Innovative young entrepreneurs have been hailed time and again as Britain's great hope for bringing us out of recession.
It is hoped that these budding, creative, small and medium-sized businesses can accelerate the rebuilding job faced by the nation.
Until now, banks have been reluctant to lend to new customers without a strong track record, which has meant a real struggle for start-ups and developing small businesses. But now thanks to measures taken by the UK government, young entrepreneurs and small businesses will be given access to grants to facilitate setting up business in the right way and help them lead the way to economic recovery.
Cost cutting can mean corners are cut
Tough decisions have to be made with any new business venture, which can lead to confusion over which expenditure is essential, and which isn't. Important costs for protecting a new company, such as business insurance, can be overlooked when faced with a pile of urgent bills or other financial pressures.
£82m government fund
However the new scheme, announced by David Cameron in late May, has the potential to help start-ups start off in the right way, including putting in place cover such as public liability insurance or professional indemnity insurance – allowing entrepreneurs to protect their business right from the get-go, and to focus on growing their businesses.
The scheme has proposed £82m of loans for young people aged between 18 and 24, who would typically struggle to get a loan from a bank.
Each of these loans can be up to around £2,500. The loan would have to be repaid within five years, with interest charged at current RPI (Retail Prices Index) plus an additional 3%. According to industry experts this is a reasonable rate compared to what is normally available on the high street for small businesses.
Potential for 30,000 start-ups
The Prime Minister said that he hopes as many as 30,000 start-ups could emerge as a result of the fund, which should provide a much-needed boost to Britain's struggling economy.
This is important because historically when it has come to small and medium-sized businesses, the banks have proven reluctant to assist. "A bank would not give it to a young person without any track record," said Lord Young.
This scheme offers more than just money. Mentorship is also on offer: advice and guidance on what steps to take when setting up a business, such as office costs, employee issues and advice on accounting and business insurance.
"Many don't realise the opportunity that enterprise offers," said the review into UK entrepreneurship, which has led to the creation of the £82m fund.

I have three year old source code based on LinuxBIOS that supports this board. Our code was never submitted, because another CK804 port of LinuxBIOS was completed and submitted before ours. Three years ago, I didn't have any trouble getting technical information for the nVidia CK804 chipset. An NDA was required. nVidia was very easy to work with, especially while reviewing our source code. We were provided with good support by nVidia. --- CK804 code in official LinuxBIOS source code --- The nVidia CK804 chipset is definitely supported by coreboot. See ./src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/. What happened to the mainboard and target files of the nVidia CK804 CRB board? Did someone remove them from the coreboot repository? I also have a snapshot of the official LinuxBIOS code right after the other CK804 port was officially submitted (three years ago). It contains ./src/mainboard/nvidia/nf4crb, so the CK804 mainboard files were in the official tree. However, I see no evidence that the target files were in that snapshot, but I assumed that they were added later. Sincerely, Ken Fuchs

Virginia Business Journal Highlights Curry Faculty's Kindergarten Readiness Research
The Hampton Roads business journal Inside Business released an article discussing anticipated shifts in the landscape of Virginia's early childhood education system during 2014. The piece highlighted the Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Project (VKRP), which aims to implement a comprehensive kindergarten assessment in order to establish a statewide snapshot of children's school readiness skills. The VKRP is a joint effort between researchers at the Curry School of Education's Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL), the advocacy group Elevate Early Education (E3), and the Commonwealth.
In the article, Amanda Williford, CASTL research assistant professor and principal investigator on the VKRP, commented on the project and early childhood education in Virginia:
Williford said she's proud of the progress on early childhood education in the state, but Virginia still lags behind states including Georgia and North Carolina in terms of fund appropriations and access. "I think E3 and VECF are doing great work to try to increase the focus on early childhood in Virginia," she said. "But up to this date there hasn't been as much traction as we early childhood researchers would like to see."
The article cites a growing base of research establishing the importance of learning opportunities in the first five years of life as a catalyst for increases in government-appropriated funds and support from other public and private organizations. It goes on to describe the early education reform efforts led by the Virginia Early Childhood Policy Center, Alexandria Delegate Rob Krupicka, and the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation.

In his books and now a CD, Arnold Zable explores personal experience as universal, writes Sharon Mascall.
Arnold Zable is a man with an obsession. "It takes four or five books before a writer realises what their obsessions are," he says. "I've begun to see that I'm obsessed by that generation that made a journey to a new life."
"That generation" included Zable's own Polish-Jewish parents and his Greek wife's family. Their journeys were by boat, to the other side of the world: their new life was in Australia.
Over the past 15 years, Zable has become Melbourne's best-loved writer on the migrant experience. His first book on the subject, Jewels and Ashes (1991), won five Australian literary awards. In it, he retraced the steps of his family and told the story of a generation that almost perished in the Holocaust.
More recently, he has become known as a writer with a mission. His articles in The Age and elsewhere raising concerns about Australia's immigration policy reflect his belief that this is a country forgetting its migrant past.
"It's so easy to take our presence here for granted, when the truth is, except for indigenous people, all Australians have in their recent past an ancestor who made that journey," he says.
Zable's empathy for migrant Australians crosses creative as well as cultural boundaries. This month, his CD, The Fig Tree, co-produced with the Melbourne cultural support group and music cafe, The Boite, won the award for best recording at the National Folk Festival in Canberra.
The Fig Tree began as a book. Inspired by the birth of his son, in it Zable retraces the steps of his wife's family from Greece and migrants like them. At its launch, he asked some friends to perform their music. They included Melbourne's singer song-writers Kavisha Mazella, Anthea Sidiropoulos and Costas Tsicaderis, plus Klezmer musicians Freydi Mrocki and David Krycer.
We constantly have to keep seeking our common humanity that goes beyond our cultural boundaries.
"I started thinking their music conveys what I've been trying to say in the book in a very powerful way," he says.
"It captured the migrant journeys, showing the universality of that experience."
Combined with readings from Zable's book, the music became a concert, also called The Fig Tree. Its opening words come from an essay he wrote, some years ago, for an exhibition at Melbourne's Immigration Museum: "We are a nation of immigrants and indigenous people. A new world with an ancient past. A grand symphony with many melodies."
Performances of The Fig Tree concert have given that "grand symphony" a new significance and, along with it, the stories drawn from his own family and his wife's Greek ancestry have achieved a new resonance.
They are also the expression of a fascination he has had since childhood. Born in 1948, he spent his childhood in Carlton, immersed in a community where people had left Europe for a new life in Australia.
"As a child, I lived in two worlds. I was an Aussie boy on the streets of Carlton spending time with my Aussie friends who came from very many parts of the world.
"But, as soon as I came through the door of my home, I was in another world where another language was being spoken. My mother sang songs from another time, another place. My father was obsessed with culture from another time and another place."
Other times, places and people dominate Zable's work.
"We need to cross cultural boundaries," he says. "We need to see that there is something that transcends. We constantly have to keep seeking our common humanity that goes beyond our cultural boundaries."
The result is an attempt to make the personal universal. Zable's stories reflect experiences common to all: adventure, hope, nostalgia and pain.
"One of my favourite songs in the concert is Wedding Sheets," says Zable. "To me, that song has a personal resonance, but also a universal resonance - it is one of the great songs about the migrant experience written in this country."
The song, by Mazella, tells the story of proxy brides - women who came to Australia to marry men they had never met.
"What an incredible undertaking it was. Can you imagine what it was like giving your body to a stranger? What it must have been like that first night.
"As a novelist, you want to delve into things like this, to try to imagine what that was all about."
In the song, the proxy bride is Italian. In Zable's book she is his wife's Greek grandmother, a migrant, who came to Australia to marry in the 1920s.
"I think it's all too easy for subsequent generations to forget what the journey really entailed. The courage, the risks, the dangers. For some, the sense of adventure and for all too many the desperation," he says.
Zable was a political scientist before he became a writer and story-teller. His awareness of political context gives his work a conscience.
He dedicated The Fig Tree to a woman who gave birth on a sinking boat on route to Australia from Indonesia.
"Whilst, on the one hand, I tell stories of immigrants of an earlier generation who are connected to my family, this is a continuing story: what happened when that boat sank was a dramatic example of the dangers immigrants face, the courage they must face to make the journey," he says.
"It's also to do with birth. The book is partly inspired by the birth of my son, Alexander. And here we have a woman who is about to start a new life and she never gets the chance."
Zable says the connection is very important to him. "I believe that ultimately the personal is the universal and must be. If you're only telling your own story without seeing its wider significance you run the danger of being too inward-looking.
"We're also part of a greater family. The family of human beings."
The book The Fig Tree is published by Text Publishing. The Fig Tree CD is available from The Boite, in Collingwood, on 03 9417 1983.

State Rep. Stratton Bone, D-Lebanon, along with 39 other House Democrats and two Republicans, on Wednesday voted down a bill that would have allowed coal mining companies to dump unacceptable levels of selenium into local streams and rivers.
"Some of the best things about Tennessee are our natural resources and we must continue to protect them for generations to come," Bone said. "We have seen the long-term damage that can occur when we sell them out to the highest bidder and today we said enough is enough."
House Bill 1204 by Rep. Joe McCord, R-Maryville, would have increased the toxic effluent limitations of the substance known as selenium. Inorganic selenium is present in water in two key forms and is highly toxic to fish and wildlife.
Under the proposed legislation, Tennessee standards on selenium could not be any more stringent than the recommended national criteria established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, the bill also goes further and adopts a proposed 2004 standard not recognized as the official standard of the EPA. Current EPA standards established in 1984 recognize the maximum level of selenium at 5ug/g. Under HB1204, that standard would be weakened to 7.9ug/g.
In a report presented by Dr. A. Dennis Lemly, the original scientist in charge of developing the revised selenium standard, he writes that there are "several egregious errors bias EPA's draft selenium criterion" and the report "dangerously overestimates the safely tolerable tissue-based number." The report goes on to say that the suggested standard of 7.9ug/g "would allow up to 85% of fish and aquatic birds to be poisoned."
"As Legislators, we have a responsibility to be good stewards of our state, and to do what we can to protect it for the next generation of Tennesseans to come," Bone said. "Poisoning our fish and wildlife for the sake of coal production is not the definition of being a good steward."
In response to questions, EPA Acting Regional Administrator A. Stanley Meiburg wrote a letter stating that the standard being proposed by HB1204 is "not an adopted or recommended standard or even a proposed rule" and that "the EPA is still working on a selenium standard based on analysis of fish tissue to set a selenium level which protects against the chronic effects of selenium as it builds up in fish and other aquatic life."
"This legislature is trying to take Tennessee into the 21st century and with it bring green jobs and opportunities all across our state," Bone said. "How can we promote a new generation of green workers if we continue to destroy the natural resources that we have?" The bill failed to reach the required 50 votes necessary for passage and has now been referred to the House Calendar and Rules Committee. The measure may still be brought up before the end of session later this month.

I am helping someone with his new HP Vista Media Center that is wired
network connected to a nice 42" HP LCD HDTV. It works well with over the
air (OTA) HDTV tuner, WMV HD sampler files, DVDs, and non-HD WMV files.
However, playing DivX, QuickTime, etc. doesn't work.
I read that Vista's Media Center (no need for codecs, special players,
etc.) already knows how to handle these video file formats. Is there
something missing that we might had missed? I am not familiar with Media
Center so I am new to this.
Thank you in advance.

Baked Pumpkin Brulee French Toast
Recipe by TasteTester
This makes a delicious breakfast/brunch treat. Be sure to use canned pumpkin puree, not fresh, because even if pureed, fresh pumpkin can sometimes still have fibrous pulp. Note that cooking time also includes sitting and cooling time.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
I'm not sure if French toast can get any better than this ~ OUTSTANDING! I did cut the recipe down to just 1/4, to serve 2 of us, & still it was a lot, especially with a sizeable side of fresh fruit! Thanks for a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #26]

Parma (22) 45Try: Little 2, Penalty 2, Mazzucato Cons: Canale 2, Robuschi 2Pens: Canale 2, Robuschi 2
Border Reivers (6) 37 Try: Dalziel, De Luca, Penalty, Palepoi Pens: MacRae (3) Cons: MacRae (4)
Border Reivers paid for their handling errors as their Heineken Cup campaign ended in defeat in Italy.
Two Arthur Little tries - one a 90-yard interception - and a penalty try wiped out Borders' brief early lead as Parma romped to a 22-6 half-time lead.
Tries by John Dalziel, Nick De Luca and a penalty try lifted the Scots' hopes.
But Alejandro Canale's boot, another Parma penalty try and a touchdown by Nicola Mazzucato meant Opeta Palepoi's late effort was all in vain.
After Calum MacRae kicked Reivers into an early lead, Little soon went over twice.
First he got on the end of a chip through, and the second was a length-of-the-pitch dash after intercepting a pass by Gregor Townsend, playing his final European game.
A penalty try for twisting the scrum just added to Reivers woes, and they needed to respond well after the break to have any chance of salvaging victory.
With the home side down to 14 men, Rob Chrystie's tap-penalty set up Dalziel to score before de Luca added another, both converted by MacRae.
The sides traded penalties and penalty tries before substitute Mazzucato and Palepoi rounded off the try scoring.
"The killer blow was the interception try we gave them towards the end of the first half.
"They had already scored two touchdowns they didn't have to work for, so it was entirely our own fault that we were in a precarious position at that stage.
"At half-time we discussed the fact that we had not envisaged the match going like this.
"It was hugely disappointing to throw it all away in the end by giving them too many opportunities."
Overmach Parma: Little, Robuschi, A. Orsi, Chillon, R. Pavan, Canale, Pellicena, Fontana, Masetti, Paoletti, Minello, Guiness, R. Barbieri, Pascu, M. Vosawai.

Clare Smyth MBE has now been appointed chef-patron of Gordon Ramsay's flagship Chelsea restaurant. Her name features on the intelligently inventive menu, and the cool, elegant dining room has been refurbished with distinctly feminine touches, including lilac-toned silk-screen print panels.
Dishes tantalise then delight the senses; no element of the complex assemblies seems showily redundant – even the pouring of sauces at table adds visual and aromatic impact. A snow of frozen buttermilk proved a perfect counterpoint to slivers of summer vegetables in a rock pool of warm, deeply flavoured jus. Shavings of salt-baked turnip gave saline balance to the sweetness of rabbit loin with roast hazelnuts, and vadouvan-spiced, smoke-puffed wild rice provided a crunchy backdrop to tender mutton.
If our set lunch desserts were a touch less perfect, petits fours stepped in with polished panache. It helps to have an insouciant budget, but we were treated with warm courtesy throughout: even by the sommelier, pre-tasting our screw-topped South African rosé. Show particular interest in any aspect of the meal and you'll elicit an enthusiastic and informed response.
The Herdwick mutton, we discovered, was ineffably pink and tender because it had been brought down from high ground hefting to lush grassland for three months. We left with a smile, and lifted spirits.

Let me add that from service to food preparation, the theatre of it all, this is an amazing experience beyond just a fine dining moment. If you can get a reservation do go.
Excellent service and great desserts bookend a fairly average meal. There is too much focus on expensive ingredients and not enough on making each plate special. While everything was competently cooked and the individual components of each dish were tasty, the dishes are highly conservative and in most cases, with the exception of dessert, the sum of the parts was below par. Overall, a fairly disappointing meal for somewhere with such a high reputation and top-end price. There are much better options in London at this level (Alyn Williams, the Square, the Five Fields to name a few) all of which are lower cost than GR and provide a significantly better gourmet experience.
We went to the restaurant for lunch. It was a very special occasion. Everything was perfect. The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and most helpful. The setting could not have been better and we made most welcome and made to feel very special. The highlight was when we were invited to view the kitchen and meet Clare Smyth abd the staff. We hope to go to the retaurant again when we are next in London. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. With every good wish, Ian Pickup.
Nice staff,very friendly.Wonderfull food.

Re: Numerical solution from Module
The module does not know that the a, b, c, in sol[a_,b_,c_] are the same as as those in f[x] because they do not appear in the definition of sol. You have to make the connection explicitly. If you don't want to say f[x,a,b,c], an alternative is:
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x + c
soln[aa_, bb_, cc_] := Module[
xsoln =
x /. Solve[(f[x] /. a -> aa /. b -> bb /. c -> cc) == 0, x]

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Good location for the Acropolis convention centre. Roadworks outside the hotel, location on a very busy road. Room was very very basic.
Great staff. Very helpfull. Strange smell in hallway outside the room.
It was clean, comfortable and only one tram station away from Piazza Garibaldi. Good connection to the railway station and very close to the Ligne d'Azur bus ( 1 euro trip to Monaco, Cannes, Menton, Antibe etc). We spent the first night in a standard double room even though we had paid for a superior one, because they were all booked up; that was a little confusing since we had made our reservation and paid for a superior double room three months prior to our arrival... But they change our room the very next day and it was ok.
Breakfast was excellent. Location was also very good. No drinks served at the bar area.
the big rooms, the seperate door in the hotel room, so your room didn't open straight out on to the corridor. the pool on top of the hotel outside was dirty and cold. the toilet smelled of urine. the showed leaked all over the floor and we had to use our towels to keep mopping the water up.
Third visit to this hotel, very good value for money....better than many 4 star in Nice. Close to trams/trains and easy walking to Old Nice......
Room was a comfortable size Breakfast should be included in the price
Comfortable rooms. Swimming pool area not so big and only a few beds.
Comfortable accomodation, location good;
there was only 2 lifts available and one was down. To make matters worse, the hotel was busy. Also there was some roadworks outside the hotel and there was no parking so we had to pay for parking ourselves
Other than a well-run small hotel, the owners were very kind, helpful, and good-humored. Breakfast was nice and worth the 9 EUR price. While there's a nice view from the hotel, it's just a bit far from the Old Town of Nice. But this was expected. And the walk is enjoyable anyway. There's also a bus for faster travel (1.5EURper person).
close to railwaystation no airco
The hotel is very close to railway and tram station, 10 min walk to central square. They give you to choice of 2 rooms, I choose one on the last floor without any view, but I have read reviews about noise from the front rooms and decided to stay on the roof room and it was bigger in size. Room was very clean and reception staff was very friendly. There was some noise from the working generator on the 5th floor during the day, but at night it was silent
hotel staff, rooms were clean, right now there is a lot of construction work for tram line laying going on in avenue massaena (excuse my french!!) . and once that is done, this hotel will be very very well connected via tram thru one of the biggest roads in nice and directly to the beach. absolutely none!
Having the choice of a studio was good Little bit far from old part of Nice to make easy walking for an older member of group.
Staff was very friendly, clean rooms, good location, good value for the cheap price,..
good location to shopping and tram when considering the cost there is nothing to complain about
Excellent staff, quite small but very clean rooms. The price was very good for the services offered. The hotel is 10 minutes away from the city center by foot. There is also a tram nearby, which gets you to the city center very fast.
Close to the train station for our early morning departure time.
Very nice staff, centrally situated hotel, very good breakfast, nice room, very good price. From the airport take bus 23. (the station is at 5 minute to walk)
Service by the staff Small rooms ' without air condition
Helpful staff, close 2 train station Some staff do not speak English
Nearness of public transport ie: tram, train & buses. Lady receptionist was very helpful and had excellent English. Room newly decorated and recently renovated en suite. Interesting red decor throughout the hotel which gave a pleasant ambiance. Small room but it is typical of this type of French hotel. Thin walls and noisy children. Towel threadbare on first night but after returning it to reception, linen was fine for subsequent days. Very dark room with poor lighting in breakfast area - didn't stay at hotel for subsequent breakfasts after first day although nothing wrong with the food.
The Parisien was close to the train station and easy to find. It was a pleasant stay at an ideal hotel for our purposes. The staff we met, front of house where always polite and presentable. The complaint is the price change after agreeing one price previously, which has dampened the experiance.
The hotel was close to the train station and walking distance to main shopping areas, old town, and the beach. I had problems with the pillow and the space in the room was a little tight. The area late at night didn't feel very safe. Be prepared to pay cash since their credit card machine didn't work when we were there.
Very clean and nice room. A good walk from the beach.
a little bit far from beach
flexible and super polite staff. good value for money in the location
Helpful staff The shower room was in poor structural condition.
Close to train station and easy access to supermarkets and local shopping and sights Thin walls, baby crying and dance music at odd hours of the day. Werid smell in hallway
Free private indoor parking, Nicola the owner was really helpfull and the shared bathroom was really clean always.Great value for money
I enjoyed 2 nights at this hotel. The owner provided for us the place to enjoy conversation with other guests ! You can have a time with international people. You also use a washing machine, a tumble drier and a kitchen anytime.
The location of this guesthouse was great! (5 mins on a tram and you are in the center of the old part of Nice) This was one of the only places I could find which included breakfast. The staff were very friendly! The shared bathroom wasn't kept as clean as it could have been.
We spent 3 months in Europe and this was probably the most comfortable stay we had. Nicholas was extremely welcoming, offered us full use of the kitchen, laundry machines and his collection of DVDs. The bed was comfortable and the room was impeccably clean. The shared living room was a nice place to sit and watch television on a big screen after a long day. Also, the Guesthouse is only a few tram stops away from the train station and the walk to the Old Ville is easy and not long.
Lovely couple run this guesthouse. It seems you basically have the run of their kitchen and bathroom though we never felt awkward or in the way. Good breakfast in the morning, and we were up earlier than it was served but were allowed to just take what we needed from the kitchen. Awesome little dog and very friendly cat. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Limited car spaces it seemed. Awesome little dog did get a bit lonely and want to hang out in our room. Maybe not so good if you're allergic.
this is a guesthouse. Nicolas is nice. My room was clean and the furniture was ok.
The place is well located if you have only one day and want to see the two main museums and also go to Monte Carlo. That assumes you can find it. The address in the ads is not correct and it's up an alley with no signs. Claims to include breakfast. Did not. Claims to have wifi. Did not. The woman is rude and strange. Huge steep steps and no help with the luggage. Dog is underfoot and gnaws at your feet. The woman was not there in the morning and when she finally showed up and I asked her to call me a cab, she gave me a lecture TWICE about how I should walk (1.9 km to the station) or take the bus. We EACH had two suitcases and a backpack. Hello? The place is run down and gloomy and there is junk all over the yard. When the promised and PAID FOR breakfast did not materialize, my friend asked for coffee. Coffee was given, but then she was told (ordered, really) to drink it in the room and not on the terrace. Avoid this weird, Norman Bates type experience.

Singapore (AFP) June 12, 2013
Singapore is fighting back against a rapidly worsening dengue epidemic by distributing insect repellants to every household and recruiting hundreds of disease control officers, officials said.
Two Singaporeans have died from the virus so far this year and weekly cases hit an all-time high of 820 in the period ending June 8, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said in a statement issued late Tuesday.
More than 9,300 people were infected this year as of Tuesday, fast nearing the 13,984 infections in 2005, the worst year on record, official data showed.
NEA said its officers and volunteers would be distributing 1.2 million insect repellants to all households in the compact island of over five million from July to August this year.
This would "help residents protect themselves from mosquito bites and thus break the chain of transmission," it said.
The agency is also hiring 300 new officers to supplement its current 850-strong disease control team.
"With the strengthened operational workforce, NEA will be able to inspect 100 percent of the premises in dengue clusters within a week, as well as to step up preventive surveillance checks in non-cluster areas," it said.
Dengue is endemic in Singapore, a rainy tropical island, as well as neighbouring Southeast Asian countries.
The virus causes high fever, headaches, itching and joint pains. At an advanced stage it can lead to haemorrhaging and death.
The NEA said the current epidemic was driven by "low population immunity" and warmer weather. The Aedes mosquito, which carries the virus and transmits the disease, thrives during the hot season.
Homeowners in the city-state -- known for its fastidious sanitation -- can be fined Sg$200 ($160) if mosquito breeding spots are found in their homes.
Repeat offenders can be fined up to Sg$5,000 or jailed for up to three months, or both.
The World Health Organization (WHO) warned in January that the disease had global "epidemic potential" after registering a 30-fold increase in the last 50 years to two million cases annually due to climate change and increased travel.

- Ross thinks Europe is going to stay into recession into next year because every country is going through some form of austerity.
- The spree of deal making is being driven by the good stock market which emboldens that acquiring companies and because companies have a lot of cash on their balance sheets.

Cabrillo continued its perfect start to Moore League play Friday night and made it look easy with a blowout on the road against Millikan.
The two-headed monster at quarterback for Cabrillo controlled the game from start to finish, with Jalen Warfield and Kaelon Price combining for 246 yards through the air, 63 on the ground and six total touchdowns en route to the 48-13 victory.
The Jaguars (2-4, 2-0) took control of the contest immediately, forcing Millikan (0-5, 0-1) to fumble the opening kickoff.
Warfield got the scoring started on the Jaguars' second possession with a 9-yard touchdown run.
The senior accounted for two more touchdowns in the first half on a 19-yard run and a pass to junior Brenden Washington from 7 yards out.
"Everyone is more focused now, we've got the preseason jitters out of the way," Warfield said. "Everyone is maturing as a team and executing more.
The Jaguars never relented, sealing the victory with touchdowns on their first two second-half possessions. Senior Jordan Thompson left his mark with an 80-yard run that made the score 41-0.
Cabrillo head coach Jason Brown said his team wanted to avoid a letdown following its Moore League opening victory against Jordan last week.
"I told our guys we're only going to be able to get better," Brown said. "Our youthful guys are getting a lot of experience so the sky is the limit moving forward."
Both Rams touchdowns came with less than four minutes to go.
The team's lone highlight of the night came on a 53-yard scoring pass from junior Dean Duggan to senior Sidney Scott. Duggan finished 3 of 10 for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Cabrillo returns to the field Friday when it hosts Compton. Millikan will play its homecoming game against Wilson. Both contests will be at 7 p.m.

UN program in Iraq faces $1.63 billion shortfall
The UN oil-for-food program in Iraq faces a shortfall of about $1.63 billion in the current five-month phase, the United Nations said Tuesday, November 6 after Iraq's oil exports slipped again last week.
The volume exported under UN supervision fell from 14.9 million the previous week to 14.6 million barrels, the office administering the program said.
In the week ending November 2, there were five loadings at Iraq's Gulf port of Mina Al-Bakr and four at the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, the only export outlets authorized under UN sanctions imposed on Iraq in 1990.
The average price of Iraqi crude during the week was about $16.82 (18.58 euros) a barrel and revenue was estimated at $215 million (237 million euros), the office said. Revenue so far in the current phase of the program, which runs from July 4 to November 30, is about 4.96 billion euros, or $4.49 billion.
With the price of Iraqi oil falling from $24.30 a barrel in the past six weeks, the office said revenue for the phase was expected to reach only about $5.38 billion. Only 72 percent of that -- $about 3.87 billion -- is available to pay for imports under the program, compared with a forecast budget for the current phase of $5.5 billion.
Of the revenue, 59 percent is used to purchase humanitarian supplies and oil equipment in government-controlled areas in central and southern Iraq and 13 percent for the northern Kurdish region, where goods are distributed by the UN. Another 25 percent is used to compensate Kuwait for war damages, and the remaining three percent covers the administrative costs of the program and of the UN commission monitoring Iraq's disarmament.
Iraq has sold 240.6 million barrels of crude in the current phase, the 10th since the program was set up in December 1996 to alleviate the impact of sanctions on ordinary Iraqis. Orders are outstanding for another 146.3 million barrels, including two new contracts approved by the independent oil overseers last week, the office said. — (AFP, United Nations)

Like many teachers, a part of my summertime has been devoted to standards and curriculum work, as I am serving on a state committee given the task of creating the first set of handwriting standards for Kansas. This project is right up my alley, as each semester I have the students in my language arts methods course debate the merits of handwriting versus keyboarding. I was hoping that this committee work might bring to light some new persuasive points for our class debates, while also helping me to clarify my own opinion on the handwriting versus keyboarding debate.
The committee work increased my awareness about three key concepts.
- The physical act of handwriting helps young children learn letter name, shape, and sound, thus building a foundation for reading.
- Knowledge of both manuscript and cursive styles facilitates children's creation of their own handwriting style, whether it be manuscript, cursive, or a manuscript-cursive hybrid.
- Fluent handwriting and keyboarding facilitate the flow of ideas during the writing process, thus giving a writer a positive feeling about writing.
My realization of these concepts grew from discussions during our committee work, but also from my reading of the Written Language Production Standards for Handwriting and Keyboarding (Grades K-8). These standards were created by a group of researchers and educators in 2012, seeking to better define the expectations for writing production, specifically focusing those skills not included in the Common Core State Standards. Based on handwriting and keyboarding research, these national standards map out the manuscript, cursive, and keyboarding skills to be taught across the grade levels. This detailed and sequential collection of skills provides guidance for teachers where little previously existed.
The Standards also provided guidance for me. Previously I had some knowledge about handwriting, but very little knowledge about keyboarding, viewing this as the purview of the technology facilitator, not the language arts teacher. I can see now that any tool that impacts the production of writing plays a role in the language arts class. The goal for both handwriting and keyboarding encompasses these three words: quick, smooth, and effortless. It's all about getting your ideas on paper or screen in the most effective and efficient way.
This realization for me, essentially nullifies the handwriting versus keyboarding debate. To be successful, our students must be adept at both. Their decision of when to use handwriting or keyboarding hinges on the context and purpose of their message – just like we choose between using texting, email, Facebook, or telephone when communicating with a friend or family member. If children are not proficient at both keyboarding and handwriting, we have essentially removed their option to choose, thus limiting their communication skills. Instead of deciding between one or the other, let's figure out how we can make time for instruction in both forms of written language production.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi there
Need some info ,,,,, are you saying that the passenger side turn signal is ON all the time ,,just flashing all the time , cant shut it off ???? or that when you turn it on , it will not turn itself off after you turn the steering wheel???
and the drivers side turn signal does not come on at all,, you turn it on and nothing happens ????
we can go back and forth on this page
Ok,,, this sounds like a ground problem ,, something does not have a ground and is feeding back through the right turn signal ... so
do you have any after market headlamp bulbs in this unit ???
if you turn on the headlamps,, do all the exterior lamps work ok ????
do you notice by useing something on the car , like turning on the headlamps,, or turning on the a/c blower ,,, that the turn signal on the dash that is on ,, will cahnge its state ... ????
With not much to go on ,, I would start at the headlamp bulbs ,,, and access them and check there connectors for melting ,,, this unit is known for this ,,unplug the bulb and check its connectors
check all four ,,, also the ground for the r/f turn signal and headlamp is right by the headlamp ,, its a wire that is bolted to the body
thats about all I can think of right now, there is no known problems like this through Ford
Sounds Good

On the ASX 24, the September share price index futures contract was three points higher at 4335 points with 19,465 contracts traded, according to preliminary calculations.
OptionsXpress market analyst Ben Le Brun said the Australian market had had a disappointing day as investors appeared reluctant to break through the 4,400-point level on the main indices.
"We may just be treading water in front of the Jackson Hole meeting, and also looking at the PBOC [People's Bank of China], wanting Premier Wen to follow through on some of his comments," Mr Le Brun said.

Market traders will be scrutinising Dr Bernanke's speech on August 31 for any indications that the Fed will undertake further measures to stimulate the US economy.
Chinese Premier
On the local sharemarket on Monday, troubled surfwear retailer Billabong edged forward one cent to $1.355 after it said it would close stores and cut some product lines as it seeks to bounce back from a $275.6 million loss.
Oil refiner Caltex Australia shed 22¢ to $15.27 despite reporting a 74 per cent rise in first half profit due to better margins from the refinery operations it plans to partially close.
Transport and logistics group Toll Holdings reversed 4¢to $4.51 as it said its priority in the current financial year would be to resolve problems in its business in Japan and its marine shipping operations in Asia.
Patties Foods, the maker of the Four'N Twenty meat pie, added 2.5¢ to $1.59 after it grew profits in 2011/12 even as shoppers cut back in tough trading conditions.
In the resources sector, Sundance Resources climbed 2.5 ¢, or 7.46 per cent, to 36¢ after it accepted a reduced takeover offer from China's Hanlong Mining.
Atlas Iron declined 5¢ to $1.605 after it said it expects the price of iron ore to increase over the next two months as China's demand for steel remains strong.
Preliminary national turnover was 1.5 billion securities worth $3.34 billion, with 448 stocks up, 449 down and 365 unchanged.
On Wall Street on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 100.51 points, or 0.77 per cent, at 13,157.51 points, boosted by new hints at stimulus from the Federal Reserve and more reports on the European Central Bank's possible bond buying.

How are you sure that it "never" indexed the documents in the start_url?
When you run htdig with an existing database, it will load all the URLs in
the database and check through them for changes. Typically, this is much
faster than an initial dig--if the server supports the If-Modified-Since:
header, many documents won't be sent over the connection and only modified
documents will be reindexed.
However, once it has updated the URLs, it will go through any new URLs
listed in the start_url. So I would be very much surprised if it "never"
got to the new URLs.

There are some treasure stories that are so well documented and have been investigated, examined and written about so much that we cannot do them justice on these pages. The Lost Dutchman is one of those. We hope to give you the story here and want you to know that there is a lot of information available on the web, in libraries and bookstores.
Before we begin, it is important to note that there are really two separate stories about very pure gold veins in the Superstition Mountains. Some accounts represent these both as the Dutchman's mine, some as two different stories. They are certainly intertwined. They may indeed be the same vein but we will treat them independently. The other tale can be found in the Arizona index as the Peralta Mine.
The "Dutchman" was actually a German named Jakob Walz. He was educated as a mining engineer in Heidelberg, worked in Prussia, Australia and California before moving onto Arizona in 1862. While working as a miner for a mining company, he fell in love with a beautiful Apache girl named Ken-tee. Many believe that he and other miners were smuggling gold out of the mine for themselves. The mine owners had the miner's homes searched and found hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold, but none on the Dutchman. It is thought that Ken-tee helped Walz hide the gold he smuggled out. In any case, he was fired.
Walz and Ken-tee settled in a small community near the Superstition Mountains. One day they left and returned weeks later with burros laden with gold. They made the arrangements to have to gold shipped to mint in San Francisco. Where this gold actually came from has never been proven.
Superstition Mountains
We need to briefly look at the Peralta story. In 1845, he found a rich gold vein in the Superstition Mountains. While leaving the area in 1848 with his gold being borne out on burros, the Apaches attacked. This was sacred ground that they felt had been defiled. The Peralta party was wiped out.
This brought up the other possibilities for the Dutchman's gold. Was it part of the gold that was scattered about still attached to Peralta's burros? Was it from the Peralta mine? Was it a new find? Or was it simply gathered from a stash of gold he had smuggled from his previous employer?
Walz never talked, but the Apaches believed that the secret they kept about the Peralta mine had been betrayed by Ken-tee. They raided the Walz's home and took Ken-tee. Walz and his neighbors pursued them and freed Ken-tee, but not before the Apache had cut out her tongue. She died in the Dutchman's arms.
Walz became a hard-drinking loner. He became famous as the man who knew the location of untold riches and too bitter to claim them.
Three years after Ken-tee's death, another German arrived in Phoenix. Walz had probably sent for Jacob Weiser. The two seemed to be close. Weiser was a carpenter by trade. He was outgoing and became a popular figure in Phoenix.
One day the two of the disappeared. This must have been difficult to do, because everyone was curious about the location of the Dutchman's gold and he was pretty regularly followed. They returned about a month later and sent off sacks full of gold to the mint in San Francisco.
Right away they set back out for the Superstition Mountains. They had gathered more gold and were camped on their return trip when the Apache attacked. Walz escaped with only the very little clothing he was sleeping in. Weiser got away also, but with an arrow through his upper arm and imbedded in his chest. He made it to a doctor but died by morning.
The Dutchman still went back on occasion to retrieve gold. He had eventually sent over $250,000 worth of gold to the San Francisco mint. Although he was never held for any murders, some of those that tried to follow him to his secret were never heard from again. It was considered unwise to get too close when he was going out.
At the time of his death in October of 1891, the Dutchman was a sad figure. He had lost everything in life he had valued except his gold. He even confessed to killing his own nephew. He had him brought over from Germany but then feared he would give away the location of the gold.
Julia Thomas, a kind black woman, had taken him in to her home and was caring for him. On his deathbed the left $15,000 and the treasure direction to her. She spent the rest of her life looking for the mine, but never found it. She died in poverty and passed her information onto Jim Bark, a rancher. Jim searched for 15 years, but found nothing. Some believe he left wrong instructions as a cruel joke. They say you can still hear him laughing in the thunder that echoes through the canyons.
He said the mine was in country "so rough that you could be right in the mine without seeing it." It was shaped like a funnel with the broad end at the top. The mine contained an eighteen-inch vein of rose quartz that was about 1/3 gold.
"The mine is near the hideout cave. One mile from the cave, there is a rock with a natural face looking east. To the south is Weaver's Needle. Follow the right of the canyons, but not far. The mine faces west… The mine can be found at the spot on which the shadow of the tip of Weaver's Needle rests at exactly four in the afternoon."

Well, it was just as I figured.
A lot of fluff that didn't even cover the 'living without' that most of us do.
I thought it was funny because in my pp I said it would be about giving up paper plates and eating leftovers, and Oprah took away the paper cups from her staff, and the lady with the 75 pairs of strappy sandals started brown bagging her lunch. Funny!
I would have loved to see a show where people REALLY take it to the minimun needed. That would be so interesting. I guess that's why I liked all those PBS documentaries like Frontier House.
I guess I should note that I missed the first half, but I think I got the general gist of it. No one was making their own laundry detergent or eating rice & beans.
I was disppointed too. These were not examples of doing without. It was more of a reduction in wastefullness for the families. It really takes an extended period of time to use up those things that most homes have excess of to begin to realize what doing without and living simple really means.
Yes, I suppose everyone has to start thinking about it from different levels. I guess I have never been where the featured families were to begin with so some of the changes they made seemed like they were just averaging out instead of making the whose step out of consumerism and wasteful ways of living. baby steps work for some people - others just jump in head first.
As for the intent of Ms. O...well, I look at it like this: if she can make even a few people rethink the way they live and how much they consume, then the show was well worth airing.
Like a PP mentioned, the seeds of change are being sown...and the crisis of our planet was not created overnight, nor will it be solved without time and consistent effort.
I couldn't believe how much food the first family wasted/threw away...I was ashamed FOR them.
I do appreciate Oprah's efforts to elevate public consciousness and glad she got people thinking about these issues--first with the Freegan show a few weeks ago (http://freegan.info/) and then this.
She is one of my sheros

BRANDON — Plant's new season was much awaited. But before long, all the Panthers wanted to do was forget.
Plant began the season 0-2 after back-to-back losses to Brandon and Plant City. After the second stumble, coach Dennis Braun gave his team new instructions.
"Coach Braun tells us to be forgetful," designated hitter Matt Vaka said. "We forgot about the two games, took it one day at a time. Even when something good happens, just be forgetful, take it day by day, pitch by pitch."
The Panthers rode that plan through a 12-game winning streak, culminating in a 4-0 win against Jefferson in Friday's Saladino Tournament championship game, for its first Saladino title since 2004.
The bats were hot for Plant (12-2) throughout the week. Tournament MVP Kyle Tucker went 7-for-17 including a winning home run against then-undefeated King. But Friday, when Plant had just four hits, right-hander Zach Rose's shutout brought the trophy home.
"This may be the hardest high school tournament in the nation," Braun said. "Fortunately, we're set up with a few guys that can throw."
Rose, usually a reliever, gave up three hits in seven innings in his first complete game this season. Jefferson's Justin Sainz gave up three of Plant's four hits in the first inning, and the Panthers took a 3-0 lead.
Plant scored once in the fourth as Ryan Ellis doubled then scored on an error. The more Plant widened the gap, Rose said, the more comfortable he became.
"When you've got a lead, it makes everything so much easier," he said. "You get out there on the mound, roll through these batters and get back in the dugout so our team can score more runs."
Just like Thursday, when they rallied past Strawberry Crest for their fourth straight Saladino final berth, the Dragons (9-5) were hitless through three innings.
For the second game in a row, first baseman Alejandro Martinez spoiled a no-hitter with a hit to right. But he became one of eight Dragons stranded.
Once Rose ended the game with a strikeout, the Panthers piled onto the mound to celebrate their first Saladino tournament win in a decade.
But once the Brandon High field cleared and the stands emptied, the Panthers planned to revert to their plan and forget.
"We wanted to win the Saladino, but our real goal is to win states at the end," Tucker said. "We've got to work to that."

|Descriptive Overview
|Provenance: Gift of Nancy Bollinger Adams, August 1, 1997.
|Citation: Friend Family Collection, Special Collections and Archives, Southeast Missouri State University
|Restrictions: None
|Historical Note
|The involvement of the pioneer Friend Family in Scott County, Missouri, dates back to 1796, when Captain Charles Friend, at age seventy-eight, and his family settled near Benton Missouri. He and his sons accumulated considerable property from the Spanish government.
|Charles Friends son John contracted with the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroads to build bridges and trestles. After he completed this agreement, he acted as foreman of the track-laying force until the road was completed in 1869 while managing the Friend Farm. The Farm was operated by the family from 1796 until 1998 when the land was given to Southeast Missouri State University.
|The Friend Family allied themselves with the Bollinger, Heise, and Heldermon families of Missouri in the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds. In 1880, Albert and Amelia (Heise) Heldermon married, and their daughter, Bertha, married Denver Bollinger in 1902. The Bollinger's son, Lynn, wedded Virginia Friend in 1928.
|These families preserved pictures, records, documents, and correspondence, which provide a better understanding of rural southeast Missouri families daily lives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
|Scope and Content
|The collection is primarily composed of photographs, business, personal and legal correspondence, bank and insurance records, land deed transfers, and religious records. The collection also contains an extensive compilation of early American postcards, various artifacts, and recorded family histories of the four allied families.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 31)
Israel election officials reported today that 22 party lists will compete for Parliamentary seats in the elections November 3. A new entrant will be the National Workers list, led by former Premier David Ben-Gurion in a Mapai Party-splitting challenge to the leadership of Premier Levi Eshkol, Rafi, the new party, expects to seek seven Parliamentary seats. It was announced that September 7 would be the deadline for filing election lists.
The first party to complete its Knesset list was the left-wing Mapam, an opposition party. Mapam set aside the recommendations of its appointment committee to give a "new look" to its Knesset list for a campaign in which, for the first time since the creation of Israel, Mapai's long dominance appears shaky.
Four of the first nine places on the Mapam list, considered certain of election, were given to new candidates. Mordecai Bentov and Israel Barzilai, two former Cabinet Ministers, were relegated to lower places on the Mapam list. The two top places on the list went to veteran leaders Meir Yaari and Yaakov Hazan. Victor Shemtov was placed third. New men on the list are Shlomo Rozen, Kibbutz Artzi secretary, Mapam political secretary Reuben Arzi, Nazareth's Deputy Mayor Abdul Aziz Zuabi, and Nathan Peled.
The Knesset elections this year are expected to be the most bitterly contested in Israel's history. The injection of the Ben-Gurion-Eshkol rift into the campaign is one prime factor. Another is the formation of a voting bloc by the right-wing Herut and the Liberal Party.
