Caught in the storm!
Oh me oh my..... I had some weekend. Well I actually worked most of Saturday and Friday I was supposed to go to Sarasota but I just stayed in town went shopping. Well Nicole called me on Saturday night at Midnight to back out on the Orlando trip to go to church and to do a project. Here is my point of view on this. She forgot to do a project? How do you forget? I mean I graduated high school 2 years ago, I know that they the school system did not change that much, because when I was in school my teachers nagged on us left and right 3 ways from Sunday about our projects that we had due? PLEASE! Anyways I wasn't letting any of that stop me so me and my friend Jen went there. Now I was planning on leaving at 8am when I thought I was going w/Nicole. So I didn't wake up until 11:00 so Jen called me and at 1:00 we head on up, I bought this tinker bell necklace that I have hanging from my rear view mirror, now Jen love Tink so we were going to go all the way down there to buy it. In Lakeland we stopped at Cracker barrel. Anyways so my dumb-ass missed the exit on I-4 and thought I knew a short cut, boy was I DEAD wrong. We end up at downtown disney 45 minutes later. We get there and it down poors. I thought it was a typhoon. Come to find out there was a Tornado watch. I drove us into a damn tornado. We were there for not even 20 minutes and we went back to the car, more like swam to the car.....Then was suck in traffic on I-4 for 2 hours. A 2 hour trip ending up being almost 4. Last night my wonderful boyfriend bought me the cutest shirt from the gap. He wouldn't let me see how much he spent on it. I mean I don't care but I don't like it when he spends alot on me because I know that he needs to save his money. He is just so adorable. My face blushes just thinking about him..... So I found out my dance teacher wont be at dance for 2 more weeks, come to find out his appendix (sp?) were ready to burst and he had to go to the hospital... that sucks, poor thing! He wont be there, so do I go to dance and practice the 4 counts we have done for the recital over and over again. Or do I just take those days off. That day this week is the only day I really have off this week, because I am working both jobs this week.DECISIONS SUCK!

Best Chinese in the area by far, great food and fast delivery. Have been using them for over 3 years. Always fairly busy if collecting, and sometimes phone can be engaged when ordering over phone for delivery on first attempt at calling - this is not a negative, it just shows how popular it is!
Tip: Try the Deep Fried Shredded beef with chilli!!

I ordered a meal and waited over two hours and still no delivery. They got the phone number down wrongly, even though I had to repeat it over three times. Not impressed as they had the correct address and they are a few streets away.

Unless you plan to file for a six-month extension, your individual income tax return is due on April 15th, a mere three weeks away.
Among the dozens of annoying questions I endure on a weekly basis this time of year, perhaps the most frustrating are the variations of this common theme:
Is April 15th a real deadline deadline?
Allow me to answer those questions with a question of my own — What has the IRS ever done to lead you to believe that they are in the business of making requests rather than demands?
So yes, the April 15th deadline is not a suggestion; it is a real deadline with real consequences. Fail to file by April 15th – or procure the afore-mentioned six-month extension – and if you end up owing tax with the return, you're going to get drilled with penalties.
Failure to File
Section 6651(a)(1) provides that if you fail to file your return by April 15th – or obtain the six-month extension – for each month or fraction of a month the return is late, you must pay a penalty equal to 5% of the net tax liability due for the year.
To illustrate, assume you fail to obtain an extension and don't get around to filing your 2013 return until November 30, 2014. When you do file the return, it shows a tax liability of $125,000 and estimated payments/withholding of $25,000, for a net tax due of $100,000.
Under Section 6651(a)(1), in addition to the $100,000 net tax liability due to the IRS, you will be subject to a penalty of 5% of $100,000 for eight months, or 40% or $40,000. The failure to file penalty is limited, however, to a maximum of 25% of the outstanding tax, so the total penalty would be capped at $25,000 (subject to additional limitation when the penalty is coupled with the failure to pay penalty, as described below).
Alternatively, you may allow April 15th to slip by, but provided you rally and get the return filed by May 30th, you may think, "I'm only six weeks late, how bad can it be?"
Six weeks is two months in the tax penalty world, meaning you're on the hook for 10% of the $100,000 tax liability in the form of a late filing penalty, or $10,000. So that's how bad it can be.
Failure to Pay
April 15th is more than the filing deadline; it is also the date by which your tax liability must be paid. Fail to pay your balance due by that date, and you will become subject to a second penalty. Section 6651(a)(2) provides that if you fail to pay your net liability due by April 15th, a penalty of 0.5% will be added to the tax due for each month or fraction of a month the tax is outstanding, with the total penalty once again capped at 25%.
The misunderstood aspect of the "failure to pay" penalty is that unlike the "failure to file" penalty, no respite can be found in the form of an automatic six-month extension. An extension only defers the period of time you have to file the return, not to pay the underlying tax liability.
To illustrate, assume that you receive an extension of time to file your 2013 return until October 15th, 2014. Assume further that you file your return on August 19, 2014, and pay a net tax liability of $100,000 with the return.
Courtesy of your six-month extension, the return was timely filed, and no "failure to file" penalty should apply. The extension did not serve to delay the amount of time you had to pay the $100,000 tax liability, however, and thus your tax payment is late. The $100,000 of net tax was due to the IRS on April 15th, 2014, irrespective of any extension of time to file.

A week in the ER?! - page 2
I floated down to the ER for a couple of nights to sit 1:1 (I'm a CNA) with an early onset Alzheimer's patient and much to my surprise, she had been there for 3 days and the woman next door --waiting for a court ordered... Read More
- 0Aug 17, '12 by mariposa311It is not uncommon for me to work one shift and have a psych hold pt come in the ER and then I come back for another shift two days later and the patient is still there. We do not have psych services and ambulances will take psych patients to the hospital in our city that does and has a psych "pod" in their Emergency Department. But we get a lot of psych walk-ins and we have to deal with them. Most are released, many are released and are supposed to go to detox or another place on their own the next day. The ones that are involuntarily committed go by way of the police to their psych facility. But sometimes there is no place for them to go, or waiting on judge or something like that and they spend several days in the ED. It is not a good situation and I wish that more people were aware that not all hospitals have psych facilities and to go to one that does if that is what you need.
- 0Aug 18, '12 by tigerlogicThanks for all the responses! I'm guessing my hospital has a kind of policy where people needing high security support stay in ER-- similarly comfort care end-of-life pts go to Oncology, regardless if it's from cancer. The available resources match the pt even if the name of the unit doesn't. It certainly doesn't feel like the best use of ER medical resources, but if there is nowhere to transfer to, at least the pts are still safe. Thank you everyone for your perspectives!
- 1Aug 18, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorIt varies state to state....but for the most part the psych admissions stay in the ED as it makes them high on the hierarchy of getting the next bed. If they are admitted to the hospital it drops them off the list of needing an acute psych bed. Many hospitals have closed their psych beds as the reimbursement slowed and decreased, especially for long term and found them to be money pits. Leaving psych patients in limbo.......or as the case may be the Emergency department Limbo.
There are hospitals that have psyche units that will hold patients in the ED not placing them as the hospital is not on their coverage or the allotted medicare/medicaid beds are full.
Sad for they are not getting the care they need in the ED...they are watched, sedated and fed to maintain the status quo and cooperation of the patient....until a bed if found. Not very therapeutic.
- 0Aug 19, '12 by celtchick68In my ER we frequently hold IVC patients for days while trying to find placement. My facility has a 30 bed psych unit but it's always full. Usually when one is discharged and on the way down in the elevator we have one we're taking up in the other elevator. We have tons of frequent fliers who abuse the services and know just what to say to get a bed and 3 square meals for 72 hours. Had a lady last week who came in on EMS with some trivial mess, was treated and released. Middle of the night she had no ride home. She mistakenly thought EMS was a 2-way taxi service and when she found out otherwise she began to c/o chest pain. Readmitted and worked up, nothing wrong with her she goes back out to the waiting room after discharge. She then gets upset when she realizes the ER isn't an all night diner and won't feed her a meal (did give her crackers and a drink) she still has no ride home and now says she wants to kill herself and is admitted yet a 3rd time in less than 5 hours. She gets her box lunch and proceeds to waste the time of everyone for the next shift waiting for psych consult.

Nexstar Broadcasting Group's CEO Discusses Q4 2010 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before we dig deeper into Q4, I want to follow-up on my statement of a moment ago of managing for free cash flow, with a quick review of our phenomenal growth on this metric since our 2003 IPO, taking into consideration the two-year political cycles. For the two-year 2003-2004 period, we generated a total of $30.9 million in free cash flow. In the '05, '06 two-year period, that figure grew rose to $41.8 million. In 2007, '08, our free cash flow totaled $54.3 million. And with the results reported this morning, our combined 2009-2010 free cash flow grew to $79.6 million. That, by the way, is an average of $1.40 per share. That's a 46.6% growth over the last two-year cycle. And looking at it on a compound annual growth basis for this two-year period going back to our IPO, our free cash flow compound annual growth rate is 37%.
This, of course, was accomplished despite the 100-year drought year of 2009 and I'd like to add that we've managed our growth over this period without diluting our equity base, which stands at about 28.4 million shares, which is more or less exactly the same as when we completed our IPO.
Now getting back to our fourth quarter. Nexstar strategy is for building new-to-television local direct billings and the overall advertising recovery drove a fifth consecutive quarter of core television advertising revenue growth. Our gross local and national television ad revenue growth was 2.8%. That follows a 7.2% growth in last year's fourth quarter and was achieved even as we allocated significant inventory to political ad spend.
In total, gross television ad revenue, inclusive of political advertising, was up 31.8% to $85.9 million. That represents 515% growth in political ad spend to approximately $22.6 million as our Nexstar stations continue to garner leading shares of political ad spend in our market space on the strength of our local news content.

Safe Haven Storage sees benefits of LEDs
Posted on August 13, 2013 Category: LED Lighting Articles
One self storage company has made the decision to switch a second location to LED lighting. Safe Haven Self Storage switched to LED lighting at its Mount Kisco, N.Y., facility and immediately saw great results.
Kristian Pariseau, Safe Haven Director of Operations, noticed that the savings that the company saw in their power bills were even more significant than they originally expected.
"The results and cost savings of the initial conversion to...LED lighting at our Mount Kisco facility demonstrated that it was an even better investment than we originally thought and we knew it was only a matter of time before the okay came to convert our second and larger facility." Pariseau said.
And the okay did come, as the company made the choice to switch its Elmsford location to an LED industrial lighting system. The new location is over 80,000 square feet, so the ability to cut down on the energy costs would make a huge impact on the location's bottom line. Because Safe Haven was able to obtain a rebate for over $30,000 through Con Edison's Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program as well as special financing, the company did not have to pay any initial out-of-pocket expenses.
But the energy savings aren't the only benefits that come with switching to industrial LED lighting. Because storage facilities like Safe Haven tend to have high ceilings and lights in hard-to-reach locations, changing out light bulbs can be a difficult and expensive process. With traditional incandescent light bulbs, their short life-span means they have to be changed out every few months. An LED light can last for years, meaning the property owner can cut down on maintenance costs.
According to Extra Space Storage, Safe Haven estimates that it will have a five-year savings of nearly $225,000.

The Soul of Impact: Impact Investing vs. The Housewives of Beverly Hills
by Hotfrog CEO Laurie Lane-Zucker
A few months ago I walked in on a friend while she was watching a television show called "The Housewives of Beverly Hills." When she saw me she turned lobster red and sheepishly declared that the show was her "guilty pleasure." Now, most people will have to admit to being guilty of some kind of pleasure. But after watching a few minutes of "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" I was not exactly sure what this particular pleasure was. For me, the experience was excruciating. Botox-d and otherwise surgically "improved" characters cavorting cartoonishly amid glittering displays of conspicuous consumption.
"You have to be a woman to understand," she sympathized, as I ran from the room.
I guess so!
I didn't make my distaste at her guilty pleasure too obvious, however, in case she became defensive and responded in kind about my own well-known guilty pleasure — English Premier League Soccer. Instead, like a typical non-reality-show male, I tucked my feelings inside, saving them for a future article.
This experience came back to me recently when I was reading a piece in The New York Times about the anticipated real estate crunch in the Bay Area due to the Facebook IPO producing over 1000 new millionaires:
When Ken DeLeon, a Silicon Valley real estate agent, recently sold an 8,000-square-foot house to a Facebook employee, he said, the movers showed up at the client's old 1,000-square-foot home and asked, "Did you win the lottery?"
Silicon Valley has been good to Mr. DeLeon, a former lawyer, who said he sold $275 million worth of homes last year, and who is finishing up a memoir about overcoming illness, injury and loss that he calls "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Sexy People?"
The article seemed to have a mixed message. We were supposed to sympathize with poor Mr. DeLeon and his fellow realtors who look to run out of 8000+ sq. ft. houses quicker than they can sing "I am too sexy for my life!" but at the same time rejoice at this undeniable sign the economy was on the rebound.
As a digital media entrepreneur you might think that this story would really get my blood pumping. Hey, I should say to myself, why can't I "win the lottery" too? After all, Mr. Zuckerberg and I share almost the same (very sexy) last name! It is meant to be!!
As an impact entrepreneur, however, I look at what Mark Zuckerberg is about to reap and I see something else entirely.
I see The Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The realization of vast riches followed by extravagant displays of consumption is, unfortunately, as American as Wonder Bread. It is just as nutritious as well — for the planet and its peoples.
In fact, in an x=392+10.5-1 world (i.e. a planet of rapidly depleting resources, skyrocketing population, and rising inequity), this "wonder" of business is toxic.
This past week, Smithsonian magazine published an article reporting on Australian physicist Graham Turner's re-visitation of the "most groundbreaking academic study of the 1970s," The Limits to Growth. Turner's findings affirmed that the study's 40-year-old projections were eerily on course and that "the business-as-usual scenario estimated that if human beings continued to consume more than nature was capable of providing, global economic collapse and precipitous population decline could occur by 2030."
And yet, "business as usual" is exactly what we have. Everywhere around the world, businesses aspire to live the "HuBaH" version of the American Dream. Particularly in "Silicone" Valley. Despite all the rhetoric about new "disruptive" technologies and the so-called reform of the financial sector, the foundation of the global economy — its governing worldview — has changed little. It's all about consumption and growth. Unfortunately, these two beauties of the HuBaH Economy are as artificially "enhanced" as the main characters on HuBaH's namesake, "The Housewives of Beverly Hills."
And it goes much, much deeper than the economy. HuBaH thinking dominates education, politics, law — almost everything we see. HuBaH has affected our brain chemistry. Whether it be our finest MBA programs airbrushing away the inconvenient truth (they call it an "externality") that finite resources cannot grow exponentially, or that growth as we currently define it simply cannot solve our long-term problems, or a judiciary stretching itself into greater and greater contortions to support this system (yes, here read Citizen's United), HuBaH has seduced many of our "best and brightest" into acting like a boatload of Forrest Gumps.
Problem is Forrest Gump is a whole lot wiser.
What does this mean for impact investing and impact companies like mine? A lot.
"Tell us what your five year exit strategy is," a typical institutional investor says to me. "Sale, merger, IPO?"
"How about dividend distribution over a 15 or 20 year time horizon, with heavy reinvestment of profits into building not only the company but the impact (certified triple bottom line) economy as a whole?" I respond.
Blank stares. Which I interpret to mean, "But momma always said, 'Life is a box of chocolates.'"
The HuBaH mindset isn't limited to institutional tech investors. Unfortunately, nearly all investors suffer from its siren call. Even some self-proclaimed "impact investors" are still only HuBaH investors toting ESG ("eee so good!") signs.
What we in the impact space (entrepreneurs, companies, investors) are trying to do is very difficult. We are attempting to establish a brand new system without that new system being thoroughly compromised by the dominant mindset, rules and powers-that-be of the old system.
At every step of the way, impact entrepreneurs bump their heads against HuBaH. Those "friends and family" investments that are supposed to help get you jump-started? It just so happens that a sizable number of this demographic happen to be HuBaH friends and family, some of whom, because they love you, may prefer to "starve you out of your delusion" (an actual quote from an actual family member).
What about those foundations that should be there with mission and program related investments to help get your innovative-company-in-a-paradigm-shifting-space over the early stage hump? Well, it turns out that all but 4% of foundations are HuBaH foundations (meaning that, according to the Foundation Center, 96 out of every 100 foundations are not doing mission investing and instead are investing their endowments in HuBaH). And those investment funds that call themselves "socially responsible?" Well, many of them are still playing by HuBaH's two Golden Rules: Growth and Consumption.
What the HuBaH world doesn't see — doesn't want to see — is that nothing is more harmful than HuBaH's "business-as-usual." HuBaH only sees the Instagram Moment. Not what comes afterward.
Not what lies behind.
HuBaH doesn't understand that in an x=392+10.5-1 world nothing is more truly "disruptive," transformative, and beautiful than a certified B Corporation.
And so the voyage from Zuckerberg to Lane-Zucker (hey, I like the ring of that!) is an arduous one. Just look at the difference in our bank accounts….
The 1000 Facebook millionaires with their 8000+ sq. ft. houses are the latest glossy cover stories of "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" Economy. They represent the soul of the HuBaH. Or should I say soullessness.
We need to be vigilant to make sure that their story doesn't infiltrate into the soul of impact too.
**And just so my friend with her HuBaH guilty pleasure doesn't read this article and ask me why I didn't insert gender balance into my use of metaphor and acronym, I will add that the HuBaH Economy is just as juiced as Major League Baseball during the McGwire and Bonds steroid era (BBBBGTM "Baseball's Been Barry Barry Good to Me"), and as blatantly unsustainable and gaudy as Manchester City's Men's Football Club's BigBS ("Billionaire Buys Success") business model.
By the way: Arsenal 1-0 Man City.

NE Fishermen Shut Out Of House Disaster Aid Bill
Nick Brancaleone of the Northeast Seafood Coalition, a Gloucester-based industry group, said the coalition is "extremely disappointed" by the House bill. He said the aid is critically needed and justified by the disaster declaration.
"Fishermen have and will continue to face insurmountable challenges with reduced landings and low revenues," he said.
In its $60 billion Sandy relief bill, the Senate included $150 million for fishermen. But the House didn't take up the bill before the last Congress ended this month, and the legislation expired.
The Senate will again consider a Sandy relief bill, and a spokesman for Sen. John Kerry said he's hopeful the Senate will restore the money for fishermen."There's no reason why Sandy relief and fisheries assistance can't both be included in this package," said spokesman Alec Gerlach. Still, the differences between the House and Senate versions must be worked out in a final bill. And with the House already rejecting aid for New England's industry, prospects for any money remain uncertain.

Duckhorn is one of Napa Valley's top Merlot producers, and this bottling represents estate fruit in combination with additional fruit from several vineyards representing the finest of Napa's varied microclimates and soil types. The 2011 incorporates 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc into the blend and the wine was aged in large French oak barrels (25% new) for 15 months before bottling. From the winemaker: "The cooler 2011 vintage yielded an aromatic Merlot with vibrant red fruit layers of Rainier cherry and spiced plum, as well as notes of licorice, tobacco leaf, cardamom and thyme. Hints of cedar, leather and savory spice from aging in French oak barrels contribute depth and nuance, while a streak of uplifting acidity adds dimension to this wines smooth velvety texture. Dusty tannins frame a sophisticated finish."
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

7 ways to be a superhero at the Jewish Museum of Maryland
'Zap, Pow, Bam!' traces Jewish comic book history
BALTIMORE - "It's fun. It's Zap, Pow, Bam!" said Marvin Pinkert. The Jewish Museum of Maryland Executive Director said the superheroes of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s are everywhere at the Herbert Bearman Campus.
"This is all about the creation of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America and the list goes on and on. All of which were created by young Jewish artists."
These crime fighters combated more than the Penguin, Lex Luther and Red Skull; they also protected the world from some real-life villains.
"They could defeat Hitler. They could save poor people. They could stop criminal gangs," said Marvin.
"Sixteen pages of a comic book could save the world. That's what makes them so irresistible," he added.
So who's the best super hero to go up, up, and oy vey?
"Superman is very special. He is one of the first aliens to be the good guy," explained Marvin.
The Golden Age of Comic Books exhibit runs through August.

BUENA PARK – Teresa Preciado, a 32-year-old mother of four, knows what it is like to face adversity.
In the early 2000s Preciado moved back to her parents' home after learning her mother had cancer. She was left with the responsibility of taking care of her family's Santa Ana home after her mother died.
"I took care of the home as much as I could," she said. "I later on found out that there was a lot of money owed, and I couldn't pay."
The home was lost to foreclosure in October 2009.
Preciado has struggled through an abusive marriage, depression, lack of a steady income and the loss of a permanent home for her four children, Noel, 11; Jacob, 6; Destiny, 2; and Jeremiah, 5 months.
"Everybody kind of gave us the door," she said.
That has left her two oldest children feeling abandoned.
"They're hurt because they feel like everyone that we wanted to be there for us isn't there," she said.
Preciado decided to put aside her fears and sought help at one of Orange County's armories earlier this month. Mercy House, based in Santa Ana, manages the cold weather shelters at the armories.
"I knew about them, but I didn't want to go to them because I wanted to do it on my own. I've known that they have done great work, but I was too scared," Preciado said. "And I was just happy because that day ... they were able to get me into the program and they placed me right away into a motel."
Mercy House is one of eight charities selected to receive funds from The Orange County Register's Season of Caring campaign. The charities were identified through The Possible Dream, a program of the Festival of Children Foundation that connects donors to charities providing tangible, critical services to children.
The designated children's charities will receive 100 percent of the funds raised during the campaign.
Mercy House's Possible Dream is to redirect homeless pregnant women or families with children from the Cold Weather Armories effort in Santa Ana and Fullerton to motels via its Family Redirection Program, with the goal of moving these families to permanent housing as quickly as possible.
Her decision proved to be the best one for her and her children.
"Oh man, I just thought it was the best thing ...my spirits left the ground," she said about being placed in a motel in Buena Park, while still considering Santa Ana her home. "They've (Mercy House) been very helpful, they've been a blessing to me and my children. I came to the right people."
Her oldest child, Noel, agrees.
"My mom wasn't even going to do it, but I'm happy she did."

PolyD vs gluc/xanthan
Hey everyone-
I've never used PolyD before. From what I understand, it's a thickener with a bit of sweetness. In regards to the thickening properties, how would you say it compares to gluc and xanthan gum (I'm not talking about making noodles or anything, just thickening).
I THINK it also keeps baked goods moist, and so does gluc. How would you say those two compare in that regard?
Thanks a bunch
I never however thickened anything with the polyD
I use poly-D in very small amounts for baking mostly. I don't think you can compare because they do different things . Jusr my 2 cents.
PolyD is not a thickener, but what it does do is give LC baked goods some of the qualities that sugar would normally provide.
However, it is MURDER on my guts - in even the smallest amounts. It renders me totally unfit for human companionship; heck even my two cats will vacate the premises!
SO before you try a big bunch of it - try a small amount in something first and see what it does, or does not do, to your intestines. Don't plan on going anywhere for a couple hours after you ingest it, just in case!
I bought a big bunch of it because of some recipes on here - then found out for me it's a no-work-for-me ingredient. Which is too bad because the cake I made with it (Aunt Ruth's Pecan Cake) was excellent and had such good caramelization.
If you're looking for a thickener, go with glucomannan or one of the gums.
Thanks gals! I think I'll skip putting it on my Netrition order then. I'm happy with the moistness in baked stuff from gluc and the sweetening team of stevia/erythritol.....you gals are great!

The following are among the most active stocks in the South African market today. Stock symbols follow company names.
Anglo American Plc (AGL) , the diversified miner that makes up about 9 percent of the index, dropped 1.1 percent to 313 rand. Industrial metals including copper, nickel and zinc declined after Standard & Poor's said it may lower credit ratings for 15 euro-region nations.
BHP Billiton Ltd. (BIL) , the world's biggest miner, declined 1.2 percent to 249.50 rand.
Anglo American Platinum Corp. Ltd. (AMS) , the biggest producer of the metal, dropped for the first time in three days, declining 1.1 percent to 549 rand.

Schedule changes at RCSD
Rochester, N.Y. -- Changes are on the way to the Rochester City School District.
In a letter sent to staff Monday, Superintendent Bolgen Vargas announced that this years schedule will include what he calls expanded learning time at 20 schools.
The centerpiece of Vargas plan is to end early dismissal on Wednesdays. For many years, Rochester has been the only district in the area to dismiss students early on Wednesdays. Sending children home 45 minutes early, this one day a week, robs them of more than 29 hours of instructional time and support over the course of a year. That is the equivalent of missing a full week of school, Vargas said in a statement.
This years schedule ends that practice. I believe the need to increase instructional time for our students is too critical to wait any longer. We simply must remove our District from the embarrassing in my view, unconscionable position of offering students the least instructional time of any group of children in Monroe County, when arguably they need and deserve the most.
Schools 3, 8, 9, 10, 17, 22, 23, 34, 41, 44, 45, 46, Charlotte High School, Leadership Academy for Young Men, Monroe High School, Northeast College Prep, Northwest College Prep, Wilson Commencement Academy, School of the Arts, and All City High will be affected.
Teacher Concerns
Maureen Doohan said she embraces the idea of spending time with students, but finds problems with the newly adjusted schedule.
The reason why its a concern is not because teachers dont want the maximum amount of time with students, explained Doohan. But the teachers had planned for a different time schedule with the students.
The 6th grade teacher at the Nathanial Rochester School said her school had been on a 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. schedule, the new one calls for 8:45 a.m. to 9 a.m.
School 3, 9, 17, 23 and 46 are scheduled to dismiss at 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. under the new schedule. Click here to see scheuldes for all RCSD schools.
Why couldnt they start at 8 a.m. and get out at 4 p.m.? asked parent Gwen Session.
13WHAM News requested an interview with a school administrator regarding the schedule changes, but the request was denied.
Were not in a position where we can be talking about less time, said School Board President Malik Evans.
Evans said city school district students need to have the same amount of instructional time as their suburban counterparts, which is not the case. He said that it is possible the schedule is tweaked, but feels extended learning is vital.
