I like that it's free," Mercis said of the enrichment programs at Edwards. "You don't have to pay for it. If I wanted to take karate or ballet [outside of school], it costs a lot.
"It better bring results, because we're in the 'restructuring' category of No Child Left Behind, and we need to improve," [Edwards Principal Michael Sabin] said. "The state will judge this program by the MCAS scores. And we think the scores will increase."
"My perspective is it's both," [Timilty] Principal Valeria Lowe-Barehmi said. "If a student is behind, he needs more time. At the same time, it's a positive avenue for a student who might leave here and go home to stand on the corner or watch TV all day."

As part of the $1 billion redevelopment project surrounding Staples Center called "LA Live' that will open in 2009, look for a five-story ESPN complex that will include the neon lights of an ESPN Zone restaurant, a state-of- the-art TV and radio broadcast facility and expanded production offices that will stand near the corner of 11th Street and Chick Hearn Court in parking lot 3.
In other words, the complex will be right across the street from FSN West's studios, where the 10 p.m. "Southern California Sports Report' currently encourages fans to mug for the cameras on the other side of the glass windows.

Jason Myer had an item on his wish list for a long time: build and run a hot dog cart. That seven-year dream has finally come to fruition, thanks to another wish list. Mr. Myers Old-Time Hot Dogs officially opened this past Friday inside the Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Piedmont Road. Myers cart which he hand-built, using some items purchased at the ReStore, of course is set up in a corner by the entrance, where the enticing smells of onions and warm hot dogs greet shoppers for a few hours each day during lunchtime. Ive had a dream for seven or eight years of having my own business, said the 38-year-old native of Wirt County who moved to Teays Valley as a teen. Myer works in TV production and media marketing by day, a job he said is very abstract. He dreamed of supplementing that w...

Politics is about risk taking and in this business that requires so much, men and women ought to stand for what they believe in. I respect people who stand on the principles that inform their socio-political philosophy and world-view and not those who waver and hide behind political expediency....For those who might be reading this commentary and are mad at me for the audacity to pen such an issue, I want to remind you that your freedom is no freedom if another person's freedom is threatened by your prejudice and intolerance.

IN SOME TWISTY, whispery way, it's all a tribute to Johnny Carson. He more than anyone made late-night TV not just a haven of talk, but a time and place much talked about - a temporal neighborhood, where the machinations of a highly privileged class fascinate many of us who feel dull and under-paid by comparison.
In this corner, Conan O'Brien, the once and probably future king of late night (his "once" lasted only a few weeks); and in the other corner, Jay "The Jaw" Leno, who's looking more and more not only like yesteryear, but also like a bad egg, exactly counter to the good-egg image he maintained for decades as a stand-up comic. Leno didn't seem to brutalize people in his act nor in his backstage behavior toward competitors and colleagues; then he hit the big time and the big time h...

The environment in Africa is so beautiful," said the Senegalese artist Baaba Maal. "It's so close to people; it's a part of their lives," the singer and master musician shared. "You know, I'm a nomad... I am not from Dakar. I am from Podor [Senegal]. It's a small town near the river," he revealed, referring to the Senegal River.
Maal has noticed a developing trend in Africa. "Now, they are putting the news about the African culture and [using] the languages that we use in the villages. For example, we will stand on the corner of a city like Dakar [Senegal] or Abidjan [Ivory Coast] or Johannesburg [South Africa] ," said Maal, elabo- rating that now when the TV is turned on, you can see those same images. "It's like someone is talking to you with your cul- ture and your language. When th...
