Look For Your Census Form In Mid-March 2010 Census
LAUSD board member looks to modify transfer policy after outcry - The Daily Breeze
LAUSD board member looks to modify transfer policy after outcry
After an outcry from parents, a Los Angeles school board member said Monday he would push to partially overturn a new policy on transfer permits that could force thousands of students now attending South Bay schools to return to LAUSD campuses.
LAUSD board member Steve Zimmer, who represents Westchester, said through a representative that he would seek to let 10th- and 11th-grade permit students attend through graduation at their non-LAUSD campuses.
"Steve's concern is that students who are already in high school should be able to finish high school," said Zimmer's chief of staff, Sharon Delugach. "It's not really so much the emotional turmoil, but how it's going to affect them into college. It would be too disruptive."
Zimmer was traveling in Washington and could not be reached for comment.
His move comes after a Feb. 9 vote in which the board gave Superintendent Ramon Cortines authority to end inter-district transfer agreements in a bid to save money by keeping students in Los Angeles Unified. The item was discussed briefly and generated almost no attention.
Cortines later reported to board members in an internal memo that the move would raise$51 million in enrollment-related state funding for the district, which is facing a $640 million budget gap. The superintendent estimated

ESEA Reauthorization: The Feds Leverage Their 7.5 Percent;
The U.S. Department of Education's "Blueprint for Reform of Education" makes the case for a dramatic rewriting of national policy. In a new issue brief from The Century Foundation, Gordon MacInnes concludes that the Blueprint features some worthwhile and needed changes to the current law, but that it contains some serious problems that Congress should correct before it reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA), formerly known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB).
In "ESEA Reauthorization: The Feds Leverage Their 7.5 Percent" (the entire brief canalso be found at the end of this summary) MacInnes, a fellow at The Century Foundation, supports the U.S. Department of Education's (USDE) efforts to redress some of the most notable problems with NCLB. They include:
- A proposal that states agree on a new set of clear, strong, and relatively fewer standards, followed by cooperatively developed assessments that go beyond multiple choice;

TV debate places union friends and foes in a blame game
Called Intelligence Squared, the program airs on NPR and Bloomberg TV next week, but the transcript (a full 45 pages) of Tuesday's teachers union-themed debate is online now. The program had six panelists debate the power of teachers unions to influence what goes on in classrooms and how much responsibility they should have for the outcomes. Going by the audience votes at the end of the show, the anti-union panelists swung undecided voters to their side — at the beginning of the program, 43 percent of the audience thought unions were to blame for failing schools and by the end 68 percent did.
Among the three pro-union panelists, there was a California superintendent, a Massachusetts elementary school teacher, and Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers. The opposition included a Lo

NJ's Bully Governor Will Not Be "Bullied:" Declares War on Teachers
Having just announced slashes of over $800 million to the state education budget as a way to force concessions from the teachers (see video), Governor Christie has left untouched the budget lines for the cheap non-union charter chain gangs that provide an increasing amount of the penal pedagogy used in containing and segregating children of the urban poor:
In his address to the annual conference of the New Jersey Charter Schools Association in Long Branch, Christie said he largely left the funding for charter schools untouched when he introduced his controversial budget on Tuesday.
"We will do many good things for charters schools. In fact, I've held charter schools harmless in this budget because you already pay enough,'' he said, "There are going to be more charter schools a year from now than there are today."
Who are the 6 Democratic senators poised to kill student loan reform?
Reforming the for-profit student loan system, which allows finance giants like Virginia-based Sallie Mae to make virtually risk-free returns thanks to government subsidies, was a top priority of President Obama. His idea, supported by most Democrats, was to take out the middle-man: Instead of subsidizing private lenders, the feds would completely take over origination of student loans.
The result: The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which the Office of Management and Budget estimated would save over $80 billion over 10 years (critics point out the number is inflated, because it didn't include money lost from defaults; but that's neither here nor there, because the government currently absorbs private losses anyway). Savings would be plowed back into Pell Grants -- much easier on students on the long-term -- and other higher education initiatives.
But as The New York Times writes today, this week six senate Democrats have threatened to derail the Act, writing in a letter to senate majority leader Harry Reid that "provisions of contemplated student lending reform that could put jobs at risk."

Obama effigy hung at RI school with fired teachers
Thursday, March 18th, 2010 -- 3:08 pm
CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. -- A teacher at a failing Rhode Island school where he and all his colleagues were fired hung an effigy of President Barack Obama in his classroom, apparently in reaction to Obama's support of extreme measures to ensure accountability in schools.
The teachers union on Thursday condemned the effigy, discovered Monday in the teacher's third-floor classroom at Central Falls High School, saying it was wrong and cannot be condoned under any circumstances.
The effigy was found in the unidentified teacher's classroom by Superintendent Frances Gallo, Nicole Shaffer of the Rhode Island Department of Education told The Associated Press. Shaffer said the department would not have any further comment.
Gallo did not immediately respond to calls from the AP seeking comment, but she told CNN that the foot-tall Obama doll that she saw Monday was found hung from its feet from a white board and was holding a sign that said "Fire Central Falls teachers."

"If you heard some of the things she's done, you'd turn green," said Abby Waller, a local woman who hopes to turn the shared experience of intolerant family members into a positive for LGBT causes.
Waller said her plan, Daughters for Dollars, sort of haphazardly came together, "I don't have a completely constructed plan, it's really more of a hope." Using causes.com, a fundraising website, Waller hopes to spread awareness and relate to others who also suffer from intolerant relatives. "Hopefully we'll rattle some cages of individuals, to see what we go through in the day-to-day, even with close family members."
"It's trying to turn a really crappy situation into something a bit more positive," Waller said. There are many incidents that have left a sour taste in her mouth when dealing with the woman who raised her, but when her mom changed her profile picture into an image mocking marriage equality, she finally had enough.
The image (above) was made by religious groups to counter the red equality symbol that had spread around social media during the DOMA and Prop 8 cases. Expanding the photo, according to Waller, lead to more hateful things based on biblical scripture. And while it wasn't necessarily a surprise, it was the last straw.
Though Waller personally doesn't keep tabs on her mother any more, Waller's wife still will check in on her just to see how she's doing. That's when Abby saw her mom's new profile photo. "I was shocked," said Waller.
Waller, at one point, had hope for her mother to have a change of heart. When Waller got married last year, her mother came to the wedding and seemed to be supportive. But since then, things have only gotten worse, according to Waller. Now, she consider's herself more estranged from her mother than ever.
But rather than complain or vent about the issue on the internet, she's turned to causes.com and started a fundraising campaign.
Waller took a recent birthday check she had received from her mother, deposited it, and donated it. She's set the goal for her Daughters for Dollars campaign to a modest, $1,000, and the money will go toward the Freedom to Marry campaign.
Her write-up for the cause is a message she hopes will resonate with many in the LGBT and ally community.
My mother may be on the wrong side of history and this hurts me in a way I could never put into words, but I hope that I can turn that pain into progress. Her numerous hateful words about gay marriage have inspired me to start this campaign to raise funds so that some day soon my marriage to my wife will become federally recognized.
This hurt has prompted me to speak out & to do more. Please stand up for what's fair and right. Support the right for every citizen to marry who they love.
My mother may not support my marriage, but you can support your daughter's (or son's, sister's, brother's, friend's, etc.) marriage or right to marry.

Interactive Whiteboards | Brief
Promethean has released a new interactive whiteboard with support for up to six simultaneous touches in an effort to improve classroom activities.
The ActivBoard Touch comes in 78- and 88-inch surface sizes, as well as a dry-erase version, features interaction via gestures such as swipe and pinch similar to cell phones to make them easier to use right away, and are compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux operating systems.
"Twenty-first century educators are shifting students' learning experience beyond simple knowledge transfer and memorization, instead emphasizing the development of collaborative problem solving skills," said Scott Cary, chief marketing and products officer at Promethean, in a prepared statement. "By evolving digital surfaces in the classroom to better facilitate group learning through multi-touch capability, we can support teachers and help cultivate active, motivated learners."

A rapidly growing district, Berkeley was getting ready to open a new middle school for the 2014 school year – their third new school in four years. Among their numerous responsibilities related to the new school, the technology department needed to select and deploy interactive displays for 45 new classrooms. The tech team had experience with many types of interactive technology, with every classroom in the district using some type of interactive device, including interactive projectors and dual-touch interactive white boards (IWBs) using short-throw projectors. This time around they were hoping to find something different.

I'm an airline cabin crew member and was away, but submitted online readings on March 5 for gas and electricity to Extra Energy and British Gas. Other than two 'sorry you are leaving us' emails on February 18 and 20, I'd heard nothing from Extra. The only bill I received from it was last August. I called on March 12, but was told they were waiting for a final reading from British Gas. I called British Gas, who said they would send this. Still no bill has materialised. I chased again on March 29 and May 3.

I searched the coin on eBay and found some examples of the Benjamin Britten coin being listed for thousands of pounds. Have a hit a bit of good fortune, or is it a red herring?

ASK TONY: HMRC owes me £800 - so why has it only sent a cheque for £1?
I have been trying to get a tax rebate from HMRC for the past year and feel I am being either fobbed off or totally ignored. I am 68 and receive a state pension of £75.41 a week and a small private pension of £350.72 per annum. On August 24, I received a reply with a cheque for £1 - which I have framed! I wrote again on September 16 but I have heard nothing.
TONY HETHERINGTON: PPI claims firm made 2.5m cold calls... and one got you to part with £238
In August last year I received a call from claims firm Falcon & Pointer Limited. It assured me it could get me money back from my bank because my bank had missold Payment Protection Insurance. I was aware of negative publicity about no-win, no-fee offers but foolishly I gave my card details and £238 was taken that day.
ASK TONY: Nationwide owes me £4,750 after I bought a faulty VW Golf - but it won't pay out
In June, my son and I bought a VW Golf for £4,750. I paid £650 of this on my Nationwide credit card after reading in your column that this would give me protection under the Consumer Credit Act. After two weeks, the car gave me trouble and was subsequently found to need nearly £3,000 worth of repairs. I tried to return it to the garage as unfit for purpose, but it refused to take it back.
TONY HETHERINGTON: These people claiming to be from the Postcode Lottery are fraudsters - and stupid ones
My brother, who is 84 years old, has just received a letter saying he has won £325k in the People's Postcode Lottery. We are both extremely suspicious, but the letter looks so official that if it is a scam, it might well trick a lot of people.There is a People's Postcode Lottery, warns Tony Hetherington, but this isn't from it.

TONY HETHERINGTON: Pension 'freedom' with a sting in the tail from taxman
I applied to draw down my annual pension from Scottish Widows. In previous years, this has been taxed at the basic rate, less a little tax-free allowance. I was surprised when all my income was taxed at 40 per cent. Scottish Widows said it had been instructed by Revenue & Customs to apply this to all pension drawdowns. Is this a Revenue ploy to extract money in advance due to the new pension freedoms?
I'm living in fear of bailiffs over my last tenant's £3,668 British Gas bill, can you help?
I had a rental property. The tenant left several years ago, after which it stood empty until I sold it last year. British Gas sent me a bill for £3,668. I explained that it was for the tenant to pay and that I had never lived in the property. British Gas said the account would be closed, but now I have been contacted by debt collectors and I fear that bailiffs will arrive over a debt that is not mine.

I set up a pet-sitting business and made only £20 in the tax year 2014/15. I called HMRC and was told all I needed to do was write in, setting out details of the cash movements on my business account. In February, I received a £100 late-filing penalty as I'd not completed a tax return. I was told to appeal, but have heard nothing.
TONY HETHERINGTON: Miss Wisdom, the Canary Wharf 'whizzkid'... and missing £7,000

We went to TRI's Liverpool Street address in London, where we were told it did not exist, and at Mr Mohammed's Canary Wharf address we were told his company had been kicked out.

We live in Fort Lauderdale Florida and people often ask why we travel so far to go to a place that has beaches, palm trees and a tropical climate. We realize that these people have never been to Maui, because if they had, they would realize that nothing compares to Maui's unique beauty and wonderfully genuine people!
The Owner purchased this condo in 2009
After 10 years of planning, we finally realized our dream when we purchased this beautiful Maui Vista condo. We would now like to take the opportunity to make your dreams come true by being our guests in this comfortable Hawaiian retreat.
Location of this condo building and unit are ideal! Not only is it across the street from the nicest of Maui beaches, but the town of Kihei has everything within a short distance that you could need or want. Restaurants, shops, supermarkets, post office, movie theatres, rental activity stores and more!
The unit was great. The new bed was perfect, but that sliding glass door, wow, too cool! The air conditioner worked really good. We are A/C frugal people, so we watched it very closely and used the "econ" setting while only using it at 80 when we where in the unit. Everything worked without a hitch. We replaced a Tommy Bahama chair that was getting kinda frail (a small gesture).
There are other islands we should check out, but, we have become really connected to Maui. This is largely in part to where we are staying. It is in the perfect location for what we like to do. Karen and I walked twice from your condo to the far end of the Wailea walkway. Over 8 miles! I bought a skateboard for getting around Kihei Road (daily trips anywhere from Fred's Cafe to Long's and the Post Office). Breakfast at Kihei Cafe. Great dinners at Mama's Fish House and the Monkeypod Kitchen. Sunsets, whale sightings, and Eskimo Candy's "fast food" fish and chips. Your place has become as much a part of going to Maui as the island has to offer.
had a great time, very clean, friendly staff and I would recommend it to my friends
This property was exactly what my wife and I needed for a quiet getaway. Located right across from a great beach, we could easily have just spent our days walking around the area.
We were able to get to all the great beaches on southern Maui within a short 15 min drive at most.
The condo had all the essentials for our stay and was very easy to get to. All of the beach equipment came in very handy and was much appreciated. The condo even came with a Foodland membership card, which was very useful, since without it the groceries are much more expensive.
Overall the rental was perfect for the combination of price and location, I would definitely return in the future.
Thanks for a great stay Matthew!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This property is well taken care of and has everything you would need for your stay such as, beach chairs, umbrellas, scuba gear, boogie boards plus more! It really gives you a feel of what living in Maui is like. I prefer staying here over any resort. Matthew was attentive and quick at responding. Thank you!
We had a terrific first stay in Maui in a modern, clean and conveniently located ground floor condo. Our lanai opened on to beautifully maintained grounds that were close to both the pool and the beach access. The building also offered two BBQ's and tennis courts. The condo was well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling gear.
We enjoyed short walks to fun restaurants (Moose Mcgillycuddy's for dinner and happy hour and the Tiki Lounge for the Sweet Kalua pizza).
Reserving the property was easy and all questions were answered in advance by the owner, who was great to deal with. Thanks Matthew!
We hope to return to Maui again and will definitely stay in this condo.
Well kept ,comfortable,fully equipped condo.
Easy access to pool, barbecue, beach, and supplied with all you need to enjoy each activity
The landlord has got to be rated at 100%. Absolutely the best to deal with. He makes you feel like you are part of his family so much so that we keep coming back.
The location of this resort is perfect for walking to restaurants ,beaches,shopping or local parks for just going for walks /evening strolls.
There is so much to see and do in the Kihei area that makes this property an excellent place to stay.
Nicely furnished condo in a well cared for complex! It is within walking distance of many restaurants and beaches! The concierge RW was there daily to help with any needed information and excursion reservations..We enjoyed breakfast at Ami Ami and Kihei Cafe. Had dinner twice at Moose McGillicudy's as my husband loved the Teriyaki Bowl and cheap happy hour. The Cinnamon Roll Place was great, also! Burgers and fries at Cafe Ole'were delish. Would stay here again. The owner was more than kind and helpful, too!
White sand beaches across the street (170 steps off the lanai!) and many more within walking distance, whale watching, scuba diving and snorkeling, island tours, drives to Hana/Iao Valley/Lahaina/Makena/La Perouse/Haleakala volcano, massage, aquarium, helicopter rides, waterfalls, caves -- the list is endless!
