GreatSchools Rating
Amazing school. I am so happy my boy can transfer to this school. The teacher is so nice and patient to him. I can feel that my boy is improving.
My son started kindergarten and Alamo and has had an amazing experience. Even though there are four classrooms per grade, it feels like a small community. Our son's teacher is experienced, yet she brings this freshness and engagement with the children that creates a great learning environment. There are many ways for parents to get involved, such as the Halloween carnival, and it's not all about fundraising, but raising fun as well. I'm very pleased with the afterschool program RDASC, as the staff are well trained, observant, and care about the kids. Our son sings the school song with pride: "Everyone's a friend I know, at A-L-A-M-O!"
Our school is Alamo Elementary in SF's Richmond District. My son is in the First Grade and we have had a great experience thus far. The teachers at Alamo are wonderful---long tenured, dedicated and caring. Principal Fong is in her second year at the school and has brought great energy, new ideas and best practices from her long successful career into the school. The PTA is active and growing with lots of fundraising, community building and enrichment programs for kids and parents. Alamo is a wonderful school and should be a top consideration for local families!
Alamo Elementary School San Francisco great academic school great parents involvement in the classroom lots of PTA events
This is our second year at Alamo and we can not believe it.. Our daughter is in first grade and she loves going to school. We have had great teachers and well as great supportive parents and the PTA. Everyone goes above and beyond to accomplish goals for the kids.. Principal Fong is extremely great and a fantastic resource.. All the teachers have tenure and all fully invested in making a difference with the kids.. I'm so glad that my other two kids will also be attending here ..
A-L-A-M-O, that's my school, that's Alamo!! Magic. It's all true, there is something alchemical that happens here. Not evident to the naked eye, but the HEART comes through in just about every touchpoint. No attitude, all commitment. I was going to move my family out of state for financial-survival reasons, but I simply could not tear us away from this school.An irreproducible combination of intellectual engagement, society building from the ground up, and well-rounded dedication to fostering excellence, confidence and JOY in our children on as many fronts as possible--academic, artistic, athletic, expressive, civic, social and compassionate. "A" is for "Amazing." Alamo truly carries on a rich and proud legacy of authenticity in achievement. Come here only if you want to fall in love and give your heart and helping hands to a community of genuinely wonderful people, big and little.
Alamo is a school with a fantastic staff, friendly families, and a wonderful sense of community. They really care about the "whole child". We feel incredibly fortunate to be here.
I decided to play the public school roulette and had Alamo as my first choice. And we WON!! 14 months in I couldn't be happier. The Principal Fong, is very visible and approachable and truly cares about moving Alamo ahead and keeping it a strong school. Very well run school.
Many moons ago I went to Alamo! Imagine how proud I am that my first grader is walking a mile in my shoes and experiencing what I had first hand! I love Alamo, its teachers and am surrounded by parents who are as involved as I am!
Alamo's motto is "be a friend". They empower each student to be kind to others and to find joy in learning. The dedication of the teachers is absolutely amazing. This urban school has a great and involved community as well. My son asks me most days if we can get to school early!
Alamo is a great school that enforces their motto "Be A Friend". My son is excited about going to school every weekday. He has made many friends since kindergarten. He is currently in 4th grade and also in violin class and a lunch football league (which I didn't even know existed before) that is provided by the school. Also, he likes what he's learning in class. They provide healthy breakfast and lunches provided by Revolution Foods. My son enjoys his school very much.
Our child has started K this year and we were super nervous. Our boy is only 5 y.o. and very active. Thanks to his teacher (Mrs.Liu), the classroom environment is a perfect combination of discipline, care, creativity, play and learning. I am much relieved and know my child is in good professional hands! Great schools attract excellent teachers!
Our son just started in Kindergarten at Alamo this past August, and we love it! Back when we were touring, we were overwhelmed by all the variables and possibilities, but ultimately what mattered most were the most basic things. The school day goes from 8:40-2:40, which is ideal for us - it mirrors our work schedule and it means our son can wake up without an alarm and we can ease into each day -- happy. The school has a great sense of community with assembly each morning. Our son sings his school song every day, all day, to the point all our non-Alamo friends know the Alamo song too! His teacher (and all the others I've heard of) do a great job communicating with us via regular email. Our son feels cared for and safe, and has made lots of friends. While schools can be differentiated on lots of things, for us, these were the things that mattered most, and Alamo has been fantastic!
My son comes home from first grade every day with an "A-star-plus-plus" grade for his teacher. The grades work as teams and the parent involvement is excellent.
Alamo has been one of the top schools in San Francisco for a long time. It has changed since the 70s, when not all of the children were allowed to attend. My Chinese brother-in-law, school age at the time, sat on the curb along with his parents in protest. Now the school has one of the highest API scores in the City and it has come a long way from the 70s. We are proud to have such a fine school in San Francisco.
This school is great and I had two children there. They both enjoy going to school everyday. I was very worried about my younger daughter how she was doing since she was very shy. But it turn out to be fine. I ask them both everyday about how they were doing at school. I always get an answer "good" and start talking about all kinds of things they did at school. I am very happy about Alamo. All the parents and teachers are very friendly. I feel very safe dropping them off and went off to work.
It's a great school. My daughter loves her class and teacher and extra activities the school offers.
I had two kids and they both loved this school. The PTA here is strong and those kids that have involved parents seem to be the ones whose kids did well. Mr. B you were the best. We will miss you and your teaching style!!
Just because a school has high test scores doesn't make it a great school. I can only speak for the upper grade teachers, but most of them need to retire. If your child is a left brain, auditory learner they will do well here. If your child needs be more hands on and a visual right brain instruction then they will struggle. This school is very traditional and teaches using worksheets. Also if your child has anything special or requires additional help in the class room then this is not the school for you. The only positive thing I can say about this school is it is small and they do have a lot of parent involvement.
Both my sister and I attended this school and all of our friends that attended this school were so happy and well educated here. Now, my own child will start school here. I'm so happy and excited! I know that I'll definitely be getting involved to help and donate in any way that I can to support Alamo!

|by David Brock.
Opinion polls conducted on the first anniversary of the hearings showed that public sentiment in Thomas' favor had weakened, while Anita Hill has become a national celebrity, a heroine credited with putting sexual harassment on the national agenda and thus a symbol of the feminist and civil rights movements who is said to have inspired a political "year of the woman.".
The press has characterized the Hill-Thomas confrontation as an impenetrable mystery whose truth can never be known - an American version of Rashomon. But journalist David Brock dissents from this conclusion. His investigation shows that while there may indeed be no way of knowing exactly what transpired between Thomas and Hill, a great many things can be known about Anita Hill that were not previously disclosed which sharply contradict her public image and raise serious doubts about her credibility.
Brock corrects numerous misconceptions and introduces new factual evidence to answer many questions left open by a notably uninquisitive national press. In the course of his investigation, the official record of the Senate hearings is examined more carefully than the senators' histrionics and the distorting lights of national television cameras permitted at the time.
Evidence is brought forth that has never before been made public, including sworn affidavits, confidential Senate interviews of witnesses, and sections of the FBI file on the Thomas nomination. Numerous details from the report of special investigator Peter Fleming on the leak of Hill's charges, veiled by a media blackout, are unsheathed. And new information gleaned from extensive interviews is reported.
. This book is not about whether Clarence Thomas should have been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Nor does it question whether sexual harassment is a genuine offense. Rather it seeks to determine whether sexual harassment occurred in this case. While partisans of Hill may remain unpersuaded, no matter what the weight of evidence suggests, Brock believes that after hearing all the facts, no reasonable reader will be able to conclude that it did.

MCDONALD, Pa.—Range Resources is suing a southwestern Pennsylvania township for allegedly delaying decisions on whether to let the gas driller open two new wells.
The (Washington) Observer-Reporter reports ( http://bit.ly/WM9awU) Range sued Monday to force Robinson Township to issue decisions on wells that were the subject of permit approval hearings last fall.
Range says the decision on one well was due Jan. 4 and the other on Jan. 24. Range contends it has drilled three wells in the township southwest of Pittsburgh in 2010 and has met the same requirements for the new wells as it has for the others.
But township officials say Range hasn't complied with zoning and noise ordinances on the new wells.
Range wants the court to award money it is losing due to the delays, among other damages.

Feb 07, 2012
With a contested primary in only one party this year, fewer Americans are closely following news about the presidential campaign than four years ago. As a consequence, long-term declines in the number of people getting campaign news from such sources as local TV and network news have steepened, and even the number gathering campaign news online, which had nearly tripled between 2000 and 2008, has leveled off in 2012.
The one constant over the course of the past four elections is the reach of cable news. Currently, 36% of Americans say they are regularly learning about the candidates or campaign on cable news networks. That is virtually unchanged from previous campaigns, yet cable news is now the top regular source for campaign news.
The cable networks also hosted most of the candidate debates, which stand out as a particularly interesting aspect of the campaign. Nearly half of Republicans (47%) have watched a GOP debate during this campaign, up from 32% at a comparable point four years ago.
Read the full report, Cable Leads the Pack as Campaign News Source, on the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press' Web site.

London (CNN) -- Accusations that journalists at Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers hacked into the phones of politicians, celebrities and unwitting people caught up in the news -- including child murder victims -- have severely bruised his media empire.
The scandal forced the closure of Britain's top-selling paper, the News of the World, resulted in the withdrawal of his bid for the satellite broadcaster BSkyB, and led to criminal charges being laid against former senior News International figures, including his trusted UK chief executive Rebekah Brooks. It also led to a wide-ranging inquiry into press standards by Lord Leveson, who is now preparing to publish his recommendations on industry regulation.
The following is a timeline of the scandal:
November 2005
-- News of the World prints a story about Britain's Prince William injuring his knee, prompting royal officials to complain to police about probable voicemail hacking.
January 2007
-- News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire are convicted of conspiracy to hack into phone voicemails of royals and are jailed. Andy Coulson, the paper's editor, insists he is unaware of hacking but still resigns.
July 2007
-- Goodman and Mulcaire sue the tabloid for wrongful dismissal. Goodman receives £80,000 (currently $129,190), and Mulcaire receives an undisclosed amount.
-- Also in July, Coulson is hired as director of communications for Conservative party leader David Cameron, who becomes UK prime minister in May 2010.
June 2008
-- News Group Newspapers pays a £700,000 (nearly $1.13 million) settlement to soccer executive Gordon Taylor, whose phone was hacked by Mulcaire.
November 2009
-- Britain's Press Complaints Commission releases a report concluding that there is no evidence of continued phone hacking.
March 2010
-- A celebrity public relations agent agrees to drop his lawsuit against News of the World for a payment of more than £1 million ($1.6 million).
September 2010
-- Former News of the World journalist Sean Hoare alleges that phone hacking was a common practice at the paper and encouraged by Coulson.
January 21, 2011
-- Coulson resigns as Cameron's spokesman because of coverage of the phone-hacking scandal.
January 26, 2011
-- London's Metropolitan Police launches a new investigation into voicemail hacking allegations at News of the World.
April 5, 2011
-- News of the World chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck and former editor Ian Edmondson are arrested on suspicion of intercepting voicemail messages.
April 10, 2011
-- News of the World officially apologizes for hacking into voicemails from 2004 to 2006 and sets up a compensation system for unnamed victims.
April 14, 2011
-- Senior News of the World journalist James Weatherup is arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept communications.
July 4, 2011
-- It is reported that News of the World journalists possibly hacked into then-missing teenager Milly Dowler's voicemail and deleted messages to free space, causing her parents to believe she was still alive.
July 6, 2011
-- Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., the parent company of News of the World owner News International, promises full cooperation with the investigation and calls the accusations against News of the World "deplorable and unacceptable."
July 7, 2011
-- News International announces that the July 10 edition of News of the World will be the paper's last.
July 8, 2011
-- Coulson is arrested. Goodman, the paper's former royal correspondent who served a four-month jail term in 2007, also is arrested on corruption allegations.
July 10, 2011
-- The 168-year-old News of the World publishes its final edition with the headline "Thank you and goodbye."
July 13, 2011
-- News Corp. withdraws its bid to take over British satellite broadcaster BSkyB, as Prime Minister Cameron announces a wide-ranging public inquiry into the British media.
July 14, 2011
-- The FBI launches an investigation into allegations that News Corp. employees or associates hacked into the phones of 9/11 victims, a federal source says.
July 15, 2011
-- Brooks resigns as chief executive of News International, as Les Hinton resigns as head of the Dow Jones division of the News Group Corp. and publisher of The Wall Street Journal. He was Brooks' predecessor at News International.
July 16, 2011
-- Rupert Murdoch apologizes to the British public with full-page advertisements in seven national newspapers.
July 17, 2011
-- Brooks is arrested on charges of suspicion of corruption and conspiring to intercept communications. She is released on bail after questioning.
-- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson -- who leads London's police and is the UK's highest-ranking policeman -- resigns. It comes after revelations that former News of the World executive editor Neil Wallis later became a communications consultant for police.
July 18, 2011
-- Assistant police Commissioner John Yates, who ruled two years ago that there was no reason to pursue an investigation into phone hacking by journalists, resigns.
-- Home Secretary Theresa May announces that London's police department will be investigated for corruption.
July 19, 2011
-- Murdoch, his son James and Brooks testify before Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee. Colin Myler and Tom Crone, former top executives of News of the World, subsequently accuse James Murdoch of giving "mistaken" evidence.
October 21, 2011

National HIV Testing Day
Event Date: Friday, June 27, 2014 (All day)
Event Type: Awareness Day
Each year, on June 27, the National Association of People With AIDS (NAPWA), in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AIDS.gov, and other national and local entities across the country organizes National HIV Testing Day. This unique initiative sends the message, "Take the Test, Take Control," to those at risk from HIV from those already living with HIV. National HIV Testing Day was developed in response to the growing number of HIV infections in communities of color and other heavily impacted communities. Nearly 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States, and almost one in five don't know they are infected. HIV testing is a critical step in taking control and responsibility over one's health.

Hi I recently bought a house and I need a new bathtub. I measured our space and it's only 58and a half inches long but every tub I see is 60 inches long. Is this normal or do I have to find a tub that's 58 inches long? Please help
The 60 inch measurement is from bare stud to bare stud. So if you are measuring sheetrock to sheetrock or tile to tile, you'll have more space after the removal of the other stud coverings.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,
we had a framer one time that wouldrough frame the tub hole 59 3/4" every time. so we would bump the stud over at the bottom 1/4" and tell him. hey man rough the opening 60 1/4" ok? next job 59 3/4" about the 4 or fith house one of the plumbers removed the whole wall thru it in the back yard and left a note on the tub 60 1/4" !!!!!
we never had to bump the wall again LOL
It depends on your measurement and if you are measuring from tile to tile so you will need more space. It is better to find a 58' inches long tub because 60 inches long tub will not adjust in that space.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Simon Rex,

As we learn more about the genetic changes in cells that cause cancer, treatments are being developed to attack the disease on a cellular level. In gene therapy, genetic material (DNA or RNA) is introduced into the patient's cells to correct defective genes and to help the body fight cancer.
Because gene therapy is still considered to be experimental, it is currently only available in clinical trials.
Houston Methodist Hospital, in conjunction with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, has established the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy (CAGT) to apply innovative and cost-effective cellular and genetic treatment options to our cancer patients.

How Cell and Gene Therapy Works
Your genes are the parts of your cells that contain DNA, the "code" that determines your body's form and function. Researchers have found that certain genetic defects can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer.
Gene therapy as a cancer treatment can work in four different ways:
- Replacing missing or mutated genes that have been shown to play a role in preventing or suppressing tumors (such as the p53 gene)
- "Turning off" mutated genes that cause cancer or "turning on" healthy genes that prevent or help the body fight cancer
- Inserting genes into cancerous cells to make them more evident to your body's immune system
- Changing the genes that control your normal immune cells so that they are better able to recognize and kill the cancer.
Since a gene cannot be inserted directly into a cell, it must be delivered using a carrier, also called a vector. The most commonly used vectors in gene therapy are viruses, which have a unique ability to recognize certain cells and insert genetic material into them. Stem cells and fat cells can also be used. There are two general approaches to introducing vectors into the body to deliver genetic content:
- In ex vivo genetic therapy, cells are taken from your blood or bone marrow and introduced to the vector carrying the desired gene in the laboratory. The cells are grown in a culture in the lab and then reintroduced into the body.
- In in vivo genetic therapy, vectors (usually viruses) containing the desired gene are injected directly into the patient's body.
What to Expect From Cell and Gene Therapy
Your specific treatment will depend on the type of cancer you have and the type of gene therapy being used.
If ex vivo gene therapy is prescribed, the procedure will go something like this:
- You may have blood drawn or a sample of your bone marrow taken.
- The sample will be taken to the lab and introduced to the vector that carries the desired genetic material.
- After the cells take in the genetic material, the sample is re-injected into your body through a vein.
With in vivo therapy, the vector is injected directly into the cancerous tissue, which then absorbs the genetic material.
Side Effects and Risks of Cell and Gene Therapy
Because cell and gene therapy is still in the experimental stage, certain risks are involved, especially when viruses are used as carriers for the genetic material.
- Immune Response: Your body may attack the vector virus, which can lead to inflammation, toxicity and possibly organ failure.
- Viral Spread: It's possible that the virus may spread beyond the cells for which it was intended, which can cause damage to healthy tissue.
- Reversion of the Virus: Researchers have found ways to remove the disease-causing genes from the viruses used as vectors; however, it is possible for the virus to revert to its original form once it's inside the body.
- Possibility of a New Tumor: If the genes are inserted in the wrong spot in the genome, the insertion could lead to the formation of a new tumor.
After Cell and Gene Therapy
As with any cancer treatment, it's important to pay close attention to the instructions from your doctor and to know which warning signs to watch out for in the days and months following your procedure.

Although the Giants haven't won the super bowl since 1991, that is not to say that they have kept themselves out of the running since then. While they are never looked at as the best team or the team that is going to win it all, they always have promising players and dedicated veterans. Eli Manning is only going to improve with time. He soon will step up as team leader especially as he beecomes more comfortable as a NFL quarterback. This year us Giants fans are looking to see somewhat of a different team, with a new dynamic and a new leader. They have the talent to go all the way, they just have to remain consistant which has been one of their problems over the years. One or two good games will not get them to the superbowl. As far as the Mets go....they need no explanation. They have shown their talent year in and year out, they just need to execute it. Both teams have had talent for a long time but they also have the undesirable ability to look like a team of rookies playing together for the first time. Once they get focused, the superbowl and world series are very much in reach. Go Mets and Go Giants!
Down with the Yankees and Jets!
