New trails laid for childhood leukaemia hunt: Responses to infection and viruses, rather than radiation alone, are being suggested as causes of blood disease, reports Michael Balter
Monday 11 January 1993
A report by a team of epidemiologists headed by Gerald Draper of Oxford University and published in the British Medical Journal, confirms and updates the findings of the 1984 panel chaired by Sir Douglas Black, which concluded that there was indeed a 'cluster' of childhood leukaemia cases and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the village. And it provides new evidence that the cluster, based on statistics for 1963 to 1983, was 'highly unlikely' to have happened by chance.
The Draper analysis shows that in the six years after the Black report, the incidence of the diseases in the 0 to 24 age group remained higher than the national rate and those for the surrounding areas. But the study sheds no light on the cause. In particular, it neither supports nor disproves the controversial hypothesis, put forward in 1990 by Professor Martin Gardner of Southampton University, that there was a statistically significant relationship between a father's radiation dose in the six months before the conception of his child and the risk of the child subsequently developing leukaemia.
Professor Gardner's results have not been confirmed by other studies. For example, a survey of nuclear facilities in Ontario, Canada, published last year, found no increased risk of leukaemia in the children of fathers working at the plants. The Gardner results are further confounded by the fact that the cases were confined to Seascale, even though most of the workers at the Sellafield reprocessing plant live elsewhere.
These and other complications have led a number of scientists to suspect that other factors may be playing an equal, or even greater role. And although most epidemiologists believe that radiation and environmental pollution can be blamed for only a small fraction of childhood leukaemia, the emerging evidence suggests that Sellafield and other nuclear plants may be special cases, albeit with the potential to provide more general insights into the causes of the disease.
Sir Richard Doll, of Oxford University, says: 'It does look as if there's some suggestion that, within the areas around many nuclear installations, there has been an excess of childhood leukaemia.
'But in this country and in Germany there has also been an excess reported in areas where nuclear stations were planned but never actually built. There is a lot to suggest that it is something characteristic of the area, rather than of the nuclear installation.'
Two British scientists - Melvyn Greaves, director of the Leukaemia Research Fund Centre at the Institute for Cancer
Research in London, and Leo Kinlen, director of the Cancer Epidemiology Research Group at Oxford - have set the leukaemia research world abuzz with a pair of related hypotheses, which trace childhood leukaemia to rare or unusual responses to infections early in life, including possible exposure to viruses.
Dr Greaves, in particular, has noted puzzling associations between a child's socio-economic status and the risk of falling victim to leukaemia. Unlike most other diseases, leukaemia poses a four times higher risk to children in developed countries than to those in the developing world.
This correlation was reinforced by a study released last year by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. A survey of 10,000 cases of childhood leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, led by Dr Draper's Childhood Cancer Research Group, concluded that the incidence in the wealthiest fifth of the British population was 10 to 15 per cent higher than in the poorest fifth.
Dr Greaves has suggested that the most frequently diagnosed type of childhood leukaemia - common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia - is caused by at least two spontaneous mutations in the child's white blood cells, which are important for the immune response. This model is consistent with the mechanisms now thought to cause other, better understood, types of cancer.
The first mutation occurs while the foetus is in utero, when the cells are immature and rapidly dividing, a situation that makes their DNA more vulnerable to the copying errors that can lead to genetic alterations. The second mutation is triggered later in childhood, when an infection stimulates the mature white cells to divide again.
Dr Greaves proposes that children exposed to viruses relatively late in childhood - including the offspring of wealthier families, who may be more sheltered from other children - may be at higher risk of a second mutation, either because their delayed exposure to infection results in a more powerful immune response or through a direct effect of the virus on their bone marrow where the white cells are manufactured.
But Professor Kinlen suspects that viruses may be a more direct cause of certain cases of childhood leukaemia, analogous to the role of HTLV-1 virus in some types of adult leukaemia. Such 'transforming' viruses cause genetic damage when their genetic material becomes incorporated within the DNA of the target cell.
Professor Kinlen bases this view on a number of epidemiological studies he and his colleagues have performed on the effects of population mixing. The most dramatic finding concerns the new towns constructed in post-war Britain to relieve overcrowding in large cities; those built in rural areas had leukaemia rates up to six times greater than expected.
These results, Professor Kinlen argues, are most consistent with a viral explanation. 'When many people come together from different geographic regions,' he says, 'an increase of contacts occurs between infected and susceptible individuals: the basis for the spread of any infection.'
Sir Richard Doll finds the Greaves hypothesis 'biologically very attractive', because it would explain the increase in childhood leukaemia in Britain that occurred between about 1920 and 1945, during a period when standards of health and hygiene dramatically improved.
The ideas of Dr Greaves and Professor Kinlen may eventually help provide a better understanding of the mechanisms behind childhood leukaemia, as well as a clearer explanation for the anomalies of the situation at Sellafield.
'It may be that radiation-induced damage to the sperm of the fathers at Sellafield initiated a predisposition to leukaemia,' Dr Greaves says, 'but that it was insufficient in itself. Something else may have been required - the sort of virological effect that Kinlen and I have been proposing.'

An unexplored, taboo and poignantly pivotal element of Africans in americas history is the molestation of the Men, they would choose the biggest, Blackest and most respected Black man and sodomize him in front of the plantation to phsycologically scar them all.
What if any is the effect today?
Does the effeminization of our Black men have anything to do with this?
This history while not spoken of commonly has never stopped for 400 years, even to this day. In 2013when 400,000 households were "polled" 38% of the molestation occured to males. What has this done to the Relationships between Black Men and Women, Children, families?

Should African American Males Get Manhood Training From Africans?
in Women
Current statistics state that 53 percent of American children are being raised in single parent, female headed households. For African Americans, that number is significantly higher. Since the the past three generations, the percentages of fatherless homes have increased, meaning the examples for young boys on how to be husbands and fathers is missing. A mentor, a coach or a teacher with an occasional encouraging word is not enough. The young men in this generation need cultural training on how to create and maintain a family. Can we turn to our brothers on the continent of Africa whose cultural heritage may be a bit more intact and look for help with manhood training? Or are Africans just as emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged from racism as African Americans? Rev. Derrick Rice, co-founder of Let Us Make Man, has travelled to countries across Africa. He shares his perspective on the cultural practices of African families that prepare boys for manhood

Senseless Killings By Police Officers Going Unpunished
Year after year over 500 innocent lives are taken by armed police officers who are abusing and misusing their authority. Why haven't our Federal Supreme Justice of Peace courts and U.S.A. government stepped up to stop and harshly punish these police officers who are using their positions, badges and authority to KILL so many innocent people? The U.S.A government doesn't seem to have any problems sending our U.S. military to other countries to help them fight against the malicious killings by the authorities and terriorists in their countries, so why won't they do it here on U.S.A soil even if it is "Americans" in authorative positions doing the senseless killings? This has got to stop. We want to put Dillon Taylor in the spotlight along with Michael Brown because they were both young unarmed males who were brutally killed without just cause by certain Ferguson Police Officers.

Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 972
in Self Help
Tonight's special guest host is Barbara Ochoa from San Francisco, a returning NAASCA family member who has been with us several times. That's because Barbara (aka Petra Luna) has a special mission, one which we share with her here at NAASCA. Each year for the past three years, Barbara has produced a series of events celebrating what's become known as Male Abuse Awareness Week (MAAW -- the first week of December). Each year, recognizing that young males have an especially tough time even talking about being abused as kids, Barbara reaches out to this frequently undeserved group with videos, music events, dance and special guest appearances (Help4Guys.org). She encourages victims of abuse to seek help, justice and recovery through her music and nonprofit organization, the P.Luna Foundation. Barbara will be joined tonight by her guests Patrick Donaldson and DeWayne Watts. Patrick is engaged in revealing Male Military Spouse abuse issues and manages the web site www.MachoSpouse.com. DeWayne is the author of several books including the novels "The Boy in The Wood" and "David's Mark" and writes a blog at www.DeWayneWatts.com, where one can keep up to date on all his current projects. Join us to discuss these and other issues pertaining to Male Abuse Awareness Week.
Faith Is all you Need
in Spirituality
Faith will be what gets you in the door. God says we are going to the "Big House!" Many of you are aware that you are going to the "Big House!" God says you are packing too many things while trying to make it. Some people are quitting because they are worn out and some have not begun because they are looking at the complexity of even traveling.
God says step out on Faith and leave all the bags behind. God has everything you need to make it to your destination, but it is you (say your name) who is hindering your own blessing (s). It is time to regain your strength and go where God wants to take you. You only need your faith. God says you can make the journey, it is the weight that you are carrying that is holding you.
Segment #2-I am getting ready to launch our Built2Last Conference. This conference is to save our youth. We need systems in place and we need to train and teach our youth. Special emphasis will be on our young men of all races and our young ladies. The murders in the AA population are as following (Black on Black crime, Murder period). In the Caucasion race, we see (Murder Suicide) and the Hispanic culture (Murder, but that has gone down). A few months ago (20 weeks ago), I researchd the AA males who were killed on the street by police for whatever reason and the numbers are climbing so that by tomorrow my data will be inaccurate. We need this program that is coming and we are starting in Waco. We have to save our youth (ALL youth) no matter what age, race or background.

Watch Pollard and Warner Go Six Crazy: Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Highlights
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Deepak Vikraman | May 1, 2014 4:48 AM EST
Kieron Pollard treated everyone to some unbelievable six-hitting, but it was Dale Steyn and the Sunrisers Hyderabad that came away with smiles on their faces as the Mumbai Indians suffered their fifth straight defeat in IPL 2014.
The final match in the UAE was a brilliant T20 match, with the Sunrisers posting a big total of 172 for five in their 20 overs, thanks to a half-century from David Warner and an equally good knock from youngster KL Rahul.
In reply, the Mumbai Indians were in deep trouble after losing three early wickets, but Pollard played one of those T20 innings, hitting six sixes, including three consecutive ones off Amit Mishra, to take the game right down to the wire, before the Sunrisers held their nerves to pick up their second win in five games this season.
"The bowlers were brilliant under pressure and we are really getting stronger as a team," an elated Sunrisers captain Shikhar Dhawan said.
Dhawan also praised the facilities in the UAE, with the match on Wednesday in Dubai being the final one as IPL 2014 now heads back to India. "The wickets have been great here in the UAE and so has the support, we have really enjoyed it," he added.
Rohit Sharma, who could only manage one run on his 27th birthday, was understandably disappointed, even if MI, the defending champions, at least made a game of it this time, something they have been unable to do all season.
"It is frustrating that things are not going our way, we started off really well with the ball but if you don't keep getting wickets then they can take us out the game," Sharma said, with a century partnership between Warner and Rahul swaying the first innings SRH's way.
"We wanted to chase so I have no problem fielding first. We have to win pretty much all our games from here on and going back to our home conditions will help us, we have to stay positive."

deadline.com – EXCLUSIVE: Jesse Eisenberg is exiting ICM after more than a dozen years at the agency that helped put him in The Social Network which earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination. The agency hoped it could hold him, but sources tell me he was surrounded by a bunch of CAA clients on his current film in production Now You See Me and "CAA started hitting on him and he's buying the pitch".

23 Manchester, PA Ironwork Professionals
Without ironworkers and their structural know-how, many of the great buildings of the world would never have come to be. But most Pennsylvania homeowners are more likely to hire an ornamental or architectural ironworker, who crafts metal pieces that are visible on the exterior. From window frames to grates and balconies, from screens and fences to hardware, these pros shape iron into forms that are as decorative as they are functional. More

Report: Nets, Cavaliers talking Jarrett Jack for Jason Terry swap
Feb 17, 2014, 5:23 PM EST
Jarrett Jack came off the bench last season for a Golden State team that made a nice playoff run going small (remember that three guard line-up with Jack, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson?).
Brooklyn has had found it's idenity and had some success going small this season, and they are now looking to add pieces that fit with that style — one might be adding the Lakers' Jordan Hill, reports Adrian Wojnarowski.
Another, bigger move might be to bring in Jack and have him playing behind (and along side at times) Deron Williams. The Cavaliers and Nets are talking a Jack for Jason Terry swap, reports Marc Stein at ESPN.
The Brooklyn Nets are interested in acquiring Cavaliers point guard Jarrett Jack and have had discussions about a potential trade with Cleveland involving Jason Terry, according to sources briefed on the talks.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets, eager to add a proven ballhandler and backcourt scorer to their bench rotation, are willing to take on the two remaining guaranteed seasons worth in excess of $12 million left on Jack's contract despite the luxury-tax implications.
But it's believed that the Cavs, if they decided to go ahead with such a move, would try to find a third team to absorb Terry's contract. Terry, 36, has one season left on his deal after this one at $5.85 million and is averaging just 4.5 points on 36.2 percent shooting in 16 minutes per game.
Despite their struggles the Nets remain in a win now mode and know they could put together a run to pass the Raptors and win the Atlantic Division (they are 3.5 games back) and they know that so long as they are a 3-6 seed the second round of the playoffs are a realistic possibility. While Jack has not been his old self in Cleveland (8.5 points a game on 39.7 percent shooting) he could fit in and help the Brooklyn bench.
For the Cavaliers, this would be all about saving money. They also are close to making the playoffs but Jack and his play are not the key to that happening. But if they want to move Terry's salary on to another team, there will have to be a sweetner.
In what is likely a slow trade deadline week, this may be as good a deal as we see. If it happens.
- jamesk2465 - Feb 17, 2014 at 5:51 PM
Hopefully the Cavs can get this done. They can find a better pack up PG who can do the things Jack can do, if not better for less money like Delly or someone else.

The Cavs are going to be in need of a starting pg after next season.
- chief0727 - Feb 17, 2014 at 7:04 PM
AH HA HA HA HA HA ! You kill me Tom. Actually if Kyrie becomes the 1st rookie to decline an extension, the Cavs still can match any contract offer–so he's here for another 2 years at least !
Besides why would he go anywhere when he and LeBron showed last night how good they'll be when LeBron comes back next year ( I know he isn't coming back to Cleveland–but it's fun to poke the bear that is the Miami fans).

- mp4philly - Feb 17, 2014 at 11:04 PM
I guess it's safe to say that Jason Terry getting a Brooklyn tattoo this summer was a bit of a reach on his part.

Yemen's Ruler 'Embraces' US Drone Strikes as Military Offensives Continue
Drone Strikes a Key Part of Efforts to Reconquer Country
Very few foreign rulers are so completely and totally US-approved as Maj. Gen. Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the current head of the Yemeni regime. After former US puppet Ali Abdullah Saleh fell out of favor, US-assisted foreign "negotiations" led to a "election" with Hadi as the only candidate possible, no write-ins allowed, for the role of president.
So you can see where Hadi, whose "election" the US praises as a model for the region, would be more than a little grateful. The reports are, however, that he really likes the drone strikes. Not just in that shrugging sort of way that other foreign leaders have learned to live with them, either.
Former President Saleh lost control of vast portions of the country in his waning months, with provinces like Abyan declaring themselves independent "emirates" and other regions becoming de facto autonomous. Hadi's regime has based its entire platform on reconquering those regions by sheer force of arms, and having US drones looming overhead lobbing missiles into the regions is just fine with them.
The civilians getting killed in those attacks are less okay with them, and there have been reports of soaring anti-US sentiment in those regions, as well as support for the insurgencies as an alternative, since Hadi certainly isn't going to do anything about the strikes. At war with his own people, the hand-picked US "successor" sees free missile strikes as too sweet a deal to pass up.

Nouveau's Big Batch Of Changes Land In Linux 3.17
Published on 10 August 2014 09:52 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
10 Comments
Being merged into the mainline kernel code-base for Linux 3.17 was
the big DRM feature pull
that included enhancements to the Intel and AMD Radeon graphics drivers (among the other smaller DRM/KMS drivers), but missing from action was the open-source NVIDIA driver. The Nouveau driver changes were delayed by some last-minute bug-hunting but now a separate pull request was issued to land the Nouveau driver updates for
Linux 3.17
Among the highlights for the Linux 3.17
relating to Nouveau for open-source NVIDIA graphics:
- Furthering of the NVIDIA
Kepler GPU that's found within the
Tegra K1
SoC. Code contributed by NVIDIA for this high-performance mobile ARM GPU include probing and re-clocking support. The GK20A re-clocking doesn't bring any new magic to the Nouveau driver but is using a statically defined performance state table.
- Outside of the Tegra space, NVIDIA also helped out in fixing up Kepler GPUs on Nouveau that have their graphics engine powered off on startup.
- Removing lots of hard-coding of graphics engine setup details for Fermi/Kepler/Maxwell GPUs. This improvement should particularly help out higher-end NVIDIA graphics cards, according to Nouveau maintainer Ben Skeggs.
- Support for Zero Bandwidth Clear on Fermi/Kepler/Maxwell graphics cards. The Zero Bandwidth Clears is actually a
NVIDIA feature, "A system and method for performing zero-bandwidth-clears reduces external memory accesses by a graphics processor when performing clears and subsequent read operations. A set of clear values is stored in the graphics processor. Each region of a color or z buffer may be configured using a zero-bandwidth-clear command to reference a clear value without writing the external memory. The clear value is provided to a requestor without accessing the external memory when a read access is performed." Ben explained that this feature also needs user-space support but some applications can benefit already from the support.
- Reviewed and exposed the full object APIs to user-space, for exposing information like performance counters, the aforementioned Zero Bandwidth Clear controls, and other events. Other interface additions are expected in future kernel revisions.
- Other fixes, including a fix for using Nouveau in a headless mode.
Overall it's a fairly nice set of changes for this kernel cycle for this largely reverse-engineered, open-source NVIDIA driver while it's great to see NVIDIA Corp providing a bit more help to the team. With the Linux 3.16 kernel came
Nouveau re-clocking support for Kepler GPUs
it doesn't work for all Kepler GPUs and not for all pstates
, but at least when it works,
it can boost the performance a lot
. With Linux 3.17 there doesn't appear to be any breakthroughs for re-clocking like adding Fermi support, dynamic re-clocking based upon load, or other long sought after features, but we can always look forward to Linux 3.18 and beyond. With Linux 3.17 they did decide to
hid again the pstate sysfs file
that's used for re-clocking. There's now a
module parameter for exposing the file on the basis the file is going to be moved in the future.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Asiana Airlines said Monday it will sue a TV station that incorrectly reported racially offensive names of four pilots onboard the flight that crash-landed in early July at San Francisco International Airport.
An anchorwoman at KTVU, a Fox affiliate based in Oakland, California, fell victim on Friday to an apparent prank and reported four bogus pilot names, including "Sum Ting Wong" and "Wi Tu Low," during the noon newscast. Within hours, the broadcast footage had gone viral on the Internet, drawing widespread criticism and ridicule.
"We decided to sue KTVU because Asiana Airlines thinks their news defames our pilots and our company's reputation," Kiwon Suh, an Asiana spokesman, said Monday.
During an extended on-air apology late Friday, KTVU said it failed to "read the names out loud, phonetically sounding them out." But in a bizarre twist, the station also blamed the National Transportation Safety Board, which had confirmed the names for the station prior to the broadcast.
The NTSB apologized late Friday and acknowledged that a summer intern who was answering phones as a volunteer at the agency confirmed the fake names "in good faith" for KTVU. So far, neither KTVU nor the NTSB have explained where the names originated.
On Monday, Suh, the Asiana spokesman, played down earlier reports that the company threatened legal action against the federal agency as well. "We will never sue the NTSB," Suh said.
KTVU and the NTSB did not respond to requests for comment on Monday.
KTVU's gaffe came five days after Asiana disclosed the names of the pilot and co-pilot on Flight 214 as Lee Kang-kook and Lee Jeong-min, respectively.
The station, which is owned by the media conglomerate Cox, said Sunday that Tori Campbell, the co-anchor who read the newscast, will take a leave of absence following "the fallout from a racist name prank of which she was an unwitting participant."
The crash of the Boeing 777 plane resulted in the deaths of three teenage girls in a group of students from eastern China who were visiting the United States for a summer camp. Over 180 passengers and crew members were injured.

Alzheimer's group hails `bravery' of Reagan
Monday 07 November 1994
No world celebrity of his stature has before publicly owned up to a dreadful disease that will inevitably cause the degeneration of his brain cells and loss of personality.
Almost certainly it would not have happened in Britain, where any form of mental disorder, curable or incurable, is still stigmatised, hidden and counted a matter of shame.
Here even physical illness in national leaders is viewed as personal weakness. Rumours abound that Lord Wilson of Rievaulx, who has taken little part in public life for years and none in the past nine months, has Alzheimer's. These are denied. An associate said last night that he was not well, but that his condition went back some 12 years. Lord Wilson's family was adamant that he did not suffer from Alzheimer's, he said.
Only passing mention of Alzheimer's disease is made in the obituary columns. The former footballer Danny Blanchflower died as a result of it nearly a year ago. Alex Lyon, the Labour MP for York between 1966 and 1983 who died in October last year, was also a sufferer. There would appear to be a consensus that the British public has little appetite for such intimacies. In America, all is different. The treatment for alcoholism of Betty Ford, wife of the former President, Gerald, became a matter of public congratulation.
Harry Cayton, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Society in Britain, described Mr Reagan's announcement as brave and welcome. His organisation seeks to destigmatise Alzheimer's and has been looking for a well-known sufferer who might be prepared to carry its banner.
He said: ``The disease has quite a different profile in the US. The reason for this is probably the very powerful lobby of older people and the pressure they are able to put on. It has resulted in a very high level of research being undertaken.
``There has never been such a stigma over mental diseases. Americans are much happier to talk about their psychological problems, their therapy, their marital break-ups. Here we are extremely reticent.''

Why Spray Painting Your Lawn is an Act of Patriotismby Jed Oelbaum
On Tuesday, November 6 I'll be doing what Americans nationwide will be doing: heading to the polls to elect a president. But, I also live in California, a state that in the last four years alone has seen public schools endure $20 billion in education cuts. On Election Day, I—and every other Californian—have the opportunity to show our support for public education by passing two education-focused initiatives, Proposition 30, the Schools & Local Safety Protection Act, and Proposition 38, Our Children Our Future. With these initiatives, we will send a message to our state leaders that the voting public cares about education and it should be a priority for our state once again.
The two propositions are models for legislation in other states impacted by education cuts. Proposition 30 "temporarily increases personal income taxes on the highest earners—couples with incomes over $500,000 a year—and establishes the sales tax at a rate lower than it was last year." That will provide up to $6 billion per year, most of which is restitution funding for K-12 education, public colleges, and universities, plus some new funds for public safety. The revenue from Prop 30 is already included in the 2012-13 state budget, therefore failure of this proposition would trigger a $5.4 billion cut to education.
Proposition 38, alternatively, provides $7-10 billion per year in new funding for K-12 and preschool education, including funds to offset some education funding losses triggered by the potential failure of Prop 30. It would tax Californians "on a sliding scale based on the ability to pay, with the wealthiest Californians paying the most." A family earning between $25,000-$50,000 would pay about $54 a year.
As with most issues these days, the discussion around these initiatives has become exceedingly politicized, to the extent that many Californians have already forgotten what the discussion is really about—the kids and the future of this state. Voters are led to believe they must debate the strengths and weakness of the two competing ballot measures, when they should be focusing their attention on the only goal that really matters: maintaining and improving California's public education for our children and our future.
This perceived "competition" could lead to a dire outcome—a divided vote, which would mean failure of both measures. Opponents of the measures are even spreading the rumor that if both pass, Californians will be taxed twice. That's not true—only the measure with the most votes is put into effect.
Who are the biggest losers if both initiatives fail? Everyone.
Students could lose an additional three weeks of instruction—after having already lost up to five days in recent years—not to mention ballooning class sizes, shutting of school libraries, elimination of physical education, termination of reading specialists, and ongoing technological stagnation. Failure to pass one or both of these initiatives will also affect the college students who can't get their desired classes or afford tuition increases.
Let's not forget how this impacts our future. What will California, the eighth largest economy in the world, be like when these improperly educated children grow up and become the guys who fix the planes we fly cross country in—or the 911 dispatchers we call in an emergency, or the nurses at our bedside when we are old and unable to think for ourselves? In essence, the future workforce of California and the future economic stability of our nation will be impacted by the results of these initiatives.
Our education system is a skeleton compared to what it should be. We've eliminated preschool, shortened school years, laid off tens of thousands of K-12 teachers, and raised tuition at universities. We've been pilfering from our children and the future of our state for years. As the hangover from the financial crisis drags on, we face the very real prospect of even more staggering cuts to education, which will hinder California's economic prosperity for decades to come.
While neither proposition is perfect—and there's much work ahead to completely renovate California's education system—it's time to get on the right path. The only way to give every child in this state any chance at a high-quality education is a "yes" vote for both education measures.
