For example, if you received a list of all the sandwich shops in your state, youre now informed, but you dont have any real knowledge of how to make a sandwich. However, if someone showed you how to create a great sandwich that tastes better than any other sandwich youve ever had, you now have something actionable. The person shared with you some knowledge based on his or her experience. You can go home and recreate that sandwich again. Thats knowledge.
The good news is that knowledge increases in value when its shared. Think about it have you ever learned from a co-worker? A customer? A stranger in the coffee shop? Of course you have. But you didnt learn by giving the other person basic information. More than likely, you were in a dialog. You shared your knowledge and they shared theirs. In the process, you both learned something new and valuable.
Think of it like this: Suppose youre in a large, dark room with hundreds of other people. Everyone in the room is holding an unlit candle, except for you -- you have the only lit candle. Your lone candle provides the only glimmer of light. What happens when you walk over to someone holding one of the unlit candles and light it with your flame? The room is brighter, yet you dont lose your initial flame. What happens when you use your flame to light another candle, and then another, and then another, and so on? Do you still have your original flame? Yes. Only now the room is more brightly lit because you shared your flame.
The same thing happens when you share knowledge. You still have your ideas, but by sharing them with someone else, you have the potential to improve those ideas well beyond what you previously thought possible. You make the ideas glow a little brighter. Thats why knowledge sharing is so powerful.
Knowing that knowledge sharing is valuable, it makes sense to capture and leverage knowledge in your organization. But how do you do that? Putting knowledge in a file cabinet or on a hard drive isnt enough. You need to have your companys knowledge on your network so it can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and via any device. People need to be able to not only view the knowledge, but also add to it and utilize it. Thats how knowledge evolves, stays relevant, and gets more valuable.
Additionally, realize that organizations today are facing a major knowledge drain crisis. Approximately 78 million Baby Boomers in the United States are headed for retirement. When they leave, theyre going to take all the knowledge and wisdom thats in their head with them. Unfortunately, no one can change the fact that so many people will be retiring. But you can decide whether the retirees in your company are going to take their knowledge with them or if youre going to capture it.
Knowing all this, it makes sense to develop knowledge sharing networks within your organization. The question is, how do you create one?
Harnessing the knowledge within your organization cant happen without the CIOs involvement. Why? Because one of the key tasks for the CIO and the IT department is to create new added value and competitive advantages for the organization. Thats precisely what a knowledge-sharing network delivers. The only way knowledge sharing can work organizationally is by putting it on a network.
In order to create a knowledge base containing the collective knowledge within the organization, you need networks that allow for instant access to the knowledge thats gathered. A working, dynamic, real-time knowledge base is more powerful than any database or information base.
For centuries, knowledge sharing has been done on a small scale without technology, such as when people hang out around the water cooler, have casual lunches together, or go to a meeting. Its during these times that people share lessons learned and best practices.
Unfortunately, such meetings are sporadic or only last a short time. Additionally, only a limited number of people receive the knowledge. And since its not captured, theres no way for people to continually access the knowledge that was shared. But the CIO can put the companys knowledge into a dynamic state by using simple networking technology. Capturing and leveraging intellectual assets is an area where the CIO can be highly strategic and can add value to the organization in ways no other executive can.
Knowing how vital your role as the CIO is to creating a knowledge base, its time to start getting people involved with the process. Again, your role is to drive the initiative and spearhead the process and technology. Others in your organization can set up a means to pull knowledge out of people.
Heres how:
Knowledge Pull - There was a movement in the 1990s to capture knowledge that resided inside organizations, but few had luck with it. Most of the knowledge they were sharing was really just information, and many companies made the sharing process too time consuming and complex. To make knowledge-sharing work, you need to engage in a process I call knowledge pull", where you pull the knowledge out of people.

About: St Thomas' Hospital (London) St Thomas' Hospital (London) London SE1 7EH
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
some of the staff are pleasant and caring
What could be improved
doctors and nurses attitude very non caring especially in oncology unit. Dealing with cancer patients i would have expected the highest standards but it fluctuates on which nurse or doctor. No consistency and lack of ownership.
Anything else?
my wifes a patient and was in severe pain for over a month but who ever she saw both nurse and doctor showed little care and sympathy. they also had a laid back approach. I was appauled at way she was treated she had to compalin to be treated.
Response from St Thomas' Hospital 8 years ago
We agree that nowhere is a consistently kind attitude from staff more important than in cancer care. Please accept our apologies that was not the case for your wife

Nancy Hawkins: 35 Years of Service to Louisiana Archaeology
After 35 years my friend and colleague, Nancy Hawkins is retiring at the end of this year from the Louisiana Division of Archaeology in Baton Rouge. Her final job responsibilities included Outreach, the Regional & Station Archaeology, Archaeology Month, Teacher Assistance and more. Nancy played a major role or was completely responsible for many of the highly successful projects carried out by the Division over the past three decades. These projects include The Indian Mounds of Northeast Louisiana Trail Guide, many of educational programs and publications by the Division, and most recently the successful nomination of the Poverty Point site as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And there is a bunch more.
I first met Nancy in the winter of 1995 when I applied for the position of Station Archaeologist at the Poverty Point site. I don't remember much of the interview process. I do remember riding with Nancy on the four-hour trip from Baton Rouge to Epps, Louisiana. I do remember how exciting I was to be considered for this position. I had visited Poverty Point four years before on a graduate student field trip, stood in the plaza and said "If I could get a job working here it would be like dying and going to heaven." I got the job in 1996.
From 1996 to 2003 I was the Station Archaeologist. Over that period, I learned much from Nancy that helped guide my career for the next twenty years. Those lessons were not always easy, but critical for any success I was able to have. Here is some of what I learned from Nancy:
- Appreciate the big picture. In Nancy's capacity of coordinating the entire Station and Regional Archaeology Program along with countless other activities and events, she always was as mindful of the whole as the individual parts. These lessons served me well in my later career when I juggled the interests of multiple individuals to build a central institutional mission.
- When I worked as the Station Archaeologist at Poverty Point, I absolutely loathed the Annual Reports we wrote that Nancy reviewed. I saw this task as the equivalent of writing a new PhD dissertation every year – and in many ways it was. But I joked with Nancy several years later when I was hired into a position where the organization had been on the decline for a several years, that annual reports and annual actions plans were the absolute key to keeping us on track to resurrect that institution. It was through Nancy's thoroughness in reviewing and administering these reports that I learned to show an accountability in what we were charged to carry out as public stewards of cultural heritage.
- I have came to appreciate a thoroughness in working with Nancy on multiple projects over the years. I readily admit that when I began my tenure at Poverty Point, I was very much like a kid in the candy store with possibilities. I could zip from one project to another, trying to juggle too many balls in the air. I recollect well my irritation when I would send a new project I was particularly pleased with for Nancy's review, and she might note that, yes it looked good, but the images could be more sharply focused, and the text could benefit from some reworking – and she was right. When I came to oversee the production of exhibits later as museum director or in applied student projects, I employed the same thoroughness and attention to detail – many times I suspect equally irritating the others, but providing them the same opportunity to learn.
- Nancy exhibited tremendous insights during her tenure the with the Division of Archaeology. Her vision for the Mounds Commission, the Louisiana Mounds Trail, and Poverty Point as a World Historic Site were absolutely instrumental to their becoming a reality. In that capacity Nancy demonstrated tremendous patience and commitment to seeing those projects through, despite the obstacles that regularly surfaced. This lesson has been absolutely key to my practice.
- Perhaps one of the greatest lessons I have learned from Nancy was watching her facilitate the many projects she successfully shepherded through during her tenure. Nancy masterfully could take just a little, find other resources and individuals with a common interest, get them working together, to produce a final product for which her name often appeared only as a footnote, but could clearly could not have occurred without her facilitation. Over the past 10 years, this lesson from Nancy proved a guiding focus of how I came to operate in a several capacities.
This list could go on. I enjoyed that Nancy could always ask tough questions, and still does for which I have no good answer – but force me to think. The one nagging question she repeated to me during a meeting just a couple of weeks ago – How are we able to evaluate the value of the public archaeology programs we create?
The State of Louisiana and public archaeology in general are much better today for the 35 years of service by Nancy Hawkins. I would be remiss if I did not note how she was always supported by and functioned as part of a team effort. Although there were certainly other capable folks both before and after my tenure in Louisiana Archaeology, what I consider my own personal Glory Days benefited not just from Nancy's work but also the vision of individuals such as Tom Eubanks, Duke Rivett, Rachel Watson and all of my colleagues in the Regional and Station Archaeology Program.
As I am now retired to New Orleans, and taking up the cause of Louisiana Archaeology again as I am able, I have commiserated with Nancy about the decimation of so much cultural heritage work that was built over the past decades. I believe the decimation is largely the result of misplaced priorities and the short-sighted vision of many elected officials. There is no reason to be optimistic about the immediate future for cultural heritage resources in Louisiana or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter. We will need to take the best of old models and adapt them to a new set of realities. Without question the work by Nancy Hawkins and her colleagues over the past 35 years laid a solid foundation on which that future can be built.
Public Accountability in Cultural Heritage Studies – Now More Than Ever.
Public or Applied Archaeology will play an increasingly important role in presenting and preserving cultural heritage of the United States in the coming period. As readers of this blog are aware, I advocate for demonstrating the public relevance of archaeology and museums. With a future certainty that discretionary spending will be increasingly cut, cultural heritage programs that best demonstrate their utility to the public, will stand the best chance of surviving.
Below are several links that show how this might work, first around the issue of metal detecting:
- Maureen Malloy, Manager of Public Education at the Society for American Archaeology is the lead author on a paper that evaluates the SAA role in advising on the National Geographic Channels Diggers program. The reality cable tv show featured avocational metal detectorists, often considered by professional archaeologists as a significant bane to their existence. Maureen presented the paper, Diggers Evaluating Diggers: A Collaboration between SAA and the National Geographic Channel, at last year's SAA Annual meeting in Orlando. In the paper, Maureen and her co-authors trace the evolution of Diggers, demonstrating the positive impact that professional archaeologists were able to bring to the show's content. The paper effectively argues for an engaged presence as a means to increase attention and action on the archaeological concerns in such programming.
- Matthew Reeves presented the SAA Webinar Working With Metal Detectorists: Citizen Science at Historic Montpelier and Engaging a New Constituency. Matt discusses the training program for the Montpelier detectorists and their work at the Montpelier site. The webinar is available for free to SAA members here. If you are not an SAA member but would like access to the webinar, drop me a note to see about making arrangements. Matt also recently published an article on the subject that provides considerable detail on the Montpelier project.
- The SAA For the Public webpages has a resource link dedicated to metal detecting and includes articles such as Reality Television and Metal Detecting: Let's Be Part of the Solution and Not Add to the Problem by Giovanna Peebles. The page contains nearly two dozen other links on metal detecting, public engagement, and related legal issues.
- I would be remiss if I did not note the BBC comedy The Detectorists that is available on Netflix.
A couple of other recent links relevant to public archaeology include:
- Elizabeth Reetz, chair of the SAA's Public Education Committee, recently posted a PowerPoint file Effectively Communicating Archaeology to the Public In Three Minutes or Less that contains information about advocacy work in archaeology. Of particular value, Elizabeth's presentation addresses a point raised in Maureen's SAA paper – how archaeologists and the public often talk on two different levels with two different sets of vocabularies and expectations. Elizabeth's presentation is a great way to kick off a discussion on launching an advocacy campaign. And speaking of advocacy, check the Resource Guide for the just published volume I edited with Beth Bollwerk, Positioning Your Museum as a Critical Community Asset. The Guide contains over 30 Advocacy links to better guide public engagement in cultural heritage work.
- Finally Doug's Archaeology recently posted a set of videos of papers on Community Archaeology from a recent conference of The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, the leading professional body representing archaeologists working in the UK. The papers address and evaluate a diversity of community-based cultural heritage projects.
What other resources will you use to demonstrate the relevance of your cultural heritage projects funded by the public we are meant to serve?
A Modest Proposal – Getting Outside the Bubble
I am not terribly interested in discussing how "they" got it wrong on the election predictions. I am very concerned about the potential reign of domestic terrorism the Trump victory is poised to unleash. Donald Trump's scapegoating, misogynist, and racist words and deeds incite others to act. In my lifetime, the likes of David Duke have never considered presidential results as a victory for "our people". To not remain vigilant and proactive to that reality is naive and irresponsible. These are not regional issues but involve the entire United States.
About half of the voters in the election cast their ballots for Trump. I was surprised, though I should not have been. I, like much of the U.S. population live isolated in my bubble where I can securely preach to the choir – this blog is perhaps an example. I can surround myself on Facebook with those who agree with me – in fact, I have intentionally unfriended some folks who posted what I considered unfounded conspiracy theories from the right. I am certain they were equally bored with my statements from the left.
A Modest Proposal
When I retired this past September at the age of 64, I made a decision to write one thank you note per day to a colleague or friend I had worked with in my career. I did not distinguish between those with whom I agreed or disagreed – only those with whom I had a professional relationship. Thus far I have written and mailed (hard copy not e-mail) over 80 notes. The process has become an integral part of my morning. I write my daily thank you note before I check email, drink a cup of coffee, or eat breakfast. Perhaps 20% of the folks I have written to have responded in some way. The responses have always led to an increased understanding of each other.
I intend to continue the daily note writing process, indefinitely. However, I will expand the list to include writing to those persons I suspect, or know disagree with me politically, and likely voted for Trump. The list will include friends, relatives, public officials, and those folks I unfriended on Facebook. I will ask that they join with me to assure that Trump's rhetoric and direct calls to actions of violence and exclusion will not be tolerated. I will be prepared to engage in meaningful discussion about their visions for the next period in our country. I refuse to sit idly by and watch the logical conclusion of Trump's hate speech unfold.
In 2008, like every year before, after the populace elected the first African-American President, there was no call to action until the time to re-elect him in 2012. Everyone could go back to their bubbles and preach to their choirs. I am convinced that we must break free of our bubbles of agreement and be accountable. I am also convinced that many of my friends and relatives who voted for Trump, while holding some values I do not share, are not advocates for acting on the misogynist and racist views he espouses.
I am a straight white male in my 60s. I can take the bumper stickers off my car, keep my mouth shut and blend in. The black youth walking down the street who are justifiably fearful of every police stop, cannot do the same. The Muslim men and women worshiping in their mosques, cannot do the same. My Hispanic friends and colleagues, cannot do the same. It is time for me and all others who share my privilege of birth to come out of our bubbles and be accountable. Remembering . . .
When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. – Martin Niemoeller, 1946
Join me in taking whatever steps are necessary to challenge the violence and harassment faced by those living in the U.S. who do not share a position of racial, gender, or economic privilege. This means engaging beyond our comfort level with those whom we disagree. This does not mean engaging in discussions with the David Duke's of the world. This does mean engaging with those who can be proactive allies standing up and saying "No More!" to actions based in violence against others. This does mean getting out of our bubbles and being in community with those with whom we may not agree on all things, but who can serve as voices of reason, regardless of political affiliation. The challenge is not for today, or tomorrow, but for the next four years, and beyond. A simple note can be a starting point to make a difference.
Bob Dylan Wins Nobel Prize
So Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize to which he says . . . well he was doing a concert in Las Vegas last night and has yet to comment. You can read the tweets from all the elated and aghast literati, most of whom I have never heard of, never read anything by, which I guess says a lot about my qualifications to weigh in on the Nobel Prize for Literature . . . but damn, this just could not be any better.
I have seen Dylan in concert a few times. I have never gotten the folks who do this autobio interpretive stuff on Dylan . . . like the commentator on the Yupyup podcast I used to listen to who went on about how the Tempest album chronicled the latest in Dylan's failed relationships with women, or folks who railed against his Shadows in the Night album – but I heard him sing Autumn Leaves live and it blew me away.
One of the times I saw him was at the 2003 Jubilee Jam festival in Jackson Mississippi. It was an open stage and I got there about one hour before Dylan was set to go on to get a good spot front and center. I am not a crowd person. So a couple of minutes before show time and the folks are doing sound checks and things, and the crowd behind me is pushing forward and I am getting claustrophobic, but Dylan finally comes out and leads off with Maggie's Farm and damn that was good. And there are all of these 20-somethings with their cell phones recording stuff and yelling . . . I got a bit stressed, finished listening to the song, and then elbowed my way to the back of the crowd for the rest of the set.
But here is really the most exciting part of that concert. Charles Evers, brother of slain Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers was at Jubilee Jam. Dylan's song Only a Pawn in Their Game is about the assassination of Medgar Evers. Donna Ladd, editor of the Jackson Free Press, tried to orchestrate a meeting with Dylan, that seemed like it was not going to happen, but then as Donna Ladd tells the story . . .
When they let us through the fence, the scene suddenly became quiet and reverent with everyone seemingly scared to blink. I stopped next to Malcolm and Holly. Then Bob Dylan appeared wearing his white cowboy hat. He warmly grasped Mr. Evers' hand and held it for a good five minutes while they talked eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart, man-to-man. They both nodded a lot and seemed emotional. I didn't try to get closer. This was between two giants of the Civil Rights Movement, and the man they—we—had lost to hatred. I blinked back tears.
Suddenly, Mr. Evers turned around and took my arm, pulling me forward. Mr. Dylan slowly turned his gaze to my face and reached for my hand. I shook it, just looking into his eyes, as Mr. Evers told him who I was, that I had a newspaper and that we're trying to bridge racial gaps and do good things in Jackson. My heart was in my toes. "I'm honored to meet you" is all I said.
Now that is a magical moment!
At any rate, for everyone who is just so bummed that Dylan got the Nobel for literature, there is Mr. Tambourine Man to show why. When I was a Freshman at Purcell High School, Brother Glassmayer (a Marianist dude, it was a Catholic school) proclaimed during homeroom when listening to the line "smoke rings of my mind" proclaiming "yes it is about marijuana" with all the conviction his authority as a homeroom teacher could muster.
This, dare I say poem, has the lines:
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Which I rank right up there with W.S. Merwin's The Wave or Ferlinghetti's Moscow in the Wilderness, Segovia in the Snow (which I have as a signed broadside no less) . . . but they haven't won a Nobel Prize for Lit either.
Which reminds me, I started out as an English Lit major, so maybe I do have some creds there – but I could only muster an 0.7 GPA back then, so maybe not.
I heard Judy Collins talk about how she was at a house in New York when she heard Dylan singing from a closed bedroom early in the morning, and she sat outside the door and listened to him compose Mr. Tambourine Man. Now that would have been a blast.
So, don't hum Mr. Tambourine Man or think of Dylan or the Byrds singing the song, but just read this or speak these words below . . . it works for me . . .
Mr. Tambourine Man
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasing
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
The End of College – It Gets Better!
Debbie Morrison's review of the End Of College by Kevin Carey convinced me to read the book. I am glad I did. Carey's basic thesis is that traditional higher education, particularly for undergraduates, is not working well today and is in need of restructuring. Carey uses the MITx MOOC Introduction to Biology: The Secret of Life taught by Professor Eric Lander as a framework to explore and pose solutions on what that restructured undergraduate model might look like.
Critique of Critiques
As Debbie notes in her review, much of the criticism of The End of College misses the point of the book. I wholeheartedly agree. For example, when I first read John Seery's review in the Huffington Post I wondered if I should read the book. However, reading The End of College revealed Seery's review to be more of a defense of his past, present, and future vision at Pomona College where he has taught for the past 25 years. In fact, I had some question if we even read the same book, waiting for the evidence of the damning indictments Seery made of Carey's book. Seery concludes his review with "The End of College is an embarrassment. And it's not because Kevin Carey lacks a PhD" I find Seery's review an embarrassment that he can find no value or validity in Carey's critique of undergraduate education.
Though less inflammatory than Seery, the review of the book by Audrey Watters and Sarah Boldrick-Rab in Inside Higher Education similarly does not acknowledge any problem in higher education or propose an alternative to Carey's analysis. The general tone of the noted reviews reminds me of folks like Arthur Keen in his Cult of the Amateur or the more simplistic "the sky is falling" arguments against MOOCs of a few years ago. The reviewers do a disservice to their own arguments by presenting critiques at odds with the facts.
What is the book about?
Debbie's review does a great job in reviewing the content of the End of College. Carey contextualizes his proposals within the historic development of higher education and hybrid (joint research and undergraduate) institutions. Of particular value is the discussion of engaging more digital technology in restructuring undergraduate curricula.
The Illusion of MOOC's Declining Numbers
The above critiques and those noted in Debbie's review point to the alleged failure of MOOCs as an educational tool. As Seery notes in his review "The MOOC run-up has already run its course."
- Yet in the most recent issue of LAS News (Fall 2016) I received in the mail this week from my alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), I read "Illinois Education is becoming more accessible thanks to new offerings via massively open online courses . . . These include the Department of Statistics, a partner in Illinois' new Masters of Computer Science in Data Science degree offered through online education company Coursera. And Cary Nelson, Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences and emeritus professor of English is teaching the campus' first lecture-based MOOC in American Poetry on Coursera."
- A review of the coursera.org catalog shows that at UIUC alone over 50 instructors ( from Lecturers to Full Professors) are offering 70 MOOC courses in 2016 Fall semester.
- The MOOC aggregator Class Central notes that the "total number of students who signed up for at least one MOOC course has crossed 35 million—up from an estimated 16-18 million last year."
A review of available resources demonstrates that MOOCs have in fact not already run their course. Seemingly, major universities throughout the world are jumping more on the MOOC bandwagon as Carey notes.
The Illusion of MOOCs as a Failure
Critics allege MOOCs are failures for a host of reasons.
- The completion rate for most courses is reasonably low – I am not certain how completion rate equates to success or failure. I have started perhaps 20 MOOCs over the past few years and completed 25% of them. (I have a much smaller completion rate for films I start to watch on Netflix, but the streaming video business seems to be thriving.) Have MOOCs failed me or vice versa? I think not. When filling in a MOOC course registration survey, one is typically asked if they plan to complete the readings, quizzes and so forth. As a well-trained student and believer that I must finish whatever I start, in the past I always checked the 'plan to complete everything' box and was disappointed if I didn't. Then I had an interesting experience about one year ago. I registered for a course only because I wanted to listen to the lectures from one week of the six-week course – I had no intention of finishing the course, or completing any of the assignments. I am more mindful when completing these surveys today. Now I view registering for MOOCs similar to checking out a book in the bookstore. Most books that I pick up, I don't end up buying or reading. I review the table of contents, read the Intro (often on-line) and then I will commit or not to the entire book. As Carey (p.154) notes, if only 2% of the world took one MOOC course annually at $74.00 that small enrollment will create 10 billion dollars in revenue.
- Critics argue that the primary users of MOOCs are male with advanced degrees – or perhaps that is the demographic filling out the evaluation surveys on same since the data are largely based on enrollee responses to surveys – that might be an interesting study in itself. Yet the table below (Table 2 of linked article) suggests that the greatest number of folks completing the courses are actually high school students! Debbie Morrison posted a while ago an interesting piece on the role MOOCs can play in high school student decision-making on future careers.

MOOCs as a Supplement to Higher Education Offerings
A few years ago I posted a blog about the writing deficiency of many of my graduate student advisees. I found that MOOC and other free-on line offerings of value to my students to obtain training in writing and other areas not available in their degree programs.
For example, a student with a career focus in cultural heritage administration was able to supplement her regular course-work with Build Essential Skills for the Workplace a ten-course specialization from Coursera.org taught by faculty from the University of California at Irvine. The cost for the approximately 60 hours of course instruction and capstone project was $323.00 with credentials (or at no cost to audit). Of importance, when I asked the student after completing the specialization "Was it worth it? Did you get anything out of it you could not have gotten from your degree coursework?" they responded with an emphatic yes.
This semester a student dramatically improved their weak writing skills through a free English composition course I recommended at saylor.org.
In both of the above examples, the MOOCs provided offerings that were not available in the students formal coursework, they found the MOOCs of value, and they demonstrated increased skills as a result of the MOOC. How is this not a good thing?
Takeaways from the End of College
Kevin Carey's book, in a reasoned, linear, and well-organized approach and addresses several of the challenges facing higher education today. Contrary to what his more adamant critics allege, I don't think Carey believes he has received a mountain top divine revelation on this subject. Rather, he provides a sober assessment, contextualized within an historic perspective, of the state of undergraduate education today. MOOCs may very well be the Friendster of higher education replaced in the near future by a more effective tool. I don't think Mr. Carey will take issue with that point either. However what Carey clearly lays out, and I completely concur, is that undergraduate education does not work well today. Although some academicians present reasoned discussion on this issue, such as Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan College in his review of Carey's book, there appears an overall polarization on MOOCs, like much else in the US today.
I often remark that if academicians think that they can just hold their collective breath and wait for things to go back to the "good old days" of funding, they will all die of asphyxiation and higher education as we know it will go the way of Kodak and daily newspapers. Discussions of the real problems and viable solutions need to be put forward, particularly for undergraduate education. It is just plain silly to rant about the low completion rates for MOOCs yet not address the similar decline in completion rates for Undergraduate degrees at bricks and mortar institutions.
I leave with:
Coursera currently hosts 1259 free courses on an incredible diversity of subjects taught by faculty at accredited university's across the globe. How is that not a good thing?
In my former academic department, the required graduate seminar on Research Design is taught once every two years. Students often need portions of the coursework sooner to conduct their graduate research projects. Coursera offers a Questionnaire Design for Social Surveys course by Frederick Conrad, Ph.D., Research Professor, Survey Methodology at the University of Michigan. Students can audit the course for free or register for $69.00. Or they can register for the entire seven-course Survey Data Collection and Analytics Specialization, audit for free or register for 423.00. How is having this option available as a supplement to their formal coursework not a good thing?
Finally, how does this relate to Archaeology, Museums, and Outreach? Stay tuned.
A Thanks to All As I Start a New Adventure
This past Thursday I finished cleaning out my office, had my official retirement party, turned in my keys to the Museum, left Memphis and arrived six hours later at our new home in New Orleans – after nine years as the Director of the C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa and an Associate Professor in the Departments of Anthropology and Earth Sciences at the University of Memphis. I have blogged before about the new opportunities I have in my "retirement" years.
The retirement event this past Thursday was chaired by Mr. Robert Gurley, the former President of the Westwood Neighborhood Association. In his opening comments, Mr. Gurley reviewed the Museum's relationship with the community over the past 9 years as we moved to become a true social asset. I have blogged about this issue a lot over the years. Reverend George Royal presented me with a plaque that recognized that relationship.
Ron Brister talked about Chucalissa's direction over the past decade and was extremely gracious regarding my role in that process. I was surprised and very pleased that Ron presented me with a sediment peel of a postmold from Chucalissa's excavation trench. The sediment peels exhibited in the new Brister Archaeology Discovery Lab (BAD Lab) were Ron's idea and are a highlight for visitors since the renovated lab opened this past spring.
The staff of Chucalissa presented me with a set of excavation trench photos taken by Katie Maish. Full-sized version of those images are also on display in the BAD Lab. The total lab project was the result of the skills and commitments of individuals from several organizations.
I knew that my friend, colleague and former student, Elizabeth Cruzado Carranza could not attend the event because of her PhD program classes at LSU in Baton Rouge. But I was very surprised when the announced "special presentation" (takes a minute to load so be patient) was a video that highlights our collaborative work in Peru.
My colleague Andrew Mickelson spoke about our relationship with roots going back to archaeological careers in Ohio. Andrew noted the question I was asked by Dr. Barry Isaac at my M.A. Thesis defense a bunch of years ago, that I continue to ask students today – "Why is your research more important than eating a plate of worms?" In recognition, Andrew presented me with his drawing of a plate of worms.
Ruthbeth Finerman and representatives of the Friends of T.O. Fuller State Park also made presentations.
In my comments, I noted that the past nine years were the most meaningful and enjoyable of my entire career – without question. I owed that in large part to the support the Museum received and continues to receive from its governing authority, the University of Memphis. As well, our current staff, lead maintenance mechanic John Chando (2010 University of Memphis Employee of the Year); Emily Neal, Administrative Assistant; Melissa Buchner Administrative Associate; and Ron Brister, Collections Manager are each absolutely integral to any success achieved at the C.H. Nash Museum.
I then turned to the aspect of my employment that I found the most meaningful and fulfilling over the years. During my first archaeological field school in 1986, the late Dr. Patricia Essenpreis told the assembled students something very close to "If you cannot explain to the taxpayer why they should support these excavations and this museum then you might as well go home." That mandate remained firmly planted in my brain ever since. In the past decade at Chucalissa, I was able to act on that mandate – in two primary areas.
First, I had the opportunity to mentor students who came through our museum as both graduate assistants and interns. They are truly the backbone of our operation. As I often note to visitors "If you see anything here that is shiny and new, chances are a graduate assistant, intern, or volunteer created the product." In fact, the vast majority of exhibit upgrades and new programs over the past decade were created by Chucalissa Graduate Assistants, Museum Studies students and interns, or our AmeriCorps NCCC Teams.
Second, in our community outreach work over the past nine years, we were best able to respond to Pat's mandate. In my comments on Thursday, I offered my thanks to all attendees from the neighborhood who trusted in our Museum to truly co-create with the community in addressing their expressed needs, and not what we thought their needs should be. Co-creation and community relevance were the most consistent themes of this blog over the years. I cannot find adequate words to express my gratitude to the citizens and civic leaders of Southwest Memphis for providing these lessons to all who have been a part of this process. The best I can do is to carry what I have learned from this relationship into my future projects both in the U.S. and abroad.
Career success is often gauged by articles published, accolades obtained, professional positions held, and other forms of recognition. I have been blessed with all of those markers in abundance over the last nine years. Success is also gauged by considering if one leaves the place in a better condition than when they came. Here, I would like to reverse that equation. Although I believe that I have left the place in a better condition than when I came, I owe that better condition to the education and lessons I received from my students and the community that our museum serves. Simply, because of the lessons I learned from the Westwood community, students, and staff, I believe that I too am leaving in a better condition than when I arrived in 2007. The reciprocal nature of relationships at Chucalissa has been a very memorable part of my tenure. Thanks to all for providing and sharing this wonderful gift.

Charlene Fernandez represents District 4 in the Arizona State House, which includes 4 counties and numerous cities. She serves on the Appropriations and Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
Charlene Fernandez was born and raised on the north end of Yuma.
Charlene attended public schools, the very schools that she has become a tireless advocate for. Her teachers became the mentors that she still looks up to today. Former Minority Leader Robert "Bob" McClendon not only taught her social studies but the importance of public policy and the affect it has on every child in Arizona.
Upon graduating, Charlene took classes at Arizona Western College eventually graduating from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Education.
During this time, Charlene married Sergio and raised a family of three, Brian, Carlye, and Lisa. She and her husband sent their children to many of the same schools that she had attended. All three of them graduated from Arizona Universities.
Instead of leading a classroom, she went to work for Congressman Ed Pastor, representing him and coordinating his constituent services for the western portion of then Congressional District 2. In her time with Mr. Pastor, Charlene opened up the first congressional office ever in Yuma and helped bring a Veteran's Administration clinic to the county.
After Mr. Pastor's district was redrawn to exclude Yuma, Charlene went to work for Governor Janet Napolitano representing the her area at the Department of Environmental Quality. Working to ensure growth in Yuma County, she assisted farmers and developers in their dealings with the state agency.
Charlene continued her pursuit of public service. She was elected to a seat on the Yuma Union High School District, serving for a time as President of the Board. In this capacity she helped spearhead cost savings in the schools, such as finding a more cost effective way of transporting students to school, delivering lunch to students, and pushed the district to modernize. Because students in the district had outdated books which were too expensive to continue purchasing, she helped usher in a new era of students receiving a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) which delivered the latest information at a very low price.

Azad to be hanged for war crimes
The ICT-2 pronounced its maiden verdict on a crimes against humanity case on Monday awarding death sentence to fugitive and expelled Jamaat member Abul Kalam Azad, also known as Bachchu *******.
The nation had to wait for 41 years for this day.
The International Crimes Tribunal-2, set up to try those accused of committing crimes against humanity during the country's Liberation War in 1971 passed the verdict amid tight security.
ICT-2 Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan earlier read the summary of the 112-page verdict.
The ICT-2 delivered the verdict at the room of International Crimes Tribunal-1 today following space crisis due to huge presence of people particularly journalists and lawyers at the court room.
Azad, the former leader of Islami Chhatra Sangha, the then student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, went into hiding around seven hours before ICT-2 issued an arrest warrant against him on April 3, last year. He used to present a television show on Islamic issues.
Earlier on November 4, Azad was indicted with eight charges of crimes against humanity, based on eight incidents that left at least 12 unarmed people dead and two women raped in Faridpur during the country's Liberation War.
Azad was active in Jamaat-e-Islami but was later expelled from the political party, according to an investigation agency.
On December 26, 2012, the three-member Tribunal-2 led by Justice Obaidul Hassan with members Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Judge M Shahinur Islam kept Azad's case waiting for verdict after the conclusion of closing arguments.
Wrapping up the arguments between December 23 and 26, 2012, the prosecution appealed for capital punishment for Azad, while the state-appointed defence counsel sought his exemption from the eight charges.
On March 25, 2012, three days after the Tribunal-2 was formed, the prosecution submitted a petition for issuing arrest warrant against Azad, also a close associate of another war-crimes accused Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed.
It asked for the warrant as an investigation was going on against him in connection with crimes against humanity.
On April 3, 2012, the tribunal issued the warrant but Azad had made a run for it.
On July 26, 2012, the investigation agency, formed to deal with war crimes probes, completed its enquiry on Azad and handed over the report to the prosecution on July 29, 2012.
On September 2, 2012, the prosecution submitted the formal charges against Azad, accusing him of 10 types of crimes against humanity.
On September 9, 2012, the tribunal took the charges into cognisance.
On October 7, 2012, the tribunal decided to hold Azad's trial in his absence as even after publication of newspaper ads asking him to appear before the tribunal he failed to show up.
The tribunal appointed Supreme Court lawyer Abdus Sukur Khan as the defence lawyer for Azad.
On November 4, 2012, the tribunal indicted Azad.
Since November 26, a total 22 prosecution witnesses, including alleged victims and family members of victims, and the investigation officer of the case, have testified.
The state-appointed defence counsel failed to produce any witnesses due to "non-cooperation" of Azad's family members.
Prosecution and defence placed their closing arguments on December 23, 24 and 26.
Meanwhile, the case against Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah, pending with the same court, was also kept waiting for verdict delivery.

Imagine an everyday world in which the price of gasoline (and oil) continues to go up, and up, and up. Think about the immediate impact that would have on our lives.
Of course, everybody already knows how about gasoline has affected our driving habits. People can't wait to junk their gas-guzzling SUVs for a new Prius. But there are more, not-so-obvious changes on the horizon that Chris Steiner tracks brilliantly in this provocative work.
Consider the following societal changes: people who own homes in far-off suburbs will soon realize that there's no longer any market for their houses (reason: nobody wants to live too far away because it's too expensive to commute to work). Telecommuting will begin to expand rapidly. Trains will become the mode of national transportation (as it used to be) as the price of flying becomes prohibitive. Families will begin to migrate southward as the price of heating northern homes in the winter is too pricey. Cheap everyday items that are comprised of plastic will go away because of the rising price to produce them (plastic is derived from oil). And this is just the beginning of a huge and overwhelming domino effect that our way of life will undergo in the years to come.
Steiner, an engineer by training before turning to journalism, sees how this simple but constant rise in oil and gas prices will totally re-structure our lifestyle. But what may be surprising to readers is that all of these changes may not be negative - but actually will usher in some new and very promising aspects of our society.
Steiner will probe how the liberation of technology and innovation, triggered by climbing gas prices, will change our lives. The book may start as an alarmist's exercise.... but don't be misled. The future will be exhilarating.
Steiner makes provocative—and ultimately optimistic—predictions about how the rising price of gas will revolutionize our world. He projects how human behavior will accommodate incremental $2 gas price hikes from $6 to $20 and anticipates the radical changes we will make in our consumption and travel habits. John Wolfe delivers a competent reading, imparting a wealth of data with a steady emphasis, timing and projection that inflect the major points of a text well enough for listeners to distinguish what is relevant.

Mama June and Sugar Bear of TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo have reportedly called it quits.
"Sugar Bear [Mike Thompson] and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship," Mama June, whose real name is June Shannon, told People exclusively in a statement.
"We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens, the girls will always be our number one priority. We want to thank y'all for your support."
June's and Mike's relationship has been documented on their hit reality show, and in May the couple exchanged vows in front of their children and family in an intimate commitment ceremony.
They never actually married due to June's issues with marriage.
Things seemed to be going well for the couple until recently when June found out that Mike had secret online dating profiles. One of those profiles was found on Plentyoffish.com.
Mike supposedly goes by Georgiafighter31054, and his profile reads, "I love to hunt fish and ride 4wheelers and have a good time. I love muddy Boggs and love to ride in the mud."
It's splitsville for Mama June and Sugar Bear http://t.co/NoSYvZJsUK pic.twitter.com/wfwiu7be4j
— People magazine (@peoplemag) September 19, 2014
June has made it clear that she would never settle for a man who didn't treat her right, and has stopped wearing her wedding rings since she found the profiles.
"Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," June said at the time of their ceremony. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

20-year-old New Zealander, Joshua Simon Ashby has been sentenced to four months in the slammer for distributing indecent material after pleading guilty, Friday, to charges that he'd posted a naked picture of his ex-girlfriend online for all her frenemies to see in an act of drunken Facebooking.
The NY Daily News reported: The act of online revenge was one of several charges to which the young man pled guilty. He was also accused of threatening to kill, willful damage, theft and assault.
The case marks the first time a Facebooker will serve a prison sentence for posting naked pictures of his ex on the social networking site. (If anything, it's kind of surprising it doesn't happen more often.)
Sources say Ashby, who know his ex-lover's password (a mark of true intimacy, no doubt) posted the photo to her Facebook page, altered the privacy settings so anyone could see it, then changed the password so the unnamed woman couldn't remove it.
Ashby had also sent text messages to his lover stating, "I'm going to kill you," burnt two of her dresses, pushed her on the ground, and destroyed her cellphone. But the question remains as to whether Ashby would even have been caught had he not resorted to whoring both her and himself out with his peculiar, if not savage, type of next generation of 2.0 harassment. Still, what is this attraction for criminals these days which leads them to continually use social networking to lead to their own capture? Does not web 2.0 and social media lead to heretofore unparalleled levels of self-destruction?

There are pros and cons to both and much of the benefits to savings depends upon your individual air conditioning needs.
First, of all window units are air conditioners that simply sit in your window and are usually held up on a piece of wood that jut out from one of your windows. Then they plug into any standard electrical outlet in your home. There are several different models of these and you can purchase them with many different features.These are ideal for small rooms and they really put out the air and will cool your room off quickly. However, the downfall to these is that they are rather noisy and they don't keep your house at a constant temperature as does central air conditioning.Next, central air conditioning is run throughout your whole house and controlled by a central thermostat. One control will keep you whole house at the perfect temperature. It's not noisy at all and keeps your house nice and cool twenty-four hours a day. However, you will experience a higher electricity bill with central air. The cheapest bill I have ever achieved with central air conditioning was forty and fifty dollars a month, which is only at the least ten dollars more than a window air conditioning unit, but multiply ten dollars by twelve months and you're paying an extra one hundred twenty dollars a month for central air conditioning. However, it is much more convenient and many people prefer it to window units. It keeps your temperature much cooler and many think it is well worth the extra cost.

Frozen pipe breaks, floods new gym at Edna Drinkwater schoolKitchen also water-damaged
Northport — Northport school officials are working with the district's insurance company to replace the gym floor after a frozen pipe flooded the space.
Superintendent Judy Lucarelli said in an email that a pipe above the kitchen froze and then burst over the weekend in mid-December, flooding the kitchen and gym. As a result of the flooding, the gym floor needs to replaced.
No kitchen equipment was damaged in the flooding, Lucarelli said.
The pipe that froze runs to a new outdoor faucet and is located in an unheated space above the kitchen.
That replacement work is expected to be completed by the end of March, the superintendent said, and the school's insurance should cover the cost of repairs. The water did not affect a music room that abuts the gym.
The mishap comes on the heels of an open house where community members were invited to tour the gym, which was newly renovated, along with additional classroom space.
Because the gym is not usable until the floor is replaced, students are eating lunch in their classrooms and physical education is taking place in the eighth grade classroom.
Board members are scheduled to discuss replacing the floor during their monthly meeting Jan. 10.

Linda, I just wanted to thank you for the great weekend at the workshop. I got so much out of the insights you shared. It was much easier to write & realize what has been hurting me than I thought. I am able to forgive & move on to the next chapter in my life. Dolores & I got so much from you. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has hurt & anger keeping them from moving forward. Again, thank You so much. Sincerely Mike & Dolores
The Healing the Hurts that are Holding You Back Workshop is not just for women
Here is what EVAN has to say~
I wanted to let you know that God made some amazing changes in my life this weekend at the Healing the Hurts Workshop. I honestly believe that He healed me of my self-hatred and has given me a clear picture of how to find the support I need to complete the work that He started in me
I have disqualified myself from so many opportunities that God has been building me up and preparing me for over the years. I can see now that God has taken me from a timid, depressed, self-conscious teen to a capable, adult that has been placed in a position of influence in many young people's lives. I am so glad that I can now move forward into the new things that God has with a view of myself that is closer to His view of me.
I honestly have not felt this alive since very early on in my walk of faith that started almost 12 years ago. I am greatly appreciative, and I know how hard it is for men to consider these types of things as being worth the time. I want to do on record encouraging guys to attend. Keep changing the culture, Linda and Bruce.

text: I purchased my Sprint Hero on January 23 and also purchased a ZAGG screen protector, both from Best Buy. The best buy rep installed the screen protector so I had not used my hero without it. With the screen protector, everything worked but seemed a little "tacky" when sliding my finger across it as well as always having smudges. I finally decided just the other day to remove the screen protector after watching some scratch resistant video's on youtube. WOW! Now the screen is so much clearer and when I slide my finger across it, it feels like silk. Even texting is much better. And as far as smudges, the screen is very smudge/fingerprint resistant and easily wipes clean with a soft cloth. So, if you have a screen protector, just wanted to let you know that the hero IMO, is much brighter and easier to use without it. I don't plan to use another one. From what I've seen, the screen is very durable and scratch resistant.

Now You Turn on
'Constantine's vocals are intimate and soaring, reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Elbow. Seattle band Safer's debut is a dynamic set of haunting, hook-filled indie rock.' - KEXP DJ Michele Myers Following Safer's radio debut on local Seattle indie radio station KEXP, Constantine and Ruggles began to build the project into a live band. Bassist Mike Lorenzi, a long time friend of Ruggles, seemed an easy fit for bass. And after a year of line-up change, Safer added former Optimus Rhyme drummer Tim Carter to the roster in early 2008. Wasting no time, Safer immediately went into the studio following a few small shows. The result, a blistering set of seven songs showcasing vocals, driving drum and bass, and intricate guitar riffs. "Now You Turn On" seems to scream out in an attempt to shake us awake with an almost frantic urgency. Safer is currently booking Northwest and West coast U.S. tours in support of Now You Turn On".
