I believe the collective term for these callers is 'ass-clowns'.

Dare I say I actually agree with the government that it's unfair on local businesses that purchasing the goods overseas can be tax free (for goods under $1000, everything else was subject to import duties and GST anyway).
you need to put down the crackpipe. People buying stuff overseas is NOT about them wanting to save on the TINY amount that GST introduces.
Seriously folks, GST on $1000 is how much exactly? oh yeah it's $100.
Yet you see things like womens shoes for $700 here and LITERALLY HALF THAT in America, and more often than not THAT INCLUDES FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
Australian consumers are BEING RIPPED OFF left, right and centre and retarded businesses CRY FOUL AND GET THE GST APPLIED even though IT CHANGES NOTHING other than FURTHER RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS.
That GST goes to the government, not ANY business, and your POTENTIAL customers who buy from overseas because YOUR PRICES ARE UNJUSTIFIABLY HIGH (seriously, more than twice the price IS unjustifiable) are NOT going to buy from you because their prices increased by 10%.
Having said that: I make a point of BUYING LOCALLY rather than "from the internet" (despite the convenience, and cost savings) as long as my additional cost is NOT SERIOUSLY SIGNIFICANT.
yes folks, I have in the past and will in the future continue to buy "here" rather than "online" despite the fact that it costs me (a little) more, but if I can find *exactly* the same thing for 50% or even 100% more than the 'internet' price, I WILL shop online.
No tax refund for you if you don't buy a government-approved insurance policy.
Not even vaguely anything like the same thing.
An Insurance Policy is to protect you, this proposition is to protect EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL.
rational anti-vaxxers
Assuming you don't mean people with autoimmune disorders or legitimate allergies, I'm really curious to know what exactly falls into this category.
Just to be clear, people in those groupings you mentioned aren't actually "anti-vaxers" they're just people who cannot take (some/all) vaccinations.
By this I mean they're not against the principle of vaccination, and they most likely DESPERATELY WISH THEY COULD.
No it's not. Apple does not support NVME so there are no NVME drives in any Apple products.

The purpose of a free press is to promote a knowledgeable society. If the agenda is to stomp out the stupidity of the masses and their dangerous influence over lawmakers then yes, I welcome these agenda-toting muckrakers of truth with open arms.
No, the purpose of The Press is to sow Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt amongst the general population and THEN (and ONLY then) to TELL PEOPLE HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE AND WHY to think.
At least, that's (a) what the politicians believe (b) what the editors believe (c) what most of the people end up believing.

Mabel Virginia Palm
Mabel Virginia (Aune) Palm was born March 30, 1930, in Glasgow to Andrew and Signe (Johnson) Aune and died at the age of 83 on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013, from cancer, at home like she wanted.
She grew up north of Saco on the family homestead and was confirmed into the Saco Lutheran Church on May 14, 1944. She graduated from Saco High School in 1948.
She married Carl Palm on Sept. 7, 1952, in Malta. Their son, Corby, was born Sept. 13, 1956.
In 1947, at the age of 17, she started working as a waitress for O'Brien's Café. She worked there until 2002, minus one year when she and Carl lived in Dodson, totaling 55 years of waitressing. She loved the morning coffee drinkers and hearing all the daily news.
She was featured in the Montana magazine May-June 1985 issue and the Bozeman Daily Chronicle in 2002. She loved being outside gardening, doing yard work, seeing the baby animals on the ranch, helping with branding, and in recent years enjoyed taking care of the rabbits around her house. No matter what, she always kept busy.
She enjoyed going to her grandsons' basketball games. During any basketball tournament you would find her having two or three radios going, listening to all the games at once and keeping her stats.
When Carl died in 1990, she took over Palm Dairy and kept it going until Dec. 1, 2013. You could find her out on her daily walk before daylight most mornings. She was given a reflector vest so she could be seen.
Her grandsons and great-grandchildren were very important to her. She always wanted to know what and how they were doing. She waited for her morning visit from Corby, and if he didn't make it for a few days, she let him know.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl; four sisters, Agnes, Edna, Agda and Inga; and one brother, Arthur.
Survivors include one son, Corby Palm and his wife, Lorri, of Saco/Hinsdale; grandsons, Cody Palm and his wife, Tina, of Hinsdale and Joshua Palm and his wife, Miranda, of Glasgow; and six great-grandchildren, Sacarra, Drake, Whitney, Taylor, Jon and Allie.
Funeral services were held at Dec. 18 at Saco Lutheran Church, followed by interment in the Grandview Cemetery in Saco.
Bell Mortuary of Glasgow was in charge of arrangements.

This is a minor but fundamental bug in the design of supercache IMHO
On most server configurations,
$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] will happily return whatever the heck the user's browser sent in it's headers, even if it's malformed on purpose. Supercache attempts to filter it, but only in a trivial way.
However if you'd use
$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] instead, it will come from the apache/php environement instead which is far more trustworthy.
This is why when you look at your supercache directory will will see things like uppercase hostnames or subdomains that aren't even real - it's your server being probed by bad code from the http headers and supercache dutifully creating a directory for the request.
SERVER_NAME would help avoid that
Setup a PHPINFO page and play with your http headers and url and see the difference.

I completed One and Big Cash, and had my friend try it first. He wasn't credited but received and email and because he used my computer, he didn't get the credit because of the same ip address. I never got any money in my pay pal account, I became frustrated and gave up because I realized that I needed to know who I will be dealing with and how they operated there business if I ever gave it another try.
As far as the sponsor, same thing, no response and when I got one, he made me feel like I was stupid, I was afraid to call him, so I reached out to others like some of you did and still go no response. I feel there is some potential in this thing, and even if its simple.....you still need guidance

Does the Town of Tonawanda Police Department have a problem with African-Americans? Some residents think so, and there's enough of an issue that town and police leaders need to take the question seriously.
The issue burst into public view earlier this month, when a town resident, Robert A. Harris Sr., reported that police stopped the bus he was on in order to question him about a report of a suspicious black male wandering around the area of a Walgreens store. Harris had been seen running in the vicinity which, in the eyes of police officers, made him suspicious. No crime had been reported and, as Harris told the officers who stopped his bus, he was running so he wouldn't miss it.
What was the purpose of the stop? Would police have stopped a public bus because a white man was reported running when no crime had been committed? Would they have demanded the identification of a white man going about his business, and run a computer check for outstanding warrants – all when they had no real reason to question him in the first place? It smacks of New York City's intolerable stop-and-frisk policy that Mayor-elect William de Blasio has pledged to end.
After The Buffalo News published a story about that event, another African-American man came forward. William Howard said Tonawanda Police came to his door after a bank robbery. Howard said he had seen a slightly built black man on the ground, handcuffed, with four white officers standing over him near Niagara Falls Boulevard.
He believes they saw him walking in the vicinity before they came to his apartment building, demanding identification and treating him like a suspect.
"I was really upset," Howard said. "I have never been arrested in my life. I am not a thug. I'm a veteran. I served my country. You can't just paint everyone with the same brush. What they did was wrong." He believes the department is consciously profiling black men.
Lt. Nicholas A. Bado, a Police Department spokesman, said police had information from another agency that a potential suspect was living in that building. Yet even when Howard showed officers his driver's license, an officer asked Howard's white neighbor to confirm his identity.
What is more, Howard said, police later showed him a photo of someone, presumably a suspect, who looked nothing like him. Bado backed up his officers by noting – unpersuasively – that different people will have different perceptions of whether people look similar.
Most recently, Jimmy Ying, owner of Ying's Wings and Things on Eggert Road, complained about police conduct. Six African-American employees vouched for his character and said they, themselves, had been unfairly targeted for traffic stops and given tickets for minor infractions. Police and the Town Board denied any prejudice and Police Chief Anthony J. Palombo accused Ying of running an "unruly premises."
None of this adds up to proof that Tonawanda Police are profiling, but there's more evidence against them than they had on Harris or Howard. There is at least some probable cause here and Palombo and the Town Board are doing themselves and their municipality a grave disservice if they don't take it seriously.
Police need the respect and cooperation of the people they are paid to protect if they are to do their jobs well. Even the perception of prejudice can hinder them in performing their duties. That perception is already there. The question is whether there is truth behind it. The town needs to find out.

All my life, growing up in the capitalist United States economy, the success of the system has depended on growth. This is widely recognized, and growth is often invoked as a remedy for economic problems. "Growth " has become a business (and, by extension, government) mantra – the panacea for all our ills. Unfortunately, this makes no sense at a very fundamental level. How big will we grow and how much resources will we devour reaching the point where population is completely unsustainable, and famine and disease roam the world killing millions? Can we stop worshipping growth now?

Is "Meeting the Demand" Setting the Stage for Bigger Catastrophes?
The Future of Cyber Warfare Is Here – What's Next?
Programming computers is a skill that can be learned, and a lot can be learned about it with very little investment in hardware and software. That enables people from almost every society on earth, including dangerous psychopaths, to build programming skills and use computers as they choose. Civilization is so dependent on the internet here in 2015 that I expect we have passed the point where a major, multi-day failure of the internet wouldn't be accompanied by at least some people starving. That puts a lot of power at the fingertips of internet users, but a great deal more in the hands of those who can write software. People never stop learning, and some of them, rogue programmers, are sociopaths with bad intent for the rest of us. So what bad deeds are they carrying out that we don't know about yet? Can we know?

An Excellent Explanation of Our Climate Prospects in 2015
An excellent article recently appeared at Spiegel Online International titled "The Warming World: Is Capitalism Destroying Our Planet?" and I highly recommend reading it through to the end. In it the authors give in-depth information on the current status of the global climate, relating it back to human activity and national and international politics. (Millions of tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere every day has to have an impact, sooner or later.) The politics of various key nations and the negotiations at past climate conferences are described, and a lot of the latest climate science is brought forth. The topic is a bit frightening but of such critical importance to us that, really, every adult should have to read this article (whether they believe it or not).
Then, better informed, we need to take action, vote for politicians who are deserving, and "clean up our acts" by making many changes in our selves, our decisions, and our lifestyles in order to preserve a reasonably habitable world for our kids. The trouble is … it might already be too late.

Will Religion Help or Hinder in the Growing Overpopulation Crisis?
Religion typically requires faith, the suspension of disbelief and reason, an extreme gullibility, if only temporary. My worry is that many religious people don't return to reason. Such people can be very difficult to deal with. Some of them are fanatics, or are evolved into fanatics by clever manipulation. Isn't reason essential to our survival? Continue reading

Book Review: The Runaway Brain
Did you ever wonder how we got to where we are as a species? Have you ever wondered why it is we humans who are here and so successful, and not Cro-Magnon man or some intelligent ape? If you would like to better understand human evolution, the question of whether both the sophistication of our brains and the size of our population will become a detriment to our survival, and the history of related genetic research you will find The Runaway Brain by Christopher Wills both interesting and rewarding. While it is deeply scientific in nature, the book is written in an accessible style and made up mostly of the accounts of the author's and other scientists' challenges and accomplishments in the study of the evolution of humanity and, more specifically, the human brain. Dr. Wills provides an integrated scientific and historical view of how the human brain, like the peacock's tail, has been an evolutionary advantage that has spurred it to grow larger and larger. After describing the intricate web of factors that have created our "runaway brain" he provides us with these final, telling insights:
The unique nature of runaway brain evolution is that it has the capability of releasing us from the prison of our genes. Surely we are now too smart to go on breeding ourselves into extinction, destroying most of the rest of the species on the planet in the process. Surely we are too smart to blow ourselves up with the nuclear weapons that have been provided by our runaway brains. The long saga of the human species has been one of selection for intelligence, not stupidity. It is time we woke up to that fact.
If you have any interest in the evolution of humanity you will find this an interesting and rewarding book. Dr. Wills has subsequently written several other works, Children Of Prometheus, The Accelerating Pace Of Human Evolution (1999), The Spark Of Life: Darwin And The Primeval Soup (2001) and The Darwinian Tourist: Viewing the World Through Evolutionary Eyes (late 2010) which you might also find interesting. Dr. Wills also received the 1999 Award for the Public Understanding of Science and Technology from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. For the complexity of the material I have found Dr. Wills' work a surprisingly easy read, and I hope you will, too. As always, I appreciate your comments, and thanks for reading. — Tim

Overpopulation – The Root Cause of Our Problems – Why Is It a Taboo Topic?
(This is a reprint of a recent posting in my personal blog that I think is quite appropriate to share here. Please comment if you like . Thanks for reading. – Tim)
Why is overpopulation taboo? It is incredibly frustrating to see so many people and organizations thrashing around over climate change and related issues when none of those problems would exist if we weren't overpopulating the planet. The problems of epidemic and famine that will emerge over the next two or three decades will compound our relatively new problems with weather and increasing sea levels, and it is likely that at least a few billion people will die untimely deaths before the end of this century, all attributable to the human population explosion. Isn't a focus on reducing birthrates worldwide what we really need? Are we putting ourselves at risk by addressing the more superficial issues and ignoring the root cause? Continue reading

Mixed News and Misconceptions Regarding Our Future
Awareness of humanity's biggest problems is rising. While there appears to finally be a slow groundswell of popular understanding and alarm about what humans are doing to the planet (which is quite late but very good), there is still a lot of mishandling (and often misrepresentation) of the news. This results in persistent widespread misconceptions about our position and probable future on the planet. So what kinds of things are we "not getting"? Continue reading

End of Summer Recipe: Three Cheese Tomato Tart
I've had piles of heirloom tomatoes sprawled across my counter tops for what seems like weeks now, so it was now or never. But this time around, I decided to give my retro tomato pie a little makeover. Not feeling domestic enough to whip up a pie crust, I figured frozen puff pastry might be just the solution to cut a few minutes from the recipe. I adjusted the other ingredient amounts, and what do you know? Perfection.
This makes a perfect summer appetizer, but I enjoyed it as a special lunch all on my own. This is one of those recipes that just takes you aback the first time you have a bite. You just won't believe how delicious (and easy) it is! And then you find yourself standing in the kitchen,
shoveling eating slices without even getting a plate. And that's when you know you've had success, right?
Three Cheese Tomato Tart
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°.
Lay out the tomato slices on a large sheet of paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and allow to drain for approximately 30 minutes (this is crucial to not getting a watery tart). Meanwhile, remove the sheet of puff pastry from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Unfold the puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pinching to close any holes in the seams. Using a fork, prick the dough all over to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the entire puff pastry. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Arrange the tomato slices over the cheese. Season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Grate a generous amount of Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the pastry from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve immediately.

'I will only employ fat, gay stylists': Hair salon boss Andrew Rodgers faces sex discrimation hearing
- From: news.com.au
- March 22, 2013
A HAIR salon boss threatened to only employ "fat, gay and lesbian" stylists because he was sick of staff taking maternity leave, a tribunal has heard.
Andrew Rodgers, 34, is facing a sex discrimination hearing in Sheffield, England for allegedly accusing his female staff of "draining resources" by going on maternity leave, the Daily Mail reports.
He reportedly justified his threat by saying gay people were less likely to have children, and he also included fat, heterosexual people because "no one would have a baby with a fat person".
Mr Rodgers has three Funky Divas salons in Sheffield, and allegedly resented employing women at his business.
Witnesses reported him bullying women who became pregnant, because he did not want them to take maternity leave.
Nail technician Kirsty Diver told the tribunal she had been reprimanded for taking time off work to have her baby.
"He stated that in future he will be employing only fat, gay and lesbian members of staff as no one would want to have a baby with a fat person and gays and lesbians would not need to be off for maternity or paternity leave," she said, according to the Daily Mail.
The tribunal also reportedly heard that one stylist had a miscarriage in the toilets while doing a client's nails, but was too scared to tell him.
Mr Rodgers is fighting the claims.
The hearing was adjourned.

JC MSFL Matchday 9 preview
There are some mouth-watering clashes in store in the JC Cyril Anekstein Cup, as well as a handful of matches in the JC MSFL. Danny Caro looks ahead to all the action on Matchday 9 of the season.
PREM DIV: REDBRIDGE JC A vs NL RAIDERS A
DIV 1: REDBRIDGE JC B vs TEMPLE FORTUNE A
DIV 2: REDBRIDGE JC C vs FAITHFOLD C
DIV 3: BLIZZARD STORM vs HENDON UTD SC C
TEMPLE FORTUNE A vs WOODFORD WANDERERS
Consolidation looks to be the name of the game for both Fortune and Woodford this season.
Fortune went up as champions last season while the Wanderers profited from a league restructure.
Of the two teams, Fortune have made the better start despite the loss of star defender Scott Shindler over the summer.
Summer signings Jason Miller and Paul Rubenstein featured in last week's hard earned draw against unbeaten Redbridge B at Fairlop. Keeper Steve Murad earned a place in my Team of the Week after an excellent display in nets while Brett Stead also came in for special praise from my reporter.
Now manager Lee Fegan is looking forward to another clash against a team from east London. Reflecting on last week's point, he told JC Sport: "We had the edge in the first half and played lovely football. Last 10 minutes of the first half we let them back in, and in the second half they pegged us back."
Fegan also felt that his troops should have been awarded a penalty, although his comments were less controversial than those of AVB after the QPR game. "I thought we should have had a penalty claim towards the end. He definitely clipped Michael Goldberg. But we should have had our men back and we should have played to the whistle. We were punished for it," he said.
Woodford have made a woeful start in the league. The absence of Mitch Hahn has resulted in a lack of goals. Manager Alex Aviram has been working hard to bring in some new faces with a strike partner for Jerome Marks the priority.
They have failed to register in 360 minutes in the league and I've heard reports that Aviram re-introduced the barn door to training this week.
I expect home advantage to play a part on Sunday, enabling Fortune to take the points.
JC star man: Matt Gilberry (Fortune)
DC Prediction: Temple Fortune A 2 Woodford Wanderers 1
L'EQUIPE vs FAITHFOLD B
L'Equipe felt they had turned the corner following the recent win in the cup, but they were given a rude awkening by Hendon B last week.
Five goals flew in without reply so once again, manager David Prager must raise spirits ahead of Sunday's meeting with Faithfold B.
Meeting for the first time this season, L'Equipe's problem is simple they haven't scored enough and they concede too freely.
Faithfold were edged out by high-flying Camden last weekend. That was their first defeat in the league and it's vital that they bounce back here.
I'm tipping the boys in green and white to run out narrow winners in a hard fought contest.
Venue – Copthall, Ref – A. Myerson
JC star man: Ben Lewis (Faithfold)
DC Prediction: L'Equipe 2 Faithfold B 3
NORSTAR B vs FC TEAM B
FC Team boss Ben Simon is in buoyant mood ahead of Sunday's trip to the Ark.
Last weekend his boys claimed a famous win at Rowley Lane with Adam Goldsmith and Philip Braham on target in a 2-1 win against Lions B.
After the game, Simon told JC Sport: "We played well in the first half and were unlucky to go in at 1-1. In the second half it was a backs-to-the-wall job, we put in a very resilient performance and then snatched victory in the closing minutes with a great strike from Phil.
"I'm very pleased with how everybody performed and we go into the next game full of confidence."
Having won three and lost three, consistency is now the name of the game for FC Team and they will go to the Ark believing they can take at least a point.
Norstar's search for that elusive first league win goes into a fifth match. They were soundly beaten by Glenthorne A last weekend and manager Jonny Bunt will be looking for an all-round improvement.
I think the first goal will be crucial on Sunday and can see FC Team going from strength to strength.
Venue – Ark Academy, Ref – N. Cohen
JC star man: Philip Braham (FC Team)
DC Prediction: Norstar B 1 FC Team B 2
UJIA vs BLIZZARD STORM
UJIA will be looking to finish the weekend joint-second when they welcome struggling Blizzard to the Lodge.
Manager Darren Rolfe could not have been happier last weekend when they put Los Blancos to the sword, running out 5-1 winners.
Israeli hotshot Assi Avital rolled back the years with a vintage display, with Ben Nassim finishing the job. Experienced defender Gavin Sherman put in another excellent 90 minutes at the back alongside the commanding Jeremy Leigh.
Blizzard's best result of the season to date came in the cup, but they have fallen short of the mark in the league so far. No wins from five is not the kind of start that manager Simon Linden was looking for.
Speaking after last week's 2-2 draw against Hendon C, Linden told JC Sport: "This was the story of our season so far. We dominated large parts of the game but let them in twice and drew. Luck has to change as we should be murdering teams like Hendon."
UJIA have the bit between their teeth right now and I can see their momentum helping them over the line again. It should be a cracker.
Venue – Chase Lodge, Ref – H. Raffe
JC star man: Jeremy Leigh (UJIA)
DC Prediction: UJIA 3 Blizzard Storm 2
ATHLETICO FINCHLEY vs TEMPLE FORTUNE B
Terry Jeffries' troops are odds-on coming away from Copthall with maximum points when they take on Athletico.
Fortune were back to their best last week when the free-scoring Joey Glynne and Adam Glekin were the scorers in a battling 2-1 win over Brixton B.
A relieved Glekin told JC Sport: "We were missing a few key men but I thought we shaded it and deserved the win.
"It was a real team effort and shows we've got depth in the squad which should stand us in good stead for the rest of the season."
The Finchley boys were hit for six by leaders Raiders C last Sunday. It's been a tough start for Dovid Kurzer and co who have conceded an average of five goals a week so far.
I can't see their luck changing on Sunday against a Fortune team who are particularly menacing at set-pieces.
Venue – Copthall, Ref – D. Nathan
JC star man: Adam Glekin (Fortune)
DC Prediction: Athletico Finchley 1 Temple Fortune B 3
BOCA JEWNIORS vs JEWVENTUS
Revenge is the name of the game for Boca on Sunday as they look to right the wrongs of last weekend's 4-1 defeat against the Jewve boys.
Three goals from Nigel Sommeck steered Gabriel John's troops to their first win of the season. They have a great chance to double up against a team that is struggling to put the ball in the net.
Speaking after the game last Sunday, John told JC Sport: "All in all a good day at the office for Jewve, and a return leg comes as early as next week, so we'll be hoping for more of the same."
Boca had their chances but they have been unable to locate the onion bag on a regular basis this term.
Farrell Monk told JC Sport: "I felt that my team were fashioning better chances, especially on the break, but after winning a lot from countless corners and throw-ins, we weren't able to take the ball up field for our attackers to cause more effective damage.
"The game could have swung either way right up until their goal, but we need to learn to keep the floodgates closed.
"I am pleased with the spirit of our team to keep the effort up throughout, despite going 4-0
"There are certainly positive to take forward and we are very much so looking forward to facing Jewventus again this Sunday.
My money is on another Jewve win.
Venue – South Oxhey, Ref – R. Benardout
JC star man: Nigel Sommeck (Jewventus)
DC Prediction: Boca Jewniors 2 Jewventus 3
BRIXTON OLD BOYS vs SPEC FC
Improving Brixton B will be no pushover for a SPEC FC team well-placed to mount a sustained promotion push.
Daniel Selt's men were edged out by Temple Fortune B last Sunday. Jason Lee was their scorer although it wasn't the one who used to have a pineapple on his head!
With games in hand on the top two, Sunday is a must-win for Laurence Conway's troops and I expect them to bring a healthy support to Clowes.
The partnership of Ricky Lawrence and Marc Hecht is proving to be one of the best in the division and with Craig Cohen waiting in the wings, I think this will be a key area on Sunday.
Venue – Clowes, Ref – M. Cohen
JC star man: Ashley Lawrence (SPEC)
DC Prediction: Brixton B 0 SPEC FC 1
GLENTHORNE UNITED B vs SHIRLEY PARK
One of the ties of the round sees Division Three title rivals Glenthorne B take on free-scoring Shirley Park.
Player-manager Craig Sandford helped the Thornes return to winning ways following the recent derby defeat against Chigwell with a hard-earned victory over Neasden C.
I expect Sunday's battle to be even tougher against a Shirley team in top gear.
Saul Conway bagged another five goals in his pursuit of the Golden Boot in the 12-1 drubbing of JLGB. Now Shirley are favourites to finish as the top-scorers in the MSFL this season.
Both teams will be looking to land a big psychological blow ahead of two crunch meetings in the league.
Sparks could fly in a tie between two teams that are going places.
JC star man: Stefan Benfredj (Shirley)
DC Prediction: Glenthorne Utd B 2 Shirley Park 2 AET (Shirley to win on penalties)
ATHLETIC BILBAUM vs NORTH WEST NEASDEN A
Bilbaum beware. That is the message coming out of the Neasden camp. I fear a big backlash as the NWN go into the tie on the back of two defeats against Hendon, which has really put a spanner in the works in terms of their title dreams.
Darren Yarlett, NWN's joint-manager, believed that "only one team played football' over the two games so he will be looking to set the record straight with a handsome victory on Sunday.
I expect Neasden to make great use of width in Hampstead on Sunday with the likes of Elliot Stern and Bradley Sharp key to their plans. It will certainly be a case of attack, attack, attack for the visitors on Sunday and I strongly advise Bilbaum to defend in numbers.
Mark Pasha's men warmed-up for the tie with an impressive 3-0 victory over FC Team C last Sunday.
Sam Roth (2) and Ben Bell did the damage as the team registered their first clean sheet of the season.
You can get 150-1 on Bilbaum shutting Neasden out. It's 2-1 Neasden scoring in the first 10 minutes with Ed Green 12-1 to score first.
Sunday is definitely one for the romantics. It's vital Bilbaum turn up believing they can win and don't give Neasden the red carpet treatment.
Venue - Hampstead Heath Extension
JC star man: Elliot Stern (Neasden)
DC Prediction: Athletic Bilbaum 0 NW Neasden A 7
MONTANA BOCA UNITED vs FC TEAM C
I don't expect Montana to have too many problems against fourth division FC Team C on Sunday.
Viv Emanuel's troops were edged out 3-2 by Harmen B last Sunday so it's vital they run out comfortable winners here.
It certainly won't be a case of Montana just needing to turn up to win as FC Team have some very decent players.
James Sandler bagged a brace for Montana last week and his battle against FC Team giant Rob Sanford could be worth the admission fee alone.
With Trevor Henen back in action and club chairman Raymond Harrod having dusted away the cobwebs, home fans will be looking for their heroes to put on a real show.
FC Team will have a point to prove after being out-gunned 3-0 against Bilbaum last Sunday.
Manager Michael Myers will be slightly concerned that his team has failed to score in three games and I don't expect an experienced Montana team to give them an early Chanukah gift here.
Venue - The Hive
JC star man: Trevor Henen (Montana)
DC Prediction: Montana Boca Utd 4 FC Team C 1
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS C vs CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI
If you're looking for an upset on Sunday, then this could be your game.
Raiders C are flying at the minute although manager Oli Shorts and Rich Abrahams would much rather be preparing their troops for a league clash.
They have looked the bees knees so far this season with goals coming from all over the park.
Last Sunday they hit Athletico Finchley for six, making it 20 goals in six games. Ben Hart and Darren Russell bagged brace with Rob Samuelson and Matt Bennett putting the icing on the cake.
Hart has really hit a purple patch of form while Bennett looks more polished by the game. He certainly looks set for a bright future in the game.
This tie has a real banana skin feel about it for Catford but I know they are capable of putting in a special display when it really matters.
There's every chance that Shorts could rotate his squad and look to give some of the fringe players a run-out.
He will still be desperate to win the game with confidence sky high and his players will need no motivation, pitting their wits against a team from a higher division.
Catford have several potential match-winners in their ranks. Young keeper Guy Ben-Aroya has been receiving rave reviews while Ashley Stokes and Eli Baraty provide moments of sheer inspiration.
One thing looks certain. This will be a great advert for Jewish football.
Venue - Norsemen FC
JC star man: Guy Ben-Aroya (Catford)
DC Prediction: NL Raiders C 3 Catford & Bromley Maccabi 3 AET (Catford to win on penalties)
BRADY MACCABI B vs SOUTHGATE HARMEN A
Both Brady B and Harmen A go into the game nice and fresh after having last weekend off.
Josh Dagul's Brady have made a brilliant start to the season - winning four on the spin in the league and knocking the Masters out of the Morrison.
James Joseph and Reiss Mogliner are now firm favourites with the fans and they will be the men that Dagul looks to in terms of taking the fight to Harmen.
Experience comes in the form of Jonny Meltzer and Jerome Colmans who, no doubt, will be looking to take Harmen the distance.
Dan Uzan has put together a strong squad this season, with keeper Matt Davis and Craig Ellis his marquee signings.
Strikers Zack White and Alex Bourne will prove a handful for any defence in the MSFL with Bourne going into the game on the back of an impressive display for the club's B team last Sunday.
The pace, skill and energy of Nick Gold, Nicky Bord, Ben Harris and Adam Velleman ensure that Harmen will ask plenty of questions of the Brady defence, while the calming influence of Grant Taylor will look to nullify any chance of an upset.
I can see Brady giving as good as they get for an hour or so, but then Harmen will go into over-drive.
JC star man: Zack White (Harmen)
DC Prediction: Brady B 1 Southgate Harmen A 3
FC TEAM A vs BRADY MACCABI A
FC Team boss Mitch Young is keen to get last week's match against Lions out of his system.
He felt his team was wronged after they went down 4-3 in a highly-charged atmosphere.
But Young and co will have to put that to the back of their minds on Sunday when Premier Division rivals Brady come to town.
Richard Salmon, Craig Edwards and David Ossack registered for FC Team last Sunday, although Ossack went from hero to villain after being sent off.
Now Young is targeting a place in a cup final and having beaten Brady 2-0 earlier this month, it's no surprise that the bookies fancy them to edge it.
Simon Peterman and Salmon fired the bullets that sent Brady tumbling in the recent league meeting.
The draws have been unkind to Josh Rosenfeld's Brady this season, with North London Raiders A their opponents in the Peter Morrison Trophy.
But as tough as the draws might be, Rosenfeld knows that his boys are good enough and they fear no-one.
With Jonny Ellis, Steve Field, Josh Hershman, Alex Hershman and Jon Green in their ranks, they will be quietly confident of booking their place in the next round.
I can see Sunday being another close game with not many goals. I have a feeling that it could be settled by a moment of magic.
Venue - Meadow Park
JC star man: Simon Peterman (FC Team)
DC Prediction: FC Team A 2 Brady Maccabi A 1
HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB A vs GLENTHORNE UNITED A
Can anyone stop Hendon? That is the million dollar question being asked by supporters up and down the land right now.
My pre-season tips for the Premier Division title go into this tie on the back of back-to-back wins over Neasden A. They just couldn't ask to be in better form right now. As things stand, they could do a clean sweep this season but manager David Garbacz will be keen to take it one step at a time.
With Greg Corin and Danny Kon doing the business at one end and Russell Corin and Alex Rosenthal on top of their game at the other, it's hard to find a weak link anywhere in the team.
I expect them to register a hard-earned win on Sunday against an honest and hard-working Glenthorne team.
Dan Lipman's boys got back to winning ways in the league last weekend but they will find the Hammers a cut above.
I fully expect Glenthorne to huff and puff, but in the end, Hendon will blow their house down.
JC star man: Josh Bentley (Hendon)
DC Prediction: Hendon Utd SC A 3 Glenthorne Utd A 0
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B vs TEAM JLGB
It won't take a genius to work out who I'm tipping for glory on Sunday.
Raiders B have just beaten Faithfold and not even the dreaded JC Manager of the Week curse will stop Rob Richman's men from going through here.
I've even had some Raiders fans asking where the nearest Rymans is to Brunel as they go in search of an abacus to keep tabs on the score.
Last Sunday David Dinkin and Dan Grossman scored the goals that earned the team what Richman described as their "best-ever victory in the MSFL". It was certainly a proud moment for the club. Dinkin has been one of the success stories of the season. He led Faithfold a merry dance.
Midfield maestro Elliott Espinoza put in a real shift. It's not every day that someone gets the better of Alex Levack but pocket rocket Esp gave a top-notch display, as did Stuart Haring and James Foley-Comer at the back. They put in a monster shift.
Squad rotatation could be the name of the game for Richman on Sunday and I expect him to tinker with his starting XI. That could mean a place for Aussie Daniel Garb.
JLGB are still recovering from the mental scars of a 12-1 thumping at the hands of Shirley Park. Player-manager Rob Silverman scored an absolute screamer which lifted spirits slightly but you have to fear for them on Sunday.
Playing on the carpet at Brunel, I can see Raiders scoring for fun and Dinkin filling his boots. He's only 7-2 to score a hat-trick.
Damage limitation could be the best bet for Silverman's troops. I advise him to set up with a 1-6-3-0 formation on Sunday as another hefty defeat would be a real hammer blow.
But when all is said and done, a cricket score not out of the question.
JC star man: Dan Polak (Raiders)
DC Prediction: NL Raiders B 7 Team JLGB 0
NORTH WEST NEASDEN B vs NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A
First division Neasden B will be scenting an upset when they welcome Premier Division Raiders to Gosling on Sunday.
Neasden fans have had little to cheer about so far this season and they go into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat against Chigwell in the league.
Manager Daniel Hodes has returned from a scouting mission to America, looking to unearth the next Clint Dempsey. So far, the best he could find was Jonny Blain who will be keen to impress against his former club.
Having joined Neasden last month, Blain has promised not to celebrate if he finds the net on Sunday against his former club. In fact, in true Mario Balotelli style, he could find himself asking: "Why always me?"
Raiders go into the game on a high after recording their first win of the season at Redbridge A of all teams.
The victory was long over-due and there was relief all round after Mark Leader passed a random drugs test after scoring a goal from his own half.
It was also the best game I've ever seen Danny Bloom play in a Raiders shirt and the management will be asking for more of the same.
The effort the team put in from 1-13 was something else, with Andrew McMaster and Adam Posner excelling in the role of super-sub.
Raiders' work ethic and spirit saw them come through a tough test last Sunday and they will need those qualities and much more to ensure they don't slip up here.
Venue - Gosling Sports Park
JC star man: Igal Yahya (Raiders)
DC Prediction: NW Neasden B 1 NL Raiders A 2
CAMDEN PARK vs BRIXTON OLD BOYS A
There's a real hum-dinger in store here as Division Two dream team Camden welcome first division Brixton A.
It was player-manager Josh Marks who inspired Camden to their fifth win of the season last week.
Richard Silver and Josh Toff were the marksmen in the 2-1 win over Faithfold B, with Richard Silver and Jake Saunders also coming in for special credit.
After the game, Camden's Nick Kagan told JC Sport: "It was a very big win. Faithfold were a well-drilled and impressive outfit, but our class told in the first half, and then some steely defending saw us home.
"Josh Marks was a man-mountain in central midfield ... combative, composed and clever, he led by example. After missing the whole of last season through injury, he's growing in stature every game.
"Richard Silver and Jake Saunders deserve mentions - a couple of fantastic creative performances as both showed signs of returning to their very best form, despite the latter reacquainting himself with last night's vodka after just 20 minutes."
At the same time, Brixton overcame a Mass FC side that had not lost a game in more than two years. John Nitka's troops came up trumps in extra time in the London FA Sunday Junior Cup, although one or two players may be carrying heavy legs as a result here.
The ever-reliable James Kaye was joined on the scoresheet by Rob Hershkorn (2) and Jamie Kent (2), and if the trio line up on Sunday, Nitka will be confident of averting an upset.
Nitka hailed his troops for a "fantastic performance" but they could not have asked for a tougher draw.
Both sides are packed with quality from front to back and I advise fans to arrive early as even though Mario Balotelli won't be there, there could be fireworks!
JC star man: James Kaye (Brixton)
DC Prediction: Camden Park 2 Brixton Old Boys A 3 AET
OAKWOOD vs LONDON MACCABI LIONS B
The Oakwood board are demanding a strong cup run this season and the team, co-managed by Ric Blank and Alex Schock, will be looking to fly out of the traps here.
Thumped 5-2 against Norstar last week, I expect the Oaks to put in a big display and show their true colours against second division opposition.
Two defeats against the Stars have dented promotion hopes but the visit of the Lions gives them a real opportunity to get those results out of their system.
Dan Ash is on fire at the minute and I can see him trying to take the game to the Lions. The experience of Eddie Manson will also be vital and I expect the home side to make good use of the huge playing surface at the biggest pitch in the MSFL.
The season has not gone as planned so far for the Lions but I expect them to put an experienced and capable team.
Will Beresford scored in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of FC Team B last weekend with manager Jamie Kyte hugely disappointed to come away empty-handed from a game they dominated.
Having correctly tipped the Lions to beat Glenthorne A in the Morrison a fortnight ago, I think possession will be nine tenths of the law on Sunday.
With that in mind, I expect the Oaks to come away smiling.
Venue - Parmiters
JC star man: Dan Ash (Oakwood)
DC Prediction: Oakwood 3 LM Lions B 1
REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B vs CHIGWELL ATHLETIC
There's a tasty all-Division One clash in store when leaders Chigwell make the shortest of trips to Fairlop to take on Redbridge B.
The team's have yet to play one another this season so there could be some added spice going into the game.
Redbridge were reflecting on an opportunity missed as they were held at home against Temple Fortune A in the league last Sunday.
They missed a host of chances on a day when they left their shooting boots at home. In the end, a strike from Dan Orgel was all they had to show for their efforts.
Chigwell have been going about their business quietly and efficiently in recent weeks, with star striker Glenn Michaels scoring for fun.
Dan Castle has also stepped up in terms of goals this season. Last Sunday he was joined by Craig Pearl on the scoresheet in the 2-0 victory over Neasden B.
Lee Hyams also had an excellent game and his big match experience will be crucial on Sunday.
It's clear that Richard Slater will take his Chigwell squad to Fairlop in confident mood.
Looking ahead to the crunch clash, Slater told JC Sport: "Local derbies are always games we look forward to, especially against a young RJC B side.
"We'll be rotating our squad this week and hopefully we can carry on our great form. I'm looking to our experience to see us into the next round."
So the battle between youth and experience is certainly an intriguing one. Squad rotation or not, I think Chigwell will have just too much know-how on the day.
Venue - Fairlop
JC star man: Lee Hyams (Chigwell)
DC Prediction: Redbridge JC B 1 Chigwell Athletic 2
SOUTHGATE HARMEN B vs FAITHFOLD C
Harmen B manager Marc Cohen believes his team can put together a strong cup run and they will be looking to lay down a marker against Faithfold C on Sunday.
The Southgate boys returned to winning ways last weekend when Ben Rosenblatt made it five goals in two games with a double in the win over Montana.
The team also benefitted from their A's not having a match, allowing striker Alex Bourne to join the party in a 3-2 win.
After the game, a delighted Cohen told JC Sport: "The boys played brilliantly. We should have won by more and the scoreline flattered Montana but I'm pleased to take the three points.
"The squad weren't at full fitness, with Kershberg having a particularly painful looking scab and Bradley Cohen suffering from a late night but we all pulled together to get a thoroughly deserved win."
Faithfold were hit for six by Redbridge C last weekend with player-manager David Garson over-worked in goal.
The Superhoops have had little to cheer about in the league despite the best efforts of star striker Ben Simons.
Faithfold fans have yet to see the best of recent signing Richard Fogelman but if the pair link up on Sunday, they could cause Harmen one or two problems.
But the energy of Ilan Ben-Zion and Dan Amram will be a factor on Sunday and I'd be surprised if Harmen didn't book their place in the next round.
JC star man: Dan Amram (Harmen)
DC Prediction: Southgate Harmen B 4 Faithfold C 1
HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB B vs LOS BLANCOS
Los Blancos were at rock bottom last Sunday when they were nailed 5-1 by UJIA.
I certainly can't recall Joel Minsky's men conceding five goals in 90 minutes but the gaffer did not make any excuses at full time.
"It was much closer than the scoreline would suggests," he told JC Sport. "However, our defensive performance was well below par and probably the poorest we've put in since forming last year.
"When you defend like that, you can't expect your attackers to get you out of jail."
Things will not get any easier when they take on a Hendon team for the umpteenth time.
Managed by Motty Korman and Chaim Gothold, the Reds are flying right now. They must think this management lark is easy but an upset on Sunday could put a spanner in the works.
That said, confidence is sky high in the Hornets' camp and I think they will have too much for Los Blancos on the day.
Pinty Baddiel, James Josephs and Parys Hammond joined Korman and Chaim Gothold on the scoresheet in the 5-0 demolition of L'Equipe last weekend.
The display of Josephs gave Hendon fans a taste of the future. The boy is sheer class and he will be a big player for them this season.
Not even the heroics of Blancos keeper Josh Cohen will be enough to stop Hendon cruising through.
JC star man: James Josephs (Hendon)
DC Prediction: Hendon Utd SC B 3 Los Blancos 1

Presentation Notes:
- Most startups fail catastrophically
- How many startups have lived up to their employees, founders and investors?
- Most startups that succeed turn out to be something totally different from the initial vision of the company
- Difference between a successful startup and a failure is the number of iterations the company could afford before death / success
- Eric's new company – IMVU – bring avatars and digital goods to the USA
- shipped in 6 months – a horribly buggy beta product
- charged from day 1
- Visionary Customers can be just as or more valuable to the business as the founders
– must be in constant dialog with those visionary customers
– those visionary customers live with the same pain that the founders did when they came up with the business idea
- Iterate constantly. IMVU pushes to production 50x per day
- No PR, no launch
– this way you only focus on what your customers think
- 2007 revenues of $10mm, still growing nicely
Lean Startups Go Faster
- Full-scale refactoring of how software is developed.
- Commodity technology stack – easy, cheap: EC2, grid, cloud, etc etc
- Customer Development (find out what customers want before you build it)
- Agile (lean) product development (fast iterations)
– Principles drawn from Lean Manufacturing and Toyota Production System
– Where problem is known but solution is not
– Meetings are waste, revising code is progress
- Product development at a lean startup:
– problem and solution both unknown
- get rid of departments. 2 teams: problem team, solution team
- Problem team constantly asks what the problem is and is there a business here if we can solve it?
- Solution team constantly asks what the problem is and if the product is sufficiently solving it (constantly iterate)
- The biggest source of waste in any startup is building something nobody wants.

Sledge,I heard Gallas wasn't starting! Hence all the chat about woodgate playing tonight, We also have the SA centre back, who must get a chance.Also Blackburn can be fairly physical, if Wilson is fit he might make more sense centrally. Other than those possible changes I'd agree with your suggested starting 11, I not sure we have that many other options!We must win tonight! no points no 4th!COYS!!!!
Thanks Joe,I forgot Gallas was out too! Too many injuries to remember them all!I see what you mean about the physical side to this fixture... I thought maybe Jenas could stand up to it somewhat? I know... being a bit overly optimistic on that one... lolBut yes! Being an away fixture, I think Palacios for the second half ;)I'd just like to see us playing a proper 4-4-2 .... none of that 4-4-1-1 that just doesn't seem to suit us

The Headteachers' Roundtable originated from a roundtable meeting on 12 October 2012 at The Guardian newspaper offices. It grew out of frustration regarding current government educational policy and the Opposition response to it. Its origins and subsequent growth are down to the power of Twitter as a tool for connecting people to try and bring about change where they feel it is needed.
Core Purpose
We are a non-party political headteachers' group operating as a think-tank, exploring policy issues from a range of perspectives. Our goal is to provide a vehicle for people working in the profession to influence national education policymakers so that education policy is centred upon what is best for the learning of all children.

Kingdom to remain shut at Passover
By James Martin, February 18, 2009
Golders Green supermarket Kosher Kingdom has advised customers that it will not reopen in time for Passover.
The store has been closed since a fire last summer and bosses tried unavailingly to find temporary premises for the lucrative Pesach market.
"Despite our best attempts, we have had to face the inevitable," Kosher Kingdom's David Rokach said. "It's obviously a missed commercial opportunity but it actually hurts us that we can't service our customers this year as they've become so reliant on us."
The expectation is that the store will not be back in business until July. "We've only just received planning permission and once we get the go-ahead from health and safety we will bring the contractors in," Mr Rokach added.

I have a following page structure with comments who should have an access there:
- About For everyone
- Products For everyone
- Contact For everyone
- Intranet Only for Customers and Staff
- For Customers Only for Customers and Staff
- For Staff Only for Staff
Apparently I have two groups: Customers and Staff.
If I protect the Intranet branch and allow both Customers and Staff to see its contents, it seems that there is no possibility to deny group Customers to see pages under Intranet > For Staff. Or is there?
I would like to see something like ability to override the inherited groups somewhere in the subtree. We could allow both Customers and Staff to see the Intranet branch (and its descendants, by default) but then redefine only Staff to see "For Staff" branch (and further its descendants). If somebody adds more content under Intranet, it would still be protected by default.

I have an important question
Over a year ago
It's about the Marine Mammal Center. Of course, their goal is to release the seals that they treat into the wild, but blind seals, once healthy, but obviously unable to return to the wild, are sent to zoos to live out their lives. What is your opinion on this? I'm undecided, but it is not like they're going to a circus or Seaworld or something. Also, Peta staffers, responses on this conundrum welcome. I know we are probably not going to protest against a fellow AR (well, AW) organization, I just want an answer(hopefully other than killing them) thanks!
Please log in to reply.

O really know nothing about the Marine Mammal Center so it does not really a good thesis for my answer, however I believe that in the situation that blind seals were sent to zoos it would not be unethical as long as they had a companion (taken this seal was also unable to not go back into the wild from injury ect.) and a very large enclosure that would be similar to their natural habitat.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
Another modifier: After being in a permanent home, the blind seal is used (extorted? helping his fellow seal?) to raise public awareness on animal cruelty, especially to sea animals. i know the MMC tries to do what's best; I'm just not sure that they are. Please help sort this out. 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

STOCKTON - California Highway Patrol officers found a man in possession of drugs and an illegal cane sword during a traffic stop shortly after 1:30 a.m. Monday, authorities said.
Officers stopped the man after observing a 2003 Mercedes-Benz that was failing to stay in its lane near East Alpine Avenue and North Wilson Way, the CHP said. When they stopped the car, they noticed the man putting something down his pants, officers said.
Officers searched the man and found black tar heroin, approximately a half-ounce of suspected crystal methamphetamine and a sword that was made to look like a cane, authorities said. Officers arrested Ernie Juarez, 53, on suspicion of drug possession, possession of drugs for sale and possession of an illegal weapon, the CHP said.

As the father of five kids I am always trying to find the best potential college fund ideas. In August, my oldest daughter will be a rising senior in high school and my youngest daughter will be starting kindergarten. This means that I need to find an investment platform that promises sustainable income and the potential for durable capital appreciation.
Since the historical rate of college inflation is close to 6 percent, I must find an alternative that promises safety but also delivers a higher rate of return than a prepaid (Section 529) tuition plan. Alternatively, bonds earn less than most prepaid tuition plans and most are subject to taxation on any interest earned above a certain amount.
To further frustrate my quest for yield-enhanced alternatives, college tuition has been skyrocketing for decades - with growth outpacing the Consumer Price Index, gasoline and even the out-of-control health care costs. Here's a chart showing price changes in these categories. The lines represent the price in a given year, as a percent of the price in 1985. For example, if a line reaches 200, that means prices in that year were 200 percent of those in 1985, or twice as high.
College tuition and fees today are 559 percent of their cost in 1985. In other words, they have nearly sextupled (while consumer prices have roughly doubled). There's a lot of debate about why college costs have risen so much. Many people assume that schools are spending too much money on frivolous things like climbing walls and Jacuzzis (my daughter and I actually visited one of these "Disneyland Universities" and we were humored by the arcade, movie theatre, and yes - a steakhouse….OMG). That's true for a handful of elite schools, but not for a vast majority.
But at least for public colleges and universities - which enroll three out of every four American college students - the main cause of tuition growth has been huge state funding cuts. Every recession, states face a budget squeeze as their tax revenue falls and demand for their services rises. They have to cut something, and higher education is often a prime target.
So what about campus housing? How does that impact cash strapped universities?
American Campus Communities - A "Best in Class" REIT Brand
American Campus Communities, Inc. (ACC), based in Austin, is the largest campus housing REIT (since 2008) in the United States. American Campus owns 124 student housing properties containing approximately 76,100 beds. Including its owned and third-party managed properties, ACC's total managed portfolio consists of 153 properties with approximately 99,900 beds.
Since 1996 American Campus has developed more than $3.4 billion in properties (for the company and others) and the company has acquired in excess of $2.8 billion in student housing assets. The growth in the specialty campus housing sector is driven by strong demographic trends - primarily college enrollment trends. Between 2009 and 2020 college enrollment is projected to increase by 13 percent to approximately 23 million students.
The strong demand for campus housing is driven by an increase in the number of students attending college and the fact that many college students take longer than four years to finish college (hopefully my kids finish in three years). As illustrated below, college enrollment has actually increased during recession periods and demand for student housing has little impact during macro-economic conditions.
Since the company's IPO, American Campus has grown its portfolio from around 16 properties to 124 today (includes owned properties) and American Campus has generated average annual same store NOI growth of 5.3 percent during the seven years since the IPO.
American Campus has a well-balanced portfolio that includes around 76,000 beds (owned) and the uniquely positioned properties are located in over 33 states and Canada. The largest concentration of properties are in Texas, Florida, and Arizona where many of the top FBS (football bowl subdivision) Division 1 schools are located.
The demand for campus housing is driven not only by strong demand but also by shrinking supply. Many on-campus residence halls are in need of updating (due to obsolescence) facilities and American Campus has positioned its unique campus housing platform to serve obsolete campus housing needs.
Accordingly, assets have grown considerably as the most recent (Q2-12) asset total is $3.241 billion. During 2011, American Campus developed four projects totaling around $110 million and acquired five new properties totaling around $261 million. So far during 2012 American Campus has announced an acquisition of an estimated $627 million portfolio (to close in September) and the specialty REIT has announced eleven development projects estimated to cost around $385 million.
The combined estimated development and acquisition costs for American Campus during 2012 should be in excess of $1.3 billion. Many of the development projects are yielding (all cash) around 7 to 8 percent and that provides plenty of yield-enhanced revenue for reinvestment and growth.
Revenue for the 2012 second quarter totaled $107 million, up 20.1 percent from $89.1 million in the second quarter 2011. Operating income for the quarter increased $5.6 million or 27.0 percent over the prior year second quarter, while income from continuing operations increased by $5.6 million or 76.6 percent over the prior year second quarter.
The increase in both operating income and income from continuing operations was primarily due to growth resulting from property acquisitions, recently completed development properties, and increased rental rates for the 2011-2012 academic year, as well as the closing and commencement of construction of two third-party development projects during the quarter.
Revenue should top $450 million during 2012 and the recently announced $627 million portfolio should provide accretive revenue going forward (nominal cap rate on this portfolio is around 5.96 percent).
FFO for the 2012 second quarter totaled $36.6 million, or $0.48 per fully diluted share, as compared to $29.4 million, or $0.42 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2011. FFOM for the 2012 second quarter was $37.2 million, or $0.49 per fully diluted share as compared to $30.2 million, or $0.43 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2011.Here is a snapshot of FFO per share (including midpoint 2012 data).
Exceptional occupancy has been a significant part of the American Campus value proposition. This demand is evident with the following occupancy illustration:
American Campus has a simple and conservative balance sheet that consist of secured fixed-rate debt of around $743 million, construction loan debt of around $91 million, a credit facility of around $116 million and a revolving credit line of around $450 million.
Last week American Campus closed on a common stock add-on of 17.3 million shares at $44.25 per share. Gross proceeds are around $780 million and net proceeds of around $732 million. The revolving credit line will likely be paid down to zero.
The conservative debt metrics include 20 percent secure debt to gross assets and current debt to total capitalization of around 31 percent (Q2-12). Here is a snapshot of the company's historic debt to total capitalization.
What are the competitive advantages?
The campus housing sector is highly fragmented. American Campus has two (2) peer REITs and many other regional and local owners. The REIT peers include Educational Realty Trust (EDR) and Campus Crest Communities (CCG). Here is snapshot of the peer group:
American Campus is the only investment grade rated peer REIT (American Campus has a BBB- S&P rating). Other notable competitive advantages include:
Grass Roots Management - Senior management has unparalleled experience in campus housing. Throughout their collective careers, the senior staff has been involved in the development, acquisition or management of more than 214 student housing properties, consisting of more than 127,700 beds at over 173 colleges and universities.
Disciplined & Diversified Investment Strategy - Many of the American Campus properties are located in very close (walking or biking) distance to a college or university. By focusing on sites in close proximity to campuses, American Campus is able to achieve higher price points that command lower cap rates. By investing (and developing) within this "pedestrian ring" American Campus is able to create risk-aligned barriers to entry that many other less experienced operators cannot.
Also, American Campus provides unique product differentiation in that each property has its own unique identity that is customized for every individual market. In other words, American Campus does not develop "cookie cutter" properties that look the same in every town.
Proprietary Operating Platform - American Campus is based in Austin - a town known for product innovation and highly-skilled second-level thinkers. American Campus has utilized its hometown resources to build a powerful operating system that is unlike any other software application and also provides a differentiated investment proposition to support the company's growing campus network.
A Frozen Angel REIT Providing Steady Dividends
Back in April of this year I wrote about Taubman Centers (TCO), a mall REIT that was able to freeze its dividend payout (during the great recession), without cutting it, and maintain its consistency of paying durable income. This type of performance was recognized as a "frozen angel" alternative.
American Campus pays a current dividend yield of 2.88 percent and like Taubman, American Campus has never cut its dividend. The current stock price is $47.01 and it posted its all-time high today of $47.45. The market capitalization is $4.324 billion.
As noted, American Campus has been very active growing its pipeline and for that reason the company has been recycling its cash and reinvesting into new development deals. American Campus has returned around 30 percent during that last year (stock price of 25.36 percent and dividend yield of around 2.88 percent).
My Kids Should Be Able to Sleep Well at Night
Bill Bayless, American Campus CEO, recently explained the company's second quarter results:
As we move toward the 2012-2013 academic year, our leasing performance coupled with the execution of our strategic growth plan to expand our high-quality portfolio has set the stage for continued value creation. Additionally, with the success of our recent stock offering, we believe we have further fortified our balance sheet and continue to be opportunistic in consolidating the sector.
American Campus Communities is a perfect SWAN (sleep well at night) REIT for my kids. I intend to purchase shares for my kids this year and start to build a portfolio for college tuition. By my definition, American Campus is an intelligent choice and the sound investment platform should provide valuable income and growth for future educational needs.

Tortellini Bolognese
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 50 mins
After enjoying a Bolognese dish at a famous Italian restaurant, I knew I had to find a recipe I could make at home. The very first one I stumbled upon, from an old $1.00 cookbook I'd purchased, rivaled that of the restaurant's. What luck!!!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3⁄4 lb ground sirloin
- 1⁄2 lb ground pork
- 1⁄2 cup dry red wine, divided
- 2 cups beef broth, divided
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb frozen cheese tortellini
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- In a large, deep skillet, over medium heat, heat olive oil.
- Add bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain grease.
- Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened.
- Break up ground sirloin and pork and add to skillet.
- Cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- Add half the wine and half of the beef broth.
- Cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Lower heat and stir in the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, parsley, and basil.
- Pour in remaining wine and beef broth.
- Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- While sauce is simmering prepare tortellini according to package directions.
- After sauce has simmered 20 minutes, stir in the heavy cream and heat through.
- Spoon sauce over tortellini and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- {Note:I use a food processor to finely chop the bacon, onion, carrots, and celery for a smoother textured sauce, and to save an abundance of time}.
Most Helpful
I enjoyed this--something a little bit different. I didn't use the wine (I prefer to drink wine, not have it in my food), used a lot of fresh parsley and doubled the dried basil. Thanks for sharing!
Great flavor and so easy to do. I did use 1/2 lb. beef 1/2 lb. pork and added pepperoni to the 3 slices already baked bacon. It is so rich but so good. I may try adding anchovies to the veggie next time but great as is.
This was a delicious meal. It had lots of flavor and was very meaty. I thought the sauce would go perfect with some sliced smoked sausage, so I will use that next time instead of the ground up meat. I didnt read to puree the veggies til the end. So next time I will for sure puree the carrots and celery in a food processor to make a smoother sauce. I liked the small chunks but I agree that pureeing them would make it even better. I as well will double the garlic! I will surely make again sometime, thanks for the recipe!

When Dale Gillis of Middletown felt the heavy pressure pulling against his fishing rod, little did he know he was hooking into a rarely seen fish.
What Gillis had on the end of his line even surprised him. After a 10-minute fight on six-pound test line, Gillis brought a 10-pound catfish to the net.
Catfish? Well, not just any catfish, but an albino channel catfish.
Completely white with the familiar pink tinge around its edges, the albino catfish is a naturally occurring species that is more commonly found in home aquariums, but can also reproduce in lakes, as well.
Albino channel catfish rarely get as large as the one Gillis caught, which makes it a rarity for its size. Gillis was fishing in the West Point area when he caught the catfish on Sept. 6 using nothing more than a worm for bait.
Gillis plans to have the fish preserved for a trophy.
"I just can't get myself to eat an albino catfish," he said.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I opened the website of my internet personal account www.bankofamerica.com. one page was appeared stating that if you do a survey for BOA, you can claim the prize. I answered a few questions, a write up has come stating that you have won a Geneva watch, worth of 1 $ and for shipping you have to pay 4.99$. I have accepted the offer and given my debit card details, which was immediately debited from my account.
After 6 days, I was delivered the watch and an amount of 88.99$ was again debited from my account.
Immediately I reported it to my banker, he advised me to wait till it is getting processed. I contacted Geneva watch Customer service and explained my agony. He advised me to send an e-mail to Geneva Customer service. I sent an e-mail as given below:
"Please cancel my order and refund 88$ and 99 cents debited from my BOA account. I read your document, stating the cost of the watch is only 1 $ and shipping cost is 4.99 $, after doing the survey of Bank of America, on internet.The watch was delivered with the invoice of 1 $ only, it is to my surprise that a sum of 88.99 $ has been debited from my account, without my consent and proper document. It was never mentioned on the document shown to me, while ordering the watch, that it is only for trial purpose and I will be charged 88.99 $.
Please treat it as canceled and arrange the pick up of the watch from my residence"
After 3 days( that is today 12 Feb 2010) I got the response as given below and the amount was not refunded to me:
Dear Customer,
We sincerely apologize if there is any confusion regarding the nature of the risk free trial membership which you signed up for. Please note that you were charged $88.98 because you did not cancel your subscription within the allowed risk free trial period, as stated in our terms and conditions. As is explained on our web page from which you initially ordered the product , you have a trial period to determine whether or not you wish to remain a subscriber to our monthly Value Auto-Ship program. Had you canceled your account during this time period, you would not have received any further charges or shipments. However, since your account is currently active and your risk free trial period has ended per our terms and conditions, you were billed for the monthly supply.
In an effort to ensure that our customers understand the exact nature of the trial membership program, we have listed these terms twice on our order page, and require that you check a box stating that you have read and agree to our terms and conditions. This agreement is necessary for the system to even be able to process your order.
Please note that your account is now in a state of cancellation, which means you will not receive any future charges or shipments of the product.
I immediately ( today i.e 12 Feb 2010) responded that the page, I signed up was not having any word like trial period / 14 days or any such type of words, prior to making the payment. and again requested to refund the amount 88.99$ debited from my account.
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!
