Education choice under uncertainty and public policy
We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling decisions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic, life-cycle consistent, stochastic model. We show that education attainment will be an increasing function of the risk associated with education. Furthermore, this result holds whether or not agents can borrow in order to pay for education and regardless of the degree of risk aversion. We also examine the link between consumption over the life-cycle and education choice to show that higher initial wealth will usually - but not always - have a positive effect on education attainment. Finally we show that progressive taxes will tend to reduce education attainment for the poor but increase it for the rich.

Bill Moos on the state of collegiate athletics
On Tuesday, Washington State Athletic Director Bill Moos joined Furness and Puckett to discuss the state of college sports and whether or not we are headed to a system in which athletes will be paid.
Moos was adamant that he would not want to see college players be paid extra. "I hope in lifetime I don't see I don't see college athletes being paid."
Although he does not favor a system that pays players, Moos fully supports the idea of increasing the stipend for scholarships to give each athlete more money each month.
However the sticky situation would be trying to argue that the point guard of the women's basketball team should receive the same amount of money as the quarterback of the football team. The football team is the revenue generator, not women's basketball. Eventually the men would questing the equal pay and demand more. That's something the NCAA must think about before going through with this plan. It's a plan that appears close to happening as Moos mentioned to Ian and Puck that he thinks it could happen within the year.

Pros: Have owned VelociRaptor drives in the past, and it is still running in my everyday desktop.

Kitty, I think Parks must be in trouble. I tried for over a week to place
a seed order online, and kept getting a screen saying they were
having problems. They finally got their act together this week, but
I think it was a pretty poor show, especially since they have been
harassing me wity emails nearly every week all winter. I think their
catalog has gone downhill sadly in the last few years. Years ago I
used to carry their catalog and Wayside Gardens with me when I
was judging a flower show to use for reference if needed. Now there
are others that are much better.
I haven't noticed being cut off from any - there are more and more
each year. I try to order something from each of the catalogs I
like best just to keep them coming. I need to order something
from Plant Delight this year - they say they will cut you off if you
don't order for three years. I can't possibly grow everything I see
in catalogs, but they serve as text books to help me know what
is out there.
In a message dated 02/08/2005 10:57:16 AM Eastern Standard Time,
email@example.com writes:
And for the first time in my gardening life I did not receive 4 copies
of Parks Seed catalogue - they cut me off completely. I did get a newly
named version of their Parks Countryside catalogue, but not the seed
catalogue. What gives?
Have you noticed these new catalog directions? Do you feel cheated that
they offer online things you don't see in print? Has anybody cut you off

It takes a full-time job, or a full-time class schedule, for one to truly appreciate a four-day weekend. And when those two extra days off come courtesy the Thanksgiving holiday, the full-time college basketball fan (or writer) goes into overtime mode.
Just about every D-I team in the country seemed to be playing in a holiday tournament this past weekend – from the balmy paradise of the Bahamas to the cold-ass bustle of New York City on Black Friday. When it was over, some top dogs were going home with their national-championship promise in doubt, while some underdogs returned to campus with brand-new hero status.
Here are the highlights and lowlights from the long weekend:
4 Games I Hope You Watched
UNLV 90, North Carolina 80 – Saturday nights in Vegas are supposed to be surreal. Maybe that's why it made sense that, in the Las Vegas Invitational title game, UNLV's shooters were getting so wide open that it looked like UNC had left their fifth defender on the bus. It made sense that the most talented frontcourt in the country got outplayed by a group of guys on which Roy Williams wouldn't waste a home visit. It made sense that Runnin' Rebels swingman Chace Stanback posted four points and two rebounds against USC on Friday, then blew up for 28 points and 10 boards against the top-ranked Tar Heels on Saturday.
Central Florida 68, Connecticut 63 – Before UNC went down, the defending national champs were the weekend's first major upset victims. Marcus Jordan (20 pts, 7 rebs, 7 asts) made the go-ahead free throws with three minutes remaining, putting the cap on a comeback that began when UCF trailed by 17 in the second half. "That wasn't a run," UConn coach Jim Calhoun told reporters. "It was an avalanche."
Connecticut 78, Florida State 76 (OT) – The consolation game nobody saw coming at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas was won by UConn point guard Shabazz Napier's three-pointer in the final minute of overtime. Napier (26 pts) redeemed himself after shooting 1-for-7 and turning the ball over seven times against Central Florida.
Virginia Tech 59, Oklahoma State 57 – I'm not sure what made me feel older: Watching the Bayou Classic matchup between Southern's 11-year-old quarterback and Doug Williams' son at Grambling, or watching Oklahoma State senior Keiton Page barking out orders and hitting huge shots while looking like Steve Nash's child. Page kept the third-place game at the preseason NIT interesting until the last drop, converting a driving layup with 11 seconds left and an off-balance running three with 0.7 remaining that prevented the Hokies from breathing easy until the clock showed all zeroes.
4 Future Pros You Know
William Buford, SG, Ohio State – He came into college billed as a highlight machine ready to create more insane YouTube clips than Miss Prada. Four years later he's become an outside shooting ace on the radar of any NBA team looking for a shooter first and an athlete second. Buford dropped 25 points on Valparaiso, hitting all four of his threes. He's shooting 50 percent beyond the arc this season. Oh, and he can still jump over your head.
Terrence Jones, SF/PF, Kentucky – I could pick a different Wildcat each week for the "Future Pros" section and have enough ammo for two months. And if you ask me, Jones is going to be the best pro of the bunch: a 6-9, 250-pound lefty with perimeter skills, interior strength, and an MMA fighter's intensity. Jones had 19 points, two steals and two blocks in Kentucky's latest laugher, this time against Portland.
C.J. Leslie, SF/PF, NC State – Once upon a time Leslie was a lock for the Lottery, but a so-so freshman year has put him in a position where he'll (probably) have to prove he's more than just a pile of potential before leaving the Wolf Pack for the pros. The 6-9 lanky Leslie put up 13 points, eight boards, five blocks and three steals against Elon, and faces tough tests against Indiana and Stanford in the next week.
Kris Joseph, SF, Syracuse – He likely won't get buckets like Carmelo, bully his way to domination like John Wallace, or make March miracles like Gerry McNamara, but Joseph could soon take his place alongside those 'Cuse legends if he winds up being the marquee player on a national championship team. Joseph (6-7, 210) is a solid NBA role player in the making, but for now he's The Man; he had 18 points, nine rebounds and four steals in the Orange's preseason NIT title win over Stanford.

Keith Clanton, PF, Central Florida – The 6-8, 245-pounder was already putting together a solid resume for NBA scouts, but now his 20-point effort in the upset win over UConn gives him a signature moment to build around. Clanton also had 28 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks against Charleston earlier in the weekend.
Kendall Marshall, PG, North Carolina – His one-on-one matchup with Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor on Wednesday will be the last time Marshall appears on any "you might not know this guy" database. He's the best pure passer I've seen in college over the last two seasons and could finish the Wisconsin game known as the best point guard in the nation. Marshall handed out 14 assists to go with six steals in another clinic against South Carolina, and had eight dimes and seven points in the UNLV loss.
Mike Scott, PF, Virginia – Standing 6-8 and knocking on 250 pounds, Scott is one of those guys you'll forget all about until he's playing key playoff minutes for an NBA title contender. Scott posted 15 points and 10 rebounds against Wisconsin-Green Bay, in line with his senior-year averages.
Trevor Mbakwe, PF, Minnesota – He could slip into the NBA Draft's second round because he's an "old" senior, but Mbakwe has first-round talent. (He played his freshman year at Marquette, transferred to a junior college, and then sat out another year while trying to get out from under an assault charge.) He's a high-energy leaper at 6-8, 240 pounds, who will contribute as a rebounder and finisher in the pros. Mbakwe had 16 points and 12 rebounds against DePaul, nine points and nine boards against Indiana State, and nine points and two blocks against Dayton. (UPDATE: Minnesota announced Monday that Mbakwe is likely out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL suffered in the Dayton game.)

Christian Resource Center - New Hampshire
Welcome, Here's What We're About:
As Christians, we have a duty to spread the wonderful news about how Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, gave His life so that we may have salvation from sin and eternal damnation in hell.
We have compiled useful and factual information about Jesus Christ and the 66 books of the Bible as well as general Christian knowledge. All of our documents are free to download and distribute.
Christian Overview:
What is a Christian?
A Christian is a person who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, given to them as a free gift from God by grace through faith alone.
(See Ephesians 2:8-10)
How do You Become a Christian?
To receive the Holy Spirit and become a Christian, you must confess you are a sinner, ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins, and ask Him to come into your heart and life to become your personal Lord and Savior. You must believe that Jesus is God's Son, He died for your sins, and God raised him from the dead.
(See Romans 10:9-10)
A Christian also believes that the Holy Bible was written by men who were inspired by God as well as the three part nature of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) known as the "Trinity".
What are Christians
Commanded to do?
Jesus was asked by a Lawyer:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
(Matthew 22:36)
Jesus answered:
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
(Matthew 22:37-40)
*A Christian should also focus much of their life on "
The Great Commission
What is the Great Commission?
Eleven of Jesus' disciples went away to a mountain in Galilee...Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the things that I have commanded you; and surely, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
(Matthew 28:18-20)
Should a Christian be Baptized?
Absolutely...Based on "The Great Commission" it is our duty to not only baptize others but to be baptized ourselves. A baptism does not save you, it is done as a show of obedience and a public profession of faith after you have been saved and received the Holy Spirit. The only true baptism is a full under water immersion done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
This Website:
This web site is a work in progress and has been created in order to help educate people to the wonders and mysteries of the Holy Bible and the grace and sovereignty of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. New reference materials, useful links, videos, and topical commentaries will be added to this site as the information comes available and time permits. If you have any questions or comments or if you have noted something that is incorrect, please e-mail us using the address listed at the bottom of the page.
Jesus Christ:
There is only one way to heaven and it is through true belief in Jesus Christ. When Jesus came to earth, He was fully man and fully God. He was the only perfect human to ever live. Jesus willingly gave his life for us so that our sins would be forgiven. There is nothing more important than helping others understand the incredible gift of salvation that Jesus Christ gave to us by dying on the cross at Calvary. We only have a short time on this earth and we need to try to help as many lost souls as we can. Jesus Said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
(See John 14:6)
Satan is referred to as "the prince of the power of the air" and "the ruler of this world".
(See Ephesians 2:2 and John 6:11)
What this means is that he has temporarily been given great power over the world. He also has many fallen angels and demons at his command and uses them for spreading evil. His goal is to tempt people to sin and to hide the light and the truth of Jesus Christ by using lies and deception. Paul made this very clear to us in his letter to the Ephesians: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
(Ephesians 6:12)
The World
Don't be fooled, the world that is shown to you by the news and media is purposely and methodically cloaked in lies and deception. Nearly everything that the world media calls a conspiracy has truth at its roots. Don't believe anything you hear and only some of what you see. Research things and prove them to yourself. Until you have the light of Jesus in your life, your eyes will remain closed to the truth. Please come to Jesus now before it's too late.

I'm not into tools like some guys are but, there is something strangely hot about a girl getting naked around them.
It would be amazing to see a video of Aleah tear down a wall with that hammer. Naked ofcourse.

Shows how little you know about people. You actually think that wildfire and Defiance will appeal to the same crowd, wow........
Originally posted by Snakex
Sadly, i have came to this verdict for Defiance. Currently Defiance is a good game. Solid, its 1 b2p but dlc purchases are going to become iffy. But FireFall is a master peice compaired to this game, even in a closed beta state. FireFall > Defiance at the end result. But you can play both of them togeather no problem. Just know Firefall is much more sci fy setting, not a half modern half sci fi like defiance. But Firefall has the hand on Content and the fact that its free. So if you were to say your tight on bugdet or dont wana waste money, i would say FireFall is beyond a sure fire game. And once FireFall launches, whenever that might be. I fear for Defiances existance. Also FireFall is much more of an indepth game and has so much more "Touch to it" Voice acting, UI customization, and ill end it there
I prefer Defiance to Fire fall, as it has MUCH better pve content, I also like shadow war PVP a lot more in Defiance. Also I am not locked into a single class, with Defiance I can be a sniper one second healer or rocket launcher guy all by simply swapping load outs and skills.
Also Defiance is on Xbox and PS so its not a PC only game like Fire fall.
Also finally, the guns and combat in Defiance are far more fun to me, but to each his own.

Yes tell that to PS3 and 360 users who want to play fire fall for free..... Oh yeah, they can't.
So maybe the downfall of Firefall is that it is PC only.
Originally posted by Madamefate
That would be the case if people still cared about sales from ps3 and xbox. Which they dont because both are abandoned systems now.
What universe do you live in? console games sell 10 times what any PC game will sell, for PC 3-4 million sold is a big deal but for console 10-20 million sold is the average, more people play on console then PC by a long country mile.
Proof http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2011/Global/
This is for 2011, as you can see the first PC game is rank 45th.

We start off this week by expressing, on behalf of our Party Leader and the United Democratic Party, a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful people residing in the western village of Georgeville. Thank you for your outpouring of love for our Party Leader. Thank you for your expression of confidencein our Party, our Prime Minister and our Government by overwhelmingly voting for all 7 UDP candidates to serve you for the next three years.
The efforts of Dr. Abigail McKay in promoting the issue of "Women In Politics" is commendable. However, if the infighting currently raging among the few "Women In Politics" in PUP Sketteldom is any indication, then it seems like the efforts of the good doctor is going to nothing
While Dr. McKacy was sweating like hell in the hot Georgeville sun last Sunday trying desperately to get a group of women elected to the village council, the Mahogany Heights Carolyn Skettel and Narda the Social Security Skettel were tearing down Rhenae "The Nail" Nunez. Not to be outdone, The Nail was unleashing her trademark bulldog attack against the Mahogany Heights Skettel, the Social Security Skettel and Lady G. Michael. In a nutshell, the "Women in Politics" in the PUP are at war among themselves, how disheartening this must be for Dr. McKay.
While the Mahogany Heights Carolyn Skettel and Narda the Social Security Skettel have teamed up to bring down Rhenae "The Nail" Nunez , they have their own fight among themselves as Carolyn and Narda are embroiled in a nasty battle for control over the Belize Slimes Rag and Negative Vibes Radio.
As they continue attacking the other women in their party, the Mahogany Heights Skettel fired the General Manager of their radio, Renee Trujillo. The Social Security Skettel retaliated by firing the Mahogany Height Skettel's female lieutenant Janine from the Sketteldom Headquarters.
Trujillo was reinstated when the Social Security Skettel threatened to resign and expose more of their dirty linen. No sooner had Trujillo returned when the retired Gordon Smith Musa Skettel pounced upon her like a mad dog and publicly announced that she has returned "to continue her mismanagement." While Gordon Smith Musa professes to welcome women into sketteldom, his constant public attack upon the few women in his party speaks volumes of his disregard for the role of women in politics.
While Gordon Smith Musa professes to be welcoming women into Sketteldom he unleashed a string of vile attacks against the Social Security Skettel by publicly exposing the domestic violence era of her life. That was a very low blow from the man who wants to regain control of Sketteldom. In his vile attack Gordon Smith said that Narda is trying to forget that period of her life but yet in advancing his own personal and selfish political agenda, he recklessly ventured into opening Narda's wound.
Trujillo was fired because of kicking Lady G. Michael out of the building. The talk continues around the Sketteldom Studio and Secretariat about the shameless Lady G Michael who overnight became a parasite to Sketteldom. It is said that while Juan Mentira has not attracted any new financiers to the party, parasites like Lady G. Michael emerged overnight and expects the party to maintain him when he has not campaigned a single day for Sketteldom. He is encouraged to take some shame and, like Elvis Presley, should leave the building on his own accord.
As the infighting escalates within all factions of Sketteldom, the chickens are coming home to roost. Their campaign slogan was "PUP Hire, UDP Fire". The reality of this deceitful campaign is now coming to light as the PUP is Firing PUP like crazy. The New Guard Of Sketteldom is firing everyone they suspect to be associated with the Old Guard, those fired include Linsford Castillo, Rhenae "The Nail" Nunez, Gerald Coleman, Gerald Garbutt and even the security guard, Errol Smith. Those PUP at the Belize Slimes are living in daily fear of being fired by the loose cannon Social Security Skettel.
This very same individual who, the Retired Skettel NOW publicly refers to as a "Guatemalan, Racist, Conflict of interest threat to sketteldom, has always been the sister to the current president of Guatemala. The question on the minds of many of us who must, by law, contribute to the social security fund, is: How much of our hardworking money might have gone into funding the campaign of her sister's husband in Guatemala?
And NOW like a fish from riva battam, the Retired Skettel is telling us about Juan Mentira and "his G-7 comrades, who have enriched themselves during Musa's era". Why is the Retired Skettel telling us that NOW? Why did he not take action against them back THEN when they were thiefing the people's money? The voters of Belize knew that this bunch of thieves were making off with the bulk of the people's money and so the voters of Belize kicked them out of office.
It is therefore much too late for the Retired Skettel to NOW be admitting to the pile of thiefing that was going on back THEN when EVERY single one of them had their hands deep inside the national coffers hence the reason for the Super Bondage yoke around our necks and the necks of Belizeans yet unborn.
In his campaign to return to the throne in Sketteldom, the Retired Skettel is shooting at Juan Mentira from all angles. Apart from unleashing his chief attack dog, Rhenae "The Nail" Nunez, who is up and personal in Juan Mentira's face, he is also swinging at Juan Mentira.
This week the Retired Skettel talks about Juan Mentira donating "some $15,000 to Anthony "Boots" Martinez' campaign." NOW, almost three years later, has the Retired Skettel not yet realized the insult and damage he caused when he told his G7 colleagues that nothing they do, can affect the love that he has for Ralph Fonseca. That might have been a true statement as the return of the Fat Head Montevideo Skettel is tied in to the return of the Retired Skettel to Sketteldom.
The G7 might have not, and may still not be able to do anything to change the love that the Retired Skettel has for the Fat Head Montevideo Skettel, but they were certainly able to do something about the result of the elections and when the votes were counted back THEN in early February 2008, the Fat Head Montevideo Skettel was the first to go, and the rest is NOW history.
So THEN, Mr. Gordon Smith, that $15,000 to Boots' campaign was but the very tip of the iceberg in terms of contribution from the G7 to get back at the Retired Skettel and the Fat Head Montevideo Skettel. Do you honestly think that it was UDP supporters cutting down and burning those BEL light polls in the North? Do you honestly believe that the UDP had the money to pay for all those buses and to feed all those people who marched in droves on Independence Hill in Belmopan during those several massive demonstrations?
Furthermore, does the Retired Skettel think that it was any coincidence that Mark and Cordel just simply refused to vote against Dean Barrow when he presented the no-confidence motion against Said Musa in the House of Representatives?
Does the Retired Skettel and anyone in his faction of Sketteldom honestly believe that it is any coincidence that Mark Espat and Cordel Hyde did not campaign for Sketteldom in the 2009 round of Municipal Elections?
Is it any coincidence that Mark Espat and Cordel Hyde are conspicuous by their absence as Sketteldom continues to take a trashing in the ongoing round of village council elections?
This message is for you Mr. Retired Skettel and the love of your life, the Big Head Montevideo Skettel, if you think that the previous and current actions of Johnny, Mark and Cordel is anything, you just wait and see what they will do when you and the Big Head Montevideo Skettel hijack the reigns of Sketteldom later this year.
The logical bottom line is simple: The enemies of the enemies of BELIZE are friends of the Majestic United Democratic Party.
The drunken Editor of the Belize Slimes was not spared his dose of lashing. While it is no secret that he is dependent on the beverage and is hardly sober, Sketteldom is calling for the drunken fat head, face and belly editor of the Slimes to take his fat face out of his vomit and do the job for which he is paid. We go one step further and advise this fat drunken pig to slow down on the beverages as he grows older and might pass away in solitude while the rest of us are building families.
We close this week by expressing amazement at the actions of The Nail. Man The Nail has NOW surely gone to the utmost bottom of the disrespectful barrel. How dare she make reference to the Hon. Leader of her Party and his campaign manager as "batty man". Girl, you have surely outdone yourself this time.

Maybe or maybe not ;) The OSGi manifest is mainly about exporting and importing Java packages, which are concerns that we haven't discussed in any detail for the block descriptor. We could put this info in the block.xml and generate the manifest file automatically from it. In Eclipse they didn't go that way. There was some info in their pluggin descriptor that overlapped with the OSGi manifest. They depreciated this infor from the pluggin descriptor and recommend people to use the OSGi manifest instead. I would prefer that we do the same and consider the OSGi manifest and the block.xml as taking care of different concerns. Concerning what the users will need to know, I would assume that most users today doesn't know that much about the current "compile time" block system as we haven't documented how it is used or given any promisses at all about the stability of the "contracts", i.e. gump snippets and ant related stuff. So today I would guess that rather few users develop own blocks. With the arrival of real blocks this will change and users who want to develop own blocks must of course learn something new. Much as one have to learn some new things to be able to develop an Eclipse plugin. Of course we all have interest in making at easy as possible to develop new blocks and also to provide tool support for making it easy. I just want to emphasize that the real blocks not is so much about changing how things work today (something we should try to avoid), but mainly about *adding* new and more convenient ways to work. /Daniel

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
A new book of essays takes stock of where "completion agenda" stands. The volume's editors talk about key lessons from the still nascent college completion push.
While only a minority of HBCUs offer online or blended programs, the numbers are growing.
Education Department will not enforce rule requiring distance education programs to get permission to operate from every state in which they enroll students.
Western Governors U. pushes graduation even before students enroll by offering financial perks for associate degree holders and, at WGU Texas, through partnerships with community colleges.
Survey shows that totally online programs are attracting primarily women, white people and fully employed workers with good salaries -- many of whom want degrees in business.
A Senate attempt to change distance education students' eligibility for Pell Grants for living expenses sprung from concern about financial aid fraud, but some say the changes would go too far.
Another public institution embraces competency-based degree programs, this time with the help of a business.
Inside Higher Ed's survey about faculty views of online education is on point. Since I had participated by filling out the survey, I was curious about its findings. My interest surged after reading the related article by Steve Kolowich -- who noted that for professors "the rise of online education excites them more than it frightens them." According to the survey's composite data, I fit the profile of Academic Everyman. So, to flesh out the statistical bones, here are some observations by an archetypal Old Prof who wonders as he wanders through the new terrain of distance learning.
I do wonder why so many colleagues fear or avoid online education. It's established, expanding, and improving – and is an undeniable part of college teaching and learning. At a flagship state university, online education is less of a threat to job security than is the administrative penchant to hire adjuncts at a relatively low salary to teach traditional courses. Learning how to teach online probably would be one of the best steps a professor could take to assure viability in the 21st century. The most dysfunctional response by a professor today would be to dismiss or ignore both the technology and the social consequences online learning has.
Online education is neither simple nor sinister: I am not so much low tech as slow tech -- and found that being ready to teach an online course takes a long time. But the time lapse falls into two markedly different phases. To convert a graduate course I had taught in "traditional mode" for many years, last September I sought out my campus's director of distance learning programs offered by the university library and met with her and the DL staff for a long series of work sessions and carefully monitored progress reports. At each juncture the DL staff patiently yet firmly showed me why and how it was important to understand the logic and logistics of course preparation and presentation. One had to have course materials – including syllabus, weekly content, discussion topics, assignments, and links to materials – clearly in place before starting to teach.
What I found was that the more one learned about the format and understood the strengths and limits of the online technology, the more interesting and effective teaching and learning would be. Best of all, the DL professionals showed me how I could use imaginatively and effectively historical photographs, old newsreels, and archival documents as visual sources that animated the teaching and learning. They also drove home the need to gain copyright permissions and make technical arrangements to "stream" historical films, and helped me do both. In sum, they combined their stern warnings with interest and assistance. The happy result was that by November my course materials had met their standards – and I had their blessings to proceed to the second, sluice gate: official approval of my DL course by the university's faculty
The official approval process was markedly different from the course preparation experience. It combined the slow pace of regular course proposal with added delays in deliberations because it was a Distance Learning course, especially at the higher levels of universitywide review. Approval and encouragement came promptly from my department and our college curriculum committee and from my dean – all of whom had an interest in having our college venture into online courses – and who understood that time was of the essence if an online course were to be available soon to students. However, at the next levels, the Senate committee reviews involved little in the way of acquiring skills or rethinking teaching design or course substance. It was characterized by objections or clarifications about relatively small details and was marked by long periods of waiting for word of approval to go on to the next step.
After subcommittee review, the most surprising finding was that in the Senate Council, and the full Faculty Senate, there were obstructionist colleagues. One professor who was a senator raised objections and routinely voted against DL course proposals on the grounds that he did not approve of distance learning as part of the university's curriculums. The merits of a course topic, contents, proposed presentation, significance of readings and assignments and other substantive matters evidently were not pertinent to his filibusters and dissenting vote. This meant that professors who took initiative to transform existing traditional courses – or create new ones – in online mode faced unreasonable obstacles. One phase promoted thoughtful innovation; the second phase often was filled with delay and distrust
Online education is neither inherently inexpensive nor efficient: If university officials embrace distance learning as a quick fix to offer courses at low cost to a large number of students, they are mistaken. Preparation and teaching are labor-intensive. Those "guardians of standards" who are skeptical about the quality of a proposed online course struck me as wrongheaded given that there is great variance in quality among traditional courses. There may well be a latent function of fear operating here – namely, some professors are worried that their traditional courses may ultimately be in jeopardy with the proliferation of large enrollment online courses. I doubt this is a widespread or warranted fear among tenured professors. A more rational concern would be that one's failure to be able or willing to incorporate online learning in blended form with "real" courses would have declining appeal both to prospective students and to deans and provosts.
Budget-minded provosts and deans may dream of online courses as a lucrative source of new revenue streams. However, there is no guarantee that creating an online course or program is inexpensive. Nor is there any certainty that a university will lower the tuition price – even if the online course cost were eventually to cost less than a "traditional course." All the variables of effectiveness, efficiency, cost and price are subject to the same complexities, adjustments, and vacillations of any higher education program offering.
Established universities would be wise to heed the innovations taking place in all sectors of postsecondary education. I have had the opportunity for conversations with Jorge Klor de Alva, who has held academic leadership positions with the University of Phoenix as its president and, now, as president of its affiliated Nexus Research and Policy Center. He warrants the attention of traditional universities because prior to joining University of Phoenix, he was a tenured professor both at UC Berkeley and at Princeton. In short, he has the experience to talk about both traditional and for-profit higher education in their respective responses to how pedagogy has changed with technological innovations. Most surprising to me was to learn how much attention and seriousness the University of Phoenix pours into the creation and evaluation of its online courses. Its faculty and staff's attention to detail in working with instructors, designing courses, monitoring student participation and learning have been a source of innovation that often was underappreciated by traditional colleges.
Online education makes history by being part of higher education's history: Online education may be new, especially in such particulars as Internet technology. But what the luddite faculty opponents ought to recognize is that online education is merely the latest in a long succession of teaching innovations that are fueled by a combination of technological and social changes. In other words, online education is very much part of higher education's heritage:
New teaching media have long attracted outstanding scholars. For example, several years ago my wife came across a packet of letters in a secondhand store in Washington, D.C. She gave them to me because the recipient was a professor. It turns out that the packet contained the exchanges and comments of a correspondence course from 1891. Most spectacular was our finding that the professor reading and grading the correspondence examination essays was Richard Ely – at that time a professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University, who soon would join the University of Wisconsin, where he would lead one of the most influential economics departments of all time. He was no less than a founder and president of the American Economic Association.
To discover that Ely found time to teach in a new format and took seriously the evaluation of student correspondence courses was a revelation. It showed that more than a century ago, a famous professor took the plunge to participate enthusiastically in an innovative format for college level teaching and learning. It would be comparable today to having the Nobel laureate and Princeton professor Paul Krugman responding individually to an undergraduate's e-mails as part of Krugman's online course.
Between the end posts of Richard Ely teaching correspondence courses in 1891 and a distinguished professor offering online courses in 2012, there is a rich heritage of top-flight professors who embrace new media as a way of reaching extended student audiences. Today much of the publicity in higher education involves the role of Stanford, Harvard and MIT venturing into "massively open online courses."
Often overlooked is that this is a variation on a familiar theme in higher education. In 1956 ABC devoted two hours of Sunday afternoon programming to a series produced by Bell Laboratories Science Series that featured as host professor Frank Baxter of the University of Southern California, cast in the role of "Dr. Research." The one-hour shows included "Our Mister Sun" about solar energy, fuel, and food; and a show about blood and the circulatory system, "Hemo the Magnificent." Fifteen years later, PBS attracted a loyal, large national audience in 1969-70 when it broadcast each Sunday evening an episode of rofessor Kenneth Clarke's Civilisation – a series so popular that it compelled viewers to look forward to the television equivalent of western civ, instead of watching sitcoms and professional sports shows offered by the major networks.
Implications for established higher education: The Inside Higher Ed survey reinforces the point that online education persists as one of many strands that coexist in higher education. Last week, for example, a sub-theme about the forced resignation of the president of the University of Virginia evidently was the Board of Visitors' concern that new innovations such as online courses were being ignored in favor of saving classics.
The problem with such characterizations is that they set up false dichotomies – such as the wrongheaded belief that classics are at odds with online learning. My own experience is that this is not the case. For example, the skilled, patient director of distance learning programs who made my immersion into online education both effective and enjoyable brings to her role an academic background in information science – and, ahem, in classics! I fortuitously discovered this fruitful combination by the motto at the bottom of her e-mails: "Fluctuat nec mergitur" – "She is tossed by the waves, but is not drowned."
That's not a bad motto for dealing with innovation and flux in our teaching and learning. It leads me to suggest that for higher education in the 21st century, consideration of online education -- plus lectures, seminars, tutorials, independent studies, internships, field work, all of which coexist and cross-fertilize one another without eliminating any one format -- brings to mind the Latin motto of Claremont Graduate University : "multi lumina, lux una" -- "many lamps, one light..."
John Thelin is a professor at the University of Kentucky. He is author of A History of American Higher Education (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011).
Wisconsin is developing degree programs based on skills demonstrated, not courses completed. And it's doing so on its own instead of partnering with Western Governors University.
Recent events at the University of Virginia following the decision of the institution's governing board to remove its president after only two years in office have brought to light some questionable claims that have been animating educational reformers lately.
In a statement justifying the Board of Visitors' decision, the Board's rector, Helen Dragas, asserted that U.Va.'s president, Terry Sullivan, was unwilling to make the kinds of changes necessary at a time when universities like Virginia are facing an "existential threat." The times, Dragas claimed, call for a bold leader willing to impose "a much faster pace of change in administrative structure, in governance, in financial resource development and in resource prioritization and allocation" than was Sullivan. "The world," Dragas believes, "is simply moving too fast."
Dragas's comments echo those of many reformers who believe that new technologies are producing "disruptive innovation," forcing universities, which are supposedly conservative by nature and controlled by faculty who are invested in outmoded ways of doing things, to transform themselves to meet the needs of the 21st century.
The claim behind this is, quite simply, that new technologies have alone made it possible to transcend the "traditional" campus model. Whether through new learning technology on campus or through distant online education, technology will cut costs, improve access, and completely reframe the foundation of the American academy: tenure, shared governance, and the centrality of brick-and-mortar classrooms and flesh-and-blood faculty.
The problem with this refrain is that it ignores the importance of ideas and politics. As Mark Blyth of Johns Hopkins has written, disruptive innovation is not just a technological act, but one in which new contexts enable people with pre-existing ideas for reform to push their pre-existing agenda. In short, ideas can be used to determine what gets defined as a crisis and what gets defined as the appropriate solution.
In this case, the constant iteration of "disruptive innovation" provides an aura of inevitability to issues that are to be worked out on the ground through politics, on the one hand, and through decisions by specific colleges and universities, on the other hand. There is nothing inevitable about how new technology is used, what its goals are, and who will control it: these are all matters that some one -- or some group -- will decide.
The refrain of disruption is misleading. It suggests that the "traditional" college is on its last legs, when this is far from being the case. In fact, there is nothing inherently disruptive about new technologies. At their best, as the New York Times's David Brooks rightly notes, new technologies can improve colleges by allowing teachers to be more effective within classrooms.
At their worst, new technologies will be used to replace the human dimension of education with machines. But those are choices that we, as citizens, policy makers, and members of the academy are free to make. Change may be inevitable, but the direction and meaning of change are not.
For decades critics of higher education have sought to limit the centrality of the liberal arts -- and the humanities in particular -- in the American college curriculum. For decades, critics of higher education have sought to eliminate tenure and reduce shared governance to make universities more accountable to managers. For decades, critics have sought to rely on market-based ideas both to fund universities and to determine which programs are worth funding. None of these criticisms relied on new technologies. They were present in the 1970s and 1980s.
What we are really seeing is not necessarily a moment of disruptive change.
Rather, those who are already hostile to the academy are invoking the idea of disruption to convince the rest of us that the changes they desire are inevitable.
The new technologies are an excuse; the reality is that many of the changes being imposed on universities across America -- and exposed in the debates at the University of Virginia -- are not about technology and disruptive innovation but about those who have a particular vision of American higher education and want to see it happen.
In short, it's about politics and values, and there's nothing inevitable about those.

Classic Rewind: Patriots Find Safety At Mile High
The Matchup: New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos
All Time Head to Head Record: The Patriots had won ten of their first eighteen match-ups against their AFL rival in the 60s. New England then split four meetings in the 70s before losing eleven straight against John Elway's Broncos teams. The Patriots finally beat Denver after Elway's retirement, winning two straight before dropping two straight entering this 2003 match-up.
The Game: November 2, 2003 played at INVESCO Field at Mile High Denver, CO
Season Team Records: New England Patriots (6-2), Denver Broncos (5-3)
Overview: Denver was the house of horrors for New England entering their Monday Night tilt. The Patriots were 1-12 in their last 13 trips to the Mile High city.
New England and Denver were both feeling the injury bug. The Patriots have shuffled 40 players in and out of the starting line up. All Pro, Richard Seymour joined the walking wounded with a leg injury.
The Broncos were down to their third string quarterback, Danny Kanell. Starter Jake Plummer and back-up Steve Beuerlein were both injured and not available. They were also missing receiver, Ed McCaffrey and two starting linebackers.
Both teams were jockeying for position in the AFC playoff picture. This matchup was extremely important for both teams possibly dictating home field advantage come January.
Coaches: New England Patriots-Bill Belichick, Denver Broncos-Mike Shanahan
Notable Patriots: Tom Brady(qb), David Givens(wr), Deion Branch(wr), Ken Walter(p), Asante Samuel(db), Adam Vinatieri(k)
Notable Broncos: Danny Kanell(qb), Clinton Portis(rb), Deltha O'Neal(kr), Jason Elam(k), Kenoy Kennedy(db)
Interesting Note: The Patriots were riding a four game winning streak and Denver lost two straight after starting out 5-1.
The Game: Monday Night football pitted two former AFL franchises in a key AFC conference battle. The Patriots arrived in Denver on fire, rattling off four straight wins against the Titans, Giants, Dolphins, and Browns after a 2-2 start.
Denver, on the hand, was reeling after two straight losses to Minnesota and Baltimore. They were left with their
third straight quarterback. The Broncos would have to serve a heavy dose of Clinton Portis to offset the lack of passing game.
The one dimensional Denver offense hit pay dirt first. Running back, Clinton Portis opened up the scoring with a 15 yard scamper for a touchdown. The Broncos capitalized on a Tom Brady fumble on their opening drive. Denver would only need 4 plays to score from the Patriots' 28 yard line.
The disastrous beginning continued for Brady and the Patriots. Kenoy Kennedy, who recovered Brady's fumble, picked off a Patriots pass to give the Broncos the ball once again. The drive stalled and Jason Elam missed a 43 yard field goal.
The Patriots dodged a bullet and avoided going down 10-0 at a hostile INVESCO Field.
Tom Brady shook off his horrendous start and regained his composure. As soon as he got the ball back, he converted. Brady connected with Deion Branch on a 66 yard bomb and before you could get your popcorn, it was all tied up at 7-7.
In the second quarter, the kickers were very busy. Adam Vinatieri and Jason Elam both connected on kicks of forty plus yards to square the game at 10-10.
Danny Kanell showed some poise and grit leading the Broncos on a 14 play 72 yard march. He connected on intermediate passes and Clinton Portis continued to run well. The Patriots also committed three costly penalties that kept the drive alive.
As the half winded down, Kanell connected with running back, Mike Anderson for a 1 yard score. The Broncos were ready to bring a 17-10 lead into the locker room.
Kick returner, Bethel Johnson, had something to say about that. With only 24 ticks left on the clock, Johnson took the kick 63 yards to get the Patriots in field goal range.
Vinatieri connected on a 46 yard booming kick and cut the Denver lead to four points. The score was now 17-13, after an exciting first half on Monday Night Football.
The Patriots took the lead mid way though the third quarter with Tom Brady's second touchdown pass to tight end, Daniel Graham. New England now led 20-17. The Patriots now had the momentum.
Could the Broncos swing pendulum back?
Special teams have already played a vital role in this game with Bethel Johnson's return to set up a field goal. The Broncos Deltha O'Neal wanted to get into the game and make his presence known on prime time TV.
After Brady's touchdown pass, Denver and New England both went three and out on the next two possessions of the game. Patriots' punter, Ken Walter, kicked the ball a mile high that pinned the Broncos deep in their own end.
One problem. Holding penalty on New England.
This penalty would prove costly. Walter re-kicked the ball to the speedy and shifty Denver returner, Deltha O'Neal. He took the punt and raced 57 yards for the touchdown.
Denver was on top yet again, 24-20 as the third quarter came to a close.
Could Tom Brady orchestrate another fourth quarter comeback?
New England took the opening possession in the final frame down to the Denver 10 but had to settle for a 28 yard field goal. The scoreboard now read, Denver 24 New England 23.
After a few fruitless possessions for both teams, Denver put together a drive that stalled at the New England 35 yard line.
Coach, Mike Shanahan, had a dilemma. A long field goal attempt would be a plausible option. One problem, Jason Elam pulled his groin earlier in the game and would never make such a long kick.
Shanahan chose to punt the ball deep and pin the Patriots against their own goal line.
Surprisingly, Brady threw three straight incomplete passes in the shadow of his own end zone.
The game of chess would continue.
This time it was Bill Belichick's move. Most coaches would punt the ball and hope his defense could get the ball back for his offense.
Belichick is not like most coaches.
He called for an intentional safety.
Yes an intentional safety.
No one could believe Belichick would make such a bold move.
People's memories must be short.
Belichick took an intentional safety three years earlier against these same Denver Broncos. The Patriots won 28-19.
Ken Walter now had a free kick from his 20 yard line rather than from the back of his end zone.
Belichick's gutsy decision paid dividends.
Walter's kick from the 20 yard travelled to Denver's 15 yard line. Deltha O'Neal had no room to run and the kick coverage was perfect. O'Neal could not make a big play like he did earlier in the game.
The Broncos were backed up deep in their end, but they had a 26-23 lead. Kanell and the offense just needed to convert a few first downs to make Belichick's intentional safety a moot point.
Portis was able to amass 9 of his 111 yards on this drive. However, a penalty cost Denver 5 yards on third down. Kanell and Broncos now faced third and 6 yards to go with 2:31 remaining.
Kanell's pass fell incomplete and the Patriots would get the ball back.
Belichick's master plan was coming to fruition.
Now Denver was kicking from the shadow of their end zone, but didn't have the time to take an intentional safety of their own.
Troy Brown took the punt and returned the ball to Denver's 42 yard line with 2:15 remaining. New England only had one timeout plus the two minute warning to stop the clock. They had plenty of time to go for a tying field goal or a go ahead touchdown.
Sounds like the team's first Super Bowl victory versus the Rams. They could be content with a tie or go for a win.
Brady only believes in going for it all and that's just what he did.
Brady connected with running back, Kevin Faulk on passes of 5, 19, and 16 yards. Faulk continued to show his consistency and versatility as an all purpose back.
The Patriots drove down to the Denver 18 yard line with about one minute left on the clock. Brady (20 for 35 for 350 yards and 3 td's) found wide receiver, David Givens on a pass that he had to adjust on by the pylon. He crossed the goal line and the Patriots took an impossible 30-26 lead.
Could Denver counter New England's latest hay maker?
Kanell was in position to do his best John Elway or now Tom Brady impression. Unfortunately, for Broncos fans, Danny Kanell is no Elway, Brady, or even Jake "The Snake" Plummer.
On second down from his 13 yard line, Kanell threw an ill advised pass right to Patriots corner, Asante Samuel. The Patriots took over on the costly turnover and kneeled down on the ball.
This game exemplified how important coaching is in football. If Belichick didn't call for the intentional safety, the Patriots probably wouldn't be in position to tie or win the game.
Coaches coach, players play, and champions win.
Post Script: The Patriots would not lose again during the regular season. They would finish 14-2 and win the AFC East with ease. After a bye, the Patriots defeated Tennessee in the divisional playoffs then Indianapolis at home for the AFC Crown.
The Patriots would face Carolina in Super Bowl XXXVIII and would win their second championship in three years, 32-29 on Adam Vinatieri's last second field goal.
The Broncos would go 5-2 down the stretch and finish 2nd in the AFC West. They earned a playoff berth in the Wild Card round versus the Colts. Indianapolis defeated the Broncos in a close battle, 10-7.
