We're investigating reports of users not being able to edit the Link
List gadget. We'll update this post as soon as we have more information.
Thanks for your patience.
Today is March 30th ... so that makes 3 days for Blogger to try and fix and fail. But hey! Let's be patient.
And I say Thank You Blogger guys and gals for your hard work.

Wow wow wow, I've just made a big mistake and deleted the LABEL with the Oral Comprehension great sites I've found on the marvellous Web.
SITES FOR YOU TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH FOR FREE!
(Am I making myself clear dear pupils?)
So I'm going to have to put it up again and I will begin with Randall's site. http://esl-lab.com/
I started this blog because of this site. It made me realize how useful a blog could be for my pupils. Just to show them they had free access to many English recordings and that by listening to them EVERYDAY, they would get better and better at English.
Since then, I've made many other discoveries on the web.Enjoy! And sorry when the links are no longer valid. I was actually trying to remove the Macao link in the label OC sites when I deleted the whole bunch.

Too big for trial... An honest politician! Kuddos to Elizabeth Warren
Senator Elizabeth Warren embarrasses Bank Regulators at
first hearing :
« What I want to know is, tell me a little bit about
the last few times you’ve taken the biggest institutions on Wall Street all the
way to a trial. …. Anybody ? »
Well, after the answers she got, repeating the same
questions twice, she concludes : « You know, I just want a note on
this : There are District attorneys and U.S. attorneys who are out there
everyday squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking
them to trial in order to ‘make an example’ as they put it. I’m really concerned
that too big to fail has become too big for trial. »

No headlines on the ongoing nuclear disaster -update
Still no headlines around Fuku Nuke plant. Not even for the anniversary of the big Tohoku earthquake.
Holy smoke! What a shame!

No headlines on the ongoing nuclear disaster
« Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Ongoing Disaster »
doesn’t make the headlines though it should.
Still, here are some of the articles I was able to find
today that feebly commemorate the accident, the man-made disaster that took
place after the huge Magnitude 9 earthquake and the following tsunami.
Maybe it's too early in the U.S. and real HEADLINES will appear on the sites I've visited this morning.
I thought I'd see something like:
ONGOING DISASTER IN FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI
ONGOING DISASTER IN FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI
Anyway, I've found these articles on different issues:

This video is from NBC news from last year... It ends with 'Consequences go on.' Indeed...

FOIA
"The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a U.S. law that gives U.S. citizens the right
to access information from the federal government. It is often described
as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government."
Here is a fascinating read that exemplifies the interest of the FOIA so very vividly.
