The Rangers (3-4-0, 6 pts), who have yet to win on the road this season after losses in Boston and Philadelphia, have a tall order on their hands Saturday night when they skate against the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning (6-1-0, 12 pts) at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. While the Rangers are coming off of dismal 3-0 home-ice loss to the Penguins on Thursday, the Lightning demolished the Winnipeg Jets 8-3 at home Friday night and have now won five in a row entering play this evening.
Part of the great challenge facing the Rangers tonight is the fact that the Lightning lead the league in goals with 37---an average of more than five goals per game. The Bolts have scored eight goals once, six goals twice this season, and five goals twice. Of course this means the Rangers will have to play their best game defensively, get superior goaltending, and then be able to generate a lot more offense then they did Thursday when Tomas Vokoun blanked them.
Another key tonight for the Rangers will be to stay out of the penalty box. The Rangers, who own a very solid penalty killing unit, have been hurt by some needless penalties of late---including a string of too many men on the ice penalties which head coach John Tortorella refers to as being "mentally weak". The Lightning own a lethal power play---last night they scored three power play goals in the first period alone---and are among the best teams in that category early in the 2013 campaign, scoring at a better than 34 percent clip.
Tortorella and Brad Richards always have a little extra incentive playing their former club---the one with whom they helped lead to the 2004 Stanley Cup championship---and the Rangers may also receive an added boost with the expected start of Martin Biron in goal. Should Biron make his first start of the season, one would expect the Rangers to play extremely hard in front of the popular netminder.
Last season the Rangers and Lightning split their season series two games apiece---including a split of the two games played in Tampa. Three of the four games were decided after 60 minutes of play, with the Rangers losing one shootout at The Garden on December 8, 2011 and two other games in the series being decided in overtime---with Richards lifting New York to a 4-3 OT victory on February 9th at The Garden. Prior to their 4-3 overtime loss on March 2nd a year ago, the Rangers had won five in a row in Tampa.
The Rangers will once again be without their captain Ryan Callahan, who made the trip to Tampa, but will not play due to a subluxed left shoulder. Chris Kreider, who has been sidelined with a chipped bone in his ankle, has been skating the past few days, but likely will not play Saturday. Tampa has a host of newcomers on their team this season including goaltender Anders Lindback, defensemen Matt Carle and Sami Salo, and rookie scoring sensation Cory Conacher. They are fitting in seamlessly with the talented veteran corps of Martin St. Louis---who is among the league's top point producers this season, captain Vinny Lecavalier, and the 60-goal scorer from a year ago, Steven Stamkos.

Ron Paul Responds to TSA: Introduces 'American Traveler Dignity Act'
Source: www.youtube.com
Nov. 17, 2010 – Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14) introduces the American Traveler Dignity Act in response to regulatory measures taken by the TSA to implement potentially dangerous X-Ray screening procedures or invasive "pat-downs" by TSA officials. Campaign for Liberty has released a written statement
remaining the voice of reason.
2 Responses to "Ron Paul Responds to TSA: Introduces 'American Traveler Dignity Act'"
I can see both sides of this issue but let me ask one question. If you were boarding a plane with your girlfriend, your mom, and your sisters, and everyone else boarding the plane looked like Bin Laden, would you still be against the new patdown/xray systems?

Microsoft CEO hints at new devices
Although manufacturing partners will still build most Windows machines, the company appears ready to expand its own hardware line.
By Louis Bedigian, Benzinga staff writer
Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer is hinting at additional hardware releases in 2013 and beyond.
According to Reuters, Ballmer said that it is "absolutely clear that there is an innovation opportunity on the scene between hardware and software, and that is a scene that must not go unexploited at all by Microsoft."
Ballmer also addressed whether the company's partners would "build the lion's share of all Windows devices" over the next five years. "The answer is, absolutely," he said.
Ballmer's statements come at a time when Surface sales are beginning to take off. In addition to the Surface-style smartphone that Microsoft is rumored to be developing, the company is also thought to be creating its first handheld game console. Designed as a 7-inch tablet to take on Apple's (AAPL) iPad and Sony's (SNE) PS Vita, Xbox Surface could provide Microsoft with a new venue for content distribution. As of March 2012, more consumers used their Xbox 360 consoles for Netflix (NFLX) than for gaming.
That said, gaming has been and always will be an essential part of the device. Without it, hundreds of thousands of consumers would not have lined up at GameStop (GME), Best Buy (BBY), Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) and other retailers to purchase an Xbox 360 seven years ago when it was released. Video games inspired consumers to buy the console over other devices (such as those that only play video). Over time, Microsoft has successfully repositioned Xbox 360 as a multimedia entertainment machine.
Microsoft could feasibly do the same for its 7-inch tablet. By launching with a major video game property, such as "Halo," the Windows maker will be able to grab hold of the core gaming market. Better still, those consumers will inevitably use the tablet for more than gaming; they'll surf he Web, check e-mails, download apps, watch videos, etc. And as the price of the device comes down in the months and years after its release, additional consumers will be likely to buy it and take advantage of its multitude of features.
Aside from content (which will be the key to selling an Xbox tablet), Microsoft faces one immeasurable challenge: how to sell the device at a fair (but profitable) price. If the suggested retail price is too high, Microsoft will run the risk of alienating consumers in the same way that Sony has with its latest device. Since February, Sony has only sold a few million PS Vita units worldwide.

An African-American mom spent nine days in jail and was released last week for falsifying her address to get into a better school district. The 40-year-old Ohio mother Kelley Williams-Bolar now has a felony conviction for lying about her address so her two daughters, zoned to terrible Akron city schools, could attend better schools in the neighboring Copley-Fairlawn district.
A Washington Post columnist, Kevin Huffman, wants to know what does it say when parents' options are so limited they are willing to commit a felony to avoid terrible public schools.
"In this country, if you are middle or upper class, you have school choice. You can, and probably do, choose your home based on the quality of local schools. Or you can opt out of the system by scraping together the funds for a parochial school."
"But if you are poor, you're out of luck, subject to the generally anti-choice bureaucracy. Hoping to win the lottery into an open enrollment "choice" school in your district? Good luck. How about a high-performing charter school? Sure – if your state doesn't limit their numbers and funding like most states do. And vouchers? Hiss! You just touched a political third rail."
"Williams-Bolar lived in subsidized housing and was trapped in a failed system. In a Kafkaesque twist, she was taking college-level courses to become a teacher herself – a dream she now will never realize as a convicted felon. It's America's version of the hungry man stealing bread to feed his family, only to have his hand cut off as punishment." …
"As Dan Domenech of the American Association of School Administrators told NPR last week, 'The correlation between student achievement and Zip code is 100 percent. The quality of education you receive is entirely predictable based on where you live.' And where you live in America today depends largely on income and race."
I have a friend with kids in one of the best City of Atlanta schools and she says people make up fake addresses all the time to be in her school. (She says they often give the address of the Kroger shopping center down the street.)
I know many would say well buy in a better neighborhood to get a better education for your child? But what if you can't afford to buy a house in the better public school neighborhood?
They are public schools shouldn't everyone get the same education from them? But we know now that isn't the case.
Now in some states, you can apply to go to any school as long as they have openings. Would that solve this inequality? Should more states do this? What effect would it have on the schools? On the property values? On the families there? Would exposing those kids to kids that can't afford to live in their neighborhood be good? Would it be too hard for the kids with fewer resources?
What choices do parents have to get their kids a better education if they don't have money to move to a better district or send them to a private school? What would you do?

I'm very proud of this woman for doing what she did. It's a testament to so many things that are wrong with this issue. The government is forcing her, basically at the point of a gun, to take her children to a school that isn't doing it's job. For the life of me, I don't understand why we put up with these types of things from our government. In the real world, when someone accepts your money and agrees to perform a duty (in this case, educate your child) and they DON'T perform to the agreement, it's called breach of contract, fraud, ponzi scheme, theft by deception, etc. And they private individuals who do this end up in jail. Yet for some reason, we accept this behavior from our government. It's pathetic.

I too would have done the same for my child. One way to get into the better school district in which you cannot afford to buy in, is to rent. I know that renting is not perfect, but sometimes it is worth it if it means a better education for your child. Georgia has so many private schools, it's almost impossible to figure out which one to place your child into in the first place if that is the route you chose.
Do they offer classes for parents on understanding the GA school system? I have a four year old and am starting school searches now, but feeling overwhelmed with it all. I think it was easier to apply for college at this point, atleast they tell you what to do and expect.

I completely support this woman, and I think it's ridiculous that she now has a felony charge against her because she was doing what she could to better her children. We sacrifice a tremendous amount to send our children to private school (driving old cars, can't remember the last vacation we took, buy clothes used, etc), but many people can't do it even with all of the sacrifices. It is sad that so many people are trapped into their children getting a substandard education by where they can afford to live.
There is a push in the state legislature right now for school choice. Contact your representative and let him or her know you support it. There was a rally last Tuesday at the state capitol:
School choice will change the model of the child following the money to the money following the child. It is critical in providing a better education to all students, not just those who live in a good district or who's parents are able to provide a private education. It will force schools to shape up or be shut down because of lack of students.

I wouldn't lie ,cheat or steal. I would (and I am ) sacrificing a lot to be able to afford a home in a good neighborhood and with good schools.
This woman lied and stole in 3 ways:
1. By stealing the taxpayers money in the "good district" without contributing to the taxpayer base in said district
2. By living in public housing, again she is using taxpayer's money without contributing to it.
3. She lied in the free lunch forms, once AGAIN stealing from taxpayers and not contributing.
I am pretty liberal, but even I am getting tired of moochers who exploit the system.

I think it's admirable that this mom wanted a better choice for her daughters but what she did was illegal. If schools were funded completed by general/state/federal tax dollars and NOT by local (i.e. property taxes), then we wouldn't have this issue. But schools ARE funded by local tax dollars and therefore you must go to a school within your district. Lying about where you live means that your child's school is not getting funding for your child (not that someone who lives in public housing is paying property taxes- other working citizens ire paying more to support this woman and her children).
I understand that some school systems are awful for a myriad of reasons and there should be better standards in place BUT it was this woman's choice to have children when she couldn't afford anything better than public housing. Of course I don't know this woman's specific situation and why she was in public housing, etc. so perhaps we should consider something more local: when Clayton Co. lost their accreditation due to their crappy school board, who took the brunt of the outcome? First the kids in Clayton Co. Second, the tax-paying citizens of neighboring counties (Henry & Fayette mostly) who saw huge increases in attendance in the schools that border Clayton Co. I live in one of those districts. Was it fair to the children living in those districts and going to those schools and the people who live in those districts and therefore pay for those schools to see attendance increase 10% due to Clayton Co's mistakes? No. So who's fault was it? It was the school board's BUT who elected those school board members in the first place? The uninformed voters of Clayton Co did. Where were those kids' parents during election time? They failed to elect upstanding people to their board who would put their children first. And yet I (& my neighbors and their children) were the ones who were going to have to pay for their mess up by having larger classes and less funds to go around? Now you tell me how fair that is?
I do feel bad for these children but that doesn't make a parent lying about where they live any more legal or any more fair to the parents & children who are living in a district and going to school there legally.

It is admirable, as a parent, to want the best for your children. It is sad to have too break the law to do it. I am certain she is not the only one who has done this. I remember a boy whose address was actually his grandma's and his mother drove him over every morning, on the way to work. My son knew him in middle school.
We live in Gwinnett because when we looked, 20 years ago, we were impressed with the public schools. I have seen a lot of schools and do not think there is one that is perfect.
My husband commutes 45 miles O/W to work, so that our kids could go to the public school here. We did have that choice, when we were looking. We could move now but we have 7 years left on the mortgage and plan to stick it out.
Neighborhoods that have a high percentage of rentals are not typically close to the best schools. This is generally why solid neighborhoods fight apartments.
If you look at this web page:
you can learn a lot about most schools. Incidentally, our elementary school ( that is less than 2 miles away) has dropped in the numerical rating of test scores. We have many new apartments that have been built in the past 10 years. I do see that the parent rating is still very strong!
madmommy…to me a school is only as good as the parents who send their kids and want to be involved to make it a success. I am not talking helicopter parents. You should be able to visit schools and get a feel for this.
January 31st, 2011
8:54 am
As I understand it, the woman used her father's address, which means that he was paying the taxes for her kids to attend school. What she did was illegal, but on the other hand, she wasn't taking money away from another child – her father would be paying the same property taxes regardless.
In my "lost" post, I talked about school choice. It is something that needs to be addressed, and it needs to happen now. There is no reason why the child should have to follow the money versus the money following the child, and if we have school choice, then it's not the people who can afford to live in the better districts or send their kids to private school who are the only ones who can get a good education for their children. Contact your state representative about this – it's a hot issue right now, immediately following the rally at the capitol last week.

OBVIOUSLY it says we do little more than pay lip service to the education most of the time. Teachers got another 2% cut I hear. SO why would anyone want to teach?
The systems need an overhaul. Parents need to be involved….and each school needs parents on a committee (not the PTA) that works on the school budget that is sent to the district/state office for approval.

Tying to figure out why her race is so important. The first sentence is a reference to her race. Are you trying to say that only an African American would do this? Or are you just surprised that there is actually an African American that cares about her child's education? Being stuck in a bad public school is not just a black issue. There are whites as well as other races stuck in this same situation. Should she be treated different because she is African American? Should it be an issue, because she is African American? Don't think so. It is about a parent that broke the law, because she was unhappy with the neighborhood school.
January 31st, 2011
9:38 am
You are right on point. I know plenty of white parents who've done the exact same thing (and in some cases didn't got to jail if they did get caught). I don't agree that she lied but I am with her on wanting the best education for her daughters as ANY white parent would want for their children.
January 31st, 2011

I moved to get my daughter into a better school. We were in DeKalb and I did not want her in DeKalb schools, or Cobb, or Clayton. So I moved us to Gwinnett County. Berkeley Lake Elementary, Duluth Middle (only one year), Lanier Middle & on to North Gwinnett. I specifically bought the house we are in now, so she could go to North Gwinnett. I had heard wonderful things about that school, from friends, so I knew I was making a good move.
I tried to sell my first house during the summer my daughter was out of elementary and going into middle school. That didn't happen and she ended up going to Duluth Middle, then the house sold the summer she came out of 6th grade. The timing was good, it happened during the summer, and she was able to make a few friends before starting a new school.
She has a few professers in college who LOVE the fact that she was from Gwinnett County Schools.

My Grandfather said they would not give me an old car when I turned 16. Why? Because I wouldn't appreciate unless I paid for it.
I apply this same logic to most government hand-out programs.
This Mother didn't appreciate her home school. She wasn't working to make it better. She didn't appreciate the education for a better life she was working on. She threw it away for 9 days in jail and to make a point.
What would I do? I would move. Easily.

When we lived in Gwinnet county, I got a permissive transfer so my daughter would not go to a middle school that was failing. I was responsible for transportation since we were not on the bus route. It was not difficult and we had to apply for the permissive transfer each year. I felt it was my best option and thankfully learned about it the last week of elementary and was able to get the application submitted and approved in a week.
I want to applaude the mother for caring about about her daughters education, but…. were there other options she could have taken? Is it right to lie to get what you want? Is is alright to lie if your doing it for the good of your children?
Didn't Henry County have this same issue a few years ago, with many families lying about there address to keep their children out of Clayton County Schools? or was it the other way around?
January 31st, 2011
10:09 am
@LM yes Henry had the same issue when Clayton lost accreditation… I know my post was long but that was exactly my point. It was unfair to the kids in our district to have so many kids from Clayton Co. bombarding them for teachers, space, time, resources, etc. The county investigated every "affidavit" that was signed stating the child lived in the district. Many were sent back home and there were a few who were prosecuted.
January 31st, 2011

This article has been vigorously discussed on the Get Schooled blog. The bottom line, she had the opportunity to settle and NOT have a felony conviction. She CHOOSE not to.
Everyone pays property taxes. But because I don't have children, it would be okay for someone to use my address to get into a better school? Sorry, that's not the way it works.
What did the parent do to try and make her school better? Did she volunteer at the school? Did she organize some other parents to get involved? Did she try and move her children to a better school in her district? What did she do to enhance her children's education– did she take them to museums or the library?
Schools are a reflection of the surrounding community. The community must get involved for a school to be successful.

@ LM…people are lying all over the place and children are watching.
Some folks are lying on their car registrations, they register them in another county to save on the tag fee….this has been going on for years.
Recently, I am disappointed in the integrity of people. I see a major slide in manners and common courtesy. It is all about doing what is best for ME…no matter what! This will bite folks in the butt when they are not on the receiving end.
TWG…have you sent me Misty's e-mail?
@ Spacey…we use that logic with our kids. My daughter's room mate got a brand new 2011 Accord. She drives a 2002 Civic with car payments. Not sure everyone is buying into your Grandfather's idea: I wouldn't appreciate unless I paid for it

Interesting…The Washington Post is sure that white parents don't go to jail for the same crimes. We should have statistics demonstrating how many white,hispanic, asian, and blacks committed this crime and how many of each race went to jail. Aimlessly throwing up the race card is a little overdone.
January 31st, 2011
10:22 am
Personally, for me, I don't think I'd commit fraud to get my child in a better school. I'd either find a way to move, or augment with learning at home. I think it said she was studying to be a teacher, right?
January 31st, 2011
10:26 am
Whatever on the race thing. She was made an example because she REFUSED to either take her children out or pay for the difference. So she got thrown in jail. A white mother would have had the same chances and the same result. Get off your high horse.

January 31st, 2011
10:43 am
This is a real "fence-straddler" for me. I listened to a piece on NPR last week regarding this case, and I've been thinking about it a lot. I don't blame the mom one bit and I DO NOT think she deserves a felony conviction for what she did. However, people shouldn't be allowed to lie and use services and parts of a system where they don't contribute or pay taxes. As someone who pays HIGH property taxes and chose to do so because I have several good public school choices immediately around me, I would be infuriated if my child either didn't get into a good charter school or couldn't go to a good regular elementary school due to capacity issues and then found out that a certain percentage of those students shouldn't even be there. Basically I have FAR less of a problem with this woman because her father lives in the district, pays property taxes in the district but has no child in the schools there. As someone who grew up and never used the public schools in my hometown, that part of it hits close to home. My parents have always -and my dad continues to do so -paid enormous amounts of property taxes because of the land they own there. They have never had a child in school there and never will. So, I think factors like that should count for something in a case like this.
On the other end of the spectrum -I wonder how anyone ever expects schools and school districts that are faltering to get any better if the parents who care and the decent students are always removed from them? This was the HUGE problem I had with Dekalb's old M to M (minority to majority) system where you basically had the top 10-20% of good students on south Dekalb schools, who could lead a school and help bring it up, leaving it to go to a "good" school in the north end of the county. I also don't understand why this mother couldn't have rented an apartment or house IN this school district instead of living where she does. We were basically trying to decide between unincorporated Dekalb and city of Atlanta when buying our home, and unincorporated Dekalb automatically meant private school. Even with our taxes, they're much less than two private school tuitions! But people need to think about it when they're deciding where to live. So, I see both sides, but I still think a felony conviction is ridiculous -particularly when this woman is trying to better herself by becoming a teacher and a felony conviction will ruin that for her. So great -it's better to have her on public assistance or in jail where we have to pay to support her? Some common sense should be exercised here.
January 31st, 2011
10:44 am
Also to note: there were approximately 100 students investigated. 3 families paid the tuition to keep their kids there. The rest either proved residency or admitted guilt and left. Williams-Bolar is the only one who decided to take the issue to court. The district didn't go after her because she was black- they went after her because she falsified documents!
She KNEW her future as a teacher was at risk if she was convicted of a felony and yet she still chose to fight this case?? Why not fight her actual school board & administration for a better school? Or better yet, partner with them to build a better school!!
January 31st, 2011

Here is the reality for many parents, especially during this economic climate. There are no gurantees when it comes to selecting a place to live based upon the schools districted for your neighborhood when you chose your home. You can be redistricted. The school's performance can drop. Sure, in a more favorable economy, you can simply sell your home and move or if you're a renter, try to find affordable housing (which is difficult and nearly impossible) in a good school district. Or, you can chose private school.
When my husband and I bought our home, our neighborhood elementary school was one of the best in the county. Since moving in, our subdivision has subsequently been redistricted 3 times, each time placing us in a worse district, despite citizen/parent complaints. When our child became school age, we were forced into a no win situation, either place her in the low performing, overcrowded school in our districtt, sell our home (value tanked like many Atlantans), or somehow figure out how to pay a private school tuition. So, like some of the boards posters, we are somehow scraping up her tuition, by driving ancient cars, eating cheaply, etc. And to boot, we have a 45-1 hour commute one way to her school each day. Thankfully, we are able to make this choice.
But I tell this story to say this: What happens to the parents who CAN"T afford private school tuiotion? What if they CAN'T afford to live in the best school district? Are there kids doomed to a crappy education? Yes, my moralistic colleagues, the mom did the wrong thing for the right reason, but it's easy to sit back and make moralistic suppositions if you've never been in the situation. Our state's public education system ( as evidenced by our national rankings) are absolutely pathetic and are doing our precious children and us tax paying parents a HUGE disservice. Instead of cutting funds to public education, we need to clamoring that MORE funding be applied so that all of our kids have access to a world class education.
To answer the initial question: I can't say that I wouldn't have seriously considered doing the same thing as this mom, if I were in her shoes.

Hmmm -I'm also curious as to why her race is not only referred to right off the bat in this article but was also the first descriptor in the NPR piece I heard. White people, Hispanic people and Asians do this too! How about " A mom spent nine days in jail….." Our society is always going to have racial issues very much believed and furthered by stereotypes because constantly inserting people's racial profile into every article and news story about them makes whatever issue it is about race -even subconsciously. Unless it's pertinent to the story (and I fail to see why it is here) -it needs to be dropped. Until society tells EVERYONE -"Hey -this is where you live. Here are the schools. Start giving a damn, pay attention, show up and make them better because we can only throw so much money at them and it doesn't seem to be helping anyway," bad schools and bad school districts are not going to get better!

In City of Atlanta schools, as long as a school isn't at capacity from children in the district anyone living in the city of Atlanta can request and be transferred into that school -no charge, nothing but a simple form to fill out. There are several VERY good elementary schools that are far under capacity right now. Near my neighborhood there is one horrible elementary school that is AT capacity and two nearby (one VERY close) elementary schools that are nowhere near capacity with good programs, good test scores and great teaching and administrative staffs. It shows me how much many parents are paying attention that they continue to send their children to a sorry school (and this is a school mired in the cheating scandal with a principal who is being investigated for several issues) instead of transferring them to decent schools.

@ JJ I hear you on buying where you want the kid to go. When I bought last year I took a map. I drew a circles of different colors (one for each HS district)….I told the Realator "red, blue, and green are prime areas! orange and yellow are alternate. My house is in those circles." ( I had further refined the HS areas to the ES I was willing to send them too). Realator came back a few times and said "How about this…." I would say which circle is it in….when he said it isn't I said "Not my house."
It took a good bit of time, but I am in a house I love….Seriously if I won Lotto I would still want my house (although I would get some landscaping in the back done). It is in a school district (Blue so 2nd choice!) I wanted for the kids. Oldest as 3.5 years until she gets to that HS but that is ok!
Granted, it is in Cobb.

TWG–no all kids do not deserve the same education. It is that kind of thinking that got us in this mess. Now the education should be based on ability…so how about VOUCHERs to send kids based on how they test to different schools.

Sheesh. Why such heavy AJC coverage of this local Ohio issue? This was already discussed last week (with 231 comments) on the Get Schooled blog. Discussed twice if you count the follow-up about Muscogee Co., Georgia, planning to prosecute parents for illegal enrollment.

We know that there are ways to find alternate schooling for your child. If schools have openings in this area, you can apply for a slot. There is also hardship, etc. Private school is another option. We have our youngest in private for just this reason. Public schools did not have the resources to handle his disabilities to our satisfaction. We have used our savings, have 10+ year old cars, no great vacations, etc to pay for it but we wanted to give him whatever we could to help him succeed.
The point is that there are alternatives.

At the end of the day, the question still remains, why aren't our schools equal? I can't blame the mother for wanting a better choice for her children and seizing an opportunity.
I have women in my neighborhood who are in school now majoring in elementary education and won't work in certain schools in the city where the need is. They want to work in schools close to home with children that look like them. I ask them all the time, why do you want to teach? Of course, they don't have a good answer.
I do wonder why didn't she just move in with her father.
Remember the story a few years ago about the mother who sent her kids to Marietta City schools?? She had an empty apartment in the district and after researching they told her the kids couldn't stay. So, just renting in the district is not enought.
January 31st, 2011

There is no guarantee or promise of equal education in this country. What is guaranteed is an 'adequate' education. The definition of 'adequate' in this case is clearly defined, and public schools that don't meet those standards are identified, and lose their accreditation. There is local reference for this, in Clayton County and Atlanta Public Schools.
A school system well-supported by tax revenues benefits, and has facilities, curricula and staff that may well exceed the average and median. Even the average and median may well exceed the definition of 'adequate'. One may think this is unfair to poor people. Lots of things are unfair to poor people.

I wonder if her father actually PAYS property taxes anyway (as if it matters). Many older people do not have to pay school taxes, but don't know how it is in OH. Do know that when she had a chance to make it right, she didn't. She deserves what she got. She stole from other taxpayers.
Should I be allowed to put my child in Mary Lin Elementary because my uncle's wife's sister has a house there and isn't "using" her share of the school, so I "claim" it?
I have always prioritized where I live based on the schools. "Mama" prioritized ripping off others. Her choice; she pays. Perhaps she will learn; she hasn't shown herself to be a quick learner so far.

Here, we have School Choice, but they only take so many students, and it could close at any time – depends on the town and whether they want to participate. And, you can't use busing, you're driving your kid wherever you chose to have them attend school.

@ABC: Are you being facetious? Or are you that fatalistic? That type of attitude signals precisely why the next generation of Americans may have a significantly more difficult time in competing with our global counterparts, particularly in the areas of science and technology. In countries such as China and India, where the emphasis on providing a quality education begins almost from birth and is a priority both for parents and govermnent, our second rate public education system simply cannot compare. The world is much, much bigger than Georgia or the U.S. If we turn out mediocre, substandard students, then that is the country that we will create for ourselves.
I'm stunned at the paralell universe that some folks live in…..seriously….

Just out of curiosity, would 'settling' have given her a felony also? If so, then fighting it in court was also a fight for her future job. I don't blame her for trying to get her children the best education she could. 'Fighting for her school' probably wouldn't have change anything in time to help her own kids' education.
Personally, I think she should have tried to work out something with her father to pay him rent or something in order to live at his house until she finished her education. Then she could, hopefully, be able to afford to live in a better district.

That's the way it's ALWAYS been, Erica. Perhaps you've never been poor enough to have real visibility into it.

Part of my high school's district ran the County Line between the Dekalb and Gwinett portions of Stone Mountain.
We had many kids that lived in Dekalb go to our high school. The addresses were almost indistinguishable, and this was obviously before Google Earth told the world exactly where your house was with the click of a button.
I guess my high school administration either didn't care or was too lazy to drive out to the "borderline" addresses to see if the students' houses were actually on the Gwinnett side of Stone Mountain.
In any case, I understand wanting the best for your child. It's a shame they threw the book at this lady if this was all there was to the situation. Makes me wonder if there was more to the story.
By the way, the only time I ever remember someone being busted for living in Dekalb Coutny was because the child was an athlete and another school reported the violation to prevent the child from playing for Parkview.

I lived in Korea for about a year, maybe longer. There are some dishes that I really liked, and some that I crave even though it's been years since living there. I move a lot, but thankfully can usually find a Korean market. :)
I had some unexpected guests for Thanksgiving. The wife is Korean, and I was able to make some Korean food for her. She loved the Sujunggwa I made that I learned here. We had a great time cooking in the kitchen, and I showed her your website. They'll be back for Christmas, and I think I'll make Japchae and the ginger cookies- Maejakgwa, and of course some more Sujunggwa!
And now, even though I can't say the names of the dishes right, I can make it.
Thank you!

As with any venerable group, League of Women Voters must work diligently to ensure sustainability by increasing membership. The League of Women Voters of New Jersey is no exception. One of their members shared, "[the League is determined not to allow] a wonderful old organization to fade into the sunset. "
The NJ League's existing members pooled their talent and redoubled their efforts. The organization has implemented many programs including new voter service efforts, the Running and Winning program and civics internship programs. They have participated in community fairs, created new websites and published newsletters. Although these efforts boosted membership and community visibility, the League was still hungry for more strategies to create an even more successful organization.
To that end, the League joined the Membership and Leadership Development (MLD) Program. Leaving the training sessions feeling invigorated and employing the structured guidance they received in the MLD Handbook, these League members were able to learn and brainstorm new coaching tips to jump start their membership recruitment efforts.
Through these trainings, members were able to acknowledge areas in which they were successful, as well as to explore areas they could improve. This was all made possible because, as one member stated, "LWVUS recognizes our situation and has created a streamlined, twenty-first century program to support us. The brand is worth preserving!"
Back at home, they put their new knowledge to the test by creating plans for action. The New Jersey League found their improvements in the form of creating events to incorporate pressing current issues, which inspired potential members to get involved and bring more leaders to the team. Through the MLD training, members better understood "how the League program could be expanded with something for all of their members," new and established alike.
Moving forward from the MLD training, the LWV of New Jersey stated, "We are now more aware of what we are doing and we have revitalized hope for the future of our League." With this renewed enthusiasm, the NJ League experience exemplifies the same benefits all Leagues have the potential to gain by experiencing the MLD Training Program.
Want to grow your League? Through the MLD program, the League is becoming more effective and more powerful in communities throughout the nation. The MLD program is funded by the Fund for Local League Growth.
Give to the fund and help grow the League in your community. For more information about the MLD program and how to participate, please contact Shauneen Grout at email@example.com.

Viking River Cruises has announced the refurbishment and renaming of four Russian vessels as part of their 15th anniversary celebrations next year.
The ships will be renamed Viking Rurik, Viking Helgi, Viking Ingvar and Viking Truvor and will make up the only fleet in Russia entirely owned and operated by a Western company.
Viking Rurik has been named after the Viking warrior who founded and ruled 'Rus' (now Russia) and its sister ships have been named after Rurik's descendants, the original Russian explorers.
"Of all places in the world, we started in Russia. In fact, the idea for our company was born because my daughter had travelled along the Volga with her mother and grandmother," said Torstein Hagen, founder and chairman Viking River Cruises.
"We're immensely proud of our Russian roots and we continue to build upon our longstanding relationships and intricate knowledge of this captivating country so that we can share it with new travellers year after year."
With increased space in staterooms slated as part of the refurbishments, Viking Rurik will also welcome full private balconies for all staterooms on the upper and middle decks along with separate sleeping and sitting areas for two-room Suites.
Two-room Suites will also feature two Sony 26-inch panel televisions, a walk in wardrobe and full bathroom complete with two sinks, a separate bathtub and shower.
Scandinavian décor is on the cards for public areas including the restaurant, lounge, library and bar along with the addition of a shaded sun deck and walk-round open air promenade deck.
The four Russian ships will sail the 13-day 'Waterways of the Czars' itinerary on a round trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Visiting ports including Kizhi Island, Uglich and Yaroslav, Viking will introduce a range of new shore tours and special performances by musicians from St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre.
Passengers will also be privy to new cultural highlights including meeting Red Army veterans at Moscow's Military Museum and home-hosted visits in riverside towns including Uglich and St. Petersburg.
Viking River Cruises offers an all-inclusive offering incorporating accommodation, onboard meals, daily guide shore tours, shipboard gratuities, port charges and more.
Renewed Russian offering for Viking

Lady Gaga Goes Bjork With Upcoming App Album ARTPOP
It looks like Lady Gaga is going to go all Bjork on us with the release of her next album, ARTPOP (due out next year). Yup, like the Icelandic singer before her, she's releasing the new tunes in app form, what she promises to be a "multimedia experience." No word, however, on if her iteration will include custom instruments and the like (as did Bjork's Biophilia).
Lady Gaga let loose the announcement Wednesday via her website and her Pinterest-esque social community, Little Monsters. Check it out below:
Im excited to tell you all that ARTPOP is going to be a multimedia experience that comes in different forms. The most major way to fully immerse yourself in ARTPOP is through the APP. ARTPOP will be released as an IPAD, iPhone, mobile and computer compatible application (WORLD) that is completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, gaga inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works! I will also be able to upload new things to the APP all the time, the same way i upload to twitter and LM.com. You inspired me to create something that communicated with images, because YOU do, YOU communicate with me and each other with .gifs and pictures, and artwork, graphics ALL DAY 24/7/ YOU'RE an ARTPOP generation. Im hoping you will all continue to grow together and stay connected through your creativity. much love.
love, gaga
p.s (start asking for IPADS FOR XMAS!!) its gonna be so fun. but dont worry. it will also be released in the regular physical and digitals which will be unique and different to the app.
Gaga's Little Monsters social network opened to all users in July after about six months in closed beta. The site is the first project from Backplane — a startup founded in part by Lady Gaga's manager, Troy Carter — and allows fans to share and create content related to Gaga. We imagine — given her post above — that the forthcoming apps will be connected to or at least pull from that pre-existing fanbase.

ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) - The investigation into the cause of a massive Allouez apartment fire is picking up steam Monday.
"We have a team of investigators taking a second look at the building and then start dismantling the building piece by piece with heavy equipment," says Green Bay Metro Fire Department Lt. Nick Craig. "The hope here today is to get into the basement, they believe the fire did start in the basement and they will examine every piece of equipment that's down there and any potential cause of fire."
Craig says they will focus on the area near the chimney, but it may move to other heavily-burned parts of the building.
It could take up to a few days to go through the wreckage and try to positively identify the cause, as between 30 and 35 people look on.
"Everyone from fire investigators to legal representatives, insurance companies, anyone who has touched the building," said Craig.
At the end of this step, Craig says they could be back where they started.
"Unfortunately we could still be at that state of we don't know for sure what caused it," said Craig. "And if we don't know without a doubt what caused this fire, and the event that led up to it, we have to put it down as undetermined."
The fire back on May 23 caused more than $3 million in damage and put over 100 people out of a home.

Christopher Alexander's Influence On Architects
I've been wondering what influence Christopher Alexander has had on the community of architects. His influence on software development is obvious to me as a software developer, but I've never seen his name mentioned outside the design patterns movement.
In a private email, Nikos Salingaros, who is a professor of mathematics, an architectural and urban theorist, and also a friend and colleague with Alexander, wrote:
Alexander is despised by the mainstream architectural community, precisely as Jane Jacobs is, because they showed that architects and urbanists became antiarchitects and antiurbanists after the second world war. Nevertheless, the New Urbanism and New Architecture movements have Jacobs and Alexander as their heroes. They are still in the minority, but rapidly gaining ground.
This confirmed my suspicions (about Jane Jacobs as well).

The FBI says it was involved in a fatal shooting near Universal studios in Orlando, FL, early Wednesday.
CBS News correspondent John Miller, a former FBI assistant director, says the victim was "someone (the agency was) looking at in connection with (Boston bombings suspect) Tamerlan (Tsarnaev), based on contacts they had."
In a statement Wednesday, the FBI said, "We are currently responding to a shooting incident involving an FBI special agent. The incident occurred in Orlando Florida. The agent encountered the suspect while conducting official duties. The suspect is deceased. We do not have any further details at this time. We expect to have more information later this morning."
Tsarnaev, the older of the two Boston bombings suspects, was killed in a shootout with police outside Boston in the days after the Marathon bombings.
Tamerlan's younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was arrested in connection with the bombings, which left three people dead and wounded 275.

Categories > Anime/Manga > Gundam SEED
As Circumstances May Require0 Reviews
If it's not broken, don't fix it, but what do you do about the damage you can't fix? Mwu and Murrue and some after-hours maintenance, sometime after GS phase 46.
Or else they simply had more important things to worry about lately.
To Murrue Ramius, from her vantage overlooking the hangar, it seemed that the whole ship lay under the weight of a growing tension. She could almost feel the war building to some sort of violent crescendo, and if she could feel it - she, who was not by any means the most experienced member of the Archangel's crew even if she was its captain - she was sure that everyone felt it. Even maintenance - perhaps especially maintenance, who went about their work with the Strike and the Buster looming over them, the safety of the ship and everyone on it resting on their armored mechanical shoulders.
They made an impressive sight, even standing immobile in the hangar, stoically awaiting the next battle, but Murrue's concerns were more for the infinitely more vulnerable shoulders of their pilots, on which, she thought, fell the greatest pressure of all.
The Strike's cockpit stood open, and though Murrue couldn't hear anything from this distance, she had the impression that a smaller and more personal war was being waged inside. It wasn't out of character for Mwu la Fllaga to put in extra hours making sure that his mobile suit was in perfect working order... but lately, it was as though the Strike had offended him somehow. He'd been a phenomenally bad patient - she'd expected no less - but even in the few days since both he and the Strike had been declared fit for duty again, there'd been something off... fine cracks showing in the glossy surface of his outward confidence.
Watching from the catwalk, Murrue wondered if maybe she'd leaned on him a little too much over the past months, even if she couldn't quite bring herself to regret it.
She spent a few more moments contemplating the Strike, all dull greys without its phase shift armor activated like a statue of itself, but really she'd already made up her mind about her course of action. Presently she straightened, and ducking under the railing she stepped off into open air, letting inertia carry her through the zero-gravity to the Gundam's cockpit. Catching the edge of the hatch with one hand to stop herself, she tapped her knuckles against the Strike's armor plating in a polite one-two-three, and then slid herself into the open space without waiting for an invitation.
Mwu had pulled open the casing that housed the Strike's computer system, halfway up to his elbows in what passed for the mobile suit's brainstem. When her shadow fell across the cockpit's interior his head jerked up, turning towards her with a look of surprised inquiry and a faint lingering irritation that Murrue didn't really think was meant for her.
"It's late to still be working," she said. "Is there a problem with the Strike?"
"It hasn't been right since the last round of repairs." He ducked his head, hands fussing about in the guts of the console. "The responses were off during the last test."
The last test had been nearly flawless. Murrue had seen that for herself, standing by Miriallia's console to watch the readings as Mwu launched the Gundam and put it through its paces, with careless disregard for the doctor's recommendation that he take it easy for a little longer.
If it's not broken, went the platitude, don't fix it, but the platitude didn't offer any suggestions on what to do about the damage you couldn't fix.
"Shall I take a look?" Murrue offered, and couldn't help but smile at the blank look that earned her. "How many hours have you been staring at that? My eyes are fresh. Besides, before you pushed me into the captain's seat, I was a fairly competent technician."
Mwu's brows lifted, a dubious look that should have been a little insulting but which Murrue found endearing instead for no reason she could think of, except that it was Mwu. "Which one of us was assigned to the G-weapon project," she pressed, before he could do more than open his mouth, "you or me?"
He closed his mouth again and sat still for a long, quiet interval, before finally settling back into his seat with an audible exhalation of breath. "Go ahead," he told her, voice heavy and disgruntled. "I don't really know what I'm looking for in there anyhow."
No, thought Murrue, with an unexpected little pang, I don't imagine that you do.
"I'll need a little more room," she told him, pulling herself farther into the cockpit. He blinked at her as though it hadn't occurred to him, and then pushed himself out of the pilot's seat and wedged himself into the space behind it instead - an uncomfortable fit, Murrue had reason to know, but she hadn't really expected anything else. This was trust enough, that he'd let her tamper with the delicate inner workings of the machine on which his life depended.
"If you're going to be hovering over my shoulder," she said mildly, "would you mind holding a light for me?"
Maybe he'd irked her just a little with that dubious look after all.
She really didn't expect to find anything out of place when she bent down to investigate the inside of the console. Kojiro Murdoch and Erica Simmons knew their business, and Mwu had made it his personal mission, after he'd taken over the rebuilt Strike in Orb, to learn the mobile suit inside and out. But of course that wasn't the point.
In any case, there was something pleasant about the simple routine of checking each cable and connection and circuit, feeling her way along a cord to its end to undo and check and reseat it, conscious of Mwu watching over her shoulder every time he adjusted the portable light to better illuminate the spot she was working on. She'd joined the military as a technician, but since Heliopolis her responsibility had been to the human components of her ship. Machines were less complicated, each part with its own function; assemble the parts in the correct order and the machine would work. People were delicate and unpredictable.
Although... there was something to be said for that human element, too. No matter how advanced the machine, once a part was broken or missing, the other parts would never grow into place to take up the load. A computer could not innovate solutions outside of its programming. Murrue pushed a fleeting thought of Natarle out of mind and focused on the task at hand, mentally mapping the insides of the console as she checked each connection, searching with scrupulous thoroughness for crossed wires, kinked cables, scorched circuitry and dust, the process repetitive and soothingly monotonous. Somewhere along the way she started humming under her breath, one of the ridiculous little songs that had made the rounds in officer training.
Don't start an interstellar war; it has no helpful uses... If people ask you what's it for, you'll only make excuses... If thirty trillion folks get hurt, you'll go to bed with no dessert... Morbid, she supposed... but whistling in the dark was better than screaming into it, wasn't it?
Don't start an interstellar war.
When the light shifted again and Mwu's forearm propped against her shoulders, she smiled to herself and kept humming. And mind your manners, as circumstances may require...
Only when she'd gone over every last component within the console did she finally replace the casing, securing it back into place and giving it a pat before straightening up and wiping imaginary dust from her hands.
She craned her head around to look back toward Mwu and found him watching her curiously, some of the underlying tightness eased from his expression. "What's the diagnosis, Captain Doctor?" he wondered.
"Well..." She tucked her legs up beneath her, turning about in the seat to face him. "We can call Erica over from the Kusanagi to give it a full vetting-out if you want... or have Kira check the OS..."
Mwu made a disgruntled noise low in his throat, mouth twisting.
"...but in my professional opinion? This machine is fine." Murrue paused a beat, watching him watch her face. "Its pilot, on the other hand," she added lightly, "needs rest... because he is still recovering from his injuries, and is under a lot of pressure."
He said nothing. A little frown tugged at the corners of his mouth, as though perhaps he couldn't quite decide whether or not to object.
"Mwu." She said it quietly, reaching to lay her hand on his shoulder. "You have nothing to prove."
Another long interval passed in silence.
The breath went out of him in an audible rush, and his shoulders loosened a little. Hand closing on her upper arm, he leaned in over the back of the pilot's seat to lay the side of his face against hers.
"Thanks," he murmured.
She curled her arm around his shoulders, angled her head towards him for a glancing kiss. "Any time."

Bureau of Engraving & Printing
A new collection of products featuring the 2007 Presidential $1 Coins honoring the Presidents of the United States is being introduced. The United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set features the proof version of the Presidential $1 Coin and a Presidential intaglio print from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The product is presented in a textured, leather-like folder which opens to reveal the intaglio print and the official Presidential signature. A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each United States Mint Historical Signature Set.
The United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set – George Washington – is the first in this new collection. This product features a proof coin which is extraordinarily brilliant, with sharp relief and a mirror-like background. The frosted, sculpted foreground gives a special cameo effect. An image of President George Washington appears on the obverse of the coin and the reverse features a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. The Presidential $1 Coins also feature edge-incused inscriptions of the year, "E Pluribus Unum," "In God We Trust," and the mint mark. The size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coins are identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. Each coin is mounted in a removable capsule.
Visible from the cover of the United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set is the Presidential intaglio print of George Washington printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Opening the cover reveals the official George Washington Presidential signature, courtesy of the White House Historical Association.

With its lightweight storage and reliance on the cloud, the Toshiba Satellite CL10-B is like a tablet with a keyboard stuck on.
Pricing not available
For its second Chromebook, Toshiba shaved off as much chassis as possible without sacrificing screen size or quality -- and without jacking up the price.
Toshiba enters the growing Chromebook market with the first 13-inch model. It's a great size for switching between travel and home/office use and feels comfortable to type on, but other Chromebooks offer more features for the same price.
Unveiled at the Microsoft keynote at Computex 2014, the 7-inch Encore is basically the company's Android-based Excite tablet running Windows.
Pricing not available
Toshiba takes a solid premium 15-inch laptop and adds a great-looking 4K touchscreen while keeping the price reasonable. But at this point, it's mostly for bragging rights or early adopters.
The Yoga-like Radius has a 15.6-inch 1080p display, making it one of the biggest hybrids around.
The Toshiba L9400 4K television features a Full Array LED backlight in conjunction with a brighter panel, which should see a boost in picture quality.
Pricing not available
The L5400 is Toshiba's mainstream series with onboard wi-fi and a proprietary picture enhancement engine.

My second grade son is a sensitive fellow. I mean that in a good way, not that he cries or fusses easily. I got a glimmer of this side of him a few weeks ago when I was watching a TV special about the JFK assassination. I kept telling him it was too scary for kids, and for him to go out, but as usual that just piqued his interest. They ran the old videotapes of the television reporters breathlessly announcing that the president was dead, the footage of Jack Ruby lynching Oswald, all of it.
I finally turned it off and got him ready for his bath. He asked me a few questions about JFK and shooting and bad people, and seemed subdued. After I put him in the tub and left, I heard him crying softly. I didn't understand why at first, and like always he was reluctant to explain. But later on we talked some more, and he said that the program made him sad.
I believe that this was his first impression with evil, as opposed to mere childish meanness or discomfiture. He's interested in the Presidents, and he never understood before that Kennedy had been killed. The idea that someone could kill another person, especially a President, presented itself to him in its full ugliness, and his tender little soul recoiled at the thought.
I can't begin to imagine what he'll be when he grows up, only that I'm sure he'll grow up well.
This blog used to be the reactions of a reader of the conservative Catholic journal First Things to the many fine articles to be found therein. Now it's just another minor blog of staircase wit, from just another minor blogger who doesn't realize that blogging is dead. About the only notable thing about me is that I am a Christian conservative who loathes creationism in all its forms. Enjoy your visit.

Herbert Hoover won America's hearts and votes when he promised a college-educated chicken in every pot and a kayak in every garage. Get a taste of the American dream with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $30 for a self-guided tandem-kayak trip for two (up to a $66 value)
- $89 for a self-guided raft trip for up to six (up to a $180 value)
Pairs aged 10 and older can climb into two-person inflatable kayaks or up to six people aged 5 and older can pile into inflatable rafts to float along the Stanislaus River from the historic burg of Knights Ferry. Both float trips are approximately 8 miles long and will last four to six hours. All equipment is provided for each trip, and although both options are suitable for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike, all participants must be able to swim.
River Journey
For 29 years, the friendly and knowledgeable rafting staff of River Journey has outfitted visitors with the equipment and know-how to navigate the meandering waters of the picturesque Stanislaus River. Departing from Knights Ferry, guided and self-guided groups in fitted lifejackets bob under the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi in their inflated rafts or kayaks, paddling with provided paddles or hiring a flock of unemployed ducks to do the grunt work. Adventurers then splash through Class 2 Russian Rapids—where their pictures will be snapped for optional purchase at the end of their trip—before floating between Two Bluffs, marked on each side by towering basalt cliffs where swallows and blue heron nest. Rafts continue toward Lovers Leap, a sheer rock wall with a uniquely shaped peak, and through the Throw Rapid after a sharp right bend in the river. Through Horseshoe Park and along to slow, calm swimming holes, three- to five-hour trips draw to a close at Orange Blossom Park after conquering 8 miles of the dynamic waterway and performing celebratory run-ashore dances.

Does it happen to you that things you were thinking of became a part of your daily lives?
Hello everyone. My name is Koral, and I'm really sorry if my English is not accurate (I'm working on it :).
a few years ago I watched an amazing movie that totally changen my life wich called "the secret".
In short, the film deals with the many capabilities inherent in thought and imagination and their power to create a new reality. That is, the fact that things that we imagine, think and believe become to be our reality. I was wondering if anyone heard about this movie, apply the secret and it really worked. Would love to hear stories and experiences. :)

Jan 21 2013: 'you must work very hard, but without belive and positive thoughts you wont acheive nothing.'
Positive thoughts have limitations and do not effect third-party reality.
If you send an application for a job, happy thoughts about it do not change the statistical likeliness that you will get the job.
Its important that positive thoughts are limited to self motivation, otherwise it just results in self delusion, not objective achievement.
