While injecting aquarium fish to change their colours is not new, (as we see here) nor is breeding them into untenable forms, the direct genetic manipulation producing the glofish poses more far reaching concerns.
Animal cruelty is a serious issue, don't get me wrong. I think that GMOs are far more of a threat. The company claims that the glofish will not harm animals that eat it, nor secrete into the water any harmful substances. Let's see the 10 year study.
Just spent the day at the Playboy Jazz Festival yesterday *drool* Must say that Dve Brubeck and Al Jarreau together was truly awesome. That being said, here's Playboy's list, and I agree with almost every choice: Cannonball Adderly: Somethin' Else Art Blakey: Moanin' Dave Brubeck: Time Out Benny Carter: Further Definitions Ornete Coleman: The Shape of Jazz to Come John Coltrane: Giant Steps
A Love Supreme Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool
Kind of Blue
Miles Smiles with Gil Evans: Sketches of Spain Duke Ellington: And his Mother Called him Bill Bill Evans: The Village Vanguard Sessions Dizzy Gillespie, Charlis Parker, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, Max Roach:
Live at Massey Hall Herbie Hancock: Speak Like a Child Coleman Hawkins: Body and Soul Charles Mingus: Changes Two The Modern Jazz Quartet: Django Thelonius Monk: The Complete Genius Oliver Nelson: Blues and the Abstract Truth Charlie Parker: The Savoy Recordings Bud Powell: The Amazing Bud Powell (Vol. 1) Sonny Rollins: The Bridge Art Tatum: The Complete Art Tatum Weather Report: Heavy Weather
As I said, I agree pretty much with their 25 must haves, and I'd add to it starting with the Rippingtons.
Is Linux a legitimate solution to school districts facing a financial crunch?
Absolutely. The k-12 linux project is the option I'm beating my principal's head against now.
Being in an inner city SoCal district, we can't afford new hardware and we honestly can't afford the licensing for the MS software we currently run. Converting our lab to linux might well be the/only/ legitimate solution to our current budget crunch given that the other proposed option is to close the lab.
Fortunately I work for an administrator who can see the benefits, so maybe, just maybe my students will continue to have the chance for a competitive education even given our lack of resources for technology.
