      <title>District Spent $20K Per Student, Had Rodents In Schools, &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Holes&lt;/span&gt; In Ceiling and Walls</title>

      <description>Student: 'We had to worry if something was going to
crawl on us ... if the ceiling was going to fall in on us'


A news service for the people of Michigan from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy

District Spent $20K Per Student.

 Though the Highland Park School District spent $19,634 per pupil in 2010-11 , which was  the highest in the state , district schools were so mismanaged that they had rodents in the classrooms, holes in the ceilings and walls, and horrendous filth in the bathrooms.

&quot;I   it in the media center,&quot; DeCarlos, a junior at Highland Park Community High School, said of a mouse he saw running along the floor from a nearby room.

He wasn't alone.

&quot;It was terrible,&quot; said Delshon, a senior at HPCHS. &quot;We had to worry if something was going to crawl on us; worry if the ceiling was going to fall in on us.

&quot;You'd just do your work and you'd just see something just run across,&quot; he said.

I have been visiting Highland Park schools this year to watch as the district transitions from a conventional district to a charter district - one of the first two public school districts in Michigan to make such a change. 

Though the Highland Park district was struggling financially and academically, it spent more money than every other district in the state. During the 2010-11 school year, Highland Park spent nearly $20,000 per student. And yet, the Highland Park schools are in utter disrepair. 

In 2012, a financial review team appointed by (Republican) Gov. Rick Snyder declared that the Highland Park school district was in a financial emergency. The district had spent millions more than it had received in revenue.

There were accusations of mismanagement. Highland Park board member Robert Davis was charged with improperly spending more than $170,000 of school district money, on clothing, hotels and restaurant tabs, among other things.

Ultimately, the state gave Highland Park more than $8 million in extra funding so that it could pay its bills. 

This fall, the district reopened as a charter district. School administrators who work for The Leona Group, the charter management company that is running the schools, say that they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to clean and fix up the facilities. 

Leona replaced some toilets at Highland Park schools, but not those on school floors that aren't being used. The remaining toilets betray just how far things had declined in Highland Park schools under conventional district management. The toilet bowls are caked brown. 

Ceiling tiles are missing in many of the buildings. One hallway wall in the high school is partially caved in. The security guard showing me around the school building said that the wall was damaged during a fight last year.

&quot;This stuff didn't just get like this. It's been like this,&quot; said Valecia Ashford, a teacher who has been with the district for 37 years. 

When I asked her how teachers and parents allowed students to attend school in these conditions, Ashford responded: &quot;I thought about my colleagues. Always placed them in very high regard. But going into some of these rooms, and looking at the filth that was in those rooms ... my whole attitude changed toward them.&quot;

Prior to being charterized, some district officials were blaming state legislators for a lack of funding. The Michigan PTA President also called for more money. At the same time, the district was spending nearly $20,000 per student - well over a quarter of a million per classroom - while the district shed nearly half of its students

The previous teachers' contract shows that the district paid 100 percent of health care premiums while granting special favors for the union, like handing over district financial information, setting up an automatic payroll deduction for dues, and allowed the local president to spend half of his or her time working exclusively on union business. 

No Highland Park District school board member responded to a request for comment as to how the district could have spent so much while leaving the facilities in such disrepair.

      <title>Apple Avoids Paying $17 Million In Taxes Every Day Through A Ballsy But Genius Tax Avoidance Scheme</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 22:35:55 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>1. Almost all of Apple's foreign operations are run through an Irish company with no employees. 

The company told investigators that it lost all records concerning why Apple Operations International was originally set up in 1980, and why all of Apple global sales go through it. You might have a few ideas why if you keep reading.

 2. Apple pays 2%-or less-in corporate income tax in Ireland. 

The already low-tax country gives Apple special treatment with a negotiated 2% income tax rate. But that's just the top-line number: Between 2009 and 2011, one Irish subsidiary, Apple Sales International, earned $38 billion and paid $21 million in taxes, for an effective rate of .06%.

 3. Apple Operations International, which provided 30% of Apple's worldwide net profits from 2009 to 2011, doesn't pay taxes anywhere. 

This move is devilishly brilliant: The US decides if it can tax you based on where you incorporate your company. Ireland decides if it can tax you based on the location of the people managing the company. So if you incorporate a subsidiary in Ireland, and manage it from the US, you don't (so far) have to pay taxes in either country. And that's exactly what Apple has done, not filing a tax return for AOI anywhere in the world in the last five years.

 4. Apple's US profits keep ending up in Ireland, too.  

The report alleges more than just the avoidance of US taxes on foreign sales of Apple's products. It also argues that Apple is effectively sending US profits to its Irish subsidiaries, too. How? Transfer pricing. Apple has set up a cost-sharing agreement with its Irish subsidiaries that gives them a disproportionate share of the profit from research and development that occurs in the United States. From 2009 to 2012, Apple allocated $4 billion in R&amp;amp;D costs to its US unit, which had $38.7 billion in profits, while its Irish subsidiary had $4.9 billion in R&amp;amp;D costs-and $74 billion in profits.

 5. Most of the $102 billion Apple is keeping &quot;overseas&quot; is in US banks. 

Just as its Irish companies are managed by US employees, Apple's Irish cash is mostly kept in US financial institutions, largely managed by Braeburn Capital, Apple's financial engineering nexus in Nevada.

 6. The magic of &quot;check-the-box&quot; makes whole companies disappear 

One of the most favored tax loop-holes for multinationals is known as &quot;check-the-box.&quot; It allows companies to instruct the government to completely disregard certain foreign subsidiaries for tax purposes. Apple's main Irish subsidiary, AOI, checks the box for its entire global distribution network. This allowed the company to avoid paying $12.5 billion in taxes that would have been assessed for foreign sales by its network of global distributors.

 7. Apple is seemingly terrible at estimating its own taxes 

In annual reports between 2009 and 2011, the company told investors it was setting aside $13.7 billion to pay federal taxes-but it has actually paid only $5.3 billion. Those set-asides are only advance estimates, but it's pretty strange that each year they're off by many billions of dollars. As a result, Apple's actual US tax rate is only 20.1%, much lower than the 24% to 32% it said it was paying. Absent this congressional investigation, we wouldn't know the difference.

http://qz.com/86740/the-seven-craziest-findings-in-the-us-investigation-of-apples-tax-avoidance-practices/


 Apple Sales International (ASI) is a second Irish affiliate.  It is the repository for all of Apple's offshore intellectual property rights. 

ASI buys Apple's finished products from contracted manufacturers in China - think Foxconn - and resells them at a major markup to other Apple affiliates in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India and the Pacific.
Although ASI is an Irish incorporated entity and the purchaser of the goods, only a small percentage of Apple's manufactured products ever entered Ireland.
 
Upon arrival, the products were resold by ASI to the Apple distribution affiliate that took ownership of the goods. 

Before 2012, ASI had no employees despite $38 billion in income over three years.
Apple's cost sharing arrangement facilitated the shift of $74 billion in worldwide profits away from the United States from 2009 to 2012.

ASI's parent company is Apple Operations Europe Inc. Together they own the intellectual property rights to Apple goods sold offshore.

Like AOI, ASI claims to be a tax resident of nowhere. It's not obligated to pay taxes to any nation. 
Apple Sales International pays very, very little in global taxes:

 Here's Who Pays the Bill for Apple's Tax Avoidance 

The victims, meanwhile, are ordinary taxpayers who fund most of the federal government. During the 1950s, individual income taxes typically accounted for about 60% of the government's tax revenue, with corporate taxes covering the other 40 percent. By 1970 individuals paid 73% of all taxes. By 1990 it was 83 percent, with the peak coming in 2009, when corporations claimed steep losses and individuals paid 87% of all taxes. By 2012, that had drifted down to 82%, with corporations paying 18%.

      <title>Black Male Top Pedophiles Crimes Per Capita in the USA.</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 19:24:31 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Probably everywhere else too..

STATS HERE:
http://www.prevent-abuse-now.com/stats.htm

There is a long-standing myth perpetrated by Blacks and White 
anti-racists like Tim Wise that Whites are more likely to molest 
children than any other race. This goes back to some stereotype of the 
creepy, nerdy, weirdo White guy who can't get laid so he molests kids.
About time we shot this myth full of holes like it needs to be.


 Stats :


% of total child molesters:

White                            51%
African American                 25%
Hispanic                         15%
American Indian/Alaska Natives   2%
Asian/Pacific Islanders          1%
Relative to their population, likelihood of abuse compared to background population rate:


American Indian  +100%
Blacks           +92%
Hispanics        no difference
Whites           -35%
Asian            -67%

On an individual basis, American Indians are most likely to molest a 
child, then Blacks, then Hispanics, then Whites, then Asians.
The high Amerindian rate is probably due to the utterly collapsed 
nature of Amerindian families and societies as a whole. The high Black 
rate is because, well, Blacks have elevated rates of most crimes 
compared to Whites, Hispanics, Asians and Amerindians. I fail to see why
 child molesting should be an exception. Low Asian rate is probably 
because across almost all crime stats, Asians typically have the lowest 
rates of them all.
As you can see, not only are Whites less likely to molest kids than 
Blacks, they have one of the lowest child molesting rates of any ethnic 
group in the US, surpassed only by Asians.
One rejoinder to this argument is that those statistics include as a 
&quot;child&quot; persons all the way to age 17. Sex with a 14-17 year old is 
hardly child molestation. The argument is that while Blacks may be more 
likely to have sex with teens, Whites are more likely to have sex with 
an actual child under the age of 13.




Child Abuse &amp;amp; Child Sexual Abuse ~ Substantiated





Composition of substantiated child abuse in 2000:

  879,000 children were victims of child maltreatment.

  Neglect ~ 63%

  Physical  ~ 19%

  Sexual  ~ 10% 

  Psychological ~ 8%



Victimization rates declined as age increased.

Rate of victimization per 1,000 children of the same age group:

  Birth to 3 years old = 15.7 victims per 1,000.

  Ages 16 and 17 = 5.7 victims per 1,000.



Except for victims of sexual abuse, rates

were similar for male and female victimization:

  11.2 and 12.8 per 1,000 children respectively.

Rate of sexual abuse by gender:

  1.7 victims per 1,000 female children

  0.4 victims per 1,000 male children.



Rate of child abuse by race:

  White = 51%

  African American = 25%

  Hispanic = 15%

  American Indian/Alaska Natives = 2%

  Asian/Pacific Islanders = 1%



The comparative annual rate of child victims:

  decreased steadily from 15.3 victims per 1,000 children in 1993

  to 11.8 victims per 1,000 children in 1999;

  then increased to 12.2 per 1,000 children in 2000.

Whether this is a trend cannot be determined until additional data are collected.

      <description>The town where fsa claim a &quot;massacre&quot; after SAA attacked the terrorist positions in the village.

 

All young men, none are tied, no weapons seen, bullet holes on several parts; 1 have several in chest, 2 at least have them close to the knee etc.

Judge for yourself. As always when fsa scream &quot;massacre&quot; its always young men in fighting age who are dead. It makes no sense.

      <title>Gun control: Los Angeles to ban large-capacity clips (sic)</title>

      <description>The Los Angeles City Council voted Friday to ban the possession of ammunition clips that carry more than 10 rounds, closing what they called a loophole in state law but facing a possible legal challenge from the gun lobby.

Councilman Paul Krekorian said the city proposal fills what he described as a loophole in state law that already bans the sale and importation of large-capacity magazines. The new city proposal would include a ban on possession of such clips.

&quot;We all remember when a gunman walked in to the North Valley Jewish Community Center and fired off 70 rounds at children,&quot; Krekorian said as he held up pictures of police officers leading children out of the facility. He was referring to a 1999 incident in which a white supremacist walked into the JCC and opened fire with a semi-automatic gun, wounding five people including three children.

&quot;Just a few months ago, we had a strikingly similar image in Newtown, Conn. It is time for this country to act to stand up to do something about ultra-violent weapons. The state has banned the sale and transfer of these, but not done anything about possession.&quot;

The California Gun Foundation has said it was looking at a legal challenge to the proposal.

Councilmen Mitch Englander and Dennis Zine, both of whom serve as reserve officers, said they support the proposal - which exempts police officers - because of the need for public safety.

&quot;I have received letters from gun rights groups and advocates who are concerned this is an overstep of our authority,&quot; Englander said. &quot;I tell them this is not about taking their guns away, it is about limiting the number of bullets that can be fired.&quot;

Zine held up a 15-round clip used by LAPD officers and clicked out the bullets, saying the proposal is the correct approach.

&quot;No one needs more than 10 bullets to protect their families,&quot; Zine said. &quot;We are not doing anything to prevent people from owning guns. We are doing what is reasonable.&quot;

      <title>Darrell Issa - Car thief, arsonist, scam artist - now in charge of investigating President Obama </title>

      <description>.
.
 http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...?currentPage=1 



highlights from the article:



...At 2:35 A.M. on September 7, 1982, the phone rang in Issa's house. 
The Quantum and Steal Stopper office and factory was on fire. Issa got 
dressed and drove the seven miles from his house, in Oakwood Village, to
 his workplace, in Maple Heights. He arrived by 3 A.M., to find blue 
flames shooting from holes in the roof. Four fire engines, a helicopter,
 and forty-three firefighters from three departments responded to the 
alarm. When the firemen entered the building, they encountered black 
smoke so thick they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. 
The fire took three hours to bring under control...  (more on the fire 
later)



...A member of Issa's Army unit, Jay Bergey, told Williams that his most
 vivid recollection of the young Issa was that in December, 1971, Issa 
stole his car, a yellow Dodge Charger. &quot;I confronted Issa,&quot; Bergey said 
in 1998. &quot;I got in his face and threatened to kill him, and magically my
 car reappeared the next day, abandoned on the turnpike.&quot;



On March 15, 1972, three months after Issa allegedly stole Jay Bergey's 
car and one month after he left the Army for the first time, Ohio police
 arrested Issa and his older brother, William, and charged them with 
stealing a red Maserati from a Cleveland showroom.



According to court records, on December 28, 1979, William Issa arrived 
at Smythe European Motors, in San Jose, and offered to sell Darrell's 
car, a red 1976 Mercedes sedan. William was carrying an Ohio driver's 
license with his brother's name on it and the dealer gave William a 
check for sixteen thousand dollars, which he immediately cashed. Soon 
afterward, Darrell reported the car stolen from the Monterey airport. He
 later told the police that he had left the title in the trunk.



The brothers had been together in Cleveland for Christmas, and, after 
Darrell gave a series of conflicting statements about his brother and 
whether he himself had recently obtained a second driver's license, the 
investigator in the case became suspicious that the two men had 
conspired to fraudulently sell Darrell's car and then collect the 
insurance money.



The brothers were indicted for grand theft. Darrell argued that he had 
no knowledge of William's activities; William claimed that his brother 
had authorized him to sell the car, and he produced a document dated a 
few weeks before the robbery that gave him power of attorney over his 
brother's affairs. On February 15th, with the investigation ongoing, 
Darrell returned to the San Jose dealership and repurchased his car, for
 seventeen thousand dollars. In August, 1980, the prosecution dropped 
the case. Darrell insisted that he was a victim, not a criminal. William
 had produced evidence that he had the legal authority to sell the car, 
and the injured party was reimbursed...



....While the Maserati case was pending, Issa went to college. Just 
before 11 P.M. on Friday, December 1, 1972, two police officers on 
patrol in the small town of Adrian noticed Issa driving a yellow 
Volkswagen the wrong way down a one-way street. The police pulled him 
over, and, as Issa retrieved the car registration, an officer saw 
something peculiar in the glove compartment. He searched it, and, 
according to the police report, found a .25-calibre Colt automatic 
inside a box of ammunition, along with a &quot;military pouch&quot; that contained
 &quot;44 rounds of ammo and a tear gas gun and two rounds of ammo for it.&quot; 
Issa was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. The policeman asked 
why he was armed. &quot;He stated in Ohio you could carry a gun as long as 
you had a justifiable reason,&quot; the report said. &quot;His justifiable reason 
was for his car's protection and his.&quot; Issa pleaded guilty to the lesser
 charge of possession of an unregistered gun. He paid a small fine and 
was sentenced to six months' probation...



He started his car-alarm empire by acquiring the Steal Stopper brand in 
what was essentially a hostile takeover. A man named Joey B. Adkins 
owned the company, and Issa loaned him sixty thousand dollars. When 
Adkins was late on a payment, Issa went to court and foreclosed on the 
loan. Two days later, Adkins told me, Issa called and said that he 
wanted Adkins to come visit him at his new office. He gave Adkins the 
address of Steal Stopper. &quot;I just took your company,&quot; Adkins recalled 
him saying...



Once in control, Issa allegedly used an unusual method to fire Jack 
Frantz, an employee. Frantz told the Los Angeles Times that Issa came 
into his office, placed a box on the table, and opened it to reveal a 
gun. Issa told the paper, &quot;Shots were never fired. If I asked Jack to 
leave, then I think I had every right to ask Jack to leave. . . . I 
don't recall  . I really don't. I don't think I ever pulled
 a gun on anyone in my life.&quot;



Issa was soon suspected of doing something worse: burning down the 
factory. The initial notion that an electrical socket had caused the 
fire was challenged. The science of determining whether a fire was 
caused by arson can be flawed. But a fire-analysis report commissioned 
by the St. Paul insurance company, and dated October 19, 1982, a month 
after the incident, concluded that the fire was &quot;incendiary.&quot; The report
 cited &quot;suspicious burn patterns,&quot; such as &quot;two separate major areas of 
origin,&quot; and it said, &quot;No accidental source of heating power was located
 at either of these two major areas of origin.&quot; The manner in which 
stacks of cardboard boxes burned was inconsistent with an accidental 
fire. A flammable liquid appeared to have been poured over the boxes. 
The blue flames seen emanating from the roof were evidence, according to
 the investigators, of burning carbon monoxide that is produced when an 
accelerant like gasoline ignites. The black smoke was also a clue. &quot;Such
 black smoke normally occurs in a fire only when a hydrocarbon is 
burning,&quot; the report said. When investigators tested burn damage from 
inside the factory, they found &quot;the same identical mixture of flammable 
hydrocarbons&quot; in four samples taken from diverse locations.



St. Paul sought out background information on Issa and his companies. 
Investigators interviewed family members, bank officials, and former 
employees. They looked into Issa's court and credit records, mortgage 
documents, and other personal information.



Joey Adkins, the former owner of Steal Stopper, provided the main 
evidence against Issa. On the afternoon of September 20, 1982, in a 
lengthy recorded interview with an insurance investigator, he described a
 series of suspicious actions by Issa before the fire. Adkins, who still
 worked for Steal Stopper, said that Issa removed the company's Apple II
 computer from the building, including &quot;all hardware, all software, all 
the instruction books,&quot; and also &quot;the discs for accounts payable, 
accounts receivable, customer list, everything.&quot; According to Adkins, 
Issa also transferred a copy of every design used by Steal Stopper from a
 filing cabinet to a fireproof box. He also said that Issa put in the 
box some important silk screens used in the production of circuit 
boards. Insurance officials noted that, less than three weeks before the
 fire, Issa had increased his insurance from a hundred thousand dollars 
to four hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. &quot;Quite frankly,&quot; Adkins 
told the investigator, &quot;I feel the man set the fire.&quot;...



...The insurance company, meanwhile, had found something peculiar about 
Issa, unrelated to the arson: there was no indication of where his 
initial capital came from. After interviewing a family member, an 
investigator reported, &quot;She was unable to advise us as to his financial 
banking   to become an officer in Quantum Inc.&quot; A second report 
noted, &quot;We were unable to find the source of his financing for the 
business ventures he is engaged in at the present time.&quot;...



...in 2003, Issa, who was now worth more than a hundred million dollars,
 funded the recall of the state's governor, Gray Davis. It was an 
ambitious project. Davis, who had been elected to a second term six 
months earlier, had not committed an impeachable offense; he simply had 
become unpopular. Issa planned to run for governor and replace Davis, 
but once again reporters started to look into his past. They took 
particular interest in the story of his brother stealing his car, and 
again questioned Issa's truthfulness...



&quot;Darrell's sensitive about fixating too much on his past,&quot; Bardella 
said. &quot;Obviously, the stuff that happened . . .&quot; His voice trailed off. 
&quot;We can talk about it, as well we should. It is part of his past, but it
 does make him somewhat wary.&quot;...





...I wanted to know about the troubles in his past: the gun conviction, 
the three allegations of car theft, the arson allegation, the allegation
 that he dismissed an employee while brandishing a gun, and the 
mysteries about his finances. These are matters he avoids discussing at 
length with the press, and, as we got into the details, he joked that it
 might be less painful if I would &quot;just twiddle the toes.&quot;



Issa seemed tired of defending himself from these old stories...



...A few days after we met in Las Vegas, Issa called me. He was 
concerned about all my questions regarding his early life and didn't see
 why they were newsworthy. The conversation was awkward. I told him that
 there was one more question I wanted him to answer: Where did you get 
the money for your start in business? The issue had stumped the 
insurance investigators, and William had, somewhat mysteriously, told me
 that his brother &quot;would lend people money and get money back that way 
when he was in the service. He would buy and sell cars sometimes. He 
would get cars at a very good price, keep them, and sell them.&quot;



There was a pause on the phone. &quot;That's sort of an amazing one to ask,&quot; 
Issa said. He took a deep breath, and then carefully and patiently 
explained that, before he started at Quantum, he sold a BMW motorcycle 
and two cars-his Mercedes and his wife's 1967 Volkswagen Bug. &quot;We 
liquidated everything we could to raise money,&quot; he said. He added that 
he also borrowed fifty thousand dollars from family members to make the 
first loan to Adkins. Issa seemed frustrated and exhausted. &quot;Everyone,&quot; 
he said, &quot;has a past.&quot;

this is the guy who called the obama administration the most corrupt in history?

this is the guy who's in charge of the committee to investigate obama?



...this guy is nothing but a common criminal.

i'm glad the new yorker is exposing him.</description>

We can war at a molecular level and flip atomic switches in plutonium metal, although we have regarded our own molecular science as being 95% Junk. That's right every biologist and geneticist knows the phrase   Junk DNA  , and they have been trained to cut this DNA bi-product or insulation from the petri dish as they commence in doing their normal examinations of heredity and.... eye color. Following the ten years and four million in funding known as the Human Genome Project (2001-2010), essentially drawing a map of the human molecular structure and identifying it's points, other types of testing has been conducted. Miraculously 2012 proved to be the year that definitive results were had regarding behavioral actions and conscious decision making in relation to genetic level results and changes. To put this simply, that the choices we make in life, affect our genetics, and affect our kids genetics, as to make physical material changes in our physical life based on our rights and our wrongs and everything in between. A highly complex and calculated system of science that is a realization that instead of junk we are so much more complicated than the anatomy poster at the doctors office would have you think. In addition to this activity there are studies that present DNA storage capabilities. Philosophical ideas meet genetics as human and animal genetic testing shows us that we are born with a incredible amount of information as to knowing how to bury holes, eat food, find food and certain food types, and so much more. The signs point to realities in independent human progression based on conscious and good decision making, as biblical as that may sound.</description>
