Recruiting: The Foundation on which to Build a Program
This week, we'll be shifting gears a bit in terms of what we talk about. We've gone over the philosophical approach of our program and learned what Coach Chris Casey is looking for in his players. In this issue, we're focusing on recruiting -- what goes into it, where we're looking for players, and who is responsible for heading up these efforts.
As you might guess, the majority of our prospective players come from the Northwest. In fact, of the 73 student-athletes we have out so far, 52 are from Oregon. We have another 12 from Washington and seven from California. The majority of our guys are from up and down the I-5 corridor, but there are exceptions. For instance, we have one player from Alaska and another from Georgia.
The coach responsible for coordinating our recruiting efforts is John Bates. John is also our defensive coordinator, but these days he's often on the road watching Friday night high school games. He and the rest of the staff will be even more busy doing so in the next few weeks as the playoffs begin.
We have been bringing prospective student athletes on campus all summer and fall. Once the high school season is over, John and the rest of the staff will be out to visit with the top Oregon and Washington players, while visiting and gathering information from their high school coaches.
Basically, John's job is to do all the administrative duties in regards to football recruiting and also recruit a geographical area. He collects prospective recruits' names from high school coaches, recruiting services, George Fox alumni, faculty and staff, and directs these students to the proper coach. He also helps gather and distribute information to and from admissions, sets up all campus visits for each football recruit, and works closely with our marketing and communications department to come up with new and innovative ways to get football information out to prospective recruits.
What is John looking for? Outstanding football players who are going to make an impact in our program and will want to be at George Fox for four years. "Developing and cultivating relationships with the young men we recruit is paramount for our success as a football program both on and off the field," he says. "We want our incoming players to understand that it will be a tremendous experience, but it will take a huge commitment to be a really good football player in the Northwest Conference, to excel in the classroom, and to be involved in the Fox community."
Picture: Coach John Bates at a practice this fall.
Get to Know the Coach: John Bates
We're starting a new feature this week: "Get to Know the Coach." Enjoy.
John Bates was the second full-time hire for the program (after coach Casey). He was Chris' defensive coordinator at Aloha since 2011, and before that he was the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Nebraska Wesleyan University from 2004 to 2010. What you may not know is that, during his tenure, NWU was consistently ranked in the top 10 nationally in multiple defensive statistical categories, peaking at No. 2 in scoring defense in 2008 (11.2 points per game).
Following is John's take on defense ...
"We are looking for young men who will play in a team concept, fly to the football, and be very physical. We feel the single most important aspect to successful defensive football is tackling. We will be an excellent tackling football team and fundamentally sound with scheme and technique. Our fans will be very proud of the way our defense will play. We'll play with high passion and desire and concentrate on putting our guys in position to take away what the opponent does best."
John also has some international coaching experience. In the early 2000s, he coached at Western Oregon University in the fall and in Austria with the Chrysler Vienna Vikings in the spring. He was the defensive line coach at WOU and served as defensive coordinator in Vienna.
John graduated from Whitworth University in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in physical education. He was an assistant on the 2001 Whitworth team that won the Northwest Conference and made the NCAA Division III playoffs -- the Pirates' first postseason appearance in 25 years. He completed a master of education degree in secondary education from Whitworth in 2006.
John is married to Dana, a health and human performance professor at George Fox who serves as the director of the athletic training program. They live in Carlton, Ore., and have two children: Ryan (8) and Alexandra (4).
Construction Update
Here is the latest report regarding construction of Stoffer Family Stadium and the Duke Athletic Center: Crews placed the press boxes today, so the stadium can now be completed. Roofing continues on the upper roof, and we are now dry on both roofs on the Duke Athletic Center. We still have some walk mats to install.
The interior mechanical, electrical and plumbing work continues. We will start rocking walls in early November and start pouring sidewalks at the site at the end of next month. Window frames will start going in tomorrow and will be complete by Friday, with glass about a week behind that.
The good news is, we've successfully raised about 80 percent of what we need to complete the project. We still have some work to do, though, so please consider donating to Stoffer Family Stadium, even if it's a small amount. Thanks for your part in making the return of football to George Fox possible!

Social Work
Previous Education:
Associate's Degree; Bachelor of Social Work
Detroit, Michigan, United States
Current Position and Employer:
Part-time Graduate Student; Ambassador of Fun, Great Wolf Lodge
Why did you choose to attend Grand Valley?
I chose to attend Grand Valley because educationally it was the next step for me. Grand Valley is the only program that offers the master's degree in social work in the Traverse City area. Attending the program in this area allows me to stay close to my family.
What do you like best about Grand Valley?
One of the things that I like best about Grand Valley is the structure of the social work program in Traverse City. It's a cohort program, which means that a group of students begins the program together and ends the program together. I like the community atmosphere that the program offers.
Have you been able to incorporate your graduate studies into your job? How?
Yes, I have been able to incorporate my graduate studies into my job. Part of social work is about engaging clients and providing them with the information needed to make decisions. My job at the lodge is meeting with people and informing them about activities that the lodge offers for families and children. A lot of interview skills are used when I talk about activities and items that would interest children and families.
How will Grand Valley help you meet your future goals?
My main goal is to become an equine assisted therapist. In equine assisted therapy horses are used as a tool to help clients work through a variety of issues. In order to do that, I need to obtain my M.S.W. before I can become certified to work with horses and clients. GVSU will assist me in obtaining my goals by providing me with the skills and abilities needed to address clients' problems from a clinical aspect.
How has Grand Valley's faculty made a difference in your graduate experience?
Grand Valley's faculty has made a difference in my graduate experience by always being available. Whether it's through email, extended office hours, or Chalk & Wire online support. I know that if I have a question or concern, it will be addressed by someone on staff at GVSU.
What advice would you give to prospective graduate students?
Look into Grand Valley's programs. They offer a variety of programs and time slots that fit various student lifestyles. They really address the needs of students who have families and are already working within the community.

Pregnant on a budget? What you really need for your baby
December 18, 2010 | Posted By: Tania Tod
If you have been hit by baby fever, noticed the proverbial ticking of your biological clock, are trying to conceive, or already pregnant, you have doubtlessly heard about all the money that you are going to spend on your future baby too. It seems there are articles about the huge cost of babies in magazines and on the internet all the time. Some mention thousands of dollars have to be spent in your baby's first year at all. So, what if you are pregnant on a budget? Is all this stuff really essential?
I have looked at a few of the lists of must-have baby items and am surprised at what I see every time I read one of them. Exersausers? Vibrating swings? Really? Those are essential? Frankly, I did not even know what those things were until I looked it up, and I have two kids. Don't start wondering if you need to ditch the ovulation calendar and the ovulation predictor kits and go back on birth control instead!
If you are on a budget or simply a frugal person, don't panic when you come across lists like these. Babies are cheap. They don't need a lot at all. This is a list of baby items that are truly essential.
1) Clothes. What you need is going to depend on the season when your baby is born, of course. Some babies can wear the same outfit all day long, while others vomit a lot and need several changes of clothes. If you have around 14 onesies, seven pairs of trousers, and about seven pairs of socks, you have the basics covered. Some mothers like having jumpsuits, while others prefer t-shirts over onesies. A few cardigans or sweaters are handy even in the summer, but are essential for winter. You will also need a winter coat for cold weather.
2) Diapers. Whether you are using disposable diapers or cloth, diapers are a major investment, and are essential for most parents. Using modern cloth diapers, which are great, can be up to four times cheaper than disposable diapers, therefore making them a great option for those on a budget.
3) A car seat. If you own a car or ever plan on riding in someone elses, a good car seat is essential. This is the one area in which you should not be worried about saving money, because a good car seat means keeping your baby safe.
4) A stroller or a baby carrier. These can be extremely expensive or very cheap. Shopping around can save you a great deal of money.
5) A crib if you are not planning on co-sleeping.
6) Your breasts, to feed your baby. Breast milk is not only the best nutrition for your baby, it is also completely free, and very convenient.

What other baby supplies have you found to be absolutely essential?

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technology used to treat sperm-related infertility. In the laboratory, a single sperm is injected into an egg; after 2 to 5 days, one or several of the fertilized embryos are transferred to the woman's uterus or fallopian tube.
Any embryos that implant in the uterus may result in pregnancy and birth of one or more infants.

Standard Time Returns...Will You Sleep an Extra Hour?
Monday, October 27, 2008
NSF Offers Tips to Successfully "Fall Back"
WASHINGTON, DC, October 31, 2008 -- This weekend, millions of Americans will roll their clocks back one hour for the return to Standard Time. But as clocks move back and we wake on Sunday morning (November 2), after "gaining" an extra hour of the day, will Americans use that extra hour to catch up on their sleep? Unfortunately, probably not, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
NSF's 2008 Sleep in America poll found that nearly one-third of Americans (28%) said they are so sleepy during the day that it interferes with their daily activities at least a few days a month. One in six (13%) people polled reported that this sleepiness impacts them a few days a week or more. Additionally, 63 percent stated they are very likely to just accept their sleepiness and keep going, instead of making their sleep a priority.
"Many people have difficulties adjusting to the time change," said David Cloud, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation. "But in the fall, early light exposure may cause people to wake earlier than planned. As a result, many Americans may experience increased daytime sleepiness as they adjust to the new schedule. This is an important time to remember to plan ahead to make healthy sleep a priority and reduce incidents of daytime drowsiness," he said.
NSF recommends these tips to help ease the adjustment to standard time:

The HSP Health Guest Author Program For Highly Sensitive People
HSP Health is a comprehensive website covering the highly sensitive trait as well as the genetic and stress disorders that can affect highly sensitive people.
It offers information to help HSPs with their emotional heath and social challenges, so that they can become stronger and blossom as individuals. HSP Health now has a guest author program to help HSPs with their healing and development.
Find out details here.
Who Are Highly Sensitive People?
One in five persons is a highly sensitive person (HSP) according to Elaine Aron, Ph.D., the foremost authority on the highly sensitive person.
There is a misperception that the
characteristic of being highly sensitive means simply high
emotionality. Although many highly sensitive people have strong emotions, the HSP trait comes from a having a different functioning nervous system. The HSP nervous system acts like a sponge absorbing all forms of stimulus in the environment creating sensory processing challenges as well as physical, mental and emotional overwhelm.
The HSPs busy nervous system gives them a higher susceptibility to stress and stress-related illnesses and therefore a greater need for strong health practices.
Many highly sensitive people are plagued with health issues caused by stress and the genetic disorders they can have. Health challenges, then, can cripple an HSPs ability to function. Highly sensitive people who make health an important priority have the ability to come into their own and flower.
HSPs are natural visionaries, peacemakers, creatives and humanitarians.
Alternative Health For Highly Sensitive People
HSP Health focuses on alternative health solutions for the common problems of highly sensitive people.
Because the mind body connection is so strong in the highly sensitive person, holistic health remedies are a great way for HSPs to manage their complicated health needs. Since problems in any area of life can have adverse health consequences for HSPs, HSP Health provides holistic healing help in the following areas of life:
- stress
- genetic, stress and anxiety disorders
- emotional health including the challenges of being empathetic
- social health and the unique social problems that come with being different
- physical health and lifestyle suggestions through alternative health systems like Ayurveda and energy medicine as well as herbal remedies.
For more information about the highly sensitive trait, start here.

Select Route:
Climb a broken crack to the first bolt using cams or stoppers for protection. Follow 5 bolts up the face to a chimney up to the tree. Use cams and stoppers to set up a top rope anchor to the left of the tree and rappel off the tree when done.
Hammerhead is located about 30 feet to the right of Three Amigos on the south face in the Glitter Box area of Lower Devils Canyon. From the start of Three Amigos, you can see the top of Hammerhead which ends at a tree growing out of a chimney above and to the right of the start of Three Amigos. To get to the start, go down to the bottom of the Glitter Box by rappelling down using the two rap chains east of Three Amigos or hike down and around to the bottom of the Glitter Box.
5 bolts plus cams and stoppers for protection to the first bolt. Medium cams and/or stoppers are needed to set up an anchor at the top of the route. Webbing or slings are needed to rappel off the tree.

We had some perfect weather Sunday to head outside for a picnic,or better yet, a potluck in the park.
The group "A Side of Kindness" hosted one of the biggest potlucks the QCA has ever seen in Lafayette Park in Davenport Sunday.
Local residents were asked to bring as many dishes as possible to share with homeless or under-privileged families in the area.
They were attempting to set a record for the world's largest pot luck.
Casper, Wyoming holds that record - at 863 dishes.
This weekend's event came close, with nearly 750 dishes brought to the park.
But, organizers say the attempt was still a win, because they were giving back to the community through food.

This month I got Vicious.
What's new? You might ask. But I mean I really got Vicious. I'd obviously heard that ITV were planning a 'gay sitcom' about two older gay guys. But then I had the privilege to not only attend a recording of the show, but to have a snoop around the set and then interview the writer and producer Gary Janetti and stars Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi and the fabulous Frances de la Tour. No really, so many men I spoke to about this gasped when her name was mentioned. Reader, I would have married her.
Aside from all of this being rather wonderful, and my being very lucky to have the opportunity, Vicious is actually quite, quite brilliant. I genuinely laughed until I ached. And while that's a great thing – after all, that's what you want from a sitcom – it's also rather wonderful to see mature gay men depicted so magnificently on prime time television. So it's not just a 'gay sitcom', it's far cleverer than that – an indication of how far we've come (and how quite a lot of us will turn out to become).
There's two sides to every story, of course, so we took the opportunity that Vicious presented to look at what real life is like for mature gay men living in 2013 – which will almost certainly make you stop and think. I know that I'm not ready for what life in retirement could bring – though I'd certainly like to hope I'll be able to spend it in a lived-in flat, with my closest friend, and a 20-year-old dog asleep in a basket.
And if my equivalent of Frances de la Tour fancies popping round and being wonderfully inappropriate with my young neighbour, even better.
Be safe and I'll see you in 30 days. And if you can't be safe, be Vicious.

Jingle Spells Completely SOLD OUTCharity
WELL. That went quickly.
Jingle Spells, the wizard rock Christmas album that was Leaky's sixth Get a Clue fundraiser and an outstanding compilation of Harry-themed holiday music, is now COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.
What does this mean? It means that in the past six weeks you have all raised...more than $30,000 for Book Aid International. It means you will have had a hand in buying something like 20,000 books, or building libraries in the areas of the world that need them most. We'll have more details on that soon.
This is the most money ever raised through a Leaky Cauldron charity drive, INCLUDING our 2002 bid to win the 93-word card that J.K. Rowling was auctioning at Sotheby's. That $30,000 is AFTER cost. This is truly incredible. It doubles the total we've raised over ALL FIVE PREVIOUS YEARS.
If you ordered but haven't gotten your copy yet, please be patient. There was one main ship date for the first set of orders (on or about-at Nov. 11 for U.S. orders and Nov. 8 for international orders), and all other orders are being sent out in another shift in midDecember. Every effort will be made to get your item to you by Christmas. NO ONE in Canada has yet been sent their copy, because of a customs restriction that requires some extra work in the packaging; those will go out soon. Those who ordered through the mail, yours have been sent out this week, and for your banking purposes, your checks are soon to be deposited. Please everyone remember this is a purely human effort, involving one person's apartment being completely dominated by packages, boxes, stamps, labels and CDs, and we're doing our absolute best.
If you ordered via PayPal and suddenly realized you used the wrong shipping address, send an email with the correction to firstname.lastname@example.com, but do it SOON.
You can no longer order a physical copy of this album online, but we will have more announcements about it in the future. Stay tuned!
If you are still looking for a chance to give back in a Potter way this holiday season, check out our just-announced, smaller scale, Children's Voice Charity Drive, where you can contribute to JKR's Children's Voice Charity fund without having to have enough to buy Beedle of the Bard, and still have a chance to attain a special catalog featuring the item.
Every year, without fail, you guys help us show the world that Harry Potter fans know how to show moral fiber when it's important. Thank you all so much, again. And again, special thanks to the wizard rock bands who donated their time, effort and talent; to Matt Maggiacomo and Padfoot4Eva and Jo M and Kevin K, who helped pack and ship CDs (and to the others who will be helping us pack and ship the rest), and to everyone who bought an album or helped spread the word for this very good cause. You guys have done it again.
Not that we're surprised.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- —
"You can do anything with the whole chicken," says Mary Poehnelt, a butcher and now a cook at Ming Tsai's restaurant Blue Ginger in Wellesley.
There are four main parts to the chicken, she says: breasts, wings, legs, as well as bones and gizzards.
Chicken is very versatile, and each part can be prepared in its own unique way.
Breasts can be prepared as bone-in split or without bones and skins. The bone provides more flavor while cooking the meat, therefore when cooking without the bone, it is a good idea to marinate the chicken for 1 to 2 hours prior to cooking.
Chicken tenderloins are a great part of the breast; they are perfect for chicken fingers.
Wings are a favorite appetizer that can be easily prepared at home. "If you don't frequently buy whole chickens, you can save up your chicken wings in the freezer. They last for about three months," Poehnelt says.
Legs are possibly the best part of a chicken, according to Mary. The whole leg is filled with a lot of flavor, especially in the area referred to as "the oyster." You can stuff butter and rosemary between the skin and meat of the leg, then bake it in the oven, or separate the thigh from the drumstick for a completely different dish. The thigh is perfect for stir-fry, while the drumstick lends itself well for chicken lollipops.
Bones and gizzards are ideal for chicken stock or soup. Just braise these parts slightly, add some root vegetables, a little salt and pepper, add water, then simmer for about two hours and you have home-made delicious chicken soup.
Whatever you decide to do with a whole chicken, it is sure to be delicious and much more cost-effective than purchasing the parts already butchered.

No, thanks.
We competitive sentence diagrammers would classify that sentence as a "category ludicrous". Granted, it could be diagrammed; but such a bath in Latinate terms makes it not worth it.

I cannot install simulationPSY.sis to RDA service on nokia 6220 .It gives certificate error.

I cannot install simulationPSY.sis to RDA service on nokia 6220 .It gives certificate error.
What goes wrong?
I can install simulationpsy on devices lower than symbian 9.3 but not on the others?
Where have you taken the Simulation PSY from? There is at least one SDK version in which the PSY is not properly signed, I think it was the S60 3.2 SDK. There is a known issue about this and the tool is available at [url]http://tinyurl.com/SimulationPSY[/url]
I have taken the tool from nokia download.
best regards
I've got the same problem. If I install the tool located at [url]http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/edf2e7be-223d-4b50-af98-87e0cbe5d186/S60_3rd_Edition_Positioning_Simulation_Tool.html[/url] on an FP2 phone I get a certificate error.
Yes, it seems that we still have a problem with that tool. The web page will be updated soon, until then you can use the attached file:
I tried your Simulation_PSY.zip file but it didn't work also.
I got a "Unable to install" message.
Actually, everything was working fine until I updated my device's (Nokia 6210 Navigator) firmware from 4.09 to 4.13 version.
Now, I'm getting "Certificate error" in almost all attempts to install my .sis files again.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Is this something to do with the PSY sis only or any other sis file you might try?
I tried some others .sis files.
Some of them worked well, but others were impossivel to install due to 'Certification Error'.
Is this related to the firmware update?
I don't know what to do.
I would advice you to reset the device (*#7370#) then make sure to boot with a SIM inside and to input correct location (timezone) and date/time data. Make sure to backup any relevant data you might have on that phone.
your file was successfully installed.
Thanks a lot.
Could you attach the simpsyconfigurator as well?
thanks a lot
This is a all-in-one package.
sorry, you are right.
I just needed to install the SimulationPSY in the memory card in order to easily replace the .nmea dump files.

City College's new divide
Despite recent voter approval of Proposition A, the parcel tax expected to bring $14 million annually to City College of San Francisco, faculty there are enduring pay cuts and layoffs, a reality that has rankled union leaders and others who have rallied to save the school.
In the face of the school's accreditation crisis, which if not addressed by March could lead to its closure, the college was a united front to keep the school open and pass Prop. A, which was approved by over 70 percent of San Francisco voters on the same night as President Obama's reelection.
But a combination of timing (the money won't roll in until later in 2013), the depth of the district's fiscal hole, and declining student enrollment have left CCSF with essentially status quo funding. District officials appear to be leaning toward using most of the surplus it does get to beef up its scant reserve funds, which was one of the things that triggered the accreditation crisis.
After the good news of Prop. A's passage, CCSF discovered it wasn't on track to meet its required enrollment numbers -- and the number of students enrolled dictates state funding.
"[The administration] was focused on these accreditation reports. It's a big job. It was very disruptive to change chancellors kind of midstream," said John Rizzo, the college's board president. "We had to switch administrations, and that's been very difficult."
City College has been through three different chancellors in the past year: longtime Chancellor Don Q. Griffin left in April due to illness, Pamila Fisher was interim chancellor until October, and now Thelma Scott-Skillman is the current chancellor.
Whatever the reason, City College has 3,000 fewer students enrolled than it expected to have for the Spring, potentially putting it $6.5 million in the hole this coming year. It has until the end of summer to boost those numbers. Now, despite all the cards coming up aces for them in the polls, the college still needs to save millions of dollars somewhere else in the budget.
It has started by slashing faculty and administration wages 8.8 percent, and not renewing contracts for more than 30 part time teachers, 18 part time counselors, and 30 clerical staff. Notably, Scott-Skillman -- whose office negotiated the plan, which the board discussed on Dec. 13 -- will also take a paycut.
Alisa Messer, president of the faculty union at City College, thinks cutting teachers, and therefore classes, flies in the face of what the voters bargained for with Prop. A. "There's no discussion here about accountability to San Francisco voters," Messer told us. And with the loss of competitive wages, the faculty has already started to come apart at the seams.
"We have unfortunately heard from quite a few faculty that they will be looking for jobs out of state," Messer said. "Many said they'll have to change their living situation or move out of San Francisco."
She said that would hurt CCSF: "These things have to do with the long term viability of the college."
Steve Ngo, a trustee on the college's board, thinks that the Prop. A money should be used to shore up the school's reserve fund, as dictated by the accreditation team that threatens the school with closure. Unfortunately, this means losing teachers now rather than later.
"If you want to frame it in terms of labor, there's nothing worse to do than spending money now [to retain teachers] and laying off teachers in the future," Ngo said. "Those are younger teachers. The people there now will be retired."
Due to increased focus on diversity in hiring, CCSF's more diverse and younger teachers tend to be the newer ones, and part time faculty, Ngo said. Those are the teachers most at risk -- and the ones that students will end up losing.
Amidst the arguments about proper use of funding, teachers at the school are seeing their wages cut. Some, like Danny Halford, are losing their jobs.
Halford taught English as a Second Language at City College for seven years. A friendly and outgoing middle-aged guy, Halford is a veritable man about town, and can be seen at City College fundraisers, and was among the college's most ardent Prop. A supporters, waving picket signs and attending rallies.
He was also one of the part time faculty members to lose his job in the Spring.
"Greg Keech, our super-wonderful ESL Dept. chair, wrote me a very nice letter to inform me that due to budget cuts there will be no job for me next semester," Halford said. He had also recently lost his job as an organist at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church, which he'd had for 10 years, when a new pastor had "a new music concept that I don't fit," he said.
One of his favorite memories from City College was of a student named Elmer, from Guatemala. "He came into my Literacy class in May 2006, near the end of my first semester, with almost no English. He made progress quickly."
"When he got his G.E.D. diploma, I was so proud of him, I could have bust," Halford said. "I've watched him grow, off and on, for six years now. He has no family here, and I think of him as my nephew."
He may even be re-hired next fall, but until then he waits in limbo. He'll try to substitute teach at the college for now, he said, but ruled out looking at other schools for work. As he said, "There are no jobs at other colleges because all colleges are in the same boat."
Ngo said that the choice is basically between drastic change, or the closure of the school.
"It's mathematically impossible to keep that payrate now," Ngo said. "My hope is to provide the best wages and benefits in the long run, but we can't offer it if it's a facade. We can't maintain payrates as they are now because we have too many faculty...There's no agreement if there's no college."
City College's faculty's union, American Federation of Teachers 2121, filed an unfair labor practice charge Dec. 21 with the Public Employee Relations Board, a state entity that has the power to enforce labor law in California. The charge alleges that the college's paycuts are unlawful.
A recent email to their union members outlines the AFT 2121's grievances with the college: "At Monday's bargaining session, the District finally outlined its claim that it will cut wages to recover last year's ongoing state cuts of $13 million—even though the parties bargained in good faith, reaching agreement on June 20, 2012 to address these losses, including the 2.85% wage reduction this year and millions of dollars in savings through attrition and program cuts. The District is essentially overriding the previous agreement by now moving to cut wages to recover $13 million on top of the already agreed to concessions."
College spokesperson Larry Kamer said he hadn't seen the charges yet, as the college is on vacation, but that "we respectfully disagree with AFT 2121's characterization of the situation."
"City College is facing an immediate budget shortfall due to a second straight year of missed enrollment targets," he said. "In the past, City College might have papered over such a budget gap with money it didn't have, but those days are over. The college remains in a perilous situation with regard to accreditation and has no choice but to respond to the crisis with swift action and a request for shared sacrifice."
And there's the rub. In the midst of reforming the school to meet the requirements of the accreditation team by March or face closure, the college failed to keep its eye on their enrollment.
"The unions were trying to help, calling prospective students and trying a pitch," Rizzo said. "'Hey enroll!' That kind of thing. They're helping. A lot of people are trying to chip in to help this."
"Ultimately it's the people in the administration who are responsible for the enrollment," he said.
With City College's newest Chancellor Scott-Skillman on track to stay for at least a year, some stability may return to college's administration. But City College's dilemma, to potentially strain its budget to the breaking point or to lose valued and experienced teachers, has no easy answers -- and either way the losers may end up being the students.
To register for classes at City College, visit ccsf.edu. Enrollment for Spring is open.
CCSF by the numbers:
Prop A - $14 million a year for 8 years starting in 2013
3,000 - the number of students city college needs to enroll in order to meet its budget expectations, or lose money
$6.5 million - the amount CCSF loses if it doesn't enroll 3,000 students
8.8 percent, the amount faculty wages are being cut
160 - faculty lost in the past year due to attrition - retirement, quitting
30 - part time faculty not rehired next semester, including ESL teacher Danny Halford
30 - clerical staff not rehired for next semester
18 - part time counselors not rehired next semester
3 - number of chancellors running City College over the past year
Sounds like trolling to me.
Ad hominem troll.
Seriously, the vomit of the junkies, shits of the winos and conversations of the schizophrenic seers don't waft onto my property and deprive me of enjoying it like the proselytizing Christians do or like the libertarians do in this forum.
somewhere might hold a different political ideology than yourself than you are about the real and genuine suffering on your doorstep which you seermingly can ignore at will.
Ad hominem troll. The issue is your incessant proselytizing of your ideology irrespective of the sentiments of others. Like the urban nudists did not know when enough was enough, you all simply disregard the sentiments of anyone around you and get off on your ability to force your extremist views on others.
Pot, meet kettle.
It is not proselytizing when written to folks who more or less agree with me on political ends. That is discourse that is inhibited by the harassment from the right wing that hijacks that venue for discourse with its tired discredited libertarian right wing ideology. There are plenty of places to discuss your religious dogma per scripture where you are not harassing others. Kindly direct your attentions there.
mutual masturbation forum?
And not vigorous and balanced and diverse debate?
Got it.
Where do I go to get away from the conservative libertarian right wing wack jobs who insist on proselytizing their economic sharia everywhere all the time like the wack job christians? Is all the world their 16th and Mission?
And, no, our interior courtyard is an oasis of green calm and peace amidst the chaos of the North Mission, that semi shared space is one thing that makes San Francisco. The only thing that we hear other than the bleating Christians are the happy sounds of kids playing during recess at Marshall School and the screech of the BART trains into 16th and Mission station when the winds blow right.
But, no, sorry, since I'm sure SF's "tolerance" and "diversity" are all part of what you like about this town, you naturally welcome all hues of political debate, right?
And you would never seek to suppress criticism nor censor criticism. After all, rigidity and intolerance really wouldn't be San Francisco values, would it?
No censorship about it, we've heard you, there is nothing about your position that is unknown to us, and we've rejected your position. There is nothing to be gained by continuously bombarding us with your narrow and impractical ideology other than to disrupt. Your right to free speech ends where our right to not be repeatedly harassed begins.
You are worse than the communists.
But I tire quickly of reading the re-runs of platitudes and falsehoods from Anonymous/guest/Guest/anonymous. Unfortunately, these comment pages devolve from meaningful discussion to SFGate like hatred that yearns to be ignored.
What "right" to free speech does a private individual have on someone else's private website?
as much right to post here as you do.
The grant of an easement to use private property is not a right, it is a grant. You are abusing that grant.
Your desire to censor any contrary expression, while predictable and evil, is easily refuted.
One could argue that any website which is part of the "fourth estate" ought to provide an open forum as part of its journalistic ethics program, just like they need to have news ombudsmen. But its a matter of spirit, and not letter of law.
(Even so, the SFBG is a more purely open politics forum than most. Compare to the obvious slant of the SFGate forum; defacto whether you attribute that to direct influence of the editorial staff or simply through a comment reporting system of their engineering. How long would some "liberal troll" last on a right wing forum? Do we need to try a field trip to prove it?)
That private forums in general aren't a reliable venue for public debate and can be interfered with by so many possible agencies is a topic for serious consideration, as I'm sure Anonymous will agree.
suppose I can understand you appreicate the fact that SFBG is much more open to a diverse constituency here with opposing views. I feel sure you would hate to see any censorship here even though, of course, SFBG are entitled to censor free speech here since they are paying for the bandwidth (or tather, their paid hooker ad's are).
Or are you arguing here for SFBG to suppress opinions that aren't mindless echoes of the usual left-wing dogma? Do you want a debating chamber here a circle jerk?
you trip and fall, cut yourself badly and bleed to death while everybody laughs.
from various other websites?
Methinks, perhaps so.
you'd know that QED stands for Quad Erat Demonstrandum - "which was to be proven". Commonly used in mathematical theorem proofs.
You need more than argument by the waving of the hands and appeal to scripture to conclude QED unless your intent is to harass.
revealing that you would regard the free expression of diverse opinions as a form of harassment.
Only an intolerant and dogmatic soul would feel offended by a contrary argument.
We've heard your ideology over and again, it is the dominant ideology and is pervasive. We are not excluding anything by creating a forum where other conversations are not drowned out by the dominant ideology. We hear ya.
should matter.
Are we proving mathematical theorems on these comment pages?
intelligent and authoritative -- which, as with any of the rest of this jack-ass' incessant crap, is just about as from reality as possible; likewise the accusations of instigating ad hominem attacks or being against debate and advocating censorship.
Why do right-wing trolls stupidly bray like rabid jackasses? It is their nature. The mentally feeble seek to equalize themselves by putting on false aires of intellectualism and denigrating their betters.
whether it's cheap throwaway insults like "troll" when you realize you are losing a debate but also, and perhaps more significantly, labels like "left-wing" and "right-wing". In my case, my beliefs do not correspond with any political party, and so I cannot be conviently classifed.
But of course, like the racists and slaveowners of old, bigots have to first classify people before they can discriminate against them. Classification systems entail bigotry and are necessary for it, so you should worry that you are so quick to categorize others and make over-generalizations.
You discriminate against progressive ideas all the time, hateful troll.
I elect to comprehensively refute.
With minor modifications to the FICA tax, its future will be insured.
The parasite class that guest/anonymous are part of or aspire to want access to the SS funds so they can steal profits from it.
will avoid the SSI fund becoming bankrupt?
Now, I might agree thfat it's shortfall is much less than the truly unaffordable, unfunded liability that is MediCare and MediCaid. So arguably Social Security is the "least hosed" part of our entitlement culture. But it is still deeply in debt, due to it's inherent Ponzi nature.
But no, I do not want to steal your SSI contributions. but for your own sake, I think you should want to own it and invest it yourself, as I suspect the government will eventually renege on it's obligations.
Medicaid and Medicare are assets, not liabilities, investments not expenses.
So, if they are assets, how much could you sell them for?
This should be good.
If Medicare and Social Security were not valuable, there would not be relentless efforts to privatize them.
entitlement programs. SS, Medicare and MediCaid between them don't have a dollar of assets between them. They are quite simply unfunded future liabilities. Who would want to take those on?
We know why you right wingers want your grubby paws on our social insurance, the issue is whether they are valuable or not, assets or liabilities. The social insurance programs are assets and that is why Wall Street has their eyes on them, to capture that value. They could give a rats ass about health care and seniors.
Ask any accountant.
Thats a lot of percentage points! And for department chairs losing their stipends on top of that 8.8%? That is a BIG paycut! Ouchee!
Pray, shall I shed a tear for my dear city college faculty friends?
I shall not.
Why the heck can't we double tuition fees? They are ridiculously low right now.
It's hard to say who you're talking to when everyone identifies themselves as Guest/Anonymous/anonymous/guest, but it seems like the same people who are arguing for sky high administrators salaries are arguing for cuts to students and staff.
According to you people,
-Administrators deserve hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars a year, and should come from the private sector, because how else can you hire good professionals?
-Faculty and staff: cuts cuts and more cuts. I guess hiring and retaining good professionals doesn't matter when it actually comes to unimportant stuff like... you know, actually teaching students.
-College facilities: sell it off to private capital and real estate developers
-Students: Fuck the students. Let them pay through the nose.
I see. It's the same ideology demanding socialism for the rich and austerity for everyone else. It's transparent, and it's vile.
I love CCSF and got my start with math and science there...
I think they need to offer more math, programming, engineering and the like...
I wanted to enroll in a discrete math class or engineering class just to round myself out and practice while in career transition....couldn't because they are FULL...
Too much focus on liberal arts, there's no job that requires that much liberal arts education in a technological market like the one in the SF Bay Area....sorry to say...
Also, what about the big new gym ....that was a multi million dollar project...
Again, too much hope that sports will save them, that just ESL will save them...
Just start offering more CAD, programming, GIS, web dev and pple will enroll...
My 2 cents...worth every penny
If yer not smart enough to teach yourself discrete mathematics without having to pay someone else, then you're probably not sharp enough for me to take your political analytics seriously.
I thought that's what Phil Day practiced, with some extra help from the Natalie Berg block of the College Board.
Discreet math would be what Day and Berg thought that they were practicing.
Discrete math represents the theoretical underpinnings of data structures, algorithmics and computability, no rocket science involved.
spend more than you collect, you'll end up just as broke as CCSF.
so intolerant; so tedious.
Ad hominem troll.

Broyles will need another knee operation after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis. Broyles hurt his right knee, and coach Jim Schwartz says the promising rookie will need surgery. He also tore an ACL while he was a senior at Oklahoma, but that was in his left knee.||||||| With Broyles out, the Lions suddenly have a very thin receiving corps behind star Calvin Johnson. Schwartz said Monday that Titus Young is away from the team again - and he gave no indication when or if the exiled receiver might return. Detroit previously lost Nate Burleson to a season-ending knee injury. Broyles has 22 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Intel will make a major mobile push at the Intel Developer Forum next week as the company tries to remain relevant in a market where tablets and smartphones are becoming an alternative to PCs for everyday computing.
Intel is at a critical juncture with a dominant position in the PC market, but with a very small presence in the fast-growing tablet and smartphone markets. Intel will highlight new Ultrabooks and new forms of interaction -- touch, voice and gesture -- coming to future designs, and will also talk about its tablet strategy as the company looks to raise the competition against ARM, which rules the tablet market and has ambitions in the PC market.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
Intel's business has been hurting with the recent slump in PC sales, which has partly been affected by growing sales of tablets and smartphones. Intel on Friday cut its third-quarter revenue forecast, saying sales were hurt because of a slow global economy. Weak Ultrabook and PC sales and a cautious outlook by PC makers relying on Intel chips have hurt the chip maker, said Vijay Rakesh, an analyst at Sterne Agee, in a research note on Friday.
Despite weak sales, Intel is putting more muscle and financial resources behind Ultrabooks, a new category of thin and light laptops with flexible designs including touchscreens that can be detached and used as tablets. By finding middle ground between tablets and laptops, Intel is looking to counter ARM's threat while also reinvigorating the PC market.
The opening speech as IDF is usually given by Intel CEO Paul Otellini, but with mobility in focus, the stage this year will be taken by Dadi Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's Architecture Group. In addition to Ultrabooks, Perlmutter will provide details on the company's next-generation Core processor for Ultrabooks code-named Haswell, which is more power efficient and will help increase performance and battery life of the next wave of Ultrabooks due out next year. Intel is decreasing the power of Haswell chips to as low as 10 watts, which is an improvement from the current crop of 17-watt Ultrabook chips code-named Ivy Bridge.
But for now, Intel said there are 40 touch-enabled Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks in the design pipeline, and models from companies like Asus, Dell, Lenovo, Panasonic and Toshiba will be on display at the show.
Intel is established in the PC platform, but is now making a big push into the smartphone and tablet markets, said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research.
"What we may end up seeing is how Intel manages the existing established platform, while participating in new markets as well," McCarron said.
Another catalyst for Intel's growth in the tablet and PC markets will be Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 OS, which has a touch interface and works with Intel chips. As an alternative, Microsoft will offer Windows RT for ARM-based tablets and PCs.
If Windows 8 succeeds, Intel succeeds, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64. The difference between Windows 8 and Windows RT is especially important for PC makers who have a presence in the enterprise market.
"Windows RT lacking legacy support is a problem for enterprises who have their own homegrown apps that they run on employee devices," Brookwood said.

Tomato & Brie Focaccia Recipe
Combine tender, golden yeast bread with creamy, melted brie and tomatoes, and you've got an appetizer that guests will line up for. It also makes a great side to soup, salad or pasta dishes. —Laurie Figone, Petaluma, California
- 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 6 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the water and 1/4 cup oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Punch dough down. Press into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning and remaining oil. Spread over dough; top with cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack. Yield: 12 servings.

Hurricane Sandy forced countless evacuations along the Northeast coast. Which means some family pets got left behind.
The Humane Society of Chittenden County is helping to transfer dogs from New York and the greater Metropolitan area. Disaster animal response teams are providing drivers to relocate animals to Vermont once space is open for strays. The president of the humane society says there are hundreds of animals that need a new home.
Humane Society of Chittenden County, Tom Ayres, said, "I think there's going to be a steady stream of animals coming northward for a while as facilities up here are able to make room to take them in...the indications are that it's going to go on for some time."
The organization says at this time they are not sure when they will start transferring dogs to the shelter.

MySQL Milestone Release 5.5.0
To counter the back-and-forth about the future of the free MySQL database after Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems, developers have put effort into releasing another test version, called a second milestone, of the product.
MySQL developers explain the lack of a first milestone release for 5.5 by their new release model, which moved to milestones instead of alpha and beta designations. Milestone 1 was actually version 5.4, which had not yet adopted the new model. Goal of the model is sequences of shorter releases with fewer features that are thoroughly tested, rather than alphas and betas in longer intervals leading to a major release. In theory, developers and users are thereby better served in trying out new features.
Behind what is called MySQL 5.5.0-m2 and ready for download are numerous enhancements in the replication mechanisms and partitioning models. The complete list of changes is at the MySQL developer site. A download of the new milestone is also available there.

The folk-tinged Father John Misty goes it alone
CMJ 2013: Father John Misty "Solo"Music Hall of Williamsburg (66 North 6th Street, Brooklyn, New York, NY) Map it $30
We aren't sure the papacy would approve of his antics, but in our eyes, Father John Misty can do no wrong. The invention of former Fleet Foxes' drummer Josh Tillman, Father John croons folk-tinged narratives purportedly born from 'shrooming adventures, peddles Fear Fun-branded one-hitters at his merch table, and is now following in Britney Spears' footsteps with the introduction of his own perfume line, Innocence. Touring non-stop since the release of his debut on Sub Pop last year, the good Father leaves his band behind for tonight's show, which is one of the gems of the CMJ fest. Badge bearers should arrive early, this is certain to be a hot ticket. Experimental comedian Kate Berlant opens.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Limited Brands, operator of Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and other stores, says its September revenue at store open at least a year increased 5 percent, topping Wall Street's estimates.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a 4.3 percent rise in the figure.
Revenue at stores open at least a year is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Total revenue for the five weeks ended Sept. 29 declined 6 percent to $773.6 million from $818.6 million.
Limited Brands Inc. said Thursday that its year-to-date revenue from stores open at least a year rose 7 percent. Total revenue fell 3 percent to $5.99 billion from $6.2 billion.
Limited Brands, based in Columbus, Ohio, runs 2,624 specialty stores in the U.S. and its brands are sold in more than 700 additional company-operated and franchised locations globally.
Despite the improvement in revenue, Limited shares fell 99 cents, or 2 percent, to $49.25 in premarket trading. Its shares hit a 52-week high of $52.20 per share on Sept, 21.

Responses to "With the Help of a Healing Hand"
Dr. Sarah Jones's courageous recovery may actually enhance the superb surgical skills she possessed before her accident on August 8, 2009.
Jones was the fortunate recipient of excellent care provided by the surgical team who reattached her fingers and her occupational therapist who helped her to make them work again.
As a result of this role change, which cast her as the patient, she may now further appreciate the inestimable value of her skills to both other accident victims and first-year medical students who will one day work beside her in the OR.
Evan Thompson, Arts'77, Toronto, ON
Thank you to the Review and to Dr. Sarah Jones for sharing the story of her healing. Her perseverance, the skill and care of her therapists, doctors, surgeons, and nurses, and the loving support of her husband and colleagues lifted my spirits once again and renewed my commitment to my calling to provide spiritual care in the health care system.
Though the injuries, the anguish, and the horrors of the losses pale in comparison, as I read Sarah's story I could not avoid remembering my own encounter with care. Thirty-seven years ago, I lost the use of my left index finger in a practice accident the week of the high school championship football game. The day after the season ended, pain forced me to go to Kingston General Hospital. The attending resident asked me questions about my background (my father immigrated to Canada as a farm worker in 1952 and worked as a draftsman at the time), my present family circumstances (we lived in a small rural community and my previous summer job had been throwing hay bales for local dairy farmers), and my future aspirations (I didn't have the slightest clue). I don't suppose I did very well on this pre-treatment survey: I was 16, in pain, and mostly interested in girls and in making party money to celebrate our football championship dominated my mental landscape that day.
"We could send you for surgery," I was told, "but I don't think the risks of further damage are warranted by the potential benefits."
When I inquired, something vague about "limited professional options" was the reply. When I pressed for details as the brash young activist I was back then, the doctor said, "Well, you're not going to be a brain surgeon, are you?"
I got an x-ray, a splint and four occupational therapy sessions when the splint came off. On my final visit with the doctor, he told me to expect "about 50 per cent" use of the finger "over time," early onset of arthritis, and wished me luck.
The finger stuck out from my hand like a foreign thing until I decided to teach myself how to play the guitar during my "year off" from my BA, insisting on using the left hand to shape the chords. I'll never forget the pain as I forced this joint further than it had moved in four years, the anguished prayers (which included forgiving the man who had treated me so callously), and the thrill of success as strength gradually increased in my whole hand. How fortunate we are that things have changed since 1975! How thankful we should be that treatment for hand injuries has developed such capacity in such a short time! And how vigilant we must be that prejudices such as those I experienced are never allowed to determine the course of treatment for anyone in need. As it turned out, the doctor was right about one thing: I never did become a brain surgeon.
Although the pressure on health care resources is constantly increasing, I hope that the medical community of Queen's University will work to ensure that Sarah Jones' story is the standard of care for hand injuries, and not mine.

Care staff on 'red alert' to help those trapped in snow (From Bucks Free Press)

Beaconsfield care staff on 'red alert' to help those trapped in snow
2:15pm Monday 21st January 2013 in News By Lawrence Dunhill
CARE workers from Beaconsfield have been put on 'red alert' to help vulnerable residents who may be trapped in their homes by snow.
Kate Hetzel, managing director of Carewatch, has made all her staff available for immediate live-in care due to the continuing severe weather conditions.
The firm's office in Burkes Parade has been covering calls 24-hours-a-day and staff are walking to the shops to buy essential groceries for many clients across the South Bucks and Maidenhead areas.
One carer packed a bag Friday morning fearing she would not make it home, and at the request of a client's daughter stayed with the client over the weekend.
Kate added: "She still had not been home Monday morning but hopefully will have made it by now. It doesn't stop with the carers either – my care manager took a roast dinner round to one of our live-in clients as she had no cooker...
"We want to offer families reassurance that our teams can get to their relatives and stay with them for the duration of the snow – we have even set up a special number for immediate response.
"No one should be left vulnerable in their own home. My team are on hand to move in and keep all safe in situations where extended family live too far away to get to elderly relatives.
"So much can go wrong from a safety aspect as well as day to day living. Many families just do not have the good fortune of relying on neighbours – it is just not worth taking a risk which is why our team decided to run the red alert operation. We are informing all hospitals of our plans too."
If you or someone you know needs the company's services this week call the dedicated number 07912732405.

Network Setup 18.104.22.168 is available in the Microsoft Marketplace for Lumia 610, Lumia 800, Lumia 710, and Lumia 900 in all countries except USA, Canada, Columbia, India and Iceland.
The app is also not currently available for the Lumia models sold in the following Operator Variant forms: Boost (Australia), Talkmobile (UK), Virgin (UK).
Note; fixed typo in title

Around 1 month ago the network setup app was on the marketplace already in the UK, as I had to use it to fix a MMS issue on my Lumia 800.
I just uninstalled network setup as my MMS again stopped working, and I was going to reinstall it, as someone had said this helped them. The only problem is network setup is now no longer on the UK marketplace on my Lumia 800. My provider is T-Mobile UK and I am on the latest firmware.
11-07-2012 10:08
Hi GJS1
As the app isn't available for Virgin UK models could explain why it isn't available for your T-Mobile provided Lumia. Virgin piggy back on the T-Mobile network as they don't have a network of their own.
16-07-2012 19:23 - edited 16-07-2012 19:24
Has the app been pulled again?
I can't see it in the Marketplace and my Country/Phone isn't listed above as not available?
UK Lumia 800 unlocked running on O2.

Can anyone from Nokia chime in on this? The app is still not available and as such I am unable to send MMS.

Have you checked in Network manage to see if o2 is selected. If it is, try selecting a different network then switch back to o2 to force it to register the new settings on the network.

I have also tried that with no success.

I would rather wait for an official reply from Nokia regarding the Network Setup app than reset my phone. This does not seem like a very proactive solution. MMS was working fine a few months ago and suddely stopped working. There's no guarantee it won't happen again and I would have to reset my phone each time.
20-07-2012 18:47
I too have this issue - are Nokia expected to comment any time soon?

Hi Steve,
Thank you for emailing the Nokia USA Careline.
In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that in the coming weeks, the Network Setup application will be made available for Lumia devices in North America via the Marketplace. This is designed to allow phones that have been unlocked by the operator to be setup with new MMS message center numbers that will allow these devices to send and receive MMS messages with SIM cards on other networks.
In line with this, we suggest that you frequently visit the Marketplace to check the availability of Network Setup.
We are hoping for your understanding and we highly appreciate your patience and cooperation regarding this matter.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. To ensure proper handling of your case, kindly continue using the current subject line.
You may also call Nokia Careline at 1-888-665-4228 from Mondays to Fridays at 9:00 am - 9:00 pm EST and on Saturdays from 10:00 am - 7:00 pm EST for immediate assistance.
Thank you for your email.

- Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, United States
- It can take up to 24 hours (or sometimes even more) before the app will be visible in the WP Marketplace.
- Devices in some markets may need to be running the very latest software before the app is visible in Marketplace. Existing devices began updating June 20 2012 in the first countries, new devices being produced already have the latest version
- Shortly after launch, it is hoped that the app will also appear as part of the Nokia Collection in Marketplace.
- We have forwarded a question on availability for Canada and India and will share any information we can as we receive it in this thread.
Hope this helps,
This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Canada still can't get it? Why does the US have access but not Canada. Can we expect it or is there another 3 month delay? Unbelievable that on day one I paid over $500 to buy this phone unlocked in Canada and still cannot use the most basic features like MMS. This is pathetic. Blackberry is better than this and they're barely alive
