TARP Cost Will Be Less Than Once Thought
The reviled mother of all government bailouts — the $700 billion lifeline to banks, insurance and auto companies — will expire at a fraction of that cost and could conceivably earn taxpayers a profit.That was not the idea. The banks are not back in the banking business. -

Elite Colleges, or Colleges for the Elite?
Giving preference to children of alumni during the admissions process is basically affirmative action for the rich.YES! I think it a good thing. They subsidize the rest of us in theory. There needs to be some ambition to enliven the classes. The management has forgotten this. -

Singapore Math Adopted in More U.S. Schools
“How to make math easy for elementary school students? Go slow. - http://nyti.ms/aup8vJ via @cityroom”
Math is easy.Learning it is not.Those who are trying to teach it do not understand this.It is just a series of intellectual tools created to solve problems.Detailed commentary later.As I read the article it looks an awful lot like the technique Otto Bachmeister used to tutor the "slow learners" when I was a child.They would go to business school.

Invasion of Privacy Charges After Death of Tyler Clementi
Tyler Clementi killed himself after an intimate encounter was broadcast.
It would be far better to force the social acceptability of obligate gay children. This would involve a state interference with religion. At another court this might be acceptable under the constitution. It is borderline.
If trials for witchcraft are forbidden trials for homosexuality should also be forbidden, whether they are formal or by a mob.

The Americanization of Mental Illness
“Ethan Watters new book is called Crazy Like Us. See NYTimes magazine article: The Americanization of Mental Illness - http://nyti.ms/5p29ud”
I have read this article with interest and some understanding. I differ with it in detail. I wonder if the neutral conclusion is deserved. As I read it the logic is something like this:The worlds' cultures have suffered psychological upsets of individuals from their beginning. These have proven surprisingly temporary in many cases.The model used to treat these upsets has been spiritual/cultural.In recent decades American culture has developed a set of psycho-pharmaceuticals that directly impact these upsets. The expressing behaviour changes to near normal. When the drug is removed the behaviour returns to what it was in many casesThe writer implies but does not conclude in this excerpt that the upsets exist and persist in the mind, a construct or concepts and models that guides and controls behaviour. The chemistry that American medicine treats is psychosomatic and real. The proper treatment of the objectionable behaviour is through the mind. When the mind is ordered the behaviour and its drivers will end.
I find I have no objection to this model. I do think that disordered minds should be nowhere near the seats of power.
I am no longer sure how much of my psychological history after the seventies I mentioned. I was under a great deal of stress in the early eighties Underpaid and feeling abandoned. My brother Jim had a breakdown that sensitized my family to such troubles and I landed in the local psych ward for a couple weeks. Insurance paid for it. The Psychiatrist found nothing treatable. I was released. I signed on for some talking cure. It began with a check of the records. He quickly concluded that 1969 was a misdiagnosis. Just extreme stress and the mad times. we went on to what the immediate problem was. More of the same. The recommended treatment was a better job. I did not want to go into my love life or lack of it. Most of my problems there were still pretty well suppressed. I said goodbye to him and found the tech job at SUNY Stony Brook. Still bad but three times the money. It looked OK at the time.
You should know from this that a licensed man thought that I was thoroughly sane. The situation has, if anything, improved.
Homosexuality seems to be much in the news. I am not one of them.I do not approve of hounding them. It appears to be genetic and thus not truly under voluntary control or subject to external guidance. They do pair bond just as firmly as heterosexual couples. Denying those pairings recognition in all ways equal to heterosexual pairings is deeply unfair and should be unlawful.I remain fully committed to the project.
