Week of January 11th

Starting broad with some world related topics:
Ariel Sharon passed away yesterday at 85.

52 places to go.  Nice job, South Africa, with number 1, Tracy!  I want to visit so many of these places.  It seems that perhaps I need to find a way to be a moneymaker!

I was trying to get more information about fracking, so I thought you might need it too.   The article is BBC but the clearest I could find.  The impact domestically: here. 

Ok, heading to New Jersey--  so have you heard about the Chris Christie's staff traffic jam situation?  You can read this, or better yet, watch this.   The bad news for me is that now Aaron has legitimate fuel for his conspiracy theories he yells out every time there is traffic congestion or train delays!

 Some charter v district mobility rates-- and a demo of the newly designed former-gotham-schools-now-chalkbeat site. 

And, of course, what local all news wants you to know about, because of how critically important it is:  how the new mayor eats his pizza.
