NOT YOUR GIRL FRIEND

THE WEEK (2009) 9/11

Fay Weldon, an anti-feminist is now blending with feminism. She now states that it is good to be able not to depend on men or the good will of men. However, she says that no matter what you do, males will not become your favorite girl friend. Males want sex and grunt. If you want a man to be nice to you, never give him a hard time, never talk about emotions, and never ask how he is feeling.

PLAN B

It appears that any global warming legislation is not going to go around the world. Business will not do it. It costs too much and their competitors can outsource their industries to banana republics. So, try the next best thing with technological advances like white roofs. If things get worse, everyone will be forced to reduce carbon emissions. That is when the legislation may work.

22 HEALTHS AND SCIENCE

Multi-tasking does not work very well according to new research. Therefore, doing one thing at a time is still the best strategy.

Mozart probably died of strep throat.

When folks are lost they go in circles.

TIME (2009) 9/14

27-29

EDUCATION/ No matter what you do, you have to measure how many bad students and good students that are impacted by a teacher. If they are below a certain standard, they must have a period of change, then teach and be measured again. If they do not measure up, they must be fired.

CANCER you continue to hear it. We are beating cancer. Generally, that has not happened. So here is the latest. There is now a vaccine that can be used to try to prevent various forms of cancer and there are after surgery meds to help folks go into remission.

Or, at least they are in the experimental stage.

40-47

LENO IS BACK/

If Jay Leno is successful, network television may be changed forever. As it is, the big networks may be successful, but they have to be cheaper. The 3 hour time slot at night has to change for the networks to survive. Awe inspiring drama and tightly scripted comedy is just too expensive.

48 WHEN WILL OTHER COUNTRIES DUMP OUR T-BILLS?

Our debt is roughly half of GDP. That is at 7.6 trillion and yet we do not have inflation. Nor are creditors demanding that it get lower. The Great Recession of 08’ saw Treasury or T-bills as a safe haven. So Republicans who said Deficit don’t matter have switched gears. It has to come sometime, and so Obama administration has to slow down soon. On the other hand, this was not in the article. Hands down, who has the most nukes and military weapons? Further, if so many are invested in us, we may become so big that we can’t fail. If we do, we drag down the world.
