E Ho'omau! (To preserve; to learn from the past and perpetuate the good) is a curriculum development project funded under the Native Hawaiian Education Program of the U.S. Department of Education (http: //www.ed.gov/programs/nathawaiian/index.html). It begins with the creation of three high quality animated versions of traditional Hawaiian legends, designed to be engaging and culturally appropriate. These are complemented by standards-based written materials and teacher training activities to strengthen language arts and science achievement for Native Hawaiian 4th graders. E Ho'omau! addresses the need to improve the literacy skills of students of Hawaiian ancestry by integrating evidence-based educational approaches with a visually-rich learning system based on Hawaiian legends. The idea is to elevate student motivation and enhance self-confidence while providing meaningful learning opportunities.

A sunny day in paradise turned into one of the deadliest, most catastrophic natural disasters ever. An earthquake deep in the Indian ocean caused tsunamis that battered countries from Southeast Asia all the way to Africa. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Millions were left without food and shelter. Whole cites were wiped out not unlike from a nuclear explosion. The only solace is the creation of an early warning system that has already proven its worth.
A scheduled test resulted in the explosion of the Soviet nuclear power plant that burned for 10 days before it could be contained. Radioactive clouds rained down on much of the Northern Hemisphere. Over 700 people died and untold more were exposed to high levels of radiation. Elevated levels of cancers, deformities in newborns, and organ failure could affect generations to come. Many safety enhancements have been made in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster. Features that hopefully will not be tested as nuclear energy begins a resurgence because of increased energy demands and the desire for "clean" fuels to limit the impact on global warming.
