  • The End of the University as We Know It – Nathan Harden – The American Interest Magazine

    One of the biggest barriers to the mainstreaming of online education is the common assumption that students don’t learn as well with computer-based instruction as they do with in-person instruction. There’s nothing like the personal touch of being in a classroom with an actual professor, says the conventional wisdom, and…

  • Max Wettstein: Resistance Band Training – YouTube

    Since I started my hormone replacement therapy, I have been far more active than at any time in the last 15 years. I am especially enjoying working out with resistance bands which allow for exercising any time, any where, with any thing.   via Max Wettstein: Resistance Band Training –…

  • 3quarksdaily: Active Imagination

    In many ways, Jung has aged worse than Papa Freud. His world now seems quaint and naïve in its lack of suspicion and irony, in its insistence on treating symbols as universal, in its belief that all peoples are telling the same stories and meaning much the same things, albeit…

    Can Colleges Ever Really Be Accountable?

    I go on a bit about our system of higher education. Mostly I do this because I have been in and around it for over two decades so it is a beast that is quite familiar to me. But that familiarity–which, yes, has bred an abiding contempt within my spirit–has…

    Thanks to my good colleague & sister Kelli Barr for point out this awesomely sarcastic speech that heralds the Age of Boosterism whilst firmly planted in the Gilded Age. From the speech of Rep. J. Proctor Knott (D-KY) to the House of Representatives, 1871: I was convinced that the greatest…

  • Why Republicans Can’t Propose Spending Cuts — Daily Intelligencer

    When the only cuts on the table would inflict real harm on people with modest incomes and save small amounts of money, that is a sign that there’s just not much money to save. It’s not just that Republicans disagree with this; they don’t seem to understand it. The absence…
