The Raydale Park side came even closer on 58 minutes when Dean Douglas was very unfortunate to see his left-foot dipping volley bounce off the bar. They then hit the woodwork again, Douglas once more seeing his volley stay out, this time off the underside of the bar after connecting with trialist Sam Atkinson’s corner.
City were handed the chance to seal the points from the penalty spot with 17 minutes remaining after Guthrie was barged in the back inside the area. City captain Dougie Gair gladly accepted, stroking the ball in low to Parker’s left.
City boss Gary Jardine was pleased his team overcame any opening day jitters. “I’m pleased with the score,” he said. “To win 3-0 at this level, there won’t be many games like that.

A burglar begging a judge to send him to prison must be a rare sight in any court.
And in the case of housebreaker Kierran Batchelor, the reason was equally unusual – his 10am meetings with his probation officer were wrecking his sleep patterns.
The 21-year-old had originally been handed a suspended 40-week sentence and supervision order after he burgled two houses in February.
But weeks after walking free from court he was back before a judge after missing his daily meetings with his probation officer.
Batchelor told the judge he failed to attend the meetings because they were too early in the day – despite being at 10am.
Recorder David Herbert told Batchelor he was willing to give him a second chance when he appeared at Coventry Crown Court on Friday.
But astonishingly, Batchelor was jailed after he asked to be sent to prison so he could catch up on his sleep.
Grinning Batchelor, from Coventry, even thanked the judge as he was being led away.
He was originally sentenced on April 20 after committing two burglaries in Coventry in February.
As well as the suspended sentence he was given six months of drug rehabilitation and 18 months’ supervision.
He later tested positive for cannabis and failed to attend any appointments after May 18.
The 39 days Batchelor spent on remand in March and April will count towards his sentence.
On the No-Detention Policy introduced by UPA government in schools, she said a review is being carried out and "a decision will be taken soon".

The much-awaited new education policy will be announced before May 26 when the Narendra Modi government completes its two years in office, HRD Minister Smriti Irani said.
“The National Education Policy will be before the nation by May 26,” she said in response to a question at the IndiaTV conclave on the completion of two years of NDA government.
“Under the new education policy, NCERT will address all those challenges facing the education system,” she said, adding, it needs to address many issues as even students say they know more about Renaissance than about Maharana Pratap.
“No-Detention Policy has led to students being unable to cope in class 9. The state governments want it scrapped,” she said.
She said the government was taking a number of initiatives towards providing education to all and an endeavour ‘Swayam’ was being undertaken with the help of IITs, IIMs, central universities, NITs and some private universities to provide free online education to children for classes 9 to 12, including Board examinations.
“It will provide quality education online through a portal and mobile app in ten Indian languages for classes 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, including Board exams. It will start in the next two months and Indian students enrolled through it can get free education online and only money will be paid for giving exams,” she said. “This is a very big step in school education for the poor,” she said.
She also talked about MoUs being signed with MIT in the USA and Stanford University for improving syllabi in NITs, besides creating a separate cadre for teacher trainers.
Irani said the government has roped in H C Verma, a professor from from IIT Kanpur, to undertake training exercises at government schools in Uttar Pradesh to promote interest in science.
Irani said though allegations of saffronisation of education keep coming, the National Curriculum Framework, which was devised in 2005, has not been changed. “24 schools in Jammu and Kashmir had teachers but no students. We are monitoring schools in every state. We are also monitoring diet through a portal,” she said. The minister underlined the need to spread technical education, saying under government’s ‘Unnat Bharat Abhiyaan’, IITs, IIMs and central universities have adopted five villages in 90 districts across the country to boost education and technical know-how.
She also appealed to private institutes to emulate the government’s initiative.
TAMPA — The 2017 Giants did what they do best, what they specialize in, what they are now known for. The Giants show up, they play, they lose.
So it was again on a sultry Sunday afternoon, the fourth game of the season, loss No. 4 in hauntingly similar fashion to loss No. 3, on the road, at the very end, with a kicker nailing the field goal that sent the Giants packing after a slow start on offense, a brutal finish on defense and a whole bunch of not-good-enough stuff in between.
So, Buccaneers 25, Giants 23 after Nick Folk’s 34-yard field goal as time expired was quite a bit like last week’s Eagles 27, Giants 24 on another last-second kick. Then, it was a limp out of Lincoln Financial Field. Now, it was a stagger out of Raymond James Stadium. To where? Nowhere good, that is for darn sure.
Ben McAdoo, after 11-5 in his debut head coaching season, is 0-4 in his second.
Asked about the possibility of a playoff push, the decibel level in McAdoo’s voice rose.
“We need to win a damn game,’’ he barked.
There is some unappetizing slop being served up here as the Giants plunged to 0-4 in a season in which the playoffs were considered not only a realistic goal, but an expected goal.
On cue, they fell behind (13-0) early and took late leads of 17-16 on rookie Wayne Gallman’s 4-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter and 23-22 with 3:16 remaining on Eli Manning’s 2-yard scoring flip to Rhett Ellison. The Giants appeared to succeed on the two-point conversion, with Odell Beckham Jr. making the catch in the back of the end zone, which would have boosted the lead to three points. Beckham, though, had stepped out of the end zone and became the first player to touch the ball, a penalty that wiped out the conversion.
It was a costly miss.
Everything comes back to bite these Giants.
Protection of a one-point lead was the responsibility of a defense that hemorrhaged big plays all day. A busted coverage left rookie tight end O.J. Howard embarrassingly wide open on an uncontested 58-yard touchdown that put the Bucs up 13-0 in the first quarter. A Jameis Winston 14-yard TD pass to tight end Cameron Brate, with Casillas trailing the play and then falling down, put the Bucs ahead 22-17 with 7:44 to go.
Winston made quick work of the Giants on the game-winning drive — just as Carson Wentz did seven days earlier.
“As a defense once you get the lead you don’t want anyone to take it from you,’’ Apple said.
The Bucs took it without much resistance, with a 26-yard pass to Brate — who flat out beat safety Landon Collins — made the pressure kick a routine one for Folk, who struggled all game, missing an extra point and field-goals attempts of 46 and 49 yards.
This was an all-encompassing loss. Rookie kicker Aldrick Rosas was wide right on a 43-yard field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter that could have extended a 17-16 Giants lead. Brad Wing, for the second consecutive week, misfired on a punt, this time an unsightly 15-yarder that set the Bucs up, trailing by one point, on their 43-yard line. Brandon Marshall continues to drop passes, none bigger than the one on third down early in the fourth quarter that preceded Wing’s lame punt.
It added up to another loss and this grim reality: The only team to ever start a season 0-4 and make the playoffs was the 1992 Chargers.
“There’s a 1 percent chance you can play in the NFL, so anything is possible,’’ Beckham said.
“Odds were crazy at 0-3, but at 0-4 I guess the odds of making it are even more astronomical,’’ Pugh said.

Let’s talk about getting high.
Not me, personally — my hold on reality is tenuous enough without chemical alteration. I stopped smoking pot in college because it made me feel stupid, and I already felt plenty stupid without it.
As for you, do what you like. But please focus for a moment, as I am, on selling drugs. Without going to prison!
More and more states are legalizing marijuana for medical and even recreational use, and Canada is doing so effective Oct. 17. That is creating a booming young industry in North America. Arcview Market Research sees gazillions of dollars in future sales and enormous investment opportunities.
The Washington Post recently talked about marijuana competing with alcoholic beverages and eventually becoming the focus of what it called “inebriation dollars.” In Canada, the fight for inebriation Loonies is about to begin.
People seem to be getting rich on this already. Sadly, I’m the kind of guy who jumps into investments after the smart money has already gotten out. The good thing is that I recognize this. I’m about slow and steady contributions to my 401(k), which is why I will never be rich but may one day be comfortable. Still! A boy can dream, even hallucinate.
Here’s my brilliant idea: Why stop at pot? That’s just a gateway investment.
I’m not suggesting that we legalize opioids or amphetamines. They are so addictive and ruinous in their effects that it would be like — well, legalizing tobacco.
No, what I am suggesting is embarking on a new venture: hallucinogens.
There’s a growing interest in the medical uses of tiny amounts of hallucinogenic drugs — called “microdosing” — to deal with depression and a range of other problems. This month, researchers at Johns Hopkins published a paper that suggested that psilocybin, the magic in magic mushrooms, be legalized for pharmaceutical use. If weed is any guide, can legalization be far behind, first for medical use and then for fun?
This sounds like a new age of introspection, a dawning of enlightenment — or, as I see it, a promising market.
Again, I won’t be partaking and you might not, either. My own experiments were unpleasant. This was back in college; it was Austin; it was the ’70s and I make no excuses. Those experiences showed me that there are people for whom these drugs will always be a bad idea.
But some people might benefit. Shouldn’t it be our humanitarian goal to make money off them? If these drugs catch on, consumers might be taking a look at the use of their “travel dollars” for a different kind of trip altogether. Why not turn psychedelics into psychedollars, and rake them in?
In fact, I’m sure that somebody has already figured out how to combine psychedelic markets with blockchain, the enticing digital ledger technology, because the blockchain fans think that everything is better with blockchain, and blockchain will fix everything. In fact, these folks sometimes sound as if they are already heavy users of psychedelics.
This was promising, so I asked him about creating a public psychedelics market. Brilliant, I asked? Or merely perspicacious?
O.K., I’ve dealt with people who don’t share my visions before. Really, though, in this brave new world with all its stresses, shouldn’t we take this far-out idea farther still? Be bolder? Isn’t this what our society needs?
After watching the recent Supreme Court nomination hearings, could any of us be blamed for wanting some of Aldous Huxley’s Soma — the drug in his dystopian novel, “Brave New World” — to block out the stress and sit at our desks, humming softly, with faint smiles on our faces?
Despite my personal aversion to drugs, I might benefit from this stuff. My imaginary rabbit wants to argue about politics, and it’s getting stressful. Perhaps it is time for Soma.
Why stop at bliss when we could go to full-on blitzed? Better yet, restful slumber? Ottessa Moshfegh recently wrote a novel, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation,” about a woman who basically sleeps for a year. When I first heard of it, it sounded annoyingly absurd. Now it seems like something a lot of us would shell out plenty for.
I asked Mr. Fox about the potential market in oblivion. Though we were on the telephone, I sensed him backing away from me gently, graceful as a Michael Jackson moonwalk.
“I don’t really have any position on that,” he said, and seemed relieved when the call came to an end.
My genius, as so often happens, has gone unrecognized.
But I am looking forward to tasting the waters of Lethe, and enjoying sweet, rabbit-free sleep.
Just remember to wake me in time to vote in the midterm elections.
Long Beach City College (LBCC) has appointed its new director of the Superintendent-President’s Office: former California State University (CSU) Chancellor’s Office employee Miles J. Nevin.
Nevin will oversee and coordinate all administrative activities of the office, under the direction of LBCC Superintendent-President Eloy Oakley.
“Miles possesses years of experience in education, notably higher education, as well as a mindset of service to his community,” said Superintendent-President of Long Beach Community College District Eloy Oakley.
Previously, Nevin held the title of Executive Director of the California State Student Association at the CSU Chancellor’s Office, where he led the CSU Student Association (the nation’s largest statewide student association, representing 460,000 students attending 23 CSU campuses). In his position, Nevin liaised between the CSU management and students, as well as elected officials. He also spent two years as the CSU system’s director of student affairs.
Most recently, Nevin was appointed to the City of Long Beach Citizen Police Complain Commission by Mayor Robert Garcia, according to a release.
Nevin earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, as well as a Master of Public Administration from Cal State Long Beach (CSULB). He is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, which he began in 2014.
Nevin lives in Long Beach with his partner, Austin.

ONE in five maternity staff say they have come into contact with a patient they knew or suspected of having been trafficked, but most healthcare workers report little knowledge or training in how to identify or help victims.
A new study has found 13% of the NHS professionals asked reported previous contact with a patient they knew or suspected of having been trafficked, while among maternity services professionals this was 20%.
But 78% reported they had insufficient training to assist trafficked people and nearly all (95%) were unaware of the scale of human trafficking in the UK.
A United Nations report last year found the number of human trafficking victims identified in the UK had more than doubled since 2010.
It said there were 660 human trafficking victims identified in the UK in 2013, a 20% rise from 522 the previous year and more than twice the 297 identified in 2010.
Among victims identified in the UK in 2013 were 135 children, compared to 130 girls and boys identified the previous year and 80 in 2010.
The BMJ study said victims of human trafficking experienced high levels of abuse including physical, sexual and psychological violence, economic restrictions (such as confiscation of earnings or restriction of access to funds), and other controlling behaviours including confiscation of passport and other identity documents, along with threats to report the victim to immigration, police and child welfare authorities.
It said international law required the UK provided victims of human trafficking with necessary medical treatment, including psychological assistance, counselling and information, but stressed healthcare professionals should not contact the police or support organisations without first discussing it with the patient as doing so could put them in more danger.
“This study provides the first evidence that a substantial proportion of NHS professionals come into contact with patients they know or suspect had been trafficked,” the study authors said.
Though Pastafarianism was founded to critique organized religion, it’s now an organized movement.
This spring, the Infrastructure Ministry in Brandenburg, Germany, found itself litigating what counts as religion. The ministry typically concerns itself with worldly issues like road signage. But then the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) sought a road sign of the sort that local Catholic and Protestant churches receive from the German state.
The ensuing legal skirmish—a court ultimately sided with the Infrastructure Ministry, which argued that FSM wasn’t “a recognized religious community”—was the outgrowth of a different controversy more than a decade ago and 5,000 miles away. In 2005, the Kansas Board of Education voted to let public schools teach the creationist theory of intelligent design alongside evolution, arguing, among other things, that you couldn’t prove a supernatural being hadn’t given rise to life. A 24-year-old with a degree in physics named Bobby Henderson responded on his website that you also couldn’t prove a flying spaghetti monster hadn’t created the universe. Why not teach that theory as well?
The Kansas board reversed itself within two years, but the semi-parodic Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has outlasted the dispute, spreading via the internet to countries around the world. As FSM has taken root in Europe, where evolution is fairly uncontroversial, its purpose has shifted somewhat, with followers using it to test the relationship between Church and state in countries ranging from relatively secular France to heavily Catholic Poland.
There’s no official count of Church membership in Europe (or anywhere else), but “Pastafarian” Facebook pages from countries across the Continent have accumulated thousands of likes while, country by country, FSM members have waged and even won legal battles for the privileges enjoyed by other religions. Along the way, something funny has happened to a movement founded in large part to critique organized religion: It’s gotten organized, and has taken on both the trappings and some of the social functions of a real religion.
FSM has its own iconography (the deity features, in addition to spaghetti, two meatballs and a pair of eyes) as well as a Sabbath (Friday, because “our god was faster than the other gods, and he finished with the creation of Earth earlier”). The flagship German church, in Brandenburg, features a weekly mass modeled on the Catholic celebration, but with noodles and beer in place of bread and wine. FSM officiants even conduct weddings in several countries; this year, New Zealand became the first to legally recognize these marriages.
