Multicast Builds - How do I change Ghostcast Timeout period?
Created: 23 Nov 2011 | 2 comments
I have setup a multicast job in the Ghost Console and most of the pcs appear in the ghostcast server.
The problem is that it takes about 30mins to 'timeout a pc which does not appear' before starting to image the remaining pcs.
Is there a way I can get the ghostcast to start sooner?

Hi Bloke,
The server timeout option would timeout the server's connection to the clients in a particular amount of time.
While executing a task if the server timeout is set for 10 mins the session would try to connect in 10 minutes and if exceeds ten minutes it would time out.
If you want to do the same then choose Tools menu-->options-->server timeout

Todd Road Jail officials work to contain flu
A rise of inmates with fever and flu-like symptoms is driving what an official called routine efforts to keep influenza from spreading at the Todd Road Jail near Santa Paula.
Capt. John Miller, facility manager of the 800-inmate jail run by the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, said about 20 of 250 inmates in the site's female housing unit had flu symptoms. Two men also came down with symptoms last weekend, he said.
Miller downplayed the significance, saying similar surges in flu symptoms happen at the jail every year just as they happen everywhere else.
"It's no big deal," he said, calling the jail a microcosm of society.
Miller said officials were trying to keep the symptoms from spreading farther and from infecting about 150 staff members. He said information was being given to inmates and staff members about washing hands and other flu season hygiene.
When any of the female inmates are headed to a court appearance or elsewhere outside their housing unit, they are asked to wear surgical masks, Miller said. He added that the jail differs little from any other place where people are in close confines, except for one distinction.
"If you think of it as a school, we can't send them home when they're sick," he said.
There has been no unusual flu activity at the county's main jail in Ventura, said Cmdr. Rick Barrios, adding that safety precautions were being taken at the facility.
Officials from the California Department of Public Health said flu is widespread in the state, with seven confirmed deaths and 28 more deaths being investigated. The dominant strain is the H1N1 virus, the same swine flu that swept across the world in 2009.
Dr. Robert Levin, Ventura County public health officer, said the flu is making its presence known in the county but has not reached the levels in nearby Kern County, where more than 40 people have been hospitalized since Dec. 27.
Levin said eight people in Ventura County have been hospitalized because of flu-like illnesses, with two patients treated in intensive-care units.
Levin said the best way to control the flu's spread is vaccination. He said the flu has likely not reached its peak in Ventura County.

The City Commission and Community Redevelopment Agency are continuing the budget process and the end is in sight, with a meeting tonight at 6 p.m. and the final meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 26.

Did you know that enough diapers are picked up annually to supply every child in the U.K.? Or, that each year, enough cigarette butts are collected to fill 100 Olympic sized swimming pools?
About 120 visitors showed up Aug. 30 in Trenton at the 6th Annual Pure Water Wilderness Tourism Summit.
"There was more of a positive response," said Donna Creamer, executive director of Pure Water Wilderness, after the event. "There was more cooperation."
Creamer said the event, which focused on hospitality and customer service, had one of the biggest turnouts yet, something she attributed to the day's topic.
Last week the Cedar Key Beacon reported that Commissioner Scott Dennison voted against having the Community Redevelopment Agency pay for repairs to two sewer line breaks near Second Street and State Road 24 during an Aug. 30 emergency meeting.
While Dennison did not say why during the meeting, in response to a Beacon request he provided the following statement:
"I voted no for 3 primary reasons;
Well, Cedar Key won't have Ciraco Underground to kick around anymore. The road and utility work has been completed after a year of careful work and limited hicups.
Back in elementary school, you may have been told that iron oxide powder, added to a paint base, made red paint. The abundant red pigment was the reason for many a red building and barns around the country.
But, it is also the reason for the red water that comes out of the city's wells. For years, the Cedar Key Water and Sewer District has been removing the iron and manganese from the water, but it has been a tedious and expensive process. Particularly because the water also runs through a MIEX system, to remove Tri-halo-methanes (THMs).
Cedar Key's aquaculture group says it wants to help with illegal dumping in the city.
Household trash and cover nets have been dumped in the Shell Pile area behind the marina on State Road 24 for years, according to local officials.
But Ken Edmunds, of the Cedar Key Aquaculture Association, said he thinks he has a solution for the dump site. Edmunds offered for the association to monitor the area on a regular basis for six months, beginning right after Coastal Clean up, an annual event aimed at cleaning America's coasts.
Leslie Fine and Bobby Witt cruised over to the dock of Kona Joe's one afternoon for lunch in this skiff Bobby built, complete with an umbrella to keep Leslie out of the sun.
Hopefully, many of you have "taken the challenge" that we suggested in the March 2010 issue of Conservation Corner and are now using reusable grocery bags, as much as possible. As we reported in that article, an average family uses over 550 bags each year, most of which are used only once before they become trash or litter.

Creation of a separate federal agency is needed, new report says,,,,
WEDNESDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- A new report calls for a radical overhaul of the U.S. food safety system, including the creation of a separate food safety administration with its own food safety czar.
"We want to take the 'F' out of FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] and create a separate food safety administration to make sure this issue gets the attention and resources it deserves," said Jeffrey Levi, executive director of the Trust for America's Health, during a March 25 teleconference marking the release of the report.
"The U.S. food safety system is seriously out of date and fragmented, leaving Americans vulnerable," added Michelle Larkin, public health team director and senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We shouldn't have to worry that our kids are going to get sick from their school lunch or that our family is at risk if they eat out at a restaurant or at home."
The report, titled "Keeping America's Food Safe: A Blueprint for Fixing the Food Safety System at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services," was prepared jointly by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Trust for America's Health, a nonprofit advocacy group.
Food safety should be focused on prevention, not action after the fact, the report stated.
Susan Cruzan, an FDA spokeswoman, said that "President Obama has established the White House Food Safety Working Group to examine ways we can reform the system and is strongly committed to strengthening the food-safety system."
"We all agree that we need to start reforming the system and are committed to working together towards that end, although we are not yet in a position to make specific proposals," she said.
Cruzan said the agency is "gathering the information we need to make critical changes and looks forward to working with Congress an

|The spectrum of histopathologic findings in cutaneous eruptions associated with influenza A (H1N1) infection.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23216248 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Influenza A (H1N1), like many other viral infections, has been associated with cutaneous eruptions. Differential diagnoses in a viral exanthem generally include spongiotic dermatitis, urticaria and drug reaction. The aim of this series was to retrospectively review three cases (five biopsies) involving patients with a clinical history of H1N1 and an accompanying rash, and to evaluate whether unique histopathologic and immunohistochemical features exist among these patients' cutaneous eruptions. Findings among all cases included a sparse superficial perivascular infiltrate, and interestingly, scattered interstitial and prominent intravascular neutrophils. Two cases demonstrated mild spongiosis and mild interface change. Immunohistochemistry in all cases revealed a CD4-predominant lymphocytic infiltrate of the dermis with a sparse intraepidermal population of admixed CD4 and CD8 positive lymphocytes. Many changes found in the cutaneous eruption associated with H1N1 are similar to those of other viral eruptions, including a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, mild spongiosis and mild interface change; however, sparse dermal and intravascular neutrophils and intraepidermal lymphocytes appear to be the features unique to these cases of H1N1-associated cutaneous eruptions. Such a distinction may prove diagnostically important in the clinical setting and useful in the surveillance of this historically pandemic virus.

Both Southworth and Hawes believed that photography
might someday be capable of capturing the colors of
nature. Believing in the near perfection of the daguerreotype
process, Southworth declared, "This if possible
would be a discovery in the fine arts never equaled
and never to be surpassed. Then there would be one
thing on earth that would be perfection itself."
However, Southworth denounced Levi Hill's claims
to have achieved color in the daguerreotype as an
"unmitigated delusion." "We have
many pictures which, in certain lights, reflect the
colors of the prism partially blended, and many of
different tints; but we assure our friends that the
colors of nature were never, in a single instance,
transferred by Daguerreotype, and that the pretended
discoveries of taking the colors are an imposition
upon the public, a trick unworthy of any one claiming
the appellation of artist."
Although the daguerreotype is monochromatic, it could
be made to appear as if in natural color by the hand
application of pigments. Many people requested the
coloring of their daguerreotypes, but Southworth advised,"Those
who know little of pictures may sometimes be unable
to recognize the face of a friend, unless it is painted,
but a perfect daguerreotype will surely be injured
by any attempt to color it." He found the common
coloring attempts of other studios less than artistic,
saying, "The habit of coloring indiscriminately,
of powdering the plate with carmine, blue or yellow,
and daubing to imitate jewelry, shows great lack of
taste both in those who make and those purchasers
who require such pictures."
The studio took pride in their coloring. "All
persons, without exception, pronounce our Coloring
unequalled. Artists say it is as true to nature as
it can possibly be." Josiah Hawes had been a
painter of miniatures and oil portraits before taking
up the daguerreotype. He and sometimes his wife, Nancy,
did the coloring for the studio. Their elaborate coloring
technique resembles that most commonly found in English
and French daguerreotypes and is predominantly applied
to giving background illusions of landscape features
or cloud effects.

Chennault overcame great hurdles to implement his plan, but China had powerful friends within the U.S. government, including Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. On 15 April 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an unpublished executive order authorizing reserve officers and enlisted men to resign from the U.S. military for the purpose of joining the AVG. In another deal, the British government agreed to waive its rights to a production run of 100 almost obsolete P-40B fighters in exchange for guaranteed priority on another order of a later model. The tiger-shark jaws that AVG pilots painted on the noses of their P-40s contributed to their nickname, which was bestowed on them by Time magazine in its 27 December 1941 issue.
Members of the AVG signed a one-year contract with the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company, a U.S. firm that had the contract with the Chinese government to provide pilots, planes, and crews. Pilots' salaries ranged from $250 to $750 per month. Not part of the written contract was an agreement that pilots were also to receive $500 for each Japanese plane shot down.
The first contingent of AVG pilots departed for China by ship in July 1941. The next month, they commenced training at the British air base in Toungoo, Burma. Training focused on air-combat theories, then somewhat unconventional, that Chennault had developed during his years in the U.S. Army Air Corps and tested in China after 1937. Chennault's tactics were built on the two-plane element and a careful analysis of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the opposing aircraft. Chennault stressed, for example, that his pilots should never try to turn with the more maneuverable Japanese aircraft. Instead, they should take advantage of the P-40's heavier weight to attack from above and then dive to break contact with the enemy. Chennault insisted that his pilots learn their enemy's fighter tactics better than the Japanese pilots knew the tactics themselves.
When the entire contingent arrived in Asia, the AVG was organized into three squadrons: the 1st ("Adam and Eves"), the 2nd ("Panda Bears"), and the 3rd ("Hell's Angels"). The AVG first went into combat over Yunnan Province in China on 20 December 1941, almost two weeks after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The AVG then had 82 pilots and 79 operational P-40s.
As soon as the United States entered World War II, plans were immediately developed to bring the AVG personnel back into the U.S. military. Chennault himself returned to active duty in the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 7 April 1942 as a colonel. The AVG was to be reintegrated by 4 July 1942 to become the 23rd Fighter Group, which would be commanded by Colonel Robert L. Scott, who was newly arrived from India. The 23rd would be part of the larger China Air Task Force (CATF), which would be commanded by Chennault as a brigadier general and subordinate to the U.S. Tenth Air Force in India. The CATF later grew to become the Fourteenth Air Force, commanded by Chennault as a major general.
The pilots and ground crew of the AVG were offered assignments in the USAAF and were strongly encouraged to accept them or face the draft board back home. Many, however, objected to the strong-arm tactics. In the end, only 5 AVG pilots agreed to rejoin the U.S. military and fly for the CATF. Another 19 stayed in China and continued to fly for China National Airways. To help Chennault with the transition, however, 20 pilots and 24 ground crew agreed to serve two weeks beyond 4 July. Two of those volunteer pilots were killed during that period. Other AVG pilots who did not stay in China later made significant contributions in other theaters of war. They included James Howard, who flew with the 354th Fighter Group in Europe, and Gregory Boyington, who flew with the Marines in the Pacific. Both subsequently earned the Medal of Honor.
Although some military experts predicted at the time that the AVG would not last three weeks, it achieved one of the more impressive records in air warfare. In less than seven months in combat, the unit destroyed 299 Japanese aircraft and probably destroyed another 153. The AVG lost only 12 P-40s and 4 pilots killed in air-to-air combat. It lost another 6 pilots to ground fire: 3 were captured and 3 were killed on the ground by enemy bombs. Another 10 pilots died in flying accidents.
Despite the fact that most members of the AVG came from the U.S. military (and many returned to the military to serve in World War II), they were branded as mercenaries for many years following the war. In 1991, a U.S. Air Force panel concluded that all members of the AVG had been fighting for the United States at the time and were eligible for veterans' benefits on the basis of that service. On 8 December 1996, the air force further recognized the AVG by awarding the Distinguished Flying Cross to the pilots and the Bronze Star Medal to the ground crews. David T. Zabecki

When you think "album cover pose," you're likely picturing the work of Northwest photographer Jini Dellaccio, who transitioned from shooting fashion models to rock musicians in the early 1960s, and went on to capture iconic images of rockers, such as The Wailers, The Sonics, Neil Young and The Who. This world-premiere documentary by British filmmaker Karen Whitehead, featuring a local crew that includes filmmaker John Jeffcoat (Outsourced) as cinematographer, traces the life and work of Dellaccio—now 95 and still going strong, as evidenced by a recent shoot of the Moondoggies—whose work blazed trails for both women photographers and the rock music aesthetic.

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.
I hope that minion card coming with the virtual ticket doesn't have as much disaster potential as Gelbin Mekkatorque. Thanks for turning my Lord of the Arena into a chicken, bro. Now get out of my deck.
globalsmitty asked:
So, the 'Crusader Murloc' reward for purchasing a virtual ticket to Blizzcon, a clue to the next expansion maybe? The much suspected return of the Burning Legion?
The Crusader is the new class in the Diablo III expansion, not a Warcraft thing. You should check out the Reaper of Souls preview page on the Diablo website, it looks pretty darn cool. I'm a real sucker for the blonde lady badass warrior thing.
SaltySapphiria asked:
Has there been any word on the Fey Dragon mount yet?
Sizzlelegs asked:
Can we get an update for the LFR bosses in 5 seconds for wings 2 and 3?
I'll see what we can do.
WordGardener asked:
Let me preface this and say that while I've been playing since BC, I'm a complete Blizzcon noob. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but my birthday present this year is a virtual ticket (YAY!) When we get a little closer to Blizzcon, will you have some sort of guide up ahead of time? I'm going to be lost navigating everything that is happening, and would love to see certain things, like the announcement for the next xpac, live if at all possible. I know you aren't prescient (though that would be really cool), but still, it seems like folks with more experience would be able to figure out which panels would likely have what info. Thanks!
Blizzard always releases an event schedule before the show itself. You'll know exactly when the panels you want to see are happening and all of that sort of thing. If there are any other BlizzCon specifics we can help with beyond an event schedule, people should less us know -- we can totally do some kind of BlizzCon thing if we know what people aren't sure about.
Sleepy1 asked:
Hearthstone etiquette question: Never played a card game before. When I lose I tend to lose graciously. What bothers me though is when the opener has clearly won and can finish the game in one hit spends time thinking, buffing/playing cards etc. to deliver to most amount of damage. Is this appropriate? When they start to do it I slam the concede button because it's wasting my time.
It's generally bad etiquette to waste time when you know, beyond any shadow of doubt, that you're going to win. If your opponent has nothing on the field and your six gajillion minions can do more than enough damage to end it, just end it. However, if there's any uncertainty at all, you don't want to risk blowing your victory just because you were a bit hasty.
Sometimes, I admit, it's really tempting to show off what was in my hand just to finish the big combo I was building. Throwing all my excess cards down to give a minion 30+ attack power is just too delicious and I hope everyone involved can get a chuckle out of it. I know that I, personally, can't help but laugh when my opponent brings overwhelming force to bear against me. The luck of the draw can make insanely perfect scenarios. When I'm in that position happens, I try to throw all of my cards down as fast as possible. Making my opponent wait an eternity to lose is just rude. If it adds another 10 seconds, meh. If it's going to take longer than that, you're just being a jerk.
The one big exception to this is when you get the daily quest to deal X amount of total damage. If your quest is to deal 100 total damage, you're going to try to deal as much of that in one game as possible. By ending a game with a big blow, you can reduce how many games you actually need to play to complete the quest.
Dardan asked:
Is your CSS not loading sometimes or is there something wrong with my PC?
Our stylesheet has been failing to load, yes. We have people trying to figure out why, the cause hasn't been super clear so far. Some fixes were attempted, but none of those fixes resulted in a solution. Please be patient while we're investigating. Trust me, it irritates us just as much as it irritates you.
ScottLeyes asked:
Since grammar seems so popular... SHAY-man or SHAH-man?
SKOL-omance or SHOL-omance?
Paladin or Nerf Target?
Rogue in Disguise Since Cataclysm.

But for parents who aren't ready to leave their kiddos completely alone, we have three tips to ease your way into allowing them more freedom.
- If an entire afternoon at the park sounds too scary, try five- and 10-minute increments of freedom.
- If you're used to hovering over your child on the jungle gym, try sitting on a bench and watching from afar. You'll still be close enough to keep tabs on things.
- Rather than tote a bag filled with toys and equipment, let your child lead the way. See where some unstructured play time leads them.

About the Program
PSU's Art and Social Practice MFA is composed of a unique combination of individual research, group work, and experiential learning. The program's blend of critical and professional practice, collaborative social engagement, and transdisciplinary exploration produces an immersive educational environment. Based in Portland, Oregon, the program operates on the PSU campus, and in our space at the King School in Northeast Portland. The program's Flexible Residency model allows for travel and even the ability for students to reside outside of Portland during their course of study. A weekly conversation series promotes the understanding of a wide range of approaches and methodologies.
The 90 credit, three-year course leans toward a democratic approach that encourages students to shape the direction of their own education, and continually redefine and develop the program as a whole. Students connect their art practice to research in the field through electives and community partnerships, promoting cross disciplinarily. Student work and research is presented publicly culminating in final graduate projects, presented in the third and final year of the program. Each student also produces a book for the Social Practice Reference Points series on a prominent theme, person or as a workbook.
The program produces an annual intervention event at the Portland Art Museum called Shine a Light, and has exhibited work and created projects for the Whitney Museum of American Art, Bétonsalon in Paris, apexart in New York, and Smack Mellon in Brooklyn among other venues and locations.
The program accepts approximately six students annually. The deadline for applying is February 1st. Interested persons are encouraged to make arrangements to visit the program.

10 reasons to choose Ubuntu 12.10 over Windows 8
Initial uptake of Windows 8 has been unenthusiastic, according to reports, and a full 80 percent of businesses will never adopt it, Gartner predicts. As a result, Microsoft's big gamble may be desktop Linux's big opportunity. So, now that Canonical has thrown down the gauntlet, let's take a closer look at Ubuntu 12.10 to see how it compares with Windows 8 from a business user's perspective.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — If Congress and the administration wanted to keep the young and unskilled out of work, how would they do that?
It's not hard. Indeed, recent history suggests that they know how. They would raise the minimum wage, pricing young people out of some jobs. They would require that firms pay for health care, or, failing that, pay a penalty for each uninsured employee. They would discourage unpaid internships, which are often a first rung on the career ladder. They would try to ban young people from some jobs in agriculture on family farms.
Our government has done all this, and more. That's one reason this Friday's unemployment data for July will show unemployment rates for young people remaining around 24 percent for teens and 14% for 20 to 24-year olds. Here's how it works:
Increases in minimum wage. Minimum wage increases from $5.15 per hour to $7.25 an hour over a three-year period, from 2007 to 2009, particularly affected young and low-skilled Americans.
When Social Security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance are added to the $7.25 minimum wage, the cost to the employer is about $8 an hour. That means that employers will rationally hire only workers whose output exceeds $8 an hour. Some inexperienced young people, whom it makes sense to employ at $5.15, will not be employable at $7.25.
What's an employer to do? Shrink her business? Pay in cash, off the books, less than the minimum wage? Or replace people with machines?
We see more machines all around us. Here on the streets of Washington, food trucks are proliferating, taking business from brick-and-mortar restaurants.
I can walk along Farragut Square, blocks from the White House, and choose from Tasty Kabob, Amorini Panini, and Sauca. The food is as good as in restaurants. But there are no waiters. People wait in line, paying with their time, rather than paying the higher cost of a meal in a restaurant. These entrepreneurs have cut out labor and rent.
Food trucks are part of a trend towards labor-saving arrangements in several lines of business. Customers are scanning purchases at supermarkets and drugstores. They're buying more online. When they call airlines or banks or credit-card or phone companies, they increasingly interact with computers, not people.
Some of these changes would have occurred without increases of the minimum wage. But making labor more costly helped.
Health care requirements
Another way to discourage employers from hiring low-skill workers is to impose a per-worker tax. That's exactly what the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will do, beginning in 2014.
Major pieces of health-care law take effect today
Two major provisions of the health-overhaul law take effect Wednesday, testing employers' ability to adapt to changes the measure mandates. Louise Radnofsky has details on The News Hub. Photo: Getty Images.
Under the act, firms with 50 or more employees will be required to offer affordable health insurance, or pay a $2,000 annual tax for each uncovered worker. Employers in the 50+ size bracket will continue to hire skilled workers — but they will diminish their compensation by the cost of health insurance. For employees paid at minimum wage, however, this will not be possible, because they may not be paid less. So, some unskilled workers won't be hired.
Employees of industries that have traditionally offered the greatest opportunities to entry-level workers — leisure and hospitality, and eating places — will be particularly hard-hit by the new law. The $2,000 penalty will amount to 9% of average wages in the food and beverage industry and 8 percent of wages in the retail trade. Many firms do not now offer all employees health insurance. Also, they have large percentages of entry-level workers, whose hiring will fall off.

How To: Make a Wine Bottle Torch
By Designs by Studio C on Apr 26, 2012
I know, there are tons of sites with this exact same subject. I went to one and thought,"Wow, this is cool! I want to make some!". I even saw one site where they made vases out of the wine bottles and hung them indoors on the wall. They were so pretty!
So, I printed out the parts list and went off to the home improvement store to buy them. I only found a few – they didn't know what the rest of the parts were! I was surprised by that! Once I got back home, I did a little research on the internet…
- 1/2″ copper cap
- 1/2″ x 3/8″ copper coupling (shown with teflon tape wrapped on the larger end)
- 3/8 x 16 threaded rod
- 1″ split ring hanger (in the plumbing dept!)
- 3/8″ ceiling flange (also called a "top plate connector")
- 2 – 3/8″ hex nuts
- Tiki torch replacement wicks
- Empty wine bottle
I wanted to use them as ambiance for a barbecue we were planning. So here is how I did this -
I sprayed a clear coat on the caps and couplers. I didn't want the patina that will eventually happen.
The couplers will need to have teflon tape wrapped around the larger end. I found that wrapping the tape five times around it gave a nice, snug fit in the bottle opening. Then I inserted the wick in the opening with at least 1″ at the top.
The store where I purchased the ceiling flanges didn't have them in copper, only galvanized. I thought about spray painting them even though paint doesn't stick to galvanized material very well. Its a small part so eventually repainting wouldn't be a big deal. I used primer and painted them with hammered copper spray paint. I'm not ready to mount mine yet (I have to build the deck first!) so I set the ceiling flange, split ring connector, and threaded rod off to the side for awhile.
Fill them with torch fuel and definitely use a funnel! The wicks seem short for the bottle but pour enough in there so the wicks can absorb the fuel. The Tiki brand fuel also comes in a bug-repellant type which will be great for this summer!
I waited until dark to light mine so I can check them out. The caps are so the wick can be protected when not in use. Aren't they great?
Until next time,
Happy Creating!blog comments powered by Disqus

IRSC UPDATE: Computer avatars help teach classroom management
FORT PIERCE - Education majors at Indian River State College are interacting in real-time with computer avatars who exhibit the most challenging behaviors of middle school students. The student avatars are controlled by interactors, professionals trained in voice impersonations and developmentally appropriate behaviors. The avatars appear through a sophisticated projection system.
To create a realistic classroom environment, the avatars represent the five most common categories of behaviors common to middle school students as classified by psychologists:
Sean, always seeking affirmation with a perpetually raised hand; Maria, shying away from teachers and peers; CJ, constantly testing authority; Kevin, looking for affirmation from other students, even if they misbehave, and Ed, shy but willing.
IRSC is participating in TeachLive, a national research project led by the University of Central Florida, using avatars replicating middle and high school students. IRSC students in classroom management courses are involved in the project. In addition to the education majors, 22 classroom teachers from St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties are utilizing the system to enhance teaching strategies to support student learning.
"TeachLive provides a unique opportunity for education students and teachers to react to all types of classroom behavior, practice the best classroom management methods and positively impact student learning," said Dr. Maria Cronin,director of the IRSC School of Education.
IRSC offers a bachelor's in education degree programs in middle and high school math, middle school science, high school biology and exceptional student education. Plans are underway to introduce a degree in elementary education. For more information, call 1-866-792-4772 or visit www.irsc.edu.

The Bachelor's Shawntel Newton: Why I Begged for Ben Flajnik's Attention
Shawntel Newton experienced her fair share of heartbreak when she was dumped by Brad Womack on The Bachelor in 2010, and the 25-year-old funeral director resurfaced on the ABC series Monday, this time attempting to find love with Ben Flajnik.
Traveling to meet Flajnik, 29, in San Francisco -- where he was wining and dining his 18 remaining bachelorettes -- Newton told Bachelor host Chris Harrison she'd long wondered if Flajnik felt the same way about her that she did about him.
PHOTOS: Meet the sexy singles fighting for Flajnik's love
"Ben's everything I want in a guy," Newton reasoned when she arrived in San Francisco. "If I didn't do this, I would always think 'what if,' and I don't want to live my life like that. In ways I think this could be a total fairytale, so here I am."
Barging in on the women during the cocktail party, Newton ruffled more than a few feathers in her attempt to woo Flajnik.
VIDEO: Inside Shawntel's most brutal Bachelor group date
"This bitch walks in, shovels her way into a crowd and I was like, 'who are you? We are not friends. Scram, bitch,'" sniped Jaclyn.
Begging Flajnik to take part in the evening's rose ceremony, Newton put it all on the line as his angry bachelorettes looked on in horror.

"I want to be at the rose ceremony and if you are willing to give me a rose, I'd be really happy," Newton told Flajnik. "If you're not, don't give me a rose and we'll end it now. But I feel like you have more feelings."
When Newton took her place at the rose ceremony, none of Flajnik's bachelorettes were more affected than frontrunner Courtney, who vowed to pack her bags if Newton got her way.

"I'm pissed. it feels very unfair to me," she fumed. "This isn't what I signed up for."
In the end, Courtney received Flajnik's first rose, and he was forced to give his final rose to either Erika, Jaclyn, or Newton.
PHOTOS: Sexy Bachelor stars' bikini bods
"I appreciate you coming all this way to find love, but...I just can't hand out this final rose tonight," Flajnik admitted, opting to send all three women packing in the interest of fairness. (Contestant Brittney voluntarily left the series Monday, deciding the Bachelor process just wasn't for her.)
PHOTOS: Shocking reality TV outcomes
"There was a connection there with Ben and I and I think he just wasn't being man enough to accept that," Newton said after her dismissal. "That's great that he's trying to be fair, but this is about someone you're going to be with for the rest of your life. I don't think fair comes into play. I just feel so dumb."

SMALL BUSINESS; Tackling the High Cost of Health Benefits Takes Some Creativity
By EVE TAHMINCIOGLU
Published: August 26, 2004
Dave Ratner, the owner of a small retail chain in western Massachusetts called Dave's Soda and Pet City, took a gamble with his firm's health insurance this year.
To avert a 20 percent increase in his premium, or $8,000 in all, Mr. Ratner raised the deductible that his 17 covered employees must pay for hospital stays to $1,000 from $500. Then, to stave off a potential workplace mutiny, he promised to make up the extra $500 for anyone who actually ended up in the hospital. Now he finds himself crossing his fingers that they stay healthy -- but calculates the odds as being with him. Even if 16 people need such care, he would break even, and for every number below that he would save $500.
Since 2001, small-business owners across the country have had to come up with innovative strategies to cope with double-digit increases in their health insurance premiums, but this is the year that many of them are finally crying uncle, according to Mark A. Cesarano, a health consultant for the Savitz Organization, an actuarial and employee-benefit consulting firm in Philadelphia. More than in years past, Mr. Cesarano said, they are scaling back coverage, increasing workers' contributions and increasing co-payments and deductibles.
Even so, soaring health care costs are wearing them down. Mr. Ratner, who also increased the co-payments that employees must absorb to $30 from $20 for doctors' visits and to $15 from $8 for prescription drugs, said his bill would be $60,000 this year, up from $44,400 for 15 employees in 2001. He considers that a steep price for a company with sales of $5 million to $10 million a year, and laments the fact that he lacks the power of big corporations to negotiate more favorable terms with insurers.
Even so, his cost could be much higher: Soda and Pet City, which is based in Agawam, Mass., and sells soft drinks and pet food, has a staff of 65, but most are either part time and ineligible for coverage or have insurance through their spouses.
''My business is really getting squeezed,'' Mr. Ratner said. ''The big guys have much better plans that are much more affordable.''
One way out of the financial vise is simply to drop coverage. That was the course that Lunden De'Leon, owner of Dirrty Records, a Los Angeles record label, reluctantly took.
Many of Ms. De'Leon's 12 full-time employees were straight out of college and could not afford coverage on their own, and starting in July 2001, she filled the gap because it ''made their lives a little easier and they worked a little harder.'' At first, she paid $89 a month to cover each employee, but the rate kept going up. By early last year, it had reached $119 to $126 a month, and when it was raised again in September, to $134 to $150, she dropped her plan.
''Running an independent record label where so much money is put into marketing and promotions to sell records, I simply can't afford it,'' Ms. De'Leon said, though she said she was looking for more affordable coverage. Meantime, she said, ''not having the proper coverage is sad and embarrassing.''
The pain is widespread, and deep. In a June study by the National Federation of Independent Business, a Washington-based small-business advocacy group, 65.6 percent of small-business owners surveyed deemed health insurance costs a ''critical'' issue, a level of anxiety that the federation says it has not seen in the 22 years that it has been conducting surveys.
Small businesses do seem to be bearing the brunt of the problem. According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust, health care premiums for businesses with fewer than 200 workers climbed 15.5 percent last year, compared with 13.2 percent for larger companies. On average, small-business owners spent $3,432 on insurance for each employee in 2003, compared with $3,360 for bigger companies.
And the smaller the firm, the more it pays, especially if it has a high proportion of older or female workers. ''Insurance companies have a hard time predicting claims for businesses with less than 100 employees because there are fewer bodies to spread the risk,'' said Mr. Cesarano of the Savitz Organization. To deal with this, many insurance companies ask workers for information about chronic illnesses and pregnancies. That may bump up rates, he said, although federal law prohibits the companies from denying coverage.
Fortune 500 companies have several advantages over smaller companies. They have more negotiating power, they can weather rate increases better and they can become their own insurers, a move that gains them tax advantages and the flexibility to offer a host of plans.
For all the financial burden of health insurance, small businesses are actually slow to cut back on benefits or ask employees to chip in more, health care experts say. Fully 95 percent of businesses with 50 to 199 workers offered insurance last year, according to the Kaiser report, while 84 percent with 25 to 49 employees did and 76 percent with 10 to 24 employees did. The proportion dropped to 55 percent among those employing 3 to 9 workers.

PRINCE2® Project Management Re-Registration Workshop inc Exam
3 day course
Course Information
Your PRINCE2® Practitioner certification only lasts for five years. The certification body requires certificate holders to demonstrate continued mastery of the Method.
If you wish to retain this valuable qualification you need only sit a one-hour re-registration examination. This can be re-sat any time between three and five years after gaining the certification last time.
Nevertheless, with the passage of time:
- Practitioners forget and need their recall refreshed on classic PRINCE2, and
- PRINCE2 may have been revised and updated.
- PRINCE2 continues to be enhanced and improved.
In 2009 we saw a major new edition of PRINCE2 published with changes that reflect practitioner experience. pearcemayfield was the only accredited training organisation in the world that provided a member of the authoring team, John Edmonds, for this update.
So... who is this Re-Registration Course for?
Anyone holding a current PRINCE2 Practitioner Certificate that is at least three years old.

How will You Benefit from this Course?
Apart being ready to take the Re-Registration exam, by the end of the workshop you will be:
- Fully conversant with the latest version of PRINCE2
- Able to access expert consultancy on practical PRINCE2 issues on their own projects.
"Trainer - Excellent & motivational delivery, engaging and interesting. Thank You!"

Refresher of the Method
- Overview
- Principles
- The Process Model
- Themes
