"Homeopathic remedies work no better than placebos, and so should no longer be paid for by the UK National Health Service, a committee of British members of parliament has concluded. In preparing its report, the committee, which scrutinizes the evidence behind government policies, took evidence from scientists and homeopaths, and reviewed numerous reports and scientific investigations into homeopathy. It found no evidence that such treatments work beyond providing a placebo effect."
Of course homeopathy is still required to be covered by insurance plans in Washington state
Surprise Surprise - Russia Opposes Harsh Iran Sanctions Short of Iran nuking Moscow Russia is never going to support sanctions so just give it up already. The way this is going to have to work is the US and EU place sanctions on Iran and then places sanctions on anyone who violates those sanctions. Either that or just try and make the sanctions work while Russia and China continue selling to them.
Obama to propose new Reading and Math Standards -
The proposal, part of the administration’s recommendations for a Congressional overhaul of the law, would require states to adopt “college- and career-ready standards” in reading and mathematics.
The current law, signed by President George W. Bush in 2002, requires states to adopt “challenging academic standards” in reading and math to receive federal money for poor students under the program known as Title I, but leaves it up to states to decide what qualifies as “challenging.”
The result was that states set their standards at widely varied levels, some as rigorous as those used in high-performing countries like Japan, but others at far lower levels that lay out at best, mediocre expectations for their students.
