Hey, look at this! The Department of Education “has been conducting a ‘Program Review’ of Kaplan University’s main offices in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., since September. The Post business desk seemed not to notice any of this, but Post investors might want to.” Kaplan is the college loan-shark/test prep death company that makes all of the Washington Post Company’s profits, and now Obama’s Education Department is investigating it for looting the federal government in order to make all of those profits, which are dropping anyway, so that’s kind of funny.

The verdict is out. most money this year will be spent in India, US, PIIGS, Europe and China on Infrastructure and Social Welfare. The first tranche on Infrastructure having already effected and initiated mega projects, financing needs to be closed in projects outside the U.S. and recovery.gov needs to catch up with where the money has already gone in the US and why it is not going to the identified Transportation and Security projects.

Colleges and universities today manifest a paradoxical combination of remarkable success and abject failure. Vast resources and extensive funding for research have made our system of higher education the envy of the worldÂbut its extraordinarily ideological homogeneity corrupts its contribution to American society. In their relentless liberalism, not only do our institutions of higher education fail to train liberal leaders capable of governing a pluralistic nation, the intolerance they foster stokes the fires of the culture wars.

I am a concerned parent of two children, one of whom is attending St Rose’s High School currently in his final year. He intends to write Physical Education for CSEC, but this may not be possible since the equipment required for the various practicals are not being provided by the school. When enquiry was made to the Principal about the purchasing of the necessary equipment, the response was to request to have the students borrow equipment from other schools. Must these students borrow equipment from other schools year after year? The school should not offer the subject to be written for CXC if they know they do not possess the necessary equipment.

Today in History - February 13, 1959 - the first Barbie doll goes on sale. Barbie’s inventor, Ruth Handler, was inspired by seeing that her daughter, Barbie, and her girl friends enjoyed playing with adult female dolls, but most dolls at the time were baby dolls. Handler created 3D models of dolls that she thought would inspire her daughter’s dreams and took them to the ad executives at Mattel, Inc. Although Mattel was founded by Ruth Handler and her husband, Elliot, some years earlier in their garage, the “all male” committee rejected the idea as too expensive and without enough appeal in the market. Determined not to give up on the idea, Ruth Handler continued to further develop her product and went to Europe to gain fashion ideas and market her concept. Mattel soon appreciated the potential impact of this concept and changed their mind, debuting Barbie at the American Toy Fair in New York City in 1959. This new doll concept immediately set new sales records for Mattel ( 351,000 dolls is reported for the first year; sold at $3 each ).
