EXTRA HELP When Special Education Goes Too Easy on Students Parents Say Schools Game System, Let Kids Graduate Without Skills By JOHN HECHINGER and DANIEL GOLDEN August 21, 2007; Page A1 GREENPORT, N.Y. -- On June 25, 2006, Michael Bredemeyer threw his tasseled cap in the air and cheered after getting his high school diploma. Two days later, his parents mailed the diploma back. [More Data on Mainstreaming] * * * Plus, read more about the challenges of integrating special-needs students, at WSJ.com/Mainstreaming. Michael, now 19 years old, has learning disabilities and finished high school at a seventh-grade reading level, despite scoring above average on IQ tests. The Bredemeyers say he passed some classes because teachers inflated his grades and accepted poor work. By awarding him a meaningless diploma, they say, school officials avoided paying for ongoing instruction. "I felt proud because he had worked so hard," says Michael's mother, Beverly, her voice breaking. "You don't want to take that away from him. But you knew it wasn't real. What's he going to do in the future? Will he be able to go to college and get a job?" The Bredemeyers represent a new voice in special education: parents disappointed not because their children are failing, but because they're passing without learning. These families complain that schools give their children an easy academic ride through regular-education classes, undermining a new era of higher expectations for the 14% of U.S. students who are in special education. Years ago, schools assumed that students with disabilities would lag behind their non-disabled peers. They often were taught in separate buildings and left out of standardized testing. But a combination of two federal laws, adopted a quarter-century apart, have made it national policy to hold almost all children with disabilities to the same academic standards as other students. The 1975 statute now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act promoted putting special-education students in mainstream classrooms. The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act said schools would be punished if disabled children don't pass the same state tests as other students. It also requires states to set standards for high-school graduation rates and meet them for all students, including those with disabilities. By some measures, the extra attention is paying off. Test scores and classroom grades of disabled students are rising, and their high-school graduation rate increased to 54% in 2004 from 42% in 1996. But critics say some of the gains have come because schools have learned to game the system. For instance, federal rules allow states to make "reasonable accommodations" to help disabled students pass tests and graduate, such as allowing extra time on exams. Some schools, say critics, are giving students too much help, for instance by guiding students to the right answers on multiple-choice tests. MAKING THE GRADE • The Issue: Some parents of students with learning disabilities say their children are graduating too easily. • The Background: Federal laws raised school standards, but left loopholes. Increasingly, special-education students get special help to pass tests. • The Problem: If schools game the system, those students move on without the skills they need. From 2000 to 2005, special-education fourth graders showed more improvement in reading and math than the general population on an important benchmark test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. But accommodations also increased. In 2005, 70% of fourth-grade special education students received some sort of accommodation while taking the math portion, up from 44% five years earlier. In reading, 63% used accommodations in 2005, up from 29% in 2000. On tests used to measure compliance with No Child Left Behind, more states are permitting students with disabilities to use calculators on arithmetic tests or have reading-comprehension tests be read aloud. Massachusetts education commissioner David Driscoll warned school administrators in February that an alarming number of special education students -- a quarter or half in some cases -- were receiving such accommodations on state exams. With unclear guidelines, "People start driving trucks through loopholes," he said in an interview. Some school districts have an informal policy against failing students with disabilities even if they miss many classes or aren't learning. "I can go into any school we represent and have somebody tell me we have to pass special education students" to avoid being blamed for not providing the right services if students fail, says Janet Horton, a Texas special-education attorney. Federal law says special-education students should receive a "free appropriate public education," but it doesn't prohibit failing them. Mardys Leeper and Carol Merrill, former teachers at West Philadelphia High School in Pennsylvania, say a special-education administrator there ordered them to pass special-education students. Ms. Leeper says she made concessions for students with disabilities, such as letting them write shorter essays or copy paragraphs she wrote onto a word processor rather than composing their own. But when those students didn't make an effort, or skipped class, both teachers say they sometimes sought to fail them -- only to have the administrator insist on passing grades. The reason they were given: Students had met the goals of their federally mandated individual education plans, IEPs, spelling out goals and services for each special-education student. "Students who weren't even participating, even trying, we couldn't fail them," says Ms. Merrill, an English teacher who retired this year. Even if they couldn't read, "I had to give them a 'D.'" The administrator couldn't be reached for comment. Brenda Taylor, head of special education for the Philadelphia school district, called the matter a "breakdown in communication." The district has no written policy against failing special-education students, she says. But rather than being "punitive" if a student performs poorly or cuts class, she says, the district prefers to revise a student's IEP. "We're not in the business of failing students," Ms. Taylor says. Only 19 states require all students to earn the same kind of diploma, according to a recent University of Minnesota survey. Some of those states let special-education students amass fewer course credits to earn the degree, the survey found. Other states give substitute certificates, in some cases called IEP diplomas, to special-education students who don't qualify for standard diplomas. Many special-education parents are happy to see their children advance through school and graduate. Reggie Felton, director of federal policy for the National School Boards Association, says special-education students learn more in regular classes even if they're given a break on assignments or grading. The federal government recently decided to triple the percentage of students allowed to take easier tests, to 3% from 1%. Some legislators have proposed exempting more students. But the rebellion against too-easy passing is growing, says Pam Wright, who with her husband has co-authored books on special education issues and operates a Virginia-based information clearinghouse for special-education parents. She estimates she now receives more than 1,000 email messages a year from parents lamenting that their children with disabilities take mainstream courses but aren't being taught as much as their classmates. Dozens of parents have contended in recent administrative appeals that their children did not deserve the diplomas they received, she says. The family of Alba Somoza, who has cerebral palsy and speaks only with the help of a computer, filed one such case. Alba drew national attention in the 1990s when her family successfully pushed to include the then-third grader in a regular classroom. Then-President Bill Clinton backed her cause, and Alba, now 23, graduated with honors from a New York City high school in 2002. Last year, Alba and her family filed an administrative case claiming her education was a sham. A school report prepared weeks before she graduated showed she had language and math skills at an elementary school level, court records show. "You cannot shunt children through -- you cannot scam them through the system," says Alba's mother, Mary. [Michael Bredemeyer] Since shortly after she graduated, New York has been paying for a special program for Alba that costs $400,000 a year -- including a full-time teacher, an aide, transportation and extensive technology. The city says it is doing so out of compassion, not legal obligation. The family is seeking to continue the public funding another year to help Alba receive enough education to work as a museum docent. The Somozas lost the administrative case, but a judge in U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled in the family's favor earlier this year and ordered another hearing. Rather than develop a program that would help Alba reach her academic goals, teachers lowered the curriculum's "level of difficulty" and removed "large and meaningful portions of its substantive content," the judge said. One teacher testified that he did most of the work on Alba's final project in 2002. New York officials say the school properly adapted the curriculum for a severely disabled student. In northern California, Jennifer McGowan, an 18-year-old who is deaf in one ear and suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities, was supposed to graduate from Vacaville Unified School District in June. She didn't get her diploma -- because her family won a court injunction to stop it. In an interview, Jennifer said she often received A or B grades for poorly completed work or, at times, when she didn't do assignments at all or show up for class. Achievement tests she took in January 2005 showed that she had the math and reading skills of an elementary-school student, according to her administrative complaint. The school district denies her grades were inflated and said she showed her proficiency by passing a high-school exit exam. John Aycock, Vacaville's superintendent, said teachers did "a great job working with Jennifer." Jennifer says she failed the exit exam several times despite intensive preparation. "They just wanted to pass me and let me fly by," she says. The school system says it's not unusual to make several attempts to pass. At the Mercer Island school district in Washington state, the family of a girl with severe learning disabilities complains that, instead of the intense instruction she needed to master reading and math in eighth and ninth grades, teachers showered her with accommodations: a peer note-taker, a peer to read materials to her, oral exams, reduced assignments and a calculator on math tests. At an administrative hearing, the family -- whose names are not disclosed in the court papers -- sought to force the school system to pay for her private schooling. Noting her strong A and B grades, the district successfully argued that accommodations were helping her learn. In U.S. District Court in Seattle, a judge hearing an appeal of the case disagreed last year, saying the system improperly relied on accommodations rather than instruction, and has returned the case to a hearing officer to determine financial relief for the family. Boxes of school correspondence and Michael Bredemeyer's old tests and assignments line the hallways of his family's weather-beaten saltbox house in Orient, N.Y., on Long Island's North Fork. Michael's parents are demanding public funding for more services until age 21, to which students are entitled unless they graduate, so he can improve his academic skills for college. John Bredemeyer, a county public-health inspector, and his wife, Beverly, had high hopes for Michael, who has a strong work ethic and a knack for repairing machines. But once he entered public middle school in nearby Greenport, his parents worried that teachers were letting him skate through classes and tests. Michael, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities including dyslexia, says in some classes he "definitely earned" a passing grade, but others were "borderline." He took regular classes except for one period a day. "A little more one-on-one" instruction would have helped, he says. On state achievement exams, Michael's IEP permitted him extra time, simplified instructions and guidance from a teacher to slow him down if he rushed through answers. But when he completed the eighth-grade math test, his special-education teacher also took him to the resource room and directed him to redo problems he had answered incorrectly. According to a memo from Greenport Superintendent Charles Kozora, the teacher "exceeded the intent" of Michael's accommodations, boosting his score. The state investigated and invalidated Michael's test. [Revolt] Mr. Kozora said the school system had only two cases of testing irregularities in six years, few conflicts with parents over special education and "many successes" among students with disabilities. The district says achievement, and not cost, dictates its decisions on graduating students. When Michael was a junior at Greenport High, his chemistry teacher passed him with the minimum grade of 65, even though he says he spent much of the class doodling and playing solitaire on his laptop. Checking his assignments and tests, his parents couldn't understand how he could be passing. In a letter, the school principal acknowledged that the final grade was a "miscalculation" and should have been 56.6, or an F. The school offered to let him make up his lost credits by volunteering in the town library. When his parents balked, he was instead placed in courses in sociology and psychology. On one psychology pop quiz, five of Michael's seven answers were marked wrong, but a failing grade was crossed out on the paper and a passing score of 65 was substituted. The school district declined comment. For a senior English assignment, he received an A for one untitled paragraph. "I believe competition today has changed dramatically," he wrote. "Back in the day, sports was some of the only sports that had competition. Today, everyone wants to compete and only be successful. School work, school sports, major league sports, all involve high amounts of success and competition. Competition today has become very extreme." His English teacher, Michael Connolly, said he didn't remember the assignment and had no comment on the grade. On standardized tests, Michael had mixed results: On the SATs, which have a 200 to 800 scale, Michael received 330 and then 370 in two tries on the reading test, in the bottom 10% of all students nationally. On math, he scored 460 both times. He failed two state exams and passed five others. His school grades put him in the bottom one-third of his class. A month before graduation, the Bredemeyers debated whether he should accept the degree. "I wanted to have it," Michael says. "Get it and forget it." On graduation day, a school band played "Pomp and Circumstance." Michael's parents, his sister, his grandmother, aunts and uncles watched as he walked up to the podium and a school official handed him a purple diploma case with his name etched in gold letters. Michael says he knew his parents might not let him keep it. "I had a feeling they'd do something like that," he said, shrugging. "I'll eventually get it back, one of these days, months, years." This summer, Michael has been mowing lawns and picking up trash at a state park for $9 an hour. This fall, he plans to enter his second year at Suffolk County Community College, which does not require a high-school diploma. Last semester at Suffolk, he received a D-plus in freshman composition, D's in statistics and Western Civilization and an F in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Can an administrative law judge for Social Security get in trouble for lying when deciding an appeals case? Had my SSI Court Appeal back in November, received my denial of benefits last week (filed another appeal), and when going over the documents that she sent back, nothing was accurate and she didn't include hardly anything I said during my appearance. She failed to mention that I have severe scoliosis which will require surgery to fix, and wrote it off as "back pain". She lied about what I can and can't do, and it just seems as if she totally didn't listen to a word I said, and didn't mention anything in the documents. I am very upset, I have a disabling genetic bone disease (that I've had since birth and all my drs have said I can't work), have severe asthma/allergies, scoliosis, degenerative arthritis as well as rhemetoid arthritis, I am not giong to get better. Will only get worse, no matter what "treatments" I am given. Have already had several surgeries and am going back on May 28th for another. Can anything be done? Except file another appeal and get a good lawyer? Thanks for the responses. I have filed my case with Binder and Binder.
Can you enlinst in the National Guard with an "Administrative Separation (medical)" from the Navy? We are requesting a copy of the discharge form to find out what the discharge code it. But it was listed as "Administrative Separation due to medical terms". The reason being psoraisis, a mild case. My husband is wanting to serve again and we are trying to find out how to make this work. I have read on the NG forums that you can get a waiver, however I am still waiting for my membership to be approved so I can't post yet. Another question is how do you appeal a discharge such as medical? He was told the only way he will be let back in the Navy is with the President's Signature. Thanks Sweets. Psoriasis is something that never goes away. However it is not something that will prevent him from active duty. He was in air crew/ rescue swimmer school and they considered it a risk while he was in the "air". That was it. From what I have read on NG forums (again unable to post yet) "Psoriasis does not disqualify you from joining the Guard, as long as it is a mild case. You do not need a waiver for it". So then would he be able to just enlist? Not have to worry about fighting the DD214 (sorry if thats the wrong number)
Being moved by the university, how to appeal? Someone I know is being moved out of her room and into another because of living conditions with her housemate. The college administrative officer decided on this because the other housemate is an RA and cannot be moved or something. The resident I know is claiming she was treated with bias and wants to appeal but they say because it is not a judicial matter there is no way to appeal. Is being moved against your will a judicial matter? *the ra was drunk one day and told he boss a ton of stupid made up shit cause she was mad at her housemate and is too embarrassed to admit it officially, she has admitted it to several other ras though in private*
how do i get a death certificate filed, after i have been to the funeral service commission? my friend died on 1-23-05, and still the funeral home has not filed a death certificate. i went to the texas funeral service commission 10-19-05. the funeral home was found in violation of texas laws. the funeral home appealed the decision and now i am waiting on a date for the office of administrative hearing to hear the funeral homes case. in the appeals process there still has not been a death certificate filed for my deceased friend.
Choking on administrative regs and requirements? How about if we actually had due process in admin law? Like requiring the government to issue timely responses to filings, having a timely and meaningful appeal process, and reversing the burden on permit filings (asking for permit means you get it unless the government can show compelling reason why you shouldn't get it). For fed agencies, we should have immediate review in Federal Court and govt pays all legal fees if it loses in court. Same standard for states, but each state would have to do it severally. I'm tired of asking permission for X, Y or Z (or, even more aptly, permission to extend the approval I already received for X, Y or Z) and having to wait until agency A or bureaucrat B feels like showing up to work to give me an answer. If they are overworked, it means we are overregulated, right? What do you think? PS-The Feds alone publish a 200-300 page book every business day that contains rules, regs, proposed rules & regs, and comments on proposed rules & regs. Add in the statutes and the state laws, rules, & regs, and even if you did nothing every business day but read this stuff, you still would not know what rules applied to everything you do. Gaack!

Australian legal help for an application? My correspondence university could not find any record of me being enrolled, despite them sending me a letter of confirmation. So I had to enroll a second time, and the study materials became available in week 4, and only on the second-last day of the penalty-free period (census date). Now I'm committed to getting a result and paying the $1500 fee, but it's obvious that this subject isn't suitable for me. I can apply to the university to have the penalties waived, and if that is unsuccessful, I can take it to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. I want be careful how I word it, because it says that if the study materials haven't arrived by the census date, this is no grounds for a waiving of the penalty. The problem was caused by the uncertainty of having the study material, but only for a short time before I was committed to the subject. It's not worth spending $100's to get legal help on this, but are there lawyers in Newcastle, Australia who do the 20 minutes for $20? Cheers.
Does a State entity have the right to ignore federal regulations and not be punished for it? A state rehabilitation department that is to make disabled persons employable denied me services; as it was wrongly requiring me to complete a needs test when federal regulations stipulate, as an SSDI recipient, I’m not subject to such testing (34CFR361.54(3)(ii)). I petitioned for an administrative hearing, but the hearing officer didn’t acknowledge relevant federal laws. I appealed to the Governor’s reviewing official, but was categorically denied again. Once in federal court, the defendant acknowledged amendments to its policy because of my efforts, and offered restitution; but only once forced to court. The judge dismissed the case because, stating, once the government offers compensation, it has removed the burden of intent from the case and it can no longer be prosecuted. Am I wrong to think that once court proceedings commence, after the administrative procedures have concluded, the defendant’s intent has been fully satisfied?

Geeks or Wonks? A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks : Status quo or Change ? A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks Lots of people get interested in political ideas through political campaigns. Maybe this is because politics forces you to decide who you are and what you believe. I can vaguely recall when I was very young, perhaps 7 years old, that I discovered that my best friend's family considered themselves Democratic whereas I was pretty sure that my family was Republican. I asked someone what that meant and only received hazy answers that concerned seemingly big issues about government. I didn't think much about it but nonetheless, they were my first thoughts on the thing that would consume my life. So it is for lots of people: politics is the entry way into taking political ideas seriously. If your interest intensifies, you tend to go one of two ways: wonk or geek. These are terms that apply in many categories of life – Wikipedia gives serviceable definitions of both wonk and geek – but the terms take on new meaning in politics. Political wonks are fascinated by process. They love the game. They get as much satisfaction from observing as changing. They want to be players above all else. Ideals bore them. History is mere data. Intellectuals seem irrelevant. What matters to the wonk are the hard realities of the ongoing political struggle. They defer to title and rank. They thrive on meetings, small victories, administrative details, and gossip about these matters. Knowing who is who and what is what is the very pith of life. There are political wonks and policy wonks. They exist on all levels of society. They appear to be running things, because their aim is to control the levers of power in just the right and strategic way, which means in a way that benefits the other wonks of their tribe. Geographically, life begins and ends in the beltway. They thrive on keeping information private and cartelizing their class. Their newspaper is the Washington Post, which they consider to be the insider report. In contrast to this are the policy geeks. They are no less fascinated by detail but are drawn to ideals. Observation alone bores them. They are drawn to the prospect of change. They don't want to be players as such; they question the very rules of the game and want to change them. They are happy to make a difference in the ideological infrastructure, whether big or small. They tend to work alone and totally disregard caste distinctions. They are interested not in the surface area but what's underneath, not the veneer but the wood. In software terms, they are forever looking forward to the next build. They are risk takers, so they prefer to debug after the system is live. In politics, this means that the geeks are drawn to ideas, even radical ideas. They can easily imagine what doesn't exist, which makes them dreamers and entrepreneurs. And so they are attracted to and study history and philosophy and economics. It doesn't matter if a lesson can be learned from the ancients or moderns; indeed, unearthing an old idea and bringing it back to life has a special appeal. They thrive on making information public, on smashing old structures, breaking cartels, and busting monopolies of power. Geographically, they can live and work anywhere, and they have no attachment to any single information source. The geeks and wonks can work together but their will always be a natural tensions between the two. The wonks think the geeks are hopeless, powerless, reckless outsiders whose heads are full of useless and unrealistic fantasies. The geeks think that the wonks are part of the system and, therefore, more than likely corrupted by it, and increasingly so. Broadening the view, the struggle to control history is a battle between the wonks and the geeks. The wonks are the ones who consolidate, stabilize, and entrench the status quo; the geeks are the ones who prepare revolutionary change. The wonks freeze it into place and make it work more efficiently; the geeks imagine and work toward a future that no one thought was possible. They wonks rule out drastic and extreme measures as imprudent and reckless; the geeks think these paths are the only ones worth pursing, and have confidence that the unknown future will somehow work itself out. The wonks try to bring the king around to their point of view; the geeks kill the king. Caesar: Wonk - Brutus: Geek ; Hamilton: Wonk - Jefferson: Geek Cheney: Wonk - Ron Paul: Geek Part of the agenda of democracy is to turn the whole of society into a herd of wonks who believe in the process and want to make it work. But it isn't so easy to control human nature. There are always the geeks to contend with who see that the system is based on a lie and want to overturn it. Why should the majority rule the minority – or, more precisely, why should the well-organized minority rule the relatively indifferent majority? What we need is democracy 2.0 in which power and privilege are not steered but abolished altogether. Who will carry the day? In the short run, the wonks are right. They win. They rule. They ruled the ancient world for hundreds of years. They ruled the Soviet Union for 72. They rule the US today. But the long run is another matter. Rome and the Soviet Union fell, in revolutions enacted by geeks. The wonks eventually come to underestimate the power of ideas and underappreciate the effect of ideals. Which life is worth living? The wonk is famous, even legendary. The geek rarely achieves fame, even when he does change history. Why? The wonks write the history. But it is the geeks who make history happen in the first place. The geeks will look back at their lives with satisfaction that they did their best to realize a dream. The wonks, looking back at their lives, see that they were little more than a cog in a machine. Someday, even in the US, they may have to concede that all they did crumbled into nothingness. http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/ Jeffrey Tucker is editorial vice president of www.Mises.org.
Californians and State Disability? Anyone know how to get (rightfully) your state disability benefits from the state when they unlawfully deny your claim. Ive already been through the appeals court with an administrative judge. Ive contacted several lawyers but they are lukewarm because it isnt a big payday for them. Is there any oversight agency or another department i can go to?
Pending NJ License suspension affecting my FL Drivers License? I have a pending license suspension in NJ. Its an administrative suspension for something not driving related. I have appealed it and it is now going to an Administrative Law judge. During this time, I have moved to Florida and changed my license over. What is going to happen to my Florida license if while I have it, NJ suspends my priviledges? I have a CDL by the way. Does having a CDL also affect what will happen? *Only professionals like lawyers, people of the court, dmv employees, or people who have had experience in this is who I am looking for. I do not want to be steered in the wrong direction because this is my license and its serious. Thanks. RE: The first answer... I understand where you are coming from. My prior understanding from what you are saying is if I had my NJ license and got a ticket in FL and decided not to pay it, That would be a problem. But the suspension is only affecting my NJ license. Now that I am licensed in FL, Anything that happens in NJ, as far as i know, stays in NJ. I mean, if my priviledge in NJ becomes suspended, NJ can only suspend my priviledge there. It is up to FL to decide if they want to suspend my license or not. I was told this would not affect me if I changed my license over prior to suspension, which I did. I was also told though that if the suspension still exists in NJ when I go to renew, I will not be able to. But I am unsure about that. I am unsure about a lot of things. Someone help. I may or may not have the right info. Also, if I lose the appeal and my priviledge gets suspended in NJ, I plan on reinstating my priviledge in NJ and paying the restoration fee before I renew my FL license if it does not get suspended.
Medical job without heavy lifting? I am interested in a career in the medical or health field. I love helping people, and I greatly enjoy learning about medical and health related issues. Problem is I herniated 5 spinal disks back in 2001 and lifting anything above 15 pounds is still risky. I would like a clinical position, as opposed to an administrative/paperwork job. I have checked into diagnostic medical sonography, radiology technology, physical therapy, etc. - but they all require you to be able to lift patients. I have thought about dental hygiene - but I don't find the field of dentistry appealing. I also thought about being a nurse in a doctor's office since there should be little to no lifting - but the internships are done in hospitals so while in school, I would be expected to lift patients. Can anyone think of a clinical position in medicine where I wouldn't have to lift patients or move heavy equipment? (Even Respitory Therapists have to push machines that weigh 600 pounds.) Thanks in advance!
Does any one here know what happens when some one converts to Christianity like Obama? apostasy against Islam? public debate has been underway in Egypt over the regime's treatment of the country's Christians. This debate emerged following lawsuits by Christians who had converted to Islam and then reconverted to Christianity, and who were now demanding that the Egyptian Interior Ministry issue them new official documents in their original names and with "Christian" in the "religion" entry field. In April 2007, the Egyptian administrative court rejected an appeal by Christians who had converted to Islam and then reverted to Christianity, and also accused them of apostasy against Islam – the punishment for which is death, according to the common interpretation. Why has no one asked Obama how it is he gets a fee pass from Islam? Is he a plant to over throw the west and put his brother Osama in power? What did he learn in Shari'a School and why is the drive be Media not asking him these things? http://www.memri.org/bin/opener_latest.cgi?ID=SD167507 Read the link this something the drive meida is not asking and no one else why are Muslims silent. There is a Turkish and Muslim saying" it is OK to kiss your enemy's feet till you can take a knife to his throat" Be aware of Obama. It would be something if One Lib could get past their self value and look at facts. But the same from them each and every day/ If a they have some one for more than a week I would bet it get very boring.
What happens now and what should I do? I got unemployment after I quit my job. My ex employer filed an appeal and the Administrative Law Judge decided in my favor. Now my ex employer filed a second appeal (however it was filed a day late). I only received benefits for the month I was unemplolyed and stopped receiving them after I got my new job. I don't want to have anything to do with my old employer, and want this over and done with. But they keep appealing the unemployement. My ex supervisor quit her job the same day I did and she is still getting her unemployement. Why aren't they appealing hers and what should I do about this second appeal they sent?

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13, No. 14 04/07/06 States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. RIGHT-TO-CARRY NOW LAW IN NEBRASKA! On April 5, Governor Dave Heineman (R) signed Legislative Bill 454 into law, making Right-to-Carry the law of the land in Nebraska! "It took over a decade to bring Right-to-Carry to the good citizens of Nebraska, but those years of hard work have paid off tremendously," declared NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. "I want to thank Governor Dave Heineman, and Senator Jeanne Combs (R-32), for their support and their efforts in giving Nebraskans the right to protect themselves and their loved ones. Senator Combs' dedication and persistence was vital in ensuring passage of this measure through the state legislature." LB 454 passed with bi-partisan support, as Nebraska senators voted 33-12 in favor of the measure. The bill allows law-abiding Nebraskans who undergo a background check and apply for a permit to carry a concealed firearm for self-protection. Two weeks ago, legislators in neighboring Kansas overrode Governor Sebelius' (D) veto to bring Right-to-Carry to that state as well. Now, of all the 50 states, only Wisconsin and Illinois flatly refuse to recognize the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms for self-protection against criminal attack. "Once again, on behalf of our NRA members in Nebraska, I want to thank all the legislators who voted to bring Right-to-Carry to their state," concluded Cox. "And as always, we appreciate the commitment and participation of our members in Nebraska for their part in making it happen." To view this legislation use the "Bills" feature at the following link http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp GOVERNOR RILEY SIGNS ALABAMA "CASTLE DOCTRINE" INTO LAW! On April 4, Alabama Governor Bob Riley (R) signed NRA-backed "Castle Doctrine" bill SB 283 into law. Senator Larry Means (D-10), and Representative Albert Hall (D-22), sponsored the self-defense bill. With overwhelming support, SB 283 passed the Alabama House by a vote of 82 to 9, and the Alabama State Senate by a vote of 30 to 2. ILA's Chris W. Cox, stated, "We thank Governor Riley for signing this vital legislation into law for the people of Alabama. Law-abiding citizens now have the choice to defend themselves and their families in the face of attack without fear of criminal prosecution and civil litigation." The "Castle Doctrine" bill removes the "duty to retreat" if an individual is attacked in his or her home, vehicle, place of business, or any other place he or she has a legal right to be. This legislation also states that victims may use necessary force to defend themselves against the attacker. "I would like to thank the bill's sponsors, Senator Means and Representative Hall, and the Alabama State Senators and State Representatives who supported this bill. As always, we also thank all the NRA members and lawful gun owners who contacted their representatives and urged them to support this vital self-defense measure," concluded Cox. SUPPORT HR 5092-- "THE BATFE MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2006" On April 5, the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security--Representatives Howard Coble (R-N.C.), and Bobby Scott (D-Va.)--joined forces to introduce H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) Modernization and Reform Act of 2006." This bipartisan bill is a critical first step toward finally reforming BATFE. First and foremost, H.R. 5092 totally revises the system of administrative penalties for licensed dealers, manufacturers and importers of firearms. Today, for most violations, BATFE can only give an FFL holder a warning, or totally revoke the license. This bill would allow fines or license suspensions for less serious violations, while allowing license revocation for the kind of serious violations that would block an investigation or put guns in the hands of criminals. H.R. 5092 also clarifies the standard for violations-allowing penalties for intentional, purposeful violations of the law, but not for simple paperwork mistakes. Congress thought it had fixed this problem in 1986 when it passed the Firearms Owners' Protection Act, but the government has ignored that law-and has even argued in court that the 1986 changes were "without practical significance." The bill also improves the process by which BATFE imposes these penalties, notably by allowing FFLs to appeal BATFE penalties to a neutral administrative law judge, rather than to an employee of BATFE itself. H.R. 5092 would change BATFE's enforcement operations in several ways, from requiring the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice to review of BATFE gun show enforcement operations, to demanding that the Bureau establish clear investigative guidelines. Finally, the bill would focus BATFE's efforts on violations of firearms, explosives, arson, alcohol and tobacco laws, rather than non-jurisdictional areas. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Modernization and Reform Act of 2006!" SENATOR VITTER INTRODUCES S. 2599--THE SENATE VERSION OF THE "DISASTER RECOVERY PERSONAL PROTECTION ACT OF 2006" On April 7, U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-La.) introduced S. 2599--the Senate companion bill to H.R. 5013, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006" introduced on March 28, by U.S. Congressman Bobby Jindal (R-La.). This NRA-supported bill would amend federal emergency statute laws to prohibit local authorities from confiscating lawfully owned firearms during times of disaster. Thirty three states have "emergency powers" laws that give the government permission to suspend or limit gun sales, and to prohibit or restrict citizens from transporting or carrying firearms--something NRA-ILA is working to change. In some states, authorities can seize guns outright from citizens who have committed no crime--and who would then be defenseless against disorder. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative, and urge them to cosponsor and support S. 2599, and H.R. 5013, respectively, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006!" You can reach your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your Representative at (202) 225-3121. SUPPORT H.R. 5005, THE "FIREARMS CORRECTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACT" Representative Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) recently introduced H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act," which would make a variety of technical changes to federal firearm laws. The bill would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the arena of firearms laws. Among its provisions, H.R. 5005 would: permanently ban taxes or "user fees" on background checks by the federal instant check system--fees that Congress has prohibited in annual appropriations riders since 1998; permanently ban creation of a centralized electronic index of dealers' records--a threat to gun owners' privacy that Congress has barred through appropriations riders for a decade; codify limits on disclosure of trace records--which Congress has already limited through a series of appropriations riders over the past few years, out of concern for gun owners' privacy and the confidentiality of law enforcement records; and repeal of obsolete language from the Brady Act's "interim" waiting period provisions, that expired in 1998. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act!"

A LOOK AT THE STATES (***For all of the action items below, you can find contact information for your legislators by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org. As always, thank you for your support.***) States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. ARIZONA The Arizona Department of Game and Fish is hosting an area meeting to discuss locations for a new shooting range in Northern Arizona. Your presence is needed to help show support this new local shooting range. This meeting will be held Saturday, April 15, from 10:00 a.m., to 2:00 p.m., at the Northern Arizona University du Bois Center located at 306 E. Pine Knoll Drive, Flagstaff, 86011. Please mark you calendar for this date! For more information please contact: Mark Meyer at (480) 967-1343 or via e-mail at mmeyer@lsdaz.com. More meetings will be scheduled in the future, so please keep checking the NRA-ILA website for updates. After working closely with NRA leadership in Arizona, State Representative Pamela Gorman (R-6) has withdrawn her amendment, regarding state operated shooting ranges, from SB 1291. We here at NRA realize we have a strong ally in Representative Gorman, who will work to protect Arizona ranges and your Second Amendment rights. Please take a moment to send Representative Gorman a note thanking her for working with the NRA to resolve this issue and encourage her to continue to work with us to protect Arizona's gun owners and sportsmen. State Representative Gorman's e-mail address is pgorman@azleg.gov. CONNECTICUT As we have been reporting, the anti-gun crowd has redoubled their efforts to pass last year's proposal to make it a crime to fail to report the loss or theft of a firearm within 72 hours from when you "knew or should have known" of the theft. This year's version is outrageous! H.B. 5818, now includes language that would subject gun owners to criminal investigation and jeopardy of prosecution even if they report the theft because a court will now be given the ability to decide whether the firearm was stored in such a manner that provided "substantial and unjustifiable risk" that it would be stolen. Even worse, if the police recover the firearm before the gun owner has discovered it missing and made the report, it will be considered automatic evidence of guilt of violation of this proposed law, as well as guilt of an illegal transfer. Conviction of the "illegal transfer," which is a felony, would permanently end your right to own a firearm! In response to the large number of phone calls that are coming in from legitimate gun owners, Connecticut Against Gun Violence has put out desperate pleas to the anti-gun crowd asking them to write, e-mail and call lawmakers in an effort to drown out your voice! If you have not contacted your legislators yet, we urge you to do so today! The Public Safety and Security Committee could consider HB 5818 as early as next week. The Public Safety and Security Committee can be reached at (860) 240-0570. For more information on the Public Safety and Security Committee please visit www.cga.ct.gov/ps/. DELAWARE The Delaware House of Representatives may be voting as early as Tuesday on H.B. 359, sponsored by Representative Deborah Hudson (R-12), the NRA-backed "shall-issue" Right-to-Carry bill. This bill would allow law-abiding citizens that fulfilled the requirements for a concealed weapons permit to be granted a permit without discrimination. Your State Representative needs to hear from you! Please take the time to call or e-mail your State Representative TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to support HB 359 when it comes before them for consideration. The future of Right-to-Carry in Delaware depends on it! IDAHO Thanks to the efforts of NRA members across the State of Idaho who sent thousands of e-mails and made countless phone calls to State lawmakers, four important bills have become law in the state and a fifth is on the way. Senator Gerry Sweet (R-20) and Representative Bill Sali (R-21) co-sponsored three NRA-supported bills: House Bill 686 will protect non-profit shooting ranges and gun clubs from having taxes imposed on their range fees and membership dues; Senate Bill 1401, "Emergency Powers" legislation, will prevent government officials from imposing restrictions on the lawful possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display or use of firearms and ammunition during a disaster emergency; and Senate Bill 1428, "Right-to-Carry" reform legislation, that extends the concealed weapon license from four to five years and, like driver's licenses, requires renewal notices be sent out prior to license expiration. This bill also provides an exemption from the concealed weapon license requirement for a person who possesses a concealed weapon while on property he or she owns or leases. Senator Skip Brandt (R-8) proposed House Bill 608, legislation that creates an NRA motor vehicle license plate. This bill has also become law, so look to sign up for a special NRA license plate in the near future. The fifth bill, Senate Bill 1441, is "Castle Doctrine" legislation that would provide immunity from civil action for anyone who has used lawful force in self-defense. Under SB 1441, if a criminal attacks a victim and the victim successfully defends him or herself and, in the process, injures or kills the criminal, then neither the criminal nor the criminal's family can obtain a judgment against the victim for damages. This bill, carried by Senators Mel Richardson (R-32) and Joyce Broadsword (R-2), has passed both the Senate and House and is headed to the Governor's desk. ILLINOIS Thanks to the efforts of those who contacted their State Representative, H.B. 4853 passed the House with an NRA-supported amendment that excludes ammunition. The House concurred on this legislation with the Senate offered and NRA-supported amendment overwhelmingly by voting 115 to 1. Without this important amendment, H.B. 4853 as originally passed by the House could have been used to target ammunition manufacturers, distributors, users, and owners of property where firearms are lawfully discharged. This legislation will now head to the Governor's desk. LOUISIANA On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary C Committee reported out S.B. 93, by Senator Joe McPherson (D-29), NRA-backed legislation amending the state's emergency powers act to prohibit the seizure and confiscation of legally possessed firearms in the unfortunate event of another natural disaster in the State of Louisiana. The full Senate could vote the bill on as early as Monday afternoon. Please e-mail and call your State Senators on Monday morning and urge them to support SB 93. Although an official agenda had not been posted as when this Alert went to print, it is expected the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee may hold hearings on the House versions of measures to end New Orleans-style gun confiscations during a state of emergency: H.B. 36 by Representative Pete Schneider (R-90), H.B. 136 by Representative Troy Hebert (D-49), H.B. 172 by Representative Danny Martiny (R-79), and HB 760 by Representative Steve Scalise (R-82). Please email and call the members of the committee and urge them to support these measures. The committee normally meets on Wednesday and Thursday mornings in Room 6 of the State Capitol. To contact your state lawmakers, check the committee's schedule, and agenda, or for a list of committee members, please call the PULS line at (225) 342-2456 (from the Baton Rouge area) or (800) 256-3793 (outside the Baton Rouge area) or visit http://senate.legis.state.la.us/Senators, http://house.louisiana.gov, and http://www.legis.state.la.us MAINE Representative Josh Tardy (R-Newport) is offering an important amendment that adds two important provisions to L.D.1938, "An Act To Protect Victims of Domestic Violence." The "Tardy Amendment" would do the following: (1) Allow the court to order a person seeking a "protection from abuse" order--who is proven to be in "bad faith"--to pay damages and reasonable attorney's fees to the defendant and; (2) Makes law enforcement officials responsible for damage to firearms resulting from a lack of reasonable care, which are seized, surrendered or relinquished. Presently, the possibility of "bad faith" orders within the court system create a "shadow of doubt"--hurting the true victims of domestic violence. This measure would help eliminate "bad faith" orders from occurring, thus furthering validity for all legitimate "protection from abuse" proceedings. Furthermore, relinquished firearms are often damaged and sometimes never returned to the owner after a "protection from abuse" order is terminated. This amendment would correct that problem. Similar language recently passed the Pennsylvania Legislature and was supported by all stakeholders, including gun owners as well as domestic violence organizations. This measure passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support. Please call your State Legislator today and respectfully ask him or her to support the "Tardy Amendment!" Your State Legislator can be contacted in Augusta at (800) 423-2900. MICHIGAN Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) signed two pro-gun bills, both sponsored by Representative Rick Jones (R-71). H.B. 4643 addresses a problem with concealed pistol licenses (CPL) being renewed in a timely fashion. Apparently, the Detroit area was taking 9 to 10 months to renew concealed pistol licenses! HB 4643 corrects the renewal process by requiring a proper renewal to be completed within 60 days or the license is extended for 180 days or until the permit is renewed. H.B. 4642 allows a licensed spouse to carry or transport another licensed spouse's inspected pistol. A thank you goes out to Governor Granholm for signing these two important Right-to-Carry reform bills into law. NEW YORK On April 9, members of the Assembly Health Committee are set to consider A. 6608A, sponsored by Assemblywoman Ginny Fields (D-5), an NRA-supported bill that would protect existing shooting ranges from new noise ordinances and nuisance lawsuits aimed at shutting them down. A. 6608A provides that facilities must comply with noise ordinances in place at the time of construction of the range. The Senate companion bill to A 6608A, S. 3353A, is sponsored by Senator Dale Volker (R-59) and could be voted on by the full Senate at any time. Please contact your lawmakers today and urge them to support A. 6606A and S. 3353A. The general phone number to the Senate is (518) 455-2800. The general phone number for the Assembly is (518) 455-4100. SOUTH CAROLINA Thanks to phone calls from NRA members H. 4681, introduced by Representative Mike Pitts (R-14), unanimously passed the House Judiciary Committee's Constitutional Laws Subcommittee with an added amendment that further strengthens the bill. H 4681 will now come before the full Judiciary Committee. This legislation would remove the ability of local governments to restrict the use, sale, or transportation of firearms during a state of emergency, and would also prohibit South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) from releasing the personal information of Right-to-Carry (RTC) permit holders unless the request for the information is part of an investigation by law enforcement. Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to support H 4681. A list of the members of the Judiciary Committee can be found by going to www.scstatehouse.net/html-pages/housecommlst.html#jud TEXAS Primary runoff elections will be held on Tuesday, April 11. Please check www.nrapvf.org to see whether a runoff election is being held in your area and to see how the candidates measure up on issues of importance to gun owners and sportsmen. Spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers about the primary runoff elections, because every vote counts!
I need legal advice from an attorney that deals with probation and parole issues...? I have a friend in need of advice, I'll let her explain below: If someone is possibly about to be revoked on a staed sentence, can a probation agent make this person sign papers before going in front of a administrative judge? And, if that is what has happened, is there any way to appeal this so that he can go in front of the judge to hear his case?
Status quo or Change ?Geeks or Wonks? A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks :? Geeks or Wonks? A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks : Status quo or Change ? A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks Lots of people get interested in political ideas through political campaigns. Maybe this is because politics forces you to decide who you are and what you believe. I can vaguely recall when I was very young, perhaps 7 years old, that I discovered that my best friend's family considered themselves Democratic whereas I was pretty sure that my family was Republican. I asked someone what that meant and only received hazy answers that concerned seemingly big issues about government. I didn't think much about it but nonetheless, they were my first thoughts on the thing that would consume my life. So it is for lots of people: politics is the entry way into taking political ideas seriously. If your interest intensifies, you tend to go one of two ways: wonk or geek. These are terms that apply in many categories of life – Wikipedia gives serviceable definitions of both wonk and geek – but the terms take on new meaning in politics. Political wonks are fascinated by process. They love the game. They get as much satisfaction from observing as changing. They want to be players above all else. Ideals bore them. History is mere data. Intellectuals seem irrelevant. What matters to the wonk are the hard realities of the ongoing political struggle. They defer to title and rank. They thrive on meetings, small victories, administrative details, and gossip about these matters. Knowing who is who and what is what is the very pith of life. There are political wonks and policy wonks. They exist on all levels of society. They appear to be running things, because their aim is to control the levers of power in just the right and strategic way, which means in a way that benefits the other wonks of their tribe. Geographically, life begins and ends in the beltway. They thrive on keeping information private and cartelizing their class. Their newspaper is the Washington Post, which they consider to be the insider report. In contrast to this are the policy geeks. They are no less fascinated by detail but are drawn to ideals. Observation alone bores them. They are drawn to the prospect of change. They don't want to be players as such; they question the very rules of the game and want to change them. They are happy to make a difference in the ideological infrastructure, whether big or small. They tend to work alone and totally disregard caste distinctions. They are interested not in the surface area but what's underneath, not the veneer but the wood. In software terms, they are forever looking forward to the next build. They are risk takers, so they prefer to debug after the system is live. In politics, this means that the geeks are drawn to ideas, even radical ideas. They can easily imagine what doesn't exist, which makes them dreamers and entrepreneurs. And so they are attracted to and study history and philosophy and economics. It doesn't matter if a lesson can be learned from the ancients or moderns; indeed, unearthing an old idea and bringing it back to life has a special appeal. They thrive on making information public, on smashing old structures, breaking cartels, and busting monopolies of power. Geographically, they can live and work anywhere, and they have no attachment to any single information source. The geeks and wonks can work together but their will always be a natural tensions between the two. The wonks think the geeks are hopeless, powerless, reckless outsiders whose heads are full of useless and unrealistic fantasies. The geeks think that the wonks are part of the system and, therefore, more than likely corrupted by it, and increasingly so. Broadening the view, the struggle to control history is a battle between the wonks and the geeks. The wonks are the ones who consolidate, stabilize, and entrench the status quo; the geeks are the ones who prepare revolutionary change. The wonks freeze it into place and make it work more efficiently; the geeks imagine and work toward a future that no one thought was possible. They wonks rule out drastic and extreme measures as imprudent and reckless; the geeks think these paths are the only ones worth pursing, and have confidence that the unknown future will somehow work itself out. The wonks try to bring the king around to their point of view; the geeks kill the king. Caesar: Wonk - Brutus: Geek ; Hamilton: Wonk - Jefferson: Geek Cheney: Wonk - Ron Paul: Geek Part of the agenda of democracy is to turn the whole of society into a herd of wonks who believe in the process and want to make it work. But it isn't so easy to control human nature. There are always the geeks to contend with who see that the system is based on a lie and want to overturn it. Why should the majority rule the minority – or, more precisely, why should the well-organized minority rule the relatively indifferent majority? What we need is democracy 2.0 in which power and privilege are not steered but abolished altogether. Who will carry the day? In the short run, the wonks are right. They win. They rule. They ruled the ancient world for hundreds of years. They ruled the Soviet Union for 72. They rule the US today. But the long run is another matter. Rome and the Soviet Union fell, in revolutions enacted by geeks. The wonks eventually come to underestimate the power of ideas and underappreciate the effect of ideals. Which life is worth living? The wonk is famous, even legendary. The geek rarely achieves fame, even when he does change history. Why? The wonks write the history. But it is the geeks who make history happen in the first place. The geeks will look back at their lives with satisfaction that they did their best to realize a dream. The wonks, looking back at their lives, see that they were little more than a cog in a machine. Someday, even in the US, they may have to concede that all they did crumbled into nothingness. http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/... Jeffrey Tucker is editorial vice president of www.Mises.org

MBA vs. MHA? What advanced degree do you think makes the most sense? I have an undergraduate degree in health policy and administration (BSPH). By the time I enter a graduate school program I will have 4 years of health care consulting experience, predominantly Medicaid and Medicare related. I have thought about both completing an MHA program or an MBA program that has a focus in health care. The course work in an MHA program appeals to me more, but I'm wondering if getting an MBA may be a smarter move given my undergraduate degree and work experience. I would eventually like to hold an administrative position at a hospital, health plan, or physician group. I've also thought about working for state government, helping to run/administer a Medicaid program. Any advice would be appreciated!!
Career Crisis at 26!? I just graduated from uni in America 2 years ago and since then I've had a problem figuring out what I want to do for a living. I thought I wanted to do Marketing/Publicity but soon realized the business world is very ruthless which is not me at all - more a caring person. I thought about working in nonprofit but while interning at one realized there's many politics and misuse of funds in nonprofit orgs as well. I thought about going abroad but the peace corps and roughing it didn't appeal to me enough to do it for a year or more. I was an administrative assistant for a tv production company but got fired because I couldn't keep up with all the work (would forget or mess something up - was my first job). Now I'm gunshy because I'm afraid the same will come of me in any position. I like helping people and my degree is in int'l studies and communication but right now it's just a piece of paper i'm paying for and not using. I always seem to find something wrong with every idea. Plz help!
Do you think this was a fair or a discriminatory judgement? France rejects veiled Muslim wife http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7503757.stm A French court has denied citizenship to a Muslim woman from Morocco, ruling that her practice of "radical" Islam is not compatible with French values. The 32-year-old woman, known as Faiza M, has lived in France since 2000 with her husband - a French national - and their three French-born children. Social services reports said the burqa-wearing Faiza M lived in "total submission to her male relatives". Faiza M said she has never challenged the fundamental values of France. Her initial application for French citizenship was rejected in 2005 on the grounds of "insufficient assimilation" into France. She appealed, and late last month the Conseil d'Etat, France's highest administrative body which also acts as a high court, upheld the decision to deny her citizenship. ~~~~~~~ Keep in mind, the courts have NO way of knowing that this woman's home life was like. And she went to court of her own free will. Let me make this clear, since her husband is a french national and she lives with him they cannot invade the privacy of their home. They cannot step across the threshold of their door until they are given permission and can only do so as long as that permission is valid, unless they suspect a law is being broken. Chances are the social services officer sent to her home was male... yet another thing to note, just one of many cultural insensitivities included in this case. But then, ignorance is bliss, and discrimination has become so commonplace that every simply accepts it as a fact of life.

Is it a shame that more liberals do not take personal responsibility and demand justice and sue when necessary? Administrative agencies have become so corrupt, yet people are not willing to appeal their decisions and take their case to a US court if and when necessary. Rich are so corrupt in so many towns, the poor are getting ripped off, if people would take the time out to take it to court, they would not only be doing themselves a favor, they would as well be demanding justice for the next generation. Am I saying I believe in frivolous law suites? Absolutely not, but it is time that poor Americans start standing up to injustices, this our chance, if we don't turn it around now, it may never get turned around. If an employer mistreats you, you need to report it to the labor board, more people need to start unions, that's the only way it's going to get better, and for crying out loud, buy American. We all have a responsibility to ourselves and this country to fix this mess we are in, we cannot depend upon our politicians to do it for us. We need to show them we will fight. Talking on this computer isn't going to do anything unless we are actually educating people as to how to defend themselves. Action, Action must be taken. Sue me to get justice? I am poor, and I am quick to sue, have had it with being railroaded, there are agencies designed to help people. Administrative agencies are a 2 edged sword. But agencies like the labor union help people. If people do not fight, it will just keep getting worse.
Considered living in France? "France Rejects Veiled Muslim Wife" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7503757.stm A French court has denied citizenship to a Muslim woman from Morocco, ruling that her practice of "radical" Islam is not compatible with French values.

I also asked this question over in the Religion and Spirituality section, feel free to pop on over there and have a look at that the general R&S population has to say. I'm guessing it will be rather depressing.
Is it time for average Americans to take a stand against the elite corrupt? Administrative agencies have become so corrupt, yet people are not willing to appeal their decisions and take their case to a US court if and when necessary. Rich are so corrupt in so many towns, the poor are getting ripped off, if people would take the time out to take it to court, they would not only be doing themselves a favor, they would as well be demanding justice for the next generation.

We all have a responsibility to ourselves and this country to fix this mess we are in, we cannot depend upon our politicians to do it for us. We need to show them we will fight. Also, we really need to start buying products made in the USA so companies can see that is what we want so we can create more industrial jobs in the USA. I know its difficult to find labels which say, "made in the USA these days", but if we try our best to buy products made in the USA, it will help support American business. We need to show those who exploit labour in China that we will not support them. Create American jobs, and stop child exploitation in China all at the same time, buy products made in the USA.
How we can stop recurrance of terror attack in the country? Terrorists attacked so many temples in the past and now they have started attacking Muslim's mosque too. It is true that now when mosque is being targeted it stands proved that there is no religion of Terrorists. The main target of Jehadi group is to create panic and divide the society, to generate public annoyance, irritation and reactionary destruction of the property. They always get success and they can perform their devilous task anywhere in the country. They can target police head quarters, assemblies, parliament and any crowded place to cause loss and damage both to human being and properties. They have latest weapon and they develop new techniques of explosion all the time which our even army cannot visualize. They have huge financial strength and hence buy or produce any traditional weapon or even manufacture hitherto unknown mechanism to explode and cause destruction .They are not in lack of knowledge and rather they very much expert in marketing their product of terrorism. They have developed vast network of Jehadi throughout the world particularly in India. They hatch conspiracy to cause explosion, formulate solid strategy for the same and lastly successfully execute the same. Obviously they are great challenge to our political, administrative and military system. Our government especially Home Ministry always declare red alert in particular area where they explode. Our Prime Minister and so-called VIP dignitaries of the country will appeal to people to maintain peace and social harmony. Police will be given signal to have strict vigil on the area where incidents occur and so many other department of investigation will be deployed to find out who is behind the incident whether LeT,or SIMI or Al-Quida or some other group. No need to catch them and hang them. Even if they have been caught by armed forces our leaders plan how to release them with honour and dignity. Or else our own leaders will point accusing finger towards armed forces or police personnel for Human Right Violation. If one terrorist is killed in encounter they will spend crores of rupees whether the killed person was due to fault of police or army. Thousands of innocent person are killed in terror attacks and our leaders will hardly feel of Human right Violation. Anyway there is no stop on recurrence of terror attacks. One more Unique selling feature of our leaders specially Home Ministry is that if any temple is attacked our Home minister will give instruction to state governments to maintain strict vigil on all important temples. If the attack is on assembly in a state our home Minster will advise all state government to ensure security of asseembly.If the attack is on Airport , order will be given for safety and security of all airports. If masjid is under attack they have been impressing upon the states to get in touch with the management of the respective mosques and work out a security plan along with the police. And so on... It is a usual style of functioning of our government. They never bother for whether their instructions are being followed by state government in true spirit or not. Their plan is formulated to counter and give retort to terrorists and ensure peace, safety and security of the nation .But unfortunately none of the plans is given due weightage by state governments, district administration or even police and army personnel. This is why terrorist always succeed in execution of their destructive plans and government invariably fail to stop their (that of terrorists) malicious and devilous activiteis.One after other attacks takes place and I will say government is silent spectator of all misdeeds of terrorists and totally incompetent to fight out the menace of terrorism from the country. It is crystal clear to even layman that management, administration and devotion to target is more effective in the camps of terrorists than that in our administrative offices, police departments, armed forces .Now it is desirable that our government surrenders and invite the groups of terrorists to rule the country formally. Otherwise we will have to outsource our safety and security to some other powerful nation. I would like to mention here our political leaders and most of the officers assigned the task of control, monitoring and execution of our big plans are actually busy in earning money through corrupt practices; accumulate wealth for their forthcoming hundred generations. Right from minister to a peon, all are indulged in malpractices. They hardly get time to go though instructions from higher authorities and neither do they think it fit and moral duty to perform their task. As such all plans in our country miserably fail in the stage of execution. Our leaders are expert in Bhasanwazi and they can very well please their votes during election .But our leaders cannot safeguard our interest; they are incompetent to ensure safety, security and integrity of the nation. It is therefore desirable to outsource our safety to some foreign country.Or else government can call for tender for security from private musclemen,militants,security agencies to provide perfect execution of plans and to provide security to Nation and safeguard us from foreign-sponsored terror attacks.. This will give an added opportunity to ministers, political leaders and administrative officers to earn more and more through demand of certain percentage of the value of such contract as bribe.
Is it ok to apply with 2 different jobs with the same company? I want to apply for two seperate administrative positions within the one company - It's the company I want to work for because it offers the opportunity to pursue several different career avenues, for which i'd like a 'foot in the door'. They are both administrative roles and I would be happy with either one, although one is more appealing that the other.... Is it ok to apply for both? I just recieved news that I am being offered one of there roles, which is great. However, it the the less appealing of the 2 roles - the other role is still being shortlisted. It's in a different section of the company so I'm not sure whether to tell my 'new' boss about it..... What is the best way to approach this? Thanks HR - That's good advice. I need to have system training for the position I have been offered, starting on Monday, so if I find out I am shortlisted for the other position in a couple of weeks, I would feel terrible about leaving this forst position after being trained so I would be inclined to decline it..... But it's really a better job in a different section that I eventually want to get in to. I'm stuck on this one! :-)
Yahoo Answer Violation? I amazingly received a violation today after standing up to someone who was "bad mouthing" Yahoo Answers. My response was extremely professional and was not offensive in the least bit. I know that all it takes to receive a violation is a couple of trolls that report you because they don't like your response. I did appeal the decision and am waiting for a response. I honestly don't think that the administrative staff at Yahoo Answers actually reviews the material they are deleting. My question is, has anyone else out there experienced this? If so, did you win your appeal? If anything you'd think the person who was speaking negatively about Y/A would have their question deleted. It all seems so backwards to me.
Dreadlocks and employment??? I have two jobs, one in a government office as an administrative assistant and one in a restaurant as a server. I REALLY want dreadlocks and have wanted them for years. I already have 2 "hemplocks" that I knot hemp around and decorate with beads. These grow in dreaded and my hair is a VERY good texture for it too. Anybody out there have dreadlocks and a decent job? Could you tell me how you can style your hair to make it more appealing in the workplace too? It's the restaurant job I am most concerned about. Many of our customers are old and have been dining there for years. They get freaked out by my 4 gauge ear plugs and my tongue ring.

What a romantic, exciting moment it was when I received your mail. It may not have been filled with the most erotic or sexy note expressions but it was just what i needed) It was the tonic i was waiting for.....oh t hanks for that.You never know what it means to write to someone and then get a reply for your effort.I am not concerned about your nationality, race, age and religion. Love has not language "Love is a symbol of eternity that wipes away all sense of time, removing all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end." Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age Well I am a happy woman who enjoys life in all its forms. I have a very fulfilling job where I work with amazing people each day. I have a family I adore and who reminds me each time I see them how great life can be. I surround myself with a great group of positive thinking friends who would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them in return. I enjoy being in a crowd at times, but I enjoy spending time with only a few people as well. I love to travel and see new places, so I try to travel as much as I can especially on official duties. I have learned to take life as it happens as I remember everything happens for a reason. My hobbies are reading, watching movies, swimming, listening to music and traveling. "The essential sadness is to go through life without loving. But it would be almost equally sad to leave this world without ever telling those you loved that you love them. "Sometimes the one thing you are looking for; is the one thing you can't see." The type of man who attracts me is honest, direct, and reliable - who can be my "pal". I like a man who's playful one minute, and philosophical the next. Above all, companionship, honesty, and idealism appeal to me - and a sense of humor! My ideal partner is a very passionate person who knows how to fully enjoy life. has a highly active imagination when it comes to trying new things. More than most people, he knows how to value the pleasures of romance and is not afraid to pursue those feelings when the timing is right. He also has a strong intellect, with a penetrating thought process and a continual curiosity about the world around him. I like treating my partner well and also like to be treated as one. My instincts tells me you have all this qualities in you,you are welcome to my world and I will be expecting more of your mails.I will send you my photograph in my next mail.I am hoping to hear from you.

If I am the prevailing party and paperwork sent back on remand due to admistrative errors, do I win my case? The US Court of Veterans Appeal's Secretary of Veterans Affairs, along with my attorney send my case back on remand after giving VA a 30 day stay, then a joint motion for remand. It states that there was administrative error on VA's part. Am I gonna get my benefits? No I was denied through VA so it was sent to the US District Court of Veterans Appeals. The VA Secretary and my attorney both agree that there was an administrative error on VA part. They did a stay - no response from VA, they did another stay - no response from VA, then they did a remand on VA's decision and mandated it. On the paperwork it says that I am the prevailing party, so my attorney is now asking VA for his payment because I am the prevailing party. DO I GET PAID? It says that I am due some type of award. I'm just a little confused.
Do I have to notify my employer that I filed for unemployment...? Please Help! My boss just moved out of state (6 hours away) which would lead me to think that I have lost my job...right? However,since it is a small company-somwhat family based, they are not giving me a straight answer when I say "is today my last day?" They are beating around the bush and I realize why, if they hire a new person to replace me and that person doesn't work out, they want to be able to keep me stringing along so that they aren't left without anyone. Also....since I am an administrative asst for them, they tried offering me a job from home. What person would turn this down right? Wrong! My boss tried telling me that I could do a slightly different form of my job at home,since I wouldn't be able to drive to the office answering phones and what not. This new job offer that they are asking me to do, doesn't appeal to me whatsoever and quite frankly,I don't see how it could work even with the internet. So I filed for unemployment, should I tell them that I did? Please help
