More special ed teachers are needed as the population with special needs is increasing.

I strongly disagree. There are no more special needs students today than there were ten years ago... it's just now we consider so many things "special needs" its ridiculous.

Laziness and lack of effort is being thrown into that mix. Out of curiosity I looked up the percentage of special ed in my high school. Since 2002 it has remained the same.

I know but I am really close to Nashville

I actually shot you an email to check when it came out. Darn. I was hoping you were just close enough

Its only being tested in Nashville and Muffreesboro

The HD star is designed to cover wider areas. If he lives close by to Nashville, which he does, its not out of the question that he could have seen it. Apparently not at this time anyway

For those who don't know WUWA has been on the air for a year now. (actually a year and two days as of this writing).

Yeah, we know. Which is why they are celebrating all week. July 20, 2009 was the day WUWA debuted.

Ironically Al wasn't even there for it. Steph was filling in for him

Getting very concerned about that second landfall. If shear remains low, there could be some major strengthening

Well the above 98L is dead and I am too lazy to start a new topic. 98L in the gulf is fighting to become a TD 40%

Hello everyone, I hope your day is going ok

My wisdom teeth are gone, didn't feel a darn and my jaw is severely swolen

I will likely be using my laptop from bed as recovery goes on when im awake and cant do Skype calls, just IM

I assume you are on oxycodene or something like that for pain? Swelling will go down in a day or so. I was puffy for a while after too!

70% A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE...LOCATED NEAR THE EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
AND EXTENDING NORTHWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC FOR A FEW HUNDRED
MILES...IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM
THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS WESTWARD TO HISPANIOLA...AND OVER THE
ADJACENT WATERS OF THE ATLANTIC AND NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA.
ALTHOUGH A CLOSED SURFACE CIRCULATION HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED...
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE CONDUCIVE FOR
TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT ABOUT 10 MPH DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THERE IS A HIGH
CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
OR A TROPICAL STORM DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO AFFECT THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PUERTO RICO...AND LIKELY AFFECT
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...HAITI...EASTERN CUBA...THE TURKS AND
CAICOS ISLANDS...AND THE BAHAMAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THE HEAVY RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD
SLIDES IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS.

What is it with it saying "Happy Anniversary" on the show this week? Are they celebrating the 1-year anniversary of when this show first debuted? I do recall it making its debut on Monday, July 20, 2009.

Yes it is WUWAs one year anniversary today

A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED NEAR PUERTO RICO IS PRODUCING A
LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC...AND THE ADJACENT WATERS. ALTHOUGH THE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED NEAR PUERTO RICO AND THE
VIRGIN ISLANDS THIS MORNING...THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SIGNS OF A
SURFACE CIRCULATION. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THERE
IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 5 TO 10 MPH. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE
NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...HAITI...EASTERN CUBA...THE TURKS AND CAICOS
ISLANDS...AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS.

More special ed teachers are needed as the population with special needs is increasing.

This has been a growing problem in my area and part of it is under investigation. State seems to be finding fraud and people abusing the money. While its important to maintain as many positions as possible, including special ed,  special ed deserves to have cuts just as much as regular positions. It should be equal.
