| Modern Sunshine Handpainted Desk Clock Metal Sculpture, Design by Alex Kovacs - W212Description Modern Handpainted Metal Art Sculpture Clock, Desk, Mantle, Table Clock, Design by Alex Kovacs. THIS SCULPTURE IS 12" HIGH, AND 6" WIDE. THE SIZE OF THE BASE PLATE IS 6" X 6". Availability: Some of my sculptures I have in stock and others are made to order. Either way, it will ship out in 1 to 2 weeks. My sculptures are made of the highest grade industrial aluminum available. This sculpture is not a machine shop made mass produced item. Each sculpture is original, exclusively designed and hand made by me, Alex Kovacs. The quality of my work exceeds anything you can find anywhere in the world, when it comes to this kind of metal art. The transparent anodized enamel that I use is specially developed for aluminum. The colors are protected by the "lacquer" coating that is actually urethane, blocks out the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun. The hangers and the spacers are hand fabricated from aluminum also and designed to line up the plates accurately for the multi panel wall sculptures. The "swirling" designs are hand grinded into the metal. My famous "holographic" effects that I developed in 2006 and perfected in color in this metal art form, comes to life at any light source one can imagine of, no matter how weak this light source is. This is a main feature in my work that is so often duplicated worldwide. Just about all metal artists who have decided to hijacked my style, my designs and technique, are trying to profit from this popular "merchandise". If this sculpture is available, I'll send it on its way the next day after it is purchased and paid for. If it is sold already and you like to have one, I will make it up for you. If you need any changes done to it, let me know. I could not possibly "clone" it the exact same way again, due to the fact that I make them freehand. However it is safe to say, that the one you will get will be even nicer than the sculpture in this listing, due to that I am getting better at it as the time flies by. The average sculpture takes about ten days to complete before it is in the mail, which also includes the drying time. You can feel safe and secure when purchasing my work, for the past 46 years or so I had only satisfied customers. Also, PayPal has a 100% money return policy to protect you from wrong doings and is the safest money transfer institution available worldwide. For your custom needs, please contact me. Sincerely, Alex Kovacs | If you would like to make some changes to any of my items, please contact me.
You could order them in specific dimensions and arrangements, or have them in different colors. I can custom paint your sculpture to just about any shades of the rainbow's spectrum.
Due to the fact that I build these sculptures by free hand, not two of them will look exactly the same. However I'll try to do my best to "clone" it for you when you place an order for an item. One thing is for sure...you will get a sculpture that will be as nice, if not nicer than the one you selected. Once I completed your sculpture, I'll send photographs to you for your approval. Custom work is available, simply inform me of the subject or a design that you have in mind. Sincerely, Alex Kovacs |

Fall Home Maintenance Checklist
- Windows and doors: Prevent chilly drafts (and pricey heating bills) by checking and replacing any worn weather stripping and caulking any cracks. For loose-fitting doors, slide a draft guard or rolled-up towel underneath to fill the gap. Drapes, curtains, shades and blinds can also help reduce heat loss, according to energy.gov. For your chimney, floors, vents and more, these tips can keep cold air out of your house.
- Fireplace: Check your fireplace and flue system to remove soot or ashes. Check for cracks that could be a fire hazard. If you're not planning on using your fireplace at all, invest in a chimney balloon, which is a device designed to safely block the opening. (Just remember to take it out before you build a fire next season.) Most importantly, know what fixes are safe for you to tackle and what should be in the hands of a certified chimney sweep with training and proper equipment. Whether this is your first year or fifth year with your chimney, you might need an inspection. Read this guide on chimney inspections.
- Furnace: Before you turn up the heat for the season, start by changing (or cleaning) your furnace filter. (Not sure how to change your furnace filter? Check out these tips.) It's also a good idea to have an HVAC professional check your furnace once per year. And if you can't remember the last time you had your heating ducts checked for leaks and efficiency, an HVAC professional can help with that, too.
- Thermostat: For every degree you lower your home's temperature during the winter, you can save as much as 1%on your energy bill (according to the U.S. Department of Energy). If you have an older thermostat, consider replacing it with a smart model to save on heating costs. Many new thermostats have algorithms to learn your comings and goings so you're not paying to keep your home toasty warm when you're not around. Read these additional energy-saving tips for when the cold weather hits.
- Other home heating: We know they're cozy but be extra cautious when using space heaters. Space heaters cause an estimated 44% of house fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Regardless of how you heat your home, read these tips on using home heating sources safely.
- Drafts and cracks: Cold air will take advantage of any opportunity to sneak into your home. Here's a list of quick fixes for drafty places:
- Outlets and switch plates: Use foam-insulating sheets to block cold air coming in from exterior walls.
- Exposed ducts: Check your attic, basement, and crawl spaces and use sealant to plug up any leaks or cracks on exposed ducts.
- Floors: Don't underestimate the power of a thick, cozy rug. Your floors can account for as much as 10% of heat loss in a house.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: While you're in the process of prepping your house for the long winter, check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are in good working order. Also, with the increased risk of fire in winter, it's important to have a family escape plan. You can create a family fire escape plan using these seven tips.
- Gutters: Clogged gutters, and subsequent water issues, can cause a lot of problems, like foundation problems, wall and ceiling damage, or even insect infestations. (Read more in our related post about what can happen if you don't clean your gutters.) Start by clearing debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent them from leaking or sagging. Just make sure you do it safely – use a tall, sturdy ladder (check out our guide to picking the best ladder for your DIY job), and don't forget protective eyewear, gloves and long sleeves to protect yourself against debris, bacteria and pests.
- Roof: Snow can be a heavy burden for an old or damaged roof to handle. Before winter hits, inspect your roof for signs of potential problems, like missing, broken, blistered or curling shingles; cracked caulk or rust spots; or large patches of moss and lichen. Any damaged, loose or missing shingles should be repaired right away.
- Trees and landscaping: It's a good idea to trim any branches hanging near electric wires before they become a problem. Also, know how to spot the signs of a diseased or dying tree. Heavy snow and strong winter winds can knock down weak branches (or whole trees), so it's best to do the prep work while the weather's still mild.
- Lawn equipment: Drain the oil and gas from your mower before storing it for the off-season. Gasoline can separate and spoil in only a few weeks, which could potentially damage your engine.
- Snow removal supplies: Before the first snow, you'll be glad you thought ahead and bought supplies early. Inspect the bolts, belts and parts on your snowblower; make sure your snow shovel is in good shape; stock up on ice melt or sand; and invest in a snow rake to help clear your roof. Snow accumulation on your roof that exceeds 20 pounds per square foot can be dangerous.

Murphy: No reason for lawmakers to fear NRA
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy said Monday the National Rifle Association isn't as powerful as it used to be and Congress shouldn't fear going forward with a vote in favor of gun control.
Murphy said numerous polls demonstrate that NRA leaders are out of step with NRA members and Americans.
There will "probably be more (reports) to continue to make the case to lawmakers that they don't need to listen to members of the NRA, they need to listen to the American public and what gun owners really believe, not what the NRA tells Congress people believe," Murphy said Monday during a conference call.
Murphy said there are a lot of Democratic and Republican legislators "who want to do the right thing when it comes to passing gun legislation."
"They know the atmosphere changed after Sandy Hook and yet still are left with the political impact question of going up against the NRA," he said.
Some memebrs of the Connecticut congressional delegation are optimistic about implementing universal background checks and limits to high-capacity magazines. Whether any gun control legislation will pass through a Republican-controlled House is questionable. A representative of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen said Monday that Connecticut sportsmen don't think it's likely and that gun control should be done at the state level.
Recently, NRA leadership has changed its stance on background checks.
In 1999, the executive vice president of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, testified before the House Judiciary Committee and said, "We think it is reasonable to provide mandatory, instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone."
But last month when asked by Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., whether he still supported mandatory background checks in all instances at gun shows, LaPierre said, "We do not, because the fact is, the law right now is a failure the way it's working."
He said those who try to purchase a gun and are denied are generally not prosecuted.
"They are walking the streets," he said.
However, there have been more than 100 million National Instant Criminal Background checks in the last decade, leading to more than 700,000 denials, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's website. The system is designed to prevent criminals and other ineligible people from purchasing firearms.
Robert Crook, an NRA member who is the executive director of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, said instant background checks are normally done at gun shows in Connecticut. They take two minutes to two days, are processed by the state police and check multiple databases, he said.
"No gun is sold here at a gun show in Connecticut without instant gun (background) check approval, so we are tight," Crook said.
But there is room for additional tightening in Connecticut, Crook said, which he admits the NRA would be opposed to.
During a "casual sale" or a sale between two individuals, an instant background check is voluntary.
"One of our proposals is to make that mandatory," he said.
Crook said he would be in favor of universal instant background checks. However, he would question any additional background checks that might be more time-intensive, he said.
Crook said he is focused on what Connecticut needs and is not bound by what the NRA says.
Seventy-four percent of NRA members support criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun, according to a 2012 survey by Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Just last month, the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health reported that 84 percent of gun owners supported universal background checks for all gun sales.
"After dozens of mass shooting the NRA (leadership) has moved to the fringe," Murphy said.
He said he thinks it is because of the increasing contributions from manufacturers.
Since 2005, 74 percent of the funds contributed to the NRA were from "corporate partners" such as members from the firearms industry, according to a 2011 report titled Blood Money by the Violence Policy Center.
Crook said there was nothing wrong with the gun manufacturing industry donating to the NRA. Any national organization is funded partially by the industry they represent, he said.
Although Crook and his organization disagree with the NRA when it comes to instant background checks for "casual sales," overall "they do a bang-up job in Washington," he said.
The job of the NRA leadership in Washington is to protect the Second Amendment nationwide, he said. From there it should be up to every state to determine what gun control laws it wants and doesn't want, he said.
On the federal level, Crook said he didn't think universal background checks, high-capacity magazine limits or an assault weapons ban would be passed.
"The assault weapons ban here in Connecticut, it has accomplished nothing, it has failed on the federal level. … Why pass another one?" he said.
The ban is not relative to crime, it keeps assault weapons out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and in the hands of criminals, he said.
Murphy said he was optimistic about universal background checks and limits on high-capacity magazines.
"If we pass a bill in the Senate … it will be difficult for those in the House to sit on their hands," Murphy said.
There is real political danger if they don't vote, he said.
For example, in the 2012 election cycle, of 16 U.S. Senate races in 2012, the NRA lost 13, according to one of Murphy's reports.
"You were better off to be against NRA than with it," Murphy said about the 2012 Senate races.
President Barack Obama has also listed concrete recommendations and there is no mystery to what he supports, Murphy said. In Obama's State of the Union speech, he said Newtown community members deserved a "vote" on gun control. "Commonsense reform" including background checks, preventing anyone from buying guns for resale to criminals and limits to high-capacity magazines are some of the proposals on the table, Obama said.
"The president and vice president aren't backing down," Murphy said.
Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to be at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury on Thursday to discuss the federal efforts to reduce gun violence.

Sleeping in the Forest
I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.
~Mary Oliver
Thank you GABRIELLE ROTH,
for all you did to make our lives and bodies more whole.

No, no, not me.
My wife.
Yes, the one on the far right, with the expensive camera around her shoulder. She is the Food Blogger. At least when our nosy neighbor asks her "What do you do?", that is what she says with a toss of her head. Our neighbor is stumped, I tell you. These people, our neighbors, they do not have a modern outlook. All they know is to eat dal, bhaat, maacher jhol. And they also speak Bengali at home. What is this ? How can you advance if you don't speak English all the time ? This is modern world, no. But who will tell them ?
They ask me, "If your wife is a food blogger, why do you do all the cooking in the house ?". "Arre Baba, I only cook dal, rice and chicken curry, my wife she makes rhubarb clafoutis", I tell them. Those moron neighbors look at me like they have never heard of rhubarb. People can be so closed and backward in this part of India, it is like you are in the forests of Congo or something.
But to tell you the truth if I don't cook, what will the kids eat, what will I eat ? I cannot live on Hollaindaise sauce all my life can I ? Or a Blueberry Flan or even a Rhubarb Clafoutis ? My wife, she cooks only that from expensive books with glossy pages and bright pictures. Shiny kids with golden hair and a fairness that hurts, smile out of them. In the book they smile at the strawberry muffins set out on plates in a green meadow.
Now my kids are not like that. They have black hair that catches the warm sun and they eat mangoes with juice straining down their brown elbows.I tell them to lick it up, like I did sitting on the branches of the mango orchard in my Grandma's village.
My wife does not like mangoes.She makes strawberry creme fraiche for them.She is very very talented.She also knows all the right places to get out of season imported fruits. In the heat of Indian summer she manages to get strawberries. Yes, they don't look plump and juicy and don't taste that good but so what ? Also I have to agree that it is very expensive and it is hard for me to pay every month for all this, but what can I say ? She is so creative, I need to support her Food Blogging, no.
The neighbors, the ones who do not know a rhubarb from a rabbi, tell me "Oh your wife must be making good money in blogging. Always she is buying celery sticks from Reliance Fresh , never kundru from the our local vegetable seller".Arre what money, who will click on those Google ads to give money ? Money minded they are as if everyone does things for money only. Did Van Gogh paint for money ? Did Steinbeck make rich in his life ? No, na. So ?
Now what can I expect from such morons whose only aim to cook, is to eat that food. They don't even know what "plating" is.
See, after my wife makes the creme fraiche or whatever it is, she does something called "plating". She puts the food in very beautiful plates, the ones we are never allowed to use for dinner and then arranges them with pretty flowers and napkins and silver candlesticks. Now I don't know why candlestick is necessary for food but it all looks very pretty. We watch from afar. The baby, the 3 year old wants to lick the creme fraiche but I hold her tight. My older child says he is hungry. I tell him to go do his Math homework till Mommy finishes work.
My wife then starts taking pictures. Sometimes she gets on a step ladder and click pictures from top, at other times she sets up the camera on a tripod. She changes the camera lenses, places the plate on the ledge our balcony, lets it hang precariously and balances herself to take a closer shot.I stand there, my heart going "thud-thud", fearing that those expensive plates can fall 5 floors down. If my wife was born a few decades back, Satyajit Ray would have been very proud of her.I look at her with admiration.
My wife takes like thousand pictures. In between she downloads them on her laptop and edits them.Too much work she does.
I know the kids will soon ask for dinner. So, I start getting dinner ready, I wash the rice and the lentils and then put them in the pressure cooker. I chop onions, peeling their magenta skin carefully and then slicing my knife through them. I like cooking our meals, it gives me a lot of satisfaction to see the kid's happy faces as they enjoy my chicken curry.
My wife used to cook before, 'before" as in before she became a Food Blogger. She would make charchari, jhinge posto, tyangra maacher jhaal. But now she only makes things we cannot even pronounce well. She says they picture better.Also everyone makes dal, shukto and chicken curry. What is so great about that ? It is all your middle class Bengali upbringing, she scorns.
All is well, I think. If she started taking pictures of our everyday food, we would never get to eat anyway. And anyway everyday she is so busy, where is time to cook ? In between Twitter, Facebook and her blog she can only make those things that she can blog about no ? Let her make creme fraiche and pour billows of shaving foam on it to make it look better. Who cares ? I am feeding the family, no. I am liking it also, so what is your problem ? Everyone cannot be a Food Blogger, can they ?
Only today I am late and don't have much time so I will make dal, rice and omelette. My wife likes omelettes with onion, green chili and tomatoes.I don't think she will eat the strawberry creme fraiche, what with the foam and the shriveled berries it might be actually poisonous. Tomorrow she can write how decadent and delicious it was, how her family enjoyed it and post pretty pictures of them with candlesticks around.
This is my entry for Of Chalks and ChopSticks, a food Fiction event started by Aqua last year. After a period of dormancy it is hosted this time by Sra. This time Desi Soccer Mom suggested there should be a photo cue and the picture Sra had showed a camera, some strawberries and a man's hand holding the camera.
Since I generally like to do timepass, I enjoyed writing a food fiction after a long time.Any resemblance to people in real life is totally unintentional.
Omelettes are my all time favorite food. I can write lengthy paeans on it. If I did not have kids and did not have to blog, I could survive on Omelette alone. Toast & Omelette for breakfast, rice-butter and omelette for lunch, Roti rwapped around an omelette for dinner. Perfect, happy life and then came the vegetables and spoiled it all. Arrrrrrrgh.
To make an omelette like ours, crack an egg into a bowl. Add 1 tbsp of Milk. Beat with a fork till frothy. Add chopped onions, chopped green chili and chopped tomatoes. Add salt to taste. Mix. Heat Oil on a fry pan. Pour the pale yellow egg mixture and swirl the pan around a little, so the egg mixture makes a circle. At low heat cook till the omelette looks flippable(check the edges, should look done). Slide a spatula gently under the cooked side and flip. Cook the omelette on the other side.

WASHINGTON — Would-be home sellers across the country are grappling with a once-in-a-lifetime problem: They have mortgage rates so absurdly low it would hurt them financially to sell.
Doing so would mean giving up an irresistible rate in exchange for a new mortgage carrying a rate up to a percentage point higher. Their monthly payments would be larger even for a house of the same price. That's discouraging some people from selling, thereby limiting the supply of available homes and contributing to slower home sales.
It's a significant shift from the way the U.S. housing market has worked for the past 30 years. For most of that time, whenever a homeowner decided to trade up to a better home, mortgage rates usually were lower than the last time they had bought. That helped make a new purchase seem more attractive.
But that is changing. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell below 4 percent in late 2011 and reached a record low level of 3.3 percent in November 2012. It didn't top 4 percent again until mid-2013. Homeowners took advantage of the lower rates and a refinancing boom ensued.
In this July 2, 2014 photo, Ryan Carson, right, cooks dinner with his wife, Jenny Roraback-Carson, left, and their daughter Clara, 3, at their home in Seattle. The Carsons are one of many would-be home sellers across the country who have mortgage rates so low, it doesn't make financial sense to sell their homes, even if they need more space, a trend which limits the supply of homes and can contribute to slower home sales. (Ted S. Warren/Associated Press)
More than one-third of homes with a mortgage now have rates below 4 percent, real estate data provider CoreLogic estimates. Yet mortgage rates now average 4.2 percent. That is still low by historical standards but up about three-quarters of a point from a year and a half ago. And should mortgage rates rise later this year and next, as many economists expect, even more homeowners will be affected.
As a result, many homeowners with low rates are staying put. Others are moving and buying new homes, but keeping their old ones and renting them. Both choices mean that fewer homes are listed for sale, which drives up prices. Higher prices and limited selection have put the brakes on a housing recovery that began in 2012.
And slower home sales, in turn, drag down economic growth. Fewer sales mean lower commissions for real estate agents. Sales of furniture, appliances and garden supplies also take a hit.
Mark Fleming, chief economist at CoreLogic, estimates that as many as 3.6 million homeowners are unlikely to sell this year because they would have to give up a lower rate.
"They got the deal of the century," says Glenn Kelman, CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin. "I don't think in 100 years anyone will be lending money at 3.5 percent. How do you walk away from a deal like that?"
You'd think Ryan Carson, an attorney in Seattle, would be ready to sell. He and his wife have one young child and they are expecting twins. They are going to hire a live-in nanny, which means there will be five people living in their four-bedroom house.
"I could probably use the extra space, honestly," he said. And he would make money off the sale, since his home's market value is above what he paid.
But Carson, 39, has a 30-year, 3.85 percent mortgage rate, so he isn't going anywhere. He refinanced into the lower rate last summer, reducing his monthly payment to $2,200 from $2,600. "I have no interest right now in selling," he said. He and his wife plan to remodel instead.
A shortage of homes for sale has plagued the housing market since late 2012. The number of available homes last year was the equivalent of just 4.9 months' worth of sales, according to the National Association of Realtors. That's far below the typical figure of 6 months. Inventory has recovered somewhat this year, partly because the spring buying season is underway, but it was still equal to just 5.6 months of supply in May.
Meanwhile, sales of existing homes have fallen 5 percent in the past year. Yet prices rose 8.8 percent nationwide during the same period, according to CoreLogic, partly because of the limited supply.
What economists call "rate lock-in" is one of several reasons so few houses are for sale. Another factor is that almost 40 percent of homeowners still don't have enough equity to enable them to sell. Some are "underwater," with a mortgage higher than the home's value. Others may have so little equity that they can't afford to pay off the sales costs and put a down payment on their next property.
"We are in a uniquely difficult period for matching buyers and sellers," says Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate data provider Zillow.
Home prices are expected to keep rising in the coming months, though at a slower pace than the double-digit gains that occurred earlier this year. Higher prices should lower the number of underwater homes and enable more people to sell.
But as the number of underwater homes falls, several studies suggest the impact could be offset by higher mortgage rates, which would increase the number of homeowners facing interest rate "lock-in." Most economists expect mortgage rates to rise later this year as the Federal Reserve ends its bond-purchase program, which is intended to keep borrowing rates low.
"Mortgage rate lock-in is going to be a major challenge for the housing market going forward," Humphries said. "It is going to be a constant tug of war between buyers on one side … and mortgage rate lock-in on the other side."
Humphries forecasts that rates will reach 5 percent by the first three months of next year. That would mean those buying or refinancing now, at the current rates of about 4.1 percent, might never want to sell either.
A 2011 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concluded that for every $1,000 increase in a homeowner's annual mortgage payment, the likelihood that homeowner would sell fell as much as 16 percent.
Paul Bernard, a recruiter in New York City, says the issue has begun to interfere with some of his clients' willingness to move for a new job. In one recent case, an employee at a large technology firm decided to postpone a job-related move to San Francisco partly because it would have forced him to take out a mortgage at a half-percentage point higher than his current one.
"The job market in some cases is less mobile than it used to be," he said.
Low rates have combined with rising rents nationwide to make renting out a home, rather than selling, more attractive. A rental index compiled by Zillow has risen 19 percent in the past year.
Santiago Garcia, 30, and his wife both work from home and recently felt their 2-bedroom condominium was getting cramped. The couple was also thinking of starting a family. So in February they bought a new home in Oxford, Massachusetts, about 45 minutes from Boston.
But the mortgage rate on their condo is just 2.95 percent, so they decided to keep it and rent it out. The mortgage is so low because its rate is adjustable after 10 years. Their monthly mortgage payment is only $540. But they are renting it out for $1,200 a month. "The cash flow was so much, it was an easy decision," Garcia said.

From New Mexico to New York, 10 state university systems have announced they are joining the ranks of elite institutions embracing the massive open online course, or MOOC, system.
On Thursday, they unveiled a landmark partnership with Coursera, a for-profit tech company with 3.5 million registered students. It's the biggest effort to catapult degree-granting institutions into the world of global education.
The state universities of Tennessee, Georgia, Colorado, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Mexico, West Virginia and New York and the Houston University System are taking the plunge to offer online courses to students across the globe for free.
Most of them already offer a catalog of courses online, which Coursera will format into modules for a fee of $3,000 to $5,000 each. That breaks down to between $30 and $60 per student, a fraction of what it costs to develop and deliver a traditional course.
For schools responding to tight budgets, it is an opportunity to save money and cut costs. Rich Rhoda, the executive director of Tennessee's Higher Education Commission, says this experiment stems from the economic realities of higher education, but brick-and-mortar campuses are here to stay.
"This is going to transform the way that we teach on college campuses; it is not going to substitute for it," says Daphne Koller, Coursera's co-founder and a computer science professor at Stanford University.
If the experiment works, students could earn a degree more quickly and more cheaply either entirely online or as part of a regular course of study. Institutions will be able to showcase their top professors and connect students to professors at other schools.
Critics of the online courses aren't sure MOOCs can do what their backers hope.
"Whether it costs a little less or a little more, I would not want my child's education to be an experiment," says Eileen Landy, a sociology professor at the State University of New York, Old Westbury. She is with the union that represents the 35,000 faculty members in the SUNY system.
"We know MOOCs have about an average of 10 percent completion rate and that's among very highly motivated students," Landy says. "If you target MOOCs for incoming students, students who need remediation, the chances are we'll lose them."
Faculty at a growing number of institutions have raised similar concerns, but Nancy Zimpher, the chancellor of the SUNY system, says the goal is to help students across the system's 64 campuses complete their degrees. "Since we have so many people who need what we offer, why not enhance access and completion through this vehicle as well?"
Koller says the deal marks the changing landscape of higher education. She hopes it will serve as a model for what she calls Coursera's social mission, working with countries around the world where people have no access to higher education. "You can basically change lives by giving people an opportunity that they never had before," Koller says.
Houston Davis is chief academic officer and vice chancellor with the university system of Georgia, one of the organizations included in the deal. He says Georgia's 31 state colleges and universities will be working with Coursera to improve quality and access, while raising college competition rates.
"I don't think anyone should see it as a magic pill," Davis says. "This has to be about high-quality teaching and learning opportunities at an affordable price for students."

Hard News: When "common sense" isn't
426 Responses

The problem there is that making flouro a condition of getting on a bike at any time provides a significant disincentive to cycling -- more so than compulsory helmets.
And given that the introduction of helmets corresponded to a massive decline in cycle usage here and in many other places, and that low numbers cycling is a major risk factor, it's really silly to make mandatory yet another thing that will stop people getting on bikes.
I was wearing my bright fluro yellow riding shirt this morning. For some reason the power of hi-vis didn't stop this bus from running a red light in front of myself and a bunch of kids:

Ben Gracewood, in reply to

Yup. It's only my second commute with the camera. I'm making it a permanent fixture from now on.
As a cyclist (well, a newly reborn one after about twenty years of not getting on a bike), I'm really curious about the psychology of people not wanting to wear helmets whilst riding. I know a fair number of cyclists who wear helmets but complain about it whilst I, on the other hand, won't get on a bike without one because I'm petrified about damaging my brainmeats.
I'm also not agin the idea of wearing hi-viz material whilst riding; I don't at the moment because I've not yet procured any (which is why I'm wary of riding at night, even with lights on my bike) but I can see that the high-viz recommendation seems to have an element of blaming the rider, rather than the appalling driving standards of most New Zealanders.
Given that the coroner in this case took it on himself to produce this wider report, attention to actual evidence and transport safety expertise does not seem too much to expect. The resulting media coverage just compounded the ignorance.

Dash cams: the new Twitter in getting us instant news.
Interesting link Lucy gives that suggests the more professional the vehicle driver, the less safety margin they leave, based on actual studies done. I had subjectively felt that this was the case, but couldn't be sure since a big noisy thing next to you does feel closer.

I'm happy with a helmet, although I do feel a certain freedom on the odd occasion when I go without. But wearing a sodding hi-viz vest everywhere? No. That would be highly impractical. I think there are better things I can do to be visible than that.
BenWilson, in reply to
Nice idea. Why don't you mount it on the handlebars, though?
As a non-cyclist (well since being a teenager) I don't see what the fuss with wearing a helmet is?
Thanks Russell for again remaining calm in a way I just can't.
First off, I'm having big trouble on a Monday morning parsing this case: Guy asks to be let off after pretty much trying to kill someone wearing hi-viz on a bike .
Seems wearing hi-viz simply makes you responsible for getting the fuck out of the way once someone has seen you.
This comes on top of the coroner's report, thanks to which I've had a fight with my darling about whether I will be allowed to ride the 2.9km to work from Westmere to Freemans Bay without dressing like a Christmas tree.
It's times like these I really, really get close to defaulting to driving. We're fighting hard at Cycle Action , and we're getting some wins, but still there's something odd about the undercurrent in our country.
In a sick way it reminds me of living in Singapore, where the only people on bikes on the roads were pretty much 75-year-old coolies or 20-year-old Bangladeshi construction workers who lived – I shit you not – in shipping containers in the bushes. Both were seen as entirely dispensable, and the main reason not to hit them was the inconvenience of repairing paintwork in the tropics.
And with a big, fat, le sigh, I'm off to pick up my sweetheart not-yet-five-year-old from kindy, on my bike. Hope I make it.
Ben Gracewood, in reply to
Having the bike and controls in view is useful when reviewing footage (seeing braking points etc). Makes for a more interesting video :)
Felix Marwick, in reply to
Trust me Blair you'll appreciate wearing one if you hit the road. I had an off last December. At the time I didn't think my head hit the road that hard. However, when I checked the helmet 6 weeks later I got a hell of a a surprise to find a whacking great crack right through it.
I shudder to think what might have happened if I hadn't been wearing my lid.
Oh and I was wearing hi-vis when the above happened
The report's an odd mix of solid effort and "surely, this must be the case". The coroner specifically went out to the site of the crash and inspected the changes made to the intersection. He wasn't impressed, and has good reasons for that – he specifically states that the solution "degenerates in terms of its quality and connectedness and is therefore unattractive for cyclists to use". So here he went out and physically inspected the site, including investigating wear patterns on road markings (to indicate how much traffic is cutting across the side of the road). That's not an inconsiderable effort, and this is reflected in the recommendations he makes here: sensible, measured, and basic in a realistic appraisal of human behaviour (painting road marking doesn't magically prevent drives from drifting across them, a safer solution that drastically slows/inconveniences people will be ignored by many road users). Respect to the coroner for those sections.
Which is why the high-viz thing is a bit out of left field. He cites no evidence. The only people he talks to about it are basically noncomittal on its effectiveness or lack thereof. The only justification for his recommendation is that it's a "no brainer", that it "simply must be common sense". This does not ring like the words of someone who has considered the evidence, consulted experts, and reached a studied conclusion: it is a prejudged principle that the coroner came into this investigation which, and which he is levering into the discourse.
Personally: I wear high-viz when I think it's appropriate. This morning, I cycled to work wearing a gilet (the Ground Effect Vespa, buy NZ made!) in fluoro yellow. In winter, I wear a high-viz vest over my jersey – but that's mainly for the retro-reflective stripes rather than for the fluoro yellow. But I'd be firmly against being compelled to wear it. Yes, I think that under some circumstances it's a good idea; but I think that it'll strongly put off a lot of people who would otherwise start looking at cycling. The evidence is that the best safety improvement for cyclists is to have a lot more cyclists around, so that drivers start actively looking out for you; requiring everyone to lug around a waistcoat at all times is going to seriously disconcert the person casually considering dropping $400 on a bike to ride to the shops with.
Juha Saarinen, in reply to
It's hot in the summer, and musses up people's hair plus its yet another item to lug along on your commute. If you want to go for it at speed, sure, put on a helmet in case you crash. Otherwise, helmets should be optional to encourage people to go on bikes and reap the health benefits.
The problem here isn't cyclists and if you think a helmet will protect you against aggressive and careless drivers... that's just wishful thinking.
BenWilson, in reply to
I'm really curious about the psychology of people not wanting to wear helmets whilst riding.
Here's 7 reasons
1. It doesn't feel nice. The strap rubs, your head gets hot.
2. It mucks up your hair
3. It's another thing you have to carry around
4. It's another thing you have to lock up
5. It looks dorky
6. It costs money
7. It slows you down getting on and offI still wear one for most rides, though. There are a couple of advantages, beyond just pure safety:
1. It's got a visor to keep the sun out of my eyes.
2. It's something to attach a headlamp to.No. That would be highly impractical. I think there are better things I can do to be visible than that.
Yup. At night, flashing lights. During the day, it's mostly about how you behave. Ride big like you are actually a vehicle. Since that is the law on the matter, I have no qualms. It's funny, since I made this mental switch, I've not been shouted at by anyone. Maybe they sense something.
BlairMacca, in reply to
Oh you have misunderstood, I mean I can't see why people complain about Having to wear a helmet, completely agree that they are lifesavers, it seems stupid NOT to wear one

which is how both Stephen Fitzgerald and Jane Bishop died
Also likely what killed a lecturer in the school of dentistry down here last year - cycling on the one way north in the minuscule cycle lane, a parked car in front opened their door, he swerved to avoid and went under a truck. The truck driver didn't even know he'd hit someone until the police caught up with him at Waitati.
It's led to NZTA doing an audit on Dunedin cycleways (see here), but it's very much "what can we do quickly without spending any money, and then what can we do long term which will cost lots which we may get to eventually.
They're relaying the surface in the one ways in Dunedin and when they're repainting them they've widened the cycleway by about a foot and compressed the two lanes and car parks together a bit more, but it's not a problem of where the lines are, it's a problem of pretending that a cycle lane is safe by squeezing it in between parked cars and traffic, on an already narrow road. It's a pretty exciting ride in parts!
I submitted to NZTA that they needed to remove the parked cars on one side of one of the one ways from Gardens Shops to Queens Gardens to build a two way cycle way. Probably 250+ car parks. Can't see us caring enough about cyclists above the convenience of drivers having to walk for it to happen!
While it seems intuitively obvious that high-visibility clothing should make its wearer easier for vehicle operators, hunters, etc., to see and avoid, there are surprisingly few studies to quantify the effectiveness of high-visibility clothing for particular classes of users.
Wikipedia > High-visibility Clothing
This is part of the problem. It seems intuitively that high-vis should help, so there isn't actually much in the way of quantifiable study. One thing that page mentions is that movement draws the eye more than a static garment - so in terms of visibility, we might be better to concentrate on encouraging people to wear retro-reflective ankle bands or wrist bands.
HORansome, in reply to
That's my thought exactly; those don't seem like good reasons at all to not wear a helmet. Helmets give you a level of protection your skull does not natively have (seriously, head injuries are alarmingly easy to procure) and it's not just some added protection from being swiped by a car; people get injured on bikes all the time without the additional worry of car drivers.
BenWilson, in reply to
Having the bike and controls in view is useful when reviewing footage (seeing braking points etc). Makes for a more interesting video :)
True enough, although the bike frame does take up quite a lot of the most interesting part of the shot, and being lower down reduces what can be seen.
I have a piece of software on my phone that does this, keeps rolling footage. It also records all the GPS stuff too, so you get not only brake points, but all those other cool stats drivers want (speeds at all points, elevation, etc). It was designed for cars, but works fine on the bike. However, I don't have a decent mount for the phone, and TBH, when I did have a mount, the phone was dangerously distracting.
I do wonder if the very best place for a camera would be the helmet, though. I've seen a few people riding around with that.
