Distance learning is the future. A lot of universities now have their own online learning programs for students living far from campus. These programs are available for everyone, including those working overseas who still want to pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree from a reputable university in the US.

Recent reports suggest that more and more people are going back to school and pursuing a master’s degree of their choice.

Hurricane Katrina caused unimaginable devastation to the city of New Orleans and to the state of state of Louisiana itself, but it did provide an opportunity to push the reset button on some of the city’s and state’s policies. One of these resets has occurred in the area of education. Last year, Louisiana’s legislature established […]
The latest episode of the “Consider This!” podcast is out. Conservative commentary in 10 minutes or less. The school voucher program in Louisiana is a fantastic success. The high school graduation is significantly up, and the poorest are benefiting the most. So, of course, Obama’s Justice Department is suing to stop it on the ground of … […]
The latest episode of the “Consider This!” podcast is out. Conservative commentary in 10 minutes or less. Of all the services that the government performs, which ones are considered “essential”? Which ones stay operating even during a shutdown? Here’s an example of one, and in fact, it’s a service that is active only during a shutdown. What if they […]
I am a big one about complaining about government regulations, partly because if you actually know how to think, you don’t need them, and partly because the stress in following the rules can distract you from the real problem: which in medicine is listening to the story underneath the story that the patient is telling […]
The Washington Post is busy printing “opinions” but today’s editorial seems to go over the wall. A psychologist who once was an ordained minister disdains standing for “god bless America” during ball games. Why? But being pressured to stand up at a baseball game for a song that’s essentially a prayer seems, well, un-American. The rest […]
We read about one incident of a lunatic shooting people in a theater, a lunatic shooting people at a school, a lunatic crashing jetliners into skyscrapers. Then we conclude that all strangers are lunatics, too dangerous to connect with. So we stay alone, unconnected, and slowly we become a nation of benign lunatics.   I see […]
The seventh in the series finds Bill Travis once again trying to help a client who has also become a friend. A familiar pattern in these novels and one that played out in the first book The Last Call. That resulted, among other things, in a marriage to Julie, and a number of children. Neither […]
There are a lot of blog-posts trying to bash the LDS church as not being “Christian”, usually to encourage Evangelical voters to vote against him. As a Catholic, I am old enough to remember when a similar stealth campaign was done against John Kennedy. The more things change the more they stay the same. I […]
That’s the title of an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about the results of a new study on how school vouchers affect their recipients. President Barack Obama last month signed an executive order promising to "improve outcomes and advance educational opportunities for African Americans." The order instructs federal agencies to "promote, encourage, and undertake […]
This morning I rose and read the “sermon of the day” before I went to church, and sure enough, another highfalutin sermon on the Good Samaritan. For those who are not Christian, this is one of Jesus’ stories about a man beaten by robbers who was helped by a passerby who belonged to a rival […]
Those of us who supported some kind of government health care bill for the 38 million uninsured were duped. Our hope was that a government program could help some who lack health insurance (or the underinsured who would go bankrupt if they had a health emergency). These folks would now have a safety net for […]
Todays news (CNN) http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/23/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 reports the apparent resignation by the Sanford Florida Police Chief. Later today the city council failed to approve his separation agreement, as they could not come to consensus. The media circus that followed this case was inevitable given the high profile nature of the tragedy, but without a doubt it was […]
It’s open season on the LDS church, says the headline in this WAPO article. The piece foreshadows, I fear, of what is to come — effort to portray Mormons as weirdly out of step and unmodern, and by implication, Romney as being unfit for the presidency… But if you read the article, the writer isn’t […]
