connectivity by 2025 will open a brave new world of killer apps, according

your swing at the tee and has you make corrections and adjust your grip."

Attention, parents: Have your little ones been subjected
to "TS Gold" in school yet? If you care about student privacy, data mining
and classroom intrusions, you might want to start asking questions and
protecting your children now before it's too late. What's happening here in
Colorado with this onerous testing regime is happening everywhere.
Informed families and teachers from all parts of
the political spectrum agree: It's a Big Government/Big Business "gold" rush
you don't want to join.
