How grandparents are being replaced by Google
Grandparents are being replaced by the internet as rising numbers of children ignore family advice for answers online instead, a new survey has found.
Researchers found that older generations are being replaced by Google, Wikipedia and YouTube, with their grandchildren not asking them basic questions that they can look up themselves.
According to the survey, fewer than one in four grandparents say they have been asked for advice on basic domestic chores such as washing clothes, learning to cook a family recipe or sewing a button.
Only a third of those surveyed said they had been asked "what was it like when you were young?".
And 96 per cent said they asked far more questions of their grandparents when they were young.

Marriage Support Hits Record High
ABC News reports:
Support for gay marriage reached a new high in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, marking a dramatic change in public attitudes on the subject across the past decade. Fifty-eight percent of Americans now say it should be legal for gay and lesbian couples to wed. That number has grown sharply in ABC News/Washington Post polls, from a low of 32 percent in a 2004 survey of registered voters, advancing to a narrow majority for the first time only two years ago, and now up again to a significant majority for the first time.

Philadelphia - Day Visit
I checked out the Barnes exhibit in it's new location. It was clearly more accessible, brighter, and roomier than the original location. Although the original location was difficult to find, it was more intimate and highlighted the controversy between Dr. Barnes, his art collection and the City of Philadelphia. Quick fun visit. I often forget Philadelphia is a true city.

What is Outsider Art?
What is “outsider” art that it should be given this confusing designation (outside of what?), be treated as a separate entity from mainstream art, and often be shown only in specialized museums and sold by particular galleries? The basic answer is that it is art made by people who have not gone to art school, who usually do not operate professionally or earn their livings as artists, and who create, for the most part, with limited or no connection to the art world and its dealers, galleries, collectors, critics, schools, and museums. Not categorized by styles, movements, or trends, it is art made by individuals who are driven to create by their own particular inner compulsions, which may be visionary, derived from memories, evangelical, or popular-culture inspired. It is almost always strongly influenced by local or regional cultures and often is made from found, homemade, or unusual materials.March 12, 2013

Huge Problem: Most People Don't Realize It
Smaller States Find Outsize Clout Growing in Senate
Article Here
The disproportionate power enjoyed in the Senate by small states is playing
a growing role in the political dynamic on issues as varied as gun
control, immigration and campaign finance.
The Constitution has always given residents of states
with small populations a lift, but the size and importance of the gap has grown
markedly in recent decades, in ways the
framers probably never anticipated.
What is certain is that the power of the smaller states is large
and growing. Political scientists call it a striking exception to the
democratic principle of “one person, one vote.” Indeed, they say, the
Senate may be the least democratic legislative chamber in any developed nation.
There is a widening demographic split, too, with the larger
states becoming more urban and liberal, and the smaller ones remaining
rural and conservative, which lends a new significance to the disparity in
their political power.
