2nd Annual Community Cider is Ready
Just in time for the Holidays!
Honey Moon Mead & Cider is pleased to announce the release of our 2016 Bellingham
Extra CiderHead, the delicious result of a community-focused project that aims to capture the essence of Bellingham in a bottle. Now in its second year, this unique and uniquely local hard cider blend is made from apples grown all over our fair city, quite literally in our own backyards.
This year's vintage contains dozens of different varieties of apples, including Spartan, Snow,
Melrose, King, Akane, Gravenstein and Jonagold, as well as many mystery varieties from wild or heirloom trees.
Favorable growing conditions this year produced a bumper crop of tree fruit, and local
residents with "extra" apples on their hands have been eager to participate in the project. During the harvest season the folks at Honey Moon collected more than 12,000 pounds of local fruit that would otherwise have gone unused. Contributors received vouchers for a portion of the finished cider.
"We were overwhelmed by the response," says Murphy Evans, Honey Moon's owner and
the driving force behind the project. "People were dropping off buckets and boxes full of apples at our shop, and the phone was ringing off the hook for our crew to come and harvest trees. It's been really fantastic."
Six tons of apples yielded about 1000 gallons of juice, all of it pressed at Honey Moon's
facility in downtown Bellingham, which is bursting at the seams at this time of year. Evans
worked with a local machinist to design and build a custom press expressly for the purpose.
"The press was designed to be mobile, so we could roll it onto the patio where we have
more room to work. The added bonus was that folks could watch the press in action, and even toss a few of their own apples into the hopper if they wanted to. It made the community connection that much stronger."
The final product has been carefully tended to produce a one-of-a-kind cider that reflects
the climate, terroir and spirit of Bellingham in 2016. To celebrate its release, Honey Moon will
be throwing a party on Saturday, November 26. There will be tours, tastings and special apple themed treats from 5:00-8:00, with music by Bilongo Quintet starting at 8:30. Vouchers can be redeemed at Honey Moon any time.
The 2016 Bellingham Extra CiderHead will be available in bottles and on tap at Honey
Moon as well as area stores and restaurants while supplies last. As a way of giving back to the community that helped make it possible, Honey Moon will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Bellingham Public Schools Foundation.
For more information, visit ciderhead.com or contact Honey Moon at 360-734-0728.

I am always looking for new interpretations of ancient edged tools. It fascinates me to watch how people try to build a better mousetrap. Sometimes the results are good, like the Viscerator skinning/butchering knife, but usually the resulting tool is a Rube Goldbergesque monstrosity (the 10-in-1 $14 Whetstone camping tool comes to mind) that fails to perform more than the most rudimentary of functions.
Enter the KLAX. Well, kind of. It isn't in production yet. Still a prototype, the KLAX will come in 4 varieties if they can get their Kickstarter campaign off the ground. They plan on offering it in slightly varied configurations including a titanium version (I question the utility and edge holding ability of a titanium axe), as well as a stripped down "Feller" version that does not have as many "multitool features".
I have seldom come across a tool that purports to "do everything" that does a particularly good job of anything. But I have so much respect for the creative dreamers out there. It takes a great deal of courage to put it all on the line and try to sell your dream to others. One of you will change the world.

Big data and services were hot topics at Esri UC
July 17th, 2013 by Susan Smith
Big data and services to manage big data were among the hot topics of Esri UC 2013. Companies that provided these opportunities were in large part Esri partners.
As a result of the cloud and mobile/location intelligence, we can now ingest data that previously required an enormous amount of effort to be made usable. The question still remains as to who is qualified to access the data, but data now breaks out of its previous stagnancy with the growth of technology potential.
Who can use GIS now? Just about everyone.
Although the federal government was not well represented at the conference because of steep cutbacks, the products and services showcased catered to the federal, state and local governments, with disaster response, emergency preparedness, intelligence and other related fields. There is not a geospatial company out there that doesn't tailor their application/server platform to that market.
Some of the companies visited that fall within these categories include:
DigitalGlobe Premium Services
DigitalGlobe Premium Services: DigitalGlobe's Global Basemap, FirstLook, and Multispectral Premium Services can now be seamlessly integrated into the workflow of ArcGIS users, allowing them to access the most current imagery and information available directly from the source. They are three premium services under the ArcGIS Online Information Services. These services allow organizations to acquire content as a service through one vehicle and put data into workflows. DigitalGlobe is running the cloud and integrating with ArcGIS Online.
ArcGIS base maps and World Imagery are free to ArcGIS Online users. DigitalGlobe Premium address all that "free" doesn't provide. Pricing depends upon how much area to access and how many users. There is also a different content strategy for each global-pre-programmed user and costs are customizable to projects.
Features of the three Premium Services are outlined in DigitalGlobe's blog post:
The Global Basemap Premium Service provides some of the best available natural color and panchromatic imagery. This imagery is available as a cached tile service with vast coverage of the U.S. and Canada. This service will be regularly updated to reflect new, high quality imagery from DigitalGlobe.
The FirstLook Premium Service is a disaster and crisis monitoring service populated with imagery when a qualifying event occurs, such as a natural disaster, manmade crisis, political instability, or human interest occurrence. Through this service, users have access to near real-time post-event imagery as well as pre-event imagery for comparison.
The Multispectral Premium Service offers access to rich, full resolution multispectral content through an ArcGIS Online interface running on a highly scalable cloud architecture. The service and the content it hosts can be tailored to the client's specific project needs. Users who require highly detailed imagery for image analytics, geodatabase updates, and surface change analysis can work with DigitalGlobe experts to maximize the value of the subscription.
TerraGo Vision Platform
TerraGo has been emerging from an intense period of investment in new technologies, and have more than doubled investment in R&D. They have introduced new products across the whole product line. In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the intelligence community, is the umbrella company of TerraGo. About a year ago TerraGo acquired Geosemble a sister In-Q-Tel company. Geosemble's product lines such as GeoXRay, MacStrata have been integrated into the TerraGo portfolio.
TerraGo launched some years ago with their groundbreaking GeoPDF products, which attributes geospatial information to PDFs. They released GeoPDF v 6 last fall. They released 3D composer 18 months ago, a product that allows people to start with an image and do draping for GeoINT.
From that initial launch, the company has expanded into offering a number of other solutions, namely and most recently the release of TerraGo Vision Platform. Because the most valuable location intelligence data is gleaned from internal and external Big Data sources, a platform designed for mission-critical information that can be seamlessly integrated and then delivered to decision makers, analysts, field and mobile workers is more valuable than previously used centralized data stores. Vision Platform allows organizations to build powerful geospatial solutions for situational awareness and improve decision making and response times.
TerraGo's largest customers are the NGA, Army, DHS, and USGS.
Esri Publisher for ArcGIS has 1,000 customers around the world. TerraGo added GeoForms to it, extending the feature data inside ArcGIS, and made it available for mobile. The company also released additional capabilities around 3D GeoPDF with the goal of getting actionable intelligence to someone at the edge who might be disconnected from the internet.
Terrago Mobile was re-architected to be geared toward the Android and iPhone and to take high resolution imagery to the field.
GeoXray automates unstructured data discovery (funded through In-Q-tel) analysis, and geospatial vizualization. It is useful for "edge users," decision makers, and analysts.
Custom Enterprise Solutions are server based solutions for data discovery, integration and delivery.
Being able to discover location intelligence is a big problem. Moreover, the massive information available from disparate data sources needs to be intelligently filtered by place, time and topic, then it needs to be seamlessly delivered.
Terrago Vision is driven by core customers who are mostly doing crisis response and intelligence:
1. Army AGC index
2. NGA eIndex
4. IHS Jane's Imagery Watch
TerraGo Vision Platform is all about deploying and creating intelligence on the fly. "We can query all information that exists within that box, GeoTIFFs, and could have it converted on the fly, and can make this platform do what you want," said TerraGo CEO Rick Cobb. "USGS quads tie in to ArcGIS Services and lots of web services, touching them all live, and they could be any services. That's discovery and visualization. Once you have all this data organized, you may want to give it to somebody."
If you need imagery, Esri ArcGIS imagery allows users create their own data on demand. Terrago Vision isn't a product – it's a collection of APIs and developer tools, and application services. ArcGIS Server is in the background, and is where geocontent comes from. The services come from the internet, and other data can come from any system TerraGo attaches to.
ITT Exelis
Laurie Jordan Esri, director of Imagery, talked about their long time relationship with ITT Exelis, a top business partner. Esri has 2800 business partners. With Exelis Esri has seamless integration. "The meaning of platform has changed in a positive way," said Jordan. "We positioned ArcGIS to inseminate imagery and to take imagery and turn it into useful information. This platform is now moving from just a desktop mobile and server, and cloud and focusing on this term Cloud based GIS. With the move to cloud the definition of platform has changed. The platform is an ecosystem of relationships of everything you can do with it. Through this platform we'll be offering services, and it will be the new home for services and content including analytics – tools from ENVI are at the top of the list."
"Exelis adopted our services architecture early on," said Jordan. "Imagery and GIS were separate in the early days. Now imagery is core to GIS and is foundation to GIS. Every single area of GIS comes from imagery. You are attending the world's largest imagery conference."
The desktop is going to ingest Esri Image Services, take the same workflow and do that on a web browser that's fully cloud enabled, but presents to the user just with a browser. The data doesn't exist on the desktop, it exists on the cloud and is rich in Landsat data, and displays all data that is just in one geographic area of interest. You just get data, display it in catalog view, do change detection and run it.
In an example showing the city of Dubai, "As a GIS analyst I want to update some of my maps, ask for change detection, a difference from the years 2000 to 2010. Exelis ENVI for ArcGIS gets the data it needs from those time periods. ENVI is running a workflow together, radiometrically normalizes it, does thresholding and does a cleanup, that takes about a minute. While it's running, you can see that between those years, the Palms were built in Dubai and you can create a map using the already integrated ArcMap and imagery."
The workflows can be presented on the desktop, in the web and on mobile on the cloud. This way people less familiar with the desktop can access the information.

Another movie from Romania's new wave of young directors, Corneliu Porumboiu's satire on the revolution, "12:08 East of Bucharest" (A Fost Sau N-A Fost?) took a special prize for outstanding artistic contribution for its three leading actors Mircea Andreescu, Teodor Corban and Ion Sapdaru.An audience award -- selected by viewers from the more than 16,000 people who attended the more than 100 films shown during the five-day festival -- went to Kyrgyz director Nurbek Egen for "The Wedding Chest" (Sunduk Predkov).Matthias Platzeck, prime minister for the local federal Brandenburg region, pledged continued financial support for next year's Cottbus film festival and said he would "fight for future support", adding that the region -- part of the former East Germany -- was considered a gateway to Eastern Europe.

Finer Than Wealth
By Steve Goodier
I love the story about an angel who suddenly appears at a faculty
meeting and tells the dean of the college that, in return for his
unselfish and exemplary behavior, he will be given his choice of
infinite wealth, wisdom or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean
selects infinite wisdom.
"Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a
bolt of lightning.
Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a
faint halo of light. At length, one of his colleagues whispers," Say something wise."
The dean looks at them and says, "I should have taken the money."
Though wealth is highly regarded in our world, I rather suspect
this fictitious academic made the better choice. Wisdom, like
many other virtues, is usually more difficult to obtain and can
be far more satisfying.
I've heard it said that when our hearts are empty, we collect
"things." On the other hand, when our hearts are full, we tend to
lose interest in most of the "stuff" of life. The "things of the
heart" become all important. Things like love and joy and peace.
Or wisdom. Or hope. Or faith.
And the wonderful truth is that these gifts are given freely to any who will take them! None of us has to live without love. There really is joy to be found in this life. And we can know peace - now.
Fra Giovanni gave us these immortal words in 1513:
"No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future that is not hidden in his present moment. Take peace! The gloom of this world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within reach, is joy. There is a radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see, and to see we have only to look. I beseech you to look. Life is so generous a giver...."
You have already been offered things even finer than infinite wealth. Will you grasp them and make them yours - today?

Kay the gardener came back in to visit us today!
Can you remember her last visit to us back in September?
She helped us to plant some onions in the school garden!
Well today we got to uproot our onions as they are fully grown!
The stalks were very tall!
Kay showed us how to uproot the onions and pull them out of the earth.
When the onions came out they had very long roots!
We all had a turn pulling out some onions.
What a fun morning!!!!

In Greek mythology, Triton was a demigod of the sea, who could alter the fate of seaward travelers and change the face of continents by unleashing the incredible power of the sea at will.
Triton Industries took its name from the Greek mythological figure to present its innovative industrial strength vacuum system — and to help the most forward thinking customers recognize the possibility for changing the face of an industry dominated by high cost and inefficient systems.
Triton's concept is a simple one — to create a cost-effective industrial vacuum system, which is safe, compact, easy to operate, and powerful enough to effectively perform in the most demanding industrial settings, particularly petrochemical, marine barge and offshore environments.
In August of 1997 Michael H. James incorporated more than 20 years of his experience in industrial plants and pioneered the first Triton vacuum system. Today they are used by customers all around the globe in a wide variety of applications.
Triton's vacuum systems use motors and pumps as powerful as any known in the vacuum business, yet an innovative filtration system allows all that power to be compressed into a fraction of the system footprint and weight of conventional vacuum trucks. This innovation has also made the process safer and the operation more straightforward, allowing customers to easily operate the equipment without special certifications. Customer personnel can learn to operate the system in less than 10 minutes.
It is a big idea in a small package, an idea that's made a big splash in the industrial vacuum industry. Triton systems have replaced the need for expensive and cumbersome industrial vacuum truck operations. In the past, many projects required expensive 18-wheeler rigs and crews of 2 or more licensed and trained third-party personnel to operate ... as well as a lot of space for the truck to maneuver. Customers who use Triton system report a cost savings of 40-60% against their total vacuum bill.
Triton Industries has also dedicated ourselves to providing a high level of customer service — offering a combination of quality products, responsive service and innovative product development.
Michael James also invented and patented the Kraken vacuum fed, positive displacement system ... which is also named from Greek mythology, and is used in several demanding applications.
In 2010, Triton Industries received national attention for the role its equipment played in helping clean up the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Triton's vacuum systems were perfect for placing on shallow water barges due to their lighter weight and smaller size. As a result, Triton received a number of regional and national awards for its efforts.

Consider any complete bipartite graph $K_{p,q}$. Express the number of edges in $K_{p,q}^C$, the complement of $K_{p,q}$, as a function of $n$, the total number of verticies.
Now, I know that I could do this by subtracting the number of edges in $K_{p,q}$ by the number of edges in $K_n$, a complete graph with $n$ vertices. However, I do not see how it is possible to determine the number of edges in $K_{p,q}$ merely as a function of $n$ because I need to know how many verticies are on each side of the graph in order to determine this. For instance, $K_{1,3}$ and $K_{2,2}$ both have 4 verticies, however, the former one has 3 edges whereas the latter has 4 edges because $$ The~number ~of ~edges ~in ~a ~complete ~bipartite ~graph~ K_{p,q} = pq$$
So I'm not sure that this can really be expressed solely as a function of $n$

MICHAEL McCarthy
Favorite Part of Job? Helping people discover that they can save money and do something great for to make their world a healthier, safer place with renewable energy.
Most Inspiring Mentor: My mother has taught me that you can be kind and strong. She works harder than anyone I have ever seen and gets so much joy out of serving others.
Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: I spent three years in California singing and playing guitar in Los Angeles instead of going to medical school.
Favorite Vermont Escape: I love heading out to Hathaway Point at Kilcare park where St. Albans Bay meets the open part of Lake Champlain. It's beautiful and holds many great memories.
Favorite Downtime Activity: I love playing guitar and writing songs.
Favorite Super Hero: I'm a big fan of Batman. He uses tech, hard work and his ingenuity, not some miraculous event to get his powers.
Favorite Social Media: I'm on Facebook way too much, along with my wife and daughter.
Person you would like to share a Vermont beverage with: I'd like to sit down with Elon Musk and talk about changing the way we use and create energy over some Hill Farmstead.
What is the best career advice you have received? Don't be afraid to suggest "crazy" ideas or ask "stupid" questions. I've solved a lot of tough problems that way!
Where do you see yourself professionally in ten years? I'd like to continue to be innovating in the energy sector, not only deploying renewables but helping people transform their relationship with the energy they use.
Career Highlights: At one point my team learned that many of the projects we'd been working on were not going to be permitted. It was a huge blow with a year's effort down the tubes. We didn't quit. We shifted gears, got to work on profitable projects with a bunch of businesses, and transformed a key part of our company in the process.
Community Involvement: I've been proud to represent St. Albans in the Vermont House and Chair the St. Albans Downtown Board. I play guitar about twice a month for our band at St. Paul's United Methodist. I've been a frequent member of board and Circles of Support and Accountability at the St. Albans Restorative Justice Center. Our community has achieved a huge revitalization in the past few years, and I have loved being a part of it.

With as many as 15% of Americans suffering from dental anxiety, the last thing we want you to feel is alone.
Dental anxiety is a very real condition that causes millions of people each year to avoid the dentist. That can have a detrimental effect on your oral health.
While technology and techniques have improved to make procedures less painful than ever before, we understand dental anxiety is still a big issue for many people.
At the office of Mark W. Wilhelm, DMD, MSD, in Woodbury, MN, we offer several options for our patients in need of comfort.
Don't let dental anxiety stand in your way of a healthier mouth, we can help!
Do You Have Dental Anxiety?
You don't have to be thrilled to visit the dentist, but you shouldn't be terrified. If you're truly scared to get your teeth cleaned, you could be suffering from dental anxiety. While specific symptoms vary from person to person, the most common symptoms include:
- Tension or trouble sleeping the night before a visit to the dentist.
- You get more nervous the longer you're in the waiting room.
- You feel upset when you think about going to the dentist.
- When you see dental tools or staff at the dentist office, you become more anxious.
- Just the thought of going to the dentist makes you feel sick.
- You feel panicked or have a hard time breathing when tools are placed near or in your mouth during a cleaning.
If you experience any of the above symptoms or similar, related symptoms, don't hesitate to talk to us about it. At our Woodbury, MN dentist office, we offer several solutions for patients with dental anxiety.
Managing Dental Anxiety In The Dentist Office
At the office of Mark W. Wilhelm, DMD, MSD, we can help you conquer your dental anxiety. Oral health is an essential part of your overall health. We want to make sure you're able to take care of your teeth and gums with as little discomfort as possible.
We offer the following options for patients with dental anxiety:
- Pillows and blankets to help you be more comfortable in the dental chair.
- We offer music and videos to help distract you and keep your mind off your treatment.
- The following sedation options are also available if you and your dentist agree it's necessary:
- Nitrous oxide – A mild form of sedation that can help you relax. You will likely feel drowsy but you will still be awake. Nitrous oxide wears off soon after your appointment so you can drive yourself home.
- Oral sedation – Ranges from mild to moderate sedation. You will have to come to our office an hour before your appointment to take the pill. You will feel like you're about to fall asleep or you might fall asleep but you'll still be able to follow directions. Because oral sedation takes several hours to wear off after your appointment, you'll need a ride home.
- IV sedation – This type of sedation is adjustable throughout the process, based on how much sedation is needed. You will be asleep and will need some time afterward to recover. You'll need a ride home if you use IV sedation.
- General anesthesia – The strongest sedation we offer. You will be completely asleep and it will take a little while for you to wake up after the procedure is over. You'll need several additional hours before you feel normal again, so you'll definitely need a ride home.
Don't Let Dental Anxiety Stand In Your Way Of Good Health
At the office of Mark W. Wilhelm, DMD, MSD, we regularly see patients with dental anxiety. We strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible while we take care of your teeth. Don't let your fears keep you away any longer. Call (651) 319-9064 to schedule an appointment. You can also visit our website to find out more information or to schedule an appointment online.

The recent tragic bombings at the Boston Marathon were another incident that required the services of highly trained police dogs to do a sweep of the streets and sniff out any other potential bombs. It's amazing how well these dogs are trained to perform tasks that can save our lives. Along with the police, fire department, and all the other security people that help to protect and rescue those people in need, let's not forget those elite canines that also risk their lives protecting us.
On the other side of the country in California this past week, police dogs were showcased at the Family Pet Expo. I always enjoy watching the demonstrations to see how the dogs are trained to apprehend and subdue suspects. You certainly don't want to tangle with these doggies. Equally impressive is how they are able to sniff out weapons or drugs. At the expo, a sort of obstacle course is setup with various items that are potentially hiding what the dogs are trained to find. The dogs are led through the course and when their noses detect the scent, they immediately sit up at attention.
While our pet dogs provide us with much happiness every day, let's not forget those canines that help to protect us from crime and other disasters.

A career in financial services industry is both challenging and rewarding. But what, exactly, does a financial analyst do every day? Depending on the level of experience of the analyst, these daily tasks can different considerably. Investment analysts provide fund managers, stockbrokers and traders with the information they need to make decisions including providing financial information, advice, and recommendations taken from relevant investment data.
Junior Investment Analyst
A younger or junior analyst will tend to do a lot of data gathering, financial modeling, and updating and maintaining spreadsheets; the more senior analysts tend to spend their time developing investment theses, meeting with management teams and other co-opting with investors.
Essentially a junior investment analyst is tasked with researching, collecting and analyzing information which in turn helps the most senior members of the investment team to make profitable decisions on behalf of their clients.
Senior Investment Analyst
More often than not, top analysts handle multiple projects and usually specialize in a particular industry segment, geographical area or class of investment. Emily Muhleman is a Senior Investment Analyst who has over five years experience on the buy side and three years as a research analyst.
When asked to list some of the tasks Senior Investment analysts perform, Emily share this list.
- Research the global investment climate and identify low-risk, high growth potential market opportunities
- Meet with company management teams, other analysts and attend conferences to identify attractive candidates
- Write investor letters describing the market about our fund's performance, discussing the current outlook on a macro scale and how we intend to reposition the portfolio
- Extensive fundamental, bottom-up equity and credit analysis to evaluate a company's prospects relative to the market's view
- Maintain up-to-date on all events in financial markets with emphasis on central banks and monetary policies
For Emily it is important that she pursue a strategy of absolute returns that emphasizes concentrated, contrarian or value-oriented equity positions and special situations.
Generally speaking, a day in the life of a junior or senior analyst can be very hectic and labor intensive. Nevertheless, the reward is a challenging and likely financially rewarding career.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: Oz The Great and Powerful
By N Mark Castro
Most everyone of you have been intrigued by my decision to suspend my political strategy involvement and have been curious as to the reason for my digital silence as well, especially at a time when burning issues affect the region, including the upcoming presidential elections in Indonesia. Some have even sent me an email demanding that I post on certain issues that affected the Philippines and Indonesia, two of my most entertaining source of socio-political and communications idiocies.
By socio-political and communications idiocies I don't mean that the countries mentioned have elected and appointed politicians that are idiots.
Just most of them.
And every journalist or writer, or political strategists have asked me of my opinion on those public officials who have been caught lying about their ill-gotten wealth and corrupt practices and large-scale theft from the national treasuries of both countries, I simply reply that they shouldn't deprive those villages — from which these elected and appointed politicians come — their resident idiots.
And I would go on about my new focus.
But if you thought that this new "baby" I am so thrilled with had something to do with the wonderful story of The Wizard of Oz …
Then allow me to disabuse you of that notion … although certain parallelisms can be inferred.
But, for now, let's focus instead on the Other Side of Oz and how when I clicked my shoes I suddenly found myself on what could be your modern-day hot air balloon.
No … that's not me … you'll have to lower your expectations than that.
This is me.

SEATTLE — The man from Baghdad showed up unannounced this month in a state office building in Salem, Ore., with a piece of paper in his hand that he said was worth $6.4 million. He politely asked that his name be kept quiet, then told state officials that he had set up a local bank account into which they should deposit money annually. And then he went away, richer and more mysterious than when he arrived.
It was not an ordinary day at the Oregon Lottery.
The story started with small details, lottery officials said, and became bigger from there: The man was 37, an Iraqi Kurd. He had recently arrived in the United States from his home in Baghdad, and he said in fine English that he had won the Oregon Megabucks lottery drawing in late August by possessing the six correct numbers — without ever having visited the state.
The ticket, lottery officials learned, had been bought through thelotter.com, a company based in the island nation of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, but had been printed out in a little deli on the outskirts of Bend, Ore., called Binky's.
Lottery officials' jaws dropped. Then they picked up the phone, calling the Department of Justice and Interpol. Was the man who he said he was, a successful businessman who had bought his ticket online? Was he on any kind of watch list? And how on earth would a lottery ticket from Binky's, of all places, end up in the possession of a man from halfway around the world?
But there was more: Despite Oregon laws that make lottery winners' names public, the man wanted anonymity. His life, and the lives of members of his family, he said, could be put in danger back home if his new net worth became known.
He told lottery officials that he had set up a bank account in Oregon where he wanted the first of 25 annual payments of $158,720 to be deposited, and that he intended to give the money to his two sons.
Thelotter.com arranges lottery ticket sales from around the world to buyers from all corners. It boasts of having "official tickets for all the world's biggest lotteries" — including Powerball in the United States and EuroMillions in France — as well as "100 percent commission-free wins."
Sean J. Riddell, a lawyer for thelotter.com, said the Oregon Lottery winner was still in the United States, but declined a request for an interview. Nor, Mr. Riddell said, would the man comment on his work or other details of his life in Iraq, or how he had acquired his visa to come to the United States.
The Oregon Lottery's director, Jack Roberts, said that an investigation was continuing into whether international lottery ticket sales are entirely legal — he said he had his doubts — but that the winner had done nothing wrong as far as anyone could determine. Everything checked out, Mr. Roberts said, most crucially the six winning numbers on the ticket.
So the check was cut. Mr. Roberts said "yes" to anonymity, as well, although he added that a court could overrule him if the decision was challenged.
"I didn't want to be responsible if one of his kids gets kidnapped," Mr. Roberts said. "It's my decision that the need for his safety outweighs the public's need to know."
Foreign residents have played and won American state lotteries before. A group of Australians won $27.6 million in the Virginia Lottery in 1992. But that was before Internet commerce or online gambling existed in any widespread form.
In 2012, two foreign residents won prizes through tickets in United States lotteries bought through thelotter.com, the company said, although those prizes were much smaller than the one claimed by the Iraqi man: $1.25 million between the two winners.
Lottery laws are in many cases decades old and less than clear, legal experts said. Although a few states have experimented with online lottery sales, federal law makes it illegal to sell lottery tickets across state lines unless allowed by both states. Gambling online, with the exception of bets on horse racing, is legal only in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.
But in cases like this, in which the lottery ticket was bought over the counter, not through the Internet, the uncertainty runs deeper still.
"I think thelotter.com is at best in a gray area of legality," said Keith C. Miller, who teaches gambling law at Drake University in Des Moines.
Another prominent gambling expert, I. Nelson Rose, a professor of law at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa, Calif., went firmly the other way.
"I think it probably was 100 percent legal," he said, referring to the Oregon transaction.
Thelotter.com said in an email that it made no wagers itself, or transferred any lottery tickets by mail or Internet, but that it instead provided what it called "a messenger service," using people who walk into shops like Binky's and plunk money on the counter. On its website, the company says that it makes its money in transaction fees for the ticket purchases and that it collects no percentage of winnings.
"We physically purchase the official tickets through our reliable and secure local offices located in more than 25 countries and make a scanned copy available to the players' secure personal accounts, which confirms their ownership," the company said in an email. "When a player wins, he is entitled to claim the prize in person."
Actual lottery tickets, the company added, are "never owned by us but only kept in a secured location on behalf of the customer until he claims his prize." The company said it had "handed over winning tickets" valued at more than $35 million.
In Oregon, it was up to Mr. Riddell to provide proof that the local chain of custody of the winning ticket was unbroken from its purchase in August until the winner's arrival, just in case any questions arose. He dispatched a private investigator to Bend to make sure. Finally, the ticket went into a bank safe deposit box.
Back at Binky's, a $64,000 check arrived out of the blue, a 1 percent bonus from the Oregon Lottery for having sold a winning ticket.
Judie Bell-Putas, 80, who owns the shop with her son — with a grandson behind the counter helping out with soup and sandwiches — said that she had no idea who bought the ticket in August on behalf of the company in Malta, and that she did not much care.
"We're going to be using it to take care of the stuff we really need, and keep things going," Ms. Bell-Putas said.

DUMAS - Cactus fire chief Raul Ceniceros stood watching at Northlawn Memorial Gardens as first local firefighters, and then members of the close-knit Cactus community formed a winding line to shake hands and hug the family of Elias Jaquez.
"He was a great man," Ceniceros said. "He was ready for anything that came his way. He was always there to help us out."
And they were there Monday to honor the memory and the dangerous duty of the Cactus volunteer firefighter, who died Wednesday at the Lubbock Burn Center from injuries while battling a blaze April 9 in Moore County.
"It's amazing," said Ceniceros of the outpouring. "It's really left me speechless."
Nearly 30 Texas Panhandle towns brought firetrucks to the funeral Mass. But they also came from Frisco and Haltom City in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Six men from the U.S. Forest Service drove their light green vehicles from California.
Sam Williams, a volunteer firefighter from Eastland, 50 miles west of Abilene, was there. He and three others left at 4 p.m. on Easter and drove 412 miles one way to be part of the honor guard. It was the small town of Eastland that also lost a volunteer firefighter. Greg Simmons was buried Wednesday after fires in that part of the state, the same day that Jaquez, 49, died.
"It's a tough thing to describe - this bond, this brotherhood," Williams said. "It's like a family."
Tod Mayfield was there to represent the 100 Club chapter of Amarillo. The Amarillo attorney presented a $10,000 check to Josephine, Jaquez's widow. The club provides immediate financial assistance to any law enforcement or firefighter from the 26 counties of the Panhandle who dies in the line of duty.
"Our mission," Mayfield said, "is to give back to those who serve and protect us."
The line of mourners stretched nearly four miles along Maddox Avenue with heads bowed, caps removed or hands over their hearts. More than 200 students and school staff, including a half-dozen cafeteria cooks, stood at attention outside Dumas Junior High School. Fifty stood quietly at First Presbyterian church, seven at Temple Baptist Church.
Pockets of people stood intermittently as the funeral processional steadily moved through Dumas. Two women, hands over their hearts, stood next to a van in front of Cowlicks Salon.
"What if there were a fire and no one came?" Williams said. "What if something happened to my family and no one came? That driving force is about service to your fellow man and your community."
Jaquez's community of Cactus was there, too. Almost 400 filled Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in neighboring Dumas. They were working-class people, many in jeans, boots and Western-trim shirts. These were the fabric of a community that Jaquez served, a place the native of Mexico had called home the last two years.
"It's not too hard to lay down your life for your friends, but to lay down your life for anyone is pretty special," Jim Clements, deacon at Sts. Peter and Paul, said during a Mass mostly celebrated in Spanish. "Really, that's the life Elias lived as a firefighter. When the call came for help, he didn't ask who it was, where it was, if it was a neighbor of friend, he just went.
"That's a lesson for all of us. This is the thing Christ asked us to do - to love one another as I have loved you. That kind of love is a love without question, a love of sacrifice and a love that sometimes causes us to give all like Christ did on the cross."
At the grave site, prior to John Brewer playing "Taps" on a bugle and "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes, Steve Barrera of the Amarillo Fire Department's Honor Guard, recited the Fireman's Prayer, which was translated into Spanish:
"When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage, give me the strength to save some life, whatever be its age.
"Help me to embrace a little child before it's too late, or some older person from the horror of that fate.
"Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout, and quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.
"I want to fill my calling and give the best in me, to guard my neighbor and protect his property.
"And if according to your will, I have to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife."

Lasting Memories
Orland Silva
March 31, 1941-May 11, 2012
Pleasanton, California
Orland Michael Silva, long-time resident of Pleasanton, passed away on May 11, 2012 at the age of 71. He was in his home with his wife and children at his side. Orland was born in Albany and raised in Rodeo, California. Upon graduating from John Swett High School, he went to work for PG&E and retired 33 years later. He then went on to work for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory for 10 years. His love was for Bible Study Fellowship, where he could study and teach about his Lord, Jesus Christ. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 50 years, Paula; his children and their spouses: Pam & Josh Shinnick, Kathy & Andy Eelsing, Tim & Dawn Silva, Jennifer & Danny Sweeney and Mary & Angelo Scavone; as well as 15 grandchildren: Tyler, Jacob, Abby, Jason, Ryan, Brennan, Amy, Hannah, Faith, Tessie, Tommy, Travis, Mady, Mitchell and Leah. He enjoyed his family, the Forty Niners, Granada High Football and playing his saxophone. Many will remember him as ?Papa?. His warm smile and loving spirit will be missed.
I am so grateful to God for the gift of Orland! His confidence in God's love and his unconditional way of sharing his faith is a huge part of my walk with Christ. He is and was a great example! My sincere and heart-felt condolences go out to each and every one of the family members! Thank you for sharing Papa with me!
Although we lived in different states our fond memories never wavered. We were fellow musicians, friends and in each others' weddings. We both have large families. The entire Tacconi Family sends its prayers for the loss of a beautiful man.
To the Silva Family - I am sorry for your loss. Orland's infectious smile put everyone at ease all the time. I have fond memories of CCD classes at the Silva house. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Many hugs to you- Julie
Kim and family, I am so sorry for your loss of your wonderful father. We will be praying for you all.
To the Silva Family - I am so sorry for your loss. Orland's legacy of love & family lives on in his beautiful children and grandchildren. We send our love and prayers to you all.
What a precious, loveable, sweet and wonderful man Orland was. We will never forget his beautiful face and spirit. We send love and prayers to Paula and all of their family. Hope to see you all soon, Love, Bonnie and Fred
Papa is the patriarch of one of the most wonderful families we know. Anyone who met him, his wife, children, their spouses, & grandchildren has a worthy example of what family and love of God is all about. He led his family in love for both; his presence among all of us will truly be missed. Aloha Oe'; until we meet again.
Orland was a devoted husband and father. He & Paula raised their children with love and faith. We see this in their daughter, Mary, who is our wonderful daughter-in-law. Thank you, Orland, "see you later".

Fin de siècle
The story doing the rounds is that a wealthy art collector visited the Paris home of the Irish photographer Kevin Abosch last year and saw this 162 x 162 cm print of a potato hanging on the wall and inquired about buying it. Abosch said the price was non-negotiable: €1,000,000. The buyer bought the photo.
Back in 2013, The Potato Diggers by Paul Henry was sold in London for €400,000, a record price at auction for the artist. Henry was born in Belfast and studied in Paris at the Académie Julian and at Whistler's studio at the end of the 19th century.
"It is easy to think of potatoes, and fortunately for men who have not much money it is easy to think of them with a certain safety. Potatoes are one of the last things to disappear, in times of war, which is probably why they should not be forgotten in times of peace." — M.F.K. Fisher, How to Cook a Wolf

Remember way back in olden times -- say, four or five days ago -- when "Blade Runner 2049" was a well-reviewed, can't-miss hit that was going to shatter "Gravity"'s record for October debuts ($55.8 million) and was certain to net as much as $60 million in its first three days?
And yet, when all that beautifully styled futuristic smoke and mist cleared, the Ryan Gosling-Harrison Ford sci-fi sequel premiered with about half what was expected, just an estimated $31.5 million. That was still far and away enough to end the two-week reign of "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" atop the box office chart, but for a much-hyped, $155 million would-be blockbuster that was supposed to be the tentpole of Warner Bros.' fall schedule, that's a disastrous figure. At this rate, "Blade Runner 2049" will be lucky to earn back two-thirds of its budget in North American theaters.
If it's any consolation, the weekend's No. 2 movie, "The Mountain Between Us," underperformed as well, opening with an estimated $10.1 million against expectations in the mid-teens. Kiddie cartoon "My Little Pony: The Movie" did open slightly above expectations, but with a take of just an estimated $8.8 million and a debut in fourth place, it has nothing to write home about either.
What went wrong this weekend? Here are some factors.
1. Drawing Power
It doesn't matter how much you loved Gosling in "The Notebook" or "La La Land" or those funny memes from a few years back. You don't buy tickets to his movies based on his name alone. (This holds true for Ford, too, despite the enduring nostalgia value of sci-fi and adventure hits he made decades ago.) Supporting player Jared Leto has about 10 times the social media fanbase that Gosling does; then again, he doesn't sell tickets either. That $31.5 million that "Blade Runner 2049" earned this weekend is almost exactly the amount that the average Gosling movie has earned over its entire North American release. So kudos to the heartthrob for earning his biggest opening ever with "Blade Runner," but the $19.1 million debut of his "Crazy, Stupid Love" six years ago wasn't that high a bar to clear.
Speaking of heartthrobs, if anyone thought Idris Elba was going to be strong counter-programming to the testosterone-heavy "Blade Runner," and that he and Kate Winslet were going to draw women to see "The Mountain Between Us," they were mistaken. The Internet may swoon for Elba, but he's not a big box office draw either, as he proved two months ago with "The Dark Tower." Nor is Winslet; last time she had a lead role in a movie that opened as well as "Mountain" was six years ago with "Contagion." Online fandom and residual goodwill from past blockbusters are nice things for a star to be able to claim, but they don't necessarily translate into ticket sales.
2. It's Been a While
It's been an awfully long time since 1982, when Ford's original "Blade Runner" came out. It's not impossible for a sequel to follow its predecessor by 30 years and still be a hit, as "Mad Max: Fury Road" proved. But 35 years may be stretching it. Besides, the original "Blade Runner" wasn't a hit. It became a cult favorite over the past three decades, thanks to home video and multiple revised cuts being re-released into theaters. Still, that cult may not have extended beyond a hardcore audience of sci-fi fans and film buffs who appreciated its influence on later futuristic sci-fi films. So it's not like there was a huge audience eager to see the sequel to a movie that they've never watched, either because they were too young (or not born yet) or not interested enough 35 years ago.
3. Lost the Plot
The marketing campaign for the new "Blade Runner" was deliberately mysterious, meant to avoid revealing plot spoilers of any kind. That approach seems to have backfired, confusing the majority of viewers who didn't know the original's plot and characters that well to begin with. (Heck, even ardent "Blade Runner" fans may have been confused, given all the ambiguity stirred up by as many as seven different cuts of the original film.)
Not that you can't go too far in the other direction. There was no mystery at all as to the plotting and characters of "Mountain," but since the trailers promised the sort of survival-in-the-wilderness drama that's easily grasped from a 30-second ad, the overly familiar premise may have doomed "Mountain" among viewers who felt they'd been there, seen that.
And even kids may have felt "Pony" was too familiar, since they can see it for free on TV. The only real novelty was that the characters were voiced by celebrities their parents knew, not the TV actors whose voices kids would have expected to hear coming straight out of the horses' mouths. As "The LEGO Ninjago Movie" proved last month, repurposing a readily-available kid-TV property for the movies, but with new voice actors, is a recipe for failure.
The buzz. "2049" rode a wave of hype in the form of ecstatic reviews from critics (all of whom you can bet saw and appreciated the original), resulting in a strong 89 percent fresh score at Rotten Tomatoes. Paying customers seemed to like it just as much, giving it an A- grade at CinemaScore. Nonetheless, there were dissenters who found the movie overly long (it's 2 hours and 43 minutes), confusingly plotted, and slowly paced. As with the first "Blade Runner," everyone seemed to admire the movie's extravagant visuals, but as they say of Broadway musicals, no one goes home humming the sets.
Curiously, "Mountain" and "Pony" also earned A- grades at CinemaScore from satisfied customers, even though both earned mixed-to-poor reviews from critics (46 percent fresh at RT for "Mountain," 58 percent for "Pony"). To the extent that both movies were courting older ticket buyers who still read reviews -- adults craving grown-up drama for "Mountain," parents of small children for "Pony" -- the weak critical response to those films couldn't have helped. The high CinemaScore grades for all three movies among theatergoers don't mean much if you can't get them into the theater in the first place.
4. The Marketplace
And that's been the problem with the slumping box office since at least July.
The only offering in recent months that's really inspired people to leave their living rooms and buy movie tickets is "IT." (In its fifth weekend, the horror smash is still holding up impressively well, finishing third with an estimated $9.7 million and crossing the $300 million mark in total domestic sales.) There hasn't been a lot lately to draw viewers to the multiplex, especially young viewers. (This is the 10th straight weekend that the top-grossing film has been rated R, discouraging moviegoers under 17.)
Last weekend's total box office take was about $90.8 million, making it one of the lowest-grossing weekends of the year so far. This weekend's total wasn't much better, at an estimated $99.7 million. Despite some enormous blockbusters earlier this year, including "Beauty and the Beast" and "Wonder Woman," total grosses for the year are about 5 percent below where they were at this time in 2016.
The simple answer would seem to be "Make more crowd-pleasing movies." But all three of this weekend's wide releases were crowd-pleasers, so that's clearly not enough. Every movie, even one as rapturously reviewed as "Blade Runner 2049," has both strengths and liabilities, and your marketers can't just ignore those liabilities or wish them away.
Stranded on a mountain after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must work together to endure the extreme elements of the remote, snow-covered terrain.

This past week, Vavi Toran, our Arts and Culture Specialist hosted an Integration of the Arts in Jewish Education program in collaboration with CJM and an exhibiting artist at the museum.
When she introduced herself, the program and Jewish LearningWorks, she mentioned that last year we started the Integration of the Arts Initiative the room broke into spontaneous applause!
This day of learning had three parts that interconnected and intersected seamlessly, thanks to an excellent collaboration in envisioning and implementing between the CJM educational staff, the artist and myself.
The first part, led by CJM educators Fraidy Aber and Janine Okmim, drew upon an exhibit that sparked the idea for this workshop. Educators engaged in Havruta text study from books' passages used by the collaborating artists and visual text study of the resulting exhibition.
The second part, led by artist Ascha Drake, introduced participants to her installation "In The Studio" (an inspiration for a "Maker's lab") and several of her integration projects with other disciplines in a school environment. She is also an art teacher at Bay School, and author of several books.
The third part led by me brought us back to Havruta text study. Taking into account that the next Jewish holiday on the calendar is Purim, I chose 2 verses from the book of Esther. Participants engaged in text study, identified a "big idea" for Purim and translated it into a collaborative art work. It was, in a way, a small example of how to approach anew any Jewish theme that we revisit year after year, and how to interpret big ideas in a creative way.
Participants were very engaged, sharing insights and ideas, collaborating with either their colleagues or someone we matched them up with. Many beautiful and thoughtful art works were produced based on the learning of the day.
This is one example of the way we work behind the scenes to support our community of educators.

Game-changing call to college football: playoff
WASHINGTON — Tackling an issue sure to rouse sports fans, lawmakers pressed college football officials Friday to switch the Bowl Championship Series to a playoff, with one Texas Republican likening the current system to communism and joking it should be labeled "BS," not "BCS."
John Swofford, the coordinator of the BCS, rejected the idea of switching to a playoff, telling a House panel that it would threaten the existence of celebrated bowl games.
Sponsorships and TV revenue that now go to bowl games would instead be spent on playoff games, "meaning that it will be very difficult for any bowl, including the current BCS bowls, which are among the oldest and most established in the game's history, to survive," Swofford said.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a game a national championship unless it's the outcome of a playoff, bluntly warned Swofford: "If we don't see some action in the next two months, on a voluntary switch to a playoff system, then you will see this bill move."
After the hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee, Swofford told reporters: "Any time Congress speaks, you take it seriously."
Yet it is unclear whether lawmakers will try to legislate how college football picks its No. 1 before the first kickoff of the fall season. Congress is grappling with a crowded agenda of budgets, health care overhaul and climate change, and though President Barack Obama favors a playoff, he hasn't made it a legislative priority.
College football's multimillion-dollar television contract also could be an obstacle.
The BCS's new four-year deal with ESPN, worth $125 million per year, begins with the 2011 bowl games. That deal was negotiated using the current BCS format. While ESPN has said it would not stand in the way if the BCS wanted to change, the new deal allows the BCS to put off making major changes until the 2014 season.

'After Mostly: A Story of Downsizing' is a riches-to-rags story that was prompted by the outcome of the Brexit Referendum. The book takes the form of a series of drawings with captions, which are linked together to form a narrative. The drawings derive from paintings made over the course of Richard Sorrell's career. These are invented figurative paintings, or pictures of people doing things. They may show innocent scenes like people walking through a nature reserve or going to a house warming party. When adapted for the story, however, they are given a more forlorn meaning, and trace a gradual decline from a state of privileged comfort to the loss of everything, which seems to echo Voltaire's Candide where each downward step was seen as ' all for the best in the best of all possible worlds'.
To see the book, please click the link.
'After Mostly, a story of downsizing' is priced at £7.99, and may be purchased from Richard Sorrell. Please email or call (or write).

Here's what happened when Noel Gallagher joined Gary Neville as a pundit for the Manchester Derby
Noel Gallagher has amused viewers with his appearance as a pundit on the recent Manchester football derby. Check out footage and photos below.
Gallagher, a lifelong Man City fan who last month made headlines by watching a match with fellow fan and Manc music legend Johnny Marr, made his appearance on Sky Sports at the weekend.
Before the match, Neville revealed Noel's appearance with a joke tweet aimed at his brother Liam. After Liam tweeted "MCFC in the fucking area LG x", Neville responded with "I thought we booked Noel". Liam later replied with "him and Gary Neville pair of wankers. I like carra though".
Then to the game itself, when fans took to Twitter to voice their amusement as cameras caught Noel's ecstatic reaction to Manchester City's 2-1 victory, before he took the opportunity to once again have a dig at Gary Neville, when he provided commentary alongside Graeme Souness.
"It's great to be sat beside a legend of the game (points to Souness)… and Gary Neville," he said.
Gallagher and Neville has met on several occasions previously. Once, Noel took the opportunity to sign a guitar with a burning put-down.
"Dear Gary," he wrote. "How many caps have you got for England? How many of them do you think you have deserved? Fuckin' none! Lots of love, Noel Gallagher x"
Meanwhile, last week saw Gallagher team up with Gorillaz and Graham Coxon on stage in London, as well as signing up for a 'secret' Twitter account to respond to fans.
'Who Built The Moon' is out now.

We are are headed right into the holiday season but there is no need to worry or get your tinsel in a tangle. Regardless of what you are celebrating if you are anything like me you want to make a statement when you arrive. A piece of the "what do I wear?" puzzle is your ensuring that your shoes are on point. I've rounded up a few of my favorite pairs for this holiday season. With a quick glance you may notice that all of my picks are pointed toes shoes. As I've mentioned previously sassy pointed-toe shoes flatter every woman's body, whether you have a petite figure or a curvier shape. The savvy sharp toe extends the line of your leg and provides the appearance of leaner, longer legs.
You may even have similar oldie but goodies in your closet that simply have been out of rotation for a season. Either way I hope this "tinsel toe" round up assists you with putting your best foot forward this holiday season!
1.) Ghillie flats are having a moment and I've selected a pair from Top shop. The "Leather Kiss" Pointy Toe Ghillie Flat are a mid price range shoe coming in at $100.
2.) The Ivanka Trump "Ellis" over the knee boot, are my pick for versatility as they can be dressed up or down with your favorite LBD or denim. Psst these are on sale at Nordstrom, you are welcome!
3.) These "rustic strappy suede sandals" by Nine West are the epitome of fancy dancing shoes that basically announce the party has arrived.
4.) The "Torino Pump" by Tory Burch is the transitional party shoe. The heel height creates a shoe that is appropriate from nine to five and beyond.
5.) Number five in the round up are the "Sloan Glitter D'orsay flats". I adore the mini bow details and the sparkling touches on this feminine flat.
Which pair is your favorite?

Third Grade Guarantee
Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee directs schools to identify students in kindergarten through third grade, who are not on track based on grade level reading assessments. It ensures every struggling reader gets the support he or she needs to be able to learn and achieve.
How it Works: All students in grades K-3 must be given a reading assessment to identify them as on track or not on track for reading progress. For those students identified as not on track, schools must provide additional reading services or interventions. Students receiving additional reading interventions will be placed on a reading improvement plan that will address each student's unique reading problems.
Advancing to Fourth Grade: Students must meet a minimum score on the state reading test to move on to fourth grade. In 2016-2017 the minimum score for advancement is 44 on the Ohio AIR Reading Test. This score must be attained either in the Fall or Spring administration of the state reading test.
If the student remains in the third grade, the school must provide a high-performing reading teacher and 90 minutes of reading instruction each school day. A student can still take fourth grade classes in all other subjects, if the student is ready. Schools can move students to the fourth grade in the middle of the year, if the student's reading improves.
How it Helps: Studies and data have shown that students who remained in third grade and received intensive reading instruction, improved dramatically in overall school performance in years following.

Even babies know that wage theft stinks! That's why my son Daniel is asking you to join him in the fight against wage theft by sponsoring the Faith and Labor Picnic.
Daniel has been counting up our Faith and Labor Picnic sponsorships, and he tells me that we're over halfway to our goal of $6,250 in sponsorships. But he needs your help to make sure we meet our goal!
Here are just a few ways that your sponsorship will stop stinky wage theft:
- making possible our new campaign for a Shelby County wage theft ordinance. When it's passed, workers will have a simple way to recover their stolen wages from employers.
- supporting our Workers' Center, which has used community pressure to recover over $71,000 in stolen wages in the last four years.
- educating workers about their rights to fair pay and ways they can prevent wage theft.
