How Do You Feel About Followers on Facebook?
subscribing. It's just like "following" on Twitter or Facebook. By using the new subscribing feature you can follow the public posts of people on Facebook without actually "friending" them.
It was inevitable that this would arrive. First, they added the public feature which is useless unless the public can see the posts. Second, they need to keep up with all the cool features over at Google+. Google+ allows its users to follow people like Twitter and segment people better than Facebook which makes it the coolest social media outlet (though the most complex) right now.
How are Facebook fans going to react?
I am most curious to see how people are going to react to the new changes. Facebook has been a closed society and many people like it that way. Are people going to embrace subscribing or are they going to reject it outright and continue to post strictly among their own friends?
I can see bloggers using the public and subscribe feature for posting their blogs. If your blog is posted publicly on the internet why not post it publicly on Facebook too, right?
The only flaw in this is the reaction of friends in closed communities. There might be a backlash from them if they feel encroached upon by seeing public posts in their mix. People will certainly need to be more careful about leaving comments if they are commenting on a public post.
The Shake Down
Anyone on Facebook who is also on Twitter or Google+ is not going to have any adjustment issues. They are already used to a public environment or the subtle nuance of total control. The big shake down is going to occur with people who have remained insulated on Facebook. The new options are going to be a shock. Some will embrace them and others will reject them.
Perhaps Facebook is getting it wrong. Perhaps their strength lies in the fact that they are now the only large, closed social media outlet. Maybe they are missing the boat trying to be like everyone else. At least they were smart enough to make the subscribe feature optional. It does not go into effect unless you turn it on.
What are you going to do? Do you think the public feature and subscribing is a good thing for Facebook or not.

Marian, I love it! Facebook did already have public posts, but it was called 'Everyone' instead of 'Public'.ReplyDelete
I think it will return Facebook to the way it was supposed to be. I have friends on FB that I have never met, and sometimes i don't even recognise their names when I see them. I accepted the friend requests because it was the only way to see what they had to say, but really, this is what subscribing is for. If you post a link to your blog on facebook it may as well be public, and if I subscribe I can see it.
My blog already has a Facebook page, so people who want to subscribe to my blog via Facebook can do so by clicking "like." This isn't new for blogs.ReplyDelete
It's new for people though--this allows people to subscribe to me personally. My feeling is that if people want to follow me that closely but DON'T want to actually friend me, they're probably weirdos. I can live with weirdos, but I'd rather they stalk me via my blog rather than Facebook, so I can at least get the page views out of the deal. Having Facebook profit from weirdo stalkers seems dumb to me.
I've used all those lists in Facebook for some time now. I have two blogs and Twitter and G+ accounts but don't post to the last two. Why? Because -- in contrast -- I like the control I have over who views my postings. I can control right down to the individuals who can or cannot see them. I like the closed social situation that I can use in Facebook; it's nice to have one available among the various social options. I see it as an advantage over the other milieus. Oh, no, does this make me a "social luddite"?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the thought provoking post. I posted my comments here: Follow me…. no don't….. okay, follow me - wait, don't. http://www.1ancestry2littletime.com/2011/09/16/the-tech-savvy-genealogists-meme/#axzz1Y4gOhxG6ReplyDelete
Oops put the wrong link above - yikes! not so tech saavy, am I?ReplyDelete
Ironically, I've gone the opposite way since writing this post. Instead of encouraging folks to subscribe to me on Facebook, I set up a page for my Symbolic Past blog and will encourage people to go there if they want status updates in their NewsFeed. This is just an experiment and I wait and see how it goes. Anyone who wants to check it out can go to http://www.facebook.com/SymbolicPastReplyDelete
I have a facebook page facebook.com/Kathleen Brandt, that the world can connect to. It's really for my blog and business. Google+ is used in the same manner, but with the restrictions of the Circles, Twitter is open and anyone can follow my blog. The last thing I want is to mix my personal life with business, so FB for me is limited to family and friends. It's my retreat away from colleagues, contemporaries and peers.ReplyDelete

A Shining Example: RPTA Alum Honored with National Award
December 14, 2011
MACOMB, IL -- Michael Bradley had a few programs on his list when he was considering a master's graduate program. After earning his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University-Stillwater in 2005, his goal was to continue his studies in the recreation and leisure field. He loved the idea of a career in which he would be working in the outdoors. He also knew it was his great-grandfather's wish for him to earn an advanced degree. Back in 2006, when he was considering graduate programs to help him reach his goal and make his grandfather's wish come true, he admits that he was "unsure" about the prospect of pursuing a master's degree in Western Illinois University's Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Administration (RPTA); he had been accepted into other reputable programs at the University of Tennessee and the University of Houston.
Bradley completed his master's degree in 2008, and today, he knows Western's RPTA graduate program was the right choice. His time here resulted in the fulfillment of his great-grandfather's wish for him. In addition, his academic work in the program and his graduate assistant duties in Campus Recreation helped set him on his current path, which is now back at OSU-Stillwater, where he is a Ph.D. candidate in the health, leisure and human performance department. Bradley is finishing his dissertation in the program this month.
It is in that OSU-Stillwater program that he was nominated for the prestigious annual National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Outstanding Graduate Student Award. Earlier this year, Bradley was notified he had indeed won the award for 2011, which he accepted at the NRPA Congress and Exposition last month in Atlanta (GA). According to the NRPA website, the Outstanding Graduate Student Award "is presented to an outstanding graduate student in recognition of continuous extraordinary community service or contributions to the field." Based on these criteria, as well as Bradley's performance at WIU, Dan Yoder, a professor and graduate coordinator in WIU's RPTA department, noted that he was not at all surprised when he heard Bradley won.
"He is extremely bright, he is very analytical and he is an absolute bull dog when it comes to academic work. That is a winning combination," Yoder said. "He was a wonderful graduate student in the RPTA department because he was so engaged. He always had well thought out questions and comments. He was not simply talking to be talking. When Mike was sitting in class, you could tell just by looking at him that there was a lot going on in there."
When asked about his recent recognition, Bradley responded humbly, noting his main nominator, Grace Chang, an OSU-Stillwater faculty member in leisure studies, "somehow or another made a diamond in the rough shine."
"At first, I did not know who had nominated me for it. I later found out Dr. Grace Chang was the one who did," Bradley explained. "I know there were a couple of other students in the running for this award, and I have been involved with them via various national organizations. They are stellar, so for me to win… well, I just have to say, whatever she said in the nomination process, I owe her a huge thank you."
Illuminating Exchanges
Bradley noted that two helpful phone conversations—one with Campus Recreation Associate Director Judy Yeast and another with Yoder—put him on the path to seriously considering Western. But, he said, it was another alum who helped him "get over the hump." He said that Deb Jordan told him he should forget the other programs he was considering and told him to move up to west central Illinois to study in WIU's RPTA program.
"It was by chance that I talked to Deb about my options," Bradley explained. "During the time I was trying to decide where to go, she was a faculty member here at OSU-Stillwater. (She is now at East Carolina University.) I remember her telling me, 'This is an opportunity you do not want to miss. People from other programs may be telling you great things, but I am telling you, Western Illinois University is where you need to go.' And so I thought, 'I have had two great phone discussions with two wonderful people there at WIU, and I have one stellar review from someone I respect who has gone through the program.' So I said to myself, 'That's it. WIU is where I'm going to go.'"
Bradley noted that a recent trip back to Macomb reaffirmed his decision to attend Western back in 2006 and made him realize, once again, the value of the relationships he formed at WIU.
"Last April, I attended the RPTA department's professional development conference, and a friend of mine, Jody Baker, attended with me. When we were talking about WIU and our experience at the conference, Jody hit the nail on the head. He said, 'That's the most caring university I have ever seen in my life.' When we walked in, everyone who I talked to remembered me—they knew exactly who I was, what my circumstances were and what I am doing now. I think that is what made the difference for me. Everybody genuinely cares about your success. If you are willing to put forth the effort, they are willing to do what it takes to help you. I think that speaks volumes about WIU."

The Day I Was Diagnosed With HIV
By B. Osten
March 8, 2012
The year was 1987. I remember it was raining that day. I woke up to what I thought was vertigo. It turned out to be a form of toxemia. In other words, a bacterial infection. An opportunistic infection that occurs in individuals who have weakened immune systems. If the news of being HIV+ wasn't devastating enough, I contracted a staph infection during my stay in the hospital to boot.
Like many of my generation, the answer to HIV and AIDS was "Don't ask. Don't tell." I never thought the reality of it would hit so close to home. Unbeknownst to me, my partner of eleven years was diagnosed with AIDS the previous year. Reflecting back, the telltale signs of the disease were in plain sight. I guess I just refused to see it. But truthfully, I was ignorant of it. And continued to be for some time even after my diagnosis. You see, my partner was very controlling, manipulative and abusive. Even years after our relationships ended, I still remained in a dysfunctional friendship with him. My new life doesn't allow him in it. Not out of hate but out of love. Love for myself. It's been a very, very long time since I could say that.
Like many infected with HIV at the time, I went underground. Underground clubs that is. Falling into the lure of the music, the dancing, and ultimately the drugs. But, unlike most of the tweakers, I wasn't promiscuous at all. Quite the opposite. I didn't frequent bathhouses, cruise the parks or back alleys. Rarely did I have a one night stand. I attribute this to being a long time survivor of the virus.
The day I was diagnosed with HIV was the day I became responsible. Responsible for my past, present and future discretions.

Positive Thinking
B. Osten
I've been living with HIV for 26 years. I volunteer at various AIDS organizations in my community in the day. At night I like to spend my time at the observatory. I couldn't tell you the names of all the planets offhand, or what a black hole is for sure. But, there isn't a day that goes by I haven't looked up at the night sky and thanked my lucky stars I'm still alive to enjoy it.

System.Configuration.Install Namespace
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
The System.Configuration.Install namespace provides classes that allow you to write custom installers for your own components. The Installer class is the base class for all custom installers in the.NET Framework.
Loads an assembly, and runs all the installers in it.
Specifies an installer that copies properties from a component to use at install time.
Contains information about the current installation.
Provides the foundation for custom installations.
Contains a collection of installers to be run during an installation.
Provides data for the events: BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, Committing, Committed, BeforeRollback, AfterRollback, BeforeUninstall, AfterUninstall.
The exception that is thrown when an error occurs during the commit, rollback, or uninstall phase of an installation.
This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Represents a managed install.
Defines an installer that either succeeds completely or fails and leaves the computer in its initial state.
This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Provides an interface for a managed installer.
Represents the method that will handle the BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, Committing, Committed, BeforeRollback, AfterRollback, BeforeUninstall, or AfterUninstall event of an Installer.
Specifies what an installer should do during an uninstallation.
Through the Installers property, an installer contains a collection of other installers as children. As the installer is executed, it cycles through its children and calls Install, Commit, Rollback, or Uninstall. For an example of an object in the Installers collection, see EventLogInstaller.
The Context property contains information about the installation. For example, information about the location of the log file for the installation, the location of the file that saves information required by the Uninstall method, and the command line that was entered when the installation executable was run. For an example of an installation executable, see Installutil.exe (Installer Tool).
The Install, Commit, Rollback, and Uninstall methods are not always called on the same instance of Installer. For example, you might use an Installer to install and commit an application, and then release the reference to that Installer. Later, uninstalling the application creates a new reference to an Installer, which means that the Uninstall method is called on a different instance of Installer. For this reason, do not save the state of a computer in an installer. Instead, use an IDictionary that is preserved across calls and passed into the Install, Commit, Rollback, and Uninstall methods.

General Accounting
The Goal of the Office of the Controller is to provide accurate reporting of all funds received from students (or for students) in connection with the payment of tuition and fees. This Office works in close conjunction with the offices of the Bursar, Financial Aid, Vice President of Student Affairs, and the Department of Information Technology to design, record, and accurately report over $50 million in tuition revenue per year.
In addition to their tuition and fees reporting responsibilities, another goal of the Office is to provide accurate recording and reporting of non-tax-levy funds (those funds which the College manages that are neither State legislated nor disbursed through the University's Central Office). Thus, the Office maintains record keeping for such entities as the Lehman College Auxiliary Enterprise Corporation, Lehman College Association for Campus Activities, Lehman College Art Gallery, and the Student Child Care Center. In order to carry out these responsibilities, the Office of the Controller also has oversight responsibility of the Student Financial Services and the Office of Campus Activities.

LAS VEGAS -- Two police officers and a third person were killed by two gunmen in Las Vegas on Sunday, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokeswoman Laura Meltzer.
The attackers first opened fire and killed the officers at about 11:30 a.m. as they were eating lunch, she said.
Witnesses told police that the gunmen said "this is a revolution."
The shooters then crossed a street and went to a Walmart where the third person was killed at the store's entrance, Meltzer said.
The suspects then killed themselves, she said.
Walmart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan released a statement: "We express our deepest condolences to everyone who have been affected by this senseless act of violence."
The store is closed, and the company is working with investigators, the statement said.AlertMe

you contradicted yourself. preventing people from messing with the internals means they do not have to be aware of any hidden fields that are stored in the parent class. if they cannot mess with the internals, they do not need to be aware. it is not worrying about something that you are not able to do.
anyone who designs an api, they may set expectations. if the designer wishes you not to muck around with internals, that is his choice. he can promote that if he pleases. mistyping may not be a minor issue for some. typos create all kinds of bugs.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Ameer Abdullah ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and Nebraska took control of the Big Ten Legends Division with a 23-9 victory over No. 20 Michigan on Saturday night.
Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson left the game late in the first half with a right elbow injury. Robinson, who spent the second half on the sideline in an overcoat, watched as freshman backup Russell Bellomy threw three interceptions.
The Huskers (6-2, 3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Michigan in the Legends but own the tiebreaker.
Michigan (5-3, 3-1) generated a season-low 188 yards during its first visit to Memorial Stadium since 1911. The Wolverines had 52 in the second half.
It was the second straight game Michigan failed to score a touchdown.
Taylor Martinez was 14 of 24 for 166 yards, with an interception. Bellomy was 3 of 16 for 38 yards.

OGDEN — A Layton lawyer plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop for the GOP nomination for the seat, citing what he views as the inability of the current slate of federal legislators to get things done.
"The people's business is not getting done, because it's broken. It's broken down (along) ideological lines and tribal affiliations and no one is reaching across," Kevin Probasco, who served in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, said here Monday in formally announcing his campaign. "We can't even come up with a budget because we're fighting so much."
Meanwhile, another Democrat filed paperwork to run for the seat, Lee Castillo, a social worker from Layton. In his campaign Facebook page, Castillo said he'd work to make sure "all voices are heard" and touted the importance of assuring access to affordable healthcare and protecting the environment.
"I am running for Congress in House District 1 because Utahns deserve better, America deserves better," said Castillo.
Story continues below photo.
The race for the 1st District post has already drawn interest. Bishop, a former school teacher from Brigham City, will be seeking his ninth and, if he wins, last term. He filed papers Monday with state election officials formally declaring plans to seek re-election but didn't immediately respond to a query seeking comment.
Others who previously announced plans to run for the seat include Democrat Kurt Weiland of Bountiful, United Utah Party hopeful Eric Eliason of Logan and the Green Party's Adam Davis of South Jordan.

RELATED: U.S. Rep. Bishop to step down after next term, presuming he wins in 2018
Probasco, 63, who vied unsuccessfully for the 1st District seat in 2002, described himself as a "small government fiscal conservative" and cited the example of Ronald Reagan, the former Republican president. He plans to petition for a place on the June 26 GOP primary and will need 7,000 valid signatures to do so, he said.
"It wasn't even so much his politics. It was the fact that he was a pleasant, nice, friendly engaging man," said Probasco, who made his announcement outside Union Station here. "He didn't attack you, he didn't slam you. He didn't do any of those things. He made you feel good, even if you disagreed with him."
Beyond that, Probasco's message seemed focused on allowing the voices of a broader cross-section of people to be heard and bringing a new perspective to the 1st District post.
"The seat belongs to the people of the district, not to the representative, no matter how many terms they've served. At some point, it's time to let go of that representative, with our sincere appreciation, and let others take up the business of being a public servant to the people," he said.
Castillo, 40, plans to seek the Democratic nomination for the House post at the party's convention, according to paperwork he filed Friday with state election officials. He's a clinician at the Utah State Hospital, used to work at the Utah Division of Child and Family Services and has worked extensively with the homeless.
He expressed concern with the divisiveness he hears and senses from the administration of President Donald Trump and other federal lawmakers, including Bishop. He's hearing an uptick in racially tinged talk, which is putting black and Hispanic people on edge.
"Our children are watching these actions on television and they're learning how to behave from these people in powerful positions," he said by phone Monday. The racial talk, he said, is "really concerning."
On the environment, he expressed concern about exploitation of the land here
"We don't want big business coming in and devastating our beautiful lands," Castillo said in his Facebook page.

Educate yourself on the world's biggest video streaming service 📺
When it comes to video streaming companies, few are as iconic as Netflix. What started out as a DVD rental service quickly turned into the world's largest platform for binging old movies, classic TV shows, and a heap of original programming.
No matter if you're looking to cut your cable cord or simply want some extra content to supplement it, Netflix can be a great addition to any household's entertainment needs.
To ensure it has exactly what you're looking for in a video service, here's everything you need to know!

August 17, 2018 — Small video promos (aka commercials) are playing between episodes for some users

Everything we know about what'll likely be one of the year's best phones.
Google first introduced its Pixel series in 2016, and since then, has been hard at work to establish itself as a serious player in the smartphone market. Google may be one of the most powerful and iconic companies in the world, but when it comes to hardware, is still very much a newcomer.
We saw vast improvements with the Pixel 2 compared to the original Pixel line, and we're expecting to get that again with the Pixel 3. Google's quickly learning what it takes to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple, and seeing as how the Pixel 2 was one of 2017's best phones, there's a lot riding on this year's entry.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's everything we know so far about the Google Pixel 3.

The gadget is being developed exclusively for China.
Thanks to devices like the Google Home and Amazon Echo, smart speakers have exploded in popularity over the last couple years. We've seen companies like Apple, Sony, and Lenovo try their own hand at this market, and according to a report from AndroidPure, Motorola's now gearing up to launch its first smart speaker.
Currently named the "Moto AI", the speaker is being designed specifically with the Chinese market in mind and is powered by Baidu's DuerOS rather than Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Like other smart speakers, you'll be able to use the Moto AI to find out stock prices, current news, weather, stream music, create reminders/timers, etc.
Along with all the above features, the Moto AI will feature a kids mode that'll automatically be turned on if it detects that a child is speaking to it. There will also be integrations with other companies such as Lifesmart, Haier, and more.
On the technical side of things, the Mot…

I hope you're ready for your daily dose of Nexus Prime rumors, 'cause we have a good one for you today. Thanks to a "trusted tipster," the guys over at GSMArena have managed to get their hands on a few bits of information about the Nexus Prime. As with most rumors that come our way, we ask you to take them for what they are: just rumors and nothing else.
If you're getting too attached to the Nexus Prime name, don't. According to GSMArena, the Nexus Prime name is just a code name. Instead, the device will launch as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Confused? We are too. I'm having a hard time believing that Google is going to get rid of the "Nexus" brand, but anything can happen.
The GSMArena tipster has also confirmed that the Prime will launch with a 4.65-inch screen and a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. We've heard this same spec from various sources by now, so it's pretty safe to assume that they're real. Supposedly, the Prime will also have a curved screen like the Nexus S. It seems someone at Google is a pretty big fan of them.
The device is also said to be 8.8 millimeters thick, making it just a hair thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S II. Surprisingly, the Prime will also feature a metal chassis, said GSMArena. This is a huge departure for Samsung, who's notorious for making the most plasticky devices around. Personally, I hope this rumor turns out to be true.
Finally, GSMArena says we can expect the Prime to arrive in the US by the end of October. This lines up perfectly with Eric Schmidt's October/November release window for Ice Cream Sandwich and another rumor that popped up last month.
With October just a few weeks away, rumors and leaks about the Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich are only going to increase from now on. Hold on to your popcorn, the pre-launch rumorpalooza has officially started.

Over 40 years ago, a certain socialite had a special request. Tiffany's legendary designer Jean Schlumberger was happy to oblige; and the Lynn collection was born. Today, Tiffany artisans faithfully replicate the designs with dynamic Xs of 18k gold or platinum illuminated by quartets of diamonds.
In 1956, Jean Schlumberger joined Tiffany & Co. Immediately, his designs were coveted and collected by the world's most fashionable women, including Jacqueline Kennedy and legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland. Today, they continue to be worn by women of unimpeachable taste.
Tiffany's reputation for finding the world's most spectacular diamonds dates back to 1848. That year, founder Charles Lewis Tiffany acquired a large cache of important jewels, earning him the moniker "The King of Diamonds."

Bill Staniszewski will graduate from Penn State New Kensington without debt. While many college students get help from their parents, he is getting help from Mother Nature.
Staniszewski, a sophomore in the mechanical engineering technology (MET) program, is paying tuition with the profits from his landscaping business. While in high school, he, along with his brothers, Joe and Rick, co-founded Parkview Lawn and Landscapes LLC for the purpose of financing their college educations. The startup business was partially funded through the Entrepreneur Program of the StrongLand Chamber of Commerce.
"My brothers and I started the company to pay for college," said Staniszewski, a graduate of St. Joseph High School. "StrongLand's young entrepreneur program really helped us to get off the ground."
StrongLand, which serves Armstrong and Westmoreland counties, offers the program to 10th-, 11th- and 12th-graders who are interested in starting their own business. Thirty-two high schools students have gone through the program in the last four years.
Staniszewski and his brothers participated in the seven-week, 14-hour course that includes instruction on deciding a business direction, writing a business plan and developing marketing materials. His business model was selected for startup funding.
"Strongland provided us not only with money but also with invaluable information about how to run a business and make it successful," said Staniszewski, a New Kensington resident.
The company, based in Apollo, provides professional landscape and design, and installation services, as well as lawn care services including fertilization, hedge trimming, seasonal cleanup and grass cutting. The brothers, along with their parents, Bill and Margie Staniszewski, run the day-to-day operations. Rick is a freshman at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, and Joe attends St. Joseph. Bill Sr. is a Penn State alumnus. Younger brothers Ben, an eighth-grader at Mary Queen of Apostles and Danny, a home-schooled first-grader, will join the family business in the future. Bill Jr. is the jack-of-all-trades for the company.
"I work in all areas of the company from sales to customer service to the financial and legal aspects," Staniszewski said. "I also do the actual manual labor which includes building walls, moving mulch and mowing lawns."
Although there is tuition gold in the green grass provided by Mother Nature, Staniszewski wants to move away from the mowing side of the business and concentrate on mulching and landscape design. He purchased CAD (computer-aided design) software to facilitate the process. The brothers will market their new services at StrongLand's annual Home Expo, Feb. 8 to 10, at the Pittsburgh Mills mall in Tarentum.
"Our best method of marketing is word of mouth, followed by the StrongLand home show," Staniszewski said. "We have had a booth in the home show for the past several years. We have also run direct mail ads and go door to door."
Although Staniszewski runs a business while being a full-time student, he still has time to enjoy the extracurricular activities associated with college life. He is president of the Engineering Club and vice president of the Lion Ambassadors, two student organizations, and a member of the campus' THON committee. THON is a University-wide dance marathon that raises money for pediatric cancer research.
He was recently honored by being selected as one of four dancers to represent the campus at THON, Feb. 17 to 19, at the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State University Park. The 46-hour, no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon is believed to be the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. Last year, THON raised more than $10 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
"I got involved with THON because I wanted to be involved in a charitable organization that supported both cancer research, and dealing with child loss and illness," Staniszewski said. "My grandfather died of cancer, and my mother has had several miscarriages."
Staniszewski will earn his associate degree in May. He plans to continue his MET studies in the bachelor's program at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College or join Joe at Franciscan to pursue a bachelor's degree in business.

General Information About the School
The School of Health Professions and Education is home to undergraduate health related programs in nursing, psychology-child life, therapeutic recreation, and health studies, masters programs in occupational therapy (both traditional and in a weekend format), and two doctor of physical therapy programs. A minor and certificate program in gerontology and undergraduate and graduate programs in teacher education are also housed in this school.
The School of Health Professions and Education houses an institute:
- The Institute of Gerontology, founded in 1980, is directed by Professor Catherine Brownell, Ph.D.
Highlights of the School
Award-winning faculty
The School of Health Professions and Education includes award-winning faculty. Three recipients of the prestigious Virgil Crisafulli Distinguished Teaching Award — the highest teaching honor at the College — come from this school. One faculty member taught the post-graduate child life curriculum at Kuwait University, another provided physical therapy to children in Albany with three students. One was selected as "Young Forensic Scientist" by the American Academy of Forensic Science, one was selected to receive the national award for service to the Acute Care section of the American Physical Therapy Association, and another was recognized as Outstanding Pediatric Physical Therapist by the national organization of the physical therapy profession.
Educational opportunity and accessibility
A priority for the programs in this school is to make education accessible to all students. Our recent grant activity reflects this focus. Programs in this school have received almost two million dollars in recent years to:
- assist underrepresented students in the nursing program,
- make Utica College courses more inclusive and more accessible to students with disabilities, and
- assist allied health faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to infuse gerontological information into their curriculum.
- Provide geriatric education to practitioners.
Interdisciplinary and community learning opportunities
The faculty in this school provide many interdisciplinary and community opportunities for our students such as the Student Interdisciplinary Team Experience. Students from various health related programs present a team meeting to discuss the assessment and intervention plans for a client. Initially grant funded, the school provides an interdisciplinary experience for students to work with community groups to provide mental health services to elders.
Examples of community opportunities include:
- Our education students coordinate a breakfast reading club at an elementary school and are beginning an after school literacy program for the parents.
- Therapeutic Recreation students assist at Senior Olympics and have ongoing programs with a local facility for adolescents.
- Physical Therapy students work with elders at a local senior citizen center on balance and fall prevention.
- Our students in health related programs assist immigrant elders to use the health care system and to prepare for naturalization.
- Our occupational therapy faculty conduct handwriting workshops for children and adults.
Research opportunities
Faculty in the School of Health Professions and Education involve both graduate and undergraduate students in research. Students have presented their research at our student research day, at state, regional, and national professional meetings, and have published their work in professional journals and as a book chapter.

I've never used a belly putter or a broomstick, and never will. Anchoring these longer putters to your stomach, chin or chest is unquestionably an unfair advantage. But for everyday amateur golfers who've made the switch to longer putters, I don't think they should be banned from continuing to anchor them as they choose.

The USGA should include a provision to make anchoring long putters legal for amateurs until 2030.
When the USGA outlawed square grooves in irons in 2010, it did so with the provision that it wouldn't impact amateurs until 2024.
The same principle should be true for these controversial putting styles, for several reasons.
Amateurs have paid $200 or more for long putters figuring that they would always be legal, copying the style of tour pros.
Higher handicappers in particular are feeling good about their games because the new putting style is lowering their handicaps.
That makes the sport more enjoyable, which translates to more people wanting to play more often. That is the goal of PGA club professionals everywhere.
Many have converted to long putters for health reasons — whether it's because of back problems or nerves, especially for senior golfers. Extending the time line until 2030 — the rule won't take effect until 2016 — would keep many seniors from having to change the way they putt.
And keeping anchoring legal for amateurs will speed up the pace of play, one of the most important issues in the game. How many times have you been behind a foursome that obviously has a wager going and nothing is conceded? Getting the ball in the hole sooner is better.
There's still time for such a provision to become part of the new rule banning the anchoring of long putters.
The USGA and the Royal & Ancient are taking public comments on the issue before they finalize the rule in early 2013.
Golfers can e-mail comments to the USGA at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Comments can be mailed to: Rules of Golf (Rule 14-1), United States Golf Association, P.O. Box 708, 77 Liberty Corner Rd., Far Hills, NJ 07931-0708.
For tour pros, however, I fully support the ban on anchoring. Golf's ruling bodies should be a tad embarrassed by their decision to eliminate anchoring — not because they finally made the appropriate ruling, but because it took so long.
The rule should have been applied at the point where the embarrassment factor for tour pros was outweighed by the desire to extend their careers and be more competitive for millions in prize money and sponsorships. Anchoring should have been excluded before teenagers and collegiate golfers adopted them, and before club manufacturers invested heavily in the equipment.
Adopting separate rules for tour pros and amateurs will always be extremely difficult over the long run.
Banning anchoring for top amateurs in USGA championships is appropriate.
But for millions of amateurs who play for fun and competition at the local level, extending the window on anchoring is the right thing to do for the good of the game.
Peleti "Lu" Pa'u Leota of Lakeland aced the 11th hole at Huntington Hills Nov. 30, hitting a 4-iron from 166 yards.
It was one of the most remarkable holes-in-one of the year in Polk County.
Leota, 70, suffered two hemorrhagic strokes seven years ago that caused blindness in the right half of both eyes.
His wife, Robin, said Leota can't see to the right of his nose, but because the native Samoan plays right-handed and was a low-handicapper previously, he can still see well enough to strike the ball.
Robin said the driving range has been his rehab therapy.
Nice going, Mr. Leota!

Saturday , February 10, 2018 - 8:36 PM
More than five months ago, Kaygen Canfield tore the ACL in his right knee while jumping over the goal line for the Bear River football team against Juan Diego in the Bears' season opener.
His football season was done and so was his wrestling season before it even started — except, somehow, it wasn't. Saturday night at the 4A state wrestling championships at Utah Valley University, Canfield tasted glory.
Canfield won his third straight wrestling state championship, hanging on to a 1-0 decision to beat Mountain Crest's Brayden Guthrie in the 4A 152-pound championship match.
Canfield called his win, which he secured with an escape in the second period, relief more than anything.
"It's hard to believe, I don't know, I still felt that pressure like last year," Canfield said by phone Saturday. "I felt the pressure to win it again ... I still felt that same pressure even though I shouldn't have. That pressure is what kept pushing me."
Canfield started walking two weeks after his surgery, then started an advanced rehab program in December. He and his friend, Maverik Skinner — who tore his ACL the day before Canfield did — would wake up at 4:30 a.m. every day to drive to Logan for 5:30 a.m. rehab sessions.
After a month of that, Canfield was ready to return to the mat. But things were a little different.
"I thought that the tough part was going to be coming back from my injury. The real tough part was learning how to wrestle with it," he said.
He had to lead with his other leg and learn some new moves to do on top. The first tournament Canfield wrestled in this season was the Richardson Memorial at Box Elder High in January.
"The whole year my coach has been telling me this is possible, if you wrestle in the state tournament that's a win, if you win the state tournament that's legendary," Canfield said.
Canfield wasn't the only Bear to go home a winner. Bear River 220-pounder Logan Pond won a state championship with a 5-2 decision win against Snow Canyon's Tuiits Kanosh.
The Bears as a team finished fourth with 153 points and Mountain Crest won the team championship with 253. Bonneville's Austin Bush fell in the 106-pound finals against Payson's Cole Jensen.
3A WRESTLING: Trussell finishes unbeaten
There's something about three that has a nice ring to it.
Morgan wrestler Chase Trussell won his third straight state championship and finished the season with a perfect 54-0 record after a second-period pin over South Summit's Gordon Hermansen in their 220-pound championship match at the 3A state wrestling championships Saturday.
"This one was definitely the most special one, it's my senior year, it's my last high school season match and the undefeated season on top of it," Trussell said.
Trussell, who was the ninth-ranked 220-pounder in the country coming into the tournament, according to FloWrestling, started the second period on the bottom, quickly escaped and got a pin on Hermansen just as quickly. It was over just as the action had started again.
Trussell says he plans to wrestle in college. He has an offer from Campbell University in North Carolina, but he said he's going on visits to Utah Valley and the University of Wyoming soon.
He was one of three Trojans to go home victorious Saturday. Jarrett Jorgensen defeated Juab's Kalob Nybo 16-14 in overtime to win the 120-pound weight class and Antonio Nava scored an 8-5 decision to win the 152-pound division.
That was good enough to put Morgan in third place in the 3A team standings with 171 points. Juab won the team title with 304 points.
MT. PLEASANT — Davis' 25-point fourth quarter surge wasn't enough to knock off Wasatch Academy on the road Saturday. The Darts trailed 50-36 against the Tigers, an independent team that plays a mostly regional and national schedule.
Dallin Anderson came off the bench to lead Davis in scoring, going 6 of 9 from 3-point range to score 18 points. Rich Stucki scored 17 points and Tyson Garff added 13.

Please kill me!
I'm about 1% tempted, 99% want to stay married
Quote from: Scott on April 29, 2005, 09:43 AMI'm about 1% tempted, 99% want to stay married This is the same boat I'm in... I'd love to have this Fett, but at the cost of 1/3 of the year's SW budget? I'm gonna have to pass. Maybe I'll pick it up in 2015 or so...Jeff
There are two at $268 and $269 right now...I don't collect any of these 400% and 1000%, what's the going rate?
The average price right now is $268 to $300 plus then add that shipping on which is going to be higher than the previous Kubricks from Japan. Hopefully this will come down in cost, $200. or less would be super.

Comic-Con: The Man of Steel Sequel Will Also Star Batman
Zack Snyder will direct again.
Just before the Warner Bros. panel started at Comic-Con today, word leaked online that WB was set to announce some major, major moves: a Superman-Batman movie! Something with The Flash! Justice League, finally! So we waited. And we waited. And almost two hours later, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder, finally, finally took the stage. "I know there's been a lot of speculation as to what we're doing," said Snyder. "It's official that we are gonna make another Superman movie." The audience cheered, and while Snyder wouldn't divulge the plot, he did tease, "I can say that maybe there's a single element that's in the film that I could help you out with. And so I was thinking about how to do that, and I sort of pored through the DC universe to look for a way to tell this thing."
With that, Snyder brought out his Man of Steel actor Harry Lennix — "His voice is way better than mine" — to read a passage from Frank Miller's 1986 comic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a line of dialogue said from Batman to Superman: "I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments … I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you." (Suffice it to say, then, that when Superman meets Batman in Snyder's next film, they're not exactly going to get along.) The Superman logo then flew onto the the screen, with the Batman logo appearing behind it.
"We're not adapting this [comic book]," cautioned Snyder, "but it is the thing that will help tell this story." No matter: Fanboys lost their shit anyway, even if we don't know who will be playing the Caped Crusader opposite Henry Cavill's Superman. Snyder then departed, failing to address today's report from THR that after the Batman-Superman team-up — which is going by the working title World's Finest — DC and WB are planing a Flash movie that will then lead into the studio's own riff on The Avengers, the long-awaited, superhero-stuffed Justice League. For now, you'll just have to content yourself with Cobie Smulders as Lego Wonder Woman.

The Watering Hole: Hello, Francisco. Meet regression
By Michael Waterloo
Of The Spirit
Spring training is here, and I can't explain the excitement that I have knowing that baseball is right around the corner.
The Pirates broke to Bradenton, Fla., last week, as they plan to embark on another long, 162-game journey.
Pirates' manager Clint Hurdle named Francisco Liriano the Pirates' opening day starter, and with A.J. Burnett out of the way and Gerrit Cole having only 19 career regular season starts, it really comes as no surprise.
What was a surprise, however, was Liriano's year last season for the Pirates: an effort that earned him N.L. Comeback Player of the Year.
Now, not to rain on anyone's parade or anything like that, but I don't quite think Liriano will come close to being the pitcher that he was last year.
I'm a big believer in sample size and track record.
To me, Liriano's track record over the course of his career shows that he is as inconsistent as they come, and betting on a season like he had last season is a bet you're sure to lose.
Let me introduce you to my friend regression, Francisco.
Some regression is to be expected, even by the biggest Pirates supporters out there.
In fact, many will argue that Liriano doesn't need to be the ace this year, with Cole entering his first full season with the Pirates and
prospect Jameson Taillon on his way in June or July.
I get the idea behind that, but June or July are a long way off.
I also get the argument that the Pirates rotation is much better to start the year this year than it was to begin last year, especially with Jonathan "Selfie" Sanchez taking up the No. 5 spot a year ago.
But we aren't comparing the two staffs — we're looking simply at Liriano.
Liriano finished last year with a career high in wins (16) and complete games (two), and he finished with his second-best numbers in ERA (3.02), innings pitched (161), WHIP (1.224) and hits per nine innings (7.5).
However, last year was Liriano's first year of his career pitching in the National League against a lot of hitters who have never faced him before.
Not only that, but Liriano is just two years removed now from a dreadful season in which he went 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA, a 1.468 WHIP and a -0.4 WAR.
Why the confidence in a man that is that far removed from being horrible?
And it wasn't just his 2012 that was bad, it was 2011 and 2009, as well.
Sandwiched in between his otherwise mediocre careers have been good performances — not quite as good as last year, but still good — in 2006 (12-3, 2.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) and 2010 (14-10, 3.62 ERA, 1.263 WHIP) which show his inconsistencies as a pitcher.
My friend, Jon, pointed out that Liriano had to play his games in the American League Central, in hitter-friendly environments of the Hubert.
H. Humphrey Metrodome and Comerica Park, which explains his inflated numbers.
But does it?
Why are the good seasons mixed in with the bad seasons then?
Even last season, where people threw his name around lightly for Cy Young consideration, Liriano had his inconsistencies.
First off, his home and away splits are the Jekyll and Hyde of baseball stats.
Liriano enjoyed an 8-1 record, with a 1.47 ERA and 0.964 WHIP in the confines of PNC Park last year, allowing just 12 earned runs in his 11 starts.
No matter how great the Pirates' defense is or how much of a pitcher's park PNC Park is, thinking Liriano will come close to duplicating those numbers isn't realistic.
Then, you have Liriano on the road.
He featured an 8-7 record, with a 4.33 ERA, 1.443 WHIP and 42 earned runs in 15 starts.
Granted, 17 of those runs came in two games against Colorado and Milwaukee, which skews the numbers slightly.
Even if you take those starts out of the equation, you have 25 earned runs given up over 13 starts, which is two times as many as his home
It's fair to say that if he regresses at home, that he can improve on the road.
But what about what happened in the second half of last season?
Liriano posted a 7-5 record, compared to a 9-3 record in the first half, while his 3.95 ERA is almost double what it was in the first half (2.00).
In two more starts in the second half, Liriano allowed eight more hits, 20 more earned runs, seven more walks and saw both his strikeouts per nine innings and strikeout-to-walk ratio decrease.
This isn't to say that Liriano is going to be as bad as he was in 2012, but if the really bad Liriano showed his face again, I wouldn't at all be shocked.
My projections have him at 11-10, with a 3.96 ERA, 1.346 WHIP and 157 strikeouts.
Still good, and still better than the opening day starters of year's past — Ron Villone, Kip Wells, Todd Ritchie, Zach Duke, Ian Snell, etc. — but if the Pirates are looking to improve on their 94-win season, it might not be good enough.
