The district\'s high school students soon will be able to log on and attend any of the more than 100 online classes offered at the Wayne County Community College District. The access is part of a partnership expected to be announced today between the Detroit Public Schools and the community college, in part to meet a new state proposal requiring all students complete an online course to graduate. The courses, which would include college classes and ACT and SAT preparation, would start as early as this summer for about six high schools and expand district wide this fall. The offerings will help students who want to take classes that aren\'t available in their schools, typically because of a lack of teachers or interest from other students, officials said. The college\'s chancellor, Curtis Ivery, said he expects both advanced students and others who may struggle with school to benefit from online instruction because students today connect with computers so easily. \"At the age of three years, they are on the video games,\" Ivery said. \"They are so comfortable with the technology.\"

Doner, one of Detroit \'s largest ad agencies, has lost Circuit City Stores Inc. as a client -- the second account to slip away from it in as many weeks. The Southfield-based company had been the agency of record for the nation\'s second-largest consumer-electronics retailer since 2004. It said its contract with Circuit City ended at the end of February and wasn\'t renewed. \"Without a doubt, it\'s important to try to hold onto existing accounts,\" said Jeff Stoltman, a marketing professor at Wayne State University . \"You do start to get some morale issues that pop up in an agency when you lose a couple of key accounts, but I\'m sure Doner management is on the case.\"

Democrats in the state House expect to introduce a resolution today asking lawmakers to join a nationwide boycott of a new video game that rewards players who kill cops. The game, which was released to U.S. markets in January, pits criminals against police officers. Players may select the role of either side and can use as many as 40 different weapons, including a variety of pistols, assault rifles and a rocket launcher in addition to knives and hammers. Democrats say they will introduce a resolution asking House and Senate lawmakers to support a boycott of the game. The distinction between banning and boycotting can invite complications, said Robert Sedler, a professor of constitutional law at Wayne State University . \"Once the government starts prohibiting the sale by law, including to minors, that raises serious First Amendment questions,\" he said. \"That\'s why these laws get into troubles.\"

The House has done its job, and now the Senate must act, and swiftly, to approve the more rigorous curriculum for Michigan high school students. House members voted last week to OK the course requirements. There were a few deviations from the plan submitted by the State Board of Education, which sought 18 credits in math, English, science and other courses, up from the current requirement of one semester of civics. The differences are not insignificant, but they can be worked out and are not an excuse to derail the proposal.
