WASHINGTON - Texas ranked 30th in the nation for its average teacher salaries during the 2001-02 school year, according to the latest American Federation of Teachers state-by-state teacher salary survey released today. Texas's average teacher salary for 2001-02 was $39,230, up 2.3 percent from the previous year. The state ranked 17th for its average beginning teacher salary, which was $30,938, up 3.7 percent from the previous year. The report, which covers the 50 states and the District of Columbia, is based on the most recent data available. The U.S. average teacher salary for the 2001-2002 school year was $44,367. The average beginning teacher salary was $30,719. Nationally, the AFT salary survey found that improved beginning teacher salaries and a depressed job market have helped alleviate the teacher shortage. But the good news is tempered by the report's finding that overall salary growth has been slowed because of state fiscal crises. "Thanks to better starting salaries, the shrinking teacher shortage should help reduce class sizes. But we can't afford to ignore and lose experienced teachers, whose salaries are not showing much improvement," said AFT President Sandra Feldman. Texas came in 30th nationally and posted the highest average teacher salary regionally. Here are the national rankings for the other Southwestern states: Arizona was 33rd at $38,510; New Mexico was 42nd at $36,716; and Oklahoma was 49th at $32,870. The AFT report also found that the shortage of teachers for all subjects in 2002 dropped to 1999 levels. However, considerable shortages still remain for math, physics, chemistry, earth science, biology and Spanish-language teachers. At the other end of the spectrum, there was an oversupply of physical education teachers. The report found a balanced supply and demand for elementary school teachers.

San Diego joins a growing trend among U.S. cities using the power of eminent domain -- the government's ability to lawfully seize property -- to tyrannize politically weak individuals. In a recent well-publicized case, for instance, Donald Trump conspired with Atlantic City officials to level a block of family businesses so that he would have more room next to his casino for a parking lot. Just as the ballpark developers did in San Diego, Trump turned to unscrupulous city officials to gain by force what he could not get by private negotiation. Fortunately, these victims were aided by the charity of aggressive lawyers who blocked Trump's gambit.
Although always a violation of property rights, traditionally the eminent domain power was limited to and employed for strictly public purposes such as roads, utilities, and military use. Courts did not allow government to take, for example, a corner mom-and-pop gas station solely to turn it over to McDonalds for redevelopment. In 1983, when the state of Hawaii took vast tracts of land from a small minority of private owners and resold it to the "general public," the U.S. Court of Appeals declared it "a naked attempt" to take private property and correctly identified it as "majoritarian tyranny." Unfortunately, in 1984, the Supreme Court disagreed.
Ever since, emboldened mayors and city councilmen have seized property in greater quantity for increasingly specious purposes. In Texas, the homes of 117 residents were bulldozed to make room for a shopping mall. In Detroit, hundreds of residents and businesspeople lost their homes and businesses so that GM could build a new plant. And elsewhere in San Diego an auto repair shop, hardware store, and carpet business were recently forced to close so that a Price Club could claim their land.
I do not have an attitude. I just expect that when people say 'yes, I understand' that they mean what they say.
You do have to admin that (in general) people get more cranky and less likely to change as they age. For example, I can show my father how to use his computer with no problem, but other famly members (because they refuse to remember from 1 day to the next) I have trouble with.
And I didn't forget the original question. It is my other family members that ask for help/teaching. My father doesn't unless he is in real trouble, which I think is the difference. He wishes to teach himself and the others do not.
The article isn't worried about the radiation from the drops of coolent, they are worried that, as the collent falls back to earth, it could impact other sats causing a cascade that would destroy a large chunk of the sats currently around earth. And in the process render space a much more dangerous place due to the extra space junk that would be released.
Chinese government policies that favor Chinese companies over foreign firms are driving some U.S. tech companies from the booming market.
This month, chipmakers Intel and Broadcom said they'll stop selling wireless Internet, or Wi-Fi, chips in China. A new law requires that the chips include a security technology licensed by Chinese companies.
The technology can hurt chips' performance and compatibility with other devices, says Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy. And implementing it requires U.S. chipmakers to share valuable intellectual property with Chinese companies, says Semiconductor Industry Association President George Scalise.
The Wi-Fi dispute is one of several being waged between the U.S. and Chinese tech industries.
Semiconductor taxes. China slaps a 17% value-added tax on computer chips sold there. But it gives rebates of up to 14% to domestic chip plants. That makes it almost impossible for foreign chipmakers to compete, the SIA says.
This month, the U.S. trade office filed a case against China's semiconductor tax with the World Trade Organization (news - web sites), which China joined in 2001. China must abide by the WTO's decision or risk censure. Friday, China said it would enter talks with the United States.
Proprietary standards and practices. China is developing its own standards for 3G cell phone networks and DVD players. (The Chinese version is called EVD, or extended versatile disk.) If the standards are widely adopted, they will allow Chinese manufacturers to avoid paying some licensing fees to foreign companies and force tech firms to make special products only for China. Officials also have taken steps to keep government agencies from using non-Chinese software.
U.S. companies urgently want to do business in China because it's a huge, growing market. China has a $1.4 trillion economy and gross domestic product growth near 10%, according to the U.S. State Department. Political changes in recent years have increasingly opened the once-isolated country to foreign companies. U.S. tech firms are eager to sell PCs, DVD players and other products to China's 1.3 billion citizens.
Chinese officials talk about fair trade, yet "behave like a protective dictatorship when it serves their best interests," says Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America, a trade group. Chinese officials deny that and say they're working to understand U.S. concerns.
Nearly every country has some policies to boost and protect domestic industries. The U.S. gives tech companies a tax break for research and development, for example. But trade groups such as the ITAA say China's policies are so extreme, they infringe on free trade. In 2003, the USA exported $28 billion worth of goods to China and imported $152 billion.

Even if humanity lauched every fucking ounce of nuclear material we have into orbit it would have next to no effect on the rad environment.

First, you may wish to create another account as to not dishonor those that truely where Marines.
Second, please learn (something|anything) about orbital dynamics before you speak on the subject again.
Yes, they do. They (in general) do not wish to learn nor do they like to listen to younger people tell them what to do.
It may be sad, but it is the truth.

Yea, the 40 Billion they sell to Wal-Mart each year and the other 70-130 Billion they sell to other US contries brings in next to no hard currency.
It is more likely the goverment of china allows it to happen because it has a negative effect on western business.
Just include a few nukes in some shipping containers and take out most of our ports. That would 'impact severly' the US economy for 5-7 years.
