NEW HAVEN -- A tentative agreement between the city and the New Haven Federation of Teachers sheds new light on aspects of the unfolding school reform effort, including the district's new ability to evaluate teachers based on student performance, increased school- level flexibility and a new peer-mentoring program for poorly performing teachers, said sources familiar with the contract.

The US Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) is the world's largest business federation, and the most financially influential trade organization. The Chamber is one of the top independent organizational contributors to state and federal political campaigns. However, the public will never know who is funding the Chamber's attack ads and get-out-the-vote efforts because the Chamber is a registered 501(c)(6) trade organization. This note argues that the political activities of trade organizations should be disclosed to the public through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Disclosure of trade organization activity needs to be tailored to stop the use of tax-exempt organizations to avoid campaign finance laws, especially in light of corporations' aggregation of wealth and the potential for corr...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A new economic analysis from the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) identifies a fleet-wide car and light truck fuel economy standard of 60 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2025 as critical and necessary for consumer pocketbook protection. The Obama Administration will release a Notice of Intent for 2017-2025 light duty fuel economy standards on September 30th.
Previous fuel economy standards have left huge consumer savings on the table. A 60 mile per gallon standard in 2025 will capture those enormous benefits and provide important protections for American consumers," commented report author Mark Cooper, CFA Director of Research.

The proposed four-year contract grants an average 3 percent annual raise, but raises would be higher for newer teachers. Those at the highest step of the pay scale would get smaller raises, sources said.

Fourteen-yearold [Jason Walter], a student at Wolmer'e Boys, was too good for his rivals in the 14-andunder category with a perfect per formance. Walter was the only rider to accumulate a score of zero faults over the two-day competition that featured riders from Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and The Cayman Islands.
Hillel's Ralston rode in the 16 and under category and placed first with an accumulated score of 17 faults. The 15-year old is also the daughter of president of the Equestrian Federation of Jamaica (EFJ), John Ralston, who was elated with the pair's triumph, especially in light of the fact that they were forced to ride unfamiliar horses.
I'm very proud of both of them. Instead of moving the horses around, the Caribbean riders actually go to the different c...

The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and the Holocaust Center of the United Jewish Federation raised the curtain for more than 300 during a special opening night performance of Light/The Holocaust & Humanity Project at the Byham Theater on Thursday.
The largest collaborative project in PBT history, the concept stemmed from a casual conversation between PBT director Harris Ferris and HC prez Hal Waldman, an idea to turn a ballet into a community collaboration that soon garnered the support of Ballet Austin director Cookie Ruiz and Artistic Director Stephen Mills.
