You'd have to talk to the advertisers.

Jim -- Yes, especially in view of the "special relationship"!

I wonder who we'd have to talk to to get that sorted... ;-/

Thanks for the links -- very cool!

Fortunately, there is a Wikipedia article about Salman Khan, and here is his web site, the Khan Academy.

By the way, it has often frustrated me, too, that I can't see videos from the BBC. You'd think our two countries could sign a treaty or something!

Tried to watch it, but apparently can't because I'm in the UK. I did try to go to the alternative link it provided, but that didn't seem to work, either.

There is genius, and there is genius. First, at least in recent times, there was Jon Stewart who recognized and promoted Stephen Colbert, who is also a genius. And the other night, Colbert promoted yet another genius. This genius has his own way of promoting lifelong learning. See it here:
