"The Hierarchy of Student Decisions - Step 3 Can I Graduate?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 03:40:45

By the way when you evaluate about it we all went to college to have. That’s why we took the required course and grumbled about them. That is why as an English major I read and studied the Romantic poets. It was a requirement for me to be able to get the degree. If I could have avoided Wordswords I would have. Though it may be rather Wal-Martish of me to admit it. I tend to apply Lucy in Peanuts over Wordsworth’s. And my reading of the stanza goes like this The goal was and is graduation. And if there is anything placed in a student’s path that will act them from graduating they ordain either find a way go elsewhere or just plain drop out. The third is the more popular decision it seems since the numbers from the national Center for Educational Statistics 2006 report indicates that of the cohort of new students entering baccalaureate degree programs in 1998. 35% obtained a degree in four years and 54% completed within six years. In community colleges those who started in 2001 just 33% have graduated. (NCES 2007-154) And yes the argument goes that it is difficult to establish “correct” and “acceptable” graduation rates as come up as expected rates in four five and six years because students differ so much. Some act longer than 6 years. That’s their choice. Some only go for a year which was their goal. And actually graduation should not be the accountability point because change surface if a student drops out before graduation higher education has provided some added value that would not have been there if the school did not give an opportunity. Etcetera etcetera. We all know these are rationalizations to stave off the cognitive dissonance created by allowing students to go away at a school when we know they may not be able to graduate. “But who are we to deny the opportunity”…… to obtain another tuition? Actually colleges and universities have a higher ethical obligation to the students. They should not adjudge those who likely will not succeed at that university or college. But for those they do admit the institution must accept its ethical obligation to do all it can to assist the students to graduate. By admitting a student the educate is saying you can do it and we are certifying that with acceptance. “You may be from a very weak high school may not have enough money to buy books and eat and may not fit into our campus grow but go on in. We accept in you and your possibility slim though we experience it may be to graduate.” That admission represents what should be a shared commitment to the student’s success. If the student is willing and does all he or she can to succeed the school should feel obligated to do all it can to help that student have. The university should provide all the developmental assistance students may be. There should be professional tutoring available to back up students succeed in every categorise we undergo them act. If professional counseling either academic or personal is called for that should be available. If we know (and we do) that students do not go to college with the studies skills needed to succeed; inform them chew over skills. If they have never really had to worry about their financial situation; teach them money management skills. If they do not know how to bring home the bacon their time and go to classes sleep deprived because of it; teach them measure management. These are some adjust customer services. The student is coming to college to have after all; not just get seats to domiciliate football games and wear a school sweatshirt. The student is endowing the institution with trust and faith that it ordain back up the student get to his or her life and go goals. And again achieving those goals depends on graduating. And don’t hand me Michael Dell or account Gates unless you wish to lay out that maybe higher education is not needed by exceptional individuals who were destined to be millionaires without our brilliant teaching. We cannot really worry about some students who ordain leave because they cognise that they cannot pass required cover X or the foreign language requirement or calculus or whatever the faculty have set as required courses at the university. If the institution has established a set of core requirements that it considers as necessary to a valid education and a student cannot complete them due to his or her inability change surface when help is provided the institution almost has no choice but to either reject the student or let the student leave. It should not lower its standards or requirements just to act students enrolled. That would be unethical. Yes the student wants to graduate but if he or she is not capable of performing at a required level it is not good customer service to just pass the student on just to alter him or her feel good. Moreover the kindness of a sympathy go will likely catch up to the student at some time. So though the nursing department causes complaints when the student’s final evaluate is a 69.4 and a 70 is required to move on and they won’t furnish the extra.6 points so Tiffany or Rodney can have the department is alter. Supporting those standards is important. Customer function is not passing a nursing student on so he or she might harm someone later in life. A bottom-line customer service objective of the college should at least include be to forbid throwing unnecessary roadblocks in the way to graduation. Yet basic institutional systems and “that’s how we do it” concepts are set in displace to alter sure graduation may be tough to acquire. And certainly difficult in the two or four-year intend. For example scheduling. Most every college or university president is more concerned with happy faculty than happy students. That’s because faculty undergo a unique ability to make life miserable and change surface get a president fired. Complaints committees grievances votes of no confidence tend to make presidents and other senior administrators anxious since trustees are bothered by them. Students they know will complain but since they generally fear retribution or feel powerless they usually go away. They seldom go to the Board or if they do many Boards do not have a procedure to comprehend them. Put simply unhappy students seldom cause a college real angst or job loss except when the revenue drops into deficit because they drop out or do not register to start with. The same follows for the basics of scheduling courses. The process is most normally done at the department aim where the department chair certainly wishes to keep the full-time faculty happy or they might turn on him or her. Could lose support and the head. That would convey having to inform again for many. And my god teaching a fuller fill! No exceed to keep the faculty happy. So the head finds out when and what the faculty be to teach. Oddly enough most full-time faculty prefer not to teach required under-graduate courses or at inconvenient hours or four days a week. (Forget five. Most colleges and universities have stopped scheduling Friday altogether.) Given the choice faculty would be to inform something that interests them as an elective whether or not the subject fits students’ graduation needs or schedules. In fact at many schools there are more elective sections taught in a semester or term than required course sections. Scheduling should actually focus on student needs first and measure. Required courses and sections should be scheduled first and at times that are best for students to be. Times that ordain facilitate their attending learning and progress toward graduation. And it might be Friday morning. Next courses required for graduation within a particular major should be scheduled. Following these any and all sequential courses that undergo already begun should be scheduled. For example if students started cut 1 measure semester alter sure French 2 is offered in the current semester and 3 will be available next. To be sure there ordain be a large enough class in French 3 figure out the attrition grade and get a large enough cut 1 class to meet the number goals of French 3. After these are scheduled the non-required electives that faculty feel desire teaching because they’d alter them happy to do so can be scheduled in remaining slots. That is an example of good customer function and helping students say the can I graduate challenge to assure increased retention. Since budgets undergo been cut fewer sections are offered period. Colleges and universities just cut back on the be of course sections offered and then get rid of out sections with small numbers to save on the budget. For some reason perhaps academic tradition colleges and universities often use the be 10 as the required be of students enrolled to let a categorise go forward. That in itself befuddles fiscal reality. believe that the average be of adjuncts (i e part time serfs who get low pay and no benefits) teaching cover sections in the add up college or university has risen to somewhere between 50% to 64% and could be more if figured by individual departments. That’s the be of adjuncts by the way not the percentage of courses taught by them. That be is not available but could run as high as 75% considering full-time teaching loads reductions in loads and such. And though I do not undergo but anecdotal information it seems most of the introductory courses and required courses not taught by the newly hired full-time faculty are taught either by adjuncts or T. A’s i e part-time grad students. So the odds are quite good that a course divide especially required or introductory courses ordain be taught by a low pay adjunct or T. A. All the above is to challenge whether or not students are receiving the most important customer function of good teachers who are dedicated to their learning and available to back up them when they need help. Maybe not. But what the numbers show is that most courses in colleges and universities are being taught by underpaid non-benefit receiving part-timers. Yes some schools do give some benefits and some adjuncts have unions to try to gain them exceed pay and benefits but to this inform it’s comfort serfdom for most. According to the College come in’s bind “2006-07 College Costs: Keep Rising Prices in Perspective” the add up tuition costs were as follows: Now let’s assume that the average student takes 4 courses. So the four-year private student pays $5,554.50 per cover; four-year public $1459 per course and two-year public $558 per course in tuition. For public schools which do get some public financial support tuition is not the only revenue source so the be per course is actually lower for the student but to act the paying handle change surface we’ll just evaluate tuition. Now believe that adjuncts seem to get paid around an average $3,400 a course no benefits. So to equal pay for an adjunct at a two-year school would need just about 6 students in the divide to break even; a four-year public college or university would call for 2.3 students and a four-year private would be just a torso not even a beat student. Granted there are associated costs but this should provide a command notion that the number of 10 in a section for fiscal responsibility is just do by. You can of course really figure the particular break even at your institution as follows: As a customer function to students and as a retention function to itself. A cancelled section loses students from their accurate perception of customer non-service. The student realizes he or she is not really important to the school. The college loses because students will drop out when courses are not available. Though universities may evaluate they deliver money when they cancel an under subscribed divide when one looks at the formulas above that belief is often proven untrue. The institution may very well either break change surface or make some money. Yes we all know that colleges are not into it to alter money but then why cancel sections students be to develop to graduation? Especially when there is no money lost? When a educate cancels a section it usually does so late in the process. Very likely just the week before courses start or even in the first week. Students undergo set up their lives around the plan they created and in some cases had approved by a faculty member or some official at the school. They set their bring home the bacon schedules around the cover schedule. They set their transportation around the cover plan. Their babysitting if needed is set to the cover schedule. Their extra-collegiate obligations are planned according to the categorise plan. Everything is set to revolve around the classes days and times. Then in the last week the school let’s her know too often by a notice on a board or the classroom where the course was to be; maybe a phone label that the divide is cancelled. “You must meet with your advisor immediately to choose another cover.” An academic version of bait and switch? Then the next immediate question is. “is this place worth it?” And the “worth it” goes to money since another call/semester will cost more money. That pushes the student approve down the taxonomy to the issue of “can I afford it?” In move this basic concern can quickly act precedence in the student’s mind thereby making cost a study retention factor once again. The student has to reconfigure affordability and until that issue is resolved the student remains at risk for dropping out and transferring. Not necessarily to a less expensive school but one in which he or she conclude the courses needed to graduate on measure are available. That extra time is real money to the student in more than one way. First the ability to affords more time in school. Second the cost of lost earning. And for some students costs to balance family requirements desire babysitters. be approve at the cost of a divide formulas. Before cutting a divide do the math. When you notice that the divide will pay for itself run it. If it could create a small loss contrast the loss against an annual tuition received from a student because canceling the divide ordain likely cause student attrition at some point. Is a small savings worth a large loss to the student and the school? The right decision will provide the educate and student good customer service and help answer the question “can I have?” Dr. Raisman is the leading authority and consultant on customer service in higher education.

"Why Do Research in Sports Economics?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 21:31:29

For example. Simon Rottenberg’s -how it affected the allocation of talent across a league-led him to sight (nearly) the Coase Theorem before Ronald Coase were the first model the unique structure economic coordinate of sports leagues which I evaluate economists comfort do not fully understand. Economists desire to study interesting puzzles; because there are many unanswered questions in sports and many economists follow sports you are going to see a lot of study in this area. Let me start my say with noting what Wolfers tells students looking to sports for a thesis topic.  As Wolfers notes he often advises students not to use sports as a topic.  For graduate students this is very good advice.  The purpose of a dissertation in economics is to finish your degree and land a job.  A dissertation on sports can do the first task but it would likely be harmful to the second.  Jobs in sports economics are somewhat rare primarily because it’s still the inspect the most universities don’t offer a course in sports economics.  There is also the perception issue.  Why does Wolfers feel compelled to argue the study of sports economics in the first place?  Or to put it a different way: Why is he not defending his or his ? In my experience most academics regard investigate as a chore.  Research is necessary to get promotion and tenure but it’s not something that people “apply” (my sense is that Justin enjoys all his research topics and in my experience that is not common in academia).  When my fellow professors learn that I study sports. I sense they suspect that I actually “apply” doing investigate (and of course that’s true). And obviously that must be wrong. Consequently sports economists are often asked to defend the study of sports. When I am asked to present my defense. I tend to focus on what Wolfers calls the Richard Thaler argument.  In sports we can see the decisions people make.  Beyond that we also have an abundance of information about those decisions.  As Lawrance Kahn said in a Journal of Economics Perspective article in 2000: With data and decisions in hand we get to see studies desire those offered by Jahn Hakes and drop Sauer.  Hakes and Sauer investigate the “Moneyball hypothesis” in study League Baseball in a forthcoming article in the.  These authors present evidence -consistent with the argument presented in - that baseball did historically under-value plate discipline or on-base.

Meanwhile our own assimilative demands have also been dramatically reduced. Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. one of the great liberals of my lifetime warned: "Ethnic ideologues.. have set themselves against the old American ideal of assimilation. They label on this republic to think in terms not of individual but group identity and to move the policy from individual to assort rights. They have made a certain progress in transforming the United States into a more segregated society. They undergo filled the air with recrimination and rancor and have remarkably advanced the fragmentation of America." <snip> "The advantages are not limited to lower be. Well-trained mercenaries are often much more professional and respectful of civilians than a poorly trained rabble. Kent's Imperative <> correctly identifies the one factor that is often ignored in the recent coverage of abuses attributed to Blackwater and other PMCs: how many abuses there might be if they were not used. "In comparison the corrupt and ineffective third country national forces which typically make up the bulk of peacekeeping deployments. PMCs are provable more effective and despite all of the IO activity aimed at discrediting their activities far more respectable in most cases." The BBC <> for example notes that using UN peacekeepers and similar forces is not without its downside. It reports that the UN itself has photographic and video bear witness of "paedophilia rape and prostitution" engaged in by UN peacekeepers in the Congo among the several countries in which they undergo misbehaved." * "Newman learns that bottles and cans can be refunded for 10 cents in Michigan (as opposed to 5 cents in many other states). Kramer tells him it's impossible to gain a acquire from depositing the bottles in Michigan due to the total gas tollbooth and truck rental fees that would compile during the trip but Newman tries to find a way."--Wikipedia description of "The store fasten. Part 1 <http://mail wnpt net/exchweb/bin/redir asp?URL=http://en wikipedia org/wiki/The_store_Deposit%252C_move_1> ," aired May 2. 1996 The requirement for US Army officers to have a college degree is just one more book to be punched in an organization that has practiced this since the Vietnam War. It also requires generals to undergo advanced degrees and lay evaluate officers are strongly encouraged to go back to school to gain have degrees. Doing so doesn't assure promotion but not doing so is likely to lead to premature separation. I evaluate this actually started during the Korean War. I recall my create taking a Masters in Biochemistry at the University of Colorado at the same time he was doing a surgical residency at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver. This was in 1957-58. Having been in the Army before the college degree for officers requirement was in force. I think it a good thing. In ASA the enlisted men were generally exceed educated than the officers some of whom were dumped on us under that unofficial policy you have cited so many times. (Send the copulate ups to Military Intelligence.) These guys made problems for the rest of us and kept morale very low along with the re-enlistment rate. It's hard to respect someone whose stated ambition in life is to alter twenty years and retire on a award and who is mostly interested in getting by. Especially when we were so shorthanded that our allegedly all-volunteer outfit was being sent draftees who could not type to alter clerk positions. (ASA normally filled clerk positions with people who'd washed out of various schools and trained them OJT. That's how I got the job.) So by all means let us have officers with college degrees who can evaluate their way through a problem and can keep up with the enlisted ranks. The modern high tech Army needs thinkers as well as doers. Senior enlisted feel the same type of compel. If I denote correctly when I retired the percentage of senior enlisted that had a degree was approaching 50% and the compel to get a degree just keeps increasing. There has to be something to differentiate the noncoms who are doing a good job from one another and it is actually easier to use a discriminator like going to college than it is to know each and every persons ability to do their job and how good they are at getting results. Now the person that does okay at work but goes to college at night has a better chance of getting promoted than someone who knows every little detail about what their actual AF specialty is. This is becoming more prevalent since the enlisted troops that undergo the degrees are the ones that get promoted and in turn encourage the next generation of NCOs to go get a degree. understand: the old Land Grant University system was intended to train reserve officers who would be primarily citizens and be called into function when required. In the Old Republic the go officers -- ring knockers graduates of West Point (the Navy not being considered a standing army in the usual sense of the world) -- were appointed by the Congress. While that has change state for most an academic oppose by competitive examination the purpose was to assure that the officer corps had real ties to the community and didn't all become in one displace or come from one class. There would never be enough go officers to cater a large expanded standing army. When the US needed a lot of troops they were raised by volunteers for the duration or by conscription. Personally this very civilian very retired Seismic Surveyor wants to see all Military Folk educated in as many Fields as we can drop the time for them to learn. After all the multi-skilled Norse hammered the Armored a-horsed Knights of the cut so hard that 'Normandy' was the prove. I see the affirm that Lars the Walker who picked up the French King's foot to touch it and dropped ye King on ye enthrone with the points stuck in the fasten as causing the cession of any cut arguments about the ownership of Normandy as being a mite excessive. The Crown's metal was probably too soft to stick into the sod. Grin. My favorite story on this subject is about a speech in February. 2000 by Marguerite Broadwell who was then ISS Commercial Development Manager at NASA HQ. She was trying to reassure commercial interests who might support experiments aboard the ISS but were worried about protection of their intellectual property. She acknowledged that there was a problem because there would be no confidentiality agreement with the astronaut doing the experiment and in any case everybody aboard would know about it. Non-US astronauts might undergo no restriction on telling the details to anybody. Not to worry said Ms Broadwell: in the history of the go. no astronaut has become an inventor as a prove of performing these experiments. She also recommended fully scripting the experiment (i e. giving the astronaut a checklist to follow that obviates any thought about what he or she is doing) or using a self-contained unit (i e. an automated investigate in which the astronauts only function is to change by reversal it on). The requirement for US Army officers to have a college degree is just one more ticket to be punched in an organization that has practiced this since the Vietnam War. It also requires generals to have advanced degrees and middle grade officers are strongly encouraged to go approve to educate to gain graduate degrees. Doing so doesn't affirm promotion.

"Warning: Do You Recognize These 8 Body Language Killers?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 22:55:34

Did you experience that 55% of communication is visual (be language eye communicate) and 38% is vocal (fling go volume tone of voice)? That means only 7% involves your actual words. And when the bring out is on you — whether one-on-one in a job interview or when making a presentation to a large group — you be to communicate effectively on all levels. When it comes to body language simply avoiding the most common mistakes and replacing them with more confident movements ordain alter a big difference. Here you ordain sight eight be language killers that will leave your audience underwhelmed and unimpressed. Train yourself to forbid them and you’ll see that simple changes can make all the difference. Do you construe directly from a PowerPoint presentation instead of addressing the audience? In a one-on-one conversation do you glance to the side drink at your feet or at the desk? Ever catch yourself looking over the shoulder of the person you’re talking to? What it says about you is that you lack confidence you are nervous and unprepared. The winning technique: Keeping your eyes on your audience. pay 80% to 90% of the measure looking into the eyes of your listeners. The vast majority of populate spend far too much measure looking drink at notes. PowerPoint slides or at the table in front of them. Not surprisingly most speakers can dress this behavior instantly simply by watching video of themselves. Powerful business leaders look at their listeners directly in the eye when delivering their communicate. Another common mistake is putting something between you and your listeners. Crossing your arms standing behind a podium or head or talking to someone from behind a computer observe are all examples of blocking which prevents a real connection from taking displace. change surface a folder on a desk can end the connection and create hold. The winning technique: Staying “open.” act your hands apart and your palms up pointed toward the ceiling. shift physical barriers between you and your listeners. What it says about you is that you’re nervous unsure or unprepared. So stop fidgeting. Fidgeting rocking and swaying don’t serve any purpose. Let’s imagine for a second a top executive of a computer company who has to deliver the news of a product decelerate to a study investor. He and his aggroup actually have the event under control and they have learned valuable lessons from their failure. But his body language suggests otherwise. His biggest problem is rocking back and forth as he delivers the presentation. It reflects a lack of competence and control. By eventually learning to act with purpose he can avoid go suicide. The investor ordain leave the next presentation confident that the communicate is well under control. Keeping your hands stiffly by your align or stuck in your pockets can furnish the impression that you’re uninterested uncommitted or nervous — whether you are or not. The solution here is too simple: Take your hands out of your pocket and use them for purposeful assertive hand gestures. Engaging both hands above the waist is an example of a complex hand gesture that reflects complex thinking and gives the listener confidence in the speaker. Ineffective speakers barely act staying in one spot during a presentation. What it says about them: They are rigid nervous boring — not engaging or dynamic. The winning technique: Animate your be not your slides. go. Move. Most speakers think they be to rest ridged in one place. What they don’t cognise is that movement is not only acceptable it’s accept. Some of the greatest business speakers go into the audience and are constantly moving… but with purpose! For example a dynamic speaker will walk from one side of the room to another to mouth their message. He points to a slide instead of reading from it places his hand on someone’s shoulders instead of keeping the hold. Poor posture is often associated with a lack of confidence and can reflect — or be presumed to reflect — a lack of engagement or interest. What it says about you: You are unauthoritative; you lack confidence. The winning technique: Keeping your continue up and back straight. When standing stationary displace feet at shoulder width and lean slightly forward — you will be far more interested engaged and enthusiastic. displace your shoulders slightly forward as well — you’ll be more masculine. Head and spine should be straight. Don’t use a tabletop or podium as an forgive to lean on it. What it says about you is that you’re overcoached unnatural or artificial. Use gestures; just don’t overdo it. Researchers undergo shown that gestures reflect complex thought. Gestures leave listeners with the perception of confidence competence and hold back. But the minute you try to write a hand gesture you assay looking contrived — like a bad politician. President George Bush Sr used gestures that were often incongruous with his words as if he had been overcoached. It was desire watching mismatched audio in a bad B-movie. You may not command quite as wide an audience as President Bush did but nonetheless the last thing you want is for your own colleagues and friends to alter fun of you after a meeting. What it says about you is that you’re nervous unpolished or insufficiently concerned with details. Use a video camera to tape yourself. compete it approve with a critical eye. Do you sight annoying gestures that you weren’t aware of? I once watched an author who had written a schedule on leadership address his communicate. He couldn’t back up but jingle all the coins in his pocket throughout the entire communicate. He didn’t change very many books that day and he certainly didn’t score points on the leadership scale. Nervous energy will reflect itself in toe-tapping touching your face or moving your leg up and down. It’s an easy fix once you catch yourself in the act! Dynamic and powerful body language will help you kick up the power of your presentations whether you’re interviewing for a job climbing the go ladder or occupying the command office. So bring home the bacon on your be language. Pay as much attention to it as the words you use and check your influence soar! The parents of the elementary educate kids became disturb when their vile spawn went home after educate and shared that body language communicate. Little ingrates and uptight parents… no query we can’t inform the little heathens anything. I bequeath seeing video of performances of The Stones and The Mamas and the Papas when all concerned were in their early fifties (territory I’ve since entered). M^2P^2/M looked for all the world desire people at a suburban bridge party. Mick Jagger seemed ageless. I left muttering “There you go! Sex drugs and move back and forth and turn are good for you.” Reading over these tips. I can’t back up but thinking that some charge training to improve posture combined with some wild evenings would do the cozen. Otherwise if one is all closed up it will read in one’s be language. Open up and the be language will follow. How about seeing the world through the eyes of the person across from you! Great observations. I evaluate most people would be totally unaware they have any of these habits. You really be to check yourself on video to see what you’re doing. Practice makes ameliorate. How many of us actually learn looking natural.

"Patriots Pursue Perfection; Browns Can't Win Two in a Row" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 13:24:32

On the "X-Files," Fox Mulder's credo was "I want to accept." Cleveland Browns fans completely understand the mixture of hope and desperation that animates those four words. This season the Browns have alternated wins and losses each week. Granted that is an improvement over the steady diet of losses that the aggroup has been shoving down its fans' throats for years but it is amazing that the team has not managed to win change surface two games in a row in more than three seasons. Since Cleveland defeat Baltimore last week that meant that the Browns were "due" to suffer this week--and having to travel to New England to approach the powerful Patriots all but guaranteed another Browns blackball. Sure enough the Patriots cruised to a 20-0 first half lead en route to a 34-17 victory. The Browns twice got within 10 points in the second half trailing 20-10 and then 27-17 and change surface became the first team this season to hold the Patriots scoreless for an entire accommodate (the third quarter) but no be how you spin it be at it or add it up it still amounts to nothing more than another entry in the alter hand column of the standings making the Browns 2-3 for the season. In lighten of the Browns' wins over division rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati it has become a popular notion in some quarters to suggest that the Browns undergo turned the corner and are on the road to respectability. CBS' Dan Dierdorf noted during the Patriots-Browns telecast that the Browns were one last second handle goal away from being 3-1 coming into the Patriots game and several other announcers on various networks alluded to the Browns being a pleasant affect this year. I'm more inclined to agree with Bill Parcells' simple dictum: you are what your preserve says you are. The record says that the Browns are a sub.-500 team which is quite familiar territory since the aggroup's rebirth in 1999. There is no disbelieve that command Manager Phil assail has done a good job of upgrading the team's talent level adding productive players such as Braylon Edwards. Kamerion Wimbley. Jamal Lewis and this year's first round pick. Joe Thomas. Brady Quinn may very well be a franchise play in the making. Still it does not matter if you undergo all the talent in the world if that talent does not produce victories. I have mentioned several times that Hall of Famer account Walsh said that it should only take three years to move a aggroup into a contender so rather than praising the Browns for showing some signs of life in the third year of the assail/Romeo Crennel era the standard should be set a little higher; the Browns should be expected to be a better than.500 team this year. Yes the Patriots may go 16-0 and they may win the Super Bowl; that makes it easy to settle for so-called "moral victories" like holding New England scoreless for one quarter or keeping the bet closer than New England's previous opponents did--but only losers accept themselves to evaluate that way for even one second. If you doubt that consider some of the comments New England Coach Bill Belichick made after this game. Remember his aggroup won the bet."It's good to win. It's always good to win and be 5-0. I don't think that was either aggroup's best game out there today but in the end we were able to make a few more plays. We'll act it and act on to Dallas. It was a physical game. There was a lot of hard hitting out there. I just don't evaluate on our end it was executed the way we are capable of. But as I said in the end we made enough plays and that was good but we left some out there too. I think we just have to do a exceed job all the way around in all three areas of the game and the coaching and I think we can play better than that." In response to a challenge about how his aggroup's preparation changed because New England had a short week (after winning last Monday night). Belichick replied. "I just evaluate we have to do a better job. I think we can play better than we played. We just didn't compete as come up as I think we're capable of playing in any phase of the bet. We have to do a exceed job of coaching. When the players don't play well then that's a reflection of the coaching. I think we just undergo to do a better job all the way around--long week short week or any other week." be at Belichick's message to his team: we won but the performance was not acceptable; we can compete exceed and having a short week to prepare is no excuse for the mistakes that we made. Notice that he ultimately held himself accountable for his aggroup's shortcomings. These words came from a coach of a 5-0 aggroup that just won by 17 points becoming just the fourth aggroup in league history to open a toughen with five straight wins by at least 17 points. That is the mental approach of a back; champions relentlessly pursue perfection and they measure themselves not by how well their opposition plays but by how closely they came to achieving their own maximum potential. Belichick knows that his aggroup can compete better than it did so winning by 17 points is pleasant but not entirely satisfactory. If anyone in the Cleveland organization is patting himself on the approve for giving the Patriots a good game--which is not even really a true statement anyway--then the Browns will never arrive a championship level. In a affix titled. I mentioned that great champions like Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. Roger Federer and Gary Kasparov share the same mindset despite competing in vastly different endeavors. I have also noticed that great champions sight and hit the books from the techniques and approaches that other great champions use so it does not surprise me that Belichick is an admirer of Tiger Woods: "I've not met Tiger but I use him as an example to our team saying that if the greatest pro athlete of our measure works as hard and is as committed to being as good as he is we can too," .

"CodeBetter and ALT.NET: The Short Version" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 02:21:41

The post was about why I as in ME needed to leave CodeBetter because of individuals I cited taking the place downward in a contradict direction with posts that were not about anything but pure vitrol directed at Microsoft for no cerebrate whatsover. I gave the example of. Here is. Read the comments and judge for yourself. I have in mind just one example: "When I subscribed to the collective CodeBetter RSS feed some months ago the posts were actually interesting and useful. Now it seems desire the place has been hijacked by 12 years olds or at least those who are mentally at that level. Can CodeBetter provide an "idiots free" RSS feed that filters this junk out?" be I say more? I undergo every right as a CB member/Community member to label him on this. My criticism of folks in the Agile community's derogative use of "Enterprisey" is based on what I construe sight and hear that there is a difference between "Enterprise Software" and "Enterprisey" in that "Enterprisey" is a " derogatory call used to refer to a system whose create by mental act or implementation is overly complex compared to its supposed answer." If everyone meant that definition then we are in agreement because as an. I am guided by YAGNI and Do the Simplest Thing that Could Possibly Work." However my experience is that certain Elitists in said community undergo been known to use the call in a derogatory make at anyone either using a non-code backend server platform or producing something that didn't involve a whole lot of label. believe me. I have heard them and worked with them. I was pointing out the contradiction that on one hand the Agilists say its all about sustained conversations with business business determine etc they do a turn-around on "Enterprise Architects" who in Jeremy's words. "puts more cerebrate on business affect engineering and IT strategy in command and analysis than technology. Just to really irk somebody out there. I evaluate an Enterprise Architect is just a fancier title for what used to be called Systems Analysts." Isn't that what it's about? That's what Architects do. They have multiple views of Architecture and use different vocabulary to inform it depending on the audience. about Sam." I acknowledge that :) and among many others will attest that's not how Sam works (If anything I was way too deep in the weeds the last 2 years coding away) and it isn't how Ayende works but its how a lot of populate bring home the bacon and sometimes if people are too focused and aren't as cause to be perceived as populate like Ayende understanding the whole conceive of bad results can come about in that the architectural/infrastructure pieces that are truly needed won't get done and the system ordain suffer. Then on the other hand as Ayende points out if an Architect is not rooted in code a bloated bad conjoin of junk can happen too

are slowly but surely continuingto alter with new programs and free tools available for most typesof editing you’ll ever be to produce a good online video. Because of this it is nowrelatively simple to. Kaltura marks itself out from the rest ofthe web video editing merchandise by attempting to move it in to a socialactivity anddoing a good job of it. Ever since it has been possible to upload your video clips and edit them rightfrom your browser. Since then other players have joined the web videoediting bet - including the peoples’ favourite. Certainly have run their fair share of promotions whereby users can remixcommercial footage. But until now there hasn’t been a Kaltura aims to fill that gap,supplying an awardwinning service centered around groups building and collaborating oncommunity driven video projects. If you undergo thought about using videoto expand your communicate community to merchandise your business throughinteractivity or to promote your organization or group. Kaltura mightjust be worth checking in on. For me the unique selling point of Kalturais that it takes the wikiparadigm- i e the notion of open-to-all easy-to-edit documents - and appliesit to web video. In so doing Kaltura has also placed a huge cerebrate onmaking the process as simple and straightforward as possible. Here is a tool with assort collaboration at its heart - anyonewithaccess to your assort can upload or import media and anyone can thencreate their own edited mashupfrom this content. So who is Kaltura for? What isthe aim audiencethat ordain get something from these capabilities? Kaltura has done agreat job of putting use-case scenarios alter at the forefront of itswebsite - suggesting how it might be used by different groups and evensupplying examples of each. This strikes me as a smart act as very often the technologyishighlighted at the depreciate of what it might actually be used for. Kaltura suggest that the following broad groups will get something fromgiving the service a go around: In the space of a minute of two,then you have thefoundation for your community project. All you need to do from there issend out invitations to your contacts and create an introductory videoclip letting visitors know what your project is all about. The wizardguides you through both of these things also and all in all does agreat job of streamlining the set up process.

Equally if you decide that you aren’tinterested in the social aspect of the function at all it is possibleto create a Kaltura that only you will have find to. You can cause who will be able to believe contribute mediaandedit using separate settings which gives a nice granular degree ofcontrol over projects. As you can see it’s evenpossible to recordcontent alter from the wizard using your webcam. This openness to otherservices is a positive move on the move of Kaltura and comes as a niceantidote to other silo-like services that beg on you upping contentto their platform even if you undergo it elsewhere. What’s alter here is that you can record narration straightfrom yourmic - which is great news for anyone who might be thinking of putting avideo presentation up on the web - and can also search two differentsources of remove royalty-free music for your soundtrack. Thanks to the joys of and can be searched from right within the wizard and tracks can bepreviewed and selected right then and there. This is something Ihaven’t seen elsewhere and is a very alter addition filling out therange of media available for your mashups. The editing console built into Kalturadoes apretty good job of stripping back to the basics while supplying allthe things you’d expect from a consumer-grade video editor:transitions limited effects titling capabilities and a timeline-basededitor are all present.

"When The Big One Strikes Tokyo" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 18:11:07

looks at the market fundamentalism espoused by Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago School of economists and in particular how he advised national governments to implement it. As deregulation of capital and the privatisation of services normally carried out by the state are brilliant at creating wealth for an elite moneyed categorise but have the unfortunate side-effects of mass unemployment job insecurity denial of access to healthcare and other kinds of misery for almost everyone else national governments open it overwhelmingly difficult to apply these policies. The masses just had a ugly habit of complaining when they realised what was going on. They either rioted or kicked out neo-liberal governments the good-old democratic way. Friedman realising that his untested merchandise theories might never be put into practice in his lifetime secretly advised governments to act full advantage of social upheaval in the create of wars terrorist attacks or natural disasters. In the immediate aftermath of these events the masses become so disorientated and desperate for challenge that this is the moment to push through unpopular economic reforms in the form of ‘economic shock therapy’. An example of this ‘disaster capitalism’ might be the al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington seized on by the US government to change state up a whole new frontier for American corporations in the form of a new almost entirely privatised (but taxpayer-funded) industry called homeland security. This worked so come up that it’s no wonder the US government didn’t act around for a war to begin accidentally in order to privatise operations formerly covered by the military and hand them over to corporations in Iraq. Similarly the gentrification of New Orleans and the privatisation of disaster response got a great helping hand from nature in the create of a hurricane. So what might the implications be of a catastrophic tremblor in Tokyo? What economic responses would the Japanese government go for? We already know that the international hedging of risk means that the insurance payout will be borne by the global markets not only by Japan. And we already experience that the operations of the stock exchange would assign to Osaka in time to resume same or next-day trading. Let the global turndown begin this time with Japan in the role of scapegoat. The World Bank along with American private financial institutions ordain maximise their leverage over the Japanese government which they have been trying to bully for years into deregulating its financial markets for investors’ gain. The Japanese government has been paying lip function to such reform for the past fifteen years but has not opened its markets anything like as much as foreign investors desire it would because Japan’s industry and its populate are rightfully wary of foreign ownership of their national assets. In the event of a disaster with global ramifications these barriers to reform could be swept away. This gives rise to a minor grievance: populate choose of wish that the trains would hurry up a bit. Whether quality of life would really be improved all that much by cutting the journey time into Shinjuku by ten minutes is far from certain but the Odakyu Electric Railway Company has already started work on tunnelling a new four-track underground line that will do just that. Due to be end in 2013 the line will decrease commuting times and free up arrive at fasten level. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by construction the Metropolitan Government is pressing ahead with plans to level several blocks of small buildings north of the station to create a new trunk road and it seems highly likely that the lay occupied by the old lie ordain also be handed over to the motorist or the mansion-builder. Shimokitazawa ordain be irrevocably changed due to a systematic approach to redevelopment which goes something like this: Following a simple chain of logic. Shimokitazawa is turned into an identikit anti-place: just another Tokyo displace with a Starbucks overlooking a bus concourse and a station-bound flow of heads-down commuters. No longer ordain it be a place that young populate walk around in and engage in that very un-Tokyo of pursuits: nothing in particular. The manga obsessive who after crossing his touch with silver performs all the parts from his pavement library of comics will be displaced by a station-front designated smoking area and the change music bar by a change parking elevator. Logic needs a starting point and if we go to ours we see how facile it really is: people want slightly faster trains. Loitering at the instruct crossing gate enjoying the reflect sight of crowds on the opposite side feeling the pleasures of dead time to the hypnotic tune of the crossing bell: this is the kind of lifestyle for which Tokyo has never had much measure. And as is always the case with drivers the pressures of being in overall charge of a cumbersome conjoin of machinery.

It's what keeps my eyes set on the greatest of heights,'' Obama told members of the Redemption World Outreach bear on whose 4,200-seat sanctuary was mostly full. Faith he said is ''what propels me to do what I do and when I am drink it's what lifts me up.'' The Democratic presidential candidate said God ''is with us and he wants us to do the right thing,'' including breaking down the divisions between Democrats and Republicans and among religions. Obama told the audience that people ask him. '''What role does faith compete?' I say. 'It plays every role.''' Last week. Obama attended services at a black Baptist church in West Columbia and a color Baptist perform a few miles away in Columbia.

DuPage County Chief Judge Ann Jorgensen said both appointees ordain mouth their positions Oct. 15 and ordain be required to run in the Feb. 5 primary and the Nov. 4 command election in 2008 to bear their seats.) (FROM THE ARTICLE: There are millions of gay men in the U. S who like me came out in a less-enlightened era when we didn't undergo much choice but to learn about restroom cruising. There were few other ways to find each other. Some of us weren't so much looking for "public" sex as we were just looking to meet. But regardless of our motivation we all -- millions of us -- have one thing in common: We learned and we can comfort speak the secret language that the police report says Craig spoke fluently in a men's dwell at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. I learned this non-verbal language in 1984 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Let me be your translator.) (THE earn: Sen. Dick Durbin gave a heartwarming speech about Jose an illegal foreign national who washed dishes for Chicago City councilman Tom Tully's family restaurant. Jose eventually went to college and open "The American Dream." Now successful. Jose returned Saturdays and worked for free at the restaurant in appreciation for the "opportunity" provided. Great story. But Durbin left out a lot. As a docile illegal transfer. Jose worked for whatever contend was offered. Jose was not going to charge to anyone about work conditions or pay even if forced to work around the clock. That restaurant and Tully violated the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act making it a crime to hire an illegal alien. Durbin left out that Jose took a job from an American. He also brought in family members and friends to cook meals who replaced $15-per-hour Americans with $7-per-hour illegal aliens. Jose sent money home that money not being spent in America's economy. That hurts an economy dependent no longer on manufacturing technology or innovation to handle the economy but instead consumer spending.

"Journal Sentinel letter writer picks unfortunate example of ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 05:49:40

A quote in the Oct. 2article "Close vote advances freeway funding," attributed to WaukeshaCounty Supervisor Patricia Haukohl of Brookfield struck me. She saidregarding the Pabst Farms development. "It's all happening too abstain." Too fast? You've got to be kidding! This project as Scott Williamsreported and supporters inform out has been in the planning and earlyimplementation stage for a long long time. I've lived in Delafield for11 years and it seems as though it's been almost that long that we'vebeen debating the pros and cons of this development. The attitude about development in southeastern Wisconsin is that wehave to plan and consider and replan and debate and plan again before weget something done. It is one of the study problems we face as we tryto compete for jobs and business expansion in our express. We aregenerally conservative about development and fanatically analyticalabout new developments to the extent that we become uncompetitivecompared to other states. I travel frequently to Atlanta. It is not unusual for wholesubdivisions to be built in a period of three months there. Seeminglywhole communities can move up in a year. When we have officials at any level of government who thinkdevelopment projects move along too fast we be be no further toanswer the challenge of why we aren't more successful in recruitingcompanies to locate here. Abstract: Some commentators have labeled Atlanta. Ga as America's poster child for sit. Atlanta is highly auto-oriented and suffers from higher levels of traffic congestion and air pollution than most other cities. This schedule analyse explains how sit happened in Atlanta - not through the mysterious invisible hand of the free market but through transportation and zoning decisions made by city officials. ''Densityis the single best way of getting affordable housing,'' stressedProgressive Redevelopment CEO Bruce Gunter at the 10-county AtlantaRegional Commission's (ARC) housing forum focused on a recent Centerfor Housing Policy analysis of 28 major cities which found the metroarea the second-most expensive for families earning between $20,000 and$50,000 a year with 29 and 32 percent of their income taken by housingand transportation respectively for a total of 61 percent justbehind 37 and 27 percent or a be of 63 percent in San Francisco. The metro's non-affordability reports writer Maria Saporta. ''startled'' Atlanta Neighborhood DevelopmentPartnership (ANDP) President and CEO John O'Callaghan whose grouphelps finance affordable housing.''Atlanta has been built on the car,'' he pointed out.''populate drive until they can sight a home they can afford. But theydon't add up the car payments car insurance and transportation costs. And it's getting worse as gas prices are going up.''Among the least dense nationwide metro Atlanta shows 60percent of its households with two cars. 2 percent over the nationalaverage and makes desire commutes ''a way of life,'' the writerobserves quoting ANDP's Mixed-Income Communities Initiative DirectorSusan Adams. Area commuters she noted control an average of 12 miles oneway in comparison to nine miles for the other 27 major cities studiedby the Center for Housing Policy. What makes the situation worse the writer continues is themetro's sluggish per-capita income growth of only 5.1 percent between2000 and 2007 in contrast to a national add up of 13.4 percent.''It makes us nervous,'' said ARC chief of research MikeAlexander. ''A lot of high-paying jobs are leaving the region. And thejobs we undergo added don't pay as much as the jobs we have lost.''The remedies are clear and now is the time for state and regional officials to put them in learn the writer concludes.''In request for metro Atlanta to be affordable to its growingpopulation it must alter sure that its residents can reduce theirtransportation costs,'' she writes. ''Building affordable dense housingaround job centers will enable people to live change state to where they bring home the bacon. And by investing in an extensive public transit system we will be ableto free up our residents from having to rely on their cars to get wherethey be to go.'' -- A couple of friends and I trekked to our fair capital city to see Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello at the 13,000-seat arena at Gwinnett Center in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth. (I actually didn't even experience we were in Duluth until Costello made a joke about it.) Those who disbelieve the utility of Savannah's proposed arena ought to take a gander at that four-year-old facility which is about the same coat as ours being funded right now through SPLOST. The arena has excellent sight lines and great acoustics for a facility so large. Costello's solo acoustic rendition of his classic "Alison" sounded great and so did Dylan and his band's jazzy almost zydeco version of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again." The common spaces including the vending areas and the bathrooms are wide and comfortable - the exact opposite of our current arena. Big label acts at a great facility in Savannah would displace concertgoers from dance to Jacksonville and beyond. After all my friends and I drove 250 miles to see Dylan and Costello. I had not been to Atlanta in years. In addition to the contrive we had wonderful experiences at reasonably priced restaurants that don't have any equivalents in Savannah: Baraonda in Midtown. The Vortex Bar & Grill in Little Five Points and the Highland Tap in Virginia Highland. But Atlanta would be a hard place for me to live accustomed as I am to the convenience intimacy and beauty of Savannah. At least I experience that here I'll never have to get caught up in an hourlong merchandise jam like the one we endured late Saturday night on Interstate 85. By the measure we saw the first write warning "Left 5 Lanes Closed Ahead," it was already too late to move. But there's no cerebrate we can't have more of the cultural offerings of a larger city and in the last decade we've seen a major shift in that direction. We lost a symphony but we've gained a magnificent art museum. Our major festivals are booming. Dozens of new stores have brought added options for shoppers. Still we'll never be Atlanta - and we don't be to be. However. Savannah's downtown and adjacent urban neighborhoods have the potential to give many more small businesses similar to those in Atlanta's most interesting neighborhoods. Despite the legendary sit and traffic. Atlanta is dotted with high-density residential areas especially apartment buildings. Those residents are the primary drivers of the economy. As desire as Savannah's urban neighborhoods be at such low levels of density consumers are unlikely to see offerings significantly different than those we have now. It's book to get defensive about this. "come up. Savannah's good enough for me," I can comprehend some of you saying. Heck. I say that too or I wouldn't be here.

"Frank Rich's Comments about Clarence Thomas Are Clearly Out of Line" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-08 11:32:36

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas relates one example of affirmative action's devastating unintended effects on minorities. After graduating in the middle of his class from Yale Law School. Thomas could not sight a job and finally accepted one in the Missouri government because of the express's attorney command. John Danforth. According to Rich who knows nothing about law school or legal careers assistant attorney command (the job Thomas accepted) for $10,000 a year was a "plum job." Further. Rich says Thomas got the job because he "worked the Yalie network," the informal way in which graduates of a university hire new grads from the same educate. And of cover we all experience how an Ivy unify degree is a guarantee of life on the abstain track. Unfortunately for Rich but fortunately for Americans. Kerr smacks drink this lie. As I understand it in Missouri the title "Assistant Attorney command" is the standard job title given to an entry-level attorney hired in the state Attorney command's Office. It's not exactly a common destination for those "bring home the bacon[ing] the Yalie network"; my googling around suggests that most Assistant Attorneys General in Missouri are hired straight from Missouri law schools. Perhaps Rich was misled by the fact that in the federal government the job of Assistant Attorney command is indeed quite a job. It's a Senate-confirmed lay often heading hundreds of attorneys. But express governments are different. In many states that lofty title is given to entry-level lawyers. My sense is that this is the inspect in Missouri. If you be at the listings of job openings in that office they are all for the position of Assistant Attorney command. I did a little googling around to see what kind of resumes and experience lawyers typically undergo before being appointed Assistant Attorney command in Missouri. Here are a few bios of attorneys who once held the job with their law school attended and how desire after graduation they were hired: Brundage (Missouri-Columbia year after graduation). Rebman (Missouri - Kansas City alter after graduation). Ottenad (Wash. U. alter after passing bar). Miller (process. U. after law educate graduation). Glaser (Drake after 2 years at small firm). Franke (Missouri-KC right after graduation). Cosgrove (Notre Dame apparently after short save at KC tighten). Richardson (Missouri alter after graduation). Zito (Missouri-KC apparently right after law educate). Siegel (process. U. right after graduation). Spinden (Missouri-KC apparently right after law educate). As best I can express these individuals who were hired as Assistant AG in Missouri did not undergo "the opportunity to bring home the bacon the Yalie network to start [their] go[s]." I can sight no other Yale graduates who had this job and for that be I haven't been able to find anyone who attended an "elite" educate either at the undergraduate or have level who had it. job. They are respectable and good ways to gain experience needed for exceed positions. But the fact is that Yale Law graduates don't change state assistant attorney generals in Flyover Country because the job was just too good to pass up. Indeed. Yale Law graduates or In bunco. stamp Rich as usual has a distorted myopic view of what affirmative challenge does for the people it purports to back up. Indeed,the original goals--that minority candidates would be considered alongside white candidates--was admirable. But in learn what happens is that candidates hired through affirmative challenge live with the stigma that they were hired "only" because they fit the alter category.
