USDE: Duncan Goes To Denver

Secretary Duncan is headed to Denver for a couple of events, including the labo-management conference some are calling collabor-palooza.  There's also a budget coming out -- though Republicans still want to talk about last (this) year's budget a little longer.  And that's about all.  See below.
