| Will vista be phased out after 10/22 This might be a stupid question, but will MS stop selling vista after 10/22? I understand they kept XP for sale because many people didn't like Vista or didn't have the hardware. Vista probably was better than XP IF you had powerful hardware, but legacy hardware ans software required XP incl. netbooks. But Windows 7 is better in every aspect including hardware resources. Who would buy a new OS or PC with vista when Windows 7 is available at a comparable price? so will they just kill it on 10/22? I can imagine the PC s at best buy and the Windows 7 PCs just fly out the door and the vista ones collect dust (but you have to consider stupid consumers who don't know). I know, they come with Windows 7 upgrade coupon, but which best buy costumer is able to upgrade? If they were computer-able they wouldn't be shopping there to begin with. I found the W7 life cycle and surprisingly it says that it will be supported till 2020 (yes, all versions, not only the business versions). Vista only had that long support for business versions. Private version support including Ultimate ended after 5 years. I guess it sucks for people who bought vista... It's like MS knew no one really wants vista anyway |

| I suspect that Vista will be quietly allowed to tail off. Windows 7 is, in some respects, "Vista done right", as I read in an article. Microsoft probably could have sold it as "Vista SP2", except that Vista has not got a really good reputation. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of systems touted as having Vista on them after the first of next year. |

| All OSes will eventually be phased out when it comes to the end of their support lifecycle. This is determined by Microsoft. Even so, there are still some die-hards out there who still use W95! Vista has already been out for 2 1/2 years, and is in SP2. XP, its predecessor, is now in SP3. Windows 7 is just around the corner, and Windows 8 is reputed to be under development. It simply costs too much to provide support for very old OSes, besides which they have difficulty running on modern hardware due to the lack of driver support. |

| Well, the mainstream support for vista ends in 2012. but that doesn't mean you still can buy the OS till then. I think they will keep Vista around for businesses that want all their new PCs have the same OS and then at some time forklift all PCs to a new OS. but for the regular OEM and users they probably will stop selling it as soon as Windows 7 becomes a success. I guess the market will phase it out on its own. the better is the enemy of the good. I'm waiting to get Windows 7 at work. We have XP and not having a pinnable taskbar sucks :-) I'm afraid in 1 year they will switch us to Vista at work... I hope not. but next year they will switch us to Office 2007. Hello, why spend the same money on Office 2007 when you get Office 2010? Especially since everyone gets expensive mandatory training? So I really hope Vista will be killed just to prevent out IT department from ever buying it. |

After an addition, I have to draw almost 2.5 gallons of hot water to get decent temp at kitchen sink. I see where some folks put a small 2.5 gal 120 v heater in what appears to be "in series" on the hot water line. Am I right to understand that I would maybe get 1.5 gal of hot water, then perhaps 10 gallons of warm water (as it mixes) then eventually (maybe) get hot water again?
I have a 3/4" supplying my dishwasher and kitchen sink (the sink alone is 2.5 gpm). We have 65 lb pressure at faucet, and the lowest temp is 55 degrees (since it is only the crawlspace temp, not the cold tap from county).
I want to be careful to not drop the flow or pressure across whatever solution I use. I need at least 30 degree rise (even if the water is 80 degrees after the dishwasher fills, the water cools down some before the rinse cycles begin).
Any idea about sizing for an intant-hot heater? I have seen decent reviews about the Rheem units, and the Park Services uses these around here.
If you went with say a 5-gallon unit, you'd probably never see the cold sandwich. But, if you go with a hot water recirculation system, you shouldn't, either. This can end up being much more convenient in the long run, and depending on how you set it up, provide hot water nearly everywhere nearly instantly so you don't waste it when waiting for a shower or filling a tub. Lots of brands out there. There are retrofit units that do not need a return line, but if you can add a return line, you minimize the (usually minor) complaints a retrofit system introduces. You can set the recirc system up as a demand one that only comes on when you ask it to, or put it on a timer, or let it run continuously. If you have access, you could add a dedicated return line, at least for the kitchen sink.

BR-1600CD: Digital Recorder
BOSS's BR-1600CD 16-track recorder, the most popular and full-featured portable 16-track on the market, expands with a Version 2 upgrade. Already powerful with its eight XLR inputs for simultaneous recording, pro-grade effects, and backing tracks, the BR-1600CD with Version 2 upgrade (free for all previous BR-1600 units) improves and adds to the existing effects, including COSM® bass amp models from the GT-6B, enhanced vocal tools, MIDI sync capability, and more. Also new to Version 2 — the BR-1600CD can read BR-1200CD/1180CD song data, no conversion process necessary.
- 16-track (256 V-Track) digital studio with 80GB hard drive and CD-R/RW drive
- Record all 8 XLR inputs simultaneously—ideal for tracking live performances
- Powerful onboard effects including COSM modeling for guitar, bass and vocals
- New Vocal Tool Box with auto pitch correction and Harmony Sequence function
- 16 individual Track EQs, plus 8 dedicated compressors
- Mastering Tool Kit with multi-band compression for loud and punchy CDs
- Create backing tracks quickly via independent Drum/Bass and Loop Phrase tracks
- USB port for easy data exchange, plus V-LINK video control*
- COSM models added (derived from BOSS's GT-6B)
- Enhanced Vocal Tool Box for better vocals and backings
- MIDI Slave capable for control from external MIDI devices
- BR-1180CD/1200CD data compatible
*V-LINK requires Edirol DV7-PR with software version 1.50 or higher.
More Info
New Bass Effects
Two types of bass-amp models were provided in the original BR-1600CD. Now, in Version 2, six COSM models have been added, bringing the total to eight. Also new to Version 2 are COSM-powered overdrive/distortion effects derived from the GT-6B, plus 2x2 Chorus, Humanizer, Vibrato, Slow Gear, and Ring Modulator effects. In Version 2, the order/routing of FX blocks can be freely modified.
Enhanced Vocal Tool Box
Fix pitch, add harmony tracks—these essential tools have been part of the BR-1600CD's feature set since its release. With Version 2, the Vocal Tool Box gets even better with enhanced realtime vocal-pitch correction that allows you to designate specific editing regions (by contrast, Version 1's pitch correction was a real time process in units of semitones). The Harmony Sequence feature has been improved as well, allowing you to have more control over the editing parameters.
MIDI Sync
New to the BR-1600CD is its ability to synchronize playback or recording with another BR-1600CD, recorder, or MIDI sequencer via incoming MIDI Time Code (MTC). If you have a friend who owns a BR-1600CD, for example, the two units can be combined to create a 32-track recording studio with 16 simultaneous input channels!

> Costume of Seiko Shinohara from Corpse Party
- Most Recent Photo

- Series
- Corpse Party
- Character
- Seiko Shinohara
- Year Completed:
- 2012
- Construction Difficulty:
- Normal
- Costume worn at:
- Comiket Summer 2012
About this Costume
- Construction Details:
- Actually, I'm not very proud of the uniform itself: the pleated skirt is actually the one I made for Nagisa (CLANNAD) without the gold buttons, and it's probably the only thing that I made properly. The shoes were bought and painted, and I already had the socks. The shirt was horribly rushed, so much that it didn't fit me well and I cringe in horror everytime I see it (so much that I considered tearing it apart and adding blood stains for a photoshoot XD). The gem was a present from my friend JP, since I ran out of resin, I just painted it blue :3
- Personal Thoughts:
- Seiko was the second costume I decided I'd bring to my japanese adventure at Comiket 82 :3 I stumbled upon Corpse Party almost by chance: it caught my attention since this kind of horror is strange in japanese videogames and anime (and I just finished watching Another, so I was in the mood for something more XD). I didn't expect an adventure game with 16-bit style graphics to be this creepy and engaging! And with such awesome characters to boot. But among them all, my favorite was Seiko from the start: Satomi Arai does a superb job on her playful and funny voice, I love her positive outlook on that awful situation she's part of, her love is cute and sad at the same time and she's just memorable. And thus I decided to bring her costume to a convention in which it'd be easier to recognize me, even more with the spin-off and the OAV that just started being sold when I was there XD
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- I didn't have the time or the money to buy a really good wig, and I must admit I also felt intimidated by Seiko's crazy hairstyle, and so I ordered a cheap wig, just not too cheap to be too shiny and crappy-looking. I started working on it trying to make a back part, but I discovered that doesn't work when I finished doing it and it looked awful. And so, I made her two rolls with craft foam, a hairdryer and a lot of hairspray. I cut two long stripes of brown craft foam and glued small squares of felt to their tips in order to sew them later to the mesh of the wig. I separated the side bangs, put the rest of the hair up and sew them. After that, I released the hair, "glued" it to the foam with hairspray and heat and carefully twisted it to make her rolls, using hot glue and invisible hair clips to make them stay in shape. Her blue clip was painted by me.
- Wig Review
- For what is actually a party wig, Rubie's not as bad as the rest: it's not overly shiny and it has a lot of fibers. The major cons are its bulgy point parting and that it's somewhat sticky to the touch (WTF). It also has the usual defects of this kind of wigs: overly thick bangs combined with too few wefts in the back.

How North Jersey businesses coped with Sandy
Bankers said there was a big spike in demand for cash, partly because some gas stations and stores were not taking credit cards. "It was like a cash economy," said Tom Shara, CEO of Lakeland Bank, which did not run out because it had stocked up in advance of the storm. TD and Chase drove mobile banking and ATM trucks and trailers into some of the hardest hit areas, company representatives said.
Oritani's main office in Washington Township was being used last week by locals whose homes were still without power as a "warming center," where they could charge their cellphones, use the Internet and have a cup of coffee and a snack.
"I had no power at my house from Monday until Sunday so I know what it was like," said Lynch, who lives in Washington Township.

Director General/Executive Director
Speech at the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative Welcome Reception and Private Dinner
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a pleasure for me to address the World Economic Forum Partnering Against Corruption Initiative this evening.
I am particularly pleased because of PACI's unique nature as a forum designed by companies for companies.
The private sector has a powerful role to play in the fight against corruption and I cannot overemphasize this point.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our world is changing, or perhaps I should say evolving, and sometimes revolving.
Where once the question was to bribe or not to bribe, there is now, in the early 21 st Century, a broad consensus that bribery and corruption are no longer acceptable forms of doing business.
We have rejected the perception of corruption being a harmless, or victimless crime, and embraced the notion of a level playing field for all based on the key rules of accountability, equality, fairness, and transparency.
The UN Convention Against Corruption, which has made a real difference by changing the paradigm in both the public and the private spheres.
Now, with 159 parties, the Convention is moving towards the goal of universal adherence.
There has been significant progress with the implementation review mechanism introduced in 2010, and I am glad to say that countries are treating this seriously, but also with enthusiasm.
The efforts, successes and challenges of implementation are coming into sharp relief as more reviews are completed.
While the Convention calls for robust action to investigate and prosecute corrupt practices, preventive action in the private and public sectors is a key driver for change.
It is through sustained prevention that we will develop and strengthen a culture of zero tolerance for corruption.
This was strongly affirmed in Marrakech, at the last session of the Conference of the States Parties in October.
Heeding this call, UNODC is currently working on multiple fronts.
One of our projects aims at preventing corruption in the organization of major events, such as the Olympic Games, by developing appropriate safeguards, using UNCAC as the basic framework.
Another fundamental area for UNODC is education.
We need to educate the young on fairness and integrity today, so that we can have the ethical leaders tomorrow. Our approach is two-fold:
- First, focus on tertiary education through the development of anti-corruption curricula for law schools and business schools.
- Second, embed the values and ethics of UNCAC in younger children by teaching the values that are the bedrock of the Convention.
But the work of Governments and international organizations is not enough.
Full cooperation between the public and private sectors is fundamental.
And there are many good reasons to join in collective action. Corruption distorts markets and increases costs for companies, and ultimately for consumers.
This key role was acknowledged in the Anti-Corruption Action Plan adopted by the G-20 at its Summit in Seoul in 2010 and reaffirmed last November at the Cannes Summit.
New momentum is added this year, under the leadership of President Calderon of Mexico, with the establishment of the B20 Task Force on Improving Transparency.
UNODC has been invited and is honoured to participate in this initiative and contribute to the achievement of its objectives.
Two years ago, 100 chief executives called on governments to implement the UNCAC and to establish a robust mechanism to monitor its implementation.
Governments have delivered on the promise and the Mechanism is now fully operational. So, now comes the turn of business to translate words into deeds.
What can the private sector do?
Over the past few years, UNODC has suggested that some of the actions that business can undertake to contribute to the corruption fight in a meaningful way include the following:
- Align their practices to the Convention by developing suitable checks and balances;
- Establish a credible mechanism for the external assurance of anti-corruption performance;
- Invest in strengthening public integrity in developing countries, using the Convention as an insurance policy for business investments; and
- Invest in the supply chain. Large corporations should help small and medium sized businesses to successfully counter corruption.
As guardian of the Convention, UNODC stands ready to work with the private sector in charting the way forward. There is a lot that we can and must do together:
Tonight, I am launching a new strategic partnership, which may be called the "Integrity IPO."
As with any other IPO, we are looking for investors who will be ready to take a stake in promoting integrity through the implementation of the Convention.
We are looking for leaders in integrity willing to buy a share in a better tomorrow.
How will this work?
We are looking for companies willing to invest USD2 million each over the next four to five years.
The capital thus generated will be used for technical assistance that developing countries need to comply with the UNCAC Implementation Review Mechanism.
With this capital, UNODC, in partnership with other organizations, notably the World Economic Forum, will be able to help countries develop or strengthen their anti-corruption infrastructure.
Tangible results will be benchmarked and measurable in a transparent way through improved and consistent implementation of the Convention.
In other words, we will move closer to the achievement of the much desired level playing field that has so far eluded us.
For an amount that will hardly be noticeable in the balance sheets of most of you, I am offering you the opportunity to make an investment with a high return.
The Integrity IPO will be a potent insurance policy for protecting assets by investing in the integrity of your public counterparts.
The Integrity IPO will offer companies the opportunity to be integrity leaders by investing in the honesty of the global markets, while also promoting their reputation and adding to their value.
In two to three weeks, we will hold the equivalent of an investment analysts' conference call to explain the concept further to interested CEOs.
And in six weeks, UNODC will be ready to submit detailed plans and proposals to those who will express interest in participating.
To support this venture, I would be more than willing to speak at special events during board meetings and annual shareholders' conferences, if companies think it would be helpful.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I appreciate these are difficult times for everyone, especially in financial terms, but we must be vigilant.
There is a grave risk that some might be tempted to revert to questionable practices to retain market share during an unstable period.
However, it is also true that a recession is exactly the point when companies, operating in highly competitive markets, need to be assured of the fairness and equity of their business relations.
By working in partnership, by developing best practices under the Convention and by investing in the areas of the world that need our assistance, we can help to achieve these competitive, but fair, markets.
But we need to act fast, and we need to act decisively. If not, we risk the level playing field becoming an uphill struggle.
Thank you.

3G Bowling Shoes - Toe Cap Replacement
Toe Cap Replacement Instructions 1. Take the slotted screw driver and break the glued portion of the Toe Cap loose by pushing it between the cap and the shoe. This might require some pushing and turning of the screwdriver on the top as well as the bottom of the shoe. 2. After the glue is separated, turn the shoe over, sole facing up, and push the screwdriver between the toe cap and the bottom of the shoe. This will separate the Velcro and allow the toe cap to come off. 3. Clean any leftover contact cement from the shoe; this may require a razor knife. 4. Check the fit of the Toe Cap by trying a "dry run". Certain sizes might require a small amount of trimming on the bottom of the Toe Cap. If this is the case, CAREFULLY trim off excess material with your razor knife, the sharper, the better. 5. Place a thin layer of contact cement on the inside of the new toe cap, mostly toward the top side, and also put contact cement on the opposing part of the shoe. Allow the glue to cure for approximately 2 - 3 minutes before trying to put the new one on. 6. Place the thin cardboard piece between the Toe Cap and the shoe to keep the Velcro separated, this will allow you to push the toe cap all the way up against the front of the shoe with very little resistance. When you are satisfied with the fit on the front of the shoe, pull the cardboard out and smooth the toe cap together with the Velcro. Another thin layer of contact cement may be applied between the edge of the cap and the traction sole to seal the toe cap. 7. Let it dry for at least 24 hours before attempting to bowl. |

From the office of House Leader John Boehner:
On ABC's Good Morning America, the Democrats' trillion-dollar "stimulus" spending bill that isn't working was the top story today, as White House correspondent Jake Tapper highlighted our nation's rising unemployment and growing dissatisfaction with the Democrats' massive spending plan. Democrats had promised that the "stimulus" would create jobs "immediately," and the Administration promised that the spending plan would hold unemployment below eight percent.
With unemployment now at 9.5 percent and rising, middle-class families and small businesses across the nation are asking, "where are the jobs?" Meanwhile, Democrats are all over the map about whether to borrow and spend even more in another desperate attempt to jumpstart the economy. Republicans believe that if Democrats want to protect and create jobs, they should start in Congress by scrapping job-killing legislation like Speaker Pelosi's national energy tax and their government takeover of health care, which includes a new small business tax. Video and a full transcript of the Good Morning America piece follow:

Terri Tracey was there at the beginning, so to speak. The vice president of technology for the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), helped launch an online, for-credit course for members of her Tempe, Ariz.-based organization in 1996 — several lifetimes ago in the fast-paced world of online learning, or e-learning, as it has come to be known. Her advice to associations still contemplating e-learning opportunities?
"Jump in now! There are so many options in the marketplace that allow an organization to offer online courses for minimal cost. Take advantage of them." Plenty of people would agree with her. We surveyed the field and found out how associations can benefit from implementing an e-learning program.
Improve attendance at meetings and the quality of education
"We've been able to grow in both our live, on-the-road seminars and in our online courses," says Lisa Harrington, director of education, Florida Association of Insurance Agents, Tallahassee, Fla. "It has proved to us that online learning does not detract from our in-person seminars."
Online courses have also freed up Harrington's training staff to work on higher-level courses, according to Joe Crumbacher, CEO of Tallahassee-based LearnSomething.com, the application service provider (ASP) for the Florida Association of Insurance Agents. "FAIA used online educational programs for lower-end skills, and they focused their trainers on higher-priced, hands-on training. They make more money from their stand-up presenters, and they deliver a higher quality overall product," says Crumbacher.
Provide members with new benefits
"We archive our live, online sessions, so members listen whenever they want," says Lori Sackett, director of continuing education for the American Society of Landscape Architects, based in Washington, D.C. She adds, "They can download presentations and show them to clients, so it's also a marketing tool."
Earn new revenue
"We get positive cash flow out of this," FAIA's Harrington declares. "By a very small margin, our profits online are greater than for our on-the-road product. It's a tiny sliver." Over time, however, she predicts the margins will increase, because she can put a course online and run it with minor updates for a few years, much more than the 15 to 20 times she's able to use live courses.
According to Crumbacher of LearnSomething.com, the FAIA's revenue generation has nowhere to go but up. "They extend the reach of the lower-end content to more people, so they're delivering more courses," he says. "They're splitting royalties with us for the online course — we get a third in exchange for absorbing the development costs — but the rest drops directly to the bottom line because there's zero overhead attached."
Another example: Nearly 9,000 people have taken its self-directed online courses, at prices that start at $195 (the discounted member price), since ISM (formerly the National Association of Purchasing Managers) launched its Knowledge Center in 1999.
"We currently offer 23 different courses in the Knowledge Center," Tracey says. "For these self-directed courses, virtually all of the costs are sunk and up-front." Do the math, and you'll find that the ISM has taken in a minimum of $1.75 million dollars over that time, with minuscule operating costs.
Making It Work
There is a magic formula for making e-learning work, but associations have to be ready to swallow it: Preparation, with an emphasis on research. Not so much research into the mysteries of technology — although some of that is necessary — but research into the mysteries of association members and their needs, desires, and circumstances with regard to online learning. Here are some necessary ingredients:
Get support from the top
"No trainer is going to have a successful e-learning experience if he just decides to do it without support," says Darin Hartley, developer of new business ventures for the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), Alexandria, Va., and author of On-Demand Learning: Training in the New Millennium. "At a minimum, some general manager-level person is going to have to lead the charge." He adds that "support" means financial support, not just cheerleading.
Know what your members want
At the Florida Association of Insurance Agents, Harrington made a detailed study of members' needs regarding the use of e-learning. Among the important details that surfaced was the fact that members would be taking the FAIA basic course during their lunch hours. Consequently, the course, which is 40 hours long, was designed to be taken in 15- to 20-minute increments.
Crumbacher says Harrington's research was invaluable. "She got very specific about where members would be using the computer, what kind of computer they had, and how long they'd stay online," he says. "We had all that raw data going into the development process."
Not everything comes out in member surveys, as Lori Sackett of the American Society of Landscape Architects discovered. Her members were "computer-literate, and open to the idea," she says. "Being willing is great, but users do have to learn some new things."
For example, not all members knew how to check to see whether they had enough RAM to allow the e-learning program to operate. She was also surprised when members began calling during live presentations to say that they couldn't see. It turned out that members were putting as many as 20 people in a room to look at a single screen.
"Now we offer registration for individuals and groups up to 10. Any more than 10, they have to call me to discuss how they're going to arrange the room," she says.
If these problems seem trivial, ISM's Tracey offers a veteran's perspective. When her organization offered its first online courses, members would call to ask whether they needed an e-mail address and whether they could simply print out the course.
Tracey explains: "A well-designed online course doesn't translate to paper. To tell you the awful truth, we still get requests like that once in a while."
Have a learning strategy
That doesn't mean an organization should have everything mapped out in detail for the next five years, says Darin Hartley of the American Society of Training and Development. "There should be some overarching idea of why you want to offer e-learning, what the benefits are, and what your group's technological strengths are. This may sound like a silly example, but if your group is Mac-based, and you know you're switching over to Windows, you wouldn't want to do anything that wasn't transferable from one system to the other."
At the Florida Association of Insurance Agents, the benefit was seen as reaching more members at lower cost. Technology was outsourced, period. "My tech skills are irrelevant, because that's [the ASP's] role," FAIA's Harrington says. And, as is the case with nearly everything associated with e-learning, strategy gets back to what members want and need.
The Institute for Supply Management, for example, offers both self-directed and instructor-led courses over the Web. "The self-directed courses allow the learner the most flexibility in scheduling, but they also require a lot more motivation and dedication to complete the course," Tracey notes. "Instructor-led courses offer the opportunity for almost daily interaction," and some people find it easier to complete the work in that kind of environment.
Learn what FRS means
"If you go to a vendor and say 'I'm not quite sure what I want,' the vendor is going to have what you want," ASTD's Hartley says. "It seems like a simple premise, but it's where most e-learning efforts crumble." To know what you want, you need a functional requirements specification (FRS).
"Saying that you want to create Web-based training for accountants is not a sufficient FRS," he says. "You have to answer some questions first: What kind of training? What kind of Web-based training? Will it be delivered over the Internet? What are the bandwidth limitations? Can you do audio? Video? Does interactivity need to be built into it? How often does it have to be updated? All these things are part of a detailed FRS."
Having a detailed FRS makes it easy to outsource — it's an important tool for qualifying vendors. Hartley says, "You can go down the FRS point by point to determine who the best vendor is. When you have a good FRS, you're calling the shots, and it is much more likely that you'll get done what you need to get done, at the price you want to pay, in the time you've asked to get it done."
Shop for a business model
If an association is looking to an ASP to handle technical matters (and perhaps absorb some portion of development costs), consider the company's business model. They do differ.
When the Washington, D.C.-based Association for Retail Technology Standards, a unit of the National Retailers Foundation, wanted to initiate a series of e-learning courses on extensible markup language (XML), it originally intended to simply purchase courses from an ASP and then resell them to its members. Instead, they discovered a vendor that would work on a revenue-sharing basis.
Serebra is an ASP based in Vancouver, B.C., that sees itself primarily as a distribution channel rather than a seller of content.
Serebra charges ARTS an up-front fee for hosting, then takes an 80 percent share of whatever revenue ARTS generates selling XML courses offered through Serebra (and developed by a separate company, QTRAIN) to its members.
Eighty percent may seem like a big bite, but ARTS is able to offer high-level courses with no development costs, no fear of holding leftover inventory, and no capital investment in servers.
"The members actually pay for it," says Bruce Stewart, president of Serebra. "The association is not committed financially. And the more they can drive usage, the more they put into the association's coffers."
While the courses reside on Serebra's servers, their involvement isn't obvious: Members see only the ARTS logo, thanks to a co-branding deal. And ARTS simply takes credit for offering a new service that draws both existing and potential new members.
A somewhat different business model works for the Florida Association of Insurance Agents' application service provider, LearnSomething.com.
"They did all the computer work," says FAIA's Harrington. "We did all the content work for the insurance courses. We also offer some generic courses on office software that come from LearnSomething.com."
The ASP takes a third of the revenues generated by the FAIA courses in exchange for absorbing the development costs. The company gets more for the generic courses, but FAIA has no content-development investment there; the additional courses are seen as a bonus by members and yet another revenue stream for the association.
A third business model example is the relationship between the American Society of Landscape Architects and its ASP, PlaceWare. For Sackett, ASLA's director of continuing education, it was important to concentrate on content and have a trustworthy technology partner take care of details.
"The fact that I can depend on [PlaceWare] has allowed me to concentrate on the quality of our programs and how they're received by members," Sackett says. "We couldn't do this on our server. Their software is great, and they've been able to address problems we've run into — like having so many of our members, who are very graphics-oriented, working on Macs.
"If I had to worry about whether our servers were going to go down, in addition to everything else, I don't think I'd be here," he adds.
Don't let technology rule you
"The first thing I say when I go into a presentation with an association is, 'If you've got something that runs on steam, and it works for you, don't break it!'" says Crumbacher.
"If you can present Power-Point slides over the Web and handle audio by having members dial in for audio conferencing on the telephone, and it works, that's great."
That's exactly what the ASLA has done. And ISM's self-directed courses are text-only. So keep in mind that streaming video may be essential to an e-learning course — or it may not. Deciding how to proceed with the bells and whistles of online learning should be a function of what an association's members can handle. Audio-conferencing combined with online presentation may be impractical if the target audience is required to be online and on the phone at the same time when there's just one phone line available. Although, as several ASP providers point out, you can work around this by mailing a CD-ROM that contains the visual presentation ahead of time.
And there is a final point to consider, according to Lisa Neal, editor-in-chief of the Web publication eLearn Magazine. "You don't want to do away with face-to-face education. Some things require in-person learning, such as how to conduct a performance appraisal. That requires role-playing. But you can shorten the classroom time by offering preliminary classes online. That's the blended learning approach — orchestrating the kinds of interaction, the kinds of learning experiences, that you want."
What's an ASP?
Here's a definition of an application service provider from webopedia.com: "Application service providers are third-party entities that manage and distribute software-based services and solutions to customers across a wide-area network from a central data center. In essence, ASPs are a way for companies to outsource some or almost all aspects of their information technology needs."
As Jon Crumbacher, CEO of LearnSomething.com, an ASP based in Tallahassee, Fla., sees it: "The ASP model allows everybody to focus on what they're good at. The analogy I use is, when textbooks are written by professors, the professors don't concern themselves with what the cover art will be, how the pages will be laid out, what typeface will be used, how the book will be printed, bound, and distributed. They give the manuscript to a publisher. There is really no difference when we move to online publishing."

Don't Forget the Presenter
Just as special skills are required for presenters who work on stage or on television, specific skills are required for live e-learning sessions, says Lisa Neal, editor-in-chief of the Web publication eLearn Magazine (www.elearnmag.org) and a managing consultant for EDS Digital Learning Services, Plano, Texas.
"The question is not just is somebody a good teacher or lecturer, but is somebody going to be effective online?" Neal says. You want to orchestrate things so you can take advantage of the technology, not let the technology become an impediment, she adds.
"For example, if I'm using text chat as part of the presentation, I can't read the text chat while I'm presenting; I lose my train of thought. On a few occasions, I've been able to have somebody sitting next to me with their own monitor, who can read the chat and nudge me, or put a Post-It Note in front of me to let me know I've got a question. It's that kind of process that can make a big difference."

Offer a Freebie
Visitors to the Web page for the Institute For Supply Management's Knowledge Center can take a free online course. The American Society of Landscape Architects also offers a free demo of its initial course offering.
Free courses are easier (and more convincing) than trying to describe all the benefits that accrue from e-learning. Even for computer-literate memberships, the experience can be instructive, says Lori Sackett, continuing education director for ASLA. Viewing a presentation, she says, helps members understand that they can do it at their convenience, and that there is no special software they have to learn to use. "That in itself is an important part of the process [of adaptation]."

New Vacationist Property----weo!
I see "Vacationist" will be adding Voreina Gallery Suites in Santorini. I am impressed! We have made reservations there for June. They are so wonderful to work with and I have enjoyed planning my trip to their lovely spot. Thank you LL for adding them.
I am not thrilled with Vacationist. They advertised for the Vuyani Lodge at $387 vs $587 per night or something like that. The promotion was ending 1/28/13. When I pulled up the availability, the entire block for Oct. Nov. Dec. was blanked out with no availability.
I wound up booking 2 rooms for November 2013 at bookings.com. There was availability but not at the $387 advertised price. The owner of the Vuyani Lodge said he did not understand what happened, however, I am still paying the higher price.....
I thought you said waited too late to get the vacationist sale? I'm confused.
" I just booked there two rooms for our African trip in November. Unfortunately, I booked 1 day after the sale ended and did not get this great price.Anything I can do at this point to still get the low price. Does LL have any pull???
The sale ended on Jan. 28 and I booked on Jan. 29. Outch.... ""wherever you go, there you are"
No, I tried to book with Vacationist/LL on Jan. 28 and found the whole block of Oct, Nov, Dec. marked "unavailable". The Vacationist sale ended Jan. 28. I did not try to contact anybody at Vacationist or LL on Jan. 28, since we had just gotten back home from our Hawaii/Tahiti trip. On Jan. 29, I saw the Vuyani Lodge advertised at Booking.com and booked the 2 rooms with Booking.com. I could get one room directly, but for the second room, Booking.com had to call Mr. Bernard to confirm the second room. Both rooms were booked at Booking.com rates on Jan. 29. I was disgusted with Vacationist/LL because the entire block of Oct.Nov.Dec. showed "unavailable" on Jan. 28, but perhaps I was still too jet-lagged to act and call LL on the Vacationist Vuyani Lodge offer to ask why the entire block sowed unavailable. I probably should have called, especially since it was the last day the offer was available........ Mr. Bernard though could not explain why the entire block of Oct., Nov., Dec. showed unavailable on Jan. 28 at the LL/Vacationist site when I talked to him later on on a different matter concerning my booking.
I guess, I was asleep at the switch on Jan. 28, the last day of the offer. Under normal circumstances, I would have called LL/Vacationist and questioned the fact why the entire 3 months of Oct. Nov. Dec. of this offer showed no availability.

Tomorrow Aston Villa will find out the identity of it's opponent in the Europa League Playoff Round Fortunately for the Villains they are seeded in tomorrow's draw. Unfortunately included in the unseeded pot is Rapid Vienna who dispatched Villa at this stage last year on away goals. Notwithstanding Aston Villa should have little trouble with most of the clubs in the unseeded pot.
Under Randy Lerner Villa are certainly an ambitious club. Not ambitious in the same way that Manchester City are ambitious in spending £200, but in they have invested in the infrastructure of the club by rebuilding the training grounds, the academy, and the proposed Villa Park renovations will make it one of the finest stadia in the EPL. A European trophy would do well to grow the stature and profile of the club in the rest of Europe.
There is a perception that nobody cares about this competition. This is partially true. Nobody cares in England. Many fans and media in England are too hung up on the UCL and jumping on the bandwagon of one of the "Top Four." Given the shared language and culture, and the accessibility of the English media via the internet this attitude has migrated to the US. In the rest of Europe this competition is still held in a very high regard. Look no further than Sevilla and Atletico Madrid who have won this competition over the past five years.
This would also allow Martin O'Neil to blood the youngsters coming up through the academy, as well as the squad players that he seems unable to sell at the moment. Who knows maybe one of these players will find some form and actually make it into a league game. And then MON can wait for it, wait for it, rotate the squad! All right that probably was a pipe dream, but it is not completely impossible. A nice European run will give Villa some extra revenue. Not a significant amount but when you lose £40 every little bit helps. Given how competitive the league promises to be, winning the Europa League might be Villa's best avenue back into Europe next year.

Ignore money: Shaheen's awful college advice
Sen. Shaheen is a sponsor of the "Pay As You Earn plan." The legislation "caps payments for Federal Direct Student Loans at 10 percent of discretionary income," as a Shaheen press release explained it. The idea is that recent college graduates often have low-paying jobs, so their student loan payments should be held to levels they can always afford to make.
Shaheen said the plan "is especially important for workers in lower-paying public service careers, such as teachers, nurses, or first-responders." Then she made this stunning statement: "Students should be able to pursue a career based on their passions and interests, not by concerns about being able to pay back their loans."
In what universe?
Shaheen would have students pursue their dreams free from financial considerations. Their parents might have other ideas. Choosing to be a social worker or a (gulp) journalist instead of a banker or entrepreneur is a matter of more than personal fulfillment. It is a matter of economics as well. Young people should understand the real-life financial consequences of their career choices. They should not be encouraged by government policy to expect that such consequences are a matter of no concern.
The ready availability of government-subsidized, low-interest student loans already encourages people to pursue careers with little regard to their ability to repay those debts. Further distancing career choices from the financial realities that await in the real world sounds compassionate, but it could lead to many more people staying in debt much longer while pursuing work for which there is little demand.

Ankylosing Spondylitis May Cause Anterior UveitisAbout 30% of people with ankylosing spondylitis develop anterior uveitis sometime in the course of their disease. Anterior uveitis is an inflammation of the front part of the eye called the uvea, including the iris and ciliary body. The cause of anterior uveitis is unknown; however, the immune response associated with ankylosing spondylitis that causes the spinal problems is most likely similar to the inflammation seen with anterior uveitis. Many other possible causes of anterior uveitis exist, but when ankylosing spondylitis is present, the development of anterior uveitis is most likely related to ankylosing spondylitis.

Is Kodak's new Zx1 better than the Flip Mino HD?
Last year, Kodak was first out the gate with an HD minicamcorder, the Zi6. That model was pretty good and won some fans for its decent video quality and relatively large LCD display. This year, Kodak's sticking with much the same as far as the guts of the camcorder, but it's evolved to a more rugged design that's geared toward consumers with "action and adventure in mind."
The $149.99 Zx1 incorporates the same 1/4.5-inch 1.6-megapixel sensor as the Zi6. However, according to Kodak, it has upgraded the processor in this model, … Read more
