Hillary Clinton has "grandmother glow" after Charlotte's birth

As she weighs another bid for the White House, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday she has a "grandmother glow" that's fueling her campaign for female empowerment and gender equality around the world.

Speaking to a national convention of female real estate professionals, the former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential contender called on business and political leaders to close the gap in wages and leadership positions between men and women.

A woman in the audience complimented Clinton, telling her she looked "beautiful," and Clinton responded, "I think it is a grandmother glow."

Clinton's first grandchild, Charlotte, was born to her daughter Chelsea and son-in law Marc Mezvinsky last Friday.

During her speech, Clinton said she wanted all women to grow up in a world of "full participation and shared prosperity."

"I think my granddaughter has just as much God-given potential as a boy who was born in that hospital on the same day," she said. "I just believe that. That's the way I was raised."

Hillary Clinton to campaign in New Hampshire for Shaheen, Hassan

CONCORD Potential Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is returning to New Hampshire Nov. 2 to campaign for U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan, according to a Democratic source.

Clinton won the 2008 New Hampshire Presidential primary over Barack Obama, who had won the Iowa caucuses the week before and polls indicated he would win New Hampshire.

Details of Clintons visit are expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Democrats said they are glad to have Clinton come to the state and campaign with them.There is so much at stake for New Hampshire in this election and I couldnt be more grateful to have Secretary Clintons support, said Shaheen. Shes someone Im proud to call a friend, and I cant wait to welcome her back to New Hampshire.

State Sen. Lou DAllesandro, D-Manchester, whose Washington, D.C., fundraiser with Clinton was canceled last week because of the birth of Clintons grandchild, said Im excited to hear shes coming. Its good for the Democratic Party and its good for New Hampshire.

But Republicans had a different view saying its payback for Shaheens husbands work on Clintons 2008 campaign for President against Obama.

Hillary Clinton still owes the Shaheens a political favor for their efforts to smear Barack Obama as a drug dealer during the 2008 New Hampshire Primary, said GOP spokesman Lauren Zelt. Its obvious that Secretary Clintons efforts to prop up Senator Shaheens flailing campaign is an effort to repay her and her husband for their role in this sordid chapter in New Hampshire political history.

State Democratic Party Chair Raymond Buckley said Clintons visit will energize Democrats and help the partys candidates up and down the ticket.

We could not be more excited to welcome Secretary Clinton back to our state, Buckley said. We have a long and special relationship to the Clintons going back decades.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have maintained strong ties to New Hampshire since he first campaigned for President in the Granite State in 1991. Although he finished second in the primary to Paul Tsongas, Clinton dubbed himself the comeback kid and went on to win his partys nomination and defeat then-President George H.W. Bush.

Batavia High School teacher John Dryden retires from school district

BATAVIA Batavia High School social studies teacher John Dryden, who made local and national headlines last year when he instructed his students that they had the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate themselves before answering an in-class survey about emotional and at-risk behavior, has retired from the district.

Dryden contacted Batavia School District 101 officials on Wednesday about wanting to retire. Wednesday was his last day with the district.

On Friday, he formally submitted his retirement letter, said Steve Pearce, the district's assistant superintendent of human resources. Dryden was in his 21st year of service for the school district, Pearce said. The Batavia School Board is set to vote on his retirement agreement during a special meeting Monday.

"We wish Mr. Dryden well in the next phase of his life," Pearce said. "He is closing the chapter on this part of his career."

The Batavia School District 101 board in May 2013 voted to issue a written warning of improper conduct to Dryden for his actions.

Board member Jon Gaspar was the sole board member to vote no.

The notice warned Dryden not to provide legal advice to students, among other things.

Before the board issued the notice, then-Batavia School Superintendent Jack Barshinger docked Dryden a days pay.

Dryden said his actions represented a teachable moment.

Reminding my students they had a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate themselves and asking them to think hard about how they answered questions on a survey on which they were identified and required to answer questions about whether they participated in criminal activity was neither inappropriate nor unprofessional, Dryden stated in his reply to the school district.
