A minimum of two years coding experience is strongly suggested prior to taking this course.
The registration fee for this program includes AAPC membership, CPMA practice exams, and the AAPC Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA®) exam.
Prepares You For...
Certification Exam
What You'll Learn...
The student will learn principles of medical auditing. In addition, there will be discussion of key areas of regulations, CIAs, medical record documentation and chart abstraction. This course is recommended for anyone who is preparing for a career in medical auditing and strongly recommended for anyone who is preparing for the AAPC CPMA certification examination.
Upon completion of this program you will:
• Define fraud and abuse and explain regulatory guidelines for key regulations
• Explain the impact of the OIG Work Plan and Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs)
• List the elements of compliance plans and identify potential compliance risk areas
• Identify National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) and Medically Unlikely Edit (MUE) risk areas
• Explain the HIPAA privacy rule, including details on protected health information, minimum necessary, sharing of information, and enforcement
• Identify medical record documentation standards and record retention standards
• Identify common errors found in documentation for evaluation and management, anesthesia, surgery, radiology, pathology and laboratory, and medicine services
• Explain the types of audits and the resources required for audits
• Define steps of the audit process and identify statistical sampling types and factors
• Explain the importance of discussing audit findings with the provider
This online training course covers medical record standards and documentation guidelines allowing them to confidently communicate with providers. Coding and documentation compliance are key to a successful practice. This course arms the certified medical auditor with information to assist in improvements for documentation compliance within the practice.
Coding and reimbursement concepts assist in a smooth work flow from scheduling the patient visit to the practice being paid for the visit. Understanding these concepts reduce overhead and reduce turnaround time for payment of services, thereby increasing the financial well-being of a practice.
Medical record abstraction helps identify risk areas to a practice. Understanding what a provider documents and what will improve the provider's documentation are key to compliance. Learning how to communicate information back to a provider improves this process. Understanding audit scope and statistical sampling methods and category risk analysis help identify where a compliance office can focus and receive the most benefit from audits.
This course prepares an experienced coder to improve the financial well-being as well as the compliance of provider practices.
Upon completion of this program you will be prepared for the AAPC Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA®) exam. The registration fee for the exam, AAPC membership, and CPMA practice exams are included with this program.

U.S. oilseed production for 2013/14 is projected at 100.9 million tons, up 9 percent from 2012/13. Higher soybean production accounts for most of the increase. Sunflowerseed, peanut, and cottonseed production are each projected below last year's crops.
Soybean production is projected at a record 3.390 billion bushels, up 375 million from the drought-reduced 2012 crop on slightly higher harvested area and higher yields. Soybean yields are projected at a weather-adjusted trend level of 44.5 bushels per acre, up 4.9 bushels from 2012. Soybean supplies are projected at 3.530 billion bushels, up 10 percent from 2012/13.
Additional soybean meal exports for 2012/13 are offset by reduced domestic consumption, leaving crush unchanged. Soybean exports and ending stocks for 2012/13 are also unchanged from last month. The 2013/14 U.S. soybean crush is projected at 1.695 billion bushels, up 60 million from 2012/13 reflecting increased domestic soybean meal consumption and exports.
Despite increased competition from South America, U.S. soybean meal exports are forecast higher on sharply lower prices. Soybean exports are projected at 1.450 billion bushels, up 100 million from 2012/13 on increased supplies and competitive prices. Ending stocks are projected at 265 million bushels, up 140 million from 2012/13. The U.S. season-average soybean price for 2013/14 is forecast at $9.50 to $11.50 per bushel compared with $14.30 per bushel in 2012/13.
Soybean meal and oil prices are forecast at $280-$320 per short ton and 47-51 cents per pound, respectively. Global oilseed production for 2013/14 is projected at a record 491.3 million tons, up 4.7 percent from 2012/13 mainly due to increased soybean production. Global soybean production is projected at 285.5 million tons, up 6 percent.
The Argentina soybean crop is projected at 54.5 million tons, up 3.5 million from 2012/13 on record planted area and higher yields. The Brazil soybean crop is projected at a record 85 million tons as higher harvested area more than offsets lower yields. China soybean production is projected at 12 million tons, down 0.6 million from 2012/13 as producers continue to shift area to more profitable crops.
If realized, harvested area at 6.6 million hectares would be down 28 percent in the past 4 years. Global production of high-oil content seeds (rapeseed and sunflowerseed) is projected up 6.1 percent from 2012/13 on increased rapeseed production in Canada, India, EU-27, and Ukraine, and increased sunflowerseed production in Argentina, EU-27, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey.
Oilseed supplies are up 5.1 percent from 2012/13. With crush projected to increase 3.4 percent, global oilseed ending stocks are projected at 82.6 million tons, up 12.3 million. Global protein meal consumption is projected to increase 2.7 percent in 2013/14. Protein meal consumption is projected to increase 3.3 percent in China, accounting for 32 percent of global protein consumption gains. Global soybean exports are projected at 107.1 million tons, up 11.3 percent from 2012/13. China soybean

Well... I finally went and did it. I've been wanting to something like this for quite a while.
To introduce myself, my name's Christopher or just "Chris." I'm 26 years old and live in a rural area of Washington State. I've been an ardent enthusiast of languages for as long as I can remember and I have been studying Philippine languages in general for about eight years now.
Here's some more about me in FAQ format. In this case, FAQ stands for "fictitiously asked questions." ;-)
What does "salita" mean?
Salita is a Tagalog word of Sanskrit origin. Its meanings include word, speech, talk/speak and language. I wanted a word that not only reflects the subject of this blog, but also something that is found in a number of Philippine languages. So far, I have found six more; Ilokano (sarita), Kapampangan (salita), Pangasinan (salita), Rinconada Bikol (sarita), Botolan Sambal (halita), and Tina Sambal (salita).
On a side note, I once proposed this name for a group defending Philippine languages. But it was turned down. They went with dila (tongue), which is a word found in virtually all Philippine languages.
Are you Filipino?
Yes, I am. Three of my grandparents are Filipinos and my late maternal grandfather was an American of Cornish, Irish, German, and Swiss descent.
However, I was born in the United States. I did live in the Philippines in Angeles City & Clark Air Base, Pampanga for five years during my childhood.
My ancestors come from various parts of the Philippines and came to settle in the Metro Manila area in the 20th century, particularly in places like Makati. They're from Batangas, Cagayan (Ibanag-speaking part), Camarines Norte (Daet), Camarines Sur (Libmanan), and Quezon Province. My great-great-great grandmother Luisa Orlanda was born in the Philippines, and she reportedly spoke only Spanish.
So, you're a US-born Filipino. Do you speak Tagalog?
Yes, I do speak Tagalog but this was not always the case. Although my parents have been speaking Tagalog among for as long as I can remember, they speak to me in English. As a result, I saw no need to speak Tagalog as a child even if I could understand it. I started strengthening my Tagalog during my teenage years and I speak it rather well with occasional mistakes. Tagalog is part of my everyday life.
What other languages do you speak?
I started learning Spanish 11 years ago and French 8 years ago. I speak the two rather well and am fairly confident with them. I have also studied many other languages. To keep it short, I have devoted a lot of attention to Catalan, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Bulgarian, and German. Not to mention Philippine languages like Bikol, Kapampangan, Cebuano, Ilokano, etc.
Are you a linguist?
I'm not a linguist in the professional sense. That is, I don't have a university degree in linguistics (though that'll change in a few years). My knowledge of linguistics over the years is self-taught. I'm a linguist in the sense that I study languages and know a thing or two about'em (or at least I'd like to think so!).
What's your job?
I am currently a teacher assistant at a private elementary school. One of my jobs is teaching Spanish.
What else do you do?
That free time I spoke of? It's gone! ;-)
I graduated with my Associate in Arts & Sciences Degree on June 16, 2006. I am going to be studying in the University of Washington in Seattle in Fall 2007.
Have you written anything about Philippine languages?
I wrote a book called In Bahasa Sug: An Introduction to Tausug. My friend & linguist Jason Lobel is in the Philippines right now having it published and doing research.
My book is now available at http://members.aol.com/linggwistik
I've also written an essay about languages and dialects.
I have also helped out in editing Dr. Carl Rubino's Tagalog Dictionary.
What is your pet peeve?
Phrases such as "the Cebuano dialect."
Life must be rough living out in the sticks. Where would you rather be right now?
Either Barcelona, Spain or Montréal, Québec.
Gawd, you're such a language nerd. What else do you like to do?
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more posts. I'm still getting used to this Blogger site.

CASTRO VALLEY — A overturned box truck and a gas leak forced the California Highway Patrol to shut down multiple lanes along Interstate 680 on Wednesday afternoon, snarling traffic at peak commuter hours.
The accident, which was reported around 4:30 p.m., involved a white box truck and several vehicles, according to CHP. The box truck, which had tipped over, was also leaking gasoline onto the roadway.
It is unknown how serious any injuries were, but CHP did close down a majority of I-680 around 5:30 p.m. in an attempt to clean up the spill as well as move vehicles off the roadway.
Around 6 p.m., CHP announced that lanes one, two and three had been re-opened, but right lanes remained closed as crews continued to work to clean up.
The entire road reopened about 9 p.m.

ATR: Ask the Reports Answers Your Baseball Questions: Major Announcement on MLB reports and Melky Cabrera Special Feature
Saturday November 17th, 2012
Posted every Weekend: Your top baseball questions from the past week are answered. E-mail all questions to email@example.com, message us on Twitter, post on our Facebook Wall and leave comments on our website! There are many ways to reach us and we will get to your questions from all social media outlets!
Jonathan Hacohen:
The World, it is changing. It's a fact of life, it's something we can't avoid. Change is inevitable.
Remember when the Chicago White Sox announced a new management structure? Long time General Manager Kenny Williams was promoted to Executive Vice President, with Rick Hahn being the new GM? We are experiencing a new management similarly here at MLB reports. I have been fortunate for the past couple of years to wear many hats at MLB reports. After founding the site and being the Lead Columnist, I was also the Editor responsible for content, updating the website and social media. I have spoken with many of you on Twitter. Yes, that was me.
So today I am thrilled to announce that MLB reports has now changed that structure. Chuck Booth, Lead Writer for MLB reports will now be taking over my role. Chuck, in addition to his weekly columns, will now be the Editor and looking after our social media. Chuck has been very active behind the scenes on MLB reports for some time and we have decided to evolve our roles. As partners in MLB reports, I have been very fortunate to be able to work side-by-side with a great baseball mind like Chuck Booth. This man is a Guinness World Record Holder, having viewed baseball games in all 30 stadiums in only 23 days. How does he do it? The man is a baseball legend.
Going forward, when you are reading our daily tweets, that will be Chuck. When you converse with MLB reports on Twitter, that will be Chuck. The great baseball articles that come every week from MLB reports? Chuck will be the Editor and responsible for all content on MLB reports. So where does that leave me you ask? I guess you could ask Kenny Williams that same question. While Kenny had the passion to have more time for scouting, I have the same passion for writing. There is much work that goes into being an Editor and social media. While I loved those roles, I ultimately want to spend more time writing. I will also be working behind the scenes, focusing on growing the MLB reports brand. It's change…and change is good.
Not to worry, you will still be able to find me and converse baseball anytime. I am blowing the dust off my twitter handle @jhacohen – be sure to follow me, say hello and most importantly, let me know that I sent ya!
Now for the next announcement. You didn't think that was it, did you? I certainly hope that you enjoy this edition of Ask the Reports, as it will be the last one that I will be producing. With hot stove season in full force, Chuck and I have decided to put ATR on hiatus for the offseason to concentrate on other baseball areas. The WBC qualifiers are currently going on, with the tournament itself starting in March. Free agency season has begun (which will the topic of today's ATR). So please continue to send in your questions, we love to hear from you! While we will continue to write back on our site in the comments section, on our Facebook wall and Twitter, we will say goodbye to ATR for the winter months. This has been a weekly feature that was a baby for me. I loved conversing with each of you and featuring your questions. Thank you for taking the time each of you to sending in your questions, we really appreciate it. We look forward to continuing to talk baseball with all of you 24/7 through social media and our site. Send in those questions people, keep sending them in!
In today's edition of ATR, I focus on the signing that shook the baseball world. Fresh off their major trade with the Marlins, the Blue Jays announced that they signed free agent outfielder, Melky Cabrera. We all know the story- All-Star Game MVP, batting leader with the San Francisco Giants. Gets busted for PEDs, tries to cover up with a fake website, requests to be removed from the batting leaderboard in the NL, does not play in the 2012 playoffs and wins a World Series ring. The sordid tale of Melky Cabrera. Now for a fresh start, Melky is banished to Canada. Ok, I kid. Heck, Chuck and I are both from Canada! But with less pressure than say New York or Boston, Melky gets a fresh start in 2013. My e-mail box has exploded with your Melky Cabrera questions over the last 24 hours. As a result, I have devoted this week's ATR to your most popular Melky Cabrera questions. This is our Melky Cabrera Special Feature, ATR edition.
So enough talking- more asking! It's time for Ask the Reports.
Now let's get to your top Melky Cabrera questions of the week:
Q: What were the Blue Jays thinking? Why Would they want a guy busted for PEDs?
JH: The Blue Jays, led by GM Alex Anthopoulos played some money ball in this signing. They found a market inefficiency. Had he not been busted for PEDs, Melky Cabrera was headed for a $60+ million contract. That is a fact. He would have received probably close to $12 million per season, for likely 5 years. That's a lot of bread. So the Blue Jays sit back and think it over. Here is a 28-year old slugger entering his prime. Coming off 2 great seasons, he will be hungry with much to improve. Imagine we stick the guy leading the NL in average in front of Jose Bautista? Hmm…sounds pretty good! Had he not been found to be using PEDs, there is no chance the Jays get him for this low money. Would never happen. But thanks to the "incident", they get a strong player, prime stage of career, at a fraction of the cost. Even if he does not stay as batting champion Melky, he will still be solid. If the Jays get a .280+ hitter with a .830+ OPS, they will be thrilled. Batting in front of Jose Bautista, Melky Cabrera will see tons of great pitches to hit. He will hit .300+, mark my words. At the Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome), he will hit 20+ bombs. The setting is there for success.
Moneyball is part finding a market inefficiency and exploiting it. Considering the money the Jays are paying, they are getting Melky Cabrera for cheaper than Cody Ross. Way cheaper than Nick Swisher. Who would rather have in your lineup? PEDs or not, Melky Cabrera was a one-man wrecking crew in San Francisco this season. Now he is shamed and ready to prove his worth. Playing in a fun and light Toronto clubhouse, filled with great role models and leaders, Melky will thrive. Jose Bautista will help him develop his game. Jose Reyes and Brett Lawrie will keep it fun. With all of the Dominican players on the Blue Jays, Melky will fit right at home. I'm sure the Jays were worried for about five minutes on the PEDs issue. But look, if Milton Bradley could get five chances, Melky Cabrera could get a 2nd. The Blue Jays just spent big time dollars in acquiring some key players from the Marlins. Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle. They are clearly going for it this year. Melky Cabrera fills a giant hole in left field for the Jays and in the batting order. The Jays with this signing confirmed to the baseball world that they will be serious contenders in 2013. The Jays got one of the best available bats in the free agency market much before the winter meetings at a sale price. That is like buying one of the newest apple computers much before Christmas at 80% off the price. That is smart business and one of the top free agency moves of the season. I applaud the Blue Jays for their guts and determination. This move will pay off big time in the coming months. See you in October Toronto, you are getting ready for that long-awaited playoff appearance finally.
Q: How much will the Giants miss Melky Cabrera?
JH: Not a heck of a lot apparently. This was the team that won the World Series without Melky on the playoff roster. Melky Cabrera had a first half for the ages, but then was gone for much of the second half and the playoffs. Somehow, the Giants found a way to play better ball without Cabrera than with him! And we are talking about the All-Star Game MVP in 2012 and the batting champion while he was on the roster! The man was hitting .346 at the time of his suspension, do I really need to say more? But the organization was embarrassed and the team rallied to play without him. So it was clear once Cabrera was not activated for the playoffs that he was finished in San Francisco. If the team did not have room for its batting champion in the lineup, it was never going to play him again going forward. The Giants are concerned at this point with re-signing Angel Pagan and may look at other available bats to beef themselves up, maybe Nick Swisher. But remember, the team did go out and get Hunter Pence. He was in essence the Melky replacement. The team claimed one move had nothing to do with the other, but clearly the team knew the suspension was coming when it pulled the trigger on the Pence trade. The move was made for 2012 and beyond. So the Giants are World Series champions and Melky Cabrera grabs his passport to move north. The Giants closed the book on the Melk Man and they will not miss him one bit. A sad ending to what should have been a career season for Melky Cabrera. But don't feel too sorry for him. He did it to himself. He took the PEDs. He tried to cover it up the website (through his associates). And most of all, he left the team without addressing his situation with his teammates. Melky Cabrera took the coward route by grabbing his glove and going home without apologizing face-to-face with all the teammates he hurt. Hopefully he learned his lesson, will be a better man for it and is ready to jumpstart his career. Just not in San Francisco.
Q: Why did Melky sign for 2 years? Why not 1 year and try again for a big contract?
JH: Considering the state of his career, Melky Cabrera is lucky to have received the deal he did. Most so-called "experts" were looking for him to get only a 1-year deal. I actually projected 3 years, but then I don't run a MLB team. Yet. The man is only 28 and really entering the prime of his career. I can't emphasize that enough. David Ross, an aging backup catcher got $6.2 million or so from the Red Sox for 2-years. Nick Swisher is seeking $100 million and Cody Ross is looking for a 3-year pact. In any other circumstances, Melky Cabrera would have been a 5-year deal candidate. But…then comes risk. Melky Cabrera was a decent 4th outfielder on the Yankees for most of his career, but never a star. He played so poorly in 2010 with Atlanta that he was non-tendered. His career looked over. Then the start with the Royals in 2011 and then the magical/explosion of 2012 came. The way teams needed to consider the risk with Melky, so did the player. What if 2013 didn't go so well, then what? At least with a 2-year deal, he has time to build up his career. At $8 million per season, that is still nothing to sneeze at. The best case scenario: Melky has two monster years and enters free agency at age 30. The 4-5 year deal could return. At worst? He makes $16 million, enjoys the fine restaurants Toronto has to offer and moves on. But a 1-year deal did not give him enough time to rebuild and let people forget his mistakes. Melky Cabrera was smart about that. He didn't undersell himself for too long, but still gave himself flexibility. He is going to the right hitter's park, hitting around some great hitters (Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion). He was not getting 4-5 years this time around. That is a fact. Even Melky Cabrera himself didn't know what his future was. Rather than gamble on 1 year, Melky grabbed for himself a little more security and time. A smart move for a player that needed to make better decisions going forward.
Something else to note is Melky Cabrera's reputation at the start of his career. Out of shape and not motivated were two words to describe his Yankees days. Now without PEDs, I also believe that Cabrera learned the lessons from his youth. I can envision that he will train harder, eat better and work towards being the best athlete he can be. If that is the path that he takes, Melky Cabrera will get a huge contract one day. But even with the commitment to his career, there is always the chance that he will slip. Or simply not be good enough. You never know in life, it is all a gamble. So in essence, Melky Cabrera took the smart route. He took the sure contract and the guaranteed years. He may like to gamble, but not all the time I take it. Perhaps a 3 year deal could have appeared for him from another team, but that was not a chance that he was prepared take. Melky Cabrera got himself into the right situation at a very good contract.
JH: I think Jose Bautista has nothing but smiles on his face. From a guy that was vocal about the Jays (and Alex Anthopoulos) needing to make some moves and pick up more players, Jose Bautista has to be one of the happiest people on the planet right now. Edwin Encarnacion also. Two guys who have enjoyed much success in Toronto with little support just got a ton of fresh bodies. Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, John Buck and now….Melky Caberra. How could he Bautista not be thrilled? Plus, where is Jose Bautista from? Encarnacion? Reyes? Bonifacio? Cabrera? Moises Sierra? What we have folks is the Dominican Republic Blue Jays. The Jays, once very active in the area, just grabbed many Dominican stars on its roster and will have the country dancing in the streets. The happiest guy hasa to be Bautista. He signed long-term in Toronto with much hope, but uncertainty as to the future of the team. There is still no manager and going into the offseason, the pitching staff was in shambles. The trade jump started the excitement and the Cabrera signing will put Bautista over the top. Look at that batting order: Reyes, Cabrera, Bautista, Encarnacion, Lawrie, Rasmus….that is murderer's row. The Jays will have one of the best lineups in baseball with few holes. A star player like Bautista couldn't ask for more than that. Plus with Cabrera/Reyes coming on board, you can be sure that the Jays will have more pull in the Dominican Republic for future talent. Having a strong presence in the Dominican excites the country which will in turn make its players happy. The 2013 Dominican Blue Jays: I like the sound of that.
Q: Why did Melky pick Toronto?
JH: Last but not least, we have to consider Melky Cabrera in the equation. He could have chosen many destinations to play next year, including the Red Sox, Mets, Phillies, Nationals, Indians, Royals…the list goes on and on. Why did Melky pick Toronto specifically? Well, firstly we don't know how many teams were actually looking and were serious to sign the free agent outfielder. Considering that he signed in so early in November, it's clear in my mind that Melky Cabrera did not want to take any chances in not getting a decent to good contract and starting the next stage of his career.
I'm sure that Cabrera had several criteria in his mind when he picked which place he signed with. Firstly, he had to be wanted by the organization. After being discarded by the Giants, he had to go to a place that wanted him, accepted him and would embrace him. He also had to pick a low pressure, easier media setting. In New York, Boston and Philadelphia, Cabrera would have run the risk of getting picked apart by the media on a daily basis, not to mention taunting by very vocal fans. In Toronto, Cabrera got a quieter media area with fans that clap politely at the best of times. Next, he needed to find a contender, with a strong lineup and hitter's ballpark. Cabrera did not want to have to be "the man", it was better to start slow and more play in the shadows. That essentially eliminated a Cleveland from the equation. In Cleveland, Cabrera would have received less support in the lineup and would not have played for a contender realistically. Lastly, it did not hurt that Toronto is very culturally diverse and Dominican friendly (thus my new nickname of the Dominican Blue Jays). Toronto is one of the major cities in the world, with great restaurants and atmosphere. It is clean and polished- Melky will definitely enjoy it. I will admit that I am looking forward to watching him for 81 games in my hometown. Even without the MLB Network, I am proud to live in Toronto. I have travelled all over the world in my days and I will tell you, this is one of the best cities in the world. If I can see that, I am sure that Melky Cabrera can see it as well. Jose Bautista signed here long-term for a reason. Melky Cabrera will find out why over the next two years.
Note From Chuck Booth: When Jonathan asked if I wanted to add a bigger role with the MLB Reports, I was both honored and excited at the possibility. Jonathan and I have been working non-stop since the start of the MLB Baseball Year. The truth with this website is: we are experiencing enough growth that it is all so much work for one person to tackle. We are all lucky that Jonathan had the foresight for a magazine-style baseball website that had as much interaction as humanly possible with its readers through social media hubs. as the MLB Reports does Twitter and Facebook are absolute necessities to run a thorough and efficient baseball site in today's world. Jonathan poured his baseball passion to have this place running so smoothly-and I will work my keester off to run with the same kind of format
As all of us know, these social media places require 24/7/168/365 attention. Not only that, we take pride in posting our pieces with countless fact checking, presentation and editing in our articles. So I am lucky enough enough to be self-employed and be available almost around the clock to take on this mission. Now no one will ever confuse us with 'PHD' people of English grammar, and yes we make typos, spelling errors and make the odd factual error, however since all of us are more baseball fans than anything, I am guessing that most of you are like me and this kind of thing does not bother them when reading baseball articles.
We still will do our best to present great looking articles, with writers that share the same kind of passion of love for the game as we do. So in moving forward, I am not going to change much of the vision that Jonathan brought forth to begin with. There will be small changes here and there to try and keep improving the site. Just like Jonathan, I am available to talk about the game of baseball in any forms of our communication via Twitter, Facebook and (email@example.com) at anytime. I will try my best to reply as promptly as I can. We also have some exciting new things we are tackling here at the Reports. I am writing a (Minimum) 5 Part Series on each MLB Franchise that will take about 2 years to complete. So far I have completed the Nationals , Phillies and am about 60% through the Blue Jays Franchise Series. It is of utmost importance that we don't exclude any 30 fan bases of the MLB Teams. That is the whole premise behind undertaking such a monumental task. You can find all of those articles here.
We have the hot stove fired up for all of the off season transactions on permanent watch. We are tracking Free Agent Signings and Teams Payroll going forward. The General Managers Meetings are coming in December. Eventually the WBC and Spring Training will follow. We have WBC Experts, Fantasy Experts, Ball Park and Travel Experts, a Cooperstown Correspondent, plus many talented writers with vast knowledge in different avenues of the game ready to write new pieces. We even have a Junior Reporter and a Senior Reporter to do some live interviews with MLB'ers and Minor Leaguers. There are also plans in the works to start an MLB Podcast in the spring that you will be able to download and listen to on your favorite audio device. We also have many baseball historians on board with our writing team. We are going to be spending some of the off-season talking about the history of game and passing our knowledge onto you. It is an exciting time for all of us. So sit back, buckle up and get ready for one helluva roller-coaster ride!

Western N.Y. professional agents meet with local lawmakers
GLENMONT, N.Y.-Professional, local independent agents and representatives of the Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. recently met with local lawmakers from western New York on key issues affecting independent insurance agents in New York state. PIANY Past Presidents Lynne Frank, CPCU of Williamsville, N.Y., and Henry Kaye, CIC of Orchard Park, N.Y.; Treasurer Tony Kubera, CIC of Hamburg, N.Y.; and PIANY director Eric Clauss of Buffalo, N.Y., met with several legislators in their respective offices: Sen. Catharine Young, D-57; Sen. Timothy Kennedy, D-58; Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer, R-61; Sen. George Maziarz, R-62; Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-138; Assemblyman Steven Hawley, R-139; Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, D-140; Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples, D-141; Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, D-143; Assemblyman Sean Ryan, D-144; Assemblyman Kevin Smardz, R-146; Assemblyman Daniel Burling, R-147; Assemblyman Ray Walters, R-148; and Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, R-149.
On behalf of local independent agents, their businesses and their clients PIA is meeting with lawmakers to urge passage of a comprehensive legislative agenda for 2012, which includes: repealing mandatory photo inspections; restricting advertising in official state mailings; standardizing coastal homeowners windstorm deductible triggers; requiring that only certificates of insurance filed with and approved by the New York State Insurance Fund clients; and removing the NYSIFs exemption from licensing and other insurance requirements.
PIANY has shared its perspective with New York lawmakers for many years, hoping that the ideas and solutions discussed will come to pass and benefit New York insurance consumers.
PIANYs legislative priorities are of particular importance to the insurance-buying public throughout New York state. The association appreciates these legislators for their time and attention, and everyone at PIANY looks forward to working with them to help ensure these concerns are met throughout 2012.
Key goals for the year are as follows:
Repeal mandatory photo inspections that cause policyholders to lose automobile physical damage coverage. Mandatory photo inspections have outlived their usefulness and should be repealed. The current regulation is complex and expensive for insurers to comply with, and drives up the overall cost for all auto insurance in New York. In addition, under current law, people have lost coverage for damages to the vehicle because no auto inspection was performed. In this situation, the insured has purchased coverage and paid the premium, but will not be covered if his or her auto sustains physical damage, simply because the auto inadvertently was not inspected.
Restrict advertising in official state mailings. PIANY believes state agencies should not send commercial ads in official state mailings when the advertised product or service is closely related to the agencys regulatory authority. We believe this practice implies that the states official endorsement is for sale and could mislead the public.
Standardize coastal homeowners insurance windstorm deductible triggers. A severe hurricane affecting New Yorks coastal areas will reveal inconsistencies that will cause a public outcry over lack of foresight by policymakers. Hurricane deductible triggers vary by company. This lack of standardization causes neighboring homeowners who suffer equal damage from a coastal storm to find that one homeowner has coverage for the damage and the other does not. Standardizing the trigger point at which an insurers windstorm deductible will apply will protect consumers against this type of scenario.
Certificates of insurance. Certificates should be filed with and approved by the DFS superintendent. Insurance producers across the state are burdened on a daily basis by requests to issue certificates of insurance that, if honored, would violate the law. This occurs when licensed producers are asked to complete certificate of insurance forms on behalf of their clients that add terms or clauses that a public entity or other third-party certificate holder requires but which are not contained in the insurance policy. PIANY has offered a proposal that would prevent certificate holders from seeking the illegal creation of unique and highly improper certificates. Legislation should be passed to require that only certificates filed with and approved by the superintendent would be permissible for use.
Compensation for brokers services from the NYSIF. Insurance brokers whose business clients obtain workers compensation coverage from the New York State Insurance Fund get no compensation for their services on these clients behalf. PIANY repeatedly has made the case to NYSIF for including in its rates a factor that would compensate producers. NYSIFs continued reliance on the uncompensated services of licensed insurance producers is an issue of equity. It should be resolved by amending NYSIFs statutory rating provisions to provide compensation to the insureds broker of record.
Remove the NYSIFs exemption from licensing and other insurance requirements. New Yorks commercial insurance market faces unique problems stemming from NYSIFs structural advantages and operating methods. NYSIF operates at a significant cost advantage to private carriers because it is exempted from certain taxes and is permitted to maintain control of its reserves. Moreover, NYSIF maintains an active marketing operation and takes steps to ensure that it gets and keeps business. NYSIF should truly be a "residual" market, and should play the part of a "last resort" market instead of an avid competitor against the private sector. NYSIF was established in 1914 to provide a guaranteed source of workers compensation insurance coverage for employers in New York state.
Combat auto insurance fraud by reforming no-fault. No-fault insurance costs are skyrocketing again. PIANY recognizes that New Yorks competitive auto insurance market is again threatened despite reforms the New York First auto fraud coalition has helped enact in the past. PIANY is advocating for comprehensive reform to the no-fault system.
PIANY is a trade association representing professional, independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout the state.

Concrete Anchors & Fasteners is Our Specialty Questions? Contact Mike
The 1/4" x 3/4" Hammer Drive Anchors are preassembled and packaged with 100 pieces per box. They are a general purpose, light duty fastener that works well in most masonry materials. Because they are in stock, buy them at a significant savings that includes free freight and same day shipping.
ApplicationsThe anchor is made from ZAMAC. This anchor is designed for use in Concrete, Block, and Brick.
EnvironmentThe anchor is designed for use in a Dry environment.
Head Style The anchor is a Mushroom head and is designed to allow the head to sit on top of the surface of the item being attached.
Hole Diameter/Bit DiameterThe anchor requires a 1/4" hole to be drilled in the base material (Concrete, Block, and Brick). The hole should be drilled with carbide tipped bit that meets ANSI standards and used in a hammer drill.
Diameter of Anchor The diameter of the anchor is 1/4".
Length Anchor The length of the anchor is 3/4"
PackagingThe anchor is packaged with 100 pieces per box .
Minimum EmbedmentThe minimum anchor embedment into the concrete is 5/8". Therefore, the anchor must be installed so that a minimum of 5/8" of the anchor is embedded into the concrete.
Depth of HoleThe depth of the hole that is required for the anchor should be a minimum of 1/2" deeper than the anchor will penetrate the concrete. This will allow space for dust created during the installation process to fall, which will prevent the anchor from bottoming out in the hole before full penetration into the concrete.
Maximum Fixture ThicknessThe maximum fixture thickness or the maximum thickness of the material being fastened for a anchor is 1/8". This will ensure that the minimum embedment of 5/8" will be met.
Fixture Hole DiameterThe hole in the fixture or material being fastened must be larger than the designated diameter of the anchor. The 1/4" diameter anchor requires the hole in the fixture to be 5/16".
Spacing between AnchorsEach anchor must be spaced a minimum distance of 2-1/2" from each other when measured center to center.
Edge DistanceIt is very important not to install the anchor any closer than 1-1/4" from an unsupported edge of the concrete.
Anchor Size
Minimum Embedment
Pull-Out (lbs.)
Shear (lbs.)
1/4" x 3/4"
* The figures above indicate average ultimate tension and shear failure values. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% of ultimate value is generally accepted as a safe working load. Reference should always be made to applicable codes.
* The bits are recommended by diameter and may not necessarily be the length needed for your application. Please make sure the usable length will work for your application. *

Special to The Lancaster News
The reports coming in from the sites who participated in the Ag+ArtTour of Lancaster County show the event was a great success both for the participants and for visitors, many whom toured the sites for the first time.
SALUDA, N.C. – Since the 1940s, Boy Scouts from Chester, Lancaster, York, Union, Cherokee and Spartanburg counties have been going to Saluda, N.C., for summer camp.
Originally known as Camp Palmetto, the camp expanded in the early 1980s and was renamed Camp Bob Hardin in 1985, in honor of Hardin, a Lancaster native, who was active in the Boy Scouts.
Hundreds of boys and leaders from the three counties have made the trek up to Saluda during 2013. This year has been the biggest, best year ever for Camp Bob Hardin with a variety of new additions.
Springdell Baptist Church organist Bettie Robertson got an unexpected surprise on Sunday when she was honored for 40 years of service to the church.
In my mind, I could already hear the waves and feel the breeze.
Despite gasoline rationing, no new tires in sight, and a shortage of hot dogs and hamburgers on Meatless Tuesday, we still traveled down to Myrtle Beach.
I was excited on the ride down and Mama was tryin' her best to temper my mood.
"Son, things are going to be different down there this time," she said. "With the war, there will be beach patrols watching for Nazi submarines instead of swimmers who go out too far."
from Springs Memorial Hospital
A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal; it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope.
From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community.
That's the message Springs Memorial Hospital hopes to convey through its celebration of National Hospital Week 2013.
Mother's Day is today, May 12, a holiday recognized nationally, thanks to a joint resolution signed by President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. That resolution designated the second Sunday in May as a day to celebrate mothers and their tireless dedication to their children and families. For one Lancaster mom, this Mother's Day will probably have much more meaning than it used to.
Patty Penegar has two children, Wylie Penegar Jr., 20, and Brooke Penegar, 16. Wylie Jr. helps her run Extreme Automotive on Lynwood Drive. Brooke is an junior at Lancaster High School.

GREAT FALLS – Two years ago, a piece of history was uncovered in Great Falls.
"Stoney Lonesome," the old town jail, was unearthed. But now the brick building sits abandoned with weeds and bushes growing up around it.
Great Falls Mayor Don Camp says he has not abandoned the historical project. He said the weather has prevented plans to spruce up the area and make the piece of history a place people would want to visit.
Susan Singleton admits to tearing up whenever she goes to the grocery store.
Instead of lean proteins like fish or chicken, she goes for the meat that's about to expire because it's what she can afford.
Instead of brand-name products, she fills her cart with knock-off items or whatever she has coupons for. The mother of three from Columbia worries about what she is feeding her family.
"When I go to the store, I cannot buy healthy. I buy cheap," Singleton said.
With a touch of spring in the air, the shrubs, trees, and bulbs locally and across our state remind us of their beauty as they awaken from a long winter's rest. To enjoy the beauty of season as well as learn a little more about the history of our state, you don't have to travel far.
The Garden Clubs of South Carolina (GCSC) will host the third annual Follow the Blooms Tour on Saturday, April 13.
There are many events that can be categorized as milestones in life – turning 16 or 21, getting married, having a baby or reaching a 50th wedding anniversary. But turning 100 years old is a milestone that warrants a large party, a party that draws hundreds of people.
That's exactly what happened at Morningside of Lancaster on March 16. Around 300 guests showed up to celebrate Ted Robinson's 100th birthday at a party held in the parking lot on the Morningside campus.

The water on a frog's face (蛙の面に水, kaeru no tsura ni mizu) is a training regime that Jiraiya adopted while training the Ame Orphans. This would require the four of them to wear frog suits while training outside in the endless rain of Amegakure. This was to teach the young orphans to remain calm in the face of all adversities.
With this, Jiraiya also created a "Hop-In" system which was to be used in the hideout. It consisted of four wooden cards with images of a frog on one side and the other side was completely red. Each of their names were also printed just below the cards. Whenever one member was out of the hideout they were to turn the card onto the side with the frog so that the others would be aware that they were not there, and while they were in the hideout, the card should be on the red side. If one of them was gone but that person's card was still red, it would signify that he or she had been captured and something was wrong and if it should happen that a plank is turned on to the white side yet the person is in the hideout it could mean that an enemy has transformed into said person and has infiltrated the hideout. Jiraiya explained that this was done as a precaution because Amegakure was still war torn and politically unstable.[1]
- "Water on a frog's face" (蛙の面に水, kaeru no tsura ni mizu) is a Japanese expression referring to staying calm no matter what happens to you, just like how a frog will remain calm, even if you sprinkle water on its face.

Annual Report to Congress FY 2004
|MS Word (417 KB)
Pursuant to the President's Management Agenda and building on the Department's Culture of Accountability Report and Strategic Plan , in 2003, OCR formed a team to examine its primary line of business—the case resolution process. OCR's Team developed a set of recommendations to reengineer the case resolution process in order to promote consistency and high quality, enhance efficiency, and improve customer service. In July 2003, the Department's Executive Management Team accepted OCR's recommendations. Throughout FY 2004, OCR developed and undertook a comprehensive series of strategies designed to implement the recommendations. Significant strategies are discussed below.
Case Management System
The Case Management System (CMS) is an automated tool that OCR uses to track OCR's complaint and compliance review investigations and proactive activities such as significant technical assistance. CMS is a primary data source for measuring progress in achieving agency objectives. Moreover, the document management part of the CMS reduces reliance on paper complaint files for documenting OCR's case resolution activities and provides users the ability to perform a variety of functions involving particular cases, such as indexing of party and witness interviews and evidentiary documents.
Customer Service
OCR adopted improved customer satisfaction in the case resolution process as one of its performance indicators under the Government Performance and Results Act . The office developed a new set of customer service standards, addressing such areas as courtesy, promptness, fairness, and consideration of customers' time and needs. These standards are prominently displayed in all OCR offices and on OCR's Web site. OCR is emphasizing the importance of customer service in relevant OCR publications as they are reprinted and in communications about the case resolution process with our customers through training for OCR staff. To evaluate the success of our efforts, OCR began an ongoing survey of customer satisfaction in 2004. The survey responses will help OCR assess the effectiveness of our standards and their implementation and enable us to ensure that we provide high quality service.
Casework Tools
2004 also brought the rollout of the internal automated casework tools system. Casework tools are documents that have been identified as meeting specific agency standards for high quality and that can be adapted for use by our staff to save time on specific case related activities. Population of the casework tools database is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Identification of casework tools that meet high quality standards and that help all of OCR staff be more efficient is an important step in the process of improving the way we conduct civil rights investigations.
OCR Policy Repository
In FY 2004, OCR also established an internal automated Policy Repository. The Policy Repository is yet another resource to ensure consistency and high quality, improve efficiency, and enhance customer service. When fully implemented, the repository will consist of a searchable current policy document collection with ensured content integrity that substantially reduces duplication.
Case Processing Standards
OCR also developed new case planning and monitoring standards in FY 2004. These standards are simple but important principles that apply to all OCR cases. They are intended to enhance quality, efficiency and customer service in OCR's overall case resolution process.

So it's down to Romney vs Santorum now. But when when it comes to the 1% it's really just a one-man race. The difference between Romney and Santorum is that while Romney's policies benefit only the 1%, Santorum's policies only benefit the 1%.
In his post, A Budget Narrative For Mitt Romney's America, Terrance Heath writes,
Romney's economic agenda circa September 2011 consisted of a refusal to cut corporate taxes or raise taxes on individuals, an increase in defense spending, and a balanced budget amendment that would all but guarantee slashing spending on just about everything but defeat.
But that was then, and facing the Republican extremist base, Romney came up with a new plan,
For starter's, Romney's new plan would not only extend the Bush tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of this year, but would also cut individual income tax rates across-the-board another 20%, reducing the top rate to 28% and the bottom rate to 8%, from 35% and 10%. In addition, Romeny's new proposal would retain the 15% top rate for capital gains and dividends, eliminate taxes on investment income for households making less than $200,000, repeal the estate tax, and drop the corporate tax rate to 25% from 35%.
Heath writes that the Romney plan also "obliterates the safety net."
Bob Borosage, in 9 Crazy Things Mitt Romney Believes:
- the wealthy have "too little money"
- "those blessed by being born to the wealthy few should inherit the earth"
- the world is "the oyster of corporations seeking tax havens"
- Wall Street is "free to gamble with other people's money, and you rubes are on your own"
- the military has "too little money," where elderly workers have "too much security and leisure"
- "our schools, water systems, roads and bridges, subways and trains, nutrition programs for children, Coast Guard and FBI" get "too much money" and can "do with much less"
- and "children must play the hand that fate dealt them. If they are the heirs to the rich, they live charmed lives. If they are born to the poor, they must rise above it "
So while Romney's budget plans hand everything to the top 1% at the expense of the rest of us, Santorum has a different plan. Santorum's plan takes from 99% of us in order to hand everything over to the top 1%.
In Mitt Or Santorum? It Hardly Matters, Isaiah Poole explains the difference,
While there are certainly differences on the margins between the former governor of Massachusetts and the former senator from Pennsylvania on economic policy issues, on the basic economic direction the candidates would take the country you could just about say that the winner of the Iowa caucus was "Mitt Santorum" with 50 percent of the vote.
… This chart by Think Progress on the candidates makes that remarkably clear. More tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations? Check. Cuts to Medicare and Social Security? Check. Repealing health care and Wall Street reforms? Check and check.
The losers, of course, are economically struggling Americans, both those who have jobs but fret about their economic security, and those who are trying but failing to make it onto the economic ladder. In speeches after the caucus vote, "Mitt Santorum" feigned care for these people but offered relief only to the wealthiest Americans and the corporate lobbyists who control Washington. To sell an anti-worker, anti-middle-class agenda, "Mitt Santorum" trotted out the conservative movement's tried-and-true bogeymen: an Obama administration that is "redistributing money" and "increasing dependency," and government regulations and taxes that have "made workers uncompetitive by driving up the costs of doing business."
It's just a question of personal choice: do you want economic destruction of 99%, with everything going to the 1%, or do you want everything going to the 1%, and economic destruction for the 99%? With these two, that's your choice.

Parent Union organizer Doreen Diaz, right, walks with her daughter and other children to the front door of Desert Trails Elementary in Adelanto, Calif., in February.
Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Oscar Isaac and Rosie Perez chat about their new movie, "Won't Back Down."
Doreen Diaz left the red carpet movie premiere of "Won't Back Down" in New York City last week feeling encouraged.
But then the 47-year-old mom, a key figure in the education movement that "inspired" the feature film, headed back to the tiny desert city of Adelanto, Calif., and her tract home near Desert Trails Elementary School. That's where the real battle over the so-called "parent trigger" law drags on, with no tidy Hollywood ending in sight.
"The movie makes it look a lot easier than it really is," said Diaz, who started drumming up support to overhaul her local public school more than a year ago.
Desert Trails, where 100 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, ranks in the bottom third of California schools with similar demographics and has been stuck on the federal watch list for failing schools for six years. Sixty-two percent of students are Hispanic and 27 percent are black. One-quarter of students don't speak English at home, and 15 percent of students tested in 2011 had disabilities.

Diaz felt that the school had given up on its poor and minority students. She wanted more for her daughter, a special-needs student who started the fifth grade last year at a second-grade reading level.
Diaz and other organizers of the Desert Trails Parent Union, educated and bankrolled by Los Angeles nonprofit Parent Revolution, continue to fight the school district in court to turn over their neighborhood school to a charter operator. If they succeed, they'll become the first in the nation to successfully invoke a parent trigger.
The controversial legislation enables parents who collect signatures representing more than 50 percent of students to force a major overhaul on an underperforming school, from replacing its principal and half the staff to shutting it down. Similar parent-trigger laws are now in seven states, with forms of the legislation in the works in 20 others since California narrowly passed its Parent Empowerment Act in 2010.
Academy award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal talks about her role in "Won't Back Down," and what she learned while researching the role of a determined mother trying to make a difference in the education of her children.
The concept behind the parent trigger is instantly appealing to Americans fed up with foundering schools: Give parents the power to turn around a school that's failing their children when bureaucrats don't or won't act. Prominent Democrats and Republicans have touted the idea as a bipartisan solution to expanding school choice and spurring complacent educators to action.
The movement appears to have public support: 70 percent of likely voters said they'd support parent-trigger laws in a March national poll by StudentsFirst, a pro-school-choice advocacy group run by Michelle Rhee, the controversial former chancellor of the Washington, D.C., public schools. An independent Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll released in September reported the same approval rating.
But teacher union leaders and critics like the Chicago-based advocacy group Parents Across America blast "Won't Back Down" as propaganda, and they question whether people throwing their support behind parent-trigger laws understand the ramifications of the complex policy solution. They argue the movement's supporters have demonized teachers and promoted hostile takeovers over collaborative reform.

"This is not true parent empowerment," said Leonie Haimson, founding member of Parents Across America, which opposes school privatization and high-stakes testing. Haimson joined about 50 protesters at the New York premiere of "Won't Back Down." "These are the choices of billionaires and hedge funders and other venture philanthropists who send their own kids to private schools."
Influential groups like Parent Revolution and StudentsFirst have been lobbying for the cause and searching for parents to test out the fledgling laws. The legislation's supporters are eager to use "Won't Back Down," which is financed by conservative billionaire Philip Anschutz's Walden Media, to popularize the parent-trigger policy.
Parent Revolution, supported by the Gates, Walton Family and Wasserman foundations, on Friday announced plans to host "Won't Back Down" screenings with panel-led discussions in 19 states over the next four weeks. Walden Media also distributed the pro-charter school documentary "Waiting for 'Superman'" and is pushing an activist toolkit on the new movie's website. (The Gates and Wasserman foundations are among the funders of The Hechinger Report.)
"Usually a movie like this comes out long after a social movement and documents it through the eyes of the hero," said Ben Austin, founder of Parent Revolution and former Clinton White House adviser. "But this movie is coming out in the almost embryonic stage of the movement, and will sort of become part of the movement."
Parent Revolution's first attempt – in 2010 at McKinley Elementary in Compton, Calif. -- died in court. The charter operator picked by Parent Revolution still managed to get approval to open a school close to McKinley, but less than one-fifth of McKinley parents moved their children there.
Parent Revolution learned from its mistakes, said deputy director Gabe Rose. The nonprofit, with a roughly $3 million annual budget and 35 staffers, now focuses on letting local parents choose their preferred reforms and emphasizes charter schools aren't always the best option, Rose said.
But in both Compton and Adelanto, the process has proved divisive.
At school drop-off zones, board meetings and press events, Desert Trails Parent Union promoted catchy mottos on T-shirts and signs like "Si Se Puede," and "I am the Revolution," while a counter-campaign led by opposing parents had theirs: "Save Desert Trails" and "Yes to change, no to charter."
Also at The Hechinger Report: Public universities pledge to increase grads
Parents on both sides have accused each other of intimidation and harassment and called police on one another. PTA meetings have erupted into shouting matches, and kids have been bullied for wearing pro- or anti-trigger law shirts to school.
"It's tearing that school apart," Adelanto School District Board Member Jermaine Wright said. "If the parents are fighting, then it starts to trickle down to the kids."
Desert Trails PTA Vice President Lori Yuan, whose 7- and 9-year-olds attend the school, won't be lining up to see "Won't Back Down." Yuan, 39, is among the faction of parents actively opposing the trigger effort. She said she, too, wants to see improvement at Desert Trails but is convinced that a charter operator isn't the answer.
Soapy 'Won't Back Down' gets a failing grade
She wants to give Principal David Mobley, who took the helm only three months before the trigger effort went public, a chance to turn things around. And she questions the political motives behind Parent Revolution, which rented out a five-bedroom house to serve as the parent union's headquarters and helped secure a law firm to represent parents pro bono.
"Why do the people that attend Desert Trails today get to determine a future when there's a whole community that technically owns the school?" Yuan said. "This is not a grassroots movement."
Mobley has launched a new literacy program through Success for All, a research-based curriculum with a national track record. A new after-school program extends the school day by three hours for about one-sixth of the school's 600 students. And this month the school formed a new "alternative governance council" comprised of teachers, managers and parents on both sides of the trigger debate to oversee progress.
The board voted in August to carry out that alternative governance reform model instead of the parent union's charter school plan, on the premise that it was too late to convert to a charter school this year. Outraged, the parent union went back to court, arguing the district deliberately defied the judge who validated the charter petition.
Margaret Spellings, the former Secretary of Education under George W. Bush, and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa join The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd to talk about teacher unions, charter schools versus public schools, and investing in education and teachers.
If the judge again rules in the parent union's favor at a hearing later this month, parents who signed the trigger petition will vote Oct. 18 on one of two local nonprofit charter operators that submitted bids to take over Desert Trails in the fall of 2013.
By this time next year, Diaz's daughter will have moved on to middle school. Diaz credits a good teacher with helping her daughter advance two and a half grade levels last year, and she's a co-chair on the new governance council, but she said recent changes were made "too little, too late."
"It's not just about my daughter," Diaz said. "It's about the community. We have to make a change because the children deserve the best futures, and they can get there through education."
This story, "A struggling school, a bitter fight and no tidy Hollywood ending in sight," was produced by The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, nonpartisan education-news outlet based at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Help For Haiti
As the news continues to pour in about the shocking loss of life (estimated in the tens of thousands now) and wide-spread destruction following the quake in Haiti this week, I hope you Wreckies will consider donating to one of the many relief organizations providing aid there.
Unfortunately there are a lot of scammers popping up, though, so do be careful where you give. Charity Navigator has a great list of trustworthy organizations here, which includes our previously featured Doctors Without Borders.
For an easy way to donate to the Red Cross, you can text "Haiti" to 90999 and $10 will be added to your next phone bill. (Over $1 million raised this way as of this writing.)
I know a lot of you can't afford to give much. That's Ok! As we saw from the Charity Countdown, it only takes each of us giving a little to accomplish a lot together. So let's give what we can, spread the word, and say a prayer for this poor country and the heroes working there on the ground.
(Our Doctors Without Borders First Giving page is still up, and there's no minimum donation required. Only have a buck to give? Then please, give it here.)

The final stop on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pipe Masters, will commence this morning at 9am in three-to-five–foot (1 – 1.5 metre) conditions at the famous break of the Banzai Pipeline and will whittle the field down from the eight remaining Quarterfinalists to crown a champion by day's end.
"We have a building swell and three-to-five foot conditions right now so we'll be getting underway at 9am," Randy Rarick, Vans Triple Crown Contest Director, said. "We expect to be commencing the Finals some time around 1pm."
In addition to crowning the 2009 Billabong Pipe Masters Champion, today's action will also see the culmination of the Vans Triple Crown (an ASP Specialty Series).
The Vans Triple Crown title race currently lies between ASP World No. 2 Joel Parkinson (AUS), 28, who was eliminated in Round 3 of Billabong Pipe Masters action, and 2001 ASP World Champion C.J. Hobgood (USA), 30, who needs to advance into the Final to overtake Parkinson's current Vans Triple Crown ratings' lead.
While hunting this year's Billabong Pipe Masters and Vans Triple Crown champions, the peak of the ASP World Title race came to a head when now two-time ASP World Champion Mick Fanning (AUS), 28, claimed the 2009 ASP World Title crown at Pipeline over Parkinson.
QF 1: Dean Morrison (AUS) vs. Damien Hobgood (USA)
QF 2: Flynn Novak (HAW) vs. Kelly Slater (USA)

WASHINGTON, D.C. - For those living during World War II, but especially for those who wore the uniform, there had to be days to remember and days to try to forget. Sixteen million men and women served their country during World War II as members of the U.S. armed forces. Last Tuesday, a group of these veterans from southwest Iowa experienced some emotional memories from the war when they traveled to Washington, D.C. as members of the second Western Iowa Honor Flight.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A 15-year-old suspect charged with murder in the killing of a Brunswick toddler made his first appearance in court Monday morning. A 17-year-old suspect also arrested in the killing made his first appearance Monday afternoon.
Dominique Lane appeared in court in the death of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago (pictured, below). Lane, 15, was initially reported to be 14 years old. A judge did not say if he is being charged as an adult. Investigators said he was an accomplice in the killing.
De'Marquise Elkins, 17, appeared in court Monday afternoon, and a preliminary hearing was set for next week. According to Georgia state law, 17-year-olds are considered adults in the criminal justice system.
Investigators said Elkins shot and killed the child as his mother pushed him in his stroller.
Both teens face first-degree murder charges.
Families, community react to charges
News that two school-aged teenagers were arrested for the murder of the toddler has parents in the community on edge.
"When I heard about the murder, the first thing I thought about was that my daughter could've gone to the same school as the guy who had done this," said Tina Barrientos.
Barrientos said it's difficult to grasp that an 8th grader at Glynn Middle School has been accused of such a tragic crime.
"It's just somebody they had in their class," said Barrientos. "It's hard for for them to believe that somebody they knew could do that, or be part of anything like that."
One parent Channel 4 spoke with wanted to remain anonymous, but said no one expected Lane to be involved.
"Seemed like a normal kid, and they knew him and everyone who knew him liked him," said the parent.
No one wanted to speak on camera Monday night about Elkins. Off camera, Channel 4 was told that Elkins had a troubled childhood and may have been abused. The Glynn County School district told Channel 4 that Elkins was turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
"I think it's sad. I was real shocked when I heard about it," said Parent, Patricia Mincey. "I'm just dumbfounded."
Suspects' grandmother: 'He's a victim'
"I feel sorry for the mother. I feel sorry for the baby. And my baby is innocent. He could've been dead too," said Brenda Moses, Lane's mother.
Outside court Monday, Moses and Lane's grandmother, Verdell Hunter, said Lane doesn't know Elkins. Hunter said her family doesn't know exactly what happened, but her grandson lives in the area and told her he was simply walking by when he saw Elkins.
"He's a victim," Hunter said. "He said that boy came up to him and said, 'I'm fixing to off you off. You a Mexican.' Because he had a hood on his head with the little thing in there. And my grandson said oh."
"My grandson is a victim," she added. "He could've been dead. The baby is a victim. The mother is a victim. My grandson is a victim. He's a victim."
Hunter said the killing is something her grandson would never be a part of, and his mother said he was merely a witness.
"My grandbaby ain't like that. He a baby, but he's not a baby killer," Hunter said. "So they need to get that straight. He's not a baby killer."
Kevin Gough, the Public Defender representing Elkins, and the teen's grandfather spoke at a news conference Monday.
"I have known Marquise since he was a little child. The Marquise we know, the Marquise we love would never do anything like this," Elkins' grandfather, McKinley Elkins, said.
He said the national attention on his grandson has been difficult for him and his family. He said they don't feel safe in their own community.
"The family is deeply concerned about bullying of the family members by the police," McKinley Elkins said. "Please stop. Ever more troubling for Marquise's family and friends is hateful racist remarks on the Internet posted about Marquise."
Lane is in eighth grade at Glynn Middle School. Elkins was enrolled in an alternative school in October 2011 that is now defunct.
"I would ask everyone to bear in mind that Marquise or De'Marquise 'Markie' Elkins is himself a child," Gough said. "His favorite television shows are cartoons, especially Tom and Jerry. He misses his family. He would like to go home."
Police in Georgia say an anonymous tip helped them make arrests. The Brunswick Police Department said Sunday that they got a tip that someone was crouched in the backseat of a vehicle as it drove away from the shooting Thursday. The Glynn County detective's division spent hours following up on the tip and eventually arrested the 15-year-old suspect. The boy's statements led them to Elkins, according to police.
Santiago's mother, Sherry West, said she was pushing her son in a stroller Thursday morning when Elkins and the younger boy approached and asked her for money. She said she told them she didn't have any, and said Elkins shot Antonio in the head. West said he also shot her in the leg.
Elkins' family says he did not shoot the child.
A memorial for Santiago was held Monday morning.
