GREENSBORO, NC -- When did we start pretending that minor achievements deserve the same recognition as major accomplishments? Two examples from this past few days: The area's fifth grade "graduations," and the Greensboro Grasshoppers "winning" the "first half" pennant.
Graduation is for granting a diploma or degree and a baseball pennant is for the winner of a league's season. What's next? Kindergarten graduation and a fifth inning pennant?

News & Record's superficial endorsement of superficial candidate
GREENSBORO, NC -- Is the News & Record even serious any more? In endorsing Greensboro district three city council person Zack Matheny in the Republican primary for United States House of Representatives, N.C. district 6, they ask readers to ignore important issues, ignore the realities of the political climate, local and national, and suggest we join them in a willful suspension of critical thinking.
The News & Record touts what they see as Matheny's:
Despite what the News & Record may wish us to ignore, Matheny has staked out some positions that give a better picture than the News & Record's wishful thinking of how he'll operate if elected. No matter one's political inclinations, it will interest voters to know what Matheny has to say on the issues (and on what he has remained silent).
Health Care:
In January, Matheny's website called for an unequivocal repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: "Congress must repeal Obamacare," he wrote. Now, along with some good news about Obamacare, Matheny's website no longer calls for repeal. While he still remains critical of what he calls "government intrusion" in health care and maintains that Obamacare "hurts far more people than it helps," he seems confused about the role of government in health care as he cites as a good example of the delivery of health services the medical testing company LabCorp, which happens to be North Carolina's single largest recipient of Medicare payments (i.e. "government") — some $157 million in 2012. (As it turns out, LabCorp made a $5,000 campaign contribution to Matheny days before he came to use them as an example on his website.)
I wrote to Matheny, in whose congressional and city council districts I live, to ask if he still opposes Obamacare and why. I also, separately, asked if he supported Republican changes to expand Obamacare signed into law by President Obama. Matheny replied that he was out of town and would get back to me when "time permits." That was two weeks ago. Matheny's views on health care have been inconsistent, confused and self-contradictory. Had the News & Record been serious, it would have explored the implications of Matheny's muddled thoughts on this issue. Voters will.
The Budget:
Matheny promotes a Constitutional amendment "requiring the federal government to balance its budget every year." As with the Affordable Care Act, it's not clear to what extent Matheny has thought this through or his level of commitment as he qualifies his support by saying we should "consider" it.
Taxes:
We'll let Matheny speak for himself here and leave it to the reader to decide if this is something the News & Record would have ignored in a serious endorsement.
Again, Matheny's words themselves are the most illustrative and, again, the reader will evaluate the seriousness of a News & Record endorsement that, in a city with six colleges and universities, ignores Matheny's idea for education:
Yet again, another topic on which the News & Record would have had something to say, were they serious. Here's Matheny:
On these issues, Matheny offers no comments on either of his two websites. Yet, silence on these issues is a plus in the minds of the News & Record editors. That should tell you all you need to know about the quality of their endorsement: A superficial endorsement for a superficial candidate.
The News & Record touts what they see as Matheny's:
"[W]illingness to work across party lines for the benefit of the people [he] represent[s]. That approach is sorely needed in Congress."The fact is, Matheny is a member of a non-partisan city council where party matters so little that the mayor has served on council as a Republican, then unaffiliated and now as a Democrat. Such an environment gives us no indication of how Matheny will operate in the partisan pressure cooker of the U.S. House of Representatives. A better indication is in Matheny's campaign platform and here, the News & Record gives Matheny cover from scrutiny. They write:
"Matheny’s top issue in this campaign isn’t repealing Obamacare, opposing same-sex marriage, banning abortion, denying climate change or impeaching the president — topics that occupy some of the other candidates. It’s finding ways to create more jobs."In congress, Matheny will have to—we, his potential constituents, will want him to—act on health care, marriage equality, reproductive issues, climate change, economic inequality and more, including budgetary, foreign affairs, defense, and entitlement issues such as Social Security. Yet, the News & Record is asking us to dumb down our examination of Matheny by suggesting that we ignore how he might act on these important issues and, instead, be swayed by rhetoric on "jobs." Voters will be wise not to oblige.
Despite what the News & Record may wish us to ignore, Matheny has staked out some positions that give a better picture than the News & Record's wishful thinking of how he'll operate if elected. No matter one's political inclinations, it will interest voters to know what Matheny has to say on the issues (and on what he has remained silent).

We'll let Matheny speak for himself here and leave it to the reader to decide if this is something the News & Record would have ignored in a serious endorsement.
"As your Congressman, I will fight for legislation to sunset our current tax code and create a simple, fair, and honest tax system. Our current code is too complex, 70,000 pages and growing every year. No one knows what’s in it, or understands the current system. If we sunset our tax code after 3 years, that gives Congress 1000 days to take out a clean sheet of paper headed 'Fair, Simple, Honest.' "Education:
Again, Matheny's words themselves are the most illustrative and, again, the reader will evaluate the seriousness of a News & Record endorsement that, in a city with six colleges and universities, ignores Matheny's idea for education:
"We must TEACH FOR THE JOB." [Emphasis in original]Guns:
Yet again, another topic on which the News & Record would have had something to say, were they serious. Here's Matheny:
"As your Congressman, I will continue to support gun owners and protect their right to bear arms. Protecting Second Amendment rights is not only a Constitutional issue. Our region has an economic interest to protect these rights as well. Remington Arms has been headquartered in North Carolina’s 6th District for nearly 20 years and Ruger Firearms opened a manufacturing facility in Rockingham County just last year. Guns equal jobs in North Carolina’s 6th District."Foreign Policy, National Defense, Social Security, Agriculture, Domestic Surveillance, Climate Change, Poverty, Marriage Equality, Reproductive Rights/Abortion, Income Inequality, Civil Liberties, Energy, Trade, etc:
On these issues, Matheny offers no comments on either of his two websites. Yet, silence on these issues is a plus in the minds of the News & Record editors. That should tell you all you need to know about the quality of their endorsement: A superficial endorsement for a superficial candidate.

FedEx hub and logistics jobs may never materialize
GREENSBORO, NC -- When Greensboro was debating the merits of spending what has become nearly half a billion dollars on tax incentives and capital outlays of public funds to accommodate the FedEx "regional overnight cargo sorting hub," the invincible gorilla in the discussion was the promise of hundreds and hundreds of jobs. 600 new jobs were to be filled when the hub opened, 750 new jobs would be created in its first two years of operations, 1,500 new jobs a few years after that... we were told. The mantra was repeated by op-ed writers, reporters, economic developers and every elected official in the county. It became indisputable gospel.
While the new hub opened in 2009, the number employed by FedEx four years later remains nearly the same as before the new facility opened. The new jobs did not materialize. The promises were hot air.
Undeterred by such evidence to the contrary, the region's economic developers and elected officials continue to push—as they have for the past 15 years—the idea of Greensboro as a "logistics" hub to drive job growth. Now, a new study out of Oxford University (article, study) shows that, even if good airport capacity and a confluence of highways distinguishes a city enough to give it a competitive advantage in logistics, it may not bring jobs with it; or, the jobs it brings may be outpaced by technology in short order—possibly bringing about a repeat of this region's turn of the century economic wounding when tobacco, textiles and furniture jobs evaporated.

"The study, based on 702 detailed job listings, found that computers could already replace many workers in transportation and logistics, production labor and administrative support."To the extent that Greensboro's decision-makers continue to stake our economic future to the dubious notion of us as a "logistics hub," they would do well to recognize that such industry is not likely to provide significant numbers of jobs for package handlers, laborers and sorters as was once predicted. Educating people to invent, design, build and program the machines that will do those jobs instead might make more sense.

Fact check: Greensboro Guardian's claims of Guilford County schools
GREENSBORO, NC -- Charles Davenport, Jr. at the Greensboro Guardian:
According to End of Grade (EOG) test results (p. 8) for 2012, 66.9 percent of fourth grade students were proficient in reading as were 69 percent of eight graders in Guilford County Schools.
(Hat tip: Jeff Martin)
"In 2009, according to NAEP results, only 32% of the state’s fourth graders were proficient in reading. Among blacks, the figure was 14%. (These are statewide stats, but GCS [Guilford County Schools] results are approximately the same.) Only 29% of eighth-graders were proficient readers (and 12% of blacks)."Davenport provides no link to his source. You'd think the editor of an online publication would have that minimal skill—maybe he doesn't want us taking a closer look. But let's anyway.

The status of women in Guilford County
GREENSBORO, NC -- There is a new study on women in Guilford County from the Institute for Women's Policy Research. As with the rest of the country, women make less than men with the same education:
"Median annual earnings for women in Guilford County who are employed full-time, year-round with a high school diploma or the equivalent are only $26,535, whereas for comparable men they are $33,000. In Guilford County, women with some college education or an associate’s degree earn less than men with only a high school diploma ($30,492 compared with $33,000; men with some college education or an associate’s degree earn $40,511).viii Such earnings for women are well below the income a family of one adult and two children needs to cover basic living expenses in Guilford County (Table 3)."(Hat tip: Triad Business Journal)

So you want to make things for the Internet? Try Lynda and Larry
I love learning. I think it is because I've had some great teachers, not the least of whom were my parents, but whom also included inspiring math teachers Mrs. Huckabee and Mrs.Williams, science teachers Mr. Huffaker and Mrs. Stone, the great team of Mrs. Banks and Mr. Cornelius (who took some of his sixth graders target shooting, of all things) and the wonderful English teacher Mrs. Johnson (for whom I once dressed in a delivery uniform to deliver a rat in a box to someone -- long story).
The point is, I fondly remember and have a genuine appreciation of these people, not just because they were decent and kind, but because I was aware that they were making me smarter; made me smarter. What a gift, to be able to teach well.
Multiple times a day, I turn to search results for answers to specific web development questions, but when it comes to learning how to make things for the internet—actually increasing comprehension and building and a body of knowledge—there are two resources I would recommend for anybody with similar interests. They aren't magic—they take time and concentration—but they have the distinction of providing a great knowledge-gained to time-spent ratio. They teach well.
The first is Larry Ullman, whose book PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites (thanks, Paul!), opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about what it means to build for the Internet, inspiring me to think beyond just design and in terms of the total experience. He has some other worthwhile books too.
The second is not a person, more accurately, it's a collection or people: the instructors behind the video lessons at Lynda.com. These folks are good and, while I've never before seriously attempted to undertake a course of study by narrated video, I'm finding it to be a very efficient means of learning. Some instructors are better than others, no doubt (especially Joe Marini and Simon Alardice), and you may run into an occasional instructor whose narrative style or vocal quality makes it hard to stay with the lesson, but most are very good teachers.
I initially expected that I might watch a few videos at Lynda.com during my free trial and that would be it. When the trial expired, I thought I would pay the $25/month fee just to maintain access to a couple more courses that had caught my eye. Six months later, I remain subscribed, have completed or have underway twelve courses and have eighteen more in my que.
If you want to learn how to make stuff for the Internet, or already know how to do some things but want to learn more, from beginner to advanced, you'll find both the books of Larry Ullman and the video lessons at Lynda.com great resources.

News & Record no longer providing free papers to Guilford County classrooms
As a participant in the Newspapers In Education program, The News & Record has, for years, offered free newspapers to Guilford County public school classrooms. Teachers used these papers in a variety of instructional activities in a variety of subjects and grade levels.
The News & Record's description of the program says:
I'm wondering why. We all know times are tough for newspapers, but what drove this change? Did the business sponsors dry up? Is the N&R trying to develop a new profit center? I've emailed News & Record publisher Robin Saul a link to this post and asked him to comment.
The News & Record's description of the program says:
Classroom papers are sponsored by local businesses at the cost of 14 cents per paper. The News & Record pays the balance of the cost per paper and does not profit from the NIE program.Although the News & Record's description still says that the papers are being provided "at no cost," that's out of date and schools are being asked to pay this year.
I'm wondering why. We all know times are tough for newspapers, but what drove this change? Did the business sponsors dry up? Is the N&R trying to develop a new profit center? I've emailed News & Record publisher Robin Saul a link to this post and asked him to comment.

Good news in Guilford College student health insurance rate increase
(GREENSBORO, NC) Local bloggers Doug Clark and Sam Hieb have taken notice of Guilford College's increase in student health insurance rates, an increase Greg Bursavich, Vice President for Finance at the college explained:
The Act also mandates that insurance companies allow students to stay on their parents' health insurance through age 26, although Bursavich doesn't mention that in his letter.
Bursavich's explanation that the new health care law is the only reason for the increase—that it is the "whole story"—is remarkable when considered in the historical context of student health care insurance costs at Guilford College which have averaged a 42 percent yearly increase since the 2007/2008 academic year*.
If Mr. Bursovich is correct, that there is "no reason" rates have gone up except for the expanded coverage of the new health care law, that means the causes for the previous increases averaging 42 percent have been vanquished. Good news indeed.
(* Historical rates for student health insurance at Guilford College gathered from archived pages of the College's website: 2007/2008, 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011.)
“It is directly related – it is only related – to the new healthcare law,” said Bursavich. “There is no reason why it has gone up except the requirements of the new law have forced it to go up. That is the whole story.”As Mr. Bursavich wrote in his letter to students announcing the increase, the new health insurance policies will indeed expand coverage to conform to the requirements of the Affordable Care Act—requirements such as no co-pays or deductibles for preventative care, no caps on essential services and a doubling of maximum coverage for other treatments.
The Act also mandates that insurance companies allow students to stay on their parents' health insurance through age 26, although Bursavich doesn't mention that in his letter.

"Is it ignorance of the Constitution or just plain effete entitlement? "
The News & Record, in their infinite wisdom, does not allow comments on a letter to the editor in which writer Michael Lopez asks about North Carolina college students protesting their right to a college education:
Fortunately, local blogger Dave Ribar is on the case and points out that it is, in fact, Mr. Lopez who is ignorant of his state's constitution—that it does call for free college education.
Still, I'd be careful about how I tell him that.

Cushy teaching jobs and slack ass parents.
I know a particular teacher quite well and I hear a lot about the ins and outs of her job. One thing that just plain infuriates me to hear is of parents who ask teachers to come in early for a parent conference, or to stay late or to schedule two conferences so that separated parents don't have to be in the same room together for a few minutes -- and then don't show up; don't call or email, just blow the whole thing off.
It happens a lot.
Conservatives are wrong that teachers have cushy jobs, they are right that too many parents won't bother to take responsibility for their children's success.

News14 Carolina responds to "Eastern Guilford High School" fight video
GREENSBORO, NC -- Now, this is how you do it. No drama, no excuses, no bull; just a straight up, prompt and direct confrontation of the issue. Explain and correct. Seems easy when you see it in action. Makes one wonder why it's so rare.
Earlier today I wrote of News14 Carolina running a story in which they rolled some video of two boys fighting and said that concerned parents had identified the video as a fight at Easter Guilford High School. It was not. It was video of a fight from a year ago at an apartment complex 17 miles away from the high school. News14 Carolina News Director Dale McElrath responded. Highlights are mine:

Dear Mr. Smith,
I appreciate the role you've taken on as an ombudsman for the media in the Triad. I believe that members of the news media, and the viewers, benefit from rigorous scrutiny. I welcome your input. If you've watched News 14 Carolina, you know that we are focused on more issues-oriented news. I firmly believe that the wrecks and murders that pass for news on other stations across the country are merely unfortunate events, which rarely rise to the level of actual news. If I have the choice between sending one of my reporters to a story about a potential tax increase or a murder scene, I will choose the tax story 99.9% of the time.
The story you highlight in your blog this morning was one that seemed to be of legitimate interest to the community. A large group of parents gathered to discuss concerns about their perception that violent incidents were happening at the school their children attend. Organizers showed the video you highlight to parents at the meeting to illustrate their contention that Eastern Guilford has a problem with violence. We recorded the video directly off the screen during the meeting. As we put the story together, we questioned the source of the video and the organizer of the meeting assured us that she'd gotten it directly from the parent of a student at Eastern Guilford. She told us the student had shot the video at the school. In fact, while other news outlets did the story the night of the meeting without school response, we held the story so that we could balance the organizer's claims with an interview with the school's principal.
I have written a clarification to our story, which will air on our newscasts today.
Again, thank your for bringing this information to our attention.
Best regards,
Dale

Parents punk News14 Carolina with "Eastern Guilford High School" fight video
UPDATE: News14 Carolina responds.
GREENSBORO, NC --Cruising Greensboro 101, I saw a story from News14 Carolina titled Some parents concerned about discipline at Eastern Guilford High. The story quickly shows some disturbing footage of two boys in a fist fight, cheered on by bystanders. News14 Carolina reporter Bob Costner describes the footage:
But wait a minute. I've seen this video before. In fact, it's not of a fight at Eatern Guilford High School. This same video popped up on Greensboro 101 about a year ago and was identified as a fight at Hickory Trails Apartments -- 17 miles from Eastern Guilford High School. Indeed, view the entire original footage and it's plain the location is an apartment complex, not a school.
I have asked the News14 reporter, Bob Costner, who gave him this video and who told him it was from Eastern Guilford High School. (Update: News14 Carolina responds.)

Priorities
GREENSBORO, NC -- North Carolina A&T last week announced plans to eliminate the university's French and Spanish majors, the administration suggesting the Rosetta Stone language-learning software might suffice (news, opinion.). Today, an announcement that the A&T band will travel to New York to appear in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and some students are thinking of delaying their graduation so that they can participate.
