A: Aer Lingus shouldn’t have taken your seat from you. Fortunately, it apologized, refunded the money and offered a credit for a future flight. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a credit you could use. |
Dominique Miller, a senior at the Science Leadership Academy, edits a multi-camera shot in Final Cut software for Rough Cut Productions, the school’s videoproduction company. |
Devon Thomas spent the last year handling high-tech video and audio equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars while shooting video of conferences and renowned speakers, a responsibility that sometimes had her working from dawn until dusk. |
But Ms. Thomas is not a professional videographer. In fact, she is just graduating from high school this month after attending Philadelphia’s 485-student Science Leadership Academy, a public magnet school where the filmmaking instructor has launched a student-powered business providing video services to companies and t... |
Ms. Thomas and her peers have provided video for a variety of events, including 2010’s TEDxPhilly, a conference intended to spark discussion about various aspects of the city; EduCon, an education innovation conference hosted by the school; and the appearance by rock band 61 North at Maryland’s RamJam Music Festival. |
Rough Cut Productions is the brainchild of digital-filmmaking teacher Douglas Herman, who also teaches social studies at the high-tech high school. Over the years, the school has created a high-tech film program using donations, grants, and public and private funds. Mr. Herman got the idea for the company after the stu... |
He asked Roz Duffy, the organizer of TEDxPhilly, to take a chance on using his students to produce the video-heavy event instead of seeking out a private company, and she agreed. The principal of the Science Leadership Academy, Christopher Lehmann, was speaking at the event, and using the school’s students dovetailed w... |
Mr. Herman rented $500,000 worth of video equipment, and students did all the camera work, cutting back from one camera to another, using wide angles and zooming in—all with a student in the broadcast booth controlling what was seen on the live stream. |
People from all over the world watched the video stream shot by the students, says Ms. Duffy, who was pleased with the result and says she would work with the students again. In return for the students’ services, TEDxPhilly organizers paid for the equipment rental and made a small donation to the school toward the purc... |
Students edit in Final Cut software as their teacher Douglas Herman, top left, looks on during a class at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia. The school started a company last year that makes videos for corporate and individual clients. |
The students have also worked with musicians. Brian LaPann is the lead singer of 61 North, which is based in Philadelphia, and also happens to be Mr. Herman’s roommate. Mr. Herman persuaded him to use Rough Cut Productions to film the band’s performances on the public-radio program “Live at the World Cafe” and at the E... |
Now, Mr. Herman says, Rough Cut Productions is in “full flow.” The company is searching for new work and is slated to contribute a video piece for ISTE 2011, the annual conference of the Washington-based International Society for Technology in Education. The conference is being held in Philadelphia June 26-29. |
Students in Mr. Herman’s classes get an opportunity to, in effect, intern at Rough Cut Productions as freelance videographers. The teacher envisions that, in the future, the program could create a revenue stream for the school, raising money for more and better equipment. Rough Cut is also aiming to create a media hous... |
Now that students are having those experiences, however, Mr. Herman has to contend with an unexpected problem: Some students are graduating, going on to college, and feeling as if they’ve taken a step backward. The equipment and professional opportunities available in college are less than they were accustomed to in hi... |
Danielle Villa is one of those students. She’s now finishing her freshman year at Pace University, in New York City, but realized shortly after arriving on campus that the school’s film program wasn’t as strong as she would like. “I was using bigger cameras in high school, and I’m paying to go to college,” she said. |
Because of that disappointment, Ms. Villa says she is considering transferring to another college, but she would make sure that her next school has the technology she’s looking for. |
For Science Leadership Academy senior Ms. Thomas, making sure her college of choice had an emphasis on film was key. She’ll be heading to High Point University in High Point, N.C., to study communication and broadcasting or electronic media and journalism. She made sure High Point had the right equipment and opportunit... |
Mr. Herman says he’s now trying harder to guide graduating students seeking to build on what they learned in high school. And if Rough Cut Productions continues to attract new work, those students will also have the opportunity to return during vacations and breaks to work for the company and earn money, he says. He st... |
Ms. Thomas says her work with Rough Cut is likely to shape her future career and impress anyone she’ll ultimately work for. |
Someone recently brought a week-old kitten to Animal Friends Connection Humane Society that they had found in their driveway. |
The kitten, which appeared to have been set on fire, had major injuries and will have permanent deformities if it survives. |
We also had several other cats dumped at our facility and a puppy was abandoned behind our place. |
On May 16, a cold, heartless person threw two newborn kittens from a moving car on Cherokee Lane. They were in a thin cardboard box and thrown at the Humane Society's entrance. Both were thrown from the box and injured. |
People who do such horrific acts toward innocent animals also are capable of harming humans. |
We get 20 calls a day (especially during kitten season, which is now) from people wanting us to take their cats, kittens and dogs. |
Unfortunately, we can't take all homeless animals. We don't have the space, money or staff to care for them all. |
The largest facility that could be built never would be large enough to hold all the homeless pets. |
Instead, we must put our resources toward human education, responsible pet ownership and building low-cost spay and neuter clinics. |
It's the only way to end this tragedy. To help, call (209) 365-0535. |
I'm confused. While listening to the car radio, I learned the San Francisco Chronicle might be laying off as many as 100 employees because newspaper sales are down. |
One of the reasons cited was that people are reading news on the Internet more and more and depending on newspapers less. |
I log in each morning and check to see what's happened since the time The Record was published. I also check The Record Web site ocassionally during the day for its updates. |
In a note accompanying a letter to The Record on Saturday ("AIDS walk an event that deserves more attention"), I read that I should check reporter Sara Cardine's blog for a report on the AIDS walk. |
Is The Record telling me to look to the Internet for better or more complete news coverage? |
I feel sorry for those who have no access to the Internet, but will seriously consider looking to the Internet more and rely on The Record newspaper less. |
Maybe I should consider just going to the Web, since The Record's attitude seems to promote this. |
In case The Record runs out of downtown events to promote or marginally popular anti-social teen activities to warn us about, here's a suggestion for a relevant story. |
The average two-bedroom rental unit in Stockton goes for between $700 and $900 per month. |
The average job pays minimum wage (possibly supplemented by tips) and grants employees just under full-time hours. |
When one considers utilities, transportation and food expenses, it's difficult to imagine how run-of-the-mill Stockton residents are surviving. |
The Record could explore why rental costs sky-rocketed and wages stagnated, how average folks are coping, how city and county planners expect to address the issue, or any number of relevant questions that stem from these facts. |
Or it could just review the latest show at the Bob Hope Theatre. |
A Record letter writer recently suggested that the Virginia Tech tragedy wouldn't have happened if students were allowed to possess firearms. |
It postulated that Seung-Hui Cho was "confident that his victims would not return fire" (because they were unarmed). |
What a stupid assumption. Obviously, Cho wasn't afraid of dying. It's possible more people would have died if gun-toting students were shooting at each other. |
In such a chaotic situation the bloodshed could have been much greater. |
Cho might have been able to kill more people because anyone with a gun was a suspect. The police would have had difficulty unraveling the mess and Cho could have escaped. |
It's partially true that guns don't kill people, people do. Handguns just make it easier to kill more people in the shortest period of time. That appears to be their primary purpose. |
Cho wouldn't have been as deadly if he'd used a knife or a club. Attempting to prevent gunshot deaths by giving people the means to cause those deaths is ludicrous. |
It's like preventing an arsonist from starting a fire by giving him a book of matches. |
In the northeast corner of Coffey Park, near the court where the Tubbs Fire first began burning houses in Santa Rosa, Jeffrey Madura was hoping to find his wife’s wedding ring, looking through the ashes in a corner of his home’s foundation. |
National Guard military police allowed him through their checkpoint after he told them why he needed in. Madura, who lived in the home for more than 20 years, had earlier hung two large American flags from the remnants of the house and arrived with three sifters he built from plywood and mesh for himself and his neighb... |
“It looks like a war zone. It looks like pictures I’ve seen of Dresden from World War II,” said Madura, who described fleeing the home with only a few minutes’ warning from a neighbor who ran house to house pounding on doors to warn people of the approaching flames. |
“He basically saved everyone’s life here,” said Madura, owner of Jeffrey’s Hillside Cafe. He reopened the restaurant Wednesday to give his 18 employees a source of income while the community deals with the aftermath of the fire. |
Not far from Madura’s house, nearly two dozen search and rescue workers from the Marin and Alameda sheriff’s offices spread out to form a line in the desolation and search for bodies. |
Armed with shovels, rakes, GPS units and orange spray paint, they painstakingly walked a route north from the retaining wall of the subdivision looking for signs of bones. Gas lines are still leaking in some areas. The erratic winds that fueled the blaze early Monday left many homes completely destroyed, while others a... |
Fire officials are still marveling at the speed with which the blazes spread across the north state, especially in Sonoma County, where at least 22 people died. |
Cal Fire Capt. Amy Head said the blaze moved about 10 miles from near Calistoga to Santa Rosa in three hours. |
Santa Rosa Mayor Chris Coursey estimated that nearly 3,000 homes burned in his city. He flew over the devastation Monday to get a sense of the scope of the damage. |
At least 88 people remain missing in Sonoma County, Sheriff Rob Giordano said. |
But he acknowledged the possibility that some of the missing were killed in fires that consumed their homes and have not yet been discovered. |
So far, officials say 41 people died because of the fires that tore through the wine country, Mendocino County and the foothills of Yuba County, northeast of Sacramento, on Oct. 8. That number includes a contract worker who was killed Monday when the water truck he was driving near the Napa Valley community of Oakville... |
Firefighters continued making progress against the blazes Monday and said they were hopeful that a predicted shift in the weather – including the possibility of rain – will help. |
“We’re definitely looking for a change, and it looks like we’re going to get it finally,” said Mike Kochasic, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento. |
While the forecast could change, as much as an inch of rain could fall in the mountains Thursday, with a quarter- to a half-inch of rain falling over the wine country fire zones. |
Roughly 40,000 people remained evacuated Monday, as 11,000 firefighters continued their efforts against 14 large fires still burning that have scorched 213,000 acres and more than 5,700 structures. |
The blazes broke out late at night Oct. 8 across a wide swath of Northern California that was being swept with fierce winds. Separate fires devastated areas of Mendocino Napa and Yuba counties. In Mendocino County, officials said Monday that all evacuations have been lifted. |
Allman said the county now has eight confirmed dead, a revision from Saturday, when nine were believed killed. |
The deadliest of the fires was the Tubbs Fire, which killed 21 people and roared through Santa Rosa. |
The last house that appears to have burned in the city’s Coffey Park neighborhood belonged to Chris and Kim Bipes, who were sifting through the rubble Monday looking for his silver coin collection – more than 50 pounds worth of the pure metal that he began collecting as a bank worker at age 15. |
The couple had lived in the home for 23 years, and thought its metal roof might protect it. On Monday, the roof stood blackened and twisted and partially intact. Chris Bipes said he thought it may have helped firefighters who made a stand there halt the fire’s progress. |
His neighbor’s house and 12 others on Randon Way were saved after firefighters set up a line of defense at the Bipes home and used tools from their shed to dig a line. |
Neighbor Craig Lowry, who was allowed into the neighborhood because his house was intact, smuggled the couple past a checkpoint to help search for the coins. He said he wasn’t sure how he felt knowing his home was saved while theirs was destroyed. |
Before Coffey Park was turned into a subdivision, the area was a prune orchard. The original farmhouse sits just south of the neighborhood and dates to 1903. It survived the blaze. |
Owners Sue and David Sloat lost a two-story barn and guest house in the fire, and Dave Sloat was mourning the loss of his man cave and woodshop. But the couple was grateful. |
“I just keep reminding myself we are one of the lucky ones,” Sue Sloat said. |
Their feral cat, Kittyco, who was in the barn when the fire swept through, was found alive but with burned paws. |
Hearts and Inverness Caledonian Thistle get the 2019 Scottish Cup semi finals up and running on Saturday, 13 April. |
Craig Levein’s men are favourites due to their Premiership status with John Robertson’s highland side sitting fourth in the Championship. |
Hearts reached this stage after a welcoming run which saw they defeat Livingston and Auchinleck Talbot at Tynecastle before being drawn with Partick Thistle in the quarter final. A drew at Firhill meant a replay was in order with the team coming from behind to progress past the Jags. |
Inverness had a more tumultuous time getting to the semi-final. They required two chances to see off Edinburgh City and Highland rivals Ross County. Sandwiched between those ties was a comfortable 4-0 victory over East Kilbride. They defeated Dundee United at Tannadice in the quarter final. |
ICT have drawn 13 league games this campaign which has hampered their push at the top of the table but are well placed to finish in the end of season playoffs. |
It is the third time the clubs have met at the last-four stage in Scottish cup competitions. |
In consecutive seasons the teams faced each other in the League Cup final at Easter Road. In 2013 Hearts emerged victorious with a 5-4 win on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. They did so despite playing the whole of extra time with ten men. |
The following year Inverness got their revenge, this time winning on penalties after a 2-2 draw. It was made all the more special given the fact they played all of extra time with nine men. |
It is an early start with a 12.15 kick-off. The timing of the match angered Inverness chairman Graham Rae. |
How many tickets have been sold? |

This semi final be available on both BBC Scotland and Premier Sports 1. |
What time does coverage start? |
The build-up to the game will be five minutes on Premier Sports with the programme starting at 12.10. |
As of yet, there is no schedule available for BBC Scotland. |
The competition’s sponsors William Hill have Hearts as overwhelming favourites. |
