It's just a matter of where. I'm a British citizen, 24, and, have a non-related degree :/ I'm currently leaning towards the CELTA in Prague because it appears to be one of the cheapest. If I were to try and get work in Prague following my training, what work could be expected? In Korea, I worked in a private academy. There are some horror stories about these kind of schools but I actually had a great time. Obviously due to the amount of classes I had I couldn't prepare something exceptional for each and every class but I was given a nice amount of freedom to do my own thing when the opportunity arose. How are the schools/students/etc. in CR?

Picture split shifts, starting at perhaps even 7am, finishing at 6 pm with a break in the middle. Picture travelling around the city to the offices of your students. There are a few school-based classes going, but dont' expect to be based at one location - it's rare. Students will be quite different as well - they are adults learning the language because they need it for work and travel (and possibly school) or need to get a Cambridge or IELTS score. They're highly motivated, can be quite demanding, and will expect to have considerably more control over what goes on in their classes than most Asian students. Your experience in Korea likely won't transfer very much to this job market. Most language schools have a decent supply of standard materials available to teachers, but it's usually expected that you and the students will work out a tailored syllabus that meets their specific needs, so you'll need to be able to respond effectively.

I wouldn't be comfortable teaching business english, nor working those hours - and especially for the salary expectations I've seen! Prague still might be a good place to do the CELTA...but, I honestly doubt I'm serious enough for the Czech market.

Likely 8-6 is more likely, but the split shift is indeed endemic at the newbie level.

"the time in-between is tedious waiting-time" - hmm, not if you find something constructive to do with that time! i didn't use to mind reading my book on the journey home, making myself an inexpensive lunch, maybe having a quick nap and then planning the afternoon lesson...

Fashion designer Armani and Hollywood actor Sean Penn are staging a fundraiser during the film festival to help the earthquake-stricken island.

It has been two years since a catastrophic earthquake ravaged the small island of Haiti, but amid the glamour and glitz of the Cannes Film Festival , Italian designer Giorgio Armani and his long-time friend, Hollywood actor and humanitarian Sean Penn, are pledging their support.
On Friday May 18, Penn will be joined by model Petra Nemcova in hosting a charity dinner, "Haiti: Carnival in Cannes", at the Agora Pavilion as part of a year-long initiative in support of J/P HRO (Haitian Relief Organization).

Armani and his niece Roberta will act as the event's chairs, which will include a performance by musical artist Lyle Lovett. The gala will also benefit Petra Nemcova's charity, the Happy Hearts Fund.
"I'm very grateful to my friend Giorgio Armani for his generous support of J/P HRO," said Penn, chief executive of J/P HRO and ambassador-at-large for Haiti. "The rebuilding of Haiti is going to take a sustained effort from passionate individuals for many years to come. I'm honored to have Mr Armani by my side."

The partnership is set continue throughout the year, highlighted with events in Paris, New York and Los Angeles, along with fact-finding missions on the ground in Haiti.
"I am proud to stand alongside Sean Penn, a man cut from a very rare cloth," commented Armani. "He first captivated me as an astonishing actor. Then as a respected director. Then as a loyal friend. And now, as a life changer."

Olsson opposed sacking of Di Matteo
West Brom defender Jonas Olsson admits he was not in favour of the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo as manager ahead of Saturday's meeting with his current club Chelsea.
But the Sweden international concedes that Albion and the Blues have both enjoyed success in the 21 months since Di Matteo left the Hawthorns.
Di Matteo has led Chelsea to Champions League and FA Cup glory while the Baggies have become established in the Barclays Premier League under Roy Hodgson and now former Chelsea coach Steve Clarke.
Olsson, part of the Swedish side which defeated England in mid-week, told Press Association Sport: "I rate Roberto Di Matteo very highly.
"I was very clear when the club sacked him that I wasn't (in favour of it). I really enjoyed working with him.
"He is a good coach and I really connected with him as a person as well. But everything happens for a reason I guess and, for him, it turned out very good and, for us, it turned out well.
"We got Roy Hodgson as manager and really pushed on from there and Roberto went to Chelsea and had a fantastic career there.
"It will be good to see him but, when it is game time, we will be looking to keep going and keep doing what we've been doing this season."
Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill will again deputise for Ben Foster, who is recovering from groin surgery.
Albion are sweating over the fitness of defender Gareth McAuley, who suffered a hamstring injury playing for Northern Ireland against Azerbaijan, with Gabriel Tamas on stand-by to deputise.
But they are more hopeful midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu will be fit after a hamstring injury led to him withdrawing from midweek action with Congo.
On-loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is ineligible to face his parent club.
The Blues received a boost on Friday when Di Matteo announced defender John Terry would only be out for "approximately three weeks".
The European champions allayed fears their captain had suffered a serious knee injury in Sunday's Barclays Premier League draw with Liverpool when they confirmed on Monday he would be out for weeks rather than months.
And with Chelsea having further assessed Terry over the past four days, Di Matteo had even better news to report.
"With JT, we're looking at approximately three weeks," he said.
"Fortunately, it's not as bad as we first thought."
Ashley Cole could return after missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury.
John Terry (knee) will be out for around three weeks, the game comes too soon for Frank Lampard (calf).

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas walked into his postgame press conference on Thursday. He plopped into his chair. He considered the fact he was the coach of the worst team in NBA history. And he did the most remarkable thing.
He smiled. He laughed. He cracked jokes.
It's not that he didn't hate the losing. It crushed him. But the best thing about bad things is that they end—and for Silas and the Bobcats, this season is over. If he thought he stunk as the coach or his players had dogged it, he wouldn't have been so at peace. He knows there was nothing he or they could have done to prevent the losing. The team was bad to begin with, and when injuries decimated the roster even further, well, he was just along for the ride, as miserable as it was.
"Long, long years ago, my dad told me, 'Paul, everything happens for a reason, and everything happens for the best,'" he said.
Even the worst season in NBA history.
Thursday's season-ending, record-setting Bobcats loss, to the New York Knicks, was bad in the way a 1991 Dodge Spirit was a bad car. They're all bad, so it's hard to single out one more than another. The Bobcats were trying not to go down in history as the worst team ever.
Blast from Bobcats' recent past: Larry Brown rips Jordan's management style; MJ fires back
Will Silas return? Coaching changes forthcoming in NBA
Eastern Conference playoff preview: Heat, Bulls appear destined for rematch
Western Conference playoff preview: Mavs a threat to favored Thunder
NBA playoffs schedule: Series begin Saturday
And they made a game of it, or a half of it at least. They ended up losing, 104-84, the 24th time this season they've lost by at least 20. That dropped their record to 7-59, the league's worst-ever winning percentage of .106. The Bobcats not only lost a ton of games they lost a ton of them by a ton. They got blown out at home and on the road, and by teams who weren't near full strength.
Off the court was almost as ugly. The last two weeks of headlines focused on Silas shoving a player in the locker room and the former coach, Larry Brown, ripping the team's front office on Dan Patrick's radio show. Those titillating details will drown, though, in the stinking morass of Charlotte's 23-game losing streak to end the season.
"These last 10 games, we really tried to get after it, compete, not get that record," says guard Gerald Henderson. "It just didn't happen for us."
The Bobcats will look back on this season for the rest of their lives and be overcome with embarrassment, shame and regret.
If history is a guide, the answer is no, not necessarily.
These Bobcats take over from the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers as the worst team in NBA history. The Sixers went 9-73 with a winning percentage of .110. The MVP of that team, Fred Carter, has said often he wanted the 76ers to keep the record because at least that way, they'll be remembered for something.
Kevin Loughery was a player on that team who took over as coach at the All-Star break. On Thursday, he said this about coaching the 76ers to a 5-26 record: "That was a very wonderful year for me."
Despite all the losing, that season unlocked a passion for coaching that Loughery didn't know he possessed. He won two ABA championships and coached the Nets, Hawks, Bullets, Heat and Bulls, including Michael Jordan's rookie season, all partly because he coached the (formerly) worst team ever.
From first to worst: National champion Walker looks ahead after dismal season
Regular-season grades: Bobcats get an F; see what the other 29 teams earned
In Charlotte, Jordan is not the budding superstar, he's the failing owner of a team that lacks talented players. It's full of castoffs and not-quites.
That he gutted the team by making moves to clear cap space that sacrificed short-term success will go unnoted in the record book. Jordan didn't expect it to be this bad. Regardless, the record book will report only the cold, ugly facts.
What's next? More losing, though probably not as much as this season. Kentucky's Anthony Davis is the surefire No. 1 pick in the draft, and he would help tremendously. He would instantly become the Bobcats best player. But, to get him, the Bobcats have to win the first pick in the draft, and it would be cruel irony if they lost 89.4 percent of their games then lost the lottery, too. Still, they have only a 25 percent chance to get lucky on May 30.
A lot has to go right in the next few years for anything good to come of this train wreck of a season. But as Loughery proves, you never know. There's no beauty in losing, but beauty can grow out of it. Manure makes great fertilizer.
Silas' class has already showed that's true. After the game, a reporter started a question by saying the Bobcats ended the season with the worst record in the league. Silas interrupted him. "In history," the smiling coach said. And then he laughed again.

Over the weeks before the papal visit, during which unprecedented attacks on the Catholic Church (as a supposedly endemically paedophile organisation) and the Pope in particular (as being allegedly guilty of repeated cover-ups of priestly child abuse) formed the most frequent articles of indictment used by the vicious atheist campaign against the visit, most of us could not imagine how it would ever prove to be the dazzling success that it was, or how the Holy Father would ever so gently reduce Dawkins, Tatchell et al to utter irrelevance.
The charges against Pope Benedict in particular had been seen by most of the media not to stand up to close examination. But that left the shame of the Catholic Church over child abuse by a tiny number of its priests, and the cover-up and the moving on by a number of dioceses of priests accused of this detestable crime.
I argued, some of you will remember, that the percentage of clergy involved is no higher than that in other religious denominations or in the population at large, with one notable survey emanating from Stamford University claiming that it was actually smaller (between three to five per cent of priests against eight per cent of males in the American population). That doesn't make it any better for the victims of clerical abuse, of course: but we need to understand that the scandal is not that our priests are particularly prone to child abuse, but that we are all too representative as a sample of the population, when we should be setting an example to it.
Nor even is the accusation against some bishops, that they covered up the abuse and moved the perpetrators on, actually untypical of secular behaviour (cf for example, the American school system: though, again, it is not therefore in any way excusable). I have argued all this before, and those who want my evidence and arguments must go to my previous blogs on the subject.
There is one further point that needs to be made, however. Most of the cases of paedophile or (more often) ephebophile (teenage) sex abuse that have emerged over recent years took place decades ago, many in the 70s and 80s, when a very different view was taken by some of what we all without exception now know to be both a revolting crime and a sexual perversion particularly resistant to treatment or therapy. There really were some people who actually thought that paedophilia was a civil right. I was reminded of this by an accusation, made somewhere in cyberspace recently, against politicians supposedly guilty 30 years ago (I say nothing about whether this accusation was justified or not) of complicity in supporting paedophile organisations now long since dead.
Certainly at the time public support for paedophilia, though subject to hostile attack in the press, was not unknown. In the early 80s, the National Council for Civil Liberties (now Liberty), according to the Daily Telegraph, "wanted the age of consent to be lowered to 14 and incest decriminalised. It also defended self-confessed paedophiles in the press and allowed them to attend its meetings… Among the groups affiliated to NCCL were the Paedophile Information Exchange and Paedophile Action for Liberation, whose members argued openly for the abolition of the age of consent."
Nobody says that the response of the Church was in any way adequate. But it did know that paedophile and ephebophile behaviour were profoundly wrong. What the Church didn't understand any better than anyone else did was its nature. As a result, too many bishops thought that a combination of penitence and therapy (which we now understand rarely works) was a proper response.
To the dreadful pain and lasting damage of too many victims, they were wrong, utterly wrong. But these were almost unimaginably different times. We have all, and not least the Church, moved on. We need to understand that.

The MXIBS offers cultural, social and co-curricular programs and contributes in varying ways to an academic engagement with the African-American experience, one that has included curriculum development, research, and a regular lecture series. The contribution to the academic life of the College, however, is not limited just to support for Black Studies courses; its reach and impact must be larger. It is a partner in serving the broader College mission of educating students in the liberal arts and in advancing the College's strategic goals of strengthening the global and cross-cultural awareness of all our students.
As an academic/cultural resource, the MXIBS aims to create a living and learning environment that fosters an appreciation of the diverse and rich African American heritage, life and culture. It does so in the context of the College's mission of engaging and educating students, primarily students of color but not limited to them. In collaboration with other college offices, leaders, and programs, the MXIBS supports the recruitment, retention, and development of students of color, and as such serves all students in support of the College's mission to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively and live humanely.
A vibrant and effective Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies is a partner with the nascent Asian Studies program, the Center of Inquiry and all other academic programs and student services in strengthening the education of students for the 21st century. The programs and presence of the MXIBS will help us to recruit, retain, and offer better ways to engage a diverse student population and can be a partner in increasing the College's ability to recruit and retain diverse faculty and staff. The MXIBS must be a leader in this College-wide effort.
Developing a vibrant presence on campus through a range of educational programs in collaboration with all departments, offices and constituencies of the College will ensure that the College's mission is achieved. One form of that is to make sure that students of color in particular but all students have a rich, engaged, and satisfying experience at Wabash so that they are educated to become full partners and beneficiaries of the experience with the diversity of persons, ideas, experiences and cultures that we know leads to successful liberal arts learning outcomes.
It will accomplish this goal through support of interdisciplinary scholarship, course development and inspiring teaching and learning that continues the critical engagement with regional, national and global issues of race, poverty, inequality, human rights and justice essential for every educated 21st century Wabash graduate. Like other academic departments and programs of the College, the MXIBS, by means of its distinctive history, advocates, and future promise, advances the College's strategic goals of preparing students for global citizenship.

X Windows on LSPro
Reasons for doing this
I have been attempting to get GDM running on the LSPro to allow me to do a remote X login.
The idea is fairly straight forward, I want to install the X server on a WindowsXP machine, that will allow me to connect to the linkstation and have the linkstation be the actual X server. *WARNING* X server/client terminology is awfully confusing. This is the convention I am using here:
1. X Server is a program running on the LinkStation that will allow an X client to connect to it. This is, typically, gdm or kdm controlled. 2. X Client is a remote PC, be it XP or Linux.
The X client I am using for Windows Vista is XMing. I have been using this for some time at work to connect an X session within XP to a Debian configured Linux box.
This is very much a work in progress, things aren't running 100%, but it seems to function to some extent.
Installing X-Ming
X-Ming can be obtained from SourceForge. Install each of the packages.
Start X-Ming launcher (X-Launch) and follow these steps for configuration:
- At Select Display Settings, select 'One Window'. This is my preferred approach and I would suggest you use this until you have confirmed everything is working just fine.
- At Select how to start Xming, select 'Open sessions via XDMCP'
- At Configure a remote XDMCP connection, select 'Search for hosts (broadcast)'
- At Specify parameter settings, just select next.
- Save configuration to an easily accessable xlaunch file. This will be what you will use to activate X-Ming.
Installing Debian
Install FreeLink as shown on the FreeLink page. My experience with this, after following the instructions to the letter, was very straight forward. I was much relieved when I saw the login prompt. Don't be scared! Just make sure you have a backup of everything, just in case.
I had just bought a DLink DNS-323 with 1TB storage that is used as a primary storage device, with the LinkStation being the backup device. After all, it *only* has 500GB.
The primary root volume does not have sufficient space to install gnome so I had to move it. I was reluctant to resize the partition due to the sheer amount of data that would have to be restored.
So, this is how I proceeded (be careful not to reboot during these steps until needed):
1. Copy everything from /usr to /mnt/disk1/. Make sure you preserve all file right information.
- cp -a /usr/* /mnt/disk1/
2. Modify /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sda6 to /usr. Remove the old /dev/sda6 fstab entry and replace it with the one below. This will mean you'll need to redirect all your shares if already set up. Make sure you make a backup of the original fstab for recovery if things don't quite go right.
- cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.original
The fstab entry should be:
- /dev/sda6 /usr xfs,acl defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
3. Rename /usr to /oldusr. There may be some issues with processes that may be accessing /usr. I didn't have any problem with this, but you should be able to use fuser -m /usr to find out which process might be accessing that path.
- mv /usr /oldusr - can be deleted later.
4. Create a new mount point for the new /usr tree. I actually forgot this step. However, lb_worm's initrd helped to recover from that.
- mkdir /mnt
5. Reboot the LinkStation. You should, once reboot is complete, see the normal Debian login prompt. If you do not see the login prompt, something may be wrong with the steps above. You should easily be able to recover from these modifications by rebooting the LinkStation 3 times and it should drop in to the safe mode shell. At this point, recovery should be done like so:
- rm -rf /usr
- mv /oldusr /usr
- cp /etc/fstab.original /etc/fstab
- Reboot.
If this fails, I suggest getting on to the forums to see what can be done.
6. Next, you will need to move the apt working directory. The root volume will be too small for installing gnome. To do this:
- cp -a /var/cache/apt /usr/local/apt
- mv /var/cache/apt /var/cache/apt.old - can be deleted later.
- ln -s /usr/local/apt /var/cache/apt
7. Install gnome. This will take some time. Go make a cup of tea.
- apt-get install gnome
8. Modify /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.
- Below the section marked [Security] add the following:
- AllowRoot=1
- AllowRemoteRoot=1
- Below the section marked [xdmcp] add the following:
- Enable=1
9. Restart gdm:
- /etc/init.d/gdm restart
At this point, you should be able to launch xming and you will, hopefully, see the Debian login screen appear.
Current Status
I have also installed firefox.
Unfortunately, things don't quite seem right. I tried to open a gnome-terminal (not as root) and it would complain about not being able to create the child process. firefox, epiphany just never seemed to get working. As root, things behave differently, but still not quite right.
As to where to go from here, I am still exploring the reasons for the failures but could really do with some assistance.
What I've tried so far
- Installed a dummy X Server. apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy. Didn't make any difference.
- Installed locales. apt-get install locales and set a US based locale. Didn't make any difference.
- Searched the net for suggestions, made sure priviliges were set properly on /dev/pts and mounts were all ok, nothing made any difference.
- Installed kde. Works, but fails in slightly different ways. Shell will not open with a similar error to gnome-shell. So I removed it.
- Running epiphany with a url seems to work to some extent. For example, at the shell (logged in as root - this makes gnome-terminal work), typing in epiphany www.google.com works. However, opening up the default, debian, page fails.
I have had, what seem to be, kernel panics at a couple of points. None of the logs contain any useful information regarding this.
Update 12/08/08
I had bricked my box a while ago; however, I managed to recover it to the etch distribution I had before. I then performed an update to Lenny and updated the kernel to 2.6.26 (need to verify). Now everything seems to work fine. No crashes with X and performance within X is a lot better than before.

(Not sure if this is a good spot for this, move it if necessary fearless leader!)
Amazon link [1]
There's a pretty good sale going on at Amazon right now, though I'm not sure how long for. Several different appliances ranging in price.
Zojirushi Breadmaker Used to be $222US, now $171US
Waring Pro Food Dehydrator Used to be $95US now $50US
Sanyo 10 Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer, Used to be $100US, now $62US
And lots more
Hint: If you click the links just under the description of the event that say "Under $50", "$50-$100" and "Over $100" there are many more items.
Not jaw-dropping deals, but if you've been waiting on something, this could make it worth the money :)

Don't Throw Out That Jar! New Uses for Old Jars
I have to admit that I have been quite slow to jump on the "reuse" bandwagon when it comes to food packaging. Childhood cafeteria memories of sheepishly eating leftover spaghetti out of yogurt containers while friends showed off enviable prepackaged goods like "lunchables" and "snack-size Doritos" left their mark. However, time has healed many insecurities, and I've come to appreciate many thrifty ideals gleaned from my granola-nut parents. So much so, that I'm now guilty of selecting food goods based on the decorative weight of their containers for future uses. Glass jars clearly take the cake. Here are some new and old reasons to save a few...
• 1 & 2 Candle-filled jars outdoors make magical floating chandeliers. For a helpful how-to for achieving this look, check out Martha Stewart's instructions. They also make beautiful, simple center pieces for casual al fresco dining.
• 3 & 4 Suspended and filled with a bit of bait, they also make creatively stylish fly catchers, as demonstrated in Michele and Brad's recent house tour. For instructions on how to create your own fly trap, click here.
• 5 This idea is not new, but it never fails to win my heart. There are so many gorgeous options for flower containers found right in the pantry that I don't think I will ever buy a clear vase again.
• 6 Backyard BBQs don't have to mean mountains of disposable plastic cups. Jars are hardy, stylish alternatives.
• 7 & 8 Time capsules for vacation memories! We love this idea from Sherry of This Young House. Inspired by a mason jar collection in a Pottery Barn catalog, she decided to display her vacation memories by filling and labeling jars with mementos from places she and her husband visit.
• 9 I decided to disband our "junk drawer" a long time ago because no drawer organizer, however clever, could seem to keep it from becoming a chaotic jumble of keys, pens, batteries, etc. So I love Martha Stewart's idea of stashing small items like this sewing kit together in clear, not to mention cute, containers. For a how-to, check out her site's instructions. I could see this being a perfect solution for a craft room shelf where various craft supplies are grouped by type and jarred candy shop style.
• 10 Antique mason jars are often pretty enough to display on their own too.
And in case you missed these other creative uses for recycled jars, check out Danielle's post on a DIY stained glass window and Susie's post on jars-turned-picture frames.

Two Sites that Turn Your Library Photos into Videos
Here are two sites that make it easy to turn a set of library photographs into a fast and fun video to post on YouTube or share on your library website. How about trying one of these for Massachusetts Library Snapshot Day?
Both of these sites have lots of options for selecting photographs, including pulling in a set from Flickr. I find that it's easier to create a set of 12 – 18 selected photographs and put them into a set on Flickr to use for the video. Both sites are pretty simple to use, especially if you follow the instructions, and both keep adding new features, so I won't attempt to document them here, but here's a couple of examples using some of my library photographs.
Animoto — Animoto makes photo slideshows that somewhat resemble movie trailers. You select the images you want to use, choose a musical clip from the large assortment provided, and then let Animoto create the video. They match the music and the images to create various animated transition effects, and no two videos are alike. In fact, if you don't like your first attempt, you can let Animoto try again and you'll get something different. There are other options here — you can mix video clips in, add some words and upgrade to a Pro account for higher quality, longer videos, different styles and to remove the branding.
Animoto Overview — Check this page for more information on how to get started
Pummelvision was designed to do one thing only, but to do it well — it creates a rapid slideshow of a large group of photographs matched to a beat. There are few options here, although you do have two choices for the speed: fast or very fast.

How to claim tax credits
How to claim
You'll need to answer a few questions before you can order a tax credits claim form. You can do this by:
- using the online tool
- calling the Tax Credit Office
You could be fined up to £3,000 if you give wrong information.
If it looks like you qualify, you'll be able to order a claim form. It will take up to 2 weeks for the form to arrive.
You do not need a claim form to tell the Tax Credit Office about a change in your circumstances.
You cannot claim tax credits and Universal Credit at the same time.
If you call
If you call the Tax Credit Office, you'll be asked for some information and given an estimate of how much you'll get. You may be asked for:
- your National Insurance number (if you have one)
- your income for the last tax year
- details of any benefits you get
- details of any childcare payments
- the number of hours you work per week
Get help with your application
You'll be sent guidance notes with your claim form. You can also get help from the Tax Credit Helpline, your benefits office or from Citizens Advice.
Someone else can call the helpline to get general advice on your behalf, but they'll need to apply for authorisation to discuss your claim. If you want them to manage your payments, they'll have to become an 'appointee'.

As expected, the Center for Food Safety (CFS), along with a similar radical group, Earthjustice, has filed another lawsuit to try a second time to stop sales of Roundup Ready alfalfa planting seed.
They lost the first one in court and at USDA. RR alfalfa varieties are now being marketed nationwide.
The filing came with the typical fact-twisting hyperbolic news releases from CFS and quotes from its nefarious leaders.
It is interesting to dissect the so-called facts of the releases.
For example, CFS says that 93 percent of the alfalfa planted by U.S. farmers is grown without any herbicides, yet the unregulated release of RR alfalfa will put up to "23 million more pounds of toxic herbicides" into the environment.
What? If 93 percent of U.S. alfalfa is not treated with herbicides, as CFS states, then the market for RR alfalfa is only 7 percent of the 20 million acres of alfalfa in the U.S. or about 1.4 million acres. Why would a farmer who did not apply herbicides before, buy an herbicide-resistant alfalfa variety? That means CFS believes 23 million pounds of herbicides will be applied to 1.4 million acres That is some herbicide bill.
Andrew Kimbrell, CFS executive director, called the unregulated approval of RR alfalfa by USDA "reckless." The irony of that statement is the scrutiny of GMO alfalfa was unprecedented by the federal government and forced by CFS. CFS got the Environmental Impact Statement it wanted, but it did not like the results and is now whining and filing more lawsuits.
Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff once again revealed the real target of its pseudo environmental case, Monsanto, with his statement, "We expect Monsanto to force-feed people genetically engineered crops - that's its business model."
According to the news release, organic dairies stand to lose their source of organic feed. If a dairy — organic or otherwise — is feeding corn, soybeans or cottonseed, it already feeding GMO crops to animals since virtually 100 percent of those crops are genetically modified.
And of course CFS is looking out for the well-being of farmers. Andrew's brother, George, a CFS staff attorney, warned growers RR alfalfa "continues to be under a legal cloud." A second lawsuit just like the failed first one is hardly a legal cloud.
He says growers should be aware that new litigation has been filed and "the legality of this crop remains in question." There is no question in the mind of the federal government, which approved the unregulated release of RR alfalfa. I doubt the courts will go along with this newest complaint.
It was previously "banned for four-plus years by court order," he proclaims. It was not banned; it was stranded in bureaucratic purgatory thanks to the harassment lawsuit filed by CFS. More than 250,000 acres growing in the U.S. for the past four years hardly qualifies as a ban.
Yes, the first case went to the Supreme Court, as CFS likes to point out, where the high court threw out the lawsuit by a 7-1 vote.
CFS attorney George Kimberly tried to scare farmers away from buying RR alfalfa varieties for spring planting by saying, "If producers move forward despite having notice of ongoing and longstanding legal questions, then that's an assumed risk and an issue of contract that they can raise with Monsanto and whoever else they buy their GE (genetically engineered) seed from."
The first lawsuit did not scare off 5,000 growers who planted more than 250,000 acres with the first CFS suit. I doubt new customers will quiver in their boots this time. In all likelihood, growers will move quicker to get seed in the barn for spring or even fall planting on the chance CFS gets some dimwitted judge to go along with another harassing lawsuit. Thanks for the sales boost, George.

This is an experimental addon that basically loads pre-defined profiles and disables it's self. It also tracks which character has used it thanks to Nibelheim. I am unfortunately quitting wow as I'm posting this. I'm putting this out so that someone who finds it useful can use it.
I haven't seen something like this around so I figured I'd post it before leaving.
Again, this basically sets profiles for addons. However, you have to manually activate the profiles or use reflux to do it. There is a variable that I didn't get to implement but it's there called ProfileName, it's meant to be used in all of the Set functions who host the addon's DB.
Edit: Forgot to explain how to make it useful for you. Basically this addon injects those files found in the WTF folder. You just open one of the files in there, copy all of it then paste it into a Set function and tell it to wipe any DB (settings) it finds and put in the new info which you have pasted into the Set function.

The importance of Norco College's brand identity is paramount. The goal is to ensure the qualities identified in the brand identity statement are projected consistently in every item produced by the College. The graphic identity represents the image of Norco College and is the cornerstone in all communication efforts. This message must remain clear, singular, and consistent to build the identity which will differentiate Norco College from other colleges.
The Brand Positioning StatementNorco College is an innovative community college focusing on programs in emerging technologies within industry and the arts. Our supportive faculty and staff are proud to offer competitive academic and career technical programs in an accessible environment. We are invested in the success of our students and the communities we serve.
ConsistencyAs a newly accredited college, Norco College must begin to differentiate itself from how it was initially identified. It will take time to establish Norco College as an independent entity so that each time a constituent comes into contact with the brand, they will form the correct association as to who we are. As a newly named institution, it is vital that our new brand ties into our history of educational excellence and that it reflects our continued relationship as part of the three college system of Riverside Community College District. Therefore, what a constituent sees must be consistent each and every time the Norco College logos are used so that there is no confusion as to what Norco College is: an accredited higher education institution
DOWNLOAD FILES (zip)
The signature colors for Norco College are a critical element in fixing a consistent and recognizable look for the Norco identity. The primary color for the logo is burgundy. The logo must always be reproduced in this color or in black and white
This style guide has been developed to be an easy-to-use reference to ensure consistency in the use of Norco College's graphic identity. This guide will provide examples of how to use the logo, mark, and seal in both internal and external applications. Clear examples of how to use the graphic images and what is and is not acceptable in their use are contained in this document. Templates for many regularly used items are available on the Intranet site (only accessible within RCCD's network) and through the District Printing and Graphics Center. Any questions as to an application that is not covered in this style guide should be directed to the Office of Strategic Communications and Relations.

Kernel Command Line Arguments
From LinuxMIPS
- console
- The console settings. When using this option, you will need to specify the serial console port and baud rate. For example: console=ttyS0,38400 where ttyS0 is the serial console port and 38400 is the baud rate for the serial port. Another example: console=ttyS0,384008N1 where 8 is is data bits, N is odd parity and 1 is stop bits.
- maxcpus=<number>
- Allows to limit the number of processors to be used on a multiprocessor systems.
- nfsroot
- If the root filesystem for a board is mounted from a remote NFS server, this option can be used to specify the NFS server and the NFS filesystem. This option can be used as: nfsroot=<server-name>:<remote filesystem>. For example: nfsroot=10.0.0.139:/opt/mips_le_fs, where 10.0.0.139 is the NFS server name and /opt/mips_le_fs is the remote filesystem exported by the NFS server.
- nofpu
- Can be used to disable the FPU entirely. In this the kernel FPU emulation will take over floating point processing. Useful if a FPU is known to be defective, has accuracy problems and wrongly detected as present even though none exists.
- nosmp
- Disable SMP. Same as
- nowait
- Disable the use of the wait instruction for powersaving.
- rd_start
- The base address of a loaded ramdisk image. This option was added in Linux 2.6.10-rc2. See also rd_size.
- rd_size
- The size of a loaded ramdisk image. This option was added in Linux 2.6.10-rc2. See also rd_start.
- root
- This option is used to specify the root filesystem. For example, if the root filesytem resides on the second partition of a SCSI device /dev/sda, then this can be specified as: root=/dev/sda2. Similarly, when the root filesystem is mounted over NFS, root=/dev/nfs can be used.

The Benny Goodman Talent Agency
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
Benny Goodman was a huge influence on the jazz world in many ways. He ushered in the swing era, bringing jazz from shadowy clubs into the nation's spotlight and bringing fame to the musicians, like Gene Krupa, who played with him. He was an early integrator of jazz, inviting black musicians like Lionel Hampton to play with him regardless of the fact that segregated society still frowned upon such pairings. And he launched the musical careers of many who would go on to become legends themselves.
Today, 26 years after his death, we look at some of the musicians who had their first big break with Benny Goodman's band.
In 1931 Goodman heard a 16-year-old singer perform at New York club The Bright Spot. Two years later, that singer was ready to make her recording debut – with Goodman's band. The singer was Billie Holiday, and she recorded two songs with Goodman. "Riffin' the Scotch" became a hit… and a preview to a marvelous career.
Holiday went on to record a few songs with a pianist who would, himself, soon become an integral part of Goodman's band. Teddy Wilson had a definitive sound that was a great foil to Goodman's swingin' clarinet, and in 1935, Goodman broke segregation's barriers to put the young black man on stage and make him a permanent member of his trio. After several years with Goodman's band, Wilson went on to become a bandleader himself.
When Goodman saw Peggy Lee singing at Chicago's Buttery Room, he made her nervous with his intense stare. Lee thought the then-famous bandleader didn't like what he was hearing, but in fact, he was just concentrating hard – and, perhaps, thinking he had found his next singer. In 1941 Lee joined Goodman's band, and the collaboration soon produced her first No. 1 hit, "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place."
Goodman could be difficult to work with, and none of these musicians stayed with his band for a long time – after a few songs or a few years, they moved on to different things. But we're grateful for Goodman's eye for talent – and for his willingness to give future stars a chance to shine.

Police: Mom live-streamed son driving car on town roads
A Connecticut woman faces charges after allegedly letting her 10-year-old son drive her car while she streamed it all on Facebook
A Connecticut woman faces charges after allegedly letting her 10-year-old son drive her car while she streamed it all on Facebook
On any other day, Lisa Nussbaum might be lauded for not driving while on her cell phone.
But police said it was not a good idea for her to let her 10-year-old son drive the car while she was doing it.
The 38-year-old Nussbaum, of Monroe, Conn., was arrested Monday and charged with risk of injury to a minor. She was released on a promise to appear in court.
Reached Monday afternoon, Nussbaum hinted that there may be more to the story but declined comment.
Police said they received a number of calls from residents that they had seen a video posted on Nussbaum's Facebook account showing Nussbaum's son driving the car through a residential neighborhood.
Police said the video, which they viewed, was taken from the passenger seat of Nussbaum's Jeep Grand Cherokee.
In the video, police said they could hear Nussbaum giving her son directions as the boy, who did not appear to be wearing a seatbelt, drove the car at a moderate speed.
At one point police said they heard the boy exclaim, "This is fun."
Police said when they later confronted Nussbaum she admitted she let the boy drive.

Another high-ranking NBCUniversal executive is leaving.
This time it is Telemundo President Emilio Romano who is exiting after just two years in the top position at the Spanish-language network.
For Romano, the handwriting has been on the wall for awhile. NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke had hired two former high-ranking Univision executives who had been Romano's industry competitors. Joe Uva, who previously served as chief executive of Univision, was hired as chairman of NBCUniversal's Latino initiatives and content. That made Uva Romano's boss.

Oct. 16, 2004
CUMBERLAND, MAINE - John Brewer and Eric Khatchadourian finished fourth and fifth overall, respectively, and the MIT Engineers finished third in the team standings at the 2004 Twin Brook Cross Country Invitational. Tech also previewed its chances at another NEWMAC crown, by defeating four conference opponents in the 12-team field.
Although Ben Schmeckpeper, MIT's senior captain and the Twin Brooks course record-holder, was sidelined for Saturday's race, Brewer's continued improvement kept MIT in the team race. Brewer finished in 27:08, just four seconds off the runner-up finish on the slow and rolling course. Khatchadourian enjoyed one of his better efforts of the season with a fifth-place finish. Crossing the line in 27:15, Khatchadourian outkicked Matt Griego of Brandeis and Keene State's Joe Hegarty to secure his spot among the top five.
Keene State ran a full squad and surprised few with an impressive team victory. Scoring 49 points, Keene State cruised over No. 5 Tufts, who were obviously not at full strength. The Jumbos finished with 70 points, while the Engineers totaled 77. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy provided Tech with its stiffest conference competition, although the Bears finished fourth with 102 points.
Rounding out MIT's top five were Kevin Brulois (19th), Carlos Renjifo (21st) and Chris Bruce (28th).

Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The condition may spread to the eyes, mouth or throat. And it may spread to the genitals, urethra, or anus. The loss of skin allows fluids and salts to ooze from the raw, damaged areas and can easily become infected.
The symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms and health history. He or she may also ask what medicines your child has had recently. He or she will give your child a physical exam. Your child may also have tests, such as:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. If a medicine is causing the skin reaction, your child will stop taking it right away. The disease progresses fast, usually within 3 days. Your child will need to be treated in the hospital. He or she may be in the burn unit of the hospital. This is because the treatment is similar to treating a child with burns. Or your child may be treated in the intensive care unit (ICU).

"It was a great start for us," said head coach Bill Taylor. "Our middle distance and distance runners have only been doing mileage over the break. They haven't done any quality workouts at all. So the distance performances were on talent and guts and I felt the results were terrific.
"Our sprints and jumps are greatly improved this year and will make a big impact this season. Our athletes really fought hard in every race and set the tone for a terrific season to come. We did really well even though we sat a lot of our athletes and ran many just in relays this meet. We even had some all-time PR's already!"
Podium finishes highlighted the track & field events. Alex Jerkins picked up second and third place collegiate finishes respectively in the shot put and weight throw. Burton Elrod finished third among collegians in the shot put.
The women's Distance Medley Relay A and B teams finished second and third, while the men's Distance Medley Relay A team picked up a second place finish.
Third place podium finishes were also picked up by Xavier Conley in the long jump, and Louisa Van Batavia in the 3000m (which ended up being 2792m because the race was stopped a lap short).

The No. 2 Cal State San Bernardino women's volleyball team improved to 3-0, easily disposing of Alaska-Fairbanks this afternoon at Cal State Dominguez Hills. It wasn't as close as the 25-17, 27-25, 25-19 would seem to indicate as coach Kim Cherniss used all her players once she established a lead.
Sure it would have been nice to be playing in Hawaii as the Coyotes had planned but budget restrictions prevented them from going to an event there. It was nice of event organizers at Cal Poly Pomona to make room for them in this event close to home so they could get some matches in.
Coaches have to find a balance between experimenting with their lineups and playing to win. While conference games are more important, it is these that establish a pecking order and gives one school an edge over another when regional rankings are compiled.
Western Washington learned the hard way. The Vikings didn't make the regional playoffs last season despite finishing 21-3, placing second in their conference and having a national ranking. That was solely because their poor nonconference schedule.
So they remedied that this year, making the trip to California and playing San Bernardino and Cal State Los Angeles, top tier teams in the CCAA. And they did so even though they're rebuilding. If they don't make the regional, strength of schedule won't be the issue.
Seattle Pacific doesn't get it though. Sure it played a reloading Cal Poly Pomona. But it bucked the chance to play the Coyotes, something it may regret later. First off, what better time to possibly upset the Coyotes than early.
Second, you have nothing to lose. Even if you don't win it helps your strength of schedule. And if you happen to pull it out, that's a real bonus. It's a huge win over a regional foe that will garner you national attention and give you instant credability.
It would also help to play a quality team now that you very well could see down the line in the postseason. And the GNAC isn't the most competitive when it comes to volleyball so it should have seized the chance to play the Coyotes.
