San Jose State University and Silicon Valley-based online education startup Udacity Inc. have reached an agreement to develop a pilot program to be called San Jose State University Plus, offering college classes for credit to SJSU and non-SJSU students beginning in January 2013. Registration begins today. The formal announcement will be made at a news conference at 10 a.m. PST Jan. 15 at San Jose State. View a live stream from the SJSU homepage.
The partnership will combine the knowledge and expertise of SJSU faculty members with Udacity's cutting-edge online platform and pedagogy to work together toward helping a greater percentage of students excel in their chosen majors. This pilot purposely focuses on two math classes and one statistics class that nearly every student must complete to succeed in college.
"As the public university that sends 8,000 graduates annually into the Silicon Valley workforce, San Jose State University must and will take a leading role in leveraging technology to transform higher ed with the goal of making a college degree affordable and accessible to all," said SJSU President Mohammad Qayoumi.
The passage of Proposition 30 signaled renewed voter support for public higher education in California. But limited public resources, coupled with an ever growing need for college graduates to fuel the state's tech economy, means educators must seek the most effective means to expand access reflecting the California Master Plan for Higher Education's commitment to a college education for all who qualify.
Expanding Access
This marks the first time that a broad and diverse range of students, not just matriculated students, will have access to online college classes for credit from an accredited university at a very affordable price of $150 per course, about the same as a course at the California Community Colleges.
The pilot's target population includes underserved groups such as high school students who will earn college credit, waitlisted students at California Community Colleges who would otherwise face out-of-state or private options, and members of the armed forces and veterans. The National Science Foundation will provide funding to support the assessment of this groundbreaking effort.
"By providing engaging, accessible and affordable classes, we are studying whether this pilot offers a new pathway to credit for students currently shut out of the higher education system," said Udacity CEO and Co-Founder Sebastian Thrun. "We have always pushed ourselves to improve online learning technology to provide the very best higher education has to offer to students everywhere, including students right here in California. We have much to learn, but are excited by the potential this partnership represents."
Entry-Level Mathematics (Pre-Algebra), College Algebra and Elementary Statistics are the three courses to be offered in this pilot. SJSU faculty members working with Udacity designed and created all three classes to include engaging video instruction interspersed with quizzes and other interactive elements, as well as course mentors supporting students throughout the course.
Innovative Faculty
"This pilot is possible because of our extraordinary and dedicated faculty members who care deeply about student learning and success, and their willingness to explore new ways to teach students, especially traditionally underserved students who aspire to college degrees and beyond," said SJSU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ellen Junn.
"Serving Silicon Valley, one of the most vibrant centers of innovation in the nation, San Jose State is home to instructors who are innovators, stepping up to team with Udacity," Provost Junn continued. "Together, we will explore and evaluate, in a systematic way, how we can provide a high- quality, interactive and exemplary online learning experience for all students that is affordable, lends greater access and ensures student success."
The pilot program will address and study a number of pressing questions facing online learning including massive open online courses. Distinctive features include the following:
- SJSU faculty members will create and teach the courses in coordination with Udacity, and will be the instructors of record throughout the term. SJSU faculty members will carry the sole authority and responsibility for assessing student learning. Each course will be enriched with support provided by Udacity staff members and course mentors, who will track, encourage and monitor students.
- Three critical entry-level courses with high failure rates were selected for this pilot. Revising these key classes to improve student interest, engagement, motivation and learning should result in multiple positive outcomes for later academic success.
- In this pilot, student enrollment will be limited to 100 students per course, with 50 SJSU students and 50 non-SJSU students. Priority enrollment will be given to high school students, community college students, members of the armed forces, veterans and waitlisted SJSU students. All students will earn college credit.
- This pilot will include the formal collection and analysis of student learning data and faculty feedback to assess progress and mastery of course learning objectives and outcomes. Faculty members will be involved in this assessment by an external firm.
- There will be no textbooks required for any of the courses as the content will be embedded and self-contained online. Faculty members may recommend optional open-source or free textbooks for students who would like additional outside materials.
- Human mentoring will be available via chat rooms, a helpline, instructor-facilitated peer meetings and outreach when a student is falling behind and needs more encouragement and support.
- Exams will be proctored online, with no campus visits required. Student identity authentication and compliance with all applicable privacy laws will be ensured and protected. Accessibility and compliance with all applicable laws for students with disabilities will be addressed.
SJSU's Next Generation Initiative
This effort is part of a campaign led by President Qayoumi, who argues educational institutions urgently need new approaches to teaching and assessing learning that are personalized, collaborative, engaging and that relate to real-world, 21st-century problems. Learn more via the president's white paper "Reinventing Public Higher Education: A Call to Action."
"SJSU Plus represents the dawn of a new era in providing high-quality college courses at an affordable price for anyone, anywhere, anytime," President Qayoumi said. "SJSU is proud to be a pioneer and trailblazer with Udacity in this important initiative."

Along with his brother Auguste, film pioneer Louis Lumi�re thrilled audiences at the turn of the century with moving pictures that seemed to burst from the screen, and many have credited the Lumier�s as the fathers of modern film. Of course, filmmaking techniques have come a long way in the 100 years since the brothers helped to birth modern cinema, but their short silent films still hold a magic that is both undeniable and beautiful, and they are enchanting in their simplicity.

Ballet Review: Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake' TAPAC, June 10
MATTHEW BOURNE'S 'Swan Lake' has wowed crowds and critics around the globe since 1995..
(photo credit:Courtesy)
Starting in the late Eighties, a growing number of choreographers became fascinated with deconstructing old classical ballets, and offering completely new renditions, with more relevant contemporary perceptions of form and content.British choreographer Matthew Bourne contributed his share, but his all-male production of Swan Lake turned out to be an unprecedented global hit.Bourne took the classic, romantic fairy tale and planted in it a dramatic, rather dark storyline about a miserable prince with serious mother issues, a victim of emotional neglect and a feeble constitution. On the night he had planned to drown himself in the lake, a flock of gorgeous male swans comforts him, giving him their attention, and new options. Enamored of the main man-swan, that virile, sexy, powerful creature, free of convention, he hopes to change his luck – yet we know that disaster lurks around the corner.While the dramatic conflicts of the original story depend on external factors, here, we follow an inner journey of the soul, a Freudian nightmare, where obsessions replace tender love, and there is no solace in the cards for the prince. In the horrid final scene, devoured by his imagined swans, he is that sickly lad, friendless, motherless and futureless.Bourne, who created several other renditions of classical ballets, struck gold with Swan Lake, becoming the first and only choreographer whose huge hit ballet moved from dance venues to Broadway, winning over massive audiences.Over 20 years later, one can still sense the enormous appeal of this ballet. Structurally, it is based on the solid foundation of the original, and its content includes wide-ranging and complex references to contemporary issues. The choreographic compositions are often brilliant, and with the fine cast of acting dancers, it remains an excellent, artistic and entertaining work.

"Right about everything."
More reasons to like Ron Paul. Narration not so good but thats what 2x is for.
"A visit to the Libertarian Utopia"
I'm speaking from a position of knowing very little about Ron Paul and the general idea of Libertarianism. My hope with listening to this book was to get a better idea of both so I could be prepared for the upcoming election cycle.
Based on this book alone, what I found out about Libertarianism was that the general criticism of it is essentially spot on. The Libertarian ideal is an empty box covered with shiny paper and a big, pretty bow. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Paul contradicts himself (a lot) in this book, but he definitely seems to have a lot of moving targets; on abortion he tells us to trust science in that if a fetus is to be considered a "baby" at 9 months then it should be at one month as well. Yet when it comes to Global Warming we're told not to trust the overwhelming scientific consensus that something very real is happening in that regard and uses the term "junk science" to describe it. There are similar instances throughout the book. The real problem I had with it was that nearly the whole concept of Libertarianism seems to be based on the idea that left to our own devices (as opposed to heavy government regulation) we will all just do the right thing and everything will magically fall into place. He completely avoids the reality of how the govt. regulations that he speaks against have been put in place because people DON'T just naturally do the right thing. I completely agree that we need to pull back the influence of government, but it needs to be done in a realistic way. In this first look into Libertarianism I can see why it's not taken that seriously. The ideas are compelling and I don't know who wouldn't want to live in that world, but then again that's what a utopia is all about.
I found the narration to be smooth and flowing, Craig took what could be considered a fairly dry subject and moved it along well. I give it 4 stars because I got the book to find out more about the subject and the book delivered.

I'm not a big fan of dishes that have a lot of tomato sauce (unless it's spaghetti sauce) so I was thrilled when I came across this recipe. The original recipe did not have toppings of either the canned onion rings or the Ritz Crackers combined with the butter (1 sleeve Ritz Crackers combined with 1 stick of melted butter). You may choose one or the other or not use a topping at all. This dish does make a lot so it's good dish to serve if you have a lot of people to feed.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Hormel's 25% Dividend Hike And 10%+ EPS Growth PotentialSure Dividend • Today, 9:22 AM • 2 Comments
- Hormel Release Strong fourth quarter results this morning.
- The company grew EPS 9% in its fiscal 4th quarter and raised its dividend 25%.
- Is Hormel a good fit for your dividend growth portfolio?
- Hormel Foods has performed impressively this year, and a closer look at the trends in its end markets suggests that the momentum should continue.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Stacey Nottingham from Life Extension, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla-based organization dedicated to the extension of the healthy human lifespan, returns to The SUZANNE Show this week to discuss carbohydrates and weight gain. Her appearance, which is one in a series devoted to healthy living, airs Wednesday, November 21, at 7 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121030/FL02749LOGO)
According to Dr. Nottingham, all carbohydrates are converted into sugar by the body and can lead to a blood sugar spike. This causes a release of insulin from the pancreas to bring sugar levels back to normal, but if we overeat carbs, the pancreas produces higher amounts of insulin to compensate. Excess insulin can either drive the sugar into the cells where it can be burned as fuel or it can be stored as fat.
Besides unsightly weight gain, sugar imbalances can lead to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. Dr. Nottingham, who was once more than 100 pounds overweight, cautions viewers to avoid the carbohydrate rollercoaster and examine food labels to avoid overeating carbohydrates. "Just because a food is low in sugar doesn't mean it's low in carbs," says Dr. Nottingham. Keeping total carbohydrates low can help keep blood sugar levels stable, avoid excess insulin production, and help from storing fat.
Dr. Nottingham also recommends a variety of supplements such as green coffee extract, chromium, and cinnamon that control post-meal sugar spikes and curb cravings. Integrating these simple changes can alter the way a person's body functions in as little as 2-3 weeks. Tune in Wednesday for the entire story, or get more information by visiting http://www.lef.org/suzanneTV.

Mental health linked to youth violence
An architect of a long-awaited probe into youth violence says he was struck by how big a role mental health plays in the issue and is urging the government to address the problem now, despite the faltering economy.

Share via Email
An architect of a long-awaited probe into youth violence says he was struck by how big a role mental health plays in the issue and is urging the government to address the problem now, despite the faltering economy.
Former Liberal MPP Alvin Curling says that over the 17 months he worked on the study, he was surprised to discover how many young people are traumatized and fearful.
The landmark "Roots of Youth Violence" study by Curling and retired Ontario chief justice Roy McMurtry, being released this morning, will recommend improving mental health services for young people and streamlining government departments to ensure better access to programs.
"Government must act. If you don't do it, it costs you more," Curling, a former cabinet minister, legislative speaker, and diplomat, said in an interview yesterday.
"The government is not seeing that the costs of incarceration and all that are just continuing to become what I call an industry. We warehouse them and put them in jail," he said.
Commissioned by Premier Dalton McGuinty after the May 2007 shooting death of student Jordan Manners at his Toronto school, C. W. Jefferys Collegiate, the report is a blueprint of what the province can do to combat youth violence. It was supposed to have been released last May.
A source last night told the Star that among the report's 29 recommendations is one to bring together different provincial ministries to work with the community on solutions to youth violence.
It also says the education ministry should collect race-based statistics, the source said. Some boards, including Toronto's, already do so.
Race and poverty are emphasized as other key issues, the source said, calling it a "comprehensive approach."
Curling, the former Canadian ambassador to the Dominican Republic said: "We have a lot of recommendations, but they're not all expensive. The fact is, we're talking about rearrangement and reorganization of the government.
"We have three ... ministries dealing with crime – public safety, attorney general, and children and youth services – and a lot of duplication happens here."
Curling and McMurtry spent months travelling in Ontario, and they also studied youth crime reduction initiatives in England.
They met with scores of experts and teens, and found some surprising causes of violence beyond racism, poverty and alienation.
"One of the main things was mental health – a high concern about mental health among our young people. We, in our society, don't like to talk about it," said Curling.
"Folks are saying, `the young kids are just hyperactive and they need some more exercise.' But many of them are traumatized by certain different things," he said, noting "young people are brighter" than society gives them credit for being.
"They're much more informed, much more frustrated, though, and much more fearful of many things. They'll talk about their conditions at home."
Even though the economy is slowing and the Ontario government is running a $500 million budget deficit, Curling said the province must resist the temptation to put off dealing with the problem until times are good again.
"We better concentrate on them now," he said, adding that things were left to fester when the economy was booming.
Courtney Betty, the Manners family's lawyer, whose appeal to McGuinty in 2007 sparked today's report, hailed the focus on mental health issues.
"With mental health there's different ways of classifying it. Kids become withdrawn and then depression (sets in) and it goes on and on and on," said Betty, adding that teen suicide is a form of youth violence.
"My sense is we're at the point where what was needed is a kind of a framework to address youth issues, and I'm optimistic that this report ... will provide that framework."
Toronto public school board trustee Josh Matlow called the timing of the much-delayed review "suspect."
"It was opportune that it was (originally) announced shortly after the Jordan Manners tragedy, and now it's being released three days after yet another violent incident at C.W. Jefferys," he said, referring to Tuesday's stabbing at the troubled high school in the city's northwest area.
