In an effort to absorb carbon emission from the atmosphere, a group of scientists are dumping a ton of iron ore into the Indian Ocean. Iron causes plankton to grow which, though it does not neutralize CO2, absorbs it and stores it until it is destroyed or dies. Plankton are known to live hundreds of years. However, this is a controversial experiment because, according to some scientists, a single volcanic eruption neutralizes most, if not all, negative carbon gasses that exist in the atmosphere.

Burning nettles, though unpleasant in an unexpected encounter have been used for years to make some of the world\'s best tea.

The sun\'s cycle is aligning causing us to reach a solar max. This will cause lower than normal temperatures as well as power outages, EMP pulses powerful enough to fry electronics, and instant sunburns. The solar max is expected to reach its peak sometime in 2012 however we will feel it\'s fury as early as 2008 and as late as 2015.

On no! our ice caps our melting!! However, more ice is housed in the caps than what scientists consider to be normal.

Today there was an avalanche of ice cream in the Australian desert. Just goes to show what happens when too much antifreeze is introduced into the atmosphere.

The IDT certificate has been approved by the graduate school. However, in the process, two things happened. First, we had to turn it into two certificates: The Instructional Design and Technology Graduate Certificate in K-12 Technology Integration, and The Instructional Design and Technology Graduate Certificate in Corporate Training & Performance. Second, because of policies at UND for how certificates are structured, we were forced to remove any flexibility in course selection, which means that each certificate HAD to be comprised of four (4) courses only. Given that requirement, we had to pick the two courses in each certificate that cover the most core competencies in each area. Both certificates require IDT 500 and 520. The K-12 one then requires IDT 510 and 540, and the corporate one requires IDT 530 and 570. Obviously, this will impact those who were planning to take the certificates but have not taken 510/540 or 530/570, expecting to be able to count other courses for the certificate. These changes still need to be approved at the Senate, Provost, Chancellor, and State Board levels, but they are expected to to do so very soon.
