A school for the gifted: Menlo Park Academy. Like a rose in an unkempt garden, Menlo Park Academy stands out among Ohio’s hodgepodge of charter schools. First and foremost, Menlo excels academically—it was one of 30 charters in Ohio that earned an “Excellent” (A) or above state academic rating in 2011-12. (This, out of 302 rated charter schools.) Second, Menlo, which enrolls 300 or so students, is a regional school, drawing K-8 students from 40 school districts in and beyond the Cleveland metro area. And, Menlo is Ohio’s only charter school dedicated to educating gifted students.

Menlo’s uniqueness, together with Fordham’s long-standing interest in gifted and talented students, quickly attracted our attention. Ohio law permits gifted-focused charter schools such as Menlo. We thank Ellen Belcher for her outstanding reporting and writing. Terry Ryan and Aaron Churchill Menlo Park Academy in Cleveland was born in a moment of we’ll-show-you exasperation.

Admin - Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy. 'The Motherhood' Fiat Rap Commercial Explains How Parents Roll. There’s a new member in the parent rap crew -- and we’re not talking about Kanye. "The Motherhood" is performed by a British mom (the accent absolutely makes this one), and “features” the Fiat 500Ls. So, yes, it’s a car commercial, but as Copyranter points out, this spot is heavy on mom jokes and light on car-selling. Elena Bernardelli, Fiat UK's marketing director told Digital Spy that the company wanted to reach "dynamic mothers ... balancing motherhood with their desire to keep hold of their pre-children identity. " Naturally, that vision led to inspired rhymes such as "Work versus home is a mental complication.

I got my elbows deep in infant defecation. " But there’s much more where that came from.

Republicans have continually decried the Obama Administration’s “runaway spending” since he took office, blaming him for growing deficits and a mounting national debt.

But a quick glance at the facts show that, compared to George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, Obama is actually embracing fiscal conservatism more than any other president in recent history, with the exception of fellow Democrat Bill Clinton. The Atlantic crunches the numbers: For all the talk you hear about Obama’s historic spree, government spending actually hasn’t increased so dramatically under this president. The stimulus was big, but it’s over. It’s been replaced by, if not austerity (which has struck our states and cities) then a hard correction to the center. Evidence of the cost-cutting measures employed by Obama can be found in the last several jobs reports. That’s likely a hard pill to swallow for Obama’s critics, who have spent years hammering his administration for record spending and fiscal irresponsibility. George H. W. Bush vomiting incident. The George H.W. Bush vomiting incident occurred on January 8, 1992 around 8:20 p.m.

JST when U.S. President George H.W. Bush fainted after vomiting at a banquet hosted by the then Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichi Miyazawa.[1] History[edit] On January 8, 1992, Bush was attending a state event for 135 diplomats held at the home of the Japanese Prime Minister, near the end of the President's 12-day trade-oriented trip through Asia. Bush later made comments to the press that he had a 24 hour flu bug. Effects of the incident[edit] The incident was widely reported,[1] and quickly became fodder for the nation's comedians. In Japan, even several years later, Bush was best remembered for this event.[2] According to the Encyclopedia of political communication, "The incident caused a wave of late night television jokes and ridicule in the international community, even coining Bushu-suru which literally means 'to do the Bush thing' See also[edit] References[edit]

The Undisclosed Mitt Romney. Early in the general election campaign, Mitt Romney made it clear that he was not going to disclose the details of his plans before voters cast their ballots. “One of the things I found in a short campaign against Ted Kennedy was that when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education, that was used to suggest I don’t care about education,” Mitt Romney told the Weekly Standard in an interview published April 2: So I think it’s important for me to point out that I anticipate that there will be departments and agencies that will either be eliminated or combined with other agencies. So for instance, I anticipate that housing vouchers will be turned over to the states rather than be administered at the federal level, and so at this point I think of the programs to be eliminated or to be returned to the states, and we’ll see what consolidation opportunities exist as a result of those program eliminations.

So will there be some that get eliminated or combined? Presidential debate 101: Did Obama make 'apology tour' in Middle East? Has President Obama ever gone on an apology tour in the Middle East during which he criticized America while speaking publicly in various nations? Skip to next paragraph Subscribe Today to the Monitor Click Here for your FREE 30 DAYS ofThe Christian Science MonitorWeekly Digital Edition Mitt Romney has long said Mr. Obama did just that. First, let’s look at Romney’s full reference and Obama’s response. When answering a question from moderator Bob Schieffer about the possibility of talks with Iran over its nuclear program, Romney shifted to a general attack on Obama’s Middle East positions.

Near the beginning of his administration, “the president began what I’ve called an apology tour of going to various nations in the Middle East and criticizing America,” Romney said. Obama, who was combative throughout the debate, didn’t just absorb this hit. “This has been probably the biggest whopper that’s been told during the course of this campaign,” Obama said. But Romney did not back down. Ms. Grid Paper PDFs. Free Online Graph Paper / Grid Paper PDFs Downloadable and very printable, I find these PDFs extremely useful. Tip number one!

Found this helpful 0 This solution involves an attempt to remove old/unused USB device drivers that may be inadverdently causing conflicts with devices currently plugged in. It's basically an extreme version of the 'uninstall usb hubs in device manager' method. Download the following programs: Run USBDeview and go into the Options menu and check the first three "Display" options. Next, shift click everything on the list, and uninstall via the File menu. Vista/Win 7 should autodetect and reinstall any drivers for USB devices plugged in automatically.

If that doesn't work, try DevManView and sort by the "Connected" column - ignore anything that says Yes in that column. I am having a similar issue: after plugging my wife's iPod Nano 3Gen into the front USB ports of the PC (as we've done hundreds of times before), the system suddenly stopped recognizing all USB devices.

The Scarlet Letter: Plot Overview. The Scarlet Letter opens with a long preamble about how the book came to be written. The nameless narrator was the surveyor of the customhouse in Salem, Massachusetts. In the customhouse’s attic, he discovered a number of documents, among them a manuscript that was bundled with a scarlet, gold-embroidered patch of cloth in the shape of an “A.” The manuscript, the work of a past surveyor, detailed events that occurred some two hundred years before the narrator’s time. When the narrator lost his customs post, he decided to write a fictional account of the events recorded in the manuscript. The Scarlet Letter is the final product. The story begins in seventeenth-century Boston, then a Puritan settlement. The elderly onlooker is Hester’s missing husband, who is now practicing medicine and calling himself Roger Chillingworth. Dimmesdale’s psychological anguish deepens, and he invents new tortures for himself. Frustrated in his revenge, Chillingworth dies a year later.
