0 What We're Reading Today (11-19-12): Gaza, Education in Massachusetts, McKayala Maroney & Obama, and more Gaza

Finally, finally, finally, I have my laptop back. Props to Alex Kolodner of Tufts UIT for fixing it for me.  He and the crew at Tufts Online are saviors and also helped me save like $500 through their repair.  Many thanks and many beers to you all.
