At high noon on one of the hottest days of the summer, a small group of senior citizens sweated it out in front of state GOP headquarters in Raleigh, N.C., asking the Republican Party to stop using what they called "scare tactics" to turn senior citizens against health care reform. It could be the start of a silver backlash against what some say is a misinformation campaign about health care reform.
The members of the Alliance for Retired Americans were angry about a recent column by national GOP chair Michael Steele, who said health care reform would lead to rationing for the elderly and deep cuts to Medicare.

Schools fail to meet No Child Left Behind goals
Nanette Asimov, Chronicle Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
If the system mandated by No Child Left Behind to fix thousands of failing schools were subjected to its own rigorous standards, it too could fail.
That's the conclusion of the first large study examining whether school-restructuring programs required by the federal No Child Left Behind education act are actually working.
The study, released today, found that the number of schools failing to meet achievement goals nationwide under No Child Left Behind jumped by 50 percent since last year - with California leading the way.

We have all been here. Stuck sitting somewhere like a captive and unable to leave for some reason. I have spent a great deal of time in my life waiting—we all have.

Starbucks won't slug it out in ad wars
Coffee chain says it'll take high road
By ANDREA JAMES
P-I REPORTER
McDonald's has erected a billboard in sight of Starbucks headquarters declaring, "four bucks is dumb."
· Earlier: Coffee Smackdown: In new ad drive, Dunkin' Donuts is claiming a taste-test victory over Starbucks
If Dunkin' Donuts' taste test commercials were the schoolyard equivalent of blowing spitballs at the coffee giant from afar, then the latest from McDonald's is like pulling a wedgie.

I broke up with my ex boyfriend about 9 months ago. Shortly aftwerwards, I did something uncharacteristic of me and began dating someone else.
At the time, I believed the new man was cut out for what I wanted in life: marriage and kids, but now I don't think he is suited for it, at least not at this point in his life, even though he has always said he wants to marry me and have children together.
