Granted the Seahawks have a plethora of injuries

Establish at least the threat of a run game: Finding yourself in a lot of second and 11s and third and eights is exactly not what a balanced offense is about.Granted, the Seahawks have a plethora of injuries. But at some point, we have to stop making excuses and feeling sorry for ourselves. If we keep losing because we are old and banged up, maybe its time to tear down and rebuild.I'm not saying that's the case, as it is week two and we are tied for second place But honestly, realize the facts as they come.1 Seattle is not a good road team.2. San Francisco is a very physical team, the Hawks aren't at that level yet.3.

You can't expect to be prolific winners when the core of your team is past their prime and are part of a prior system.That's why you can't be shocked Seattle lost this game.Next week we have the Bears, who just knocked off the Steelers at Soldier, at Qwest It's time for the veterans to find themselves again. It's time for the players to put up, so the fans can shut up.Next Up: Chicago Bears (1-1) Is there an echo in hereDenver Bronco Watch: Ugh 27-6 over the Browns This is the high of their season It all snowballs downhill after this. After the Raiders next week they play New England, at San Diego, at Baltimore, Pittsburgh, at Washington, San Diego, and the G-Men.Hahahahahaha McDaniels to walk the plank Hahahahahaha I love it!. Campaign for High School Equity Statement on the Role of Education Reform inthe American Recovery and Reinvestment ActWASHINGTON, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ The Campaign for High SchoolEquity (CHSE) acknowledges the necessity of the American Recovery andReinvestment Act and commends President Obama and Congress for moving quicklyto address the nation's economic challenges. The civil rights coalition ispleased that the Act provides much-needed relief for states to help allstudents, including students of color and youth from low-income neighborhoods,stay on the path to high school graduation.Notably, the House-passed and Senate committee-passed bills containrequirements that move toward holding schools, school districts and statesaccountable for student achievement.

The provisions that require states todevelop and use longitudinal data systems and improve assessments for Englishlanguage learners (ELLs) and children with disabilities are important steps. We are pleased to see that the Senate bill included a provision to encouragestates to align their state standards with college- and work-readyexpectations. However, the House-passedbill takes a stronger approach to solving this problem. On their own these policies do not fully address America's education crisis.Of incoming ninth graders, only one-third will graduate with the skills theyneed to be successful in college and work.(i) Among high school graduates,students of color and low-income students are underrepresented, with somesubgroups achieving a lower than 50 percent graduation rate. And as studentsof color and ELLs continue to grow as a proportion of the total studentpopulation, improving their educational outcomes must be a national priority.CHSE is concerned that states will not target sufficient stimulus funds to thecommunities where help is needed most. "To improve student outcomes,"Wotorson continued, "we need long-term funding and policy solutions to ensurethat all students have the support they need to succeed." Even more dramatic improvements in federal support for education are needed torestore long-term economic viability. Too many American high schools fail toengage, educate and develop the young adults who should soon assume roles asbusiness and community leaders.

If we set ambitious goals for education andraise the graduation rates of students of color to the levels of whitestudents by the year 2020, and if these new graduates go on to postsecondaryeducation at similar rates, the potential increase in personal income wouldadd more than $319 billion to the American economy.(ii) Our nation's long-term economic health requires structural reforms to publiceducation U.S. A full NCLBreauthorization process during the 111th Congress is necessary to guaranteestudents of color and youth from low-income neighborhoods access to ahigh-quality high school education that prepares them for college and theworkplace. It is critical that we maintain our focus on improving educationalopportunities for all students, or we risk long-term economic decline and thecreation of a permanent underclass.CHSE is a coalition of leading civil rights organizations representingcommunities of color that is focused on high school education reform.
