P.S. If any Ypulse readers attended the Joan Cooney Ganz Center Symposium today and would like to write a guest post summarizing -- let me know! They released two papers: The Power of Pow! Wham!: Children, Digital Media and Our Nation's Future and a policy brief from Dr. James Paul Gee. And more research on parents' perspectives on digital kids.
P.P.S. Here's another silly but fun Obama video for all you supporters out there. Have a great weekend!

Regarding the article on eating environmentally, I'm not sure if the photo of a woman carving an animal carcass was supposed to be an example.
It isn't environmental to grow vegetables, feed them to animals, and then kill the animal so that people can eat the carcass.
It's environmental for people to eat the vegetables directly.

Totally name dropped you in the chat associated to the online streaming of the Ganz event. We were wondering if you had scored an invite, lol.
Hope all is well, Anastasia!
Cheers,

On Beyonce's creepy clothing line:
Good gravy! What kind of crack are the designers at the House of Dereon smoking? The poor kid in the red shoes(with the 4" heel!!!) has a look on her face like "How am I supposed to jump rope in these?"
Jeez!
