Well, Tom, the thing that catches my attention is the high volume....a block of 10,000 doesn't account for the 132,000 shares traded as of the last time I checked....this is significantly higher than normal volume. The joy is in the journey....so I'll weather out these peaks and valleys....I'm still long, my entire position remains intact, and will continue to do so until I see something in the fundamentals to change my mind.

THE END OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION? Interesting snip of an article that appeared in the Monday, June 8th Investors Business Daily issue. investors.com California'sProp. 227 Could Spark U.S. Reforms Date: 6/8/98 Author: Matthew Robinson For Henry Gradillas, June 2 was special. The former principal and bilingual teaching veteran of Garfield High School in Los Angeles was an early supporter of bilingual education. But after more than two decades of watching the idea in action, he sees California's vote to end bilingual ed as the start of a new era of hope for students. ''This is a victory for kids,'' Gradillas said. ''Three years from now, I will be most happy when these kids are going to college and learning better.'' Proposition 227 won with 61% of the vote in California. Only one other contested measure has passed so decisively in the state - Prop. 13, which ignited a tax revolution. Prop. 227's victory has even broader implications, its backers say. It's the first time an education proposition has sought to reform an issue inside the classroom, not just change taxes or school funding. ''This is the beginning of the end of bilingual education in America,'' declared Prop. 227 author Ron K. Unz on election night. Unz, a millionaire software maker, said he conceived the ballot measure after he saw Latino parents protesting in Los Angeles to get their kids taught English in public schools. He thinks California's role as a trend-setting state could spark a bilingual-ed revolt nationwide. For 30 years, bilingual ed has been the reigning theory on how to teach kids English. Academics dispute the social benefits of current bilingual programs for immigrants. But there's no disputing the data: The programs are expensive and yield meager results. Regards, Tom
