After years of allegations of deceptive marketing practices, for-profit Westwood College is no longer accepting new students after another multimillion-dollar agreement with a state attorney general.
Honorary degrees are the last remaining tie many colleges have with Bill Cosby. More and more institutions are rescinding them, but some are refusing to do so.
Earlier this past summer, the U.S. Department of Education announced it would eliminate a student's opportunity to list in rank order the colleges and universities to which he or she had submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Many in higher education, and most involved in college counseling, applauded the decision.
Then, this month, the National Association for College Admissions Counseling amended its ethical guidelines to memorialize the department's action, and it now discourages colleges from asking applicants to list in rank order the colleges they are considering.
These recent changes will force many of us who work at colleges and universities to more directly ask students about their level of interest in our institution. Because we will no longer be able to rely on our ranked position on the FAFSA, which had very high predictive value related to a student's prospect for enrolling, we now will have to do the asking. This will be new territory for many of us and for students, but I believe such directness can be good for colleges, admissions offices, families and students.
I suspect this shift in communication may have been unintentional on the parts of both the Education Department and NACAC. I also think their actions were the result of a "parade of horribles" -- what-ifs and speculations -- that undoubtedly will bring focus to other important strategies and tools used by many colleges in the contemporary practice of admissions.
Oft mentioned among the parade of horribles are:
These sound pretty awful, while the actions of the Department of Education and NACAC, designed to protect students, seem sensible. So why in the world would admissions and enrollment professionals, also presumably interested in serving and recruiting students, engage in such practices?
Let's start with two premises.
First, there are three types of colleges: superselective institutions that have the luxury of "crafting a class," open-access colleges that accept everyone who applies and colleges that work tirelessly all year just to make each class.
Second, one of the primary responsibilities of today's enrollment manager or senior admissions leader is to predict who will enroll.
While my institution may be positioned between the superselective and the just-make-the-class types, my sympathies are more closely aligned with the latter, given the realities of demographic shifts, changes in ability and willingness of students and their families to pay, and the affordability advocates who tout cutbacks to areas such as marketing, administration and recruitment.
At Augustana College, where I work in admissions, one of my primary responsibilities is to offer the president and the Board of Trustees a data-informed prediction about who will enroll each year. This prediction sets in motion a budget and planning process that impacts the quality of education we offer our students and the livelihoods of the people who serve our students. Therefore, I want to have as many resources as possible to help inform that prediction.
We don't ask students to rank order the institutions to which they've applied, but we do ask admitted students whether Augustana ranks first or in the top three or top five choices. We've done this for years, postadmission, and have found it to be very helpful in prioritizing our outreach to students and making the best use of our time as admissions professionals. We've used this information along with FAFSA position to help predict who will show up on our campus in the fall.
So, let me offer a few reasons -- not in any rank order -- why an admissions office might want to have a good idea about our relative standing with students in an effort to be efficient and make credible predictions.
Limited, constrained human resources. For most college admissions offices, especially at those institutions that need to work very hard to make the class, human resources must be deployed carefully, thoughtfully and with the greatest good in mind. Given the size of applicant pools, it is usually impossible to develop relationships with everyone who applies. Many admissions offices try to learn where to focus their efforts to make the most meaningful connections. Information like the ranking of colleges, and many other things that demonstrate students' interests, can help an admissions counselor prioritize work and concentrate on the students most likely to enroll. At institutions that need 20 to 25 percent of our admitted students to enroll, being able to connect with those most likely to choose our college is quite useful.
The need to work smarter. A constant chorus on college campuses today is to "work smarter, not harder." Data equip an admissions office to do that. I am aware of very few admissions offices that are increasing staff sizes, which means we are expected to work smarter every year in an environment of heavier workloads and shrinking resources. Lacking human resources, we need data, tools and processes that streamline and focus attention and allow us to be smart in our work.
Vital volunteer engagement. When it takes a village to make the class, ensuring that your village of volunteers has meaningful engagements with prospective students is crucial to long-term recruitment and admissions success. Most admissions offices rely on campus partners to supplement the recruitment effort and ultimately be effective. If there's one thing I know about volunteers, it is that one bad experience can turn an enthusiastic volunteer away forever. Many admissions offices need to do an internal sort to make sure volunteers have good experiences. Data that inform an internal sort are important to maintaining valuable relationships with our volunteers, too.
Efficiency and access. Most important, good use of time means we can focus more on first-generation or underresourced students and families. One of the reasons we must prioritize is so we can spend more hours on creating access -- working with populations who are not as familiar with the college search process or our type of college. Understanding that one student is clear about choosing your college can free you up to counsel others who need more information to make a comfortable and informed decision.
Most people would agree this list does not in any way sound related to a "parade of horribles." In the end, it may just come down to the fact that communication patterns and predictions keep changing. Perhaps in a couple of years, students, becoming more savvy by the minute, will decide once they're admitted to tell each college or university that it is number one on their list -- thus hoping to get more attention. To get to the real truth, we will again have to change our approach to how we ask them.
Because, ultimately, we should do all we can to communicate honestly and in depth with our accepted students, and that begins with directness and an effort to truly know what they are thinking. It's the kind of communication that should precede any commitment of this magnitude.

Kerry Ann Rockquemore offers five ways to climb out from under piles of old and unopened messages.
Over the past summer, much fanfare greeted the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including a reception at the White House and parades, speeches and gatherings across the country. By comparison, the anniversary of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) -- which came into being the same year -- came and went without public recognition.
The IDEA might seem tangential to those of us involved with higher education because its legislative reach extends only through secondary school. But as my classes get underway this fall, I'm reminded of its powerful impact on the current generation of college students, disabled and able-bodied alike.
The IDEA, which replaced 1975 legislation called the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA), mandates a "free appropriate public education" to all students from pre-K through high school. Before the passage of the EAHCA, many states had laws barring children with disabilities such as deafness, blindness, emotional disturbance and other cognitive delays from public education.
According to a research study completed in 1970, only one in five children with disabilities had received an education in school.
The 1975 law changed that by requiring schools to place them in the "least restrictive environment," meaning, to the greatest extent possible, they would be included alongside nondisabled peers. The IDEA of 1990 expanded the age range of protected children, added measures to support families and included new provisions for adaptive equipment and services. Its new name also signaled an important shift away from "handicapped children" (which implied children were defined by their disabilities) to the people-first language of "individuals with disabilities" (which implied that disability was just one aspect of a child's identity).
The life writing of people with disabilities tells harrowing stories of what it was like to go to school before the passage of the EAHCA. Animal scientist Temple Grandin, whose autism made it hard for her to converse socially, was teased and ostracized by her peers. The parents of Stephen Kuusisto, director of the honors program at Syracuse University, refused to enroll him in a school for the blind and sent him to a school where he received no accommodations for his low vision. Deaf scholar Brenda Brueggemann describes the awkwardness of going with classmates to movies where she was unable to hear or understand the dialogue.
Reading these accounts, I'm reminded that the students with disabilities I find in my classes are the beneficiaries of a very different system. The IDEA ensured that most of them received an inclusive education, and it required the schools they attended to provide adaptive technologies, assistants and support services that would allow them to succeed in classes with their nondisabled peers.
Less often acknowledged is the impact of the IDEA on nondisabled college students. By including larger numbers of students with disabilities in elementary and secondary schools, the IDEA changed how nondisabled kids understood the meaning of disability. It is far less common for today's students to have attended a school where the "special" kids arrived on the stigmatized "short bus" and marched off to a separate classroom. Having those kids in class -- along with their wheelchairs, canes, adaptive communication devices and assistants -- naturalized disability in a way that would not have been possible in more segregated environments.
Many of today's students grew up with the assumption that children with disabilities belong in the same classroom and have the same right to an education that they do. Research shows that having kids with disabilities in class teaches valuable lessons about acceptance, patience and diversity. As people with disabilities increasingly participate in the workforce, inclusive education also prepares the current generation of students for a diversity they will likely encounter in their professional lives.
In case I sound overly cheery, let me be clear that the IDEA is no panacea. I'm well aware that many schools still have special classrooms for children deemed too disabled for inclusion. New York City, where I live, is home to District 75, reserved for segregating those "special" kids from their typical peers. On the other end of the spectrum, some of my students attended exclusive private schools that are exempt from the requirements of the IDEA. Their experience of kids with disabilities is limited to the service learning projects that round out their stellar college applications. And despite the law, the families of students with disabilities are often exhausted by fighting for services they are entitled to.
That said, I'm still convinced the law provides a valuable foundation that is worth building on and that should be celebrated.
I'm never more aware of the impact of the IDEA than when I tell my students that I'm the parent of a child with Down syndrome. Because of the IDEA, my son attends second grade at an inclusive elementary school. More than one of my students has responded to this disclosure by saying, "My best friend has Down syndrome!"
In the generation before the IDEA, this scenario would have been virtually unthinkable. If they went to school at all, children with Down syndrome were tucked away in special classes where they learned life skills because nobody thought they were capable of reading and writing. Seeing them banished in this way, their typical peers learned that people with Down syndrome were not worthy of inclusion.
Certainly the world is a better place for my son: ample research shows that people with Down syndrome learn better in inclusive settings. But it is also a better place for his peers, who, thanks to the IDEA, learn to recognize him as a person deserving of respect and friendship. That recognition is high on the list of lessons I'd like my students to learn before entering college.

Tapping into her favorite movie lines, K. Johnson Bowles offers advice for the new administrator.
We've all been there -- the crack of dawn, the long narrow table, people with their status shields (aka laptops) open and rattling around the table, some poor soul up front droning on about the project to which he or she just devoted the past six months. Levels of interest torn between the incoming emails and waiting for this person to just get to the point. Yes, it's the committee meeting. And we're using it all wrong.
First, ask yourself -- why committees? And why structure the meetings like an evil twin of the 1970s lecture theater? Gather some of the best brains in your organization, gossip/update, dim the lights, pontificate, raise the lights, get your stuff and run like hell to the next meeting. See my point?
Now, many would say, "We're a decentralized model. We need committees to get the best people working together toward a singular purpose. They help us push forward the agendas that will make this college or university the best in the nation, making education more affordable, accessible and engaging while transitioning innovation from the classroom to the local economy." Yeah. And when did your committee meeting do that last?
Reality? Somewhere between the august town hall meeting of the commonwealth and today's committee meeting, we lost the script. Committees became collectibles that connote status. "Oh, are you in the digital reimagination committee? Well, I've just been nominated for the rock our health scholarship committee."
Over the past few years, a lot has been written on effective corporate structures and meetings. Below are some of the nuggets colleges and universities may consider when looking to improve how they utilize their best talent. My division at Pennsylvania State University is currently employing these approaches. The most precious thing we have is our people and their brainpower. Innovation demands that we look at absolutely everything within the organization and say, "How can this be better? How can this be more sustainable? How can this be more productive? How can this be less painful?" Whereas we first got some pretty strange looks when we skirted the opportunity to create committees, we are now finding that others are taking our practices and employing them across more than just our activities.
My dear academicians -- you want change, you like working together and you are perfectly capable of getting stuff done. Let yourselves have some license to go there. (Warning, some of these thoughts are completely contrary to the way higher ed now functions.)
1. Keep it small. A recent report on the most responsive modern companies that are best at elastically meeting new demands shows the optimal size for getting work done is five to nine people -- max. Higher ed committees tend to be much larger than this in many cases, and corporate leaders are stunned that a 15-person committee in academe is a pretty normal thing. How big are your committees? Is each person in that committee carrying his or her weight? Do they come prepared, informed and ready to intelligently move your initiative forward? If there are people who aren't doing that -- they're not committee members. They are subject experts you should call on occasionally but not pull into a meeting room every week.
Consider: What if you shifted your mind from "committee" to "working group"? At the center is a five- to nine-person team who can reach out to the greater universe of the campus to gain consensus. I still lean heavily on the RACI principle. That's one person responsible for the initiative, two or three approvers, consultants who can be called on if and when needed and the informed, who … well, you need to keep them in the loop.
Within the initiative itself, you should staff to win. Put in place a creative mind who will stretch the tried and true who is an expert on the audience for whom you are developing the initiative, an editor who is familiar with your system and can make your idea ironclad, an engineer who can manifest your ideas, a networker who can work through the system to get the right approvers and, finally, a monetizer who knows how to get you the funding you need and can measure all performance for further enhancement or sunsetting.
2. Meetings are for working together, not being talked at. Most of the people who are at committee meetings are there specifically because they hold veto power, a specific skill/knowledge or the purse strings. Their schedules are tough to get onto. Do you honestly want them sitting there passively at your meeting? Or would your time be much better spent working together?
Consider: What if each of your meetings had clear and concise goals and involved exercises to meet those goals and attain answers you critically need? And what if a core priority of each meeting was to gain consensus on a topic, decide a direction and appoint a small group to get it done within that quarter? Hard work framing your meeting, timing your agenda and constructing productive (and dare I say fun?) exercises is critical in designing a truly effective meeting.
Increasingly, our engaged scholarship meetings are moving from committee meetings to working meetings. Everyone now knows that when he or she comes to ELT (Engaged Leadership Team), goals of the meeting will be framed, team exercises will tackle shortlisted issues, report-outs will include rapid enhancement editing from the larger team and no one leaves the meeting until next steps and responsibilities have been assigned. Those meetings move.
3. Relaying information is best prior to discussion/activities so people have time to move from collection of information to connection of information. Meetings often go sideways when you're trying to reach consensus among people who have varying levels of literacy on a topic. Also, we frequently forget that people have different cognitive processing. Some can scan and immediately see broad implications that they want to discuss immediately; others need time to digest the information and check the facts. I have a colleague who comes to each meeting with reams of highlighted information. She rarely talks. But when she does, you bet I listen.
Consider: How much time is spent on making flash presentations that are meant to explain complex issues in the simplest visual terms? What if we just did one-page explanations of our idea, which outlined the why, what, how much and for how long? Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, puts 30 minutes at the front end of meetings aside just for the reading of these reports. He knows "preread" often stands for "never read." This practice allows everyone sacrosanct time to review, and the information is fresh in their minds while they are discussing during the rest of the meeting.
4. Nothing beats one-on-one, face-to-face. Some consider committees a reason to no longer have one-on-ones. Wrong. Many of the issues you're going to deal with in your groups are contentious and political -- in short, subjects that many don't want to first be exposed to when surrounded by their peers. Take the time to treat your team members like the flawed human beings we all are. Give them the safe, private space they need to openly discuss their issues/passions. When you give them time and respect, you'll understand them more, and as a result they will be more open to your ideas.
Consider: Sure, one-on-one takes time. So schedule for it. Block out one day of your week just for one-on-one meetings. Be ready to listen. Do not spend the time pushing your current agenda. Find out about your members' priorities, goals and responsibilities. Understanding what they consider to be success will help you understand the best ways to employ them to meet the goals of your institution.
When I first moved to Penn State University last October, I knew there would be many people thinking, "Oh, here comes the innovation lady. She'll think she's all that." In actuality, I have absolutely no interest in force-feeding innovation to unreceptive souls, and I fully realized that, without support from others in our great institution, innovation would go nowhere. So I met with many people one-on-one. To each, I asked, "What are your goals? What is your role? What are the barriers getting in your way? How can I help?" Then I sat back and listened and took notes. Those meetings defined and continue to define my job. These one-on-ones gave me my priorities, the pains that needed to be addressed, the passions I needed to feed and foster. Everything I could never get from a committee meeting.
Let's start with that. Give it a try. And let us know at Inside Higher Ed what you experienced. Did it work? Did it fail? What dynamics were at play? After all, life is about learning, making incremental improvements and hopefully progressing to better and better models for us all to succeed.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Bladder Cancer Symptoms
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
The most common symptoms of bladder cancer include the following:
These symptoms are nonspecific. This means that these symptoms are also linked with many other conditions that have nothing to do with cancer. Having these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have bladder cancer.
If you have any of these symptoms, you should see your health care professional right away. People who can see blood in their urine, especially older males who smoke, are considered to have a high likelihood of bladder cancer until proven otherwise.
Blood in the urine is usually the first warning sign of bladder cancer. Unfortunately, the blood is often invisible to the eye. This is called microscopic hematuria, and it is detectable with a simple urine test. In some cases, enough blood is in the urine to noticeably change the urine color. The urine may have a slightly pink or orange hue, or it may be bright red with or without clots. If your urine changes color beyond just being more or less concentrated, particularly if you see blood in the urine, you need to see your health care professional promptly. Visible blood in the urine is referred to as gross, or macroscopic hematuria.
Bladder cancer often causes no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage that is difficult to cure. Therefore, you may want to talk to your health care professional about screening tests if you have risk factors for bladder cancer. Screening is testing for cancer in people who have never had the disease and have no symptoms but who have one or more risk factors.

Historian Francis Lieber's unlikely career in the Civil War
Rick Beard, an independent historian, is senior adviser for the Pennsylvania Civil War 150 and volunteer coordinator of the Civil War Sesquicentennial for the American Association for State and Local History.In October 1861, a legal scholar and historian named Francis Lieber presented the first in a series of lectures entitled "The Laws and Usages of War" at the Columbia College's new law school in New York City. Though the talks, which ran through the following March, were long and often rambling, they drew up to 100 people each and afterward appeared in The New York Times and other newspapers around the country. The public, eager for insight into how the worsening war would and should be fought, devoured his every word.

Paul Finkelman: Francis Lieber and the Law of War
Paul Finkelman is the President William McKinley distinguished professor of law and public policy at Albany Law School.The philosopher and legal scholar Francis Lieber was born in 1798 in Germany, and as a young man was wounded in the final skirmishes of the Napoleonic wars. He emigrated to the United States in 1827, after twice being imprisoned by Prussian authorities for his pro-reform political activities. A respected jurist in his home country, he eventually became a professor at Columbia, a few years before the outbreak of the Civil War.Lieber had an affinity for soldiering and war, and when conflict broke out in America, he would have happily enlisted, save that he was already 62 years old. Instead, he advised the Lincoln administration on all manner of legal issues, helping to sort out the complexities of how to treat prisoners, guerillas, confiscated property and civilians in a civil war, when none of the traditional rules of international law seemed to quite apply. In this capacity he made immeasurable contributions to the war effort – and the future of the laws of war.

Crafting the Rules for Hell

Francis Lieber, circa 1865. Credit: Library of Congress.American military and political leaders since the Revolutionary War have grappled with the problem of whether conduct in the hellish horror and chaos of war can be regulated by law.Before the Civil War, American troops relied largely on Enlightenment customs of war that grew out of European conflicts, although rules were flexible or ignored depending on the particular commanders, whether military concerns outweighed the niceties of "civilized" war, and the character of the enemy -- whether an organized national military or a band of Indians or Mexican guerilla fighters.

Tom Smith again leads the way in the FTI County MVP standings after becoming the first player to pass 400 points this season.
The all-rounder claimed six wickets and scored 32 runs as Lancashire slipped to a narrow loss against Nottinghamshire in the LV= County Championship.
That encounter also featured Notts' Samit Patel, who is having another good year as he continues to lead all points-scorers since the MVP's inception in 2007.
He is third in the rankings this year, a place behind perennial contender Darren Stevens.
Jim Allenby and Jeetan Patel, whose 31 points against Durham saw him make the biggest move of the week, round off the top five.
The FTI MVP is a cumulative points system that rewards players for every run scored, wicket taken and catch held – and how well they do it.

Prince William pops question
November 17, 2010
Henry Chu
Forget the talk of dire spending cuts and grim economic times. Who needs doom and gloom when royal confetti is in the air? Prince William and Kate Middleton, once the world's most talked-about college sweethearts, ended years of speculation by announcing their engagement Tuesday. The second-in-line to the British throne and his longtime girlfriend, both 28, intend to get married next year; exact date (sometime in the spring or summer), venue (big) and guest list (monstrous) all TBA. With no royal or aristocratic pedigree, Middleton will become the first commoner in centuries to marry a presumptive heir to the throne.
Prince George gets full-time nanny: Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo
March 20, 2014
By Nardine Saad
Prince George has a new nanny: Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, according to Kensington Palace, which identified the little royal's caretaker on Thursday and asked that her privacy be respected. Borrallo, reportedly in her 30s and described as a "Spanish super-nanny," hails from Spain and has been employed by Prince William and Duchess Catherine, the former Kate Middleton, for a few weeks, according to the Daily Mail. "As an employee of the Royal Household we would ask, please, that Maria's privacy, and that of her family and friends, be respected," a palace spokesman said ( via the BBC)

It almost goes without saying that hair is huge business in Hollywood. Healthy, beautifully coiffed and colored locks are a key calling card for those in the spotlight. Exhibit A: Jennifer Aniston's headline-generating honey-blond shag, hyped year after year by fashion magazines as the "best hair in Hollywood. " While jaws flap about First Lady Michelle Obama's bangs or Miley Cyrus' extreme crop, it is something else entirely when the subject moves to supermodel Naomi Campbell's dramatically receding hairline, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's ever-growing part or Prince William's bald spot.
French magazine ordered to hand over Kate Middleton photos
September 18, 2012
By Kim Willsher and Henry Chu, Los Angeles Times
PARIS - Britain's royal family won a legal victory Tuesday when a French court ordered a magazine to hand over photographs of Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, sunbathing topless at a secluded villa in the south of France. The court decreed that Closer, the glossy celebrity magazine that published the "profoundly intimate" pictures, had 24 hours to comply with the order or face a penalty of $13,000 for every day it delayed in doing so. The court also said the French magazine would be fined $13,000 every time it republished or distributed the offending images.
'Bachelorette' beefcakes in Vilebrequin swim trunks: huh?
June 12, 2013
By Adam Tschorn
I get it. I really do. It's hard to raise brand awareness out there in the ever more cluttered world -- especially when it comes to the fickle and fast-moving apparel business. And it's becoming increasingly clear that on-screen product placement can be an effective way of cutting through some of that clutter. But today's announcement that Vilebrequin , a luxury brand known for its seasonally changing, brightly patterned, quick-drying boxer-short-like men's swim trunks with a retail price point well north of $200, will appear in Monday's episode of "The Bachelorette" (and in what appears to be some kind of beefcake walk-off to boot)
Duchess Kate scores gold in teal dress at Olympics gala
May 11, 2012
By Matt Donnelly
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has been on a sartorial roll this week in London - most recently at a gala celebrating the forthcoming Olympic Games. On the arm of husband Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton dazzled in a teal Jenny Packham creation with a matching clutch and sweeping updo. The Friday gala, "Our Greatest Team Rises," celebrated the countrymen and women who will compete before their own come summer. "You, our Olympians and Paralympians, will inspire people up and down this country, and far beyond its borders," William told the crowd in opening remarks. Earlier in the week, another of Kate's choices definitely inspired fashion bloggers and royal watchers, who were wowed by the cream-colored Roland Mouret dress with a high slit she wore at a Tuesday dinner for the Thirty Club of London. Sure, Kate's sophisticated glamour is an attention stealer, but William knows how to compete: At the Olympics event, he took a jab at younger brother Prince Harry.
Prince Harry returns home
March 2, 2008
From Times Wire Reports
Prince Harry returned home to his relieved father and older brother after a 10-week Afghan tour of duty that security officials fear could now make him a top target for extremists. His body armor hanging loose off one shoulder, Harry, 23, descended the steps of a troop carrier with about 170 other soldiers. He handed some of his gear to his brother, Prince William, and was led by his father, Prince Charles, to a waiting family car. Harry left Afghanistan after details of his deployment were leaked.
Prince Edward Agrees to Stop Filming Royals
October 1, 2001
From Times Staff Reports
Britain's Prince Edward will stop making films about the royal family after his TV company broke media guidelines on filming his nephew Prince William, the company's chairman said. Malcolm Cockren, chairman of Edward's Ardent Productions, said the firm would focus on other features. Prince Charles was described by aides as "incandescent" with rage last week upon learning that Ardent had continued to film in St. Andrews in Scotland, where William, his son, has started college.
Britain's royal baby: Queen Elizabeth II pays a visit
July 24, 2013
By Henry Chu
LONDON -- Queen Elizabeth II checked out the latest upstart angling for her job on a half-hour visit Wednesday to see the infant son born to Prince William and his wife, Catherine, earlier this week. The British monarch is said to be "thrilled" over the birth of the as-yet-unnamed baby, who stands third in line to the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles, the heir apparent, and his father. The newborn is the 87-year-old queen's third great-grandchild and first great-grandson.
William deployed to Caribbean
June 1, 2008
From Times Wire Reports
Prince William is heading to the azure waters of the Caribbean as part of a two-month deployment in the Royal Navy despite his request to be as close as possible to conflict. The assignment, which begins Monday, will see the second in line to the throne spending much of his time trolling the West Indies aboard the Iron Duke, a frigate on hurricane relief duty and counter-narcotics patrol. Officers decided he could learn more in a short time by serving on the Iron Duke than by being sent to the Persian Gulf, where the Royal Navy is engaged in a number of operations.

His roommate, Linus Van Pelt, has already gotten it done...as well as tomorrow's homework assignment, and is currently reading a book from the library that he got for some "light reading". His comfort blanket is not far behind...rather...he's wearing it as a homemade sports coat (as he'd promised he'd do as a child years ago). There's a knock on the door.)

Mr. Hoover: The picture couldn't be MORE Clear....A vote for HIlliary is an extension of the Obama presidency and the abysmal failures across the board. The woman lied under oath. The woman grossly mishandled classified information and even if she can hide behind senior law enforcement officials and not get prosecuted, she should not be trusted to hold a security clearance. Politicians will say ANYTHING to get elected to retain power. And this woman is an elitist who is out of touch and completely disqualified from being the President of the United States. The woman thinks she is untouchable and that the laws of this country simply don't apply to her. That is how she acts. She doesn't know what is best for this country and what is most sickening is that her campaign and political party coerced to plot against a primary rival in order to obtain/secure the nomination - that's Venezuelan politics....and to think after that came to light that there are Bernie Sanders supporters who now support this woman....says a lot about liberalism in general. 10 trillion dollars of debt accrued in 8 years under Obama and they called Bush the "most fiscally irresponsible President of our era". Hilliary's ideas ALL involve spending more money and to do that those that work...the "working class"...as she refers to us...will obviously be taxed MORE not less. The government doesn't produce anything so in order to pay for ANYTHING they have to increase taxes OR print money. The latter will have a devastating effect on the world economy as QE has for the past 6 years. Cant say that I like Trump. But Hilliary Clinton as president would spend America to financial ruin. And Hilliary Clinton does not know how to make decisions under pressure with regard to military action. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to sell my country down the toilet by casting my vote for hilliary clinton. And I hope when Trump is elected his Justice Department prosecutes her for at the very least - perjury.

Nationalism has its basis in a sense of unity among a certain group of people; this is formed by a common identity based on a common language, history, culture, ethnicity, or religion.
Nationalism developed in different areas for a variety of different reasons that are unique to the aspirations of each nationalist group. Nationalist movements often led to violence because of their tendency to conflict with the views of ruling empires.
Nationalism in Europe:
- The French Revolution and Napoleon's conquests sparked the thought of nationalism in many European countries
- Rose also as a need to become independent states
- In France, it rose from the need to find a different form of government from that of a monarchy
|The Storming of the Bastille on July 14,1789 is an example of nationalistic acts by the French to get rid of the monarchial rule
- The rise of the Enlightenment ideas helped to encouraged the nationalism and self-expression of the nation
- Nationalism was seen as a way to get rid of foreign rule or a form of government not liked by the people
- Nationalism wasn't about support for your ruler but rather support for your "fatherland"
- Serbia was the first national state after its movement in 1804-1817
- Greece followed Serbia after an 8 year war (1821-1829) with the Ottoman Empire
- Belgium gained its independence in 1830 from the Netherlands
- Serbia, Romania and Montenegro gained its independence in 1878 in the Congress of Berlin
- Nationalism reached its peak in Europe in 1848
- There were multiple effects:
-economic problems
-discrimination towards ethnic and other groups
-decline of elite groups
-Xenophobia (a dislike and/or fear of that which is unknown or different from oneself)
-a need for a change in form of government
- In Germany, Habsburg, Hungary and other places, people began to form nationalist groups that were more exclusive and violent.
- Groups, like the Jewish, faced discrimination and the Zionist Organization was formed to push them into Palestine.
- In Russia nationalism was caused by the growing gap between the rich elite and poor commoners.
- The increase was caused by the need to catch up technologically during the period of the industrial revolution.
- Eventually the tension led to the Russian Revolution in 1905.
- Some effects of this revolution were:
-falling behind economicly because of worker strikes
-the establishment of a constitutional monarchy
-the creation of the State Duma
-the Russian Constitution of 1906
|kids killed by the famine
- Nationalism in Russia led to chauvinism(biased devotion to any group, attitude, or cause) and anti-semitism (discrimination against or prejudice or hostility toward Jews)
- Jews were prosocuted in pogroms and lynched constantly during the reign of Nicholas II
- Groups like The Black Hundred and Union of the Russian People constantly persecuted Jews with the excuse that they practiced blood libels
- These groups went by the motto "Russia for the Russians"
|Russian pogrom in Kishinev 1903
- Austria used nationalism as an advantage by using it to form Austria-Hungary
- Later Austria evolved Hungarian nationalism into Austri-Hungary imperialism
-a lot of Austrians wanted seperation from Hungary and unification with Germany
Nationalism in the Middle East:
- The Ottoman empire was vast and multi-cultural empire with possession of lands in Egypt, the middle east, and eastern Europe.
- Nationalistic efforts from lands in eastern Europe created independent national states
- Economic difficulties put the Ottomans under European capitulations which ottomans hated
- Led to the spread of European ideas and influence groups to be made for reform (enlightenment ideas and constitutional foundations of western Europe for Tanzimat)
- Tanzimats gained power and changed government trying to get rid of captiluations
- Religious conservatives opposed the Tanzimat because they still wanted an empire of Islamic foundation
- Thought being equal to Jews and Christians were against the principles of Islamic law
- Exiled Ottomans in Paris in 1889 formed the Young Turk Party used european inventions to spread their message
- Inspired a coup and established a constitutional monarch
- Arab nationalism developed under the rule of the Ottoman empire because they felt the need to return to "true Islam" which would lead to freedom from the empire and new government
- Arabs believed the influences from the west accepted by the Ottomans were unnatural and corrupt
- Africans went through nationalism as a way to unite against the European
- Nationalism in Africa occured after the imperialization of it by the Europeans
- Sometimes nationalism was seeked violently which led to guerrilla wars
- Seeked help from the USSR, Cuba and China to but they were unable to provide enough support to Africans
Nationalism in Europe and the Middle East most often developed as an ethnic, religious, or cultural group faced a problem such as discrimination, poor government, or pressure from a ruling empire. Nationalism requires a common identity but what allowed it to completely come forward was a common state of suffering and an aspiration to do something about it. The desire for change is what led to the organization of nationalist groups who fought for their common cause.

Vauxhall unveiled a concept two seater car which is an all-electric commuter called the RAKe.
The two seater Concept Vauxhall RAKe is a car Governments may look at backing if they do decide to ban cars from city centres to help with the drive for cleaner motoring and Vauxhall will be ready. This plan could not only see cars band from city centre but all modes of transport that use combustion engines in city centres could be replaced by fleets of small electric vehicles like the two seater Vauxhall RAKe.
Nick Reilly President of General Motors Europe said the two seat Vauxhall RAKe is the perfect solution for crowded cities, but the government must invest more and support the development, or run the risk of firms in such places as China leaving Western firms trailing behind. Reilly also said that this type of car would be perfect for the car sharing and rental systems like the popular bicycle scheme in central London. And all of this could be looked after by a large company such as Avis who manages large fleets every day, drivers could gain access to the vehicles via a London Oyster card type of system.
Mr. Reilly also added that Vauxhall needs to be ready for when the Governments pushes for tougher emission controls, and he believes the Vauxhall RAKe is a good enough concept which they can use to help gain all important government backing.

All vehicles supplied are brand new Lease Cars which are delivered free of charge and come with free car tax for the full lease duration.

Product Description:
IN COLD BLOOD is Richard Brooks' stylish and powerful 1967 drama adapted from Truman Capote's novel about a shocking real-life murder case. This daring cinematic portrait employs flashbacks to fully examine what drives an individual to commit thoughtless and brutal crimes, while using a highly innovative jazz score by Quincy Jones to capture the moody atmosphere. Capote's own role as researcher-narrator of the young criminals' intense friendship, fantasies, and troubled lives is effectively brought to the screen in this striking, groundbreaking drama.
Two aimless drifters, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), target the home of Kansas businessman Herbert Clutter. After breaking into the house, they find no money, and Smith and Hickock brutally kill the entire Clutter family. They escape the scene of the crime and head for Mexico, but they eventually go back to the States, ultimately returning to Kansas. After being chased for almost a year, the troubled drifters are captured and sentenced to death.

Production Notes:
- Theatrical release: December 14, 1967.
- Richard Brooks was determined to bring a realistic feeling to the screen, so he filmed in the actual locations of the murder and surrounding town--including in the Clutter house, where the murders took place, and the actual courtroom. Nancy Clutter's horse, Babe, was even used in a few scenes, and the hangman in the movie is the actual hangman who executed the real Hickock and Smith.
- Brooks also fought against Hollywood conventions and studio Columbia Pictures in order to film in black and white and to cast relative unknowns Robert Blake and Scott Wilson in the lead roles.
- Filming through a window, cinematographer Conrad Hall encountered a startling accidental effect of water running down the window, giving actor Robert Blake the appearance of tears his character would never shed. This accident created what would become one of the film's most memorable and devastating shots.

It still seems like some grotesque joke, which would have been compounded by the spectacle of Nick Ross appealing on Crimewatch for help in catching the killer of his erstwhile co-presenter. Sensibly, the programme was pulled, even though it might have helped. It was jarring enough watching Martyn Lewis - the apostle, don't forget, of good news - announcing Dando's death on the Six O'Clock News (BBC1), another programme she used to present. And then there was Kate Adie's report from outside her house. And the comprehensive tribute ordered by ITV executives, who must have rather resented her enormous popularity, presented by Trevor McDonald. The bewildering, distressing irony of it all.
I don't propose to add too many more column inches to those already devoted to Dando's murder (just referring to her as Dando feels irreverent verging on blasphemous; on news bulletins and in headlines she has become plain, sainted Jill). I certainly don't wish to expose myself to the politically correct pieties of those who believe that the response to one woman's death has, in the light of the Balkans war, been disproportionate. That, as one letter to a national newspaper idiotically put it, it is insensitive to talk of news of Dando's death as "a bombshell".
If anything, the Dando murder dropped too soon down the running orders, as political and moral sensibilities overtook the instinct to lead with the news in which the nation was most interested. In any case, we have been hearing that it might even be linked to the war; that, as the face of BBC News, she might have been executed by a Serb assassin in revenge for the Nato attack on a Serbian TV station. Has the world gone mad? Or, as a racially motivated nail-bombing campaign gathers momentum, is it just England?
In Modern Times: Think of England (BBC2), Martin Parr wandered through the land, from Blackpool promenade to Henley Regatta to the Cerne Abbas village show, asking people for their definition of Englishness. At a motorway service station, an elderly man said: "We've got all the beautiful things of the world here in England, all you've got is a load of filth abroad ... we're too easy-going with the blacks ... send a few of them out of the country a bit." Next to him, his son chuckled at the old man's bluntness. Parr, I imagine, was pleased to have a bit of racism in the can.
On Blackpool prom, he got a bit more. "Too many immigrants here," chirped a burly young man, before being upstaged by a black woman, who said how much she loved England as the young man skulked in the background. It looked good but meant nothing. Parr's film edged us no closer to a definition of Englishness, and there was, moreover, a whiff of condescension about it - you could almost see people being engulfed by waves of BBC intellectual superiority. Actually, the most effective thing Parr could have done was to have turned the camera on himself. If Englishness means anything it is self-absorption, an obsession with our own traits and eccentricities. Cliff Michelmore and Alan Whicker were presenting the same programme aeons ago - probably from Blackpool prom, Henley and the Cerne Abbas show.
Still, there were some glittering nuggets in this pile of unoriginality. "I've got a little car, I've got a little house, I've got a little wife, I've got three little kids and I've got a nice little job," said the man who runs the trampolines on Hunstanton beach, a little Englander if ever there was one. In Bridport, Dorset, a teenager moaned about the lack of things to do. "It's crap here ... there isn't even a McDonald's ... you've got to go all the way to Yeovil." I'm not surprised that line made the final cut. For smug metropolitans like me, and I dare say Parr, who have always considered Yeovil to be at the end of a B-road from the back of beyond, it was heaven-sent.
Heaven loomed large in The Passion (BBC1), the first in a three-part drama set in a Devon village probably not too far from Bridport, but a place which conquers boredom by annually mounting a series of medieval mystery plays. Gina McKee played Ellie, a happily married costume designer for whom the sight of Jesus (played by Paul Nicholls, the star who rose in the east, or at any rate in EastEnders) in his loincloth was one temptation too far.
There were some nice touches in Mick Ford's script, as when Nicholls, playing a supposedly professional actor hired in London, was introduced to his fellow cast members - "Jesus, Satan ... Satan, Jesus." There were also some flaws. A child of at least five was described as a toddler, and those of us with five-year-old children know they are nearer teenagers than toddlers.
Also, given that his character was supposed to have had a globe-trotting childhood, it was never altogether clear where Nicholls got his Blackburn accent from. Maybe there was supposed to be some religious mystique about it. I was certainly mystified by the invisible rock band which played during his midnight swim. On the other hand, it's worth remembering that when Alfred Hitchcock insisted he wanted no music to accompany his film Lifeboat, on the basis that people would wonder where the music was coming from in the middle of the ocean, the studio's music department head said, "Just ask Mr Hitchcock where the camera comes from, and I'll tell him where the music comes from."
On the whole, I enjoyed The Passion, but in any case, who am I criticise? As Jeremy Paxman put it in the final of University Challenge (BBC2), "Which scourge of performers did Brendan Behan describe as being like eunuchs in a harem - they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they are unable to do it themselves?" Critics, obviously. To have been remotely challenging, the question should have started, "Who compared critics to eunuchs in a harem ...?" Another question went, "In the film Muriel's Wedding, the heroine is obsessed by the music of which Swedish group?" Unamazingly enough, it was Abba. Either I am getting smarter or University Challenge is being dumbed down. Probably the latter. I was sent a tape of the final - won, incidentally by the Open University - boldly labelled "University Challange".
And so to a graduate, magna cum laude, of the university of life. The story of Diana Dors was told - interminably, over two nights - in The Blonde Bombshell (ITV). Keeley Hawes played the young Diana, Amanda Redman the older version. Hawes is a fine actress, but wasn't quite right in this. There were, in fact, scores of flaws in the Hawes Dors. Above all, she was too posh, more cut-glass than hour-glass. Redman was more convincing as the older version, although her cleavage never looked, as did the real thing, as though it might conceivably be hiding Lord Lucan. For my generation, Diana Dors is memorable only for her appearances alongside Pat Coombs and Arthur Mullard on Celebrity Squares, by which time she was more beer- glass than hour-glass.
Sadly, the production was badly served by Ted Whitehead's script, which was a spectacular triumph of cliche over content. The Hawes Dors had only to pucker her lips for bowler-hatted bailiffs and trilby-hatted reporters to fall at her feet. Hats played a big part in this production. And if ratings climbed for Tuesday's second instalment, I will eat mine.

In keeping with our habit, we set off early again today. We had done some research about the Duomo last night and found that the free cathedral didn't open until 10am. However, the Cupola (dome) and bell tower opened at 8.30. We decided to buy tickets and visit the dome. We left a little later than planned but it all worked out well. We packed our bags and had some breakfast before leaving. We then walked just across the road to the ...

We were totally wrong and felt very deflated when we got the bill of our simple lunch of a panni each, bottle of coke and a sparkling water costing €47. The bottle of coke alone was €6 plus a service fee, that is roughly $10 Aussie currency. I appealed to the manager, he laughed off my ignorance at the prices so decided to do what all good Aussies would and told him how **** it ...

Caroline has been here before, but for the Wearn males it's the first time. Well, Rome certainly delivers.

Had the italian coffee experience waiting for shuttle - order and pay, move down the counter, pick up, drink and go. Great coffee and atmosphere. Drive ...

benveyrak replied to honeyball's topic in Ford KA / StreetKA ClubHi! Do you want it in french or english? If you can wait until September, I can send you a copy of mine by mail, it's not so big, only a few pages. It's talking about the new fuses, how to remove and wash the top, how to change lights, and the engine caracteristics. Where are you in France?

benveyrak replied to martind's topic in Ford KA / StreetKA ClubHi! I'm french so excuse me for my poor english. you can check this website: http://www.comptoirducabriolet.com/boutiqu...x.php?cPath=149 It's a french website, they are building rear windows for convertibles or complete tops, it's very good quality, and it fit perfectly the car. (I have bought them a complete soft top for an old suzuki vitara).If I remember well, you can find a rear window for 80€, and maybe you can have it tinted. Hope it can help you B) Ben
benveyrak posted a topic in New Member IntroductionsHi everybody, I'm Ben, I'm French so excuse my poor English. I'm currently driving a 2003 blue Ford Streetka, with the optional hard top during winter. I think it's the equivalent model of the luxury in Great Britain, because I have heating leather seats, 6CD player, AC. Even if I had several problems with this car, I really love it! when I get it last October, it has 36000km, and now it has 66000km, I have spent 4 months in Italy with this car, it was wonderful time! I'm writing here because there's just a few streetka's in France and no club, or anything like this. Stop talking, here are some pictures...
