But an eager press corps from California's Capitol has ratcheted up the pressure over the past few weeks, even crashing Sandoval's announcing a new state slogan.

The New Environmental Education is Good for All of Us

Andrew Hart, NOS
Twenty years ago, the term Environmental Education left a sour taste in most people’s mouths. Perhaps it still does for some, but it shouldn’t. Most everyone in my current profession will agree that Environmental Education hasn’t always been done well and in the 1980’s and 90’s, even when it was; the term had been hijacked in popular culture by agenda-based organizations and lobbying groups.
 
Sunday Morning Reflections: Doing healthcare on the cheap a bad idea

I sat down this morning and watched a very interesting documentary: Idiocracy. The documentary was narrated by “Joe” who plays the role in the movie that I play in real life: attempting to go around explaining things all the time using logic and reason but getting nowhere.
Yet, I can't help myself. I feel compelled to drag an unwilling populace into the light (go into the light, into the light).

From the Office of Congressman Mark Amodei
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today voted to give the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) explicit authority to shift funds from lower priority expenses to air traffic control operations. The bill would permit the FAA to transfer $253 million in FY 2013 to air traffic controller salaries and expenses, negating further furloughs of controllers through the end of the fiscal year. The bill would also permit Transportation Secretary LaHood to make additional transfers within FAA accounts. Having passed the Senate Thursday night, the bill now goes to the President for his signature.

Quality Counts: In school rankings NV can brag, "We're not as bad as South Dakota."

Education Week recently released its 17th annual ranking of best and worst schools in the US. You'll have to scroll to the bottom to find Nevada, which came in at #50 -- beating out the state with the worst schools in the country, South Dakota at #51, for the bottom honor. But it's really not as bad as it looks, says State Superintendent of Schools James Guthrie, it's just that Las Vegas schools are bad and their scores are dragging down the rest of the state (Las Vegas is the fifth largest school district in the country). I think it's safe to say the excuse-making and finger-pointing have begun. Leaders say Las Vegas to blame for Nevada's low education ranking (RGJ) The states with the best and worst schools (Yahoo) Quality Counts 2013 Education Rankings Come In: Maryland First, South Dakota Last (Huffington Post)
