South Dakota Senate Committee Hears Bill on Arming Teachers
PIERRE - A South Dakota Senate committee is looking at a bill that would allow school districts to arm teachers and other personnel with guns.
The measure was passed earlier by the House. The Senate State Affairs Committee planned to hold a public hearing on the bill Friday.
Supporters say school boards need the option of arming teachers, administrators or volunteers to protect against attacks like the recent school shooting in Connecticut.
Opponents argue that arming teachers could make schools more dangerous because it could lead to accidental shootings and put guns in the hands of people who have no extensive training in handling emergency situations.

Shots aren't going in. There's great frustration with the power-play failures. The Western Conference lead has slipped away.
And their old coach beat them.
The Ducks are sitting squarely in what Coach Bruce Boudreau classified Monday as a funk after their 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Coach Randy Carlyle at Honda Center.
After two shootout losses to Montreal and Pittsburgh, the Ducks were done in by the very enemies they'd practiced for.
Toronto forward Phil Kessel, who torched them for a hat trick in October, returned to score a goal and contribute two assists.
The power-play rut worsened to one for 19 after they finished a demoralizing 0 for 4.
"We need to keep shooting," center Ryan Getzlaf said. "We can't let not scoring bring us down all the time. We get down every time we don't score on the power play and instead of using momentum we create during the power, we feel if we don't score, we kill it all. And that can't be the case."
Ex-Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier capped the frustration by stopping 43 of 44 shots on goal, although the Ducks were chafed they didn't make Bernier's life more difficult.
"We made it easy on him," defenseman Francois Beauchemin said. "He saw pretty much all the shots. We should've had more guys in front, getting some screens and tips, just to get in the dirty areas. We're struggling to score because we're not."
After a late first-period goal, Kessel distracted Ducks rookie goalie Frederik Andersen by charging forward, then slid a pass across the ice to defenseman Paul Ranger, who beat Andersen on his opposite side for a 3-0 Toronto lead 3:44 into the second period.
"A lot of things went our way early in the hockey game, and frustration set in on their part," Carlyle said.
Reaching in the deep hole, the Ducks found their game and out-shot the Maple Leafs, 17-9, in the second, breaking through for a goal when Corey Perry closed a barrage by following a Patrick Maroon shot that bounced off Bernier.
Perry has 35 goals, second in the NHL with Kessel third with 34.
Bernier rallied from that moment, especially on the penalty kill, and the Ducks had all 16 shots in the third period denied.
"We know where we stand," defenseman Ben Lovejoy said, referring to trailing St. Louis in the Western Conference and now peeking back at closing San Jose in the Pacific Division. "We need to play better. Our goal is to be the No. 1 team in the NHL."
Instead, they were haunted by Kessel again, his goal coming when he rushed down the ice with a turnover, sprinting ahead of defenders Hampus Lindholm and Beauchemin to force a shot on Andersen that deflected off the knob of Andersen's stick into the goal with 39 seconds remaining in the first period.
"We went over everything," Boudreau said. "Everything they do, we went over. Then, we still make the same mistakes."

Remove investment hurdles, willing to pump $1 bn: Hollande
Admitting that obstacles (to market reform) exist in both the countries, Hollande, winding up his two-day state visit said, "I am not here to interfere in the political decisions but these decisions (to open up markets) are nonetheless necessary. We are all convinced that India has a great future and we want to partake in that," he said, adding the country has the potential to grow at 10 per cent and faces "immense challenges commensurate with its size".
French companies led by the retailer Carrefour and nuclear major Areva, among others, have been waiting to invest in the country but like others in the developed world have blamed the policy environment as being the impeding factor. Underscoring the deep economic ties between the two nations, Hollande said the relations go back to over 150 years with the pioneer being the bank, BNP, and said assets created by 750 French companies here stand at $17 billion at present.
He added that French businesses would like to invest more in an emerging economy like India. "We pride ourselves on being one of the biggest investors here. The stock of our assets here is $17 billion and we wish to increase this investment flow by $1 billion. We are ready for it," he said.
Hollande said French companies are particularly interested in sectors like urban development, railways, space science, energy and nuclear energy given their expertise. Claiming that the the Eurozone crisis is over, Hollande said recession is a major challenge he faces domestically and also invited Indian investments.
"We need help of everybody, especially the big emerging economies like India," he said. Speaking about the need to increase bilateral trade, he said even though there is potential to ramp it up to $12 billion per year, it is only $8 billion now.
On the proposed Indo-EU Free Trade Agreement he said all efforts should be made to increase trade. The FTA negotiations are likely to be completed by April. The French President said when it comes to cooperation, there is a need for the engagement to move beyond the traditional defence and nuclear energy, and offered to facilitate measures in the cultural and scientific spheres also.

General DescriptionThe TS40 conforms to the specifications of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Using the latest advances in LED technology, the TS40 employs a set of synchronized high-intensity LEDs to extend the range of visibility of the sign during the day or night. Furthermore, the LEDs are flashed, which increases driver awareness of the sign.
Why Our Signs are Better
High Visibility
• Type IX reflective sheeting provides outstanding reflective brightness, day or night.
• High intensity LEDs extend the visibility of the sign under all weather conditions.
Superior Performance
• Low power LED technology reduces system power consumption and operating cost.
Outstanding Durability
• Highway grade .080 aluminum construction provides resistance to corrosion.• The use of highway grade Type IX sheeting helps to maintain long term reflectivity.• Stainless steel security fasteners and Tufnut mounting hardware included to keep the sign secure.
• Signs are weatherproof to prevent outside elements from entering the internal casing.
Features• MUTCD section 2A.07 and 2A.08 compliant.
• High visibility, low power consumption.
• Fast, easy installation, low maintenance.
• Field adjustable LED flashing duration (30 seconds standard).
• Vandal-resistant mounting hardware included.

• High intensity LEDs flash in unison, once per second, commanding the attention of drivers day and night.
• Activation options: Continuous 24/7 Flashing, Programmable Timer, or Wireless Push-button.
• Optional LED dimming at night to reduce glare for motorists.
Optional Keyfob Remote Control Transmitter
A keyfob remote can be added to the TS40 to allow for wireless activation and deactivation of the sign. This is ideal for applications where temporary sign activation is required. For example, crossing guards would have the ability to turn on the flashing lights when children enter the crosswalk and then stop the lights when the children clear the crosswalk. The keyfob would also allow firefighters to activate "fire station ahead" signs when exiting their station and merging with traffic. After the keyfob is used to active the lights, the lights will flash for 90 seconds, or until deactivated with the keyfob. The keyfob has a range of 500 feet.
Optional Door Switch Activation
Activates signs when a door is opened.
Optional Photo-Sensor Bollard Activation
Activates signs when pedestrian passes between two bollards.
Optional Push-Button Activation
Provides a simple and convenient way for pedestrians to activate the signs. Wireless or wired push-button activation is available.

Colorful Cooking: The chicken and the egg
Tomatillos are a green fruit that are found in many Mexican, Latin American and Texas-style cuisines. They are tart in flavor, packed with vitamin C, low in calories and fat and heart healthy. Tomatillos contain anti-bacterial components and are a cancer-fighting food. This colorful food is also high in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.Choosing and preparing this healthy food is easy. Pick tomatillos that are green and firm with the flaky husk intact (yellow tomatillos are more ripe and difficult to work with). To store them, keep the husk on and keep them in the refrigerator for about two weeks. When preparing the tomatillo we primarily use them in a vegetable style – they are very acidic to eat raw like fruit. Salsa's are a great way to enjoy tomatillos since the fruit contains a pectin-like substance that helps bind the sauce ingredients together. Remove the husk and you will find a sticky layer, this needs to be washed off before cooking. Below are two methods to make tomatillo salsa. Dry roasting tomatillos softens the meat and adds a nice smoky flavor to your dish. Blanching the ingredients is a quick way to create a salsa. They have a mellow lemon flavor as well, so adding other ingredients like spicy peppers give the sauce balance. Tracy Miller adds fruits and veggies to all her meals.

What are you talking about? This isn't the pro-bowl.
I thought is was always afc vs nfc
Last edited by JohnnyJet; 08-05-2012 at 09:41 PM. Reason: im a lil off
What are you talking about? This isn't the pro-bowl.
I always thought is was one team from the afc vs. one team from the nfc. How did that confuse you?
From 1971 to 2008, and again in 2010, the opponents were one AFC team vs. one NFC team. In 2009, as recognition of the 50th season of the charter members of the American Football League, the game paired two of the 'original eight' franchises of that league, the Tennessee Titans (dressed as their previous incarnation, the Houston Oilers) and the Buffalo Bills, whose owner (Ralph Wilson) was inducted into the Hall that year. The two teams were chosen because Wilson and the Oilers'/Titans' owner, Bud Adams, were the last surviving original AFL owners still alive and owning their teams.
NFL breaking tradition ...Thats the answer
For 37 years it was one...yes ONE entire team from each conference. Pay attention
actually no I had to do a search after you guys confused this game with the all-star game
Im glad I could clear it up for us though
I didnt bring up the pro-bowl.
You can't make this stuff up! LMAO
Man you guys are good

Sinhala Film Mahindagamanaya Story
Spiritual wake up through cinema – Ruwini Jayawardana
More than 2,350 years ago, in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by nature's splendors, a dramatic encounter which will go down in the annals of history unfolded. Two characters received precedence at this meet. One was Ven. Arahant Mahinda Thera, son of Emperor Asoka, and the other was the reigning king of Sri Lanka, King Devanampiyatissa.
Ven. Arahant Mahinda Thera was on a sacred mission to spread the teachings of the Buddha. However such precepts cannot be handed over in one go. The monarch's intellectual stature was graded after a quiz. He withstood the test. The island prospered by embracing Buddhism.
Bringing this significant moment of spiritual awakening to mind thousands of Buddhists visit Mihintale, the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, each year on Poson Poya day. This milestone in the history will be rekindled when director Sanath Abeysekara begins shoot on his much talked about movie Mahindagamanaya. The Muhurath ceremony of the event took place at Gangaramaya temple last week. Ven. Pallagama Hemarathana Thera, Ven. Galabada Thera, Ven. Agalakada Sirisumana Thera and Ven. Magalle Nabitha Thera took part in the event which evoked blessings for the project.
The film is part of the project aimed at celebrating the 2600th Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi in 2011. It aims to send the message of the compassionate nature of Buddhism across to the world.
Speaking at the event, director Abeysekara said that President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Buddhist Affairs Ministry have been very keen on the film. He added that he had worked on the script for nearly a year and had done a lot of background research to include accurate details to the story.
"The opening chapters of the movie include a few scenes of Emperor Asoka. We will be flying to India in January to shoot these episodes. We are constructing the monuments of places and other buildings and working on the costumes. These have to be done with care so that modern elements do not emerge in the pictures.
Even the characters acted and talked in a specific manner. We hope to give the full experience of travelling back in time for the audience," Abeysekara noted. He also said that he had to undergo several threats and criticism when he took up the challenge of making the movie.
"Some questioned why a young and less experienced filmmaker should take on such a colossal project but I withstood my ground. Shooting is scheduled for November and December in Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Trincomalee and Vavuniya," he said. He also added that one focal point of the tale is the moment when Queen Anula and Prince Aritta renunciate from lay life and enter the Order of Sangha. This will be done in a realistic manner; Abeysekara stressed while pointing out that it was only after Buddhism took over the isle that the locals were gifted with rich literary work.
Producer of Mahindagamanaya, Daminda Upali Fernando of Best Life Cinema said that one of the main reasons which motivated him to produce the movie is the fact that the director's self confidence and dedication.
He added that the movie will be made as an act of social hospitality service rather than a tool for profit making.
Mohammed NAALIR in Tanthirimale
Mahindagamanaya, the arrival of Arahat Mahinda in Sri Lanka with the noblest gift of Buddhism changed the country's history and laid the foundation for a civilization based on Buddhism.
Although the story is well-known and commemorated every year on Poson Poya Day, there have not been many attempts to portray it artistically, through film or television. Who in Sri Lanka, regardless of his or her religion, does not know about the meeting between Arahat Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa, who was hunting deer when the Great Arahat called him from atop the Mihintale rock?
This artistic lacuna is about to be filled, as several leading film personalities are making a film which depicts the advent of Buddhism to Sri Lanka. Although the film is based on Mahindagamanaya, it is also an attempt to explore the norms and values of Buddhism. It will be a film for all Sri Lankans, not only Buddhists.
Shooting on "Mahindagamanaya" commenced in the precincts of historic Tanthirimale Raja Maha Vihara precincts in Anuradhapura District last week. According to the Director 75 per cent of the shooting of "Mahindagamanaya" has been completed so far.
This is the maiden directorial effort of Sanath Abeysekara, who has 32 teledramas to his credit. The idea of making a film on this great event in the country's history came to him when he was reading the Mahavamsa. He has remained faithful to the Mahavamsa account when making this movie. According to the Director the film "Mahindagamanaya" will highlight the advent of Arahat Mahinda Thera to Sri Lanka and the social, cultural, religious and economic developments that occurred in our country afterwards. The film will depict the period 2250-2010 BC.
After King Devanampiyatissa ascended to the throne King Asoka of India, himself a warrior King who embraced Buddhism and became non-violent, sent Arahat Mahinda Thera to Sri Lanka to preach Buddhism. Although various beliefs existed in Sri Lanka even at that time, the concept of a religion was unheard of.
After the advent of Ven. Arahat Mahinda Thera to Sri Lanka, people who venerated trees and devils started to embrace Buddhism to correct their path and lead a peaceful life. Buddhism laid the foundation for a vibrant society that valued the Buddha Dhamma.
It paved the way for the creation of an Order of the Maha Sangha, who guided the people on moral uplift. The film Mahindagamanaya will depict this transformation.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has taken a keen interest in the film and instructed the relevant authorities to make funds available for the film. Veteran film star Jeevan Kumaratunga plays the role of King Devanampiyatissa and veteran actress Dilhani Ekanayake is playing the main female role Anuladevi.
Kumaratunga, who is Posts Minister, told the Sunday Observer that although he has played many roles in his cinematic career, this is the first time he is playing such a pivotal historical role. This will be especially significant as next year marks the 2600th Sambuddha Jayanthi. The film too will be released next year.
Roshan Pilapitiya who plays the role of Maha Aritta Kumara in "Mahindagamanaya" is also very happy to play such a character in a historical film. Maha Aritta Kumara was the first Sri Lankan who was ordained as a Bhikku in the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
Dilhani Ekanayake who is playing the role Queen Anuladevi said that this is a new experience for her. She is keen to try out ancient dresses and to visit ancient historic places. She described her character as a tough one. Roshan Pilapitiya, Roshan Ranawana, Oshaoli Hewamadduma, Chinthaka Kulathunga, Dulika Marapana, G. R. Perera, Sarath Dikkumbura, Hemasiri Liyanage, Jayani Senanayake, Kumara Thirimadura, Palitha Nanayakkara, Gnananga Gunawardane and several other actors will be featured in "Mahindagamanaya".
The film is being produced by Best Life Films. Music is by Rohana Weerasinghe. The Art Director is Sunil Wijeratne. The Costumes are designed by Heenatigala Premadasa, while cinematography is handled by Chamara Dammika Ratnayake and Channa Deshapriya.

Fertility after Leukemia treatment
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a 24-year-old female who had APL leukemia in august 1999. I took Ara-C, Daunorubicin, and Retnoic acid pills. I would like to try to have a baby with my husband and need to know if the chemo could have caused damage to the eggs and or if the risks of having a handicapped child are very great. I am really worried about it. I have become depressed due to thinking I might not be able to have kids. Please help me or lead me in the direction I need to go to get answers.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Usually the chemotherapy and pills that you received are not expected to affect fertility. If you have resumed regular menses that is a good sign. It is not safe to conceive while you are on these medications, however, if you have been off all medicines for at least 3 months, there is no increased risk of birth defects.

Extending Rational Team Concert - RTC Extending
Matching: new X
Creating a New Link Type
EduardoBello 270003RXWC Tags:  rtc type link new 5 Comments 24,948 Views
The RTC has many types of links that we can use, but depending on the software development process of your business, you may feel the need to create a new type of relationship between WorkItems. In my opinion, this creation of new link types, although not very complicated, could be more simplified.
Anyone who has read the previous posts or have developed some plugin for RTC will have no difficulty in creating a new type of link, because it is nothing more than a plugin. The main difference is that you have to install the plugin on the server and if you use the Ide Client you have to install the eclipse plugin directly into the client as well.
As I said earlier a link type is a plugin, so the first step is to create a Plug-in Project
Name your plugin, in our case we call it rtc_rework_link, as it will indicate that a workitem is a Rework opened by another (Rework Opener). Remember, do not select any additional options to create the plugin.
Go to Dependencies tab and add the plugin com.ibm.tean.repository.common
Now, go to the Extensions tab, add the Extension Point com.ibm.team.repository.common.linkTypes. Then right click on newly created item, choose New -> LinkTypes. Fill out the following properties:
id: com.ibm.team.apt.linktype.rework
constrained: true
internal: false
In plugin.xml tab, which is actually the source code of the plugin, add the elements <source> and <target> to the <linkType> element that was created in the previous step. Note that you can skip the previous step and configure directly the plugin.xml with all options. I chose to show the previous step so that you can relate the tab with the xml element.
The above code defines a type of link that connects two WorkItems (itemReferenceType). One source WorkItem will be called Rework and has cardinality 0..n, and the target WorkItem will be called WorkItem Rework Opener and have cardinality 0..1.
There, the plugin is finished. Only thing left is the well-known steps of creating a feature for the plugin, create the update site for the feature and deploy the site on the server. If you have questions regarding these steps take a look at this post to remember.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, if you use the RTC Client (Eclipse) will need to install the plugin directly on the client. This is done in the same way you install any plugin via the Eclipse Update Sites. Access: Help -> Install New Software... . Click Add to add the new site, choose the location where the Update Site was compiled, select your plugin and install it normally.
Any questions just email me, tweet or comment here. See you!

In honor of his 100th birthday, local historical societies are looking back at President John F. Kennedy's time in Westchester, when he lived in Bronxville.
"Growing Up Kennedy In Westchester: The Bronxville Years (1921-1941)" will take place at Cortlandt Town Hall Saturday at 2 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Yorktown Historical Society, Croton Friends of History and the Van Cortlandtville Historical Society and presented by historian Anthony Czarnecki.
The family lived on a 5.5 acre compound on Pondfield Road in Bronxville when the future president was 12 years old.
Although he spent much of his time attending the Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, Kennedy was a member of the local Boy Scout Troop 2 and attended dance classes at the Gramatan Ballroom.
Kennedy returned to Bronxville as a senator in 1958 for Ted Kennedy's wedding to Bronxville native Joan Bennett. The reception was held at Siwanoy Country Club on Pondfield Road.
Czarnecki will discuss how their Bronxville home and social life in Westchester provided a family-centered experience during the formative years of the Kennedy siblings, using newly-discovered materials from local archives, family documents from the JFK Presidential Library and recent memoirs.

Media repeat unsubstantiated Horowitz tale of anti-conservative bias on campus
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
As part of a campaign to promote an "Academic Bill of Rights" on college and university campuses, conservative pundit David Horowitz has repeatedly cited an incident in which he claims that a criminology professor at the University of Northern Colorado asked students to explain "why President Bush was a war criminal" for a mid-term exam essay, then failed a student who chose instead to explain why Saddam Hussein is a war criminal. Horowitz claimed that this student testified about her experience at a special hearing before the Colorado state legislature in December 2003. But Horowitz has never provided the names of the professor or the student, and transcripts of the hearing to which Horowitz himself linked do not mention the incident. Nonetheless, accounts of the alleged incident have been repeated in several national media outlets.
Horowitz is the founder of Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), an organization that describes itself as "a clearing house and communications center for a national coalition of student organizations whose goal is to end the political abuse of the university and to restore integrity to the academic mission as a disinterested pursuit of knowledge." SAF promotes Horowitz's "Academic Bill of Rights" and lists instances of alleged anti-conservative bias on campuses across the country, including the alleged episode at the University of Northern Colorado. The SAF website itself does not identify the University of Northern Colorado as the site of the alleged "war criminal" incident occurred -- it refers instead to "a Colorado university" and is the only one of the 12 such incidents on the SAF list for which no specific institution is identified -- but Horowitz has identified the University of Northern Colorado as the site of the incident in other forums.
In a September 13, 2004, article on FrontPageMag.com, of which Horowitz is co-founder and editor-in-chief, he wrote about the December 2003 hearing before the Colorado state legislature: "Among the evidence presented at this December hearing was testimony from a student at the University of Northern Colorado who told legislators that a required essay topic on her criminology mid-term exam was: 'Explain why George Bush is a war criminal.' When she submitted an essay explaining why Saddam Hussein was a war criminal instead, she was given an 'F.'" The article contained a link to a transcript of the December 18, 2003, hearing, hosted on the SAF website (page 1 and page 2). But the transcript itself contains no mention of the "University of Northern Colorado," "Saddam Hussein," "war criminal," "war crimes," "criminology," or anything else to indicate that any such incident was discussed at the hearing. A search for "Bush" turns up unrelated references.
Notwithstanding his failure to document the alleged incident, Horowitz has repeatedly pushed this story as an example of what he considers anti-conservative bias in America's universities. In a December 5, 2003, FrontPageMag.com column, Horowitz referenced the story, though he attributed it to "a Colorado university," not to the University of Northern Colorado. Other publications have cited the alleged incident, including The Christian Science Monitor; The New York Sun (registration required); and an op-ed on OpinionJournal.com, the website of the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, by Brian C. Anderson, senior editor of City Journal, a quarterly magazine published by the conservative Manhattan Institute.
Horowitz also referenced this story twice during an online chat session on "Colloquy Live," hosted by the Chronicle of Higher Education's website. In the course of the chat session, a person who identified himself as a teacher from the University of Northern Colorado questioned the need for Horowitz's "Academic Bill of Rights," to which Horowitz responded, in part: "Isn't your school the one where a criminology professor assigned a paper 'Why George Bush is a war criminal'? I think you have problems." None of these references to the alleged incident cites specific details, such as a date or the names of the student, the professor or the course.
Mano Singham, the director of Case Western Reserve University's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education, described his own fruitless efforts to locate the professor in question in a March 4 op-ed in The Cleveland Plain Dealer:
So I called the acting head of the political science department, the dean's office and the provost's office at the University of Northern Colorado and asked them if they knew anything more. They had never heard of this story and were all surprised to hear that they were supposedly harboring this fiend. You would think they would have known since any student grievance against the professor would surely have been a high-profile case, at least reported in the local newspapers.
I was baffled. But then on April 6 [2004], Horowitz sent me in a different direction when he gave an interview on NPR; he said that this story was part of testimony given by students at a special hearing of the state legislature in Colorado, called to look into alleged abuses of this kind.
So I obtained transcripts of the Colorado legislative hearings. But mysteriously, no such testimony appeared there.
As a last resort, I tried a Google search of this story, but none of the hits identified Professor X.
This incident is not the first time that Horowitz has trumpeted dubious anecdotes in the service of his ideological agenda. Media Matters for America has documented Horowitz's embrace of Kuwaiti student Ahmad al-Qloushi, who claimed he received a failing grade on a term paper because it expressed a "pro-American" viewpoint. In fact, al-Qloushi's professor and a number of conservative bloggers who have seen the paper maintain that it deserved a failing grade.

Modernising higher education – facts and figures
1. Why does Europe need more graduates?
In today's interdependent global economy, success in innovative, high value sectors is crucial to Europe's economic growth and ability to create jobs in the decades to come. Creating and filling the knowledge-intensive jobs of the future requires highly skilled people who can respond to the opportunities and demands of the modern economy. Recent European skills forecasts indicate that 35% of jobs in the EU are likely to require a higher education qualification by 20201. But today, only 26% of the European workforce (aged 25-64) holds a degree. This compares with almost 41% in the US, 44% in Japan and 50% in Canada (2009 figures).
Figure 1: Higher education graduates as a share of the working age population (25-64)
Source: Eurostat (for EU-27) OECD, Education at a Glance 2011 (for US, Australia [AU], Korea [KO], Japan [JP], Canada [CA])
2. Doesn't Europe already have a problem with graduate unemployment?
As a result of the economic crisis, unemployment has increased in nearly all EU Member States. While jobless rates among those with higher education qualifications increased between 2008 and 2010 in all EU Member States except Germany, rates of graduate unemployment remain significantly lower than among those with only secondary school qualifications. In 2010, the average unemployment rate among higher education graduates in the EU was 5.4%, compared with 8.7% for those with upper secondary qualifications (those who typically left school or college at 18 or 19) and 15.4% for those who did not complete secondary school or equivalent. As shown in Table 1, higher education graduates have higher rates of employment than those with lower levels of qualification in all EU Member States (data for quarter 4 of 2010).
Table 1: Employment rates by level of educational attainment - 20-64 yr olds (2010 Q4)
Source: Eurostat, EU Labour Force Survey
3. Where do we stand on the EU's target for higher education attainment?
In June 2010, as part of the Europe 2020 growth strategy, EU leaders agreed a target that 40% of 30-34 year olds in the European Union should have a higher education degree or equivalent level of qualification by 2020. This age group was selected – rather than the working age population as a whole – to make it easier to monitor progress. EU governments have since set their own national targets for 2020, taking account of their national circumstances. In 2010, 33.6% of 30-34 year olds in the EU had a higher education qualification. Figure 2 shows the level of higher education attainment among 30-34 year olds in EU Member States in 2010, along with the national targets agreed as part of Europe 20202. If current trends in higher education expansion continue, the EU is broadly on course to reach the 40% target by the end of the decade.

4. How much do EU Member States spend on higher education?
Sustained and efficient investment is an important pre-requisite for high quality higher education. As shown in Table 2, the proportion of national income Member States spend on higher education varies considerably, as does the relative balance between public and private spending. In 20084, the average level of direct spending on higher education in the EU, public and private spending combined, was 1.3% of GDP, varying from around 1.1% in Slovakia to almost 2.3% in Denmark. A majority of expenditure on higher education comes from the public purse, although private expenditure is far from insignificant, rising to 0.7% of GDP or above in Denmark, Bulgaria, Cyprus and the UK. Spending on higher education in the EU is considerably lower than in the US, where total (private and public) investment amounted to 2.7% of GDP in 2008.

Source: Eurostat (UOE data collection) No data for Greece, Luxembourg and Malta
Direct public spending, covers spending on institutions, including on research and development, but excludes student support
5. What is the current situation in the EU concerning tuition fees?
Pressure on public finances is one of the factors underpinning a trend toward the introduction or increase of tuition fees in the EU. The diversity of tuition fee and student support systems around Europe is striking. Tuition fees are an important source of private funding for higher education in some Member States, while others charge no tuition fees to national and EU students.
Table 3: Most commonly charged tuition fees in the first (Bachelor) and second (Masters) cycles, 2009/10 (EUR, PPS5)
Source: Eurydice (2011), 'Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe: Funding and the Social Dimension'
6. What about student support?
Whether or not tuition fees contribute to higher education funding, there is a consensus that appropriate student support mechanisms are needed to ensure that those from low income backgrounds are able to access higher education on an equal footing. The main forms of student support are grants and loans, although indirect support measures, such as tax benefits for parents of students in higher education, play a significant role in some countries. As shown in Figure 4, grants and scholarships are generally awarded on the basis of economic need (for example, family income) and / or academic performance or merit. The Nordic countries and Wales (UK) have universal grant systems.
Figure 3: Criteria for awarding grants/scholarships in the first and second cycles, 2009/10

See CEDEFOP (2010) Skills supply and demand in Europe: Medium-term forecast up to 2020, http://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/Files/3052_en.pdf
The Netherlands and the UK have not established formal national targets for higher education attainment. Germany and Austria have included attainment of high-level vocational qualifications (classed as "post secondary, non tertiary" level / ISCED 4) in the definition of their national targets
In 2010, the level of "post secondary, non tertiary" (ISCED 4) attainment among 30-34 year olds in Austria was 13.5%, meaning the combined tertiary education and ISCED 4 attainment rate stood at 37%. In Germany in 2010, ISCED 4 attainment among the same age group stood at 11.6%, resulting in a combined tertiary and "equivalent" attainment level of 41.4% (data from Eurostat, EU Labour Force Survey)
Comparable cross-national data on investment in higher education are complex to calculate and thus do not become available until two years after the reference year
Purchasing Power Standard (PPS) is an artificial reference currency unit used by the European Union to enable comparison of the value of goods and services between countries. It is obtained using a currency conversion rate (Purchasing Power Parity PPP) which equalises the purchasing power of different national currencies.

Liam Neeson Will Kill Everyone in 'The All Nighter'
At this point in his career, Liam Neeson is practically the patron saint of killing as many bad guys as it takes to protect your family, so it makes perfect sense that he's in negotiations to star in 'The All Nighter.' Boiled down to its basic elements, the film sounds like another entry in the "older badass kills countless people after they threaten his family" subgenre. Throw in a few tense cell phone conversations and you have classic Neeson.
To be fair, 'The All Nighter' differs from the 'Taken' films in two immediately distinct ways. First, it will take place over the course of one long night. Secondly, Neeson will not play a mercenary, but a retired hitman, making this the first Neeson action movie to cast him on the wrong side of the law. Here's a plot synopsis, courtesy of The Wrap:
The story follows an aging hit man who, in order to protect his wife and son, must take on his former boss in a single night. He then winds up on the run from the mob and the authorities with his estranged son.
Actually, that synopsis sounds more like the excellent French thriller 'Sleepless' night (which takes place in one location over one long night) than either of the 'Taken' films, but whatever. The moment you cast Liam Neeson as a man who has to kill his way across a city to save his family, you've opened yourself to infinite 'Taken' comparisons. This is the blessing and the curse of the Neeson.
What do you think? Will you ever get tired of Liam Neeson playing the action hero?

text: David Kempshall Posted September 16, 2011 Each year we give you an update on the status of copy protection and activation of Football Manager and the decisions taken as we know it's a hot topic for many of you, although for many others it's not really an issue at all. As you may remember, last year we decided against any activation as we couldn't find a solution that we thought struck a balance on combatting piracy and not penalising the genuine consumer. We did make our position on anti-piracy pretty clear though, we see it as a big problem for our game and we said we'd continue to look for a solution that stopped, or made it very difficult to pirate the game and play it for free. This year we have found what we believe is an acceptable solution. Any version of Football Manager 2012 bought on disc will have to be activated through the Steam network, so therefore purchasers will have to have an internet connection for initial activation. This is a one-time only activation which requires you to sign up for a Steam account (which is free) and to install the Steam client and once it has been done the game can be played offline by turning on Steam's Offline mode. With those two simple steps done there are no more hoops to jump through or steps to take. We appreciate that the vast majority of people reading this post on the forums are genuine consumers of the game, and that having to activate is not as simple as putting the game in the drive and playing. However we hope that, as a fan of the game, you feel that having to do a one-time activation is worth it to try to prevent others playing the game for free and stealing what you purchase with no punishment, and with no contribution toward the future of Football Manager and it's development. Make no mistake, if a quarter of the people that usually pirate the game switch to purchasing Football Manager 2012, the sales of the game worldwide would more than double. This would lead to increased development budgets and more benefits for all of you who do buy the game. We've taken this decision because we believe that the steps the consumer has to take are not excessive, and that as a one-time only measure with no tracking or reporting it is not too intrusive. Having worked with Steam for a few years now we also believe that their system is ever improving and gives Football Manager players a good service of free auto-updating, achievements and other great benefits without cost or hassle. We hope you understand and support the decision. It's by no means taken lightly, although I hope for the vast majority of you it's nowhere near as big an issue as we treat it as being. In summary: • You need to connect to the internet to activate Football Manager 2012 on PC and Mac before you start playing it • To activate you will need to sign up to, and install the Steam client • Once you have activated Football Manager 2012 you can then play it in Steam's "offline mode" - meaning you do not have to be connected to the internet to play • Saved games are stored locally on your machine, but you can play Football Manager on any machine by signing into Steam and selecting it from your purchased games • Staying connected to Steam will mean Football Manager 2012 is automatically updated with any patches or data updates released Football Manager 2012 Activation / Steam FAQ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How will I know if need continuing education classes?
Many career fields require continuing education credits for licensure, such as doctors, nurses, acupuncturists, architects, interior designers, and teachers. Upon initial licensure, the licensing board should tell you how often you need to renew your license and what the requirements are to do so. Most licensing boards will also be able to tell you where you can fulfill such requirements. To contact your board, visit your state's government website for contact details.
Many continuing education courses are not designed for people who need them, but for rather, people who want them. Many community colleges and other local learning centers offer courses for people with a general interest in foreign languages, arts and crafts, recreational cooking, business, fitness, and more.
Why do I have to take continuing education courses?
Continuing education helps professionals keep up with changes in the industry. In many fields, new research comes out daily and it is important for people in the field to understand the significant developments and how they impact daily work. Continuing education courses also give industry professionals a way to network and learn what future developments are coming their way.
Continuing education is also the phrase used to describe anyone going back to school to continue their education. This may be required continuing education for people who need it to advance in their careers, or an optional endeavor for anyone interested in a new career or learning more about their current career.
Where are continuing ed classes offered?
Community colleges are a great place to find continuing education courses. Four-year colleges may also offer continuing education courses. Professional organizations and associations often host courses across the country that meet industry requirements. Many continuing education courses are now also available online.
How can I pay for continuing education classes?
How to pay for a continuing education course largely depends on the type of course and where it is offered. Continuing students pursuing a degree program may qualify for federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. Singular continuing education courses may not qualify for financial aid, but often, employers cover the cost of such classes. If payment is a concern, be sure to ask lots of questions about tuition and aid options, and also shop around to see if the same courses are offered at better rates.
Why should I consider online continuing education?
Studying online is a convenient way for students to fit in continuing education credits without disrupting their daily lives. Online programs remove all barriers, including those caused by work schedules and location. An online program allows a student to study from home, at whatever time is most convenient. Visit OnlineSchools.net for helpful more resources about online education.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will sign a three-year extension, keeping the Super Bowl-winning coach in place through the 2014 season.
Tomlin is 31-17 in three seasons as Pittsburgh's coach, never suffering a losing season. This past season, he missed the playoffs for the first time since he took over for Bill Cowher in 2007. The Steelers, without SS Troy Polamalu and DE Aaron Smith for the vast majority of the season, lost seven games by a combined 28 points, with the largest deficit being a six-point loss to Cleveland - the first loss to the Browns since 2003.
This season will prove to be the most difficult in Tomlin's tenure, being without starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for at least four games, and without starting right tackle Willie Colon for the season. Steelers leading receiver Santonio Holmes was traded to the Jets after it was announced he picked up a four-game suspension for violation of the substance abuse policy.
Tomlin has said he wants to return to a stronger rushing attack this year after the team struggled in that department a season ago. The contract has been earned to date, but all eyes will be on Pittsburgh, more pointedly, at Tomlin and his ability to bring the Steelers back to the playoffs.

Barber of C'ville: Staples looks back on hairy past
When Ken Staples started barbering back in 1956, a haircut cost 75 cents. Forty-seven years later, the same cut runs $11– a nearly 1,500 percent increase. But that's about all that has changed.
"It's exactly the same way it was in the '30s," says septuagenarian Staples, whose father, Albert, opened the first Staples' Barber Shop in downtown Charlottesville in 1923 and didn't retire until 1994, at the ripe old age of 96.
Though barbering might have been in his blood– Staples recalls sweeping out his father's shop as a child– it wasn't until he'd already put in a decade at the C&O Railroad that he finally heard the scissor-snapping call of the barber shop. After training at a barbering school, Staples joined his father, and for decades the two worked side by side.
Unlike some fathers and sons, Staples says he shared an unusually close relationship with his dad. "We just enjoyed each other's company," he says.
Today, Staples works side by side with a stable of relative newcomers. There's John Tucker, who's been snipping at Staples since October '61, Frank Sprouse, who joined the shop in '66, and James Schafer, who arrived in '67. Then there are the real newbies– Earl Putnam with 13 years at Staple's, Kevin Armstrong with four, and the "rookie," Bill Lanier, who joined the team just last year.
But while gray hair abounds both in and behind the chairs, Staples says barber shops are experiencing a rebirth.
"Twenty years ago," he says, "men were going to salons." Not so much anymore. The wait on a recent Saturday: nearly an hour. The all-male crowd sitting in the seats lining the walls of the shop ranged from toddling first-timers to grandfatherly types, and it's this diversity Staples enjoys so much.
And there's rising interest in the barbering trade, Staples says. He'd like to see barbering offered as a course at vocational schools everywhere, since the current training is lengthy (a full year) and expensive (several thousand dollars).
While cutting hair has been perhaps the most prominent part of Ken Staples' life, he's quick to point out that Charlottesville has been rich with other creative opportunities.
"I have a flair for show biz," says Staples, who, among many roles, has played Peter Pan and once dressed as Carol Channing to sing "Hello, Dolly." But, he adds, "I never had visions of grandeur, that Hollywood would grab me up." Singing, acting, and emceeing locally were "enough," he explains, though he's quick to add with a sly grin, "I wouldn't turn down an offer."
Though Staples says he's slowing down a little ("I can't sing as well as I used to, and I certainly can't move as fast as I used to") he has no plans for full retirement.
What keeps him clipping?
"The people," he says, nodding, "the people."

USA Badminton's Three-time Olympian Kevin Han Starts Job with the NBA as Director of Basketball Operations for China
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Kevin Han, a three-time Olympian (1996, 2000 and 2004) and the most decorated athlete in USA Badminton history, is returning to the country of his birth as his career advances as the Director of Basketball Operations for China. Han most recently worked for the United States Olympic Committee as a Manager in the Sport Partnerships Division. Han joined the USOC in January 2006 as a part of the USOC Management Development Program. After being hired full-time as a Manager of Sport Partnerships in August 2006, Han's cultural knowledge of China and his linguistic ability to speak both Mandarin and English made him a valuable liaison for the U.S. Olympic Committee with China as the USOC made preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Han plans to use his expertise in this area to help the NBA further its growth in China. While at the USOC, Han pursued graduate studies at Regis University in Denver Colo. Han graduated summa cum laude from Regis University with his Masters of Business Administration degree in International Business in 2008. In December 2008, Han was honored by USOC Chief Executive Officer Jim Scherr with the USOC's inaugural CEO Award of Excellence as the organization's employee of the year.
In his new position with the NBA, Han is responsible for developing and overseeing the Basketball Operations Department in China. His duties include developing a comprehensive knowledge base and expertise of the entire spectrum of the local basketball landscape ranging from junior programs up through professional leagues. Han will develop an extensive database of key basketball contacts both nationally and regionally that will include sports administrators, players, coaches and trainers, etc. He will recruit, train and develop a group of local basketball 'people' who can be the foundation for future NBA operations. By developing detailed lists of all basketball related activities across the market, he will consult, design and input into grassroots initiatives; from basketball camps and clinics to events and basketball academies. Han will be influential to the NBA's international initiatives by contributing into the development of the Country Strategic Business Plan by ensuring an understanding of basketball on the 'ground'. The NBA will look for Han to provide leadership in the shaping of major basketball events and ensuring the quality of basketball events in China is high.
Han is the most decorated athlete in USA Badminton history. He represented the United States of America at the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga., Sydney, Australia and Athens, Greece respectively. He won gold medals in both the 1999 and 2003 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He is a 13-time USA Badminton National Champion and was honored by the United States Olympic Committee as the Badminton Athlete of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee for nine consecutive years (1994-2002).
While training and competing, Han spent time in the late 1990's as a resident athlete at the United States Olympic Complex in Colorado Springs, Colo. While living in Colorado Springs, he also attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. Upon graduation, he worked for Worldcom/Electronic Data Systems (EDS), in Colorado Springs, as a Systems Analyst, Enterprise Automated Solutions from 1999-2002. In 2002 Han moved from Colorado Springs to Orange, Calif. to train at the Orange County Badminton Club. While in Orange, he also participated in the Home Depot's Olympic Job Opportunity Program from 2002-2004 as an Operations Specialist for the Home Depot, providing support for over 80 users and desktop support for over 250 internal users.
Born in Shanghai, China on November 25, 1972, Han has returned to his home country to work for one of the premier sporting organizations (NBA) of his adopted country, the United States of America. In his NBA position, Han is based out of Beijing, China.

Fango Flashback: "THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW" (1970)Movies/TV,News,Reviews Samuel Zimmerman
We are perhaps inherently sympathetic to witches on film. They are, after all, creatures and characters of folklore and horror with the most significant and legitimate real-life counterparts. Those counterparts, aside from putting their faith in something seemingly older and wiser than most all, have been the unjustified targets of horrifying religious and gender-based persecution throughout history—most notoriously in the 17th Century. This weighs on the viewer, informing even films and tales in which witches are practicing magick in the name of some larger darkness, most especially in the type of Tigon British Film Productions pictures dubbed "Folk Horror" where more often than not, those charged with stopping pagan deeds are real bastards. For example: the harrowing, cruel Matthew Hopkins in perhaps the best "Folk Horror" film, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, or even the intensely stuffy Sergeant Howie in Robin Hardy's classic THE WICKER MAN.
THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW then—the second best of the Tigon films following WITCHFINDER GENERAL—proves a most interesting and conflicting watch. Set in that lovely, if harsh, landscape of 17th century rural England, Piers Haggard's film pits a village against a growing evil within their youth, unleashed by one young man's discovery of a deformed skull. For a cinematic countryside town in the 1600s however, the folks of THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW are actually fairly forward thinking, trying to do away with superstition and fears of the unknown. When Ralph, the boy who happens upon the beastly skull, informs the local judge (Patrick Wymark) of his discovery he's mostly dismissed. Even after the darkness begins to spread, as one young lady goes mad (and sports a claw that really only the audience sees) and her fiancé lops off his own hand in the aftermath, the judge removes himself from the village and film for thirty minutes or so.
While he's away, the teenagers throw their village into an uproar, capturing those who are (un)lucky enough to bear Satan's skin—an unsettling patch of fur that grows on the body—and sacrifice them so that their dark lord may materialize as a full satanic beast. The kids are eerie and merciless to their peers and elders, with their leader Angel Blake (Linda Hayden, possessing an enchanting hold not dissimilar to Britt Ekland in THE WICKER MAN) even attempting to frame a priest. Again, the town is so steadfast against superstition, or maybe in denial, that the squire would rather believe the priest a lecherous murderer than in the existence of supernatural malevolence.
By all accounts, and differing from films of a similar nature, the growing cult in the ruined church on the outskirts of town deserves to be stopped. Yet, when a woman the audience sees at a ritual (and who later full on pledges allegiance to Satan) is thrown into a body of water to see if she'll sink, it's wince-inducing. Could it be the hazy 60s filter and occult interests informing the period piece? Could it be the mental image of the historical practice on undeserving victims? What of our own fetishes as horror fans, many of whom undoubtedly love the black magick aesthetic? In 1970's CRY OF THE BANSHEE, a cult operating in a crypt also offer their services in the name of the Devil, but we only see them practice evil on their oppressors after Vincent Price's Lord Charles Whitman kills two of their young brethren. Even in THE WICKER MAN, they sacrifice Howie in the name of crops rather than a pure evil.
It feels as if THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW is only allowed to become the judge's film in its final moments. Angel Blake's features may grow ever harsher (dig those dark eyebrows), but she remains engrossing and beautiful (even when her outright rejection of a girl who's lost her Satan skin is harsh, and she's accompanied by distressing score). When the final black mass gets underway, the judge can only become a hero a) once we see the oddly creepy Satanic beast in full and b) with cinematic technique and aesthetic as cool as black magick: the freeze frame. Armed with a massive, in-God's-name sword and more importantly, having refuted the benefit of the doubt, Patrick Wymark is rewarded with something of a "get ready" still shot before he rains down on the evildoers and the hell beast they've conjured up.
Speaking of Folk Horror, FANGORIA is co-presenting the British Invasion Night at Los Angeles' Beyond Fest on Friday, October 18 at the Aero Theatere in Santa Monica. The night will entail a double feature of two brand new, acclaimed British horror films: THE BORDERLANDS and Ben Wheatley's highly anticipated A FIELD IN ENGLAND. Our Rebekah McKendry will also be on hand to moderate a discussion with actor Gordon Kennedy, BORDERLANDS producer Jen Handorf and FrightFest curator Paul McEvoy. Tickets and info here.
