LRDG: Daddy's girl', the 'good' student and others the multi-faceted identities of college studentsDate: 10 June 2014 Time: 1.00-2.00 pm Venue: C89, County South, Lancaster University At the next Literacy Research Discussion Group session (Tuesday 10 June) we will be pleased to welcome Angela Brzeski (Lancaster University) who will be speaking on: 'Daddy's girl', the 'good' student and others the multi-faceted identities of college students My talk focuses on a theme which emerged during my PhD study which investigated the relationship between home and college literacy practices of Further Education students and their engagement in learning. This theme was literacy, learning and identity which, initially, I found to be a real challenge but it turned out to be absolutely fascinating.My starting point was to ask myself are there specific literacy practices associated with specific identities? If so, how far do these relate to students' engagement or disengagement?This talk provides my answers to these questions. In my study, I took an ethnographic approach to research the literacy practices of eight students at a college in the North West of England.I carried out observations, interviews and analysis of their work, which generated a wealth of interesting data. My talk will also reveal my contributions to the theory of literacy and education together with classroom practice.

What's this? A New Podcast? Huh?
I was listening to the podcast I did with Dave Winer this morning and realized that it is out of context for most readers of my blog and many listeners of the No Agenda Show.
This particular podcast isn't a show per se. Its a companion to the work we have been collaborating on for the past 2 years.
The context is development of the World Outline, an application that runs in the OPML Editor.
We expect the audience to be small, initially only for users and developers who have been following the work on the mailing list.
So what is the World Outline? I"m not sure either of us can explain it and pass the elevator test. I have written about it here and here from my perspective, but I would probably have written a different piece if I were to do that today
And that's also what this podcast is about. It is a conversation that rarely happens in software development. A discussion between the developer and the user.
There's no production other than the recording of a skype call we do regularly anyway.
Historically speaking this is an interesting moment. The last time we did this together was in 2004. At that time we had similar conversations about a project we were working on that evolved into a media shift known as Podcasting.
What's nice now, 8 years later is that we are both older, and have learned a lot about each other and are in different phases of our lives.
Where this will take us, I have no idea. I guess we're just Startin' Somethin'.
The BBC did something similar to what I'm hearing us do here when they made actual profgramming for radio and television about their personal computer

"Everything about this design is just beautiful! It's simple yet elegant. I was really impressed with the delivery time, and grateful that we were able to mail our save the date within the time frame we had hoped! Our guest were very impressed and we received many compliments! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"This was perfect for a quick and simple save the date to send to a few out of town guests. The paper wasn't anything fancy but the design of the overall product was simple and cute!"
"I loved the quality and image for my save the date. To make any changes to the product was very easy. The only thing I wish that I changed would be the paper type which was my fault other than that I loved everything. I am going to use them again for other invitations needed for my wedding. The shipping was very quick and arrived in a box with tons of tissue in it so the cards would not get ruined."
"I chose the "print my design" option and love the print and card quality. The standard paper was the perfect thickness (not too thin and reasonably priced) for Save the Date cards! Will use WPD to print my invitations as well! Great service all around."
"I absolutely loved this Save the Date magnet! After going back and forth between a multi-photo magnet and single photo magnet, we are so so happy that we went with this single photo design! It was perfect, and we are receiving so many compliments! The editors were even able to edit out a strand of hair that was covering my chin! Would definitely recomment :-) Easy to order and arrives quickly!"

When you email again, please let me know your city and venue and a rough idea of the size of your doula group there. You'll want 28-30 registrations to cover venue, refreshments, flights, ground transportation and speaker's fee.
I can say yes to only a few requests. Here is what you would want to know if you were to host a Workshop.
- How long is your workshop? Spinning Babies is 7 hrs. other range 3-6 hours.
- Will you have CEU's available? .7 ACNM CEUs, which covers 7 contact hours for some doula groups.
- How much does it cost normally? Email Gail @ Spinningbabies. com
- What do we need to supply for you? Explained below.
- Will you be bringing your workbook for purchase or does it come with the course? No, Spinning Babies does not include the workbook. It can be bought for $14.95 for 1-5 or at 40% off for 6 or more. When Gail flies in she will have a limited number of book. Some classes will receive handouts are sent through email as an electronic version.
- What is the smallest number you will do a class for at one time? If you pay a speakers fee, there is no minimum.
- What is the largest number who can attend the class at one time? 30-35 depending on the room.
- What size room do you need? Very large, open, carpeted with AV. See more below.
- Do I need to fill anything out? I'll send an info sheet and a contract to sponsors.
- Does taking your class mean that I will be certified? No. A Certification of Attendance is given (or sent later).
What are the Spinning Babies Workshops?
- Spinning Babies: Labor Progress through Fetal Positioning ( .7 ACNM CEUs)
- Belly Mapping, Empowering a Mother to Identify Fetal Positioning (1 ½ hours)
- Resolving Shoulder Dystocia(3 or 5 hrs, Midwives/Apprentices, Physicians, L & D nurses only)
- Breech Update (morning open to all, afternoon continues for providers only, 6 ACNM CEUs).
Thank you for helping to bring Spinning Babies Workshops to your area.
"Very good workshop.. My mind is pretty much blown. I really want my co-workers to attend this workshop." - A. Young, former L and D nurse, California
The Workshop details
Gail requests an hour to set up before each workshop with your help. Seating is in a semi-circle. We need room for practice all around the room!
8:30 start: Spinning Babies Workshop 8:30-5 pm with a 90-min. lunch break from 12-1:30.
9 am start: Spinning Babies Workshop 9-5:30 pm with a 90-min. lunch break from 1-2:15.
Adjustments in the schedule are made for Hospital sponsorship for L and D staff.
24 participants minimum (only if you hostess, sponsors can have fewer) and 30 maximum.
Common effects of posterior position on pregnancy and labor are a sense of pain, sometimes a delay in getting into labor, length of labor, and higher cesarean rates. A new view of Fetal Positioning includes the 3 Principles of Balance, Gravity and Movement; levels of the pelvis, and working with the soft tissues for labor progress. Practice activities for pregnancy comfort, spontaneous birth as nature intended, and cesarean avoidance with labor progress.
Sponsors and hostesses find a pregnant volunteer who fits the criteria to show the class pregnancy techniques. A pregnant registrant in her 3rd month is ideal, but a sponsor or her colleague's client may comin in for the last 2 hours of the morning session.
Resolving Shoulder Dystocia (3 hours, 3 MEAC CEUs) lecture, video clips, and practice with a doll and manikin, or doll and pelvic box unless traveling by air. From Gaskin to FlipFLOP, McRoberts and PAC Pull, find how to pick the right technique for each type of shoulder dystocia. Dress comfortably because we practice on the floor. Sorry, no doulas or parents at RSD.
Breech Basics Signs of a safe breech vs. signs of dystocia, when is it too late for transport, upright breech benefits, resolving breech shoulder dystocia and head entrapment. Does "hands-off-the-breech" really mean us? When presented as a full day class, the morning may combine with the public breech class.

Cost to bring the Workshop(s)
There are two ways to have a workshop; as a sponsor or as a hostess.
Each type will book the room, communicate frequently through email with Gail and her own community to fill the class and answer participants' questions, set up refreshments, seating, and help with AV equipment and easel/whiteboard.
Pre-registration with you as the Sponsor – Option A
You or your group sponsorship includes your logo on Spinning Babies Website event page. The sponsor sets the registration fee. Sponsor has the right to offer scholarships. The sponsor keeps any profit over Gail's fees, or pays the difference if their expenses are matched.
The sponsor is responsible to pay the honoraria for Gail's workshops, airfare, and provide ground transportation to workshop(s) from the airport and lodging. Sponsor arranges and pays one night hotel stay for each workshop; or arranges a private room in a non-smoking home very near the workshop. If Gail gives two workshops in one day, for instance, Spinning Babies until 5 pm, with Resolving Shoulder Dystocia in the evening from 6:30- 9:30 pm, then two nights of accomodations are necessary.
Payment is made the day of the workshop by check, cash or PayPal.
Honoraria(Speaker's fee) paid by the sponsor who takes registrations. Email Gail for particulars.
- One day of presentation(s): fee plus one night at a hotel.
- Day and Evening-- RSD or Breech Update is offered that evening (same or separate sponsor) and in the same location: fee plus 2 nights hotel room.
- Two-day (2 full days, can be same workshop twice or 3 different workshops in the same room), the fee plus 2 nights of accommodations (hotel or home).
- Two days in two different locations? Fee is for one day workshop for each day.
A pre or Post-Spinning Babies Belly Mapping for the public (parents and others) can be added for a small fee per each participating pregnant woman/couple/care provider. Book is included in the fee (US only).
The hotel room must be in the same hotel as the workshop when held in a hotel, or nearby if not. Nonsmoking, please. An iron will be needed if you don't want to see me in wrinkles.
Pre-registration with Gail, with you as the Hostess – Option B
When Gail handles registrations, the hostess doesn't pay an honorarium, but still fulfills the hosting duties such as arranging ground transportation, lodging and refreshments. Gail pays up to a set amount, so check with her before purchasing. If the class isn't 2/3 full within 3-4 weeks prior Gail will cancel and refund the participants. Minimum pre-registration is 16-24, maximum class size varies, plan for 30.
A hostess receives 2 seats and has no financial responsibilities.
Size of Workshop
Plan a workshop with 26-30 registrants. More people need more room! The room must be large enough to accommodate a semi-circle (3-4 rows are ok) and 3-4 massage tables plus my props table. We'll need space to try out the movements on the floor near the seating, not a separate room. Semi-circle seating is very important for Gail's teaching style. We may have 2-3 massage tables as well, with room to walk around them easily. See room map. Look for a room that easily seats 50-70 for our 30.
If Gail is giving a lecture without hands-on practice time other seating arrangements will be fine. A lecture can have as many people as comfortably cared for.
Audio-Visual Needs
For all workshops we need an easel and large pad of paper or white board and table. Except Belly Mapping, a large screen tv with computer plug in, DVD player, or a projector that can be hooked-up to my old MacBook Pro laptop.
Before Booking a Location
Please let me know about the location before booking it. I'll want to know that the room is large, clean, carpeted, private and we have good AV. A waiting room of a birth center would have to be big enough & private… photos appreciated!
Things to consider about location to make your workshop a success:
Is the location in or near a favorite hospital or a regular doula or midwife meeting place? (Consider a conference room if it is large, private, carpeted, clean, centrally located, and free. Are doulas and midwives meeting there already?)
Is the actual site easy to access with off-street/free parking?
Can the hostess and Gail arrive at 7 am to set up, or the night before?
Set up and clean up: Gail needs 1 hr with help before class /1 hr after class in the room. ( ~7 am to 5:30 pm.)
Gail's Travel and Accommodations
Gail will book and pay for travel when she is able to choose workshop times that match her travel pattern. Her talk must be in or near the same city as the airport or Interstate; exceptions might be made when travel and hotel are paid by the sponsor. If the sponsor brings Gail to her city, she'll pay airfare. Its affordable if she books a two day event.
Responsibilities of Workshop Organizer(s), hostess or sponsors
The organizer of the workshop takes care of the following:
Finding and securing a site with space for hands-on, and on-the-floor practice
Arranging for rental and/or set-up of audio-visual equipment, as needed.
Send Gail the signed and dated contract (Sponsors)

Robin Van Persie last night blasted his team mates after their poor performance in Greece and claimed they were getting in his way, report the Daily Star.
The United striker endured a frustrating night and after seeing his side lose 2 - 0 to underdogs Olympiakos slammed their performance, stating that players were 'often in his area'.
The Dutch forward said: ""It was quite difficult because my team-mates are often in the area where I want to play. That's why I have to change my tactics. Unfortunately, they are often in my area.
"It was much too slow today and we only had one shot on target in the whole match against Olympiakos, which is far too little. Everyone is very disappointed."
The defeat leaves United needing to score three goals without reply in the reverse fixture to qualify for the quarter finals. And being out of both domestic cups this season, along with trailing fourth placed Liverpool by 11 points, means this is David Moyes only chance of silverware in his debut campaign.
However Van Persie believes that the deficit can be over turned at Old Trafford and is hoping for a much improved performance.
"It is still possible, because with all due respect to Olympiakos, we should be able to win 3-0 at home," added Van Persie.
"It is not that they were fantastic (in the first leg), we just mostly failed."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Louis B. Boudin (1874–1952) was a Russian-born American Marxist theoretician, writer, politician, and lawyer. He is best remembered as the author of a two volume history of the Supreme Court's influence on American government, first published in 1932.
Louis B. Boudin was born Louis Boudianoff in imperial Russia on December 15, 1874. He was born into a middle-class family, the son of a shirt manufacturer.[1]
The family emigrated to America in 1891 and settled in New York City.[2] Louis worked in the garment industry as a shirtmaker and as a private tutor.[1] At the same time, Boudin began legal studies, gaining a Master's Degree from New York University and being admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1898.[2]
At first, Boudin was a member of the Socialist Labor Party of America (SLP). He was a member of the governing National Executive Board of the SLP's trade union affialiate, the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance (ST&LA) from 1898 to 1899.[1] Boudin left the Socialist Labor Party during the party fight of 1899, casting his lot with the dissident faction headed by Morris Hillquit and Henry Slobodin. This dissident SLP organization would eventually become one of the main pillars of the new Socialist Party of America, established in the summer of 1901.
Boudin was elected a delegate of the Socialist Party of America to the International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart in 1907 and the 1910 Copenhagen Congress of the Second International.[1]
Boudin was frequently a candidate for public office on the Socialist Party ticket. He ran for Judge of the New York Court of Appeals in 1910, 1914 and 1917, and for Chief Judge in 1916. He also ran for Justice of the New York Supreme Court (2nd District) in 1910, 1912, and 1919.[3]
Boudin wrote his first political articles on aesthetics and the materialist conception of history (historical materialism).[2] From May 1905 through October 1906, Boudin wrote a series of articles expounding upon Marxism which were published in the Chicago magazine The International Socialist Review. These articles were collected in book form as The Theoretical System of Karl Marx in the Light of Recent Criticism in February 1907.[4] The title was published by the leading radical publishing house of the day, Charles H. Kerr & Co., and was kept in print continuously over the next two decades through several reissue editions. The book, a defense of such orthodox Marxist tenants as the labor theory of value and historical materialism against their critics of the day, established Boudin's place as one of the foremost American authorities on Marxism among a generation of young political activists.[2]
Together with Ludwig Lore and Louis C. Fraina, Boudin was a founding editor of The Class Struggle, a Marxist theoretical magazine which first saw print in May 1917.[2] The Class Struggle published news and commentary about revolutionary socialist events in Europe, including translations of works by some of the leading figures of the Zimmerwald Left, and was an important influence on the formation of the Left Wing Section of the Socialist Party in 1919 — a group which provided the core of the Communist Party of America and Communist Labor Party later in that year. Boudin had left the project by this juncture, however, as a brief notice in the September–October 1918 issue indicated that he had resigned his position as an editor and member of the Socialist Publication Society owing to "differences concerning the policy of the magazine."[5]
After the formation of the Communist Labor Party of America and the Communist Party of America, Boudin shied away from organized politics. He did, however, teach in the Communist Party-sponsored Workers' School in New York in the late 1920s and occasionally contributed articles to the CP's artistic magazine, The New Masses during the latter half of the 1930s.[2]
Boudin repudiated communism by 1940, although he remained a staunch defender of the civil liberties of Communist Party members.[2]
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s Boudin was a frequent contributor of book reviews to scholarly journals such as the Columbia Law Review, The American Journal of Sociology, and The Journal of Politics.[6]
In addition to working as a lawyer, winning several cases related to the rights of workers to organize trade unions,[2] Boudin also wrote a two volume work called Government by Judiciary, revisiting a topic which he had dealt with in a previous shorter book. In this work, never much read by the radical movement of the day, Boudin argued that the democratic rights of the people had been usurped by the judicial branch of government. While not influential with political activists of the period, Boudin's book remained in use among law students for decades, according to historian Paul Buhle.[2]
His papers reside at Columbia University in New York City and include the manuscript of an unpublished book, Order Out of Chaos, a study of economic crises.

A.M. Best Upgrades Ratings Of Arch Re Ltd. And Its Operating Affiliates
A.M. Best Co. has upgraded the financial strength ratings (FSR) to A+ (Superior) from A (Excellent) and the issuer credit ratings (ICR) to "aa-" from "a+" of Arch Reinsurance Ltd. (Arch) (Bermuda), its strategic affiliates and its separately rated affiliate, Arch Specialty Insurance Company (Omaha, NE). A.M. Best also has upgraded the ICR to "bbb+" from "bbb" of Arch Capital Group (US) Inc. (New York, NY). Concurrently, A.M. Best has upgraded the ICR to "a-" from "bbb+" as well as all debt ratings of the ultimate holding company, Arch Capital Group Ltd (Bermuda) (NASDAQ: ACGL). The outlook for all ratings has been revised to stable from positive. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.)
The upgrades reflect Arch's continued superior operating performance amidst challenging market conditions, consistently excellent capitalization and demonstrated risk management ability. Arch maintains a very strong underwriting culture, which centers on active cycle management and adaptability to varied market conditions. In a market environment where investment yields are hovering at record lows, underwriting profitability needs to be paramount. The company is positioned to write a broad range of property/casualty insurance and reinsurance on a worldwide basis with an emphasis on specialty lines.
Overall operating results since Arch's inception have been strong and in certain instances have exceeded most peers in the sector. Typically, Arch has had a smaller share of major industry losses, with 2011 reported losses being no exception, which is demonstrative of the company's superior risk management. As a result, Arch has reported stable and consistent financial results with lower levels of volatility than many of its peers. Furthermore, Arch has a prudent investment portfolio and conservative reserving philosophy, which helps maintain a strong balance sheet.
Partially offsetting these positive rating attributes are the current soft market conditions through which Arch, as well as all industry participants, must navigate.

Argentina takes steps to bring Dirty War-era criminals to justice before death
(Read article summary)Argentina is taking steps, like limiting pre-verdict statements, to speed up their judicial process in an effort to bring closure to victims of dictatorship-era crimes before alleged perpetrators die of old age.
Enrique Marcarian/Reuters
Buenos Aires
Inscribed on a vast wall in the main cemetery in Santiago, Chile are the names of approximately 3,000 people "disappeared" by the military government that ruled there from 1973 to 1990. The head of that government, Augusto Pinochet, died in 2006 without ever being tried for crimes against humanity, and his impunity is a source of anger for many Chileans who wanted him to face the justice system.
In contrast to Chile, last week in neighboring Argentina former dictators Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone were handed prison sentences for overseeing the systematic kidnapping of babies from activists disappeared – kidnapped and murdered – during Argentina's 1976-1983 Dirty War.
Both Mr. Videla and Mr. Bignone, 86 and 84 respectively, are already serving life sentences for human rights abuses. But with close to 1,000 others linked to the military regime being investigated for similar crimes, the Argentine judiciary is under enormous stress. In Argentina more than 250 alleged perpetrators of crimes against humanity have passed away without being brought to justice. Others are too unwell to face the courts. In response, the Argentine court system is stepping up its efforts to create an environment where dictatorship-era crimes can be tried in a timely manner. It is an attempt to not only bring justice, but a sense of closure to a tragic period in the country's recent past.
"Human rights abuses are an absolute priority," said Pedro David, president of Argentina's second-highest criminal court, in December.
In the past, cases involved huge volumes of evidence and victims were required to testify on several occasions. Trials have since been expedited by allowing judges to combine cases. Victims may also testify just once for multiple defendants. While only two convictions were brought in 2006, there were more than 100 in 2010.

Jackie desperate for shock
17 Mar 2008 - 12:27:41
Aberdeen defender Jackie McNamara is hoping to end a frustrating season in style, starting with victory against his former club Celtic in Tuesday's Scottish Cup replay at Parkhead.
The 34-year-old has started only 16 games for the Dons following last summer's switch from Wolves after enduring a succession of injury problems.
However, McNamara came off the substitute's bench in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Gretna after being sidelined for six weeks with a hamstring strain.
He admitted: "I haven't played as many games as I'd have wanted. I've had a few niggling injuries.
"It was hard to miss out on so many big games such as the European matches against Bayern (Munich). But there are still big games left.
"I thought we'd done enough to get through in the first game against Celtic, but it wasn't to be.
"Celtic showed the never-say-die attitude they always have, but we had enough chances to get through.
"Everyone knows you have to take your chances against the Old Firm and that's something we'll need to do tomorrow.
"They'll not be taking us lightly but the onus will be on them."

On June 28, 2011 the Dothan Police Department responded to a 911 call at the intersection of Citadel Avenue and Oglethorpe Street at 8:24 p.m.
The caller reported his four year old son was not breathing. Police and paramedics responded to the scene where they found the father attempting to resuscitate the child. Medics began to take over the effort but recognized immediately that the child was deceased and further found signs that the child had likely died several hours earlier.
The Command Staff for the Dothan Police Department say the investigation into this case will be extensive and further say all findings and conclusions made from the past twelve hours on the scene are preliminary and will be exhausted over the course of the investigation.
At this time, police findings have revealed a four year old Shawn Aldridge entered a vehicle which was parked at his residence while unsupervised. Once inside of the vehicle, the child was unable to open the doors because none of the handles were functional from the interior.
Police are awaiting a forensic opinion on the length of time in which the child was in the vehicle however several hours are unaccounted for based on statements of the parents. An autopsy is being performed at this time to establish a cause of death.
Police have taken the child's mother and father into custody and have charged both with manslaughter.
The Dothan Police Department would like to extend our thoughts to the neighbors, friends and family that have been affected by this tragedy during their time of loss.
• Christopher Aldridge, white male, 35 years of age, of Citadel Avenue was arrested and charged with Manslaughter with bond being established later today.
• Stephanie Coogle, white female, 23 years of age, of Citadel Avenue was arrested and charged with Manslaughter with bond being established later today.

In spring 2006 a special meteorological situation occurred in the European Arctic region giving record high levels of air pollution. The synoptic situation resulted in extensive transport of pollution predominantly from agricultural fires in Eastern Europe into the Arctic region and record high air-pollution levels were measured at the Zeppelin observatory at Ny-Ålesund (78°54' N, 11°53' E) in the period from 25 April to 12 May. In the present study we investigate the optical properties of the aerosols from this extreme event and we estimate the radiative forcing of this episode. We examine the aerosol optical properties from the source region and into the European Arctic and explore the evolution of the episode and the changes in the optical properties. A number of sites in Eastern Europe, Northern Scandinavia and Svalbard are included in the study. The observations show that the maximum AOD was from 2–3 May at all sites and varies from 0.52 to 0.87, and the corresponding Ångstrøm exponent was relatively large. Lidar measurements from Minsk, ALOMAR (Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere Research at Andenes) and Ny-Ålesund show that the aerosol layer was below 3 km at all sites the height is decreasing from the source region and into the Arctic. For the AERONET sites included (Minsk, Toravere, Hornsund) we have further studied the evolution of the aerosol size. The single scattering albedo at Svalbard is provided for two sites; Ny-Ålesund and Hornsund. Importantly the calculated single scattering albedo based on the aerosol chemical composition and size distribution from Ny-Ålesund and the AERONET measurements at Hornsund are consistent. We have found strong agreement between the satellite daily MODIS AOD and the ground-based AOD observations. This agreement is crucial for accurate radiative forcing calculations. We calculate a strong negative radiative forcing for the most polluted days employing the analysed ground based data, MODIS AOD and a multi-stream model for radiative transfer of solar radiation. During this specific pollution event the forcing reached values as low as −35 W m−2 in the region. For comparison, the direct forcing of a corresponding aerosol layer with a typical AOD of 0.05 for the season is around −5 W m−2.

Well, that time of the year is again upon us! As exciting and (hopefully) as productive as FFM, it's National Novel Writing Month all of November! This means, for the uninitiated, that I am going to write a 50 000-word novel in the 30 days of November. I already know some of y'all are in, but anyone else want to step up and admit they're participating? Please feel free to add me as a buddy in that case (same username as here!).
As to my novel this year, I have both planned and not-really planned. I have some character names, and a rough plot, and an IDEA (involving alternate worlds!), but I have no clue if I can actually pull it off or not. It's based on the Empires of Time and Space shorts I wrote during FFM, but things will probably change quite a bit from that basic premise. Time will tell, very, very soon. On November 1 it all kicks off. So exciting!

LionsXII defender Shakir Hamzah fined $4k, slapped with 30 hours' community service
Published on Jun 20, 2013 7:50 PM
LIONSXII footballer Shakir Hamzah has been fined $4,000 and ordered to do 30 hours of community service.
The punishment was meted out by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) following a disciplinary hearing yesterday.
The 20-year-old player had been charged with bringing the game into disrepute after he falsely informed the FAS in May that he had the permission of his Singapore Police Force unit to travel to Kuantan for the Malaysian Super League match against Pahang on May 17.
In a statement, the FAS said that his $4,000 fine is to be paid in two monthly instalments by Aug 20. His community service in football is to be completed within three months under the supervision of an FAS youth coach.

In bright sunshine that made temperatures in the 40s feel downright toasty, Therese Monaghan of Williamston enjoys Opening Day at Comerica Park. / MANDI WRIGHT/Detroit Free Press
Prince Fielder surveys the field before the start of the game. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ/DETROIT FREE PRESS
It was a great game, a terrific ending, an Opening Day victory nearly stolen away then returned in the bottom of the ninth. But for all the impressive pitches thrown by Justin Verlander and the dramatic winning hit from Austin Jackson, the day began and ended with eyes on the New Guy.
His last name was familiar, his face was familiar, heck, even his thick body was familiar. And when he stepped to the plate and the PA announcer introduced him -- "FIELDER!" -- the ovation was like dķjÓ vu, to fans, to media and to a certain 48-year-old former Tiger, watching on TV in his home in Atlanta.

"Yeah, I'm watching," Cecil Fielder said via phone when I called. "Just chilling, on the couch, watching the game."
In a different world, he'd have been here, in Comerica Park, and maybe his face would have been flashing on the giant scoreboard, beaming with fatherly pride. But for whatever reasons that respectfully remain private between them, father and son are not in the same place these days.
And so Prince Fielder, 27, made his debut on his own Thursday afternoon, the opening day of the season, and with his first at-bat he muscled a single into right-center, and with his last at-bat, he sacrificed in a run, and he was officially in the local books, wearing the Detroit uniform that another Fielder once adorned.

"I'm glad he's there," Cecil said, from 700 miles away. "That's a great team. That team has a chance to do great things."
In his comfort zone
Prince Fielder deserves his own career, and whatever goes on within his family deserves its privacy. But sports exist in the bodies of the players and the minds of the fans, and more than a few Detroiters couldn't watch young Fielder for the first time Thursday, batting cleanup, and not flash back on his famous dad, who, as a Tiger, once belted 51 home runs in a single season.
A school-age Prince used to bounce around the locker room in those days, sitting on his father's stool, munching on postgame food. Now he is a bona fide major league superstar with kids of his own, the recipient of a $214-million contract, and a huge turnstile turner.
Thursday, he began his own Detroit chapter.
"The fans made me feel real comfortable," Fielder said after the Tigers' 3-2 victory. "I took myself out of the equation. It was more about the team.
• Photos: 2012 Tigers Opening Day
"It's always easy when you know you have a good team."
When asked if he would need time to feel comfortable as a Tiger, he said, "For me, spring was enough. The first day I show up and I see Miguel (Cabrera) and Verlander welcoming me. ... Once they did that I felt comfortable right away."
On Thursday, Fielder's name brought a huge ovation. He singled in the second inning. And in the bottom of the eighth, with the Tigers up, 1-0, he sliced a pop out to centerfield, and Jackson tagged to make it 2-0.
"I didn't feel pressure," Fielder said afterward. "I felt excited to play baseball."
A game of his own
Prince is now part of a big-name roster in a city that hasn't always had big baseball names. But Fielder, Cabrera and Verlander rival any triple threat on a major league roster.
"Are you glad to be on the same team as Justin?"
"Of course," Fielder said. "He already no-hit me one time with the Brewers. I'm glad I'm on the other side."
He smiled, and it's hard not to look at him and see his dad, whose career many of us covered as well. In saying that, no one is taking away from Prince's already stellar accomplishments. He did those all by himself.
But playing in Detroit is often different than other places. We embrace the old as we embrace the new, which explains why players from the 1984 championship team were spotted at the park Thursday, even 28 years after that accomplishment.
Cecil Fielder always will be a part of Detroit sports history, just as his son now will make his own name in it. It does seem sad that the father watched the game alone in Atlanta, while the son played in Detroit.
But that is between them.
"I'll get up there to see a game," Cecil said before hanging up. "It'll all work out. Just needs time."
If it's possible, you hope it comes true. Baseball's story renews itself every spring. And Detroit has a Fielder story once again.

In fact, POTUS has little power over gas prices. FOPOTUS have immense power over gas prices.
Fewer and fewer companies control the alleged bottleneck of refining capacity, a convenient scapegoat. We aren't even close to using our full complement of refineries, with at least two big ones off line for the present. Then there is the threat of going to war with Iran making another convenient scapegoat to throw into the mix. The real player in pricing is speculation though.
As a result, we are being forced to pay outrageous sums for gas, without even starting the whole "drive less, it's good for climate change" mantra. That way, the oil industry gets their money, and the speculators get more.
Presidents may want to steer the behavior of people, but it is the companies posting the highest profits in the history of profits that really control the show. The fault with Obama is that he isn't a strong enough power player to call in the energy and finance bigwigs, and get them to operate with merely decent, rather than obscene profits. If he wanted to make profits easier, the bigwigs would line up at the door to do his bidding, we'd have a rerun of the early 2000's scenario, and gas would be $7.00.
These days, the only way to control or moderate pricing on anything means controlling or reining in Goldman Sachs. See: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405
The American people are right to avoid blaming a single person, even if he is president. Truth is, those with the power to influence gas prices are not elected or otherwise serving in government. They are the ones government serves, and they are only fictitious persons known as corporations, with rights of speech, but apparently no risk of any investigation into their actions regarding the markets they make are break.

Wednesday, May 19
Busch Stadium
Attendance: 40,766
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Hanley Ramirez had three hits and drove in a run in his return to the lineup, as Florida upended St. Louis, 5-1, at Busch Stadium.
Ramirez was benched Tuesday by manager Fredi Gonzalez. Ramirez, who hit third, was criticized by the skipper for his play in Monday's game against Arizona due to a lack of effort.
The return of the shortstop helped the Marlins win for the sixth time in seven games.
Dan Uggla and Cameron Maybin hit solo homers in the seventh inning off Blake Hawksworth, and Anibal Sanchez tossed seven shutout innings. Sanchez (3-2) was charged with four hits and two walks, but he had eight strikeouts.
"They've been going late in the game," Ramirez said of Florida's starting pitchers. "Our bullpen is getting that little bit of rest."
Jaime Garcia surrendered five hits and four walks while recording six strikeouts over five scoreless innings in the start.
"I was a little bit off, I couldn't find my rhythm tonight," Garcia said. "I was able to make good pitches when I needed them in tough situations. They've got a really good lineup. They were working the pitch counts."
Hawksworth (0-2) was pounded for five hits and four runs in two frames as the Cardinals lost for the 10th time in 15 contests.
Florida, which left 12 men on base, wasted a bases-loaded chance in the first inning when Cody Ross struck out. The visitors left two men on base in the second and two more in the next inning.
The Marlins finally broke through in the sixth to snap the scoreless contest. Ronny Paulino and Maybin singled before Sanchez drew a walk. Chris Coghlan followed with a sacrifice fly, and after Gaby Sanchez lined out, Ramirez legged out an infield hit for another run.
Uggla homered to left leading off the seventh, and with two outs Maybin blasted his third homer of the year, also to left field.
Albert Pujols grounded into a double play to close the bottom of the eighth, and Cody Ross' RBI double in the ninth made it 5-0.
David Freese singled in Colby Rasmus in the bottom of the inning.
