1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 To make the crust, in a medium bowl, combine the baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter and milk. Stir until a dough forms, then turn the dough out onto a clean surface that has been dusted with some baking mix. Knead for 30 turns. Pat the dough into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9 inch round cake pan. In the same bowl, beat together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, eggs and cream cheese. Pour over the dough in the pan.
3 Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are golden and the filling is set. Allow the coffee cake to cool for 10 minutes, then spread the fruit preserves over the top.

If you have not read part I of my analysis, or would like to review it as a refresher, it can be viewed here.
How to Value Goldcorp
Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) is a senior mining company. Future production and operating expenses are fairly predictable; therefore the most appropriate way to value Goldcorp is by using a discounted cash flow analysis. The following analysis will value Goldcorp using a DCF, as well as the Graham formula, and a relative valuation analysis compared with other senior miners.
Q1 2012 Earnings
Goldcorp reported Q1 earnings that came in below analyst's expectations due to challenging ground conditions at Red Lake, while the footwall zone continued to be nuggetty. These issues are temporary, and do not change the company's long-term prospects. My 2012 earnings forecast are relatively conservative at $2.10 per share, which I expect the company will be able to achieve.
The Mines
Source: Goldcorp
With multiple mines at all stages of production, Goldcorp should be able to continue growing into the foreseeable future.
(click to enlarge)
The mines detailed above provide insight into estimated future production per mine. No single mine is projected to be more than 18% of Goldcorp's total production through 2016. These mines will provide Goldcorp with significant and diverse future gold production.
Peer Analysis
Source: Data from Yahoo Finance
Goldcorp has a better P/B ratio and profit margin than Barrick (NYSE:ABX), Newmont (NYSE:NEM), Yamana (NYSE:AUY), and Eldorado (NYSE:EGO). ROE is also strong at 8.2% relative to other senior miners. Although the P/E ratio is higher than most of their competitors, it is in-line with the industry, and only slightly higher than AUY and EGO. P/S is higher than most other major miners, but that is due in part to higher profit margins, and the large production growth forecasted through 2016. ROA is low, which indicates the company is not using its assets as effectively as it could.
Graham Valuation
The Graham valuation is a good estimate of intrinsic value for mature companies with stable growth. Goldcorp's intrinsic value of $55.19 is currently 59% below its current price. Investors looking to buy a strong senior miner should consider Goldcorp.
DCF with Terminal Value
A DCF with a terminal valuation calculation is the most common DCF valuation, which assumes the company will continue to grow past 2016, although at a slower rate than their current growth rate. CAPEX is projected to be $2.6B per year through 2016. After 2016 it is assumed that Goldcorp will grow operating cash flow at a conservative 4% per year, and return on capital will decline to 5%; resulting in a required reinvestment rate of 80% of operating cash flow to maintain its growth. The resulting FCF in 2017 is $807.2mm. Assuming a cost of capital of 5.6% and a growth rate of 4%, results in a terminal value of $50.3B; which has a present value of $38.3B. Adjusting for excess cash, Goldcorp's investment in securities, and investment in associates, results in an equity value of $43.9B, or $54.21 per share.
- Since Goldcorp does not hedge, its revenue is exposed to the volatile price swings of silver and gold.
- Extended delays at one or more of the major projects would hurt future earnings.
- An inability to obtain new productive mines would significantly hurt the company's future prospects.
- Natural disasters or poor weather conditions at one or more of Goldcorp's major mines could damage or prevent continued operations for an extended period of time.
- Potential government or environmental regulation could impair profitability.
- Reserves and future production are estimates and subject to change.
- Goldcorp is spending a large percentage of its operating cash flow on CAPEX to continue expanding its reserves and annual gold production. If these funds are not invested in productive mines with strong return profiles the company could suffer significantly.
- If India takes strong action to limit gold imports, the price of gold could suffer a significant near-term setback.
Investment Thesis
- Goldcorp's market price is not appropriately valuing its current and long-term growth prospects. The current stock price as of May 18th, 2012 is $34.79. However, using a conservative estimate for sustainable growth after 2016 of 4% per year and a reduced stable period return on capital of 5%, values the company at $54.21 per share (56% higher than its May 18th closing price).
- Having two separate valuations methodologies that estimate the company's intrinsic value within 2% of each other increases the strength of the valuation estimate, and the probability of having an appropriate fair value estimate.
- Analysts are currently forecasting strong sales and earnings growth.
- Gold production over the next 5 years are expected to be relatively stable, with 69% of production through 2016 coming from mines that were already in production in 2011.
- Being well capitalized with little debt, having $1.5B in cash, and a $2.0B undrawn revolver allows Goldcorp to continue gold production growth without the need for new financing. A strong balance sheet also reduces the possibility of future share dilution and helps GG weather any downturn in the credit markets.
- Being unhedged allows GG to take advantage of the historical trend in precious metal price appreciation, as real interest rates continue to be negative for the foreseeable future, and the Fed planning to keep interest rates at historic lows until at least late 2014.
- Strong demand from China and India create a bullish case for precious metals.
- Goldcorp's dividend shows a commitment to rewarding shareholders and gives investors the opportunity to benefit from price appreciation of the stock, as well as future dividend increases.
- Goldcorp's production costs per ounce are significantly less compared with a typical senior mining company.
- Having its projects in politically stable countries significantly reduces the political risk that many other miners face in more unstable geographic locations.
- Gold miners are cheap relative to the price of gold, as currently indicated by the Gold/XAU ratio at 10.45:1.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Housekeeper in Saint Petersburg
I strive to keep things as simple as possible. With no contracts, or required monthly scheduling, you are free to call me for help as often or seldom as you need. All i ask is that you generally give me a week to accomodate your request, however i will always try to help if an immediate clean is needed. I provide all supplies and love pets of all kinds, just let me know to expect them. I do not believe in hourly rates. I find it's most simple to give a Flat Rate in my inital quotes and that is generally guaranteed and never changes. This way you always know how much a cleaning will cost you anytime you call me to schedule. I also provide "add on" services when you need a little extra done from time to time. An alternate option is my Custom Clean option.

I can also give a list of what items I can take care of within the requested budget. There is no reason anyone should pay for what they do not need!

Adam Levine Is a Creepy Stalker in Maroon 5's 'Animals' Music Video
A stalker, a meat locker and lots and lots of blood. Is it the newest gore flick heading to your theater? No, it's the music video for Maroon 5's latest single, 'Animals.'
A stalker, a meat locker and lots and lots of blood. Is it the newest gore flick heading to your theater? No, it's the music video for Maroon 5's latest single, 'Animals.'
Adam Levine was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy had him play a game of impressions.
Sorry, ladies: Adam Levine is now a married man! The Maroon 5 frontman married Behati Brinsloo Saturday night (July 19) at a private ceremony at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Maroon 5's Adam Levine took to Twitter to unveil his new platinum blonde hairstyle!
ADAM LEVINE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE: The Internet rumor was true -- People magazine has indeed named ADAM LEVINE the "Sexiest Man Alive."
Not every artist is a fan of Lady Gaga. One in particular who doesn't appreciate Mother Monster? Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
Hawt! The tattoos! The washboard abs! The tight undies. Adam Levine's model fiancé Behati Prinsloo posted a photo of her future hubby in his tighty, uh, blueys on her Instagram.
Time is running out!
Congrats to Adam Levine!
The Maroon 5 singer, who goes through supermodels like water, is now engaged to on-again off-again -- currently very much on-again -- love Behati Prinsloo.
Get ready to have your mind blown away!
I've been lucky enough to work with KISS for almost 12 years now. Throughout my time here, I've met countless wonderful listeners. I don't remember meeting a listener cuter than 2-year-old Jayden though.
In somewhat keeping with the theme of my last post, there's been some weird things falling from the sky or just missing earth the past few days. I decided to look up some ways to keep safe and I came across this video with some great advice. I had a pretty good laugh with it, hope you do too!!

Arnaud is quite an eye catcher with his dark hair and bedroom eyes, pouty lips (wouldn't you love to see them wrapped around a cock?) and boyish good looks. He's a bit of an exhibitionist, and so he was a natural to do a home porn video for You Love Jack. This gorgeous French Canadian guy was hard before his pants were down, and loved showing off his engorged cock, stroking it in front of the camera before throwing his legs up and then sliding two fingers into his tight pink asshole. This seems to have really turned Arnaud's crank as right afterwards he grabs his rod and pumps it till he shoots a powerful cumload!

Ben Franklin (also known as Dr. Benjamin Franklin) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. He was a noted polymath, an expert in various fields, inventor, and diplomat.
In 1749, Ben Franklin was working on an experiment to confirm the correlation between electricity and lightning during a storm with a kite. However, a demon stole a pair of shears from him. Franklin substituted the shears with a key and continued on with his experiment.

The irresponsible use of social media frequently lands people in unfortunate predicaments. For instance, a young woman publicly lost her job before even starting – thanks to her Twitter activities – and a guy even went to jail for posting a derogatory status about his employer on Facebook.
You might be tempted to disregard these cases as exceptions to the rule, of people getting snared by venting their frustration at the wrong time and place. But it's more common than you'd think.
Just check out these people already in deep trouble with the law, who didn't bother to think twice before giving themselves away to the police with their nonsensical use of social media.
There is no limit to human idiocy and these people are a testament to that.
Christopher Wallace
Wanted for stealing a stove from a camp in Pierce Pond Township, Maine, Christopher Wallace recently posted on Snapchat that he was back in his home in Fairfield. After the information was relayed to the police, authorities showed up at the fugitive's house.
However, once they got there, they couldn't finding Wallace in his home until the dumb criminal posted on Snapchat – again – that the police were in the house looking for him and he was hiding in a cabinet. Needless to say, the police searched the cabinets and arrested him.
Andrew Marcum
The Butler County Sheriff's Office in Ohio posted a "wanted ad" for Adrew Marcum on their Facebook page. The fugitive was wanted for assault, abduction, domestic violence and burglary charges.
Conveniently, the criminal himself responded to the ad the very same day. He commented on the status, taunting the police – as if his profile picture wasn't enough of a giveaway.
Maxwell Morton
Sixteen-year-old Maxwell Morton allegedly shot his classmate, Ryan Mangan, in Pennsylvania and then took a selfie with his corpse. Then to take the matters a step further, he sent the photo to a classmate via Snapchat. That friend took a screenshot of the murder selfie, and a day later, his mom showed the picture to the cops.
Morton was arrested and police recovered a 9mm handgun from his possession.
Wanda Lee Ann Podgurski
The over-confident criminal Wanda Podgurski was on the run from law enforcement agencies after being convicted of disability and insurance fraud. However, she made the stupid mistake of taunting the police by tweeting "Catch me if you can" from her Twitter account.
The 60-year-old had also tweeted: "Help find me before I con anyone else."
Logan James
Logan Rhys James from south Wales was on the run from police, a week after being released early from his prison sentence for a street knife attack. The police posted the 19-year-old's mug shot on Facebook, asking about the criminal's whereabouts.
In an utter act of obnoxiousness, James himself commented on the ad, saying: "Haha catch me if you can wont [sic] see me slipping."
He was arrested the next day.

They come from all over the District. They are soon-to-be parents and grandparents and everything in between. They're editors and economists, homemakers and military men and women. They're recent transplants to DC, or their families go back generations. They represent a diversity of backgrounds, races, and perspectives. They are, however, united by a few things: a fierce love for their children, a deep investment in their neighborhood and their city, and an abiding commitment to making DC Public Schools the best it can be. And now, they are ready to roll up their sleeves and work with the Chancellor on program and policy decisions that will affect all children in DCPS. Get to know them below.
Kevin Sampson, Ward 1
School: Eaton ES
Why DCPS? I'm committed to public education because I'm a product of a public school. It's also an exciting time to be here. With charters and traditional schools, I feel like to some extent the market-based pressures are working.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I'm a former teacher and now an engineer. I'd love to see an expansion of STEM. I know education is ground zero for creating futures. I've been very active in schools and this was a logical next step.
Hot Topic at School: Middle schools. The biggest challenge is to continue on from some of the great work in elementary schools. When you've invested in a house and neighborhood you'd like to see continuity in schools.
Elizabeth Osborne, Ward 1
School: Tubman ES
Why DCPS? We toured the school, we loved the principal, and we liked the idea of going to a neighborhood school. The first thing every parent should do is investigate the school in their neighborhood instead of operate on rumors. When you get there, and you see the teachers in action, you learn what you need to know. I see a lot of parents investigate charter schools without going to their public school, and I don't understand that. I happen to have a gem of a school in my neighborhood, even if a lot of people in my neighborhood haven't noticed it yet.
Why I joined the Parent Cabinet: My kids are in a school that has many things going for it, but has many challenges as well, particularly facility challenges and overcrowding challenges. I want to advocate for my school and my kids. I want to get a better insight on how funding decisions are made within DCPS, whether or not DCPS leadership sees the same challenges I do. I want to see what they see, and I want them to see what I see, so they have the chance to address those concerns as well.
Hot Topic at School: Facilities. Tubman is a school that has reached an age where it needs a lot of attention. It could become a problem in educating its students. The security issue is a big one, too, especially with people using the playground after school hours.
Alejandra Vallejo, Ward 1
School: Bancroft ES
Why DCPS? I think one of the best things about Bancroft is diversity in every sense of the word. Diversity was essential for the education of our daughter because our family is diverse. I wanted to show my daughter that this is the US, and this is the normal thing in life. When you learn it when you're young, it's easier to develop that sense of inclusion. I think that DCPS has been making a great effort to be very inclusive, and we wanted to support the effort. And on top of it all, we have a bilingual school.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I think it will be good to know how to help DCPS in a more active way. I find this as a window of opportunity not just with the school, but with the system as a whole. I'm hoping to learn more about other schools and the vision for schools at the macro level.
Hot Topic at School: Bilingual education and being a bridge for the Hispanic community. One issue is how to improve bilingual education and how to improve the tests. A lot of the tests are not directed to measure bilingualism. We need other measures to prove that bilingual education is important.
Shanti Sale, Ward 2
School: Ross ES
Why DCPS? As a DC government employee, I know the planning and hard work that goes into DCPS. Ross is providing a great early childhood education for my son.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: My goal is to help everyone be informed about DCPS - to build a network of parents to get feedback from and to share it with the cabinet. I would love to help our children across all wards to have the same access to extra curricular activities and field trips.
Hot Topic at School: PARCC. We've had a few coffee meetings with staff at Ross and a lot of people want to better understand PARCC and the Common Core.
Charles DeSantis, Ward 2
School: Hyde Addison ES, Mann ES
Why DCPS? I was raised in a public school environment, and I believe in public schools. Public schools can provide great quality education to students despite certain stereotypes. More than anything, public schools provide a great framework for investment in communities.
Why I joined the Parent Cabinet: The importance of joining this Cabinet for me is that I have four kids. Specifically, I have one child who has special needs. Though I know DCPS is doing its best to implement new special needs programs, I feel I need to represent that particular community on a parent-level to give voice to a community that needs more representation.
Hot Topic at School: I feel we need to make sure the infrastructure is there to support students of all needs. For example, as it relates to my special needs child, resources being readily available are extremely important. Another concern for me revolves around the issue of bussing. There seems to be a lack of dependability and consistency in that arena. Though we are fortunate to have a car, not everyone has this luxury. How do we make public transportation more reliable for all parents and students?
Adria Wright, Ward 2
School: School Without Walls @ Francis Stevens
Why DCPS? Simply put, I am a DC resident. Though I didn't go to DCPS as a child, I heard the public schools were amazing when I went to an Ed Fest. Combined with my pride of being a DC resident and the great programs I saw at Ed Fest, I felt DCPS was the place to be for both my children and myself.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: As the secretary at the Home and School Association board, I am very active at my school. Due to my role there, I have seen areas where there could be improvement. I wanted to join this Cabinet because I wanted to help our school continue to improve while concurrently helping the surrounding community progress as well.
Hot Topic at School: Great education and equity for all students is my major priority. How do we fill the academic achievement gap? How do we equip teachers to teach effectively regardless of a person's makeup and background? These are the questions I wish to tackle in the Parent Cabinet.
E. Andre Carter, Ward 3
School: Stoddert ES
Why DCPS? We were in private school before. Then I realized "fit" was important and we wanted to strike a balance of good education with an environment that wasn't so pressurized. We did the lottery and landed in a place that was a good fit for us. We are happily surprised with what's happening at Stoddert.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I am involved in a lot of things, such as coaching sports, and at the end of the day when you find a fit, you end up being involved.
Hot Topic at School: I sense something special is building. At the same time we need to adapt and change. For example, our 4th grade class was special, but we haven't done a good enough job enticing them with middle school options. I'd love to see more continuity, and get the message out that there's real and substantial education that can be had beyond elementary school.
Sweta Shah, Ward 3
School: Oyster Adams Bilingual EC
Why DCPS? I'm a product of public schools and I firmly believe in public education. DCPS is very unique because it's incredibly diverse. I'm really impressed with Chancellor's vision for ensuring every single child is successful through DCPS. And I believe DCPS has a rare opportunity to become a leader nationally. That really excites me a lot. From bilingual programs to STEM to dual enrollment, DCPS is on the rise and I want to be a part of that.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I'm part of the PTA at my school and I've always been very active. My child is in a bilingual school, so I've seen the impact of bilingual programs and demand is increasing, so I hope we can have more offerings for all children. I also work in international education and development so I hope to bring those practical perspectives that may help DCPS.
Hot Topic at School: Teacher retention, especially among native language speakers. The bilingual aspect of school relies on native Spanish speakers—but sometimes their visas run out and they have to leave. This creates a big gap in learning at school. We know that teachers are key to success. So when we find good teachers we must keep them.
Corinne McIntosh-Douglas, Ward 3
School: School Without Walls
Why DCPS? The diversity in the student body. My kids have attended since pre-K and the mix of neighborhood kids, to kids from across the city, to students who have immigrated or who are attached to embassies—the mix is fantastic.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I have twins who are thriving successfully in DCPS. Since they've been in school, I've seen issues where I could contribute a voice. I thought, "I can help make this stronger—wouldn't that be great?"
Hot Topic at School: The ongoing discussion about Walls students on the Francis-Stevens campus. I don't think there's been a resolution.
Michael Koppenheffer, Ward 4
School: Lafayette ES, Deal MS
Why DCPS? I've seen how much progress schools have made to bringing excellent education to all students and the impact the new initiatives have had on kids.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I've seen how important it is for parents, administration, teachers, and community to collaborate. I've been an active volunteer, so I've seen some of the challenges. I feel like I can help.
Robin Appleberry, Ward 4
School: Powell ES
Why DCPS? I feel strongly that public schools are an important way to make DC great and to fulfill our commitment to respecting and empowering every child. I feel that DC can make a huge difference in the world, and we wanted to be a part of that. We were drawn to Powell because of its dual language program and because it is a really diverse school. I like that not everyone looks like my kids, and they learn from that. I learned that the teachers are committed to education and growing up whole children, not just focusing on academics. We were also really happy to be part of our neighborhood school system.
Why I joined the Parent Cabinet: I feel like it's really important for parents to show up and support the school system in raising up every kid. I get the sense that some parents feel like their job is to maximize their child's opportunity. I don't feel like that. I feel like if we can educate all of our children together, then that is their best opportunity. Even if the kids have to learn how to accommodate each other, then that will help them. If DCPS is going to succeed in this, then I feel like they need parents like us to show up.
Hot Topic at School: One big one is recess. Powell is a Title I school, and the instructional requirements mean that they don't get much time at all for active, unstructured play. Parents are concerned about that. On a higher level, there is concern or talk about change. Our school has grown a lot in the last five years. Everyone is trying to figure out how we can all be together. Also, will people stick with the school through the older grades? Our lower grades are full, but it's always a question of if that trend will be the same with the older kids.
Dr. Cristóbal Rodríguez, Ward 5
School: Bruce-Monroe ES
Why DCPS? What doesn't excite me? I just moved to DC from the Southwest. As an academic, DC presents a wonderful opportunity to connect with scholars and practitioners and community as we seek to improve educational opportunity for all children.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: It gives an opportunity to collaborate with the district in a more strategic way. I'm thrilled to be able to have a true dialogue.
Hot Topic at School: Cultural-linguistic development of children from a diverse perspective. We're at a dual language school, so success in that program is critical to that community.
Helene Klusmann, Ward 5
School: McKinley Tech EC
Why DCPS? Diversity. The opportunities. There is so much to do here for a teacher, parent, or student.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I'm a mom of three and a grandma of three. From the first child on, the gift of being a parent meant I was going to wear many hats and I was ready for it. I saw how great my parents did and it helped me, as a single mom, to raise my first child and I want to share what I've learned. I've always about being involved in the PTA. I just want to share that excitement and I hope to give some ideas about how to engage parents.
Hot Topic at School: Family engagement. How to build a partnership with a teacher.
Kristine Erickson, Ward 5
School: John Burroughs ES
Why DCPS? It was a tough choice because there are so many good schools in the area. We decided to stay with DCPS though because it is already established and has a long history. The real charm of DCPS is its community and educators. Their sense of connectivity with the neighborhood immediately makes them a dedicated group of educators for our students. Once we decided to get to know the teachers and the community more, we instantly became invested.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: By joining the Parent Cabinet, I hopefully can make a difference by serving my community through representation and contributing in any way I can.
Hot Topic at School: In general, we need to try and obtain resources. Resources of different varieties are needed, including financial, educational, and programming, among others. For example, language programs are of increasing needed in DC Public Schools. Many parents want their students to be diverse with respect to language in order to be both more competitive and communicative with people spanning different cultures.
Matthew O'Hara, Ward 6
School: Maury ES
Why DCPS? It's exciting that it's changing-- academically and demographically.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: If we want to see change, it's important to do our part. I have little kids so I want to be thinking ahead of upper elementary, middle school and high school. As far as perspective goes, we are a two-dad family with adopted children; we're also licensed foster parents. I'm a sign language interpreter so I encounter issues of being different, accessibility, and oppression-- human rights are important to me. I'm also mediator and I believe in fairness and dialogue. These are the kinds of things that I hope to bring to Parent Cabinet.
Hot Topic at School: Scores and academics. Making sure there's enough resources.
Laurence Gill, Ward 6
School: J.O. Wilson ES
Why DCPS? I have two kids and every day I see excellent progression in them. Their school is welcoming to my family and me.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I've been in our neighborhood for 12 years. This is a great opportunity to be able to voice the good things happening at our school to district.
Hot Topic at School: Equity. Advancement. Asking the question, "Are students are getting the most challenges possible without leaving other kids behind?"
Nazanin Ash, Ward 6
School: Brent ES
Why DCPS? It has been and continues to be a moment of transformation and I feel really lucky to go to a high-quality neighborhood school. Brent has an entire community built around it and it's a privilege, but it shouldn't be. DCPS has been making tremendous strides in making this happen, and being open to the contributions of parents.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: It's really clear there is going to be a tremendous opportunity to learn from (parents') shared experiences and challenges across our different school experiences, and I am really excited about that. I'm also very excited to learn from the experiences of other schools.
Hot Topic at School: Brent is a great school and has made great strides. Our community has two big challenges: One, we have very diverse learning needs, with a significant proportion of struggling students and students ready for a different level of challenge. Fulfilling the potential of all of these students with limited resources is tough. Second, the middle school question is a huge issue for us--two-thirds of our 4th graders don't return for 5th grade, because they leave for charter middle schools. Keeping our community together post-Brent, and building on the investments made there, is difficult.
Camille Fair-Bumbray, Ward 7
School: Duke Ellington School of the Arts
Why DCPS? I'm very excited about the new initiative, Empowering Males of Color. I have been working with students of color for many years and I am glad that they are finally getting the attention they deserve.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I love being a parent and I have a lot of experience in education personally and professionally. I believe in power of many people working together and I always learn a lot when I work with other parents. I also am very attracted to the Chancellor's idea of trying to make schools equitable across the city.
Hot Topic at School: Resources. Human resources. Physical resources. Temporary space is hard.
Shameka Stewart, Ward 7
School: Kelly Miller MS
Why DCPS? Opportunity. There's a lot of change taking place. My daughter is in middle school and to see a school go from little involvement to high involvement to funding teacher grants—I know change is happening and it's possible.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I want to be a voice always looking to be part of solution. I have a background in working with kids, preschool, mentoring, tutoring, being the PTA president. I've always been involved with the community.
Hot Topic at School: Academic rigor. I was especially happy to get into the academy at Kelly Miller. Some parents look for middle schools outside of DCPS, because they don't think they're rigorous or safe enough.
Dionne Moore, Ward 7
School: Hardy MS
Why DCPS? Apart from being a product of DCPS, I am also a big advocate for public education. Interestingly enough, a lot of the schools I chose were from recommendations of other parents who highly praised DC Public School initiatives. I really do feel as though DCPS is turning around things educationally, and I am more than happy to be involved in that movement.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: The opportunity to learn more about the public school system I was born and raised in was an opportunity I couldn't miss.
Hot Topic at School: The absence of quality schools in my ward and the limited choices for high school all strike me as topics to stop and think about. What can we do as both parents and a community to build up quality schools?
Davena Archie, Ward 8
School: Ballou HS
Why DCPS? The changes that they're making for achievement for all their students—such as increasing test scores.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I bring excitement, energy and passion for the idea that all students are treated equally. I want to help them go in the right direction in life.
Hot Topic at School: Funding. New teachers and new maintenance staff for our new school.
Ameen Beale, Ward 8
School: Turner ES
Why DCPS? I am a veteran. My wife and I are DCPS graduates. We believe in the public school system and all of the opportunities that exist for our children. DCPS has provided a diverse learning environment and innovative teaching techniques for urban youth, which I think are particularly important.
Why I joined the Parent Cabinet: Because I have a vested interest in DCPS and its even brighter future. I want to strengthen our neighborhood and our partnerships between our students, families, and DCPS administration. I'm hoping to strengthen our community by being on the Cabinet. I would like to advocate for the parents who don't know how to advocate for themselves.
Hot Topic at School: We have a lot of motivated kids in Ward 8 schools, but people in Ward 8 feel left out. In this ever-changing city, our ward would like to feel included in the school system. That means equal funding and equal opportunity as the rest of the city. Safety is another hot topic. The primary concern is to minimize suspensions, disruptions, and conflict-resolution issues. I want to make the neighborhood option an attractive option.
Tara Brown, Ward 8
School: Patterson ES, Leckie ES
Why DCPS? I know there are charter school options, but I feel like public schools are important because it is a real life representation of where we live within the community. I myself got a public school education. I want my daughter and nephew to relate to the people they are going to school with.
Why I Joined the Parent Cabinet: I saw that everyone cared in the schools I was part of, everyone was doing the best they could. However, there were other things that were getting in the way that proved as impediments. I wanted to find a way I could contribute to the schools I was involved in. By joining the Cabinet, I could, in a small way, find some ways to remove some of those impediments.
Hot Topic at School: The disparity of schools as it relates to quality education is the biggest concern I have right now. For example, my children are both in Patterson and Leckie, yet Leckie is performing better than Patterson. Why? Bullying is also a major concern for me. How do we detect and prevent bullying? As big an issue as it is, so many parents don't know their children are going through it. Another hot topic is how do we connect parents with the people in DCPS? How do we, as parents, get involved in the big school conversation?

Leadership Class 39
Class 39 Recently Completed the Working with the Media Seminar
In December, member of Class 39 completed their Working with the Media seminar
Key areas explored during the seminar included:
Meeting the media: Participants engaged in a panel discussion with Spokesman Review City Editor, John Stucky; KXLY Radio Reporter, Kristi Gorenson and KHQ TV Anchor, Stephanie Vigil. Panelists emphasized the elements needed to make a successful story in their form of media. The class also met with the Spokesman Review Editor, Ron Curley, to understand how stories are selected for the newspaper.
Articulating your message: Class members learned the importance of having an 'elevator pitch' to intrigue reporters and members of the public, and the value of knowing and telling your story to engage an audience.
Speaking to the media: Class 39 practiced working with the media in mock TV interviews conducted by communications professionals. Interviews were filmed and critiqued.
Highlights included:
Gonzaga Professor Dr. Joe Albert's presentation, "What's Your Story? The Use of Narrative in Effective Leadership". Dr. Albert challenged participants to make stories real by using their own unique stories to make a connection with their audience. The theme "Telling Your Story" was carried throughout the seminar.
Northwest Farm Credit Services Marketing and Public Affairs Vice President, Linda Hendrickson, and Marketing Consultant, Jennifer Mengarelli led the class through a powerful "Crisis Management Exercise" that was based on a true incident. Participants learned how to prepare and react to a crisis with a list of best practices.
Thursday evening featured a Leadership Networking Reception at Washington State University College of Pharmacy. Featured speaker, Chancellor Lisa Brown, provided an overview of the new Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and a presentation titled, "Improving the Life of Washingtonians".
What Leaders Learned from this Seminar:
What Class 39 Leaders Gained From the Seminar
- Dr. Joe Albert was fantastic. I really enjoyed hearing his story and thinking about my own story. I was inspired to take some time to think about my timeline and find the turning points that have occurred in my life that have brought me to where I am and how they define me as a person.
- I think the predominant theme of 'telling your story' was fantastic. Even if I'm just telling the person next to me on the plane my ag story, I'm contributing to positivity for our industry.
- I have a lot more respect for the power of media and what is involved in obtaining a story. It showed me how media is curious for more stories and if we don't tell the stories for ag and forestry then others will tell it for us.
- I gained a much deeper appreciation for how the news gets made. It was very helpful to learn about the motivations and drivers for the news professionals we had the opportunity to meet. Understanding what is truly newsworthy and the rationale for what does or does not make it to press was immensely valuable.
- As uncomfortable as it is I always enjoy being removed from my comfort zone and challenged. The TV interview with critiques were very useful. To be put in a situation where you have to think on your feet and respond appropriately was a memorable experience.

Leadership Class 38
Class 38 Recently Completed the Transportation Seminar in Seattle
Washington's transportation system is analogous to the human circulatory system: it's absolutely critical and when one part isn't functioning optimally the rest of the system suffers. Citizens rely on the transportation system for mobility and quality of life. The state's key economic sectors – agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and technology – rely on an efficient and properly maintained system to access customers, suppliers and employees.
During the Transportation Seminar, Class 38 explored the reality that Western Washington traffic jams negatively impact Eastern Washington farms, and gained perspective on the importance of Seattle's port and related infrastructure to the broader economy.
After the seminar one participant reflected, "This seminar was an incredible, eye-opening look at logistics and the importance of Seattle-area transportation issues. I did not realize the vitality and vulnerability of our transportation system. Every businessperson in Washington should attend this seminar!"
Another said, "I have a greater appreciation for how interconnected our state is, and will definitely use my new insights to look deeper into how we on the Eastside are connected to Seattle."

Class 40 - Now Recruiting
AgForestry Cultivates Leaders
Come experience Washington's premier leadership education and development program that cultivates effective,
informed leaders in agriculture, forestry, fishing, aquaculture, related businesses and industries.
AgForestry is recognized as the premier leadership development program in Washington state that cultivates effective, informed leaders in agriculture, forestry, fishing and related natural resource industries. The program offers hands-on learning experiences to teach the skills needed to be a leader and voice for agricultural commodities, drive natural resource industry growth, and economic vitality. Over eighteen months, 12 leadership seminars are presented throughout Washington on topics including: Communication, Group Dynamics & Public Speaking, Working with Media, Social Services, State Government, Forestry, Agriculture, the Columbia River System, Crime & Corrections, and Transportation. The program also includes one week in Washington DC learning about National Government and two weeks of International Study on Trade, Culture and Government
The program
Over the course of 18 months, AgForestry presents 12 leadership development seminars across the state at public and private institutions of higher education and leading businesses on various topics including government, economics, international trade, communication, water issues, media relations, the criminal justice system, and the environment. Additionally, the program includes a seven-day seminar in Washington, D.C., and a two-week seminar in a selected foreign country. For each leadership class, the AgForestry Leadership Program awards 24 fellowship seats from a group of state-wide applicants that encompass a range of professions and industries. These include those directly involved with agriculture, forestry, and fishing (producers, processors, shippers, marketing and sales) as well as related fields such as education, law, finance, government, human resources and labor, media, and public relations. The selection process is highly competitive.
Leadership is best developed with other leaders
The AgForestry Leadership Program brings together a variety of top-quality leaders from all areas of the natural resources community. This reinforces that we are all connected through government policy, industry practices, and community relationships. What happens on the west side of the state can have a direct impact on Eastern Washington and vice versa; what occurs in Seattle or Olympia can have an impact in Colville or Kennewick. The AgForestry Leadership Program prepares its participants and members to apply this knowledge.
The AgForestry network includes over 1,000 program alumni and numerous industry partners. The network is valuable; for example, if someone is faced with a question involving regulations or new legislation for either the natural resource industry as a whole, or a specific commodity, the AgForestry network allows you to connect with and learn from others who may be in your specific area or industry. The network also facilitates relationship building with people you may not otherwise have contact with, such as environmental communities, regulators and legislators - locally, statewide, nationally and globally.
AgForestry graduates are leaders who:
- Have acquired the skills needed to effectively communicate in their organizations and communities.
- Have broadened their knowledge on issues that are important to natural resource industries.
- Have obtained insight into how communities work together successfully. They have learned about issues which affect our state's budget. They realize that leadership is needed in every part of society. AgForestry graduates are providing leadership from the grassroots up, serving in local, state and federal government and NGO's. Others are taking the lead as creative entrepreneurs, creating new systems of marketing and producing, adding economic value and developing new markets domestically and overseas.
- Meet and build relationships with a wide range of individuals who are leaders from other communities, regulators, and commodity groups. They become articulate advocates for natural resources.
- Are action-oriented, critical thinkers and solution seekers who serve as a voice for natural resource industries.
- Employers and individuals who make the investment and support participation in the program can be assured that leadership class members are experiencing unique opportunities, and learning and acquiring leadership skills that will be incorporated into their jobs and communities.
They will:
- Be prepared to make key leadership decisions based on being able to see the "bigger picture" of issues and challenges.
- Become more action-oriented, critical thinkers and solution seekers.
- Play a key role in providing leadership from the grassroots level up, which is critical to communities across our state and nation.
- AgForestry graduates are serving as county commissioners, local, state and national legislators, school board members, and on numerous decision-making and economic development committees and commission

Dionysius II (Russian: Дионисий) (? – 1591) was Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia between 1581 and 1587.
Dionysius was elected metropolitan by Ivan the Terrible in 1581. He was notable for his eloquence and a number of works (all of them lost), for which he would be nicknamed Грамматик (The Grammarian). Being a close friend of the Shuisky family, Dionysius managed to reconcile them with the Godunovs in 1585. At the same time, he attempted to persuade tsar Feodor I to divorce Irina Godunova, for which he was deposed at the instigation of Boris Godunov in 1587 and exiled to the Khutyn Monastery outside Novgorod the Great. He died there in 1591.

Hi spiceheads, I have a little question that is kinda bugging me and want to get to the bottom of, I have an issue with a cust who when they open this xls spreadsheet in a zip file excel bombs out with send dont send to MS error.
So I procmon 'd it and trying to find cause (cust has work around extract zip first and it works but I wanna know they cause) but cannot put my finger on it, there is an entry in the log called access denied so I thought it must start somewhere here but the same happens on my machine and I can open via the zip no probs.
I have attached the log in a zip file and the file trying to open is summarypayroll.xls I would love someone to throw some ideas into the mix.
Thanks a lot.

What software are they using to open the zip file?
Aug 2, 2011 at 10:53 UTC
sorry they just open in windows then double click the file and it opens in excel.
Aug 3, 2011 at 10:09 UTC
Let me guess these are xlsX files not XLS files.
xlsx files basically are a bunch of XML files that have been zipped together.
I remember hitting this issue before and it was something about what the default program was to open them I think.
Aug 3, 2011 at 11:43 UTC
no sorry they are just plain old xls files, there is nothing wrong with the open procedure if you extract them first it is only if you try to open them directly from the zip file.
Also I am not sure if this has any bearing but the excel is old it's 97, all service packed up of course.
But it was working.

EIGHTY NINE, 89, soldiers denied reinstatement, despite a Presidential directive and a favourable Federal High Court decision, are yet to be re-absorbed and re-assigned by Nigerian Army several months after.
Nigerian Pilot Saturday recalls that they were dismissed in the heat of Boko Haram attack in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, under the Nigerian Army Operation Zaman Lafiya and have been denied reinstatement out of 4,000 other colleagues.
Following President Muhammadu Buhari's directive that all the soldiers dismissed in 2015 for losing ammunitions to the Boko Haram insurgents in Cameroun region, be reinstated, the Army had in a memo with reference number NA/COAS/GI/7/1 dated July 30, 2015 enacted a committee to screen and assess all cases of dismissal from Operation Zaman Lafiya.
The aggrieved soldiers stormed the premises of the secretariat of the Kaduna State Correspondent's chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ yesterday and spoke through one Warrant Officer, WO, Shehu Ibrahim, who said the Army Committee met in Jaji, Kaduna, scrutinised and declared them qualified to be reinstated, but to no avail. He added that it was based on this clean slate that the soldiers were further moved to Kontagora on September 24, 2015 where they underwent several weeks of retraining.
The embattled soldiers said the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 1 Division Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Major General Adeniyi Oyebade, at a point drafted an Army Officer to investigate their matter, which he did.
But when contacted, the Army Assistant Public Relations Officer, One Division, Colonel Usman Abdul, on the issue, he said it was only Army Headquarters, Abuja, that could speak on it.
WO Ibrahim said, "After the re -jabbing, a list of posting was published where the names of 98 of us out of 4000 soldiers were not included on the posting list, and we immediately brought the omission of our names to the notice of HQ NATRAC, and our names were compiled and forwarded to the Army Headquarters for inclusion in the posting.
"Hours later, the same day, 9 of the female soldiers on our same 98 men list of omission with serial number 83-91 were singled out, posted to units and given N10,000.00 each in our presence, whereas we the remaining 89 male soldiers were neglected in Kontagora.
"We further complained and the HQ NATRAC Commander, Brig Gen TJ Dauke, told us to write down our particulars and phone numbers and go back to our villages, that we were going to be called upon, with no stipulation to specific date.
"We as soldiers deem it judicious and feel it is the Army/Defence Headquarters authority that is the appropriate authorities to address our situation and proffer solutions to our predicament and not any other authority.
"As such, we, after several unfruitful appeals and efforts, had to unavoidably break communication chain as we are currently not being accounted for by any unit/formation, to appeal to the Army/Defence Headquarters authority to please act urgently and come to our rescue and afford us equal opportunity and rights to the Army job as our other colleagues are already exercising.
"We were not involved in any misconduct or offence, neither were we charged for any offence after our reinstatement and while in Kontagora, as our list were compiled by HQ NATRAC attests to thus fact. Thus we feel punished for no offence whatsoever.
"This case has lingered long beyond reasonable time, since October 2015, without solution no one seems to attend to us anymore.
"The right time, as it is said, for any event is always the suitable and appropriate time, therefore, we are acting promptly as this is the right time to act while the Operation Zaman Lafiya dismissed the soldiers' reinstatement and posting process still tarries."
EIGHTY NINE, 89, soldiers denied reinstatement, despite a Presidential directive and a favourable Federal High Court decision, are yet to be re-absorbed and re-assigned by Nigerian Army several months after.

I'm not sure people would feel a threat of being killed themselves, hence why we drive without seatbelts, drink and smoke ourselves to death.
