Sergey Bogdanchikov would like you to meet Rosneft, a thoroughly modern, reliable Russian oil company with impeccable management and enormous profit potential. That, at least, is the pitch that Bogdanchikov, Rosneft's president, has been making vigorously to investors over the past few weeks, hoping to lure them into a stock listing in London and Moscow later this month that could raise as much as $11.7 billion, making the company worth up to $80 billion.

This time the schools aren't adding desks. They're developing elaborate university-linked retirement villages.

The behavior-modification techniques used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) lure parents into believing that their children can be "fixed," or at least trained to act appropriately. In my experience, ABA works at finding solutions without necessarily providing an understanding of the cause of the problems. The Floortime method is a long-term solution that teaches children how to communicate and helps them repair problems at the foundation. My child with autism has had experience with both methods. Floortime takes more time, effort...
