Kindergarten and First grade students identified as most highly capable receive services in their home school. This is NOT a self-contained classroom like our current Self-Contained Services - Elementary program. K-1 Services provide enhanced or extended learning opportunities in the regular classroom through a menu of options developed to meet students' needs.
Gifted services provided at a neighborhood school or choice school are designed to meet the student's academic strengths and social/emotional needs in the general education classroom. Through differentiation, teachers utilize various instructional practices which may include accelerating, extending or compacting the curriculum as well as altering the content, process and/or product in response to a student's needs.
The Self-Contained Services - Elementary program provides full day services to identified gifted students who are provided opportunities to engage in intellectually stimulating endeavors with peers who are equally capable of learning at comparable levels.
In the Self-Contained Services - Middle school program, students will receive academic services in Language Arts/Social Studies, Math, and Science as a cohort from teachers trained in and familiar with the needs of gifted students. The SCS-M Language Arts/Social Studies curriculum emphasizes and integrates the use of critical thinking skills in receptive and expressive abilities through the study of various cultural, historic, economic, geographic, and literary perspectives.
In the Self-Contained Services - High School program, students of exceptionally high academic and intellectual ability are grouped in a cohort in the core areas of English, history, science and math. Placement in each area is based on knowledge and skill level. In grades 10 & 11 students enroll in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program with the goal that they complete IB degrees at the end of the 11th grade The 12th grade curriculum includes internships, independent studies, research projects and college classes.
The Bellevue School District Self-Contained Services - High school program is the final piece in the Bellevue School District 2-12 gifted program. SCS-H was formed with the intention of providing a four-year high school experience that allows students with exceptionally high academic ability to be appropriately challenged while maintaining a balanced extra-curricular life.
For more information on the Bellevue School District Gifted Programs and for Eligibility and Applications, visit the BSD Gifted Education Website.


At approximately 10:55 pm, on Friday, August 2, 2018, Headingley RCMP officers began receiving complaints involving a vehicle driving northbound in a dangerous manner on the Perimeter Highway near Highway 3.
At 11:17 pm, this same vehicle was reported to be driving dangerously in the wrong lanes on Highway 1 near Elie.
Officers from the Portage la Prairie RCMP were notified and were patrolling on Highway 1 in an attempt to locate this vehicle.
At 11:40 pm, Portage RCMP officers observed the suspect vehicle driving westbound in the eastbound lane at a high rate of speed towards them.
The officers were able to avoid a collision and turned around in an attempt to stop the vehicle.
The officers lost sight of the suspect vehicle and approached the railroad crossing near Portage la Prairie, which had a train crossing at the time.
A vehicle was observed waiting for the train to cross so the officers pulled to the side of the highway to determine if this was, in fact, the suspect vehicle.
The officers were in their car on the side of the road when they observed another vehicle in their rear view mirror coming straight for them at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle collided with the rear of the police car causing extensive damage to both vehicles.
The officers were able to exit the police car and take the driver into custody.
It was later determined that the suspect had driven through a property near the tracks and made a complete circle and struck the police vehicle from behind at a high rate of speed.
Both officers and the 41-year-old male driver, from Winnipeg, were taken to hospital as a precaution and were later released.
The investigation has determined that the vehicle was stolen out of Winnipeg.
RCMP have charged Kenneth Martin Derksen with numerous charges including Theft of a Vehicle, Dangerous Operation, and Assault Police Officer x2.
He has been remanded into custody for a court appearance scheduled in Portage la Prairie Provincial Court on August 7, 2018.
Officers from the Portage la Prairie RCMP along with a RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.

The holiday travel madness is here. Millions of us will be hopping a plane, boarding a train, or hitting the road this season. Traveling takes us out of our comfort zones and breaks routines. You may live a healthy or eco-life at home, but when on the go, grabbing a packaged meal here, a disposable bag there, or a plastic bottle along the way seems unavoidable. Those single-use throwaway items add up—to an average of 4.6 pounds of waste per person per day, according to the EPA. Reusing and recycling is good, but far better is to reduce consumption and usage of those goods in the first place. How to do this? Be prepared!
A few accouterments make it easy to live sustainably and waste-free while traveling—and they can help with your daily life too. Allow me to break down a zero-waste starter kit.
Growing up, my mom would always pack food the night before travel, a tradition I continue today. She would prepare sandwiches in reusable cloths, pasta salads in metal tiffins, and fruit or nuts in natural fiber baggies. On the plane or train, everyone would 'ooh' and 'ahh' over our fresh food; a stark contrast to packaged, processed, heat-and-serve airplane meals. All it takes is a little forethought! And yes, homemade or store-bought food is allowed through security.
You can reuse those containers at markets and cafés on the journey too. If food is made fresh, just ask the staff to put it in your own tiffin or bag to avoid takeout packaging. Airport options are improving (case in point: SFO's Terminal 2 with The Plant Café Organic and Napa Farms Market), though nearly all of the food is heavily packaged in Saran Wrap, plastic containers, and Styrofoam clam-shells with plastic utensils, napkins and bags headed straight for landfill. It is also quite pricey, so bringing your own food is an eco-friendly, healthier, and economical option.
I have come to the conclusion that disposable plastic forks, knives, spoons, and chopsticks are wholly unnecessary. A simple bamboo set in a convenient carry sleeve (made from recycled plastic bottles) is the answer: reusable, durable, and convenient. These light weight, long-lasting utensils are made from a rapidly-renewing, non-petroleum resource that does not absorb flavors or stains.
Plastic bottles or paper cups need not be a part of your life when water fountains are commonplace and any café will happily fill your own container. I can get by with just one container while on the go if it meets four criteria: wide-mouthed, insulated, stainless steel, and has a lid. Why?
A wide-mouth makes it is easier to fill, whether at a hydration station, by the person whipping up a smoothie at the snack bar, or by the flight attendant with a water pitcher.
Insulation is imperative for piping hot coffee and tea on long winter travel days. You want the drink to remain hot for hours without burning your hands.
Stainless steel is indestructible, which is vital when tossing or dropping bags in various places.
Lids are a must to avoid spills in your bag and pothole or turbulence-induced disasters.
Reusable bags are affordable, convenient alternatives to plastic or paper bags while at the market or store and for your own items. We all seem to accumulate "stuff" while traveling—be it new purchases, gifts, or simply not packing as compactly as the trip goes on!
To avoid having to use mini toiletries in hotel rooms or to stay healthy on the road, bring your own bar of natural soap in a reusable metal box. That way, you don't use just a few drops of a plastic container before wasting the rest, and you can control what ingredients you are using on your skin.
Less waste, more happiness; that's the goal!


Markets have been relatively quiet over the last week as Chinese New Year holidays have kept investors sidelined, combined with a relative dearth of economic data. Underpinning sentiment the most, however, was the message from the Fed a fortnight ago that it will remain 'patient' and hinting that its tightening cycle might be coming to an end. Other central banks have also suggested more dovish outlooks, including the Bank of England, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of India which last week cut interest rates by 25bps. Combined with downward revisions to growth estimates in many parts of the world, the perception is growing that monetary policy normalization is being postponed.
A positive end to the US-China trade dispute later this month could also add to recent positive sentiment. Investors appear hopeful that the current 'ceasefire' in the trade war can be extended beyond the 1st March deadline when US tariffs on USD200bn of Chinese imports are due to be increased to 25% from 10%. Trade talks between the two sides will resume in Beijing this week, less than three weeks before the current 'truce' expires.
With the Chinese Purchasing Manager's data pointing towards recession the markets need to see a resolution to this issue in order to prevent a more dramatic decline in business confidence. In the short term they probably also need to see a successful outcome from the US bi-partisan Congressional committee talks on border security, in order that another US government shutdown can be avoided. The temporary funding deal is due to expire on Friday of this week and the outcome will depend on whether President Trump will accept the recommendations of the committee. The Democrats are unlikely to agree to fund Trump's border wall which, given Trump's recent comments would suggest a new shutdown could still be on its way. US December retail sales, which were delayed by the last shutdown will be the data highlight of the week, alongside data on inflation and industrial production.

AFT Mulls Officially Abandoning Support for Common Core
By Sandy Fitzgerald | Friday, 11 July 2014 04:02 PM
A vote on Sunday could lead to the American Federation of Teachers backing away from Common Core standards, despite having been a staunch supporter of the controversial program for years.
The union plans to underwrite grants from $20,000 to $30,000 to encourage teachers to design projects to rewrite and improve the standards, AFT President Randi Weingarten plans to announce at the union's annual convention Friday, reports Time.
AFT hasn't yet opposed Common Core, but Weingarten said the option hasn't been ruled out. On Sunday, an hour-long open debate is planned, which may end in a vote officially condemning Common Core in its entirety.
Local chapters have been calling for the AFT to end its support for Common Core, and while that hasn't quite happened, the union has been distancing itself from standards the Obama administration emphasizes as its key priority for education.
Common Core has also sparked in-fighting among Republicans. More than five years after U.S. governors began a bipartisan effort to set new standards in American schools, the Common Core initiative has morphed into a political tempest fueling division among Republicans.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce leads establishment voices — such as possible presidential contender Jeb Bush — who hail the standards as a way to improve student performance and, over the long term, competitiveness of American workers.
Many archconservatives — tea party heroes Rand Paul and Ted Cruz among them — decry the system as a top-down takeover of local schools. The standards were developed and are being implemented by states, though Common Core opponents argue that President Barack Obama's administration has encouraged adoption of the standards by various parameters it set for states applying to get lucrative federal education grants.
Even if the AFT backs away completely from Common Core, that doesn't mean the standards will be over thrown completely. But Michael Brickman, the national policy director at Fordham Institute, said Common Core state policy directors could be affected, and states could choose not to tie the standards to teacher and student evaluations.
"It's one thing to have really great standards on paper, but if they're not tied to anything meaningful in terms of accountability, not a lot is going to improve," he said.
And backers have said the union support validates Common Core, and if the policy if repudiated, it would reflect most teachers' opinions.
"We do know that it's a significant shift," said Amy Hyslop, a policy analyst at New America Foundation who works on Common Core told Time. "The AFT has objected to using the tests for evaluations, but this is first time they've been critical of the standards themselves."
The AFT has also not ruled out joining in the National Education Association's demand for the resignation of Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
The unions, which at one time had backed Common Core and President Barack Obama, have been backing away from both for some time. Common Core, they said, was too difficult to implement and also complains companies profit from the reworked tests and books.
Also, the policy ties student process to teacher performance evaluations, and also grades student performance based on Common Core test scores.
The AFT has also called in the past to repeal another federal law, No Child Left Behind, which was passed during the Bush administration to mandate annual tests for elementary and middle school children.
Common Core does not require such tests, but instead more hands-on problem solving. Further, the standards describe what all students are expected to know.
Originally, 45 states and the District of Columbia adopted the standards, but several have dropped them. Meanwhile, Common Core will be completely implemented this school year,
Time reports, with evaluations for teachers and students linked in for 2015-2016.

PREMIÈRE: The Whole Body Moves on 'Manos', Latest Video from Colombia's Mente Orgánica
By David Bugueño | 16 January, 2020
As folklore began to take a greater part of the South American landscape in electronic, fresh independent labels surfaced along the continent to facilitate the trend. Fértil Discos, from Buenos Aires, is one example. Run by El Remolón, it has become a hub for well known Argentineans like Barda and Jin Yerei, but has also hosted music by neighbours like Chile's Derrok and the debut album from Colombia's Mente Orgánica.
At a young age, Bogotano artist Jacobo Polania released his first track as Mente Orgánica on a Fértil Discos compilation in 2017. That song was "Manos", which was also included on his first full length album on the label, Ojos, in 2018. Now the visual experience for the track, full of body movements and contortions, comes to close this first stage of his project and heralds the arrival of his second LP via Fertil Discos, due in the the first half of 2020.

Could Canadian Pharmacies Be The New Gatekeepers For Medical Marijuana?
Tess Allen
Research has shown that pharmacists are among the most trusted professionals in North America, so it makes sense that they're inundated with questions about medical marijuana from curious patients on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, answering those questions isn't always easy – particularly when you've received no formal training on the subject.
Enter Maricann.
The Ontario-based licensed medical marijuana producer is partnering with one of the country's largest retail pharmacy services providers to create a program that will enable pharmacists to counsel and educate patients about medical marijuana.
"Pharmacists are the go-to professionals when it comes to trust relationships and healthcare management ... Every day there are patients in pharmacies asking for information about medical marijuana, and most pharmacists are not effectively trained [to answer them]," Terry Fretz, the president of Maricann, told Civilized.
"Patients' needs aren't being met ... because of this gap in information for both patients and healthcare professionals."
"Pharmacists have the intellectual capacity, the professional capacity, and the presence in all towns and cities large and small coast to coast, to be able to effectively satisfy what patients are looking for."
In collaboration with pharmacy officials, Maricann will develop product and patient education materials, dosing protocols and information on cannabis strains and their interactions with other medications.
The joint initiative, according to a Maricann press release, aims to position pharmacies as the "preferred access point for medicinal cannabis based on pharmacists' critical role in working with physicians and patients in understanding the multi-synchronistic opportunities in multi-medication patients."
The educational program is set to launch later this fall, said Fretz – well ahead of the federal government's deadline for recreational cannabis legalization on July 1, 2018.
It's not yet clear what relationship the two so-called "streams" – medical and recreational – will have once recreational legalization rolls out. While a recommendation proposed by the Liberal government's task force on cannabis legalization called for the two streams to be separate, the Canadian Medical Association recommends just one stream.
For his part, Fretz "fully anticipates a bifurcated market" – in other words, Canada's medical marijuana market will continue to thrive and expand amid recreational legalization.
"It's quite obvious that cannabis has a real and meaningful role to play in managing patients' health and welfare. That will continue," said Fretz.
"We continue to look at product formulation, new product delivery systems and opportunities to enhance the performance of products in the medical context.
"We also [wish to] continue to provide product formats that are more traditional with the healthcare practitioners, be that capsules or eventually patch technology and other delivery systems that the prescribing physician, the dispensing pharmacist and the patient are comfortable with."
Mail order is currently the only legal distribution method for medical marijuana in Canada, which Fretz said comes with its own set of problems for patients – chief of which is the inability to speak with a "credible counsellor on the street" about their new medication.
At least one massive Canadian pharmacy chain, Shoppers Drug Mart, has formally applied to distribute medical marijuana, while medical marijuana producer CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. recently signed an agreement to have their products distributed exclusively by PharmaChoice if such a model is legalized.
While it hasn't been revealed which pharmacy chain Maricann will be working with for this program, the LP said they are also engaged in "active dialogue" with other parties and a major announcement is "imminent."
TIME magazine has just released the newest iteration of their '25 Most Influential People on the Internet' list. And while for most of these people cannabis policy reform isn't their key concern, most of them have still voiced their views on the matter. And when you have this much clout, even an off-hand comment can go a long way towards shaping people's opinions.

Ellen Rosenblum is sworn in as attorney general for the state of Oregon on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017.
Conrad Wilson / OPB
The Washington County district attorney's office announced Monday it would turn over the investigation of a deadly police shooting that raised "concerns" to the Oregon Department of Justice. That leaves it up to the state to determine whether to bring criminal charges against the officer involved.
On Jan. 6, former Tigard Police Officer Gabriel Maldonado shot and killed Jacob Ryan Macduff, 26, during what Tigard police said was a domestic violence call. Macduff's roommate, friends and mother all said he was experiencing a mental health crisis.
District Attorney Kevin Barton said his decision to involve the state attorney general stemmed from one of the new policing reforms passed by the Oregon Legislature last summer amid historic protests following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.
"I am requesting the Attorney General's Office review the investigation and make the determination regarding criminal responsibility," Barton wrote. "Your review of the evidence and application of HB 4301 to that evidence will provide the independent evaluation I believe is necessary, given the concerns I have developed regarding this incident."
The request means an assistant attorney general will be named as a special deputy district attorney for Washington County.
Barton declined to comment and did not elaborate on what concerns his office's own investigation raised. A spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Justice didn't return a request for comment late Monday.
House Bill 4301, signed into law by Gov. Kate Brown on Sept. 1, made changes to how officers are allowed to use deadly force. The law restricts the use of chokeholds only to situations where deadly force would be authorized. It also effectively requires law enforcement to slow down before using force if the situation permits. It requires officers "consider alternatives" to physical and deadly force and mandates officers give a verbal warning and a reasonable opportunity to comply before using force if "a reasonable opportunity to do so exists."
During the Jan. 6 shooting, Tigard police said Macduff was locked in his truck with a knife when they arrived. In the process of trying to arrest him, a scuffle ensued and Maldonado shot and killed Macduff.
In an April 22 statement, Macduff's mother, Maria Macduff, said her son became scared when police arrived and hid in his truck, which was registered to Maria Macduff. When police called and asked her for permission to break the window, she said she granted permission but cautioned them that he was in a fragile mental state, and that they should be gentle with him.
Immediately following the shooting, Maldonado was placed on critical incident leave pending an investigation. More than two months before the shooting, Maldonado was offered a job at the Port of Portland Police Department, but the shooting paused the hiring process.
Tigard Police Chief Kathy McAlpine allowed him to return to work on Feb. 23 despite the ongoing investigation. Maldonado resigned from Tigard Police Department on April 15 and started with the Port of Portland Police on April 19.
The Port of Portland only became aware of the ongoing criminal investigation after OPB first reported Maldonado's status.
He has since been placed back on administrative leave.
The investigation into Macduff's killing was conducted by the Washington County Major Crimes Team. On April 27, the same day OPB reported that Maldonado had started with a new department while still under criminal investigation, the team of investigators turned their findings over to the district attorney's office.

Two of CAI's Volleyball Alumni are Back on the Court as Teammates Again!
In what is probably a first in the history of CAI athletics (and Graceland Christian Schools before that), two former CAI teammates are now competing together on the same NCAA Division 1 team.
Krista Boesing (CAI class of 2015) and Sierra Rayzor (CAI class of 2017), both four-year starters on the CAI volleyball team, are now playing for the Samford University Bulldogs in the Southern Conference.
Samford University kicked off their 2017 season at The Courtyard by Marriott Invitational in Birmingham, AL. Both Rayzor and Boesing were starters in all three matches played over the two day event. Rayzor led the team in blocks with 15 and Boesing led the team in kills with 49. Boesing was named to the All-Tournament Team.
At CAI, Rayzor was on the 2015 IHSAA state championship team, as well as being a two-time state finalist in 2014 and 2016. Boesing was a state finalist in 2014.
Samford University won the Southern Conference Tournament last year and received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. They lost in the first round to the fourth seeded University of Kansas Jayhawks.

Mario Lopez: Why Hollywood Won't Cast Him Anymore
By Brian Boone/Updated: April 24, 2019 1:46 pm EST
Mario Lopez broke out on the acting scene as high school wrestler/military brat A.C. Slater on the 1989 cheese-tastic Saturday morning sitcom Saved by the Bell. He quickly became a teen idol-turned-sex symbol ... despite playing a "male chauvinist pig" and pairing parachute jeans with a hairstyle that was one part mullet and one part Jheri Curl. (Ah, the '90s!) Still, Lopez was really charismatic and had a great smile, so that certainly helped, as did the extreme popularity of his show about the low-stakes happenings at Bayside High.
After Saved by the Bell ended in 1993 — and its short-lived college years-based spinoff, Saved by the Bell: The College Years, bit the dust — Lopez went on to work consistently in television. The only problem is that a lot of his shows quickly disappeared and were easily forgotten. Here's a deep dive into why nobody in Hollywood wants the drummer from the Zack Attack to headline their projects anymore.
Forever Slater
For many viewers and probably casting agents, Mario Lopez and A.C. Slater were one and the same. The people who put TV shows and movies together may have a hard time taking Lopez seriously, or, at the very least, separating him from his character and his work on a show that is the mental image most people conjure when they think of the early 1990s. After all, Lopez still fields questions about a possible reboot/reunion show, like he did in this November 2018 interview with Hollywood Life.
And while Saved by the Bell was a popular show, it wasn't exactly a Peabody Award-winning masterpiece. Casting agents probably never gave Lopez much of a chance to prove that he could do more than play a high school archetype (though one who could dance and threaten preppies). But hey, at least he had one big role, and he had it young, which is something most actors work their whole lives to achieve.
He flipped the script
Lopez mostly hosts things these days. That's not a bad career trajectory — smile, speak clearly, and guide the audience through one televised beauty pageant or entertainment news show after another. It's good for Lopez's bank account that he found his niche, because his history in the world of scripted, dramatic programming is such that producers may not want him to be part of their scripted, dramatic programming anymore.
After Saved by the Bell dominated Saturday morning TV (and teeny-bopper magazines) from 1989 to 1993, NBC took a gamble and moved the show to primetime ... and most of the characters to college. Either the new time slot or the locale change (or both) put off audiences, and Lopez's stint on Saved by the Bell: The College Years ended after only 19 episodes.
After that, the hunky, good-looking actor naturally found a spot in one of the mid-'90s' many Baywatch knockoffs. On the USA Network's Pacific Blue, Lopez played a beachside bike patrol cop. The show lasted for five seasons with Lopez starring in just two. Lopez then moved on to the long-running soap The Bold and the Beautiful, but he was out of there after 46 episodes, which is nothing for a soap.
A lack of available Hollywood roles
Despite its corny jokes, hackneyed plot lines, and two-dimensional characters, one thing you can say about Saved by the Bell was that it was organically and casually diverse in an era where TV was still predominantly white. Of the "Bayside Six," two were portrayed by people of color: Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle) and A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez). Unfortunately, the rest of Hollywood took a while to get less white, which left Latino actors on the sidelines.
It's very possible that Lopez hasn't done as much dramatic work as, say, his Saved by the Bell cohort Mark-Paul Gosselaar because there just aren't that many roles for Latino performers. A 2016 study by the Media, Diversity, and Social Change Initiative (under the banner of USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism) found that Latinos are among the least-represented cultural groups on TV and in movies. Out of more than 11,000 speaking characters studied, just 5.8 percent were of Hispanic or Latino descent.
Grease is the word
Lopez does occasionally get a break in the TV biz — sometimes thanks to colorblind casting. Lopez had a prominent cameo in Fox's live production of the musical Grease as fictional, '50s-era celebrity host Vince Fontaine. (As a former teen dream, Lopez was an inspired choice; Edd Byrnes, a 1950s teen idol, played Vince Fontaine in 1978's big-screen Grease.) Fontaine comes to Rydell High to tape an episode of his popular dance TV show — which means that Lopez, a TV host by trade, portrayed a TV host, i.e., the 1950s version of Mario Lopez.
Also, Fontaine is an unabashed womanizer who shamelessly hit on underage girls during his show's shoot in a high school gymnasium. That's a little awkward and unfortunate, considering Lopez's history of inappropriate behavior, such as his past infidelity and an alleged rape from his Saved by the Bell days. (More on those things below.) But hey, work is work.
From TV for children to adult affairs
It may seem like a sex or relationship scandal negatively affecting a celebrity's livelihood sounds like something out of the 1930s, when studios aggressively controlled the lives of their "contract players" and had huge staffs on hand to bury even the faintest whiff of career-tainting (and box-office-threatening) scandal. But in today's world of rapidly disseminating information and demand for celebrity/entertainment news, when a famous person messes up, they're quickly tried and "convicted" in the court of public opinion. Doing something dumb, gross, or downright horrifying can limit or end a career — and that might be what could have happened with Mario Lopez. What studio would risk the bad publicity by actively walking into the darkened orbit of a guy who was accused of rape on his first major gig ... and who cheated on his celebrity fiancée just a few days before his wedding?
Yep, Mario Lopez did that. In 2004, Lopez married model and actress Ali Landry (best known as the pretty face representing Doritos), only for the whole thing to end in an annulment just two weeks later. Rumor had it that Lopez had cheated, which he confirmed to Howard Stern in 2011 (via Us Magazine), saying he "messed around" with a woman he met during his bachelor party festivities. "That was a situation where I was not mature and man enough," he said.
Extra! Extra! (He's on Extra)
The funny thing about Mario Lopez's career is that you can see the guy on TV every weekday if you want to, and you've been able to do that for a decade. Lopez has hosted Extra, one of America's many nationally syndicated celebrity news shows, for ten seasons. And that's not even counting his time hosting the show's weekend edition.
It's not the only show of its kind — there's Daily Mail TV, Page Six TV, Entertainment Tonight, and Access Hollywood — but Extra is the only light news program that features the relentlessly sunny and energetic Saved by the Bell star Mario Lopez providing the latest information on movies, TV, and trends. It's also the only one which films outdoors in the middle of Universal Studios and Universal CityWalk amidst the crowds. So take that, giant picture window at NBC's Today.
Crushing Lopez's next chapter
While Lopez has settled into a career as a Ryan Seacrest type, hosting an innocuous syndicated television program, he isn't always successful. In fact, when Lopez headlines any non-scripted TV series that isn't Extra, it tends to flop and go away.
Mario Lopez: One on One certainly had noble intentions. "My version of Oprah's Next Chapter," Lopez told Cosmopolitan. The show on NUVOtv found its host interviewing "Latinos specifically that are important in our community and hot right now in entertainment, sports, the political world." The show made it 20 episodes.
Nowadays, there are quite a few daytime talk shows which stole the panel format of The View, including The Real and The Talk. Lopez was an innovator then as a panelist on The Other Half, a 2001 talk show that was an unnecessary, all-male vision of The View. (Other hosts included Dick Clark and Danny Bonaduce.) In the summer of 2017, Lopez got to host a primetime game show: an unpopular, quickly canceled TV version of the smartphone game Candy Crush.
The price was wrong
The sting of failure and rejection can haunt an actor, if not affect their future prospects. What if that big audition they didn't quite nail would have been the one thing to bring them fame, fortune, and a lasting legacy? They're only left to wonder what could have been.
In 2007, Bob Barker retired from his 35-year gig hosting CBS's The Price is Right (and reminding viewers to spay and neuter their pets). The race to replace him was on almost immediately, and CBS was very transparent about who they were considering, inviting the public to attend test show tapings with the network's chosen candidates. Among those who vied for the job were John O'Hurley (Peterman from Seinfeld), perma-tanned actor George Hamilton, veteran game show host Todd Newton, ... and Mario Lopez. Despite being approached by producers and being asked to audition, Lopez eventually lost out to Drew Carey.
He was accused of rape
Saved by the Bell put Mario Lopez on Hollywood's radar, but, in that town, you're only as good as what's coming up next. Lopez's career was in a make-or-break position when his teen sitcom wound down in 1993 ... and a possibly criminal scandal that came to light during that time could have definitely affected his career and reputation. (And, if the allegations were true, well, that'd all be justified.)
In May 1993, Variety reported that police in California investigated a claim by an 18-year-old woman who accused Lopez, then 19, of raping her after inviting her to his home. Lopez's attorney, Wayne Keeney, denied the charges on behalf of his client. "Anybody who's met this kid or his family knows he's just a really gentle soul and a good person," he said. About a month later, prosecutors announced they wouldn't pursue a case against Lopez due to a lack of evidence — although a second woman had also come forward to report that Lopez had allegedly raped her two years earlier.

Legit is dark, funny, honest and excellent
Michael Tyminski
Legit — Thursdays at 10:30 on FX
Legit: Thursdays at 10:30 Eastern on FX
Over the last few years, one of FX's strongest suits has been the lowbrow comedy about flawed people, whether it be the remorseless gang of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the maladjusted spies at ISIS in Archer, or the failed lawyer who gets high with a dog in Wilfred. Their new series Legit is a perfect fit in this mold.
Legit follows Jim Jefferies (in his stand-up persona), a stand-up comedian who is known for immaturity and for generally being an all around jerk as he tries to become more "legit" in the eyes of his mother. He is aided in his task by his best friend Steve (Dan Bakkedahl –the name may be unfamiliar, but he has had guest runs on shows ranging from Community to Veep to 30 Rock) whom has a considerably straighter moral compass than Jim and recommends that Jim do good things for people as a way to become "legit".
When Jeffries' gets a call from Steve's younger brother Billy (who has muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair), the show's plot wheels begin to turn in motion. Billy's major concern in life at the start of the show is that he has yet to have sex and begs Jeff to take him to a hooker. This leads to a debauchery laden road trip that sets the overall tone for the series (and leads to the events of the next episode).
The second episode, "Dreams" picks up where the first one left off, with Jim and Steve off to break Billy out of his rest home but being saddled with his roommate, a developmentally disabled dwarf named Rodney (who drives a hard bargain and is really good at Wii Bowling) for a night of hard partying that leads to, Billy's eviction and the return of Steve's overbearing mother (and the clear fore-runner for Jim's sitcom nemesis) Janice (played by Mindy Sterling) who insists on being the caretaker for Billy now that he can no longer be in the rest home.
The show as a whole is fearlessly raunchy, with two large benders in the first two episodes (in the form of the road trip in the pilot and a party off-screen in episode two), and features a very take-no-prisoners approach to its' humor (if you're not comfortable about a man in a wheelchair tripping out and being surprised at the notion that "he can't feel his legs" this show is not going to be for you and you probably should disregard this review).
Where this show truly succeeds is in those heartwarming moments where Jim suddenly becomes a little less self-centered, be it when he hands a homeless man a five for listening to him ramble on about how dreams and goals make him miserable, trying to talk Billy out of killing himself after being forced to move in with his mother, or his genuine joy when Rodney gets a perfect game on Wii Bowling (even if the latter occurred while Steve was bugging out about returning Billy and Rodney to the rest home).
The Final Verdict: Legit clicks with me. It's honest, it's funny, it's a little dark at times, but it fits perfectly into FX's 10:00 PM Thursday comedy hour that has been home to some of the funniest comedy on television (and Unsupervised) over the past three years. It's particularly strong at reaching both the most cringe-worthy of lows, and yet still succeeds in creating heartwarming moments. This will likely be part of my regular viewing (it's lead in Archer has been for me since day one) and I look forward to how this twisted redemption tale plays out.

Judge puts off Napout request for compassionate release
Published at 06:14 on 16 July 2020 Updated: 06:20
A federal judge put off for two weeks deciding on a request for compassionate release from prison by the former head of South American soccer.
Juan Ángel Napout is being held at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution, Miami. His lawyer, Marc A. Weinstein, said the federal Bureau of Prisons reported Tuesday that COVID-19 infections increased from 20 to 79 among inmates and from six to seven among staff at FCI Miami.
"That is certainly a significant factor, and I understand why the defendant thinks it substantially strengthens his argument for compassionate release, but I still do not feel that compassionate release is warranted at this time," U.S. District Judge Pamela K. Chen in Brooklyn said Wednesday. She added that compassionate release "has historically been intended to redress situations where an inmate is actually suffering from frequently a fatal disease or imminent death."
Chen denied a similar request by Napout on April 10. She said FCI Miami began a full lockdown quarantine on July 7 that ensures social distancing and she wants to evaluate whether more restrictive containment measures control the coronavirus at the prison. She scheduled another hearing for July 29 and asked that the Federal Bureau of Prisons have Napout tested for the virus.
"I don't accept the premise that this is not a situation that can't be controlled. I don't accept the premise that Mr. Napout at least at this point in time is at imminent risk of contracting COVID," she said. "We should see a substantial decrease in the number of new cases and recovery amongst those who've been infected."
Weinstein said the various lockdowns already have restricted Napout to his cell at times for all but 60-100 minutes per week for showers, telephone use and email. He maintained prosecutors were treating Napout unfairly.
"They have a thing for Mr. Napout, that it does not matter how he might be similar to other people," he said. "The answer is going to be no. He has documented hypertension. He is also taking two other drugs prescribed by the facility, for his anxiety and an antidepressant. They are not just giving out pills for no reason. The medical staff has determined that he's got serious conditions."
Countered Assistant U.S. Attorney M. Kristin Mace: "The reality is that he does not have any of the underlying conditions that the CDC has indicated is necessarily a high-risk group and he is age 62, which is not in the most at-risk group."
Napout was convicted on Dec. 22, 2017, of one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, and he was taken into custody that day. He is serving a nine-year sentence and is scheduled for release on Aug. 9, 2025. His conviction was upheld on June 22 by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Napout was president of the South American governing body CONMEBOL from August 2014 until December 2015, president of the Paraguayan Football Association from 2007-14 and a member of FIFA's executive committee. He was arrested in Zurich while attending FIFA meetings in December 2015.
He was banned for life from soccer by FIFA last September and fined 1 million Swiss francs (then $1.01 million). He has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Q: Live Streaming to Browser I'm a bit at my wits end here.
I want to stream a live video broadcast to a web browser.
Currently I use ffmpeg to stream a directshow live source as a webm stream to node.js which then forwards the stream to the http request from the <video> element. So far everything works.
live source -> ffmpeg -> POST [webm] -> node.js -> GET [webm] -> video tag
My problem is that the source clock and the web clients clock doesn't exactly match each other (not that surprising). For video this is not a problem, dropping or duplicating a frame every now and then is not noticeable. However, with audio it is another issue. From what I've been able to figure out so far Chrome (or any other browser) does not perform any form of audio resampling compensation (e.g. swr_set_compensation from ffmpeg) to compensate this mismatch. Instead I get quite audible audio distortions (a loud beep) when the playback buffer runs out of samples.
My question is whether it is possible to achieve proper playback (with audio) of a live source in a web browser?
I haven't tried using silverlight or flash for playback yet. Would that possibly work better?

A: Live media (audio or/and video) streaming to a web browser has been possible for a couple of years though it is still making progress as of today. It is the next big thing for media on the web and many platforms like Youtube are already on board.
A typical live media streaming scenario is:
audio/video feed > transcoding > streaming > player
At each step you have several technological possibilities available. However I should already mention here that the road to live media streaming is paved with proprietary technologies.

*

*audio/video feed: either raw or very lightly compressed media format and cannot be uploaded as such to the Internet. You need to transcode it. You may have to use a grabbing device like a PCI Express card or USB/thunderbolt device to get your cam onto a computer.

*transcoding: you have software (ffmpeg, Flash media live encoder, Wirecast) or hardware solutions (streamingmedia.com has a wealth of information on the subject like here). H264/AAC is the current media professional standard and streams are often transcoded to multiple renditions (bitrate) to suit different network conditions.

*streaming: you most likely need to target multiple devices to deliver your live stream. Not all devices support the same streaming protocol. HLS works on Apple devices and Android > 4.1. HDS or RTMP works in Flash, Smooth streaming in Silverlight. You cannot reach all devices with one protocol so in this case you would need a streaming server like Wowza or Red5. A streaming server take as an input a transcoded live stream and prepare it for cross device delivery while sustaining a massive number of simultaneous connections (over a thousand is not uncommon nowadays). It can also add functionalities like DVR or DRM. As of today the effort is around HTTP adaptive bitrate delivery. Large companies add CDN support for global delivery.

*player: to display your live stream with various options like custom layout, closed captions, ads, chat module and more. Flash has been leading the market up until now for live media streaming on desktop. You can use HTML5 video for iOS and Android where HLS is supported.

Coming in fast is MPEG DASH and it works live with HTML5 video. There is a JS lib that supports live. I have tested it and it works though I may not use it for a production case scenario just yet as it is still a bit clunky (on demand support is better) and browser support is narrow at the moment (As of 8/30/13, Desktop Chrome, Desktop Internet Explorer 11, and Mobile Chrome Beta for Android are the only browsers supported).
I cannot comment much on your solution because I have not used node.js for streaming but it sounds like an interesting effort. A typical solution I would use relating to your case:
Device > ffmpeg (H264/AAC) > Wowza > Hybrid player (Flash + HTML5).
Instead of Wowza you could use Red5 (free/open source - but not much activity as of late). You can also look into Nginx RTMP module which supports HLS and MPEG DASH on top of RTMP.
For flash I use Strobe from Adobe which support live streaming and is easy to set up and a fallback to HTML5 where flash is not supported. I use SWFObject lib to detect flash support and feed a HLS URL to an HTML5 video tag for mobile devices. You can use RTSP for Android < 4.1 and other mobile devices.
Another thing I should mention is real time communications. For video/audio conferencing you could have a look at WebRTC. Those 2 articles should get you on the right track. Here and here. WebRTC will work great for one to few, one to one, few to few. If you need to support more concurrent connections you can have a look at Licode or tokbox.

1. how much air is it getting? if a flame is getting too much air, it will flicker (like blowing a candle) and can cause the flames to hit the sides of a combustion chamber or burner tube causing carbon to build up, which can then cause other compound problems. Too little air can cause the flame to burn low, and then you won't get the maximum output from the system.
2. how much carbon monoxide is it making? too much carbon monoxide is a sign that the burner is not getting the right air/ fuel mixture, while you're doing it, take a few general readings in your plant to make sure your combustion chambers aren't leaking deadly CO into your plant.
3. What is the stack temperature? A hot stack (or flue) can be another sign that not enough heat is getting into the air or the hot water that you are trying to heat. This can also be caused by carbon buildup which can act as an insulation blowing the heat right out through the flue piping. You can get temperature readings with an IR camera but for the purpose of this test a simple infrared thermometer will work fine.
If you don't have access to this equipment and you chose to use an outside contractor, make sure you use a contractor that has been trained by the National Comfort Institute, and make sure they leave you a copy of their readings and explain what each thing means.
Finally remember that this time of year is critical for carbon monoxide poisoning. People burn fireplaces they aren't used to using, try to use parts of their stoves they've never used before, and many other combustion-related fatalities can occur. Look into getting a permanent CO detector, and have it checked annually just like your fire alarms and smoke detectors. CO is a colorless, odorless gas- and has been called "the silent killer".
Remember, in addition to all the other important things that a maintenance technician does, you're probably the company safety officer as well- stay informed and stay up on the latest in Facilities Management skills right here at Maintenance Mastery.
