We received this blurb in our daily bulletin. It’s from an opinion piece disagreeing with another teacher who said that too many students are being pushed into AP courses when really that type of work may be too hard for the student.

Maybe you missed it, but where there’s $1 Billion, why wouldn’t there be greed?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A $1 billion reading program that is a key part of the Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind education law was mismanaged and rife with conflicts of interest, according to an internal audit released on Friday.
For the rest of [...]

The results from last Saturday’s marathon were posted today, and I actually did better than I thought. Here’s the stuff:
Time: 3:53:38 (17th Place overall… 74 finishers).
As it stands, the RD is unsure about the race next year, which is kind of a bummer because I think it is at a great time in the season [...]

Decided to start the training for Columbus today, so I had a 3-miler in the rain. Legs were stiff and sore at first, but by the time I crossed Main by the college, things felt fine.
Hal has some things to say about running more that one marathon in a year and I think the interim [...]

Lake City Marathon was a nice race…got to see a lot of Warsaw that I didn’t know existed (though I lived in the area for 5 years). My 1/2 marathon split was around 1:45 and then Mile 17 hit (my leg, that is) and I ran/walked for the next 6 miles until I decided to [...]

We’re watching What No to Wear and getting ready for bed after a really pleasant pasta dinner from the folk of the Lake City Marathon (the boys really liked the cake). Starting time is 7 a.m. and I hope to write nice things about the race.
Peace.

In case you didn’t find it elsewhere (and you have a video iPod), you can play video content (and your pictures) on your television with a regular video camera single jack to television cord. The key is in the color match up: Red goes to the video input on your television and the other two [...]

I just got my email from Apple saying that in 30 days my account will automatically renew. This has been a year of Mac diehards getting a bit testy (and perhaps that number was small, but quite digged). So, should I pay the $99 for the email address (I do really like it: cjudson), the [...]

Saturday’s 8 miles went without incident…listened to Wait, wait…don’t tell me and the beginning of This American Life “Americans in Paris” (starts with a piece about David Sedaris). Nice weather and really not much to write about. So, now it’s time to gear up for Saturday’s 26.2 miles and honestly, I haven’t the foggiest idear [...]

In the “catch-up-after-a-few-weeks” department of excuses:
Last week’s 12-miler went fine; did the CR32 to CR11 and back route and the run was nice. No, “oops, I pulled it again” business this time. This week I ran twice: a 3-miler and some Lassos (3 bookended by mile there and back). Tomorrow is 8 miles and I’ll [...]
