"City to get ultra-fast broadband"

I saw that headline from the BBC (that was the RSS headline), and that a new fiber optic network would be created in New York.  My first thought was, "I thought I heard that the incumbent telecoms wouldn't make that possible in New York for the foreseeable future".  Then, "Maybe I was wrong?"

Then I realized that I had mis-read the one-sentence summary, and that it was York, England, not New York, New York.  And suddenly it all made sense again.  *sigh*

This is how we teach teachers?

Just saw this horrifying video of a Chicago Public School Professional Development session.  Who do they think they're teaching, second graders?  I'm fairly certain they all have Bachelors degrees, at the least.  Does the administration actually think this is helpful?  And how much did they pay the consultant leading the "class" to read off that script?
