Education funding ruling stirs glee, concern locally

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Admin

Local legislators and school officials roundly applauded a Thursday decision by the Washington Supreme Court to force the state to fully pay for public education. But none thought the landmark case would ease school districts’ short-term financial pains.

And the court decision will likely complicate upcoming budget negotiations, lawmakers said.

A coalition of teachers, school districts, community groups and parents sued the state in King County Superior Court four years ago, alleging that the state had not met its constitutional mandate to fully fund basic K-12 education. The coalition won that case, but the state appealed. The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld key portions...

Thinking About Importing a PS Vita? Consider this…

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Admin

The PS Vita, thank the heavens, is region free when it comes to physical media. That means, for those out there importing Sonys new handheld, that youll be able to play physical games from Japan when your device and the software you imported arrives. In fact, any user with any PS Vita will be able to play any physical copy of any game from anywhere in the world (any, any, any, any, any!).

However, for digital content that can be purchased through the PlayStation Store on the device, the PS Vita is region locked. The PlayStation Store associates users with their sign-in accounts. In order to access the North American flavor of the PlayStation Store on your PlayStation 3 or PSP, youll...

San Telmo

San Telmo is the oldest barrio (neighborhood) in Buenos Aires. It is home to the antique fair. I would recommend visiting on Sunday when this area truly comes to life.

Rojo Tango In Puerto Madero

Rojo Tango is an intimate dinner and show located in Puerto Madero. This was the Hyatt’s recommendation. We skipped the dinner and went just for the show. If you go for the dinner you will likely get better seats. Puerto Madero is a planned urban community along the waterfront. This is a short taxi ride from the Hyatt. If you go to a show and are looking for a nice restaurant, ask the sommelier, he certainly knows his wine lists. The Hyatt concierge was very helpful...
