ACE is your coach and partner in crossing the quality chasm to a more effective program. The necessity of organizing documentation to meet intensifying public reporting and benchmarking mandates is essential.
Christopher J. White, MD
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
Christopher J. White, MD, FSCAI, FACC, FAHA, FESC, Director, Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence (ACE), and Marc Shelton, MD, FACC, discussed the compelling reasons for ACE cardiac cath lab accreditation during the presentation Improving Care through Catheterization Lab Accreditation. Emphasizing that ACE Accreditation takes cath lab performance from good to great in achieving quality patient care, the presentations stressed the importance of meeting appropriate use criteria (AUC) in documentation.
ACE delivers unique programs that reduce complexity, engage physicians and assist facilities by improving the quality outcomes process. The value of this partnership is delivered through integrating best practices in patient care and, ultimately, minimizing lost revenue in the cardiac cath lab. "ACE is your coach and partner in crossing the quality chasm to a more effective program," notes Dr. White. "The necessity of organizing documentation to meet intensifying public reporting and benchmarking mandates is essential."
The audience was enthusiastic in their participation during the Improving Care through Catheterization Lab Accreditation presentation, which indicates the trend in the cardiac cath lab community to apply the outside consultative perspective of ACE. The real-time practice review and actionable follow-up recommendations focus on the key quality indicators that physicians think are important. "This is a call to action," said Mary Heisler, RN, BA, Executive Director, Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence. "Accountable metrics that affect all hospital stakeholders are here. It's time to get started on your quality journey in the cardiac cath lab with ACE Accreditation."

FUHSD Board Approves Enrollment Plan for the 2016-2017 School Year
On January 12, 2016 the FUHSD Board of Trustees met at Fremont High School and on the meeting agenda was an item for the 'Approval of the 2016-2017 Enrollment Plan for Lynbrook High School.' This was the first opportunity for the Board of Trustees to deliberate about FUHSD efforts to stabilize enrollment at Lynbrook High School in order to maintain Lynbrook's extensive course and extra curricular options that are the standard of the Fremont Union High School District.
At the meeting, FUHSD Superintendent Polly Bove and FUHSD Director of Business Jason Crutchfield spoke to the Board and provided information to them in response to questions that FUHSD has received from the public about this matter. Click here to see the PowerPoint from this presentation. Tom Williams from Enrollment Projection Consultants shared details with the Board about enrollment projections for the five FUHSD high schools. Click here to see Mr. Williams' PowerPoint presentation.
Following the presentation and prior to the public comments portion of the meeting, Trustee Nancy Newton put forward a proposal in the spirit of the need for the community to heal. She shared that without any malicious intentions, the FUHSD staff proposal has put students and teachers in the middle of an awkward fight and controversy. Ms. Newton confirmed that she does not want her proposal to be interpreted as giving into the bad behavior of some people in the community. That being said, Ms. Newton proposed the formation of a Districtwide citizen's advisory committee to look at FUHSD enrollment needs with the assumption that the advisory committee's findings and recommendations would be presented to the FUHSD Board of Trustees for the Board's consideration and approval for implementation in the 2017-2018 school year. Until that time, she suggested that FUHSD postpone all other attempts to stabilize enrollment at Lynbrook High School with the possible exception of a consideration that current 8th graders at Miller Middle School who do not reside in the LHS attendance area could attend Lynbrook High School in the 2016-2017 school year.
Ms. Newton asked FUHSD Superintendent Polly Bove to comment about the economic feasibility of such a proposal. Ms. Bove suggested that for the next school year it would be possible to backfill the costs of retaining the current staff level and funding the courses at Lynbrook that would otherwise be reduced for the 2016-2017 school year.
Sixteen members of the community shared their comments, recommendations, and opinions with the Board during the public comment section of the meeting.
Following the public comment section, Board members shared their opinions about FUHSD efforts to stabilize enrollment at Lynbrook and engaged in an extensive conversation about the wisdom of and questions related to different approaches. A motion was made by Hung Wei and seconded by Barbara Nunes and amendments were added to the original motion resulting in the following updated motion that was amended by Ms. Wei and seconded by Ms. Nunes:
For the 2016-2017 school year Miller Middle School 8th grade students whose resident school is not Lynbrook High School, but are currently residing within the Fremont Union High School District will have the choice to attend LHS for their 4 years of high school; siblings would have the option to attend LHS as well.
To form a district-wide citizen's advisory committee to study the enrollment needs of the district and all its aspects to provide a report and findings in order for the board to make decisions for implementation in the 2017-2018 school year.
For the 2016-2017 school year LHS programs will remain whole.
The Board deliberated about the motion and subsequently voted 5-0 in favor of the motion.
Following the vote, the Board shared their appreciation to the community for their interest in this matter. Board members also articulated their vision and hope that in the future there would be a greater spirit of collaboration and partnership so that the community and FUHSD could work closer together in support of our students and staff members. Our teachers and staff work extremely hard at building and developing programs, and a sustainable more stable approach to enrollment distribution will help to ensure that these programs and classes continue at all of our sites and for all of our soon to be 11,000 FUHSD students. To that end, the Board stated multiple times that they are fully committed to support the work of our teachers and staff.

Report From the Special Board Meeting on Saturday, January 9 at Lynbrook High School
The Fremont Union High School District was pleased by the significant interest of the Lynbrook High School community as over 1,000 community members attended the special Board of Trustees meeting held at Lynbrook High School on Saturday, January 9, 2016. The LHS auditorium was filled to capacity and community members who arrived after the auditorium was full were invited to the LHS gym to watch a live streaming of the meeting.
FUHSD staff members and Enrollment Projections Consultants demographer Tom Williams presented information to the Board concerning a significant projected enrollment decline at Lynbrook High School, the anticipated impact of this decline on the school, information about Lynbrook High School's capacity, and a review of enrollment options.
In order to maintain Lynbrook's extensive course and extra curricular options that are the standard for FUHSD, during the January 9 Board meeting FUHSD staff proposed that for the 2016-2017 school year the Board consider the following actions, each of which will be needed to keep Lynbrook's enrollment close to its current level:
- Offer families in the John Mise Park area (click here to see specific area) an option to send their student to either Cupertino High School or Lynbrook High School
- Offer a Districtwide open enrollment/lottery to complete the number of students needed to maintain Lynbrook's current programs
Following the FUHSD staff presentation, members of the public were invited to share their thoughts with the Board. Many community members, Lynbrook staff members, and Lynbrook students spoke about the impact of declining enrollment and their recommendations for the best ways to resolve the situation.

The FUHSD Board of Trustees next meeting will take place no earlier than 6:15 pm on Tuesday, January 12 at Fremont High School in the Shannon Theatre. The agenda for that meeting includes item 19.1 which is 'Approval of 2016-2017 Enrollment Plan for Lynbrook High School.' This will be the Board's first opportunity to share their thoughts about this matter and vote on an enrollment plan for the 2016-2017 school year. Prior to the Board's vote there will be a period of time allocated to hear input from community members.
If you would like to share your opinion and/or recommendations with the FUHSD Board of Trustees, please email Sue Larson, FUHSD Communications Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
FUHSD Staff Recommendation to the FUHSD Board of Trustees Regarding Stabilizing Enrollment at Lynbrook High School
In conjunction with the January 9, 2016 FUHSD Board of Trustees meeting that will take place at Lynbrook High School, FUHSD staff has recommended the following for the consideration of the FUHSD Board of Trustees:
In order to maintain Lynbrook's extensive course and extra curricular options that are the standard of the Fremont Union High School District, staff proposes that the Board of Trustees consider the following actions, each of which will be needed to keep Lynbrook's enrollment close to its current level. This recommendation incorporates the information from Enrollment Projection Consultants' most recent report (click here to see the EPC report), the FUHSD Board, Lynbrook staff members, and the community input that has been received.
- Offer families in the John Mise Park area (click here to see the specific area) an option to send their children to either Cupertino High School or Lynbrook High School
- Offer a Districtwide open enrollment/lottery to complete the needed number of students to maintain Lynbrook's current programs
Both measures will be needed to stabilize Lynbrook High School's enrollment.
Even though this is a one-year proposal, if the recommendation is approved by the Board then siblings of families who choose to attend Lynbrook for the 2016-2017 school year based on either of the two options may also attend Lynbrook in the future. This meets with the Board's desire to ensure that families have the option to remain in the same school. In addition, as has always been the case, all students who reside in the Lynbrook High School attendance area are guaranteed the opportunity to attend Lynbrook High School.
No boundary change or permanent change is being proposed by FUHSD staff members.
In addition, no vote will be taken at the January 9 meeting. It is expected that the Board will take action on this subject at the FUHSD Board of Trustees meeting scheduled for January 12 at Fremont High School beginning no earlier than 6:15 pm.

Special FUHSD Board Meeting at Lynbrook High School on January 9, 2016
On Friday, December 18 the above information was mailed to the residents of the Lynbrook High School attendance area and the John Mise Park area on a postcard. However, this special FUHSD Board of Trustees meeting is an open and public meeting and all are welcome to attend.
Enrollment Projections Update
Enrollment projections for the Fremont Union High School District indicate that by 2020 Lynbrook High School's enrollment will decrease to 1,569 students. This is a loss of approximately 300 students at Lynbrook High School in just a handful of years. We have learned that when there is a significant reduction in the number of students at a high school this can often result in fewer choices for students, less flexibility for when classes are offered, and reductions in elective courses and staffing.
In order to create a better enrollment balance FUHSD is exploring several different options to address this situation. Shifting enrollment from one school to another is not an easy task as there are legal, educational, and community factors to consider. Currently the FUHSD staff is considering the impact of several different approaches including an open enrollment lottery, existing FUHSD program relocation, a boundary re--definition (area of choice), and a boundary change. These options remain in the exploratory stage and no proposal has yet been presented to nor approved by the Fremont Union High School District Board of Trustees.
Included in that exploration is considering eventually shifting a small section currently in the Cupertino High School attendance area into the Lynbrook High School attendance area and beginning that process by allowing residents in that area to choose between Cupertino High School and Lynbrook High School. Click here to view a map with details about this area. This is one of many proposals being considered and this concept has not yet been reviewed or approved by the FUHSD Board of Trustees.
A Community Meeting was held at Lynbrook High School on November 16, 2015 to share information about enrollment projections and present possible options under consideration. Click here to see the PowerPoint presentation that was shared at the Community Meeting by FUHSD Director of Business Services Jason Crutchfield.
On November 17, 2015 FUHSD staff members met with parents and community members at and following the Lynbrook High School PTSA meeting as well as with parents from the Lynbrook High School Bilingual Meeting. A meeting with the Cupertino High School PTSA took place on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 7 pm in the CHS cafeteria.
Since our inception in 1923, the Fremont Union High School District has been dedicated to providing a rich, comprehensive education to our students and offering to them abundant opportunities to participate in a myriad of different academic and elective classes. Extra-curricular opportunities and participation in sports and clubs are also a vital component to a comprehensive high school experience.

Letter Concerning Attendance Area Information
Click here to read a letter sent out to members of the Lynbrook High school attendance area as well the the John Mise Park area residents, dated 11/24/2015.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does FUHSD want to add students to Lynbrook?
- Lynbrook's enrollment is declining, and it is projected to continue to decline. This year LHS has 74 fewer students than last year, causing a reduction in available classes. By 2020 we project that Lynbrook's enrollment will have shrunk by 300 students in a handful of years. In order to keep the course offerings and current number of teachers available at Lynbrook students will need to be added to the school over the next three to five years.
- Why is it a problem if Lynbrook's enrollment continues to decline?
- As enrollment declines it will be become more difficult to continue to offer the breadth and depth of curriculum and activities that Lynbrook currently enjoys.
- How are student enrollment projections made?
- Enrollment projections are reevaluated every year using the demographic firm of Enrollment Projection Consultants. These reports are posted on the FUHSD website. The methodology and assumptions used to make these projections are included in those reports. Enrollment Projection Consultants is a local company and also works with the Cupertino Union School District and Sunnyvale Elementary School District.
- Where can I find out information about student enrollment numbers at FUHSD schools?
- The demographer's report is on the FUHSD website at www.fuhsd.org/enrollment (look under Enrollment Projections & Capacity).
- Where does the California Department of Education get their FUHSD student enrollment information?
- These numbers come directly from FUHSD; the District sends the CDE the numbers that appear on their website.
- Many LHS residents prefer that Lynbrook's enrollment remains smaller. What's wrong with that?
- If LHS becomes smaller, students will have fewer choices in terms of what classes they can take. Illustrative example: Currently, there are enough sections of Advanced Placement courses, Music, and World Language to accommodate most all student schedules. But with fewer students, it is more likely that a student would have to choose between either AP Biology or French 4 Honors, AP Statistics or Advanced Choir, or be forced to make similar choices due to the limited number of classes offered throughout the school day. There simply wouldn't be enough sections to spread out choices for our students who have such an array of diverse interests.
- If my student is already having trouble getting the classes that they want at LHS won't additional students make that even worse?
- The short answer is "no", but a more full explanation is that it is not uncommon for students to have some difficulty getting the exact classes they want. This problem becomes more complex as a school gets smaller. The ratio of students to teachers is set by contract and is the same throughout FUHSD. Additional students mean additional classes and often more options for students to get the classes they desire. That is one of the reasons for increasing and stabilizing LHS enrollment. For example, at Monta Vista High School students can select AP Biology from periods 1 through 7 and can choose AP Chinese periods 1, 2, and 3. At LHS, students can only select AP Bio during periods 1, 2 and 3, and AP Chinese periods 1 or 2. With fewer numbers of sections, meeting the needs of individual students becomes more difficult. So while students at schools with larger enrollments will be able to take more of their first choices of courses, LHS students will have to make hard choices as to which course they choose not to take.
- Older residents in the LHS attendance area are selling their homes to families with children. Won't that do what it takes to stabilize LHS enrollment?
- The demographer, Enrollment Projection Consultants, takes this into account when they do FUHSD's enrollment projections. Right now that turnover is not enough to stabilize or stop the decline in enrollment. The demographer's report can be found at www.fuhsd.org/enrollment (look under Enrollment Projections & Capacity).
- Why can't developers and/or Apple be forced to provide funds to build a new high school?
- Developers are only required to provide developer fees. These fees are determined by law and are recalculated every two years. They are not adequate to cover the costs to build and staff a new high school or to purchase the land needed to build a new high school.
- Why can't FUHSD reopen Sunnyvale High School in order to balance enrollment?
- Sunnyvale High School is not located where the growth in FUHSD is occurring and it would take a significant and costly amount of refurbishment to bring it up to the structural requirements of the State of California for public high schools.
- Is there enough room at LHS to handle additional students?
- Yes, there is more than enough room to accommodate over 1,900 students. However, it is important to note that the District's main goal is not to increase the student population at Lynbrook; rather it is to keep it from declining.
- Will new buildings and/or classrooms be added to LHS?
- Yes, however these additions are not due to increasing enrollment. A new cafeteria, weight/fitness room, five to eight classrooms, student services center, quad, entry for the large gym, and a significant renovation of the Theater are all being planned using funds from the FUHSD Measure K Bond approved in 2014.
- What options is FUHSD considering to maintain Lynbrook High School enrollment?
- FUHSD is considering four options to create a better enrollment balance. The options include:
- A Districtwide open enrollment lottery for transfer to Lynbrook
- Designation of an attendance area that could choose to attend Lynbrook or Cupertino High School (Area of Choice)
- Relocations of centralized FUHSD programs to the FUHSD campus
- Making permanent changes in school boundaries
- FUHSD is considering four options to create a better enrollment balance. The options include:
Click here to view the PowerPoint presentation from the Nov. 16 Community Meeting which provides more information about each of these options.
- What is open enrollment and would it be a way to balance enrollment?
- Open enrollment is a lottery system that would allow students from across the District to request to attend Lynbrook High School. If more than the desired number of transfers is requested, a lottery system is used to determine who would be allowed to attend Lynbrook.
- Going with the open enrollment option will ensure that LHS enrollment numbers will be maintained. What's the downside of open enrollment?
- Assuming that 200 or more students apply to attend LHS, open enrollment will ensure that Lynbrook's numbers are maintained. Open enrollment causes increased traffic throughout the District. Many of the cities that the District serves have expressed concern about any option that will broadly increase traffic.
- What is an area of choice?
- It is a specific area within the District's boundaries where families may choose to attend one of two schools. In this case, the proposed area under consideration (but not yet approved) is the area near John Mise Park which is currently in the Cupertino High School attendance area. Click here to see a detailed map of that area. If approved, students could choose to attend either Cupertino High School or Lynbrook High School.
- How was the John Mise Park area selected as a potential area of choice?
- The John Mise Park area in San Jose was selected as an option due to the close proximity and easy commute to Lynbrook High School and that it is an area bordered by large roads or natural boundaries. The area also houses 200 students and this is the number the District is hoping to backfill Lynbrook High School with to prevent declining enrollment.
- What is the specific John Mise Park area that is being considered for an area of choice?
- Click here to view a map of the area of choice under consideration (but not yet approved).
- If the students in the John Mise Park Area attend LHS will Lynbrook's academic standing be compromised?
- There are many reasons for Lynbrook's success, including outstanding teachers and staff along with a wide variety of challenging classes and activities. Over the 50 years that Lynbrook has been in existence, many new families have moved in while others have moved out and achievement has remained very high. The District has no reason to believe that Lynbrook's academic standing would be affected when new students are added.
- How will an area of choice or boundary change affect my property values?
- There are many factors that determine property values. While District staff is not qualified to speak as appraisers or realtors, the District has no reason to believe that property values within the boundaries of our desirable school district would change.
- If I live in the LHS attendance area will I have to pay more taxes if students from the John Mise Park area attend LHS?
- No, your property taxes are based on the assessed value of your home, not the school attendance area.
- Why is it fair that someone who bought a house in the John Mise Park area should benefit from a possible property value increase because their students may attend LHS?
- There are many factors that determine property values. While District staff is not qualified to speak as appraisers or realtors, the District has no reason to believe that property values within the boundaries of our desirable school district would change.
- How will traffic be impacted if a change is made?
- One of the reasons that an area of choice is considered less disruptive than a District wide lottery is that traffic can be anticipated and more easily managed if the students are coming from a specific area. In the case of the John Mise Park area, students who are walking, riding bicycles, or being driven generally cross Lawrence Expressway on Bollinger and pass Johnson Avenue on their way to Cupertino High School. Having these students turn on Johnson Avenue and come to Lynbrook is not a significant difference in the traffic pattern and can be managed.
- If LHS enrollment stabilizes in the future will the area of choice be cancelled?
- It is certainly possible that the need for an area of choice to ensure the stability of Lynbrook might not be needed in the future. And, no matter what solution for Lynbrook's declining enrollment is chosen, FUHSD is committed to allowing students who start at either school to finish at that school, whether that is at Cupertino High School or Lynbrook High School.
- Has a final decision been made yet? Is the Area of Choice concept a done deal?
- No final decision has been made by the Board of Trustees.
- Will my student be welcome at LHS? Will my student be able to meet with a counselor before deciding about attending LHS?
- Yes, the students, teachers, administrators and staff are eager to welcome new students. They know that having additional students will keep Lynbrook strong. There will be opportunities for new students to meet with a counselor, teachers, administrators, and support staff to ensure that all of our new students feel welcome. Click here for more information.
- If I live in the LHS attendance area will my student be allowed to attend Lynbrook?
- All students who live in the Lynbrook attendance area shall have the right to attend Lynbrook. In fact, California Education Code 35160.5 requires that "No pupil who currently resides in the attendance area of a school shall be displaced by pupils transferring from outside the attendance area." In addition, FUHSD Board Policy 5116.1 stipulates "No student currently residing within a school's attendance area shall be displaced by another student transferring from outside the attendance area."
- If I live in Saratoga will I still be able to send my student to LHS?
- All students who currently live in the Lynbrook attendance area shall have the right to attend Lynbrook and this remains true for all LHS attendance area residents including those who live in Saratoga.
- Will the Cupertino Union School District adjust their attendance area boundaries in conjunction with the FUHSD plans?
- Fremont Union High School District has not received any information concerning Cupertino Union School District's plans to change their attendance boundaries.
- Why should San Jose have to be affected by the high-density growth in Cupertino?
- Lynbrook High School's student population is not being affected by the growth in the City of Cupertino. Lynbrook is declining in enrollment and the District is trying to address this issue.
- Why wasn't the LHS community made aware of the situation before the Community Meeting on Nov. 16?
- There has always been a plan to inform the broader Lynbrook community. There was a message from Principal John Dwyer on SchoolLoop about the information that was shared at the PTSA meeting last week and another SchoolLoop message from Principal Dwyer was sent on Nov. 23. Click here to read an article published in the San Jose Mercury News on November 11 and to view an article published in the San Jose Mercury News on November 25 click here. Information was also available on the Fremont Union High School District's website. A FUHSD letter to the entire Lynbrook community was mailed the week of November 30.
- When will the next community meeting take place?
- The next community meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 9:30 am in the Lynbrook High School auditorium.
- Who will make the decision and when will the decision be made?
- The Board of Trustees will make a final decision in this matter. It is expected that this will take place at the FUSHD Board of Trustees meeting on January 12 at 6:15 pm at Fremont High School. However, updated information about Board meeting agendas will be available at www.fuhsd.org.
- How can I best communicate my thoughts to the Board of Trustees before they make their decision?
- Email addresses for the FUHSD Board of Trustees are available at http://www.fuhsd.org/trustees.
- How can I find out about updates in this situation?
- Updates will be included on our website and the District is committed to informing the community about when the Board might take action.
As FUHSD obtains additional information, this page shall be updated.

What's the Big Idea?
"It turns out we're not the only species that assembles ourselves into networks," says physician and sociologist Nicholas Christakis in his Floating University lecture, "If You're So Free, Why Do You Follow Others?" Consider the slime mold, for instance. When placed in a maze with food at the end of it, individual amoebas will connect to create a sort of "super organism" capable of performing feats that no single organism could do on its own.
One mycologist, Toshi Nagagaki, found that the path taken through the maze by this "super organism" was more efficient than the path proposed by his graduate students.
"If you put oat flakes at the entrance or the exit of the maze this simple organism will change its shape and connect to the two sources of food by finding the minimum path length solution between the two points," says Christakis. "Obviously if you ask, 'Can this amoeboid fungus solve a maze?' the answer is no, but the maze-solving ability emerges as a result of interactions."
What's the Significance?
Christakis describes an experiment conducted by his colleague, Mark Fricker, in which amoeboid fungus was placed on a map of England, with "little oat flakes at every city." The fungus was able to create an optimal path through the country, that "actually imitated - and [was] in many ways better" that the human-designed railway network. But what, besides good design, is the point of a connected life?
For much of the 20th century, social scientists assumed that competition and strife were the natural order of things, as ingrained as the need for food and shelter. The world would be a better place if we could all just be a little more like John Wayne, the thinking went.
Now researchers are beginning to see teamwork as a biological imperative, present in even the most basic life forms on Earth. And it's not just about fairness, or the strong lifting up the weak. Collective problem-solving is simply more efficient than rugged individualism.
In Christakis' words:
Social networks are a resource that we can all use. They are a kind of social capital. When they think about capital, most people think about money, but really capital is any stock of resources that can be put to productive use. In order to create capital you have to invest skill and effort. You have to know something and do something - and you have to work upon the world and transmute it. You have the change the world.

Press Release
Governor Paterson Announces Request for Proposal to Assist Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
Subprime Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Services Program to Provide $20 Million for Education/Outreach, Foreclosure Counseling, and Legal Services
June 19, 2008
Governor David A. Paterson today announced the Division of Housing & Community Renewal (DHCR) is seeking applications from not-for-profits statewide to provide financial counseling and legal services for homeowners who hold a subprime or unconventional mortgage. As much as $20 million is available under the Subprime Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Services Program.
The 2008-09 New York State budget provided $25 million to the Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC) for the development of the Program. In addition to grants to the not-for-profits that are providing direct counseling and legal services to New York homeowners, the remaining $5 million of the funding will be used for training and support of those not-for-profits.
"Home ownership is a cornerstone of the American Dream, and part of a sound financial plan," said Governor David A. Paterson. "Predatory lending and overzealous mortgage marketing have contributed to thousands of New Yorkers facing default and foreclosure on their homes. This national crisis has put a strain on the ability of existing housing counselors, mediators, and other advocates to provide borrowers with the help they need. We must make more help available to prevent foreclosures and keep people from losing their homes. This program taps the talents and resources of the state's existing not-for-profit organizations and equips them with the tools they need to supply a continuum of services in every part of the state."
The April 2008 "Report of the Governor's Interagency Task Force to Halt Abusive Lending Transactions (HALT)" noted that at least 280,000 of New York's two million outstanding mortgages are subprime and approximately one in 200 New York homes are currently in the foreclosure process.
Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno said: "This program will provide families with the counseling and assistance they need to help them stay in their homes and is a critical part of the banking and lending reforms we are announcing today."
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Hugh Farley said: "One of the most important things which we can do for homeowners facing foreclosure today is to get them strong financial counseling and legal assistance. Legitimate lenders want people to be able to keep their homes and pay off their mortgages. Financial counselors can help families to restructure their debts and to build a strong financial future. Commissioner VanAmerongen and her staff are already providing excellent support, and these new grants will help ensure strong assistance programs throughout the State."
Senate Democratic Minority leader Malcolm A. Smith said: "This funding goes to help homeowners help themselves as we as legislators continue to reign in predatory lending and look to new measures that will break the cycle of home foreclosures. We need to halt the domino effect these subprime loans set off or it will continue to run its course until we stop it. While Senate Democrats work in the legislature to close the loopholes that allowed unscrupulous lenders to put these families on the verge of losing their homes, we praise Governor Paterson for bolstering not-for-profits statewide who can help in protecting homeowners and their life investments, their homes."
Senator Martin Connor said: "Building a smarter consumer base is key to stopping the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis in New York. As legislators we can close loopholes and strengthen the practices and standards of the lending industry, but we need smarter consumers who can protect themselves. Foreclosure counseling and legal services will do that."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said: "Putting the dream of owning a home within the reach of working men and women and then, placing them in situations where they could lose their home, is callous at best. Together, my Assembly Majority colleagues and I have fought throughout this legislative session to ensure that the cries of besieged homeowners did not fall upon deaf ears and that take necessary action to preserve our communities. I am pleased that Gov. Paterson has taken steps to ensure my debt counseling and legal services initiative was enacted. Far too many New Yorkers are struggling to make monthly payments while staring down the barrel of an interest-rate hike that they cannot afford and are not able to re-negotiate on their own. This debt counseling and legal representation will help prevent struggling homeowners from making the same mistakes and enduring the same nightmares in the future."
Assemblyman Darryl C. Towns said: "The counseling and legal services available through this program will certainly assist thousands of New York families suffering from the subprime meltdown to hold on to their homes. This program is a valuable tool for assisting homeowners as they navigate the rough waters of the mortgage crisis, but is still only a starting point. Much more can and should be done to address the fallout of this economic calamity, which threatens the stability and vibrancy of communities in New York. As a state heavily affected by unscrupulous lending practices, New York must lead the way in helping its affected residents hold on to their homes while putting in place safeguards to prevent a worsening of this crisis."
Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco said: "Providing access to these types of educational, counseling and legal services for homeowners adversely impacted by the subprime mortgage meltdown is exactly the right prescription to ensure people can keep their homes and avoid foreclosure. Giving homeowners additional tools and resources such as these is an effective way to make certain they have information necessary to avoid being further victimized by unscrupulous predatory lenders, or the vagaries of an adjustable rate mortgage. When people are hurting, government has a duty to help. And, with today's announcement, Governor Paterson and my colleagues have started the process of assisting struggling homeowners get back on their feet."
Assemblyman Andrew Raia, Ranking Member on the Assembly Banks Committee, said: "The extreme upheaval in the subprime mortgage industry has resulted in the 'American Dream' transforming into the 'American Nightmare' for some homeowners. I believe that when we can provide homeowners with the tools necessary to weather this mortgage storm, we have an obligation to do so, because nobody who works hard and plays by the rules should ever face the risk of losing their home. Not in America. I credit Governor Paterson for having the foresight to utilize a request for proposal process to tap the best and brightest in New York's non-profit community to deliver these crucial informational and legal services to homeowners struggling to stay afloat. Our message? Hang on, help is on the way."
Deborah VanAmerongen, Commissioner of the DHCR and Chair of the HTFC, said: "DHCR is coordinating with other state agencies and local organizations to maximize the impact of this program and make it work for homeowners. We've created a two-year open application process to best meet the increasing demands of this crisis and give our not-for-profit partners the flexibility they need to develop programs and assure adequate staffing."
Richard H. Neiman, New York State Superintendent of Banks said: "The urgency in the allocation of these funds clearly demonstrates the state's commitment to addressing this crisis and ensuring counseling agencies have sufficient resources to assist homeowners in avoiding unnecessary foreclosures. This initiative is a critical component in the state's multiple efforts to address the subprime crisis, including a sweeping legislative proposal to assist current borrowers at risk, as well as prevent a similar crisis in the future."
Priscilla Almodovar, State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA) President and Chief Executive Officer said: "These grants will provide another valuable resource to homeowners faced with losing their homes and will further the State's goal to reduce foreclosures. Grantees will tailor their services for each homeowner's situation because one size doesn't fit all. Some homeowners will work with a counselor to develop a financial plan they can afford so they can keep their homes. Others will need legal representation for what is probably a scary time in their life. I applaud DHCR and the other state agencies in recognizing the complexity of the housing crisis we face."
Eligible applicants must be not-for-profit entities with experience providing community outreach and education, direct housing counseling, mediation, or other legal services. Proposals for funding will be evaluated based on the applicants' experience and staffing capacity, the needs of borrowers in the area served, applicant's ability to demonstrate collaborative relationships for providing services and marketing services to borrowers at risk, and the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the proposal. Collaborative proposals by multiple applicants are strongly encouraged to ensure that all necessary services are available throughout the State in a manner that decreases duplication and maximizes the impact of public resources.
The program will be administered by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) and the Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC), in consultation with the New York State Banking Department, the Office of Court Administration, and the State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA). To assist applicants, DHCR will hold a series of Subprime Foreclosure Prevention Services Workshops in July throughout the state (dates and locations can be found at the DHCR website at www.dhcr.state.ny.us). Workshops will include a discussion of program applicant requirements and the funding process. Applicants interested in attending one of the upcoming workshops should contact Marie Goldston at email@example.com or 518-402-3231.

Starbucks Corp., the world's largest coffee-shop chain, raised beverage prices in the U.K., with lattes, cappuccinos and filter coffee going up for the first time in three years. The price of filter coffee was increased 5 pence (8 cents), while lattes and hot chocolate were raised 10 pence, the company said in an e-mailed response to Bloomberg questions. Other beverage prices were boosted for the first time in two years. While milk and energy costs gained this year, arabica coffee futures dropped 28 percent in New York. "The cost of doing business is going up, from wages to milk to energy, so our prices have to increase slightly," the company said. "Coffee commodity costs historically comprise less than 10 percent of our overall store operating and occupancy expenses." Arabica coffee futures declined to the lowest in almost five years today on ample supplies from Brazil and Colombia, the biggest growers while cocoa climbed 22 percent. European Union cow's milk prices climbed 18 percent in September from a year earlier, according to farm organization LTO-Nederland. West Texas Intermediate oil gained 2.8 percent in New York this year. Brazil's coffee crop will be a record for a year in which trees enter the lower-yielding half of a two-year cycle, INTL FCStone Inc. said in a report e-mailed yesterday. Conditions for the development of next year's harvest appear to be "good," it said. Farmers in Colombia will reap 10.6 million to 10.8 million bags of coffee in 2013, exceeding a target of 10 million bags, the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation said. A bag of coffee weighs 132 pounds. Starbucks also said it dropped an additional charge of 35 pence for soy milk, "bringing the price in line with our standard drinks." Back to news

MEQUON, Wis. – Michael Fahey has been named the Concordia University Wisconsin Men's Lacrosse full-time interim head coach, which was announced by Director of Athletics Dr. Rob Barnhill Friday afternoon.
"I am pleased to announce the hiring of Mike Fahey as our interim Men's Lacrosse head coach," Barnhill said. "He was here the last two seasons as a graduate assistant and has intimate knowledge of CUW, the Midwest Lacrosse Conference and our roster."
During Fahey's two years as a graduate assistant the Falcons went 18-14, posting 9-7 records in both seasons. In his first year (2012), CUW advanced to the MLC Tournament after posting a 5-4 record in conference play. He will take over for Jeff Roberts, who stepped down in August after three seasons of leading the Falcons to take an assistant position with Marquette University.
"I am extremely grateful for the opportunity given to me by Dr. Barnhill and President Ferry," Fahey said. "I am excited to take over and continue the winning tradition started by coach Roberts."
Fahey came to CUW after a distinguished playing career. He spent two years at Onondaga Community College where he was a member of the 2007 NJCAA Lacrosse National Championship team. Following that he played at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C.
Following his time as a graduate assistant at CUW, Fahey briefly was an assistant coach at Beloit College, a position he began August 1. However, coming back to CUW and the opportunity to be a head coach was one Fahey couldn't pass up.
"The time of this transition was outside of the typical hiring season for Lacrosse coaches so having Mike in the area and available was fortuitous," Barnhill said.
"I'm looking forward to getting the ball rolling with recruiting young men of high character," Fahey said. "It is an honor being back at such an outstanding university and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish this season."

Nope, these aren't people who protect you when it gets dark! We're talking about the night guards that protect teeth. Night guards are made of plastic and are like the mouth guards that football players use. You wear one when you sleep to keep you from grinding your teeth. If you grind your teeth too much, your teeth can wear down.

|A logo from #waywire's Facebook page.
In a move that plays to his strengths as a social media stalwart, Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker has co-founded a media start-up aimed at the Millennial generation called #waywire, reports Mashable. The announcement about the start-up has had the simultaneous effect of getting Booker back on the national radar and distancing him from his recent run-in with his own political party.
The Newark mayor has made national headlines on multiple occasions in 2012. On April 12, Booker rescued a neighbor from a burning building, a story that really caught fire on Twitter—where Booker had 1.2 million followers at the time—and in the media.
Though still in the development phase, #waywire is described as a social artery for news, inspiration and leading voices. It will serve as a network where you can "consume news, media, information, but also has tools where you can let your voice be heard," says Booker in a promotional video explaining the need for the product. The site will feature original, issues-focused video segments, including, on launch, a three-times-a-day newscast of no longer than five minutes, Variety reports.
To make his idea for #waywire a reality, Booker has recruited some partners with deep digital experience, including TechCrunch's former CMO Sarah Ross and Nathan Richardson, former CEO of ContextNext Media, reports TechCrunch. Richardson will serve as #waywire's CEO
Outside of Newark, Booker has become a social media luminary among politicians. While most elected officials use their Twitter accounts for self-promotion and a timely comment or two on a crisis or emerging national story, Booker is extremely active on Twitter, and commonly uses it to find and help Newark residents who are in need.
Whether or not #waywire's launch will benefit from Booker's social-celebrity cachet remains to be seen, but for Booker, the move is, at the outset, a smart one to reestablish himself as a national figure and further connect with Millennials.

Brian on WTKA Recap, 9/1/11
[Ed-M: Semi-official 'cause we asked him to do this after he provided a great recap last week on the board]
This is just me listening to the podcasts and typing up what I find interesting; it's not a word-for-word transcript.
First segment:
Offense. Wondering how little the offense will show Saturday. Will they stay just I-form all day? Last year's offense is not new so it's not like they need to practice that. Maybe that's the "vanilla" offense and they will save the I-form power play till ND. Hoke: First play will probably power! Brian sighs. Brian doesn't like "here it is, try and stop it" mentality.
Brian's tradition the first week is to watch Miss St. play a team with a horrid pass defense and still throw 6 INTs (but won't happen this year with Mullen). Talking about Michigan playing its first game during the week (App St on Thursday, for instance). Brian opposed because Michigan can get Saturday ABC time even when it's not a marquee game.
Jordan Jefferson bar fight. What are players doing in a bar during fall camp? Brian says we dodged bullet by not hiring Miles. Miami suspensions; some guys only out 1 game. Penalties fair vs. Ohio St. five game suspensions? NCAA has set list of number of games suspended vs. amount of money taken. Miami players had to talk in order to maintain eligibility. No one pulling a Dez Bryant and not talking; doesn't bode well for Miami's long-term future.
Brian's article on home-and-home matchups with marquee teams, and how it doesn't cost much to do it. Two bodybag games vs. home-and-home; $2.60 per ticket would cover it. Maybe Michigan shouldn't do it right now due to roster stability, but future would be good to see them play teams they usually don't see. Mention of next year's challenging schedule with Bama and Air Force. Brian would much rather have a home-and-home with Bama instead of a one-off in JerryWorld. Brian wants to see real games against opponents we don't see. Remembering the 90s with playing Colorado, Boston College, etc. All about the money now.
Second segment:
Craig Ross in now. Offense question marks. Shaw/Fitz at RB? Craig doesn't think it will just be one back and it will still be 4 guys playing. Really 5 guys including Denard. RB the one position group that doesn't have a clean slate when new coaches come in? Some talk about decision process among the new coaches. Talk about how new coaches making the same wrong decisions that RR did; Gibbons being PK and Gallon being kickoff returner, and how everybody was fed up with Gallon fumbling last year and Gibbons' kicking. Coaches figuring out who can actually play in games vs. just practice. Gallon didn't drop any in practice despite balls being kicked all over the place. Impact of new special team drills.
First call. Placekicking/Gibbons. Does he stay on scholarship if he struggles? Yes; we are not Alabama. Michigan will commit to him for four years regardless. Comparison to SEC with how we can have a kid on scholarship that has walk-ons ahead of him, and he can still be on the team despite just practicing and "being a part of the team." In SEC he would be forced to transfer.
Second call. How is Devin Gardner doing? How many reps will he have? Will depend a lot on the defense. Gardner has looked OK, but have to see. Craig says Gardner is better than last year but Denard obviously unquestioned #1.
The Hoke Friday walkthrough; Friday practice at 5pm. Not a hitting practice, just supposed to be an "intense walkthrough," a little more physical, should work up a sweat. No hitting, though.
Third segment:
Jake Ryan progress. Was 3-3-5 OLB, in this defense SLB does get to do vertical attacking/blitzing, but he needs to cover better. Cam Gordon ahead in the coverage department. Maybe Ryan a designated passing-down blitzer. Weird 3-man line formation with Martin getting moved to 7-tech Shawn Crable-esque position on passing downs for pass rush. Not abnormal for Greg Mattison; did it at Baltimore. Ryan had good camp; potential there if Cam Gordon struggles. Mattison stressing that he'll play a lot of guys in the front seven. BWC at NT? Brian skeptical; should be at 3-tech, but don't need to relieve RVB because RVB plays the whole game. Hard for Campbell to get playing time. How close is the defense to having a fully-rotatable two-deep with 22 guys? Brian says they have 15-16: the starters plus Jake Ryan, JT Floyd, Carvin Johnson, Nate Brink, and maybe Black. Don't have any solid depth at DT, MIKE, or WILL. Maybe Countess can backup at corner. Craig says they don't want a lot of rotation in the secondary (aside from nickel package), should just be the front seven rotating. Brian still big on Avery improving.
Is Western a good test for the defense? Should be interesting to see if they can get QB pressure. Western has two backup guards (and backup center?) playing.
Game predictions. Brian: 36-15 (12 FGs!). Craig thinks we'll cover. Ira looks back to how 2004 was the last time things went as predicted. Can't predict which is the hardest of the 3 rivalry games. USF vs. ND. Brian thinks BJ Daniels is awful; ND shouldn't have trouble. Boise St. vs. Georgia, LSU vs.Oregon. Brian thinks LSU will get crushed, will be in chaos on offense. Craig thinks Boise St. will win. Brian thinks Georgia.

Find More Science Experiments
Everything in the universe is made of teeny tiny particles called atoms. Some things are made up of just one kind of atom. A penny is made up entirely of copper atoms. Atoms can join together to make molecules. When a penny is exposed to oxygen in the air, the copper atoms of the penny and the oxygen atoms in the air combine. A chemical reaction takes place that makes a molecule called copper oxide – that is the dirty stuff that you see on the penny. This "stuff" is often referred to as "tarnish." When you soak the pennies in taco sauce, another chemical reaction takes place. Try this experiment to watch this chemical reaction.
- Dirty Pennies
- Taco Sauce
- Vinegar
- Tomato Paste
- Salt
- Water
- Small Plates
- Masking Tape
Put some tarnished pennies in a small dish and pour taco sauce over them. Let the taco sauce sit for a few minutes and then wash the taco sauce off the pennies. How do the pennies look now? If you look at the ingredients in the taco sauce you will notice that the main ingredients are tomato paste, vinegar and salt. Which ingredient affected the tarnish on the pennies? To find out, you need to test different combinations of the ingredients. First, try to polish the pennies with just tomato paste, just salt and just vinegar. How do the pennies look? Then, try polishing the pennies in different combinations of the ingredients: tomato paste + salt, vinegar + salt and tomato paste + vinegar. Which combination worked best?

Swede wrestlers gain experience at two-day dual invite
Gothenburg wrestlers competed against nine other teams in the two-day Nebraska Dual Invite at Columbus last Friday and Saturday.
Over the two-day tournament Gothenburg finished fifth in its pool with a 3-7 record. Millard South went 10-0 and earned first in the pool.
Overall, head coach Tom Scott thought the Swedes wrestled well and said he was satisfied with the team's aggressiveness in the majority of their matches.
Gothenburg collected a 3-2 record during the first five duals Friday.
"We had some good matchups in our favor," Scott said. "We did a good job taking advantage of them."
In the first day of action Gothenburg had defeated Malcolm 42-36, High Plains Community 48-27 and Field Kinley 48-30 while being defeated by Blue Valley West 57-24 and Millard South 74-6.
Scott said he was impressed with Tyler Miller who earned three pins in his first four matches.
Bryce Larson lost twice in day one but bounced back and won all five matches Saturday.
Skyler Kottwitz earned five victories Friday with a forfeit and four pins while Tyson Miller collected four wins by pin as well.
On Saturday, the Swedes hit a wall losing each of their five duals, although coach Scott said the team battled hard in their final two duals.
Gothenburg was defeated by Omaha Bryan 54-22, York 69-9, Norfolk 69-9, Neligh Oakdale 48-36 and Cozad 48-30.
There were some kids on the team that got some bumps and bruises, Scott said, but others stepped up and replaced them.
"Tournaments like this get a team prepared for districts and state," Scott said. "Districts is a two-day tournament and if you make the third day at state, you medal."
While its still early in the season, Scott said he recognizes the Gothenburg grapplers need to work on finishing and some techniques to make the team better.
"There is no giant answer to what is wrong," Scott said. "It's just a couple little things."
Scott added the last two matches of the day were wrestled better and more competitive than the previous three on Saturday.
"The kids wrestled their guts out against Neligh and Cozad," Scott said. "We have to get rid of the lull in the middle of the tournament."
Kottwitz, who was ahead in the match he lost, led the Swedes with a 9-1 tournament record.
Larson, who wrestled up from 106 to 113- pounds, compiled a record of 8-2.
Tyson Miller finished with a 5-5 record, while Jayden Miller wrestled multiple weight classes and ended with a .500 record.
Scott said he expects those that are injured to be back in the lineup and healthy for a 16-team Valentine Invite Saturday.
He added the goal of this invite is for Swede wrestlers to compete equally hard in their first and last matches.
This tournament has district implications as well, with six teams from the District B-4 competing.
"The most important thing at this invite is us winning against district opponents for seeding at the district tournament," Scott said. "If we can win head to head, that sets up well for us."
Going into the meet, Scott said the Swedes will have a mentality of running the other wrestler off the mat, being aggressive.

I grew up in the era of "At the Movies." I loved that show. I loved those two guys fighting over what they thought about each movie. I loved that they looked like regular guys. I loved that they loved the movies they were talking about with such passion. In a time before everything was decided by a tomato, a thumb up or thumb down meant something important.
What you always felt with Roger Ebert was passion. He loved movies. He loved them so much that he made other people love them. He gave movie writing a sense of legitimacy for entire generations of would be writers. Over the last day you can see the influence this man has had on movie lovers everywhere. Who cannot take a moment's pause reading Ebert's letter to a young Dana Stevens, a girl who had discovered that she wanted to write about movies. He gave her amazing advice. Take English classes, take writing classes, go to all the movies you can and write, write, write for anything and everything.
I think in this day and age when people blog about whatever they want, we sometimes for forget the work and skill that goes into the writing work of someone like Roger Ebert. You look at his writings, reviews, memoirs, anything and you know he had a gift. His writing was beautiful, so beautiful that it won him a Pulitzer.
Roger Ebert lost his voice to cancer some years ago, but he was one of the most present film people in my life through twitter. He loved twitter. He gave "good tweet" and it meant something. He was a man who had earned a certain level of gravitas for showing us through his writing what it meant to keep fighting against cancer.
I saw him once at the Toronto Film Festival about 2 years ago. He came into a screening with Chaz and everyone was in awe. It was like royalty had entered the room. There are not too many people whose job it is to say they like or dislike something for a living that earn the respect of everyone in the room, even people he had given bad reviews to.
Roger Ebert was one of those people. There will be no one like him ever again. To say that his voice will be missed is a profound understatement.

Grandmother Gets Custody of Alleged Burglar
NEWPORT CITY – Travis Parenteau, 29, of Newport, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of burglary, violation of conditions of release and driving with a suspended license.Judge Robert Bent placed Parenteau essentially under 24/7 house arrest in the custody of his grandmother. He can only leave the house in her company or to attend counseling. Parenteau's charge of violating conditions of release stemmed from him allegedly failing to abide by a similar order.The defense hoped Bent would release Parenteau into the custody of his father. However, Sarah Baker, from the State's Attorney's Office, argued that Parenteau's father has a criminal record. Parenteau's attorney Trudy Miller fired back saying the oldest charge was 10 years old. However, Bent didn't buy the argument. Bent told Parenteau's grandmother very clearly that if Parenteau violates his conditions she must call the police even if it means getting him in trouble.Dec. 5, Trooper Callie Field responded to an apartment on Harrison Avenue in Barton for a report of a burglary. Upon her arrival, John Moore-Lamphere stated that Amy Frost and Parenteau had broken into his apartment and stolen a number of items, including dishes and food. Moore-Lamphere was not present at the time of the break-in. A witness, Timothy Roberts, who lived upstairs, observed Frost and Parenteau carrying items out of the residence. He also noticed that some of his own items were missing, including coins and CDs.Court records state that someone cracked the door casing to the Moore-Lamphere apartment when they used a tool to pry open the door.Later, while parked by Frost's apartment, Trooper Callie Field observed Parenteau exit the Frost residence from the back. Parenteau, who had a 24-hour curfew on another case, was arrested for violating his conditions of release. Parenteau told Field he had been living with Frost since December 2. Field along with Probation Officer Art Gibney and Charlene Cook went to Frost's apartment. Field said Frost acted as if she had no idea what was going on and showed them a red trash can in her kitchen and food in the freezer. Field took the food to Danielle Bernardini who claimed the items belonged to her. Police also found some DVDs in Frost's basement that had Roberts initials on them.In a separate case, Parenteau entered a not guilty plea to operating a vehicle with a suspended license on April 10, 2011 in Newport.
