Resolved Question: How loyal do you have to be to buy this “jobs saved or created” hogwash?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jobs-saved-created-congressional-districts-exist/story?id=9097853
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/scrutiny-obama-stimulus-jobs-mounting/story?id=9075257
Even ABC refuses to toe the line on this. “In Oklahoma, recovery.gov lists more than $19 million in spending — and 15 jobs created — in yet more congressional districts that don’t exist.”
19 million, to create 15 jobs…that’s change I can believe in! Well, if that district existed…
“A Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel review found a sanitation department in Douglas County, Wis., that admitted to a typo that resulted in an estimate of 100 jobs saved or created, when the actual number was five.” How do you commit that typo?
“$90,000 per each job saved or created” Would it be cheaper to just pay them to stay home and watch Oprah?
Loyal to facts? How about 5% unemployment under the previous admin, compared to 10% now.
“With unemployment remaining elevated and no sign of job growth, the Federal Reserve could be expected to keep its interest rate target at virtually zero, economists said. Read commentary on the Fed and jobs.
The jobs report was worse than expected. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch were forecasting a rise in the unemployment rate to 10%, with 150,000 lost payroll jobs. An upward revision to August and September payrolls cushioned some of the disappointment, however”
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/unemployment-rate-hits-102-in-october-2009-11-06-83100
using your numbers, it should be 4,800,000 jobs saved or created.
600,000 * 8 = 4,800000

Resolved Question: college appeal letter…your opinion please?
I have to write an appeal letter because I was denied readmission. The story is below in my appeal letter, but I need to know if it is too much or what? I’m confused on if I need to add more or take some away. Does it sound like I’m begging??? I haven’t edited any so there may be some gramatical errors.
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to appeal the denial of my re-admission to The University of Texas at San Antonio. It has come to my attention that I was denied admission due to my low GPA at The University of Oklahoma Norman Campus. I would like the admissions department to reconsider their decision once they have reviewed the situation that resulted in the low GPA at the previous University.
I was a student at UTSA for four years, and was an average student. My cousin and I are the first of my family to attend college, and UTSA is the college we both chose. I greatly enjoyed UTSA and would love to attain my bachelor’s from such a well known university. I have confidence that the great faculty and staff can guide me to the career I desire as I experienced straight out of high school. In return, I will devote my studies and strive to be a better student than before.
I married a US Navy petty officer which resulted in us moving to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where he was stationed at Tinker AFB. I was granted admission into The University of Oklahoma Norman Campus for the fall semester of 2007. I was excited, and relieved that I had no issues continuing my education. However, it was disappointing that nearly half of my credits did not transfer. I decided to take only once course. We were in the process of buying our first home together, and adjusting to the state. I found a job working at OU Health Science Center in accounting department, which I extremely enjoyed working in the field I desired to study.
It was not long before my husband and I found out we were expecting. It was very hard for me to cope with everything, as this was the first time I was away from home. Soon after, my husband told me had he decided to stay in the service he would be deployed on a ship for an unknown amount of time. This took a toll not only on the future of my family, but also my marriage and the health of my unborn baby and me. We soon decided that my husband’s presence for the birth of my daughter and her life was much more important. It was at that time that we decided we would separate from the military and start our family and future back in San Antonio, Texas. We thought that would be the answer to all our problems, but we were mistaken. At that time, I missed the deadline to drop my course by a day or two. I was told it would not transfer back to UTSA, and I felt that I did not need to complete the class. I thought the payment of the course and time was all that I lost. Now, that I know that was not all that was lost, I deeply regret taking the easy way out.
We moved back to San Antonio in the summer of 2008, and are completely settled in. I wished to take classes as soon I returned San Antonio. I had to be honest with myself, and decided I needed to wait. I knew I could not take on more than I could handle, as I learned my lesson last time around. It has now come my time to continue my education and plan a better life for my family. I now have a bigger and better reason to accomplish my life time goal, and “failure is not an option” is my motto.
I am grateful for the work experience in Oklahoma, because I realized that is something that I do not want as my career. I have now decided that I will follow my dream as a child to pursue my education as a math teacher.
I have the potential and desire to be that student that the university will be proud of. With the universities assistance I would like to accomplish my life time goal and attain a bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at San Antonio. With all do respect, I would like the university to reconsider my application once more.

6 States OK’d to Write Education Laws Outside ‘No Child’
Six states are getting the OK to write their own prescriptions for ailing schools under the Bush administration’s signature education law.

WASHINGTON–
Six states are getting the OK to write their own prescriptions for ailing schools under the Bush administration’s signature education law.
It’s a softening from how No Child Left Behind currently works — with schools having to take certain steps at specific times for missing math and reading testing goals. Critics have complained that the approach is too rigid and treats schools the same regardless of whether they miss the mark by a little or a lot.
The states getting more freedom under a pilot program are Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and Ohio. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings made the announcement during a speech Tuesday in Austin, Texas.
The states that won approval have come up with plans to more closely tailor solutions to individual schools’ problems and focus resources on schools in the worst shape.
“We expect to see a closer fit between the causes of school underperformance and a focused attention at repairing those sources of failure,” said Margaret Raymond, director of an education think tank at Stanford University and the chair of a panel that reviewed the state proposals.
Examples of changes the states plan to make include requiring schools to offer tutoring earlier than is currently called for and a greater reliance, in Indiana for example, on testing throughout the year to catch academic weak spots.
In Florida, schools with low-performing students will likely be assigned teachers who have experience teaching similar students successfully.
Maryland is placing more emphasis on training principals. It’s common under the law for failing schools to replace their principals. “We think principal leadership is key. It’s not just changing a principal, it’s ensuring principals have the necessary skill sets,” said Maryland schools superintendent Nancy Grasmick.
In Georgia, the state is spelling out that schools can become charter schools, which are public but operate with broad independence, earlier than is currently called for, said the state’s superintendent of schools, Kathy Cox.
Some critics worry the changes, specifically the focus on the worst-performing schools, will take the pressure off schools that are generally doing well but having trouble with one group of students — such as a minority group or kids with disabilities.
“I don’t think it’s taking the pressure off. I think it’s allowing focus,” Cox said.
Spellings has said up to 10 states will be allowed to try to participate in the pilot program. The Education Department plans to review additional state proposals this fall.
The six states that won approval were among 17 that sought it.
The states that didn’t win approval were Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Spellings said in an interview that the efforts by the states that won approval to try new approaches will be closely watched and will shape any future rewrite of the six-year-old No Child law.
“We’re trying to set the table for a strong and sensible reauthorization,” Spellings said. “We’re going to learn some things.”
