'My Son is Gay' Blog Post Sparks Debate
“'My Son is Gay' Blog Post Sparks Debate - http://nyti.ms/c08xCo #lgbt”I seem to remember that gender confusion was rather a" No brainer"for Halloween. If I couldn't do better I would have been embarrassed.I did but many did not. No psychic scarring.

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Schlieffen_plan ) More "original thinking" from India.India went with the USSR during the cold war. Simple power politics.And residuals from the Comintern. Relations with DC have been delicate.

“For me, this is the end of an era. U.S. News & World Report to End Monthly Publication - http://nyti.ms/bg6ggP”Attention discipline. It is the paper Sunday Times. Read it and toss it. It just piles up and comforts the dog. Absorbent.

Antibiotics Research Subsidies Weighed by U.S.
Things like tax breaks and patent extensions are being considered as bacteria become resistant to more drugs and many pharmaceutical giants abandon the field.
We will pay more.
The concept of "moral hazard" applies to this too. Livestock feed. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard ) -
Keith Olbermann of MSNBC Suspended Over Donations
The indefinite suspension was a stark display of the clash between objectivity and opinion in television journalism.

As H.I.V. Babies Age, Effects, and Stigma, Linger
Some H.I.V. babies now entering adulthood are struggling with the epidemic’s legacy.
I think I would be ok with this.
Raising foster children is a hard row to hoe. I have seen it done. I have not done it myself. I understand it pays the rent. I do not want to have to have them in my studio. I expect that they will be welcome after "seasoning". "Shutting the door" on small children is cruel but I have always needed that ability since I ceased to be one. Another reason not to have my own. I would need help. -

Online Learning Is Growing on Campus
Online education is finding its way into more colleges, many of them public institutions facing tight budgets.
What these courses need are production values and study groups.
The Marx brothers are the model. Material is developed in front of a live audience. It is then incorporated into a 15 hour dramatic presentation broken into one "hour" chunks with three hour long prep/study meetings held remotely. The prep sessions are interactive and demand real time participation. A standard college course structure adapted for remote learning. Doing without the prep sessions makes it nearly impossible for the student. as does compressing the lectures.
