Extractions: Home About the Foundation Annual Fund Athletic and Scholarship Programs ... Ways to Give Scholarships A principal function of the Foundation is the administration of a scholastic program through which the Foundation provides one year of post-high school education in certain high-quality schools and junior colleges to a limited number of strongly motivated and carefully selected young men and women who may need further academic preparation to assist them in qualifying for entrance into the Naval Academy. This program is supported and encouraged by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy and is approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Since 1944, the Foundation has assisted many fine candidates (over 2,500) with good leadership, scholastic, and athletic potential, who have evidenced a genuine interest in attending the Naval Academy, to prepare for service in the Navy or Marine Corps. Admissions - Description and Procedures: The Naval Academy Foundation's Preparatory Program is briefly described in the USNA Catalog as assisting "promising candidates who are not appointed in their first try for admission. This nonprofit organization awards a limited number of scholarships for post-high school preparatory studies to enhance these candidates' qualifications for admission.

Extractions: USES SELECTIVE DATA TO CARRY ITS FLAWED ARGUMENT In a forthcoming book, I devote about one third of the pages to "Principles of Data Interpretation, Or, How Not To Get Statistically Snookered by Ideologues, Politicians, Incompetents and Crooks." I note how "A Nation At Risk," with 9 NAEP trends, only one of which would support crisis rhetoric, used only that one. And so forth. A similar thing happened in the December 22, 1999 edition of the Wall Street Journal, the viper's nest of the title, an appellation donated by Slate magazine. Slate meant it only in regard to the editorial page and it is true that most WSJ stories, as opposed to editorials, have been fair and balanced. The one at hand is not. A page one story by Daniel Golden lauded the domestic military schools (as opposed to DODDS schools abroad) for doing so well while civilian schools with similar levels of poverty and minority proportions failed so miserably. The answer, of course, is that populations are not similar and that Golden had picked one piece of data where the military schools looked especially good.

Extractions: Free Press Contributor T he Seattle School District, by allowing military recruiters on its high school campuses, is evidently in conflict with its own policy of non-discrimination based on sexual orientation. This policy, in effect since 1991, is in clear conflict with the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" guidelines of the Department of Defense. The Seattle School District Superintendent's office, when asked for the authority under which the military is allowed into schools, referred to a state statute (RCW 28A.230.180) that gives access to military recruiters "on the same basis" as any other organization that seeks to make students aware of occupational or educational options. In actual fact, the military enjoys an exception to district policy. If Microsoft or Boeing for example, had employment policies that rejected gay/lesbian job applicants or fired them for open admission of their sexual orientation, would these companies be allowed on high school campuses?

Franks, commander of Central Command. "The first one was held in San Diego in July 2000. Because this institute is in three phases, some of our counselors are completing the cycle this year.
Extractions: Law Schools Yale Law School One hundred and sixteen years after President Woolsey wrote those comments, U.S. News and World Report called Yale Law School a place "where diversity of ideas is embraced but not imposed." The law school indeed developed the broad-based and deep-reaching legal education of which President Woolsey dreamed. Today the school offers that education not just to men; women have been admitted since early in the century, and now almost half our students are women. It continues its long tradition of offering that education to individuals from diverse backgrounds and kinds of training.

You would think with 'patriotic fever' running high, a recruiter's job would be easier. While that is true in most parts, in our area it's not the case. The problem isn't the students, it's the schools, many of which won't allow military recruiters on campus. Education Reporter Celeste Ford explains why. Watch Celeste Ford's Report Under federal law, military recruiters have access to all high schools with only two exceptions: When the school board says no, or when a private school objects for religious reasons. Recruiters say of schools nationwide, those in New York and New Jersey are most likely to turn them away.

Extractions: Home News Communities Classifieds ... Customer Service New London County, CT Norwich's rich history centers around its harbor and its mills. Both played important roles in the progress of this city and in the development of our country. Norwich was settled in 1659 as a nine-square-mile area purchased from the Mohegan Indians. The initial settlement which included what are now the towns of Norwich, Bozrah, Lisbon, Franklin, and parts of Griswold and Preston was built around a town green. The Norwichtown Green is still alive with history today. Many early homes including that of Samuel Huntington, first president of the Continental Congress can be seen in the vicinity of the well-preserved green, in addition to Meeting House Rock and the towns first well. Two miles south of the original settlement at the confluence of the Yantic, Thames and Shetucket rivers a port and shipyards were built, along with roads connecting the harbor area to Norwichtown. The port area, called "The Landing" or "Chelsea", flourished and commerce grew. A mill was established in Norwich as early as 1770. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the mills produced textiles and firearms and something else: industrial wealth. At the time of the Civil War, Norwich boasted more millionaires per capita than any city in the nation. Mill owners and wealthier entrepreneurs built grand homes along the roads connecting Chelsea Harbor and Norwichtown. Many of these homes still stand along Washington Street and Broadway.

Lastly is a brief overview about Impact Aid The Big Three Points to Make Quality of Life outstanding education to military dependents and military parents have repeatedly said they want these schools to remain perks Burden to Local Communities * Forcing local public school systems to take on DDESS students will create a financial burden for them. The Impact Aid they will receive will cover only a portion of the actual per-pupil cost. As a result, state and local resources will have to make up the rest. This means either stretching the education budget a lot farther or raising taxes to make up the difference.
