Kids today don't get it. They learn all they know about sex from educational classroom things. I don't know where they're getting all these wacky ideas - if there's one thing we don't want, it's a bunch of bald 16-year-olds running around having sex when they should be working in coffee shops and fixing cars.

A survey of the most recent salaries of college presidents found that Suffolk University's David Sargent was the highest paid university president in the country in the 2006-2007 year at $2.8 million. The hefty figure was published in most major newspapers Monday morning and raised criticism over the perceived increase in university spending, in spite of a declining economy. On Monday, Suffolk's Director of Public Affairs Greg Gatlin explained that Sargent's salary was a unique case - meant to recognize that Sargent, 77, had been "woefully underpaid" over his 52-year tenure at the school. Suffolk's Board of Directors granted him the pay raise in 2006, to make up for years of being paid less than was standard for college presidents with his seniority.

James Bond is back in "Quantum of Solace," which is a direct sequel to the excellent 2006 reboot film, "Casino Royale." This is actor Daniel Craig's second take as the famous spy, and the expectations for this film are high, as "Casino Royale" has been lauded as one of the best Bond films ever. That being said, does "Quantum of Solace" live up to its predecessor and establish another excellent addition to the Bond series? The answer is that though "Quantum of Solace" does not overshadow its precursor, it still remains a well-done movie that furthers Craig's realistic and gritty portrayal of the world's favorite MI6 agent.
