I like Jeff Withney. In that Title game when he had like 6 or 7 blocks against an amazing Kentucky team I knew he was for real.
We have all seen the struggles of one Austin Rivers this year, and he is not alone. Top ten picks like Bradley Beal and Terrence Ross have had similar struggles, while highly touted players like Jeremy Lamb and Kendall Marshall haven't even gotten a chance to show what they can do in this league because of the talent in front of them and the holes in their game. Meanwhile, several guys have come into this league and made an instant impact- from Damian Lillard in Portland to Anthony Davis when healthy and Andre Drummond in Detroit.
Coach Williams recently stated that Austin's struggles now will help him two to three years down the line, basically insinuating that he will be somewhat of a liability between now and then. The question must be asked then, if the Hornets are serious about making a playoff push next season, can they afford to take another 2-3 year project next June when guys like Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson are ready to win now?
Isn't it possible that Demps goes into next year's draft looking to get a guy who can help fill a need right away? And if so, how do you know which kind of players make instant impacts and who specifically in this draft fits that mold. Well, I'm glad I asked.
Instant Impact Prototypes
1. Physical Specimen/ Freak Athlete
Tyreke Evans is an example of a player who came into the league with a man's body, so he was not only able to take a beating, but dish one out as well. The majority of guys, like Rivers, come in undersized and need a couple of years in the weight room before they are really able to handle the physical nature of this game. Meanwhile, physical freaks like Andre Drummond also have the ability *to make an instant impact because they can impact the game at the rim. Drummond almost never takes a shot that is not a layup or a dunk, but he makes 6-7 plays a game at the rim on offense and defense and that is enough to qualify as instant impact.
2. Upperclassmen
This is kind of a no brainer, as it is only logical that a 22 year old has a better chance of being able to play a game in a league full of grown men than a guy who is just 19 or 20. Darren Collison came into the league after having played and started for four years at UCLA. He understood concepts on both ends of the court, knew how to lead young men, and was fully aware of his own personal strengths and weaknesses at that point. When he got the opportunity, he took advantage of it and played better in his rookie season than most of the guys drafted ahead of him. In fact, in that draft class that had some fantastic young prospects, three of the top six rookies that year (Collison, Marcus Thornton, and Taj Gibson)*were upperclassmen who were drafted 21, 24, and 45, showing that you can get some instant impact later in the draft as well.
3. Non-stop Motor
The scouting report said that Kenneth Faried was productive in college and had a non-stop motor, but he was undersized and had a limited ceiling. So even though NBA teams saw a guy like Paul Milsap make them regret on passing on him years earlier, Kenneth Faried fell all the way to #22 and the Manimal has been making teams regret not picking him ever since. Teams miss on this because they don't think that having a non-stop motor is a developed skill. They think every player has it in them and all they have to do is bring it out of them, but that is not the case. It takes years to develop a skill that silences your mind when it tells you to stop or to play for yourself instead of team, and some guys have it coming into the league. Most guys don't.
4. Multi-dimensional Scorer
Damian Lillard has sustained his offensive success in his rookie season because he can score in a myriad of ways. Primarily, he is a fantastic jump shooter who hits a ridiculous percentage of his mid-range and deep jump shots, but he is also a guy who can score in the paint and in transition. Most players are one dimensional coming into the league because that one thing that they did in college or high school could not be stopped by the future real estate agents and restaurant managers that they faced at those levels. But when you get to this league, they are going to take away the things you like to do most and if you don't have something else you can go to, it will be a struggle.
Instant Impact Candidates
1. CJ McCollum, G, Lehigh (Upperclassmen and M-D Scorer)
Almost everybody remembers #2 Duke getting upset by Lehigh in the first round of the NCAA tournament and how Lehigh star CJ McCollum thoroughly outplayed Austin Rivers on that night. The Junior looked savvy and in control all night while the 19 year old Freshman Rivers struggled with his shot and his composure. McCollum will have another year under his belt by the time draft night comes around and from what we have seen early on this season, he has really taken his game to another level. His three-point numbers are through the roof (3.1 makes per game shooting 56%) and his mid-range game has improved each of the last two seasons, going from 27% *his sophomore year to 38% last year and 44% this year. His percentages at the rim have also skyrocketed from 36% to 50% last year to 57% this year. He is great off the dribble or in catch and shoot situations, and has put on 32 pounds since coming in as a freshman, so he can handle contact at the rim as well.
2. Alex Poythress, F, Kentucky (Physical Specimen and Non-Stop Motor)
I joked in a prior piece that if you wanted to find Poythress while watching a Kentucky game, just watch for the guy who looks like he should be playing defensive end on Sundays. Poythress just turned 19 three months ago, but he is built like a tank, standing 6 foot 8 and weighing in at a solid 245 pounds. 19-year old Lebron James would look like a string bean standing next to this guy. In fact, the comparison I like better for Poythress is Larry Johnson, who was a man amongst boys during his days at UNLV and took the league by storm when he arrived back in 1991. Poythress is averaging 15 points per game on a young, but talented Kentucky team and is shooting over 67% from the field. He never stops on either end of the court, and when you combine a non-stop motor with a body this powerful, you have a combination that most players would rather avoid than try to stop.
3. Jeff Withey, C, Kansas (Upperclassmen and Non-Stop Motor)
We have all heard that Anthony Davis was so good in the NCAA title game that he won Most Outstanding Player despite going just 1-11 from the field. But do you remember the player who caused his to have such a horrible shooting night? That's right, it was Jeff Withey, who also gave Jared Sullinger nightmares two nights earlier in that fantastic Final Four held in New Orleans. Withey is a defensive monster who not only has good size but also possesses fantastic foot work for a big and a non-stop motor. Watching him last year was impressive, as we saw him lock down All-American after All-American, averaging 3.6 blocks per game while picking up just 2.5 fouls. This season, he is downright ludicrous, as he is blocking 5.7 shots a game and only picks up .9 fouls per contest. That is Anthony Davis territory. Combine that with a respectable offensive game and you got a guy who can come in right away and give opposing post players nightmares.
4. Patric Young, PF/C (Physical Specimen, Upperclassmen, and Non-Stop Motor)
Patric Young is a guy that I personally have had the privilege of playing against two summers ago at UF, and let me tell you that I have never come across a more impressive physical specimen than this big man from Florida. In the offseason, his workouts include strapping a rope around his waist and pulling full size tractors up and down an empty street in Gainesville. He stands 6'9″, 250 pounds and does not have an ounce of fat on his body. Combine that with a non-stop motor and one of the nastiest on-court dispositions you will ever see and I have the feeling that Young will be being praised this time next year for doing all of the little things that help teams win.

I like Jeff Withney. In that Title game when he had like 6 or 7 blocks against an amazing Kentucky team I knew he was for real.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Where's Plumlee? He has #1,#2, and #3. McLemore is a physical specimen and a multidimensional scorer not to mention he's the best athlete in the draft. Trey Burke? Alex Len? Archie Goodwin?
Patric Young isn't a physical specimen considering he's basically a 6'9 center and Poythress Motor has been inconsistent.
As for Len and Goodwin- this is not an article about who will be the best prospects long term, it is about who can make an instant impact. Goodwin doesn't have an NBA position yet and is super raw. Len is my favorite big man prospect long term but he is not going to see much time his rookie year.
As for Patric Young, we can agree to disagree. He is a physical specimen, especially for his age. Milsap, Faried, Reggie Evans, etc. are undersized but they make up for it with brute strength, nasty play, and a motor. I think Young will have a similar impact
I wouldn't mind the Hornets going after Doug McDermott from Creighton. He looks like he could start from day 1 at SF
Like McDermott as well as a backup shooter off the bench, but no way he gets heavy minutes for Monty off the bat with his defense. Grab a defensive minded SF in the summer and pick McDermott up with a late 1st we get in a Lopez or Vasquez trade and have him and Miller battle for minutes and I would be a happy man
I'm pretty sure we are good at the 4 and 5 spots. We have Lopez and Davis (who's coming back this week). We Jason Smith and Ryan Anderson coming off the bench. We are missing a PG that can penetrate and dish/score. Also, we are missing a back-up PG that can control an offense. I wouldn't be mad if we can get another wing either.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
It's so obvious that our weakness is at SG/SF spots... If Gordon is healthy we're kind of set at SG but we'll still need a scorer off the bench (which Rivers was supposed to be)... At SF we're very weak, wouldn't mind getting a veteran there though.

Oxford Webb (22-5) moves into tonight's regional final against
Despite a game-high 28 points from Lamont Robinson,
"We got in a little foul trouble early. Obviously, if I had it to do again, I probably would have slowed it down a little bit when we got that foul trouble,"
Oxford Webb was paced by 23 points from Stefan Cates, but the bigger contribution came from All-American Isaiah Hicks. The forward who has signed with
"I guess he's that good. I guess he can block the ball that many times," McPherson said. "We tried to have a little balance there, seemed like every time we went in there, it was knocked out of there."
"I feel like we got too satisfied with being up 11," Robinson said. "We should have kept attacking and doing what we were doing to get that 11-point lead."
Malcolm Summers came out scorching and scored 13 of the Eagles' first 15 points, hitting three 3s, in the first 4:07 of the game. But he didn't score for the rest of the game.
Robinson's only 3 of the game came 26 seconds before halftime and gave
"I can't even remember, it's been awhile," said Robinson when asked if he could recall the last time he had such an off-night from 3-point range.
Even in the uncharacteristic shooting night for Robinson and the limited offense, the Eagles came within four points twice in the fourth quarter.
The second time, after a free throw by John Lamot cut it to 54-50 with 3:52 left, the next 18 seconds crushed
Lamot committed a foul, allowing Cates to make a pair of free throws. On the next possession, Hicks recorded a blocked shot that led to a fast break, with Cates converting a traditional three-point play. The Eagles never came within less than seven for the rest of the game.
When senior Jalyn Riley started to place blame on himself not being better in what was an outstanding defensive performance against Hicks, his coach was there to correct him.
"Sometimes he got the rebound and that's my fault for not boxing out …," Riley said, interrupted.
"You did fine buddy, I'm proud of you," McPherson told his forward.
It was a moment that was representative of how McPherson approached his entire team's effort.

KJ Brady is The Herald's Baseball Player of the Year
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Senior KJ Brady, an outstanding outfielder and pitcher for Cascade High School, played a key role in helping rejuvenate the Bruins' baseball program, earning him The Herald's 2014 Baseball Player of the Year honors.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Cascade High School senior KJ Brady is heading to the University of Washington in the fall to play baseball and major in communications.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Cascade High School senior KJ Brady is �exactly what you want as a student-athlete,� Bruins baseball coach Scott Stencil says.
The pitcher and outfielder started every game in a strong freshman campaign, but the Bruins won just three games.
Three years later, after starting every baseball game in his four-year varsity career, Brady had played a key role in Cascade's turnaround from a struggling 3-17 team in 2010 to a dominant squad that finished 20-5 this season and made its second-consecutive trip to the 4A state semifinals.
As a pitcher, Brady finished his senior year with an 8-1 record and a 1.54 earned-run average. As an outfielder, he batted .418 with a .500 on base percentage, 30 runs scored, 19 RBI, three home runs, three triples and seven doubles.
Brady's individual stats and determination, as well as his leadership for the Bruins, have made him The Herald's Baseball Player of the Year.
"It's tremendously important to have your most talented players be good teammates and good students. He's just a good kid," said Cascade head coach Scott Stencil. "He does everything the right way. At school. On the (baseball) field. On the football field. He's exactly what you want as a student-athlete.
"He led by example. Watching him play you really knew that he was going to hold himself accountable and his teammates to a high standard."
Stencil credits Brady and the other Bruins' seniors as being catalysts that turned around Cascade's baseball team.
"KJ — and this group of seniors — just came in with this will to win," Stencil said. "Sometimes that determination can go a long way. Obviously, they're a talented group and when you put talent with effort and with all that determination you just end up with a nice product."
Brady, who committed to the University of Washington, said his biggest accomplishment is the rejuvenation of Cascade's baseball team. He really enjoyed the transformation of a Bruins squad he said is the closest team he's ever been a part of.
"It took more than just talent. It took a lot of hard work," Brady said. "We were in the weight room after football season right up until baseball, three to four days a week. That was on us. We had to show up. There was always about 10 or 12 of us in there getting after it. Talent obviously helps, but I think the dedication we put in shows that hard work pays off."
Brady said that staying positive was key for him, Patrick Chung, Taylor Marquardt and Ky Dye — the other Bruin seniors who started all four years.
"Players (like Brady) with that kind of talent that demands so much out of himself, it rubs off on teammates," Stencil said. "It's fun to coach them."
His determination helped make Brady a key member of Cascade's pitching rotation. Brady pitched a bit in his freshman and sophomore seasons, and then really gained some velocity going into his junior year. He threw complete game shutouts against Marysville Pilchuck and Jackson in his first two games, which was all Stencil needed to see.
"He's an outfielder that pitches. He's such a great athlete to have," Stencil said. "Whether (the score is) 1-0, 4-2 or 6-3, he's going to keep you in games and give you a chance to win."
Said Brady: "I was just one of the three starters from then on."
Brady earned first-team all-Wesco 4A South honors as an outfielder the past three seasons. He was also named a first-team pitcher in his sophomore and senior years.
The senior's competitive nature will be missed not just by Stencil, but by other coaches in the area including Kirk Nicholson, the coach of Jackson, Cascade's Wesco 4A South rival.
"He's a great kid. He's one of those guys that he's going to compete really hard during the game but have a smile and laugh on the way out, win, lose or draw," Nicholson said. "He's just a great kid. You always miss guys like that.
"I won't miss having to go against him, though."
Nicholson said an underrated aspect of Brady's game is his athleticism on the mound. The senior is so quick, he can play defense on a bunt almost by himself, sparing the Bruins' infielders from having to charge the ball.
When Brady was at the plate, Nicholson and the Timberwolves tried to prepare for him but found it hard to find a defensive shift that would work on Brady.
"When he's leading off, you've got to pitch to him," Nicholson said. "We talk about possible (defensive) shifts but he'll spray it around the field. It's tough to gameplan against a guy that uses the whole field when he hits."
Brady's next challenge will come at UW, where he will play outfield for the Huskies. The senior says he'll miss pitching because he likes "having the ball in your hand and having it be on you." But outfield is his first love and he's going to play that position for the school he's always loved.
"It's been my dream school since I was little," Brady said. "Growing up being a Husky, going to football, baseball and basketball games. I didn't think there was another school I had that connection with. It was honestly a dream come true."
The Huskies approached Brady the summer after his sophomore year at Cascade. They invited him to a visit and within a week he knew he was ready to commit to Washington, where he's thinking about studying communications to be a sports broadcaster. He's also considering business or education.
"I could definitely see myself being a high school coach one day, too," Brady said.
Stencil thinks Brady will have a strong career as a Husky, and hopes he gets a chance to continue his baseball career after that.
"I guarantee, 100 percent, he wants to play pro. No doubt," Stencil said. "He's a great student, so I know school comes first, but he's definitely going to be looking to play at the next level."

Comments about Knog Blinder 4 USB Front Light:
This light is pretty awesome. Probably one of the brightest lights Knog produces and lighter than many of their other offerings. It's bright enough for daytime use, but I use it for my commutes and night group rides. The USB charging works nicely but the battery only lasts about 3 hours total, requiring frequent recharges, which is no big deal since the batteries are rechargeable. The mounting system feels good and allows for quick removal and installation. On my particular light, it rattles a little when going over bumps if it is at a certain angle. A little annoying but it's probably not a problem experienced by all of these lights. The light does not move around on the handlebar and feels solid. It won't pop off inadvertently.
The housing is anodized aluminum and is not the normal Knog rubbery material. This reduces weight, which is nice. I'm also pretty sure the light is completely waterproof, so it would work well as a rainy day light.

Color Stability and Lighting: We formulate our stains to maintain compatibility under daylight and cool white light. As a precaution, always select colors and materials under the specific type of lighting used at Haworth. Particular care should be taken with high intensity discharge light, which can adversely affect color compatibility.
Natural Occurring Effects of Light: Light determines color and has a tendency to bleach out color over a period of time. Depending on the color and the chosen veneer species the effect will vary. Fruitwood [e.g. cherry] has a tendency to darken as the stain color lightens, while other species of veneer tend to lighten as the stain color fades. This factor needs to be considered when adding new components to an existing job.

Revision as of 12:59, 20 May 2009
As of December 2007, 390 citizen initiatives had been proposed in Oklahoma since the first such initiative was put forward in 1908. (That first initiative--Oklahoma Initiative 1 (1908)--failed at the ballot box.) Of the 390 initiatives proposed in Oklahoma between 1908 and 2007, only 85 have appeared on the ballot. Of those 85 initiatives, 39 passed and 46 failed.
In the 15-year period between 1992 and 2007, just seven citizen initiatives have appeared on Oklahoma's ballot. Two of those seven initiatives--Oklahoma Initiative 358 (1994) and Oklahoma State Question No. 672 (1998)--were efforts to expand gambling.
Since 1998, only two citizen initiatives have made it to the ballot in Oklahoma.
Numbering system for Oklahoma initiatives
Since the very beginning in 1908, the government of Oklahoma has numbered all ballot measures consecutively, calling them all "state questions". At the same time, the government has separately and consecutively numbered all proposed citizen initiatives and legislative referrals. As a result, for example, Oklahoma Initiative 7--the seventh initiative proposed in the state--is also known as "Oklahoma State Question 15" because, counting both legislative referrals and initiatives, it was the 15th statewide question to be placed before the state's voters.
Early history
Efforts to see to it that the Oklahoma constitution included a provision to allow citizens to place initiatives on the ballot were begun by Theodore Sturgis of Perry, Oklahoma. Sturgis founded the Direct Legislation League when Oklahoma was still a territory, in 1899--eight years prior to statehood.
The I&R movement in Oklahoma soon picked up a formidable champion: Robert Latham Owen, who became the state's U.S. senator. Through the efforts of Sturgis' growing League, 102 of the 112 delegates elected in 1906 to Oklahoma's founding constitutional convention were committed in writing to supporting I&R. By an overwhelming majority, in 1907 the convention voted 80 to 5 to include I&R in the constitution. Oklahoma's I&R provision required that for any ballot measure to pass, it must be approved not just by a majority of the ballots cast on the proposition, but by a majority of all ballots cast in the election.
First successful initiative
The state's first successful initiative--Oklahoma Initiative 7 (1910)--appeared on the Oklahoma ballot in a June 11, 1910 special election. It proposed two questions: (1) Shall a permanent state capitol be established, and (2) if "yes" on the first, shall the capitol be at (a) Guthrie, (b) Oklahoma City, or (c) Shawnee? It passed, and voters chose Oklahoma City by a wide margin. However, the Oklahoma Supreme Court overruled their decision owing to the ballot's deviation from the single-subject rule. Nevertheless, Oklahoma City ultimately became the permanent state capital.
Other historical Initiatives
In the August 1910 primary, Oklahomans passed Oklahoma Initiative 10, an initiative requiring a literacy test as a qualification for voting, which included a "grandfather clause" that made it apply solely to blacks. The U.S. Supreme Court (223 U.S. 347) struck down the measure as unconstitutional. Yet the election had been unfair for another reason as well: racist state officials, instead of printing "yes" and "no" on ballots, printed in small type: "For the amendment." Anyone wishing to vote against it was supposed to scratch out those words with a pencil. If they left their ballot as it was, it was counted as a vote in favor. In some precincts voters were not even provided with pencils. Casting further doubt on the accuracy of the 1910 vote count was a "literacy test" measure placed on the ballot by the legislature in the 1916 primary, six years later: voters rejected it by a 59 percent margin.
On the 1910 ballot, voters rejected Oklahoma Initiative 11, an initiative to allow liquor sales in cities, which had been prohibited in Oklahoma's original constitution. It was the first of several Prohibition-repeal initiatives. The Oklahoma humorist Will Rogers would later say, "Oklahomans vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls." Indeed, liquor was so plentiful that voters in 1914 passed an initiative to make "drunkenness and excessive use of intoxicating liquors" cause for the impeachment of elected officials.
In 1912, a majority of the voters favored one initiative to require the direct election (by the people, instead of by state legislators) of U.S. senators, and another to move the state capital to Guthrie. The first was superseded by passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified the following year, while the second failed to win a majority of all ballots cast in the election.
The worst victim of the supermajority requirement was the 1914 gubernatorial candidate Charles West, who sponsored four initiatives: one to reduce the number of appellate courts, a second to reduce the property tax by 29 percent, a third to tax oil and gas production, and a fourth to abolish the state senate, thereby creating a unicameral legislature. All four garnered majorities of ballots cast on each proposition, but not majorities of the total cast in the election, and therefore failed. In 1916 this unfair requirement brought down two more initiatives, to the chagrin of their Socialist sponsors. Ironically, the measures were designed to ensure the fairness of elections. One would have altered voting registration procedures; the other would have created a state election board composed of three members, one appointed by each of the state's three major political parties (the Socialists were the third-largest party at that time). In the 1920s, corruption in state government prompted an initiative to establish a procedure to convene the legislature promptly to investigate allegations of corruption; it passed by a nearly three to one margin but was thrown out by the state supreme court, which ruled that it was not the proper subject of a constitutional amendment. When the court threw out a 1926 initiative that would have established a procedure for contesting property tax levies, however, its sponsors persisted: they rewrote their initiative in conformity to the court's requirements, and voters passed it the second time in 1928 by a margin of nearly five to one. The Great Depression hit Oklahoma hard, and Oklahomans turned to the initiative process to propose economic reforms. Among these were a 1935 initiative establishing a state welfare program and appropriating $2.5 million for it (passed by a 65 percent margin); a 1936 initiative increasing the automobile tag and sales taxes to provide assistance to needy elderly and disabled persons and children (approved by a 60 percent margin); and a 1936 constitutional amendment authorizing the latter initiative statute (passed by a 62 percent margin).
In the 1940s Oklahomans passed initiatives that provided retirement pensions for teachers (1942), allowed local property tax increases to aid schools (1946), and allowed the legislature to raise additional school funds (1946).
The only initiative to gain approval in the 1950s was a 1956 reapportionment measure; despite a four to three margin in favor, it failed to get a majority of those voting in the election. In the 1960s two more initiatives failed for the same reason: a 1962 reapportionment proposal and a 1964 measure changing the property tax limits. In 1974 the state constitution was finally amended so that an initiative would win if a majority of those voting on the individual initiative approved it. However, in 2001, the state legislature placed a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would have required twice the number of signatures for initiatives pertaining to wildlife. This action was taken to stop animal protection advocates attempts to ban cockfighting in the state, however the voters defeated it.

Staff Writer
Leslie Collins said she was disappointed in her daughter's education last year in the Olentangy school district.
Enter OASIS (Olentangy Academy: Supporting Individualized Success) a student-centered educational program for those students and parents seeking an alternative to the traditional school setting.
After enrolling in Oasis this year both mother and daughter, Rebecca Collins, an Orange Middle School seventh-grader, report they are pleased with the results.
Rebecca, 12, told the school board this week that she wants to be a doctor or scientist someday and was almost moved from the district last year when Olentangy's academic program proved not rigorous enough for her.
Thanks to OASIS, however, Rebecca is now taking ninth-grade honors classes that allow her to remain eligible to participate in school and extracurricular activities, since all OASIS students are assigned to a "home school."
"Becca can accelerate and excel," Leslie Collins told the school board during a presentation on the OASIS program this week. "We are extremely pleased. It's imperative that parents have an option," she said.
The OASIS program operates out of a pole barn behind Olentangy Shanahan Middle School on Shanahan Road. It started last year with just two students and has since grown to 56 students, said Jennifer Blakley, OASIS curriculum supervisor.
"It really has grown exponentially and come together in such a fabulous way," Blakley said.
Maura Hoover, a transfer student from Worthington Schools, is a ninth-grader at Olentangy High School (OHS). Her mother heard about the program and enrolled Maura in it.
"I can work at my own pace and my grades are so much better than they have ever been. It's a small-school environment," said Maura, who takes two classes at OHS in the morning, followed by classes at OASIS, then another two classes at OHS in the afternoon. She said she doesn't feel lost among the students as she did in a larger school environment. She also has been able to help the younger students in OASIS, which isn't typically an experience most high-schoolers have in a large district, she said.
Substitutes in math and science from the Central Ohio Educational Service Center (COESC) intervention specialists, counseling support personnel from Central Ohio Mental Health and school-community liaisons are all being utilized, Blakley said.
Blakley said OASIS has resulting in the district winning back 12 "community school students," otherwise known as home-based and distance learning students. The program has also eliminated 21 of the 36 alternative education seats from the COESC. All this comes at a savings of $268,194 for the district, she said.
In the future, Blakley hopes to continue to reduce the number of COESC alternative education seats, work on a marketing plan for OASIS and explore more virtual learning options, she said.
"We do want to keep the brightest kids in the buildings, but we don't want to hold those students back," Superintendent Wade Lucas said.

Practically Purrrrr...fect!
By D, retired island girl wannabe
from Denver (dry air), Colorado
I've tried 3 prescription combos to get the most comfortable near/far vision I think I can achieve, and I am very satisfied, especially since I have some astigmatism and this lens cannot address that and presbyopia. Pop them in as soon as I shower and take them out at bedtime. As a night owl, my day varies from 16-20 hours. No more smudged glasses, prescription sunglasses, fogging, slipping, or not reading the dashboard and all my electronic toys. And I can recline and simultaneously watch tv or a movie and read-a real treat after all these years. If these were daily disposables they would be absolutely perfect!

What does the word "professional" mean in genealogy?
6 comments:
I aspire to achieve the skills of a professional genealogist. I do not aspire to become someone who does work for others. This is not because I disdain work for others, but because at my age it would not be a reasonable aspiration and also because I am not sure that working for others would fit my personality.ReplyDelete
But the ability to search and analyze as certified professionals do is an ability many people working only on their own families can aspire to. To this end, I have become a member of APG. I also belong to several other genealogy societies; I take advantage of many learning opportunities.
I have not met a professional genealogist who has looked at my efforts to learn with scorn. Most of them have approved of my efforts and have been helpful as I try to meet my goals.
Setting goals and setting standards and trying to meet and to maintain them can only help genealogy in general.
I meet others who do not aspire to these goals. I do not scorn them; but I acknowledge to myself that we have different goals.
Trying to be better is not elitism. When and if we scorn those who do not try, we become elite. On the other hand, if a person shows me a pedigree chart without sources I will be polite. I will not add it to my public research. (I may use it as clues to careful research on my own.)
Also, anyone can offer to help me for a certain amount of money. If I understand the skills and ethics of certification, I will better be able to hire someone who has the same goals I aspire do. We do that with mechanics and house painters, as well as with doctors and lawyers; shouldn't we also have standards with those we hire to help us with genealogy?
I know some people get all twisted in knots about the term, but I regard it as simply someone who makes a living from genealogy. On the other hand, there are plenty of amateur genealogists doing professional-level work, which I aspire to myself.ReplyDelete
@Sue Great thoughtful comments. Meeting standards creates value in our own work product as well as a measure for the work of or for others.ReplyDelete
I have always wondered that in order to become a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) one need only pay the dues. This is not so with say the ABA or AMA. Yet, the APG had the trappings of an ABA/AMA organization and the BCG does not. Yet the BCG is the de facto licensee if there is one.ReplyDelete
I still think that for definition purposes, a professional genealogist takes on private clients and charges them. That is she makes a living from genealogy. I consider myself a high end amateur and/or a scholarly genealogist based on my publications.
As the post very systematically points out, "professional" is a systematically ambiguous word, meaning both "for hire" and "expert," which of course are not always the same thing! I agree with the other commenters. I have never been able to figure out why anyone would join APG and not want it to become a more professional organization.ReplyDelete
You all have led me to define some terminology so that we can get on (or nearly on) the same page comfortably. There is a new blog posting on its way, scheduled for Tuesday, that I hope will aid us in this discussion. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on it.ReplyDelete

EMERALD ISLE — The next municipal election will bring a change to the mayor's seat in Emerald Isle.
Long-time Mayor Art Schools has said he will not seek re-election to another term. He's completing 12 years in office and said it's time to let someone else step in and take on the job.
"After 12 years things are going well, and I think it's time to let someone else put their ideas in the mix," Schools said Wednesday.
Schools said people started asking him several weeks ago if he planned to run again and he decided to go ahead and announce his decision Tuesday during a luncheon for town employees given each year by Chapel by the Sea Church in Emerald Isle.
He followed that up with an announcement Wednesday morning at a meeting of the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce.
Candidates begin filing for 2013 municipal elections in July, giving anyone interested in running for the mayor's seat in Emerald Isle some time to consider.
Schools, who ran unopposed for mayor the past two elections, hopes to see the interest.
"It's time for other people to get involved," he said.
Schools said it has been a pleasure to serve the citizens of Emerald Isle.
"I've definitely enjoyed it, and I'd rather leave while I'm still enjoying it," he said.
While he never ran for mayor thinking he'd be in office 12 years later, Schools said the opportunity to be involved in the town has kept him going.
"It has just been the interest in the job. Things keep coming up and people have seemed satisfied with the work I've done. I've just enjoyed being involved," he said.
He said he has strived to keep Emerald Isle a community with citizen involvement and an atmosphere of cooperation and teamwork.
"My desire has always been to keep a community-type feel," said Schools,
Schools has served two two-year terms and two four-year terms.
Contact Daily News reporter Jannette Pippin at 910-382-2557 or firstname.lastname@example.com.---
Updated at 2:10 p.m. to correct number of terms Schools has served
Four-term mayor Art Schools from Emerald Isle has announced that he won't be running for re-election.
Schools told the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce Wednesday morning.
Schools told chamber members that it was time for the town to have another mayor but he won't remove himself from public service. He sits on other area advisory boards.
Schools has been the mayor for 12 years.

Coach Jake White's refusal to acknowledge the relevance of a specialist open-side flanker in the northern hemisphere has proved disastrous for the Springboks.
Match statistics from the defeats against Ireland and England are alarmingly weighted in the favour of the hosts and shows up the folly of White's insistence that an open-sider is not a necessity in test rugby.
In the two tests the Boks battled for ball to such an extent that Ireland and England made 321 passes to South Africa's 151. The Boks made almost double the amount of tackles, 187 to 100, while the ruck and pass domination was a staggering 120 to 46 to the home teams.
The most damning statistic that shows up the lack of impact White's loose-trio has had in the two test matches is that the Boks won 18 turnovers to the 17 of Ireland and England's. It is damning because the Boks, by virtue of Ireland and England's dominance of the ball, had nearly three times the breakdowns to contest. Ireland and England took the ball into the contest 138 times and the Boks won it back on 18 occasions. The Boks were the attackers at just 63 rucks and they lost it 17 times.
I spoke to several prominent coaches in South Africa and analysts and asked them for their interpretation of the breakdown statistics. All of them expressed a similar view that the Boks were unable to provide continuity because no openside flanker had been selected.
What compounded the situation was the absence of a mobile hooker.
The Boks were making double the amount of tackles because there was no one to turn over the opposition ball. Both Ireland and England were comfortable in retaining possession and recycling this possession. England made a mess of the possession, but alarmingly still comfortably took it through 10 and 20 phases on occasions. Ireland did the same, but the class of their back division and cohesion between the loose-forwards and halfbacks meant they easily broke down the Bok defence with 18 linebreaks.
White on this tour has opted for three loose-forwards capable of providing lineout options, but his search for a potent lineout has been at the expense of speed and accuracy in the support play. When the Boks did make a linebreak there was rarely one of the loose-forwards running on the inside shoulder of the linebreaker.
Against England it was at its worst when Akona Ndungane and Francois Steyn were both put into space and confronted with a one on one with Josh Lewsey. A traditional open-sider's angle of run would have been on the inside shoulder of the player with ball in hand. It didn't happen for the Boks because the national coach, unlike every other coach in the country (or for that matter the world), doesn't see the value of picking one of his loose-forwards to do that function.
England's public is not being fooled by the mediocrity of performance in winning for the first time in eight tests and the South African public should also not be fooled that the Bok defeat was more heroic than it was horrid.
With the right selections and strategy England should have been dismantled and Andy Robinson should be looking for a new job today. The Boks should also have won for the first time in 10 years.
Ireland, France, New Zealand and Argentina have all won at Twickenham in the last two years. The Boks have not.
White got his selection balance wrong, just like he did in Dublin and just like he did in 2004 against Ireland and England. Even in 2004, Schalk Burger was not a decisive factor in the northern hemisphere because he is not a natural open-sider.
Burger, at his peak, is a freak who is capable in this role in southern hemisphere conditions. Against Ireland and England in 2004 he looked lost and frustrated playing against specialist open-siders.
You would have thought the lessons would have been learned two years ago. They haven't because White did not believe there was a lesson taught. The coach stubbornly believes in picking tall loose-forwards, but all that the last two tests have shown is that the only thing we can learn from this history is that White has learned nothing.
The additional lineout options have won the Boks four against the throw on this tour and they've also lost four against the throw. They've scored a try from one against the throw and they've also conceded a try from one against the throw.
White continues to believe his philosophy is right and every critic and South African coach who thinks otherwise is wrong.
What White can't argue with is a record that reads played 12 overseas against New Zealand, Australia, England, France and Ireland and lost 11.
In the Northern Hemisphere White has played Ireland twice, England twice and France once and every time he has done the same thing and got the same result – a defeat.
Now he has introduced Kabamba Floors into the mix – a month after saying the player simply did not fit into the Boks' playing style? It makes no sense, unless there is an acknowledgement that if Floors plays, he does so as an open-sider.
It is fantastic that Floors has been called up, but it does make a mockery of White's mantra that he could not fly Luke Watson to New Zealand earlier this year because the player would not have enough time to learn the team playing systems.
Floors will have one training run with the team at Wasps on Tuesday morning, but White has already confirmed he will be in the match 22.
Don't ask where the logic is in that because logic is not something you'd associate with Bok selections.

March 25, 2015
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-49), a Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on Saudi Arabia's military action in Yemen:.
"The takeover of large swaths of Yemen by Iranian-backed Shia militants has forced our Saudi allies to take military action. Months of fairy tale negotiations and appeasement by this administration have led Iran to believe that it can act with impunity on an international scale. Now, more than ever, it is clear that any real settlement with Iran is impossible, and the president must acknowledge this fact. The continued easement or outright removal of sanctions against this rogue state will only further embolden Iran and facilitate its belligerent behavior. We must make it clear that we will support our allies and punish our enemies through steadfast resolve and decisive action."

Excellent scent. Crisp, clean and unique. The only downside is that it fades in 3 or 4 hours. But I will still continue to buy. Hands down my favorite.
