Michael J. Petrides School
The Michael J. Petrides School is located on 715 Ocean Terrace in Staten Island, New York. It was created by Board of Education officials, and named after Michael J. Petrides. It opened in 1995. The school was created on the former College of Staten Island campus. Students apply to attend the school through a lottery system. However, 8th graders going into high school, who are in the top 2% scoring people for the ELA 7th grade test can get auto-admission if they put Petrides first on their application. Its current principal is Joanne Buckheit.
Petrides educates students from Kindergarten through 12th, or senior year in high school. It has an assistant principal for each grade category (early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school). They are:
- Danielle Bennett - Elementary School (Grades K - 5)
- BettyAnn Souffrin - Middle School (Grades 6-8)
- Anthony Tabbitas - High School (Grades 9-12)
The Petrides School, like many other New York City public schools, also has paraprofessionals, speech therapists, occupational and physical therapists, lunch deans, school aides, and a widely used bus transportation system.
"Set on the grassy, expansive campus of what once was the College of Staten Island, PS 80, the Michael J. Petrides School, enjoys college-level resources like studios, labs, lecture halls, and performance spaces while serving students from kindergarten through high-school graduation. The school opened in 1995, had its first graduating class in 2001, and has graduated its first group to complete all 13 years of schooling in 2008.
The school enrolls about 90-100 pupils per grade from kindergarten through middle school and about 125 per grade in high school, a small enough size that teachers and staff get to know students and families well. In fact, that intimacy is central to Petrides' success, according to Principal Joanne Buckheit. "We get to know our kids and meet their needs," she says, notable in a school that doesn't select applicants for aptitude or achievement. Getting in in the first place may be the toughest challenge: Close to 1,000 students apply for about 75-90 kindergarten seats, and the school receives more than 1,200 applications for the 40 to 50 seats that open in 9th grade.
Teachers work at every academic level, from the youngest grades through high school, and the "seamless" curriculum promises a smooth progression from year to year, with ample opportunity for arts, music, Advanced Placement classes, and electives. Students in grades 6 through 12 are assigned personal laptops and may also take advantage of a wealth of technology resources in the school.
The teaching we saw during our visit was solid and often dynamic. In some classrooms, lessons engaged and energized the students; in a 6th-grade science lesson, for example, a student told us, "we get to be like doctors." Others were compelling, if slightly less controlled, like the woodshop lesson where a couple of fashion-savvy middle-schoolers rejected their safety goggles as uncool.
Although the school describes itself as experimental, on the day we visited we saw, in addition to progressive styles of teaching, some fairly traditional approaches, especially in the high school. A few outstanding teachers clearly make Petrides more than an average school. They enthusiastically challenge their students, whether in a freewheeling discussion of small-town life as portrayed in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird or in a math project that has 4th graders working on student-designed, jigsawed math puzzles.
With hallways named with street signs for famous artists, architects, and inventors; consistently high test scores; and strong, multi-year parent involvement, Petrides feels like its own community. It's a comfortable, comforting place, a sensibility that carries over into college admissions, with students encouraged to explore area colleges (but not pushed toward top-flight Ivy League schools or highly competitive private schools).
Kids we talked to said they felt like they really belonged; many play on multiple teams, are involved in the various clubs and extracurricular activities offered, and expressed real affection for the school, citing a close-knit family feeling. High-school students have the opportunity to travel overseas; in the summer of 2006, students of Italian and Spanish with grades of 90 or better took a school trip to Italy. The cost, $2,700, was borne by parents. Other destinations have included Hungary and Austria, and states including Vermont, Michigan, and Hawaii. Fundraisers are also held to help finance the high school's annual trip through Habitat for Humanity. In addition, high school students can work with younger students in the elementary school, as classroom student mentors.
Special education[edit]
"All classes contain a mix of students of different abilities. District 75, which enrolls children with severe disabilities, has a separate program at the Petrides complex, as part of PS 37."
"Admissions are by lottery for grades K-8. For kindergarten, the school typically receives more than 800 applications for 75-90 seats, of which 15 are reserved for siblings of current students (separate lottery). The handful of open seats in the upper grades are filled by lottery, too. In 9th grade, class sizes get larger and an extra class is added to the grade. Thousands of students apply for a total of 40 to 55 new seats. These seats are filled through the city's "educational option" formula, designed to achieve a mix of low-, average- and high-performing students. (Helen Zelon, October 2006. This school is featured in New York City's Best Public Elementary Schools and NYC's Best Public High Schools: A Parent's Guide.)"
The Petrides School has been known for a reputation of smart and talented students who head off into colleges and universities. An average of 91 students graduate each year with a graduation percentage of 99%. It is also known for offering high-school level courses while students are still in middle school, hence offering more Advanced Placement courses for more students than some other schools. Another attribute of the Petrides School that helps lead to possible success is the small amounts of students per grade (an average of 100,) allowing for personal and supportive relationships to occur between teacher and student.
Within the past, there had been certain discrepancies according to the school's enrollment policy under the past principal. This was highlighted by a noticeable prevalence to kin relations within the student body and noted recommendations within an alleged random basis lottery system for enrollment. These were recorded in a 1998 investigation report. The report also recorded the absence of critical records that would determine the extent of the irregularities.
"...our investigation found that the Petrides School's admission process was neither random nor fair. From the records we found and interviews we conducted, we have determined that school officials created at least five admission channels unrelated to geographic, gender, ethnic, or academic diversity. These channels bore little or no relation to the random lottery method, and were not revealed to the public. Additionally, critical records disappeared: there are no random number lists and hundreds of student applications are missing. This prevented us from discovering the full extent of the enrollment irregularities. But to varying degrees, the admission channels are clearly discernible from the evidence." — Broken Promise, 1998

My wife and I have stayed at the Culpepper Inn twice. The Inn and grounds are well maintained. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Holly, Mike and Melanie are very friendly and welcoming. They even provide breakfast for guests that have to leave early in the morning. Most of the B & B's that we stay at do not have a pool. This one has a wonderful pool that we enjoy hanging out at. We will be back in the future. Jim & Lynda S. Columbia, MD

The Culpepper Inn is a very charming place for a weekend getaway. The Lavender Room was comfy and cozy with a bed that slept really well. The hostess was able to give us wonderful recommendations on things to do in Elizabeth City since our original plans were cancelled due to the rain. We will definitely vistit the bed and breakfast again.
Innkeeper Response
It is guests like you that keep our energy & enthusiasm for this business alive. Thank you!

As a family of 4 with 2 kids under 7 we are perhaps not the traditional bed and breakfast crowd, but at the Culpepper Inn we were pleased to find that families can enjoy the charm of a B&B! While some parts of the inn were off-limits to our little ones, we never felt shunned. There is plenty of peaceful, open space here and I can imagine this being a perfect spot to meet up with old friends for a few days. We stayed in the Carriage House, which had more than enough room for our family. Beware--the food here is a amazing! We were welcomed with pastries and tea, and breakfast was flavorful, fresh, and hearty! Southern hospitality and comfort at their best!
Innkeeper Response
We are very appreciative you took the time to provide such a lovely review. Thank you & please, visit again!

Easter Island Head
He looks great! Very big, and not made of concrete [RA: as we originally guessed], I don't believe. I knocked and he was semi-pliable and hollow.
Definitely just park at the Wendy's at the end of the block. Not a very long walk, maybe 70 yards. But no sidewalk or ADA accessibility.[Taylor, 10/08/2015]
Easter Island Head
No parking! I suggest the dead end road across the street, but be careful crossing, it is on a very busy street.[Gnee, 03/27/2011]
Easter Island Head
A few friends and I decided to check out the Easter Island head during a trip to Milwaukee. We passed it up the first time down the street and had to turn around. After parking at Wendy's we walked down the street to the head. It's pretty impressive and a very well done replica. However, after my husband simply stood on the statue, an angry elderly man shouted from the window at us: "Get off of there! What do you think this is, a public playground?!" And called us a**holes. We quickly ran off in fear of our lives.
So note: this is apparently not a public park. Do not stand on the statue. And do not piss off the man in the house to the right.[Anon, 10/01/2010]
...and then at our next stop, when we simply plucked the emerald cyclops eye from a statue's forehead, the Temple of Doom started to collapse and we ran for our lives!
Easter Island Head
Sweet giant repro of the Easter Island tiki heads.[Grey, 07/31/2009]
Easter Island Head
The Easter Island Head is actually quite interesting, mainly because it looks so out-of-place. I was amazed at how large it is. I would estimate it to be roughly 12 to 15 ft. tall and 6 to 8 ft. wide.
There is a side road across the street from the statue where you can park since there is no parking on the road in front of the statue.[Mark Bertieri, 03/12/2008]

Corporate Advocacy Program™
When I enrolled in DeVry University, I was told by my recruiter that I would be a computer engineer upon completion of the program. I explained to her that I wanted to pursue a degree in a career field that would lead me to achieve my goal of buying a home and creating a family. She said this field was the most challenging career choice at the university. She also stated, with this degree, I would be graduating among the elite, and that I should have no problem getting employment, and eventually achieving my goal. After talking with her, I enrolled with expectations of becoming a computer engineer. In my mind, I thought I would be qualified to be placed in a position that would lead to management. I expected to learn all aspects of computer science and expected to gain a solid understanding of circuit theory and electronic circuits. I also expected to command a salary that would be commensurate to my education. As I left her office, I envisioned driving a fine car, living in a plush home, creating and supporting a family, and sending my children to the finest schools. I exhaled as I walked to my car thinking, I've finally made a choice that was right, and I felt good about that choice.
However, the reality of the situation was that I would not be a computer engineer but a computer engineering technician. DeVry University instead teaches students the skills to become a computer engineering technician.
With this knowledge, I asked myself, how does a computer engineering degree program differ from a computer engineering technology program?
In my research, I discovered the computer engineering degree program emphasizes design and invention whereas the computer engineering technology program emphasizes maintenance and repair.
Course titles are often similar in the computer engineer and computer engineering technology programs but course content differs considerably. Since the computer engineering program emphasizes design and invention, it requires considerably more in-depth understanding at a more fundamental level. This implies that the computer engineering program contains more science and mathematics and uses that science and mathematics in the engineering course work. The computer engineering technology program has a different emphasis that requires more hands-on activity and lab work.
For example, if you wanted your computer network repaired, you would ask a technician to do that since that is what he is trained to do. On the other hand, if you were designing a new computer network, you would ask an engineer to do that because she has the fundamentals and background necessary for design.
So, in reality, I would not be qualified upon graduation for placement in a position of management. As a technician, I would not learn all aspects of computer science and would not gain a complete understanding of circuit theory and electronic circuits. The salary earned would be commensurate to a technician and not an engineer. In order to achieve the dream of driving a fine car, living in a plush home, creating and supporting a family, and sending my children to the finest schools, I would have to further my education and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree. The reality of the situation is that I should have not taken the word of the DeVry University recruiter. I should have instead, invested more time researching my decision.
When I enrolled at DeVry University, I was told that upon completion of my degree, I would be a computer engineer. The reality of the situation is that the degree offered, was not a computer engineering degree, but instead a computer engineering technician degree. I also discovered that to make an informed decision, I need to do extensive research and compare the gathered information to form an informed conclusion.
I wrote this as an English paper and now the instructor, Professor Jones, refuses to give me a grade for the entire class.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
DeVry does mislead people
AUTHOR: Dannyd072009 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 26, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Sorry to hear about your problems with DeVry Derryl. This probably won't make you feel any better, but you are NOT an isolated case. Unfortunately not everyone is willing to go public as you have.
First of all, keep in mind that these "recruiters", "admissions advisors", "enrollment counselors" etc. are really just salespeople hired by DeVry to sell you on going to school at their facility, on campus or online. They are buy no means "admissions advisors" in the normal tradition.
They do a great job in selling the dream as you found out. Most of DeVry's "recruiters" come from multi level marketing backgrounds and that is where the "selling the dream" comes from. Unfortunately it remains a dream long after you enroll, graduate and are stuckw ith a large $45,000 to $75,000 educational tab that DOES NOT deliver on it's promises. Of course you already know this.
In defense of these DeVry salepeople, many of them are well meaning, but brainwashed by DeVry, the DeVry trainers, management, ADA's etc. Many actually believe in ehat they say, others are just typical salespeople who are out to make a sale, close the deal irregardless if whether the program works for the student or not.
The good news is that the right people have been listening. A big meeting is scheduled in June to discuss these for profit schools like DeVry, University Of Phoenix, ITT and others:
The Obama adminsitrationis looking into this and most people see the hard fist of the law coming down. If it is any consolation to you, it is people like you who have brought this to the attention of the government.
I don't know if you follow the stock market at all, but this is why DV, APOL, ESI and other educ stocks have been tanking for weeks and will probably see an even bigger selloff in June.
To anyone looking to enroll in one of these schools, I would recommend that you at least wait untill after the meeting in June. However, I would strongly recommend a community or state school in lieu on DeVry or their peers who pretty much operate the same way.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You may have saved several people a very miserable experience with DeVry.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Unrealistic expectations....
SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 23, 2006POSTED: Thursday, February 23, 2006
My husband is a computer engineer and has been for some time. While it certainly is possible to live a richer lifestyle it isn't even close to being a given. It depends a great deal on where you live, where you work, your work history and practical experience, as well as what particular job area you are employed in (networking, etc).
I think that it is great that you took the time to find out the differences between a technician and an engineer. What I have seen happen many times is that someone who is working at a tech level will educate themselves through classes or life experiences and move into an engineer position.
"I should have instead, invested more time researching my decision."
I think you summed it up perfectly. I would like to add that any information you have learned taking computer tech classes will not be wasted.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Fired RNC staffer led program to recruit young donors

The Republican National Committee staff member who was fired for authorizing a nearly $2,000 payment for a night out at a bondage-themed club in California was in charge of a GOP program aimed at cultivating major donors younger than 45, Republicans familiar with the details of the case said Tuesday.
Allison Meyers, director of the Young Eagles program, asked the RNC to reimburse a GOP consultant for the costs of a Jan. 31 after-party event for young Republicans at Voyeur in West Hollywood. Meyers's identity was first reported by the National Journal's Hotline.
The expense, which was detailed on federal reports, has become a major embarrassment for the RNC and its high-profile chairman, Michael S. Steele, at a time when the GOP is hoping to capitalize on an energized conservative base for this year's midterm elections. The committee said late Monday that it had fired an unnamed staffer over the incident; spokesman Doug Heye declined to say Tuesday whether Meyers was that staffer.
The Voyeur visit took place after an official Young Eagles dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel, attended by about 50 donors, according to the RNC and other officials. Hotline, citing unidentified sources, said Meyers organized the official RNC event and the after-party at the club. About a dozen Republicans, including Meyers, attended the Voyeur gathering, GOP officials said.
One of those at the club was Erik Brown, whose company, Dynamic Marketing, has earned about $160,000 from GOP campaigns.
Party officials said that Meyers tried to put the $1,946.25 tab on a credit card but was rejected; Meyers then asked Brown to cover the bill and promised that the RNC would reimburse him, these officials said.
Brown has not responded to e-mails and telephone messages seeking comment.
Brown has already lost business since his name became linked to the incident. Chuck DeVore, a conservative Republican Senate candidate in California, announced Monday that he was severing ties with Brown and Dynamic Marketing, which has offices in Washington and Los Angeles.

William / Mexico
Hi. My name is William and I'm from Mexico City. The question is what is a great dish from my country?
OK, one of the best dishes of my country is Pozole. Pozole comes with big pieces of corn. This is chicken soup with a lot of spices but personally I like taco de solero. This is not a dish but it's really, really good so if you are in Mexico you have to ask for Pozole or taco de solero. Thanks.

The Murray State Racers put a cap on the 2013-14 season with a championship win in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in a 65-57 win over the Yale Bulldogs at the CFSB Center in Murray, Ky.
The Racers (23-11) won four games in the CIT to become the sixth champion of the event that began in 2009 and just the second-ever to do it on their home court.
The game started with amazing energy from a revved up crowd at the CFSB and the Racers getting out to a 7-0 lead. Despite the early lead, the Racers were put to a test by a very game Yale (19-14) team. The Bulldogs kept pace with the Racers and ended the half with a 7-3 run to cut the MSU lead to 27-26 at the intermission.
In the second half, the Bulldogs carried over that momentum and led early in the stanza at 28-27. However, the Racers quickly turned the tables with a 10-0 run to lead by 11 at 46-35 with 10 minutes to play. Yale would simply not go away as it answered with its own 10-0 run, cutting the lead to a single point with just over seven minutes left in the contest.
The Racers pushed through and made seven of nine free throws in the final two minutes to hold on for the 8-point win. Playing a key factor in the victory was a record-tying 14 blocks by MSU as Jarvis Williams and Jonathan Fairell each had five for their career-highs.
Cameron Payne led MSU with 24 points, while Jarvis Williams added 16 by going 8-for-8 from the field to go along with five blocks. Fairell added nine rebounds to his five blocks, while Payne pulled down seven boards.
Payne and Williams scored 40 of MSU's 65 points.
Following the game, Payne was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament, while Williams and Yale's Justin Sears and Javier Duren were named to the All-Tournament team.
Game Notes
The Racers claimed their first post-season title of any kind since winning the 2012 OVC Tournament. The win was their first non-OVC tournament championship since winning the Great Alaska Shootout in 2011.
MSU is the first CIT champion to win on its home court since Santa Clara did it in 2011. In the last two CIT's, East Carolina had won at Weber State last year and Mercer won at Utah State in 2012. This year was the sixth staging of the CIT after it was launched in 2009.
The Racers displayed some great defense in their five-game run to the CIT title. MSU held teams to 66.0 points per game and recorded 36 blocked shots and 37 steals. Opponents only managed 38 percent from the field against the Racers including 29 percent from 3-point range.
Cameron Payne, the CIT MVP, scored 20.6 points per game, grabbed 5.2 rebounds and dished out 5.0 assists. Jarvis Williams, named to the CIT All-Tournament Team, scored 17.2 ppg and grabbed 7.4 rebounds. He shot an amazing 71 percent from the field on 35-of-49 shots. Williams also blocked 17 shots.
The Racers set a record for most home games played in a season with 18. MSU was 17-1 at home this season with their only loss coming to Middle Tennessee (Nov. 26). MSU will carry a 15-game win streak into the 2014-15 season. The Racers are 39-6 at home in the Prohm era.
MSU Head Coach Steve Prohm is 75-23 in his three seasons with the Racers for a winning percentage of .765.
MSU's five-game win streak to finish the season matches their longest of the season. MSU also won five in a row from Jan. 2-16.
Ending a season is a rare event and today marks the first time MSU has done this since 1978. Although the last time it happened, it was because of a poor season. MSU was 8-17 in 1977-78 and didn't qualify for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament with a mark of 4-10. On Feb. 25, the Racers ended the season with an 85-84 win over Austin Peay at Racer Arena.
Cameron Payne, the second MSU freshman to score 500 points, had 24 tonight and finished with 572 for 24th place on the MSU all-time single-season list. Lamont Sleets was the first MSU freshman to do it with 522 points in the 1979-80 season.
Payne finished second on the assist list with 185. Chad Townsend (1996-97) has the top spot with 212.

Brooklyn Bourgeoisie Battle: Park Slope Food Coop v. Barneys Co-op
The manager of the Park Slope Food Coop — symbol of utopian Brooklyn or Slope superiority, depending on your take — is speaking out about the impending arrival of Barney's Co-op on Atlantic Avenue.
The Brooklyn Paper reports that coop manager Joe Holtz is accusing Barney's of illegally using the term 'co-op', and cites New York's Cooperative Corporations law, which states that "the term 'cooperative'… or any abbreviation, variation or similitude thereof, shall not be used as, or in, a name except by a corporation defined in this chapter," the law states. "Any cooperative corporation may sue for an injunction against such prohibited use of the term."
The Food Coop is a members-only organization that requires members to work shifts at the store to retain their shopping priveleges. Barney's Co-op, now in its 25th year, is a younger, more edgy version of the original Midtown department store. Membership is not required to purchase the Co-op's Sigerson Morrison woven sandal or Ksubi spray-on skinny zip jeans in Grease (yours for $69 on sale), though having a high credit-card limit may prove helpful.
"Barney's misuse of the word dilutes this effort and effectively undermines our business model and, for lack of a better concept, 'brand,'" said Holtz in a letter to the paper.
Barneys says the store name, which is trademarked, is not in violation of the law, though one lawyer told the paper that Holtz could bring a case against the retailer. If found in violation, the company would have to pay up to $500 in penalties — about the price of one Marc by Marc Jacobs resort tote.

Michigan State Police are investigating the death of an inmate at the Jackson County Jail. It happened last Friday.
Jackson county sheriff's officials say 44-year-old Calvin Crawford was found in his cell by a jail staff deputy.
The deputy immediately performed first aid, and then Crawford was transported to Foote Hospital where he later died.
According to the sheriff's report, it's believed that Crawford's death may have been self-inflicted.
Crawford was in jail on multiple felony charges.

Drew Smith didn't expect to become a fraternity brother in the hospital.
Members of UF's chapter of Theta Chi surprised the 20-year-old history sophomore at Shands at UF Wednesday night with a personal initiation ceremony.
Smith was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia during his senior year of high school. But even after beating cancer in July 2011, his immune system is still weak. He checked into the hospital Tuesday night for stomach pain.
Smith transferred to UF in January and got a bid from Theta Chi. He worked his way up to the title of pledge class president.
"They have good things coming in the next couple of years, and I want to be a part of that," Smith said.
Finance senior Travis Johnson, 21, said he chose Smith to be his little brother because he saw Smith's potential and strength. When he learned Smith might not be released in time for the initiation ceremony, Johnson coordinated the surprise with Smith's mother.
Nine brothers dressed in black blazers and red ties to initiate Smith as the first brother of his pledge class — from his hospital bed.
"Everyone in the brotherhood felt he deserved it," Johnson said.
Smith plans to leave the hospital today. He's looking forward to attending the fraternity's formal this weekend.
"I worked way too hard this semester to not go," he said.

- KingShit said...March 30, 2015 at 7:19 PMFirst and Foremost, Before I Mildly Go in on the Topic your $eeking... Let's get One thing Straight. The Value of Real Words being Spoken these days means Shit Based on the Fact that people Defecate Words about Aimlessly. 2 Examples... First, the Manuscripts of Lies and Deceit Cloaked as Hope and Prosperity in the Attempts to Manipulate Feeble female Mind's out of Money with no Real Cause. And second, the words a Hoe uses to Sugar Coat her Past, Present, and Future Situations to Remain Sain and Distant from REAL Reality. Self Proclaimed Pimps play Games and FOLLOW Rules(Comparable to a Child). And Associated with a game comes the Possibility of Loss(Not Winning), from an Opponent, or even Worse, ones Own self. Fucking with Lames, and/or, Thinking you can Really go at this shit Alone, Decreases the Distance to Inevitably Failing and/or a Tragedy. But Under the Leadership and Guidance of some Real King Shit, Rules(Limitations) are Broken(Exceeded), and by Any means Necessary We Accomplish that which We Intended. An Empire is First a Thought. And Loss never Penetrates the mind of a King, therefore Never allowing the Possibility of defeat. I'm All about, and only about, Making Money for the Purpose of Creating other Lucrative Opportunities for Future Financial Freedom. I Don't Think, I Know. I Don't try, I Do. Like Nike, And unlike your Current situation, I Make shit Happen. When it comes to the Business and lifestyles of an escort, I Dedicate my thoughts and efforts ascertaining the most Productive and up to date Technological concepts to Maximize your Potential and Profit. Online is Everything Today, and a part time Hoe ain't shit. Don't let my Creative and Greatly Articulated writing style fool you. Odds are the length and Intricacies of my ad Diverted you to something Simple, Elegant, Google image filled and easy to Understand. Making Real Money Requires one to be Very Well Rounded, which in conclusion keeps Squares Out your Circle. I Need Soldiers. Military Minded Hoes. And Soldiers don't give 50% on the Battlefield. At least Not those who Survive the Carnage. I'm sure you catch my Drift by now. If not Keep it Pushing.This ain't what you want. Being Broke with a Broke nigga is. I'm a Savage in these Streets.

The health care provider denied any wrongdoing and cited a problem with a computer glitch by the state for the overpayments.
The settlement, announced by Attorney General Samuel S. Olens, requires the hospital system to pay a lump sum $2.717 million to the state Department of Community Health to settle all possible claims related to the excessive Medicaid overbilling and reimbursements.
The health care provider agreed to pay an additional $2,500 to defray costs of the 11-month investigation.
The hospitals cooperated fully with the state's investigation and implemented corrective actions to ensure similar billing problems do not happen again, the state said.
The probe focused on "cross-over'' claims made for patients who are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid.
The investigation found the hospital providers filed claims that did not reflect the full amount of Medicare prior payments, which allowed the providers to receive excessive Medicaid reimbursements.

Monday, February 07, 2011Andy Wood 02/07/11 05:18 PM,Many professional audio manufacturers are now actively producing their own proprietary network connection and control systems, thus enabling users to create and control products within the audio chain. While not a particularly new concept (Crown, for example, started the trend in the 1990s with the IQ computer control system for its amplifiers), recent years have seen a plethora of new solutions.

When the students arrive at Pattengill Middle School in Lansing after Labor Day, they'll be dressed much differently than when they left.
The school has a strict new dress code for the fall, modeled on one Dwight Rich Middle School already uses.
At Pattengill, all students will wear polo shirts in red, white, navy, light blue, and black. On the bottom, students can wear chinos or Dockers in beige, brown, black, or navy blue. Girls can wear knee length skirts or skorts in those same colors.
The administration says it will eliminate the problems they've had with inappropriate clothing in recent years. Pattengill's moving into a new building in January, and they say now is the time to make a change for the better.
"Your focus here at school is learning," says Asst. Principal Michael Boles. "New building, new clothes, it just fits."

Some mainly high clouds associated with a weak cold front passing slowly through the Washington metro area have dimmed the bright sunshine this afternoon, but temperatures are well into the mid 80s. Humidity has increased from recent days, with dewpoints in the upper 50s and low 60s. Radar is nearly clear, although a very small shower appeared early in the afternoon just north of the Mason-Dixon line and west of Hancock, MD. It has now expanded across Maryland into the panhandle of West Virginia.
Tonight and Tomorrow
Lows will be in the mid 60s under partly cloudy skies tonight. There is a remote chance of an isolated shower. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 80s.
Tropical Beat: How now, Ophelia!
As Jason noted earlier, Ophelia was a tropical storm with 65 mph maximum winds, but it has been upgraded to a hurricane with 75 mph winds as of 5pm. It is moving slowly northeast for now, so tropical storm warnings and watches have been canceled. Interests from northern Florida to the Carolinas need to be alert, however, since the storm still has the potential to regain strength and loop back to the coast. For the first time with this storm, the DC area is now in the "egg of uncertainty" for the track.
Maria still has tropical characteristics but is no longer a hurricane. It is moving northeast in the far northern Atlantic with maximum winds of 60 mph and should be near Iceland as an extratropical storm by Tuesday.
Nate was also downgraded to a tropical storm with winds of 65 mph. It is moving east-northeast at a brisk 24 mph on a track which should eventually take it west of the Azores.
Elsewhere, no other tropical storm formation is expected through Saturday.
Shelter From the Storm
Most broadcast and cable networks will carry a Katrina benefit telethon "Shelter From the Storm" from 8 to 9 tonight. Donations will be collected on behalf of the Red Cross and Salvation Army.
Don't forget to help the unsung heroes of the National Weather Service through the NWSEO Disaster Assistance Fund.
CNN reports that Katrina charity scams have mushroomed, especially on the web.

I recently migrated my blog to a new host, retaining the same URL.
I can see the Admin page, but the Home page shows the index.html, and if I go to http://agro.biodiver.se/index.php it seems to default to the index.html.
From the Posts page, I noticed that I can see a preview, for example at http://agro.biodiver.se/2012/10/brainfood-host-pathogen-genomics-maize-teosinte-system/?preview=true and I can see the page when I remove the part after the ? too.
It seems to be only the front page at http://agro.biodiver.se that will not display.
Any ideas?

After picking up two wins in its first two days at the Fort Walton Beach Bash, the Washington County Commander baseball team was unable to keep its momentum, dropping two of its final three games in the Florida tournament.
The Commanders defeated Crittenden County last Wednesday by a score of 13-6 but lost their last two games against Hopkins County Central and Jeffersontown.
They call him "The Hammer."
No, not M.C. Hammer, but someone even more special – Marshall Simpson.
Simpson, 55, has worked for the United States Postal Service since 1982 and has delivered mail in Springfield since 1993. For 23 years, he has had the same route, approximately 25,000 steps and 550 stops, in Springfield.
Washington County suffered a heavy loss last week when two of its residents were killed in a head-on collision that injured two others.
According to a press release from the Nelson County Sheriff's Office, the wreck, which occurred near the county line on Bardstown Road on April 8, killed Richard Alex Hensley, 17, of Willisburg, and James B. Cambron, 56, of Springfield.
Just one year after Brandon Smith joined the Washington County High School Commander football team, he signed his letter of intent last week to join a new team: the Campbellsville University Tigers.
Even though he just has one season of high school football under his belt, Smith, who will be playing defensive end at Campbellsville, believes that his short time as a Commander will serve him well in transitioning to play at the collegiate level.
The Washington County Commander tennis team was busy prior to taking a brief hiatus during spring break, recently playing in three matches against Adair County, Taylor County and Thomas Nelson.
Adair County
The Washington County Commanders continue to close in on their season goal of going undefeated in regular-season district play after defeating district foes Bethlehem and Thomas Nelson.
From playing in the 12th Region All "A" Classic to traveling to Florida to participate in the Fort Walton Beach Bash, the Washington County Commanderettes have had a busy week.
After picking up a big 13-0 win against Burgin in its first-round game, WC couldn't capitalize in the championship game of the 12th Region All "A" Classic against Somerset, losing 12-2 on Friday night.
"Without agriculture, what would we have?"
Joe Carpenter posed this question as he accepted his Ag Achievement Award during the annual Springfield-Washington County Chamber of Commerce banquet.
And for the past 30-plus years, Carpenter has been doing his part in raising awareness about just how much of an impact that agriculture has had on the Washington County community.
Twenty-nine students at Washington County High School are taking classes that many of their parents and grandparents would have jumped through hoops for during their tenure in high school – aerospace science.
According Dawn Curtsinger, a science teacher at WCHS, the aerospace program, which is designed to help students gain a foot in the industry after they graduate, took flight at the beginning of the school year.
A program that has been helping raise money for schools in Nelson County for years will be making its way to Washington County this year.
On Saturday, April 16, Comedy Caravan's "FUNdrai$ing with Laughter" Program will be at Washington County High School as part of an effort to raise funds for Project Graduation.

First and foremost, I DO NOT OWN BPI Brand LLC and do not even work in payroll. I am simply an account manager. However if you call me I would be more than happy to assist you in resolving your issue.
If I have hired you being that I am an account manager with them then I am sure you have my contact information and are more than welcome to reach out to me.
$300.00 dollars is owed to you you state however if I do not know who you are I obviously cannot assist you.
Get the facts straight before you slander someone's name though b/c you may have a lawsuit on your hands from myself being that I am not the person who owns this company.
Thank you and patiently waiting for you call:)

I'm trying to gather some opinions for a school project and would greatly appreciate your help. How do you feel about spanking and why? I would also apreciate comments why some have decided to discipline their child differenly from how they were disciplined as a child. TIA!
Spanking X posted
Personally I really wasn't spanked as a child. I remember being spanked maybe 3 times. Each time I actually got spanked I can still remember the reason behind it and now that I'm a parent I see why they did it.
As for me and my children I don't really like to spank them since I don't want them to think "hitting" is an appropriate way of communication. However that being said I do believe that children at about 1-2 don't really fully understand when they are spoken to about why not to do things. So for my 14 month old I do slap his hand when he gets into things I've asked him not to grab, I only do this once talking and telling him hasn't worked. The other thing I've learned with both my boys is that if I was to spank/slap their hand or tushy it's never in anger. I don't want them to associate my actions with anger. Plus I always explain why I did what I did after they calm down.
For my 2 year old soon to be 3yrs old time outs only seem to make him more aggrevated. So I don't do this anymore, maybe if I try that again it will work but it hasn't in the past.

Mikel Parr (09/25/09) & Caleb Alexzandro (05/27/11)
I was spanked a few times when I was little and I have spanked my daughter (mostly if whatever she is doing is a danger and nothing else will work). The only example I have is when I was putting groceries into the car, she wandered away (not more than 2 feet) but was in the parking lot and cars couldn't see her, so I spanked her and told her to never go in the street/parking lot without holding my hand. Never happened again. I have slapped her hand for things that are 'no touches' but once she was 10 months old she knew what was okay to touch and not okay.

I wasn't spanked as a child and I really never intended on spanking my kids, but I found that on rare occassions I have no choice. I don't spank often and honestly I don't think I spank hard, but I have spanked my kids.
Audrey Elizabeth arrived on March 16th, 2009. Added to Amy Lynn (1/1/98), Julia Raelynn (7/6/98) and Tiffany Kei (8/13/99)
Welcome to the family!
I was spanked as a child and came across a kindergarten psychological profile that was done on me at the time. Apparantly a psychology student did a full profile of me for her thesis. Here is a direct quote from it.
"I asked Caite if she was spanked at home, she said yes, I asked her why she got spanked. She responded "I did something bad so now daddy can do something bad" I don't think she grasped the concept."
That made me realize that I had heard spanking was bad from school or somewhere else and this is how I justified it in my 5 year old mind. I doubt I got much from spanking as far as life lessons
Other than those two rare incidents, distraction/pull away/removal method has worked.
I was spanked (rarely, but with a Rubbermaid spatula) as a child. I gave in and spanked my son one time. The reality is, too, that I often think about hitting my kid when he puts my knickers in a major twist, but I never will again. I realized that it is all about humiliation. That is not a good teaching tool.
My rubric for figuring this out is this: If my DS asked me to do something and I refused, or I got mad about something, and his response was to hit me, the police would be involved. Why do children deserve less?
Call it what you will: swat, smack, spank, hit, etc. It is an assault.
She gave me life and milk from her breasts, and I gave her a lanyard. --Billy Collins "The Lanyard"
I was hardly ever spanked but I will spank if necessary. I believe in what the Bible says, that we need to spank sometimes - but with love and wisdom. Plus there are strict laws in this country to protect kids from parents that abuse and not just spank a little on the bottom - not in anger. I REALLY hope my lil girl does not require spanking, but if she does I will, especially if it's to save her life, i.e. constantly trying to run into traffic or something.
I live in Europe and although spanking is not illegal in my country, it is outlawed in many others and considered abnormal where I live.
The Swedes started it and they did it well. Parents who spanked their kids were not brought to the criminal justice system, but to the civil system instead. Outcomes were often mandatory counselling, parenting classes and other tools. In some cases, criminal action was taken, when hitting had became actual abuse.
Now the first children who were raised 'spank-free' (or any other form of corporal punishment) are now raising children themselves. And it's working. It's basically a society of well-adjusted people who have a low crime rate, good health, compassion and high self-esteem.
I don't think spanking is ever a good tool of parenting. I spanked my ODD and regret it. I know now that it was a lack of skills, and I am raising this LO in an environment completely free of any kind of physical intimidation.
DH (37) and ME (34) married in 1995.
DD Madeline 07/09 and Mason will debut in 05/12
My parents gave the occasional swat, but I do not and will never spank my kids. No swats on the hand, no swats, no anything. If anyone else in their life hit them for misbehavior, there would be a legal claim. Why are parents held to a different standard? Parents are supposed to be the safe haven, and children need to know that they can make mistakes without fear of being hurt. I think they learn a lot more from being corrected gently or, more importantly, from being given safe places to explore so that they don't get into too much trouble in the first place.
Various recent studies, including a massive meta-analysis of years of previous study, have proven that spanking results in psychological harm. I can screw up my kids in plenty of other ways. : ) This one is completely preventable.

By SUSANNE KAPPLER, Fort Jackson LeaderOctober 1, 2009
Eight civilian employees were recognized by Col. Lillian Dixon, garrison commander, during Fort Jackson's Employee of the Month ceremony at the Solomon Center Tuesday.
It was the first time that garrison employees who have distinguished themselves were recognized in a public ceremony. Employees selected from the Directorate of Human Resources and the Directorate of Logistics received a $250 performance award, a certificate of appreciation and a garrison coin.
"In my opinion, everybody in garrison is an outstanding employee. And if I had enough money to recognize everybody, I would," Dixon told the crowd. "But everybody's got a chance to get the recognition. It's all about your performance, your initiative, your drive."
Aaron Hayes, chief of the Plans, Analysis and Integration Office, who organized the event, explained that each month, employees from one directorate or organization will be selected. DHR was the highlighted directorate for August; DOL was selected for September.
"We have some great employees doing a lot of great things, so what (we) chose to do was to pick a directorate or an office per month and using their own internal selection procedures to pick some outstanding employees to present to the rest of the garrison and to Fort Jackson," Hayes said.
Hayes added that many organizations have been recognizing employees internally, but the new ceremony would allow outstanding performers to be acknowledged in a public forum.
Robert Youmans, DHR director, said the employees selected from his directorate had to meet the highest standards.
"These employees have gone through a rigorous process in being nominated and selected for the recognition here today," Youmans said. "The criterion is very, very simple. We tell the employees in DHR that every two weeks, you receive a check to perform your duties. In order to be recognized in our employee recognition program, you have to perform above and beyond your regular job."
Dixon said the recognition is a way to say, 'Thank you,' for the sacrifices made by garrison employees.
"I wish I could do so much more, but because of their hard work, and because of their love for the Soldiers, I felt like it was time for us to give back to civilians," she said.
Melody Porter, human resources assistant with DHR, expressed her gratitude for being selected.
"Receiving the garrison employee of the month award made me feel very appreciated," Porter said. "I feel that my efforts are not being overlooked and that ... it is recognized that helping Soldiers is and will always remain first and foremost for me."
The employees will also be honored during Friday's graduation at Hilton Field. Future Employee of the Month ceremonies will be scheduled quarterly.
The following garrison employees were recognized for their exemplary services:
Directorate of Human Resources:
-- Jennifer Garrison
-- Michelle Pointer
-- Melody Porter
-- Hope Stephens
Directorate of Logistics:
--Aca,!'Samuel McEady
-- Roger E. Davis
-- Eugenia Parks
-- Mary Perry

To the Editor:—
It is becoming more frequently recognized that the drinking driver plays a far larger role in our traffic death and injury problem than has been apparent. This is brought out in the following tabulation:Two immediate steps are (1) an implied consenttype law in every state (New York, Kansas, Idaho, Utah, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, and Vermont already have this law), which will lead to greatly increased chemical testing for alcohol, and (2) legislation which reduces the prima facie level of intoxication from the present unrealistic 0.15% to the more effective figure of 0.10%. New York is the only state with legislation of the latter type at the moment. While the table represents a broad span of years and a broad geographical distribution, we need more and wider data.

Northeast Ohio—home to four major metropolitan areas, more than 4 million people and a $180 billion regional economy—faced in 2004 what the Cleveland Plain Dealer dubbed a "Quiet Crisis." Employment growth in the region had lagged the rest of the nation for the prior two decades and manufacturing's share of total regional employment had fallen by half. The population was declining and poverty was on the rise, particularly in urban areas.
Community and private foundations were waging an uphill battle responding to the increasing needs for social services that were straining the resources of nonprofits in the region. Philanthropic organizations were quickly coming to the realization that the only way to meaningfully address the challenges of poverty and unemployment would be through a more holistic effort to promote regional economic opportunity.
In response, a set of philanthropic institutions from across Northeast Ohio launched the Fund for Our Economic Future (the "Fund") in 2004 to promote a regional approach for increasing economic prosperity and opportunity.
The original 28 Fund members committed a total of $30 million over three years to begin restoring regional economic competitiveness through pooled grantmaking, research and convening.
This unprecedented regional collaboration has grown in strength over time. The Fund now includes more than 50 voting members (see Appendix), which now go beyond philanthropic institutions and include businesses, nonprofits, government stakeholders and higher education institutions. Funders have pooled more than $90 million and invested nearly twice that amount through economic development grants made by their individual organizations, including $141 million in grants in 2011 and 2012. Plus, the Fund has helped the region attract more than $100 million in federal and state support for its strategies.
The Fund's investments and strategic guidance since 2004 have spurred the development of the region's innovation ecosystem and advanced new industries. In 2011, Northeast Ohio ranked second in the country in job growth and its unemployment rate of 7.4 percent outperformed the national average of 8.5 percent. By the end of 2012, the Fund's efforts had contributed to more than 12,000 new jobs, nearly $400 million in new payroll generated through new businesses, and almost $2.2 billion in new capital to sustain existing businesses and grow new economic activity. Encouragingly, the results appear to be compounding: More than half of the gains in these metrics occurred between 2010 and 2012.
While there's clear evidence of initial progress, the region still faces enormous economic challenges. Despite recent decreases in the unemployment rate, it has not returned to prerecession levels and many expect it won't for several years. Furthermore, household income in the region has declined by 8 percent since the recession began in 2007 and 12 percent over the past decade. Those losses haven't been distributed equally; while the region's wealthiest households have seen incomes increase by an average of 22 percent over the past decade, the number of families living in poverty has increased dramatically, especially in the metro areas.
In order to better understand its impact to date and chart its future strategy, the Fund engaged the research and consulting firm FutureWorks to conduct a strategic review. The assessment spotlighted the accomplishments and struggles of the Fund over its first seven years while making several recommendations about adjusting the Fund's approach to strengthening the regional economy.
The Fund used the lessons identified through the review to shape its strategy as it began Phase 4 of the work in 2013. The Fund has worked closely with the private sector through the Regional Economic Competitiveness Strategy process, advancing a regional strategy owned equally by philanthropy and the private sector. In terms of its internal processes, the Fund has streamlined operations by simplifying committee structures and decision-making processes, extracting funders from more granular discussions and engaging them in conversations about higher level strategy.
Going forward, the Fund continues to view evaluation of its impact as a core ingredient to strengthening its approach. Being transparent about its work and learning from related efforts in other regions will be essential for the Fund as it fosters long-term economic success in Northeast Ohio.
