Perfect attendance pays off

Perfect attendance is a rare accomplishment for most students. It takes planning and preparation, with illnesses and bad weather to contend with from time to time, to make it in to school every day on time. But for those who achieve it, it's nice to be recognized for the effort. Dale Shaner wanted to do that for USD 428 students. He had an idea, and after sharing it with his wife, Karen, and some friends, the group put the idea into action.

Those asking why Rhee isn't under indictment just like her former colleague in Atlanta are missing the bigger question: If she's ...

Business actually has to make sense -- Argus Hamilton

BEVERLY HILLS - God bless America, and how's everybody? President Obama addressed an Internet convention in Michigan on Thursday where he urged the computer and software industry to use their huge profits to hire more workers. His plea fell on deaf ears.
