In the first of a three part series the Associated Press takes a look at the massive budget cuts that are affecting our public schools.
The cuts are affecting public schools all over the U.S., forcing the layoff of thousands of teachers and cutting into school programs.
Larger class sizes, canceled summer schools and reductions or eliminations of anything that is not a core subject are about to become the norm
In California alone, 23,000 teachers are being laid off.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan is seeking 23 billion dollars in emergency funds from Congress in an effort to limit the damage.
"We can't afford 150-300,000 teachers on unemployment rolls," he says. We want Congress to take action now. This is not something they can debate for 4-5 months then do something in September or October, it's too late."
This is the future of our country we're talking about. If we can afford to pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we should be able to afford bigger budgets to take care of our public schools.

The son of legendary TV newsman Ted Koppel was found dead in a Washington Heights apartment under mysterious circumstances yesterday morning after a daylong drinking binge with a man he had just met in a Midtown bar, law-enforcement sources said.
Andrew Koppel, 40, of Rockaway Park, Queens, was declared dead at around 1:30 a.m. after paramedics were called to the rundown apartment in what a law-enforcement source called a "s- - - building" on 180th Street at Audubon Avenue, where he had been found unconscious and not breathing in a bedroom, the sources said
Andrew Koppel Died In This Room
Koppel -- who was an attorney for the city Housing Authority -- was a slobbering mess when he was brought to the apartment at around 11 p.m. by Russell Wimberly, a 32-year-old waiter he had met at a Hell's Kitchen bar nearly 12 hours earlier.
Koppel "was just really messed up when he came in. He was very drunk," said Belinda Caban, 53, who lives at the apartment.
Caban, who called Wimberly a drinking buddy, told The Post: "I didn't understand anything [Koppel] said. We took him to the bedroom and laid him down to rest."
After a couple of hours, she and Wimberly discovered he had urinated and defecated in the bed and appeared not to be breathing. They called 911.
"His complexion wasn't right. It was pale. I said to call the police," Caban said. "When the ambulance came, they said he was dead."
No one has been charged, and the medical examiner has yet to determine a cause of death.
Koppel -- who lived with his girlfriend and their baby daughter -- began his bender at around noon at Smith's Bar & Restaurant at 44th Street and Ninth Avenue when he befriended Wimberly.
"He had a straw hat on, and I had one on, and he said, 'Nice hat, man,' " Wimberly recalled. "We got to talking, and he started buying me drinks."
Koppel drank straight whiskey and suggested they move from bar to bar, Wimberly said.
As they walked, Koppel sipped from a pint bottle of Jameson, Wimberly said.
"There was a lot of alcohol. He didn't take anything else [drugs] around me, and neither of us ate all day," he said. "We talked about our kids . . . He said he had a kid and loved [her] a lot."
Eventually, they took a taxi up to Caban's apartment, stopping at a liquor store to pick up a bottle of whiskey and beer.
Koppel "wasn't feeling good. I told him to lay down and turn the light off. He was snoring really loud. I thought he was out," Wimberly said.
Koppel was the third youngest of Ted Koppel's four children with his wife, Grace Anne. He was their only son.
His father, former anchor of ABC's "Nightline," could not be reached for comment.
Andrew Koppel's oldest sister, Andrea, a former CNN correspondent, declined to comment. His younger sister, Tara, was spotted weeping at her Manhattan apartment. She also didn't want to talk.
Andrew Koppel was convicted in 1993 of punching out a senatorial aide in a drunken dust-up in DC and was ordered into alcohol treatment. Three years earlier, he got into a drunken fender bender while driving his father's Mercedes in their home state of Maryland.

Actress Kristen Stewart has become a household name and sex symbol thanks to her role as Bella in the 'Twilight' movie series.
This month she covers the UK edition of Elle magazine.
She plays the role of reluctant star in her interview with the mag. Complaining about her lack of privacy and constant questions about her possible romantic relationship with 'Twilight' co-star Robert Pattinson.
"It really bothers me when people write nasty s*** about me and the perception is that I don’t give a f***. It could not be further from the truth," she rants.
People always ask me if I'm dating Robert [Pattinson]. Why would I want anything that's private to become entertainment for other people?"
Kristen admits she wasn't prepared for the success of the vampire flick.
“With Twilight, we never thought it was going to be so huge; we never even thought we’d do a second, let alone a third.”
Judging from her comments you would think that being famous is the worst possible thing that could have happened to her.
"What you don’t see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction. All you see is an actor or a celebrity lit up by a flash.
"A lot of the time I can’t handle it. It’s f***ed. I never expected that this would be my life."
It's too late now Kristen, you're a movie star, might as well get used to it.

Brooklyn's Joell Ortiz now has one of the most recognizable call-outs in hip-hop. If you're not familiar, after his mixtape drops this month, you'll be saying: "Yaowa!"
"I got so many meanings of yaowa, it's crazy," Ortiz laughed. "First, it's used as a term of endearment for dudes around my way. How you say, 'What up?' We say, 'Yaowa!' It came from my man Smash. Shout to Smash. He used to be really drunk around the way. It's a distance between the buildings. He used to be saying, 'Yo, what up?' But he'd be so drunk, it sounded like he was saying, 'Yawhuhup?' He'd be twisted. I just turned it into yaowa. Every time I get on a beat, I say, 'Yaowa,' before I rap on it. Then I started playing around with it and turned it into [meaning]: 'you're actually one world away.' I be feeling like my flow is not of Earth. I zone out, become an alien with it. On another freestyle, I said, 'I'll put you in a hospital because my flow is so sick.' That's 'your ass on wild anesthetics.' I just be spazzin' out with the yaowa. But it's a term of endearment around my way."
Joell's new mixtape is named after his favorite word and hosted by DJ Green Lantern and Don Cannon. "Its called Yaowa. Green Lantern is hosting it along with Don Cannon. We been tossing around ideas," Ortiz said. "We didn't really get to the meat of it. But we have a few ideas to see how we gonna make it classic. Don Cannon's got some ideas, Green Lantern's got some ideas. I think we gonna make it a good one.
"Green kinda hooked that up," Joell added about how the Evil Genius and Cannon got involved. "Me and Green was hollering, he said it would be a good idea to hook up with Cannon. Cannon was like, 'That's nothing. I been fiending to do something like that.' So we running a triangle offense with this tape."
Lantern and Green will have the primary production on the mixtape, but Joell said he's open to submissions from everyone — as long as the tracks are hot. As for big-name guest appearances, which have become customary with tapes from Fabolous, Jadakiss, T.I. and Young Jeezy this year, the Slaughterhouse member said he hasn't thought about it yet.
"I'm just thinking about zoning out," he said. "I'm not thinking about who I'm reaching out to. I'm not thinking about who to bring to the tape. I'm just thinking about making a really, really good tape. Letting people know who Joell Ortiz is one more time. This time with Green Lantern and Don Cannon. Just rapping, that's what I do the best. I rap. I'm concerning myself with rippin' this tape and getting some good feedback on it."

Let's face it watching the local weather is usually about as interesting as watching an L.A. Clippers game. That is until Nick Kosir of Beaumont, Texas' Fox 4 started spitting rhymes as The Rapping Weatherman.
Now you can laugh your ass off while deciding whether or not you will need an umbrella for the day.
Dude even has a Facebook page set up for his fans.
Check him out rhyming over Young Money's "Roger That" below, lmao.

LilWayneHQ: Tell us about yourself STREETRUNNER? How long have you been producing for, and what made you get into this career?
STREETRUNNER: I been making beats since 1998. I started out a DJ until I got a EMU sp1200 and then that pretty much ended my DJ career. I rocked on the sp1200 for about a year and then graduated to a akai mpc 2000xl. I landed my first major placement in 2003 with Fat Joe’s Terror Sqaud billboard charting single “Take Me Home”. I later went onto sign with Terror Squad for a year and continued to grind it out and get placements. I have placed tracks on artist albums such as Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, LL Cool J, Slaughter House, Birdman, Fabolous and many more.
LWHQ: Name some of the songs you have done for Lil Wayne that we have probably heard, but not know you produced them?
SR: Shit… I got a gang of tracks that leaked during Tha Carter 3 leaks. “Talk It Over”, “1 Night Only”, “Trouble”, “Rapapompom” F/ Junior Reid, “Do It Again”, “Young Money Cash Money” F/ Brisco, “Pray To The Lord”, “1 Arm” F/ Juelz Santana (I Can’t Feel My Face leak), “Yeah” (Rebirth leak) and I’m sure a few that I don’t even know about. I did land “Gossip” on Tha Leak EP and also on the deluxe edition of Tha Carter 3. I produced “Playin With Fire” on Tha Carter 3 and I also co-produced “Ground Zero” with Infamous on “Rebirth”. I got a few tracks on hold for Tha Carter 4 so there is much more to come.
LWHQ: How did you get in contact with Lil Wayne, and have you ever been in the studio with him? What was that experience like if so?
SR: The first time I met Weezy was when I was working on Fat Joe’s album Me, Myself and I. Macho and my dude Safe were chillin’ with me at the Hit Factory parking lot waiting for Joe, and Wayne came out and Macho introduced me. Lucky for me my dude Safe had one of my beat CDs in his car and I was able to pass it to him. Within a hour of passing him the beat CD my manager got a call that Wayne wanted two beats from the CD for Tha Carter 3. Later that night I went up to Weezy’s studio session with Joe and he played us the records he made on my two tracks and Joe went nuts. I was like damn I just passed you this CD… I knew at that point we were going to make a lot of music in the future. The next day I went back to Hit Factory and hit him wit another ten beats. I haven’t stopped hitting him with heat since. I actually worked on one record with Junior Reid and Lil Wayne in the studio. Wayne just circled the room a few times while the beat was playin’ and then jumped in the booth and put his verses down. I also been in the studio several times with him to vibe on tracks or hear new music he’s made on my tracks. He’s real cool and down to earth dude…
LWHQ: You got awarded a GRAMMY for Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III album, for a track you produced on there called “Playin’ With Fire”. How did that feel?
SR: That was nuts! I definitely wasn’t thinking Grammy while I was working on the C3 project. It was crazy that the album went platinum in a week to me but when it became a Grammy award winning album, shit got real.
LWHQ: Did you do any work on Weezy’s previous rock album, Rebirth?
SR: I did four records that I know of for Rebirth. A record I co-produced with Infamous called “Ground Zero” made it on the album. I also co-produced another record with Infamous but due to lyrical content it could not be on the that album, but might make a different album. I also co-produced a record with Blackout Movement that never made the album but was a monster, and a record I did solo called “Yeah” that leaked.
LWHQ: Do you have, or are you working on any new projects that we should be looking out for?
SR: I’m working on my first artist on Run The Streets named AdELA. She’s a female R&B/Pop/Hip Hop artist from Miami by way of Africa. The single we are pushing now is titled “Just Feel It” and is featuring Lil Wayne. I also have placements coming out this year on The Game RED album, Twista, Juelz Santana, Fat Joe, Jamie Foxx, Lil Waynes Carter 4 and a few others.
LWHQ: We heard you did a ‘crazy’ track for Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV album? Tell us about that… what’s the sound like, could it be a single, features, autotune etc?
SR: I did a really dope joint for the ladies with a soulful sample track that has a feature on the hook. I don’t want to go into to many details about the record cause some internet monster might find it and try to leak it. I got another record that my dude wrote the hook on that almost feels like a Jay Z “What More Can I Say” type track. I think I got 1 other record that’s pending along with those two so I just gotta see what’s up. I will say Weezy is spitting that shit over my tracks and they are 100% Hip Hop.
LWHQ: Have you heard any other material from Tha Carter IV? Or who Wayne has collaborated with on there?
SR: I heard a few joints… It’s definitely what the fans want. He’s just rapping and going hard on it. I think I heard maybe one rocked out track but the majority was rap/Hip Hop tracks. It should be another classic.
LWHQ: Do you know what sound style Wayne has used on the whole album (Tha Carter II, Tha Carter III, Rebirth, soulful, dark etc)?, and you think we will be getting the first single this Summer?
SR: Its a well rounded album… I’m not sure what their plans are for the album as far as releasing singles. I heard they want to try to drop C4 close to his release from prison. All the tracks I heard were going hard. Some soul, some south, some dark and a lil rock…
LWHQ: Lil Wayne has said Tha Carter IV will be released as soon as he gets out of jail… do you think Wayne will re-do the whole album when he gets out, and do you think the album will sell more copies than Tha Carter III did?
SR: I really don’t know how he’s going to feel after serving his sentence. It would definitely be dope if they dropped on the day of or near the day of his release, but that’s my opinion. Wayne and his team are going to do what they wanna do so we all just have to wait and see what happens. As for album sales, what C3 did in its first week was amazing, that might be a one time thing but you never know.
LWHQ: Have you worked with anyone from Young Money Entertainment or Cash Money Records?
SR: I produced a record on the 5 Star Stunna album that Birdman put out the record was called “Grind” F/ Lil Wayne and Brisco. I’ve also done records w Jae Millz and Gudda Gudda that have not released yet
LWHQ: Who would you like to work with from Young Money and Cash Money that you have not worked with so far?
SR: I was tryin’ hard at the top of the year to get a record on Drakes album and came really close but no luck. He’s maybe the main dude would like to produce a record for on a album.
LWHQ: Which other music artists in the game right now would love to collaborate with?
SR: T.I. Is at the top of my list, but also Jay Z and Andre 3000 are right behind him. I also would love to do a record on a Beyonce or Mary J Blige album. I’m on my grind steady though so it’s all very possible.
LWHQ: How do you feel about Lil Wayne’s prison sentence? And do you think the music game is missing him right now?
SR: I feel like they were tryin’ to make a example out of him. So honestly speaking I feel like the prison sentence is bullshit. I know everybody is missing him (fans, friends and family). I definitely miss the dude… He’s motivational for me and my music.
LWHQ: Any last words, websites or shouts outs you would like to leave the readers with?
SR: Check out my artist AdELA… Her new single “Just Feel It” that I produced available now on iTunes. You can also follow both of us on twitter @adelamusic and @SRbeats. Shout outs to Spliffington Management my team ILO, Rugah Rahj, Infamous, Blackout Movement, Smash, Big Mike and High Capacity Management. Be on the look out for more SR heat soon!
LWHQ: Thanks for your time STREETRUNNER, we appreciate you giving us this interview. Everybody at LilWayneHQ would like to wish you the best of luck in the future.
Coming soon!
Dropping soon!

It's probably not all that happy of a Memorial Day in rapper Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke's crib today. As one of his daughter's has thrown him under the bus.
Lecresha Campbell, who appeared on her dad's show "Luke's Parental Advisory" says among other things that he doesn't acknowledge his own kids and that he physically abused and shot her mom in the leg.
"He even like shot her [mother] in the leg I think."
I would hope Lecresha isn't making all of this up, but she does plug her own show in the video and is obviously reading from pre-scripted notes
I would also think it would be pretty much impossible to shoot a woman in the leg and not have the police kicking down your door soon after.
I guess we'll have to wait for her tv show or next video to get the rest of the story.

Below you'll find two rips of each mixtape, one in MP3 (320 kbps) and the other in FLAC. If you're not familar with the FLAC format, check out this FAQ. iTunes and Windows Media Player doesn't allow you to play FLAC files, so you'll need to use an alternative,( Recommending ) Using one of these free programs: Winamp Lite, VLC Player or Foobar2000. And if you're looking to burn these to an audio CD to play in your car or stereo, try
CDBurnerXP (supports Vista & 7, not just XP).
[FLAC keeps the music in the exact same quality you'd find on the original CD, whereas with MP3 you lose alot of the quality. If you've got a decent system in your car, I think you'll grow to love the higher quality rips.]

Don't expect a Lady Gaga and M.I.A collaboration anytime soon.
For the second time in the last several months, the British singer criticizes Gaga for her lack of originality.
In an interview with the New York Times, M.I.A she actually sounds like she despises the "Telephone" singer.
The comparisons to Madonna and the constant chatter that Lady Gaga has become a cultural icon don't sit well with M.I.A.
“You can’t really say that Gaga is culturally a change,” she said. “Madonna was truly unique.”
Romain Gavras, the director of M.I.A.'s controversial new video "Born Free" added. “And Madonna was pretty,” he said. “Pop stars should be pretty.”
On the subject of "Born Free", M.I.A compared it to Gaga's video for "Telephone".
“With our video, we were really copying ‘Telephone,’ she says “Both our videos are road movies. We kill people, and they kill people. They start out in a prison, and we start out in a squat, hunting people down.”
“I can’t talk about Gaga anymore,” she said “All I’ll say is, it’s upsetting when babies say ga-ga now. It used to be innocent. Now, they’re calling her name.”

We throw the world "celebrity" around too liberally these days. Take some person off the street, put them on a reality show and watch them fight and get drunk and that makes them a celeb?
I don't think so, but I guess the general public doesn't agree with me.
One of those new celebs, Natalie Nunn has gotten lots of face time recently because of her outrageous antics on the show 'The Bad Girls Club'. Also because she regularly bashes Rihanna while sticking up for her abuser Chris Brown.
VladTV asked her what she's been up to since 'Bad Girls' wrapped.
"I was on a party tour all over the United States. I was hosting parties, it's just been great. Ive been to every state. States I really didn't even know existed that had like a population, been there."
The rest of the interview sounded a lot like "blah blah blah blah". So I used that time to try to figure out exactly what the hell is that thing on her lip?
Help me out people.

LAS VEGAS – Rashad Evans finished what he started.
Igniting the spark that led to a wild rivalry with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson 14 months ago, Evans had some thinking he bit off more than he could chew. But in a battle of former light heavyweight champions, Evans outworked Jackson with a perfect brew of power striking, clinchwork and takedowns to outpoint him on the way to a unanimous decision win at UFC 114.
Jackson came into the fight as a favorite both on betting lines and with the fans, who roared at every image of Jackson and went to a full howl upon his introduction. But Jackson couldn't really got his offense started until the third round, and by then Evans was in firm control. After withstanding a furious Jackson charge in the third, Evans reasserted his will and closed out the contest in command.
The final scores were 30-27, 29-28, 30-27.
"It's a huge relief," Evans said afterward. "Me and Quinton put on a good show."
"This fight is going to haunt me," added a disappointed Jackson
vans surprised onlookers from just after the opening bell, landing his first strike, a powerful overhand right that sent Jackson reeling sideways and against the cage. Time and again, Evans capitalized when Jackson was against the fence, clinching him and gambling that the work would pay off later due to his conditioning.
Despite going from 251 pounds to 205 pounds in eight weeks, Jackson never faded, but his timing was off on his strikes, and he later admitted it was likely due to being rusty after the 14-month layoff.
He did make one late charge in the third though, dropping Evans with an uppercut against the fence. Jackson tried desperately to finish his disoriented opponent, but Evans recovered and closed out the round strong with two takedowns and strong groundwork of his own.
"I'm very surprised he recovered from that," Jackson said afterward. "I put all my eggs in that basket and it didn't work. I guess ring rust is a factor."
Jackson also asked for a rematch, though the winner was promised a title shot, meaning Evans will go on to face Mauricio "Shogun" Rua later this year. In the post-fight press conference, Evans said he came out of the fight injury-free, meaning the UFC will likely go to work to put the match together in short order and he can move past this all-encompassing feud.
"I'm happy I don't have to answer questions about Rampage anymore," a beaming Evans said
In the co-main event, British middleweight Michael Bisping rebounded from his UFC 110 loss by outlasting the tough New Jersey fighter Dan Miller in a unanimous decision.
Though Miller came in with a wrestling pedigree, he only attempted two takedowns over the course of the 15-minute fight, landing one. The result was a kickboxing-heavy fight that favored Bisping's speed and accuracy.
Miller fought a very close first round until Bisping asserted himself from the early moments of the second. After landing a hard right, his varied attack had Miller off-balance and bloodied from the nose and near the eye.
"Dan Miller is a great guy with some great skills," Bisping said. "He'll go on to a fantastic MMA career. He's tough. I hit him with some big right hands and he was still right there."
Undefeated British welterweight prospect John Hathaway earned the biggest win of his young career, upsetting Diego Sanchez in a lopsided decision.
Hathaway took Sanchez's favorite weapon – the takedown – out of his arsenal, and the former No. 1 lightweight contender had a rough time in the standup against the reach advantage of Hathaway.
Hathaway set the tone of the fight early by knocking Sanchez down with a knee as Sanchez shot in for a takedown. He nearly finished it there but the durable Sanchez weathered the storm. Still, Hathaway's long jab and right hand found their targets repeatedly, bloodying his opponent's face.
Todd Duffee came into the event as one of the must-watch young heavyweights in MMA, and after two-and-a-half rounds of dominance, it seemed the praise was well-deserved. But on his way to seemingly certain victory, he was derailed by a stunning reversal of fortune.
Mike Russow authored one of the most stunning comeback knockouts in recent memory, rebounding from a two-round deficit with a pair of back-to-back right hands that knocked out the surging Duffee.
Duffee seemed to be in cruise control, gliding to a unanimous decision while avoiding Russow's wrestling and takedown game. Scoring with jabs and right hands from distance, Duffee easily captured both of the first two rounds, and was on his way to taking the third in the same fashion before fates quickly changed.
While one young prospect prospered, another floundered.
Russow stepped into an overhand right that landed on the chin. Duffee was already falling backwards as Russow caught him with a follow-up right. Duffee crashed to the mat unconscious for the sudden KO. Amazingly, Russow fought much of the bout with a broken arm after blocking a Nogueira kick, it was reported by the UFC in explaining Russow's absence from the post-fight press conference.
In the most controversial fight of the evening, top 10 light-heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira avoided a major upset, with the judges handing him a disputed split decision win.

Brilz seemed to control both of the first two rounds with his takedowns and groundwork while Nogueira captured the third in desperation mode. The vast majority of what appeared to be a pro-Nogueira crowd felt Brilz won the fight, but when the decision was read, Nogueira got the nod.
The fight was essentially decided by the pivotal first, which judges Tony Weeks and Marcos Rosales both scored for Nogueira.
The crowd drowned out Nogueira's post-fight comments booing the seeming injustice, though Brilz took it in stride.
"First off, don't boo this guy, he's one heckuva fighter," Brilz said. "Don't boo him. I left it to the decision of the judges. It is what it is, but I had a good performance, and that's what the whole plan was."
On the first fight of the Spike portion of the broadcast, Efrain Escudero defeated Dan Lauzon by unanimous decision, getting the judges' nod by identical scores of 29-27.
Escudero controlled the entire fight with clinchwork that featured a steady diet of knees to the body. He also outstruck Lauzon en route to the win. The odd score came as the result of a point that was deducted for a third-round low blow.
Dong Hyun-Kim followed that with an equally dominant performance, staying unbeaten with a systematic unanimous decision over Amir Sadollah.
Kim (13-0-1) took Sadollah down seemingly at will, and while he wasn't able to finish the fight, he rarely gave up position and scored with well-timed elbows and strikes from the top. Sadollah was never really able to get any offense going until the final moments of the 15-minute fight, when he landed his first power combo of the night.
Sadollah fell to 3-2 with the loss.
In the prelims, Ryan Jensen needed just 1:06 to finish Jesse Forbes via guillotine submission, Aaron Riley outworked Joe Brammer to earn a unanimous decision, Cyrille Diabate KO'd Luiz Cane to win his promotional debut, and Melvin Guillard made it four of his last five, scoring a first-round knockout of Waylon Lowe.
