AS the banging on the door got louder and he stirred to his senses, Tony James knew something was wrong.
Moments earlier he'd been sound asleep in a hotel between Southport and Boston, conked out at 10.30pm as Newport County's schedule had become so frantic they couldn't even return home between away games. But with that bang on the door, everything changed. James woke from his dreams to a nightmare.
The knock was from skipper David Pipe. The reason was that James needed to urgently call his wife who had been forced to take to social media in an effort to track down her husband.
And the news was shattering.
James' father had died.
"It was a strange week to begin with as we were away for not just one but two games, the Tuesday in Southport and then Gateshead in Boston on the Thursday," said James, who is from Cwmbran.
"This was on the Wednesday night and I was rooming with Byron Anthony and I was so tired I'd gone to sleep and turned off my phone by about 10pm.
"We'd had a good result on the Tuesday and I was trying to get ready for the game on Thursday.
"My wife was trying desperately to get hold of me but obviously it was going straight to voicemail. I woke up to a bang on the door from Pipey and he told me I needed to call home. At that moment, everything goes through your mind, but you are obviously incredibly worried.
"I called home and she told me about my dad straight away."
James' father, Malcolm, 69, had shown no sign of ill health as his son departed for a tough week on the road. They had last seen each other on the previous Friday.
In a tweet sent on the day of the game with Gateshead, James perfectly encapsulates the situation he found himself in.
"Could I possibly be further away from home at a time like this?"
Simple, emotive and not fussy, very Tony James.
Indeed, such was James' professionalism, many of his fellow squad members didn't even know of his tragedy, the news confined to an inner circle.
"I knew pretty much straight away I would stay on with the team and play on the Thursday night, it's what my dad would've wanted," he explained.
"Personally, I think being busy and pre-occupied with the game helped me, I spoke to my brother and I knew there was very little I could do at the time.
"But I think I did a good job of handling it, a lot of the boys didn't even know."
James was the Argus star man at Boston and how the situation was handled in County's home game with Dartford was left up to the former Hereford man.
"The gaffer came to me and put it in my hands, he asked if I'd prefer to do something at the game or keep it in house and I decided it would be nice to celebrate my dad, because he loved coming to games."
The result was a minute's applause with the James family stood side-by-side with the players as Rodney Parade paid their respects.
"It was very emotional, it was a nice thing for me and the family, I am glad we decided to do it," said James.
"But I knew in that game it was all taking a toll. I went off before the end with a slight muscle pull, and with everything that was happening, I told the boss I thought it best I didn't start on Monday."
But James is ready and available for the run-in to County's fantastic season and knows the perfect ending to what has been such a difficult time for his family.
"It's promotion, of course, that's the ideal ending, it'd be brilliant," he said.
"The playoffs are a lottery but if it goes that way we have nothing to fear."
And James certainly has nothing to fear from what is ultimately only a game.
No football fan in the country would question his courage or professionalism.

The TUSD Governing Board unanimously voted to spend $1 million on salary adjustments to a targeted group of longtime teachers whose pay has stagnated.
The teachers, who have been with Tucson Unified School District for a significant number of years, have become victims of salary compression. While raises for current teachers have been limited by annual budget cuts, new hires often come in at higher pay.
How many teachers, which ones and how much they could receive will be determined following an analysis to identify what teachers are being paid and how close they are in pay to others, newly-seated TUSD Superintendent H.T. Sanchez said.
The phenomenon, which is widespread across many organizations, has made it difficult for TUSD to retain teachers, said Dan Ireland, vice president of the Tucson Education Association.
"Have there been teachers who have left because they're frustrated by their pay? Yes," Ireland said. "It has had a negative impact on our ability to retain teachers within the first five to 15 years of their career because they make marginally less."
Ireland is familiar with the situation, having been with TUSD for nine years but earning what a second-year teacher would because the district discontinued a practice that allowed teachers to move up a step on the salary scale annually.
Now, a teacher hired from outside of the district with the same amount of experience would rank higher on the salary scale because their years of teaching would be taken into consideration, he said.
"We'd like to see the salary compression issue fixed," Ireland said. "Anything will help."
Sanchez, who just started last week, agrees something must be done but acknowledges the $1 million investment will only go so far.
"It won't fix everything, but it's a start," he said. "It's my opinion that there should be separation in pay between the first- and the fifth-year teachers, and the fifth- and the 10th-year teachers.
"We have to honor those people who have committed their time of service to TUSD," he said.
The money for the salary adjustments will come from $4.2 million in increased funding from the state. The increase is technically a restoration of inflation funds the state was supposed to have been providing. The funds were restored after a court ruled lawmakers were violating a 2000 voter-approved law that requires inflation adjustments.
"I think people acknowledge that teachers are raising a fair point here," said Governing Board Member Mark Stegeman.
In addition to the salary adjustments, TUSD plans to use $500,000 of the inflation funds to restore custodial and preventative maintenance services - to an extent.
The two areas suffered major cuts this spring while the district worked to resolve a $17 million deficit. The preventative maintenance shop was eliminated entirely while custodial services took a $2 million cut, reducing about 57 positions.
At the time, blue-collar workers pleaded with the Governing Board to reconsider, saying children and schools would suffer. The Governing Board promised to restore services as much as possible should additional funding become available.
"The safety of our facilities is important, and these funds will be allocated for such purpose," Sanchez said.
However, exactly what services will be restored will also take some time to determine.
Sanchez has ordered studies on how to spend the additional money allocated to custodial and preventative maintenance - possibly to hire employees or to invest in services that will assist with future upkeep.
"It's a matter of what industry standards are and how we measure up," Sanchez said. "We want to be the best and take care of our people the best, but we have to approach the industry standard first, and then we'll work on exceeding it."

Photos of Robert Pattinson in Costume Filming Bel Ami and Drinking Tea in London
First Photos: Robert Pattinson Makes Time For Tea in His Bel Ami Costume!
Robert Pattinson was on the London set of Bel Ami this morning, dressed in his old-timey costume and strolling behind the scenes with a mug of tea. He's home in England again after a whirlwind week of promoting Remember Me in NYC, with many interviews surrounding his big Monday night premiere with Kristen Stewart. He left town on Tuesday evening, but we just got a behind-the-scenes peek at him and Kristen having fun with his family at the screening's afterparty. His film doesn't hit the big screen until next Friday, but for now Rob seems fully occupied working on his period piece with Uma Thurman.

It seems ages since I submitted my last story, but we have been very busy of late. Kelly and I have our own business, and it takes us into Europe fairly regularly.

It was a real thrill to get back from our holiday and find our story in the 'lushstories' list, posted on April 7, and titled 'Our First Unplanned Group Sex'. Since then we have enjoyed many planned multi-cock sessions, along with a few which came 'out of the blue'. I suppose that first one was 'planned' in a way, but not directly by us, and we were total novices in the game. In all...

Kelly and I met at university, and married shortly after graduating. We thought we would travel a bit before settling down, and worked around Europe in various jobs. After nearly three years we found ourselves at a Spanish resort. I was giving tennis lessons at a big hotel, while Kelly lectured on Spanish history to interested guests, and in the evening was a barmaid at a large...

CONGRESS WINDS DOWN; Excerpts From Clinton's News Conference on His Programs
Published: October 8, 1994
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7— Following are President Clinton's opening statement and excerpts from his news conference at the White House today, as transcribed by the Federal Information Systems Corporation, a private transcription service:
Ladies and gentlemen, 20 months ago I came here to make a start to make America work for ordinary citizens again, to take on some tough issues too long ignored, to get our economic house in order. There have been some tough fights along the way, but I believe they were the right fights for our future.
We came here with an economic strategy that was comprehensive and direct: reduce the deficit, expand trade, increase investment in people and technology and reinvent the Government to do more with less. We pursued this strategy with discipline. Now we have fresh evidence that the national economic program we put into place last year is beginning to work for America.
The Department of Labor reported today that the unemployment rate fell to 5.9 percent, a four-year low, and the economy has created about 4.6 million jobs since I took office. More jobs in high-wage industries were created this year alone than in the previous five years combined. It's not enough, of course.
As the Census report makes clear, there are still too many Americans working for low wages, living in poverty. There are places in rural and urban America where the recovery has not yet reached. But since, if you look at the changes since just a few short years ago, when we were exporting jobs and exploding the deficit, there's a great difference. We are getting our economic house in order, jobs are being created at home, we are moving in the right direction.
This Congress, as it concludes a difficult session, showed that it could make a difference for ordinary people when it put people and progress ahead of narrow interests and partisan obstruction. It didn't always happen, so let's begin with a look at the record, what's been done, what hasn't been done, where do we go from here? Let's begin with what was accomplished.
The economic plan passed, putting our house in order. It was historic deficit reduction, led by cutting over $255 billion in spending, cuts in 300 separate Government programs, raising taxes or tax rates on only the top 1.2 percent, cutting taxes for 15 million working families with 50 million Americans in them -- people who work full time but still hover just at the poverty line -- so that people will always be encouraged to choose work over welfare and won't have to raise their children in poverty if they do.
We've broken down trade barriers, eliminated barriers to exports, passed Nafta. Exports to Mexico are up 19 percent; exports of cars and trucks up 600 percent in the last year.
They talked for more than a decade around here about making government smaller, but it never seemed to happen. Well, now it is. Under our legislation, we're shrinking Federal positions and cutting the Federal work force by 272,000, to its smallest size since the Kennedy Administration. And now again I say, private sector jobs are going up; the deficit is going down.
For the first time in a generation, we've taken a serious assault on crime, passing the Brady bill and the crime bill with its 100,000 prison cells, its 20 percent increase in police on the beat, its ban on assault weapons, its "three strikes and you're out" and other penalty laws.
The Government is beginning to work for ordinary citizens in important ways. That's what the family leave law was about. That's what the law which will provide immunizations for all children under 2 by 1996 is about. That's what Head Start for 200,000 more kids is about. That's what the National Standards of Educational Excellence, with more local control, apprenticeships for kids who don't go to college, national service so people can earn money for college and serve their communities, and making college loans more affordable for 20 million people who can now have lower interest rates, lower fees, longer repayment schedules.
It's what the empowerment zones and the community development banks to bring free enterprise to poor communities are about.
All of this was real progress. It's only a beginning, and more could have been done, but too many times an idea for creating jobs, reforming government, educating students or expanding income, fighting crime or cleaning up the environment or reforming the political system was met by someone trying to stop it, slow it, kill it or just talk it to death.
A lot of the same people just recently signed that so-called Contract with America, a commitment to taking us back to the Reagan-Bush years, when we exploded the deficit, cut Medicare, cut taxes for the wealthiest in America, divided our citizens and sent our jobs overseas.
My contract with the American people is for the future. Grow the economy, fight crime, take on the tough problems, make government work for ordinary people. Congress is leaving town without passing GATT, the world's largest trade agreement. It will cut global tariffs, and over the next decade that means a $744 billion tax cut. It will generate hundreds of thousands of new jobs for American workers. It will keep our recovery going and sustain growth all around the world. We must not retreat on GATT. That's why I've asked Congress to return and pass it after the election, and I believe they will do that.

Infiniti Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello my name is XXXXX XXXXX Thank you for your question.
which major service?
How many miles on the car?
ok, with the 105k service
You get spark plugs..
That is one of the biggest things about the 105k service
The service is mainly like a 15k miles service but you get plugs..
So you will get a oil and filter change, Tires will be rotated and balanced, Wipers replaced, Battery checked, Air filter, Incabin filter
Full inspection and Spark plugs
Top off all fluids of course
No belts because the estimated cost was $1500...
Belts would have been done at 90k miles
If you didn't do your 90k mile service, they may recommend it if the belts are bad
Spark plugs with parts and labor is around 4 to 500..
I don't know what the other 1k dollars is
Oh ok...so i wonder why it is so high. Is it because I am a woman..lol
The service with spark plugs I would think all together should be around 900 or so
I can double check our price menu at work tomorrow and get back to you if you like..
I would appreciate it.
I will reply back to you on here some time tomorrow and let you know
So to return back to check all you would need to do is log back into JustAnswer.com and go to My Questions..
You will find this question there.
Your user name and password XXXXX have been emailed to you.
Thank u.
So for now, just click Save & Exit
Talk to you tomorrow.
Thanks Jay!
Ok, Thank you for waiting. I just checked to see how much we charge for the 105k service for the 8 cylinder.
850 is what we charge for the 6 cylinder, and it's 1k dollars for the 8 cylinder.
So unless your having other work done, I can't see why it would be 1500 for the service.
If you have any more questions on this, please feel free to ask.
If not, and your satisfied with my help, please Rate me. I hope I have provided you Excellent Service
The amount of mileage I gave you was inaccurate. I looked at it when I got off of work. Anyway, it is nearly 200k. Does this make a difference?
The last major tune up I had was at 120k.
If you had spark plugs done at 120k miles, then you shouldn't be due for plugs yet.
You should be having I guess it would be a 190k service which is like a 30k mile service.
That gets belts and that service is around the price of the 105k 6 cylinder service
Around 850
Sorry, I am now working
Do you have any more questions on this?
Nope. I think I have all that I need to make an informed decision about where to take my car. Are you MD?
oops, that should say are you in Maryland (MD)?
No I am in NJ
If not, and you're satisfied with my help, please Rate me. I hope I have provided you Excellent Service.

EAST LANSING - Draymond Green made a phone call to Michigan State Associate Head Coach Mark Montgomery on Friday night.
"What time is your game on Saturday?" Draymond asked.
"What?" Montgomery answered.
"What time is your game?"
"Hey," Montgomery said, half-jokingly angry but undoubtedly serious, "you don't worry about us. You have a state championship game to play. You need to be thinking about going and winning that state title!"
And that, Draymond Green did on Saturday. The future Spartan scored 21 points and had 19 rebounds in leading Saginaw High to a 90-71 victory over Detroit Pershing in the Michigan Class A state championship game.
"Now I have to call Coach Montgomery and tell him we did it," Green said.
Green was a huge factor, as usual, for the 27-1, nationally-ranked Trojans, who won their second straight state title.
When Saginaw's players were awarded championship medals at the post-game ceremony, Green stooped down and kissed the Spartan Block S at midcourt.
"Man, I'm going to be here for four more years," said Green, who signed with MSU in November. "That's my court. It's home. Just like the seniors do on senior night, that was my last game wearing the Trojan uniform.
"I feel very comfortable here. I felt very comfortable before today. If I didn't, I wouldn't have signed here in the first place.
"It's all based around family here, and that's what I like.
"I told my mom I was going to do it (kiss the Block S), and she said I had better do it."
Saginaw dominated from the beginning, jumping out to a 22-12 lead. Their lead fluctuated between 13 and 22 points from the midway point of the second quarter, on.
Tennessee commitment Daniel West scored 21 with 6 assists at point guard (one turnover). He was quick, decisive and deceptively strong. He can hit the open jumper, or move the ball expertly to teammates.
Budding junior Mike Green, a 6-foot-1 shooting guard, scored a game-high 29. He was 10-of-19 from the field and 6-of-13 from long range.
"For a man (Draymond Green) to have 21 and 19 rebounds in a state championship game, and for Mike (Green) to drop 29, and D West managed the basketball game, you can't ask for anything more as a coach," said Saginaw head coach Lou Dawkins.
"What these young men presented today was amazing. We shot lights-out from the perimeter.
"We have a lot of doubters out there, didn't think that we would be able to do it. When we get threatened, that brings out the best in these young men."
When asked if his team is the best in the nation, Dawkins said: "Oh yeah. We tried to get some of those teams that play on TV to play us. I don't know what happened. We tried and we pushed it. And we feel in our heart, you can bring on anybody, and we'll meet you in Russia, Japan or wherever.
"A lot of it is hype. These young men are from the city. I don't care who you bring. We live and die for basketball."
Draymond Green has been the cornerstone. A year ago, he played more of a face-up power forward in helping Saginaw win the state title while Josh Southern (now at St. John's) manned the post.
"I'm willing to do whatever is best for my team," Green said. "Last year, I was needed outside. But this year, I knew I was going to be the biggest person on our team, so I had to go inside and I had to make my living down there. Like my old assistant coach Bruce Simmons used to tell me, when I get down low, it's my money. But when I get outside, it's the butter."
No one is exactly sure what that means, but it was Green's second reference to the dairy product of the night.
"It's something you dream of as a child just to win one state championship, and to win two is just unbelievable," Green said. "
"You can't even explain it in words. Those are going to be memories forever. I mean we're in history.
"Everybody thought, when we lost a lot of our players, that we weren't going to go back. But we all knew. Like coach always says, the only people that knew what was going on between our team is us. The things that go on in our gym stays in our gym. So it's just one big family.
"And then when teams get to talking about us, they are always doubting us, 'Saginaw who?' But you know we've got to go get that butter."
Green got it with his usual assortment of shots. He canned them from the outside, off the dribble, on the boards, at the line. He got tough with a strong, quick, compact drop step on one occasion.
He battled with Detroit Pershing junior Derrick Nix, a 6-foot-9, 300-plus pounder. Nix finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. One day earlier, Nix 17 and 16 in the semifinals against Romulus.
Green had 30 points and 16 rebounds in a 69-49 victory over East Lansing in the semifinals.
Green averaged 25.5 points and 17.5 rebounds in the two games at the Breslin Center this weekend, perhaps causing some Mr. Basketball voters to reconsider their ballots. He finished second to Frankenmuth guard Brad Redford (Xavier) in Mr. Basketball voting.
Green didn't dwell on it after the game.
"For me, to win Mr. Basketball, it was an individual award, but I'm not about individual awards," Green said. "I'm about team awards because we all get the award. Even if I had won Mr. Basketball, it still would have been a team award because without them I can't do anything. So I think God for putting the coaches and teammates in my life to be successful."
Green is vocal on the court, and effervescent off of it, which is somewhat rare for a big man. His big smile is in Magic Johnson's league. He talks team, and commitment to his coaches. His personality is exceptional.
On the court, he isn't quite like anything Tom Izzo has signed in the past. He doesn't seem to fit the traditional Izzo model, in that Green is a big-bodied guy, under 6-foot-8.
Green has the shoulder height, length and strength to play post defense in the Big Ten. He might not be able to handle a Greg Oden type down low as well as a Drew Naymick did, but he should be able to play defense on most post players and pretty much all power forwards. If Jarrett Stephens could do it, Green can do it.
And don't be surprised if he rebounds a lot better than Naymick, despite being at least three inches shorter. Green is quick to the ball, and is hungry for it, a trait that usually translates well to the next level, even with the opposition gets taller. Green will go get it.
On offense, he can shoot the 3 well enough to force defenders to come out and guard him. When they go out there, he has the ball handling ability to go around them, for his shot or the dish. That's the essence of a mismatch power forward, a card Izzo likes to have in his hand but hasn't had often enough in recent years.
Izzo has voiced a desire to go a bit smaller, and more athletic at the post positions in the future. Green, along with fellow 2008 signee Delvon Roe, are a part of that movement. Both are active and highly skilled, with Roe more of the finesse variety and Green possessing a little more brutality. Either player has the capacity to be a menacing face-up four.
If the trend continues for more and more teams to look to go smaller and quicker at the post positions, it's not outlandish to think that they could share the court together against many opponents.
Green's shooting range is a bit better than Roe's. Both players can face and take you off the dribble.
Don't underestimate Green's ability to be a pick-and-pop guy at the four. A.J. Granger turned that role into an art form at MSU. Green can aspire to shoot well enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Granger some day, yet he possesses much better ability to complement that range with driving ability.
MSU scouted Green for a long time before deciding to offer a scholarship last summer. The evaluation took a while partly because he isn't quite a cookie cutter version of any past MSU player. But being the first Draymond Green could have some value too; he might create a new page in the Izzo blueprint.
The closest thing Izzo has had to Green is probably the 2005 version of Alan Anderson, who served as a quick, mismatch power forward at 6-foot-6.
"That's who they (the MSU coaches) compare me to, Alan Anderson," Green said. "I just have to get my body in shape and the sky is the limit for me."
Green is an inch taller than Anderson, with longer arms and bigger boned. Green is much more comfortable making combat in the interior.
Anderson developed an excellent 16-foot shot off the dribble and became a pretty good 3-point shooter. Anderson was the best ball handler on the team for most of his years at MSU and his main weapon was his quick first step when driving against bigger, slower power forwards.
Roe has also been compared to the '05 Anderson as well, but with more height and interior scoring know-how.
No one is quite sure what Green might become if and when he chisels his body.
"I need to work out, tone my body up and lose more weight and just prepare for the college life," Green said. "I'm still not finished listening to my coach. I have to go through some more training with him (Dawkins) to get prepared for college. Three more months till I'll be here."
Green is already listening to Izzo and company.
"I'm on an eating plan right now," said Green, who has battled weight problems at times. "Since I've been on the eating plan for like three weeks, I've already lost 10 pounds. It's a great plan, and I'll start back working out, and not just practicing, but working out one-on-one with Coach, lifting weights, running hills, everything."
What does the plan call for?
"Turkey, turkey bacon, everything turkey, turkey sausages, things with less fat in them," he said.
"I'm going to have to use everything I've been through, because it's not going to be easy. It's a big transition, going from high school to college, and going to the level that I'm going to, it's going to be an even bigger transition.
"Some players don't make that transition as fast as others, but I plan on making it."
MSU coaches have warned Green that he could eat his way to a redshirt if he's not careful. Green doesn't mind demands and motivation.
"Coach Dawkins is the same way," Green said. "He expects the best out of you. He is going to get the best out of his players, and that's what Coach Izzo is about. Everybody calls him a maniac and things like that, he's crazy, but I need a coach like that to push me. If you have a coach that is going to let you shoot 20 shots a game and not get on you, you will never get better. So I need a coach like that to improve each and every day."
AROUND PRESS ROOM: Mick McCabe of the Detroit Free Press offered these Draymond Green comparisons, "Last year, he (Green) was Antonio Gates. Now he is Jay Vincent."
Others around the press area seemed to be agree with the Vincent comparison.
Me? Vincent was more of a turn-around jumper guy from what I remember. I think Green has a little more face-up creativity than was en vogue for post players in the late 1970s and early '80s. You can tell me if I'm wrong at email@example.com
Till then, I'm sticking with my comparison to Popeye Jones, the point pivot mismatch from Murray State whom MSU found impossible to guard in the scariest 1 vs. 16 overtime thriller in NCAA Tournament history, back in 1990.
Jones was a baby-fatted, 6-foot-7 strong guy who could finish with a spin or a drop step in the paint as effortlessly as his ability to face up and drill the 3-pointer. He could also score on anything in between and could jump pretty well. Jones and Green have a similar body type, similar skill set, similar feel for loose balls, similar arm length and hands. Jones had bigger ears.
Green doesn't just have good hands. He has very good hands, Arthur Johnson (Detroit Pershing 2000/Missouri) hands. Special hands.
The arm length, the hands, the hunger to own loose balls could help Green become the type of range rebounder that Izzo has needed and sorely missed in the last two or three years.
ALREADY RECRUITING FOR MSU? Izzo has long said that his program is at its best when his players become his best, most-active recruiters. Well, it appears that Green is already at it.
In the last minute of the state title game, Green was seen smilingly chatting with standout sophomore Pershing point guard Keith Appling. Appling pointed to the Breslin floor and at one point, according to amateur lip readers, told Green, "I'm coming here."
Green answered, "I'd like that."
During post-game interviews, Green was asked about that conversation.
"Oh we were just talking about some things that might take place in the future," Green said, with his big smile getting even bigger. "I can't speak on that. You'll have to ask Keith that."
THE OTHER GREEN As for the other Green, junior guard Mike Green is already on the map as a football prospect for 2009 at wide receiver. His big performance in the state title game will surely cause some eyes to open on the basketball circuit, too.
"He's not flamboyant with his ball handling skills, but if you give that boy an inch, he'll light it up," Dawkins said of Mike Green. "There is room for improvement. He has to get better in the off-season with his ball handling and his stopping and popping."
Mag.com's take: Green can certainly shoot. But the need for more ball handling work became apparent on a couple of left-handed drives in the second half that were a little loose in the handle. But it's easier for a shooter to develop ball handling skills than it is for a ball handler to become a good shooter. He can shoot.

JACKSON — A Mississippi Senate panel is endorsing all six members of the state's first charter school governing board.
The Education Committee voted to recommend that the full Senate confirm the six. They have been serving since last summer, since three were nominated by the governor and three by the lieutenant governor.
The 52-member Senate will consider the confirmations this week or next.
The board chairman is attorney Tommie Cardin of Clinton. The other members are Ocean Springs Schools superintendent Bonita Coleman-Porter, teacher Krystal Cormack of Clarksdale, businesswoman Karen Elam of Oxford, former gubernatorial education adviser Johnny Franklin of Bolton and real estate agent Chris Wilson of Laurel.
Charter schools are funded by tax dollars but are free from some regulations that govern other public schools.

The fall edition of CAAMP survey report is out. This is an excellent piece of free information made available by Will Dunning, via CAAMP. A clear market trend forecast together with mortgage related statistics – this is a gold mine for someone who is looking for some numbers.
Since we favour charts over words, you will find most of the information are graphically represented in this post.
This time Dunning clearly said that the new mortgage regulation will only add insult to the already injured Canadian real-estate industry. We feel that he has a valid point. Despite of weak economic conditions and job losses, Canadians have been paying down their mortgages very consistently.
Canadian borrowers have managed to pay off their mortgages ahead of planned amortization period most of the time. Last year alone they have pumped $23 billion extra payment into their mortgage principle.
About 6% of all home owners took equity out of their property. The average take-out amount was $49,000.
Canadian home owners on an average have 70% equity in their home.
Dunning opposed the forecasts made by CMHC and CREA saying that – regardless of those downplaying the effect of new mortgage rule on Canadian housing market – the aftermath will be serious. Probably he is right. TREB reported a 17% lower sale y/y in mid-November.

Lucy Ann Gooch, infant.
GOOCH, Lucy Ann, Infant daughter of D. A. & M. E., died 23 November 1841.
Inscription: "IN -- memory of -- LUCY ANN -- infant daugh -- ter of D. A. & -- M. E. GOOCH -- who Departed -- this life Nov. -- 23rd 1841."
Studying this information tells us David A. & Margaret E. Gooch had baby daughter Lucy. Lucy & (mother) Margaret died within one month of each other in 1841, probably related to difficulty in the birthing process. This tragedy was repeated time and time again in those days. David would live only 9 more years after this. -- and we think we have it hard today.
A large old Cedar Tree stump is behind this stone. It may be there another hundred years. The wood is very durable. It is also likely the tree was there when the child was interred in 1841.

TEL AVIV (Jun. 25)
Abie Nathan, in the 42nd day of his fast for peace, agreed to enter a hospital today for a medical check up but insists that he will not take food until he has a firm commitment from the government to abolish the military government on the West Bank and end all Jewish settlement there as a gesture for peace.
Nathan has gotten no commitment from the government. But he has been besieged by appeals to end his fast and has received more publicity here than at any time since he piloted his own plane to Egypt twice in the 1960s as a self-appointed one-man peace mission to President Gamal Abdel Nasser. His hunger strike has so aroused the public that it will be the subject of discussion in the Knesset tomorrow. Nathan plans to attend. In fact, although confined to a wheelchair because of weakness from lack of food, he has managed to show up in Jerusalem several times in recent weeks and to appear in busy areas of Tel Aviv.
Nathan last week rejected a personal appeal from Premier Menachem Begin to end his fast. He said Begin's letter was his "death sentence" because it did not meet his conditions for peace. Today, ensconced in his room at the luxurious Dan Hotel on the Tel Aviv sea front, Nathan sifted through hundreds of messages from well wishers supporting his aims but urging him to give up his fast. He also had telephone calls from friends and Cabinet ministers, among them Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon. He said he would enter the hospital for an examination but refused to remain there so that doctors could monitor his condition.

Premier League funds prosecution
The Premier League's determination to protect its intellectual property rights and those of its broadcasters is demonstrated by its involvement in the public prosecution of a man accused of importing cut-price satellite decoder cards.
Brent and Harrow Trading Services was indemnified by the league in the prosecution of a man accused of selling Albanian decoder cards to customers looking for a cheaper way of watching matches. The underlying case has similarities with that of Karen Murphy, the pub landlady from Portsmouth who secured a partial victory against the league at the European Court of Justice in October.
Lord Justice Davis ruled that the warrants were unlawful because Trading Standards failed to disclose the ECJ opinion in the Murphy case to the judge awarding them. In the Murphy case the ECJ ruled that the issue were civil rather than criminal.
Lord Justice Davis said in his decision, 'It would ... be a matter of concern if Trading Standards departments were to take enforcement steps at the behest of, and financially assisted by, powerful and wealthy corporations which otherwise might not be taken. But that ... does not bear on the outcome here.'

no problem :-)
As far as I can see, there's following things:
address field
Should be no problem: Add a new field, store in the db, make it visible on template only if ADMIN
This sounds like there has to be some kind of logic behind this. "I'm interested in further informations, please get in touch" sound like the admin(s) should be informed of such things. Otherwise you'd have to check manually... Not so easy
publish comment
What do you mean? At the moment you can choose to have all entries "disabled" and not showing on the guestbook until "enabled" - except the user is a registered and logged-in member. Comments on the Entries are only possible for logged in users to write.
I'm not sure if the guestbook is the right thing to use as a discussion board. That's normally done with a forum where you can even have multiple threads etc. Doing this with the GB would mean a lot of modification away from the basic purpose...
One thing you made me aware of is this: Maybe I'll implement a possibility to add like 4 or 5 additional form fields which could be enabled and labelled as desired to catch some more user data and be shown on the GB. I'd have to think about maybe having this a bit more dynamic like in the userforms module where you can have different types of fields, boxes, radiobuttons etc. as a form. Could be interesting, especially when it needs to be multilingual. But adding further validation or actions away from the basic things like isNumeric, notEmpty etc. should be done as a customization and not within the GB development.
By the way:
Are there any feature requests (general question)? :-)
Because at the moment I think I'm done with 2.4rc1 compatibility issues - found no more bugs so far and since SilverStripe announce there will be no more API changes from this development stage on... (for 2.4, of course) ... I'm ready for some more developing ;-)

Looking to put my sisters vaction pics on a dvd.
If you mean do a simple slide show with no audio, then many DVD players will do slide shows if you just burn a data DVD with the jpg files on it. Usually the only hassle is if you need to control the order of the slides then you might need to prefix the filenames and folder names with
numbers so your DVD burner software will sort them in the order you want.
If you're looking to do something fancier then give details.
Her dvd player doesn't play jpegs. It's old-fashion, like her
There's a way to convert .jpg images to .mpg stills for use in menus. How well it would work to do a whole bunch I don't know. But I know there's mention of it in some of the guides. You might search on keywords -- TMPGEnc VCDEasy Menu .mpg still image --
on the www.videohelp.com site and you should come up with something
either that or you could make a video of yourself taking each picture off an easel like they used to do in the old movies
OTOH it might be easier just to buy her a new DVD player for $70. Maybe
one of those Philips DVP series that plays nearly everything and is region free.

Jhonen Vasquez, horrifically talented comic book creator, music video and cartoon director, and sometime Jehovah's Witness Protection Program special agent, is recruiting for his World of Warcraft guild, the Order of the Tapeworm:
[…]I'm throwing out an early call for people to start characters on Dunemaul (PVP) and Hydraxis (PVE). In a bit, I'll let the goblins in the guild know that we might expect some new additions to our crew of mostly artists. We were going to recruit way back in the early days and even started a website for the guild, but the thought of adding strangers that would just keep screaming "WHICH OF U IS ROMAN?" was too depressing and so it was left to rot.
The Order of the Tapeworm, as is implied, is also home to spookster comic artist Roman Dirge; original english language manga writer and colorist Rikki Simons (famed far and wide among boob-proffering fangirls as the voice of GIR from Invader Zim); cartoonist and science fiction author Rick Gauger; artist, podcast superstar and ToM cheerleader Chris Furniss (aka Frodo) from the Weekly Geek; yours truly, and a handful of other bitter intellectual types who crave gnome blood and witty banter in equal measure.
All applicants are subject to a questionnaire, urine sample, timed agility/obedience trial, and credit check. No refunds.

Swings in a Park
A seemingly constant fascination for things that are:
If there are nine
Chain seats upon the bar
Then he must swing at every one.
"They are all the same," I say to him each time
And in between each one, "Nine,
And each precisely copied
As some play yard Plato designed—
A perfect set."
But, each suspended chair used up, he whines,
And down the line
We go: hand in hand—one through nine.
"The child is father to the man"
(was it Longfellow who understood?)
And he shall come to understand
When time
Has forced the fragile metal of his mind
Into a closing door
That can no more sweep the open sky
In renewing arcs of flailing feet
Than fly,
Nor ever come so close again
As before.
I see one where he knows nine
And demands to know them all.
It's a bother,
And yet, somewhere, behind
What I've become,
I remember chain chairs in the sun
And a man
Who paced me down the line.

Notre Dame to join ACC as partial member
Posted September 12, 2012
Chapel Hill, N.C. — For the second time in less than a year, the Atlantic Coast Conference is expanding.
The league announced Wednesday that Notre Dame will join the league as a partial member. The Irish will compete as full members in all conference sports with the exception of football which will play five games annually against league programs.
The decision was unanimously approved by the ACC Council of Presidents.
"We are committed to keeping the Atlantic Coast Conference a vibrant and competitive league dedicated to ensuring the appropriate balance of academics, athletic and integrity," the council of presidents said in a joint statement. "The addition of Notre Dame further strengthens the rich tradition and culture of the ACC as well as allowing for future academic collaboration and we enthusiastically welcome them into the league."
"The University of Notre is extraordinarily proud to join this great athletic conference composed of such outstanding institutions of higher education," said Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins. "Notre Dame is fully committed to enhancing the ACC and its member institutions."
As it stands Notre Dame's move to the ACC would become official for the 2015-16 season but Notre Dame Vice President and Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick said they will look into accelerating that. The ACC is already scheduled to add Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the summer of 2013.
Swarbrick said Notre Dame is on pace to begin playing five ACC teams in the 2014 season. Notre Dame will provide open dates on its schedule, and the conference will choose which teams will fill those slots. Swarbrick also said that ACC opponents could be part of special games such as the Shamrock Series in Chicago or Notre Dame's season-opener in Ireland.
"The ACC was founded on the cornerstones of balancing academics, athletics and integrity," ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "Our partnership with Notre Dame only strengthens this long-standing commitment. Notre Dame enhances the league's unique blend of public and private institutions that are international in scope."
"We are delighted to welcome Notre Dame to the ACC," Duke president Richard H. Brodhead said. "Notre Dame's excellence in academics, strong traditions in athletics, and international recognition make them a wonderful new conference colleague. We look forward to the competition on the playing fields and courts, and further collaboration on the campus."
Swarbrick said he began discussing the move with Swofford during the BCS resolution conferences. The two began having more serious conversations about the possibility beginning in the third week of July.
"We have been very deliberate about it. We thought there were several criticial dynamics here, and the biggest one is what the BCS resolution would be," he said. "We worked pretty consistently on it from the time of the BCS resolution until today."
Swarbrick said that moving to the ACC as a partial member is the best course of action for the Irish.
"We are able to maintain our historic independence in football, join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package, and provide a new and extremely competitive home for our other sports," Swarbick said. "This is moving to something great, not away from something."
Notre Dame will keep money from their football and hockey television contracts and get a share of the ACC's non-football TV revenue. As ACC football revenue is 80% of their total deal, basketball/Olympic is 20%, Notre Dame will get a 15th of the 20 percent.
In addition to adding Notre Dame, the council voted to increase the conference exit fees to three times the annual operating budget, which would currently mean an exit fee of over $50 million. The change in exit fees go into effect immediately.
On September 18, 2011 the presidents of the ACC announced the addition of Big East members Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The additions will expand the current 12-team ACC conference to 14. With Notre Dame's addition in basketball the ACC tournament will expand to three Wednesday games and the top four seeded teams will earn a bye.
"Today is a great day for the University of Notre Dame and our athletics department, including the football program," said Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly. "Speaking strictly from a football standpoint, we have further solidified our future as an independent in college football, maintained our unique ability to schedule nationally and greatly improved our postseason bowl game options. I applaud Father Jenkins and Jack Swarbrick for this move. They have set our entire athletics department up for great success in the future."
"There is no need to add a 16th team to the league and there is no intention in doing so," said Swofford Wednesday. "In football we'll be 14 with two even divisions, if we brought a 16th team in that causes an imbalance in basketball."
Fans of local ACC teams have mixed feelings on Notre Dame's addition. While the program brings a national market to the conference, some question how the Indiana school fits into the Atlantic Coast portion of the conference title.
"It's time to scale back, kick Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse out. Keep it down in the south," N.C. State fan Alex White said.
Duke fan Kathleen Fraile thought differently.
"I know they're big on school spirit, and so are we, so it will be good to play them and see how the game environment is," she said.

AMD's Quad FX: Technically Quad Coreby Anand Lal Shimpi on November 30, 2006 1:16 PM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
The Platform
With the recent ATI acquisition under its belt, AMD has started down the path of becoming a platform company. As such it's almost fitting that the most interesting part of today's story isn't the CPUs, but rather the chipset and motherboard that complete Quad FX.
When AMD first talked about Quad FX as 4x4, everyone assumed that we would be looking at a pair of Socket-AM2 CPUs on a desktop motherboard. However as we got closer to launch it quickly became evident that Quad FX would be using Opteron's new Socket-1207 instead. The reason for using Socket-1207 instead of AM2 is simple; in a single socket AM2 system you only need a single Hyper Transport link between the CPU and the chipset, which is provided for in AM2 CPUs. However, with two sockets you need a minimum of two links, one connecting the two sockets and one for the chipset. It's the number of HT links required that forced the 1207-pin socket upon Quad FX. We will get to how this impacts your upgrade path and CPU costs later, but for now just know that Quad FX only works with 1207-pin Athlon 64 FX CPUs (Opterons are prevented from working in the BIOS).
Despite the ATI acquisition, the only Quad FX chipset available at launch is from NVIDIA. Dubbed the nForce 680a, NVIDIA once again gives us a reason to respect its platform group. Although singular in name, the nForce 680a is composed of two 680a SLI chips, each with a x16 and x8 PCIe slot. One of the two chips has an additional 8 PCIe lanes bringing the total up to 56 lanes, more than any other NVIDIA chipset, including the recently released 680i.
The madness doesn't end with the sheer number of PCIe lanes; the 680a also supports a total of four GigE ports, twelve SATA ports and twenty USB 2.0 ports. All of the usual nForce features are present on the 680a, including SLI support, RAID and NVIDIA's networking (FirstPacket and Teaming support). The chipset is a pure beast and we were eager to see an implementation of all of the PCIe, GigE, SATA and USB ports that the 680a supports on the first Quad FX motherboards; unfortunately we were met with disappointment.
AMD's Quad FX platform is launching with a single motherboard partner, ASUS, and a single Quad FX motherboard: the L1N64-SLI WS. The ASUS board features four physical x16 slots (two x16 and two x8), a single x1 PCIe slot and one regular PCI slot.
You also get all twelve SATA ports, but there's only support for ten USB ports and two GigE ports. Obviously the number of people that will complain about not having all twenty USB ports and four GigE ports are limited, but with AMD expecting the L1N64-SLI WS to retail for around $370, we wanted all of the bells and whistles.
We asked AMD when we could expect other Quad FX motherboard designs but at this point it looks like the ASUS solution is it. AMD is working with more motherboard partners but there's no indication if or when additional Quad FX designs will surface.
AMD is guaranteeing a bit of an upgrade path to early adopters of Quad FX by promising that these motherboards will work with AMD's native quad-core CPUs when they are available next year, meaning you'll get support for eight cores in the same platform in less than a year.

I image www.Scan.co.uk in the UK will stock both boards and cpus at realistic street pricing.
And I am seriously thinking of getting one, to put lots of PCIe cards into, and for use WITH A NUMA AWARE OPERATING SYSTEM.
Who knows, Asus may even release a bios upgrade for it!
And also note that there is a similar Asus "Deluxe" board not just the WS workstation variant, so may be a little cheaper.
My other options are a dual socket Opteron board (with expensive memory) or a Core2Quad, using Nvidia 680i chipset which gives less I/O capacity.
Anonymous Freak - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkOr, you could go for a dual socket Xeon system. It would cost near the same, and you'd have the option of two quad-core processors RIGHT NOW. (Rather than late next year.)
Of course, then you run into more expensive (and more power-hungry) memory. But if you are actually looking at such a system, a Xeon might be a better fit. Reply
mino - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkThe problem IS the memory and I/O, these are the strenghts of this solution.

The funny thing beeing, the biggest value of QuadFX is in the exceptional motherboard. Except those those 10 not routed USB ports, that board is a dream come true.
And yes, those 12 SATA3G ports would be a blessing for my storage needs... Reply
peternelson - Friday, December 01, 2006 - link
Nice costings, I'm thinking the same here.
That board has lots of I/O bandwidth.
Since the Gbit ether ports support teaming (2 muxed together), I would have thought it worthwhile for Asus to implement all four rather than two.
Four used separately would make nice routing between lans, and four used as two teamed pairs would give > 1Gbps performance in and out eg as a firewall, or as a server with redundant connection, or to talk to NAS boxes etc. Two extra nets wouldn't push the power consumption up by much.
Hopefully Asus (or other) will produce a rev2 board with the extra ethernets.

There's support for 14 USB ports AFAIK, 4 on the back, and 5 headers on the mobo, which makes 14 I think, which still isn't 20, but it's more than enough, and it's more than 10 :P Reply
mino - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkNo, those 2 headers are for IEEE1394... Reply
SLIM - Thursday, November 30, 2006 - linkIs this just a prelim review only talking about the processors and the real review is still to come? I mean the only reason for this platform to exist is the 4 GPUs not the cpus. Let's see 4 8800gtx's with the FX74s playing at insane resolutions in games that intel simply can't fathom due to the lack of support for 4 gpus (at least as far as I know of).
The 4 gpus are the point of this platform, not power consumption, not 3dsmax... GAMES WITH 4 GPUS! I don't mean to be too abrupt, but the boards got 4 graphics slots for a reason. Reply
Spoelie - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkA single 8800gtx is already being bottlenecked by a core 2, let alone them in SLI.
Quad SLI will not have any performance advantage over SLI, as the processing power to feed them is just not there. Reply
PrinceGaz - Thursday, November 30, 2006 - linkI dread to think what the power consumption of a system with the FX-74s and four 8800GTX cards would be. It would probably be close to 1KW, possibly even around 1100W or so. That would be insane! Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, November 30, 2006 - linkGiven that this "4x4" initiative is apparently going to use NVIDIA graphics cards, and NVIDIA makes both AMD and Intel chipsets, if they decide to do anything with quad G80 chips you can pretty much guarantee that it will be for both platforms. Thus, 4x4 is really 2x2 right now, whereas the 775 platform is 1x4 and Xeon is 2x4. In the future, AMD will have 2x4, and perhaps all the platforms will support some silly quad GPU configuration.
Basically, quad SLI was all about the pissing contest. "Oh yeah, well I have for GPUs and you only have two!" Then there was the completely bogus marketing material that they sent out with quad SLI talking about how great the extra GPUs would be for accelerating physics calculations. I suppose it's possible that in the future such applications will become useful, but almost a year after the initial talk of NVIDIA physics acceleration and we have yet to see any actual demonstration of this capability. Anyway, this Quad FX is just the same thing as Quad SLI: potentially good marketing, but lackluster final performance and terrible heat and power requirements. Reply
