Prior to the past school year California had no way to track every K-12 student and so was unable to accurately report the dropout rate. The reason being that a student transferring districts looks the same to the state as a student dropping out and an entirely new student entering another district. With a new way to track each student California can now report that the dropout rate for 2010 was 18.2%. As early as 8th grade the dropout rate is 3.5%. That means that upwards of 17,000 8th graders don’t make it to the 9th grade. But the dropout rates vary widely based on several factors. Continue reading

Remember Peaches Geldof? She’s Bob’s daughter and we once saw a story on Reddit from a guy she got busy with. We also got to see all of her tattoos. This week she shows off her boyfriend’s style choices and tells us the meaning of Kubrick’s 2001. Continue reading
Richard Handl is a Swedish man smart enough to obtain radioactive elements and attempt to assemble a nuclear reactor, but dumb enough to do so at home without a license from the regulatory agency in Sweden. Needless to say they would have turned down his application.
It’s hard to believe that this doesn’t violate the Blogspot terms of service, but he ran a blog chronicling his adventures which involve obtaining radium, americium, thorium, uranium and other elements.

The Central Coast area of California runs roughly from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz giving sweeping ocean views, vast areas of open grasslands, rolling hills and little secreted away hideouts where you can find the best that California has to offer. The Range is just such a place. It does not have a website, is located in Santa Margarita which is between San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, a town of less than 1,300 residents and Google Maps will misdirect you if you’re not careful. But it’s the food that make people find it despite all of that. Continue reading
If you’re easily freaked out by disturbing food related videos then you should not watch this. But then if you don’t watch it you’re a sissy. You’ve been warned. Continue reading
With only 8 months (and 3 days) to go until the first Hunger Games movie comes out the marketing machine is already spinning up. And they have some fancy Flash ads out the door already.

A brouhaha has been started because the Brooklyn Bridge Conservancy wants to have a public showing of Breakfast at Tiffany’s which contains Mickey Rooney’s mocking and over the top portrayal of a Japanese-American. The over done makeup, squinting eyes and Rooney’s accent are clearly racist, but this alone is not reason enough to not show the film. It has many redeeming qualities and the depiction of the Mr. Yunioshi character is telling of attitudes of the time and allows us to get a glimpse into the mindset of what film makers thought was appropriate at the time, which was 1961.
The following are all films that have overt racism, sexism, classism or other offenses but that you should still see. Continue reading
