From Boston.com:
To protect son, Roxbury minister moves family from neighborhood

Good read.

My campaign slogan for President was to “get you involved and keep you informed”. For getting people involved, I have asked, to this point, 25+ people if they wanted to join a committee. Some are unsure, and some are pretty decided about it. I need a few more people before I’m satisfied with the full list and can get to separating the willing into three groups.

For keeping people informed, I have quickly created a forum. I used the DAJ Glass style that I found on the phpbb’s styles section. I modified it a little to my tastes, specifically the header portion. I set up a basic set of forums, locked the ones that aren’t going to be used at this exact moment, and now I have it uploaded. The forum is for people from the class of ’07 only, as well as students from ’08 who used to be in ’07.

I’ve written down some ideas in a notebook. I’ve created a management site so the officers can stay on task. I think I’m up to a good start, considering that today is the last day of school and my job doesn’t really start until the first day of school next school year.

Mr. Allen has to be my favorite science teacher. He taught me physics last year, and while his class could be annoying sometimes, he’s a cool guy. Today, when I was in his classroom, I saw this board of common things that he says. I decided to take a picture of it because it’s so funny.

Article: Group says most states have poor school nutrition policies

The group evaluated school policies regarding foods and beverages sold in campus vending machines, school stores and school fundraisers. The evaluation excluded school meal programs.

Two statements here. For one, why are they including school fundraisers? Student organizations and clubs very often sell candy and other things of that variant, mainly because it sells. Secondly, why do they not include school meal programs? That’s the core of what students should be eating, and it should be a big part of the evaluation. Vending machines are a-ok to check on, as the school decides what goes into them.

So we have 20-some states receiving a failing grade for the lunch programs, and a senator trying to limit the Fluffernutter’s appearance as a main menu in schools. Correlation or coincidence?

Since the start of 2006, the U.S. government has given tax credits to hybrid car buyers, pushing some hybrids into bargain territory.

Give it a read.
