Barretta quotes aside, this is something that public schools are no longer able to do.
You can't "punish" Johnny for fear of reprisal from a variety of sources, and make no mistake, with the levels of parental non-involvement, Johnny *needs* some reining in.
Now, does the school need to keep $190K of "fees"? No. They need to make an effort to do something visible and positive with that money, preferably involving the students, in their communities. That would be a lesson everyone could get behind.
Heartland concludes their attributable post with "But honest disagreement should never be used to justify the criminal acts and fraud that occurred in the past 24 hours. As a matter of common decency and journalistic ethics, we ask everyone in the climate change debate to sit back and think about what just happened."
My question to them?
Where was that same call for reasoned response in 2009? (http://www.factcheck.org/2009/12/climategate/)
"It's not that we didn't maintain our infrastructure, or improve it, didn't do cost analysis on expected usage, expect that our heavily subsidized sales would result in an explosion of users, or were incapable to realizing that you would actually believe our marketing.
No, it's because YOU surf to too much."
Right. I have some wonderful retirement property in Death Valley I'll sell ya cheap.

Let's say that 25% of those work in sorting centers.
That's 143,500.
42% of sorting centers closing puts 60,270 people out of work.
All that human misery, because the Legislative Branch would rather buy 2,443 aircraft for an estimated US$323 billion [Joint Strike Force Fighter], than fund the US Post Office [running at a $5.1B loss this year].
There's something terribly wrong with this picture.
Or a preview of life in these United States in two or three years? This is precisely what will happen when those charged with conducting the business of the nation decide instead to legislate moral behavior.
Let me amend your statement "It's just plain stupid that some businesses pay taxes, while other businesses don't."
Big Business X walks into the City Council chambers and says "If you want us to relocate here, and bring thousands of jobs, you'll give us a 99 year tax abatement." Council members duly roll over. The same sort of scenario plays out daily
While this article concerns itself with the Federal side of the coin, you can be damn well sure that the same sort of attitudes and partisanship are pervasive, down to the municipal level. What we have on this side of the pond is a tax system so broken and gamed, that the citizens will always foot the bill for those who should be contributing to the commonweal.
"Maybe it's time to move to the country - it seems I would be far more likely to get better internet there than waiting for AT&T or Comcast to ever actually upgrade their systems."
Also, property prices would be better in most cases. The only caveat is that services one might need (fire, medical, etc.) are not as timely in the country.
One fly in that ointment: Existing burglar / other alarm systems.
Where I work there's a move to go totally VOIP (we're in a major metro area), but it's proven infeasible due to the alarm issue, notification has to go out over POTS.
Severing POTS entirely is cost effective; keeping one POTS line for the alarms is stupidly expensive (so I've been told), hence we stay with POTS and NORTEL.
I'm willing to wager that the number of laser devices in the hands of the public has not skyrocketed since 2005, but that the incidence of reporting airplane / laser incidents *has*.
It's like feeding the trolls on USENET, the more one tries to "correct" the problem the worse it becomes.
"Since its approval, Merck has claimed that Gardasil is practically side effect free with pain at the injection site being the most common complaint. However, a 2007 Judicial Watch analysis of the FDA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has revealed that Gardasil has not been as side effect free as claimed. Oddly, Judicial Watch was only able to obtain the FDA’s reports on Gardasil after a Freedom of Information Act request with the agency.
Since its approval, there have been at least 3,461 filed complaints of adverse reactions to the Gardasil vaccine. According to the "Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System," as of January 31, 2010, there have been 49 U.S. reports of death among females who have received Gardasil. According to Judicial Watch, several instances of blood clots were reported to have occurred after the administration of Gardasil.
Other side effects including paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures were also reported." [http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/gardasil_side_effects]
I'd be interested to know how the numbers cited above compare to other mandated vaccination programs, particularly DPT and OPV, as both pertussis and polio have high morbidity rates.
I imagined Jobs post-retirement full of behind the scenes manipulations, a book deal, maybe even a Nicholsonesque "indiscretion" or two, and what does the universe give me?/sigh
God bless you Mr. Jobs, and thanks for all you gave in the time you were here.
4,660: Registered challenges to books since the beginning of the century. 311,800,000: Approximate population of the United States in 2011. So, 1.49454779e-5, or.0000015%, of the population is responsible for the "Frequently challenged books of the 21st century" list.
It's mind boggling that so few could affect the lives, or get the attention of, so many. Welcome to the era of rule by the lunatic fringe.

Train 'em right, and they'll never leave.
Wasn't there a church with that same philosophy?

Post the Wired link to every Senator and Congressman's FB page and Twitter account.
Sit back.
Watch the hilarity ensue.
Didn't copy from Word, coward. : )

The bastards burglarized my luggage the first time I flew after the agency went live.
Fedex has gotten a lot of business ever since.
That's the number of career USPS employees.

"Basically they are complaining the the DMCA makes them responsible for policing their own content at their expense."
All together now, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Too bad."
We rolled out HP machines in my department in the late 90s, and had a 25% failure out of the box. One in four, DOA or otherwise unusable.
Why anyone would spec an HP makes me ask "Who's getting the kickback?".
"Maybe it's time to move to the country - it seems I would be far more likely to get better internet there than waiting for AT&T or Comcast to ever actually upgrade their systems."

As long as you're OK with that, go for it.
