 Happening NOW! Tens of thousands of students hit the streets of Montreal, Quebec to protest higher education budget cuts and increasing tuition. Police have declared the march illegal and have begun arrests. Canada's corporate media is failing to report this massive uprising. Share to support the students! #manif3avril VIDEO: http://bit.ly/1i56cwt

Came across this gem while doing some research on territoriality:
"Ethnic and Political Identities and Territorialities in the Post-Soviet Space" (1998).
Sorry to be so negative, but it leads me
to believe that this Ukraine/Russian conflict is unlikely to end well. I
really hope we don't get militarily involved: http://www.nuim.ie/staff/dpringle/

Referring to story posted in Chicago Tribune 3/25/14 entitled: "BP
confirms oil spill into Lake Michigan from Whiting refinery."
"...The spill comes amid years of legal challenges from federal officials and environmental groups that have forced BP to take extra steps to curb air and water pollution at the nation’s seventh-largest oil refinery. The Whiting plant remains one of the largest sources of industrial pollution discharged into Lake Michigan, according to federal records."  |
I
learned yesterday that there is a teacher at a local charter high
school teaching APA science classes who is anti-evolution. She tells her
students that those "evolutionists claim.... but its not right because
its inconsistent with the bible." A number of the students cheer because
they don't want to believe it either. I am told she is otherwise a good
science teacher. My source is a couple of my
current students who took her classes a few years ago. They are good
students and I see no reason for them to want to misrepresent the facts.
I'm thinking I should tell someone but don't want this person to be
treated like a witch either. I just want her to teach the curriculum
without undermining the theoretical foundations of the life sciences.
