Rockford Orthopedic Associates continues support of food bank
• More than $250,000 donated to support childhood hunger programs in Winnebago County over past 10 years
Online Staff Report
Rockford Orthopedic Associates recently reached a new milestone in its support of Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB), surpassing the $250,000 threshold in combined giving over the past decade.
The most recent donation of $29,325 brings the total amount donated by Rockford Orthopedic Associates over the past 10 years to $257,465, all of which has been directed to support the food bank's efforts at solving childhood hunger in Winnebago County.
"We are incredibly grateful for the longstanding support from Rockford Orthopedic Associates and its employees," said Pete Schaefer, president and CEO of NIFB. "This generous donation continues to help support child nutrition programs in the greater Rockford area, including after-school programs and our BackPack Program, which provide nourishment to children who otherwise may go hungry."
One in four children in Winnebago County will face hunger sometime this year. NIFB supports 18 after-school programs in Winnebago County by providing suppers or snacks to more than 1,100 students in need. Additionally, the food bank's BackPack Program — in which school children receive a backpack of food to last the weekend for themselves and up to two additional family members — partners with 23 schools in the county and provides about 700 backpacks full of food to children each month.
"We feel supporting these vital nutrition programs is one of the most effective ways to help build a stronger future for our community," said Don Schreiner, CEO of Rockford Orthopedic. "Providing meals not only enables the children to do better in school, but it contributes toward better health and quality of life as these young lives are being molded to become future leaders and community members."
NIFB partners with more than 50 food pantries and other feeding programs in Winnebago County to provide food to those in need. To learn more about NIFB, log on to www.SolveHungerToday.org. If you need food assistance, visit http://www.SolveHungerToday.org/GetHelp or call (815) 639-1257.

Option Brief: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MRVL) saw overall option volume accelerate to more than two times the typical pace on Thursday, and calls once again emerged as the contracts of choice. By the numbers, 9,293 calls changed hands on the day, compared to 6,212 puts. Although short-term options were in demand -- as evidenced by the equity's rising 30-day at-the-money implied volatility (IV) -- a longer-term call saw the loftiest rise in open interest overnight.
Specifically, the stock's November 15 call had 1,696 contracts on the tape at the close -- nearly all of which had switched hands on the ask side, pointing to buyer-driven activity. Meanwhile, IV edged higher, and open interest added 1,630 positions overnight, making it safe to assume that a fresh batch of bullish bets was initiated.
The in-the-money calls were purchased for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $1.30, making at-expiration breakeven $16.30 (strike plus VWAP). Gains are theoretically unlimited with each notch above this mark MRVL is sitting at the close on Friday, Nov. 21, which is when the options expire. Should the stock close south of the strike price at expiration, the most the speculators stand to lose is the initial premium paid.
On the charts, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MRVL) has been a long-term outperformer, with the shares up roughly 43% year-over-year. More recently, however, the equity has encountered a stiff layer of resistance near $16, and has only enjoyed one weekly win north of this mark in 2014. In today's session, the stock is following in the bullish footsteps of the broader equities market, up 0.7% at last check to trade at $15.32.

The drop-leaf table featured on this episode of Rough Cut has a lot of bang for the buck. Not only is the Shaker-type style beautiful to look at, but the finger joints are fun to learn how to make.
To get inspiration for this project, Tommy takes a Road Trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to see drop-leaf and gate-leg tables from centuries past. Back in the shop, Tommy is joined by Chuck Bender of The Acanthus Workshop in Pennsylvania.

O'Toole Ties for Ninth at Memphis Intercollegiate
April 1, 2014 University of Cincinnati junior John Michael O'Toole (Pinson, Ala./Central Alabama CC) carded a 3-over par 75 on Tuesday to post his best career finish as a Bearcat, tying for ninth place at 5-over 73-73-75=221 in the final round of the Memphis Intercollegiate at Colonial Country Club (par 72, 7,334 yards) in Memphis, Tenn. As a team the Bearcats ended the 15-team tournament in fifth place at 290-299-307=896. It marks UC's second Top 5 finish of the spring and the seventh in nine tournaments since the start of the fall season. Tournament host Memphis, ranked 40th in the nation according to GolfStat, won the team title at 10-over 289-287-298=874. O'Toole started the day 3-over after the first three holes before settling down to posting par scores on the next eight holes. He was 2-under on the back nine with birdies on Nos. 12, 16 and 17 before a double bogey on No. 18 resulted in his 3-over 75 round. It marks O'Toole's third Top 30 finish in four spring tournaments this season. Louisiana Lafayette's Haraldur Magnus took medalist honors in the 84-player field with a 1-under 75-70-70=215. UC junior Baxter Reeves (Montgomery, Ala./Central Alabama CC) earned his best finish of the spring season, tying for 24th place at 9-over 73-75-77=225. Junior Jared Howard tied for 29th place, two strokes behind Reeves, at 11-over 72-76-79=227. Freshman Jared O'Kelley (Canton, Ga./Creekview High School) tied for 32nd place at 12-over 72-78-78=228. Sophomore Emerson Newsome (Dacula, Ga./Mill Creek High School) tied for 44th place at 80-75-77=232. "Today was a tough day," UC head caoch Doug Martin said. "Colonial is a very tough golf course and it reared it's ugly teeth. We didn't play well today from the middle of the round on. Holes 10-15 played very hard. Overall though, any time you finish in the top 5 you can't be too disappointed." Cincinnati returns to action April 7-8 at the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship at the Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss.

Where do Ideas come from? This film animates the story behind the concept - where an artist gets the inspiration to create an image. Read more
Where do Ideas come from? This film animates the story behind the concept - where an artist gets the inspiration to create an image.
About this project
'Creative Process' is an animated short about the conception of a concept.
How a lifetime of experiences can be collected, interpreted, and expressed into a single 2-Dimensional work of Art.
This film illustrates how to deconstruct that image - and witness the process of it's creation by taking the viewer through the life of a mannequin whose world is ultimately frozen into the perfect composition.
The idea for this film has been swimming around in my head for 10 months, ever since the release of my first short film - Black Light Stop Motion Short - which can be viewed here :
Over the last two months I've been devoting all of my efforts towards developing the story-line, testing new animation techniques, and getting in contact with the right people to realize the full potential of this film.
My hardwork has paid off!
The Ultra-Violet industry leader WildFire Inc. has been extremely generous and agreed to sponsor 'Creative Process' by providing me with their top-of-the-line products - including invisible UV pigment to create the stunning Dual Image effect at the end of the film, as well as a dimmable black light to best showcase that image.
Without their support this film would not be possible.
View their website/products here: http://wildfirefx.com/
And view the effects of UV Dual Images here: http://www.wildfirefx.com/services/scenic/dual.aspx
In addition, I've been in contact with sound designer Chris Child - known better as the artist Kodomo.
The music he produces is exactly what I had in mind for the soundtrack for this film, and I'm thrilled to have him interested in the project.
In addition, he is open to the idea of me creating a music video for one of his tracks as part of his compensation - which would be an honor.
I really dig his approach to making sound, and am very excited about the possibility of our talents becoming intertwined.
Check out Kodomo's site here: http://kodomomusic.com/

About the Film
Comprised of approximately 9,000 photographs - the film begins with an artist alone in his studio trying to create a poster, but failing to come up with a worth-while idea.
A time-lapse captures the minutes and hours whizzing by on the clock as the pile of crinkled up ideas builds on the floor.
Eventually the artist decides to go to bed and leaves the room.
Footsteps are heard, and a bottle of phosphorescent paint gets knocked over on the drafting table. Small glowing footprints lead away from the puddle until finally reaching a light switch. The switch is turned on, the mannequin is revealed(born), and we then follow him on his condensed/miniature experience of Life.
Self Realization, Socialization, Graduation, and eventually struggling to find an Occupation amongst a sea full of stick figures created from pipe-cleaners.
During this journey the effects transition from a 3-D stop motion to a hand drawn 2-D animated world before coming back again to 3-D once the main character returns to the 'real world' - where everything has changed drastically since he was a little 4.5" mannequin.
Our main character becomes a visual artist, and creates B&W artwork underneath a bonsai tree. Occasionally a pipe cleaner stick figure stops to sit for a portrait...
The world is monochromatic, until one day the mannequin notices a Red apple hanging from one of the tree branches. He collects it and takes a bite - his veins begin pulsating with a peculiar blue glow. He returns to work, and his once B&W work becomes saturated with colors. He is fascinated and gets lost creating before finally realizing a crowd has now gathered and is watching him work.
He hands one stick figure a pair of miniature 3D glasses. As soon as it puts them on he transforms into a colorful figure. The effect spreads.
After sometime, the mannequin decides to take a nap under the now brilliantly colorful tree. The viewer then experiences a dream within a dream, where to world turns from slightly surreal to entirely abstract.
The mannequin wakes up inspired, and begins work on a LARGE Dual-Image mural which brings to light issues - good and bad - he observes with this world he exists in.
Under normal light, we view the impressive structures mankind has created on the left of the composition - glorifying our achievements. On the right, mountains off in the distance with a park in the foreground. A nicely trimmed tree stands tall in the middle of the composition. A blue sky hangs over this ideally perfect world us humans have created for ourselves.
Under Ultra-Violet lighting we witness the glory of mother nature. The buildings are now dark and pushed to the background. The tree has branched out and is full of ripe fruit. The park is crawling with vividly colorful animals under a sky filled with the brilliant hues of an orange sunset.
Upon completion of his mural - the mannequin returns once more to the light switch, and fades in/out the normal/UV lighting to reveal a smooth transition of the Dual Image Mural.
The artist wakes up inspired, and begins vigorously creating a poster.
The imagery which had been created in his dream, and inspired by a dream within his dream.
Why fund 'Creative Process'?
I have three goals with this film:
-To push the boundaries of animation techniques
-To properly exhibit the visual phenomenon of Thermochromic/UV dual imagery
-To inspire
A little over a year ago I watched an animation by Anthony F. Schepperd.
"An animated mind melt into a post human New York where TV and animals rule. All cast to the sincerely melodic soul of Blockhead's 'The Music Scene'."
The 5 minutes and 22 seconds of film was more influential to me as a visual artist than 4 years of art school. The emotion I got from experiencing it is the true definition of being Inspired.
But I have since exhausted the effect the animated short has on me as I've watched it countless times, as I'm sure others have too - so what I aim to do with 'Creative Process' is to create another film of a similar caliber to install that same feeling I initially received into others.
Essentially, your support is the factor which is allowing this Artistic film to remain just that; an Artistic film.
Thanks to KickStarter - I potentially have the opportunity to realize this vision without compromising its content/integrity by trying to 'sell' it to a company.
And without the commercial aspect, the film truly has the ability to Affect.
So what exactly do your generous donations go towards?
Soundtrack - Chris Child is an already successful musician/sound designer and cannot sell his talent for free. He is willing to work with me due to his respect for Independent/Artistic films - but I must still compensate him for his time. A majority of the funds raised here will go towards making the collaboration between us possible.
Bonsai - A major prop within the film will be the miniature tree which the mannequin resides/creates under. This bonsai tree must be the perfect fit for the part as to be as powerful as the Tree of Life in 'The Fountain'.
Materials/Supplies - Mannequins, Thermochromic pigment, 5 ft Canvas, Miniature easel, Miniature fountain/pond in my drafting table, etc.
Preparation has already begun - including story-boarding, testing ThermoChromic animation techniques, and preliminary sketches of the mural/painting.
Filming will begin in mid-late September.
Completion of the film is expected in late November, with a release date sometime in December.
Creative Animation Techniques
I will be pushing the limitations of my animation abilities in 'Creative Process' with both 3D stop motion and 2D hand drawn animation - as well as camera work.
There are however two techniques which I would like to describe as I feel they are Unique and will help take this film to the next level.
FlyEye -
Using a GoPro HD camera, I will be utilizing the size/wide-angle lens to grant the viewer the perspective of a fly. The viewer is transformed into a fly as it buzzes around the room towards objects/lights it is naturally attracted to - before eventually landing on my desk. I then try to kill the fly but it dodges my first attempt. The second hit is a success, providing the perfect transition to the title screen before cutting to a regular 35mm perspective.
Thermochromic Animation -
Thermochromic pigment is a black powder which can be mixed with a clear base coat to create a dark grey paint which turns transparent when heat is applied. This application has been used commercially on products such as coffee mugs - but I aim to be the first to use the medium as an animation technique by using hot/cold utensils to create slight adjustments in the image frame by frame, and am currently designing processes to do it as best as is possible. In addition, the medium can be combined with the use of regular black/white acrylic paint to create stunning monochromatic dual images such as day turning into night.
I've not seen this phenomenon yet fully explored artistically and hope to do so in 'Creative Process'
One Last Note
I have already sacrificed countless hours of my time conceptualizing/planning for the creation of this film, and I expect to be spending several hundred more once the filming process begins.
I do not mind working on this project without any financial gain - it is a Dream which is becoming True.
But Please, join me in the production of this short film, and help me raise the funds to realize this creation which I have put so much time and effort into.
The entire inventory of Artwork/Custom painted apparel I've spent the past year making is available for you in exchange for helping me make this film possible.
My most sincere Thanks for your time in reading this entry,
-Brad Lawrence

Scroll down to read the NY Times article. ------------------------------------------------------- New York Times takes a closer look at Prime Prep Posted by Mike Florio on August 10, 2014 Getty Images From time to time, the charter school co-founded by Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders makes news. Rarely good news. From an alleged assault committed by Sanders to Sanders being fired to Sanders being rehired to Sanders being fired and rehired again to the charter school losing its charter, the signs of dysfunction have become obvious. But the force of Sanders' celebrity and personality have managed to keep hope alive — and maybe even to keep him and others out of jail. That could change based on the examination of Prime Prep conducted by Michael Powell of the New York Times. It paints the picture of a guy who opted to parlay his brand into a vehicle for enhancing that brand via the accumulation of great young athletes. And maybe to make a little money along the way. For example, Powell reports that the original proposal for the charter school explained that Sanders' company, PrimeTimePlayer, "shall introduce" the school to "its vast corporate circle of influence," which was "not limited to C.E.O.s, C.F.O.s." Of course, PrimeTimePlayer would keep 10 percent of the money raised as a fee, along with a monthly retainer ranging from $1,000 to $7,500. The charter was awarded, because Prime Time . . . Prime Time . . . Prime Time. "Sanders made himself available, and I was quite embarrassed by this, to pose for pictures and sign autographs for my colleagues on the board," former Texas Board of Education member Michael Soto said regarding the charter approval process. "The financial planning was suspect; the curriculum design was nonexistent — it was laughable." But the joke remains on anyone who thinks Prime Prep is dead. Powell explains that school officials have exhibited a "striking confidence" that the school will regain its charter via the appeal process. Sanders himself expressed optimism, via a bizarre interview he conducted with Powell. After failing to get Sanders through more traditional vehicles of communication, Powell attended a football practice and approached Sanders when it ended. Sanders insisted on having a witness, calling over friend and Prime Prep employee, Reginald Calhoun. Sanders also produced a recording device. "I asked about Prime Prep's appeal," Powell writes. "[Deion] turned to Calhoun and lectured him on what an uninformed question this was, as if Calhoun had asked it. I tried another question, and Sanders again lectured Calhoun on his stupidity. Then Sanders told me he was having a private conversation. "He turned and gave me a piercing stare, his megawatt [smile] gone cobalt. He walked off with a touch of swagger." That swagger has taken Sanders far. At some point, it may no longer work. He hasn't reached that point yet, and possibly never will. A Star-Powered School Sputters Prime Prep Academy, Founded by Deion Sanders, Comes Under Scrutiny AUG. 9, 2014 Deion Sanders at a practice for Truth, a youth sports program he founded, at Prime Prep in Dallas. Credit Cooper Neill for The New York Times/Sports of The Times By MICHAEL POWELL DALLAS — A few years back, Deion Sanders, the Hall of Fame cornerback and N.F.L. commentator who still digs being called by the nickname Prime Time, was approached with a splendid business proposition. A partner suggested creating a Texas charter school. They would name it after Sanders: Prime Prep Academy. They would collect and mentor the finest male athletes in Texas and elsewhere and become a powerhouse. God only knows what business opportunities might come along, particularly if they could tap Sanders's deep-pocketed backers, like the sports clothing manufacturer Under Armour, for which Sanders works as a brand ambassador. All went swimmingly. The Texas Board of Education fell over itself to accommodate Sanders. The coach of a small Christian school defected to Prime Prep and brought along his collection of nationally ranked basketball players, including Emmanuel Mudiay, a preternaturally talented, 6-foot-5-inch, 190-pound point guard. Just like that, Prime Prep went world class. It had a top-ranked basketball team, its games broadcast on ESPN. As for Prime Prep's academics? Not so world class. A respected Texas nonprofit group has ranked Texas public schools. Prime Prep's lower grades received an F. I could not find the grade for Prime Prep's high school, so I called the nonprofit group. "Unfortunately," a spokeswoman said, "we were unable to rank it due to missing data." We're accustomed to living in the shadow of the rotten tree that is major college sports. It's almost refreshing that so many college administrators and coaches have dropped the pretense that recruits are more than underpaid young men and women in shorts, jerseys or shoulder pads. Now that rot has spread, its roots extending deep into high schools and even middle schools. There is the Nevada prep school created to field a basketball team and the players who switch high schools two or three times in four years. Last week, the top high school player in Michigan announced that he was transferring to a prep academy in the Napa Valley in California — although that school does not yet exist. Prime Prep offers baroque twists on this American sports tale. It features celebrity culture run amok and shoddy oversight of a charter school. Under Armour provides all of the school's uniforms and practice equipment. There is the strange curlicue that is the high school career of Mudiay. Academics at Prime Prep are enough of a shambles that he might have been blocked from playing major college hoops. So he exited east, heading for the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, where he will make $1.5 million before jumping to the N.B.A. in a year. The N.C.A.A. eligibility center's staff members insisted they had examined Prime Prep's academics in "granular detail." They found some cause for concern but appear to have missed several boulders of evidence. Poor and working-class parents talked of academics but cherished most dearly Sanders's promise that their sons would play and play, and with luck obtain scholarships and pro contracts. Okey Apkom, a dissident member of Prime Prep's board, told me it was common knowledge that athletes received the grades they needed to keep their eligibility. A bench near Prime Prep's football field. Sanders's celebrity and connections aided the founding of the school. Credit Cooper Neill for The New York Times "The parents wanted a 2.5 G.P.A. so the kids could play," he said. "And it happened." There are deeper pools of darkness. Former Prime Prep staff members make credible accusations of violence and intimidation by Sanders and his hangers-on. In his reality show — "Deion's Family Playbook," on Oprah Winfrey's television network — Sanders told his son that he was so angry that late report cards were threatening to make his athletes miss games that he had "locked up" with a Prime Prep administrator, although "I ain't hit him." He was technically correct. Witnesses said Sanders grabbed tight in his fists the collar of a school official, who fell to the floor. In another instance, Sanders was heard on a recording — obtained by The Dallas Observer — threatening his business partner, D. L. Wallace, because he had blocked Sanders from hiring coaches and from allowing him to recruit as he pleased. "I feel like throwing this chair and breaking your damn neck," Sanders told him. Kimberly Carlisle, Prime Prep's former executive director, twice tried to fire Sanders, who served as football coach, only to watch the board rehire him. The second time, she asked a 6-5, 300-pound friend to accompany her. Did you, I asked, feel scared? She paused a couple of beats and replied, "I would say there was not a culture of safety at that school." Prime Prep's fire could be extinguished. The Texas Education Agency announced last month that it would revoke the school's charter after Prime Prep could not prove that it had used money for a school lunch program to serve meals to students. A local district attorney is investigating that one. School officials have appealed the revocation. Sanders, who spoke to me in a brief interview, and those officials exhibit a striking confidence that their school will experience a resurrection. The state education commissioner is a friend of Prime Prep's new superintendent, who in turn is a planet in Sanders's orbit. Despite the threat of imminent closing, enrollment at Prime Prep is up. As for the basketball team, Andre Johnson, a Sanders loyalist, assured me: "We'll be top 10 in the nation again. No problem." Kimberly Carlisle, a former Prime Prep executive director, said she had twice tried to fire Deion Sanders. Credit Cooper Neill for The New York Times In Texas, betting against Prime Time and Prime Prep is a precarious dice roll. "The high school was chaos," Carlisle said. "Academics didn't even play second fiddle. It was all about getting those athletes scholarships and contracts. You didn't mess with Deion World." Prime Prep was conceived in celebrity, its charter proposal offering a near satirical turn on edu-speak. The proposal mentioned "our training methods" and a "Leadership Studies Curriculum" without explaining the nature of that special sauce. Students, the proposal noted, would "model traits" such as "responsibility" and "courage." Students would "become self-actualized." Yes, well. After wading through 50 pages of that, I dialed up Michael Soto. A Harvard-educated Ph.D., he teaches American literature at Trinity University in San Antonio and sat on the Texas Board of Education when it approved the Prime Prep charter. You could practically hear him grimace. Sanders, he recalled, spoke as board members tossed adoring questions. "Sanders made himself available, and I was quite embarrassed by this, to pose for pictures and sign autographs for my colleagues on the board," he said. "The financial planning was suspect; the curriculum design was nonexistent — it was laughable." The proposal noted the school would rely on a Sanders company, PrimeTimePlayer, to raise money. Here the proposal's language acquired a legend-in-his-own-mind quality: Sanders's company "shall introduce" the school to "its vast corporate circle of influence," which was "not limited to C.E.O.s, C.F.O.s." PrimeTimePlayer would claim 10 percent of the money raised, as a commission, and collect a monthly retainer of $1,000 to $7,500. A majority of the board voted yes; Soto voted no. "It was Sanders's celebrity status," he said, "that got this proposal approved." A practice for the Truth program at Prime Prep. Credit Cooper Neill for The New York Times For a more pungent assessment of the way Sanders and his partner ended up in proud possession of a charter school, turn to that recording obtained by The Dallas Observer, which together with The Dallas Morning News excavated a lot of the Prime Prep story. Two years ago, Sanders met with Wallace, his partner, who was paid $120,000 as the school's executive director. Sanders got $40,000 as the coach and found that disparity humiliating. He decided to get real. "You don't even really know how we got this school," he told Wallace. "It ain't because all these inflated words and wonderful things we said; it was another way. "Senators, political leaders that you hooked me up with, that you put me down with — that's how we got the school. You're talking about a nigger sitting up there that was an athlete who didn't graduate, another nigger sitting up there saying he's the president, that ain't graduate nothing, and we got a school. Think about that, man. "How in the world do you think we got a school?" Their new school bounced into the public eye when the basketball coach at Grace Preparatory Academy, a Christian school in Arlington, Tex., defected to Prime Prep with his college-ready talent. That was quite a haul, and you imagine Grace Prep officials were not amused. It is most important, Grace Prep's website notes, to "aid in the spiritual growth of our student-athletes." Winning, however, seems not to hurt. Year after year, Grace collected a miraculous cache of athletes. And sometimes its players and supporters have been investigated, and sanctioned once for recruiting violations. From dust to dust and all that. The defections set off a tempest. Texas public school rules prohibit coaches from recruiting players from rival schools. Emmanuel Mudiay, shooting, attended Prime Prep but left for a Chinese league because of concerns over his collegiate academic eligibility.Credit Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Sanders and Wallace journeyed to the state capital, Austin, to plead their case. When it appeared that the players would be forced to sit out, the Prime Prep founders announced that they would pull out of the University Interscholastic League. That did not please the school's teachers. The withdrawal meant the school could not field a debate team, a choir, a band. Whatever. Prime Prep played in basketball tournaments in Florida and West Virginia, and finished the season 37-2, ranked No. 6 in USA Today's Super 25. Mysteries abounded. Carlisle and Apkom, the Prime Prep board member, have no clue how the school paid for the travel, nor what the salaries were for the head coaches and the many assistants. In a recording, Sanders, who is wealthy, said he had taken his Prime Prep salary and paid stipends to the coaches. Slowly but surely, the wheels came off this car. Last fall, after Carlisle was hired as executive director, she walked the high school campus. She saw cafeteria workers sitting idle while parents came in with pizza and fried chicken and sold it to the students. Sanders's entourage, men in sweats and Under Armour athletic gear, clustered around the gym and wandered into and out of the school without signing in. "They told me they had the right to be there because they were friends of Deion," she said. "It was inmates running the asylum." She walked over to talk to Sanders. He looked at her and said into his cellphone: "Yah, man, I guess she thinks she's going to tell me something. Yah, man." With that, she recalled, he turned his back on her. "We need you to leave," she said. He turned to her, still on his phone. "I'm not going to leave. Who do you think you are? You're going to be fired." Weeks later, after a tense school board meeting, Carlisle walked out to find the back window of her car smashed in. The next week, she was fired. I called T. Christopher Lewis, the board president and an entertainment lawyer. He talked of the school's many struggles and noted he had fired Sanders the first time. Lewis also rehired him. His second thoughts looked odd, he acknowledged, but the school is named after the man, and Sanders had not been charged with a felony assault in the case of grabbing the school official, just a misdemeanor. "Deion is welcome in some capacity," Lewis said, "and we have to really push ourselves to best utilize what he has to offer. He's got a unique insight on what an academic, athletic-based charter school should look like." It is not clear that a school of that description could pass legal muster in Texas. Soto, the former member of the state Board of Education, said, "Football is the second religion of Texas, but it's not legal to make sports talent a condition for getting into a charter school." I had so much to chat about with Sanders. I traveled to his grand home spread in Prosper, Tex., with its Moroccan columns and palm trees and a football field out back with banana-yellow goal posts. I sent him an email and tried his Twitter account. No go. So I went to the Prime Prep high school campus one evening to watch Sanders run his Truth sports teams, which require athletes to maintain at least a B average. More than 100 boys practiced hard for two hours, much of the time in a soaking rain. Deion, trim and muscular in his mid-40s, was ebullient, flashing that megawatt smile and running about the field in his red sneakers and his black baseball cap turned backward. He ran the practice with brio, getting down in ready crouches with little boys. "We appreciate your patience, your kindness," he told parents at the end. "We're a team. We're a family." Deion? I began to introduce myself. He held up his hand. "I want a witness," he said, signaling to Reginald Calhoun, who works in finance at Prime Prep, to come listen. Then Sanders reached under his thigh guard and pulled out a recorder. He told me a reporter had tried to pass himself off as a Truth parent earlier in the day. I assured him I had arrived subterfuge-free. I asked about Prime Prep's appeal. He turned to Calhoun and lectured him on what an uninformed question this was, as if Calhoun had asked it. I tried another question, and Sanders again lectured Calhoun on his stupidity. Then Sanders told me he was having a private conversation. He turned and gave me a piercing stare, his megawatt gone cobalt. He walked off with a touch of swagger. Prime Time was over. Prime Prep, maybe not. Email: email@example.com Zach Schonbrun contributed reporting.
Fail Dion. Education is important. It's amazing to me how many people pay to send there kids to private schools. Many don't even require the teachers to have the proper teaching credentials. I'm not saying all private schools are bad. Some are better. Some are worse. Then sometimes the child just needs a change of scenery. Dion needs to get his head on straight.
At least the kids are being given the grade they deserved. I guess its ok though for a kid to sneak into a Div I school and suddenly start recieving 4.0 GPAs

- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 eggs, well-beaten
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups boiled potatoes
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley,
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Parmesan and Gruyère cheese, grated
This recipe contains: Dairy, Eggs
Potato Frittata
James Beard
Author and Educator
Similar to the Spanish tortilla made with potatoes, this Italian version of an omelette can be made with any vegetable you want. Leftover frittata can be served cold in a baguette sandwich for a second satisfying meal.
Yield: 1 frittata
Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet. When it is just foaming, add well-beaten eggs and potatoes, spreading the potatoes around the pan. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Turn the heat down very low and let the egg set around the potatoes, which will take about 10 to 12 minutes.
Then sprinkle the top quite lavishly with grated Parmesan cheese, or a mixture of grated Parmesan and Gruyère cheese, and run it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to set the top and brown it lightly. Run a spatula around the bottom of the pan, slip the frittata out onto a platter, and serve it with the vegetables.

"Takes top talent and with flexible approach "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at FactSet
Intelligent and talented coworkers, flexible and creative, rewards hard work. From my expirience I would say this is one of the most rewarding and interesting jobs I have ever had. Great place to launch a career as it can open many doors down the road.
Disjointed organization, communication between department needs work.
Issues with the competitive landscape of the industry. While being at a smaller company has many advantages in certain arenas it is difficult to compete with the resources and manpower of some of its top competitors. It is a case where the company needs to carefully pick their battles moving forward to avoid getting stepped on by the two headed giant.
Flatter structure. Our advantage is being the smaller and more flexible player in our field.

"No Career Path; Many Managers are simply "Sales People". "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance

I have been working at FactSet
ProsFree soda (though the selection has slimmed down) and $8 a day at the deli (though the food gets old after a while).
However the free lunch basically means instead of a lunch break you sell yourself for $8. Assuming you make 50k+, $8 a day for 4 days isn't worth it.ConsThe real life at FactSet: Once hired out of college you are a "consultant". However for the first 6 months-a year you are on a help desk taking phone calls (till they decide to move this function to India). The next year you are actually a consultant. However you then have a choice.
If you don't get poached by a client you career path could be "specialist". You then get a small bump in pay, still do help desk/consulting work for a particular product but then have the additional goal of doing sales. They will also stick you with existing accounts. If you are new you are likely to get some account that are about to have canceled. These numbers will count against you raise/bonus time your first year. You will then be told, oh well, we had that too, just sell more to prevent it. However you will need to depend on the sales generalist to sell. If you have a complex product you are then basically doing the sales job as well. Make a sale and the generalist will take credit. Don't make it, and it was your fault.
Your other career path is "Account Executive". Here you are a Jr Sales person working on existing companies rather than new business for a Sales Generalist. Again you will be given accounts in bad shape. Eventually you move to Sales Generalist where you just become another sales person till you have a bad year or two and then slowly pushed out.
The people who get treated decent are the Engineers and Development. The only issue in these roles is that your promotion is a little extra money and a nicer title. Real promotions take a long time and before you realize it you will be middle-aged and replacable by a 20-something year old. After-all for the first few years, you could be more senior, but you will have the same title as them.
The people telling you need to stay 5 years or so to get promoted want you to work cheaply and not move up for the next 5 years. At FactSet the rule is you can apply for a promotion after a year. However each time my particular manager would tell me how my position wasn't short-term and needed to be a long term 5-7 year position. They would tell me how they can't evaluate a potential promotion schedule until I'm in the position for 2 year. After 2 years of course, the promotion is in title, not really anything else.
The 3 weeks vacation is decent, but you end up working lots of additional hours. You really should get comp time for those hours.
There are other companies out there that treat their employees better.Advice to ManagementAdviceMany product groups have managers which is unfortunately made up of sales people with little experience with the product. They get put there because they sold general FactSet. This is the wrong structure.
Our competitors have experienced people in the management of the group. How can a manager who knows little about the product supervise a specialist who knows more than him/her? Worst they managers drive the enhancement/development agenda without knowing what's going on for the first year or two. Hire outside-experienced people to be manager of groups OR promote experienced specialists, not just the top-performing sales person of the year. Selling and Managing have little in common.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO -

I have been working at FactSet
ProsGreat place to start a career and learn about the industry and landscape. The environment is very flat so there isn't any great barrier between yourself and management and even senior management. There are a lot of opportunities as we are still growing to find what you like to do. Just need to be proactive as you create your own path.
ConsPay can be a lot lower at the start but no indication of how much potential there is. No one helps you so much with career progression, there isn't any advice given, but more a chance for you to create opportunities for yourself.
Advice to ManagementAdvicegood job.

Bacon and Egg Cups
Total Time
5 minsCook
20 minsThis is a simple recipe that my husband makes for us a lot for breakfast. Just takes one pan and you have bacon and eggs! This recipe easily adapts to how many you want to make, just use more muffin/cupcake pans! Now if you like to have your bacon crispy, this will not be for you. The bacon gets done but not crispy! The bacon flavors the egg, which is much like a poached or boiled egg. The servings are based on two bacon and egg cups per person. Hope you enjoy!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a muffin/cupcake pan, line the holes with a slice of bacon, pressing the bacon around the sides of the hole, not on the bottom.
- Crack one egg into each hole.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cheese if desired.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the egg is the doneness you like.
- These bacon and egg cups should pop right out of the pan.

Back To Agenda | Print Page | ||
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2006 SUBJECT: CITY HALL SEWER LATERAL REHABILITATION PROJECT 1. Review and reconfirm by a four/fifths (4/5) vote, the Council's previous action on October 17, 2006 to authorize staff to proceed with repairs to the sewer lateral system at the City Hall complex. FISCAL IMPACT Council authorized the expenditure of $50,400 on October 17, 2006 to construct the repairs to the sewer lateral system at the City Hall complex. Council authorized resolution 2006-84 on November 7, 2006 to amend the General Fund - Building Maintenance Program for utility repair purposes, account number 101-3008-431-43-00. BACKGROUND On October 17, 2006, the City Council found that an emergency exists concerning the repair of the City Hall sewer lateral pipes. This emergency situation will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids to repair the existing pipes. DISCUSSION Approval of both the informal bid process and the authorization of the Director of Public Works to negotiation and execute the construction contract with Bob & Marc Plumbing, and the expenditure of up to $50,400 for this work required a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the Council under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1). In addition, Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(1) requires that when a governing body takes action under Section 22050(a)(1), it must review that action and reaffirm it by a four-fifths vote at each subsequent regularly scheduled meeting until the action is terminated. Accordingly, because the repair has not yet been completed, staff has placed this item on tonight's agenda. This item will be placed on each subsequent agenda until the project is completed. CURRENT STATUS The initial phase of work was substantially completed November 6, 2006. The scope of work on the remaining sewer lateral includes cleaning and repairing the line where needed. This work was initially scheduled to begin on November 28, 2006 and rescheduled to December 11, 2006. The remaining work will cause the sewer lateral line that runs down the hill to the County's main trunk line, to be repaired by the pipe bursting method, which will effectively remove all obstructions, and repair all breaks in the line. Respectfully submitted: Jim Bell Reviewed Les Evans |
