    Only unsolved hijacking in US history. The official FBI stance is that he died while parachuting to the ground. Just as with Alcatraz, where all uncaught escapees are "missing and presumed drowned."

    Are you a Dan fan too, Sue? Sorry to keep harping on this everyone, but I've found iTunes an excellent central place to get podcasts from. On the most recent version iTunesU is even better; there are thousands of university lectures and seminars there freely available. I put them up on moodle for the kids to use for research, homework, etc or the students just get them straight from iTunes. Definitely worth a look.

    YouTube is initially applying the captioning technology only to a few channels, most of them specializing in educational content. They include channels from universities like Stanford, Yale, Duke, Columbia and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, PBS and National Geographic, and Google itself - its corporate videos will be captioned.

    Determine the difference between gross wages and net wages and examine the various payroll deductions found on typical pay stubs. Recognize that when making a personal spending plan net wages, not gross wages, should be considered.

    Based on a proposal by a school principal from Saratoga, NY, U.S. railways created the Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones, plus the Intercolonial time zone in Atlantic Canada. It was agreed upon by the railways in October 1883 that they would adopt Standard Railway Time, on Nov. 18, 1883.

    The origin of "drinking the Koll-Aid." On November 18, 1978, a delegation led by California Congressman Leo Ryan visited the Peoples Temple cult in Jonestown, Guyana, and left the camp with 16 members who wanted to return to the U.S. Cult leader Jim Jones ordered his guards to open fire on Ryan's delegation as they waited to board a plane, killing Ryan & 3 journalists. Jones then ordered his followers to drink a cyanide-spiked drink, leading to the deaths of more than 900 people.
