TECHS offers students jump-start on collegeWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Patricia Jones is getting a jump-start on her college career as a student at Toledo Early College High School (TECHS). The 18-year-old senior — who plans to be the first of her family to attend college — is currently enrolled in six college courses, including sociology, trigonometry and creative writing. By high school graduation in May, Jones will have earned 60 college credits — an equivalent of two years of college — that can be applied toward a bachelor's degree.
Jones is among 225 students participating in what is essentially a boot camp for college. TECHS is part of the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) system and works in partnership with the University of Toledo to help students earn college credit. The nine-year-old school is housed on the Scott Park campus, just a short bus ride away from UT's college classrooms.
The course work is rigorous, accelerated and often difficult, yet the payoff is great, administrators said — students can earn up to an associate's degree without paying tuition. Educators and students agree the school is not for everyone, yet students are succeeding, they said. However, one educational advocate wonders whether the school is truly meeting its original mission of educating the underprivileged.
Rigorous curriculum
Incoming students do not have to be "little geniuses" to attend, according to TECHS teacher Randy Nissen, but they must be willing to learn good study habits, such as organization, motivation and determination.
Prospective students must take a basic math and reading comprehension assessment, provide a writing sample and meet with a TECHS teacher and two TECHS students.
Teachers and administrators also look at classroom grades, standardized test scores, attendance and behavioral history to decide who is accepted or denied.
"We have to identify kids that are so deficient in math or reading it would be nearly impossible to bring them up to speed to take college classes," Nissen said. "We're not screening just to try to get top academic performers. We do not cherry-pick the district. Kids do not have to be straight-A, honor students … [but] we don't want to set up kids for failure."
Students at TECHS focus on a foreign language and four core high school classes: English, world history, biology and algebra or geometry. The rest are college courses, like gender studies, theater, African studies and communications.
"It's probably more rigorous than an average TPS high school but the thing is, we provide a lot of support along the way," Nissen said. "It's rigorous but by no means impossible. The kids who struggle the most are not very diligent about keeping up with their work. With a little hard work and planning and good work ethic, kids succeed every day."
"It is not something for every student, every teacher or every administrator," said TECHS principal Robin Wheatley of the school. "We have had them across the ranks who didn't like it.
"If you are not college-ready, you can't graduate from [TECHS] so if you are not performing well academically you can't stay," she said. "You have to earn the credits."
Student opinion
"It's good for us," Jones said of the rigorous coursework. She was part of a small group of students who gathered in a conference room Jan. 13 to discuss their experience at TECHS. "It's a lot of work, we have a lot of homework, but it makes it so much easier when we go into college. We know what to expect."
"I love it," said junior Raven Neal-Jackson, 16, who said she enjoys learning the ropes of college ahead of the game. "I love the experience. … Tuition is paid for, books are paid for. … We get a really good college experience."
Neal-Jackson will also be the first of her family to attend college. She earned a scholarship to Ohio State University, which is a "big thing" for her, she said.
The group of mostly seniors and juniors said they were not put off by the lack of sports or extracurricular activities, and rattled off a list of after-school events the school offers, like game night, a holiday festival and even a water fight. They all agreed the school was a challenge, but nothing they couldn't handle.
Freshman Tierell McBeth said he has struggled with motivation, but agreed the teachers were very encouraging.
"It's a lot more work than I'm used to and I procrastinate, but I'm getting better at it," McBeth said.
"[The teachers] are like a lot of counselors — they help with anything," said senior Benjamin Corey, who is applying to Northwestern, Purdue and Ohio State. "It's cliché but, seriously, it's like this big family."
Too much?
The rigors of the curriculum may have been too much for some students. The school saw a "handful" of students leave this year for various reasons, Nissen said. Some may have left because they missed their regular school or wanted to participate in a sport.
Nissen said although the school does not offer sports, students who want to play sports can do so at the school they would have attended if they want to make the extra effort.
"Many received good grades in junior high without really being challenged and they didn't make the effort to adapt to the new rigorous (but by no means impossible) expectations," Nissen said in an email about why students left. "Again, we do not expect them to enter our school as miniature college students. We meet them where they are but we immediately nurture and encourage and expect them to grow as students. Some don't catch on."
Nissen said the retention rate is starting to improve. The numbers don't look good, but the percentage of those graduating is high.
The first graduating class in 2009 began with 93 students and graduated 45. In 2013, the class started with 85 and graduated 55, Nissen said. According to the state, the school's graduation rate was 93 percent in 2012, compared to 64.6 percent for the district and 81.3 percent for the state, giving it an "A" rating.
"We have put in plans to work on retention," said Jim Gault, TPS executive transformational leader of curriculum and instruction.
"You are going to have a loss of students in the first year because of the rigor and because it's not a comprehensive high school."
Free tuition
A student's tuition is paid for in partnership by TPS, UT, some federal grant money and the state of Ohio, which gives an allotment per student.
Even with that cost, TECHS is less expensive for the district than a traditional high school because those schools pay for sports and extracurricular activities, said TPS treasurer Matt Cleland.
"The numbers show it's more expensive in traditional high school and that's because there's more services," Cleland said. "There's [also] a higher rate of special education students."
TPS used to pay UT $132.50 per credit hour and a flat fee of $35,000 for rental space of their offices on the Scott Park campus, said Dennis Lettman, dean of UT's College of Adult and Lifelong Learning, who was part of the group of educators and others who started TECHS.
Under a new agreement recently signed by TPS and UT, the district will now pay a lump sum on an annual basis based on an enrollment of about 200 students. As the school increases its enrollment, it will pay less per student. Both UT and TPS said growing the school is their goal.
"I can't give you an exact rate because it is variable based on the enrollment and credit hours taken by the students," Lettman said. "The annual rate will be $300,000 including rental and other miscellaneous fees, but will be reduced for every student enrolled over 200."
"With enough students, they can get it to zero," Lettman said.
Strong partnership
TPS and UT have a "strong partnership," Lettman said, which benefits the students, the parents, TPS and UT.
"We're helping the university by creating a pipeline of well-prepared students of a diverse population coming into the university. It definitely helps us," Lettman said.
TECHS welcomed a new UT liaison officer this school year.
John Adams started his time with TECHS by helping to put TECHS' homecoming court center stage at UT's homecoming game.
Adams, who referred questions to Lettman, fully supports the mission and vision of TECHS, according to a 2013 TECHS newsletter. Part of his responsibilities as liaison is to be directly involved in the marketing to and recruitment of eighth-grade students, which have been beefed up to meet the new goal of growing the school.
"There is a need now more than ever to raise awareness and encourage discussions at home between students and their families, relating to college preparedness," said Adams in the newsletter.
No student has ever graduated from TECHS with fewer than 30 hours of college credit, according to EDWorks, a subsidiary of Cincinnati-based KnowledgeWorks that establishes and tracks early college high schools.
On average, 85 percent of TECHS students earn 51-60 hours of college credit before they graduate high school and 12 percent earn between 41-50 hours of college credit during high school. Some earn more than 60 credits.
EDWorks does not have data on how many go on to universities, but it does know that 67 percent of TECHS graduates are enrolled at UT, working on their four-year degrees. Two TECHS alumni are currently pursuing graduate degrees at UT.
According to Wheatley, 98 percent of the school's graduates enroll at UT.
Sisters Amber and Autumn Mitchell are both graduates of TECHS. They said their family is middle class — too rich to afford federal and state aid but too poor to fund a college education. They wanted to help finance their educations but they also wanted a head start, they said.
Amber, who was a member of the first graduating class at TECHS, is earning her graduate degree in school psychology at UT. The 23-year-old said the experience at TECHS was a great way to learn networking and study skills.
"I took my first college class at 15 and it was geology," said Amber, who earned 71 credits at TECHS. "No one else knew my age. When they did find out they were like, 'Oh, you are so smart.' I'm like 'No, I have to put in an effort just like you.'"
Autumn, 18, played the viola and volleyball at Rogers High School and worked a customer service job all while earning 60 credits at TECHS. She is currently a junior at UT and will graduate at age 19 with a degree in political science. She plans to be an attorney. She said TECHS gave her a valuable lesson in time management and provided a smooth transition from high school to college.
"The transition was easier because it was just like going to [high] school," Autumn said. "At TECHS, we had to report back to teachers. Now, I keep track of that myself."
"The school further enhanced what they came in with," said the sisters' mother, Veronica Mitchell. "The kids come in with the skills but the schools enhance that. I have a personal relationship with half the teachers and still volunteer. What I love about it is the great feedback. If any child is falling through the cracks, the teacher notifies the parent."
An impact study by the American Institutes for Research last month found that early college high school students had a greater opportunity than their peers to enroll in and graduate from college. They also earned college degrees at a higher rate than comparable students.
The mission
Early college high schools were established in Ohio in 2003 as part of a partnership between KnowledgeWorks Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and others in response to the state's poor graduation rates.
TECHS started two years later, joining six other such schools in urban areas across the state. KnowledgeWorks funneled a $400,000 grant from Bill and Melinda Gates to start the school.
As part of the school's mission, the student body would primarily consist of students who would be first-generation college students, from low-income homes, English language learners or students of color, although they are not requirements for attending.
The mission was designed to keep students, particularly those from low-income families, from dropping out of high school and give them better opportunities to succeed in college, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty, administrators said.
Factors of success
Wheatley called the school a "huge success," which she attributes to its strong relationship with UT, which treats TECHS students as its own. By students' junior year, they are taking the bus to UT's main campus and mingling among regular college students.
Administrators pointed to TECHS' performance rating by the state as more proof of its achievement. TECHS has the highest performance rating in Northwest Ohio, surpassing Ottawa Hills High School, a school with more affluent students and families, Wheatley said.
Overall, the school earned an A on its 2012-13 report card, earning a 94 percent and 100 percent achievement rating.
Today, TECHS is the highest-performing school in the district and was recently named by the ODE as the state's seventh-ranking high school and 17th highest-performing school overall in the state, according to EDWorks.
Steven Flagg, an education advocate who has followed TPS and education issues for the past 17 years, does not disagree that the school is a success on an academic level, but he is not so sure the school has met its original criteria for success, educating the underprivileged but has instead has morphed into merely a "public relations" school.
"If their mission is to break the cycle of poverty, I'm not sure they're meeting it," Flagg said. "If the mission is to have a beacon in the district as a PR model then they're meeting it. … These students are succeeding, but are they meeting the mission of breaking the cycle of poverty? … I don't want to destroy this school. I want the school to meet its mission."
Among Flagg's concerns are that not enough minority, low-income and first-generation college students are being recruited and that the cost of educating students who drop out before graduation may not be cost-effective to taxpayers or the system.
Flagg said he believes a change in leadership changed the direction of the school, resulting in a change to the mission.
Fewer minorities
A study released Jan. 22 by Policy Matters Ohio, an Ohio-based nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research organization established in 2000, found that the majority of the highest-performing schools in Ohio — including TECHS — have enrolled a smaller proportion of minorities, economically disadvantaged and disabled students compared to the districts in which they serve.
TECHS was part of the study that looked at seven school districts and 11 schools in Toledo. TPS was one of 57 districts examined statewide.
"We found that a majority of these top-rated schools enrolled lower percentages of minority students, economically disadvantaged students and students with disabilities," the report said. "It is clear that most are not reaching an equal share of the students with the fewest opportunities in Ohio urban districts."
The study shows that 30.2 percent of the students at TECHS are black compared to 42.1 percent in TPS; the number of Hispanic students at TECHS is 6.9 percent compared to 9.4 percent in the district, and TECHS has a 46.1 percent white enrollment compared to 40.7 percent of white students in the district.
"It does not surprise me in the least," Flagg said of the study results. "I have been asking these same questions for a year and saying there's something wrong here. The one thing that has to happen here is that every single program needs performance bench marks.
"I frankly don't think we need to be giving folks with advantages more advantage," he said.
The study went on to say that the highest-performing schools have practices that others don't, such as selective enrollment, applications and smaller class size, which are reasons why they are successful.
Analyze the data
On Jan. 20, Gault and Flagg sat down to discuss Flagg's concerns regarding the school's mission, retention/graduation rates and recruitment issues.
Flagg and Gault, who meet regularly but have never entered into such a joint effort in the past, agreed to gather the data, analyze it, look to see if there are areas needing improvement and make any changes, they said. They'll then take their findings before the governing board of TECHS, which is made up of representatives from the school, TPS and UT.
"[Flagg] had some concerns and I said 'Let's sit down' and he's going to pull some data and we're going to discuss it and if there are some things supported by the data then we'll bring (in) others," Gault said.
"We're going to review the history of what's happened and get up to speed on why we're at where we're at," Flagg said. "We're going to look at the history and ask ourselves how we got to that point and ask how do we move forward based on where we're at?"
Flagg and Gault have plans to meet again Feb. 11.
New mission
Student enrollment is open to students inside and outside the district, but the underprivileged get priority, Gault said. Minorities, low-income students, those who would be first in their families to attend college and ESL learners all take the first open slots and then other more privileged students fill the remaining slots.
The problem is that the school does not have enough interested underprivileged students to meet enrollment needs so the district must cast a wider net, he said.
"We've tried to stay in line with the mission of the school but it comes to a point where you want to expand it and you make room for others," Gault said. "Students who are part of the mission are entered in first. They get priority. We have a lack of numbers of students. We're doing a lot of marketing around schools to get more [minority] students to apply."
Administrators have a new goal to grow the school, almost doubling it in three years, from its current 225 students to 400 students by 2017, Wheatley said. TECHS would continue to target the underprivileged while opening its doors to more students.
TECHS was on the chopping block six years ago and had to cut $100 million from its budget to stay alive. Fortunately, the school has been able to stay afloat and balance its budget, Gault said.
He said he believes the state shouldn't make cuts to schools that are working.
"We should be trying to replicate the things that are working," he said. "If we can grow our enrollment we can bring our costs down."
On Jan. 25, the school hosted a recruitment seminar for eighth-graders across Northwest Ohio for next school year.
To increase enrollment, the school created a marketing campaign with mailings, commercials and yard signs for neighborhoods. School representatives are talking to parents and all eighth-grade classes across the district.
They are focused on TPS, in which 70 percent of students receive free or reduced-cost lunches.
"We believe our target audience is current TPS and charter school students," Gault said. Meanwhile, the district is "working hard" to address the D performance rating it received in a 2012-13 report card from the state.
"We're working hard to address that low grade for the district," he said.
Wave of the future
The push toward early college high schools is a national trend. In 2003, the year early colleges started in Ohio, there were about 30 to 40 early college high schools around the country, said Harold Brown, president of EDWorks.
Today, there are about 300 early college high schools from New York to Texas, he said. North Carolina alone has 75; Texas has 50. Ohio has 16, including TECHS.
Gault, whose daughter attends TECHS, said part of the district's plan is to take a look at what is working at TECHS and apply it to other schools in the district.
"[TECHS] is not for everybody," Gault said. "It is for students who want to be pushed and have family members who want to support them. This is for your students who want a head start."

Normally you would get what you pay for, but i don't believe this is the case. Sound Percussion Sticks are in my opinion one of the most durable sticks on the market today. I have used everything from zildjian, pro-mark, vater, to regal tip, silverfox, vic-firth and any other stick. You get, believe it or not, the same quality stick for a price that is unbeatable. Whether it's rock, metal, jazz, blues, world, or whatever is to your liking you won't be dissappointed!
I use the Wood Funk sticks at school and at home. Like them because they are thin but heavier than 7A. I recommend them to anyone.
I never thought that i would ever use anything other than my primary stick but now i am giging alot more and its tough to pay 7 or8 dollars a pair when you need 10 or more pair. So i read the other reviews and decided to give sound percussion a try. I cant believe how nice these sticks are!!! They have a GREAT FEEL to them and they hold up EVERY BIT as good as my vic firth sticks for HALF THE PRICE !!! I now use sound percussion 5b nylons EXCLUSIVELY and i LOVE them!!! They last a long time but when they break i dont have to break the bank to replace them!! Try a pair in your favorite size and you'll see what i mean!!

Karrueche Tran Hounded With Rihanna Questions During A Night Out
Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran has been raising a lot of eyebrows lately after she started enjoying the LA nightlife without her boo Breezy. The Girls Night Outs without Chris started becoming more frequent after Rihanna's interview with Oprah where it was revealed that she still loved Chris and they are still good friends.
Last night, Karrueche was spotted out in Hollywood while attending a party at the Supper Club with her best friend Seiko (BET's Baldwin Hills). As she was leaving, she was hounded by the paps who asked her what she thought of Rihanna's interview with Oprah, in which she didn't respond. She, however, began smiling when she was asked, 'If you had a chance to say anything to Rihanna what would it be?'
Oh, and she had at least two of Chris's bodyguards in tow which is a good indication that they are still together, despite those pesky rumors. It must suck to always have to be asked about the ex girl every time she leaves the house.

Geographies of Gardening: Ryan Gainey Discusses Figs
Garden designer Ryan Gainey of Decatur, Georgia is well known for synthesizing classical English garden design with vernacular southeastern species and participating in seed preservation. In this short video by Steve Bransford, Gainey talks about the botanical life and offers a cultural history of figs.
Video and Essay:
|Geographies of Gardening: Ryan Gainey Discusses Figs. A short film by Steve Bransford, 2010.
Since early 2010, Steve Bransford has been working on a documentary video portrait of Georgia gardener Ryan Gainey with Cooper Sanchez and Matthew Chipman. Gainey is an acclaimed garden designer and author of The Well-Placed Weed: The Bountiful Garden of Ryan Gainey (1993). He has served as mentor for a number of leading garden designers throughout the US South, including Sanchez. In the summer, Steve filmed a session with Gainey during which he discussed the botanical and cultural aspects of several fruits. In this segment, he talks about the physical characteristics and historical significance of the fig.
|Steve Bransford, Figs from Ryan Gainey's garden, Decatur, Georgia, 2010.
This video short is one of several satellite pieces connected to their comprehensive film about Gainey, which fuses biography and botanical discourse. Born in the 1940s, Gainey grew up poor and gay in rural South Carolina and attended Clemson University, where he studied ornamental horticulture. Using vernacular plants in classical garden design, he became a successful landscaper in the 1980s. He is renowned for pairing English garden aesthetics with native plants of the southeastern United States.
As is evident in the introduction of this short video, Gainey's gardens become fields of memory. He participates in seed saving movements that value heirloom plants, both botanically and culturally. He sees plants as part of larger historical narratives, whether they are species grown by Benjamin Franklin or Gainey's own grandmother. Gainey's musings on figs (using scientific Latinate terms and discussing Western mythology) demonstrate his devotion to gardening as botany and cultural study.
About the Author:
Steve Bransford completed his PhD in American Studies at Emory University in 2008 and now serves as the Educational Analyst for Video within Emory's Academic Technologies division. He has worked as a documentary filmmaker for over ten years and, in 2010, was commissioned to produce a film about the photographer Oraien Catledge for the Mississippi Museum of Art.

Richard Saltzman died suddenly October 20, 2011. He was a native New Yorker transplanted to Warren, Vermont, and most recently to Florida. Richard was a graduate of Ohio State University and a veteran of World War II, receiving two purple hearts.
Richard moved with his wife Hanni to Warren in 1967 leaving Manhattan behind. After a few years he opened Mad River Realty on the corner of the Sugarbush Access Road and Route 100 which he ran for almost 25 years. He was an active member of the community as both a member of the Rotary Club and the Masons. Though Richard moved to Florida in his later years, Vermont held a very special place in his heart. He made a point every year of spending at least a few weeks every summer in The Valley, including this past year, and attended every Warren Fourth of July parade since 1968. He was an avid reader and traveler as well as a gifted storyteller and had friends all over the world.
He is survived by his wife Hanni, daughter Kristina, son Alex and brother Ralph. He was loved very much and will be missed.

The best matte purple eyeshadow I have ever used. It's soft, smooth and highly pigmented. I never experience any problems with application – the shadow is buildable to achieve full opacity, and it also nicely blendable. One of the things I love about this eyeshadow is that when you blend it out it has quite a natural fade to pink, which means you don't have to go to the extra effort of placing a lighter colour to help the transition. The only possible downside is that it does stain the eyelids quite noticeably. Make up remover (even ones that remove the hardest eyeliners and mascaras) cannot completely remove the stain, but a shower usually does the trick.
Poison Plum is a deep purple-plum with strong red undertones and a matte finish.

It's not easy using Google services when your Internet connection is very slow. Here are some helpful features:
1. Gmail's basic HTML mode - https://mail.google.com/mail/h/. It doesn't have all the features of the regular Gmail interface, but it lets you read messages and compose mail. This interface uses JavaScript sparingly and every click means a new page request. The good news is that there isn't much too load, so the basic HTML interface is better suited for slow connections. You can even set it as the default interface.
2. Disable Google Instant from the search preferences page. Just enable "never show Instant results" and click "Save" so that Google never tries to load search results as you type the query. Google will still show suggestions, but you can disable this feature by using this URL.
3. YouTube Feather is an experimental interface that's intended to "serve YouTube video watch pages with the lowest latency possible". You can still play videos, check related videos, subscribe to channels and read a few comments, but these are all the features that are available. Since your connection is slow, it's a good idea to select "240p" from the list of resolutions.
4. The old Google image search interface is better for slow connections, but you should bookmark this URL to use it. Unfortunately, you can't switch to the old interface and the "switch to basic version" is placed at the bottom of the page in the standard version.
5. Chrome's click-to-play feature is great because it loads content that requires plug-ins on demand. That means you have to click a gray box to load Flash content, Java applets etc. It's an excellent alternative to extensions like FlashBlock and it's built into Chrome. How to enable click-to-play in Chrome? Type chrome://chrome/settings/content in a new tab, press Enter, enable "click to play" in the "plug-ins" section and click "OK".
6. Google's transcoder available at http://google.com/gwt/n is optimized for mobile devices, but it also works on a computer. Just type the URL of a page and Google will display a compressed version of the page with smaller images, simplified layout and no JavaScript.
7. The text-only Google Cache lets you load a simplified version of the page directly from Google Cache. Sometimes it's an old version of the page, but at least it loads fast. You can get this version by clicking "text-only" in the header of the regular cached page, but that's not efficient. There's also this URL you can use:
(replace www.domain.com with the URL of the page)
8. Chrome's custom user agent feature is great if you want to pretend you're using a different browser. If your connection is really slow, pretending that you're using a smartphone has an important advantage: many sites will load the mobile interfaces, which are lightweight. To change the user agent in Chrome, open the developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+I for Windows/Linux, Command-Option-I for Mac), click the "settings" button at the bottom of the window, click "user agent", enable "override user agent", select "Android 4.0.2 - Google Nexus" or "iPhone - iOS 5.0" from the list and disable "override device metrics".
9. Google Public DNS is a simple way to speed up your browsing experience if the DNS service you're using is slow. "The DNS protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day," explains Google.
10. Use a browser that supports SPDY, a new protocol "designed for low-latency transport of content over the World Wide Web." Right now, SPDY is supported by Chrome and Firefox, while many Google sites use it.
If Chrome or Firefox aren't good enough, use a browser optimized for slow connections: Opera and enable Opera Turbo, a feature that uses Opera's servers to compress pages and their resources. Opera uses Google's WebP image format to save even more data and show crisper images. The average compression ratio for Opera Turbo is about 60%. Turbo is also available in the Opera Mobile app for Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile and you can use the Opera Mini app for a higher compression ratio (up to 90%). Opera Mini can be installed on most phones, including feature phones and the iPhone.

Ed's Cosmic Pizza Blab: Can Serious Pizza-Makers Have More than Two Great Pizzerias?
Most great pizzerias are the product of one compulsive, obsessive person who lives and dies with every pie. Is it possible for a pizzeria to expand beyond two locations and maintain the quality that makes them great? It's like pizza-obsessed folks have decided that their collective ovens get too hot for them to consider adding a third pizzeria. More

App Giveaway: MadPad by Smule
I would really love the iPad version. I work in a preschool and I know the kids would love to interact with this program. I would record each of the kids making their own noises and have them interact with the app! It would be great to show the parents what music we have created!
Would love to have the iphone version! I plan to make a cooking soundboard theme since Im a chef! How i love hearing those chopping, slicing, grating, crushing tunes while mixing with frying sounds of my best dishes! Going crazy over this one, hope to win a copy! Thanks tipb!
I would really enjoy the ipad version. I am a college art student who has been playing music since I was in grade school. I use my ipad as a DJ tool to produce music and am really interested in this app as a new form of music creation. With all of the sounds that a college dorm provides I think I could really make some awesome mixes.
Would love to have the iphone version! Im a chef by profession and i really want to make a cooking soundboard theme wherein youll hear all the slicing, chopping, grating, boiling, crushing sounds mixed with frying and blending tunes! Hoping to win a copy so that i can play this beat at my food chamber!
get high and go nuts....
my family would LOVE the iphone version. my 11 year old son has autism and is a one man band, a walking synthesizer, never ending, perpetually playing beat box machine. He constantly watches video clips of his favorite cartoon on the internet, not for the show itself, but so he can catch a beat of a sound that tickles his ear on my antiquated casio keyboard from 1989 that has a one syllable record feature that is spotty at best. This iphone app could free him from his endless play, pause, rewind, record, repeat efforts that fulfill an auditory sensory and creative need within him, yet continually frustrate him so, due to the inexact method and obsolete equipment he has to use to create the effects he desires. Please, if you want to free a young boy from technological constraints and unleash creativity beyond imagination, give us the free iphone app.
iPad version. I would love to record my 4 year old and twin 2 year olds doing their daily activities - eating, playing, and all the other crazy stuff they do. That would be great!!

I would love the iphone version. I am the soundguy at my church and would love to make some cool music!
Have to go with the iPad version, love the real state for groovy sounds!
Ok after reading Leannas tweet about only 27 people wanting to win a copy I thought I'd give it a try... I have two very talented teenage daughters who are musicians who would love the iPad version! thank you!
Actually we would be happy with the iphone version also...we all have iphones...either way we would totally use them! Thank You
iPad version would be great to create some visual displays teaching how noises create music.
I'd prefer the iPad version, so I can make some awesome music out of everyday objects, I've always wanted to do this. :D
I would do it with sounds of my camera and lighting equipment ha ha. Hi Leanna!

iPad version. Would use this with lawn equipment. Mowers, weed wackers, chainsaws...

COLUMBIA CITY — After closing its doors in 2007, the former Scott's Food & Pharmacy location has a new tenant — Dunham's Sports.
At a reception hosted by the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation Tuesday, Michigan-based real estate developer Jeff Kerr announced the sports retailer will occupy 60 percent of the building.
Kerr touted the support of the EDC and Columbia City.
"We are delighted to potentially have the opportunity to take a vacancy and hopefully warm it up and make it vibrant," Kerr said.
More than 19,000 square feet will be available for subdividing to other possible tenants.
"We are going to build for Dunham's almost 30,000 square feet in your community. We think from a merchandising point of view the category of retail goods is good, and we think they are going to help us fill the rest of the center," Kerr said.
"They are very nice people and exceptional retailers. Their stores are performing. I think they will be a terrific member of the community."
With 170 stores, Dunham's Sports is one of the largest sporting good chains in the Midwest. The store started in 1937 in Waterford, Mich., which is still the company's home. In its infancy, Dunham's was known as a bait and tackle shop, now the company offers a full line of sporting goods, athletic equipment as well as footwear in 16 states. Currently, Dunham's Sports has stores in Warsaw and Auburn in Northeast Indiana.
"We're hoping to get the contingencies removed from the Kroger (Scott's) deal and get construction underway this March. It would be great if we could open late May or June," Kerr said. "Dunham's would really like it if we could perform, but there has to be several things that have to happen first."
Kerr Real Estate also announced plans for a possible outlot in the southwest corner of the parking lot.
"There is a mass of parking in the corner," said Kerr. "A building could be built in the parking lot, closer to U.S. 30, whether it is a restaurant, a bank or whatever, it would be a free-standing building or buildings that could be constructed without jeopardizing parking requirements."
Although there is room for other businesses, Kerr said there were no specific companies eyeing the spots.
"We are talking to everyone, but we are so early in the process it's too early to develop serious interest," said Kerr. "The good news is we think we have access and the ability to talk to people, but we don't have anybody interested yet."
Restaurants and fashion retailers are two types of companies Kerr hopes to attract. However, other kinds of companies interested in the space would be welcome.
"One advantage to the property is specific for retail," said Kerr. "It is very visible and there is a traffic signal. It has good access, visibility and access to other retail business. These are all great advantages to the space."
Preparing the space for Dunham's occupancy means a vast amount of building repairs. Since the building sat unoccupied for many years, the list of items needing attention span from replacing the mechanical system to upgrading heating and air conditioning units.
"We will be aggressively entertaining quotes from your local contracting trades," Kerr said. "Columbia City has a pretty good local contractor base and Fort Wayne is also a chip shot away."
Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel said having a business fill the vacant building is "critical." He returned Kerr's gratitude with his own appreciation for what the development will bring to the city.
"Dunham's is a great store and it will be new endeavor, but we are all excited to get this project rolling," Daniel said. "We have a lot of great people here, but this is a big deal for Columbia City. It's a big deal, not only the for investment, not only the reuse of the building, but for the jobs and the potential use of the space. I am glad we can celebrate this together and we are getting the next chapter started in Columbia City."
Dunham's recently announced a store would be opening in Fort Wayne across from Glenbrook. Although the Fort Wayne location will be a bit bigger than the Columbia City store, the retailer still had to consider if the buying community would financially support two locations within a close proximity.
"We have done multiple dealings with Dunham's. They won't get involved in the pre-development phase; they prefer to wait until space is ready," said Kerr. "Once they get there they will sponsor a ribbon-cutting, and a good share of their corporate staff will come."

If the trend continues for the last two weeks of 2013, Ohio will record the least deadly year on state roadways ever. So far this year, 945 people have died on Ohio roadways. That's the lowest number since the state began keeping tabs in 1936 when 2,389 people died on Ohio's roadways.
State officials are cautiously optimistic about breaking the record this year but warn that motorist decisions are key factors in making roadways safer.
"Roadway engineering is getting better, vehicle engineering is getting better and law enforcement is getting better. When you combine all of those, you get safer roadways for the traveling public and more people making it home safely to their families each day," said Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Jerry Wray. "In many cases, deadly crashes are preventable and motorists decide how safe the roads are going to be at any given time by driving sober, eliminating distractions and wearing seatbelts."
The most fatal year on Ohio's roadways was 1969 when 2,778 people died. Roadway deaths have seen a steady decline since then and reached its lowest point in 2011 when 1,016 people died. In 2012, that number was 1,122.
ODOT says years and years of information, statistics and knowledge are helping to make better, more informed decisions about its main function – building and maintaining roads. Improved roadway engineering and safer construction standards are helping to fuel the sharp decline in traffic deaths.
In addition to spending billions of dollars each year on roadway maintenance and construction, the department spends more than $100 million each year specifically on safety-related improvements on all public roads – state or local. The department uses the money to complete safety improvements at high-crash or severe-crash locations, realign intersections to eliminate bad visibility, and add turn lanes or new traffic signals to improve safety.
Some additional roadway improvements include:
· Cable barriers to prevent cross-median crashes
· Guardrail upgrades and improvements
· Rumble strips to prevent drivers from leaving the roadway
· Wider pavement markings to improve visibility
· Larger, more reflective warning signs on curves
Along with the Ohio Department of Public Safety, ODOT has made driver safety a priority and will use freeway message signs throughout December to display safety-related messages. On weekends, the signs will say, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" and on weekdays, the signs will say, "Click It or Ticket, Day and Night."
Of the 1,122 traffic deaths recorded last year, 470 were alcohol-related and 419 were drivers or passengers who were not buckled up. These are the two biggest factors currently contributing to traffic deaths in Ohio.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The New Mexico teenager accused of gunning down his family over the weekend had reloaded his guns after the attacks and planned to go to a Wal-Mart and randomly shoot people, authorities said Tuesday.
Instead, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl, they said. The two went to the church where his father had been a pastor, and Griego eventually admitted killing his parents and three younger siblings.
Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said Griego had planned the attack for a week, but its unclear if he ever actually went to a Wal-Mart or why he changed his mind. The teen said he had planned to randomly shoot more people, then die in a shootout with law enforcement, according to authorities.
Griego told detectives he also contemplated killing his girlfriends parents, Houston said at a news conference.
The teen was set to appear in adult court Tuesday on charges of murder and child abuse resulting in death. He was arrested Saturday at his familys home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque.
It wasnt immediately clear if Griegos contact with his girlfriend avoided further bloodshed. But a statement of probable cause says Griego spent time at the church, first talking to his girlfriend and her grandmother and then meeting with the church pastor and a security guard.
Church officials called authorities, and Griego initially told arriving officers he had come home Saturday morning after spending time at a friends house to discover his family dead.
The teen later confessed to shooting his mother because he had anger issues and was annoyed with her, the charging document said.

When it comes to the idea of serving on Dorchester District Twos school board, Brian Mitchum says he has only one true thing on his agenda: serving the districts students.
Mitchum, vice president licensed relationship manager at First Citizens Bank, is in the process of gathering the 250 signatures he needs to file for DD2s school board election by July 15.
In November 2012 the Yes4Schools Dorchester Two launched as a grassroots campaign to promote Dorchester District Twos school improvement referendum. Mitchum served as one of the co-chairs.
I became very interested in the students of DD2 and in getting those new schools, Mitchum said, so I was a big advocate of that.
Mitchum now sees the school board as an opportunity to get involved and make a difference for the districts students. There are four seats up for reelection on the school board, currently held by Gail Hughes, Tanya Robinson, Charlie Stoudenmire and Frances Townsend.
First and foremost Mitchum needs to get on the ballot; those who file for election have to get 250 signatures, which then go to the elections commission to be verified. Once certified Mitchum would be an eligible candidate for DD2s school board election.
I have a passion for the school district, he said. Its a large part of what makes our community so great, and I want to be a part of that process.
Mitchum currently serves as the chair of the DD2 Educational Foundation, which started in May 2013. Mitchum would like to be able to continue working with that foundation as well as the DD2 board.
He is also a current board chair of Summerville DREAM. He has served on the Bethany United Methodist Church Finance Committee and is now on the Bethany Child Development Board.
Mitchum sees himself serving as a voice for parents and teachers, and use his background to make sound decisions.
I dont have a political agenda, he said. I just want to serve on the school board.
Mitchum is married to his wife of 25 years, Loretta, and is a fellow DD2 parent; his son Ellison is a seventh grader at Dubose Middle School and his daughter Emilee is in fifth grade.
Loretta is an active parent at Flowertown Elementary and is an upcoming PTSA president at Dubose Middle.
She spends an awful lot of time volunteering at the schools, he said. She stays out later than I do, sometimes.
Another push for Mitchum to join the school board is to show his children that he cares.
They may not really know it now but when they get older, he said. Im taking an act of interest.
At this point Mitchum feels optimistic about getting his name on the ballot for the Nov. 4 election.
He feels his 12-year experience at First Citizens has prepared him, saying it has taught him how to work well with others and effectively communicate.
Im nervous and excited, he said. Its exciting to talk to people and introduce myself to people I dont know otherwise.

If you're looking for an inexpensive, scary thrill this Hallows Eve try looking in your own backyard. Yadkinville Kustom Scares presents Halloween 2012, a Yadkinville residents tribute to their love for Halloween.
Kustom Scares will be open from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. tonight. It is located at 2004 Brittany Oaks Court in Yadkinville. There is no charge for the event.
Iowa Chapman has been turning his yard into a scene out of a horror movie for over 20 years. He started in the early 1990s at his home in California.
"One night on Halloween a friend of mine came over and he had a Michael Myers mask and he was out in the front yard doing all these crazy things and walking up to cars and people were freaking out," Chapman said. "We thought this was pretty neat because we were scaring all of these people."
That was just the beginning. The next year Chapman and his brother Noah started turning his yard into a graveyard and dressing in costumes to scare their trick or treaters.
Chapman's friends in California started getting in on the action. He said that they had at least eight friends that came out to help decorate and dress in costume Halloween night.
Eventually Chapman moved to North Carolina and Noah stayed behind in California. The scares suffered but both of them tried to keep it going in their respective neighborhoods.
"There was a point that I was here in North Carolina and my brother was still in California and I was doing some small stuff here and he was still setting up at Halloween and once he moved to Mount Airy that's when we really started getting back into it," Chapman said.
Chapman moved to his Yadkinville address in 2008. He said he didn't get a chance to set up his first year. This year Kustom Scares will celebrate its fourth Halloween.
Chapman said that his decorations and props have been accumulating since he started in the 90s but his miniature haunted trail is the new addition to this year's haunt. The 24-foot trail features four "rooms" of bumps and scares in the dark.
"We were going to just do a mausoleum and put in the yard but then I started looking and I realized we could actually make an enclosure on the walkway and it kind of grew from there," Chapman said.
This new addition and other improvements this year set Chapman back $700 to $1,000. He said that it took him a little over a month to complete the set up. Chapman and Noah just completed the finishing touches last week.
Chapman said that his neighborhood is lined with cars Halloween night. He's arranged to have a radio station playing scary stories, music and sound effects for parents to set the mood as the arrive. He says he's hoping for another successful year if the weather clears up for him tonight.
Chapman's neighbors all seem to be agreeable to the madness that ensues at his home on Halloween. He says that a few of his neighbors are new and they both seem to be excited about the event and want to participate.
Chapman said that the main purpose of Kustom Scares is to bring the community together and provide fun and scares.
"We're here to have fun and we'll try to scare people," Chapman said. "It's just enjoyable and a community and family event. That's the whole reason that we do it because we want people to have something to enjoy on Halloween.
"When we were kids this was the kind of thing that we really liked to see and back then it was rare to see something like this. It's fun for us too," Chapman continued.
Those who want to check out Kustom Scares but have small children can still come out. Chapman said that he and the other live actors won't single out the younger kids or any kids who are scared when they arrive.
"If there are really young kids and they are scared and don't want to go through then we'll have candy for them to the side," Chapman said. "We understand that sometimes some of the kids are really afraid just by the appearance of the yard."

Thursday, October 10, 2013
Between 70 and 80 Cane Bay High School met for a group prayer at the school flagpole on Sept. 25.
"See You at the Pole" was started by a youth group in Burleson, TX in 1990 and has since become an international event during the Global Week of Student Prayer.
CBHS Spanish teacher and FCA sponsor Ricky Reyes said students and faculty took part in the event.
"They prayed for their school, country, leaders and our military," he said. "The students were excited to have the event and we were excited to have students who wanted to pray for their school and for their country."
Principal Lee Westberry took a photograph of the event and sent it to a student that she became close with when she was an assistant principal at Stratford High School. Jason Horton, 31, is in the 112th Special Operations Signal Battalion (Airborne) stationed in Afghanistan. A graduate of Stratford in 2000, Horton has kept in touch with Westberry. Horton said that the picture resonated with the troops.
"They were shocked when I showed it to them," she said. "It was warming and (the troops) faces were very happy and we wanted to give back how we could."
The battalion sent back a picture of their own to the school to show their gratitude for the thoughts and prayers.
"When I saw it, it brought me a lot of joy," said Reyes. "Thinking about our military and the many people who have lost loved ones, it's something to pray for, and to know that it touched somebody overseas meant a great deal to me and all the others who saw it."
Horton said that receiving the picture was important to him and that it was a special reminder of the pulse coming from home.
"It was very, very heartfelt," Horton said. "It is nice to see that people still have patriotism and that people are still supporting us."

Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Dominating Bigfoot and Barnett means something...and he's easily won every fight since then, even though he wasn't overly impressive in some of those. But those were fights where he had very little to gain, so you can't blame him at all for fighting safe.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
Given the timing, it just seems like he just wants to fight badly. He was going to get scratched from the February card, and he said he will fight anybody. After the fight, he mentioned that he wants to fight again soon. Also, when he was offered to wait for the winner of Jones/Glover and Gus, he said he'd rather fight. Even if he wins the fight against Feijao, I think he's still going to take another fight instead of waiting for a title shot.
I'm also positive that he's training right now just in case Jones, Glover, Davis or Johnson gets injured.
Zuffa loves guys who'd rather take fights, so I'm sure he will get rewarded.
I honestly figured they would let Hendo heal up and then put together Cormier vs Hendo. Hendo stated he wanted to rest up and then take Weidman's place and fight Machida, why not keep him in his current weight class and heal up and fight Cormier? If Hendo beats Cormier then it's a huge nod into his cap and puts him directly back into the mix, the mix he was in last year before injury. If Cormier beats Hendo then he has a true name under his belt and keeps him active to space out to be ready for the winner of Jones v Gus.
Those who do not appreciate life, do not deserve life.
People get all upset over DC fighting Cavalcante but I didnt hear many people crying about Condit being matched up with Woodley. Condit was the top contender who was matched up with a non top ten guy - Woodley. And who won that fight?

I will draw extensively on my WTF TKD. Spinning hook kicks, and flying mule kicks. Mezmerize with the foot work, lots of Kiyups to confound, and the hogue and head gear offers some protection from bites.
