You REALLY, REALLY ought to understand the damage that Common Core could do to our students and our country------Common Core Even Affects Letter Grades

Common Core Even Affects Letter Grades | Heartlander Magazine:
"National curriculum mandates are influencing schools across the country in myriad ways, big and small.
One not-so-obvious change is that Common Core standards can influence how teachers grade student work."
...New quarterly report cards were initially eight pages long, but the committee pared that down to one double-sided page.
Now K-8 students are graded M for mastery, P for progression, and L for learning.
“Kids were more excited when I told them they got an A-plus, or a B.
They know that’s pretty good,” Happel said.
“But when you give them a P or M they don’t know what that means.”

Girl selling mistletoe for straighter smile is shut down — here’s why | Rare
Those of us familiar with orthodontia know braces aren’t cheap, which is exactly why an 11-year-old Oregon girl decided to sell mistletoe this Christmas season: to help her father with the expense.
But Madison Root’s entrepreneurial endeavor didn’t get any love from city officials Saturday when she went to her local market to sell her bags of freshly handpicked mistletoe wrapped on her uncle’s Oregon farm, reports ABC.
A security guard hired to oversee the public marketplace, however, instructed Madison to stop selling her berry-tipped greenery citing city rules that require vendors have documented approval to sell their goods.

Madison, in an interview with CBS 12 News, pointed out the irony in the situation as a vendor right next to her at the open-air market was peddling signs asking “Got Pot?”

“They’re raising money for pot, and I’m selling mistletoe.”

And, though she was told she could solicit donations without documentation, Madison said she would rather earn her braces.
“I don’t want to beg,” she said. “I would rather work for something than beg.”

Mistletoe orders have snowballed since news of the story broke Sunday, Breitbart reports. 

And, as of Monday, Madison has been sporting her new braces.

Shock! Some women lie! ------Trial next for Michigan woman accused of false rape report

Trial next for Michigan woman accused of false rape report | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"A woman accused of filing a false report of rape and tampering with evidence is going to trial in St. Clair County.
Sara Ylen is charged with lying about a sexual assault at her Lexington home last year and using makeup to create what looked like bruises.
Trial is scheduled to start today in Port Huron.
In a different case in Sanilac County, Ylen is charged with fraud.
She's accused of deceiving a hospice service and many supporters into believing she had cancer. Fundraisers were held for Ylen.
Ylen is well-known in Michigan's Thumb because she talked publicly about being a rape victim after a jury in 2003 convicted a man of sexually assaulting her. 
James Grissom served about a decade in prison before his conviction was overturned."

As our president takes his cues from Havana and Sacramento----Venezuela Plunges Into Darkness As President Maduro Lays Out Socialist Vision On National TV

Venezuela Plunges Into Darkness As President Maduro Lays Out Socialist Vision On National TV | Zero Hedge:
"A mere two months after the last widespread blackout to hit Venezuela, major parts of the nation are once again dark tonight as a power outage hit during President Maduro's evening address laying out his new economic philosophy (the inverse of Bernanke's):

*MADURO SAYS VENEZUELANS MUST SAVE MORE, CONSUME LESS
The blackoutt has affected some of the nation's oil refineries (even though they are often powered by separate generator plants).

Maduro himself said this evening's blackout cause was "strange," hinting at "sabotage" and not caused by excess demand (since the same substation that was sabotaged in September has failed).
Perhaps it is time to spend what little discretionary reserves the nation has left on infrastructure instead of Samsung trinkets and military bonuses to keep the people at bay."

Articles: New study from China helps to prove the Abortion-Breast Cancer Link:
"In the US we are used to abortion advocates claiming that the risk of elective abortion is relatively trivial, and major medical organizations denying any link between abortion and breast cancer.
Now a powerful new study from China published last week by Yubei Huang and colleagues suggests otherwise.

Maybe just a glitch. Or maybe treasury buys are sittin' on the sidelines-------Auction System Failure Forces US Treasury To Postpone 3, 6-Month Bill Auctions

Auction System Failure Forces US Treasury To Postpone 3, 6-Month Bill Auctions | Zero Hedge:
"While nobody is impressed by breaking equity and options markets anymore, since this has become a virtually daily ocurrence and the habituation level is high, bond markets, and especially the US government's "guaranteed" bond issuance machinery, are a different matter altogether. 
Which is why any time something out of the ordinary happens, people pay attention.
Such as what happened moments ago when the US Treasury announced that it would delay the closing of the 3 and 6 month Bill auctions, originally scheduled to close today, to tomorrow.

The reason: "an error that occurred during a test of Treasury's auction system."

This is curious, as it implies there was a test of the system running concurrent with the actual bond auction. One wonders if instead of the stated reason, there simply wasn't yet another "glitch" with TAAPS, which as we reported in September, had an error due to an order by none other than Goldman Sachs, being stuck in the quere, for reasons unknown resulting in yet another abnormal 3 and 6 month Bill auction."

Watch out folks, the taxman (and his trusty sidekick Ms. Spend-it-all) is comin' again! -----Muskegon County-wide technology millage proposal will be on Feb. 25 ballot

Hmmm, I think I can do that one in my head:

"$43 million per year "

10 years.

So you are telling us they're gonna take almost half a billion dollars, $430,000,000, from the taxpayers of Muskegon county and give to people to spend it on really-really-important-stuff-that-they-promise-will-make-kids-smart?!!!

And safe!!!

What greedy monster could possibly be against that.

The sad reality is that even though this is (it should read $43million...I hope!) a mistake, it wouldn't surprise me if it was really $430 MILLION.

Whatever the amount, taking more millions of hard earned dollars from the families and businesses of Muskegon and giving it to unaccountable bureaucrats with the same old promises, the same old lack of public accountability, is a bad idea.

Muskegon County-wide technology millage proposal will be on Feb. 25 ballot | MLive.com:

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI -- It's official: Muskegon County voters will be asked in February to approve a county-wide tax increase to fund school technology and security improvements.

...The 10-year millage would raise an estimated $43 million per year, which would be distributed to the 11 traditional school districts on a per-pupil basis. It's estimated that schools would receive about $164 per student.

.......The millage would cost the owners of a home with a market value of $90,000, and a taxable value of $45,000, an additional $45 in property tax per year.

Nixon vs Obama

Our government at war with its citizens-Why will Obama make it illegal to pay bone-marrow donors?

But Obama wants to force blood banks to pay for blood from homosexuals with high risk lifestyles.
Why it's OK to pay bone-marrow donors - Health - AEI:
"Now comes the bad news.
On Oct. 2, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule that would overturn the Ninth Circuit’s decision.
The government proposes designating a specific form of bone marrow -- circulating bone-marrow stem cells derived from blood -- as a kind of donation that, under the 1984 National Organ Transplant Act, cannot be compensated. 
If this rule goes into effect (the public comment period ends today), anyone who pays another person for donating these cells would be subject to as much as five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
The problem with this rule is that donating bone marrow is not like donating an essential organ. 
Indeed, the Ninth Circuit based its decision on the fact that modern bone-marrow procurement, a process known as apheresis, is more akin to drawing blood. "

"Across Michigan, hundreds of thousands of residents who may be eligible for the state’s Medicaid expansion remain in frustrating, bureaucratic limbo — one that could push arguably affordable coverage out of their reach if they don’t get answers soon.

But for many, it could be too late to access tax credits now to make policies more affordable on the Michigan Health Insurance Marketplace, or state exchange."

What Is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act?

What Is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act? | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy

Say that you feel a religious obligation to use a prohibited drug — hoasca (the drug at issue in Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal (2006)), peyote, marijuana, or LSD.

Or say that you’re a landlord who feels a religious obligation not to rent to unmarried couples (or same-sex couples), even though state law bars marital status discrimination or sexual orientation discrimination in housing.

Or say that you feel a religious obligation to help someone commit suicide, in violation of state law — or areligious obligation not to testify against your parent, your child, or a coreligionist, even when you have a legal duty to do so.

Should you be entitled to an exemption from the generally applicable law, because of your religious beliefs? Or should the government be free to apply the law to you just as it does to others?

Until about 1960 (more or less), the rule was what one might call the statute-by-statute exemption model — religious objectors got exemptions if and only if the statute provided for one, as, for instance, draft law historically had. Judges got into the act only insofar as they created common-law exemptions from judge-made common-law rules, and these exemptions were trumpable by statute. The clergy-penitent privilege, which is an exception from the duty to testify, was one example.

But then in Braunfeld v. Brown (1961) the Supreme Court seemed to suggest that the Free Exercise Clause might sometimes constitutionally mandate exemptions.
