Judge Blocks Md. School Health Program
“A federal judge on Thursday blocked a county school system from instituting a health curriculum that includes discussions of homosexuality.”
And you’ll never guess why…
“U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams agreed with two groups that sued contending such discussions gave preference of religions that are tolerant of homosexuality over those that reject it.”

In preperation of a neat page i will be adding shortly to this site, i offer to you all these links:
There will be a quiz.
Its that time of year. The National Academies (for whom I work) has released their annual Report to Congress (please note, the preceeding link is dynamic. It changes every year to the most recent concressional report).
I present for all you science-types a list of the items contained in this year’s report. Only main headings are linked, as articles within a heading are all grouped together, and are anchorless.
I hope that you find some of this information interesting. I always find something new and exciting here at The Academies 
My new motto for life, “dum spiro, spero.” It translates as “while I breathe, I hope” … or more broadly, “Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
I kind of feel as though that’s God’s motto as well. All the crap that goes on down here on earth must really give Him a headache at times, but as long as there is free will, we will always have the option of turning back to Him and letting Him into our hearts.
I think that, that kind of hope burns in the hearts of all of us. When we watch the news and hear report after report of murder, theft, mayhem, somewhere deep down we all must feel that there is some hope for humanity… As long as we are alive there is a chance that we can turn ourselves around… As long as humanity continues to exist, the spark of possibility will always be there… As long as we breathe, God will still be holding His breath, hoping for the return of His children.
