Athletics Giving at Fairfield
Competition can be fierce.
Just ask any coach or student-athlete and they will tell you that competing at their highest level takes hard work, discipline, and support.
Each day, student-athletes work to achieve greatness through time in the weight room, watching film and pouring over scouting reports, and training on the field, on the court, or in the water.
But hard work and discipline are not always enough. Support from outside the lines is also vital to success for any student-athlete. On campus, coaches, academic advisors, and faculty combine to help them reach their athletic and academic goals.
Even with this support from the campus community, student-athletes still need additional help from friends, alumni, and parents. By making a gift to Friends of Fairfield Athletics, you, too, can play an important role. Your gift will provide enhancements to the general athletic fund or any specific varsity program or club sport you designate.

GREAT BEND Following approval from the Carthage Central School District Board of Education, the Carthage All-Sports Booster Club will be able to profit from ticket sales at major sporting events.
We showed them how much the All-Sports Booster Club has actually given back to the district. Since 2010 ... theyve given $55,000 back to community, back to the athletic department and back to the school itself, said Brian K. Serota, booster club vice president.
The decision was made during a special meeting Friday. According to an agenda for the BOE meeting, the item of discussion was ticket takers. Mr. Serota said the booster club had requested the special meeting since district Athletic Director Stephen J. Nolan and club president Garry Schwartz were unable to attend the Sept. 23 regular meeting. At that time, the proposal to reinstate ticket takers at high school sporting events was debated but no vote was cast.
We wanted more information from the booster club and athletic director, explained Board of Education President Barbara A. Lofink. The athletic director wasnt there, Garry wasnt there. Basically thats why we left it.
Beginning Oct. 4, Mr. Serota said, admission to varsity football, boys and girls basketball and lacrosse games will cost $1 per person. Admission will be free to students with valid student IDs, senior citizens and children under the age of five.
Since the proposal was accepted at the last minute, Mr. Serota said, the booster club elected not to take tickets at the homecoming game that evening. However, they accepted donations, which brought the club almost $4,000. Mr. Serota said the donations would purchase new uniforms for the boys and girls basketball teams.
Its not about us being money makers or hoarding, he explained. Just the things weve done this year we bought stuff for the swim team, new timing clocks at the endzone it was all purchased by the booster club ... its all stuff were being able to give back.
According to Ms. Lofink, the cost to pay ticket takers will be covered by the booster club. Ticket takers are paid $40 per hour and must be teachers union members under union contracts. Ms. Lofink said the booster club agreed to reimburse the district $50 per hour for ticket takers. Previously the cost was split between the two groups.
Ms. Lofink and Mr. Serota acknowledged that most local schools charge $2 at their sporting events.

|Evaluation and Effectiveness
Back to Teaching Quality main page.
The responsibility for ensuring teachers meet high-performance expectations rests on many shoulders: while teacher preparation programs must give teachers an adequate foundation, ongoing professional development must deepen teachers' skills and keep them current. Nonetheless, the fact remains that neither of these steps completely ensures every teacher is meeting what is required of them. As a result, states must set standards for teacher evaluation to guarantee that teachers are performing at the highest level possible and to intervene where teachers are not.

A Summer Camp To Explore the Universe
by AMNH on
Call it the ultimate space camp: for one week this summer, a group of middle school students will learn how to use the Museum's Digital Universe Atlas, a three-dimensional, scientifically accurate map of the cosmos, and discover how the atlas is built from data gathered by scientists around the world. Then, using gaming laptops, the students will create their very own digital tour to a favorite spot of the universe, which will be shown in a special evening program in the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater on Friday, July 13.

Were dinosaurs already undergoing a long-term decline before an asteroid hit at the end of the Cretaceous about 65.5 million years ago? A new study led by Museum scientists gives a multifaceted answer.
A Taste of Tequila and Chili Peppers
by AMNH on
Chili peppers, a spicy fruit featured in cuisines around the world, were used in Mexico long before going global, as was the agave-derived distilled drink tequila. This week, the Museum's Adventures in the Global Kitchen series presents Tequila and Chilies, which will include a conversation with Juan Carlos Aguirre, the executive director of Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders. Aguirre, who will be providing samplings of chili-based dishes from across Mexico alongside tequila from Richard Sandoval Restaurants, recently offered a quick history lesson about the ubiquitous chili pepper.

France ease past Italy with comfortable win at the Stade de France
France scored three second half tries to ease past Italy with a comfortable 30-10 victory in Paris. Louis Picamoles, Wesley Fofana and Hugo Bonneval all scored within ten minutes as France showed a clinical side that they lacked in the first half.
Jean-Marc Doussain kicked France to a 9-3 lead at halftime as both sides looked fairly well matched, but in the second half France arrived, blitzing Italy with three tries in ten minutes.
Picamoles scored from a maul three minutes into the half, before Fofana sprinted down the wing for the second, then helped to set up Bonneval, who scored on debut. All three tries were converted.
Italy scored a late try through Tommaso Iannone, but the match ended on a fairly dull and sour note as two players were red carded for head butting as a scrum broke up.
Rabah Slimani and Michele Rizzo were both sent off by referee Jaco Peyper, who referred to both the TMO and touchjudge Craig Joubert for advice. Sebastien Vahaamahina was yellow carded for kicking the ball away shortly before that.
Official extended match highlights (8 minutes long) are now updated below
With players like Picamoles and Fofana making big impacts, do you think France are now serious contenders for the Championship, or is it still too early to say?

I was disappointed with the red cards, there was nothing in either of the contacts, but I was glad to see BOTH props got red cards and not just the one! Very disappointed by the Italian prop, I can only assume something happened to cause him to 'headbutt' in the first place, they were in a perfect position to score and they cocked it up... could have been a slightly better score for Italy..
Thought the whole incident could have been dealt with in a Nigel Owens fashion: 'You're both acting very immature.'
Hope the incident is left at just the red cards..
Just noticed next week the Wales v France match is on a Friday night - Don't remember this before???

...least it's not on Valetines day (otherwise I'd be in trouble!)
stroudos February 10, 2014 4:50 am
Exactly. Nothing in it. Just a couple of front-rowers getting acquainted with each other. Waste of TMO time. Fortunately it was late enough in the game to not have any impact on the match itself. Can't really criticise the officials, they're just implementing the laws of the game, but give me Owens's common-sense approach any day of the week.
DanKnapp February 10, 2014 8:29 am
The Slimani/Rizzo incident was a case of two men trying to hurt each other, albeit none-too-successfully.
In the first case the referee is widely applauded for letting it go. In the second incident I though both men deserved red cards, because using the head as a weapon is a red card offence. But the difference between the two was pretty minimal... Who would want to be a referee?!
DrG February 10, 2014 12:41 pm
Definitely can't criticise Peyper et al for the red cards, same as technically speaking Owens could of justifiably given a red card last week.. The laws are there and the referee's can interpret them, however in the Owens instance, I'd say they were interpreted very well; backed up perhaps by the lack of a citing.
This incident is 'worse' and I can see where Dan is coming from, but to me it didn't seem like they were actually trying to hurt each other. other than a 'we'll keep bashing heads to see whose is harder' way... Seemed more like a 'you shove me I'll shove you back' sort of niggle. I agree it was worse than the Huget/Brown incident, but I just think it could of perhaps been dealt with by at most 2 yellow cards - As it happens, they'd still be off for the rest of the match..
@Reality, I'll have to have another look. Like I said it seemed more likely that the French prop would start it, only because Italy were on the front foot. Very stupid from both of them though.
flanker2712 February 10, 2014 1:59 pm
DrG February 10, 2014 5:22 pm
You can imagine that the referees' felt they needed to punish the punches, but couldn't do so without first punishing the headbutts....and as we all know, use of the head = red...
Reality February 10, 2014 11:31 am
But in any case, I'd say it was stupid from both players, regardless of who started it.
Oliver February 10, 2014 10:00 am
I dont know whether that's reassuring (they can score whenever they want) or worrisome (they can fall apart anytime).
I mean, I was quite worried after that first half...and then 3 tries in 10 minutes.
It was the same in reverse against England: brillant start, followed by much struggling, then finally a try when it counts.
About Italy: I thought Orquero looked more dangerous than Allan.
The one thing I'll remember about this game: that last try. superb running and passing.
s_conner February 10, 2014 12:11 pm
I thought the Azzurri actually played well enough for the score to be closer, but lacked the star power and cutting edge to turn their territory into points. Garcia looked weak in the centre and Allen didn't play well, but the pack worked very hard (the prop was awesome), and the wingers looked alright. Orquera should start as he kicked an excellent conversion and ran hard at the line to get his runners going once he came on.
One last point, Parisse isn't what he once was.
flanker2712 February 10, 2014 2:03 pm
Frenchie February 10, 2014 7:15 pm
of course a bias Italian commentator would think that the French did start…sure...

The expense of having students involved in activities like cheerleading might be costing parents too much money, according to district officials who met at the regular school board meeting on June 14.
"I am very concerned about the number of camps that kids are attending, and their costs," said superintendent David Armstrong. "The costs for the camps and other items are getting out of hand for many parents."
Many athletic and cheerleading camps have started to range into prices burdening many parents. The superintendent pointed out one example. It will cost the parents of cheerleaders from Mont Harmon Junior High who attend a summer camp $1,000.
But even if students don't attend camps the costs of being involved can be high.
Uniforms for cheerleaders, for instance, can range between $1,100 and $1,500.
"I think some of this expense is getting out of hand and I want to try to reign it in next year," stated Armstrong. "Parents are getting hit hard for money."
Some parents not only complain about the cost of uniforms and training, but the ongoing expenses associated with the kinds of things cheerleaders and others must provide.
For example, cheerleaders often must pay for providing snacks, gifts or other items for home teams before games.
Nationally, the cost of extra activities has been recognized for a long time.
In 1997, the Jackson Sun published an article on the costs for extracurricular activities, particularly cheerleading. The article opened the floodgates for people and school districts to evaluate the costs of students participating. Since that time costs have grown even more.
Today parents who have kids on a cheerleading squad or on a dance team can expect thousands of dollars of expenses in just uniforms alone. Often drill teams and cheerleading units will have two or more uniforms for various kinds of weather and events. With the costs involved a student involved in cheerleading throughout high school could spend in the neighborhood of $4000 through high school just on uniforms.
"The other problem we have is that some parents pay for the uniforms while others don't have the money so fundraisers are used to generate the funds," said Armstrong. "The uniforms parents buy are theirs and the kids take them with them when they leave school. But the ones that are paid for with school fundraisers should be the property of the school, yet they too leave. In addition, squads often change uniforms from year to year, and so the older ones couldn't be used even if they were left behind. These are all things we need to examine."
Over the years to cover many of the costs different groups have done fundraisers in the school district as well, but those activities also have created problems, largely because the district has a protocol for handling money that comes in this way.
"Schools need to follow policy when it comes to fundraising," Armstrong told the board. "That policy includes filling out the proper forms, providing specific reasons for the fundraiser and getting the proper approvals."
The superintendent said because of the problems he is seeking a change in policy so that he sees the paperwork on all fundraisers that are taking place. In the past those fundraisers only had to be approved by the principals, but he said he would like the requests to come to the superintendent's office as well.
On another issue the superintendent presented to the board the general U-PASS (Utah Performance Assessment System for Students) results for the state.
"Only 5 percent of the schools in the state did not pass," stated Armstrong. "The problem with that is that now the state board seems to think the failure rate wasn't high enough and they are raising the bar for what schools need from students to succeed."
According to state board of education records all the applicable schools in Carbon School District passed this year, but that didn't keep the board from discussing what could come. Comments from various members of the board reflected the fact that they felt that at times the state was just looking to fail schools.
The board also took up the issue of a civil rights review team that visited Carbon High School this spring and the subsequent report they issued concerning the school.
The team that came to Carbon High works out of the state board of education and evaluates schools as to how they are doing when it comes to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (and the Title IX education amendment of 1972), and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
"The things they found were things that they said we could cure over a reasonable amount of time," said Judy Mainord, secondary curriculum director. "They only visited Carbon High but their findings are applicable to all the schools in the district."
The 44 page report noted a few things that the team felt needed correction. One of the major things was that the school (and district) did not put enough emphasis on reminding parents, employees, potential employees, students and others on documents that the district does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex or disability. The team advised that the district should place this information on more documents it produces and should run a notice in the newspaper periodically stating this fact.
The report also said that the school should develop a process to ensure that all awards and scholarships are not awarded based in any way on the sex of the individual getting the award.
The report also noted that there were some minor deficiencies in the area of those with disabilities.
"Many of the items can be solved easily, a few will take some time," said Mainord. "Some are things we are already working on."
Some of the problems noted were with facilities like having handicapped restroom access.
"The school was built in 1959 and some of the areas are not yet completely revamped to fit handicapped codes," said Deon Kone, the districts maintenance director. "However everything we remodel or change meets those codes as we do it."
The principal of Carbon High, Robert Cox and Mainord have already responded to the state board on how the deficiencies will be solved and have provided a basic timetable for their resolution.

Precor Strengthens Preva® Networked Fitness Solution with Three New Capabilities
Preva Mobile Application and Preva Token Make it Easier for Exercisers to Track Fitness Goals; In-Workout Messaging Enables Operators to Create Targeted, Interactive Communications with Members
LAS VEGAS, NV — International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association's (IHRSA) annual convention and tradeshow, Booth #1573 — March 20, 2013 — Precor, a leading home and commercial fitness equipment manufacturer, today unveiled three new enhancements to Preva®, the industry's first open platform networked fitness solution with more than 25 million logged workouts since its launch in 2010. All three enhancements leverage the power of the Preva platform to help operators strengthen communication, increase retention and enhance engagement with exercisers of all ages and fitness levels:
Preva Mobile—an iPhone application that allows exercisers to track their entire fitness program from anywhere, including workouts on non-Precor equipment, group classes or outside fitness activities, such as hiking. Preva Mobile is available for download from iTunes in April 2013.
Preva Token—an RFID-enabled fob that enables exercisers to sign in to Preva on any networked Precor 880 cardio line console simply by swiping the token, rather than manually entering personal information. Preva tokens will be available to exercisers from fitness facilities worldwide, starting in April 2013.
- In-Workout Messaging—a new communications capability of Message Manager that allows operators to create and schedule targeted messages to exercisers while they work out. Each interactive message appears at a specific time and directs viewers to a web page for more information. In-Workout Messaging is available as part of the Preva 3.0 software release.
"As more fitness enthusiasts embrace technology as an enabler for achieving their workout goals, Precor continues to innovate and deepen in value for exercisers and operators," said Brent Brooks, Vice President of Networked Fitness at Precor. "We are constantly developing and refining interactive experiences for exercisers and business-building capabilities for the fitness facilities they visit. These latest enhancements to Preva are ideal extensions to what's already become the standard by which other networked fitness technologies are measured."
Preva Mobile—A Perfect Workout Companion in Any Location
Preva developed Preva Mobile to extend the facility's value by giving their exercisers a way to log and track workouts even when they're away. Preva Mobile extends the reach of Preva Personal Accounts (introduced in 2012) by providing exercisers the ability to enter and earn rewards for all their fitness activities, not just cardio workouts on Precor equipment. Using Preva Mobile, they can log workouts on non-Precor equipment or other fitness activities such as swimming, playing a sport or participating in a group class. They can set fitness goals, track progress, win achievement badges, and save their favorite workouts via the cloud, no matter where they are.
For operators, Preva Mobile deepens customer relationships by providing a broader platform for exercisers to manage all fitness activities, not just those completed at the facility.
Preva Token—Just Swipe and Go for the Fastest Start to a Personalized Workout
Preva Tokens are RFID-enabled key fobs that make it dramatically easy and quick for exercisers to sign into their Preva accounts. A simple swipe or tap of the Preva Token key fob on the exercise equipment reader immediately signs the exerciser into his or her Preva account, giving them access to their favorite workouts, fitness goals, progress milestones and rewards before they've even had time to set down their water bottle.
For exercisers struggling to fit workouts into their daily schedule, the ease of using a Preva Token to get started is an appreciated benefit that increases usage and leads to a longer-term engagement at the fitness facility.
In-Workout Messaging—High Impact, Targeted Messaging to Drive Member Engagement
Successful fitness facility operators understand that member communications are a critical component to member satisfaction and retention. If they don't keep members apprised of new programs and promotions or conversely, bombard them with information, they risk a poor response. In-Workout Messaging expands operators' options for communicating with members by enabling them to build short messages, schedule them to appear at specific times and drive response by directing exercisers to a web page.
An unobtrusive message appears once at the beginning of a workout so exercisers can interact with the message before starting the more intense portion of their workout. Exercisers need to take action for the message to disappear—by either choosing the "Learn More" option or pushing the "OK" button—which enables operators to measure response.
Besides the scheduling function, In-Workout Messaging significantly builds on existing Preva messaging capabilities by adding custom images to each message and linking directly to any web page of choice.
Preva Delivers Optimum Operator Benefits and Member Satisfaction
The features announced today are the latest enhancements to the Preva open platform, which delivers a state-of-the-art fitness experience to exercisers and a competitive edge to fitness facility operators. Every networked P80 console on the 880 cardio line includes all Preva features and is updated with new features remotely over the Internet, eliminating the need for upgrade or troubleshooting efforts by the fitness facility. There are no ongoing subscription fees for fitness facility operators or members.
Fitness operators using Preva are already seeing their members enthusiastically embrace the platform.
"In the time we have been using Preva, its capabilities to help retain members and keep them engaged in their workouts has become very clear," said Preston Crouser, general manager of Magnuson Athletic Club in Seattle, Washington. "I have spoken to members in the club trying to sneak in an extra workout so they can reach the weekly goal they set for themselves. Members enjoy being able to set and track goals. It keeps them accountable, and gives them the desire to run that extra mile or bike that extra five minutes."
"At Precor, we view technology through the lens of what it can do to help our customers and their exercisers achieve their goals," continued Brooks. "That's why we led the way with the industry's first open platform in 2010. By continually evolving and refining Preva, we will provide a superior networked fitness solution that meets the needs of busy exercisers and fitness facility operators alike."
Preva is backed by the strength and innovation of Precor, the industry leader in networked fitness solutions. Precor was the first fitness equipment manufacturer to launch capacitive touchscreens, bringing the fitness industry up to par with other interactive technologies. In 2010, the company unveiled its P80 console, which serves as the user interface for Preva. Last year, the company introduced Preva Net™ to deliver a wide variety of Internet content to exercisers and followed up with Preva Personal Accounts in December.
Preva Mobile is available for download at iTunes in April 2013. Exercisers can sign up for Preva accounts and receive their Preva Token starting in April at any Precor networked fitness facility worldwide with the latest software installed on their Precor 880 cardio line. For more information about Preva, please visit www.preva.com.

I stumbled across a parameter to add to the boot command line, after running setup again and seeing exactly how "hdb" is described in the partitioning setup. Or maybe I saw this description earlier in the boot up process, I can't remember:
Linux /dev/hdb=hdb4
This seems to identify the zip drive "partition" properly and boot proceeds normally.
I'm a bit hazy as to how I incorporate these extra parameters into my default boot procedure. I've logged in as root, and poked around in /etc, but I'm not having much luck at determining where or how I would insert this information.
I'd appreciate a pointer or two. Also do you think there is much chance of ever getting a Diamond Supramax 56k "winmodem type of modem" to work in Linux?

By WENDI GUERREROPrice
This past week, we went up Nine-Mile Canyon to see the sights and experience the historic places we had only heard about.
It would have been a nice, enjoyable ride if not for the white work trucks pushing 60 miles per hour, going up and down the canyon. There was more than a few times we had to slow down and hug the side of the road to avoid a collision.
Our worst fears were around the bends we couldn't see, not knowing what to expect, and praying any vehicles we encountered were not on our side of the road.
We were also passed by trucks that left us to choke on their dust from the dirt road. The whole experience left me more that a little reluctant to ever attempt a trip up there again.
I realize that these workers probably travel this road multiple times to and from the job site, but this doesn't give them the right to endanger families and sightseers.

What travelers to Sydney are saying
Sydney Hotel Deals with HotelClub.com
Sydney is renowned for its iconic Harbour Bridge, Opera House and the magnificent Sydney Harbour itself. If that is not enough there are the world famous city beaches like Bondi, Coogee and Manly – that first draws the eye, but there's a surprising depth of character just below Sydney's surface. For starters, there's historic Sydney. Circular Quay was the landing place of the First Fleet and, really, the birthplace of modern, European Australia. In The Rocks, meanwhile, you can find many world-class restaurants as well as other world class tourist attractions such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Sydney Observatory.
Sydney's nightlife is also second-to-none. From the inner-city hipster hangouts of Newtown and Surry Hills to the more decadent might spots of Kings Cross, Sydney is the place to go to let your hair down.
So, by our estimation Sydney has it all and we bet after you visit, you secretly want to live there.
Australia: Cinematic Sydney
For native sons Baz Luhrmann and Peter Weir, Sydney, New South Wales and, indeed, Australia, is much more than home but a lucid backdrop and stand-in for films like The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!, The Cars That Ate Paris and Picnic at Hanging Rock. But domestic directors are far from the only ones to shoot in Sydney and environs.
The capital of New South Wales has been visibly – and invisibly – immortalised in accidental hits (Babe, The Matrix), awkward sequels (Babe: Pig in the City, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, Mission: Impossible II, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith), flops (The Day the Earth Stood Still, Australia), Bollywood buffoonery (Dil Chahta Hai), Academy Award gems (Frost/Nixon, The Quiet American) and Hollywood blockbusters (Independence Day). Quite the eclectic list.
So without further ado, quiet on the set … action!
Sydney's Top 10
10. Australian Museum Especially good value in school holidays when puppet shows, storytelling and more reveals the country's Aboriginal and European history.
5. Chinatown Small in international terms, but still home to the best smells. Conveniently located next to the 'Ent Cent', so enjoy a meal either pre- or post-show.
9. Taronga Zoo Yes, there are other zoos in other cities around the country. But none of them, repeat none of them can offer views that compare to this.
4. Circular Quay The best place to experience the harbour is on the water. The best place to do that from is Circular Quay, for everything from ferries to sightseeing cruises to speedboats.
8. Darlinghurst The big gay scene means some of the best clubs can be found in 'Darlo'. Some of the best shopping is here as well, so get that credit card ready.
3. Bondi Beach More than just the location for a reality TV show, Bondi is one of the world's great beaches. You'll probably see some bare boobs here, but the men responsible are now aware of the importance of a low-fat diet.
7. Kings Cross It's been gentrified since its Underbelly 'glory' – and gory – days, but Sydney's sin suburb still walks on the wild side.
2. Sydney Opera House World-heritage listed, best location on the planet and home to great gigs of all genres. Nuff said.
6. Sydney Aquarium Touristy and expensive, but so well done you immediately forget that and wander happily around going 'Oooh' and 'Aaah' did you see that!'
1. Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk across it, climb over it (legally is the best way) and generally be astounded by it. Seriously, you can't be anything but.

Sydney Local
The bustling business heart of Sydney is about more than just skyscrapers and multinational business headquarters. Below the modern skyline is a cultured snapshot of the past merging with the future in sandstone gems like the Queen Victoria Building and Town Hall.
It's also here that you'll find Sydney's shopping centre. Spreading out along Pitt Street Mall, beneath the shadow of Sydney Tower, are a shopaholic's wet dream in the shape of some seriously la-di-dah boutique stores (they employ people just to open the door for you!) and more comfortably daggy high-street chains.
Largely deserted on weekends (except for the skateboarding kids in Martin Place), the CBD is also home to some of Sydney's best museums and galleries, including the Sydney Museum, the Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the ANZAC War Memorial.
Best avoided if you don't like crowds, Darling Harbour has made a valiant and mostly successful attempt to turn itself into Sydney's entertainment hub. It can get a little edgy on a Saturday night, but most of the time the many bars and restaurants boast a relaxed, feel-good vibe that is surprisingly good at getting you to spend lots of money.
During the day, Darling Harbour is often filled with families making the most of kid-friendly attractions like the Imax Cinema, Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife World. A little walk away is the Powerhouse Museum, which can't be beaten in terms of interactive exhibits.
Circular Quay
Busy, busy, busy, but also fun, fun, fun, Circular Quay is the image that pops into the head when most people think of Sydney. It's the perfect starting point for exploring the city, offering easy access to the Bridge, Opera House and Museum of Contemporary Art.
Circular Quay is also home to a number of street performers (of varying standard) and a variety of eateries from the generic fast-chains to the Michelin-starred, book-months-ahead boast-to-all-your-friends venues to some wonderful turn-up-and-they'll-squeeze-you-in-and-give-you-a-great-meal-and-an-even-better-time gems.
Surry Hills
Want to know where all the cool kids go? The answer is Surry Hills. Equally popular with trendy creative types and students (who show over inclination of wanting to grow up to be a trendy creative type), it retains enough grit and deliberately grungy dilapidation (which still attracts monster house prices) to retain its edge.
Some of Sydney's best pubs, including The Shakespeare and The Clock, can be found here. And when it comes to hangover cures required from spending time in said pubs, the Bourke Street Bakery simply can't be beaten.
Surry Hills is also the place to come for designer threads sold by the designers themselves (some serious bargains can be found this way). And if you've got an appreciation of modern Australian art, be sure to check out the Brett Whitely Studio Museum.
Sydney Eat & Drink
Icebergs Dining Room & Bar The pride of Bondi, this is serves two clienteles. Upstairs for posh nosh; downstairs for pub grub. The views are fantastic regardless.
Buon Ricordo Reckoned to be the best Italian restaurant in Sydney. There's only way to find out whether or not you agree…
Quay Officially one of the best 50 restaurants in the world. You may need to book ahead.
Catalina Oh we do like to be beside the seaside, especially when the harbour views are this good and the food matches them.
Café Sydney The best views in town – unless you count the top of the Bridge, and they don't let you take food up there.
Otto Italian cuisine and a favourite celebrity hangout. Is that Russell Crowe in the corner or just some fat bloke with a beard?
Rockpool The best of a very good bunch in.
Bather's Pavilion What's this? A brilliant dining experience found north of the Bridge? You betcha! Balmoral Beach
Guillaume at Bennelong Thought the Opera House was just for music. 'Willy's' (as we'd call it here in Oz) begs to differ.
Bilson's Go for the 10-course degustation. Stay for the wine list.
Sydney Events
The New Year's Test Match used to start on New Year's Day. Now though, we've got a much-needed extra day to get over hangovers before the action gets underway at the SCG.
The Sydney Festival in January features a combination of free and ticketed music, theatre, dance and art events.
Hit the beach for Australia Day. Sing songs. Laugh at sunburnt Poms.
Watch March's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras wend its way along Oxford Street.
Treat the family to the rides and displays at the Royal Easter Show. (Just in case you've never been to the Show in your own city…)
The ANZAC Day Dawn Service in Martin Place is a moving reminder of why we must never forget.
The Archibald Prize Exhibition runs at the Art Gallery of NSW from April to June, with famous Aussie faces brought given the artistic treatment.
Vivid Sydney transforms the city with lights and projections in June.
The walk from Bondi to Tamarama beaches becomes an outdoor art gallery in October/November with Sculpture by the Sea.
Head to the harbour for the Boxing Day start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
Watch the Bridge light up with fireworks on New Year's Eve.Circular Quay is the place to be for the party of both years!
When To Go
Sydney enjoys a mild, pleasant climate means it's perfect for visiting all year round. The city only experiences about 12 days a year when the mercury climbs to over 30°C, but humidity often makes it feel hotter in summer.
Gale force winds are not uncommon in winter. It's not such a problem in the heart of the city (although the viewing platform outside the top of the Sydney Tower won't be for the faint-hearted), but in outer regions like the Blue Mountains (100km to the west), it can be a serious issue.
Winter can also see the fog descend on Sydney. It's eerie but also rather cool to see the Bridge blanketed in a damp white shroud.
What To Miss
The Monorail – Kind of cool in its day, but as that day was 1988 it's a bit pointless now, especially as its stops are within easy walking distance of each other.
24-hour pubs – Unless you're looking for trouble, these nonstop drinking holes are best avoided.
Sightseeing Cruises – They take you around and give you a spiel on the sights, but you get the same view and a more interesting commentary on the commuter ferries and from a friendly local.
Getting Around
You will have a lot of Sydney car rental options at the Airport and in different suburbs of the city.
Sydney is eminently walkable, but if you don't have the energy, the City Circle offers regular trains around (and under) the heart of the city. Despite Sydneysiders constantly complaining about public transport, it's actually not bad.
Sundays are 'Family Fundays'. If you're an adult travelling with at least one child, you're whole group pays just $2.50 per person for travel all day on trains, buses and ferries.
Get up early to explore Circular Quay, The Rocks and Darling Harbour without the crowds. If you're feeling particularly energetic, join the many early morning joggers taking the scenic waterfront path around The Domain and Botanic Gardens and into the City. Stop to catch your breath at Mrs Macquarie's Chair as the sun rises over the water and you'll realise why they call this the most beautiful harbour in the world.
Bondi Beach, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House – Sydney's residents are justly proud of their city's world famous landmarks. Take time to explore Sydney and you'll discover an exciting, culturally diverse city with delicious ethnic cuisine, great shopping, excellent nightlife and first-rate accommodation options from budget to five-star hotels.
The iconic Sydney Opera House is a drawcard for Sydneysiders and tourists. Watch an opera inside, quaff an Aussie Semillon on the concourse or grab some snaps of the Opera House's sail-roofed glory. Sharing the limelight on Sydney Harbour is the equally famed Harbour Bridge. Linking Sydney's east and north, the bridge can be crossed on foot, bicycle, car or if you're brave, you can climb it on the Bridge Climb. While you're in the area, check out The Rocks and Circular Quay. The Rocks is the place Sydney's first settlers made their home and you can still wander its cobbled streets. It's alongside Circular Quay, where you can catch one of Sydney's famous harbour ferries. Not to be missed is the ferry ride to Taronga Zoo where you can pat kangaroos and koalas.
Around the headland from Circular Quay is Darling Harbour. Whether you're taking a harbour cruise, up close and personal with the fish at Sydney Aquarium or watching an IMAX movie, it's is a fun destination. Closer to the city center, Centrepoint Tower offers the best view of the Sydney. The structure rises above the Westfield shopping centre, which is the perfect spot to give your credit card a work out.
When you've satisfied your retail therapy needs, head to the Australian Museum. It's a great place to learn about Australia's natural history and will keep the kids entertained too. Across the road from the museum is Hyde Park and St Mary's Cathedral. The church is an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture and crafted from local yellow sandstone.
When you're ready to explore outside the CBD, Bondi Beach and Balmain are must-see destinations. Sydneysiders know they're lucky to have a beach as beautiful as Bondi only 15 minutes from the city centre. After a dip in the Pacific grab a latte from one of the many cool cafes in the area. Balmain is further inland and its streets are lined with heritage buildings and the shopping, café and pub scene is top notch.
On New Year's Eve there's no other place to be than by the water. Head to Sydney Harbour for the city's famous New Year's fireworks display. If you fancy dancing the night away nab a ticket to the annual Shore Thing party on Bondi Beach.
Cricket fans should join the other pilgrims for the most Australian of rituals, the New Year's Day cricket test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
For your dose of culture in January, the Sydney Festival has free and paid-for music, theatre, dance and art events.
Australia Day is on January 26, a Bank Holiday for the whole nation. Locals hit the beach for some sun and a BBQ or the harbour for the Ferrython, the annual ferry race.
Oxford Street is awash with rainbow flags with the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras in early March. Along with the parade down Oxford Street, there are parties, art exhibitions, beach BBQs and talks.
Every Easter the country heads to the city for the Sydney Royal Easter Show at Homebush Bay.
In August cinema buffs can choose from the latest films from Australia and around the world with the two-week Sydney Film Festival.
In September the Festival of the Winds takes over the Bondi sky with a sea of kites.
In the first week of October, the Manly International Jazz Festival is the perfect excuse to check out Sydney's best beach on the north side of the city.
The coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama Beach is beautiful year round but it becomes an outdoor art gallery in early November with the annual Sculpture By The Sea.
On Boxing Day the annual Sydney to Hobart race kicks off and Sydneysiders line the harbour to watch the yachts sail out of the heads.
Leisure and Recreation
Aussies love the great outdoors and Sydney's beautiful natural harbour and stunning beaches makes it pretty easy. Cruise the harbour, have surfing lessons on Bondi, parasail in Manly, scuba dive in the harbour or rent a bike in Centennial Park.
Along with outdoor pursuits, Sydney has a lot to offer the keen shopper. There's a brand new Westfield on Pitt Street in Sydney's CBD and a similar affair in Bondi Junction. Market fans should head to Paddington Markets on Saturdays or Bondi Markets on Sundays. You'll find smaller local designer boutiques on Oxford Street in Paddington and Crown Street in Surry Hills.
Sport is almost a national religion so it's worth checking out a local sporting fixture. The NRL (National Rugby League) and AFL aka Aussie Rules seasons start in late March and finish early October. Matches are played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and Olympic Stadium. The international cricket season is from November to February.
When visiting Sydney is just not enough
If you fall in love with Sydney like so many others do, then just visiting sometimes isn't enough. Moving to Sydney becomes a viable option when you want to experience something totally new. Sydney offers so much; history, the culture, the excitement as well as the very close proximity to South East Asia.
Summers in Sydney are warm to hot and winters are mild and the seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere. In winter, average temperatures are 49-61oF (9 - 16oC) so you will need a warm jacket. In summer temperatures range from 63-77oF (17 - 25oC) but can hit 100oF (38oC) so pack for warm weather. Plan your visit between October to April to make the most of Sydney's outdoor lifestyle and beaches.

Coca Cola Gumby advertisement. Limited market?
I just got a really neat Gumby and Pokey Coca Cola animation cell. It is signed and number.
I looked it up and it sold for $149 all the way to $225. I know the value is there. However, I am wondering how do I deal with such a limited market? Is there a place that captures more of this type of market then Ebay?

Your collectible would be of particular interest to either a Gumby/Pokey aficionado or a Coca Cola collector.
Check out Art Clokey's Gumbyworld - the Official Home of Gumby & Pokey. There's a Fan Club section listing the official Gumby social media sites by the creators of Gumby.
The Coca Cola Club has a presence on Facebook as well as a website.

Agreed - to get the best price, go directly to a fan group or specialty sale/auction. It won't get enough attention on eBay or a discovery auction.

ok... so i played resistance... then i tried fear... and they were both good in my opinion. so i decided to give call of duty 3 a try... and... argg... i am having a heck of a time.
is it me or the enemies are hard to see in this game? they blend so well with the game environment... actually too much in my opinion that makes the gameplay unplayable and very very frustrating.
i do look for the "fire sparks" or whatever you call them when they are shooting at me, but i never know which enemies are shooting at me... and then that "red circle graph with triangles" that shows up in the middle of the screen when you are being shot at... arghhhhh... makes it worse for me to see. and i am playing this da@# game on "easy" mode.
has anyone tried this game and felt the same way? whey can't the enemies be a little more easier to see like the guys in resistance and their yellow tanks on their back?
any gameplay advice is welcome as well. thank you all for reading my complaints.

Associate in Arts (Transfer) Degree
The field of criminal justice is expected to continue to grow in the next decade.
Higher education is becoming increasingly important to careers in all three major components of the criminal justice system: law enforcement, courts and corrections. Advanced education also is important in the field of private security management.
The decisions made by law enforcement officers, probation officers, corrections counselors and others in the field may have life or death implications; it is critical that these decision makers be educated, prepared professionals.
Essential to success in the criminal justice field are excellent communication skills and an understanding of human behavior and motivation. A bachelor's degree is the minimum preparation for some positions in the criminal justice field; a bachelor's degree is required for work with federal agencies, probation and court services, and some areas of security management.
The Criminal Justice program at College of DuPage provides students pursuing a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and law enforcement with a two-year foundation of coursework toward that program. The Associate in Arts degree combines courses in communication, social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and other areas with criminal justice elective courses.

You looked at it in IE, thats the problem ;D.
Since lots of people use IE it's understandable you want your page to work in it. One thing I would say is add "'s on all your modifiers (like ALIGN="left" not ALIGN=left). While that shouldn't make a diffrence, it does in some browsers.
The fact you are aoviding CSS is good since IE has major bugs with CSS.
What is showung up wrong if I may ask.

Mission and Vision
Employee Volunteer Programs (EVPs): A planned, managed effort that seeks to motivate and enable employees to effectively volunteer under the sponsorship and leadership of the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis earned a 2010 Community Engagement Classification from the prestigious Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in recognition for its commitment to and engagement with the greater community. To give UMSL employees an opportunity to share in this important recognition and to further engage in the Gateway to Greatness initiative, an Employee Volunteer Program has been developed. Employee volunteer programs allow companies and institutions to foster a more personal link to the community by sharing their human resources with organizations that provide valuable community services. In return, these companies and institutions benefit with more productive, satisfied, and engaged employees, and an improved perception in the community.Under the UMSL Employee Volunteer Program, eligible UMSL staff employees will receive up to eight hours of non-accruing paid time per fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) to volunteer for qualifying volunteer organizations in the Greater St. Louis area. This time may be taken in two-hour, half day or whole day increments at the discretion of the employee during regular working hours subject to pre-approval by the employee's supervisor and the volunteer organization to which the time is being donated. Hours will be reported, tracked, and approved utilizing the Time and Labor system.
The UMSL campus is the first campus in the UM System to implement an Employee Volunteer Program for its staff members. This program will be administered by the Volunteer Services arm of Human Resources.
Approved Organizations
Certain organizations may require you to sign an agreement to hold the organization harmless for any injury to you or damage to your property that may occur while volunteering there, regardless of the cause. You should be aware that such agreements do not have the force of law andyou do not waive any legal rights by signing them.

Both Carbon County schools did well with Helper Junior High placing third. "I could not be prouder of our kids," said Helper coach Phil Howa. "With the number of wrestlers we had third was a win for us." Mont Harmon coach Brock Fausett was pleased as well. "The kids worked hard and deserve all the credit," said Fausett. The Mont Harmon coach is hoping to get between 18 to 20 kids from the county ready for the state tournament later this year.

I'm looking for a picture that used to be posted around here. It was a picture of His Noodliness slamming into the Earth and killing the dinosaurs (similar to another picture of a comet doing the very same thing ).
I used to have it saved but my computer decided it needed to be completely restored (3 or 4 times ).
