Saw China and Saudi my 2nd Day, Fri.Late August
starshipdtl posted a topic in 2010, Shanghai, China - Expo 2010Re: August 2010 Architectural Record, & Expo 2010 Review August 8, 2010 Your August issue will be remembered just like the structures and events covered. Some of the most extravagant projects of the decade placed all in one issue. I just returned from Expo 2010 and would like to add detail for your readers. Some of the Corporate Exhibits on the Puxi side of the river are better than the National Exhibits that are drawing large lines. These Corporate Exhibits are gathering good lines, but mostly in the morning. In the afternoon or evening, you can get in most of the Corporate Exhibits with a half hour or less wait except for Coca Cola. Coke has a new product which forms ice in the container when turned upside down before you open. Coke is one of the few places except for restaurants that you can actually get a cold drink. Due to the heat and attendance, drinks are consumed before they can even be chilled. Most pavilion exhibits have ignored the prime rule of exhibit design – entertain or educate while they wait with the pre-show. This may be why the Coca Cola exhibit is popular as they have a very entertaining and musical pre-show while you wait, even if it is only music and lights. The Corporate exhibits have that little extra that sets them apart from National exhibits. Oil has the best 4-D movie with all the spray, gusts of air, and movement in your seat to excite any experienced individual. It was fun to see the reactions of people who never experienced a show like this before. Aviation has 3-D ride which twists and turns and probably has not been experienced since New York 1964. SAIG-GM has a movie automated traffic where the screen withdraws to reveal a full surround audience with future Vehicles and a dance show. Private Industries has a really entertaining show of film, moving balls, and ballerina. While the photos for your article are excellent, the views can not be duplicated now that the Expo is open and all of the shade devices and queue lines have been installed. Most exhibit designs never take into account the need to shelter and make order for those waiting in line. Korea, Shanghai Corporate, Singapore, and China have entertainment while you wait in a courtyard under the building. The China Provincial and Theme Pavilion both have queuing lines on the shaded side of the building. Due to the anticipated attendance, most of the pavilions are large hallways of movies or exhibits thru which the visitor passes. This has worked well to keep visitors and lines moving. The long line at Italy was supposed to take 2 hours, but the line kept moving and only took ½ hour. The Italian exhibit was full of delightful exhibits of art and crafts, from large architectural models to a Porsche and more everyday items. You actually passed thru a large scale structural model of the Florence Cathedral Dome, riding an escalator to the second floor. The German Pavilion is an enclosed walkway of exhibits which lead up to the main show, a circular area of several levels with an illuminated moving pendulum. This building is sheathed in a transparent mesh to create a unique form. The Netherlands took this exhibit hallway form and made it an open street in the air with exhibit structures modeled after famous Dutch buildings. This pavilion draws from the success of their Expo 2000 open air pavilion. The United Arab Emigrates modern pavilion with a metal roof in the shape of sand dunes is one of the better national movies and exhibits. USA has a pre-show exhibit and short movies, which kept the wait line moving. Some exhibits were roofed open air pavilions such as Indonesia. Some exhibits such as New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore included open air roof gardens relating to the Expo Better Cities Theme. Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, Morocco, India, and Thailand had traditional structures mixed with modern exhibits. Other smaller exhibits are large open areas with a movie, sitting area, and exhibits around the sides. Smaller or poorer countries have exhibits in one large building such as Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Pacific, Europe, and Chinese Provinces. Africa is known as the largest shopping mall in Shanghai. The Chinese Provinces are very good and some out shine other foreign exhibits. Saudi Arabia spent more money than any other country and has the most unique popular exhibit with a full surround movie thru which you pass on a moving sidewalk in a saucer shaped modern pavilion. This exhibit made very little use of internal queue line for entertainment or education. I expect that a lot of the live entertainment for many pavilions was limited due to the extreme heat or the need to not draw anymore crowds than were already present. The large impersonal Theme Exhibits were well done, but could not compete with visits to foreign countries, each with their own individual personality. The Expo Authorities, Chinese Military, and Police have done an excellent job adjusting to the crowds and organizing queuing areas for the pavilions with shade and water spray. They have added air cooling units and blocks of ice to assist with evaporative cooling. The Saudi line is positioned under the elevated Pedestrian Walk for shade. This line actually starts near the China pavilion with gaps to allow people to cross thru the line. A soldier stands in front of each line and when it is time to move the line up, the soldiers march slowly, allowing the waiting people to slowly move up behind them. The urban design of the Expo was planned with the pavilions spread far apart to help disperse up to 500,000 visitors per day. The site is split by the Expo Axis, a large three story shaded circulation space with restaurants and shops. This Axis stretches from the main entrance gate to the river fountain area. The major pavilions China, Theme, and Expo Culture are adjacent to this axis. An elevated walk with a tour bus route extends from this Axis to both ends of the site. Major pavilions and entrance gates are placed at each end of the Elevated Walk. The underside of the Elevated Walk serves as a major shade area for lines and seating. Pavilions are positioned in blocks separated by major circulation roads with the interior of the blocks serving as a plaza with pavilion entrances. The other side of the river has a similar urban design with a main entrance and elevated walk that branches out towards each end of the site and further entrance gates. There is a new subway line that serves only the Expo site and a remote entrance gate. Both sides of the river can be accessed by subway, boat, and bus. There are also several remote gates serviced by river ferry. The major site transportation is by bus. There is also a small electric open air vehicle that transports people for a fee. Major parks are aligned along both sides of the river. China with five times the population of the United States stands to break most records for World's Fairs and Expositions in terms of land mass, attendance, number of countries, number of 3D movies, you name it. For further info you can refer to: www.expo.cn and www.expomuseum.com.
Just returned from Shanghai and Expo 2010
starshipdtl replied to expoboy's topic in 2010, Shanghai, China - Expo 2010I agree Bill, but you probably know some media people and could get a press pass thru them. Then you would not have to wait in line. Of course you may be montored by the government and maybe even given a free tour guide observer to moniter your activities. Also no one has mentioned yet that if you pay thru the nose for a one day tour, you get a pass to the China Pavilion guarenteed. I am disapointed as I tried to explain to the Chinese organizers that they should use an airline computer organized ticketing program to guarentee that people could see important pavilions without taking time away from visits to other pavilions. A part of that reservation system would be to limit multiple visits to popular pavilions, by the same person.

This lesson will guide you through the process of creating a Multimedia Item in the Illuminate Itembank. This means you can create questions that are based on short videos that you require students to watch. These videos can be housed on your computer or taken from Vimeo or You Tube.
Where to Start
1. Click on Assessments.
2. Under Itembank, select Visit Itembank.
Create a New Item
1. Click Create.
2. Next click New Item.
3. Select Next.
Note: You may also start from the Items tab, then click Create Item.
1. Item Type- Select the item type you are creating, in this case you can use Multiple Choice to create a multimedia item.
2. Click Teacher Instructions to type Teacher Instructions (e.g., Read the question aloud to your students) if applicable.
Note: Teacher Instructions are only viewable on the Itembank Teacher Booklet.
3. Stem- This is where the video will show up, and where you will type in your question.
4. Click on the Multimedia Icon.
Once you click on the multimedia icon, you will get the 'Insert a video' pop up:
5. Embeddable Video URL- Allows you to insert Vimeo or You Tube videos by pasting the URL here. (See Vimeo specific steps below.) The URL must include the https:// i.e. https://player.vimeo.com/video/# instead of just "//player.vimeo.com/video/#
6. Upload a Video- Allows you to upload a file (Video OR Audio) that is saved on your computer. Video must be in mp4 format with H.264 encoding only and max 20 MB and Audio must be in mp3 format.
7. Title- Give the video/audio a title.
8. Select Viewer Size- If you would like to customize the size of the video box on the screen, you may do so here.
9. Click Insert Video/Audio.
If uploading a Vimeo video:
1. When looking at the Vimeo video, click on the "Share" icon (paper airplane) in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Under the "Embed" option, there will be a URL within quotation marks for embedding the video. The URL will always be in the format of "https://player.vimeo.com/video/#" where "#" represents the Vimeo video ID number. For example, in this screenshot, the # is 107011435. Therefore, the embedding URL is https://player.vimeo.com/video/107011435.
3. The embed URL cannot be copied separately from the rest of the embed text, so it must be typed by hand. Alternatively, you can just have https://player.vimeo.com/video/# ready to go and insert the number which can be found in any URL associated with the video.
Paste the URL into the Video URL box as seen above, test for quality, and you are ready to go!
The yellow box that appears will be where your video will go, type your question above or underneath the video box.
Click Save & Continue.
1. Enter the answer choices in the space provided. Answer choices are options a student may pick from in a closed-response (e.g., multiple choice) assessment; these include the correct answer and the distractors.
2. Mark the correct answer by clicking on the black checkmark to turn it green on the appropriate answer choice.
3. You may add an additional answer choice by clicking Add Choice.
Note: If creating an assessment for scanning through Grade Cam (using the printed answer sheets), you can only have up to 9 answer choices. In other words, if you create an item with 10 answer choices, only 9 bubbles will be printed on the answer sheet, therefore, the item will be invalid. However, if administering the test online, over 9 answer choices will work since the item and answer choices display online.
4. Click the red minus (-) icon next to an answer choice that you would like to remove. Use the arrow keys to move the answer choice up or down.
5. You may enter a rationale (see below) for each distractor to explain why a student may have chosen a particular answer option. For example, if a student selects "B. 10" for the question "What is 8 + 12?" he might have forgotten to carry the "1". Entering a rationale could help other teachers who have access to the item in reteaching concepts missed. Click the Up Arrow next to Rationale to enter the rationale.
6. Click Save once you have finished, then go to the Details tab.
1. Choose the bank where the item will belong. The Public item bank is an Illuminate Education community-driven bank where items contained in that bank is accessible to any user. If you only want your item available to you, choose -None-. Districts may create their own banks to add to this list. Please contact customer service for assistance.
2. Select the Language used in the item (i.e., English or Spanish). The red asterisk (*) next to Language indicates this field is required. Mark No or Yes to Exclude Stem from displaying to students. For example, an item may contain a passage that should be read aloud by the test proctor, but should not be included in the test booklet for students to view. The red asterisk (*) next to Exclude Stem indicates this field is required.
3. If the item requires a specific layout format that should not be changed, pick the Layout Format for the item: 2 Column, 2 Column Table, Full Page, Distractors Side By Side, Distractors Horizontal 2 by 2, Distractors Vertical 2 by 2.
4. Insert a Page Break before or after the question if needed.
5. Reference Material- If a question needs something like a Periodic Table, Formula Sheet, etc. you can add this as an image file and students will be able to access it when answering the question.
6. Click Save, then go to the Standards tab.
1. Select the standards set, subject and the grade level for the standard(s) to which you will be tying to your item. As you select the drop-down menus the standards will be automatically loaded on the page. To find a specific standard by key word or standard code, use the search box then click Search.
2. You can click the arrow symbol to expand the strand or sub-strand and see the standards housed within.
3. Select the standard(s) by clicking on the bolded standard title. Once linked, you will see a chain link show next to the linked standard(s).
4. The standard(s) selected will appear in the Linked Standards area. To remove a standard, click the 'X' next to it. You can continue to search and select more standards as needed.
If your item should refer to a passage, you can search for existing passages in this step. If you would like to add a passage to the Itembank, see the "Create a Passage" lesson.
1. Select the Bank to which the the passage belongs.
2. Enter the title or key words for a specific search, then click Search.
Link Passage
Once you click Search from the Search for a Passage step, the results will be returned on your screen.
1. Choose the correct passage in the search results by clicking on the title.
2. A preview of the passage will appear to the right.
3. Click Link Passage to associate the passage to your item. Once you link the passage, the title of the passage will appear in the Linked Passage area at the top of the page.
You may preview your item by going to the Step 5 View tab. The item preview will show the item step, distractor, correct answer (answer option letter is in green), aligned standard code, and other item information.
Note: The preview does not display in the item layout that you may have chosen in the Details step.
Publish is the final step of the item creation process. Prior to publishing, if you would like to make changes to your item, go to the appropriate tab to make your edits. When you are sure that your item is in final form and can be made available to add to assessments, click Publish.
Note: Once an item is published, it will be locked from further editing. To edit the item after it has been published, a new revision must be created.
Also, once an Item is published, you can add it directly to an existing assessment by clicking on the 'Add To' button. This will populate a list of assessments you can add this item to with one click.
The Revisions tab lists all versions of the item (including the master item), that has been revised once published. Once an item is published and added to an assessment, any further revisions of that item will not be updated in the assessment unless a user clicks on 'Update Assessments using old Item Revisions'.
NOTE: If you decide to to this (For example, you realize that the answer choice was actually supposed to be A, not C) it WILL change all student scores associated with that assessment.When adding an item with several revisions to an assessment, the most recent revision will be used. To view an item revision, click on the number.
All of your items, published or not, will be housed in the 'Items' section of the Itembank. See the "Create an Itembank Assessment" lesson to build a test with items. You may also want to see the "Create/Select Quality Assessment" lesson for important assessment design considerations.

College Essay Day
The below post was written by Ms. Emily Minty from the BHS Guidance Department
On September 25, 2015, all seniors attended a presentation by a panel of college admission representatives on the topic of the college essay. This event is coordinated and sponsored by the National Honor Society and the National Honor Society Advisors, Abby Abbot and Alex Allaire.
Merrimack College James Cristiano email@example.com
Salem State Jacklyn Jackie Haas email@example.com
Suffolk University Sara Morales email@example.com
UNH Kristin Butterfield email@example.com
Harvard Meg Brooks-Swift email@example.com
Northeastern University Alice Smith email@example.com Lowell Doug Seed email@example.com
Why an essay?
Only piece that comes directly from you, where you get to speak directly.
Convey who you are as a person and what you would bring to campus community.
Can give admissions rep material to advocate for you in committee.
Puts everything else into context.
- Draft, proofread, revise.
- Have one to two people look it over for you.
- Common app topics on how you overcame a problem could be way to share how you've changed and overcome.
- Feel connected to what you're writing.
- Write about something that isn't otherwise obvious in your application.
- Be authentic.
- Focus in on one small moment instead of the big picture.
- Pay attention to the question that you're answering.
- Whatever you're writing about, focus on how it impacted you.
- You don't need the "perfect" topic. A mundane topic can still be a great essay.
- Let someone else write it for you or lose your voice in the process.
- Write all about someone else or sports event and not enough about you.
- Accidentally mention the wrong college name.
- Write outside your comfort zone or overdo it.
- Cliche topics: athletic injuries, don't google "best college essays", personal tragedies--make sure to focus on how these things affected you and how you've overcome.
- UMass Lowell-- Essay is only a focus if they're on the fence based on GPA and test scores. Rec. letter from one teacher (about who you are as a student). 1-4 total.
- Salem-- Admission decision is purely based on grades and test scores. Do not require essay or recommendation letters. Recommend if need to share special circumstances. DO require it for Summer Bridge Academy, Honors program (emphasize time management skills)
- Harvard-- Essay is the chance to separate yourself. Encouraged to take advantage of optional supplemental essay too. Essay gets read by many people and goes to committees and is often read multiple times by same person. Also require SAT Subject Tests. Alumni interview is arranged after you apply.
- UNH-- Doesn't offer interviews, but does offer one-on-one appointments with admission counselors. Rec. letter from guidance counselor only.
- Merrimack--Since SATs are not required, essay is especially important. Extracurricular involvement is extremely important.
- Northeastern-- Holistic review of application, including essay. Looks at Extracurricular activities very closely. Require only one recommendation. Only send others if new information.
- Suffolk--Look at all pieces to see how student fits into community. Test scores will never be the reason that someone does or doesn't get in, although there are certain majors that you need a minimum score for.
- Transcript is always the most important part of the application; to see if student is prepared to be successful in college.
- With extra-curricular activities, important that it's clear that you had a real passion for things as opposed to just adding as many as you can. Does not only include school-affiliated activities.
- Recommendations from outside people can be interesting.
- Since requirements vary, make sure that you check with each college about their preferences and requirements.

One of our first activities will be a career breakfast on December 10th, which will allow juniors and seniors to meet in small groups with professionals in different occupations. The goal of this event is to give students an opportunity to learn more about the realities of jobs they are interested in, and to find out about the training required for those occupations. We are reaching out for community help with this project. We would love to have parents and/or community members serve as speakers for this event, and spend some time talking to students about what you do. If you are interested in participating, please let us know by completing this form:

About Us
Make the Smart Choice.
Hire a professional cleaning service.
What Sets ECS Apart From Others:
Over the years we have compiled the most common reasons why our customers choose to seek out a different service from their individual maid.
- The maid was great but the quality has decreased. She is very sweet and I feel bad having to point things out again and again, but I need my home to be cleaned the way I want it.
- The maid has become unreliable and it's inconvenient having to re-adjust my schedule or my family's schedule on short notice and on a regular basis.
- The maid has started to clean more homes in the area and I'm happy for her, but now I have lost the extra touch and focus on details I used to enjoy.
- The maid has started bringing help, but the help isn't providing the same quality.
- I can't always reach the maid between the phone line changes and no email. I find it hard to make changes if I don't run into the maid at home.
While many individual cleaners and maids provide satisfactory service, you just don't know what you're getting with private domestic help. Over recent years, individual cleaners have experienced some highly publicized controversies. Many homeowners are not aware that if you hire a personal maid which is not employed or contracted by a 3rd party and you pay that maid more than $1800 per tax year, you are responsible for Federal and State payroll taxes. In some cases homeowners have been forced to pay hefty fines for failing to pay Social Security taxes on their domestic workers. In addition, the risk of employing undocumented workers for service positions has caused many homeowners to steer clear of individual domestic help. Individual cleaners are usually self-employed and often lack the resources and skills needed to reliably and properly clean your home. The high-turnover rate for individually hired domestic help can many times leave you needing to refill these positions in order to find quality workers. Why waste your time with that? At ECS, we believe that our success depends on our customers' complete satisfaction and the training of our staff.
You can always be assured that you'll receive the highest levels of service the cleaning industry can provide. We achieve that by providing our clients with a unique set of services in order to create a feeling of relaxation and order in your home. It's almost like being on vacation without ever leaving the house!
ECS achieves this feeling by hiring the best people that truly care about your needs and requests. We carefully screen each and every employee with comprehensive background and reference checks. We only hire reliable, dependable, trustworthy individuals who understand our commitment to high standards and professional integrity. We then thoroughly train our maids to properly provide you with quality cleaning services, no matter how big or small. Our maids learn to follow proper procedures, are detail oriented, and thoroughly complete specific tasks in order to achieve the hotel style quality you deserve. All of our maids arrive at your home in clean, professional uniforms with cheerful, helpful attitude that makes you feel pampered from the moment they walk through the door. This quality of work is guaranteed because we continually monitor our cleaning staff through regular inspections, field supervision, and detailed record keeping. Because your personal safety and security are our top priority, all of our maids are fully insured and bonded, so you can rest assured that we'll treat your home as we would our own. We train our staff to understand that our labor is the cleaning of properties but our job is to give our customers the relief and satisfaction of coming home to a clean home. We envision our customers who at 6:00 a.m. may be preparing the kids for school or baby for daycare. We envision the tough day ahead at the office and the grueling drive back home during rush hour. And we envision the feeling of satisfaction our customers feel when they open their doors and know that they can relax with their families and enjoy their home. Now this life scenario may not apply to all, but ultimately the result is the same. Our customers seek our service and in return we supply them with a clean property and the simple comfort of time.
We also understand in order for us to provide our service, we need a proper staff. At ECS, we team up cleaning professionals and assign them to regular accounts. Our customers enjoy getting the same team, which provides the same results and comfort, of having that personal touch. Our team members enjoy working together and getting to clean the homes they service regularly, which makes each visit easier to maintain. This is not an easy task in an industry where the average yearly employment turnover rate is 200%, so we have made an effort to meet one-on-one with each employee and work with them on a customized career plan. We hire cleaners that love to clean and provide a company that provides livable wages, recognition and appreciation for all their efforts. As a result, we are proud of our average years of employment being 4 years and that 30% of our staff have been with ECS for over 7 years. If you asking yourself how can ECS provide such good service and keep such a low turnover rates? Well for many reasons, but one is that an average entry level employee training will cost $2000 per person. Those savings are passed along to our customers in our affordable rates and to our staff with our incentive programs.
At ECS our professional cleaning services are unmatched in the industry. We meet with customers and customize our service per room in your home. We know how to clean, but what we are interested in knowing is how to modify our service to fit your unique needs. For customers that seek all rooms to be cleaned without any specific requests, they can expect each room to be thoroughly cleaned, dusted, and vacuumed using professional cleaning products and equipment. These customers can expect all kitchen appliances, cabinets, tables, and chairs to be wiped down and counters, sinks, and back splashes will be scrubbed and sanitized. We can even put the dishes away! In the bedrooms, linens can be changed and laundered, furniture will be cleaned and dusted and floors will be vacuumed or washed, even under the beds! Your bathrooms will positively shine after we've cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized the showers, tubs, sinks, vanities, mirrors, toilets, and cabinets. The floors and tile walls will be washed and scrubbed and the chrome polished. It will feel like you're living in one of the finest hotels! Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg of all the services we can provide for you. For customers that maintain their own properties but need help on those tough areas such as bathrooms, floors and kitchens, we are your answer. As an ECS customer, you may exclude cleaning details or even entire rooms. We want to focus on the areas you prefer. Our rates are designed for customers that need to maintain a budget or just need a pick me up in cleaning; they are not in need of a whole top to bottom service that most cleaning companies will only do. Last minute company coming? Call us so we can get the guest rooms and common areas ready! Your pooch's muddy paws got all over the house? We can clean the floors! Couldn't find the time to get all the laundry done? Call us we can have it washed, dry and folded before you get home! At ECS, we are not a one size fits all service.

More on For-Profit Colleges; More on Horowitz
It's amazing how people are willing to accept truisms—and to argue with questions rather than with facts.
A case in point is Bill Belew at the blog "The Biz of Knowledge." He stumbled across my post (it also appeared on dKos, TPMCafe, and ePluribus Media) yesterday on the problems the University of Phoenix is now facing. He calls it "happy, giddy?, ecstatic."
Interesting. Read my blog, and see if he's right.
He's actually calling two of us "happy," et al, me and Asparzia at Mad Melancholic Feminista. In response to her post, Belew asks, "What's wrong with making a profit?" Not only does the question show a rather unsophisticated understanding of economics, but it is the wrong question. Profit itself is not the problem—it's the use of a profit model inappropriately that bothers those of us concerned by the U of P type of education business. Profit (in the context of contemporary American free-market beliefs) demands short-term dollar efficiency, something that leads to a streamlining of procedures that, in an educational context, leads to a dumbing down of the "product." Belew continues his misunderstanding, assuming a simplistic dichotomy between profit and operating "in the red." He doesn't seem to understand that these aren't the only options, and that "non-profit" doesn't necessarily mean losing money (look at Harvard, for Pete's sake). All Belew is doing with this question is appealing to the misconceptions of people who blindly accept the idea that profit is the end of everything (which it may be, though not in the sense assumed).
Belew's next question is "What should education be?" About U of P, he then says "they except [sic] most any student, indeed." As long as that student can pay the freight. But many of our colleges do the same, particularly our public community colleges. He also conveniently ignores the fact that the expansion of American higher education is due to the expansion of public institutions, not from for-profit education. As he never even attempts to address his question himself, we have to assume that, like his "profit" question, this is simply a red herring.
Getting to my post, Belew asks again if there is a problem with making a profit. He follows: "Schools like the University of Phoenix likely pay enough in taxes to fund a number of non-profit schools. Would anyone like to do the math?" Yes, I would like him to do the math. Not that it's relevant, but he makes a claim here that would be extremely difficult to substantiate.
The problem with profit-driven schools is that profit becomes the goal, not product. In many businesses, we need the profit motive to insure a good product. In education, where the product is much harder to measure, this doesn't work so well. That's what's wrong with profit in this context. The difficulty of measuring the quality of the product makes mis-use of "education" too easy for those whose interest is simply profit and not education. Often, people don't know that they have gotten a substandard education until years after the fact.
Belew doesn't like that the traditional educational structures insure faculty power: "Faculty powers have also protected themselves at the expense of their students, kept curricula in tact [sic] when nobody was interested, and driven countless school budgets into the red." Not that he provides any proof of these sweeping statements! Faculty power and student power are, sometimes, at odds, but it is a tension that is needed for the good of the institution, just as is the tension between these two and administrative power. In a for-profit situation, using a customer model, the faculty becomes simply "service provider," weakening the entire structure and, ultimately, short-changing the students (who, by their very nature, are not "educated" consumers).
Like so many who criticize our "real" universities, Belew conveniently overlooks the fact that they are the best in the world. The for-profit ones can't compete with them on any level, except by presenting a weakened parody of real education, offering it to unsuspecting consumers as the same as the "real" thing though at a cut-rate price. Buyer beware: you get what you pay for.
Oh, maybe I'm too harsh. Maybe there should be a much more careful debate about the value of for-profit institutions like U of P. Belew, unfortunately, doesn't even try to further such a thing. At least, not in his responses to me and to Asparzia.
Maybe someone else will. I would love to listen to someone making a real defense of the likes of U of P. It's a debate that, given the current climate, we really should have.
A sure sign that David Horowitz and his minions have lost their "war" against the universities is that all they can do, now, is jump up and down, yelling "Not, not, not." Jacob Laksin is doing just that. It is certainly comforting.
In a "critique" of the American Federation of Teachers study of faculty-bias "research," Laksin is reduced to the odd claim that the research considered wasn't meant as research, but to "paint a representative picture." However, as the AFT study shows, the data used to paint that picture is flawed by its own bias. The methods used are akin to that of an artist who claims that red is blue, proving so by pointing to her own painting in which she has portrayed a red sky. Odd indeed.
Later, Laksin continues the claim that examination of syllabi can stand in for examination of a course as a whole:
First, syllabi are comprehensive. They reveal on what basis professors grade their students (involvement in political activism is frequently a factor); what books they assign (often from only one-side of the political spectrum); and what their motivations are (many professors frankly announce their commitment to nurture political activists). Second, they are unimpeachably objective, insofar as they are compiled by and represent the views of the professors themselves.
No. Syllabi are not comprehensive, no more than outlines are. And they do not reveal the basis for grading, only the assignments and their weight (and I would love to see Laksin prove that "political activism is frequently a factor" and that "many professors frankly announce their commitment to nurture political activists"—giving percentages and total numbers. He can't? Oh, right—he just picks and chooses, not exactly a scientific method). His second point is just strange. Syllabi are objective? Sure, professors put together their syllabi, but the syllabi are merely a means of pointing out the general direction of the courses. They are in no way an "objective" view of the courses themselves.
To make his argument, Laksin does admit that the studies he and Front Page Magazine have been involved in are based "largely on course syllabi, [and that] they cast light on a prevalent pattern of unprofessional conduct by professors and expose entire academic departments where the top priority is indoctrination rather than education." In other words, he is admitting that what he and FPM are passing off as research is on the same level as student papers that use, say, SparkNotes rather than primary material. Even if, to use Laksin's own justification for shoddy research, the authors of the subject books had written the SparkNotes on them (as professors write their syllabi), the two things remain essentially different: conclusions from the one cannot safely be applied to the other.
Laksin argues that he and FPM use syllabi because they would not be granted access to classrooms. He even claims that a charge of McCarthyism would be leveled if they tried. But I have a standing invitation to Laksin's boss, David Horowitz, to visit my classroom at any time—an invitation I would certainly extend to Laksin or anyone else (as long as they were willing to observe and not disrupt). There are certainly thousands of other professors who would open their doors, too—it is in our best interest for the public to see what we do. Laksin, Horowitz, and FPM notwithstanding, we do an excellent job and love to share.

Youth Philanthropy Board
Service Learning and Leadership Opportunities
The B'nai Tzedek program includes opportunities for service learning and the chance to participate on the Jewish Community Foundation's Youth Philanthropy Board — which is open to high school students who have established a B'nai Tzedek Fund. The Youth Philanthropy Board isn't just community service — it's philanthropy, advocacy, leadership, and service learning all rolled into one. Teens are entrusted with thousands of dollars provided annually by the Jewish Community Foundation, giving them the opportunity to engage in collective grantmaking.
They also volunteer as ambassadors for the program, teaching others about youth philanthropy and tzedakah. Throughout the year, teens explore and identify their values, along with the local, national, and international nonprofit organizations that address those values — all while learning how to be wise, strategic philanthropists.
Youth Philanthropy Board Meetings
The Youth Philanthropy Board meets monthly on Sundays. Meetings are held at the Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus, usually from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

'Growing up together in Newtown'.
Welcome to our Eco-Schools web page. We hope you will find it full of information about what we do.
What is Eco-Schools?
Eco-Schools is a countrywide scheme which helps children take responsibility for the future of their environment.
For more details about Eco-Schools please visit their website at: www.eco-schools.org.uk
Our Awards
We are working towards our bronze and silver award and our sustainable programme award. We have designed an Eco-Shools Code for St George's.
The Action Team
Our Action Team is made up of children and adults. At present, we have two elected members from each class in KS2 each with an eco topic for their class, and then we have a chairperson, secretary and treasurer from years five and six. We have a parent governor and class teachers, as well as an Eco school leader who oversees all the projects.
In January we are going to team a KS1 class with a KS2 class, this will involve two children from each class who will then feed back to the rest of the class.
Our Meetings
We hold meetings regularly- each year group meets once a month and we have whole school council meetings once every half term. We meet during key stage 2 assembly. We have an agenda for our meetings, and minutes are taken by our secretary as a. record of our meetings. We all get to know each other well, and everyone is allowed to have their say!
Our Action Projects
This year to give everyone a chance to be involved in the eco school council we have given a topic to each KS2 year group
At present, the responsibilities are:
Year 3- Healthy Living and Transport
At St George's we are very keen to promote healthy lifestyles through teaching the benefits of fitness and of eating a balanced diet. For more information see our healthy schools policy.
We are currently putting together a School Safer Routes to School Travel Plan. This includes a survey of pupils, staff and parents, graphs and figures from the results and actions to be taken.
Year 4 – Energy and water
We are collecting data about the amount of energy we use in school and recording the figures for gas, water and electricity. These findings will be recorded on our eco school council display boards. We are also finding ways to encourage the school to save energy.
The energy committee also meets once a month with the caretaker to record, monitor and feedback their findings to the group.
Year 5- Litter and waste
We don't just pick up the litter! We learn why we shouldn't drop it and about the effects of litter on the environment. At all times we encourage everyone to put litter in the bins. We talk about this in assemblies and we are also developing posters asking everyone to keep the place free of litter. We sometimes have a problem when children drop litter but this has been solved by banning eating on the playground. We sometimes have a problem with litter near the fences because some people drop litter outside the school grounds and it blows inside and collects in certain areas. Our Litter Busters go out regularly to collect the litter and dispose of it safely. We supply our children with litter pickers' vests and gloves.
We have signed up with a recycling company, Recycool, so that we can collect and recycle old mobile phones and used inkjet and toner/ laser printer cartridges to raise money for school funds. This also helps the environment because handsets and cartridges contain toxic substances which, if they are dumped in landfill, can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute the earth. Find out more at www.recycool.org.
We work very hard at St Georges School and use a lot of paper! We have been recycling our scrap or waste paper for a while now. Unwanted paper is put into the green bins located in each classroom. The cleaners are in charge of emptying these bins the bins are emptied every day; we empty the bins into a big tub which is moved by trolley to the Paper Bank. We also try to reuse paper as much as possible. We use the back of unwanted worksheets and photocopies for our scrap paper. We also make posters to encourage people to use paper wisely and dispose of it properly.
Year 6- Biodiversity and school grounds
Our main projects are the plastic bottle green house for the Environmental Area. Developing the school grounds to encourage natural wildlife. And to promote a healthy environment for our children to grow up in, to give the children a sense of responsibility in looking after an area. Year six have produced environmental leaflets for children and parents/ carers which we are looking at being printed professional and disrupted to the local community. As a whole school project, each child in their class have planted a daffodil bulb to look after and in the spring the daffodils will be sold and all monies raised will go to Cancer Research.
There is much work still to be done. We have many planters which need regular attention, and we would like to use more of the lovely ideas for planting schemes that have been suggested by the children.
Whole eco school council Global citizenship
At present we are looking at how the environment in other countries effects climate change.
Other Projects
We have just completed the Switch Off Fortnight campaign to encourage everyone to save energy during the school day and at home.
Eco school council- information about the eco awards and the nine topics
The pod- lesson plans assembles and activities for the children to complete relating to the nine topics
Go-givers- activities, lesson plans assemblies for teachers and activities for the c hildren.

Yes, I'm a writer.
Yes, I write historical fiction.
But I'm also a fan of FACTS.
In any of my books, from the 600 page Opportunites: Jamie Leith in Darien in the picture above to our Vampire High School series, accurate facts are researched for almost every paragraph. In my latest book, A Connecticut Vampire in King Arthur's Court , I bring the two together- vampires and history.
But just because I'm writing in a genre that a lot of people dismiss as 'mush', doesn't mean that the story isn't good, or that the history is not researched. On the contrary, I think I over-research it. Apart from the vampire... every main or sub-character in the book is real; researched, and actually existed. Every town is real. Every historical fact, every action, every house, palace is real. The timeline of my plot is historically accurate to the day, even the hour. I maybe write for an hour, and 'research' for another.
Wikipedia is fantastic, but I've also got an extensive library at home, with many books on the period. When it comes down to it, I want you to be so immersed in my books that you never want them to end. That makes it all worthwhile.
Okay, my rant is over, I'm going back to Christmas Day, 1501.
Have a great day.

Taking care of your future for life is the primary goal of our Atlanta estate planning attorney and the support staff at Meyring Law Firm. We are devoted to ensuring that your case is resolved in the best manner possible. Our legal team has the experience and knowledge necessary to serve you throughout each step of your case.
We begin each case by reviewing your specific needs over the phone and then taking the appropriate steps to achieve a successful case resolution.
Learn about the personalized representation we offer for various types of cases below.
Our Practice Areas
Trust-Based Estate Planning
Trust-based estate planning is used in situations when you have estate planning goals or personal needs that cannot be accomplished with only a will. Trusts can help a family avoid probate, can keep the handling of family legacy money completely private, can provide the ability to manage monies for child beneficiaries, and much more. Call the Meyring Law Firm in Cobb County now, and a member of our trust and estate legal team will help you get started with your family trust.
Self-prepared and program-generated wills are often ineffective, but you can have confidence that your objectives will be achieved with our Firm's attorney-prepared wills. Our attorney helps support the will that is presented to the probate court if someone challenges it, and the Firm will also contest wills for clients who need to challenge the validity of questionable wills.
Probate of Estates
Probate is the legal process by which the court designates an Executor or Administrator and oversees the transfer of property and assets from the decedent to the surviving family and will beneficiaries. We specialize in assisting the decedent's representative with the requirements for proper filing and processing, reporting to the court, and resolving asset distribution issues.
Estate Litigation
Our Firm represents beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, and claimants when it is necessary to litigate to resolve issues in the probate of an estate. Estate litigation includes a wide range of legal battles relating to the surrounding estate litigation, including challenges to the validity of a will, fraud in the execution of a will, and the legitimacy of will beneficiaries and claimants to the estate.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the general term for the assistance given to clients by our legal team to plan for any situation of the client's incapacity or death. An estate plan can be as simple as a simple will or it can be more complete with the addition of financial power of attorney and advance directive for health care documents. If you want to ensure that your family and legacy are secure in the future, you should take action to start estate planning by calling us today.
Powers of Attorney
If you become incapacitated through illness, injury, or aging, you can appoint another person to handle your finances. The power of attorney document is one of the most powerful and useful estate planning devices because the only alternative to the power of attorney is a conservatorship, which costs the client much more time and expense than a power of attorney.
Advance Directives for Health Care
Advance directives for health care are legal documents that specify advance medical instructions regarding your preferred medical treatment and your final wishes for life support. Formerly the Living Will, in the Advance Directive, you name a trusted agent and empower him or her to direct your wishes as stated in your document.
Guardianships & Conservatorships
Guardianships and Conservatorships are legal proceedings in the probate court that allow one person to ask for control of another person's finances and health care. Our Firm can help with Guardianship and Conservatorship proceedings in the least stressful and most time-efficient manner for the family involved.

Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon!
I guess that when you think about the people you'd turn to when it comes to making money online that William Shakespeare wouldn't be top of your list. Well maybe it's time to think again.
He might have been dead for nearly 400 years but Bill can teach us all a thing or two about making a dollar on the internet…
The following quote from Julius Caesar comes courtesy of a post by QuadsZilla.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose the ventures before us.
If you're not a great Shakespeare fan, essentially what the above quote is saying is that if you don't get up off your butt and do something about your great idea to make money, you'll miss out on the opportunity and be "bound in shallows and in miseries".
I don't know about you but that whole shallows and miseries thing sounds a bit scary so I think it's time to finalise my battle plan for 2007 and start doing something about it.

1 – Porto is known for its mysterious fog, but the local's warmth will make everything else shine!
Book a historical walking tour with us!
2 – The bridge Luís I was built in 1886 to connect both cities Porto and Gaia and was constructed by Gustave Eiffel, along with his partner Théophile Seyrig. We could say Eiffel was training for the Eiffel Tour (1889), in Paris. 🙂
Check all of this for yourself at the historical walking tour.
3 – São Bento Station is considered one of the most beautiful architectural landmarks of the world.
You can know it by doing a historical walking tour.
4 – In June, the city is awake all night to celebrate St. John, eating sardines and drinking wine!
Have fun too in the night tour!
5 – Porto is full of new places to eat and drink! You can dance and have fun pretty much everywhere!
Or you can book a food tour with us and taste the famous food of Porto.
6 – Did you know Lello bookstore was the place J.K. Rowling first started writing Harry Potter in? She was inspired by such beautiful place!
Make sure you don't miss a thing and try the cultural walking tour.
7 – Port Wine is made in the Douro region (classified in 2001 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO) and is a strong landmark in the city.
Get to know all about it (and, most importantly, taste it) doing the wine tour with us.
8 – There's a hidden story in almost every street and every corner.
These stories are told in the medieval walking tour.
9 – Douro river (that we could almost translate as "made of gold") gives you a phenomenal view during the night with all the lights reflected in the water. This is one thing you shouldn't miss when visiting Porto.
Again, check the historical walking tour.
10 – There's a huge garden in the middle of the city, with a spectacular view. It is called Palácio de Cristal (Crystal Palace) and is a place full of romantic paths. You can spot many peacocks (such wonderful creatures) and it is a place you will not forget anytime soon.
Check the enchanted tour!
So many reasons to visit Porto…
If you want to know these reasons by yourself and fall in love with the city (like we did), count on City Lovers Tours – the best way to know Porto.

Noam Chomsky, of all people, has called Tricky Dick "America's last liberal president." Sadly, he couldn't have been more right.
Way back in 2008 I said this:
If he were a candidate in the 2008 presidential election, Richard M. Nixon would be more progressive than either the Republican or Democratic nominees.
What a ludicrous thing to say, right? I mean, Nixon was as twisted and corrupt as any president in US history. Hunter Thompson said "Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning." He got caught with said pants down in l'affaire Watergate and had to resign. He's the reason anything remotely scandalous has to have a name ending in "-gate."
Worst. President. Ever. A fixer of the first order. All of which attached, by association, to the Republican Party, making his name synonymous with the rank evil of the American conservative polity.
That he was congenitally shady is unarguable, but the conservative part probably isn't fair at all. Continue reading John Oliver's beatdown of DaVita reminds us: Richard Nixon was an American liberal icon

While reservations are not required, making one is the best way to ensure Shofers will be at your service when you need them!

Christian ministries may have more impact if they focus on holistic care and ministry than on a "specialist" approach to faith or spirituality. It is too easy to fragment intellectual, physical, and emotional needs as aspects of flourishing spirituality. … Read More →
You can foster the growth and development of others, particularly people who experience disabilities, in your church or community by recognizing their gifts and talents, presenting opportunities for them to utilize their gifts, and encouraging them to develop their skills. … Read More →
Christian Horizons' fourth service principle contains countercultural messages that may powerfully impact the self-concepts of people who experience disability, transform the work of the church and benefit society as a whole if practiced effectively. … Read More →
God, in his infinite wisdom, gives us all the gift of free will. There are times I wish for greater choice and freedom and other times I wonder why God does not make the choice for me. Ultimately, I think God knows that the benefits of risk and the opportunity for learning and growth that these may present outweigh the consequences of "compliance." … Read More →
The biggest challenge for people with exceptional needs in relationship with others who may or may not have exceptional needs is often a lack of opportunity for reciprocity and responsibility. For example, for many years, I attended churches where little was expected of me. Everyone over-praised the fact that I showed up. … Read More →
Faith communities can model the principle of promoting full citizenship by ensuring that people with exceptional needs are always welcomed into worship services and times of fellowship. Promoting full membership within the faith community might also mean ensuring that religious education is adaptable and communion or other liturgical components are accessible. … Read More →
