Unionized Rhode Island Teachers Refuse To Work 25 Minutes More Per Day, So Town Fires All Of Them
What is the point of having unions in the public sector. Unions are there to protect workers against egregious work conditions and unreasonable pay, neither is a serious threat when employed by the state. This is an example of a union simply extorting taxpayers.
The demands were not unreasonable, and the teachers pay exorbitant (compared to the rest of the community). Poor decision making on the unions behalf in light of the economic climate. In my opinion, the union got what was coming to them.

That’s it, that’s all! The America’s Cup is heading back to the States in what has to be the most underwhelming event in AC history.

Why does Eurosport insist on only ever showing ski-jumping. Who watches ski jumping?

America's Cup Online
Watching the America’s Cup online. It is unbelievable how big and fast these boats are. Alinghi just unfurled a 1100 m2 genoa, they are flying their hull in 5 knots of breeze, going 18 knots.

On monday I went to a wine tasting at Kjær Sommerfelt, the Bodega’s wine supplier. They have a one of the coolest shops/building in Copenhagen, but I guess it is to be expected from the Royal wine supplier.
There were several representatives from the different wine producers there to display and discuss their wines. Plus we had a guide (salesmen) escorting us around, helping us pick the best wines (though I think we managed to taste them all). It was really interesting hearing about how things like mountain ranges and winds affected the taste.
The tasting was great. It was cool tasting wines up against each other and experiencing the differences between wines from the same region. My favorite was a Spanish Tempranillo from the Ribera del Duero region. I wont try to appear smarter then I am so I will just say it tasted fantastic. It just so happen to cost 240kr, wholesale. But there were lots of great, affordable wine.
It was a really fun day.
