Yates College/Yates University


Yates University Yates Acceptance Acceptance Movie Acceptance Imdb
Yates College/Yates University:Lester Benton stares down the new school year with steadfast determination.
Every textbook,
every essay marks a major accomplishment for the 50-year-old, who only recently began learning to read.
The 1978 Yates High School graduate says that breaking the shackles of illiteracy is just the beginning for him.
He will return to Houston Community College on Monday, where he’s been taking one class a semester as he inches toward an associate’s degree in network engineering.
As he sounds out words and thumbs through the pages of his well-worn dictionary, Benton boasts that he will eventually earn a master’s degree from the University of Houston.
“I’d like to be a role model,” the father of four said. “It’s worth it to show an example to my boys. They know daddy can’t spell good.”
Until recently, Benton was among the 52 percent of Harris County adults deemed functionally illiterate in English. Many, such as Benton, are native Houstonians.
The school system brushed off his struggles decades ago, classifying him as a special-needs student and even assigning him to a separate campus for developmentally delayed children. After begging his mom, he was returned to regular classes in eighth grade, even further behind.
He spent his school years embarrassed and anxious about his reading struggles.
“It never clicked with me at all,” he said. “I was one of those people who was dropped. I was just dropped.”
Still, Benton was pushed through the system — he was given a diploma and even enrolled in classes at Texas Southern University, where he failed almost immediately.

Courtney Love fires Back at libel Case



Courtney Love has fired back at a fashion designer whom she once called a ‘nasty lying hosebag thief’ on Twitter.

Dawn Simorangkir, the Austin, Texas, fashion designer, who runs the Boudoir Queen label, sued Kurt Cobain’’s widow for libel last May after Love called the designer a prostitute and a drug addict on her Twitter and MySpace pages, as well as in the comments section of online marketplace Etsy.com.

Simorangkir claimed Love slimed her because she charged Love for clothes the rocker thought she was getting for free.

Now, Keith Fink, a lawyer for Love, has filed a motion in LA Superior Court to toss Simorangkir’’s suit, reports the New York Post.

In court papers, Love has claimed that Simorangkir actually stole two bags of clothing from her while visiting Love at the Chateau Marmont, and sold off to third parties “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of raw materials Love had provided her.

Love has also claimed that Simorangkir “repeatedly” asked her to “partake in and procure cocaine” with her, and that she told Love she”d once worked as a call girl in California.

Fink defended Love’s online rants saying: “Alternative mediums such as Twitter and personal Web blogs enjoy the same First Amendment protection as do newspapers, television and radio. It is important that this cherished right not be marginalized when speech is communicated via the Internet. Ms. Cobain enjoys using Twitter and expressing her views . . . to her fans and those who are interested in following what she has to say.”

Simorangkir’s lawyer said: “If you know Courtney, you know what’’s going on here. It certainly doesn”t behoove her to engage in a credibility battle. Quite frankly, I cannot wait to get this case in front of a jury. This motion is a loser.”
