WASHINGTON — In a proposed change to the No Child Left Behind law, the Obama administration would require states to adopt new academic standards to qualify for federal money from a $14 billion program that concentrates on impoverished students, the White House said Sunday. The proposal, part of the NBA Jerseysadministration’s recommendations for a Congressional overhaul of the law, would require states to adopt “college- and career-ready standards” in reading and mathematics. The current law, signed by President George W. Bush in 2002, requires states to adopt “challenging academic standards” in reading and math to receive federal money for poor students under the program known as Title I, but leaves it up to states to decide what qualifies as “challenging.” The result was that states set their standards at widely varied levels, some as rigorous as those used in high-performing countries like Japan, but others at far lower levels that lay out at best, mediocre expectations for their students. “Because economic progress and Jerseyseducational achievement go hand in hand, educating every American student to graduate prepared for college and success in a new work force is a national imperative,” the White House said in a statement. “Meeting this challenge requires that state standards reflect a level of teaching and learning needed for students to graduate ready for success in college and careers.” President Obama was scheduled to announce the proposal in a meeting on Monday with governors who are gathered in Washington for the annual winter meeting of the National Governors Association. Since last year, 48 states have been collaborating to write common standards in math and reading, coordinated by the governors’ group and with the encouragement of the White House. Texas and Alaska decided not to participate in that state-led effort. The common-standards effort has produced a draft, and earlier this month Kentucky became the first state to approve the substitution of the new standards for the state’s own standards in the two subjects. How successful or quicklyNBA jordan Jerseys the governors, legislatures, state boards of education and other authorities in other states will be in agreeing on adoption of the new standards is not clear. “In better aligning the law to support college- and career-ready standards,” the White House statement said, its proposed rewrite of the No Child Left Behind law would “require all states to adopt and certify that they have college- and career-ready standards which may include common standards developed by a state-led consortium, as a condition of qualifying for Title I funding.” The four Democratic and Republican leaders of the House education committee announced last week that they were working together on the latest overhaul of the law. In its 2011 Cheap NBA Jerseysbudget request earlier this month, the White House said it hoped to replace the law’s much-criticized school rating system, known as adequate yearly progress, with a new accountability system.

As British troops count the hours until the startWholesale NBA Jerseys of the largest Nato offensive since the US-led invasion of 2001, Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand province, is witnessing the arrival of a grim procession of frightened refugees desperate to escape the battle. Nato forces have urged civilians to flee Marjah — one of the most heavily populated parts of rural Helmand — as more than 15,000 British, Afghan and American troops make their final preparations for Operation Moshtarak — “Togetherness”. However, refugees reaching the city have claimed that as much as 90 per cent of the population are trapped in the war zone by belts of improvised bombs, which have rendered the road network impassable. With his two-year-old son clasped to his chest, Haji Mohammed Manan said yesterday that he had walked eight hours through flooded opium fields with his wife and seven children to avoid the danger on the roads. “During the day and duringCheap NBA Jerseys the night, the Taleban are laying landmines everywhere,” Mr Manan said. “We had no choice. We had to walk through the water.” Western commanders have taken the unusual decision to publicise the impending operation to give civilians the chance to leave the area. While commanders expect advancing troops to face thousands of roadside bombs, less clear is whether the Taleban will fight or, more likely, melt away and mount a guerrilla war. “What we are seeking to do is to make sure people are safe. That’s why we’ve gone out of our way to explain what we were trying to do and when we were going to do it,” Brigadier James Cowan, the commander of British Forces in Helmand, said yesterday. Afghan officials said that bombs and booby traps would slow the advance into Marjah and that the initial push could be expected to last about three weeks. Gulab Mangal, the governor of Helmand, has broadcast to people in the district advising them to stay away from Taleban positions if they cannot escape the area entirely. Daoud Ahmadi, the governor’sNBA jordan Jerseys spokesman, said: “The Taleban have laid lots of landmines, making it difficult for people to leave. We have to clear the landmines. Then we have to be careful about the civilians.” Marjah was originally reclaimed from the desert by American engineers who built irrigation canals as part of an aid project in the 1950s. The terrain, accessed by narrow tracks and criss-crossed with deep ditches, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. One local journalist based in Lashkar Gah told The Times that a mood of pessimism and apprehension reigned among local people, despite Nato’s concerted effort in recent months to avoid civilian casualties. “The Nato forces go to an area and drive out the Taleban. A few weeks later they are back and the fighting goes on,” he said, declining to be named. “The proportion of people who think that the foreignJerseys forces are good is very small.” A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross said that its staff had already given emergency aid to 600 displaced families in Lashkar Gah last week, and it was planning to help 420 families this week. So far, in what commanders refer to as a “shaping operation” before the start of the main offensive, British and US troops have mounted probing attacks around Marjah from more securely held territory in Nad Ali.

Counting those who involuntarily have only part-time work and those who would like a job but have stopped looking, the "underemployment" rate is 17.5 percent, another postwar peak. (Click here to follow Robert Samuelson). The White House jobs "summit" Thursday will try to revive employment growth, but it will be a hard slog. Job creation is fundamentally a private-sector process, and the private economy is experiencing a broad retreat from credit-driven spending. Mark Zandi of Moody's Economy.com reports this astonishing figure: since last spring, the number of bank credit cards has dropped 100 million, about 25 percent. Banks are tightening credit standards (partly in reaction to new credit-card legislation designed to protect borrowers from rate increases) and consumers are canceling cards.

Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, October 8, 2009 A lone cross built to honor the dead of World War I, bolted to a desert rock on public land, raises a host of complicated issues about which religious displays violate the Constitution's ban on government establishment of religion and who may challenge them. But the Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed disinclined to answer most of them. The justices spent nearly half of the oral argument in the casejordan 6 ring deciding what they were deciding about the 6 1/2 -foot cross in the Mojave National Preserve and appeared to settle on a rather narrow question: whether Congress had the right idea for solving the problem by trying to transfer the land on which the cross sits to private ownership. There was no obvious agreement on the answer. Solicitor General Elena Kagan told the justices that lawmakers did the best they could in 2004 to preserve the memorial built by veterans more than 75 years ago and to abide by the decision of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that a cross on public land is unconstitutional. "Congress had a choice," Kagan said. "And the choice was to take down that memorial, which meant an enormous amount to veterans in the community, or to completely dissociate the government from that memorial. And what Congress did was to completely dissociate the government from that memorial." But Peter J. Eliasberg, representing the American Civil Liberties Union, said Congress, in fact, did the opposite: It designated the site a national memorial, putting it in the same rarified category as the Washington Monument and Mount Rushmore. It turned the land over to the Veterans of Foreignnike air jordan 3.5 Wars, whose members first built the cross in the 1930s, rather than put it up for bid. And it said that if the site is ever not used as a memorial, the land reverts to the federal government. The appeals court disallowed the transfer. The government "has made a significant number of affirmative steps to ensure that the cross remains up," Eliasberg said, in the face of the lower court's decision that it must come down. The case was the first major opportunity for the court under Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. to delve into the meaning of the First Amendment command that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Previous court rulings on religious displays have been narrow and case-specific, producing a gauzy jurisprudence with few bright-line rules on who may challenge government actions or exactly what violates the Establishment Clause. Justices Wednesday seemed uninterested in reviewing the lower court's decision, which found that a former park superintendent who objects to religious displays on public land isnike air jordan2.5 entitled to bring the lawsuit. And only Justice Antonin Scalia seemed to want to decide the more basic question of whether the cross was unconstitutional in the first place. He had a testy exchange with Eliasberg about whether the symbol -- which the lawyer said "signifies that Jesus is the son of God and died to redeem mankind for our sins" -- could also double as a secular marker for the war dead of all faiths.
