The federal government is promising -again- to fix things in Pikangikum.
It gets a little harder, each time, to read about Pik in an article and feel a little of the despair, even at distance.

Lisa Randall and E.O. Wilson on "Charlie Rose".
Lisa Randall is a physicist, who tries to explain to Chuck, what is hoped to be found/confirmed with high-energy experiments when new "colliders" come on line, shortly. E.O. Wilson is a biologist, whose latest book is an appeal to anti-science dogmatics to help change the negative ways we are affecting the planet.
Why post this vid? They're on my team.

Free web design software, for public schools. Could not find out from the webpage, if the offer is only for US schools; worth looking into, however.

Did ya ever see Smoke Signals? The Chris Eyre film based on a Sherman Alexie short story?
I just watched The Business of Fancydancing -written and directed by Alexie, himself- and it stars Evan Adams, who played Thomas-Builds-The-Fire in Smoke Signals. Very good Indie movie; Evan Adams is surprising in his role, at least to me, because I always see the awkward hero -ThomasB-T-F- when I think of him. Even more surprising... Evan will be, or has by now, graduated medical school.
Here's an interview with Sherman Alexie about making movies, his own way.
