Same old story on road money
PilotOnline.com / Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500
It's almost back to Square One for lawmakers responsible for solving the commonwealth's transportation woes. Now that even Gov. Bob McDonnell's slapdash combo of tolls, general fund diversions and naming rights for highways, byways, bridges and tunnels appears all but doomed, lawmakers are again facing the prospect of doing this year what they've done for so many others: Nothing substantial.

Measure results, not intentions

By Jeff McWaters The push to start public schools before Labor Day is based on the very best intentions: better student performance and enhanced competitiveness as a result of starting classes a little earlier. If we judge the idea based purely on its intentions, it's a no-brainer.

Speak up now, Norfolk parents

Norfolk residents had an opportunity this week to tell the School Board what they want in a new superintendent. Although about 170 people attended a meeting Tuesday to discuss the division's goals, including how to engage the community, only nine people showed up that night at two meetings to discuss the superintendent.

Those who run the Komen foundation, and make a mighty good thing of it, too, sound confused in the worst way: morally confused.

Save lives: Make texting a primary offense in all 50 states
Five seconds. It does not seem like much time, but it is all the time needed to change a life forever. "The average time they [drivers] take their eyes off the road [to text] is five seconds. And you know how much damage you can do with two tons of metal in 5 seconds. You can travel the length of a football field in that time," said Jim O'Donnell, President and CEO of BMW North America, in Driving Home Texting Perils.

The American flag is the symbol for freedom in America and should be treated with respect.  Therefore, when an American flag becomes worn beyond repair, it should be properly disposed of.
