The above title refuses to budge or drop the welcolme. I removed the formatting so I have no idea what's going on. The things I placed above it, still come out below it. I really wish I could use a little clip art. Blogger has decided drawbacks.

This is a site for teachers that has a link to just about anything you could think of. I think you could spend all day and not visit all of them-- even if you didn't take time to look.
TeacherXpress - The Education Web - All in One Place - For Busy Teachers.
... but if you dig a little deeper you find there is more than meets the eye at first.
About TeacherXpress.com - A Working Example of Adaptive Bio- Logic
This web site is a testbed for advanced adaptive automation techniques developed by Cambridge Minds, part of Logotron Ltd, a Cambridge software company.
One robot is responsible for checking all the links and mailing a status report each day.
A second robot is responsible for taking new entries from email messages and inserting them into an appropriate category on the page.
A third robot is responsible for removing entries from the page, based upon a number of criteria.
A fourth robot is responsible for periodically re-ordering the links within categories, according to the level of use by users.
Software robots manage the page -
No human programmer can understand the code that makes these robots work - they are all the product of genetic programming.
Genetic programming is an advanced, automated method for creating working software objects from a high-level logic statement of a problem.
Starting with a primordial ooze of thousands of randomly created software objects, a population of objects is progressively evolved over a series of generations. The evolutionary search uses the Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest and is patterned after naturally occurring operations, including crossover (sexual recombination), mutation, gene duplication, gene deletion, and many aspects of the developmental process by which embryos grow into fully developed organisms.
Over a period of time, this page should work more usefully and more responsively.

Vicky Feek did not think twice about texting her way out of trouble.
5:00AM Monday March 12, 2007
By Juliet Rowan
The 16-year-old Ruatoki student had crashed her car over a bank and was perched inside the upturned vehicle, fearing it would fall into the Whakatane River, when she grabbed her cellphone.
"I only had one bar of service and I tried to ring 111, but I couldn't get through and I thought, 'Oh shit', so I texted my friend and she rang them," Vicky said yesterday.
Text messages can often get through in areas of weak cellphone reception where calls are impossible.
