State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. says he is taking the unprecedented step of forcing Buffalo to send students from two high schools to take classes outside of the district.
"Buffalo may simply be incapable of running a quality program in these buildings," he said Thursday, referring to Lafayette and East high schools, where only roughly 1 in 4 students graduate. "Frankly, so far, they have not demonstrated any capacity to do so."
The state denied Lafayette and East millions in federal school-improvement money and directed the district to pay to have some students educated by Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services, a regional education service provider that until now has served only suburban districts.
When asked why the state is focusing on Buffalo schools when other districts across the state also have schools with poor academic performance, King said Buffalo has had a long history of making poor excuses for problems that other districts share.
He was particularly outraged by some prior comments by members of the Board of Education indicating that King has been "picking on" Buffalo Public Schools when other districts also are struggling or doing worse. That kind of justification for poor performance is unacceptable, he said.
"That's literally insane," said the normally diplomatic and mild-mannered commissioner. "How can anyone make that argument seriously? That's preposterous."
King called what's happening at some Buffalo high schools a "crisis" and "disaster."
"Three-quarters of the kids don't graduate?" he said in a frustrated litany. "That's breathtaking. Breathtaking."
In his letter to Superintendent Pamela C. Brown, King referred to the fact that the district has applied unsuccessfully three times to implement a federal intervention model at Lafayette and two times at East.
In addition, he blamed the district for not doing enough to enable Johns Hopkins University to take over as the lead managers of those schools next year, as originally planned. He said the district "has failed to create the conditions necessary" to allow Johns Hopkins to effectively implement its turnaround model at the two schools as required by education law.
"Far too many students have been educationally abandoned, their futures cast into distress by the poor academic services they have received," King said. "I am compelled to take action. The steps I am taking today are unprecedented in New York State, but the situation at these schools, which continues to hurt hundreds of students, cannot continue."
In his directive to the district, he said Buffalo must either:
• Enter into an agreement with Erie 1 BOCES to provide career and vocational programs to any student from East or Lafayette who wishes to enroll in such programs this coming school year.
• Enter into an agreement with a BOCES program to serve as the lead administrators of Lafayette and East, similar to the role that Johns Hopkins originally was supposed to serve.
A plan must be submitted by Aug. 12. If neither option is exercised, King said, he may recommend that the Board of Regents revoke the registrations of these schools and effectively shut them down. Though BOCES does not offer core academic classes at its career centers, King said, at least he'll know the students are getting some quality vocational instruction.
"This is the first time that we have required an out-of-district opportunity for students," King said, "but it's clear, again, from [Distinguished Educator] Judy Elliott's report and from the history of the last four years, that the district is simply incapable of providing a quality program there."
Elliott, who was assigned to Buffalo by the state Education Department, did not speak directly to the issues at Lafayette and East but said she had broader concerns.
"Priority schools continue to struggle to receive coherent support from the central office," she said.
School and district leaders expressed shock, surprise and anger over the commissioner's letter.
"It should be below the dignity of the commissioner of education to make that kind of statement," said Buffalo Teachers Federation President Philip Rumore, who described King's harsh comments as "offensive, despicable and wrong."
"You have two faculties that I know have been working feverishly over the past year to put together a program for these students, and they're not even given a chance to put the program into place," Rumore said.
"I'm devastated, and so is the staff," said Lafayette Principal Naomi Cerre, whose school provides instruction to a student population that is 70 percent immigrant and refugee. "We just left a conference in Baltimore that Johns Hopkins fully funded."
A call to East Principal Casey Young was not returned.
Johns Hopkins had been working with both high schools and offering training this past school year to prepare the schools for a full implementation of the university's turnaround model, which has proven successful nationwide.
Charles Hiteshew, who heads up Johns Hopkins' educational "talent development" program for middle and high schools, offered nothing but praise for the staffs and leadership at Lafayette and East.
"Those schools have been tremendous partners to work with," he said.
Regarding the central administration, he said, "It's bureaucracy, but it's bureaucracy anywhere. There haven't been structural issues we haven't been able to work through."
Nothing in his experience would suggest that the university could not successfully serve as the lead administrators of Lafayette and East next school year, he said.
He added that Johns Hopkins already has established a six-member school leadership team in Buffalo, including three people who have relocated from Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and the Seattle area. The university was prepared to establish small learning communities at each school with teaching teams, an accelerated curriculum and early-warning system to keep students from falling behind.
Unless the state agrees to award the grant money to Lafayette and East, he said, "it will be pretty much impossible to deliver those resources."
"For us to pull the plug on this at this time would be devastating," he said.
Brown said that King's letter took her by surprise and that there has been academic progress made at both high schools.
"I don't have the commissioner's historical perspective on this," she said. "I can only talk about what I've seen in these schools over this past year."
She said she hopes to meet with Deputy Commissioner Ken Slentz soon to gain more information on what motivated King's letter.
"I know that the board members are also very anxious to get more information on how this decision has come about and what it will mean for the district," she said.
She also noted that the district has nine schools that are being awarded federal turnaround grants this year and that the district just received word that its grant application for BEST School No. 6 also has been accepted.
Representatives with the state Education Department said the turnaround applications submitted by the district for Lafayette and East were "incomplete and insufficient."
The district did not submit a signed agreement with Johns Hopkins as part of its application, even though the university signed off on its end.
King said the Buffalo district typically complains that the state's rules and regulations are too confusing when its applications and proposals are denied.
"Every Buffalo problem is treated the same way by the district," the commissioner said. "If they can't figure out how to submit an approvable plan for improvement in these schools, then they are unlike other districts around the state that have figured that out."
Meanwhile, Erie 1 BOCES Superintendent Donald A. Ogilvie said his organization is prepared to provide whatever services Buffalo requires. It costs about $7,600 in tuition for a student to take vocational courses through the BOCES program. Unlike suburban school districts that receive a state subsidy to offset the cost, Buffalo would receive none.
BOCES also would be willing and able to step in as the lead administrator for Lafayette and/or East under one of the two options offered by the commissioner, Ogilvie said. "We've talked about making this as seamless a transition as possible," he said.

Dear Editor,
The South Carolina Tea Party is at it again. This time their bone of contention is the Common Core Standards for school curriculum. South Carolina is one of 45 states that has adopted the Common Core K-12 Education Standards in math, reading and language arts. The standards outline what each student should know – and know how to apply – at each grade level.
The S.C. Tea party is opposed to the standards because they are also opposed to funding public education. Many tea party members have stated that Common Core is a form of government subversion. The tea party members will be the first in line to get their Social Security checks and Medicare coverage even though they think the government can't do anything right. If a child moves from South Carolina to New York, the expectations relative to the Common Core Standards are basically the same. The standards move students away from basic recall information to application and problem solving. They teach students how to defend their answers and how to apply them in a real world situation.
I have spent 45 years as a teacher and administrator in the public schools of South Carolina and I only wish Common Core Standards were implemented during my tenure.
Our state superintendent Dr. Zais is opposed to the standards, yet he has never taught in a public school or served as a building level administrator. His lack of experience and knowledge relative to instruction and curriculum is severely limited. This is the same superintendent who refused to accept millions of federal dollars for South Carolina schools.
Dr. Zais and his tea party allies need to form their own private school system. They can just teach reading, writing and arithmetic.

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in Houston.
Tropical moisture could produce thunderstorms this afternoon.
Tropical Storm Dolly formed this morning with 45 mph winds in the southern Gulf of Mexico and is moving toward the Mexico coast.
The system isn't anywhere near the upper Texas coast, but it will nonetheless provide a surge of moisture that should increase the possibility of shower and thunderstorm activity today over the Houston metro area.
This should result in scattered showers this morning, and with the atmospheric moisture there's the chance for more widespread development this afternoon from showers streaming inland. Because of their tropical origin these showers may produce very heavy rainfall.
Due to the threat of localized downpours and lightning, the National Weather Service has placed the area under a hazardous weather outlook.
The clouds and rain should also help to keep temperatures in the low 90s today.
Houston will be on the edge of a high pressure system for most of the rest of the week, which should allow for temperatures to climb perhaps into the mid-90s, and for scattered afternoon thunderstorms during the warmest part of the day.
I'm not ready to say we're out of the woods when it comes to 100-degree days this summer — it would be the first year since 1997 we've gone without one — but I will say we're looking really good at this point.
Aside from Tropical Storm Dolly the Atlantic tropics are quiet.
Onto September
when we might expect our first
real nice fall cold front.
Strong thunderstorms rolled through Southeast Texas on this date in 2002. A lightning strike ignited a fire at the Exxon refinery in Baytown and another lightning-induced fire damaged 18 apartments in Houston.

FRANKLIN SQUARE - Salem Township Constable Dan Valentine said he is still working leads on the bridge ironworks stolen from the Watkins property in the 37000 block of state Route 344 about two weeks ago.
Thieves pull nearly 25 to 30 pieces of heavy, 10-foot long steel beams from the top of a bridge spanning a creek that provided access from Lisbon Canfield Road to state Route 344.
The beams were bolts down and four were left in place by the thieves because they couldn't undo them.
Valentine said they probably weighed about 100 pounds each while noting that steel scrap sells for about $230 to $250 a ton and there are a number of scrap dealers in the area.
Valentine said Wednesday he was pursuing leads, every one of which was generated by media coverage. He said he was working with the East Palestine police on leads "over there" adding he was "still working on it ... something's happening every day."
Valentine also cautioned motorists about deer movement on roadways.
"I've never seen it like this," he said. "As soon as someone hits a deer there are four or five people coming out of the woodwork wanting the deer.
"There are lots of deer," he said.
The Salem Township and the Leetonia police departments are holding their annual care and share program accepting money donations for needy families.
Money donations, which are preferred can be dropped off at the Leetonia Police Department, 300 E. Main St.
In other business, Bob Wines, a member of the Buckeye Water District and up for reappointment, spoke to trustees during Wednesday's about getting reappointed.
Wines is one of nine board members and the only one whose term expires this year. It expires on Dec. 31.
After going over his background in detail, Wines said the district is expected to announce a "humongous project" before Christmas.
Trustee Chairman John Wilms asked if something real big came into the township would the BWD be able to provide the water.
Wines said it depended on several factors since water lines are expensive. He said that could limit the size because "you can only move so much water through a pipe."
He also mentioned grant programs while explaining the goal of the district is to supply water for the county and obtain agreements from municipalities.

"I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off," she tells Glamour for its March cover story, out Feb. 11. "It's not an urge I have."
Besides, the singer-songwriter, 24, says she bares all in a far more intimate way already.
"For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off," she explains.
It's a risk that's paid off for the Grammy-winning musician, whose latest album, Red, hit No. 1 in more than 50 countries.
Patrick Demarchelier for Glamour
"I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game," she tells the magazine.
"And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table."

It was a mellow, carefree Friday night for Zac Efron.
The Townies star kept a low profile at West Hollywood hotspot Bootsy Bellows, where he hung out with pals in the VIP room at a table in the way back corner of the club.
Clad all in black, with a beanie covering his head, the star sipped on vodka cocktails and danced to Drake's "Started from the Bottom."
Efron only left the table once, but when he did, he had people in front of him and behind him, helping him move through the crowd. The actor, whose table was blocked off to other club-goers by his friends, stayed until almost closing time.

on November 2, 2012 - 12:10 AM
I must admit, "The Voice" makes me cringe. I'm well aware that it's a personal issue. Compared to its brethren "American Idol" and "The X Factor," "The Voice" comes up smelling like roses. At least it purports to be about the music. "Idol" and "X" are simply nauseating displays of ego – overinflated on the part of the judges, and desperately seeking overinflation on the part of the contestants, most of whom raise the degrading practice of bootlicking to a high art form.
"The Voice" is better than the competition, but it still makes me incredibly uncomfortable when my wife and son gather in front of the television and crank the absurd spectacle at window-rattling volume, and in surround sound, each week. Not wanting to be a total Scrooge, I at least fight the urge to flee screaming for my basement full of musical instruments in search of refuge, and stay in the room, under protest. I'll read a book and nurse an after-dinner cold one, and try to keep my thoughts to myself, not wanting to spoil the fun for everyone else.
What's my issue?
If I had a shrink, he or she would probably tell me it had something to do with a deep-seated fear of mediocrity in my own doings. Watching semitalented people struggle to gain the affection of a bunch of divas makes my skin crawl, and located somewhere in that reaction is probably a repressed fear that I might do the same thing if given the opportunity. Or maybe I just find all the oversinging and overemoting tiresome and not at all related to the aspects of music-making that have filled my soul with wonder, pretty much from the moment I learned to crawl.
Inevitably, after suffering through a couple of seasons of this stuff, by osmosis, I have gotten a feel for the show. And to my complete horror, I've discovered that I actually like Cee Lo Green.
Granted, the competition ain't too steep, as the saying goes – that dude from Maroon 5 (Adam Levine) reminds me of the Ross Geller character from "Friends," minus anything resembling charm; Christina Aguilera is so full of herself, and so condescending to everyone else, that she makes Mariah Carey look like a positively well-adjusted human being; the token country dude (Blake Shelton) seems nice enough, but I can't get a read on who he actually is, in a musical sense.
But Cee Lo? He sits there in that swivel chair with a big Cheshire Cat grin on his face, as if he's half hoping the contestants will kneel before him and kiss his ring. He looks like he might have had a drink or two prior to the show's taping. And his body language and facial expressions suggest to me that his opinion of his cohorts is probably very similar to my own.
Simply put, Cee Lo gives off an aura of "I'm in this for the money, and it's kinda fun, too," which goes a long way toward deflating the sense of self-importance displayed by pretty much everyone else who sits in one of the judgment chairs, or cowers like a sycophant in front of those chairs. "The Voice" is a joke, and Cee Lo looks like he's the only one who gets that joke. This makes him attractive, a welcome pinprick to the narcissism-inflated balloon.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that Cee Lo might actually be a bit of a musical genius. In fact, long before "The Voice," I liked Goodie Mob, the Atlanta-based hip-hop collective that Cee Lo was a part of in the days before his number was in Aguilera's contacts list. Particularly awesome to me was that group's 1998 effort "Still Standing," which was the first record that featured Cee Lo busting out that incredibly powerful singing voice, and bringing an immense soul music influence into hip-hop.
And then there's Gnarls Barkley, the duo Cee Lo formed with Danger Mouse. This was where things got incredibly interesting. "St. Elsewhere" and "The Odd Couple" were wonderfully bizarre albums that defied easy description. Cee Lo sang his butt off on both of them.
In 2010, when Cee Lo dropped "F--- You," well, he sealed the deal, for me at least. Here was a deliciously infectious marriage of soul and pop, a record with "massive hit single" written all over it. I adored Cee Lo for giving such an accessible ditty such an irreverent and off-putting title. (The clean version, "Forget You," is just not as awesome, let's face it.)
All of this music appealed to me, but when Cee Lo showed up on "The Voice," I stopped caring. It felt an awful lot like Steven Tyler joining the panel on "American Idol." For me, Tyler was the raunchy Caucasian answer to James Brown. He was a freak, and the best Aerosmith albums were dirty, irreverent funk blended with hard rock. Seeing Tyler on prime-time mainstream network television was a deal-breaker. It felt like a betrayal. The feeling with Cee Lo was less intense – he never struck me as someone who would turn down an opportunity to be seen and heard, so why not raise the profile with a steady TV gig? But it was a bummer, nonetheless.
If his increasingly bizarre and awesome "performances" on "The Voice" began to warm me to Cee Lo a little bit, the release this week of "Cee Lo's Magic Moment" has sealed the deal. A holiday-themed collection of soulful, Motown-esque romps, including duets with both the Muppets (awesome) and Rod Stewart (less so), this collection brings the freak show factor back into Cee Lo land. Cee Lo sounds like an absolute maniac here, and if the very notion of the man doing a "Christmas album" is odd enough in itself, the fact that it's the most deliciously oddball collection of good cheer anthems this side of Bob Dylan's similarly out-there effort is the clincher.
Even Aguilera, who shows up to oversing on "Baby It's Cold Outside," can't subdue the "bats in the belfry" aspect of this album. And "Merry Christmas Baby," with Rod Stewart, is far better in the headphones than it is on paper – surprisingly, perhaps, the two singers find common ground in their obvious love for Sam Cooke, and their performances complement each other pretty handily.
But it's Cee Lo who steals the show with his incredible voice and equally incredible penchant for freakishness.
I can't help wishing he'd bail on "The Voice," and get back to making records full time. Just sayin'.

Grant of Rights in Content
Upon User's submission of Content to the Website or otherwise to Genero, User hereby grants to Genero a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, assignable, sub-licensable, and royalty-free licence in the Content to;
use, reproduce, alter, adapt, monetise, broadcast, publish, perform in public, and communicate to the public, transmit, compress, host, post, share, stream, upload, and otherwise exploit the Content in all media now known or hereafter devised;
combine and/or include the Content, or any part thereof, with any other material or content as part of any media (physical, electronic or otherwise);

market, promote or advertise the Content;
delay, cease, refrain, or omit to do any of the above;
licence, sublicense, or otherwise authorise any third party to do any of the above; and

Grant of Rights in Submissions
Filmmaker must not deal with (including licence, assign, transfer or sell), or post, publish, upload, transmit (or otherwise disclose to any other party) the Submission or any work incorporated into the Submission, until each of the following have occurred:
the Closing Time and Date on the Brief has passed;
the Client Selection has been communicated;
14 days after the Client Selection has been communicated you have not been notified that your Submission is a Client Selection; and
all Assets have been removed from the Content (unless otherwise used in accordance with these Terms).
In the event that a Submission becomes a Client Selection, as consideration of the Payment, the Filmmaker hereby irrevocably and immediately assigns all rights, title, and interest in the Client Selection to the Client. This includes all things associated with ownership of personal property, which without limitation includes granting the Client the exclusive rights throughout the world in perpetuity to manufacture, distribute, promote, advertise, sell, lease, licence or otherwise exploit commercially the Client Selection in all media and technologies now or hereafter known, including the right to communicate the Client Selection to the public and to licence all such rights to third parties in its absolute discretion. Where required, the Filmmaker also agrees to do all things and execute all documents required by Client to effect a full assignment of the Filmmaker's rights in the Client Selection. For clarity, this assignment of rights, title and interest only extends to the Submission delivered by the Filmmaker as per the original Brief, and not to any further or derivative works (including but not limited to characters, talent, art, music and other IP) outside of what was specified in the original Brief. Further or derivative works must be solicited and paid for via a new Brief on Genero.
In the event that your Submission is not approved and published on Genero, you are not permitted to post such Submission to any other websites, or deal with it in any way unless and until any and all references to the Client, Genero, and Assets have been first removed completely from such Submission.
Grant of Rights in Videos
Upon Filmmaker's upload of a Video to the Website or otherwise to Genero or Client, the Filmmaker hereby grants to Genero a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, assignable, sub-licensable, and royalty-free licence in the Video to;
use, reproduce, alter, adapt, monetise, broadcast, publish, perform in public, and communicate to the public, transmit, compress, host, post, share, stream, upload, and otherwise exploit the Video in all media now known or hereafter devised;
submit the Video for inclusion in ticketed or free events;
combine and/or include the Video, or any part thereof, with any other material or content as part of any media (physical, electronic or otherwise);
edit, compress, or modify the Video at any time and in any way (at the sole discretion of the licensee), including broadcasting the Video in different formats for mobile devices, television, cinema, festivals or other reasons as the licensee sees fit;
earn and retain advertising, sponsorship and other forms of revenue from the Video including on the licensee's website and other websites and social media pages, which may be displayed and not limited to, before or after the Video plays, and superimposed over the Video without payment or notice by licensee;
market, promote or advertise the Video;
delay, cease, refrain, or omit to do any of the above;
licence, sublicense, or otherwise authorise any third party to do any of the above; and
transfer or assign any of the above rights to a third party.
Unless instructed to the contrary by Client or Genero, the Filmmaker may use a reasonable portion of their Client Selection Video (which includes the Assets) for self-promotional purposes (ie. your showreel) upon public announcement of the Video, provided that such Client Selection Video is not commercialised or monetised by the Filmmaker at any time.
Subject to any restrictions or rights granted herein, for all Videos other than the Client Selection, the Filmmaker retains the rights to their original work, to the exclusion of any Assets or other copyright or non-original material. For clarity, for all Videos other than the Client Selection, and where a Video is made publicly available on Genero, the FIlmmaker may embed their Video using Genero's embeddable Video Player.
Grant of Rights in Assets
The Client grants Genero and Filmmaker a non-exclusive perpetual, worldwide licence to use Assets in accordance with these Terms and any Additional Terms specified by the Client.
To the extent that Assets are available for Genero's Services, the Client grants the Filmmaker a non-exclusive licence to reproduce, publish, communicate to the public, synchronise, and adapt the Assets for the sole purpose of creating a Submission in relation to the Brief to which the Assets were made available. For the avoidance of doubt, you are expressly not permitted to use the Assets for any purpose other than as part of your Submission.
The Client warrants that to the extent that the underlying materials in the Assets comprise musical works, or another work controlled by a third party, that it has full right, licence, and authority from the owners of such works (e.g. publisher) to grant the rights herein in relation to the parts of Assets not wholly owned by the Client. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Genero nor Filmmaker are responsible for clearing or licensing any use of the Assets for the purpose of making a Brief or Submission available.
All rights in and to the Assets are reserved by the Client. You hereby acknowledge and agree that there is no transfer, licence or other grant of rights to you in respect of any Assets other than as specifically provided for in these Terms or any Additional Terms.
Other than as part of your Submission for the relevant Brief, you must immediately cease all use of Assets and return or destroy all copies of Assets by the Closing Time and Date on the relevant Brief. If you are selling your Video to a Client in accordance with these Terms, you are solely responsible for removing any and all Assets from the Video before it is sold, re-edited and transferred to a Client or otherwise used in any way.

A variety of Brief structures are available for Clients to work with Filmmakers via Genero, including: i) asking Filmmakers to first submit a treatment/idea, before going into production, ii) going straight to production and by-passing a treatments/ideas phase to then select the Video that best matches the Brief, iii) commissioning an individual Filmmaker for new and/or further/derivative works, or iv) searching Genero's Video Store to find and purchase an existing Video, edited or unedited by the original Filmmaker. The following terms govern the various structures available to Clients and Filmmakers.
Genero may, in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever, edit, postpone, or cancel a Brief without any liability to you; including not making a Client Selection and not publishing Submissions.
The Closing Time and Date for each Brief (if relevant) shall be listed on the relevant page on the Website. Genero reserves the right to alter any Closing Time and Date in its absolute discretion. All dates/times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) unless stated otherwise. It is your responsibility to convert the time and date to your local time zone. Your Submission will not be accepted if it is not submitted by the Closing Time and Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genero reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or refuse to accept late Submissions.
Following the Client Selection, Genero requires that the Filmmaker and Client agree to all details pertaining to production of the Video of a Client Selection using the tools and messaging function within Genero's Services (including key dates, timing, location, talent, insurance, video specifications, usage, confidentiality, milestones, exclusivity, budget, payments, and all other deliverables) before proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, Genero is not and will not be a party to such agreement.
The Client may offer to purchase a Video or commission a Filmmaker for new or further/derivative works by issuing a Brief directly to a Filmmaker through the Website, and the Filmmaker shall have the option to accept (hence becoming a Client Selection) or decline the Client's Brief. In the alternative, the Filmmaker may issue specific terms under which the Video may be purchased or Filmmaker commissioned.
All matters that are agreed upon via written communication between the Filmmaker and Client will be binding.
Both the Filmmaker and Client agree to work together in good faith to complete the Video of a Client Selection, however Genero is not responsible for and disclaims any responsibility for the Filmmaker's delivery or non-delivery of the Video in accordance with the Client Selection, including on-time delivery. For clarity, it is the Client's full responsibility to satisfy itself of the Filmmaker's ability to deliver across all aspects of the Brief.
Whilst Genero will endeavour to help only where it can and in its sole discretion, Genero does not and will not mitigate or arbitrate in the case of any dispute between any Filmmaker and Client.
Genero and/or Client will attempt to make contact with Filmmakers of a Client Selection via email using the details provided in the Filmmaker's Account. The Filmmaker must respond to Genero's or Client's contact attempts within a reasonable amount of time in accordance with the Client's requirements, usually within 24 hours of notification. Genero or Client accepts no responsibility for being unable to reach the Filmmaker if these attempts are unsuccessful, and reserves the right to withdraw or disqualify such Submission. Filmmakers are strongly encouraged to supply multiple contact details/methods to ensure Genero or Client is able to make immediate contact.
In the event that a Filmmaker's Video is published on Genero and not a Client Selection, such Submission will automatically be made available in Genero's Video Store after the Client Selection has been announced. For clarity, Filmmaker can set their own price or make their Video unavailable for sale from the Video Store.
User acknowledges, warrants and represents that it will not initiate, complete, or attempt to complete any commercial transaction or completion of the Brief or subsequent Briefs (including further and/or derivative works related to any Brief or any Genero Client), outside of Genero and Genero's processes with any User, or otherwise attempt to circumvent Genero's Services and/or Genero's Fees; and
Client acknowledges that their Brief is exclusive to Genero and all Submissions Client will receive for such Brief will be via Genero's Services. If the Brief appears on or is communicated via any websites, platforms or 3rd parties, it will be limited to promotion of such Brief only, and must link only to Genero as the exclusive point where Filmmakers can respond with their Submission.
The Filmmaker hereby acknowledges, warrants and represents that:
if your Submission is a Client Selection, you will complete and deliver the Video in accordance with the Submission, Brief and Client's requirements to the highest standards (as demonstrated in your previous work), specifications and to the Client's reasonable satisfaction;
if your Submission is a Client Selection, you will provide up to a maximum of 3 rounds of changes for offline edits and up to a maximum of 3 rounds of changes for online edits, or in the case of a Video Store sale, up to a maximum of 10 hours of editing time towards the re-edit of a Video to facilitate such sale;
you will supply a high resolution file of your Video on physical media via mail, or uploaded electronically (at Genero's or Client's discretion) within three (3) days of being notified that your Submission is a Client Selection, in accordance with Genero's broadcast specification guidelines as well as the Client's individual requirements within the Brief. Failure to do so may result in your Submission being ineligible for Client Selection and no Payment being made;
the Filmmaker, Performers and Contributors (including director, producer and team members) named in the Submission or any communication that forms part of your response, are the persons that shall be used in the Video of a Client Selection, unless otherwise agreed with Client; and
you hold all necessary and current insurance policies to fully cover your participation in any Brief via Genero's Services or you accept all liability if you do not hold insurance, and waive any right to claim against Genero or Client.
The Client hereby acknowledges, warrants and represents that:
it has the ability and funds to fulfil the Payment in full, Genero's Fee and Applicable Taxes to Genero when creating a Brief;
it will not use any Submission for any other purpose other than making a Client Selection;
it will have no right, title, licence or interest in any Submission other than a Client Selection (including no right, title, licence or interest in further/derivative works unless they are the subject of a new Brief on Genero)and only where Genero's Fee, Payment and Applicable Taxes have first been received by Genero in full;
it is responsible for requesting and obtaining properly completed Release Forms from the Filmmaker or from the Filmmaker via Genero and to satisfy itself with their contents (including completeness, accuracy and adequacy);
it will not decide or announce a Client Selection until the Closing Time and Date published on the Brief has passed;
reference checks and due diligence pertaining to the Filmmaker have been undertaken by the Client to the Client's complete satisfaction prior to Client Selection and prior to any request or authorisation to release any Payment (including Progress Payments) to a Filmmaker, with Client bearing full responsibility for working with the Filmmaker;
the Brief describes the Client's requirements as accurately as possible and in enough detail so the Filmmaker can determine if the Payment will be sufficient;
the Brief will not be substantially modified after it is launched, unless the Filmmaker agrees in writing to such modifications;
all Submissions and other communication and responses, including emails in relation to a Brief are confidential, and may only be shared within the Client's team; and
the standard music licence and rights clearance each Filmmaker is requested to obtain for a Client Selection Video is online, global and in perpetuity, however Client is solely responsible for checking and satisfying itself of music licenses and rights (including procuring additional music licenses and rights if required), and ensuring they meet Client's usage requirements, including TV/broadcast usage if required.
Genero and the Client have the right to:
select any Filmmaker and their Submission as a Client Selection;
withdraw a Client Selection and/or remove a Submission if the Filmmaker has not complied with these Terms; and
supplement a Client Selection with any other Submission if the initial Submission is no longer deemed eligible for Client Selection.
Payments, Genero's Fee and Applicable Taxes
A Payment will be made to the Filmmaker of a Client Selection upon final delivery of the Video as per the Brief.
In Genero or Client's absolute discretion, a series of Progress Payments may be made in accordance with the advised delivery schedule.
The Client and the Filmmaker acknowledge, confirm and agree that:
The Client shall pay the Payment, Genero Fee and Applicable Taxes to Genero via the payment terms and method designated by Genero;
Genero shall always be entitled to deduct and retain the Genero Fee and Applicable Taxes from any amount received by or owed to Genero for Genero's Services, and the Genero Fee shall not be refundable or returnable for any reason whatsoever regardless of any other Clause in these Terms;
Where Filmmakers respond to the Brief by submitting Videos (ie. a straight to production structure) instead of treatments or ideas first, Payments will be made to Filmmakers in accordance with the amounts and structure outlined in the Brief. If Genero determines in its sole discretion that there were insufficient Videos meeting the Brief, Client is responsible only for Genero's Fee, Applicable Taxes, plus Filmmaker Payments for any Client Selections; and
Without limiting the clause immediately above, for all other structures, in the event that the Filmmaker fails to deliver the Video of a Client Selection to the Client's satisfaction and the Filmmaker fails to cure, then the Filmmaker will receive no Payment (excluding any Progress Payments already approved by Client).
Unless stated otherwise, Genero will transfer Payments to your nominated Payoneer account or via an alternate method, at its complete discretion.
Payments which are not wholly comprised of cash ("Non-cash Payments") offered under a Brief are not transferable, exchangeable or redeemable for cash. Non-cash Payments are as expressly described on the relevant Brief and anything not expressly described is excluded and does not form part of the Payment.
Genero may deduct or charge you applicable currency exchange, bank, handling, transfer and postage fees to deliver Payments to you.
You acknowledge, confirm and agree that Genero may, in its sole and absolute discretion, increase, decrease, modify, alter, introduce or remove any fee charged by Genero, either permanently or temporarily.

COLUMBIA - There were two options, two distinct paths South Carolina could travel this bowl season.
Behind one door was the fans' choice, the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic near Dallas. Behind another was the Capital One Bowl, where No. 8 South Carolina will play No. 19 Wisconsin at 1 p.m. on New Year's Day in Orlando.
Once the program's first trip to a BCS bowl was out of reach, that was it.
So, how did the Gamecocks get here?
It started 10 days ago at Williams-Brice Stadium. In South Carolina's final game of another remarkable fall, there was a chance to end with a signature victory against in-state rival and then-No. 6 Clemson. For the Gamecocks' bowl opportunities, this was the fork in the road.
"For consideration for the Capital One Bowl, I don't want to say that at 9-3 they're out of contention for us, because that's not true," Capital One Bowl CEO Steve Hogan told The Post and Courier five days before South Carolina hosted Clemson. "We may well have a 9-3 team this year, but to be a 10-win team ranked that high with a win over Clemson would be a heck of an important factor."
In hindsight, avoiding a 9-3 record diverted South Carolina's path. If the Capital One Bowl passed Missouri with an 11-2 record, it would have gone against an unwritten, two-loss rule among bowl selectors. You can dip down to invite a team with one more loss, they say. Not two.
Even after beating Clemson, South Carolina's path was not final. Earlier that same day, Auburn shocked top-ranked Alabama, throwing the BCS into a mess. Suddenly, the Crimson Tide wasn't going to Pasadena for the BCS national championship game. Auburn, expected to be a lock for the Sugar Bowl, had bigger stakes.
On one hand, the Tigers had a chance to play for a spot in the national title bout, which they earned with a win over Missouri in the SEC championship game. If Auburn lost Saturday, Alabama was already a lock for a BCS bowl. The Tigers likely would have fallen to the Capital One Bowl, sending South Carolina somewhere else.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is pleased with his team's destination.
"This is the best place for us to go, no question," Spurrier said Sunday night. "It's an excellent bowl trip and there's a lot to do. I know our players - I talked to Connor Shaw earlier - enjoyed it. There's stuff to do all the time and hotel accommodations were super, and we look forward to spending a week in Orlando."
The Capital One Bowl is a special place to Spurrier, just as it is for South Carolina's football history. Inside the decaying Florida Citrus Bowl, the Gamecocks reached a program-record 11th win with a 30-13 victory over Nebraska in the 2012 Capital One Bowl.
Two seasons later, South Carolina has a chance to reach 11 wins for the third straight year if it beats Wisconsin.
"Marketable players, marketable coach, pretty close by, had a historic season in terms of overall win-loss records," Hogan told The Post and Courier in November. "To be a part of that was cool. They were great here, and any time you can have them, I think you'd be proud to have them. We didn't have any issue with that whatsoever. They were everything you'd expect them to be."
Now, South Carolina hopes the Capital One Bowl is everything it expects the experience to be. Maybe there were other destinations on its wish list. The Cotton Bowl would have been something new. The BCS would have brought more "status," as Spurrier called it. Maybe the grass is always greener.
Spurrier and his quarterback weren't complaining Sunday night.
"We appreciate the Capital One Bowl taking us, and hopefully we can have some memories like we did two years ago in Orlando," Spurrier said. "I know personally and for our team, winning 11 games for the first time in school history down there was a very special day for us. Hopefully, we can have another special day, but it won't be easy and it should be a heck of game with Wisconsin."

I needed an Omega 3 supplement in my diet. I picked Omega Balance because it's produced by Croda's PureMax technology and thia one is at a god EPA/DHA ratio. Since being on it (2 weeks) my energy levels are more stable. My carb cravings whilst dieting are more subdued and I'm shifting those last few difficult pounds! :) This isn't a benefit I was expecting from them but I've added nothing else into my diet or supplementation or taken anything away. Note: I am however taking 2 capsules 3 times a day. Great product!! Thanks MP!! Will be back for more! :)
Great to help recovery and wellbeing. "If you don't solve it by squating and taking O3, you'll probably be in serious problems."Goes Well With:Squating
This is the fish oil you want. It contains the right balance of EPA and DHA in very high concentrations to get your 1.8g-3.0g of EPA/DHA combined with as few tablets as possible (remember a gram of fish oil is a gram of fat = 9kcal). Another high street brand I was using until recenlty would have required me to cosume between 13-17 tablets to reach the recommended EPA/DHA amount. This product only requires 3-5 depending on what daily dosage you want. Thats far fewer tablets which makes it easier to hit your maco targets for the day; not to mention its far more practical consuming 3-5 tablets than 17!!! I would recommend this product highly over the other fish oils - it is the best I've found in terms of price and EPA/DHA concentration.
Fab capsules very easy to take and no after taste. Does what it says on the tin.
These came recommended to me by my PT not really been taking long enough yet to see effect but no taste and easy to swallow
With whats on the market the overall cost of the omega balance caps are good and a decent quality. Before I was using some cheap fish oils that didnt really do much for me but I have felt the difference in these. They have aided recovery and my joints feel much better overall as I used to get some aches. The caps are a little large but there pretty easy to swallow with some water. Goes Well With:D3 and water
A must have food supplement. Easy to swallow. Good price.
I have use this prouct for two weeks but the result is great. I can see my body fat decreased by looking at the mirror, while My weight increased by 1kg. This product is really good. And I am sure will purchase it again.
both myself and my partner used these tablets for some time, they went out of stock so we went else where and immediately noticed a difference. The other tablets we started to take were almost pointless they had no affects what so ever but these omega balance tablets aided recovery and any joint aches were almost all completely gone when taking these tablets. very good product and will not be using anything else for my joints in future Goes Well With:good diet and exercise
These are brilliant, I'm always skeptical when buying supplements as a lot of brands promise way more than they can deliver. I'm 29 and upping my running to join the paras and my knees and ankles have been taking a hammering, onto My second tub of these and can definitely notice an anti inflammatory effect, my joints feel a lot more subtle and for somebody who's already lean my abs are way more visible, the latter not so important to me but a bonus anyhow, a staple for me now.
What can I say except it's a really good product and quality - I used to buy the cheaper Tesco stuff but it just wasn't as good and didn't have the eps and dhp levels this did. Great value too!
Exactly what I was looking for. Neutral taste. Good epa and dha balance with a high amount of each. It allows me to efficiently hit my goals.Goes Well With:Fat soluble vitamins
I'm not a major fan of swallowing pills let alone big pills. These pills are pretty dam big, however I have overcome the problem by swallowing them with food no problem. I have had a problem with my Kness, clicking and causing me pain while working out. Taking these has deffo helped and improved my joints!! Would highly recommend people try this!Goes Well With:Breakfast.
Perfectly balanced and high strength omega pill.Goes Well With:Water.
Great EPA and DHA content, which was what I was looking for.
I like it as it has a good DHA to EPA ratio. it's great value for money and works magic on my immunity, joints, concentration and overall good feeling! So when unwell, I take double the dose of two a day. When pregnant & breastfeeding took six a day. My son a very healthy boy, came out naturally during waterbirth in less than 2 hours labour, as a first child. He also has amazing attention spam for his age since very little, content & confident. I owe some of that to Omega 3, I am sure! Very happy with it so far!Goes Well With:My other multi vit mineral supplements and there is no risk of overdosing.
I have been looking for a high concentration fish oil for quite a while, especially the one that won't break the bank. Omega Balance fits. It's good quality from what I can tell so far. Doesn't have much of a fishy aftertaste, which is a big plus for me. I previously used Boot's Fish Oil and this appears to be of a better quality and price, but only time will tell.Goes Well With:CLA, green tea
First of all, Omega Balance is a decent price. I like how it balances the types of omega 3, that's why I chose this one over the super omega.Goes Well With:Alpha Men, and extra B vits
This Omega Balancei s the perfect choice if you want to get an Omega3 supplement with a good ratio of EPA and DHA.Goes Well With:Anything.
Omega Balance contains a lot of capsules for a reasonable price. This seems like a very nice quality product, I'm very happy with it.
I used to get pain in my elbow joints when doing weighted pull-ups and chin-ups, and occasionally when benching. After taking 2-3 of these Omega Balance tablets a day (with meals), the pain is completely gone. I'd definitely recommend buying some if you're concerned about your joints.
Omega Balance is easy to swallow, with great Omega 3 content at 710mg per 1000mg softgel.Goes Well With:Alpha Men
Gives high doses of the good stuff required at good cost
I can certainly feel the benefits from this Omega Balance. I have no more clicking and it's reduced joint pain.
Take four of these every night, feel they are vital to keeping my joints healthy. Can't do without them. Also don't have to take as many as the concentration of DHA and EPA is higher which is a plus.
"One of the best omega 3 supplements on the market and certainly has the edge over other myprotein omega 3 supps - a great ratio of EPA and DHA as well one of the best purification processes to extract the fish oils. And in comparision to other highly purified fish oils, its incredibly well priced. A must have!"
Bought this as MP stopped selling Super Omega 3 for some reason. It's fish oils, we should all be taking them - definitely helps with joint pain after heavy lifting. Good price, well recommended.

See also "beer goggles". A certain level of alcohol intoxication renders otherwise attractive people who are annoyingly talkative, less annoying. An ugly annoying person would require both beer goggles and beer muffs. AKA "beer plugs".
