The Oregonian reports:
Citing Oregon's track record of holding charter schools accountable for results, the U.S. Department of Education gave Oregon a $9.5 million grant Thursday to help spawn more charter schools across the state.
Oregon is one of five states chosen in the latest round of federal grants to aid charter schools, which are public schools that are free to break the mold and offer distinctive programs under a contract, or charter, with their local school board.

Alcohol may appear to be a pleasure but, taken in excess is a curse. The price of over-indulgence is a hangover the next morning. But that is only the start. Our bodies are sophisticated mechanisms, and pain is the body’s way of warning us that something is not right and that we should look to see it right. So the hangover symptoms - headache, thirst, dizziness and nausea - occur because the body’s systems have been disturbed. The body can deal with the occasional hangover and recover from it. Heavy drinking over a long period of time is another matter, causing long-term damage.
