To the Editor: Following the lead of Mercedes Schneider, I suggest the following approach be used for the new Elementary and Secondary Education Act as well as for education reform in this state: We can just rank states and schools therein by the parents’ income. We already know that the higher the parents’ income, the higher the student’s standardized test scores. We’ve known this for decades. Problem solved. Again, no need for SBAC or PARCC tests, no loss of teacher jobs, no loss of state funds for massive testing costs, no...

Stacey Rasmussen, manager for the Odessa Public Development Authority, didn’t know what she was in for when she met with people from the federal Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Ecology last week for a “routine inspection” of Odessa’s mothballed biodiesel plant. As she reported Monday, March 16, at the regular monthly meeting of the OPDA board, the initial inspection quickly set off alarm bells among the DOE representatives present. EPA representation was also expected, but no one from that organiz...

The service was again impeccable, with Bridgette, the ship's concierge, and Gilliano, the program director, often checking in to see if there was anything else we needed for the day. The second day's...

Dear Dr. Universe: Where does dirt come from? - Brian, student from Pullman, Wash. In just a word, the story of soil goes something like this: “CLORPT!” It’s fun to say, and it helps explain how tough rock turns into the soft soil farmers need to grow food and feed the world.

He said a soil scientist, Hans Jenny, came up with five actors in the soil story: CLimate, Organisms, Relief, Parent material, and Time. The texture, smell, and color of so...
