I am currently living in Italy ,already applied for TEFL jobs . The sad fact is that I got plenty of opportunities but schools asked me to have a separate Italian Residence Permit or a work permit,and put me forward to the Foregin Affairs Office where I was told its impossible to obtain such a permit since I already have a STUDENT Residence permit stickerand cant obtain sticker of another EU country.On the other hand,school doesnt want to get involved and insists that they offer me the job as a freelance,so its all on me to obtain the work permit . :( Gosh Im feeling horrible seeing how many job opportunities Im losing just because of Work Permit:( Is there anyone to give me directions on what to do? I would be happy to even hear of a similar experience or anything else Frustrated me:(Last edited by Englishforall on Thu Nov 25, 2010 10:35 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top spiral78Joined: 05 Apr 2004Posts: 11514Location: On a Short Leash Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 7:31 am Post subject: A residence permit in one EU member country does not mean that you can work in any other EU country. You can only work in the one country that issued the sticker. I have permanent residency in the Czech Rep, and I can always work here, but without Czech CITIZENSHIP, I cannot work in other EU countries where Czechs can. You would have to be a citizen of Switzerland for their opportunities in other countries to be available to you. You are in the exact same boat as any other non-EU member citizen trying to get a legal work permit for Italy. You most probably simply are not eligible. In fact, if you've been in Italy for more than 90 days, you are probably liable for fines and deportation for having overstayed under Schengen zone laws (google this if you're not familiar). You're living and trying to work illegally, I'm afraid. My best advice is to go back to Switzerland ASAP.

Back to top spiral78Joined: 05 Apr 2004Posts: 11514Location: On a Short Leash Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 11:12 am Post subject: Your student visa must be dated with an entry stamp. The date you entered the zone is the one they will look at. If it was more than 90 days ago, you'd better be in Switzerland where you are legal. Changing countries inside the zone does not restart your 90 days. You do not get 90 days per country - you get 90 inside the zone overall - then you have to leave for 90. Also, just crossing a non-Schengen border and getting a new stamp will not restart the 90 days (as of Jan 2009). The ways to be caught overstaying the 90 days while you are in Italy will involve whatever officials are in the region where you are. They obviously know that you've been making inquiries about visas and jobs. If you're paying rent somewhere, or get a bank account and/or an (illegal) job, they can pick up on it. If you happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, police and/or hospital staff can also ask questions. Penalites are deportation to your home country and up to a 10 year ban on reentering the zone. I've never heard of a penalty longer than 2 years so far, but I do know of people who have been deported to their home countries.

In this case there is no limit of stay anywhere in Schengen zone ,right? No. How would I 'notice' this? I'm not an official and have not seen your documents. BUT - you are wrong that residency in Switzerland gives you the right to live in other countries in the Zone. As I said, I have permanent residency in the Czech Rep, but this does NOT give me the right to live and work in any Schengen zone country EXCEPT the CR. Your situation is the same. You are legal in Switzerland, but not in other Schengen zone countries. This is why you cannot get a legal work permit for Italy. I think you need to seriously consider the legalities here and make a decision to go back to where you have a legal right to be. do some further research - online should do. Go ask the Italian officials if your residency permit in Switzerland allows you to live and work in Italy.

Just concerned that you are running legal risks. It's surprising that you are here with so little knowledge of the legal requirements. They are really quite strict for non-EU teachers. I know because I am one!! But I have always been careful to work legally only, because I don't want to be at risk of the penalties. Back to top Teacher in RomeJoined: 09 Jul 2003Posts: 1286 Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 1:06 pm Post subject: Just to add to all this - it's the schools that you need to convince, not us! Italian employers are equally as culpable if they offer you a job knowing that you're not legally entitled to work. They're not going to take that risk unless they're desperate! So you either find someone desperate to take you on (and you both run risks of fines, you might get deported, you certainly don't have any legal recourse if things go wrong) or you find a way to get legal. And there are ways (none quick or convenient) - just go back through this forum to find out what best suits your situation.

BABSON PARK, Mass. - MIT outscored host Babson College, 45-19, in the second half, including a 31-6 run to close the game, to earn a 72-45 victory over the Beavers in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball matchup at Staake Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Engineers, ranked 15th in the nation in the most recent D3hoops.com poll, improve to 13-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference, while Babson drops its second in a row to fall to 5-7 overall and 0-2 in the NEWMAC.
Sophomore Noel Hollingsworth was a monster in the paint for MIT, scoring 37 points on 17-of-26 shooting, including 20 points on a 9-of-10 clip in the second half. The 6-foot-9 sophomore also blocked three shots and dished out three assists. First year Jimmy Burke added 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including a 4-for-5 mark from three-point range, and first-year Mitchell Kates finished a solid all-around performance with 11 points, five assists, and five steals. First-year Ben Montgomery was the game's high rebounder with seven off the bench for the Engineers.
Ten different players scored points for Babson, but no Beavers reached double figures. First year Russell Braithwaite and sophomore Marcus Edwards led the way with eight points apiece, while junior Dana Mauro scored six points. First-year Alex Rudolph led the Beavers with five rebounds in the loss.
Neither team was able to pull away in a very evenly played first half, which saw MIT enter the break with a slim 27-26 advantage. The Engineers then increased their lead to six at 41-35 just over five minutes into the second half, but Edwards scored four straight to pull Babson back to within two at 41-39.
From there the contest would be all MIT, which erupted for a 21-2 run over an eight minute stretch to put the game away. After Hollingsworth scored six unanswered points to give the Engineers 47-39 cushion, first-year Peter Foley hit a jumper in the paint to cut the Beavers' deficit to six with 10:21 remaining. However, Babson would not score again until the 3:39 mark, as MIT scored 15 straight to build a commanding 62-41 lead. The Engineers eventually inflated their advantage to as many as 28 before grabbing the 72-45 win.
With Hollingsworth leading the way, MIT shot an incredible 73.9 percent (17-23) from the field in the second half while also hitting 81.8 percent (9-11) of their free throw attempts. At the other end, Babson was held to a 27.3 percent (6-22) clip from the field.

Imagine a urban battlefield. 2 armies battling. Army A is attacking the hugesome building and must destroy it to win. Army B must defend it at all costs.
Army A is almost completely destroyed, they have got only 1 trooper left, a sniper, who's standing on the roof of a building right next to the objective building (let's say, OB). What will he do?
With its player turning crazy, he decides to just shoot the building. He rolls a 2 for skill, when he needed 5. But since the OB is huge and awesome, he gets that bonus to skill so its fire hits the target.
OB is a Lvl 7 structure, so it gets 7d10 armor. On the rolls, it gets a relatively low total number of 35.
Then the sniper fires. The sniper rifle has 2d6 damage. When Player A rolls the dice, he gets an incredibly lucky roll, ending up with 45 on total!
Using this alternative set of rules, if the number of st, lvls lost is found by doing [damage - armor], then the OB would lose 10 structure points, more than the 7 it already has [45 - 35 = 10].
This would mean that the building would collapse due to one sniper shot.
Is this enough to reject that underlined rule, even if being totally fun wehn you get extremely lucky?
PS: I think jifel suggested it.
PPS: Army A would have won.

Quebec Graduate Programs On-Campus Graduate Degrees & Graduate Schools
If pursuing a masters degree, doctorate degree or graduate certificate is on your radar, you may want to consider traditional campus-based graduate programs. Working towards an on-campus graduate degree may be a great way to expand not only your skills and knowledge, but also your professional and personal networks. Find a graduate school close to your home, in another state, city, or country on our directory.
What is Graduate School?
Graduate school encompasses advanced programs of study – graduate programs – that are focused on a specific academic discipline (e.g. business) or profession (e.g. engineering). Graduate schools may be academically oriented where the focus is on generating original research in one's field of study. Or, a graduate school may be professionally oriented where the emphasis is on developing skills and knowledge for a specific profession. Alternatively, it may be both. Either way, graduate schools offer Masters degrees, doctoral degrees, post-baccalaureate and post-master's graduate certificates. In other words, education beyond the Bachelors degree.
How Many Years is Graduate School?
Often the time it takes to 'finish' graduate school is dependent on the graduate programs themselves. Given that graduate program lengths vary, the following is an estimate;
- Masters degree might take 1 to 3 years beyond the Bachelors degree.
- Professional Doctorate (e.g. DBA) might take 3 to 6 years.
- Research Doctorate (PhD) might take 5 to 7 years.
- Graduate Certificate might take about one year.
Why Choose On-Campus Graduate Programs?
While it is true that distance-learning might provide a portable learning environment (have lap-top, will travel) on-campus graduate programs offer in-person learning, which has its own distinct features:
- Earning a graduate degree on campus may offer the opportunity to develop
- communication skills, team building and leadership skills
- On-campus graduate programs might foster relationships and or mentorship opportunities
- Graduate schools with on-campus programs may encourage community
- Graduate schools may have facilities such as athletics, libraries, alumni groups, places to eat, career counseling, health care
- Learn through demonstration, live lectures and hands-on laboratory work.
- You may be able to find an evening program, one that meets on weekends or is offered part-time
Graduate Studies vs. Undergraduate Studies
Compared to an undergraduate degree, a graduate degree may entail:
- A highly concentrated course of study in a specific discipline
- Students may have comprehensive exams and rigorous examinations
- Class size may be smaller, and emphasis may be placed on team building or group projects
- Graduate programs may be oriented to leadership, management, research
- Some graduate degree programs may entail work experience via internships, supervised teaching, or research
- Conducting and contributing original knowledge and findings is often required
- Some graduate programs may focus on case analysis and practical application of knowledge, as opposed to general or basic theory.
What Campus-Based Graduate Degrees Are Available?
On-Campus graduate degrees are available in many subjects and come in three levels:
- Graduate certificates,
- Masters degrees,
- Doctorate degrees.
On our site, we list graduate programs by category. Opening a category might give you a list of sub-specialties under a separate 'subject selection' menu. From there, you can refine by the degree level.
- On Campus Business graduate programs
- On-Campus Criminal Justice and Legal graduate programs
- On-Campus Education graduate programs
- On-Campus Fine Arts and Design graduate programs
- On-Campus Health and Medicine graduate programs
- On-Campus Liberal Arts & Humanities graduate programs
- On-Campus Math, Science and Engineering graduate programs
- On-Campus Public Affairs and Social Sciences graduate programs
- On-Campus Religious Studies graduate programs
- On-Campus Technology graduate programs
Campus-Based Graduate Certificates
Campus-based graduate certificate programs offer highly focused courses in a non-degree program. A grad certificate may add onto existing credentials or prepare for a future graduate degree where program credits can be transferred.
Campus-Based Masters Degrees
Master's degrees are offered in many fields of study, with possibly more choice in campus-based graduate programs than is the case with online masters programs. Some Masters degree programs are designed to lead to a doctoral degree while others are the "terminal" degree for a profession (e.g. Master of Business Administration, Master of Accounting, Master of Fine Arts).
Campus-Based Doctorate Degrees
Doctoral degrees are the highest attainable degrees. They usually require the generation of new knowledge or theory via independent research - be it basic or applied (e.g. Doctor of Business Administration, Doctor of Psychology, Doctor of Nursing Practice). Specialist degrees are generally earned in addition to a master's degree and do require additional coursework, training, or internship experience. This type of grad degree usually prepares students for professional certification or licensing requirements (e.g., Ed.S. for school principal or school psychologist).
Accreditation for Graduate Programs & Graduate Schools
In the United States, accreditation is the process where a private, nonprofit organization reviews the quality of a university and/or its programs for quality assurance and quality improvement. Per the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), there are four types of accrediting organizations[i];
- Regional accreditors: Accredit public and private, mainly nonprofit and degree-granting, two- and four-year institutions.
- National faith-related accreditors: Accredit religiously affiliated and doctrinally based institutions, mainly nonprofit and degree-granting.
- National career-related accreditors: Accredit mainly for-profit, career-based, single-purpose institutions, both degree and non-degree.
- Programmatic accreditors. Accredit specific programs, professions and freestanding schools, e.g., law, medicine, engineering and health professions.
When evaluating a graduate school or a graduate degree program, many accreditation agencies have databases of current members.
Why Consider a Graduate Degree?
Pursuing a graduate degree on campus may be an opportunity to conduct research, learn technical skills, or prepare for licensure in career paths where it is required for professional practice.
Individuals might work towards a graduate degree for a wide variety of personal and professional reasons and goals;
- Potential to expand employment opportunities, especially for career paths that require a graduate degree for entry-level positions
- Potential for career advancement
- Personal research interests
- Credibility and professional recognition
- Preparation for professional practice and licensure (e.g. Psychology, Law, Medicine)
DID YOU KNOW? "Occupations that typically require a master's degree for entry are projected to grow the fastest, 18.4 percent, from 2012 to 2022. This growth is largely a result of the concentration of these occupations in the fast-growing healthcare and social assistance industry, which is projected to add a combined 255,000 of the 448,500 new jobs in occupations requiring a master's degree"[ii]
Find Accredited Graduate Schools with On-Campus Graduate Degrees
Find accredited graduate schools with on-campus graduate degrees by location. Once you have chosen a category (e.g.) business, refined be specialty (e.g. finance), narrowed it down by degree level (e.g. Master) you might look for campus Master of Finance degrees in a specific city, state or country. The same process can be used for any subject.

GEORGETOWN, Texas—Led by junior Kevin Kegarise with 16 points, the No. 19 Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team won its sixth straight game with an 81-62 victory on the road against Southwestern University, Friday evening.
BSC moves to 13-1 overall and 5-1 in the SCAC, while the Pirates fall to 1-13 overall and 2-3 in conference play.
Southwestern surprised BSC by jumping out to a 10-0 lead to begin the game, but the Panthers responded with 11 straight points to go up 11-10. The game was close and back-and-forth after that, with the teams playing to six ties, including a 28-28 score at halftime.
The teams played to three more ties in the first eight minutes of the second half, with the last tie (43-43) coming at the 12:35 mark. The Pirates pulled ahead by two after that on a pair of free throws, and BSC responded with a three-pointer from Kegarise to take over the lead for good, 46-45, with 11:46 left to play.
BSC kept a modest lead for the next eight minutes, never leading by more than seven, and with SU cutting it to one, twice. With 4:13 left, the Panthers led 70-62 and proceeded to score 11 unanswered points to end the game, holding the Pirates scoreless during that time.
Kegarise led all players with 16 points, followed by senior Jasen Jonus with 14, senior Caleb Lee with 11, and sophomore Griffin Schamp with 10. Junior Zac Richards led with eight rebounds, and sophomore Jason Holland led with five assists and three steals.
The Panthers shot 55.3 percent (26-of-47) for the game, 45.8 percent (11-of-24) from three-point range, and 64.3 percent (18-of-28) from the free throw line. The Pirates did not fare as well, hitting 35.7 percent (20-of-56) overall, 22.7 percent (5-of-22) from beyond the arc, and 63 percent (17-of-27) at the line.
BSC out-rebounded SU 40-31, but also committed two more turnovers than the Pirates with 24.
The Panthers are back in action tomorrow at 8 p.m. CT, taking on Trinity University in San Antonio.

Smoky eyes are like red stilettos: they draw in all the guapos. If you haven't tried one by now, here's your shot. Master it, and look super sexy like Jessica Alba did at the Met Gala. Avon Global Celebrity Makeup Artist Lauren Andersen gave us the how-to.
To complement Jessica Alba's Tory Burch gown, Andersen went for a sultry smoky eye while keeping the rest of her makeup to a minimum—a big must when going heavy on the eyes.
Use Jolen Cream Bleach for for you eyebrows. Shade your eyelids with Bobbi Brown Metallic Long Wear Cream Shadow in Chrome Patina. Go for a grey liner like Avon Mega Impact Eyeliner in Grey Slate and finish off with two coats of Avon Super Extend Infinitize Mascara.
Jessica is wearing YSL Foundation and Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Earthen Rose Avon Totally Kissable on her face, and Avon Totally Kissable lipstick in Natural Glow.

From New Yorkers to Tourists With Love
The week between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve is often peak tourist season. And in preparation, a NYC etiquette expert dishes the do's and dont's for visitors.
For many New Yorkers, there are a few key places to avoid at all costs during the holidays – like Rockefeller Center or Herald Square. But the most famous – or the infamous to the locals – is Times Square, where many will agree some of the worst acts of tourism occur.

Here is another Indian scrambled egg breakfast that is much less piquant than the Punjabi-style scrambled eggs that I made last week, but has the warm, earthy fragrance of fried mushrooms and scallions that makes it a nourishing, delicious and colorful plate on a cold autumn morning, wonderful with buttered toast and some fresh fruit. Like many of the simple dishes that I like to make, this recipe — called "khumbi wala khichri unda" — is taken with only minor modifications from Madhur Jaffrey's wonderful World Vegetarian Cookbook.

- In agricultural use sites and crop areas, do not exceed a total of 5.8 qt Touchdown Total/A, equivalent to 6 lb glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.
- In nonagricultural use areas, do not exceed a total of 7.6 qt Touchdown Total/A equivalent to 8 lb glyphosate acid equivalents per acre per year.
- Do not exceed 0.7 qt/A per application for applications made with aerial application equipment.
- For broadcast postemergence treatments, do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks following application, unless otherwise specified.
- Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift, or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants, or other areas on which treatment was not intended. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. Avoid applying at excessive speed or pressure.
- Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner after each use.
- There are no rotational crop restrictions following application of this product.
- Touchdown Total requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (e.g., mowed, cut, or hailed on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases may result in reduced weed control.
- Touchdown Total does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Weeds emerging after application will require retreatment.
- Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment.
- Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control.
- Touchdown Total is not volatile and cannot move as a vapor after application onto nontarget vegetation.
- Spray solutions of Touchdown Total should be mixed, stored, and applied using only plastic, plastic-lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate should not be stored in galvanized steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or unlined steel containers.
- Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of Touchdown Total to any vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non–woody roots, or fruit) of crops, trees, and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as specified for glyphosate–tolerant crops.
Touchdown Total contains glyphosate which inhibits 5 enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS, Site of Action Group 9). Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 herbicides.
Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides or lower than labeled use rates in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype may be present where poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance.
General principles of herbicide resistant weed management:
- Employ integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide sites-of-action with overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
- Use the full labeled herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest to control weed species present in the field.
- Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved. Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
- Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
- Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or tillage in combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
- Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
- Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness.
Touchdown Total should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. Generally, more effective control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seedhead stage. Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, for specific application timing.
When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3-4 inches of new growth to appear prior to application.
When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed, allow new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application.
Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity.
Follow specified rates for Touchdown Total listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections. Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures when weed vegetation is dense.
- Preventing drift is the responsibility of the applicator. Applications should not be made in low level inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or under any other conditions which favor drift. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer. Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which treatment is not intended.
- Compatibility with drift control additives may vary. Use the jar test to determine the compatibility of the combination.
Read and follow manufacturer's directions for use. A reduction in weed control may occur when drift control agents are used.
- All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues after use.
Make ground applications in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre.
When foliage is dense, spray volume should be increased to ensure coverage of the target weeds. Flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Touchdown Total. Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target weeds. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage.
Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
Make aerial applications in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and flight safety. Apply at a height no more than 10 ft above the canopy.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by using the appropriate spray boom pressure. Solid stream or low shear nozzles may be utilized to reduce small droplet formation. These nozzles direct the fluid parallel to the existing airflow to reduce shear effects. Other techniques may include reducing the fan angle of flat fan nozzles if used, or reducing the deflector plate angle if deflector type nozzles are used. Ensure the spray is released at an appropriate distance below the airfoil.
For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably pattern tested for aerial application of Touchdown Total initially and every year thereafter. To minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment produce the following minimum spray deposition characteristics:
Volume Median Diameter (VMD) › 400 microns
Volume Diameter (VD) {0.9} › 200 microns
Prolonged exposure of Touchdown Total to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and possible failure of the part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413 may prevent corrosion. To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove residues of Touchdown Total accumulated during spraying or from spills. Landing gears are most susceptible. For aerial application in California, refer to the Federal Supplemental Label for aerial application for specific instructions, restrictions, and requirements. For aerial application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional requirements for aerial treatments. Banvel tank mixtures may not be applied by air in California. Do not make direct applications to any body of water.
Use shielded/hooded sprayers to control weeds between rows while protecting the crop from the herbicide. Keep shields/hoods as close to the ground as possible and avoid ground speed in excess of 5 mph. Use appropriate nozzles, spacing, and pressure to achieve coverage without allowing spray to touch or drift onto the crop. Maintain equipment in good operating condition to prevent leakage or dripping onto the crop. Refer to state extension service recommendations and equipment manufacturers' guidelines for more information on proper operation of shielded/hooded sprayers.
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.4 to 0.7% v/v solution. For annual weeds over 6 inches, use a 0.7 to 1.1% v/v solution. Use a 0.7 to 1.5% v/v solution for most perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray equipment (rider bar), use a 2.2% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for rates of Touchdown Total/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21 days later if regrowth occurs.
Touchdown Total may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator (e.g., rope, sponge, or porous plastic applicators) for selective control or suppression of annual and perennial weeds which become taller than the crop or desirable vegetation. Mix 3 qt of Touchdown Total in 2 gallons of water unless directed otherwise in the label (see Use Restrictions and Precautions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines). Precautions should be taken to prevent contact with crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should be operated at speeds of 5 mph or less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For improved control, make two applications in opposite directions.
Injection Systems
Touchdown Total may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be used as a liquid concentrate or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Do not mix Touchdown Total with the undiluted concentrate of other products when using injection systems unless specifically directed.
For control of annual weeds with hand held equipment, apply a 20% solution of Touchdown Total at a flow rate of 2 fl oz per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 mph (1 qt/A). For perennial weeds, use a 20 to 30% solution of Touchdown Total at a flow rate of 2 fl oz per minute and a walking speed of 0.75 mph (2 to 3 qt/A). For vehicle mounted equipment, apply in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre. Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, for application rates and timing.
Precautions should be taken to prevent contact with crops or desirable vegetation.
Refer in the label for tank mix information.

Region 12, which encompasses seven states-Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North and South Carolina-holds a Youth Jamboree each June for children and teens up to 18 years of age who want to learn more about horses, their care, and how to ride them. 2009 was the 21st year that the region has conducted this event.
Mary Alice Hudson, manager of the Youth Jamboree, is the Youth Coordinator for Region 12, and has been involved with this project for most of its 21 years.
"We had approximately 65 kids at Youth Jamboree this year," Hudson said, "and some of the best volunteers ever," she added.
Over the years, trainers and clinicians from the region have volunteered their time and expertise, this year including: Catie Flattich, Carolyn Hansen (over fences), Jane Garrison, Robin Ginn (dressage), Cyndi Gall (trail, western pleasure, and showmanship), and Jackie Edmunds (showmanship and saddleseat). Trainer Dale Brown also volunteered his services for a day.
For the past two years, the Jamboree has been held at T. Ed Garrison arena in Clemson, SC. Western Carolinas (WCAHA), a Region 12 club whose members span the Upstate of North and South Carolina, sponsored Pizza night on Thursday, and hosted games and other activities for Jamboree participants. WCAHA also funded two scholarships to the Jamboree through an essay contest open to its youth members.
Over the five-day Jamboree, participants (many of which are first-time riders) learn about basic horse care such as grooming and braiding, choosing proper tack and tacking up a horse, and setting up a dressage ring or a trail course.
In addition, discipline clinics are held for every discipline with the exception of driving. The main purpose of the Jamboree is to educate the children so they can go home and enjoy safe and fun horse-related activities such as trail riding or participating in local or rated horse shows.
The event culminated in two shows at which participants could ride or present their horses. Classes in dressage, over fences, halter, and sport horse under saddle were offered, and open to all breeds. On the last day, a rated Arab show was held.

It can be the most wonderful time of the year — as long as you're fully prepared.
After a summer of fun, remembering everything you need to get your kids ready for the new school year can take creative thinking and a lot of patience.
But with the stress of preparing the basics such as a backpack and stationary, it's easy to overlook the less obvious things that make life easier.
Mother of two Tracie Wagman, publisher of Help! We've Got Kids, an online resource of family-friendly services in multiple cities across Canada, knows how to get her kids off to a sleek start.
"There is lots to do," says Wagman. "I always check that clothes fit, and a haircut is one not everyone thinks about, but you may not have time to do it afterwards. There might be people with kids who need EpiPens and asthma medications who might want to double check — have they expired?"
She also recommends updating emergency contacts. "They may have changed even from last year — then there's before and after school childcare, that's easy to forget. You're worried about school and when it starts, but what is your kid going to do at 3:30 when they get out and you're working?"
Homework prep is important, adds Wagman. Kids don't like it, but activity books or prep classes could benefit academic achievement. Reorganize bedrooms to make space for homework, do a dry run of the route, let kids practise eating within a timeframe, and break lazy summer mornings by waking up early now.
For 9-year-old blogger Hannah Alper of Richmond Hill, Ont., her back to school shopping list has one aim – to be eco-friendly.
On her blog, callmehannah.ca, she visited Staples and listed eco-friendly items for people heading out to shop. However, her biggest tip is to reuse.
"People should look out for things they have already that they can reuse," says Hannah. "Reusing is even more important than recycling. Recycling is really expensive. The trucks, the factories, the machines that they use cost a lot of money and use a lot of energy "¦ Things that you can probably reuse are your backpack and lunch bag, binders, rulers, pencil sharpener, scissors, and pencil case."
Her favourite item is a sugarcane notebook. "After the sugar is used to make sugar, the waste of the sugarcane is made into pulp which is made into paper, and that helps save trees," she says.
With the first day of term creeping closer, this week is the perfect time to start, says Wagman.
"There's a lot of mixed emotions at this time. You might have had the summer off and had quality time with kids and been more relaxed, and it's nice, because everybody gets back into a routine again, but it's also stressful," says Wagman. "You want to make sure they have everything they need, and that they sign up for everything, but you don't have to get overwhelmed by it. If they go to school that first day and only have one pencil, that's all they need. You don't need to go crazy.
"Just make sure you have a list, and what you need to make it easier on yourself."
Budgeting tips:
- Reuse to save waste.
- Buy multi-packs of stationary and share between kids.
- See if after-school programs are cheaper through the city.
- Buy reusable containers for lunches.
- Look for homework preparation online.
- Share childcare with another parent.
- Don't spend much on notebooks and binders – they're easily damaged, and might need replacing again.
- Look for gear at gently used kids clothing shops such as Once Upon A Child and check for used equipment at Play It Again Sports for equipment.
- Order labels with just your last name to share among the family.
Back-to-school to-do's
- Do clothes/shoes/sports equipment fit? Are they labelled?
- Update emergency contacts.
- Arrange before-and-after-school childcare.
- Check medication expiration.
- Practise the early start.
- Do a dry run of the route.
- Practice eating within a time frame.
- Prepare a calendar and ask for a list of extra-curricular activities.
- Practice tying up laces, putting on new gear.
- Reorganize bedrooms to fit a homework area.
- Get a list of new classmates and organize play dates the week before term.

If you meet eligibility requirements, Medicaid may help pay for nursing home care. Each state determines its own standards and requirements. In most cases, qualified residents are required to make a co-payment that consists of their monthly income (Social Security check, pension, etc.), less a personal allowance. However, the amount you are required to pay is determined by your local Medicaid office.
To learn more about Medicaid coverage and enrollment, contact our admissions coordinator or a social worker. Or you can visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website and click on the desired state for specific contact information.

Masaki's issue with Kazuya lies not with the fact that Kazuya lost his virginity before him. It's Kazuya's ability to attract people around him in front of Masaki. If you observe Masaki's behavior, the only guy hanging around with him is Kazuya. Even when they did that job with four people for the class, he looked pretty distant in the group.
I think the fact that Kazuya drifted away from Masaki in the years after high school (during that party in the flashback, he had that lonely expression) made Masaki go nuts as Kazuya was his final bond but even he vanished in his life.
While Kazuya is restoring his bonds and past mistakes, this will actually accelerate Masaki's frustration and jeaulousy with Kazuya.

Then won't it better for him to eliminate him?
If he knows that guy will kill him in the near future then all he needs to do is prepare himself...
Though some events could be altered, him getting beat up by that person seems destined to happened...
Though it only differs in place and time... and this time around, he didn't screw the girlfriend...

I think he'd be destined to fail if he tried to attempt to eliminate Masaki. Remember, Kazuya's life right now is simular to that of a galge game, the only way out towards the good end is to take the right choices.
This time however, the event will happen again with Masaki attempting to kill Kazuya but my guess is that Kazuya's strong link with his friends will be set in motion to prevent his death. Kazuya at that point will find out the root of the problem, send Masaki to a psychologist en lead a life with everyone happy.

Well the event of the story so far remind us of some Greek myths involving oracles and pips trying to change the said fate only to fulfill the prophesy and their fates kicking them in their ass...
What he is doing is the same as those character in the stories. Trying to alter their fate by changing the course of history ergo he'll die like the characters of the story...
If he can't eliminate him then he should just prepare himself like preparing food supply and such in an incoming storm...
So if the jerk tries to kill him, he is ready to defend himself and survive the said ordeal...

CHICORA — A 27-year-old mother of two is in the Butler County Prison today after she was arrested Wednesday on charges she lied when she notified Chicora Elementary School officials that her ex-boyfriend was headed there with a gun to pick up their son.
Ashley Rea Soose's telephone call shortly after noon was enough for the principal to immediately place the school on lockdown, authorities said.
Students and staff were shuttered inside the school on Route 68 for about an hour during which time state troopers arrived and stopped the man. However, he had no gun.
Eight hours later with the police investigation wrapped up, District Judge Lewis Stoughton arraigned Soose on two counts of terroristic threats, a felony.
Soose of Fairview Township also is charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. She remains in the Butler County Prison on $50,000 bail.
According to Superintendent Eric Ritzert of the Karns City School District, the incident began about 12:15 p.m. when Soose called the elementary school saying her former boyfriend was on his way to take their child and she feared he might be armed.
After principal Shane Spack hung up from the phone call with her, he put the school in lock down. Police were notified about 12:30 p.m.
Troopers within minutes of arriving stopped the man and took him into custody about 1 p.m. It turned out he had no gun.
About 1:30 p.m., the school returned to normal operation.
"From the school's side, we reacted appropriately based on what we were told," Ritzert said.
He added that the school district also got to use its emergency alert system for purposes other than weather-related delays and closures.
About 1:20 p.m., family members of students were notified of the situation via phone call, text or e-mail through the automated alert system that's been in place at the district for several years.

Apocrypha may have different meanings depending on how it is applied to the Old or New Testaments and whether it is being used by Catholics, Protestants or Orthodox Christians.
Old Testament
The Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical Books are books of the Old Testament that are accepted by the Orthodox Christian Church but are not accepted by Protestants.
The word Deuterocanonical comes from the Greek words Deutero and canona meaning "second canon." The word apocrypha comes from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφα, meaning "hidden." According to Orthodox teaching they may be read for personal edification but are not authoritative for doctrine. They are included in the Orthodox Bible because they were included in the Septuagint which was in use at the time of Jesus.
The Books of the Apocrypha
- I Esdras
- The portion of II Esdras called the "Prayer of Manasseh"
- Tobit
- Judith
- Portions of Esther
- Wisdom of Solomon
- Wisdom of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
- Baruch
- Epistle of Jeremiah
- The portions of Daniel:
- Psalm 151
- I Maccabees
- II Maccabees
- III Maccabees
- IV Maccabees
The Psalms are also numbered and divided up differently.
The Apocrypha in Roman Catholicism and Protestant churches
In an Orthodox Bible which has the Apocrypha there are 49 books in its Old Testament. Roman Catholics only accept seven Deuterocanonical books, so their Old Testament has a total of 46 books. Protestants do not accept the Apocrypha so in their Old Testament they only have 39 books. All 3 accept the same 27 books of the New Testament.
New Testament
Books of the apostolic times that were not included in the canon of scripture, but may have reputed apostolic or prophetic authorship, are also called Apocrypha. These writings of the early Christian church give accounts of the teachings of Jesus, aspects of the life of Jesus, accounts of the nature of God, or the teachings of his apostles and of their lives. These writings often have links with those books which are regarded as canonical.
At the turn from the first century, many false writings about Christ were produced. These were the so-called apocryphal writings (not to be confused with the Old Testament apocrypha), also called pseudoepigrapha. These false writings carried the names of the apostles and introduced into Christian circles many fanciful and legendary stories about the childhood of Christ, the life of the Virgin Mary and the activities of the apostles.
With the pseudoepigrapha, there also appeared the false teachings of gnosticism, the Christian heresy which transformed Christianity into a kind of spiritualistic, dualistic, intellectualistic philosophy. The Christians of the Orthodox faith had to contend with these false teachings.

Patents Have Become The Nuclear Stockpiling Of The Software Industry
from the select-mutually-from-assured-where-destruction dept
Marten Mickos, CEO of mySQL, has written a piece over at Always-On, explaining (accurately) that the software patent game these days is the equivalent of nuclear stockpiling. You build up as many patents as you can, because you know the competition is, too, and you'll need them to fight off any patent battle. It doesn't need to be this way. In fact, it shouldn't be this way, because all it's doing is slowing down innovation and diverting money away from development to lawyers. Mickos uses the database industry as an example. In the days before software patents, plenty of people took the relational database ideas of Edgar Codd (totally random aside: I had a database professor in college who had the bumper sticker: "Codd is God" in honor of Mr. Codd) and built up a thriving industry, including the standardization of SQL, on which the entire industry is based. While he doesn't say it specifically, the clear implication is that in a world of software patents, that situation wouldn't have existed. Letting everyone build their own implementations based on the idea of relational databases and the standards of SQL allowed a thriving, competitive industry to develop. Copyright laws protect the code. However, when we patent ideas, the first person to come up with the "idea" of a relational database could have patented it -- and simply stopped the competition from happening without coughing up license fees to IBM. As we've said before, innovation is more important than invention. By allowing the inventor to patent an entire concept, it kills the ability to innovate, harming the entire economy.

General Assembly creates its own gun-violence task force
Connecticut lawmakers on Tuesday joined the race to prevent another Newtown shooting by creating a Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety Task Force.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy already has created an advisory commission; New York state passed new gun control legislation on Tuesday; and President Barack Obama will announce gun control and safety proposals today.
Some Connecticut prevention measures will be quick and others will take time, legislators said.
"We are the State of Connecticut. We are the ones that suffered this tragic loss, and we are the ones that have to deal with it," state Rep. Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, said. "We are responsible and responsive to our constituents, and I don't think any state, regardless of how they act or what they do, should put any pressure on us."
The new legislative task force will focus on mental health resources, gun-violence prevention and school security, Senate President Pro Tempore Don Williams, D-Brooklyn, said. It will involve chairmen and ranking members of the judicial, public safety, education, higher education, public health, human services, children, appropriations and finance committees.
The goal of the task force is to develop a comprehensive and realistic bill by the end of February. Other measures will continue to be designed after that point, Williams said.
Access to treatment
State Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, said she will be a member of the task force's mental health subcommittee and wants to look at how children are tracked as they go through different school systems or age out of public schools.
"It's thought that in the case of this kid, Adam Lanza, you know, he aged out of high school and that was it," Ritter said of the gunman in the Dec. 14 shootings that left 26 staff and students dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Maybe there weren't as many opportunities for services once he was out of school, she said.
How outpatients are handled also needs to be examined, Ritter said. Connecticut allows inpatient commitment or forced hospitalization if someone is deemed harmful to themselves or to others, said Jim Siemianowski, spokesman for the Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services. But there is no such thing as outpatient commitment, he said.
Connecticut is one of six states that does not provide for outpatient commitment, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center, a nonprofit organization based in Arlington, Va., dedicated to eliminating barriers to mental health care. Outpatient commitment in other states might include forcing someone who is living in the community and diagnosed with a mental illness to take medication and receive therapy, Siemianowski said.
The New York bill passed on Tuesday focuses primarily on gun control but also requires mental health professionals to report to local mental health officials when they think a patient is a threat to himself or others, according to The New York Times. Firearms could then be removed from a "dangerous patient" by law enforcement officials. The bill also expands the state's outpatient commitment laws, the Times reported.
Guns, ammunition
During a press conference on Tuesday, Malloy said he had read part of the New York legislation and that "there are things we are very much in agreement on."
The New York bill bans magazines with a more than seven-round capacity; bans semiautomatic pistols and rifles with detachable magazines and one military-style feature; and bans semiautomatic shotguns with one military-style feature, according to the Times.
Malloy said he has spoken about limiting high-capacity magazines and expanding the assault weapons ban in Connecticut. New York's universal permitting and background checks, for the most part, also make sense, he said.
"If my name has to be checked to get on a plane, someone's background should be checked to buy a gun. It's pretty straightforward," Malloy said. Analyzing New York's legislation, he said, made him think gun-control legislation could be created relatively quickly, while mental health and school-safety measures might take longer, Malloy said.
Democratic state senators assigned to the gun violence prevention subcommittee include Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven, state Sen. Eric Coleman, D-Bloomfield, state Sen. Joan Hartley, D-Waterbury, and state Sen. John Fonfara, D-Hartford.
Looney said the task force was obligated to reach a consensus before the end of February.
"It is our responsibility now to keep faith with the families in Newtown but also with those in all of our cities and other parts of our state who have been victimized by shocking gun violence and also by the gaps and flaws in our mental health systems," Looney said.
Other issues that might take longer to agree upon would have to work their way through the normal committee process.
This task force would hold one to two public hearings before an initial emergency bill would be passed in February, Williams said. It also would work in concert with Malloy's advisory commission, he said.
State Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, said she would like to see about three public hearings to give everyone a chance to speak.
Six-week deadline
State Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, who will serve on the task force's school security subcommittee, said many parents have told her that their children are not getting the mental health services they need.
"The cost is between $400 and $500 an hour to be with a child psychiatrist because there is such a shortage," Urban said. "How can we mitigate that?"
One way would be to possibly take some money paid to school administrators and reallocate it to teachers and counselors on the "street level," she said.
"We are top heavy," she said.
State Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, also will serve on that subcommittee.
Maynard said he thought the subcommittee would be looking at whether any school retrofitting was necessary. The group also will look at whether schools need a better safety perimeter, for example limiting vehicle access to schools and holding "awareness" training for teachers.
"I don't know if we can prepare the schools for every possible eventuality, but there certainly appears to be more that we can do," Stillman said.
The task force has six weeks to design the first part of legislation.
"I think we need to strike while the proverbial iron is hot, because you know things tend to fade away," Urban said.

PARIS — Backed by a loud home crowd, France pushed, shoved and bullied its way back into its semifinal with Canada at the women's rugby World Cup.
Down a player and on the defensive, Canada managed to slow the host team down just enough, and when the final whistle sounded the Canadians were headed to their first ever World Cup final.
Magali Harvey scored the game-winning try and Canada escaped with a tense 18-16 win over France on Wednesday.
The French used their powerful forwards to score two late tries after Harvey gave her team an 18-6 lead. But France's Sandrine Agricole missed both conversions, sealing her team's fate.
"It happens in every playoff. The last five or 10 minutes are always painful," Canada coach Francois Ratier said.
"We almost killed the game in the first 20 minutes of the second half. We couldn't score that third try that would have been the end of the French hopes."
While France took it to Canada in the latter part of the second half, the hosts still had to work hard for every inch they gained and both of their tries came on time-intensive drives. France's inability to score quickly against Canada proved to be the difference.
"It was tough. I can tell you the crowd was waking up too because there was 20,000 pushing the French team," Ratier said. "I think the girls were amazing the last 10 minutes just to resist the huge pressure."
Canada looked like it might be on its way to a comfortable win when Harvey ran the length of the pitch to score Canada's second try of the game six minutes into the second half. Her conversion gave Canada an 18-6 lead.
But the French fought back and scored two late tries, and had they been able to convert them both it would be the hosts and not Canada advancing to meet England in Sunday's final.
"Obviously it was a very loud stadium, so we really had to keep tight, keep controlled, and obviously we wanted to control ourselves and stay connected," Canada captain Kelly Russell said.
After a first half that saw Harvey and France's Sandrine Agricole kick two penalties each, Canada finally managed to break through the French defence shortly after the half.
Elissa Alarie scored the game's first try three minutes into the second half. Alarie made like she was going to pitch the ball wide to a teammate, and when France's defenders went for the fake she ran the ball in for the score.
It was the first try that France had surrendered at the tournament. It was also justice for the Canadians, who felt they deserved more from a first half that saw them apply constant pressure to the French defence.
"We really knew we had to come out hard in the second half, and we believe in playing rugby and exploiting opportunities that are in front of you," Russell said. "We're a fit team, and that carried us through the second half."
Harvey uncharacteristically missed the conversion but didn't wait long to make up for it. With Canada near their end zone, Mandy Marchak pitched the ball to Harvey, who ran almost the length of the field to score Canada's second try.
"We are very mobile, so every turnover opportunity we try to move the ball wide and score," Ratier said. "We've been doing it since the beginning since we've started working together, so it's not a particular strategy. They know when they get the ball in front of them they have to move the ball and attack."
Harvey, who earlier Wednesday was named to the shortlist for the IRB Women's Player of the Year award, kicked the conversion to give Canada a 12-point lead.
Just when it seemed like Canada had the momentum, the French stormed back. They scored their first try of the game when they pushed the ruck into Canada's end zone and Safi N'Diaye touched down to cut Canada's lead to 18-11.
Agricole missed the conversion.
With time running out, Canada's Mary Jane Kirby was shown a yellow card to leave her side with 14 players. France took advantage, rumbling across the line and scoring when Assa Koita touched down to make it 18-16.
Agricole lined up for the conversion with a chance to tie the game, but she missed again. A depleted Canada was able to hold on for the remaining few minutes to earn its first trip to the final.
"(The French) played very conservative rugby based on big rolling mauls," Ratier said. "I'm surprised they didn't try to move the ball a bit more, but when they tried our pressure in the centre was so high that they couldn't handle it."
In Wednesday's other semifinal, England beat Ireland 40-7.
Canada and England played to a 13-13 tie earlier in the tournament. Ratier said he expects another physical match on Sunday.
"England is England. They play the same as us. It's go forward rugby, direct rugby," Ratier said. "If we match them physically, then everything is possible. And we will match them.
"England said to everyone they would be world champions so OK, fair enough, do it, but it's up to them."
Regardless of Sunday's result, this has been a good week for women's rugby in Canada. Along with Harvey, Russell was also short-listed for the women's player of the year award.
"We're really happy that Canada came out with two nominations," she said. "It just goes to show the hard work we're putting in and how the team's playing. We can't do it alone, so it's a whole team effort out there."
