Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1113121--new-york-school-employee-faked-daughter-s-death-to-get-vacation-report?bn=1 A New York City school employee forged a daughterâ€™s death certificate to get extra vacation time in Costa Rica and has since been fired, according to a report by the school system. Joan Barnett, 58, a parent co-ordinator at the High School of Hospitality and Management, submitted an altered death certificate to get approved leave time in March and April 2010, according to the report by the Commissioner of Investigation. She lost her job that June after the forgery came to light. It was first reported Tuesday in the Daily News of New York. According to the report, someone who said she was Barnettâ€™s daughter called the school on March 19, 2010, and said her sister in Costa Rica was very sick. Later that day, the report said, another supposed daughter of Barnettâ€™s called and said her sister had suffered a heart attack and died. She said relatives were gathering in Costa Rica. Barnett faxed the school a death certificate April 8, the report said. School officials were suspicious because it had different, misaligned fonts. A Costa Rican government official later confirmed the document was a fake, noting that the death certificate had been issued in 2005. In addition to losing her job, Barnett pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour forgery charge last fall and was sentenced to 10 daysâ€™ community service. Her attorney did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday. Neither the criminal complaint against Barnett nor the special commissionerâ€™s report addresses the question of whether the daughter who purportedly died ever existed. Laurel Wright-Hinckson, a spokeswoman for the special commissionerâ€™s office, said that Barnett refused to speak to investigators, who were â€œunable to ascertain if in fact she had said daughter and if she did, if this daughter did pass away.â€ -----signature----- (none)

	Meanwhile in Georgia, Figuring out how many oranges were picked by slaves and how many beatings per day Frederick Douglass received was allowed to help teach elementary students their multiplication and division tables at one school. Administrators at Gwinnett County School District are sorting through the fallout from parents of children who brought home math homework last week that referenced slavery and beatings. The first asked, â€œEach tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?â€ The other said, â€œIf Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?â€ http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2012/01/09/georgia-school-math-assignment-references-slavery-beatings/ -----signature----- A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
