Massive, reeking carcass of a 40-foot gray draws gawkers to O.C. beach

Someone at the LA times is a frustrated novelist. "Its enormous tongue was so swollen that it bulged out of its mouth like a giant black balloon. Seaweed still dangled from its mouth, and only a few patches of gray-black skin were left on the body, which was a light beige color from the fat underneath."

Prince died without a will, 6 siblings likely to share fortune

Sounds like there is going to be quite the fire sale. "The value of his music catalog alone has been estimated at over $500 million, according to Prince's first manager, Owen Husney. That included potential licensing rights for film, TV, commercials and videogames that Prince rarely exploited, Husney said last week."

Why America's Schools Have A Money Problem

Utah spends less per student than impoverished inner city Chicago schools. Joey briefly attended an accelerated program in a nicer school within our district. I could not believe the donated gifts at the school fundraiser compared with our own Cherry Hill, which is a Title I school with a Spanish immersion program. Cherry Hill is a great school, but they just moved the gifted and talented program because it was competing for resources with Spanish immersion. I guess what really bothers me is the zip code based disparities between school funding. I really wish it were more evenly distributed, even within districts.
