State Takeovers Overview of State Takeovers In a state takeover, the state legislature, the state board of education or a federal court charges the state department of education or another designated entity, such as a mayor, with managing a school district.
State takeovers placing mayors in charge of school districts seem less effective for the upper grades, where the cumulative effects of many years of poor schooling are not easily reversible.
State takeovers and reconstitutions are not a silver-bullet solution, in part because of the diverse conditions prevailing in troubled school districts and schools.

 AlterNet: Who's Watching the Watch List?
The worst of it is that being put on a list of America's enemies seems to be permanent.
If you're on the list by mistake then they should take you off, if you're not on it by mistake, then they shouldn't let you fly, since after all, that seems to be the point of the list.
What's frustrating is that the no-fly list only takes into account first and last name, not middle name, date of birth, social security number, passport number, etc. So everyone with his first and last name (it's a very common name) is supposedly on the no-fly list.
