1. 캘리포니아州 데이비스市는 수 년 동안 심각한 예산 문제에 시달려왔다. 따라서, 올해 상당액수의 민간 성금이 답지해 현재 심각한 곤란에 처한 데이비스市의 교육 부문에 상당한 도움이 되고 있다. .    

예산 문제로 인해 100명이 넘는 교사와 사서가 일자리를 잃게 된 상황에서, 캘리포니아 주 데이비스 시 주민들과 기업들이 적게는 5달러에서 많게는 십만 달러까지 현금 기부를 해서, 4백만 달러의 예산 부족분을 충당하고 이 도시의 우수 학교들을 계속 보전하려 한다.

The city of Davis of California has been in a budget crisis for years.

Therefore, the outpouring of thousands of dollars in private donations that pulled in this budget year couldn't have been more than welcome for the city's beleaguered school system.

With a budget crisis threatening the jobs of more than 100 teachers and librarians, Davis residents and businesses are handing over their own cash – from $5 to $100,000 – to try to close a $4 million budget gap and preserve the city's top-ranked schools.

2. 이라크 및 기타 지역에서 전쟁을 하고 있는 미군 부대들의 연료비가 다음 주 또 다시 인상될 예정이다. 이번 비용 인상은 미 국방부가, 치솟는 원유 가격으로 인해, 예산이 집행되는 과정에서 연료비를 인상해야 하는 두번째 조치가 될 것이다. 

U.S. military units fighting in Iraq and elsewhere will see another hike in fuel costs next week. The cost increase will be the second time the Defense Department has had to raise rates in the middle of the budget year because of soaring oil prices.

3. ‘Lyric 오페라’단은, 경제적인 상황에 맞추어, 행정 직원들에 대한 임금을 동결했고 2009~2010시즌 동안 공개될 4편의 작품 당 공연 횟수를 축소하기로 했다.  

Lyric오페라단의 에반 루스킨 총 매니저는 공연 횟수를 5편에서 4편으로 줄이기로 한 이번 결정이 이번 7월 1일부터 시작되는 2009회계연도의 예산을 5십만 달러 줄이는데 도움이 될 것이라고 발표했다.   

The Lyric Opera, in response to the economic climate, has frozen administrative salaries and will cut the number of performances for each of its four productions in the 2009-2010 season.

General manager Evan Luskin said the decision to reduce the number of performances from five to four will help cut about $500,000 from the budget in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

4. 미 오레건 주 공립 대학들은 주 정부가 지원하던 학비 일부를 못받게 되는 학생들이 학업을 계속할 수 있도록, 현금을 마련해, 서둘러 지원할 예정이다. 대학들은 지난 가을 학기에 주 정부로부터 장학금 지원을 받았던 3만 8천 5백 명 가량의 학생들이 이번 봄 학기에 부족할 40달러에서 80달러를 보충해 주고 싶어하고 있으며 그 이유는 학생들이 기존에 받았던 액수를 모두 필요로 하기 때문이라고 당국자들은 밝혔다.     

Oregon's public universities are rushing to help students who are losing some of their state grant money by coming up with cash to keep them in school. The universities want to make up for the $40 or $80 shortfall in state aid this spring for about 38,500 students who received the grants in the fall, because students need all the money they were awarded earlier, officials said.

5. GM사는 고객들로 하여금 언제라도 GM사와 연락을 할 수 있도록 하는 아이디어를 ‘OnStar’라고 하는 시스템을 통해서 구현할 수 있었다. 이 시스템을 이용하면 고객들의 제품에 문제가 발생하는 경우 GM사와 연락을 취해 특정 지시를 받고, 도움을 받을 수 있게 된다.

General Motors was able to put together their idea of connecting their costumers with them all the time through a system called OnStar. This system allows them to get in touch with General Motors, getting directions, and getting help if their items break down.

6. 지난 6월 상어를 직접 만나볼 수 있는 경험 자원자들을 모집한 결과 반응이 아주 뜨거웠습니다. 응해주신 여러분들께 감사의 말씀을 드립니다. 하지만 안타깝게도 선정할 수 있는 수가 여덟 분 밖에 되지 않았고, 따라서 촬영팀으로서도 상당히 어려운 결정이었습니다.

We had an overwhelming response to our request for volunteers for a shark experience with us in June so I first want to thank all those that responded. Unfortunately we could only choose 8 people and it was a difficult decision for the film crew.

STORY 1. CHILDREN OF THE MOUNTAINS

(OC) Tonight, a rare look at life for children in one of the poorest parts of the country, Appalachia.  Along with rampant poverty, young people there face epidemic drug abuse and disease.  It's been 41 years since Robert Kennedy called on the rest of America to help the people of Appalachia.  ABC's Diane Sawyer has spent the last two years finding out what, if anything, has changed.

(VO) 12-year-old Courtney, her sister 11-year-old Mary, tell us a secret about their mom.

Can I be honest?  Our mommy used to be hooked on drugs, and we didn't like it one bit.

(VO) They have bounced from place to place and, for now, clothes crowded under the bed, are grateful to be at their grandparents, Calf Creek Hollow, Kentucky.

There's 12 people living in this house altogether.  Honestly, we can barely afford food, whenever her food stamps are all gone.  We run out of food, we don't have bread, we don't have meat.  We're not like other people, we can't afford food after food after food.

(VO) Courtney's uncle puts Pepsi in 2-year-old Sable's sippy cup.  Angel is Courtney's 30-year-old mother.  The prescription drug abuse rate in this part of the country is twice that of Miami or New York.

I would have to have ten pain pills just to get started, to not be sick.

(VO) She's trying to turn things around.  So before dawn, she gets her children on the 6:15 school bus.

Come on.  You got four minutes.  Love you.  Love you.

(VO) Then, she and her boyfriend start the trek to the welfare-mandated GED class in the center of town.  Her walk?  8 miles each way.  It takes nearly two hours to get there.  Two more hours coming home, in the rain.  Angel says if she can only get that GED in two months she has a chance of getting a job, getting off welfare.

(OC) Are you ready for it?

I believe so, I believe I am.

(VO) And we're there when two little girls who dream of a very different future watch their mother achieve one small victory on the road.

This is my GED that I worked my butt off for.

(VO) And you can see Diane's full report, "A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains."  It will be tonight on a special "20/20."

STORY 2. PERSONS OF THE WEEK

(OC) Finally tonight, our "Persons of the Week."  Like towns and cities across the country, a small community in western Maine is facing big economic problems.  But when a budget crisis threatened school jobs, district employees gave a lesson in generosity.

I was incredulous because we're in the middle of a budget year.  We were in a difficult spot.

(VO) In December, Mark Eastman - he's the superintendent of the Oxford Hills, Maine school district - was told he had to cut $500,000 from his budget.

My hope was not to do anything with layoffs during the middle of the year.  So we scrimped, we cut maintenance, we cut a lot of things - substitutes and things like that and we got to about $400,000.

(VO) Well, do the math and you know they came up short.  The only place to make up the shortfall was to lay off seven workers.

I heard a yearning of "how can we save these jobs?"  And it was from that and brainstorming that we were able to put this idea together.

(VO) The idea was to ask every employee of the district to give up one day's pay.

And so we put out a letter to our staff raising this concept and I used the quote from President Obama.

The selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job, which sees us through our darkest hours.

And we had just an overwhelming response.

(VO) More than 60% of the school district employees said yes.  Principal George Sincerbeaux was one of them.

What I really was surprised about is the amount of people that jumped in on it.  And it wasn't - it was administrators, teachers, ed techs, custodians, bus drivers.  Everybody chipped in.

Within the two-week window, we were within a few thousand dollars of it.  And by the end of the three weeks, we had matched our goal, we met our goal, exceeded our goal.

(VO) Jean Smart is a teacher's aide who would have been one of those to lose her job.

It's like - it is a gift.  It's a real gift.  And I am very grateful.  I really am.  Because it means I can pay my bills and even save a little money, maybe.

(VO) So was anyone in the community surprised by the generosity of its people?  Not really.

You know, I've used the Chinese proverb which I think is wonderful here.  "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness."  And we've got a lot of candles that have been lit around this district.

(OC) And so we choose the faculty and staff of the Oxford Hills Maine School District.  They are already working on ways to raise another $500,000 to prevent future layoffs.

STORY 3. CRASH OF FLIGHT 3407

(OC) And John Nance is our aviation expert.  He joins us from Orlando.  John, they say within a minute of the crash, they were getting the landing gear down, they were dropping the flaps.  That obviously has something to do with what happened?

(OC) I think the flaps, certainly do and probably the landing gear, too.  There is a situation here, Charlie, when you're putting the gear down, if you are letting the aircraft slow and now the flaps come out and slow you a little bit more, if the wing has built up ice, it may not be flyable at the air speed that you're used to and they could have slowed below that critical air speed.  Or, something could have come off the top.

(OC) John, if there's ice on a wing, do the pilots know it, A, and B, does it change the aerodynamics of the airplane so that  they might think they were okay for landing, but aren't?

(OC) They might not know how much they have, Charlie.  You know, by looking back, if you can look far enough back there, you can see ice, and you can see on a nub, for instance, of a windshield wiper that there's ice.  So you know it's there.  You may not know how much is there and you may not appreciate the fact that it has redesigned your wing.  Because that's what it'll do.  It will change the aerodynamics and 100 knot wing, one that can fly at let's say, 100 knots, all of a sudden unable to fly at slower than maybe 120.

(OC) So they may think they've got a safe speed for landing, but actually they need to be going faster to overcome the ice?

(OC) This is one of the seductive parts of it.  You may not know that you've got that type of situation until you slow too far and then all of the sudden you depart normal flight.

(OC) All right, John Nance, our aviation expert, thanks to you for that.
