Bill proposed to ease weight restrictions
Truckers need more tangible forms of relief, Sidelinger said. He estimated that as many as 50 have stopped hauling due to high prices. Coalition members have predicted that mills will start running short of fiber if truckers cannot afford to haul it to them, or that some mills will be forced to shut down if they have to assume fuel costs. Diesel prices have risen by about a dollar a gallon since last year. In Maine, they average about $3.70 a gallon, compared to $3.62 a gallon across New England and $3.39 nationwide, Sidelinger said. "Why is New England 30 cents higher than the national average and why is Maine 8 cents higher than the New England average? The same question keeps coming up and we never get clear answers," Sidelinger said. "That's just the way that it is." "These are all just short-term solutions," Sidelinger added.
District spent $1.5 million on trips, catering
Despite promises to scale back travel and other nonessential expenses, Detroit Public Schools spent more than $1.5 million on hotels, travel and catered meals in the year that ended Sept. 1. That's comparable to what the district spent on food and travel during a similar time frame in 2005-2006. After the Free Press uncovered those expenses last February, school officials pledged they would rein in such spending. The expenses outraged parents and teachers in the cash-strapped district. .
Contractor loses La. scholarship account data dating back to 1998
BATON ROUGE, La. -- A Boston-based contractor hired to store and safeguard state scholarship and college savings account data lost most of those records _ including bank account numbers and student and parent Social Security numbers _ during a move, officials say. "We certainly don't want to create any panic. But people should be aware and take the necessary steps," said Melanie Amrhein, executive director of the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance. "This is backup data off of a mainframe that contains sensitive personal information." Special equipment and software and "sophisticated computer skills" would be needed to get the compressed records from the TOPS scholarship program, START Saving Program, and Free Application for Federal Student Aid, according to a notice posted on the Internet.
Intimidating groups of teenagers adorn the landscape
The cute puppies in the windows are a magnet for the under four year old set who love to drag their parents there to inspect the inventory. Most of the males I observe wear sneakers... young men or old men, sneakers are the footwear of choice. Sandals show up in the warmer weather and they and shorts are interesting because you can inventory the large amount of tattoos that live on ankles and lower legs. Old timers like me are continually asking themselves, "What were they thinking?" Watching parents with small children create a special appreciation for my idea of family responsibilities. It engages all of one's attention and energy to take a three year old to the mall. With no difficulty at all, the toddlers can break away and run into Olympia sports, pick up a baseball bat, and start whacking things.
