Per Educational Decree Number 33, which has just come out thank goodness, the old breaking news thread was busting at the seams at 50 pages, and is now too hazardous for us to post in.

Therefore, I bring you part 2. If news stories posted in this thread generate enough discussions, we'll split off the posts and start a new topic smile.gif Please feel free to refer to and/or quote from the previous thread, which can be found here.

In the meantime, I look forward to the interesting news stories!

Happy posting wizard.gif
