ng at how to improve our
schools and access to our schools without looking at how the past
impacted the present," said Elaine Ng, executive director of the Boston
Chinatown Neighborhood Center, which hosted the story circle where Powell
described her visit back to her old school.As the daughter of Chinese
immigrants, Ng learned to speak English as a kindergarten student in a
Boston public school. But after her family moved from Chinatown to a
white neighborhood in 1976, students threw stones at her when she walked
to school. Ng said one of her frustrations is that people don't
recognize all the ripple effects busing had."It didn't matter whether or
not you were on a bus," she said. "Racial tensions in the
city were just really high."The uproar started in 1974, when a federal
judge imposed busing after a lawsuit claimed black students were getting
lower-quality education than children who attended mostly white schools.
Black students were bused to schools in white areas, and white students
went to black neighborhoods. The National Guard was called in amid demonstrations
and riots; school buses got police escorts.The unrest continued for years.
In 1976, a news photographer caught a white teenager attempting to spear
a black man with an American flag during a busing protest outside
City Hall. In 1979, 15-year-old black football player Darryl Williams was
left paralyzed by a white sniper's bullet during a high school game.Alexander
Lynn,
WASHINGTON After a full year of fruitless job hunting, Natasha Baebler
just gave up.She'd already abandoned hope of getting work in her field,
working with the disabled. But she couldn't land anything else, either
not even a job interview at a telephone call center.Until she feels
confident enough to send out resumes again, she'll get by on food
stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents
in St. Louis."I'm not proud of it," says Baebler, who is in
her mid-30s and is blind. "The only way I'm able to sustain
any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that
I have no desire to be on."Baebler's frustrating experience has become all
too common nearly four years after the Great Recession ended: Many Americans
are still so discouraged that they've given up on the job market.Older
Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others
have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens.
Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.It isn't supposed to
be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to
bring people back into the job market.Instead, the number of Americans in
the labor force those who have a job or are looking
for one fell by nearly half a million people from February
to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age
adults in the labor force what's called the participation rate

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> Anthony Weiner announces his resignation from Congress during a news conference
in Brooklyn, New York, Thursday, June 16, 2011. (AP)AP2011Former Rep. Anthony
Weiner is laying the groundwork for a political comeback, possibly as a
startling addition to this years mayoral race, sources said yesterday.Political
insiders were abuzz at news that Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin,
had granted a lengthy magazine interview for the first time since his
resignation in an embarrassing sexting scandal in 2011.The magazine piece
is step one of a two-step process for him to run citywide
this year, said one Democratic Party source.Hes looking at public advocate
and comptroller, but he really thinks he can use this to get
back in and run for mayor.Weiner issued a terse no comment when
asked about his plans.Weiner has $4.3 million left in his campaign account,
including $248,710 that would be matched 6-to-1 under the public-financing
system.A second source said Weiner has been contacting former staffers to
prepare for his re-entry into politics.Weiners entry into the Democratic
primary for mayor would make it more difficult for any of the
five candidates now in the race to get at least 40 percent
of the vote and avoid a runoff.Click for more from NYPost.com.

the order's 3,700-plus schools worldwide are smaller and many are struggling.The
Rev. Tom Smolich, president of the Jesuit Conference USA, said some are
half-jokingly wondering about a papal version of the "Flutie effect," a
reference to Doug Flutie, quarterback for Jesuit-run Boston College whose
last-second "Hail Mary" pass won a 1984 game against Miami. In the
aftermath, BC's applications increased.Mostly, though, the society is hoping
for what the Rev. Matt Malone, editor of the Jesuit magazine America,
called "a moment of reconciliation." Previous popes have disciplined Jesuit
theologians over liberal teachings. In 2008, Benedict XVI sent a letter
asking the order's worldwide members to pledge "total adhesion" to Catholic
doctrine, including on divorce and homosexuality."That the cardinals would
even consider choosing a Jesuit now, I thought, marked a new beginning
in that relationship," Malone wrote.Recognized by the church in 1540, the
order was founded by Basque soldier Inigo de Loyola. Jesuits swear an
oath of obedience to the papacy and have been dubbed "God's Soldiers"
for their readiness to evangelize anywhere the pontiff sent them. Jesuits
brought Christianity to 16th-century Japan. A 19th-century Belgian Jesuit
was a peace negotiator between the U.S. government and Sioux Indians.But
depending on the era, the society could be viewed with as much
suspicion as respect.Their growing influence sometimes generated resentme
