Oklahoma's lowest performing schools split $36.9M in federal grants
"Dr. Stearns has hit the ground running," said Cindy Schmidt, Oklahoma City Public Schools chief academic officer. "He still has some openings, and we are still working on filling those."
The district used a federal grant for improving teacher quality to offer $1,500 signing bonuses for new teachers who commit to teach at Grant for at least three years.
Betsy Mabry said she met two teachers who were moving to Grant next year.
"They are very excited," Mabry said. "They have hearts to turn this school around."
Garrett said it was important to her that the removed teachers were not left out in the cold. She said she was relieved that teachers were offered positions within the district or are now full-time substitutes.
Pending approval from teachers unions and the school board, all three Oklahoma City Public Schools are using a portion of the money to extend the school days for students by 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Douglass Middle School will add 18 school days and F.D. Moon will add 15 school days only for those students in need of remediation.
Tulsa Public Schools and Crutcho Public Schools also included plans to extend school days at their underperforming schools.
Garrett applauded the increased learning time as a key to improving the state's educational system.
"We talk a lot about time and time to learn and we know that's probably key," Garrett said.
Oklahoma City grant applications
These are some of the most significant reforms proposed in the Oklahoma City grants proposal for $12.1 million, and those that will affect students and teachers at the three schools. Some proposals are still awaiting approval by the district school board or teacher's union.
Douglass Middle School, $3.08M
• 30 minutes longer school day (awaiting approval).
• 18 extra days of school (awaiting approval).
• A continuous learning calendar that shortens summer and lengthens breaks.
• Reading and math teachers will receive $50 per student who scores proficient or advanced on the CRT (awaiting approval).
• $6,000 bonus for teachers if goals are met for reading and math standardized tests (awaiting approval).
• $3,000 bonus for teachers who meet the 98 percent teacher attendance rate (awaiting approval).
F.D. Moon Academy, $3.96M
• New principal Marionette Gibson was assigned.
• 60 minutes longer school day (awaiting approval).
• 15 extra days of school for students in need of remediation (awaiting approval).
• $50 bonuses per student proficient or advanced on standardized tests for reading, math and special education teachers (awaiting approval).
• $6,000 bonuses for each teacher if goals are met for reading and math standardized tests (awaiting approval).
U.S. Grant High School, $5.09M
• 60 minutes longer school day from 7:40 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. (awaiting approval).
• $1,500 signing bonus for teachers signing 3-year contracts.
• $1,500 annual bonus for teachers each year goals in math and reading tests are met (awaiting approval).
• Spanish language courses for all teachers for six weeks each semester.

Perhaps the most frequently used rechargeable batteries on the market nowadays – Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) can be found also in our offer.
From the beginning of electronics, the world searches for an "ideal" rechargeable battery. So far such a battery doesn´t exist (maybe supercapacitors in the future), but Li-Po (Li-Pol) cells are quite near to an ideal in some aspects.
Very low self-discharge (approx. 5% / month), high voltage of a cell (3,7-3,8V average), high energy density and a low weight, considerably stable discharge voltage and a possibility to recharge anytime are one of the main advantages of Li-Po cells. Another benefits are advantageous flat shape, high variability in dimensions and a long lifetime. No wonder, that Li-Po cells have become no. 1 in consumer electronics, hand tools and in many industrial devices.
Perhaps the only drawback of these cells is their lower chemical stability at overcharging (in a corner case ending up with a fire). But that´s the case which is practically eliminated at a common operation with a suitable charging circuit (chip or a charger intended for Li-Po).
Basic principle at usage is not to exceed approx. 4.25V charging voltage and the battery is almost discharged at a voltage below approx. 3.0V (2.75V). On the very end of a discharge cycle, the inner resistance slightly increases, what can cause a slight heating of a battery at higher currents – it is a normal behavior. Charging is usually based on a method constant voltage/ limited current. In principle it´s possible to use the same chargers and charging circuits for Li-Ion as well as Li-Po cells.
At a usual usage and discharging to say 20-80%, Li-Po cells will reward you by a reliable operation and a long lifetime. Flat shape is ideal for various handheld equipment, as well for usage in flat enclosures. In respect to a low self-discharge it´s possible to use Li-Po cells even as a backup energy source.
In our offer can be found several several Li-Po types from company EEMB with a capacity of 130 mAh to 2000 mAh. Exact list of available types and datasheets can be found below this article. Upon request, we´re able to provide you also many other types.

Jianan Li made this LiPo Booster project, that is available at Github:
LiPo Booster is a breadboard-friendly boost converter board based on the TPS61230 IC from Texus Instrument. It has an output voltage of 5V, and is designed to be used with a single cell LiPo battery.

Rechargeable batteries save us a lot of money but take a lot of time. What if you could recharge a battery in seconds instead of hours?
Rechargeable batteries save us a lot of money these days but for the savings, we give up some of our time, waiting for them to recharge. What if though. What if there was a rechargeable battery that took seconds to recharge instead of hours? That is exactly what I've invented and I need your help to bring this to the masses and show the world that we no longer need to waste hours of or lives waiting for a battery to charge.
With the leaps and bounds being made today with capacitors, they've gone from being able to store a tiny potential of energy to now, being able to store enough energy to be considered a power source. These high Farad capacitors are known as super capacitors and aside from providing electricity for an extended period of time, they can also be charged very quickly. Recently, there's been another development, combining the technology of super capacitors with lithium ion batteries. The usually downside to super capacitors from batteries is that they don't provide electricity for nearly as long. However, with the advent of the lithium ion capacitor, that is quickly changing.

Freescale Semiconductor introduced the MM9Z1J638, AEC-Q100 qualified intelligent battery sensors with three measurement channels, a 16/32-bit MCU and a CAN protocol module in one 7 x 7 mm 48-pin QFN package.
The market this product serves is quite diversified with 12 V lead acid batteries, 14 V Li-Ion batteries, Lead acid multi-batteries, HV battery junction box, Energy Storage Systems (ESS), Uninterrupted Power Systems (UPS) and industrial automation.
Today's trends in the battery market include complex battery algorithms, higher communication data rates with the CAN bus, better safety for Li-Ion batteries and increased mission-critical dependence on energy availability.
Start-stop requirements, together with others such as regenerative braking and intelligent alternator control, are driving demand for more precise sensing of the battery's state to provide early failure warnings.

Conventional lithium-ion batteries rely on anodes made of graphite, but it is widely believed that the performance of this material has reached its zenith, prompting researchers to look at possible replacements. Much of the focus has been on nanoscale silicon, but it remains difficult to produce in large quantities and usually degrades quickly. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have overcome these problems by developing a lithium-ion battery anode using sand.

By Sean Michael Ragan:
The Joule Thief (Wikipedia) is a well-known "instant gratification" hobby circuit that uses just a handful of components to pull off a pretty impressive parlor trick — using a single 1.5V battery, the Joule Thief can light a high-voltage blue or white LED that normally requires 3.5V or greater to turn on. Even more impressive, it can do so using a battery that is so drained of energy as to be counted "dead" for almost all other purposes. I have not measured this value myself, but it is commonly claimed that a Joule Thief can light a white LED from a battery with an open-circuit voltage as low as 0.6.

1,6V rechargeable batteries experience "rebirth" and bring several advantages in comparison to 1,2V NiCd accumulators
Experts in electrotechnics might say, that these are a long-time known batteries invented already by Edison thus being no novelty at all. That´s true but in contrast to older tyes is in technological advance of electrolyte and electrodes so as to reach a substantially higher lifetime that few decades ago.
So what´s interesting about these rechargeable batteries? By one sentence, NiZn cell has an output voltage of approx. 1.65V, what´s about 0.4V more than NiMH/ NiCd cells.
At the same time they´re able to provide a high current, similarly like NiCd/ NiMH cells, that´s why they´re also usable in devices with high current demands (conductivity of Zinc is about 15% than Cd). NiZn cells are easily recyclable and they´re very environmentally friendly. Another benefits:
- energy density of NiZn cells is about a third higher than that of NiCd cells (Wh/kg and also Wh/liter).
- higher voltage (1,6-1,8V) enables to reach a higher voltage of "battery-packs" with a lower count of cells
- lifetime is comparable with NiCd cells
- no memory effect, trouble-free recharge to 100%
- flat discharging characteristics, average voltage aprox. 1,6-1,7V
It is recommended to recharge NiZn cells by C/4 to 1C current (i.e. for example 500 mA to 2000 mA for a 2000mAh cell) while observing a max. voltage of 1.9V/ cell. It´s not recommended to leave cells at a so called "trickle charging" as overcharging might decrease lifetime of cells. Naturally, like in case of almost all rechargeable batteries, the highest lifetime can be reached at operation on a partial discharge (not to a deep discharge). It´s worth to say, that NiZn are not an ideal replacement into devices with a very small power consumption ( e-g- remote controllers), where still win primary alkaline cells.
In our offer can be found NiZn cells themselves: 4AA2500mWh1.6V BP4 and 4AAA900mWh1.6V BP4 as well as a set – charger + cells (4xAA+4xAAA) NizN Charger + Accu. This charger charges by 500 mA current (AA/AAA) and monitors each slot individually. During recharging a LED at agiven slot blinks slowly (1x/s) and after finishing of recharge it shines continuously. In case of a faulty cell it blinks quickly (4x/s).

By Colin Jeffrey:
We literally live in a wired world, with wires snaking hither and yon transmitting electricity and data. Many are visible, while many more are hidden in the walls of buildings, the panels of cars, and the fuselage of aircraft. Now, imagine; what if we were able to turn each and every one of these into a battery that not only transmitted electricity but stored it too? Well, two researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) imagined that too, and came up with a way to use nano-technology to make wires with supercapacitance that may eventually also double as batteries.

Unconference Sessions
The OW2 unconference sessions are facilitated, participant-driven conference sessions centered on a theme or purpose relating to the OW2 community.
No one ever just "attends" an unconference. The spirit of it is that we are all equal, able to share our knowledge or help in any which way we feel will best serve the community. Instead of passive listening, all attendees and organizers are encouraged to become participants, with discussion leaders providing moderation and structure for attendees.
Attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one, or otherwise volunteer / contribute in some way to support the event. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall. The people present at the event will select the demos or presentations they want to see. Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can't be present.
Unconferences work because everyone attending wants the same outcome: to learn more and share with their peers.

Laboring on the roads, not in the office
Happy Labor Day weekend! Just a quick report of all your construction for the coming week, including a complete closure of the Pike eastbound to worry about - and a Labor Day schedule is included for all MBTA services.
I've been working on a photo gallery about the basics of Boston traffic for boston.com, and that should be up sometime next week. I'm excited to share it with you.
MBTA Matters
Thankfully all construction projects have been suspended for the holiday weekend, so you should have a busing-free commute on the T. However, when it comes to Labor Day, there's some schedule switch-ups you should know about:
- All subway lines (Red, Green, Blue, Orange) and the Silver Line will operate on a Sunday schedule.
- All buses will operate on a Sunday schedule except for Express buses, which will not run.
- All commuter rail lines will operate on a Sunday schedule except for the Fairmount, Greenbush, Needham and Kingston/Plymouth lines, which will not be running.
- The RIDE will run on a Sunday schedule.
- Commuter boat service will operate on a weekend schedule except for the F1 boat (Hingham), which will not be running at all.
Don't forget that the Quincy Center parking garage on the Red Line is still closed indefinitely due to structural issues. You can use the garages at Braintree Station or Quincy Adams as alternates.
You'll find slowdowns here... (except on Labor Day! All non-essential construction has been suspended for the holiday.)
++ COMPLETE CLOSURE ++ of the Mass Pike Eastbound through the Ted Williams Tunnel, Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Follow detours.
Route 3 southbound from the Braintree Split past the Burgin Parkway (Exit 19), Quincy: watch for lane shifts and ongoing paving work through most weekday middays and overnights. Expect heavy delays.
495 northbound between Boston Road, Westford (Exit 32 to Woburn Street, Lowell (Exit 37): ongoing lane stripping and paving operations in the left lane. Watch for several lane shifts in place.
Route 128 in both directions, between Route 109 (Exit 16) and Route 135 (Exit 17), Dedham: ongoing road widening project blocks the left lane through most weekday middays and overnights. Expect significant delays and possible blockages of the active breakdown lane.
Route 128 in both directions, between Route 38, Woburn (Exit 35) and Route 3, Burlington (Exits 32 A/B): left lane is closed for ongoing median work. Lane restrictions are in place. Expect heavy delays.
Route 1 Northbound between Main Street and Noah's Motors, Saugus: right lanes are closed weekday nights between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. for water main installation.
North Harvard Street over the Larz Anderson Bridge, Allston-Cambridge: Continual lane closures are in effect in both directions for bridge reconstruction work. No left turn onto Memorial Drive from JFK Street.
Tobin Bridge in both directions: Watch for continual lane closures as DOT crews continue to paint the bridge. These will be in effect until November. Expect heavier traffic during rush hours.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A contract officially bringing the Braves' AAA farm team to Gwinnett was signed Tuesday.The 30-page contract, with an additional 41 pages of exhibits including stadium schematics and insurance information, deals with everything from naming rights for the stadium to who is required to mow the lawn. After the contract was signed by representatives from the Braves, the county and the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau, the county closed on the $5 million, 12-acre stadium site and sold $33 million worth of bonds to fund the project. Lee Tucker, an attorney negotiating the contract and convention and visitors bureau Chairman Richard Tucker's son, said he was pleased with the end result. "I think it's a fair deal," he said. "We negotiated very hard." One of the early points of contention, whether the Braves could summarily dismiss some potential companies from naming the stadium, was worked out after much discussion, Lee Tucker said. The contract says that while the team has the right to review and approve the stadium name, that approval will not be "unreasonably withheld." The bureau will work "in good faith" regarding the naming rights, it says. "We understand the Braves' sensitivity with certain sponsors," Lee Tucker said. "Nobody's definitively off the table." The bureau will have until Aug. 31, 2009, to secure naming rights on its own, after which the Braves will step in to help. If the bureau is able to secure a name, the Braves will get the first $350,000 of that agreement and Gwinnett will get the rest. If the team's help is required, both the Braves and the bureau will get $350,000 - with the Braves getting the first $350,000, if the total is less than $700,000 - then the two groups will split the rest of the proceeds. The Braves will pay $250,000 a year to use the stadium, plus $1 for each ticket sold; at least $400,000 additionally. The team will get all money from concessions and selling signs around the facility. The team will operate the parking lot and will split revenues with the convention and visitors bureau. The county will be permitted to have 10 events at the stadium each year. The contract says the stadium should be ready for use by March 1, 2009, with the first games able to start April 1. If the stadium is not finished by March 20, the bureau is responsible for finding another venue where the team can play. The Braves will be the exclusive tenants of the stadium through 2038, although the team can terminate the contract after the 2023 baseball season if there are disagreements about maintenance. The contract also says that both the bureau and the Braves will work to implement water conservation infrastructure. And while the bureau is responsible for big projects like scoreboards and escalators, the Braves will take care of the lawn on the stadium on Buford Drive, between Old Peachtree Road and Rock Springs Road. Lee Tucker said a related mixed-use development is still in the planning stages, but no requests for regional review have been made yet. Senior Writer Camie Young contributed to this article.

I have researched this product for months since I bought a Honda Invertor which was great and light, but 2000w max, which overloaded on many startups. This purchase was partially inspired by u tube videos, but when the store said buy it if you dont like it for whatever reason return it. I couldnt loose! SO I took it home added oil and gas, fired it up, gentle pull, and really quiet! Then I hooked my killawatt amp and watt meter to it and started powering up stuff, first a 15amp dril no problem quickly it reved up and drill worked fine even under load. Then the test that killed most Hondas, 1800w Heater, Didnt even phase it! Finally I put a window unit AC on it, 15amp, with a surge to 18amp, and it worked perfect, after running I ran a drill 5.5amp and no problems, really like this, I wanted to test big items for what ifs, this is for our office computers and sensitive electronics but if it can handle the rest its just icing on the cake!

It just so happens I work in a large shop which repairs military generators. After buying this generator, I could not wait until I could put this inverter generator on a calibrated load bank. The generator is rated at 2200 watts with a peak of 2500. The little generator just will not do it. It will hold a little over 1900 watts for long periods, and kick the over load light on around its peak of 2100 watts. Again,the equipment we tested this with is calibrated yearly. It seems to put out very clean power to run your electronics. Another draw back to the unit is the generator is wire to stay in the econ mode which means the engine will slow down without a load. This is not always a bad thing because it save on fuel; however, it takes a split second to spin up to full throttle. This causes problems when items such as small compressors, saws, RV A/C, etc. are used. Most other generators in this size have an econ switch which when switch off allows the generator to run at full power. At full power this generator would have the power need to start small to medium motors. Having said all of this, the generators would be great for electronics and lights/ small heaters. It seems to be well built with good quality control done. I would not recommend this for refrigerators because the sudden voltage drop and then surge of power when the motor kicks in can damage the refrigerator.

Pulls a Healthy Load, but not my Dometic 13,500 A/C
By Redneck Rich
from Wiggins
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Predator Generators 2500 Peak/2200 Running Watts, 4.7 HP (125cc) Portable Inverter Generator EPA III:
I bought this specifically to power our 2014 Wolf Pup toy hauler air conditioner which is a Dometic 13,500. It would not do it. I researched about installing a hard start capacitor kit (SPP6) with others having luck running their air conditioners from a Honda 1600/2000 generator. Even after installing the kit, it would not run the a/c. I also disconnected the fan and only tried the compressor with all other breakers turned-off, it still would not start the a/c. At this point I figured the generator did not put out the described wattage, so I ran a few simple tests using space heaters as the load. The generator actually put out slightly more power than 2,200 watts! The generator would hold 18.5 amps indefinitely and would push several more amps for a few seconds before tripping the overload. This generator performs wonderfully, is very quiet compared to our Honda powered 8,500 generator, and seems to be a good value. Just do not expect to run a Dometic 13,500!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best for quietness and price!
By Dave M
from Boise, ID
I've been eyeballing this for over a year now. Finally gave in and bought it. Great shape out of the box. Follow the directions prior to use!!! If it first starts and dies after a minute or two, double check the oil. Oil was full out of the box but after priming and the first start, I had to add another half a quart then it ran like a champ. Fired up all the systems on my 2015 toy hauler camper as well as the A/C! Very very quiet generator. I do not understand the negative reviews? I'd buy this over spending $1000 on a Honda any day..

Predator 2500 generator - very impressed
By AJ
from Portland, OR
I just purchased this generator hoping to use it around the house and to power a camping trailer with A/C. After unpacking the unit, I first drained the remaining oil that was in the engine (probably from a test run at the factory). Put in fresh 10W30 Mobil1, and fresh gas. I followed the instructions in the manual that says to turn on the fuel shutoff and the engine switch and then pull slowly 20 times the starter cord. After the 20'th time I set the choke and pulled hard and it started right away. In fact I needed to throttle down the choke right away as it wasn't even needed. I ran the unit for a couple minutes to warm up. Then I started plugging in different devices like a halogen lamp etc. It didn't even phase it. Then I tried my chop saw (Miter saw) and the generator didn't even bog down. The gen RPM went up as they should and my Miter saw ran. Then I went a step further and plugged in my Table saw. Same thing. The Predator powered it without a problem. No overload light either. Very impressed. I haven't had a chance yet to run a trailer A/C but will as soon as I get the chance. As far as noise goes, I couldn't measure the noise but I didn't find it very loud. Of course that is subjective. It is a gas engine and one can hear them no matter the brand. But I put it on the lawn in our yard and walked about 20ft away. It was very quiet we could easily have a conversation without it bothering us. I'd say not much louder if at all, than our house A/C. So far I am very happy with it and would recommend it. Of course time will tell.I may add a video at a later time.

Runs my camper with ease
By Jejvr
from St. Albans, WV
Wasn't sure what the other reviewers were talking about, when they said it was hard to start. I followed the instructions and on the very first quick pull, it started right up. When I bought this generator, I was hoping it would run the air conditioner in my camper. Well it did and then some. I turned on all the lights, fans, tv and air conditioner, basically everything in the camper, and it ran all of them with no problem. The generator is rated at 64db and at 30 feet from it you could barely hear it running. This is perfect for just about any campground.

An absolute great Generator
By Chivo
from Texas
I bought this generator a few months back and it's been great. The initial start takes quite a few pulls to get it started maybe like 7 or 8 but after that iy usually starts in one or 2 pulls. I have over 280 hours on this bad boy and it still runs great. I had a Honda that got stollen out of my truck, and didn't want to spend, $1100 for another one so i ended up getting this one. This one has truly exeeded all my expectations. It's really very quiet maybe not as quiet as the Honda but to be truthful you can't really tell the difference.This thing defintely deserves 5 stars. Although it is quite heavy especially when it's fueled up i would most definitely recommend this generator to anybody that is in the market for an inverter generator. Uses have included camping tailgating and power outages.

My Experience
By SteveS
from Harrison,TN
I have a larger generator but needed one a bit quieter and more fuel efficient to power up some lights and charge some batteries. So far this generator has worked well for me. A few things to note. Make sure and do not overfill the gas tank. It will flood out if you do and not start. This is the same problem with all Predator engines HH sells. To start this generator I have found 3 very slow pulls (with choke on) primes the carburetor so it will start easier. One problem I have found is that it will not run smoothly on "RUN". Mine runs best mid way between the choke and run settings. I think this cuts down on fuel efficiency as I am getting only about 3 plus hours of run time per gallon. But it does work smoothly and surprisingly quietly. On using the battery (12v) charging option, make sure you connect the clips to the battery first and the plug it into the generator. Otherwise it will create a spark around the terminal which could be dangerous. So far I am pleased with this generator.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

The Heinz Salad Cream website has been overhauled by Swamp to target 25- to 44-year-olds. It highlights the product's 'wholesome' ingredients, and the fact that it is 66% lower in fat than standard mayonnaise.
The website promotes the versatility of Heinz Salad Cream with a recipe section containing videos of chef Dan Green preparing a range of dishes featuring what Heinz refers to as 'pourable sunshine'. Visitors can also upload their own recipe ideas to the site for a chance to win cash prizes.
Heinz claims that its Salad Cream brand has experienced a decline in popularity among some consumers, with many perceiving the product to be less healthy than mayonnaise or other salad dressings. The fresh digital strategy is intended to address this issue.
