Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 The world's economy is now firmly in
the hands of China. If their banks decide to sell the $609 billion US dollars they
hold in reserve the US dollar would plumet to its actual value of about 53¢.
This process may already have begun. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Third-grader
commutes to school by mule. James MaPherson's story
from Bismark describes the daily trip to and from school of Saje Beard's who rides
to school on her four year old mule. |

warming and here is a basic discussion of the issue with very useful academic annotated
bibliography to help anyone who wants to explore in more detail the ramifications
of dealing with global warming.

- It could have been prevented
 Friday
March 4, 2005

deadly weapons.
