He's built buildings, written books, married models and starred in a reality TV show. On Monday, Donald Trump announced his latest venture: Trump University. Don't expect ivy-covered walls or a football team. Trump University will consist of online courses, CD-ROMS, consulting services and Learning Annex-type seminars.
OK, but will he teach you how to declare bankruptcy multiple times? How to get corporations to pay for multiple weddings? How to run a hair club for men? How to rebuild a Freedom Tower with your name on it? Get your money's worth kids....

The New York Times announced yesterday that it would offer a new subscription-based service on its Web site, charging users an annual fee to read its Op-Ed and news columnists, as the newspaper seeks ways to capitalize on the site's popularity. So what are the bloggers saying?
NYT: We Don't Want People to Read Our Op-Ed Columnists
Posted by Ernest Miller
At least that seems to be the strategy. According to MarketWatch (NYT.com to charge for Op-Ed, other content as of Sept):
The New York Times Co. (NYT) on Monday said that, starting in September, access to Op-Ed and certain of its top news columnists on the paper's NYTimes.com Web site will only be available through a fee of $49.95 a year. The service, known as TimesSelect, will also allow access to The Times's online archives, early access to select articles on the site, and other features. Home-delivery subscribers will automatically receive the service, the NYT said.
What are they thinking? Is Maureen Dowd, Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman and the rest worth $49.95/year? The easy is answer is: nope. I don't even think they'll be missed all that much. I'd say more, but others have made the most important points.
