Online universities blossom in Asia
Growth in technology and internet use is matched by a deep reverence for education

- At Kuala Lumpur-based Asia e University, students download course materials from an online forum and virtual library.
Kuala Lumpur: Thousands of kilometres from Kuala Lumpur in Cameroon, doctoral student Michael Nkwenti Ndongfack attends his Open University Malaysia classes online and hopes to defend his final thesis by Skype.
A government worker, Ndongfack could not find the instructional design and technology course he wanted in his own country, so is paying a foreign institution about $10,000 (8,000 euros) for the degree instead.
Online university education is expanding quickly in Asia, where growth in technology and internet use is matched by a deep reverence for education.
"I chose e-learning because it is so flexible," Ndongfack, 42, told AFP via Skype from his home in the Cameroonian capital Yaounde.
Web-based courses dramatically boost opportunities for students and are often cheaper than those offered by traditional bricks-and-mortar institutions.
But online learning has also caught the eye of some of the world's most prestigious universities, with Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently teaming up to offer free courses over the Internet.
"With the improvement in technology, the number of institutions offering online education has increased, both in terms of numbers and the kind of classes offered," said Lee Hock Guan, senior fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore.
The Malaysian government said about 85,000 people took online courses in the country last year, both at web-based institutions and traditional universities offering Internet teaching.
In high-tech South Korea more than 112,000 students at 19 institutions are taking web-based classes, all of which have begun since 2002.
China embraced the concept of online learning in the late 1990s to expand access to education, particularly in its vast rural regions, and there are now scores of providers, with 1.64 million people enrolled in 2010.
Online courses are changing the way students learn, educators say, placing less emphasis on the rote learning that has long characterised education in parts of Asia, and harnessing modern consumer technologies.
And "open" universities, which typically offer courses primarily through the Internet, allow anyone to enrol for online programmes regardless of prior qualification or degrees.
At Kuala Lumpur-based Asia e University, students download course materials from an online forum and virtual library. They are in contact with teachers and fellow students mostly through email, online chats, phone and text messages.
Assignments typically include illustrating what they have learned with videos and other presentations made with smartphones, iPads or other devices and uploading them to YouTube.
Academics say such interactive learning helps students engage with the material more than they would sitting passively in a lecture hall, and opens a window to learning through a medium they know and love - the latest gadgets.
"Everyone is a front-row student," said Ishan Abeywardena, who teaches information technology at Wawasan Open University, based in northern Malaysia.
Students who might be too shy to ask questions or otherwise engage with their class in a traditional setting are much bolder online, Ishan said.
"Can you imagine the iPad, iPod and iPhone generation today, who are going to enter the university say, in 15 years' time, going for a chalk-and-talk kind of model of learning? You learn by doing," said Ansary Ahmed, Asia e University's president.
But even those in favour of online learning admit face-to-face interaction - which can also help keep students motivated and personally engaged - is lost.
Ndongfack, whose web-only institution opened in 2000, said online studies were not easy, leaving him feeling isolated. "There is no one there to give you instant support," he said.
The growth of online degree programmes is also constrained by poor Internet accessibility in parts of Asia and beyond.
More than 80 percent of South Koreans and 60 percent of Malaysians have online access, but in China the rate slips to about 40 percent and it slumps to around 10 percent in India.
Other criticisms include inadequate regulation, allegations of poor-quality teaching, student cheating, and the fact that online degrees are still not as widely recognised as traditional ones in the marketplace, say industry experts.
But Asia e University's Ansary says such teething problems will be addressed over time, and in a few decades students will no longer attend just one university but several, picking and choosing from online offerings.
"These are early days," he said. "The window is just opening."
Huge interest

Authors: Ryan Asleson and Nathaniel T. Schutta
Publisher: Apress
Price: $29.99
Title: Ajax in
Authors: Dave Crane and Eric Pascarello
with Darren James
Publisher: Manning
Price: $44.95
Ajax has been making the rounds lately, and I needed to learn a bit
more about it. So, I grabbed copies of Foundations of
Ajax, from Apress, and Ajax in Action,
from Manning. Let me fill you in on both of them.
Foundations of Ajax is the smaller of the two
books, and it certainly feels as though it's geared to someone just
getting started with Ajax. The first third of the book--three chapters
and 74 four pages--covers the philosophy and technology behind Ajax. Then, after
a chapter on implementing basic Ajax techniques, the book moves on to another
big block--three chapters and 92 pages--covering JavaScript development.
The final chapter presents a case study in three parts; introducing patterns,
describing a framework (written by the authors) and building an Ajax project.
The book closes with two appendices and a good index.
I especially was pleased to find a chapter on JSUnit, the JavaScript unit
testing framework. The chapter provides an overview of test driven design,
documentation of JSUnit and a number of examples of how JSUnit can be
The only letdown I had with Foundations of Ajax is
it doesn't cover a lot of ground. What is covered, however, is covered well.
Overall, the book is approachable, useful and worth looking into if you're going
to be doing any Ajax work.
Ajax in Action is more than twice the size of
Foundations. The table of contents and the index both
seem more complete and better laid out in this book, too. Ajax
in Action is broken into four parts (13 chapters) and
three appendices. The first part, "Rethinking the Web Application"; the
fourth part, "Ajax by Example"; and the appendices are similar to the
sections of Foundations of Ajax described above.
The middle two parts, "Core Techniques" and "Professional Ajax", are
where you'll find the extra meat in Ajax in Action.
Ajax in Action spends much less time with hands-on
JavaScript, but it does provide much more coverage of CSS and theory. I
also enjoyed a 30-page section, in Chapter 10, that discusses refactoring.
In addition, Manning's code typesetting--something I've always
appreciated in their books--really shines in this chapter, setting off
discussion points and changes nicely. Chapter 6, "The User
Experience", and Chapter 8, "Performance" also are good reads, chock full
of solid information.
My favorite feature of Ajax in Action is its
availability as an unencumbered PDF file. I love having a paper copy to
tote around and read but having a searchable, on-line version is really
Overall, I think both Foundations of Ajax and
Ajax in Action are two really good books. If I had to choose
between them, I'd grab Ajax in Action, but I think
they complement each other well. Enjoy!
Great Review -Thanks
Is this book available in german language?
please reply!
thanks in advanced!
Ajax in Action - for beginners?
Good descriptions overall, but I am wondering if you would consider Ajax in Action valuable for beginners? Or is Foundations of Ajax a better fix in that case?
Quick Update
You learn something every day. It turns out that Apress also sells PDF ebooks, and Foundations of Ajax is one of the titles they offer in this format. You can get a copy from Apress directly.
good review
This is helpful, thanks!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

SREL Reprint #2709
Chromate transport and retention in variably saturated soil columns
J. M. Hutchison1, J. C. Seaman1, S. A. Aburime2, and D. E. Radcliffe3
River Ecology Laboratory, P.O. Drawer E, Aiken, SC 29802
Abstract: Most subsurface contamination passes through the unsaturated zone before reaching an aquifer; however, transport studies are often conducted under saturated condition because of the difficulty in maintaining steady-state flow. Chromate migration was measured in coarse-textured, oxide-rich sediment under different water contents using vacuum wid ceutrifuge techiques to obtain a steady-state unsaturated flow regime. Leaching solutions contained 0.5 or 1.0 mM Cr(VI) and tritium in artificial groundwater. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) were modeled using CXTFIT assumiug equilibrium conditions, since evaluation of data using a "two-region" physical nonequilibrium model indicated that mobile water was >90% regardless of saturation level. Dispersivity increased nonlinearly with decreasing water content. Retardation (R) increased with decreasing water content, but water content had little effect on the distribution coefficient calculated from R, Kd-app. The average Kd-app of all Cr(VI)experiments (water content range: 0.07-0.43 cm3 cm-3) was 0.633 mL g-1, very similar to the distribution coefficient derived from batch equilibration, Kd (0.684 mL g-1). Though results in both transport systems were similar, average solute residence times in the vacuum system were 4 to 23 times longer than in the centrifuge system at comparable water contents. The centrifuge system colunm experiments could also be run over a greater range in volumetric water content (0.07-0.42 cm3 cm-3) than the vacuum column system (0.23-0.43 cm3 cm-3).

This was actually announced a couple days ago, but I just received an email from French publisher P.O.L. celebrating the awarding of the Prix Renaudot to Emmanuel Carrère for his new novel Limonov.
Limonov is not a fictional character. He exists. I know him. He was a lout in Ukraine; an idol of the Soviet underground under Brezhnev; a tramp, then a manservant to a millionaire in Manhattan; a trendy writer in Paris; a soldier lost in the wars of the Balkans; and now, in the immense chaos of Russian post-communism, an old charismatic chef of a party of young desperados. He sees himself as a hero, it's possible to consider him as a bastard: I'll reserve my judgment.
His life is adventurous and ambiguous: a true novel. And I believe his life tells us something. Not only about himself, Limonov, not only about Russia, but about the history of us all after the Second World War.
This is how Emmanuel Carrère describes his last novel. What he doesn't say is to what extent he has succeeded in creating a breathtaking contemporary epic novel from this extraordinary life, to be read without stopping in great exaltation. Most certainly because his knowledge of the subject is complete, his inquiry was thorough, having read all of Limonov's books, of course, and what has been written about him, meeting him himself, and all the witnesses it was possible to contact, but especially because his talent as a narrator is immense, and that he masterly rendered not only the character's complexity, but also that of his country and his time.
This sounds fantastic, and like a great follow up to Lives Other than My Own, which came out earlier this year, and which we featured on Read This Next. FSG already bought the rights to this new book, although there's no info available about when it will be available in English translation.
The publisher's blurb for Oleg Pavlov's The Matiushin Case promises the prospective reader "a Crime and Punishment for today," the sort of comparison that is almost always guaranteed to do a disservice to both the legendary dead and the ambitious. . .
One hundred years have passed since the start of World War I and it is difficult to believe that there are still novels, considered classics in their own countries, that have never been published in English. Perhaps it was the. . .
In the London of Hédi Kaddour's Little Grey Lies, translated by Teresa Lavender Fagan, peace has settled, but the tensions, fears, and anger of the Great War remain, even if tucked away behind stories and lies. Directly ahead, as those. . .
One of the greatest services—or disservices, depending on your viewpoint—Bertrand Russell ever performed for popular philosophy was humanizing its biggest thinkers in his History. No longer were they Platonic ideals, the clean-shaven exemplars of the kind of homely truisms that. . .
The best way to review Alejandra Pizarnik's slim collection, A Musical Hell, published by New Directions as part of their Poetry Pamphlet series, is to begin by stating that it is poetry with a capital P: serious, dense, and, some. . .
Upon completing Albertine Sarrazin's Astragal I was left to wonder why it ever fell from print. Aside from the location, Astragal could pass as the great American novel. Its edginess and rawness capture the angst and desires we all had. . .
When my eyes first crossed the back cover of Fabio Genovesi's novel Live Bait, I was caught by a blurb nestled between accolades, a few words from a reviewer for La Repubblica stating that the novel was, however magically, "[b]eyond. . .

The property owner said the house will be in forclosure soon because the owner is not paying the mortgage. He has not provided us with smoke detectors or fixed the broken windows. To make things worst, he moved his niece in upstairs in May and they never took out garbage. There are garbage bags and dog poop all over the back porch. His niece has moved out and the garbage is still not cleaned up/ Meanwhile my 15 month old twins keep getting staph infections and now we have mice in the house.
Dear the property owner said the house will be in foreclosure:
New York State does not allow for a separate lawsuit for pain and suffering. A tenant may sue a landlord for a personal injury arising from illegal conditions in the home, or arising from violations of law. If you are interested in pursuing legal claims, make certain that the conditions of the home are inspected and recorded as violations. To pursue a claim of injury to the children, their doctor would need to report that their exposure to disease occurred in the home. You may not want a record like that to come into existence.
In any case where a party is injured by the negligence of another party, in New York State, a jury is allowed to consider whether the injured party in some degree contributed to their injury by their own negligence.
If you associate your children's illness to the unhealthy condition of the garbage on the porch, don't wait for the landlord to clean up the mess.
You could withhold rent for the dangerous conditions, but you may end up being sued for non payment of rent. In a landlord and tenant lawsuit, a tenant may not ordinarily raise a counterclaim for personal injury. If a tenant does join a personal injury counterclaim, the court likely would sever the counterclaim. In any case, you do not want to bring a lawsuit for a personal injury for injuries to your children without an attorney.
Good luck.
Pain and suffering damages are an element of damages for a tort suit, not a landlord tenant lease.
In most tenant arrangements taking out the garbage on a daily basis falls to the tenant.

When he was elected in 2010, Mayor Mike Huether said one of his top priorities was to bring down the price of airfare out of Sioux Falls.
Four years later, that's happened, for some destinations.
These days the Sioux Falls airport is a bustling place. With $23 million worth of improvements and a couple of new carriers, more people are choosing to fly out of the city.
"We've seen three consecutive years of record passenger traffic. This year, we'll probably be close to having a million people fly through the Sioux Falls airport," Sioux Falls Regional Airport Executive Director Dan Letellier said.
Surprisingly, most of those passengers aren't complaining about ticket prices.
"You get cheaper out of larger metropolitan areas, out of Atlanta or Chicago or Dallas. But for a regional airport, it's pretty good," passenger Brian Thoreson said.
"We booked ours before Christmas time, so the prices were comparable if you fly out of bigger cities and stuff," passenger Denise Garvey said.
Booking well in advance can get flyers the cheapest fare.
"Even though the low fare is out there for a 21-day advance, if the seats are not there, you're not going to get that price," Travel Agent Lorie Buus said.
That's because while some fares are lower, there aren't as many flights and the planes taking off are smaller. The airline business has changed considerably since Mayor Mike Huether took office calling for lower fares. He helped bring Frontier Airlines into the city. Frontier offered lower prices to the West.
"When we started here in 2010, we had four out of every ten travelers who wanted to fly out of Sioux Falls, flew out of somewhere else. Now we've cut that in half," Huether said.
While flights to the West are now cheaper and more competitive with Omaha or Minneapolis, flying to Minneapolis or Chicago will cost you a lot more than it did four years ago.
"The flight to Chicago? It's cheaper out of Omaha. That flight from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis, you just as well drive. That single connection. That single connection to Minneapolis; that single connection to Chicago is high," Buus said.
Adding another carrier such as Southwest with flights East could change that.
"There are hopeful signs within a couple of years they might add a couple flights to Chicago or St. Louis that are mini-hubs for them that might provide some additional competitive pressure going eastbound. But there's no magic bullet that all of a sudden we have super low fares to New York," Letellier said.
"I heard that same thing four years ago. I did. I was told, 'There's not an easy fix. It's so hard; we can't make these improvements.' But guess what? Collaboratively we have," Huether said.
"Any one person or one group, they're pretty limited in what can be done because the airlines are for-profit businesses and they control the supply, especially now when there are fewer carriers, they can consolidate their efforts. They can control the amount of seats, much better than they could before," Letellier said.
Huether believes as long as people continue to choose to fly out of Sioux Falls, the airlines will come.
"But if you work toward it, if you devise a plan, if you execute the plan then ultimately yes, I think we've got a really good chance to make that happen," Huether said.
We compared airfare prices from four years ago to today. While you can now get a flight to Denver for as low as $140, it costs as much as $200 more per ticket to fly to Chicago or Dallas than it did four years ago if not booked well in advance.

If Swimmers Were Neurons
if open water swimmers were seen as the equivalent of the 100 million neurons that are estimated to exist in the human brain, then the Internet and its websites, blogs, online social networks and video-sharing services are helping tie together these neurons to make swimmers more intelligent, creative and inspirational beings.
As a baby is born in this world, the boundaries and connections between these individual neurons gradually begin to develop a remarkably dynamic neural network that enables the child to know the touch of its mother and the sound of her voice. As the child grows, the neural connections continue to fire up and enable the small human to crawl, walk and talk, to complain and request, first through cries and later through reasoning, persuasion and guile.
Similarly, a venture into the Interwet allows swimmers and triathletes to learn what others do, to become inspired by other's training methodologies and witness incredible accomplishments. The online connections enable the swimmer to learn where others swim, how they do it, and what others use as equipment. The boundaries between what is possible and what currently exists become closer.
Swimming in water under 20°C seems reasonable if others are swimming in water near 15°C. And if others are swimming in water under 10°C, then 5°C seems a little more doable. Swimming one mile may seem daunting to some individuals until they see and read about swimmers like Craig Dietz and Philippe Croizon venturing beyond the shorelines.
For seeing what is possible in the open water world is a powerful elixir to firing up the imagination. The sport of triathlon has introduced, invited and inspired many land-oriented athletes to take up the open water. Their strengths on land are not always transferred easily to the aquatic environment. The balance on a bicycle is not the same as a balanced swimming stroke. The endurance of a runner is not exactly the same as the stamina exhibited by a swimmer in a channel. The pain of marathon is not somehow different than the discomfort experienced in rough seas on an upset stomach.
But listening to the stories on blogs, observing others on YouTube, and reading the advice of those who have gone before are precisely how the neurons of triathletes and open water swimmers around the world are being more and more connected, more and more collectively intelligent, and more and more bold and creative in the global open water swimming world.
So instead of looking at swimmers as another cog in the wheel, we are more like neurons in the brain: intelligent and creative…and becoming more so over time.

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

The Other Shore
The Other Shore follows world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as she comes out of a thirty-year retirement to re-attempt an elusive dream: swimming 103 miles non-stop from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage. Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished. At the edge of The Devil's Triangle, tropical storms, sharks, venomous jellyfish, and one of the strongest ocean currents in the world, all prove to be life-threatening realities. Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
