Source: Ohio loses $409 million grant bid
It looks like Ohio did not cross the finish line in the first round of the federal “Race to the Top” grant competition, according to the Associated Press.
The Associated Press is reporting a source from the U.S. Department of Education said Delaware and Tennessee were chosen as the first two winners of the government’s $4 billion competitive grant program. The source refused to be named because not all finalists have been informed of the choice. A formal announcement is scheduled for today at 1:30 p.m. The states were selected from 16 finalists which were announced earlier this month.
Scott Blake, Ohio Department of Education spokesman, said the ODE had not been contacted with a decision as of 10:45 a.m.
Ohio had requested $409 million in their formal application, which was submitted in January. Each finalist went to Washington D.C. a few weeks ago to do an in-person pitch for funds.
The U.S. Education Department will collect a second round of applications for the highly selective grant program in June. States not winning in the first round can reapply.

I think that if you have a blog, then it is what you need. Tell people about something, someone is advertising, to somebody else for something else. Personally, I think so. Here I have a blog about my travels, but I can not share them with people, because somebody would write that this is spam. A hoster will also kick :)
