The World's Fair of Money, which has brought about 1,000 coin dealers and hundreds of collectors to Boston, seeking to tap into the surprising resilience of the coin industry. It includes sheets of America's largest denomination currency, the $100,000 bill, which is said to be worth about $1.6 million today.

Opinion: Congress should pass bills to save teachers' jobs

eduK8 sumitted ago via http://www.mercurynews.com (Views: 21, Clicks: 5)  View Story

The U.S. Senate denied passage of an emergency spending bill last week that included a $10 billion provision to save 100,000 teachers who have been given pink slips due to shortfalls in state budgets. To call this a tragedy is an understatement and merely the latest in a litany of legislative efforts that undermine our education system and throw another roadblock in our children's future.

Pitching takes precision, patience and having a strong arm doesn't hurt. But being able to see may not be necessary. Just ask a young man from Keller,Texas.

Australia's biggest education union has decided to go ahead with its threatened boycott of next month's national literacy and numeracy tests. The Federal Education Minister, Julia Gillard, is equally adamant the exam will take place.

Re: Opinion: Congress should pass bills to save teachers' jobs

Yet a $60 billion dollar spending bill was passed to continue the decade long war in Iraq.

Education is also a national security issue!

Too funny:[b]

Quote:
In textbooks, change the name of the "American Revolution," because it encourages disrespect for authority, hints at condoning terrorism and also sounds too much like "evolution." New name: "Operation Enduring American Freedom."

Cool use of Google Earth. Anyone know of school projects out there designed to use the tool?

NASA has put the chances that the asteroid could hit Earth in 2036 as 1-in-250,000.  


Wow, the Russians aren't taking any chances.
