What ya know bout?

Bueno trabajo, Costa Rica!  They have elected this country's first female President, Laura Chinchilla.

Did you know Costa Rica doesn't even have an army?  Abolished in 1949.

France is selling arms to Russia.  How interesting since France is a part of NATO.  Russia is still continuing to big arm the country of Georgia, which then leaves the "savior" country U.S. to start asking questions..hmmm

Thought this was kinda interesting from MoveOn.org.  I am not sure of the authenticity of this "ransom note", but nonetheless it brought my attention.  Recently, President Obama invited the Republican party to a televised open discussion on health care once again in response to their request for a discussion.  I am pretty sure the response was not to the least open.  As we all remember the last time open televised discussion which allowed them to ask him questions, did not make the Republicans looks so "smart."

Dr. Bernard Anthony Harris, Jr., the first African-American towalk in space (first to fly into space is Guion S. Bluford, Jr. on Challenger in '83) has been offering FREE two-week science camp programs at selected universities around the country, some of which are HBCUs.  Pulling back to the community as well all should in some way....Reading about this definitely was a personal boost of encouragement.  The importance of mathematics and science is definitely losing it's niche in education.
