    Before he grieves: I wonder what President Obama’s thought process was when he first learned of the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. When he learned of the senseless murder of all those children, did he first attempt to qualify whether or not those children were “punishment” for their mothers for a mistake made in the heat of passion (http://youtu.be/HB5Frgw0Fww)? Has he finally come to terms with some sort of basic understanding of when life begins and humans are determined to be human enough to qualify for “Human Rights” (http://youtu.be/O3F7ZkoIeNM)? How many of those innocent young children, and of the adults...

    A Brandon man is in jail after a failed robbery attempt, and he has his mother to thank. Twenty-two-year-old Roy Mitchell's mother stopped him during the middle of his crime by taking away the weapon he had aimed at the clerk. It was all caught on video. It was around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday when Mitchell entered D's 1 Stop convenience store on Highway 80 in Brandon. On the video, Mitchell can be seen quickly grabbing some nacho cheese Doritos and throwing them on the counter. He then handed the clerk $2 to pay for his snack, but then things changed...
  • Standards-based grading holding at sixth-grade level; board president prepares to ‘move on’

    Lawrence Journal World ^ | November 30, 2011 | Mark Fagan
    Mark Bradford, president of the school board, generated some tension when he discussed the district’s plans for standards-based grading at the sixth-grade level. And teachers who may not like it, he suggested, essentially would have a choice to make — just as people decide where they want to live, or where they might choose to work. “Once the decision is made on how we’re going to do grading in this school district," he said, “then that’s the way it’s going to be.” Kim Beeler, a parent from Southwest who has been critical of standards-based grading in middle school, quickly stood...

  • BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN’S PLAN FOR SMALL BUSINESS

    Invest in Women-Owned Small Businesses: Women are majority owners of more than 28 percent of U.S. businesses, but lead less than 4 percent of venture capital-backed firms. Women business owners are more likely than white male business owners to have their loan applications denied. Barack Obama and Joe Biden encourage investment in women-owned businesses, providing more support to women business owners and reducing discrimination in lending. To create greater opportunities for women business owners who would like to do business with the federal government, Obama and Biden will implement the Women Owned Business contracting program that was signed into law...

    And if it weren't for the particular attributes of the historically black church, I may have accepted this fate. But as the months passed in Chicago, I found myself drawn - not just to work with the church, but to be in the church. For one thing, I believed and still believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change, a power made real by some of the leaders here today. Because of its past, the black church understands in an intimate way the Biblical call to feed the hungry and cloth the naked and challenge...
  • Missouri lawmaker gets Jayhawks in his sights

    Before entering Missouri, Jayhawks beware. A Missouri senator has introduced a bill to make the Kansas Jayhawk the official game bird of the state of Missouri. What’s a game bird, you might ask? It’s the official bird to be hunted throughout the state. A Jayhawk, remember, is a mythical creature. “Jeeze, I really don’t know what to say to that,” said KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony when told of the legislation. “I don’t know whether to be proud, afraid or outraged.” The bill was introduced Thursday afternoon by Sen. Dan Clemens, a Republican from Marshfield, Mo., just two days...
