Last night the Brewers fell to the power of the pierogies and lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates. They had their chances, a few leads went by the wayside and in the ninth inning they had Braun on first with nobody out and Prince Fielder at the plate. What happened? Well, Prince Fielder struck out on a high fastball that everyone in the world saw coming except for him and Braun got caught trying to take third on a steal after Andy Laroche did some sort of "Matrix stuff". And that, as they say, was the ballgame. But what exactly happened out there? Continue reading →

As we head into spring training I have a few random things I'd like to get off my chest. Nothing that really requires an entire post, but some thoughts I wanted to get out there nonetheless. This is the worst time to follow baseball. That's all I really have to say about it because this guy sort of nailed it already. And since I have nothing else to write in this intro.. Here. We. Go.

Gender roles in modern society (the one where we talk about banging a Brewer)
I have a question for the male readers of the site. Have you ever been pondering the offseason moves of the Brewers and thought to yourself "I am glad they re-signed Craig Counsell, he's kinda hot"? I mean, everyone has had that conversation with a friend that starts like "I know you're not gay, but..." and you immediately yell out "DONNIE FROM NEW KIDS!", right? And then after having that conversation you continue on to "Okay I know you are totally straight and stuff, but which Brewers player would you have sex with if you had to?" No? You've never had that conversation with one of your buddies? Not even once? Really? Well, I guess I'll just have to tell you about it then because Tyler and I have had that conversation many, many times and we'd like to share one with you. Why? Because we are so totally okay with our sexuality that we don't care who reads it! We don't care if the guys we are writing about making sweet love to us read it, we want them to! So, like, forward this to them. Please.
Vince: Hey Tyler, I've got a question for you that's been bothering me for awhile and I want your opinion on it. If you had to have sex with a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, who would it be? Continue reading →

Best of Miller Park Drunk 2009
Hey, it's time for one of those year end clip shows that you love so much. You know like that time on Full House when we saw how much we truly loved and appreciated Uncle Jesse after seeing those old clips. There was no need for him to move out of the house with his family, he could just live in the attic!
Miller Park Drunk has only been open a year, but we've published over 300 posts in that time period. Call this the best of 2009, call it The Beginner's Guide to Miller Park Drunk, call it whatever you'd like, here it is.
Don't You Forget About the Brewers: John Hughes, director of such classics as The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, died this year and the Brewers paid him a tribute.
LOLBREWERS: Can't decide which one was my favorite, either Yovanni's Big Day or First Place Edition.
The Happy Youngster is a douchebag who makes us all look bad: This post really put us on the map with links from Deadspin and other major blogs. It also inspired this idiot to call us "a blogger who gives drunks a bad name", sold a few t-shirts and was semi-popular on tumblr. Not my favorite, but definitely worth mentioning.
Brewers Flow Charts: I have no idea where this idea came from, but it's definitely one of my favorite of all time.
Witrado's Quest: One of the weirder endeavors we have ever done did a fine job of getting the Witrado hatred out of our system. Not that we like him now just that it doesn't bother us as much anymore.
THE RUNNING SERIES: I loved this if only because Brew Crew Ball to write:
"I'll link to the Ken Macha and Corey Hart chapters here...the other two are a little too obscene to even be linked from this site."
"If you have a vague interest in Brewer baseball, but wish there was less analysis and more profanity on this site, then Miller Park Drunk's RUNNING series might be just the ticket for you." Continue reading →

For Women, Cancer Spells Divorce
It looks like some men slept through the "in sickness and in health" part of the marriage vow. When a woman gets diagnosed with cancer, she's far more likely to end up divorced than if a man gets the same diagnosis.
Ronda Kaysen: According to a recent study, 21 percent of female cancer patients ended up divorced or separated after a cancer diagnosis. Compare that with the three percent of men who ended up in the same boat after their diagnosis, and you've got yourself one very lopsided picture.
When you take a closer look at the data, the story is even bleaker. In marriages that were on the rocks before cancer entered the equation, wives were more likely to put the brakes on a divorce when they found out their husbands were sick, whereas husbands did just the opposite when their wives got a bad bit of health news and jumped ship. The marriages that are most at risk are young ones. Couples who've been together for a long time tend to stick it out through illness.
"The striking part is with life-threatening illness, how often women are abandoned compared to men. That does not speak very well of my gender," Dr. Marc Chamberlain, who led the study, told The New York Times.
Chamberlain seems to think that women stick around because of their role in the family. After all, women tend to be the caretakers. "There clearly is an emotional attachment women have to spouse, family, and home that in times of stress causes women to hunker down and deal with it, while men may want to flee," he said.
This is not good news for women. People battling cancer need all the support they can get, and when husbands leave, women are less likely to try alternative treatments, stay on their medications, or get good hospice care, according to Chamberlain.
I can't imagine what it would be like to get a cancer diagnosis and then see your marriage -- and family support -- crumble around you. It's horrible to think that men would abandon their wives at the time they need family support the most.
|Ronda Kaysen is a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, BusinessWeek.com, Architectural Record, Huffington Post, New York Observer and AM New York. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
Let's not forget that 80% of the time, the guys are staying with their wives.
Of course, the guys who leave are jerks.
Alas, some of that 79% of men who are not divorcing their cancer-diagnosed wives are cheating on them. This happened to a friend (yes, an actual friend not a "friend of a friend") of mine. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and her husband's method of coping with it was to avoid her (because it's contagious?) and have an affair with a 20 year old while she was undergoing treatment. Happy to say she is fully recovered and has since dumped his sorry a**, but really, who needs to deal with that crap when you're fighting for your life?
Let's not forget the national average is more than double this. Which means that 50% less divorces are happening in this population.
further proving that men are jerks and nothing has ever really changed
So easy to be misandric in this venue, I'm sure; however, N, there are many more kind, loving, devoted husbands and fathers than there are men who divorce their wives who have cancer.
We are not in their lives, so to each of these invididual cases that exist in a very small segment of the population, you would blame one in a relationship based on their gender.
Let me ask you a completely logical question. If that indeed can be true, then then PLEASE explain how ALL women are not jerks, considering 70% of the divorces in the REST of the population are filed by women?
Since there is nothing logical about your statement, then there can be nothing logical about your response to the question. I've known more than a handful of men and women who have suffered from cancer, heart disease, brain tumors and HIV, and in none of those cases did their significant other abandon them.
No matter what statistics are used to prove a point one wants to prove, one cannot move to ALL (fill in race, religion, gender here) are anything as that would make you a racist, Nazi, or sexist. Although you don't want the label, you live up to the content.
I am one of those women. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my soon to be ex informed me that chemo and cancer were no big deal. He said he wasn't losing $160 to stay home with me when I felt sick after my 1st round of chemo. After almost 18 yrs. of marriage not once did he, his Mom, or his 4 sisters send a card or call to see how I was. He refused to pay support and had to go to court to get temporary support for me and my 2 children. He is refusing to pay the medical bills insurance doesn't cover and 6 weeks after my double masectomy told judge I should get full time job cause I was walking and talking. Prior to having cancer I was already on disability due to a back injury, but now with the cancer I'm all better! Oh yes and he has a girlfriend too!
I posted earlier. And yes I did do the filing because if I hadn't he would have been content to just continue on with his girlfriend and show up when he felt like it! I have 2 friends who have cancer whose husbands are cheating on them. they did not however file for divorce. Battling for my life is hard enough!!!
Icommented earlier. I did the filing, but he did the abandonement. He would have been content to leave things as they were and continue on with the abuse and have his girlfriend too. I have 2 friends who have cancer, they did not file for divorce but both their husbands are cheating on them.

20% isn't so bad in and of itself, I suppose, but seven times as many women as men isn't a great statistic. It's even more depressing that this scientifically trained doctor thinks that women just "have" an emotional attachment that men don't — as if it's biological. It's not. Women are socialized to be caretakers from the time are born, and taught to feel guilty if they do not fulfill those roles.
I tried to do all I could for my wife when she was diagnosed with cancer. It was after the chemo was done and she had a "clean" bill of health that she told me I had to move out. I'd never have left her, but she kicked me out.
omg people! get a life and stop with the men bashing and victimization foolishness!
people are jerks because they are just jerks. people are kind because they are kind - not b/c they are male or female. give me a break. bad things don't happen to good people - bad things just happen.
I really like your website. I appreciate your effort, have a nice day!
There is noticeably a bunch to know about this. I think you made various good points in features also.
There is visibly a bundle to realize about this. I consider you made certain good points in features also.
Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter.
You might have to repair your Blackberry Parts due to certain damages. For instance, the LCD screen may be damaged by water, a crack from dropping the phone or someone being too rough with their fingers.Also, any kind of damage to trackball makes it difficult to use the phone.
I was beeing after the Internet for this info and i wanted to thank you for the post. Also, just off topic, how can i find a copy of this theme? – 10x
Very helpful information. Thanks, I absolutely enjoy reading your post.

In order to encourage people to strive to be successful in their career, the government should find ways for them to show off their talents and skills. The support of the government is very important to materialize the plan of the artist. If the government will put up centers that will house the people who are talented and skillful to think and create things, it would be easy to select and train them for the futures competitions around the world. Knowing that people need to be push and be pressured for them to think and be confident enough to make things that will pass the standard of people. So if there is a place where they can share their gifts and talents without feeling timid it would be easy for them to display their creation.
In other countries art is supported by the government, and you can see it when you able to visit their art center. The design really suit to the climate that we have today. If artist lost appetite and learn that they don't have support from the government they neglect their talents and look for another job where they will be welcome by people. That is why there are many artists who end up into a different job. Whereas if the government encourages their contribution to the country they will continue their profession and will create more arts and crafts that will give recognition all over the world. Thus, art centers really help the artist to showcase their master pieces. Here they would be able to show to the people their new creation. This place symbolizes arts which show how creative people are.
Nowadays, important events such as concerts, plays and exhibits are held in this place. People who are involved in this event are member of the art. Most of their creations are unique, new and inventive that really amazes the people. Timeless creation, which captures the heart of many are exclusively exhibited in this place. Old and young artist are given an opportunity to showcase their creation in this place. How they made those beautiful things? How creative they are? All of us are given talents by god. This must be nurtured and shared to people around the world.
Now, if you think that you have a unique creation and you believe that people will love it, you can have an exhibit at the art center. Or, if you are looking for a place where you can stage your plays, art exhibit, concerts, and seminars there are art centers available in your place. Most of these places are owned by the government. They are built to cater the needs of the people when it comes to arts and sciences. So, if you are looking for the place for this event you can have your reservations before the date of the presentation to make sure that you would be given priority. This venue is not for free. They add reasonable prices to the organizer which depends on the events to be held. The proceeds of the activity are used to maintain the facility of the place. Thus, if the management lets you pay do not fret because this is the only way that they can earn money for public utility. They have different rooms suited for the events; just choose a venue appropriate to the event. Others issue a ticket and IDs to the visitors before entering. This is to make sure that the people inside the museum are safe. If you have any concern you can inquire at their office. They would be willing to give you a reservation, be it local or foreign events.

Our first order was not a gift. We had our ranch brand embroidered on the jacket. When relatives and empoyees saw the jacket they loved them. We eventually made four orders (approx 12 jackets!)The jackets are rather light weight which is good for mild winters, spring and fall, but a little more dressy than the usual work jacket that is common in this area of Oklahoma. The jacket has numerous pockets which comes in handy but you do have to pay attention as to which pocket you put things or you will end up thinking that you lost items.
Most Liked Negative Review
sharp but no LL bean quality for price
Great look, question the durability of ribbed cuffs and waste band for money. Pockets odd angle for daily use.

Please read the label about washing this jacket before you come in contact with something lighter in color. The dye rubs off very easily. Otherwise, this is a very nice, comfortable jacket.

It's all good
Close to Jackson Square
Excellent location, rooms are romantic and cozy. The staff were warm and friendly.
great location, great ac, was fun place to stay, great balcony
limited vending machines, office across street , never saw the pool,
I walked into my room with my wife by my side I saw her jaw drop at the sight of the most amazing interior of any hotel we have ever stayed in! The price was right for us and we thoroughly enjoyed being able to view the uncroweded st Phillip st from our 18th century balcony. I would trade the experience for the world.
Having to leave
Great location to everything. Parking was across the street which was nice. Pool was comforting. Room had a working fridge and breakfast service was a nice touch.
Room was dated and not what was represented in the pictures. Room was in the old part of the hotel. Bed was bouncy and uncomfortable. Window shades were old and dusty. Shower was acceptable but again dated. Room could have used a real makeover. Air conditioner had an on off switch. No ability to pick temp. Lobby was limited and staff was accommodating but not overly helpful. My companion kept saying we are staying at the "Hotel California". Nice location but kinda creepy.
Everyone was so kind and friendly. Service was great. Surroundings were beautiful and quaint. Close to everything.
Location is excellent.
If you are even considering going here don't bother. There are holes in the walls, poor management, shocking beds and every morning we were woken before 8am by staff outside our door talking and sanding the walls. We gave this place a chance and regretted it. I have travelled all over the world and have gotten better service and facilities in one star hostels.
Place and cosiness. Good parking facilities.
Air condition solution without self adjustment. Breakfast was too poor - not cosi at all. The front desk men was in an old dirty shirt - not proper! It smells very bad in the garden where the breakfast was served.
I loved how quaint the hotel was. We didn't want to stay in a chain hotel and Chateau really fit the bill! The hotel is in the center of all the action but still far enough away to get away when we wanted to.
We had a corner room and it was noisy. Next time we will ask for an inside room!
Everything was nice. Always choose Chateau if rooms are available there.
Having to climb a lot of stairs but still not too bad.
Great location: we could walk to most areas of interest or catch one of the traditional trams. Lovely pool area in quiet courtyard. Access to private balcony. Continental breakfast with fruit delivered to room by exceptionally lovely man.
Noisy and uncomfortable bed. Reception staff ranging from uninterested to outright rude whilst cleaners and porters were polite and friendly.
Location - within walking distance of all the things we wanted to see. Friendly staff. Swimming pool. Amazingly informative staff in the lobby. Ambience.
Nights were disturbed by horse & carriages right outside the window. (But this was part of the character of the hotel, having the carriage tours pass by, and made for great photos)
Great location! Close to everything we wanted to see and do. Staff did not intrude in the morning if you needed to sleep in.
Staff were not overly helpful. Drilling of some sort going on in the room next to us at 8 am. Mold all over the bathroom tile.
-Gates close at night to monitor who comes in and out of the hotel -Beyond accommodating staff -PERFECT location to literally everything you could want to be near -Beautiful old architecture My husband & I had the best time at this hotel. We will be staying again.
-HEAT! It was the hottest weekend of the year, apparently; but, there's nothing Chateau Hotel could have done about that.
great location
very filthy dirty hotel room baseboards with caked on dust long black hairs in the shower and on the floors had no towels one day and was told that we would just have to wait.
I really liked the location. In the Quarter, away from the hustle of Bourbon St. Clean room and pleasant staff
No complaints
perfect location.
no parking lot.
Great location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very nice courtyard with a clean pool. We will definitely stay here on our next trip.
No complaints.
A lot of things bothered us in that hotel : no curtain on the window, bad staff, breakfast only in the room and quiet minimal...but most of all, the manager was not nice at all ! We had a bad experience there at the end, we went to an other hotel, which was much better and cheaper in the same neighbourhood !
Helpful staff and location was good
Kind of a dingy feel. Seems like bathroom needs to be renovated not painted over or caulked over. Also the pool just needs chemicals. It would be so much better for the customers and the feel of the hotel.
The hotel is 260 years old and reminded me of the hotels I'd spent time in when in France and Italy. Antique wood in the room, old style lamps, balcony overlooking Chartres street (the best street in the quarter if you ask me). Loved the price too!!!! Great value.
There was street noise at night but I expected that and brought earplugs so it did not bother me as much. The building is very old and has the usual issues for such buildings (such as no elevator) but was SO worth the trade off of the benefits and charm. There is a bellman that brings your bags up to the second floor so no worries.
Loved the location!
Workers across the hall awakened us at 6:15 am scraping tile floors loudly!!!
The location, the very good bed, the modest but free continental breakfast delivered to your room, the friendly staff, the general old style charm of the place.
Slow drain in shower-- got fixed after first night but began to slow again during our week's stay. Curtains on the one street-level window were hard to open and close, didn't properly black out the street lamps, and had no inner curtain so pedestrians can see into the room clearly whenever blackout curtains are open.
Location and professionalism of staff

Gov. Nathan Deal today released the findings from the state's investigation into the Atlanta Public Schools and cheating on the CRCT.
Here is the statement from his office:
"Nothing is more important to the future of our state than ensuring that today's students receive a first-class education and integrity in testing is a necessary piece of the equation," said Deal. "When test results are falsified and students who have not mastered the necessary material are promoted, our students are harmed, parents lose sight of their child's true progress, and taxpayers are cheated. The report's findings are troubling, but I am encouraged that this investigation will bring closure to the problems that existed in APS and restore the focus on students and the classroom. As we begin to turn the page on this dark chapter in Atlanta Public Schools, I am confident brighter days lie ahead."
An outline of the findings of the investigation follows:
Thousands of children were harmed by the 2009 CRCT cheating by being denied remedial education because of their inflated CRCT scores. We found cheating in 44 of the 56 schools we examined (78.6%). There were 38 principals of those 56 schools (67.9%) found to be responsible for, or directly involved.
We determined that 178 teachers and principals in the Atlanta Public School cheated. Of the 178, 82 confessed to this misconduct. Six principals refused to answer our questions, and pled the Fifth Amendment, which, under civil law is an implied admission of wrongdoing. These principals, and 32 more, either were involved with, or should have known that, there was test cheating in their schools.
We empathize with those educators who felt they were pressured to cheat and commend those who were willing to tell us the truth regarding their misconduct. However, this report is not meant to excuse their ethical failings, or exonerate them from their wrongdoings.
The 2009 CRCT statistics are overwhelming and allow for no conclusion other than widespread cheating in APS. The BRC expert, Dr. John Fremer, wrote an op-ed article for the AJC in which he said there was widespread, organized cheating in APS.
The drop in 2010 CRCT erasures confirm the conclusion above. Cheating occurred as early as 2001.
There were warnings of cheating on CRCT as early as December 2005/January 2006. The warnings were significant and clear and were ignored. Cheating was caused by a number of factors but primarily by the pressure to meet targets in the data-driven environment.
There was a major failure of leadership throughout APS with regard to the ethical administration of the 2009 CRCT.
A culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation existed in APS, which created a conspiracy of silence and deniability with respect to standardized test misconduct.
In addition to the 2009 CRCT cheating, we found other improper conduct: several open record act violations; instances of false statements; and instances of document destruction.

If James Hafford, former Supt. from Dekalb county can step out of jail after 48 hours and return to being Suprintendant, after it being multiple offenses, then the Georgia Professional Standards Commission should be abolished. Who is to say that the PSC membership is PERFECT. These so called leaders in this State are a real farce! Principals and Administrators are ALWAYS exonerated by this supposedly ethics commission. I want all of the Professional Standards Members to submit to a lie detector test if they arae to pass judgement on anyone. As for the APS scandal, this is what you reap! As you sow, shall you reap! AlI of the Great Teachers that didn't cheat that APS, Board Members, and Brenda Muhammad (you were on the Board too), you threw them to the wolves and under the bus, with no hope of justice. Today, I am sure they feel vindicated! Deal needs to ABOLISH the entire SCHOOL BOARD OF APS, because all of this happened under their reign, and THEY DID NOT HOLD BEVERLY HALL ACCOUNTABLE. Mark Elgart with SACS sounds more like a politician. He had stepped outside of his boundary and the framework of SACS. Congress and Senate have differences in opinions and voting all the time. That is how the democratic process works. I guess Mark Elgart needs to put Congress on Probation too! All of this is too political. It is about$$$. Mark Elgart, not once has held Beverly Hall accountable. How much did he get paid? I want an open records request on how much money did SACS and Mark Elgart receive from APS? This too shall pass!!!!

Beverly Hall leaves town (and probably out of the country) at the end of her contract, THEN the report is released pointing towards her. Maybe others in government above her colluded and will never be revealed now that she is conveniently likely out of reach. A few scapegoats will suffer, and hands will be slapped – but Atlanta and Georgia politicians just want to "turn the corner" and "get this behind us".

School accreditation firm wields too much power
New law lets company manage school board
by Editorial Board
(From Creative Loafing)
Staff Illustration
Comments (11) On April 20, Gov. Nathan Deal signed a bill that gives him authority to replace members of the Atlanta school board by midsummer if the embattled system appears unlikely to shed its probationary status and regain full accreditation.
Hailing the move, Mayor Kasim Reed noted that a loss of accreditation "would cripple economic development and business investment in the city, region and state for years to come."
If only the governor's swift action can save our students and the city, then we'll be thanking our lucky stars come July that a bipartisan team of Atlanta legislators had the foresight to sponsor this bill.
But let's not fool ourselves into thinking this is anything but a setup with a predetermined outcome.
This isn't to imply that Deal, Reed — who lobbied for board-appointing power for himself — or state lawmakers have pulled a fast one. Arguably, they're playing the hand dealt them. However, rather than fixing any systemic problems within the school system, the new law only gives more influence to the private Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, its parent company, Alpharetta-based AdvancED, and, by extension, the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. None of which is good.
The SACS report that placed the Atlanta schools on probation in January was a shockingly slapdash document brimming with hearsay and raw opinion that made no mention of the system-wide test-doctoring scandal that's now the subject of state and federal investigations. Teachers and school administrators could end up in prison, but the SACS report would have you believe the system's only real problem is that its board members can't get along.
The board has, indeed, been squabbling since last fall, when a five-member majority led by current Chairman Khaatim El staged a coup because the previous board leadership — hand-picked and backed by the Chamber — had helped try to cover up the cheating scandal. In other words, board discord is merely a symptom, but SACS acts as if it's the disease.
Certainly, the 29-year-old El has not succeeded in uniting the board or getting members to work together on the problems at hand. And clearly, the infighting is likely to continue until the governor — or voters — cracks some heads and restores order.
But the new law effectively gives AdvancED CEO Mark Elgart the power to dictate who should lead the system, since a functional school board is what he says it is. If you don't believe Deal will take Elgart's advice into account, then we've got a surplus classroom trailer to sell you. El may as well start packing up his desk now.
Unfortunately, SACS holds all the cards in this situation. But once the state wraps up the cheating investigation, it should turn its focus on the accreditation firm, whose flimsily sourced report and Chamber connections put its objectivity in question. Also, the AJC recently reported that, in an October memo, Elgart urged El to give the chairman's seat back to his Chamber-backed predecessor, LaChandra Butler Burks.
Most troubling is Elgart's reported suggestion to El and Burks that the school system hire his company for "mediation and professional support services." If the Mob were proposing a scheme like that, it'd be called a protection racket.
By all means, let's do what we need to in order to maintain accreditation, but keep in mind that the board friction is but a sideshow. Once the investigation is over and indictments start coming down, the real trouble begins.

"There were warnings of cheating on CRCT as early as December 2005/January 2006. The warnings were significant and clear and were ignored. Cheating was caused by a number of factors but primarily by the pressure to meet targets in the data-driven environment."
This "data driven environment" was embedded into the schools by the failed NCLB legislature under Republican George Bush. Now we have RtTT under the Obama administration, where teachers are going to actually be measured on the "data driven envrionment".
Data is good; heck, data is great, but teachers rarely get to see any data in an amount of time that affords us the ability to do anything with it. So we get data, and then put it out there so that the teacher in the next grade level can see how far behind the student/s is/are. Then what?
Which begs to answer why, in said "data driven envrionment", we want to raise class sizes, lower the amount of days in the school year, and base teachers' pay and jobs on an annual test score (not a growth model).

Kudos to Neal Boortz who continuously warns parents about "Government Schools," like the Atlanta Public Schools. Let's see if the people involved and fired or charged with crimes or both. Why did the Atlanta School Board honor Hall's contract when they could have dismissed her last November? Hopefully, APS will improve and give children the education they deserve, and what taxpayer pay for!
July 5th, 2011
1:32 pm
Is it legal for Deal to conceal the report?
Are any of these "gets" likely?
–All principals, teachers, and other employees guilty of cheating get fired.
–Board members implicated by the report gets removed.
–Beverly Hall gets charged with defrauding taxpayers, gets sued, or otherwise gets barred from collecting her grotesquely bloated retirement/benefits.
–Whistleblowers get promoted.
July 5th, 2011
1:35 pm
I am distressed that the entire report has not been released. Atlanta parents and taxpayers have waited for three years to find the truth, and we have paid for the report that the Governor is "considering" letting us see.
If criminal indictments are not forthcoming in Georgia courts, I sincerely hope that Sally Yates steps in and prepares to prosecute Hall, Augustine and anyone else from the principal level up that has been compromised in this investigation. The Chamber of Commerce folks who have meddled ceaselessly in the affairs of APS, with a view to making the City 'look good' to other corporations and to increasing their own chunk of the out-of-control APS spending, should be ineligible to do business with either the City or the system and criminal indictments should be considered, with RICO punishments.
It is clear that Hall ran a criminal conspiracy out of APS, with the full knowledge and participation of her top administrators, the BOE and her enablers at the Atlanta Chamber, to batten off taxpayers and rip away the futures of the children who were entrusted to her. Every bonus she received should be clawed back, her pension terminated and her own future similarly degraded – in prison.

These teachers and principals should be hand-cuffed and march into the Atlanta Jail, just like those deputies and correction officers last week. Lets not forget the captain of the ship, Sup. Hall she should lead the pack into the jail cells.

"Nothing is more important to the future of our state than ensuring that today's students receive a first-class education" (Nathan Deal). Anyone see anything funny about this statement given the decade long cuts to the very education of which he speaks (continued during his own administration just a few months ago?)
Is the Governor obeying the open records request for a copy of the entire report, BTW?

The sad thing about this entire cheating scandal is that the very same teachers and principal involve are more than likely the ones who engage in grade changing and social promotions. I find it hard to believe this is the first time they've been involve in uncharacteristic behavior involving students. In a word trust in the APS has been shattered and a band-aid won't do.

APS was an early adopter of unsound instructional practices and models. Not surprisingly, little learning occurred. Because those same practices came out of the New Standards movement of the 90s that has now been renamed as the Common Core Standards, there is considerable pressure to avoid looking at the true source of the problem.
Because we are now federalizing and mandating those constructivist approaches.
And protecting the transformational change agenda while making money off its government supplied monopoly is what SACS does.
Anyone know when and where Elgart taught? Was he a social studies teacher? Will make tremendous use of any hard info.

I have three observations:
1. I suspect that such cheating occurs almost everywhere, just at a lower level.
2. Once one understands that public education in some places is little more than a massive "jobs program," much of what happens, despicable as it is, at least makes sense.
3. The Professional Standards Commission is a joke. Politics. I was once "disciplined" by the PSC for a non-cheating related infraction. I totally accept the one year suspension of my certificate. Although my certificate was reenstated in 2008, the "ding" on my otherwise exemplary record has rendered me, in effect, unemployable since I have no political connections. No discussion. The people involved in this fiasco should have their certificates revoked for life. Doubt that this will happen. Politics. Can't have all those highly paid people reduced to $10.00 per hour service jobs or unemployed.

Maureen: Are you still doubting me when I have been saying for years now that Beverly Hall was the worst superintendent ever to show her face in the Atlanta Public Schools? Ha!
July 5th, 2011
4:04 pm
The culture of fear, intimidation, and the concurrent systematic cheating was rooted in the very fabric of the Beverly Hall Administration, and you were essentially not going to be promoted unless you "went along to get along." We heard too much anecdotal evidence about this culture virtually each day from teachers. Reporting situations to the Professional Standards Commission (PSC) became useless because it apparently never wanted to touch Atlanta. I approached one State Superintendent years ago about the corruption of the Atlanta Public Schools (APS). This State Superintendent didn't want to touch APS for fear that the NAACP and others would shout, "Racism!" The Chief of State actually told me this. What is racism is leaving these children and employees languishing as if they were in the Stalinist Soviet Union. This is racism…not expecting anything other than this mess. This is racism.

Beverly Hall was NOT the worst superintendent ever.
She created a culture of high expectations. She did NOT create a culture of cheating.
No one in the world, no amount of money, no pressure could make me look a child into the eyes and cheat him to save my job. If I did that, then I AM WRONG — not the superintendent who demanded high expectations from me as a teacher and from my students.

@ Taxpayer: You are either delusional or a lackey of Beverly Hall. Hands down, she has been the worst…but I only go back as far as Jarrell, Letson, Crim, Harris, Butts, Canada, Strickland, and Hall. You may know more than me but I seriously think that any superintendent of the past did as much damage as Beverly Hall did. She was one lousey superintendent.
July 5th, 2011
4:28 pm
I'm someone who has studied, worked and lived in Atlanta for years, and I remember what the school system was before Dr. Hall came to Atlanta.
She has been a turnaround leader. And in order to turn anything around, a leader has to KICK BUTT, STEP ON TOES AND HURT PEOPLE'S FEELINGS to let them know it's a new day of rigorous education, high standards and accountability in APS.
I suspect that many of these people on the blogs who are attacking her personally are doing so because they got their BUTT KICKED, TOES STEPPED ON AND FEELINGS HURT.
And what was the result? Student attendance, up. State AND NATIONAL test scores, up. Number of state-of-the-art schools, up. Advanced courses, up. Scholarship dollars, up. College acceptances, up. Dollars invested in the school system, up. Let's not forget also that arts and athletics programs are still up and running in APS despite cuts in other systems.
Those are the facts. That's what I know.
July 5th, 2011
4:36 pm
Kudos to the AJC and State of Georgia for exposing this cesspool. The real test begins now – we'll see if APS has the backbone to fire these cheaters and if the government has the will to prosecute them.

"Beverly Hall was NOT the worst superintendent ever. … No one in the world, no amount of money, no pressure could make me look a child into the eyes and cheat him to save my job. If I did that, then I AM WRONG — not the superintendent who demanded high expectations from me as a teacher and from my students."
What? Why can't they both be in the wrong?
Remember that Hall replaced 90% of principals during her tenure. The cheaters are people she chose to hire, and then supervised for many years, and then protected from scrutiny, to the detriment of students who were unable to get the remedial help they needed.
And she presided over an administration that punished whistle blowers. Those who couldn't abide working in a cheating environment either quit, or blew the whistle and were fired or otherwise punished. Perhaps those who wouldn't cheat and raise their scores to unrealistic levels were also fired.
No amount of money or pressure could have made me do what those principals did either. But I'm guessing that I (and you, if you're telling the truth about what you would have done) would not have been there at the end. If you systematically fire (or cause to quit) the people who act honestly, then the ones you have left will be disproportionately dishonest.
You can't say that the drug kingpin isn't guilty because the people he hired to commit crimes were bad people too.

@I'm a Taxpayer. Hi. I live in West Virginia. I've never been a resident of Atlanta, though I've driven through there on I-75 a few times. I am looking forward to seeing Beverly Hall get her richly deserved comeuppance to settle the account she opened by condoning academic fraud. Yeah, I want to see the law kick her butt. It would restore my faith in the justice sys–well, that might be going a bit too far, but it would be a fine thing to see.

The sad part is…this is just Atlanta, you don't think this is going on around the rest of the state? I know of a case were a kid took pictures of the CRCT with his cell phone during the test, posted it online and nothing happened to either him or the teachers proctoring it.
At least this gives Georgians something to talk about until football season starts.

@I'm a taxpayer: when Hall came in, the HS graduation rate was 42%. Right now- today- not 50% of freshmen in APS even stick around to get to their senior year. I haven't run the numbers this year- the state DOE has them, and links have been published in the AJC and on this blog- but last year the graduation rate was ….. 45%. That's improvement? Where's the accountability? Attendance is up? Last year I could check- 2009- 45% of APS HS students missed 10 days or more. 45%!! And those are the ones who didn't 'disappear' for the whole year, and forever off the HS rolls. Just where are you getting your "facts" from?

I am glad to see people actively contributing info, ideas, and questions, and who don't just take things at face-value. Or who also think it's obvious that if problems were that widespread, then there was a systemic problem.
There was a lot of discussion and debate about industrialized-style testing* before it was mandated, and many warned of the risks at the time, but IIRC there was more concern of effects which would be unkind to kids, or be detrimental to certain schools or areas. Don't recall seeing this predicted LOL.
* (B*s No Child Left Behind? You had to know it was fd then always the opposite, eg. "Clean Air Act" ha ha.)
I don't have kids any kids/ties to the story, except that I was raised next door in Dekalb, have much love for my hometown, and great empathy for all kids (my childhood kinda sucked, eh.) I assume everyone would ideally like there to be a style of school (/flexibility for what that is) where kids would learn things by choice because of the joy it gave them. Maybe someday, when less of the people's funds go to profits for Delta than to programs for your kids, ya'll can do a remodel, with some humanistic psychology, and… other idealistic hippie crap I always dream will fix things. Anyway, I'm sorry if you or your child feel like the cheating has put them behind. But ya'll also have the advantage of being in a town with so much diversity and culture. I'm not even saying go to the Museum. Just get them out from the computer and about, and those neurons will be growing and soaking up unformation… Heck the two most enlightening/useful classes ever to me were psychology and sociology – the study of how people work, and the study of how groups of people work. And it's stuff even kids can pick up just from observation and interaction.
And while I'm at it: I have no idea how or if such a thiing could be implemented, but if ya'll can drug test huge swaths of employees now propr to hiring, if you could screen for Personality Disorders, most vitally the Hare Psychopathy Scale… and, IIRC, David Hare was to be coming up fo one specifically for pre-employment screenings (it screens for Narcissism PD and Antisocial PD (DSM-V names.) Maybe it doesn't sound logical for me to say with as little I know about the woman, but it only takes a hanful of behavior/attitudes/outcomes to spot them sometimes. IDisclaimer: I'm not trying to stigmatize people with psych diagnoses, I advocate for inclusion, but PDs are what people call evil, toxic, sociopath, etc. And there's been a small amount of growing awareness of Narcissism since the Wall Street fiascol. Basically, any time someone seeks to be in a position of power, reality-check things. Anyway, had there been a diagnostic screening tool, your school system might still be intact, your State budget not quietly fluttering away, and the people sticking together more.
Miss ya, Hometown! Love Lee
PS I cheated on first test ever haha, in kindergarten, because I got one wrong and was scared of my mom's anger. People do a lot of odd things out of fear (whether they admit or realize that's where it stems from or not) but hey "fight or flight" from fear (limbic system) is ancient, and has served to keep us silly himans alive for a long time.so, compassion to anyone who ever done something embarrasion out of fear. Souls with empathy will have true remorse, and free from a toxic setting would never have erred / do so again. People calling for every teacher who changed scores to never teach a kid again is insane – literally – as in the sans-empathy kind (unless ere just parroting or peacocking) Teachers work for so little anyway, so little savings, jobs are scarce, no social safety net, think ahead to putting someone out on the street to live in a car or be a victim on the street. Ya'll just need a system that's not fd up and it'll all be ok.

Enter your comments here I would like to know why the percentage of of students
receiving free/reduced lunch was included in the report on test scores, how is this
related to the issue ?

- Solid foodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014Great for couples night out or night out with the kids. Solid food. Burratta, Octopus and Fried Calamari were super fresh and excellent apps. Braised short rib special was awesome. Also had a whole fish special which didn't have much taste and was a little fishy so I would stick with the meat and pastaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/18/2014Excellent meal and service, beautiful restaurant, we had an amazing time.
- Excellent!ceeteeDined on 8/8/2014Came here for dinner on our anniversary. Was very pleased with everything! Service, ambience, food, they have it all! Was blown away by the pasta.

MANGIA!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just what we neededCamilleCaresDined on 8/3/2014I used to be a regular at Scottadito many years back when I worked in the area. It is great to return to Park Slope and notice that amongst the changes some things do remain the same. The service and food at Scottadito is exactly what I was looking for this Sunday. I treated one of my best friends to a lovely brunch for her post-wedding celebration. The food was great and the service matched at top notch.Special Features:
- good food, friendly servicemargoDined on 8/2/2014From the time we entered the restaurant, we were treated really well. While ordering, I made a couple of specific requests (about substitutions and about how well done I preferred the food.) Both requests were met without attitude! Portions were large, and my friend and I both found the food to be above expectations. Good experience.Special Features:
- A Must!!!missyDined on 8/1/2014My first time being at Scottadito for dinner and it was a beautiful experience.

- Love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Park Slope. It's never a disspointment. The food is prepared just like if you were in Italy sitting in a piazza. I've come for dinner and brunch, I had my birthday dinner here. The specials are always fabulous and very creative. If you're in the neighborhood go and visit, and if you're not go and visit! Awesome place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I highly recommend this for dinner and any type of celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!!luvgoodfoodVIPDined on 6/19/2014I have taken a group there once a month for the past three months!! Loved it personally, but when the office had an event to celebrate, this was where we went. Now it seems that every event we have as an office we are back. Food is great, service wonderful, and the ambiance superb. Can't wait for our next event!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved our dinnervandinerDined on 6/7/2014We were excited to find this great restaurant in our neighborhood. The ambiance, menu, service and food were all terrific and we were also thrilled to be able to dine out with friends and be able to hear each other in conversation.Special Features:

- Phenomenal Italian FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/28/2014"Romantic" lighting, and great tasting food. I went with a small group but it looks like it's good for couples and even 5-6 people. Would go again even though parking in the neighborhood is a bit tough (it's Brooklyn..).Special Features:
- Italian Gem in Park SlopeFlushingFirstTimersDined on 5/27/2014Not familiar with the area, we relied on the reviews in Open Table and were well rewarded. The rustic interior included an expanded rear section with an airy feel provided by an opening to a small garden and sky lighting. The menu provided many Italian favorites with a special of soup or salad with pasta or entree and beverage for $15. We each ordered a different salad, one beet and one pear as the primary ingredient. they were fresh and flavorful. We ordered the salmon with green beans and mashed potties. The serving of salmon was gigantic! Everything was very well prepared and seasoned. The service was attentive and helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- excellent placeOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/11/2014I have been here for multiple occasions, including this past weekend for Mother's Day Brunch. My mom is hard to please and this place didn't disappoint her one bit. However, I have seen everything from a baby shower to a wedding reception held stthis place.the staff is very professional and he decor is amazing. You won't be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good neighborhood restaurant.OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 5/2/2014We had reservations for a late dinner. The place was busy but not crowded. We ordered the insulata Di Kim, the spinach gnocchi and the short ribs tagliatelle. The salad was good,especially the artichoke and the olives. My gnocchi was good but it was missing the cheese consistency, in my opinion. However, my bf's dish, the tagliatelle, was very good! We didn't want a heavy dessert so we opted for dessert elsewhere. The server offered us dessert wine. Unfortunately, I had stopped drinking so only had a sip but that was sweet of them to offer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experience every timeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/25/2014We have eaten here three times and each meal was excellent. Everyone's food was great and service was top notch yet friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch!yazzyVIPDined on 4/19/2014We had a wonderful brunch meal here. All the dishes were great. I had the special frittata with truffles and ricotta which was fantastic. All you can drink sparkling wine or mimosas topped off the meal as well! If you reserve, ask for the back room, which is blanketed with sun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent as alwaysLIchKidDined on 4/18/2014My wife and I have been here numerous times and it is always excellent. It's like a neighborhood restaurant with uptown fare. The service and ambiance are as good as the food.Special Features:
- Better if you're localOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 4/15/2014I did not have a great time at Scottadito. The worst thing a patron can feel is that other diners matter more than they do and that's what I felt here. It started off fine until another table came in and they suddenly our server's attention disappeared and went to that table. There was an error in our order and our server neglected to inform us until we asked after waiting half an hour. We were trying to make a basketball game at Barclays. The food was okay but definitely not worth the inattention. The server offered to make it up with a free dessert but we simply had no time for that.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood find. GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/13/2014Great neighborhood find. Good food and excellent service without the Manhattan hustle and bustle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The authentic Italian cuisineCarolfromBrooklynDined on 4/13/2014The authentic Italian cuisine and ambiance make Scottaditto one of my favorite restaurants!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I absolutely loved this restaurantzia1988Dined on 3/23/2014it was my boyfriends birthday.I was scrambling for a restaurant to find to take him to of course I don't just want to take into any restaurants and you that any restaurant in Park Slope would be okay for me to take him to but SCOTTADITO OSTERIA TOSCANA, Really blew my mind the food the service everything as soon as we walked in we were seated. I really dont recall our servers name but the way he took care of us I wish I did... to summarize I will definitely be dining here again in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Sunday BrunchGretaAMDined on 3/16/2014I live in Manhattan and was visiting my Brooklyn friend and someone had recommended this place to me. They have a prix Fixe Brunch which offered several varied choices. Portions were generous and include unlimited mimosas. Of course, this cannot be the best champagne and the mimosa was less than fantastic, but they do keep pouring if you like! The staff was very gracious and welcoming. There is a large room in the back where they were hosting a private party. The back walls are glass and the room has an atrium feeling- very open and light.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Restaurant of the SlopeJerryVIPDined on 3/14/2014We have been here several times and and it is one of our favorites for Italian. It is cozy, the food is great with many vegetarian and organic choices. We have not been disappointed. The staff are nice too, very attentive.Special Features:
- Brunch good, unlimited mimosas poorroderickDined on 3/9/2014The brunch meal itself was pretty good, and I really have no qualms about that. Got the Tagliatelle and the portion wasn't drenched in truffle oil. The mimosas themselves were very weak and the waiter was very slow with pouring the mimosas. Many times I would have to ask, even though he would pass our table while I had an empty cup. I mean, if you're going to offer bottomless mimosas, you need to be better about serving that since obviously that's a major draw. We were also given the check before asking and we had been there less than an hour! There were also plenty of seats available so it's not like they needed our two seats right away.Special Features:
- Great Brunch ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/2/2014Warm atmosphere with friendly attentive wait staff . Very relaxing, we were never rushed. The front room is very cozy but dark. I prefer that room for dinner. The back room where we ate is cheerful & warm looking out at the garden & fish pond. Pre fix brunch with unlimited mimosas or champagne was fantastic. Love that you had a choice of traditional brunch dishes, homemade pasta or salad. All 6 of us were very pleased with our varied choices.Special Features:
- Creme BrûléeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/1/2014The food was excellent . I only had one problem with the restaurant is that the Creme Brûlée was to small for the price, but it was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Little gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 2/16/2014Had a wonderful dinner here on a wintry night. The fireplace warmed my back while we dined...Food was great -- great tuna, great steak...Swell drinks...what more could you want?!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good place to talkOutOfTownerVIPDined on 2/16/2014We were in town to visit our adult son and found this to be a lovely place for a visit. The smoked mozzarella appetizer and the spinach ravioli were fabulous. There is a fireplace and the service was knowledgable and attentive without being annoying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friendly staff, tasty foodPetesipDined on 2/16/2014First time visiting for weekend brunch, although we're frequently here for weekday lunch. Brunch menu has something for everyone, and the food is very tasty and generous in portions. Weekly lunch deal is stupendous: appetizer, main course and a glass of wine for $15. Several delightful salads, and I particularly praise their gnocchi in butter and sage sauce. Only downside is the noise level, if you're in the otherwise attractive back room and there's a big party present, conversation is pretty much out of the question. Otherwise, the reverberant noise doesn't overwhelm.Special Features:

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man received a stayed sentence for pawning hand bells valued at $10,000 from First Presbyterian Church in Sheboygan. 57 year old David Neese will serve one year probation for stealing 37 bells from the church - of which he is an active member - to cover his gambling addiction. His actions were discovered last November when a person from California bought some of the bells on EBay and noticed they were from the church. Judge Timothy Van Akkeren ordered the probation at the request of the church, which asked for leniency in sentencing. If Neese violates probation, he will serve 89 days in the county jail.

Good For Warm Weather: Sparkling Sodas
When the weather gets warm, we love drinking these light, sparkling, non-alcoholic sodas made with cane sugar (no high fructose corn syrup!) and natural flavors. See inside for more information ...
Here are three picks that we like:
Grown-Up Soda (GUS): with yummy flavors like Dry Meyer Lemon, Star Ruby Grapefruit, and Dry Pomegranate, these fruity, bubbly spritzers are great on a hot day after working in the garden.
Vignette Wine Country Soda: In three wine grape flavors (pinot noir, chardonnay, and rosé) these non-alcoholic concoctions are perfect for a picnic basket with some cheese, olives, and charcuteries.
DRY Soda Company: Thomas Keller's French Laundry restaurant serves these sodas, which come in the following essences: Lavender, Lemongrass, Rhubarb, and Kumquat. So good!

I don't know if they still make it, but Clearly Canadian used to make a dry sparkling ginger lemonade. It was fantastic, but I haven't seen it in years.
Lavender Dry Soda with Tito's vodka... yum.
We love GUS, have been drinking it for years now.... I buy it by the case from the Fresh Market. I wish they would get more distribution into other stores. I buy the Meyer Lemon, Dry Pomegranate and Cranberry Lime.
I sorely miss POMPELMO (Grapefruit) - Trader Joes discontinued it.
I've tried Hansen's Grapefruit but it just aint' the same.
Any suggestions?
Oddly enough, Safeway brand grapefruit soda is really good. I never had the TJs stuff, though, so I don't know how it compares. It's drier than Squirt, if I remember correctly.
On my last adventure to Trader Joe's (the closest is a two hour drive away) I discovered the Trader Joe's Refreshers. They are wonderful in blueberry, tangerine and pomegrante. Truly a blessing for me as I've given up caffeine and high fructose corn syrup ... sometimes I just want something more than water to drink!
My kids sucked up a pack of Trader Joe Pom flavor and are begging for more. I had a taste and it was very good.
