Last week I had the privilege of speaking with a group of pre-service teachers, many of whom are about to graduate and were eager to find out how they could get work in public schools. In the time available, I could only provide a very sketchy outline, so I've decided to follow up with this post.
In NSW Public Schools you can either be employed as a permanent teacher, or as a casual/temporary teacher. The process involved in securing a position as a permanent teacher couldn't be more different than the process for securing work as a casual or temporary teacher. In this post, I'll focus on how to get casual and temporary teaching work as it's where most new teachers will start.
First some definitions…
Casual teachers are not permanent employees of the Department of Education and Communities. Casual teachers are the people we call in to cover classes for short periods, such as when a teacher is away sick, at a course, or on short term leave.
When teachers take longer periods of leave, such as maternity leave, a non-permanent teacher might be employed to take their place for a year. This teacher is a Temporary teacher. They sign an agreement, and their job is reasonably secure for that period. I say reasonably, because there are always circumstances that could change. For example, if the teacher they replaced returned from leave early, then the temporary position would come to an end. In this case, employers are required to give notice.
Temporary teachers are also entitled to receive benefits such as sick leave and holiday pay. However, their daily take home pay is less than that of casual teachers because leave loading is added to the casual teachers' fortnightly pay, rather than paid in the actual school holidays.
Now a reality check…
As much as I hate to say this, it has been quite unusual for new graduates to secure either permanent positions or temporary teaching positions in schools. This is especially the case when looking for work in areas such as the one where I work, which is a high SES suburb close to a major centre and well connected by both road and public transport. Many, many people look for work at my school. When you're a new graduate you're competing with not only other new graduates, but also with experienced teachers who have a proven record of successful teaching experience.
However, I have noticed over the past year or so that new graduates seem to be getting more and more opportunities. In fact, often when I ring new graduates to offer them some casual work, they've already accepted work somewhere else. So times seem to be changing.
First of all you need to have been approved to teach by the DEC and have been issued a teaching number. In addition, you MUST have a current anaphylaxis and emergency care certificates.
Both these certificates can be completed online at the following links:
Anaphylaxis Training Emergency Care Training
There are also new requirements for the Working With Children Check. It is your responsibility to have this done. For more information, go to this website.
The application for casual teaching
Here's another reality check – the people who read your application are busy. I know, because I'm one of them. Employing casual teachers is just one very small part of my job. My role of assistant principal requires me to supervise a team of 8 teachers and support their classes, mentor new scheme teachers, deliver professional learning programs for my colleagues, coordinate student welfare across the school, manage targets and respond to various situations and crises as they arise. As well as all that, I'm a full time class teacher. In short, I don't have a lot of time to read your CVs, so please be concise.
Now, what follows is my personal opinion. I'm quite certain that other people responsible for employing casuals may have different ideas, but this is what I like.
The best applications I see have 3 parts: a good cover letter, a cv and supporting documents.
1. The Cover Letter
Because I'm busy, I always appreciate applications where all the information I need to know is included on cover. This is because when I'm desperate to find a casual teacher quickly, I don't have to leaf through several pages to find the essential information. If your cover letter tells me everything I need to know, I add you to my casual list immediately. If not, I wait until I have time to read the rest of your application, and if its a busy time, that can take weeks. Reading CVs is rarely to be a priority for me, so I get around to it when I've worked through my many other more pressing jobs.
Here is the information I consider essential in a cover letter:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your availability (5 days or just particular days each week)
- Confirmation that you have your anaphylaxis and e-care certificates as well as a current approval to teach.
It can also help if you mention specific skills and expertise that you bring to the role.
Every now and then I read a cover letter that stands out from the crowd. Most recently it was from a teacher who had been working for around 6 months. He hadn't been able to secure as much work as he'd like in the area he was working in, so was looking to find opportunities further afield. How do I know this? He wrote it in his cover letter. Somehow, that personal story humanised him and helped him to stand out. I liked his proactive approach to finding work, and have rung him several times since to offer him work. It seems his cover letter impressed some other people as well, because so far, he has been booked at other schools whenever I've rung.
But it's best not to provide too much personal information. I once received a cover letter from a woman who had recently left a very unhappy marriage and was trying to rebuild her life but was finding it almost impossible to break into the world of teaching – to the point where she was quite angry and resentful towards the people who were knocking her back. How do I know this? She wrote it in her cover letter. The amount of personal information she provided made her seem a little, well… unhinged. So keep the information that you share in your cover letter professional.
The CV
Along with your cover letter, attach a CV with your relevant work experience and achievements. To be completely honest with you, I rarely read the CVs. The one page cover letter should provide all the information I need to employ you for day to day casual teaching. However, while I don't often read them as they come in, I do keep all the CVs on file. If a teacher is going on leave for an extended period (such as a month, a term or even longer) and we have no one available to take their class, this is when I turn to the CVs. When looking through the CVs I look for a number of qualities. Experience working in schools will always give you an edge, and you'll gain this experience through the day-to-day casual work that you'll do once you finish university. Additionally I'll be looking for skills that might be relevant to the particular teacher you are replacing. For example, if the teacher on leave runs some of our sports programs it's always helpful to find someone with those skills. There are loads of templates online to help you write a cv. Try to include as much information about what you bring to the role as possible.
Supporting Documents
Your supporting documents are all the documents that you are legally required to provide, such as your teaching approval, anaphylaxis and e-care certificates.
Getting a foot in the door
Applications for casual teaching arrive at my school several times each week, and most of them are very similar. So how do you go from being just another name on the list, to someone we actually call?
Usually, I call people who are known to my school and have proven themselves to be good workers. Teaching is a huge responsibility and we like to ensure that our children are in good hands, so schools do tend to stick to people they know. However, I also like to add new people to our group of regular casuals throughout the year. Often our regular casuals will get permanent or temporary work elsewhere, and I need to have a pool of reliable people. At particular points in the year , usually at times when I'm less busy, I deliberately start calling some new names. I quite like to call new graduates as there is more chance they are available. If the new grad impresses me, I'll call them often because I don't want some other school snapping them up.
There's also a lot of luck involved. Some days, I might have received an application on the same day as a job came up. If I've no one specifically in mind for that job, l ring that applicant. In fact, I quite like doing that because if the application has only just come in, there's a good chance the person will be available.
If your cover letter has piqued my interest for some reason then I'll try to call you before one of the other unknown names on my list.
Networking helps a lot too. If you are known to me, or another staff member, I'm more likely to give you a shot. Again, this knowledge humanises you, so take opportunities to form your professional networks. Networking won't guarantee you ongoing work, but it will help you get your foot in the door.
There is so much more I could tell you about casual teaching, like the sorts of things you can do that will help you get called back to a school, and also things that might stop you being called back. But I'll leave those for another post.
I'd love to hear from you. What questions do you have about teaching in NSW schools, or, if you are responsible for employing casual teachers, what advice would you give?
Please use the comments section – this is a great topic for a forum.

October 3rd, 2008, 12:57 PM #1Add my name to the Linkshare Sucks club..
Well, I knew it would happen eventually (based on all the negative-LS threads).
I've been trying to get a lot of work done with Linkshare for the past 2 days, using the Linkshare website. I've never encountered so many errors in my life. It takes me about 10 minutes to do something that should take 10 seconds. I get so many error messages, and hung pages.
Just a warning to all Linkshare mercants "I'm not adding you to any of my sites because the Linkshare website is ALWAYS down/broken/stuck/offline/erroneous."
Merchants, when you choose to partner with Linkshare, we BOTH lose..

LS is the only network that has two interfaces and both are broken.
I think after they realize that neither of their interfaces work, they will launch a third interface.
October 3rd, 2008, 02:28 PM #4
Linkshare's demise can be surmised simply:
Messer started along the outsourced path and then Denton went full steam ahead maximizing profit so their key personnel could spend their time coddling top affilaites while they completely ignored everyone else, now, they have zero control and are deluged with requests that they simply can't handle it.
The sad reality is that if someone were to bring a fan to clear out all the smoke, it will break from all the sh!t that will hit it ... I guess it's a catch 22 for them. :PContinued Success,
The secret of success is constancy of purpose ~ Disraeli

We thought that we had really hit the bigtime when we were finally given a "contact" at LS at the last Summit. Except that she never answers our emails or returns our calls. So we still have just as many problems as ever. I guess you have to be one of their top 5 or something for them to help you with anything. It's sad because I love some of their merchants.--Tricia Meyer-- I love being the exception to the rule.

text: I looked at a Stihl FS 110RX Trimmer today. Did the search and only got one hit. Apparently Brian Wilson has one. Any one have an opinion about this trimmer? It is suppose to vibrate less and use less fuel. I hate carrying a gas can and I run out of fuel long before I run out of trimming on farm sites I do. I thought it was kind of heavy but not so bad it would be a problem. The dealer I like to go to has Echo and Stihl to choose from.

Everyone in Landgrabb House slept late on Saturday.
When they finally roused themselves to breakfast, Chloe made them buttermilk pancakes (they'd all long since avoided the cafeteria food on weekends). After eating, they gathered in front of the TV, where Chloe demanded to watch the Food Network (which she thought was largely lame, but she was a devotee of Anne Burrell). "She's not only a great cook, but she looks like a normal person," Chloe insisted. "Besides, my boyfriend thinks she's hot."
Chloe--a serious multitasker--was reading "The Alinea Cookbook" while George and Tosha cuddled, Brit worked on a project, and Alvin read the morning paper. Meadow was, as usual, at Orlando's dorm.
"Oh, my God--that woman's knife skills are unbelievable!" Chloe cried.
"Hey--here's the review of 'Seven Brides'!" Alvin exclaimed. Reading from the paper, he said, "'A significantly pleasurable moment was provided by the handsome and lithe George McCarthy, whose finely tooled Northwest slapdance brought some needed authenticity to the proceedings.' Oh, George--there's a photo, too!"
The photo's caption was: "George McCarthy, airborne."
"Hah!--" said Alvin. "'Airborne'--that's going to be my new nickname for you, George." Tosha, laughing, buried her face in George's shoulder.
"Oh, the price of fame!" laughed George.
"Hey, sleepyheads!" Yulia called out as she came through the door.
"Gotta go, Tosh," George said as he got up from the couch. "Yulia has generously offered to give me a massage, and every single muscle I possess is sore."
Yulia had set up her table in the hallway. "Bet you're looking forward to your vacation," said George as he climbed on.
"Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you--we can't go, because Yuri's exam has been postponed a week--his professor was run over by the llama float in the parade. Do you and Tosha want our tickets?" Yulia offered.
"Thanks, but we're going to her cousin's wedding. Why don't you take that guy who came to the show with you last night--Bryan Katz? He seems nice."
"He's very nice," answered Yulia. "But he's just a friend."
"Nothing wrong with going on vacation with 'just a friend,'" teased George. "After all, you never know what will happen. Look at me and Tosh."
"Okay," Yulia called out to her brother. "Bryan's here, so I'm off!"
"Hey," Yuri cautioned, "Rebecka's on her way over--don't let her see you leaving with Bryan."
"Why on earth not?" asked Yulia, confused.
"Because I don't want her to get any ideas about my taking her on vacation."
Yulia gave him a wry smile. "Is the water getting a little hot in the pot for the froggy?" she teased.
"She just moves a little fast for me, that's all," Yuri replied.
So, Yulia had Bryan go out the front door, and she herself went out the back.
But Rebecka, who seemed to be standing guard in front of Pinenut Plaza, still caught them. "Damn!" Yulia muttered to herself as she got into the airport shuttle.
To save money, Yulia had chosen the Blossom Wood Hotel, which was not on the beach,
but had a small pool. "Last one in's a rotten llama!" Bryan cried cheerfully. He changed into his swimsuit in the men's room, and hit the pool,
while Yulia checked them in.
Bryan had been thoughtful enough to reimburse Yulia for the cost of Yuri's plane ticket, and he offered to pay half the hotel bill. After checking in, Yulia went up to the room, changed into her swimsuit, and joined Bryan in the pool.
They paddled around for awhile, then Bryan suggested, "Shall we go see your dead pirate buddy?"
Yulia had been disappointed to discover that, after her first trip to the island, she hadn't learned the Sea Chantey well enough to teach it to others. This trip, she did.
They played on the pirate ship for a while, then went to the Twikkii Beach Hotel (the expensive hotel Yulia had stayed at with her parents) to use the beach.
A native instructed Yulia on the finer points of building a sandcastle ("My father's an architect, but I didn't inherit any construction skills at all!" she told him), and then the man attempted to show Bryan how to "hang loose" island style.
It didn't take. "I'm afraid I'm just not cut out to be cool, Yulia!" Bryan laughed.
"Cool is overrated, as far as I'm concerned," replied Yulia. "You're a good person, which is much more important."
They ate at the food stand at the Double Palm Resort, then Yulia went in search of the masseuse so she could learn another massage technique.
When she was done, she joined Bryan in the sauna. "I learned a new massage, but unfortunately it's not very portable--you have to get the rocks pretty hot, and I'm not sure how I'm going to do that." She explained to Bryan that she liked to take her massage table around to her friends' dorms.
"You mean Tosha Go doesn't mind you having your hands all over her hottie boyfriend?" Bryan teased.
"Tosha's got more sense than to be worried about me," Yulia retorted. "Though I don't think she'd let Rebecka Louie get her hands on George."
"What's your beef with Rebecka?" Bryan asked.
"Oh, I don't know that I have one, per se. It's just that I don't think she's right for my brother."
Bryan stayed quiet and just looked at her.
"Well, I guess it's that I think she's a bit aggressive," said Yulia. "And a bit fake. Not to mention a golddigger."
Bryan coughed. "Gee, Yul--tell me what you really think!"
"Do you know her at all?" Yulia challenged.
"Yes," Bryan admitted. " I lived in her dorm for a while. She's got some good qualities--for instance, I think she'll be a big success in business some day. She's got a lot of drive and energy, and loads of charisma."
"But?" Yulia prodded. "Because it's obvious there's a big 'but'."
"Well," said Bryan, uncomfortably. "I was talking to Randy London the other day--he's a friend of yours, right?"
"We're good friends. We grew up together," replied Yulia.
"Then you know that Randy is completely focused on money. And so is Rebecka. So--since Randy doesn't have a girlfriend yet--I asked him whether he had ever considered Rebecka. I mean, she's beautiful--"
"She's not beautiful," Yulia interrupted.
"Okay," Bryan corrected, "she's hot, in that way that guys like."
Yulia had no response to this.
"Anyway," Bryan continued, "I asked Randy why he wasn't interested in her. And he said--and I quote--'I'm afraid if we had a business together, she'd steal it out from under me. And if you can't trust someone as a business partner, you certainly can't trust her as a life partner.' And Randy's call on that is good enough for me."
"As it is for me," Yulia seconded.
They returned to the Double Palm Resort the next day to relax in the hot springs.
They ate at the Twikkii Beach Boardwalk and did some souvenir shopping (and were caught in a terrific hailstorm).
That evening they ate dinner at the Twikkii Beach Hotel, where Yulia had made reservations. The maitre d' remembered her from her family's stay at the hotel the previous year, and made a huge fuss--"Oh, Miss Andropova! How delightful to have you here again--is your ravishing mother with you? Will you be staying with us??" He went on and on as he ushered them to their table.
"Well, that was embarrassing," said Yulia, sliding into her chair. "My mother's really beautiful," she said to Bryan, by way of explanation.
"I know what your mother looks like, Yulia--I've seen her picture in the paper many times."
The waiter came over to take their order, and to present them with a bottle of champagne "Courtesy of the house--we are so delighted to see you again!"
"Your mom must be a great tipper," Bryan said under his breath.
"I think they think we're a couple," Yulia observed.
Bryan looked up. "We're not, right?"
Yulia cocked her head. "If you have to ask...."
"I mean, if you wanted a boyfriend I'd sure be happy to apply for the position, but--unlike a lot of girls--you don't seem to need one. You seem just fine alone."
"I want what my parents have--Daddy says he fell in love with Mother at first sight. And Mother," Yulia laughed, "says she always knew Daddy 'have good potential.'" She mimicked her mother's Russian accent.
"That kind of a relationship doesn't come along every day," advised Bryan.
"I know that," responded Yulia. "But my studies take up a lot of my time, so I'm happy to wait. In fact, if I'm alone all through college that'll be fine with me."
The next morning Yulia checked them out of Blossom Wood Hotel and they returned to school.
"Wow, you've really inherited Mother's nose!" Yuri was killing time waiting for the airport shuttle by pestering his sister while she worked on a term paper.
"I love Mother's nose," Yulia said without looking up.
"Well, that's fortunate, because from this angle there's a lot to love!"
"Don't you have a plane to catch?" Yulia inquired.
She had returned from the islands to discover that her brother was in fact taking Rebecka Louie on vacation. Apparently, after Rebecka had spied Yulia and Bryan leaving together in the airport shuttle, she "let slip" to Yuri that she was considering going on vacation with Ashley Pitts.
"Ash and I are just friends, but, you never know," she said with seeming indifference. That had been enough for Yuri, who had grown increasingly intrigued by this girl.
After Yuri and Rebecka left for the airport,
Yulia finished her work and went to bed, trying not to worry too much about her brother.
Yuri had booked a room at the Double Palm Resort, which had very good amenities for the money--a food stand, hot springs, and a decent pool.
While he checked in, Rebecka checked out the hotel.
"Pretty low-rent by my standards," she said to herself. "But I'll make the best of it."
They decided to relax in the hot springs after their long flight. Rebecka intentionally sent the conflicting messages of donning a skimpy bathing suit and sitting quite some distance from Yuri.
She chattered gaily about school, the stock market, and the art world, occasionally stretching her long, tanned limbs out of the water, displaying herself to her best advantage. Yuri couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Let's get some food," he suggested. "Do you want to go to the food stand, or get room service?"
"Either one is fine with me," answered Rebecka. She made a big production of getting out of the water.
"That's a verrrrry attractive bathing suit. You could be on the cover of Sports Illustrated."
"What a lovely compliment!" Rebecka squealed.
He grabbed her and kissed her, and Rebecka abandoned all pretense that she was fine with being "just friends" with Yuri.
This continued upstairs in their room,
and on the bed,
and one thing led to another.
Afterwards, while Yuri showered, Rebecka consulted her copy of "The Rules for Women" for advice on her next move.
That evening, they returned to the hot springs,
until hotel management asked them to leave the public area. "Sir, there are children present!"
The next day, after they made a spectacle of themselves in a hammock that could easily be seen by everyone lunching at the food stand, hotel management asked them to find other accommodations.
"You're suspiciously untanned for someone who just spent a couple of days in the tropics," Yulia said to her brother over breakfast.
"Never left the hotel, little girl," Yuri replied with an air of satisfaction. "In fact, we hardly left our room."
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Join us next week as Yuri starts his own art gallery, Yulia gets a new "project partner", and the romance heightens for Meadow and Orlando.

Ooo, I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Yuri and Rebecca.ReplyDelete
Wow...."never left the room, little girl." hehehe! I think Yuri isn't seeing the situation clearly. On the other hand Yulia seems to have a good head on her shoulders.ReplyDelete
Yuri is thinking with the wrong head. *laughs*ReplyDelete
Oh he is in such trouble with that girl
I love what Randy had to say about Rebecka. Shame Yuri didn't hear it... even if he did, he probably wouldnt believe it

Sharks scrum-half Cobus Reinach to join Northampton at end of season
South Africa scrum-half Cobus Reinach will join Northampton Saints from Super Rugby outfit the Sharks at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old boasts nine Springbok caps, having spent his entire career at the Durban-based Sharks.
"Cobus is an excellent player and we're looking forward to having him at Franklin's Gardens next season," said Northampton rugby director Jim Mallinder.
"We have been watching him for some time and he has proven time and again what a quality player he is. His set piece skills are excellent and he is a very opportunistic scrum half.
"We need quality players in each position to be able to compete at the highest level and Cobus further enhances a position where we are already strong with Nic Groom, Tom Kessell and Alex Mitchell."
The son of former Springboks wing Jaco, Reinach passed through Bloemfontein's famed rugby school Grey College before joining the Sharks in 2009.
"I'm delighted and excited to be joining Northampton," said Reinach.
"It is a club with a long tradition and strong values and I'm really looking forward to playing at Franklin's Gardens and being in their environment.
"Saints have some outstanding players in their squad and I knew after speaking with the coaches that it was a club that I wanted to play for.
"I want to thank everyone at the Sharks for all they've done for me in my career, and I'm 100 percent committed to them until the end of the season. I'm looking forward to the Super Rugby campaign and hopefully finishing on a high note with the Sharks and regaining my place in the Springboks' squad."

February Bag Review – Poolside Tote by Noodlehead
I have had this pattern for nearly 2 years and FINALLY got it out during a recent cold snap and started working on it. This pattern was originally part of the 2014 Bag-of-the-Month subscription but you can find it on Anna's site, Noodlehead. I own all of Anna's bag patterns so I knew I'd have no trouble sewing it up. Her pattern pieces, directions and supplies are always well written and easy to follow. The Poolside Tote is very large {Read More}
My Winter Backpack & Carryall
After I finished my newest tutorial, The Zippered Bag Strap, I had a great new zippered strap with no bag to attach it to! I knew I could whip up something fast on my own but instead I grabbed Handmade Style by Anna Graham and started cutting out the Double Zip Wallet and Gingham Tote patterns. The unique zippered section on the front of this tote is what drew me to this pattern first (there is also a rounded version). But me {Read More}

Which Exit?
If you happen to think that despite a real failure of leadership, New Jersey is an okay place to live, work and educate your children then it behooves you to get out and vote. In our gut we know that all the campaign jargon will be just that after the election. Just as the Sopranos and Desperate Housewives have joined the tag line for New Jersey, Which Exit?, most of our elected officials leave much to be desired as role models. However, for better or worse, what you see is what you get.

2008 Subaru Tribeca SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
By Souliman on
Vehicle2008 Subaru Tribeca Limited 7-Pass 4dr SUV AWD w/Nav (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewVery happy. Quality is solid - interior and exterior design is perfect for family of four. We fit two car seats and small adult in second row without a problem. Third row is really for children or small adults - somewhat difficult to access. Acceleration is excellent in upper gears. Some engine whine in lowest gear. Seamless shifting otherwise. Handles more like a car than SUV. Ride quality is excellent, smooth. Compared to the Jeep Grand Cherokee with AWD (Rocky Mountain Ed.), the handling is more reliable on wet surfaces. It will be hard to beat the Jeep in deeper snow though - we'll see. Larger adults will feel somewhat awkward driving due to short steering column and seat position.
Best FeaturesRide quality. Interior amenities. Styling. Plenty of room for kids and multiple adults (short trips).
Worst FeaturesMake Sirius standard. Disappointing fuel economy. Maybe some repositioning of driver seat versus steering column - not much leg room for six footer while driving.

I have begun to write about things that are of interest to me. Under this page, you will find my books, available on Amazon.com. As I add more books, I will note them on this page and write a blog about each one.
I love learning and I love doing the research on each and every book. Some of research is found on line, some taken from research articles and books. I love digital works so many of the books that I refer to are loaded on to my Kindle. Light weight and clutter-free is how I like it!

If I were PM
If I were PM, by Edward Guglielmino
If I were PM I'd go into heaps of national debt, around one thousand billion dollars, and build amazing public schools, hospitals and give everyone with a free NBN connection. I'd provide free public transport, I'd put the dole up to minimum wage, I'd give the primary care giver 6 months paid maternity leave. I'd consult a committee of Indigenous elders to work ways for lasting reconciliation and bring communion between the first and second nation people. I'd go to Indonesia and give first class boat rides to asylum seekers to Australia, process them here, and if legitimate give them permanent residency, with a slight catch, that they had to spend 5 years filling a employment gap in a regional centre (watch the cost of FIFO mining go down).
I'd employ a huge army of technicians, train them properly, and have them go to every house in Australia and see what steps could be taken to make the houses energy neutral (run off their own solar and/or wind), I assume some would also end up feeding back into the grid. I'd buy everyone electric cars, install high speed rail between all the cities and make the cost of the ticket free to most and a small amount to some.
Then I'd legalise and tax marijuana raising between 1-2 billion dollars a year in direct taxation and another 2 billion dollars a year with the economic boom. (Australian Hemp Party; My Guestimation). I'd decriminalise and regulate other drugs saving law enforcement 4.7 – 5.5 billion dollars a year. (Sydney Morning Herald). I'd introduce a modest wealth tax, as it isn't income that situates a person in the economy, rather it is their net wealth. A net wealth tax of 0.8% would raise 43 billion dollars a year (The Australian). I recon an even 2% would be good. So that's about 100 billion dollars a year, plus another 10 billion in savings and revenue from ending "The War On Drugs". Pay off that one thousand billion dollars in 10 years, heaps of happy voters, some sad social conservatives. Oh well. Probably easier to manage with a free and diverse press. Oh I forgot, I change media ownership laws to one paper per person, subsidise as needed, migrate to electronic.

DARLINGTON, SC (WBTW) – Darlington deputies say one woman could face up to ten years in jail for sexual exploitation of a minor.
Lt. Robert Kilgo with the Darlington County Sheriff's Office says investigators with the Special Victims Unit arrested 43-year-old Charlene Lynn Hammons Wednesday morning.
On Monday, investigators were contacted by the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina about a sexual assault that was captured on video. Over the course of the investigation, deputies discovered Hammons had a video of the assault and was arrested without incident.
Lt. Kilgo says her bond hearing will be held Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Darlington County Detention Center and the case remains under investigation.

Star musician Patricia Kopatchinskaja is to get her violin back after it was seized by Swiss customs officers last weekend, the instrument's owners, the Austrian central bank OeNB, said Thursday.
The rare 1741 Italian-made Guarnerius del Gesu violin called the "ex-Carrodus" is now in Vienna after being recovered from Zurich airport on Wednesday, OeNB spokesman Oliver Huber told AFP.
"And there is nothing to stop it being loaned back" to the Moldova-born virtuoso who lives in Switzerland, Huber said.
Kopatchinskaja, 33, was questioned by Swiss border guards about the 4.5 million euros (6.0 million dollar) instrument when she flew into Zurich airport on Saturday.
As she had not declared the violin upon entry into Swiss territory, the instrument was confiscated by guards and Kopatchinskaja risked a fine of up to 700,000 Swiss francs (488,000 euros, 651,000 dollars).
Swiss residents are required to declare purchases abroad of above 300 Swiss francs in order to pay duty and tax.
The "ex-Carrodus" is one of 36 priceless violins -- including a number of Stradivari -- that the Austrian central bank owns and lends to promising young musicians.
Kopatchinskaja, who also has Austrian nationality, has garnered international awards and critical acclaim in recent years.

You'll go from cheat day to cheat week before you can shout "take-out pizza". Let's be honest, none of us want that to happen. Don't just plunk a bowl of leaves in front of you hoping you'll feel satisfied after, that's almost the equivalent of ordering an exotic cocktail made entirely of water. It's just not going to hit the spot the way you like it.

This picture seems kinda creepy to me. Are there aliens shooting lasers at presents? Exploding steam pipes? The kid is clearly freaked out; either that or he is working on his "jazz hands" for an upcoming Broadway audition.
I know tomorrow there is going to be a cute picture that explains the current one, but that doesn't excuse the freaky one today.

U.S. President Barack Obama and his Mexican counterpart Felipe Calderon have pledged greater cooperation in fighting the global economic crisis, climate change, and Mexico's drug war.
During a welcoming ceremony after Mr. Obama's arrival in Mexico City Thursday, ahead of talks, both leaders said they will work to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Mexico.
Mr. Obama praised Mexico's efforts to take on the drug cartels and said the United States will do its part to prevent the flow of guns and cash over the border. He is expected to announce his support for an arms trafficking pact after talks with Mr. Calderon.
The escalating drug violence in Mexico is of great concern to the United States. The violence has killed more than 7,000 people in Mexico since the beginning of last year, and the violence is spilling over into border communities in the U.S.
News reports Thursday said at least 16 people died in a shootout Wednesday ahead of Mr. Obama's arrival. The reports said the clashes were between soldiers and suspected drug traffickers in the southern state of Guerrero.
After his talks in Mexico, Mr. Obama will travel to Trinidad and Tobago for the Summit of the Americas, where confronting the economic downturn is expected to be high on the agenda of hemispheric leaders.

Mr. Obama: what significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point that demonstrate your personal competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?
President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.
Yes the mainstream press is completely in bed with Obama. But why have the conservative blogs chosen only satire and sarcasm to point out this Prez' lack of accomplishments? Why not make this challenge directly? Is it cowardice? The Left blogs will awaken to this empty suit soon, and the Right will not like the consequences when they do.

Alexander, Miller and Associates are a first class commercial collection agency based in Houston. They are able to work quickly and professionally to regain the debt that you are owed from your clients. They work on all aspects of the commercial collection, from a full investigation after a repayment is required, to the drawing up of a payment plan. The company has a diverse range of services, which you can make the most of depending on your exacting requirements. For example, they provide a free commercial credit report on all delinquent accounts. This will enable you to understand your debtor and put you in a better position for understanding why they might not have paid yet. Debt collection is all about diplomacy and Alexander, Miller and Associates are the masters at providing this service.
The approach that the company takes is comprehensive and they work closely with a client to understand the needs of both parties. They understand that relationships lie at the crux of businesses and if a relationship breaks down, it can be bad for both sides. Alexander, Miller and Associates can act as the middle player and work with the client so that they pay more quickly in the future, keeping both sides happy. Theirs is not the approach of the conventional debt collector. It is one of tact and diplomacy. They prefer to see it as 'rehabilitation' rather than debt collection. They are actually helping both the company that is owed the money (by getting the payee to pay up) and the company that owes the money (by helping them to put their business in a better shape).
The full-scale investigation service is useful in that it yields results but should only be required in drastic case scenarios
The representatives of Alexander, Miller and Associates will go to great lengths to recover the money. They will work to understand the case fully and will even meet with the debtor in prison. A thorough inventory of all personal property will be taken and real estate will be inspected on site. This is to understand the full extent of the assets available so that the company will be able to relieve at least a degree of lost or owed assets. Alexander, Miller and Associates are highly persistent and remain calm and professional throughout the process. There is always a risk when it comes to a commercial collection that violence and hard feeling can break out. This is never the case with the professionals at Alexander, Miller and Associates.
Although they are based in Houston, their services are available across the United States
They have worked in the past in Washington and New York. The skills of their staff are applicable no matter where in the country they are working. The most important thing is that they get the job done, quickly and to a high professional quality. They strengthen relationships if necessary and work to avoid the problem from happening again in the future.

How to change the location of My Documents in XP and Vista
Having just taken delivery of a new system that came pre-installed with Windows Vista and not much else, I'm using the opportunity to right some wrongs in my rather horribly maintained file structure.
I like to keep my non-system/program files on a partition, while leaving the standard C drive to hold the bulk of installed programs and system files. This keeps all my media (movies, music, photos, etc.) seperate from the drive that houses my OS – allowing me a …
