- Grand Prix of America
New Jersey postponed until 2014
The organisers of the Grand Prix of America in New Jersey have confirmed that the inaugural race has been postponed until 2014.
Race promoter Leo Hindery Jr confirmed that more time is needed to prepare for the race, and as a result the 2013 race has been postponed. However, despite the delay, Hindery Jr was keen to stress that the race would still go ahead in the future and that the organisers retained the full support of Bernie Ecclestone.
"We are going to be racing at Port Imperial, unfortunately just not as soon as we hoped and expected," Hindery Jr said. "We promised Governor Christie, the Towns, the sport and its international fans the best possible experience, and unfortunately we need additional time to ensure that happens.
"We remain 100% committed to the Grand Prix of America at Port Imperial and the race could have no better partner and friend than the CEO of Formula One, Bernie Ecclestone. We benefit greatly from his experience and counsel and from his support."
Ecclestone himself said he was keen to ensure that the race still takes place a year later than originally planned.
"I remain totally committed to the Port Imperial race and its unique location and attributes, and we will continue to work closely together to realise our dream in 2014," Ecclestone said. "As Leo says, we are still going to be racing at Port Imperial, now however in 2014."
Earlier on Friday, Ecclestone had confirmed the news, saying it hadn't taken the organisers too long to realise what needed to be done in order to get the race on next season.
"They've run out of time," Ecclestone is quoted by Reuters. "There's all sorts of things...and they didn't quite think it all through. They've had a wake-up call but the wake-up call came too late.
"They couldn't get everything ready in time. That's the bottom line."
Ecclestone had previously voiced his doubts that the street circuit would be ready in time, with the race having been handed a provisional date of June 16 on the 2013 calendar issued by the World Motor Sport Council.

Wow!! Dollar Tree just posted on it's Facebook page that starting August 26th, they will begin accepting coupons! Since all items are $1, this might make for some really great (and possibly free) deals! We will have to keep our eyes open for ways to match up the coupons here with their prices!
As far as a coupon policy, I do not see one posted (yet). I imagine they will eventually have one as they have issues come about. It also means that you may need a little extra patience since this is new to the managers and cashiers and they will be learning as they go!

For award-winning Nassib, final honor may be the sweetest
For award-winning Nassib, final honor may be the sweetest
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — After traveling across the country receiving accolades for his time spent on the field, Penn State senior defensive end Carl Nassib has one more honor he's looking forward to: graduation, where he'll be recognized for his work in the classroom.
Nassib, from West Chester, Pennsylvania, will walk across the stage Saturday to accept his degree in biology after a lot of hard work, dedication and schedule adjustments.
"It's a huge accomplishment for me," he said. "I'm really proud to graduate from Penn State and to have my degree from here, knowing all the hard work I put into getting it. Biology is not an easy degree to earn, especially from Penn State."
"Being a student-athlete, especially one with a biology degree, I think I've prepared myself to tackle any sort of obstacle in my future. I hope I can be an example showing that you can really do anything you want if you work hard enough and long enough."
— Carl Nassib, Penn State senior biology student and defensive end football player
Last fall was his hardest semester. He took three 400-level biology courses, a Spanish class and an online class. This fall, Nassib had to leave football practice early each Wednesday to attend his organic chemistry lab.
"I would always rush in there, and I was always out of breath trying to get there right in time to take the quiz," he said. "But it was just something that I had to make work."
It's also something that he always did with a smile, according to chemistry lecturer Sheryl Dykstra.
"Carl created a very positive lab environment, which as an instructor I really appreciate because organic lab is tough," she said. "Students are in there two days a week, three hours each day doing a lot of writing assignments, so it can get very arduous and overwhelming. He always had an upbeat attitude and brought everyone around him up in attitude, too. That's impressive, especially from someone like him who has a lot of other things going on in his life."
Dykstra added that an ongoing class joke was that Nassib would get his second workout for the day in organic chemistry. Since he's so tall (6 feet, 7 inches), he had to do squats or lunges in front of the hood vent. His head was above the glass window, so he couldn't see without crouching down.
Along with his attitude, Dykstra said Nassib was a committed student. "As the semester progressed, I thought, 'this is crazy,' " she said. "He was doing so well on the athletics side and he was also tackling this course at the same time. I was impressed that he was so committed to finishing CHEM 213 and doing it well. It was very refreshing."
For Nassib, though, it's just part of getting him to where he wants to be. During football season, the team lifts twice a week, but Nassib lifts four times a week, tacking on two extra workout sessions. He's been taking classes year-round and has held various part-time jobs, including a stint at the Penn State Berkey Creamery. All of this, he hopes, will help him achieve his two dreams: playing football professionally and eventually attending medical school to be a pediatrician.
"When I was 18, I went to Latin America — Honduras and Guatemala — and I volunteered at a medical clinic there," he said. "That really inspired me. The conditions there are pretty tough to say the least, and I would love to go back there and do some volunteer work or be a traveling doctor. Once you go there, you have to go back."
Saturday's commencement tops off two weeks of awards for a student who only made a name for himself on the national football scene in the past few months. Nassib came to Penn State as a walk-on and went on to earn a scholarship. However, he had never held a starting position — in high school or at Penn State — until this season.
"For a long time, no one really knew I was a student-athlete. It took me until about my senior year for people to recognize me as someone on the football team," he said. "I've just been trying to keep my head above the water for so long. I've always thought I was good, and now people have caught up. I have a lot of confidence in myself, and you need to in order to get where you want to go.
"I'm so lucky and so blessed to receive these awards and to represent Penn State and my family. I'm really proud of these past few weeks."
Nassib is the first Nittany Lion to win the Hendricks Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy and the second Penn Stater to be honored with the Lombardi Award. He joins an elite group of good company. Nassib is the first Penn State player since Larry Johnson in 2002 to earn three national awards. He also has 11 first-team All-America honors, the most for a Penn State player since Devon Still in 2011. He is just the 13th player in Penn State history to be a unanimous Consensus All-American. Additionally, Nassib was picked as the Big Ten's Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, earned first team All-Big Ten honors from both the coaches and media and has been selected Academic All-Big Ten twice (3.0 GPA and a letterwinner).
"Carl and his Penn State story are why you get into coaching — to give young people a chance to chase their dreams and do something special in the classroom and on the football field."
— Penn State head football coach James Franklin
"Carl has one of the best stories in college football," Penn State head football coach James Franklin said. "He's a biology major who walked on to the team. He never started a game in his career until this year. He came to Penn State weighing 217 pounds and through all of his efforts in our strength and conditioning program he's at 272 pounds. Carl and his Penn State story are why you get into coaching — to give young people a chance to chase their dreams and do something special in the classroom and on the football field."
After graduation and a trip to Jacksonville, Florida, for Penn State's TaxSlayer Bowl appearance, Nassib will start working toward his next goals. He says his experience at Penn State has prepared him well.
"Being a student-athlete, especially one with a biology degree, I think I've prepared myself to tackle any sort of obstacle in my future," Nassib said. "I hope I can be an example showing that you can really do anything you want if you work hard enough and long enough. Results aren't going to come quick and people aren't going to make it easy on you, so expect some hardships, but if you want something, it's up to you to go get it."

Graduation party
Would you like a non-traditional cake? You can have it made by our confectioners in the form of a stethoscope, eye tooth or a classical cake.
Non-binding reservation "Graduation"

Like many of you, I consider the muskie opener as the 'real' fishing opener. No longer do we have to fish for something else to pass the time. This past Saturday was the official kick-off to the madness of 2010, and I'm proud to say that we started it off on the right foot.
Fellow guide partner, Young Ben, and I hit the water very early in the season. 3:00 AM to be exact. A busy schedule for the two of us meant that if we wanted to get any significant amount of time on the water that we'd have to get out there early. Shortly into our season we had the first nibble. An explosion in the darkness that caused Ben to prematurely set the hook. I followed that up with a few good chuckles and that is when we were reminded what specie we were pursuing. It seemed fitting to have it start that way, and it certainly got the juices flowing.
As if we didn't have the perfect sign to start our season, God blessed us with a muskie sunrise that we'll never forget. The canvas was covered with every color in the rainbow and I'm sure if you were on the water then you know what I'm talking about too. For a while we seemingly forgot what we were on the water to do. We stopped fishing completely.. With every second we were in even more awe and couldn't get over the brightness of the sky. The water was calm and if there weren't trees in the distance, you wouldn't have been able to tell where the water ended and sky began. Sheer beauty. To make it even sweeter, once we finally started casting again, we got to watch our first muskie bulge the surface and create a wake behind Ben's lure from the start of his cast to the finish. I could have ended my day right there and I'd have been happy. The muskie didn't strike, but the day didn't end there either.
A little while later I was given the opportunity to join the crew on KFAN Outdoors for a live report on the water. I have been lucky enough to be a regular guest on their program and we chatted about what we were experiencing on the water. During this time, Ben had two more giant muskies come boatside and nearly gave me a heart attack while conducting my interview. You can check out the full interview here. Thank you Billy Hildebrandt and Bob St. Pierre for another opportunity!
Shortly after the interview Ben had to go to work and my partners changed. I dropped Ben off and Bails and Hennen jumped aboard. I was bound and determined to get the slime in the boat. As it turned out, Hennen was just the man to do it. About 30 minutes into his muskie season he landed the first toothy critter of the year. A dandy 44 incher that put the icing on my muskie opener cake. While I would have been satisfied to just be on the water for that perfect morning, I will admit that the muskie in da boat made me smile a quite a bit. A great start to the 'real' opener.. If this is any indication, I'm very excited for what is to come. Stay tuned - It's going to be a great season! Until next time, keep on livin' the dream!

Just to let you know that this isn't food I made during my stay in my parents' place. I made this before the holiday. I still need to wait for my poor food photos to be fixed by husband. In the meantime, I have some some recipes that I prepared before the holiday.
This salmon inspired by Master Chef Korea that I watched a while ago. When I see it, I feel like I have to give it a try. Having not much experience in cooking with rice paper, this is a good idea. And if you don't like eating crispy fish skin (just like my husband), this is a nice and good substitute. It gives you that crispy and slightly chewy texture, just like fish skin.
Salmon in Crispy Rice Paper
- 200g salmon fillet
- rice paper
- lemon juice
- warm water
- salt & pepper
How to:
- Wash salmon and dry it well with kitchen paper.
- Rub some lemon juice all over the salmon. And then sprinkle salt and paper. Set aside.
- In a warm water, soak the rice paper for about 3 seconds.
- Put the salmon in the middle and wrap it tightly.
- To cook: Preheat a non stick pan with 3 tbsp olive oil. Put the salmon in the pan and let it cook until the rice paper turns slightly brown.
I served mine with roasted potatoes, carrots, courgette (zucchini) tomato and dill sauce. But you can serve it with anything you like.

I thought I would take a minute and let you know how impressed I am with your service department and Tom. A year ago or so, I had a wonderful conversation with Tom on union Dry Cleaners and the Union Dry Cleaner we currently own, he was pleasant, not pushy, and very generous with his time and information. He followed up with me here recently after I was having some issues with my dry cleaner. I am completely impressed with your service department as well. I have only had to use them twice in the last two years, both times they have been outstanding! Especially Zach, who I believe even called me on a weekend to try and help me. But he was great about helping me figure out my problem, which is exactly what I needed. I can tell you that the service means more to me than anything else! and it will be the reason when the time comes for me to buy union.
Thank you

Conclusion to the DIY SOS Veteran Special. Airing 8th November on BBC One 8pm
DIY SOS: Veteran Street, BBC1 - Wed 8/11,8pm
Click here to see the promo clip
Two years ago, with the help of Prince William and Prince Harry, DIY SOS launched their most ambitious project yet with partners Haig Housing, Walking With The Wounded, Manchester City Council, national contractors and hundreds of trades people and small businesses – transforming a derelict street into a community for veterans and local people. It created new homes for ex-service persons Haig Housing let out at a charitable rent and a veterans support centre run by WWTW.
With the project almost complete, Nick Knowles and the team returned to finish the last remaining home for amputee and single dad Simon Flores whose foot was blown off by a roadside bomb during a patrol in Iraq.

One type of seafood fraud involves substituting one species for another without changing the label. Other types include:
- less seafood in the package than indicated on the label;
- adding too much ice to seafood to increase the weight; and
- shipping seafood products through different countries to avoid duties and tariffs.
Among other findings, the report reveals that, while 84 percent of the seafood eaten in the United States is imported, only 2% is currently inspected--and less than 0.001% is specifically inspected for fraud. In fact, recent studies have found that seafood may be mislabeled as often as 25-70% of the time for fish like red snapper, wild salmon and Atlantic cod, disguising species that are less desirable, cheaper or more readily available.
"We can track organic bananas back to packing stations on farms in Central and Latin America, yet consumers are given little to no information about one of the most popular foods in the United States – seafood," said Dr. Michael Hirshfield, the organization's chief scientist. "With imports representing the vast majority of the seafood eaten in the United States, it's more important than ever to know what we are eating and where, when and how it was caught."
The report, entitled "Bait and Switch: How Seafood Fraud Hurts Our Oceans, Our Wallets and Our Health," can be downloaded as a free PDF. It explains the problems associated with seafood fraud and outlines steps you can take to know where your seafood comes from. Download "Bait and Switch."

* Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death, was raised from the dead and will one day come again to reign and judge the world.
* Salvation is by grace through an individual's personal faith in Jesus Christ and His atoning work for our sin. Good works are a result of true salvation, but salvation is not a result of good works. Baptism is an act of obedience but is not essential for salvation. Salvation comes by faith alone.

Grischa Metlay, Ph.D.
Dr. Grischa Metlay studies how multidisciplinary fields of expertise are brought to bear on complex problems, and the way that organizations participate in the framing of such problems. His dissertation and current book project examines how experts understood and addressed alcohol and drug problems in the United States between 1870 and 2000, the organizations that supported their efforts, and the cultural, political and scientific imperatives that favored certain problem frames over others.
As a Stetten Fellow affiliated with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), Grischa will continue to study how NIAAA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse approached alcohol and drug problems at the end of the twentieth century. Additionally, he is beginning a new project on translational science and comparative effectiveness research – two "sciences of application" that, respectively, seek to expedite the application of basic biomedical knowledge and to ensure that health care resources are used efficiently and effectively. This project will investigate the development and institutionalization of these multidisciplinary fields, and their connection to national health care and biomedical research policies.
Grischa received his Ph.D. from Harvard's History of Science Program in 2010.

Educators' Thoughts on Distance Education
by various educators
Green Mountain College's Experience with Online Education
When Green Mountain College established its first graduate programs (in Environmental Education and Sustainable Business Practices) the choice of using an online educational platform offered several advantages. The college wished to appeal to mid-career people who wanted to pursue a graduate degree while still holding full time employment, and sometimes while raising a family, as well. Green Mountain College is located at a distance from any large population center, and it had yet to establish any sort of reputation in postgraduate education. Online education offers students the opportunity to log on to complete their assignments at any time, day or night, from any location. The program lends itself to internet marketing, which is how most students have come to discover it. Best of all, the college was able to establish the program without any additional brick and mortar capital needs.
In practice the electronic communication has proved to be surprisingly immediate and personal in nature. The Green Mountain College programs include one long-weekend residency on the college campus at the beginning of each of the two years. This provides students and faculty an opportunity to meet and get to know each other and helps to facilitate effective communication. Regular commuting to the campus is not required, however. Capstone projects are usually presented on campus at the time of graduation, but students unable to attend in person are able to present their projects electronically. Although not a part of the formal program, face-to-face meetings or telephone conferences are sometimes arranged by students engaged in joint projects or just wishing to confer on class-related matters.
The electronic, online educational platform has allowed Green Mountain College to establish successful graduate programs that it otherwise most likely would not have been able to.

At Oak Meadow School, we continually assess the benefits and the drawbacks of online education. Our aim is to provide an education, not just a diploma, to students who choose to learn outside of the traditional classroom. Technology enhances distance learning by connecting students with teachers and creating a supportive learning community from afar. Having access to online curriculum makes learning possible for familes who are traveling extensively or living in remote areas where mail service is unpredictable. However, we have found that most students prefer to use printed materials so studying can be done anywhere, anytime, without needing a computer or internet connection. Our assignments encourage students to engage with books, the natural world, and their communities in order to expand the scope of their learning. At Oak Meadow, we use technology as a tool for communicating while recognizing that the true heart of learning lies in a supportive mentoring relationship with a teacher and the student's active (as opposed to virtual) engagement with relevant, meaningful material.

In several of its programs, the SIT Graduate Institute uses a hybrid learning model that combines face-to-face courses with distance learning components. Each of these programs begins with a short-term residential session that minimizes time away from jobs and families and continues with online learning that maximizes increased skill development, interaction with faculty and classmates, and personalized advising. Because each of the programs builds on the assumption that interpersonal connections add value to one's learning, this format builds a strong interpersonal learning community at the start of each program, which is then further developed via on-line studies. It also allows students to gain valuable, practical work experience in the field through their jobs or related internships.
In terms of learning, students thrive in an environment where they can read, reflect, and interact with others who are experiencing similar situations but in varied socio-cultural, political or geographic contexts. After establishing personal connections with each other, the subsequent online environment gives them access to learning from and with each other while located around the world and allows for shorter time laps between gaining and applying the new knowledge. In addition, the on-line component provides for greener, more sustainable ways of learning since the increased use of electronic resources translates into the decreased use of physical resources such as paper, electricity, gas, etc.
It is important to note that on-line education presents challenges as well. Distractions from family, work, and distance from school can also hinder learning, especially for those students with intermittent internet access. A learning community is only as strong as everyone's contribution, especially when taking place on line. For some accessing the internet is as easy as breathing, but for others it is expensive and at times even risky (in locations with political tensions). Effective instructors must be aware and flexible at all times if their students are going to be successful.
SIT offers three hybrid programs: a Master of Arts in Teaching (English as a Foreign Language), a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Transformation Across Cultures, and a Master of Arts or Graduate Certificate in International Education. Each program builds on the values of sustainability and social justice, and is geared for professionals who are engaged in their communities around the world in their respective field. Additional information can be found at www.sit.edu.

The great benefit of online education is that it removes barriers to education posed by geography and schedules. People without easy access to a campus can learn from the remotest hilltop, day or night. In addition, it provides access to resources worldwide that can greatly enhance learning. Exploring the Louvre is just a click away.
The "con" side (if you can call it that) is that successful online learning requires motivation, self-direction, and independent learning and study skills. As well, some people greatly prefer the face-to-face interaction of a classroom – though many first-time "onliners" are surprised to discover how interactive online classes are, how rich the personal relationships become, and how deep the online discussions can get. People tend to think carefully about what they express in an online course, and there is no such thing as sitting silently in the back of the classroom.

Communication and information tecchnologies have powerful potentials for recognizing, respecting, and responding to individual differences in educational purposes, learning styles and cognitive development. When they do so, personal transformation and learning that lasts results. When they are used for batch processing such results seldom occur.
Art Chickering

Most obviously, the online platform has the advantage of making education more accessible by eliminating the restrictions of time and place. Students can pursue degrees while still fully engaged in careers, family responsibilities, and other pursuits. But the less obvious benefit of online education is the way in which it has altered the traditional teaching and learning process in a positive way. Online education, by virtue of its asynchronous delivery and greater student to student interaction, does not follow the traditional "sage on the stage" teaching method typically found in lecture style classrooms. Instead, the process involves constructivist principles, through which students have the opportunity to independently experience, discover, and internalize the subject matter. In this model students learn more than facts; essentially they learn how to learn through personal exploration and through interaction with peers. In my opinion, the real value of online education lies in its potential to bring such elements of constructivism into mainstream education.

Community College of Vermont conceived of online learning fifteen years ago as a means of furthering our core mission of providing access to higher education for Vermont students from Barton to Bennington. That continues to be our motivation. Our priority in developing online courses has been to use distance learning technology to provide the same high-quality, interactive learning that we offer in our classroom courses. And like our classroom courses, our online courses are small—averaging fourteen students—and we provide the same student support services online as we do on-ground.
The well-documented conclusion that there is "no significant difference" between classroom and online learning has become somewhat outdated, since emerging technologies and increased access have blurred the distinction between the two. Of the 423 students who received a CCV associate degree in 2006, nearly two-thirds took at least one online course, and one-third took at least a quarter of their courses online. For these students, the difference between classroom and online learning had more to do with what worked for their particular life circumstances than which was better, because they knew that they would get the learning they needed either way.

Adults are best supported in dynamic, interactive and accessible learning environments that encourage self-direction and invite them to capitalize on life experiences. By their nature, online learning environments have tremendous potential to support adults' needs to be self-determining and reflective in their learning. That potential, however, is realized only when there is conscious and deliberate attention to a creative collaboration that engages students and facilitators in purposeful and meaningful dialogue.
Low-residency programs, pioneered at Goddard, offer the best of both worlds: connection within a dynamic learning community of faculty advisors and fellow students, and the flexibility to complete a degree from anywhere in the world.
Dr. Barbara Vacarr
President of Goddard College
As of today, my belief is that 100% online asynchronous learning is good for those who are comfortable with lots of screentime, like to work on their one schedule, and can't travel to the teacher or make time to meet at specific times. It's not as good for forming personal connections, or for teaching one how to present and function socially in close proximity to people. Also, 3D online worlds allow for some very effective simulations that are not possible in reality, such as learning about plant roots by being in a simulation of what they look like from underground.
100% online, but with asynchronous and synchronous work seems to add the ability to teach people to present and interact with others in real time and afford distant speakers and lively discussions. And it adds a dimension of getting to know people better, especially with video and audio. But it still lacks the vitality, socialization, and high level of information that comes from being in person.
Blended learning is my favorite. I believe that if a teacher integrates activities well, the best of online asynchronous, online synchronous, and in person, can be used to make a rich class. For example: Reading, writing and commenting can happen at the student's own pace during the week and small groups can meet online to help each other. Synchronous online meetings afford speakers from around the world who can answer questions live, and in person meetings provide rich workshopping, lectures and small group work, and lab time. Also, break time provides social time that helps a cohort form for after school networking.
We are still in a discovery phase with online teaching and learning. This technology is a tool, and so far, when used properly with passion and skill, it seems to be a good tool. Right now we are still figuring out what "properly" means. When the dust mostly settles in a decade or so, we'll know more where this tool fits in teachers and learners toolbox.

Hello Stephen,
I'm responding to the message you sent to Tom White inviting him to contribute a few sentences about the pros and cons of online education. I'm not sure I have a quote for you per se, but there is an abundance of material...articles...on the web these days if you are interested in searching out some of the research on online education. Although it's been around for a while now, it's still new enough that I'd have to say all the evidence on either side is surely not in yet! And I believe there is a lot of misconception and misperception as well. As an example, the statement I hear sometimes is "I took it online because it is (or I thought it would be) easier." And that often is not the case in the end.
I've been working in online education for about 15 years now...first as an advisor to students in online programs, and now as the director of online programs at OIT. Some students really struggle with the format and environment...and long for the 'good old days' when they could sit in a classroom. One of the things I've heard many times from students in these programs is that they miss the in class discussion and interaction and the immediacy of getting questions answered.
That said, I've also had the majority of students I've worked with in online programs praise the education from a variety of perspectives. One was how much more difficult in many ways it was to become educated in this manner. But along with that was more often than not an acknowledgement that they felt they really 'owned' the information and understanding of the subject. This in part was due to the necessity of doing a lot of the searching, reading, studying and understanding of the material and having to depend upon one's self and not just having as one student put it to me, 'downloaded' by lecture. Another comment I heard from students frequently was, you need to be highly organized, self-motivated, committed to the program, determined, and willing to put yourself out there a bit more than you might in a classroom setting. The comments go on and on, but often center on these qualities that you must have to be successful. (Another one is that students often feel safer and more encouraged to speak up in online classes since it feels less threatening to them.) The great thing about that is when you ask students about their experience, many times they'll say, about those characteristics, "gosh, these are characteristics that are also extremely valuable in the workplace, and I can tell prospective employers that."
The technology is evolving rapidly as well, and addressing some of the 'deficiencies' if you will, of online education. For instance, there are many web conferencing opportunities now which provide more direct contact between students, and between the faculty and students. Faculty are becoming creative in ways they never could before, as well. The old 'correspondence' course is not totally an artifact of earlier 'distance education' programs, but it's far less available these days.
I would say that online education is not for everyone, nor is it applicable to every subject and situation. But, I would also say it's a fabulous opportunity for many students who have few other ways to access formal higher education, or for that matter, a way to expand the offerings in the high school realm. The other thing I would say about it, in a general sense, is, that the education students receive through online programs, depends heavily on the quality of the teaching in that program. This demands that the institution set and expect adherence, to standards in the courses and programs they deliver. Not every faculty member is suited to teaching online, any more than every student is to learning online. Also, keep in mind that there is not an industry standard per se yet developed. There is a lot of helpful information and suggestions about what works and is good, but there is not one mind about what it all should look like. There are some good practices stated 'out there' but not necessarily bought into by everyone in this business. There is a lot of the "Do what works for you" attitude out there.
Whew... guess I was ready to talk about this! Are you sorry you asked?!
If you have questions about what I said or something doesn't make sense or ring true to you, please give me a call and we can chat about it. Also, Tom's suggestion about talking to Cody Jones is a good one...she's a very good online instructor.

There are many benefits of online education. First and most important because the class is spread out over an entire week, it allows for more in-depth discussions by increasing the opportunities to "apply" the content to the real world. Students have time to reflect and process information before having to discuss with the class. It allows for a more diverse student population because online students are located all over the country and the world. This online interaction helps improve one's communication skills through the online discussions and virtual collaboration.
Last the obvious benefit is convenience. The online student can attend class when it is convenient for him or her whether it be in the morning before work or in the evening after dinner is over and the children are in bed.
Mary Bradbury Jones
Director of Accelerated Online Programs

"My verdict: offer both classroom and online courses. Online courses provide great flexibility for students who must manage coursework around career, family, and other commitments, and they accommodate diverse learning styles, if course materials are presented in a variety of media. In the seven-university Oregon University System, online courses allow us to reach students across campuses and institutions, working professionals, and the larger community. However, in my experience, not all topics are well-suited to online instruction. I have found that online interactive discussion of current issues, evolving policy, and changing political, environmental, and economic conditions--all inherent to my courses--is cumbersome. A common comment is that students prefer classroom discussions to responding to each other over discussion boards or in a chat room. They find "live" discussions inspiring and thought-provoking, while online dialog is a chore to them. I also have yet to find an ideal way for students to present projects to each other online, although I expect this to change as both available tools, and my skills with them, evolve. Finally, it can be time-consuming to effectively communicate highly complex material, particularly mathematic and statistical computations, through email and chat. So in my view, courses covering basic topics involving independent learning that can be assessed with simple tests are ideal candidates for online instruction. Courses that involve field work, group projects or extensive interactive discussion, topics affected by evolving policy and conditions, and complex computational material all are well-suited to "live" delivery. At least, so my students tell me."

It should be noted that a modern day, traditional education incorporates quite a few online learning tools. Each of my classes were videotaped and posted online within 24 hours. In addition, most courses were supplemented with an online learning system called Blackboard, where professors posted course materials, assignments and external links. In classes where attendance was not required, students could simply show up for tests and pass the course. However, this was the road less traveled. The majority of my peers, including myself, wanted to personally engage the faculty & student body and take advantage of those extra opportunities afforded to us in a traditional education. In class, I had the ability to contribute to discussions and speak with the professor after class when I had a lingering question. This personal interaction with the professor motivated me to pay close attention in class and keep up with readings. I did not have this same enthusiam when I watched classes I missed online. With regard to group assignments, I valued the face-to-face meetings that occurred throughout the duration of a project. Stuck in a meeting room for hours on end, I watched with a close eye how natural leaders would rise up and successfully motivate group members of diverse cultures and personalities. Again, this high level of personal interaction motivated me to take great pride in my portion of the assignments. I did not want to let my team down, especially since I'd be seeing them on campus throughout the year. I quickly learned that those who performed well in group projects gained strong reputations inside and outside the classroom, strengthening their overall network.
This leads us to the most fundamental aspect of any business school education, networking. There is widespread belief on campus that our classmates are all potential lifelong friends and business partners. A traditional educational setting allowed me to truly cultivate these relationships right from the start. Team building exercises and social events filled our schedule for two weeks before the semester began. Then, as classes kicked into gear, we continued our interaction by having group project sessions in the mornings, followed by club meetings in the afternoon, and then we'd grab a beer in the evening when we weren't inundated with assignments. Throughout the day we'd start by discussing homework, but in no time we'd be sharing stories of our travels, hometowns, family, and career aspirations. I could sense solid friendships and networks being created. In no time at all, we were traveling the world together during winter and spring breaks. I credit the traditional educational setting for providing the atmosphere to spur such deep camaraderie. Networking was a vital tool in job recruiting as well. I did access the online alumni network and connect with some great people, but there was no substitute to alumni who came to campus on the hunt to hire students from their alma mater. These alumni would tell me that they have a strong allegiance to Stern because of the companionship and knowledge they gained while in school. They believe in the school's culture and the students who matriculate at Stern. Even during the financial crisis, this strong alumni-student bond made way for hirings of interns and full-time employees from our program. In the midst of the recruting process, it also helped having classmates around campus as a support system. Together, we would mock interview and share notes on companies, frantically preparing for the 30-minute interview that could decide our fate.
Furthermore, an extraordinary part of my traditional education was attending speeches, discussions, and Q&A sessions led by prominent business leaders and politicians. These speakers look forward to visiting our campus and presenting to an captive student audience. I felt privileged each time I sat for such an event.
People say that the best way to learn a foreign language is to totally immerse yourself in that country. I feel that Stern provided a great platform for total immersion into the business world, both online and off.

My contribution:
The online classes offered by the Sustainable Design Institute at the Boston Architectural College are instructor-led, interactive, small and asynchronous. Each of these characteristics is vital to their success as an educational experience. By being instructor-led, our students are able to engage in give and take with the building industry experts who develop and teach the courses. The interactive nature of the courses –topically-based discussion forums are obligatory and graded- exposes students to each other's ideas and experience as well as those of the instructor. Class sizes are limited to 15 persons plus the instructor, making manageable and meaningful discussions possible. Because our students –and instructors- are based in all time zones, the courses need to be asynchronous. This feature also allows students with busy lives –and jobs- to "enter" the classrooms according to their own daily schedules. Because they can be based in all time zones, students bring their own cultures and environmental conditions to the classroom, which, along with their different professional backgrounds, makes for a richly varied learning experience.
Please let me know if you have questions or need more.

If by online education you mean an electronic education factory where students are over-charged, faculty under paid, subjects dumb-downed, and academic advising conducted through a comptroller's office...then it's all a sloppy sham. But if you mean a new way to reach out and adjust education to the time and cost constraints of students, where faculty communicate one-on-one with their distant charges, where learning is learner-based, and where profit is a reluctant necessity absent from the mission...then it's another great American innovation is teaching and learning.

Sterling College provides a learning community in which students and faculty engage in meaningful experiences each day as part of an integrative environmental liberal arts curriculum. By using a wide range of online tools, students could have the potential to shape their engagement of physical learning environments by scaffolding their experience with online collaborative environments wherein they can help to define their place and expectations of experience. Furthermore, globally shared forums create incentives for diverse participation, and networked blogs and other online venues can effect real social and political change.

Silverlight installation requires the SSE CPU instruction set
One of the guys on my team recently tried installing Silverlight 2.0 on one of his older systems. He got the error, "Unable to install Silverlight" and, "Your processor is not supported." When you click on More information you see the error:
Message ID: 1503
Microsoft Silverlight is not supported on your computer. Your CPU does not support the SSE instruction set which is required by Silverlight.
Intel introduced the SSE extension in 1999. AMD added SSE support in 2001. Machines with processors that were manufactured prior to those dates did not have the SSE extension.
Silverlight primarily uses the SSE extension for its floating point support.

Enters a Place by the Lake
The young man entered a place by the lake. The young man entered the place and said hello. The place was empty. No one replied to his greeting. The young man entered the empty place and he looked around.
The young man entered the empty place and looked around and saw nothing. He saw nothing because the place was empty. He saw walls and a floor and a ceiling but nothing else because the place was empty.
The young man looked for another door. Perhaps a door to another room. But the place was a one-room place, and it had no other door. No other entrances and no other exits except the door that (more…)

The Internet has changed everything about the global world where we live. Also, we use the internet to check through to our favorite sports activities team, to buy a plane or train ticket, to buy a bike, and more.

You are able to translate this knowledge very easily to the net and save time in the doing.
Not all shopping is created equal, however. It looks like I'm always scrambling for this. The truly great information though is that money isn't the thing you save shopping on the internet and it might not even be the best part of your shopping expedition. And if you have absolutely nothing else to do, you can still think of several things you would rather do. This is true around the world and I'll bet some men gather and shop for fun also.

There's this little thing called time. Time for you to work. So when I have the chance to buy something I need actually, and I don't need it right now, shopping on the internet is a very important thing ever. And I do not waste materials my day standing in line.

It's no secret that a lot of women like to shop, with several buddies especially. Spending time together finding the perfect item or gift on our shopping lists is often a good bonding experience.
Twiddling Your Thumbs in the Checkout Range is No Fun
It seems as though irrespective of where you decide to go, whether it is the supermarket or the section store, there are not enough checkers just.
We love taking our time taking a look at all the different products, picking things up and putting them down and moving them around. Waiting in-line is frustrating and boring. Regardless of which camp you happen to get into, however, there are a good chance you'll trust me on one very, very important things. Time to go to a fitness center. It looks like it takes forever to get through the checkout lines and sometimes can put a damper on your day out shopping.
What's your favorite thing about shopping on the web? Such as watching grass develop or paint dry. Department supermarkets and stores rarely have enough checkers to satisfy the needs of all their customers. I need not load up the youngsters. Standing in series for several minutes is irritating, and it is a waste materials of time frankly. What do we do Now? Standing in series all night is not your chosen avocation. And there are, in truth, a lot of women who hate to shop, that are looking at the first paragraph of this article and considering, you have got to be kidding.
In today's world, there is no reason never to shop online. Why drive all night or buy a plane ticket to go to a store when you can bring the merchandise right into your home office on your desktop or laptop. In case you live in a rural area where's they're few shopping options, the web brings the entire world for you. You can purchase a laptop or pc, a gambling console, Christmas toys, Halloween costumes, and diamond jewelry online even. Internet Shopping Today - Online Shopping is A far greater Use of Your Time.

My nephews had circled from afar; I saw them come to earth upon my driveway this Sunday morning. It was snowing, so they came in to be "de-iced", as they put it. It was a bald-faced maneuver to read my paper, eat my food, and drink my tea, along with whatever other mischief they could hatch.
I sensed this called for strong measures on my part, so I scurried like a vole into the kitchen, chivvied some Earl Grey (courtesy Grace Tea Company, NY, NY) from its canister, and made a mighty pot of tea...so mighty, in fact, that I began to sing in German and hum "Ein fester Berg ist unser Gott".
"Have you..."
"...something a bit..."
"...stronger than tea?"
"...something noch fester, bitte?"
"...something noch fester, bitte?"
I heard a mighty chorus mutter.
"You don't want tea?" I asked, incredulously.
I looked at them, snow covered little ragamuffins. My heart melted.
"I picked up some Cointreau at the Duty Free coming back from T.O. (Toronto to all you unfortunate enough to live far, far away from the fairest border in the world!) in January." I pointed to the cabinet where I kept the real stuff. The cabinet was filled with a series of bottles of booze in various stages of deconstruction.
"And there 's some beer..."
As an aside:
I have finally found the proper usage for the word "deconstruction". I came across this usage in Foucault's seminal work "The Real As LCBO", where the LCBO is the Liquour Control Board of Ontario. Bryan, my wife's cousin, gave me a cherished copy of the work from the vaults of the LCBO in Kingston.

Now continuing in this vein, let me observe that maintaining a wine cellar and a liquor cabinet - I use the expression Licker Locker...actually Licka Locka!- is a iffy proposition when one does not drink.
She-who-must-be-obeyed has a friend in Cleveland who thinks I am quite a pestilence. She - the pestilence thinking female - drinks beer. Her tastes seem to be various and untutored.
Every time she comes to town, I have to check and see whether we have a stock of her brew of choice. Since she only drinks 1 or two cans of the six pack- without benefit of glass or tumbler, I might add-this leaves a balance of 4 to 5 cans with nowhere to go.
Recently when she blew in like the Swine Flu, I was sent to the cheap fermented products cellar to see what was up. I distinctly remember some major-domo-ish character telling me that we had better started laying in the '07 malt liquors soon, and that things were not at all like back in the old days when His Lordship was still alive.
In the fridge, there were 4 cans of beer, all the same brand, all of the same provenance, buried way in the back, hiding under an overturned wicker tumbrel of mottled lettuce leaves and various salad greens that had gone through Falluja - both battles.
There was no light beer...and I hadn't laid in the '08 "lites"! And this was indeed a problem, and I should be taken to ask for not being on top of it. I had been quite recently informed - as recent as at least 20 minutes ago - that her nibs drank light beer nowadays, it being the style. Not only did she do so now, but it seems that she always had done so, at least in the recollection of the intelligentsia standing around in the kitchen. Of course, since I buy the suds, and do so once a year, I knew better.
"If she always drank "lite" beer, where did these four cans of regular beer come from, then?" I asked when I returned to the upstairs, bringing beer to be drunk and beer to be forensic evidence with me. "She drank regular beer last time." I said. "Q.E.D." I added, with Euclidean finality.
I have often found that imbibers of the grain and the grape do not really have any notion of what they are drinking. I suggested that we serve the regular stuff, and she would never know the difference, only to be rewarded for what I considered my brainy little economy with an icy glare of the Wisconsin Glaciation type.
Back to the story:
"And there's some beer...in the ice box."
My three nephews glanced at each other and guffawed. Ice box! I had a sudden lonely feeling, as if I were to be the object of cartoon justice: utter an archaic word, and then get an anvil dropped on one's head! Ice box, victrola, Polaroid; the list goes on.
They bypassed the Kelvinator ( ??!! an ice box named after Lord Kelvin- rather cold indeed!) passing by the Food-A-Rama, et allaient directement a la bouteille de Cointreau.
A small crystalline Steuben holding the Cointreau, a dish of shavings of Trapper Joe's dark chocolate, a Villeroy and Bosch Botanica tea cup filled with the delightful odor of black tea and bergamot, and in the cup a stick of cinnamon from my Pakistani epicerie.
Outside, the snow was blowing and settled upon their three SUVs.
"Eco-observation number 20." I said.
They looked up from my copy of The Times and smiled vaguely. Number 20 on the list of "Eco-Observations" is something like why drive 3 separate cars when 1 will suffice?
"Number 3." I added, this being a slur without benefit of the Reverend Bowdler. It was like saying they were Nero, and they had a certain relationship with Agrippina. I really can't be more specific than that. Have a go at Google, if you actually care.
They looked up, smiled, and hoisted their tea cups in unison as if to drink to my health, pinkie fingers up, and, although unsaid, indicated that I should be hoist upon a triple pinkie petard.
I had to admit that they had a nice touch to their riposture.
"You know,..."
"...sometimes...not often, but sometimes..."
"...you do come up with something rather good."
I smiled. "Glad you like the tea."
They shook their heads.
"...the chocolate?" I wondered.
"No, no."
"This is all great, of course."
"We meant the Blog."
I gave me comfort that someone other than the Gestapo, KGB, and Thought Police read the bloody thing. However, these three in front of me were not known for various and sundy kindnesses.
I hedged. "Anything...in par-tic-u-lar?" I gave the room a quick once around, looking for the quickest exit. It appeared that a quick leap to the left, over the side table, then a down and roll to the pantry door just might be in the cards.
"That old posting 'In The Nightlands' ."
"We liked it."
I waited.
"We were shocked."
O.K. An insult in a velvet glove, or a compliment in a furze-laden glove. I'll take whatever is remotely related to a compliment. My mother is an expert in this field of the ontology of compliments: the velvet glove, the velveteen glove, the crack in the wise of the universe, the give with the left and take with the right...it runs in the family.
Austin said, "The power of God is shattered like a mirror. God is broken up into shards, sharp pieces that reflect His power, but no longer unified. That's what was interesting.
We see it in the world. People always moan why the news always dwells on the negative..."
Aiden continued, "Well, there's so much of it, and it presents a unified face to the world, and it is so very captivating.
Aiden continued, "Well, there's so much of it, and it presents a unified face to the world, and it is so very captivating.
But God, God is scattered around. You look and look for pieces of that mirror that once was God, then you find a piece, but you can only see so much..."
I sat wordlessly.
Aloysius added, "Yes, you see that there are so many views of God, for example, an endless list of religions and such, but there's only one Genocide, isn't there? I mean, there may be many occurences, but it is still pretty much the same slash and shoot."

I did not know. These cute little metaphors that pop out of my writing are just my way of getting through another tedious session at the old keyboard.
They actually have meaning???
The sky was greyer than the tea. The snow was making a determined effort to white-out the world.
reprinted and actually edited and re-drafted and so on...hopefully better, but one never knows.

The Trustee then sends (by regular and certified mail) to the Trustor and any one else entitled a copy of the NOD with the recording information. The NOD notifies the Trustor that the loan is in default, advises the Trustor of the amount then in arrears, and informs the Trustor that he/she must maintain the property and otherwise comply with the other terms and conditions in the Deed of Trust. At this point, the Trustee must wait at least 3 months from the recording date of the NOD before taking the next step in the non-judicial foreclosure process. During this time, the Trustor has the exclusive right to possess and occupy the property since the Trustor remains the legal owner of the property. Neither the Beneficiary nor the Trustee has the right to enter or inspect the premises at this time.
The Trustor also has two other very important rights: the right of reinstatement and the right of redemption. The right of reinstatement allows the Trustor to pay only the back payments, plus late fees, interest, default interest, and the fees and expenses of the Trustee (along with any advances made by the Beneficiary to bring current any senior loan or pay taxes or insurance premiums). The Trustor can then begin making their regular monthly payments with the next installment payment that becomes due. This right of reinstatement may be exercised by the Trustor up until five (5) business days before the Trustee's Sale (discussed below). The Beneficiary has to accept this payment if it is timely made. It is important during this period of time that the Beneficiary not accept anything less than the full amount required to reinstate the loan. Unless there is proper documentation doing so might very well invalidate the NOD and the process must then start anew if the Trustor does not make subsequent payments. Any postponement of the actual sale restarts the five business day reinstatement period.
The right of redemption allows the Trustor to pay off the loan in full (including any accrued interest, default interest, trustee fees and costs, and any advances made on behalf of the Trustor). This right may be exercised at any time up until the auction sale starts.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
While it's still unclear whether or not Rihanna and Chris Brown have reunited romantically, they're making a statement about their relationship with their recently leaked duet, "Nobody's Business." The bold, in-your-face song appears on Rihanna's forthcoming album, Unapologetic.
"You'll always be my boy/I'll always be your girl/It ain't nobody's business, but mine and my baby," Rih Rih sings on the track, which samples Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel."
Yet, the pop superstar had more to say apart from the new song about keeping some parts of her personal life private, despite her willingness to give musically to her fans.
"'Nobody's Business' is basically the way I look at everything regarding my personal life," explained the leading American Music Awards nominee. "When it gets to my music and stuff like that, I'll give and I'll give and I'll give, and I just feel like I need to keep a little bit for me that I get to the side."
Chris echoed the songstress' sentiments and conveyed something similar during his visit to Power 106's Big Boy's Neighborhood radio show in Los Angeles. He said of the song, "This record was a statement... Us as friends, as human beings, as entertainers, everything we do isn't everybody's business. At the end of the day, we gon' show y'all how dope it is and show y'all how epic our artistry is."
The two continue to rapidly ascend in their careers with Brown directing music videos and signing to Wilhelmina Models and Rihanna starting her whirlwind "777" tour to hype the upcoming release of her new album.

Minorities, Women Drowning Under Student Debt Loads
Americans carry more than $1 trillion of student debt, and the impact from the this kind of debt hits people from every walk of life. However, according to two new studies, minorities and women suffer greater repercussions from the loans they pile on to get through college – chiefly because they're the victims of a pay gap that has them earning less than their white male peers.
According to a report, of those who gradated with a bachelor's degree in 2008 and were employed in 2009, men outearned women by as much as $7,000 a year even when they were working in the same field and had graduated with the same major – business in this case. That pay gap means that a larger portion of the women's income went towards debt service than did her male coworkers'.
Women aren't the only ones who face larger barriers to repaying student debt. Statistics released by Campus Progress and the Center for American Progress in a 2012 report, "The Student Debt Crisis,"demonstrate how much heavier the student debt burden is for minorities.
The report states that 27 percent of black bachelor's degree holders had more than $30,500 in loans, compared with 16 percent of white bachelor's degree holders. More black students who left school without finishing a degree cited student debt as the reason than their white peers – 69 percent versus 43 percent – and 74 percent of Latinos who opted out of attending college cited finances as the reason, the report states.
The reasons behind the minority debt gap aren't nearly as straightforward. Minority students already graduate with a higher debt load than their white peers and, as a double whammy, also suffer higher rates of post-graduation unemployment, which greatly limits their ability to pay back the loan.
There are numerous other steps the Student Loan Ranger believes federal agencies and Congress should take. All institutions of higher education should have to adopt the Financial Aid Shopping Sheet so prospective students can easily understand the true cost of college and compare institutions. In many instances, low-income students may find that schools with higher tuition actually cost less when their eligibility for financial aid is factored in than nominally cheaper schools.
There are a number of measures in front of lawmakers to make the student loan landscape more equitable. Among them is the Know Before you Owe Act, which will give borrowers tools to make it easier for them to max out subsidized and unsubsidized federal loans before turning to more expensive private lenders to make up the rest.
And, as the National Consumer Law Center has repeatedly noted, there is a real need to provide relief for past victims of predatory lending and to ensure these practices will not continue.

If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of another party's negligence, the physical, emotional and financial consequences you face are too severe to go unfairly compensated.

A long-term relationship that started with some basic PHP assistance evolved into a partnership that oversaw a major rebranding, web application upgrade, and cutting-edge cloud hosting implementation.
Liquid Freight, a food grade logistics company, had a PHP web application that the original developer was no longer able to support. Liquid Freight brought in Earthling Interactive to fix and maintain the existing PHP application and help the company expand digital maturity in an industry primed for disruptive technology. Increased adoption of mobile technology meant that Liquid Freight needed to do more than just prop up a legacy application. With a diversity of regional geographies that included rural and urban areas; drivers, carriers and shippers needed the appropriate tech to respond to diverse partner demands.
After fixing some short-term maintenance issues, we went on to redesign the CMS template, upgrade and transition the CMS through a major version change, and redesign the application. We followed up the CMS upgrade with updated brand visuals in collaboration with local design agency, Swink Inc.
The resulting application offered dramatic improvements to user experience and app functionality including:
"You've always understood us, you're great listeners, and have always come up with cost effective solutions... Never once have you given us a reason not to trust you. On top of all of that, you are nice people." - Brandon Johnson, Liquid Freight CEO
Since Earthling started working with Liquid Freight in 2012 we've seen how offering a full array of consulting and technical services can elevate a solid company to a highly competitive digital enterprise. Clients and customers take notice of Liquid Freight's commitment to staying on the leading edge in technology and 2016, Liquid Freight was granted an Innovator of the Year award by the largest software logistics company in their industry.
