Pictures
check out some of these really cool pictures from Flickr. This is the my "favorites" directory.
You can also check out some of my own pictures. They are not as good as those above, but I like them anyways. ;)

It All Adds Up for Kindergarteners
See, I have been saying this for a long time! Math should start sooner in school. :)
It All Adds Up for Kindergarteners: "Preschoolers with no conscious understanding of arithmetic were still able to add two numbers and compare the total to another number. They weren't as accurate as a calculator, but that's not the point, said study co-author Elizabeth Spelke, a professor of psychology at Harvard University.
'What we've shown in the children is an ability to get to approximately the right answer,' she said. And that, she added, gives educators more insight into the 'building blocks' of mathematical knowledge."

Pictures of animals left behind due to Katrina
It took some time, but finally some photos of the animals rescued after the hurricane.
Petfinder.com--has the Lamar Dixon Shelter now online
Project Starfish is a grassroots effort helping to relocate animals displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
These organizations need foster/adoptive homes, donations, and logistical support.
Finding the owners of these animals is going to be hard. If you have some extra time or money, give them a hand.

Do you trust politicians?
A very interesting piece!
BBC NEWS | Europe | States 'not run by people's will': "Sixty-five percent of citizens across the world do not think their country is governed by the will of the people, a poll commissioned by the BBC suggests"
"The figure is 55% for the US and Canada and up to 82% in EU countries - but just 24% in West Africa.
The survey also found that only 13% of people trusted politicians and only 16% thought they should be given more power. "
