If you go
Willennar Genealogy Center
To make an appointment for the digital lab, call 925-2414, ext. 420, or stop in during regular hours. Hourlong sessions are available every week at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and at 1 and 2 p.m. Thursday.
Center hours:
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday; noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Scanning and preserving treasured family photos and documents for future generations is an alluring, yet daunting task, but the Willennar Genealogy Center in Auburn has a solution.
The center is offering the use of its digital lab, experienced staff and state-of-the-art equipment to the public at no charge.
The Willennar Genealogy Center, which opened in 2002, is a service of the Eckhart Public Library, also in Auburn.
The library is in the midst of scanning all of its documents and photos and preserving them in digital files and formats.
Employees use a large-format scanner to scan the photos and documents and recently began opening the center�s doors two days a week to make the scanner and software programs available for public use.
Interested residents may book an hourlong slot at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays or at 1 and 2 p.m. Thursdays.
The technology-challenged need not be afraid.
An experienced center employee will be present to guide participants through the process of scanning and saving files.
The center requires participants to make an appointment and bring their own thumb drive or external hard drive to store files.
There is no charge to use the lab, and there are no residence or library card requirements, said Jenny Kobiela-Mondor, genealogy services supervisor.
�We cannot store personal files in our system, so they will need to bring their own flash drive, but anyone can make an appointment and use the digital lab,� Kobiela-Mondor said.
If they wish, lab participants may donate copies of their digital files, including photographs and documents, for the center�s collection.
Although employees are in a constant state of preserving collections, about 9,000 historic photos have already been scanned and are available online, Kobiela-Mondor said.
The photos are scanned and put into a collection management program, then posted on the center�s website.
The center is working with the Indiana State Library to do the same with its historical documents, Kobiela-Mondor said.
Although many documents have been scanned, most are not yet available online, she said.
They are also in the midst of scanning and preserving the gigantic collection of John Martin Smith, a well-known Auburn attorney and local historian who, along with his wife, was killed in an automobile accident in 2011.
Smith had published two books about DeKalb County history. His collection was lent to the center by his family and is contained in 500 banker boxes and six four-drawer filing cabinets.
�It takes up 3,000 cubic feet of space,� Kobiela-Mondor said.
The center�s digital lab will soon take to the streets in the form of three mobile labs. One of the labs is done, and the other two are almost ready to roll, Kobiela-Mondor said.
�We will take these labs out into the public, helping churches, schools and other groups scan and preserve their photos and documents in a digital format, she said.

Report: Sanders reinstated after assault allegation at school
OCT 11, 2013 10:30a ET
I won't sit&witness my PrimePrep kids receive 2nds when they deserve the BEST EDUCATION!There was NO assault but a definite confrontation.
The Person claiming assault is a fake administrator whom does absolutely nothing to help the school,kids or teachers reach our goals. Truth— DeionSanders (@DeionSanders) October 10, 2013
Sanders also told TMZ.com: "We locked up with one another…but he was not physically assaulted."
Sanders added: "He's looking for a pay day. I did nothing to that gentleman that warranted an assault."
Sanders and Prime Prep have been the subject of controversy since the school opened last fall. Prime Prep, which has campuses in Dallas and Fort Worth and kids from kindergarten to grade 12, has been accused of recruiting top players from other schools and failed to meet academic standards this year under the state's new rating system. Eligibility conflicts with its local competition district led to Prime Prep withdrawing its affiliation with the statewide organization that governs public school athletics.
A press release posted Thursday to the school's web site said Sanders is no longer affiliated with Prime Prep.
"Effective immediately, Deion Sanders is no longer an employee or representative for Prime Prep Academy," the release from superintendent Rachel M. King-Sanders stated.
That was followed by another press release early Friday from Lewis:
"On behalf of the board of directors of Uplift Fort Worth…I write in support of the decision to end the relationship between Prime Prep Academy and Mr. Deion Sanders…The school family wishes Mr. Sanders much success in his future endeavors."

The Republican Liberty Caucus very public struggle for power with the Nebraska Republican Party at the State Convention is now a distant memory as the convention was lackluster for the fireworks-starved media. The Omaha World Herald article about the Republican State Convention build-up held in Grand Island last July can be read here. Only 2 of the 35 Nebraska delegates to the Republican National Convention were Republican Liberty Caucus members who intended to cast their vote for their candidate Ron Paul. The Nebraska GOP, and particularly the Governor, was saved any embarrassment and life went on.
Let's now fast forward to tomorrow and the election for the next Chairman of the Sarpy County Republican Party. Elections have consequences and The Republican Liberty Caucus picked up the majority of seats on the Douglas and Sarpy County Central Committees. Central Committee Members are the governing body of the county parties and are the only individuals who can vote to elect their new County Chairman/Chairwoman.
Like it or not, the Republican Liberty Caucus is a political force that the Nebraska Republican Party will need to work with. In Sarpy, the Republican Liberty Caucus and its members are supporting Levi Lippincott. At 27 years of age, Levi would be the youngest Chairman in a very long time. Lippincott is well liked within the Sarpy County GOP and would be able to bridge some of the ideological gap between long time party stalwarts and the droves of new, young members of the Sarpy and Douglas County Central Committees. Levi was instrumental in getting Sarpy County to endorse Nebraska Legislative Candidate Bill Kintner, also the Governor's choice, over the Republican incumbent Paul Lambert. Not endorsing or acknowledging a Republican incumbent even on your slate cards is unprecedented. Levi and the Republican Liberty Caucus also worked hard to elect the Governor endorsed candidate, Richard Carter, in Bellevue.
It was thought that the wife of very popular State Senator Scott Price, Jacqueline Price, would throw her hat in the ring but that did not occur. David Klug and Chris Moore mulled over running against Mr. Lippincott but later pulled out. The only other announced candidate is Tea Party activist Jerry C. Anderson. Jerry founded the Nebraska Tea Party arm of the 9/12 Project, and is a U.S. Veteran. Jerry is running because he feels that he has a good relationship with the Governor and a plan for the county party.
Political Insiders Report Editorial Staff feels that Lippincott will connect much better with the many Libertarian leaning new Sarpy County Central Committee Members. Barring a miracle, based on the numbers we have seen, Anderson could be a sacrificial lamb in this Chairmanship election.

You are here* Projects / Saare Aboudou Latrine Project - Senegal / Conclusion of Saare Aboudou Latrine Project – Senegal
Conclusion of Saare Aboudou Latrine Project – Senegal
The project was to build 8 latrines at households in the community.
Charlene reports:
This project proposed to build eight simple pit latrines in a rural village of 412 people. Money for the project was obtained in Kolda on November 23, 2010.
Project materials (including: 16 sacks of cement, 40 10 m lengths of iron, 8 2 m lengths of 10 cm diameter PVC pipe, 1 m of mesh grillage, 2 kg of wire, and four 2 m by 10 cm boards) were purchased November 29th through December 1st and transported by villagers to Saare Aboudou.
The Saare Aboudou Health Committee held a meeting to decide which households would receive latrines. Holes (1 m by 1 m square, 2-3 m deep) were dug at eight households in the village (households of: Demba Balde, Samba Boiro, Lamajen Diallo, Mamadou Diallo, Ibrahima Diow, Moussa Diow, Yero Gano, and Kinti Mbalo) by the families, based on the number of people living in these households.
Construction of latrines began on December 20th. Families provided the sand, gravel, and water needed to mix the cement, and the mason was paid for each latrine he built.
On December 28th 10 bars of antibacterial soap were purchased for the hand washing causerie and the hand washing and latrine collapse causeries were held on December 29th with 37 villagers (8 men: 29 women) in attendance. I also painted a latrine mural at one of the households that received a new latrine.
Charlene describes the outcome:
The final latrine was finished on January 2, 2011.
Now 184 people have access to sanitary means of defecation and at least 37 people can explain the proper process for hand washing. These latrine platforms should be usable for up to 20 years and the villagers had to put a significant amount of effort into their construction.
People are pleased with the latrines and are now discussing a bigger project to get more people in the village access to sanitation.
We again wish to thank The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding for this project.

Fabulous Coat
By Gazelle
from Colorado Springs, Colorado
Comments about Jack Frost Leather Coat with Shearling Lining:
This leather coat is without a doubt the best coat that I have ever owned. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for! The coat is made with impeccable quality and fits like a glove. I feel great everytime I wear it! I'm sure I will enjoy this coat for many years to come. I visited stores in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico before making my decision. There was only one coat that was my size and the color that I wanted, so the coat was shipped to my house from the Park City, Utah store. Overland is an excellent company!

The last Winter Coat you will ever own
By Warm Mike
from Chicago, IL
A most impressive winter coat in every way. It is hard to find a winter coat that provides both constant warmth and style at the same time. I've only had it for a week and not a day goes by that I don't receive a compliment. Making the daily commute to downtown Chicago in the dead of winter is no easy task but with the Jack Frost on it cuts down on the wind and frigid temps like no other jacket that I have worn before. I also couldn't belive how quickly it arrived at my doorstep after making the order for it the day prior. It is pricy but as mentioned above this is the last winter coat you will ever need.

Worth Every Cent
By JR from the Cowboy State
from Lincoln Nebraska
I have had my coat for the last two years. I live in the Midwest, where winters are brutal. Below zero cold plus wind chills are not uncommon. I wear my coat every day in the winter and I never worry about getting cold and neither will you. In fact last winter, my wife took my truck to work and I had to walk four blocks from my house to the gym and back. It was about 10 below outside and the wind was blowing. I never felt it and never felt cold because I had my coat on. The lining is luxuriously warm and the outside is durable and rugged. My only caution you is that this coat is only for temperatures of about 40 degrees and below. Anything above that and you'll need to switch to a lighter coat. But the operating temperature range for this coat is perfect for places where winters run from about October through mid-April. During those months, this coat pays for itself. Several times over.

I bought this coat for my son's birthday as I know he would not but it for himself as he is a policeman and raising a family. It is worth every penny... soft warm strong and beautifully detailed. He loves it as did we all. The sales person went above and beyond to be sure we were happy.. excellent service...excellent product..

Nice Coat.
By Averagejoe
from Poughquag New York
My intentions writing this review are to be honest. I was looking for a Shearling Jacket/Coat with black leather. I saw this Coat and I fell in love with it. I only had one question and that was, "is this 100% lined with Sheared Shearling"? I called the 1800 number and asked if this coat had Shearling in the Arms and I was told yes, so I immediately ordered the coat and could not wait for its arrival. I even ordered a hat to go with it from another company. The shipping was extremely fast, only a couple of days. When it arrived I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I could not unbox it fast enough. Unfortunately when I tried it on I realized that the sleeves were not lined with Shearling. They were quilted. I was extremely disappointed. I immediately put it back into the box and returned it. The return was very easy and I believe I already received my refund? The coat was very nice and well made. The leather was a very high quality and it looked great. Look this coat may be five stars to someone else but as I said I wanted a Shearling jacket/coat that included the sleeves. I hate to be extremely judgmental but I inquired about the sleeves prior to my purchase. So it was a big let down too me. I wanted to be engulfed in shearling. What else can I say? I was disappointed. As far as size goes. I am a size 44US and there was room for a heavy sweater underneath where my shoulders are. I have a 33 inch waist and this coat was huge in the abdomen area. The sleeves were long. They were down to the middle of my Thumbs. That is fine for a suit jacket but a little long for a coat? The length was fine. If I had been in the store I would have liked to have tried on a size 42. I think a 42 would have fitted well. I can not say for sure because I ordered on line. What I did do is order another jacket from Overland in black and it is Shearling and I think it is fully lined in Shearling? I did not call and ask. Normally I would not order an item from a company that disappointed me in the past but I thought that besides the sleeves, the Jack Frost was a nice coat, and I did order a size 42 instead of a 44. So I am excited once again and can not wait to receive my new Overland Black Shearling jacket( this is a jacket, not a coat) I am keeping my Fingers crossed. Hope it is 100% shearling lined. The other thing I should mention is their return policy was quick and easy, actually extremely easy or I would not have ordered another garment from them. Wish me luck? Thanks.
regret waiting for so long

Municipal taxes are the only taxes that provide any real value. Everything on your list is funded by municipal taxes. The federal government provides a lot less value for tax dollars. How large of a military does the US need for example?
Lets start, no one said exclusively federal taxes were bullshit, the original comment said taxes in general were bullshit. Second not all roads are funded with municipal taxes, Interstates are matched with federal funding. Third the federal government contributes 140 billion to education each year, not close to a military budget but still a contribution.

Do you mean to say my taxes only pay for the desirable things my government does, and at the best possible price at all times? And that without this small group having a unilateral right to help themselves to other people's money -- so long as they honor bureaucratic protocols of course -- civilization would collapse into a Mad Max dytopia?
OP said "It's a stupid system, where people have to pay taxes, but get no benefit from them. " I never said that there couldn't be more efficient ways of doing things, but to imply that there is literally zero benefit would be very much incorrect. We gain large benefits from our taxes daily, misused or otherwise.

"An authentic European recipe for potato pancakes straight from Grandma!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
carrot, peeled and shredded
onion, finely diced
5 cloves
garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon
chopped flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup
olive oil
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 cups
dry bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil for frying, as needed
I noticed that there are complaints about these being tasteless. I used 1 tsp. of salt and omitted one cup of the breadcrumbs and the olive oil called for with the potatoes. I also used Yukon gold potatoes, leaving the skins on. Otherwise I made the recipe as is. The flavor and texture was great! I used a large icecream scoop to measure with. Potato pancakes tend to fall apart right at first if you don't use eggs, so I just press them down and scoot the stray pieces into place. I cover the skillet for the first four minutes. The steam helps the potatoes cook and hold together when you go to flip the patties over. I will make them again!
This was a fine recipe, Authentic is not the right words though. There would be no fresh dill at the particular season these tasty taters were most frequently enjoyed which is winter not spring and summer as much. not to mention the oils and such but it was alright. Dill's flavour can hardly hold up because it is not a hardy herb meant for the extended high heats for frying. use herbs from a woody stalk if you want more flavour. Oregano, marzipan, etc. I prefer to salt my potato cakes after frying but that's just me. anways that's all for now sorry if this offends anyone.

I made this recipe tonight. I was easy and SO good. I did make some additions. First, I made the recipe without omitting anything. Then I added 2 eggs & 1/3 C. Sour cream. They were exactly like the restaurant here the Old European. Mmmm! Hubby loved them. Kids did too.
I love these, they are my family's favourite breakfast. I decided to bake them this time on a cookie sheet with one of those plastic non-stick things on the cookie sheet so there's no sticking. I spread the potato mix over it without any spaces and made it flat. Then baked it at 350 for 40 mins. You lose some of the fried flavour, but it seems healthier to me. I used a pizza cutter to split them into wafer sized pieces. This way if much less work than frying and actually takes about the same amount of time because you can only fry about 2 or 3 at a time and each of those takes about 5-6 mins and smokes up the room pretty good. I will probably still bake and fry depending on what I want. I have never added the bread crumbs and use some eggs in it. The recipe is very versatile and you can mix up the amount of ingredients all over the place and it will still taste great.
Yum Yum. I used red potatoes with the skin left on and omitted the lemon juice and flour. I will definately make these again.
The recipe was easy to follow however it took forever to grate all those potatos! The mixture didn't tend to stick together very well so had to add more flour. They fried up nicely as long as the patties weren't too thick. Flavour was okay. Very watery mixture at bottom of bowl so ended up throwing out approx. one potato's worth. Probably would make these again.
make them as a side dish, family ate all of these before eating pork chops. Next time, no pork chops
These were very good. Didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked, but still tasty. I will definately make again with more spices next time. Thanks for the post.

Neuregulins are a class of naturally occurring protein growth factors that have multiple effects on the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Acorda is developing its lead recombinant neuregulin candidate, cimaglermin alfa, in a number of nervous system and cardiac indications, including heart failure, stroke and peripheral nerve injury. The most advanced of these is a clinical-stage program in heart failure.
Acorda completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of cimaglermin in heart failure patients in late 2012. The trial was designed to study safety and tolerability in a single ascending dose of cimaglermin in people with heart failure who were already on optimized regimens of currently available cardiovascular therapies. Several exploratory measures of efficacy were also included in the trial protocol. Data from the trial were presented at the American College of Cardiology 62nd Annual Scientific Session in March 2013. Further analyses from this same trial were presented at the American College of Cardiology 64th Annual Scientific Session in March 2015.
In October 2013, Acorda initiated a second Phase 1b clinical trial of cimaglermin in heart failure. This is a single-infusion trial in people with heart failure to assess safety and tolerability of three dose levels of cimaglermin studied in the first clinical trial. There are also several explorative measures of efficacy included in the trial, which is expected to be completed in 2015.
Heart Failure
Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's need for oxygen. Heart failure is most commonly the result of damage to the heart, caused by coronary artery disease or from added stress to the heart from other health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Approximately 5.1 million people in the U.S. have heart failure. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that about half of people who develop heart failure will die within 5 years of their diagnosis.
Cimaglermin may offer a unique heart failure therapeutic option, as existing medications aim to compensate for the heart's diminished blood pumping ability, but do not directly restore heart muscle function. Cimaglermin acts at the level of the muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, and may be able to restore cardiomyocyte functions that are impaired in heart failure, which might improve the heart's ability to contract. Preclinical studies have found that cimaglermin improved contractile function and possibly protected the heart structure from acute and chronic stressors.
Stroke/Peripheral Nerve Damage
Neuregulins have also demonstrated a range of effects in neuroprotection and repair in preclinical models of disease and injury to both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In preclinical studies, cimaglermin has been found to partially protect the brain from the consequences of stroke and enhance recovery of sensorimotor function with a wide treatment time window of several days. Preclinical studies have also found improvements in function following damage to peripheral nerves. In a preclinical model that simulates nerve damage that occurs with surgical prostatectomy, cimaglermin was found to protect nerves and restore erectile function.

"Just a quick note to say "thanks" for a job so well done. Chalk one up for working hard on an account that didn't offer you anything except a future opportunity. I'll do what I can to make you and Pinnacle happy that you earned my business. If I can help you in any way to help bring others to Pinnacle, please let me know."
"I must let you know that in the area of customer service and satisfaction my demands are great and rarely ever met before Pinnacle. I no longer can make that statement since banking with your institution. Your Rivergate office handles each and every obstacle with the highest degree of professionalism and resolves issues quickly and effectively. I will stay with your bank because of the exceptional team you have put together and for the unparalleled customer service I have received."
"I use Pinnacle for all my banking needs, both personally and for our family of companies. It's relationship banking, like it was 40 years ago. I'm a person, not just an account, and they've made the effort to get to know all of us."
"When we decided to change banks, we interviewed two or three different banks to see what their online banking products could do. Pinnacle brought us in and walked us through a thorough demonstration of their commercial and individual online banking services. Their online banking offers us everything we were looking for and more, and the ability to see transactions on a real-time basis is excellent."
"What a quality job Pinnacle does with customer communications. You have a great team and we applaud you. My partner has had a personal account with First Tennessee for over thirty years, and yet when he thought of a bank to help him with a recent loan, he thought of you first. Your associates never gave him a reason to think of anyone else. Reminds me of the First American slogan (which I liked) 'where banking is still a people business.' Way to go Pinnacle! My hat's off to you and your associates …. great job!"

BAGHDAD, Oct. 1, 2005 In the dead of night Sept. 24, Iraqi police with the 2nd Public Order Brigade conducted their first raid without oversight by coalition forces.
The mission was directed against members of terrorist groups and criminal gangs in Medain, a district south of Baghdad. In all, the Iraqi police unit detained 20 suspects and confiscated several AK-47 assault rifles.
"Medain is a very important area for us to secure - many people suspected of terrorism live in that region," said Brig. Gen. Hamed Aabdullah Abrahim, 2nd POB commander. "Our brigade is conducting qualitative operations, not quantitative, and it has resulted in a safer Baghdad."
"This is the first joint mission, planned and led by the 2nd Public Order Brigade. The Iraqis are out front," said Army Maj. Rick Ackerman of the Special Police Transition Team. "There was no American intervention - 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry provided an outer cordon and the Special Police Transition Team provided a liaison between coalition forces and the Public Order Brigade."
The Special Police Transition Team is a Fort Drum, N.Y.-based unit that specializes in training and advising the special police in combat. They have worked extensively with the 2nd POB in Baghdad for the past six months.
"The Public Order Brigade will be instrumental in keeping Baghdad safe," said Army Maj. John Hinrichs, a Special Police Transition Team member from Gouverneur, N.Y. "They are critical to security in the city."
The POB is a paramilitary wing of the Iraqi police, designed to provide large-scale law enforcement operations in Baghdad in order to avoid using Iraqi Army troops in dense civilian populations. According to Ackerman, from Jamestown, N.D., the next step is to repeat this type of mission to establish a pattern of competence that will help the Special Police Transition Team assess the POB's readiness.
"The Public Order Brigade will continue doing what they demonstrated today - taking the lead in every aspect of the mission, while they further refine their planning," Ackerman said. "We're moving toward a point where the Public Order Brigade won't need us; Our job is put ourselves out of a job. As the Public Order Brigade stands up, we stand down."
"Conducting joint operations helps both U.S. and Iraqi units," said Army Lt. Col. Robert Kerecz, Special Police transition Team commander. "The more we understand and appreciate each other's capabilities, the more effective team we are."
"We will hunt terrorists wherever they dwell," Abrahim said after the mission. "We give the Iraqi people hope as we develop our army, and make it more advanced - so we may live in peace."
In related news, the Iraq Police Service graduated 669 police officers from the basic police-training course Sept. 29 at the Baghdad Police College.
The Baghdad Police Academy opened its doors in January 2004 and has graduated more than 15,800 students. This was the first basic training course taught entirely by Iraqi police trainers, who received basic and advanced instructor development training at the facility.
The 10-week basic police-training program is designed to provide fundamental and democratic policing skills based on international human rights standards to the students in preparation for assuming police officer responsibilities. The program consists of academic study of general policing topics combined with a heavy emphasis to tactical operational policing skills.
Also, The Iraqi Police Service graduated 223 police officers from advanced and specialty courses at the Adnan Training Facility Sept. 29 as part of the Iraqi government's ongoing effort to train its security forces.
The courses consist of basic criminal investigations with 41 graduates, advanced criminal investigations with 10 graduates, interview and interrogations with 27 graduates, violent crime investigation with 45 graduates, criminal intelligence with 23 graduates and election security with 77 graduates.
The basic criminal investigation course, designed to introduce participants to basic concepts of criminal investigation, covers topics such as theft, burglary, arson, robbery, sexual offenses and homicide investigation. Students receive classroom instruction and hands-on training in fingerprinting, photography, tool marks and plaster casting techniques. The course has graduated 2,627 police officers to date.
The advanced criminal investigation course provides participants with advanced investigative techniques to be used in a variety of situations, but particularly in investigations of homicide, kidnapping, terrorism and bombings. This course has graduated 116 students to date.

Thousands of teachers across Minnesota take the Basic Skills Test every year. They are required to pass it before they receive their license to teach. One lawmaker says about 20-percent of those teachers fail the exam. And now there's a bill in the House that would repeal the Basic Skills Test as a requirement for a teaching license. Some critics of the exam say it unfairly keeps highly qualified teachers out of the classroom.
The Minnetonka School District, for example, has two-thousand students and nearly 100 teachers in its foreign language immersion program. It is one of the state's largest immersion programs. But, the District says nearly 10-percent of the immersion teachers fail the Basic Skills Test. The District says they fail, in part, due to the fact many of them have only had two or three years of training in English, but are very qualified to teach a foreign language. The District would like to see the exam be a little more flexible in situations like foreign language immersion courses.
State Representative, Sondra Erickson, (R) Princeton, does not want to see the test requirement repealed. She taught in Minnesota schools, for more than three decades. Rep. Erickson says it is imperative that teachers pass the Basic Skills Test to ensure the quality of teaching in the state's classrooms remains high. The bill to repeal the Basic Skills Test is now in the House Education Committee, but has not yet been voted on.
