I hope this is a permanent end to this foolishness. Dumbing down our education standards is not theRead More way to improve our schools and will diminish the effect of more funding for schools.

Try the Powerline Trail next. It's pretty quiet (not many cyclists, a few walkers) so not as muchRead More activity to watch, but you won't have to worry about your tail getting run over by a fast cyclist! Our favorite part is from the Sammamish River Trail to where it hits 166th on Education Hill.

The railroad tracks make a nice walk, too. Peaceful, good for bird watching and lots of things toRead More sniff at.

Christie - Yes - The Media reported unemployment Rate does not include people who have used up allRead More of their unemployment benefits yet still do not have a job. Also much of the challenge for the economy in providing large number of good paying jobs is a structural problem going back 30 years - This short video does an excellent job of describing the challenge of an economy that cannot produce enough middle class jobs: http://www.nytimes.com/video/2012/01/21/business/100000001299945/the-iphone-economy.html?scp=2&sq=the%20iphone%20economy&st=cse
