Logging is out as West logs into learning at a distance
Article Abstract:
Western Governors University or Virtual U is a plan that has attracted governors from 13 US states. Older students have become increasingly common so there is more demand for low-cost distance learning in the US following a model established by the Open University in England. The plan is for the university to initially offer credits instead of whole courses. Courses could be developed that are tailor-made for the requirements of individual students.

Who said your daddy's daddy won the West with the help of a gun?
Article Abstract:
Emory University professor Michael Bellesiles has been vilified for his claim that the US gun culture was an invention of the 19th century and did not play a key part in shaping the US. Bellesiles says that even by 1850 guns were owned by less than 10% of the population.
