
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... -own-cloud-services

Excerpt in the window of print: Amazon’s cloud operation may be the fastest-growing corporate technology business of all time.

Note: Read only the first several paragraphs, because the report was published before Amazon disclosed its revenue.
