State House Democrats' budget plan would delay funding for K-12 schools
State House Democrats unveiled their $30.7 billion supplemental spending proposal that aims to fix the state's budget shortfall, primarily by delaying funding for K-12 public schools.
The delay in education funding into the 2013-15 biennium would account for $400 million of the $900 million in savings the Democrats say they will achieve with their proposal.
The plan would also cut nearly $82 million in local government aid for criminal justice and courts funding. And it would cut the Department of Corrections spending, reducing community supervision of released offenders and for chemical dependency programs.
The plan would also cut more than 1,500 state government jobs, and reduce the amount of employee allocation spending for health care and other insurance benefits.
It would also get $18 million from ending a mortgage-interest tax break that benefits large out-of-state banks.
The Democrats said their plan will save nearly $900 million without having to raise the state sales tax by a half-cent, which Gov. Christine Gregoire proposed.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, said, "These are the big changes in the budget. In the state revenue picture, we can no longer afford many things."
House Republicans countered, however, that delaying funding to education doesn't solve the budget crisis, it simply delays it.
The state Senate Democrats will likely unveil their budget proposal next week. The 60-day legislative session is set to end March 8.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

The Country Music Awards honored the best in the business Wednesday night on ABC6.
15-year-old Sydney Amaral of North Dartmouth is hoping to be on that same stage some day.
Amaral will be competing this weekend at The New England Country Showdown Country Star Search in Bedford Mass.
She's been singing for as long as she can remember.
"I think it's like the best feeling to be doing what you love and also making other people happy," said Amaral.
For her country music is more than just music.
"I think that country is very meaningful, like the lyrics are always very meaningful. You can relate to them and it's like feel good music, it makes you happy," said Amaral.
Regardless of what happens this weekend her parents are her biggest fans.
"If she doesn't win I am still proud of her," said Ilda Amaral.
ABC6 will keep you posted on Amaral's competition.

Have not used the tarp yet, but my friend has the same tarp and I have been wanting one for sometime, actually I purchased two and the free shipping offer made up my mind instantly. As usual, was not disappointed with the product once it arrived and can not wait to use it.
Perfect size and weight for backpacking. Provides extra coverage for cooking and storing gear in bad weather. There is just not enough room in a 1 person tent. This tarp is very versatile.
The tarp does a great job. Wish I had bought more!
I was so surprised at the quality of this tarp that I wanted to get another one, but they were no longer available.
Excellent and will work perfectly with hammock, while saving $200. Needs ridgeline loops/stays...

Located on the North Devon coast, Ilfracombe is a Victorian seaside town with a small harbour. The steep cliffs lead down to sandy beaches which are popular with families. The landmarks include the Iron Age fortress on Hillsborough Hill, the modern Landmark Theatre and St Nicholas Chapel on Lantern Hill. The town has a busy High Street and many charming restaurants on the roads leading down to the harbour. The notable architecture includes a corner shop built in Flemish style in 1899 and the historic Royal Clarence Hotel façade.
The area offers many delightful walks with breathtaking coastal scenery. The scenic coastal path leads westerly from the harbour over the headland to the bay at Lee where an excellent lunch can be enjoyed in the gardens of the local inn. The wild Exmoor coast starts just 9 miles from your Ilfracombe holiday rental.
Ilfracombe has a lively calendar of cultural events, many of which are centred on the Landmark Theatre. Beaches
As well as the main beach, Ilfracombe has a Blue Flag Tunnels Beach, accessed via a tunnel which was hand carved through the rock by miners in 1820. It has an old Bath House and a pump house which still pumps seawater into the swimming pools.
Combe Martin is one of the longest villages in England, straggling up the river valley for several miles. It has a small beach with a river running through it. Browse the local gift shops and look for the interesting Pack o' Cards Inn, which was built in the style of a House of Cards, allegedly from the winnings of a card game.
The National Trust property of Arlington Court includes a historic Carriage Museum. Located near Barnstaple, this Regency House has a wonderfully furnished interior and picturesque gardens.
Overlooking Watermouth Cove, this impressive castle is the site of a family theme park. There are plenty of rides and activities including a nostalgic display of antique pier machines, rides, mystical water gardens and a maze.
Located in the southwest of England, the area around Ilfracombe generally has mild winters and reasonably warm, sunny summers with occasional showers. Average daily high temperatures throughout the year range from 9-21°C (48-70°F) with the heaviest rain showers between October and January.
The best way to get to Ilfracombe is to drive. Follow the M5 south to Bridgwater then take the slow but scenic A39 coastal road and the A399 to Ilfracombe. Driving is also the best way to get around and explore this delightful area.

It is a major task: find and alert about 500 United States airline travelers from 34 different states they may have been exposed to a deadly new respiratory virus coming out of the Middle East, known as MERS.
That's what the CDC's Dr. David Swerdlow, the MERS incident commander, and his team are doing right now.
"We're telling them that, unfortunately, there was a patient with MERS on their airplane, and while we don't think there's a big risk, we don't know at this point. It's a new virus," said Swerdlow.
The CDC is working with state health departments, asking the passengers to donate a blood sample, to see if there is any evidence they were exposed to MERS on their flight. Dr. Swerdlow says the serum tests will hopefully help them learn more about how MERS is transmitted.
"It's all out of an abundance of caution, we don't necessarily think people are at high-risk, we just don't want to take any chances with this virus," said Swerdlow.
The 44 year old Saudi healthcare worker, who became the second imported U.S. case of MERS, developed a cough and fever on May 1 while traveling on four flights. He flew from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to London, and from London to Boston. Then he stopped over at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport before flying on to Orlando. Nine days later he was hospitalized there.
The Georgia Department of Public Health's Dr. Pat O'Neal, the state's Director of Health Protection, says the state is reaching out to 90 Georgians on the two U.S. flights, most traveling from Boston to Atlanta.
"I'm not terribly alarmed, I'm not terribly frightened. But I do feel we need to keep folks aware of the possibility that we will receive more cases. And we do need to be vigilant," said O'Neal.
Georgia hospitals and ERs are already on alert, thanks to state health officials. But, Dr. O'Neal says his department is also sending out letters on Wednesday to thousands of primary care doctors, pediatricians and urgent care centers. They are asking them to watch for MERS and call the state if they suspect a patient may be ill with the virus. Dr. O'Neal says they're asking health care providers to ask patients with flu-like symptoms about recent travel to the Middle East, a hotbed for MERS right now with more than 500 of the cases originating there.
"We need to know travel histories when we have anyone who shows up with symptoms of respiratory disease," said O'Neal.
MERS is concerning because it's deadly, killing about a third of those infected. There's no treatment, or vaccine for this virus, but there hasn't been any sustained human to human transmission. Dr. Swerdlow says we need to be alert, but not alarmed.
"Do we think there's a risk a few cases could come back? Absolutely. We need to be prepared for those. Do we think there's need for widespread concern? No," said Swerdlow.
The FOX Medical Team's Beth Galvin shows us new tactics doctors are trying, to help patients tackle anxiety.

HAZLEHURST, Ga. - Atlanta. June 1936. A few patches of the horse-and-buggy Old South remained as the once slow-moving city first named Terminus and then Marthasville began emerging into the glass-towered mega-metropolis that it is today.

I recently had a break in, and the thief took jewelry and a Rolex watch my father gave my fiance.
Well,..when I did call USAA, the initial person I spoke to was nice,..then it turned ugly.
During the robbery I had some figurines on a stand that were broken, most were crystal elephants. There were other figurines that were broken as well, more like collector items.
When I told the claims adjuster what items were broken and stolen, she sighed. I can hear her actually sighing as she took the statement.
Now,..the strange part is,..the claims person I gave the statement to, is not the adjuster signed to my claim.
I have yet to actually speak to her, we've only communicated via email.
Well my fiance was getting tired of all the run around that USAA was putting us through. They asked for replacement cost on each item, so I went on the web and found each item and and the replacement cost.
Not only have they not processed the claim, they sent out an investigator!
This man asked me questions that were totally off the wall!
Asking me how many other claims I'd had, where did my father buy the watch, who did I give certain jewelry to.
He also wanted to see the entry point of where the thief broke in, so I showed him, then he wanted to see the jewelry box which was in our bedroom, now..my fiance was asleep in the bedroom and when I told the investigator this, his response was: "I'll just take a quick peek."
I was outraged! He continued to ask me tons of questions, even personal things which I felt had no relevance to the claim.
I asked him was all this necessary and he never responded.
So after he finished his interrogation, he asked me "what have you learned?"
What in the h*ll?? That was just crazy!
Here I was devastated that someone broke into my home,..broke things, took things and upset my entire well being,..and to have an insurance investigator come in and act like you are to blame!!!
USAA has always been good about replacing any piece of jewelry that I've lost, they've been good about replacing things when we've had them damaged by water. Now I have to go through being interrogated by an investigator.
I understand an insurance company making sure claims are legitimate, but this incident took it to a whole new level!
The man was uncaring and very smug, he looked around my house as though I'm not suppose to have nice things, that because of the pricey items that were stolen and broken that we are trying to get over on USAA.
I felt violated again by this man, and no longer trust USAA for any of my insurance needs.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) -- Roanoke school officials say there have been no additional confirmed cases of tuberculosis at a school where one student was diagnosed with the illness.
A posting on the school system's website says a letter updating the situation at William Fleming High School will be sent home with students on Thursday.
Roanoke health officials identified 150 students and employees at the school who might have been exposed to tuberculosis. Media outlets report that all but two people have been tested.
Testing began Dec. 6 and is continuing.

Event Calendar and locale
30 May 2009 at 12:49am
I am using the Event Calendar module, and I really like it. The only problem I have, is that it uses the english day and month names and also the am/pm time format. Is there anything I can do, so that I have the german versions of these items?

Is your locale set to de_DE? The module should include a /lang/de_DE.php
There's a lot you can do to customize your date display. By default, the calendar will fall back on your lang file to get the date display format for your locale. If you want to customize it, you can specify an override in the $customDateDisplay array that comes with event_calendar/_config.php.
I know it's a huge thread, but we developed this recently in the Preview: Event Calendar Module thread. You may have to go back several pages. I worked with a German user, Banal, to develop the localization. That's the best source of documentation we have for it right now, unfortunately. I hope to get it into the wiki soon. If you're having trouble with it, just paste your code and I can help you out.

Hello Alexanm,
I use the latest release of UncleCheese´s module and I had the same problems as you. I tweeked the two files that he metioned and now the calendar is perfectly in german text and date format. I suggest you just override your existing files with my appended files and your done.

Hello Uncle Cheese,
yes my locale is set to de_DE, and yes I have added the language file for the de_DE locale. The dates and times themself are shown in the german format eg.: dd.mm.yyyy. The Problem I have is, that the month names are in english. It says May instead of Mai. And it says 08:00pm instead of 20:00. This are the things I'd like to get rid of.
I have just downloaded the latest trunk version and replaced the files as suggested by baba-bapa. Ok his file changes the date display form showing the month names to only showing the number (01.5.2009 instead of 01. May 2009), but that not a solution for the time display or the month names showed in the filters.
I have reead somewhere, that you also have to change the locale of php itself by using the setlang function. I did it, but there was no change in the date display.
Any other ideas?
When you go to http://www.government-first.at/appointments you can see what I mean.

Hello baba-bapa,
are you sure that with your configuration, the dates are shown with the german names? I have checked out the latest version of the event calendar and put in your files. But the month names remained for example May instead of Mai. And the time says 08:00pm instead of 20:00. Are there any other things to do (As I already asked in my previous answer to UncleCheese' post)?

Hi, guys,
My apologies.. It looks like the de_DE.php lang file was never checked into SVN. Run an update and see if that helps you out. My understanding is that if you have your locale set to de_DE, you shouldn't have to do any overrides to get German date formatting and language. I'm going to test it in a moment to be sure.
As for times, by default, the $_Times function runs the .Nice() format. You can change that by using your own
$StartTime.Format(h:i:s) $EndTime.Format(h:i:s) or whatever you want to use.
Just be sure that you're making the changes in your mysite/templates directory and not in event_calendar, so that you can upgrade the module without overwriting any of your changes.

Hello Alexamn,
sorry, I realized that I did a lot more changes to the source code. Some changes have to be done in the template files as well. It took me a long time to search. Maybe you try my hole module. It might be, that I changed some objects of sapphire.
Thanks for all your work. Your module is great and always getting better. I will download your latest de_DE.php.

Hi folks,
dont know whether I should have started a new thread for this...
It seems to me that Event Calendar currently does not check whether Translatable is being used, but uses the default locale instead. I came across this on a site with German as default language, where I added an supposedly English translation. So on my English calendar, phrases like the RSS subscription link and "There are no upcoming events" are still in German.

Real Democracy: Corporations and the Bill of Rights
From ReclaimDemocracy.org:
Our Bill of Rights was the result of tremendous efforts to institutionalize and protect the rights of human beings. It strengthened the premise of our Constitution: that the people are the root of all power and authority for government. This vision has made our Constitution and government a model emulated in many nations.
But corporate lawyers (acting as both attorneys and judges) subverted our Bill of Rights in the late 1800's by establishing the doctrine of "corporate personhood"—the claim that corporations were intended to fully enjoy the legal status and protections created for human beings.
Unfortunately, in our "democracy" the average person has less democratic power than the average for-profit corporation. While citizens' rights are being taken away by counterterrorism law and policy, corporations are gaining power.
Corporations and National Security Policy
The federal government frequently contracts with private corporations, such as Lockheed Martin and Halliburton, to enhance defense and homeland security. For instance, Accenture recently contracted with the DHS to develop technology systems for US-VISIT, a program that has been heavily criticized by privacy advocates. The contract could be worth up to $10 billion dollars over the next decade. Corporations also play a role in passing legislation that will promote their interests, often at the expense of civil liberties. For example, the for-profit prison industry was instrumental in writing and passing the controversial SB 1070 passed in Arizona in 2010. Additionally, corporations have benefited from the Iraq War. For more information, read David Nordberg's Corporations are the Only Winners in Occupation of Iraq.
For an in-depth analysis of how corporations benefit from national security policy, read the November 2001 edition of the Multinational Monitor: Corporations and National Security.
Corporate Immunity, Legal Responsibility
In a May 22, 2003 Executive Order, President Bush granted legal immunity to oil companies operating in Iraq. For more information, read EarthRights International's legal analysis of the order or this Common Dreams article. The legal immunity of corporations involved in defense and national security is also a major obstacle for redressing Constitutional Rights violations that occur at corporate prisons.
There are means to hold corporations legally responsible for violating international human rights. For information on a lawsuit charging corporate involvement in Iraqi prisoner torture, see this fact sheet from the Center for Constitutional Rights.
Another contentious area of corporate rights is "commercial speech" protected by the First Amendment. For an idea of some of the issues facing this area of the law, read Democracy v. Corporate 'Free Speech' by Jeffrey Kaplan and Jeff Milchen.
Corporations and Privacy Rights
Corporations continue to gain power and influence in the United States, often at the expense of individual privacy rights. In June 2011, the Supreme Court ruled against a state law in Vermont that banned the buying and selling of prescription records. The court's ruling will allow pharmacies to sell prescription records to data-mining companies, who then sell records to drug companies. In this case, the privacy of patients and doctors has been compromised to the benefit of corporations. To learn more about this case, read Supreme Court Hands Drug Companies Twin Wins
With this background, BORDC believes it is important for Americans to envision a way to create real democracy, a democracy where people are the source of the government's authority. While this task is admittedly not an easy one, it is crucial to the survival of our civil rights and liberties.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Forty Wisconsin counties declined slightly in population from 2010 to 2013, according to the most recent estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The declines affected mostly smaller counties that have struggled to maintain population levels during the past decade.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that only two counties with more than 100,000 people — Racine and Sheboygan — lost people since 2010.
Rusk and Price counties shrank by the largest percentage, both by about 2.2 percent. Wood County lost the greatest number of people at 821.
Still, the growth in some of the larger counties counterbalanced the modest declines in rural Wisconsin.
Overall, the state's population increased by 53,653, or less than 1 percent, to 5,742,713.

PAWTUCKET — Clayton Mortensen's 2013 season has featured a wide range of emotions.
From making Boston's Opening Day roster to landing on the disabled list with a right groin strain to getting designated for assignment for the first time ever, the 28-year-old Mortensen is living baseball proof that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Moving past what seemingly must feel like a lifetime's worth of transactions that were compartmentalized into a short period has perhaps been reconcilable thanks to the right-handed pitcher's new role with the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Beginning Monday, high school football coaches and players around Rhode Island will officially take the first steps – baby ones, mind you – in a journey that both parties hope culminates with the following symbolic gesture: Dumping a large bucket of ice water on the Super Bowl-winning coach come the first weekend in December.
High school students across Rhode Island are organizing a drive collecting school supplies for young children in need this fall. All collections from this drive will benefit Children's Friend, a charity focused on assisting challenged children and families of Rhode Island.
The 20 students involved with the drive will all set up collection sites at their schools for classmates and teachers to drop off donations. Approximately 15 schools ranging across Rhode Island will be participating in the drive.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Imagine is a great school. I have been here for many years and have not found anything wrong with it. I recommend this school to everyone. Go Imagine Lions!!!!!!!
This school is amazing! I have had the pleasure of sending my child to Imagine for 3 incredible years and have nothing but great things to say about the staff and environment. People complain that Mrs. O'Grady is never in her office but really... do we want a principal who stays in her office all day? I for one am ecstatic when I see either the principal or AP walking around classrooms. Is it too much to ask of us to make an appointment? I know that the administration has an open door policy, but I for one do not expect them to be at our beckon call. I for one am excited about the new changes in leadership as well. I am confident in knowing that Mrs. Kendall will fill Mrs. O'Grady's shoes perfectly as she has been under the direction of her since the very beginning and they share the same vision. It's cool knowing that she has served in many roles so she has an idea of the inner workings of the school. Im sure in some roles she has had - that at the end of the day, because of decisions that have to be made, will ultimately leave some people unhappy. To those unhappy - it IS a school of choice!!
My son has been here for three years now. The teachers are exceptional and caring , curriculum is challenging. My son is so happy here.
This school is incredibly unorganized, complete chaos.Lacks emphasis on education itself.Character development alone will not get your child into any college.I wish the principal along with all parties involved in the school's development would realize that. It is a low grade charter school where the focus lays on fundraising and parents to be "plugged in" as in continous physical presence in the classroom.Do yourself and your kid a favor and send them to the public school since this charter school does not outperform the public school. Terrible school!
AWESOME my son had mrs mayhew last year he did not want to leave her class she is a great teacher . he still goes in her room to see her and give her BIG hugs . I LOVE THIS SCHOOL and more important my son loves going to school thank you
Imagine Schools at Town Center has truly been the greatest support for our child. They have worked with us in helping our child meet with success. He came in from public school system in Second Grade and was reading in the 17 percentile. The teachers truly care for the success of their students and our child now feels like he is in a very safe environment that wants to help him with his learning differences. Our son is now is 6th Grade and meeting with great success. Thank you Imagine!
This is my third year here, to be honest, this is the worst year I've had. Next year, if your child is going to be in Middle School, if he/she is assigned with Mrs. Rodriguez, ask for Mrs. Casher. Reading, science, or civics? You won't have a problem with them, you'll think Mrs. Gordon (Science) is weird, but you'll get used to her. Back to math, watch out for both math teachers. Mrs. Rodriguez is supposedly "Advanced mathematics", but she is just simply full of boredom. She constantly threatens her students with detentions, and doesn't care about your child. Mrs. Casher is moody and miserable. At Open House, you'll think she's awesome, but towards the middle of the year, you'll dislike her. She writes you up for no reason, and obviously plans to dominate the world... Overall, I wouldn't reccommend this school, especially the disorganized and lazy administration.
We moved to Palm Coast in June not knowing the schools and placed our son the school that was our home school close to our home. He was bullied at that school and dreaded going to school and we started looking at options for him. We are so thankful to have found Imagine School as he is being challenged in his education and is growing and learning so much. His teacher is fantastic and very communicative. We love that parents have to be involved. Great academics, communication, and collaboration.
My family and I moved to the PC area almost 2 yrs ago in the middle of the year for my girls. We didn't know the schools but they went to a public school we lived near. I was totally unhappy and searched around for another school. I was told about Imagine and while taking a tour, my husband and I fell in LOVE. The middle school students help assist the elementary teachers durring their free periods. Everyone helps everyone. My kids are known by many teachers not just their own. I am recognized and greeted by all staff as I walk through the school. They allow me to stop in at any time and welcomed warmly. My kids enjoy going to school more than ever at Imagine!
This is my first experience with Imagine Schools and I am quite satisfied. The teachers, staff, and volunteers are extremely helpful and happy. My son was in a private school with a class of mixed grades. Bullying, and other unmentionables were tolerated and not dealt with at the school. The disciplinary action, and the organization is the best part of the school. It shows that children can and will be responsible adults. I thank all of the staff and those that os making it possible to run a successful school!
We had a terrible year at Imagine this year and my child will not be going back. Lisa O'Grady is the principal but you can never get a hold of her. I have been told that she wasn't there and then walked in to find her to definitely be there. I have left messages that were never returned. I hear teachers and staff talking openly about a parent they don't like or a child's behavior. These things should be kept confidential. No one seems to be interested in resolving a problem to the parent's satisfaction. The attitude seems to be "if you don't like it - tough" My child has always loved school, but this year at Imagine has ruined the feeling and all I hear is "I hate school" This is terrible and we have a lot of healing to recover from this devastating year. Please consider another school. This one does not care about your child.
This is my 7th grader's first year at Imagine and he continually tells me how much he likes it. He's getting straight A's, works hard, and has a deep respect for his teachers (which surprised me coming from a 13 year old!) The teachers are well educated and excited by what they do. At conferences time all five of his teachers sat with me as a group and together shared his progress. What a great way to get feedback. Most importantly the teachers show a love for their jobs and respect for my son, which I know makes him happy to go to school each day...and want to learn more. He does do PE, art and music...so don't worry. They are getting all that. As for the school as a whole, there's a wonderful sense of community there. It certainly feels like a welcoming place. My twins will be starting Kindergarten there in the fall!!!
I am so happy that I have all THREE of my children at Imagine. My only regret is that I didn't enroll them sooner. EVERYONE is so nice. Regardless how busy the day is for Mrs. O'Grady, she is out there every a.m. helping the kids out of the car "with a smile." As soon as you walk into the building you are greeted by Ms. Butler who is always professional. The kids just love her. There are teachers who aren't my kids teachers who know me by first name and know all my kids. They always say hi when you pass by them. The entire staff has been so helpful and I know if I or my children needed anything that I can go to anyone of them and get RESULTS! My children are so happy to be attending Imagine. They do have PE, Music, Art, and Library time. They also get to go on field trips unlike they did at Public School. The ladies in the cafeteria have gotten to know my children's face just by them going through the lunch line and know them now by first name. They see them on campus and always say HI. This is a very family oriented school which is great. There isn't one teacher that I've met there that I wouldn't want my child to have. WE LOVE IMAGINE and THE IMAGINE FAMILY!
The office staff is very disrespectful especially Marie. The school staff say they wants the students to be honest, respectful, and integrity and yet they lack that themselves. If you need principal O' Grady for any reason they say that she is busy and they give you her voice mail. Kristy Kendall lacks ethics and a moral compass and should not be in a position of disciplining the students when she acts as bad as they do. My children frequently come come with bumps and bruises. This school has a discipline problem. The teachers are very confrontational you cannot talk with them civil about your concerns about you child without them taking offense. In fact the front office worker Marie told me to that Imagine is a choice school so if I don't like the school to send my children elsewhere ....that's real professionalism there... And the PTO meetings are worthless its just a bunch of egos. Until this school makes some serious changes you are better off sending your child to public school or another private school.
My daughter used to go to Belle Terre were she was intimidated and teacher screamed at her she was getting sick in the mornings not wanting to go to school for the first nine weeks in first grade. I had no choice but to place her at Imagine School which is 25mins away from my home. Ever since my daughter started this school she had a big change in attitude and in learning. Very happy with Imagine they all work together as a team and focus on important things and most important RESPECT! She will definitely finish all the way thru 8grade.
I transferred my son to Imagine to repeat kindergarten last year. Within 1 week all teachers working the car rider line new his name and greeted him warmly. Uniforms not only make our mornings easy but instill a sense of responsibility in my son - he knows when he puts on his uniform he's going to "work". The school just started an after school performing arts program that we're very excited about! Parent involvement is mandatory which helps in countless ways. Highly recommend! (A comment was made about the car-rider line in a previous post. It is working smoothly now. I heard many parents from other schools moaning during those first few weeks as well.)
The post from September 4th obviously has never been in ISTC. The school offers PE, Art, Music and array of after school activities that have done great things in our community (featured in all local newspapers). Its seems that this person did not receive a job so lets bash a school. The teachers are awesome, the programs cater to the individual student and as far as the building or pick up line; instead of complaining parents, do something about it!! Talk to your child's teacher, volunteer to help with the line. Every school has problems to solve; only Imagine will let the parents be part of the solution!
What good is a school if social programs such as PE, Art and other classes of the such are not offered. Most schools offer these yet imagine does not. Also, I think that as long as your a friend of a friend of a friend of you dog groomers cousin, you can get a teaching job here. It's who you know, not what you know or how you teach. Not happy with this school. Also heard that although more buildings were built , the financial mess that the school is in, will be exposed soon.
Is anyone out there paying attention to the new "pick-up" line after school. Outrageous and demonstrates a total lack of planning. Let's increase the student population by aprox. 400 without any consideration or planning for the increase in traffic flow. We're now driving on sidewalks to get the children! Laughable if not so sad, and don't forget to allow another 1/2 tank of gas a week just to idle in the heat for 1/2 or more. Even the sheriff's assisting traffic are not happy about this total lack of foresight by the school causing traffic jams. Common sense literally went out with the baby's bath water on this one!!!
Imagine is the best school in Flagler County by far...Moved our son here mid-year, he so much happier and his school work has improved drastically. He was so far behind from Belle Terre. At imagine they take their time with the students and spend some actual one on one time with them which is so important and most public schools do not have the time or care to do this..My son is not just another body at this school the Staff are wonderful and all take the time to get to know the students on a personal level everyone knows our son there and he feels important..All I can say is wonderful things about this school, too many to list..

Three months following the town council's approval of funds to improve Windsor High's varsity baseball field, the field has begun to show signs of a new day for Warriors baseball, and an improved experience for spectators and players, alike.
With over four months to go until the diamond fills with players, the field on Sage Park Road looks pristine. A renovated irrigation system, raised pitcher's mound and manicured base paths are just the beginning — two nearly completed dugouts round out the field's long-overdue overhaul.
The improvements, while criticized by some as not meeting all the safety or recreational needs of Windsor's baseball players, were approved after extensive lobbying on behalf of baseball parents, players and supporters.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered to you each day. Get the newsletter. "Like" Windsor Patch on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.
The town council unanimously approved funding for the project in July, but not before the town planning and zoning commission shot down the proposal citing a short-sighted vision for baseball play in town.
Planning and zoning commission members refused to support the plan at the time, saying there were still plenty of needed improvements that will not be addressed with the recreation department's plans, including the blinding sun behind the field's backstop that can be a safety hazard for fielders.
The project carries an $80,000 price tag, and has included regrading the infield, resetting home plate and the pitcher's mound, installing sod, adding clay mix to the infield, construction of dugouts, improved irrigation, replacement of the outfield fence and fence repairs behind home plate.

A burglary investigation leads federal authorities to solving a much bigger case in Cochise County.
Kirby Fulton, 38, has been on the wanted list since 2010 when authorities indicted him on charges of making, possessing and storing explosives inside a Sierra Vista home.
Authorities say pipe bombs were found in the home on White Wing Road, and the man accused of making them is now in federal custody.
U.S. Marshals picked him up from his home on Barataria Street. Cochise County officials said three men, including Fulton, broke into the garage and stole $30,000 worth of guns, ammunition and an ATV.
Officials said they believe the men were taking the gun powder out of these explosives to use for other purposes.
"That's crazy stuff," said Miguel Muzico, a concerned neighbor. "[I] don't know something like this going on here."
"I think 'Oh my gosh, there should be some better way for people to be informed about this because it's so rural out here [and] you just wouldn't expect that from anybody out here; you think you can trust people."
Tucson News Now talked to a neighbor living next to the home who said he has known the family for decades. He said he was disturbed that this was going on right in his backyard.
"Well I'm certainly surprised he would have anything in that house," neighbor Sheridan Stone said. "Though parents would keep him from doing that, [it's] also dangerous for family... and the whole neighborhood."
Fulton's sick mother still lives in the home; she declines to talk to Tucson News Now.
Fulton also has a warrant out for his arrest in Pima County for trafficking in stolen property.

You Should Be Outraged By Hasbro's $35 Million Executive Compensation Scheme
Ken is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Earlier this month, Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) disclosed that its CEO, Brian Goldner, is entitled to a grant of 587,294 restricted stock units (RSU). The RSUs are conditioned on Mr. Goldner's continued employment with Hasbro through the next five years and on the performance of Hasbro's stock. In order to meet the vesting requirements of the RSUs, Hasbro shares must trade at or above certain price thresholds for at least 30 consecutive trading days between now and 2017. The price thresholds are detailed in this chart:
Source: Hasbro 8-k
Certain commentators are applauding the RSU grant. For example, Seeking Alpha contributor Alan Brochstein argues:
This powerful incentive aligns him well with outside shareholders. There are about 130mm shares, so this "Special RSU Grant" would mean that for him to earn his $35mm (in stock), the value of the company would increase by $2.86 billion. If the stock goes up only 18% (to 44.99), he gets nothing.
I could not disagree more with Mr. Brochstein. The only "outside shareholders" whose interests are aligned with Goldner's RSU Grant are short term traders, not long-term buy-and-hold investors like myself. These are my grievances with Hasbro's Executive Compensation Scheme.
A Rising Ticker Price Isn't Always Good News ...
First, Hasbro is a company with a stock buyback plan in place. The company spent $2.5 billion over the past seven years on share repurchases and has an ongoing repurchase authorization. Investor's who own companies with buybacks shouldn't rejoice when ticker prices start to rise. Certainly, they shouldn't compensate their CEOs based on ticker prices. Resisting the natural urge to celebrate when shares trade higher may seem counterintuitive, so I will turn to the Oracle of Omaha to explain the logic. In Warren Buffett's most recent letter to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) (NYSE: BRK-A) he argues:
If you are going to be a net buyer of stocks in the future, either directly with your own money or indirectly (through your ownership of a company that is repurchasing shares), you are hurt when stocks rise. You benefit when stocks swoon. Emotions, however, too often complicate the matter: Most people, including those who will be net buyers in the future, take comfort in seeing stock prices advance. These shareholders resemble a commuter who rejoices after the price of gas increases, simply because his tank contains a day's supply.
Go-Go Buybacks Go South
We've seen this before with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). Reed Hasting leveraged up Netflix's balance sheet and used some of that cash to fund stock buyback's at increasingly outrageous valuations. This type of activity can induce traders to flood into a stock, but it is damaging to long term business holders. In the case of Netflix, Reed Hastings eventually was forced to dilute shareholders to raise capital after the Quikster debacle. Certainly, Hasbro is not Netflix. Hasbro is a solid and stable company with a lineage stretching back several decades. Its dividend yields over 3%. This is a safe conservative company for investors who need income and expect to see the company continue to unlock the value of its intellectual property. Hasbro is the type of company that retirees should consider holding. These conservative expectations are precisely why shareholders should be wary of go-go stock price compensation schemes that prioritize ticker movements over improved business fundamentals.
Instead of encouraging Mr. Goldner to goose Hasbro's ticker price, the board should consider alternative approaches. For example, Goldner's pay might be linked to improving fundamental business metrics. Paying down debt, improving Return on Invested Capital, and turning around flagging sales are good starting points for alternative compensation schemes. Another area where I would love to see Goldner focus is on continuing to rebrand Hasbro's toys for the 21st century. Compensating our CEO for continuing to successfully integrate iconic brands like Furby with Apple's iPad are moves I can get behind.
Mr. Goldner, You Make Me Paranoid!
A second reason I hate this trade-based compensation scheme is because it makes me more paranoid when I read into Goldner's management decisions. Case in point: Hasbro reported its third quarter earnings a couple days ago. On the conference call, the company boasted that it is investing less in creating new content for its children's television network, The Hub. I could be convinced that rerunning old content is a smart move to exploit the "Long Tail" of existing cartoons. Unfortunately, that will take a lot more convincing because Hasbro's CEO will make millions of dollars if he can cut the fat from long-term projects (like making new cartoons) in order to give margins a short term boost. This is similar to the sinking feeling I get when a technology CEO cuts R&D dollars to give earnings a quick, yet short lived, kick in the pants. Or is it more like the boat captain who needs to make his balance sheet add up, so he auctions off the sails?
Trusting the CEOs who run the companies I own is essential. I don't want to trade in and out of companies based on every twist and turn in the road. I want to be able to take a nap and wake up in five years with the business brighter, debt lighter, and a clear runway to success. With Hasbro, I can't turn off the talking heads on CNBC. I need to start worrying. Thanks to this compensation scheme, I need to interrogate every move Mr. Goldner makes.
The Ideal CEO Thinks Like an Owner-Founder
My ideal CEO is a leader who acts as an "owner-founder." Matt Koppenheffer wrote a fanastic article that details the arguments in favor of buying shares of companies with CEOs who are a class above Mr. Goldner. Investors should read Koppenheffer's article and then encourage Hasbro's board to do the same.
Goldner's RSUs vest in 2017. Five years might seem like a long time, but I don't think it is that long. If a CEO has an opportunity to make sizable investments that should pay even larger dividends in 7-10 years, I want them to have the flexibility to make those business-wise moves. This is the type of big thinking that underlies Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) CEO's willingness to sacrifice today in order to take market share tomorrow. Jeff Bezos is crushing his company's earnings in the near term in order to expand Amazon's fulfillment network. In Mr. Bezos' own words, "Its all about the long term."
The market might not get these types of "big investments" in the short run, so Hasbro's stock compensation package means Goldner is making a poor choice by rolling out a long term strategy. Some stories take a couple years to play out -- they are not ticker smart, but business smart. If the CEO makes intelligent decisions and has the capacity to communicate those decisions to investors, the stock price will take care of itself.

Field stickers burrowing into your ankles, joyfully, while you take the wrong way/long way
