The state Department of Education last year gave Hamilton Avenue School a pass for its horrific scores because of the extenuating circumstances of the relocation - Is Principal Damaris Rau so foolish to think that the state Department of Education will give her a second pass for exceptionally poor preformance?

School fought to maintain academic standards

.....But last year, the school's test performance took a nosedive following students' relocation from the modular building to other schools.

In the writing section, proficiency levels plummeted to 77 percent ­-- close to the levels of 74 and 77 percent posted by students in the 2002-03 and 2003-04 school years, respectively. Among town schools, the Chickahominy school also showed the largest score declines and the lowest proficiency levels on the test......

...The impact was most severe on special-needs students.....


COMMENT:


Biased Cub Reporter Colin "Wet Behind The Ears" Gustafonson Ignors The Fact That Hamilton Avenue School Principal Damaris Rau Has Had A Long And Repeated History Of Allowing Mold To Grow Out Of Control On Her Watch, Because She Doesn't Want To Rock The Boat With Failed Greenwich School Administrator Susan Wallerstien.



For A Year Principal Damaris Rau Ignored Parents Complaints That Their Children Were Getting Sick, Because Of Water Leaks In The Building.



School records show that nearly a year before the moldulars were closed Principal Rau allowed wet and moldly classroom cieling tiles to be replaced, with remediating the source of the mold.



In Febuary 2008, Hamilton Avenue Parents who had been ignored by Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Joe Pisani contacted Greenwich Roundup about the nummerous and growing classroom leaks. Throughout February Greenwich Roundup exposed the leaks until the school was closed a few days into March due to extensive mold infestation.



For The Record:



Hamilton Avenue School Principal Damaris Rau Did Not Return Repeated Phone Calls From Greenwich Roundup About The Modular Water Leaks. At One Point At The End Of February A Hamilton Avenue School Staffer Threaten To Call The Greenwich Police Department On Greenwich Roundup When He Sought A Comment From Principal Rau Or One Of Her Staff Members Before Publishing Another Story About The Leaks.



Less Than A Week Later Greenwich Public School Superintendent Betty Sternberg Issued An Emergency Order Closing The Modular Classrooms And Disbursing Hundreds Of The Smallest And Weakest Members Of Greenwich Society All Over Town.



Also For The Record:



There Was Not One Article From Hearst Newspaper's Local Daily Rag About Water Leaks, MoldOr How Children Were Suffering In Principal Rau's Modular Classrooms.



"100 Days Of Change"



Where Is The "100 Days Of Change Hearst Newspaper President Steven "BS" Swartz Promised Greenwich Time Readers?

03/21/09 SUPRISE AIG LIED:Greenwich Resident Richard Blumenthal Says AIG Paid It's Fat Cat Pirates $218 Million In Bonuses !!!!!

Greenwich Resident Richard Blumenthal Has Discovered That The AIG Pirates Are Lying To America

THE FAILURES:

Hearst Newspaper President Steven Swartz Has Doomed His "100 Days Of Change" Initiative To Failure, Because He Continues To Employ An Incompetitant Editor At The Greenwich Time

Apparently, Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Has No Contacts In The CT AG's Office

Hearst Newspaper Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Is A Sleep At The Switch As Out Of Town News Organizations Are Covering The Story In The Greenwich Time's Backyard

Ex- Greenwich Time Managing Editor And Now Hearst Newspaper Reporter Jim "I Like Writting About Beer" Zebora Is Clueless That AIG Lied And Paid Out An Additional 53 Million In Tax Dollars To The Jackpot Jimmys At AIG

THE QUOTE:

'If the numbers are changing, we want to know what number is accurate.' — Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut attorney general

THE STORY:

Conn. official says AIG underestimated bonus pool


MarketWatch

Wallace Witkowski - MarketWatch Bussiness News Editor In San Francisco

American International Group Inc. paid out millions more than previously reported in bonuses to employees of its troubled financial-products unit, according to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, the state official's office said Saturday, citing documents subpoenaed from the insurer.

Employees of the company's financial-products unit were paid $218 million in retention bonuses rather than the $165 million reported last week, according to Blumenthal's office

The attorney general's office received subpoenaed documents from AIG (AIG) late Friday and has commanded AIG Chief Executive Edward Liddy and 11 other employees to appear at a March 26 hearing. Other AIG employees subpoenaed are Douglas Polling, James Haas, Jonathan Liebergall, Christopher Phole, Steven Pike, Robert Powell, Joseph Rooney, Gregory Ruffa, Leonid Shekhtnam, Christian Toft and Steven Wagar.

"We want to know there is a full accounting at this point," Blumenthal told CNN in a phone interview. "If the numbers are changing, we want to know what number is accurate, what time periods are covered, but most important how we recover that money because these bonuses should have never been paid."


WHY ISN'T ANYONE LISTENING
TO GREENWICH ROUNDUP



THIS WAS ONLY THE FIRST ROUND
OF BONUS PAYMENTS TO THE AIG FAT CATS



THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON A SECOND
TAXPAYER FUNDED MULTI MILLION DOLLAR
AIG BONUS PAYMENT



Here Is A News Flash For The Incompetent
Bruce Hunter And Jim Zebora:

The AIG Employee Retention Plan That Is Causing
Working Folks Sharpening Their Pitchforks.
Has Two Componets



There Are Two Sets Of Bonus Payments

This Is The First Bonus And Covers December 01, 2007 To November 30, 2008 That Was To Be Paid No Later Than March 15th of 2009.

Most People Including The Clueless Bruce Hunter Don't Realize That The Clock Is Already Ticking On A Second Round Of Bonus Payments.

The Is Second Bonus Payments Cover December 01, 2008 To November 30, 2009 That Was To Be Paid No Later Than March 15th of 2010.



Next Years Taxpayer Funded Bonus Payments Are A Done Deal

San Francisco Market Watch Business Editor

Wallace Witkowski Continues.....


AIG spokesman Mark Herr told CNN that the company believes Blumenthal's office is taking into account payments that were made in December that were separate from the $165 million that was paid in March and widely reported upon last week.


"We want to know exactly what these numbers cover, whether in fact they are specifically identifiable as 2009 payments as appears to be the case from the documents," Blumenthal told CNN.


Last week, AIG disclosed it had paid out the $165 million in retention bonuses, with 73 financial-products-unit employees receiving bonuses of $1 million or more and 11 of those employees having already left the company.
Maybe, Hearst Newspapers Managing Editor Is Just Ignoring The Fact That Greenwich Resident And Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal Just Found 53 Million In Additional AIG Payments, Because He Is Posiing The Greenwich Time To Be The Hearst News Wanna Be Of Lower Fairfield County.

03/21/09 Threats Against Greenwich Blogger May Be Comming From No Other Than Ex-Bear Sterns Fat Cat Robert Steinberg

Zeroing In On Nasty Fat Cat Robert Stienberg .....

WOW - Greenwich Bloggers Sure Do Have High Net Worth And Infamous Readers !!!!

Ace Detective And Citizen Journalist Chris Fountain may have traced the threats against him to a guy Greenwich Roundup wrote about. You may remember he was the guy who got a pardon for that other crooked real estate guy, only to have Ex-President George Bush rescind it when he found out who the crook was.

There is no way that Greenwich Roundup or Blogger Chris Fountain can't say positively that he's sending me drunken, threatening emails, but it sure seems to be him.

03/21/09 Old Greenwich Resident Forgets About The Insignifigant Greenwich Time And Sends His Writtings To The CT Post

Dodd's actions speak louder than his words

Connecticut Post

Washington D.C. has failed us on many levels over the last many decades. We have allowed our elected officials to serve as politicians instead of principled leaders. Far from being "statesmen," they embarrass themselves and mock our democracy by spending time raising money across the nation, instead of indicating interest in their job, which is to govern, not constantly run for office. Why does this happen? Most of them have such a strong desire to win re-election that they will corrupt the system and abort their duties as stewards to see to it that this happens.

Let's take our own U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd as a prime example. As a ranking member of the all-important U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs between 2003 and 2008, Dodd accepted donations from the nearly defunct insurance giant American International Group totaling nearly $225,000. In 2008, while we looked to him to represent our best interests, he received $157,194 from a now-quasi-nationalized Citigroup Inc., part of his total annual take of $854,200 from all TARP recipients, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

How can he truly represent his constituents' best interests when he is accepting vast sums of money from organizations that the government has assisted through the infusion of federal tax dollars? While legal, an objective observer should question the judgment and ethics of our state's senior senator......

Get your enemy’s IP, trace him with Google Map

Fans Of Greenwich Citizen Journalists Don't Mind When Someone Debates Or Disagrees With Local Bloggers...... That's The American Way

But, These Same Citizen Journalists Want To Trackdown Morons When Their Source Of Alternative News Is Threatened

To the Editor,

I've been coming to this web site for quite a while. Certainly long enough to know Chris and Bill are two of the few writers who know what is going on in Greenwich, CT.

I can't wait until the local newspapers go under, taking all past and present employees with them. The facts are usually wrong, late, and poorly written. For 50 cents? Not even for free.

I agree with Tony. Trace that IP ADDRESS. Show the scum so we can skim it and toss it.

Peace,
GMB

MORE INFORMATION:


How to Trace an IP Address: 4 steps (with video) - wikiHow

1. Find the IP number you wish to check. The format of an IP address is numeric, written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255.

To find the IP of an e-mail sent to you, investigate the message's "headers" by using your e-mail program's "details" or "properties" function. For example, in Outlook Express, select "Properties" from the "File" Menu, or just press ALT+Enter. Next, select the "Details" tab. In Yahoo, click "Full headers" on the upper right hand corner while you see the message. In Hotmail, go to "Mail Display Settings" and set "Message Headers" to "Full" or "Advanced". See this website for more information on viewing headers.

2. Go to a website that will allow you to look up IP address information. Type the IP number in the input box and submit.

3. Understand that in many situations you will learn a few things about the IP address:
Which internet service provider (ISP) the user is using. In some cases this may be the user's company (e.g. Ford.com). In other cases it may be just one of the large ISPs such as ATT or Comcast.

The approximate physical location of the user (e.g. Palo Alto, California.)
4. Recognize that usually you will not learn the actual name of the person doing at that IP address (e.g. Joe Smith). ISPs will typically only release such information under a court order.

ANOTHER TIP:


Another way--if you are using a Windows computer--to find out some information about someone is to go to Command Prompt (if you do not know how to do that, go to the Start menu, Run, and type "cmd" and press OK) and type in tracert . On UNIX (including Linux and OS X), open a shell and use the command traceroute

There Are Other Legal Measures For Tracing An IP Address, But They Are A Little To Detailed And Technical For This Blog About Greenwich

Tony The Tiger Says It Is About Time To Smackdown Some Clown That Is Threatening Citizen Journalist Chris Fountain

Greenwich Roundup Will Go After Failed Editors At The Greenwich Time In A New York Minute

But Even Greenwich Roundup ThinksTwice Before Criticizing Chris Fountain And The "For What It's Worth" Blog
This Moron Harrassing Chris Fountain Is Really Getting Tony, Who Is A Greenwich Roundup Reader, And Obviously A For What Its Worth fan Very Upset.


EDITOR:

I'm sitting here laughing at the stupid email sent in by the person with the IP address.

I know Chris Fountain's real estate advice is sound and accurate. In addition, I believe he's a reliable source for the NEWS, unlike all the crappy, half-assed reporting done in The Greenwich Times and Post. Obviously, Chris Fountain is a very talented writer too. His numbers/hits prove that.

So, to the wanna-be smart ass, who will not be just an anonymous IP address for very long:

Get a life, you moron. Let's see who has balls when YOUR NAME appears here.

You like to send threatening emails? You think anyone takes you seriously? Obviously, you are a complete LOSER.

Get in line with the rest of the incompetent Greenwich newspaper employees, the hedge fund thieves, and the self-proclaimed rich and famous. Step to the front of the line of complete assholes. Be the line leader!

But first, get your S H I T straight, if you're going to write anything here.

When I find out who you are, maybe I'll put a fist in your face so fast your head will spin. I have zero tolerance for cowards.

Stay tuned Greenwich.

Tony P.
