Do you want to know more about about online learning? The pages in the online and distance learning web site have been developed to help you find out what it is, the difficulties, the advantages, where you can find suitable programs, and more …
Online learning is becoming increasingly popular. It is such a convenient mode of study for many people, especially those who are working and do not wish to take time off work to attend campus for their studies.
In this web site, teachers can find out more about how ICT is changing classroom education, the social media tools that are facilitating so many of the changes, and obtain tips and resources for their own teaching.
Students can find out more about how you learn by online distance learning (e.g., in tips for learning online) and obtain help in finding a suitable distance learning online program or a school that offers the program you want, and more …
About online learning for students
Are you a student wanting to know more about what distance learning is all about? Or how new ICTs are changing classroom education? Or are you wanting to find out about online programs in a particular discipline, or about college admission, or financing for your studies, or free education? This section of the web site tries to help you find some answers.
What is online learning?
In these difficult financial times, there has been a massive increase in the number of learners wanting to know more about taking their studies at a distance using elearning (online learning) technologies. Not only is learning online usually more affordable, it is also more convenient for these distance education learners.
What is important to recognize is that anyone can register for online courses and earn their degrees. In this manner, they can study full time or part time, if they have other responsibilities. Many people have found that this is the best way to start a new career or complete certain credits they were lacking in their degree, while they maintain their current job.
But one of the good things about elearning is that it is not only used in distance education programs – it is also used for campus-based programs.
What is the difference between online learning and distance education?
Distance education has been a method of learning for individuals wanting to study at home for at least one hundred years, starting with correspondence learning (home study) via postal mail. With the greater use of computers and the Internet, it is now possible to offer distance education programs using only the online modality. In fact, distance education programs in the US and Canada use online learning so much, that for many people distance education is thought to be only about elearning.
But in reality, not all distance education programs are offered offered totally online. In fact, many distance education programs use a mix of modalities in that they also refer the learner to physical books. However, even these books are increasingly available online.
In many developing countries where the availability of computers and access to the Internet cannot be assumed, distance education very often still uses a mix of hard-copy study guides, books and attendance at weekend classes. There are many initiatives to try to change the problems of access to ICT, e.g., "One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)", so that those countries can also reap the benefits of using ICT in learning.
So why all the fuss about elearning?
New information and communication technology (ICT) has made online learning or elearning possible, in which learners can participate in interactive learning using audio and video-conferencing, email, chat and computer-conferencing. The distance learner can now have almost the same instructional contact and interaction as the student on campus. This is why distance learners want to know more about studying programs online.
But elearning is not just the province of distance education. It is also used in campus-based education. The on-campus student can now have another modality to use in addition to the lecture and tutorial. So on-campus students and teachers also need to know more about elearning. This Online and Distance Learning web site also has a section on campus schools and programs.

New software from GE's Power Conversion business that enables its Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems to save fuel and put less wear and tear on vessel propulsion equipment is on the shortlist to win an Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Innovation Award this year. "Energy Efficient Dynamic Positioning For Ships" was developed from a comparison of concepts through to final production code using model-based design. The new mode was entered in the Model-Based Engineering category for the IET Innovation Awards, which attracted more than 400 entries. During development of the new Energy Efficient DP, GE Power Conversion used model-based engineering to allow the production controller to be used in simulations to ensure accurate results. Studies making use of weather patterns for a full year showed a 12% reduction in fuel use could be expected for representative scenarios.

Writer John le Carré has been selected for the shortlist of one of the world's most prestigious literary awards.
The only problem is, he doesn't want it.
"I am enormously flattered to be named as a finalist of the 2011 Man Booker International Prize," le Carré said in a statement on his agent's website. "However I do not compete for literary prizes and have therefore asked for my name to be withdrawn."
The judges of the prize, which honors lifetime literary achievement, immediately announced that they wouldn't take no for an answer.
"John le Carré's name will, of course, remain on the list," said rare book dealer Rick Gekoski, the judging panel's chairman, in his own statement. "We are disappointed that he wants to withdraw from further consideration because we are great admirers of his work."
Such great admirers, in fact, that another of the panel's three judges, critic and publisher Carmen Callil, penned a piece in today's Guardian, writing that the author of such classics as The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy stands high at the very center of English literature: "His great predecessors are Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad and Graham Greene. Like them, le Carré has recast the times he, and we, have lived through."
Callil acknowledged that le Carré "does not permit his work to be submitted for prizes." But she wrote: "Happily nothing is submitted for this prize: we can choose whom we like."
All of this has, at least temporarily, overshadowed the other twelve shortlisted nominees, who include Philip Pulman and James Kelman from the UK and Philip Roth and Anne Tyler from the U.S.
At a press conference in Sydney, Australia, the prize's third judge said he wasn't even quite sure what le Carré's withdrawal means. "Technically I don't suppose he can withdraw the honor," said South African novelist Justin Cartwright. "But I don't think you could give him the prize if he didn't want it."
Callil, also at the press conference, felt differently.
"Well, I do," she countered.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
The owner of the bookstore took one look at the book I was purchasing and said, "Rabbi Slifkin has made quite the splash in our city."
He then asked, "What do you say about the dinosaurs?" – referring to Rabbi Slifkin's Challenge of Creation (2006), which has a stunning photo of a dinosaur skeleton on the front cover of the book.
"Well," I said, "my question is, were dinosaurs were created on day five, or day six?"
"You believe they existed?"
"Sure," I said. "They may have been created with the mammals on day six, or perhaps with birds and fish on day five." I explained that according to the Malbim, most species of birds and fish reproduce by laying eggs – the characteristic feature of day-five creatures – and dinosaurs lay eggs.
"Oh, you mean the 'great creatures' (tanninim hagedolim) of day five are dinosaurs?"
"Well, perhaps. Most commentaries understand that expression to refer to huge sea creatures, but Chazal indicate that it may refer to massive sea and land creatures as in the book of Job."
I did not mention to my interlocutor some other surprising things about dinosaurs.
How old are dinosaurs? Everybody "knows" the answer to this question. As Rabbi Slifkin writes: "A live Tyrannosaurus Rex might be scary, but 65-million-year-old fossils need not be. The entire discussion concerning the age of the universe need not frighten the religious person. After all, God wrote the book of nature, so whatever it tells us about its origins must surely be His words."
O.K. The universe can be as old as God wants. But what Rabbi Slifkin does not reveal to his readers is that under the right conditions, an animal the size of a dinosaur can become a fossil in a mere three weeks!
He also does not tell his readers that when Mary Schweitzer, of Montana State University's Museum of the Rockies, was examining a thin section of Tyrannosaurus Rex bone under her light microscope, she noticed a series of peculiar structures. Round and tiny and nucleated, they were threaded through the bone like red blood cells in blood vessels. But blood cells in a dinosaur bone should have disappeared eons ago.
"I got goose bumps," recalls Schweitzer. "It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone. But, of course, I couldn't believe it. I said to the lab technician: 'The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?'"
A "good kashya," but it drives Schweitzer crazy when creationists suggest that this may be evidence for a recent creation. This is because she believes that geologists have established that the Hell Creek Formation, where the dinosaur bones were found, is 68 million years old, and that therefore so are the bones buried in it.
But the discovery of soft elastic tissue and the appearance of fresh blood cells in dinosaurs is something else altogether, for such unusual preservation relies on "yet undetermined geochemical and environmental factors."
As for all those dating methods, what about "anomalous" uranium-lead radiometric measurements showing that Jurassic and Triassic formations in the Colorado Plateau are several thousands of years old – rather short of the 60 to 200-million year age required by the evolutionary time scale? You will not see the many little (and not so little) anomalies mentioned, let alone discussed, in any of Rabbi Slifkin's books.
Rabbi Slifkin and I have been debating such issues for many years. Rabbi Slifkin, who is undoubtedly well intentioned, considers the scientific evidence for naturalistic evolution to be incontrovertible fact. His belief is that Torah must be reconciled to the scientific consensus no matter what, and he has consistently refused to discuss the validity of the scientific evidence.
There is a reason that Rabbi Slifkin's book, mentioned earlier, has no approbation from any rosh yeshiva or posek. It concerns a central issue that logically precedes any conflict about gaps in the fossil record or dinosaur bones. This issue is not about the duration of time during the six-day creation week, or whether it is permissible to allegorize a verse in the Torah, or Chazal's knowledge of science. These are interesting topics, but they do not address the central issue in question, which frames a fundamental dispute about diametrically opposing worldviews.

Davis will serve as Publisher and Editorial Director of Nursery Management and Production, and Editorial Director of Greenhouse Management and Production
Todd Davis has joined GIE Media as Publisher and Editorial Director of Nursery Management and Production, and Editorial Director of Greenhouse Management and Production. He spent the last three years at Skinner Nurseries and Shemin Nurseries, but is returning to his publishing roots.
From 1994 to 2007 he served as an editor and writer for both magazines, as well as Garden Center. During that time he visited more than 450 nurseries, greenhouses and garden centers in the United States, Canada and Europe. In 2006 he was awarded the Southern Nursery Association Pinnacle Award for his industry contributions.
"I'm thrilled to be back working with this staff and these publications," he said. "We have a world of technology and resources available here, and we'll soon be providing print and online products to our industry that we never thought possible in the past."
It's never too soon to start thinking about spring and summer. Selecting varieties that can thrive, even in the heat, is crucial.
The plant bloomed for the first time in 2012. Its blooming attracted more than 10,000 visitors.
Early results from a University of New Hampshire project have shown heat pumps have the potential to substantially reduce heating oil consumption.
Several greenhouses at Amos Zittel & Sons collapsed under the tremendous weight of snow.

Mayor Nutter swings a mighty hammer.
Philly Beer Week kicked off last night with a swing of the massive "Hammer of Glory," tapping the premiere keg of Beer Week by Mayor Nutter. The hammer arrived just before the event kicked off, ridden into the lobby of the Comcast Center (on a tandem bike no less!) by none other than Philly's own Ben Franklin. Spirits were high on line in unseasonably warm weather, with beer patrons patiently awaiting the doors to open and the beer to start flowing.
From wall-to-wall, the Comcast Center lobby was lined with a vast array of micro-famous microbrewers and their wares, smiling and offering a "Cheers!" to eager Philly beer drinkers as they handed out samples. I ventured downstairs to the Comcast Winter Garden and Marketplace only to find a more massive selection of breweries -- everything from Earth, Bread and Brewery's "Weak Mild IPA" to Manayunk Brewery's "Triple Lindy." The shops in the marketplace all remained open for business during the event and many were nice enough to offer discounts for Beer Week patrons.
After most had settled and everyone had grabbed their first (or more likely third or fourth) drink, Don "Joe Sixpack" Russell and Bruce Nichols (Philly Beer Week's founding fathers) took the stage to welcome everyone and introduce Mayor Nutter. Tom Kehoe, owner of Yard's Brewing, joined the procession on-stage and Ben Franklin did the dubious honors of handing Mr. Nutter the "Hammer of Glory." "We are the greatest beer drinking city in the United States of America!" announced Nutter just before the initial swing. He regaled the crowd with a mini-speech, expounding on the economic benefit Beer Week has on Philadelphia and the importance of not getting too soused and driving home.
"Enough of the talking, let's get tapping!" he followed up, to many cheers from the now booze laden crowd. A practice swing, the real thing, and POP! Nutter, Kehoe and Franklin all raised pint glasses full of fresh suds to the crowd and offered a cheers. Philly Beer Week has officially started. Let's get drinkin'!

GO fares climb 5 per cent starting Saturday
The increase of between 55 cents and 35 cents goes along with a higher discount for Presto card users, say transit officials.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
GO Transit riders are being reminded that their commute goes up in price starting Saturday.
The 5 per cent fare increase effective Feb. 1 was approved in December by the board of Metrolinx, the provincial agency that operates GO.
The amount varies according to distance travelled with those who ride furthest paying the most. Riders who pay $7.80 or more per trip will see the highest increase of 55 cents. Those paying $6.15 or less will pay an additional 35 cents. Other fares will rise 45 cents.
"We completely understand and appreciate no one likes to pay more and they want to make sure they're getting good value for their money," said Anne Marie Aikins, spokesperson for Metrolinx, the provincial agency that operates GO.
But the price hike is being implemented with a bigger loyalty discount for Presto card users. The 8.75 per cent discount will be bumped to 10 per cent for the first 35 rides in a month on an adult card.
Transit officials are promising that the fare increase will be tied to additional service. A new lakeshore train trip and some new buses have been recently introduced, said Aikins.
"That's just the beginning for 2014. We'll be gradually introducing more new services," she said.
Aikins also admitted it's been a tough winter for commuters.
"Most people have been very understanding given that whatever mode you were using made it a difficult journey for people," she said.

Hat's off to VMware for its leadership in server virtualization. That said, I am hearing more and more stories about heterogeneous server virtualization in large organizations. Does this mean that VMware is faltering? No. As virtualization has gone from cutting edge to mainstream however, IT organizations are gaining virtualization experience, testing other platforms, and finding good fits for KVM, Microsoft, Oracle, and XenServer -- along side VMware. At the beginning of 2010, ESG Research asked 345 mid-market (i.e. less than 1,000 employees) and enterprise (i.e. more than 1,000 employees) firms which server virtualization solutions were currently deployed at their organization. The data supports the scuttlebutt I heard on my recent travels: VMware Server 38% Microsoft Virtual Server 36% VMware ESX: 32% Citrix XenServer 30% VMware ESXi: 18% Oracle VM 19% Microsoft Hyper-V: 17% Sun xVM Server: 10% KVM: 9% Based on anecdotal evidence, I don't think this is a phase -- it looks like multiple server virtualization platforms in the enterprise is the future. What does this mean? 1. Server virtualization will get more complex. IT will need specialization on multiple platforms. 2. Vendors need to pick multiple dance partners. VMware is clearly a safe bet but IT infrastructure and tools vendors need to think beyond VMware alone. Microsoft and Citrix will likely recruit partners with an endpoint focus while KVM and Oracle will be more of a data center play. 3. Services opportunities abound. IT complexity and skills deficits are on the horizon. Services vendors that can bridge these gaps will prosper in 2011 and 2012.

How I Became the First Person in My Family to Go to College
Last week, the principal of Chicago's Gary Comer College Prep wrote about how 100 percent of the school's seniors have been accepted to four-year universities. Now it's the students' turn to share their stories.
No one expects a girl like me to go to college. I'm black and from the Grand Crossing community on the south side of Chicago. The vast majority of the people in my neighborhood aren't college educated. Every day when I walk to and from school, I worry about my safety as I hear police sirens or see teenage boys on the corner hustling for money. No one else in my family has gone to college and my dad has been in prison most of my life. I worry about my brother because of his involvement with gangs. But this fall I'll defy the odds when I write "Arnesia Banks" at the top of my first paper as a freshman at Boston College.
Today, I'm a senior at Gary Comer College Prep. If you'd known me as a freshman, you wouldn't have thought my acceptance at Boston College four years later would be possible. I was academically behind and I was used to misbehaving in school—I thought it was no big deal to run the halls, not go to class, talk back to my teachers, and skip school. I did these things because at my grammar school I knew there was no real consequence for my actions. The first time I skipped school at GCCP, I had to meet with the dean of discipline and several teachers who had come to show they cared about me. They laid out my options: get three days of suspension or three days of detention. I had been suspended and gone to detention in grammar school—I knew that suspension was "easier" because I wouldn't have to do school work. In the end, at what proved to be a crossroads for me, I took the detention.
Seeing that so many people cared about me was pivotal in my decision to change my behavior. I wanted to take responsibility for my actions and prove to the dean, my teachers, and myself that I was not a stereotypical, unmotivated black teenager. I wanted to show them I was intelligent, persevering, and hardworking. I never skipped school again.
I received all As my sophomore year, and because I wanted to be a better leader for my school and community, I decided to run for student council president—and I won! I was in a leadership position for the first time, but I really didn't know much about being a leader, let alone president. In the summer before my junior year, my school selected me to participate in the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership program to build my leadership skills. At the program, I learned that being a leader means giving others power and teaching them how to be a leader themselves. Now, two years later, I am leading a National Honor Society initiative to promote peer-to-peer tutoring, and because of my interest in leadership and politics, I've met with my local city councilwoman to discuss the role of women in politics.
When I started applying to college, I was scared. My school took away some of that anxiety because of how many structures and people are in place to help students get into college. One of the supports provided to seniors is a class called Senior College Scholars. The class is designed to assist us in applying to college and scholarships, and educate us about financial aid and college life. In addition, I had teachers—like my math teacher Ms. Landon, a Boston College alumna—help me.
When I received my acceptance letter from BC, I was both extremely exuberant and overwhelmingly appreciative. But my mother cries every time she thinks about me leaving, and she worries about me going to college and dropping out. I assure her, however, that although I will be 1,000 miles away from home, I am leaving to do great things, and eventually I'll come back to take care of her just like she has taken care of me. Also, I am not only going to college, I am going to graduate from college.
I recently met a girl at my school that reminds me of who I was four years ago. Before I graduate, I plan to tell her my story. I'll tell her that I have been in her shoes and I know that disruptive behavior and not being focused on school does not lead to positive things. I hope I can be that spark in her life to turn things around as my teachers were in mine.
I am excited to go to Boston College, major in political science, and reach my long-term goal of being a leader who speaks up and changes policy to further justice. I wonder if the person who made the final decision accepting me understood how much going to college will change my life. This is the next step in achieving my dreams, and I hope that sharing my story inspires other students to do the same.

CMI Director Alex King Talks About Rare Earth Supplies (Video 2) 11
from the the're-still-looking-for-unobtanium dept.
Thank you for noticing. Fixed.
Even with my metal recumbent trike, position is a huge thing when tripping stop lights. This is one of the "discussed to death" topics on sites like http://www.bentrideronline.com.... A lot depends on the sensitivity of the loop and the circuitry it triggers, and a lot of the detectors are specifically set to be triggered only by a metal mass lots larger than a baby stroller, wheelchair or bicycle.
Like others I found the headline confusing. I read it as "Researchers are predicting the use of Wikipedia as a vector for the spread of disease". This may mean that:
Two boosters for every boy!
I bought a 67 Soyuz and we call it a capsule
(Space City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Space City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it gets me in orbit where I wanna go
And we're goin' to Space City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Space City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Space City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Space City, gonna have some fun, now
SpaceX is hiring every girl and boy...
And if my Soyuz breaks down on me somewhere out in orbit
(Space City, here we come)
I'll strap my oxy tanks to my back and hitch a ride in my spacesuit
(Space City, here we come)
And when I get to Space City I'll be shootin' the horizon
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And we're goin' to Space City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Space City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Space City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Space City, gonna have some fun, now
Two boosters for every
Two SpaceX launches for every girl and boy...
Tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Ignore the lyrics on that one. They're WRONG!
Doesn't matter to me either, but I'm sure it does to some people.
Think of a Formula One race car. It's a toy for the rich, not useful in the sense that a car should be. But developments that start in race cars often find their way into passenger cars. Like the rear view mirror. And the seat belt. And practical fuel injection. This list could be hundreds of items long.
One of the definitions I found was:
One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.
I am sure that fits. While SpaceShip II is mainly intended for a non-exploration purpose, the program has resulted in some significant advances in rocketry and White Knight II has significant non-tourism use. These pilots have been involved in other space efforts, I remember the one who was injured from the Rotary Rocket test flights. There are lots of safer ways for these folks to make as much money as a test pilot is paid. They do what they do to advance our progress in aeronautics and space.
Martyrs? Who killed them for their beliefs?
Go away, troll. They certainly died while pursuing something intensely important that they were willing to risk their lives for. The fact that you weren't around to pull the trigger makes them no less martyrs.
This process can check if this value is zero, and if it is, it does something child-like. -- Forbes Burkowski, CS 454, University of Washington

Insuring solid futures
First Nations find financial strength in numbers
Manitoba First Nations communities -- and individuals -- will be able to do more business with themselves on a broad spectrum of insurance products through a new partnership that's ultimately owned by Manitoba First Nations people.
Tribal Wi-Chi-Way-Win Capital Corp. (TWCC), the Winnipeg-based aboriginal financial institution, has been the leader of an initiative that has created a partnership between TWCC and three insurance brokerage firms. Those firms specialize in providing a range of insurance products to First Nations and aboriginal communities.
TIPI, (TWCC Insurance Partners Inc.) has been in the works for a couple of years and Monday was its official launch.
One of the specific aims of TIPI is the eventual creation of a single pension and benefit plan for all First Nations, Métis and aboriginal organizations.
"This is about First Nations people taking their rightful place in the financial-services marketplace," said Alan Park, chief executive officer of TWCC. "Aboriginal people in Canada have great financial resources but no clout. This will be another way for our own financial resources to stay in the community."
TWCC has a lengthy track record as a lending institution and is a finalist in this year's Manitoba Chambers of Commerce's Business Awards in the medium-sized business category.
It's owned by five of the seven tribal councils in the province, supports about 725 aboriginal entrepreneurs and has provided more than $45 million in commercial and personal loans in Manitoba.
TIPI is a partnership between TWCC and three existing insurance companies -- FirstPlan Benefits, First Commercial Benefits and First Commercial Brokers -- all of which have about 15 years' experience providing pension plans, group benefits and property and casualty insurance to First Nations communities.
Park said bringing them all together creates a broader, full-service offering.
Kent Cook, the managing director of First Commercial Brokers, itself a partnership with the Swampy Cree Tribal Council, said. "We are trying to create some economies of scale and extend our respective reach a little further into the First Nations communities."
Half the fees
In explaining why such an entity makes sense, Park uses the analogy of the Manitoba Teachers' Society pension plan that is available to all teachers in Manitoba as opposed to First Nations who have to buy one-off plans, paying retail rates for the management of the plans.
TIPI officials say they believe they will eventually offer pension benefits at half the management fees First Nations communities are currently paying.
Whereas TIPI will have some expertise right away, pension-fund management is not one of them and it will use a third-party manager at the outset.
"This is about capacity-building. That's what's going on," Park said. "It is about us managing our own funds, taking the middle guy out. The middle guy is now us. And who owns us? The community, who are the real benefactors."
Peter Forton, the managing director of the CAPE (Capital for Aboriginal Prosperity and Entrepreneurship) Fund, the Montreal-based fund started by former prime minister Paul Martin, said there are huge opportunities for aboriginal communities these days but the capacity to handle those opportunities is evolutionary.
He said while he did not know the specifics of this arrangement, he does know about TWCC and its track record as a well-managed operation.
"This kind of joint venture is exactly what needs to happen," he said. "You partner with someone with expertise. It's a partnership agreement between those who know and those who want to know. Over time, the knowledge is transferred and perhaps ownership and control (is transferred) as well. We see this model in other industries."

Frank Kaminsky's latest step forward results in Final Four berth for No. 2 Wisconsin
Mar 30, 2014, 12:50 AM EST
Even with the losses in the front court from last season's team, Frank Kaminsky's name didn't come up all too often when prognosticators discussed the Wisconsin Badgers before the start of the 2013-14 season. And based upon Kaminsky's production in his first two seasons in Madison, that's understandable.
After averaging 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds per game as a freshman, the 7-footer raised his scoring to 4.2 points per contest as a sophomore. And while the presence of Jared Berggren and Ryan Evans needs to be noted with regards to the low average, it would be understandable if most didn't expect Kaminsky to become one of the country's best inside-out big men. However that's been the case this season, and Kaminsky's performance in the Badgers' 64-63 win over No. 1 Arizona was simply the latest standout performance in what has been an outstanding junior campaign.
Kaminsky was the one matchup Arizona, arguably the best defensive team in the country, struggled to find an answer for as he scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Kaminsky made 11 of his 20 shots from the field, which included a 3-for-5 night from beyond the arc.
MORE: No. 2 Wisconsin holds off No. 1 Arizona in Anaheim
When defended by Arizona's 7-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski the junior was able to use his perimeter skills, either knocking down jumpers or on a few occasions taking the ball to the basket. Arizona's hope early on was that Tarczewski, who struggled with foul trouble in their win over San Diego State, would be able to defend Kaminsky without needing help.
When that strategy didn't work Arizona went small, having the ultra-athletic Aaron Gordon move to the center position and defend Kaminsky. But as the game progressed, there was an issue with this as well.
Deciding to switch all ball screens when they went small, Arizona ended up with a guard defending Kaminsky on multiple occasions. And while Wisconsin didn't alway throw Kaminsky the ball in the post when this occurred, they were able to attack the Arizona defense off the dribble. Wisconsin shot just 39.3% from the field on the night, but the presence of Kaminsky resulted in the Badgers scoring 1.05 points per possession.
MORE: No. 1 Arizona's defense was the issue in loss to Wisconsin
And while that number may not seem all that impressive, the opposition must be considered. Arizona allowed more than 1.05 points per possession in just four other games this season, with two being against UCLA. With few opportunities to truly expose Arizona, it was vitally important that Wisconsin take advantage of the one matchup that fell in their favor. That matchup was Kaminsky, a development few thought possible back in October.
That's a credit to Bo Ryan and the coaching staff as well as Kaminsky's teammates, but the biggest key is Kaminsky himself. Faced with the challenge of helping Wisconsin account for the loss of Berggren and Evans, the junior stepped up. And as a result of Kaminsky's hard work, Wisconsin will make its first Final Four appearance since 2000.
- shaggytoodle - Mar 30, 2014 at 12:40 PM
Kaminsky is a great player, he has range, and his footwork in the post is wonderful, The Badgers are having a great run this season and I hope they can finish strong, with only one SNR, starting I think they can look forward to another great season next year.

Ex-teacher charged in Claremont sex assault had felony record
He was arrested in 2005, the federal complaint says, for stealing items such as night vision goggles and lasers — primarily for use by military and law enforcement personnel — from his part-time security guard job at Insight Technology in Londonderry.
LeBlanc pleaded guilty and was fined $100.
He said according to state law, only murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, child pornography, child abuse or any other crimes having to do with children are reported to the schools.
If any are reported to an SAU or school district that do not fall under the state statue, it is up to school officials to decide whether to hire the person or allow them to volunteer.
In the 5th Circuit Court District Division in Newport Tuesday afternoon, LeBlanc waived his right to a probable cause hearing on four counts of felonious sexual assault.
In the end, the judge reduced LeBlanc's bail from $250,000 cash-only to $150,000 cash-only.
The case is now bound over to Sullivan County Superior Court.
