One huge reason we should all be getting out to vote this year is the United States almost drug like consumption of oil. These resources come from unrealiable places as we all know and effect our balance of trade by exporting our wealth to other nations. By using home grown technologies and alternative methods of running our cars--like hybrids we could go a long way to help the environment and increase our wealth.

Please take a moment to think about who would help us in that directioni as you head to the polls this Tuesday.

The Main Causes of the Great Depression -- Are they similar today?

The Main Causes of the Great Depression


Take a look at this article and see if many of the same factors contributing to the great depression exist today. For certain there are many factors that do not exist today--largely as a result of the efforts of FDR in the 1930's. Yet I am struck by the underlying political and economic forces as described in this article.

What the. . . .

I spent the first 3 weeks of this year working at IS 164, and then I was excused from the school. I was told by my principal on the way out on a Wednesday that I would not be needed as the last hired from my school--I had no seniority. I then found a new job at IS 52 where I am working now.

Sadly, the principal at IS 164 Ms. Carrillo called me back after I had been at IS 52 for a couple of days to ask me back. Since I had already made a promise to IS 52 I could not go back to IS 164. I will miss the kids at IS 164--and I wish them the best of luck. They can always contact me regarding anything they need for high school Math, or social studies.

The new digital schools is under construction and contains both a math and social studies component. The weather is warm here in New York--Indian summer. We are off of school this Monday.

Hey All. . .

Well the year is on with a bang. Anne is at IS 52 and I am at IS 164. Anne has been made the Social Studies chair and is now busy as all heck. I received a grant to create a web site for kids in New York City relating to math--whew. We are both feeling healthy if not tired. My mom and dad are doing well and the leaves are starting to change on the trees here in New York.

We had our first cold night here yesterday and you can feel fall in the air. Eric, my brother, is busy as all get out with the election coming up and we are all praying that things stay calm here in New York. Our friends Howard and Stacy have announced their wedding set for next year and we could not be more excited.

Gus the dog is dong well and he is now adjusting to his new sleeping quarters outside of our room. It has improved our sleeping patterns and his. He can now get water as he pleases.
