This is Ludacris.An NYC educrat who moonlights as a rapper is raking in an eye-watering $192,374 principal’s salary for not running a school, The Post has learned.Caleb Haraguchi-Combs was a vice principal in BORO when he was handpicked in January to become “project director” of the proposed Next Generation Technology High School.Caleb Haraguchi Combs is collecting a nearly $200,000 salary but not working at any city school. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs/LinkedInThe promotion came with a $50,000 raise to principal-level compensation. A project director of a planned school usually becomes the new school’s principal.But Haraguchi-Combs’ new school — a proposed FiDi institution focusing on artificial intelligence and computer tech — was never approved or opened.Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels torpedoed the proposal in April after woke backlash over its merit-based admissions model and general fear of AI in schools.Yet the windfall continued for Haraguchi-Combs, 33.In his previous role as assistant principal at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics in East Harlem, he made $141,960 a year, according to public records.A Manhattan Center official confirmed that Haraguchi-Combs is no longer at the school.When The Post confronted the educator this week outside his shimmering Downtown Brooklyn high-rise, Haraguchi-Combs refused to say where he worked.“You came to my house? Outrageous,” he barked at a reporter.Haraguchi-Combs is also a hip hop artist who rapped about being involved in a drug deal that devolved into gunfire. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs/FacebookThe DOE said that Haraguchi-Combs is currently “developing new proposals and supporting in-progress proposals,” a typical role for project directors whose schools don’t exist.However, a DOE source strongly refuted that claim.“Unless a principal has tenure, they get bumped back to AP if their schools don’t open,” the source said. Officials “never should have named a principal before the school was approved.”Haraguchi-Combs would have been unable to apply for tenure as a principal since he never wound up serving in the role.Caleb Haraguchi-Combs refused to answer questions over where he’s currently working. J.C. Rice for NY PostDOE insiders are fuming over the waste of taxpayer money — and questioned why Haraguchi-Combs simply couldn’t be sent to work at another school.“What was the plan? There’s a lot of schools that could use a principal, there’s opportunities to appoint principals since then, it’s a huge waste of resources,” the DOE source said.The erstwhile principal’s situation came to light in a letter sent to DOE leadership by anonymous Manhattan high school principals urging an investigation into Superintendent Gary Beidleman.The October missive ticked off numerous concerns, including organizational dysfunction, hiring unqualified candidates, not meeting class size requirements, and Haraguchi-Combs’ status.Haraguchi-Combs’ situation came to light as part of a letter frustrations over Manhattan High Schools Superintendent Gary Beidleman’s leadership. beidleman/IinstagramHaraguchi-Combs has a curious alter-ego named Cal Combs, who has made two rap albums. He calls himself “half hip-hop artist, half English teacher.”In his 2017 album “Carmel,” named after the Indiana city where he once lived, he rapped about a drug deal that went south, and having to flee gunfire:“So now I got a nine hidden in my backpack/I took all the things I learned and put them on backtrack . . . They said that they would meet us at the spot at seven thirty/we packed a bag and arrived five minutes early.”In his song “Roundabouts,” he rapped about snorting cocaine and excessive drinking:“One more bump on that key/one more drink and I’m free/one more shot to forget/ how much I hate me.”Zilvinas Silenas, president of good government nonprofit think tank The Empire Center for Public Policy, called Haraguchi-Combs’ lush salary an insult to taxpayers. “This is a new level for New York, when you are getting paid nearly $200,000 for a job you’re not doing, most taxpayers have never even dreamed of making that kind of money,” Silenas said.

The Little Boy's Book Mishap: Why It's More Puzzling Than You Think New

The Little Boy's Book Mishap: Why It's More Puzzling Than You Think

Here is a simple-looking puzzle that may be harder than you think.A little boy was playing with a book at home.He was not reading the story or looking at the pictures.Instead, he started tearing out some pages from the book.His mother later found that six page numbers were missing.They were pages 7, 8, 100, 101, 222, and 223.Now, here is the interesting question.How many pages were actually torn out?Take a moment to look at the numbers and think carefully before choosing your answer.There are five possible answers.A: 6B: 3C: 7D: 5E: 4At first, answer A may seem like the obvious choice.After all, the boy tore out pages 7, 8, 100, 101, 222, and 223.That is six different page numbers.But this puzzle is not simply about counting numbers.We need to understand how pages are arranged in a normal book.A book is usually made of sheets of paper.Each sheet has two sides, and each side has a page number.This means that two consecutive page numbers can be printed on the front and back of the same sheet.For example, pages 7 and 8 are on opposite sides of one sheet of paper.So, when the boy tears out page 7 and page 8, he actually removes only one physical sheet.That is the first important detail.Now, let’s look at pages 100 and 101.These two pages are next to each other when we open the book.However, they are on two different sheets of paper.Page 100 is on the back of the sheet containing page 99, while page 101 is on the front of the next sheet, which has page 102 on its back.Therefore, tearing out pages 100 and 101 means removing two sheets.The same thing happens with pages 222 and 223.They are facing each other in the open book, but they belong to two different sheets.So, removing these two pages also means removing two sheets.Now, let’s put everything together.Pages 7 and 8 belong to one sheet.Pages 100 and 101 belong to two separate sheets.Pages 222 and 223 also belong to two separate sheets.That gives us:1 sheet for pages 7 and 8.2 sheets for pages 100 and 101.2 sheets for pages 222 and 223.In total, the boy removed five physical sheets of paper.Therefore, the correct answer is D: 5.This puzzle reminds us that sometimes the easiest-looking questions require us to think beyond the obvious answer.Before counting, we should understand exactly what we are counting!

Why 'Little Rascals' Star Bug Hall's GoFundMe is Stirring Up Emotions New

Why 'Little Rascals' Star Bug Hall's GoFundMe is Stirring Up Emotions

Brandon “Bug” Hall is reaching out for a helping hand as he and his wife prepare to welcome their sixth baby. The former child star, 41, launched a GoFundMe campaign on Thursday, November 5, in an attempt to raise funds to cover expenses associated with their expanding brood and to help finish setting up their new home. Hall shared via the GoFundMe campaign that he was initially hesitant to create the fundraiser but he and his wife, Jill Degroff, had reached the point where he felt it was necessary. “It's now six years since I self-cancelled, and I have avoided doing one of these in all that time. I always said this was my choice, and so I didn't want to offload the glorious burden of it unless there was no other choice. Well here we are,” Hall, who is best known for his role as Alfalfa in The Little Rascals, wrote. Hall shared that he and his family were working hard towards finding their feet in their new property in rural Arkansas but challenges had arisen. “We've made it onto the new land in record time, but I'm a few materials short of having things working right, and I've fallen a little behind on the few bills we have (phone, propane for the camper, and an unexpected electric hookup service fee),” he explained. Hall continued, “We're all overjoyed to be where we are, and we're even enjoying roughing it, but baby six is less than a month away, and I really need some help getting the last few things buttoned up beforehand. The father-of-five said he wanted to get everything sorted before his wife gives birth and acknowledge that he isn’t the only one doing it tough at the moment. “My hope is to finalize everything here over the next two weeks so I can take some work until the baby arrives,” he wrote. “Times are hard for everyone, and I'm no more deserving than anyone else, but I ask in your charity that you help where you can, whether monetarily, by sharing this, or by prayer and sacrifice for the Hall-Barnetts of the Holy Cross.” The GoFundMe’s stated goal was set at $2,000. At time of publication, Hall had received more than $9,000 from 102 donations. Hall’s campaign comes after he was arrested in Ohio in April after failing to appear in court, according to multiple reports. The actor missed a December 31, 2024, court date tied to an October 29, 2024, traffic citation for driving without liability insurance. He was charged with failure to appear. Hall left Hollywood behind in 2020 in a bid to embrace a self-described “radical Catholic extremist” lifestyle off-the-grid as he took a “vow of poverty,” according to the Daily Mail.

Why These Bell-Bottom Jeggings Are the Talk of the Town New

Why These Bell-Bottom Jeggings Are the Talk of the Town

Finding jeans that look great but also feel great can seem like an impossible task. Between stiff denim, restrictive waistbands and buttons that dig into your tummy every time you sit down, it’s hard not to just pull on leggings instead. However, the Rammus Bell-Bottom Jeggings just might offer the best of both worlds. These $33 Amazon pants look just like stylish flared jeans, but according to shoppers, they “feel like yoga pants.” There’s also another reason why these stretchy jeggings are earning rave reviews: their cleverly designed waistband. Instead of a traditional button-and-zipper closure, they feature a V-shaped crossover waist that creates a flattering cinched-in effect without squeezing your midsection. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference, especially if you’ve ever spent an entire day counting down the minutes until you can change out of your jeans. See it! Get the Rammus Bell Bottom Jeggings for $33 (was $40) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change. The secret to their comfort lies in their soft, stretchy material that moves with your body instead of restricting it. Unlike traditional rigid denim, these jeggings offer the flexibility you’d expect from your go-to pair of workout leggings, making them a comfy option for long days spent sitting, standing or even running errands. Meanwhile, the flared legs create a retro-inspired silhouette that feels far more fashionable than everyday yoga pants.

Pair these bottoms with an oversized turtleneck and ankle boots for a casual fall outfit, or add a cropped sweater and sneakers for an off-duty look. If you want to dress them up, try a tucked-in blouse, a structured blazer and heeled boots. The crossover waistband is especially flattering with shorter or fitted tops. “I absolutely love these jeans,” wrote one five-star Amazon shopper. “They feel like yoga pants but with a thicker, more structured denim material. As someone who’s curvy, I usually hate when jean buttons dig into my stomach, but these are so comfortable and don’t do that at all.” It’s also impossible not to fall in love with the fabric. “The material is incredibly soft and stretchy, feeling just like a high-quality pair of athletic leggings, yet they look completely like a stylish pair of street-wear bell bottoms,” wrote another five-star reviewer. “The V-shaped crossover waistband is insanely flattering, hugs my waist perfectly, and stays put without rolling down. You don’t have to settle for jeans that have you reaching for your leggings by lunchtime. These $33 bell-bottom jeggings are the Amazon cart addition you’ll want to wear all day.

Bonnie Wright's Heartfelt Update on Her Newborn's Hospital Stays

Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright is sharing an update after her newborn son, Aster, had been hospitalized multiple times since his birth. “Our sweet little Aster has been to the hospital 6 times in his 5 weeks of life.” Wright, 35, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, November 7, sharing a photo of herself holding the infant in a medical facility. “Getting treatment for a condition we knew he’d be born with.” Wright and her husband, Andrew Lococo, welcomed Aster late last month. (The couple, who have been married since 2022, also share 2-year-old son Elio.) Wright did not immediately disclose Aster’s condition, as she thanked her tireless support system for lending a hand during the ordeal.

Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour Finale: What Really Happened After the Macklemore Controversy? New

Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour Finale: What Really Happened After the Macklemore Controversy?

Ed Sheeran is marking the conclusion of the United States leg of his Loop Tour following controversy with his support acts. “Thank you Tampa, that’s the end of the North American stadium tour,” Sheeran, 35, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 8, sharing footage from his Florida concert the night before. “See you soon Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.” In the footage, the Grammy winner took a bow in front of thousands of cheering fans. Sheeran’s Loop Tour has been embroiled in scandal after opening act Macklemore was dismissed by the touring company for chanting “Free Palestine” at two September concerts in New Jersey. Several of Sheeran’s opening acts, including Finneas and Lukas Graham, left the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, as did the “Thinking Out Loud” crooner’s backing band. Related: Ed Sheeran Says He's 'So Sorry' at Philly Show After Macklemore Controversy Ed Sheeran returned to his Loop Tour after opening act Macklemore was dropped from the lineup for making pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. “Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran, 35, told fans during the Saturday, September 19, concert at the Lincoln Financial […] Sheeran denied personally firing Macklemore, 43, from the roster as he tried to distance himself from the political commentary surrounding the scandal. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that I’ve even done it. You know, it’s normal,” Sheeran said during his September 19 show, addressing the backlash. “This week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take [it in] and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so so sorry.” The British performance further stressed that he never wants to “disappoint fans” but hasn’t thought of himself as an activist. Related: Ed Sheeran Makes Huge Change to 'Loop Tour' Amid Macklemore Controversy Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour looked very different from what fans may have expected when the singer-songwriter took to the stage in Philadelphia. On Saturday, September 19, multiple fan accounts revealed the staging for that night’s gig at Lincoln Financial Field would not include a B-stage. Sheeran, 35, has traditionally performed fan requests on this secondary […] “This has put me in the middle of an important, passionate argument about freedom of speech on the most complex issue on the planet,” Sheeran continued. “[My music] has always been a safe space for everyone. That matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely essential to who I am. That is why I’m here tonight — on my own — continuing my own tour.” Sheeran continued his Loop Tour as scheduled, enlisting a new backing band and support acts. “I just want to say before they come onstage, they said yes to being onstage with the knowledge that the world thought I was a certain type of person,” he said in September of his new band. “They said yes with the knowledge that the world may hate them too for standing on stage with me, and I am so grateful for them being here tonight and standing on stage with me in front of you guys.” Macklemore, for his part, has pledged to keep advocating for the Palestinian cause and performed three European benefit concerts last month. He is hoping to bring the shows across the pond but has yet to find venues to host the shows.
