text: Keep this in mind....Pannu said: 'Carson has so far, in aggregate, spent £26.3million since his arrival. Carson Yeung took over Blues in September 2009.He promised a £50M war-chest to McLeish to transform Birmingham City.What he did not say was how long that £50M was spread over. I was under the impression it was all in one go. In sixteen months, he has given just over half of that.This equates to roughly £17M per season. (wow)Considering we earned around £80M from the last two seasons in TV payments and League payments alone, it begs the question,**Why are we scratching around with bargain basement signings and loan deals** The way BCFC conduct their transfer dealings is embarrassing. Other teams say "we have approached whoever to sign so and so" Then within two or three days so and so has a medical, signs on the dotted line and poses in front of the cameras claiming he has always wanted to play for whoever." Looking at the fixtures, we should win five of the next six with a customary draw against Man Citeh.In reality we will draw half and lose half. Out of both cups, bottom of the league, McLeish will be sacked and Big Sam could be employed. Who's fault? The board? Alex?I blame the board for not backing the manager and for being even more stingy than the Golds and Sulky Sullivan put together.KROJust a thought, MON?

Right from the beginning the laptop was not functioning properly. It wouldn't charge or keep a charge, freezes up, just turns off automatically at any point, sometimes won't turn back on, flashes on and off different screens then what you are on, loses data constantly, won't open most documents or websites, can't even get online most times. everytime you turn on you have to go through set up menu because it doesn't register that you have done this a million times already.
Most functions you try to do it won't do, like simple typing commands or getting the mouse key to work.
I have called them daily, several times a day in fact, from the beginning once I received this computer thinking that they would stand behind their product and either refund me or give me a functioning product. Neither has happened because they won't answer their phone now that they have my money.

The Indiana Career Council has created a taskforce that will examine community college best practices from around the country.
A new name and new site accompany the new year at the former New Tech High School.
Enrollment at Ivy-Tech's Bloomington campus has increased from 2,600 to 6,800 in just over a decade.
Ivy Tech's tuition increase is higher than the 2 percent the Indiana Commission for Higher Education recommended.
Ivy Tech officials say a tuition hike will help the statewide community college system make investments in areas such as more faculty and better equipment.
A growing financial deficit could force Ivy Tech Community College to close as many as a quarter of its facilities.
The group flaunted its First Amendment rights by reading banned books from Dr. Seuss, Kurt Vonnegut and others.
Bloomington and Ivy Tech leaders are launching an initiative to give entrepreneurs more technology and training.
Indiana public universities went before two states committees Thursday to make their requests for additional funding next year.
The exhibit will include 40 paintings, including paintings and family portraits created by the late Marilyn Mellencamp.

Below is a great pet travel infographic made by Amber Kingsley. It should be briefly noted that the information on pet crates may be misleading. For one, the best crash tested crates do not always have handles. Nor are they necessary since it would be difficult to lift a heavy-duty crate and a large dog anyway. Also, having your dog ride in a pet crate is better than letting them roam loose in the car, but most crates are not crash tested. In fact, a third party did testing on the typical plastic crates and found they would not hold up in a car accident. So if you're wanting a crash tested crate, consider the German engineered Variocage pet travel cage. It has been crash tested in multiple crash test scenarios and meets or beats many European standards for safety.
When driving with our dog, usually an image of them with their head out the window, their tongues and ears flapping in the breeze, but this is the most dangerous place for your dog. As any parent of a human child knows, the safest place for smaller riders is in the back seat.
A dog with their head out a window is at risk of falling out of the vehicle, being struck by debris, getting an ear or lung infection, but the biggest threat comes from the car's airbag. Since they're designed for full grown adults, not children and canines, a blow from one of these can cause serious injury or even death to a dog.
Here's ten other tips to remember when we're riding with our best friend:
#1 – Stopping in The Summer: Beware of black asphalt and sidewalks in the searing summer heat. They can easily burn a dog's sensitive paws, so "pause" and feel the surface with your bare hand before you let Fido out of the car.
#2 – Bring Water: Always bring water along for the ride, even on short distances. Be sure to watch for signs of dehydration in your pet
#3 – Consider a Crate: An enclosure for your pet is also the safest way for them to travel. Many people don't realize that flying objects in a car can cause injury or death in the event of an accident.
#4 – Buckle Up: If you don't want to use a crate, then be sure to buckle up your pet by attaching their harness to seat belt or other device. If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident, an unrestrained animal can escape through a broken window putting them in danger.
#5 – Don't Leave Them Alone: We all know the dangers of keeping a dog in a car that's either too hot or too cold, but your precious pooch could also be stolen.
#6 – Plan Ahead: If you're going on a long journey, check your route for some pet-friendly destinations to stop along the way. And not just dog parks, a growing number of hotels and restaurants allow dogs.
#7 – Keep Them Busy: Bring along some of their favorite toys and treats. Just like children, bored animals can be very distracting when you're trying to drive.
#8 – Stop Regularly: Just like the driver and other passengers, especially on long journeys, you'll want to stop, get out and stretch your legs. You dog might want to relieve themselves, and they obviously can't say, "I have to go to the bathroom."
#9 – Keep An Eye On Them: While most dogs who are traveling safely either in a crate or buckled up in the back seat, usually they'll just go to sleep. But keep an eye on them for signs they could be getting restless or car sick and pull over if necessary.
#10 – Start Out Slow: Before you take your dog on a cross country trip or other extended holiday, start off with shorter trips and work your way up to several hours with them in the car. They'll be less stressed and also less likely to become car sick.
We don't have to leave our pets at home when we go on road trips or vacations, but we do need to keep them safe. With just a little bit of extra planning and these tips, you and your best friend can have the time of your life on the road.

It's that time of year that a lot of people will be traveling to see friends and family. If you're like me, you take your furry friends on the road with you. Athena (my Siberian Husky) and Boston (my Chocolate Lab) always get so excited when they know it's time for a ride in the car. Their eyes widen, ears perk up, and their tails start to wag. Little do they know that it's not for a short trip, but were heading on an 8-hour drive to see the family. I find that waiting until the last minute to say "want to go for a ride," works in my favor. Little do they know that I've been prepping them for this ride the last couple of days.
There are tips on traveling safe with your pet while in the car, but there are variables that you need to think about before putting your pet in the car for a long road trip. Taking these steps to prepare your dog for a long road trip is imperative to their health and wellbeing during your road trip this year.
Here are some easy steps to follow to ensure your dog has a great road trip:
Step #1:
Feed your dog early. Your pet's travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure. It's important to feed your dog a few hours early to help prevent motion sickness.
Prepare your vehicle for your pet. It's recommended that you crate your dog for long road trips. If you don't normally crate your dog, it may be time to rethink that decision. Crating your dog will create less of a distraction while you drive (especially while driving by yourself) which is safer for the both of you. Also, a crate helps to prevent your dog from becoming a projectile if you have to stop urgently, reducing the chance of injury for both of you. A best practice is to exercise your dog before putting them into the crate. A dog that has exercised is more likely to relax in the crate, while dogs who haven't exercised will have built up anxiety and may not be willing to accept the crate.
Pack a bag with all of your dog's goodies: dog food, treats, bottled water, dog leashes, waste bags and dog toys (their favorite toy, of course). This pet friendly travel kit should also contain portable dog bowls, dog documents, and a dog first aid kit. Keep the leashes handy, as you will be making frequent stops.
Step #4:
Now that you have prepared your dog and vehicle for the trip ahead, it's time to plan the stopping spots. If you're traveling on major freeways or highways, you can count on having rest areas (that almost always have a "pet section") to stop and let your dog out. There are times you might need to stop and get food, but no matter where you stop, don't ever leave your dog in the car. On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked vehicle can become a furnace in no time, and heatstroke can develop. On a cold day, a vehicle can act as a refrigerator, holding in the cold and causing your dog to possibly freeze to death.
Now we've gone through the steps in preparing your dog(s) for a long road trip, and you should be ready for the road ahead. Always continue to learn the best practices in keeping your family, pets, and yourself safe in your vehicle at all times. Buckle up and enjoy your trip!
If you live in Connecticut, then perhaps you have heard that Senator Doyle has proposed a bill to the Connecticut General Assembly that will make it illegal for a driver to allow their dog to ride in their lap (Proposed Bill #518, CT Gen. As.) & (Connecticut Post). Perhaps your dog doesn't distract you when he rides in your lap, but you may soon have to keep him off your lap if you want to avoid getting a ticket. If you are worried that your dog is so used to riding in your lap that he will get anxiety by not being allowed, we have some tips that might help.
If your dog has a bed that he really loves to sleep in, put this bed in the passenger seat or the back seat. Give your dog his favorite toy or treat to chew on. For your dog's safety, it is probably best not to use toys or treats with sharp edges as this could harm him if you stop or swerve suddenly.
Find a big empty parking lot where you can drive around safely without danger of hitting pedestrians or other vehicles. Drive around with your dog and reward him for staying calm in his seat. If he won't stay in his seat, toss a small treat into the seat for him to retrieve, then toss him another one while he is in the seat. You should make sure you are at a full stop before rewarding him or simply have a friend ride with you that can reward your dog.
If your dog has anxiety about being separated from you, consider various pet anxiety remedies. The Thundershirt is clothing your dog can wear. This product has great success at helping dogs with anxiety issues. There is also an all-natural herbal remedy called Travel Calm that you can put on your dog. Some dog anxiety treatments also come in pill form. Also, keep in mind that sometimes your dog's anxiety is a reflection of your anxiety. If you remain calm and don't make a fuss, this could go a long way to help keep your dog calm.
There are several pet travel products that you can use to keep your dog off your lap. Another benefit of using one of these products is the safety benefit. Certain products not only keep your dog from being a distraction, they also offer a measure of crash-worthy safety.
If your dog likes to see out the window, there are several pet car seats that allow this. These car seat also have a tether in them that you can use to attach to your dog's harness to keep him in the seat. Do not attach the tether to your dog's collar since this could choke him if you slam on the brakes. If your dog likes to be by your side, there are pet car seats that attach to your car's center console. And, if your dog likes his crate at home, you can have him use his crate in the car too. If you feel these products provide too little space for your dog, there are several other pet travel products to choose from in today's market, such as dog car harnesses or pet nets and barriers.
Even if your dog doesn't distract you when you drive, there is another good reason he shouldn't ride in your lap. Airbags are not safe for dogs. If your airbag deploys, a minor car accident could turn deadly for your dog, and possibly do serious damage to you as well.
Although this law has not been made yet, you can still get a ticket for driving while distracted. Not only that, it just isn't safe for you or your dog if he rides in your lap. So don't wait for Connecticut to specifically ban dogs riding in laps to take action. Protect your best pal today.

Preparing For Your Dog's First Car Ride
By Suni Miller
Traveling with your dog can be a great adventure. Before you start your travel, there are some things you want to keep in mind when traveling in the car with your pet.
Always remember safety first. Purchasing a dog safety seat will be safer for your dog in case you come to a sudden stop or make a quick turn. Make sure your pet cannot roam around the vehicle freely. There are also pet safety belts that can be purchased. This can ensure that the pet cannot be thrown from the vehicle or into another passenger in case of an accident, sudden stop, or turn. Another option is purchasing a crate. If you ever considered traveling with your pet by plane, then having your pet in a crate is required by the airline. It can also keep your pet out of trouble at a hotel or somebody else's house. You want to make sure the crate is big enough to allow the dog to stand, turn, and lie down. It should be sturdy with handles and grips. It should also have a leak proof bottom covered with absorbent material. Air should be able to flow through it freely.
In case your dog gets away from you during a trip, it is best to make sure he has identification to increase the chances of a recovery. Make sure your pet is wearing a collar at all times, which have identification tags with the dog's name, your name, a number where you can be reached, and proof of rabies shots. You can consider a more permanent form of identification, such as a microchip. It is also a good idea to have a recent picture of your dog with you.
The Car Ride
Allow your dog to get used to sitting in the car first without leaving the driveway and then start off by going for short rides, so you and your dog can get familiar with traveling by car together. Don't feed your dog before traveling. This way you can avoid car sickness. Make the first few trips somewhere fun for your dog, like a park or field. This way he will associate riding in the car as something fun and enjoyable as opposed to just trips to the vet. Make sure to have plenty of water at all times especially during the warmer times. Keep the car well ventilated. However, do not let your dog ride with his head sticking out of an open window. This can lead to the potential of an eye injury. Never leave your dog unattended in a closed vehicle, especially during warmer or colder temperatures. If you do have to leave your dog, make sure someone else is in the car with him. When going on long car trips make sure to bring some of your dog's favorite chew toys and treats, so he will not get bored. Stop often for exercise and potty breaks and be sure to have something to clean up after your dog.
Traveling by car can be a great experience for you and your pet, but to make sure that it is a great experience following these tips will be helpful. Now you're ready to ride off into the sunset.

Welcome to another edition of Barks & Bytes hosted by Jodi with Heart Like a Dog and Linda with 2BrownDawgs.
It's been a month since our last participation in the Barks & Bytes blog hop so we have a lot to cover. I'll try very hard to be brief. First off, if you haven't done so already, say Happy Birthday to my Maya who turned 7 at the end of August!
In a review of the Pet Dek that I made back in July, I mentioned how one of the legs kept coming off but I fixed it with a washer. The manufacturer of the Pet Dek saw my post and wanted to let me know that this issue has been fixed and is no longer a concern. Honest reviews really pay off!
The Portable Pet Travel Flat Seat is a comparable product and for the month of September, we are offering free shipping.
On Wednesday, September 10th, we shared the photos of three adorable Frenchies: Arnold, Belle, and Wilbur. Their mom first purchased the Portable Pet Travel Flat Seat from us. And when she found out we were also in Iowa, she explained how difficult it has been for her to find a dog car seat belt that would fit the odd shape of a Frenchie. And so I offered to visit her in person to try some on. The Kurgo Tru-Fit brand fit them nicely, but the Bergan dog seat belt fit even better. So Arnold, Belle, and Wilbur all have one and they wore them on their recent road trip.
If you haven't heard of Flea from DogTreatWeb for Jones Natural Chews, then you're really missing out. Her blog is funny and Flea is such a heartwarming person. We (Maya, Pierson, and I) have been lucky enough to have been able to meet her on two occasions. Once, during the holidays when we made our annual road trip from Kansas to Texas. And the second time just a couple of days ago as she traveled from Oklahoma to Illinois. It was a wonderful visit and Maya and Pierson were extremely spoiled with the Boo Bucket and other treats from Jones Natural Chews.
Remember earlier in the year where I mentioned one of our goals was to acquire the AllSafe dog car harness? Well, we finally got it! As of yesterday, the AllSafe pet seat belt is officially available on PetAutoSafety.com. For now, it has free shipping. This may change later so if you've been wanting one, now is the time to get one. Maya has hers already. Keep an eye out on this blog for our review.
The company that provides the AllSafe dog seat belt also has the VarioCage. If you haven't heard of it before, it is the absolute best car cage on the market. We don't have this one on our website yet, but it will be available before the end of the month.
A special thanks to Barbara from K9sOverCoffee and Lindsay with ThatMutt for adding two more means to find a dog lost after a car accident. Post fliers, contact a radio station to see if they will mention the lost pet, and contact shelters and rescue groups every day to see if anyone has brought in the pet. I can't believe I didn't think of these. Thank you!!!
And thank you to Patrice for writing these great pet travel articles for us:
Plan a Great Pet Friendly Trip
Finding Pet Friendly Accommodations
Thanks for stopping by, everyone and enjoy the rest of your week! 🙂
Having your dog wear a dog seat belt in the vehicle is a great way to keep them from distracting the driver. But you also want them to be safe, right? However, if your dog rides in the cargo area of your hatchback or SUV, you need to know that securing them to cargo rings may not be adequate.
The Center for Pet Safety, a nonprofit research facility for pet products, has recently reported that cargo connections may not have the necessary strength to hold your dog. This means the cargo ring can break if your dog is in a car accident, or even if your dog just pulls on it hard enough. Contact the vehicle manufacturer to find out what amount of force those cargo rings can withstand.
When we rented an SUV one year in order to make our annual trip from Kansas to Texas, we looked diligently for an SUV that had metal connections in the cargo area for Maya and Pierson. We did not find any. As a result, we found a way to connect their dog seat belt harnesses to the safety belt housing of the car located under the seat. However, the Center for Pet Safety advises against this as well.
If you need to have your dog ride in the cargo area, you may need to install a more secure connection in the cargo area. You can also opt to have your dog ride in a crate instead. Just be sure the crate can be secured in place.
We will soon have another option for dogs riding in cargo areas. By the end of September, you will see the VarioCage available on our PetAutoSafety.com retail site. The VarioCage is very expensive but it is also extremely durable. It has been extensively crash tested and even real-life situations have shown that the VarioCage remains intact.
Safety for our pets when we travel is very important and vehicle manufacturers are coming to realize this. More and more car commercials show a dog harnessed in the car. So if you have a vehicle with a cargo area and it doesn't have cargo rings or just has plastic cargo rings, tell the manufacturer that you want this feature. You may not be able to get it this time around, but they will hear you and hopefully install better connections in future models.
We read a lot of articles about pet travel and have come across more than a few handfuls where a dog involved in a car accident runs away from the scene and is lost for days. We've also followed up with many of these articles and have learned the situations where the dog is found. Most of these reunions have elements in common that can help you if your dog escapes from a terrifying situation.
Return to the Scene
Believe it or not, in most cases where a dog runs away after being in a car accident, he is found within less than a mile of the scene. In some cases, he is actually found at or near the area where the wreck took place. If the accident is on a busy roadway, he is probably going to stay some distance back. Look in nearby areas with lots of foliage or other places to hide.
Trauma Makes Dogs Wary
A dog involved in a traumatic situation is very likely to be skittish with strangers, even normally friendly dogs. If you are helping to locate someone's lost dog, make sure you have their number handy. If the dog moves away from you when you approach, stop approaching them and call for help.
Live Traps
Since traumatized dogs tend to be shy, putting live traps in areas where there have been sightings can help you catch him when you're not around. A shy dog may also avoid broad daylight. He may hide during the day, and then seek food and water in darker hours. A live trap will help attract the dog and hopefully catch him when people aren't able to be out searching.
Tell Everyone
Alert nearby neighbors, notify the local animal shelter and animal control, let the police know, and contact local rescue groups for help. Perhaps even call the local news stations. More than any of the others, individuals from dog rescue groups seem to be the people who most often answer the call to help. They can also be a great resource for getting live traps. Contacting local vet clinics is also a good idea for in case someone brings in a dog that needs medical attention.
Social Media Helps
There are a number of Facebook pages dedicated to finding lost pets. Sometimes pages are created by a family attempting to locate their own lost pet. The people who come together to help are amazing. They share posts, thereby spreading the word about a lost pet, they offer personal assistance with looking for the pet, or they may even have other ways to help. If your dog is missing, post it on CraigsList, Facebook, G+, Twitter, community classifieds, and anything else you can think of.
Protect Yourself from Scammers
Because you are posting the information about your dog publicly, there is a chance you will be contacted by scammers claiming to have found your dog but are wanting money before they return him. The most common scam is from people claiming they were traveling when they found your dog and they want money before they make the long drive back. Don't fall for it. It is a good idea to withhold a very specific trait about your dog when posting public lost ads. Perhaps your dog has a scar somewhere or a specific mark that is not noticeable in photographs. If a person claiming to have your dog is unwilling to verify specific marks, then they probably don't really have your dog. A person with the heart enough to pick up an abandoned dog is not likely to ask you for money or be difficult about getting the dog back to you. However, if you are convinced that such a person may, in fact, have your dog, insist on meeting them in person and in a public place before giving them money and see if the police will escort you.
Many of these tips can help in other situations, not just a car accident. If you have any additional tips that might help, please comment below.
(This is not an official study. It is merely an observation we've made based on online reports. There are probably a number of situations that were not reported and may not fit in these scenarios. If you've lost your pet, consider all options and don't give up.)
I posted a little bit about my road trip with my dogs, Maya and Pierson, on my American Dog Blog, but I thought I would share a few more details here. Namely, what I did to prepare and how we made sure our travel was comfortable and safe.
A few months ago, I made arrangements to see an alternative medicine doctor for my fibromyalgia in Wichita, Kansas. It is a five-and-a-half hour drive so we opted to drive. As always, we had to take the dogs into consideration. Despite living in Iowa for only a short time, we have met people we could trust to care for our dogs if we left. However, my husband couldn't go and as a female I didn't want to travel alone. And so I opted to take both dogs with me.
I would have two doctor visits on two consecutive days, so we needed a place to stay. The medical office gave me a list of nearby hotels. However, they either didn't allow pets at all, only allowed pets under 20lbs, or charged over $100+ per night. And so I chose the trusty Motel 6. I knew they were both inexpensive and pet friendly. And after our recent pleasant experience at a Motel 6 in Oklahoma, I hoped the one in Wichita would be the same. I was not disappointed. Check out my reviews of this Motel 6 on my American Dog Blog from both the link above and from the August 29, 2014 post.
> Don't Leave Dogs Alone in Hotel Room
One thing I did not take into consideration during my stay at Motel 6 is that you are not supposed to leave your pets unattended in the room. I should have made doggie day care arrangements for Maya and Pierson, but didn't think about it.
Most hotels have this rule about leaving pets and I understand why. When some dogs are left alone, they bark or will do damage to the room. Also, there could be problems when the cleaning staff tries to enter the room. Thankfully, Maya and Pierson are familiar with traveling and do well when left alone in a strange place. Pierson had his no-bark collar on. I also put a do not disturb sign on my door so the cleaning staff would not enter.
I won't tell you everything I packed for myself, but I will tell you I made sure I had plenty of food and drink for the road trip so that I wouldn't have to run into a convenience store and leave my dogs alone in the car. For Maya and Pierson, I packed enough dog food for two nights, water, their food and water dishes, leashes, dog car harnesses, vet records, pet first aid kit, Petz on Board sign with emergency contact info, dog beds, poo bags, treats, and the Portable Pet Travel Flat Seat.
I opted to take my husband's car instead of mine. My car is a 1998 model and has been salvaged twice so I don't want to drive it that far if I don't have to. I covered the entire back seat of my husband's car with a sheet and set up the Portable Pet Travel Flat Seat. I also connected the tethers of their dog car harnesses to the seat belt housings. Maya wore the Kurgo Go-Tech and Pierson wore the Ruff Rider Roadie. (Maya usually wears the ClickIt Utility dog seat belt, but it is so restrictive I didn't want to use this one for such a long journey.)
> Calming and Preventing Car Sickness
About 20 minutes before the trip, I applied Travel Calm from Earth Heart to both Maya and Pierson. Maya needs it because she is so excited in the car and drives me nuts with her happy whining. Pierson sometimes gets car sick and Travel Calm also helps with this.
Both dogs did very well on the drive to Wichita, but Maya was a pesty-poo on the way back home. I'm not sure if she was uncomfortable or what, but the Travel Calm did not work this time. She whined so much that I made several stops thinking perhaps she had to go to the bathroom. She didn't. In any case, it took much longer for us to get home.
> Don't Leave Dogs Alone in the Car
I didn't have to stop for a restroom on the drive to our destination, but I had to stop for myself on the drive back. I hated to leave my dogs in the car, but I had no choice. Pets are not allowed in public restrooms, period. Luckily, I pulled up next to some nice ladies and asked if they could keep a short eye out for my pups. They were happy to oblige. I wouldn't always trust this tactic, but you gotta do what you gotta do and I like to think that most people are relatively trustworthy.
Have you taken any recent road trips with your dogs? Please leave a comment below. If you'd like to do a guest post on your pet travels, email me. 🙂

|November of 2003 I played three times. Cost per round was $26USD including gas cart. If you are alone as I was, just arrive early in the morning and check-in. You are playing within a half-hour. Friendly people, challenging course, decent rate and IT'S HAWAII!!! Restaurant on site, park and beach nearby. There are always little things to complain about but they are negligible. Enjoyed myself, met nice people.

Fair play league: http://www.premierleague.com/page/FairPlayTable/0,,12306,00.htmlAs on end Dec top 4 are Liverpool, Everton, Spurs, and Man City... if things continue as they are I'd probably expect Liv, Ev, & MC to get 4-6th in the 'normal' league, would be interesting to see how far down the FP league we'd have to go. It'd also be nice to see teams playing well and fairly (I don't want to rant about it because I'm still smug, but Drogba nearly ruined the game for me today, such a cheating *******).

We'll be holding a revision session for Year 1 students for convergent journalism 1 on Monday afternoon. 2.30pm in the main newsroom.
With apologies to all those who had volunteered to road-test the NCTJ Essential Journalism exam tomorrow, the session has just been cancelled by the NCTJ. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll keep you posted if is to be re-convened.
The good news for our students keeps on coming. Third years Jackie Gordon and Ali Iveson will join the KM Group next month as trainee reporters, continuing the tradition of CfJ students landing great jobs before they've even graduated.
Jackie will be working in the Gravesend and Medway offices, while Ali will be based in Maidstone. We look forward to seeing their bylines regularly in print and online.
Congratulations both of you.
Two of our undergraduate students have won scholarships to a prestigious summer course in Prague. Third year Sheryll Goddard and second year Boglarka Kosztolanyi will travel to the Czech Republic capital in August to take part in Journey, a programme run by the Bakala Foundation in which promising students are given the chance to work with and learn from top media professionals.
Thanks to all those who volunteered to road-test the NCTJ's new Essential Journalism exam. I'm afraid I ended up with too many names, so have used the time-honoured 'sorting hat' technique (i.e pulling names out of a coffee cup) to reduce the number of volunteers to the 15 that the NCTJ wanted.
The 15 names are below - apologies if you volunteered but are not on the list.
Year 3 project marks and feedback forms are available from Anastasia's office this afternoon.
We're looking for some student volunteers to 'test drive' a new format of electronic exams for the NCTJ.
There's no preparation required. You'll just need to spare us 2 hours 30 minutes of your time in our newsroom on a date to be confirmed in the next couple of weeks. You'll sit an on-screen exam, under exam conditions, which is similar in style to the current NCTJ News Reporting exam - but it's all done in a web-based 'exam portal'.
What's in it for you? The NCTJ will fund a free 'real' exam (of your choice) for you later on.
Congratulations to the many CfJ students who passed their NCTJ court reporting exam. We had an 82 per cent pass rate in the centre. Great work everyone, and thanks to our brilliant tutor Sarah Fuller.
Particularly impressive performances came from MA students Louisa Britton (with a whopping 91 per cent) and Kishan Koria (with a fractionally-less-whopping 90 per cent), and from BA student Andy Robinson (with a mighty 86 per cent).
Others to bag an A grade were: Adele Couchman, Lauren Harris, Natalie Tipping, Duarte Dias and Olivia Eden-Brown.
A reminder to all Year 1, Year 2 and MA students that you'll need to submit the final element of your portfolios for Convergent Journalism 1 and 2, and for Practical Multimedia Journalism modules respectively.
We'll hold a brief exam preparation session for Convergent Journalism 3 in the small newsroom on Thursday at 2pm.

For some reason, a WordPress blog I work on all of a sudden no longer allows any of it's users to log in, it just hangs on the log in page before timing out and giving a page not found error. Here's what I've tried:
- upgraded to latest wordpress
- set up new database on server and connected to it -works fine (so it's not the wordpress files or the server, must be a database problem I guess?)
- ran a repair on the database using phpmyadmin
- reset passwords on accounts (the password reset system still seems to work, although I get the same result when I actually try to log in)
- cleared cache, cookies, etc
Can anyone help?

I ask if it's possible to add sort by "Last online"
I ask if it's possible to add sort by "Last online"
I am guessing that you are use BBpress or budypress and it those uses you are looking to track.
I guess it possible I just need to know where to get the data from
Can you provide more info?
Hi have just looked uo last log-in and it seem that WP does store this for users. So I what have to do this. I am not going to just drop this code in just in case it needed. So I will need to turn it on if needed (if a last logged on is select in a widget short code. The question is how to do this. I could just set it on every page load that a the setting is set on.
But it might be confusing if you set this and nothing would change as no other users have yet to log-in and until they have is will in the default order.
I need more info for the usecase for this before I code it.
See links for more info on save last log-in data
I use BBPress.
actually I use Who's online, I don't know wich table is created/used:
I want change because this plugin display 20 members and it can't be changed to 10, or 5
I you can add on your addon.
thanks :)

Even though I admit that I was foolish in trying to purchase a computer without knowing much about computers or the company I was dealing with, I still feel very much tooken advantage of by this company,the additional soft ware that was sold to me pretty much came free with the computer in there microsoft package,For example I was sold the music match software package for $100 and something dollars but discovered there was a better music management package that came free with the computer.I purchased word perfect office package for over a hundred dollars and most of what it offers came free already with the computer but of course the sells person did not advice me of this as a matter of fact none of this software was my idea he told me of a wonderful package that included all of this stuff including the printer wich was an incredible low price of about 2000 dollars,And I like the unknowing Idiot said I'd take it for 67.00 per month not knowing that Id be paying 67.00 per month for roughly the next four years,And if your late tack on another 30.00 for late fee the apr is around 24% wich for me means that out of the seventy dollars that I send to them every month only 35.00 goes towards what I owe the finance charge keeps the rest and Ive been paying for almost two yearsso you can imagine how much money I'm being ripped off for, so I will tell all of you like I tell my friends and family dont buy from these people you will get more for your money going somewhere else and if you do decide to buy please do your homework before calling,there sales people are as ruthless as car salesmen on a lemon lot and I would advice anyone needing to finance to either look around for a store that has really good sales on electronics and if you still cant afford to buy it put one on layaway thats what I should have done I would have saved myself alot of money and alot of stress and worry!

Avoiding the problem
AUTHOR: Larry - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 28, 2002POSTED: Thursday, March 28, 2002
I have been involved with computers since 1971. Personal computers are one of the most complicated devices on the market. I strongly advise novice users to get help from a more experienced person before buying any computer from anyone. I also advise novice users to avoid buying from any dealer who cannot provide face-to-face assistance.
I bought a Gateway computer myself in early 1999. I thought it was a good deal and the hardware has worked flawlessly. I did have one problem with the software, however, that was ultimately resolved by erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system and all other software. While this may not be typical, it does illustrate what you may have to do with a mail-order computer. If you are not prepared to do your own software installations you probably should stay away from Gateway, Dell, and other mail-order outlets.
Most computer problems are caused by software, not hardware. Hardware is covered by the warranty, software is not. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference without seeing the problem first-hand. A novice user, such as this one, is not going to have much luck with over-the-phone technical support. She needs to take this machine to someone qualified to fix it. The bad news is that no matter where she bought it she will likely have to pay to resolve any software issues.
Buying software is also tricky. This is once again where the novice buyer needs help from an experienced person. As this buyer learned, bundles of software often duplicate software provided with the operating system or include programs that the user has no need for.
Always beware when someone selling something offers to finance it. Whether it is a computer, a car, a big-screen TV, the seller is going to get a cut of the financing costs and that will come from your pocket. If your credit is good, shop around because you can probably get better financing on your own. If your credit is not so good, then maybe you should ask if this is really a good deal because it probably is not. Either way, you need to understand what you will pay and for how long. It's your job to find that out.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Annotation of Protein Domains Reveals Remarkable Conservation in the Functional Make up of Proteomes Across Superkingdoms
AbstractThe functional repertoire of a cell is largely embodied in its proteome, the collection of proteins encoded in the genome of an organism. The molecular functions of proteins are the direct consequence of their structure and structure can be inferred from sequence using hidden Markov models of structural recognition. Here we analyze the functional annotation of protein domain structures in almost a thousand sequenced genomes, exploring the functional and structural diversity of proteomes. We find there is a remarkable conservation in the distribution of domains with respect to the molecular functions they perform in the three superkingdoms of life. In general, most of the protein repertoire is spent in functions related to metabolic processes but there are significant differences in the usage of domains for regulatory and extra-cellular processes both within and between superkingdoms. Our results support the hypotheses that the proteomes of superkingdom Eukarya evolved via genome expansion mechanisms that were directed towards innovating new domain architectures for regulatory and extra/intracellular process functions needed for example to maintain the integrity of multicellular structure or to interact with environmental biotic and abiotic factors (e.g., cell signaling and adhesion, immune responses, and toxin production). Proteomes of microbial superkingdoms Archaea and Bacteria retained fewer numbers of domains and maintained simple and smaller protein repertoires. Viruses appear to play an important role in the evolution of superkingdoms. We finally identify few genomic outliers that deviate significantly from the conserved functional design. These include Nanoarchaeum equitans, proteobacterial symbionts of insects with extremely reduced genomes, Tenericutes and Guillardia theta. These organisms spend most of their domains on information functions, including translation and transcription, rather than on metabolism and harbor a domain repertoire characteristic of parasitic organisms. In contrast, the functional repertoire of the proteomes of the Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae superphylum was no different than the rest of bacteria, failing to support claims of them representing a separate superkingdom. In turn, Protista and Bacteria shared similar functional distribution patterns suggesting an ancestral evolutionary link between these groups.
