      <![CDATA[I wonder if this is part of the upshot of PSU eliminating the School of Extended Studies  (who ran Summer Session the past several years) and moving Summer School under new jurisdiction. It's obviously working brilliantly this year. <br>
<br>
It'll be interesting to see if this is what students can expect out of PSU in the foreseeable future. My bet is that it will. As always, a potentially great urban, flexible university . . .  with counter-intuitive aspirations to be a residential research institution.

      <![CDATA[Spindles - I know this is an old thread (also, I didn't participate in the fluoride debate at all) - but, many in sustainability circles see recovering valuable materials from an industrial "waste" stream as good. When I glanced at some of the anti-fluoride arguments, "but it's produced from waste!" was among them. Just wondering, when you say that it's environmentally unsound, is that what you're referring to?

      <![CDATA[This Warped Tour experience was so much less warped than mine. When I worked the event in '05 or '06, a 15-year-old kid showed me how he had permanently fractured his iris by stabbing himself in the eyeball. The act was inspired by a wish to look more like Marilyn Manson...but I could tell he already regretted it. Kid, if you were trying to haunt me for life, well done.

      <![CDATA[Not to bring up the F word, but I am not surprised to hear this news after the failure of that recent public health ballot measure that was supported by every local newspaper and most of the local TV news stations.<br>
<br>
That said though, I wish there was some kind of science option in the poll. Is there a "societal institution" that would represent scientific consensus?<br>
<br>
Also, I'm very disturbed that "the military" was ranked highest in that poll.
