the financial times reports-- the caymans have come under critiscm for the lack of regulations. higher education is turning to the web to gain revenue. as colleges look for new ways to make money -- some -- such as san jose state university -- have added online courses -- to attract students. at for-profit institutions such as university of phoenix -- students obtain their degree on the internet. now -- many colleges and universities with physical campuses are trying out the web model. the education sector has struggled to add revenue throughout the recession. cordelia maloney -- of the unversity of illinois at chicago, says the online model could take off if universities find a way to do it right. "i think what people are really struggling to do right now is figuring out how to make it work. how to offer a very high quality education at a resonable price. and do it in a way that is engaging for students so that you don't have situations where students get into these things spend money on it -- and then discover they can't complete it." maloney says nearly a third of all student

managing editor of the financial times. >> months of fiscal uncertainty, and the threat of recession, have hardly helped business confidence. and the sluggish u.s. growth rate, of around 2%, is far from stellar. demand is simply not strong enough to awaken industry's animal spirits but stand back from the fiscal crisis and a more positive picture emerges: at least america is growing, unlike europe, which has been far slower to put its financial house in order. and the reforms to the us financial system, and a gradually healing housing market, are helping lay the groundwork for a sustained recovery. so too are some big changes to the industrial landscape: first, important sectors, notably autos, have been forced to become far more competitive. second, labor costs have shrunk to the point where they make america much more competitive with other parts of the world. productivity has been rising sharply. third, the revolution in hydraulic fracking is leading to an oil and gas boom, with lower natural gas prices that will boost many industries. beyond the budget battles, there's a bright fu
