Indian mobile-phone operator Reliance Communications said third-quarter consolidated net profit slumped 57% to 4.8 billion rupees ($105.22 million) from 11.08 billion rupees a year earlier, as it shifted its focus from low-margin businesses, and finance charges and a sharp rise in expenses weighed.

I love it, I love it, I love it!
Maraming salamat (Thank you), denyerec!
Uhmm, that was me *points above*. Was excited that I forgot to login. :|
Absolutely dead right Chuckg, the changes have been made and are now in the normal download file. Thanks for the heads up!
Anyone who's installed the hack should download the new version from the same URL and simply upload the new amazoninfo.php over their old one.
Links to your blogs guys so I can see it in action! :)
Without creating too much trouble, I am using it in my WuhWuh Version 0.1 (WW for short) You can view it at http://dinki.mine.nu/wp/
whu whu? whuzzah! methinks I must try diz whu whu stuff!
only a photblog/gallery (ala denyerec) hack missing afacs?
vewwy niceah!
First of, thanks!! :)
Now, a few suggestions, how about making the title and author editable when you click edit? Also, how about adding more cats, like Electronics, etc.. or allowing us to add our own cats?
This is a great hack, saves me a lot of trouble! :D
The reason editing titles and authors is unavailable is one steeped in my own internally twisted logic. Technically, there should be no need for it, yet something says there is.
As for categories, it started out as a "What I'm reading" hack and matured into what I'm reading, listening and watching hack. I never thought to have "What I'm selling" or "What I'm currently using", though it's perfectly possible.
Possible problems stem from the regional nature of goods like that, though I'd have to look into how amazon organise it. Certainly something for 1.2.
If my tired brain reminds me correctly, the nbsp LI item is used as a spacer (The value $tbet). If you don't like the way information is presented, take a look at the AMAZONINFO.PHP file, right down at the end.
With even a little PHP knowledge it is easy to modify the output part of the function, I believe I highlight the relevant part of the code with comments.
Kind regards,
This is a great hack, but I have an itsy bitsy question.
How much does/would Amazon like this? At this point, I'm sure they don't really care, and I'm also sure that they have so much bandwidth that a couple wordpress users don't bother them at all.
But morally/ethically/whatever, how good of an idea is it to be hotlinking images off of Amazon? I loathe it when people hotlink off of me (why I have it turned off), but I think a big part of that is I don't have much bandwidth to begin with.
So, I guess my question is, would Amazon get really pissy about this hack hotlinking their images?
When you use "build a link" in the Amazon associates section of their site, the links they build for you link directly to Amazon for the images...so I'm thinking no, they won't care, particularly if it's an associate doing the linking.
No, they don'y mind. Because your sending them business and advertising their products for them on your site.
*bump for those who never get past page one ;)
BTW I used it at http://jermexpress.com and I blogged about the script along with a link back to your site a few days ago.
When are you releasing 1.2? Could we pleeeease get more categories? :) Also editting the items would help, cuz sometimes I do it in a hurry and left them the way they were parsed off the Amazon site, which is too much information sometimes for my very narrow column! ;p
An email I received this morning urged me to point out that you don't have to call Get_Media() just the once. In fact, I originally started with a function per media type, but combined it to allow for more flexibility.
If you wish, you can of course call GetMedia once for books, again for DVD's and again for Music, if you so desire.
You could even call it once for recommended books, and once for a random non recommended book. The function is very flexible and isn't limited to being called once.
As for 1.2, I'm incredibly busy at the moment but the thought is there. I may well, as a short term hack, add an "others" category just to ease the people who want to add iPods to their lists ;)
As for item editing, again, that will go in as/when I get the chance to update.
Kind regards,
I'm having a small problem and I hope someone can help. I've uploaded, edited, and the table was added successfully.
In my index.php I have added the "include('amazoninfo.php');", but where do I put the "get_media(7);" code? I have tried adding it to my index.php but as your can see on my site, it doesn't insert the picture of my added media, it just shows "get_media(7);". http://csoves.net/bloggie/index.php
If anyone could help me figure this out I would appreciate it. :D
Try this

Media:
<?php get_media(7); ?>
that worked! thanks so much!!!
I did a search, and did not see if anyone else had posed this question. If I am just blind and simply missed it, forgive me, and just point me to that url.
Okay, I am loving having this plugin randomly display a media item in my navigation. Awesome idea. What if I want a section of my site called "Library"? Is there an include I can use that will display all the books in my AMM? And if so, is it possible to have a "sort by author", "sort by title", etc.? And then to only display, say... 20 on the page with prev/next links?
I would greatly appreciate hearing back on this. If it is not possible yet, do you think it can be included in an upcoming version? I'd be your best friend! ;)
i guess the answer is a no? hehe.
(or am i just impatient?) :)
20 on a page with prev/next?? That sounds like a storefront, not a blog! ;)
I'm sure he could add something like that, given free time.. :)
haha. no intention of selling really, and it's even still using denyerec's associate id. haha. it was more for jsut displaying what was in my library for sheer narcissism's sake, i suppose. i forgot about them all being linked to amazon - which i guess would make it a storefront. i suppose i don't want to make it appear i'm selling a bunch of books, so i guess that i don't really need it. i just wanted to be able to display all my books just for fun. oh well. :)
Hi there,
I've been away and unable to check the WP forums for a little while, hence the delay.
I am considering adding the ability to list all stored media and generated links (Without images), but so far am still decided on the best way to do it.
Without heavy modification of the WP index.php file it won't be possible to have it print its contents where news articles would normally be. Although I have modded my own site this way to create my articles and FAQ system, I want to keep AMM as simple as possible.
It would be relatively easy to display all the items in your AMM using the existing Get_Media function. You'd have to customise the output a little, but it should not be too hard. Oh, and specify to print 100 items or suchlike, but this would bloat the blog's sidebar unecessarily.
I'm not too sure how to go about adding "sections" to a WP blog yet, I'll have an investigate and get back to the thread on this one.
yeh, generated links without images is just fine. all i need really. i just wanted to be able to display my entire collection without having to hand code it all in.
but this is not a huge priority on my checklist so no rush or anything. i just thought it'd be a cool section to have to the site.
If you examine the end of the AMAZONINFO.PHP file you will find a large comment block explaining how to produce your own customised output.
If you then call the Get_Media() function (Once, or one time for each media type) with a large number (Say 9999) as the "number of items to extract" you can quite happily generate a large list of all your items.
For instance... You could use this in the amazoninfo.php file to format the output as a simple list:
echo $tbef.''.$ae_itemtitle.' - '.$ae_authors.$taft;
Then from within your template, you could have something akin to this:
My Books!
<?php Get_Media(1,9999)?>
Which would spew out your first 9999 books... Play around with it and see how far you get :)
so is this just like the mood and music hack?
Like current music: and it'll show the albulm and link u to buy it @ amazon?
if it isn't then could it be made to?
It's for storing and displaying a list of books, movies and CD's you've read or listened to recently, and displaying them in a variety of ways. Yes, is supports amazon associate click-thoughs.
I'm a bugger for writing things before checking out whether they exist already, so it may be similar to the hack you describe.
I noticed how this covers books, movies, and music...
However, I'm a gamer, as well, and don't want to mix games into the DVDs / Books / CDs.
Unfortunately, my coding skills are double-extra-super-mega limited, in the sense that I wouldn't know how to modify it to add a category for video games.
Would this be added in a future version (or) Would there be anyone capable or willing to add this to the script and/or show me how?
Thanks. I had to do some tweaking, but I think it will work for what I want to do. Just need to add my ISBNs in. :)
This is a GREAT add-on! It should be included in the default install, imho.
Anyone figured out a way to center the item images? I would like to center the image without centering the text underneath, but I just can't figure out how :-(
It would also be nice if there were a way to change the style of the text under the images. I've hacked at mine until I finally got a CSS style set for the entire entry, but it would be nice to be able to set one style for the title, one for the author, one for the comment, etc.

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) - A Wisconsin judge has set separate trials for parents accused of reckless homicide for praying instead of taking their 11-year-old daughter to a doctor as she died of undiagnosed diabetes.
Marathon County Judge Vincent Howard set Leilani Neumann's trial to begin May 14 and her husband Dale's for July 23.
The Neumanns' daughter, Madeline, died on Easter Sunday at their home in Weston, Wisconsin.
Prosecutors say the girl was too weak to speak, eat, drink or walk and the parents had a legal duty to seek medical care instead of just praying for her.
The maximum punishment for the charge is 25 years in prison.

Russell-Cooke's fraud and criminal litigation team acted in the appeal against the extradition of Mirko Zdinjak to the Republic of Croatia for offences including Genocide and War Crimes during the Balkans War. The case, led by Eva Akins, involved numerous complex issues of international law. A comprehensive range of arguments were advanced as to why extradition would be wrong these included: double jeopardy; abuse of process; the oppressive nature of any prosecution; passage of time; the reliance on extraneous considerations and incompatibility with Article 6 of the European Convention (Right to a Fair Trial).
Over 95% of all persons subject to extradition requests are extradited. The Judgement in this case was that extradition would be wrong by reason of the rule against double jeopardy. This provides in essence that a person cannot usually be tried twice for the same crime. The decision may have wide reaching ramifications for other cases involving the former Yugoslavia and other conflict zones. An important aspect of the case was the significance of post war amnesties which often form part of the long term process of reconciliation and stabilisation.

They work up SUPER fast and they're very snuggly and warm. I think the hook I used was a bit large (N/10mm) instead of an (M/9mm), but that's my bad because I didn't check the gauge. Still awesome results, though!

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
John Hogan has an interesting interview with Adam Johnson, who runs the Stanford Graphic Novel Publishing Program. Every year, the students choose a nonfiction story and divide up into teams to create a graphic novel about it, working in groups to draft, thumbnail, draw, and produce the comic.
This year, the students chose the story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who through either spectacularly bad or good luck, depending on how you look at it, survived both the atomic bomb blasts at Hiroshma and Nagasaki. Yamaguchi, who worked for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, when the first bomb was dropped; the next day, he returned to his home in Nagasaki, which was bombed two days later. He was literally describing the Hiroshima bombing to a colleague when the same thing happened again. Ironically, Yamaguchi had been despondent over the war and was contemplating killing himself and his family if Japan were to lose, but after the bombings, he never looked back.
Johnson said that working with a true story forced the students to resolve problems with the narrative in creative ways:
I loved how, after the second bomb, Mr. Yamaguchi said he was unconscious for a week. Since our story was in the first person, present tense, a move the writer's chose to help the reader sympathize with Yamaguchi's story, we were in a narrative trap. But the students decided to switch to the perspective of his wife, Hisako, and the result was one of the more moving, poignant chapters of the graphic novel.
The finished product, titled Pika Don (Flash-Boom), was self-published, but Johnson would like to see it picked up by a publisher to reach a larger audience.
College students doing a project about how evil America is. Shocking
It's nice to know that some people automatically think that one of the most horrific things we've ever done as a country is calling us "evil." Sorry man, that's HISTORY. We did it. It's not a lie, it's not opinion, it's fact. I, for one, am very interested in this project and hope they find a publisher.
Hmmm I don't remember the word 'evil' being used at all. History doesn't choose sides, it just is.
History doesn't choose sides, it's just written by the winners.
Yeah, this sounds like it has nothing to do with whether the bombs were good or evil, but about a man depressed enough to kill himself who finds a reason to live after surviving when thousands around him didn't. Consider my interest piqued.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong here, but can't figure out the solution. I'm attempting to use CFT in a CMS for a portfolio site, calling thumbnail images that link to the full portfolio image in lightbox. Here's the code I have:
<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, "portfolio_image", true)) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "portfolio_image", true); ?>" rel="lightbox[<?php the_ID(); ?>]">
<img src="<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, "portfolio_thumbnail", true)) { ?><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "portfolio_thumbnail", true); ?><?php } ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php } ?>
Instead of getting an image, I'm only getting the alt for the link and the lightbox just spins. I know that the images have been uploaded through CFT, so they're definitely there, but I also realize I'm not calling them up correctly.
Would appreciate any help I could get.

The Divine Miss M has some divinely elegant digs.
Bette Midler took Architectural Digest inside her penthouse apartment for its June issue, and the photos are as glamorous as the triple threat herself. Overlooking Central Park's reservoir and featuring an expansive terrace, Midler's pad has a cozy, crafty feel despite its glamorous location on Fifth Avenue.
"My mother was a really great seamstress, really brilliant," Midler told the magazine. "Because of her I've been crazy about textiles all my life. And my father painted houses for a living. I grew up around people who worked with their hands, so I love how you can see the care and affection that craftsmen pour into their creations."
Midler lives with husband Martin von Haselberg in the sun-filled triplex, which was originally two units before being remodeled by Los Angeles architect Frederick Fisher and decorated by Fernando Santangelo.
"If you live in the kind of apartment that most people do, you'd want to sit on a park bench, too," Midler says. "I lived that way for years when I moved to New York."

Religious sects and cults that conceive of themselves as serving a higher, sacred purpose will, almost inevitably, end up believing that they're above the law.

The Hypocrisy of Tolerance at the Touro Synagogue
I'm on vacation this week in New England. Yesterday I visited the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island - the oldest Jewish synagogue in North America, dating back to the colonial era. It was founded by Jews fleeing a long history of persecution in Europe: first the Alhambra Decree expelling them from Spain, then the Inquisition, which harried them from Portugal to the Caribbean. They settled here in Newport and built a synagogue, which survived the Revolution, when most of the city was … [Read more...]
The Crushing Burden of Religious Sex Guilt
This week, there was a lengthy profile of Bat Sheva Marcus, a Jewish sex counselor who helps Hasidic Jews with intimacy problems in their marriages. Marcus is merely Orthodox, rather than ultra-Orthodox like most of her clients: she "sometimes wears pants", and though her synagogue has segregated men's and women's sections, they're side-by-side rather than consigning women to the back. (By ultra-Orthodox standards, this is straying dangerously close to anything-goes liberalism.)As in other … [Read more...]

Search for CFA Dean Set to Begin
High praise offered for ad interim leader
Boston University will soon begin a search for a dean for the College of Fine Arts. In a letter sent last Thursday to CFA faculty and staff, University Provost David Campbell said that in the next few weeks he will assemble a search committee and select a professional search firm to help the committee identify potential candidates.
Campbell had high praise for the leadership of CFA Dean ad interim Walt Meissner (CFA'81), noting that Meissner has recruited strong leaders for the college's three schools, hired outstanding faculty members, generated funding for crucial new facilities, created a vibrant dean's advisory council and an engaged alumni group, and undertaken important administrative restructuring to enhance the operations of the college.
"All of us at Boston University owe Walt a debt of gratitude," said Campbell. "We are grateful for his steadfast commitment to CFA's students, faculty, and staff and for his continuing valuable service to the college."
President Robert A. Brown also lauded Meissner's accomplishments. "In his role as ad interim dean, Walt Meissner has done a terrific job moving the College of Fine Arts forward in its educational mission," he said. "He also has created a vision for, and implemented the first steps toward, the renewal of the facilities for CFA."
Brown said the time is right to begin an international search for a leader who, working with the directors of the schools of music, theatre, and visual arts, "will take the college to the next level of excellence and prominence."
Meissner, who has served as CFA dean ad interim since 2002 and was CFA associate dean for administrative affairs from 1993 to 2002, says the announcement of the search was "very good news."
"I'm proud of what has been accomplished at the College and believe in its bright future," Meissner says. "I look forward to CFA's continued growth in artistic excellence and prominence, and remain committed to its success."
In a message to CFA faculty, Meissner wrote that the goal of the University is to position the College of Fine Arts to continue to leverage and build upon its significant academic and artistic strengths.
Patricia Mitro, a senior assistant dean who has worked with Meissner throughout his tenure, described him as a committed leader.
"It's wonderful to work with Walt," said Mitro. "He is devoted to creating an environment where students and faculty can do their very best work."
Campbell said the search committee would be composed, in accordance with faculty guidelines, of three CFA faculty members elected by the CFA faculty, two faculty members from outside CFA elected by the Faculty Council, as many as three members designated by the provost, and as many as two students designated by the provost.
Once the search committee is in place, said Campbell, members will consult with faculty, staff, and students to develop a candidate profile. He expects the University to appoint a dean by September 2010.

The building in Chulia street is very nice and is well located. Originally an Indian merchants house it was changed into a Chinese style hotel in the 20th century. A backpacker haunt for many years it has recently been moved seriously upmarket. Rooms are small but nicely furnished except for a very creaky bed. It simply isn't worth the premium you pay to stay here (about double the Cititel rate). Wifi is free but a hit and miss affair...........sometimes working sometimes not. .......maybe working in the room or you have to go to the cafe.
The breakfast is only OK although they do have a wide variety of local delights. My main gripe is why the hell do I have to endure chicken ham and turkey bacon? This is a Chinese owned and styled hotel and Malaysia ain't a muslim country. The usual hypocrisy though..........they serve alcohol!
Service levels are OK although nothing exceptional and for the price I want "exceptional". An interesting experience but perhaps one night is all that's worth paying for.
Lastly, you need earplugs in order to sleep. The hotels proximity to the city centre means revving motorbikes at all hours and the mosque screaming at 6am.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Yeng Keng Hotel is a 20-room restored heritage boutique hotel located in one of the oldest surviving and intact 19th-century buildings at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town, Penang. Like many of the other buildings in the neighbourhood, it was originally built in the mid 1800's as a private residence. The Anglo Indian bungalow belonged initially to Shaik Eusoffe bin Shaik Latiff an Indian Muslim family and remains unique in Chulia Street for not being relegated to the rear of a row of shop-houses blocking its facade. In 1897 trustees of the Cantonese Club 'Ying Han Pit Shu' bought the building on behalf of the association, later donating it to the trustees of the Straits Chinese Building Association in 1939. The building was later leased to Yeng Keng Hotel. The conversion from a residence into a budget hotel was the prevailing trend along the street at the beginning of the 20th century. Small places of lodgings that were conveniently reached from the harbour were in great demand as the traffic in the port grew. An impressive traditional Chinese entrance gate was constructed announcing entry to the 'Lodging House,' adding grandeur to the commercial establishment and to distinguish it from the rest of the buildings on the street. Conservation and upgrading by the present owner, Hoo Kim Properties Sdn Bhd, was undertaken in March 2009 with the renewed Yeng Keng Hotel completed in April 2010. ... more less

This may be a debugger issue, but here goes:
I have this piece of code:
Private Function Connect() As Boolean
sessionBegun = False
connectionOpen = False
rp = New RequestProcessor2()
rp.OpenConnection2("","EZSystem", QBXMLRPConnectionType.localQBD)
connectionOpen = True
ticket = rp.BeginSession("", QBFileMode.qbFileOpenDoNotCare)
sessionBegun = True
Return True
Catch e As COMException
**Throw New QuickBooksConnectionException(e.Message)**
End Try
End Function
My intention is to 'convert' the low level exception into something more meaningful, so I throw an exception of my own creation. I want this to bubble up to a place where I can handle it.
However what is happening is my debugger breaks and tells me that an exception of type "QuickBooksConnectionException" was thrown.
I know that, I just threw it, why are you catching it?
From what I've read, this ought to work, and there doesn't appear to be an analogous Java throws keyword, so perhaps it is my debugger.
I am using SharpDevelop.
Thanks, Dane

Volume 5, Number 1
April 2014
Congratulations to Home CEU Connection for their winning ad "My Dog Ate My CEUs"!
Intersections is the quarterly e-newsletter distributed to ASHA Approved Continuing Education Providers to connect and exchange ideas in order to better accomplish their continuing education activities.
Thirty-five years ago, ASHA first started approving organizations as ASHA CE Providers. In 1979, Jimmy Carter was President, the Steelers beat the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII, and "YMCA" was the top song of the year! The Sony Walkman was also introduced that year and other gadgets that we view as "ancient history" were still on the horizon—Palm Pilots and 3½ inch floppy disks, to name a few.
An ASHA CE advertisement [PDF] will appear in the May issue of The ASHA Leader to celebrate our anniversary. It lets readers know about our 35th anniversary, but also your contribution of providing thousands of informative CE courses that keep our members current and on the cutting edge in their respective fields. The courses you offer afford speech-language pathologists and audiologists both educational and interpersonal enrichment opportunities. It's important for them to learn from experts in the field as well as from each other.
Being an ASHA Approved CE Provider makes you part of an exceptional group of individuals and organizations that are committed to offering high-caliber continuing education courses to speech-language pathologists and audiologists. You understand what these professionals' learning needs are to keep them skilled in their clinical practice and prepared for the future. You "connect" speech-language pathologists and audiologists to outstanding continuing education courses. Over time, diagnostic tools and therapy techniques can become "ancient history," but it's that history on which new tools and techniques are built.
We want to recognize the 33 Providers who have remained ASHA Approved CE Providers for 35 years. It's a remarkable achievement!
Take a look at the new view of the ACE Award now on the ASHA website. It's a great way to promote the ACE to your participants. Feel free to link to this page to encourage members to reach for the ACE.
Congratulations to Amy Weiss, who has taken a new role as chair of the CE Board, and to our new CE Board members: Marcia Clark Adunka, Jennifer Fisher, Richard Hogan, and Emi Isaki. Full biographies for all members are available on the CE Provider home page.
On March 25, 2014, an e-mail broadcast was sent to approximately 5,400 presenters who participated in ASHA conferences last year, including the ASHA Convention, Schools Conference, and the Health Care Business Institute. With the implementation of Requirement 3: Transparency in Course Planning, Delivery and Marketing, all presenters must disclose their relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships related to the course content they are presenting. As an ASHA Approved CE Provider, you are responsible for working with presenters to identify their relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships and to develop their disclosure statements. You are pivotal to this process. It begins and ends with you! Many presenters are still new to disclosure. Our intent in sending this e-mail broadcast is to familiarize them with the purpose of disclosure, their role in the process, and resources. Increasing their understanding of transparency and their contribution to this endeavor will pave the way for you to work with them with greater efficiency.
See the e-mail below.
Dear Colleague:
ASHA Continuing Education has implemented a requirement for individuals (like you) who are presenters for courses offered for ASHA CEUs. All presenters must disclose their relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships related to the course content they are presenting.
The Disclosure Process—What to Expect
How Disclosure Helps Participants
It's highly likely that your particular work experiences and professional relationships influenced the development of your presentation. Often, attendees select courses based on your background and perspective on the presentation topic. Give participants a better understanding of the unique perspective you will bring to your presentation by sharing your bio, your current work and/or research pursuits, and the financial and nonfinancial relationships relevant to the course content.
Learn More...
Resources for course presenters and planners are provided on the ASHA website. We encourage you to use these resources when you are developing your next presentation. You'll find everything from definitions and examples of relevant financial and nonfinancial relationships sample disclosure statements and sample disclosure slides. You can also find out more about the ASHA CE transparency requirement from the ASHA Approved CE Provider that you are working with to plan and deliver a course for ASHA CEUs.
Let your audience know who you are and why your accomplishments and relevant relationships give you the expertise and knowledge that they are looking for in a course presenter. Clear, concise disclosure will help you achieve that!
With so many e-mails from ASHA landing in your inbox, we thought you might like a quick synopsis of the meaning of course registration messages. The e-mail subject line will identify the message (words in bold face type below). Be sure to reply promptly to requests for additional information.
1. Course Registration Materials Received. When a course is entered online and submitted, an e-mail is automatically generated to acknowledge receipt; the course info goes into a holding file. ASHA's Account Managers manually entered the info into our database in the order it was received. If course registrations are mailed or faxed, there will be no e-mail response.
2. Course Registration Info. An e-mail confirms that the registration information was entered into our system and the course was given to your Provider Manager (PM). Because of heavy volume, this process may take approximately 7 work days from the date we receive the initial registration. You'll be contacted via e-mail if we can't enter the registration information or required data is missing.
3. CE Course Information Missing. If critical information needed to register a course is missing, an e-mail will be sent.
4. Additional Info Needed for Course Registration. After your PM reviews your course, an e-mail requesting additional information may be sent. This e-mail will require a response from you. Once all information has been received for the course, the course will be registered.
5. Course Registration Confirmation. The PM confirms that the course is now registered for ASHA CEUs. We ask that you review the information for accuracy and report changes as soon as possible using the online link provided.
6. Additional Offerings Registered. When you use the online form to add offerings, an automated e-mail will confirm receipt of the updates you have made.
Be sure to review ASHA CE's Fee Schedule when you are working on your 2015 budget. You'll want to budget $700 for the 2015 CE Provider annual fee. If your organization conducts cooperative offerings, be sure to note that the cooperative fee will be $325. These changes were first communicated to Providers in the June 2013 Intersections.
It is a situation many CE Administrators have faced: the reporting deadline for a course offering is fast approaching and in a few days reporting would be late. You receive a Due Soon Notification. You quickly gather the report forms and submit the reporting to ASHA CE just in time. That was a close one!
While Due Soon Notifications have been successful in helping CE Administrators meet reporting deadlines, they should not be relied upon as the sole indicator that reporting is due. In most instances, they are e-mailed between 1 and 6 days before the reporting deadline, but it is possible that a CE Administrator will not receive a Due Soon Notification for an offering. It may be filtered out by an e-mail spam filter, or it may not be sent if ASHA's National Office has unexpectedly closed, among other potential scenarios.
Therefore, Providers must have a dependable system to monitor and meet reporting deadlines for all offerings without having to rely on Due Soon Notifications exclusively. Use the Registration Confirmation as a starting point. It is e-mailed to the CE Administrator after a course has been reviewed and registered by ASHA CE. The Registration Confirmation PDF indicates the reporting deadline for each offering, along with other important information. Reporting can be submitted to ASHA CE any time after an offering's end date and before the reporting deadline. This provides a window of 45 days in which reporting can be submitted, so there is no need to wait for the Due Soon Notification e-mail. Submitting reporting as soon as possible will avoid missed reporting deadlines and can prevent errors that are made when reporting is rushed. The goal is to report early and avoid the need for a Due Soon notification.
The answer is yes. There is a common misunderstanding that learning objectives and learning outcomes are one and the same. The distinction between the two often goes unrecognized or is simply not known. The ability to distinguish between objectives and outcomes can ensure that courses submitted to ASHA CE meet ASHA's CE Board requirements.
What is a Learning Objective?
A learning objective identifies the instructional goal of the presenter. An objective may outline the topics that the instructor intends to cover.
What is a Learning Outcome?
A learning outcome defines the skill, knowledge, and/or attitude that the learner should be able to demonstrate following the learning experience. An outcome directly addresses the expectation of the participant.
ASHA CE is invested in CE Approved Providers' writing clear, concise, measurable, and observable learning outcomes. When creating course learning outcomes, consider the following.

NASA to Apollo 14 Astronaut: We Want Our Camera Back
Edgar Mitchell using a camera — that may, or may not be the same disputed camera — on the lunar surface during the Apollo 14 mission (NASA).
Last week, NASA reclaimed a tiny strip of Scotch tape from a Missouri auction house. Why? It had invaluable grains of moon dust stuck to it.
Today, it's being reported that NASA has saved another, slightly bigger Apollo artifact from being auctioned off: one of the cameras from the 1971 Apollo 14 mission.
But how did such a bulky piece of hardware go missing in the first place? Well, it seems ex-astronaut Edgar Mitchell had something to do with that.
WATCH VIDEO: Enjoy our top 5 lunar moments; astronauts singing, dancing and falling over… on the moon!
SEE ALSO: The Case of the Contraband Corned Beef Sandwich
The U.S. Government isn't taking the matter lightly either. In a lawsuit filed in Miami federal court on Wednesday, Mitchell is accused of illegally possessing the camera and attempting to sell it for profit, Reuters reports.
The camera, one of two video cameras carried on board the Apollo 14 lunar module Antares, had a pre-sale estimate of $60,000 to $80,000. The British auction house Bonhams planned to auction the camera as part of a Space History Sale in May, but pulled the "Movie Camera from the Lunar Surface" when the dispute with NASA became known.
The suit points out that "all equipment and property used during NASA operations remains the property of NASA unless explicitly released or transferred to another party," and that NASA had no knowledge of Mitchell being given the camera.
ANALYSIS: Neil Armstrong: What Really Happened on the Moon
Michell's lawyer, Donald Jacobson, disputes this. "Objects from the lunar trips to the moon were ultimately mounted and then presented to the astronauts as a gift after they had helped NASA on a mission," Jacobson said.
According to Jacobson, NASA had approved of Mitchell's ownership 40 years ago.
Mitchell was the Apollo 14 lunar module pilot during the nine-day mission that was commanded by Alan Shepard. He was the sixth man to walk on the moon.
So, did the Apollo legend deliberately pilfer the camera after returning from the moon? Has NASA lost the paperwork that would confirm Jacobson's story? Or were the rules of equipment acquisition a little hazy amidst all the excitement of manned lunar exploration in the early 1970′s?
We'll have to wait and see…
