This one is titled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/media.washingtonpost.com\/wp-srv\/education\/interactives\/pi\/index.html?hpid=artslot\">Easy as Pi<\/a>.&#8221; It describes the US Student Physics Team that participated in the 2007 International Physics Olympiad in Isfahan, Iran in July.  The feature contains links to two video segments. One is a really nice piece in which the five members of the team describe themselves and their experiences. The other piece is a description of the team and competition by the two coaches. It&#8217;s well worth goign through this piece as it speaks to an appreciation and love of science, personal achievement, and an understanding of the human condition that comes form meeting and working with people from throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"300\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\"><font color=\"#000080\" size=\"2\">U.S. Deaths  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConfirmed By The DoD:<\/font><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\"><font color=\"#000080\" size=\"2\">3679<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\"><font color=\"#000080\" size=\"2\">Reported  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. Deaths Pending DoD Confirmation:<\/font><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\">5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\"><font color=\"#000080\" size=\"2\"><font color=\"#000080\" size=\"2\">Total<\/font><\/font><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\">3684<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icasualties.org\/oif\/BY_DOD.aspx\" title=\"View Confirmation List of U.S. Deaths\">DoD Confirmation List<\/a><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/icasualties.org\/oif\/\">Iraqi Coalition Casualty Count<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The online Washington Post has another great feature article today.
