DCSD announces the opening of the Open Enrollment window, December 1, 2010 through January 18, 2011.
The public schools of Douglas County School District are open to all children of the District. Any student in the county may apply to attend any DCSD school that has space available. Most students attend their neighborhood school, but the District also offers charter and magnet schools, alternative high schools, home school support, online education, and special programs to serve the needs of each student.
Choice Enrollment Families who wish to enroll their student in a school other than their neighborhood school must complete an Open Enrollment application. Applications for Open Enrollment are accepted for the following school year on a space available basis. Students who are residents of Colorado, but do not reside within the school district boundary may apply for enrollment to a program or school in DCSD during the Open Enrollment window.
If a family plans to enroll their student in their neighborhood school, there is no need to complete the open enrollment process. Contact your school to register.

HUD is Selling Houses for $1.00!!! That’s Right ONE DOLLAR!!! ZERO In with ZERO Hassle! Find Your New Home Today at www.HomeZero.com!

HUD’s Dollar Homes initiative helps local governments to foster housing opportunities for low to moderate income families and address specific community needs by offering them the opportunity to purchase qualified HUD-owned homes for $1 each.

Dollar Homes are single-family homes that are acquired by the Federal Housing Administration (which is part of HUD) as a result of foreclosure actions. Single-family properties are made available through the program whenever FHA is unable to sell the homes for six months.

By selling vacant homes for $1 after six months on the market, HUD makes it possible for communities to fix up the homes and put them to good use at a considerable savings. The newly occupied homes can then act as catalysts for neighborhood revitalization, attracting new residents and businesses to an area.

Local governments can partner with local nonprofit homeownership organizations or tap into existing local programs to resell the homes to low- and moderate-income residents of the community.

WARNING: Internet usage and DoS attacks

Laura Stewart — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 19:41:29 +0000

With the arrest of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange the largest hacker group in the world right now (Known as “Anonymous”) is doing major attacks on many financial institutions like Paypal and Mastercard and internet providers like Amazon. These attacks also known as DoS (Denial of Service) attacks are usually performed by sending out massive amounts of Malware which hijacks people’s machines and disseminates the attack from unknowing victims machines. Occasionally these malware include Trojans and worms which will damage your machine.

As an added precaution beyond normal virus and malware protection you may want to limit internet usage over the next three days to curtail any hijacking of your equipment. By all means, do not stop using the internet altogether but please limit your usage as much as possible for the next three days. The government is fighting back against these hackers and the major companies are working on patches to block the malware dissemination but it will take time.
