At the time a teaching position was a super sweet patronage position that a politician awarded his friends.
If you take a look at the South and their regressive remake of education, especially North Carolina, you'll find that old system returning.
but the reasons that necessitated tenure are long gone, and all teachers are protected under the standard laws for hiring and firing, which cover us all.
...which are being eroded away by organizations like ALEC. Thankfully there are sensible states like Ohio that figured out how to get rid of these kind of groups.
They also have a strong union that will ensure protections.
I assume you're not a resident of any state in the South, inter-mountain West as well as not being a resident of Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, or Pennsylvania.
So there's no need for special laws that give teachers more advantages than everybody else at the expense of their students.
There's no need to abandon tenure when you can establish the very "van der Snoot" academy that you always wanted.
It's designed to prevent about everything you see being proposed after it is removed. Hopefully this can be strung out long enough so that this ruling can die off for lack of standing.
As for the people that think it has no place below post secondary level, consider that it protects from regression in curriculum (such as known in Kansas and Tennessee) as well as indirect threats to employment (such as done with North Carolina's permatemping mandate for teachers).
Just because you couldn't get Glass doesn't mean nobody should be able to use it. Never mind trying to get rid of the inevitable and wide-spread use of facial recognition also being a Luddite move as well.
That aside, the unmentionable place banning Glass is like Ryanair stating that they'll charge for restroom use on their airplanes. In both cases, they're going for sensationalism.
Because as far as the general public, rather than pro-Snowden minority is concerned, he gave us concrete evidence that he betrayed his country and that's all that matters is that we are getting fucked as long as he's not prosecuted or otherwise handled.
Given that the Russian government is protecting him as much as they are, he handed some intelligence over to buy himself some time. That's the most likely manner in which they'd offer him protection.
DFW looks terrible. Separate buildings and across the street from each other. Plus the terminals are curved. So you have to walk a long way around and then over a bridge.
They have a bidirectional train line that links them all. For all the concourses they have, it makes things quite well.
ATL is all perfectly straight. You can go between opposite ends of the airport in like 10 minutes. Going from B to C is like 30 seconds by train, or like 2 minutes by walking fast on the moving sidewalks.
That helps if you're flying Delta, but doesn't help if you're not.
As opposed to a hub-like arrangement (DFW), ATL has a series of long concourses linked by that tunnel. If you manage to have one flight on one concourse, and it's clear on the end of the other one, you'll see the problem as clear as day.
Given that Snowden's endangered the country in ways not unlike Bergdahl, bringing him to court is the only way to get the truth. That, and overwhelming evidence against him still is a fair trial - while he thinks he's entitled to an unfair trial in his favor.
For that, I stand with America by standing with the efforts to bring him in. If anything, it should also mean that anyone that meets him (or gains knowledge of exact whereabouts) but does not turn him is fit to be considered aiding a fugitive.
Given the layout of ATL, going from one concourse to another (especially if you go between a civilized airline and Delta) requires a trip to one people-mover that unnecesarily increases the distance. Perhaps they could take a lesson from somewhere like DFW and fix that.
If I want online access, my phone does it quite well.
The only American content in those cars is the fact that they use permatemps to assemble Japanese-designed cars. They're the manufacturing equivalent of guest workers.
Also competition makes us all better. Why are we afraid of a little competition?
Not if businesses are only seeking the most compliant party, not the most competent party.
It's why the US first sought slaves, then Southerners, then Mexicans, and then the rest of the Third World. It's also why businesses want contractors, which gives union-type protections to employers against their own workforce. Workers are more easily controlled in those countries versus developed countries like the US, UK, Western Europe(although contract-based hiring doesn't help), and Australia.
Just because the evidence is not going to be remotely in your favor doesn't mean you won't get a fair trial. That, and given what he has done, solitary confinement for ~30 years is relatively light compared to execution. That, and if they finally decide to prosecute people that have helped him, without regard to profession, they might not get too bad of a deal.
On the other hand, what Snowden and his friends are asking to not have a fair trial, since they want exceptions here and there. In addition, there were people unfortunate enough to lose clearances to his actions yet they will not get the same ability to call that privilege.
As for taking pictures of people without their knowing or recording everything it's just not happening.
The latter can be fixed, just that Google wants to make the regular Glass a boring device with all the interesting functions already removed.
That, and it's not like such a command could be changed to be less obtrusive (such as an eye blink pattern).
You either need to have you hand up near your head tapping it or saying "ok glass, take photo". It is actually a lot easier to take an unobtrusive photo with a phone. Where the camera comes into its own is taking photos while you are holding something with both hands. That and the ability to stream what your phone is seeing to the tethered phone - this means you can get a second set of eyes on things if you wanted.
This would get around the Google Glass's unwarranted block on face recognition - just stream raw data out and have Something Else do the interpretation and feedback.
If not for the intentional block surrounding face recognition and the general lack of availability, Glass would have a better chance at succeeding.
Instead of having a heavily controlled device, how about letting a large amount of users figure it out? That way, you'd have less comments about Glassholes and more people really exploring the bounds of what *can* be done with it, not what *should* be done.

The administrator doing that would be sued into oblivion and never work in education again
Only if they're in a sane part of the US that doesn't recognize any conflict with religion and evolution (read: not the South).
Now if you were talking about the Deep South, they'd be sued into oblivion and blackballed for not firing someone.

Fixing that for you.
Never mind that he would have a price on his head no matter where he walked.
He's effectively open season for anyone that wants him gone.
Snowden asserts that he brought no classified files with him when he left the US.
All he has is assumptions that are taken up by the pro-Snowden (and anti-America) choir.
The only people that should be protected is the people that end up catching, prosecuting, convicting, and carrying out the sentence on Snowden.
Given that the Russian government is protecting him as much as they are, he handed some intelligence over to buy himself some time. That's the most likely manner in which they'd offer him protection.
How about directly linking to the article instead of the commentary?

Given that they would do such to secure his stay, it would be the simplest explanation to say he did.
Excellent/efficient airport layout/design
Try having to go from one concourse to another, then you'll find out that it's not so good.
As I've said upthread, ATL could learn from DFW on how to do a large airport while minimizing travel between gates.

Perhaps when the put a bit more car in

No, guest worker systems on the whole represent anti-citizen fraud. They're the 21st Century version of indentured servants.
The tax law isn't the problem, it's that guest worker systems incentivize fraud. Get rid of that first, then you can talk taxes.

That's enough for an overlay of game-related information - which could go one step further than things like the Logitech G15

He only bought time with that information - and that he knew there would be people willing to shield him if they had a copy.
