Common Core Must Be Eliminated
October 4, 2013
To The Reader's Forum: Taxpayers spend billions of dollars on K-12 education, most of it going for teacher and administrative salaries....
I don't see where 50s is playing the race card. If Trayvon was a white boy, would our president still refer to him as "If I had a son he'd be like him?" I know it's a hypothetical question, but in all sincerity, would he? So with that in mind, who REALLY started playing the race card in this murder trial? And furthermore, what business did the president have making a public comment on this anyway? Remember the outcry when Nixon made a public comment on the Manson murders?

Monkeyboy, are you talking about his statement "the pot calling the kettle black?" Is that the racial statement you are referring to? If you are, that's a wild shot in the dark. P.S: Don't accuse me of bringing gun rights into the conversation.

I didn't see any indication of a racial or prejudicial statement. Color does not matter, at least not to me. What is nauseating is the accusations directed toward conservatives of racism because they are anti-Obama. Nonsense. All of it.

madman said,"I hear no mentionof blame on parents now a days. There are a small percentage of bad teachers, but a larger percentage of bad parents. Teachers now a days not only have to teach, but also be the parents, the disciplinarians, the guidance counselor, etc. Their job should be to teach. These kids are so screwed uo when they get to school, the job of teaching is almost impossible. Blame the parents for not parenting. And by the way, I am totally against tenure. And instigator, how would you like to take a 25% paycut? Do you have 4 YR DEGREE WITH A MASTERS?..." I agree with you 100%. I have several relatives and friends that are GREAT teachers and have been forced by society to raise the children now a days rather than do what they have been trained to do...teach. Parents, I think it's about time you start acting like your title and raise your own children!

That's the pot calling the kettle black. If you don't know anything (obviously)about Chicago schools, you're an idiot for saying I'm lying about them. I have a son. He doesn't look like Trayvon. How's that bite you.

Emelye, it's more about assuming responsibility and control over important issues not killing them. I like Bryan and his merry band of patriots. Sorry you do not, but that's why you are Emelye and I'm Carla. It makes life more interesting. :)

Bryan Thomas' blog, "The Bad of Patriots," which was established to (among other things), "combat the parasitic spread of liberalism," is hardly an unbiased and credible source of facts, carlaw. While there are definitely problems with our educational system today I cannot imagine how eliminating the Dept of Education and its funding of schools on a national basis would help. Why is it that so many right wing ideas are about killing programs and systems they don't like instead of reasonably attempting to fix them?

I have to disagree. Read this post: "Of all the departments of our federal government, the most pointless and unconstitutional is the Department of Education. Since it was created back in 1976, test scores have shown no substantial improvements compared to all the money we are spending. If we are looking for ways to cut back our debt, one of the first places we should look is the Department of Education. The Department of Education's budget has increased over 300% from when it was first established. Are test scores higher? No! Even if we go back to when the Department of Education was started in 1979, we still don't see any significant increase in test scores in the US, let alone compared to the rest of the world. It's sad that so much taxpayer dollars is going into a system that really isn't making our children more educated to compete in a world market." B. Thockey

The Amish won't be teaching this TRASH to their children. Common core says K-5th (yes, K) must be proficient in identifying ALL the male & FEmale parts, the sezual trans diseases, symptoms & cures or treatments, how you get them, all the alt. lifestyle info savy jargon. It is a piece of trash. nothong more. A money & power GRAB. OH Bumme Rushie 10:28 pm says: "Are the Amish exempt?"(from obamauncare) OH, I WISH IT WERE JUST THE AMISH. (Remember when BHO was against the corp.in America? now he exempts them.)? President Obama's health law and the "individual mandate" requiring residents to have health insurance, more than 160,000 others who use health-sharing ministries will be exempt. They're one of nine exemptions built into the health care law, covering everyone from ILLEGAL immigrants to PRISONERS; those who have religious conscience objections. HEY nobody wants his (BHO) crappy, miserable ideas. Obama doesn't even want it. he hasn't read it

The NYS Learning Modules are scripted curriculum that makes it seem like the government thinks robots can teach our children. Instead of arguing about unions and teacher salaries, we need to band together to get some changes made quickly. The teachers are not to blame for this mess, and most of them feel helpless at this moment. They have a new curriculum they don't know how to teach, and their jobs are being held over their heads. Please have a conversation with a teacher. Let him/her show you how difficult the transition has been. Nothing changes with regard to this, by voicing your opinion on here. If you want to be heard, contact your school officials, and local, state, and national political leaders. If enough people get together, the government will have to start listening. By the way, the Southwestern District is listening to us and has scheduled a meeting for parents. If you are a Southwestern PreK-12 parent, check your child's folder next week for the details.

All I really know, is that since my kids (who are honor, straight A students) started taking this Common Core Math, there has been nothing but tears of frustration and a complete lack of understanding as to what to do. There is no book, no papers coming home....how, as a parent, am I to help them with homework?? Its rediculous!

I disagree with keeping local control. You need some oversight. Can you imagine what some of these small narrow minded towns across the country will be teaching their kids. Districts with 80-90% poverty rate. Who in that community will run that school? I don't agree with common core, but I don't think the answer is full local control.

Two days a week, students from Jackson and Lumen Christi high schools give up more than an hour of their time to tutor children there. The idea was pitched by two Lumen Christi graduates who went away to school but wanted to give back to Jackson.
Mia Cheema, 20, a junior at Grand Valley State University, and Josh Badall, a junior at Xavier University in Cincinnati, teamed up in 2007 to better the city they plan to raise their families in one day.
"When we came back here, I think we learned to appreciate the community here," said Badall, 21. "Jackson has always been here for both of us."
Not many students are taking advantage of the service at the King Center, 1107 Adrian St.
King Center study room
Tutoring runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at 1107 Adrian St. The room is open for studying and Internet access weekdays.
Willis often sends a couple of his own 10 children to the room for tutoring.
"I just come here to get my work done faster," said Willis' son, Robert, 8. "If I didn't come, I'd wait until nighttime."
On a recent Tuesday, Lumen Christi junior Sierra Semenchuk, 16, helped Robert learn how to spell "Wednesday."
"Think of wed," she said.
"Then n-e-s," Robert spelled.
"And d-a-y," Sierra said.
Some students who use the room during the week do not have computers or Internet access at home, Willis said.
The lack of participation is also a matter of transportation and a perception that the area is not safe, both of which Willis says he is working to change. But the tutors and Willis aren't giving up on getting the word out that they are providing a valuable service.
"I grew up around this area," said Lumen Christi senior and tutor Giordan Gibson, 16. "It just feels good to give back to the community."
Vermeulen Furniture donated most of the furniture in the room. Cheema's cousins, Mohammad Chaudri, owner of Pizano's Pizza on E. Michigan Avenue, and Asher Bashir of Lansing also helped out.
Willis said he hopes to market the study room to other age groups.
He plans to start a class for senior citizens to teach them computer and Internet basics.
Cheema and Badall plan to bring career services representatives to help people fill out job applications and find work.
"Even if one kid gets help out of this and makes something out of themselves ... the whole thing will be worth it," Cheema said.

Local high school students, libraries and home schooled students again have the unique opportunity to be a part of the Cornell University-based reading project known as the Cornell Reading Project.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Fulton and Montgomery Counties brings this opportunity to the region and is looking for high school English teachers and students to participate.
The 2008 book, selected by Cornell University is "Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America" by Gary Wills. In this book, Wills breathes new life into words we thought we knew, and reveals much about a president so mythologized but often misunderstood.
Wills shows how Lincoln came to change the world and to effect an intellectual revolution, and how Lincoln wove a spell that has not yet been broken.
Each classroom teacher will receive a free book for every student in his or her class.
In addition, Cornell University will provide bookmarks, study questions, posters and a DVD of the campus-based book talk, which will take place in August. The selected book is a required reading for all incoming Cornell University freshman.
Research indicates that pleasure readers are more likely to be active participants in the world around them.
As a result Cornell University wishes to help build a community of readers by:
• providing great reading materials
• prompting community discussions by creating a common reading experience
• helping readers to understand authors by providing an opportunity for reflection and discussion
• supporting out of school time reading
This will be the eighth year of the Cornell New Student Reading Project and the fourth year that Cornell Cooperative Extension of Fulton and Montgomery Counties has participated.
Last year, CCEFM distributed 620 books to eight schools throughout Fulton and Montgomery Counties. Extension's goal to exceed that number this year.
Cornell Cooperative Extension encourages high school English teachers and libraries in Fulton and Montgomery Counties to participate in this unique educational opportunity.
Individuals interested in the 2008 Reading Project should contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Fulton and Montgomery Counties by April 4.
The books will arrive in May.
To receive free books for your classroom or library contact Shannon Dygert at 762-3909 ext. 122 or e-mail email@example.com. For more information please feel free to visit www.ccefm.com.

I only have great things to say about these springs. I installed these on my wife's 03 Jetta 1.8T with your basic tools and a rented spring compressor in my garage in about two hours. The car is an everyday driver, I wanted something that would provide a quality ride, and aggressive stance, and perform better, but I didn't want it to look 'slammed' or like some 18yo kid got his hands on it.

Don't forget the "flooded" heat shrink to make a long lasting, low-noise connection. If you use a propane torch to shrink it make sure it has a wide low velocity nozzle and start at the end farthest away from the cable, gradually working around until it has evenly shrunk down to the cable with a small bead of the melted hot glue visible. If you over-do it you'll scorch the heat shrink and it will split. I would strongly recommend you do all the prep work and connectorization etc with your feet firmly planted on the ground! Good luck!

UPPER FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP — The West Windsor-Plainsboro North girls' lacrosse team has waited since last May 5 to get back at Allentown when the Redbirds stomped the Knights in last year's Mercer County Tournament final.
Plenty has changed since then. The Redbirds lost most of their scoring power to graduation. The Knights, however, returned yesterday pretty much intact from last year.
And the outcome was different, too, with North showing it will likely have the dominant team in the Colonial Valley Conference this year in a 15-5 win over the Redbirds yesterday.
"Yeah, well of course we were fired up for this game," said Olivia Harpel, who scored four goals and had an assist for North. The Knights lost to the Redbirds 18-10 in the MCT final last year, after beating Allentown 12-10 in the second game last season.
"We wanted this game, absolutely," Harpel said. "The first half was a little back-and-forth and we weren't as strong as we wanted to be, but we kept our heads up and we refocused and played much better in the second half. I'm pretty pleased with the result."
Harpel got the scoring started, but Allentown's Maura Nutt tied the game with 16:18 left in the first half. The Knights answered with three quick goals, capped by Morgan Hendry's score off a rebound that made it 5-1 with 9:44 left. Allentown and WWPN traded goals the rest of the half, with the Knights leading 7-4 at the half.
In the second half the Knights dominated, taking advantage of seven yellow cards and outscoring Allentown 8-1 to improve to 4-0 this season. Those untimely fouls allowed the Knights eight situations of a one- or two-player advantage, and they scored on five of those opportunities.
"For us as seniors, this was really big game because Allentown's always been a rival," said Julia Tampellini, who scored three times and had an assist. "And, we've been looking forward to this game since we lost to them in the county tournament final last year.
"I thought we played well, especially in the second half where we controlled the ball a lot," she said. "This win is something we definitely wanted but we've got a lot of goals ahead and we've got to take it one game at a time. Now we've got to get ready for Notre Dame," who the Knights face on Tuesday.
Harpel sounded the same tune after the win over Allentown had sunk in.
"Our focus now is on the next game, and that's against Notre Dame," Harpel said.
"That's going to be a great game. Everyone loves Fish (ND coach Bryan Fisher) and those girls and it's going to be a real fun game, it'll be home and it'll be later (6 p.m.). But, in terms of the CVC, we just focus on the next game and playing our game and not worry about anything else."
Allentown coach Mary Ellen McCarthy wasn't expecting great things from her team this early in the season after losing 336 points (with the graduation of All-American Alex Moore and Ali Bulk).
"We had difficulties getting second-half possessions, but it's early in the season. It's good. There's nothing we can do about it now except go back to the drawing board because it's early," McCarthy said.
"We've been excited to play this game," North coach Beth Serughetti said. "I just thought we had a really nice flow in the second half after just an okay first half and in the second half it seemed like we had the momentum. Now we've got Notre Dame and that's going to be a very tough game, but we're just hoping we can keep this momentum and carry it over into that game."
West Windsor-Plainsboro North (4-0) 7 8—15
Allentown (2-1) 4 1—5
Goals: WWPN—Olivia Harpel 4, Morgan Hendry 3, Julia Tampellini 3, Carli Harpel, Alex Hendry 3, Catherine Mak; A—Kali Hartshorn 2, Maura McNutt 2, Sydney Quinn; Assists: WWPN—O. Harpel, Tampellini; A—Quinn 2; SOG: WWPN-28, A-13; Saves: WWPN- Eva Boal 7; A- Emma Timmons 10

To all who suffer: Isn't it ironic that President Bush is preparing to move into a $2 million home, while people he is supposed to protect are losing theirs?
He's leaving a country in shambles that he and Congress have let down. And Congress has the nerve to treat the auto executives like dirt. Shame! He who is without sin cast the first stone! I agree they could have used a little more sense, but this is about millions of Americans who stand to lose. I am proud to be an American, but I am ashamed of my government.

Whether our lives are spent in the home with partner and children or at work with colleagues and clients, a basic knowledge of etiquette will give us the confidence and the polish to mix at all levels and move between one world and another.
'Knowledge is Power' … when we know what to do and when we have the self assurance to do it, we are empowered. We need to interact with others around us in our daily lives; how well we do this determines our success in both the social and in the business world.
We all understand the importance of doing well academically at school, to find work that gives us pleasure but maintains the lifestyle we choose to have, but it is equally important to balance professional, business or academic ability with good personal skills.

It's always a little dicey to promote a running back after a date with the Raiders, but Ryan Grant has shown some juice in every one of his appearances. He's got decent vision, reliable hands and underrated power, and the Green Bay game plan does a good job of taking advantage of what Grant does well. It's interesting that Grant wears No. 25, because his game is similar to a former Packer who wore that jersey, Dorsey Levens.
Take away one long pass to Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer was left with less than five yards an attempt against a very pedestrian St. Louis secondary. The Bengals passing game hasn't been in sync since early September; at times these guys look like a bunch of studio musicians, each playing to different time in their headphones.
While Jamal Lewis gets a significant boost from the threat of Cleveland's passing game, I have to admit that he's got much more left in the tank than I figured back in August. He's not an electric back, but he'll get what the line creates for him, and occasionally some extra yardage on his own.
Tip your cap to Tom Brady and the New England game plan - even as the Steelers got to the pocket often in Sunday's showdown at Foxboro, Brady was cool enough to continually burn the compromised secondary. Nothing's more frustrating to a defense than to essentially have a blitz work and still lose chunks of yardage on the play.
The San Francisco run defense was outstanding for most of Sunday, not that most people will notice. Take away the one long run from Chester Taylor and the residue looks like this: 30 carries, 33 yards. Okay, I guess the frustrated Adrian Peterson owners out there caught on, but otherwise this is a story no one will spend a lot of time on. 49ers MLB Patrick Willis is going to be a superstar in this league.
If you're not sure about your offensive line and your protection schemes, don't head to Seattle for an afternoon. The Seahawks defense is ordinary when it travels, but Qwest Field can get downright nasty for any visiting club.
Randy Moss basically had Velcro for hands over the first 11 weeks, but drops have started to creep into his game along with the off weather. This critique dogged him back in the Minnesota days as well.
The Lions successfully took Terrell Owens out of the game Sunday and still Tony Romo had enough bullets to beat them, directing six extended drives and completing 80 percent of his throws. There's no one in the NFC having a better offensive season than Romo.
At this point it doesn't matter who starts in Denver's backfield - if Selvin Young is considered healthy before the game, he's the runner you want to roll with. Travis Henry looked like he was running in quicksand against the Chiefs.
Maybe there's a good reason why Sage Rosenfels sat behind David Carr the last two years in Houston, but I can't see it. Mind you Rosenfels will probably be a 1-A quarterback for the rest of his career - an excellent backup, not quite good enough to start every week - but he's always been more decisive than Carr, especially on intermediate and deep throws.
Philip Rivers still has mechanics that are all over the place. Occasionally you'll see him step into throws and make a nice chuck into a tight window, but he turns into a shot-put artist on too many sideline routes.
The body hasn't always cooperated for Plaxico Burress this year, but let's give him credit for growing up and developing into a star receiver, smart and tough. Eli Manning's accuracy was nothing special at Philadelphia, but Burress made him look good with several nifty catch-and-runs.
With Ahman Green out for the year and Ron Dayne battling a bad ankle, rookie Darius Walker might be pressed into work Thursday for the Texans.
Why the Jets won't commit 10 or more touches to Leon Washington every week, I'll never understand. But only in the swamps of Jersey do we see a receiver go from "doubtful" to "six catches, 119 yards" like Jerricho Cotchery did this week.
It's safe to say Kurt Warner and Bryant Johnson weren't on the same page at Seattle - nine targets, just one completion (albeit the one connection was a touchdown pass).

According to the Regina Leader-Post, Red Wings prospect Logan Pyett is about to sign a 3-year entry-level contract with the team:
May 15, Regina Leader-Post: According to a source familiar with the situation, the deal could be finalized as early as this week. Detroit needs to sign Pyett by June 1 or he'll be eligible to re-enter the NHL draft (June 20-21 in Ottawa).
That's not expected to happen.
Wings general manager Ken Holland has already gone on the record saying that Pyett is one of the prospects he plans to retain.
Detroit selected the Balgonie product with the second-last pick in the 2006 NHL entry draft (seventh round, 212th overall). The 5-foot-11, 198-pound defenceman has proven to be quite a steal, establishing himself as one of the WHL's elite blueliners.
Pyett would be a lock for one of Regina [Pats'] overage spots if he remained without a contract. However, when he signs with Detroit, he'll have an opportunity to begin his pro career next season with the Red Wings' AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins.

-->--{{tagline}} for the film
If ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429277/ Zyzzyx Road]]'' had existed when ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' was running, Mike and the 'Bots would almost certainly have critiqued it. Star/producer Leo Grillo was uninterested in releasing it domestically until after its foreign release; however, the Screen Actor's Guild imposes certain rules regarding foreign releases of low-budget films. It had to be released in America first... Therefore it was: in a one-week, one-matinee-per-day run at an anonymous, rented theater in [[UsefulNotes/DFWMetroplex Dallas]]. This February 2006 "premiere" holds the record for the lowest box office gross ever, at just $30. Yes, thirty. No, wait...$20. Two of the six tickets sold were later personally refunded by Grillo because they had been purchased by someone who had worked on the film.
Famous for its dubious record and for featuring [[Series/GreysAnatomy Izzie Stevens]]. Not actually a "before they were famous" role for Katherine Heigl, since it was filmed during the hiatus ''after'' Season 1 of ''Grey's Anatomy''. Not related to the 2005 movie ''{{Zzyzx}}'', which incidentally is the [[http://www.roadtripamerica.com/signs/zzyzx.htm correct spelling of the Mojave area]].

* MyNaymeIs: Although the town in the Mojave desert is spelt Zzyzx, the spelling in Zyzzyx Rd is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zzyzx perfectly acceptable]]. Zyzzyx is also the name of a genus of sand wasp.

It may come as a surprise to no one, but apparently the gender gap lives on in terms of the number of practicing female vs. male engineers as well as their perceptions of job quality in the field.
According to the National Science Foundation, women comprise more than 20% of engineering school graduates, but only 11% move into formal engineering roles, despite decades of academic, federal and employer interventions to address this looming gender gap. The Project on Women Engineers' Retention (POWER), a new study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) and funded with a half-million-dollar grant from the NSF, was designed to drill deeper and explore the factors related to women engineers' career choices. More than 3,700 women with engineering degrees from over 230 universities responded to the survey, according to Dr. Nadya Fouad, UWM Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology, and Romila Singh, UWM associated professor of business, both co-authors of the study.
The study found that one in three respondents were soured by the engineering field or left an engineering position because they did not like the workplace climate, their boss or the culture. In fact, women were more likely to leave engineering jobs or the field because of an uncomfortable work climate rather than because of family reasons, according to the findings. Nearly half of the survey respondents said they left an engineering career because of negative working conditions, too much travel, lack of advancement or a low salary.
Some key findings of the survey:
Looks like the field has some serious work ahead of it to train, cultivate, mentor and retain budding female engineering stars.

I'm Super Duper Syria
on the plus side, no bongos
We may be the world's sole remaining superpower, but there are still challengers to the throne, and whether it's Cold War nostalgia or a decade of well-publicized moral compromise on our part, I for one find it comforting that the commies are the bad guys again. Makes it that much more likely that the bloodshed can be ended by a lone catchphrase-spouting musclehead. Okay, that's definitely Cold War nostalgia.
Hey, so how're Bill Keller and the rest of the "Hillary for Veep" morons feeling about all this? You guys really want Biden minding the tinderbox? Because I'm not sure if y'all are aware of this—it may have been mentioned in passing once or twice—but the man's a bit of an oaf. It's part of his charm, but, y'know, maybe not quite the personality trait you're looking for in someone whose job is to stave off international conflagration. Hell, if he was Secretary of State we'd still be putting out the fires from his comically botched attempt to lie about our involvement in the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists. And I mean actual fires, like I can totally see Biden burning down the briefing room by accident while trying to distract the press corps with Zippo tricks.
Anyway, now comes the hard part: deciding what color to use for our Twitter backgrounds.
UPDATE: if you search for "Syrian bombardment" on Google Video, the sixth hit is this:
What was I saying about being a superpower?

Playing D fits Wolves to a T
What had been a major concern at the beginning of the season for the South Kitsap girls soccer team has turned into a major pain for opposing teams so far this year.
And before its all said and done, this years defensive unit of goalie C.J. Balstad, stopper Santerra Holler and defenders Maria Jose, Kaileigh Westermann, Ashley Polen, Sarah Milne, Taylor Prichard, Casey Wernet and Kristin Hunter may rank as one of the best defensive units in the schools storied soccer past.
It may be better than any of the teams Ive coached, fourth-year coach Eric Bergeson said. With three goals in 11 games (though Tuesdays 1-1 tie with Gig Harbor), that may be as high a quality defensive effort as Ive ever gotten to witness.
Things may be good now, but it didnt start off that way.
We started off rough, Bergeson said. Our first week and half of practice was difficult, and it involved some very direct coaching.
In fact, Bergeson had to sit his defenders down at one point and have a long talk that covered the teams pride in its defensive play, how his teams are always built from the back up and how so many players before had sacrificed so much to become better players.
I told them, Youre not it, Bergeson said. I told them in no uncertain terms, This isnt it. This is not South Kitsap defense and you better figure it out soon.
And as their record reflects, 9-0-3 overall and 7-0-3 in Narrows League Bridge Division play, these Wolves have indeed figured it out. Enough so that SK finds itself in a first-place tie for the division title with just four league games remaining.
I think I appealed to their sense of pride, Bergeson said. I know they have it they have it in excess. They just werent holding themselves to that same standard. They needed to know what that standard was and how far short of it we were falling.
Bergeson added that he might have gotten things going by giving the girls a little motivation, but they did the rest on their own by working hard on all facets of the game.
Bergeson said a large amount of the credit goes to Holler, the teams senior co-captain and defensive stopper, who is the backbone of the unit and the teams vocal leader.
But everyone in the backfield has shown improvement, Bergeson said.
Our biggest change is that we talk really well, Holler said. Last year, we didnt do that so much.
Holler said she and Balstad do a lot of communicating and help each other make up for their mistakes. But with so many young players Hunter, Westermann, Milne and Jose are sophomores while Wernet and Balstad are just juniors communication has been a big key.
I think we are pretty much all equal, Westermann said. Instead of having a few players that are ranked above or are higher than the others, every one of us plays just as hard as the others.
Bergeson said Westermann is a totally different player now than she was at the start of the season, while Jose, a physically tough and mentally smart player, embraced his philosophy quickly and responded to some of his more direct coaching.
Balstad, although not as vocal as Bergeson would like her to be, has been a virtual wall in the net, while Polen has worked her way from a member of the junior varsity team into a starting varsity role.
Milne, Prichard, Wernet and Hunter rotate in and out throughout the game, giving the Wolves a solid and steady group.
And while Balstad has made a few solid saves, especially one against Bremerton that kept the score 1-0, the defense in front of her has been good enough to keep her from having to make a game-saving save so far this year.
I havent had to make amazing saves, Balstad said. But a save is a save. We havent been getting shot on much. Weve been keeping it on their end most of the time.
Even though the Wolves have yet to lose a game and Balstad has recorded nine shutouts in 12 games and never allowed more than one goal in a game, everyone agreed that theres room for improvement. Holler said there are little things the team can work on, including better passing and even better communication.
I dont think were at our peak, Bergeson said. I dont think weve reached our pinnacle, but they have definitely proven themselves and built that confidence.

Some things are nothing short of shocking, and that was my reaction when I originally heard the news that former standout Ferris State University track and field student-athlete Leanna (Wolf) Geers was diagnosed with cancer and currently is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatment.
Leanna and her husband, Eric, welcomed the birth of their first daughter, Ava, in February 2010.
Ferris men's and women's cross country and track and field coach Steve Picucci is leading the way as his programs are reaching out to help Leanna through this time of need. Later this month, the Bulldog cross country teams will travel to participate in the Benefit 5K Run/Walk on Aug. 28 in Scottville in honor of Leanna.
The event begins at at 11 a.m. at Riverside Park in Scottville with a spaghetti lunch to follow at Mason County Central High School. There will be no entry fee for the dinner or for the race, but donations are appreciated and will be accepted to help with cost of the treatment. Participants will receive a wrist band and water bottle.
"This is an opportunity to support Leanna and her family in their time of need," Picucci said. "I personally was able to compete with her at Ferris during my career and I'm thankful our teams will be there as well for this important event."
This is an emotional time for those reaching out to help one of our own.
"We know how much Leanna loved Ferris and running for the Bulldogs while in college," event organizer Stacy Wallach said. "It would be awesome to see those coming out to run wearing a Ferris jersey or shirt as a way to help stand out and support Leanna."
To help make this fundraiser possible, a generous donation from General Mills in Reed City will help provide transportation for the Ferris teams.
we can all come together in support of Leanna, who was always a joy for
me in the times I had the joy to interview her (including the first
time when I wrote a story about her, Crystal Flutur and Jenny Irwin, teammates at Mason County Central and later at Ferris).

Welcome to the Cody Brooks Center
The Cody Brooks Center is the coming together of parents who have lost children to the raging epidemic of drug use, addiction and overdose. As a non-profit organization, our short-term purpose is to raise sufficient funds to accomplish our long-term objective: The Cody Brooks Centers For Health, Happiness and Education of Today's Youth.
Cody Brooks Center's mission is to provide at-risk teenagers and young adults support and wellness programs with nurturing environments; boarding schools where teens and young adults will focus on learning while living in a community where they are safe from drugs, degrading social and sexual pressures and threats of gang related or random teen violence. The children we seek to help most are those that have no one to stand up for them and protect them from the realities of a deeply troubled generation.
Our core philosophy is that there are no bad kids, just bad drugs and broken environments. We will work to re-introduce them to the world, to a society that doesn't need drugs to numb the pain. Our goal will be to help transform each person into an honest, ethical and contributing member of our society. We believe that kids do drugs because they don't have the skills, the tools or possibly just the will to imagine a world where drugs are a choice, not an inevitable lifestyle.But we need your help! If you share our concerns, and believe that we can and must make a difference, please donate today or contact us to learn more about how you can help us better the world and help our youth figh drug addiction.
How You Can Help:
The Cody Brooks Center is raising funds right now to build the Cody Brooks Center boarding school in Texas. Our goal is to raise $3,250,000.00 by the end of December 2012. Click here to help us and make a donation today!
Our Mission:
To offer today's at-risk teenagers support and wellness programs, a healthy environment that helps them discover life's happier possibilities so they can become honest, ethical, contributing adults.
Plans to Get There:
Once the Centers are a reality we intend to structure the farming and energy programs to sustain the costs of running the schools. Learn More...

CLIO, MI -- A valiant comeback effort ran out of steam in the fourth quarter and Clio pulled away to beat Linden, 55-44, in the MLive.com Game of the Week Tuesday night.
The Mustangs (7-1, 3-1 Flint Metro League) saw a 31-17 advantage at the start of the third quarter cut to as close as 36-33, but ultimately regained their rhythm behind the play of seniors Allison Kitchen and Breanna Pennington. Clio built its lead back up to 47-37 in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter and remained ahead by double digits the rest of the way.
Kitchen led the Mustangs with a dominant 27-point outing that was supported by Pennington's 14 points and seven assists. Tristan Bishop added eight points for Clio.
[Click here to see a photo gallery from Tuesday's game]
The game was an even affair as each team virtually matched the other basket for basket until a 10-3 run from Clio to close out the second quarter created the first distance of the night, giving the Mustangs a 28-17 halftime lead. Kitchen scored 19 of her points in the first half and was a clear mismatch for the Eagles defense throughout the game.
Linden (5-2, 4-2) played its best basketball of the night in the third quarter, where multiple Eagles players contributed in shifting the momentum of the game as Linden pulled within three, down 36-33, with 2:25 left in the quarter. However, turnovers mounted down the stretch for the Eagles and Clio capitalized, also earing 12 free throw attempts over the final 10 minutes of the game.
Maija Satkowiak led Linden with 16 points and Niki Sargent added 13 for the Eagles.
The win keeps Clio one game behind Holly for first place in the Flint Metro League standings heading into Friday's game at Swartz Creek. Linden also returns to the court Friday with a home game against Fenton.

Redmond hit with rash of wheel thefts since December
The City of Redmond has been hit with a rash wheel thefts since late last year.
Since Dec. 23, the city has had 14 cases. All cases occurred overnight and 11 were in apartment complexes.
"We suggest photographing your wheels and recording a serial number if one exists," said Redmond police spokesman Jim Bove. "…Otherwise, as with much stolen property, we have no way to confirm the owner."
He said unless wheels are custom made or the owner has etched an identifiable number onto them, there are no serial numbers, which makes it even more important to take a photo.
Once the wheels are taken, Bove said the cars are being left on cinder blocks, jacks or bricks.
Bove said suspicious behavior people should be on the lookout for include someone who appears to be rotating their tires, but are taking more than one wheel off and if there are other vehicles parked next to it.
"This would be understandable for a flat, but if you're rotating tires then you'd usually park somewhere there is space" he said.
In addition, people should also be aware if there is another car waiting around for the person "rotating their tires" to be finished.
"If you see any suspicious activity, whether related to wheel thefts or otherwise, please call 911 immediately," Bove said. "Trust your gut if something doesn't seem right. Don't get involved, just observe and report."
For more information about Neighborhood Watch as well as a brochure about how to store information about valuables visit http://tinyurl.com/89w35ev.
Bove advised people to record their belongings' serial numbers, model numbers and other information as well as take photos or video -- especially of items such as jewelry which don't have serial numbers.
"Keep this information in a safe place…in case something is stolen so that you can provide the information to the police and your insurance company," he said, adding that this place should not be a computer in case that gets stole as well. "This is valuable information that can often lead to an arrest when crimes occur."

Apogee is the first name that pops into my head when I think "mobile, Mac-powered music-making studio." Today, the company has revamped three of their user-friendly recording devices: the One, the Quartet and the Duet, upgrading their capabilities and making them all iPad-compatible.
The battery-powered One microphone has three input options — a built-in condenser mic, and XLR input and a 1/4-inch jack — and now has the ability to record simultaneously from two of those inputs (though one of those inputs must be the 1/4-inch jack). The gadget also doubles as a digital-audio converter, but prior to the new version the DAC only added sparkle to music played via a Mac; now the One will work with iOS devices too. Available in March for $350.
Then there's the Duet, a powerful MIDI input/output device that can now plug into an iPad as well as a Mac. The Duet works with most serious iPad music-creation apps like GarageBand, or Apogee's own Maestro, which has yet to hit the App Store. Available in February for $595.
Finally, Apogee has added 30-pin cable-compatibility to its $1295 Quartet, a beautiful brute of a device, with four-inputs and eight-outputs. The updated Quartet will be available in February.
Note that all these guys require the Lightning adapter to work with new iDevices.

Talk about a bombshell.
Alpena County commissioners were in shock Thursday to learn the news that County Treasurer Joelyn McCallum will retire at the end of the year.
After 36 years in county government, McCallum decided now was the time to retire and spend more time with her family.
We couldn't be more happy for such a wonderful and deserving person. Nor, could we worry more about the county's future with McCallum gone.
Make no mistake, McCallum is the glue that keeps the county together. As the guardian of the county purse strings, nothing gets approved without her support and if she senses times are getting tough, she quickly moves to have commissioners enact spending restrictions.
"Joelyn is an anchor for us and has meant so much to this county," board of commissioners Chairman Cam Habermehl. "No matter who takes her place, they are going to have some huge shoes to fill."
That's for sure.
McCallum is one of the most gracious, professional, and caring women we've met. She is a joy to know and work with.
She also is the best "watchdog" we've ever met when it comes to county finances. Frankly, she is a "bulldog" when she needs to be with other county department heads who don't "tow the line" with their department's finances. Many a department head soon learns that when McCallum makes a request, she means it.
We always felt comfortable that with McCallum in place, county finances always would be kept in good shape and funds never would evaporate foolishly.
We believe that will be the case as well with her successor.
Still, when you lose 36 years of experience, you lose a lot.

Mariners Care Raises Over $1.3 million for NW Charities
The slogan for the Mariners non-profit foundation Mariners Care is "a side of Mariners Baseball you don't always see." And it's true. The foundation and our corporate partners are involved in fundraising efforts each year, some more visible than others, with all the proceeds going to support primarily youth-oriented community service programs across the Northwest.
This year, the total for all Mariners Care activities was over $1.3 million. When you add that to the efforts since 2000, Mariners care has generated over $14.8 million to help a variety of charitable programs, everything from Seattle Children's Hospital to the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
We also owe you, the fans, many thanks, because you helped make it happen with your bids on silent auctions of memorabilia at Saturday home games, your entry fees to play at the annual Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament and your donations of new and used baseball and softball equipment to the Baseball Tomorrow Fund.
In 2013, the Mariners Care activities also include the All-Star Celebrity Softball Classic that raised over $1.2 million to benefit services for homeless youth in King County. The game, which will be an annual event, was staged by United Way of King County and the Seattle Mariners, with teams captained by Mariners Hall of Famers Dan Wilson and Jay Buhner.
Mariners Chair and CEO Howard Lincoln has set the bar high for the organization to make a positive and lasting impact on our community. For the last three years, the Mariners Front Office has reached 100% participation in the United Way giving campaign, and every Mariners player participates in and supports various community programs and causes.
"It's a side of Mariners Baseball you don't always see."

The regular season has finally come to a close and more than half the NFL draft order has been set. The bottom 20 teams are officially done for the rest of the season and will quickly switch into offseason mode.
Radio City Musical Hall will be the location where so many of these teams look to change their fortunes. While the 2013 NFL Draft is many months away, this is the first opportunity to "mock" with some level of certainty.
There a few things to take into account while examining this mock draft:
1) Team composition will change in the coming months (management, coaches and players) and with those so will the needs and priorities.
2) There are extensive evaluations still to come on every draft prospect; the process is just beginning.
3) The draft order is not fully set yet, so the last 12 selections are projections.

Indie media maven Cornelius Swart, former publisher of the Portland Sentinel and founder of the Portland Media Lab, will be spending the next year working with The Oregonian to foster partnerships between the paper and hyperlocal news sites and bloggers across the state. The program is being funded by a grant from J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism, at American University.
Cornelius broke the news on Twitter last week, and on his blog Wednesday afternoon. (He began the blog post with, "Greetings from the Death Star!" We'll resist the temptation to use our Sith powers on him for such insubordination.)
If you're a news site or blogger and want more information, read Swart's "The Oregonian to play nice with local bloggers and independent news sites." If you'd rather hear it from the man himself, reach out to Cornelius at firstname.lastname@example.com or 503-221-8072.
(And now we'll resist temptation again... to end this post with some version of "may the force be with you.")

Musician Ray Johnson writing about influences
From Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers, Ray Johnson is working to complete a first book. Beginning as a text on song, it has transformed into a biographical work tentatively titled, "... And I Owe it All to Bridget and John."
"The first kind of thing I came up with was 'A Breath of Newfoundland' and I was really kind of dealing strictly with music. As time went on and I was beginning to write more and I typed the song 'Bridget and John' ... I said yes, this has got to change. This got to be written based on who I lived with, what they passed on to me by means of a bit of history, history in story, picture and song."

From Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers, Ray Johnson is working to complete a first book. Beginning as a text on song, it has transformed into a biographical work tentatively titled, "... And I Owe it All to Bridget and John."
"The first kind of thing I came up with was 'A Breath of Newfoundland' and I was really kind of dealing strictly with music. As time went on and I was beginning to write more and I typed the song 'Bridget and John' ... I said yes, this has got to change. This got to be written based on who I lived with, what they passed on to me by means of a bit of history, history in story, picture and song."
Johnson has made the book about his influences. Some of those noted, like Robert Service, were popular figures. However, the bulk of those he credits with molding his interest in poetry, song and performance are locals. For example, there's Francis Colbert of Jobs Cove.
"Mr. Francis Colbert was a writer of recitations himself and 'Jobs Cove Rock' was one of them of which I would recite. But it was through him that I was inspired, like my mom and dad who were dancers and singers - he inspired me to go to recite other recitations beside what he had written."
Johnson describes his mom and dad, his adoptive parents Bridget and John, as his most significant influences.
Speaking with The Telegram, he is open about his adoption and birth family.
"There was five of us all together," he said of his natural siblings. "We had the same mom, but we each had a different dad and the only child who actually lived with our birth mother was my brother Leonard, a gentleman who died in Salmon Cove. He was on a holiday one weekend and unfortunately there was a terrible cabin fire. Him and his son-in-law died in that fire.
"I had one sister who went to Roaches Line at an early age and she died at 13. I had a sister who was reared up by Mrs. Brennan in Ship Cove. Myself, I was taken to Jobs Cove when I was three, but adopted when I was five - by the parents that I'm referring to in my book. And John Ryan, who I met after my brother died. I was soul-searching for a brother we knew of but couldn't make contact, but after Leonard died, we found John Ryan, who was living in Cape Royal."
Johnson's sister in Ship Cove was the only sibling he had connected with before the death of his brother Leonard.
"The only time I made contact was with my sister and that happened because, when I recorded my first album in '69-70, I used to get a lot of mail, especially from young girls. I was young then, of course. And one of the letters indicated at the bottom, 'Your loving sister Barbara,' and that's how I got to know my sister. After I got back from Halifax - that's where I was going to college - I made contact and found her."
Johnson had left home for the college experience. Attending the College of Trades and Technology in St. John's in 1968, "from '68 to '69 I took my course in commercial art and graduated and then went on to NSCAD (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design) in Nova Scotia."
Having developed a love of music and performance at home, "I recorded six albums in Halifax while I was attending college," he said.
"'Fishing in a Dory,' of course, you may have heard of it, became a hit song. This all started long before meeting with Buddy Wasisname."
The musician learned the business of music through his early recordings. They were lessons he would take home with him when he returned to Newfoundland in 1976.
"At that time, a lot of down east music was being recorded by labels like Art Records and Audio Atlantic - whom I recorded for. The sad thing about all of that was that they'd get you in the studio and sometimes ... the first album didn't have a chance to materialize in terms of selling enough copies to convince people that this was something worthwhile. They'd get you in and have you make more."
He estimated he made "at the most $2,500" from his mainland work.
"It was time for me to start waking up to the fact that if I do form a band, I get together with someone, that we'd look at royalties and we'd make sure that we weren't taken to the cleaners and give things time to materialize."
In part to supplement his income, Johnson taught part-time for three years while at school, before he left Halifax.
After returning to Newfoundland, he took an art teaching position in Glovertown. He taught at the school for the next 11 years.
"Of course, the rest is history, because that's where I met with the boys," Johnson said.
Eventual author of "Saltwater Joys," Wayne Chaulk, knocked on Johnson's art room door one lunchtime. He was aware of Johnson's musical experiences and the two began playing tunes together. Johnson said the two "found Kevin Blackmore" in town.
"We were asked, the three of us were asked, to do something for an assembly at the school. We got out and did our thing and it was complete magic. The ceiling opened up in the classroom, the clouds opened up and there was a voice that cut me in for 10 per cent," Johnson deadpanned, breaking into a laugh a moment later. "I can't put it any better than that."
The group practised in Johnson's classroom in the evenings, they began playing "little sheltered pubs" and, by 1984, were travelling to Gander and Clarenville.
In 1985, the group played in Toronto and were a hit with the crowd. A year leave of absence from school ran into a second year and, instead of asking for a third year, the teachers left teaching to become full-time performers in 1987.
However, emphasizes Johnson, he could never have been another feller without his home in Jobs Cove - without the influence of his rural community and of his adoptive parents.
"Because my dad was a musician himself, he was playing the accordion, it was from his first attempt at showing me how to play it that he went out and purchased an instrument for me and from that I was able to gradually get into more playing. And because mom was a dancer, both of them were dancers, you can see how all of this started to build up in that home from 1950 up to 1969, when I went away.
"If I didn't go to that home, maybe I wouldn't be what I am today. I might be off somewhere else in some other direction. But I think I'm blessed to have been able to find two people like that, who took me into their home and reared me up as best they could. And I want to share that story because I'm sure there's other people out there who were kind of molded or brought up the same way," he said.
Johnson said the book is set to be released by DRC Publishing sometime in early fall.

The Press-Register and al.com are counting down the final days (84) until the first Saturday of the college football season on Sept. 4.
LSU's offensive production can't slide much lower before the Tigers will have no choice but to reverse their current trend.
In 2006, LSU ranked 11th in the nation in yards gained per game. In 2007, the Tigers were 26th. In 2008, LSU dropped to 55th. Last season, the Tigers' average of 304.5 yards per game was good for only 112th among the 120 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
It was LSU's fewest yards per game since picking up just 301.8 in 1999. The Tigers had a 3-8 record that season, but they managed a 9-4 mark in 2009.
The other nine teams in the nation's bottom 10 in yards gained per game combined for a 19-88 record in 2009.

EAST LANSING – The developer of City Center II presented a plan for financing the $105 million development to the East Lansing City Council at its meeting Tuesday evening.
According to various media reports, the developer of the project, Strathmore Development, presented a plan that would require $20 million in financing through the city's Tax Increment Finance Authority.
This money would be used only for public portions of the project, East Lansing Mayor Pro Tem Nathan Triplett said, including a proposed theater, parking ramp, environmental remediation and other infrastructure investments.
Other funding includes an $8.7 million Michigan Business Tax credit, an additional $7 million in recent loans from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and $50 million from a private lender.
The proposed 5.5-acre development on Grand River Avenue would center on a ten-story mixed use building featuring the performing arts theater for Michigan State University's Wharton Center, 85 residential rental units, the 110-room Hotel Indigo and more than 30,000-square feet of retail space.
Students from MSU's College of Hospitality & Business would use the new hotel as a teaching laboratory.
Three other buildings would also be constructed, including a city-owned public parking ramp, upscale townhomes, an additional mixed-use residential building with retail space on the first floor and a four-story residential building.
At a special meeting Tuesday, March 27, the council will vote to enter into a "pre-development agreement," which will lay out the specifics of the due diligence process.
That would include what needs to be provided to the body, what reviews need to be conducted, and a deadline for making a final determination on whether to approve the proposed financing package.
"The pre-development agreement would provide a clean way forward, and a clean way out if the financing weren't approved," he said.
Triplett added that if the financing isn't determined to be viable, the council and developer will have to start at square one.
There are several possibilities as far as what would happen to the properties owned by the city and the developer comprising the project, but Triplett said any discussion of those options was premature.
The East Lansing City Council meets Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in East Lansing City Hall, located at 410 Abbot Rd.

Donald R. Pagano has been appointed to the District 31 Community Education Council by Staten Island Borough President James P. Molinaro.
Pagano, the president of DRP Electrical Contracting Corp., replaces Charles Langere, who died last month. It is a two-year term.
"Staten Island students will be well served by Don Pagano," Molinaro said. "I am confident that Don will bring vision, enthusiasm and insight to the CEC as we move ahead to improve our schools and create better learning opportunities for our children."
Pagano has an associates degree in applied sciences from Empire State College and is on the board of the North Central Kiwanis and the West Shore Little League.
"As an involved parent and the father of two school-age children, I am fully aware of the challenges facing today's educators, and what our students need to succeed," Pagano said. "As a self-made businessman, I am well versed on budgets and cash flow. I have successfully advocated for the health, education and recreational services that our children deserve."

Mass Effect 2 DLC on launch day
No waiting for downloadable content following the release of space-faring RPG Mass Effect 2, as BioWare has announced that add-ons will be available for download as soon as the game hits stores later this month.
On the official Mass Effect 2 Twitter feed, BioWare addressed rumours of day-one DLC by confirming that add-on content will be available free of charge.
"Addressing rumors: BioWare will not be charging extra for any new Mass Effect 2 content on launch day."
We don't know what kind of DLC will be offered, but since it's a freebie it likely will take the form of new weapons, abilities, or other simple add-on. Consider it a kick off, as BioWare has pledged tons of DLC for the game in the months following its release next week.
