Culinary school serves up opportunity to at-risk youth
"Rosemary's Kitchen" will open in 2013
What do you get when you mix a local nonprofit, with some of the city's top chefs?
It's a recipe for what hopes to be a successful program, which will teach kids a little about culinary art. The program, called "Rosemary's Kitchen" is the brainchild of Rosemary Kowalski, a 66-year veteran of the food industry.
The program will offer hands-on training to at-risk youth, helping and inspiring them, to pursue careers in the culinary arts.
"We want to teach them to learn things that are very practical for all of us," said Kowalski. "Because nowadays people eat out more than they do at home. "
Though the program hasn't started quite yet, SA Youth CEO, Cynthia Le Monds says, it's already a crucial part of what the non-profit does.
"A lot of our young people are quitting school, and they don't have any opportunity, and are low on their skills," said Le Monds. "There aren't a lot of workforce training programs in our community that are training these young people. And the beauty of this program is it helps them get that workforce skill, but it helps them get their high school diploma or GED at the same time."
The culinary school is slated to open in January of 2013, and will be housed out of the Mission Verde Center.

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie)
Last updated: 03-03-2014
Within This Page
Today, most contracts require the handover of paper documents containing equipment lists, product data sheets, warranties, spare part lists, preventive maintenance schedules, and other information. This information is essential to support the operations, maintenance, and the management of the facilities assets by the owner and/or property manager.
Gathering this information at the end of the job, today's standard practice, is expensive, since most of the information has to be recreated from information created earlier. COBie simplifies the work required to capture and record project handover data.
The COBie approach is to enter the data as it is created during design, construction, and commissioning, see Figure 1. Designers provide floor, space, and equipment layouts. Contractors provide make, model, and serial numbers of installed equipment. Much of the data provided by contractors comes directly from product manufacturers who can also participate in COBie. Please see Project Delivery Teams for more information.
Fig. 1. COBie Process Overview
Since different parties, using different kinds of software, all need to interact with COBie information, COBie information can be displayed in a several different formats. All of these formats provide a completely interoperable view of the underlying information specified by COBie. For designers, COBie can be created using a "Save As..." and selecting the IFC file format. Builders may want to use specialized commercial software to update the COBie data with manufacture's information, or directly enter information in a spreadsheet display of COBie data. Facility operators can import COBie data, formatted in either IFC or spreadsheet, directly into asset and maintenance data.
There are many different types of projects, so COBie can be extended and specified to support specific requirements of an owner or facility type. Owners can replace the default OmniClass categories, with categories that they use. Fields required for specific types of buildings may also be added to the COBie format simply by adding columns to the COBie spreadsheet. Attributes for spaces and equipment may also be specified. Another project, the Specifier's Properties information exchange (SPie) project aims to develop national standards for that can be enforced through the delivery of COBie data.
This is a general description of COBie. To determine if your specific software complies with COBie requirements, please see the COBie Means and Methods page. There is also an on-line COBie2 training program.
A. Early Design Stage
As the design begins the vertical and horizontal spaces that are necessary to fulfill the owner's requirements for the building, facility, or infrastructure project are defined. Within these buildings, facilities, or projects are also defined the different types of systems that are needed to satisfy the owner's requirements. Please see Project Planning, Delivery and Controls for more information.
Fig. 2. Early Design Stage Information
Figure 2 illustrates how this information is provided through COBie. COBie data begins with the listing of one or more Facilities (i.e. buildings or projects). Each of these facilities has one or more Floors. Within each floor there are Spaces. In buildings, these spaces will typically have room numbers. Outside the building, spaces can be referenced by function, such as "parking lot" or "patio seating." For non-building projects COBie users can create "floors" and "spaces" that provide the most meaningful partition of the physical regions that comprise those projects.
Since a significant benefit can be achieved for Asset Managers, COBie allows the exchange of space function and area calculations provided directly by the designers' CAD or BIM software.
Early in the design, projects are developed by listing spaces and identifying specific functions required to meet the owner's requirements. To allow these spaces to perform as intended, specific building Systems, are also required for all projects. For buildings, these systems include: electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), potable water, wastewater, fire protection, intrusion detection and alarms and other systems. In COBie, there must be at least one System for each Facility.
B. Construction Documents Design Stage
As the design progresses the material, products, and equipment needed for the building are specified. The types of products are most often displayed as finish, product, and equipment schedules. The use of these schedules for any variety of reasons, including quantity take off, asset management, and of course facility maintenance and operations requires multiple, error-prone manual transcriptions. The organization of product and equipment information within COBie is shown in Figure 3.
The types of equipment are listed along with the specific location of each of these types. Product's properties are listed as COBie common attributes. With these data structures, COBie transfers schedule information from designers to builders and later to operators. Information within the COBie file allows the designer to identify fixed or movable property. See Real Property Inventory (RPI) for more information.
Fig. 3. Construction Documents Stage Information
Components are organized into systems that are also listed in COBie. These systems provide specific building services to building occupants such as alarms, electrical, fire protection, HVAC, plumbing systems, and others. Currently an optional COBie set of data are the connections between equipment. Connections allow the designers to specify how specific pieces of equipment are logically connected. This would allow, for example, a worker to know what other equipment would be effected if a valve closed.
During the design there may be documents of interest pertaining to specific parts of the building. These documents can be linked by reference to the COBie 'documents' data. Designers may also specify the requirements for documents in COBie. One of the most common lists of required documents is the submittal register. The submittal register is a key aspect of COBie since it is the approved submittals during construction that comprise the bulk of construction handover data sets.
C. Contractor Quality Control Stage
As the project progresses from design to construction, the next stage of the project that contains COBie data occurs when the contractor provides submittals for the designer specified required documents. COBie information exchange allows electronic copies acknowledged or approved submittals to be directly linked to specific types of materials, products, equipment, and systems within the building.
The majority of these linked documents are provided as PDF files from documents already created by product manufacturers. Shop drawings should be lined in their native CAD/BIM formats as well as in PDF-views. Scanned or photographic images are required for submittals that require physical samples. When the COBIE data is transmitted these files are provided with the COBIE file on a single COBIE data disk.
It is during this stage that construction contractors have a choice about how to implement COBie. They could continue to create facility handover data at the end of the construction process and simply scan and link COBie data. While meeting the COBie requirement, the effort does little to streamline the process or reduce the cost of the submittal process. If, however, the construction contractor and the owner utilize and electronic submittal register, there will be virtually no cost for the collection of submittals at the end of the project since these documents will all be provided in the submittal register software. A not-for-profit eSubmittal program is available through ProjNetSM.
Inquiries to large and small general contractors across the country have indicated that they are ready to provide electronic submittals, if only construction managers and owners would accept such submittals. Unfortunately it is the case that, the ability of contractors to meet the requirements of COBie exceeds the current level of expertise of owners to accept and process electronic submittals. Given the cost and time savings opportunities for contractors, it is possible that the use of eSubmittal programs can significantly speed the delivery of accurate COBie data.
D. Product Installation Stage
Fig. 4. Product Installation Stage (Part 1) Information
Once the construction contractor procures the specified materials, products, and equipment they are installed. The manufacturer and model for all products are listed under Type data. Documentation of manufacturer and model can either be documented at installation or during the prior submittal process. The serial numbers for as-installed equipment and/or tags are documented in the Component data. Since room names change, contractors can also provide the room number tag if that number differs from the room listed on the original design.
While large projects will be able to support the purchase and use commercial software to document installed equipment, the majority of construction in the United States is accomplished by small contractors who may not have access to such software. For these companies direct use of a 'locked down' version of the COBie spreadsheet should be very satisfactory. Unlike the manual creation of equipment lists required today, contractors only need to change the room location for equipment if there is a change order related to that equipment.
It is important to note that the requirement of contractors to provide equipment and valve tag lists is already a requirement in virtually all construction contracts. COBie requires nothing new, simply a change of format in existing contract requirements. The Contractor is free to use COBie as part of their traditional process or take the COBie Challenge to eliminate the end of project "job crawl" in lieu of simply typing in the serial numbers of equipment and tags as they are installed.
Warranty information associated with bulk items (such as carpet) or one-of-a-kind products (such as medical equipment) are identified by Type. The component's installation date provides more detailed warranty start dates if needed.
E. System Commissioning Stage
Once the equipment is installed and tested, the systems are turned on and made operational for O&M staff. In COBie, there are several documents that describe system operations. These documents include Instructions, Tests, and Certifications. As with all other submittals COBie documents are provided in native or PDF format and referenced in the COBie Documents data set.
The final stage of commissioning is to develop scheduled or preventive maintenance and other types of plans that support long-term facility operations. In COBie there is space for the following types of plans: Preventive Maintenance (PM), Safety Plans, Troubleshooting Plans, Start-Up Procedures, Shut-Down Procedures, and Emergency plans. These plans, or the documents containing these plans, are provided through the COBie job data.
Fig. 5. System Commissioning Stage (Part 1) Information
In addition to listing specific types of job plans, COBie requires the identification of critical resources needed for these job plans. Often special Materials, Tools, or Training will be needed before starting a particular job. These resources are identified in COBie as Resource data. As with other manufacturer provided and commissioning agent augmented information, spare parts data may be provided by document or by individual spare part records.
Manufacturers often provide job plans and parts diagrams with product data sheets and catalogs. The need of construction contractors reference a consolidated set of manufacturer data in such large documents should be a short-term effort. Once the COBIE format is established in the construction industry, manufacturers will begin to provide COBIE data directly to construction contractors along with PDF catalog cuts. Manufacturer's suggested maintenance plans, as well as standard warranty and replacement parts are also specified with the product data in the SPie project templates.
COBie data is created by designers and expanded by contractors using a variety of software solutions. Commercial design and construction contractors support the direct delivery of COBIE data as part of their current products. On the O&M side, several Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) have implemented direct import of COBIE information. The COBie team has conducted multiple COBie Challenges where software vendors have demonstrated their products ability to produce and/or consume COBie information. To see the state of compliance against the COBie requirement please see "COBie Means and Methods."

Current Status
COBie was approved in the first round of balloting for the National BIM Standard, United States. The approved ballot approves COBie version 2.26 to be part of the NBIMS-US.
Three previously published updates noted in the COBie 2.26 ballot have now been incorporated into COBie version 2.40. The first of these changes is the inclusion of standard product information needed for the Specifiers' Properties information exchange project. The second of these changes was the inclusion of the "Assembly" worksheet that allows designers, builders, or manufacturers to specify custom product assemblies such as Air Handling Units or electrical distribution panels. The third change, the addition of the "Issues" worksheet, was required to comply with European standards for the identification of occupational safety and environmental compliance issues. This transition did not change balloted COBie 2.26, but only extended the approved version to meet international requirements. Following balloting the COBie 2.4 extensions sometime in 2012, no changes to the COBie format are currently anticipated.

Neighborhoods: Kenney Fort Center
Great Haircolorist – I had the worst hair color ever! I went to someone that is highly recommended on citysearch and had the a BAD job done. When I walked in and started talking to Cynthia I knew I was in the right place! She listened to what I wanted and didn't want an we had a great consultation and she deliver the best results I have ever had. I have that going gray hair and I like highlights, it was so nice to see all of the gray was covered and my highlights look fresh! So excited to find my forever stylist! GO SEE CYNTHIA VASQUEZ!! 589-9036
It's A Great Hair Day! – Our family loves Cynthia! We've been going to her for several years. She does my hair as well as my four children. Two teenage boys, a hip pre-teen girl and a first grade cutie...she can please them all! She's very knowledgeable and helpful, lending her advice and creativity as well as listening to what we want in a style. Shes is very accomodating, always trying to fit most, if not all of us, in at one appointment. This works great for us! More than a stylist, Cynthia has become our friend!
Thanks for the review AnnMarie! I am lucky to have clients like you and your family. Have a great summer! See you guys before school. :)
Wonderful! – Firstly, I like Cynthia's hair studio because it is quite and not noisy like many other salons---it's like having your own private stylist. She uses high quality products on my hair that smell awesome! Additionally, her schedule is very flexible and accommodating.
I've never been disappointed with my haircut, and she even gives me styling tips so I can achieve the same look once I get home.
Lastly, her prices cannot be beat---I take my 2 daughters there as well.
Give Cynthia a try----I know you will be glad you did.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a review. You know I look forward to our visits. See you soon.
Love her! – I brought in a picture of what I wanted and she got it exactly right. She made me feel welcome and like I was at home, even at my very first appointment. If you are looking for somebody who will listen to what you want and get it right go to Cynthia!
Great stylist – I give her free rein with my hair and have never been disappointed with the results. She is the only person who has ever cut and colored my hair and I won't trust any one else with the task. My hair was crazy and thick but over the years of her taking care of it I have received nothing but compliments about my hair. Oh and there is never a dull moment in her suite.
Great hairstylist – I have been going to Cynthia for over five years i think. I love her. She always listens to what I want and gives great advice. She will work with my schedule too.
Hair – I've known her for a long time and she's a wonderful person. She knows what's good for my hair and always leaves me satisfied. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Always willing to make you happy =) – I have been seeing Cynthia for the past 5 yrs or so and she is the only person I trust to get my color and cut correct. If the color is not exactly what you wanted she is always willing to make it perfect with a smile! I made the mistake of letting someone else touch my hair once and I learned my lesson ;) I recommend seeing her if you are in need of a great cut or color.
Satisfied Customer – I've been going to Cynthia for the past 6 years to get my hair done and I have always loved the outcome she takes her time and it shows in her work.
Cynthia Rocks! – I have had some bad color jobs the last few times, then I met Cynthia! My hair has never looked better! She has a great honest opinion and only wants you to look your best and know how to take care of your hair. I will never go any place else!

After languishing in the depths of NU in the previous generations, Parasect got a great gift from the Dream World—Drizzle Politoed. Thanks to the endless downpour that Politoed brings, Parasect can effectively utilize Dry Skin, giving it a niche as a bulky Grass-type and SubSeed user on rain teams. It is also one of the few Pokemon who have access to Spore. This makes it a massive pain to deal with on rain teams, as it can stall out a large number of threats with Leech Seed and Substitute while replenishing its health every turn with Dry Skin and Leftovers. However, our mushroom friend does have its fair share of problems. While it has access to Spore, Parasect will become nearly useless outside of rain, as its relatively poor defensive stats will mean that any powerful neutral attack will KO it. This is compounded by the fact that Parasect has weaknesses to common Fire- and Ice-type attacks along with Stealth Rock. Taunt also completely shuts it down, meaning that dangerous foes such as Gyarados can set up on Parasect with ease. Despite these glaring flaws, Parasect shouldn't be underestimated. Play carelessly against it, and Parasect can make you pay dearly.
Parasect makes a fantastic SubSeed user in the rain, as it can put a Pokemon to sleep with Spore and then gradually wear the opponent down with Leech Seed. Spore sets Parasect apart from other SubSeed users, and with the new sleep mechanics, it can potentially incapacitate the unfortunate victim for the rest of the match. Leech Seed and Substitute go hand-in-hand, as the HP lost from using Substitute can easily be recovered by Leftovers, Leech Seed, and Dry Skin. Substitute also has the added benefit of protecting Parasect from nasty status-inducing moves that could potentially cripple it, such as Toxic.
There are two options for the last moveslot. X-Scissor allows Parasect to smack Grass-types who might switch in to absorb Leech Seed. It also allows Parasect to deal with Ferrothorn, a big threat to rain teams, as Ferrothorn cannot break Parasect's Substitute with Power Whip or Gyro Ball. On the other hand, Protect makes Parasect nearly impossible to deal with outside of Taunt, as it can stall the opponent indefinitely with Leech Seed, Substitute, and Protect while they get worn down by Leech Seed. However, without X-Scissor, any Taunt user will completely shut down Parasect and set up on it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Though Parasect has a few other moves it can run, it is mostly outclassed in other roles and is hard-pressed for moveslots as it is. Aromatherapy can be used to heal its teammates, but Blissey plays the role of a cleric better with its massive special bulk. Parasect can also run both Spore and Stun Spore to surprise the opponent and support slower teammates, but Jirachi, Ferrothorn, and Blissey are bulkier and can spread paralysis more reliably. Parasect can even attempt a sweep with Swords Dance, and has physical options such as Seed Bomb, X-Scissor, and Brick Break, but it has better things to do. Finally, Parasect can run Toxic, but this would be a waste of a moveslot when considering the fact that its teammates can provide Toxic Spikes support much more reliably.
Checks and Counters
Unfortunately, Parasect has a long list of counters. Weather changers pose a massive threat to Parasect, as with its below-par defensive stats, it just can't stomach powerful blows from the likes of Tyranitar and Ninetales. Taunt also completely ruins Parasect, as it can barely scratch its foes with X-Scissor unless they are weak to it. Tornadus and Gyarados are especially dangerous, since they both pack Taunt, a handy resistance to X-Scissor, and benefit from the rain Parasect loves so much. Pokemon with a Grass / Poison typing, such as Roserade, are also a massive pain for Parasect to deal with, as they are immune to both Toxic and Leech Seed, remove Toxic Spikes, and can severely hurt Parasect with their STAB Poison-type attacks. They need to watch out for Spore, though. Magic Bounce Xatu is another great check to Parasect, as it can bounce back both Spore and Leech Seed, set up on Parasect while healing off any damage taken from X-Scissor with Roost, and maim it with its STAB Flying-type attacks. Finally, although rare, Sap Sipper users such as Sawsbuck and Bouffalant are immune to both Spore and Leech Seed, and can gain an Attack boost by switching into them. In general, if Parasect is not behind a Substitute, anything that can exploit its numerous weaknesses can KO it with ease, though they need to be careful switching in.

Q: My 18-month-old kicks me and hits me when I try to change his diaper. He doesn't do this for his father or grandparents. Should I hold his legs down until he gives up or will this worsen things?
A: Holding his legs will definitely make matters worse.
A 13-year-old Washington state boy was recently arrested, then released to the custody of his parents after making online threats of shooting up and blowing up his middle school.
Q: Several months back, our just-turned 3-year-old son invented an imaginary friend whom he calls Larry. We're worried because he seems involved to the point of being obsessed with him. He plays with Larry almost constantly, talking to him all the while.
In a recent column I said thumb-sucking is not, as was once thought, a sign of insecurity or other psychological problems. Well-adjusted children suck their thumbs and grow up to be well-adjusted adults.
Q: My 5-year-old is going to Kindergarten soon and still sucks her thumb. We've tried everything to get her to stop, even a dental appliance, but she won't give it up.
"I'm a yeller," she said, she being the mother of three young children.
"No," I replied, "you're not. There is no genetic predisposition toward yelling, and no biochemical or neurological condition that makes yelling inevitable much less irresistible.
Q: Help! We find it almost impossible to finish a restaurant meal when our 18-month-old twins are along, which is always. We give them toys to keep them busy, and they do well for about 30 minutes after which chaos breaks loose.
I often hear real-life parenting stories that evoke two equally strong feelings: on the one hand, sorrow; on the other, gratefulness.
If my parents told me once, they told me at least one hundred times, "Don't talk to anyone about their religious or political beliefs." They meant, of course, that those topics are likely to generate tension and angry conflict.
Q: Our 9-year-old daughter is going to the fourth grade next school year. She loves school and has always done very well. She recently took a series of tests and we've learned that she qualifies for the gifted and talented program.
Q: My 3-year-old started preschool 3 days a week (private sitter other two days) about 2 months ago. He did great. However, this week he began being defiant and not following directions. Then he kicked, screamed, and spit at his teachers.
Q: Our son's fifth birthday is in August. He did just fine, socially and academically, in preschool, but the counselor at the school he's slated to attend has recommended that we hold him back a year because of his late birthday.

Joseph Lister, 1st Lord Lister, 1827 – 1912 about 1855
- Scottish Art
The son of a microscopist, Joseph Lister became a famous surgeon and a great promoter of antiseptic surgery. After studying medicine in London, he moved to Edinburgh where he worked for another famous surgeon, Professor James Syme. In 1869 Lister was made professor of clinical surgery, a post he held until 1877. At the time, septic diseases such as gangrene caused high mortality rates among patients in the ever enlarging Victorian hospital wards. As well as promoting general cleanliness, Lister pioneered the idea of antiseptic dressing of wounds to prevent germs from entering. His attacks on traditional medicine in favour of a more scientific approach caused controversy amongst his colleagues. Nevertheless, he is now largely credited with the revolution in antiseptic surgery.

BAFANA Bafana have rejected any advances for bonuses in the Africa Cup of
Nations, with the players stating that they will only look to get paid if they
qualify for the quarter-finals. Even if they win their 1st 2 games they do not want to get anything.
Views: 211
Good team spirit
This is just a trap to get us behind the team.
I'm the football supporter, i don't need traps to get behind my National team.
hehehehehe well said
It shows there are not there for money but have a winning mentality...good approach!
Stop the negativiy have you not had enough of it, what Bafana have done here is to extend an olive branch to the nation that whatever they are doing they are not doing it for money but for their nation and you still find fault c'mon on guys.
A nation that stands divided shall stand united in defeat.
And since this is a "good" move by the team it hasn`t really gotten much attention from our usually negative journalists. Had it been a strike for bonuses every journalist and his dog would have something to say about it.
Good spirit by the boys, Bafana Bafana SIYAVENA this time!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the players that have instilled the DTC mentality in this team,i can see the way forward.
Bafana are going to win this thing
if it isnt the bald freak.....which thing wena?
Take a wild guess

From flashy new uniforms to the very real possibility of a new (or highly renovated) Sun Devil Stadium, this offseason was full of surprises and curveballs. Another big one came down the pike yesterday as Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott announced the Pac-12 Network, which will begin broadcasting in the fall of 2012.
With the college football season a mere three months away, gambling futures for the season are beginning to pop up. Arizona State is looking to be one of the favorites to win both the South Divison and the Pac-12 Conference title.
While we all want the Sun Devils to succeed in 2011, we need to be careful about the level of expectation we put on ASU.
Does the new TV contract mean the end of the Stanford student section at Stanford-USC games?
The Pac-12 television deal with ESPN and Fox was the next logical step for Scott and the conference. As part of the $2.7 billion deal, the Pac-12 agreed to play more of their games in primetime. The only sacrifice they had to make? Many of those primetime games are slated for Thursday and Friday nights.
In upcoming Pac-12 schedules, WSU will face USC and UCLA in alternating two-year rotations while playing the other four South schools six times apiece.
The California Golden Bears will play two Thursday night nationally televised games in 2011 at Autzen Stadium in Oregon Ducks and at home in AT&T Park vs the USC Trojans.

Posted March 29, 2014
Arizona College Prep Academy applied for a Charter Transfer in 2012. The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools approved that application. At that time, the charter for Arizona College Prep Academy was transferred to a new non-profit corporation, Collaborative Pathways. Collaborative Pathways has a Board that is responsible solely for the operation of Arizona College Prep Academy. With the transfer, ACPA separated entirely from Amerischools and is no longer affiliated in any way with that organization or the schools it operates. In 2013, ACPA relocated to a new and permanent location, 3434 E. Broadway. The Collaborative Pathways Board and the Faculty and Administration of ACPA are looking forward to continuing our tradition of opportunity, achievement and empowerment for our students and alumni while continuing to innovate, motivate and provide a top-notch, theoretically sound curriculum to our students. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
As a grandparent and community member, I appreciate the dedication of the staff and all of the opportunities they provide on a daily basis to help each student progress and succeed. Students are challenged to think critically and search for their own voice. That is very important in this day and age when it is so easy for teenagers to be influenced by pop culture and the media. I support their efforts and feel strongly that their level of achievement, community partnerships and graduation rate speak to their reputation and continuing success.
I am an alum. My high school career began and ended with ACPA, and I understand that it can be a very tough environment at times. It is small, demanding and the teachers are very repetitive about certain material. But its small community, high expectations and repetition work well with students. Well, some students. Like any school, students have to find their way here. It is not a place where partying and dating is praised, and if students goof around they will be called out for it. You can't be anti-social or closed minded, and it's hard to be a student that just breezes by. What ACPA does so well is that the staff asks students to be responsible and excel, and they help you the entire way. As a college student now, I feel that the lessons I learned at ACPA prepared me to succeed. Students have access to internships, college programs, Ivy League alum and knowledgable teachers. Have you seen their resumes?... Have you compared them to most TUSD resumes? For a public, FREE high school, your child can receive an education that takes them somewhere. Yes, students are pushed and will have tensions at times, but I think it's better than being left alone. It worked for me. $46,000 grant
This school is driven to exceed at all costs. Even at the cost of your child's well-being. If your child is willing to put in 12 hours a day, ignore rest and fun so they can get a 4.25 GPA, they will love this school. Students are told to come in before school and work, to stay after and work and to work during lunch. I am not exaggerating. My son had to have surgery and missed 4 days of school. He was reprimanded for this. He was also marked down on his progress report, I kid you not, for not coming in BEFORE school in the morning to take advantage of study time offered by the school. He was told that he would never go to college because he liked to play basket ball during lunch. My son is an above average kid. He doesn't smoke or do drugs or play hours of video games. But more than one teacher has called him "an idiot" and he has been told numerous times he will never go to college. During History class they lectured a number of days on the evils of Disney movies, how they are racist and against women's rights. This school is ULTRA-LIBERAL! They will tell your kids what to believe and how to think. Faith is not encouraged. Not a good atmosphere. We are leaving.
Arizona College Prep Academy is an excellent school. Their dedication to educating my child is amazing. My son has and IEP and they work so diligently to keep him on track. I REALLY appreciate their efforts on his behalf!
ACPA has offered me a great environment in which to hone my craft as a teacher. Also, a wonderful professional team to push me. I love all of the clubs and activities we offer (music, robotics, knitting, frisbee, literary club, soccer, financial face-off, French club, are just a few). Our students amaze me every day. Our alumni are all over the country and world, and still very much active members of our Griffin community. Our results have been among the best in Tucson for well over a decade. Please check out our school if you are a student, or a parent of a student, serious about working towards college.
I am in 9th grade at Arizona College Prep, and I love it! The teachers are great; very helpful and knowledgable. Its very small, which keeps it as a warm, caring atmosphere, where everybody knows everyone else. The teaching is very individualized, tailored to each students needs, and the staff is willing to do almost anything to help you to understand. But not only do they teach us our necessary academic skills, they make sure we are prepared for life in and out of college, as more than just a scholar, as a person. I participate in Ultimate frisbee with Mr. Mendoza after school, and I really enjoy it. I am strongly looking forward to my remaining semester and 3 more years at this wonderful school!
Arizona College Prep is an amazing school. I have considered how to say how this school changes its students, and how many opportunities that the staff provides for these kids, but there is no other way to say it except what I think is true. An ACPA education does model college life, and at times, can be more challenging than college work. The teachers hold students to a higher standard than any other instructors I've met. Actually, they not only strongly encourage it, but they support students and help them find themselves. For kids who are open to everything available at this school, and driven enough to stick with studying, class work and extra activities, there are exceptional rewards. I am a graduate attending Smith College, with EXCELLENT scholarships because of my teachers at ACPA. To be honest, if I had gone to a different school I would still end up in a college. However, I would have never been awarded the aid I received, and I would not be attending Smith. That is only one success story that ACPA has helped create though. If you have the opportunity, ask the faculty about some of the awesome alumni. Ask about student life, what the teachers do and you'll see what I mean.
I am confused as to why there are reviews here from 2009 when the ACPA listed as "arizona college Pret Academy" just recently received their charter. They seem to be working the system renaming their school from Amerischool College Prep Academy with the same ACPA. to my knowledge they Amerischool....lost their charter and did public records show they did a poor job with their funding and even have many civial court cases to show this. Now with the same branding and the same people just switch funding and try again at the expense of the students. DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE
Lead by passionate educators who really "get" their student population, ACPA is changing the lives of high school students who need the intimate setting of a smaller setting to thrive. Each student is known by the teachers and accountable for their performace. Enrichment opportunities via community volunteer activities, internships and field trips allow the students to take their learning outside the classroom and put it into action. centrally-located, this school is along major bus routes and easy to get to with nearby amentities. Strong enthusiasm, positive feedback and graduates who prove the school is leaving a legacy in the lives of many.
my daughter has attended ACPA since the 2nd semester of her freshman year and she is now a senior. i gave her an opportunity to go to the school of her choice her freshman year and she chose sahuaro. i gave her one semester to prove to me that she would get good grades and she came home with 2 f's. i then enrolled her into a school of my choice and stumbled upon ACPA. im very happy i did. she has made such a huge improvement and now is about to graduate highschool but better yet, wants to attend college. she is now thinking about a future where education is important and i know that ACPA is a big part of that reason. The teachers, principal and even the front office lady are very open and easy to talk to. i have needed to talk to them on several occasions to voice any concerns i had and they were always open and willing to hear anthing i said. as a single mother, i appreciate that because i am glad that i have people on my side that care about my daughter and what she does with her life. i love the dress codes that they inforce, the classroom environments and even the lunch options that they have for my daughter. if you are considering to bring your child to ACPA, YOU SHOULD!
I've followed ACPA closely since its inception in 1998/1999. The teachers and staff have always adhered to the principle of offering the best education possible to every student in attendance. Their higher than average (95%) graduation rate for their seniors speaks to the efficacy of their teaching methods. The incredible, and personal synergy created by the caring teacher, and the student, prepares the young person far beyond a diploma. The student is helped to appreciate the life around them and how their part will help everyone around them. This grandfather has seen the effect of ACPA's educational leadership in their graduates years after their time in high school. The kids eyes have been opened to look at the world around them far differently than the usual public curriculum. Thank you ACPA!
I am currently a Student at ACPA and have attended it for three years. ACPA is truly a college Prep school preparing me not only for the academic challenges of going to college but for the social ways as well. With the small school environment each student gets a chance to achieve their personal best. Anyone looking for a College Prep experience should strongly consider ACPA. (Anyone not looking to go to college probably shouldn't)
Arizona College Prep Academy is an excellent school because it has the best staff and administration, the very best of the students, who want to show the world that everybody matters and everybody can make a difference in their communities and in their countries, with proper education and love and respect for each other.
I'm so pleased with the quality of the curriculum, and teachers at ACPA. The teacher involvement with the kids is simply outstanding. I would highly encourage any family desiring something a little bit extra for their children to consider this outstanding school. Thank you, ACPA!
From my experience at this school I have found that they, the staff, move slowly but thoroughly. They get you about 95-98% prepared for the AIMS and all the teachers work as a community. Their methodology for dividing the classes could use some work. The principal, who doesn't have to much time her hands, teaches the higher level English classes and the only problem I have with that is that MOST ALL of the assignments are highly subjective which is not conducive to a school environment, one of which was a study of the book called "The N word" where weeks were spent giving each other opinions about a document that quite honestly nobody in the class truly cared about. Personally, based on my observations, the school needs to teach the students to keep their opinions to themselves because by sharing an opinion you create conflict which does not make it easy to actually learn.
The school is basically a cult. If you dont conform to their way of thinking, youre an outcast. I left the school and succeeded much more than i did when i was there. The teachers want to brainwash you and not to think for yourself. Creativity and individuality are not welcome.
I spent all four years of my high school career at ACPA. As a student going into my junior year at the University of Arizona, and having designed my own interdisciplinary degree program, I can confidently say that ACPA was exactly what I needed to get my academic career on track. Thanks to the dedicated and academically diverse faculty at ACPA, I'm living a future I only once dreamed of. Parents, please strongly consider sending your kid to this school. You'd be doing a disservice to your child and to yourself by putting them in the failing TUSD system.
As a teacher recently retired from ACPA, I am thankful that my final years of classroom teaching were among teachers, staff, and administrators of such excellence. The opportunity to watch student's lives change through the efforts of a totally committed group of teachers was a real privilege. Wonders happen when the well-being of students is always first in the minds of teachers.
This was my first year at ACPA and I enjoyed it. When I first arrived I didn't want to be there at all. If your child is like me the teachers will do their best to get you to enjoy your time. If you don't like it they won't force you to like it. You face a rigorous yet manageable schedule. You face a feeling of community the moment you step into the building. The students help you figure out what to do. Scholarship time of the year was when I really started opening my eyes and seeing that TUSD was nothing compared to ACPA.
My son just graduated from High School. His performance went from a D - C Student to an A - B student. His attitude and behavior also changed for better and now he is ready for College. Thanks to the school and teachers efforts my son was able to accomplished this goal and now his future is brighter and better. Thanks Amerischools!!

Torres plans to see out contract
Fernando Torres hopes to fire Chelsea to Europa League glory and further trophies as part of an exciting young team.
The 29-year-old Spain striker has struggled to reach the heights he scaled at Liverpool prior to his £50million move to Stamford Bridge in January 2011.
Torres netted 81 goals in 142 games for Liverpool, but his confidence spiralled in a comparatively barren start to his Blues career, which has regularly seen suggestions Roman Abramovich is running out of patience with his biggest on-field investment and is prepared to cut his losses.
Yet the World Cup winner appears to be enjoying the Europa League, netting four times in the last three matches to help Chelsea to Thursday's semi-final first leg at Basle, and he envisages a long and successful spell in west London alongside the likes of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, David Luiz and Oscar.
``I have many things still to give to this club,'' Torres said. ``I have three more years contract so I'm expecting to stay at least three years.
``We won the Champions League last season. Hopefully we can win the Europa League this one. It is our priority as well as finishing in the top four.
``We want to go back to the Champions League next season and keep winning trophies.
``I think we have a great squad and a young squad to build on.
``We are sure that we are a great team and we want to show everyone. I would like to be involved.''
Torres is also thriving again - albeit in fits and starts - under Rafael Benitez, the man who took him from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool and now Chelsea's interim boss.
His compatriot's arrival coincided with seven goals in six games, but then Torres managed just one goal - against League One Brentford - prior to his strike against Steaua in the Europa League last 16.
``All of the team is enjoying this competition,'' said Torres, who has scored 12 of his 19 goals this season since Benitez's arrival.
``To be out of the Champions League was a very disappointing time for us but we changed our minds and started thinking about the Europa League.
``It is one of the most important targets for us this season.
``We are showing everyone who were talking about Chelsea not caring about the Europa League this it is not true.
``We are already in the semi-finals and we want to go through.
``The team is doing a really good performance so it is easy for the striker to score goals when the team is doing well.''
Basle head coach Murat Yakin is unfazed by facing Chelsea and has urged his players to achieve more in their remarkable Europa League campaign.
The former Switzerland international took charge in October with Basle struggling, but has masterminded a renaissance which sees his side tackling last season's Champions League winners in the Europa League semi-finals, having overcome Tottenham in the quarter-finals.
Now the target is the May 15 Amsterdam final.
Yakin said: ``I'm not a dreamer, I'm not dreaming. I'm very realistic. We're talking about reaching the final here.
``When I started we were in the very last spot in our group.
``From there I presented my vision that I had to the team and the vision that I had to maybe reach the final even in Amsterdam.
``The team grew in this competition, showed great performances, at home especially. It sets up a good advantage for the second leg then.
``We need one great game and maybe one okay game to maybe even make it to the final.
``It's a semi-final tomorrow. They can even achieve more.``

Washington, DC -
06/21/2012 - Jon Owens, policy manager for Pew's Campaign for America's Wilderness, issued the following statement praising Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) and Rep. Norm Dicks (D-WA) for introducing a measure to permanently safeguard more than 126,000 acres on Washington's Olympic Peninsula as wilderness and designate 19 rivers and tributaries as Wild and Scenic. "This bill is the product of collaboration and cooperation and comes after years of discussion about how best to ensure that some of the Olympic Peninsula will stay forever as it is today—keeping the water clear, the air clean, and the landscapes unspoiled. "Sen. Murray and Rep. Dicks deserve credit for listening to so many varied interests, addressing concerns, and finding common ground to protect the Peninsula's wild treasures. We urge Congress to quickly take up this conservation measure and send it to the president."Pew is a member of the Wild Olympics Campaign, a coalition of conservation, recreation, and sportsmen's groups that has worked for the past three years to raise awareness of and build community support for protecting the water, forests, and fish on the Peninsula.
