"Good for quick stays, not for extended."
The stay was fine. We were only there for 2 nights and it served its purpose. We had a few problems with the room overall, however. The shower drain needed some declogger chemicals badly as it turned into a foot bath when you used it. The fan was also broken in the bathroom so the steam and moisture kept building up on the walls as well as the mirror […] completely fogging up. The lighting without the drapes open was pretty bad. No one really leaves those open since your entire room is visible so you depend on the inside lamps. Yet even with all 4 of the lights on it still was pretty dark. Lastly, the towels were terrible although thats usually to be expected anyway. The place was definitely clean though which is the most important and the continental breakfast although nothing fancy was pretty nice. It was small bagels, muffins, bread, english muffins, cinnamon rolls (think little debbie) and coffee. We made good use of the free HBO as well. One warning though: This hotel IS pet friendly however if you missed the fine print, it will cost you an extra $10 per night to have a pet in the room with you which you have to pay when you check in. Don't think about hiding the pet either unless you want to pay a $50 fee and be kicked out. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Very poor"
First of all I made reservation for 2 days. 1 King size bed/ non smoking! Got there NO KING bed room available ! Only 2 cars in the lot! Not busy! Only room to offer had to be with 2 beds (full size). Then Manager wanted $40.00 dollars extra of the room I did not request ! $20 for the beds and $20 for the 25 pounds dog. Manager end up charging $20! […] When I booked I was told the $179. And change was all included !! We will not be back and will not recommend the motel to anyone !

"How can this motel carry a national name?"
The toilet was barely bolted to the floor. It rocked as if it were going to tip over. The folds of the shower curtain were stuck together. The room smelled heavily of floridly floral air freshener. The AC/Heat unit's selection switch was stripped. It took several tries each time we tried to change the setting. I was afraid to ask for a different room […] for fear it would be worse. The breakfast room sink had a filthy wet dishrag draped over it and no evidence of anything else with which to wipe the counter or tables. A full hour before the breakfast room was to close, there were no napkins, nor any milk for cereal. If this motel had had a name unaffiliated with a national chain, I would have known I was taking a chance on a bad experience. My disappointment is doubled because I feel I was mislead by a name I could trust. Why would I ever stay in any Days Inn, anywhere, ever again? LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

This was a bad experience. One of the worst I have ever had at a hotel. I got there and the room was very hot , the ac was not on. Then the power shut off for a while.

For $169 (including taxes) per night, I think this hotel was painful. Not kept up, nothing inviting, hairs on our sheets and skittles under the bed.

[…] No cover on socket where a/c unit was plugged in. A/c unit only worked in one, freezing cold speed. So it was either sweat or freeze.

Thread: Post videos of yourself playing
Noted and appreciated.
The hard-fought doubles match from the same day. I cut the 5 minute discussion before the match about whether the shuttle speed was right or not (we had played these shuttles the whole season without ever needing to slow them down, and both hit tested them and found them to be the perfect speed). Matters got a little tense in the 2nd game when we had several issues (opponent interfering with the shuttle, teams disagreeing about whether or not I touched the net).
All in all, probably (technically) one of the best matches we played, despite the rather short rallies.

good game j4ckie, really enjoy watching that thres drama and tension :-) ur opponent tends to play mind games as well.

after the discussion with you touching/not touching the net, i would have definetaly shouted out loud, including a stare-down to the opponents...
nice match, probably the best you've posted so far.
still, some more aggression at the net would be fine, but you know that already.
your partner's got a pretty nice understanding of the game and you 2 play well together, you have a nice gameplan!
j4ckie liked this post
Thanks! A rather tense match, that and their attitude made it hard to stay calm and focused. I like this doubles partnership, as we complement each other pretty well with him preferring smashing from the back and me going forward to the net more often. It's also rare that we criticize each other in a match, which is rather nice compared to some of the pairings we've come across this season. Only downside is that I want to play in a better team next season and he doesn't :/
PS: If you watch closely, you'll see I actually touched the net. I didn't feel a thing though, and my partner didn't notice either, and their reaction did not help matters. It's quite common to disagree on these things, but virtually any other team would've reacted in a manner that we could've accepted, and most would've agreed to repeat the point. I had not noticed the sarcastic clap and laughter of my opponents though - if I had, I never would've given them the point Makes me even happier we won this!Last edited by j4ckie; 03-06-2013 at 10:18 AM.
1st game from my men's singles semifinals match at a tournament that just happened. Slow start at an interesting facility with a very low roof and beams that run through it, playing with some surprisingly slow shuttles. All in all a fun time, this is probably only the 3rd or 4th time I have played a left hander in singles in a tournament over the past 5 years.
I'm on the close side in red. Just posting cause I feel like it.
Interesting game. Don't know if it's the perspective or if you've been working on it, but you seem to get lower in your base position. Quite the difference in skill levels though, apart from a few lapses in your concentration he didn't seem to be able to really score points. Nice that you shared this
Just out of interest, how much upper body work do you do? Because you really seem to have good balance and body tension all the time, and I'm just wondering if that's something that comes natural to you or if it's something you practiced. One of the things I have to work on most as I'm woefully slow to change direction when I expected a different shot and I guess part of it is due to a lack of tension.
things look so much less spectacular in a normal hall and from another perspective as compared to the videos you posted from bigger (international) tournaments.
not much to say about this game, your opponent is just too bad to really challenge you.
but thanks for posting, always nice to watch your vids!
Something that I have been trying to work on as well as changing up footwork recently too. Still lots that needs fixing, slowly but surely its starting to get better.
A fair amount of upper body actually, I don't do it to get huge but more to be very strong and able to help my center of gravity. It may be a combination of both things really. I do a lot of core but also upper and lower back, chest, shoulders, and arms all around trying to keep everything in tip top shape. Obviously there is a more badminton specific focus on some muscles more than others but yeah.
as for difference in a normal hall and the huge tournament halls that I usually play internationals in haha yeah it is a huge difference for sure. Well have some tournaments coming up soon so there should be some more videos to post in the near future.Last edited by nbonkowsky; 03-18-2013 at 12:00 AM.
Hi nbonkowsky
It has always been a desire of every serious recreational players out there to play badminton as best as possible and enjoy badminton to the fullest extent. Being a professional athlete yourself would distinguish you from recreational players like me for example, in terms of footwork, hitting technique, and training regime. I have watched the video you posted above, wonderful and i agree with j4ckie that you have a good body balance. If you do not mind, could you please share with us your badminton specific workout routine in the gym, like what movement do you do to keep your upper & lower body strong as well as how many repetitions & sets for each exercise, do you also increase weight gradually or not, do you also drink protein shake or just simply consuming lean protein. Things like that, i believe will be very helpful to recreational players out there to have what it takes to play badminton more enjoyable to watch.
Thanks a bunch.
Played a tournament over the weekend, didn't do so great but here are a couple of videos. The match we won was after I ran out of memory in the card and I was probably playing at least 50% better than in these. Think I pretty much know what I was guilty of, not having racquet up at net etc. Was playing with someone who I last played with over a year ago. I think I need a new regular playing partner
Hey guys, I don't know if you remember me but I posted a video of myself here like a year ago. Well I'm back and I feel like I learned much in terms of the actual game and have a better understanding of the scope of the very high level of play (I remember last year I made very naive comments and didn't really understand the difference between a much better player and myself)
Anywho, if you don't remember me all the same you can still comment on my video and it would be awesome to hear any criticism
Obviously you can only see me, you won't be able to judge the quality of my shots but I really just want to hear any constructive criticism on my form. It's in the same place as the video I posted last year with slippery floors but I've gotten used to them so hopefully you won't see me off balance too much
A little bit about me:
Been playing for 2 years, it'll be 3 years in June
A singles player, using the Lethal 70 and just started using Nanoray 800 (racket in the video)
P.S. I don't know what that laugh was at the beginning...I'm not even sure if I made that laugh! Also, my opponent was a lot older than me and a nice guy so I kind of showed him a lot of respect and raised my racket after every point in case you guys were wondering
It's a pity that floor is so slippery. You have made a big improvement. I do note that you strike the shuttle too low on overheads. Body is rather stiff instead of the relaxed style you see in advanced players. There are consistency issues.
Overall, I think it's a good level for playing for 2 yearsLast edited by Cheung; 03-21-2013 at 03:38 AM.
Yea sorry, I joined this other club with 12 matted courts but I never get a chance to record there
Yea I've heard that I contact the shuttle too low too...I'll work on it although since I'm a relatively strong boy compared to other badminton players around my area I can clear the shuttle very easily. Still I'll try to work on it Hmm how do I get rid of the stiffness then? Maybe it's just something that'll go away for the longer I play? I'll try to stay more relaxed though. I know you didn't mention this but I think my timing for my jump smash may be off...I think I jump too early and when I jump I should stay in the air for a bit, and then extend my legs out as I hit the bird.
But thanks a lot for remembering me! I agree I was happy when I saw this video myself haha. My body feels more stable when I move around the court and I get off balance less. Also I can do backhand clears now (I now in the video I was doing them from midcourt but I can do fullcourt ones too!).
Of course I'm still trying to win DC Open...this year I made it to the semi-finals of C and lost in 3 games. Although last year I lost in D without a single win so it was quite an improvement. Next year I'm going to play in A and although I'll probably get knocked down to B and lose somewhere there I feel like it's time for me to move up.
jump smash at 3:00 you jumped too late - by the time you are ready to hit the shuttle it is much to close to you.
JS at 6:50 - not best shot choice to do JS here since you're jumping backwards and only jumping from one foot. You're landing at same time as striking so you jumped a bit early.
As with your normal overheads, your JS swing is very 'side-army' - it is robbing you of a lot of height/angle, and you are having to swing your body to the side to accommodate your arm. This is why you are falling sideways when you land.Last edited by amleto; 03-21-2013 at 04:11 PM.
Ehh sorry guys I guess my overheads haven't improved much since my last video...I won't post another video until the issue is sorted out...
I wish I never saw that pronation video posted by Jimmy on youtube. It may be correct but it had me focus so much on rotation of the shoulder and forearm that I developed a bad 'side-army' swing...It would have been better if I saw the video "Fu-hai Feng teaches you how to smash" first
Oh well whats done is done. I've been trying to get rid of it but it's still there apparently. I'll try harder to fix my overheads. Yea my jumpsmash timing is bad but I'm working on that too...
Thanks a lot though, hopefully it won't take me another year for me to post a video that I'm happy with
Just started playing singles again after my achilles injury. Apart from terrible footwork and awful overhead technique, things are looking up!

LA spending $1 billion on jetpacks? Er, no
Fox News is sometimes criticized for floating wayward ideas.
This criticism is unfair and unbalanced. The station understands its viewers better than any other and offers them a fine and subtle mixture of both fear and reassurance.
However, perhaps Fox News' "Fox and Friends" allowed its enthusiasm this week to fly a little too high. For the station reported that the city of LA had invested $1 billion in a jetpack called the Martin. The suggestion was that LA's police, paramedics, and fire department were in grave need of such a flying gizmo. This is entirely understandable, given LA's quite hopeless traffic situation.
Though "Fox and Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade did offer words of caution: "You gotta make up some rules because you're going to have jetpacks flying into choppers," I have to report that the Fox report is rather untrue.
For LAPD chief Charlie Beck told the Los Angeles Times: "We certainly haven't bought any jetpacks. We haven't bought [squad] cars for two years."
While trying to muzzle my disappointment with the LAPD for such obvious technological myopia, I am grateful to Gawker for attempting to discover where Fox News might have done its flying sourcing.… Read more

12. Manila, Philippines
13. Tokyo, Japan
14. Seoul, South Korea
15. Guangzhou, China
At number 13, the real estate outlook for Tokyo signifies a ratings downgrade from "generally good" prospects to "fair" prospects. PwC says the ranking for Japan's capital is surprisingly "lackluster."
"Though investment potential appears good, investors have found deal flows restricted by the ongoing reluctance of local banks to clear bad debt from their balance sheets. A wide bid/ask spread has also limited transaction volumes."
The forecast's lowest-ranked city for real estate investment in 2013 is Osaka and ranks at the bottom in most survey categories, from investment and development prospects to office buy/sell recommendations.
One major reason is a glut of new office space that is still being completed. At the same time, PwC says "in small regional cities such as Osaka, investors simply do not know where the bottom is because of uncertain demand."
The silver lining is that Osaka's four-year oversupply of office space is coming to an end, PwC says.

I am owner of a small start up web+mobile development company. We are 2 full time programmers (including myself) and 4 part time programmers. I asked my team a question: Do you think it's important for a computer programmer to do something that makes the world a better place?
The results:
3 people said yes
2 people said they became a computer programmer just because they want to solve interesting problems, doesn't matter if it makes the world a better place
1 person said he became a computer programmer so he can make video games, which he claimed might actually have a negative impact on society due to prevalence of gaming addiction, but he wants to do it anyway.
I am one of the programmers who believes in using my skills to make the world a better place. I am trying to convince all my employees that they should do the same, that they should do more than just work for the pay cheque, or work for me or work for my company. But that through our company, we should support clients and people who are trying to make a positive difference in the world. For example, right now I'm finalizing a deal with the hospital to create a medical simulation software. Three of the people on my team (including myself) want to take part in this project because we believe it will improve medical trainees abilities to manage certain medical disorders and improve patient lives. Two of the people on my team just like the challenge and prestige of solving difficult problems, and being able to say it makes the world a better place is bonus to tell their friends and family. One programmer just thinks it's impressive to put on his resume, so he can realize his dream of working for a big video game company some day.
All my employees are also my friends whom I grew up with. Countless times throughout my life, they've gone out of their way to help me and my family. Now that they are also my employees, I want them to share the belief and commitment they've had in me to those clients who are trying to make a positive difference in the world. All my employees work hard, but it would be nice if everyone believed in working for a greater purpose than just oneself. Three of us already believe this. What is the likelihood I can convince the remaining three to believe the same thing?

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Following our recommendations for the flagship Sony SLT-A99, we've had the opportunity to assess the firm's semi-professional 24-Mpix DT (APS-C) format model - the SLT-A77 - with a sizeable collection of Sony and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these models perform best when paired with the camera. |
A battle rages in the hybrid camera sector between the Sony NEX Range with their APS-C sensors and the Micro Four-Thirds cameras. With interchangeable lenses for each the quality is not necessarily fixed when you buy your camera, you can upgrade the optics. In this first look at Sony E mount lenses, we are looking at their most recent additions, but we will look at others too, let us know which are most important to you. |
The Sony DT 35mm F1.8 SAM, a budget-focused prime lens, is only suitable for use on APS-C dSLRs, but it could be a pretty good choice if you own a Sony APS-C body and don't want to spend too much money on a wide-angle prime lens. Let's take a closer look. |

Make a Move
Experience Rebirth booklet here. "I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 Jn. 5:13)
We are in the midst of Ordinary Time (read my reflection there) now. We focus on Jesus' life and teachings and our call to follow him. Jesus was born, lived, died and rose to bring us abundant life (Jn. 10:10.) Fulton Sheen taught that Jesus was the only person ever born to die. The cross loomed even when he was in the crib. We came into our reality to redeem us from our sins and save us from death.
Because of his coming, we now can enjoy and receive "eternal life." This life is a new quality of life that comes through the Holy Spirit. Once you come to know the Holy Spirit in the depths of your being, eternal life has begun. The Spirit is the guarantee, the foretaste of what is to come and God's downpayment of Heaven itself. (Eph. 1:14) Death isn't the end, but simply becomes a transition to a fuller life with God in Heaven. Even now you will have "heaven in your heart" each day through the person of the Holy Spirit. What a way to live! Do you know where you are going when you die? This is the most important question that every human being should grapple with. In Jesus you can have a sure answer to that question. Jesus was tortured and died on a cross so that you could be forgiven and come to a personal relationship with God. He was resurrected as the first fruits of a new humanity. Rebirth occurs when you receive all that Jesus came to bring you. I invite you to surrender (or re-dedicate) your life to Jesus Christ right now. He is your best friend. He will help you and change you. He can get you out of any rut or addiction you may be stuck in. He will give you the blessed assurance of eternity with God now and forever. Please pray:
Jesus, I come to you in faith.I believe you suffered and died on the crossso that I could be forgiven. I come to you for a new beginning.Come into my heart in a fresh new way. I want to live forever with you in heaven.I will follow you the best I can. Thank-you Jesus. Amen!
I invite you to continue your surrender by praying daily, reading the Bible, good Spiritual books and by going to Church. I invite you to consider going to confession and celebrating Eucharist. Your spiritual growth is extremely important. I have written a booklet called "Experience Rebirth" I want you to read: Rebirth.You are saved by Grace, but you must walk this out through obedience and good works. God Bless you for your commitment. I want you to have that Blessed Assurance of salvation in the depths of your heart! If you would like to write me, please send me an email and I will personally reply to you. I would be happy to send you my first book Live Passionately! which explains salvation more fully, free of charge, when you request it. Just request the book (I'll email it to you) or send me your mailing address. Sincerely, Fr. Cedric

(AP) -- KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Union steelworkers will be back on the job at a Kansas City manufacturing plant next week after approving a new contract. Nearly 200 members of United Steelworkers Local 1307 had been locked out since their previous contract with Milbank Manufacturing Co. expired at 12:01 a.m. Monday. The two sides reached a tentative agreement Wednesay, and the company says union members ratified the new contract in a vote early Friday. A federal mediator had been brought in to help resolve the standoff. Terms of the new contract were not disclosed. Both sides had said increases in employee contributions to health insurance costs were the main sticking point. Milbank manufactures electrical equipment.

Californians Urged to Join the It Can Wait® Movement, Text to 464329 to Take the Pledge Never to Text While Driving
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and AT&T announce a month-long Drive 4 Pledges challenge. In an effort to combat this dangerous yet widespread habit, California mayors who accept the challenge will call upon their residents to take the pledge to never text while driving and to spread the message in their communities.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)
"Accidents caused by texting while driving are preventable. No text message is so important that it's worth your life or the lives of others," said Mayor Kevin Johnson. "That is why I'm challenging cities and mayors across the state to get as many pledges as possible, and asking Sacramentans to join me in taking the pledge not to text while driving."
The pledge drive lasts the month of October. California cities are challenged to compete with Sacramento in the number of pledges to never text while driving. To take the pledge, Sacramento residents should text "ICWSAC" to 464329 from their mobile device. Other cities can get a city-specific phrase from AT&T upon request.
"Texting while driving is dangerous and deadly. Pledge Day is about children asking parents, employers asking employees and friends asking each other not to text and drive," said Ken McNeely, President, AT&T California. "California has more drivers and more road than any state in the nation – the risks from texting while driving are very real and it's up to each of us to live the pledge."
Mayor Johnson's challenge is launched in association with the It Can Wait movement's Sept. 19 Drive 4 Pledges Day. Aspiring to create a social stigma around the dangerous habit of texting while driving, Drive 4 Pledges Day focuses on getting individuals to accept personal responsibility to never text while driving, while encouraging others in their community to do the same. Throughout California, cities are hosting rallies and community events on Drive 4 Pledges Day, including pledge drives at Southwestern College, Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA, and thirteen high schools across the state. Caltrans is posting "Texting Ticket $160+, Not Worth It" on more than 700 roadside message boards, strategically located on the State Highway system.
"Texting while driving is a serious safety concern," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "Every day highway workers put their lives on the line, just by going to work. One second of looking at your phone instead of the road can be the difference between life and death."
As part of the national campaign, It Can Wait advocates take action by changing their social profile photos and banner to It Can Wait graphics and sharing their personal pledge stories on social media using the hashtag #ItCanWait. All materials such as social graphics and posters are available for download from ItCanWait.com. Participants join AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile US, Inc., Verizon and more than 200 other organizations by sharing their commitment to end texting while driving.
"Distracted driving is extremely dangerous and we've seen an upward trend in texting while driving-related crashes. We recognize that it's on us to take action and do something about this issue," Chris Cochran, Assistant Director for the California Office of Traffic Safety said. "This is why we commend AT&T and the It Can Wait movement and encourage our communities to make the commitment to never text while driving."
The It Can Wait movement is making a difference. One-in-three people who've seen the texting while driving message say they've changed their driving habits1, the It Can Wait campaign has inspired more than 2.5 million pledges never to text while driving since 2008, and the recently launched "From One Second To The Next" documentary has received more than 2 million views since Aug. 8, 2013.
Other initiatives across the country for the It Can Wait Sept. 19 Drive 4 Pledges Day include:

Do you remember your first haunted house? Do you remember that feeling of anxiety, wondering when the next scary thing was going to jump out at you?
And of course, after it was over, you wanted to do it all over again, right?
Here's another holiday round up of events, this time it's Zombie Walks and Haunted Houses. Each of these events sounds scarier than the next.
If we missed your event, please let us know. Email Patch Regional Editor Susan Patton with your terrifying details or include the information in the comment section and we'll add it to the list.
And if you take any photos of a zombie apocalypse, share it!
Cuyahoga County
HAUNTED HOUSE: Bloodview Haunted House in Broadview Heights features volunteer actors done up by some of the industry's best gore artists and is billed as an interactive experience. The "Gore House" is new and improved (I kind of don't really want to know how that happened), and I'm afraid to imagine what a "Baby Doll Island" looks like. Sponsored by the Broadview Heights Lions Club, all proceeds go to charity. Admission is $15, and an all-night pass is $20. They really want to scare you, so consider yourself warned.
Summit County
HAUNTED HOUSE: Next on the list is the dreaded Haunted Schoolhouse and Lab, 1300 Triplett Blvd., Akron. This attraction has been around for 40 years and inspired many of today's haunted houses, according to their website. Open through Oct. 21, Fridays and Saturdays 7:30 p.m. to midnight and Sundays 7:30 to 10 p.m. Admission is $20 for the Schoolhouse and an additional $20 ticket is needed if you also want to get terrified in the Lab.
Medina County
ZOMBIES: At Light Up the Living Dead at Mapleside Farms, 294 Pearl Rd., Brunswick, humans have to fight the zombies by shooting them with paintball guns. You have to check out their website, and watch the automatically-playing video. It explains it all. Fridays and Saturdays 4-midnight through Nov. 3. Admission $15 and it includes 100 paint balls.
Lake County
ZOMBIES: Even Librarians can appreciate a good zombie invasion. Teens are invited to the Z-Day 2012 Celebration, which will be from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Mentor library's main branch.
ZOMBIES: As with other zombie attractions, the Forsaken Haunted House, 8200 Tyler Blvd., Mentor, has a back story that includes the origin of how the townsfolk got infected and became zombies. Hours are 7-midnight, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 3. Admission ranges from $20 to $30 and it is not recommended for children under 13. Oh, and no open-toed shoes -- exposed little piggies are too tempting for those zombies.
Lorain County
HAUNTED HOUSE: At the Spooky Ranch at Rockin-R-Ranch, 19066 E. River Rd., Columbia Station, they specialize in scary. Check out the forest of fear. They are open all month, but check out hours and dates here. You can buy tickets online or at the gate. But it's worth checking out their website. Caution -- there's spooky music that automatically plays.
Portage County
HAUNTED HOUSE: The Fortress of Fear Scream Park, 10268 Hewins Rd., Garrettsville, features two haunted houses and is not intended for small children or people who fear small spaces, they say. Open 8-midnight Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 27 with a bonus night on Oct. 28. Admission is $13.

BY DR. ROSEMARY BOWLER - Education in our public schools has been widely criticized for many perceived failures, such as: Lack of clear direction; hazy, contradictory aims; deterioration of standards of instruction; failure to achieve democratic values; and over-permissiveness and lack of discipline.
These specific criticisms, however relevant they may be today, were in fact made over 50 years ago in a report of the National Society for the Study of Education. Last Friday, a group of panelists looked at the current condition of our schools, underscored the complexities of educational reform and warned against "silver bullet" solutions and "one-size-fits-all" answers.
Friends of Boca Grande's second forum in their "See Something Worth Talking About" series opened the door a few inches on the problems inherent in reform movements. I was privileged to work with six experts who represented school administration and unions, charter schools, the business world, philanthropic foundations, and students with special learning needs, planning the forum. Given the complexity of the issues, the panel could only scratch the surface in their presentation of facts, figures, and viewpoints. Some of the lesser-known facts are: Public school teachers constitute close to 18% of the work force. This has implications for the goal of ensuring that excellent teachers will be placed in every classroom. Financial support of schools comes from states- 47%, local school districts- 44%, and the federal government (which mandates numerous programs but does not fully fund them) - 9%.
Most of the audience had attended two documentaries, "Waiting for Superman" and "American Teacher." The producers of each of these selected situations and data to support their agendas. Thus, Waiting for Superman focused on those charter schools achieving significant results and placed blame for failures in other schools, largely on teachers' unions. American Teacher used the stories of several high-performing teachers to demonstrate the physical, psychological, and financial conditions under which they work and refuted the belief that teachers have an easy job.
In my introductory comments, referring to the contradictory views of the two filmmakers, I noted that the panel had used the films as a starting point for a discussion. We hoped to cast a clearer light on the issues, rather than adding to the current acrimonious climate of charge and counter charge which show little promise for resolving the issues.
Bayne Stevenson caught everyone's attention with his first slide - a picture of Sputnick taking off, the impetus for an earlier period of calls for reform. He provided information on the current position of US education compared to other nations, with particular emphasis on those countries that are highly selective in enrolling students in teacher education schools and who award their teachers considerable autonomy and respect. In Finland and several other nations, students do not take high stakes tests until their final year in secondary school.
Mark Pritchett of Gulf Coast Community Foundation discussed the important role foundations have in stimulating innovation in education. Foundation dollars are leveraged as drivers to encourage better teaching, better use of technology, and higher levels of student achievement. He cited Gulf Coast Community Foundation's 5-year $2.5 million science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) initiative in Charlotte and Sarasota County schools as an example where Foundations are partners with schools to ensure success. Pritchett also recounted the role of Tallahassee policies and politics as major influences in how schools embrace innovation.
Chuck Richards and Marcia Louden provided insights into what is happening in our own backyard from the perspectives of a school administrator and a union leader. There was an audible gasp when Louden informed the audience that over 60% of the students in Charlotte County schools are eligible for free or reduced price lunch, which is based on the poverty level. Despite the severe economic needs of many families, the Charlotte County Schools have been "A" schools for a number years, based on the results of Florida Comprehensive Achievement Tests.
Of particular interest is the long-term collaborative relationship the union and the school district in Charlotte County have developed with a shared goal of Student Success. Richards provided documentation of the forward steps the union has initiated or supported and commented that unions, despite the largely-negative press of recent years, are actively engaged in problem-solving.
Because of this collaborative relationship between the union and CCPS leadership, a new form of school governance has emerged. From a legal standpoint, the buck still stops at the desk of the principal; however, the CCPS schools have developed a "shared leadership model." A group of teacher leaders and the principal meet regularly to discuss and develop school goals, grapple with critical issues at the school level, and chart our course forward. Teachers are given considerable autonomy to make decisions affecting their students. This has changed the relationship between the union, schools, and district leadership from an adversarial to a cooperative one. Striving for Student Success, scores on state and national tests have trended up (see page 10 in the booklet provided at the Forum).
Richard noted that AFT President Randi Weingarten, portrayed as the villain in Waiting for Superman, is responsible for developing and implementing effective teacher evaluation processes in a number of cities, most recently in New Haven.
Dr. Douglas Whittaker, Charlotte County Superintendent of Schools, graciously stepped in to answer several questions regarding the process by which teachers are recruited, mentored, and, when necessary, either encouraged to seek other employment or dismissed. He has given permission to use the statement he made upon assuming the superintendency of the district. This reflects his vision and aspirations for our local schools.
Using the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" as the backbone of our cultural development has allowed us to use a shared, common language. It has helped us to "be proactive" while we "begin with the end in mind" and "put first things first." Together, we "think win-win" and "seek first to understand then to be understood" which creates the possibility of creating "synergistic" solutions to complex problems. All of these efforts are held together by our practice of continually "sharpening the saw" which helps us maintain balance in our lives and keeps us renewed. The 7 Habits will continue as the core of our culture.
Emily Steffan clarified the distinctive characteristics of charter schools and shared data on the progress these schools have made in New Orleans. Charters schools there now enroll 80% of public school students, and in these schools there is an impressive record of academic progress. As a former Teach for America teacher and current dean in a New Orleans charter school, Steffan's' enthusiasm for teaching and for her students provided a strong ray of hope for the future.
Carolyn Cowen reviewed the role of special education as a catalyst in education reform and discussed the unintended consequences of even well designed reform. As one example, she cited the campaign to correct over enrollment of children with reading problems in special education-a top-down campaign emphasizing evidence-based reading in general education and a cornerstone of NCLB. This effort, she suggested, contributed to a grassroots backlash against testing and "narrowing of the curriculum."
She illustrated vividly the difficulty in appreciating the complex nature of education issues with a series of slides. This difficulty, she said, helps explain education's history of swinging between extremes and why even great solutions often create new problems. Appreciating education's dynamic complexities and working from both the bottom up and from the top down are essential to making and sustaining improvements in education. Her final slide underscored the importance of that goal by reminding the audience that each year, three million youngsters enter the U.S. education system with high hopes. It is the job of everyone, she said, to ensure those hopes are fulfilled.
A full-house audience listened to the panelists present their views and answer questions for over two hours, leaving many with a desire for additional time to delve more deeply into the issues of special interest to them. Friends of Boca Grande encourages members of the community, as well as the distinguished panelists, to call or e-mail with ideas for further investigation of the various aspects of educational reform.

Jimmy Pickens baseball scholarship established
Editor & Publisher
One of Jimmy Pickens' greatest joys late in his life was watching his grandson Garrett pitch for the Delta State University baseball team.
A scholarship has been established in his memory that may create opportunities for other proud grandfathers to experience that joy.
Pickens died in January at age 67 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was an avid supporter of his grandson and Delta State University baseball.
"Garrett could always count on his faithful grandfather to be sitting in the stands," said Karen Carnahan, who worked to establish the Jimmy Pickens Memorial Fund.

I recently received the most adorable print of a little grey kitty, sewing up a kitty onesie! :dies:
It is printed on really high quality cardstock and feels textured and is very matt. It looks like an original!
I think Miss Ella likes Cats!
Let's get to know Ella a little.
I am freelance Illustrator, Designer and Fancy Things maker based in the fairytale pastures of the East in the UK. The need to make and illustrate new characters and environments everyday is simply because they just can't all stay in my fizzing, bubbling head, it's far too crowded in there! Much inspiration comes from my love of craft, pattern, cats and all things kitsch. Before focusing so fully on illustration I was also a costume maker as well as studying Animation to a Masters Level and completing my PGCert in Teaching Art and Design so as well as having my fingers in many creative pies I also teach some wonderful students part time. When I don't have pencil in hand or pins in mouth I love travelling and seeing as much of this beautiful planet as I can.
