Speaking at the MPA AGM in London last week, Navin talked of "big publishing, a big MPA... and thinking big" over the issue, whilst castigating the UK Government for its percieved cosy relationship with Google.
You can read Navin's speech in full below.
Six days ago, on midsummer's night, beneath the massif of Stirling Castle the London 2012 Festival got under way with the Big Concert - including a spectacular performance by the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and a special guest appearance by Big Noise. Big Noise is palpable proof of the Scottish "El Sistema" programme that aims to use music making to foster confidence, teamwork, pride and aspiration in the children taking part - and across their wider community
Big noise, Big concert, I want to talk about big publishing and a big MPA.
In Australia the other day I heard Imogen Heap speak of songwriting - "grab what you can see in the spotlight", which I interpret as being a modus operandi that we can all apply from time to time - work on what you feel, follow your inclination and instinct, grasp the vision, do not allow granular detail to obstruct the view, be positive, think BIG. For example in the case of the GRD let us in all the complexity of the detail of this global project not lose sight of the vision ahead of us of a single authoritative database.
Often it is difficult to find space and time to think BIG - more often at the moment I have Orwellian dreams and imagine I am in a stinking slit trench (pressed against the parapet of the trench along with colleagues from UK Music); we are on permanent war footing - waiting for the next whizzbang to come in from Brussels or the IPO
BUT today is AGM day and it is a good time to breathe deeply and think BIG . The Report of the Board for the past year that we have presented to the AGM gives the detail of our activities during 2011 but the AGM is the opportunity to share with our members our vision aspiration and passion for your trade association in the privacy of this public cinema.
You have just seen the film - I hope that some vision aspiration and passion will be revealed therein. People have asked me - who is it aimed at, who is it for? The short answer everybody. With my fertile imagination I can see a leader article in the Times tomorrow: - A major motion picture from the MPA studios has told the story they said could never be told - What is music Publishing?
Two years ago I shared with you my version of the Publishers creed:
[The Publishers' Creed
We believe in the supremacy and value of the musical work
We believe that it is very hard to compete with free
We believe in a market economy
We believe in the importance of our industry to the British economy
We believe that enormous opportunities lie before us
We believe in partnership
We believe in global solutions for the global digital market
We believe in education]
Perhaps the most important of them all and the biggest of them all is:
The supremacy of the musical work; that it is our duty and joy to promote and protect it with all the tools that Queen Anne first made available to us 300 years ago when she very presciently signed off on the Statute of Ann. We believe therefore in the philosophical and ideological basis of copyright and indeed in the inalienable overriding moral right of the creator and author in a musical work.
In the digital licensing environment - could we, should we, ought we not to, argue that the musical work deserves an equal or greater share of the digital pie than the recording of the musical work.
BUT I hear you say - music is emotion, not determined by a Newtonian law of motion that states that the hierarchy in the making of great music is necessarily in the order of musical work first, then the performance and then the production or accompaniment.
Or put another way - what made Odysseus cry?
10 years fighting in Troy, 7 years shacked up with Calypso the nymph, washed up naked after a ship wreck but taken in by King Alcinous and his sexy daughter Nausicaa (who spots Odysseus in the surf whilst she is doing her washing) , Alcinous throws a party for him and gets top bard Demodocus to play. Demodocus plays and sings about the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles. Odysseus bursts into tears. Why? Is he moved by the words of the song because the Bard is singing about him, or is he knackered and homesick, is he deeply depressed by the state of the Greek economy, or as Homer, himself a bard, suggests is he weeping not for purely personal reasons but because of the spectacle which he is witnessing - a great performance of a musical work?
To keep the musical work supreme we (and our appointed collection societies) on behalf of our writers have got to be masters opf prestidigitation - fit and nimble - like Olympic athletes. The Olympic ideals expressed in the hendiatris of CITIUS (Faster), ALTIUS (Higher), FORTIUS (Stronger) seem very applicable and we could harness business attributes to each of these comparatives - talent, entrepreneurship, ambition, dedication, passion, adaptability, willingness to collaborate, good business management and of course luck.
In short we have got to be BIG in both thought and action to deal with some issues and I shall mention three :
1. Government
Like a government that seems obsessed by a growth agenda at all costs and has been lurching and lunging about in desperation to find a victim to sacrifice and has found intellectual property and copyright in particular as an easy target presumably on the basis that if your victim is intangible then he will feel no pain and leave no trace if you cut him down.
We have been visited by successive governments with plagues of copyright reviews of biblical proportions but the latest review by the Tories seems the most heartless - one is reminded of the book of Kings where the people came to Rehoboam after the death of his father Solomon and asked him to lighten the cruel slavery imposed on them by Solomon. Rehoboam took advice from his elders (lenient) and then the "young men" (hard) in attendance around him and eventually responded "My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions." Thanks Dave
Who are these lean and hungry "young men" who surround David Cameron. Are they his GAFAs - Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple all fighting for his attention and fighting amongst themselves to keep and control us - we are like sheep corralled into mammoth silos.
From their tax havens, they watch the untaxed money roll in from the UK and their influence spread. On £2.1 billion of UK revenue Google paid £5 million in tax - a rate of less than a quarter of one percent. Are they and Jimmy Carr having a joke at our expense?
I fear that the GAFAs have already achieved the online version of the Panopticon designed by the 18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham - The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan) inmates of an institution without them being able to tell whether or not they are being watched.
Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."
2. The Battle for hearts and minds
We need to redouble our efforts to improve the copyright brand and our message and that of our songwriters. Working with UK Music this will be a joint message from ourselves and BASCA and our collection societies . The GAFAs and their claque have scored stunning PR victories as regards SOPA and ACTA. The DEA is now more than 2 years old and until yesterday not a whisper of activity - and now suddenly like the arrival of London buses two things arrive - Ofcom finally publishes the Initial Obligations Code and the Government publishes the Sharing of Costs Statutory instrument.
Behind all this I sense the hand of the powerful cunctators ruthlessly drip drip feeding into the demos the rank self serving hypocrisy of the two shibboleths:
That internet access is a 'fundamental human right',
That copyright protection infringes privacy
Do you remember a cold Saturday in March this year? We had protesters outside British Music House, looking very disgruntled but exactly what they were disgruntled about was less clear as ACTA from my reading of it will not result in any additional legislation governing the use of intellectual property on the internet in the UK. ISPs are not obliged to monitor traffic. ACTA contains no web-blocking provisions or graduated response regime. Rather than standing around waving banners wearing Guy Fawkes masks (Guy Fawkes being of course the Osama Bin Laden of his day) those protesting might have been better employed actually reading the Agreement.
BUT nevertheless we must heed what Richard Hooper has learned on his journey towards the Utopia of a Digital Copyright Exchange - that we need to get on and get licensing high volume, low value use of our works and recordings where reasonably practicable. This jogs a memory of a pithy comment made by the composer Phillip Glass on the occasion of a piano recital given by him at the Music Sales office - "Don't protect me into obscurity".
The big prize for the publisher is to generate VALUE for his writer, and build a business that can afford to invest in new talent - and we do this by applying the three levers at our disposal - education, enforcement and of course licensing.
And 3. Collective rights management
The first collection societies were created in the 19th century. As Chris has said PRS will be 100 years young in 2014. Is the historical Collective rights model fit for purpose in 2012? The European Commission clearly does not think so as we await the formal publication of the framework directive on Collective Rights management (CRM). It will cover standards of governance and transparency for all collecting societies (not just music) and will provide a framework for cross border online music services based on a so called "passport" model.
Should this worry us, both as publishers and owners of MCPS £ From what I have seen I do not think so. It should hopefully worry a lot of collection societies across Europe and indeed beyond.
My personal view as regards CRM (and indeed these points are largely supported, I believe, by the provisions of draft directive):
1 The principle of collective rights management serves a very valuable function both for users and rights owners in circumstances where it would be impractical for individual licensing to take place.
2 The right holder should decide whether to place rights or not with a CRM
3 CRMs are agents and servants of their writer and publishers and not right holders.
4 It follows that the writer/publisher should have the right to terminate a mandate or withdraw rights, categories of rights or of works. As a simple example it makes no sense to me that a UK publisher and writer cannot do any business at all on line without having to get permission from PRS because PRS controls the making available right. Managing this process will be facilitated by the adoption of GRD.
5 The CRM business is fundamentally licensing of rights, collection and distribution of royalties and the management of data relating thereto and all costs should be wholly exclusively and necessarily incurred in connection with the business and no more.
We have tough decisions ahead for MCPS. Following the agreement in March between MCPS and PRS which provided for a temporary adjustment to the allocation of Alliance costs between the two parties a PRS/MCPS task force has been set up and is working on a programme of reforms designed to ensure a sustainable future for the Alliance as a whole and a clear strategy for MCPS .
MPA matters
For this brief moment in time perhaps, I feel very happy and excited. We have a new Olympic team on the 6th floor, going for Gold. Sarah Osborn joined us at the beginning of June as General Manager. We will shortly be configured to bring you the best service ever in terms of:
Communication to members and beyond - Will Lines
Public affairs and policy - Harriet Finney
Printed music and reprography licensing - Jake Kirner. I would particularly like to thank Jake for all his hard work this year and shouldering a lot of the responsibility previously carried by Jenny Goodwin.
Member services - Later this year the inestimable Sarah Cooke will be joining Sue Hantsch and I know Sue has great plans for widening our offering to members in terms of education and training and special events.
We are very conscious in these uncertain times that membership of a trade association may be considered a luxury cost but I would suggest that there was never a more important or more valuable time than now to be part of the MPA. We shall nevertheless be redoubling our efforts to find additional sources of funding including sponsorship and widening our network of Corporate Associates.
Did you know that there is only one object in the world that weighs one kilogram and it is kept guarded in a vault outside Paris. It is called the International Prototype Kilogram, it is a small cylinder of platinum and iridium, and it is the object against which all scales in the world are calibrated and measured - I would like to think that our MPA could be the International Prototype Trade association.
We can only do it with your support - we can lead but with your guidance. There is a lot of work to be done this year:
we need to implement the reprography scheme for schools, we need to worry along issues regarding withholding tax and access to finance, we wait to see what the government comes back with as regards the copyright review in particular as regards a private copying exception, and exceptions for education; we will work to ensure that the Term directive is properly implemented into UK law; and as I have mentioned the European Commission will be formally delivering its work on CRM; and of course we should try and win the Eurovision song contest next year with a beautiful song of such effulgent joy that captures the heart of Europe.
It is a fact that a lot of our MPA time is spent in liaison with PRS for Music covering a whole range of society related issues. I am sure we all yearn for the day when we will have tools in place that will simplify the business of registration on an international basis - I love that GRD expression: "Do it once, do it right".
I shall recite here my definition of a good publisher:
"A good publisher seeks out great music and great songwriters and supports them in the creative process, promotes their catalogues across a variety of platforms, manages the business exploitation of the catalogues (including the registration of works and the collection of all due royalties) and generally seeks to protect and enhance the value of their works with passion and professional commitment"
I would like to be sure that the value that we bring to the business of our members covers all the component parts of this definition. May I serendipitously seize this opportunity to mention:
our MPA mediation service which we set up last year. In truth it has not the set the world alight but I would urge you to give it a go. There are many, and often historical outstanding duplicate claims which means that money is being held up at PRS - let mediation enter your conscience and vocabulary.
I would also like to mention our very recent Publisher/Retailer event organised by Jake and Sue and would like to try and convey how much and why I enjoyed it. The general purpose of the day was simply and crudely - how to get customers to your shop/website and how to sell to them. What I loved about it though was the passion and spirit of our publishers and retailers to collaborate, a conjunction of music and business and I picked out :
1. Engagement with the local community - e.g. providing a place of music performance in store,
2. Service to the community - providing a hands on service to teachers seeking music for the class
3. Reaching out to the wider community whether locally or online and embracing all the tools of social networking. Against the dull repeated thud of the Amazon beat it was uplifting to hear a sharper clearer more personal sound of retailers chanting the hymn of the social networker -
Find me, follow me, learn from me, buy from me
And as an example of innovative pluralistic cross selling of music related products - how about this bobble headed Chopin
The business of sheet music continues to rock. After arid, sterile and frustrating conversations with the IPO regarding the Copyright Consultation the conference was a breath of fresh air.
Conclusion - BIG
There are some really positive BIG things happening in our world and I like to personalise the achievements - our great team at the MPA; the team at our international organisation ICMP under Andrew Jenkins' chairmanship and managed so expertly and professionally by Ger Hatton, the team at UK Music led by the redoubtable Jo Dipple (there is definitely life after Feargal); the team at BASCA led by Sarah Rodgers and Patrick Rackow; the team at PRS for Music led by Robert but all of whom would have a special place in my heart (if I had one).
I also highly recommend to you Chris Butler, as MPA Chairman, fellow board director of ICMP, and fellow traveller to the recent CISAC jamboree and his excellent aside to me on learning that the Indonesian collection society called WAMI had been admitted to membership of CISAC. He said I suppose if they applied again it would be a double WAMI. It made me laugh
How blessed is this sceptred isle in these days of the Jubilympics and what an incredible addition music has made and will make naturally to each event. At the Jubilee River pageant despite their best efforts the BBC managed to cover the final vessel to reach Tower Bridge carrying members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and my abiding memory will be that of the very moist but defiant Thames maidens of the Royal College of Music Chamber Choir singing land of Hope and Glory as the rain clattered down .
Like Caliban informs us in the Tempest
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

This Friday night (Dec. 6, 2013) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweights Dylan Andrews and Clint Hester will meet in the opening main card bout of UFC Fight Night 33 from Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia.
The fight is an intriguing battle of Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 participants who have found early success inside the Octagon.
After losing to finalist Uriah Hall on TUF 17, Andrews is undefeated since joining UFC. He finished Jimmy Quinlan via technical knockout at TUF 17 Finale and followed that up with an impressive knockout of Papy Abedi at UFC Fight Night 27 this past August.
The seven-year veteran of mixed martial arts (MMA) hasn't lost a fight in over three years.
His opponent, Hester, was the first pick of coach Jon Jones on TUF 17. The former professional boxer has the striking power to end anyone's night. Hester made his promotional debut at TUF 17 Finale by finishing Bristol Marunde with a vicious elbow. He was scheduled to make his second Octagon appearance against Cezar Ferreira at UFC 163 but had to withdraw due to injury.
Both Andrews and Hester have shown a ton of grit in their short stints in UFC. This bout has all the potential to end up winning "Fight of the Night." Let's take a look at the keys to victory for Dylan Andrews vs. Clint Hester:
Dylan Andrews
Record: 17-4 (1) overall, 2-0 UFC
Key Wins: Papy Abedi (UFC Fight Night 27), Jimmy Quinlan (TUF 17 Finale)
Key Losses: Uriah Hall (TUF 17), Brian Ebersole (Cage Fighting Championships 3)
Keys to Victory: New Zealand-born "Villain" is an extremely resilient fighter who seemingly gets stronger as the fight goes on. His hard-nosed victory over Luke Barnatt on TUF 17 is a testament to this.
He isn't extremely flashy in any one area of MMA, but he is solid in all of them. His takedown offense and defense is sharp and his grappling is decent. Submission defense has been a bit of an Achilles' heel for him as he's tapped out in three of his four losses.
Luckily for him, Hester most likely won't be going for too many submissions "down under."
Andrews' main strength as a fighter is his impressive finishing ability. Only one of his 17 wins has gone to the judges' scorecards, an alarming rate. Andrews has proven that his stats are no fluke by finishing the only two foes he has faced in UFC
Andrews has finished five out of his last six fights via striking stoppage, but his best chance to win this weekend will be to take this fight to the ground. His stand-up is proficient but that's also where his opponent's glaring strength lies. There isn't any sense in standing toe-to-toe with Hester and hoping that his punches do the most damage.
Two out of Hester's three losses came by submission, so that's where Andrews should look to exercise an advantage. Dragging Hester to the canvas shouldn't be too difficult unless his takedown defense has matured to a new level. Grappling is his kryptonite and Andrews already knows this from their time together on TUF 17. He should look to transition his strikes to a takedown that blasts Hester way out of his comfort zone.
If he can, the rest should be elementary, leading Andrews to a big win in front of the Australian fans.
Clint Hester
Record: 8-3 overall, 1-0 UFC
Key Wins: Bristol Marunde (TUF 17 Finale)
Key Losses: Jimmy Quinlan (TUF 17)
Keys to Victory: Hester is a former cruiserweight boxer who has scored a knockout in six of his eight MMA victories. Hester's polished striking has added a Muay Thai dynamic to his already lethal boxing game. He has an effective arsenal of knees and elbows that can end a fight in an instant.
Problem is, he's got to stay upright long enough to implement them. Against a gritty wrestler like Andrews, that won't be easy.
Hester is still raw in his development as an MMA fighter. If he has a good team of coaches around him, he'll have spent the better part of the last year training takedown and submission defense to shore up his all-around game.
If he hasn't, it will be a long night against Andrews.
Andrews is the more complete mixed martial artist so Hester will look to push the pace early on in order to end the fight quickly. Hester will look to get in Andrews' face and land a fight-changing power shot to open up an opportunity for a knockout.
Hall showed that Andrews could be finished on TUF 17. Hester will be eager to prove that theory once again.
Hester hasn't fought since April, so there's a very real possibility that he has increased his mat skills to bridge the gap with his striking, which needed little improvement. Hester has the chance to prove he is a dangerous up-and-coming prospect in a talented division.
Adding a ground game to his resume is the only way to continue doing so.
Bottom Line from Brisbane: The bottom line for this fight is going to come down to the discrepancy between the ground skills of Andrews and Hester. Hester is a bit of a wild card that has dynamic striking and knockout power. The same can hardly be said about his mat prowess.
On the other hand, Andrews showed he could beat top-level grapplers by defeating Quinlan; a fighter who submitted favored Hester on TUF 17. While MMA math rarely proves true in most instances, it is a telling statistic in this case.
A fighter who Andrews throttled submitted Hester, so you'd have to think that "Villain" has the talent to give him fits on the ground.
Hester's only area of advantage is on the feet, but even that's debatable. The overall skill comparison puts him in a deep hole before the fight even starts. Barring any huge knockout shots, Hester will need his game to have progressed to an entirely new level.
That's unlikely at this point in time because he was injured a few shorts months ago. Hester's health could also be a big factor in this fight because he will need to be fully healthy to give Andrews a run for his money.
If he's not, don't be surprised to see "Villain" take him down and lock up a fight-ending submission.
Dylan Andrews and Clint Hester will kick off UFC Fight Night 33 in a battle of TUF 17 alumni. Who is your pick to win and fight on in the stacked UFC middleweight division?

Earlier this month: McCann's 'hadn't given up hope'
Speaking earlier this month, on the sixth anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance, her parents Kate and Gerry, said they had not given up hope of finding their daughter.
Speaking on Daybreak, the couple said they have not lost hope that their daughter would be found and continue to campaign tirelessly for information on her whereabouts.
They believe the involvement of the Metropolitan Police now meant the hunt for their daughter was escalating, rather than grinding to a halt.
Mrs McCann said: "The search is very much ongoing. Nothing is slowing down, if anything I feel it's escalating with the work of the Met.
"And again it's just be vigilant, please still take your posters on holiday and don't forget about her, she's still missing.
"We haven't lost hope, our hope isn't any less than it was after the first 24, 48 hours."

Achinstein, Professor Sharon
Job Title: Professor of Renaissance Literature, CUF Lecturer and Tutorial Fellow
College: St Edmund Hall
Period/ Subject: Early Modern
Email address: email@example.com
Research Interests:
My research has explored the intersection of literature and political communication in the early modern period, specifically focused on questions of toleration, religious dissent, and women's participation. My two monographs, Milton and the Revolutionary Reader (1994) and Literature and Dissent in Milton's England (2003) and two edited collections, Milton and Toleration (2007) and Literature, Gender and the English Revolution (1994), in their different ways, demonstrated the significance of previously neglected bodies of literature in relation to the emerging public sphere and challenges to political and religious authority. The major author through which I have charted these issues has been John Milton. I am also interested in the history of my discipline of Renaissance literary studies, exploring how the economic pressures and values of the post-war University in the USA shaped the study of renaissance literature. My most recent research has placed the history of marriage in relation to literature, law, politics, and theology in my forthcoming edition of Milton's writings on divorce (Oxford University Press), which has set Milton's arguments more fully in line with Reformation politics, theology and gender struggles. This project has developed my interests more broadly into the topic of secularism and early modernity, the subject of my current research. Another strand is to study the history and theory of literary genre as a means to understand the media through which sociological change is experienced.
Teaching Areas:
She runs the Faculty Works- in-Progress colloquium, serves on the English Faculty Board, and has supervised graduate students working on dissertations on Milton; Post- Reformation Religious Literature; History of Political and Legal Thought; gender; Bunyan, and she warmly invites students in the fields of political, cultural and religious intersections with literature from the early modern period to make contact.

"beautiful resolution, super fast delivery, 2nd time I have ordered from tiny prints, I am very impressed! I love that you have overseas delivery!"
"I couldn't have been more pleased with this product. It is awesome - quality, color and delivery. Perfect! The name of the card is "Beyond Happy" and that sums up my rating!"
"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"This card allowed us to add more info on each kid. The design was fresh and different. I cannot tell you how many people have complimented us on the card. Just LOVED it!"
"Received my order in less than 48 hours and also a call from the design artist with a follow up proof. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and will use them exclusively from now on because of their wonderful customer service - a rare find these days!"

So I was recently reading about some of the possible cap casualties and was wondering what the Bucs Nation thinks about signing some/any of them?
Falcons- Michael Turner and John Abraham
I think Turner would be a possibly cheap, short yardage back to compliment Martin. Also, adding one of those veteran pass rushing DEs would give us amazing D-line depth that would allow our guys to stay fresh and take the pressure off our secondary.

Two warming centers are open in the city of Memphis Monday evening as the low is expected to dip to 7 above zero.Police officers and firefighters are on the lookout for homeless people who need shelter. Even with all the help available, some won't come in from the cold. MORE: Memphis shelters in overflow mode during cold weatherMORE: Winter Weather Resource GuideDriving by you might not see him lying there on the corner of Union and Danny Thomas. Next to the shopping cart and under the pile of blankets is Earl McCullough's home. Though the temperature will drop to the single digits, this is where he chooses to be.Rachel Cody Alexander saw him there. She pulled over to bring him a blanket. "You want another one?," she said."No ma'am. Oh this is nice, thank you ma'am."Earl's been living on the streets of Memphis for two years..."It was rough last night because I couldn't even keep the covers on it," Earl said.Homeless advocates have tried to convince him to head to the shelter for the night, but he's stubborn. Rachel is doing what she can to help. "Just one or two blankets, is going to help him," she said. "Could you sleep out here, you know what I mean? Could you survive out here? Probably not. I know I couldn't."With the temperature dropping there's a push across Memphis to get the homeless into shelters like the Union Mission. The shelter is housing about 100 more than they normally would. The dining room was full Monday evening as Mayor A C Wharton helped serve dinner. While he was at the mission Mayor Wharton heard about Earl. The mayor decided to head out and try to convince him to come in from the cold, his chief of staff and fire director in tow. "You know how cold it's going to be tonight?," the mayor asked.But Earl is set in his ways. "I want to sleep here tonight."Even the mayor himself couldn't convince him to seek shelter. "There's no such thing to say you can't change your mind," Mayor Wharton said, who ordered police and firefighters to drop by to check on Earl throughout the night. "If you're out here and you're in peril you're cold, you don't have a place to go," Mayor Wharton said. "Whatever the situation may be, just understand that it does not have to be that way."Mayor Wharton said help is just a phone call away. He's asking everyone in the city to look out for each other. Earl appreciates the attention, but he says all he needs tonight are those extra blankets. "I'm kind of an old man set in his ways," he said. "I don't mean to be that stubborn or nothing. It's just something I like to do."There is still room at the Union Mission and the city's two warming centers are open for anyone who needs to get away from the cold.Earl was thankful for his extra blankets and the mayor says he's going to make sure police officers check on him.

1.) If you went by a linear champion code only and no alphabet federations, Shannon Briggs would have been a world champion among boxings' elite heavyweights: ........UGGHHH.
2.) Linear champ doesn't mean anything anymore: They hasn't since the mid 70's, because it's become an American popularity contest, spurred on by a biased USA media who hates the belts. There's no power or policy as to when to defend a RING belt. There's no power or policy to strip a champion of a ring belt. Nowadays, you can have multiple champs in the same weight class with strong appeal for ABC unification. But RING can't force unifications. (Well, the alphabet federations can't force them either.) But at least two-four XYZ belt holders can unify IN THE BOXING RING. You can hold a ring belt, sit on your ass with it, and not do anything with it.......EVER. At least the alphabet champs are fighting the contenders and unifications can still happen, they are fun to see.
3.) One champion per division creates monopolies on the sport: You could get a Don King, Bob Arum, or Delahoya like what happened with Ring to come in and say "only my fighters are going to be contenders and compete for Ring belts." That's what King did in the 70's with his rigging of the Ring ratings.
4.) The smaller worldwide fighters without strong promoter leadership in other countries like and in some cases worship their alphabet belts: You can't just be "Mr. USA we are ethnocentric to the rest of the boxing world. We only recognize Ring belts and not alphabet titles, so you know what Mr. XYZ light-flyweight champion, your belt doesn't mean fucking shit." The lesser weight guys may have worked hard for those titles, and it's not fair to take a championship status away from them.
5.) What the boxing world may like and what is are two different things: But sorry Teddy Atlas, you can and will NEVER be able to put forth a national commission for boxing on a world wide internationally and globally represented sport. Boxing is not inherently structured like football, baseball, or basketball where American domination works. It's too globalized and international. In the 30's-70's, you could lump boxing into a nice 8 weight division, Madison Square Garden ring, 15-round title fight package many times over. Today you have competing writers for Internet sites that are doing their OWN ratings! Talk about confusing!
Historically, boxing and politics were simpler to deal with than today. But you still had corruption from the mob, other promoters, and crappy judging from time to time. That's build into boxing's inherent structure. Favoritism for certain athletes can be transcended to ALL sports, not just boxing. Everyone wants to lump all of this on King, Arum, and Warren, whenever there is a bad decision. But bad decisions were happening in boxing long before these guys were even born and will continue from time to time after they have died. It's built into the system.
Back to the alphabet verses Ring champion issue, I would have to ask, what is better? An alphabet champion who works his way up the rankings with exciting wins to get a title shot, or a fighter who holds a Ring belt just because their staff of writers think he is a "popular" fighter to American audiences? Sometimes Ring has awarded fighters belts for LOSING. (They gave their belt to Vitali Klitschko for losing to Lewis.) They represented Corrie Sanders as a top challenger who was a part time golf player.
Ring USED to be about fistic merit. But that was a LONG time ago. Now it's American public opinion, and soon it could be Delahoya's millions that is determining their champions and contenders. That's not what boxing should be about.

UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck did a Q&A last week and answered questions for close to an hour. Kos is a pretty honest guy, and some of his responses were pretty funny and direct. As with any discussion involving AKA welterweights, the topic of teammates fighting teammates came up. Specifically, Koscheck fighting Jon Fitch. And Kos gave his most direct answer yet regarding the topic:
"Me and Jon Fitch have been training together for eight years. We fight every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You want to see it. Come to the gym and you won't even have to pay $55. No chance, not even for the title. It's not worth it to me. I'd rather step away from the sport than fight Jon Fitch, how's that?"
He also talks about how much he wanted to fight Wanderlei Silva at UFC 139, what led to the sucker punch by Paul Daley at UFC 113, possibly fighting Georges St. Pierre for a third time, and much more. It's actually a really informative "interview" and Kos comes off rather well. You can check out the whole thing after the jump.

I am relating my story, experiment of what I have done for the last 2 years at park concerts/fireworks.
I believe our vibrations make a difference in physical reality. I have seen a physical difference when I vibrate out positive thoughts and love to everyone at the event. There has been a marked change in the trash left afterwards.
We all do make a difference....
Remember we can have an affect on water through our thoughts, our thoughts are energy
I am asking people to please contact me with your positive stories in how your life has changed or places have changed through your own energy/vibrations.
I want to start putting people's stories on the blog, so we all can hear about how positive thoughts and energies makes a difference.
sherriequestioningall at yahoo dot com (obviously change the 'at' and the 'dot'.
One person who I will be interviewing began changing her thoughts and she decided she wanted to work at a vineyard. She began seeing it and that the job would be created for her, she would not have to go to interviews and seek it. It would come to her. Well, it happened, exactly has she put her energy into it. She is now at a vineyard, the job was created for her and she is very happy.
We do make a difference.
Sherrie Questioning All
Through TRUTH we Will Create a Better World Together. There is no real division of left or right, religions, or anything else, it was all created to keep us separated. Coming together as ONE in Truth we are the Power! We CAN and WILL create the world as it is meant to be through Truth of What is and Ourselves! In Truth We Stand!

The Divine Law of Vibration from the Book : Divine Laws;Mastership - Text book for Students of Secret Schools - Written by the Grand Master Illuminati
The introduction to the book is here.
In this video, I show portions from the Law of Vibration as written by RS Clymer.
I believe the Law of Vibration is the Law of Attraction/Karma and everything. Our vibrations are what makes us who we are and our lives as they are.
We are the power to not just make our lives better but the world better.
This is the video.....

Book: The Divine Law; Mastership: A Fundamental Text Book for All Students Enrolled in Secret Schools by the Grand Master of Illuminati
If there is one thing I do, I question our world and everything in it and why things happen. I have prayed for the Truth of Self and for all of us to know the Truth of Self. For all of us to become enlightened and illuminated with the Truth of our self. I have put my energy into that everyday.
I have studied and read many many books and information on the internet. I have grown from fear, when becoming aware of truth of our world and those who run it, years ago.
I have been very blessed to have 'sages and angels' in my life by sending me different information and books for me to read to help in discovering myself.
I have searched for answers everyday for what is truth.
For those who began reading this blog years ago, you have noticed I went from writing angry articles about what is happening to getting out truth without anger. I have put out information that helps us all. I try to write not in anger anymore, but I try and bring out truth as it is.
I have been reading this book. It is free online through Google Play. The Divine Law; Mastership: A Fundamental Text Book for All Students Enrolled in Secret Schools by Reuben Swinburne Clymer
He was the Exalted Grand Master of the Illuminati of the World at that time.
In the introduction of this book, it says it is not for the general public, it is only for those students in secret schools. How it got out, I don't know. It was written in 1922.
I have just done an introduction about it. But I am going to do a series of videos about this book and what I believe are truths in it. I have believed there are also un-truths in it too. But the most important truths of ourselves and the Divine Laws that are our structure, I believe is revealed and it is important to bring it to those who are interested.
No matter what religion someone is, the Divine Laws are what is. The dogma of religion keeps us bound to control and looking outside of ourselves instead of understanding God gave us each the power of creation and we are who we have been waiting for.
Becoming Illuminated is the Divinity we should all seek.

Swat Team Raided with Immigration, Tibetan Monks for over extended visas while they were on a Peace Mission in U.S.
Considering the U.S. is open for everyone now for illegal immigration. The illegals are pouring in here fast from south of the border.
SWAT teams in the U.S. are militarized and are being used for the most basic purposes now. They raid homes for the smallest reasons.
In 2006, they raided Tibetan Monks on a Peace mission for expired visas with immigration officials.
Now are they going to do this for illegals here now that commit crimes or just go against the American citizens?
I found this as I have been doing research about SWAT teams in the U.S. and if they are privately owned mercenaries. I am astounded at what I have been finding.

The Better Business Bureau is hoping to warn East Texans about a postcard scam circulating throughout the area.
On Tuesday, the BBB office in Tyler received a call from a woman who had her bank account compromised after calling a number on a postcard she received in the mail. She received a postcard about two weeks ago claiming that she had won a free $100 gift cart to Walmart or Target.
The number that the victim called is registered to a company called USA Benefits. The company tells callers that they will receive a $100 gift card after paying $6.95 using their debit or credit card.
The company is believed to be using the information obtained to purchase other "free offers" like the one advertised on the postcard.
As of Tuesday, it is unknown how much money has been taken from the Tyler victim's bank account.
If you receive a postcard like the one described by the victim do not respond to it. If you or someone you know has already responded to a postcard similar to this, you are asked to immediately contact the BBB in Tyler at 903-581-8373.

LOGANSPORT — With the North Central Conference championship possibly hanging in the balance, Logansport's Miss Basketball candidate, Whitney Jennings, was at her best.
And she also got a lot of help from her friend, Nakeya Penny.
Jennings scored 45 points and Penny added 31 to lead the Class 4A No. 6 Berries to an 84-72 win over Anderson on Saturday afternoon in the Berry Bowl.
Both totals were career highs for Jennings and Penny. Jennings became Logan's overall all-time leading scorer in the process, passing boys leader Caleb Springer. Jennings now has 2,067 career points.
Logansport (8-0, 2-0 North Central Conference) won its 16th NCC game in row. Anderson (5-3, 2-1) has certainly provided the biggest challenge in league play over the last three seasons.
"I may be the happiest I've been since I've been at Logansport because every time I've seen Anderson I didn't think we could beat them," said Logan coach Jerry Hoover, who lost four key seniors from last year's 25-2 regional finalist team.
Da'Sha Boyd scored a carer-high 30 points to lead the Indians. The IU East recruit was 11-of-22 from the field including 4 of 11 from 3-point range.
Chelsea Bentley had 13 points and seven boards, and Dabronia Williams added a double-double of 11 points and 11 boards. Ania Daniels added eight points and Samia Carter had six.
Anderson coach Chad Cook looked to the start of the second half as the turning point in the game. Logan led 36-35 at halftime and opened the third quarter with a 13-2 run over the first three minutes to take a 49-37 lead.
Cook then went to a full-court, double team on Jennings that helped create a quick 7-0 burst for the Indians to make it 49-44. He wished he would have went to the strategy a bit earlier before his team was down by 12.
"The start of the third quarter I wanted to come out with it then but I decided not to, but I could tell our team needed a spark. If we would have went into that right then, it might have woke us up and we would have come out strong, but instead we went down 12 right there," Cook said.

THEY thought their chances of winning Victoria's under-16 female cricket state title had evaporated in the heatwave, but the Northern Rivers girls are well and truly still in the game.
Cricket Victoria has decided to press ahead with finals matches to decide top-four placings, despite the carnival being abandoned after one day of play in 40-degree temperatures in January.
As Northern Rivers finished second in their pool with two wins and a strong percentage, the Lisa Cain-coached squad has earned the right to return to the crease this Sunday for a shot at the championship.
They take on the North East Knights in a semi-final at Fairbairn Park in Ascot Vale, starting at 9.30am.
The victor will play off for the title that afternoon against the winner of East Metro v South East Sharks.
Cain said the girls were thrilled to learn they would get another chance to showcase their skills and her entire squad was available, despite the short notice.
"They were disappointed when it was cancelled... now they have a chance to contest the top four positions, they're really excited.
"The Northern Rivers girls usually finish in the bottom half of the ladder, so to have a crack at top four is fantastic."
The squad is: Tayla Vlaeminck, Bendigo (captain); Georgia Morgan, Colbinabbin (vice-captain); Maizie Willmott, Numurkah; Maggie Marshall, Echuca; Ashleigh Walpole, Yalca; Dana McDonald, Nathalia; Bridgett Drum, Shepparton; Sophie MacKenzie Ross, Kyabram; Charlotte Starr, Inglewood; Rachel Claney, Shepparton; Reni Hicks, Nathalia; and Teagan Brett, Tallygaroopna.

Myth 5: Adding salt to the pot adds sodium to the food.
Truth Salt added to boiling water may actually make vegetables more nutritious.
Public health messages encouraging us to shake our salt-in-everything habits are, in general, good; sodium is a potential problem even for non-hypertensive people. But it's easy to overlook how sodium can actually help in recipes.
"Salt in the cooking water reduces the leaching of nutrients from vegetables into the water," says Harold McGee, author of On Food & Cooking. That means your blanched broccoli, green beans, or asparagus likely retains more nutrients. "It also speeds up the cooking process so you don't lose as many nutrients from overcooking." McGee recommends using about 1 teaspoon of salt per cup of water. The amount of sodium absorbed by the food is minuscule.

Police find three men walking around a neighborhood, and end up charging them with a brutal, violent crime. Around 1:30, Friday morning, Owensboro dispatched received a 9-1-1 call from the 2200 block of Lancaster Avenue. Before the line was disconnected the dispatcher heard a "verbal altercation" between two males.
The Owensboro Police Department patrol units responded to the neighborhood to attempt to figure out the location of the disturbance. That's when officers noticed three men walking around the neighborhood. They were taken into custody for questioning.
Authorities say their investigation has revealed the men had forced their way into a home in the neighborhood. One man was reportedly armed with a shotgun and the two others were armed with knives. They are accused of physically assaulting the residents and stealing from them. A female resident reports that the men forced her to perform a sex act on them.

Tag: Obama (page 2)
President Obama sings 7 seconds of an Al Green tune at a campaign appearance at the Apollo Theater in NY. He was good! He then said to Al, who was in the audience:
"Don't worry Rev, I cannot sing like you," Obama said. "I just wanted to show my appreciation."

President Obama took a stand for Democrats and seniors today. I'm canceling his pink slip notice.
Obama's plan to cut the nation's deficit is already being attacked by Republicans. The plan is in line with Democratic values. Why should those who make more than a million dollars a year pay tax only at the rate of 15%, when so many of us who earn far less are taxed at 35%? The Bush tax cuts should have been repealed a long time ago.
The plan also calls for $1 trillion in cuts for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. Most importantly:
The plan doesn't touch Social Security, and there is no proposed increase in the Medicare eligibility age -- a cost-saving plan the president was willing to agree to earlier in the year, to the dismay of liberals.

I so hope this is true:
The plan includes no changes in Social Security and does not include an increase in the Medicare eligibility age, which the president had considered this summer.
If it's accurate, I'm withdrawing my pink slip to President Obama. I'll even thank him.
Update: Obama Deficit Plan Aimed at Democratic Base.
Stay tuned.

Jacob Sullum has the October cover story at Reason on President Obama: Bummer: Barack Obama Turns Out to Be Just Another Drug Warrior." As if anyone should be surprised.
I'm not. I've been writing since 2007 that he would do little to temper the War on Drugs. I would have called the article "Bummer: Barack Obama is Still A Drug Warrior." Why?

President Obama appeared on Jon Stewart's Daily Show Wednesday night. The show's website says video will be up shortly. But HuffPo already has it, in three parts, here.
WaPo's Dana Milbank has all the details and lots of quotes. Stewart actually called Obama "Dude."
The Daily Show host was giving Obama a tough time about hiring the conventional and Clintonian Larry Summers as his top economic advisor. "In fairness," the president replied defensively, "Larry Summers did a heckuva job."
"You don't want to use that phrase, dude," Stewart recommended with a laugh.
Milbank says Obama was "serious and defensive", even pointing his finger at Stewart when he said something he disagreed with. The LA Times report on the interview is here.

Update: Here's the text of Obama's remarks.
President Obama will be in Denver this afternoon to appear at fundraisers for Sen. Michael Bennet. According to his schedule (times changed to Mountain Time):
- 2:50PM: President Obama arrives in Aurora, Colorado
- 3:30PM: President Obama delivers remarks at a grassroots fundraiser for Senator Bennet
- 4:40PM: President Obama delivers remarks at a fundraising reception for Senator Bennet
- 5:35PM: President Obama departs Aurora, Colorado en route Las Vegas, Nevada
He will deliver remarks at a fundraiser for Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. He will also deliver remarks at a fundraising reception for Bennet at the Sheraton Hotel.
Medical marijuana activists are holding protests, "Patients Picket Obama: "Get the DEA Out of Colorado" across from the Fillmore. One of the reasons for the protest is the Feb. 12 raid on Chris Bartkowicz. Bartokowicz has a detention/bail hearing this afternoon.

The flub apparently made people nervous. Chief Justice Roberts re-administered the oath of office to President Obama tonight, out of an abundance of caution.
Don't worry, the White House says: Obama has still been president since noon on Inauguration Day.
Nevertheless, Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called "an abundance of caution."
Shorter version: It was unnecessary but made everybody feel better.

Hello all, Last fall (November-ish) the Rose Canyon Lake road (to Munchkinland) had the gate shut and locked, I'm not sure if this is a typical closure for the winter months. Anyone know if it is open again? Thanks, Nate
It was not open last weekend. Of course you can walk from the gate which is not much farther.
Opens the third Saturday in April
Awesome, thanks for the info guys.

Bruno Munari was born in Milan in 1907, he began artistic work at a very early age in the cultural area of Futurism: in 1927 he exhibited for the first time at collective exhibition "33 Futurist Painters" at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. At the same time he pursued various activities - art-director, publicist, illustrator. In 1930 he produced the "Air Machine", from which came the "Useless Machines", anticipating his interest in the destruction of the traditional work of art. He progressively moved away from the influence of Futurism and more generally from the historic avant-garde which he took as a pretext to develop an extremely personal and singular style. After the war he began work designing products, lay-outs and above all toys for children, for which he is best known by the general public. All his work is characterized by a pedagogic finality which is explicit in his passionate interest in the development of childrens creativity through play but is also expressed in research intro the most diverse opportunities for wider and non-Θlitist communication: he writes for newspapers and weeklies, illustrates and produces many books.

It's reallysatisfying to end the meet out like this," Cordes said. "We had a little roughpatch and some bad breaks but I finished it off strong. I couldn't be happier.I definitely wanted to defend my titles and improve on my times and,fortunately, I was able to do that."

Charlie Blackmon, whose season got off to a late start because of hamstring problems, has certainly made up for lost time.
One of the hottest hitters in the minor leagues, the former North Gwinnett and Georgia Tech standout had three four-hit games over a 12-day stretch with Tulsa of the Class AA Texas League.
The Colorado Rockies prospect started his red-hot streak by smashing a pair of three-run homers and going 4-for-6 with the six RBIs on Aug. 5. Then he had a 4-for-4 game with two doubles on Aug. 14, followed by another 4-for-4 game with a triple Thursday.
Going into the weekend, Blackmon's average was up to .302 and he had 15 hits in 21 at-bats over the five games. It's hard to be any hotter than that.
Blackmon went into the season ranked as the Rockies' 12th best prospect by Baseball America after hitting .307 and stealing 37 bases for Modesto of the Class A Advanced California League a year ago.
But the center fielder twice suffered hamstring strains during the spring and didn't make his Class AA debut with Tulsa until the end of May.
"I missed two months and it took me a while to get comfortable," said Blackmon, taken in the second round of the 2008 draft by Colorado. "I was rusty."
He certainly isn't now.
Blackmon, 24, hit .394 in the first 16 games of August. For the season, he had 18 doubles, two triples, nine homers and 46 RBIs in 68 games while stealing 18 bases in 24 attempts.
With Blackmon a big reason for the turnaround, Tulsa went into the weekend with a 30-23 record for the second half after finishing the first half 29-40.
Even when the Drillers weren't winning, fans had been flocking to new OneOK Field in downtown Tulsa and the team has already set an attendance record.
"The fans are great and the ballpark is beautiful," Blackmon said. "It's the best I've played in."

pedrophile made a thread like this about the Blue Jays. In the comments, just make some reports about your teams prospects/young players in ST. While ST is such a SSS, it is nice to hear some reports on these players.
Here are my reports for the Rays....
Tim Beckham- I have seen Beckham a few times this ST. His defense looks pretty solid. Range is mediocre, but he has a good arm. He should be able to stick at SS for now, but should move off when he reaches his 30s or if he gains more weight.
His hitting has impressed me, even if the results have been ugly. His raw bat speed is very impressive and he has some raw power. Hopefully he can improve his plate discipline and his ability to but a barrel on the ball.
Hak-Ju Lee- Lee's defense has been as reported: excellent. He used his great range and good arm to make some spectacular plays. However, he still needs to get more reps, as he has been prone to little errors during ST and during last year, such as getting the ball out of his glove. Once he cuts these out, he should be fine.
At the plate, he is a bit of a slap hitter. I don't think he will ever hit many homers and he struggles, at this point, at recognizing breaking balls. I know, it is a small sample size, but his ability to identify breaking balls has been limited (or non-existent) so far. I think he will struggle to start the year off before making the right adjustments.
His speed is excellent.
Alex Colome- His fastball this spring has been excellent. He has consistently been 94-97 (seriously) and the fastball has plenty of run. A few even has quite a bit of sink. His curveball has flashed plus, but he hasn't shown too much feel for his changeup. He also throws what is either a cutter or a slider in the 89-90 range, a pitch that is weak at this point. His lack of whiffs is a little baffling to me. It might be a combination of his mediocre command and maybe a lack of deception.
Wilking Rodriguez- I've only seen him once and for one inning without a radar gun. His fastball looks plus. If I had to guess, it was probably in the mid 90s. His curveball was very inconsistent, sometimes being bad while sometimes being very good. What surprised me the most was his feel for a changeup in that one inning. He got some weak swings, some fade, and had good arm speed. He is an interesting guy to watch this upcoming year.
Albert Suarez- I didn't have a gun on Suarez and only saw him for an inning. His sinker was good when thrown low in the zone, but it flattened up in the zone. I don't remember seeing any other pitches from him. I wasn't impressed much, but the Rays seem to like him and I only saw 1 inning.
Stephen Vogt- Vogt has been a nice surprise, having a nice spring so far. The Rays don't seem to question his bat, and in the small sample size it has looked legit. His barrel ability, in the SSS, has been fantastic and he has some raw power. Defensively, he lacks a position, which will keep him off the roster.
So what have you seen from your team?

Marist High School's Leah Bolton (31) stopes and puts up a shot over the ams of Joliet Catholic Academy's Mary Susan Rouse (10) held at Joliet Catholic Academy, Illinois and Marist won 48-47 on Wednesday January 16, 2013. | Larry Kane~For Sun-Times Media
Marquette-bound JeTaun Rouse was having a poor shooting night.
But as Marist coach Mary Pat Connolly noted, "big players make big plays."
After shooting 5-of-24 to that point and missing her previous 12 attempts, the 5-foot-8 senior guard drove around the key, stepped into the lane and swished a 12-foot jumper with 10 seconds to go Wednesday night to complete a late comeback and give the visiting Redhawks a wild 48-47 East Suburban Catholic victory over No. 3 Joliet Catholic.
"We practiced that all yesterday on purpose because we knew in that situation they would close down the paint," Rouse said. "This was my first time making a game-winner, and we needed this one. We've been on a losing streak for a while."
Marist (12-6, 2-2) had dropped five straight including three in a national tournament in Florida at Christmas. The Redhawks wound up winning a game where they shot 35 percent from the field (21-of-60) and .200 from the free throw line (4-of-20, including 2-of-15 in the second half).
"And we're usually a good free throw shooting team," Connolly said. "This was a great comeback victory."
Joliet Catholic (16-3, 5-2) found the lid on the basket as well. The Angels hit free throws much better (20-of-28, .714), but were .222 from the floor on 12-of-54, largley against Marist's 1-3-1 zone.
"Her [Rouse's] stuff and ours was not going in," Joliet Catholic coach Ed Schodrof said. "But I think the big difference was the first quarter when they came out tougher than us physically."
Junior forward Jasmine Lumpkin grabbed 22 rebounds to help the Angels to a 50-44 advantage, but she shot 3-for-14 and was limited to eight points.
"We had a lot of layup opportunities, but we just couldn't finish at the rim," Lumpkin said.
Illinois recruit Leah Bolton led Marist with 14 points and Rouse had 12. Freshman guard Nicole Ekhomu scored 14 and senior forward Mary Susan Rouse 9 for Joliet Catholic, which railled from a 26-17 deficit late in the first half to lead 45-36 with 3:31 left and 46-41 with 1:20 to go.

Team # 956 -- Online D.Ed. Design Team: Learning and Performance Systems
College of Education
September 2010
ObjectiveTo design an entirely online D.Ed. Degree for doctoral study.
This team was re-formed from some members who have looked at the Ded online issue in the past (three members from the former team). We now have 10 faculty across three campuses in LPS looking at how best to design an entirely online D.Ed. Degree for doctoral study. This is an unprecendented step and LPS felt prepared for the challenge in part because we have two very strong masters programs through World Campus and a third proposed. Thus all of our programs have some World Campus presence and it is a field that we study (distance education). This team has been interested in making history with this design, to do a pedagogically outstanding job of preparing high level practitioners in the design, development, delivery and evaluation of highly effective learning systems for all populations (including corporate, adult learning, K-12, and informal learning contexts). The team worked all fall and has prepared an outstanding proposal which is currently going through the curricular approval processes. We were prompted in part by the natural extension of our masters programs, our desire to work with high level professionals, to reach out to populations that we otherwise would not be able to reach, and a recommendation from the Core Council this past fall.

Results Achieved to Date
- ExpectedResults:
We have prepared the program and course proposals which are now working their way through the curriculum approval process. We hope that we will have approval as well as the green light from World Campus who is currently looking at research and marketing data on the degree option. We have measured our progress through consent and agreement on high pedagogical standards which we all maintain. We have also examined a great deal of research on the topic, our own and others' work, to determine the ways in which our historic degree option fits within the parameters of excellent doctoral study. We will continue to measure our progress by the responses of curricular committees, and hopefully by the first cadre of students in the program.
