The Online Education Initiative will greatly expand course offerings for community college students, while making the transfer process between institutions much more smooth. The Initiative has its critics, however, who decry the loss of local control over education.
In an effort to boost graduation rates among community college students in their state, the California Community College Chancellor's Office, with funding from the state legislature, will implement the Online Education Initiative (OEI) this fall. The central tenet of the OEI is to expand course offerings and related online services to help students obtain a degree or facilitate transfer to another California institution for matriculation. For years, budget cuts have greatly impacted the course offerings of the state's community college system, leaving hundreds of thousands of potential students shut out of the system. State education officials hope that this new online portal will open the doors to those students. It is also hoped that expanded access to courses will improve student retention and thus lead to more degrees and certificates being conferred, particularly among underserved and underrepresented populations in the state.
Particulars of the California Community College Online Education Initiative
The OEI will operate under a single delivery modality called the Online Education Ecosystem. This centralized online portal would essentially leverage the power of all member institutions to deliver a highly robust online learning experience that would be difficult for individual institutions to develop and deploy on their own. The system will be built on the existing foundation of the California Virtual Campus, which provides information about online courses offered throughout the state. At present, the system includes 24 of California's 112 community colleges. Each of the 24 institutions is currently engaged in a pilot phase in which
Thanks to modern technology, students can now attend class from the comfort of their homes. While online courses were once deemed inferior to lecture halls, the stigma has seemed to fade as technology advances and becomes a greater and greater part of a standard academic curriculum. The virtual classroom is here, but are online college courses right for you?
The virtual classroom is here, but are online college courses right for you?
Thanks to modern technology, students can now attend class from the comfort of their homes. While online courses were once deemed inferior to lecture halls, the stigma has seemed to fade as technology advances and becomes a greater and greater part of a standard academic curriculum. Students, young and old, now have the choice to pursue online learning, whether through a single class or a full online university course load. But are there benefits to online learning? Or is something lost in translation when education becomes virtual? We examined both sides of the equation with several leading educational professionals.
The Pros of Online Courses
Flexible Learning
A flexible schedule is one of the main benefits of taking online courses. Mary Stephens, Founder and CEO of PrepForward.com, points out that online education "allows individuals to study at their own pace and on their own schedule." Digital "classrooms" can be accessed anywhere, at any time. Mary, who teaches online courses at institutions across the U.S., believes this is a prime benefit to online learning in a world chock-full of so many hectic schedules.
Professor Linda Williams, Founder and CEO of Whose Apple Empowerment Center, goes on to add, "Online courses do not require classroom attendance that can be disruptive to family and career obligations. The basic requirements in the virtual course room are clearly delineated and meeting deadlines can be
As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
In 2012, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a dire warning that if the United States did not boost programming to produce one million more graduates in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), the nation would lose it's status as the leader in those fields. Since then, several national science organizations, including the National Research Council, the National Academies of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering have called on community colleges to lead the charge in STEM education in order to keep up with demand.
High on the list of priorities is preparing students early for STEM studies. Experts agree that children should be exposed to STEM career pathways in elementary school, and should have continued exposure through their middle school and high school years. Classroom experiences are important, but George Boggs, the CEO Emeritus of the American Association of Community Colleges, posits that visits to college campuses, involvement in research opportunities, advanced STEM studies in high school, science fairs, and summer camps are also necessary in order to get schoolchildren excited about careers in STEM.
According to Boggs, another critical component in devising successful STEM programs is developing curriculum articulation between high schools and community colleges to reduce the number of students who have to take remedial courses once they get to college. In math especially, community college students demonstrate a lack of preparedness that serve as a barrier to many of them pursuing careers in a STEM-related field. Additionally, Boggs points out that
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
A recent report by the National Center for the Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research found that employers show little preference between a job candidate with an education from a for-profit institution such as DeVry or the University of Phoenix, and one with an education from a public community college. In a study in which researchers tracked the callbacks to 9,000 fictitious job applications, 11.6 percent of employers responded to applications listing a community college education, while 11.3 percent responded to faux applications of students from for-profit colleges. Companies also requested interviews of community college students more often – 5.3 percent – compared to 4.7 percent for applications listing a for-profit college education.
The fabricated applications were submitted with similar credentials, either an associate's degree, certificate, or some college education, so applicants would not be called because of an imbalance of qualifications. What the study's findings suggest is similar to what other studies on for-profit education have discovered: When it comes to applying for a job, community college students are as much, if not more attractive to employers as students from for-profit schools.
It is important to note that this particular research does not delve deeper into the process of hiring a new employee and only examines employers' initial responses. Differences between a community college-educated applicant and a for-profit college applicant are not accounted for here. However, researchers at Boston University have found that there are negligible labor market benefits for graduates of
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.
Each year students and colleges in the United States spend about $3 billion on remediation. Remedial courses, or college prep courses as they are known at some institutions, are required for students who do not meet pre-determined performance standards for admittance into a college-level course. Most often, community college students who require remediation need it in English or math, or both.
The most recent statistics on the matter are sobering: About half of all community college students are placed in remedial courses, which 40 percent of students never complete. Nearly 70 percent of these students never make it to a college-level math class either. Further compounding the problem is that adjunct faculty members, who typically have the least experience teaching needy populations and often suffer from a general lack of institutional support, teach approximately 75 percent of remedial courses offered at community colleges.
This is a problem seen nationwide. Over 46 percent of college-bound students in Maryland need some form of remediation. In California, the need for remediation lengthens the time students need to attain an associate's degree by one full year and adds 20 credits to their coursework. In Virginia, 77 percent of students in the state's community college system that are referred to remedial math courses do not complete them within three years. All this added coursework causes budgetary concerns for colleges that have to add more and more sections of non-credit courses, and worries employers who are concerned

To say I am perplexed by presidential politics this year (and last year, too, in this long campaign season) would be to understate my bafflement. I don't vote in primaries, so in one sense, it doesn't matter what the candidates are saying and doing right now. Time enough to get excited when the candidates for the general election (still nine-plus months in the distance) have been selected.
Early in my career as a news reporter, I covered stories with a pocket-sized notebook and a couple of ballpoint pens.
Last weekend might have been the coldest of the winter so far, and naturally the second-grade granddaughter woke up on Sunday in Chamberlain and declared it a perfect day for sledding.
A moment that told me something about Gary Munsen's coaching style happened during a game in which he simply stood and looked at his players as they ran the court. He didn't call timeout. He didn't call anyone over to the sidelines. He stood near the bench and looked at the players as the action flowed. He might have had his hands on his hips. I think it was a game in the Corn Palace. Maybe it was against Pierre. That's when I usually saw Mitchell play in the Palace. Whatever the deal, the Kernels were on the negative end of a scoring run. The players seemed confused.
The first vehicle I bought with an on-board gizmos that gives a real-time reading of the outside temperature convinced me Detroit had really outdone itself. I mean, sure, I liked the tail fins on those 1959 Coupe deVilles and the powerful lines of the '58 Impalas. But for a guy later to be addicted to The Weather Channel? What's more fascinating than a device that tells a driver every time the outside temperature changes a degree?
As we grow older and have families, a fair number of us are shocked to discover that we've become our parents. Ever happen to you? You're going along in your day, dealing with the son or daughter, getting exasperated for whatever reason and suddenly you listen to what you've just blurted out. Wow. That's your mom talking. Or your dad. It works both ways.
Long ago, I promised myself (and every other, um, moderately talented prep basketball player out there) that I'd devote a minimum of one column a year to my high-school hard-court career. No time like the New Year to get that out of the way, what with the holiday tournaments and start of college conference play and all. Besides, while LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry get all sorts of media attention, who speaks for Mel Counts and Henry Finkel and Greg Kite?
Because my parents had a deep appreciation for the power of books and the value of reading, my mom let me join several book-of-the-month clubs when I was in high school. To this day, I own some wonderful old books because of my club memberships. When Nancy and I were boxing things up to move from our old house last fall, I emptied books from shelf after shelf in the basement. The need to pause and remember the pleasure I took from reading those books made the task take longer than it should have. Eventually, I had the books packed away.
As the old year winds down, a few notions that never quite made it into a column. Presidential politics I listen to the candidates for the nation's highest office and wonder what happened to restraint and courtesy. My cousin, the monsignor, once said of the writing Woster brothers that, "they never have an unpublished thought.'' Too true, I'm afraid. With most of the current crop of candidates, I listen and think, "I wonder if they know they don't have to verbalize every half-formed thought that crosses their minds.''
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, the Woster household is decorating for Christmas. Yeah, we're stubborn that way. We aren't completely post-Thanksgiving-means-think-Christmas people. For example, Nancy has picked up a few gifts, and we've talked about others. But the turkeys and pilgrims stay out until after Thanksgiving, and we haven't dialed in any holiday music channels yet.

Viv Rattigan, 39
Fitness instructor
pounds 13,000+bonus
Tower Bridge, London
How did it all start?
I used to be a secretary. I've always been a sporty person. I was encouraged to become an instructor while I was a secretary - my trainer told me that my aerobics technique was fairly good. I did some research and thought, why not?
So where do you work?
The Club at County Hall in London, which is in the old GLC building opposite the Houses of Parliament. The gym is enormous, the biggest I've ever seen, with more than 80 pieces of equipment. There are six instructors, two females and the rest are fellas and a fitness manager. It's a friendly team. I really like it.
What do you do at work, apart from causing people pain?
Looking after the gym. Writing fitness programmes. I take a couple of classes each week and also have my own client list of about 13 people who are a mixture of abilities, mostly fellas - the youngest are in their late 20s, the oldest their early 40s.
What kind of classes?
I do a Reebok cycle class where everyone is on a cycle machine and we go for an imaginary ride: a ride along a country lane or the Tour de France. Then there is the body pump class, which uses light to medium weights and high repetitions: great for body toning, shaping and strength. This is done to motivating music. Both classes are mixed; a lot of women go to the body pump class. We work in eight-hour shifts. There are a mixture of long and short weeks.
Doesn't it all get a bit tedious, all that sweating and agony?
Not for me, no. It's important for everyone to enjoy it. If it's tedious then something's wrong. We try hard to find things they enjoy and vary the programmes to break up the monotony. We find out that if a client doesn't like a piece of equipment, it might be because they are not using it correctly.
Are you careful with your food?
Yes, if I'm going to teach somebody to be healthy I've got to eat healthily as well. My diet is fairly good: salads, fruit and vegetables plus lots of carbohydrates. Occasionally I let eating lapse but I try to eat balanced meals. Shift work makes this difficult: eating at midnight is not a good idea. Sometimes we are so busy at work that you don't have time to eat.
What do you find stressful about your job?
We are given projects to complete with deadlines. For instance I was put in charge of a organising a photoboard which entails not only getting everyone's picture taken but also ordering the frames and finding out what qualifications everyone has for the blurb underneath. Changes to timetables can take weeks. But the perk of watching someone achieve the results they want is worth it.
Do you live in central London?
Yes, I rent a nice cosy flat near Tower Bridge. I'm doing it up very slowly. It was all white but I've painted the front room peach and warm yellow in the bathroom. I try to make it as cosy and inviting as possible. I do some entertaining but it is difficult to see anyone with my hours. Nine times out of 10 I fall asleep in front of the telly. As for music, when you have listened to it for eight hours at work you don't want to hear any when you get home.
How do you get to work?
I have a car, a blue Escort, but I use public transport to get to work: a bus to Waterloo then a five-minute walk from there. I live on my own through choice. I don't have any pets or anything like that, there's just me.
Do you get good holidays?
We get four weeks a year. If I have a week off I usually just chill out. In the New Year I'm off to New Zealand to see a good friend.
Better start saving, honey
I know, tell me about it. Like everyone I wish I earned a little more money to afford the finer things. In general fitness instructors are paid badly for what they do and know. If someone my age works in an office they'd earn a lot more than I do. But money isn't everything. I love what I do and I'm happy.

Part One
Sue: Snakedance… Sounds a bit rude.
After briefly glimpsing a Roger Dean album cover ("What the hell was that supposed to be?"), we join the TARDIS in flight. Sue's jaw slackens in disbelief when Nyssa enters the console room dressed in a different outfit.
Sue: Is that the best she could come up with after all this time? She's had ages to think about what she was going to wear, and she still chose that? Don't they have mirrors on the TARDIS? That skirt clashes with her top!
The Doctor: (to Nyssa) You look different.
Sue: (As the Doctor) You smell different, too. I can breathe through my nose for the first time in years.
Elsewhere, Tegan is having a bad dream.
Sue: Why is Tegan sleeping in Nyssa's bedroom? Is there something I should know?
Meanwhile, on the planet Manussa.
Sue: Are we still on Gallifrey?
Me: No.
Sue: Are you sure about that? This looks like another airport departure lounge to me.
A very familiar face is playing Lon.
Sue: Bloody hell, it's Martin Clunes! Is this his first television role?
Me: Yes.
Sue: I always feel a bit queasy when I look at Martin Clunes' face. Good actor, though.
Me: The first person who cracks a 'behaving badly' gag has to do the washing-up for a week.
When Lon makes a passing reference to the Mara, it sails over Sue's head. So I rewind the scene.
Sue: The Mara. Oh yes, I remember now. The two-headed snake.
Me: No! The Mara is the giant pink snake with one head. Kinda, remember?
Sue: Kinda.
Me: That'll do.
On Manussa, Lon is reminiscing with his mother.
Sue: The costumes are all over the place. There's a bit of Rome over there, a bit of India over here, and a hint of Russia, too. There's no consistency.
The Doctor suspects that the Mara is hiding inside Tegan's head, so he hypnotises her. The voice of the Mara tells the Doctor to go away.
Sue: That was pretty scary. It's a good job this didn't happen when she was working as a stewardess. (as Tegan-Mara) Chicken or beef?
Meanwhile, Lon decides to tour the local market place.
Sue: They are really pushing the boat out with this set. It's just a shame we are stuck in a studio.
Me: Maybe it's an indoor shopping centre?
Sue: Maybe. It reminds me of a David Tennant story, but I'm sure they went outside for that one.
The Doctor hooks Tegan up to an anti-dreaming device ("It's basically an iPod with a really ****ed-up shuffle setting") and then he leads her to the cave from her dream.
Sue: Surely this can't be doing her any good. What is the Doctor playing at? Shouldn't they be heading in the opposite direction? Isn't this what the Mara wants them to do?
The Doctor enters the cave alone but Lon, his mother, and a tedious academic named Ambril, have beaten them to it.
Sue: He's famous.
Me: That's John Carson. You probably recognise his face from some Hammer Horror films that I've made you watch over the years.
Sue: He's far too young for that.
She's pointing at the Manussan guard.
Sue: I definitely know that face.
Me: Oh, yes, him. He had a show called In Bed with Medinner which we used to watch in the early 1990s. I can't remember his name.
Sue: Bob Mills.
Me: How can you recognise Bob Mills in a non-speaking role, but you can't recognise the Mara or Omega? How does that work?
For several minutes, Sue doesn't say a word.
Me: You are very quiet. Are you enjoying this story too much to comment on it?
Sue: Not really. I'm struggling to get into it. I have a lot on my mind today – I'm bidding on some cabinets on eBay and I'm worried that I'll be outbid.
Tegan escapes from Nyssa's care and she finds herself in a fortune teller's tent. The seer who works there is very honest.
Seer: I make something up. Whatever comes into my head. Whatever I think they want to hear.
Sue: She really needs to work on her sales talk if she wants to stay in business. She may as well put up a sign outside that says, 'Hey! I'm Shit!'
The episode concludes with a snake skull escaping from an exploding crystal ball.
Sue: That was a bit shit.
Me: Are you serious?
Sue: Yes. Hang on a minute… Bollocks, outbid by a measly quid.
Part Two
Sue: Did Christopher Bailey write the first Mara story?
Me: Yes.
Sue: But didn't he say in the documentary that you made me watch that he had a terrible time and he hated the experience? Why did he come back, then? Was it the money? I bet it was the money.
Sue has very strong opinions about Peter Howell's incidental music, too.
Sue: It sounds like a rehearsal for the Durham Miners' Gala. All I can hear are brass bands tuning up in the background.
The Doctor warns Ambril to call off the ceremony before it's too late. Ambril takes the piss out of him.
Sue: That's very funny. And believable, too. You wouldn't take the Doctor seriously because he sounds like an excitable child.
At least somebody believes him.
Sue: "Aveline! Aveline!" I used to love Bread. He's a good actor, too. The performances are the best thing about this story.
Sadly, the Six Faces of Delusion riddle fails to fox Sue.
Sue: How is it possible that he didn't notice that before? That is ridiculous. Don't they have peer-reviewed research on this planet? Did no one notice the bleeding obvious? Even the guy from Bread didn't get it!
Tegan finds herself in a Hall of Mirrors which is run by a showman named Dugdale.
Sue: Ridley Scott in a role that will surprise you.
Tegan speaks with the voice of the Mara.
Mara: LOOK AT ME!
Sue: Are you sure it's the Mara? I think she's been possessed by Jeremy Kyle.
Back at the Federator's residence, Lon tells his mother that he is going to skip dinner so he can wallow in his boredom instead.
Sue: You could always get another earring, pet. Or you could practice with your Duran Duran tribute band if you are really desperate for something to do.
The Doctor investigates some pictograms that confirm his suspicions – the Mara will return.
Sue: If there's one thing Peter Davison does really well, it's excitement. You'll have to scrape him off the ceiling if he doesn't calm down.
The Doctor and Nyssa return to the TARDIS so they can concentrate on a blue crystal and determine its properties. Unfortunately, there are too many distractions.
Sue: The background hum in the TARDIS would drive me mad as well. He should dampen it. Nyssa's outfit probably doesn't help, either. You know, I think I actually prefer her in her original costume, and I never thought I'd ever say that. What she's wearing now was never fashionable. Not even in the eighties.
The mark of the Mara can be seen on Lon and Tegan's arms.
Sue: (Singing) The union of the snake is on the la-la-la. Sorry, I've forgotten the words.
The possessed pair turn their attention to Dugdale.
Tegan: Look at me. I'm not going to harm you. Look at me.
Lon: That's right. Look at me. Look at me.
Sue: Put something on the end of it!
The episode concludes with a close-up that confirms the worst – Tegan has gone full-blown Mara.
Sue: You can get filters to remove red-eye, you know. I've got hundreds of photos were I look like that.
Me: You're not enjoying this, are you?
Sue: No, not really.
Part Three
The Doctor is thrown into jail for being a smart arse.
Sue: Now this is what you call a proper cell. It's a very clever design, actually – the slanted angle forces the prisoner to outstretch his arms before he gets his hands on the bars. All prison cells should be made like this. The lighting is very nice, too.
Chela visits the Doctor and he tells him everything he wants to know about the Great Crystal.
Sue: Haven't we seen this before? A big blue crystal with telepathic powers? I'm sure we have.
Me: You're thinking about Planet of the Spiders.
Sue: Do the snakes and the spiders gang up on the Doctor? That would be mental.
We get another fleeting glimpse at Dojjen.
Sue: Is this character trapped inside an oil painting? I don't get it.
Lon returns from his rendezvous with Tegan. His mother accuses him of sneaking out to have some fun.
Sue: She isn't happy with him. Maybe it's because he's been behaving badly.
Me: You couldn't resist, could you?
Sue: I've just realised that Martin Clunes' shirt collar is supposed to look like that. I thought it was just the way he'd dressed himself, but it's intentional. The costume designer is taking the piss.
She doesn't have a problem with Martin's trousers, though.
Sue: Martin has a tight little arse, don't you think?
Me: Is this what we've been reduced to? Martin Clunes' arse? I had such high hopes for this experiment when we started it.
Sue: Poor Martin. It looks as if he's lost his pet falcon.
Lon shows Ambril a priceless artefact that he claims he found lying around in a cave somewhere.
Lon: Surprising, really, what one can turn up.
Sue: (As Ambril) You might think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
Me: What?
Sue: I loved this actor in House of Cards. He's very good.
Out in the market square, the history of Manussa is communicated to us via the medium of Punch and Judy puppeteering.
Sue: The programme is obsessed with showing us scenes of small children staring at naff street entertainment. What's that all about? I thought changing lightbulbs in every story was a bit weird, but that's nothing compared to this.
The Doctor and Nyssa share a well-designed cell together.
The Doctor: If only we still had the sonic screwdriver.
Sue: So why haven't you replaced it yet?
Me: Please stop saying that. Let's just say he doesn't get another sonic screwdriver for quite a while.
Sue: Why? That's a bit stupid, isn't it?
Lon escorts Ambril to the secret cave where he meets the possessed Tegan ("She's really gone overboard with the fake tan") and a ****ed up Dugdale.
Sue: Doctor Who does possession far too much, but this is a pretty good example of it. It's pretty creepy.
Lon threatens to break some priceless artefacts if Ambril doesn't grant him access to the Great Crystal.
Sue: But the cups are already broken! Who's going to notice the difference?
Tegan's tattoo becomes a real snake. Well, real-ish. Sadly, the episode concludes with a contretemps in a corridor instead.
Sue: Nyssa wouldn't scream like that. That's completely out of character. That must be one of the laziest cliffhangers I think I've ever seen.
Part Four
If the cliffhanger was bad, its resolution is even worse.
Sue: That was pathetic! Why didn't they just end the last episode with a close-up of Tegan's snake? That would have been so much better.
Speaking of which…
Sue: They should have made her handle a real one. They should have written it into her contract when they re-hired her.
Me: They didn't get rid of her. Tegan was always supposed to return.
Sue: Oh, I thought they tried to get rid of her but she had something incriminating against JNT. I didn't know it was planned. That just makes her initial departure seem even more stupid. Actually, maybe the Mara was responsible for Tegan getting back with the Doctor because it subconsciously. Oh, who am I kidding? It's rubbish.
When the ceremony to celebrate the Mara's passing gets underway, Sue is convinced that she recognises the MC.
Sue: It's Lionel Blair!
Me: No, it isn't.
Sue: Yes it is! It's Lionel Blair!
I let her believe what she likes. I'm past caring, now.
The Doctor, Nyssa and Chela arrive at some ruins in the wilderness.
Sue: And now we are on film. And it looks great. Why didn't they do it all like this? It's still in a studio but it's much, much better.
The Doctor's crystal hums a little tune, but Sue spoils the mood when she sings the theme to Close Encounters over it.
And then we reach the scene that I've been dreading since we started this story.
Sue: I take it all back: Nyssa is no longer the worst dressed person in this story. ****ing hell!
Me: This is the clip they always bring out on chat shows to embarrass Martin Clunes. It's a shame because he gives a fantastic performance in this. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Sue: He looks like a massive twat!
Me: He's supposed to, I think.
Sue: **** off! The costume designer wants sacking.
The Doctor finally meets Dojjen.
Sue: Roger Waters has really let himself go.
The Doctor is bitten by a snake.
Sue: I bet Peter Davison has handled a few snakes in his time. He doesn't need a rubber one to get the job done.
The snake's poison is a hallucinogenic.
Sue: He really is tripping this week. They aren't even trying to hide it with scientific mumbo-jumbo. The Doctor is tripping his face off. This is not for kids. I'm not sure who it's for, actually.
Dojjen speaks to the Doctor telepathically.
Dojjen: The dance goes on. It is all the dance, everywhere and always. So, find the still point.
Sue: This doesn't make any sense to me. It's just like that other Mara story. The scriptwriter has got his head up his arse.
Back in the cave, Lon prepares to complete the ceremony.
Sue: I think his outfit would work better if the fluffy clouds covered both his nipples.
Sue has nipples on the brain.
Sue: They are going to subject him to a nipple temptation? What?
Me: Triple temptation. Triple.
Lon's mother is appalled when she sees the mark of the Mara on her son.
Sue: First the earring, now a tattoo! You are grounded for a month, young man. You have behaved very badly indeed!
Me: That's two weeks washing-up.
Sue: It was worth it.
Lon places the Great Crystal in the mouth of an ornate snake and then all hell breaks loose.
Sue: That was the best scene in the whole story. That was very effective. Finally, something happened.
The Mara manifests itself.
Sue: It's better than the last one, I'll give them that.
The Doctor urges everyone to concentrate and find the still point.
Sue: Er, excuse me, what's the still point? Is there an instructional video to go with this type of yoga?
The snake fights for control of Tegan.
Sue: Is it going to dance now?
The Mara uses the voice of Tegan as a child to distract the Doctor.
Sue: This is very disturbing. In fact, it's even more disturbing than Martin Clunes' knees, and that's really saying something.
The Mara is destroyed and Dojjen returns to the wilderness, but not before he gives us one last look.
Sue: Yes, we can see you. It's like he's on a catwalk. What is he waiting for? A ****ing bow?
The Doctor consoles his companion.
The Doctor: The Mara has been destroyed.
Sue: That was very touching, but he's wrong. The Mara will be back. The monsters always come back. It's becoming very tedious.
The Score
Sue: That was nothing special. I'll tell you what the problem is – it lacked atmosphere. It was very flat. There were some good performances, and some of the sets were okay, even the direction had its moments, but it lacked excitement and the plot bored me rigid. It's average.
I shake my head. I can't believe I postponed a colonoscopy for this. This is a much bigger pain in the arse.
Sue: I mean, why did they bring the Mara back so soon?
Me: It's Doctor Who's 20th anniversary so all the stories this year feature old monsters.
Sue: It might have been more exciting if I had to wait a year to see the Mara again but it wasn't that long ago for me. It just feels as if they are recycling old ideas. It's lazy. Let's do something different instead; I'm sick of being stuck inside Tegan's head.
I slam my notebook shut.
Sue: The fans are going to hate me, aren't they? I can tell.
Me: Do you care?
Sue: No.
Me: Would you like to watch any extras?
Sue: No.
Me: The documentary tells you how they recycled the sets from A Song for Europe.
Sue: I could always give it a 4.
Me: But it's Rob Shearman's favourite story!
Sue: Now you're just getting desperate. Wait, don't tell me. I bet he says it's supposed to be rubbish on purpose?

Texas coaching search: Louisville's Strong has positive meeting; Baylor's Briles 'extremely intrigued'
GLENDALE, Ariz. — With the Texas football coaching search far closer to the end that than beginning, things are actually preceding methodically and even predictably.
Unless things change dramatically at the 11th hour and the search goes certifiably crazy, then the names most in play are Louisville's Charlie Strong and Baylor's Art Briles, according to industry sources familiar with the search.
Each was among four names that sources indicated were high on Texas' radar screen on Saturday.
Strong interviewed Tuesday with Texas athletic Steve Patterson, sources confirmed, and has become a creditable alternative after a positive meeting.
Briles, who coached Baylor in Wednesday's Fiesta Bowl, will almost certainly be next on Patterson's to-do list. Sources describe Briles as happy and appreciative for the support at Baylor, which has invested more than $360 million in facilities. But he was also described as extremely intrigued by the possibilities and resources at a major state university like Texas in his home state.
Beyond that, Vanderbilt's James Franklin remains a possibility. Vandy faces Houston in Saturday's BBVA Compass Bowl.
Jimbo Fisher may have signaled that he and Texas are no longer a potential power couple by finally signing his contract extension at Florida State and by the timing on Tuesday.
Maybe there's another name lurking out there, perhaps an NFL coach. For now, most of the usual suspects you heard for months are off the board.
Patterson said at the Valero Alamo Bowl that one of his jobs was to sort between candidates with a sincere interest and those looking for pay raises at their current schools. So far he's followed that plan.

29gal Make Over
Ive decided to start my tanks makeover today. Today I Will finish removing the dead plants and swap out the substrate. I will post pics and keep everyone updated :-).
look forward to seeing how you get on. :-D
Sounds like work! :D But I can't wait to see the progress. :)
4 Attachment(s)
Ok here are some pics for the progress.
-Water 80% water has been drained
-Plants have been removed and put into a temporary bucket with old tank water
-Fish are split up into two 5 gal water jugs temporarily that have been treated and r ready to be mixed into the tank.
-my leopard gecko watching me do all this.
-The water got real dirty when i was scraping out the gravel im debating draining all of that.
looks like you're doing well,and what a cute gecko.
what are you changing the substrate too ?
The substrate was switched to a more natural brown rock looking one. I also have a piece of driftwood sitting in a bucket right now, hopefully it will be ready in a few days to put into the tank. Ill post a pic soon.
Wow sorry its been so long since i last posted (my father got very ill) on this, my tank is still not finished however it has come along way since i last posted. Im currently still ordering a few plants to finish off the tank and i will be completly finished.
2 Attachment(s)
My background first, and then thats with the background on it. The gravel was completly changed from the original multicolor blue green and red, to a more natural looking gravel. The pictures look bad because it was taking from my cell phone. The tank looks alot better in person. I ended up draining 90% of the water and cleaned the glass of the tank. The tank then sat for a while, during this time i retested all the ph and ammonia. im looking into buying a few more plants for the foreground. please feel free to comment, i appreciate advise as well on any plants you think would look nice.

Nice, I think your tank looks great! (I hope your father is feeling better!)

Reconstruction to the Great Depression;
We enter a period called the "Reconstuction", which can refer to one of two things, and they're both somewhat related. At this point, the North had just won the Civil war and occupied the South. Sadly, for Abraham Lincoln this was two months after he was assassinated. When we talk about the Reconstruction period, again it can refer to one of two things; One, is the recontruction of the war. Obviously there was a lot of damage and they needed to have a point where they could rebuild and recover from the war. But most commonly referred to as the Reconstruction of the South, and to kind of reform the South, if you will. Now, the three big things that happened in this period was that the United States passed the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth ammendments. These are known as the Reconstruction ammendments. In 1865 you have the thirteenth ammendment; The abolishment of slavery. In 1845 was the Annexation of Texas, ordered by Lincoln. But at this point, became law that it was illegal to own slaves. And in 1868 you have the fourteenth ammendment, which made everyone born in the United States, a citizen. Including the slaves, which after the 13th ammendment was passed meant they were free. And lastly, in 1870 we have the 15th ammendment. Which gave all free men the right to vote. Now, women since they were not allowed to go to war, obviously still were not allowed to vote.

Nivolumab (Opdivo Injection)
On November 23, 2015, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved nivolumab (Opdivo Injection, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma in patients who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy.
The approval was based on a randomized study in which patients with advanced renal cell cancer who had received prior anti-angiogenic therapy received either nivolumab 3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks (N=410) or everolimus 10 mg orally once daily (N=411).
The primary endpoint was overall survival. Median overall survival was 25.0 and 19.6 months in the nivolumab and everolimus arms, respectively [HR 0.73 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.89); p=0.0018]. Confirmed response rate was 21.5% (95% CI: 17.6, 25.8) in the nivolumab arm and 3.9% (95% CI: 2.2, 6.2) in the everolimus arm. The median response duration was 23.0 months in the nivolumab arm and 13.7 months in the everolimus arm. Median progression-free survival was 4.6 and 4.4 months with nivolumab and everolimus arms, respectively [HR 0.88 (95% CI: 0.75, 1.03); p=0.11].
Safety was evaluated in 406 patients who had previously received at least one anti-angiogenic therapy. The most common (greater than or equal to 20%) adverse reactions included asthenic conditions, cough, nausea, rash, dyspnea, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, back pain, and arthralgia. The most common (greater than or equal to 30%) laboratory abnormalities which have worsened compared to baseline included increased creatinine, lymphopenia, anemia, increased AST, increased alkaline phosphatase, hyponatremia, elevated triglycerides, and hyperkalemia.
Serious adverse events were reported in 47% of patients. The most common serious adverse events (greater than or equal to 2%) were acute kidney injury, pleural effusion, pneumonia, diarrhea, and hypercalcemia. Nineteen deaths were reported within 30 days of the last nivolumab dose. Fifteen were attributed to progressive disease and four due to pneumonia, suicide, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. Immune-mediated adverse events (e.g., pneumonitis, diarrhea/colitis, hepatitis, nephritis, endocrinopathies, and encephalitis) have been reported.
The recommended dose and schedule for nivolumab is 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every two weeks.
This application was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track, and Priority Review. It was approved prior to the Priority Review deadline of March 15, 2016. A description of these expedited programs is in the Guidance for Industry: Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions-Drugs and Biologics available at: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm358301.pdf.

He wore a comb in his hair, a black long sleeved shirt underneath a black puffy vest with a red design over the left breast, dark pants.(image attached)
The vehicle is described as being a silver Honda Accord, 2 doors, that, at the time, had a broken driver's side window covered with plastic.

12-Year-Old Sikh Boy Arrested After Classmate Accuses Him of Carrying a Bomb|
He was jailed for 3 days and no one contacted his parents.
The latest victim of Islamophobia is a 12-year-old Sikh boy in Arlington, Texas.
Armaan Singh Sarai, a student at Nichols Junior High School in Arlington with a heart condition, was arrested and jailed for three days based on a bully's accusation that he had a bomb in his backpack. Nichols principal Julie Harcrow immediately called police, who searched Armaan's backpack and determined there was no bomb. Despite that fact, Armaan was detained for three days at a juvenile detention facility. Neither police nor the school informed Armaan's parents where he was being held.
Armaan's cousin, Ginee Haer, described the ordeal in a Facebook post that has since gone viral:
Worried & frightened at home, his family was concerned as to why he had not reached home right after school. They started calling every police department in the area, only to find out he was sent to a Juvenile facility. They kept him held behind bars for three consecutive days, before finally releasing him on Monday, December 15th.
Haer also expressed frustration at the way her cousin was treated, given his medical history. Even though Armaan is just 12 years old, he's endured three open heart surgeries due to an undisclosed heart condition Haer said he was born with.
"My cousin is a minor and was arrested without any evidence or guardian present! This should show you how fucked up the system is!" Haer wrote. "There are good people out there, but the majority of the system is corrupt! All these bastards see is race & the color of your skin!"
However, according to the Arlington police, Armaan told his bully that he had a bomb in his backpack, which police say he later admitted to falsely claiming.
"People have got to learn they cannot make these types of threats which cause alarm, which cause evacuations," Arlington Police Department spokesman Lt. Christopher Cook told the Dallas Morning News. "Just because you say it's a joke, it doesn't get you out of trouble."
But in an email to Principal Harcrow, Armaan's older brother, Aksh Singh, pointed out that Armaan and other students had been joking about bomb threats, yet Armaan was the only one arrested.
"My little brother Armaan Singh, 12 years of age, a loved kid by many was taken from school to Kimbo Juvenile center because he AND other students were joking about bomb threats," Singh wrote. "I know we live in a time where such an accusation is serious, but this is outrageous and I demand a justified reason for why a 12-year-old INDIAN boy was taken into police custody and sent to a jail."

Stay in my fully renovated 1860 Saltbox house in the heart of Dutchess County. It is located approximately 2 miles off the Sylvan Lake/Hopewell Junction/Beekman Road exit off the Taconic State Parkway, directly on Beekman Road in the hamlet of Beekmanville, with its 7 historic houses and an old stagecoach stop nestled close to the road from the days when horses and buggies were all the transportation people used. It is located approximately 12 minutes from the Pawling Metro-North Station, and you could take a taxi here, but you would need a car to get around. There is an Enterprise car rental facility in Pawling that will pick you up if you arrange it in advance. It is also VERY easy to get here by car from NYC: 1.5 hours north on the Taconic. I am less than 3 miles from the exit, on the same road the exit is on.
Available for short- or longer-term rental. PLEASE NOTE: ONLY LONGER-TERM RENTALS CONSIDERED FOR SUMMER 2017 -- 3 week minimum, 10 week maximum, beginning July 1, 2017.
There are three bedrooms in total: one downstairs with a full-sized bed, and two upstairs, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Comfortably sleeps up to 8 people , if one person stays on the couch, and another on my twin air mattress. There is one bathroom with both a standing shower and a separate tub. The kitchen is fully equipped with All-Clad pans, sharp knives, and spices galore. The large patio, accessible through the sliding French-style doors in the dining room, has both a gas BBQ and a fire pit. The living room also has a wood-burning stove, which is very cozy in the winter. The house sits on almost 5.5 acres, and the Fishkill Creek bisects the backyard.
The house has WiFi and two televisions with Roku boxes — already set up with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Youtube, and more. There is no cable television. There is a Verizon cell phone signal booster inside the house. Sprint has service here without it.
You will have full use of the house including kitchen amenities such as spices, oils, butter, etc., as well as keyless entry with a coded door lock, access to two bicycles, and plenty of local information and help. I have lived in the area for over 30 years. I am also available for hire as a private guide/chauffer. Please email for details.

In the 1870s, one of Gladstone's private secretaries, William Gurdon, produced a form letter for answering various types of frequent enquiry. His rules were recorded in the "Book of Knowledge" which was updated by Gladstone's later private secretaries.
By the beginning of this century, Salisbury and Balfour could still read and reply personally to a good part of the correspondence which came into the office each day. The prime minister then had three private secretaries who effectively maintained links with Parliament, the media, Cabinet and the Palace.
In 1970 Ted Heath's support was still in single figures and No 10 was as much a home as an office. Heath's political secretary, a young Douglas Hurd, commented, "It is hard to imagine anyone governing anything substantial from No 10." Tony Blair today is backed by nearly 40 staff who work on party policy and media relations on his behalf.
Some of Blair's predecessors fought to strengthen their support. Lloyd George in 1916 established a Garden Suburb (a forerunner of today's Policy Unit), and a Cabinet Office, to systematise Cabinet's work, as well as recruiting a number of secretaries to do the typing. The latter were situated in two basement rooms facing the garden and were known as the Garden Room Girls. Lloyd George's neglect of the Cabinet and House of Commons, and his reputation as a wrecker of the Liberal Party, meant that his more powerful office was condemned as a form of presidentialism. When he fell from office in 1922, the Garden Suburb was abolished and the Cabinet Office trimmed back.
In 1964 Harold Wilson brought in a handful of political appointees, including the redoubtable Marcia Williams. They were not made welcome and 30 years later retired civil servants still shudder when they recall working in No 10 in the late 1960s. Having formalised the office of political secretary for Mrs Williams in 1964 Wilson innovated again in 1974, creating the Policy Unit which still stands today.
The first head of Mrs Thatcher's Policy Unit, Sir John Hoskyns, was also given a frosty reception by officials in No 10. The strong opposition she faced from the Foreign Office and the rest of Whitehall when she appointed her own foreign policy adviser in 1982 (Sir Anthony Parsons) helped to dissuade Mrs Thatcher from setting up a Prime Minister's Department, absorbing members of Policy Unit, Cabinet Office and Central Policy Review Staff. The later indiscretions of her economic adviser Sir Alan Walters exacerbated differences between herself and her Chancellor Nigel Lawson and led to the latter's resignation.
Tony Blair is not the first prime minister to be accused of cronyism, or having people around with whom he feels comfortable. Gladstone and Salisbury relied on relations to help them in No 10. Asquith's principal private secretary became his son-in-law and Churchill had his son-in-law, Christopher Soames, as his parliamentary private secretary. Lloyd George was surrounded by his so-called Taffia and his mistress Frances Stevenson.
Over the century the Prime Minister's Office has become larger and more differentiated. The dividing line between party-political and civil-service activity has became clearer where once it was opaque. Until Lloyd George it made little sense to talk of separate political and official institutions within No 10.
Because Whitehall dreads civil servants going native, it likes to move the private secretaries out of No 10 every three years or so. Mrs Thatcher's breach of this convention, by keeping Bernard Ingham and Charles Powell with her to the end, only reinforced it in the eyes of Whitehall.

Gluten-Free Pork Sirloin Pot Roast
There are many easy ways to cook a pork roast.
One of the most basic is also quite easy… and a perennial favorite of mine… a pot roast!
It takes just a few minutes to get it started, then it cooks on its own for a couple of hours.
I think that a pot roast must be one of the original one-pot meals… Paleo in the extreme!
Easy Gluten-Free Banana Peanut Butter Muffins
These easy gluten-free banana peanut butter muffins are quick to make and have for breakfast or snacks without a lot of fuss and bother, and, to make it even better, they taste great.
The other day I baked some of these for an easy breakfast and enjoyed two of them right away. Then I unexpectedly found I had to take a family member to the doctor immediately.
That trip took a lot longer than I expected. About half-way through waiting for our turn to see a doctor, I realized I should have taken a couple of these muffins with me. They would have packed easily into my purse and they would have made a terrific snack!
Gluten-Free Mini-Meat Loaf with Mushroom Sauce
Here's an old favorite that's already easy to make, made a little faster. The smaller individual-size loaves cook faster.
Because they're smaller, they're also quick to freeze. They thaw quickly for a meal later, so I often double the recipe and make extra.
When I was converting this recipe to be gluten-free, I discovered several different possibilities…
Mustard Dill Sauce with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Here's a quick-to-fix recipe that will satisfy even my hungriest snack attack.
This easy gluten-free snack or appetizer can also easily serve as a side dish for a meal, especially a sandwich or a dinner salad. The sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes contrasts well with the spicy tang of mustard and dill in the creamy sauce.
One serving of these nutrition-packed sweets gives me 4 grams of dietary fiber…
Gluten-Free Hamburger with Dill Sauce for a Great Cookout!
Are you ready for a great cookout this weekend? I look forward to a gluten-free hamburger with all the trimmings throughout the year, but I enjoy them even more when we can grill them outside.
Gluten-free hamburgers are just as easy as any other kind, as long as the grill is clean when you start.
One of the best things about hamburgers is that each person can choose what they want or don't want on their own.
Gluten-Free Trail Mix Makes Healthy Snacks
Preparing healthy snacks is usually time-consuming The good news is that not every snack has to be complicated or time-consuming to be healthy. Gluten-free trail mix can be as healthy as you want it to be. Quick to make. Quick to pack. Easy to carry. Nutrition on the go. Those are good reasons to make some with your own favorite ingredients. When I happen to look at what's available in vending machines or checkout lanes in many places, I'm appalled by how much of it is high in refined sugars and high in salt. They can also be high in volume or quantity. Look at how many "servings" of peanuts are usually in a simple bag of peanuts – two […]
Beef Round Steak and Vegetables in the Slow Cooker for an Old-Fashioned Dinner Delight
Gluten-free and Gluten-y family members alike will all absolutely love this beef round steak with vegetables from the crock pot recipe.
It's a classic stick-to-the-ribs family-style meal that is every bit as good as your favorite stew… And, you can thicken the delicious broth that you'll get after simmering for several hours in your slow cooker into a silky-smooth gravy that will make the meal even better.
This meal only takes 20-minutes or so to put together and then can simmer for as long as necessary… Whatever that means in your world. It's a low preparation-time recipe that you and your whole family are sure to enjoy.

Cook rice in boiling salted water until half done, 10 to 15 minutes, and drain.
Place potato and onion in butter, melted in the bottom of a casserole with a tight lid, and saute briefly.
Do not stir but keep in a flat layer.
Pile rice on top, adding salt and pepper to taste, and saffron soaked in 1/4 cup cold water.
Cook gently for 30 minutes or more.
The bottom layer should not burn, but it should get crusty and deep orange in color.
Place casserole in water for a few minutes to help loosen crust, and turn out with crust on top of mound of rice.
