...forward not to get an update on where we are but to move the district forward to address needs that are not currently met.” Nolan’s son, who is in middle school, currently takes geometry at the high school—an option she heard about only through hearsay. Nolan and other committee members said this should not be the case. “We need something institutionalized for kids who would benefit from an advanced math curriculum,” said committee member Marc C. McGovern. Nolan said that many parents of children...
...Tuesday, Barack Obama uttered three words seldom heard in Washington: “I screwed up.” Yet following the implication of a third high-level White House appointee in income tax arrears, the president isn’t the only one who should be issuing mea culpas. Earlier this week, heath and human services secretary pick Tom Daschle became the second of Obama’s nominees to withdraw his name from consideration because of tax problems.

...third intended recipient of the North's recent bellicosity, analysts believe, is the most important: the new Obama Administration in Washington. Pyongyang has watched President Obama come in and quickly appoint special envoys to three critical trouble spots: the Middle East, Iran and Pakistan-Afghanistan-India. They further heard new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton give measured testimony about the North during her confirmation hearings. She reiterated that "sincere dialogue" with the North can come only after the nuclear issue has once and for all been put to bed - that is to say, when the North verifiably demonstrates that...
