Cuts to Guilds' School stir criticism
School, health district struggling with budget
Funding cuts to an organization serving vulnerable children have caused backlash for county health officials as they restructure how to distribute stagnant funding at a time when needs are growing.
The $195,000 pulled from the Spokane Guilds' School and Neuromuscular Center helped pay for programs tailored for disabled and developmentally delayed children.
The Spokane Regional Health District said its funding decision is part of an effort to streamline the Early Support for Infants and Toddlers program, reduce dependency on local tax dollars and provide more equitable funding to other providers in the program.
But Guilds' School Executive Director Dick Boysen said the cuts will directly affect services to children. He sent a call-to-action letter to Guilds' School supporters that left county officials scrambling to control the damage.
The state Department of Early Learning recently selected the health district to hold the $579,890 contract for the 2012-13 fiscal year. The money is earmarked for the program's family resource coordinators.
The Guilds' School used $195,000 of the money to pay part of the cost of hiring its own coordinators rather than using providers employed by the health district. Other organizations either use health district employees or use other revenue, usually money they receive from school districts, to pay for their own coordinators.
In 2012, each health district family resource coordinator served an average of 56 families. The ideal caseload is 45. In contrast, the Guilds' School coordinators had caseloads of 26 families per coordinator.
"Equitably funding everybody that's trying to provide these services … that makes total sense," said Kim Papich, spokeswoman for the Spokane Regional Health District.
As need for the program has grown, funding remains static. The health district has responded by using more of its local tax dollars toward coordinators who don't work for the Guilds' School, said Elaine Conley, director of the health district's Community and Family Service programs.
"We just simply cannot afford to continue to do that," Conley said.
The health district wants the changes in funding to more accurately align money with caseloads to improve care coordination, while reducing that local dollar need by $30,000, Papich said.
"This isn't a decision about money," Papich said. "This is a decision about the kids. All kids, not just Guilds' kids."
Boysen disagrees with the health district's rationale. He said Guilds' School employees are already familiar with policies, staff and the children served. Boysen said it makes more sense for the provider that directly serves the children, who struggle with complex medical and cognitive issues, to employ its own family resource coordinators.
"I don't know what employer thinks it would be a good idea to accept employees from another organization to work at their own organization," he said. "We don't get it. It just doesn't make any sense. We already have trained, qualified people that know the program."
Conley said that if the Guilds' School wants to find other funding to continue to employ their own coordinators, "we would be delighted with that decision."
Two of the other main providers – Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy and Center for Pediatric Therapy – use health district coordinators, while Children FIRST pays for coordinators using other funding and Youthful Horizons uses one Department of Early Learning-funded coordinator through the health district and one using alternate funding.
In all, the changes to its relationship with the Spokane Regional Health District will require the Guilds' School to raise an additional $252,915. Boysen said the school already raises $1 million privately each year and going beyond that will be difficult.
"At some point our good donors can only stand so much pressure," he said.
The two organizations are set to discuss the issue at a meeting with the executive committee of the health board Thursday.
The dispute has spilled over to the Spokane City Council and Mayor David Condon's office, which also have been the targets of criticism from Guilds' supporters.
"I just think that the whole thing is ill-conceived," Boysen said. "If they do this to the Guilds' School, that is clear evidence that kids and families aren't even a consideration."

iDessert by Jean-Philippe opened up in San Diego a couple of years ago, and I recently went to check it out. Unlike the Jean-Philippe Patisseries in Las Vegas, which serve more traditional desserts and chocolates, iDessert is a new concept that allows you to customize your dessert.
I loved the meringue shells hanging from the ceilings! It was a really creative decorative touch, hehe.
You can choose whether you want to create a "Dessert", "Sundae", or "Milkshake" – there are iPads along a counter on one side of the store where you can customize and send your order. I definitely wanted to try one of their signature meringue desserts and since it was my first visit, I decided to choose one of the chef's creations: "Cozy", which features a chocolate crust, mocha gelato, vanilla cream, vanilla cake, caramel sauce, caramelized hazelnut crunch, served in a Vegas bowl – which means it's filled with dry ice to achieve a dreamy, ethereal look.

Falmouth Coastguard has been assisting a cargo vessel which had six people on board and began sinking 12 miles east of the Lizard.
The Sea Breeze is an 87m Barbados flagged cargo vessel with six crew onboard. It is carrying 2,750 tons of limestone and was bound for Shoreham at the time of the incident.
Lizard and Falmouth RNLI Lifeboats and a rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose attempted to pump water out of vessel, the 'Sea Breeze', with their own pumps. Other merchant vessels, who heard the mayday relay broadcast from Falmouth Coastguard, also stood by in case they were required.
Alex Greig, Falmouth Coastguard Watch Manager says:
"We received the mayday broadcast from the 'Sea Breeze' at 7:00 am and were able to get lifeboats and the helicopter on scene quickly, along with other vessels that were in the vicinity. The lifeboats and helicopter pumped water off the cargo vessel, whilst HMS Tyne was on its way with commercial pumps. However, unfortunately, the smaller pumps could not keep up with the ingress of water and the crew had to abandon ship at 8.40 am. Five of the crew are now safely ashore. A couple of them have minor injuries. The captain has remained on scene on board HMS Tyne to help with the salvage operation.

- Gujarat boy tops NEET
AHMEDABAD: Het Shah, an 18-year-old boy from Nadiad town, scored 685 out of 720 marks and grabbed the first rank in the All India Ranking (AIR) of National Eligibility cum-Entrance Test (NEET). The result of both the phases of exams was announced on Tuesday. Het Shah, a student of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), credited his mother Swati Shah for his success. Het's mother stayed with him in Kota when he was preparing for the NEET. "I could focus on my studies as my mother took care of me which helped me in cracking the exam," said Shah. Het said that he used to study for five to six hours da ily and avoided stress. "Music and novels helped me avoid stress. During the time of examination, my mother motivated me a lot to beat the exam fears due to which I never felt any pressure," he said. He added, "One should not be scared of exams and should not get depressed as it will lead you to nowhere.You have to enjoy your exams rather than getting pressurized." Shah has passed the class 12 exam from the Green Valley school of Vadodara. He had also secured fourth rank in the exam conducted by Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). His father said that Het had refrained from the social media sites for the last two years to focus on the NEET preparation Nearly 15,000 students from Gujarat appeared for the exam in two phases which were held in April and July this year. According to students, NEET-2 was easier than NEET-1. The main reason was that the students could not find much time for preparation for NEET-1 exam as the Supreme Court's verdict mandating NEET-1 compulsory for medical courses came just two days before the exam.

- Boy crushed under van
NEW DELHI: A 13-year-old boy was crushed to death in southwest Delhi's Sagarpur area on Monday afternoon when a reversing RTV van ran over him. The incident took place around 1pm near the Kailashpuri traffic signal where the child, identified as Rajeev, was picking rags. "As told by witnesses, driver was reversing the van when the child came under it. He succumbed on the spot. Seeing the incident locals rushed to the spot and dragged the driver out. His vehicle was vandalised and he was beaten up," said a senior police officer. During questioning, the driver Mangal (35), told police that he had checked before reversing the vehicle but there was no one there. He said that the boy suddenly appeared and came under the rear wheels of the vehicle. DCP southwest, Surrender Kumar said that the boy was declared 'brought dead' at the hospital. "The body has been sent for post mortem examination. A case has been registered against the driver for causing death due to negligence under section 304A of the IPC," he said Police said that they are also trying to identify the miscreants who assaulted the driver and then fled from the scene.

Moth World Championship - Gulari Crowned 2013 Moth World Champion
by Alan Block on 20 Oct 2013
Detroit, Michigan, USA's Bora Gulari is the 2013 International Moth World Champion. Thierry Martinez
An early squall drenched the 80 competitors for the 2013 McDougall + McConaghy International Moth World Championship this morning as they prepared their flying carbon-fiber craft for the final day of racing. The rain and clouds brought with them an unfortunate side effect, cooling down Oahu's Ko?olau Mountains and shutting down the building thermal breeze that might have allowed a final day of racing for the Moth World title.
After a tense three-hour wait in the Kaneohe Yacht Club boat park, Race Officer Tom Pochereva reached for the treble horn that indicates the end to the regatta; within seconds, a dozen American racers lifted Michigan's Bora Gulari in the air and tossed him in the club pool for the 2013 World Champion's ceremonial dunking.
Gulari becomes the first American two-time Moth World Champion since 1959; he won the 2009 World Championship in Cascade Locks, Oregon. 'It hasn't really set in yet,' said Gulari, after drying himself off. 'One thing I know for sure is that without Anthony, George, Brad, and pretty much the entire US Moth racing team, I would never be World Champion again.'
Gulari attributes his success to his Mach 2 Moth, which he says 'is a perfect platform for this kind of sailing,' combined with the cumulative effect of dozens of small changes to the boat. 'We've been working for a solid year in Detroit, refining and changing things bit by bit until they're perfect,' said Gulari. He also gave credit to his sail package, adding 'North Sails and specifically sailmaker Chris Williams came up with an extremely powerful sail design for this Worlds; I've never sailed with a faster sail since I bought my first Moth.'
A full news release will follow on Sunday; until then, you can find racing video, highlight reels, daily photo galleries, and interviews on the Moth Worlds Facebook Page.

Clean Racing Tip Of The Day
As one of the world's elite racing classes, the International Moth Class believes it essential to emphasize the responsible use of energy and resources in the context of sailing. Working with 11th Hour Racing, a program of the Schmidt Family Foundation, the Moth Class has come up with a number of initiatives to help all sailing events improve the energy profile and performance of racing boats and increase the personal investment of sailors in the health of our waters. Each day, the Moth Worlds fleet will highlight a 'Clean Racing Tip' they've implemented; something that will work for regattas and racing classes around the world. Here's today's tip:
Rule 55 of the Racing Rules of Sailing prohibits the discharge of trash on the race course. But the problem isn't just on the water; trash in the dinghy parks and yacht clubs is just as bad — and often ends up in the water. Make trash disposal easy for competitors by keeping trash barrels easily accessible.

News Picks : New model and a phone app may help overcome jet lag
14 April 2014
Los Angeles Times: All you might need to know to minimize jet lag is your current location, destination, and the kind of light you'll have access to. A new iPhone app uses that information to produce the schedule of light exposure you need to follow to reset your body clock after you arrive. If you stay on schedule, you can reduce the entrainment period—the time it takes to adapt to a new time zone—drastically. The app uses a model built by Daniel Forger of the University of Michigan based on 10 years of sleep study observations. To Forger, the model was surprisingly simple in that it gradually adjusts the period of light exposure. The app itself is still experimental and is being used to crowdsource further data regarding how effective the proposed schedules are.

Activists of Maharashtra Navnirman Vidhyarthi Sena (MNVS) have threatened Mumbai University (MU) officials of dire consequences if students of LLM are not given question papers in Marathi. However, the varsity's board of examination has refused to give into their demands.
According to MNVS activists, students are allowed to write their paper in Marathi, but the question papers they get are in English.
A student said, "The university is at fault. When they allow students to answer papers in Marathi, they should provide questions in Marathi, too."
Students had approached the MNVS with their demand. "Our complaints go unheard but the authorities respond well to political outfits," said another student. MNVS (Mumbai University wing) vice-president Santosh Gangurde said it was injustice to students and authorities were violating the Mumbai University Act. "This course is not available in Marathi in the university, so students opted for it in English. They allow these candidates to answer their exams in Marathi but do not print the question paper in Marathi. This is against the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994."
The exam for LLM begins from May 3. Over 1,000 candidates will be appearing for two exams. Advocate Manoj Tekade, regional vice-president of MNVS said, "Students do not enroll in the course to get passing grades.
Most of the time, these students end up wasting time in translating technical terms. It is the responsibility of the varsity officials offer students such basic facilities. Mumbai University is a state university; it is binding on them to provide question paper in Marathi."
The varsity decided the the question paper would be in English chiefly because the textbooks for the course are in English only. All reference books prescribed by UGC are in English, too. Judgments of the Supreme Court and the High Court are available only in English.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS) announced today that its new 802.11ac products and technology have been selected by a number of schools, school districts and colleges and universities across the United States to tackle the growing demands for more reliable, faster and higher capacity Wi-Fi services needed to transform education in today's classrooms.
"The traditional educational experience for students and teachers has gone digital and online," said Will Kerr, technology director for the Reynoldsburg City School District, the latest school district to standardize on Ruckus 802.11ac products and technology. "Wi-Fi has become the primary means of connectivity, and it absolutely must operate as reliably as any utility. Conventional Wi-Fi technology was never really designed with this in mind."
Located just east of Columbus, OH, the Reynoldsburg City School District has now replaced its legacy Aruba 802.11n Wi-Fi system with 405 new Ruckus ZoneFlex™ R700 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi access points. "Our existing Wi-Fi system was costly, difficult to manage and simply couldn't keep up with the client capacities we needed to support for delivering a 21st Century education," said Kerr. "This drove us to the R700."
The ZoneFlex R700 is the first and only dual-band, three-stream indoor 802.11ac Wi-Fi access point (AP) for the new 802.11ac standard to integrate patented Ruckus BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna array technology. BeamFlex+ helps to significantly extend the range and speed of indoor Wi-Fi networks, providing unmatched reliability and gigabit-class Wi-Fi performance.
Supporting more than 7,500 students and faculty across 14 schools within this 14 square mile school district, Reynoldsburg's move to the 802.11ac standard was driven in large part by its one-to-one initiatives to provide Chromebooks to students and staff, as well as the explosive growth in the use of Wi-Fi for a variety of purposes, ranging from guest access to student information systems and back-end administrative applications.
According to Kerr, after evaluating competitive WLAN systems from suppliers including Aruba, Cisco Meraki and HP, Reynoldsburg standardized on the Ruckus ZoneFlex 802.11ac R700 system. The new Ruckus 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi network replaces an existing Aruba WLAN infrastructure that was struggling to deliver the performance, capacity and stability essential for the District's wireless requirements. Taking only three days to deploy, Ruckus ZoneFlex R700 APs have now been installed across District classrooms in 15 buildings housing pre-school (kindergarten), elementary, middle and high schools.
"After evaluating everything out there, Ruckus was the clear Wi-Fi choice as it was the only network infrastructure system that was ideally suited to address the unique requirements for Wi-Fi in education," Kerr said.
The new Ruckus infrastructure also works seamlessly with the District's iBoss network security system and Active Directory authentication domain to automate policy enforcement and content filtering based on user authentication. The entire Wi-Fi network for the District is centrally managed using Ruckus ZoneDirector™ 5000 controllers, located within Reynoldsburg's network operations center (NOC).
"With Ruckus, we were able to install fewer but more industrial strength APs that could cover additional locations that I just couldn't resolve with other suppliers. So, my original two-year deployment plan using a cloud-based Wi-Fi alternative that forced us into a subscription model could be reduced to a one-year plan, and at a substantially lower cost. This was a key deciding factor in selecting Ruckus over other cloud-based solutions we were considering," Kerr concluded.
"We are seeing the migration to the new 802.11ac standard accelerating at a faster pace than the adoption of the 802.11n standard when it was first introduced," said Wendy Cartee, vice president of Marketing for Ruckus Wireless. "Within our first quarter product shipments, our 802.11ac Wi-Fi systems have quickly eclipsed the run rate for three-stream 802.11n products."
In addition to Reynoldsburg City School District, many more U.S. K-12 and higher education institutions have selected Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi products and technology, including the San Francisco Unified School District, plus:
-Barnstable Public Schools District (MA)
-Marshfield Public School District, Marshfield (MA)
-Bellarmine University (KY)
-Milford School District, Milford (NH)
-Coatesville Area School District, Chester County (PA)
-Oak Park Unified School District (CA)
-Community High School District 117, Lake Villa (IL)
-Pickerington Local School District (OH)

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work.

1st New car I bought from Bennett Chevy was back in 1969...a brand-spankin' new maroon colored Camaro with a 327 V-8 engine. It turned heads then. And I wish I still had it. I don't know why I drifted away over the years. I guess I just wanted to check some other places out. I just wanted to look around. But over the years, it became clear that I should come back here and see if they're still as good as I remember they were, when I was a kid. Well, let me tell you...they're even better. In the Fall of 2006 I bought a New 2007 HHR. I loved it. Great mileage, good deal, and it was just a cool vehicle. Today, I came back to see what they had, and I met Scott Lam. Here's a young man who was born to be in this line of work. Its plain to see he takes pride in his work. And if you're not exactly sure what you want when you start looking around, he'll take his time and show you how every single thing works. And if you don't like a particular vehicle, he'll help you find another one that's better suited to you and your needs. Every thing he did, was to help me feel comfortable with this purchase. He doesn't rush you, or put the slightest bit of pressure on you to make a sale. He wants to put you in a car (or other vehicle) that you'll be comfortable with. He is the kind of Car Salesman that other salesmen should aspire to be. I'm not always the easiest person to deal with. And I have a few health issues that make me need a couple things in a car that others may not need. But Scott's got patience. And he will not pressure you or rush you, not one little bit. I'm satisfied with my deal. And I love my new car. A 2011 Impala with the works. By the way...this Impala's 6-cylinder has more HP than my '69 Camaro's 327 had, plus it gets 29 MPG (hwy) to boot. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone that wants to find a great deal...and have the opportunity to take a ride in some of the coolest cars, SUVS, and trucks in South Jersey. By the way....Scott can also be reached on the Internet. And he WILL check his email and get back to you.

I was recommended by a family member to come to chevy Bennett to take a look at the cars they have for sale. I live over an hour away so when I agreed to go I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed or thinking what a waste of time... As soon as I arrived I was greeted by Mark Hendrickson . I knew right away I was going to be dealing with someone who took pride in their work and who was out to truly serve his customers. My stepfather also told me that he had set up a special appointment with mark to help me find a good vehicle. Mark went over and above to accommodate us. He listened to everything I told him I needed and wanted. I also told him my budget and what I had to work with. He truly took everything I said and made it work. I found a car that I fell in love with instantly and mark was able to get me into it without breaking my budget. He was very informative about everything and took me step by step through the whole car buying process. Not only did I get a new vehicle but I left there with more knowledge on car buying. He also helped me with getting the right insurance ppolicy and rate for my new car. He also took the time to go through the car with me and show me how everything works. I didn't have to worry about a thing. He took care of EVERYTHING!! The next day after I purchased the car he telephoned me to make sure I was completely satisfied and to let me know he is taking care of the plates and registration. I believe that if every car salesman were like mark more cars would be sold and the consumers would also be more knowledgable about car buying. Thank you mark for everything.

I do not like car shopping; I always approach it with trepidation and dread. So I was not looking forward to shopping for a car today. I had had contact with Mark (service) and Andrew (sales) the previous day because my husband's car had been brought there for service. After speaking with my husband concerning his car and the necessary repair and cost of repair, he decided that it would make more sense to look into trading in the old car and looking for a new or pre-owned car. I mentioned this to Mark and he offered to have someone in sales call me to discuss trade-in value. Andrew called me promptly and helped me with my questions. We then went the next day (Nov. 3, 2012)and met with Andrew to discuss purchasing a car. Of course, we drove away with a new car. Am I satisfied with the deal? Yes,I think that Andrew and Jim both did their best for us. I realize that the dealership is a business and they are not able to give away the product. The service was excellent, everyone in the dealership was friendly, approachable and helpful. Andrew was professional and knowledgable (and so handsome!), Jim (handsome too) was helpful and able to obtain the best financial deal possible for us. To be honest, I had been at Bennett in the past (2 years ago) and had a not so very pleasant experience (salespeople using profanity on the showroom floor, salesperson not very friendly or accomodating, totally uninterested). Today was a huge improvement and I would certainly recommend this dealership and my salesperson to friends and family.

The weaponisation of community norms in fandomAug. 29th, 2016 02:45 pm
So, I've been in fandom a long time and have seen the overall values of various fannish communities shift and change. I've personally been involved in efforts to improve fandom's attitudes towards social justice. But unfortunately it seems like whatever values fandom has in theory, in practice fans tend to exhibit the same toxic behaviours, often entirely opposed to the values they are theoretically upholding. Seeing this happen with social justice has been especially frustrating, but it's always bad, and I'm not sure what can be done about it.
