Winners and losers in the Metrodome roof collapse
Metrodome roof collapses, Vikings-Giants game in flux
Various sources are reporting that there's a very, very strong possibility of the game between the Giants and Vikings being moved to Monday night.
We have found the procedures governing the postponement of NFL games and their potential rescheduling. Enjoy!
The Giants left this morning to travel to Minneapolis to take on the Vikings tomorrow. Their flight has been diverted to Kansas City because of conditions on the ground in Minneapolis.
A star CFL wide receiver is going to try out for the Vikings and Steelers next week. Check it out at The Daily Norseman!
Jennifer Sterger is threatening to sue the league and Brett Favre if the league doesn't suspend Favre.
It's been a long time coming, but the Vikings' resilience under interim coach Leslie Frazier yields a truly decisive victory.
The Vikings have officially signed Lorenzo Booker to play running back. The team placed Albert Young on waivers.
It's time once again to hand out another Vikings' game ball, sponsored by the good folks at Sprint.

DALLAS -- Non-profits in North Texas said donations are down from year-to-year, but many are more worried about what the so-called fiscal cliff would mean to their survival.
"I think that the ramifications of this can be catastrophic for non-profits, and we need to be considering how we put together budgets for 2013 based on expectations," said Janette Monear, President of Texas Trees Foundation. "If Congress closes loopholes and raises the taxes on the upper-income areas, we could see donations and giving decline. This decline will have a huge ripple effect for years to come. It has been interesting that no one on the national, state, or local levels are speaking out about this."
Volunteers at the Foster Kids Charity, a Dallas-area 501(c)3, are not as busy as they were last year.
"Last year we served about 2,000 kids on Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year, we're hoping to make a 1,000," said Michelle Armour, Foster Kids Charity.
The need is there, Armour added, but donations are not.
"Yeah, a lot of kids will go with nothing," she said. "We're trying to at least make sure they have a stuffed doll or a brand-new toy - something special to make them feel special and know that we care about them."
Non-profits all over North Texas tell us are feeling the pinch.
The HOPE Center in Arlington owes $8,000 to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. The Family Place, an emergency shelter for women and children, said it is creating a contingency budget. And The Salvation Army said it's still too early to tell how generous donors will be with its Red Kettle campaign.
The fiscal cliff is worrisome not just because taxes might go up, but also because Congress might cut out the income tax deduction for donating to charities, which collectively costs the government $50 billion a year.
"In general, our local non-profit community is already hurting, due to tighter budgets and fewer contributions because of the recession, and if they had to take another hit, some would most certainly not survive. They are barely hanging on now," said Ashlee Kleinert, co-founder of Executives in Action. "Sadly, this is a time when their demand for services has probably never been higher."
"I think it could have a huge impact on what we do everyday," Monear added.
Donors helped the Texas Trees Foundation plant 17,000 trees this year, but Monear said the future of non-profits like hers is threatened with the economy in jeopardy of going over the cliff.
"The less discretionary funds people have," she explained, "the less they have to give. That's the bottom line for non-profits."

Honorary Chairperson:
Fiona Ma, CPA
I am proud to work with the San Francisco Hep B Free Campaign in helping to educate and raise awareness among the general public about this deadly disease. It is through knowledgeabout hepatitis B prevention and treatment that we can stop most liver cancers, which are caused by the Hep B virus.
As a person who has chronic Hep B infection, I know how important it is to know one's status. I encourage everyone to get tested as soon as possible. The hepatitis B virus is known as the "silent killer" because there are often no symptoms. By the time symptoms do show, it is often too late to take advantage of the manytreatment options.
Those who test negative for hepatitis B infection can get a vaccination for lifelong protection. Those who are chronically infected need simple medical check-ups to prevent the Hep B virus from developing into liver cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. By taking these steps, we can rid San Francisco of hepatitis B. We can set a model for the nation and be an inspiration to efforts around the globe in eradicating Hep B.
It all starts with you. Get screened, vaccinated and treated if necessary. Use the information in this news section to educate yourself about the things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones. Talk to your family and friends about Hep B and help them to get screened. By working together, we can all be Hep B Heroes and make San Francisco free of hepatitis B!

Guardian on the move: Into the mall, under new management
There were a couple of big changes for the Bay Guardian this week. We and our sister newspapers within San Francisco Media Company — San Francisco Examiner and SF Weekly — moved into the Westfield Mall. Yes, the mall, but in the fifth floor business offices formerly occupied by the San Francisco State University School of Business extension program.
The company, owned by Black Press in Canada and Oahu Publications in Hawaii, also named Glenn Zuehls as the new publisher and Cliff Chandler (who worked for the Examiner for years) as the senior vice president of advertising. Zuehls, who comes from Oahu Publications, replaces Todd Vogt as the head of SFMC. Zuehls and Chandler told the staff of all three papers that their primary goal is to grow the company's revenues, a point that Black Press CEO Rick O'Connor also echoed during the annoucement this morning: "It's all about revenues."
Oahu Publications President and Publisher Dennis Francis will also serve as president of SFMC, which now has the same owners as the Black Press and Oahu Publications after Vogt's ownership interest was bought out by his partners in May. The combined company owns newspapers throughout Canada and Hawaii, as well as around the continental US, including Seattle Weekly and the Akron Beacon Journal.
Editorially, the Bay Guardian remains an independent publication under the leadership of Publisher Marke Bieschke and Editor-in-Chief Steven T. Jones, yours truly.
Whatever, dude. You still only preach to your choir and it gets smaller each day.
Hey Probal, how's it hanging? Having a hundred accounts on sfgate getting too boring for you?
Not that it wasn't that way under B3.
I'm happy that those running this business want to increase revenues, but like most newspapers, there's a wall of separation between advertising and editorial. My motivations and the decisions that I make as editor have nothing to do with revenues. My job is to speak honestly to our readers and to write in their interests, independent of our business interests, except in that I help bring eyeballs to the ads. We're fighting for the soul of San Francisco, and while we need resources to do it, that's someone else's job. In the newsroom, we strive for credibility with readers and speaking with a true voice about the many challenges facing this city.
Oh please....we know that the new guy is watching but claiming that you "strive for credibility with readers and speaking with a true voice about the many challenges facing this city" is hilarious.
In reality you try to grab (and expand) facts from one side of the story to take shots at a small number of targets: Ed Lee, Ron Conway, tech firms, cops that ticket bicyclists.
True voice? I'm sure that it sounds that way to you. To the readers it is anything but.
to see the profits of your parent group to be taxed at a very high rate, to reflect your underlying belief that profits belong to the entire community and not only to those who have the privilege of having excess capital to risk?
Sure, we've long made the case that corporate tax rates are too low and there are too many loopholes, particularly when you look at how corporate profits are way up in recent decades while workers' wages have been stagnant. Throughout my 24-year newspaper career, I've always spoken the truth as I see it, even when it's upset advertisers, investors, or my company's owners. Y'all should try it sometime, it's liberating and something this fearful country needs more of. The day that I need to moderate what I write to appease those on the business side of the newspaper is the day that I move on to another job. Believe it.
their desire for more profits, but you also insist that they be allowed to keep far less of those profits?
Which might sound a lot like you in fact want them to have less profits.
I wholeheartedly support the company's desire for more revenues, partly because it will hopefully give me more newsgathering resources, not simply so the company will have more profits. You trolls and your gotcha games are hilarious, but there's nothing inconsistent between the company pursuing a stronger revenue stream -- which I think we need -- and the progressive view that corporations should pay their fair share of taxes. I want the Guardian to grow, which is exactly what San Francisco needs to counteract the self-serving spin we hear from the Mayor's Office, many media outlets, and our most regular and hateful trolls.
want your owners to have greater profits and to have smaller profits?
Got it.
Steven, I believe you are a misguided narcissist. I admire your willingness to stick your head out for it though. Best of Luck.
Damm I hope that this Zuehls guy is willing to put up with Steven's nonsense.
I can't wait to read about Airbnb's taxes for the 1,367th time.
From its own building on sunny Potrero Hill to a room above the mall's food courts. At least Steven and the crew have a good view of Bloomingdales shoppers and when their cash reserves run low they can always cruise the food court for free samples.
Why, the "Westfield San Francisco Centre" is a virtual festival of high-end chain stores!
I'm sure the SFBG will moderate its hatred of chain stores, once staff has had the opportunity to pick up some trendy items at Abercrombie & Fitch or Aeropostale!
"The combined company owns newspapers throughout Canada and Hawaii, as well as around the continental US, including Seattle Weekly and the Akron Beacon Journal." Hard to denounce big corporations when you ARE a big corporation!
his situation. But to fully understand his dilemma, we should surely take into account one simple factor. What other job could Steven possibly do?
Tim could quit SFBG and start his own non-profit blog because he owns a million dollar home in 94110 and his wife is a lawyer,
But Steven is a renter with no means. So he has to suck the teat of those he hates while rationalizing it to the rest of us. We should forgive.
Mid-market high-rise big-corporate gentrifiers.
SFSU-CSU must be cutting back their expenditures since the big land-grab prior, or maybe they are trying to save up for their next expansionism project which is why they gave up the leases downtown.
They have to fund the repairs on UPS, and Stonestown Apartments, in addition to the new creative arts center, and recreation center they are building post the library project.
gotta save that cash.....
The SFBG banished to a mall, fenced in by the retail outlets it abhors. Once Steven is finished with his one-man protest of Jamba Juice I'll buy him a mango smoothie, because as he said above, increasing revenues is an admirable goal for a capitalist enterprise.
Karma points to the first SFBG reader who buys Steven a gift certificate to the Hugo Boss store!
At last, SFBG staff can explore the wonderful world of high-end chain retail!
SFBG staff will glide across that monument to unfettered capitalism with nary a moment of self-doubt.
Let's see: our revenues, web users, and page count are up; we've added tons more great advertisers and a bunch of new staff; signed a long lease on nice new offices, and still retain complete editorial control to hold big businesses accountable and support local arts and small businesses -- which continues to garner us national attention and awards. It looks like your constant trolling is definitely working. Keep it up!
We'll take low-fat, please. Because of our great FIGURES.
corporation and can piggy-back on their vast resources.
Oh, and you do not have "complete editorial control" because you have never said a bad word about your corporate owners even while criticizing any and every other corporation. You are scared shitless to call them out.
You've had several hours to come up with a rationalization for your sell-out. Is that really the best you can do?
It's all due to our great pageviews, thanks to our favorite trolls. I'll be crying inside we get that new website in a couple months and have to kick y'all off :/
And trolls don't click on no stinking ads.
Who knows, libertarians know no bounds when it comes to serving the market as dutiful and loyal consumers.
SFBG gets zero revenue unless you click on an ad. I never click on ads, here or anywhere.
stop people posting here!
Well, maybe, but only by stopping EVERYONE posting here.
Congratulations, Marke B, you've earned an extra shot of wheatgrass and I'm happy to do my bit. Being part of a successful, profitable organization always makes me feel good too.
There better be some colored people of color among your new hires or I'll put you on a glitter time out that will have your jazz hands withering from disuse.
See you at Chipotle!
IOW, just like WalMart, another great corporate success story.
defend his indefensible comments?
Marke deserves his brown-nose categorization more than ever now. Make that a double wheatgrass shot.
Three comments aren't enough for you? I made my points and I really have better things to do than keep taking troll bait, particularly of the vacuous "neener-neener" variety.
Or are you claiming to know which "Guest" is which?
By syntactic style, perhaps? Divine intuition?
I'd have more respect for you if you were simply honest and said that it is entirely inappropriate for SFBG to be located there but you suck it up because you need this job.
I've said before that I'm not thrilled about being in the mall, but we were forced to move by tech companies driving up rents in our last building. It's also no secret that we Guardianistas loved our independence and would have preferred to remain that way. But as long as our new owners enable us to continue being an important progressive voice in a city that needs it more than ever, then we'll gladly endure any of the less-than-ideal baggage that comes with that. Even after my mentor Tim Redmond got forced out, he expressed appreciation to San Francisco Media Company for keeping the Guardian alive, and I feel the same way. This city needs more media, not less, and I think all three papers under the SFMC banner are doing some of the best work in the city these days.
shrine to free-market capitalism, and surrounded by the very symbols and trappings of rampant consumer, corporate and capitalist excess that you rant and rail against.
Could your readers not be excused for struggling with how you reconcile that on a day-to-day basis?
Why instead not take a risk and strike out just like B3 did all those years ago, and forge your own destiny rather than make this foul-tasting compromise with those whom you claim to disdain and yet suck at the teat of?
You have struck a Faustian bargain over the decaying bodies of those who struggled to fight for social and economic justice and against oppression.
Can you really sleep at night?
"'I've said before that I'm not thrilled about being in the mall, but we were forced to move by tech companies driving up rents in our last building."
Evil tech companies are forcing SFBG staff to eat lunch in the food court!
Seen the sale at J. Crew? It's wonderful!
It's outrageous.
champagne socialists. Just because I hate the rich doesn't mean that I have to eat like I'm poor.
It's so awesome, yet so creepy.
Do you guys realize how totally NASDAQ Press Release you sound? "We've been bought out again and are downsizing again and merging with for a few other downsized companies into cubicles and we could not feel more excited about these opportunities!"
Just four years ago your paper was double the size, you owned your own building, you had an owner who actually lived here, you had *real* autonomy. And now you have Marke's sad ass trying to brag about page view count being up? Good lord, at least teach him how online revenue works before you bring him in to defend Steven's tragic life.
I'll leave it with this: 10 years ago would a guy Scott Weiner be running a virtually uncontested campaign for reelection in D5? Tell me, please, have you gained or lost in this time?
I know you're anxious to condemn us, Scram, but your claims just aren't true. Our revenues and page counts have been declining for more than 10 years -- like most newspapers around the country in this digital age -- but both have begun to turn around in the last year. And as an editor here for the last 12 years, I can tell you that I have as much editorial autonomy today as I ever have. It's also pretty silly for you to blame the sorry state of modern electoral politics on the Bay Guardian.
The booming local economy is bailing you out.
Oh no, lol.
In regards to your paper "turning around" in the last year, do you think that *might* be because you are in the epicenter of the largest tech boom in history? (Yes, even larger than the first dot.com). This city has record employment, record jobs, record real estate prices, record median income. In fact, your very own site has banner ads for rentals at NEMA, "with 1 BDs starting at just under $3000/month"! Given your external circumstances, I'm hardly impressed that the last year has shown you've slowed down the bleeding. Jesus, man... And really, you can say what you want, but your action show that you're being downsized and merged after being bought out for the second time in... two years?
And for this gem, "pretty silly for you to blame the sorry state of modern electoral politics on the Bay Guardian". OMFG my irony-meter just violently exploded... You did not. I just... I can't. So after years and years of your douchey editorials where you insinuate that thanks to the Guardian's in-depth reporting a political tide is turning you're now going to claim the complete opposite. You now have no real sway in the local political scene, and it's silly to assume you ever would? Oh no, dude... See, you *tried* really hard to carry political weight, but you suck so bad at it we've only seen the opposite agenda unfold. You are the self-proclaimed mouthpiece of progressive SF, and now that progressive SF is dying you're going to pretend you never wore that tag?
Oh, bulllllllllllsssshhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt. LOL.
Funny, you've been an editor for 12 years. Your time as editor at the Guardian coincides almost exactly with SF's shift towards the center. Good work.
Maybe San Luis Obispo will take him back...
Don't forget - the influx of rich techies with minimal social skills is also doubtless fueling the enormous number of "gentleman's club" ads on the SFBG webpage.
Win, win!
Add to that the fact that I'm yet to see an advertisement on this page that didn't come from those selfish, socially numb invaders who ride the Google bus.
Just run your cursor over any ad to see what I mean.
still a Lucer
is still a Lucretia. If what Marke wrote about the new website causing the eviction of the most avid readers and commenter(s) of The Guardian is true, I guess Lucretia can continue his/her pathological fixation on The Guardian at the SF Gate comments under the name MissionRosalind.
If even Lilli is allowed to troll here, then everyone is

Tussock moths on Oak Trees. Will the city do anything?
Original post made by Neighbor to Oak Trees on Apr 9, 2007

I read an article the other day in the stanford daily and the head groundskeeper at
the farm didn't seem to be too concerned offer the situation....you can find the article by going to the stanford daily online....the groundskeeper is very knoweldgeable and freindly and would be receptive to your questions....should not be hard to contact....if you want an
experts advice....they give it freely and seem to enjoy doing so....apparently rain could have helped ease the predicament....but we haven't had much of that....

There is also a blight of some sort on our city owned trees. It looks like fall down my street as new young leaves covered in some disease or other cover the ground. This is about the third or fourth spring it has happened, but I don't think the city does anything about it. They do know it is happening because I called last year and asked them what was happening. They didn't seem too bothered.
on Apr 10, 2007 at 10:57 am
Resident -- are you sure it's not just all the live oaks losing their leaves, as they always do at this time of year? Live oaks are evergreen, but like all evergreens they still shed their leaves once a year -- just in spring once their new growth starts, not in the fall.

Live Blog of the NHL Draft Lottery Tonight 8pm ET
If you're unable to catch tonight's NHL Draft Lottery which will be broadcast live on Versus, TSN, and the NHL Network, I will be live-blogging the festivities beginning at 8pm ET tonight.
If you're wondering what the chances are of each team's ping-pong ball being pulled, here they are:
Tampa Bay - 25.0%
Los Angeles - 18.8%
Atlanta - 14.2%
St. Louis - 10.7%
NY Islanders - 8.1%
Columbus - 6.2%
Toronto - 4.7%
Phoenix - 3.6%
Florida - 2.7%
Vancouver - 2.1%
Chicago - 1.5%
Edmonton - 1.1%
Buffalo - 0.8%
Carolina - 0.5%
Arguably the top prospect being sought after is Steven Stamkos, a 5'11, 176lbs center from the Sarnia Sting. Also being mentioned as top picks are two defensemen: Drew Doughty, a 6', 219lbs banger from the Guelph Storm and Alex Pietrangelo, a 6'3, 206lbs
kid from the Niagara Ice Dogs.
This year's NHL Draft will take place the weekend of June 20-21 at ScotiaBank Place in Ottawa.

1) Actually Tampa Bay has a 48.2% chance of picking first. Given that teams 6-14 can't displace them from the top slot.
2) Ironically the 2nd spot has NEVER won the lottery, so our money is on LA 'winning' it this year. While the 3rd place finisher has won it 3 times over the past 12 years.

Id like to make it clear, I employed him in good faith, despite his previous history working for our controversial local newsagent, Mr Murdoch, who supplies fish and chip paper all over the country.
When people told me Mr Coulson was a liar, I made thorough checks, asking him personally if he was a liar and he said, No Im not. This seemed pretty conclusive.
How could I possibly have had reason to doubt him? He didnt even have his fingers crossed, nor did his nose extend, so what else could I do but give him a top job in a very sensitive area. I believe in giving people a second chance and Id now be grateful if you could do the same for me. I can assure you this is the last member of staff who will bring disgrace on the school.

Soberton proves ukulele's appeal is timeless
4:00pm Wednesday 15th January 2014 in Winchester
IT might be 200 hundred years old, but residents in Soberton have proved the ukulele's appeal is timeless.
The county's newest club, The Soberton Strummers, held their inaugural meeting at the White Lion pub on Monday evening.
Organiser, Beverly Lambert, says the ukulele is enjoying a revival and since moving to the area she has been keen to ride that wave of popularity.
"There are clubs in Southampton and Portsmouth, but I wanted something smaller, where a few people could get together and have a few drinks and play," she said.
She added: "We had a brilliant time! 24 people turned up, which was excellent.
"Most of them were beginners, but Dawn Simpson instructed everyone on the basics and, by the end of the evening, we were able to play a good half dozen songs. It was very convivial and everyone said they would come again – so, there's no stopping us now!"
Until Monday's meeting, there group was nameless.
"We voted on our name at the beginning of the session and it was decided that we should be called the Soberton Strummers, which trips off the tongue nicely," Ms Lambert said.
The Strummers meet at the White Lion pub in School Hill for two hours for "fun, strumming and banter" each week. For details, contact Beverly on 01489 878569.

Women's Basketball Wins 12th Straight
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU women's basketball won their 12th consecutive game on Saturday afternoon, knocking off the visiting Mercer Bears 65-58. Adrianne McNally and Kelsey Jacobson each scored 19 points for the Eagles, as they maintain their hold on first place in the Atlantic Sun.
Holding a 6-5 lead four minutes into the game, the Mercer Bears went on an 8-0 run to open up a nine point gap. The Eagles rallied back, and after Shannon Murphy hit a three with 10:02 to play in the half, FGCU pulled even with Bears at 17-17. With 6:31 to go, Adrianne McNally stepped back and connected on a three, putting the Eagles out in front 26-21. Mercer head coach Janell Jones immediately called time out, and the Bears responded. Mercer closed the half on a 12-6 run to take a slim 33-32 lead into halftime.
Chelsea Lyles knocked down a jumper 30 seconds into the second half, giving the Eagles a one-point lead. But Mercer came back quickly with a 7-0 run to take a 40-34 lead. The Bears did well to maintain a small lead for the next 14 minutes; the closest the Eagles could get was two points after a Lyles three pointer made it 44-42 with 12:09 to play, but within five minutes the Bears had extended the lead back out to nine, 52-43. From the point, slowly but surely, the Eagles continued to battle and chip away at the Mercer lead. A pair of free throws from Shannon Murphy made it 52-45. Then a three from Courtney Chihil made it 52-48. Mercer's Natasha Doh drove for a layup to make it 54-48, but Adrianne McNally came right back with a layup of her own, cutting it to 54-50. Kelsey Jacobson hit a three, trimming the lead to just one, 54-53, with 3:41 to play. Then, at the 3:12 mark, one of the strangest plays ever inside Alico Arena occurred. After a Mercer timeout, the Bears' Anqaneice Lewis drove to the basket for a layup, putting Mercer in front 56-53. But immediately after the basket was scored, one of the referee's signaled no basket and assessed a technical foul, pointing towards one of the Mercer players. After some clarification, it turned out that Mercer was actually playing with six players on the court, which was the reason for the technical foul. As a result, the basket by Lewis was taken off the board, and Kelsey Jacobson was able to step to the line for a pair of free throws. Kelsey hit one of two, tying the game at 54-54. A layup from Courtney Chihil put the Eagles in front 56-54, with just under three minutes to play. Then another layup from McNally made it a four point game with exactly two minutes to go. Mercer finally stopped the run with a pair of free throws from Dominique Chism with 1:50 to play. On the Eagles next possession, FGCU ran the shot clock down to one before Jacobson hoisted up a three. It bounced off the rim right to Courtney Chihil, allowing FGCU to run another 30 seconds off the clock. With 46 seconds to go, Jacobson again shot a three and again missed, but this time she was fouled by Cristin Seymour. Kelsey calmly drained all three free throws, putting the Eagles ahead 61-56, all but ending any hopes of a Mercer comeback. FGCU would hang on for the 65-58 victory, assuring the Eagles at least another few days in first place in the Atlantic Sun.
For the Bears (13-12, 9-7), Natasha Doh led all scorers with 23 points on 9-12 shooting along with 5 rebounds. Cristin Seymour added 11 points and 7 boards, and Courtney Ford chipped in 10 points and 9 rebounds.
For the Eagles (21-4, 14-3), Adrianne McNally and Kelsey Jacobson each led the way with 19 points apiece. Shannon Murphy had a game-high 5 assists to go along with 8 points and 3 steals.
The Eagles will hit the road for their next three games, starting with a road trip to Jacksonville next week. FGCU will travel to UNF on Thursday for a game at 5:30 PM, followed by a game at Jacksonville University on Saturday at 2:00 PM. The Eagles have one home game left this season, scheduled for Saturday, February 28th at 7:00 PM against Johnson & Wales.

(WMC-TV) – School board member Reginald Porter sat through the entire two hours of a community budget presentation Monday night.
"We know that the situation is dire," said assistant superintendent Tim Setterlund.
Porter had heard much of the data before. But he thought it was important to hear from parents and employees about possible cuts in programs and personnel as the unified district faces a shortfall of up to 90 million dollars.
"Cuts at the school level are unacceptable," said Germantown parent Ken Hoover.
"We need to do better and we need to put the children first," said Keith Williams with the teacher's union.
"This was the first time it's happened and we're going to make sure everybody has their concerns heard," said Porter.
But not everybody was there to listen, including 10 out of 23 board members. That's nearly half the unified board.
"Some of us had prior engagements," said Porter. "Some are actually sick today."
"You know, I'm certainly aware there are extenuating circumstances in cases," said parent Kerry Johnson.
She and others thought their concerns deserved undivided attention.
"We have elected you to serve us, so it's your duty to be here," Johnson added.
Those who were there pledged to take public comments into account in making tough decisions.
"We had good representation here tonight and are hopefully doing what we need to do to help them change their minds," said school nurse Penny Glidewell.
There's another public hearing on the possible budget cuts Tuesday night at 6:00 at the teaching and learning academy on Union.

Chance sightings and occasional captures have helped explain some aspects of jaguars' lives, but mostly they operate beyond the reach of scientists. Boone's mission clashes his experience in the wilderness of the Rockies with the hazards of Belize's jungles and Brazil's swamps. He needs to learn quickly from local experts and draw deeply on his own expertise to achieve their goal: to reveal startling new insights into the hidden lives of these magnificent creatures.

Few expected Didier Drogba to play on Saturday against Arsenal, but that was because most thought he would be rested. Instead, he is not going to play because he is hurt. Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo said the striker injured his knee in the Blues' Champions League win over Barcelona on Wednesday. Not only is he going to miss the match against the Gunners, but he may miss next week's return leg at the Camp Nou as well.
"Both David Luiz and Drogba will miss the game against Arsenal," Di Matteo said. "Drogba picked up a knee injury against Barcelona and we will need to assess him over the next couple of days. He got pushed and kicked around quite a lot in the game on Wednesday."
It was expected that Luiz would miss the match. He's been battling an injury of his own and nobody expected him to be fit, but the absence of Drogba could really be a blow to the Blues' chances in both the league and Champions League.
Chelsea trail Tottenham and Newcastle for fourth place in the Premier League so, with just five matches left to play, they desperately need to pick up points. Toss in the Champions League, where the Blues really do need to get a goal at the Camp Nou because the odds of shutting out Barcelona again are long, and Drogba will be sorely missed.
To make matters worse for Chelsea and Drogba, the Ivorian has been in sensational form of late. He scored a phenomenal goal to put the Blues in front of Spurs in last week's FA Cup semifinal and was the goal scorer in Chelsea's first leg Champions League win. With him out, Fernando Torres will be asked to step up. For all of the heat he has taken for his rough run with the Blues, if he can score to beat Arsenal and Barcelona, you can bet that much, if not all, will be forgiven.

- LPfinedinerDined on 8/26/2014Great restaurant. Perhaps the best north of Yountvill in the Vally.Special Features:
- Excellent midweek LunchrobinVIPDined on 8/26/2014First time at Archetype. The food is very tasty! Our Server was knowledgeable of all ingredients (fresh, organic, local, fresh caught, etc.), how food was prepared, and delivered topnotch service. The restaurant manager - Kelly was attentive as well and stopped by to ensure we were enjoying our experience. The restaurant is lovely and has a huge table in the middle of the room where I could envision large parties. The patio is lovely and could also be used for special events.Special Features:
- Bad customer serviceOpenTableDinerDined on 8/24/2014I can't really rate the restaurant experience because after making a reservation, we arrived at Archetype to find it closed. Yes, there was an earthquake in Napa Valley the day before. But most other restaurants in St Helena were open, since that part of Napa Valley was not nearly so much affected as Napa itself. I do think the least the restaurant could have done was to put a notice on their answering machine or website, or call or email people who had reservations to notify them. There was no way I could get through to them to find out if they were open. Fortunately we could get in to Tra Vigne up the road, where we had a delicious meal with excellent service -- so I'd like to give Tra Vigne a big thumbs up!
- Beautiful, relaxing placeCharVIPDined on 8/23/2014with excellent, beautifully presented and delicious food. Creative chef. Comfortable chairs and setting. Waiter was a little snotty. I had told him we had limited time -- going to a concert, but he ignored us and was snippy when I said we needed to see the dessert menu and wanted to order it right away. Rest of wait staff excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BlissfullBeachtimeVIPDined on 8/23/2014First time since ownership change and it was just as wonderful. Can't wait to revisitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful DinnermiketraceDined on 8/22/2014Incredible staff and food --- in no particular orderSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stellar restaurant!IWFoodieVIPDined on 8/19/2014Ate here for the first time and everything was great, so good that we made a reservation to return in a week. We have been on a 2 month trip eating up & down West Coast and this was one of the best meals we have had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very pretty but stick to the basicsStaceyVIPDined on 8/19/2014Archetype has one of the prettiest dining rooms in Napa Valley. But on my last visit, the food did not live up to the decor. The peach and burata salad started out strong. It was beautiful and tasty. Padron peppers were fine, though the accompanying sauce did not add much in terms of favor. The fried green tomatoes were very disappointing. They were served with a gooey pepper sauce that made the tomatoes soggy and added far more acid than the dish needed. The open faced BLT was good and had a lovely presentation. The uninspired tuna salad looked like chunks of canned tuna over some greens. Overall, I'd recommend sticking to the simple dishes, like BLTs and seasonal fruit salads. I am told the brunch is very good. Will give it a try.Special Features:
- Wonderful!Foodie614Dined on 8/18/2014This is our first time returning to this restaurant since the name changed to Archetype. Still the same fabulous decor, wonderful food, exceptional service. We will keep coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/18/2014My husband loves wild game and thought the duck breast was wonderful. Heirloom tomato with parmasean cream was amazing as well as the flat iron steak. Service was superb and the ambience was most enjoyable. Anxious to return!!Special Features:

- DesperadoVIPDined on 8/16/2014The food, service and ambience were all good but the wait between the courses was unacceptable. I would have to give it another try before recommending it to a friend.
- Great Place!happycamperDined on 8/14/2014This was my fav restaurant that I visited when I was recently in St. Helena on business. The food was amazing and the staff were great. I am making it a point to go again!Special Features:

- Third visit and never disappoints!cinsolVIPDined on 8/12/2014One of my favorite finds anywhere in wine country. The food is wonderful with unique combinations, excellent presentation and fantastic taste. From the service staff to the owner/GM who somehow always finds the time to check in on you (I really don't know how she pulls it off!) you feel well cared for and welcomed. I can't recommend highly enough and can't wait to visit again soon!Special Features:
- Beautiful with superb foodCharVIPDined on 8/5/2014Everything was wonderful at this absolutely lovely, comfortable place. Appetizers delicious -- entrees wonderful. Desserts varied -- one delicious (peach cobbler type), the other good but not great (ice cream sandwiches). Need more dessert choices.Special Features:
- Skip the rock starsDinerDined on 8/4/2014Of all the restaurants we visited in the area, this was our favorite. The menu met everyone's needs (meat eater, vegetarian, large and small appetites) and the service was attentive, but not formal. We really enjoyed our evening hereSpecial Features:
- New is GoodINFoodDined on 8/3/2014The name may have changed, but the food is fantastic, service outstanding and the dining spaces perfect. During our recent trip we had a wonderful dinner and memorable brunch. On both occasions, several of the items were described by my family as, "the best I've ever tasted," especially the sliders appetizer from the bar menu, the halibut and the flautas at brunch. We loved French Blue, but Archetype has moved things up several notches.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Underwhelmingfood4pearlVIPDined on 7/31/2014Hot summer evening, ready to relax and enjoy a lovely dinner in St. Helena, we chose Archetype for its inviting atmosphere. Host was friendly and seated us 10 minutes early for our 7pm reservation. Sevice went downhill from there. Ten minutes later we received our water, then the waitperson arrived took our drinks (2 gin and tonics) and appetizer (salmon stogies-good!). The appetizer arrived first, but it took another ten minutes for them to "put the finishing touches" on our drinks (what, a lime?). When we asked what the house specialties were, the server said, "Gosh, I don't know, everything's good. Maybe the halibut?" How's the lamb? "I don't know -- I don't eat meat." The food was average and expensive. We won't rush back.Special Features:
- Great Place!IwillbbackDined on 7/30/2014Lovely restaurant! The food was amazing! I ordered the calamari app. - GREAT! The Naan - wonderful and entree was the salmon - spot on! Perfectly wonderful dinner! Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable - perfect! Thank You and I will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful dining experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/28/2014From the moment, we walked into the light, airy, beautifully-appointed dining room, we knew we were in for a delightful dining experience. We were warmly greeted as we were seated, and the service remained impeccable throughout lunch. The menu was very innovative and appealing, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. We definitely would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/28/2014Beautiful restaurant. Friendly and prompt service. The food was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone!Special Features:
- Don't waste your time, bad service!BruzuVIPDined on 7/26/2014We came for a lunch on a Saturday and had to sit outside ( no free tables inside). It was extremely hot. We had to wait approximately 45 min until they had served our table. The food was ok, but not many options to choose. There was a couple trying to pay their bill, they waited so much for somebody to take it, that they went inside to pay it. I guess it was to hot for them to serve the tables outside.

- Archetype A Home RunMobileForagerDined on 7/15/2014Now under new management Archetype has become a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. The food is terrific with the right blend of basic fare and more exotic choices and lots of local, seasonal product. The hand-crafted specialty cocktails are hard to resist. Good wines by the glass and attentive service seal the deal, not to mention the airy, welcoming design of the interior and exterior space. Make a reservation, it crowds up on weekends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative FantasticLindaDined on 7/12/2014Incredible food! I hadn't been to Archetype (or French Blue) butI chose the restaurant to share a meal with cousins visiting from the east coast. We visited on a Saturday and I was disappointed to find that only a brunch menu was offered. I got over that fast when I saw what was on the menu: from egg dishes or pancakes to peanut crusted prawns or trout. I had trout like I've never had it before, paired with a fabulous crisp white wine and great company. A very memorable day and meal was had by all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So much better!dine2wineDined on 7/10/2014The new Archetype is awesome! Love the menu, the food is much improved over the previous French Blue, while keeping the brilliant layout and ambiance of the building's design. Their small plates are simple yet delicious (Tater tots are amazing!).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing meal!KkwoodDined on 7/7/2014One if the best meals I have ever had and I have been to great and notable restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/7/2014Lunch at Archetype was truly spectacular. Wonderful food, service, ambiance. I'd recommend it to anyone. (There was considerable traffic noise in the outer area, but if that had bothered us, we could have chosen the interior.) We had dinner the previous evening at Bottega. There is no comparison - these two places are in entirely different leagues in every respect.Special Features:

- Nice airy restaurantjazzmanDined on 7/5/2014The two of us had mixed feelings about this restaurant, we like the atmosphere a lot, service was good but not outstanding. We both ordered the soup of the day which was a cold cucumber soup. It was just so so. The entries, were much better, we both had fish, halibut and salmon, each with an interesting combination of sides.Special Features:
- Excellent experiencenyrothDined on 7/4/2014Wonderful meal & ambiance. Terrific staff, friendly with a great knowledge of the ingredients. Soup, salad, grilled fish entrees were impecible. Salmon & halibut dishes are not to be missed. The desserts need a little tweaking. The lemon meringue & strawberry turnover were just OK. The waitress told us later that their ice creams are their forte. Will be returning for another delicious meal in 2 weeks!Special Features:
- STUNNINGPepper1VIPDined on 7/4/2014One of the best meals I have ever had. From the hostess who was accommodating to my table request, to the quick food service, to the perfect sliders, wine selections.... amazing.

FAQ's For Parents of Minor Students
Q : Why should my child choose MSCC?
A: Mid-South Community College is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which means our transfer courses are accepted by many colleges and universities across the country. Our technical programs are market-driven and competency-based, with most offering students the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications or licensures. Our classes are small, offering individualized attention by appropriately credentialed faculty. Free tutoring and mentoring are available in our Learning Success Center. MSCC also offers a broad range of student activities, designed to foster leadership, wellness, citizenship, career readiness, and social development.
Q: Does MSCC offer a safe environment?
A: Yes. Security officers are on-duty whenever students are present, and the buildings and parking lots are monitored by security cameras. Red emergency phones are located in each building for immediate connection to MSCC Security in case of an accident or other emergency. The college also support an electronic emergency alert system that emails and/or texts all students in case of a hazardous or emergency situation.
Q: What is the difference between a certificate and a degree?
A: A certificate is a short-term technical program (one semester to one year) designed primarily to prepare students for employment. However, most of MSCC's certificates apply directly toward associate degrees. An associate's degree is a two-year program that can either prepare students for transfer to a four-year institution (bachelor's degrees) or for employment or, in some case, both. If students require developmental coursework or attend part-time, award completion will take longer than the normal time
Q. Does my child have to take an entrance exam?
A. MSCC requires ACT, SAT, ASSET or COMPASS test scores for all new students. Placement tests do not determine admissions eligibility; they measure reading, language, and math literacy to help ensure students enroll in classes that promote their academic success. For students without ACT or SAT scores, or who may want to try to improve those scores, MSCC offers the COMPASS test on campus.
Q: What are developmental courses and who has to take them?
A: Developmental courses provide an opportunity for students to strengthen their skills in math, English, and reading when their placement scores indicate such a need. College-level placement scores in reading and English or completion of associated developmental course are required prior to enrollment in most college-level courses. Some courses also require specific math placement scores or completion of designated developmental math classes.
Q. How will my child know what program or courses to take?
A. All new students meet with a qualified academic advisor to assist them in making the right choices. New students are also encouraged to take College Survival Skills, a one credit course that provides key information needed to develop an academic plan and for succeeding in college.
Q: Can my child easily reach a faculty member outside of class?
A: Yes. MSCC's full-time faculty members have offices in the classroom buildings, and they are available at least 10 hours a week for student interaction. They also provide their office phone numbers and email addresses on their course syllabi.
Q. Can I discuss my child's performance, grades, or attendance with his/her instructors?
A. The Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA) prevents faculty or other college personnel from discussing academic records with a 3rd party, even a family member, unless the student signs a "Release of Information" form and submits it to the Registrar's Office.
Q: Do you have any tutoring programs in case my child has problems with a course?
A: Yes. Mid-South Community College provides academic coaching to any student who asks for help, and the service is FREE!
Q: My insurance company says my son/daughter must be a full-time student for me to maintain coverage. What constitutes full time?
A: A student must take at least 12 hours to be considered full time. Most classes meet for three hours a week, but some meet for one, two, four, or five hours. Any combination that totals 12 or more semester hours is considered full time.

The New York Red Bulls' undefeated home record this season looked like it was going to come to an end on Sunday night to the Portland Timbers of all teams. A pair of early goals put the Timbers, last in the Western Conference, up 2-0, but the Red Bulls stormed back and preserved their home mark with three goals to win 3-2.
It took just eight minutes for Portland to go in front and it was Bright Dike who did the scoring, opening his MLS account. But while Dike was the goalscorer, Sal Zizzo did much of the work, taking a good pass from Kosuke Kimura and putting the defense on its heels before crossing for Dike to finish rather easily.
In the 32nd minute, Darlington Nagbe doubled the Portland lead. Franck Songo'o started the play with some nifty work down the right before cutting in and drawing in the defense. He fed Zizzo, who once again did the assisting with a good ball into Nagbe to finish and the Timbers were sitting pretty.
At least it looked like the Timbers were sitting pretty, but things fell apart in the 42nd minute. Kenny Cooper got on the end of a cross from Jan Gunnar Solli and headed home to cut Portland's lead in half.
Three minutes later, the referee flat out handed the Red Bulls a goal with some of the most cowardice and awful refereeing possible. Dax McCarty let a shot rip from 20 yards that struck a Portland defender either in the chest or his arm, on his chest. The referee blew his whistle and started running to the penalty spot and the Timbers naturally stopped. Tim Cahill then knocked the ball in the net while the Red Bulls pointed for a penalty. The referee, at this point apparently aware that he had blown his whistle for a hand ball in the box that shouldn't have been called, then decided to pretend like he never blew his whistle and gave New York the goal for Cahill's shot that came after his whistle.
From two down to level at halftime, New York was given life. Just because they were back in it didn't mean that they started playing well, though. They were poor at the back and only the heroic of Bill Gaudette kept the Timbers from going back in front.
New York also got a second gift from the referee when he failed to spot a reckless elbow by Cahill, who caught Kimura. The Red Bulls' forward vicious elbow knocked Kimura to the ground and forced him to be stretchered off, but while the referee missed it, Cahill should expect the disciplinary committee to weigh in and suspend him.
The referee had nothing to do about New York's last goal, though. Once again it was Solli who provided the service, hitting a great ball in from the right that found Heath Pearce to nod home for the winner and preserve the Red Bulls' home mark.
