Transparency Tuesday & a NTIS School Flu Toolkit

Our transparent government site for this Tuesday is GovTrack.us. From the homepage "We help you keep tabs on the U.S. Congress. This is the independent, nonpartisan website that started the "civic hacking" movement in the United States." GovTrack.us pulls information from Thomas & other sources for you to track via feeds or email. This site also makes it easy to research the members of Congress. I think this feature will help us fill in a gap made by budget cuts.

Don't be complacent about the flu. Wash your hands & cough/sneeze in the crook of your arm or in a tissue. The NTIS has a free School Flu Toolkit for grades K-12.
