NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Discovers Tucked-in Glaciers
November 20, 2008
Image credit: NASA/JPL
Artist concept of glacier on Mars.
NASA scientists believe they have a solution to how the gently sloping areas that occur at the bases of taller geographical features formed. These aprons consist of blankets of rocky debris protecting massive glaciers of water ice.
John W. Holt of the University of Texas at Austin, who is lead author of the report said, "altogether, these glaciers almost certainly represent the largest reservoir of water ice on Mars that is not in the polar caps. Just one of the features we examined is three times larger than the city of Los Angeles and up to one-half-mile thick. And there are many more. In addition to their scientific value, they could be a source of water to support future exploration of Mars."

It begins with the Origins and then embarks upon a journey through the world of the tree and the trees of the world.

The Cold War and the space race make up the background. Belgian competition full-length film Au-delà des icebergs Belgian competition full-length film Battles Isabelle Tollenaere A bomb, a bunker, a tank, a soldier – four archetypes of warfare lead us chapter by chapter to places in Europe where conflicts have occurred in the recent past.

Conflict seems to be near, then far off again, but always absurd. Belgian competition full-length film Battles Belgian panorama Before We Go Jorge León Brussels, La Monnaie Opera House. Three people near the end of their lives meet with choreographers, actors and musicians. They take part in a unique experience which involves music, dance and silence. Their journey becomes a tribute to the fragility of the human condition, between reality and representation, tragedy of the body and freedom of the spirit. Together they question their own relationship with death. Belgian panorama Before We Go Belgian panorama Birobidjan Guy-Marc Hinant In 1934, Stalin created an independent state for communist Jews from the Soviet Union and around the world. Families migrated from Ukraine, France, Brooklyn… After the purges and auto-da-fés of the 20th century, what is left of this country, its culture, and its language is teetering on the edge of oblivion. This is a darkly intimate portrait of Birobidjan, almost like an inventory prior to this community's disappearance.

We hear Akerman's reflections on her own work and method, as well as the influence of directors such as Jonas Mekas and Michael Snow, her relation with Proust's novel which she adapted in La Captive (2000), and her failed attempt to venture into more commercial filmmaking. Even if she does not always satisfy the curiosity of her interviewers, Akerman shows herself in her idiosyncrasy, whether that means lighting a cigarette in a non-smoking building, or assessing the errors and successes of her filmography.

From the United States to Japan, he walked around with his camera in places where every word has meaning, meeting Hellenists, logicians, politicians, artists, and later confronting their messages in the memories of film libraries. Filmer à tout prix and Scam present a special screening during the course of which one may view the first four episodes of this documentary series by Chris Marker. Symposium, or ideas received. In Paris, Tbilissi, Athens, and Berkeley, historians play along in the reconstruction of the "symposium," or Greek banquet, around tables garnished with dishes and wine. In this first section and sometimes in those that follow, their meandering conversation explores various themes and ties together, over the course of their digressions, isolated ideas. 2. Olympism, or the imaginary Greece. Greek heritage, reconstructed in the contemporary imagination, has sometimes given rise to terrible diversions that benefit totalitarian ideologies like Nazism. The 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin are, in this respect, symbolic, and in the representation of the body in "Olympia" by Leni Riefensthal, we witness the recuperation of an ideal for the benefit of a whole other aesthetic. 3. Democracy, or the city-state of daydreams. What, precisely, does the word "democracy" cover when it designates the ancient city-state or our contemporary political systems? What are the analogies or, on the other hand, the radical differences between realities separated by more than twenty years? Are certain functions appropriate to all civilizations? 4. Nostalgia, or the impossible return. Ithaca, symbol of the faraway fatherland that one must never forget — such is the universal teaching of The Odyssesy by Homer. Which ties could also be forged between a modern Greece which has been tormented, over history, by many exiles; and the ancient Greece, which all humanity claims as their heritage? For Vassilikos, Ionatos and Svoronos, the word that defines Greeks the best is "nostalgia".

Had a wonderful experience with Autoright Motors. Anthony and Tom were a joy to work with. I never felt pressured. I felt informed and like I was talking to a friend. Since my purchase was just in the past two weeks (so, during COVID-19), they were committed to deliver as safe an experience as possible. They answered all my questions and deliver my car the same day. Anthony wore a mask and gloves and was very mindful of distancing and safety. This was a very hectic time in my life, and they made it just a little bit easier. I LOVE the car!
Tom and Conor both contacted me regarding a Honda Element I was interested in at their lot. I called and had a conversation with Conor, and he was super cool. Very helpful, very kind. It's kind of rare to have a normal, casual-feeling conversation with an auto salesperson, but that's what it was like. Thanks for the help, and it was great talking with you.
Great things to say about Autoright motors! They worked hard to help me purchase my first car as a student, and negotiated a great deal to meet my budget. I highly recommend working with Greg who was fantastic! I trust the quality of vehicles they sell as they go through an intense inspection process. I will definitely be back down the road! Thank you Autoright Motors!

Conor and Tom were wonderful in getting me a used Hyundai and helping through a tough situation. 100% recommend shopping with them it was easy no pressure friendly service.
I was contacted within the hour. The car was clean and pulled up and ready for a test drive. The dealer went above and beyond and showed me everything the car could do! This is my first luxury car and I was really appreciative of his time and intelligence shared with me. He made me feel safe and relaxed and it was a joyful car buying experience. The following day I went in and was out in 30 minutes after signing all the paperwork. He managed to find me an even greater interest rate than I could find by far! I would definitely recommend this lot and Conor for any car purchase. Great lot with great people.
They emailed me, I have not been able to go look at this vehicle
I bought a 2012 vw Touareg today from Greg Holmes and it was the best and easiest car buying experience I've ever had and I've owed over twenty cars. Greg was friendly and honest about everything about the car and had paperwork to back it up. He had a couple of his co-workers helping out because he had several customers at the same time and they were great to. I highly recommend checking these guys out if your in the market for a good used car.. thanks again to Greg and Auto Right Motors
Purchased 2014 Passat and it is absolutely amazing vehicle but that's the less important aspect of it all. Connor has helped us and guided through entire car buying process which by the way took less than 30 min on less than acceptable credit. Cannot even describe how good it is to be regarded with such respect and regard at Dealership. We love our new vehicle and we love being part of Lee Johnson family and will be customers for life.Do yourself a favor on next vehicle purchase and go to Lee Johnson/ Autoright. You will see difference !!!
I visited Autoright Motors twice, while looking for a car for my son, and took several of their cars for a test drive. Todd listened to me as I explained what I was looking for and never pressured me at any time. I finally found a car that was a great shape and drove beautifully. As with any used car purchase, it is buyer beware so know what to look for to minimize the risk. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed on the car I selected and the mechanic found the car to be immaculate aside from recommending a new set of spark plugs in the near future. The car was missing the owner's manual but Todd assured me that he would be able to get one for me. Now that is customer service!I was able to negotiate the purchase at very fair price and completing the paperwork to purchase the car probably took less than an hour. I have purchased several cars and this transaction was the easiest by far. No pressure and friendly staff. So far, my son and I are pleased with the purchase.
We had a great experience at Autoright Motors. John Shoaf, normally the Finance guy, was professional, honest and very helpful. We were pleased that he didn't give us a hard-sell technique. We felt confident doing business with him and Autoright Motors. We are really enjoying our new car, too!
Very professional and I honestly got a great deal. The salesman went out of his way to accommodate me in the buying process. I will definitely be referring them to family and friends. What a great dealership!
I purchased a 2007 Toyota Yaris two months ago from Autoright. Autoright was great, except for one pretty major problem that I had with the car. The people who work there are extremely friendly and made buying the car an easy and refreshing experience. They assured us that all of their cars go through a comprehensive screening to make sure they are fully functional and safe--paired with the kindness and trustworthiness of the sales people, it seemed that this testing would ensure that I would get a vehicle that would be in very good condition and ready to drive. I was slightly dissatisfied with the price I paid for it--about $1,000 more than the Kelley Blue Book estimated value, but they said that they were not willing to go any lower because of the popularity of this particular make and model. My main complaint, however, is that Autoright's "comprehensive" analysis did not properly screen the safety of the tires on my car. Because the tread looked deep enough, they assumed that the tires were fine--however, two weeks later we found out that someone had deliberately put old tires on the car that looked like they were in okay shape. One of my rear tires (which we found out was from the 90's, over 10 years older than the car itself) blew out violently while I was driving on the highway on a road trip 17 days after I purchased the vehicle from Autoright. All three of the other tires were also older than the car. As a result of this oversight, after only 17 days of owning the car, I lost one of my hubcaps, permanently damaged my tire rim from the impact of the road, was put in a dangerous situation due to the blow out causing me to fishtail and almost lose control on the highway, and had to pay for four new tires. When I came in a few weeks later to get my license plates, I told the people at Autoright what had happened and tried to give them feedback that perhaps they might want to include checking the tire years as part of their safety analysis, but they brushed it off as a freak accident. Sure, I completely agree and understand that sometimes tires blow out for unknown reasons that are difficult to predict, but it seems like it could have very easily been avoided, in this case, by checking the years of the tires. The people at the Les Schwab who replaced the tires told us that the tire from the 90's was a ticking time bomb, and that it would be very ill-advised to continue driving on the three other old tires.Though I had a great experience with the people at Autoright and I'm sure they didn't intend to overlook this defect, it does make me wonder and worry what else they might have missed.
Great response and follow up.
It was a pretty good experience; salesman had everything ready when I showed up to buy the car after giving us the time to test drive it and offered no pressure when we left to think about it. Only complaint I have now is it only came with one key and I am still waiting to see if the second was found. I would have negotiated a second key if I had known before hand that they didn't have both.
Great experience buying my new to me 2013 lancer sportback. Anthony was my salesman. he and his team were great throughout the whole car purchasing experience. Will definitely go and talk to them if I'm ever I the market again. 👍
We had a great experience with Tom and Anthony. The prices on their cars are more than reasonable according to Kelly Blue Book, so we felt good about the price. The cars were in showroom condition. We were given a free carfax report. We had plenty of opportunity to test drive and check out every detail of the cars we were interested in. Anthony was super helpful answering all of our questions. We were offered all of the things, insurance, financing, etc. But nothing pushy or uncomfortable...we said no thank you, and moved right along. They took our trade in at a fair price, and were fast with the paperwork once we made a choice. We would highly recommend Autoright Motors. We'll be back in the future when we are in the market for another used car.
Anthony and Tom were amazing. Great guys easy going no pressure honest and the simplest and easiest car deal I have ever done. They had the exact truck I wanted lots of other options to compare the truck with and gave a very fair price for trade. Highly recommend this spot.
Autoright made my car purchase easy. Anthony provided a comfortable and fun experience. He let these car speak for itself and provided us with the no nonsense approach we were looking for. I'm really pleased with my purchase.
I would definitely recommend buying a car from these guys. I came from out of state to buy the Camaro SS I had been waiting for and I was able to take the car off the market while I could arrange my travel. They have competitive pricing and I was able to stay just under the top number I was willing to pay which was great. It was a pleasure to work with Greg as he was very patient with me, answered all my questions and there were zero hassles. The Camaro even came with new tires. Thank you Autoright for helping me get my dream car!
Great experience with Anthony, Tom, and Greg. They made my car buying experience easy and got me the best rate. Would recommend!
We went in looking for a second vehicle and Anthony greeted us right away and showed us what was there. Anthony was very helpful throughout the entire process and understanding of what we were looking for. We went in looking at an older Jeep Liberty and Anthony guided us towards getting a much better Jeep Patriot at a very good deal. We are very satisfied with our new vehicle and I will recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a used vehicle. Overall the process was pretty easy and I have no complaints.

I worked with Greg on getting my new car and he was absolutely amazing! He was able to answer any question I had on top of being incredibly friendly. Couldn't be happier with the service I received at auto right motors.
I've been on the market for a new car. I've been to several car dealerships and everyone of them, my seller would try to pressure me into buying whatever car I was interested in right then and there, or they would insult me and try to sell me another car that was obviously a very bad deal. Auto right is the first dealership where the dealer didnt harrass me with relentless phone calls. They also let me test drive my car unsupervised which allowed me to pull over and inspect the car independently. Most of their cars are very affordable, new, and in great condition. This is a very impressive dealer with a large variety and inventory and would recommend this lot to anybody looking for a car. Especially if you want to feel safe with purchasing your kids first car. Todd sold me a 2014 convertible Ford mustang for 11.5k and couldn't be happier with my purchase.
I'll give them a four for the sales process. But they painted part of my car before I picked it up and put it in the rain before the paint cured. When I picked it up, it was raining, so I could not see that the paint job had pock marks from the front of the driver's side door to half the way around the back. A survey sent by their parent company asked how the process went. I told them about the bad paint job and how I could not see pock marks under drops of rain and wouldn't even know to look for them. But I never heard back from anyone, so I'm assuming they're fine with that. Too bad. They are a nice group, I love my car, I'm glad I bought it, but now I have to repaint it. They should be more careful when painting. Why bother to do a bad job? Doesn't make sense. As an update, Autoright agreed on 9/24 to fix the paint job and the car is now in the shop over in Kirkland 9/28. The car was completely over-sprayed, even on windows and chrome. An auto body shop told me that the paint they put on was contaminated and left the pock marks which means it has to be sanded to the metal. I will see how they fix this and hopefully it will be wonderful! The cost to fix this for me would have been over $2000 for me.
Good experience. Friendly people
Great experience here! They were easy to work with, and made the car buying process painless. Thanks Connor and team
What can I say, this is/was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had. Anthony was so patient with all of my questions and made the whole process so smooth & easy. My husband and I will be Lee Johnson buyers for life!
I am happy with the outcome. Good people, gave me the right price, worked with me on a timing issue on purchasing the truck, and bought me a half tank of gas. I will definitely recomend them to anyone.
I couldn't be happier with the service and staff at this Autoright. Anthony was awesome and I could tell that he really loves helping people with this very important purchase! He furnished me with all of the details/history on the Lexus we purchased, and all info was verified by Carfax. The car is immaculate, beautiful and rides like a dream. The sales process was painless, and we were in and out in less than 2 hours, time included a long test drive and inspection. They gave me a decent trade in price on my older car too. An added perk on that particular Saturday was a lunch of pulled pork and mac n cheese, compliments of the wonderful sales staff. If you are looking to buy a reliable used car, with low mileage, that has been well maintained, look no further than Autoright and their friendly, caring sales staff. They make buying a used car almost a fun experience! You won't be sorry.
This was the best buying a car experience we have had. Come to Anthony Gallo he will get you the right car for you. Thank you Anthony and Robert for a late night and great service. Feel like we made great friends
We bought a 2013 Kia Soul from Autoright and had a great experience. We had previously had a bad experience buying a used car at a different dealer so we went into the process very cautiously. After seeing the car online we went to Autoright and they were more than willing to work with us to make sure we felt comfortable with it. Anthony the salesman and his manager allowed us to take the car to our own mechanic and the independent mechanic found it was in very good condition, just as their own mechanic report said. The car also had a weird smell but they took care of that with a odor removing machine and a complementary detail at Lee Johnson. The car was a good price and runs great after two months of owning it. I recommend Anthony and the other staff at autoright and appreciated their patience and service.
Kept driving past lot to and from work, saw a Chrysler 300 I thought my wife would like. We stoped in on a Saturday, drove a few cars and she decided on the white one. When you go, ask for Anthony, very professional, no pressure what so ever. We looked at expensive cars and some more modest ones. We were pleased with the inventory and availability of other inventory. Financing was a breeze! I don't have perfect credit, in fact, I'm still rebuilding it. They were prepared to help me with the best options available. I will definitely start with these guys the next time I searched for another vehicle.
Anthony and his team were great! I love my truck, and got a great deal!
Bought an old car here. Good price. Still runs well.
Sales team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. A very pleasant experience. I intend on going back for my next vehicle.
Good variety of cars on the lot and very low pressure sales process. Give them a try!
I already browsed their inventory online, I was already looking for a VW TDI, and they had 1 that was priced lower than most others. We test drove it, had all the bells and whistles, settled on a price that was affordable to us and drove home that night. Anthony was great.

It's not every day you can say this, but today I wish I was the state of California.
The state government has cash flow problems. Its fiscal leaders -- the controller, treasurer and finance director -- want to conserve cash. So what do they do? They decide to use their legal authority to defer the payment of bills to schools and counties.
How much are these bills? Together, nearly $3 billion. $2.5 billion of that is owed to the schools.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Don't you wish you could do that?
Look for more of this if the legislature and governor, as looks likely, delay reckoning with the budget until the fall or later.
On my trip to Sacramento last week, the general consensus from multiple sources was that there wouldn't be a new budget agreement until after the November elections, if then. That would be the latest budget agreement in history.
While these delayed payments and the likely use of IOUs will produce real pain, the state is better set up for prolonged budget stalemates and cash shortages. That's because, over the last several years of persistent budget crisis, the state's fiscal officers have been given more authority to juggle cash between various state accounts, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

A spokeswoman for the South Korean airline, Lee Hyomin, said the broadcast seriously damaged Asiana's reputation and that it will sue the station to "strongly respond to its racially discriminatory report," according to the Associated Press. The suit will likely be filed in the United States, she said.
The KTVU segment that referred to the pilots by four false names, including "Capt. Sum Ting Wong" and "Wi Tu Lo," has gone viral and drawn heavy criticism on the Internet.
Two teenage girls from China were killed and more than 180 people were injured when the Boeing 777 clipped a sea wall and slammed into a runway July 6 at San Francisco International Airport. A third passenger, a girl, died of her wounds Friday.

I looked over your Paste Email Plus program and I am going to purchase it this weekend when I receive my new computer.
One function I find indispensable in FF3, but not in 4 is the ability to insert the Time and Date into a form. When I am using Gmail contacts and need to record a note with a customer I can right-click and insert the current computer date / time. I have a separate add on that works in Outlook and I am searching for one for FF4
The developer said he is not going to upgrade it to FF4. Thanks

Robert Dalmasso worked as a comics artist in the 1940s and 1950s. Born in Nice in 1930, Dalmasso published his first work at the age of 16. Between 1946 and 1949, he used the pen name Robert Devil, and he illustrated several comics in the collection Bagarre, such as 'Inspecteur Mackinson - Terreur à Paris', 'La Pyramide du Diable', 'Jean Péril - Mission sur Tokio' and 'L'Empire du Silence'.
Between 1950 and 1955, he signed his work with Robert Dalmas. During this period, he illustrated comics novels and photo novels for the Editions Presses Mondiales. His output contained mostly romance, espionage and crime stories.
For Editions Edica, he produced complete stories like 'Coeur d'Espionne' and 'Hold-up à la Mairie'. He was also present in IMA, a magazine for children and adolescents, for which he did short stories and illustrations. Dalmasso left the comics field in 1955, which he continued to regret. He passed away in October 2009.

Several years ago I went to a small movie theater with a friend of mine for a repeat viewing of The Patriot. After the movie ended, we ran into one of our former teachers outside, who was a serious history buff. He told me that he'd enjoyed the movie, but he didn't know the Revolutionary War was such a big deal in South Carolina.
A lot of people don't know that, although I suspect the number is getting smaller, thanks to the aforementioned movie and a number of recent books and documentaries. The war was, in fact, a very big deal in South Carolina; it's quite possible that more combat actions took place in the Palmetto State than in any of the other twelve. In fact, after 1778, the Revolution was basically a southern show. Frustrated by inconclusive campaigning in the North, and faced with France's entry into the conflict, the British "Southern Strategy" depended on recruiting and training Loyalist auxiliaries in the Carolinas and Georgia to make up for dwindling Redcoat numbers. This strategy worked well for a while; British forces won a number of important engagements through the summer of 1780. It wasn't until early 1781 that reorganized American forces drove Cornwallis out of the Carolinas and toward his ultimate fate at Yorktown. The South, and particularly the Carolinas, was the pivot on which the whole war turned. One historian who understands that is John Ferling, who emphasizes the critical nature of the southern war in his outstanding military history of the Revolution, Almost a Miracle.
So why is the war in the South so poorly remembered? I think a number of factors are at work. First, when it comes to the issue of military history and popular memory, size matters. Many of the nasty little guerilla fights in the South were tiny in comparison to some of the big, set-piece battles around New York and Philadelphia. King's Mountain, for example, was critical in showing the folly of relying on Carolina Tory militia, but only about 1,000 men were engaged on each side.
Second, I think that it's difficult to associate the South with the Revolution because the Civil War dominates the region's history and identity. Since the South, the Confederacy, and the Civil War are synonymous for so many people, there isn't room for another war in the popular imagination.
Third is name recognition. Washington defined the Revolution. It's probably no accident that Yorktown is both the most famous southern locale of the Revolution and the only event in that theater in which Washington played a prominent role. Few men did as much to win the war as Nathanael Greene, commander in the South during the critical months of 1781, but I'd be surprised if one in ten Americans could tell you who he was.
Finally, and probably most disturbingly, American amnesia about the Revolution in the South is symptomatic of amnesia about the Revolution as a whole. There's no getting around the fact that it remains an understudied war. We lack modern, thorough biographies of many significant figures; histories cite the same outdated battle studies; important questions go unasked and unanswered. John Adams famously said that the Revolution was in the hearts and minds of the people, making the war almost an afterthought. So far, it seems America has taken him at his word.

Upset by a line of questioning, US Attorney General Eric Holder tells Rep. Darrell Issa that his conduct as a member of Congress is "unacceptable and shameful."
Holder was grilled Wednesday on several scandals rocking the Obama administration, including the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service, the secret gathering of telephone records at The Associated Press and any missteps in sharing intelligence information prior to the bombings in Boston.
At one point, Holder had a sharp exchange with local Rep. Issa (R) the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform.
U.S. & World
The video clip below shows what happened after Issa requested the full content of emails from Obama's nominee for Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez.
Republicans have said that Perez acted inappropriately during his time at the Justice Department.
When Issa suggested the AG's office didn't want Congress to see the content of the emails, Holder criticized the Congressional leader saying the comment "...is inappropriate and too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of Congress."

I'm a weather whore.
Not the kind of weather whore who watches The Weather Channel (I actually hate that channel), but the kind of weather whore who will spot a cool cloud and pull off the road to take pictures of it.
I have eight different weather apps on my phone, including one that only shows radar.
I have the NWS radar bookmarked on my home and work computers and when a storm is brewing I obsessively refresh the screen so I can track the storm.
Many of my favorite pictures are of storm clouds and other kinds of weather.
This one was taken on June 10, 2007 from my backyard. It's the classic anvil thunderhead. I've only seen a few of these perfect anvil clouds in my life and have only photographed this one.

An Atlanta math teacher allegedly offered students the answers to a test because she thought they were "dumb as hell," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported August 29. Shayla Smith, a former fifth-grade teacher at Dobbs Elementary School, was responsible for overseeing students while they were taking state-sponsored tests, and all tests monitored by Smith were reportedly blotched with questionable erasure marks, amounting to a "practically impossible frequency of changes from wrong to right [answers]," according to the Atlanta paper.
Around that time Schajuan Jones, who taught fourth-grade from across the hall, overheard Smith discussing the test with another teacher. "The words were, 'I had to give your kids, or your students, the answers because they're dumb as hell,'" Jones said of the dialogue between Smith and the other teacher.
A now-eighth-grade student also accused the disgraced educator of cheating, asserting that Smith offered the girl answers to a math test in 2010. "She would walk around and tell people the answer," the student asserted. "She would just come to our desks and read the question and say the answer."
Superintendent Erroll Davis said erasure analyses revealed that tests supervised by Smith had an extraordinarily high number of wrong-to-right erasures. "This district has lost complete and utter confidence in her ability to remain in the classroom," Davis said of the disgraced teacher. "I have absolutely no confidence that [this] teacher could, in fact, administer future exams with integrity."
Smith's wrongdoing is part of a much broader scandal — arguably one of the worst U.S. teaching scandals ever — that implicated more than 170 Atlanta public school teachers, which has ignited an ongoing investigation. A year-long probe by former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) released a startling 800-page report in July 2011 that exposed rampant teacher cheating and unethical practices in the 55,000-student Atlanta public school system. Investigators administered more than 2,000 interviews and brushed through 800,000 documents in what is potentially the most comprehensive investigation of public-school cheating in U.S. history.
Students in the Atlanta school system have scored exceptionally high on state curriculum tests over the years, bringing national acclaim to the state's schools, educators, and administrators. Due to the districts' award-winning "success" in student achievement, Superintendent Beverly Hall was named the 2009 National Superintendent of the Year. Conveniently, Hall retired from her post on June 30 of last year, only days before the scandal was unveiled.
Student test scores soared throughout Hall's tenure, The New American reported at the time, while she collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses, along with national applause — because of such extraordinary "improvements" in Atlanta student test scores.
"In many ways, the community was duped by Dr. Hall. While the district had rampant cheating, community leaders were unaware of the misconduct in the district," Perdue's report stated. "She abused the trust they placed in her. Hall became a subject of adoration and made herself the focus rather than the children … Her image became more important than reality."
Perdue's investigation revealed anxiety among teachers who were intimidated and threatened by principals and administrators. A third-grade teacher confessed to investigators, "There are ways that APS [Atlanta Public Schools] can get back at you [if you do not participate in cheating]. APS is run like a mob." The report uncovered a "culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation" that forced teachers into delivering students the correct answers as well as amending wrong answers on standardized tests.
Of the 180 or so teachers who were caught cheating, only 17 have been fired, 16 reinstated, and 110 have either resigned or retired. According to Georgia state law, educators can be fired for "incompetency, insubordination, willful neglect of duties, immorality, encouraging students to violate the law, failure to secure and maintain necessary educational training and any other good and sufficient cause."
However, due to a costly, complicated, and heavily union-guarded system, firing an incompetent teacher — even for allegations as severe as sexual misconduct — can take months, and sometimes even years.
This scandal serves as yet another example of what many perceive to be the failure and inadequacy of government-run education in this country.

Date Night: Mombar
Spots for every kind of date.
We loved Mombar, an Egyptian restaurant in Astoria, immediately. The DIY decor, kaleidoscopic and kinda crazy. The owner's banter with his son, who neglected his homework in favor of a device that went ping and beep. The chef who read a pulp paperback in Arabic during downtime. We found the atmosphere eclectic and inviting, the food similarly welcoming and impressive in its depths. Good place, this.
"We want offal," a four-top full of guys bellowed. "Bring us everything." The host-waiter-owner-DJ-artist-homework helper clapped his hands once, then rattled off the possibilities. "Liver? Sweetbreads? Kidneys? Breaded brains?" Once the gents finished one plate, another arrived, prepared in a kitchen no bigger than a closet, with just a few burners. "He's a smart man," the owner said proudly about his chef, gesturing at his ability to produce so much with so little. That night we ordered from the menu, but next time we'll opt for the $30 prix fixe, his choice. As those dudes would say, bring it!
Shortly upon sitting beneath children's drawings of pharaohs and Father's Day cards from years past, at a table decorated randomly with funky shards of colored glass, we were given Egyptian bread, "prepared with our compliments." It featured thousands of flaky layers, like baklava without the sweet, and soaked up the salty, toasty dipping sauce made from za'atar (dried thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds). To drink, cold hibiscus tea ($2), sweetened with slices of green apple.
The sem-man ($10), or quail, sat on a plate of lemony greens, whose pungence drifted upward, pleasantly drenching the bird. Nevertheless, the quail was underdone, its delicacy lost in chewiness. No matter, we agreed, and turned our attention to the more delightful Sahara mix ($7).
Here sat the desert, right on our plate in the middle of one of the most densely populated areas in New York City. Unlike the desert, though, oil made the dips luscious and fecund. The reddish baba ganoush tasted of spice, exotic and full of intrigue, while the green foul (pureed fava beans) was redolent of smoke and the beige hommus evoked the sensation of suppleness, hitting the high palate. Pure smooth sensuousness.
"Uhhh... this is terrific," one of us moaned upon sampling the mombar ($18). According to the old saw, you don't want to know how sausage is made, but here you can't help it: stuffed loosely into the casing were chunks of beef and lamb, rice, peppers, garlic, and chickpeas. And then there were the ingredients that we perceived but didn't espy, including a liberal shake of cinnamon.
All food is a gift, nourishment we give to ourselves or to others, but not all food looks like something you're happy to receive. Pardon the parable, but our second entree, a special of the night called, truthfully, salmon wrapped in phyllo ($20) inspired such musings. Its exterior echoed a bastilla, shaped like a hockey puck and undeniably stoic about what might be happening on the inside. Cracking the tan crust revealed the nicest of presents, fish made moist by onions and peppers, tomatoes and garlic.
The air conditioner blinked red, then yellow. Hotter still was Steinway Street, perfumed by hookahs and car exhaust. We might have been in a souq in Cairo, tucked off an alley with the day's last light coming through the stained glass windows, rainbowfiying our meal. Mombar is cash only, and best for: a date to elsewhere.

Bring a small pan of water to the boil and cook the noodles following pack instructions. Drain, rinse under cold running water to stop them cooking further, then drizzle over a little oil to prevent them sticking together. Divide between 2 deep bowls.
Heat a wok over high heat and add the rest of the oil. When it starts to smoke, add the ginger and chilli, then stir-fry for a few secs. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 mins. As the meat starts to turn brown, add the rice wine and cook for 3 mins more. Add the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, then add the mushrooms. Season with the dark soy, light soy and rice vinegar.
Bring back to a simmer, then add the cornflour paste. Simmer and stir until thickened. Stir in the beansprouts and most of the spring onions, then ladle the soup over the noodles. Serve immediately, scattered with the remaining spring onions.
