LeBron James, Dwyane Wade leading by example at Heat camp
Sep 29, 2010, 6:39 PM EDT
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have been "The Man" for years, wherever they have been. Their team. Their show. Lead by example not just words.
We don't know much of what has gone on so far at Heat training camp, tucked as far away from the media spotlight and prying eyes as the Heat could pull off, but we do know this:
LeBron and Wade are the leaders of the Heat. Look what coach Erik Spoelstra told Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
"It always starts with the high-profile guys, as you would call them, the leaders of the team, and it trickles down from there," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "If they see those guys sweating in practice, really working, quite naturally that's the human condition, everybody else falls in line."
LeBron just seems focused and intense, in interviews and from reports of what the media has seen at the end of practice.
"I'm just focused," James said. "I understand how important this NBA season is for us as a franchise, for me as an individual. So I'm not wasting any time. I'm not going to waste my time or waste this franchise's time and come in here and not get my work on."
By the way, if you wonder why Bosh is not considered one of the leaders…
"Getting back in shape isn't easy," he said. "You can work out all you want during the summer, but when you play basketball and go through drills and constant movement, it's different.

WOW LeBron….I wish you would have been that focused in Cleveland.

right on skeeter!! lebron is still a scumbag ,liar ,cheat that karma is awaiting him ……dec 2 in cleveland we will show what cleveland thinks of him!!!
- Lebron who?? - Sep 29, 2010 at 11:12 PM
What I would really like to see at the Q the night of the Cavs-Heat game is 20,000 plus Cavs fans being absolutely dead silent when the Heat is introduced. I know that won't happen but it would be interesting to see.

And You will still lose by more then 20 points loser.
- Confused - Sep 30, 2010 at 9:30 AM
Why all the animosity from these LeBron haters! Wonder what your decision would be if you are suddenly offered a new job in a new city making more money with friends rather than back stabbers.
But then again – this want happend to negative folks like yourself. lol

You'll show him what you think of him by booing him.
…because your team certainly can't handle him on the court.

Ma Ying-jeou misses opportunity to parley with protesters
Publication Date : 25-03-2014
Apparently, President Ma Ying-jeou still doesn't understand what triggered student activists' anger.
As the "occupy the Legislature" movement entered its sixth day, Ma finally held an international press conference on the matter at the Presidential Office yesterday morning. Unfortunately, Ma messed up the opportunity to have a "talk" with the protesters.
Premier Jiang Yi-huah squeezed through thousands of protesters around the Legislative Yuan on Saturday and attempted to talk with them. Jiang's microphone, which was handed to him by one of the student activists, was muted after he failed to promise the two demands raised by protesters: rejection of the Cross-Strait Trade in Services Agreement and legislation for a draft Bill on Pacts between Taiwan and China — a draft bill to regulate the government's power to sign agreements with China.
Jiang failed to communicate with protesters in person. While hundreds of students are still occupying the Assembly Hall, Ma, as president of the Republic of China, should have used the international press conference as an opportunity to talk with the protesters.
Instead, Ma addressed his 15-minute speech to all Taiwanese and foreigners, saying that he acknowledges the students' passion, but they violated the law by occupying the Legislative Yuan. He asked "is that the democracy that we want?"
Ma said that as the president, he has to defend democracy and laws in accordance with the ROC Constitution, stressing that without the law there won't be democracy.
That is very ironic, as it was Kuomintang (KMT) Legislator Chang Ching-chung who broke the cross-caucus resolution last Monday and submitted the service trade pact to the Yuan Sitting, the straw that broke the camel's back and led to the demonstrations.
Ma defended Chang by saying that Chang was forced by circumstances, adding that he would not comment on things that happened at the Legislative Yuan out of respect for the Legislature's autonomy.
Ma's double standard in respecting the laws and democracy clearly will not convince people, especially those who have spent six days sitting in the Assembly Hall.
Since Legislative Yuan Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, Premier Jiang and Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin have promised that they will not use force to evict the student activists, Ma should have created opportunities for the protesters to leave the Assembly Hall. But how is it possible for them to leave the Legislative Yuan when they have been called "law-violating demonstrators?"
People are disappointed with the Legislative Yuan's irresponsible way of handling the service trade pact, but they are angry that their elected president fails to listen to them.
The Legislature has been idling for over six days. There are other important bills waiting to be passed in this legislative session. This is not the time for Ma to pass his responsibility to Wang for handling the ongoing demonstration.
This is the time for Ma to start negotiations with the protesters. The process of the negotiations should be just like signing the Cross-Strait Trade in Services Agreement with China, in that that both parties have to offer to take a step back. You cannot expect the protesters to leave willingly without getting anything from the Ma administration.
Ma said the rejection of the Cross-Strait Trade in Services Agreement will hurt Taiwan's credibility in international society and cross-strait relations, as well as affect Taiwan's bid to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership. So, instead of accepting any demand, he noted that the KMT has agreed to conduct an article-by-article deliberation of the agreement.
However, the legislation for the draft Bill on Pacts between Taiwan and China is something worthy of consideration. Ma, who doubles as the KMT chairman, may say the four-stage reviewing mechanism proposed by the KMT is sufficient oversight for the agreement-signing process with mainland China, but without a specific law to watch over the government, the "occupy the Legislature" will not be a one-time-only event.
Now the student activists have proposed a new demand, asking the ruling party and opposition to negotiate and convene "public constitutional meetings" that invite people from various corners of society to discuss the issue.
So, President Ma, what is your response?

When it comes to the public eye, Mark Sanchez just can't catch a break. He's criticized for his play on the field, he's criticized for his comments off of it. The fourth-year Jets quarterback has been ripped by analysts from ESPN to NFL Network, all across the media spectrum. Heck, even, Joe Namath, the most celebrated player in Gang Green lore, has taken veiled shots — and rather routinely, at that. Sanchez created a buzz by proclaiming "This is my huddle" to reporters following a training camp practice, showing he's in command of the offense and subtly reminding Tim Tebow there's only one sheriff in town. Now he's picked up another detractor for working too nicely with the much-ballyhooed backup. On Friday, former Redskins QB Joe Theismann blasted Sanchez during a radio interview, saying the 25-year-old needs to show his "cojones" and take full control of the team. "This strikes at the heart of Mark Sanchez's pride," Theismann said, via ESPNNewYork.com. "He's going to ge

This was once one of the finest streets in the US. Lined with many elegant mansions. Sadly it is now all but lost. The very few old mansions are often overlooked or morphed into other situations. I find it very sad BUT in last few years there is a glimmer of rebirth. The street upgrades with central corridor for buses...
I have stayed in Cleveland back in 2007. My apartment was bang on the Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland. It is very well connected to public transportation. Near to the Cleveland State University, it has a healthy mix of students and Indian community.
Typical big city street. Pretty flowers in the middle home to the theater district, good restaurants and bars. More of a place to start your vacation then a basic street
Euclid Ave. is a major city street in downtown Cleveland. Some of the 'live' performing arts Theaters are located in "Playhouse Square" on Euclid Ave., where you can see a 'Broadway' type show or a live 'concert'. We saw Queen Latifah perform live at The Palace Theater in Playhouse Square and stayed at the Wyndham Hotel which was just catty...
Not quite sure why this is listed as an attraction. But this is my review of this avenue. I traveled up and down this avenue numerous times during my visit, i can't say that i ever had the urge to leave my car and take a closer look at any of the buildings. But when i did there was a...
It's just a street. Just like any other one anywhere, there is nothing bad nor interesting about it.
There is so much to see and do along Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. Stop in at the Colossal Cupcake and have a cupcake shake, they are phenomenal. The Holiday Inn Express Downtown is a great place to stay. Take a walk and see the sights in a really cool city!
Euclid Ave is underrated because Cleveland is underrated. It starts in the heart of Downtown with Public Square, the War Memorial and Terminal Tower. This is only a few blocks from the Cavs, Browns and Indians venues. From there it runs East past a grand old department store building that now houses a casino. A few blocks later it passes...
It's a street. It takes you places. It needs work for all the potholes. The buslines although convenient make it slow to get around. Not something worth bragging about.
It seems that a lot of effort has gone into this area in modernising it but the vacant shops point to the fact that this area is still redevelopling

Product description
True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others. The 5 Levels of Leadership are: 1. Position - People follow because they have to.2. Permission - People follow because they want to.3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization.4. People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally.5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

We are excited about the first book swap that was held here at Moffitt!!! A total of 128 students brought in 457 books to swap for other gently used books so that they would have some fresh reading material this summer!! We look forward to our next book swap and hope that even more kids will participate!! Happy reading everyone!!
We all shop for groceries, sometimes two or three times a week, or more. Now turn those shopping trips into easy cash for your school. All you need to do is clip and send them to your child's teacher. Each one is worth .10c
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! The Moffitt community of parents, students, teachers and staff is an amazing group of dedicated individuals who work together to create a positive environment for all to learn and grow. We are dedicated to creating a school that provides a rigorous, standards based academic program for all students in a safe and nurturing learning environment.
The teachers at Moffitt are continually involved in staff development to improve our knowledge and skills as educators. This year we are excited to implement the Common Core Standards. Lead teachers have been trained to help provide staff development and support the transition to Common Core curriculum and standards. Our staff also continues to implement the strategies learned through the District's Literacy Initiative to promote critical thinking, develop academic language and increase comprehension in all areas of the curriculum. When you walk in the rooms on our campus you will find a learning environment that supports academic growth and fosters a love of learning. The print-rich environment with meaningful co-created charts, cooperative seating arrangements, organized classroom libraries, and meeting areas designed for large group, small group and individualized instruction help to create the most effective learning environment for our students.
I am looking forward to a successful 2014-15 school year where we continue to work collaboratively to increase student achievement and instill a love of learning into the lives of all Moffitt Mustangs.

Sweetwater JV and varsity teams begin district meet at Wylie.
Another very busy week of district competition for Nolan County high school athletes resumes Monday, when the Sweetwater girls golf team plays the final leg of its 5-3A tournament at Brownwood. BlackwellŌĆÖs golf teams also wrap up their tournament Monday as they play in Baird.
The Sweetwater boys golf team goes to Wylie to play the third and final leg of its 5-3A tournament Tuesday. Both Sweetwater teams are in second place and need a top-two finish to advance to regional tournaments.
ABILENE ŌĆö After scor-ing a season-high 15 runs in a key win at Big Spring three days earlier, Sweet-water again brought out the big lumber on Friday when it traveled to Wylie for the last of four straight road games in District 5-3A softball play.
And after a 10-6 win, the Lady Mustangs are on the verge of making history as just the second team to advance to postseason play since Sweetwater began playing UIL softball.
ABILENE ŌĆö For four in-nings of FridayŌĆÖs rematch, a Sweetwater team that had lost 16-1 at home to Wylie in its District 5-3A opener stood toe-to-toe with the first-place Bulldogs.
The Mustangs even held a brief 4-1 lead after pushing across three runs in their half of the fourth inning before Wylie tied it by scor-ing three runs as well.
Unfortunately, the scor-ing pretty much ended there for Sweetwater, while Wylie was just getting started. The Bulldogs took their first lead, 8-4, with a four-run fifth and went on to a 10-5 win over the Mustangs.

From the Manufacturer
Why Should I Own a Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum? Bissell has been providing quality floor care products for over 125 years. Our deep cleaning products are well known for their quality and superior performance. These same standards apply to our vacuum products as well. And, Bissell has a fully staffed consumer services department that is available to answer any of your questions.
Why is the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser a Great Vacuum for Pet Hair? The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser contains many features designed to pick up pet hair. Its superior suction, rotating brush, and pet hair lifter feature on the wide foot work together to do a great job of removing pet hair from carpets. The Pet Contour Tool bends and flexes to effectively pull out dirt and hair stuck on problem areas such as stairs, along armrests, and other curved or hard to reach surfaces. The Pet Hair Turbo brush combines a rotating brush with special rubber fingers that work as magnets to attract and pick up pet hair.
What are the Advantages of a Cyclonic Bagless Vacuum? Cyclonic cleaning technology keeps filters clean longer for superior suction power. Through cyclonic cleaning, more dirt and pet hair stays in the dirt container where it belongs, versus going to the filters. As filters clog, suction is reduced and cleaning performance drops. Therefore, by keeping filters clean longer, overall cleaning performance is improved. The other advantage of a bagless system is convenience. There are no more bags to search for, buy or change--ever! The clear dirt container allows you to see how much pet hair you have vacuumed up--and accomplished. And, with the clear dirt container it's easy to remove an object that was swept up by accident.
Stella's Story
Meet Stella, a 5 year old Border Collie who lives in Sparta, Michigan, in a household with three cats named Lizzy, Ziggy, and Nevermore. Stella is a very active dog who loves to stay busy chasing the cats around the house, playing with her favorite red rubber ring toy, or hitting a ball across the kitchen floor. She plays hard except during thunderstorms when she hides in the bathtub. Watching cows from the back window during car trips to the bank is something she looks forward to as she know that she'll get potato chips for a treat afterwards. The Pet Hair Eraser is a real treat for her owners, Lori and Ron, because of how well it takes care of the dirt and pet hair that Stella and their 3 cats leave behind.
I will be returning this vacuum after using it 3 times. The design isn't well thought out. For instance, if you use the pet hair attachment, hair will inevitably wind up stuck in... Read morePublished on Dec 10 2012 by Jennifer

Bear Down, Bear North: Alaska Stories
By Melinda Moustakis (University of Georgia Press, $24.95)
The blurb: Melinda Moustakis brings to life a rough-and-tumble of Alaska homesteaders through a series of linked stories. Born in Alaska herself to a family with a homesteading legacy, Moustakis examines near-mythological accounts of the Alaska wilderness.
Excerpt: "She's nineteen years old and pregnant. She's nineteen years old and pregnant with me and waiting at the bus stop and it's fifty below in Fairbanks.
"One of these times, she rides the bus to a job interview for a secretarial position. She and my father had twenty-three dollars to their name. 'They wanted me to do a typing test,' she says. 'So right there I chewed off my fingernails -- every one. I spit them into the trash can while the lady in the suit watched.'
"Now she keeps her nails long, just past elegant, and paints them blood-red to match her lipstick. Mine are like hers, so tough it hurts to clip them, but I keep mine short. There's the woman in red lipstick, sitting around the campfire, watching the sun slink down on Mount McKinley. A cigar glows in her mouth. 'And I didn't break a sweat,' she says. She fans out her fingers over the flames. 'Or a nail.' "
Kristine Killdeer: The Serpents of Eden
By Stephen Gilbert Brown (Lime Orchard Publications, $19.95)
The blurb: The first of four books in the Kristine Killdeer Saga, the story takes place in Alaska, where Killdeer falls for a Bush teacher named Owen Woodson, cross-cutting between their romance and the war between loggers and eco-activists.
Excerpt: "The Cessna 110 dropped out of the August clouds like a yellow dragonfly droning through the epic silence of the Far North. The craft bounced and vibrated in the Siberian immensity. I did what I always did when scared. Picked out a spot and hung onto it as if my entire world consisted of it and nothing else -- in this case, a droplet of condensation sliding down the windshield. The altimeter needle vibrated, as the winds in the pass bounced the Cessna from one reading to another, even as my thoughts veered from one fear to another: of going down in this heaving sea of white-capped alps, of slamming headfirst into one of these icy summits, and of returning for yet another winter to the Sky Glacier Wilderness.
"I squirmed in my seat, tightened the safety strap across my chest."
Empire of the Beetle
By Andrew Nikirofuk (Greystone Books, $17.95)
The blurb: Journalist Andrew Nikiforuk describes the massive destruction beetles have caused to more than 30 billion pine and spruce trees from Alaska to New Mexico.
Excerpt: "The first of the continent's great beetle outbreaks overran Ed Berg's backyard outside Homer, Alaska, in 1993. That's when spruce beetles hit the towering ancient old-growth Sitka spruce on the ecologist's one-acre lot just off East End Road. 'You could hear a little crunch as they were going into the bark,' recalls Berg. Within a year or two, about 95 percent of his trees turned red, dropped their needles, and died. So, too, did the trees at his neighbor's place. Most people had built off East End Road to enjoy the splendor of, say, 270-year-old Sitka spruce. Now the trees stood as lifeless as gray skeletons. 'We were all heartbroken,' says Berg. 'It was a gut-wrenching experience.' "

Jim Maki doesn't remember falling off a Boston subway platform -- but in that instant his face, and life as he knew it, was gone.
Four years later, Maki would get an astonishing second chance. He would receive another man's features thanks to a groundbreaking face transplant surgery and one woman's generosity to honor the man she loved.
But the procedure came with enormous risks. At the time, Maki would become only the second person ever to receive a face transplant in the U.S., so the surgical team would be heading into uncharted waters.
Watch the exclusive behind-the-scenes of Maki's face transplant on "Boston Med" tonight at 10 p.m.
Burn center director Dr. Bohdan "Bo" Pomahac was on call on June 30, 2005, when Maki was admitted to the intensive care unit of Brigham and Woman's Hospital. Maki had accidentally fallen face first onto an electrified subway rail.
"The tissues basically got vaporized. It was literally like how you would create a crater in the middle of the face," Pomahac said.
Maki suffered third-degree burns and had lost his nose, cheeks, teeth, part of his mouth, muscle, bone and nerves, in addition to damaging his arm and one of his eyes. In all his years as a plastic surgeon, Pomahac never had seen a facial injury so severe. He knew the lost tissues were irreplaceable, so "patients like him are doomed."
"It was difficult for him to speak, eat or drink," Pomahac said. "I don't think that any one of us can quite imagine what it is like living without a face. ... If you're horribly disfigured, and you can't really express yourself when you speak, it's a bad combination. You are just at the mercy of people and their judgment."
Unable to endure the stares, insults and, sometimes, physical assaults, Maki became recluse, preferring to stay in his home outside of Boston.
"I've had young kids come up to me and ask if I was real," Maki recalled. "It was uncomfortable. ... They usually stay away from me."
Over the years, Pomahac performed multiple procedures on Maki's face, but felt helpless that he couldn't do more. So after several extensive medical and psychological evaluations, Maki became listed as a face transplant candidate in February 2009. Now, all that was needed was a donor.
A child of Holocaust survivors, Joseph Helfgot, grew up dirt-poor, but would go on to become a university professor, a radio talk show host and, eventually, a successful Hollywood businessman. He had no idea his long list of achievements would also include "life saver."
Helfgot suffered from heart problems his whole life, but his condition became worse after he entered his 50s. When he was wheeled into surgery at Brigham and Woman's Hospital for a heart transplant in April 2009, he had a stroke on the operating table and was declared brain dead.
"It happened so fast I couldn't really believe it, and I just flashed back to the night before when Joseph and I had this conversation," said Helfgot's widow, Susan Whitman. "'If anything happens to me,' Joseph said, 'I really want you to remember that I'm an organ donor and I want you to do it.' "
Whitman and her family prepared to donate Helfgot's liver, kidneys and his transplanted heart.
But the New England Donor Bank had another request it had not asked many people before.
"I just remember thinking, how can you take somebody's face off of them?" Whitman said.

Europe feels crunch in movie tickets
Variety is reporting a dip in sales of movie tickets in the past year.
Cinema attendance in the European Union dipped 2.2% last year, with 910 million tickets sold vs. 931 million in 2006.
Admissions were up on 2005's 899 million but down significantly on the bumper 2004 total of 1 billion, according to provisional figures released by the European Audiovisual Observatory.
Among the major territories with falling admissions last year were Germany (down 8.2%), Spain (down 7.7%) and France (down 5.6%). Steep dropoffs were seen in some new EU states, such as Hungary (down 13.8%) and Slovakia (down 19.9%).

Vienna theater allows dogs
VIENNA, AUSTRIA — Someone should tell all these theaters in the U.S. leaping hurdles to obtain alcohol permits that there is another route to new customers. Check out what they're doing at the Admiral Theatre.
A movie theater in Vienna has opened its doors to dogs for daily shows people can enjoy in the company of their pets, a spokesman said.
The Admiral cinema used to have "dog days" only once a month to compete with larger theaters, but has begun hosting them daily because of their popularity, the Mirror reported Wednesday.

NYC's Met Opera filling multiplex theaters in US
Even in its home town of New York City, the Met Opera is selling many tickets for multiplex broadcasts on large movie screens.
It's all part of a marketing strategy by Met general manager Peter Gelb to attract a new, younger audience.
"We're creating, basically, satellite opera houses," Gelb said. "But the Met offers something you don't get at a performance — cameras that show action behind the scenes and interviews in dressing rooms, the equivalent of going into the locker room of a sports team."
On a recent weekend, ticket sales for the Met broadcasts reached $1.65 million, pushing Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" to No. 11 in North American movie box-office receipts, according to Variety.

This came in from the SoCalDIMS (Southern California Drive-In Movie Society:
We wanted to share this interesting box office tidbit that should interest all you drive-in fans out there.
From Box Office Essentials, an online industry service that film studios, marketing firms and theater owners often use to get weekend box office grosses reported some very enlightening box office returns for the weekend opening of Fred Clause starring Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.
For per screen grosses covering that Friday, Saturday & Sunday…
The Vineland Drive-In in the City of Industry, California ranked #1 in the country with a weekend box office take of $19,827. In fact for the entire nation the top ten theaters ranked on Box Office Essentials website, 9 of them were drive-in theaters. And of those 9, 8 of them were right here in California.
They are in order:

Wal-Mart cancels movie download program
Wal-Mart has eliminated its movie download service after less than year.
Wal-Mart shut down the download site after Hewlett Packard Co discontinued the technology that powered it, Walmart.com spokeswoman Amy Colella said in an e-mail. She added that it will not look for another technology partner.
HP spokesman Hector Marinez said the company decided to discontinue its video download-only merchant store services because the market for paid video downloads did not perform "as expected." He noted that the Internet video business remains uncertain and is changing rapidly.
Wal-Mart will continue offering physical DVDs for sale at its stores and online, but would not continue the online downloads business, said Colella, who declined to disclose the number of downloads sold on the site.
Maybe a sign that consumers still want something they can touch or maybe it was just marketed poorly? Probably not the last we'll see of operations like this.

Old Theatres in Britain Website
Please take a look at our web pages www.oldtheatres.co.uk which give details of old theatres in Britain which are working, or under threat, or have been demolished. In our first book,d ue to be published in February 2008, we examine OLD THEATRES OF THE MIDLANDS and those wonderful days of variety.
An introduction to the book, which includes over 150 photographs, is given by the famous Beverley Sisters, an act which topped the bill at theatres all over the country throughout the fifties and sixties, and who each were given the M.B.E. by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II in March 2006. We read about Derby Hippodrome, now awaiting its fate as a "live" theatre, but with a massive supporters' association.

On the Waitlist? Be Prepared.
By Willie Green, Admissons Officer and Daytime MBA Waitlist Manager.
It's that time of the year again. The Daytime MBA Class of 2016 is preparing to arrive on campus, and those of you on the waitlist are patiently waiting for news from our Office of Admissions that we have a spot available for you in this class. We could be admitting students from the waitlist up until the first day of Orientation, which starts July 30, which means you would need to make a decision, submit the $3,000 tuition deposit and transition very quickly! In anticipation of receiving that call, take a few minutes to review my post from last year that contains some helpful tips about what to expect and how to be prepared.
Please continue to be in touch with your waitlist counselor about any updates you may have, and don't forget to send them to email@example.com and copy your waitlist counselor.

January is School Board Recognition Month
FPS staff report
January 4, 2011
The Ohio School Boards Association is celebrating School Board Recognition Month in January to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society.
School Board Recognition Month honors the members of Ohio's 719 city, exempted village, local and joint vocational boards of education and educational service centers governing boards for their commitment to providing quality public education to Ohio's school children.
Carrollton Exempted Village School District is joining with other districts throughout the state to recognize the important contributions school board members make to their communities.
"Ohioans benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,400 men and women across the state," says Carrollton Schools Supt Palmer Fogler.
"These public servants are elected to serve by local citizens and receive little compensation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Ohio," she added.
"These people unselfishly contribute their time and talents toward the advancement of public education. They represent a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education. Even though we are making a special effort during January to show appreciation to our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round commitment on their part," Supt. Fogler said.
"They are dedicated individuals who are committed to the continuing success of our schools and students," she added.
The men and women serving Carrollton Exempted Village School district and their years of service are: Douglas Frampton, Board president, 6 years; Cory Lutton, board vice president, 6 years; Mrs. Bonnie Little, 2 years; Mrs. Rose Seck and Mrs. Helen Skinner, each 1 year.

Miss Amanda Walter « Teacher Connection / Documents / Calendar
Welcome! My name is Amanda Walter and this is my second year teaching at The Villages Charter High School. I received my MA in Shakespeare Studies from the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, England and my BA in American and English Literature from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Outside of class I spend my time training for triathlons and marathons, reading, travelling, and hanging out with my awesome dog Amelie.
My Philosophy "Education is all a matter of building bridges." –Ralph Ellison
I believe it is my role as a teacher to be a guide, positive role model, and expert in the curriculum I am teaching. It is my duty to assist in "building bridges" for students' educational journeys. I have high expectations for the students in my class. I expect the students to achieve academically to their fullest potential. I expect students to contribute in a positive manner to my classroom. I am truly looking forward to an exciting, yet academically challenging year.
Class Supply List
Pens-Black or blue ink only.
Plenty of college rule paper.
3 ring binder-You may share your binder with another class, or you may leave your notebook in the cabinets in my classroom.
300 3" X 5" Index Cards-These cards may be lined or unlined. These will be used for weekly vocabulary lessons. Students will not be required to have all the index cards at the beginning of the year; however, I would suggest keeping the full amount in the classroom to avoid being unprepared for class.
A rubber band, or some other form of keeping notecards together and organized.
Flash drive-Your flash drive is an important piece of your success in my class. You may want to purchase a flash drive that you can attach to your keys, or your backpack to prevent loss of your work. Remember, always save your work to multiple locations!
Moodle Account
Internet access- If you do not have access to the internet the Media Center is open before and after school.
Access to Microsoft Word or a similar program-Please be advised that files that cannot be opened due to incompatibility will be counted late. Please make sure your document can be opened on a school computer to avoid this issue.
