Tribune Opinion: Best of luck to Franklin, John Evans middle schools in pivotal year
August 9, 2014
When students, faculty and staff in Greeley-Evans School District 6 start classes Thursday, it will mark the beginning of a decisive year for two schools.
Franklin Middle School and John Evans I.B. Middle School both face the prospect of being taken over by the state, among other potential consequences, if they don't improve after having spent the past four years in the lowest categories of the state's framework for academic performance.
To their credit, District 6 officials have approached this year with the seriousness it deserves. At Franklin, a new principal has taken the reins and made significant turnover to the staff. At John Evans, things look better. Its performance has been on an upward trajectory already, and if the trend lines hold the school will move out from underneath the state's mandate.
Franklin's new principal, Chris Ingram, clearly understands what's at stake for her school.
"We basically have a year," she said. "With next year, we're going to have to really focus on student data and placing students in the right interventions. We hired some talented staff we're going to put in the right places."
Under the Colorado Accountability Act of 2009, which established the state's framework, the best schools receive a performance designation. Schools with lesser performance receive the improvement designation and the schools with the worst outcomes receive the priority improvement and turnaround. If these schools don't show improvement within five years they face a bevy of potential state-imposed changes.
The schools could be closed. There could be another change in leadership and another churn of 50 percent or more of the staff. The state could recommend the schools become charters or it could recommend that the schools bring in outside management — possibly from a private company.
Only priority improvement and turnaround designations trigger the state to take action. Test scores and other measures from one school year are used to place a school within a designation. Those accreditations are not released until the following fall. That means there is a one-year lag. For example, bad scores in 2009-2010 might make a school priority improvement or turnaround in 2011-2012.
Franklin and John Evans have not yet received accreditation ratings for 2013-2014. And it is possible one or both will move up to improvement status, which would then wipe the slate clean.
Overall, 38 schools — about 2 percent — across the state face the same mandate as Franklin and John Evans. And two school districts, Karval Re-23 and Vilas Re-5, also have just one year to show improvement.
Still, in the half decade since the Accountability Act went into effect the state has never actually punished a school, and it's not clear to us that the punishments really would work. There's no guarantee another operator could do any better with Franklin than the district has. And we doubt anyone in Denver wants to take responsibility for the kind of demographic challenges leaders at Franklin face. For example, more than 90 percent of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunches, which is a key measure of poverty. For a variety of reasons, children who are raised in poverty require more resources to educate. In fact, because standardized test scores and other metrics often tell us more about a school's demographics than they do about the performance of individual students, teachers or administrators, the best thing the state could do for Franklin would be to change the funding formula. We'd like to see the schools that have the most needs get the highest per-pupil allocation. But given the state of the political conversation in Denver about education, we're not holding our breath for such a sensible solution.
That's why we're glad District 6 has acted aggressively to improve Franklin on its own. Ingram is a strong leader with an impressive track record. She's also been given a free hand to pick staff she wants, which is why about 50 percent of the personnel at the school are new.
"She is very clear on what her role is, and she's very skilled in getting adults to work together to make a difference for kids," District 6 Chief Academic Officer Nancy Devine said.
That's encouraging. And we know everyone at both schools will do all they can to boost performance, not only to meet the state's mandate, but also because it's no less than what the kids deserve.
"What we do know is that we have very smart students here," Ingram said. "We just have to use our resources to the best of our ability."
We wish everyone at Franklin and John Evans the best of luck.

2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This is the car that I wanted since 7th grade, and finally this past May I had the opportunity to purchase one! I absolutely love the styling, particularly on the exterior. The pearl white shimmers in the sun and is gorgeous to look at. The tan interior is great as well, although I have been a bit disappointed with some of the material qualities, particularly on the ceiling panel and dashboard. I bought the car with 63,000 miles and have put on another 3,000 to date. Other than a couple of major repairs up front (engine mount and instrument panel) this car has been practically problem free. I love the power and handling and plan on keeping it for a very long time!
I love the style and power--driving a V8 at 19 makes you feel pretty awesome!
The amenities this car comes with are great. In particular, the driver information center has proven very helpful; especially when my fuel gauge went down for a couple weeks! I also like the sporty touches on the interior trim such as the aluminum shifter/door handles and fiberglass vent trim. The power sun roof, memory seats, and dual climate control give the car an upscale feel, but I love the fact that this car provides a whole host of luxury options without the overused faux-wood trim and cashmere leather look of most comparable luxury vehicles.
I am disappointed with the quality and durability of some of the interior materials. I feel that for a 35K car GM should have done a better job with this. The ceiling panel seems poorly constructed and covered with a cheap-looking fabric. Both are separating from the roof and starting to sag as well--very frustrating and disappointing.
Also, the black exterior window trim was severely sun damaged when I bought the car. Up close it looks pretty bad. The car came from temperate San Diego, so this isn't explainable except for poor material quality, in my opinion.
Finally, gas mileage is pretty poor, although I knew this before I bought it. Definitely more suited to highway driving!
To start, I love Bonnevilles. I owned a '98 Bonnie all through high school and college and it served me well. Bought this GXP once I graduated, and its definitely a love-hate relationship. As far as style, this car has it. Interior, exterior, handling, performance - all fantastic. However, the biggest issue I have with this car is the reliability. I bought it with 64k on it and in 2.5 years I'm at 83k and have put over $8,000 worth or repairs into it (I have a warranty). There is no way that it should need this many repairs when its just a daily driver with less than 10k a year.
Handling - this car handles like a dream, I have never driven another car that has even come close.
Style - the exterior styling is really nice, I still love it after 2.5 years and think "I can't believe I'm driving that!" The interior styling, while slightly dated, still looks nice and is very functional.
Performance - the V8 has plenty of power, although the FWD really lowers its potential. Accelerates like a typical FWD car (mushy), but has a bunch of extra power that makes it scary easy to go from 55 to 80. Passing is a breeze.
Transmission - the over-sized tranny is really nice. Shifts well and handles the V8 power nicely.
Reliability - this car has **severe** reliability issues. I could write a book with the list of parts that have been replaced. These are the ones I can remember off the top of my head:
- rack and pinion (leaking all over)
- engine mount (just one)
- rear valve cover (3 times now, dripping oil onto the exhaust manifold)
- ignition coil (2 failed at once)
- water pump (that went out on the highway in winter)
- oil pan gasket (leaked a bunch)
- coolant crossover (leaked a bunch)
- front left brake caliper
- and supposedly the head gasket is starting to leak, which is an incredibly expensive fix
- and many more miscellaneous repairs
Bought this GXP in Feb 2005; actually bought it for my wife; not only does she love it , but I like to drive it; I grew up in the muscle car era and this reminds me of it. Love the Northstar V8. The car has been very reliable with decent mileage considering the power available City 14.5/Highway about 23. Love the HUD, memory driver features(seats & mirror, plus radio. Ours is Black with Grey interior; it's a real head turner. The car is garage kept and has very low mileage (driven to/from grocery store by a little old lady; we are in our late 60s). Her previous car was a 1996 T-Top Camaro RS, with 3.8L V-6, also low mileage, 10 years, 34,000. We plan on keeping the GXP a Long time!
HUD, Northstar, memory seats etc, 4 Wheel Disk brakes, red dash lights, sound system, throaty exhaust sound, compliments of everyone who sees the car
None really! Bring the Pontiac line back and bring back the Bonneville GXP, the only way I might consider another GM
2005 Pontiac Bonneville SE 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
This car is great. I bought with 90K. It now has 102K. I love the style. Very stylish car. Its big!! Its comfy. It has a very quiet cabin. The gm 3.8 is an amazing engine. Actually got 30 mpg when doing a highway trip of 480 miles. with 16 gallons of gas. It has a big gas tank at 18 gallons. Don't need to fill up much. Normal MPG is about 25 with highway/city mix and not winter out. One problem it died on me on the freeway. Kinda scary. It was the Mass airflow sensor. It happened out of nowhere. No engine lights. I would replace this at 100k miles or sooner. That's when it died on me. Besides for that no problems. You can probably have autozone replace for you.
style, motor, stereo, pretty much whole car. What a stylish car. I think they look cooler than cadillacs honestly.
nothing. Let engine light warn you of an impending serious problem like mass airflow sensor going.
So far owned for 3,000 miles. I got this beautiful car for a bargain price with 90k miles. It drives like it has 30k miles. I've gotten between 23 and 27 mpg per tank so far. Nothing has broken except for a burned out head- light bulb. Very smooth torquey engine with silky smooth shifting transmission. Lots of style. More style than all the imports for sure. I love the look from the back and side especially. Only cool Chryslers and Dodge's have more style but they are troublesome. This car feels heavy and well-built and safe. Nice looking interior with a large trunk and back seat. This car is big and a bit tricky to maneuver in parking lots and city but its a dream on the freeway.
Powerful 3.8 and smooth transmission. Great sounding radio with song/artist display. Stylish and uniquely American exterior and interior.

When $17 Million Isn't Just $17 Million
I guess I'm just lucky – after all, it's not every day someone offers me $17 million dollars.
I opened an email this morning from Heinrich Albert Ruiten (whom I've never met or heard of in my life). Heinrich offered to divvy up $34,995,000US between the two of us, generous guy that he is. All I had to agree to do is have my name listed as a beneficiary of the estate of some poor schmuck (whom I've also never met). I know, I know, it all sounds too good to be true but Heinrich assured me in his email that it's a genuine business. I haven't had such a good offer since a Nigerian prince sent me an email asking for my help in exchange for a reward. . .
Heinrich and my Nigerian "pal" are perpetrators of fraud and fortunately, I've been around this virtual block enough times to know it when I see it but the same can't always be said for seniors. And the reason why might be surprising.
While lack of experience with email in general might account for some of the reason seniors are often the victims of Internet fraud, researchers at the University of Iowa might have found a different reason. They have identified an area of the brain – the ventromedial prefrontal cortex – that governs belief and doubt. Unfortunately, as we age, this area can deteriorate, possibly explaining why some seniors are particularly susceptible to fraudsters.
The implications are huge. Last year, MetLife pegged the dollar amount for financial abuse of the elderly coming in at close to three billion dollars. According to a survey by Visa Canada, while seniors are the least likely to share personal information through social media, they are the most likely to send personal credit card information via email.
A simple first step is being aware of the findings in the study. If we know that brain changes that occur with aging can make us more susceptible to fraud, there's a chance we'll keep our guard up a little bit better.
Seniors should be encouraged to get trusted family members or a trusted financial advisor involved when they're presented with potential scams disguised as financial opportunities. Family members need to understand that it may be necessary to take a more active role in protecting their aging parents than they might have taken in the past.
To help minimize frauds that present themselves via email, seniors should use email programs that have a spam filter. Unfortunately, this can't be relied upon 100% since the scammers and fraudsters who send these emails out tailor their message in order to get around spam filters. More reliable is a program like PointerWare. PointerWare not only has a spam filter for email, it allows supporters to turn on a "white list" feature that results in the senior who is using PointerWare only receiving messages from known and trusted people who are listed in the senior's address book.
What about you? Have you been the victim of fraud? Have you got any other tips for keeping seniors safe online? Let us know, we'd love to hear from you.

Endicott, NY (WBNG Binghamton) It takes the spotlight for the holiday season and you may have one up in your living room right now.
Whether it's artificial or real - millions of families have a Christmas tree in their house.
But , what does it take to find the PERFECT tree?
Action News This Morning took on the job to find that answer, as we headed to Molyneaux's Tree Farm in Endicott.
Now, if you haven't picked a tree yet and feel a little lost in all the different kinds.
Here is an overview of some of the the different kinds out there from Gene Molyneaux.
"The three basic varieties of balsam: they are Balsam, Cannon and Fraser. They all look a lot alike to the untrained eye, but the characteristics are quite different."
"Cannon have a deeper green and a little less silver. Fraser have a silver hue to it which makes it look blue against the green. And the branches are stronger on both the Cannon and the Fraser compared to the original Balsam."
"The Balsam is just your original green tree with a silver underneath. The branches aren't quite as strong."
"The you have Douglas which is a full tree with a lot of fragrance. And then you have Concolor fir which have a blue coloration to it and they have a citrus-y scent to it - which they claim is hypoallergenic. Then we have blue spruce, they have a really sharp needle."
Molyneaux's Tree Farm has been around for more than 60 years - the first tree seed was planted by Richard and his wife back in 1947.

Sam Smith looks at teams with superior post players that are out of the playoff race, which, according to Smith, means they'll be on the trade block this off-season. Why should you care? Because he throws out Zach Randolph's name as one of those that might be changing locations:
Randolph came off the bench in his return Sunday, and though he had 19 points and nine rebounds, the Trail Blazers' three-game winning streak ended. That run had come after six losses in the last seven before Randolph left. Sometimes things don't show up in the box score, like trotting back on defense and stopping the ball with a half-dozen jab steps.
The Bulls are among several teams that have looked at him. But the bad element that continues to follow him around off the court makes dealing for Randolph an issue for any team. He's likely available the way the Trail Blazers are playing with their three promising rookies, Brandon Roy, Sergio Rodriguez and LaMarcus Aldridge.
The revelation has been Aldridge, whom the Bulls passed on in the draft. They came close to choosing him but thought Tyrus Thomas would develop further. So Aldridge will be compared with Thomas for many years.
In the last three games before Sunday, when he had 13 points and six rebounds, Aldridge averaged 21.3 points, nine rebounds and almost three blocks, shooting 25 of 45 and showing a sophisticated offensive game. He's also had a 30-point game this month and one of 24 points and 17 rebounds. Aldridge, noted as a hard worker, is being likened as a player to a cross between Robert Horry and Rasheed Wallace, though without the baggage. Bulls fans can check him out Monday night at the United Center.

The holiday season is in full force after a long weekend of food, shopping, festivities and travel.
Shopping: Nicola Lowe and Irek Wielgosz, kicking off the holiday shopping season on Saturday, stood just inside the door of Ink & Peat and contemplated the North Portland boutique's colorful assortment of scented candles, woven blankets and felt Christmas ornaments. No one needed to persuade Lowe or Wielgosz, of North Portland's King neighborhood, to shop locally, they said. As millions of shoppers across the country descended on huge chain stores Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the hopes of scoring deep after-Thanksgiving discounts, the couple happily skipped the tryptophan-addled crowds and opted for something cozier.
Travel: On one of Portland International Airport's busiest days of the year, thousands of people gave their last hugs to friends and family returning home, came back to their Portland home, and sent off Thanksgiving visitors.
Parade: A seemingly endless stream of floats, giant balloons, costumed characters and marching bands made its way through Northwest and downtown Portland Friday morning as the My Macy's Holiday Parade kicked off this year's festive season. Santa Claus brought up the rear of the procession, smiling and waving as he passed by on his reindeer-drawn sleigh.
Catch up on some more of the weekend's headlines from Portland and Multnomah County:
Port standoff: In eleventh-hour negotiations Saturday, union security officers and the Port of Portland averted a strike set for 6 a.m. Sunday that officials had said would cause an economic disaster. State government's top mediator helped the two sides reach agreement on a contract that had eluded them during 17 months of intermittent negotiations. The pact gives the 25 officers the Port's security work through the term of the contract, which extends into 2015.
Vacation time: Maybe you have a long holiday shopping list, gatherings to attend and preparations to make for out-of-town company. Wouldn't it be nice about now if you had unlimited vacation time? Too bad you aren't the mayor, a city commissioner or the city auditor in Portland. They have tough jobs, sure, but also an enviable perk: as much vacation time as they want. With more than a month remaining in 2012, the six Portland politicians have taken off at least 3 1/2 weeks each.Commissioner Randy Leonard has taken more than five weeks and Dan Saltzman nearly seven.
Terror case: About a dozen peace protesters gathered at Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square tonight, as they have every Friday for eleven years -- this time with a new message: "Free Mohamed Mohamud." It was nearly two years ago that FBI agents arrested Mohamud, accusing him of attempting to ignite explosives at the city's holiday tree lighting ceremony.
Use of force: Portland police officers are getting hurt during encounters with suspects because they doubt police brass, in light of a federal justice inquiry, will support them if they use the amount of force they deem appropriate, the police union president said. Officer Daryl Turner, who leads the Portland Police Association, said he's addressing officers at precinct roll calls with this message: "Take care of yourselves. Protect yourselves. Remember, Department of Justice officials are not professional police officers. You are."
Injured officer: Officer Paul Meyer is still recovering after a tree fell on him during a training exercise, but doctors say he may never use his legs again, the Portland Police Bureau reported late Friday. Meyer was riding an ATV during police training Monday on Hayden Island when the 30-foot-tall tree fell on him. Conditions were rainy as a storm headed into the Portland area.
Weight loss: A pair of Portland twins who have waged a lifelong obesity struggle took a radical new tack -- one they're discussing publicly to help erase the stigma linked to it: The sisters joined the growing ranks of patients choosing a surgical solution to shed pounds.
Trail Blazers: LaMarcus Aldridge watched from the end of the Trail Blazers' bench on Sunday as they lost to the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. He does not plan to sit and watch two days in a row. The Blazers' All-Star power forward, who is dealing with a bum back, said he — most likely — will return to the court today in Detroit when the Blazers visit the Pistons in the second game of a seven-game trip.

The Trenton Catholic Academy boys' basketball team has taken on a litany of the state's powers this season from St. Benedict's (twice) to The Patrick School and St. Anthony to Pennsylvania powerhouses Pennsbury and Allentown Central Catholic.
Tonight at 7 at "The Iron Palace" the Iron Mikes will welcome yet another of New Jersey's powerhouses when top-seeded TCA (21-5) hosts fourth-seeded Roselle Catholic (17-9) in the NJSIAA South Jersey Non-Public B semifinal.
Top-seed Montgomery (26-1) hosts defending sectional champion, fifth-seeded East Brunswick (19-6), at 3 p.m. and second-seeded Trenton (24-2) will host third-seeded Sayreville (24-3) at noon in the Central Jersey Group IV tournament.
Either a loss or a Montgomery win will make it the last-ever game to be played at Trenton's famed "Tornado Alley." A Tornadoes' win and a Cougars' loss would allow Trenton to host the sectional final Tuesday night.
Roselle Catholic, of course, is where standout Iron Mikes' guard Malachi Richardson spent his sophomore season, helping the Lions to the Non-Public B and Tournament of Champions titles.
"That was a big-time team with a ton of good players," said Richardson, who went for a game-high 22 points, including a 5-for-5 effort from long distance, as Roselle Catholic knocked off St. Joe's (Metuchen) for the T of C title last March at the Sun National Bank Center. "Tyler (Roberson), Hakim (Saintil), Asante (Gist), everybody else; we all needed each other to win that game and to have the season that we did. Even though I'm back here (at TCA) those guys are still like my brothers but it's war time now."
Despite the compelling subplot TCA head coach Fred Falchi doesn't believe it will have an impact on the Syracuse-bound guard or the rest of the Iron Mikes.
"We've been playing tough games all year and every single game over the last two weeks has been difficult," Falchi said. "I can't imagine (today) being much more intense than any of the other games we've played."
The Iron Mikes escaped a dogfight Thursday night, turning it on in the fourth quarter to defeat Wildwood Catholic, 53-45. It was a physical game from the outset but got progressively more physical as the game went on and was stopped late in the fourth quarter for a few moments after Wildwood Catholic fans allegedly hurled insults at two of the Iron Mikes' players.
"Everybody on our team has heart from our head coach down to the last guy on the bench," Richardson said. "We all fight. That's what we do at practice so stepping into a game and having another team do it to us, we're used to it. Them doing that to us was nothing that we haven't done to each other in practice."
Trenton jumped out to a 13-point lead on Freehold Township but watched the Patriots whittle the difference to as small as four midway through the third quarter before ripping off a 23-0 run to advance back to the sectional semifinal for the second straight year.
Sayreville erased a 12-point deficit late in the third quarter to come from behind to defeat Jackson, 65-57, Thursday night. The Bombers got 27 points from Corey Taite and 20 from Rob Seraji.
"We're going to still play Trenton basketball," Trenton's Herbie Ellis said. "Just because we're here doesn't mean we're going to switch anything up. We're going to approach it just like any other game we play."

Flash floods kill 29 in PakistanFebruary 07,2013Flash floods kill
29 in Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Flash floods following torrential rains in the countrys northwest this week have killed 29 people.
A spokesman for the disaster management authority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said Wednesday that most of the casualties died when their homes collapsed.
Adnan Khan said 75 people were also reported injured in the floods. He said the rains, which started Monday, damaged about 1,400 homes in the province.
Pakistan suffers every year from flash floods caused by monsoonal rains.
In addition to the flood victims, Khan says three soldiers are missing following an avalanche in the village of Surgulu Binshahia.
Pakistan suffered the worst in 2010, when floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, killing over 1,700 people. More than 20 million people were affected at the time.MORE IN Wire NewsBEIRUT Syrian government forces and their allies captured strategic high ground Monday in...

© The Artist's Estate
David Foggie, 1878 - 1948. Artist (Self-portrait) 1945
Not on display
- Scottish Art
This self-portrait shows Scottish artist David Foggie. It was made three years before his death, at a time when Foggie had retired as a teacher at Edinburgh College of Art but was still active as Secretary of the Royal Scottish Academy. As a teacher of Life Drawing, Foggie had always stressed the importance of accomplished and accurate drawing skills and this quality can be found in many of his own portrait drawings. A number of these were donated to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery by his wife Margaret (Mary) in 1955 and 1962. After her death in 1975, this self-portrait was gifted to the galleries by Foggie's son Angus. Its sincere portrayal and modest style would have been appreciated in the 1920s and '30s, but by the 1940s they were seen as rather old-fashioned.

Von Trier's Melancholia kicks in
by Annika Pham
28/07/2010 - To mark the beginning of production of his new film Melancholia, Danish director Lars von Trier met with the local press on Monday. Sitting in front of a packed gathering at Film i Väst's Trollhättan studios in Western Sweden, where von Trier is shooting for the fourth time, the director and his stellar cast – father and son Alexander and Stellan Skarsgård, Kiefer Sutherland, Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg – remained very discreet about the film's plot.
(The article continues below - Commercial information)
"There is a wedding and melancholia, but I don't want to say any more than that," offered von Trier in his usual monosyllabic and enigmatic way. Revealing little more than the fact that Alexander Skarsgård will marry Dunst and their union will end dramatically only a few days after the ceremony.
However, US actor Sutherland added that Melancholia will have a "brutal honesty", which he particularly likes in the director's films. He also said that he loved "filming 'live', without any rehearsals", a first-time experience in his career. Dunst, who plays Gainsbourg's sister, described Melancholia as a "poetic film".
The psychological disaster movie started shooting on July 22 and filming will last until September 8. The film will be delivered for next year's Cannes Film Festival, where the iconic Danish filmmaker's work has won numerous awards in the past, including Best Actress for Gainsbourg in 2009's controversial Antichrist [trailer, film focus].
Melancholia is produced by Denmark's Zentropa in co-production with Sweden (Memfis Film), France (Slot Machine) and Germany (Zentropa International Köln).
TrustNordisk has already pre-sold the film to over 20 territories, including Italy (BIM), Germany and Austria Concorde) and Switzerland (Frenetic).

If you detest shoveling or it's hard on your body, and a snow blower is beyond your budget, it's tempting to toss some inexpensive de-icer salt on your sidewalk and be done with it.
Cheap salt might do the trick in the short run, but you could eventually end up with the eyesore and expense of replacing a cracked sidewalk or driveway, replacing the edges of your lawn or digging up dead perennials. It can also corrode metal and damage cars.
Check the shelves at Home Depot, Lowe's and other stores that carry de-icers and you'll see that there are many choices. That could mean reading lots of labels if you've never purchased any in the past. But taking the time, and opening your wallet a little wider, will be worth it.
It's best to purchase de-icers early in the season to make sure you have an ample supply. Ice-melting products are most effective when spread thinly and evenly over the pavement prior to ice formation. It's much easier to prevent ice than trying to melt a thick layer of it.
Generally, ice-melt products attract moisture to form a brine that generates heat and melts ice, lawn-care expert Kelly Burke writes for About.com. Here are some specifics about various types of de-icers.
The information comes from Burke; Cynthia Druckenbrod, director of horticulture at Cleveland Botanical Garden; and "Melting Ice Safely," a bulletin by the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension.
Sodium chloride (rock salt). This is the least expensive, but it's efficient. However, it can also damage concrete and metal, and harm plants.
Magnesium chloride. With a minimum working temperature of minus 13 degrees, this is very similar to calcium chloride. It works very fast and is less corrosive and safer on concrete and plants.
Calcium chloride. This will melt to temperatures of minus 25 degrees. It gives off heat as it dissolves but leaves a slimy residue. It can also damage concrete and metal, and harm plants.
"We use calcium chloride sparingly on our main outdoor walkways, and we try to place it down right before a snow event; that way we use less product," says Druckenbrod. "Otherwise we use shovels and equipment to move snow around."
Potassium chloride. This is more expensive than other products, but it works well when mixed 50/50 with rock salt, Burke writes. It's relatively safe unless over-applied.
Natural alternatives to salt pose less harm to the environment. They include sand, sawdust, wood shavings and kitty litter, but they're much less effective.
Some pet owners worry about their pets licking their paws after stepping on salted sidewalks. For them, there's a nonsalt product called Safe Paw Ice Melter. The manufacturer describes it as a "dual-effect" compound that works by attracting solar heat. There is a store locator on the company website.

Jeb Bush is skeptical about U.S.-led negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
Jeb Bush is skeptical about U.S.-led negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
With only days to go before the original July 20 deadline for negotiations over the future Iran's nuclear program, there is scant sign that a breakthrough is imminent. The reason is simple: Iranian leaders' refusal to move from what a senior Obama administration official recently described as "unworkable and inadequate positions that would not in fact assure that their program is exclusively peaceful."
Iran's past nuclear efforts are among the many thorny issues in the continuing Iran nuclear talks. But focusing on the past is a mistake. Instead of insisting on knowing all about what Iran's nuclear program looked like 10 years ago, the United States and its allies should focus on preventing Tehran from building a nuclear weapon in the future.
Last weekend, after years of failed negotiations, the "P5+1" nations -- the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China) plus Germany -- finally appeared to be on the verge of a deal with Iran regarding curbs on its nuclear program.

Bernd Debusmann is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
In the long-running Western debate over what to do about Iran's nuclear program, fresh language has been as rare as fresh ideas. But here's a novel phrase worth noting: "Striking Iranian nuclear sites is like mowing the grass." How so?
Everyone has their own way of broaching subjects they don't like.
Iran has decided the best prelude to upcoming talks with Western powers that are inevitably going to end up in a finger-pointing session over Tehran's nuclear program, is to test fire a bunch of missiles.

This season may be one of change in the German top flight, with many of the league's stars likely to suffer from post-World Cup fatigue. With many big names short of fitness or injured, it could be time for some lesser-known and rising talents to make their way into first-team football and perhaps even to stardom.

IN THE NEWS: Mustangs Sign Jake Barham | Florida's Jimmy Stewart Commits
Ingram, a 6'3" guard, committed to the Mustangs after a battle-tested high school career for the Consortium Cougars. To begin his varsity career, the then-sophomore was called up to be a part of the 2010-11 squad that made it to the Breslin Center for the MHSAA State Finals. The 2010-11 campaign brought the Cougars district and regional crowns in a season where Ingram was named the team's Most Improved Player. The following season Ingram began to mold into the solid player he is today by helping his team to their second district championship in as many years.
This season, the 6'3" guard helped lead the Cougars to a three-peat as district champions. Ingram, along with a talented cast of Cougars, marched on to become regional champs before eventually falling to one of the highest rated teams in the state.
Ingram's development on the hardwood also came way of the AAU circuit. Most recently, the versatile guard was a part of the well-known Detroit Stars club where he played with and against many NCAA Division I recruits. Ingram previously played three seasons for the local R & G All-Stars before joining the Detroit Stars.
A well-rounded student-athlete, Ingram will head to Marygrove College prepared academically after being named to the honor roll at Consortium all four years. This year, Ingram was named to the Principal's List after obtaining a 3.8+ GPA.
MUSTANG REWIND: Coburn, Dunaj Lead Mustang Over #17 Madonna University
Coach Sichterman on Ingram: In Eli we receive a very good basketball player and an even better young man. He hails from a program that has enjoyed long playoff runs the past few seasons. The championships, and the drive that it takes to get there, will give Ingram the championship edge we continually seek for our program. With hard work this summer, Eli has the potential to be a big part of our plans in the immediate future. I look forward to coaching him over the next four years.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A capacity crowd of about 5,000 is expected tonight to hear Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan at Elmore Gym at Alabama A&M University.
Farrakhan's appearance, which has been opposed by religious groups in Huntsville, is also set to be broadcast live on the Internet on Farrakhan's website finalcall.com. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and is open to the public and there is no admission charge.
The Alabama A&M administration has also distanced itself from Farrakhan's visit, which resulted from an invitation by the Alabama A&M Poetry Club and the Alabama A&M Democrats.
The Alabama A&M Democrats have no connection or affiliation with the state or local Democratic Party, but both groups still issued statements distancing themselves from Farrakhan's visit.
A Facebook page was also established on Monday opposing Farrakhan's visit.
The lack of a red-carpet welcome, however, hasn't deterred Farrakhan, according to his website.
A story on the website said, "supporters refuse to be bullied into dis-inviting the Muslim leader."
The Final Call story also alluded to Farrakhan's visit to the University of California in Berkeley last month. There, school president Mark Yudof described Farrakhan as a "provocative, divisive figure with a long history of racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic speech."
"It was distressing in the extreme that a student organization invited him to speak on the UC Berkeley campus," Yudof said in a statement following a Farrakhan speech on campus.
But Yudof, like Alabama A&M President Andrew Hugine, defended Farrakhan's right to speak, even if they don't agree with the content.
"There are occasions when there exists an inevitable clash of ideals, opinions and beliefs and, in such instances, we believe we must be guided by the common principle which we all hold dear - the freedom of expression," Hugine said in his statement released March 29.
Farrakhan's speech, according to the Final Call, is intended "to motivate and inspire the hearts and minds of young, aspiring students and will address the subject, 'The True Meaning of Education.'"
Arrangements are under way to accommodate an overflow crowd with a video screen outside the arena.

If you know Paul Bruno, you won't be surprised that his opinions on CMJ are a little contrary. In some respects, we agree with his thoughts below. Even at a festival as broad and diverse as CMJ, for bands and fans, you still have to play the game, and that can make for some pretty disheartening experiences. Of course, then again, it is show business after all, even if its small potatoes show business. But we digress. Without further ado, here are some thoughts from Paul Bruno, of the Unblinking Ear podcast and blog, on what this week is and isn't all about. -Ben Johnson
From Paul Bruno:
There was a time when college radio was one of the few real avenues for independent (and independent-flavored) bands to gain exposure. The College Music Journal was the trade magazine tracking trends in college radio for the music industry, kind of like a scouting report. With the Billboard 200 out of the question, a mention in CMJ meant that an artist had some degree of industry recognition. Topping the CMJ charts meant that they might be a contender.

What is in this article?:
- Harnessing the genome to redefine mankind, agriculture
- Agriculture revolution
- Research in genomics will unleash inconceivable strides for mankind and agriculture.
- "This wave of technology is coming whether you're ready or not," says Juan Enriquez, a world-leading genetic code authority and user.
- The bottom line — the opportunities for genomics in agriculture are endless.
Agriculture revolution
While the digital age has jettisoned from Commodore 64 computers in the mid 1980s to Palm Pilots in the 1990s to today's rapid Smart Phones, the digital age is evolving into the life science revolution where even more defined data will further change human life.
While computers ushered the world through the digital revolution, today's computers are actually inept compared to the speed of expeditious life science technology.
"Life sciences is (growing) three times faster than we can build computers to store the data coming out of gene sequencing," Enriquez said. "We will double the amount of data generated by humans across time in the next five years."
For agriculture, the ability to read and manipulate an organism's code has unlimited potential.
"We can sequence maize and cow genomes and make identical copies. We are starting to re-write life. This is a big deal," Enriquez said.
Twenty genetically-modified goats in western Massachusetts produce Food and Drug Administration-approved medicines for human use. Each goat is valued at about $1 million — the same price tag as IBM's first commercial computer.
Understanding life code means it is not necessary to execute the entire genetic code. By utilizing parts of the genome, the regrowth of human body parts is possible. Damaged teeth can regenerate in a Petri dish. Damaged heart valves and bladders can be repaired. Human limbs lost to disease, accidents, and war can be re-grown.
BASF and Toyota are among the world's largest companies heavily investing in life science, Enriquez says. For General Electric, life science is the fastest-growing component of the company; today generating about 14 percent of the company's revenue.
For ever-changing agriculture, the evolving life-science industry perceives farmland as much more than food, feed, and fiber production. Plants are giant solar panels with the capacity to produce incredible amounts of energy.
The corn plant has been designed to directly produce biodegradable plastic. In Tennessee, DuPont is making biodegradable plastic from bacteria instead of expensive petroleum.
"This is coming at your (agriculture) business pretty quickly," Enriquez said. "We're beginning to understand people's metabolism, how food grows, and code. There is a big do-it-yourself biology movement out there."
Research suggests a purple gene in modified tomatoes can increase a mouse's life span from 142 days to 182 days in mice bred to get cancer. Imagine how this refined technology could extend a human life with cancer.
Enriquez raised this question to the produce crowd. Should we purchase all natural, 100-percent organic broccoli at $4 or all natural, 100-percent genetically-modified (cancer-fighting) broccoli for $8? Which would you buy?
Advancements in grain are the first stage of agriculture's genomic revolution. About 80 percent of the grain consumed today in North America is genetically modified.
Advancements in gluten research are a major benefit for those allergic to gluten. Battling diabetes through genomic advancements is also on researchers' front burner.
The bottom line – the opportunities for genomics in agriculture are endless.

Did you try a differen hdmi cabel? Could be the cable or just a firty port I had this issue a few years ago and actually just removed and repluged the cabel a few times fixed the issue
Length of hdmi wire could be a factor or coroded or dirty imput could be a factor. Years ago when i switched a bd player i had to use a signal amp It was a 30 ft run from bd to projector.
I think issue is somewhere else or I suspect HDMI port on Blu-Ray Player has died now.

Largest USB flash drive for BDP-S590?
I have a Lexar USB 3.0 128GB flash drive that my S590 just can't seem to use correctly. Rarely, it might work but, usually, it's not even recognized. I currently use USB 3.0 64GB flash drives and they're fine. Is 128GB just too large for the S590 to access? Thanks!

my 590 keeps puking when I use Youtube. Much buffering and messages that file is too large, and then often it locks up and only by unplugging/plugging it back in does it work again. Guess time for a modern streamer

This report by KPMG and the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) is based on surveys and structured interviews conducted between October 2011 and February 2012 with 150 hedge fund managers from around the globe. The topics included the continuing institutionalization of the business, the changing face of hedge fund operations, the growing emphasis on transparency and due diligence, the ongoing regulatory challenges, and the future of the industry.
In the years before the global financial crisis, the global hedge fund industry experienced dynamic growth, reaching US$2 trillion in assets under management (AUM) in 2008. That period of growth was marked by increased institutional investment as pension funds and university endowments were attracted by uncorrelated returns and low volatility. However, high net worth individuals, traditionally the main investors in hedge funds, were still the leading investors in the industry.

According to the Associated Press
Michelle Obama says her daughters aren't on Facebook, and that's the way she likes it.
The first lady says her girls, Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, have certain restrictions that other children don't have because of Secret Service security issues. But she also said during an interview on NBC's "Today Show" on Wednesday that she's "not a big fan of young kids having Facebook."
Even if the girls weren't living in the White House, Mrs. Obama says Facebook is "not something they need." Maybe when they get older, she added.
What age do you think is to young to have a Facebook account?

GRAND RAPIDS –Gustav Nyquist is the first Grand Rapids Griffins player to earn American Hockey League First All-Star Team honors in seven years.
Nyquist, who leads the Griffins in points and is among the leader in a number of other categories, became the sixth player in franchise history and the first since Donald MacLean in 2006 to receive the honor.
The 23-year old native of Halmstad, Sweden, has 60 points through 58 games, even though he has missed 12 of Grand Rapids' past 13 games due to being called up by the parent Detroit Red Wings. His 37 assists, nine power play goals and 25 power play points also lead the team, and he is eighth in the AHL in scoring. In fact, he was leading the AHL in scoring at the time of his recall to Detroit.
Nyquist, 5-foot-11, 185-pounds, was the third-round pick by the Red Wings in 2008. He joins former Griffins Niklas Kronwall (2004-05), Marc Lamothe (2002-03), John Gruden (2001-02) and Martin Prusek (2001-02) as first-team all-stars in addition to MacLean.
The all-star team is selected by AHL coaches, players and media in each of the 30 cities. The team also features left wing Jonathan Audy-Marchessault (Springfield) and center Tyler Johnson (Syracuse); defensemen Justin Schultz (Oklahoma City) and Sami Vatanen (Norfolk); and goaltender Niklas Svedberg (Providence).
The AHL Second All-Star Team consists of left wing Matt Fraser (Texas), center Jeff Taffe (Hershey) and right wing Brett Connolly (Syracuse); defensemen Mark Barberio (Syracuse) and Adam Clendening (Rockford); and goaltender Curtis McElhinney (Springfield)

Finding someone both passionate and informed about politics is not always an easy task, something that members from both sides of the political spectrum have learned in recent years.
In the most recent local election cycles, many races saw only one candidate, leaving the public with no options for who their local lawmakers would be in the coming years. All nine council seats are up for election in November. In 2011, there was only one contested race for the council. In 2009, there were no contested council races.
According to Vince DeJoy, D-Ward IV, both Democrats and Republicans have found it difficult to recruit candidates for City Council and Chautauqua County Legislature who can bring their life, business experience, financial resources and time commitment it takes to run for office.
"There is no political fundraising machine for candidates," DeJoy said. "These races are self-funded and take an extraordinary amount of time away from your family and normal activities just to run for an office that is virtually a volunteer-like position with a small stipend. The Jamestown Democratic Committee has been fortunate in that we have found candidates that have the passion to serve and are willing to make the time commitments necessary to win and then govern. The city Democrats hold six of the nine council seats and all of the Jamestown county legislative seats, which is a good position to be in for the 2013 election."
With only three remaining seats not held by the Democrats, Republicans have found it equally as difficult to recruit people that want to be involved in the political process.
"Each year we'll look over the election books and try to find people that might possibly be interested in doing some type of work for our committee," said Tony Dolce, R-Ward II. "We're always looking for people that want to voluntarily be involved, that way they can learn and understand the process, which makes them more apt to run for office in the future."
Dolce echoed DeJoy's sentiment regarding the commitment that is required for a position in the local political machine.
"Running for these positions is a huge committment, both personally and financially," said Dolce. "A lot of people that might otherwise get involved are kind of reluctant because of that fact. Politics is a difficult job, whatever level you're looking at. It's a lot of work and you get a lot of criticism, so it makes many people think twice about running, especially if it involves challenging an incumbent. Overall, there are a lot of different issues that play into it."
Because of this reluctance to run, many local elections have seen races run without opposition in recent years, leading to a low voter turnout in many cases. In some cases however, even with exciting races, voter turnout has still failed to see impressive numbers, according to DeJoy.
"Perhaps more coverage from the local media would help to spur interest in these races," said DeJoy. "The candidates don't have the financial resources to buy commercials or even print advertisements. It is about lawn signs and door-to-door to get the message out. Meeting people face-to-face at their door is still the best way to campaign, but it is next to impossible to reach even 50 percent of the voters in your given ward or district. I do, however, believe that when it comes to City Council, there aren't the spirited political discussions that fall along ideological dogma. The Jamestown City Council members from all three parties been very collaborative in establishing policy that has the people of our city in mind, and not special interests."

Hi Megan, well when you call to make an appointment it seems they ask you about when the last time was that you visited your dentist. They recommend that you visit your dentist to make sure that your teeth are healthy. I can't say... READ COMMENT

With an increase in sales of 277 percent between 2011 and 2012, Support Enterprises Inc. has expanded its operation.
On Wednesday, company officials displayed their new 5,000 square feet of working space and product lines during an open house. Those attending the open house had an opportunity to look at products, observe some of its manufacturing operations and speak with business officials. There were also giveaways of company merchandise.
Support Enterprises is an independent, for-profit corporation that collaborates closely with The Resource Center. Support Enterprises performs subcontracting work for The Resource Center's manufacturing operations, and a portion of the business's profits are used to support people with disabilities through The Resource Center and TRC Foundation.

Support Enterprises, which works in collaboration with The Resource Center, primarily serves the U.S. military, but it also creates products for businesses and the public. At right, military items like supply bags and vests Support Enterprises Inc. makes for the U.S. military are shown.

Paul Cesana, The Resource Center executive director, said prior to Support Enterprises' expansion, The Resource Center had to subcontract with other manufactures to complete products - like first-aid kits - it was making for the U.S. military. However, now Support Enterprises can make those products. Also, the company makes new innovative products for consumer use made from similar materials it uses for its military supplies.
''Support Enterprises is a for-profit entity. It is not as constrained as The Resource Center because it is for-profit,'' Cesana said. ''We make a good, quality product at an excellent cost, and it's made in America.''
Support Enterprises is a full-service industrial sewing operation that occupies The Landing, 85 Jones & Gifford Ave., in Jamestown. Support Enterprises primarily serves the U.S. military. The business also uses its sewing knowledge to create products for businesses and the general public. Consumer product lines include children's drawstring backpacks, duffle bags, timber totes, firewood rack covers, grocery tote bags, ladies' handbags, beach bags, fully contained motorcycle covers, tool bags, tool belts, canine vests and backpacks. Industrial products include fabric-based straps, pulleys or other similar products to fit the needs of a manufacturing company. Support Enterprises can perform silk screening and embroidery on most of its products, as well.
''In 2011-12 fiscal year, 99 percent of our revenue was through subcontracting to (The Resource Center) and we had four new customers for our services,'' said Michael Suppa, Support Enterprises planning and operations vice president. ''In the first six months of 2012, 81 percent of our business was with (The Resource Center) and we had 10 new customers totaling the remaining 19 percent of our overall revenue. As you tour the facility, you will see the diversity of products we are capable of making from military to industry to commercial.''
Support Enterprises also has a research and design team to take a concept and turn it into a prototype. Jeremy Weilacher, Support Enterprises support prototype manager, said the business is researching and designing products for the military, like one-release break-apart backpacks. At the same time, the company is designing covers for lawn mowers made out of the same quality material that goes into the products being designed for the military.
''This cover will last longer than your lawn mower,'' he said about a lawn mower cover on display during the open house that is made from a similar material that goes into making specialty kits for the military.
In addition to its Jamestown manufacturing space, Support Enterprises has a manufacturing location on East Chestnut Street in Dunkirk. Together, the two locations currently employ about 50 people.
For more information about Support Enterprises, call 661-1028 or visit its website at www.supportent.com.
