ESOL Endorsement Program
The Graduate School of Education discontinued offering degree, licensing and endorsement programs at the end of the 2013-14 academic year.
The Graduate School of Education ESOL Endorsement Program was designed to assist beginning and experienced teachers working or planning to work with ESOL students. The classes were held around current educators' schedules and led teacher to competence in working with second-language learners. All ESOL courses aligned with TESOL, TSPC and NCATE Standards.
All ESOL coursework was offered online, with the exception of the required field experience.
Candidates enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) or Master of Education (M.Ed.) program could elect an ESOL endorsement as their area of specialization in that program.
Program Completion
- 12 credits (8 credits - Willamette MAT preservice candidates)
- Passing of NES - ESOL exam. Click here for testing information.
- TSPC updates testing requirements periodically. Please check the TSPC website to be sure you are taking the correct exam.
- 90-hour field experience in school with endorsed ESOL professional
- At least three months BEFORE the anticipated start of the endorsement practicum, candidates must download, complete and submit this form. Once the form has been received, a practicum placement will be secured, at which time the candidate will be enrolled in practicum hours (2 credits).
Program Policies
- Candidates must follow all GSE policies and procedures as outlines in the candidates handbook.
- Candidates will be required to participate in advising sessions and other orientation sessions as scheduled by the GSE faculty and staff.
- All candidates must complete appropriate paperwork (admission application, code of conduct, etc.) before enrolling in classes.
- It is the candidate's responsibility to maintain current information in their academic file and to notify the GSE staff of any changes.
- Candidates must notify the Dean's office within the first week of the course if they wish to withdraw. Failure to notify the program in writing that you wish to withdraw will result in a failing grade for the course and no refund on course tuition.
- If, at any time, a candidate wishes to withdraw from this endorsement program, the candidate should contact the Endorsement Coordinator in writing to declare their intention to withdraw from the program.
- Candidates have three years to complete a specialty endorsement program. If, after three years, a candidate requires an extension for program completion, the candidate will need to obtain written permission from the program coordinator. If the request for extension is granted, this must be accompanied by an advising plan for program completion within one year, with the understanding that the candidate will need to fulfill additional program requirements to complete the endorsement. If the 3-year period lapses and the candidate has not completed the endorsement program nor applied for an extension, the candidate will need to re-apply to the program and agree to fulfill any additional program requirements to complete the endorsement.
- Candidates must fulfill all prerequisites before enrolling in any course.
- Candidates must earn a C or better in any course or field experience in order to count that course toward the endorsement.
- Candidate progress, performance, and professional behavior may be evaluated by the program area faculty at any time. Following such evaluations, advisors will notify candidates about the assessment of their progress in the program and inform them of any deficiencies identified and the required action to remain in good standing. Failure to remediate deficiencies may result in dismissal from the program.
- Students must take all required courses to complete the endorsement program.

Supporting NAMI on Campus
SUPPORTING NAMI on CAMPUS, NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK and
at KSU, East Liverpool and Salem Campuses
On October 11th, 2012 (and offered for the entire 2012-2013 school year) Kent State University Psychological services and Active Minds will partner with Screening for Mental Health Inc. (SMH) to promote National Depression Screening Day. This mental health promotion campaign is held in conjunction with NAMI's Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW).
With the support of University Psychological Services and Active Minds, the East Liverpool and Salem Campuses at KSU will provide an ANONYMOUS ON-LINE Mental Health SCREENING for the entire 2012-2013 school year. This tool screens for Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and Bi-Polar Disorder. Once the screen is completed the student will receive results, resources, referrals to counseling for additional evaluation and emergency contact for acute and emergency need. Go To www.col.kent.edu/counseling to take your free, anonymous screen. To make an appointment for counseling services at Salem and East Liverpool campuses, click on the request service tool on the counseling web page. Our campus mental health counselor will contact you via your KSU e-mail to confirm your appointment date and time.
Screenings are not a professional diagnosis, but simply identify the presence or absence of various symptoms. Depressive symptoms lasting for more than two weeks should be evaluated by a medical doctor or mental health professional. For more information about depression and other mental health concerns, view the various links found on the counseling web page (www.col.kent.edu/counseling).
National Alliance for Mental Illness
Mental Illness Awareness Week
October 7-13, 2012
Education Changes Attitudes and Lives
Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) takes place
October 7-13 and is an opportunity to learn more about serious mental illnesses such as major depression, bipolar disorder
and schizophrenia.
Mental illnesses are medical illnesses. One in four adults experiences a mental health problem in any given year. One in
17 lives with serious, chronic illness.
According to the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI),
"Many people in our community are directly affected by mental illness," "The good news is that treatment does work and
recovery is possible."
On average, people living with serious mental illness live 25 years less than the rest of the population. One reason is that
less than one-third of adults and less than one-half of children with a diagnosed illness receive treatment.
"The U.S. Surgeon General has reported that stigma is a major barrier to people seeking help when they need it," NAMI said. "That's why MIAW is so important. We want people to understand mental illness and join a dialogue in our community. The more people know, the better they can help themselves or help their loved ones get the help and support they need."
When mental health care isn't available in a community, the results often are lost jobs and careers, broken families, more homelessness, more welfare and much more expensive costs for hospital emergency rooms, nursing homes, schools, police and even courts, jails and prisons.
Learn more about mental illness support, education and advocacy at www.nami.org.

- Feeling Sad, Fatigued, Irritable
- Desire to Build Self-Confidence, Self-Worth
- School—Work—Family & Life Balance

- Anything standing in the way of Success
Mental Health Promotion & Suicide Prevention Grant Awarded to KSU, Salem and East Liverpool
Ohio Programs for Campus Mental Health and Safety, supported by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration) a division of HHS (Federal Government Department of Health and Human Services), awarded the Salem and East Liverpool Campuses at Kent State University (in collaboration with the tri-county Mental Health and Recovery Boards, Help Hotline and Youngstown State University) one of 10 state-wide grants.
The purpose of the grant is to promote mental health, reduce stigma and educate students, faculty and gatekeepers on recognizing warning signs to prevent suicide. Using the Columbiana County Mental Health and Recovery Board's mantra, Kathrine Vance-Righetti M.Ed. PC/CR, counselor for both campuses, makes it clear to freshman orientation students that "Mental Health is Health", that 25% to 40% of university students will experience depressive symptoms, that mental health counseling support is available on campus and with advocacy and knowledge suicide is preventable.

strawberries, hulled
1/2 cup
skim milk
1/2 cup
plain yogurt
3 tablespoons
white sugar
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
6 cubes
ice, crushed
Yummmm. :) I took the suggestions of other reviewers and used 1 T. of sugar, vanilla yogurt, and 1 t. of vanilla extract. I also threw in a banana. It was out of this world! My mom didn't say much... she was too busy downing the glass. :P But afterwards she commented on how good it was. And it was! Good, that is. :D
My husband nor I cared for this drink. It also left a bad taste in our mouth after drinking it. Definitely not a keeper.

I've never been much of a smoothie drinker or breakfast eater but I just might have to rethink that after having this. For me to eat a few strawberries, a glass of milk and some yogurt is too much effort and not all that appealing, but blending them altogether is a whole other story. I used cherry-vanilla yogurt and just a smidge of Equal, and I think the vanilla really contributed to the flavor too. I appreciated the lightness of it - very refreshing and goes down easy. This was simple, but excellent.
This is good, I recommend using Vanilla yogurt unless you like the tartness of the plain yogurt.
Add more strawberries..it'll be like strawberry yogurt if you only put six... I put ten..
I used vanilla low fat yogurt instead of plain yogurt and it was so good. I also tried it with blackberries instead of strawberries and have peaches lined up next. And key lime yogurt to go with the strawberries... mmmm.
I changed it slightly, though-- I only use one tablespoon of sugar.
Kids loved it! For a second batch, we used a package of sweetened frozen strawberries (thawed) along with a banana. Tasted great also and a little quicker to make.
Great base recipe! I cut the sugar in half, added half a banana, and used vanilla yogurt.

There's a new set of stripes in Denver Zoo's zebra yard today. Thursday nigh, June 13, Denver Zoo welcomed the birth of an endangered, female Grevy's (Greh-veez) zebra. At less than a day old, the unnamed foal, is already comfortably exploring her new home with her mother, Topaz, never too far away. Guests can see mom and daughter with the entire herd in the yard now.
This is the third foal for Topaz and she is still proving to be an excellent mother, carefully shepherding the young foal around their yard. Topaz and the foal's father, Punda, were paired under recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) which ensures healthy populations and genetic diversity among zoo animals. Fortunately, the couple has proved to be an excellent match.

Today I've got two of the spring/summer butter LONDON polishes to share with you. These are my first bLs so I was so excited to try them out. Spoiler alert: they definitely didn't disappoint. The two I've got to share with you today are Disco Biscuit and Bossy Boots.
Disco Biscuit is so awesome. It's a really pretty bright pink jelly with lots and lots of microglitter. I haven't decided if I think it's more blue or more purple yet... maybe it's both! It was definitely a bit sheer, I used four coats for the pictures. If you've got shorter nails you could probably get away with three or even two - I just thought the VNL (which ordinarily doesn't bother me!) was a bit too obvious for the pictures. I wasn't expecting it but this one dried a bit dull - I think it must be all the glitter. I added topcoat for these pictures!
Overall, I'm super impressed by these. They're still a bit pricey but I think they'll be worth a bit of a splurge at some point, hopefully in the near future! I think I need to try some more of their cremes... the formula was seriously flawless.
You can get butterLONDON polishes from Nail Polish Canada. They retail for $17... like I said, a bit pricey but definitely worth it if you're looking to splurge on some really nice polishes! Nail Polish Canada is also running a contest to give one lucky winner the entire spring/summer collection! You can enter by clicking here. I love Nail Polish Canada, I've always had really good experiences with them (I bought my mom's birthday present from them and had it shipped to her!) and I love how often they run awesome contests! They also offer free shipping over $29... I think most of us can attest to how ridiculous some of the shipping minimums are to get free shipping so I appreciate that too.
So, what do you guys think? Do you own any butterLONDON polishes? What are your favourites? :)
The products in this post were provided to me for review. For more information, see my disclosure tab above.

Congressman Joe Wilson, R-S.C., will hold a town hall meeting in Aiken today, looking to address the recent concerns of furloughs due to sequestration at the Savannah River Site.
Wilson will be at the USC Aiken Convocation Center on Robert M. Bell Parkway answering questions and making remarks from 10 to 11 a.m.
"From day one, I have been opposed to sequestration because I knew the disastrous effects it would have on our economy and our national security," Wilson said Thursday. "The recent budget shortfalls that are forcing furloughs at the Savannah River Site are a direct result of inaction by the president and his Office of Management and Budget. For well over a month, I have been proactive on behalf of my constituents to encourage the quick consideration of the reprogramming request. Unfortunately, due to inaction, thousands of jobs are at risk of furlough at the Savannah River Site and vital national security missions have been placed on the backburner."
The town hall comes on the back of Wilson, along with Congressmen Tom Rice and Jeff Duncan, joining in the sending of a letter to the Office of Management and Budget again asking that it expedite the request for funds.
"On April 1, 2013, more than 2,500 dedicated workers began working 32-hour weeks as a result of inaction regarding this reprogramming request," the letter reads.
The exact amount of funds being reprogrammed is kept secret; although, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said earlier this year that the amount was $80 million. Wilson's office has repeatedly asked for the amount, but has not had his requests fulfilled.
"As we inch closer to its full implementation, it is my responsibility as a member of Congress to do my best to advocate for those who may be affected," Wilson said. "As a result, I have invited constituents to attend a town hall meeting where we will provide a brief overview of current efforts being taken to combat the furloughs and provide information to the SRS community about what can be done to protect the Site's vital mission."
• Mike Gellatly covers the Savannah River Site and Courts for the Aiken Standard. The oversized Scot has 13 years of experience in Aiken County, first coming to the United States for a summer job at Camp Gravatt while attending the University of Stirling in his homeland. He now has two (American) children from a marriage that started at that Episcopal church camp.

It will always be Palmetto House to those who recall its history, established as it was after Hurricane Hugo ravaged the Lowcountry.
But the shelter for homeless women and children changed names last week, along with its parent organization, Crisis Ministries.
Now they are One80 Place, a name the group says is meant to better reflect what it does help people turn their lives around.
Its been a long time since either the Charleston location or the Summerville location were simple shelters and soup kitchens, said Stacey Denaux, CEO of One80 Place.
The Summerville location, a small building on Elks Lodge Lane, is open only to women and children.
When Crisis Ministries initially took ownership of the struggling Palmetto House in 2012, it offered its counseling services to women in Summerville.
Last spring, though, the organization decided to transport the women to Charleston every day so they could more easily access all the services available at the main location.
Residents get counseling and assistance to deal with medical issues, find jobs, secure transportation and finally establish housing.
Transportation is often the trickiest part of the puzzle, Denaux said. Its difficult for people to find jobs and affordable housing near to each other; service-economy jobs rarely pay enough so people can afford close-in housing, making reliable transportation crucial.
One80 Place doesnt have a long-term tracking system in place for its former residents; its not really feasible. What Denaux can say is that about 10 percent of its former residents show up again at another homeless shelter in the Lowcountry.
The average stay is between 100 and 120 days; shed like to shorten that somewhat, even by five days, so more people could go through the system.
There are no plans at the moment for big changes at the Summerville location, although One80 Place is offering its expertise in an effort to determine how much of a homelessness problem exists here.
Denaux said the organization participated in a meeting called by Mayor Bill Collins, and the group will spend the next several months attempting to quantify the need.
But she made it clear to the mayor that One80 Place isnt looking to expand its Summerville location or begin offering services to men at this time.
The old version of Palmetto House proved unsustainable, she said. Even now, it wouldnt be able to sustain itself without funds from the larger organization.
It costs about $450,000 to operate the Summerville location, Denaux said thats keeping the lights on and people fed, but that figure doesnt cover program costs for counseling, education, legal services and more.
The Summerville location gets a $200,000 federal grant and about $100,000 in earmarked donations from the community, but the remainder is made up from the overall One80 Place budget, she said.
If the town doesnt have the resources to operate a shelter for men, then the community would need to step in, she said, and history suggests such a shelter wouldnt be sustainable.
However, she noted, its not clear that another shelter is whats needed.
We havent really defined the problem, she said.
Finding people who are homeless, and talking to them about what they need, are the first steps, she said.

Halston Taylor's tenure at MIT began in 1982, as an assistant with the men's track and field squad. Taylor would take over as the head coach of the men in 1990 and has served as Director of MIT's Track and Field programs for the past five seasons. He has solidified MIT's position as one of the most dominant track and field programs in the region, as he totaled his 12th NEWMAC Coach of the Year citation this past season. Both teams earned New England Division III titles in recent years, as the women's last regional crown came at the 2011 outdoor championship and the men won this year's outdoor meet. His teams have combined to win 18 NEWMAC Championships, including 13 of the league's 14 men's crowns.
The indoor and outdoor teams regularly qualify individuals for the NCAA Championships, and under Taylor's guidance, MIT has elicited 188 All-Americans and 13 national champions, including a pair in 2010. Both teams had tremendous showings at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships, as the women finished third and the men placed fourth in the nation. Taylor has collected accolades from the USTFCCCA in each of the past four years, having been named the New England Women's Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2011 while receiving the same honor on the men's side in 2010 and 2012.
Before arriving at MIT, Taylor coached the women's track club at South Carolina and was the boy's track coach at both Granby and Mohawk Regional high schools in Massachusetts.
A native of Columbia, S.C., Taylor is a graduate of the University of South Carolina where he was a four-year letter winner and a 4:05-miler. After receiving his undergraduate degree in Physical Education, Taylor entered UMass-Amherst to study and receive his Masters in Exercise Science.

Things I would have changed:no complaints.
What others should know:the only pellet i have tried that rivals these are eunjin extra heavy's but for the cost i'd only use them to hunt, never plink. for small to medium game, these are excellent.

Nouveau DRM modules, the Nouveau kernel tree
The kernel modules required by Nouveau (
ttm.ko and
nouveau.ko) are built from a Linux kernel tree. You have several options on how to download the source code (subsections of Section 1) and how to compile it (subsections of Section 2). See also KernelModeSetting for important KMS notes. Please, read carefully.
The Nouveau kernel git repository is called
nouveau/linux-2.6 and contains one recommended branch:
master. The repository name contains "2.6" because we never bothered to rename it to "3": that would either break a lot of people's git configs or we would have two names for the same repository, for no benefit. It does contain the Linux 3.x versions.
You may not be able to compile the DRM modules against your current kernel, if it is too old (might need an -rc kernel or even Linus' git kernel). The possible errors include build failure and kernel modules that cannot be loaded. It is recommended to build your whole kernel from this branch (Section 2.1).
Since the DRM code is part of the kernel since 2.6.33, you can also use Linus' git kernel for Nouveau. However, the code in Linus' kernel will always be older than Nouveau's own git, and because there are no official Nouveau releases, you may encounter compatibility issues with user space parts (libdrm, DDX, Mesa).
Downloading the source
The are different options to get the latest nouveau code:
- cloning the Nouveau kernel repository without history
- Good option for regular updates, fine for most users. This will download less data than the next option, but freedesktop.org can be a little slow. You get the full Linux kernel sources including the DRM modules.
- adding the Nouveau kernel repository as a new remote
- The recommended option, especially for development. If you don't have any git kernel tree yet, clone Linus' tree from kernel.org first. This is faster than cloning the Nouveau kernel tree from freedesktop.org. You get the full Linux kernel sources including the DRM modules. Not only does this give you the proper kernel history, it will also give you the official kernel release tags, which makes version information a lot more readable.
- updating an existing repository from git
- Only if you already have the Nouveau kernel repository.
- downloading a daily snapshot of only the directories needed for DRM and Nouveau kernel modules (not full kernel sources)
- More manual work, but the download size is very small. No automatic version information nor history included. Out-of-tree build only (Section 2.2). Cannot make Nouveau built-in into the kernel (built-in not recommended anyway). NOTE: If you clone or add a new remote, you only need to do that once. Afterwards always use the update procedure. Cloning means a full copy of the remote repository including all branches.
Adding the Nouveau kernel repository as a new remote
If you don't have any git kernel tree yet, start cloning Linus' one with
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
This will contain the full Linux development history from 2.6.12 onwards. You need roughly 2 GB of disk space for the repository including the compiled kernel.
Chdir into your Linux kernel git repository.
To add Nouveau, do
git remote add nouveau git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6
and check with
git config -l, you should have
To actually download the Nouveau repository, do
git remote update or
git fetch nouveau or pass
-f to the adding command in the first place. For more information, see
git help remote.
Now you have a local git repository, where the remote
origin is Linus' kernel tree and
nouveau is the nouveau/linux-2.6 kernel tree. The only thing left is to switch to the Nouveau branch (or actually create a local version of it):
git checkout -b nouveau-master nouveau/master
Updating the Nouveau kernel git repository
git remote update
fetches all remote repositories and branches. Because
nouveau/master is a rebased branch,
git pull and
git rebase do not work. Your local branch needs to be reset to the new
nouveau/master on each update. This will lose all local changes you may have made to your local branch (checkout). Assuming your nouveau/linux-2.6 tree is called
git reset --hard nouveau/master
to move your current local branch to the new head of
Downloading a snapshot
The daily snapshots: http://people.freedesktop.org/~pq/nouveau-drm/ (the timestamp is in PDT) are named by the branch.
The archives are overwritten daily, so do not delete the file you downloaded. The command
zcat master.tar.gz | git get-tar-commit-id will show the revision id of the package. The developers need to know the id, if you want to report bugs. Just download, unpack, and move on to the compiling instructions. Btw. here is the Makefile.
Cloning the Nouveau kernel repository without history
git clone --depth 1 git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6
Does not download any history, otherwise see above. You are still able to get updates using the normal git commands. Here nouveau/linux-2.6 kernel tree is the remote called
origin. Leaving out the history will save something in the order of 50-70% in the initial download size (not disk space consumption).
Do not use this method if you want to bisect a regression!
Compiling the modules
There are two options. Whichever you choose remember to check you have these options enabled:
- "Framebuffer Console support" (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE)
- "Support for binding and unbinding console drivers" (CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING)
building a complete kernel from Nouveau sources (recommended)
The Nouveau kernel tree is a full kernel source, following Linus' tree. Linus' tree is occasionally merged into the Nouveau tree to get updates from upstream. Just build and use this kernel as usual. This option is not considered here because there is nothing special about it. You can find Nouveau under the staging drivers.
out-of-tree build (alternative)
You compile the modules without touching your current kernel, assuming the kernel is compatible.
The first thing to check is that your kernel version should be at least the version that is currently merged into the Nouveau kernel tree. You can check the required (recommended) kernel version from the Nouveau kernel tree upstream Makefile, the variables
SUBLEVEL and
EXTRAVERSION at the top of the file.
The second is that the configuration of your currently running kernel (or the target kernel) is compatible. The usual requirements are listed in file DEPENDS. There are other requirements, too, but it is hard to miss them. You have to check the requirements yourself, or you may get mysterious compile errors, or the modules may simply fail to load.
NOTE: DEPENDS file (above) instructs you to enable an fb driver to get the required
FB_CFB_* kernel options enabled. Do not choose
vga16fb, it will load automatically and make Nouveau misbehave. The point is to choose an fb driver, that you do not have the hardware for. You do not really want the fb driver but the modules from
FB_CFB_* options. Also, not all fb drivers enable all the required
FB_CFB_* options, so it is best to stick to the suggested fb driver in DEPENDS.
The out-of-tree build is done using this Makefile, download it. It is recommended to save it under a new directory
nouveau in your checkout of the Nouveau kernel tree. The following assumes you did exactly that.
The build itself:
cd nouveau
make install
By default it will build the modules for your currently running kernel. If you want to build for another kernel, use
make LINUXDIR=/path/to/system/kernel/source
make LINUXDIR=/path/to/system/kernel/source install
The Makefile assumes that the Nouveau kernel tree is found in the parent directory of the current working directory of
make. If that is not the case, you can specify the Nouveau kernel tree location with
make NOUVEAUROOTDIR=/path/to/nouveau/linux-2.6
make NOUVEAUROOTDIR=/path/to/nouveau/linux-2.6 install
You can also specify both
LINUXDIR and
NOUVEAUROOTDIR, if needed.
3D-accel Firmware
For the
nouveau/linux-2.6 DRM modules, the goal is to never need external firmware. However, during development it may be required. The card families:
- NV04 - NV30: No firmware used.
- NV40 - NV50: No firmware needed. The Nouveau driver generates the ctxprogs and related state internally (commits 48c6dfb8 and 266229a5).
- NVC0: Free firmware provided by the driver, presumably working.
- NVD0: Free firmware provided by the driver but imperfect (commit 902530693ef38f3bb007efae594e54443d84fa56)
- NVE0: Free firmware provided by the driver, presumably working (commit eca15296a9c2a5d5d7d8281a710ba4bd0c2e7cd3) The proprietary firmware is not readily available, you need to extract it yourself (instructions).
NOTE: Whenever firmware is used, it needs to be available when the Nouveau DRM initializes (loads). The easiest way to avoid problems with firmware is to build Nouveau as a module, and not to put it into initramfs. If you put
nouveau.ko into initramfs, put the firmware there, too. If you build Nouveau into the kernel (and not as a module), you need to make the firmware available before the root file system is mounted. There are several ways of doing so:
- if your whole kernel is built from
nouveau/linux-2.6, you can build the firmware into the kernel image by setting
if not, you can use
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="nouveau/file1 nouveau/file2", where

nouveau.koand look in the kernel log for lines
nouveau 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting nouveau/nvaa.ctxprog nouveau 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting nouveau/nvaa.ctxvals

Video Firmwares
For now, there is no opensource firmware available, you need to use the proprietary one. You can find instructions for obtaining it at VideoAcceleration.
Installation notes
The out-of-tree build's
make install step will install the modules into
/lib/modules/<version>/extra. If your kernel already had
ttm.ko or
nouveau.ko in some other directory, they will conflict and should be removed. When the installation is done properly, all you need to do to load the modules is
modprobe nouveau. Depending on your system, the modules may even be automatically loaded on boot, but starting X will load them, too. If
nvidia.ko loads automatically on boot, you may want to remove it.

Is Obamacare A Job Killer? New Estimates Suggest It Might Be
By John Ydstie
Originally published on Tue February 4, 2014 7:00 pm
A new front has opened in the political battle over the Affordable Care Act, with Tuesday's release of the Congressional Budget Office's annual budget and economic outlook. The economists updated an earlier estimate about how many workers would leave the workforce because they no longer needed a job to have health care coverage — revising upward from 800,000 people to over 2 million people. Republicans pounced on the higher number, and President Obama now finds himself playing defense.

The Lowcountry has gotten its first frost advisories of the season, and just in time Jordan Danielle is again collecting socks to keep childrens feet warm all winter.
Three years ago, Jordan started her mission of collecting socks. With a lot of logistical help from her mom, Shelley Gordon, Jordans Warm Feet Happy Hearts organization has collected more than 13,600 pairs of socks in that time, including 3,400 pairs so far this year.
The Oakbrook Middle School sixth-grader said she does it because she likes helping other kids.
The reaction she gets from most of her fellow students is fairly muted she gets the occasional, Oh, youre the sock girl but her efforts have inspired a few other students to think about creating their own groups to collect other necessities.
Many of the socks collected so far this year have come from Dorchester District 2, because several schools are serving as collection sites and some schools had sock drives as part of a Sock it to Drugs theme during Red Ribbon Week.
But nearly all of the pairs collected thus far have already been distributed 2,600 pairs in Hampton Park on Thanksgiving Day by the Without Walls ministry and 300 pairs dedicated to be sent overseas.
That means Jordan has a lot of socks to collect so shell have enough to distribute Christmas Day at The Citadels Johnson Hagood Stadium.
Gordon said they try to make sure each person gets at least six pairs of socks. As she travels from school to school picking up the donations, she talks to other students and tells them her daughters story. She tells the youngsters that their ideas are worth hearing.
(Jordan) had this idea when she was 10, and we have put socks on more than 1,500 kids feet, she said.
The next step, Gordon said, will be to incorporate the group so it can truly grow, but she needs help with the legalities.
Anyone wishing to donate socks, sized infant to adult, can drop off new pairs or packages at any Summerville town fire station, at most District 2 elementary schools, or at the Chick-Fil-A on Dorchester Road, which will also have a craft night on Dec. 17 promoting sock donations.

AC/DC finally gives iTunes the green light, complete collection now available to buy
After The Beatles music finally made its way onto iTunes, AC/DC were one of the only huge bands that did not have a presence with the iTunes Store. Thankfully that has now changed and you can finally get all of their brilliant albums directly from iTunes.
All of the albums have been specifically remastered for iTunes and are available at different prices depending on how popular they were. You can also buy single tracks if you prefer to do it that way. AC/DC also have two huge compilations, "The Complete Collection" which includes every AC/DC studio album to date as well as well as live albums and compilations, this costs $149.99. The other box set is called "The Compilation" and just includes all of the studio albums, you can pick this one up for $99.99
If you're into rock 'n' roll, you really need to be adding some AC/DC to your iTunes collection, there are so many classic tunes like Highway to Hell, Thunderstruck, Whole Lotta Rosie and Back in Black to name just a few!

AC/DC finally gives iTunes the green light, complete collection now available to buy
I was extremely excited to see this. I have 12 of their albums, and they were one of the last artists yet to be matched by iTunes Match. But low and behold NONE of their albums matched. All that was matched was back in black, but those were matched back when iTunes Match first released last year, even though it wasn't available on iTunes.
I've tried updating iTunes Match, turning it off and on again, to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: I have got it working, apparently once iTunes uploads a song, it will no longer try to match that song. So to force it to match them i had to delete the songs and tell it to also delete from iCloud. then re-add them to iTunes, update iTunes Match, at this point it will say that the songs have been removed from the cloud. then highlight those songs right click and "add to icloud" viola all matched.
Very inconvenient but at least now its working. Apple should really add some way to re-match or re-try matching a song.

During the reports from the department heads portion of the board's May 7 meeting, County Administrator Mike Underwood said, because of the increased prices that have been discussed in the media for the pickup of bodies following a coroner's call, he feels the best option is to put the services out for bid. That bid will also include cooler services for storage.
County Attorney Frank Childs agreed.
"After all the publicity of doubling the fees for Jones County, I had two calls from funeral homes in the area wanting to provide the service for less. I think it's in the county's best interest to go through the bid process and see what happens," Childs said.
The attorney said he has several legal concerns to look into connected to the issue, and he pointed out that the only time the county is involved in picking up a body is in instances when it has to be taken to the crime lab.
Board members voted unanimously to start the process of putting the service out to bid.

Established in 2005, The NEOMFA is unlike any other program in the country. A consortium of four universities -- Kent State University, Cleveland State University, The University of Akron, and Youngstown State University-- the NEOMFA's unique collaborative design allows students to have access to an award-winning faculty while concentrating on the writing of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction or playwriting at one among just a few programs in the country offering this concentration in writing for the theater.
The number and variety of our faculty guarantees consistent individual attention to student work during the period of this 48 credit hour terminal degree. The range of concentrations gives students the opportunity to take classes with other student writers from different backgrounds and in different genres. An annual series of readings and visiting writers in all genres-- include Junot Diaz, Heather Cristle, Dave Eggers, Miranda July, Sarah Vowel, and Kate Greenstreet-- supports our regular curricular offerings which include workshops in the four genres, craft & theory classes, cross-genre classes, relevant literature classes, an internship seminar, and electives. Selected students attend special summer programs, such as the Juniper Seminars in Massachusetts and the Imagination Conference in Cleveland; many students attend the annual AWP conference representing the NEOMFA, or journals and presses associated with the program.
Full and partial funding opportunities are available to teach composition and creative writing, to work with our several literary journals or with the Wick Poetry Center, the CSU Poetry Center, The University of Akron Press, or the Youngstown Poetry Center. Required career-preparing internships offer students excellent work experiences. Students in the NEOMFA can take advantage of large, urban centers, as well as small town and rural environments. Exciting events and cross-campus gatherings for students and faculty promote a sense of community across distances. All writing workshops, craft and theory classes, and internship seminars are limited to students enrolled in the NEOMFA program.
IMPORTANT: All applications must be made BOTH to the NEOMFA consortium as well as to KENT STATE UNIVERSITY (as the "gateway" university).
JANUARY 15 is the DEADLINE for receipt of all application materials to KENT STATE UNIVERSITY
FEBRUARY 1 is the DEADLINE for application to the NEOMFA
For more information on application information and deadlines, portfolio guidelines, program requirements, student handbook, and NEO MFA faculty go the the NEOMFA website.
