Title IX now doing damage in elementary schools
For a number of years now, I’ve been closely tracking the way that Title IX has been enforced in American athletics. While most people still associate Title IX and its rigid gender quotas with colleges and universities, enforcement of the law has now reached elementary and secondary education — and many of the effects of the law are quite shocking to the uninitiated.

Why A Solar Energy System May Not Be The Best for You
I recently installed a solar energy system in my home that heats my water. I originally wanted to install photovoltaic solar panels, the type that generate electricity. I had it all worked out where I was going to put them and so I started doing some investigation as to where to purchase them.
After looking around for a while I realized that there was more to this that I originally expected. I needed to decide on how I was going to hook up the electricity I would be generating to my house.
