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?

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. Voting Question: What do you think of states amending the “no child left behind” ? 6 States OK’d to Write Education Laws Outside ‘No Child’ FOXNews.com 0 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.”

Here’s the conflict: I entered the store once again to my manager stating that I was causing chaos and distracting my girlfriend from working. However, I disagree because I hadn’t even spoken to her but a few times that evening. This manager refused to close the store even though a state of emergency had been declared, the highways were shut down, and darkness was approaching. As this manager angrily demanded I leave, I stated I was only trying to help, but he continued to say I was nothing but a distraction. I was instantly angered at this notion and presumed to tell him that he lacked the fortitude and ineptness to make a moral decision to send these remaining employees home. He then presumed to threaten to call the cops if I didn’t not immediately vacate premises. I then began to leave, and as I left I said, “You’re a piece of shit, and you have no respect for your employees.” I then left the building, and I did not return. I did work today, however, this manager was not scheduled. I spoke casually to the store manager, ops manager, and sales manager without mention to this altercation. I just thought I would let it go. However, an employee was told I was “probably going to be fired” for the altercation. Now my question is this… Would it be wrongful termination if I am let go? There are multiple witnesses, and many of these people were individuals I was helping. This manager and I have gotten along for the most part up until this time, but he does have temper problems. I agree I was wrong to argue, but I was there on my own time ONLY to be of help to my friends and co-workers. In my opinion, this guy should have let these employees go. He put their lives in danger by keeping them, (I’m not saying it was his call alone, I honestly am unsure of this decision) and my intentions were good.
