The weather in California is shifting for the better.

As you know the fires raging in Southern California are destroying everything in their path and the weather has been fueling them for days, on Saturday the winds were 101 miles per hour and now the winds have have shifted to come from the ocean, brining humidity. They have also slowed down to 50 miles per hour.

This is an optimistic change from the dry winds that were much faster. Fire fighters are hoping this trend will continue. I do too. The amount of damage and injury they have seen in California is enormous.

It is a scientific fact that most people learn best by doing, from experiencing what is hard to explain. This is where educational travel enters in. We can talk about a monument without the listener ever really understanding. You can not really understand a culture without partaking in the culture. Traveling there, meeting the people, changes that. you are not only aware of the culture, you become a small part of the culture that was only in a book until you traveled there.

I am a huge fan of traveling for educational reasons. How can there be a better way to learn other than first hand knowledge? This is akin to the greatest field trip ever and I support it. If enough people try this we may be able to stamp out some long held misconceptions.

Every modern business uses data, and to be competitive requires internet connectivity and all the exciting features found with that. In an effort to save money many enterprises will begin with a very small tech footprint, meaning, getting just the essential high tech equipment.

One way to do with would be to purchase a refurbished AS/400 or two. Just as good as brand new but significantly cheaper. This allows you to have hardware of a mid range IT department with less cost than your average corporate data center. Its certainly a smart way to handle that.

If you do not have an online presence you will lose a hefty portion of your market, and if your organizations network is distributed you will require some servers and properly configured data lines.

A judge has eliminated quite a bit of “evidence” from a lawsuit involving the 9/11 tragedy, specifically in a suit aginst American Airlines.

The people that received calls from people on board the jet that smashed in the Pentagon building will not be able to testify. The judge feels that it is  speculative.

Dr. Paul Ambrose, who was an advisor to the Surgeon General, died on September 11th, that fateful year. His parents are suing the airline for damages and the trial is set to go next month.

The Surgeon General will not be allowed to testify as to Dr. Ambrose’s future job prospects.  Also eliminated was testimony regarding a noted discovered at the scene of the crash, testimony from a man burned in the Pentagon, or pictures of body parts.

This extended education becoming more and more important daily, going to college is becoming almost mandatory. I encourage everyone to go to college even if you never major, you are a step ahead.

College is not free, and it is beyond the means of many because of it, Financial Aid only goes so far. So what does a person who wants a college education do? Well certainly apply for Financial Aid. Also, look into grants and scholarships. Prior to current times, the biggest difficulty with grants and scholarships was the fact that most went unknown. However, presently they have been compiled into a easy to search format allowing you to discover them, if only you will search this site. The site has free scholarships and its free to search them. Free is best right?

So now that you have the means, what will you major in? I think this site is fantastic, and I am waiting on my sister to get home so I can tell her about it. She has been stressing on where the money for college was going to come from. She’s a fantastic artist and I am pretty sure she can get a grant or two based on that.
