Online protests rage against govt censorship

Posted: at 7:47 pm

New Delhi, Feb. 20 -- In an Arindam Chaudhuri Facebook post on February 9, 2013, there's a picture of the man, shining smile et al, with the caption: "The highest followed management guru and teacher on earth (sic) has two million fans," followed by two exclamation marks. It has, till this report was filed, 124,057 likes. On February 15, the government had ordered, following a Gwalior court directive, blocking of sites critical to the IIPM that Chaudhuri runs.

Among the content blocked included a University Grants Commission (UGC) notice against the private B-school. It reads, "IIPM is not a university within the meaning of Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. It does not have the right of conferring or granting degrees as specified by the UGC under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act. It is clarified for information that IIPM is neither entitled to award MBA/BBA/BCA degree nor it is recognised by UGC."

Public ire against the censorship forced the government to lift the censorship. Along with the content that went off the internet included articles which gave details of IIPM's questionable tie-ups with institutes abroad, even when it did not have AICTE/UGC approval.

An education magazine had a few years ago revealed that IIPM had been advertising an agreement offering with IMI Belgium - an institute not recognised by the regulatory authority in Belgium, similar to UGC.

There was also a tie-up claim with the University of Buckingham, which was subsequently denied by the UK university, the magazine reported.

Ron Paul's new 'manifesto'

Posted: at 7:47 pm

Former presidential candidate Ron Paul, a longtime foe of the Federal Reserve and champion of a smaller foreign policy footprint, is turning to education in a new book slated for release this fall.

In New School Manifesto, scheduled for a Sept. 17 release from Grand Central Publishing, the former GOP congressman from Texas will promote home schooling and free market principles applied to education, according to an official book description.

He makes the case for individual freedoms as they pertain to educating our children, and nimbly dissects the most pressing issues that need to be addressed from the libertarian point of view, the description continues.

This will be Pauls fourth book with Grand Central Publishing, following Liberty Defined, End the Fed and The Revolution: A Manifesto, his editor, Ben Greenberg, told POLITICO. Greenberg said the book has been in the works for close to a year, and that a deal for its publication was hammered out in January.

In this book, Greenberg said, Paul will compare the postal service to the education system, arguing that in both realms, competition promotes better services.

Hes basically saying the postal service didnt have many competitors until FedEx, UPS and email, obviously, and now its changing the way everything gets done, Greenberg said. Hes arguing for that in education as well.

Paul will address a variety of education policy proposals, he said.

Hes taking the position that a parent should have the ability to choose what is best, Greenberg said, a philosophy that would include home schooling.

Greenberg, who has edited all of Pauls books done through Grand Central Publishing, said the Texan is really easy to work with and doesnt require heavy editing.

We usually do two to three edits for the main script, but not much, Greenberg said. His ideas are pretty fully formed. Its just a matter of honing in and making sure everything is in the right order and just figuring out how to best say the message without becoming too repetitive or anything like that.

Futurist Says U.S. Entering Golden Age of Agriculture

Posted: at 7:46 pm

FARGO What do cell phones, baby kangaroos and DNA mapping have to do with agriculture?

A lot, potentially, according to futurist Lowell Catlett, a featured speaker Tuesday at the 2013 Northern Soybean Expo held at the Fargo Holiday Inn.

With the cost of buying a home the lowest its ever been in the United States and the price of food relative to income going down, Catlett said the jump in disposable income is creating oodles of new markets for farm producers to exploit.

Agriculture is now in its golden age, said Catlett, regents professor and dean and chief administrative officer at New Mexico State Universitys College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.

On the subject of cell phones, Catlett said someday soon they may be used by farmers to diagnose crop disease on the spot.

And advances in DNA science, he said, are making it easier for producers to brand their products and improve quality, all essential, he said, for instilling confidence in buyers overseas.

And baby kangaroos?

Catlett said researchers who explored why baby kangaroos take so long to emerge from their mothers pouch discovered that the longer youngsters stayed close to mom, the stronger their immune systems were when they did enter the world.

The insights gained hold tremendous promise for improving the health and lifespans of many kinds of livestock, according to Catlett, who said the same idea applies to human beings.

Catlett said research shows that people who dont have deep and rich social connections die at four times the rate of people who make and keep close ties with others.
