I have an exam in a couple of weeks and am having some problems learning all of the bones. Does anyone know of an interactive site that would help? I can't always find time to go to the lab and the book is helpful. I searched the web for some sites, but can't decide on a really good one. The study site that accompanies my text book doesn't list all the bones covered in the book.

Bill Bennett and Rod Paige on national standards and tests!

Former Education Secretaries Bill Bennett and Rod Paige weigh in on national standards and testing in the September 21 Washington Post:

Forty years ago the sociologist James S. Coleman made clear that there's no reliable connection between the resources going into a school and the learning that comes out. Fifty years ago economist Milton Friedman made clear that in education, as in other spheres, monopolies don't work as well as markets. That's why most Republicans and some Democrats favor school choice in its myriad versions and why many, like us, have also embraced today's other important education reform strategy: standards, testing and tough accountability for schools.

But there's a problem. Out of respect for federalism and mistrust of Washington, much of the GOP has expected individual states to set their own academic standards and devise their own tests and accountability systems. That was the approach of the No Child Left Behind Act -- which moved as boldly as it could while still achieving bipartisan support. It sounds good, but it is working badly. A new Fordham Foundation report shows that most states have deployed mediocre standards, and there's increasing evidence that some are playing games with their tests and accountability systems....

The remedy? As both of us have long argued, Washington should set sound national academic standards and administer a high-quality national test. Publicize everybody's results, right down to the school level. Then Washington should butt out.

Do you know what causes it (fatal familial insomnia)? and also if a person have that, what makes them lose their ability to sleep? and also, I know sleep is needed to stay alive but what does sleep do? When we sleep, do we recharge our brains? What exactly do we recharge our brains with? chemicals? How come we cannot make the chemicals then we can go on not sleeping until we are 80 years old.
