In several of the largest school systems across the country -- from Baltimore to Cleveland to Atlanta and Oakland, Calif. -- half of the students are dropping out.

It is estimated that about 2,500 students drop out of U.S. high schools every day.

Punch line!!! Typically high school dropouts earn $19,000 a year. High school graduates earn $28,000 a year on average.

Хм, а я и не понимал, что самые способные люди у нас идут в директора районо.

At the top was Gary Catalani, superintendent of Wheaton-based Community Unit School District 200, who made $380,227 last school year. Catalani, who is retiring when school ends in 2007, could not be reached for comment.

State records show Henry Bangser at New Trier Township High School District 203 made $356,500, the second highest paid. Mary Curley at Hinsdale Community Consolidated School District 181 made $321,149 last year, ranking third.

Пошел на заседание, зевнул, вывихнул челюсть, теперь рот плохо закрывается.

It (швыряние космонавтом Михаилом Тюриным гольфового шарика в космос в рекламных целях) follows other commercial ventures at the space station that the Russian space agency has allowed, sometimes to the chagrin of NASA, such as bringing aboard paying tourists. The cash-strapped Russians also have allowed Pizza Hut to paint its logo on a rocket and have a pizza delivered to the space station. And it once charged PepsiCo $5 million to have cosmonauts float a replica of a soda can outside the Mir space station. NASA has taken a grin-and-bear-it attitude.

Правильно! Теперь русские будут всюду искать и находить, что бы сделать полезного, а мы, non-cash-strapped, будем через силу терпеть, если помешать никак не получается.
