Testing the boundaries
The halls of Moody High School are crowded - more so than any time in the past five years.
Between classes, Moody's 1,966 students jam the hallways in a slow-moving churn to their next class. It's a scene that's played out at two other CCISD high schools - King and Carroll, both on the city's Southside.
At Miller High School, things are different. The high school with the lowest student enrollment in the district has plenty of space and lots of ambition to work toward greatness, but for now, student enrollment continues to drop.
This year the school experienced its most significant population drop during the past five years, falling from 1,321 in 2005 to 1,183 this year. Enrollment at Ray High School also is down, from 2,112 this time last year to 1,939 now.
The total number of students enrolled in CCISD high schools has decreased by 184 students compared with last year, but acting Superintendent Scott Elliff said continued population shifts to the city's Southside have resulted in larger numbers of students attending certain schools. The city's oldest schools, meanwhile, are losing enrollment rapidly.
Elliff said though student enrollment has increased in some schools, overcrowding isn't a district pandemic.
"Are we crowded? Yes," he said. "But we aren't in an overcrowding crisis. We aren't overcrowded and we aren't unsafe."
Elliff attributes the decrease in the overall high school population to having more choices when it comes to high school, including Flour Bluff High School and the private John Paul II High School.
Of the more than 100 students attending John Paul II High School, which opened in August with only a freshman class, the majority are from CCISD, John Paul II officials have said. Tuition at John Paul II is $4,000 annually.
Flour Bluff has received 85 transfer students from outside the Flour Bluff ISD this year, though district officials could not say how many came from CCISD. Out-of-district students there pay $1,300 in tuition a year.
"As people exercise that choice, we hope we can have as compelling of an academic program," Elliff said. "We want them to stay in our district and go to schools in their neighborhoods."
The district isn't without ideas for dealing with its high school population issues, Elliff said.
Moody High School
Moody is the district's smallest high school campus at about 231,700 square feet, yet this semester, the school is home to more students than Ray, the district's largest campus at 269,788 square feet.
Principal Conrado Garcia said the boost in Moody's enrollment during the past several years is largely because of the school's Health Science Academy, a magnet program for students interested in a health and science career.
About 1,966 students currently are enrolled at Moody, a 50-student increase from last year.
Students from across the district can apply to enroll in the Health Science Academy, but the school's five other academies, including the Arts and Humanities Academy, the Industrial Trades Academy and Business and Professionals Academy, are open only to students living within the school's attendance boundaries.
Garcia said the small, community-style learning environment is innovative and attractive to students from across the district.
Almost half of the 300 students in the Health Science Academy are from outside Moody's attendance district, Garcia said.
"Kids want to stay here, they want to come to our school," he said. "The community supports our work and as we get better, we are going to have even more students."
The district has not identified the attendance district around Moody as a high growth residential area, Elliff said.
But Garcia said students of families who have moved away from the district may return as the school continues to build its academies.
The increased number of students has Garcia concerned about space.
The school has eight traveling teachers who do not have an assigned classroom and teach in whichever classrooms are available during their class period.
With an expected addition of four more math teachers, Garcia said he expects the number of traveling teachers to grow.
This year the school was able to add another portable building that provided more classroom space. He said continuing to add portables likely is the way the school will handle its increasing population.
Elliff said the district will continue to assess the facility and population situations at Moody annually.
"As a school of choice, it's something we will have to look at," he said.
King High School
King continuously has been the district's biggest crowding headache.
For the past several years, the district's third-largest school has shown a steady increase in enrollment, straining the campus' shared facilities, such as the library and cafeteria.
About 2,500 students currently are enrolled at King, an increase of 35 students from last year, which is fewer than the 85-student increase the district had projected. Between the 2004-2005 school year and the 2005-2006 school year, the population increased by 81 students and by nine students the year before that.
Elliff attributes the increase to growth on the city's Southside, much of which lies within King's attendance boundaries.
Earlier this year, the CCISD school board heard one proposal to deal with the growth - converting neighboring Meadowbrook Elementary School into a freshman satellite campus. A committee of district and school staff, along with King parents, met this fall to discuss the situation and consider possible solutions.
The committee ruled out the Meadowbrook idea, Elliff said, instead choosing to recommend extra portable buildings. It wouldn't be a permanent fix. The school already has 15 portable classrooms, and space on the campus for more portables is limited.
New King Principal Minerva Abrego has been on the job just about two weeks and already has assessed the situation.
"It's extremely crowded," she said. "Security continues to be our primary focus with the number of kids we have here."
Abrego said district security staff are in the process of assessing the school's security cameras and looking at ways to beef up safety. Maintaining good crowd control often is difficult in tightly packed hallways, Elliff said.
Senior Stacy Hall and her brother Robert Hall, a junior, said sometimes the only way to make their way through the school's crowded halls is to force their way through.
"Sometime you just have to push a little," Robert said.
"As soon as the bell rings, the hallways are packed," Stacy said. "You can barely move around. Everyone is trying to get to class on time and it ends up taking a long time."
Carroll High School
Carroll, the district's second-largest campus, has the second-largest student enrollment. Along with King, the school lies in the middle of one of the city's fastest growing areas.
During the past five years, enrollment has fluctuated from a low of 2,297 in 2003-2004 to a high of 2,388 this year.
Carroll has been one of twoCCISD high schools to surpass the district's projected enrollment for the past two years. During the 2005-06 school year, enrollment at both Carroll and Moody exceeded district projections. The previous year, Carroll and Ray were the only schools to surpass the predictions. Elliff said Carroll has served a much larger student population in the past when most of the growth in the city was centered in the Carroll area as opposed to now, when the majority of development is in King's district.
Carroll Principal Steve VanMatre said the continued growth has strained the school's shared facilities, especially the cafeteria.
"Our smallest lunch shift has 700 kids and largest has about 1,000," VanMatre said. "By the time (students) go through the lunch line, they don't have a lot of time to eat."
VanMatre said he'd like to provide more space for his students and the opportunity for them to take a few minutes to relax before afternoon classes instead of rushing through lunch after waiting in a long line.
Enrollment also has affected the school's breezeways and restroom facilities - and its student-teacher ratios in math and science courses, two areas where the school is working to improve test scores, Van Matre said.
"That doesn't give us the best environment for teaching," VanMatre said, adding that some classes have as many as 35 students.
Ray High School
The student parking lots at Ray have more open spaces this year. The halls and classrooms are equally as spacious. That's because the number of students at the school has decreased by 173 students from last year.
Elliff said he couldn't pinpoint a reason for the decline, saying it could be a number of reasons.
Senior Denise DeLeon said she's noticed her classes getting smaller over the years. While better parking and shorter lunch lines are a benefit to the decreasing student body, Denise said there is one significant disadvantage.
"When classes are small like this, your class rank isn't as good," she said.
A smaller class means a student's chances of being in the top 10 percent of the class are smaller. In Texas, students ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating class automatically are eligible for admission into any public state university.
Ray Principal Steven Gonzales said the most significant disadvantage of the population decline is a cutback in state funding, which is based on student enrollment. The loss in funding has resulted in a loss of a counselor and three paraprofessional employees.
It could have impacted the school's instructional budget, but Gonzales said the school found a way to work around the cutbacks.
"We've looked at our funding mechanisms and we don't have a loss to what our kids and faculty have access to," he said. "We've found ways to supplement."
Gonzales said the smaller class size implies better interaction between teachers and students, which is a plus to the decrease.
If enrollment at Ray continues to decline, it may have an impact on the school's University Interscholastic League classification, which could drop to 4A. Though UIL reclassification is still two years away, Ray currently does not meet the 1,925 student enrollment cutoff for 5A classification that was used last year, when the UIL dropped Miller and Moody from 5A to 4A classification.
Elliff said the change is a possibility if trends continue. The UIL realigns divisions every two years.
The district already is beginning to look to Ray's future and is in the preliminary stages of exploring a concept that would bring an advanced academic program to the school called the International Baccalaureate Program, Elliff said.
The program would work with Ray's feeder pattern at Windsor Park Elementary and Baker Middle School, which serve students in the district's Gifted and Talented program, to provide a more challenging curriculum for students.
At the high school level, the emphasis would be on independent research and writing, theory of knowledge, and artistic and athletic pursuits in addition to community service. Because it's in the early discussion stages, there is no timetable of when the Baccalaureate Program could be implemented.
Miller High School
The district's oldest campus is its least populated and has been for years. Because of Miller's past academic performance, it has been labeled a Public Education Grant school. PEG is one of five accountability systems used to measure Texas public schools.
Schools where more than half of students fail one or more sections of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills are considered PEG schools. If a school is labeled PEG for two of the previous three years, school districts are obligated by law to inform parents of the status and parents are able to transfer their children out of the school.
Miller has been notifying parents of this choice several times a year for more than a year.
Miller also has failed to meet federal Adequate Yearly Progress accountability standards for four consecutive years. As a result, the school is in Stage 3 of the Title I Federal School Improvement Plan. Stage 3 also mandates the district to inform parents of the school's academic ranking and the option of transferring their students to a different school.
Elliff said the letters the school must send home to parents cause confusion and can be discouraging to parents, impacting the school's enrollment.
"Students are choosing to go elsewhere," Elliff said.
This year 43 students transferred from Miller to Moody and 24 transferred to Ray under the PEG option. Four transferred to Moody and five to Ray under the AYP provision, according to district records.
But Elliff said the district is in the middle of applying for a magnet grant for Miller and its feeder middle schools. The $4 million grant is the first step in the district's approach to redesigning Miller, another mandate in Stage 3 of the federal improvement plan.
Another reason for Miller's decreasing numbers is the lack of significant residential growth in the city's Northside and Westside, which are included in the school's attendance boundary.
Elliff said he hopes the magnet grant could be the catalyst for change.
Looking to the future
The CCISD Board of Trustees has been searching for solutions to the district's facility needs and how population shifts affect those needs. In 2004, the district put together a $230 million bond package that would have put $195 million into construction of new schools and renovation and upgrading for existing schools, plus $35 million for a new high school.
Voters rejected both the $195 million proposition and the $35 million proposition for a new Southside high school.
Before the bond and after, the board discussed redrawing the district's high school attendance boundaries to alleviate crowding at some schools.
However, Miller's classification as a Public Education Grant school, which brought the option to transfer, now makes redrawing boundaries less attractive, Elliff said.
If boundaries were redrawn, students whose new school would be Miller would have the option of transferring right back out of the school.
The new CCISD school board already is exploring its options. At a goal-setting meeting Friday, the trustees discussed short- and long-term goals. The board briefly touched on the problems associated with the Southside population shift and agreed they would have to address it soon.
"We can't wait until next year," said Vice President Bill Clark. "We are already there."

The Indianpolis Colts organization has done a tremendous job of showing support for head coach Chuck Pagano since he was diagnosed with leukemia, and that continued over the weekend when a member of the cheerleading squad agreed to join the movement. In a light-hearted video that was featured on Colts.com, a cheerleader named Megan M. agreed to shave her head if the Colts' mascot, Blue, can raise $10,000 for leukemia research. Blue is now asking fans to visit www.colts.com/chuckstrong to make a donation to the CHUCKSTRONG fund. The mascot has until Sunday, November 25 to raise the money. If he reaches his goal, Megan will shave her head at the Colts vs. Bills game. As we showed you last week, more than two dozen Colts players have shaved their heads to show their support for Pagano. Guys can pull off the shaved head look and most of them had short hair to begin with, so it won't take the players nearly as long to look like their old selves as it would for Megan. Her offer is just another example of how selfless the entire organization has been in showing their support for their head coach and cancer research. H/T SI Hot Clicks

"Maeve Binchy, "the grand story teller,"* returns with a cast of characters you will never forget when they all spend a winter week together on holiday at Stone House, a restful inn by the sea... Stoneyville is a small town on the coast of Ireland whereall the families know each other. When Chicky decides to take an old decaying mansion, Stone House, and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, the town thinks she is crazy. She is helped by Rigger (a bad boy turned good who is handy around the place) and her niece Orla (a whiz at business). Finally the first week of paying guests arrive: John, the American movie star thinks he has arrived incognito; Winnie and Lillian, forced into taking a holiday together; Nuala and Henry, husband and wife , both doctors who have been shaken by seeing too much death; Anders, the Swedish boy, hates his father's business, but has a real talent for music; Miss Nell Howe, a retired school teacher, who criticizes everything and leaves a day early, much to everyone's relief; the Walls who have entered in 200 contests (and won everything from a microwave oven to velvet curtains, including the week at Stone House); and Freda , the psychic who is afraid of her own visions. You will laugh and cry as you spend the week with this odd group who share their secrets and might even have some of their dreams come true. "--

Considering a new pricing program? Study this case history first
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: More and more utilities (and regulators) are starting to sniff around the idea of dynamic pricing. But before you move forward, study this PG&E case study from the Association for Demand Response and Smart Grid (ADS). PG&E has been a true early pioneer, with all the scars and scratches that come from blazing a trail. So why not grab their lessons learned? The four learnings highlighted in the release below are not particularly earthshaking, but there are more specifics in the case study itself.
ADS is famous for two things: 1) an annual National Town Meeting on demand response and 2) changing its name every few years. So you'd better grab the case study at the link below before the name and the website change again. - By Jesse Berst
New utility case study released by the Association for Demand Response & Smart Grid
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association for Demand Response & Smart Grid (ADS) released a new case study that examines engaging customers around a critical peak pricing program. The case study is based on interviews with employees of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) about the utility's "SmartRateâ"¢" program, which began in 2008 and now enrolls 100,000 customers in critical peak pricing. The narrative-style case study is the third in an ADS series that goes behind the scenes to examine the goals, reasoning and processes used to design and evaluate program offerings and tools.
"This case study highlights a trend where more and more utilities are offering demand response and time-based pricing programs to their customers" said Dan Delurey, Executive Director of ADS. "As these programs become increasingly available, they become another tool that adds to traditional energy efficiency offerings to customers. Offering both kinds of programs in a unified way is a key consideration for utilities, and we will be examining that very topic at the upcoming National Summit on Integrating Energy Efficiency and Smart Grid on October 15-16."
"Like the previous case studies released by ADS, the case study of the PG&E SmartRate program uses interviews to provide an inside view of implementing a demand response program," said Delurey. "You get to hear from PG&E personnel not just what their conclusions are, but how they got there, with all of the starts, stops and course changes along the way. We hope that practitioners and policymakers will use this to see what lessons were learned by PG&E and how they might be applied to their own work."
The case study can be found on the ADS website at www.demandresponsesmartgrid.org/CaseStudies.

Letters to the Editor: 06.03.07
Just set values
Response to "Count up costs" (May 29) by Adelia G. Valdes: Many taxpayers are still uncertain regarding the workings of the Texas property tax system, its "players" and processes. Ms. Valdes says in her letter, "All the profit should have been distributed to cover the increases in taxes proposed by the Appraisal District," and, "What I dread is the Appraisal District getting their way to almost double my taxes."
The fact is that the Appraisal District does not propose, set or assess increases or decreases in taxes, nor collect taxes. The Appraisal District simply appraises property for tax purposes at market value in accordance with the Texas Constitution and the property tax code.
Only governmental units such as the cities, counties, school districts, etc., have taxing authority and are directly accountable for increases or decreases in taxes, i.e., as their budgets rise, so rise the amount of taxes collected from property owners.
Vic Menard
(Taxpayer Liaison Officer,
Nueces County Appraisal District)
Work cut out
I take this opportunity to congratulate the members of the Corpus Christi City Council on their recent election. They have accepted the responsibility of public office at a critical time in the history of our city. Each council member was elected on a platform that included growth for our city. Clearly, this council understands the urgency of establishing policies that will result in creating jobs and growing our economy through private capital investment.
Corpus Christi can no longer afford to have an unemployment rate higher than the state and national averages. Today, our challenge is to work pro-actively with this new council to help them in their tasks that lie ahead. They deserve our support and help.
As president of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, I look forward to working with each member of this Council as we seek a brighter and productive future for our city by putting Corpus Christi first.
Terry H. Carter
(President and CEO)

Unfriendly neighbor
When H-E-B Plus moved into my neighborhood, no attention was given to traffic patterns, noise levels, or all the trash blowing into residential yards surrounding the store. The traffic in the area is a fiasco, trucks honk to have the doors opened for deliveries, and I have to go around every day retrieving balloons and trash bags blowing from their store into my yard. I know several places in the nearby shopping center had half of the access to their business blocked off by this monopoly.
The people who work in the H-E-B Plus are extremely nice. The people in San Antonio who are running the monopoly are another story.

Scaredy-cat party
Re: A proposed name change for the Democratic Party. Armed with a clear mandate from us, and freshly given control of Congress, the Democrats aren't showing much chutzpah. Democrats are proving to be a bunch of wienies. Why show fear or much respect to a lame duck and a man regarded by many as a fool and a disgrace to this land?
Let's get back to the name change. Instead of Democratic Party, how about the Party of Wienies or The Wienie Party? Their new slogan could go like this, "We're the Wienie Party, we won't stand up for anything, we won't stand up to anybody, we don't stand for anything, join us, we're the Wienie Party."
Can you believe I'm still a Democrat?

Watch out for bikes
I enjoyed your article on the trouble bicyclists are having on their favorite alternate route along Santa Fe Street (Troubleshooter, May 28). First, let me say that I am not the person who is flipping water valve covers, but sometimes I wish I were.
The incident I am still upset over happened about two months ago when a friend of mine was driving one of my cars on Santa Fe at the intersection with Ayers. It was near noon that day so there was a lot of traffic and she was the first in a long line of people waiting for the light in the southbound lane when a woman crossed late, holding up cars on the green light. That's not so uncommon either, as jaywalking is more popular in Corpus Christi than on Leno.
But what made matters worse was a young man on one of those bicycles you mentioned, who started off in the middle of the right-hand lane, and then suddenly stopped without any warning or making a proper signal set off a chain-reaction of cars slamming into the backs of each other. People behind the first car said they could not even see that there was a bicyclist in the street. He just rode on his way down Santa Fe looking for those inverted valve caps, I reckon. We tell our kids not to ride their bikes in the street, but are willing to let others do it and cause traffic accidents as motorists try to avoid hitting them. Find the solution for that.

The lie of gas prices
Wow! The oil conglomerates are trying their best to convince the American people they must learn to pay higher gasoline prices if they want the freedom to drive their vehicles.
The philosophy of the oil conglomerates is that if they keep up the pressure, the American people will quit complaining and learn to accept higher gasoline prices. This was the case in the 1970s when the gasoline prices suddenly increased tremendously. The oil conglomerates held their ground and eventually the American people quit their resistance. The gasoline prices remained high, and within time, people learned to accept them.
Today, they are at the same game. One thing they know for sure, the people need the gasoline.
The solution to this gouging of prices is in the discipline of buying gasoline. The discipline in our driving will help. Boycotting will help somewhat, but will hurt the small business man. Most of all, write members of Congress and get them to apply pressure to the oil conglomerates.
It is so sad that the American people are led to believe there will be a national projected average gasoline price of $3.10. The Energy Information Agency keeps working on the negative angle of rising prices. In their own repetitious manner, they feed the American people with the ever menacing high prices.
America, do not believe the lie.

Bumpy ride
Any time I drive the Corpus Christi streets, I worry about the wear and tear on my car. There are so many potholes. Even the ones that have been patched are bumpy. The street foreman needs to introduce the workers to a screed board, and show them how to use it.
Also, the manhole covers are all lower or higher than the street. This makes driving unpleasant and hard on the tires and the front wheel drive mechanism. There should be no problem making them level with the street's surface.
Ben Oliver
In two languages
Many Corpus Christi citizens have no problem enjoying every portion of the paper whether it is written in English or in Spanish because they are bilingual. Anyone who has trouble reading the paper because of a language barrier might consider embarking on a course of study. It is good for the brain and good for the community. Plus, you can keep up with the telenovelas and the soaps. Buena Suerte!
Chimene Burnett
Questionable evidence
As a dismayed observer of Ricardo Villa's trial as well as a friend of the Villa family, I wish to present some of my concerns with the trial and verdict. Besides the accuser, did anyone testify who could actually claim witnessing the alleged crime? Was any DNA evidence presented? Wasn't this a case of "he said, he said" or a matter of the accuser's word against the defendant's?
The young accuser's psychological counselors gave testimony that came directly from the so-called victim, so isn't this also "hearsay" and not direct knowledge? Is it possible that the young man lied, embellished his story of the alleged crime or remembered inaccurately the event which occurred 13 years ago? After all, it happened to a 10-year-old and was recalled by a man in his 20s. Is it possible that the D.A. has been intent on "getting" Villa since the beginning? What if the D.A.'s pursuit to "get" Villa is politically motivated? D.A.s are elected officials, aren't they?
The very fact that these questions exist provides a disturbing picture of our judicial system. Without sincere consideration of reasonable doubt, the conviction of innocent people is too easy. Would you want to be convicted on the basis of evidence that could arouse doubt?

Revamp Your Kitchen With Ready To Assemble Kitchen Cabinets
RTA cabinets are an affordable way to improve your kitchen décor. Of course, you could always employ a carpenter to create a bespoke set of cabinets for you, spend thousands of dollars, and patiently wait for months until they are finished. Or, perhaps you could go to one of the big-chained home improvement stores, order from their pre-assembled collection, wait for weeks for delivery, pay untold shipping and higher price, all for particleboard cabinets.
On the other hand, you could choose RTA kitchen cabinets and take pleasure in the identical look and quality construction in a shorter time for a lot less money. The trick is not to be fooled by the stigma surrounding "ready to assemble" cabinets.
Ready to assemble kitchen cabinets and "cheaply made" are not synonymous. It's quite the opposite. Today's RTA cabinets incorporate the identical high-quality materials, hardware, and fabrication as custom-built cabinets. In fact, they are so comparable; when people step into your kitchen, they won't be able to tell the difference!
The advantages of ready to assemble cabinets are amazing! For example, they come in a broad range of industry standard-sizes, and a complete line of colors, designs, and finishes to suit your particular kitchen décor. Due to the elimination of the cost for assembly, RTA cabinets will save you a huge amount of money over the custom-built variety. Moreover, ready to assemble kitchen cabinets allows you to become a hands-on part of the redecorating of your kitchen since all you need is a hammer and screwdriver to instantly rework the look of your kitchen!
It's your time and money at stake, so why spend it on a time-consuming and expensive kitchen revamp when you could easily have your dream cabinets for much less money and the same quality in much less time? Ready to assemble kitchen cabinets are an affordable means of giving your kitchen a boost in a shorter amount of time, but with the same results as the more expensive variety.

It was a slow burn.
I was having a great time hitting with my good friend one Saturday afternoon.
We were ripping cross court forehands, down the line backhands, and having so much fun doing it.
Well, that day STARTED very fun.
It ended a very different way.
It came time, like it usually does, to play a set.
Isn't it interesting how there can be a…

The Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs have given the go-ahead for the cull to stop the spread of bovine tuberculosis.
Farmers claim badgers are spreading the disease. The cull could go ahead in a matter of weeks.
The musician, the founder of wildlife charity Save Me, said the cull was unlikely to address the TB problem saying the "cull was not science based".
"Lord Krebs [who led a nine-year study into the effect of badger culling on rates of tuberculosis in cattle] has just done an interview where he said this is crazy and unlikely to do any good for the farmers.
"So don't listen to me, don't believe a rock star. All the scientists in the field are saying this is not going to work. But the government is insisting on pressing ahead," said May.
"Vaccination is the long term cure. Vaccination is only thing that can produce herd immunity. Culling is very likely to make the situation worse."

Rilakkuma FREE bath salts
Lawson has a promotion on at the moment giving away free packets of Rilakkuma bath salts when you buy some candy. Rilakkuma was created by San-x 5 years ago in 2003, and supposedly was created with the idea of getting Japanese office workers to relax more. The bath salt connection would certainly seem to fit in to that idea. Here are the bath salt package designs. As always with Japanese characters, very cute.
For those who want to get to know Rilakkuma better and stay with him and friends, Royal Park Hotel have a Rilakkuma themed room you can stay in. There is a great article about this at CScout
and here is the pack of candy I bought
As the tag line says "Everyday life with those things you like"
and for good measure here is the pack of
Potato Chips, I mean Rice Chips that I bought. This is a new product out and the taste wasnt bad, but the look of the chips might need a little more work.
Here is the link to Niigata Chips in Japanese. The chips come in 4 flavours, curry, light, seaweed and soya sauce.

It was Dougherty, working at the time for the Dayton Daily News, who broke the news that put the Keating Five scandal on the map.
And, since the 1980s, Dayton has held dramatic reenactments of the trial.
The weird thing, really, is that Dayton began to grow into the role which history had assigned it.


text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN/AP) - On Monday, a State Supreme Court Judge decided to allow the ridesharing app Lyft to continue to operate in Western New York. Authorities had alleged that Lyft began operating in Buffalo and Rochester without authorizations in April is currently violating various licensing and insurance laws. What exactly is Lyft? Co-Founder John Zimmer shared his vision with CBS News. "You can imagine a future where you can step out of your house, request a Lyft, pick up someone else who's going to the same office as you. You get there for a few bucks. Basically, we're rebuilding public transportation by the people, for the people with a system that is needed today." "We connect riders with drivers for safe, affordable, reliable transportation," said Taylor Bennet of Uber, a similar ridesharing app. "There are opportunities for riders to, at the click of a button, have on demand transportation anywhere, anytime." Bennett says that one navigating local licensing and insurance laws can be one of the major hurdles for ridesharing programs. "In a lot of these cities, a lot of these transportation regulations were developed in a time when smartphones and mobile apps just simply weren't imagined, so they're antiquated and they don't apply to technology companies like Uber that offer an innovative solution." The State Supreme Court's Decision means Lyft has to put off it's New York City launch, but will continue to operate in Buffalo, where Uber says it will look to expand to in the future.

Product description
Uranium is a common element in the earth's crust and the only naturally occurring mineral with the power to end all life on the planet. After World War II, it reshaped the global order whoever could master uranium could master the world. Marie Curie gave us hope that uranium would be a miracle panacea, but the Manhattan Project gave us reason to believe that civilization would end with apocalypse. Slave labor camps in Africa and Eastern Europe were built around mine shafts, and America would knowingly send more than 600 uranium miners to their graves in the name of national security. Fortunes have been made from this yellow dirt; massive energy grids have been run from it. Fear of it panicked the American people into supporting a questionable war with Iraq, and its specter threatens to create another conflict in Iran. Now, some are hoping it can help avoid a global warming catastrophe. In "Uranium," Tom Zoellner takes readers around the globe in this intriguing look at the mineral that can sustain life or destroy it."

Is There Life After Waldorf: Alumni Panel Discussion
Friday, January 7, 7:00 p.m., Community Hall
Is There Life After Waldorf? On Friday, January 7, meet four fascinating Alums from Waldorf high schools across the Northeast as they relate how Waldorf education made a difference in their lives. By popular demand, Dr. Trevor Braden, a veteran our last Panel Evening two years ago and graduate of Garden City Waldorf School in Long Island, NY, is back! He will be joined by Leila Forman, Theodore Groh, and Brooke Adams, who submitted brief autobiographical sketches below. The evening begins at 7 p.m. in the Community Hall, and any current or prospective parents and students are invited. Bring along any friends who want to know more about Waldorf high school education!
Theodore Groh was born and raised on a organic/biodynamic farm in Wilton New Hampshire and attended Pine Hill Waldorf School, and High Mowing Waldorf high school. Theodore just finished a run for the New Hampshire State Legislature, and is currently pursuing a degree in Political Science from Saint Anselms College in Manchester New Hampshire.
Brooke Dennee-Sommers attended Lake Champlain Waldorf School in Shelburne, Vermont from pre-school ("morning garden") through eighth grade and High Mowing School in Wilton, New Hampshire for eleventh and twelfth grade. Brooke currently works as a project manager for a health research consulting company in Boston, Massachusetts.
Leila Forman attended Green Meadow Waldorf School in Chestnut Ridge, NY from 6th grade through senior year of high school. She loved her experience in the Waldorf school and felt like it was her second home. So much so, in fact, that after graduating from college with a degree in French Literature she decided to return and spent a year on the faculty teaching French to 10th-12th graders.

Such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to overall demand for, and pricing of, the Company's products; the size and timing of orders; the Company's ability to successfully execute the large subsea and drilling systems projects it has been awarded; the possibility of cancellations of orders; changes in the price of (and demand for) oil and gas in both domestic and international markets; raw material costs and availability; and variations in global economic activity. In particular, current and projected oil and gas prices historically have generally directly affected customers' spending levels and their related purchases of the Company's products and services. Additionally, changes in oil and gas price expectations may impact the Company's financial results due to changes it may make in its cost structure, staffing or spending levels.Because the information herein is based solely on data currently available, it is subject to change as a result of changes in conditions over which the Company has no control or influence, and should not therefore be viewed as assurance regarding the Company's future performance. Additionally, the Company is not obligated to make public indication of such changes unless required under applicable disclosure rules and regulations.Website: www.c-a-m.comSOURCE CameronFor further information: Jeff Altamari, Vice President, Investor Relations of Cameron, +1-713-513-3344
