Camp Randall Stadium - University of Wisconsin
This panorama, taken by James Blakeway, spotlights a 'rockin' night at Camp Randall as the University of Wisconsin Badgers welcome Nebraska to their first game as a Big Ten member. This is the first meeting between the two teams since 1974 and the first clash of two top 10 teams at the stadium since 1962. The match-up generated unprecedented ticket demand and was the most sought after ticket of any game in the history of Wisconsin football. Founded in 1848, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is considered a 'Public Ivy' or a public institution offering an education comparable to the Ivy League with annual student enrollment exceeding 42,000.

IMLS Press Contacts
Kevin O'Connell, firstname.lastname@example.com
Mamie Bittner, email@example.com
Washington, DC—The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has released its report on the State Library Survey for fiscal year 2010. The data collected in this annual survey show that state library agencies' revenues fell by 24.1 percent in the previous decade and that reduction in staff has been one of the largest impacts of this shortfall. The agencies continue to provide essential services to libraries.
State libraries are instrumental in helping local libraries meet growing public demand for content and services. They provide leadership by establishing statewide plans for library services, investing in technology and content that can be used by libraries throughout the state, and providing support for local programming.
This report, which contains data on state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, marks the fifth release of library statistics data from IMLS. The data were collected through the State Library Agencies (StLA) Survey, the product of a cooperative effort between the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA), IMLS, and the U.S. Census Bureau. The FY2010 survey is the 17th in the StLA series.
Findings of the report include the following:
The purpose of the StLA Survey is to provide state and federal policymakers, researchers, and other interested users with descriptive information about state library agencies. The data collected are useful to (1) chief officers of state library agencies; (2) policymakers in the executive and legislative branches of federal and state governments; (3) government and library administrators at the federal, state, and local levels; (4) the American Library Association and its members or customers; (5) library and public policy researchers; and (6) the public, journalists, and others. Decision makers use these data to obtain information about services and fiscal practices.
About the Institute of Museum and Library Services
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. The Institute works at the national level and in coordination with state and local organizations to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge; enhance learning and innovation; and support professional development. To learn more about the Institute, please visit www.imls.gov.

Spotting Saturn's Northern Storm
Date: 24 Dec 2010
NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured this composite near-true-color view of a huge storm churning through the atmosphere in Saturn's northern hemisphere.
This storm is the largest and most intense observed on Saturn by NASA's Voyager or Cassini spacecraft. As scientists tracked this storm over several months, they have found it covers 500 times the area of the biggest of the southern hemisphere storms observed earlier in the Cassini mission. The shadow cast by Saturn's rings has a strong seasonal effect, and it is possible that the switch to powerful storms now being located in the northern hemisphere is related to the change of seasons after the planet's August 2009 equinox.
In an image captured 5 Dec. 2010, scientists saw a small white spot with a size of about 800 miles (1,300 km) north-to-south and 1,600 miles (2,500 km) east-to-west. In this view, taken on 24 Dec.2010, the storm has grown to a north-to-south, or latitudinal, extent of about 6,000 miles (10,000 km) three weeks after the storm started. The main part of the storm has an east-to-west, or longitudinal, extent of about 11,000 miles (17,000 km) in this view. Other images taken at the same time show the tail extending almost one-third of the way around the planet -- a distance of 62,000 miles (100,000 km).
This view looks toward the southern, unilluminated side of the rings from just below the ring plane.

Fidelity Bank
Known for having the best customer service in town, Fidelity is quickly growing into Atlanta's largest community bank. To accommodate this expansion, Kellen Digital created a new and improved, "next-level" Website to stand head and shoulders above the competition.
Georgia Natural Gas
Georgia Natural Gas (GNG) – the first and only marketer in Georgia that sold recycled natural gas – teamed up with Honda – the first automaker to build a consumer production car to run on natural gas – as part of GNG's recycled gas and the environment initiative. The Honda Civic GX NGV (natural gas vehicle) and the accompanying home fueling station was the prize in a GNG sweepstakes where visitors were given the chance to enter to win by playing games online at www.onlygng.com.
Matrix Awards
Each year, New York Women in Communications presents Matrix Awards to an "A list" of accomplished women in the field of communications. The awards are presented at a gala luncheon in the Waldorf=Astoria before a crowd of 1,200 guests who range from broadcast network CEOS to up-and-coming communications professionals. The 2012 Matrix Awards Gala was a star-studded event featuring headliners Tyra Banks, Glenn Close, Katie Couric, Ann Curry, Peggy Noonan, Meredith Vieira, Barbara Walters and other media industry powerhouses.
Sweet 'n Low
Cumberland Packing Corporation, the maker of Sweet'N Low, wanted to reignite this iconic American brand and engage younger adults, particularly women, while continuing to build upon their current consumer demographic that skewed older, Kellen Communications chose to develop a fitting partnership and sweepstake.
Coca-Cola came to Kellen with a new product, a diet soda with fiber. They needed to conduct a study to prove the viability of the drink to help promote weight-loss. Coca-Cola already had a working relationship with Kellen, via their membership in the Calorie Control Council (CCC). They approached Kellen because part of the study had an online weight loss component and they were in need of a more robust weight recording system than CalorieCount.com, a CCC owned website. They also felt the health diet and exercise content on that site would be beneficial to their study groups.
Ohio Natural Gas
Ohio Natural Gas (ONG) teamed up with The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to launch the state-of-the-art Foster Theater, with the screening of the first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production film, starring the band U2 (called U23D). They needed to create visibility and brand recognition for ONG via their website.
National Pasta Association
Kellen expanded its existing "Pasta Fits" program for the National Pasta Association by creating an aggressive social media strategy, focusing on mobile users, and improving user experience across all digital platforms.

Step 1: Materials Required
Hammer, 4 ft Level
Clam shell shovel or post hole auger
Powered hand drill (I used a 1/2" hammer drill.)
Hand Circular saw (mine is a 7-1/4".
Showel and Wheelbarrow
String and chalk
Your skill set is that of a man or woman handy Person
(ie fearless and willing to make mistakes, Measure twice-cut once person)
How about measure once, fall off ladder, get someone else to do it !! :-) Nice gazebo
Hi, thanks for your comment. The cost was about 1/5 of the cost of getting someone else to do it, and besides, I'm cheap
Since the brick is very roughly textured, I am HOPING that sufficient air flow has taken place to prevent spalling on the brick. There is certainly not a 1" gap, more like 1/4".
If damage has occured, or even shows a possibility, I can pull the ledger board
and take your suggestion. The deck is very sturdy as a free standing structure, and since all parts are screwed together, I can disassemble the areas adjacent to the ledger board very readily for any changes required. It was built in 2005, so any incipient damage will be fairly obvious.
Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback.
I recently discovered an unexpected benefit to building decks as free standing structures. Someone was backing a truck up to a deck that I built several years ago and accidentally hit the deck. Instead of doing a bunch of damage to the house the deck just moved off the concrete weirs that it was on. I was called to fix it and all we did was come with a bunch of guys and just put it back!
Most "professionals" will say I am wrong, that you should use flashing and caulking to keep the ledger board dry but omitting it is easier and more effective as caulking and flashing always fail on level surfaces like decks.
Beautiful pogoda btw... thank you for sharing.
Otherwise WONDERFUL instructable, with detailed instructions and photos.
Great Job
Should I be living in a heavy snow area, the design would have reflected the realities of the environment. I am sorry if I gave the impression that my design would apply to any and all jurisdictions; in fact I didn't think the instructable had to do so. Why not redesign my approach to show how it should have been built in your jurisdiction?
Thanks for your question

Chad henne was much better when he had Lee, so much so that the majority of this board was convinced he was going to be a very good starter in this league.
Did you notice how much worse Henne was in 2011 than he was in '09 & '10?
we could hire Vince Lombardi and he'd say it was a bad move.
Too funny... Henne was best this past season away from Henning and Daboll, and played at a level in Jacksonville the jest fans would have loved to see from Sanchez. Henne didn't regress when Lee left, he played at basically the same better than sanchez but worse than average level as before. However, if you wanna make a case that he played worse which is incorrect, it would be because he was now executing Daboll's offensive playcalling, not Henning's. Fitz was better pre-Lee period!!!
It's predictable that the biggest homer on the most homerisitc jest board and spin meister here, would automatically defend the hire of someone who was kicked to the curb twice in 2 years because the jest never can do wrong from his homer view perpsective. When was the last time our Resident Troll criticized anything jets???
Junk with his 23thousand lastworditis OCD posts talks about others being obsessed. I don't see any enemy fans on TGG or JI with even a few thousand posts let alone tens of thousands. When our kicker gifted the game to the jest, it was junk who flitted around from FH forum to forum with close to 200 posts in less than 48 hours trying to crowbar in his lastworditis spin to counter the realities being observed.
For this OCD walking petri dish of dysfunctionality to label anyone else "obsessed" is as patently absurd as his accusations of "whining" when I know for a fact that's what he does here behind the scenes to a point of distraction. Too ****ing funny. Is anyone surprised he'd stick up for Lee when we all know that he'd have plenty of criticism if it had been us who just hired a failure like that.
you just don't have any idea what you are talking about, i'm sure you saw the Texans highlights and base your opinions on that.
Go ahead and prorate his numbers in 2011 and compare to 2009-10
Prorating his 2011 #s he would have had 16 TDs, 16 INTs, 54%, 3472 yds, 0-16 record
too funny.. the jest homer telling us about Henne using fantasy pro-rata numbers and invoking the same kind of "garbage time" puffery he refuses to acknowledge from Taco.... to spin his angle that Lee wasn't as awful as we know him to be.. but refusing to listen to any of our objective criticism of Sanchez, statistically the worst 4 year starting QB since JaMarcus.
You can't make this **** up.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Michael Bourn hit the go-ahead single in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Cleveland Indians snapped a six-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the finale of a three-game set.
The Indians were down 5-4 entering the inning, but Carlos Santana led off by hammering a home run off J.C. Gutierrez (0-3) to tie the game.
Lonnie Chisenhall later drew a one-out walk and Drew Stubbs singled up the middle before Gutierrez was replaced by Nick Maronde. Bourn's base hit to left scored Chisenhall and gave the Indians the lead for good.
"I can't really explain it to you," said Bourn. "We just never gave up within the game. We were able to get something started in the sixth inning ... and right there, I think we knew we were back in the game. Carlos came up and tied it back up again and then I was able to get a hit to give us the lead."
Matt Albers (3-1) pitched 1 2/3 perfect innings of relief to pick up the win and Chris Perez threw a 1-2-3 ninth to notch his 18th save. Justin Masterson got the start for Cleveland but struggled, surrendering five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings.
Angels starter Jerome Williams allowed four runs and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old right-hander has not won since June 12 against the Orioles. Since that game, he has lost six of 10 starts and his ERA has ballooned from 3.15 to 4.85.
Mike Trout drove in two runs for the Angels, while Grant Green had a pair of hits and scored twice in the setback.
"We scored five but we had opportunities, RBI situations we didn't pick up," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "And that obviously, comes back to haunt you."
Williams had a one-hit shutout through the first five innings while pitching to a 5-0 lead, but met trouble in the sixth. After striking out Chisenhall and Stubbs, he gave up a single to Bourn before Nick Swisher homered to left center.
Following Jason Kipnis' walk, Mike Aviles, who replaced Asdrubal Cabrera after he was ejected for arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire in the second, smashed an 0-1 pitch to left to bring the Indians within one.
The Angels scored two runs in each of the first two innings.
In the first, Kole Calhoun and Trout were walked with one out. Josh Hamilton knocked an RBI single to left center and Mark Trumbo's grounder to second scored Trout.
Trout delivered a two-RBI single to center in the second to give them a 4-0 lead.
Los Angeles tacked on another run in the fourth. Green hit an infield single and reached second after Aviles' throw to first was off the mark. Two batters later, Calhoun scored him with a single to left.
The Indians are 293-317 against the Angels all-time but are 44-39 at
Progressive Field ... Masterson entered the game 3-0 with a 2.10 ERA in 10
career appearances (seven starts) against the Angels ... The Angels have not
swept a series against the Indians since Sept. 3-5, 2004 ... Trout has six RBI
over his last seven games and has scored nine times in eight games. He has
also reached base safely (via a hit, walk or hit-by-pitch) in each of his last
33 games. Over eight seasons, only two Angels players have had a longer
streak. Erick Aybar had a 36-game streak in 2011 and Chone Figgins had a 35-
game streak in 2007 ... Aybar and Chris Nelson executed a double steal with
one out in the fifth.

What makes "education" TED's most popular topic?
Is the TED community imposing their beliefs upon the website visitors? Are users applying the "education" tag to their conversations in the most visited section for exposure? How do you prefer to be "educated"? What is the best way to acquire, retain, and recall information? Do we need degrees, certificates, or peer validation to be effective teachers?
Andy Brice
Dec 11 2013: Perhaps simply because people are drawn to TED by an interest in educating themselves, and therefore are also interested in how others may access education.
- +4
Dec 11 2013: Are people more interested in educating themselves or learning?
Dec 11 2013: How would you define the difference? I think of them as the same thing.
Dec 12 2013: As the world becomes more interconnected our defintiions for words may become topics for debate. The words "educating" and "learning" clearly have different meanings but are often used synonymously. The difference between the two I would like to identify is that of connotation.Dec 12 2013: John,
In my opinion, Education is not to be seen as a process but as an attitude. That makes it more personal. Education can happen anywhere and at anytime. It may or may not require a teacher/tutor/Educator. People learn when they want to. It is the learner that is important. So Education comes from within and is hence most popular.Dec 11 2013: Hi John:>)
In my perception, presenters, anyone who reads comments, contributes to comments, or watches the videos, is part of the TED community. I believe we are all students and teachers in this earth school, so in one way or another, there is an opportunity for education in each and every conversation and interaction. My personal preference is education with participation:>)Dec 16 2013: I think in this case it's really just a matter of TED being a site about knowledge and learning. It makes sense that the topic of education would be prominently featured.
Dec 16 2013: TED is about " ideas worth spreading" - Education, learning, teaching , guiding and inspiring... well if not for that then why even think, question, create or ask ?
wayne uejio
Dec 12 2013: John,

You asked a lot of questions.
1. education is something everyone has an opinion whether we are informed/uninformed. We have our experience and our children's experience. Most people also think education is important.
2. I do not think TED is imposing their beliefs. The opinions are expressed and people can accept or reject them. Some posters are adamant about their opinions.
3. I do not think the education is overused. It seems it is part of the topic.
4. I learn by experience, reading, watching.
5. I put everything into my lab books including stupid ideas.
6. No, a great teacher has some training but is born with the talent. An effective teacher, who is not great, needs training (class mgmt) and most important student reviews, not necessarily peer review.Dec 11 2013: curiosity and interest. if i'm curious and i'm interested i will learn what it is i want to know. if not, i won't.
ask people what kind of learner they are and most will say 'i'm a visual learner'. it's no surprise considering how long we've all been gawking at screens. the point is that the best way to acquire, retain and recall information is different for different people. i have a facility with language and rhythm - used in combination, i find it very quick and easy to absorb and recall information.
as far as teaching goes, experience trumps all training/degrees.
peer validation should be rewritten as peer support and that becomes an integral part of teaching, especially for beginning teachers.Dec 11 2013: John, There is no definitive answer to your poser. Just the term education would mean different things to different people and would be argued over for a long time.
Would you accept that "education", by all definitions, is a "common" element throughout all the world. That we have all, to greater or lessor extents, experienced some fashion of "education" and that we have concerns for the following generations and want them to prosper by providing them with the tools (education) to achieve.
I do not think the TED community has "imposed" any beliefs. We have discussed and presented views. Accept them or reject them is your option.
TED offers the common person the ability to hear, see, and discuss options from around the world ... not all ideas or practices are applicable to another areas, regions, or countries. But the exposure generates thoughts of how to amend, adapt, or overcome the issues to strengthen our own systems.
Now John, what is the reason you asked the question .... and what is the answer to your question?
Regards ..... Bob.
John Gianino
Dec 11 2013: Have a read Bob ;)

Dec 12 2013: John, I read the article. I also looked up "Cracked" and it is call America's only humor site. The magazine begin in 1958 in the wake of many who followed "Mad" into production.
I have never had anyone refer me to Mad or Cracked as a serious reference. Was this tongue in cheek.
If not what is the relationship to Cracked and TED What would that have to do with Education being a popular subject in TED conversations.
Help me to understand. Was my reply off base with what you are looking for? Did I misunderstand your question?
Thanks for the reply .... Bob.
Dec 16 2013: Hi, Robert. As you have received no reply as yet from John to clarify his post four days ago to you and as the conversation will soon close, let me say I interpreted his link not at all as a reference to you but rather as an answer to your question to him- "Now John, what is the reason you asked the question...?
My guess on reading his response to you was that he was thinking about how people can come to misconceptions about history (or potentially other subjects) because of, or in spite of, their schooling.
Many people take interest in schooling, or in how people come to believe what they believe, because of the untapped potential they see in schooling or the potential of ancillary ways of filling the gaps in understanding or correcting commonly held misconceptions we see around us.
This is only my tentative interpretation of that reply. I hope John will return to clarify his intended meaning.

Dec 11 2013: "Is the TED community imposing their beliefs upon the website visitors?"
- +2
What do you mean ? The TED community are all of us who in one way or another contribute. This includes you and me as well.
As to education being the most popular topic on TED: why do you say that ? I didn't count how many education related topics are, but it doesn't strike me as being them the most popular.
If they were, it would make sense though because education is one of the fundamental pillars of a successful society.
"What is the best way to acquire, retain, and recall information?" Whatever works best for you. There is no rule. Everybody is different.
"Do we need degrees, certificates, or peer validation to be effective teachers?" I don't think so, but at least for now, companies and society in general expects you to show your credentials before listening to you.
Dec 11 2013: beliefs- Many individuals reply to conversations using personal pronouns (myself included ;-). Frequent use of personal pronouns shows focus on personal interests, beliefs, and preconceived notions.
popular- The "popular topics" section to our left is a text cloud displaying the most used topics illustrated with size, and boldness for frequency.
Info- We are human beings with universal simularities. There should be a best way, not a rule to limit us.
creditials- This may be a reason for capitalism over learning.
Dec 11 2013: As to the first paragraph, the part I didn't understand is where the differentiation between TED community and TED visitors comes from. So who is imposing beliefs on whom ?
OK, got why you meant when you referred to education as most popular topic. The cloud doesn't necessarily refer to the topics but to the term "education" appearing somewhere in the text of any topic.
Info: I'm not sure there is a universal best way. For me doing it, is the best way to learn something. For example, I best learn a new computer software by playing around with it instead of reading manuals. Second best is visual. The more pictures and graphs I have to complement a text, the better I retain the information. But then, that's me, other people might work differently.
"This may be a reason for capitalism over learning." How do you relate capitalism to learning ?
Dec 11 2013: imposing- The TED community members register on the website and posts conversations. A visitor may be any individual that reads a conversation. When we focus our attention on a conversation, we are engaging it. Our beliefs may be part of our writing, hense influencing or imposing our beliefs on an audience. My intension was not to debate the concept but rather illuminate the perspective that our passionate writing may intensely impact an audience. example: A community member may debate an issue which is a form or pressure to convert to a particular belief.
capitalism/learning- currently our educational institutions are functioning for economic purposes. Why do we "aquire" knowledge?
Harald Jezek
Dec 11 2013: The TED community certainly doesn't impose anything on anybody because everybody is free to choose how he wants to engage on TED.
- +1
That certain comments/conversations might influence people in one way or another is a different story, but there is nothing wrong with that.
"ducational institutions are functioning for economic purposes."
What do you mean ? That they try to make money or that they produce people who want to make moneyDec 16 2013: Education is one of the most popular topics worldwide.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" – Nelson Mandela.
South Africa is a current, good example on how lack of education can have a detrimental effect on people and their day to day existence. Mandela whom was well educated in the common term of the word talks about experiencing different forms of education ( learning at the same time ) while in prison for 27 years and then becomes a role model , educator and a changing force that inspires a great change in a his country.
The need to educate, learn, communicate and experience is part of the human DNA. The advantage of education also allows the individual to accept or reject the "teaching" and allows them to form their own thought or idea.
Without education we would live in Aldous Huxley's – Brave New World and this would be the most boring life.
Therefore education and it's different dimensions will probably always be one of the hot topicsDec 15 2013: Recognized importance, dissatisfaction with the status quo, and belief in our ability to make suggestions that would improve education in general.Dec 15 2013: Education is the origin of the future society. If you know how to teach essential subjects and values to the children, I think that you can help them and prepare them to their life. Our children will be confront with problems that we may not know today (in addition of environmental problems and economical crisis). Faced with this situation, they will have to react and find new ideas. So who isn't interested by the future ? I am convinced that it is for this reason that education is one of the most popular topic, on TED's website and in politics too.Dec 13 2013: Education as a process is and needs to be structured to make sense. However Education as an outcome is purely personal. So, if even if there are tutors/mothers or others, Education may continue to be a concern in certain neurological conditions. So Education also needs a physical base for the process to take place. A precursor to education is that all neurological conditions exist the right way,enabling the person to learn. On this foundation, the desire to learn is built. where upon it is an attitude.
TED like any other channel is expressing its views. People can choose to be either influenced or not. Our preference for a manner of education is one of choice. So degrees, certificates or peers may validate the knowledge but ultimately the teacher needs to be accepted as such. Atleast that is the case in case of Adult Education. Learning in adults cannot be directed, it can only be guided based on individual choices. The focus in education is not the teacher, but the learner. Guess, that needs to be the order of the day in education , be it Adult or the child.

Carl John
Dec 12 2013: most of us come to TED for something that we'r curious and want to know more about it. ,That activity belongs to learning stuff by itself.Hence, It's easy to struck a chord. But this phenomemon wouldn't keep for long time until intead by another hot-spot question which cause more curiosity.

greg dahlen
Dec 11 2013: It's an excellent question, John. What do you think is the answer?
- +1
I would think part of it is that to participate on the TED website you probably have to be educated. First off, you would have to have a computer and know how to use it, which probably means you're educated. Then education would help you in following the talks, or participating in the conversations. Someone who is interested in the talks and conversations is probably partly so because they want to learn, and people who want to learn are interested in education?
Then I guess education is an important experience. It starts young, and the skills you get you use to some degree the rest of your life. And school is a place where you can differentiate yourself and express who you are, you can be a very hard-working student or a lazy one or in-between, you can choose the subjects you want to emphasize.
I would say talking about education doesn't have to be as political as other topics, it can be a little more purely intellectual, this factor might be attractive.
I don't understand your question "Is the TED community imposing their beliefs upon the website visitors?" Do you mean is the TED organization imposing their beliefs on the TED community?
Dec 11 2013: Education is more structured learning. Is educating an individual a voluntary task?
Dec 11 2013: sorry, John, I'm not sure what the question is asking, could you elaborate? If I take your words literally, I could think of a tutor who gets paid to educate an individual, but I wouldn't think that's what you mean......
Dec 11 2013: How often do people voluntarly seek out educators? Tutors, teachers, textbooks, etc are for the most part requirements of a system we are directed into by our cultures.
greg dahlen
Dec 12 2013: Well, in the U.S. a person has to go to school up until, what, the eighth grade? I'm not sure. After that, they can drop out? Most people at least finish high school. Many go on to college and university. I notice from your profile that you are in college currently? What is your motivation for being there?
- +1
Personally I am surprised that education is the biggest topic on TED. I slightly wonder if it is true. Maybe TED wants to push education, so they make it look like education is the biggest topic? You think it's true?
Julio Lara
Dec 11 2013: In my opinion, education is a prime topic in TED simply because the goal of the organization, as far as I understand, is the spreading of ideas with an intent to improve the life of individuals across the word and the communities where these ideas are implemented.
- +1
Without education is hard to come up with positive and achievable ideas and solutions to the obstacles we face. For this reason education and the improvment of the quality of life of people through the conception of innovating methods are simbiotic related.
Furthermore, it is only natural that people drawn by these ideas and the intent to improve their life and/ot their communities find themselves enjoying the new ideas and points of view from other individuals with similar (or even better, completley different) points of view.
Education is not something that you can get "too much", you cannot never be too educated or wake up some day and say "I'm done, I am as educated as I can/want to be".
I believe this is the reason why education is such a popular theme in TED, and that is ok for me. There are worse things to debate about.
Dec 11 2013: So, to clairfy in your opinion TED's organization slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading" means educating people?
Dec 12 2013: As far as I understand, the intent of TED is to serve as a meeting place for people with ideas that could bring some kind of development to their communities or the improvment of the quality of living of a group of people.
The ideas exposed in a place like TED can revolve around education, transport, technology or any field where a significant development could have a positive effect on a group of people. Education, however, is the prime topic to address when the improvment of a communitie (by communitie I mean an town, city, state, country or even a ethnic group) is needed and in many case a poor educational system or the wrong applied methods are the root of so many problems. Even when lack of education is not the direct problem, is hard to argue against it, as I said before, a better education is never a unwanted. This way, education is a safe bet as starting point to improve, and therefore, a popular topic.Dec 17 2013: I think the current legislation is out of control with the certificates and licenses. One comedian commented on the license for interior designers, this is clearly regulatory, which was developed to control competition, etc. The problem with certifications, and licensed is that it generates inequality. Things like the GRE, SAT's are money making scams, but once you run a scam for a while....it stays around...In any case, before this anthropology of occupation took hold I think that as Americas we could maintain balance to the conditions influencing freedom and equality. The issue of segregation of people based on occupation, certificates, licenses, rank, etc... is just old school Aristocracy in a new form. I know for instance there are thousands of Army medics getting out of the military and going into the civilian sector, many of which have had years of leadership, war time medical experience in trauma, illness, etc., absolutely zero reciprocity from he civilian agencies, or the National Registry. So, those medics can't work, because none of their military credentials are considered valid by civilian agencies. It is as if, our own military who were all trained at United States Military training center are foreigners. There is currently no legislation in effect to correct this issue, which means all of that medical knowledge and experience will be lost, just like in World War II when the medics got out and spread to the four winds, but back then, you didn't need a license...people just came and got you because you knew what to do, and people volunteered for civic responsibility without the risk of being sued or being treated with inequality because the staff at the hospital think that they are better human based on their role assigned to them by and institution, or just by themselves. (sorry about the rant)
The issue I think, to ask is " Is education an force of Inequality?"
all the best.Dec 17 2013: While I see "education" as connoting some kind of formalized structure or process requiring certification as validation of "learning" or the possessing of a body of knowledge, I prefer to see education as the result of making meaning. Rather than something that is done to you, or something that you possess, it is something you do for yourself, to yourself, with and from others. It is not an end product--i.e. I am "educated." It is an ongoing process, thankfully. It should be the most popular topic, because it's about active engagement with our perceptions of how things are, and how we may want them to be.Dec 16 2013: I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "Popular Topics" module on this website is always viewable in TED conversations and the topics are alphabetically listed. Interestingly, the list starts at "C".
Dec 17 2013: Might you be viewing the list on a tablet? Viewed on a laptop or desktop screen, the list begins at A with "A better world."
The new version of ted.com is optimized for tablets, I believe. The old version, which is what I use and likely you also, is better right now for TED Conversations in most respects but not as good for tablets.Dec 16 2013: I think the TED community recognise that education has the capability either to perpetuate or change future societies. Politicians know this, which is why education is currently 'joined at the hip' to politics. Some support that, others don't.
Politics abhors change. Students who are taught how to think (as opposed to what to think), on the other hand, would welcome dynamism in society and the need to veer away from the stagnation of political dogma and their prescriptive curricula.
Dec 16 2013: the question is, how to think or what to think..ooh and when to think ( according too many ).... Every human life form has a capacity to think, feel, experience and know in / on /at it's own time. When, where, why and how is up-to the individual.
But the Question - what makes education ( TED's most popular topic )
We are creatures of an inquisitive, thought provoking nature. And education from the baby that has been taught (educated ) to walk, talk, think to the Master in Neurology has one common ground.
Education either by school, life, love, nature, being or even pain.
As earlier mentioned education has many layers and what we each see, might just be a mirror of another in another state of mind .
Now, that's another topic- " what I see and feel, when another at the same place and time has a completely different experience ? "
Gord G
Dec 15 2013: Wow....so many questions.
- 0
1. The TED community is the website.
2. The tag is an indication of interest, not a definitive proclamation of an individual's desire to be seen.
3. My preference of education has always been open debate.
4. The best way ... relevance.
5. Ultimately...education is certification...so yes! (independent thinkers eventually require acceptance).Dec 14 2013: Education is a popular topic because people intuit that something about our current system is awry. Education is a gadfly prompting us to do better, a tooth that nibbles at the soul of the American nation. We need change.
We need a revolution in education, a re-visioning of the way we think about our teaching methodologies. In the 21st century our educational approach should be synthetic, incorporating "open" pedagogies that are holistic and encourage an awareness of the interconnectedness and simultaneity of ideas across domains, time, media, and disciplines. An overarching concept of our teaching should be "I link, therefore I am" (S. J. Singer, as quoted by Edward O. Wilson in Consilience). As educators, we need to help students synthesize what they are learning in all of their classes by linking ideas among subject areas. We also need to incorporate other non-traditional domains into the classroom experience (those from everyday life), so that students will make connections to "real-life" happenings that are occurring contemporaneously with their lessons. In doing so, themes, images, and ideas will achieve a resonance that is not possible by curriculums that are "closed"--restricted to one discipline, classroom, or setting. A synthetic learning experience reinforces content, encourages the sharing and development of ideas, and facilitates critical thinking skills. Learning is enhanced, especially the ability to synthesize information and make meaningful connections. Student metacognition increases as discussions of relevancy become par for the course, literally. Our students will become the innovative "creative creators." (Friedman, That Used to Be Us) that our globalized world demands.
James Mulhern, www.synthesizingeducation.netDec 12 2013: 18 hours ago: Education is more structured learning. Is educating an individual a voluntary task? Do you have a mother?Dec 12 2013: It is popular but not just in the formal way. It's not necessary for education to be placed just in educational institutions.
This popular form of education is based on the wish to reach some knowledge, it's inside inspired education. That's why the pedagogy is trying to research the "leisure time education", and to give some tips to do it the best, without any paper that "proves" your competences for something.Dec 12 2013: To me, in simplistic form, the mind is simply a sponge and without data (input) it will dry up, education isn't necessarily school books and degrees it begins at birth and carries on through life and can take many forms. It is a means by which ones life is altered moment by moment whether cognoscenti or not . What saddens me is that we have taken information and put a price on its retrieval in the form of books and literature and to a degree that is one of mankind's greatest failure.
What Ted Talks acknowledges for me is a person resilience to go forward with an idea which can then be used as a building block for future minds. It also shows that one does not need to be a professor or scholar to make great achievements in life, you just need the where withal to continue past failures in hopes of achieving proof of one belief.
I am thankful for this forum on which we all can share our views and Ted Talks is a wonderful stimuli for that. Thank you for a question of such,Dec 12 2013: because education is the basic of life.
only with education we can life in this worldDec 11 2013: Those who are not knowledgeable should learn and those who are knowledgeable should teach.
I believe our public schools are tasked by our society to take the uneducated young and give them the opportunity to acquire the knowledge to become fully functional educated adults. I am not talking about rocket surgery or brain science.
I am talking about young adults who can articulate their needs and wants, be able to achieve those needs and wants to the best of their ability and to understand how their society functions.
I see too many young people who have not achieved this level of knowledge and the public schools supposedly are the professionals. To blame economic status, family, social pressures for these failures may address levels of difficulty, but should not be excuses for failure by our public schools.

Dec 11 2013: John, you caught me...
I was responding to some comments I perceived as education coming out of formal schooling.
I think that you learn about touching hot stoves with failing to learn something other then you shouldn't touch hot stoves.
Old dogs don't learn many new things, we are still trying to assimilate all the knowledge we have gained in a meaningful way.Dec 11 2013: "Our only adversary is ignorance"- Keith W Henline
The only thing you need to be a good teacher is experience, unfortunately that is the missing requirement to be a teacher.
"Don't let schooling interfere with your education"- Mark Twain
"Information is not knowledge"- Einstein
Unfortunately information is what is taught in school, what needs to be taught is how to solve problems but you can't teach something you don't know.
"The only source of knowledge is experience"- Einstein
Dec 11 2013: Interesting way of teaching.
Dec 11 2013: My wife was washing dishes in the kitchen and while watching our daughter who was playing in the rain under the avocado tree. As she headed for a mud puddle my wife said to me "go get your daughter before she gets dirty". Have you ever noticed that when the kids are nice, it's our daughter but when the kids are not it's your daughter? Anyway, by the time I get out the door she has just sat down in a big puddle of mud so being the kind of dad I am I smiled and joined her. We made mud cakes and she put mud on my legs and I drew mud snakes on her arms. We splashed in the mud until we were both a dirty brown color. I could hear my wife laughing until she cried in the kitchen and then come out and turned the hose on both of us.
The point: Education comes from experience and all three of us learned many things from this experience without a single word being said. Things you will never find in a text book or on an exam even though they are the most important.Dec 11 2013: I just want to link http://ed.ted.com/
Dec 11 2013: I've taken some of the lessons on ed.ted.com I'm finding that multimedia is sometimes more cumbersome when searching for interesting bits of information then through books. I can flip through thousands of pages in a matter of seconds and discover something facinating.
Dec 15 2013: That is what I also do most of the time, but I think that is mostly good when you know what you're looking for, when you want to learn new stuff that others have deemed important, multimedia (such as TED Talks, TED-ed and all the good YT channels) is a good way to go about.Dec 16 2013: Oh and John, if you wish to have more in-depth, unmoderated conversations about TED you're welcome to join http://www.reddit.com/r/TEDconversationsDec 10 2013: I believe education is so topical on TED because it has been so badly done on the national public school level in the USA and there seems to be no relief in sight.

Jason Bennett stood before a crowd Monday night to offer a simple but clear rallying cry.
As a contentious levy debate effectively divides the Perkins Schools community, Bennett urged a group of passionate levy supporters to consider it a unifying matter.
"The only way we're moving forward is as a team, a community and as a cohesive school system," Bennett said. "Put any personal interests aside and do this for our students and our school district."
About 125 people gathered in the Perkins High School cafeteria for the kickoff meeting of Citizens for Perkins Schools, the district's newly formed levy committee.
The group includes parents, teachers, school officials and township residents, all volunteers aiming to promote the district's upcoming August levy.
The supporter turnout was at least 10 times that of the past levy campaign's turnout, district communications director Chris Gasteier said.
"I won't pass judgments as to why, because we're just happy to see them here," Gasteier said.
Perkins Schools is proposing a 10-year, 6.73-mill emergency operating levy on the August ballot, nearly 2 mills larger than a May proposal which voters overwhelmingly rejected. The levy would fund day-to-day operations for the district, including employee salaries and benefits.
Although the county auditor hasn't yet certified its official amount, superintendent Jim Gunner has said the levy will cost the owner of a $150,000 home an additional $310 in taxes per year.
Click here to get related news coverage, videos and photos.
This past week, board members approved about $2 million in district-wide reductions, including eliminating 15 staff members and hiking pay-to-participate fees to as much as $730 per sport for high school athletes. If voters approve the August levy, the cuts could be reversed and fees will return to normal.
Brandy Bennett, Citizens for Perkins Schools committee chair, organized Monday's crowd into focused subcommittees with Jason, her husband. In the next couple months, subcommittee leaders will oversee various levy campaign efforts, including distributing signs, collecting funds, visiting residents door-to-door and dispersing information online and in-person.
"Everyone here is very passionate and ready to commit to getting this levy passed," she said.
The group knows convincing a majority of township residents to vote in favor of the levy won't be an easy task. Voters haven't approved an emergency operating levy for the district since 2000, its only levy for new operating money in the past 18 years.
Still, the Bennetts are determined to do all they can to promote the cause. They moved to the area so their two children — now students at Perkins High School and Meadowlawn Intermediate School — could attend Perkins Schools. They don't want to see the district's stellar reputation marred by costly cuts, they said.
"There are still questions that need answered and still misinformation which we need to address," Jason said. "We're dedicated to doing it as a team. We're all pulling in the same direction."

text: On a side note I will say I watched that medical examiner's press conference live. I found him quite disturbing myself. To suggest he was an actor is however ridiculous. I chalked his demenor and behavior up to the fact that the man works as a medical examiner and I figure that a person must be somewhat odd to go into such a profession in the first place. Im sure however that not all medical examiners are as strange as that fellow, but Id bet there are plenty that are.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke
Leave Voice Mail for Fr. Z
Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

To many, learning is a drag. Studying is hard. School is boring. While I agree that there are times when the education experience becomes difficult to bear, it is still up to the individual to compel himself to make it through. Sure, an inspiring teacher or classmate would help; but what happens when the role model is not there to help you anymore? Will you be able to help yourself?
As a student organization leader, the eldest of five children, manager, business owner, and community leader, I have observed so many instances when a member of the group, family, or company becomes uninspired. And many times, I have been able to help these individuals. There are only a few times, however, where I have been unable to personally coach an individual to success. And for me to grow as a better coach…Continue

You notice how we ask ourselves, "How do we become the best?" Well, basically speaking, we strive to become one. It would take hard work and patience to earn that dignity and pride. I can say, I am the best in my own domain, but not just me. There are a lot of people who became the best in their own ways. I've had a lot of hardships along the way just to become the best. I remember my favorite quote in an animation film that I watched back in 2007, "Keep Moving Forward." You guys might be wondering why. Honestly, it is when you are facing challenges and dilemmas in your life, you just can't be all locked up in that nutshell. Always remind yourself to, "Keep Moving Forward." When I was a kid, I could remember that I'm the only child in our family who didn't speak English. That feeling when you are so…Continue

When I first went to the United States, I had difficulty speaking English. In fact, I didn't speak English very much. And the English I spoke, I spoke it with a horrible accent. At least my peers made me feel horrible. I didn't want to be made fun of by other kids, so I vowed to master English.
I read voraciously. I joined theater for four years. I joined debate and mock trial. I joined speech competitions. I joined everything I could get my hands on so that I could continue to polish my English and communication skills. In college I continued to debate and compete in speaking competitions. In…Continue

English and Empowerment. And the Million People March. How do these three ideas come together at The American Institute?
At The American Institute, we teach English and communication skills to empower the student. The student becomes more confident with a stronger, more opinionated, and have a more critical voice by building on his or her English and communication skills. In fact, the very reason why most of our students do not have great communication skills and are lacking confidence is because the taxpayers' money have not been put to proper use, such as in education.
So on August 26, 2013, some of us will go to Luneta Park to join the #MillionPeopleMarch to empower ourselves and lend our voice to those who cannot be heard: the poor, the needy, the impoverished, the sick, the disadvantaged, and the abused. …Continue

Several students who have fairly good English skills still would like to improve their English skills but they don't know how. There are, however, factual ways to progress your English skills. Every time a student asks me how they can improve their English, I provide them a few suggestions and always observe, after some time on, if they follow what I tell them, their English skills improve dramatically. So, if you too want to improve your English skills, follow these few tips and you'll be amazed at how quick you can learn more English.
The importance of the English language can't be overemphasized. Comfort and natural with English is more or less a qualification for an accomplishment in the world nowadays. In spite of of the industry, proficiency in English is an essential factor in both hiring and promotion decisions. A lot of us have studied English in school and are rather comfortable with reading and writing. On the other hand, we hesitate as speaking because we sense…Continue

When selecting a school, most students consider its location as an important factor in their decision. They certainly don't want to spend half their day commuting to a school located far. Some even consider having a good selection of eateries and restaurants close to the school a great thing. Others might even want a school that's located in a tourist destination. Enter the American Institute for English Proficiency. One reason it is considered the best English school in the Philippines is that it has three locations: Makati, Quezon City and Baguio. The Makati branch is just minutes away from the MRT Ayala station and easily accessible by taxi or passenger jeepney. With its proximity to Greenbelt, there is a wide selection of places to eat. The Quezon City branch is just as conveniently located, close to the MRT GMA station and is walking distance from the restaurants along Timog. For students who want a different experience, the Baguio branch is a great place to learn. …Continue

Most people want to improve our communication skills, especially English. But there are many different opinions on the best way to achieve this. Some people say through academics. Some say practical application. Others say an environment where everyone is encouraged to learn and improve. What better place to get all these than at the American Institute for English Proficiency. Here, students are inspired by Specialists. Most have been to or lived in North America. Not only do students learn the different rules in English, they also get to apply what they learned through different activities like public speaking and conversations. There are also numerous social events. An actual social setting is a great way to practice your English, right? So yes, you can improve your English academically, through practical application and choosing an environment that encourages learning. At AIEP, it is also about the culture. English is our culture.

Wes Hohenstein provides central North Carolina with the latest forecast weeknights on WNCN news at 6, 7 and 11 p.m. His antics in the "WNCN Weather Facts" promotion series helped earn him the 2014 Midsouth Emmy Award for "Promo Campaign."
Wes joined the WNCN Weather team in 2006, but it was an eighth grade science project that started his broadcast meteorology career.
Fortunately, there was no such thing as YouTube back then, so footage of that first weathercast is not available!
From there, it was on to Saint Louis University, where he received a degree in meteorology.
During college, Wes interned at the NBC station in St. Louis, where he learned what it takes to be a great television meteorologist. That internship helped Wes get his first job at KLFY in Lafayette, La.
It was here where he earned his American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval, a mark of distinction given to broadcast meteorologists who meet established criteria for scientific competence and effectively communicate their forecast on a daily basis. He has also won an Associated Press award for best weathercast.
From the bayou, Wes moved to KTVX in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition to morning weather, Wes also did some feature reporting. It was a great time to be in Salt Lake City, during the 2002 Winter Olympics, plus some of the best skiing in the world was only a few minutes away.
After two years in Utah, Wes moved back south to Houston, where he did morning weather for the NBC station, KPRC. In Houston, he covered everything from hurricanes to floods and even a white Christmas one year. Those events prepared Wes for the wild weather we often get in North Carolina.
Aside from providing a daily forecast, being an active part of the community is very important to Wes. Over the years he has visited hundreds of schools, sharing his weather knowledge and television stories with students. He also speaks with summer camps, church groups and community organizations on a regular basis. He is active on WNCN's "At Your Service" committee. Wes considers opportunities like these to be the best part of his job!
Wes was born in Decatur, Illnois but grew up and spent most of his younger years in St. Charles, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. In his spare time, Wes can usually be found on the golf course, grilling in the back yard or cheering for his beloved St. Louis Cardinals. He is also a huge college basketball fan, but refuses to commit publicly to any team other than his Saint Louis Billikens. Wes and his family, including their yellow lab Zoe, make their home in Holly Springs.
Feel free to drop Wes an email anytime. He loves hearing from you about weather or anything else on your mind.

|Head Coach
|Overall Record:
|33-20, .623
|SCIAC Record:
|19-13, .594
|University of Redlands
|Office Location:
|Mod F-15
Kristen Dowling returns for her third year as head women's basketball coach. In her second year she led the Athenas to a share of the SCIAC regular season title and to the SCIAC Tournament title as the team set the record for most wins in a season (24).
She spent the 2010-12 seasons as an assistant women's basketball coach at Pepperdine University where this past season she helped the Waves to an 18-12 finish and a spot in the postseason Women's National Invitation Tournament. It was her second time on the Waves coaching staff. From 2006-08, during her first stint, Dowling was a fulltime graduate assistant for Pepperdine. She spent the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at CSU Bakersfield before being asked to return to Pepperdine as an assistant in June 2010.
At Cal State Bakersfield, Dowling was part of a coaching staff that guided the Roadrunners to the two best records in school history. Her 2008-09 team compiled an overall record of 19-10, and the 2009-2010 squad posted a 16-13 mark, which was tops among the seven NCAA Division-I Independent women's basketball programs––earning Bakersfield its first Division I post-season trip to the Women's Basketball Invitational.
Dowling played collegiately at the University of Redlands, where she led the Bulldogs to their second-ever Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in 2004, and helped the university win a Women's Basketball Coaches Association Class Act Achievement Award. Dowling graduated Phi Beta Kappa, earning her bachelor's degree in Spanish, with a minor in physical education. She went on to earn her master's in educational technology at Pepperdine, and is a graduate of Nike's "So You Want to Be a Coach" program, as well as the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy.
