Collegiate teacher wins statewide award
An economics class he took in college has resulted in long-term payoffs for Rob Wedge -- and for growing numbers of students at The Collegiate School as the well.
In 1996, as a history teacher at Winchester (Massachusetts) High School, Wedge was approached by the assistant principal, who was casting around for someone to take over his part-time teaching duties.
Noticing the economics class on Wedge's college transcript, and not wanting to turn over his economics class to someone who knew nothing about the subject, the administrator asked Wedge if he'd be willing to teach part-time while working on his master's degree at Boston University.
"Being a starving college student," recalls Wedge, "I happily took the job."
Before long, his Winchester students had won a local Fed Challenge competition, which led to a job at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. For the next several years, Wedge worked with The Fed and at the Massachusetts Council on Economic Education, developing and coordinating economic education programs.
But even though he was involved in educational pursuits, and his new jobs were more lucrative than his Winchester job, Wedge began to long for the classroom again.
"I really missed my first love – teaching," he says.
Part-time to full-time
So when Wedge got a call offering him a position with the E. Angus Powell Endowment for American Enterprise at The Collegiate School in Richmond -- and was told he could teach part-time – he didn't hesitate long. Married only a few months (after meeting his wife playing softball for the Fed) he took the offer and moved to Richmond in 2004, as soon as his wife found employment with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
Within a short time, his "part-time" teaching duties mushroomed into a full schedule.
"The year before I taught AP Economics at Collegiate, there were nine students enrolled in AP Econ," says Wedge. "[After I began teaching], one section became two sections.
"Two sections became three sections . . . and three full sections became five full sections in 2009." In addition, Wedge also assisted on two textbook revisions and field-tested Ethical Foundations in Economics.
In December, citing his passion for the subject and his success with teaching, the Virginia Council on Economic Education (VCEE) named Wedge the Commonwealth of Virginia's Economic Educator of the Year.
"His enthusiasm," officials said, "has resulted not only in an increased number of his students taking AP Economics, but [in] 95 percent of his students [earning] a 'passing' grade of three or higher.
"Students say that Rob shines outside the classroom, too," officials added, "by giving them the opportunity to participate in extracurricular learning experiences such as the Fed Challenge, Econ Challenge, and Euro Challenge."
Paychecks, with deductions
Wedge attributes much of the growth in popularity of his classes to the success his students have had in the Fed Challenge and other economic competitions. Not only have students won a number of local contests; many have also gone on to compete nationally.
As for the reasons for his students' success, Wedge says, "I'm a big believer in creative ways of presenting material." Among the assignments in his class are frequent presentations – even music videos [see link below] – illustrating concepts.
What's more, Wedge employs a unique and somewhat controversial grading system. He pays his students for the work that they do in class.
"It's complicated and there is some adult resistance to it on Collegiate's campus, but it really works," he says. "Each month they receive a paycheck with Social Security, Medicare, and federal and state income taxes deducted."
Wedge also works the payment system into the 'class participation' part of the grade, providing bonuses to a student who offers a unique explanation or asks a good question, and slapping additional taxes on a student who lags in participation or doesn't meet standards.
"So," Wedge says, "my grading system and the content of the course are embedded with each other."
World to its knees
Despite having developed unique ways to keep his students engaged, Wedge says it is a constant challenge to hold their attention and "keep things fresh."
"There are so many other things out there that capture their attention. [They are] engaged in a lot of non-academic things all the time," he says, pointing out that Collegiate students are also required to participate in two sports. "The battle for spots in their minds and schedules can be tough."
Another challenge he must overcome is the misconceptions that students often bring to the classroom. One reason that Wedge designed his grading system the way he did was to dispel some of those misconceptions, especially regarding taxes and the budget deficit.
"The grading system gets them to see that a lot of what they hear about taxes is off base," he says. "As for the budget deficit and national debt, they don't realize what the sources of the debt and deficit are, so their approaches to 'fixing it' often miss the mark, too."
Although Wedge does not think that his current students are any more informed or ignorant than those he taught more than a decade ago, he does believe that due to financial innovations, students have to know more in order to succeed. Economics education is more important than ever, he emphasizes, and he is grateful that Virginia now has an economics and personal finance requirement for graduation.
In the days before Collegiate's spring break, he recalls, one student in particular underscored that importance.
As Wedge was showing his students the film "Too Big to Fail," about the financial crisis of 2008, he took frequent breaks to explain certain sequences. During one such break, a student exclaimed, "Holy Cow, this is really complicated. It almost brought the world to its knees and I've never heard of half of this stuff.
"Your class is an elective class," the student pointed out to Wedge. "So when is everyone else supposed to learn about this stuff?"
Hearing such insightful comments and questions from his students, says Wedge, is just one of the things he finds satisfying about teaching.
"That question really stuck with me," says Wedge, "and will motivate me for the rest of this school year and beyond."
Among other rewards of teaching, he says, are the relationships he has built with students over the years – especially those who get involved in the extracurricular competitions. In some cases he has taken a chance on the students he selects to compete, but they have always risen to the occasion. Parents often thank him, he says, for giving their children the opportunity to compete with the best academically, as well as athletically or socially. "And that means a lot to me."
Wedge also enjoys the emails he receives from students who have graduated, asking about articles they are reading online or about something they are studying in college.
"I get these emails two, three, four years after they're out of my class," says Wedge.
"To me, that says that I did something that had some resonance with them for the rest of their lives."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry

Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

NY mostly ignored reports warning of superstormBy MICHAEL GORMLEY
THE Associated Press | December 09,2012AP FILE PHOTO
In this Oct. 30 photo, the South Ferry subway station in New York City is filled with seawater and debris from Superstorm Sandy.ALBANY, N.Y. More than three decades before Superstorm Sandy, a state law and a series of legislative reports began warning New York politicians to prepare for a storm of historic proportions, spelling out scenarios eerily similar to what actually happened: a towering storm surge. Overwhelming flooding. Swamped subway lines. Widespread power outages. The Rockaways peninsula was deemed among the most at risk.
But most of the warnings and a requirement in a 1978 law to create a regularly updated plan for the restoration of vital services after a storm went mostly unheeded, either because of tight budgets or the lack of political will to prepare for a hypothetical storm that may never hit.
Some of the thorniest problems after Sandy, including a gasoline shortage, the lack of temporary housing and the flooding of commuter tunnels, ended up being dealt with largely on the fly.
I dont know that anyone believed, acknowledged Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week. We had never seen a storm like this. So it is very hard to anticipate something that you have never experienced.
Asked how well prepared state officials were for Sandy, Cuomo said, not well enough.
It wasnt as if the legislative actions over the years were subtle. They all had a common, emphatic theme: Act immediately before its too late.
The 1978 executive law required a standing state Disaster Preparedness Commission to meet at least twice a year to create and update disaster plans. It mandated the state to address temporary housing needs after a disaster, create a detailed plan to restore services, maintain sewage treatment, prevent fires, assure generators sufficient to supply nursing homes and other health facilities, and protect and assure uninterrupted delivery of services, medicines, water, food, energy and fuel.
Reports in 2005, 2006 and 2010 added urgency. Its not a question of whether a strong hurricane will hit New York City, the 2006 Assembly report warned. Its just a question of when.
A 2010 task force report to the Legislature concluded: The combination of rising sea level, continuing climate change, and more development in high-risk areas has raised the level of New Yorks vulnerability to coast storms. ... The challenge is real, and sea level rise will progress regardless of New Yorks response.
The Disaster Preparedness Commission met twice a year some years, but there are gaps in which there is no record of a meeting. However, some administrations, including Cuomos, convened many of the same agency heads to discuss emergency management. But even under Cuomo, who has taken a much greater interest in emergency management after three violent storms in his first two years in office, there are still three vacancies on the commission.
Richard Brodsky, a former New York Democratic assemblyman who was chairman of the committee that created the 2006 report, credits administrations with making some improvements to the plan in recent years, such as requiring a specific plan to protect and evacuate the infirmed and to save pets.
But on two issues related to Sandy prevention and recovery they did almost nothing, Brodsky said. If Goldman Sachs was smart enough to sandbag its building, why wasnt the MTA smart enough to sandbag the Battery Tunnel?
Sandy flooded both tubes of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, now called the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, which was one of the major and longest transportation disruptions of the storm.
Among the other crises Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg faced on a daily basis during Sandy were the shortage of temporary housing, which continues, the long disruption of electricity and gasoline, generators in health care facilities swamped by floodwaters, restoring power from swamped electrical infrastructure and repairing commuter rail lines.
The warnings touched on many of these areas, but mostly in a broad way with few specific directions for action. Some areas, such as a shortage of shelters in New York City and repairing commuter rail lines quickly, have improved in recent years to some degree, but other areas such as making sure health facility generators are on upper floors are newly realized problems forced by Sandy, according to the former legislators.
What youve got here is a great number of consequences that were foreseeable, but unforeseen, Brodsky said Prevention is politically less sexy than disaster response.
There was another obstacle to enacting calls for more preparation: funding. The state and city were each facing $1 billion deficits from a slow economic recovery before Sandy hit.
As your budget shrinks, the first thing that goes out the door is emergency management, the first thing, said Michael Balboni, New Yorks disaster preparedness point man in the Republican-led Senate and in the Democratic Spitzer and Paterson administrations from 2001 to 2009.
To take the 1978 law and really enable it, you need to put a ton of money behind it and there was no political will to do it, said Balboni, now heads an emergency management firm in Manhattan.
Cuomo is now asking the federal government for more than $32 billion to cover the immediate costs triggered by Sandy, and another $9 billion for preventive measures to better protect the area for the next big storm.
The Cuomo administration insists that it has had robust emergency planning and clearly made important changes after tropical storms Irene and Lee slammed much of upstate and threw a scare into New York City in 2011. The administration created three regional disaster logistics centers and conducted training and exercises and before Sandy took extensive preparatory steps learned from Irene to preposition equipment and top staff and National Guard troops around the state.
These initiatives were intended to strengthen the existing emergency response infrastructure which had not previously been a priority for the state before Gov. Cuomo took office, the Cuomo administration told the AP in a statement.
Spokesmen for previous administrations and for Mayor Michael Bloomberg didnt respond to requests for comment.
Like the state, the city has talked up storm preparedness in a series of hurricane and climate change plans since 2000. And it has taken some concrete steps, such as requiring some new developments in flood zones to be elevated, eliminating roadblocks to putting boilers and electrical equipment above the ground and restoring wetlands as natural storm-surge barriers.
Still, the city wasnt expecting Sandy, Bloomberg said in a speech this past week. Emergency managers had figured there was only a 1 percent chance that the Battery in lower Manhattan would see the 14 feet of water Sandy sent in, he said; the previous record, set in 1960, was 11 feet.
Bloomberg said the city would reassess building codes and evacuation zone borders, look at ways to flood-proof power and transportation networks, make sure hospitals are better prepared and do an engineering analysis of whether to build levees, dunes or other structures to protect the coast.MORE IN Wire NewsOMAHA, Neb.

CANTON, MASS. — Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. reported sales growth of 5% while net income more than tripled in the third quarter behind an "asset-light, nearly 100% franchised model."
Net income in the third quarter ended Sept. 29 totaled $29,526,000, equal to 26c per share on the common stock, up from $7,412,000 in the previous year's third quarter. A $16.2 million increase in operating income and a $14.1 million decline in debt refinancing charges, offset by a corresponding increase in tax expense, drove net income growth. The company said adjusted net income was $42,118,000, which compared with adjusted net income of $31,343,000 in the previous year's third quarter.
Third-quarter revenues of $171,719,000 compared with $163,508,000 in the previous year's third quarter.
"The third quarter marked our fifth quarter as a public company and our fifth consecutive quarter with double-digit adjusted earnings-per-share growth," said Nigel Travis, chief executive officer of Canton-based Dunkin' Brands, when third-quarter results were given Oct. 25. "We continue to leverage our asset-light, nearly 100% franchised model to drive strong shareholder returns.
"With the exceptional growth of the Dunkin' Donuts brand over the past two years and our intense focus on franchisee profitability, our franchisees are seeing very strong unit economics and in turn are driving our robust restaurant expansion across the U.S."
For the entire fiscal year, Dunkin' Brands raised its range for adjusted earnings per share to $1.25 to $1.27, which compared with a previous range of $1.22 to $1.25 and fiscal year 2011 earnings per share of 94c. For fiscal year 2012, Dunkin' Brands expects revenue growth of 6% to 7% compared to previous expectations of 7% to 8%. The decline came as a result of a change in ice cream shipping terms related to the manufacturing shift to Dallas-based Dean Foods, which was announced in July.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. posted total revenues of $123,622,000, which marked a 6% increase from $116,866,000 in the previous year's third quarter, and segment profit of $91,122,000, up 2% from $88,992,000. Increased average ticket and higher traffic, which came despite a challenging consumer and competitive environment, drove Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth of 3%.
Dunkin' Donuts International in the third quarter had total revenues of $3,671,000, practically unchanged from $3,669,000 in the previous year's third quarter, and segment profit of $2,402,000, down from $2,496,000.
Baskin-Robbins U.S. in the third quarter had total revenues of $11,667,000, down 6% from $12,423,000, and segment profit of $8,069,000, up 13% from $7,140,000. Driving Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales growth of 1% were new Flavors of the Month, new signature cake merchandising and new beverage messaging around Flavors of the Month being available as milk shakes.
Baskin-Robbins International in the third quarter had total revenues of $29,657,000, up 7% from $27,670,000, and segment profit of $16,047,000, up 12% from $14,276,000.
System-wide, Dunkin' Brands franchisees and licensees globally opened 187 net new restaurants, including 78 net new Dunkin' Donuts U.S. locations, 74 net new Baskin-Robbins International locations, 36 net new Dunkin' Donuts international locations and one net closure for Baskin-Robbins U.S.
For the nine months ended Sept. 29, Dunkin' Brands recorded net income of $73,973,000, or 63c per share, which compared with $22,851,000 in the same time period of the previous year. Nine-month total revenues of $496,478,000 compared with $459,693,000 in the same time period of the previous year.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com writer: Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu front-runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year honor
When he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals back in April with the No. 69 overall pick in the NFL Draft, the buzz words surrounding Tyrann Mathieu was 'risk' and 'locker room cancer.'
Seven months later, there are new buzz words being echoed in reference to the former LSU standout.
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Although he doesn't have a final say in the matter, NFL.com writer Chris Wesseling believes heading into the final month of the regular season, the Cardinals safety has earned the right to be the leading candidate for the top honor awarded to defensive rookies.
In 12 games, Mathieu is second on the team in total tackles with 67 and also has two interceptions, five tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. But its his versatility and ability to play on all three downs that has impressed Wesseling most in the 2013.
What's amazing about Mathieu is that he's already one of the NFL's most versatile and well-rounded defensive backs, playing safety in base packages and switching to cornerback in nickel and dime packages. I haven't seen a single cornerback who can match the third-round rookie in run support or blitzing.
Mathieu has also shown a knack for big plays, punching the ball out of Jared Cook's hands on a would-be long touchdown and tackling Nate Burleson short of the sticks on a potential game-winning drive. The Honey Badger is a key chess piece in Todd Bowles' defense, which rivals Seattle's for the No. 1 spot in Football Outsiders metrics.
The last Cardinal to win Rookie of the Year honors was Simeon Rice back in 1996.

The Senate inquiry into the Queensland Government might be legitimate, but whether it is wise - or will be able to do its job - is another matter.
The question is whether or not the Senate committee has the power to compel state politicians and state public servants to give evidence to it or to require them to produce government documents.
If it does seek to compel evidence, and is supported by the Senate, it is likely that the Queensland Government would challenge its powers to do so and the matter would end up in the High Court.

Clive Palmer denies a wide-ranging Senate inquiry into the Queensland Government is about getting back at Premier Campbell Newman.
The Palmer United Party, Labor and the Greens have combined to set up the six-month select committee into the Newman administration.
The inquiry has broad terms of reference, including looking into the use of Commonwealth funds and development and environmental approvals, including for coal seam gas projects.
Mr Palmer denies Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney's claim that the mining magnate is still reeling from a state decision to reject his bid for a Galilee rail line.
"Mr Seeney is just a liar," Mr Palmer told the ABC this morning.

The Productivity Commission has recommended a substantial cut in Commonwealth funding for post-disaster re-builds. The Commission's draft report describes the current Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements as a 'disincentive for state and local governments to invest in mitigation and insurance'. The Commission calls for major reform and recommends reducing the Commonwealth's contribution for reconstruction works from 75 percent to 50 percent, with state governments to make up the difference. Queensland Local Government Minister David Crisafulli says the Commission has it 'drastically wrong'.

|Martin Luther King, Jr.
|Henry Ford
|Teddy Roosevelt
|William Rockefeller
|Cornelius Vanderbilt
Do you ever wonder what it is like to be closely related to a very famous person? I don't mean famous in the smaller sense, I mean famous as in being written about in history books and having documentaries and even movies made about you. Do you ever think about what it was like being the son or daughter of a Vanderbilt or Roosevelt or Rockefeller? What if you were related to Martin Luther King or Henry Ford or Bill Gates?
|Bill Gates
Let's say the famous person was your grandfather and he was an important part of your life for many years… in fact, he is still alive today and he is still an important part of your life. As you matured, you were able to get to know him as more than just a relative or a famous someone that others had heard about…you are able to spend time talking with your grandfather and learning more and more about him. Your grandfather shared things with you that have helped you navigate your life and you know deep in the deepest part of your heart how much you love him and how much you are loved by him. Even though he is extremely well known and famous, to you he is almost like your closest friend and you know that you are a very important part of his very large family. You are aware that his fame came with sacrifice to himself personally but, he was willing to do it because he knew that the people that came after him would benefit from what he did.
I often wonder how people that are related to very famous people talk about them when people inquire. If someone asked about your famous grandfather, would your first inclination be to recite the many things written about him in the history books? Would you describe his accomplishments and talk about what he has done? Or would you just tell them who your grandfather is to you and share what an incredible influence he has had on you and in your life? Would you talk about his nature and tell about the reasons that you love him so much. Would you describe what it is like to be a part of his family? I wonder. See, I think people that are closely related to famous people see them not necessarily as others see them…not the way the writers of history books and movies see them. They know them intimately.
I don't know about you but I don't have any famous people in my family. You won't read the name Toomey in any history books. The only "famous" Toomeys I know are/ were Regis Toomey (an actor), Bill Toomey (won the decathlon in the 1968 Olympics), and Pat Toomey (a politician in
Pennsylvania.) So the hypothetical question I have posed is not one that I have ever had to address.
But, you know what? I am related to a famous person, written about in history books, portrayed in movies and known the world over. His name is Jesus. And I am a part of His family.
When I talk to others about Jesus do I recite what has been written about Him in history books or do I tell people about the relationship I have and the incredible influence He has made in my life? Are you related to anyone famous?

American Hustle (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
David O. Russell's early Oscar favourite has a Blu-ray and DVD release date...
Starring: Christian Bale
Released: 18th March 2014
Further Details:
Sony sent over info today concerning the March release of their biggest Oscar hopeful,
American Hustle. David O. Russell's film will be hitting both Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet) and single disc DVD. There are no A/V specs, but the announcement does state that both the Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD will include The Making of American Hustle featurette and 20-plus minutes of deleted & extended scenes.
Quote: A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation, AMERICAN HUSTLE tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Patrick Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner), is a passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down.

RNIB chief executive criticises 'arrogance' of MPs who think charities must learn from private sector
21 Nov 2014
Lesley-Anne Alexander, chief executive of RNIB, yesterday said she had a "struggle with the arrogance"...

"Charities badly need the social investment market to get off the ground and at the moment that's incredibly difficult," said Anne-Marie Piper, charity partner at Farrer & Co, speaking at the Civil Society Question Time debate in Westminster yesterday.
She continued, "The legal structures are not really geared up for it and there a lot of problems that I and other charity lawyers would like to see addressed."
Piper added, "There are a lot of hard times out there at the moment" and "a lot of charities are finding themselves in difficulties, forced mergers, sadly insolvencies too, cutbacks, redundancy programmes – and there's no immediate sign that's going to change."
Piper was also underwhelmed by the recent consolidation of charity legislation via the Charities Act 2011: "Having legislation consolidated is always a good idea but there's an awful lot of paperwork generated as a result of it and at the moment charities need to be spending less money with lawyers rather than more."

jNews does exactly what a newsletter should do. It manages the subscriptions and help me send my messages very easily. Sending an article from my website to 1000 adresses takes less than 30 minutes. Saves a lot of time!
Yes, of course jNews has some problems (as all fast developping software...): on my sites, the licence sometimes doesn't work anymore. The Joobi support fixes it in a few minutes. Same for upgrade issues (plugins didn't upgrade, etc.), support is always very kind and helpful.
Anyway: a happy customer who recommends this component!
jNews Core (non-commerical) is ideal for providing essential functionality, whilst providing a good preview of our recommendation to upgrade to jNews Plus (for advanced templating features).
And best of all is that it simply upgrades "in-place" without having to uninstall-then-reinstall.
On the rare occasions we have issues/questions, their online support answers promptly and accurately... usually having the solution immediately ready.
The only negative comment that I have is a common one here... no notifications when updates are available.
Easily solved by a regular weekly check of the Joobi website.
Congratulations for the great component and very kind staff! =)
I have never seen a better support for a joomla component before!
They fixed my problem directly and very professional. I nearly was ashamed about the patience and the time it took.
If you are searching for a professional newsletter component for Joomla - take it! I do not use any other tool any more. The money is little for what you get. And the support is the best!
Thanks again especially to Cherryl - *****
Recently I changed the component: JNews. In addition, the server on which you loaded the site does not allow the use of crontab task. So use the service offered by JOOBI.
To configure the service and use of this component, I used the JOOBI's online support.
Online support was very helpful because in a few minutes with a step-by-step procedure, I managed to set up the service and send a newsletter.
I have to thank the support service because the person who assisted me in this operation has been very patient.
When I first installed the component i was having a hard time importing an existing list of subscribers. I contacted live support and they worked with me for over an hour on the issue! (Which was a directory permissions issue on my end). The fact that they even have live support is amazing. I highly recommend this component.
Had some tiny problems bit the great live support helped me out every time i needed them inspite off the time difference between us. Way to go guys

Previously, I've use AcaJoom, another similar product by Joobi. The good experience I had with that led me to jNews which seemed a slightly better fit for what we had in mind.
Without doubt, jNews is a great choice for sending newsletters and managing autoresponders, both from within your website.
Install is easy, configuration options are many and varied, plus there is lots of support help on the supplier website.
During the installation, I met a technical problem with a message asking me to contact the technical support. Joobi proposes a live tchat support 24h/24h. Cherryl took care of my problem. It was a problem with the configuration of my server but Cherryl found a solution. A few hours were necessary for the resolution of the problem.
Now all works perfectly, this component is very well made, practical, simple to understand.
I want to thank Cherryl who made of the great job ! This component is great and in case of problem the technical support is it also. Excuse my poor english.
I have been using this extention for a while now and have tested different other newsletter extensions. But this one was absolutely the best choice I have been tested.
This newsletter extension is great and well adapt into the webpage on both administrator and user pages. Lot of posibilites.
We had some problems with the extension, but in fact it was not a problem because the support respond to my support ticket quickly and got the problem solved very quickly. And that I like with support: Quick, positive and looking for solutions without starting any discussion. I feel it was worth the investment of this extension.
Continue this Great Work!
Thanks Joobi!!

I'm trying to build my band's website with Joomla, and chose JNews as our newsletter component after trying a few alternatives. I had difficulty installing the free version, proabably due to the file permission on my server, so I decided to check out the support pages. Although it was Christmas, I was able to contact a real person through "live chat" in a matter of seconds! He was very helpful and e-mailed me the solution in just a few minutes. I beleive this kind of fantastic support alone, makes jNews "the" newsletter component for Joomla.
The product is very easy to use and works out-of-the-box, but it gives great piece of mind to know that someone will actually help me, in case something goes wrong just before that "big gig"s newsletter is sent out :) Keep up the great work guys, thank you!
I choose JNews because it, in my opinion, is the best newsletter extension available today for Joomla!. The component itself worked flawlessly for me, but I had a problem with the Community Builder Integration and reported it to Diego.
Instead of dismissing this as admin error, he got personally involved in the matter and remained in contact with me until it was resolved.
What make this especially notable is that I was only using the FREE version of JNews. This is the kind of support all extension developers should provide.
When my needs expand to include the features of a paid version of JNews I will not hesitate to purchase.

|Related: OPRAH'S LIFECLASS, OWN
In the season premiere of the Emmy award-winning series "Oprah's Lifeclass," Oprah Winfrey and STEVE HARVEY have an eye-opening and inspirational conversation about the keys to success, airing Sunday, September 7 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
In front of a studio audience and viewers participating worldwide via social media, Oprah welcomes comedian and talk show host, Steve Harvey, to the 'Lifeclass' stage to share personal stories about how he lifted himself up from failure and paved the way to success.
Coming back with an all-new season of his nationally-syndicated "Steve Harvey Show" (September 8), the self-made man with a signature brand of humor, leaves the audience in stitches while doling out practical advice from his latest book, "Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success: Discovering Your Gift and The Way To Life's Riches." Lessons include: how to find your talents and gifts, let go of excuses, embrace fear and failure, and release what is preventing you from achieving your dreams.
All-new "Oprah's Lifeclass" episodes airing in September include: "Ask STEVE HARVEY Anything!" (September 14); "Oprah & Dr. Shefali: Confessions of Stressed Out Parents, An Intimate Look" (September 21) and "Oprah & Dr. Shefali: the Children Speak Out" (September 28).
Click here for a sneak peek of the episode
EXCERPT: Steve Harvey: Why Your Talent Isn't Always Your Gift
OPRAH: I thought it was very interesting because in the book you say there is your talent, but then there's your gift. And until you discover what your gift is, you are really aimlessly going through life. You're not really on purpose.
STEVE: No. See, your talent, you can be a good accountant. You can be a good lawyer. That could be your talent.
OPRAH: Yeah.
STEVE: But your gift, your gift is something. See, your talent will allow you to have a wonderful career. But this is what I've learned. Your career is what you paid for. Your career is what you paid for. Your calling is what you made. Your calling is tied directly to your gift. It's the only way.

Sixteen bombs struck Baghdad Tuesday, prompting a snap curfew and shocking a city still coming to grips with a deadly attack Sunday on a Catholic church.
Blasts killed more than 30 people in Baghdad on Tuesday, two days after more than 50 Christians were killed by Al Qaeda militants who stormed a church.
At least 58 people were left dead after Iraqi commandos stormed a Baghdad church attacked by Islamist militants.
At least 37 people were killed when Iraqi forces stormed a Baghdad church that was seized Sunday afternoon by Al Qaeda-linked gunmen.
The Imperial War Museum now includes a car destroyed in a Baghdad suicide bombing during the Iraq war alongside artifacts, symbolizing civilian death tolls and devastation of Iraqi history.
As an international conference noted this week, the world's biodiversity is threatened. Iraq is no exception – but before anything can be done, it needs Iraqis who understand the problems.
After the Wikileaks release of 400,000 documents on Iraq, Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn explained some of the new monitoring tools being considered.
Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein's right-hand man, has been sentenced to hang in a move some see as politically motivated – and thus one that could further delay a new government.
The 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index, released annually by Transparency International, shows northern Europe continues to be perceived as the world's least corrupt region, with six countries taking the top 10 spots. The island-state of Singapore climbed into first place this year with New Zealand and Denmark. The United States fell behind Chile and into 22nd place, marking the first time it failed to rank in the top 20. Russia ranked worst among global powers, falling from 146th place to 154th place, tied with Cambodia. Nearly three quarters of the 178 countries in the index were below five on a scale of 0 (high corruption) to 10 (low corruption). That means not just the following countries have a corruption problem.
Top Saddam Hussein aide Tariq Aziz, sentenced to hang Tuesday, was one of 55 people featured in the notorious decks of playing cards handed out to American forces when they invaded Iraq. The cards featured the most-wanted members of Sadaam's government. Aziz's sentencing warrants a look at where those aces and kings are today.
Tariq Aziz, one of Saddam Hussein's top officials, was sentenced for 'crimes against humanity' by Iraq's high tribunal.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, under scrutiny for torture implications in the Wikileaks Iraq dump, raised US concerns after he moved to put Iraqi Special Forces under his control.
But ordinary Iraqis didn't seem to immediately grasp that the 400,000 Wikileaks documents could provide details on the deaths of thousands of people.
In the largest document leak in US history, WikiLeaks has released more than 400,000 secret US documents about the Iraq war. As with the second-largest leak in US history – the 92,000 Afghan war documents released in July – much of the substance of the leaks has been reported already, but details are new. Click through the following slides to learn what the documents reveal.
Ad Melkert, the top UN official in Iraq, was unhurt after a roadside bomb following a meeting with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. An Iraqi policeman was killed in the blast.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is struggling to form a new Iraqi government, visited Iran today as part of a tour that highlights regional influence in Iraq.
While US troops have touted the progress made by Iraqi police in the past few years, the units themselves face daunting hurdles – including a 'trust gap' between them and residents.
In an interview with the Monitor, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says Iraq could announce a new coalition government next week.
A US official leading a trade delegation to Iraq encouraged American businesses not to wait to take advantage of Iraq's need for new infrastructure, despite ongoing security problems and corruption.
A popular anti-American cleric may have thrown his weight behind incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to retain his post, but Iraq's election deadlock hasn't been broken yet.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki got the backing of Iraq's main Shiite bloc today, leaving him within four seats of the majority needed to form a new government.
Some 600 looted Iraqi antiquities were found packed in a dozen boxes in what appears to be an embarrassing mistake, negligence – or both.
In the deadliest violence since the US formally ended its combat role in Iraq, 37 people were killed on Sunday in Baghdad and Fallujah.
Far from merely 'advising and assisting' Iraqi forces, as the Obama administration has described their new role, US troops are still needed to battle insurgents, as evidenced in three recent incidents in different parts of Iraq.
Two daughters of the Methboub family, which the Monitor has followed throughout the Iraq war, bring cheer amid a broken marriage and a son in jail.

Riley, a teen orphan boy living in Victorian London, has had the misfortune of being apprenticed to Albert Garrick, an illusionist who has fallen on difficult times and now uses his unique conjuring skills to gain access to victims' dwellings. On one such escapade, Garrick brings his reluctant apprentice along and urges him to commit his first killing. Riley is saved from having to commit the grisly act when the intended victim turns out to be a scientist from the future, part of the FBI's Witness Anonymous Relocation Program (WARP) Riley is unwittingly transported via wormhole to modern day London, followed closely by Garrick.
In modern London, Riley is helped by Chevron Savano, a nineteen-year-old FBI agent sent to London as punishment after a disastrous undercover, anti-terrorist operation in Los Angeles. Together Riley and Chevie must evade Garrick, who has been fundamentally altered by his trip through the wormhole. Garrick is now not only evil, but he also possesses all of the scientist's knowledge. He is determined to track Riley down and use the timekey in Chevie's possession to make his way back to Victorian London where he can literally change the world.
Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) is a former elementary school teacher whose Artemis Fowl series has become an international bestseller. He is also the author of The Wish List, and the New York Times bestseller The Supernaturalist. He lives in Ireland with his wife and two children.

A Blogging Intermission
I walked around the outside of our home a few minutes ago to observe the Christmas decorations and lights we worked on this weekend in preparation for the Holiday Season. As always at this time of year James makes our Victorian home feel like a Currier and Ives lithograph. Knowing I was going to be outside for just a couple minutes I did not wear a jacket which only made coming back into the glow of the lights, the warmth of home, and scent of dinner in the oven even more welcoming. On the seat of a rocker is The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin I started this afternoon. With a light covering of snow outside and the season taking hold inside makes it easy for the following announcement.
It is never too early to get into the mood for making cookies and planning time with friends and family as the weeks ahead move very quickly. Therefore until shortly after the start of 2015 I am taking a few week's respite from the daily blogging that has been underway since July 2013 when I came back after writing my book.
While I will from time to time comment on news events briefly on my Caffeinated Politics Facebook page real blogging on this site is taking a holiday break. Happy Holidays and see you in the New Year!
Saturday Night At The Grand Ole Opry With Carson Peters And Ricky Skaggs
There are those times when all is right with the world. Such was the case again last weekend when James and I had time to be with great friends. Add in the mix twin boys who love to eat new foods and explore the ever-widening world around them and it was a real special afternoon.
It does a person good to slow way down and attempt to see the wonder of the world as viewed from the eyes of those who are just starting to figure out all that exists around them. Across the street from where we sat a large blondish-colored dog ran about and held the eyes of the youngsters. As soon as it came into view their eyes turned and watched keenly.
When a vacuum cleaner started in another room of their home a look of uncertainty came over their face and almost the first signs of a cry was about to start. But with a quick song from my lips and a couple high lifts in the air with Leopold it was soon made clear there was nothing to worry about.
My Mom always sang and hummed when she vacuumed, even in her 7th decade. As the story goes it all started when her children were young and as the housework needed to done she found that singing and making it all seem like fun calmed anyone who might be frightened by the noise.
For the longest time both boys were absolutely content to be held and rocked about. The favorite play toy for a time was the sticky "I Voted" sticker from the recent election which I had not removed from my jacket. One would pull it off–I would press it back on–and little fingers would work again to remove it—only to have it replaced. The sticky nature of it as it tugged on their fingers seemed so impressive to them.
While other babies always seem eager to touch and smear eye-glasses I never once had to deal with that as they both seemed far more interested in the blue buttons on my sweater.
The world remains with far more questions than answers at my age. As it does for all of us. So it is just remarkable to sit and watch young minds start to explore and begin the process of figuring out the things we can get a handle on in this world.
Like colored buttons are more fun than the plain ones.
A moment America can be proud of for inclusion. I am most pleased with this development and have faith that these are the types of building stones that lead to unity and better understanding among all people.
Prayer carpets were laid out under the soaring arches of the Washington National Cathedral early Friday for an unprecedented Muslim worship service in one of the best known churches in the United States.
Reverend Gina Campbell welcomed worshippers, declaring the Washington National Cathedral "a place of prayer for all people."
"Let us stretch our hearts and let us seek to deepen mercy for we worship the same God," she told the men and women sitting separately in rows, on the floor before her.
In the sermon, or Khutba, Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool praised religious freedom in America and lashed out against extremism, specifically mentioning Islamic militants who have slaughtered Christians in the Middle East.
"If we do not stop them at the monasteries, they will make their way to the mosques," he said.
Church leaders and their Muslim partners say they hope the Friday Jumaa prayers will send a message of interfaith brotherhood that counters extremists' use of religion to justify hatred and strife.
One has to ask if this gives Madison's Brenda Konkel any ideas?
In his latest bid to ease the suffering of the poor — and upend the expectations of the papacy — Pope Francis plans to build showers for the homeless under the sweeping white colonnade of St. Peter's Square.
Three showers are to be built into refurbished public restrooms provided for Catholic pilgrims along the marble columns leading into the historic basilica, which was completed in 1626.
The Vatican's deputy spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini, said Thursday (Nov. 13) that the project was a joint initiative of the pope and Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, the papal almoner who distributes charity on the pope's behalf. Construction is due to begin next week (Nov. 17).
It's an unconventional move, even for a pope who constantly preaches that more should be done to help the poor. It also could rankle traditionalists as the homeless line up to wash beneath the extravagant apostolic apartments that Francis shunned after his election.
Former Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne Dies At Age 81
I was a teenager and loved listening to Chicago talk radio. So it comes probably as no surprise that Jane Byrne caught my attention back in central Wisconsin where the news of her bid for mayor made for lots of excitement in the mind of a guy hoping to break free from the rural area and experience the energy of a big city.
In many ways Jane Byrne held for me the power of politics and urban drama all in one person. She fascinated me.
Her death today is sad to hear about, but the life she lived and the joy she produced for others will not be forgotten.
George Will–"2003 Invasion Of Iraq The Worst Foreign Policy Decision In U.S. History"
I do like to read George Will because he is smart. I do not always agree with him but I always know he writes from an educated point of view.
What he wrote this week is surely a must read for Washington policy-makers.
The last 11 years have been filled with hard learning. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, the worst foreign policy decision in U.S. history, coincided with mission creep ("nation building") in Afghanistan. Both strengthened what can be called the Republicans' John Quincy Adams faction: America "goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."
Now, however, Americans generally, but Republicans especially, are thinking afresh about the world. Henry Kissinger's new book, "World Order," deftly diagnoses America's bipolar mental condition regarding foreign policy, a condition that is perennial because it is congenital. "The conviction that American principles are universal," Kissinger says, "has introduced a challenging element into the international system because it implies that governments not practicing them are less than fully legitimate." This "suggests that a significant portion of the world lives under a kind of unsatisfactory, probationary arrangement, and will one day be redeemed; in the meantime, their relations with the world's strongest power must have some latent adversarial element to them."

It's time again for "Dear Wendy Updates," a feature where people I've given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they're doing today. After the jump, we hear from "Low Confidence" who had just started online dating after getting her weight under control. With very minimal dating experience at all, she got a little freaked out when her first potential online match flaked and disappeared after she asked him out. "I was really starting to like the guy, as much as you can like someone you've never met, so it's a bit disappointing that when I finally thought I might get to meet a nice guy, it doesn't seem to have worked out. I decided to get back on the horse and have begun communication with two other guys, but I'm worried the same thing will happen again." After the jump, find out if she indeed got back on the horse and how things are going for her today. Keep reading »

Taylor Bennett - Taylor Bennett Freestyle
Artist: Taylor Bennett
Producer: Saint The Goodboy
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 votes )
Last month, we introduced our readers to Chicago native Taylor Bennett with his Brother Man freestyle. Shortly after the feature went live on our homepage, several of Bennett's fans and a handful of our own staff members suggested that we invite the unsigned emcee to participate in our newly-restarted DJBooth Freestyle Series. Less than 24 hours later, Bennett agreed to participate and he slid us a freebie to share with his growing fanbase and our loyal visitors. Produced by Saint The Goodboy, the self-titled freestyle showcases his whimsical, free association approach and sharp, slightly-spastic delivery. Readers who draw a comparison between Taylor and buzzing star-to-be Chance the Rapper should know that while the two are brothers by blood, the younger Bennett can stand on his own two just fine. Down in Austin for SXSW this week? TB is playing the House of Aura showcase on March 14, with Casey Veggies. If not, keep it locked to the Booth for Bennett's exclusive freestyle entry and information on his upcoming sophomore mixtape, Mainstream Music.
