A comparison of janitorial workers with mental retardation and their non-disabled peers on retention and absenteeism.
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 1991) was enacted in 1990 to combat this problem of unemployment among persons with disabilities. It prohibits employers from discriminating against qualified job applicants with a physical or mental disability, and requires businesses, and government agencies to reasonably accommodate clients and customers with disabilities who use their services (Darragh, 1991).
To many persons with disabilities, the ADA appears to be a blessing. However, for some employers the ADA is perceived as a potentially costly mandate. While the threat of litigation may convince some employers to conform to the ADA, legislation may not change the negative perceptions that stigmatize persons with disabilities (Darragh, 1991; Noel, 1990).
Most of the unfavorable beliefs about persons with disabilities are unfounded but continue to be offered as reasons not to hire them (Jamero, 1979). Employees with disabilities are thought to perform less well, have more accidents, lower attendance rates, and higher turnover (Lester & Caudill, 1987; Stevens, 1986).
It is likely that these perceptions persist due to a lack of knowledge or contact with persons with disabilities or unsuccessful experiences with these employees (Parent & Everson, 1986). However, employers' attitudes have been shown to become more positive as their experiences with persons with disabilities increase (Levy, Jessop, Rimmerman, and Levy, 1994). As a result, the ADA may act as a catalyst to help reduce the negative stereotypes surrounding employees with disabilities.
Empirical findings comparing persons with disabilities to those without disabilities contradict many of these beliefs. Research focusing on both performance and non-performance related work behaviors indicates that employees with disabilities are comparable to or better than employees without disabilities on attendance, turnover rate, productivity, safety records, and overall job performance (Greenwood & Johnson, 1987; Lester & Caudill, 1987; Parent & Everson, 1986; Stevens, 1986).
Support for these beliefs is provided in a study of the McDonald's Project (Brickey and Campbell, 1981) which reported a turnover rate of 41% for workers with mental retardation compared to a rate of 175% for non-disabled (ND). During the second year there was no turnover for the employees with MR. Results also showed that supervisors were satisfied with the attendance behavior of the workers with MR.
Results from a comparative study of workers with MR and their non-disabled peers by the National Association of Retarded Citizens (1986) found that supervisors rated the employees with MR 44% better on attendance than their non-disabled coworkers. In a more recent study, Ondusko (1991) found no differences on length of service and number of days absent from work.
Other favorable evidence for workers with mental retardation is provided by Martin, Rusch, Tines, Brulle, and White (1985) who showed that employees with MR did not significantly differ from their non-disabled peers with respect to absences (excused or unexcused), or sick leave. Unexcused absences and sick leave hours taken were actually less than those of the non-disabled. Martin et al. (1985) also found that the non-disabled workers took significantly more vacation time than their co-workers with MR, most of whom did not take vacation time even after having accrued it. A strength of the Martin et al. (1985) and Ondusko (1991) studies is that results were based on actual attendance records of employees rather than subjective evaluations of employers.
Not all evidence points to favorable findings for employees with MR when comparisons are made. Some studies show absenteeism to be a problem (Brickey, Browning, and Campbell, 1982; Rudred, Ferrara, & Ziarnick, 1980). Brickey et al. (1982) found that the primary reasons for the failure to find jobs for sheltered workshop employees with MR was due to slow work performance, poor attendance, and a lack of satisfaction with employment hours. However, the findings from this study were based on subjective employer ratings rather than empirical data. Also, since these findings were derived from workers in a sheltered environment, they may not generalize to employees with MR in a competitive work setting.
The purpose of this study was to compare workers with MR to those without disabilities from their first year of employment through their second on frequency of and reasons for absences and frequency of terminations (voluntary and involuntary). It was predicted that employees with mental retardation would have a lower rate of voluntary and involuntary terminations. This prediction was based on the assumption that, in general, alternative job opportunities would be less available to workers with mental retardation than those without a disability. It was also predicted that workers with MR would have fewer absences than their non-disabled co-workers because previous research has indicated that employees with MR are comparable to or superior than the non-disabled on attendance (Martin et al., 1985; National Association of Retarded Citizens 1986; Ondusko, 1991). In addition, because persons with MR are less likely to be married (Sands & Kozleski, 1994) and have children, it was predicted they would have fewer absences due to personal/family matters. It was also predicted they would have fewer absences due to: no call/no show, no reason given, suspensions, poor weather, and reports of no transportation because a review of 13 business and trade journals indicated that the general consensus among most businesses is that employees with disabilities are dependable, reliable, loyal and responsible (Parent & Everson, 1986). It was also expected that they would take less vacation time because empirical evidence has shown that non-disabled employees take significantly more vacation time than employees with MR (Martin et al, 1985).
Finally, groups were not expected to differ on absences due to doctors' appointments, funeral leave, jury duty, holidays, and personal time because evidence has shown no differences due to sick leave and excused absences (Martin et al., 1985).
Subjects and setting
Participants were 417 janitorial workers employed by a CARF accredited rehabilitation facility. The workers were disbursed among 6 janitorial contract sites in a large eastern metropolitan area. They were responsible for cleaning the buildings at the locations to which they were assigned. Three hundred eighteen were classified as non-disabled (ND). The remaining 99 had been diagnosed with Mental Retardation (MR) prior to employment with the facility.
The facility acquires the janitorial contracts from federal and state funding programs through competitive bids. To satisfy contract requirements, the employer must maintain a ratio of 75% disabled and 25% non-disabled man hours at each contract site. To comply with this stipulation, the employer recruits and hires persons from all disability groups. Another stipulation is that the employer provide case-management services to all employees. The casemanager's role is similar to that of an Employee Assistance Counselor. The casemanager provides support to all employees, including the non-disabled, to assist them in maintaining employment. The support can consist of counseling sessions focusing on personal or work issues, and referral to other service providers such as a drug rehabilitation facility. Since these workers with disabilities are competitively employed they are considered by the rehabilitation community to have been assimilated into the world of work.
Personnel records for all current employees were obtained to determine if they met the criteria for inclusion in the study. The records of any employees terminated between (1)1989 and 1991 were also reviewed for possible inclusion. Employees with a disability were included only if they had a documented diagnosis of mental retardation. All non-disabled employees were included.
Data on (1) length of employment and (2) reason for termination (voluntary and involuntary) was collected from the personnel records of terminated employees. Length of employment was dichotomized into less than 1 year (short term) and greater than 1 year (long term) while reasons for termination were classified as voluntary or involuntary. Data on gender or race were not collected for the terminations analysis.
For the analysis of absenteeism, data were collected on age, sex, marital status, contract site of employment, date of hire, number and reasons for absences covering employees' first and second years of employment. The total number of absences from work (i.e. missing a full day) and (2)reasons for absences were obtained from each employee's personnel records and calculated separately for year one and year two.
A total of 417 janitors were included in the study. Of those, 338 were included in the analysis of terminations and 120 for the analysis of absenteeism.
Voluntary and Involuntary Termination
Of the 338 employees in this aspect of the study, 288 were non-disabled and 50 were workers with mental retardation (MR). Results supported the first hypothesis. Workers with MR had a higher retention rate than NDs. Thirty-four percent (17 of 50) remained after their first year compared to only 10% of NDs (30 of 288); [X.sup.2] (1) = 179, p [less than] 001.
The relative proportions of voluntary to involuntary terminations for the two groups showed no differences for those leaving within their first year, [X.sup.2](1) = .829, ns. Of the 258 NDs who left in the first year, 81% (209 of 258) did so voluntarily while 19% (49 of 258) were forced to do so. Similarly, for the employees with MR, 70% (25 of 33) who left within the first year did so voluntarily while the other 8 (24%) were involuntary departures. Interestingly, the relative proportions differed for the second year terminations. Only 3 of the 30 NDs were forced to leave whereas over half of the workers with MR (9 of 17) did so involuntarily, [X.sup.2](1)=12.43; p [less than] .01, phi = .51.
Of the 120 janitors who reached their first anniversary date, 55 were non-disabled (27 males; 28 females) and 65 were workers with MR (42 males; 23 females). Almost all were single. Only 14 of the 120 (4 MRs and 10 NDs) were married.
An ANOVA for age by Status (MR vs. ND) indicated that on average, NDs were somewhat older than the workers with MR, F (1,117) = 7.52; p [less than] .01; Ms: ND = 38; MR = 32). Although age was negatively associated with absence in the first year (r = -.21, p [less than] .01), it accounted for only four percent of the variance and therefore was not considered in subsequent analyses.
About 84% (101 of 120) were evenly distributed between two primary sites. The remaining 19 (16%) were disbursed among the other four sites. There was a disproportionate number of employees with MR relative to non-disabled at the two main sites [X.sup.2](5) = 35.1; p [less than] .05. Fifty-five percent of the workers with MR (38 of 65) were at Site A, 26% (17 of 65) at Site B, with the remaining 19% distributed evenly across the other four sites. Seventy-four percent of NDs (40 of 54) were at Site A, with the remaining 26% evenly distributed across the other 5 sites.
Absences for year one. Hypothesis Two which stated that workers with MR would have fewer absences than NDs was not supported. Although an initial analysis indicated that there were significantly more absences at Site A than B. However, when two outliers (29 and 38 absences) at Site A were eliminated, absence was found not to differ by Site.
Absences for year two. Seventy of the 120 janitors completed at least two years of employment. Of these seventy long term (LT) employees, 28 were NDs and 42 were workers with MR. Most of the workers with MR (37 of 42) were located at Site A, whereas most of their ND peers (40 of 57) were at Site B.
An ANOVA for second year absences for the LT janitors by Site and Status, indicated main effects for both. However, since Site and Status were confounded, it was impossible to determine which contributed to the differences in absences. Therefore, no conclusions could be drawn regarding the influence of Status on year two absences.
An analysis of these seventy long term (LT) employees on absences for their first year indicated that the workers with MR had significantly more than NDs. Both groups of long term employees showed substantial increases in absences from year one to year two (Means yr 1: MRs = 7.0, NDs = 4.1; year 2: MRs = 13.3, ND = 8.0), [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED].
Excuses for year one. An ANOVA for excuses by status for first year absences indicated significant differences for only two of the 13 categories. NDS had significantly more absences than MRS for family/personel reasons while MRS had more due to poor weather conditions. The results do not support the hypothesis that employees with MR would have fewer absences due to personal time, no call/no show, and no reason given. However, they do confirm expectations that groups would not differ on absences due to illness, doctors' appointments, funeral leave, jury duty, and holidays.
Excuses for year two. Frequencies of absences within the 13 categories of absences were too small to conduct a meaningful analysis for the 70 who remained through their second year. The percentage of workers having no absences for each category ranged from 30% to 58% with an average percentage of 43%. Therefore no analyses were conducted to determine if groups differed on excuses for second year absences.
This study compared employees with mental retardation (MR) to non-disabled co-workers on retention rates, reasons for terminations, number of absences, and excuses for absences. As hypothesized, employees with MR had a higher retention rate than NDs. A closer look at the reasons for termination may explain why. Although groups did not differ on relative proportions of voluntary to involuntary terminations for those who left within the first year, they did for those who left within the second. MRs had a higher rate of involuntary dismissals for the second year. Compared to only 10% of NDs who were dismissed, over half of their co-workers with MR who left were forced to do so. This difference [TABULAR DATA FOR TABLE 1 OMITTED] could be attributed to several factors. First, and probably foremost, is that persons with MR have difficulty securing employment. There are fewer jobs available for their skill level. And for the opportunities that do exist, they are probably at a competitive disadvantage. As a result, they are probably less likely to quit a job unless forced to do so. Conversely, since NDs have greater job opportunities, they are more likely to voluntarily leave a job to acquire a better one. Also, since they have more employment alternatives, they are probably more inclined to quit when they anticipate getting fired.
Since employees with MR had a higher rate of involuntary departures in the second year, why not for the first year as well? Most likely it is due to the fact that since workers are on probation for the first year they are probably more inclined to exhibit their best behavior for that period. Once they are no longer on probation, they may be more likely to "slack off" if they are so inclined. This would eventually lead to more involuntary terminations for workers with MR because of their unwillingness to quit since they have fewer alternative employment opportunities. Also, NDs are probably better able to read the signs of impending termination and therefore more likely to resign before being fired. A third factor may have to do with the nature of the employment contract. Because of the mandated ratio of 75% disabled to 25% non-disabled man-hours, the employer may be reluctant to terminate workers with MR who are performing poorly. They may also be more inclined to allow them more time for improvement. Therefore, it may be that only after the poor performance persists into the second year and becomes too costly, that they feel compelled to terminate.
The second part of the study compared both groups on number of absences for the first two years and specific excuses given for the absences. Contrary to predictions, employees with MR did not have fewer total absences for either year. Surprisingly, for those who stayed at least two years, there was a substantial increase in number of absences during the second year for both groups of employees. However, because a large proportion of long term employees with MR were at one site and most NDs were at another, it was impossible to determine how much conditions at the respective sites contributed to differences in absenteeism for the second year. Confounding of Site and Status was not a problem for the analysis of first year absences.
Although the groups did not differ on overall rates of absenteeism for year one, employees with MR did show a lower rate for personal/family reasons. This difference is probably due to the fact that workers with MR are likely to have fewer family commitments compared to NDs. They did not however, show a lower rate for the other six categories as predicted. Contrary to predictions, the workers with MR had a higher rate of absences due to poor weather. They may be more adversely affected by inclement weather since they are more likely than non-disabled to rely on assistance from parents, other relatives and public transportation. As a result, employers might need to consider transportation alternatives for these employees such as the development of a ride share program.
A particular strength of this study is that it assessed work related behaviors of employees with MR in a competitive work environment. Additionally, the sample included workers within the same occupation at several diverse work sites. Therefore, greater confidence can be placed in generalizing the findings to employees with MR who are working in the general workforce. Unfortunately, confounding of Status and Site for long term employees, made it impossible to assess differences in absences for the second year.
Conclusions from these findings suggest that hiring persons with mental retardation may be a trade off. On the positive side, these individuals may be more committed to staying with the company. On the other hand, employers may find it more difficult to terminate them when circumstances deem it necessary to do so. If poor performance is a factor that contributes to their higher rate of involuntary termination, then employers must be prepared to assess the reasons for it. Perhaps improved training or job restructuring may help remedy the problem. In addition, making accommodations such as a ride share or work-at-home program might eliminate the problem of absences due to no transportation or inclement weather. It seems clear however, that workers with mental retardation can contribute much to the workforce. Their commitment to the job and dependability can benefit the employer by reducing voluntary terminations and thus reducing recruitment and hiring expenditures.
As we develop a better understanding of how to accommodate the workplace to fit the needs and strengths of those with mental retardation, employers will be better able to utilize this under-represented segment of our human resources.

Haunted Morse Mill Hotel in Missouri
The Morse Mill Hotel is located in the tiny community of Morse Mill in the Meramec Valley of Jefferson County, Missouri. The building was originally built in 1816 as a farm house. In the mid-1850s, the property was purchased by industrialist John H. Morse who turned the building into a hotel, speakeasy and brothel.
Morse Mill was, at one time, a "glitzy" resort area, and the hotel was evidently well-known during the Roaring 20's to many well-to-do citizens of St. Louis as well as travelers from all over the world. Famous people including Clara Bow, Charlie Chaplin, Charles Lindberg, Jesse James and Al Capone stayed in the hotel at one time or another.
The glamour of Morse Mill ended when the Lake of the Ozarks area become increasingly popular; and, the flood of 1993 finished off most of what was left of the little town.
Morse Mill is also the birthplace of serial killer Bertha Gifford, a farmer's wife, who murdered her victims with arsenic during the early 1900s. She is said to have been responsible for the deaths of possibly 20 people, mostly neighbors, including many children from 1906 to 1928.
Gifford and her first husband managed the Morse Mill Hotel for a time, and Bertha's remains are interred in the area.
One report states that after Gifford was charged, and was awaiting her murder trial in jail, she would pace the cell and "how like a wolf" and make "other ungodly noises." She was found to be insane, and sentenced to the Missouri State Hospital for the Insane in Farmington until her death in 1951.
Some of the paranormal activity reported in the four-story edifice is believed by many to be the work of Bertha Gifford and includes equipment failure, footsteps, a feeling of being touched, extreme cold, objects being moved around the room, visitors being attacked with scratched and shoves, voices, a black mist, the smell of tobacco and glimpses of shadow people. EVP readings have captured knocks, footsteps, whisperings, growls from the fireplace area, and one very cool one of a male voice saying "Mr. Morse." There are also many unexplainable anomalies in video and photos including orbs, odd lights and apparitions.
Several investigations have been conducted by professional paranormal researchers, and the results are easily found on youtube.com.

the difference between them, and by doing it manually I mixt images between
them. It's like if the timeline was: [] [] [] [] , etc, where every [] is
an image and at the end it gives, (if a crush them) IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,
'cause I can't show it there it is in fact even more horrible then that!

to close unused programs and see what happens. Sometimes in order to save
space the reviewing picture can be of a lesser quality. However, this
changes to a far better quality when you finally produce the video. It's

SEATTLE: Feb. 18, 2008 Seattle Childrens Hospital Research Institute announced today that it has received a $1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to study ways to prevent global prematurity and stillbirth. Prematurity claims the lives of over 1 million newborn babies worldwide each year. It is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States with over 10,000 babies dying each year. Over 3 million babies are stillborn each year worldwide, and it is believed that many of these deaths are caused by the same factors that cause prematurity. The grant will be used to review current published literature and identify opportunities for new areas of research to reduce the incidence of prematurity and stillbirths worldwide. Seattle Childrens is spearheading the study and will host an international summit in Seattle in 2009 to bring together the worlds foremost experts in this field.
Prematurity and stillbirth contribute to a significant burden of disease worldwide, and there is an urgent need to learn more about the causes and develop effective preventive measures, said Dan Kraushaar, ScD, MPH, Deputy Director for Integrated Health Solutions Development at the Gates Foundation. According to The Lancet, there are millions of stillbirths and countless premature births every year in developing countries, and the problem may be under-counted due to poorly functioning vital events registration systems in these countries. In addition, maternal mortality rates can be very high following stillbirths.
In the U.S., neonatal intensive care units see the devastating effect of premature births every day, said Thomas N. Hansen, MD, CEO at Childrens Hospital and Regional Medical Center and a co-investigator. Parents the world over need to know the medical community is coming together to address this universal global issue. Childrens is pleased to join ranks with other groundbreaking researchers together we can all contribute to improv

Capitals fall in Hunter's coaching debut
If Dale Hunter needs a role model as a new coach trying to make the Washington Capitals play better defense and with more confidence, all he has to do is study Ken Hitchcock and the St. Louis Blues.
POWER RANKINGSBest on the ice or just playing nice? Which team tops our power rankings?
Hunter's NHL coaching debut was spoiled Tuesday night by the stingiest defense in the league. Hitchcock's Blues were a shutdown machine once again, limiting Alex Ovechkin to one shot on goal Tuesday night in a 2-1 victory.
''We didn't give up anything in two periods,'' said Hitchcock, who is 8-1-2 since taking over from Davis Payne on Nov. 7. ''We're starting to dial in the way we need to play to win hockey games. When you play this well, it's a good feeling.''
T.J. Oshie and Matt D'Agostini scored, and Jaroslav Halak made 18 saves for the Blues, who have allowed only 13 goals in Hitchcock's 11 games.
''The first three games, everyone's playing in front of a new coach, you're trying to make a good first impression,'' Oshie said. ''Everyone's playing hard, and it seems like we haven't taken our foot off the gas since then.''
Sounds like a perfect blueprint for the Capitals, who were in a tailspin when Bruce Boudreau was fired on Monday and replaced by former team captain Hunter.
Making his debut behind an NHL bench — he spent the last 11 years coaching in the Ontario Hockey League — Hunter got a better defensive effort from the Capitals but not much offensive spark. Washington was outplayed until desperation time in the third period, but at least it didn't suffer the odd-man rushes in the uninspired routs of Boudreau's last days.
''You can't set a timeframe to it,'' Hunter said, ''but I want them to get better and better every game. ... By watching them live now, we've got some stuff to work on.''
Nicklas Backstrom got the lone goal for the Capitals, and Washington was outshot 30-19. Two stars who bore the brunt of Boudreau's more disciplinarian ways in recent weeks failed to get untracked in the new regime's debut. Ovechkin supplied the assist on Backstrom's first-period goal, but the two-time league MVP's only shot on goal came with 18:14 to play, and of both Alexander Semin's shots came in the third period.
Hunter and the players said the defense was the first priority. The offense will come around eventually.
''We did what he ask us to do,'' said Ovechkin, who has only one goal in his last nine games, ''and I think if we (are) going to play the same way, we (are) going to get some success.''
Wearing a blue suit — ''the only one I got,'' he said — and a lime green tie before the game and a red one during the game, Hunter took his spot behind the bench to cheers from Capitals fans who watched him play for the franchise from 1987-99 and can look up anytime to the rafters to see the banner featuring his retired No. 32 jersey. The team's production staff put together slick videos with the themes ''History welcomes you back, Coach'' and ''November 29, 2011, back where you belong,'' the second one bringing the crowd to its feet during a first-period break.
The dividends weren't immediately apparent. The Blues controlled play from the opening whistle, winning individual battles and keeping the puck bottled up at the Capitals' end. It took a counterattack started by goalie Tomas Vokoun to produce the first goal, with Ovechkin feeding Backstrom for the one-time wrister that went underneath Halak's right leg pad.
The Blues got their well-deserved tying goal later in the first period when Oshie put in the rebound when Alexander Steen's shot hit the underside of the crossbar.
The Blues took the lead in the second period when Patrik Berglund kept alive the rebound of Chris Stewart's shot, then D'Agostini gathered the puck and beat Vokoun on a wraparound.
Boudreau won 200 games faster than any coach in modern NHL history but couldn't find sustained success in the playoffs. His attempt to make the players — including team captain Ovechkin — more accountable this season didn't fly, and he was dismissed after losing six of eight.
Now they're getting a crash course in the ways of Hunter, who has to install his system a little bit at a time between games.
''It's not like having three days off or something,'' Hunter said, ''where you can really hammer it home.''
NOTES: The Capitals announced the first change to Hunter's staff, with Jim Johnson hired as an assistant to replace Bob Woods. Johnson was the head coach of the AHL's Norfolk Admirals for 39 games in 2009-10. He played 13 seasons as a defenseman in the NHL, including two-plus seasons in Washington from 1993-96. ... St. Louis won at Washington for the first time since Jan. 28, 2003. ... Hunter is the second coach to move straight from the Ontario Hockey League to the NHL in the past four seasons. Peter DeBoer, now with the New Jersey Devils, was hired by the Florida Panthers in 2008.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
The Riverdale-based Lewis Academy of Excellence may lose its fight to open this year, if the State Board of Education accepts a recommendation from Interim State School Superintendent Brad Bryant to deny a new charter for the school this week.
The school, whose original charter expired this summer, cannot re-open for the 2010-2011 school year without a new charter. Last month, the Clayton County Board of Education voted to deny a new charter to the school. Lewis Academy's last hope to re-open this year -- as a charter school, at least -- was to appeal to the State Board of Education, and get a state charter.
Documents released ahead of the state school board's meeting this week, however, show that the Georgia Department of Education is backing the Clayton County Board of Education's decision. The state school board is scheduled to meet on Wednesday and Thursday.
Bryant is scheduled to make his recommendation on Lewis Academy, on Wednesday, with a vote expected to come the next day, according to the meeting's agenda.
"It is recommended that the State Board of Education deny the state-chartered special school petition submitted by Lewis Academy of Excellence (LAE), because the petition does not comply with the Charter Schools Act, and State Board of Education Rule 160-4-9-.04," an item summary of the agenda reads.
The summary is posted under the eBoard section of the Georgia Department of Education's web site.
The meetings are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., on Wednesday, and at 9 a.m., on Thursday, in the State Board Room (room 2070), in the Twin Towers East building, located at 205 Jesse Hill, Jr., Dr., in Atlanta.
Lewis Academy's chief executive officer, Patricia Lewis, and the school's attorney, Mike Raffauf, could not be reached for comment on Monday.
According to State Superintendent Bryant, in a Sept. 22 letter to Lewis, there was a long list of problems with the charter petition. Chief among them was the fact that the school did not send the state the same charter petition that the Clayton County Board of Education had denied, Bryant wrote.
"The Charter Schools Rule does not permit a petition submitted to the State Board of Education to be altered from the petition denied by the local board," Bryant wrote. "Because the document you submitted on September 14, 2010, differs from the petition denied by the Clayton County School Board, on September 13, 2010, we are unable to recommend approval of your petition."
Documents, included on the state's eBoard site, show that the petition that was submitted on Sept. 14, differed from the petition that the Clayton County Board of Education denied, in 13 areas.
Those areas included: Changing the school's attendance zone from just Clayton County, to a five-county area; changes to the proposed salary schedule for employees; removing sections that mentioned the role of parents in developing the petition; adding a student-recruitment plan, and a section on resolving conflicts of interest among founding governing board members.
But, those were not the only problems. The state school superintendent also cited a report on the results of an investigation into answer changes on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) in 2009 as an issue.
In February, the Governor's Office of Student Achievement placed Lewis Academy on its "severe concern" list of schools with high numbers of classes with questionable erasure marks, where wrong answers were changed to right answers on the CRCT. At Lewis Academy, 56.9 percent of its classes were flagged for having too many changed answers.
The school was investigated twice, by Marietta-based Education Planners, LLC, on behalf of Clayton County Public Schools. Those findings were turned over to Clayton County Public Schools officials, who were, in turn, responsible for giving the reports to the Governor's Office of Student Achievement.
In Bryant's letter to Patricia Lewis, he wrote that the final report indicated cheating may have taken place at the school. "That report found that the Lewis Academy of Excellence testing process was compromised by the lack of a secure environment, and concluded, given the high percentage of their classrooms flagged with the lack of control in the test environment, it is very likely that testing misconduct occurred in 2009," Bryant wrote.
Bryant said the state also looked at a charter petition provided by the school, in August, "to provide every consideration to Lewis Academy." This was the same petition the Clayton County school board voted on, he wrote, but it showed there were several problems that the state could not overlook.
He said Lewis Academy still had not addressed 11, of the 31 concerns expressed by state officials in a letter sent to the school in May. One area mentioned by Bryant was the fact that Lewis Academy would operate as a "for profit" institution, if it were granted a new charter by the State Board of Education. The state school superintendent said that could not be allowed in Georgia.
"Such a status would be in conflict with Georgia Law, requiring charters to be held by non-profit corporations," he wrote.
The other outstanding problem areas, noted by Bryant, included: questions about the school's lease agreement with Lewis Academy Property Holdings, LLC (which owns the school's facility), and whether Patricia Lewis got a financial benefit from the arrangement; why Lewis Academy Assistant Chief Executive Officer Dionne Thompson received payments for "real estate services" and a "summer camp;" the lack of a chief financial officer, in compliance with state requirements, and a lack of background information about the membership of the school's board of directors.
"Together, these reasons alone would prevent me from recommending approval to the State Board of Education," Bryant wrote.

Mayor Wants Public Safety Tax Considered
By KWGS News
Mayor Dewey Bartlett, Jr. goes before the Tulsa City Council and proposes a public safety tax. The Mayor wants to use the city's portion of the old Tulsa County 'Four-to-Fix the County' sales tax to better fund police and fire operations.
Mayor Bartlett says the city's portion of the .167-cent tax would be enough to fund two fire and police academies each year. The left-over money could be used for graffiti abatement, beautification efforts or street repairs.
The Mayor would like to see the details worked out and the plan placed before voters in November. Rather than create a temporary, five year tax, Mayor Bartlett wants the public safety tax to be be made permanent.

By Vitali Shaposhnikov: I assume that most of us have already heard the rumors that Antonio Tarver (29-6-0) claims he is the only fighter today who has all the tools needed to dethrone Wladimir Klitschko (56-3-0), despite the fact that his only victory in the heavyweight division came against Nagy Aguilera (16-6-0) via a 10 round U.D.
A year ago, Klitschko had mentioned that he wants to fight me, but since then never said a word about this. I have a feeling that he is avoiding me. Wladimir clearly understands that only I could beat him, and doesnt believe in himself. I have everything needed to beat him, said Tarver in a recent interview. (http://www.gorodokboxing.com/news.php?id=8209) I wonder what those tools needed to beat Wladimir he is talking about. Is it Tarvers extensive experience in the heavyweight division?
Despite the fact that this is simply absurd in mine, and many boxing fans opinion, Emanuel Steward thinks its doable: We dont have a big choice. Its either Tarver or Arreola. I think that Tarver is a pretty good candidate. Also, Tarver is a good trash talker, and could promote this very well.
I am pretty speechless about the fact that this is even being discussed. Not only will Wlad dominate and knock Tarver out, but this fight brings absolutely no mystery to the result. I may be wrong here, so am very interested in hearing what you guys have to say about this proposal.

Kyatchi strikes out and hits some home runs

A handful of dishes, while still enjoyable, left less of a lasting impact. The fajitas were quite basic and would have been greatly improved with the addition of a little acid. The torta milanese, with very lightly breaded steak, pickled onions, sauteed bell peppers, and the reprise of the delectable crema on huge toasted roll, earned a very solid B, but paled in comparison to anything from Manny's Tortas. Catalina's has only two dessert options: rice with sweetened milk and cinnamon that you can get hot or cold, and flan. The flan that we are most used to seeing actually has Germanic roots and is more correctly categorized as creme caramel, a turned-out custard with a soft caramel top. It migrated to Spain, where it became ubiquitous, and finally turned up on Mexican and Latin American menus as a familiar finish to a feast. Catalina's version is served roughly chopped up in a tall sundae cup and has a craggy texture, which usually indicates it's been cooked too long, at too high a heat, or both. The flavors are sweet but not syrupy, with a tang of citrus that's more orange than lemon. The arroz con leche had a definite comfort factor, but after a few bites it became cloyingly sweet and too reminiscent of a child's leftover Cream of Wheat for me to enjoy as a decadent end to a meal.
2301 37th Ave. NE
Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Category: Restaurant > Latin American
Region: Columbia Heights
Because of Catalina's very laid-back but still friendly and accommodating approach to dining, the service may not be terribly consistent from visit to visit. But Catalina's offers incredible value for your money, a diverse menu where everything is made from scratch, and, if you step just a little outside your comfort zone, more than a few of the good kind of surprises.

Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Barolo Riserva 2004
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Fruit Source:Cascina Francia cru in Serralunga
Avg. Yield : 30 hL/hA
Fermentation : 3-4 weeks in wooden vats with regular breaking-up of the caps. No temperature control
Aging: minimum 7 years in large cask
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2004 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is drop-dead gorgeous. I have tasted the wine multiple times from barrel and three times from bottle and never been anything less than blown away. The 2004 is a subtle, layered Monfortino that captures the sheer elegance and finesse of this great vintage. It is sweet, perfumed, silky and utterly mind-blowing. From barrel it has always been a 100 point wine, but it has just been bottled and naturally a bit closed in on itself. Still, with some time in the glass its silky, perfumed fruit and dazzling class come to life. The 2004 is remarkably harmonious for such a young wine. Readers will have much fun debating which is the greatest Monfortino of recent years. Could it be the 1996, 1999 or 2002 for their huge structure and classicism? Or, is it the 1997 for its opulence? What if the dark horse 1998 and 2000 steal the show? Personally, I adore the 2001 and 2004 for their completeness, but the 2004 is the sexiest of them all. Sadly, 2004 is also the year Giovanni Conterno passed away, but one can't escape the feeling his spirit lives in this wine. Kudos to Roberto Conterno and his team for this magnificent, thrilling Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2044. "
International Wine Cellar - "Good deep, full red. Knockout nose combines primary red fruits, estery spices, violet, herbs, leather, mocha, spices and minerals. There's a depth and power to the liqueur-like red fruits that reminds me of a Bonneau wine, but with nothing cooked about it. With time in the glass, this Barolo grew brighter and more sharply delineated, with vibrant red fruits showing excellent cut and a light touch. There's a boatload of tannins here but they're beautifully buffered by the amazingly sappy fruit. The nearly endless finish is lifted by an exhilarating note of blood orange."
Giacomo Conterno Winery
For 45 years, until his death in 2004, Giovanni Conterno forged a reputation as the greatest of all Barolo producers, irrespective of style. The wines he made were the quintessence of "traditional" Barolo: rich, powerful, massively structured, and capable of long development in bottle. View all Giacomo Conterno Wines
About Piedmont(PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review1 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Nestled right on the banks of the White Salmon river in a small community of other cabins. It's private, though not isolated - there are neighboring cabins across the river and one next door. The setting is picturesque. Accommodations are simple (rustic) but with all the basic amenities. And less than an hour and a half from Portland, ten minutes from Hood River - its hard to beat the location.
Daytime outdoor activities, dinner on the deck, and sleeping on the screened porch are our favorite things to do. The river is spring fed so it is cold all year and swift, but a quick dip on a hot day is possible. Kayaking and rafting on the river are popular (class 2-5), and there are many guided trips options in BZ or Husum. There are also ample hiking, cycling and mountain biking options including the Nestor Peak 19 mile loop trail - which you can start from the door. Trout Lake and the Gifford Pinchot Forest are to the North with lots more recreation options - including Mt. Adams. There's also a commercial stable three miles down the road and golf (Husum Hills) approx. five miles away. Also multiple wineries and breweries within driving distance.
Hood River is a ten minute drive away. A great place to go for shopping and a meal. Trout Lake is about twenty miles to the North. The town of White Salmon is about five miles east.
A little more on the rustic charms… Cabin is about 600 square feet and includes main living area / kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and screened sleeping porch overlooking river. Maximum occupancy is three / two cars - though best suited for couple. It's an open floor plan, with limited separation between main living area and bedroom. The sleeping porch is screened and sits right on river. It's open and can get chilly - though is perfect in summer months - actually pretty dreamy. It's cozy living quarters - ideal for a couple. There is a small shower and sink from a curtained bathroom off the master bedroom. Kitchen is very functional and includes mini fridge, electric oven with stove top, coffee maker, toaster, sink with hot water, basic pots and pans, cooking tools, dishware, silverware etc. (on a hot summer weekend you will want to think about supplementing mini fridge with a cooler). There's also a gas BBQ outside.
It's simple, though very cool and a perfect staging area for various activities or for just relaxing. Oh - and our dog thinks its the best place in the world too. Cabin is dog friendly - no deposit required provided your dog behaves him/herself and stays off furniture.
Note: If you do decide to rent / stay, it's important to us that you be good neighbors to the other cabin owners. We appreciate your (and dog if you bring one) consciousness about the wild and scenic environment, appropriate quiet times, etc. If you're looking for a place to be loud / party / entertain - that's fine - but this is not the location for you. Maximum occupancy is three and two cars - unless otherwise arranged. Extra rates apply if we agree to occupancy above three. Inside cabin is non smoking.
Also: for some reason East Lake Road doesn't link with Google Earth or GPS - to see in Google just type in 11 Creekside Place (even though it's 11 East Lake Road) White Salmon, 98672. I show 45 degrees 46'53.52'N 121 degrees 30' 52.46'W
Finally, Condit Dam was breached in October 2011 creating a free-flowing White Salmon river for the first time in about a hundred years. The water in front of cabin has changed dramatically as a result. We still sit right on water, but it's definitely more river than lake now - faster and a much lower channel has been dug. Still very beautiful and the river sounds are now even more pronounced - but no longer placid and simply different. Photos posted are updated to give you sense of the change. Given drop in river the bank is now pretty steep. Not death defying or anything that ominous, but you just need to be careful when walking close to the edge. Best to access river at park below cabin vs. right below cabin. Cabin is not suitable for young children due to the proximity to the river and lack of deck child precautions in place.

Portland couple and their dog.
Courtney and Hillary Wilton purchased this cabin in 2004
Simple, very charming cabin, close to Portland and in the middle of Columbia Gorge recreational opportunities. We also like the Hood River vibe.
We love the Columbia Gorge and all it has to offer. We can't think of a better place to be on a summer evening than on the deck at the rivers edge after a day of paddling or hiking. And our golden retriever loves it even more than we do!
This is the perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the White Salmon River. We loved eating by candlelight on the screened in porch, reading on the deck, and watching the rafters during the day! This is a beautiful spot close to great hiking and biking trails, orchards and vineyards, and picturesque towns.
Spent two nights here in early September and enjoyed wonderful weather and peace and quite, lulled to sleep by the White Salmon River just below. A wonderful little cabin close to the Columbia River Gorge and the Mt. Adams wilderness. Very cozy.
Great little cabin. We loved eating and sleeping on the screen porch with the river rushing below. What a beautiful getaway!
A wonderful cabin located right on the White Salmon river with easy access to great outdoor activities, beautiful views, shopping and restaurants, etc. It's the perfect place for an active vacation as well as for spending time not doing a thing.
My wife and I spent a couple of days at the cabin on the river and we can't wait to go back in the winter.
This little cabin was a dream. The setting is beautiful and quiet. The cabin is rustic, but the photos here don't really do it full justice - it is quite charming. It had all the basic amenities and was well maintained. The owners gave us all the info we needed for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. We loved the screened porch, watching the rafters and kayakers float by, the books and board games, and the classic DVD's and videos. It is perfect for one or two people wanting peace and quiet and to enjoy outdoor activities. We particularly enjoyed the Husum Hills Golf Course just minutes away. The green fees were reasonable and the course uncrowded. It is very hilly (hence the name), so a cart is recommended unless you're ready for the ups and downs. A huge bonus of this cabin was that it is pet friendly. I loved having my dog with me on vacation. We were there in late July and early August and the weather was mostly perfect. There was only one night that was quite warm and the bedroom got uncomfortable for sleeping, but we slept well on the screened porch that night. This little cabin is a gem and there are many fun activities and restaurants within very short driving distance. Loved every minute of our stay and hope to return.
Here's what New York Times says in is '46 Places to Go in 2013' article: 'a white-water paddler's dream come true. A major dam removal in October to allow for fish passage means that the White Salmon River now runs all the way to the Columbia River, flowing freely from its glacial headwaters at Mount Adams for the first time in 100 years. Local outfitters like Wet Planet are expected to begin rafting and kayaking tours on the newly opened section of challenging Class IV rapids early this year. Conservationists are happy, too, as spawning chinook salmon and steelhead trout have already been spotted swimming upstream in the new habitat.' It's a very pretty and exciting river amongst other great features - i.e. Columbia Gorge, Mt. Hood, Mt Adams, Hood River, etc.

I am looking for someone that can work with Photoshop.
The idea is that I provide the person with a link to a Photoshop text tutorial and a text. The person will then write the text in the effect as given in the tutorial. Then the .PSD file and any other files that where needed will be send to me.
This needs to be done for multiple effects.
My question is what would be a reasonable price to pay for one text effect? I am aware that some take longer than others but what could I see as an average price?
Hello there,
Feel free to contact me via the contact form in my profile. Regarding the average price, it's hard to give you an exact number because it's like asking for average income of people all over the world . It'd be better if you have a specific budget for the job.
Best regards,
Im not sure if i am understand what is your purpose with this. Thats also affects the price.
