Jul. 17th, 2007 05:58 amWashington Post -- Then comes a lesson on how not to begin a new administration from Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee, with a big assist from Mr. Fenty. Her plan to pay two aides $200,000, exceeding a $152,686 District cap, has sparked a dust-up with the D.C. Council. She's also offering six-figure salaries to half a dozen other people on her staff. This comes after some concern over her own pay. Instead of the $250,000 first proposed, Ms. Rhee is being paid $275,000 plus a $41,250 signing bonus plus a possible performance bonus of $27,500.

Jul. 17th, 2007 07:40 amChicago Tribune -- Ross Trace and Daniel Bell, both 18, were killed in a crash after leaving the Hutsells' Summit Drive residence.
The Hutsells have pleaded not guilty to five misdemeanor charges stemming from a party hosted by their 18-year-old son in their north suburban home Oct. 13, the night of Deerfield High School's homecoming football game. If convicted, the Hutsells could face up to a year in jail, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors contend the Hutsells lied when they told police they did not see any teens drinking in their home the night of the party. Several teens told police the Hutsells saw teens drinking beer, according to police reports contained in the court file.
The Hutsells also lied, prosecutors said, when they told police that beer cans found in two plastic garbage bags were collected from their yard after being tossed there by youngsters walking across their property.
The Hutsells have been charged with two counts of attempted obstruction of justice, two counts of violating the Liquor Control Act by allowing underage drinking in their home and one count of endangering the health of a child.

Jul. 17th, 2007 08:13 amLONDON (Reuters) - A teen-ager whose teachers had stopped her wearing a "purity ring" at school to symbolize her commitment to virginity lost a High Court fight against the ban Monday.
Lydia Playfoot, 16, says her silver ring is an expression of her faith and had argued in court that it should be exempt from school regulations banning the wearing of jewelry.
"I am very disappointed by the decision this morning by the High Court not to allow me to wear my purity ring to school as an expression of my Christian faith not to have sex outside marriage," Playfoot said in a statement.

Really, it's just a mystery, all these unintended consequences, these unexpected results, the expense, the bizarre and inexplicable failure of the government to achieve its ends."
