“Santa Baby” was originally recorded by Eartha Kitt with Henri René and his orchestra in New York City, in July, 1953. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5502 (in the USA),[2] and by EMI on the His Master’s Voice label as catalog number B 10728. The song was a huge hit for Kitt, and she later said that it was one of her favorite songs to record; she reprised it in the 1954 film New Faces. Kitt re-recorded the sing for Kapp Records in 1963, using a more uptempo arrangement (Madonna‘s popular rendition for the 1987 charity album A Very Special Christmas was based on this latter version). In 1954, Kitt recorded a new version of the song with new lyrics titled “This Year’s Santa Baby”, to no commercial success. Writers listed did not change.
The song is heard in the films Driving Miss Daisy (1989), Elf (2003), and Boynton Beach Club (2005).

From police: “MCDONALD appeared to be attempting to
get up, all the while continuing to point the knife at VAN DYKE.” #LaquanMcDonald

Van Dyke’s partner said #LaquanMcDonald got to within 12 to 15 ft and “swung the knife toward the officers in an aggressive manner.”

Van Dyke noted in statement after shooting #LaquanMcDonald concern about a weapon that appeared to be knife but could shoot a bullet.

MED FAILED TO SHARE THAT DURINGHILLARY’S HUSBAND BILL CLINTON’S ADMINISTRATION, MORE LEGISLATION WAS PASSED TO INCARCERATE MORE BLACK MEN
All MED & NEM are doing is perpetuating the lie, the sterotype that BLACK PEOPLE cnnot lead unless they state they are looking out for BLACK PEOPLE, and if they don’t they are afraid to because WHITE PEOPLEwill not like it.
IBy saying Hillary can help BLACK PEOPLE & Presidnet Obama is afraid to is n fact, PERPETUATING the myth that only WHITE PEOPLE can lead without questioning, whether they can serve every ethnic group without favoritism or prejudices.
Go sit your high yellow ass down somewhere Michael Dyson.
WHY you go and bring receipts, Ametia?

High-poverty schools often staffed by rotating cast of substitutes
By Emma Brown December 4 at 5:27 PM
Mya Alford dreams of studying chemical engineering in college, but the high school junior is at a disadvantage: Last year, her chemistry teacher at Pittsburgh’s Westinghouse Academy quit just weeks after school started, and the class was taught by a substitute who, as Alford put it, “didn’t know chemistry.”
The year before, there was no permanent biology teacher until December. Students at Westinghouse, a high-poverty school in one of Pittsburgh’s roughest neighborhoods, often see a rotating cast of substitutes, Alford said.
“You’re looking at test scores,” Alford said of the school’s low performance on state standardized tests in math, science and reading. “But we didn’t have a stable teacher.”
