Solid day today. -2, 68 at my home course. Had a couple of goof-ups, but I've already forgotten those. Overall I played quite solid, was bogey-free until 9. Hit a good majority of my shots right where and how I wanted. Rolled in a couple of nice long birdie putts and made all but one from 3' and in.
Two shots of the day include; a nice 35y bunker shot with my 54* that I hit to 15'. I've been having a real tough time with my bunker play lately, so it was nice to hit something close. Plus I made the putt on top of that! Second shot of the day was a 58* from 49y. I put in some serious time on these shots yesterday. I picked my yardage, 38y, set up, and hit away. The ball landed in the perfect spot, rolled up and lipped out for eagle, leaving a 3' putt for birdie.
Practice really does pay off!

shot an 88 today. trying to average down in the low 80's by spring. Best round so far this year was an 84. I think if i keep at it and keep working on my swing and shots within a 100 yards ill break 80 at least once this year. On a positive note my putting was decent today but still a work in progress.

I shot a 96 today, which I believe is the first time I've broken 100 since taking most of last spring and summer off. Today was the first round in a long time where I felt like my game was improving. If I could start controlling my driver, I think I can move beyond the low-mid 90s I've basically been shooting for the last several years.

Had the worst round in a couple years. Was inconsistent off the tee, left, right, left, right and even popped on up about 80 yards. My distances on my irons were way off for some reason, I was hitting my short irons 20 yards longer than normal and my long irons 20 yards shorter. I couldn't hit a wedge to save my life all day. My putting was pretty good though.
The course we were playing was horrible, I was getting better lies in the rough than in the fairway because there were huge bare spots (40ft wide and deep). I just wasn't comfortable standing over my shots at all. Ended up with a 105, and I'm typically in the high 80's lately.

First full 18 of the year and shot a 102. Couldn't go to the driving range before cause it was closed for some reason and the greens were a lot slower than I was expecting so my first 3 holes were a complete disaster (7, 6 and a 9). After that I start settling in a bit but my front 9 was still kind of a mess.
Turned it around on the bank 9 and shot a 48 which I was pretty happy with.

Went to my favorite cow pasture golf course and shot 94. I was OK with that considering available practice time recently. I had not hit my driver in a while so had to back off to settle down.
Happy with chip shots. Went for a risky ending on 18 that likely cost me a stroke or two but good learning experience.

I've played 3 9 hole rounds and one full 18 hole rounds with scores of 42, 41, 48 and 85. Temps ranged anywhere from 48 down to 43 degrees and a steady light rain (my last18 hole round). I've mostly hit my driver OK, with my last round hitting 7 of 15 FW. My iron play sucks as last round I only hit 2 of 18 greens, but scrambled well and got up and down 5 times for par and had only 3 doubles bogeys. The greens were soaking wet and some had standing water, but I stubbornly putted out and had no 3 putts. All in all I think my iron play is not all that bad. I'm not hitting greens, but my misses are near misses, which leads to easier scrambling.
I really can't wait for warmer weather!!

Yesterday I played for the first time in nearly 5 years and shot a 96 (par 66). I felt good about the day and had a couple of really good shots. On one hole, my 2nd shot on a par 4 from 200 yards (poor driver, indeed) landed about 20 feet from the hole. Probably my best shot ever. :)
I learned that I simply need more consistency in my swing. I also need to work on driving distance and putting.

Having a new driver in my bag and watching golf on TV, I was jonesing to get on the course this afternoon after the Sunday rush died. Step up to the 1st tee with my RazrFit and kinda top cut one down the fairway. "Whatever" I think to myself, first swing. End up 7' for birdie and miss it. Regular par on 2. Super up and down flop shot on 3. I get to 4, where I can use my brand new driver again, and I notice a rattle in the head, ohhhh nooooo, the epoxy is lose!?! I get one dang swing out of the club. Burn! So I'll be calling Callaway tomorrow, more likely Tuesday cause of this stinkin Presidents Day holiday. I've got a tournament next Monday too that I really want to have a new driver for. Anyway. I went on to play the rest of my round with just my 3wood for tee shots. No biggie, my course isn't terribly long, but there are a few par-5s left. I freakin' cranked my 3wood all day!! hitting it just as far as I have been with my driver. I was putting a little extra mustard on the shots, that may have something to do with it, but dang! I can't wait to put those swings on a driver and see what happens. I felt like Keegan Bradley out there this afternoon, whew! Anyway, I rolled my putter really nicely and hit some quality approach shots too. Only got through 12 holes before darkness set in. Finished at -2 though! Three birdies, one bogey.

J-Live "The Authentic". Directed by Will Feagins Jr. From the album "S.P.T.A. Said Person of That Ability". J-Live approaches "The Authentic" and much of the album, as if he were a three man group, rather than a solo emcee. Track produced by Marco Polo.

Globally renowned Enterprise Architect and Cloud Computing Expert to serve as Chief Evangelist
GLENS FALLS, NY, January 27, 2014 – EnterpriseWeb, provider of the first Enterprise-Class, Web-scale application platform for the Cloud (www.enterpriseweb.com), announced the addition of Jason Bloomberg to its senior management team. Mr. Bloomberg will serve in the newly created role of Chief Evangelist, where he will lead the message and the community building efforts for EnterpriseWeb's next-generation Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings.
Mr. Bloomberg recently served as President of ZapThink where he created the Licensed ZapThink Architect and Enterprise Cloud Computing courses that he conducted globally. He was also the primary contributor to the popular ZapFlash newsletter and blog for twelve years.
"I am excited to bring a global thought leader like Jason on board," said Dave Duggal, Managing Director, EnterpriseWeb. "Jason has been building the case for Agile IT Architecture for over a decade and is uniquely qualified to communicate the value proposition of EnterpriseWeb."
Mr. Bloomberg is recognized for his deep insight into Cloud Computing, Enterprise Architecture, and Service-Oriented Architecture. He is a frequent conference speaker and prolific writer, and he also serves as blogger for DevX. His latest book, The Agile Architecture Revolution: How Cloud Computing, REST-based SOA, and Mobile Computing are Changing Enterprise IT (John Wiley & Sons), was published in March 2013.
"Of all the software vendors I've advised during my 12 years at ZapThink, EnterpriseWeb stands out with an innovative platform design that delivers on the promise of Agile Architecture," said Jason Bloomberg. "They've reimagined middleware for the Cloud, fusing RESTful interoperability with intelligent agent technology to deliver data-driven business services. The result is a more responsive, adaptive, and manageable enterprise-class application platform that helps organizations achieve the elusive goals of Service-Oriented Architecture."
Mr. Bloomberg will continue his thought leadership activities at EnterpriseWeb by launching the company's new blog and newsletter, Loosely-Coupled. View the first issue at www.enterpriseweb.com/blog and subscribe at www.enterpriseweb.com/newsletter.
He is also launching EnterpriseWeb's new Webinar series, Spotlight. Register for the inaugural Webinar, "Real-time is Agile" with Special Guest, David Linthicum on February 25 at www.enterpriseweb.com/spotlight.
Mr. Bloomberg will also be continuing his popular global conference speaking engagements. He will next be speaking on The Agile Architecture Revolution at SIGS DATACOM OOP 2014 in Munich, Germany on February 5.
About EnterpriseWeb
EnterpriseWeb is the first Enterprise-Class, Web-scale application platform for the Cloud. It is being proven in mission-critical operations from life sciences to telecom supporting a diverse set of real-time, data-driven, policy-based applications.
To date, application development using Cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions has generally been limited to building rapid prototypes and experimental applications. At the same time, simply porting legacy apps doesn't deliver a return on investment or transform the business; it's just recreating the same old silos in the Cloud.
EnterpriseWeb was developed from the ground up for a Cloud-optimized user experience. It supports a new class of applications and processes that are responsive, adaptive and scalable, while enforcing business compliance and automating IT governance.
EnterpriseWeb's breakthrough is its novel use of intelligent agents that dynamically "find and bind" application resources based on business context to personalize every interaction. Agents also handle all run time implementation details, sparing programmers from repetitive and tedious development work, thus greatly improving IT productivity. Overall, the agents support a more loosely-coupled and agile enterprise, which enables collaboration between, across, and beyond organizational boundaries for integrated value chains.
EnterpriseWeb is available for public Cloud, private Cloud, and on premise deployment. The company works closely with independent software vendors, system integrators, and domain partners to develop differentiated SaaS offerings, as well as enterprise customers that run ready-to-use SaaS applications or leverage the PaaS platform to develop their own solutions. For more information visit www.enterpriseweb.com, email [email protected] or call +1 (646) 502-8062.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

Texans, Broncos to camp out
ENGLEWOOD — Jadeveon Clowney and J.J. Watt get to chase Peyton Manning around for a few days at practice this August, not that fans will get to watch in person.
The Denver Broncos and Houston Texans will conduct three joint training camp practices in Colorado leading up to their Aug. 23 preseason game at Sports Authority Field. They will practice together Aug. 19-21 at the Dove Valley training headquarters.
Because of a $35 million construction project of an indoor practice facility, the Broncos aren't allowing fans to view their workouts this summer for safety reasons. They can watch three practices at their stadium, all of which will take place before the Texans' visit.
It's the first time the Broncos will have hosted another team at the Dove Valley facility since practicing with the Dallas Cowboys in the 2008 preseason. The Texans and Broncos last held joint practices in 2003 and 2005 in Houston.
"It's always good to do that when you can, to practice with another team, especially after a couple of weeks of camp. You're seeing the same things from your offense and they're seeing the same things from us. So, it can be a good changeup," Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio said.
"And it can be very beneficial as long as both teams come to work with the idea that you're going to practice and not spend the day being chippy."
The Texans are coming off a miserable 2-14 season. But it allowed them the top overall draft pick, which they used to select Clowney, the star defensive end from South Carolina who is converting to outside linebacker as Houston adopts a 3-4 alignment for 2014.
Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase put a positive spin on seeing so much of Clowney and Watt, the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year, this summer.
Noting that AFC West rival Kansas City also operates a 3-4 defense, "it'll be good experience for us and going against those players, that pass rush especially," Gase said. "That will get us ready to go into the season."

Weakening markets, new government investigations, growing legal costs, and a witch hunt for the Murdochs add risk to owning News Corp. shares, said Needham Co. in downgrading the media conglomerate's stock.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has historically underperformed broader indices in weak markets and this trend is set to continue, Needham analyst Laura Martin said in a note.
"Recent market volatility suggests that markets may trend downward over the next 12 months," Martin said, adding that News Corp.'s share price underperformed downward corrections in the S&P 500 typically by 15 percent over 6-12 months.
Martin reckons litigation costs -- arising out of lawsuits and government investigations following the News of The World phone hacking scandal -- will be a meaningful cost center for the company for the foreseeable future.
"We think this expense is not adequately reflected in Wall Street models," said Martin, who downgraded the stock a notch to "hold" and suspended her price target.
The analyst also expects the rivals of News Corp.-owned Fox News and WSJ to "exhibit sharper elbows" in an election year like 2012.
"We believe Wall Street underestimates the resolve of powerful personal enemies of the Murdoch's and political enemies of NWSA's conservative media outlets," said Martin, who prefers CBS and Viacom to News Corp.
News Corp. shares have lost almost 14 percent in value since the News of The World phone hacking scandal first emerged in early July.

Comments about Nike NIK BAYLOR GREEN ARCH COTTON VNECK TEELADMSY:
I was looking for a cute, feminine shirt to show my Baylor pride and this definitely fits the bill! The v-neck is a little deeper than I expected, but not so deep that it was an issue for me. The sizes definitely run small though - I'm typically an XS/S but ended up with a M because the S was almost skin tight!

Oh Brad! This zombie flick is brain dead: CHRIS TOOKEY reviews World War Z
Verdict: World War Zzzzzz
Movies don't come bigger than this, and zombie flicks tend to come an awful lot smaller. In Shaun of the Dead, the undead had to content themselves with snacking off a handful of British actors in a deserted pub. Here, it's the future of humanity at stake.
This time, Brad Pitt is here to save us, and the skies are soon full of crashing helicopters, screaming jets and stuntpeople being sucked out of aircraft.
So what's it like? Well, it's awfully like all the epic action films made by Roland Emmerich, ranging from the nearly sublime (Independence Day) to the totally ridiculous (10,000 BC). It's slap-bang in the middle of that quality spectrum, round about the level of Godzilla and not quite as classy as The Day the World Ended.
Scroll down for trailer
Brad Pitt in action in World War Z where he stars as an American UN worker and father
The film is most impressive in its big set-pieces. The initial panic on the streets of Philadelphia is thrillingly done, as is the fall of Jerusalem to the zombie horde. There's also an effective airborne sequence.
But it is horrifyingly feeble when it comes to characterisation. Brad Pitt's hero lacks personality. All we know is that he loves his family, but no one has given him or his relations any exceptional qualities.
A key fault is that we never find out why the powers-that-be at the United Nations think so highly of Pitt. He's resourceful, but he doesn't seem particularly brave, bright or knowledgeable. It is a central weakness of the film that, without any particular expertise, he solves the mystery of how to fight the zombies before anyone else. It's as though no one except him is paying attention.
World War Z has had what might euphemistically be called a troubled history, with producer-star Pitt publicly at odds with director Marc Forster, who shows here once again that he is more confident with small-scale projects (such as Finding Neverland) than action adventures (such as the Bond bore-a-thon, Quantum of Solace).
Pitt attended the UK premiere of World War Z with wife Angelina Jolie at the Empire, Leicester Square
After negative reaction within the studio, the final 40 minutes were rewritten and reshot at a cost of $200million. It's hard to know where the money went. The long, would-be climactic sequence inside a Welsh research laboratory looks about as lavish as the average episode of Doctor Who.
Brad Pitt introduced the screening I attended, and promised the audience 'the most intense film you're going to see this summer'. He called it 'original' and 'genre-bending'. If only it were.
Okay, the zombies are not the slow-moving undead of yesteryear. They're sprightly, aggressive and eager to bite. It's like a planet seething with Mike Tysons and Luis Suarezes, doing lots of jerky, uncoordinated dance moves that look like Jarvis Cocker in the heyday of Pulp. But they're not original. They were like that in Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.
It's a tedious cliché that Pitt is torn between nurturing his cute children and rescuing the whole of mankind. No one except him is going to think that's a tough call, but Pitt spends too much of the first hour chewing his lip over it.
If you've read Max Brooks' original book, published in 2006, you will know that Pitt's character is a UN worker trying to piece together the truth from a variety of sources.
Apparently, the first draft of the script, by J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote Changeling, Clint Eastwood's classy drama starring Brad's wife Angelina Jolie, was faithful to the source material.
Producer Pitt and Paramount junked that investigative structure, which might have turned into a movie along the lines of District 9, All The President's Men or even Citizen Kane, in favour of a straightforward hero-to-the-rescue scenario.
That was written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, who scripted the undistinguished Kingdom and Lions for Lambs. Despite numerous others being recruited to rework the ending, Carnahan gets the main credit, shared with Drew Goddard (who directed The Cabin in the Woods) and Damon Lindelof, head writer on Lost.
None of the writers is at his best, and the film bears unmistakable signs of having been assembled by a Hollywood studio over-preoccupied with earning a family-friendly certificate. Virtually all the violence takes place fractionally off-screen. Disappointingly, the final product is much more conventional than the book and avoids its most interesting and innovative qualities.
Pitt's character in the film is a father torn between looking after his family and saving the world
Brooks' purpose was to satirise the bungling of government, the excesses of survivalism and the dangers of corporate power. In the book, the zombie virus spreads from China via refugees and an illicit trade in human organs. Pakistan and Iran destroy each other in a nuclear dispute over border controls. Cuba becomes the world's most thriving economy and the centre of international banking.
Paramount evidently think political stuff is too much for a cinema audience. Maybe they're also nervous about how it might go down in China, Pakistan and Iran, not to mention America. So they've played safe and turned the story into a one-man triumph for an American UN operative with guts, intellect and movie-star looks.
World War Z isn't terrible. Parts are impressive and exciting. But the incredibly long distance it falls short of its source material means it must rank as one of Hollywood's most wasted opportunities.
There are estimates that the movie will have to gross $550million merely to break even. Its lack of originality, ingenuity and personality means that it has virtually no chance of making back that scale of investment.
Last year's most underperforming blockbuster, John Carter, is said to have lost Disney over $200million and resulted in regime change within the studio.
If I were a senior Paramount executive, I would be afraid. Very, very afraid.

Maybe I'll also buy the Haruhi Suzumiya movie, though I'm not in that much of a rush to get it seeing as I already have the Japanese Blu-Ray of it. The biggest anime series I'm waiting to buy at the moment is A Certain Scientific Railgun, but I don't think that's getting a release until 2012.
Manga-wise, I'll pick up a few volumes of series I already collect here and there, but I don't anticipate picking up anything new unless something captures my fancy. I enjoy Sailor Moon, but I'm not that motivated to buy the whole manga over again as I already have all of it (including Sailor V) in French and most of it in Japanese.

I think it goes to show how disinterested I am in the R1 market releases that the only upcoming release I'm waiting for is the 3rd Utena boxset -- which will replace my CPM box. And Kuragehime doesn't have a date yet. If it weren't for the worsening exchange rate, I probably would be pre-ordering the Fate/Zero Blurays.
And the question about French versions of anime/manga makes me retroactively kick myself for quitting French after grade 9. The English manga market is years behind the French.

The problem with doing a pre-order to get a print manga title as suggested is how many pre-orders make it worth the money to spend having it printed? A 100, a 1,000, or a 100,000? Despite what people think, printing (even in black and white) isn't that cheap, there are other costs besides the cost of ink (offsetting, binding, shipping, etc). How many people in the end would actually care enough to not only pay but know to pre-order this item to get it in print?
I do hope print on demand becomes a more feasible option, as I too like to own actual physical copies of my manga.

|Siren Visual just released Dennou Coil today (they're releasing part 2 in December)! I'm really excited about that, I'm also excited about the upcoming Mardock Scramble movie, Loups-Garous, Coicent/Five Numbers set, the blu-ray release of Five Centimeters per Second (which'll include She and Her Cat and Voices from a Distant Star two Shinkai works I've yet to see!), and the recently released second half of Katanagatari!

Stuff I'm looking forward to coming out (before the year ends) or came out recently: Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, Spice and Wolf S2, Utena boxset 3, Oreimo, Darker than Black S2, Hetalia movie, original Gundam series, Tales of the Abyss, Chaos Head
I admit it's not much to what it used to be, but my wallet sure appreciates the easing up. Right now, I'm watching the crap out of my Community Season 2 boxset (why does this show have so low ratings?! No current comedy can even compare to this! Come on, people!)
Next year will have more stuff I'm looking forward to: Madoka, "ef" series, Nichijou, Steins Gate, Deadman Wonderland, and it'd be ridiculous if FUNimation doesn't have Index/Railgun, Shakugan no Shana 3, original Tenchi, Haibane Renmei, etc. ready by then.

Well for french and other speaking audiences, that's what fansubs for!
As a collector, you are totally willing to pay three times for something just because. But you should still complain. Cause technically that complaint is the reason someone else is not buying their product. I'm guessing if there's a close complaint to sale ratio they can consider that lost profit and work to include it.

I actually would love to see French dubs/subs on more R1 releases. There are pockets of Francophones all over New England and presumably in other areas of the US near Canada. It surprises me a bit that it isn't part of the regular licensing process for Canadian distribution, what with that being a bilingual country and all. (And dorkily enough, I would have loved a French track on Le Chevalier D'Eon, simply because, well, I'm the kind of person who likes that sort of thing.) Spanish subs would make sense too, now that I think of it.
I do end up double and triple buying things, sometimes in payment of my fansub debt from college, but more often to get English versions that I can lend to my sisters (or simply not have to translate for them) of manga I have in French and Italian. In the case of Sailor Moon, I have the French editions, the Mixx editions, and am getting the Kodansha editions as well because the other two do not hold up well. It's annoying, but my own laziness in part.

The Kaze release of Le Chevalier D'Eon has a French dub. It's also on a huge discount right now with limited quantities, so this is the time to get it.

I should also point out that very rarely do shonen manga outside of Shonen Jump actually do this anymore. Shonen Sunday hasn't had an anime that's gone past 100 continual episodes since Zatch Bell. There only long running anime series left is Detective Conan. The last big series Shonen Sunday had was Major which was released in seasons much like an American show.
Shonen Magazine's Fairy Tail (which is at episode 98) is going to be it's first 100+ anime since Kindaichi Case File which came out 12 years before the Fairy Tail anime. This is not counting Hajime no Ippo which got a 76 episode anime than later a 26 episode anime. Fairy Tail was supposed to go only 48 but its popularity caused them to keep going (this is the reason why the anime removes all mention of Gildartz, he was never supposed to appear in the anime).

My highly anticipated fall releases aren't going to be anime or manga. It's video games. With things like Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City coming out, my priorities are elsewhere.
Trigun: Badlands Rumble just showed up at my place, so that anticipated DVD is checked off the list. So it is basically down to whenever Dark Horse decides to actually send out the next volume of Berserk, which was supposed to be out a few days ago.

The question about French subtitles got me thinking: Why not give consumers an SDH (or "dubtitles") option in addition to the "straight" translation? I'm sure there are people who like to watch the dub but have trouble hearing or understanding the dialogue. (I am more of a reading thinker than an auditory thinker, so I can empathize.)
As for fall releases, what the hell happened to Turn A Gundam? I remember Bandai making that announcement. I just hope they don't repeatedly put it on the back burner and end up never releasing it at all.

The highly ironic thing about this dub is that it was produced in Quebec by a French-Canadian studio.

Funimation used to have Dubtitles but alot of fans complained about the "confusion" of having three different subtitles so they dropped them.
I myself, am a hard of hearing customer who loves watching dubs, but 80% of the time I can not understand what is said. << I would love to have them have SDH and it wouldn't be so hard for their popular titles like FMA since it aired on cartoon network and has closed caption...but their dvds do not. In fact....Funimation's blurays FORBID subtitles to be turned on for the dub tracks, so it's leaving out the hard of hearing customers even more. For this reason, I boycott buying anything bluray.

Relax. That'll serve ya better when the Chinese businesses take over the world, sooner rather than later. Even the Japanese school system is considering teaching the Chinese language.

MIDHURST – The abrupt announcement by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (EFTO) Wednesday afternoon of a teacher's walkout on Friday, Jan. 11 caught all provincial public school boards by surprise, says Kathryn Wallace, director of education for the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB).
Following a Business and Facilities committee meeting held Wednesday night, Wallace told the Barrie Advance her office didn't receive notice of the "political action day" until after noon.
"Yes, it did take us by surprise," she said. "We were aware (EFTO officials) were meeting. The outcome we did not know."
Once the SCDSB received notice of the planned walkout, wheels had to turn rapidly to produce and circulate notices for students to take home.
"We did our best to notify our families," Wallace said. "There is also an electronic notice going out to parents and we've posted the closure of our schools on our board website (www.scdsb.on.ca)"
Board chairperson Robert North said the EFTO action "wasn't entirely unanticipated" but he was disappointed at the short notice given school boards.
"It's one thing to get a week's notice but it's extremely challenging for families to be given such short notice. It's hard."
North noticed a flurry of messages posted on social media sites concerning the job action.
"It's not rainbows and unicorns on social media," North said. "It's been a very challenging time for local boards of education. I certainly hope, given the short timeline, people are watching social media for updates."
Premier Dalton McGuinty's warned elementary teachers late Wednesday they are risking fines of up to $2,000 if they stay home on Friday.
The government is going to ask the Ontario Labour Relations Board to rule the walkout illegal.
"Let's agree to have this matter settled in court, not in our schools," McGuinty said.
According to Sam Hammond, EFTO president, 92 per cent of teachers voted in December to approve a one-day walkout.
High school teachers say they will follow their colleagues with a one-day protest on Wednesday, Jan. 16.
Education Minister Laurel Broten responded the labour board would also be asked to rule on this proposed walkout. Under Bill 115, the province has the power to seek cease-and-desist applications. If teachers' unions choose to defy the labour board rulings, the province could approach the Ontario Superior Court, arguing the unions are in contempt of court.
"With contracts now in place, teachers are no longer in a legal strike position," McGuinty added. "Strikes before the holidays were disappointing and were a real inconvenience to parents," McGuinty said, "but they were legal."

Alert for H7N9 birdflu virus after deaths in China
The Public Health Department has set up nationwide surveillance for H7N9 bird-flu virus after three people in China were infected and two of them died.
The system includes a lab test for confirmation, Surveillance Rapid Response Teams (SRRTs) and a check at hospitals around the country for patients with symptoms similar to severe pneumonia and flu, Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong said Monday.
So far, no suspects have been found and there have been no reports of H5N1 bird-flu cases over the past five years. The Bureau of Epidemiology would also work with related agencies inside and outside the country on this alert.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
They're missing limbs, suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, and they're being swept under the rug. Veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, at the Veteran's Administration in Phoenix are waiting upwards to six to nine months before they are acknowledged. Dr. Katherine Mitchell, medical director of the Phoenix VA's post-deployment clinic took her case to CNN - and says that things need to change fast.

Keywords: Veterans, Phoenix VA, backlog, trauma, medical care
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The nation's newest veterans are being made to wait for months in the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System. This continues despite a national mandate they be given priority access to medical care.
Dr. Mitchell accuses the Phoenix VA of not following a mandate that the highest priority be given to new or injured veterans for scheduling appointments.
Hunger never takes a vacation --
Wait lists in Phoenix for veterans injured in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan can be "six months, nine months or longer," Mitchell says.
"People that are 100 percent service-connected that are poly-trauma were waiting anywhere from six to 10 months to get into a new appointment when I found out about 'em," she said.
"We're talking about people that were injured by being blown up by IEDs. We're talking about people who had a mental breakdown and have severe PTSD and ...are having trouble functioning."
Case managers have approached her in her clinic and have asked: "This guy can't wait. Can you see him?"
Mitchell reported the alleged practice to the VA's Office of the Inspector General.
The VA then referred to the testimony of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki before a Senate committee looking into the allegations.
"It is important to allow OIG's independent and objective review to proceed until completion, and OIG has advised VA against providing information that could potentially compromise their ongoing review."
It's all part of a quickly unfolding scandal amid allegations of scheduling tricks and secret lists to hide months-long waits for care.
By far the most distressing problems emerged at the Phoenix VA, with sources revealing details of a secret waiting list. Sources say that at least 40 American veterans died while waiting for care at the VA there.
The allegations have been followed by news of investigations at more than two dozen facilities across the nation.
Mitchell says that this is because the VA doesn't have enough medical providers to care for veterans.
There are a few reasons for this, she said: low pay, lack of qualified professionals applying to work at the VA and a slow hiring process.
"As a result, you've got a lot of patients and not enough providers," she said. "It's not just Phoenix VA. It's across the country, which is why everyone is hiding a backlog."

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House scrambled yesterday to defend itself against criticism that it has consistently proposed cutting the budget for Army Corps of Engineers water- and flood-control projects — including several that could have mitigated the disaster in New Orleans.
Just in February, President Bush proposed cutting the Corps' budget by 7 percent. The year before, Bush proposed a 13 percent cut. His predecessors, including Presidents Carter and Clinton, also made cuts.

Such cuts are part of an annual ritual in Washington in which the president trims lawmakers' pet projects, knowing Congress will restore the money later on.
Yesterday, however, the Bush White House made available top Corps officials to assure reporters that cuts to the agency's budget did not cause the disaster. Even though the administration has chronically cut back on the Corps of Engineers' own requests for funding — including two key New Orleans-area projects — White House officials trumpeted the administration's support for the Corps.
"Flood control has been a priority of this administration from Day One," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.
Mike Parker, a former Mississippi congressman who was booted as civilian head of the Corps in 2002 after criticizing the White House budget office, said Hurricane Katrina was so powerful that flooding was inevitable — but it might not have been as bad.
"I'm not saying that this would not have occurred in New Orleans in this situation," Parker said. "I am saying that there would have been less flooding if all the projects had been funded."
A senior Corps commander discounted the notion the disaster could have been averted by full funding of projects such as new and beefed-up levees to protect against hurricane surges from Lake Pontchartrain and improving pumping and drainage capacity in New Orleans.
"These (projects) were not funded at the full ability of the Corps of Engineers to execute the project," said Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, commander of the Army Corps of Engineers. "But the important question is, 'Would that have made a difference?' And my assessment is, no, it would not." But Strock did acknowledge that more funding for the Southeast Louisiana Flood Control Project would allow the Corps to more quickly pump out the floodwaters inundating New Orleans.
Other presidents also have taken aim at the Corps' budget. President Carter's first veto came against a big water-projects bill passed by a Democratic-dominated Congress. And President Clinton squeezed the Corps budget as well.
"I fought every ... administration when they tried to use the Corps of Engineers as a piggy bank to pay for other projects," said former House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bob Livingston, R-La.

It'll be quite a night, as Venus moves into critical Virgo on that day and will bring an element of very detailed arguing, boding well for both candidates. For Mitt, he is a Pisces Sun, Gemini Rising, Mercury in Pisces and Mars in Pisces. Currently, he has Jupiter on his ascendant and the Venus transit complementing his vital planets for this debate, giving him a solid stance and ability to keep cool under pressure.
Meanwhile, President Obama -- a Leo with an Aquarius Rising, Mercury in Leo and Mars in Virgo -- will have the power of Venus behind him in terms of motivation and fanfare. He will know how to rile his audience behind him. So, both candidates have good aspects, but the one deciding planet is Mercury, which will be in airy Libra, trining both Obama and Romney's ascendants. This aspect will work much better with Obama's fiery signs rather than Romney's watery ones. All in all, it will be close, but Obama edges out Romney in cosmic luck and will likely be the winner in tonight's debate.
