What maked you think its about the '1%'? do you think they even care?
Because I attended a 1%er private school in a state while the vote came up yet again for for vouchers. The proponents were all 1%ers looking for tax cuts. "I pay to send my kids to school, I shouldn't have to pay again to send someone else's kids to school" was a popular saying among those already sending their kids to private schools. The 1% don't need the money, but they fight it out of principle.
Have a look at the teachers, the administrators, the associated unions, the 'think of the children' reactionary crowd, and you soon see that education is pretty much doomed before it begins.
The small government groups increase school spending with tests and silly requirements. Unions aren't a problem anywhere for teachers. Texas schools are no better and the union is banned by law from striking or taking (almost) any action at all.
Standardised testing is a threat to their ability to do as little as possible for this paychecks.
Standardized testing sucks because it's a distraction and not even effective.
A return of a path for good teachers to become administrators - and a removal of 'career' administrators who are just collecting a paycheck.
My last principal was also the social science teacher. I never went to a public school with a principal that wasn't a former teacher, but the private schools I've been to all had professional administrators who were never teachers. So I don't see how reality lines up with your opinion.
Is it really that difficult?
Yes. Because everyone thinks it's "obvious" what should happen, but everyone's "obvious" opinion is different.
Thankfully, I'm not burdened by tact. Most defensive uses of a firearm don't involve using it. At least according to the pro-gun statistics, as the non-discharge uses aren't well recorded, so they can be fudged to tell any story you'd like.
Near me there was a mansion-like house, left non-weathertight for over a year during building. When I last looked, before it was sealed up, everything was damaged and warped. I have no idea how well it looked done, but I can't believe they got it level enough for someone to buy it. Puddles of water on the unprotected plywood floors, wet framing, no building wrap on. The roof was on, but nothing else to make it weather tight.
That was the whole point of NCLB. To sabotage the schools to help push vouchers to subsidize the school of the 1%. The sabotage is great, and the public can't figure out how to object to "help" that hurts. After all, the pro-school voters can't even comprehend someone deliberately harm school children to push a political agenda fr more welfare for the rich. Until the voters understand the evil nature of some in politics, we'll get the evil, sold as "help".
Nobody had a problem with the 60 killed under Bush's administration in Embassies, but 4 under Obama warrants the largest Congressional investigation ever?
The embassies in general were safer under Clinton's State Department than those before her. So why the issue now?
You know what's nice about power? The meter is on the wall. I can go look at it any time I want and see what the power company thinks I've used, and the rate of use. Phone data is a mystery. Even measuring apps are off by 10% to 50% regularly. Are they measuring OTA size? L2 packet size? payload size? Because a user only cares about the payload, and that's almost never what's measured. And with so many things running in the background, it's hard to know what's using what when, not as big of a problem with electricity.
Reinforcing metal inside concrete for strength is "rebar". The concrete underlayment is a form of reinforcing metal, thus is rebar. At least by every definition I and Wikipedia have seen for rebar.
What, where you are they train first responders that they shouldn't respond until the first on the scene have a chance to respond, adding 10 minutes or longer to the ambulance response?
Where I am, the philosophy is, get the emergency response on the way as soon as possible. Don't delay the ambulance for the EMS on site to take a while to evaluate the scene - that delay could kill someone that needs an ambulance, and almost all the time, the ambulance would be needed anyway in almost all cases after stabilizing the person.
So call 911 to get the ambulance rolling, the security to notify them. The 10 seconds lost for first EMT response is less critical than 10 minutes for the ambulance. If security called 911 immediately after sending the EMTs, I'd be answering differently, but it seems that so many companies delay 911 as long as possible. If I'm collapsed on the ground, and the choice is calling local security or the professionals, I hope someone calls the professionals first.
But it is the judge's fault. He should know the value, and if not, one of his many unpaid interns would look it up for him. It's not like it's a secret. The judge knows the "value" of a trillion dollars, and a trillion grains of sand, so he should teach himself the value of the subject he's ruling on. That's the judge's failing, though it would have helped if the lawyer had given some manner of comparison, though he, like us, may have assumed the judge has heard of one of the top 10 sites on the planet. Because talking to a judge like he's an idiot usually does more to harm your case than help it.
And Congress is ever so diligent in making sure they are following the law, because it's their job and they take it very seriously.
60 killed in embassies under Bush, not a single investigation. 4 dead under Obama's administration, and one of the longest and most expensive investigations in Congressional history. They are too busy crucifying Clinton (either one will do) to do anything useful. And yes, I know you were being iconic/sarcastic.
Maybe if you have managed to place the hub of your network in a local POP, but if you are serving Internet for a smaller town, you have backhaul between your town and the nearest POP that will be more than the sum of all other bandwidth and infrastructure costs.
When talking to an ISP network admin, he told me they tried doing QoS and traffic shaping, but issues always cropped up and customer would complain because of poor performance.
Ah, so you heard from a guy that it's this way. What do you *know*? I've worked on the QoS for about 10 ISPs of various sizes (some as a network engineer, some as the network manager, some as the equimpent manufacturer's support), and you'd have to be pretty dumb to set it up that broken. So the (wrong) word of an idiot admin doesn't trump what I've actually seen in networks with 1000 to 1M+ subscribers (And all sizes between).
The details are too thin to support that accusation with any certainty.
There have been numerous timelines posted here. They all indicate a timeline that 911 wasn't called until the local EMTs showed up and declared it over their heads, then the pros were called in. Competent medical care was delayed due to calling security. All the details available agree with that assessment. If you have a fact to point to, please share it. Othewise, I can only assume you are a fire warden with no training, or other type of wannabe who thinks he knows something, but doesn't.
So when you call 911 and report a medical emergency at 123 Main Street, they'll send the ambulance to 321 47th street because that's what showed up in their database for your phone number?
So you have murderous security and murderous 911 dispatchers. I'm glad I don't work there or live there.
I have first aid training and am a fire fighter. Care to lie some more ad hominem? In this case, security delayed calling in outside help by 10 minutes. The first person on the scene should have called 911 directly and given the dead person more of a chance.
So if you call security second, security will not guide the ambulance correctly and blame you? I'm glad I don't work at some place as murderous as you do.
That seems stupid. Calling 911 after calling security. If security is the right call in the first place, they should call 911 immediately, not 10 minutes later, like in this example, which is why you call 911 first, for the best result for the person that needs help.
And Zimmerman claimed he left his car to look for a house number to give 911, and walked down the blind alley to Martin's house. Who walks down a blind alley to find a house number for where they are parked on the street? Who gets lost one block from their house?
Slightly colored language, consistent with Zimmerman's testimony. I believe Zimmerman, and would have convicted based on his own accounts, were I on the Jury.
It was not an "alley" with only one "exit", but a paved walk between the backyards of homes on different streets;
"alley - a narrow passageway between or behind buildings." - a dictionary
So why would you put alley in quotes? Because you are unable to accept words you don't like the "feel" of, despite them being used exactly to the dictionary definition? Sounds like you have an emotional problem related to this issue.
There was no evidence that Zimmerman threatened Martin, and the mere act of following does not in itself constitute a threat
Is that your legal opinion? It's wrong. Following someone is a threat. Oh, and Zimmerman had made numerous comments that indicated he was "hunting", which wasn't a specific threat, but a more generic threat.
There was no evidence supporting self-defense on Martin's part during the altercation
Yeah, he was dead, thus unable to stage the scene before police responded, and unable to give testimony on his behalf.
Killing someone during a physical fight, even an avoidable one, clearly does not accord with the usual concept of "in cold blood"
Zimmerman was hunting. Zimmerman killed his unarmed prey. That's cold blood.
Zimmerman made several foolish choices that night, and his life since is clearly fubar based on news reports,
Zimmerman's life is fubar based on his statements, and his statements alone. He followed a "suspect". He didn't try to follow him, but was lost one block from his house, and thought he best way to find an address was to chase the dangerous person he just called in to the police down a blind alley, looking for street signs and addresses to give to 911. After chasing the suspect into the blind alley, he lost him, and was walking back to his vehicle when the prey, who realized he was being stalked, defended himself from the armed pursuer.
If inside doesn't have an ambulance, you need to call 911 first. Then, when 911 is called, and the "real" response is on the way, call the security and let them know 911 is on the way for a medical emergency. They can send something too, or not. But delaying an ambulance response to satisfy security's power trip is a bad decision.
911 should be called by the first person on scene. Then, if there's a corporate security to call, call them second. If security wants to cock block 911, they can call them back and direct the response to a specific gate, or cancel the call, or something. 911 first, always.

You call both. You don't call the on-site and wait 10 minutes before calling the real one.
