The company I work for gave us all gift certificates for Honey-Baked Ham in Urbandale, so revkah and I figured, "Hey, easy grocery shopping."
Working a weekend shift, a menu for the place got passed around. A buddy of mine and I were pretty excited about the Paradise Club. He got there last week and is still raving about it. I had mine today, and that is the best sandwich I can remember having.
If you haven't been there, you've got to try it. Great stuff!!!

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Thank you for the quick reply. On specific dollar figure for "damages", I don't see any but there is a clause that says if it went to the courts, the winner is entitled to reasonable cost and attorney's fees from the other party. Resigning in less than 30 days breaks the contract so do they count as "damages"? If so, could you explain what to expect for reasonable cost and attorney's fee besides a civil court filing fee?

More than 6,000 participants attended "Heating Up: The Energy Debate," Gustavus Adolphus College's Nobel Conference on climate change, Oct. 2-3, in St. Peter, Minn.
Speakers at the Gustavus event argued for individual and collective action to address the "carbon footprint"—energy consumption's impact on the global climate. The consensus seemed to be that if humans don't deal with climate change now, they'll deal with it later.
Hope amid change
"Signs of climate change are evident," said Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel laureate in physics. "But alternatives in energy sources give us options." Chu, director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is a professor of physics and cellular and molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley .
Chu is optimistic: "We don't need 100 percent certainty. Most scientists are 95 percent certain CO2 (carbon dioxide) is impacting climate change, and we already know sea levels are rising, water shortages are increasing and other factors indicate the direction we're going. If there were even a 50 percent chance your house would burn down in five years if you didn't take some reasonable action, wouldn't you take the action?"

Why do businesses selling the same thing crowd around each other rather than strike out on their own?
To answer that question, Adam Davidson and Chana Joffe-Walt walk through some New York City neighborhoods – the diamond district, the plant district, the chess district — where store after store sells the exact same thing.

C. Description of Performance Appraisal Systems
All employees covered by this policy are evaluated by comparing performancewith established performance factors and defined performance levels.
1. Performance Factors
Employees in both exempt and non-exempt positions are evaluated on the basisof standardized performance factors designed to measure significant dimensionsof their positions.
There are five (5) performance factors applicable to all positions:
There are three (3) additional performance factors for supervisory positions:
Planning & Controlling
All performance factors are defined on the Performance Appraisal Form808.22.1.
2. Establishing Performance Goals
It is recommended that goals be established for employees in exempt andnon-exempt positions. Employees develop their performance goals and discuss themwith their supervisor to ensure conformity with unit objectives and the City'smission statement. Mutually agreed upon goals are submitted to reviewer toensure consistency with office/bureau and departmental objectives. Forprobationary employees, supervisors develop goals.
3. Rating Employee's Performance
An employee's performance is rated on the degree to which employeedemonstrates behaviors described within each pre-established performance factorand, where applicable, on the basis of attainment of performance goals. For eachperformance factor the rater selects the level, which most closely describes theemployee's performance. The four (4) levels of performance used in ratings are:
Exceeds Standards - Performance consistently exceeds job requirements;demonstrates exceptional productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Meets Standards - Performance consistently meets job requirements,demonstrates productivity, effectiveness, and competency.
Needs Improvements - Performance does not consistently meet all jobrequirements; improvement is necessary to attain expected level of performance.
Below Standards - Performance is consistently below job requirements; doesnot demonstrate necessary skills and abilities.
4. Establishing Overall Ratings
The rating for each factor is typically the rating most frequently given (themodal value). However; if all factors are of equal importance and if there aretwo modal values (a tie), the overall rating is at the lower level.
In determining the overall rating, the rater considers:
The rating most frequently given;
Any unforeseen conditions affecting the achievement of the goals; and
The relative importance of each factor.
If, however, one factor is considered significantly more important than theother, this must be signified on the form and can be taken into considerationwhen establishing overall ratings.
5. Frequency of Ratings
An employee's performance is formally evaluated at the end of the AnnualReview Period with the following exceptions.
a. Probationary Ratings - A probationary employee's performance is evaluatedprior to the completion of the approved probationary period.
Probationary ratings are to be forwarded to the Classification and PaySection no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the close of theprobationary period.

b. Extended Probationary Ratings - Should a probationary employee's overallperformance be less than Meets Standards and the employee is not terminated, thereviewer may request, in writing, that the employee's probationary period beextended not to exceed ninety (90) additional days. The employee's performanceis evaluated prior to the completion of this extended probationary period.

E. General Instructions
The following should be kept in mind by all raters and reviewers:
1. Complete the Performance Evaluation Form without the employee beingpresent.
2. Consider each factor separately, taking into account only that particularfactor which is being rated. Do not be influenced by your general opinion of theemployee's overall performance.
3. Be objective in evaluating the employee's performance so that eachfactor's rating accurately describes the level of performance in the particulararea being considered. The usefulness of any performance review depends almostentirely upon the understanding, impartiality, and objectivity with whichratings are made. The care and skill used by supervisors in rating employee'sperformance are measures of supervisory ability to direct the work ofsubordinates.
4. Do not be influenced by one or two unusual incidents, but rate in terms ofthe employee's regular day-to-day performance during the entire period beingconsidered.
5. Consider the evaluation in terms of the employee's present duties, not interms of the duties of a different, higher, or lower classification.
6. Do not consider potential value or personal abilities of the employee,except as they are actually revealed in and used on present work assignments.Ratings should reveal what the employee actually does in the present position.
7. In rating individual factors, remember that it is entirely possible forthe ratings to differ between factors. An employee's performance in certainfactors may be better than it is in other factors.
8. Ratings should reveal the rater's observations of the employee's workperformance. The opinion of others should not influence the ratings, except whenthe rater has sought out such opinion from others for whom the employee performswork.
9. Raters always include written comments for ratings other than MeetsStandards. Raters are encouraged to provide comments for all ratings as well assuggestions for development on the form. Concrete and relevant comments shouldbe provided to document and justify the rated level of performance. Supervisorsare encouraged to use additional paper, as necessary, to describe more fully theemployee's ratings, to outline a plan of action to improve or maintainperformance, to commend exceptional work efforts, etc.
10. It must be remembered that the evaluation of an employee's performance isa continuing process of day-to-day observance and not merely an extra activitywhen ratings are made. Supervisors are urged to keep a notebook or log for thepurpose of documenting each subordinate's performance, thus maintaining accuraterecords to be used in the evaluation process.
11. Supervisors should not expect an employee to meet performancerequirements unless the employee was made aware of all job requirements.Likewise, an employee cannot be held responsible for work assignments unlessthey have received understandable instructions from the supervisor. Thesupervisor has the direct responsibility to develop the employee with respect tototal job performance. If the employee is not performing at an acceptable level,they should be told how and in what respect they are failing. and how to improveperformance. This is one of the supervisor's most fundamental responsibilities.
12. It is mandatory that the rater discuss the evaluation thoroughly andcompletely with the employee after the reviewer has made comments. Theevaluation interview provides the supervisor the opportunity to again review theposition requirements with the employee and advise on the methods, procedures,techniques, and practices which must be applied in order to bring performance upto an acceptable level. This is the supervisor's opportunity also to praise theemployee for good work. After the evaluation report has been discussed, theemployee signs the form to indicate that the ratings have been discussed andreviewed, not to signify employee's concurrence with the ratings.
13. A performance evaluation is a personal matter and should never bediscussed with the rated employee's fellow workers.
14. FORMS: Performance Appraisal Form, 808.22.1; Employee Award Form,808.22.2.
15. COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES: None.

Narrative director Steven Gallagher of Eidos Montreal, developing company for upcoming rehash Thief, today revealed why the developer decided not to feature the original voice actor for Garrett.
Unlike how Kojima Productions dealt with David Hayter, Eidos Montreal did reach out to voice actor Stephen Russell to potentially reclaim his old job, and he was even part of the early preliminary recordings. However, a decision to generate video content similarly to how Naughty Dog handled the Uncharted series changed the company's mind on using Russell.
Gallagher said on the subject:
"We want Thief to be a really rich, story-driven experience. Being able to deliver the narrative in the most convincing and believable way is a really important part of providing that experience. With the new visual of Garrett we'd created, we found that there was a disconnect that we couldn't ignore between the concepted character and Stephen's voice today."
Though Russell is reported as "a really athletic guy," the Thief team didn't feel that Russell's current voice would match the character that the developers have created for the new title: "We could have pasted Stephen's voice on top of the actions and stunts of someone else, but this wouldn't appear natural," Gallagher said.
The first looks for the Playstation 4 title Thief brings Garrett "Out of the Shadows" in a big way. We at PSU will have more information on Thief and the PS4 as more releases.

The Treasury-Bund Yield Puzzle
Why U.S. and German government bonds remain low—for now.
Low Treasury and Bund yields are continuing to defy market forecasts. With the renewed escalation of the euro-zone debt crisis, 10-year maturities on both U.S. and German government bonds have again fallen well below 3%. They are reflecting neither the visible effects of lower output gaps due to economic recovery, nor somewhat higher inflation, nor these countries' surges in sovereign debt-issuance.
Treasury and Bund prices in light of extremely low interest rates and high public borrowing in the U.S., Japan and many European countries is particularly perplexing. Markets could interpret still-robust business activity and high commodity prices as temporary phenomena, but there is no getting around the reality of sovereign-debt problems. The U.S. financial predicament has become so precarious that the ratings agency Standard & Poor's recently downgraded its outlook for U.S. debt. But markets shrugged that off. Why?
One factor is that in the past two years savings have massively increased practically everywhere. In 2010 the financial balance of the private sector—basically the difference between the savings and investments of households and businesses—stood at 6.3% of GDP in the U.S., 5.2% in the euro zone and 7.6% in the U.K., after showing largely negative values in the years before the 2008 financial crisis. So at least some increase in government debt is being absorbed by the private sector. The same happened in Japan in the mid-1990s, when an increase in sovereign debt, eventually hitting about 200% of GDP, went along with interest rates of between 1% and 2%. Almost all Japanese government bonds are bought by Japanese investors, mainly in the financial sector. This includes the central bank, the still state-owned post office bank and government pension funds.
We can also compare aspects of the present situation with Europe's post-war years, when we also saw an extended period of low bond yields (even negative real yields) despite the fact that numerous countries were grappling with exorbitant levels of sovereign debt. In part this could be explained by the nature of the financial markets back in those days, when pervasive regulation and rigid interest-rate ceilings were the order of the day. In an informative and much-quoted paper this year, economists Carmen Reinhart and Belen Sbrancia show that it was this brand of financial repression that allowed countries to liquidate a substantial part of their sovereign debts after the war.
Today there are different, more sophisticated instruments to stoke demand and keep the yields on government paper low. Guided by the maxim of a stable financial system, the liquidity regulations under Basel III and the capital requirements of Solvency II are nudging banks and insurance companies towards secure investments—with government bonds deemed the most secure investments of all. Meanwhile, central banks' monetization of sovereign debt lost its taboo some time ago, and direct purchases of traded government bonds have since become a key tool in the monetary policy arsenal. What is more, extremely low short-term interest rates now serve as a sort of "interest-rate anchor" for the long end of the yield curve. While demand is rising, the financial crisis has depleted the supply of safe bonds: Fewer countries enjoy top-notch ratings and the markets for asset-backed securities have more or less collapsed. Higher demand and a smaller range of safe investments on offer spells rising prices and falling yields on safe-haven markets.
Against this backdrop, what can we expect for yields in the next year or so? First, assuming that eventually Europe's leaders contain their debt crises and overcome the market's fears of default, Treasury and Bund yields could rise by as much as 0.7 percentage points. This is our estimate of the crisis premium, a residual in the interest rate not explained by fundamental factors like growth, inflation and savings rates.
In the medium term there are other crucial factors for long-term interest rates. Will emerging markets and other surplus countries like Japan sustain their high demand for safe bonds? This seems very likely, as their currencies are strong vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar and therefore they have an incentive to keep buying Treasuries to avoid losing competitiveness. The disconcerting implication of this is that global imbalances will remain high. Will central banks will keep their rates low for some time to come, and thereby provide an anchor for bond yields? Yes, probably, despite small rate hikes by the European Central Bank and the abandonment of quantitative easing in the U.S. So for investors, the somewhat paradoxical conclusion is that, despite towering government debt and considerable capital requirements facing many countries, bond yields may rise only moderately.
So far so good. But what would happen if confidence in U.S. fiscal policies really crumbles and Washington takes no convincing steps to avoid a payments default? Presumably interest rates would shoot upward and the dollar would be pushed downward. That would be a test we can all hope to avoid.

Where on Earth is Mars?
On top, Mt. Etna, imaged by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission; on bottom, Olympus Mons, observed by Mars Global Surveyor
Among the thousands of visitors to Mt. Etna this year, one group came not just to look at one of most famous volcanoes on Earth. Dozens of scientists trekked up Etna together this fall to observe what Etna has in common with Mars.
Researchers interested in what makes the red planet tick can't study the planet in person — at least not yet. To help them interpret what they see in Mars images and other remote sensing data–and to test their instruments and procedures–they turn to Earth.
Researchers at Mt. Etna
Though the two planets are very different, Earth offers many similarities, or analogs, to Mars. Some of these, such as Antarctica, are definitely off the beaten track. Others, however, such as Mt. Etna, are places where ordinary travelers might find themselves–although perhaps unaware that what they're seeing is anything like our neighboring planet.
"A site can be like Mars in a variety of ways," says JPL geologist Dr. Tom Farr, one of the participants in the "Exploring Mars' Surface and its Earth Analogues" workshop at Mt. Etna. "Since Mars is really cold, the first places you think of are Antarctica and the Arctic. These places provide a way to see some of the processes that probably take place on Mars' glaciers and permafrost. But a place can also be like Mars by having similar geological features, such as volcanoes, or processes like erosion and weathering."
Volcanoes in Commons
The prominent volcanoes on Mars are large, old and apparently no longer active. "Though small by Mars' standards, Etna, like the majority of volcanoes on Earth, is basaltic," says Mars Odyssey Project Scientist Dr. Jeffrey Plaut, who was also in the Etna workshop. "We believe that Mars' volcanoes have the same composition."
Etna also has an example of a volcanic process that scientists think may occur on Venus, the Moon, and possibly Mars, but until recently hadn't been seen before on Earth. "We see some long narrow channels on those planets that don't look like they were eroded by water," says Farr. "We inferred that they were produced by lava, but until their discovery on Etna, we had never actually seen that happen."

Not all of Earth's volcanoes match those on Mars. "Mt. St. Helens is not a good analog," says Plaut, "it's silica-rich and is a result of plate tectonics that do not seem to occur on Mars. For good examples of large shield volcanoes, the most common type on Mars, Plaut picks Mauna Loa and Kilauea. "The big island of Hawaii, which is the largest volcano on Earth, has been a tremendous Mars analog."
On Mars, super-sized volcanoes sculpted the landscape by releasing huge amounts of lava. It's possible to see what that sort of event did on Earth along the Columbia River in Washington. "Some of the largest lava flows on Earth took place there," says Plaut. The area was repeatedly flooded by lava, which formed the great basaltic cliffs called the Columbia River Basalts. And in Idaho's Snake River Plain, "rift lava seeped over a large flat surface creating a volcanic plain that serves as a good terrestrial analog for extensive sheet lavas on Mars as well as Venus and the Moon," says Farr.
Mars in the Desert
Top, Death Valley, Calif.; bottom, Sojourner rover image of Mars
Earth's deserts have many examples of geological processes at play on Mars. "Processes in arid environments tend to create dunes and landforms eroded and etched by winds like those we see on Mars," says Plaut. "We also like the desert because there's not much vegetation and the geology is exposed at the surface as it is on Mars."
Drier and cooler than most deserts, the Atacama in Chile is often considered a Mars analog. In the warm deserts of Tunisia at the edge of the Sahara and California's Mojave, wind-blown sand creates Mars-like dunes and landforms. Deserts in North Africa, China, Asia, and North America are home to wind-sculpted ridges known as yardangs, also common in the Martian landscape.
Death Valley, Calif.
On both planets, some of today's deserts were probably yesterday's lakes. The same process that created Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats may have shaped the dry lakebeds that dot the Martian landscape. "Mars seems to have had catastrophic floods," says Plaut. "not unlike those that took place in the Bonneville area in the ice age. As the glaciers retreated, the rapid draining of a large lake carved up the landscape creating distinctive landforms. There was a lot of water and a lot of energy."
One of the most famous planetary analogies and laboratories is Death Valley. "It's like Mars in its tectonic, erosional and sedimentation processes," says Plaut. "It looks like Mars, too. There's a spot called Mars Hill that reminds people very much of the Viking 2 Lander site."
Impact Zone
Many a meteor made its last stop on Mars and on Earth. Mars' surface is pockmarked with impact craters. Here on Earth, most are buried or have eroded away. The Haughton Crater on Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic is a well-known site for Mars-related studies. More accessible is the meteor crater in Winslow, Ariz. "It's fairly recent," says Plaut, "and well-preserved, like many we see on Mars."
Geology may not be all that Mars and Earth have in common. In the search for life in extreme environments, like those which may exist on Mars, researchers are looking in places like Yellowstone and Hot Springs, Ark. "Because the Mars environment is so cold and dry, getting liquid water to the surface today may require hot spring activity," says Plaut. "But people are studying all kind of ground water environments, hot or not, and caves as possible Mars analogs."
As Mars exploration continues, new common ground between that planet and this one is likely to emerge. "Even as we learn more about Mars from the new missions," says Farr, "we'll go out and try to find places on Earth that are similar, continuing our search for better Mars analogs."

Can anyone recommend an LBS in NYC that stocks track specific bikes?
Can anyone recommend an LBS in NYC that stocks track specific bikes?
Trackstar, Kingkog, Bikeworks (bikecult.com), Bicycle Station (parts or orders). Google them.
I don't know if I would recommend them, but R&A Cycles in Brooklyn sells track racing stuff, and has lots of stuff in stock. Call them before you go over - it was my experience that they were nice over the phone, kind of jerky in person.
R&A is veeeeeery pricey.
they have some $10,000 bike there hanging in the window there at RA lol
'gimme a fix' ~sid viscious
While R+A can be pretty pricey on new framesets and complete bikes (since their main business is super-high end dream bikes...they actually SOLD that Look track frame to someone!), they have tons of old stock if you're willing to pester them, and they're pretty competitive on accessories, disposable stuff like tires/chains/etcetera, and actually have good prices on clothes and shoes, so I wouldn't totally dismiss them. The service can be iffy depending on who you talk to, but Felix (who's their fitter) is a cool guy and extremely helpful.
Right. Not like Trackstar or KingKog. Puh-lease. Find "track" on any sales/marketing info, and you'll be instantly saddled with a nice value-added/consumption tax. They're ALLL fricking pricey in this town. You want cheap? Move to Iowa.Originally Posted by marcelinyc
yeah. move to iowa you rube!
or better yet, south d-- no wait. . . NORTH dakota.

Rolling Stone has released a list of "20 Great Songs About Prison."
Snoop Dogg's "Murder Was The Case" made the list.
"This Hip Hop epic follows Snoop's character from the streets of the LBC to the California Institute for Men in Chino," the Rolling Stone story says. "Along the way there are drive-bys, death and resurrection, deals with the Devil, weed smoke, Bible verses and ultimately, a ride on the 'gray goose' to prison, where Snoop finds himself in the middle of an all-out shank war."
Snoop Dogg was featured on the late Nate Dogg's "Never Leave Me Alone," which is also included on the publication's grouping.
"Framed within Nate Dogg's 1998 G-Funk ballad about an O.G. torn between a life of love and a life of crime, Snoop delivers an insightful verse from the prisoner's perspective," the item says. "'Somebody was naughty when they snitched on me and the judge just sentenced me to do about a century,' Snoop says, later fretting about whether his baby boo is being faithful on the outside."
Nas' "One Love," which was released in 1994 and is included on Illmatic, is also featured on the list.
"'One Love' is a letter from the rapper to a buddy that's in prison, updating him on what's been going on in Queensbridge since his bid started," Rolling Stone says. "In one verse, Nas both congratulates his friend on the birth of his child and shares some bad news that his lady is messing around. It's harrowing information, but Nas at least leaves half a hundred in the prisoner's commissary to make it go down a little better."
"Black Steel in the House of Chaos," a 1988 song from Public Enemy, also made the list.
"A detailed odyssey about a draft dodger and a massive jailbreak," Rolling Stone says of the song. "After a correctional officer falls asleep on the job, our protagonist secures the C.O.'s 'black steel' and the plan goes into action, leaving a trail of bodies and the titular chaos in its wake."

Since the release of Google's new operating system Jelly Bean, the company is working on releasing the updates for the latest and those devices that are compatible with the new operating system. The first of the devices to receive the Jelly Bean updates were Nexus devices like Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Google Nexus S while Google's newly launched tablet Nexus 7 comes pre installed with the Jelly Bean. And now finally the wait is over for the US Motorola Xoom owners, as the Jelly Bean update hits the US Wi-Fi version of the Motorola Xoom.
Now that you know Jelly Bean update is available you definitely want to know how to update your Xoom tablet. To update your Xoom manually, you should be currently running on the official Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich IMM76 firmware, as the OTA is an incremental update. Now to do so you will need a USB host cable of course, to flash the update manually as you have to change the update file to update.zip and then put onto your SD card and then flash it from the stock recovery. You can download the Jelly Bean update from the Google's servers and follow this guide to install the update on your Xoom. For any more further information check out this thread.

A Department of Justice official expressed strong support on Tuesday for the "Clean Up Government Act of 2011," telling lawmakers that it would make it easier to prosecute corrupt officials and send them to prison for longer terms.
"Our citizens are entitled to know that their public servants are making their official decisions based on the best interests of the citizens who elect them and pay their salaries, and not based on bribes, extortion, or a public official's own hidden financial interests," Mary Patrice Brown, deputy assistant attorney general in the Criminal Division, said at a hearing of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
Despite recent successes of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section, including a conviction growing out of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal and convictions and guilty pleas in a sprawling New Jersey corruption case, Brown said prosecutors have been hobbled by time restrictions and by recent court decisions.
"Allegations of public corruption may not surface until years after the crime was committed," she said, making the current five-year statute of limitations a big hurdle for investigators and prosecutors — and underlying the need to lengthen the statute of limitations, as envisioned in the statute.
Another section of the law that Brown said the DOJ wholeheartedly endorses would make it easier for investigators to use wiretaps and prosecute under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as RICO. And she said the proposed law would undo the harm caused by recent court decisions, including one involving Jeffrey Skilling, a key figure in the scandal that grew out of the collapse of Enron.
The Supreme Court held last year that prosecutors couldn't simply allege that a defendant wasn't doing his job honestly; they had to show that he had actually taken a bribe or kickback. The proposed law, Brown said, would make it easier to go after dishonest public officials, some of whose illegal schemes have been "ingenious," and do so fairly.
"The Department of Justice is committed to prosecuting public corruption offenses at all levels of government," Brown said.

Tree species differ from one another in, and display trade-offs among, a wide range of attributes, including canopy and understorey growth and mortality rates, fecundity, height and crown allometry, and crown transmissivity. But how does this variation affect the outcome of interspecific competition and hence community structure? We derive criteria for the outcome of competition among tree species competing for light, given their allometric and life-history parameters. These criteria are defined in terms of a new simple whole life-cycle measure of performance, which provides a simple way to organize and understand the many ways in which species differ. The general case, in which all parameters can differ between species, can produce coexistence, founder control or competitive exclusion: thus, competition for light need not be hierarchical as implied by R* theory. The special case in which species differ only in crown transmissivity produces neutral dynamics. The special case in which species differ in all parameters except crown transmissivity gives hierarchical competition, where the equivalent of R* is Z*, the height at which trees enter the canopy in an equilibrium monoculture.

Home / Tesol Jobs /China
China is not so much a country as a huge world in its own right. The ambition of the nation is to be the world's largest economy, and most educated observers expect that it is only a matter of time before this aspiration is met. But it is not simply the economic dynamism and the strange contrast of cultures that draws the traveler. Thousands of years of history, philosophy and culture are clearly evident, and in a sense all of the political events of the 20th century, are merely a grain of sand on the beach of Chinese history.
Cantonese and Mandarin are the official languages; however, in a country of around one point three billion spread over nearly four million square miles, there is a cornucopia of different dialects and idioms. The reality is that Cantonese will serve you well in some parts of the country; however, only Mandarin is intelligible in other areas. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism make up the majority of those observing religious practice. There is also a tiny minority orientated to Christianity and Islam.
The economic powerhouse facet of modern China has created huge demand for TESOL teachers. Some four-hundred and fifty million English learners exist in the country. This growing demand has meant in recent years that there are positions available for those without any specific qualifications other than being a native English speaker; however, those with a dedicated TESOL certificate will find they are in the best position to apply for the better paid jobs with good benefits.
China is one of the biggest TESOL markets in the world today, and the demand for TESOL-qualified teachers is growing on a daily basis. A TESOL certificate is all you will need - with a TESOL qualification you are likely to be offered a teaching position wherever you apply in China. The demand is huge!
With language institutes you can, in the main, expect to find yourself teaching those who work in business, less so those doing it just for fun. This 'needs-driven' market makes for sharp, well-motivated students. Don't expect to find people dozing at the back of the class. Commensurately, these people are paying for the privilege, and will expect a respectable, well-turned out, professional teacher. Another thing to be aware of is that many students will have been studying English for a number of years, and may have considerable awareness of grammar, such as tenses. Be on your metal, and prepare well. You don't want to have your knowledge of tenses tested by your students, who learned them all by heart before they were ten! One often finds a disparity between knowledge and oral and written dexterity. For example, students may be quite unused to hearing English spoken by a native speaker. Conversely, some, from experience in the tourist industry, speak and comprehend with great dexterity, but perform poorly in writing.
Many students will be working toward Cambridge Proficiency standards; hence an awareness of the curriculum for the various Cambridge exams is helpful. Because of the huge variety of standards in education you can expect a commensurately patchy student body. Some will have very little experience; however, others, privately educated, will have many years experience in studying English.
Your students are likely to be very motivated. It is the Chinese way for students to learn by rote, and repeat everything that the teacher says. Hence, work needs to be put in to ensure that students comprehend areas such as nuance, and the teacher's task is to get the students thinking, rather than simply repeating what has been said to them.
Getting a work permit in China is relatively easy these days. Theoretically, the Chinese government classifies teachers as either Foreign Experts, or Foreign Teachers. Technically, in order to qualify as a Foreign Expert, one should have a Masters degree in something like English Linguistics; however, there are not too many people of this ilk wandering around China. Whatever one's educational status, one should apply to be a Foreign Expert. The authorities can only say 'no', and if you have this status then your prospects of finding a really good job are much better. To apply to be a Foreign Teacher - again, very desirable status - one should have an undergraduate degree. Again, whatever one's educational status, this should be applied for. Once again, the authorities can only say 'no'.
Perhaps the wise job-seeker, in the best of all possible worlds directs their attention to their visa requirements and entitlements. This will depend on what your country of origin has fixed up with China. You can find all about this from your local embassy. Think about also what you have to do to renew your visa. All the way back home or does a cross-border trip do nicely? How many times can you renew your tourist visa and whether you can apply for a work permit in the country?
Beijing has come a long way in recent years, and one can put to rest ideas of uniformed guards parading, Soviet style, around shrines to Mao. Simply put the capital is becoming 'westernized'. English, foreigners and things western are all fashionable, and you can expect no shortage of curious natives asking you questions and wanting to be friendly.
Hong Kong, on the other hand, is a quite different experience. A place where a chaos of cultures has been going on for centuries, and a place where people have become accustomed to the 'different' being commonplace. The slick public transportation system allows you to move with ease through the hustle and bustle, and amidst all the hubbub, it permits easy access to quiet, contemplative oases such as public parks and temples. Truly a place to dive in and live the life, or rather 'lives'.
Shanghai, on the other hand is the new hotspot of 'lifestyle revolution'. It has a fantastic atmosphere of excitement and change, and boasts fabulous restaurants, and frenetic nightlife.
If you are after something a little different, then Tibet may capture your imagination. High in the Himalayas, regarded by natives as a different country to China, it's a great place to get lost in the monasteries and culture, and to gather your thoughts amidst truly breath-taking scenery.
A modicum of preparation prior to setting out will pay dividends. Think of not one country, but the continent of Asia. You may come to value mobility once you hit this part of the world. Hence, it is a very good idea to contact all of the Asian embassies in your country of origin, enquiring about teaching and visas, and see what you get back. You will find that you have a nice big file folder of leads and information, but will vary from country of origin to country of origin, Asian embassy to Asian embassy.
There are avenues that can be utilized to gain a placement prior to setting out. Princeton (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Stanford (firstname.lastname@example.com) Universities run volunteer programs in various countries, a component of which is TESOL teaching. Stanford's program, for example, is open to graduates and graduating seniors, and charges a fee that covers the cost of flights, training, visas and insurance.
The Chinese Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE) has thirty-seven provincial offices and is in the business of placing teachers. Similarly, the British Council (email@example.com) is active in China and works in cooperation with the Chinese education authorities. Now that the law has changed in China, a plethora of private language institutes have sprung up, these can be accessed via www.chinaTESOL.com and http://jobchina.net.
For some, getting a job will mean knocking on doors - hence, the need to have your certificates at the ready. Highly-qualified, and more importantly, well-turned-out, organized and enthusiastic teachers are in short supply. If they like you they will most certainly find some teaching for you!
Hence with China it is perfectly feasible to get a good job, before setting out, and also to work with a work permit. For those who chose not to do this, then one of the best and most realistic propositions is to build a working life based around constructing a portfolio a few hours here and a few hours there, bearing in mind that revenue from 'privates' can double a teacher's income, one should always be on the lookout for private students, whatever one's employment or visa status. The market for those wanting private tuition or conversation practice is huge, and potentially very lucrative, therefore, should not be neglected. Give yourself time to build a portfolio of work. This is the best safeguard to both your income, and employment status.

Is this what Rafael Nadal will be wearing at the Australian Open next month? We're hoping not. This promotional photo, though, has been floating around tennis forums and blogs recently. The Spanish speedster looks like a victim of a hit-and-run - are those tire tracks on his shirt? Tennis Served Fresh has more details on the individual pieces, including the sneakers and headband.
So far Nike, in our opinion, has underwhelmed with Serena Williams' and Roger Federer's gear and now it looks like they've gone over-the-top with Rafa's. Maybe they'll find a happy middle ground with Maria Sharapova's tennis fashion - let's hope.

A vendor that searches log files and IT data to uncover security breaches and find the source of service interruptions is unveiling a new version of its product at Interop and will provide troubleshooting for the massive temporary network that powers the Las Vegas conference.
Splunk, which bills its product as the "IT search engine," Tuesday is announcing Splunk 3.0, with new features such as personalized dashboards, expanded search language and interactive reporting.
Splunk's search engine has been used by Interop for a couple of years and will once again help uncover potential security problems in Las Vegas this week, says Glenn Evans, lead engineer for the Interop network, which serves 450 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees.
In a previous show, Splunk's product discovered that a private password allowing access to equipment in the network operations center had been inadvertently released to a public space, Evans says.
One big advantage of Splunk is that it consolidates log files into one location so they don't have to be searched separately, Evans says.
"We collect all of the logging data and messaging data from all the different network devices and applications at the show, and we let the people who run the network search against that data to resolve problems," says Splunk CEO Michael Baum.
This involves collecting and searching logs and IT data for a vast amount of unstructured information that changes constantly, he says. In addition to investigating potential security breaches and finding the sources of service interruptions, he says customers use Splunk to help comply with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Payment Card Industry data security standard.
New features in Splunk 3.0 include interactive reporting, which eliminates the need for complex data mapping and lets users shift easily from unstructured search to structured reporting.
New personalized dashboards let users receive any report, chart, search or alert on a dashboard. Splunk says it also has added a deployment server that enables "centralized management and control of distributed Splunk deployments across large numbers of applications, servers and devices."
Improvements to the search language include a feature that lets users adjust the clock on search results. This is useful when analyzing data from many different sources and the clock on one of those sources is inaccurate, Baum says.
"It's much more than searching on keywords; it's time-based searching against this very repetitive data," he says.
Splunk offers a free downloadable product that can index as much as 500MB a day. Customers who want to index more can buy an enterprise license for a minimum of $5,000. Some large customers spend as much as $500,000.
Last week, network management vendor Netcordia said it has partnered with Splunk to help enterprises uncover problems within their IT infrastructure.
"Under the agreement, Splunk will license its IT Search software to Netcordia as a means to index, search, and navigate the high volumes of events generated by network and security devices like routers, switches and firewalls," a press release states.
"NetMRI will use Splunk as a front-end processor to collect and manage the massive number of events coming in from the network. NetMRI's analysis engine intelligently parses through these events to discover the key patterns it needs to reveal hidden and harmful problems and generate actionable results."

So I'm planning on selling my old single-speed and I'm trying to figure out what kind of frame it is (it had already been spay-canned matte black when I got it, head badge missing). My strong suspicion is that it's a Schwinn Tempo, but I thought I'd run it by BF to confirm.
Serial: A732126 (someone out there can probably nail it with this alone)
Tubes: Columbus Tenax TRE TUBI RINFORZATI
Color: Sparkly pink (sigh)
Fork: Steerer tube is a Tange 6L Made In Japan, and I suspect it came stock judging from the paint.
There are also the numbers 840 on the bottom bracket shell between the chain stays.
The reasons I suspect that it's a Schwinn are:
1. The exposed original paint on the head tube where the badge was is round, as is the Schwinn logo.
2. I know a lot of Tempos in the 80 used the Tenax.

Monday media watch [20.05.13 AM]: Reaction to Wigan draw
Birmingham Mail: Paul Lambert confessed he was almost moved to tears after conducting the tributes for Villa's retiring captain during Stiliyan Petrov-day at Wigan. Lambert and Petrov returned to the DW Stadium field after the rest of the claret and blues had departed down the tunnel to allow the skipper to take the acclaim of the away fans.
Birmingham Mail: Paul Lambert revealed Villa have already opened new contract talks with Christian Benteke in an effort to keep their star striker at the club. Benteke missed the draw at Wigan through suspension, but Lambert is confident the claret and blues will not be without him next season.
Birmingham Mail: Not even 3,850 Stiliyan Petrov masks could hide the smile on the face of Aston Villa Football Club as the claret and blues ended a challenging season with renewed hope for the future. Ron Vlaar paid his own captain's tribute to the retiring skipper by smashing in a cracking goal that his predecessor Petrov would have been proud to avoid signing off with a defeat.
The Sun: Boss Paul Lambert admitted he was almost in tears as leukaemia-hit club captain Stiliyan Petrov came out at the end to meet 3,000 travelling fans. Supporters made this Petrov Day - and the tracksuited Bulgarian watched the match from the Villa bench.
Guardian: Villa levelled on the hour, and while the source of the goal may not have been extraordinary, the manner of its scoring undoubtedly was, centre-half Ron Vlaar bringing down a corner and nonchalantly volleying the ball into the top corner.
Daily Express: Skipper Ron Vlaar earned Villa a point with a spectacular second-half volley. Now manager Paul Lambert has his own big decisions to make, with Bent's future likely to be one of them.
Independent: Here, Bent - deputising for the suspended Benteke - scored the opener before Wigan seized the lead with an Emmerson Boyce header and an own goal by Nathan Baker. Ron Vlaar's equaliser in the second half was brilliant, the Dutchman volleying in from 18 yards.
Goal.com: Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has revealed that discussions are underway with Christian Benteke over extending the striker's contract. The Belgian still has three years to run on his current deal but after scoring 23 goals in his debut season at Villa Park, the Villans boss is keen to tie the youngster down with a number of clubs reportedly expressing an interest.
