Seb1780 (12th February 2014)
Virtually all SLG sites come to us directly and there are a lot of them! It's also nothing like the price quoted earlier in this forum. I also think it looks great!
You really do surprise me sometimes Phil...
Interesting to hear about prices, is that even direct schools? Interesting to know too you deal mostly direct.
Do you have advice for the chap here looking for development support?
We are a SLG school and as I have posted in other threads - it works well and we (IT staff) and parents love it. I must admit, off the top of my head I don't remember costs as we purchased 5 years or so ago, but I don't think it was anything as expensive as I have seen quoted.
All of our teachers up until September 2013 used SLG as their main portal for Attendance, behaviour, Profile reports access to student / staff information other than key in our admin. Training was minimum for staff and quite often we put together step by step click here guides which were more than acceptable.
A lot of people dislike Sharepoint due to the clunkiness, we have rebranded ours with our own content and school colours and although I would agree it still has a look and feel to Sharepoint, it certainly is not as bland as an out of the box share point install.
I run and manage our SLG install and have had no formal SLG or Sharepoint training everything has been self taught, I install the updates generally prior to a SIMS update again with little or no fuss. Whether I would recommend it to another school, I would have my reservations and it certainly could be a full time role in managing and skinning the install.
We were quoted around £10,000 a few years ago. So yes the quoted price is about right.
I'm loathed to pay Capita any more money after having to fork out £9,000+ just to keep using SIMS after converting to an academy.
Talk about private sector being propped up by the public sector!
The difficulty of doing upgrades was one of the (many) reasons we got rid of SLG. Now we have TASC insight its 1 click to upgrade and it done in 30 seconds. Its so refreshing
We also have TASC and it is really easy to upgrade and they constantly issue patches and add new features whenever a school asks for them.
Another TASC happy customer here too and completely agree about patches and upgrades.
Speaking to someone at Capita yesterday, the idea that this App would be available without SLG seemed to be more of a 'yes, soon' than a 'oh, people at BETT don't like it being with SLG, let's think about it'. So here's hoping it will be available SLG-less say by Summer? (Or, knowing Capita, sometime in September?)
I wouldn't believe the hype.
At BETT no one I spoke to knew anything about those plans.
It would be an amazing turn around to have it ready for summer.
I'd like to hear from SLG schools that take it on. I'm interested in the security side of things.
We've recently had a quote in for SLG, these prices are less than two months old:
Self hosted - Including initial cost for licence, Implementation,"Annual Entitlement" Portal personalisation - £10,500 first year , £1100 for Annual Entitlement each following year - Total for 3 Years £12700
Capita Hosted - First year cost £6900, £4200 for licence each following year - Total cost for 3 years £15250
Odd, when you first contact Capita, the only cost mentioned is the licensing. Makes it sound really good value until the actual quote comes in. The app is now dangled as a sweetener for the whole thing, no details of when it would be ready.
The thing that got us was the install costs, and then any overage if things went wrong, at £600-1000 per day. Very quickly adds up, especially when it's via remote session and our internet is sucky.
For those few of us who have been reading this thread and head scratching at SLG it's: Sims Learning Gateway! I've seen no direct mention of Bromcom's Teachers Web Folder in this thread either. We have tried the latter but only about 2 of our staff ever seemed to use it so hard to justify the cost.
GREED (16th February 2014)
When you're paying £10k for installation costs, you can see why going via the LA makes sense. Bet they didn't even send you some chocolates on valentines day!

Linux Application Development
Author: Michael K. Johnson & Erik W. Troan
Publisher: Addison Wesley
Price: $45.95 US
Reviewer: Andrew Johnson
Linux Application Development is a solid introduction to Linux programming. It does not attempt to teach programming or C, but serves as a topical reference for experienced C programmers to become familiar with the Linux programming model.
The book is divided into four major parts. Part One, "Getting Started", contains three short chapters covering the history of Linux, licenses and copyright issues, and the availability and locations of Linux documentation, mailing lists and other books and sources of information.
Part Two provides an introduction to the Linux development environment and tools. Some of the coverage is minimal; for example, the section on the GNU debugger, gdb, contains only a short list of the essential debugger commands and references to two other books which offer tutorials on the debugger. More extended coverage is given to memory debugging tools. This includes source examples and information about creating and using libraries. There is also brief but important coverage of make, the gcc compiler and its options, system calls and common error codes.
The twelve chapters of Part Three, "System Programming", comprise the bulk of the book. These chapters, as elsewhere, are heavily subdivided into subsections, which I found a little distracting on first reading, but quite convenient for relocating information later.
The authors give an excellent balance of breadth and depth of coverage, with chapters focusing on processes, simple and advanced file handling, directory operations, signals, job control, terminal handling, socket programming, dates and timing, random numbers and console programming. Virtually all of these topics are augmented with small source code examples.
A larger example program, ladsh, is a simplified UNIX command shell which is developed over the course of several chapters and eventually supports simple built-in commands, command execution, I/O redirection and job control. The final version of this program is 710 lines of code, and working through its development provides a good exercise in tying together some of the basic elements of Linux system programming.
Part Four describes a few important development libraries such as the S-Lang terminal library, the Berkeley database library and the popt option parsing library. This section also provides brief discussions of regular expressions, dynamic loading with dl, and the names and user databases.
Finally, three appendices cover direct I/O port access, the final source version of the ladsh program and the GNU licenses.
Overall, the book is well-organized and the writing and explanations are clear and concise. Although designed explicitly as a reference for experienced C programmers making the switch to Linux, I would recommend it as a good additional resource for anyone just beginning to learn C in a Linux environment.
Andrew Johnson is currently a full-time student working on a Ph.D. in physical anthropology and a part-time programmer and technical writer. He resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba with his wife and two sons and enjoys a good, dark ale whenever he can. He can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Vanity Fair Oscar Party: Katie Holmes
by Fashion 26 Reactions 2 Shares Print
Tom and Katie didn't make it to the Oscars Red Carpet, but they were in full effect at the Vanity Fair after party. Katie is rocking the strapless theme in this Armani gold-hued gown. I think this dress is gorgeous and matches her skin well without washing her out. What do you guys think?
Katie Holmes

She looks okay - nothing spectacular, however SHE didn't do any favour to the dress - the way the rest looks....lol
5 years
She doesnt do this dress justice and I dont think the dress would do anyone justice, How did she get this far? terrible posture, Looks like some skinny girl trying on a $3.00 dress at the salvation army
rubialala 7 years
She is totally glowing and I love everything but the top of the dress. I wish the dress was a different color and with straps or something, Katie is too flat chested for strapless. But the bottom is all flowy.
mommie 7 years
Not sure, I like the color but she doesn't look that happy.
Ksenya 7 years
She was very nice...her smile & eyes... but not this dress!
Veronica81 7 years
I agree with everyone who mentioned her horrible posture. You are wearing a dress that costs more that I make in a year, and you can't stand up straight and show your teeth when you smile? I also hate the hair. WAY too uptight and stuffy.
cameo1 7 years
I just get stuck on how much her face has morphed over the past year. She looks pretty in a very conventional way, whereas there used to be something unique about her look. ah well. At least some things never change, she's still slumping.
ashleycakes 7 years
She looked much better when her hair was down later in the evening. I was trying to figure out why she looks so good here, and I realized that her tiny bangs have grown back out! _________________________ Cheese It!!
the-makeup-blogette 7 years
she looks waaaay much better w/o tom cruise next to her
kscincotta 7 years
I voted Hate It, but I don't actually hate the dress. I just hate it on her since she can't stand up straight. The front looks bunched, which together with the unnecessary shawl combined to make the front a jumbled mess. And I hate the hair clips, they don't go with this dress at all.
Marci 7 years
She looks great. Except for the hair thing.
lesocialite 7 years
pretty. but needs a color.
la_clique 7 years
BLAH. I think the dress would have been lovely in a COLOR.
amyfinke 7 years
love everything but the hair ornament
Wicked 7 years
I don't like it. There's too many layers fixated in the front
Emshaw 7 years
Why does she always look soooo uncomfortable. She is beautiful but not in this.
mar 7 years
sofi 7 years
definitely her posture DarlingDA. I do like the dress and with a little of confidence (hard next Mr. Napoleon-complex) she would have looked good. the hair was a little too 'tight'and her makeup looked caked on. Posh was supposed to style Mr and Mrs here- at least she made him cut his hair.
DarlingDA 7 years
She stands very strangely - her dresses always seem to be slightly ill-fitting, but I think it is her posture. Also, I hate that clip in her hair - it doesn't match, and it's too big!
zeldaf 7 years
Meh. I usually love a monochrome look but on any given day she threatens to drown in a sea of her own unrelenting blandness so I don't think she can pull this off.
redegg 7 years
Beautiful, but the hair is a little bridesmaid-y to me for some reason. Overall this would have looked better at at Maui wedding.
DCStar 7 years
Absolutely exquisite. She glows.
SaRaH-22 7 years
no quietriott...Tom was there, he was a presenter! But I do love this dress on her..Beautiful!

BILLINGS - It's been a steady day at the polls, but there's another big race going on outside of the polling places.
While many residents are gearing up to cast their votes inside, another battle is going on outside the polls. That's the battle to see which ballot measure can gather enough signatures to qualify for a spot on Montana's November ballot.
At polling places, voters are inundated with people seeking their signatures as they leave the polling place.
This year, you'll have the opportunity to sign a number of proposed ballot measures.
Heading that list is a constitutional change that would define a person at the moment of conception -
to one that would limit fees on payday loans. Other proposed ballot issues include Initiative 160 that would prohibit trapping animals on public land, while Intative161 that seeks to change how hunter access programs are funded in Montana.
A proposed ballot measure needs more than 24,000 qualified signatures to secure a spot on the November ballot. Constitutional initiatives need more than 48,000 signatures to make the ballot.

What else is one supposed to think when the Associated Press offers up such click bait, "Israeli ex-pats' Nobel win highlights brain drain"? Success only found outside of Israel! Exodus
Ireland Israel! Yes, Israel is dying:
In its early years, Israel built a half-dozen top-flight universities that have become among the world's finest. Israeli academics, for instance, have won six Nobel prizes in chemistry and economics in the past decade alone.
But the country's higher education system has fallen onto hard times. In its latest survey of the world's top universities, Times Higher Education, a British publication, lowered the rankings of leading Israeli institutions. The Hebrew University fell to 191 from 137 last year, Tel Aviv University fell to 199 from 158, and the Technion, Israel's top technological university, fell out of the top 200.
The country's infectious entrepreneurial spirit was nurtured by generous government backing of R&D in the 1990s to create a hi-tech boom that earned it the nickname "startup nation." The military proved to be a fertile training ground for promising engineers, and a million immigrants from the former Soviet Union over the past two decades gave a sharp boost to science and technology. Numerous breakthroughs were pioneered in Israel, such as Wi-Fi technology, the computer firewall and instant messaging.
Emphasis added. Oh yeah, one million immigrants from just one country might have a thing or two to do with innovation. That said, Israel really needs greater density and world class urban amenities so talent won't have to look elsewhere. Nobel-winning expats Arieh Warshel and Michael Levitt are proof.
Levitt left Israel in the 1980s, before the tech boom of the '90s. Suffice to say, he was pushed out:
"I can't say I moved [to Stanford] because the conditions in Israel were not satisfactory," Levitt told Israel Army Radio. "In all honesty, to this day I can't quite say why I left the country, my connection to it being very strong. […] My wife is Israeli, I have two sons living in Israel."
Ouch. Little wonder why brain drain is such a huge problem in Israel. Regarding Warshel, he bolted for the United States in the late 1970s. As a place, Israel is failing:
"The primary reason I left [the Weitzmann Institute] was the difficulties I had in progressing [there]," said Warshel, interviewed Wednesday on Channel 2. "I didn't leave by choice, so I am not a good example for the 'brain drain' issue," he added.
Double ouch. Not much has changed in Israel over the last 25-30 years. Noted above, one million Russians showed up and lived on the dole. Earlier this month, Richard Florida revisited the sorry state of creativity:
By combining all three of these measures, we end up with an overall Global Technology Index, a broad assessment of the technological and innovative capabilities of the world's leading nations. The United States ranks third. Finland takes the top spot, followed by Japan. Israel's fourth place finish may come as a surprise to some. But as Dan Senor and Saul Singer argue in Start-up Nation, Israel has relentlessly pursued an economic development strategy based on launching innovative firms. Israel has the highest concentration of engineers in the world—135 per 10,000 people, compared to 85 per 10,000 people in the United States. Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Korea, Germany, and Singapore round out the top ten.
Emphasis added. Awarding the Nobel Prize to Warshel and Levitt was a cheap shot, rubbing salt in Israel's open wound. It might also serve as a wake up call. Perhaps internships and a streetcar would help? Take it from Dan Gilbert and Detroit, that's all Israel has to do to avoid Bob Simon calling it the next Somalia.

Cabrio Lounge Chair
by Loll
The Cabrio Lounge Chair was a concept chair that, as hard as we tried, we just couldn't keep in the garage. With absolutely no acceleration, the Cabrio will bring you from 60 to 0 in less than 4 seconds. The Cabrio sits low to the ground so an ottoman is unnecessary and would only keep your feet off the grass. The wide arms work well to hold a magazine and your favorite beverage and with no stick to shift, your hands are free to handle both. And if all this wasn't enough, the recycled material helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil. 100% relaxation, 100% of the time.
100 post-consumer recycled plastic, reclaimed from plastic milk jugs. High-grade stainless steel fasteners.
Overall: 25.75" h x 30.25" w x 29.75" d
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONLoll furniture is fabricated in a facility designed to reduce its impact on the local environment. The plastic used in Loll furniture is 100 post-consumer recycled plastic, reclaimed from plastic milk jugs.

Product Q&AWhat is Loll Furniture made out of?
For the most part Loll Designs products are made from 100% recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which is the same material as the #2 recyclable plastics (i.e. milk jugs, etc) that you take out to curb every week (or at least should be). Loll uses Richlite as a tabletop material, a unique environmentally-friendly wood fiber composite that is made for outdoor applications.
Will my Loll Furniture fade or need to be painted or stained?
NO! The HDPE that Loll uses will not fade or change color. The natural color Richlite material we use for our table tops will patina over time but will still look good. You will never have to paint or stain Loll Furniture.
What kind of maintenance will I have to do to keep my Loll Furniture looking good?
NONE! Leave it out year round, hose it off with a garden hose in the spring and enjoy. It's that easy. Loll Furniture will not, fade, warp, rot, require paint or stain or any on going maintenance to keep its beautiful appearance so you can spend more time relaxing.
What does the plastic feel like?
The plastic we use has a texture very closely resembling an orange peel.
Is it safe to use/keep my Loll furniture by a fire pit?
Yes! Just don't throw it in the fire. The melting point of the poly used in our furniture is 275 degrees F - which means if you do have a problem with melting, you've got bigger problems to worry about first, like the fact that your legs are on fire.

text: My wife and I were very excited to find your store in London on our way to Bird of Farringdon, so we decided to come the next day and try your Bratwurst. Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut for me and Bratwurst with chips for my wife, and of course a Hefeweizen for me. There was obviously somebody 'German' behind the counter, another male and a female staff if I remember this right. Between them, they had huge discussions what is for whom and I think we were lucky that we got what we ordered. It was by no means busy at the time, but it was already a challenge to get the Sauerkraut out of the pot. Must have been the first day for this guy – and he never handled food before in his life. Since I am living in a country without pigs and alcohol, I am keen to 'top up' when I have the chance. I am myself a master butcher, I was excited and expecting a 'proper' sausage. But no – it was nothing special, it was very dry on one side, must have been on this hot plate for god knows how long, not black on this side, but certainly dark brown for about 2mm. It certainly was not prepared fresh in front of you as it does say on your website, you could see it, yes, but it did not say for how long it was there. The Sauerkraut was good, but little and the Hefeweizen was as it should be. My wife was eating just one mouth full of the sausage and gave it to me, just eating the chips, me then having to eat basically 2 half-dried sausages – it was not enjoyable at all. You got a prime spot there to serve a good German sausage in the middle of the British meat trading area in London – but this is certainly not an advertisement for German quality sausages. Not much need for us to come back in a rush either. this was sent to Kurz & Lang a week ago, needles to say that there was no answer, show you how they care about customers.

Around-the-world cruisers are a hardy lot, and so far they don't seem bothered by the pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden -- a waterway found on nearly every around-the-world itinerary.
But for those who do worry, there's a new globe-circling option for 2010 from Regent Seven Seas Cruises that skips the troubled region entirely.
Regent says the 700-passenger Seven Seas Voyager will sail a 119-day world cruise in 2010 that substitutes a long passage around the southern tip of Africa for the traditional passage from Asia to Europe through the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and Suez Canal.
RELATED ITEM: Travel agents say cruisers unfazed by pirate attacks
RELATED ITEM: Pirate threat prompts another cruise ship evacution
The four-month odyssey will begin Jan. 14, 2010 in San Diego and end on May 12, 2010 in Fort Lauderdale.
Regent spokesman Andrew Poulton says the decision to bypass the Gulf of Aden and Suez Canal in favor of a trip around the southern tip of Africa was made long before the recent pirate attack on the Oceania Nautica. Oceania and Regent are sister lines owned by the same company.
"We have transited the Gulf of Aden/Suez for the last couple of World Cruises, so we were mixing it up a little," Poulton tells USA TODAY. "Our World Cruise guests are always looking for variety, and we are now going to be offering them West Africa for the first time."
Indeed, while Regent ships have sailed around Africa's Cape of Good Hope before, the coming voyage will be the first that includes stops in West African destinations such as Benin, Togo, Ghana and Gambia.
Regent isn't the only line skipping the Gulf of Aden on an upcoming world cruise. Holland America, too, recently said it would bypass the troubled area in 2010. Like Regent, Holland America says the decision was unrelated to recent pirate attacks.
Regent's 2010 World Cruise can be purchased in its entirety or in five shorter segments:
-- San Diego to Sydney, Australia, Jan. 14-Feb. 6. The 23-night segment includes a crossing of the Pacific Ocean to the Marquesas Islands, Samoa, Fiji, and New Caledonia.
-- Sydney to Singapore, Feb. 6-25. The 19-night segment visits Eastern and Northern Australia, and Komodo, Bali and Semarang in Indonesia.
RELATED ITEM:More pirate attacks on cruise ships to come, says expert
RELATED ITEM:Passengers describe 'pop, pop, pop' of gunfire during pirate attack
-- Singapore to Hong Kond, Feb. 25-March 11. The 14-night segment includes stops in Brunei, the Philippines, and Shanghai and Xiamen in China.
-- Hong Kong to Cape Town, March 11-April 15. The 35-night sgement heads to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, across the Indian Ocean to the Maldives, the Seychelles, Kenya, Zanzibar, and Richards Bay and Durban in South Africa.
-- Cape Town to Fort Lauderdale, April 15-May 12. The 28-night segment includes calls in Namibia, Benin, Togo, Ghana, the Gambia and Cape Verde Islands in West Africa before the ship crosses the Atlantic Ocean to Barbados, Antigua, Tortola and the Turks and Caicos.
Passengers wishing to truly circumnavigate the globe can purchase a 16-night pre-World Cruise voyage through the Caribbean and Panama Canal departing Dec. 28, 2009 from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, creating a 135-night roundtrip voyage from Fort Lauderdale.
Reservations for the 2010 World Cruise will open to the public on Jan. 2, 2009. Per-person pricing starts at $69,995.
Cruise Loggers, what do you think of Regent's plans for 2010?

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Investigation Of Hyperdynamics Corporation
NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Hyperdynamics Corporation ("Hyperdynamics" or the "Company") (NYSE: HDY).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO )
Hyperdynamics is an oil and gas exploration company operating in the Gulf of Guinea. On March 25, 2011, Hyperdynamics announced the public offering of 25,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock priced at $5.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $144,000,000. On July 8, 2011, Hyperdynamics announced that the Company would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on or around July 11, 2011. Hyperdynamics' president and CEO Ray Leonard stated that the move was planned so as "to build shareholder value for the long term."On September 7, 2011, CEO Ray Leonard made a series of optimistic statements regarding the Company's future prospects. Moreover, he elaborated on an earlier statement that "this will not end well for the short-sellers" by claiming that "short-sellers, to some extent, are betting against success of the Company. We are very confident in our program and in the prospectivity of this acreage. I guess you can put two and two together on that." In addition, the CEO acknowledged that there had been substantial insider buying in the $1 range, but that this had effectively ceased once the stock price had reached $4. After hours on November 8, 2011, Hyperdynamics disclosed that its Q3 2011 net loss had increased to $4.38M, 52% above the prior year's losses, for a quarterly EPS of - $0.03. This exceeded analysts' expectations of a Q3 loss of - $0.02 EPS. Between market close on November 8, 2011 and market close on November 9, 2011, Hyperdynamics' share price fell by $1.33, or almost 25%, to $4.06. On December 14, 2011, Hyperdynamics announced drilling delays on the Company's Sabu-1 well. The Company's share price closed at $2.16 on December 14, 2011 from opening at $3.07 on December 13, 2011 – a drop of almost 30%. Then, on January 30, 2012, the Company announced that it would raise $30 Million in a Registered Direct Offering. On this news, the Company's share price plunged by almost 23%. On February 15, 2012, Hyperdynamics issued a press release announcing that the Company "Encounters Oil Shows in Sabu-1 Well Offshore Guinea-Conakry." The announcement disclosed that "the indicated oil saturation appears to be residual, suggesting that larger volumes of oil formerly were present in the reservoirs but subsequently leaked out or that these rocks lay on a hydrocarbon migration pathway." The Company's share price dropped almost 8% on intraday trading – before the disclosure – and plummeted by over 30% after hours. The Company is now trading at around $1.38, compared to $5.39 as recently as November 8, 2011.

Federal Current Priority
National Organizations Sponsor Congressional Call-In WeekThe National Alliance to End Homelessness, Mercer Alliance have teamed up with its national partners in the Campaign for Housing and Community Development Funding (CHCDF) and are asking their to call their Members of Congress to ask for as much funding as possible for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including an INCREASE to HUD's McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants.
The House and Senate have both released their fiscal year (FY) 2012 funding bills in recent weeks, which include proposed funding levels for HUD's low-income housing and homelessness programs. Their proposals included almost no additional funding for low-income housing and homelessness programs and flat funding for HUD's McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants.
The House and Senate Appropriations Committees are now expected to work in conference over the coming weeks to reconcile differences in the two bills and come to an agreement on compromise funding levels for HUD and other programs before final legislation is passed. This could be the last chance for advocates to reach out to their Members and impact the final funding levels for FY 2012.
The call-in week aims to convince Members of Congress to provide as much funding for HUD as possible. We urge you to call all your Members of Congress next week and ask them to provide as much funding for HUD as possible so that McKinney-Vento programs receive a much-needed increase.
What You Can Do:
Congressional office phone numbers can be found by calling the congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Senate Committee Flat Funds McKinney, Recommends New VASH, Homeless Demonstration FundingLast week, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved its fiscal year (FY) 2012 funding bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The legislation included:
Earlier this month, the House HUD Appropriations Subcommittee also recommended providing funding for new HUD-VASH vouchers but did not provide an increase in funding for HUD's McKinney-Vento program.
What You Can Do:
Your input is needed on HHS Funding billThe Senate Appropriations Committee also approved its FY 2012 funding bill for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) last week. The legislation included approximately:
The Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended funding a demonstration project to improve coordination among housing and services resources. The Committee's draft legislation would provide $5 million within HUD for payments to public housing authorities (PHAs) that partner with state and local agencies providing TANF, Medicaid, or other services through HHS, as well as Department of Education homeless liaisons, to provide housing and key support services to homeless and at-risk households. In addition, $14.6 million would be available within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to be coordinated with HUD. These resources would aim to provide services in permanent supportive housing to chronically homeless people.
What You Can Do:
Help Strengthen Our Communities
Policy Recommendations of the Housing Community Development Network (HCDNNJ) and the NJ Advocacy Network to End Homelessness (NJANEH)
1. Build the capacity of federal housing resources to address the housing needs of very low income workers and people on fixed incomes:
Problem: The section 8 rental assistance voucher program is currently the best vehicle to help very low-income (e.g. under 30% of median income or earning under $25,000year for a family of four) working people and people on fixed incomes afford the high housing costs in New Jersey. A person on SSI receives $583/month and a family of three on TANF receives $424/month. Over 1/3 of the jobs in NJ pay under $25,000/year. There are over a million low income people who pay over half their income to live in New Jersey.
Action: Pass the Section 8 Voucher Reform Act in the House and have it introduced and passed in the Senate. Find a revenue source for the NHTF. Stimulate the LIHTC market by promoting investors return to the marketplace and re-start stalled projects.
2. Strengthen our economy by preserving housing that is currently affordable:
Problem: New Jersey is one of the most expensive states in the nation to rent a two-bedroom apartment. Over Ľ million low and moderate-income New Jersey residents have severe housing needs, meaning that they pay over 50% of their income on housing. HUD's own recent worst case housing needs report finds that "worsening shortages of housing affordable and available to extremely-low-income renters…show the underlying gap between demand and supply continues." We cannot afford to lose any housing that is currently affordable in the state.
Background: H.R. 4868, the Housing Preservation and Tenant Protection Act is comprehensive legislation to prevent the loss of affordable housing dwelling units.
Among the provisions of the bill, it would:
The bill also would enhance the ability of tenants to protect and preserve their homes
Action: Pass HR 4868 and its Senate counterpart.
3. Create a real program to end homelessness:
Problem: There is no place in New Jersey where the fair market rent for a one-bedroom apartment is affordable to someone working full-time earning under $25,000/year, receiving SSI or TANF. The recent economic crisis and high unemployment has lead to a record number of New Jersey residents becoming homeless. Unless programs to address homelessness are strengthened in coming years — community plans to end homelessness are not likely to succeed in meeting their worthy goals.
Actions: Support the legislation and appropriations listed above.
4. Fully fund HUD housing programs.
Problem: In past years there has been an underfunding of essential housing programs. Homelessness is expanding across the country. The number of Americans who receive rent subsidies remains stuck at about one fourth of those eligible. The stock of housing affordable to those at the bottom of the income scale due to disability, poor education, or disappearing jobs continues to deteriorate. The building blocks of community development and affordable housing help ensure the future sustainability of many communities and encourage critically needed private sector investment and business growth. A serious effort to rebuild these important resources is necessary.
Action: In addition to appropriations listed above we raise the following:
Restore the cuts in programs that produce housing for very low
income seniors and people with disabilities (the cuts to Section
202 from $825 to $274 million and the cuts in the 811 programs
from $300 to $90 million).

Exciting news! I've added a subscription tab to the blog….so now you can subscribe and will get alerts when a new post is published! Also, in the next few days I will be transferring the blog over to MY OWN DOMAIN! That's right I am purchasing my own website and will hopefully be sponsored by one of the many blog sponsorship sites out there (i.e. Foodbuzz, BlogHer….hopefully something like that). I am really excited.
Yesterdays lunch featured a French Meadow Bakery Sprouted Tortilla! Just thought I'd show you how well they worked in the Panini maker:
So anyways, yesterday I checked the mail around three o'clock and was greeted by a boat-load of packages. I got really excited (thinking they were all for me of course….wishful thinking )….but as it turns out most were for my parents, one was our neighbor's (go figure), and one (thank god) was for me. I grabbed it , and judging by the weight, I had a pretty good idea of what it was. I was very happy that I had guessed right!
CheeCha Potato Puffs! The company sent me four unique, gluten free flavors to sample: original (have to have a starting point, right?), sea salt and vinegar (fav. classic), luscious lime (tropical!), and salt and spiced pepper. I decided it was a good time for a snack, so I dove right in. My first choice to sample was the salt and pepper flavored puffs. i opened the bag and was surprised to find the puffs very fragrant. They smelled gooood! Not only were they very light and airy, but the crunch is out of this world. For being puffed (just with hot air) instead of fried, in loads of suspicious ingredients (as typical potato snacks are), the CheeCha's were really very good. The salt and pepper taste was not overwhelming (I actually wish there was more of a pepper taste. I am a pepper girl. LOL), but there was definitely enough flavor to make them very savory and satisfying for a salty snack. The ingredient lists and method for making these unique snacks, are very health conscious and the company certainly expresses their desire to provide healthy options for families all over the world.
An excerpt from their site: "Our family business began in 1996 when the snack food industry was laden with high-fat, high-calorie choices.Although the healthy foods movement was slowly taking off, there were very limited options in packaged snacks, and most of the "healthy" options were more cardboard-inspired than crave-worthy. When one of our family members suffered a heart attack and was ordered to change his current eating habits, we knew it was time to fill the "good-AND -good-for-you" gap in the snack food market and create a craveable, crunchable, guiltless treat. CheeCha is part of the healthy snack food evolution and will continue to create quality snack foods for the health-conscious consumer."
Their message is clear and their products are great! Here are the ingredients in the puffs I tried so far: potato flour, potato starch, sunflower oil, sea salt, sugar( adds only 1 gram of sugar…no big deal), spice, onion powder, garlic powder, vegetable oil, and THAT IS IT. With only 3 grams of fat per TWO cup serving, these would make a great, healthy snack for anyone who loves potato chips.
My parents liked them just as much as me, as you can probably tell:
Yes that would be an empty bag. LOL.
In addition the four flavors they sent me, they also sell Mediterranean Ginger (gluten free), Triple Cheese, Hickory Bacon, Blue Cheese, Mesquite BBQ, Crispy Dill Pickle, and Tomato Ketchup ( all with similar , short ingredient lists, and great nutritionals!). Thanks CheeCha for your samples and for your trail blazing snack products!
Oh and in case you were wondering, I tried the Cinnamon Raisin Bagels from French Meadow Bakery and they were fantastic! So sweet (even though they have no added sugar), with a great cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon Raisin bagels are my dad's favorite and he tried one and loved it as well (so, they definitely pass the test). They also toasted up really well unlike some whole grain bagels I have had….definitely a plus in my book ( I love me some crunch!)
Well the wind is blowing really hard outside (Ella almost got blown away on our morning walk) , but I am braving the elements and trekking across the street to the local farmers market in search for some fresh herbs to plant in my new garden! Wish me luck!

Ah yes I remember!
How could I forget that face?
That lit my world each day
The one who made me smile
At everything he had to say
I recall his kisses on my lips
And his gentle fingertips
Running slowly across my hips
Yes I remember our first date
And the fact that he was late
And kissing at the garden gate
I recollect his eyes of blue
And all the things we used to do
And hear him saying I love you
Forget me not he often said
How could I forget that frame?
That smile, that charm, that wit
Of you know, whats his name?

"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming....." (Dory)
I have been moving non-stop this week in preperation for exams and travel.I did it again. I dyed my hair. I was getting kinda bored as a redhead, so I went with what God gave me -- brown. It's a bit darker than my natural color, but I love it. Redheads may have more fun, but brunettes......well......it's just one of those things you have to experience for yourself.Because there is not enough random adventure in our lives, my roommate Bridget and I are driving to Orlando/Daytona, FL for spring break! This should be so exciting! I can't wait to go!I keep committing random acts of stupidity. Case and point: When I go to Floriday (as I have done in the past), I usually go sit in a tanning bed for ~10 minutes to prime my skin for the Florida sun. But this time, I got toasted. A little "overdone." Needless to say, I'm golden around the edges. I'm not burnt, per say, but my skin is red and feels very uncomfortable. Moral of the story: do not get "burnt" on sensitive skin. There are certain places that were never meant to be burnt......Exams suck. I took my immunohematology one today and almost started crying during it because what I had studied and what was on the exam were two different things. There are a zillion antibodies to remember, know how they react, which class immunoglobulin they're in.....the list goes on. Thankfully, I have repressed most of the memory. Now, if I had a midterm on tetris, I'd do really well on that.So, its 2 down 1 to go in the land of exams. Tomorrow is parasitology, which is the study of the little critters that can infection your intestine/eyes/skin -- just about anywhere on your body. Yeah, basically I'm taking a midterm on worms. How cool is that?Tomorrow I also embark on a quick trip to my home state of Ohio for the second time this week (just don't ask) to visit my high school physics lab partner, Dan, who was also one of my closest friends. I haven't seen him in a couple of years, so it will be good to catch up and hang out with him. :) I'm also excited to get on the road.And now back to your reguarly scheduled studying session.....PS) 70. 295. 9. 270. 76. 95. If these numbers mean anything to you......it was awesome. I wish I could post about it! PSS) I can ice skate!

CHICAGO, July 8, 2013 – Justin Carter was a typical Texas 18-year-old in February. He played online video games and connected with people on Facebook. During an argument on Facebook, over one of the games, a friend called him crazy and insane.
The young man replied back, "Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts lol and jk."
SEE RELATED: Guns, public education, and stupidity
A woman in Canada came across the Facebook thread. Being the typical busybody, she did a Google search and realized Justin Carter lived near a school. (His actual residence and location near a school was later disputed.)
The Canadian busybody contacted authorities. Search and arrest warrants were issued. Justin Carter was arrested for making a terroristic threat. His bail was set at $500 thousand dollars.
Now 19, he is sitting in jail awaiting trial. He faces eight years in prison.
It should be remembered that Canada does not have free speech. It has controlled and regulated speech. Canada is not a free country, which is why the Canadian law abiding busybody got her knickers in a twist.
Evidently, neither the Canadian busybody nor the Austin police know that "lol" and "jk" stand for laughing out loud and just kidding, respectively. They apparently do not know the difference between sarcasm and clear and present danger either.
In these days of busybodies with tender sensitivities and over reactive authorities, nothing is simple, sensible, or safe. You now can be arrested and prosecuted for making offensive jokes, comments, or statements. The Facebook police are coming after you.
According to recent reports, the young man is not faring well in jail. His family claims he is depressed, has been injured, and that he has been placed in solitary confinement with no clothing. He is reportedly on suicide watch.
This is the United States of America. People have the right to be offensive, foolish, or even an offensive foolish jackass.The silliest, most offensive, tasteless, and undesirable people are protected by the United States Constitution.
Unfortunately, there has been little backlash over the arrest of Justin Carter.
The media, the so-called bastion of the First Amendment, have been silent. No screaming editorials demanding the young man be released have been written. They are sensitive to the tender sensitivity of the busybodies, who may just attack them. The social media lynch mobs, especially those so-called freedom lovers, have also been strangely silent.
The world is full of online busybodies who smugly defend their actions in the name of collective safety, security, and sensitivity. They troll the internet, like the Department of Homeland Security and the NSA, looking for crimes against sensitivity. When they come across these crimes, they call in the authorities.
In some places, the authorities take these crimes against sensitivity very seriously. Texas is one of those places.
If the authorities do nothing, then the busybodies turn into Internet lynch mobs creating blitzs that catch the attention of the media. What does that bastion of the First Amendment do? Why, they contact the authorities to see if charges are going to be placed? They fuel the fire the lynch mobs created.
Arresting Justin Carter was as silly, if not sillier, than his Facebook comments. It makes the Austin Police look like a bunch of Barney Fifes. It also calls into question their training, as police officers are supposed to be trained extensively on the Bill of Rights.
What is worse, the prosecutors, who are supposed to be trained attorneys, are taking this case seriously. They will try this young man and attempt to put him in prison. Evidently, law schools no longer train attorneys on the First Amendment.
It is not bad enough Justin Carter was arrested. Still being incarcerated is worse. It makes a mockery out of our supposed system of justice. It makes prosecutors and judges look like idiots. How can any attorney or jurist justify the incarceration of a person for making a bad joke? Under this reasoning, stand up comedy would be illegal. David Letterman and Jay Leno would be Public Enemies.
There is no such thing as giving up your individual rights to free speech and expression for the safety of the collective. In 1969, the United States Supreme Court ruled that free speech could not be curtailed unless there was an imminent and likely threat. (Brandenburg v. Ohio)
The First Amendment prohibits any law that bans free speech and expression. "No law" means no law. The only exceptions to free speech and expression are if there is an imminent likely threat and/or clear and present danger. An 18-year-old at home on Facebook presented no imminent threat or clear and present danger to anyone, except a sensitive Canadian busybody.
It is not illegal to advocate or express anything, including violence, murder, mayhem, or even terrorism. You can even advocate sedition, treason, and the overthrow of the government. What you cannot do is act on or be in an imminent position to act on your advocacy. You cannot advocate and be a clear and present danger at the same time.
Justin Carter should be the poster boy for government abuse of First Amendment rights. His case is a perfect example of shoddy police work, inept prosecution, and incompetent judicial conduct.
The only people who should be prosecuted are those who arrested, charged, and allowed Justin Carter to remain in jail under a dubious law. Unfortunately, they are immune.
In despotic countries there are political prisoners. In the new America we will have politically incorrect prisoners. People will be incarcerated because they offended the tender sensitivities of others. There may even be a Department of Homeland Sensitivity to monitor speech and expression.
Justin Carters parents have a petition on Change.org to get their son released.
By the way, there have been no arrests or prosecutions of people who started Facebook pages and Twitter accounts advocating the murder of George Zimmerman or rioting if Zimmerman is is found not guilty of killing Trayvon Martin.
At least not yet.

LOS ANGELES -- The Chicago Cubs' ticket list already was stretched with manager Rick Renteria and starting rookie pitcher Kyle Hendricks returning Friday night to Dodger Stadium.
Their level of support was expanded, but it also put stress on the ticket demands when the Cubs promoted infielder and Newhall native Chris Valaika from Triple-A Iowa.
Valaika said he wasn't going to ask for many passes with Hendricks facing the Dodgers, but he assured Hendricks that his family members and friends would support him.
Hendricks, 24, who grew up about one hour away from Dodger Stadium in San Juan Capistrano, didn't disappoint his closest followers as he continues to cement a spot in the Cubs' rotation for the rest of the season.
Hendricks pitched seven innings of four-hit ball as the Cubs cruised to an 8-2 victory before 47,900 fans at Dodger Stadium.
"I thought about playing here, but not about this moment," said Hendricks, who actually pitched an inning at Dodger Stadium at a high school showcase tournament in front of about 200 people.
Only two of the four hits allowed by Hendricks (2-1) left the infield. Hendricks has allowed only two earned runs in his past 23 1/3 innings dating back to the fourth inning of his major league debut at Cincinnati on July 10.
The biggest issue for Hendricks might be his innings pitched. He has thrown 129 innings at Triple-A Iowa and with the Cubs this season. His career high is 166 1/3 innings accomplished last season at Double-A Tennessee and Iowa, but Hendricks said he feels strong, and Renteria said there haven't been any talks of shutting him down in the final month of the regular season.
"I'm sure if that's a topic of conversation we'll have, it will be somewhere in the near future," Renteria said.
Meanwhile, Hendricks looked strong as he has pitched at least six innings in each of his four major league starts.
"They haven't said a word to me," Hendricks said about his inning total. "I don't worry about that stuff. I work hard in the off-season to get myself ready for that. I like to throw a lot of innings.
"Usually as the season goes, I get stronger and fall into a rhythm. This is the best I've felt right now."
Hendricks received a big gift as the Cubs scored three times with two out in the third inning and added three more in the fifth to knock out starter Dan Haren.
Anthony Rizzo ignited the rally in the third with a double and scored on a single by Ryan Sweeney. Matt Kemp's throw from right field to third base skipped into the third base dugout, enabling Starlin Castro to score.
Sweeney, who advanced to third on Kemp's errant throw, scored on a wild pitch by Haren.
Haren was pulled after loading the bases. Welington Castillo hit an RBI single off the center field wall off Chris Perez. Nate Schierholtz hit a sacrifice fly, and Hendricks hit a hard grounder off the leg of Perez to score the third run of the inning.
Luis Valbuena tied the game in the second with his ninth home run.
Hendricks, who grew up a Los Angeles Angels fan before switching his allegiance to the San Francisco Giants, took a hard grounder by Dee Gordon off his calf in the first but stayed in the game.
Gordon stole second and third base. Hanley Ramirez hit a grounder to short, but Castro's throw to second sailed wide for an error to score Gordon. Adrian Gonzalez tried to score from first on the play, but the Cubs executed a perfect relay from Schierholtz to Rizzo to Castillo.
The Dodgers challenged the call, which was confirmed by replay.
Hendricks retired 13 of 15 batters until the sixth, when he allowed an infield hit to Yasiel Puig. A throwing error by Castillo allowed Puig to reach second.
Trailing by seven runs, Puig attempted to score from second after the Cubs failed to complete a double play at first base. Puig slid around Castillo to score, but he was taken out of the game in the top of the seventh. The Dodgers announced that Puig was pulled because of soreness in his left hamstring.
Hendricks walked one and struck out three in a 107-pitch effort.
"He seems to have a good feel for what he wants to do," Renteria said.
Castro had three of the Cubs' 13 hits.
This marked the first game that Renteria, a native of South Gate who grew up a Dodgers fan, managed at Dodger Stadium.

Passing Down the (Literary) Torch
I took Noah to Barnes & Noble yesterday — a somewhat regular thing, where we read and browse and play. (Their play train section is always a big meet-up of toddlers.)
But before we left, he wanted to go into the baby book section. He wanted to find a certain book for his cousin/"brother" Benjamin — and I stood back as I watched his eyes scan the shelves, his tiny finger running across the bindings.
And then he found it and pulled it out, and my heart swelled.
It was his first favorite book — B is for Bear by Roger Priddy. We read this book so often during his first year that we had to go out and buy a new one around the 6-month mark — because it literally fell apart.
He plopped right down in the middle of the aisle and opened the book — touching each sensory page, as if his hands remembered something that his brain didn't. The fuzzy duck ("D is for ducklings covered in down"), the soft dog ("Q is for quiet as the tired puppy sleeps"), the shiny robot ("R is for robot who walks talks and beeps"), etc.
How could he remember?
Without a word, he handed the book to me and we walked down to the register.
Now he reads to his cousin (brother) the same way we used to read to him — pointing to the pictures, making the animal sounds, teaching his lessons.
And my heart hasn't stopped swelling.

Say goodbye to the "old" flash memory. Apparently, IBM, Macronix, and Qimond are working on a new "species" of memory, called the "phase-change" memory, which appears to be 500 times faster and uses half the power to boot than the flash memory.
But, what is exactly the "phase-change" memory? Does anybody know?

Hackers started using a new technique to get hold of private information from public wireless routers' users. It's called the "evil twin" approach and the technique is based on the following principles:
This kind of activities have already been detected in a first-class private lounge of an airline company in a USA airport and in a specialized workshop for luxury cars, which had a room where their costumers could use public Wi-Fi access while waiting for their cars to be ready.
Apparently, the FBI has discovered a new way to "eavesdrop" on criminal's cellphones. Using a specific software (which can be installed remotely or by getting hold of the phone), the FBI can listen to conversations nearby the phone, once this is disconnected.
The software misleads the criminals in thinking that they have just turned off the phone, when in fact the phone is actually "calling" to the FBI.
So, "bad guys", a piece of advise: take off your batteries. That's the only safe option

A huge study from Denmark offers the latest reassurance that cell phones don't trigger cancer. Scientists tracked 420,000 Danish cell phone users, including 52,000 who had gabbed on the gadgets for 10 years or more, and some who started using them 21 years ago.
They matched phone records to the famed Danish Cancer Registry that records every citizen who gets the disease — and reported Tuesday that cell-phone callers are no more likely than anyone else to suffer a range of cancer types.
The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, is the largest yet to find no bad news about the safety of cell phones and the radio frequency energy they emit.
But will the debate end?
