Got into writing about africanamerican history in washington, d. C. Was because of barack obama and his campaign. There was a lot of interest in African American history, having the first africanamerican president in the white house. I was lucky enough to be assigned by the Associated Press to cover obama that weekend. I remember holding up pulling to the obamas townhouse in chicago thinking about what book what i write next. And right at that spot is when it hit me. I got so excited about the topic and so i immediately called my editor. Down mydiately tamped enthusiasm and told me to think about it. Really sure that i had a good idea about what i wanted to do. Brian what was the idea . Jesse the idea was to write a story about the africanamerican slaves who lived inside the white house. Was still the country talking about how great and how unique it would be if an africanamerican president lived inside the white house. I said to myself, i understand that would be great but he cannot h
22yearold cody lee is convicted of robbery. He was finishing out his jail sentence at this facility. But when he escaped friday the facility did not notify the public until two days later questions. They say its because they dont believe he and the others are a risk to the public. All three convicted felons had limited access to the community for work and other programs. The other two who escaped are right here, tucker and shepherd. Tucker is back in custody, shepherd, convicted of receiving stolen property, still on the loose, like lee. How did it happen . Unfortunately many of our clients, as im sure a lot of people in the criminal Justice System aware, are very sometimes has antisocial actions that we have to deal with. Reporter the private agency that runs the facility tells me barbed wire to this fence among other measures. Wells received the audit of this place from the Ohio Department of rehabilitation and correction and in that latest audit it says that this facility has been c
The outcry greater than ever. Joe vazquez at one of the encampments. What are you seeing out there now . That deadline has come and gone. We havent seen any city personnel. For that matter, weve not seen a lot of homeless people. You could see some tents here. There are about a dozen here in the area of san bruno and alameda but as we pan the camera around, you see a lot of sidewalk. Were told a few days ago it was wall to wall tents all the way down to division street. The Public Health department ordered people to vacate the area, saying this was a public nuisance because of all the human waste and hypodermic needles. That appeared to create a sweep, and thats why some activists decided to spend the night in tents late last week including edward linda whos running for supervisor. The fact they may consider a threat doesnt mean it solves anything. It just means that people who were sleeping on the streets moved. We checked out the other tent city in division of van ness. They had a de

It doesnt take much money to put on the table no disrespect to get president s interested in changing their ways. Im impressed with the focus you have had bringing in low income students. Is there a way to do it that does not discourage schools from reaching out and taking at risk students . That is often the critique you are going to make it less likely that you have low income, at risk students and you get punished for longer graduation times. Is there a way that risk adjusts for schools reaching out to these populations . Absolutely. We should incentivize universities to do what is right and what works and we are not doing enough of that. Idea that we would put great emphasis upon rating schools based on income levels after graduation is inherently problematic coming given the rest are dichter of a student income is their Family Income before they enroll in the first place. To do is find ways to reward institutions and reward students who are making a difference against the odds. Cu
