| Plaza cam is back
The Plaza cam is back. Visitors to www.ArcataPlazaCam.com can now see live video of the northwest corner of the town square via a Web-enabled camera perched on the Plaza View Stay balcony at Ninth and H streets, according to a press release. A separate web camera existed on the south side of the Plaza for several years, operated by a Web site design and hosting company. Alex Stillman, an Arcata City Councilwoman, is sponsoring the new camera. It uses her private DSL for Internet access. "I figure it's for fun," she said. Stillman said she decided to put it up after her daughter in the Bay Area said she was checking on road and slope conditions via Web cams to decide whether to go skiing. That conversation reminded Stillman of the old Plaza cam. The new camera will be great to view festivals and to see how busy the plaza is, Stillman said.

Farah seeks loophole
WESTS Tigers' hooker Robbie Farah is considering flying halfway around the world for a game of football that could ruin his dream of playing State of Origin for NSW. The Tigers yesterday gave Farah permission to play for Lebanon this Wednesday in a World Cup qualifying match against Samoa in England. Should he play, he will be barred from turning out for Australia and NSW for two years. Farah was yesterday told of the controversial eligibility ruling moments after booking his flight to the UK. Farah last night said that he would travel to the UK in the hope that an exception can be made. "I found out yesterday that the Tigers would let me play,'' Farah said. "I messaged a few of the boys and told them I would be on the plane. "I was pretty happy, but then I was told about this rule.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- "There have been many announcements lately from companies claiming they have, or are, an "open" network. But try and use your applications or any third party widget or gadget on them.

Student council members will go around and collect the change from each classroom and place the money in a large container by the front office so students can see how much has been collected. This is not a contest, just a service project. The money goes to support children with leukemia and their families, as well as cancer research. This year's student council members are Jonathon Hyde, Morgan Dubreuil, Ryan Thammathay, Kelsey Ambrose, Olivia Bruek, Kevin Pham, Grant Smith, Breonna Harris, Alexis Larson and Manny Aguilar. Their teacher sponsors are Peggy Culver and Kim Jensen. The student council has already sponsored a plastic-bag recycling project and a food drive this year. Pleasant Hill

Dooley-Adams controversy reignites
To bring you up to date, Adams and Damon Evans brought to the athletic board and the UGA cabinet a proposal to name the area of South Campus that houses all the athletic facilities "the Vince Dooley Athletic Complex." At the southwest corner, where Pinecrest Drive intersects with South Lumpkin Street, they will construct a big garden, the centerpiece of which will be a giant bronze statue of Coach Dooley on the shoulders of Jeff Harper and Tim Morrison. Anyway, the Board of Regents still has to approve it but that will happen tomorrow (Wednesday). In the meantime, my assignment was to call around today and see how people close to Dooley felt about the gesture. In the course of doing that I was reminded of what a hot-button issue this thing is. Every once in a while you think the fervor over Adams' treatment of Dooley a few years back has died down and then something like this comes around and you find out it hasn't.
Easy WebContent Web Page Editing Service
It is a rare but unalloyed pleasure to try a product or service for which you have only modest expectations, and find yourself blown out of the water. Easy WebContent, an online service designed to take the fuss out of editing Web pages, is that good. In fact, this $9.95-per-month service is better than most stand-alone Web design applications I've used during my 13 years of building sites. Easy WebContent isn't designed to compete with an Adobe Dreamweaver-scale product; it's meant to help average mortals create and update Web pages. And in that market, it has no rival. Online services such as Homestead.com use template approaches that restrict what you can do with your site; Easy WebContent comes much closer than its template-oriented competitors to being a Web design application.
Bounceback players: Furcal leads the way
Basically, everything Lugo hit went right at someone, and that's the biggest reason why his batting average dropped to a career low .237. Look for a rebound to his normal .270-plus average this year with at least 30 steals. Lugo's not exactly Jose Reyes, but as long as he doesn't bat like Mario Mendoza again, he can help you. Nick Swisher, OF, White Sox I don't really know what happened to Swisher last year. After a 35-homer, 95-RBI and 106-run breakout in 2006, Swisher slumped to 22-84-78 last season. But maybe, just maybe, last year was the fluke. While Swisher's home run total took a nosedive, his extra-base total stayed nearly the same (71 in 2006, 69 in 2007). His walk rate also held steady, and he struck out 21 less times in 17 fewer at bats. With such a young guy having such an inexplicable decline, I'm willing to chalk it up as an aberration.

Sue says a researcher there gave her information on Morgellons Web sites. She went to the MRF Web site and found that she was experiencing every symptom listed - fibers, crawling sensations on the skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, joint pain and more. Now, she believed, she had a diagnosis. What she needed was a cure. The doctors may have dismissed her symptoms, but, unlike with so many others who say they have Morgellons, Sue's family believed her. When her Dino-Lite microscope broke from overuse, Tom bought her a new, more powerful Accu-Scope for Christmas. He took her to every doctor's appointment, even counseling her to slow down when she spoke because, when she tried to get everything out in the five minutes a doctor allotted her, she sounded nuts. "Honestly, I didn't know what to think about the fibers," Tom says.
