Later, he participated in a joint press availability with President Yayi of Benin. ‘We’ve come to talk about our mutual interests, but we would not be talking about this mutual interests if, Mr. President, you didn’t believe in certain truths and certain values, that all human beings have dignity, that people need a government that responds to their desires and wishes. And so I come bringing the warm friendship of the people of the United States, and reaffirm our desire to help strengthen your democracy by helping the people here realize their God-given talents.’President Bush Participates in Joint Press Availability with President Yayi of Benin President Bush Presented Grand Cross of the National Order of Benin

Money
What is the largest denomination of US Currency ever produced? It is actually the $100,000 Dollar Bill, which was only released once in 1934. So who was on it? President Woodrow Wilson. After 1945, the largest denomination of the US currency has been the $100 dollar bill. Well today, someone tried to open a bank account in South Carolina with a $1,000,000 (One Million) dollar bill! Since this size of a bill doesn’t even exist, it was pretty easy for the bank teller to tell it was a fake and the man was arrested! http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/strange/11852036.html

Comment from Jenny:
I was looking at different info about the Ottomans and i found this website. You may already know it, or not, but anyway, here it is:
November 16, 2007The ABCs of Nooses and Hate Symbols
A recent wave of noose hangings — inspired by the incidents in Jena, La. — has raised alarm among adults and questions from young people. This edition of The Anti-Bias Classroom (The ABCs) provides strategies for teaching about divisive hate symbols.
Millions Mix It Up At Lunch
On Tuesday, an estimated four million students in 10,000 schools participated in the sixth annual Mix It Up at Lunch Day. Nationwide, students crossed the lines of division and made new friends.
Poverty Throughout U.S. History
Available exclusively from Teaching Tolerance, this annotated timeline centralizes poverty and economic (in)equality as part of our nation’s historical narrative. Use the timeline as a reading assignment for students in grades 7 and up, or as an organizer to integrate explorations of poverty and economic policy into your history curriculum.
Inclusive Schools Week
Inclusive Schools Week is December 3-7, 2007. Start planning now with our free teaching resources about disability rights.
Raising Jewish Boys
Parent, activist and educator Paul Kivel asks, ‘What will they stand for? Who will they stand with?’
In the News
New studies show that abstinence-only programs accomplish little and that preschool makes for higher achievement in later grades; parents and advocates protest differing penalties for anti-war activities at a high school; Illinois teachers question a required ‘moment of silence;’ students explore whether a teacher’s race matters.

This website is sort of a rebel media webcast in America. It talks about politics and just things happening in America and criticizes the American government. Here is the link
http://www.theyoungturks.com/info/show
The Young Turks airs live M-F from 6 - 9 am ET on Air America Radio. Air America Radio is a channel on XM Radio for anyone who wants to listen to it from there. also there are podcasts on Itunes, just type in The Young Turks.
Thanks Patrick B!
Stumbled across this and thought some might like it. A Nova animation of Zheng He’s ship, with a good comparison between it and European ships of the same period. The 3-D imaging makes it easier to visualize than the pictures often used to compare the two.

Whats happens after watching Fox News for toooo long:
The Chasers; a Australian TV Comedy Show making fun of Fox News:
Note, that this may first time the US has referred to a nation’s military unit (Quds, Iranian Revolutionary Guards) as a terrorist group. The US govt. has been saying that the Quds force
has been supplying weapons into Iraq.
As in Iraq, we cited Saddam’s (run by his son) elite Rev. Guards, as a threat and targeted
them in 1991 and in 2003. Another step to war, as I had mentioned this spring or summer, 2008.

Essay prompts are almost never stated as questions – which becomes problematic for some students when they cannot correctly identify the question be asked.
As to a CCOT essay on this topic I have used the AP unit of trade that includes the article on “Southernization” followed by this CCOT essay:
CHANGE OVER TIME ESSAY
The time allotted for this essay is 40 minutes.
Directions: You are to answer the following question. You should spend 5 minutes organizing or outlining your essay. Write an essay that:
Historical Background: Evidence of trade between cultures predates written records. Goods, people, and ideas have spread across the Afro-Eurasian land mass in varying amounts and regularity. A major change occurred between 100 BCE and 1000 CE which would usher in the Atlantic System and the modern global trading network.

Subject: [ap-world] CCOT prompt
I am wondering if anyone out there has a good prompt for a CCOT the essay? I have one I can use: Analyze the changes and continuities in world trade from 500 BCE to 1000 CE in any one of the following regions: The Silk Road (Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia), The Mediterranean, or Sub-Saharan Africa. It seems rather simple but it is their first CCOT essay. It, also, doesn’t pose a question…is that usual for the CCOT? Would it be better to ask What were the…?
