A Danger to Our Grizzlies

FEB. 24, 2016

Contributing Op-Ed Writer

(...)

The grizzly bears that live in and around Yellowstone

make up almost half the population in the lower 48 states,

and now those bears are at risk.

In 2015 their numbers in the Yellowstone area declined

by 40, to an estimated 717 from 757 — a 6 percent drop

that represents the highest one-year mortality

since grizzlies were given federal protection in 1975.

Despite this decline, the United States Fish and Wildlife

Service is currently preparing to strip the animals

of their Endangered Species Act protection.

The Secret to School Integration

FEB. 23, 2016

The New York Times

The Opinion Pages | Op-Ed Contributors

By HALLEY POTTER

and KIMBERLY QUICK

BY most measures, America’s public schools are now more racially and socioeconomically segregated than they have been for decades.

In the Northeast, 51.4 percent of black students attend schools where 90 percent to 100 percent of their classmates are racial minorities, up from 42.7 percent in 1968. In the country’s 100 largest school districts, economic segregation rose roughly 30 percent from 1991 to 2010.

In some ways, it’s as if Brown v. Board of Education never happened. Increasing residential segregation and a string of unfavorable court cases are partly to blame. But too many local school officials are loath to admit the role that their enrollment policies play in perpetuating de facto segregation.

While Mayor Bill de Blasio has supported several recent grass-roots efforts to integrate individual schools in New York City, district officials have avoided taking a stand on school integration amid controversy. Carmen Fariña, the schools chancellor, recently declined to support parent proposals to merge attendance zones for two highly segregated schools just nine blocks apart on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. She instead placed the responsibility for integration on individual parents. “Parents make choices,” she said.

In Seattle, in 2008, the superintendent and school board also cited residential segregation as the reason for not making integration a priority. “It’s not my job to desegregate the city,” the chairwoman of the school board explained to The Seattle Times.

In Florida, the Pinellas County school board voted to tie school zones more strictly to residential patterns, moving thousands of formerly integrated black students into underperforming schools. One of the board members called the problem “a nationwide thing, not just us.”

School leaders need to stop making excuses for segregation. Diverse classrooms reduce racial bias and promote complex reasoning, problem solving and creativity for all students. Five decades of research confirm that students in socioeconomically and racially diverse schools have higher test scores, are more likely to enroll in college, and are less likely to drop out, on average, than peers in schools with concentrated poverty. Low-income students’ achievement improves in integrated schools, and contrary to many parental concerns, middle-class students’ achievement does not suffer.

The structural and political challenges to integration are substantial, but viable options are still within reach for nearly any community that makes integration a priority. Take socioeconomic integration. According to our research, more than 90 school districts and charter schools in 32 states are using socioeconomic status as a factor in student assignment.

These districts and charters enroll more than four million students. Because socioeconomic and racial segregation so often overlap — even as black and Latino families are more likely to live in persistent, unstable poverty — these strategies are a necessary step toward preventing racial marginalization from persisting in schoolhouses.

In Champaign, Ill., for example, families rank their top choices from among all schools in the district, and students are assigned based on an algorithm to ensure socioeconomic diversity. Under this system, 80 percent to 90 percent of families typically receive their first choice.

In Rhode Island, a mayor from affluent Cumberland led the passage of legislation to create regionally integrated charter schools that would draw students from rich suburbs and struggling cities together in the same classrooms.

In Louisville, Ky., where racial integration plans were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2007, school officials, parents and students rallied to create a new integration plan that includes measures like family income and educational attainment alongside neighborhood-level racial factors to ensure that their schools did not resegregate.

Political backlash is inevitable. But when interests collide, courageous leaders must recognize that integration is worth the work.

In 2010, Somali parents and the superintendent in the majority-white Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie led efforts to redraw elementary school boundaries to integrate the schools. Despite fierce protests by some white families, the boundaries were redrawn. Six years later, the elementary schools are not only more socioeconomically and racially integrated, but they are producing higher test scores.

School integration has found its way into the presidential campaign. In a speech this month in Harlem, Hillary Clinton lamented the “dangerous slide towards resegregation in our schools.” The push for integration is also poised to make the leap from politics into policy.

The budget request President Obama released this month includes $120 million to support integration efforts led by districts, more than double current funding. John King, the acting secretary of education, has deemed school integration a national priority, calling the opportunity to attend strong, socioeconomically diverse schools “one of the best things we can do for all children.”

With this work underway, at least partly, in 32 states, there may well be hope for a new wave of school integration.

about an hour and a half northeast of Tampa.

There was no clue to her identity,

“A man’s belt was wrapped around her neck,”

said Darren Norris, an investigator

who is now in charge of the case.

After Reports to the Contrary,

Only One Miner Survives

January 4, 2006

The New York Times

By JAMES DAO and JOHN O'NEIL

SAGO, W. Va., Jan. 4 - The news that arrived just before midnight could not have been better: all but one of the 12 men still trapped in a West Virginia coal mine had been saved. But the news that arrived more than two hours later was tragedy compounded: all but one had in fact died.

A grim-faced mining company official made the announcement of the deaths to a crowd of several hundred friends and relatives in a small nearby Baptist church about 2:30 this morning.

"There was silence," John Cato, a friend of the miners, told CNN in an interview. "People didn't understand what he was saying."

What followed was pandemonium. "People who had been praising God a minute before were cursing him" Mr. Cato said.

But more fury was aimed at the mining executives. The company's chief executive said people directing the effort misunderstood a phone call in which rescuers reported finding the men. Residents were also angry that the company delayed correcting the error for almost three hours, although they learned the true nature of the situation after 20 minutes. And criticism was directed as well at West Virginia's governor, Joe Manchin III, who had joined in the initial jubilation at the church.

One miner had been found dead earlier in the evening.

But the word that the 12 others had been rescued and the somber correction brought a shocking end to a rescue effort that had dominated the airwaves ever since an explosion trapped the miners 260 feet below the surface after an explosion occurred early Monday morning.

California Demands

Repairs topréposition Software

for Voting Machines

December 25, 2005

The New York Times

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
 

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 24 (AP) - California election officials have told one of the country's largest makers of voting machines toviseur repair its software after problems with vote counts and verification surfaced in the state's special election in November.

In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, Bradley J. Clark, the assistant secretary of state for elections, threatened to start the process of decertifying machines made by the maker, Election Systems and Software, if senior officials did not address the concerns immediately.

"The California secretary of state is deeply concerned about problems experienced by counties utilizing ES&S voting equipment and software," Mr. Clark wrote in a letter addressed to the company president, Aldo Tesi, nine days after the Nov. 8 election.

Software problems included incorrect counting of turnout figures, a malfunction that prevented voters from verifying that their choices were registered accurately and one machine recording the wrong vote in a test, according to the letter.

Eleven California counties used the company's voting machines in the special election. Election Systems and Software equipment also is used in 45 other states.

The problems in California are similar to ones the company has experienced elsewhere. In a 2004 primary election in Hawaii, glitches with the company's optical scanners led to a miscount of about 6,000 votes.

Mr Bolton makes a bad start to his new job

26 August 2005

Any hopes that John Bolton, the new US ambassador to the United Nations, would have been chastened by the way he was elevated to his position have been dashed by the emergence of a leaked document detailing his negotiating demands for next month's UN summit. So contested was Mr Bolton's nomination - even in the Republican Party - that President Bush was forced to bypass the Senate and name his new UN ambassador in a recess appointment. But documents that have fallen into the hands of The Washington Post reveal that Mr Bolton's all too brief experience of democratic accountability before Congress have not taught him the virtues of moderation.

Not all the amendments to next month's draft agreement proposed by Mr Bolton are unreasonable. Few would argue, for example, that in the wake of the Iraq oil-for-food scandal and the revelations of sexual abuses by UN peacekeepers that the bureaucratic structures of the UN are not sorely in need of radical reform. And it is true the UN Human Rights Commission has lost all credibility by including nations such as Sudan and Libya and ought to be dissolved and replaced. The US is also justified in calling for a stronger stance against terrorism and the proliferation of biological and chemical weapons.

as narrated by Conradi,

was to ensure that no one knew

about her affair with Elias Canetti.

From her marriage to John Bayley in 1956

until her death in 1999,

Canetti had been merely her guru,

not her sadistic sexual tormenter.

In Bayley's own memoir of Iris,

that she resigned her fellowship at St Anne's in 1962

because the college principal warned her about

'a mutually obsessional attachment to a woman colleague'.
