ITWebMaster - Member Folders
The 'Member Folders' section will allow you to communicate more effectively with specific roles in your club.
For example: You can create pages for team officials. When a team official logs into the members area, they can view that all the pages assigned to team officials. Anyone that logs into the members area can view information based on roles (team official, team player, volunteer, etc). Therefore, if you create a page for team officials, then when a team player logs in, they will not have access to any of the team official pages.
You can communicate in 2 areas:
1) Through the members area home page.
2) Through the specific role pages.
Members Area Home Page
To create the members area home page, login to ITWebMaster, and click on "Add Member Folder". Then click on "add page" next to the "Member Area Home Page" folder.
If a home page is already created for the members area, you can edit the page, clicking on the '+' next to the "Member Area Home Page" folder, and then clicking "edit" next to your page.
Specific Role Pages
To create specific role pages, login to ITWebMaster, and click on "Member Folders". Then click on the "add new member folder" link. Now you can create a folder to store the pages for a specific role, and then choose which roles you want to have access to this folder.
To add pages to this folder, click "add page" next to the folder you just created. All pages that are added to this folder will only be available to the roles you gave access when you created the folder.

This article discusses the harmful effects from swallowing or breathing in mineral spirits.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
The poisonous ingredients in mineral spirits are hydrocarbons, which are substances that contain only hydrogen and carbon. Examples are benzene and methane.
Where Found
- Mineral spirits (
Stoddard solvent)
- Some paints
- Some floor and furniture waxes and polishes
- Some dry cleaning fluids
- White spirits
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
- Airways and lungs
- Breathing difficulty (from inhalation)
- Throat swelling (may also cause breathing difficulty)
- Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Severe pain in the throat
- Severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips, or tongue
- Vision loss
- Gastrointestinal
- Abdominal pain — severe
- Blood stools
- Burns of the esophagus (food pipe)
- Vomiting, possibly bloody
- Heart and blood
- Collapse
- Low blood pressure — develops rapidly
- Rapid heartbeat
- Nervous system
- Burning sensations
- Convulsions
- Dizziness
- Loss of alertness
- Memory problems
- Nervousness
- Numbness in arms and legs
- Skin
- Burns
- Irritation
- Necrosis (holes) in the skin or underlying tissues
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- The patient's age, weight, and condition
- The name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- The time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Breathing tube
- Bronchoscopy — camera down the throat to see burns in the airways and lungs
- Endoscopy — camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids through a vein (IV)
- Oxygen
- Surgical removal of burned skin (skin debridement)
- Washing of the skin (irrigation) — perhaps every few hours for several days
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. The ultimate outcome depends on the extent of this damage. Damage can continue to occur for several weeks after the poison was swallowed. Death may occur as long as a month after the poison was swallowed.

I found it!
A quick recap for new readers: Shortly before my great-grandfather was born (in North Carolina), his father left to find a job in Virginia — and was never seen again. Paw carried a tin-type picture of his father, Thomas S. Maness, and searched for him all his life. I am the fourth generation trying to solve this mystery.
We think Thomas S. is Thomas "Swain" of Moore County, N.C. I was so disappointed when a Y-DNA (male) comparison between my uncle and a man who reputedly shared ancestors with Swain turned up negative. Descriptions of both men are so close, we weren't ready to give up. Now that autosomal DNA can compare women and men, I wanted to compare the DNA of my uncle with Swain's granddaughter, Mrs. Lessie — one last try!
Mrs. Lessie agreed, but then I lost the key to my safe deposit box containing money for the expensive test. My uncle offered to pay to get a new key. Before we went to the bank, I decided to search one more time. I found it! Yay! Where? In one of the places I had already looked. Go figure.
I cashed my savings bond and called Ms. Lessie. I had to remind her again who I was. I verified her address, logged in to my FamilyTree DNA account, and ordered the tests!
At nearly $600, this is a big gamble. But if it solves our 137-year-old family mystery, it'll be worth every penny.
Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost." Mark 15:8-9

Help your child avoid common athletic risks and injuries by taking a few basic precautions — and tuning out the pressures.
Playing sports is a big part of growing up and going to school for many children. But the pursuit of victory in any activity carries with it risks and responsibilities.
Managing the risks to a child's health and safety is a duty shared by coaches, parents, and the student-athletes themselves. That's why it's important that everyone is clear on what those risks and responsibilities are. The issue extends to school-sponsored sports and athletics, and to recreational activities.
Parents should be aware of the training and competitive practices in each area, notes Joel Brenner, M.D., FAAP, lead author of the new AAP clinical report, "Overuse Injuries, Overtraining, and Burnout in Child and Adolescent Athletes." "But non-school recreational sports tend to have fewer guidelines and rules," he says. "Often there are no athletic trainers involved, so parents need to be especially proactive in making sure proper practices are followed."
Along with the obvious concerns over sports-related injuries, there are three general risks that parents of young athletes should be aware of: overuse injuries, overtraining, and burnout.
Overuse is by far the most common type of sports injury, accounting for as many as half of the total in the United States. An overuse injury is damage to bones, muscles, or tendons that results from the body being worked too hard. This type of injury causes stress to these tissues that takes time to heal.
But too often competitive pressures, practice and game schedules, and a sense of duty to the team compel many young athletes to ignore or deny symptoms of overuse injuries. Failing to allow these to heal only adds further stress to the painful areas, risking long-term damage.
Also, the "no pain, no gain" and "play through the pain" approach to ignoring the aches and pains of sports can discourage the healing process. A young person's body is still growing. Bones simply cannot tolerate the high levels of stress common to competitive sports if healing isn't allowed to happen. In more severe cases, continuing to exercise the overuse-injured area can have serious long-term health effects.
Parents should be alert to these common symptoms of overuse injury:
The drive to succeed — along with the sheer joy many youngsters feel as a result of developing their sports talents — can lead to long hours of practice. That can reach the point of overtraining, and, eventually, overuse injuries.
The best way for parents to address this problem before it occurs is to stay on top of their child's training schedule. Pay attention to the amount of time, energy, and interest the child applies to training for his or her sport.
Some good rules of thumb for keeping training in line include:
Enthusiasm is just as vital as physical skills in keeping children healthy during athletic seasons. Yet the very things that make sports participation so rewarding can also become overwhelming. When that happens, your child can lose interest in the sport that once gave so much pleasure. This is called burnout.
"Families need to be open in their communications about athletics," Brenner says. "Parents should understand what the child's goals are — and make sure the activity is driven by the child's, not the parents', goals."
On a day-to-day level, burnout can produce moodiness, a loss of interest that spreads to other activities, such as academics, and a drop in performance in the sport. But there are physical consequences to burnout as well. These can include:
The rewards — and lessons — of sports participation are a vital part of growing up for many students. The National Sporting Goods Association reports that every year, more than 45 million children and adolescents take to the fields, tracks, pools, and gym floors.
Many kids dream of athletic glory beyond their present level. But it's crucial that they understand that less than 1 percent of student athletes reach the professional leagues. Taking on more than the body can handle can put a premature end to the fun of sports.

Pregnancy after miscarriage can be stressful and confusing. When is the best time to get pregnant? What are the odds of miscarrying again? Get the facts about pregnancy after miscarriage.
Thinking about pregnancy after miscarriage? You might be feeling anxious or confused about what caused your miscarriage and when to conceive again. Here's help understanding pregnancy after miscarriage, and the steps you can take to promote a healthy pregnancy.
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. Many miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. Problems with the baby's chromosomes are responsible for about 50 percent of early pregnancy loss. Most of these chromosome problems occur by chance as the embryo divides and grows — not because of problems inherited from the parents. Sometimes a health condition, such as poorly controlled diabetes or a uterine problem, might lead to miscarriage. Often, however, the cause of miscarriage isn't known.
About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. The total number of actual miscarriages is probably higher because many women miscarry before they even know that they're pregnant.
Miscarriage is usually a one-time occurrence. Most women who miscarry go on to have healthy pregnancies after miscarriage. A small number of women — 1 percent — will have two or more miscarriages.
The predicted risk of miscarriage in a future pregnancy remains about 14 percent after one miscarriage. After two miscarriages the risk of another miscarriage increases to about 26 percent, and after three miscarriages the risk of another miscarriage is about 28 percent.
If you experience two or more consecutive miscarriages, talk with your health care provider about whether further testing is needed to identify any underlying causes before attempting to get pregnant again. For example:
Procedures can be done to detect uterine problems. For example:
If the cause of your miscarriages can't be identified, don't lose hope. Most women who experience repeated miscarriages are likely to eventually have healthy pregnancies.
Miscarriage can cause intense feelings of loss. You and your partner might also experience anger, sadness or guilt. Don't rush the grieving process.
Typically, sex is not recommended for two weeks after a miscarriage to prevent an infection. Talk to your health care provider about any recommendations or restrictions. Your period will likely return within six weeks; however, it's possible to become pregnant if you have sex before your period returns.
Once you feel ready for pregnancy after miscarriage, ask your health care provider for guidance. Also, consider these guidelines if you've had:
Often, there's nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage. However, making healthy lifestyle choices before conception and during pregnancy is important for you and your baby. Take a daily prenatal vitamin or folic acid supplement, ideally beginning a few months before conception. Maintain a healthy weight and limit caffeine. Avoid alcohol, smoking and illegal drugs.
If you've had multiple miscarriages, future pregnancies need to be carefully planned and monitored. Consult your health care provider before conceiving again and see him or her as soon as you think you might be pregnant.
Once you become pregnant again after miscarriage, you'll likely feel joyful — as well as anxious and scared. You might be hesitant to share your good news until later in your pregnancy. Feelings of grief over your loss also might return after you give birth. This is normal.
Talk about your feelings and allow yourself to experience them fully. Turn to your partner, family and friends for comfort. If you're having trouble coping, consult your health care provider or a counselor for extra support.

Government bailouts violate the American philosophy of capitalism
Dear Editor, Most Americans are puzzled about the trillion dollar bailout of major banks, and the uncertainty that is looming in the future as a result. This debt created by greed and corruption, will be inevitably borne on the backs of responsible Americans who live within their means and budget according to their income.

Confidentiality is an essential tool, which enables the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to reach out to people affected by insecurity, violence and armed conflict. It allows the ICRC to build trust, communicate and influence change. But what happens if confidentiality is broken? An interview with the ICRC's deputy director of operations, Dominik Stillhart.
The ICRC is known – and sometimes criticized – for its confidential approach to dealing with sensitive issues, such as its work in places of detention and its efforts to ensure that the lives and dignity of civilians and other non-combatants are respected. Critics argue that the organization is too secretive and should share its findings publicly, especially when it comes to conditions of detention and treatment of prisoners. Proponents maintain that discreet dialogue is key to protecting and assisting those affected by conflict.
The ICRC firmly believes that confidentiality is an essential tool, which enables it to reach out and maintain access to people affected by insecurity, violence and armed conflict. Confidentiality is what allows the ICRC to build trust, open channels of communication and influence change. But, as the ICRC's deputy director of operations, Dominik Stillhart, explains, confidentiality must be respected in order to be effective.
Why does the ICRC refuse to share its findings with the public?
Our main focus is on improving conditions for people affected by conflict and hostilities, regardless of who they are. We do speak out on some issues and we also offer assessments of the humanitarian situation in conflict-affected countries around the world, but when it comes to addressing possible violations of international humanitarian law, it's very important that we are able to do this primarily in a confidential manner.
For example, we might write a news release about the overall rights of detainees or the humanitarian impact of insecurity and displacement, but we will not speak publicly about individual allegations of abuse or specific violations of international humanitarian law.
In this type of situation – when our delegates observe cases of abuse, need or neglect – they take up their concerns directly with the authorities or other parties to the conflict on the ground. This can mean a range of people – from prison guards and military commanders to rebel leaders and armed opposition fighters. Our aim is to have a confidential dialogue with those who have the power to improve the situation.
The ICRC also works in a lot of places and contexts where outside scrutiny and criticism are often unwelcome. Confidentiality is the key that enables the ICRC to open doors that would otherwise remain shut, giving us access to people in need and places that many other organizations cannot reach.
Wouldn't it be more effective to expose abuses publicly?
Confidentiality does not equal complacency. Just because we don't speak out publicly on some issues, doesn't mean that we are silent. The ICRC is quite tenacious when it comes to following up on allegations of abuse, and we're ready to take our concerns all the way to the top if necessary, including heads of state or government, in order to put a stop to it.
The ICRC regularly reminds those involved in conflicts of their obligations under international humanitarian law. From insisting on the need to spare civilians during military operations to facilitating the release of hostages by armed opposition groups, we work very hard to keep up a dialogue with all sides to any given conflict.
This is far from easy, and improvements don't always come about as quickly or smoothly as we, or the victims of abuse, would like them to, but it's a tried and tested approach that enables us to help those affected by armed conflicts.
The ICRC does not share confidential information with the media or other third parties, nor does it consent to the publication of such information, because there is always a risk that our observations could be exploited for political gain or instrumentalized by one side or another.
The ICRC opts for a behind-the-scenes approach because this has helped us achieve results on many occasions. However, we know that this is not the only effective method of tackling abuses of international humanitarian law.
Would you ever consider waiving your confidentiality rules?
Discretion can have its limits, and the ICRC reserves the right to speak out, publish our findings or stop our work in exceptional cases. For example, if a detaining authority issues excerpts from one of our confidential reports – without our consent – we reserve the right to publish the entire report in order to prevent any inaccurate or incomplete interpretations of our observations and recommendations.
Similarly, if, after repeated requests, prisoners continue to be mistreated or if we are prevented from working according to our recognised operating procedures, we may suspend detainee visits or our operations and publicly explain the reasons.
If it's clear that our confidential approach isn't working – for example, because a government or rebel group simply refuses to take our concerns seriously, and that we've exhausted all other avenues of discourse, we can and will take action by expressing our concerns publicly. The decision to speak out is never taken lightly but it's important to remember that confidentiality is not unconditional.
What do you mean by "operating procedures"?
To ensure that our analysis is as complete and unbiased as possible, the ICRC follows a set of rules when visiting detainees, regardless of the circumstances.
ICRC delegates must be able to speak in total privacy with every detainee held. This is important because our confidentiality isn't limited to the authorities. If a detainee gives us permission to talk about his or her concerns with the authorities we will do so… but never without the detainee's consent.
As part of the rules, our delegates must also be able to inspect all cells and other facilities. Visits must be allowed to take place as often as the ICRC requests and for as long as people are held in detention. In addition, all detainees must have the opportunity to write to their families using the Red Cross message system and to receive Red Cross messages from their loved ones.
Another important element of our criteria is that ICRC delegates are allowed to conduct confidential discussions with the camp authorities before and after each visit to raise concerns and make recommendations where appropriate.
The ICRC also individually registers the identities of detainees, which makes it easier to monitor what happens to them and prevent disappearances.
Each year, we visit more than half a million detainees in around 75 countries. These standard criteria apply in all of the places where we visit prisoners. If restrictions are put on this way of working, we sometimes have no choice but to suspend our work until these rules are once again respected.
What happens if your reports are made public?
It's the people we are trying to help who may suffer most when our confidential findings wind up in the public domain.
If this happens, the authorities could stop us from visiting certain people or places, making it impossible for us to help them. It can take a very long time to build back trust and regain access.
In the meantime, it's the people who look to the ICRC for protection and assistance, including detainees, displaced groups and families torn apart by war, who bear the brunt of our absence.
What about lawyers and judges – can they read your reports?
If the ICRC marks a report as confidential, it means that it is intended only for the authorities or parties to the conflict to whom it is addressed. We object to any sharing or publication of this information without our consent.
The ICRC knows that it is a privilege and a responsibility to bear witness to what happens during times of war and conflict, and we understand why courts might want to use our findings as evidence or ask us to testify.
However, this could endanger those people, who have placed their trust in us by telling us about their often very painful experiences. If that information becomes public, they – and perhaps even their families – could face punishment or retribution.
When documents are leaked, it can also jeopardize our ability to continue working in a particular country or context, and compromise the safety of our colleagues.
This is why the ICRC has developed a long-standing practice of confidentiality. As a result, states cannot ask the ICRC to testify or serve as a witness before their domestic courts. This testimonial immunity has been confirmed by a number of domestic and international tribunals, such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal for
More than 80 countries have also specifically recognised this immunity by treaties or legislation. In addition, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence for the International Criminal Court (ICC) stipulate that the "ICRC retains the final say on the release of its information". No other organizations were granted this privilege and the ICRC feels that its testimonial immunity underscores the importance of confidentiality as the cornerstone of our work.
Are you personally convinced that you can make a difference by working this way?
I know we can because I've seen it happen many times. Sometimes we manage to influence one situation more than another, and it can be a slow process. Our delegates know that even if progress doesn't happen right away, sometimes it's simply enough to "be there".
You can see it in the eyes of a prisoner sitting in his cell. You can see it on the face of a mother trying to feed her children in the midst of war. When there is very little hope to cling to, just knowing someone cares can make a difference.
What I know for sure is that trust isn't built overnight. It requires time, dedication and persistence to establish a constructive dialogue with people who don't often like to hear what we have to say. But more often than not, they do listen and I see this as reason to believe that confidentiality will continue to stand the test of time.

Although the American Revolution ended in 1783, economic hardship and armed revolt in Massachusetts in 1786-87 kept local authorities alert for more trouble. Sergeant David Sexton ordered Consider Dickinson to muster at one o'clock on July 18, 1788, with a working gun, ramrod, bayonet and cartridge box.

A modular tooling system for multi-spindle automatics is available, including the latest models for Davenport machines. Besides being more rigid than dovetail form tools, the modular system allows for much faster tool changes, the company says. This system consists of a modular insert holder assembly and a cross-slide holder assembly, offered in both up-cut and down-cut versions.
The modular insert holder assembly consists of an insert, anvil and insert clamp. It mounts into mating serrations on the cross-slide holder assembly and is locked in place by a drawbar. A common wrench can turn the drawbar.
The tools also incorporate fine-tune adjustments for taper, center line, diameter and lateral movement. These added features give operators and setup technicians more control over finish part dimensions, the company says.

That is almost too beautiful to drink but it looks so good, I'd have to drink it. Great shot for the theme.
I am starting to wonder about myself because I never remember these repeat themes. As I always do when you or someone else mentions a repeat theme and I don't remember it as a repeat, I search my blog to see if I participated in that one. I always have participated but had no recollection of it. Oh well, I guess it's just as well that they are all new to me even when I've done them in the past.
Happy Weekend!

text: I'm making an animated submenu with javascript. and everything is working fine so far. But as i'm still learning, I can not find the solution for displaying the submenu. my code is like this: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('.nsub').hide(); // hide sub-navigation items by default $('.nitem a').live('mouseover , mouseout', function(e){ e.preventDefault() $(this).parent().next('.nsub').slideToggle('slow'); if($(this).parent().next('.nsub').is(':hidden')) { $(this).addClass("CurrentlySelected"); } else { $(this).removeClass("CurrentlySelected"); } }); }); </script> the "nsub" stands for the submenu, and the "nitem" for a menu button. as you can see in the code, the submenu pops open when i move the mouse over a menubutton. but immediately dissapears when I move the cursor away. what I want is, that the submenu stay's visible ofcourse while i'm navigating in the menu. But I want it to dissapear when I clicked a button, OR move my cursor away from the menu. Also only 1 submenu should be open at a time (I have more than one button with a submenu) I hope this is all clear, and I hope someone can help me fast. thank you!!

Marlins' second-rounder in 2009 released after positive test
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | August 9, 2012 2:40 PM
One day after four Dominican Summer Leaguers received 50-game bans, the Commissioner's Office announced that Marlins righty Matt Milroy, Pirates lefty Zack Dodson and free agent right-hander Bryan Berglund had been suspended following their violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Eight players have been suspended this week, bringing the 2012 total to 65.
Milroy, 21, was suspended for 50 games without pay after testing positive for Methylhexeanamine after going 2-3 with a 4.11 ERA in nine outings with the Marlins' Class A Short-Season affiliate at Jamestown.
The Illinois product was drafted in the 11th round by Miami in June after going 2-6 with a 3.88 ERA and leading his college team with 65 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings primarily out of the bullpen in 2012.
Dodson, a fourth-round pick in 2009, was suspended for 50 games without pay after a second violation for a drug of abuse. The left-hander went 6-6 with a 4.86 ERA in 21 starts for Class A West Virginia this season after spending time at three levels in 2011.
Their suspensions are effective immediately.
Berglund was also suspended for Methylhexeanamine, and his ban will be effective upon his signing with another Major League organization.
The 21-year-old, who also pitched at Jamestown this season, was the Marlins' second-round pick in 2009 out of Royal High School in Simi Valley, Calif. The 6-foot-4 reliever, clocked previously at 95 mph, made his Minor League debut this season after recovering from a torn labrum and was 0-1 with a 3.09 ERA in 10 relief outings through Aug. 3 before being released by Miami.
Methylhexeanamine is a substance initially created as a nasal decongestant, but it goes by a variety of names and can be found in some muscle-building products as an energy booster. Five players have been suspended this year for using the substance.

Heritage grille my ass. The Bugatti Veyron is a two-ton rodent, not a modern take on 1920s racing cars.
At 180 pounds, adult capybaras are the largest rodents on Earth. It would still take 24 of the biggest specimens to outweigh a production Veyron, which measures in at 4,162 pounds. Poor Phil, the groundhog pictured above to illustrate the typical rodent incisors and snout structure, would be dwarfed by that W16 Franco-Germanic menace.
It would take a trip 4 million years back in time, all the way to the Pliocene, to find a rodent which could face a Veyron as an equal. Extrapolated from a skull found in Uruguay, Josephoartigasia monesi is estimated to have weighed as much as 2.5 tons. The science of paleontology has yet to peg its prehistoric acceleration.

So where do you assign blame for the ratings woes of "American Idol" (8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Fox) this season?
Is it the polarizing presence of Nicki Minaj? The inane utterings of Mariah Carey? The bland ballads and dumb theme nights? Is it simply old age?
You could answer "all of the above" and be right, but there's one more thing to consider: the lack of a talented male heartthrob. Yes, "Idol" has been so consumed with finding another female champ that it alienated perhaps it most vital fan base: teen girls who crush on cute young guys.
The closest thing it had to a legitimate heartthrob was the recently ousted Lazaro Arbos, but there was one small problem: He couldn't sing. As for his male counterparts, they not only lacked that certain swoon-worthiness, they just weren't that good.
We can argue over whether "Idol" or "The Voice" has the best vocal talent. (We're still waiting for the latter to produce a real star.) But when it comes to which set of judges/coaches makes for the best TV, "The Voice" wins easily.
Fans had reason to fret when Shakira and Usher came on to sub for Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green. But the new kids have fit in just fine with vets Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
Moreover, they're having a good time, playing well off one another and exchanging good-natured barbs. They're just fun to watch.
The "Idol" panel, in comparison, makes it feel like work. The four judges just pretty much do their own thing — especially Nicki and Mariah, who clearly are going out of their way not to make eye contact or speak to each other. There's a frostiness that you can feel through the screen

Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions are of the site!
Take a look at the most popular FAQ's about Dante Alighieri Siena and things in general. If you cannot find an answer you are looking for please write to and we will answer as soon as possible.
How will I be placed in class?
New students that are NOT absolute beginners will take a placement exam which will be in multiple choice format either on-line prior to arriving to the school, or the Monday before class starts. Each student also has a short oral assessment to check his/her communicative ability. There are eight different levels and usually 2 levels within each of those as in 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, and so on. This makes it possible to place students within the right group of their level.
What happens if I want to change the class level?
It is no problem if you want to change class level at any time. It is important for us that you are happy with the level and rate of progress in class. If you are not happy for any reason, you may speak to your teacher or the Director of Studies in order to be placed in your appropriate level.
What is Continuous Enrollment?
Continuous enrollment means that it is possible to start and stop any week. We have a system where the syllabus is divided into separate weekly modules. Each teacher is given a study program that should be covered for each level so the Director of Studies knows exactly what the students are doing. The Director visits every class each week to check the levels and the students' progress.
What teaching methods are used?
The classes are full-immersion meaning that classes will be taught in Italian and students are politely but strongly dissuaded from speaking their mother tongue in class. All four language skills will be explored in class: speaking, listening, writing and reading. In most classes, emphasis is placed on speaking and listening, while written work is usually done as homework and checked by the teacher.
How can I be sure that I'm making progress?
Students benefit from intensive classes and their progress is measured and evaluated on a weekly basis. Every two weeks you are given a quiz to verify that you have understood all the concepts, functions and vocabulary covered in that period. During this time, you will also be given an opportunity to revise and to deal with any specific areas of interest or difficulty. This constant monitoring of the students' progress ensures your confidence and success. Because of the tightly structured syllabus, it is also easy to change a level without losing any time or repeating the same aspects of the course.
How much Italian can I expect to learn during the courses?
As all our courses are specifically planned to meet the needs of our students, and all Italian language lessons are held in Italian language, you can be sure you will learn a lot and you will learn it quickly.
When and how should I apply?
We recommend you apply no later than one month prior to the start date. You can apply online by clicking here.
Computers, Internet
Will I have access to Internet or Wi-Fi connection?
At Dante Alighieri Siena you will have free Wi-Fi access. When you arrive at the school we will give you the password for the WiFi.
Should I bring a laptop?
We do not require you to bring a laptop but strongly encourage you to, provided it is insured. You should make sure that your computer accepts local electric currency and can be used in foreign countries.
Please note: Dante Alighieri Siena does not offer technical support for personal computers and cannot assist with hardware or software malfunctions or incompatibilities.
Cost of living in Siena
What is the cost of living in Siena?
The cost of living in Siena is average. Basic food costs are in line with the rest of the European Union.
Food and drinks come in all price ranges, from reasonably priced eateries to fine dining. The following can be used as approximate numbers for reference for food costs at a grocery store:
one loaf of bread: € 1,40

one liter of mineral water: € 0,30 - 0,60cents
one can of Coke: € 0,50
one bottle of beer: € 0,90
Complete lunch in an average restaurant will cost about € 15,00/30,00, typical Italian breakfast of a pastry and coffee or cappuccino costs about € 2,50, delicious Italian gelato (ice-cream) costs € 2,50.
If you feel like having a snack, there are plenty of cheap pizzerias, where a slice of pizza costs about € 1,10 / 3,00.
A cinema ticket will cost about € 8,50.
A full cycle of washing, including drying, at the launderette, costs € 6,00.
Urban bus is € 1,20 for a one-way trip, while a monthly pass will cost € 33.00.
Field trips
Are all field trips included in program fees?
We offer both mandatory and optional field trips. Mandatory field trips that are part of the syllabi are included in the program fees and will be specified in the program description under "included in fees". Optional trips offered in our Co-currcular and Social Activites calendar https://www.dantealighieri.com/social-activities.php may require payment. Please note that no refunds are given to students who do not participate in field trips that are included in the program fees.
When will I know details about my housing assignment?
Because of logistics we will let you all the housing details (address & landlord/homestay phone number) about 2 weeks before your course starts.
When should I arrive/depart from my housing?
You can move in your housing the day before your course starts which is usually on Sunday. You should move out no later than the day after your course ends which is usually on Saturday.
Can I stay in my apartment before and/or after the course start/end dates?
If you need to arrive or depart on dates other than the day before/after your course please let us know right away and we will try our best to accommodate your request. We cannot guarantee these types of requests given that we give absolute priority to our students.
Who should I contact if I have a problem once I'm in my housing?
If you have any problems please don't wait too long to let us know. We are here to help and want nothing more than for you to be completely happy, comfortable and safe in your housing. Let someone at the front office know right way or write an email to the Housing Coordinator email@example.com
Can I have guests over?
Sure you can but only if everyone in the apartment is OK with it. Make sure to ask all your roommates ahead of time and arrange appropriate times. If you are in a homestay make sure you ask the family before you invite anyone. In any case make sure you don't make a habit of it and please note that over-night guests are prohibited.
What is the difference between Private Apartment and Mini-residence?
The main difference is that the Private Apartment is exactly that... a private apartment while the Mini-residence is in a tourist accommodation facility that has a reception desk and where you will have to pay the "tassa di soggiorno" a "tourist tax" just like in any hotel or tourist type of accommodation and the room is usually like a studio apartment.
Am I required to get housing through the school?
Absolutely not! Feel free to find your own housing but be aware that from our experience and problems that past students have had, we strongly discourage this option unless you are very familiar with the city, the language and the landlord.
Can I pick my roommate?
Of course you can! Make sure your choice of roommate also lets us know that they want you to be their roommate as well.
Medical emergencies and non-emergencies
What should I do if I have a life-threatening medical emergency?
If you have a life-threatening emergency call:
Medical Emergencies: 118
Police (Carabinieri): 112
Police (Polizia di Stato): 113
Fire Department: 115
Taxi in Siena: 0577-49222
AFTER calling one of the above numbers please make sure to let someone know at the school.
What should I do if I have a non-life threatening medical emergency at night or on a weekend and need to see a doctor?
Call 118 and ask for them to send you a Guardia Medica which is available throughout the night from (8:00pm - 8:00am) and during week-ends. Doctors from the Guardia Medica make house calls, yet this service is only for extreme emergencies such as high fevers, etc., not for flu or cold symptoms. It could occur that the Guardia Medica tells you to go to their medical office. If you need a taxi in Siena to reach them call:
Siena Taxi: 0577-49222
Where can I get a doctors appointment for a non-emergency visit on weekdays?
If you need to see a doctor, Dante Alighieri Siena recommends the following physicians who have previously and successfully worked with our students. Some of these doctors speak English and you may go directly to them. Doctors' visits cost € 30.00 on average.
Studio Medico
Via Pantaneto, 105 (in the city center)
Phone: 0577-42173
Visits by appointment ONLY
They are open from Monday to Friday 8:30am – 7:30pm.
Make sure to take your passport with you or some type of ID. If you want, we will gladly call to make the appointment for you just let us know at the front office.
Who should I contact to get a specialized doctors' visits?
If you need to see a gynecologist, dentist or any other specialist, please ask someone at the front desk and we will make an appointment with the appropriate doctor for you.
I don't feel comfortable going on a doctors' visit on my own. Can someone at the school help me?
Throughout the program, when needed, we provide you with information on local medical care facilities and assist you in case of emergencies. When necessary we assist with special health-related needs by translating or personally accompanying you to a local doctor, specialist or hospital. Just ask, we are here to help!
Where can I find a Pharmacy that is open 24 hours?
In the city center you will always find one pharmacy that will be open 24 hours. Pharmacies take turns for this 24-hour service, but the timetable is clearly shown outside each pharmacy. If you go to the pharmacy in the middle of the night you will probably have to ring the doorbell for them to let you in.
Official Italian language certificate
Will I receive an official Italian language certificate?
You may take the PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri) exam which is offered on specific dates in November and May every year. The PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri) certificate is an official diploma issued by the Società Dante Alighieri under an agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (no. 1903 of 4 November 1993) and with the scientific approval of the "La Sapienza" University of Rome (agreement of 29 June 2004). The PLIDA is also recognized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies (decree of 18 October 2002) and by the Ministry of University and Research as a qualification for the facilitated university enrollment of foreign students (ref. no. 1906 of 9 October 2006). The PLIDA certificate attests proficiency in Italian as a foreign language on the basis of a 6-level scale. We offer specific preparation courses for the exam. (more info)

I'm not familiar with the city of Siena. Will there be an orientation tour of the city?
Yes, every Monday after class one of our instructors will hold an orientation meeting at the school and take you on a practical tour of the city of Siena. This is a great time to ask the instructor to show you where something is that you are looking for.
What is the weather like in Italy?
The summer months are very warm throughout Italy. The south is always a few degrees warmer than the Center and the North. The average temperature in the summer is between 18°C – 30°C (64°F – 86°F), and in the winter 4°C – 16°C (39°F – 61°F). During the winter it is best to bring warm clothes - also for wearing around the house - as Italians tend to turn off the heating at night due to the high costs.
What is the time difference in Italy?
Italy is on the Middle European Time (MET). Rome is 1 hour ahead of London, 6 hours ahead of New York, and 8 hours behind Japan. During the summer months (March-October) the clocks are set one hour forward.
When are shops open?
Most shops are open between 9:30-13:00 and 15:30-19:30. During the summer, many shops stay open all day during the week, but close Saturday afternoon and re-open on Monday afternoon, but this differs from shop to shop. On Sundays, most shops and banks are closed all day so it's a good idea to make prior arrangements if you arrive on Sunday.
How can I travel around Italy?
Siena is well connected by train and bus to all major cities in Italy such as Florence, Pisa and Rome. Special discounts on trains are sometimes available for persons under 26 years of age. It is also possible to buy a season ticket, saving you money on your travel. Siena is very close to the main highway, making it easy to travel around by car during your stay. Non-residents are not allowed to drive in the historic city-center of Siena as well as in other cities in Italy, so make sure you get informed before you drive to other cities. In Siena you can park your car for free at the fortress which is right is outside the city center.

VIA Rail teams with contractors to present report on Barrhaven-area railway crossing signalsWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
On April 10, following reports of VIA Rail Canada's Automatic Warning Devices (AWDs) systems at six Barrhaven-area rail crossings going into fail-safe mode with higher frequency and for longer periods of time than usual, VIA Rail retained experts at RailTerm and engineers from Hatch Mott MacDonald and Siemens to conduct an investigation of its infrastructure and signaling system and further investigate the root causes of these occurrences.
Following receipt of the reports, VIA Rail will develop its action plan to address any outstanding issues. On April 30, VIA Rail received a first report; other reports are expected early next week and VIA Rail will consider the reports' findings, recommendations and actions taken to-date. It will elaborate its own action plan if the reports recommend that further actions be undertaken.
At an Ottawa City Council committee on May 15, the consulting firms will present their reports and VIA Rail will present its action plan. VIA Rail says it hopes that following the briefing, VIA Rail, its contractors and the city of Ottawa can work cooperatively to resolve all issues related to rail crossings in the area, in the interest of the safety of VIA Rail's passengers and Ottawa residents.
VIA Rail has been scrutinized over repeated malfunctions of crossings in the Fallowfield area. The issues were so frequent, VIA Rail posted personnel at problem locations until the crossings could be fixed.
On April 30, city of Ottawa officials shared with VIA Rail and RailTerm engineering staff a city video of an incident of April 28 on Fallowfield Road. The video shows that an OC Transpo bus clearly stopped beyond the stop line, the north gate hit the bus and the bus proceeded to back-up to the regulated stop line.
Following further investigation by VIA Rail and RailTerm engineering staff, it was determined that the fail-safe mode may not have been caused by the OC Transpo bus hitting the north gate at Fallowfield Road, but by the south gate, which was misaligned. Notwithstanding the cause of the incident, it remains that on both April 25 and April 28, OC Transpo buses stopped beyond the stop line. For VIA Rail, these types of breaches are unacceptable.
Provided that road traffic respects signals and stop at the stop line when approaching a railway crossing, the AWD fail-safe mode ensures that both road and train traffic cross the area safely, at all times.

The following dates have been established for processing transactions affecting the 2001-02 fiscal year:
All payrolls and related transactions submitted in accordance with your Agency payroll calendar for June 2002 will be processed as 2001-02 transactions.
All negative balances must be cleared by the close of business on June 28, 2002. Agencies must input their data into Departmental Accounting by the close of business on June 26, 2002 in order for the voucher to be posted on June 28, 2002. Agencies that have negative balances on June 28, 2002, and no vouchers pending, must provide the Bureau of State Payrolls with one account code so that these balances can be cleared. We will be unable to post to multiple accounts.
We strongly recommend that agencies closely monitor account balances in order to avoid delays in paying employees at the end of the fiscal year.
Any transactions entered and approved by 5:00 P.M. on June 28, 2002 will be processed as fiscal year 2001-02 disbursements. As a reminder, the On-Demand Payroll system will be used to process manual payrolls and revolving fund reimbursements by Bureau of State Payrolls and agencies that have received training.
We await the outcome of the 2002 Legislative Session regarding Class C Travel. Last fiscal year, the Implementing Bill for 2001-02 General Appropriations Act prohibited the reimbursement for Class C travel on a per-diem basis and did not allow a traveler to receive subsistence allowance. As such, the Comptroller's Office did not process any payment for Class C travel incurred during fiscal year 2001-02.
Agencies may submit year-end bonus payments either through COPES or the PC Payment System on any of the following payrolls:
* The Awards Payroll is a warrant only payroll and will not generate EFT payments.
** Please see Comptroller Memorandum No. 09 (2001-2002) dated May 03, 2002 for additional year-end bonus information and processing instructions.

June 28, unverified receipts on the Treasurer's file will be rejected (placed in "R" status) and returned to the agencies by the Treasurer. On the night of June 28, Departmental FLAIR will purge all outstanding cash receipts records from the cash receipts file. FLAIR will produce a report for each agency that had outstanding records purged. Agencies will need to make correcting entries in Departmental FLAIR for all records purged from the cash receipts file.
2. Cash receipts may be input on June 28, transmitted to the Treasurer, and verified on June 28. Supporting documentation that is validated by 2:00 P.M. June 28 must be delivered to the Treasurer by 5:00 P.M. June 28 in order for the deposit to be posted to fiscal year 2001-02. The Treasurer must be able to read the bank validation on the deposit slips.

All expense warrants returned for cancellation that are received by 5:00 P.M. June 28 will be processed as current year business. Please note that cancellations for payroll warrants are performed by the agencies and must be both added and approved online by 5:00 P.M. June 28. EFTs marked for deletion by 11:00 A.M. Wednesday, June 26 will be restored to agency accounts in June 2002. Agencies should review their accounts to ensure that the appropriate prior year cancellation revenue category code, 003700, has been established.
Any refund of overpayment of salary approved by entering the deposit number online by 5:00 P.M. June 28 will be processed in the 2001-02 fiscal year. Please refer to the Payroll Preparation Manual, Volume V, Section 2, for instructions on approving salary refunds.

June 10 to allow time for review and approval. Previously approved proposed or provisional settlement agree- ments attached to payment vouchers received by the Bureau of Auditing by 5:00 P.M. June 28 will be processed as 2001-02 disbursements.
Timely resolution of settlement agreements is encouraged and recommended; however, settlement agreements must be submitted with sufficient detail and in a form sufficient to enable a prompt pre-audit. Those settlement agreements with voluminous detail that may hinder timely processing of other settlement agreements should be considered for processing as Certified Forward items. All settlement agreement payment vouchers not meeting the requirements of Bureau of Auditing, Voucher Processing Handbook, Chapter 1, page 10, or the Bureau of State Payrolls' Payroll Preparation Manual, Volume IV, Section 13, will be returned for rescheduling as charges against FY 2002-03 appropriations or certifications forward, as appropriate. Any questions relating to this process and/or documentation requirements should be directed to the Bureau of Auditing or the Bureau of State Payrolls.
1. Because of the heavy workload experienced at year-end, it is our intent not to accept manually prepared vouchers from agencies. Requests for exceptions to this policy should be directed to the appropriate Bureau Chief. Your cooperation in minimizing these exception requests will help us to close out the fiscal year in a timely manner.
2. All old negative balances should be cleared no later than June 21.
3. All functions of FLAIR will be operational for the entire day on June 28. However, please realize that no disbursement transactions entered on that day will produce vouchers. FLAIR will purge the voucher print file on the night of June 28 to ensure that no vouchers will print on July 1, 2002.
4. Statewide document number will be reset to begin with the number x3000000001 on July 1, where x denotes the data base on which the number is used. The number in the first position is incremented each year to avoid duplication of statewide document numbers across fiscal years.
5. Departmental FLAIR will be available on Saturday, June 22, 2002. However, all work will be processed as Monday input as usual.
No changes are known for the Certifications Forward process on June 30, 2002. Below is a summary of the Certification Forward information:
1. As was done in prior years, the CFI (Certified Forward at June 30, 2001) and NCFI (Certified Forward at June 30, 2002) fields will be available in FLAIR. Certifications forward at June 30, 2002 will be processed based on the NCFI. All items marked for certification on or before June 28, 2002 will effectively be marked in both the CFI and NCFI. FLAIR will read all subsidiaries on the night of June 28, 2002 and set the NCFI to a blank.
2. At the agency's request, FLAIR will reset the NCFI-C on all non-FCO state fund items (except those in SF-8) on the accounts payable and/or encumbrances subsidiaries at 6:00 P.M. June 28, 2002 for certifications forward, and agencies must "unmark" those items not to be certified. Receivables and memo encumbrances without a vendor will not be automatically marked.
Agencies should request automatic marking of subsidiary files in writing by Monday, June 3, 2002. Letters should identify which subsidiaries, if any, should be marked and the letters are to be mailed to:
Mr. Raymond B. Marsh, Director
No subsidiaries will be marked for requests received after June 14, and telephone requests will not be honored. The letter should also include a request for FLAIR to create an FCO Certifications Forward file from your Projected Information file records, if you so desire. Otherwise, these records will have to be built manually as part of the FCO Certification process. FCO Certifications records from last year have been purged from the file and are not available for update.
3. For those agencies not using the FLAIR automated marking, certifications forward may be manually marked in one of the following ways:
a. Enter the "C" on the appropriate 60, 80, or 90 trans-action (NOT 6S, 8S, or 9S subsidiary updates) as part of the original input. Use this method only after June 30, 2002 because FLAIR will reset the NCFI to a blank on that night and any markings prior to that action will effectively be lost. After June 30, transactions 60, 80, or 90 that carry a "C" will update NCFI (Certification Forward at June 30, 2002) regardless of PPI. However, to record the balance as of June 30, 2002, the appropriate PPI must be entered.
b. Call the items up on subsidiary inquiry/update screens and update them with a blank PPI to carry the "C" in a single update mode. Subsidiary inquiry screens will show both the CFI and NCFI fields.
c. Call the items up on the 1S-X screen and update them to carry the "C" and the date received for accounts payable in a multiple update mode. 1S-X may be used only for items that have no 2001-02 activity.
4. To "unmark" items that will not be certified forward, the item should be retrieved using the appropriate subsidiary update with a Blank PPI, or the IS-X screen (if there has been no current year activity), and erase the "C" in the CF field. This will remove the "C" from the NCFI.
5. Memo Accounts Receivable and Memo Encumbrances without Vendors may not be marked for certifications forward.
6. NCFI will be retrieved from the appropriate subsidiary Payment/Receipt in 2001-02, but may be overridden before processing.
7. As was done last year, Fixed Capital Outlay will be certified forward through the FLAIR Certified Forward system. Consult the EOG Office of Policy and Budget for instructions in this area. In keeping with the policy of prior years, no FCO accounts will carry a certified forward indicator, but instead, will utilize the year indicator to identify appropriations to a specific year.
8. Certified forward processing must run before you close the year and cannot be run on the night of your year-end closing. This process is requested through the PE function. Certified forward information will be transferred to EOG upon request to the FLAIR Help Desk by the agency.
Requests must be called into the Help Desk by 2:00 P.M. on the day that you wish the transfer to occur. Only subsidiary records with positive balances will be processed and reflected on the certified forward reports. The certified forward processing and EOG transfers are separate, independent processes and must be scheduled/requested as such. If you close the year without first completing the certified forward processing, the transaction 07s to record GLs 122xx, 131xx, 134xx, 911xx, and 931xx will not be recorded.
9. You do not have to run certified forward processing before you can pay items to be certified. The prior year, or June 30, 2001, subsidiary file balances are utilized for certified forward processing, but the current year on-line subsidiary function continues with updates to current year balances. Records with prior year balances will not be purged while you are in dual-year processing.
Each agency can assist with closing the 2001-02 fiscal year in the following manner:
1. Make every effort to submit substantially all your vouchers to the Bureau of Auditing by Friday, June 21.
2. Carefully check cash and appropriation balances in all accounts to ensure that sufficient amounts are available. This will eliminate delays or rejections of payments due to funds shortages.
3. Agencies using selected operating accounts for consolidating salary payments must adjust these accounts to reflect the correct salary disbursements before the close of the fiscal year. Transfers of salary charges must be made to the applicable accounts to eliminate year-to-date negative disbursement balances.
4. Carefully review year-to-date balances in all accounts to ensure that appropriations are not over-expended and that atypical balances do not exist. Generally, accounts must not be closed out showing atypical year-to-date balances.
For additional information, please contact the following:
Bureau of Accounting 410-9951, SC 210-9951
Your assistance and cooperation are appreciated.

Deep down, Thomas of course knew it wasn't permanent and he knew he would be back. His locker was never emptied and the nameplate still read "Thomas" on Monday afternoon, showing that the intent of the Jets all along was to bring the veteran back onto the 53-man roster. On Monday, Thomas told the media he was "Pissed" when the Jets originally cut him, even as he understand that it was a move based on the need to temporarily open a roster spot and not an indictment on him.
But truth be told, Thomas never envisioned signing for any other team while he was a free agent for about 48 hours.
"It would have been hard; I've been a Jet for 11 years - wouldn't want to play for anybody else – no other organization. I love this organization," Thomas said. "Drafted as a 21 year old kid out of [Alabama-Birmingham]. This is where I wanted to be, where I wanted to stay. I wanted to retire as a Jet."
He missed the past two games with a hamstring injury but said that he will be back this Sunday for a marquee match-up with the 49'ers. In doing so, he is putting away the pain and hurt from being temporarily divorced from the only team he's ever known in the NFL.
For Thomas, he didn't take to the trial separation.
"You have to look at it as a business, I'm an adult. I have to go with it, move on and now get ready for San Francisco," Thomas said. "Getting back healthy, getting back on the field. Getting ready for San Francisco. That's all."
