Did You Know? Countdown to Chanukah 2009 (11/30)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Chanukah
the Jewish Festival of Lights
Nov 30 : 11 days till Chanukah
Did you know that the eight-day holiday of Chanukah falls anytime between the middle of November and the beginning of January?
The date fluctuates because Chanukah is set according to the Jewish calendar, which is lunar-based. The holiday of Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev.
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Jewish people mark this eight-day holiday by lighting the menorah, an eight-branched candelabra, and eating foods fried in oil such as potato latkes and jelly donuts. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Chanukah.
Chanukah, Hanukkah, Hanaka — no matter how you spell it — the fun begins at sundown on Friday December 11th.

Hmmm,, New guys introduced!
Awesome, the begin of Doffy arc.
Very good
Hmmm,, New guys introduced!
Awesome, the begin of Doffy arc.
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
Maybe oda is just showing us the crew mentality here.
she must have been weak cuz none of her attacks did anything i mean the dude was speaking on the phone and she couldn't even touch him. So i'm not worried about her though her DF could be handy
i think the buffalo guy is more interesting
about chopper i think he went into that mode to stop the childeren.
he is just defending mode they are attacking him ,and he is just trying to keep them from going somewhere
i love the prediction for caribou
Momonosuke being the little dragon was one of my guesses the moment I first laid eyes on it,
though it rampaging after its head got cleared made me doubt that theory, seems like it might be the case after all.
Now this arc is really devellopping into a big one... Can't wait to see how the story wil devellop from this point on.
Perhaps Kinemon hates dragons because dragons are what are used by Ceaser to kidnap the children. We have been shown that the small dragons can lift heavy loads, why not give the children a lift to Punk Hazard? Kinemon must have saw Momonosuke be flown off on a dragon, which is why he hates dragons and how he found Punk Hazard, because he followed the dragon there.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
^Interesting theory actually.
On a side note, any one want to speculate the bounties Law and/or Doflamingo would plausibly recieve following this arc, assuming either or both of their titles are revoked following the quickly disintegrating condition of trust and reliability the WG can have in the Shichibukai? Also, this lends towards the theory myself, xioaxioa and a few others have about the Supernovas replacing the Shichibukai as one of the Three Great Powers or becoming the Fourth. Thoughts?

Didn't Ryuma (samurai from Wano country, whom Zoro defeated and gained his Shusui blade) slay a dragon? Maybe it's a part of samurai culture to hate dragons?
Don't Judge Me -.-
Or he could hate an entirely different type of Dragon.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Hyundai, Kia Must Provide More Answers to Senate About False MPG Claims
Tiffany Kaiser

Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach their customers by December 14, 2012
Hyundai Motors Co. and Kia Motors are both in hot water
over exaggerated estimated gas mileage claims
, and the senate wants answers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee who oversees auto issues, wants Hyundai and Kia to explain how it will reach and compensate its 900,000 customers after inflating its MPG claims.
So far, Hyundai and Kia have said they would reimburse customers and add a 15 percent premium by sending out debit cards that can be reloaded in the future. The automakers could spend over $100 million compensating for their exaggerations.
"While I believe this is a positive step, I am concerned that many affected customers may not learn about the program or may find it burdensome to participate in the program," said Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach these customers by December 14, 2012.
The Kia Soul got hit hard with the revised EPA ratings
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
Some of the MPG window stickers that will require a change include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.

Mel GibsonActor / Filmmaker
Born: 3 January 1956
Birthplace: Peekskill, New York
Best known as: The writer and director of The Passion of the Christ
A movie star and a controversial filmmaker, Mel Gibson got his start as an action hero in George Miller's Mad Max (1979), a low-budget thriller which cast him as a grim, leather-clad ex-cop in a barren Australian future. The film's bigger-budget sequel, The Road Warrior (1981), was also a bigger hit and Mel Gibson became an international star. His turn as a goofy rogue cop in 1987's Lethal Weapon cemented his status as Hollywood's leading blue-eyed action hero. He made three more films in the Lethal Weapon series (1989, 1992 and 1998) and starred in other big-budget action flicks like Air America (1990, with Robert Downey, Jr.) and The Patriot (2000, with Heath Ledger). Gibson also showed a thoughtful side, taking the lead in Hamlet (1990) and directing and starring in the sentimental drama The Man Without a Face (1993). In 1995 Mel Gibson directed, produced and starred as historical hero William Wallace in the swords-and-Scotsmen epic Braveheart, for which he took home Oscars for best director and best picture. His 2004 film about the last hours of Jesus, The Passion of the Christ (starring Jim Caviezel), was a surprise hit but stirred up controversy after critics accused it of anti-semitism. Gibson added fuel to such charges in July of 2006 when he went on an anti-Jewish tirade after being arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. He publicly apologized for his behavior and was fined and sentenced to three years probation. The episode drew to its conclusion just prior to the 2006 release of Apocalypto, a film set in the ancient Mayan culture that Gibson wrote, produced and directed. He returned to the screen in the 2010 thriller Edge of Darkness and the 2011 oddity The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster.
Extra credit:
Mel Gibson was born in New York and raised in Australia… A devout Catholic, Mel Gibson directed, co-wrote, co-produced and self-financed the $25 million The Passion of the Christ… He married the former Robyn Moore in Australia in 1980. They have seven children together: six sons and a daughter. The pair separated in 2006; Robyn filed for divorce in 2009, and the divorce was made final in 2011. Moore reportedly received half of Gibson's $850 million fortune in the divorce… The Road Warrior was followed by another sequel, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, in 1985… Mel Gibson played another historical figure, mutineer Fletcher Christian, in The Bounty (1984); Christian also has been played on-screen by Marlon Brando (Mutiny on the Bounty, 1962) and Clark Gable (Mutiny on the Bounty, 1935).

Coach Dave Chapman's assessment of the coming season is the Englewood High School boys basketball team will be building a program starting from scratch.
"All last year's varsity players graduated in June, I am a new coach," Chapman said. "This year, we don't have any tall players and all our guys have the skills to play guard so we will use a style of play that pushes the ball up the court quickly on offense and plays aggressive defense."
The team saw its first action against an opponent in the Nov. 20 scrimmage against Skyline, a team they are likely to see again as they open the season Dec. 5 on the road at the Skyline Tournament.
The first home game of the year will be Dec. 11 against Ridgeview Academy. Home games are triple headers with the freshman game starting at 4 p.m., the junior varsity game at 5:30 and the varsity tipoff about 7:15. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with school identification and a ticket is good for all three games.
Englewood's players know Chapman because he has been the assistant varsity coach and head JV coach for several years. Chapman was then selected to fill the head coaching vacancy when former head coach Stu Howard retired at the end of last school year.
"We knew this season would be a challenge with no returning varsity starters which meant we had to change the way we play basketball," the new coach said. "The last three years, Englewood had two big men in the middle and worked the ball into their post players. We don't have any tall players this season so we will use a system built around the strengths of our current players. We have pretty good quickness and the guys handle the ball well. So, we'll try to push the tempo, get up court quickly, looking for the high percentage shots."
He said the players have been enthusiastic and have worked hard. Chapman has the Pirates play a shortened eight-game summer season and 25 players turned out for the practices and the games. That helped players get used to the style of play they will use when the season starts in December.
The coach said he does have some experienced players like Jared Lick, team captain, did see playing time in some games toward the end of last season and Tucker Horan who practices with the varsity last season but was sidelined most of the year with an ankle injury. The coach said Isiah Mestas, a move-in from Bear Creek, who is a point guard and will also help the team. He said it still is basically a young team with at least a couple sophomores on varsity and other JV players may move up from time to time to fill out the varsity roster.
"Our strength will be pushing the ball on offense and playing solid defense," the coach said. "We are playing zone right now but are working on playing man-to-man and putting on a half-court press to try to force turnovers."
The coach said the league schedule is basically and unknown.
"This is a new league and we'll be playing most of these teams for the first time and know little about them," Chapman said. "However, I expect Elizabeth will be strong. Elizabeth looked good last season and they were strong when we played them this summer."
Team captain Jared Lick said basketball is his game. He said he doesn't play any other sport and his focus year around is basketball.
"My strength is crashing the boards," he said. "I hustle, get position and get the rebounds. I also can shoot pretty well from outside plus a lot of my points come from getting the offensive rebound and scoring on the put-back."
He said he likes the new coach and knows him because Chapman coached him last season.
He said he knows this is a different system but he said he and his teammates are learning how to make it work smoothly.
"I know that I will be the post player this season even though I am not all that tall," he said. "But I have no personal goals for scoring or rebounding this season and my focus all year will be doing all I can to help out team win games."

Jurij (Yuri) Shumakov Flies
Terry's Favourite LR Variant
Terry's Favourite LR Variant one of the series of 15 Low Water Tube Flies presented by, Yuri Shumakov. You can see more of Yuri's flies at The Flies of Jurij (Yuri) Shumakov. See his notes about this fly below.
YURI'S NOTES: Most of these flies are tied in Shrimp style with the use of short half-inch metal tubes. These patterns were tested by author and a group of experienced anglers who helped me to develop and prove this light style flies under 3 years period in salmon rivers of Iceland, Ireland, Kola and Kamchatka Peninsulas (Russia), Norway and Scotland. I am very thankful to Irish anglers Terrence Dunlop and Peter McIlwaine, Scottish professional fly tier Philip Glendenning, English angler Alec Smith, French angler Jean-Jacques Orzan, Swedish angler P Aleljung, Italian anglers Franco Sirtori, Marco Cipriani and Vittorio Spasciani. Without their help it would be impossible to visit and to test so many flies in so many rivers!
These flies can be an alternative to flies tied on double and treble hooks and employed not only under summer conditions, but winter ones too. Flies have showed very good results for Atlantic salmon and sea trout, as well as for Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden.

My ds is almost 11 months old and has never ridden in a stroller and now absolutely refuses to. Since we live in Turkey, it began as a matter of safety and ease to use the sling, then baby carriers for the bazzar and general going out. However, now he's getting bigger and taller and it's becomming more and more difficult for me to haul him around in the baby carrier everywhere. We've tried the stroller several times but he has always had absolute meltdowns - to the extent that strangers have asked if we needed help! We have to come up with a solution as I am planning to travel to the US with him alone this summer and there is no way I can do it without using a stroller. Any suggestions?
No announcement yet.

Keep offering, let him play with it at home, get him more used to the idea.
I bet he really, really, felt safe close to you in the sling. There must be a fear he is feeling about the transition, about the stroller. Have you thought of another type of baby carrier such as an Ergo or Becco? Would you be able to purchase or borrow different kinds of strollers to see if it YOURS specifically? Have you tried putting him in it at different times of the day, when he was already in a good, curious mood, or when he is sleepy or fussy?
Fill me in!
Thanks... Oh Turkey, I have dreamed of Turkey!

I second the suggestion of trying another type of carrier. Something that goes over both shoulders like a Mei Tai. I think they are so much more comfortable.
I have a great carrier that keeps him right on the hip. It's very comfortable and he loves it. That's not the issue. The thing is sometimes I just need him to ride in the stroller because I do everything on foot and things like shopping at the bazzar are really getting tough to do with him on one him and 20 pounds of vegetables on the other. I will try letting him play with it in the house and see if that helps him become more familiar with it. Well look into some other styles too - the one we have is my sister-in-laws and it's a big Chico, maybe he needs something smaller. It's very very crowded here and the Turks love babies and always stop and talk to him everywhere we go- it's a wonderful culture that way- at first I though it was maybe just too many people comming at him, but we've tried when there were no people anywhere but mom and dad and he still freaked out. You're definately right, something scares him about being alone down in the stroller as opposed to close to me. I just wish I could help him get thorugh it. Everytime we go out I see babies all content and happy in their strollers and I'm developing intense stroller envy! He's a stubborn little Turk but there has to be a way!!!
I do have to confess, the first time I read a post that mentioned a Mei Tai - it was something in response to a baby that didn't sleep I think- I thought someone was suggesting that she have a drink before nursing! I though - my, now that's one apporach! Needless to say I now know what it is - but I had to google it. We don't have them here, acutally we're not much beyond the '70's as far as baby goods go.

I have pushed a stroller around at times and have just kept my junk in it and wore my baby on my back. It might seem silly at first (to have a stroller and be carrying the baby) but that means all the carrots, potatoes and diaper bag can be pushed in the stroller. That also might be a way to transition him.
I really must insist that an non-hip carrier would be better in a bazaar situation as you mention his weight being a concern. A back carrier such as a Ergo or becco are REALLY worth the investment. I wore my son's through airports in them because it was just too difficult with all the people and escalators etc....
I am partial to the Ergo because I have one....
It just might be the friendliness of the Turkish people at the bazaar that he is not happy about. I bet he feels safer closer to you. In America where people might keep their distance more, I bet you won't have a problem.
I find that using a Beco or Ergo helps so much. I can still wear my 3.5 yr old on my back quite comfortably. When he is on my back, I have my hands completely free, as well as my hips if I need to prop something heavier on my hips. I hardly feel the weight of my child.
I've seen some strollers that face towards you rather than out and I think they sit higher up then something like an umbrella stroller. Facing outward and looking at everyone towering over you is probably pretty intimidating especially in a big crowd. But I'm also a fan of wearing baby in a carrier and pushing an empty stroller, in fact I do this on a dail basis since I don't have a car so it works great for hauling groceries home. My son is 8 months now and never really liked the stroller either but is slowly warming up to it, I still always carry my ergo along with me just in case he gets fussy.
Trying a different kind of carrier is a great idea, and I wanted to add that it could be easier on you if you share the burden with your husband when not breastfeeding. I'm sure he wouldn't mind carrying or wearing your son half the time, and it would probably be much easier on you to do the carrying only half the time instead of all the time.
I frequently wear DS while using a stroller for my gear/shopping.
In fact, when we go to the zoo, we have a small umbrella stroller in which I stack my bag, lunchbag, and camera bag. Then kiddo goes on my hip or front. For shopping, I use a back carry, as he's two and it's just a lot more comfy. It's just harder for him to see when he's in a back carry in the Ergo, so we do things differently at the zoo.

United States Approaches to Trademark Protection in Cyberspace
Douglas J. Sylvester
Arizona State University - College of Law
Jurisprudencija (Lithuania), Vol. 5, pp. 20-28, 2006
The rise of the internet and electronic commerce has transformed United States trademark law in significant ways. The technological and structural choices that created the internet spawned online trademark uses that challenged traditional legal doctrines governing the power of trademark owners to control the uses of their marks. The result of these challenges has been the rapid expansion of prior doctrines to apply to these new issues, with somewhat dubious reasoning, and the creation of new causes of action to protect trademark owners' interests. Although the final impact of the internet has yet to be felt, some basic conclusions may be drawn: (i) courts and regulators in the United States have rapidly expanded trademark owners' rights; (ii) the pace of technological change will continue to challenge existing laws and interpretations; and (iii) United States legal decision makers should be mindful of the possible future effects of the doctrines they espouse. In this essay, I focus on two areas: (i) cybersquatting and dilution; and (ii) metatagging, keywords, and initial interest confusion. Although these two areas provide only a taste of the legal issues raised by online trademark usage, they capture the basic approach that lawmakers have taken in the face of technological challenge - protect trademark owners' interests.

Keep Calm and Carry On
Thomas Drance
March 03 2011 11:17AM
It has been a busy week in Canuckistan. On Sunday, the team hosted super-skills, and a curious twitter controversy erupted over media independence; on Monday – Gillis acquired reinforcements just before the deadline; on Tuesday – ghastly superimposed ads appeared behind the glass – sending fans into paroxysms of general annoyance. Ironically, the least exciting part of last week was Tuesday nights game...
Tuesday Night Doldrums:
The Canucks beat the Blue Jackets in the eighth round of the shootout on Tuesday night. Suffice it to say: I haven't been that bored since the time I had to read Hume's treatise: Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Perhaps I'm over-reacting, but I'd suggest that Tuesdays performance was the worst team game the Canucks have played since the 7-1 shellacking at the hands of the hated Blackhawks back in November. It's not so much that the team was bad – Luongo turned in one of his best performances of the season – it was that their play was lethargic, sloppy and painful to watch. From an entertainment standpoint, it wasn't just the teams worst game since November, it might have been their least entertaining game since 2007 - the year that Spengler Cup participants Byron Ritchie and Brad Isbister got regular power-play time. It was #battleofOnterrible quality hockey. Let's just agree – if an unusual "illegal stick" is a games most indelible moment, then that game irredeemably sucked.
Don't Panic:
The Canucks lost every meaningful hustle stat: they were outhit, they were below 50% in the circle, they turned the puck-over 11 times, they had 20 shots blocked, and they gave up 1 clear, and 3 partial breakaways. The teams performance of late has undeniably been frustrating – but the teams recent 5-5-0 swoon isn't cause for panic – at least not yet. As Jason Botchford points out, it's not unusual for eventual champions to sag down the stretch. Though that's a comforting thought, it doesn't make these recent games any easier to watch!
Weekly Forecast:
We can expect to see tonight's game have a similar feel to Tuesdays snoozer. Nashville - like Columbus - is a desperate, offensively limited unit who will try to slow the pace and grind out an ugly win. It would be nice to see the Canucks really take it to the inferior Predators – if only to give Shea Weber an extra moments pause before he decides to extend in Nashville after the season – but I don't think it will happen. My strategy for this evening: close my eyes and think of the upcoming back-to-back in California this weekend. The Canucks usually come to play against the Ducks and the Kings, and we can only hope that matching up with these two familiar antagonists will wake the team from their current slumber. Anaheim-Vancouver is a reliably chippy, energetic and closely contested game; and the Kings are 2-0-0 against the Canucks in the season series, so one would hope the Canucks would be motivated to make a statement.
Murph v. Charron:
I am concerned about the evolution of Canucks coverage on Rogers Sportsnet. If you were following Twitter on Sunday, Canucks blogger @camcharron was skeptical of @sportsnetmurph's participation in Canucks Super Skills and criticized the Sportsnet in-game host/beat-reporter/sideline reporter for interacting in this manner with the club. Cam's criticism lead to a twitter dust up between the two. I tend to be sympathetic to Mr. Charron's argument in this case – journalistic independence isn't a switch one can flip on and off, it's a rigorous standard that needs to be applied in a constant, narrow manner. It's admirable that Murph gave up an afternoon to support a charitable organization – but if he wants his point of view to be trusted by fans, it's probably inappropriate for him to be involved in a Canucks event like he was on Sunday.
The New Eye-Sore:
Cam Cole wrote a controversial column recently about the hubris of a Canadian market team like the Canucks taking their fans for granted – in it he described the organization as, "in demand [and] out of touch." He was complaining specifically about the team not making players available to the media during a road game in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. I'd argue that the superimposed ads on the glass that made their first appearance during Tuesday night's Sportsnet broadcast are another example of this type of hubris.
An NHL game is already cluttered with branded space – on the ice, along the boards, lining the upper-deck – do we really need to add more obtrusive visual clutter to a Canucks broadcast? I've long hated the over the top proliferation of branded-space from an aesthetic perspective (indeed, I'm among a small minority of fans who'd far prefer to see tasteful adds on jerseys than on the ice surface). Needless to say: I wasn't happy about the new superimposed ads. The ads themselves changed throughout the game, they were often ugly and they distracted from the game. Trevor Presiloski had some good arguments in support of the ads. It's reasonable for the team to experiment with new ways of generating ad revenue – but, these ads went too far and diminished my enjoyment of the broadcast.
In this case, the team can't have their cake and eat it too. Either "We are all Canucks" and the team is an important part of the community with an agenda that extends beyond simply making money, or it's a cold-blooded business enterprise. Of course it's the latter - we all know this - but the team likes to brand itself as something more, something collective, an 'altruistic' staple of the community. Superimposing obtrusive adds on the glass behind the goalies diminishes the visual quality of watching a game on television. It prioritizes the bottom line over fans enjoyment of the product, and though, in perspective – it isn't the biggest deal in the world; surely we can all agree that the ads are an unwelcome eye-sore. They're an annoyance on par with silent pop-up windows. As someone who already pays for NHL League Pass in order to watch Canucks hockey – I'm not happy to see the team moving towards squeezing out every last dollar, from every last inch of unbranded space within the arena. As @mozy19 wondered yesterday – where does it end? I get the economics of the issue, but the Canucks are a well-oiled revenue generating machine, and these new ads are, to put it simply: excessive, ugly and unnecessary.

Sewer Line Construction May Disrupt Traffic
The City of Yakima is advising drivers to avoid a section of North 16th Avenue.
Traffic on N. 16th Avenue between Fruitvale Boulevard and River Road may be interrupted while construction crews put a new sewer line in.
Crews will be working from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through Friday, however, one lane in both directions will remain open.
Access to businesses in the area will be maintained and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the construction area if necessary.


text: In 1886, Russell visited Belle-Ile, a small island in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Brittany, to study the effects and subtleties of colour. Russell and Monet painted there together during the summer and a local fisherman, Père Polyte, became Monet's porter and a model for both artists. In Mon ami Polite Russell depicted Polyte as a man of dignity and character.

Two elementary charter schools that focus on teaching foreign languages gained conditional approval June 18 to open their doors in Douglas County.
The World Compass Academy, negotiating now for property in Castle Rock, plans to open for the 2014-15 school year. Global Village Academy, seeking land in northeast Douglas County for its fifth Colorado site, would follow a year later.
The Douglas County School Board gave both conditional approval, and the schools still must meet several requirements — including enrollment of a minimum number of students and hiring principals — before getting a final nod.
World Compass and Global Village were among six charters that submitted letters of intent to DCSD in March. The others — including John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts School and Colorado Early Colleges high school — chose not to move forward this year or failed to meet district criteria, according to DCSD's development and innovation officer, Pat McGraw.
Students at Global Village Academy, which opened in Aurora in 2007, spend at least half of each day immersed in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French or German. Global Village opened a Northglenn campus two years ago, and this fall will open schools in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.
Douglas County was a natural choice for its fifth campus, CEO Christina Howe said.
"We have had up to 55 students coming from Parker to our Aurora campus and there have been multiple-year requests to please open a school in Douglas County," she said. "We do consider ourselves part of the portfolio of school choice the district is offering."
Howe said typical language programs teach students to "train and menu" proficiency levels, giving them enough mastery to travel by train or order from a menu in a foreign country. By eighth grade, Howe said, Global Village students' foreign language skills are equivalent to a first-year high school student in the language's native country.
Global Village seeks land along the Interstate 25 corridor, likely on its east side.
World Compass Academy, founded by a former Douglas County teacher, will include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish and a research-based curriculum its website describes as challenging.
Bethany Merkling taught at a charter school in Utah and at DCSD's American Academy. Now a stay-at-home mom, Merkling said she found long waiting lists at area charter schools.
"I wanted to make sure (my kids) had the opportunity to have the best education they possibly could, and to be able to learn a foreign language in kindergarten," Merkling said. "I studied in France, and I've got some really strong ideas. I want to take the best from all the schools I attended."
World Compass board members include natives of Switzerland, Hong Kong and Thailand among others, bringing the international viewpoints Merkling sees as key to the school's success.
The school will serve pre-K through fourth grades upon its opening, adding a grade level annually to eventually become a K-8 school. To date, more than 200 parents have submitted intent-to-enroll forms for World Compass, Merkling said.
