Since UP Academy took over the Gavin Middle School in South Boston in 2011, some critics of charter schools have questioned whether the academy has been pushing out disruptive or academically struggling pupils in order to boost its test scores.
During the inaugural year of the in-district charter school, 19 percent of its pupils, 109 to be precise, left UP Academy. But that rate is slightly lower than the average for all the city's middle schools, according to data compiled by the Boston School Department to dispel the notion that UP Academy is pushing out the worst pupils.
The agreement presented by the BPS & Unlocking Potential to the community was supposed to include "ALL Gavin School Students!" The BPS did not "reserve spots" at UP Academy for Vietnamese SIS students so what school did these students land at? Do we wait and see what school takes a dip into underperforming? The multi-handicapped students "remained in the building" in a newly created "district run" program! The names of these handi-capped kids are rumored to have satellited and appear on the Murphy School roll! Is this true? When we see the Murphy School MCAS scores plummet and they are targeted as under-performing we will know why!
Also, it is not the building that gets the test scores that define if a school is "quality," it is the students taking the test. UP Academy was allowed to draw students "citywide" and the Boston Public Schools is required by state law to pay their transportation! If UP Academy saw any improvement over the Gavin School this year, is it because last year they heavily recruited 5th grade Advance Work Class (AWC) students citywide to attend UP Academy in September? Nothing will bring up AYP scores faster than AWC students and small class sizes! Note if the AYP scores of the traditional schools with AWC classes, those children would have attended, went down. What is the breakdown of neighborhoods that UP Academy students are coming from?
Let me pose this, if the Gavin School did not have the Vietnamese SEI students, and the multi-handicapped students, would it have been underperforming enough for UP Academy to take over? UP touts a high sped population but what are the SPED designations? There is a big difference between a multi-handicapped student or .4 LAB student and a Resource Room student who needs a little individual help in math or English. Then there is UP's Out-of-School suspension rate, first year 38%! How many days can a parent afford to take off work? The BPS is only 5%! When that came to light UP instituted "in-house suspension!""
Finally, how much is the BPS paying "Unlocking Potential," the "education management organization" (EMO) to "manage" Up Academy in South Boston? BPS plans on paying Unlocking Potential Dot $500,000. for 1 school! Is it the same for UP Academy in Southie? One million dollars to manage 2 public schools is an awful lot of bake sales!
Students left UP Academy at a rate similar to that of other middle schools in the city. Were new students enrolled in grades 6-8 to replace those who left? In typical city schools, an equivalent number of new students enroll, including in 8th grade, and those students frequently are more difficult to educate. Does UP Academy take many of the students who left other regular public schools because of disciplinary problems? In a number of cities across the country, KIPP schools have been faulted for exactly this scenario (and they refute the charges bitterly - but the data tell the true story.
The true issue here is the high percentage of our Middle Schools that are underperforming yet Carol Johnson's administration along with the Mayor has no plan of action other than subcontracting the schools. The Up Academy has so few students from the neighborhood it serves. The money spent on transportation and the Student Management contract is not a fiscally responsible way to spend what amounts to approximatly 1 Billion of Our tax dollars. All Up Academy has done for South Boston is continue to help the enrollment of Boston College High School.
Is Unlocking Potential's business model to sell itself as a "mini Latin"? What is its operating budget compared to these other schools? Are its teachers members of BTU?
Perhaps ALL of BPS should be part of Unlocking Potential school program; otherwise the BPS has any number of school programs (see varied Charter School programs and sources and operationals)..... Very difficult for one scant pool of overseers (the Boston School Committee) and the Superintendent to effectively manage such a plethora of operation matters----too many cooks. And, regardless, anything near 20% departure rate among middle school is.... completely unacceptable.
This shell game of "new" education programming has been plaguing the BPS for 40 years... perhaps its time to impose some consistent, universal quality standards. How much money has been spent, and, really, where's the money gone? Lots of educational professionals who get lauded, rewarded ($), but...in a lottery-esque fashion (eg, grant monies) many schools themselves continue to be run in shamefully austere and in some reckless fashions
Schools should have: consistent resources, ample program offerings (including , strict and enforced disciplinary rules (with concrete program options for kids with serious +/or criminal behaviors, also appropriately funded, housed, and consistenly enforced), capable and accountable adminstration (who don't simply show up at non-profit galas for photo opps)...
Besides, when there is a middle school student population that can barely read and have few skills to be good students and "attend" with all appropriate "citizen" behaviors, test scores are not very pertinent. Never, ever in the history of US public education has there been a more unrealistic standard of support, ie, that say we only cater to the college-track, and, more precisely, that we most (and sometimes only) reward students and support programming for those who excel in Mathematics and Science.
But, such is also a reflection of the current state of job and economic development in the US---and our schools barely manage to succeed in even "service" job training ---by supporting literacy, basic problem-solving, and---courtesy.
What are the prospects of the 20% flight risk population, and what's student life like for the 80%---what's the 80% look like? Are they well-behaved merit students with any sort of life aspirations that are connected to their schools?
Hey, life's not perfect, but some of these kids face very dead-end prospects as per current educational options.
Up Up And Away!!!!! Up has a PR budget to die for, and enough spin to keep any avid reader breakdancing all night long. Facts: Last year Up Academy a had 38% out house and 12 % in house suspension rates. BPS average is 5%. The ACLU filed suit on a MA public district for a 22% suspension rate. Indeed, Up's policies are ACLU actionable. Ask the multi-handicapped and Vietnamese students who were not welcome to begin with. Ask the students who were pushed to the McCormack. In real public schools when students leave "read not forced out" they are replaced. I wonder how many McCormack students transferred to UP because of behavioral difficulties? The answer is 0. I wonder how much money UP kept for the kids they bounced that were not replaced? Don't believe the PR. UP's budget has money set aside just for SPIN. They will never accept any fallibility, but do accept a hefty service fee. Reminds me of students who refuse to accept responsibility and never a mea culpa. It's time UP's corporate brass admit culpability and fallibility for their cherry picking behavior. Pride comes before the fall.
I am glad to see this article note that UP Academy's 19% withdrawal rate is well below the 22% district average and among the district's lowest after transforming the Gavin Middle School. Keeping more students than the district average makes us even more proud of our students' growth on the MCAS in our first year. In fact, the Gavin's own historical withdrawal rate averaged 25% in the five years before the UP Academy transition.
However, the claim above that 17 Gavin students with disabilities were "barred" from attending UP Academy is patently false. No Gavin students were ever barred from enrolling in UP. The 17 pupils mentioned were enrolled in the "BEST" program at the Gavin, one of two specialized programs in the district for students with multiple handicaps. Due to state laws requiring charter schools to admit students by lottery after a transition period, it would have been impossible to ensure that enough students with special needs would be admitted via lottery to guarantee the BEST program could continue. As a result the district chose to separate the BEST program from UP Academy.
We were not surprised that the families of these 17 students chose to remain at BEST, specially designed to meet their needs, rather than enroll at UP Academy, but it is critical to note that they were given the choice. Had they chosen to enroll at UP, we would have been happy and proud to serve them along with the rest of our student population, including our 115 pupils with disabilities who are currently enrolled.
How many of the withdrawing students were replaced? Let's see the academic, disciplinary and SPED data for the withdrawing students. Its not who you start the year with totally, it is who you still have around when the tests are administered.
Without replacing the students, the percentages of students scoring advanced or proficient is bound increase merely by statistical operation - even if the actual number scoring advanced or proficient does not increase.
How was taking the multi handicapped program "impossible"? Why would a parent put a kid into a school that doesn't offer support for multi-handicapped kids? If they decided to stay would they have been put in a class with everyone else, where their needs could not be met through test prep? Were students of the multi handicapped program recruited at all - like students from Advanced Work programs were? What about the ELL population? What happened to the Vietnamese SEI classes? One of my former students, who has a history of severe trauma, went to UP. He was not suspended when in my classroom, has behavior challenges, and was certainly not a good test taker. He was suspended constantly while at UP last year. He no longer attends the school...How many of the students who "withdrew" midyear were replaced? Does a 38% out house and 12% in house suspension rate sound reasonable? How come not a single teacher from the Gavin was hired? Exactly how much money do the "managers" receive for their corporate takeover? Is it 15%? What's teacher turnover like? What's the average experience of the teachers? What do the student work bulletin boards look like - are they tests, test prep, or are CREATIVITY and CRITICAL THINKING showcased. Why was the phrase up and out academy coined? You can site "spin" data about withdrawal and "115 pupils with disabilities". The facts are that many of your "withdrawals" were certainly targeted as evidenced by the 38% and 12% suspension rates, as well as the testimony from the McCormack. Students with diapers and wheelchairs cannot be compared to a student with a minor processing issue - so don't do it! The multi handicapped kids are still HOUSED in your building, but not apart of your TEST DATA. You could have at least kept the program (because all Gavin students were guaranteed a seat) for 2 years until the students graduated, although this would have impacted "improvement" data. Will there be any mea culpa for any of these concerns, or will the spin of infallibility and superiority be exclaimed from the PR coffers?
"I am glad to see this article note that UP Academyâs 19% withdrawal rate is well below the 22% district average and among the districtâs lowest after transforming the Gavin Middle School." How is 19% "well below" "22%"? This response immediately sets the tone for the spin that follows. So, according to UP logic, a 38% suspension rate is 7.5 times greater than "well above". I call the this ACLU actionable. You can't be "proud" and then not admit egregious folly. I'll say it again...pride comes before the fall.
"The nonprofit slices off a certain amount from school district appropriations as management fees, which this year amounted to $600,000 (mostly from Boston) out of the nonprofit's $2.7 million budget. The organization also received a $400,000 state grant and some money from the federal government designated for turnaround schools. The rest comes largely from three foundations.
school districts to run the schools as what was previously allocated. At UP Academy Boston, the appropriation is about $7 million.
Ultimately, Given said, Unlocking Potential's management fees will grow faster than its expenses. "And when we're at six or seven schools, we won't need private philanthropy anymore," Given said." from: http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/print-edition/2012/11/16/public-school-turnarounds.html?page=all
How much PROFIT does Givens make from corporatizing schools? He will not admit any fallibility and will continue to be a spin doctor because that's his BUSINESS. McDonald's doesn't have ads about heart attacks - just smiling faces and dollar menues. Why would UP's business model be any different? Hey UP Brass - "Where's the beef?" I think it's in the "management fee"....I challenge Givens to produce tax returns. The real motive for school takeover is PROFIT, not "helping kids". If it's really about helping kids Givens should give unneeded management fee to BPS coffers. PUBLIC education should not be for PROFIT. When it is you get 38% suspension rates...Indeed UP only wants to teach a certain type of kid...The "Marshall Plan" is a mess.
Column Whyte is correct "UP only wants to teach a certain type of kid!" Please note that Mr. Givens cagily failed to mention the Vietnamese SEI Program that disappeared from the Gavin when UP Academy took over, to be explicit Givens said to the MADOE, "The district will not be reserving spots at the Gavin for Vietnamese shelter immersion students anymore. We create these policies so that all students can be served." *
The proposal that was submitted by Unlocking Potential and the BPS to the community was that UP Academy would be taking ALL the Gavin students! Not just a "certain type of kid" that would not bring down UP Academy's MCAS scores! What school were the Vietnamese SEI students moved to? What school do the names of the multi-handicapped students appear if it is a "district" program? What schools AYP will be plummeting down because they have these populations?
UP Academy receives $600,000. from BPS to "manage" 476 kids, this is quite a bit of money considering Boston pays Dr. Johnson $323,222. and she "manages" 57,000! UP Academy needs to keep their behavior problem students, and not pawn them off to the McCormack or other traditional Boston Middle Schools! It's time the Charter School Network negotiated with the MADOE and develop a wait list with other charter schools, to send those students, who are found to be "not the right fit" for their school! Paid this amount of taxpayer money, charter schools need to keep their problems!

These shoes were very wide. for a support focused shoe, the gaping and puckering on both the ankle and the sides...even the top of the shoe, were shocking. I wouldn't order these unless you have a very wide and stocky foot. Other Nike sneakers we have in this 12.5 size fit nothing like this.

Your Tax Refund May Be Used to Offset Debts
Tagged Under : federal tax refund, Financial Management Services, form 1040, Injured Spouse Allocation, IRS Form 8379, state income taxes
Did you know that past due financial obligations can affect your current federal tax refund? The Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS), which issues IRS tax refunds, can use part or all of your federal tax refund to satisfy certain unpaid debts.
Here are the facts about how your tax refund may be used to offset certain types of debts:
1. If you owe federal or state income taxes, your refund will be offset to pay those taxes. If you had other debt such as student loan debt or child support debt, the FMS will apply as much of your refund as is needed to pay off the debt and then issue any remaining refund to you. This won't be a surprise to you, because you will receive a notice if an offset occurs. The notice will include the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency receiving the payment and its contact information.
2. Contact the agency shown on the notice, not the IRS, if you believe you do not owe the debt or you are disputing the amount taken from your refund.
3. You'll need to file IRS Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, if you filed a joint return and you're not responsible for the debt but you are entitled to a portion of the refund. You'll need to attach Form 8379 to your original Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ or file it by itself after you are notified of an offset. Form 8379 can be downloaded from the IRS website at www.irs.gov. You can file Form 8379 electronically. If you file a paper tax return you can include Form 8379 with your return, write "INJURED SPOUSE" at the top left of the Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ. IRS will process your allocation request before an offset occurs.
4. If you are filing Form 8379 by itself, it must show both spouses' Social Security numbers in the same order as they appeared on your income tax return. You, the "injured" spouse, must sign the form. Do not attach the previously filed Form 1040 to the Form 8379. Send Form 8379 to the IRS Service Center where you filed your original return.
5. The IRS will compute the injured spouse's share of the joint return. Contact the IRS only if your original refund amount shown on the FMS offset notice differs from the refund amount shown on your tax return.
6. Follow the instructions on Form 8379 carefully and be sure to attach the required forms to avoid delays. If you don't receive a notice, contact the Financial Management Service at 800-304-3107, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Time).

Customize It: Choose your colors. Choose your gaskets. Choose your lenses. You design the goggles, we build them:
A lens treatment that prevents horizontal light rays from bouncing through a goggle's lenses. When swimming outdoors, horizontal rays bounce from the sun off of the water into a swimmers eyes, causing difficult, blinding situations.
Mirrored Lens
Highly reflective, bold statements of color. Mirror coatings are strictly cosmetic and do not provide any difference in vision.
Wide Peripheral View
Can see left and right without blockage. Features wide viewing angles for your daily swim routine, or open water competition.

The background color of the tabs in the navigation menu below the header is white (#FFFFFF) in my choosen standard skin.
I want to have it the same color (#FFFCEF) as the other backgrounds. I tried already a lot of style options but I did not succeed till now.
I prefer to let the skin standaard as it is and add a change in the back-end custom includes.
Anybody an idea?

Movie review - 'Grave Encounters' 2011
This movie came out recently and the plot in its most basic form is like this: A team of amateur paranormal investigators decides to investigate a haunted asylum. They are recording everything as their priority is not the paranormal activity itself, but a TV show they run called Grave Encounters. Being completly devoted to their show, they agree to lock themselves inside the abandoned asylum overnight to capture ghostly activities. However, they get more than what they bargained for when the building turns into an impossible maze where the previous mental-patients come back to terrorize them.
Now, first off; I will be writing my personal opinion which may include spoilers.

Really finishes the bed!
By TMY1011
from Seattle, Wa
About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about South Shore Cakao Bookcase Twin Headboard in Chocolate Finish:
This headboard really makes this bed work visually. Looks very nice, and it is good to have a place for the kids to put their books after reading at night. Make sure that once you attach this to the bed, you don't try and move it by yourself. It isn't so much that it's heavy, but you could rip out sections of the particle board if you don't take the weight off while you're moving it. It doesn't attach to the bed well enough to be certain one piece or the other wouldn't be damaged.
Worth Buying with the Bed
By Mama
from Philadelphia, PA
About Me Midrange Shopper
Nice headboard for a lamp & some reading material. I purchased this with the bed, and was glad I did, so my sons' pillows don't fall off. You do not need a boxspring (foundation). A Euro Matress is just the right height.

Great headboard, save me some space for my sons books and some toys. A very simple design.
My Daughter is Happy!
By Happy
from Canmore, AB
My daughter had a specific style in mind for her new "exotic" looking room. We purchased the bed and headboard and they gave her the look she was after. [...]We are very happy with our purchase and it saved us a lot of money not only because the price was great but also because we didn't have to drive to, and then all over, a large city looking for the right bed.

Nice match with bed
By Mom Helen
from Toronto, Canada
Nice complement to the bed. A must for kid's toys and books; really personalizes the room. We appreciate the ability to add a lighting fixture so the wires do not show. Needed to touch up seams with touch up marker at times; but overall beautiful colour and simple style.

Joining Military maybe...
I am just wanting a little feed back from my fellow motor biking peers. If any of you were to join the military for the next 5-7 years would you keep your bike and leave it in the garage for when you come back home on leave and when you get out. Or sell it to not take a hit from the depreciation and stuff. Thanks guys just wanting some feed back.

Really just depends on your branch of military and deployment schedule. You could at least keep it for your first few months and see how it works out. I keep Mine in storage on base while I'm deployed, it just makes you want to ride and appreciate it more.

Totally agree with keeping it and throwing it in storage. Boot camp for any branch isn't very long anyways. School will take the longest depending on the job you choose.
I am for instance an AT in the Navy. I did 9 weeks in boot camp, 8 weeks in Apprentice Technical Training (ATT), then 16 weeks in Pensacola for A-school then went and did another 8 weeks of school in Whidbey Island for my C-school. Some schooling for different jobs take longer and some are way shorter. I don't know about the other branches but I believe the Navy covers moving all your stuff to your final destination. Deployments will be different with everyone. I for instance was in Afghanistan for 6 months. Some of the Army folks said they were to be there for 18 months. I would honestly give it a deployment if you do join to see if you really feel like you should sell it. For all you know you may get stationed somewhere that has year round riding weather and it maybe completely worth it to keep the bike even if you do deploy.

I haven't talked to the recruiter in my area yet but if I go in I am hoping for Army Rangers. Then go from there my goal is special forces.

Have you looked into the Air Force's Special Forces units? Combat Controller, Combat Weatherman or even............Pararescueman aka PJ. The training schedule will make Ranger training look like the Boy Scouts summer camp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_..._and_structure

Or heavier bullets trash something when you graze them (spirit bar or something like that? A few bars were moving simultaneously).
A lot of moves seemed to come out faster too, like Reimu's flip-kick. Genres quickly give users a rough idea of what's to come. I expected a fighting game and saw two people fighting with some pokes and bullets and combos. I'm satisfied. If you're talking about around :40-:50, I don't see much wrong. After Marisa's twirly thing that Reimu blocked (if startup times are faster then Marisa simply reacted too slowly), was the move you're saying didn't punish as it should have, it did in the end give her a lot of breathing room since both flew to each side again. |

- If you purchased a VMware Fusion 4 retail box through a VMware Reseller during this time period you will need to submit your license key(s) and proof of purchase online by October 31st, 2012. Please allow up to 30 days from submission to receive your complimentary electronic upgrade to VMware Fusion 5.
Get Started
If you would like to try VMware Fusion 5 right away, we recommend you download a 30-day evaluation until you receive your upgrade key.
Customers who purchased VMware Fusion 4 before July 25th, 2012 can upgrade to VMware Fusion 5 Professional for 50% off the regular price or buy a full license of VMware Fusion 5.
Customers with a valid license of VMware Fusion 3 or 4, VMware Fusion 5 or Parallels Desktop (version 7) are all eligible to upgrade to VMware Fusion 5 Professional at half the cost of a full license. To upgrade to VMware Fusion 5 Professional, go to the VMware Online Store and follow the easy steps.
Customers with an active support contract are eligible to upgrade to VMware Fusion 5 on the My VMware portal. Follow the instructions provided in this KB article.
After upgrading your license key(s), you can download VMware Fusion 5 software from the Fusion Download page.
Upgrades will be available on the My VMware portal shortly after VMware Fusion 5 is publicly available. All VMware Fusion license keys with active support and subscription contracts with an end date on or after August 23rd, 2012 are eligible for an upgrade.
Yes, you should first uninstall the beta version using the included Uninstall VMware Fusion function before upgrading to the final released version.
No. When you uninstall the beta version and install the final released version of VMware Fusion, virtual machines created using the beta will remain intact.
From the VMware Fusion menu, select About VMware Fusion, and the version and build number will be displayed in the "about" box.
To license VMware Fusion, simply enter a purchased serial (or license key) during product installation in the license key field. Alternatively, you can enter your serial / license key from the "VMware Fusion" drop down menu in the product. Choose "License" in the drop down menu, enter the serial / license key and choose "OK."
In order to receive the complimentary email support that is included with your license purchase, you need to ensure that the serial / license key has been registered in your My VMware account.
You must register VMware Fusion to receive complimentary email support. If you do not already have a VMware.com account, you can create an account profile and register your serial / license key in the My VMware portal by selecting Product Registration from the Products & Downloads pull down menu.
If you purchased a retail box, the license key can be found on the "registration card" inside the box.
If you purchased VMware Fusion directly from VMware (Direct Sales or Online Store) or have already registered your purchased product with VMware, you can find your serial / license key by looking it up in the My VMware portal.
- Log into the My VMware portal using your VMware.com account credentials
- Select the License Keys option in Quick Links on the left hand side or from the drop down menu under Accounts
If you already entered your serial / license key upon software installation, you can see your key from the VMware Fusion drop down menu in the product. Choose License in the drop down menu. The serial / license key will be displayed in the software licensing dialog.
The VMware Fusion Activation Code is a 25-character alpha-numeric code.
- Example: AALYG-20HVE-WHQ13-67MUP-XVMF3
VMware Fusion for personal use:
You may install and use VMware Fusion for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X ("Mac Computer") that you own or control.
VMware Fusion for commercial use:
If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may install and use the Software on a number of Apple-branded products running Mac OS X ("Mac Computer") that you own or control equal to the number of licenses purchased. Installing and using the Software on multiple Mac Computers with a single license is prohibited even if the computers are not running the Software concurrently.
You can review the End User License Agreement(s) from this page: www.vmware.com/download/eula/
Problems with registration can be caused by several factors. First, double- check your serial / license key for typographical errors. All characters that look like a "0" are a numeric "zero" and not the letter "O".
Verify that the code you are trying to register is a VMware Fusion serial number. It should be a 25-character alpha-numeric code (example: AALYG-20HVE-WHQ13-67MUP-XVMF3).
If you continue to have difficulty, please file a licensing support request from the Get Support page.

Outdoors: Hunting statistics favor the pursuit of deer
Repeated studies demonstrate white-tail deer are the engine that drives the hunting industry vehicle.
Statistics provided by Southwick Associates — the nation's leading private hunting/fishing demographic and figure-building entity — show that of the nation's 13 million hunters, 10 million of them pursue big-game, chiefly white-tail deer.
In fact, says Southwick, 83 percent of all hunters pick deer as their animal of choice.
Such not-so-surprising facts also point to the economic value of big-game hunting in general and deer hunting in particular.
Of the $22 billion spent by hunters in the U.S. annually, $18 billion is directed at big game. Again, mostly white-tail deer.
Other interesting deer-hunting fiscal notes compiled by Southwick are:
-- Eighty-four percent of deer hunters read some type of hunting magazine between October and December 2011, the most usage of any one media type.
-- The average number of days spent bowhunting deer by archery hunters in the months when they hunt is 4.91.
-- Deer hunters pursue many other species as well. The most hunted species after deer, by those who identify themselves as deer hunters, is wild turkey, with 32 percent of them having hunted turkeys during the year.
Ohio's Division of Wildlife amens Southwick's conclusion that deer hunting is an important economic stimulus. Continued...
The agency says Ohio's sportsmen support as many jobs in the state as the combined employment of Ohio State University and Proctor and Gamble, two of the largest employers in Ohio — 33,000 jobs.
Other economic points hammered in place by the Wildlife Division include:
-- Annual spending by Ohio sportsmen is more than the revenues of the Columbus-based Bob Evans restaurants ($1.9 billion vs. $1.6 billion).
-- Spending by Ohio sportsmen is more than the cash receipts for soybeans, the state's most valuable agricultural commodity ($1.9 billion vs. $1.2 billion).
-- Annually, Ohio sportsmen spend $108 million on outboard boats and engines to get out on the water and around the marshes for fishing and hunting.
-- More people hunt and fish in Ohio than attend Cavaliers and Bengals games (1.5 million vs. 1.4 million).
Other interesting Ohio deer-hunting snippets: The highest-ever total deer kill in Ohio was the 261,314 animals taken in 2009. That was the same year for highest-ever firearms kill (169,793 deer), and archery kill (91,521 deer).
The year that featured the lowest-ever legal kill was the World War II year of 1943, when only 168 animals were taken.

[b]Warning: contains spoilers![/b] This is a top 5 of the best fight scenes in the Metal Gear Solid series. Only fighting scenes that are in cutscenes were chosen, so no gameplay battles (this was done to make it more consistent and specific). Of course this is purely subjective, so this top 5 doesn't represent the top 5 but is simply a personal list. Clearly everyone will have a slightly or very different list compared to this one. The five I chose were, to me, the most memorable, or best choreographed fights in the series, or both. Also, they are fights in which the opponents are well-matched to each other. So the first thing I did was write down all the fight scenes I remember from the series, and make a list. I collected all these scenes and then decided which five were most fit to the conditions I wrote down above, and ended up with five fight scenes I think deserve to be in this countdown. These are the other scenes I considered: MGS1/TTS: Gray Fox vs soldiers (in corrido...

This is a movie I made about Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. It is mainly about the influence of Big Boss on Liquid and on war in general, and about the consequences of war seen through the eyes of some of the characters. It's presented in a trailer-like way, although it's not really a trailer, more like a video that shows a little bit what this game is about.

INDEX NEWS AROUND INDIAN COUNTRY NEWS BRIEFS 2 3 Tribal law ensnares northern Nevada woman Brain-wasting disease No more illegally-elected President for U.S. public Leech Lake's current mess makes Eli's Drugs and Crime Election 2004 campaign issues COMMENTARY/EDITORIALS 4 J\ *:' CLASSIFIEDS 7 page 3 page 4 page 4 page BkJ| page 4 Red Lake Tribal police officer's home attacked VOICE OF THE PEOPLE By Bill Lawrence Early Saturday morning, January 3, 2004, an unknown individual fired multiple shots at the home of Red Lake Band of Chippewa Officer William White. White's family, his wife and three small children, were inside. No one was injured. Officer White's police vehicle was also peppered with shots. It appears from casings found at the site that the shooting was done with a .22 caliber rifle. Officer White was one of the arresting officers in the Charles Donnell case. Donnell was arrested after a high-speed chase in Redby, Minnesota in October. The case was dismissed by Red Lake Tribal Court Judge Garnet Comegan in November on a technicality. During the arrest small, sale-ready packages of methamphetamine, marijuana, crack paraphernalia and firearms, including two loaded handguns and three loaded rifles were discovered in the Donnell home. There is a possibility that there is a tie-in between the Sat urday shooting of White's home and the Donnell case. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in the investigation along with the Tribal Police. The incident is regarded as an assault with a dangerous weapon; there may also be more serious charges upon apprehension of a suspect. Red Lake police are requesting that anyone with information that might be helpful in leading to an arrest of the offender call 218-679-3313. Three charged in drug bust on Leech Lake Reservation By Bill Lawrence Larry J. Robinson, 46, was arrested January 6, 2004 after a search of his residence on the Leech Lake Reservation near Cass Lake, Minnesota. Am- brosio Tapia-Hernandez, 44, and Omar M. Castillo, 21, both of Minneapolis, were also arrested. The three men are in the Cass County Jail awaiting court appearance, which will be Monday, January 12, 2004. Tapia-Hernandez and Castillo, both believed to be non- Indian, have been charged with Possession of First Degree Controlled Substance and Sell and Conspiracy. Robinson, in addition to these charges, was charged with Convicted Felon in Possession of Firearms. Bail of $50,000 each was set. It is unknown whether they have been appointed an attorney at this time. Larry Robinson is the brother of Rich Robinson, District 3 Representative on the Leech Lake Tribal Council. He is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Chippewa and a resident of the reservation. Sheriff Randy Fisher reported that suspected controlled substances, cash and firearms were seized at the site by law enforcement officers. The arrests are the result of a long-time, ongoing investigation conducted by officers of the Cass County Sheriff's Office, Leech Lake Tribal Police, Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Leech Lake first quarter financials under question by Tribal Council District Representatives By Diane E. White Cass Lake - At the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe's (the "Band") Quarterly Meeting, held at the Palace Casino in Cass Lake on January 2, the highlight of the meeting was Secretary-Treasurer, Arthur "Archie" LaRose's mandated quarterly financial report of government funding and Gaming enterprises. The quarterly financial report covered the first quarter of the 2004 Fiscal Year, July 1 to October 31,2003. District Representatives I and III requested back-up documentation to the report to which Chairman Pete White agreed and directed the Controllers to provide by next week. Ultimately, the quarterly financial report was not approved even after Chairman White attempted to make a deal with the Representatives to approve it. The unaudited financials did not make much sense to the crowd either until after specific questions were asked and officials revealed that certain significant and material information was not put into the report. Controller Dan Erickson stated that no capital expenditures are reported within the quarterly report, and for discussion purposes, some capital expenditures were made after October 31, therefore, do not pertain to the current report. The capital expenditures made include the Band's on-going projects: the 100 Homes Project, the Shingobee Casino construction, the expansion of White Oak Casino, and remodeling of the Business Corporation building and how these projects are being funded was not revealed. The sale of Ojibwe Reflections retail store in Walker, Minnesota (for $250,000) and the Centennial Bank Shares that were sold (LaRose reported for $400,000) were not reflected in the Financial Report either. The Business Corporation Financial Statements reported the Tribe's "for profit" business operations at an overall loss of ($629,289). This loss is subsidized by Gaming dollars. Interestingly, the financial report did not show Accounts Receivable or Depreciation or any meaningful ratios that help the financial reader to identify ways in which the businesses are losing money, which can be through loss of cash receipts, inventory or write-offs of accounts receivable. The Gaming financials did report net earnings with and without Depreciation and Interest Expense. Depreciation is a paper transaction that reflects the cost of assets by reducing the initial cost of such asset over a period of years. Years vary by type of asset. Due to the controversy surrounding capital projects, the District Representatives strongly contended they were purposely misinformed or not informed about them and were not aware of their contracts or costs. Luke Wilson, District I Representative, stated they [District Reps] were not allowed to participate in any budget process or modification for the Business Corporation to begin operations, suggesting improper funding by Gaming dollars. He further stated there were Business Corporation projects started on a two-person vote of White and LaRose, which violate tribal policies and Chairman White's own Executive Directive. Chairman White then appointed the District Representatives to supervise the Business Corporation, but later would not agree to this arrangement officially by resolution or Executive Order. When pressed to either rescind the Executive Order or to make a resolution to change his current policy that effectively keeps the District Representatives "in the dark" by not allowing access to accounting records and also by making the former CEO, Mike Johnson accountable only to him; he first stated all he needed to do was to write a new Executive Order, but later stated he would need the Council to rescind the . | order unanimously. He did neither. Then before the end of the meeting, White proudly accepted the "challenge" to fix the current controversy, however, this "challenge" was not made by anyone to him. District I Representative, Luke Wilson asked Bob Goggleye, Vice President, Business Commission, why he did not stop construction on two projects (Shingobee casino and White Oak Expansion) after he received a December 5 memo signed by the District Reps and Chairman Pete White directing him to stop these two construction projects. Goggleye responded that he could not stop the projects without determining where in the construction phase they were and what steps need to be taken to protect what had already been done. He stated he called Wilson later that day, but Wilson was not in the office, but that he talked to District 2 and 3 Reps who indicated it would be okay to keep the construction going. (The two district representa- COUNCIL to page 5 American Indian tribe plans casino at Kenosha dog track Associated Press KENOSHA, Wis. - An American Indian tribe has agreed to buy a dog track for $40.5 million to build a casino there. Dairyland Greyhound Park investors unanimously approved the sale option Tuesday, but the Menominee Nation's plan is contingent on local, state and federal approval. "It's not a slam dunk issue," Menominee Tribal Chairwoman Joan Delabreau said. "Nobody has promised us anything." Tribal officials hope to have an application before the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Gaming by June. The purchase option expires in 2008. Tribes and developers have viewed the track, on Interstate 90 near Kenosha, as a potentially lucrative casino site. In 2001, then-Gov. Scott McCal- lum rejected another plan by the Menominee to turn the track into a casino. A spokesman for Gov. Jim Doyle said Tuesday the governor KENOSHA to page 3 Nez Perce doctor sets sights high By Hannelore Sudermann Idaho Spokesman-Review COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Dr. Kim Cunningham-Hartwig never thought about the odds. A Nez Perce from Lapwai, Idaho, in a country where only 54 percent of Indian people finish high school, she graduated with honors. And though many of her peers didn't go on to college, Cun- ningham-Hartwig's grades and desire to play basketball landed her a full-ride scholarship at prestigious Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. After majoring in the difficult field of biochemistry, she took the same rigorous approach toward medical school, passing grueling exams and gaining entry to the University of Washington medical program in 1997. Cunningham-Hartwig became a doctor last year, and today is one of only a few hundred Native American medical doctors in the country. She is the only doctor from her tribe. And she's the mother of three young children, besides. "Basketball is what ultimately prepared me for life," she said. Thousands of hours of practice, and winning, losing and living with high expectations helped her succeed. She also credits her community and fam ily for their encouragement. "She never did think there was an obstacle in her way," said Bill Picard, a member of the Nez Perce tribal executive committee and the tribe's education liaison. The basketball star from Lapwai is now treating Spokane- area patients in the first year of her residency, and grounding herself for a career in family medicine. "By bettering herself, she's bettering the whole tribe," Picard said. "A lot of children look up to her. But also, a lot of adults look up to her, too." For Cunningham-Hartwig, 31, basketball and becoming a doctor were a blended effort. Medicine first caught her interest when, as an eighth-grader, she watched a doctor treat her older sister for a basketball injury to her knee. Though she didn't know any doctors, she had a plan. In high school, she signed on for a competitive University of Idaho/ Washington State University program for teens from rural communities to get a taste of the medical profession. "She was in our first class of Medical Scholars," said Michael Laskowski, former director and now a professor in the UW med- DOCTOR to page 3 web page: www.press-on.net We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

A quadrennial new year's celebration by Indians and other indigenous people worldwide here this week is, for many, a key way to stress to their children and upcoming generations the importance of culture, tradition and identity. (AP Photo/John Miller) Thunder powwow kicks off near Tucson Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. - Tribes from around the world are gathered near Tucson for 12 days of dancing and music in the desert. Participants at the "Thunder in the Desert 2004" powwow held a sunrise ceremony Thursday to greet the new year. An Aztec troupe from Mexico City danced across the grass at Rillito Park to the steady beat of drums as the powwow kicked off Wednesday afternoon. "Everyone is here because of their commitment to their culture," said organizer Fred Snyder. More than 30 groups representing American Indian tribes from across the U.S. are expected to dance at the powwow. The event also features an arts and crafts market with more than 20 artisans and food booths offering fry bread-and other munchies. The event is sponsored by the nonprofit Reservation Creations Women's Circle Charitable Trust and the National Native American Cooperative. Thunder in the Desert was first celebrated to usher in 2002 and there are plans to repeat the event in 2008 and 2012. Study aims at preventing diabetes in American Indian women Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE - Diabetes has robbed Ayn Whyte's aunt of so many things. Her job, the sight of her grandchildren and her independence have all been taken, and she now depends on a dialysis machine four times a week to keep her alive. "She's blind and she has to stay home all the time," Whyte said. "She had nine children but can't cook for them or herself. She can't care for herself." Whyte, a researcher at the University of New Mexico Office of Native American Diabetes Programs, wants to help other Indian women avoid her aunt's fate. The center is in the middle of a five-year study aimed at preventing diabetes in American Indian women. The $1.8 million study is being funded by the National Institutes of Health. "It's hard to see people trying to make changes to their lifestyles when it's very, very late," Whyte said. For Whyte's aunt, who she didn't want to mention by name, the effects of diabetes have already taken their toll. The center hopes to develop methods to teach Indian women how to prevent the disease. And the need is urgent: Indians are three times more likely to get diabetes than whites. Diabetes death rates are four times higher for Indians than for whites, according to the center. The study's focus is on women because, traditionally, they do more of the food preparation in Indian families, said the center's director, Janice Thompson. STUDY to page 5 Tribal role models featured on Turtle Mountain calendar Associated Press BELCOURT, N.D. - Turtle Mountain reservation families are featured in a new calendar that seeks to promote healthy living. Dr. Angela Erdrich, a Bel- court pediatrician, produced the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Good Healthy Life calendar. "A doctor can only do so much patient education in the office, one-on-one," she said. "My goal is to share positive health messages with a wider audience in a format that is catchy. As a bonus, I think the calendar helps promote community pride. "A major message in the calendar is that we are our own best medicine," she said. "I hope this comes through on every page." Erdrich, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and a native of Wahpeton, has been a pediatrician for Indian Health Service since 1997. She produced calendars twice on the Oneida Reservation in Wis consin and twice on the Navajo Reservation in Chinle, Ariz. "This is the fifth calendar I have workedon, and I think it is my best effort so far," Erdrich said. The calendar includes articles focusing on aspects of healthy lifestyles, and photos of people who can be considered role models. "I come across some wonderful families in my line of work, and when I spot someone who is a good role model, I sometimes ask if I can take their photo for use in a poster or the calendar," Erdrich said. "I wanted to illustrate to the public that there are plenty of local Turtle Mountain Chippewa people who are making everyday healthy choices." Breast-feeding is one practice that Erdrich has sought to promote. Erdrich, who is still breast-feeding the youngest of her three children, designed the calendar cover to feature a young mother with her breastfed baby. Seeing the familiar faces of tribal people brings the issue of healthy living closer to home, said Marsha Azure, coordinator of the Honoring Our Health Diabetes Coalition, which backed the calendar project. "It really instills a sense of pride," Azure said. Along with providing information, calendars can, over the years, give tribal members a history of how healthy choices make a difference, she said. "I see it as being very user friendly," she said. "Angie has just done a phenomenal job." Nearly 10,000 calendars have been given away. Calendars went to students and staff of the Bureau of Indian Affairs schools on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Reservation and two other public schools in the county that have a high American Indian enrollment. Physicians at Quentin Burdick Memorial Health Care Facility in Belcourt have been giving the calendars to patients. A large share of the calendar's funding came through the American Legacy Foundation, which CALENDAR to page 5

EMCC Lady Lions post lopsided road sweep of Coahoma |
CLARKSDALE, Miss. – The East Mississippi softball team improved to 9-7 in North Division play with a convincing doubleheader road sweep of Coahoma Friday afternoon. In their third road twin bill over a four-day span, the Lady Lions run-ruled CCC by scores of 16-2 and 18-0. The day prior, EMCC earned a Thursday doubleheader split at Itawamba by claiming a 7-3 victory in the nightcap after dropping a 3-1 decision in the first game. In their first of four straight North Division doubleheaders coming away from home, the Lady Lions fell by scores of 9-1 and 12-4 Tuesday at Northeast Mississippi. In Friday's opening contest at Coahoma, EMCC's Regan Shows of Beaumont capped a nine-run third inning by smacking a two-out grand slam. West Lauderdale product Jessica Vick hit her second home run of the week with a two-run shot in the contest, while also adding a run-scoring double. Sophomore pitcher Brooke Lee, a former West Lauderdale standout, worked all four innings in the opening contest for the Lady Lions, allowing just a fourth-inning single to go along with her six strikeouts and three walks. In the nightcap, EMCC pushed across five runs in the second followed by seven more in the third to contribute to the lopsided shutout. Shows, a transfer from Jones County Junior College by way of Perry Central High School, went 2-for-4 in the second game with a two-run double in the first inning and another two-bagger in the fourth. New Hope product Linsey Upton added a pair of singles in the second contest. Freshman right-hander Courtney Nunn, of Jonesboro, La., earned the victory in the nightcap, only giving up a pair of fourth-inning singles while striking out five Coahoma hitters and issuing just one base on balls. Coach Kate Neely's EMCC Lady Lions, now 16-20 overall, play their fourth divisional road doubleheader in a week's span by competing at Mississippi Delta on Monday in a make-up date from an earlier postponement due to inclement weather. East Mississippi will play host to Itawamba in a Wednesday doubleheader set to begin at 3 p.m. on the Scooba campus. |

We have had our dedicated box running 3-4 Far Cry 2 game servers for several months now and its time to make a hard press to get them streaming and punkbuster running smoothly.
Our goals are to get Md5 checks running and cvar checking.
One of the problems we are going to have to overcome is the game port changing when the game is restarted.
While the port is stable as long as our game is running, it is not uncommon to have to restart the server every day or two do to the Ubisoft servers going offline.
A quick survey of 15 running games, shows them running on a port between 9002 and 9088. Out of that 9088 seems to be and an anomaly. The other 14 games are 9023 or less with 11 being 9009 or less.
To my knowledge, which I openly confess is limited at best, there is no method to select the port for Far Cry 2.
Base on observation it seems to want to start at 9002 and start working its way up.
ATM our server 22.214.171.124 is attempting to steam a Far Cry 2 game on port 9011.
Hopefully you will be able to detect it soon and we can move forward.
I can see two solutions to the port changing problem.
The first and which would be the best for us, is to assigned a block of ports to stream on from 9000-9030.
Since the IP address belongs to our box there isn't a problem getting someones else's game server.
The second which would be better than nothing, is to just be able to login and update our port on pbbans whenever it changes.
I look forward to working with you on getting our servers streaming.

This Day in 1912 in The Record: Nov. 15, 1912
Friday, Nov. 15, 1912. Mayor Cornelius F. Burns is furious with the city's electricity and transit providers after yesterday's rush-hour blackout, The Record reports. He wants the cities affected by the power outage to work together to secure better service.
Streetcars lost power for more than two hours yesterday between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. when a transformer burned out at the Adirondack Electric Power company plant in Spiers Falls. Adirondack Electric supplies power to United Traction Company, the city's streetcar service, and the Troy Gas Company.
Yesterday was at least the third time this year that power problems have shut down streetcar service in Troy. After two outages last May, the mayor demanded an explanation from United Traction general manager Charles H. Smith, who explained that "considerable time was consumed before power could be put on the lines." Burns now complains that Smith has had "six months to perfect the synchronizing of the rotary converters," apparently without results.
The blackout, which forced hundreds of commuters to walk home through a rainstorm, "in the opinion of the public and the officials of the city of Troy constitutes the maintenance of a nuisance, and unless immediate steps are taken to rectify these frequent, provoking and extremely inconvenient happenings, appeal will be made to the Public Service commission to take such action as the conditions justify."
Burns issues a similar threat to Troy Gas, calling yesterday's loss of lights "provoking, inconvenient and exasperating." At the same time, he calls on the mayors of Albany, Cohoes, Rensselaer and Watervliet, as well as the village presidents of Green Island and Waterford, to meet in Troy on November 20 and "consider the steps to be taken in abating what has constituted a provoking, unnecessary and exasperating condition."
If nothing else happens, the mayor has at least given his adjectives a good workout.
BASKETBALL. A "rejuvenated" Catskill five gives Troy's defending State League champions a run for most of the first half tonight, but the home team rallies to take the lead by halftime and runs away with the game in the second half, our sportswriter reports.
Catskill opens the game with a 6-0 run, intending "right off the reel to show Trojans that to win the contest they would have to show a lot better basketball than was necessary to score a victory over Catskill in past seasons." Troy answers with a 7-point run and holds on to a 15-12 lead at halftime. "The second half was marked by no effort of any sort on the part of the visitors" as Troy cruises to a 36-18 victory.

What happens when a man known for his intense summer workouts picks up the pace? It might be time to turn a new page for Chuckles. He is very dedicated now! I feel badly for mocking him. The media guide is going to write itself. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120927/SPORTS0102/209270402#ixzz27fmOtZoX
I picture Charlie peddling an excercise bike in a sauna while throwing punches at a heavy bag. My hope is that he loses so much weight that he simply vanishes one day.
Move over Willis Reed. The picture of Charlie G courageously stepping into the sauna while injured has become the defining image of overcoming adversity to me!
This was really sad. Instead of seeing a video about Charlie's schedule, you see a 3 1/2 minute video about an out-of-shape writer wimping out and tossing his cookies. What was the point? It wasn't informative. It wasn't funny.
I hadn't watched the video when I posted the article. I was hoping it was some Kronk Gym type place instead of the glorified pilates studio it was. The video was posted in 2 different articles this AM. The one I posted seemed like a first draft that slipped through cracks but it was more Charlie-centric. It would have been awesome if Charlie was just standing off the writer's shoulder with a towel over his shoulder and scalley cap on like Apollo Reed's cornerman the whole time. He looks ridiculous hitting the heavy bag.
Even if he sucks again this year, I have respect for Charlie for at least working hard to get in shape. It does look like he is doing some pretty intense stuff. We'll have to wait and see if this translates to the basketball court.
Media Day photo. I just ask him via Twitter if he is playing with a chip on his shoulder after getting cut from the Dominican Republic team... lol
LOL! No! .. that would've been hilarious! Andre Drummond also answer me, I asked first how was he doing with the free throws but they didn't answer me that, and then asked something else.
I read Magette just loves working with Arnie. He said that he was planning to retire after this season, but after a couple months with Arnie, he feels like a new man.
