Who's winning the race to open a new Kings arena?
By Aaron BruskiApr 3, 2013, 2:01 PM EDT
While Sacramento's fight to keep their Kings could extend all the way to the NBA's Board of Governors meeting on April 18-19, this week will prove pivotal as both Sacramento and Seattle are set to give their best pitch to the BOG's joint committees tasked with reviewing the matter today in New York.
League insiders have bounced around on a lot of issues surrounding the Kings saga, but one of the issues that they are in agreement on is that the city that can build an arena first will have a key advantage in the eyes of the owners deciding the fate of the franchise.
In what may be a surprise development to some given Seattle's head start on the arena building process, sources say that in Wednesday's meeting and in the coming weeks, Chris Hansen's group will reveal that they have "very little chance" of opening an arena before the 2017-18 season due to expected challenges under environmental law.
Seattle and Hansen are expected to agree to proceed with an arena deal as early as January 2014, after a final environmental review is conducted. It is at that time that they are expected to face significant challenges (lawsuits) to their environmental review over traffic and arena location. Those lawsuits have no time limit to be heard within, so a one-year lawsuit would make it a race for Seattle to open for the 2017-18 season if arena construction takes two years.
Sacramento is on track to open an arena in the 2016-17 season, and has no significant legal opposition to its arena plan as of yet. There was practically no opposition against the last Sacramento arena plan, although that plan never got into the details of design (where opposition to large developments often form, as it has in Seattle). Also, the Downtown Plaza site for Sacramento's arena plan is favorably zoned in the eyes of both the city and the league.
Sources with knowledge of the NBA's view have identified two main differences that define each city's path to an arena.
The first is a difference in environmental laws that provides Sacramento with an 'expedited process' to address any environmental challenges made against their arena deal once an environmental review is complete.
California recently enacted law AB900 at the urging of AEG (which has plans for a football arena in downtown Los Angeles near Staples Center). That law limits environmental challenges to a 175-day time-frame following the approval of an environmental review. Because any challenge must be heard in an appellate court, with statutory directives designed to expedite a challenge, Sacramento has a key legal advantage in the race to build an arena. Co-Author of the law and member of Sacramento's arena task force Darrell Steinberg is expected to attend today's meetings with the joint committees to answer any questions about how the law works.
Should the NBA's BOG approve the sale of the Kings to Sacramento buyers, an environmental review lasting for one year would result in a construction start date of no later than November 2014 when considering the maximum 175 day review for any environmental challenges.
Because of the certainty the expedited review process provides, Sacramento can present a firm timeline to the league whereas Seattle's environment laws have no time limit for challenges to be heard and any legal proceedings go through superior (lower) courtrooms. The expedited process in California takes place in appellate courts, and also gives those courts additional tools to further expedite an arena deal.
The second difference is the amount of resistance the Seattle arena deal is currently facing and will continue to face until all environmental challenges are heard. There are already challenges under Washington environmental laws that will take anywhere from one year or more to resolve according to Peter Goldman, who is currently suing the city on behalf of the local Longshoreman's union over traffic concerns and the lack of a viable alternative site analysis required under state environmental law. The union's main concern is union jobs at the port, which it wants to see grow as trade along the Pacific rim grows.
The main issue for opponents of the arena deal is where the arena is being placed. Opponents contend that the stadium district that houses the two existing stadia for the Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders is already congested with traffic that interferes with the Post of Seattle. They're arguing that even with attempts to mitigate additional traffic issues, the development of an "L.A. Live-like facility" on top of the other stadiums is an issue that cannot necessarily be fixed.
Whether or not these opponents' claims have merits, league sources expect Hansen to be forthcoming about the possibility that the challenges delay the opening of the new facility.
There has been Seattle-based talk about a pair of pro bono attorneys in Sacramento that have been pursuing a potential lawsuit demanding a voter referendum on the recently approved arena deal. Those attorneys sent a copy of their 'intent to commence action' (a threat to file a lawsuit) to Seattle television stations on Tuesday.
The attorneys contend that Sacramento's parking monetization plan is effectively a tax that needs to be voted upon by the public, but according to Sports Illustrated and NBA.com Legal Analyst Michael McCann, who has been following the Kings situation closely, he said that's not likely to be the case.
"An administrative action like a parking monetization plan is not generally subject to referendum, but could be subject to an administrative review by a local agency such as the city treasurer or zoning board."
Sacramento sources told PBT that they have "no concern about a referendum whatsoever."

Comparing markets, attendance and ownership in Sacramento and Seattle
By Aaron BruskiMar 9, 2013, 9:00 PM EST
We've discussed the issues that will determine whether or not the Sacramento Kings stay in California's capitol or go to Seattle, including the impact of public subsidy support in both cities, the race between the two cities for an arena deal, and what lawsuits pending in Seattle mean to the process.
Next we take a look at markets, attendance, and ownership groups for both locations.
Sources with knowledge of the league's thinking tell PBT that neither city will have a discernible advantage in these areas heading into meetings with the Board of Governors joint committees on April 3.
Seattle enjoys the nation's No. 12 television market but shares that market with up to six sports teams, an issue that has come under great scrutiny when comparing Seattle with Sacramento, something the Sacramento side brings up often. David Stern pointed the issue out at All Star weekend, Chris Hansen's group reported the same idea in its market analysis, and Sacramento's group highlighted the same thing this past week when they unveiled their market analysis to the press.
A potential Sonics franchise would share Seattle's larger market with the Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders, and University of Washington football, in addition to an NHL team if Hansen's group can make it happen.
That would reportedly position Seattle closer to Sacramento's No. 20 television market, where the NBA enjoys 100 percent market share.
Think Big Sacramento, the city's arena task force, put out a report this week contending that they are a better market than Seattle, which is what they're supposed to say, but when you look at a similar report put out by Chris Hansen's group the two sides aren't necessarily squabbling over the details.
Hansen's report indicates that Sacramento has 1.4 million TV homes per team (NBA, NFL, NBA, NHL), compared to 937,000 TV Homes for Seattle under the current scenario of two sports teams (Mariners and Seahawks) already in town.
Under this metric, Sacramento ranks No. 2 and Seattle ranks No. 4. Orlando is ranked No. 1, L.A. is ranked No. 3, New York is No. 5, and from there it goes Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago and Dallas — mostly large markets.
Should Seattle secure both an NBA and NHL team they will fall to No. 15 on Hansen's report. If you add the successful Seattle Sounders MLS franchise to the metrics as Hansen's group does, then Seattle falls to No. 21 assuming they land two new pro sports franchises.
League sources say the TV Homes per team metric is one of the reasons small-to-mid markets like Orlando, Sacramento, and Seattle are coveted by the league. Networks understand the competitive impact of multiple sports teams in a region that steal away eyeballs and ratings, and they include such analysis in their bids for rights packages and the like.
Otherwise, leagues would contend that 'TV Homes' never watched any of the other sporting options available to them, and instead just the games that a particular league is selling to a network.
Still, Hansen's report states that Seattle (84) has 30 more businesses than Sacramento (54) with 1,000 or more employees, and Seattle's household median income is ranked No. 6 ($66,500) compared to Sacramento at No. 8 ($63,618). However, if you use the 2011 federal numbers for the counties of these cities (King County and Sacramento County, and work to draw fans outside the city limits) that gap grows to more than $15,000 a household.
Just like other professional teams cut into the NBA's TV viewership in Seattle, sources say the same issue mitigates the advantage the Emerald City has in terms of potential sponsors. The issue was summed up by longtime Seattle writer Art Thiel, as he said in a recent roundtable discussion between local pro- and anti-arena groups that competition for sponsorships in Seattle could be a problem.
"Which team in Seattle is the sixth ticket in town? When you consider Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, University of Washington sports and then these two new teams that might occupy Hansen's arena … the complicated business problem in Seattle is that our major companies here like Amazon and Microsoft are either bit or 'no' players in the sports sponsorship scene. They don't buy the suites, they don't do the sponsorships at least at the same degree as you find elsewhere with Fortune 500 companies."
At his State of the City address last week, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson revealed that he had sponsorship commitments of $50 million over five years from local businesses, which is similar to the $10 million Johnson secured when the Maloofs tried to leave for Anaheim in 2011.
It is unclear what Seattle has presented to the league on that front, as Seattle supporters have maintained that Hansen is under a gag order and cannot talk about his proposal to the press.
As for Hansen's arena task force marketing itself or leaking information to the media about sponsorship support in Seattle, league sources do not expect the group to be public about their position. As they put it, "when you're trying to take a team from another city, particularly one that is fighting as hard as Sacramento is, it pays to be quiet."
Past attendance will likely be a moot point or favor Sacramento, as Kings fans have turned out at the gate more frequently than their Sonics counterparts over the years.
Given the constant relocation threats and substandard ownership over the past five years, sources say the league is impressed that Kings fans continue to show up the way that they did, just as the league was impressed with Sonics fans when they showed up for the last two years under Clay Bennett prior to the team's move to Oklahoma City.
Sources say the league won't be overly critical of attendance in either city once public relations became a nightmare. This was the case starting in 2006 in Sacramento after the Maloofs torched an arena deal and in that same year when Bennett took over ownership of the Sonics.
Ownership groups are another area in which sources tell PBT that the league is likely to conduct itself with some ambivalence.
Steve Ballmer is ranked No. 51 on Forbes' top billionaires list, while Chris Hansen, Ron Burkle, and Mark Mastrov are not listed. Each ownership group is "overly qualified" to own an NBA franchise, and the sports connections each group brings to the table are regarded as second-to-none. Burkle is a finalist to purchase sports and entertainment powerhouse AEG, while Ballmer's wealth alone is enough to make most owners blush.
Sources with knowledge of the league's thinking said this is a great problem for the NBA to have, but pointed out that the league is highly unlikely to make this a question about which ownership group is better, instead letting the other factors decide the matter. "There are only so many yachts these guys can water ski behind, and while Hansen and Ballmer are a dream team when it comes to ownership, it's doubtful the NBA is going to downgrade Burkle and Mastrov."
The source added that it didn't make sense for the league to pit the ownership groups against one another, noting the association still wants to do business with both well into the future.
After David Stern's press conference on Friday in which he said the Sacramento offer needed to be increased, and subsequent votes of confidence from Mastrov and Johnson that they would be able to deliver, the framework for discussion among owners is all but laid out.
Assuming Sacramento can provide the right offer, with the two cities drawing toward a tie on the issues of markets, attendance and ownership groups, the source said that with the advantage Sacramento has on the public subsidy issue, "Tie should go to the runner."

Lawsuits in Seattle give Sacramento head start in race to approve an arena
By Aaron BruskiFeb 22, 2013, 4:08 PM EST
The question of which city, Sacramento or Seattle, is ahead in the race to bring the NBA a brand new arena attached to a shiny new public subsidy is unclear at this time, but sources with intimate knowledge of the situation tell PBT that so long as Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson delivers on his promises that Sacramento will be ahead in that process.
A lot of that comes down where each city is legally within that process, and how that process is conducted in both Washington and California.
While some early media reports might have led folks to believe that Chris Hansen's arena deal (and offer to buy the team) were a slam dunk, the documents laying out the framework of his arena proposal are under siege.
Specifically, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Interlocal Agreement (IA) he entered into with the city of Seattle and King County have been under intense scrutiny locally, as they are currently the target of two lawsuits. The first of those lawsuits is potentially being decided today at 1:30 PT.
The first suit brought by the International Longshoreman's Workers Union challenges the site selection process within Washington's Environment Impact Review (EIR) process, saying that Hansen and the local government conducted a "sham" site review process that did not provide reasonable, actionable alternatives other than Hansen's hand-picked site.
That site, located in Seattle's SODO district, has been the battleground of competing arguments regarding traffic and how it might impact Port of Seattle's operations, and otherwise cause gentrification, loss of business in the area, and impact a large number of family-wage jobs in exchange for temporary construction jobs and a smaller number of low-paying arena jobs.
Arena proponents point out that most of the events at the proposed SODO site would occur after the Port's business hours. Arena opponents say that the cumulative impact of creating a third large-scale sports and entertainment facility within their maritime industrial area, with an L.A. Live-like experience of retail outlets and restaurants, will necessarily bring more traffic to the region regardless of hour and disrupt Port operations.
These kinds of lawsuits are standard fare in any large-scale development project nationally right now, but they can have impacts on developments. In this case, opponents of the current MOU and EIR process point out that it could take "hundreds of millions of dollars" to mitigate the traffic issues a new arena would face, according to head lawyer for the ILWU suit Peter Goldman.
Hansen has offered $40 million to address traffic mitigation concerns, but in reality the question of who pays what for additional mitigation has yet to be solved because the EIR has yet to address the issue. Should Hansen have to pay for additional mitigation, it could further strap him and his group as it relates to their overall offer for the Kings, but the fear for locals is that the money would have to come from the public coffers.
The ILWU's suit alleges a number of concerns relating to the site selection process, and asks the court to force Hansen and the local government to declare the MOU and IA "null and void" because they are in violation of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
It is unclear whether or not this would impact Hansen and the local government's warranties to the NBA about its current arena situation.
(UPDATE: The judge ruled in favor of Hansen, Seattle, and King county and dismissed the lawsuit. Hansen and governmental officials argued they did not have an arena agreement in place and that they would look at other locations.)
Goldman said that this suit was "preliminary," and cited the broad swath of industry that is opposing the arena proposal in its current form. He pointed out that there will be more times for lawsuits to be filed down the road, but that he and his client were concerned that the site selection process wasn't being conducted according to current state laws.
The second lawsuit relates to Seattle's in-force Initiative 91 and the contention by its co-author Mark Baerwaldt that the current MOU does not meet the law's criteria.
Baerwaldt is careful to point out that the courts would decide the matter. His complaints focus on the financing mechanisms that Hansen and the local government are using to meet the statute's definition of turning a profit on public subsidies for sports arenas. This lawsuit is awaiting response from Hansen, Seattle, and King County.
I-91's other co-author, Chris Van Dyk, has also been at the center of this discussion, being cited by many Seattle media outlets as being supportive of Hansen and Seattle's MOU. He addressed those reports exclusively with PBT, saying he "never said it was compliant" and that "if he's the best cheerleader (Hansen and Seattle) can come up with then they're in trouble."
Van Dyk also offered that "he's looking forward to hearing the expert testimony," because he didn't think "I-91 anticipated meeting the type of funding mechanism that Hansen has presented."
Whether or not the Longshoreman's suit goes in favor of the plaintiff or Hansen and Seattle, Goldman says to expect more legal resistance down the road. If they win, Hansen and Seattle has to start over with their MOU and come to the table with alternative sites that they may not like. Then the city would have to choose between the site that Hansen wants, and a potential site that presents better alternatives in terms of environmental concerns and traffic.
If they lose today, he says that there is a "significant appetite" not just by his clients but a broad swath of industry including the Port of Seattle to appeal the decision and fight the EIR process at every stage. All of the potential delays and injunctions were reflected when David Stern told Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle that the NBA had "no approved plan for an arena in Seattle."
Therein lies the rub for the Seattle group. While they seek to convince the BOG that they have an actionable arena plan, they are arguing in court that their MOU and IA just lay out a process for reviewing and financing an arena proposal and do not constitute an 'action' under state EIR laws. Therefore, they contend that the Longshoreman's suit is not "ripe" and are asking for it to be thrown out.
Sources with intimate knowledge of the situation tell PBT that this is a tightrope that the Seattle group can walk, and Scott Howard Cooper of NBA.com illustrated that point by saying the league isn't overly concerned with legal issues in either Seattle or Sacramento, but the question goes back to points made by TNT's David Aldridge about which city can get an arena deal done first.
Aldridge, who had previously reported Seattle had a "clear path" to obtaining the Kings, said on Saturday "there are questions about whether or not the Seattle deal is as airtight as they say it is."
After Stern's press conference on Saturday Aldridge elaborated, "We have very equal bids here. What it comes down to is the feel the owners have on ownership groups, and which arena can be built the fastest."
The EIR process in Seattle is underway, but with two lawsuits pending and only the judges in both suits being capable of delivering an up-or-down answer to the litany of issues presented, the uncertainty over what type of delays Seattle could face and what type of mitigation will be needed to preserve other parties' rights are huge question marks.
On the other side, it's Johnson's track record of delivering on promises to the NBA that has insiders optimistic about Sacramento's chances of delivering that 'fair and competitive' offer that will include a significant public subsidy and downtown arena.
That effort has been underway for a while now, as the NBA negotiated the current arena deal that the Maloofs backed out of, a deal that Johnson and Sacramento have maintained is still on the table.
Additionally, proposed arena locations in Sacramento aren't likely to have the same types of blowback being faced in Seattle, where their sizable maritime industrial economy feels threatened by Hansen's proposal.
One source with intimate knowledge of the situation speaking to PBT under conditions of anonymity spoke about Sacramento's pair of proposed locations:
"Both potential Sacramento sites are complimentary to the existing downtown commercial uses, and unlike the fight in Seattle the downtown proposals are being welcomed as a revitalization project. Both are efficient reuses of developed property, and both sites qualify under the expedited state AB 900 CEQA process, which limits the delay from any potential lawsuits. Having already approved a deal structure a year ago with no lawsuits filed, Sacramento has a big advantage to deliver a timely arena facility."
That AB 900 CEQA process is an interesting wrinkle to Sacramento's effort to keep their team, as the bill creating that process was recently signed into law and co-authored by Think Big Sacramento supporter and California Senate President pro Tem Dan Steinberg. According to law firm Stoel and Rives:
"The (bill provides) an incentive for applicants to move forward with their projects because any challenge to a leadership project Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") will be venued immediately in the Court of Appeal. The court will then have a maximum of 175 days to issue its decision on the challenged EIR"
Incidentally, the bill was passed in part to help facilitate the potential Farmer's Field deal to bring NFL football back to L.A. The company driving that proposal is AEG, who is supporting Sacramento's bid and being pursued for purchase by Ron Burkle, who is one of the 'whales' that reportedly stands behind Sacramento's offer.
"It's time for big thinking and big projects that put Californians back to work," said California Governor Brown. "Projects like Farmers Field can create thousands of jobs during a tough economic time, so it is imperative for the state to cut the red tape that could delay projects like this for years. These bills strike the right balance between protecting our environment and kick-starting jobs and investment in California."
Sources say NBA owners will be weighing the totality of the arena timelines for both sides, and in Seattle's case how many years a potential Sonics team will have to play at Key Arena, a facility deemed by the NBA to not meet its standards when the Sonics left for Oklahoma City in 2008.
Hansen's current plan calls for a potential Sonics team to play in Key Arena (with modest improvements) for as little as two years, while arena opponents believe that timeframe could be extended to as many as four years if lawsuits hold up the process. While Sacramento could face similar lawsuits, they didn't face any during the 2011 arena deal, and the expedited review process and potential for less environmental concerns at the city's proposed sites have sources pointing at the issue as a point in favor of Kevin Johnson's expected proposal.
While Seattle's lawsuits aren't likely to be the defining factor in this saga – Sacramento's production of an actionable offer will be that factor –the fact that the Emerald City can't say with certainly how long they'll be locked up at Key Arena could be the starting point for their bid to take the Kings to unravel.

History of public subsidy support could be key issue in Sacramento Kings' future
It's no secret that public funds for arenas make the NBA world go round.
Seattle lost their Sonics because politicians did not want to play ball, right or wrong, and to top matters off they openly admonished David Stern and the NBA during the critical days and months that determined the Sonics' fate.
The past behavior of Seattle politicians is not expected to be a defining factor in the league's assessment of the two cities' competing proposals. However, an exchange between Stern and a Seattle reporter didn't do much to quell any doubts.
When asked about whether or not he regretted the way the NBA left five years ago and if it would impact the league's decision-making, Stern interrupted the reporter with visible irritation:
"Actually, no, it does not impact anything. This is being done by the book. I seem to remember, and correct me if I'm wrong, but there was $300 million-plus subsidy for the Mariners and $300 million-plus subsidy for the Seahawks. But there was legislation that precluded that for the Sonics. Speaker (of the House of Representatives Frank) Chopp said we should take the money from our players. Is there anything that I'm missing there? History is being rewritten in a way that your question gives me an opportunity to set the record straight."
This strikes a stark contrast with the way Sacramento has worked with the NBA to secure public funds for an arena. There is no doubt about the effort they made to get an arena deal done in 2011, working side by side with Stern and relocation committee head Clay Bennett to bring together $255 million in public funds for what league sources called a "model offer."
When asked about Sacramento's ability to extend their current offer of public funds from the last deal negotiated by the NBA, sources say Kevin Johnson's strong support in the Sacramento city council last year is likely to continue this year. The Sacramento City Council passed a 7-2 vote in favor of a symbolic resolution supporting the NBA on Tuesday.
Seattle and King County have also offered up to $120-145 million toward the creation of an NBA-only facility.
Stern has been careful to applaud Sacramento's efforts in the public numerous times, most recently reminding reporters in Minnesota, "The mayor of Sacramento has advised that he will be back to us soon with a proposal from a group to buy the team in Sacramento and build a building in Sacramento with a substantial subsidy from the city of Sacramento."
The league and its players have enjoyed over $3 billion in public funds for new arenas since 1990 and sources tell PBT on the condition of anonymity that the league is sensitive to what a move out of Sacramento could do to future subsidy collection efforts by the NBA.
Any additional ammunition given to public subsidy opponents could impact the league's bottom line much more than what owners would proportionately receive in a relocation fee, which some have guessed to be in the $30-45 million dollar range. The fee can be anything the league wants, and can be as high as the most recent franchise fee or franchise sale amount according to legal scholars at Loyola Marymount.
Sources tell PBT that a prohibitive relocation fee would only be sought by the league if it wanted to exert financial pressure against the Seattle deal, and that there has been zero talk of doing that at this time.
Should Sacramento produce the 'fair and competitive offer' sources expect before March 1, the league will be facing an unprecedented decision. Never before has an NBA city shown strong support for a team, provided a "model offer" of public funds for a new arena and then lost their team.
With opposition of public subsidies for sports facilities growing every day, sources say the league wants to avoid a situation in which Sacramento provides a "model offer" only to have their team taken away. This would send a message to future cities that their long-term investments in the NBA are not safe, even if the city does everything reasonably expected of them.
So even though the league probably won't hold Seattle's history against them, the fact that Sacramento has done everything that could ever be expected of them will be a point in their favor.

Sources: "Mega-Whales" Ron Burkle and Mark Mastrov in serious talks with Sacramento
By Aaron BruskiJan 22, 2013, 11:50 PM EST
There aren't a lot of people willing to give Sacramento much of a fighting chance to hold on to the Kings, but they're not going down without a big money fight.
Sources familiar with the situation tell ProBasketballTalk that "mega whales" Ron Burkle and Mark Mastrov are in serious talks with the city of Sacramento to collaborate on a bid to buy the Kings and keep them in California's capitol.
Additionally, sources report that there is no shortage of bidders as at least five groups have approached the city and have NBA-level credentials.
Burkle famously was interested in buying the Kings from the Maloofs when they filed for relocation in 2011, but was rebuffed by the family in an emotional response.
From Sacramento's perspective, the combination of Burkle and Mastrov would be an extremely compelling group to present to the NBA's Board of Governors, and is being called a "dream team" by those close to the negotiations. Burkle, a billionaire, has transformed the Pittsburgh Penguins into a model NHL franchise and was coveted by Commissioner David Stern, who excitedly told Kevin Johnson last year, "You've got Burkle?" Mastrov founded the 24 Hour Fitness chain and finished second in a recent bid to purchase the Warriors, ahead of billionaire Larry Ellison.
Both owners would work with the city of Sacramento using a model of last year's arena plan that was negotiated and agreed upon by David Stern and AEG. Sources say that their interest is derived from Sacramento's burgeoning basketball marketplace, a market they has been evaluated in talks to be a top-5 NBA market when one factors in the lack of other sports competition.
Hanging over the situation is the fact that the NBA has received over $3 billion in public subsidy money for arenas since 1990, and sources with knowledge of the situation maintain that Sacramento's current "model offer" of public funds will not go unrecognized by the NBA's Board of Governors. Aside from a public relations nightmare similar to that of Sonicsgate, the league's ability to secure future funds from cities could be threatened if Sacramento is abandoned for Seattle. Yahoo! Sports and CSN Bay Area have reported that the Board of Governors has already made up their minds to support a move to Seattle, but sources speaking to PBT on the condition of anonymity don't see it that way.
The Sacramento Bee and USA Today were first to report these developments.

Crystal Research Associates, LLC Issues Executive Informational Overview (EIO) on Laep Investments Ltd.
January 25, 2011 08:30 ET | Source: Crystal Research Associates, LLC
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 25, 2011) - Crystal Research Associates, LLC announced today that it has issued an Executive Informational Overview® (EIO®) on Laep Investments Ltd. (SAO PAULO: MILK11). The full 44-page report can be found at www.crystalra.com.
Laep Investments Ltd. ("Laep" or "the Company") was founded to acquire private equity investments with a focus on Brazil, which is ranked as one of the most attractive emerging markets for investors. The Company is opportunity driven and also considers investments in other countries.
Laep assumes an active role in the corporate governance of its assets, seeking to increase their value by implementing strict management and restructuring companies before ultimately divesting them. While primarily focusing on assets that are distressed or that operate in unconsolidated industries, Laep also targets companies that it believes are in solid financial standing to provide a competitive advantage and are synergistic with its existing portfolio, or that represent a solid opportunity.
In 2006, Laep's subsidiary Lácteos do Brasil S.A. acquired a widely known Brazilian dairy company -- Parmalat Brasil S.A. Indústria de Alimentos -- following the bankruptcy of Parmalat Italia, its parent company. As well, the Company has acquired several other Brazilian dairy companies.
In line with a goal of consolidating the Brazilian dairy industry and following a corporate restructuring and debt realignment strategy, Laep entered into a joint venture with Monticiano Participações S.A. Monticiano is also partially owned by GP Investments Ltd., a Latin American private equity firm. Laep holds a 60% minority interest in Monticiano. In late 2010, Monticiano entered into an agreement to acquire its largest competitor, merging its operations and creating a new subsidiary called Lacteos Brasil S.A. ("LBR"), potentially a leading Brazilian dairy company. The merged entities have combined annual revenues of roughly R$3 billion.
Laep's Brazilian depositary receipts (BDRs) are traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) under the ticker "MILK11." As well, the Company is listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

This describes an investing approach in which managers first look at, say, the big picture in the economy. They then predict what industries or sectors are poised to do well, and then they buy stocks within those industries. Some top-down investors begin with quantitative screens to choose sectors, while others take a more thematic approach. An example: playing the "aging of America" theme.


Toulon's owner has reminded former All Blacks Ma'a Nonu and Tom Taylor that he won't accept any drop in standards at the leading French club while dishing out a nasty insult to Quade Cooper.
Unimpressed by the European champions' progress this season, billionaire Frenchman Mourad Boudjellal dished out criticism to some of his high-profile southern hemisphere signings in a rugby magazine interview.
Decorated midfield back Nonu and three-Test utility back Taylor are both in the early stages of their contracts but weren't spared by Boudjellal.
He described some of Nonu's performances as "disappointing" to Quinze Mondial.
"I can't tell you that I don't have concerns when I see the performances of Ma'a Nonu."
Taylor's mixed goalkicking returns didn't impress the owner either.
"I have the impression that Tom Taylor, an All Black, trembles each time he has a penalty attempt."
Toulon have lost five of their 12 games in the French Top 14 championship to be fourth.
They are placed second in their pool in the European Champions Cup in a modest start to their pursuit of a third-successive crown.
"Right now if I say that I'm not happy with our stars, it's only because we expect a lot," Boudjellal said.
"It's true that in our imagination, we want them to fly across the pitch."
The harshest words were reserved for Wallabies playmaker Cooper, who has the unenviable task of replacing English great Jonny Wilkinson at first five-eighth.
"It's difficult to go from foie gras to pate," he said.
"For now, Cooper is not what I was hoping for. But we have to also give him time."


You can easily filter column in a magento grid (see my previous post) but customize a sort is a little bit more hand made.
In this example in the order grid, I want to sort by increment_id, but this is a text fields and I want to sort it by numeric.
Now, how to tell Magento to add "+ 0″ to this sort ?
Override your grid class and modify the "_setCollectionOrder($column)" function.
You are requesting some product on your database and you need to sort results by fixed column values ?
You can use the ORDER BY FIELD() clause.
If you want to do some data loads in a Mysql DB regardless of insert or update statement you can use the INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE request.
Sometimes, phpMyAdmin doesn't export queries properly. To get your file, you can add options to you query to save the result into a file.


Don't worry…I cringed when I wrote that title. How cliché, right. Well, much to my dismay, it's the only four-letter headline that fits my post this week because I literally ventured into the unknown.
Last Sunday I had a 14 mile run on my agenda and I couldn't get my a** out the door in the morning so I decided to do my run at night. Also, as you may remember from one of my earlier posts, I like to run 1/2 of the miles away from my condo, and then turn right round and come back. But with 14 miles on my plate I just couldn't stomach running 7 miles away from my house and then turning around for the other.
So instead I took to Google Maps and mapped out a run that would start 14 miles away from my condo, I'd get a ride to the start, and then run all the way home.
The thing is, 14 miles north took me waaaaaaay into the north of Toronto; into North York in fact. Not even in Toronto.
Yikes! I've never even been to North York before. Well, I guess now's as good a time as any.
My boyfriend and I got into the car and he started driving me to my starting point and as we got farther and farther and farther away from home he looked at me with a look of you've got to be fracking kidding me! I'm taking you where?!
Well, this was for me, very literally, the road less travelled. Or, actually, the road never travelled.
So here I was: 14 miles away from home in a place I've never been before, running at night (as opposed to the early morning when I usually run) and all alone.
The only thing I wanted to do was get home quickly but I knew that if I blew my legs out on the first few miles trying to run too fast, I'd never make it home feeling like a champ – and that's so badly what I wanted. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do this. That I could feel uncomfortable in the uncertainty. The only way to get home was to put one foot in front of the other and go slow and steady.
For those 14 miles I decided to turn off my music and think about other areas of my life I might be feeling uncertain, or scared, or unsteady. I let my brain go into all those spaces that I hadn't been aware of and I just let myself feel uncertain about it all.
That's such a human thing to feel fear or uncertainty or unsteadiness and to try to think our way out of it. But that's not the point. The lesson is to trust ourselves and trust the universe's plan for us and to let it go and let it be. No amount of uncertainty can taint who we are at our core. We are strong.
And what do you know!? I broke so many records that night for myself. There is beauty in the unknown, but we have to let it be revealed to us, and that takes a whole lot'ta courage.
See you on the trails, friends!

Der KamAZ-65117 () ist ein Lastwagen aus der Produktion des KAMAZ-Werks in Nabereschnyje Tschelny. Der seit 2005 gebaute Pritschenwagen ist technisch eng verwandt mit dem Kipper KamAZ-65115 und der Sattelzugmaschine KamAZ-65116.

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

Die Produktion des KamAZ-65117 als Nachfolger des KamAZ-53215 begann im Jahr 2005. Bereits einige Jahre zuvor hatte der Hersteller begonnen, den technisch sehr ähnlichen Kipper KamAZ-65115 zu fertigen.

Während in der ersten Zeit noch Achtzylinder-Dieselmotoren aus hauseigener Fertigung von KAMAZ zum Einsatz kamen, werden heute Sechszylinder von Cummins Engine verbaut. Die Leistung stieg durch diesen Schritt von 260 PS (191 kW) auf 298 PS (219 kW) an. Gleichzeitig wurde der Hubraum von knapp elf Liter auf 6,7 Liter reduziert. Das Getriebe wird vom deutschen Unternehmen ZF Friedrichshafen zugeliefert. Außerdem wurde im Laufe der mittlerweile über zehn Jahre andauernden Produktionszeit das Design des Fahrerhauses überarbeitet.

Neben der Umstellung auf westliche Motoren wurde gegenüber dem Vorgänger vor allem die Nutzlast erhöht. Der KamAZ-65117 ist in der Lage, je nach Ausführung 11,6 bis 14,5 Tonnen zuzuladen. Frühere Modelle waren mit maximal elf Tonnen belastbar. Außerdem werden vom Hersteller mindestens zwei unterschiedliche Radstände angeboten, wodurch die Gesamtlänge des Fahrzeugs zwischen 8,6 und 10,3 Metern variiert.

Neben der üblichen Verwendung im zivilen Bereich kommt der Lastwagen trotz fehlenden Allradantriebs auch beim russischen Militär zum Einsatz.

Technische Daten

Your washing machine works hard, and it deserves a little TLC in return!
Over the years I've gotten dozens of emails from readers complaining about unpleasant smells coming from their high-efficiency front-loading washing machines. I was more than willing to take a look into this issue, but I don't actually own a front-loading washing machine! That makes it difficult to take my usual "hands-on" approach to finding solutions to these kinds of household issues. :-) So I did the only thing I could do – I scoured the internet for information! I read dozens of articles online about washing machine issues, until I had pretty good idea of what was causing those unpleasant washing machine smells.
Since HE washers use less water and energy than standard washers, eventually detergent residue, dirt, mildew and minerals can build up inside the machine. This buildup often results in odors, and can even cause your clothes to come out of the wash in a less-than-clean state.
Make sure the drum of your washer is empty, then select the "clean cycle" or "tub clean" setting on your washer.
Add 2 cups of vinegar to the detergent tray, which will help get rid of odor-causing deposits and mildew.
Allow the washing machine to run through a complete wash and rinse cycle.
Fill the washer a second time with hot water, also on the "clean cycle" setting (or the hottest, largest setting).
Add 2 cups of bleach to the detergent tray, to remove stains and germs that may be lurking in the wash tub. Again, allow the machine to run through a complete wash and rinse cycle.
If all of the stains are removed, run an additional cycle without adding anything to the water. This will thoroughly rinse away any remaining residue.
Remove the bleach dispenser, fabric softener dispenser, and any other removable parts from your washer's detergent tray.
Fill a bucket with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Drop the detergent tray pieces into the bucket and let them soak for a few minutes.
After soaking for a few minutes, pick the pieces out of the bucket and clean them thoroughly with a sponge or cleaning rag. Dry the parts and return them to their original position in your detergent tray.
Next, pull back the rubber seal at around the washer door to inspect it for deposits, mildew, and other yucky stuff.
If it need to be cleaned, which it probably does, mix together 1 cup of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon of warm water in a bucket. Moisten a clean cloth with the bleach water solution, then use the damp cloth to wipe down the seal.
After wiping the seal down with the bleach water cloth, follow with a clean, dry cloth to help remove any remaining moisture from the seal area.
Finally, use a damp cloth or an all-purpose cleaner to wipe down the outside of your machine to get it looking as clean outside as it is on the inside!
Just follow the 5 steps above, and your front-loading washing machine hould be in tip-top shape once again! And remember that this is a process you should be doing regularly – at least once per month.
After completing a wash cycle, take the clothes out of the washer as soon as you can.
Leave the washer door ajar to let the door and drum dry between uses.
Wipe down the rubber seal and drum with a cloth or paper towel.
Pull the detergent tray out to let it dry.
These simple steps should keep your washer running efficiently and your clothes smelling fresh!
I run a short hot wash with a dishwasher puck (unwrapped solid ones,not the liquid ones) on a regular basis. Works well, no bleach smell, no excessive suds like you can get if you use a laundry puck.
I've noticed too that when using bleach, spring for the good stuff. The stronger 6% works way, way better than the off brand 3.5%. Also, after wiping the seals with the bleach solution, give a wipe with plain water to rinse off some of the bleach. Bleach will eventually eat up the seals and cause them to break down and leak.
Thank you so much for all of your advice! I've been following you for years and you're my go to person when I look up anything!!
How do i clean all the lint out of my matching dryer. I clean the screen but I cant get the lint out of the great.
Thanks for the cleaning tips for the front-load washers. I wasn't sure what would help with odors. I'm allergic to bleach, do you have another suggestion?
Thanks. I have really enjoyed your website.
I will try this . Thank you for your help. I love the washer hate the smell.
Thank you Jillee for all your advices in so many subjects. I always look forward to receiving them and follow. I will be doing this washing machine cleaning from now on. Many many thanks. and wish a wonderful Sunday and week ahead.
Thanks! With the number of people living in my house, and thus the amount of laundry my poor machine sees. monthly cleanings are a great idea… one I'm kind of ashamed I didn't think of myself. : ) Keep up the great posts, Jillee!!!
P.S. I'm excited to try your breakfast quesadillas tomorrow morning!
Trying this out this weekend! Never realized how much more effort the front loading set would be…. thanks, Jillee!
This was simple, easy and effective. Thank you.

Ukraine's 2014: a belated 1989 or another failed 2004?
Sean L Hanley19 February 2014

Whatever their final outcome, the events in Ukraine seem likely to be of greater long-term import than the 'Orange Revolution' in 2004. But, asks Andrew Wilson, a long-term what?
Whatever their outcome, the events in Ukraine seem likely to be of greater long-term import than the 'Orange Revolution' in 2004. Ukrainians themselves are obviously debating their meaning and making comparisons with other momentous years in Ukrainian and general European history. But which year?
This is not about geopolitics: this isn't 1939, some replay of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with two titans dividing up Eastern Europe. Russia thinks geopolitically, but the EU does not, and until fairly recently the US has been just a voice offstage. The whole point of the debacle at the Vilnius Summit was the clash between the completely different modus operandi of Russia and the EU.
There hasn't been a proper post-Vilnius post-mortem yet (you can't have a post-mortem till you identify the body). A technical rethink of the EU's Eastern Partnership policy is inevitable. But the whole point is that it is too technical. As I said to the NYT, the EU took a baguette to a knife fight. The Eastern Partnership is an 'enlargement-lite' policy at the very moment when Russia is committed to some heavy lifting. If there is a 'struggle over Ukraine', as so much of the media is determined to frame it, it is clearly a very unequal struggle. (more…)

The GAPS diet is a natural treatment for neurological and physical conditions in the body.
GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Gut Physiology Syndrome) establishes a connection between the state of a person's digestive system and the health of the rest of their body. This term was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, MMedSci (neurology), MMedSci (human nutrition), after working with hundreds of adults and children dealing with different types of neurological and physical conditions.
We are living in a time, with a growing epidemic of people dealing with mental and physical illness, such as autism, spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, bi-polar disorder, auto-immune conditions, allergies, digestive disorders and more. The GAPS diet is a natural treatment for all these conditions and more.
Around ninety percent of the immune system is located in the digestive system (the gut), if the gut isn't functioning properly, the rest of the body can't function properly. A weak immunity is the true cause behind illness's. Working on strengthening the gut, strengthens the immune system, which benefits all the functions in the body.
The GAPS diet provides the framework to heal the gut (the digestive system), through whole food and some supplementation. It encourages specific types of foods that are healing to the digestive system, while at the same time limiting certain types of carbohydrates that are damaging to the gut. People who are dealing with digestive sensitivity, cannot adequately digest carbohydrates, and the undigested food becomes fuel for the bad intestinal microbes, thus fueling disease in the body, The GAPS diet removes the food source for the bad microbes, and encourages large amounts of foods that aid in properly healing the digestive system.


Energy use determines the amount of money you spend monthly on utility expenses. AC Maintenance is critical and plays an important role in saving you unnecessary expenditures. In addition, you get to have the use of the unit for a number of years that it is guaranteed to perform. Routine maintenance of the unit also ensures that you will not have to prematurely replace it.
The unit should be given adequate attention to ensure optimum performance. The different parts such as filters, coils, drain, and fins should be satisfactorily maintained. If regular upkeep is not carried out the performance of the unit will definitely decline. More importantly, energy use will rise as much as 15%.
In addition to regular cleaning of the filters, they should be inspected to determine if they should be replaced. Air flow will be restricted if dirt is in the filters. Heat absorption by the coils will be reduced if dirt is allowed to collect on them. When any area of the unit is not working properly, this will eventually negatively affect the other areas.
You can get to reuse some filters if they have been adequately maintained. But the replacement is necessary for sometimes in order for the unit to effectively perform. There are situations that require more attention to be given to the filters. For instance, if a pet that sheds fur lives in the house. Also, if the area that the unit is placed is dusty or if it is turned on most of the times, the filters should be inspected more regularly.
The window seals is another area that also needs regular cleaning. A technician who is experienced and knowledgeable in the field of AC maintenance will be able to do what is necessary to have your AC running efficiently and for a long time.
Proud to be providing AC Maintenance in North Aurora, Aurora, Villa Park, St Charles, Batavia, IL, and Surrounding Areas! It's our hometown and your comfort is our business. Contact us today.


Gary Spatz and The Playground feted their 2010 graduates with a red carpet reception and graduation ceremony emceed by Nickelodeon star Ashley Argota. The event was held at the AMC 15 Century City. Argota, a 2009 graduate of The Playground, is currently starring on Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP.
Gary Spatz, director of The Playground, (http://www.theplaygroundlosangeles.com) has taught acting classes for children for over 20 years. He has worked with stars such as Dylan and Cole Sprouse of The Suite Life and The Suite Life on Deck, as well as Argota, who says "I think that The Playground is a huge part of why I got my role on True Jackson, VP. Without their help, I don't think I'd be here right now!
The lessons that I was taught during my time at The Playground will be with me for the rest of my life." Argota stars as Lulu on the Nickelodeon hit comedy True Jackson, VP. Spatz has also worked as the children's acting coach on shows such as Roseanne, Everybody Loves Raymond, and The New Mickey Mouse Club.
The Playground is an on-camera conservatory where young actors can challenge and stimulate their abilities. The Playground is located in Century City, adjacent to the Westfield Shopping Center. Spatz founded The Playground in 2005 and currently teaches classes and serves as director of the conservatory program.


On September 30th 2010 I bought Andrew Glassner's book 'Processing for Visual Artists, How to create expressive images and interactive art'. An impressive book which has taken my programming to another level. I have done some jobs in the real world with the Processing language since than but I found that there was not enough progress for a while. But on April 17th I received an email from Andrew Glassner where he announced an 8-week class that you'll learn not only the tools of modern computer graphics, but also the techniques and principles that make them work. The class is completely designed and taught by Andrew Glassner who has more than 25-years of experience in computer graphics.
So on May 8th 2013 I joined the 2D Animation and Interaction course at 'The Imaginary Institute' lead by Andrew Glassner. After going through the very interesting movies and program examples I had to do some homework. The homework assignment was divided in three parts. First part is to create a composition of rectangles. Second part is to create a composition of ellipses. And the third part is to create a composition of rectangles, ellipses and lines. I have to use comments to describe what the code does. And don't use Processing language elements we have not covered yet. When ready zip the files end send them to Andrew Glassner. He will than create a personalized video with expert feedback on my homework.
I started the composition with something I did not know. Although I work for three years with Processing I never noticed (or felt the need to) create a rectangle using negative numbers. That means for instance: rect (-10, -10, 20, 20). This seems to be fully legal code. So I started to use the idea of using negative numbers to create the first composition using only rectangles. Here is my starting point.
The second step was to check the positioning of the rectangles. Do they nicely fit in the width and height. It looked like that an imaginary grid of 20 x 20 pixels would seem to be fine. I also found out that using zero's would lead to a zero displayed rectangle (nothing is displayed). So I left out the zero number.
I filled the black background with white rectangles which were all sized between -10 and 10 pixels in width and -10 and 10 pixels in height. The sizes were chosen fully arbitrary by me (in my head). To code this graphic image, using only Processing's rect function, you need to type 1457 lines of code. You don't have to type everything of course because you can use TextEdit to copy and paste. Or use TextEdit's find and replace stuff. That gave me the following graphic image.
Than I used colour. I decide to change the background into a dark grey. The rectangle would be filled with cyan when the rectangle would use two positive width / height numbers (7, 7). The rectangle would be filled with magenta when the rectangle would use two negative width / height numbers (-10, -10). The rectangle would be filled with black when a negative and a positive width / height number (-3, 7) was used. Together with the color statements and comments this lead to 2208 lines of code. Here is the result.
The ellipses composition was an easy one because I could re-use the code for the rectangles composition. Copy all rectangle code into TextEdit and use find and replace to replace the rect function with the ellipse function. Easy and a great time-saver! Here it is.
But although there was nothing wrong with the graphic image I thought that it might be better to give it another try. I thought it would be better to do something else than to let TextEdit do the job. So I filled my 20 x 20 grid with random sized circles of 10, 15 and 20 pixels.
I used cyan to fill the 10 pixels ellipses. Magenta to fill the 15 pixels ellipses. And I left the 20 pixels sized ellipses transparent. Maybe I could have made that choise different but I was to far gone in the code already to change that. Otherwise I had to start all over again with scattering the filling statements through te program. So I just continued.
To finish everything with comments and to fill most of the ellipses I had to write 2522 lines of code.
This last homework assignment started a bit different from the previous two assignments. I decided to split the 800 x 800 sized window into 4 fields. Each field contains 17 squares in width and 17 squares in height. Each square is measured 20 x 20 pixels. Top left field would be used to be filled by crosses created with lines. Top right field would be filled with ellipses. Bottom left field would be filled with rectangles. And bottom right field would be filled with multiply signs made with lines. But first I checked if all the sizes would match. So I created this image.
When I added all the crosses in the top left square it looked very boring. You could not see the crosses at all. It was just a bunch of horizontal and vertical lines. So I added an arbitrary color to most of the lines in order that they stand out and could be seen as a separate lines. I also decided to leave the gray lines in the background because it looked good to me.
Filling the top right square with ellipses looked also pretty flat. And because I thought it would even be more humdrum when the ellipses were placed exactly into a gray box I positioned them at the crossings of the grey lines. 10 Pixels down and 10 pixels to the right that is.
Using the same cyan, magenta and black colours as in the previous sketches makes it a bit less monotonous.
After positioning all the rectangles in the lower right square I thought it was wrong. I did not like the fact that the ellipses in the top right box were not aligned with the crosses in the top left box. And I also did not like that the rectangles were not aligned with the top left field filled with crosses. So I had to redo the positioning of the circles and the rectangles. That took me another extra 1023 repositioning lines of code. This is what I ended up with.
And this is the final image which. I have removed the gray lines and added the multiply signs in the lower right square. I have also made the lines thicker. They are now six pixels thick. This code is 3050 lines long. Which gives a grand total of the three images together of 7780 lines of code. Which is probably the most code I have ever typed. It is completely inefficient but it is a nice experiment in patience and endurance.

A new statewide system seeks to improve access and equity around early childhood education and care
WCBU | By Tim Shelley

https://bit.ly/3bFGc3W
Three separate state agencies are responsible for doling out funding for pre-K programming in Illinois. That makes it harder for providers and parents alike to navigate the bureaucracy to obtain funding and services.
Last year, the Illinois Commission on Equitable Early Child Education and Care Funding recommended a new approach emphasizing more coordination.
Cicely Fleming
Cicely Fleming is state director of Birth to Five Illinois, the new agency designing a statewide regional and local infrastructure for early childhood education and care.
"Instead of our state agencies using a variety of data points to try to determine where they needed to increase or even decrease early learning opportunities, we're trying to kind of redesign the system so that those decisions that are made on the state level really are coming from exactly what the community has identified as their priorities," said Fleming.
Birth to Five Illinois recently completed hiring 39 regional council managers around the state, aligned with Regional Offices of Education. That includes Kari Clark in Peoria County. Those managers will organize action councils comprised of local officials, business owners, and faith leaders to advocate for early childhood education. Adjoining family councils will offer a way for parents and caregivers to offer input.
"We need to hear from everybody so we can make sure that we're partnering with you to really advocate on the state side, and in terms of what you need," Fleming said. "And that's going to be so different across the state because our state is so diverse in a variety of ways. That's why this focus is on local."
The councils will complete a "regional scan," or essentially, a needs assessment, Fleming said. Those will be assembled by Birth to Five into a larger presentation for state agencies.
"Our role really, is to make sure we educate the state entities on what we're finding and what the needs are. And obviously, you know, encourage them to meet those needs as best they can," she said.
Fleming noted the Commission found disparities in kindergarten readiness on a variety of levels, across various racial, economic, and geographic backgrounds.
"If we don't talk to the community and to the parents, we don't really know why certain kids are entering not kindergarten ready, whether it's because they don't have access to quality care, (or) it's because the care that's available does not meet their family's needs," she said.
Fleming said many parents don't feel it's safe to bring their kids back due to COVID-19, and prefer home-based care, but the state has also lost a lot of homecare providers in recent years. She said there's also no state-subsidized early learning happening available in the evenings for kids whose parents who work night shifts.
"I think the only way we can kind of look at those inequities and really fix them is to understand why they exist, understand why they exist on our side in the system, and understand why they exist on the parents' side," Fleming said. "And I think unfortunately, a lot of times, decisions are still made from a deficit model. So we assume that African American families aren't reading to their kids at night, or Latinx families aren't putting their kids in home daycare."
Instead, she said assumptions are often made. In Chicago, for example, there's a waitlist for Head Start programming. But Fleming said the reasons aren't well-understood. She said it's unclear if Head Start has a waitlist because it is more affordable, has better hours, or simply because it's the only option available for many families.
Ultimately, Fleming said Birth to Five wants to shift the focus from early childhood education to the whole child, including the housing and behavioral health issues which can negatively impact a child's development.
"What are those other supports that we know we need to get to our youngest learners so that they can thrive in our schools? Because school makes up only one piece of that," she said.
