University Home > cttl > Online Seminars > Designing Courses > Designing Courses for Learning
Objective: This part of the seminar will briefly introduce common principles of course design. Afterward, you should be able to describe some general principles and processes of effective course design.
Designing courses can be a meaningful experience for many teachers. For those of us who pursue advanced academic study and research, designing courses in our field or area of specialty can feel like an extension of other scholarly work. Designing and teaching courses gives us an opportunity to demonstrate our knowledge of and enthusiasm for our disciplines.
But our expertise also can create pressure to get the content portion of our courses "just right," and this can sometimes feel like our priority should be pouring all the things we know about a topic into our course plan. This is especially true for graduate students and other new teachers. Similarly, we often feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to our content and our discipline (and perhaps even to our departments) that can sometimes lead to the belief that we must "cover" as much "content" as possible during class time. After all, isn't that why students come to learn from us?
For many of us, our first attempts at designing courses involved starting with a big list of the "content" that must be covered (e.g., readings, imagines, concepts, formulas, etc.), a list of all the things we happened to know about the topic, and the semester calendar of course meetings or sessions. In a coverage-based approach, instructors diligently plug in readings and concepts and lectures until the calendar is filled up (and wring their hands over what to do with all the content that doesn't fit!). Then, they slot in some due dates for major assignments (which may or may not be fully thought out at this point), package the whole thing up nicely, and hand students a syllabus that conveys what will be covered and what will be due over the course of the semester. That is, we articulate what they will be doing in the course, but we don't always clearly articulate what those things will be doing for them.
Are you teaching if no one is learning?
However, in recent decades, course design models have shifted to focus more on learning and less on coverage, for a variety of reasons: the list of things considered "essential content" continues to grow for most disciplines, and some have argued that it is now (perhaps always has been) impossible to "cover" everything we might want to in a single course. Additionally, the changing expectations for accreditation and accountability in higher education continue to evolve and to exert pressure on universities and academic departments to focus more on student learning - that is, what students will know and be able to do upon leaving a course, a curriculum, a program.
In fact, the distinction between designing courses for coverage and designing courses for learning is somewhat false. Teachers always have been committed to student learning. As the clichéd old question asks: are you teaching if no one is learning? And many instructors design courses that both cover content and facilitate student learning. The question is: how?
PHOTO at: http://www.aacu.org/peerreview/pr-wi07/images/Fink_Fig2_Web.jpg
Ultimately, Fink argues that, for significant learning to occur, there must be an ongoing interchange amongst and between these elements of course design. This may be different from the way many of us actually design courses.
Often, even those of us who design courses intentionally around student learning defer decisions about specific teaching and learning activities and/or assessment methods until we have to make them during the semester. But this deferral can create challenges. For example, if we don't make decisions about teaching and learning activities and assessment methods as we are designing learning objectives, we risk assigning activities that are not actually aligned to our learning objectives. This means we may not prepare students to achieve the learning objectives we've set and/or that we may not assess student work as effectively as we could and/or that our students experience our classes a series of disconnected, seemingly purposeless tasks to get through.
Our discussion about course design processes and principles, then, is meant to foreground the importance of thinking in an intentionally integrative way about learning objectives, teaching and learning activities, and assessment methods - every time you design a course. This does not mean that you must work out every single teaching and learning activity you might wish to use even before the course begins, but it does mean you have to be aware of the relationships between the goals you have for student learning and the strategies by which you strive to help them achieve those goals.
At a minimum, then, give some thought to three key questions:
If you can begin to answer these questions, you're ready to begin designing courses for learning. For the rest of this seminar, we'll focus our attention largely on the first question.

Lake Marmara (Turkish: Marmara Gölü) is a lake in Manisa Province, western Turkey, bordered by the district areas of Gölmarmara to the northwest, whose name itself is inspired by the lake, and in larger part by Salihli.
Lake Marmara is located in the alluvial valley of Gediz River and at 79 m (259 ft), is slightly lower than the surrounding plains of the river (91 m (299 ft) for the nearby Gölmarmara town center).
Aside from being a recreational center for the province as a whole, Lake Marmara also an important source for fishing and agricultural irrigation and an Important Bird Area.[1]
In the early stages of Anatolian history, the lake was famous as a resort center for the Lydians, at a short distance from their capital, and was called under various names throughout history, the most notable being "Lake Gyges" or "Gygaean Lake" and "Lake Coloe" or "Lake Koloe."

You are now leaving the Belfint Lyons Shuman website. Neither Belfint Lyons Shuman nor PrimeGlobal are responsible for the content of the site you are visiting.
After thirty-four years of service, I am pleased to announce that on June 30, 2014 I retired from BLS. I am
proud to be a part of this extraordinary firm, which I have helped grow into the company it is today. Along
with retirement comes more time with my family which I am enjoying immensely.
As a part of my transition into retirement, I introduced many of my contacts to a new BLS team who share
my same dedication to providing quality tax and financial services. Rest assured that although I have retired,
I am not far away. I will still be available to BLS to assist if needed. Thank you to all of my clients, referral
sources, friends and the BLS team for the privilege of working with so many of you over these many years.
To reach me after my retirement, please contact BLS at 302.225.0600 and our administrative services team
will let me know of your call.
Very truly yours,
Dan P.
We think of Dan as a fast-track professional; he earned his Director status here within six years of
joining the firm. It's likely he's grown his intellectual property and impact as a result of his involvement
in the industry education community as both a public speaker and national presenter for industry trade
associations such as PrimeGlobal (formerly IGAF Polaris).
Dan's tax knowledge bridges the divide between nonprofit and corporate tax guidelines, and he is as
comfortable providing insight at the podium as he is in the boardroom. We sometimes think of Dan as
our in-office answer man; there's not a lot that he doesn't know when it comes to taxation and employee
benefit plan compliance. He's our go-to guy, a veritable wealth of knowledge.
Tap into his expertise and you'll find your answers for not just tax challenges or employee benefit plan
management, but succession plans, mergers and acquisitions for physicians' groups, and business
growth strategies.
Perspectives from Dan
"Helping clients and peers develop their intellectual property is helping them grow in their business and
as professionals. That's what I like to do, pass it on."
"It's important to pay attention to the impact of business decisions, not just on the business and its
shareholders, but to make sure we understand the impact on personal finance. I keep my eye on everything."

After the opt-out mass protest didn't quite garner the attention, or changes, privacy advocates hoped for, two Harvard law students have decided to take action by filing a federal lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration over the use of body scanners and enhanced pat-down techniques.
The suit, fled in the District Court of Massachusetts, claims the acts are unconstitutional violations of the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. The suit seeks a permanent injunction against the use of either screening method unless the TSA has either reasonable suspicion or probable cause directed at a specific individual. The suit also seeks a declaratory judgment that the mandatory screening methods are unconstitutional in the absence of either reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
The TSA has not commented on the litigation.
This is not the only lawsuit connected with the new security measures. At least two other suits have been filed by passengers, one in Florida and one in Arkansas. Two commercial airline pilots have also sued, challenging the constitutionality of the searches.
Despite the existence of the suits and some resistance to the new procedures, these are not necessarily slam-dunk constitutional arguments. The searches are generally considered "administrative searches" rather than police searches and therefore require a lower level of suspicion to maintain their constitutionality. Administrative searches need only be "reasonable" in order to pass constitutional muster. When pressed in district courts so far the courts have sided with the agency conducting the search.

I mean I don't agree who exchange their invasion of privacy for freedom. It is not ok. The full-body scanner or the pat downs. No one should be arrested or delayed or suspected of being a terrorist just because they refuse to comply with that stupid rule for searches or strip searches....
Great news but still a long way to go. This paranoid government.... invasion of privacy like Big Brother is Watching You..... almost becomng like a totalitarian/dictatorship govt.... Enough is enough. Someone has to stand up for what's right and I don't agree people who accept this TSA technique and say they "have nothing to hide" or have no problem with it...
I'm glad it's finally being challenged in court. I refuse to fly at all until this stupidity is ended once and for all.
How awful is this? What about unwanted evasion of our own bodies Phooey!!!!!!!
Cheri why do you think congress and the like get a pass, and the circle of friends they run with? Do the likes of Gates have to do the same? Anybody who travels to China do they have these machines in place? Or is it just Americans and the Western world subject to this madness? Now they are using the same trucks that were in the m.e. in our streets why? Are we strap-ping theses things on us here?
I just read today that scientists at the Center for National studies in Los Almoes New Mexico discovered that the naked scanners put out something called Thz that scatter your DNA. So what does that do,in time it will kill you. First your dignity,then your health and in time your life.And it only takes a flip switch to make your naked picture in full color. The way they were doing it before worked just fine,dogs work great,there is no need for these death scannners and horrible pat downs. I will no longer be flying but then,its going to be at the busses,trains,concerts,and for what. Power and money and most of all,control of the American people. Stand together and say NO!!!!
Have we all forgotten (never heard?) that in the 1920's & 30's the Gestapo was busy finding out who would go along with their program. Who is willing to go along with the program? Whether it be to feed their family, keep a roof over their head or a personal power trip. What are TSA agents doing today and why? Who would want their jobs? Why is anyone still flying in the US today? To see family, to go to a funeral, for business or pleasure? Doesn't anyone understand that if I don't buy an airline ticket, and you don't buy an airline ticket somebody important is not going to get a dividend check and the wealthy have the power to stop this nonsense?
If using the scanners or pat-downs, allows us back into the waiting areas with the ones who are leaving, then I'm all for it. But, if it doesn't, then what good is it? People will Always find a way to something onto the plane. And the TSA is usually many steps behind it. Going to the airport has become a "chore". I remember when we used to be able to wait with our loved ones/friends at the gate terminal until they left. Now, it is an impersonal, robotic, most times chaotic time just dropping people off. Does anyone remember waiting in the terminal for their loved ones/friends to come off the plane? I miss those too. So, if they allow us back in, I'll do the scanner or "groping" to make flying a personal family thing again. Even the added wait for such a thing I would be willing to do.
Thanks to the Harvard students pressing this issue. I've been saying it's unconstitutional, not just on unreasonable search and seizure, but also on the presumption that with the forced pat downs and such, we are being labeled as terrorists. When did they forget we are innocent until proven guilty? If being an American traveling to see family is a safety issue, this country is becoming un-American.
@ Tracey W. Thanks. I have said all along, where are the dogs. Dogs can and have been fine tuned trained to discover these things. And, yes a whole lot cheaper. Wake up people. There is something far bigger going on here than security.

AP/Dual Credit at Liberty Public Schools
Liberty High School offers 28 Dual Credit courses and 14 AP courses covering a variety of topics and subject areas. Students interested in taking these college level classes are eligible to get college credits for the work they complete in these courses. AP courses are open to any student who meets the prerequisites for the classes. Dual Credit courses require students to meet several criteria, these criteria are listed on this web page. If students are interested in moving on to college, AP and Dual Credit courses are a great way to prepare students for the rigor and high expectations of college work.

What is the difference between AP and Dual Credit
|AP Courses
|Dual Credit Courses
|What is the course like?
|AP course work is college level work, students are expected to read, reason and write at a college level. All curriculum for AP courses is checked and certified to be college level by the college board. Obviously, AP courses are challenging, but also very rewarding for students who choose to take these courses.
|Dual credit courses are also college level classes. The main difference is that Dual Credit courses are the same class that you would have if you attended the college accrediting the course. Again, students need to exhibit the maturity level and responsibility of someone taking a college level class.
|How will I receive credit?
|AP credit is given based on the score a student receives on the AP test at the end of the class. AP tests are scored on a 1-5 scale. A three or above is considered passing.
|With Dual Credit you are actually a student of the college that is certifying the class. You pay for the credit at the beginning of the class and the grade that you receive in the class goes on both your high school transcript and a transcript from the certifying college.
|What is the cost?
|AP tests generally costs a one time fee of $87 if you would like to take the test. In most classes, you could get up to six college credits for the price of this test.
|Costs vary depending on the class and certifying institution. Cost range from $75 to $125 per credit hour. Most semester classes are three credit hours.
|How do I know if the credit from this course will transfer to the college I would like to attend?
|Check on college admission websites to find out what score you need to get on the AP test to transfer the credit.
|Most colleges accept dual credit like they would a transfer from another college. Check with your college to see if the Dual Credit choice you choose is a requirement at the institution you would like to attend.
|Who do I contact if I have a problem with this class?
|You may contact the teacher of the AP course or an administrator at the high school.
|The instructor of a Dual Credit course is actually an adjunct professor of the college offering the credit. For all questions or problems you will need to contact the college offering the credit.

So, yesterday 2 huge coupon scammers came into my store. The other shift Manager was just warned about them yesterday and of course they were attempting to scam at the same time I was clocking in.
I knew it was the people that the other Shift Manager was warning me about because of the amount of stuff and the quantitities they had it in but I really wanted to make sure and I had to let the point of sale to get to the coupon part. By the way the coupons were printed out alone I could tell that they weren't legitimate.. At this point I took 1 coupon and when I saw the way they were printed out I said the coupons don't print out that way. That is all I said and he was like "Okay well I don't want any of it." Mind you the transaction was up to about $416.00 and that was all it took for him to back out. Cold feet much?
Well, I kind of tossed the one coupon I took back at him. And he gets pissed and raises his voice to me. Saying "Don't you throw anything at me!" and his buddy chimed in saying the same thing. It's like... "Excuse me?" you are here trying to rip me off for god knows how much and you have the nerve to get irate with me? You can attempt ripping us off for hundreds of dollars but you can't handle me tossing a piece of paper? I can't.

Ventura plans to go solar with eye on long-term savings
The city of Ventura will get solar panels on the parking lot and hillside behind City Hall next year in a deal officials say could eventually save $1 million or more on electricity.
Under the contract the City Council approved this week, the city will pay a private company $490,000 to install and operate the panels, using $290,000 from a federal stimulus grant and the rest from a city fund. The company, Solar Power Partners, then will sell power to the city at a set rate that's cheaper than what Southern California Edison charges.
The city estimates that after 20 years, it will come out about $200,000 ahead. Ten years after that, the savings could add up to $1 million.
The council voted 5-2 in favor of the contract with Solar Power Partners, with members Christy Weir and Jim Monahan opposed.
The council members who voted "yes" said the best part of the deal was that it locked in the price of power. Solar Power Partners will charge the city 13.4 cents per kilowatt-hour at first, with increases of 2 percent per year. Southern California Edison charges 16 cents per kilowatt-hour and is expected to raise its rates 4 percent to 6 percent per year, in addition to a 7 percent increase in January.
"The downside risk of not doing this is pretty high because we don't know what the electricity rates are going to be for the next 20 years," Mayor Bill Fulton said. "The upside benefit looks marginal, but the downside risk of not doing this is huge."
Weir said she voted against the proposal because she thought the return was too small and would come too far in the future. The federal grant money would be put to better use paying for more energy-efficient streetlights, she added.
"Our theory here with environmental projects, with energy-saving projects, is that we want something that has a payback that's sooner than 20 years," Weir said.
Monday's vote was the last the city needed to enter the contract with Solar Power Partners. The work is to begin in January and should end by July, Public Works Director Rick Raives told the council.
One set of solar panels will be on the hillside at the site of the Grant Park reservoir, just northeast of City Hall. The second will be over a parking lot behind the building. Together, they will generate 433 kilowatts of electricity, or about 75 percent of what's consumed at the City Hall building, according to a report from Raives to City Manager Rick Cole and the City Council.
Solar Power Partners is a Larkspur, Calif., company that reached a similar deal with Ventura County in 2009 that involved installing solar panels on two buildings at the Saticoy Operations Yard off Highway 118 and the Human Services Agency building at 1400 Vanguard Drive in Oxnard.
The panels remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as planting 45 acres of trees, Raives' report stated.

Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic -- we've heard from several of the heavy hitters at CES already, and they say consumers want smart TV tech. Really?
What happens when you advertise WiFi ready devices that actually aren't? Consumer watchdogs will descend.
As expected, Sony and Panasonic have agreed to partner up to take on Samsung --- and likely Apple --- as the OLED television industry sets its sights on a shift away from LCD technology.
Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, and X6D limited have announced plans to create a standardized active 3D glasses technology - a major win for consumers.
Despite most critics favoring their picture quality, plasmas were at death's doorsteps a couple of years ago, with Pioneer and Vizio abandoning the technology as LCD sales surged. But after slashing prices, the remaining plasma manufacturers -- LG, Panasonic, Samsung -- have resuscitated the market for the sets, which generally deliver better black-level performance and are cheaper than LCDs at larger screen sizes.
iFastime Video Converter Ultimate adopts the most advanced kernel in the world. Now it supports all encoding formats, including H.265/HEVC...
Walking the show floor at CES this year it was clear that there were more people there than the last couple of years (and most of them seemed to be standing in front of the Microsoft stand watching other attendees play Kinect). The Intel, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, LG and Panasonic stands were also crowded all week, taxi and bus lines were far longer than last year, show rates at hotels sold out early in December and most restaurants had queues for tables again - which we hadn't seen since 2008.
CES came to a close this weekend, with at least 62 new digital cameras announced. Here's the complete list from Canon, Casio, Fujifilm, Kodak, Olympus, Panasonic, Polaroid, Samsung, and Sony.

The Wireless Power Consortium has said that standards are now in place for manufacturers to deliver products that work with the universal Qi base
One of the most in-your-face costs of 3D HDTV thus far has been the pricing of the active-shutter 3D glasses that the first available sets from Samsung and Panasonic have required: over $100 per pair. That means picking up enough of them to let everyone in your family see whatever 3D content you can find adds a few hundred more dollars to the large amount you've spent on a 3D set and Blu-ray player.
Samsung and Panasonic will soon be getting some competition in the 3D HDTV market from LG, which recently announced the availability of its LX9500 line in its native Korea. The 47-inch and 55-inch sets will start selling in the United States in May.
While Sony already announced its new products ahead of the PMA 2010 show, today the company previewed a concept model of a compact interchangeable lens camera system that will compete with the existing Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic as well as the yet-to-ship Samsung NX10.
Like offerings from its plasma rival Samsung, Panasonic has announced that its 3D sets will be plasma-based. The company is planning five different models due in the spring that are ready for 3D viewing and each include one pair of active-shutter 3D glasses.
The Wireless Gigabit Alliance has completed a wireless specification that will connect PCs, mobile phones and consumer electronics at very high speeds
A Samsung 10.2-megapixel camera, a HP Officejet 4-in-1 printer, and a Panasonic Viera HDTV.
Consumer Reports recently conducted a test of 54 point-and-shoot digital camera models, and four models came out on top in their research: Canon, Casio, Panasonic and Samsung. They also found you shouldn't spend more than $150 for a well-performing point-and-shoot.
The new Wireless Gigabit Alliance brings together companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Dell and Nokia, who want to create a high-speed data-transfer specification for PCs and consumer electronics
Everyone who's seen Sony's 11-inch XEL-1 TV based on OLED technology has fallen in love with it, but that's apparently not enough for the company to keep working to develop bigger sets. In fact, a Sony spokesman bluntly admitted that "We really made the XEL-1 just to prove that we could make it.
With Olympus and Samsung still only showing concept models of their dSLR-lite compact cameras, Panasonic is the only vendor with a shipping model of its interchangable-lens compact point-and-shoot, the DMC-G1. Panasonic announced an update to the 4-month-old G1 today:The Lumix DMC-GH1.
On the eve of PMA 09, Samsung announced that it will showcase a new concept digital camera--the NX Series--at the show. Though it doesn't adhere to a pre-existing standard, the NX Series is similar to (and will compete with) the Micro Four-Thirds standard championed by Panasonic and Olympus.
Westinghouse Digital gets a bit of the short stick at CES, stuck in the shadow of such high-profile HDTV manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony and Samsung. Still, the company's got some new HDTVs (that, fingers crossed, I'll be able to play with tomorrow), as well as new LCD displays from 19 to 26 inches.

BGA: Linebackers – Right on, Q!
Following his much-maligned "move" to "linebacker" this offseason, Quinton Coples is looking more and more comfortable and starting to look like a force to be reckoned with. There were those that doubted he'd be able to consistently turn the corner against offensive tackles, but he's proven he can do that on a consistent basis, just like we predicted (based on the fact he'd already shown he could do that).
In this game, he had a big hit early on, then it was his pressure that caused Matt McGloin's first half interception. Later on in the game, his inside pressure caused McGloin to fumble the ball and then Coples tackled him for a 15-yard loss (which the NFL seems to have credited as a "team sack" but may change at a later date) and he finally got his sack on the penultimate play of the game.
That doesn't tell the whole story though. There was also a play where he beat Jared Veldheer cleanly and drew a holding penalty and four other plays where the quarterback had to take off early because he was coming. He's causing the kind of consistent disruption over the last month or so that the elite edge rushers in the league do…and that's exciting.
In the running game, Coples over-pursued on one play and was blocked out of another, but did contribute positively with a run stuff at the goal line. He also batted down a pass.
Off the other edge, Calvin Pace continues to sip from the fountain of youth, as he tied his career high with his 8th sack of the season. He also had another three pressures, including one that led to Coples' sack. In the running game, he stuffed a couple of runs and in coverage he made a good open field tackle on third down to force a punt before halftime. There was one play where he and Demario Davis both covered the same receiver, leaving Reece wide open for a big gain, but Pace is showing no signs of slowing down as we approach the end of the season.
Davis was also involved in another couple of mix-ups in coverage, including one where he vacated his zone to create an angle for McGloin to complete a pass down to the goal line and another where he left a man open. He did get in on a handful of tackles near the line in the running game though and took Terrelle Pryor down for a big loss on a read option play. Davis added a couple of pressures, but did miss two tackles.
David Harris also missed two tackles, but led the Jets with eight tackles, including a handful near the line of scrimmage and two on third down. He was blocked out of the middle on the Reece touchdown and embarrassingly juked in the open field by McGloin, but made a couple of good plays in coverage and almost had two pressures, only to trip and fall just before he got there each time.
The Jets welcomed Garrett McIntyre back this week and he played 19 snaps although he was pretty quiet. He did get in on one run stop and also contributed to Davis' tackle for loss on Pryor when he burst into the backfield to force him to bounce it outside.
Next up…what happened when the Jets finally persuaded Antonio Cromartie to start jamming the receivers in press coverage?

Michigan Might Opt Out of Daylight Savings Time
I was one hour late for an appointment the other day because I used the TV to keep track of time and it didn't automatically reset last weekend. A bill introduced by State Rep. Jeff Irwin would end daylight saving time in Michigan. "Ultimately, daylight saving time is not worth the disruption it causes," Irwin said.

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Derma Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DSCI), a provider of advanced wound care products, announced results today for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2008. Sales were up by 75.4%, reflecting the increased volume and distribution capacity provided by the Company's new First Aid Division as well as the increased sales of its new flagship product, MEDIHONEY(R). For the second quarter in 2008, the company reported sales of $13,083,966, up from $7,461,258 during the same period last year, and continuing an overall upward movement from quarter to quarter.
Commenting on the increases, CEO Ed Quilty said, "Now that the integration is almost complete, we are very excited about the sales and distribution channels that we have created for our new line of products. MEDIHONEY sales were $617,000 for the first two quarters and monthly sales are growing steadily. We sold $152,000 just in the month of July, which is an excellent result for a new dressing. We have two new MEDIHONEY products out on the market and several new products ready to be launched in the months ahead. XTRASORB(TM), our new super-absorbent dressing (which complements the MEDIHONEY products) is due out in September, MOBILITY1(TM), our portable intermittent compression device, will be available in October, and we are in the final phase of preparing to launch a novel off-loading device for diabetic foot ulcers."
Sales were also augmented by Derma Science's expanding sales force, which now numbers thirteen direct sales people, as opposed to only two during the same period last year. Expectations are that the sales force will continue to grow as time taken for a new rep to become profitable is identified, and revenue generated by increased sales of MEDIHONEY and the new product lines help to make the sales force more self-sustaining.
Losses for the second quarter of 2008 were in line with the Company's

Letter: On words spoken, written, interpreted and misinterpreted
Joseph M. Horger, Port St. Lucie
Letter: On words spoken, written, interpreted and misinterpreted
Regarding John L. Campani's Feb. 4 letter concerning Hillary Clinton's remark, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
His letter is virtually true and well-written. We often make a remark not knowing and realizing all the consequences it may bring.
We need only to refer to our amendments and the consequences of the words used at the time when they were written. The Second Amendment is now taking a beating.
We can also refer to the Bible and the effects of the many interpretations it has brought about. All the meanings were meant for a particular purpose at the time they were originally conveyed, but the recording and interpretation changes with the reader.
Hillary Clinton's words are questionable as to what she really meant. How sad to interpret it as John did.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Wisconsin Head Coach Bo RyanOn Jordan Taylor's performance:"You have to love his character, his demeanor and his work ethic. I'll never get tired of saying those things about a young man that handles himself that way Jordan Taylor does. If you get tired of hearing it, plug your ears. Jordan is the real deal. He's that kind of guy. You have to like a guy with that kind of pressure, with that good of a team, who can disrupt and play a game with just two turnovers and to go 7-1, that's pretty good. He's definitely our leader on the court. I think he inspired the other guys, and I'm glad he's on our team. "On last offensive rebound:"I think that was pretty key, because then they had the foul and we got to the line to make our free throws. I thought that was a great job stepping to the line and closing the game out. You have to give everyone of those guys that got to the line a lot of credit. That rebound there was huge because then they knew they couldn't let us run the clock out and it was only a two point game at that time."On the two turnovers:"I thought we did a great job of taking care of the ball. I thought they were pretty active and we got ourselves into some situations where I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to attack, retreat, get it out, get it over, but we did. They're a tough team to score on, they always have been. I thought our defense made all the difference in the world. We took the high-low away because our players committed to it." On Jared Berggren and the bench:"He had fire and passion and will. All the players that have ever played for us know what we like and he definitely gave it. I think he should do that every game. I just want our guys to be steadier. Passion and energy is something you can bring every time, because talent is not involved. Jared is getting there. We've always felt he's going to be a good player. He's starting to do that, right here in front of the public."On what won the game:"The shots that they got in the paint were more from offensive rebounds. We took away some of their lobs. We showed the guys clips during the scouting reports and they thought we were showing reruns of Rodney Williams 360 slamming back over his head on a lob, Ralph Sampson and Trevor Mbakwe. We took that away, so defensively you keep them under 40 percent shooting. I would say the percentage on those is pretty good and we took those away from them. That's what we did. We took the high-low away, the lobs and we chased the shooters hard."On strength and leadership of team:"Going back to the scout team, you know how physical, tough and hard-nosed. Jordan Taylor puts up the numbers that he puts up because everyday in practice there is a guy getting after him and never lets up. I think that helps Jordan be that much tougher in games. I don't have any qualms if I have to use Wquiton Smith at the point. He's ready, he's been around and he knows. He's a great leader on that team we have to go up against everyday. To me the game isn't just won in that 40 minutes, the game is won with what everybody on the team does to prepare. We have to figure out now how to prepare for Illinois with what they have. When you're getting ready for them you look at size, you look at shooters and you look at athletes."
Senior F Jon LeuerOn Taylor's and-one late in the game: "It was a time when the game was really close. He drove and I didn't even see him because both of their big guys jumped. I just saw the ball hit off the backboard and it was an and-one. I was very excited at that point. Then we hit free throws down the stretch to close it out."On his offensive rebound late in the game: "I saw the shot clock was down, I always try to go to the glass as hard as I can, and that was a case where nobody blocked me out. Fortunately, it just kind of grazed the rim and fell into my lap. At that point, I just thought, get it out, and know the time and score to work the clock a little bit. It should have been a lay-up, but they fouled Keaton (Nankivil)."On what kind of statement was made with this win: "It was a big win for us. Like you said, they've kind of had our number over the past couple of years, so to get this one felt good, definitely. Like Coach Ryan said after the game, we're 1-0 in the Big Ten and we have 17 more to go. That kind of put it into perspective for us that it is only one game. It was a big game for us, and we're going to try to use it as momentum into the Big Ten season. Right now we have to start focusing on Illinois. We'll enjoy this one but look to Illinois."
Junior G Jordan TaylorOn his three-point play at the end of the game: "Earlier, I got in there and tried to go up but Ralph (Sampson III) blocked my shot off the glass pretty hard. Coach preaches a lot about shot-fake and making good decisions once they're down that deep, so I just try to learn from it the first time. I do think it was a momentum swing, but I still think the biggest play of the game was Jon's offensive rebound. We were up by two and that rebound allowed us to get the ball and shoot free throws the rest of the game."On his shot that led to Leuer's big offensive rebound: "I don't know if it was tipped, it wasn't in my opinion, but I missed the shot. Coach is always talking about going to the glass hard and Jon (Leuer), Keaton (Nankivil), and Mike (Bruesewitz) have all been doing a great job of that this year. It was probably the biggest offensive rebound to this point in our season. It was only one out of four, but you have to keep working, keep trying. Like I said, I don't think it's going to be talked about that much, but I still think that it's the biggest play of the game and allowed us to get the victory tonight."On taking care of the ball and getting to the free throw line: "We stressed making more free throws than them. I think they came into the game shooting 28 free throws a game, or something like that. That's a really good team, especially rebounding. They have some monsters down there in Trevor (Mbakwe) and Ralph (Sampson III).
For us, we were just trying to match their physicality and neutralize that and get the line ourselves. We wanted to keep them off the line. We got out-rebounded 42-24, but they only shot 15 free throws, so for the most part we did a pretty good job. We'll see that again with teams like Michigan State, who are going to be good rebounders. We just need to keep working to get better and keep teams off the board.
Turnovers, I remember mine, but anytime you have two turnovers in a game you give yourselves a pretty good chance to win. They probably should have counted the blocked shot off the backboard because it turns into a lay-up. We took care of the ball, made good decisions for the most part, and scoring 68 points off that team is a pretty good accomplishment. They have some long, athletic guys who can really defend. That's a good team. We're just happy to have the win."
Sophomore F Keaton NankivilOn what kind of performance Taylor had tonight: "All season I look at Jordan as a floor leader in the way he controls the tempo of our team. Not only in terms of actual basketball, but the kind of aggressiveness, how he plays is really controlling of how we, as a team, end up playing. Tonight, I saw him pushing through some fatigue, and a lot of minutes against some very tough guards defensively. As a teammate, to see him do that it really inspires us to keep going."On he and Taylor hitting 3s after Minnesota got the lead: "I think it was just taking advantage of open shots. Jon (Leuer) was able to draw two defenders into the middle of the paint, so I just stepped up behind him where I thought he'd see me. It was an open shot and a good look for us. We go down, whatever it was, one point, I think we picked up a sense of urgency and kind of made a little push there to get back in the lead and hold that for the rest of the game."
Minnesota Head Coach Tubby SmithOpening Statement:"First off, I thought it was a very hard fought basketball game, certainly a compliment to Wisconsin. They did the things they had to do to win the basketball game. We certainly didn't do a good job of defending the 3's, and that was a problem for us. We made some mistakes and couldn't finish around the basket in late game situations. We did some good things, but we need to do a better job. We need to go back and work on some things.
"I thought Jordan Taylor was outstanding today and played extremely well. We couldn't contain him or control him."
On the team's feeling down the stretch:"I think we were just missing shots. We also took some ill-advised shots early in the game, but late, we had some opportunities inside and didn't capitalize and we gave up some open 3's. I thought we just had some defensive breakdowns."
On what concerned him the most down the stretch:"We rebounded well, but we didn't really finish. We missed people. I thought we had opportunities to find people and we didn't. I thought it was the defense that really had some breakdowns. We tried a lot of different things that Jordan Taylor took advantage of when we switched. He took the big guy to the basket or shot over him. He did some good things, and they made some clutch shots."

A Roanoke woman's art helped her through a battle with cancer. Now, this photographer's work is going on display Saturday to help the Roanoke Rescue Mission.
Roanoke photographer Kendra Portnova can recall the exact date she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
"It was November 13, 2007," Portnova said. "It was quite a blow for my family and it was very emotional."
Taking photographs, writing a blog and faith helped Portnova get through her 12 months of treatment which included chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
Now seven years cancer-free her journey is reflected in her work. One photograph called glimmer of hope was taken near the end of her cancer treatment. It shows the sun reflecting on the water at sunset.
"It's the reflection. The sun was setting in South Carolina. I was there with my husband," said Portnova. "It was that glimmer of hope that you need during your journey to get you through."
Much of Portnova's work highlights her Roanoke Valley roots- with shots from the Transportation museum and the ferris wheel at the Salem Fair.
This wife and mother of two boys also makes necklaces with her photographs. One hangs around her neck as she describes the process. It begins with resizing the photograph to make it small.
She then puts a resin type sticker over the photograph. On the "glimmer of hope" necklace she's wearing she has added shells and a stamped metal piece with the inscription "glimmer of hope."
Portnova also makes whimsical refrigerator magnets featuring her photographs of Roanoke landmarks. One shows the Mill Mountain Star. Others include the Texas Tavern, the Dr. Pepper sign, Roanoke's Fire Station Number One, and the Taubman Museum.
One photograph Portnova has taken is quite possibly the most moving. It's one she entered in a contest. It's a black and white photograph she took of herself.
"It was like a self portrait of myself with all my hospital bands on my arms in a prayer position," Portnova said. "And it won."
That photograph was shown in Washington, D.C. along with artwork from other cancer survivors and from family members and caregivers of cancer patients from around the nation. The artwork was also published in a book.
Portnova will be at the Roanoke Rescue Mission Second Helpings Gallery on Williamson Road Saturday afternoon from 1pm until 3pm. Her photographs and jewelry will be on sale. Part of the proceeds from her work benefits the Roanoke Rescue Mission.

I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.
