What a wonderful use of technology and creativity! I love that these students, many of whom are truly challenged by their life circumstances to meet even their basic needs as children and as students, were able to be a part of this. Yay, Google!

What I love most about this story is that no matter how long human beings have been on planet Earth, we just keep discovering more information we did not know before. A new continent? Really? Fantastic, even if it is mostly under water...now. What about "once upon a time?"
This weekend has tested the ability of the sports industry - players, coaches, owners, and their other employees - to express their feelings about how their government, our government, supports or fails to support all members of our society.

Here are some links to consider and celebrate the accomplishments of those scientists.
