[view full summary] Only 21 states require students to attend high school until they graduate or turn 18. The proposal President Obama announced on Tuesday night in his State of the Union address—to make such attendance compulsory in every state—is a step in the right direction, but it would not go far enough to reduce a dropout rate that imposes a heavy cost on the entire economy, not just on those who fail to obtain a diploma.

These beautiful time lapse sequences taken around Yosemite Park remind me of my visit as a teenager. Watching climbers on the cliff from Yosemite Valley, and seeing the stars wheel overhead at night both inspire awe, though for very different reasons. Also, checkout the air traffic over the valley in the night-time scenes. Vimeo link Blick's Pick offers a new science video every week (archived here).
