Fourth Street Elementary School students gather in a hallway Friday as Tamera Stephens, an after-school instructor, takes roll. Clarke County spends $5,525 per student annually on instruction, almost $500 above the state average. The school district's instructional budget accounts for almost two-thirds of the total budget.

Across the board, the Clarke County School District spends more on its students than the state average - in areas that include instruction and pupil services as well as general administration and maintenance - and a breakdown of where those costs happen is the first step in squeezing down next year's budget.
The district, facing the loss of $4.59 million in state funds for existing expenses because of budget cuts, already is trying to find ways to cut back its 2004-05 budget. At a workshop this week, district staff introduced proposals for almost $3.37 million in cuts - the lion's share of which would come from the elementary, middle and high schools by eliminating about 19 teaching positions and as many as 29 paraprofessional teacher's aide positions.
The district's instructional budget, which includes those salaries and benefits, currently makes up almost two-thirds of the total budget, according to a breakdown of expenses over the past four years. The analysis shows that Clarke County spends more per student on instruction than the state average for school districts - $5,525 versus $5,042 - although instruction makes up a somewhat smaller percentage of the district's total budget than the state's average.
''I think the first step in the (budget) process is knowing exactly what we've done in the past,'' said district services director James Simms, whose department did the spending analysis. ''We've figured out how much we're spending and what we're spending it on. The next step is to see where we need to adjust it.''
General administration spending per pupil - an expense that some parents and others in the community have expressed concern about - is currently about $555, about 6.4 percent of the district's budget. That's higher than the state average of $311 per pupil and 4.3 percent of the budget for that area.
The general administration budget includes expenses for the school board, the superintendent, some clerical support and central services such as human resources and community relations, as well as businesses services and expenses for the district's Parent Information Center.
The higher spending figure is driven by a number of factors, including a high poverty rate that brings in more grant money and some expenses that probably don't belong in that portion of the budget, Simms said. All worker's compensation expenses, for example, have been placed in the general administration budget, while many other districts spread them out under other appropriate areas, such as school administration and maintenance and operations, which includes salaries and benefits for custodial staff.
The general administration budget also includes $1.8 million for technology services that maintain computer networks and equipment not just in the central office but in the schools, Simms said. The $1.8 million is 30 percent of the total general administration budget in Clarke County.
The district services staff offered a budget breakdown in seven areas - instruction, pupil services, staff services, general administration, school administration, transportation and maintenance and operations. Actual spending per pupil is higher in all those categories than state averages, although the percentage of the total budget isn't always higher.
Spending is also higher than the average in 10 ''peer districts'' of the same size, although Simms cautioned against relying too heavily on those comparisons. The comparisons don't take demographics into account, which can affect funds and spending, he said.
As an example, he cited the Clarke County School District's high poverty rate - two-thirds of students are eligible for federal Title I funds for children who live in poverty. Most of the peer districts in the comparison, such as Carroll, Glynn and Newton counties, had poverty rates somewhere in the 40 percent to 50 percent range. The highest was Spalding County, with 57 percent of students eligible for Title I funds; the next highest was Troup County, with 54 percent eligible.
That high poverty rate makes Clarke County eligible for more grant money and increases spending in more than one area, including pupil services, Simms said. It's one of the things that increases spending in general administration, where almost 16 percent of expenses are tied up in federal title and grant administration.
Clarke County also spends more on maintenance and operations than the state average - $839 per student and 9.6 percent of the total district budget during the 2003-04 school year, compared to $565 per student and 7.8 percent of the state average. That spending category includes expenses for energy, water and sewer bills, custodial and maintenance salaries and repair and maintenance costs.
''I don't know how old our facilities are compared to other districts, which can affect that figure,'' Simms said.
Officials expect transportation expenses - $588 per student and 6.7 percent of the total district budget, compared to $324 per student and 4.5 percent of the state average - to begin falling with the implementation of a limited elementary school choice program that will reduce the distance most students are bused to elementary school.

Torre in a New York state of mind
Torre in a New York state of mind
It wasn't the early-morning doctor's appointment, a regularly scheduled checkup that cancer survivors know well. It definitely wasn't the pregame media swarm, with reporters looking for new answers to old questions about his leaving, and it sure wasn't plopping down behind the desk in the visiting manager's office at Shea Stadium, where, whether you're a Dodger or a Yankee, you're equally the enemy of the hometown Mets.
It wasn't even the return of cleanup hitter Jeff Kent to the Dodgers' starting lineup.
The best part of Thursday for Torre was being Dad, attending 12-year-old daughter Andrea's performance in her school's adaptation of "Peter Pan."
"Been on the go all day," said Torre, whose entourage consisted mostly of older brother Frank. "I attended the meeting of the board of directors of my foundation and went to see my daughter's show at school."
Torre insisted that the timing of the Dodgers' visit and the school play was merely a fortunate coincidence, as it will be when her performance in "High School Musical" falls during the All-Star break.
Torre said that he was "relieved" not to be named to the National League coaching staff for the last All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, where he upgraded a managerial resume that will probably send him to the Hall of Fame.
"I'd serve more as a distraction than anything else," he said.
Torre said that he still hadn't made it to his Westchester County home, spending Wednesday night at the team hotel after a late arrival following the 10-inning loss in Chicago.
But he looked both at home and at ease while sitting in the Dodgers' dugout three hours before the opener of a four-game series with the Mets. With eight video cameras zeroed in, bulbs flashing from still cameras and maybe four dozen mostly familiar faces lobbing questions, Torre's talk ranged from embattled Mets manager Willie Randolph to the New York bagels that he misses.
Torre said that leaving the Yankees had become the right thing to do and that he had no regrets about where he wound up.
"It was time to move, and I'm glad I made the decision, not for any other reason than I'm more comfortable where I am," he said. "Yeah, I was relieved when I did that, but that doesn't mean it was an easy decision. It's something I felt. Sometimes you have to do things that you feel are the right things to do, even though it's uncomfortable to do it."
Though known mostly for his 12 years at the helm of the Yankees, Torre's managerial career began with the Mets. He recalled taking over the team two days short of 31 years ago.
"I've been on both sides of this thing," he said. "This place, it's a high-tension wire all the time. What happened with the Yankees made the biggest impact in my career. But if the Mets hadn't given me the opportunity to manage with no Minor League managerial experience, I don't know that anyone else would have.
"It would be different if I came back to Yankee Stadium. There would probably be a little more emotion, because I think it would involve more of the fans than at Shea. But just coming back here to New York is certainly comfortable in a lot of ways."
He dismissed suggestions that he would have been a logical choice to replace Randolph.
"I've always been fascinated when certain people want you out, and then once you're out, they want you back in," he said.

The five Republicans running in District 11's House and Senate races naturally had a lot to agree on when meeting for a debate at Pima Community College last week.
As the Aug. 26 primary election approaches, job creation, border security, and education were noted as mutual concerns in need of attention.
But, as primary elections go, there was also the necessary discord that comes regardless of party alignment when there are more bodies than open seats.
The five candidates – Scott Bartle, Steve Smith, Mark Finchem, Jo Grant, and Vince Leach – will compete for three open spots between the House and Senate.
Bartle, a newcomer who describes himself as an entrepreneur, is hoping to claim the lone Senate seat currently occupied by Sen. Al Melvin, who opted to relinquish the spot for a run at governor – a race he since dropped out of after failing to receive enough contributions to qualify under the Clean Elections Commission.
Bartle will have to navigate his way past Smith, who in addition to directing his own talent agency, currently works as a legislator in the House of Representatives.
In the House race, Finchem, Grant and Leach will compete for two open seats. One of those currently belongs to Smith, while the other belongs to Adam Kwasman, who is running for Congress.
Finchem, who spent 21 years as a police officer in Michigan and currently works as an associate broker, will look to claim one of those seats alongside Vince Leach, a retired business executive who has worked for Republican campaigns in years past.
Jo Grant, who before retiring worked for 30 years as a staff person from the Arizona State Legislature, will look to break up the union of Leach and Finchem, who have teamed up with Smith as running mates.
It was in that regard that differences were seen in the candidates – Smith, Leach and Finchem tending to align on all issues, while Grant and Bartle differed on certain topics, namely Common Core Standards.
Common Core Standards
Like his running mates, Smith adamantly opposes Common Core. Smith has voted against the measure in the past, and said he will continue to vote against it in the future.
Calling it the "same road to mediocrity" as past education reform attempts, Smith said he doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all education system.
"Common Core is to education as Obamacare is to healthcare," said Smith.
Bartle took a middle ground on the issue, saying too much money has been invested in Common Core not to see it through, adding that he "supports raising the proverbial bar" in the nation's education platform.
Grant was the most outspoken in favor of the standards, arguing they establish concrete goals for students graduating high school without interfering with teaching methods.
"The state has give us the what… the teachers are the how," she said.
Comparatively, Leach was just as far in the opposite direction. He said if elected he would aim to repeal Common Core and instead examine what area school districts like Vail have done to achieve success.
Border Security
While agreeing that border security needs to be improved, Bartle and Smith continued attempts to gain leverage on the other. Naming border security as a top priority in his campaign, Smith called for increased fencing and law enforcement as well as quicker prosecution and deportation.
Bartle, who argued Smith has done little during his time in the Legislature to see such projects come to fruition, said cutting incentives such as benefits and drivers licenses to illegal immigrants is also key.
Smith, like Leach and Finchem, denied that, and promoted the fact he has been endorsed by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Finchem said the federal government has done little to resolve the problem and warned of another 9/11-style attack if nothing improves.
Job Creation
There was a general consensus that job creation is a top priority, but differing ideas on how best to achieve it. Leach said the most obvious option is to rid the state of the bureaucracy that has prevented companies from making an economic footprint in the region.
"We have the jobs that are shovel-ready," he said, citing Rosemont Copper Mine as one example, adding, "We need to get the roadblocks out of the way."
Grant said a strong educational foundation in K-12 and at the university level is critical in attracting employers, while Finchem added that improved roads, border security, and water security are also factors to consider when making Arizona a marketable workplace.
Smith said he has a proven track record when it comes to improving Arizona's economy, having passed legislation that helped move Arizona from 48th in job creation to fourth.
Election Process
In the Senate, the winner from the primary election will advance to face Democrat Jo Holt in the general election. Holt is running unopposed in the primary.
In the House, the top two Republican vote-getters will advance to the general election. There, they will face off against Democrat Holly Lyon, who is running unopposed in the primary.
The top two votes in the general election will claim the two open seats.

Conference Focuses On Horse Aftercare
This year's Albany Law School Institute on Racing and Gaming Law devoted a full day to matters of equine health, focusing primarily on Thoroughbred retirement and aftercare.
This year's Albany Law School Institute on Racing and Gaming Law devoted a full day to matters of equine health, focusing primarily on Thoroughbred retirement and aftercare.
A panel on transitioning Thoroughbred racehorses to second careers during the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit June 28 stressed the importance of protecting horses while they're on the track.
Barbara Luna discovered that even greater than her love of campaigning runners was the passion that came from helping retired racehorses have a second chance.
The Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horseman's Association unanimously approved the formation of Turning for Home, a Thoroughbred retirement program for trainers and owners at Philadelphia Park Casino & Racetrack.
ReRun has organized a fundraiser that will benefit horses and backstretch workers at Philadelphia Park. Donations collected during the month of March will be presented to Chaplain Jack Cordell to use for workers' transportation to health care facilities and doctors.
ReRun, the non-profit Thoroughbred adoption group, announced Dec. 4 that it has placed 30 Moneigh paintings by racehorses in its annual holiday auction on eBay. The auction will run between Dec. 3-10.
ReRun, the non-profit adoption organization, announced Oct. 25 that a select group of its signature "Moneigh" paintings created by past and present Breeder's Cup winners and contenders are available on eBay.
With plans to expand and open its doors to more needy Thoroughbred horses, ReRun, Inc. has named Barbara Luna executive director. Established in 1996 in Kentucky, the non-profit has anticipated the increase in unwanted horses and the need to rehabilitate, rather than retire, former racehorses as the main reasons for the reorganization.

Reign on the CW is getting good in all sorts of different ways, and tonight we have another new episode. On tonight's episode called, "Dirty Laundry," Mary's honeymoon ends and she returns to the castle. Meanwhile, Lola displays some odd behavior, which leads to a secret being exposed. If you missed the previous episode, don't worry because we recapped everything for you RIGHT HERE.
On the last episode Mary had to decide whether to marry Bash or Francis, who returned accompanied by Lola. Meanwhile, Mary's mother visits and pushed her own agenda, and her mere presence in the castle troubled both Henry and Catherine.
On tonight's episode Mary returns from her honeymoon and, suspicious of Lola's strange behavior, uncovers a deception that changes everything. Bash finds a bewildered Olivia and asks Nostradamus to assist her; and Henry seeks help from Catherine.
Don't forget to come back here tonight at 9 PM EST for your live recap of Reign season 1 episode 14 "Dirty Laundry." In the meantime, be sure to hit up the comments section below and let us know what you're most excited about for tonight's episode.
Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Mary and Francis are in a carriage riding across a snowy field. She tells him she wishes she could go back to two months ago when they were just getting married. They are back from their honeymoon and going back to court. She asks him to turn around and go back to the country house. He tells her things will be different now that they are married and his mother is no longer an obstacle and Nostradamus' prophecy is no longer a threat. They discuss making babies soon and kiss passionately as they ride.
The Archduke and his sister are in court. They are upset that one of their ships was fired on by the French Navy. The Queen promises to make peace and the sister makes eyes at King Henry while Kenna glares. He finds Kenna and tells her he has a new suitor for her – the Archduke of Bohemia. She asks what's wrong with him and he says nothing and that since he's a foreigner he doesn't know her reputation. Henry tells her the Archduke is pious and will expect her to be a virgin. She asks how she would manage that. He says he will make sure no one will tell him she's not pure.
Henry introduce Kenna to Ferdinand and leaves her with him. She fake some shyness and then Mary and Francis come bursting in. She hugs her ladies. She tells Greer and Lola he has suitors for them both. The Queen greets Mary warmly and drags Francis away for a talk. Mary heads off with her girls. Catherine tells him that Bash never made it to Spain. She says Bash murdered the guards and took off or they were raided. She tells him the king has people looking for Bash.
We see Bash running through the snowy woods with his crossbow. He's tackled by a woman who's out hunting and she calls him a fool. She stopped him short of falling in a boar trap and he thanks her. She calls out his stupidity and he retrieves his weapon. He treks along with her back to her village chatting along the way. She introduces her brother Kerrick to Bash. She tells Kerrick to be nice. He tells him Bash is the first guy she's brought home. They hear a noise and go to investigate. It's Olivia!
Mary hands out gowns she brought but Lola tells her the gown is snug. Greer asks if Mary is pregnant and she demurs so she's not. Mary offer Lola a marzipan and she takes it but then looks queasy. Kenna eyes her.
They ask Bash how he knows Olivia and they see she's been fed on by something. Bash says she needs help but Kerrick says she has to go. They tell Bash that she's been chosen by the darkness.
Ferdinand tells Kenna that he's being pressured to find a wife. She tells him she doesn't mind the idea of an older suitor and plays the innocent. He tries to kiss her and she flirts. Meanwhile his sister is riding the king like he's a prize stud. Kenna tells Ferdinand her body is god's vessel and she must be pure for her future husband. He tells her she and his sister are cut from the same cloth. Henry is riding her on the window sill when she falls out to her death! OMG screwed to death by the French king!
Bash comes to see Nostradamus carrying Olivia. He says he thought Bash was in Spain. He tells him she was wandering in the woods and the slashes she did to herself but the bites were done to her. Bash tells him that she was "chosen" and wonders if it's the pagan creature they worship. Nostradamus says he doesn't believe there is a thing in the woods and there's nothing evil there that doesn't come from man. He tells Bash to leave him in her care and go so he can stay safe.
Mary comes to see Catherine and she says she wants to help her make babies. Mary says she understands and Catherine gives her a potion to rub on her chest and one to rub on Francis' junk. She tells her to lie still after sex and take two pills afterward. Henry bursts in and demands to speak with Catherine alone. Mary bails.
Henry tells her that he happened to be "talking" to the Duchess when she fell out his window. Catherine is horrified and reminds him he could have started a war. The Archduke doesn't know yet and he wants her help because he doesn't trust her advisers. He tells her that she is France's best hope. She asks what's in it for her. Catherine wants Diane's chateau and he fusses but then caves in and says they have to keep it between the two of them.
Kenna come to see Lola about her affair with Francis. She tells her she knows she's pregnant by him. She tells her well done and that it's a good way to secure herself the position of royal mistress. Lola tells her it was one night and she doesn't want to be his mistress. Kenna tells her Mary won't take it well but will come around and Francis will love the child. Kenna tells her that she needs to make nice with Mary and keep Francis interested. She tells Kenna she can't do it. She want to get rid of the child and asks her for help. Kenna agrees to help and says she knows a servant that terminated a pregnancy.
Mary finds Bash in her quarters. She tells him he's supposed to be in Spain and he says he's supposed to be dead on Francis' orders. She insists it can't be true and that it's all behind them now. Bash tells her there was something between them and Francis hates him over it. He tells her all it would take is an angry moment to cause his death. She tells him there is no proof. He wants to know if his brother threatened him and she reminds him that Francis is her husband and he tells her to find out who she's married to. He tells her to put a light in her window if she wants to meet him.
Catherine and Henry scrub up blood and they are mystified because neither has no clue how to clean anything. She tells him to pick up the solid bits. They roll the Duchess up in a blanket and agree to take her to her chambers and toss her out that window.
Lola asks the servant about getting rid of the baby and she tells her it's dangerous and she might not survive. She tells her she needs to know for a friend and the servant says she knows it's for her. Lola offers her a handful of coins and the servant finally caves in.
Catherine and Henry drag the body down the hall and he drops his end. He tells Catherine she's heavier than she looks.
The priest comes to Nostradamus' chambers and hears Olivia crying out. He tries to wake her and she sees his cross and stabs him with it. He drops dead to the floor and she goes back to her catatonic state.
Francis comes in as Mary is brushing her hair. He asks why she was talking to his guards about Bash's departure. She asks if he told them to kill Bash and he asks who gave her that idea. She tells him Bash told him. Mary tells him that Bash came unannounced and she says she investigated to clear his name. He tells her he can give her the name of the ship and he says he can create evidence but she should take him at his word like he did when she said his mother was plotting against her. He tells her without trust this is nothing. Francis denies giving the order to kill Bash but says he is not safe from him if he comes near Mary again which he says he's sure he will. He leaves her and she puts the light in her window to signal Bash.
Catherine works on a suicide note as Henry unwraps the body. They discuss her reason for jumping and Catherine says they should say she was lonely. Henry says to write about unrequited love.
Kenna tells Ferdinand she's been wondering about a real kiss and he gives her a chaste peck. But then she lays a powerful smooch on him as he struggles.
Catherine finishes the note and Henry says she deserved a better and end and Catherine says – don't we all.
Ferdinand says she kisses like the French and she reminds him that they are in France. He says she would flourish in Bohemia when his sister's body falls to the floor. Kenna tells Mary she had terrible timing. They come to Lola's chambers but she's gone riding and Kenna says "oh no" and Mary asks if she knows where she is. She's at the abortionist and looking very nervous.
Mary rides off after Kenna and runs into Bash in thewoods. She tells him she needs his help to get through the blood wood. He agrees to help and they ride off.
Henry tells Catherine to let him do the talking. Nostradamus stops and tells them the priest was stabbed with a crucifix. Catherine shrugs it off and tells him not now. Ferdinand tells them he knows the note is a forgery because his sister couldn't write. He says it was foul play and says he'll ferret it out. Catherine tells him that he's right and that his sister has a lover. She says she walked in on them but wasn't going to gossip. She says she's not a judgmental person and Henry chimes in that she's not.
Catherine tells him that she had the man tortured. She says his sister was ashamed and threw herself from the window and the lover wrote the note to help give them peace of mind. Ferdinand mentions the note says "sexual prowess" and she says it was wishful thinking. They show him the priest's body and say that he was her lover and they didn't know he was a priest since he wasn't wearing his collar.
Ferdinand says he can't believe the scandal and asks them to not mention suicide or priest lovers and just say she drowned in the river. Henry tells him that he and Catherine would go to any lengths to protect him and she agrees. What scammers!
Lola is on the table and the procedure is about to begin when Mary bursts in calling her name. She asks if she's all right and tells the woman to leave them. Lola tells her she has to do it. Mary tells her it doesn't matter and she understands. She says it's not the end of the world and can help her and Lola says if she only knew. Then it hits Mary and she recalls that Lola arrived with Francis. She asks if the baby belongs to Francis and Lola tearfully admits it.
Mary walks with Bash in the snowy wood and tells him she doesn't know what will happen. She told him what's going on with Lola but then tells him that she believes Francis didn't want him killed. She tells him he must go and cannot care for her but he want to protect her from the royals. She tells him to hate her if he must and he says if he was capable of it, he would.
Henry tells Catherine he'd forgotten how great it was plotting with her. He asks her to stay with him and she stops him and tells him not to ruin it. She walks away.
Mary and Lola return to the castle and Lola says she's sorry. Mary asks if she's sorry that she slept with her husband or is pregnant. Lola says she was engaged to Bash and Mary says she knew she still loved Francis. Lola doesn't want her to tell Francis and says he doesn't know. She says if Francis finds out her life will be done and she will belong to Francis. She tells her that she doesn't want to be his mistress. Lola begs Mary to keep the secret.
Bash returns to the villager he met. He tells her he's leaving France and only came to say good-bye. She says that's not why he came and asks him to stay for supper and the night with her before he leaves. He looks at her hand tattoo of flowers and says she's beautiful. They kiss.
Henry practices swordplay as Kenna comes in and she tells him Ferdinand left without saying good-bye and he reminds her that his sister died. She asks why she couldn't have thrown herself off another castle wall. Henry distracts her with kisses and then perches her in the same window he had Ferdinand's sister and she says – don't let go – but you can tell he's thinking about it.
Nostradamus asks Olivia if she remembers what she did to the priest. She tells him "it's close" and says the darkness is coming and will take them all. He hears a wolf howl in the night.
Catherine looks out her window. Lola tries to keep her composure. Mary lies awake beside Francis worried.

POSTED BY Leon | August 11, 2014Label: City Breaks, Holidays to Orlando, New York City, Travel Tips
The USA is truly a year-round destination and after the busy summer months there is an unparalleled host of events to enjoy for those making the journey across the pond. Here is our pick of the best US cities to visit in autumn 2014.
Autumn means Halloween and there are few places that pull out all the stops as much as Orlando. Florida's famous theme park attractions host an array of ghoulish goings on during October in the lead up to the big night.
Walt Disney World is hosting Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party – a combination of trick or treating and light-hearted Halloween parades that's ideal for kids. As the name suggests, it's more family friendly than some Halloween events and runs from 1st September through to the big night. Legoland Florida's contribution is Brick or Treat – an event that sees scary Lego figures hidden around the park as part of a scavenger hunt.
Adults may find Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights more up their street. It features terrifying haunted houses based on real life horror films. This year's events include Dracula Untold and Alien v Predator themed houses.
New York
There's never a shortage of activities in The Big Apple, whenever you visit. The weather is arguably at its best during autumn in New York without the heat and humidity of the summer or the freezing temperatures of the winter, and an added bonus of smaller crowds. The Columbus Day Parade on the national holiday at the beginning of October is an entertaining lower-key alternative to the big Thanksgiving and Christmas parades but still features over 35,000 participants every year.
There are also plenty of Halloween attractions to enjoy. October 31st sees the Village Halloween parade wind through the East Village. Unlike other New York parades, the public can join in the procession in their own costumes and be a part of the spectacle. Blood Manor is another must visit attraction at the end of October. Blood Manor is renowned as the best haunted house in New York City and includes almost 5,000 square feet of labyrinth hallways, themed rooms and "actors" in spooky, fake blood-covered costumes.
Open House New York is another great reason to visit New York at this time of year. This annual event sees over 150 of the city's coolest and most exclusive architectural sites, private homes and landmarks opened to the public, plus other exclusive behind-the-scenes tours and programmes.
If you're looking to prolong the British summer a little longer, how about Miami? Found on Florida's sun kissed east coast, Miami's weather stays sunny and warm during the autumn months, with temperatures around the mid twenties.
When they're not sunning themselves on the beach, visitors to Miami can enjoy the popular Grovetoberfest which arrives in Miami in October and features over two hundred beers from around the world, not to mention a kitchen lab with plenty of beer-infused dishes to try. Guests can kick back in picturesque Peacock Park, which makes it the "most scenic beer festival in the world".

Responding to California's school budget problem problem, Pearson promised to create digital supplements for "biology, chemistry, algebra 2, and geometry textbooks."
Publishers Weekly reports the major textbook company responded to an appeal from California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Last week the governor said he hopes to switch students to digital math and science textbooks to help ease the budget deficit and the $350 million the state spent on school books last year.
Peter Cohen, CEO of Pearson's North America school curriculum, had this comment: "We believe it is important to take these forward steps toward an online delivery system and we are supporting the Governor's initiative, recognizing there are numerous challenges ahead for the education community to work through."

" Network: Fox / Genre: Comedy / Actors: Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson "
New sitcom 'New Girl' sees Zooey Deschanel as a geeky quirky girl Jess who moves in with three guys after a tragic break up. She's a sweet girl and her character is extremely strong- I love it when she just breaks into song about her life.
Her roomies- Schmidt (Max Greenfield, famed for being the douchebag), is a douchebag; Coach (Damon Wayans Jnr), a gym trainer who can't talk to women; and Nick (Jake M Johnson), who just got out of a long relationship.
Of all the roomates, I like Nick the most from the pilot given his humanity and he just seems most real, down to earth, relatable... Schmidt takes douche to the ultimate level.
In the pilot, the guys try to rescue Jess by setting her up with a rebound whilst Schmidt is desperate to go to a party Nick's ex could get him into. The ending is bittersweet and there is a great bonding between the characters. There is something really quite intriguing about the relationship between the four which plays out through episode two and three, building on Jess' character and her emotions.
The thing I look forward to each ep is the crazy antics that Jess pulls- her quirky and spontaneous song outbreaks as well as just her outrageousness really brings the show to life.
The plot for each episode isn't too solid but the characters and the human-ness of the characters is relatable. Overall, the first few episodes of 'New Girl' isn't groundbreaking; I'd still rather watch Friends on repeat, but the character of Jess as well as Zooey Deschanel is sure to make me stick it out for a few more eps at the very least.
Having watched it for well over 2 months now, the show, whilst has its sweet points, lacks a coherant plot line and each episode becomes a bit of a standalone plot, whilst good so people don't miss out on what happens, also can make the show suffer as people lose interest and there's nothing for them to hold onto.

Counter temporarily out of order due to NetScrape Server stupidity.
In addition to the sections below, you may wish to consult Section 10 to see what people have written about their experiences with DXM and other drugs.
Some users report that a small amount of alcohol (a beer or two) before the DXM can both enhance the trip and prevent some nausea. Alcohol following the DXM trip seems to be reduced in some, but not all, of its effects. Note that large doses of alcohol combined with DXM often cause prolonged (up to 2 hours!) vomiting. Alcohol after the end of a high dosage DXM trip has been reported to temporarily bring back many of the dissociative effects (cannabis and nitrous oxide also do this). This seems possible up to five days after the DXM trip, depending on your metabolism and brain chemistry.
I have no data on this combination. I strongly suggest you avoid this; both barbiturates and benzodiazepines tend to be dangerous enough by themselves.
Some people enjoy this combination, others find it unpleasantly speedy. Most who've tried it reported that DXM will potentiate other stimulants. Since DXM inhibits dopamine reuptake, combining it with a dopamine releasing agent (amphetamine or methamphetamine) will naturally produce a combined, synergistic effect. Consequently, you should be careful to avoid a hypertensive crisis.
Combining DXM, a psychostimulant, and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor is a sure way to make your blood pressure skyrocket and will probably kill you (if you're lucky) or leave you with severe brain damage (if you aren't lucky).
DXM plus cannabis is a frequent combination, which most people seem to enjoy, at least at lower doses of DXM. High doses of DXM (third plateau and up) mixed with cannabis can be very, very dissociative and sometimes unpleasant.
One user reported that 360mg DXM followed 3.5h later by "a bowl or two" produced a very profound, and unique, intoxication. Severe flanging of all sensory input was present, and there was an overall "vibration" feeling present in the muscles. With eyes closed, he could think fairly clearly, and solve simple and complex tasks much easier than on DXM or cannabis alone; however, with eyes open (or other sensory distraction) cognitive abilities deteriorated rapidly. Motor skills were possible only when performed automatically; any attempt to focus on them led to difficulties.
Several users have reported that cannabis and DXM generally "go well" together. Note that cannabis after the DXM trip is over seems to bring back some of the dissociative effects, much like alcohol and nitrous oxide.
I have limited data on this combination. One person simply said that DXM and LSD was "not recommended". Another person disagreed, and said that DXM helped him avoid unpleasant cognitive effects and "bad trips" he might otherwise get from LSD alone. LSD may help you remember the experiences of higher plateau DXM trips.
One person wrote the following of his DXM + LSD experience:
Anyways that day I had been up about 18 hours when I took the lsd. After doing some fingerpainting and noticing how the visuals were pretty good for only 1 hit and just having recently tripped I decided to give the dxm another whirl. So I took 300mg.
At first I felt slightly out of it a bit drunk. As I sat in the chair however I began to feel like I was sinking deep within myself. It became very hard to focus on anything so I closed my eyes. Whew-wee what a mistake. The visuals were *intense* blinding lights, zooming, it was unlike anything I had ever seen. I opened my eyes and when they couldnt focus I began to feel horribly sick. So I went and threw up it lasted about 30 seconds and after I threw up (instantly) I began to feel incredibly fucked up. I was very depersonalized. I felt like I was nothing more than a dot inside my head. Focus on anything was next to impossible and my eyes began to shift a lot. The vertigo was immense if I looked at any repeating pattern. Enigma was playing on the stereo and it sounded so full and deep it was hard to listen to. I layed down and closed my eyes and began another rushing trip. This one was much more intenst than the first so intense that my brain began to feel very overloaded. I suddeny had to throw up again becase of the *music*; it was just too much to handle. At this point I felt incredibly horrible. My head felt like it was pulsating, as did my whole body. It was as though I was showering the room with excess energy. The music was turned off and I gained some composure. This time after thorwing up (just water) I felt wonderful. I relaxed and layed down again and then it began. The most wonderous experience of my life. There just are no words to describe the nenxt 4 or 5 hours. I would close my eyes and the visuals were so lifelike. It was like a waking dream where I had full control. Soemtimes it was hard to tell if my eyes were close or open. When they were open I was having mass hallucinations. Walls with paintings that werent there etc... It was just incredible...to sum up the pros and cons.
Dont do lsd+dxm if your not VERY stable. The possibility of a bad trip is easily much higher than the possibilty of a good one. Dont do dxm+lsd if you've ever had a bad trip due to repressed memories. Dont do dxm+lsd if your afraid of seeing wierd shit when you puke (if you puke on dxm) this I see as being extremely tramatic for a number of people. Dont do dxm+lsd if your worried about it. You will at time prolly feel like you are dying/or dead (the upside is you feel so content you dont really care).
Do dxm+lsd if you can take it and want the trip of your life. Quite simply I have never seen anything else that even came close to comparing.
Will I do it again? I doubt it. I achieved what I was looking for in the whole trip thing; complete and total fooling of my mind.
One person says that small amounts of opiates tend to "mellow out" the DXM trip, and reduce the possibility for panic attacks or anxiety. Another user said opiates should only be taken after the peak of the DXM trip, because otherwise they would cancel each other out to some degree.
On the other hand, this may be a dangerous combination, and I'd recommend against it. Both DXM and opiates can depress respiration and high enough doses, and there might be a synergistic effect.
The only report I have indicated that ketamine plus DXM was not much different from ketamine. I expect that most of DXM's particular effects on sigma receptors are overshadowed by ketamine's NMDA antagonism. Ketamine is a much more potent NMDA antagonist than DXM, and since they both compete for the same site, DXM isn't going to affect this much.
This is a combination I hadn't considered before, but which evidently is fairly interesting. Nicotine seems to vastly potentiate DXM's effects for some people, enough so that one user reported that one cigarette could floor him on a second plateau trip. Another user reported that nicotine helped him overcome some of the memory problems with higher doses of DXM, but tended to induce nausea.
A few regular users of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), around 800mg per day, have reported that the regular use of DMAE prevents a lot of the memory and cognitive problems associated with DXM use, while still leaving the rest of its interesting effects.
A similar effect has been reported for piracetam. See also information on use of nootropics to limit hangover in Section 4.5.
Several people have reported to me that nitrous oxide goes well with DXM, especially towards the end of the trip. This seems to be consistent with nitrous oxide's effects in combination with other hallucinogens. Specifically, nitrous oxide seems to intensely multiply the flanging, "stoning", and dissociative effects without added adverse side effects.
It might be a good idea to avoid tetrodotoxin, given DXM's sodium channel blocking ability. (This is a joke! No, don't go out and try zombie potion).

Baroness Oppenheim-Barnes asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Oppenheim-Barnes: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that helpful Answer. Does he not agree that, to put the matter very kindly indeed, these edifices are at the very least hideous, impractical and expensive? Does he not further agree that, if they are supposed to be some representation of Cool Britannia, it is time to turn up the heat under the person whose idea it was?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, the visitors did not find it objectionable at all. A survey was conducted and the reaction of 87 per cent. of the visitors was that it was rather a good exhibition and certainly promoted British products.
Lord Strabolgi: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that recently it was agreed that the cars of all officials would be removed from Horse Guards Parade in order to preserve the beautiful vista over the Inigo Jones building? If we are to have these great balloons every few months, is that not going to be spoilt?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, we are not to have these balloons every few months. As my noble friend said, prior to the exhibition Horse Guards Parade was used as a car park. This Government believe that it is time to use it in a more inclusive manner. Certainly, car parks exclude, but exhibitions invite people to come.
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, does the noble Lord recall that I tabled a Question five weeks ago when the drums were being inflated on Horse Guards Parade? The noble Lord himself suggested that I move that Question because the Prime Minister was about to make a statement on the subject that or the following day.
Lord Haskel: My Lords, the noble Lord was kind enough to write to me about this and I responded by saying that there was a paragraph in the Prime Minister's speech about this matter, but for some reason he did not say it. I have never been able to discover why. However, officials are burrowing away and as soon as I have any further information I shall write to the noble Lord.
Baroness Miller of Hendon: My Lords, as regards the first Answer which the Minister gave to my noble friend Lady Oppenheim-Barnes, can he say, first, how many people attended this Cool Britannia exhibition so that we can work out the cost and, secondly, can he enlighten us about the cost of the survey that was carried out among those who attended and who said that they liked it?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, there were about 23,000 paying visitors and about 2,000 non-paying visitors. I must emphasise that the purpose was to provide an exhibition of British ingenuity and products for the ASEM conference in London. In addition, the CBI, the Design Council and one or two other organisations used it as a venue for hosting various exhibitions and meetings of their own.
Baroness Miller of Hendon: My Lords, what was the cost of the survey?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, I do not have the detail of that, but I shall write to the noble Baroness.
Lord Jenkins of Putney: My Lords, does my noble friend agree that there must be something that can be said for an exhibition which acquired that amount of attention?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, I quite agree. It was a very successful exhibition and showed off British ingenuity and industry very well indeed.
Baroness Carnegy of Lour: My Lords, does the Minister agree that the Government's noble aspirations in the purposes of the exhibition could have been housed in a more dignified way? Will the Minister be interested to know that a Scot who recently came to London asked me, "What are those bouncy castles they have put up where they usually Troop the Colour?"
Lord Haskel: My Lords, part of the purpose of the exhibition was in fact to show off the buildings, which are easily erected and taken down. The department is in an advanced state of negotiation with a number of organisations which wish to use the buildings for exhibitions and meetings of their own.
Lord Dormand of Easington asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Dormand of Easington: My Lords, I appreciate that Answer, but does my noble friend accept that many of the payments made recently to chairmen and directors have reached a degree of obscenity never seen before, particularly when some of the companies concerned have been losing money? Does he further accept that if a Labour Government stand for anything at all, they stand for fairness but that that will be eroded if the present situation continues? Lastly, have the Government considered what might happen if and when the trade unions and others quite understandably take the view that some of those payments are suitable for some people but not for the rest of us?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, the Government are certainly concerned about this. Obscene pay awards not only bring the whole system into disrepute but they also fail to have regard to the wider issues of morale and effectiveness in business. That is why the Government support the Greenbury and Hampel recommendation that reports of remuneration committees be voted on each year by shareholders. The Government consider that to be part of best practice. If there is no evidence that companies are adopting best practice, the Government have not ruled out legislative action. The Government's views on fairness will be published shortly in our paper on fairness at work.
Lord Avebury: My Lords, ought not the workers, as well as the shareholders, have some say about the remuneration of the bosses? Could not the vote be widened to include them?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, in many companies consultation involves everybody. I am sure that there is an element of worker participation in the good practice favoured by the Government.
Lord Marsh: My Lords, is not the best way of controlling such matters for the institutional shareholders in particular, when they conclude that a company is not providing the returns which they expect for their investment, to withdraw their support from that company, not for the Government to try to monitor all the wages and incomes in this country?
Lord Haskel: My Lords, I am sure that the noble Lord is right in theory but, unfortunately, many institutional shareholders do not vote at annual general meetings so the companies do not know their views. On the point about institutional shareholders withdrawing their support by selling their shares, many institutional shareholders take the view that they should be changing the management of the company rather than selling their investment in the business.
Lord Razzall: My Lords, does the Minister agree that one of the fundamental problems is that there is a significant dichotomy between the answer that the Minister has just given and, indeed, the answers which the President of the Board of Trade gave when asked about these issues in other places and the position which the Labour Party took in its manifesto? There is clearly a distinction between whether--dare I say it--the more liberal approach of Greenbury and Hampel should be followed by the Government, as the Minister appears to be suggesting, or whether a far more interventionist approach, as heralded in the Labour Party's manifesto, should be taken. Confusion is arising because the Government cannot make up their minds which of the two approaches to take.
Lord Haskel: My Lords, the Government are waiting to see whether companies adopt the approach that I have just stated. If they do not adopt that approach, the Government will take a more interventionist approach, as laid down in the paper on competitiveness and company law which was recently published by my right honourable friend the President of the Board of Trade.

LOL, I would have been mad too, especially since she fought everyone all steps of the way and bitched all the time she was making the bacon. I'm glad they all got over themselves because despite not being able to pull it together at first they ended up with a splendid dish. I think in group challeges you NEED to have strong personalities on the teams even though there might be friction because then people aren't afraid to veto things they feel aren't working and forces people to think together rather than just going along for the ride.
After watching it again, Dale didn't blow up at Lisa over her winning the challenge. He blew up at her because she had been cursing, slamming things about, etc all day but everyone recognized her need to vent and didn't disturb her about it, even though she went off about someone else's plugs being in their section. But when Antonia and Spike were getting into it over Zoi and Dale got involved because he felt like Spike was in the wrong (and was telling him so) she had the audacity to tell him to shut up and stay out of it.
I'm thinking the booze, long wait and people being upset and Zoi leaving that contributed to everyone at each other's throats, especially since next week Dale is talking to Lisa more calmly about her attitude being a killjoy and they both seemed to be pretty mellow.

Households with more than five adult dogs or cats could soon be in violation of an Athens-Clarke County ordinance, if county commissioners adopt a proposal to limit the number of household pets.
The proposed ordinance, which will go before the commission tonight for discussion, would prohibit residential homes from housing more than five dogs, five cats or a combination of five dogs and cats. Commissioners could have a final vote on the issue at their Nov. 6 meeting.
A-C Commission
WHAT: Athens-Clarke County Commission agenda-setting session
WHEN: 7 p.m. today
WHERE: Commission Chamber, City Hall, 301 College Ave.
PARKING: On-street parking and College Avenue parking deck nearby
FOR MORE INFO: Call (706) 613-3031
ON THE NET: www.athensclarkecounty.com
Here's a look at some of the issues scheduled for discussion at tonight's Athens-Clarke County Commission meeting. Commissioners are scheduled to vote on these items at a Nov. 6 meeting.
A proposal to rezone 404 parcels between Baxter Street, Broad Street, Milledge Avenue and Alps Road. The properties are currently zoned for higher-density multi-family use; under the proposal, some of the properties would be rezoned for single-family use.
A proposal to limit the number of household pets in residential areas to five dogs or five cats over the age of four months.
A proposed amendment to zoning standards for off-street parking in residential zones.
A request to approve prototypical details for $1.1 million in bus stop improvements, funded by special-purpose, local-option sales tax revenue.
A request by Commissioner Carl Jordan to reconsider light pollution abatement standards adopted by the commission in September.
Reconstruction/relocation plans for Fire Stations No. 3 and No. 4, and conceptual design for Fire Station No. 8 on Jefferson Road.
A proposed schematic design for the Athens multimodal transportation center and bio-retention pond.
Reviewing the proposal earlier this month, county planning commissioners said they were reluctant to address animal nuisances through a zoning ordinance. Planning Commissioner Lucy Rowland expressed concern the ordinance could unfairly punish breeders whose hobby doesn't pose a problem to their neighborhoods.
The group voted unanimously to reject such regulations, and asked that county staff instead try to address animal problems through the county's nuisance ordinance.
Athens-Clarke County Senior Planner Bruce Lonnee said the ordinance is targeted to address a few extreme situations -- including one or two instances where as many as 30 homeless dogs were being fostered in a residential home.
''I don't think anybody would anticipate a crackdown on someone who happens to have six dogs, just because they're suddenly in violation of an ordinance,'' Lonnee said.
Also Tuesday, commissioners are scheduled to discuss another neighborhood zoning ordinance amendment regulating off-street parking in residential neighborhoods. The amendment would require driveways to be constructed of asphalt, concrete or edged gravel, and parking would not be allowed on side yards that are adjacent to the public right-of-way.
Lonnee said the parking amendments are designed to give clearer guidelines about what constitutes an approved parking area to prevent people from parking on the front lawn. Front-yard parking is already prohibited by the existing zoning ordinance.

Revenge solves everything, and it will make you smile.
"Dishonored" is a mind-blowing romp filled with political intrigue, plot twists and a plethora of stabbing.
As the famed Royal Protector, Corvo Attano was tasked with defending Dunwall Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. However, as part of a coup, the empress is slain, her daughter Emily taken and Corvo framed. After rotting in prison for months, the bodyguard-turned-assassin escapes and joins the resistance. There, the mystical Outsider imbues Corvo with magical powers that amplify his stealth and fighting skills.
Corvo learns to teleport, slow time, call a swarm of rats, send a wind blast and more.
|» Systems: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
|» Price: $59.99
|» Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Now bent on revenge, Corvo must take down the corrupt politicians who planned the coup and rescue Emily.
A first-person action adventure, "Dishonored" is mostly story-driven, with each of the missions solving pieces of the puzzle. The innovative gameplay and sandbox-style levels allow you to approach targets from multiple angles and exact your revenge in many different ways. Feeling stealthy? Sneak up and shove your blade through the person's back. Wrathful? Go in guns and magic blazing and lay waste to everyone. Or you can go the nonlethal route and not kill anyone at all -- there's an Achievement for that.
Along with the stellar gameplay, "Dishonored" has the looks and sounds to back it up. The plague-ridden city of Dunwall, modeled after Victorian London, has a bombed-out, ominous feel, and the distinct character designs give the steampunk stylings a solid footing. The moody sound track and sound effects are only surpassed by the talented vocal cast, which includes Susan Sarandon and Carrie Fisher.
"Dishonored" may be under 15 hours in length, but the game offers plenty of challenge and begs to be replayed -- alternate endings and multiple ways to dispatch complete each mission. If only the game let you take your souped-up Corvo into the earlier missions after beating the game.
But however you decide to play it, this creation by Arkane Studios lives up to the hype, and it's a beacon for innovative design in the gaming industry.

Generally: The Principle of Fundamental Fairness
Generally: The Principle of Fundamental Fairness
The Court in recent years has held that practically all the criminal procedural guarantees of the Bill of Rights—the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments—are fundamental to state criminal justice systems and that the absence of one or the other particular guarantees denies a suspect or a defendant due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment.974 Further, the Court has held that the due process clause protects against practices and policies which violate precepts of fundamental fairness,975 even if they do not violate specific guarantees of the Bill of Rights.976 The standard query in such cases is whether the challenged practice or policy violates "a fundamental principle of liberty and justice which inheres in the very idea of a free government and is the inalienable right of a citizen of such government."977
974 See analysis under the Bill of Rights, "Fourteenth Amendment," supra.
975 For instance, In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358 (1970), held that, despite the absence of a specific constitutional provision requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal cases, such proof is a due process requirement. For other recurrences to general due process reasoning, as distinct from reliance on more specific Bill of Rights provisions, see, e.g., Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284 (1973) (defendant may not be denied opportunity to explore confession of third party to crime for which defendant is charged); Wardius v. Oregon, 412 U.S. 470 (1973) (defendant may not be held to rule requiring disclosure to prosecution of an alibi defense unless defendant is given reciprocal discovery rights against the state).; Mullaney v. Wilbur, 421 U.S. 684 (1975) (defendant may not be required to carry the burden of disproving an element of a crime for which he is charged).; Estelle v. Williams, 425 U.S. 501 (1976) (a State cannot compel an accused to stand trial before a jury while dressed in identifiable prison clothes); Henderson v. Kibbe, 431 U.S. 145 (1977) (sufficiency of jury instructions); Patterson v. New York, 432 U.S. 197 (1977) (defendant may be required to bear burden of affirmative defense); Taylor v. Kentucky, 436 U.S. 478 (1978) (requiring, upon defense request, jury instruction on presumption of innocence); Kentucky v. Whorton, 441 U.S. 786 (1979) (fairness of failure to give jury instruction on presumption of innocence evaluated under totality of circumstances) ; Sandstrom v. Montana, 442 U.S. 510 (1979) (conclusive presumptions in jury instruction may not be used to shift burden of proof of an element of crime to defendant); Hicks v. Oklahoma, 447 U.S. 343 (1980) (where sentencing enhancement scheme for habitual offenders found unconstitutional, defendant's sentence cannot be sustained, even if sentence falls within range of unenhanced sentences).
976 Justice Black thought the Fourteenth Amendment should be limited to the specific guarantees found in the Bill of Rights. See, e.g., In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358, 377 (1970) (dissenting). For Justice Harlan's response, see id. at 372 n.5 (concurring).
977 Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78, 106 (1908). The question is phrased as whether a claimed right is "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty," whether it partakes "of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty," Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319, 325 (1937), or whether it "offend[s] those canons of decency and fairness which express the notions of justice of English-speaking peoples even toward those charged with the most heinous offenses," Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165, 169 (1952).
This inquiry contains a historical component, as "recent cases . . . have proceeded upon the valid assumption that state criminal processes are not imaginary and theoretical schemes but actual systems bearing virtually every characteristic of the common-law system that has been developing contemporaneously in England and in this country. The question thus is whether given this kind of system a particular procedure is fundamental—whether, that is, a procedure is necessary to an Anglo-American regime of ordered liberty… [Therefore, the limitations imposed by the Court on the States are] not necessarily fundamental to fairness in every criminal system that might be imagined but [are] fundamental in the context of the criminal processes maintained by the American States."978
978 Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U.S. 145, 149 n.14 (1968).

A sports centre in Warsop has been closed with 'immediate effect' because of fire safety issues.
Mansfield District Council have released a statement to say Meden Sports Centre has been closed so urgent work can be carried out on the Burns Lane site.
A spokesman said: "The district and county councils have jointly decided that the centre should close with immediate effect to assess what works are required.
"The county council is looking at alternative options to make sure sporting activities usually held at the centre for Meden School pupils can continue in the meantime and the district council is working with Mansfield District Leisure Trust to minimise any impact on community use.

It's summer break for most Bay Area students, but for some at Palo Alto High School, the first day back on campus may not be a pleasant one.
Palo Alto High administrators said Thursday that some tenth- and eleventh-grade students had cheated on an Algebra 2 final during the last days of school. Tabitha Kappeler-Hurley, a spokesperson for Palo Alto Unified School District, said students admitted that someone had taken a picture of the test and passed it around.
She added two teachers realized something wasn't right when students finished the two-hour test in half an hour and submitted the correct answers without showing any work.
"We decided we would not count any of the finals so that would put everybody back to the grade that they had prior to taking the final last week," Kappeler-Hurley said.
Recent graduates told NBC Bay Area that cheating is pervasive on campus and seems to be growing more frequent as competition for getting into college gets more cutthroat.
"Copying homework is like on a daily basis for some people," Jafar Alkenany said. "They have little study groups. You go to the library after school, everybody swaps homework."
This isn't the first time students have been caught trying to best the system at Palo Alto High School this year.
Kappeler-Hurley said earlier in the year a senior was caught hacking into the computer system to change her grades. Both Alkenany and fellow recent graduate, Michael Choi, also pointed to another recent cheating scandal on AP Psychology tests.
"The teachers have been saying it's been going on throughout the whole year but it's most prominent in second semester," Choi said.
Alkenany had some advice for incoming freshmen: relax.
"Where you go to college and the grades you get is not going to define who you are," he said. "Being a good person and finding what you want to do is going to help you a lot more."
The 112 students who took the Algebra 2 final have the option of retaking it June 10 or August 13. Kappeler-Hurley said the investigation into the students who cheated will continue and disciplinary action is still on the table.

'Islamic Militancy in West Africa: Ideological Struggles in the Sahel'
Public Lecture by Bakary Sambe
Since the 1970s, Saudi Arabia has developed a real strategy of conquest with an increase in the number of specially financed bodies which aim to coordinate preaching. These structures take the form of 'representative' international organisations in order to take on the respectability and the privileged status of NGOs on the increasingly privatised international scene. In this way, movements of different kinds have proliferated to impose Wahhabi ideology on the competing traditional and Sufi Islamic brotherhoods characteristic of much of the Sahel region. At the same time, Iran has increasingly teamed up with local Islamic organisations and actors, notably the Sufi brotherhoods, even though the region is predominantly Sunni. The emergence of a new local Shiite community, as well as the offensive of Salafist movements increasingly structured around combatting Sufism, are changing the map of Islam in West Africa. Since the occupation of North Mali by groups called 'Jihadists', the Sahel region has assumed geostrategic importance for Western powers, notably France. Between the resurgence of competing new forms of religion, the strategic aims of Western powers and security preoccupations of West African states, a real ideological struggle driven by conflicting interests is being played out in this long neglected area of the Muslim world.
Dr Bakary Sambe is an Assistant Professor at Gaston Berger University in Senegal. His specialist subjects are the transnational networks of militant Islamism and Arab-African relations. Dr Sambe holds an MA in Arabic and Islamic Studies from Lumiere University, Lyon, France, and a PhD in Political Science from the Institute of Political Studies, IEP de Lyon. He was formerly a Research Fellow at ISMC during the 2009 Academic Year.
