— The PA Department of Labor and Industry has installed a direct phone line to its Unemployment Compensation Call Centers for use by all individuals to open an unemployment compensation claim or to ask questions about existing claims.
This phone is available at the Wayne County Employment and Training Center, 314 10th Street, Honesdale. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
To use, an individual only needs to lift the receiver, listen to the instructions, and enter his/her social security number on the telephone key pad.
Next, an unemployment compensation interviewer will identify him/herself and ask how to help you. Prior to having this accessibility at the center, unemployed persons would encounter busy signals as they try to reach the UC Center using the 800 number and their own phones.
The availability of this feature to our Employment and Training Center greatly enhances our resources for job seekers as they work to re-enter the workforce.

Arsenal match retrospective
Soooo, we've all had a chance to get over it, what did you think?
Key points for me:
Vert & Daws were amazing, they had no right to pull off some of those last minute tackles - more than once I screamed at the telly "WHAT IS HE DOING?!" followed 3 seconds later by, "oh, intercepting really really well and being really good at his job, that's what". It's nice to have that consistency at the back again, it gives MF a good grounding to push forward from, especially with the 2 quick FBs.
The eternal Bale question. I'm not convinced the MF is quite sure of it's shape or individual responsibilities with him in the role behind the striker, and I felt for a reasonable amount of the first half there was almost a reluctance for anyone else to go for goal - it kind of felt like they'd had one of those sketch show tactics talks where the manager goes round each player and asks them what their job is, to which they reply "give it to Bale". I don't think that's AVB's or Bale's fault, just that it looked to me (completely unquantifiably) that they've had a bit of a confidence knock, although it did seem better after the first half hour or so.
On the flip side, I do think that Bale needs to consider his positioning more, too many times we were lacking that 'in the hole' role which he should have been filling, and if anything he's too confident - too many times he should have been passing but didn't seem interested in his team mates. He's like the reserve-Lennon - if he should 70/30 pass he'll shoot, and Lennon's the opposite, even when he had the empty goal 3 feet in front of him he looked like he was looking for someone to pass to!
And as I accidentally mentioned in the other thread, scoring the first goal in the North London Derby and celebrating with the camera, really?! But that's more his personality than his football ;-)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
yes,dawson and vert had a great game together. & we still got kaboul who was our best CB last season to come back next season. & caulker is a solid young CB too. so all good in that area.
I really like walker & he is still learning & developing all the time.
ekotto, well I think we can do better as some games he seems to lack the effort & hunger (especially away). but ability wise he is one of the best in the prem. & most games he is good. but just unreliable maybe every 5 or 6 games.
I still think we have to work out the best way to use bale & work around him. if he has a free roaming role then we have too get the balance right. if he sits behind the striker then we are going to have to work out a way of getting round having no width on the left which makes the pitch even narrower.
which is a nightmare against teams who put 11men behind the ball.
the other team know the likes od Dempsey or sig aren't going to sprint down the wing and whip a ball in.
I still think he should start wide left but feel free to come central when he wants. so he sort of ends up being 50% of the time wide left & 50% of the time central.
but obviously if he is having a lot of joy out wide, then stay out there more.
& if he it having more joy out centrally, then stay out there more.
ideally u want a player who can automatically go out wide left and do a decent job when bale goes central. so they can sort of play off bale. so stay in the middle when bale out wide, but then go wide left when bale comes in the middle.
but its a great problem to have as we have 1 of the most in form players in the world right now.

I'd say Siggy did that job last night very well, switching with Bale on the left. It was his cross that Bale scored from and he was in the middle for the tap in from Defoe's effort. He seems much more at home now than earlier in the season, must be why AVB didn't want to sell him in January.
also wanted to say how good was modric when he came on against utd!
I still am a huge fan of his.
he was also superb against barca on Saturday. he ran the show.
great goal against utd too. he doesn't score many but when he does they are usually screamers!
I still think Madrid haven't used him right yet.
when bale does go, I hope its abroad as we need more british players to go abroad to improve our national teams. & ideally id like him to get in a swap for modric & some £££!
id welcome him back. 1 of the best playmakers in the world.
obviously id rather keep bale but he will want to be challenging for CL & titles & be on 200k+ a wk.
but lets just enjoy every moment we have bale at the lane!
I think I still prefer Bale as provider - scaring the backs and drawing play away from the centre.
But, that requires someone in the middle scoring. Daffy was, then dried up a bit and then injured. Ade hasn't looked like it. Dempsey has a few. So I can understand why AVB likes him where he is - maybe that will change if Daffy gets back in and starts scoring again or Ade finds his boots.

Dre Johnson, aka "Duke the Bossman," first started spoken word while a freshman in high school.
The self-described emcee, artist, host and educator who has lost family and friends to murder, has found the art form healing, he says.
The East Oakland resident, 25, discovered poetry through a writing workshop, where he met the host of Tourettes Without Regrets, an underground performance art show in Oakland.
"It was bananas," says ¿Johnson, remembering the first time he saw the show. TWT inspired Johnson to keep going with spoken word. Since then, he has performed around the United States.
Johnson says his work is "centered around mostly real life and real life experiences." He says he likes to "let my poetry be as real as my life is."
Most of Johnson's work is inspired by his experiences living in East Oakland. "There's a lot of my poems that are about friends and family members that have been murdered, and being able to speak about it like that helps me heal those wounds."
One of Johnson's poems is about the murder of three of his friends. Two were killed just a day apart. In the poem, he writes how he and others around him "saw red" for the next two days after.
"We became demons," the poem goes, "plighting to perpetuate a cycle older than we."
After their deaths, Johnson says he saw himself "turn into this (expletive) monster, ready to get revenge and just do whatever. And I just can't talk about that conversation, but in the poem it's like, 'Yeah, I think about that too.'"
Growing up in East Oakland, he says, "the violence and crimes that go on, you don't talk about. You're just not supposed to name names, you're not supposed to say it out loud."
Johnson says his art allowed him to express his feelings. Poetry became one of the few ways he saw to address some hard experiences.
"I just shed all my fear about what anybody thought about how I felt," Johnson says of his decision to step on stage and share his work. "Every show that I've ever performed at across the entire country, there will at least be one person in the audience to come up to me and be like, 'Yo, thank you for sharing,' and that 'I feel the exact same way,' and that's really all I care about."
Johnson says that spoken word is a way to explore different kinds of poetry, and he's taught himself a lot about the art form.
Through his nonprofit, Digital Storytellers, he's been able to educate youth in various schools, empowering them to "speak their minds in an articulate way," particularly with their elders and peers.
Digital Storytellers serves Richmond High, Skyline High in Oakland, Hayward High and the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy in San Francisco.
"Discovering your voice," Johnson says, "just allows you to be able to vocalize your feelings about stuff instead of holding it inside until it just boils over into something disgustingly ugly or violent."
Oakland resident Katrina Davis is a photographer who also enjoys reading gossip blogs and hanging out with good friends."I'm also a comic genius," she says.

Be merry, be active
How to avoid packing on the pounds during the holidays
"I call the mall the poor man's gym," says Douglas Saulsberry, 61.
He and his wife, Ouley - retired teachers - don't veer from their workout routine at Twelve Oaks Mall, even during the busy holiday season.
"I find by getting up and doing this, I have more energy to take care of all the extra things I have to do doing the holiday," says Ouley Saulsberry, 62.
"I find it even more important because I love sweets and there are more sweets to eat during the holidays," says Douglas Saulsberry. "Just last night I had a slice of rum cake, sweet potato pie and Häagen-Dazs ice cream."
The Saulsberrys are hardly alone. After all, 'tis the season to eat, drink and be merry.
There's almost no getting around it. There are Christmas cookies at the office, pies and cakes baking in the oven at home , and holiday parties galore!
With all the extra stuff on to-do lists - shopping, kids concerts, shopping, church programs, shopping, traveling, more shopping - it's easy to get off track and pile on the extra pounds during the holidays.
"It's easy to gain 5 to 15 pounds just from Thanksgiving to New Year's," says Colleen Greene, Wellness Coordinator for MHealth, a healthy living initiative for students and employees at the University of Michigan.
But you don't have to pack on holiday pounds.
The University of Michigan and various fitness educators have advice aimed at helping people through the eating season.
Think one word: Maintain.
Maintain your weight and maintain and/or implement a work out routine.
"This is not the time to go on a diet," Greene says. "For most people, that would mean setting yourself up for failure."
It's more realistic to aim not to gain, she says.
A key ingredient of maintaining weight and health during the holidays is making sure you get in some exercise just as the Saulsberrys do.
"People tend not to be as diligent with their routines during the holidays, but there are ways to burn calories even with all the extra things you have to do," says Christina Eyers, supervisor of athletic training at Henry Ford Health System. "You can burn 240 calories during household chores. Instead of using a leaf blower, get out and rake the leaves. Find ways to be really active in your daily living. If you're going to the mall anyway, park far from the door. Take fruits and vegetables with you to snack on. And take a bottle of water to drink so you won't be tempted by their sugary drinks."
Eyers and Greene say don't let company be an excuse. Instead, get active with your loved ones.
"Go for a family walk. Go out and play touch football together," Greene says. "Put on some music and dance."
They advise finding outdoor fitness activities that you'll enjoy so the holidays and ensuing cold weather don't become an excuse for inactivity.
That's exactly what Delores Muller, 40, did. She enjoyed roller skating as a child and took up ice skating as an adult.
Now, she ice skates at least twice a week during her lunch break in downtown Detroit, where she's a computer programmer.
"I love it," she says of ice skating at Campus Martius. "They play holiday music and it just puts me in a good mood. And it's also a way to get some fresh air and sunshine."
Skating during her lunch hour assures she gets exercise in spite of the extra holiday duties that come with her three children, ages 11, 9 and 7.
"I also find that when I exercise, I eat healthier," she says. "When I get back to the office, if I see cookies, I think 'I just skated an hour.' I might eat a cookie, but I won't eat as many as I would have. I'd say I cut my sweets in take in half when I'm exercising.
Many fitness facilities offer special packages just for the holidays.
"Think of taking care of yourself as your holiday gift to yourself," says Nikole Saffle, senior program director at the Boll Family YMCA in downtown Detroit. "You have to prioritize you."
Saffle says the Y offers guest passes for individuals and families.
"Think about hosting a family activity day at the Y," she says. "It would make the holidays different and special."
Be Nice Yoga in Detroit offers a Home for the Holidays pass of four classes for $20.
"The holidays are the absolute best time to stay in tune with regular yoga practice because it keeps you grounded so you can share in the more meaningful aspects of the holiday," says studio owner and yoga instructor Monica Breen.
Tarek Hamade, general manager of LA Fitness in Royal Oak, Mich., suggests that in addition to asking gyms about holiday specials and guest passes, people should check facilities' websites. LA Fitness, for example, offers free, three-day guest passes online.
Fitness club members with out-of-town guests should talk with club managers about deals as well, he advises.
"Bottom line is we want people to work out and enjoy the facilities," Hamade says.

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine
The Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine quarter is the fourth of 2013 and the 19th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. Fort McHenry—the birthplace of our country's national anthem—was named for James McHenry, our Nation's second Secretary of War. Following the burning of the Nation's capitol and other federal buildings in August 1814, British forces attacked Baltimore. Francis Scott Key, a poet-lawyer, witnessed the September 13-14 bombardment of Fort McHenry while under British guard on an American truce ship in the Patapsco River. Seeing his country's flag still flying over the fort the next morning, he was moved to pen "The Star-Spangled Banner." Fort McHenry was first established as a national site on March 3, 1925 (43 Stat. 1109).
The reverse design represents the site during the "Defenders Day" celebration, considered the centerpiece annual event held at Fort McHenry. The fireworks symbolize the "rocket's red glare," linking the fort to its historic past. Inscriptions are FORT McHENRY, MARYLAND, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

After Sasuke attempts to stab Sakura, Naruto arrives just in time to save her, taking a small scratch on the cheek in the process. Naruto informs Sasuke he has learned the truth about Itachi from Tobi, and wants to save him from his path of revenge but Sasuke cynically rejects Naruto's offer by announcing that he killed Danzō, and then proclaims his plans on destroying Konoha. Despite Kakashi's attempts, Naruto and Sasuke then clash with their Rasengan and Chidori. After they clash, Naruto remembers a time when even he thought of revenge against Konoha, and of how he eventually overcame it — by making bonds with Sasuke and Iruka Umino.
- Before Naruto and Sasuke clash, Naruto is imagining how easily the roles between them could have been the opposite, thus seeing himself using Chidori while Sasuke using Rasengan.
- In the beginning of this episode, there is an animation error:
- Kakashi is fighting Sasuke. Sasuke is depicted with both of his wrist warmers when the one on his left was taken off during his battle against Danzō.
- For this episode and part of the last, Sasuke had no pupils to show he was losing his eye sight, but when he clashes with Naruto near the end of the episode and look each other in the eye, Sasuke has his pupils. It's because he didn't lose it completely.

wonderful Paid Dues 2008 review from Ice Cream Man
Paid Dues Festival 2008 ReviewWords by Danielle Kelly
Photos by Nicolas Bates
According to his newest release, MURS is running for President. At least in the realm of Guerilla Union, he is the commander in chief of the Paid Dues festival yet again this year. Taking the acronym for Making Underground Raw Sh-t, MURS festival provided for independent hip hop prolifics to reap the benefits of their paid dues to the indie community. One of the best things to emerge from the Inland Empire since Rock the Bells, there was a multitude of independent rap lovers who flocked to the NOS Event Center for this spectrum of hip hop activity.
Along with many other concert goers, Nick and I missed such tastemakers as B. Dolan, Busdriver, Yak Ballz, Isaiah, P.O.S., and Mac Lethal due to unfortunate circumstances of a false startup time posted by the villainous monopoly, Ticketmaster. But a crowd had gathered and the joints had been lit by the time Kool Keith appeared onstage. To many peoples delight, another alias was also present: Dr. Octagon. Amidst the full flavor of smooth rhymes, he joked about his age, claiming he was thirty years younger than what his birth certificate would testify. One of the ending tracks was a Dr. Octagon dedication to women, Girl Let Me Touch You There, with ironically offensive content that would attest the maturity level he was claiming.
Next on the bill was Brooklyns own Boot Camp Clik, accumulating its five members over the course of a few songs, they steadily raised the onstage temperature to a boiling swagger. Soulful overtures of saxophone samples complimented the aggressive, crafty rhymes spit from the likes of Buckshot, using the front speaker as a soapbox. However, when Visionaries came out, they preached positivity while sustaining the rawness of their genre. With crowd stirring, old school DJ scribbles and a slogan, Visionaries is for the kids, the Visionaries worked to flip-switch-and-reverse the hateful fuel of many hip hop artists to create an experience of lyrical activism and love. But it was the classic all-star team, Hieroglyphics, who brought the anthems to maintain an excitable crowd. There was a slight void in the playback of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien choruses without the baritone flow of the man himself. Also, there was a notably recurrent influence of a Handsome Boy Modeling School track Its Like That in the act. The amount energy and tribute paid to the festival throughout their hit-filled setlist roused the fanatical response from the audience.
Literally removing himself from the work suit of hosting duties, MURS was reborn into a tracksuit to join the seven other rag tag members of Living Legends. MURS was also, by far, the smiliest player of the night. I nearly became a casualty to the intensity of the Living Legends as one member earnestly worked the crowd after storming the press bench I was seated on. An energetic display involving picket signs promoting albums and a snapping, swaying Motown line invoked the integrity and protest that independent hip hop music stands for. It seemed like a completely natural response for the audience to boo upon hearing the act was over. Yet MURS exercised his executive abilities in keeping the Living Legends on for a few more songs, ending in a poised and memorable performance of Never Fallin.
After catching the beginning of Jedi Mind Tricks, Nick and I decided to check out the VIP area for a quick break. This offered Paid Dues gnarly, a meet-and-greet section, exclusivity of privatized bathrooms, and a DJ station for the main stage spinners to encore. However, after some R&R it was back to the gig for more hip hop hysteria.
A fundamentally great quality of this festival was the perpetual love shown for the West Coast Southland, which obviously spoke directly to the attendees. True to their name, Dilated Peoples ruminated on their Los Angeles roots and actively provoked a high volume of crowd participation and fervor, especially with the climactic hit Worst Comes to Worst. Attending to the hearts of the audience, by the end of the performance, one of the Dilated members was practically submerged in the crowd.
Yet another positive characteristic to Paid Dues was the invitation for independent artists to promote their CDs on site and, also, the implementation of acts not on the bill who were permitted to deliver their talent in a single song set. The most outstanding of these performers was the notorious, impromptu freestyler Super Natural. The rapper provoked uproarious crowd response by merging pop culture references with mere visual cues to create sharp, situational zingers - executing the task with the same equanimity of a rehearsed performance.
It should be noted that Little Brother was one the largest draws for the Paid Dues. With a huge festival schedule lined up for 2008, the act caused nearly as much buzz as the headliner and there was tangible electricity in the audience generated by collective murmurs. The Queen sample, We Are the Champions, created the tone for the surfacing of not-so-Little Brother. This particular duo of MCs, Big Pooh and Phonte, charmed the crowd with their jovial and confident stage presence, whether flashing a huge smile or getting down to business. The sonic intensity was so fierce that my hair moved with the vibrations of the bass. When the set was over, smiling satisfaction swept the crowd and the praise was deafening. If you missed Paid Dues, you may want to check out Little Brother at such upcoming festivals as Coachella or Outside Lands this season.
However, the king of the evening was solely reserved for the renowned Sage Francis. The presence of the solitary rapper and social activist was enough to fill the entire stage and envelope the crowd. But it seemed that even the stage could hardly contain the antics of Sage. Exhibiting the kinetic energy of a WWF wrestler, all the audio equipment was subject to his jungle gym activity. Per usual, the socio-political commentary delivered from the Rhode Island MC was cutting, thought provoking, but, most prominently, hilarious. Maybe it was the team America anthem incorporated into the act; or the fact that he looked like an excitable boy with his trademark corporate-hate flag as a cape; possibly the mullet wig he used to mock Midwest metalheads; or even the display of break dancing by the same man who had joked about chubby chaffing from the days heat. The dynamics of his lyrical delivery and his comedic display went hand in hand to create a genuinely entertaining and witty set. Even with his new DJ, whom he continuously referred to as a Redheaded Criminal, Sage Francis made acerbic remarks about everyone from corporations to pop culture to playful quips about the rappers he shared the stage with that day. Highly entertained, call and response and laughter from the crowd were accolades to end the evening with.

Surcharge Recipients Organization's Compliance Procedures for
Surcharge Eligibility and Payments
Commemorative coin programs are created by enabling legislation enacted by Congress to honor a person, place or event. The enabling legislation dictates the coin specifications, mintages, cost considerations, and surcharge amount to be collected. A surcharge is a set amount per coin that the Mint collects and distributes to the designated recipient organization which must use the proceeds for the purpose(s) specified in the enabling legislation. Historically, the Mint has been required to pay surcharges to recipients whether or not all the Mint's program costs were recovered and without any accountability requirements for the recipient organization. In 1996, Congress enacted legislation changing the Mint's requirement to pay surcharges.

Lingon 3
The easiest way to run things automatically on your Mac has now become even easier.
Lingon runs things automatically on your Mac.
- Lingon can start an app, a script or run a command automatically when you want
- You can schedule it at a specific time, regularly or when something happens
- You can make sure that an app automatically restarts if it crashes
- Lingon can do all this for you and much more
(Please note that Lingon 3 is only for OS X Lion 10.7 and there is earlier version, 2.2.1, available for OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.)

Truly sad to see such a great app go to crap
All I can say is... thank god I have an old version of Lingon that was free and works perfectly. I'm sorry, I realize that it's hard to make a living as a developer, but with such a simple tool that was freeware for so long, suddenly putting on the Mac AppStore costing money is ridiculous. This program is an absolute requirement for every computer I own, it's such a core utility since I like to very delicately tune my systems and know what is running at all times. If the developer wanted to make a "premium" version for the app store, go ahead and do that, make it "easier-to-use" and "moron-proof" and charge for that. But leave the hardcore version of the app totally free for us super-nerds that come to rely on it.
@ kopischke
It's true, version 2.2.1 is still available. However, I neglected to mention that it has been (at least in my experience, using Snow Leopard and Lion) prone to routine bugs. Dialogs get stuck, alternating between Basic and Expert modes stops working unexpectedly (initially, I thought it had to do with formatting errors in Expert mode, but it happens even with agents/daemons created entirely in Basic mode).
If 2.x is abandoned, the only move forward (beyond existing bugs, and to stay compatible with new OS updates) is through the severely (I'd say intolerably) limited 3.x. It's sad because I think this is a great app, but the kind of user this appeals to, IMO, won't appreciate the loss of so much functionality.
@agents The "classic" Lingon (i.e. version 2.x) is still to be found in the App Store as a separate app from Lingon 3 – as it has been for a while. I guess the fact version 2 has been approved into the MAS means the creation of the (admittedly very simplistic) version 3 is not due to Apple policy, but simply a design decision by Lingon developer Peter Borg.
Lingon 3 is now available for Lion. And it sucks. Sorry; I hate to disparage a hardworking developer, but the limitations of this release can't be ignored. There's a fine line between easy to use and no longer useful, and it looks like the App Store has forced this into the latter.
I don't really begrudge paying $3 for the new version, since I've used the old one free for so long. But the inability to run agents/daemons as root, or even see most existing agents/daemons, is a ridiculous limitation to impose. The lack of options or info is breathtaking.
This wouldn't be a problem if there were an alternate (i.e. REAL) version of this for pro users, but Apple has once again cornered us into its crayon-scrawl vision of usability. Sorry to rant, but they're forcing developers to dumb down their products for their blessing and promotion. TERRIBLE.
version 2.2.1 appears to be payware ($5 as of Mar 2011)
@ bogen:
can't be to shure but maybe launchd (under Leopard) doesn't support live activation and deactivation anymore?
Can't believe, they threw away this usefull feature . . . just because.
Version 2.1 requires leopard.
Version 1.2.1 for 10.4.2 is here
Agreed. A wonderful utility. If you have any need to tinker with, or manage your own daemons you need this.
Just a wonderful utility. It should come with the OS.

Liverpool Message Board
Andy Carroll - Worth the mention..
First of all, I'd like to say I'm sorry to hear about it, and I'd never wish any former Liverpool player any bad news, or personal anguish.. That said, after he's missed most of the WHU pre-season, and opening 3 matches due to a leg injury, he's just suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, which has him out at least 4 months, possibly the season.. We bought him when he was injured, and he never recovered that year, and also struggled badly while with BR's first summer camp here in the states before going on loan.
I actually feel bad and wish the lad well, but BR and FSG have to be thanking their lucky stars, that Andy himself, or someone else did not convince them to hang on to him this year, and the 15M sale they got, seems even that much better since they don't have his wages nor have to face him.. I do feel bad for WHU breaking their record fee.
This isn't to gloat, but the lad has simply never blossomed to this point, lived up to any expectations yet, despite having many years on his side, and isn't and won't ever be top class in England, the league or country. For all those who blamed BR for this and that about Andy, and even suggested he'd adapt to our style, which includes the fitness and cardio our boys have, is really proving to be factually ridiculous, and the notion he'd score 20 goals in a season for us, ludicrous. Again, wish him no harm, not gloating because that's not proper, but it proves his injury record shows no end. I wish him well, but so thankful he's been moved on, and for the fee we did recoup. Best of luck Andy, and to anyone who thinks he'll win the golden boot in this lifetime..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I havent seen anything saying it was a ruptured Achillies, just a load of reports it was the same part of his foot with no expected return date. Either way, it is a bit sad for the lad, he wasn't quite up to becoming a Torres, Suarez, Owen for us but he is a good player nonetheless and never showed any lack of effort, he didnt pricetag himself. We definitely did well to recoup the amount we did and it is really telling now. You can almost guarantee the 2 games he plays this season will be against us though! On the other hand, I would happily take any bet on offer that before his career is up he manages to score 20 goals in a season, I am certain that it will happen eventually, can't see the injuries lasting forever, it is quite common in big strikers at a young age!

I tend to agree Hobs. For me AC is still a very promising player, and it would not surprise me assuming he can get over the injury issues for him to become one of the better English strikers in the league.
However end of the day he was simply a square peg trying to fit into a round hole once BR came into the picture last summer. No blame on either, its just apples and oranges. For AC to be at his best he needs service, which means speedy wingers who run for the touch line before they swing it in rather than cut inside. As soon as the decision was made we'd base our game around a fast passing midfield, and wingers who were inside forwards rather than touchline huggers, his days were numbered.
One thing I will agree with Jason on is that he does have years on his side. The lad has plenty of time to get over his injuries and prove the doubters wrong. Without the huge price tag hanging over his head, and the glare of the media a club like LFC will always attract he has a better chance of doing that. And, for those who still think you can write off a player if he's not made it to the top by his 25 birthday, take a look at Rickie Lambert who was at Bristol Rovers in league two on his 25th birthday, and tonight he'll be England's number 9!

VAIL, Colorado - Weather forecasts are predicting a white Christmas for many mountain resorts in Colorado, including Vail and Beaver Creek. The National Weather Service forecast for the area shows a chance of snow beginning Sunday and continuing through Christmas, with the highest chances for the most snow falling sometime late Monday and into Christmas morning. Forecasts a few days in advance are still relatively early, but certainly show promise across many forecasters.At the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which forecasts avalanche danger around the state, the Monday forecast shows "a more defined trough," but the forecast is too far out for any details, wrote Scott Toepfer, a forecaster at the avalanche center.The news is a sharp and welcomed turn around at Vail Mountain, where December's snowfall to date is already 52 inches. The average for the month of December over the last 12 years is 43.8 inches, said Vail Mountain spokeswoman Sara Lococo, putting the current snowfall tally up about 18 percent over that 12-year average."Another interesting fact worth noting is that over the last 12 years, Vail has averaged 18 inches of snowfall between Dec. 22-31, so hopefully that's something to look forward to next week, as well," Lococo said. "The forecast is looking favorable so far."Powder forecaster and Meteorologist Joel Gratz, who runs www.opensnow.com, is predicting a few inches Sunday afternoon and evening, with the more intense storms coming through on Monday and Monday night. "Open your presents early then hit the slopes," Gratz wrote in his forecast Friday morning. "I think a responsible forecast for this storm would be about 4 to 8 inches for many areas, though some places could get a foot if all works out perfectly."The Open Snow forecast for both Vail and Beaver Creek shows 1 to 2 inches Sunday, 0 to 1 inch Sunday night, 2 to 4 inches Monday and 3 to 5 inches Monday night. The largest forecast as of now is for Wolf Creek, with 5 to 10 inches expected on Monday and another 2 to 4 inches Monday night. Another storm looks like it's on schedule for later in the week, around Thursday or Friday, which Gratz predicts could bring another 4 to 8 inches to many ski areas. As more terrain opens at many resorts - Beaver Creek's Larkspur Bowl opens today and Grouse Mountain opened Friday, while Vail opened Chairs 5 and 17 on Friday and could open more terrain this weekend - the new snow will only help put such terrain in better shape."The next seven days are going to be fun for all areas of Colorado, so after a very slow start to the season with almost no snow for a month at the end of November and beginning of December, the holiday week looks fantastic," Gratz said in his latest forecast. "Get out and enjoy."The new snow, however, brings more backcountry dangers. The avalanche center is reporting considerable avalanche danger around most of the Colorado high country. Backcountry travelers triggered several slides this week, especially on northeast aspects near treeline in the backcountry near Vail, the center reported. "Avalanche mitigation work with explosives produced even larger avalanches with crowns up to 8 feet deep in wind-loaded areas. Most of these were soft slabs that released in a layer of faceted snow just above the ground and some stepped down to the ground itself," reported forecaster Tim Brown.The concerns Friday and into the weekend were for persistent slabs that are a few feet thick and overlie persistent weak layers of depth hoar. Those traveling into the backcountry this weekend need to keep the avalanche danger in mind as the snowpack changes. The center warns anyone entering the backcountry to pay careful attention to warnings and to be prepared. The snowpack is very "touchy," Brown reports.Assistant Managing Editor Lauren Glendenning can be reached at 970-748-2983 or email@example.com.

In the 2011 draft, 35 players were selected ahead of Colin Kaepernick, including five quarterbacks. As pleased as he is to be leading the 49ers into the playoffs, Kaepernick is carrying a grudge from April 28, 2011, when his name wasn't among those called in the first round.
"That's something I carry with me every day," Kaepernick told Jim Rome on CBS Sports Radio. "Going through the draft process and seeing people taken before you, it really kind of puts a chip on your shoulder.
"People didn't think I was up to the standards of those quarterbacks. To me that was a challenge to go prove everybody wrong and that you're better than those quarterbacks and you can go out and win games."
Selected ahead of Kaepernick were: Cam Newton (No. 1, Carolina Panthers), Jake Locker (No. 8, Tennessee Titans), Blaine Gabbert (No. 10, Jacksonville Jaguars), Christian Ponder (No. 12, Minnesota Vikings) and Andy Dalton (No. 35, Cincinnati Bengals).
The 49ers moved up to select Kaepernick with the fourth pick of the second round, one spot after Dalton. Why didn't other teams bite on him earlier?
"I'm not sure. That's something I'd like to ask a few coaches," Kaepernick told Rome. "But I'm happy to be in San Francsico, I'm happy with the place I'm at and I'm happy with this opportunity and situation."
Kaepernick will make his eighth straight start when the 49ers (11-4-1) host a divisional-round playoff game Jan. 12.
Here are other highlights of Kaepernick's debut in "The Jungle:"
On Alex Smith: "Alex has been phenomenal. I can't say enough about how he's been through the situation and how his attitude has been. He helps me throughout the week, helps me during games, making sure I'm seeing things. When you come to the sideline and you ask, 'Did you see the same thing I did?' and you get confirmation from someone that's been in the league for eight years, it gives you confidence going back out there."
On Jim Harbaugh: "Coach Harbaugh is a maniac. He's going to do anything he can to try to get a win. From what you're doing in the week for preparation, he's going to try to perfect everything, make sure everything's clear in your head and you're ready to go. ...if it means extra hours, extra reps we're going to do that. It's been working. You can't say anything but good things about him."
On 2012: "It's been a little bit crazy. You go from being the No. 2 quarterback just trying to do anything you can to get on field, to finally getting your opportunity to start a game and have teammates rely on you to help get wins and get to the playoffs. It was crazy how quickly things changed."
On when he knew he could win as a starter: "It was before I stated playing actually. I felt very confident going through training camp ... To get that start Monday night and play well, it confirmed it in my mind that I can come out and compete with anybody."
On his tattoos: "Most of my tattoos are religious. ... I have a lot of tattoos that I thought about for a long time before I got them. They mean something to me and they're something I'll take with me forever. It's a different era with tattoos now. Now it's people expressing themselves, what they feel and who they are."
On his pet tortoise: "Sammy was maybe the size of a regular cookie at biggest. Now he's 120 pounds, walking around backyard tearing things up. He got sent to us in a little FedEx box. He just comes out whenever he's hungry and roams around. He knows as soon as the back door opens, normally it's his turn to get fed, so he's going to come out looking for food."

Hello! I would like to ask certain questions regarding several topics that I may have difficulty in. It would be a great honor for you to support me and help me with them. Thanks for everything you have done for the past few years I really appreciate it
Sapphire Questions

Posted 18 June 2013 - 09:03 AM
Yeah - that's it, isn't it?
Do you want me therefore to delete the whole thread?
Is it time for 'Sapphire Questions' to disappear?
You have done marvelously - I presume you're away onto A-levels and the rest of your life now ... so congratulations, well done, and all the best.
It has been a delight working with you all these years.
I think I am going to retire from the History Help forum - to be honest, one of the things that kept me going was the desire to see you through to the end of your GCSEs.
I have been retired from teaching 3 years now, so all my knowledge and experience is going just a little out-of-date (and they are changing all the National Curriculum and GCSEs), and secondly I have got this new very busy job as a County councillor.
I shall still probably - like I do at my school - visit occasionally!
All the very best.
Now enjoy a VERY well-deserved holiday!!!!!!

Hi Sapphire,
I'm not sure how much help I can be with this, but I will post something on to the school history teachers' forum and see if they can. In the meantime, what do you know about Durkheim, the functionalists, socialisation, anomie, consensus etc?
Mr P.
Posted 20 October 2013 - 11:22 AM
I have posted to the teachers' forum, though I think we might find that there's not much sociology expertise there, as it's a history teachers' forum.
In the meantime, your best approach is to look at the notes / textbooks you've been given and see if you can understand what the functionalist view of socialization is, and what alternative views there are of it.
Hope that helps...

Hi Sapphire,
I can only offer you very broad advice I'm afraid - biology was never one of my strong points. I think it would be great if you thought about how to construct a google search for some advice on this answer.
I put your question directly into google - it wasn't very helpful.
So I put it another way and used the key words 'treatments' 'autism' and came up with this - http://www.nhs.uk/Co.../Treatment.aspx
It's the good old NHS, so I think that it is probably a fair summary of the treatments available in the UK. It also contains a link to http://www.autism.org.uk/approaches which is a page maintained by a national charity for autism.
I think that's probably my best shot. I would urge you to read my comments about how I found this information and why these sources appealed to me. Were these comments helpful?
Mr P.

HI Sapphire, please don't think I'm avoiding hard work, but I am afraid that the rules of the forum don't allow me to check work in this way. If there's a particular passage that you're worried about then you could paste that, but the best way to get good feedback would be to talk to your teacher about it.
Mr. P.
Posted 15 October 2014 - 08:34 PM
Posted 20 October 2014 - 05:20 PM
I don't know about Mr. Podesta, but this is certainly way out of my range! Probably too late now as well (sorry).
As far as I can tell you either have a celebrity or impossibly good-looking, well-dressed people posing around a bottle, or a short film which seems to bear no relation to the product being sold. A pretentious name might also be a good idea. (Other product ideas are available).
Looking at it, it doesn't help very much, does it? I suppose you need to create something generic (i.e. like the other ads) or do something different which would make your advert stand out. Anyway, sorry I can't be more help.

Good ultrabook
Reviewed by Lee. Review Posted 31/08/2012
This is a great entry level ultrabook.
The performance is good and boot time is around 10 seconds even though this only has a hybrid SSD drive.
The screen is sharp and colours rich, much like an OLED.
The case itself is good quality with a nice metal finish, the underside being plastic but still of good quality. Accessing RAM and fans appears to be simple as it has a single cover running across the underneath for easy access.
A review I read mentioned the screen is hard to view apart from when looking at it directly, I didnt find this entirely true as you can look at it from an angle of about 20 degrees without loosing much visibility of the screen.
Overall a good product, decent spec and performance for what you pay.
My only gripe is the lid feel a little flimsy but due to the small size of the product this is to be expected and I dont see it causing any issues.

Hinge broke and samsung would not repair
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 03/03/2013
There are many things to like about this laptop, hence the reason that I bought it in the first place. The A6 processor uses very low power, yet the integration of a graphics chip mean that I can play (on low settings) pretty much any PC game out there as well as it looking pretty good as a ultra-book type laptop. I swapped out the stock hard drive for an SSD which means that it boots and runs really quickly. So far so good.
4 months after having owned it, the screen started to be more wobbly than it had before. I looked around the back and noticed that the plastic join on the right hand side had come away a bit. I didn't think anything of this and carried on using it. (Note that the laptop had up to this point been lovingly looked after and certainly never dropped). Every time that I opened the laptop after this, however, the crack opened up a bit more until about 5 days later the right hand side hinge completely broke off.
I dutifully took this to the authorised samsung repair shop in London and was told after 3 days that because this was "physical damage" I was not at all entitled to a repair under warranty. I protested but there was no way that they were going to do this. The cost for the repair was quoted at around £300, which given that I had bought the laptop for under £500 seemed a bit rich.
So I carried on using the now very broken laptop for about another 2 months a which point the left hand side hinge did exactly the same - over a period of 3 days usage it completely broke off. So now I have a laptop that is irreparably damaged / completely useless and I am at least £300 down if I choose to have it repaired. I can't believe that this is an isolated incident with this model.
Samsung, if you are listening to this 1) I will never again ever buy a Samsung product, and I will do my very best to tell every single person that I know to do likewise 2) you are criminally complicit in selling a sub standard product and not honouring to repair it or provide me with a new one 3) Don't you think that when someone comes into one of your authorised repair shops with a fault on your machine after this machine only having been on the market for 5 months that it would be better to take this machine away and try to understand what the problem is, rather than handing it back to me so that lots of other people can discover later the same problem?
Yours one extremely annoyed and desperately unhappy customer.

Alaska Airlines Introduces 'Spirit of Disneyland II'; Makes Wish Trip Inaugural Flight
Alaska Airlines this morning introduced its "Spirit of Disneyland II" aircraft at Portland International Airport. The plane is adorned with the faces of Disney's most recognized characters – Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and, for the first time, Pluto. The new design replaces a previous Disney-themed aircraft retired two weeks ago. Alaska Airlines' Boeing 737-900 aircraft made its inaugural flight from Portland to Los Angeles International Airport carrying three Make-A-Wish® children on their way to the Disneyland Resort to have their wishes granted.
"We're honored to have our Disney and Make-A-Wish partners join us to debut Alaska's fourth Disney-themed aircraft," said Alaska Airlines' President Brad Tilden. "For the next seven years these five characters will serve as an iconic vehicle to bring customers across our network to the 'Happiest Place on Earth' and other Alaska Airlines destinations."
The "Spirit of Disneyland II" aircraft was welcomed at the gate by the three children and their families, as well as Mickey Mouse, Pluto and leaders from Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Oregon, Disneyland Resorts and Alaska Airlines, as travelers looked on from the terminal.
"When a child with a life-threatening medical condition wishes to meet a Disney character or visit a Disney park, we know that Alaska Airlines and Disneyland Resort are there to make it a dream-come-true," said Andrew Asato, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon executive director. "With donated tickets and passes, as well as extra-special treatment for wish families, these partners have each provided an unduplicated resource to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for more than 20 years."

New icon was a bit disappointing. Too busy, too many details.
One suggestion could be to reduce the puzzle pieces to just one, for simplicity. Not sure if the puzzle piece metaphor is the most optimal. Perhaps something like lego piece would be closer to the concept of keeping bits of code of which you build larger things.
Sorry for commenting rubbish, but I think this app deserves a better icon. If it hadn't been a promising app, I wouldn't care.
Latest version has got a âFile > Save Library (Command-S)â menu item :)
That what I was looking for all day. Thanks, outstanding app. Simple and logical interface. But, as someone mentioned before, where is the save button? :).
You can save the Library manually starting from 0.8.1.
And, to be a little extra picky, I'd like to see a smarter search function. Something with the qualities of TextMate's or LaunchBar's ditto, where you can type just about any letters and by fuzzy logic and some magic sparks, whatever you search for is always found.
There's only one pretty huge bit that I'm missing in this app:
A more dedicated mechanism for storing and presenting clippings of information. Right now, it's mostly geared towards managing snippets of code. But often times I use to copy scattered pieces of info stuff on the web.
Otherwise, I'm still in love with this product.
Quite a reasonable explanation :) Thank you.
How about periodic auto-saves? Is it acceptable solution?
aww man, you can't be serious...
what do you think will happen if the app crashes? or your mac? all the data typed in between the last app-startup and the crash will be gone.
and i'm not willing to restart the app everytime i type something in it just to save my stuff.
Could you please specify why do you need to have the data saved while application is running? Thanks.
great snippets application, but where's the save option? you have to quit the application to save your code snippets.

Germany wasn't the only winner in the 2014 World Cup -- Twitter chatter spiked to record levels during the final match, Google searches went through the digital roof and 88 million extremely enthusiastic Facebook users worldwide made the finale the most-discussed sports event of all time.
The record-smashing numbers reflect a global population increasingly connected by social media, with Silicon Valley providing a platform for shared cross-cultural passion.
"This tells me that social media has become mainstream to the degree that we don't even think about doing it because it's now part of our day-to-day habit," said social media strategist J.D. Lasica, founder of Socialmedia.biz. With the World Cup, "everyone wants to be part of this story and participate on some level, and social media let you feel like you're part of something bigger."
Much bigger.
Facebook reported 280 million likes, posts and comments generated during the game that featured Germany shutting down Argentina 1-0 and claiming the cup for the first time since 1990, according to a post Monday on the social media giant's blog. By comparison, the previous record for Facebook was the 245 million interactions generated during Super Bowl 2013. Earlier, Facebook had reported that the World Cup was the most-talked-about event ever. Just two weeks into the tournament, the social network had logged over a billion interactions.
Facebook's online colleagues reported similarly strong numbers from not just the final match but the entire event, which ran from June 12 to July 13. By the time Sunday's match got underway, for example, Google had already recorded more than 2 billion World Cup-related searches, which the search engine said broke all records for the number of searches about a sporting event.
"This World Cup proved to be the most digital, most connected and most searched global event we've seen to date," said Google Communications Manager Roya Soleimani. She said a team devoted to monitoring search trends watched "107-plus hours of football, shared 35,000 individual data points and spent 200-plus hours designing 1,000 shareable infographics for our first ever World Cup Trends Hub."
Twitter was no slouch either. The San Francisco-based microblogging site said users fired off 618,725 Tweets per minute during the final match. In a blog post, Twitter called that a record, surpassing the 580,166 Tweets per minute during Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Brazil in the semifinals.
Facebook said it measured "the highest level of conversation for any event in history" during the tournament. "From June 12 — July 13, 350 million people joined the conversation on Facebook, generating 3 billion interactions (posts, comments and likes) related to the World Cup," the company said in its post.
And the numbers from Sunday, it said, "make the match the single most-talked-about sporting event in Facebook history."
Twitter turned its red-hot weekend into a compelling online graphic. Partnering with cartodb.com, it showed every Tweet geo-tagged, making it easy to follow the huge volume of chatter as it soared during the course of the final match.
The company also blogged about the final game, with one chart showing TPM, or "tweets per minute,'' for three crucial junctures in the action: Mario Gotze's winning score (556,499 tweets), German's formal victory (618,725) and another 395,773 tweets per minute when Argentina's Lionel Messi was awarded the Golden Ball and a separate honor of being declared the best player of the tournament.
Underscoring the intense interest and passion that the World Cup continues to generate around the globe, Google posted some of the most popular search trends over the course of the tournament. Based on the number of searches, the most popular game was Germany-Brazil, the most popular World Cup city in Brazil was Sao Paulo and the most popular player was Brazil's Neymar, who was knocked out of the tournament after being hurt in the match with Colombia.
The Google team also spotted this curious trend: During the World Cup final, searches in Argentina for the Lord's Prayer were 66 times higher than those for the World Cup song.
But as it turned out, only Germany's prayers were answered.

SAN RAMON -- As the female golden eagle was finally released into the wilderness, its wings propelled it gracefully into the sloping green hills of Las Trampas Regional Park.
And for everyone gathered, it was hard not to think what a long and strange flight, it has been for "Mitey Mite."
The female golden eagle, given that nickname during eight months of treatment and recovery at UC Davis' School of Veterinary Medicine's California Raptor Center, emerged a survivor from a mite infestation researchers are still trying to identify and understand.
And as the creature swirled and swooped through a sunny blue sky Friday morning during her official release into the wilderness, many of the crowd gathered -- a team of rescuers from UC Davis, East Bay Regional Park District and California Department of Fish and Wildlife -- gasped, oohed and ahhed, applauded and let out an "attagirl!" was they watched her glide majestically through the air.
"She just took a lovely glide that way," said Michelle Hawkins, director of the UC Davis California Raptor Center, admiringly as she watched the eagle land on the high hill.
"I was just happy to see what a beautiful first flight she took."
The eagle was first was spotted in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area by K. Shawn Smallwood, an independent researcher who noticed right away there was something odd about the bird, because she had missing feathers and a naked head and neck.
He alerted East Bay Regional Park wildlife biologist Doug Bell, and together, they spent several weeks trying to capture the creature, after again spotting her at Brushy Peak Regional Preserve near Livermore. They trapped her and transferred her to UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine hospital and then brought her to the California Raptor Center, where staff nursed her back to a full recovery.
When first brought in, the bird's head and neck were naked, and her leg and belly had patches of crusty and bare skin, Hawkins said: "I don't know if you've ever seen a Shar Pei dog before, that's what she looked like when she first came into us."
Her first rescuers first named her "Griffy," due to her uncanny resemblance to the griffon vulture, with her bald head -- but over time, as she transformed after extensive rehabilitation, she was given a new name, more fitting to her triumphant comeback: "Mitey Mite."
The mite infestation of golden eagles is of great concern because "it's a new occurrence," said Krysta Rogers, an environmental scientist for California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Also, the type of mite responsible hadn't been previously identified, she said, though other types of mite infestations have occurred in domestic birds, such as parrots and poultry.
"They are an important component of biodiversity in the natural world," Bell said. "And you can find images (of golden eagles) in the old world, the new world, and Native Americans even accord spiritual powers to them. Likewise, countries like Mexico have it on their national flag, and eagles have been on the weapons of Rome going back to ancient times."
"So, humans have always accorded a special power to golden eagle, but they are all beautiful, majestic creatures on their own," he said.

State wildlife officials are asking residents to be on the lookout for other golden eagles or birds that appear to be suffering from feather loss. If you encounter such a bird,don't trap it yourself; contact a local licensed wildlife rehabilitation center for assistance at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/WIL/rehab/facilities.html

UNION CITY -- A proposal to rename Alvarado Middle School has sparked controversy within New Haven Unified, with one side urging the school board to honor the city's large Filipino community, while opponents say that would detract from the area's diversity and drain funds from an already cash-strapped district.
The issue came to a boil Tuesday at a crowded and contentious school board meeting, as the majority of about 200 people there supported renaming the school after Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz, two Filipino-Americans who worked alongside Cesar Chavez while leading the state's farm labor movement in the 1960s. Itliong and Vera Cruz are now deceased.
Last summer, board members considered naming its independent study program after the pair of labor leaders but ultimately decided to call it the Decoto School for Independent Study, said Kari McVeigh, New Haven's superintendent of schools.
"We had a lengthy discussion then over the idea of naming a school that represented the diversity of our district," McVeigh said. "So school board President Linda Canlas brought back the idea of renaming a school in January. Itliong and Vera Cruz have been floated as names for the past 13 years, so it's not as if the Filipino community just suddenly started advocating for them."
After Canlas, who said she supports honoring the Filipino-American leaders, proposed the renaming two months ago, the board formed a 10-member Facility Names Committee to create a list of proposed names. Board members might decide the issue March 19, when they are expected to consider three school names submitted by the committee. "The board can choose one of the names, reject the names, create one of their own, or they can postpone a decision," McVeigh said. "It's far from being a done deal and I'm hesitant to guess which way it can go."
Several New Haven schools have been named after individuals who reflect Union City's diversity: Cesar Chavez Middle, Tom Kitayama Elementary, Guy Emanuele Elementary and Delaine Eastin Elementary.
None of New Haven's schools are named after a Filipino-American, even though 1 out of every 5 Union City residents is of Filipino heritage, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. If the district chooses to honor Itliong and Vera Cruz, it would become the nation's first to name a school after a Filipino-American, said Mel Orpilla, president of the Filipino American National Historical Association.
Maria Inciong, a longtime Union City resident, said she supports the renaming. "I did not learn the history of Filipino-Americans in the farmworker movement until I attended UCLA, and that's unfortunate," said Inciong, a Filipino-American whose son attends a Union City elementary school. "The school renaming has come up before, but it always gets set aside, and once again the Filipino-American contribution is not acknowledged."
But opponents of the change, such as parent Anju Sharma, said the issue will divide students, focusing on their differences instead of what they have in common.
"We are so diverse; that's the beautiful thing about Union City," said Sharma, an immigrant from India. "We all need to be honored; how do we decide who matters and who doesn't matter? I see children being divided over this."
Others say they oppose it because Alvarado, a community that formed in the 1850s, is a big part of the Tri-City area's tradition. It also was one of two communities -- Decoto was the other -- that combined when Union City incorporated in 1959.
Alvarado Middle School, which has 1,419 students attending grades 6 through 8, is at 31604 Alvarado Blvd., on the western side of the city, whose population is 69,516. Supporters of the name change say the community's tradition will live on with Alvarado Elementary, a campus next to the middle school with the same name. Some proponents say they see a double standard in Union City, where next week the sports center will be renamed for former Mayor Mark Green -- who is white -- without any of the controversy dogging the proposals to honor Itliong and Vera Cruz.
Renaming the school will cost the district around $10,000, said Akur Varadarajan, New Haven's chief business officer. Some opponents say now is not the time for the district to pay that tab when, like many districts statewide, it still is making budget cuts. The city's Filipino-American community has offered to hold fundraisers to offset those fees, said Joe Ku'e Angeles, a James Logan High School counselor who favors the renaming.
"We should not put a price tag on diversity," he said.

Really slick piece of software, with elegant interface and relevant information always nicely presented to user. A shining example of what the Mac software design philosophy is all about.
Super Software
Toast-it integrates wonderfully, and knows just what to do with the data. I love taking any ripped, uploaded or downloaded video files and simply right-clicking and selecting toast it to make a DVD. I've used Nero on the PC, but I'd hate to be stuck using anything other than Toast now.
Can be useful to mount disc images (eg: .iso) that aren't mounted properly by Disk Utility.
Detailed change log is here: http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/toast/software_updates.html
the best!!!!
like NERO
Unfortunately I get the dreaded hardware error on lead-outs on all my DL media using either my MBP internal or my LG external DVD-R drive...Disco doesn't burns them just fine
Version 9 is out, new features and comparison with versions 8 and 7 are here
I'm still running Toast 7. When I bought it, it was the only application that supported my external burner. The price is steep, the feature set is limited. But I use Toast almost daily. It's a universal tool: burn disks from images, create images, create DVDs from EyeTV recordings, create ISO disks for universal acces on all platforms, ... Toast 7 just works. Nothing fancy, but useful.
Expensive but great. Used Burn for a while, but it doesn't do nearly as many things as Toast. I bought it when I had to shrink DVDs.

VA: Backlog of Claims Didn't Grow During Shutdown
By Ben Kesling
Despite warnings of a backup of veteran-benefits claims because of the government shutdown, Veterans Affairs tallies show the claims backlog held steady during the two-week furlough period.
The VA's backlog of claims 125-days-old or greater has fallen to 411,704 as of Oct. 19, down from 414,022 on Oct. 12, 418,711 on Oct. 5, and 421,793 on Sept. 28, according to the VA. These reporting periods all overlap the shutdown period.
Taken from the start and end dates, backlog claims were essentially flat during the two-week shutdown, beginning at 418,472 on Oct. 1 and falling slightly to 417,560 on Oct. 16.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki said in Oct. 9 testimony before Congress that claims processors were losing ground during the shutdown. But the net negative impact didn't appear.
"The question really is: What would it have been absent the shutdown?" said a VA spokesman Monday. "At the point at which [Mr. Shinseki] testified, who knew how long [the shutdown] was going to take?"
The backlog didn't drop as fast as it has in prior months—for instance, during a two-week period in August, it fell by 22,000—but claims processors still chipped away at it during the shutdown.
"This drop is stunning in light of the administration's threats the backlog would increase as a result of a government shutdown," said Rep. Doug Lamborn (R., Colo.) member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee in a statement.
During Mr. Shinseki's testimony before the House Veterans Affairs Committee, he warned of backlog increases. He said claims-processing momentum had "stalled," and that claims-processing staff had been slashed to "minimum levels necessary to continue mandatory payment processing." He said overtime had ceased and the VA's portion of the budget set aside for claims processors' overtime was being drained, threatening to derail backlog processing well into next fiscal year.
"While the impact of the shutdown on the backlog doesn't appear to be as severe as some had feared, at the very least, it's comforting to know that the current strategy in place is enough to continue reductions, even without overtime," said Rep. Mike Michaud (D., Maine), the ranking member of the committee.
Backlog numbers have befuddled the VA for years and only recently have begun to drop thanks to a focus on digitization of the claims process, processors working overtime, and outside scrutiny of the backlog. In March, President Obama focused attention on the issue when he praised VA efforts before a conference of the Disabled American Veterans.
Despite boasting of a falling backlog, the VA wasn't able to meet its own goals for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. On June 30, the end of the third quarter, the VA had planned on completing 1.27 million total claims. But end of year statements showed the VA completed only 1.17 million claims.
"Instead of debating whether or not VA's dire predictions regarding the shutdown's impact came to fruition, I remain focused on a much more important question: Why is the department still falling short of its own backlog goals?" said Rep Jeff Miller (R., Fla.) chairman of the House VA committee.
In a statement on Oct. 17, once the federal government reopened, Mr. Shinseki said, "Due to the shutdown, VA claims processors were unable to continue working 20 hours of overtime per month to reduce the backlog of claims," but didn't comment on his prior testimony to Congress.

Aiken, SC--He's been one of the dean of high school coaches in the area, but now Carey Johnson has decided to step down and resign as head coach of the Aiken Hornets. All told he spent 18 years on the sideline and will turn the reigns over to a new coach.
During his tenure with the Hornets, Johnson amassed a 135 and 88 career record including 13 playoff appearances. The last few seasons have been tough though and are coming off a 2 and 9 year. The highlight of his tenure was back in 200 when they lost to Greenwood in the state title game.
Aiken principal Garen Cofer said they tried just about everything to get Johnson to stay but he wouldn't. He will remain as the schools athletic director and right after spring break the search for a new coach for the hornets will begin.
