GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. Test scores are based on 2013-14 OAA/OGT results from the state of Ohio.
|College readiness rating
|The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite ACT scores and ACT participation (% of 11th graders taking the ACT) from 2012-13, and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2011-12.
MethodologyView more details about the GreatSchools rating
State Rating
The Ohio Local Report Card evaluates the academic performance of Ohio's schools based on various components including student achievement, student progress, gap closing, graduation rate, K-3 literacy, and how well high school students are prepared for success. Schools receive a grade for various metrics within each component, where the highest rated schools in the state receive an A and the lowest an F. Beginning in August 2015, schools and districts will receive an overall grade, which combines the component grades.

Comments On Oct 29, 2015:It didn't fit well, ended up bunched up and folded. This would have trapped dirt and moisture and killed the lower shock bearing. I ended up cutting it off before even riding with it. Don't waste your money!

Comments On Aug 19, 2015:Inexpensive insurance. I use the bike for long off-road events so it gets pretty dirty. When I wash the bike, the area still looks new. Peace of mind does not have a price.

Comments On Oct 18, 2013:This thing fits and looks like it was cut and sewn together by a 6th grade Home Economics student. I don't know yet if it'll do anything to increase the life of the lower shock bearing, which already used bearing seals to keep the bearing joint greased, but time will tell.
I can tell you right now it's a waste of money. It doesn't fit very well, looks like an after-thought that a teenager sewed together in their basement, not something of high quality you'd expect from KTM. I mean, how hard can it be to cut and sew a neoprene piece that fits and molds properly to a simply lower PDS linkage. Apparently too difficult for KTM. Really you are paying for the fancy little "KTM" printed on the piece more than anything.
Save your money or sew your own neoprene cover as I imagine anyone with a machine and brain could make one that fits more snug and uniform than this piece.

Future Events:
2017: April 27– May 1, 2017
2018: April 26 – April 30, 2018
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Bowl® is a nationwide academic competition that tests students' knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Middle and high school student teams from diverse backgrounds are comprised of four students, one alternate, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. These teams face-off in a fast-paced question-and-answer format, being tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math.
A featured event at the National Finals for middle school students, the Electric Car Competition, invites students to design, build, and race battery-powered model cars. This competition tests the creative engineering skills of many of the brightest math and science students in the nation as they gain hands-on experience in the automotive design process and with electric battery technology.
The Department of Energy (DOE) created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science and to pursue careers in these fields. More than 250,000 students have participated in the National Science Bowl® throughout its 25-year history, and it is one of the nation's largest science competitions.
Beginning in January 2016, more than 9,000 high school students and 4,500 middle school students will compete in 70 high school and 50 middle school regional Science Bowl tournaments. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science manages the National Science Bowl®, and sponsors the NSB finals competition. The Department of Energy's Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

The actress was bubbling with enthusiasm the day after the highly anticipated adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. In the film, Roberts plays the eldest daughter of a brutally honest matriarch, played by Meryl Streep.
"I've never worked so hard in my life—and I've given birth to three children," Roberts told reporters Tuesday.
The large cast lived near the on-location set in Oklahoma, devoting themselves to capturing Letts' dialogue. The film, to be released Dec. 25, drew mixed reviews at the festival but praise for its performances.

Under the Postal Reorganization Act (Public Law 91–375) [this title], the Postal Rate Commission [now Postal Regulatory Commission] (referred to hereafter as the "Commission") is charged with the establishment and adjustment of fair and equitable rates of postage, fees for postal services, and classifications of mail.

Ruh roh. Looks like the Grand Old Party is having some serious problems.
Couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer guys.
First, Tony Perkins, the Jim Dobson protege who heads up the Family Research Council, calls on members to stop donating to the Republican National Committee.
I've hinted at this before, but now I am saying it–don't give money to the RNC. If you want to put money into the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who you know reflect your values.
Tony's all upset onaccounta the RNC paid $2,000 for some young studs to go to a simulated lesbian bondage strip act. He's also ticked off that the RNC hired Ted Olsen to do some legal work for them — because Olsen, a tried and true conservative — argued in favor of gay marriage before the California Supreme Court in the Prop 8 challenge.
Sarah Palin's ticked at the RNC too. They won't take her name off an invitation to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, where she will be speaking. Seems she thinks the invitation makes it sound like she'll be attending fundraisers, which she won't. She'll just be speaking. And for a handsome fee, I'm sure.
Speaking of Palin, y'gotta love Fox News, which hired her to host an interview show. Only apparently she won't actually be conducting the interviews. Those will be recorded god knows how long ago. LL Cool J got wind of this and protested, so Fox sent out its usually snippy response, referring to Cool as "Mr. Smith," his real name being James Todd Smith, and saying they are surprised he wouldn't want to be a part of something that's so positive and wishing him well with "his fledgling acting career."
Of course, Republicans really have nothing to worry about. Thanks to decades of Republicans screwing with things like education, Americans are now, by and large, pretty stupid, having been trained their entire lives to believe anything Republicans say, no matter how insane or obviously untrue.
Gotta hand to 'em on that. To turn millions of rational, thinking adults into couch potato dunces with no ability whatsoever to look at a situation and think it through — on their own — well, that's quite an accomplishment. It must be true the good guys always finish last.
Also love the Republicans and Teabaggers now falling all over themselves to get distant from the violent, racist, bigoted base. One guy, holding a sign that used the "n" word, actually told reporters he hadn't seen any racist slogans or anything at Tea Party rallies. Maybe that's because he was standing behind his own sign.
Others claim nobody called John Lewis "nigger" or Barney Frank "faggot." They also claimed nobody spit on Emmanuel Cleaver, or they did until a video showing the incident turned up. Nothing like film at 11 to put a stop to that nonsense.
And of course, not a one of the lot said anything about Republican congresscritters egging on the protesters.
They're also falling all over themselves to get distance from the Christian terrorist cell the FBI busted up in Michigan. Well, except for those who aren't. They're saying it's a free speech issue. Never heard any of 'em say anything like that about the underwear bomber. Wonder why?
And somehow, I just don't think building bombs and preparing to kill law enforcement officers is a free speech issue. Call me crazy.
And everybody's talking about CNN's ratings fall. Interesting thing about that. CNN's numbers — the number of views that count in the ratings — hasn't changed much since last fall when the network was actually beating Fox in some of the night time demographic. What has happened is that there are significantly more viewers for cable news now than then — and virtually all of those new viewers are watching Fox.
Funny thing, that change happened almost overnight at the end of 2008. Right after we elected a black guy president. I'm not sayin', y'all, I'm just sayin'.
Now, I don't believe that all Republicans and Teabaggers are scum. I believe that some of them genuinely believe the non-bigoted things they're saying, when they're not being bigoted. But I'm pretty damn sure that most of that number have been snookered.
The problem is that it's pretty clear they oppose things that Democrats support because they fear somebody will get something they don't deserve and they'll have to pay for it. And the problem with that is that they think they're the ones who can decide who's deserving and who's not.
There's the decider for you. How's that fair and balanced-y thing working out for ya?
Which reminds me. The Catholic Church. Boy oh boy. Well, that's probably an inappropriate thing to say, or maybe just a pun. Anyway, they're screwed up the … never mind.
There was a prophet once, kinda Nostradamus-like, who prophesied about the popes who'd be coming up after his pope, Celestine the something. The current pope, Papa Razi? Next to last. Could it be true?
But Bill Donohue, the one-man Catholic League, thinks everything's just fine with the Catholic Church. Like Tony Perkins. Bill is another guy who just can't let go of the gay thing, though.What is it about these conservatives that makes them so obsessed with other people's sex lives anyway? Bill says the church doesn't have a child abuse problem, it has a homosexual problem, because, apparently, all gay men are pedophiles, something the rest of us know isn't true because we've seen the studies that show most pedophiles are straight, even the ones who abuse boys.
But the quivery-joweled Donohue is another one of those mal-informed folks who can't be bothered with facts.
No, that would be just too much trouble. Better to leave facts for the weak. Why mess up a perfectly good tirade with silly little facts, huh? Nobody's gonna believe 'em anyway. We've been taught better than that.

Richmond, VA (Sports Network) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is
expected to attend Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond
International Raceway.
According to a schedule release from his campaign on Friday, Romney is
planning to appear at the racetrack, where he will participate in pre-race
activities. He is scheduled to be in the Commonwealth of Virginia throughout
Saturday, beginning with a campaign rally in Virginia Beach.
In February, Romney appeared at Daytona International Speedway for the season-
opening Daytona 500. The race, however, was postponed one day due to rain.
Richmond is the regular-season-ending race in NASCAR's top series, with the
full 12-driver field for the championship Chase to be determined. The Chase
begins on Sept. 16 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Pharrell Williams, Pitbull, Fergie, Kesha and One Direction are just a few of the celebrities committed to lending their voices to the Water Now campaign.
One in eight people in the world do not have enough to eat. Many poor farmers are unable to grow enough food to feed their own families, much less sell for additional income. That's why we partner with communities to address immediate food needs — but also to grow sustainable food for the future. In 2013 we reached 7.5 million people in 33 countries with food assistance.
World Vision is urging global leaders attending the European Union High-Level Conference on Ebola in Brussels this week to offer increased support for children in affected West African countries. More than 8,000 children have been orphaned in Sierra Leone alone.

Location: Kokomo, Indiana
Company: Pals for Paws
Position: Clinic Director
About Your Company:
Pals for Paws was established in 2000 as a no-kill animal rescue and our mission is to reduce the number of euthanized animals each year. Each year we go to high-kill animal shelters and rescue around 1,000 animals. We started two dog parks in Kokomo and are working hard each day to make the animals have a better life. We are now raising funds to open a low-cost spay/neuter clinic which will provide community members and local shelter and rescues with the option of affordable veterinarian care.
How do you define entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is passion. It is following your dreams and risking everything in order to see your dreams come true. It is finding a solution to a problem and doing the research and work to determine if you have a new business idea. Entrepreneurship is seeing things in a different way. In my organization we knew that something else needed to be done in order to reduce pet overpopulation so we are starting the spay/neuter clinic. Pals for Paws is already established but the problem of animals being euthanized hasn't gone away in 12 years so a new business idea has emerged to bring a solution to the problem.
How did the entrepreneurship program at Ball State help you obtain your current position?
The Ball State Entrepreneurship Center is the main reason why I am living my dream right now. They provided me the knowledge, networking opportunities and focus to put together a business plan and be prepared to start my business after graduation. Since the class sizes are smaller I got a lot of individual attention and help. The staff was always available to talk and help think through a new idea or problem. I was able to go to school and take classes that interested me and helped me create my future. They sent me on trips around the country which allowed me to conduct research and meet new people. I am forever grateful for what the Entrepreneurship Center has given me!
What is your greatest memory of the entrepreneurship program at Ball State?
My greatest memory of the Entrepreneurship Program is all of the people I met and friends I made. Everyone genuinely wants you to succeed and help make your dreams come true. You become very close with everyone since it is such a small, tight group. I loved coming in at 3am to work on my business plan and would see my classmates there working hard to find that one number or fact they needed. I met so many different people through a variety of networking opportunities that life long connections have been made and I now have people I can call to when I need help in the future!

We are thrilled to announce the 2012 Reading Together title, Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea. Originally published in 2009 and now available in paperback, audiobook, ebook, and Spanish language editions, we expect this work of fiction--about the quest of a young Mexican girl to bring a sense of security back to her small village threatened by the increasing presence of drug bandits—will appeal to Reading Together "regulars" as well as new readers who will be inspired by the story, the characters, the humor and the journey. It is beautifully written.
We are also excited to tell you that Urrea will be coming to Kalamazoo on March 6, 2012. We have found him to be wonderfully engaging and personable, and we believe his appearance will kick off Reading Together 2012 in a most memorable way. But don't take it from me. Let Luis speak for himself.

Hi all,
I will be working with shiro and others to update the storyline soon. I need to get 10 wins this week first.
This is kinda out of lt field but for some reason I suspect Aano is justice. It could just be the pony tails with the strap that attaches her stockings upwards...... I don't know just my suspicion. Any thoughts?
I'll start the storyline in a separate thread as the title to this one would be misleading.

Belleville, IL (KSDK) - The St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office charged a 42-year-old East St. Louis man for allegedly stealing a police vehicle and then killing a Belleville woman in a high-speed collision.
According to court documents, the incident happened on the Wednesday, October 3 around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of 70th and State streets. The chase began around 80th and State streets.
Investigators said there was a disturbance over a bus fare and the suspect, identified Ricky Raper, hopped into an East St. Louis police vehicle and crashed into two cars.
Maxsimillion Quarles-Gaston, 41, died in the crash. She was in a vehicle that was struck. The family has asked that any donations be made to 'Christopher Ministries' Grief Support Group, which was founded by Quarles-Gaston in honor of her late son.
Raper was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. If convicted on all three charges, Ricky Raper faces between 27 and 82 years in prison.

"Mr. Selinger says he will balance the budget by 2014, which we know can't happen without one of two things — deep spending cuts or a major tax increase for Manitoba families. It's time for Mr. Selinger to be honest about his plans after this election. Is he misleading Manitobans about his plan to raise taxes or is he misleading Manitobans about his plan to balance the budget in three years?
"It's one or the other and he needs to come clean."

Average Customer Review: based on 40 reviews.Rating: waterborne watch band
Are your waterborne straps made in Australia or are they the crap Amazon sells from China? Also what size will fit a Suunto stinger? Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeff, These are "official" Waterborne Australia straps. Around 2008 Waterborne Australia stopped making them in Australia and moved production to Taiwan, the ones we offer are from the Taiwan factory. It would be a rare find to get the Australia made since it's been out of production for so long. For your Suunto Stinger we would suggest the 3/4 inch band.
Regarding the Waterborne Safety Straps WW-0411: What is the length of these straps? I have one that is 11.5 inches long (not including buckle) and it is too short. I need to know if this one is longer.

I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the street
I actually really like Original Prankster a lot im surprised they don't play it live that much anymore
Also I don't think Columbia has any influence on the songs they make in the studio
I think tha tbey the time colombura got to the last cd on their contraxy, t6hy don't give too muxh input anymopre. stand s to realson. like. firs talbum, lots of input, 8th album... not so much. I think n dexyter is just secretly a katy perry fan and is a pop artist at hear.
otsnot like they are lipsynic ng their shows or nothing. get over it. crea tyice freedom bro. MERICA

I feel like The Offspring is one of those bands that's popular and well-established enough that the label won't need to interfere in order to sell their stuff. Similarly, I think they're also well-established enough that they don't need to be on Fat Wreck Chords. Or any label for that matter. It's 2013, more and more bands are getting away with self-releases.
I can only assume things about their writing process, but the band has always had this confidence about their music that to me doesn't suggest "this song was better before the higher ups told us to change it".
