Royal blood disorder identified

Recently DNA analysis has found out that blood disorder afflicted the British Royal Family in 19 th and early 20th centuries. According to the article, they examined DNA samples of Queen Victoria's great grandson Crown Prince Alexei and other descendants and revealed that they were suffered from blood clotting disorder haemophilia B. Is that mean once they start bleeding it will continue endlessly? wow... Every time I read such articles I really appreciate that I am healthy. I can't imagine how hard the life would be if I had some kind of diseases. There are many brave people who have been fighting with sicknesses and I have respect for those people very much.

College cutbacks maike it harder to earn degrees

I have read the article about the college cutbacks in US( Especially in California) Because of the cutbacks, many colleges are forced to eliminate the classes and to lay off part-time instructors so that many students can't get into classes which they need to earn their degree.How awful is that! Many Students can't graduate colleges on time and they are struggling financially. I understand that it is a hard time for everybody but societies need productive and talented human resources to make our future bright and colleges and universities are the place to foster these young people. College cutbacks will abort chances of the young.
