Mona Lisa Site met ground rules for NGfL Badging
===========================================================
Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling? has met the ground rules for
the National Grid for Learning. It received a passing grade
for content and would have undergone a technical check, had
the ThinkQuest Library not closed. Oracle had acquired the
ThinkQuest Library last December and hoped to republish the
library on their server. It is our hope this will be done soon.
As a result many of the original files, articles and functions
of the Learning About Leonardo ThinkQuest Web Site have been
preserved and moved to a new location temporarily.

L.A. Bernstein Brings news of the WTC Memorial Competition
=======================================================================
Hi Steve.
Thanks, it would be great for you to add a link and
highlight the concept in the August Newsletter.
I also appreciate the concept proposed by Vebjorn Sand.

.
On the Millennial Renaissance Imagery website, there is updated
information about the WTC Site Memorial Competition which you can find
at: http://www.mri2000.com/html/rebuildtheWTC.html
Basically, over 13,680 people registered for this international design
competition. Out of that amazing number of people, only about 5,000
actually submitted in time to meet the deadline.
The link below shows suggestions for building
the World Trade Center Memorial.
