Success with Online Colleges?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-15-2013 - 12:40pm
I have been doing research on colleges and degrees, which now have me thinking that online colleges are the way to go for my kids.
Online degrees are cheaper, faster and more flexible. And, my kids can live at home which will save tons of money and help keep them away from temptations at campus colleges. They can also 'go to class' whenever they want so that they can still enjoy certainactivities or get a part-time day job that could help them excel in their career after graduating and have some savings.
My only concern was that online degree would be frowned upon by employers but I know understand that isn't the case because they are more and more acceptable and having higher accreditation requirements.
Although I am confident this is the right option, I wanted to know what people's thoughts are, especially from people who have earned an online degree or who have kids that are going to online college.
We found great health and medicine degrees at http://www.elearners.com/online-degrees/health.htm and deadlines are coming up so any feedback would be appreciated!!!
|Tue, 04-16-2013 - 11:33am
Most online degrees are most useful for people who have work experience and need to get a degree in order to move ahead in the career they're already in. The ones I saw featured on the site you linked to are online degrees for people already in their fields. Companies like 2U (fka 2tor) have developed online degrees with top universities but they are advanced degrees.
There are online courses of study that produce certificates rather than college degrees in health services. And there are MOCCs (massively open college courses) that may give credit but are not part of an entirely online program.
"Online degrees are cheaper, faster and more flexible" - well, maybe. They're not at all the *same* thing as going to college in person. Just as community college is not the *same* thing as a 4-year program at a university. I'm not saying that everyone has to go to a 4-year program at a university, and there could be good reasons for going to community college - a need to work, to live at home, to save money, etc. - and I'm sure there are good reasons for doing an online degree too. Additionally, not everyone is suited for a college education and online training programs that result in a certificate can be a great thing for many people.
However, they are not all the same thing, not all equivalent to each other, and not all viewed the same way by employers, and you should be aware of that. Before you look at *any* college option as "the" solution, you should know what you are getting for it and what its value will be at the end of it, especially if value is a top priority for you, as it seems to be.
|Tue, 04-16-2013 - 11:44am
Hmm, the only people we know who have gotten online degrees are adults already in the workforce and wanting to improve their position in a company that has already hired them. When they change companies, their degree is acceptable largely because it comes with a bulk of work experience to back it up. I'm not sure a 21-year-old with an online degree and a part-time clerk job would fare as well.... especially in competition with kids with traditional degrees and career oriented internships and references (and many internships only take kids associated with a traditional college.)
Of course, all this depends on what a kid wants to do. There are all sorts of health and medical tech jobs for which a traditional 4 year degree is not required. Some require special certificates, associate degrees or completion of a particular work related curriculum. In those cases, online degrees may be totally acceptable. If that is what your child is passionate about, certainly worth looking into.
I'm not one that feels everyone should be signing up for a traditional college experience. It actually annoys be to great lengths how companies require degrees for jobs that frankly, require on-the-job training, not a college diploma. However, an online degree is not something I would encourage with my own kids. For starters, their particular interests are not suitable for online learning. I know my eldest is eyeing grad school and none that she likes would accept an online degree. In fact, the community college offers online courses but none of the universities we've looked at will even accept them for transfer units.
If the option is online degree or nothing... go for it. If your child is 100 percent sure on her career goals and your research shows online degrees are as widely accepted in their field as traditional ones, sure. For me? Well, I'd be more apt to encourage community college or an acredited trade school than an online degree.
|Tue, 04-16-2013 - 12:19pm
Just want to add that a lot of the credits are not transferrable to regular brick and mortar universities, so if you think you might want to transfer, check on this. Personally, I'd choose a CC over an online university, though.
|Wed, 04-17-2013 - 11:42am
I suppose it depends on what your kids are interested in--I could see, for example, if someone wanted to learn medical coding & billing, you could probably do that just as well on line, but if you wanted to be a nurse, that would be impossible, since you would have to do clinical. As someone who has been responsible for hiring people for my job, I would not consider an online degree to be the same as one from a well known school. I think that if money is a big factor, I'd try community college over online school--in our state, if you do 2 yrs at community college, the credits are also automatically transferable to the state univ. to get the bachelors--I would bet that most colleges would not accept a lot of online courses. I do know that some "regular" colleges, i.e., not only online have some course options where students can take some of their courses online.
I also think that someone would have to be very self-motivated to do all online learning and they would also be missing out on a lot--part of what you get when you go to an in person course is the interaction with other people--if the professor is good (and the class isn't a huge lecture) people ask questions & interact--and you could get the opportunity to continue those discussions after class. When you are learning by yourself all the time, you don't get much exposure to other people's ideas, which is a huge benefit of going to college--to expose people to things they wouldn't think of by themselves. Before you sign up for this, I'd investigate the college--how many of their students actually go on to earn a degree? What is the success rate for people getting hired for jobs in their field? I would also think that there are organizations that rate the different programs--maybe you could Google "complaints against XX college" or something like that.
I think if you want to keep your kids at home to "keep them away from temptations" that is not a good reason to stick them at online schools--first of all, if they are out working, there's still plenty of opportunities to get into bad stuff, if that is their propensity. Eventually they are going to have to be set loose into the world. you know your kids and some kids probably need to stay at home because they are the type that is not mature enough to go to college away from home--but I'd think a local college would be better. You know your kid could have his part time job at some fast food place and some co-worker could be offering him a joint to smoke on their break. I remember back in the olden days when I went to college, my friend's mother said to my mother "how can you let her go away to college? Something might happen to her" and my mother said "well if I haven't raised her by age 18 to know right from wrong, it's a little late, don't you think?" So I guess I am biased TOWARD letting your kids go away to college because I look at it like a halfway house between being at home & being totally on your own. Yes, my DD probably did some things that I wouldn't have approved of (some of which I know about & some of which I don't) but she managed to graduate and became an RN and got a job at a very good hospital--all of her friends also graduated and got jobs too, and I think that going away to college also helped her grow up and become a responsible adult--I could tell the difference in her after only a year at college--just one example is that I would come home from work and find her cleaning the house, something that she certainly never did in high school w/o being asked. So keeping your kids home and treating them like children could actually have the opposite of the desired affect of preventing them from growing into mature adults.

I see this thread is old, but thought I would chime in anyways.
I think ultimately you just need to do some more homework on this subject and also check the motive behind it. I don't see how it would be cheaper. I am only at a CC right now and 90% of what I have done is on-line, and there is an extra $50 per course for on-line course.
So guessing you must be talking about something different in nature. Something that is touted as an "on-line degree" versus just taking some of your classes on-line to get a degree.
Here, like Music said, you can get a two year transfer degree at CC that goes right into a State college. No bias that I am aware of. They help you fine tune for where you want to transfer to. Even so, I will say that a 100% on-line MATH is a challenge and not recomended.
And, you have to be very disciplined. The two young adults I know that tried to (1) finish their degree and (2) get a degree after finishing at a trade school - did not fare well on-line.
My knowledge is limited, but alot of kids here go to CC to get the first two years done because of cost, then move on to a state college.
Good luck!

Norton Personal Firewall 2005
Norton Personal Firewall 2005 is easy to set up and makes your computer invisible to hackers, port sniffers, and other bad characters without any effort on your part. But at $50, it remains overpriced, given that it offers little perceptible change from last year's version and that ZoneAlarm offers comparable firewall protection for free.
Insert the Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) CD, and installation begins automatically; next, you must enter the lengthy CD key to activate the product. Some users may be wary of the activation process, but it's actually quick and doesn't require any personal information. Once you've installed the software, you should run Live Update to check for patches and updated firewall definition files.
For most everyday home users, NPF's out-of-the box default settings will work well. But moving the security slider on the Firewall tab from Medium to High will significantly tighten security. The Custom Level button on the Firewall tab lets you tweak the individual security features for each security level. Unlike McAfee Personal Firewall , which requires you to drill down through several layers of dialog boxes, Norton conveniently keeps configuration information on the first level of the interface or only one layer down. The Firewall tab also lets you select basic settings, such as the overall security level. The Programs tab tracks each program that operates through the firewall, making it easy to locate unauthorized or unexpected software access to the Internet. The Networking tab gives you precise control over which computers on your LAN get access to files on the PC. The Locations tab allows you to customize the firewall for different environments (such as home or office). The Advanced tab lets you tweak settings for specific types of Internet traffic.

In the Iron Chef America TV show, a kitchen hums with activity as two elite teams chop, blend, and boil to create delicious dishes in order to outdo each other and win culinary supremacy. In Iron Chef America: Supreme Cusine, an animatronic ghoul locks you alone in a kitchen filled with faulty appliances. Ingredients from dishes you vaguely remember choosing appear in front of you, and the ghoul orders you to perform a simple action, praising you afterward regardless of your performance. Your only other company is the disembodied head of Alton Brown, who spews forth a constant stream of interesting facts and goofball quips, presumably unable to stop because of the traumatic burn accidents he has clearly suffered. Eventually, you are freed from your prison and judged by a panel of ghouls who reveal the grim truth: You have been pitted against another ghoul in culinary minigame combat, and you, yourself, are a ghoul too. This is what it feels like to play Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine. That's a bit overdramatized, sure, but Supreme Cuisine is so lifeless, so lackluster, and so out-and-out lame that it's not far from the truth.
Your Iron Chef America career takes you through a tournament ladder, starting with one-star chefs and working up to actual Iron Chefs like Mario Batali, Cat Cora, and Masaharu Morimoto. The chairman and Alton Brown oversee every match, and all of these folks lend their voices to their characters. Alton Brown is the lone bright spot, as his commentary includes some genuinely interesting facts, but for the most part the voice acting can't distract you from the fact that the character avatars are pathethically ugly. Choppy "animation" and weak visual effects worsen the already terrible cutscenes, and overall the presentation fails miserably to convey any of the drama or excitement of Kitchen Stadium.
Once the chairman reveals the special ingredient and you select which of the nine possible dishes you want to prepare, it's off to the minigames. There are a handful of simple motions that cover actions like slicing, chopping, mixing, and grating. These controls work fine and these actions are easy to complete. Other actions, like tracing a pie crust or dipping chunks of meat, are annoyingly finicky but are still doable. Ironically, the hardest thing to do in Supreme Cuisine is boil liquid. Unlike when boiling in real life (turn knob, wait), you have to actively waggle the knob back and forth or your concoction will boil over. It's aggravating and stupid, but fortunately other tasks offer some comic relief. When you sprinkle or spread a topping, all you have to do is wave your cursor over the item to magically reveal the hidden topping image, just like you're scratching off a lottery ticket. Drawing silly or vulgar shapes on your lasagna may not make it taste better, but at least you'll get a chuckle.
As long as you complete these games reasonably quickly (which is usually very easy), there's no way for you to run out of time. At the end of a competition you'll plate your dishes, which consists of nothing more than grabbing an item from the top of your screen and snapping it into place on the plate. Once all the required items are plated, you can add garnishes freely and it won't affect your score (another opportunity for silliness). In fact, the only thing that does affect your score is how quickly you perform each minigame--something that is particularly baffling when you see that you are graded on originality, among other things. Beating all the Iron Chefs isn't tough, providing you can get the hang of boiling, and victory isn't very sweet. You can replay any task or recipe in the School mode, or hit up Quick Play to face off against another player or to team up with that player against two CPU chefs. But more of a bad game is still bad.
And make no mistake, Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine is a bad game. Most of the time you just play dull, simple minigames and have no idea what you are preparing. Not only does it fail to capture any of the excitement or intensity of the television show, but it botches even the basic premise. Supreme Cuisine has no charm and no challenge, and it's not engaging in any way. There are far better cooking games available for the Wii, and even diehard Iron Chef America fans will be sickened by this rotten dish.

Joe Schlesinger, CM (born May 11, 1928) is a Canadian television journalist and author.
Early life and career[edit]
Schlesinger was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria, in 1928. He was raised in Czechoslovakia. When that country was occupied by Germany in 1939, he was sent to England by his parents as part of the kindertransport, organized by Sir Nicholas Winton, that rescued 669 Jewish children. His parents were later killed in the Holocaust. Schlesinger pursued a journalism career after the war, first working at the Prague bureau of the Associated Press in 1948. He left Czechoslovakia after its Communist government began arresting journalists. In 1950, he arrived in Canada. After studying at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, he reported for the Vancouver Province and the Toronto Star, and edited for UPI in London and the International Herald Tribune in Paris.[1]
Career with the CBC[edit]
He joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1966. He retired from full-time employment in 1994, but continues to produce essays and special reports for CBC News.[2] He was a host on CBC Newsworld and producer of commentaries and documentaries for CBC Prime Time News.
In 1990, he wrote his autobiography, Time Zones: a Journalist in the World, which became a bestseller.[2]
In 1994, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada.[3] He was nominated for 18 Gemini Awards and won three awards, for "Best Reportage" (1987 and 1992) and "Best News Magazine Segment" (2004). He was also awarded the John Drainie Award (1997) and "Best Performance by a Broadcast Journalist (Gordon Sinclair Award)" (1987).
On June 7, 2010, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Queen's University in Kingston[4] and delivered the convocation speech to a part of the graduating class of 2010 from Queens' Faculty of Arts and Sciences. On June 8, 2011, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Alberta in Edmonton for his long and distinguished career,[citation needed] and also delivered a speech to part of the U of A's 2011 graduating class of the Faculty of Arts.

TiVo, Ambac Financial: Midday Volume Plays
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TiVo (TIVO) was one of several stocks trading near $5 were moving on above-average volume Wednesday following a ruling by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office against the digital video recorder maker.
TiVo shares tumbled after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled Tuesday in favor of Dish Network (DISH) and EchoStar (SATS) in a patent claim case where TiVo claimed both companies infringed on its "time warp" patent.
TiVo shares slid by 47 cents, or 6.2%, to $7.22, extending Tuesday's 5.5% decline. Volume topped 6.11 million shares, compared to the 50-day average daily volume of 5.43 million, according to the Nasdaq.
Elsewhere, Cereplast (CERP) rallied by 87 cents, or 21.5%, to $4.92 after the bioplastics manufacturer said it expects to ship 16 million pounds of bio-plastic resins in 2010, quadrupling year-ago shipments. Volume topped 295,000 shares, compared to the average daily volume of 32,000.American Capital (ACAS) jumped by 52 cents, or 12%, to $4.86 after the company extended its debt-exchange offer by one day to June 9. American Capital needs approval from 85% of its noteholders for its plan to restructure debt, although only 14% of participating noteholders supported the company's plan. Volume topped 8.16 million shares, compared to the 50-day average daily volume of 9.63 million. Ambac Financial (ABK) plunged by 36 cents, or 33.6%, to 71 cents after the bond insurer said in a regulatory filing that it may seek a negotiated restructuring through a prepackaged bankruptcy. In addition, senior debtholders of the company have formed a committee to nudge Ambac toward a prepackaged bankruptcy plan, Reuters reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Volume topped 54 million shares, compared to the three-month average daily volume of 55.46 million, according to Yahoo! Finance. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

Heylas, So, the pattern AII is REQUIRED (2.4.2 ed copy, bullet 3). But if it *doesn't exist*, we supply a default value (18.104.22.168, final sentence). If that's the way that we always describe defaults (required attribute, which if it isn't there has a value anyway), then our description is really painfully awkward. Is this a consequence of describing the "XML representation" via the infoset? Is it boneheaded of me to think that if I see "the pattern attribute information item is required" that @pattern will always appear on operation? Heh. Can XPath retrieve the value of a defaulted attribute? That's not apropos of much of anything, mind. Amy! -- Amelia A.

Six Nations: Alun Wyn Jones to lead Wales against Italy this Saturday
Last Updated: 28/01/14 4:54pm
Alun Wyn Jones: back as Wales skipper for first time in five years
Lions hero Alun Wyn Jones will lead an experienced Wales side as they bid for an unprecedented third straight Six Nations crown against Italy at the Millennium Stadium this Saturday.
Jones, who led the Lions to victory in the third and final Test against Australia last summer, captains his country for the first time since 2009 with Sam Warburton starting on the replacements' bench after two months out with a shoulder injury.
The Ospreys skipper will line up in the second row beside Luke Charteris of Perpignan, while Paul James of Bath wins his 49th cap in the front-row alongside Lions duo Richard Hibbard and Adam Jones.
Dan Lydiate, who was named player of the tournament two years ago, partners flanker Justin Tipuric and number eight Taulupe Faletau in the back row.
However, Lydiate is a doubt after leaving Wales' training base on Tuesday to fly back to Paris, where his fiancée is expecting the couple's first child.
If Lydiate is ruled out, then Warburton will be promoted to the starting line-up.
In the backs, Mike Phillips and Rhys Priestland, both ever-present in Wales Grand Slam-winning squad of 2012, are named at scrum-half and fly-half.
Jamie Roberts and Scott Williams are in the centre with Lions trio Leigh Halfpenny, Alex Cuthbert and George North making up the back-three.
"We are looking for a good start, we started slowly last year and know we need to be ready from the off," said Wales coach Warren Gatland.
"Italy started last year's tournament with a win over France so they will be ready on Saturday and we need to start well and build confidence and momentum.
"It's a strong, experienced side, but there was a lot of discussion about the selection which is a great position to be in as a coach.
"We've almost everyone fit for selection which is pretty rare. Alun-Wyn will lead the side with Sam starting on the bench and he has come through training well."
Wales: Halfpenny; Cuthbert, S Williams, Roberts, North, Priestland, Phillips, James, Hibbard; Adam Jones, Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Lydiate, Tipuric, Faletau.
Replacements: Owens, Bevington, Jones, Coombs, Warburton, Webb, Hook, L Williams.

When asked about his unnecessary roughness penalty shortly after last week's 12-10 preseason loss to the Chargers, Vikings rookie safety Harrison Smith said, "There's stuff that sometimes you can't control."
The NFL disagrees. And it's going to cost Smith a $21,000 fine when he gets his first NFL paycheck next week.
The hit on Chargers receiver Mike Willie came in the closing moments and extended the Chargers' game-winning drive. The nature of the hit made it probable that Smith would be out some money once the league got around to reviewing the matter.
"He unnecessarily struck a defenseless player in the head and neck area with his shoulder," league spokesman Randall Liu explained in an email.
After the game, Smith tried to describe the split-second thought process that comes with playing safety in a league that's making it more difficult for defenders to hit offensive players.
"I thought maybe I could go for the ball, then I realized I should go for the hit, so I kind of got caught in the middle," Smith said. "I wish I didn't get the penalty. Maybe I could have played it differently. I'll watch the film. It's easy to watch on TV and say, 'You should hit him here or there. ... At the end of the day, football is football."
Smith brings speed, size, instincts and a nasty edge to a position the Vikings have struggled at for years. This might not be the last time he gets a letter from the league following a big hit.

- first compound bow ever Review by the dude
Value Quality Price
As i stated in the summary i have never owned or shot a compound bow. I walked into my local sporting goods store and told them i had a limited experince and a limited budget but i wanted a good compound bow for deer hunting. Without hesatation he grabbed up the bear bow and some high priced (1200) matthews bow and we headed over to the instore range. He first handed me the mathews bow and well it shot well then i tried the bear bow and i was hooked the bear was smoother and quiter than the mathews

- one of the best bows out there Review by elk slayer 2013
Price Value Quality
i got this bow as a gift from my dad. at first i wasn't too excited simply because i didn't know too much about bear bows at the time. but after about 3 times out target shooting my dad is thinking about retiring his bow-tech and getting a mauler. not that his bow-tech isnt great. but my mauler is about twice as quiet and much lighter and much smoother to draw back. not to mention my groupings are better than his. but were not sure if that's the bow or the shooters fault. haha! would gladly recommend to anyone..

- Best bow I've shot in 32 yrs Review by Jim
Value Quality Price
I just recently bought this bow and love it. It's very smooth, quiet and fast. My first bow ever was a Bear Kodiak recurve. That was In 1981. I've shot many different brands and was a Browning fan for many yrs until they sold off their archery division to PSE. It was time to update and after testing this bow out I was hooked. I'd put it up against any bow on the market for value and performance. If you're still looking stop here. This is a awesome piece of equipment.

- I own a Bear Mauler Review by Cliff
Value Quality Price
I own a Mauler. My buddy owns a Mathews. My Mauler is just as fast, just as accurate, and is MUCH MORE quiet than his Mathews. The only big difference is the price tag. He spent $1200, where I spent $600.

- Own it, shoot it, love it! Review by Russ
Value Quality Price
I would consider this bow to be very competitive to any other bow on the market!
One of the most compact bows on the market, the Mauler is perfect for the stalk!
This bow shoots as well as anything out there! Not hard to look good with this bow in hand, as it is so light, as well as the smoothest cam action I've found! This Mauler is so user friendly, it's simply amazing!!
Had serious shoulder surgery on May 15th, and was able to draw this bow back, and get off several arrows by June 15th! Impressive, as I had tried to draw back the same 70 pounds on a Matthews, and also on a Diamond, and found that it just wasn't possible!
After running over 100 arrows through it, I've also found that it just keeps getting smoother as I go!
And price? Can't beat that either! There are so many higher dollar bows on the market that don't even compare!
Great job Bear Archery!!! And thank you!!!

VIDEO: Local family legacy carpet store closing its doors
A more than century-old family-owned business near New Castle is closing permanently next month.
WDEL's Amy Cherry reports.
Miller Carpet One opened its doors on West Basin Road in 1972. More than 40 years later, the well-known carpet and flooring business will shut its doors in May or June.
"We really took a hit in 2008," said Sharon Miller, Vice President of Miller Carpet One.
The fourth generation family owner of the business tells WDEL they struggled to recover. Some of the struggle comes from competition, the rest is just consumer choices.
"We compete with other big-ticket items, electronics purchases, vacations," she said. "Are you going to do your flooring this year? Are you going to do your roof? Are you going to go on vacation? So it's not just other flooring stores," she said.
The decision was a tough one for this longtime family-owned business. The Millers emigrated from Russia in 1900 and started as a furniture store. They since sold all of the furnishing stores, but have held onto the carpet business. The Miller's carpet business has weathered recessions in the past, but President Andy Miller says this economic downturn is different.
"People are not investing as much in their homes as they were, and it's just been tougher. It's labor intensive, and we decided this was the time," said Andy Miller. "The handwriting was on the wall, it's time."
Sharon Miller tells WDEL the family struggled with the decision for years.
"You don't want to, you don't want to say it's the end, but eventually you can only operate in the red for so long," said Sharon Miller.
But Andy Miller says now's the time for them to show their appreciation to customers with a big sale, starting Monday.
"Total liquidation to thank our customers for all they've done for us, and hopefully, we can reward them," said Miller.
All area rugs will be 50 percent off starting Monday. Miller Carpet One also wants you to know that any existing warranties will still be in tact.

Flappy Bird resurrected on the Pebble smart-watch
Yet another Flappy Bird headline has
graced today's news feed. Owners of the Pebble smart-watch can now
suffer enjoy a perfectly fine port of the fabled
game, courtesy of developer Stuart Ha. The Pebble-y
version is called Tiny Bird, and it seems to be doing an okay job at
scaling down the original game to fit the smart-watch, which has a

Thankfully, Pebble's limitations are of no concern to Flappy Bird's simple gameplay. To play, all you have to do is press the smart-watch's Up-button to make the bird flap its tiny wings. However, the watch's hardware buttons have a deep travel to them, and having to repeatedly and quickly press them could become another obstacle in the thankless task of mastering Flappy Bird.
But, believe it or not, Tiny Bird is already at the top of Pebble's app store...which confirms everyone's suspicions that Dong Nguyen's creation is, indeed, enchanted with mystical dark magic that makes it conquer every digital marketplace it flaps upon; and the bird is, arguably, the spawn of Satan.

It sounds sensible. In USA, people try every way they can think of to avoid the pain. Who knows , maybe the latter pain is bitter. Blessing the future people! China is on the way or not ? I wish not!
To Every poster-
What is the point? Decoupling is a process. Common sense will tell you that this is an on going flux. No country exists in a bubble. Intellectuals may pontificate.
The idea that anyone (as many have tried here ) to predict the future is futile. Imagine all of the external cause and effects that could (aside of a particular country's efforts) move this decoupling or coupling…
And so, as the article pointed out quite clearly. The rest of the world has not decoupled from America. (this is clear). China and other's are growing, becoming more of a player, and perhaps one day may decouple as it relates to the American housewife's whim's. This is not a divorce, where one can say I am finished with you, away from me.. But more like a ball game that does not end, but oscillates to and fro. But to sit here and surmise this or that is nothing more than exercise...
Time is better spent on the fly for Walleye! Enjoy.
I do not know about other emerging countries, but India's export is only 15% of GDP. India's growth is mainly domestic. Out of total export, 35% is to the USA and EU. Therefore, slump in EU and USA affects only 5% of India's GDP. If EU and USA reduce imports from India by 50%, that will reduce India's GDP by 2.5%.
This clearly shows the decoupling India's economy has with the west. In fact, India's domestic demand in sectors like low-cost housing are so huge that by fulfilling them India can grow by 10% a year without depending on export growth.
Stephan O/
Actually the Economist ran a surprisingly in-depth article on how China's dependence on exports is greatly exaggerated by many institutions.
to staphan o
Shephan has you been to china before? you must be an american who wants the whole world to sink with you. China need a lot of infrastructure for it's western region. china also has 100 cities with population more than 1 million. you can image highway network, railway & airports they need to build.with the world biggest reserve & trading surplus(china still manage to maintain due to hue drop of commedities price), china will be able to grow around 6% for next 2 years. inorder to increase their export,China do need the rest of the world to recover. USA is actully using misguided economic policies(spend the way out)by keep on borrowing money(hue burden on next generation your president mentoned). there is no argument that China can handle this crisis better than other countries.
You are beating a dead horse. Decoupling cannot and will not happen.
China's and entire emerging market's economic policy is export based. The infrastructure spending in china is madness, more overbuilding only to avoid shortterm pain.
The economist should warn from not cheerlead misguided economic policies..
It is undoubtedly good news if confirmed in the coming months and years as America's adjustments (and financial mischiefs) should not be allowed to play such havoc on economies around the world ever again.Countries with big internal markets that remain largely untapped or have considerable growth potential should do their utmost to develop them while lessening manufacturing sector's dependence on the whims and spending capabilities of American consumers.
The ongoing worldwide economic downturn has shown beyond questioning how intricately the economic fate of nations is now woven which may be considered a positive on the one hand, far from a desirable condition on the other.
There being no quick fix other than surviving through recession's full course, lessons must be learnt by policymakers within individual countries on the importance of maximising broadly understood self-reliance in those sectors that can be made to thrive competitively in domestic markets.
Full decoupling is not entirely achievable within the workings of built-in economic and financial systems now in place but what might be likened to partial decoupling is not only possible as is indeed a feasible goal that should be firmly pursued -I would wish- by most countries.
Otherwise, next time America sneezes the rest of the world will again catch cold - not because of unavailability of medicine, rather the unwillingness to take in only a timely fair dose of it!
I was reading Adam Carr's article "SCOREBOARD: DECOUPLING REVISITED", (26/05/2009, http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/SCOREBOARD-Decoupling...) and realised this article on the Economist. I commented on Carr's article and copy my comments here for readers' information.
In my view, decoupling is happening and will be more pronounced in the coming years. There are a number of reasons for this decoupling. Firstly, the world economy may have come to the point that the capacity of the more advanced economies, especially the US, to continue to absorb the continuous and rapid expansion of the developing economies through imports may have reached a reflection point. The implication is that developing economies, especially the large and rapidly growing ones, will have to find other ways than relying on simply exporting their growing outputs.
Secondly, the current financial and economic crisis has made it clear that the US cannot continue to consume beyond its means, both privately and publicly. They must increase their savings from now on, or at least following the recovery. In so doing, its growth is expected to be slower, so its current account deficits will be reduced. This will add to the need for developing economies to rely more on themselves to maintain rapid growth.
Thirdly, some large developing economies have probably accumulated a critical mass to accelerate the so called South-South trade, that is, collectively act as a group to assist the growth of each other.
I would not be surprised at all that the more dynamic developing economies will recover much earlier than their more advanced counterparts from this world great recession. Further, I will not be surprised that they will maintain their rapid growth irrespective whether the US will or will not visit Japan's 1990s experience following its bubble burst.
The rapid industrialisation of many developing economies simultaneously, especially the main large ones, is likely to see a change in the patterns of growth in the world economy. Decoupling will be a natural product out of that process.
I have an issue with this judgment:
"China's rebound will only be sustained if the economy shifts further from state-sponsored investment to private consumption. That will require tough structural changes, from forcing state-owned firms to pay fatter dividends to a stronger social safety net."
My first question: how can state-sponsored investment be de-linked from private consumption?
If the firm is 'state-owned', then who does the the firm pay the 'dividends' to? Is there even a need to 'force' in the first place?
What does 'a stronger social safety net' mean? Giving handouts so that people can then spend in the economy?
An increase in private consumption requires higher disposable income, but where is this income growth going to come from?
As I see it, state-sponsored investment has a huge role to play, although there must be qualitative changes. The huge room for infrastructural investment notwithstanding, there is a necessity to re-invest tax gains (and probably those huge stacks of US dollars in the reserves which may devalue in future) into education, which will build up human capital and attract higher quality private investments from overseas. It is only with the increase in human capital that real disposable income will rise, and further stimulate consumption.
I do hope, sincerely, that analyses in The Economist can be more probing, rather than make simplistic assertions like the quote above.
Perhaps you spoke too soon. China's "recovery" may prove to be a "false dawn", says this report http://tinyurl.com/jrhlb5
Call it what you like, but the fact of the matter is that the 'Emerging' economies like China, Brazil, India etc will extricate themselves much sooner from the global meltdown than the US or the Euro nations will.
This is mainly because they have strong & vibrant domestic market demands that will sustain their economies, despite the lull in the export sector.
Commonsense is all it takes to decipher that!
Investors who took New Year advice to load up on emerging markets are now facing the vexing problem of what to do with all of their new found wealth. The emerging market ETF has soared by 57% to $33, and the China ETF and India ETF's, have doubled from their bottoms. The average emerging stock market is now up 50% on the year. The good news is that this is just the down payment on a multiyear, tenfold move for many of these markets. The bad news is that all of these markets are way overbought on a short term and technical basis, and that we have to expect pullbacks this summer that could give up as much as half of the recent move. If you are a trader, take the money and run. If you are a long term investor, no pain no gain. I don't think any of these high growth plays are going to revisit the 2008 lows. Those were once in a century bottoms. This is the only long equity exposure you should have for the next decade.
no one can be totally decoupling from this financial crisis.
China can do better comparatively than other countries due following reason:
1/ chinese banking sector suffer little loss. More banks have stronger balance sheet than western banks.
2/ china has world bigger reserve to support their stimulus program
3/ chinese exports suffer less in comparsion with other asian countries (Japan & Korea) because chinese factories manufactures basic daily consumption items(clothing,shoes & electrical applicants).
4/ china manages to maintain trading surplus due to hue commodities price drop.
5/ chinese like to save. they have high saving rate. they don't to borrow. so the society is not heavily geared as those western countries.
6/ china need to build more transportion, infra structure, health save net & village develop program. they have the money to do them.
inshort China has the money & human resources to maintain short term growth target but not forever.
To Cowboy John and Sherlion,
I also thing that if you take the word "decoupling" in its strict sense, than it bears no meaning, since nobody is isolated.
But I guess you may find the point in using the word "decoupling" if you understand it as, say (my proposal), "a negative dynamic of the degree of dependence of domestic economy on foreign markets".
Just replace the absolute meaning with a relative one (allow degrees of comparison).
Decoupling was and is nothing more than a fancy term to provide cover for those wishing to see the United States of America diminished and humiliated. It had extra energy because of former President George W. Bush and the Progressive's and Communist's hatred for him. Other than that it is silly nonsense. What, I ask, is the point?
The world is not decoupled. Yet the destinies of emerging markets and OECD is going to be very different.
One of the very interesting indicators are steel production levels. Production of steel in OECD countries is down by 30 to 50% vis-a-vis the levels last year. China and India have maintained their last years production levels. Writing is on the wall.
So while the emerging market economies are not decoupled to the extent expected (growth has come down), yet growth is still there and there is confidence on the future prospects for countries such as India and China.
I believe that besides the potential for growth through improvements in living standrads in emerging markets and catching up with developed world, another key difference is the confidence on the future and the focus on growth over efficiency.
West today lacks confidence about its future, CEOs of its corporations have a gloomy view, they are guided by mindless analysts (making predictions from a small room in New York or London and not knowing what is going on in the real world). CEOs of western corporations are obsessed with efficiency and with firing people and some over other maintain profits and get their bonuses. Practically none have the courage to say that boom years of 2007 and early 2008 are over.
Till the CEOs of anglo saxon corporations become positive and become obsessed with top line growth and not with protecting their bonuses and imporving only efficiency, west will remain in a deep recession. Banking system is not the only culprit, CEOs of anglo saxon corporations are equally to blame.
I think that Central Europe (or "eastern European Union is you like) might tell a thing or two about decoupling, because they are a special case: EU, but still 'developing countries'.
Thus, during the last two decades, smaller countries in the region, like the Baltic trio, appeared to be easier to reform and so speed up in economic development. They seemed to find it a good move in getting specialized in a highly increasing Global demand (e.g. Estonia with communication technology). This worked well when the World was in good shape, and their dependence on Global demand seemed to pay. Now … this seems to pay back.
Other countries, like Poland and Romania, being larger – and with more diversified economies – found it more difficult to move fast, let alone to specialize (an idea that sounded horrible to Polish and Romanian ears). Thus, they were not as able (nor willing) as their Baltic neighbours and fellows to take advantage of the "last big thing", BUT now in turn, they are able to fuel its economy by internal demand. And so they are to a certain extent decoupled (or "decouplable") from the international turmoil.
This is to say that capacity to decouple (among developing countries) is a matter of size and economic diversification.
Diversification is also dependent on size, but also on geography (endowment and diversity of natural resources, strategic location, etc).
Nevertheless, Poland and Romania are linked with the west by a certain dependence of external investments. Also their future capacity to decouple – and thus contribute to a higher stability of the EU – depends of the extent to which they develop their own potential with the help of foreign investments (including from inside the EU).
This is to say that EU might increase its capacity to decouple from Global crises by helping "decouplable" EU countries like Poland and Romania to gain weight.
This will consolidate EU-based companies with business in Poland and Romania.
While the same mechanism is true for all "eastern EU" countries, the associated risks are lower in these two main countries for the reasons mentioned above – these two countries can function as investments pivots to strengthen EU from inside.
In other words, while China spends its way out of the crisis by investing in its best-potential regions (infrastructure, etc), it is in the common interrest of EU to similarly start big investment mechanisms in Poland and Romania.
It is amazing to still argue about the validity of the 'decoupling' of emerging economies from their industrialised coounterparts as it failed in such a spectacular manner not long after it was raised by the mdeia.
Any economy can decouple from other economies for a little while if its government throws in a massive fiscal stimulus package and instructs its banks to lend as much as they can afford.
If this article carries some truth, the recent research done by the IMF in an attempt to explain why the Asian economies has been so hard hit by the GFC is clearly misplaced.
I am eagerly waiting for the decoupling 3.0 from yr megazine. May I put my preorder now?
We are used to thinking of the Asian economies (AEs) as dependent on the west. This crisis is actually a great opportunity for them as the OECD reels from a massive self-inflicted wound:
1. The AEs will benefit from cheaper commodities as they build their cities and infrastructure;
2. Their sovereign funds will be able to acquire western companies and technology on the cheap;
3. Companies in the AEs will take market share, access to resources, and business opportunities away from western companies crippled by debt;
4. Creative human resources will be attracted from the OECD to the AEs.
The current setback experienced by China and India are a blessing in disguise. It stops malinvestments (ever more low-margin clothing and widget factories churning out cheap goods destined shortly for western landfills) and frees up resources for the next generation of productive enterprises.
Just compare how the Chinese and the USA deal with change. The suffering is immense on both sides, but the Chinese stoically let failures happen and are planning for the future (they are shortening the maturity of their treasury holdings thereby effectively reducing their exposure to the US dollar, accumulating stockpiles of hard goods and negotiating for mineral rights), while the US insists on propping up the undead banks and carmakers with toilet-paper money to recreate a credit-bubble-driven past.
No prizes for guessing who the winners will be.
And what's more, China's exports are down 20+%.
Sure their imports are down because what they import, they process and export.
This however should make people think about 2 things:
1) There's massive unutilized capacity in China and tonnes of people are out of work.
2) The "voracious" demand for commodities is not much more than a shift of production from the rest of the world to China only to be sold back to the rest of the world. Of course China is building infrastructure and they are consuming some commodities but not at the rate that their import growth showed in the past.

An international hip hop collaboration: Diaspora Mixtape
This is another example of how the internet has made it possible for people from all over the world to connect, collaborate, create, and share with others.
International Hip-Hop Comes Alive:
Nomadic Wax Records set to release Volume 2 of "Diaspora: A Global Mixtape Movement"
"These kinds of global collaborations are so important because they showcase the revolutionary power of Hip-Hop culture," says Diaspora producer DJ Nio, "They bring people together from around the globe – even if they speak different languages, have different religions, ideas, and backgrounds. Hip-Hop is a universal language without barriers. Like George Clinton said, it works toward building 'one nation under a groove'."
Diaspora Mixtape Volume 2 is mixed by Filipino-American DJ Boo (Juggaknots, Eternia), audio mix and mastered by Dan Cantor (Notable Productions), and produced by Genovese DJ Nio (Zero Plastica, Basement UnderGround). Volume 2 features talent from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia and South America. A global evolution from Tony Touch's legendary Power Cypha: 50 MCs mixtapes series, the Diaspora Mixtape brings together over 50 international Hip-Hop artists who contribute a 16 bar verse in their native tongue, showcasing the cultural, stylistic, and linguistic diversity of each region's respective Hip-Hop scene...

While Luke's narrative, the most detailed account of the birth of Jesus, is lyrical and inspiring, in the Birth of Jesus, Spong persuasively demonstrates it is allegory. Layer by layer, Spong weighs every element of the New Testament stories against Old Testament legends building a convincing case. Spong's essays step backward and forward through the scriptures demonstrating why each element was chosen by the early CE writers to establish Jesus' lineage and divinity. It is a fascinating and persuasive journey and a remarkable illustration of Biblical scholarship.read more
A few years back a book called The Secret took the world by storm, and it is still prominently displayed on the shelves of most bookstores today. The message of the book was to invoke the laws of attraction and intention to attain a life and circumstances that we desired. And because of its popularity I was compelled to grab a copy to see what all the hype was about. I wondered how a book could really promise those kinds of results, and why so many people were swearing by its results. And then it hit me that the best selling book of all time really isn't all that different. And this got me to wondering if Jesus and King David may have been teaching us this same "secret" thousands of years prior?read more

I think of when I had none at all,
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings.
- Irving Berlin (1954)
As Thanksgiving approaches, the thoughts of many of us turn to our blessings. Although counting one's blessings is a proven way to bolster well-being, a study I just read suggests a useful refinement of this strategy that may make it even more effective (Koo, Algoe, Wilson, & Gilbert, 2008). It may matter whether we think about the good things in our lives in terms of their presence (e.g., "I have a great job") or in terms of their absence (e.g., "Suppose I did not have this great job").
This strategy is called mental subtraction, and studies show that instructions to imagine the absence of a good event produce more positive emotions than does the simpler strategy of merely thinking about its presence.
