Faculty Development
The VALUE Project
The Association of American Colleges and Universities' VALUE project "builds on a philosophy of learning assessment that privileges authentic assessment of student work and shared understanding of student learning outcomes on campuses over reliance on standardized tests administered to samples of students outside of their required courses." Learn more about this important, national project and how the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is involved here.

Remember a couple of months ago when we were discussing whether it was a good idea to use Social Networking to find job applicants? Some of us were a little gun-shy. These online profiles have pictures, and information about age, political affiliations, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and all of the other things recruiters/employers aren't supposed to know. Then, as HR got its feet wet, it got braver.
Companies started asking job applicants to open their Facebook accounts and show them the content. This made some people uneasy, but it could be justified. Your Social Networking profiles are publicly available information. It could be assumed that the average social networker (is that the correct term for us?) publishes their employment details online. It is important for a company to know how you are going to portray yourself as one of their employees. Look at some Twitter profiles if you want to see some examples. People put their employer's name and position title…and then write "tweets are my own and do not represent my employer." Your tweets do represent your employer though. Especially if you're one of the people the client will need to interact with when receiving the company's service. "Hey remember that douchebag who posted his unpopular opinion about the situation in the middle-east? I don't want to buy a car from him." Candidates even had the ability to make their profile employer friendly, and use it to their advantage in the interview. They could show pictures of travelling and engaging in activities that make them appear more well-rounded.

I'm not sure why employers want to check the possible employees social networks. They should get or not get the job because of their qualifications not because of a Facebook post. It's a social network not an employer network. That's what sites like LinkedIn are for. This is just my opinion.
This makes me want to delete my facebook.
Well in Facebook's defense, they did issue a statement that they do not support the practice. http://greggowe.com/content/facebook-issues-statement-against-emplo...
I used it as an example, but it's not a Facebook or even a Social Networking issue. This is an employer issue that needs to be addressed with some kind of legislation regarding privacy and new technology.
Heard about this request, Scott, but didn't really believe it. Guess that's one way to drive people away from FB.
This is freaky Scott! And to think that Facebook has conspired against us! I never liked the thought of Timeline! Asking your potential employee for their Facebook password is really a test to see how dumb someone is - or how they are testing your trust and dedication to the company. Either way, the fault would be on you to give it to them. It's not Invasion of Privacy if you give consent. However, employers should only have access to your work/portfolio, referrals, and criminal background.
Thanks Marni! The idea that someone could ask for that made me uneasy...especially after I looked back at all the stuff I kept in there.
I hope the Panel is ok. My main goal was to not come off as a complete tool. Sounds like mission accomplished?
You are so right on the mark, Scott with this advice!
Hey saw your Skype panel discussion. You look great! Really had to laugh at the "creepy" comment. You are going to love it. Should be posted soon.

nice advent calendar with meaning
By dmblstnr
from St. Louis, MO
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Best Uses
We liked the idea of the calendar allowing our children to create the nativity scene each day instead of filling other advent calendars with candy or little toys. It's nicely made for little ones. However, the nativity figures don't stick very well, and there isn't much sticky surface period.

The Voting Rights Act was a monumental political achievement during the Civil Rights era. It banned such things as poll taxes and literacy tests that had long suppressed black voter turnout. States like California and Texas also have a history of discrimination against Hispanic voters.
The justices used competing statistics in Wednesday's public session to make their points.
Justice Elena Kagan pointed out Alabama was about a quarter African-American, but has no black statewide elected officials.
"If Congress were to write a formula that looked to the number of successful Section 2 [VRA] suits per million residents, Alabama would be the Number One state on the list," she said.
But Chief Justice John Roberts told the government lawyer: "Do you know which state has the worst ratio of white voter turnout to African-American voter turnout? Massachusetts. Do you know what has the best, where African-American turnout actually exceeds white turnout? Mississippi."
He cited similar numbers for voter registration. Roberts later asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli: "Is it the government's submission that the citizens in the South are more racist than citizens in the North?"
Verrilli replied simply, "It is not."
Kennedy raised another area of concern, whether state sovereignty was being undermined by what critics of Section 5 call onerous federal oversight.
"There is a federalism interest in each state being responsible to ensure that it has a political system that acts in a democratic and a civil and a decent and a proper and a constitutional way," he said. "But if Alabama wants to have monuments to the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, if it wants to acknowledge the wrongs of its past, is it better off doing that if it's an own independent sovereign than if it's under the trusteeship of the United States government?"
The Obama administration points out that states have gotten out of Section 5. In recent years, 31 cities and counties and Virginia successfully petitioned to be exempt from the pre-clearance requirements, though the rest of the state remains under federal oversight.

Linkin Park - Iridescent (Transformers 3 Remix)
Linkin Park

Formed in 1996, the band rose to international fame with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005 and multi-platinum in several other countries.

The band has collaborated with several other artists, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mashup EP Collision Course, and many others included on Reanimation. The band's most recent studio album, A Thousand Suns, was released on September 8, 2010. Linkin Park has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and has won two Grammy Awards.

Hooker Dylan Hartley insists he will be able to handle the wind-up merchants when England face Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.
Hartley was banned for eight weeks after being found guilty of biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris, who is currently injured, in the corresponding fixture last season.
The Northampton hooker also served a two-week ban for striking Ireland opposite number Rory Best in a Heineken Cup game in December.
Hartley, who is pushing for a return to the England starting line-up after making his return from injury off the bench in the Six Nations win against Scotland, expects to receive some special treatment at the Aviva Stadium.
But the 26-year-old is confident he can handle it, recalling the way he dealt with the pressure put on him by Wales coach Warren Gatland two years ago.
"I'll be aware, that I might get a bit of stick from the crowd. Maybe (from the opposition)," Hartley said.
"If anything, I'll be more focused. I'll compare it to the time I got a bit of wind-up from an opposition camp and it made me focus that little bit more.
"If anyone is (targeting me) it is short-sighted because as soon as you focus your energies on someone else you are not concentrating on yourself."
Hartley recalls with a grimace the last time England went to Dublin in the Six Nations, when Ireland blew away their dreams of winning the Grand Slam with a ferocious performance.
Although most of the England team has changed since that 24-8 defeat, Hartley will make sure the newcomers realise just what awaits them in the Aviva Stadium cauldron.
England, he warned, would have to be right mentally and physically right from the outset.
"It was the intensity which stood out," he said.
"I remember the first scrum of the game and we got rolled, they got a big shunt on and the crowd goes wild. I remember my first carry of the game and I got held in the choke tackle, ball turned over.
"If you look at the way they started the game against Wales at the weekend, they put a big emphasis on that. We need to front up emotionally. You need to be right in the head."
Despite those bad memories, England have beaten Ireland on each of the last two meetings, including a 30-9 drubbing at Twickenham last season.
"We're expecting a bit of a response after last year," Hartley said.
"Last year no one really gave us a chance but we played three away games and got three results. In terms of away rugby we've done it. Mentally we'll be okay."

Rapha and Timothy Everest Three-Piece Cycling Suit
From Bike to Boardroom
Designed for the sartorially-minded city rider, Timothy Everest and Rapha's bespoke three-piece suit raises the bar for urban cycling apparel. Inspired by gentleman riders of the 1930s (with a nod to country farmers in their Sunday best) the suit is the result of a 12-month collaboration between Rapha and Timothy Everest, the renowned Savile Row tailor. The finished product, a jacket, waistcoat and trousers or plus fours, is characterised by its elegant tailoring and luxury finishing, a formal suit that is at home in the boardroom as it is in on the bike.
Features and fabric
As one of London's leading fine tailors, Timothy has dressed everybody from cabinet ministers to Hollywood A-listers, a clientele with a diverse range of demands. His choice of fabric for the Rapha suit is an inspired one. Woven in Britain, the luxury wool has a traditional Prince of Wales check but has been created using nanotechnology to produce a material which, in addition to looking good, is extremely water and stain resistant. It is also highly versatile, keeping the wearer cool in summer and warm in winter.
Feature-wise, the suit is packed with innovations for on-the-bike practicality and comfort. A 'storm collar' fastens at the jacket's neck to keep out the elements, while the bottoms can be buttoned inside the front pockets to prevent them flapping when riding. The jacket also has an 'action back', a shoulder pleat similar to those found in shooting jackets, and which allows for extra reach on the bike. In cooler conditions the cuffs can be turned to down to provide better protection for the hands and the undersides of both collar and sleeves are pink, a contemporary twist that also makes the rider more visible.
The suit is only available as a fully bespoke garment, this is priced at £3500 for a 3piece and there is a limited number available in 4 cloths
For enquiries regarding the suit please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

StatPro Revolution Update – May 2013
StatPro Revolution : Monday, May 20, 2013
Our latest release of StatPro Revolution includes some great functionality, additions and enhancements.
StatPro isn't a faceless company, far from it in fact. We are a collection of great minds with original ideas, and our blog is a place that we can share them with you.
We blog about relevant and current topics, and always with our own opinions, meaning that what you read in our blogs, you won't find any where else. Your comments and opinions are also very welcome, so join in the conversation.
Our latest release of StatPro Revolution includes some great functionality, additions and enhancements.
If you are responsible for portfolio oversight, whether you are an ACD or Board Director, it is absolutely critical to understand how the fund is structured, how the fund is performing, what the fund manager is doing, and to monitor the fund continually. The Board of Directors or the ACD has the regulatory responsibility for the fund. At the end of the day it is about investor protection, so the ACD has to understand, in full, what is going on within the fund.
The simplest ideas are the ones that inspire change the most. StatPro Revolution is based on a simple idea: why not let everyone have access to their own portfolio and let them look at whatever analysis they want, when they want? Why should we have to wait for someone else to send us a report? Who says that the report tells us something that we are interested in or is even up to date? Of course, because in the past, this nice idea was impossible, we put up with waiting, but now it is possible, well what are we waiting for?
Recent high profile cases in the press are highlighting the lack of oversight of funds within the investment community. Today there is an increased demand for transparency from regulators and clients. Demands for the net asset value (NAV) of a fund to be instantly made available or for stress tests to be run are ever more prevalent, so in 2013, it is imperative that effective oversight can be demonstrated.
We've made some great additions and enhancements to StatPro Revolution. Take a look at the StatPro Revolution App Store, our stock-level equity attribution report and more!
Carl Bacon, CIPM, explains stock-level attribution, its use for "bottom-up" stock pickers and how it is valuable to stakeholders in the investment decision process.
Jimi Rajsombat, Head of Risk, StatPro, discusses var, volatility and historical simulation
The new StatPro Revolution Portfolio Objective Assessment report was designed with Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and private wealth managers in mind.
The ever-increasing importance of portfolio oversight and more flexible reporting in the asset management field cannot be overstated, says David Adams in this Bobsguide feature looking at the regulatory and market drivers for increased oversight and the need for technology assistance.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA), specifically in the UK, although there are similar bodies in North America, Europe and Asia, have recently recognized that the relationship between those parties responsible for the oversight of a fund and the fund manager is a lot more complex than first anticipated.

Golf in Mount Airy
Recommended Golf by Groupon Customers
When they took over Jimmy Mac's Golf Range, PGA professional Brad "Smiley" Latimer and his wife Pam knew they had their work cut out for them. The couple dove right in: they resurfaced the miniature golf course, illuminated its brick-lined pathways with nearly 100 solar lights, acquired a FlightScope Launch Monitor for lessons, and stocked on the driving range with new Titleist and Callaway balls. Even after completing these renovations, they continue to revamp the facilities. The 18-hole mini-golf course now features two cascading waterfalls, babbling brooks that wend along turf fairways, and new putters that send colorful golf balls into holes or to the one-eyed pirate living under the course bridge to fulfill his dream of a new ocular orb.
A 325-yard driving range showcases 25,000 square feet of Bermuda grass tees and 20 artificial turf hitting stations featuring laser yardage readers. The range has covered and uncovered stations, as well as lights that let golfers swing even after the sun has started to snore. Lessons provide the instructional guidance of a professional while taking advantage of the center's practice bunker and chipping and pitching greens, developing swings dependable enough to take down rabid ball washers.
Host of the PGA's Wyndham Championship from 1977 to 2007, Forest Oaks Country Club's private course incorporates natural elements such as looming trees and severely sloping hills with manmade sand traps and water obstacles, challenging beginning and experienced golfers alike. Opened in 1962, the terrain was renovated in 2002 after the renowned Love Golf Design group reached out to professional golfers to find out what makes an ideal course. The main improvement, helmed by Davis Love III, was the resprigging of the fairway with bermuda grass, a strain of turf that can handle extreme temperature changes, and a redesign of the new greens. The course was featured on the PGA for over 30 years, and was enjoyed by Davis Love III as well as Rocco Mediate and many other professionals. While the golf course is the main attraction, the club also houses a pro shop, a 25-yard professional-size swimming pool, tennis courts, and a restaurant.
Built in 1969 and having hosted the 2001 National Golf Association Triad Classic, Pine Knolls Golf Club has brought a long and sparkling history to its location in northeast Forsyth County. In 2006, two brothers-in-law from Ireland—Graham, a retired professional motorcycle racer and Pearse, a PGA professional—purchased the course. Today, they carry on its tradition of challenging and enjoyable play. To conquer the 6,338-yard layout, golfers must decipher the course's small and complex greens, which requires even more concentration than geocaching for holes on a course that spans an entire city.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 72 course
Total length of 6,338 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 72.4 from the back tees
Course slope of 123 from the back tees
From their home base at Deep River Golf Range, PGA-certified instructors Scott Duerscherl and Riley Kurtz help students along the path to lower golf scores. The teachers adhere to an overarching philosophy that there is no single perfect swing that works for every player. Instead, they tweak an individual's natural mechanics to create a comfortable swing that can be repeated even when hitting from difficult lies such as hillside dirt or camouflaged snares. During lessons with either Scott or Riley, students focus on the fundamentals of making proper contact with the ground in relation to the ball and controlling the ball's flight path. Casio high-speed cameras capture each cut for analysis with SwingView Pro software, which can spot swing-inhibiting problems such as backswing hitches and straitjacket polo shirts. On days when inclement weather prevents practice on the range, players can head to the indoor teaching area, complete with a sheltered putting green.
World-renowned course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. dreamed up the challenging layout of Mariners Landing Golf's 18-hole, par 72 course, where players putt on bermuda grass under the watchful eye of verdant mountains. Golfers shake their Magic 8 balls to decide among five sets of tee boxes before they play through the sand trap- and pond-studded fairways, which wind through residential areas. Players can also practice swings at the driving range's 12 hitting stations or rehearse chipping and putting on the practice green. The course's golf professional and an assistant golf professional instruct students in the proper way to thrust and parry during a golf-club duel, and the Dew-Sweepers pro shop outfits swingers with Titleist and Nike equipment. After facing down the fairways, golfers can relax in the clubhouse restaurant with a burger and fries.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-72 course
Length of 7,155 yards from the farthest set of tees
Course rating of 74.2 from the farthest set of tees
Slope rating of 130 from the farthest set of tees
Five tee options
Carved into the rolling landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Auburn Hills Golf Club's 18-hole course features 6,534 yards of elevated tee boxes and breathtaking views of the Southwest Virginia countryside. Throughout the course, players encounter tantalizing high-risk-and-high-reward shots straight from the architectural mind of Algie Pulley, such as the par-4 13th hole, which dares big hitters to drive for a half-visible green hiding 306 yards in the distance. More straightforward challenges await at the 190-yard, par-3 17th, where duffers must calm gun-shy golf carts before sending tee shots somersaulting over two large ponds that stand sentry in front of the green. The pristine par-72 opens its arboreal arms to golfers of all ages and experience levels with four tee options.
PGA instructor Werner Riemer uses Auburn Hills' sunlit green as a classroom, where the master dispenses his golf wisdom to students. Werner's teaching techniques have bolstered the talents of LPGA Hall of Famer Sandra Handy, and also earned him special PGA certification in golf instruction, a feat obtained by only 1% of PGA members and 3% of computer simulators.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Algie Pulley
- Length of 6,534 yards from farthest tees
- Course rating of 71.9 from farthest tees
- Slope rating of 127 from farthest tees
- Four tee options

The Best of Torchwood TV series Reviews
For lover of science fiction films and series, torchwood has been a great watch. Moreover, with each new season the producers try to bring out anew fiction. For the most part, this has continued to keep it interesting enough for the fans. However, there has been general feeling that with the well known characters from other series, the producer could do better. Nevertheless, the audience has been constantly growing in each series and the creators try to get a suitable viewing platform every time. Apparently, the choice of music in the Torchwood Tv series did not impress and hopefully, the next season will have some improvements.
Many parents are definitely concerned about the content on most of the shows aired at whichever time of the day since it is not easy to exercise parental control especially on teenagers. Torchwood tv series, like any other show that airs after 9:00pm is generally expected to have mature content as compared to other shows which are aimed at both kids and adults. However, Torchwood tv series has been found to be very popular even with younger audience leading the broadcaster to try and make it more child friendly. This has resulted in one show coming early whereby the broadcaster edits some of the content which is too explicit or violent.
Critiques and reviews are different in an amazing way. Each person is paid to give their opinion in much the same way that the audience has different views.
The Torchwood-Miracle-Day-BBC-One-review states that miracle day was very short yet indeed a miracle episode whereby mysterious things started happening such as the end of death. However, the miracle is said to have turned into a curse as soon as it came due to the overwhelming numbers of people. Apparently, much as seen in real life, people are still looking for someone to take blame for the miracle now turned crime and they identify a pharmaceutical company. Another review finds tat this was the very creative episode which would ensure that viewers kept watching out for the next episodes since it ended in suspense. However, the purpose of reviews is to make the series interesting enough to capture viewers since once they start viewing, they easily get hooked.

As a rule, the Giants and Jets don't play well together.
Xanadu — which we're now supposed to call American Dream Meadowlands at all times, to help taxpayers forget the drawn-out disaster this project has been for nearly a decade now — has been a tapestry of terrible for every party to ever stick a toe in the fetid waters of the Meadowlands. The fact that Triple Five is even willing to get involved was justifiably met with celebration, even if it was more than a little premature. And Triple Five is going to get whatever it wants to finish the project, because Chris Christie has staked a lot of political capital in the bog.

Why not start by having a good cut and colour before the cold really begins, this way you will feel better yourself and more ready for the chilly days.

You will achieve the best results if you leave this moisturizer in for a few minutes before rinsing your hair. If your hair is feeling really dry then once a week you should apply an intense moisturizing treatment lasting 10 minutes. Wrapping your hair in a plastic bag will create a humid environment and allow the conditioner to deeply penetrate.

The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Board of Education voted 4-2 to re-elect Renatta Cooper to a third term as its president at its regular board meeting on May 14, 2013.
"I am honored to be selected for a third year as this board's president and look forward to working with my colleagues for the academic achievement of all children in the district," said Cooper. "I would also like to discuss the possibility of adding a president-elect to work collaboratively for our students."
Since her election to the board in 2007, Cooper has focused on early childhood education, closing the achievement gap between groups of students, increasing the proficiency English language learners and a stronger engagement of parents and the community. An expert on early childhood education, Cooper formerly taught graduate-level child development programs at Pacific Oaks College and has been a member of the First 5 Los Angeles Board of Commissioners. She was first elected President of the PUSD Board of Education in 2011.
Local Historic View
Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a senior member of the Intelligence Committee, issued the following statement in response to allegations that the IRS has engaged in the targeted scrutiny of certain tax-exempt 501(c)4 social welfare groups:
"The Internal Revenue Service must enforce the tax code in a neutral and nonpartisan way. Any politicization of tax enforcement is abhorrent and should be viewed as a grave offense. These allegations must be investigated to the fullest extent and dealt with appropriately.
"I first raised the issue of selective enforcement by the IRS during the Bush Administration, when the agency audited All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena based on the content of a particular church service. After a former pastor gave an anti-Iraq War sermon, All Saints became the target of an aggressive IRS investigation in which the church's tax-exempt status was threatened. At the time, I could find only one Republican colleague, Rep. Walter Jones, that would join me in calling for an investigation. The IRS targeting of certain organizations on the basis of their ideology is anathema, deeply chilling to free speech and cannot be tolerated.
Sacramento, CA – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) issued the following statement today in response to Governor Jerry Brown's May Revision:
"I look forward to working with my colleagues to review Governor Brown's May Budget Revision proposal. I am very pleased to see that the budget calls for 56 new positions to help the Secretary of State eliminate the backlog and red tape of business filings. This will be very helpful for small businesses to stimulate economic growth and jobs for our region. In addition, I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure his proposal to reshape the Enterprise Zone Program and the New Jobs Hiring Credit is beneficial for the growth of businesses and jobs in my cities.

There are many theme songs for summer, but The Garden Song should be on the list of favorites. It's been performed by a wide range of singers from Peter Seeger to John Denver. It was that song that played in my head when a friend invited me to the White House Spring Garden Tour earlier this year. The tour is free, but you must have a ticket. As you might imagine, they are hard to get. The tours only run for two days and are given just twice a year, in the spring and the fall.
Not surprisingly, the ground are beautiful. What I didn't expect was bee hive, the playground set for Sasha and Malia or the trees labeled with a photo of the President or First Lady who planted them. It was a walk through living history.
What I really wanted to see was the White House Kitchen Garden which has generated so much publicity in recent years. The neat rows of lettuce and the herb garden provided a hint of the bounty to come. Few of us will ever have a garden to match the White House, of course. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to grow a few things each year. It turns out that gardening's benefits go far beyond producing flowers, fresh herbs or a succulent tomato.
Just last year, researchers from the Netherlands published the first evidence to suggest that gardening can promote relief from acute stress–just the kind that most of us live with daily. And there's "growing" evidence that gardening can help young and old with fitness and even mental acuity. So to borrow a line, I'm looking at growing my garden "inch by inch…" this year, even if it is just a small plot in the corner of our backyard. How about you?

My Mom has a language all her own. Well, for all the etymology geeks out there, it's not so much a language as a vernacular or even a jargon. No matter how you categorize it, it's a sort of word pizzazz that's distinctly hers.
Over the years, we've collected these terms with the goal of someday making a bound thesaurus — a Mom-saurus if you will. (Though, on second thought, that may sound more like something from the Paleolithic era than a word reference). Semantics aside, it'd be packed with turns of phrase, idioms, and sayings that just might be on an endangered words list were it not for my mother.
A few of the real gems include terms like: ravs instead of ravioli; sconces for, well, sconces but used at a rate higher than that of true sconce sightings; fisticuffs for any sort of run-in, but, when said, it must be accompanied by the action of spinning clenched fists under your chin in the manner of the Fighting Irish mascot; and excessive use of the word traipsing, as in, "the cat was traipsing about the garden with no regard for the orchids I had just planted."

Review: Resolution Calculator checks the image clarity of your photos
Resolution Calculator for Mac allows users to analyze both digital photographs and scanned images for the optimal screen resolution they should use. The program's interface is streamlined but not as intuitive as it should be.
The first thing we noticed about Resolution Calculator for Mac was a rather unclear interface. The lack of tutorials or instructions did not help, either. The program window contains two main buttons, one for scanned images and the other for digital images. Clicking and dragging files into the window, which is not clearly labeled, starts the analysis.

Our wedding documentary films...
Our wedding documentary films invoke the same poetic sensibility as our still images. Each film is a fusion of media - Super 8, video, digital audio and stills - transcending a typical wedding video. Our goal is to produce a film that is a lovely alternative to the typical wedding video.
"All I can say is Merci! The film truly captures the essence of the day. We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing footage! Truly magnificent! We just don't know what else to say...The film captures something that photographs just cannot. We will forever be grateful! We just feel like the luckiest couple to have such amazing, artistic documentation of such a special moment in our lives."
"...I looked at our wedding DVD you gave me yesterday and absolutely love it. Everything is so beautiful and I am so touched when I watch it. You grabbed small and beautiful details that make the DVD a piece of art. Thank you with all my heart. We have something that will always take us back to that wonderful and special day of ours..."
