Including Masterman - a highly selective magnet school - with general enrollment public schools skews ratings a bit. This is why other 'rankings' like Newsweek separate magnet from non-magnet schools. Masterman SHOULD have very high rankings as they are educating only the most motivated, gifted students. LMSD cost to educate has actually dropped from what it was 5 years ago, and this is likely … more ›

A single bat will eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes and other insects AN HOUR at dawn and dusk. While spraying chemicals may be a necessary evil right now, building bat boxes to encourage their habitation would surely help in the long run! more ›

It was unclear whether U.S. District Court Judge John R. Padova granted Bogan's motion. A call Tuesday night to a listed phone …
