Robbie Mullin returns to Marston Road
Posted: May 29, 2014|
BACK in the ranks at Marston Road is the popular figure of Robbie Mullin.
Mullin, who had a spell with the club as assistant to secretary Mike Hughes a couple of years ago, returns as match day football secretary.
"He will assist the management team and we are delighted that Robbie has agreed to come back to the club to help with the huge task in front of us," said Hughes.
Mullin said: "I'm delighted and honoured to come back. I have agreed to do so because I really think the club recognises that we need to change and I want to be part of the new era at the club I love."
With commercial activity paramount to the success of the football club, Rangers are currently looking at potential individuals to lead in this field.
Anyone interested in joining the commercial team should contact Carol Bailey in the first instance on 07889 170070.
"The changes we are making (as a club) provide a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to get behind Stafford Rangers and if you are interested in having an early discussion then contact Carol, " said Hughes.
The list of volunteers at the club is growing every day but there are still vacancies that need to be filled and Carol also has full details of these.
"We would like to take the opportunity to thank all our supporters and volunteers, grounds men and staff for all their support. It has been a difficult period for all but we need to look forward not back.
"Now is the time when we all must unite together to change the face of the football club and try to turn around our fortunes.
"Our thanks also go to the unsung heroes of the social club and committee who provide much needed income which enables us to move forward, also the volunteers who have recently raised money for the club and those who have pledged to carry out improvements in the next couple of months," said Hughes.
The social club will continue to drive the football club's additional activities providing a great venue for all kinds of events and celebrations. For more information on how to book one of the rooms call Tony Vincent and his team on 01785 602432.

Nokia: misguided or misunderstood?
Of all the mobile device companies out there today, you could make a strong argument for calling Nokia the most misunderstood. Fresh to the table this morning comes the Nokia N8 - capably specified and distinctively "of" the company - a device that on the face of it should slot somewhere in among the Droid Incredible, iPhone and Nexus One for lustworthiness. While the company press machine will happily tell you that more than 1.2bn people, worldwide, use Nokia devices every day - and Nokia enthusiasts can legitimately rival Apple fans for their rabid levels of devotion - there's already a sense among many that the N8 is just the latest flawed icing on a misguided corporate cake. Where is Nokia going wrong?

Former Melrose Place star Andrew Shue and Weekend Today anchor Amy Robach were married Saturday afternoon in New York City.
"It was the most beautiful night in every way," Shue and Robach tell PEOPLE. "Despite snow, high winds, flight and train delays, every guest made it to the night to share our in our new beginning."
The couple, who met last April at a book party and got engaged in September, exchanged vows at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, adjacent to the Hudson River. And it was an extra special occasion for Robach, who walked down the aisle on her 37th birthday. Shue's mother, Anne Harms, officiated the ceremony, and the two wrote their own vows.
Shue, 42, and Robach, 37, are recently divorced – and the wedding party consisted of Shue's three sons with ex-wife Jennifer Hageney and Robach's two daughters with her ex-husband, Tim McIntosh.
"The wedding was absolutely beautiful," a Today show rep, who attended the ceremony, tells PEOPLE. "Amy and Andrew were beaming."
As for the reception, the rep says, "The decor was simple and there were lots of candles. The guest list was fairly small. They wanted an intimate feel with close friends and family."

Most photographers would have heard or read about the new FinePix X100 camera by Fujifilm since it was announced a short time ago. It's marketing slogan is "From Simplicity to the Extreme" which says little these days as all camera makers make some sort of claim about the ease of use of their equipment. Sadly though I find cameras today to be cumbersome. Not in their size or weight but in their use and interface design. Many years ago I used a Minolta XG1 and sadly I no longer have it but this camera was truly simplicity to the extreme. Another camera I remember using a few times was a Minolta XD11. With both cameras, a couple of dials on the top plate allowed me to shoot in aperture priority, shutter-speed priority or fully manual. I could select the ISO, set a self-timer and stop-down the lens to see the depth of field quickly and easily without even taking my eye away from the viewfinder. To put it simply, these cameras were truly simple.
My current camera, a Sony Alpha 700, is nowhere near so simple in its usability. It's not too bad compared to a lot of other cameras out there but it's not a XG1 or XD11. Of course I have to say that I am far more successful in capturing images with the Sony than I ever was with the Minoltas. I have far fewer misses (having said that, the original of the image on this post was one such miss). And I could possibly reduce the misses to near zero if I used the preview screen; I don't because I like to be surprised, later —half the fun of photography for me was getting the film developed and seeing the results for the first time, always a bitter-sweet experience.
Anyway, Fujifilm is not telling us much about the X100 yet. There's a lot of talk about the "hybrid" viewfinder but I don't care about that. I have heard that there is no need to have the LCD screen turned on to shoot photos and that might mean no need for menus and I care about that. From the photos it looks like this camera has simple dials on the top plate and an aperture ring on the lens itself, I care about that. I like simplicity, I consider myself a simple man with simple tastes, I enjoy a simple life and I am grateful for having relatively simple needs. For me, simplicity is connected to perfection, not in the sense of achieving a technically perfect image but in the sense of having nothing getting in the way of seeing. As Antoine de Saint-Exupery once said, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
I'm feeling a little hopeful that, maybe, there is a camera designer out there who remembers how worthwhile it is to keep photography simply simple.

Move NY Campaign Seeks Interviews
Wednesday, 23 January 2013 19:26
From: Alex Matthiessen
The Move NY campaign (to modernize NY's regional transportation system) is producing a video for the campaign that will be posted on the campaign's website (launching in less than a month) and spread virally to the maximum extent possible. We have some good interviews but there are a few categories of commuter type we are missing so if you know any folks who fit one of the four descriptions below, please send us his/her contact info as soon as possible. This is their moment for 15 minutes of serious fame!
We are looking for interviewees for a video that would highlight the importance of New York's transportation system, spotlight the stress and underfunding the system is currently experiencing, and the need for a new plan for funding the updating and expansion of the system.
We are looking for individuals who can speak on camera about how their lives and commutes are affected by the current problems with the system. Specifically, we are looking for the following "types":
- A commuter who regularly uses the Throg's Neck or Whitestone bridges who has no/few other options to travel between the Bronx and Queens, and is forced to pay increasingly high and unfair tolls.
- A "(Wo)Man with A Van": a plumber, delivery guy, etc. who makes frequent trips into and out of the Manhattan Central Business District (south of 60th Street) and who would be able to testify to the increased revenues and numbers of trips s/he could make with if there was less traffic
- A taxi driver who could speak about the loss of revenue from sitting in traffic and how his business would be better if he could cruise through Manhattan easily, picking up and dropping off "fares" (passengers) faster.
- A Long Island Commuter: either (a) an LIRR commuter who could testify to the difficulty of accessing the CBD while the system was down after Sandy, or (b) a driver who could talk about how congested the roads and highways became after the storm because train riders were forced to drive.

Heard about this place from a friend and heard the food was good. Ive been before but never paid the food much mind but glad I tried it. I got the jerk chicken plate and my girlfriend got the salad. Both were so so tasty and was just a nice lax place to grab a meal. Didn't hurt that the weather was nice and it was outside. Definitely will be back when im craving spicy food.
Posted by S.C. on 07/16/2013
No table service when we came, so standing around waiting and waiting for service was by far the least fun part of our evening. Ordered the jerk chicken plate - pretty good value ($12 I think) and tasty. The burger was small and forgettable for $10, but not bad. They were out of the ingredients for two cocktails I ordered, so I went with something else and hated it. I ordered something different and thankfully one of the bartenders stopped the one serving me from charging me for it. Got a pitcher of Brooklyn Ale for $15, damn good deal! The outdoor space was full on a Tuesday at 7pm and I expect it's crowded on the wknds. I will definitely be returning and am excited to try their other drink specials ($3 mimosas sat-sun till 4pm, among others). Welcome addition to the 'hood (and replacement to Loreley)

In October 2012 Pink Light Burlesque will be bringing a multimedia presentation to the legendary 92nd Street Y!
The New York School of Burlesque/The Bishop of Burlesque Present
Pink Light Burlesque
October 27, 8 pm
This glamourous and inspiring evening will feature live demonstrations, video, storytelling, and performances from Pink Light program participants and seasoned performers.
Pink Light Burlesque is a program founded by The New York School of Burlesque offering free classes to breast cancer patients and survivors. Burlesque celebrates the human drive to amuse, provoke, charm, and seduce. The Pink Light Burlesque project invites survivors to take classes to experience the joyous and body-loving fun so many burlesque students embrace.
These classes are held in honor of Jennie Lee, the founder of The Burlesque Hall of Fame, who passed away from Breast Cancer in 1990. We are not yet a nonprofit, but we gratefully accept donations for specific documentable purposes, as we are preparing to launch into our first session for 2012. For instance, Duane Park donated funds to pay for our studio rental for our first series, and significant support was provided by Night Owls, Champagne Riot and The Friends & Family of Diane Naegel.

During his rookie season back in 2002, quarterback Patrick Ramsey came off the bench for the Redskins and shocked the LP Field crowd.
In relief of Danny Wuerffel, Ramsey made his NFL debut and completed 20 of 34 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns. The Redskins beat the Titans, giving Tennessee a 1-4 start and sparking owner Bud Adams to criticize Coach Jeff Fisher and his staff.
In Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Ramsey will play at LP Field for the first time since his NFL debut.
"That was a long time ago, but I remember the game well," said Ramsey, a first-round pick by the Redskins that year. "I remember being surprised that everybody was so surprised I played well, you know what I mean? I expected to play well when I went in there, so I didn't think it was as big a deal as everybody else did."
These days, Ramsey is competing with Vince Young for the No. 2 spot behind starter Kerry Collins. He returned to LP Field as a member of the Jets in 2006, but didn't play. The Titans signed him this offseason; he'd spent the past two seasons with the Broncos.
Ramsey is expected to enter Saturday's game at some point in the third quarter, after Collins and Young play. Ramsey completed 8 of 10 passes for 72 yards against the Bills last Sunday.
His goal this preseason is no secret.
"I would like to be the No.2 guy," he said. "I am not going to sit here and make any bones about it. And it is not easy to be relaxed because I want to make that happen. That's my goal and that is what I am trying to accomplish.
"All I can do is try and play the position as well as I am capable of doing it. That is all I can do in the position I am in. I think I've have had a good couple of weeks, but there are always things you want to do better. I'm just going to keep working and we'll see how things play out."

Tolstoy, in the beginning of Anna Karenina, says "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
I do not know if he was a gardener, but in terms of weather, it certainly applies.
I know exactly how I would like the seasons to go in my garden—the gentle, frequent rains, the early warmth that does not turn immediately into blazing sun, all the plants sprouting in their proper orders, starting with bloodroot and trillium and ending with milkweed and Joe Pye Weed. The peas are ready for harvest as the beans are starting to sprout, and by the time the peas are completely spent and ready to be chopped at the roots, the beans are taking over the trellises and the tomatoes are flowering.
And indeed, some years it does this.
Every other year, it fails, and it fails spectacularly in a new way every time.*
There was the year that it never froze so that the asters were still going in late January and I was planting onions in a warm rain on Valentine's Day. It was summer by April and the spring ephemerals emerged into already-leafed out woodlands.
And there was the year it frosted late and froze the buds on the magnolia and the peas wouldn't sprout at all.
And last year it rained and rained and rained, almost daily, and I never turned on a hose in the garden and some people's gardens were actually washed away. Plants rotted in the ground. I did not get any peas that year either, and the tomatoes got ten feet tall and had to be trained on trellises and then suddenly it stopped raining and all those shallow root systems stopped working and the garden went brown and crackly by late June.
This year, of course, the weather is bizarre and it is different than any prior year, because spring and summer are happening simultaneously, which is not usual. It was cold until well after the last frost date, and then suddenly everything had to flower all at once. Bees starved and now are faced with a ridiculous feast.
The peas and the beans both are covered in pods. Peas and tomatoes, at the same time? These two do not coexist in my world, particularly not when the cucumbers are still putting out their second sets of leaves. I had spring ephemerals going at the same time as coneflower and holly. The Carolina allspice, which is usually done fairly early, is going and going setting weird ugly fruits and going some more. The first sowing of beets is only now ready for harvest, but the daikons have already bolted. The blueberries aren't even ripe and the raspberries are already coming in as tiny, dusty magenta balls.
I blinked and missed the strawberries, but then, I always do.
It is as if the garden is determined to have both spring and summer, but since winter overran the allotted springtime, they just threw spring in on top of summer. Purple milkweed came out and bloomed while butterfly-weed is still barely above ground. My carpet of Green-and-Gold "Eco-Lacquered Spider" (a weird, aggressive native ground cover, but good for where I wanted it) went through its usual spring madness and then died suddenly down, as if it were already high summer.
There are fledglings everywhere, and the tadpoles have their first set of legs. The whippoorwills are calling madly from the woods, and a chuck-widows-will joins in now and again. The moths that had swarmed the porch lights have suddenly all gone off somewhere else and there are only a handful of species showing up, where there used to be a dozen or more a night.
It is all very strange.
Perhaps the day will come, when I've been a gardener for many years, when I will see seasons piled on top of each other like this, and I will go "Aha! This is like the spring of '14! I remember that!"
And then, presumably, some young gardener will look at me with vague dislike and say "Yes, but what do I DO about it?"
It seems unlikely—though not impossible—that my future self will know the answer.
*The Anna Karenina Principle, incidentally, is an actual thing used to describe, among other things, why so few animals can actually be domesticated—to be a good candidate, an animal must meet every single criterion. Throw in one monkey wrench–failure to breed well in captivity, a weird mating ritual that can't be done on the farm, a difficult dietary requirement—and boom, no domestic zebra or moose or whatever for you.

Student from Mongolia Missing in Maplewood
|Dulguun Sukhee
Detective Kerry Daniels of the Maplewood police tells the Daily RFT that Dulguun Sukhee, 20, left the apartment he shared with another Mongolian friend that evening on foot on the way to the Maplewood library.
"We don't know if he ever made it to the library," Daniels says. "Unfortunately his cell phone has been turned off."
The roommate reported him missing. He wasn't enrolled in college, but planned to attend in the spring. Other than his roommate, Sukhee didn't have friends or family around. And the police have not gotten a single call about him.
"Hopefully someone will see him if he's lost his way," Daniels says.
Dulguun Sukhee, 20, was last seen heading to the Maplewood library on foot on Dec. 21. He was carrying a black backpack with a computer in it, and no driver's license. He was wearing a dark green coat, blue jeans and white and blue sneakers. He's about 5'5" and 150 pounds. Anyone with information should call (314) 645-3000.

Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), and IT distributor EET Group have signed a distribution agreement to provide Milestone XProtect IP video offerings in 16 European countries. EET is already established as a successful distributor of Milestone IP video surveillance software in the Nordics, and with the new agreement the two companies now expand the partnership to cover many more countries in Europe.
"Based on our many years of successful collaboration with EET in the Nordic market, it was a natural next step for EET and Milestone to take this proven template to other European markets. EET's expertise in the IP video surveillance field and harnessing the many advantages of the Milestone open platform will help fuel the rapid growth of transition from analog to IP-based solutions in these regions," says Lawrence de Guzman, Director of Sales Operations at Milestone Systems.
The agreement ensures that EET's dealers in Europe can offer Milestone IP video surveillance software to support the strong, high-end camera brands EET carries, such as Axis, IQinVision, Sony, Pelco, Mobotix, and Ernitec. The distribution includes the following markets: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Switzerland, England, Belgium, Austria and Czech Republic.
"Our ambition is to become the largest distributor of IP video surveillance in Europe, so I am very excited that we can now support our dealers in Europe with Milestone's market leading software," says Michael Kragh, Director of Security and Video Surveillance at EET. "Milestone is one of the most well-reputed companies in the industry and our dealers have directly requested that we start selling Milestone open platform software in the rest of Europe. We want to work with the industry's top manufacturers. Milestone solutions span a full spectrum of needs, and we see a big market for additional products to integrate, such as license plate recognition and Point-of-Sale to prevent loss in retail businesses."
Video surveillance accounts for 24 million Euro of EET Group's annual revenue. Within the next three years EET expects its video surveillance income to reach almost 53 million Euro, with particularly high expectations for strong business in England, Germany and Switzerland.

Attention Charm School fans: while we haven't given you the finale, we did give you a treat Sunday night in the clips show. That hooky beat that's been stuck in your head since Sunday? That's R&B siren Emily King's first single, "Walk in My Shoes" and it turns out she's a fan of the show, too. "Mo'Nique's the best part of the show," says King. "[But] they all stand out in their own way," she says of the show's contestants. As for how she'd be? "I'd probably be the quiet one, watching it all go down, not feeding into the drama."

GCC librarians have developed a 45-minute, interactive instruction module on the subject of Academic honesty. To schedule an instruction session on this topic or any other, see Information literacy & research instruction. See below for other resources on academic honesty and plagiarism.
What is Plagiarism?
"Plagiarism is an act of copyright infringement and is tantamount to stealing. When using a source, regardless of its medium (i.e. paper, microfilm, online, art work, musical works, dramatic works, film, etc.), and not giving credit to the creator (i.e. not properly citing the source) you are committing plagiarism."-from the Plagiarism Web Page at the University of South Dakota (http://www.usd.edu/~cfowles/plag.html)
Many discussions of academic dishonesty differentiate between two types of plagiarism: accidental and intentional. The first occurs when students are unaware of the need to credit the necessary sources. The second type occurs when students are aware that they are "cheating" but choose to take the risk in the hopes that they will not get caught or that the penalties will be minimal.
The GCC Student Handbook states:
"Academic honesty is a basic and absolute expectation of the faculty and staff at Greenfield Community College. The college upholds the definition of plagiarism published by the Modern Language Association: 'To use another person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source.' . . . In the case of an incident, these offenses should be first reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee for jurisdiction."
The handbook lists the steps that the college will follow in resolving a case of suspected plagiarism, including the use of sanctions.
Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism http://www.ilstu.edu/~ddhesse/wpa/positions/WPAplagiarism.pdf
This is a best practices statement from the Council of Writing Program Administrators and includes a definition, causes, responsibilities, and suggested practices.

- http://www.library.ualberta.ca/guides/plagiarism/detecting/index.cfm (U. of Alberta)
Lists many telltale signs of plagiarism and describes ways to track down evidence about a suspect paper.
- http://www.google.com
Some professors have found this search engine effective in finding the source of material plagiarized on the web, particularly if the student paper contains one or more distinctive phrases.
On plagiarism detection tools and guide to papermills
In recent years, numerous companies have developed software allowing educators to search parts of the Internet for any writings that closely resemble a student's paper. (To test an entire paper, professors must require students to provide their papers on disk or by e-mail.) Most companies will allow professors to try out their services a few times for free. Although these websites can be successful in quickly tracking down instances of plagiarism, they are not a perfect solution to the plagiarism problem.
One shortcoming of the tools is that they are not able to search large amounts of the Internet-the "invisible Web." For example, plagiarism involving scholarly articles found in GCC Library's Online Databases (including EBSCOhost and InfoTrac) would not be caught with these tools.
Some academics are also concerned about the ethics, and even the legality, of making students' papers available to these private companies. In 2002, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported that a prominent plagiarism detection tool, Turnitin.com, had come under fire because it copies submitted student papers for its database. Concerns over copyright and privacy led UC Berkeley to decide not to subscribe to that service. ("Plagiarism-Detection Tool Creates Legal Quandary," by Andrea L. Foster, Chronicle of Higher Education Vol. 48, no. 36, 5/17/02).
In addition, some verification sites may be less than scrupulous. The University of Alberta's website suggests that a few could actually be taking submitted papers and reselling them at papermills. Therefore, professors who choose to use these tools will want to avoid those that are not run by respected academics or organizations, and may wish to submit only a few carefully selected sentences from the student's paper rather than the entire paper. (http://www.library.ualberta.ca/guides/plagiarism/detecting/index.cfm U. of Alberta)
An overview of various plagiarism detection sites is provided by librarian Sharon Stoerger at http://www.web-miner.com/plagiarism.
The following are examples of online plagiarism detection tools:
Calling itself "the world's leading plagiarism prevention system," this site contains praise from Library Journal. It was created by scholars at UC Berkeley, and is run by former educators, researchers, and business people. Professors can receive one month free with 5 tests of papers. As with the sites below, it does not test against full-text databases including EBSCOhost and Infotrak.
Glatt Plagiarism Program was created by an American professor, who continues to run it.
This site provides a tool called Eve2.
Wordcheck was given a low rating in 2001 by a British team evaluating plagiarism detection tools.
Information from the U. of Virginia about a possible connection between Plagiserve and paper mills.
Papermills–sites that sell or provide free student papers
Professors may find it useful to familiarize themselves with websites from which students can obtain papers and to let their students know that they are aware of these sites. Some professors routinely dissect papers from paper mills in their classes.
http://www.coastal.edu/library/mills2.htm (Coastal Carolina U.)
Provides a listing and information about over 250 Internet papermills.
http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/infosrv/lue/sites.html#clues (Bowling Green State U.)

The efforts of social activists and mental health professionals to institute population-level social change, such as reducing poverty, building better schools, and establishing more effective substance abuse programs, often fail. They tend to focus on individuals and not real-life community conditions; they fail to take into account stakeholders' efforts to maintain the status " and they do not develop concrete strategies to build coalitions to alter policies. These unsuccessful attempts at change can leave citizens, community groups, and healthcare professionals feeling dispirited and overwhelmed. Principles of Social Changeis written for those who are impassioned and driven by social justice issues in their communities and seek practical solutions. Leonard A. Jason, a leading community psychologist, demonstrates how social change can be accomplished and fostered by observing five key principles: (1) determine the nature of the change desired, (2) identify who holds the power, (3) create coalitions, (4) be patient but persistent, and (5) measure your success. Describing these principles through first-hand accounts of the experiences of people who have worked on a range of social justice issues, Jason gives unique insight and presents a comprehensive approach toward the development of social and community interventions, such as protecting the well-being of children, providing affordable housing, combating abuses of power, and cleaning up the environment.Principles of SocialChangeprovides answers about what citizens and community action groups can do in collaboration with healthcare professionals to address these seemingly intractable problems. It is essential reading for community psychologists, social activists, policy makers, and students and trainees in these fields.

Beam Filtering Fingers
The "fingers" are located at the center of the third quadupole of the
RMS and coincide with the momentum focal plane. The beam, which passed
through the target but produced no interactions, is focussed according
to its momentum/charge ratio. The "fingers" are metal rods which can
be moved to coincide with these focii and intercept the beam without
strongly impacting the transmission of the reaction products from
fusion-evaporation reactions. In initial tests, the system has been
shown to work although the performance of the fingers depends strongly on
the spread in momenta caused by the beam passing through the target.
Thus, the thinner the target is, the better. This system should be used
when both beam and reaction products are transmitted beyond the first
electric dipole of the RMS and have different momentum distributions.
This feature has never been used because the targets we use are
typically 0.3 - 1.0 mg/cm2 and the momentum spread is large.
A schematic sketch of the fingers inside Q3 and data taken with a position sensitive detector at the achromatic focal plane. The horizonal spectrum in the middle is the normalized one-dimensional spatial distribution of recoils at the achromatic focus with and without fingers blocking charge state 23+. The normalized count rate spectrum on the right displays the number of recoils reaching the achromat as the position of one finger inside Q3 is changed. Note the dips in this spectrum caused by the fingers intercepting the focussed beam.

Video: Jim Lahey Makes No-Knead Pizza At Home
If there's one thing any home pizza maker can tell you, it's that its nearly impossible to get the same bubbly, crisp, charring that you get from a real-deal wood fired Neapolitan pizza oven. Check out this video where Jim Lahey shows us that not only is it possible, it's actually pretty damn easy to do. More

Most men become perfectionists when it comes to their attire. They sometimes pursue too much to achieve that manly look and practice it too. Although it is about finding a suitable clothing supplier and a handful of tips, real men focus hard on the details of their appearance to succeed in perfecting the gentleman appearance.
Developing a good sense of style is necessary to attain which adds a mature look to your outfit. You do need a set of attractive clothing-which does not mean expensive apparel-to impress the crowd around you. Sober and decent choices are well appreciated.
