Why America is flunking science | Salon
Here’s a pretty honest report on the state of our nation’s education, or, rather, LACK of education when it comes to science.

Yahoo Will Switch To Bing Search Engine – Lifehacker.com

I guess this only leaves me using Yahoo for email and fantasy sports playing. Boo!
