this week in Nature

The Institute for Creation Research, was denied unanimously by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, to offer a Master of Science degree.

Antarctic's deep ocean waters are going through a cooling period.

Salzman & Lowell write about comparing of testing scores between nations. It is silly to compare the average scores of American vs students in Singapore, because the average student isn't the innovator. They write "it would seem far more effective to transfer best practices across city and state lines than over oceans." (Another vote for not having a federally mandated education requirements.)

why care? because in theory it could help increase greater processor density
