Obama wins Maine Democratic caucus
Organizers had expected heavy participation at the caucuses, but snow was falling and gusting winds hit as many of the gatherings were scheduled. The weather didn't appear to have hurt turnout. Caucuses started late in Bangor and several other locations across the state because so many people showed up that they were lined up outside the doors. In Maine's largest city, Democrats carrying “Obama" and “Hillary" signs waited to get into the citywide caucus at Portland High School in separate lines that snaked nearly three city blocks in opposite directions. Colin Johnson, an Obama supporter in Portland, said the Illinois senator is not a typical politician. “I'm convinced he's a once-in-a-generation leader," he said. “He's young and energetic and Washington and the White House could benefit from some fresh air," said Joe Lewis, another Obama supporter.
Editorial: ‘Gifted’ funds lost in space
Since 1995 as I have a memorandumm dated that far back, this district never intended to nor will it ever be truthful about funding and services. The memorandum clearly stated that a program for gifted will be set in place in the district. As of yet I see no concentrated effort to do so or do I see any Board member challenging the lack thereof. You cannot follow the money here. Everthing is posted per line item.but where it goes only the staff knows. Now you all know you have been lied to repeatedly and the only thing they have done was created a bigger,bloated bureaucracy by hiring all those gifted coordinators to appease the parents. So now they will tell you there is no money left. More lies. They are trying to force gifted into the defunct I B program or the AP program. If gifted were that simple there would not be a separate funding for them.
Attenborough takes on reptiles in Life in Cold Blood
He can lie down and talk in every habitat known to nature. In addition, he is a continuity girl’s favourite performer. Not only does he wear the same short-sleeved blue shirt and pale chinos in every shot, he has worn them in every shot of every programme for 50 years. There are tortoises with bigger wardrobes. Now, the first thing everyone on television tells you about snakes is that they’re not slimy and cold. In fact, they’re silky and soft and cuddly and shyly flirtatious, have a dry wit and are good with children and old people. Oddly, if you ever visit a country where large poisonous snakes visit the natives, you’ll notice the indigenous humans are invariably terrified into screaming abdabs by the mere mention of them, and simply can’t kill them fast enough.
