Amazing kids

NorthSouth Foundation (www.northsouth.org) conducts educational competitions in USA at regional and national levels. These competitions include Spelling Bee, Math, Public Speaking and many other.

It is amazing to see the kids in action while spelling words like superabundant, stateswoman and some tough words. These are hardly first graders and second graders.

In the case of Junior Math Bee, it was won by a kindergartner, while other kids went through 1000s of words and identified definitions.

These kids are truly amazing..

PRISE - Progress

PRISE was initially planned to launch on 3/24, ref article as I was planning to attend the SEPG Conference 2007 from March 26-29. It would have been a great opportunity to discuss this search engine with fellow Process Improvement specialists.

Other CSE moderators identified that marking the CSE entries would support users greatly and hence changed the plans to accommodate the marking. As the time progresses, added several other sites and the count of sites this CSE uses now stands at 250. Started with 90 sites and now expanded to 250.

The CSE is receiving a steady 10 searches a day during business days and a total of 432 searches in the month of March.
