Seriously?!

The vodka that Diddy was in town promoting, and thus the basis for all this fluff, was MISSPELLED in the original version of this story?!?

That it just too funny. And very pathetic.

Why doesn't this writer have an editor at her side at all times? How many corrections have been issued for her "stories" over the past few months?

This is high school journalism at best.

In a time of sweeping layoffs at Greenspun Media, I fail to understand how she still has a job.

Wynn = control freak.

Just waiting for cry baby Wynn to blame this on Obama, too.

Good journalism starts with asking good questions, and sometimes the best questions are the most obvious ones, as in this case: has Steve Wynn himself personally benefited from government? Not surprisingly, the answer is yes - let me count the ways.

Thanks for a straightforward analysis of Wynn's hypocrisy.

Very nice behind the scenes reporting. Much better than that silly showgirl top 11 (or top whatever) list from last week.

Doesn't it defeat the purpose when you give the public a head's up about when and where you will be setting up a DUI checkpoint?!

I don't understand the point of this. It is neither smart nor funny. In fact, it makes no sense at all.

You are part of the problem you profess to know the answers to - you lack proper subject/verb agreement in your own sentence construction. The word should be "were" not "was."

This is only one of the ongoing problems that I encounter on a routine basis in my classroom at UNLV - especially in lower-division courses that fulfull general education requirements.

It is not only that students don't know how to construct a grammatically correct sentence (much like reader Steve), or write a decent paragraph -let alone a passing paper; nor is it only a problem of reading comprehension and critical thinking.

I am encountering more and more students who think that simply enrolling in college-level classes somehow entitles them to a passing grade - regardless of how subpar their work is - and, eventually, a college degree.

Professors at UNLV will issue midterm grades tomorrow for all 100 and 200-level courses. I am prepared to give more than 1/3 of the 85 students in my 100-level course Fs.

This is the unfortunate reality of my classroom this semester: students who don't come to lecture, who hand in "papers" that are less than 1 page in length - without even having purchased the necessary books to complete the assignment. In some cases, students lack the ability to even understand the question they are being asked to answer.

It is that bad.

I much prefer to gives As to Fs, but I have no problem failing students who don't - or cannot - do college level work.

After all, it is my job to make sure that students who receive 3 credits toward the completion of their college degrees have met the basic requirements of college-level work; if they cannot do this, they cannot pass my course.

This problem is not unique to UNLV - but it is definitely worse here than at other universities where I have taught (UMass-Amherst, Indiana University). And it certainly begs the question: what, exactly, is going on?

Finally, for those of you who are concerned about tax-payer dollars supporting this research - you need to reread this article. For it is stated quite clearly that this research initiative will be supported by a $1 per-credit surcharge per undergrad student.

The majority of you posters are idiots.

Do you have no emphathy for a scared, young woman who either 1) truly didn't know what was happening to her body or 2) was so petrified, or in such a state of denial, about the potential ramifications of being pregnant that she hid the pregnancy and GAVE BIRTH IN A BATH TUB, ALONE. My guess is that you unsympathetic, holier-than-thou posters are probably 1) primarily men and 2) likely supporters of abstinence-only education, which helps create a scenario whereby a young person is too scared, or ashamed, to come forward and ask for help.

You know nothing about this woman. For all we know, she could have been sexually abused by a family member or family friend, further exacerbating her fear and denial and making it all the more difficult for her to ask for help.

This is a sad, sad story, anyway you look at it, but villifying this young woman is not the answer.

"The vast majority of talk on yesterday's red carpet revolved around the incoming child."

Seriously?? The "incoming child"? That makes no sense.
