"Stupid is not my favorite word. It sounds mean and harsh and ugly. But after reading that according to Newsweek that 25% of employees visit porn sites from work, and that the adult video industry claims hits on porn sites are highest during the work day*, it was truly the only term that seems to fit this sort of human behavior. I don't have any overwhelming objections to pornography per se. But perusing it at work? That's stupid.
I use stupid under fairly constrained conditions. To me, a stupid act has a degree of willfulness about it and is serious. Making an error once is ignorance; making the same mistake multiple times is stupidity. Unfortunately, I see stupid acts and beliefs related to technology in schools all the time."

Rename a user - Google Apps Help
Rename a user - Google Apps Help:
"A Google Apps user has two names: a display name consisting of a first name and last name, and a user name that appears before the @ sign in his or her primary email address. You can change either or both of these names.
Changing a user's display name changes the way the name appears in the Gmail interface, for example in the contacts list and during auto-complete.
Changing a user's user name changes his or her primary email address, which Google Apps uses to identify the user. Google Apps uses the primary email address as the unique identifier for a user's account: it is the name the user enters to sign into Google Apps, to sync with his or her mobile device, and to share Google Docs and Sites.
If a user simply needs an alternative email address, consider creating an email alias for the user instead of changing his or her user name and primary email address. "

"Why Defining Authorship is Important
Including authorship information on your web articles helps search engines provide better search results to their users, but it also helps you get more of your content in front of people. Because as the verified author of a document, your article will have more credibility than an article without a verified author. "

Soaring school meal prices threaten to wreck 'Jamie effect' - News, Food & Drink - The Independent
Soaring school meal prices threaten to wreck 'Jamie effect' - News, Food & Drink - The Independent:
"The price of a school dinner has jumped 10 per cent this year, an Independent on Sunday investigation has found, sparking fears that the financial crisis and rampant food inflation could jeopardise the 'Jamie Oliver effect' of healthy eating for pupils.
A survey of more than 80 UK local education authorities has found that, after years of minimising rises in the cost of school meals, scores of town halls have been forced to impose increases of up to 16 per cent. The cost of a school dinner is now almost £2, with many parents having to pay an extra 50p a week to ensure their child gets a nutritious meal in the middle of the day."
