News & Notes

1.  I am so happy that President Obama has lifted the ban on embryonic stem cell research!  I think this may have been the dumbest thing President Bush did during his terms.  I know that says a lot, he killed a lot people in Iraq and elsewhere, but if a cure for many diseases is found from this research, he has 8 years of deaths on his watch as well.  GoBama!

2. Thank God the weather is about to turn colder, I am sick of this warm crap, it is March!

3.  CMS has announced that they are going to lay off a bunch of teacher, most are underperforming teachers and they are not really looking at the non-tenured, yet.  I know Amanda has no intentions to return to her school but she is looking to teach elsewhere next year.  I was just freaking out for a while about her getting laid off.  We are both still worried about the future, but who knows what that will bring.

4. Dhara got promoted this week, I am so happy and proud of her.  I think if you get promoted in this economy, that says a ton about what your company thinks of you.

5. Speaking of companies, our stock is up over 10 bucks for the first time in about 6 months.  Maybe we are slightly out of the woods.
