"6 Harvard endowment managers earn $26.9m" by Steven Syre, Globe Staff | December 20, 2008

Six top money managers of Harvard University's endowment, which has lost $8.1 billion since the summer, earned $26.9 million in compensation in its most recent fiscal year, the university said yesterday.

The five highest-paid executives at Harvard Management Co., the university's endowment investment arm, earned between $3.9 million and $6.4 million each for their performance during the fiscal year that ended June 30. Mohamed El-Erian, who resigned as president of Harvard Management at the end of 2007, earned $921,000....

While the thing was tanking and losing billions?

At Harvard Management, compensation of top executives has been a source of controversy for years. Two Harvard money managers earned more than $34 million each in 2003, under a performance-based compensation system that drew fire from critics who complained the pay was out of line for a university....

I think it is OUT of LINE for ANYBODY!!!!!

Oh, yeah, and what ejerkashen, er, indoctrination, er, inculcation, I mean brain-wash, I'm sorry, I mean EDUCATION is supposed to be about OUR KIDS, right?

"In tough times, the ranks of homeless students are rising; Some districts report increases up to 100 percent" by Evelyn Nieves, Associated Press | December 21, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO - As foreclosures and layoffs force families out of their homes, school districts across the nation are struggling to deal with a dramatic increase in the number of homeless children.

Yeah, THANKS for the MORTGAGE BAILOUT, you lying, looting sacks of sh**!!!!!

Some districts are seeing increases of 50 to 100 percent or more and are so understaffed that it is taking weeks to help the homeless students and families who need it, according to a new survey on homeless children. Educators say students without a stable home are at greater risk of becoming truants, developing behavioral problems, and failing in school....

All the better to DRAFT and train to KILL!!!!

Some families end up in shelters, or staying with relatives or friends. Others stay in run-down motels or their cars. In cities where rents are high, such as San Francisco, a family that loses its home may spend months or years trying to find another....

Meanwhile, RICHERS like Madoff have three, four, five?

Although the US Department of Education is still tallying the number of homeless students for the 2007-08 school year, all indications point to a problem with no end in sight, said John McLaughlin, coordinator of the Department of Education's homeless assistance program for school districts. "All across the board," he said, "in every state we got information from, there were some pretty big increases in homeless students."

The primary reasons for the surge are increasing joblessness and the foreclosure crisis, according to local and national homeless advocacy organizations.

Translation: AmeriKa HATES ITS KIDS!!!

"You've got dramatic foreclosures plus a million job losses," said Philip Mangano, director of the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, the administration's lead organization for addressing homeless issues. "We would have to be naive to believe that this wouldn't have an effect on families already struggling, and it has."

Yup, NO TARP FOR YOU, America!!! Let's just IMPOVERISH YOUR CHILDREN for WHATEVER EVIL REASON!! WAR 'EM UP or let the USELESS EATERS!!!
