Education Guardian, Dec. 7th 2004, p.2-3
With university departments closing and fewer students taking the subject at A-level, chemistry is in turmoil. Now there are fears for the future of other sciences - and the long term of the economy.
M. Taylor and D. Macleod
The Guardian, Dec. 2nd 2004, p.2
The government has unveiled its plans to stop leading universities closing departments of 'strategic importance' following growing concern over a spate of cutbacks at some of England's most prestigious institutions. Speaking at the Education and Skills Select Committee, Mr Clarke said cabinet ministers had drawn up a list of subject areas including science and technology, vocational courses and east European studies which were to be protected.

Managers in higher education face increased student numbers and diminishing resources while at the same time having to ensure greater accountability, efficiency and continued excellence in teaching and research. This book offers practical advice and guidance on all aspects of the manager's role. Drawing on professional best practice and the examples of university innovators, it tackles all the key areas central to the job of managing in higher education, from understanding the culture of your university and role it plays, to providing effective leadership and managing change.
J. Blewitt and C. Cullingford (editors)
London: Earthscan, 2004
The links between education and sustainable development are deepening, although subject to controversy and debate. This volume analyses the impact of the concepts and practices of sustainability and sustainable development on various academic disciplines, institutional practices, fields of study and methods of enquiry. The contributors examine the purpose of the modern university and the nature of sustainable education, which links to social movements for sustainability, curriculum change, culture and biodiversity, global responsibility and case studies on the transformation, or otherwise, of some specific disciplines.
A. Blair
The Times, Dec. 28th 2004, p.26
Thousands more British students are applying to American universities as generous scholarships and top quality facilities compete with British institutions. With the introduction of top-up fees in 2006, the US Education Advisory Service says that inquiries from British students have risen sevenfold
R. Garner
The Independent, Dec. 30th 2004, p.15
The vast majority of universities are planning to charge the maximum £3,000 a year top-up fee for three-year degree, according to a survey conducted by the newspaper. The numbers expected to charge the maximum are way above the estimate made by ministers. Only one out of 50 English universities surveyed is to charge a lower sum - Leeds Metropolitan University which is opting for £2,000 across the board.
M. Green
Financial Times, Dec. 21st 2004, p.2
Donations to universities by private individuals and companies are to be matched with public investment of up to £7.5m over the next three years as the government struggles to encourage more diverse funding for education. The government announced the matched funding scheme "to help English institutions build their capacity to raise income".
M. Taylor
The Guardian, Dec. 20th 2004, p.4
Several universities including Newcastle, Exeter and Cambridge have announced plans to scrap courses and departments in an attempt to balance the books. Exeter University could face a legal challenge if its ruling council decides to press ahead and scrap its chemistry and music departments.
M. Taylor
The Guardian, Dec. 20th 2004, p.4
Universities could raise millions of pounds in extra revenue from the private sector if they introduced US-style fundraising techniques, according to a report by the Sutton Trust. The report calls on ministers to match private donations to encourage alumni and big donors to hand over money to universities. The call comes at a time of increasing financial strain in higher education.
A. Blair
The Times, Dec. 30th 2004, p.27
Students from England may flood Welsh universities in a move that could cost Wales hundreds of millions of pounds unless it introduces top-up fees. The National Assembly for Wales has pledged not to introduce variable tuition fees until 2007 at the earliest.

Gallouët Publishes on Marriage, Law
Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2014
Professor of French and Francophone Studies Catherine Gallouët has published on marriage and the law in 18th century fiction. Her essay titled, "Mariage légitimité et différences du roman aux chroniques sur Haïti," (Marriage, legitimacy and difference from the novel to chronicles on Haiti) is a chapter in the book, "Le mariage et la loi dans la fiction narrative avant 1800," (Marriage and Law in Narrative Fiction before 1800), published by Peeters in Louvain, Belgium. This chapter is part of a wider project on the cultural representations of the non-Europeans in the French 18th century.
The essay shows how the "happy end" that is marriage in narrative fiction is only possible for culturally legitimate characters, thus excluding foreign origins, unworthy social position or racial difference. Before the French Revolution, when citizenship was being redefined, this trend in fiction points to the exclusion of the non-European, non-white and the poor from legitimate citizenship.
A member of the HWS staff since 1986, Gallouët received her doctorate and master's from Rutgers University, her B.A. cum laude from Hope and her Bacalauréat, with honors, from Académie de Grenoble. She was the initiator of HWS's French study abroad programs. She is chair of the French and Francophone Studies department and the recipient of the 2014-'15 John R. & Florence B. Kinghorn Global Fellowship.

Policy Studies, vol.25, 2004, p.209-225
Article assesses the impact of the National Minimum Wage on small firms in the British service industry sector. Drawing on a combination of survey and interview data, the study examines how firms' pay and training practices have been affected by the introduction of the National Minimum Wage and subsequent changes in the level at which it is set. Study found little interest in paying the reduced "development rate" wage, particularly to adult workers. Employers who were aware of the existence of development rates, believed that offering them would make staff recruitment and retention more difficult, and were also reluctant to provide accredited training. Main strategies for offsetting the increased costs caused by minimum wage implementation included price increases, staff reduction, and reducing hours of work.

"The following was reported in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
It's a dangerous job. Along with checking hunting licenses, responding to nuisance deer complaints and disposing of road kill, wildlife conservation officers with the Pennsylvania Game Commission serve arrest warrants, confront armed trespassers and disarm wildlife poachers, sometimes while alone at night on remote country roads.
"That's what Wildlife Conservation Officer David L. Grove was doing about 10:30 p.m. Thursday in a rural part of southcentral Pennsylvania when he was shot and killed by a suspected poacher. He was the first Game Commission official killed in the line of duty in 95 years.
"Mr. Grove, 31, of Fairfield, Adams County, was responding to reports of gunfire and suspected wildlife poaching on Shrivers Road in Freedom Township, near Gettysburg, according to the Pennsylvania State Police and The Associated Press.
"...Police apprehended the suspect at (an nearby hunting) the camp Friday morning. He had an apparent gunshot wound of the side, the AP reported. ... The suspect, identified by police as Christopher Lynn Johnson, 27, of Gettysburg, faces charges including murder and fleeing apprehension as well as weapons and game offenses. Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner said he would likely seek the death penalty."

What have we here?
A prison escape? The scene from a battleground? An episode of Survivor?
Nope, just an event that "looks like a lot of fun," according to those who will be attempting it for the first time.
The Warrior Dash will be invading the E.A. Cummings Center in Mt. Morris next Saturday and Sunday. A field of 24,912 participants will go off in waves of up to 600 runners each, making it the largest race ever in the Flint area.
Runners will encounter nine challenging obstacles on a 3.3-mile course.
"Warrior Dash gives people the opportunity to express their inner warrior," said Alex Yount, media relations spokesman for Red Frog Events, which puts on the race. "It's the freedom to let loose, dress up in costumes, eat a turkey leg, get muddy and have a beer that makes you fall in love with Warrior Dash."
The Warrior Dash presents the kind of mass insanity and unpredictability that will shake many runners from the comfort zone of the routine five-kilometer road race.
"This should be a little different, shouldn't it?" said Flushing's Kathy Snyder, who has been winning Flint-area road races since the 1980s. "It sounds like fun to get dirty, climb over things, see what I can do. I'm thinking it's not going to feel much like running."
The Warrior Dash appears to play to the young adult male demographic, but is attracting a wide cross-section of the population.
Snyder is 47 and has never done a trail race in about 25 years of running. Shelly Lynch of Flint is 45 and, likewise, has done all of her racing on pavement. Men and women much older than them will be attempting this type of challenge for the first time.
Brian Collie of Lapeer is a 49-year-old senior consultant for HealthPlus, but offers this disclaimer: "I haven't grown up. I'm not acting my age, I'm acting my shoe size when it comes to this."Muddy Buddy, two years ago in Shelby Township. The Muddy Buddy involves teams of two alternating biking and running along challenging obstacle courses that feature — of course — plenty of mud.
Lynch was unable to participate after shattering her collarbone while taking a class on "safe" mountain biking, so doing the Warrior Dash will fill that void — minus the biking.
"I'm always looking for new and creative ways to hurt myself," Lynch said. "I missed out on (the Muddy Buddy), so when this one came around, it sounded like a lot of fun and different."
Although the primary means of transportation in the Warrior Dash is running, it's an event that appeals to people who don't consider themselves runners.
Snyder said she heard about the event from her yoga instructor, who doesn't run much.
Jay Rosebrough of Grand Blanc said he has persuaded some of his friends who aren't runners to join him for the Warrior Dash.
"I can get some of my friends who think I'm crazy for running to come out there," Rosebrough said. "Running the Warrior Dash was an opportunity to get some of my friends interested. It isn't just the running, there's actually things to do in there. It's supposed to be more of a party atmosphere. It gets people involved."
Addie May, who will be a freshman at Flushing High School this fall, is a fast runner who is usually focused on her times. The clock will be irrelevant to her this weekend as she traverses the obstacles at Warrior Dash with her sister, Erin.
"We're not really doing it to race," May said. "We're just doing it for fun. There's really no point to race if you're just going to roll around in the mud."

Memories and moments were shared by Jenise's family, remembering her kindness, humor and loving heart.
With a sparkle in her eyes and a smile brighter than the sunshine, Jenise touched the hearts of everyone she knew, family members said.
"Jenise was a bright star in our life," Jenise's sister said.
The loss of Jenise's life and innocence rocked the community. Many at the memorial did not know Jenise, but say their hearts and resources go out to the Wright family.
Jenise Wright was found murdered on August 6, several days after she disappeared from her Bremerton-area home.
Gabriel Gaeta, 17, has been charged with first-degree murder with aggravating circumstances, felony murder and first-degree rape of a child.
Jenise was last seen when she went to bed on the night of Aug. 2. Her parents waited a day before calling for help because they say the girl had wandered around the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park on her own in the past.
By the end of the service, at least 300 gathered to honor Jenise.
Inside the church, all who showed signed a banner for the Wright family in remembrance of their 6-year-old daughter.

posted in Press releases
Available today in Apple AppStore and Google Play
Boston, MA – August 1, 2012 – ownCloud Inc., the commercial entity behind the popular open source file sync and share project, today announced the availability of iOS and Android apps specifically designed for ownCloud.
With more than 500,000 users world-wide, ownCloud offers the ease-of-use of Dropbox, with more flexibility and security that can only be provided by software installed on site. ownCloud customers can host their own file sync and share services on their own hardware and storage, use popular public hosting and storage offerings, or both. ownCloud seamlessly integrates into an existing environment, leveraging security and rights-management tools, policies, and procedures, allowing IT managers to control corporate data, while giving end users the easy-to-use tool they crave.
The new mobile apps enable end users to securely log into an ownCloud instance, browse files and folders, and then download, open, update and upload files as needed. Photos and video can also be set to be uploaded automatically.
"These new apps give end users anytime, anywhere access to the files they need to get the job done," said Matt Richards, vice president, Products, ownCloud. "In conjunction with the ownCloud server and desktop clients, users now have the ability to access the files they need wherever they are, on the device they have available. IT now has the control over the data they need to meet regulatory requirements, live up to corporate policies, and secure corporate information."
Users can use these apps to access an existing ownCloud server, whether on their own server, on a corporate server, or in the cloud. ownCloud – built through an active open source community – has innovative features like file versioning – which actively saves files, allowing users to "rollback" to previous versions – and an API that gives developers an easy, stable and supported way to develop applications on top of ownCloud capabilities. ownCloud also enables the usage of existing file servers and home directories.
Availability and Pricing
The ownCloud mobile apps are available in Google Play, and the Apple App Store for 99 cents.
About the ownCloud Community
ownCloud began at a KDE community event in 2010, aiming to bring greater flexibility, access and security to data in the cloud. ownCloud enables universal access to files through the widely implemented WebDAV standard, providing a platform to easily view and sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks across devices while supporting sharing, viewing and editing via the web interface. Installation has minimal server requirements, doesn't need special permissions and is quick. ownCloud is extendable via a simple, powerful API for applications. For more information, please visit: http://www.owncloud.org.
About ownCloud Inc.
Based on the popular ownCloud open source community project, ownCloud Inc. was founded in 2011 to bring greater flexibility, access and security to unstructured data in enterprises. Company headquarters are in Boston, with European headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany. For more information, visit: http://www.owncloud.com.

Just thought I would let you know that it appears to be $99 in the Google Play store, not 0.99c
I am relatively new to my Android device, will purchasing the ownCloud app include updates via Google Play?
I'm in Aussie.
Here is a partial screenshot
Great! The app looks really nice! I have already bought it.
My only question is: features like contact syncing and calendar syncing, are they going to be added at some point? pictures? music?
Thanks! Antonio
Would it be possible to buy the apps without using the Google MarketPlace ?
I purchased the app for Android and installed ownclowd behind a port forward including ssl on port 443 on a dyn. dns domain. The app doesn't seem to recognize there's a secure connection. It uses port 80, which I also forwarded. If I don't it doesn't connect. Is there anything special I need to do?
Hi Holger,
Thanks for your reply. I was referring to the Android version. The app looks really nice, although (IMHO) features like contacts/calendar sync integrated with the new owncloud app would be a big improvement.
Is there a roadmap available, which features will be implemented in the future of the owncloud app?
Are there any plans to synchronize contacts and calendars over DAV protocol as well?
You are doing a really great job, many thanks!!!
Hello, About android app, it will be possible by somehow, the ownCloud app sync automatic when wifi connection is on, and not do it when 3g is on? Thank you.
A nice feature would be sync only over WiFi like it is on DropBox.
Would it come soon?
Just set OwnCloud up on my site. Works great, no problems. Using iPhone 4, latest software update, bought the app today, but it won't let me login. I read some reviews in the app store, and it seems I'm not the only one with this same issue.
Connection is established, username and password are correct, but the error message is this…"Error. Unexpected response from server"
I can login fine from my PC, and also from iOS Safari. Is there a fix, or workaround I can do to get this fixed?
Warum kann man in der iOS-App bestehende Konten nicht bearbeiten (z.B. URL ändern) und muss immer eine neue anlegen? Recht nervig und der sofortige Verbindungscheck auch, weil er die ganz App blockiert.
Hi ! I am searching for the owncloud IOS API. If you know how to get the API , could you please let me know ? Thanks !

Hakuna Matata indeed! Although Disney's behemoth Broadway musical The Lion King has shown no signs of wavering since its debut in 1997, the smash hit is about to conquer a musical theater milestone, becoming the first Broadway musical to top $1 billion in cumulative grosses.
EW has confirmed that the colorful crowd pleaser – based on Disney's beloved 1994 animated feature – will hit 10 figures after the week of performances ending Oct. 20. Coincidentally, the spectacular box office feat (the first of any Broadway show) comes almost exactly 16 years to the day since The Lion King roared onto Broadway with its first preview performance on Oct. 15, 1997.
The news that The Lion King is the first show to bank $1 billion on Broadway may come as a surprise to fans of Broadway's longest-running blockbuster The Phantom of the Opera, which has been playing the Majestic Theatre since opening in 1988 but hasn't hit the billion-dollar mark just yet. Phantom has grossed around $5.6 billion worldwide, though, holding its own against Lion's $5 billion international take.
Another fun fact: In just a few weeks, The Lion King is on track to overtake Les Misérables as the fourth longest-running Broadway show in history. By then, there'll be even more cause to celebrate – and then the bug juice can really start flowing.

Hot white women in Native American headdresses: not cool.
Two weeks after No Doubt apologized for and pulled a video from YouTube that featured singer Gwen Stefani gyrating in a feathered headband amid other cowboys-and-Indians tropes, Victoria's Secret says its annual televised fashion show won't include footage of model Karlie Kloss wearing leopard-print lingerie paired with a squash-blossom necklace, a fringed, turquoise-studded belt, fringed high heels and a full-length Native American headdress.
Native American groups complained about the headdress, saying it is meant to be worn only by chiefs and warriors who have earned respect through an act of bravery or compassion, the Associated Press reports. (And no, Kloss in her unmentionables does not qualify as a compassionate act.)
"We have gone through the atrocities to survive and ensure our way of life continues," Navajo Nation spokesman Erny Zah tells the Associated Press. "Any mockery, whether it's Halloween, Victoria's Secret — they are spitting on us. They are spitting on our culture, and it's upsetting."

When he proposes nothing but a continuation of the same approach, citing only insufficient time as an excuse, what is it that his followers see in his methods that lends them any credence? No previous recession has ever lasted this long, nor had unemployment more than 8 percent been previously sustained more than three years.
Why is it that so many likely voters cannot see the folly in Obama's reckless increase in the federal deficit (nearly $6 trillion in four years) with no credible plan to curtail it? His lame solution is to raise taxes on the "rich" – those who create the lion's share of American jobs, and already pay most of the income taxes. The debt is now more than $16 trillion – some $52,000 for every man, woman and child in America!
Why can't we see the precarious path we are following, like Pied Piper-Obama's rats to the end of the fiscal pier, soon to be swallowed up in the swamp of socialism in the manner of Greece, et al.? Who among us are blind enough not to see that our national survival is at stake in this election? It's high time for a turnaround!

The Certified Public Manager (CPM) Program is a nationally-recognized training and development program with the primary goal to develop public sector and public-serving managers who meet a prescribed set of professional standards.
Successful managers require certain skills, attitudes, and behaviors. Modern management, in theory and practice, is a dynamic relationship between tasks, process, and stewardship. It reflects the relatively new belief that long-term productivity and effectiveness require careful attention to human, fiscal, and technical resources, with a specific responsibility for outcomes.
The CPM program's intent is to guide public managers to incorporate state-of-the-art theory (the academic side) into their management behaviors through practical training (the applied side). The Institute for Public Service and the National CPM Consortium are working to professionalize the practice of public management, in much the same way that other associations organize to professionalize their occupations.

While the SEC has won the last six BCS National Championships, many believe that if there is any team in the country that can snap that streak, it is this year's USC Trojans team. There is talent all across the board with this team, as it returns 17 starters from last season, including nine on the offensive side of the ball.
While depth in certain areas may concern many Trojans fans, there are a lot more reasons to believe that this team will compete for a title this season.
With less than two months away from kickoff, here are a few reasons this year will be kind to your USC Trojans team.

Bond cost set, now it's public's turn | Valley school growth plan
Voters, sharpen your pencils. The Snoqualmie Valley School District needs your answer to a $216 million question: Is the proposed bond the right bond for the district?
A proposed bond now being considered by the board would:
• Build a sixth elementary school, and possibly a centralized preschool on Snoqualmie Ridge;
• Remodel most of Mount Si High School to a 2,100-student capacity; and
• Fund more than $20 million in maintenance projects, including roof replacements at North Bend, Snoqualmie and Fall City Elementaries and part of MSHS, new boilers at SES and MSHS, and a new expanded septic system at FCE.
It would also cost $215,535,000, for an estimated levy rate of $2.24 per $1,000 of assessed value. The amount is within the district's reach, says district director of business services, Ryan Stokes, citing financial advisor D.A. Davidson's assessment.
"We don't reach our debt capacity with this," Stokes said.
The sale of the bonds would not happen all at once, but could be spread out over several years of the eight-year remodel.
Now, voters also have to decide whether it's in their debt capacity. Combined with the district's existing debt service and current levies for operations and technology, the new tax rate is estimated to be $6.52 to $6.60 per thousand—not the highest school levy rate in King County, but in the top five.
According to the proposal-vetting timeline, the district planned to seek public input on the bond through a series of meetings in the coming week, but the meetings will actually be scheduled over the next few weeks, to ensure participation. Voters will be asked about this bond's chances for success, and the school board will use that input to fine-tune the proposal.
The next stop on the timeline, was Nov. 21 a decision point. This date will likely amove to December, when the board will try to answer the question, is the proposed bond the right bond? If the answer is yes, the district will then embark on a major voter education and information campaign, leading up to the April 22 ballot.
It's not clear what will happen if the answer is no, however. All three levels of students, elementary, middle and high, are projected to have significant capacity needs in the near future, according to enrollment projections from demographer Les Kendrick. By 2018, when the proposed bond would have a sixth elementary school built and phase 1 of the high school done, enrollment is estimated to be over 3,150 elementary, 1,640 middle school and 1,960 high school students.
By Thursday of this week, the district should have information available on when the public meetings will be scheduled. Check the school district website, www.svsd410.org, for the latest information.

It's the economy, stupid! And that means big sales.
While my sympathies go out to those who earn their living selling anything but gasoline these days, there remains a voice within that says, "That's a screaming good deal!"
Check out the sidewalk sale Friday-Sunday in the Nob Hill neighborhood. Old Portlanders nicknamed the area Snob Hill because of the upscale houses in the Northwest hills and, most likely, because all they had to do was add an S.
Despite the nickname, Nob Hill -- also known as Alphabet Hood for the orderly street names -- has many adorable stores that carry easy budget items including Three Monkeys, Ipnosi and Sloan.Look for great deals along Northwest 23rd & 21st Avenues and the Uptown shopping center and all the streets in between. Blush Beauty Bar offers one hour free parking at 23rd & Glisan near the shop at 513 N.W. 23rd Avenue when you spend $40.
Mall rats can think of it as Washington Square with the top down.

Auburn junior linebacker Tray Blackmon will miss the rest of the season after doctors decided he should undergo surgery on his injured wrist.
Blackmon met with orthopedist Dr. James Andrews Wednesday after struggling to play with a large cast on his wrist. Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said Andrews recommended surgery, which will probably take place next week in Birmingham.
A native of LaGrange, Ga., Blackmon has been plagued by injuries throughout his Auburn career. Coaches expected him to be one of the leaders on defense this year, but sophomore Josh Bynes has taken most of the snaps at middle linebacker.

I agree, but I think that if you take the langauage knowledge of the "low" 50% of C++ programmers (for example) is more than the same group in Perl. This is again because the fact that scripting langauages are used more often to solve small problems (and that is what people mean when they say "script"), so you don't need to know too much. Additionally (but very similar) is the fact that usually Perl is not the main langauage programmers use. They use Perl to automate small tasks, to write more complicated scripts than shells, and as a general aid to do the main task (.. That is written in C, C++, Java etc.) Yossi -- Shlomo Yona yona at cs.technion.ac.il http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il/~yona/ _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list Perl at perl.org.il http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl

JONESVILLE, MI – Kathy Lehman was hoping for a fast start out of her team Thursday in the Class C regional finals.
Her team did not let her down.
The Yellow Jackets jumped out to early leads in the first two sets against Grass Lake at Jonesville High School. The result was a 25-17, 25-18, 25-17 victory for Concord and a Class C regional championship.
The early leads set the tone for the entire match.
"I think that it builds confidence, and when you get out and don't have to play from behind, you can take some bigger swings," Lehman said. "Lots of time, we do get a little bit behind, so it's kind of nice to get out early."

But it's the last warm day for awhile. Temperatures are expected to plummet Thursday night, with snow likely on Black Friday and temperatures Friday afternoon dropping to around 35 degrees.
Until then, the warmth continues. The temperature at the Muskegon County Airport only fell to 50 degrees Thursday morning, according to hourly readings posted by the National Weather Service. The sky after sunrise was mostly fair but hazy.
Expect a south wind of 18 to 24 mph and a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.
The odds of rain rise as the day wears on, reaching 50 percent in the evening, mainly between 7 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday, the weather service predicts. Winds also will pick up, with a south-southwest wind of 22 to 25 mph becoming west-northwest after midnight and gusts as high as 33 mph. Temperatures will drop to about 37 during a cloudy night.
Friday will see scattered rain and snow showers before 10 a.m., then snow showers likely. Skies will be mostly cloudy, with the temperature dipping to around 35 by 3 p.m. Breezy conditions will continue, with sustained winds 25 to 28 mph and gusts as high as 38 mph. An accumulation of less than one inch of new snow is possible.
Until then, have a warm and happy Thanksgiving!

Tony Carr MBE helped celebrate the achievements of young Bangladeshi footballers on Tuesday, as he joined West Ham United Academy coach, Anwar Uddin at the 17th annual Bangladesh Football Association Awards. Born in Bow, the Club's Academy director retains close ties with the local community and was only too glad to present awards at Stepney's Troxy Hall, in front of some 600 people gathered to applaud outstanding BFA schemes.
Carr, who recently marked 40 unbroken years at the Club, has unearthed many a star in his exceptional tenure at the Boleyn Ground, including Uddin, still the only player of Bangladeshi origin to play in the Football League. That said, Carr is confident of others following in Uddin's footsteps. He told whufc.com: "The likes of Anwar had a good football education with us and he definitely won't be the last Bangladeshi footballer to make the grade. "It's just a matter of time and my advice is simple - keep practising, keep working hard and you never know who's watching."Uddin, who signed professional forms with the Hammers at the turn of the Millennium, went on to play in the Football League for Bristol Rovers, Dagenham & Redbridge and Barnet, winning promotion twice during his time with the Daggers.He was also part of West Ham's FA Youth Cup winning team in 1999 and is now teaching the next generation of Hammers as a part-time coach with the Academy, working with the Foundation Phase (Under-8s to Under-12s).
Uddin hands out awards at Stepney's Troxy Hall on Tuesday
A patron of the BFA and head of the Sporting Bengal Academy, the 31-year-old insists nothing would give him greater satisfaction than to bring through Asian youngsters who cut it at the very top.
"The Premier League is very competitive and players compete within a global market," he explained. "I see no reason why we can't have a crop of young Asians making the grade in the Championship, League One, League Two, and even Non-League football.
"Nothing would make me prouder than to play a hand in delivering a crop of ready-made footballers to mainstream football." The Club and West Ham United Community Sports Trust are committed to developing engagement with the local Asian community, having already established a triangular strategic partnership with the Stifford Centre, (a Bengali and Asian community hub in Stepney), and the Bangladeshi FA UK.

I just adopted a Golden Retriever puppy, does anyone have any puppy training suggestions?
or better yet, visit with her. She's the best in this area. I would let her train your new pup. You won't be disappointed.
I find the NGC tv show, "The Dog Whisperer" to be very useful. I call it "common sense" training for people since I totally agree with his philosophy that most Americans "humanize" their dogs WAY too much.
I also think the NO. 1 thing that most new dog/puppy owners DON'T do is start training right away!
The internet is full of useful dog training websites. Just type in what you're looking for.
And remember... EXERCISE...DISIPLINE....AFFECTION. In that order!
Enjoy your new pup, and have fun!
Consistency in training is the key to a successful relationship between you and your dog. Positive reinforcement is overwhelmingly THE MOST successful training method with dogs, especially PUPPIES! Each trainer does it differently and the method I use is personalized and promotes a goal of both RESPECT and BONDING while having fun in the process! Remember, what you do now sets the dog and your relationship on it's future path!

AmyVA I commend you for realizing training is the key to enjoying your future relationship with your new puppy!
I highly recommend Abby Bird (AlphaDog), a professional trainer who is very reasonable in her rates and gentle to your pet. We hate to see dogs kicked and jerked around by trainers - or by anybody for that matter. You will see immediate and positive results with Abby.
Her trainees greet her with delight so you know they enjoy the experience. Everybody likes having a feeling of accomplishment and dogs are no exception. They love praise and reward. Give Abby a call - I am sure you will not regret it.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The city's parking system is considering whether to put digital counters on signs outside downtown parking ramps.
The idea: Help motorists see at a glance how many parking spaces are available in the ramps. A rough cost estimate: $107,000.
Would it be worth it?
"That's the question," said Mitch Schutter, the city's parking facility supervisor. "It does take a lot of guesswork out (of searching for a parking spot)."
A concept that Schutter presented Thursday, Dec. 12, to the Grand Rapids Parking Commission estimates it would cost $81,000 to add LED components to 13 signs outside eight downtown parking ramps. It also could cost upward of $20,000 to connect the signs to the ramps' access control system that counts spaces.
Commissioners were supportive of the idea and want city staff to do more research on the size of the signs and compliance with city zoning requirements. Also at issue is whether LED counters would generate a return on investment to justify the cost.
"Yeah, it's a great idea to have counters," said Kevin Denhof, commission chairman. "As a downtown driver, I'd appreciate that. But how do you measure the success of that?"
• Free parking in Grand Rapids ramps set to return for holidays
• Rate hike on hold again for Grand Rapids parking ramps, and one lot's price will plunge

Zimbabwe is to introduce a bank-note worth Z$100bn in response to rampant inflation - but the note will barely cover the cost of a loaf of bread reports the BBC.
Simply awful. It is horrible that the entire world is unable to put an end to this madness. I am not sure whether Samantha Power even remotely considered such a nightmarish scenario unfolding, the way Mugabe is creating this atrocious mess, when she wrote about the ten ways to kill a country.

With Kobe Bryant asking to be traded, you can bet there will be a ton of teams that will, at the very least, gauge whether the Lakers will seriously consider letting him go.
The Pistons won't touch something like this in the playoffs, knowing any such deal would have to include at least one of their core players (the most likely being Rip Hamilton). And the last thing they want in a dog-fight of a playoff series, is players worrying about whether they'll be traded this summer or not.
Still, the fact that arguably the best player in the game wants a new home, is the kind of opportunity that rarely comes along.
That's why I expect Detroit, like most teams, to monitor the developments of this drama closely.
My gut tells me that Kobe's not going anywhere, and the Lakers will (once again) bend over backwards to do whatever they have to do to keep him happy.
The first step will be to bring Jerry West aboard as a consultant. The next would be to upgrade that roster, which as it stands now, won't make the playoffs next season.
If those two things happen in the next few months, Kobe won't be going anywhere. But if Kupchak and company continue to shuffle their feet on his demands, Kobe will only get louder and louder to the point where the Lakers will be forced to move him. And when teams know that you're desperate to get rid of a guy, they'll lowball you -- even for a player as talented as Kobe.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Who believes Macho?
The double-murder case against Michael Norris could come down to whether the jury believes witness Manuel "Macho" Rosado is honest or lying to save himself.
The Kent County Circuit Court jury has listened to testimony for nearly two weeks. The prosecution argues Michael Norris shot five people, killing two and wounding three, in two separate incidents on Labor Day 2012.
In closing arguments Wednesday, Feb. 19, Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Kellee Koncki said Rosado's version of events was key to cracking a case that was going cold months after the fatal Burton Heights shooting spree.
On Tuesday, Rosado told the jury he and the defendant intended to rob three men as they exited a party store near Burton Street and South Division Avenue when Norris suddenly opened fire killing two.

Koncki said a Grand Rapids Police detective gathered a mountain of collaborating evidence including cell phone records that show Norris was near the scene at the time of the shooting and testimony from friends and family who said the defendant confessed to shooting three people and ditching a gun.
"If Macho was all we had, I would expect you to find (Norris) not guilty," Koncki said.
However, until Rosado gave up Norris by name and provided police with cell phone records, she said, the case could not have moved forward.
Koncki said that is why Rosado, an admitted gang member and robber, got a deal that turned a potential life in prison without parole offense into one year in the county jail.
"That's the deal with the devil we made," Koncki said. "Macho is just as guilty under the law as the defendant."
For defense attorney Christopher Dennie, that deal is the problem.
"It's all based on bought and paid-for testimony," Dennie said. "When your currency is freedom, you can't negotiate for the truth because truth is not what you're getting."
Dennie said many key witnesses of the more than 20 who testified received plea deals and said whatever the prosecution wanted to hear.
"If we were buying testimony, it'd be a lot better than this," Koncki said referring to the varying descriptions of events and suspects during seven days of testimony.
None of the surviving victims were able to identify their shooter.
Norris is charged with the murder of Felix Romeo Reyes-Santos, 45, and Alvaro Carrillo-Menendez, 22, outside Rau's Party Store, 2025 S. Division Ave.
Norris also is charged with shooting Cesar Rojas and Ariel Vasquez near Griggs Street SW and Buchanan Avenue shortly after the first shooting.
In court Wednesday, Koncki said the men shot to death outside the party store were the perfect victims. The victims were likely not in the country legally and would not have gone to police if they had been robbed.
"There's no family here for these young men, but they mattered," Koncki said. "They didn't matter to (Norris), but they mattered."
Norris is charged with two counts of felony murder, two counts of attempted murder, felonious assault, and four counts of felony use of a firearm.
If he is found guilty as charged, Norris faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Arranged to exchange at a store. At store I was presented with another damaged one. They went and got another one and upon inspection it had glue stuck on the glass,which I cleaned off in front of the customer service lady and decided to take home. Then after taking off all the packaging I could see chipped edges!! I am hoping the one I have now reserved at a different store can be replaced with a perfect one. This is 2 out of 3 different style mirrors I have purchased and sadly been disappointed with the standard of manufacture and running around to locate a perfect one! Inspect before you buy and fingers crossed for home delivery. If PERFECT a beautiful mirror.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S consumer prices barely rose last month, the latest sign that slow economic growth is keeping inflation tame.
The consumer price index increased just 0.1 percent in August, the Labor Department said Tuesday, after a 0.2 percent increase in July. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, core prices also rose just 0.1 percent.
In the past 12 months, prices have risen 1.5 percent. That's down from the 2 percent year-over-year gain in July and below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent inflation target. Core prices are 1.8 percent higher than a year ago, the largest 12-month gain since March.
The increase in core prices could help persuade the Fed to start pulling back on its low interest rate policies. But significantly lower inflation would pressure the Fed to keep stimulating the economy.
Most economists expect that the Fed will begin to reduce its bond buying by about $10 billion on Wednesday, according to a survey by The Associated Press. The bond purchases are intended to lower longer-term interest rates and encourage more borrowing and spending. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke first signaled in late May that the Fed could begin slowing its purchases before the end of the year.
On Tuesday, many economists stuck with that predicting after seeing the report on consumer prices.
"We don't think this will prevent the Fed from tapering ... the danger of very low core inflation has passed," Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, said in an email to clients.
A small amount of inflation can be good for the economy, because it encourages consumers and businesses to spend and invest before prices rise further.
The economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, up from just 1.1 percent in the first three months of the year. But since then, consumer spending has been modest and businesses have spent less on big-ticket items such as industrial machinery and computers.
