For Zack Kopplin, it all started back in 2008 with the passing of
the Louisiana Science Education Act. The bill made it considerably easier for
teachers to introduce creationist textbooks into the classroom. Outraged, he
wrote a research paper about it for a high school English class. Nearly five
years later, the 19-year-old Kopplin has become one of the fiercest — and most
feared — advocates for education reform in Louisiana. We recently spoke to him
to learn more about how he's making a difference.
[...]
No one was more
surprised of his becoming a science advocate than Kopplin himself. In fact,
after writing his English paper in 2008 — when he was just 14-years-old — he
assumed that someone else would publicly take on the law. But no one did.
"I
didn't expect it to be me," he said. "By my senior year though, I realized that
no one was going to take on the law, so for my high school senior project I
decided to get a repeal bill."

Interesting article suggesting that the reason for Nokia's selective early
release of results is that Steven Elop is in an interal
struggle to block Android in Nokia.
Nokia share price was considerably
boosted by the media reporting breathlessly that '4 million sales is great'
never mentioning a) these are sales to warehouses b) 4 million is nothing, less than Apple has done in a day. c) the numbers
given do not differentiate WP7 from WP8, and it seems WP8 is < 2 million of
these.
Something is going on. Apart from the several interesting
suggestions from seekingalpha any other
ideas? Any share trading experts able to comment if the trading patterns show
abnormalities?
