School Closings

School Closings: Officials of the Chicago Public Schools began the public on Wednesday what could come in December, when they decide which schools will be closed or consolidated. At the meeting of the Board of Education, Oliver Sicat, the new chief district officer portfolio, said there is a correlation between poor performance of schools and school buildings underused. CPS officials said they will rely on school performance as the primary factor in determining which schools to overhaul, but facility usage will also be taken into account. “What that could mean is that our parents are voting with their feet,” Sicat said. A school’s “performance level” is tallied by a complex calculation that awards points based on state test scores, student growth measures and attendance rates, among other factors. The lowest ranking, Level 3, is for schools the district has placed on probation because of poor performance. Most CPS schools on probation are concentrated on the city’s South and West Sides, where underutilized buildings were also high, according to Sicat. Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis dismissed Sicat’s presentation as an attempt to create a smoother reception for the always controversial annual school overhauls. “They’re just dragging it out and dressing it up under a different name,” Lewis said. Last year, the district announced plans to consolidate 16 schools. After public protests, four schools were spared. All new school closures or mergers are announced on December 1 as part of the law signed last month, Gov. Pat Quinn. School Closings

Libya News

Libya News: The conflict in Libya in a breaking point, Obama told reporters Sunday night he would wait until the situation in Tripoli was clear before commenting. When the rebels deeper into Libya, Tripoli and its leaders said they had captured the son of Muammar Gaddafi, Seif al Islam Gaddafi, White House aides said the president was following events closely.  “We’re going to wait until we have full confirmation of what has happened,” Obama told reporters Sunday evening on his way into Nancy’s, a seafood restaurant in Oak Bluffs. “I’ll make a statement when we do.” With news in Libya threatening to interrupt his 10-day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., White House aides said the president was receiving regular briefings on Libya, as well as the nation’s economic situation. But as much as his Republican opponents would like to begrudge him a vacation, the president golfed twice, took his girls to the beach and spent an evening with his wife at the romantic Beach Plum Inn overlooking the fishing village of Menemsha. And that was all just in the first weekend. Obama has also found time for socializing. Shortly before he made his statement to reporters Sunday evening, Obama and White House advisor Valerie Jarrett headed to the beachfront home of Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, which overlooks Vineyard Sound. After the first family’s stop at Nancy’s on Sunday, President Obama and Michelle Obama headed to the home where Jarrett is staying for what a spokesman described as a dinner with friends. After spending the day at Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark (where the family is staying), the president and Jarrett also ventured out for a party with about 100 people at the home of Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree in Oak Bluffs. Earlier this week, according to a report in the Vineyard Gazette, Ogletree moderated a panel here on race and media in the 21th century. Perhaps because of logistical and security concerns, Obama did not make an appearance at the island’s famed Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. While Republican candidates like Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined in a moveable feast across the Iowa State Fair last week sampling a corn dog and a pork chop on a stick, the president missed a chance to try Vineyard delicacies like whole pickles on a stick and buttered corn from Edgartown’s Morning Glory Farm. On Sunday, the final day of the fair, events included a women’s skillet throw and three shows of Cousin Malcolm’s Jumping Frogs – where children from the audience were selected to coax frogs, including the largest named Pee-Wee to cross the farthest distance possible in three jumps. (One pair of girls tickled their frog’s back; another team stomped behind their bullfrog; and several frogs took off on their own). The fair’s judging of the livestock had taken place earlier this week. Among the winners were Zeus and Apollo, two 11-month old Jersey Steers, and a sow and boar from Nip N Tuck Farm, who slept happily together in their pen Sunday afternoon. Even pets who did not win the blue ribbon was still on the screen - including a sow with Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs in September, and a hen named in June, which was featured on a sign on his cage as "the bravest of chicken that ever lived

Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton: He left Washington in the midst of an economic crisis in the country. The stock market was plummeting. The jobs picture was worsening. And he started his vacation by playing golf.

No, not President Obama, although he started his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard Thursday.

House Speaker John A. Boehner, the nation’s top Republican, left Washington on Aug. 2, literally moments after Mr. Obama signed the debt-limit deal into law.

Since then, some courses and a series of fundraisers for him and his fellow Republicans, but not a moment in Washington, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for the office of Mr. Boehner, said that "the President issued a few days ago Ohio right after the agreement of personal debt, which has been and will be on the road the rest of the month a group of friends on the Republican side. Of course, being the speaker of the House is not the same as holding the White House, and presidents of both parties are often subject to criticism for the timing or location of their vacations Mr. Obama has been receiving a great deal for both. His summer trips to Martha’s Vineyard have come under attack for the past two summers, as did Bill Clinton’s visits there. And George W. Bush was often criticized for the amount of time he spent away from the White House. And Mr. Boehner has not been one of the Republican voices criticizing the president’s annual vacation. A scan of Mr. Boehner’s tweets from his speaker’s office and his campaign office finds no snarky asides about how Mr. Obama should stay in Washington rather than relaxing by the beach. But neither has there been any indication that Mr. Boehner is satisfied with the organized effort to embarrass fellow Republicans, Obama is about to become fashionable on the island for 10 days.
