http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/ Locked in an eternal embrace {Begin Quote} Yesterday at {End Quote} Maybe this is what the Intelligent Designer had in mind for us all. I don’t know why but this story touched me. I hope that after they do all the stupid tests, they return them to their original state. Sorta seems fitting to this injineers. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. I just found this strangely inspiring. Like an insight into an eternal truth. What you take away from it, I leave to you. Maybe Olds-Hiemer’s is setting in. |

JNEWS: Burke, Burke looks back
on honor of school named after him "He was an
extremely hard worker, dedicated to the job and the community," said Enright. "He's a wonderful guy." When Burke, who
spent 33 years in the district, retired in 2000, he received an honor that he
said still "humbles and overwhelms" him. More than six
years ago, the district's school board decided to name the high school
building, which is home to about 600 students, the Nanuet has a long
tradition of naming schools in memory of well-respected educators and
administrators in the district. Its lower elementary school is named for
former principal George W. Miller, and its middle school is named for former
superintendent A. MacArthur Barr Burke said he was
"absolutely shocked" when he was told at his retirement dinner that
the school would bear his name. "I still
think that was the best-kept secret," he said. "It was completely
unexpected, but deeply appreciated." A native of the
Bronx, Burke earned his undergraduate degree at He came to Nanuet
in 1967 as business education teacher, but, within a few years, he was
appointed principal. "I think it
was the greatest place in the world to be a principal," Burke said.
"The students, parents and faculty were really a supportive
community." Burke had a great
sense of connection with the student body during his tenure, Enright said. "He really
cared for the youngsters and always had the students' best interest in mind
when he made decisions." Burke, a father
of six children and grandfather of 11, recently decided to devote his
retirement to more than leisure activities. In 2006, the 66-year-old was
elected supervisor of the town of Burke said
serving in an elected position was similar to his job as a principal.
"It's challenging, interesting work that is really all about dealing
with different people, which I love" he said. "I have truly been
very fortunate in my career." ### |

And, his section of the fabric represents what many Yankees fans consider a more fun time than the present day. I enjoyed watching Girard. I hope the Yankees acknowledge his legacy, in some form, during Old-Timer’s Day this season. It would be nice for the fans to be able to cheer for him one last time. Posted by Comments Thanks to Mr. Girard for his contribution. Slightly related, as I expect the media/reporters to be held accountable for every word they say, I’m curious why Newsday’s Yankee beat writer is now Kat O’Brien, formerly of the Ft. Worth S-T, as opposed to Jim Baumbach. I’m happy O’Brien got the job, it was well deserved. But I’m just curious to know what happened to Baumbach. I was 50-50 about him, just wondered. Posted by: susanmullen at March 27, 2007 08:56 PM Baumbach is still with Newsday - he has a regular column now, where, IIRC, he can write about whatever he wants. He mentioned it in his last blog entry before Kat took over. Posted by: ***End Quote*** Some kind words about our recently deceased fellow alum. ### |

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig3/leclair1.html Home Education vs. Public Education {Begin Quote} Scholastic education aside, what about moral education? Public schools are teaching high schoolers proper condom usage, while staying away from such alternatives as chastity. Pro-homosexuality and anti-gun sentiments are being hurrahed in schools, yet prayer is banned. School nurses tell parents that children are not required to receive permission before obtaining abortion referrals through the school. Any aspect of moral education has been wiped out and replaced with an "if it feels good, do it" mentality. As a result, the rebellious attitude and scholastic disinterest of today’s youth are fostered by a permissive and indulgent educational system. {End Quote} The Communist Manifesto wanted to indoctrinate the youth
into the worship of the State. It has certainly worked here. Even some of our
fellow Jaspers having fallen prey to the disease. ( |
