Superior, WI (Northlands Newscenter) - The Food Service Marketplace is the newest attempt by the Mariner Mall in Superior to have a stable business plan.
Longtime Superior Resident, Steve Sorensen says he's attempting to fill a void in the city that he's noticed for a long time.
Sorensen, who owns the Food Service Marketplace says his grocery store will open by the end of the week to provide bulk food retail to restaurants and customers.
Sorensen decided to place his business at the Mariner Mall due to the large amount of space available.
Suzyn Cragin, the Property Manager of Leasing for Mariner Mall, says she's delighted that there are now two anchor retail stores at Mariner Mall.
"Food Service Marketplace is going to be a great anchor for us. You've got them on one end with Yonkers on the other, our Yonkers does fabulous. So we've got two nice anchor stores now and then with food service also having a drive through we're hoping that that will help and maybe start, I would like to start seeing a little more retail come in."
The mall has leased 48 thousand square feet in the last four months, much of it for business as opposed to retail. Managers say this new business model has filled 80 percent of the mall... much better than a year ago.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – Today the California Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Legislature's power to abolish redevelopment agencies ("RDAs") statewide. This decision adopted arguments made by the County of Santa Clara ("County"), a party to the case. The result is that scarce public dollars will return to schools, counties, fire districts and other local agencies to perform vital public services.
The County joined as a respondent in the case, California Redevelopment Association et al. v. Matosantos et al. (California Supreme Court Case No. S194861), shortly after it was filed. The controversy centered on the validity of two legislative bills that were passed as part of the state's FY 2012 budget. The first, ABX1 26, abolished all redevelopment agencies in the state through an orderly wind-down process. The second, ABX1 27, created a new voluntary redevelopment program. The Court unanimously upheld ABX1 26; and, by a 6-1 vote, it struck down ABX1 27 as a violation of Proposition 22. The end result is that redevelopment agencies throughout the state will be required to wind-down operations and public dollars will be returned to local governments as redevelopment debts are fulfilled."Redevelopment has had a huge negative effect on local governments' ability to provide basic public services," said Miguel Márquez, Santa Clara County Counsel. "Prior to today's ruling, redevelopment agencies received 12 percent of all property tax revenue in the state. The Court affirmed that the Legislature may abolish redevelopment agencies to better serve the needs of all Californians during these difficult economic times."In Santa Clara County alone, this decision will eventually mean a return of $90 million annually that can be used for critical health and safety services and vital infrastructure provided by the County, and over $150 million annually for schools within the County."This decision does not mean an end to economic development or redevelopment activities, just an end to the diversion of money to redevelopment agencies," said Jeffrey V. Smith, Santa Clara County Executive. "In fact, the County – which does not have its own redevelopment agency – already plays a large role in job creation, public safety and economic development. The Court's decision will help the County address the enormous needs in public safety, health care, and transportation infrastructure such as roads and expressways.""We look forward to implementing the careful wind down of redevelopment that the Legislature directed," said Vinod Sharma, Santa Clara County Director of Finance. "We are pleased that the County's participation in this case has led to the correct outcome, which will benefit schools and local governments for years to come."

UNIONS: The Oregonian looks at the clout of the public employee unions and some of their challenges in the upcoming session, particularly over Gov. John Kitzhaber's proposal to cap the cost-of-living increase in public employee pensions over $24,000. Written by yours truly, I will discuss the story in a live webchat at noon Monday.
PERS INVESTMENTS: While we're on the subject of pensions, The Oregonian's Ted Sickinger reports that the state's pension fund had a strong year in 2012, with returns up 14 percent. That reduces the size of the unfunded liability from just over $16 billion to $14 billion.
IMMIGRATION: Peter Wong of the Salem Statesman Journal looks at immigration issues in the upcoming session, particularly a bill to allow in-state college tuition to all residents, regardless of their immigration status.
STUDDED TIRES: Two bills filed for the upcoming session would place a fee on studded tires to help offset the damage they do to roads, the Statesman Journal reports. Another bill would require a permit to use studded tires.
MARIJUANA IN OREGON: An official from the Marijuana Policy Project, which played a key role in passage of Colorado's legalization measure, told Oregon pot activists Sunday that they should be aiming for a 2016 initiative here. He said it's better to wait to have the marijuana issue on the ballot in a presidential year when turnout will be higher, The Oregonian reports. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., also attended the meeting and said he supported easing federal prohibitions against marijuana.
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER: Myrlie Evers-Williams, who just gave the invocation at President Barack Obama's second inauguration, is moving from her home in Bend and will split her time between California and Mississippi, according to the Bend Bulletin. Evers-Williams, 79, lived in Bend for 25 years and is the widow of Medgar Evers, the civil rights leader slain in 1963.

Joslin Study Shows Durability of Insulin Pump Therapy for Adolescents and Identifies Factors to Help Them Overcome Barriers to S
BOSTON, October 31, 2006, (Joslin) -- In spite of its many advantages, there are many challenges to using an insulin pump to treat type 1 diabetes. Despite these challenges, however, more and more youngsters are choosing pump therapy, even though important questions remain about the pump's effectiveness for this age group: With all its risks and demands, is it a method of treatment that children and teens can maintain? What causes adolescents to go off of pump therapy and how often does this occur? Is it possible to identify those youth unable to meet the demands of pump therapy and to find interventions that will help them succeed? Now, in the first long-term investigation conducted among pediatric patients who chose to go on pump therapy (rather than using it as part of a clinical trial), a new study in the November issue of Diabetes Care by researchers in the Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Section at Joslin Diabetes Center, is providing answers. Following a group of 161 children and adolescents, ages 4-21, for an average of four years, the researchers have shown that with proper training and follow-up, for the great majority of patients--more than 80 percent of the children in this study--insulin pump therapy provides a lasting and effective mode of treatment. They also identified several factors that put patients at risk for failure in adapting to pump use."More than 130 patients were able to use the pump effectively," says senior author, Lori Laffel, M.D., M.P.H., Chief of Joslin's Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section, an Investigator in the Genetics and Epidemiology Section and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. "By looking at differences between the patients who remained on pump therapy and those who returned to injected insulin, we were able to identify factors present even at the start of pump therapy that were predictive of failure. For example, patients who resumed injection therapy checked their blood glucose levels less often from the start. Healthcare providers can use this information to provide more education, more psychosocial support, and more frequent visits directed at increasing blood glucose monitoring from the start of pump therapy to help kids to succeed." "The fact that such a high percentage of patients succeeded proves that pump therapy is a viable mode of treatment for children and teens with type 1 diabetes," says the paper's lead author, Jamie Wood, M.D., Staff Physician and Research Associate at Joslin and Instructor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. "Our job now is to overcome the barriers to pump therapy, so more patients can benefit from its advantages." Starting on an insulin pump requires considerable training. Before beginning pump therapy, patients in the study and their families met with their healthcare team that included a pediatric endocrinologist, a nurse educator and a registered dietitian. The team taught them the mechanics of using and maintaining the pump, how to count carbohydrates, calibrate their insulin requirements and treat risks associated with pump therapy, such as site infections, diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels). A mental health clinician also met with the children and their families to ensure they were ready to meet any challenges and to help them set up realistic expectations for ongoing diabetes management with the pump.At three points during the study--the clinical visit just before starting on the pump, one year after initiation, and then at the study's close in January 2005--researchers gathered data on A1C levels (a measurement that indicates the average blood glucose over the past 2 to 3 months), rate of daily blood glucose monitoring and growth parameters (height, weight and body-mass index). These data also were monitored at the time of discontinuation for patients who stopped using the pump. Examining the data associated with success and failure, the researchers observed several significant differences between the two groups of patients, one of which was present at the initiation of pump therapy. "We found that patients who were successful measured their blood glucose levels four or more times a day before they began pump therapy, while those who discontinued pump therapy measured them less," says Dr. Wood.They also discovered that the patients who stayed on the pump had achieved better glycemic control than the patients who discontinued pump therapy. After the first year on pump therapy, the A1C levels of the group that succeeded dropped significantly. Although these levels subsequently rose to near the levels they were at the start of pump therapy, the group still was able to avoid the deterioration of blood glucose control that happens frequently among adolescents. Caused by such factors as increases in growth and puberty hormones, or the declining adherence to good health practices that occurs as they become more independent from their parents, deteriorating glucose control puts youth at greater risk for developing serious complications later in life. The youth in the group that succeeded also experienced decreased rates of hypoglycemia with pump therapy. The patients who later resumed injection therapy, however, experienced rising blood glucose levels while they were on the pump. Furthermore, while the rate of severe hypoglycemia before beginning pump therapy was similar between the two groups, in the year following the start of pump therapy the patients who discontinued pump therapy experienced a significantly higher rate of severe hypoglycemic episodes. "Our research suggests several approaches for improving success rates with pump therapy," says Dr. Wood. "When you evaluate if a person is ready to begin pump therapy, and you can see he or she is monitoring blood glucose levels only two or three times a day, you can suggest that the patient take some extra time to increase monitoring frequency before starting the pump. Or if you have a patient who doesn't show improvement in glycemic control in the first six months of pump therapy, you can try to find out what is interfering with success and help overcome any barriers. Our goal is not to determine which patients should be denied pump therapy, but to make it possible for more people to succeed with this remarkable tool." Also participating in the study were Britta M. Svoren, M.D., Deborah A. Butler, M.S.W., L.I.C.S.W., and Lisa K. Volkening of Joslin, and Elaine C. Moreland, M.D., previously at Joslin and now at the University of Alabama and Children's Hospital, in Birmingham. The study was funded in part by the Katherine Adler Astrove Youth Education Fund, the Maria Griffin Drury Pediatric Endowment Fund and grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Periodontal Therapy Helps Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Japanese researchers find oxidative stress levels lower to those of nondiabetic patientsCHICAGO, October 31, 2006 (Eurekalert)- Patients with type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease who receive periodontal therapy see levels of oxidative stress, a condition in which antioxidant levels are lower than normal, reduced to the same levels as nondiabetic patients, according to a new study that appeared in the November issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP).Researchers from Kyushu Dental College in Kitakyushu, Japan investigated the impact of periodontal therapy on patients with Type 2 diabetes, as compared to nondiabetic patients. They found that periodontal therapy decreased lipid peroxide (LPO), an oxidative stress index, in diabetic patients."Our research emphasized one of the benefits of having periodontal therapy for patients with diabetes," said Dr. Kazuo Sonoki, M.D. PhD at Kyushu Dental College, one of the study authors. "However, this was just a preliminary study and more research should be conducted to evaluate how periodontal disease affects both people with and without diabetes."It has been found that diabetes and periodontal disease can lead to atherosclerosis, which occurs when deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the inner lining of an artery. This buildup is called plaque. It has been thought that oxidative stress is linked to heart disease because oxidation of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) in the endothelium is a precursor to plaque formation. Recently, oxidative stress has emerged as an important factor for atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes."We hear every day about how more and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes," said Preston D. Miller, DDS and AAP President. "This research confirms that patients with diabetes should be especially conscious of their periodontal health. While more research needs to be done to evaluate the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes, we do know that treating periodontal diseases can save teeth, and can promote overall health."

THURSDAY NIGHT UPDATE: A Target representative explained the billboards are part of a campaign to introduce fresh food to its 28 remodeled stores in Metro Detroit.
DETROIT, MI - Intriguing billboards that appear to advertise for Target are popping up around Metro Detroit and lead to speculation the company could be ready to make a big move in the Motor City.
A Target representative, however, won't confirm or deny if the "Hello, Detroit" billboards mean the chain will soon set up shop in the city.
Target's responses via Twitter to my questions about the billboards (see photo above of a billboard I spotted Wednesday night in Warren on Van Dyke, just north of 8 Mile Road).
@EricLacy Thanks for asking. We're currently remodeling the Sterling Heights store and expanding the Grocery department. You'll love it!— AskTarget (@AskTarget) October 24, 2013
@EricLacy At this time I don't have other details to share, but I'll be sure to pass along your interest to our real estate executives.— AskTarget (@AskTarget) October 24, 2013
Attempts by MLive Detroit this week to reach Target officials over the phone have been unsuccessful.
The idea of Target possibly coming to Detroit shouldn't be considered a far-fetched one.
Meijer, a Michigan company, recently opened up a $20 million supercenter in the city at 8 Mile and Woodward, and it has appeared to experience plenty of success and few problems.
And a new Whole Foods Market in Detroit's Midtown neighborhood has reportedly exceeded co-CEO Walter Robb's "wildest expectations."

The Leader-Herald
CAROGA - Tom Healey does his creative work both at home in central New Jersey and at his summer residences, but the inspiration he gets from this region is most evident in his new art exhibit at the Caroga Historical Museum, aptly titled "Adirondack Influences."

'The Fishing Lesson,' by Tom Healey.
The show, his first solo exhibit in the Adirondacks, opened last week and will remain on display through July 28. It features dozens of Healey's oil and acrylic paintings, wood carvings, pen-and-ink drawings and handmade rustic chairs.
Many of the paintings capture the spirit of Canada Lake in the summertime, depicting swimmers, boaters, fresh air and mountain greenery.
"I've had a deep connection up here my whole life," says Healey, whose extended family shares a home built by his great-grandfather on Canada Lake's Kasson Drive.
Article Links
"He loved Canada Lake so much," Healey said. "He had two children, and he built a six-bedroom home with the hope that it would stay in the family, which it has. It's now shared by over 100 people."
So they could spend more of the summer in the Adirondacks, Healey and his wife bought a small cabin in Piseco about three years ago.
Healey said he's been interested in art his whole life, having taken his first art class in his senior year of high school. Later, he was able to pursue that interest in the military.
"In 1972, I enlisted in the Marine Corps, and they made me an illustrator - an unusual case where the military actually used a talent that I had," he said. "I was stationed in Virginia and illustrated field manuals."
After his service, he studied fine arts at SUNY Brockport for three years, later turning his summer job as a house painter into a full-time occupation as a painting contractor.
"I just kept painting - it paid the bills," he said.
Healey says he's come to terms with the fact that fine art didn't turn into his full-time career, and he enjoys the freedom of treating it as a serious recreational pursuit.
"It's kind of a gift - I'm free to create what I want," he says.
The Caroga Historical Museum is on London Bridge Road, between Caroga Lake and Canada Lake. It is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in July and August.

A startling collection of people gathered last week at a pleasant restaurant at a private club overlooking Birmingham's glittering skyline.
An Alabama Power Co. exec toasted one of the state's most powerful Democratic strategists, who clinked glasses with a Birmingham city councilman, who raised his wine alongside the head of Leadership Birmingham -- who doubles as a candidate for a spot on the Birmingham Water Works Board.
Big Mules and Blue Dots dining together, with some over-the-mountain rah-rah and Birmingham city mixed in? What on earth could be the occasion?
A bachelor party.
Yep. Bachelor party.
That, at least, was the story from those who sat around the table at The View at The Club. Jeff Pitts and Jason Anderson of Matrix LLC, Alabama Power VP John Hudson III, Councilman Jay Roberson and Leadership Birmingham's Ann Florie met to toast Anderson's upcoming wedding.
It had nothing -- nothing -- to do with Florie's bid for the water board, according to those at the table. Sure, that's a hard-fought council appointment, but this shindig was all about Anderson's bachelor party.
Poor guy. There wasn't even a cake, much less somebody to jump out of it.
You might blame that on this odd assortment of party-goers. Don't they just take the cake?
But give Florie some credit. She said later she knew Roberson would be at The Club, and that she hoped to talk to him about the appointment. It just never came up.
"To be honest, I wish it had," she said.
And why not? On Monday, the city council will begin to interview eleven applicants for the water works job. Debate will rage over some of them. A bigger debate will rage, no doubt, over whether the council can use its "extreme circumstances" out to give Fultondale Mayor Jim Lowery a third term.
Which is a laugher. If the Water Works is in such a state of emergency that only Lowery's re-appointment can save it, it's not worth saving.
The fact is, the water board is a political plum, coveted not only because it actually pays decent pocket money, but because it funnels so much cash to lawyers, consultants, and an array of subcontractors across the city. Some of those, by the way, contribute heavily to council campaigns.
It takes more than a sweet smile to get a gig like that -- which is probably why Lowery was seen having drinks with Councilman Johnathan Austin last week at a downtown restaurant. Florie, now that I think of it, turned up there as well.
This appointment takes politics, sadly. And politicking. It might even require corporate influence, drinks with politicos and camaraderie with a bunch like Matrix, which has handled campaigns for Councilwoman Carole Smitherman, Mayor William Bell, Austin and other council members. It -- and Pitts in particular -- was a big player under ex-Mayor Larry Langford.
This thing will get ugly, because water board appointments always do. It starts with council interviews Monday.
Maybe the bachelor party was just last week. The honeymoon, though, is almost over.

Malmstrom: Ibanez signature instrument not on the cards
Darkane's Christofer Malmstrom, a long-time endorser of Ibanez guitars, has revealed that a signature instrument bearing his name is not on the horizon right now.
"I don't know," he said when questioned about the possibility. "I don't think there are any plans for that so far, but yeah, that would be cool. I love Ibanez guitars, they fit my style perfectly."
Another musical instrument manufacturer that apparently suits Malmstrom is Behringer.
He told the publication that his band use Behringer V-amps live and stated that while the company's products are cheap, they also "sound very good".
Few musicians have had their own Ibanez signature guitars produced over the years.
Among those who do have instruments named after them are Steve Vai, Herman Li, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert.Posted on 16 Mar 2009 11:56 to category : Band / Celebrity News

Walkway Remnant
A solitary remnant of the second-story walkway system, an important element of the original campus design, has been maintained at the entrance to the Architecture and Art building. The sign bearing the building name now covers it completely.
Measuring 200 feet in length, this particular walkway was unique in that it was constructed of steel, not granite, and it was the only screened walkway on campus. The box truss design made it possible to lower the structure into place over the brick-enclosed Commonwealth Edison property just west of Architecture and Art.
Behind the south wall of the enclosure, the Com Ed building still stands, although the electrical substation is no longer in use. Original Netsch-designed gates provide access to the interior.

WASHINGTON TWP. — The lovable losers have had a complete makeover. When the Red team won the Washington Township Women's Softball League championship for the second time in three years on July 11, they may have finally put their past reputation to rest.
"Our motto was, 'Losers on the field, winners at the bar,'" joked player/manager Lisa Minner, referring to the team's penchant for lively post-game gatherings at Ott's — win, lose or draw. "Now we're winners on the field, winners all-around."
The Red is one of four teams in the adult slow-pitch league, which just completed its 11th season. The other teams are Black, Yellow and Blue, which has been a league power for many of those years.
Even though the current core of Red has been together for a few years now, the team — perhaps the most senior team in the league with a handful of players over the age of 50 — didn't enjoy a breakthrough season until two years ago when it won the league title for the first time, completing a perfect 9-0 season with a win over the now-defunct Purple team in the final.
This year's title came as more of a surprise as the team struggled through a pedestrian 4-4 regular season before playing its best softball of the season, beating Black 3-0 in the semifinals on July 8 before sealing the deal with a 9-6 upset over previously-unbeaten Blue three nights later. In fact, Blue (9-1), the defending league champion, had beaten Red in each of their three regular-season meetings.
Red overcame an inauspicious start, falling behind 4-0 in the first inning. Red then exploded for a six-run fourth, but Blue rallied to tie it at 6-6 to set up a remarkable finish. After Kirstin Schreiber had given Red a 9-6 lead with a two-out, three-run home run in the top of the seventh, Blue seemed poised to answer in the bottom of the inning by loading the bases with no outs.
Then it happened.
Schreiber caught a fly ball in the outfield for the first out and fired to third to double off the runner, who had broke for home at the crack of the bat. Third baseman Rachel Taylor then threw to second to try to triple off the runner there, but her throw ended up in the outfield. Staci Wagner retrieved the ball, fired it to second baseman Maria Ford, who then fired the relay to Taylor at third. Taylor applied the tag to nail the advancing runner and complete a rare triple play, ending the game and launching a celebration.
"We might have had a triple play back in my first or second season, but what a time for another," said shortstop Trish Brown, one of three original Red team members along with Minner and winning pitcher Peg Bradford.
"That was unbelievable — we couldn't have had a better finish," said Schreiber, who had slumped before her home run that plated Minner and Michelle Hayes with the go-ahead runs.
Schreiber, who received the game ball afterward, homered using a borrowed bat from Brown, who was happy to oblige.
"It didn't work for me, but I'm glad it worked for her," said Brown.
"I hadn't been hitting all season and everyone kept telling me to just relax," Schreiber said. "When I got a hit in my previous at bat I felt, 'All right, I'm good.' I just had to relax. I could tell I had hit it well, but not that well.
"This win reminded me of the energy this team has. It was Red being Red. We didn't have it all season, but the last couple of games we put it all together, and that's what makes it fun. I don't think we expected it and that made it even sweeter."
Two years ago, Red became the first team in league history to go unbeaten en route to the league title, a feat Blue was attempting to match.
"It's been crazy — we've had injuries, we've had people who couldn't make it to some of the games," said Minner, who believes that the numerous rainouts that pushed to season to its latest finish date ever may have actually helped her team. "We seemed to get our winning attitude back again. We were pretty off for a while, and I think all the delays helped us get back to being the Red team. That's who we are, a team — friends first, teammates second."
Brown, who interrupted her summer in Wildwood to return for the rain-delayed playoff games, added, "It's great that we're still the only team to have gone undefeated to win the title. In our first playoff game, I knew we were going to win. We came together. That was our best game, and this was our second best game. It really comes down to how you play in the last two games, and we made it count."

Instead, we should offer N8 (imo) to acquire a higher picked player once the sign and trade has come around. Thabeet or Rubio would be brilliant. They'll def be 2 & 3 now LAC have spoiled the suspicion on who they'll pick.
Someone said on here recently that N8 is a better passer than Rubio!?? WTF? You'll find out in about 5 months that's chronic b.s.

The Condition
The Capillaria species of nematode, or roundworm, are intestinal worms that can cause severe symptoms such as diarrhoea, weakness, weight loss and a drop in egg production. The condition is sometimes referred to as capillariasis. There are several species of Capillaria, and they cause paralysis of different parts of the alimentary tract, including the crop, oesophagus and the intestinal tract. Commonly, the Capillaria species are referred to as the threadworm or hairworm, and they can be highly pathogenic, causing severe disease.
The Capillaria are a small species of worms, and some tend to be restricted to free-range birds, as the intermediate host is the earthworm. Others have a more direct life cycle. Capillaria bursata is found only in chickens and its life cycle is dependent on the earthworm as an intermediate host. Capillaria caudinflata has a similar life cycle and can be found in a number of domestic poultry species. Capillaria obsignata can be a problem in deep-litter systems. This worm does not have an intermediate host and can be found in a number of poultry species.
The main site of infection of C. bursata, C. caudinflata and C. obsignata is the small intestine. Capillaria anatis is a parasite of the caecum and is found mainly in ducks. The main species afflicting turkeys and game birds are C. annulata and C. contorta. Capillaria obsignata (53.6%), Capillaria anatis (31.9%) and Capillaria caudinflata (1.5%) have been found in organic/free range systems in Denmark (Permin et al, 1999). Amongst Dutch organic poultry farms, Capillaria, along with coccidiosis, was the second most prevalent internal parasite, being present in 30% of the faeces samples examined (Iepema et al.,2006)..
Capillaria obsignata has a direct development. Freshly deposited eggs require 6-8 days to develop completely formed embryos. The eggs remain infective for a period of up to 14 days. Following the ingestion of the worm eggs from the pasture, the embryo escapes from the egg and completes its development in the duodenum of the host bird. Birds infected with C. obsignata spend much of their time apart from the rest of the flock, huddled on the ground or corner of the house. They develop diarrhoea and the feathers are ruffled. These first clinical symptoms are noted at approximately 12 days after infection.
Capillaria annulata occurs in the crop and oesophagus. These worms are long and thread-like. The developmental cycle involves the earthworm. Eggs passed in bird faeces develop slowly to produce larvae which are infective to earthworms. At normal temperatures, this can take 3-4 weeks. The infective stage in the earthworm is reached 2-3 weeks after ingestion. The worm develops to maturity in a bird approximately 1-2 months after the earthworm has been ingested.
Capillaria contorta, which occurs in the oesophagus, crop and mouth of a number of bird species, has a direct life-cycle. Eggs become infective to birds 4-6 weeks after they have been passed in faeces.
Poor drainage and ventilation and the feeding of birds off the ground have been associated with infections of Capillaria species. The nematode eggs are markedly resistant to adverse conditions and they may survive on pasture or in deep-litter houses for a considerable period. The larval stages of those that pass through the earthworm probably survive as long as the earthworms survive.
Capillaria caudinflata, which occurs in the small intestine, also has the earthworm as a secondary host.
The presence of Capillaria can be detected by post-mortem microscopic examination of mucosal washings.

Tonight's presidential debate in Philadelphia signals the start of the mad final lap by Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton acround Pennsylvania ahead of Tuesday's primary.
Obama announced plans for what his campaign is calling a five-day "On Track for Change" Tour that starts with town hall meetings Friday in Erie and Williamsport and end with a rally on Independence Mall in Philadelphia that night.
Of course, he's got to get back to Pennsylvania first. He's off to North Carolina for a day of campaigning on Thursday.
On Saturday, the Pennsylvania tour continues as Obama, who bill's himself as the candidate of the future, boards a train from Philadelphia for an old fashioned whistle-stop tour across southeastern Pennsylvania that will end in Harrisburg.
Clinton, meanwhile, will be doing her own version of the Pennsylvania primary marathon with stops planned from Haverford on Thursday to York, Scranton, Erie and places in between.
Details TBA.

Whether you're looking to ski the world-famous Rocky Mountains, explore the many cities and towns or enjoy our breathtaking natural beauty, you'll find your perfect adventure in Colorado. With four distinct seasons, 300 days of annual sunshine and great vacation values, now is the perfect time to plan your holiday.
From vast prairie grasslands to the majestic mountains, rushing rivers to desert landscapes, Colorado is unlike anywhere else. The highest-altitude state in America offers an unbelievable selection of wildlife and natural wonders as well as rich cultural heritage found in frontier forts, narrow-gauge railways, mining museums, dinosaur fossils, through to the art of American Indians and ancient cliff dwellings.
With so many great things to see and do throughout the state all year long, there's never a bad time to be here. So no matter what kind of adventure you're looking for, we'll have it waiting for you.
Colorado Highlights
Don't leave without tasting...
Buffalo meat! Residents of Morrison will tell you the Fort Restaurant is one of Colorado's best-kept secrets. Serving up mouth-watering meals inspired by the Old West, the restaurant is an authentic replication of the historic Bent's Fort.
Where locals go to relax
Nothing's more soothing than the natural hot springs bubbling up from underground streams flowing throughout the Rockies. Try Steamboat Springs, Glenwood Springs or Ouray.
You might be surprised by...
Believe it or not, North America's tallest sand dunes sit right up against steep mountains. The Great Sand Dunes National Park is truly unique. Besides, who wouldn't want to build a sand castle that no ocean will wash away?
Must-see museum
Just south of Durango, the Southern Ute Cultural Center provides an interactive experience paying homage to the Ute Indians. And in Denver, the Colorado History Museum includes everything from stories of early settlers to modern-day tales of what makes Colorado so special.
Your child will always remember...
Riding on a historic steam engine railway, such as the Georgetown Loop or the Durango to Silverton Railway.
Classic road trip
In the autumn, Highway 550 between Durango and Ouray offers a stunning collection of aspen leaves exploding with bright golden colours. It's no wonder this highway is nicknamed the 'Million Dollar Highway'.
Shopping heaven
The high-end retailers and exquisite boutiques at Cherry Creek Shopping Center and Cherry Creek North are the most popular shopping destinations for visitors. Also stroll along Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, a unique outdoor mall. And Antique Row on Broadway, just south of downtown Denver, is a must-visit. Trinkets and treasures are hidden within the dozens of shops.
Made in the state
Quarters (25-cent coins), dimes (ten-cent coins) and nickels (five-cent coins) are all struck at the Denver Mint, which gives great tours. Or visit the iconic Coors Brewery in Golden to get a behind-the-scenes look at the world's largest single-site brewery. Speaking of beer, more than 100 craft breweries can be found throughout the state.
Just want to indulge?
Colorado has many luxury hotels. Four of the best are: the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, the Little Nell Hotel in Aspen, Beaver Creek's Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch and Denver's Ritz-Carlton.
For your first visit...
Rocky Mountain National Park in Northern Colorado and Mesa Verde National Park in Southern Colorado both tell great stories. Rocky Mountain National Park is the setting of America's most scenic ancient mountain ranges (and a fantastic way to get within feet of the incredible wildlife). Meanwhile, Mesa Verde gives a close-up look at how ancestral Native American tribes thrived in Colorado.

Northern Cambria music program thrives despite cuts
NORTHERN CAMBRIA – The Northern Cambria School District music program has been nursing a "slow bleed" over the years, with less funding and less time for classroom instruction.
But the one thing Northern Cambria doesn't have less of is interest.
In only four years, the district's middle school and marching bands have both more than doubled, with the district able to boast 56 members in middle school band when there were only 12 a few years ago.
In an impassioned speech to school board members at a March 4 committee meeting, Music Director Lance Jones outlined all the benefits of music education.
"Music is all encompassing, and it's a great vehicle for education in general – whether it be math or science. The mechanics of music are math and science, and we try to talk about that in the ensemble as much as we possibly can," Jones said.
Jones' presentation included a PowerPoint outlining the other subjects covered in musical instruction, including foreign language, history and world cultures.
"It takes all these skills," he said. "You're applying all those disciplines simultaneously."
The upcoming May 21 spring concert titled "Across the Curriculum" is a perfect example of a liberal arts education through music, he said.
The first two selections celebrate Spanish and French, followed by a piece called "Lincoln at Gettysburg," to feature narration from high school history teacher Karen Bowman.
Jones said history and music from Civil War-era bands also was incorporated into lecture so the students could attach a meaning to what they were learning to play.
"It's all about a well-rounded, better educational experience across the board," he said.
Several Northern Cambria students said they are considering a career in music and feel a strong emotional connection to their art.
Flutist Victoria Cidor, 16, who also sings in chorus, began playing piano at age 4 and joined the school's band in fifth grade. She said music has inspired her to consider working in music performance or education.
"I love the connection to a piece when I am playing it and the release of emotion that takes place and the feeling when you are finished," she said in an email. "You are exhausted from putting all that you have into the music."
Cidor said music has made her more patient, a better listener and has helped her work as part of a team.
Percussionist Robert Bailey, 17, who also joined the band in fifth grade, said music has taught him balance and given him a greater appreciation for teamwork.
"When I am playing in an ensemble, I can feel all of the different sounds, parts of something together and all of the different players becoming a single unit," he said. "It is a good feeling to be part of something bigger than yourself."
Jones said he spoke to the school board a few weeks ago to show the district just how important music is to its students.
There continues to be healthy growth in band and chorus despite declining school enrollment, and Jones said he's confident that the numbers will continue to grow.
The district also has been able to give its students wonderful opportunities, Jones said; in fall 2012, the district hosted the county band festival, and the spring before that Cambria Heights' band joined Northern Cambria to participate in a workshop with Pittsburgh-based composer Samuel Hazo.
The band was performing two Hazo pieces for its spring concert, Jones said, and the workshop allowed the students a chance to work with a nationally renowned composer and ask him questions.
"That was a cool experience," Jones said.
But the district could face more problems as interest in the music program continues to climb while funding decreases.
Superintendent John A. Jubas said the music department's programs have created a gathering place for the community.
"The effort here has been, certainly, a win-win opportunity, where total involvement and total cooperation has shown that we have a very successful music department and it continues to grow," he said.
Faculty and students both work incredibly hard, devoting hours of after-school time, for such productions to come together, and the band boosters and community have rallied together to keep things running smoothly.
"If any losses of money has occurred, they have worked hard to make up for that amount," he said. "The motivation here is the key. We're doing more with less."
Jones said he understands the district is in a difficult position, but he hopes there will be room to allow more time for one-on-one instruction, more festival participation for chorus and a possible expansion of instrumental music classes for fourth graders.
"I'm not asking for miracles," he said. "I trust we will do whatever we possibly can to serve the best interests of our kids.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won the Michigan and Arizona primaries, but the victories may not be enough to quell the doubts about his candidacy.
Romney came in ahead in the Republican presidential primaries Tuesday over rival Rick Santorum by 3 percent in Michigan and 21 percent in Arizona.
"We didn't win by a lot but we won by enough and that's what counts," Romney said in his victory speech in Michigan.
Romney's slim victory doesn't fully lay to rest the questions about his strategy and his candidacy. Romney is on wobbly ground going into 10 Super Tuesday contests next week. His struggle for the past two weeks to win Michigan by a slight margin illuminate his inability to connect with voters.
Wins for Romney on Super Tuesday March 6 would quiet the open talk of finding a new candidate to enter the race. In recent weeks, Republicans have worried about the current crop of candidates, including Romney, Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
Whispers indicate some GOP leaders would like a new candidate to step forward. But after Super Tuesday, the filing period for presidency remains open in only seven states.
The narrow victory in Michigan also exposed his weak support among social conservatives who turned more toward rival Santorum.
Although Santorum took second in both states Tuesday, he's still an obstacle for Romney winning the nomination. Santorum took a bruising in the states, but he's still standing as a candidate going into Super Tuesday. However, he needs to keep in mind that the voters in Michigan and Arizona were mostly voting based on electability.
In the Super Tuesday states, Santorum is leading in Ohio, Tennessee and Oklahoma while Romney is leading in Massachusetts and Vermont. Santorum's strategy is to stop Romney's momentum with several victories on Super Tuesday, pick up delegates and cast further doubt within the Republican party that Romney is the party's best choice to face Barack Obama in November's general election.

On the last day of school, my daughter's kindergarten class had a "drive-in" activity. We were given a project to make a box car. I've never made a box car before, especially out of a cardboard box, so I knew this was going to be a challenge. My daughter was so excited about the car and since I am vouching for mother-of-the-year award, I waited until the day before the drive-in activity to make her car. Tsk, tsk…
We started off with a plain box and with the help from grandma, we ended up with an adorable purple car box. The next morning, when I dropped off my daughter at school, she was beaming with pride. My heart melted at how sweet she looked. At 10:00 am, all the parent were invited to walk with the kids, as they paraded around the school in their cars. It was about the most adorable experience of my life! The kids concluded their day with a showing of what else? Cars 2, of course! Take a look at my drive-in story!
Adorable, right? That was so, so cute!
I'm really going to miss kindergarten.

I pulled my 75' high 60' boom beam up and down several times in the last few years to make adjustments and finally to add 40m elements to the boom. Mine is not on top of a mast and nothing is below so it and I was able to do the jobwith almost no assistance, so maybe you were just having a bad day. Hopefully insulating the boom support center will help, assuming that you can support the boom while you're working on the truss. Please let us know how it works out. I have TIC ring rotators on my tower and the potential for boom interaction is great. I just noticed on your website that you shortened your 40m yagi, perhaps that is why it doesn't play as well as a few years ago?

I have an issue with this particular antenna since it folded my 35 year old gin pole when the antenna was almost at the top of the tower going up 18 months ago - not a fun experience. I really don't want to take it down and put it back up again. All the elements are already insulated. Actually looking at it today the side/vertical trusses are fiberglass rod that go out part way but the straight up vertical truss is 1/4" EHS (good news) which doesn't show up in the picture on the website. The only problem other than time may be to add a step or two to the truss support to insulate those vertical trusses in the center. I believe the truss support is approximately 8 feet above the boom. Kevin could perhaps reach it but I'm afraid his YF might not speak to me afterwards. :-) Modeling it as best I can the boom by itself is resonant around 7.2 Mhz. Insulating those guy wires in the center should do the trick. It moves it down to about 5.3 Mhz.

POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. -- University of Saint Francis freshman Spencer Comer dropped in two free throws like he was just shootin' in his driveway back in Rushville with three seconds to play lifting the Cougars to a heart-stopping 64-63 upset win over NAIA Top 25 No. 9 Jamestown College in the NAIA National Championship on early Thursday afternoon.
Byron Jones scored on a running jumper that he banked off the glass for a 63-62 lead with three seconds to play. Referees had to determine how much time should be left on the clock and in the time it took them to determine the correct time, USF Head Coach Chad LaCross with a suggestion from assistant Gay Martin suggested the baseline play that enabled Comer to draw a foul off a screen.
Comer stepped to the line and calmly spalshed in the first free throw to tie the game at 63. He mimicked his first free throw giving USF the one point lead.
JC (25-7) inbounded the ball to Jones who raced upcourt with Q Owens providing defensive pressure. Jones got off a 33-foot 3-point attempt before the final buzzer but the shot was close but off target and the Cougars (22-12) has survived.
What a way to get your 50th career win coach LaCross.
"We got an early Christmas present," a serious LaCross said after watching his Cougars stumble on chances earlier in the second half to put the game away at the free-throw line. "Thankfully, we got the call, we pulled together as a team and I'm proud of the way we found a way to get the win."
USF connected on 18-of-26 free-throw attempts in the second half, a .692 percentage. JC shot .588 on 10-for-17 from the line. For the game, the Cougars hit 23-of-34 free throws (.676) while JC hit 12-of-21 free throws (.571). USF came into the game No. 7 in NAIA DII free-throw shooting percentage at .741.
While Comer scored the most important points of the game for USF, Scott Kohne finished with his fourth double-double this season -- 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kohne scored 10 points in the second half helping the Cougars open up a 60-48 lead with 3:11 to play over JC, which was seeded No. 10. Owens scored 16 points, but struggled at the free-line hitting 6-of-12. It was, however, his 43rd double figure game tying him for No. 3 on the USF list with DeJovaun Sawyer-Davis. He is also No. 2 on the single season list with 34 this season.
JC had won 24 of its last 27 games, but the Cougars held leading scorer Travis Burley (15.5 ppg) to four points and Burley had four fouls. Mark Hoge led JC with 17 points, Jones finished with 16 and Davon Thomas scored 12.
USF led 29-20 at halftime.
The Cougars tangle with No. 7 Bellevue University (Neb.) on Friday at 1 p.m. Fort Wayne time.

Tue., 12:41pm: Data fuels saturation patrols in Youngstown
YOUNGSTOWN — Police Chief Rod Foley says crime data was the basis for a saturation patrol Friday evening and a driving under the influence checkpoint Saturday on the South Side.
Foley said this morning that he and his commanders decided to base both efforts over the weekend on Market Street because statistics show that is where the most calls and offenses occur.
For the weekend, there were 11 arrests and two guns were seized.
Foley said because warmer weather is approaching, he wants the department to be more proactive in stopping violence before it starts.
Among other agencies that helped the city over the weekend were the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Whenever Three Rivers coach Brandy Stalhood and her players would look up at the wall of championships, there was always a blank spot for volleyball.
That changed as of Saturday, when Three Rivers beat Vicksburg 25-15, 25-12, 17-25, 25-22 to claim the Class B district crown at Edwardsburg High School.
"We'd played and split with Vicksburg at the Wolverine Conference tournament last week, and we figured this was how the finals would play out," Stalhood said. "Our first matchup with Sturgis was pretty tough and we figured Vicksburg would beat Edwardsburg. We knew if the first round went our way we'd likely be here."
As for the district title, Stalhood is ecstatic for the girls.
"I think this is a great thing for the kids," Stalhood said. "Three Rivers has always been competitive with good teams, and I'm hoping this district title will spur along more development. We've been up and down all year and I think this is great that we did well."
Three Rivers (31-17-10 overall) takes on Berrien Springs at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the regional semifinals at Vicksburg. Berrien Springs beat Coloma in three sets in its district final.
"One time we played really well and competed well against Berrien Springs at a tournament, but we got stuck in the fifth game and dug ourselves a hole," Stalhood said. "That was the best we'd played against them. Otherwise, Berrien's beaten us every time this year. It's going to be a battle."
Teagan Reeves missed a triple-double with 21 digs, 17 kills and nine blocks. Marissa Wyngarden added 20 digs, five blocks and two aces, and Linsey Masnari had 20 digs, 17 assists and eight kills.
Kalie Cole recorded 22 assists.

Acting Commissioner
For Further Information Contact:
In observance of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on Sunday, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services awarded the African American Office of Gay Concerns in
Sunday marks the ninth annual observance of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which is designed to raise awareness of the disproportionate impact that HIV/AIDS has had in the African American community. It also serves as a reminder for those who may be at risk to get tested and to seek treatment if they test positive.
African Americans continue to bear the largest and most disproportionate burden of HIV/AIDS of all racial, ethnic or demographic groups. HIV/AIDS is the third leading cause of death for African American males and is the fifth leading cause for African American females.
"National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day reminds us to continue mobilizing communities through education, testing, involvement and treatment," said Laurence Ganges, Assistant Commissioner for the Department's Division of HIV/AIDS Services.
"Successful public health efforts have reduced the number of new infections, but despite the existence of strong proven prevention programs, individuals are still becoming infected with a preventable disease. This is particularly true in minority communities and that's why HIV testing is so important,''
Although African Americans make up 14 percent of the state's total population, they make up 56 percent of adults living with HIV/AIDS. African American children comprise 74 percent of pediatric HIV/AIDS cases. African American women account for 64 percent of those living with HIV/AIDS.
"Status is Everything," is an HIV testing and prevention campaign specifically targeted to African American gay men in the
The "Status is Everything," campaign features outdoor billboard advertising, bus and movie theater ads and interactive e-cards and social media integration on StatusIsEverything.org, the campaign's official website.
The campaign connects those living with HIV or newly testing positive for the virus, with the treatment and care services they need,"

5 plants that love acid soil
Sweet-talking is an anathema to some garden favorites: Plants such as foxglove, lewisia, azalea, heath and heather actually crave sour soil. What unites this diverse group of plants is that they all thrive in varying degrees of acidic soil between 4.5 and 6.5 pH.
Most soils in the Pacific Northwest range on the acidic side of neutral. Growing plants that thrive in the soil you already have is an easy way to keep plants looking healthy and help your garden succeed.
So the challenge is not in helping plants thrive at home, but rather in deciding which ones to grow.
Astilbes bring their own sense of elegance to the garden, with long-stemmed, airy plumes of color in spring and summer. Colors range from crisp white to pastel shades of pink and purple to radiant red. Most plants grow 18 to 36 inches tall, with dwarf varieties topping out at 6 to 8 inches tall.
Conditions they crave: Astilbes thrive in moist, humus-rich soil in dappled sunlight. Colors hold best on flowers grown in part shade.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist. Plants will tolerate sunny sites given ample moisture.
Soil pH: 5.5 to 6.8
Growing tip: Grow in shady borders, along shady paths or on the edge of a pond.
Bergenias have large, glossy green leaves, with foliage on some species tinted purple to burgundy. Graceful clusters of pink, red or white flowers emerge in spring at the top of long stalks rising 12 to 18 inches high.
Conditions they crave: Bergenias grow happily in humus-rich, moist soil. For lush foliage, grow in part shade. Though plants bloom well in full sun, leaves often burn. Also, flowers are more impressive on plants grown in rich soil.
Water: Water regularly and keep soil consistently moist, as dry soil can cause leaf edges to brown.
Soil pH: 5.5 to 6.5
Growing tip: Fertilize plants each spring and mulch between plants to keep soil moisture more even. Cut tattered-looking foliage back in spring to encourage new growth.
BLEEDING HEART Dicentra
Pendulous, heart-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink or rose appear in spring on horizontal to arching stems rising above graceful, fernlike foliage. Flowers are arranged along the stems like tiny dangling hearts. The overall feel is ethereal. Plants grow 1 to 4 feet tall.
Conditions they crave: These graceful woodland plants perform best in dappled shade and cool, moist soil that is rich and well-drained.
Water: Keep plants well-watered to maintain attractive foliage, especially in summer.
Soil pH: 5.0 to 6.5
Growing tip: Trim back plant after flowering when leaves decline. Fill in empty spaces with summer-blooming annuals or potted plants.
FOXGLOVE Digitalis
Stately biennial and perennial plants with upright spikes of tubular flowers that open progressively upward along the stem. Flowering period is from late spring into summer in shades of pink, lavender, purple, yellow or white. Blooms attract hummingbirds.
Conditions they crave: Foxgloves favor light shade, though Mediterranean species can take full sun. Grow in moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in spring when plants are flowering.
Soil pH: 5.5 to 6.5
Growing tip: Add compost to heavy clay to help lighten soil. Taller varieties may need to be staked.
Looking for a succession of year-round color with evergreen appeal? Grow heaths (Erica carnea) and heathers (Calluna vulgaris). These kissing cousins share similar growing conditions. Heaths are smaller; this spreading subshrub usually grows less than 12 inches tall and typically flowers in late winter through spring. Heathers grow as an upright shrub from 12 to 36 inches tall and bloom from midsummer through fall.
Conditions they crave: For best color, grow both in full sun. Heaths can be grown in dappled sunlight where summers are hot. Choose an open site with good drainage for best growth. Standing water may kill the plant.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist by watering consistently, as dry soil can also kill the plant.
Soil pH: 5.0 to 6.2
Growing tip: Heaths and heathers are light feeders. A light annual feeding in early spring with compost or acid plant food is usually sufficient.
More acid lovers
Bugleweed (Ajuga): Full sun to part shade; soil pH 4.5 to 6.5.
Azaleas, Rhododendrons: Filtered sunlight or light shade; soil pH 4.5 to 6.0.
Bog rosemary (Andromeda polifolia): Full sun or light shade with ample moisture; soil pH 4.0 to 5.0.
Camellia: (left, above) Filtered sun or light shade; soil pH 5.0 to 6.0.
Pieris: (right, above) Filtered sun or partial shade; soil pH 5.0 to 6.5.
Hydrangea: (left, above) Best in partial shade. For blue blooms, keep soil pH around 4.5 to 5.5.
Lewisia: (right, above) Full sun or light shade with little to moderate water; soil pH 5.5 to 6.5.
Japanese skimmia (Skimmia japonica): Partial shade; soil pH 4.5 to 6.5.
Goatsbeard (Aruncus):Full sun to partial shade; soil pH 6.0 to 6.5.
The lowdown on soil pH
SOIL pH (short for potential hydrogen) is a measurement of the level of active soil acidity or alkalinity. The pH ranges on a scale from 0 (extremely acid) to 14.0 (extremely alkaline), with 7.0 being neutral. Most plants thrive in neutral to slightly acidic soil, but acid-loving plants prefer a more acidic range of 4.5 to 6.5.
Knowing the pH of your soil is an important element to successful gardening. Check with your local garden center or extension office for a soil test kit or the location of the analytical laboratory nearest you.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury tells western Christians who feel persecuted to 'grow up'
The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, caused a bit of a stir yesterday after he was reported to say that hearing western Christians claim to be persecuted makes him "very uneasy" and suggested that these Christians "grow up."
Williams' general point was that being made fun of for, say, believing in creation in the United States is not remotely comparable to being murdered for following Jesus. As The Telegraph reported Williams saying:
But was his general premise correct?
Let's start with the War on Christmas. It never happened.
The ending of school prayer and limitations on teaching creation over evolution? Those are very real, but they only apply in the public school setting, as our Constitution long has required (even if courts did not recognize this until relatively recently in the nation's history). Even then state legislatures likely have some flexibility to teach both evolution and creation if the primary purpose of teaching both is not to promote religion.
And violence against believers? There is some in the United States, but in recent history the well-documented incidents haven't been against Christians. Probably the most notable of these involve assaults of Muslims after 9/11 and attacks on Jews and other religious minorities by skinheads.
However, the FBI statistics show that Christians are not immune from anti-religious crimes. For example, of the 1,480 victims of anti-religious hate crimes in 2011, roughly 9 percent were Catholic or Protestant. That's a lot fewer than for anti-Jewish crimes (63.2 percent) and anti-Muslim crimes (12.5 percent), but it's not negligible.
In other words, Rowan Williams is both right and wrong. Persecution of western Christians is nothing like it is in other parts of the world -- neither in pervasiveness nor consequences. But it also is not nonexistent; it can be much worse than just being made to feel an idiot. Perish the thought.

The potential for successful charter schools in New Jersey is substantial. So, however, is the potential for failure.
There is more than enough evidence of that as 40 charter schools have risen and fallen in the years since establishment of the alternative to public schools.
As The Times' Carmen Cusido reported in a series last week, the reasons for the failures vary from mismanagement to financial disarray to amateur educators on the school's regulatory boards.
When the charter schools founder, it is not only upsetting for the families and communities that support them. It creates havoc in the public school system, which must absorb the students displaced by the closings.
That situation occurred this school year in Trenton with the closing of Capital Preparatory Charter High School and Trenton Community Charter. City school district officials scrambled to accommodate the sudden influx of more than 500 children.
That's enormous for any district, let alone one with Trenton's limited resources.
Gov. Chris Christie is emphatically in favor of charter school expansion throughout the state, which has 73 charters in operation. And advocates champion the schools as innovative alternatives.
Some have waiting lists and are flourishing to the degree that they're criticized for taking the best students out of the public schools.
Some are the answer to a parent's prayer. They can open the doors to success for high-risk students in poor urban areas where test scores are far below state averages and the dropout rates are high.
Without adequate oversight, however, the charters can squander the taxpayers' money and the students' opportunities.
While the state engages in an extensive vetting process before granting a charter, comprehensive evaluations of the functioning schools occur only once every five years. Some problems are not apparent until the school is up and running.
One bill under consideration in the Legislature proposes shared oversight of the charters rather than leaving near full responsibility in the hands of the Department of Education. "Authorizers," which would include colleges and universities, would monitor charter schools on a more regular basis, allowing problems to be caught before they develop into full-blown disasters.
Appointing authorizers seems like a good way of monitoring the schools not only to detect problems, but also to note what works. With no single model for a charter school, the evolving concept could benefit from proven strategies for achieving success.
Relieving the Department of Education of some of the responsibility for charter school oversight would also allow the department to focus more fully on regulating educational programs and plans across the state.
It's something lawmakers should consider carefully before another charter school fails.
