So, you've been teaching the online course for several terms now. Word has spread among students that the online section is the "place to be". Each term, the class fills as soon as registration opens. And, your SETs are finally reflecting the hard work you've put into online course design. You must be doing something right!
Now would be a good time to consider submitting the course for international recognition through the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program (ECP). The ECP recognizes course creators whose courses demonstrate best practices in four major areas: Course Design, Interaction & Collaboration, Assessment and Learner Support. All submissions are evaluated by a peer group of Blackboard clients using the ECP Rubric. Submitting your course for review provides you the opportunity to:
- Reflect on your own course design through a self-evaluation of your course and gain new perspective and insights on your course.
- Receive detailed feedback on your own course development including best practices and areas for improvement.
- Apply lessons learned from the Exemplary Course Rubric to your own courses or those you are helping to develop.
- Gain professional development experience and recognition for your accomplishments and participation in the program.
All submitted courses are reviewed and receive detailed feedback on their design, interaction and collaboration, assessment, and learner support components.
Still Apprehensive?
There are many, many resources to help you enhance your course to ensure it fares well in the review. To begin, please take a look at the 2014 winners. Winning courses from previous years can be viewed here. Then, you might consider enrolling in the Designing an Exemplary Course MOOC. It's free, self-paced and offers great ideas and strategies for enhancing your course.
Let's Go For It!
Once you' make the decision to go for it, there is support right on our campus. Last year, WSU was named an inaugural member of the ECP Review Council. The team was comprised of Dr. Fay Martin, Dr. Sara Kacin, Cindy Sulad and me. We are all willing to work with you to tweak your course for the review. Just drop us an email and we'll get started.
I won the ECP in 2012 and I am a regular ECP course reviewer (2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014). These awards are major deals and Blackboard ensures you are recognized and afforded the royal treatment at Bb World. So, your efforts do, indeed, pay off!
ECP 2015 Submission date-> Mid-February 2015
Fall has arrived and we are approaching mid-term of Fall 2014. We are fortunate in that there have been few issues with Blackboard. However, we have yet to install Bb Service Pack 14 and that has precluded us from benefiting from some enhancements. Overall, it's been smooth sailing. The following are odds and ends that I have collected to share with you.
Course Copied Announcements: When you recycle Course Announcements which were included in a course copy or export/import transfer, please be aware that they do not appear as NEW in the student's Blackboard home page under:
My Announcements
Meaning, your students will not receive any indication a NEW announcement has been posted. For example, previously I simply changed the availability dates on the Announcement. I would include the option
to students, as well. Unfortunately, this modified announcement does not appear on the student's Bb home page under My Announcements.
Grade Center Nuances: No, you are not crazy! There are nuances within the Blackboard Grade Center that have absolutely no rhythm or reason. There are special quirks that are not articulated or explained anywhere. So, take a deep breath, relax and try something different, when you encounter one of these special scenarios. For example, there was no record within a student's Grade Center for a missing assignment. The column did not appear at all. Resolution: The Grade Center will only show columns in a student's record when a score has been recorded. So for a student who had not submitted an assignment, the Instructor must enter a "0" in the Grade Center column for the missing assignment to appear in the student's Grade Center record.
Reach Out and Touch: Remember the Contact Information you secured in the course's Web Agreement for your online students? Now, would be a good time to simply give them a call to provide support and encouragement. I typically phone between 7-10 students during my weekly office hours. It takes about 15 minutes because most are in class or working. This reassurance is most often comforting to them. And, students truly appreciate this effort in online classes. For example, a student wrote on the course SET: "Dr. Stephens called me and made contact to hear my voice and we discussed the course slightly and I could truly hear the passion in her voice regarding the topic."
Enjoy the remainder of the Fall term 2014. And, remember the Holiday Season is just around the corner!
Your online courses are up and running and there have been very few student inquires. I am sure you implemented the online communication mechanisms including the course Welcome Letter, the Getting Started video and the Q&A Blogs. Yes, things are off to a good start!
Many of your students have begun their readings and reviewed your lectures, videos and some have completed their initial assignments. Unfortunately, not all students are 'present and accounted for'! They simply have yet to log into the course. This could potentially be a problem not only for the student, but for you, too! Federal regulations specifically related to Federal Student Aid dictate that attendance data be factored into financial aid calculations.
What does that mean for online instructors? Will we need to document student participation levels, stop-out and drop out dates? Documenting their levels of participation need not be difficult, if you employ the Blackboard tools designed to track participation and attendance. The Blackboard Retention Center provides a variety of tools to monitor student participation, attendance, achievement and performance. Click here for an overview and video.
Early in the term, I use the Blackboard Retention Center to track student NO SHOWS. These are students who have never logged into the course and/or who have not accessed any course information. I count the number of days since the beginning of classes to create the "Rule". Blackboard generates a listing of students matching the criteria. Then, Blackboard allows me to notify the students of their non-performance status. The email message sent becomes a permanent part of the student's records within Blackboard. The following is the narrative I used recently:
Dear TED 6020: Computer Applications in Teaching student:
Just a note to let you know that you have yet to log into the Blackboard course site and an assignment is coming due tomorrow. Please make time to complete course assignments and activities. Lack of participation will negatively impact your grade. Your prompt attention is expected.
This term, there were six (6) students receiving the message. Two responded within three (3) hours and provided an update regarding their status. So, it works! Please view the 1-minute No Show Video, a step-by-step view of the Retention Center and how I use it to track/monitor NO SHOW students.
Feel free to make modifications to the narrative above and include in your course. If you have a related question, please post.
This term, I am teaching three (3) sections of the same Educational Technology course. At present, there are 25 students enrolled in each of the sections. That translates into 75 email messages during the first week of class that begin, "Professor, I need help. I can't ….." ! The Help! I have a Problem! module has greatly reduces the inundation of student inquiry email messages during the first weeks of school. And, within 2-3 weeks, student email messages written directly to me are virtually non-existent.
The Help! I have a Problem! module is a Blackboard content area that provides students with details parameters for what they are to do when they encounter problems or have questions on course assignments and/or activities. The following items are contained within the module(see screenshot):
Direct Link to All Q&A Blogs: This is a Bb Course Link. It takes students directly to the list of all available Blogs. There is a separate course Blog for each instructional module, only available during the time the module is 'open'. The narrative below also contains a link to an FAQ document containing questions from previous terms:This blog is specifically for questions and answers related to the XXX module. Please preview the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document before posting. Either your classmates or Dr. Stephens will provide a reply. You may also post comments related to the Seminar, as well. Click here for a brief video on how to create a Blog entry.
Support Groups: This is a Bb Course Link. It takes student directly to the list of Groups where they are members. There are communication tools within their group to communicate with each other. This strategy helps to build student communities and to also foster reliance upon their group members as they navigate the course. The narrative below describes the functionality:Description: This study group has been created to provide you with support from your classmates to complete course assignments. You may post questions, challenges, inspirational messages and anything you believe will help you and your group get to the Finish Line !
Dr. Stephens Contact Information: This is a Bb Course Link to my Instructor Contact page.
Chat with Dr. Stephens: This is a Bb Course Link to the Chat feature. The parameters for Chatting with me are detailed in the narrative below:Please click here to initiate a conversation with Dr. Stephens. I am generally online for student questions every day (except Sunday) from 11-12pm. However, I am available whenever I am online.
Send Email to Dr. Stephens: This is a Bb Course Link to the Send Email to the Instructor link. The parameters set here are critical to maintaining and managing student questions and other inquiries. Please take a moment to really read the narrative!Use this link to send an email to Dr. Stephens, if this is NOT a question related to anything in the course. For example, if you are having a technical issue, then contact the HELP DESK. If the question relates to some aspect of a course assignment, then please post the question on the related Q&A Blog. This link is the first one on this page. That way, everyone benefits from the response. If the question is of a personal nature and it is related to the course, then please email Dr. Stephens. For example: It is late November and you had emergency surgery and will be incapacitated for much of December and may not be able to complete the course before December 8, 2014. She will respond within 6-8 hours, unless you send the message on a Sunday.
I also reiterate this in each of the video overviews within course modules. Finally, if God can take Sundays off, then so can I!
Feel free to make the modifications to any of the narratives above and include in your course. Please check back next week for the next tip related to Online Teaching: Course Overview Video. If you have a related question, please post.
The course Web Agreement outlines parameters and helps to ensure that students begin your online course with all the required technology resources and tools. It is another cornerstone for building a strong communication foundation. The Web Agreement articulates detailed course expectations and informs students of their responsibilities. It also provides me with documentation should there be an issue down the road. And, it helps to avoid the most dreaded student whine: "You didn't tell me I needed that!" The Web Agreement enables me to hold students accountable and I have used it's contents as evidence when student appeal.
My current Web Agreement was created using a template developed several years ago by Dr. Mary Brady, Senior Lecturer, TED/COE. It has been recently updated to include more current information. Here is how the process works:
The Web Agreement Test is the course's first assignment. I begin the process by discussing the Web Agreement, in great detail, during the course's Opening Video. The document is clearly identified and readily available in the Course Information content area, in PDF format. If students have questions, there is a Bb course link to the Q&A Blog (course) where they may post their questions. During the first week of class, I monitor the blog closely to address any questions or concerns. Because of the Web Agreement's importance, Bb Adaptive Release parameters are established for the test. Students are not able to proceed with any other course activities until the Web Agreement test has been completed.
Also, one of the best features of the Web Agreement is that it solicits contact information for each student! This can be valuable information should you wish to reach a student regarding course activities. Their preferred contact information is right there in the test! (See question 10 on the Web Agreement Test.) One of my online teaching Best Practices includes reaching out to every student via phone sometime during the term. The contact information provides immediate access to the best number to reach the student. I'll share more about this strategies later in the term.
Please click here to download a MS Word document containing my current Web Agreement. Click here to download the Bb Packet for the Web Agreement Test. Here are instructions for uploading the test. A how to video may also assist you with the upload. Begin to pay particular attention at the 1-minute mark. Once uploaded, you may make modifications to the test and its items. Feel free to make the modifications and include in your course.
Please check back next week for information regarding another online course cornerstone, the Video: Course Overview. If you have a related question, please post.
Are you receiving email messages regarding your online course from students? Unfortunately, students who registered for the course have no idea what is to happen next. To avoid confusion and delayed starts, one might consider using the WELCOME LETTER as a way to introduce students to the course.
Getting off to a good start is critical to building a strong communication foundation. Several years ago, Dr. Mary Brady, Senior Lecturer, TED/COE, created the Welcome Letter for her online students. It has been recently updated to include more current information. The Welcome Letter is a cornerstone of the foundation. How it works:
I create a formal letter on university/college stationary. This gives it an official look. Then, I attach it as a PDF file to an email message originating from my class roster within the Learning Management System (LMS). At WSU, our LMS is Blackboard (Bb). The letter contains the following elements:
- A statement to thank students for selecting the online course option,
- A paragraph about when the course will begin and how to access course information.
- Please consider including an LMS tutorial that might be beneficial for students to complete prior to beginning the course, if you are not including this as an instructional component. At WSU, the student interactive tutorial can be found at: https://studentdemocourse.wikispaces.com/ There, students may self-enroll in a Bb tutorial to gain insight into the fundamentals of using the Bb LMS at WSU. (The Bb Course ID: CIT_1301_BLACKBOARD_BASICS_PERM)
- Information about how to contact you with issues or concerns prior to the beginning of class.
Please visit here to download the MS Word document containing my Welcome Letter for Fall 2014. Feel free to make modifications and share with your students in the coming weeks. The related email message reads as follows:Hello Everyone: Just a note to let you know that I am excited about starting another academic year! And, I am also looking forward to working with you as we explore the area of Educational Technology. Attached is the course WELCOME LETTER. It details the next steps. As indicated, the Blackboard course site will be available on Wednesday morning, at 12:01am. You may begin course activities then. In the meantime, enjoy the dog-days of summer! Your Instructor~ Dr. Geralyn E. Stephens "I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn." ― Albert Einstein
Please check back next week for information regarding the next cornerstone: the Online Course Agreement. If you have a related question, please post.
Each Fall, I look forward to returning to the university with excitement. The level of anticipation ranks right up there with Christmas mornings, when I was a child. Why?
For the past 12 years, I have taught online courses, exclusively. During the summer, I research instructional strategies and techniques that I might employ to further engage students and increase their level of involvement with the content, their peers and with me. My goals are for these learning activities to transcend the technology and for the levels of students' comprehension and application to increase. While these are great goals, they pale in comparison to my bottom line: I want students enrolled in my online courses to believe their investments of time and financial resources were well spent.
Getting off to a good start is critical to building a foundation. I have found the following four (4) strategies most beneficial to building these cornerstones of an online course:
1) Welcome Letter – This can be a simple email message sent to all students enrolled in the course. The message should contain the following:
- A statement to thank students for selecting the online course option
- A paragraph about when the course will begin and how to access course information. You might also include an LMS tutorial that might be beneficial for students to complete prior to beginning the course, if you are not including this as an instructional component.
2) Course Agreement – This is the agreement related to course expectations and conduct. It may contain hardware and/or software requirements. It should contain contact information for the student, as well. I create a Blackboard Quiz for students to acknowledge and accept responsibilities outlined in the agreement. There is also a fill-in-the-blanks item for their cell phone contact numbers.
3) Video: Course Overview -The video highlights various aspects of the course and provide students with general information about how the course functions. There should be a reassuring tone in its presentation. It should also contain something about you as the instructor. Students want to know that you are human, too! So, sharing something about your professional background, as well as, something personal, i.e., hobby, interest, pets, humanizes you right from the beginning!
4) Help! I have a Problem! – Students need reassurance that they will not be left alone when problems arise with the LMS or something related to the course. A module dedicated to detailing how to handle these situations when they begin the courses reduces anxiety for students and you!
Please check back for more about each of these over then next several weeks. If you have a related question, please post.
Monitoring student interaction with the content, their peers and the instructor is key to ensuring student engagement. Student feedback can be a monitoring strategy that may provide them with an opportunity to respond to their education experience in your online/hybrid classroom.
As teachers, we'd like to believe that our instructional delivery plans reach all students. We'd like to believe that the activities and assignments are aligned to the objectives and outcomes for our course. We conducted research and selected resources and materials that support the content. However, seldom do we poll students about the usefulness or effectiveness of any of these tools to reach the objectives and outcomes.
Soliciting student feedback, within content modules, provides the instructor with information that can be used to enhance upcoming lessons. For example, I previously included essay questions in with multiple choice items on an exam. Students were able to repeat the multiple choice section, if they were not satisfied with their score. Unfortunately, there was no way for students to know their scores until the essay portions were scored. And, I had not planned to score the essay questions until after the due date. As a result of student feedback regarding this situation, I modified future exams to be two separate tests. The multiple choice portion and the essay questions then became separate exams. Now, students are able to make informed decisions. These are all very simple options in the Blackboard LMS.
The Survey Tool within Blackboard provides an easy avenue for soliciting and collecting student feedback related to the content and instructional activities within the online/hybrid classroom. Once acquired, courses can be enhanced based upon the information provided. The Survey Tool provides general data analysis and statistical information. Student responses to open-ended questions also share insight into their educational experience.
To begin, select not more than five (5) questions to be included in the survey. The questions I use include:
- The Seminar/Module was well organized.
- The materials presented in the Seminar/Module were clear and understandable. The examples and/or illustrations helped me to understand the subject matter.
- The readings contributed to my understanding of the concepts presented in the Seminar/Module.
Develop a Likert scale that outlines the scope. I use Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither Agree/Disagree, Disagree or Strongly Disagree.
In my Educational Technology course, I added another question, taken from our Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) is:
- How much did you learn in the Seminar/Module?
The response options include:
- The Seminar/Module introduced me to new concepts and/or technology and helped me gain an awareness of how my lessons may be enhanced by integrating the technology introduced.
- The Seminar/Module presented concepts and/or technology that are familiar to me and I learned how my lessons may be enhanced by integrating the technology introduced.
- The Seminar/Module presented concepts and/or technology that are very familiar to me and I learned how I might demonstrate some instructional application.
- The Seminar/Module presented concepts and/or technology that I am proficient using for instructional purposes and I am able to integrate all topics presented into my instructional delivery systems.
I also include one (1) open-ended question:
Please recommend at least one (1) thing that might be added to Seminar/Module XXX to help a future online COURSE NAME/NUMBER student.
Another benefit of the Talk-to-Me survey tool is that it provides the instructor to gage the pulse of the course as it relates to Students' Evaluation of Teaching (SET) scores. The multiple choice questions I use are the same questions our institution uses on our SET evaluation instruments. After completing the Talk-to-Me surveys within each instructional module, students have grown accustomed to responding.
As always, please post your questions. I'd like an opportunity to share more about the Talk-to-Me survey tool.
After a strong sense of community has been developed, I provide students with an opportunity to further expand their application of the content by soliciting input on related real-life scenarios. This is done through what I call: Course Conversations. These discussions provide them with a topic related to the content and solicits their input.
Course Conversations are optional and ungraded. As the semester progresses, students grow increasingly more comfortable with the flow of interactions. This includes peer-to-peer and student-instructor communications. At this point in the course, students also welcome a chance to 'talk' about what they are learning in non-threatening ways. Course Conversations are NOT graded and participation is optional.
The following is an example of an optional Course Conversations, using the Discussion Board feature of Blackboard (Learn), in my Education Technology course:
SCENARIO: Earlier this month, we were driving north on I-69 and we passed many, many cars with children watching video on the car's individual DVD players. It got me to thinking about riding in a car as a child. We did not have DVD players, mp3 players, game boys, or other electronic devices. We simply had the radio (which was usually not on one of our favorite stations) and our imagination. I can remember helping my younger sister learn the alphabet by pointing out letters, such as K for Kmart, on our travels. I can remember talking with my parents about the sites along the way. All of this contributed to our Prior Knowledge and Experiences bank.
What do you think will be the educational impact of so much technology in automobiles today?
The scenario provides students with an opportunity to share similar experiences, as well as, reflections on their learning. I have found that students use these ungraded Course Conversations as a way to share their thoughts and ideas about how what they are learning applies to daily life. I believe my students benefit from such peer-to-peer exchanges by having an opportunity to articulate their premises and by asking clarity questions from their peers in non-threatening forums. My students believe these casual Course Conversations mimic those held by students awaiting class in university hallways or other gathering centers.

Hamlet, NC – June 14, 2012
Richmond Community College President Dr. Dale McInnis (left) and Joseph Prischak, Chairman of the Board for the Plastek Group in Erie, Pennsylvania, stand in front of a new Milacron injection molding machine Plastek has donated to the college. The college's ability to provide training to new employees was one of the reasons the international industry chose Hamlet as a site for a new plant. The donation of the injection molding machine opens new opportunities for RCC to train existing and prospective Plastek employees.
Over the past year, a rich partnership has developed between Richmond Community College and the Plastek Group. Through its Customized Training Program, the college has provided a variety of classes at the Hamlet plant. Some have been generic, like forklift training, but others have been industry-specific classes on how to operate the CNC plastic injection molding machines that produce Plastek's signature oval deodorant stick package.
RCC President Dr. Dale McInnis and Joseph Prischak, chairman of the board for the Erie, Pennsylvania-based industry, met this week to discuss the company's future needs. Prischak donated a new Milacron plastic injection molding machine to the college for use in training. The industry wants to be poised to expand and increase production when the opportunity presents itself. The Hamlet plant produces products for customers in North Carolina and Mexico.
"What we did way back when in Erie was start a mold making apprentice program when we recognized the fact there were few skilled tool makers," said Prischak. "When we moved into the plastic injection molding industry, we realized there was a shortage of skilled craftsmen and worked with Penn State – Erie to create a plastics engineering technology program. I'd like to see what we can do here with RCC. This area needs industry, you have intelligent people eager to learn, and we're eager to train them and put them to work."
McInnis said customer service was what brought Plastek to Hamlet. They wanted to be closer to their North Carolina client. Instilling the concept of customer service will be key to the success of future training.
The partners are creating an opportunity for local citizens to gain the skills needed to find employment in today's specialized job market.

Officials not suggesting new try on car-tab fee
Debate continued Wednesday about why Tuesday's $60 car-tab measure for transportation projects failed, but no one at City Hall was promising to quickly rework the proposal and place it before voters again anytime soon.
Seattle Times staff reporters
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn on Wednesday rejected suggestions that the resounding defeat of the $60 car-tab measure was a repudiation of his walk-bike-ride transportation priorities.
Instead, he blamed the 60 percent no vote on the City Council for not placing on the ballot his proposal for an $80 car-tab fee. That fee would have been collected indefinitely and could have funded a network of streetcar lines.
"I wanted a bolder transit package to get rail out to the neighborhoods. The City Council chose to fund a lot of smaller projects. It wasn't clear to people what they were getting for their money," McGinn said.
Most council members, though, said McGinn's plan was an extravagance in a struggling economy, and they endorsed an advisory committee's more balanced mix of projects. Looking back after the defeat, several said the 10-year, $204 million transportation measure they unanimously put on Tuesday's ballot might have succeeded had it focused more on the city's estimated $1.8 billion backlog in road maintenance and less on alternative modes.
"To a lot of people, it smelled like bicycles and streetcars, even though that was a tiny portion of the total package," said Councilmember Sally Clark.
The money would have been spent this way: 22 percent for walking and cycling projects; 29 percent for streets and traffic safety; and 49 percent for transit projects, including $18 million on streetcar study and engineering.
Councilmember Jean Godden said she wasn't able to persuade any of her colleagues to devote more money to roads.
"In retrospect, we could have reconstructed the $60 package so it had more maintenance," Godden said.
McGinn on Wednesday mused that perhaps a package with a strong rail proposal plus more money for basic street maintenance might appeal to the public.
As debate continued about why Tuesday's measure failed, council members weren't promising to quickly rework the proposal and place it before voters again anytime soon. Rather, they suggested that the city work with state legislators to find other ways to fund transportation improvements.
Seattle leaders echoed voters' complaints that the car-tab fee was regressive because it charged the owners of a luxury vehicle the same as the owner of an old beater.
"We need to work in Olympia to get better transportation-funding options," said Tom Rasmussen, chairman of the council's transportation committee. One possibility, he said, would be to allow cities to collect an additional motor-vehicle excise tax based on vehicles' value.
The problem is that Olympia faces its own multibillion-dollar funding gap, not to mention the challenge of crafting a statewide transportation tax measure that Gov. Chris Gregoire has requested. Without a statewide tax, nearly every dollar of existing gas tax will be obligated to debt, maintenance and projects already in the works, such as the Highway 520 bridge.
Seattle isn't alone in rejecting a car-tab fee as a way to raise money for transportation projects. The Legislature in 2007 allowed cities to collect vehicle-license fees up to $100. The first $20 did not require voter approval. The additional $80 did. To date, dozens of cities have adopted the $20 car-tab fee, but none of them has won voter approval for more.
Bremerton and Burien voters rejected additional $30 license fees in 2009. Edmonds voters rejected an additional $40 fee in 2010.
"I think the question that resonated with voters was, "Is this a fair tax?" said Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who favored the $80 fee. "It was the best tool we had (to raise money for transportation), but people in Seattle care about fairness."
O'Brien said he'd like to see the mayor and council agree on transportation priorities before going back to voters. "We need to articulate a larger vision about where Seattle could be in five years," he said.
But some outside City Hall wonder if elected officials are still missing the message of Tuesday's vote.
Peter Sherwin, an Eastlake resident and former Monorail activist, said the loss shows Seattle got bad advice from its "citizens transportation advisory committee" that included staff from Downtown Seattle Association, Sierra Club, Transportation Choices Coalition, Vulcan and others he describes as "paid lobbyists." People whose livelihoods depend on cars and trucks weren't represented, he said.
Some of the Proposition 1 spending was foggy, such as $14 million for non-car education projects, incentives or service partnerships.
John Littel, political director of the Northwest Carpenters Union, cast the lone no vote on the advisory committee. His take-away from the election? "Investing in alternative transportation is fine, but don't do it on the backs of people who own cars."

Still, I'm hoping for a reunion of Spoby. Tencer. Whatevs, they had one of the few healthy relationships on the show. Check out the clip from Monday's brand new episode of Pretty Little Liars airing at 8 pm ET on MuchMusic.

Debts closing in on photographer Annie Leibovitz
In 2008, a design firm that did work on one of her Greenwich Village properties claimed that she owed it $51,000. Leibovitz was also accused that year of refusing to pay $386,000 to a photo stylist during a 2007 shoot Leibovitz did for the Disney Company in 2007.
Her spokesman, Hiltzik, declined Thursday to discuss her finances.
"Annie is working to resolve the situation so it would be inappropriate to comment," Hiltzik said.
Art Capital Group, which consolidated all her loans in September 2008, charged in its lawsuit that Leibovitz breached the contract by refusing to allow real estate experts into her homes to appraise their value and by blocking ACG from selling her photographs.
ACG has estimated the value of the Leibovitz portfolio at $40 million; real estate brokers say her New York properties are worth about $40 million.
Manhattan luxury real estate broker Leonard Steinberg of Prudential Douglas Elliman estimated the two Greenwich Village townhouses would be worth $14 million to $18 million in today's market. Steinberg is not the broker on the property.
Leibovitz also owned an apartment in Paris, which she bought for her longtime companion, writer and feminist Susan Sontag.
Leibovitz gave birth at the age of 51 to her daughter Sara in 2001, and has twins, who were born to a surrogate in 2005.
ACG, with art gallery-like offices on Madison Avenue, is in effect a high-end pawn shop and just like pawn shops, is just as happy to see a default, according to art and money experts.
Under the sales agreement with Leibovitz, Illingworth said, the company would get 10 percent commission on the sale of Leibovitz' real estate and 15 percent on the sale of her portfolio. Leibovitz would get the remainder after paying off the $24 million loan, interest and other fees, he said. If she defaults, the company would get a net 12 percent commission, after paying approximately 13 percent for costs and fees.
Leibovitz, 6 feet tall with long blond tresses, joined Vanity Fair in 1983. Over the years, her lens has captured the rich and famous: Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Bruce Springsteen among them. She gave the world its first glimpse of baby Suri, newborn daughter of Hollywood's superstar couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, on the cover of Vanity Fair.
Her Vanity Fair salary has been reported to be about $2 million, according to New York magazine. She also has done work for Louis Vuitton and American Express; she charges $100,000 for private portraits.
A meticulous and demanding artist designated a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress, Leibovitz makes her photo shoots lavish, sometimes theatrical affairs. For a portrait of Kristin Dunst as Marie Antoinette, she flew the actress and a crew to Paris for a shoot at the Versailles. She put Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub of warm milk. Many of her images are provocative and controversial, including those last year of 15-year-old Miley Cyrus exposing bare shoulders and back, and a portrait of a very pregnant and nude Demi Moore in 1991.
Her financial problems escalated in 2003, during the renovation of her Greenwich Village townhouses. A neighbor sued her for $15 million after a common wall between their buildings was damaged. Leibovitz eventually settled by buying the neighbor's property for $1.9 million.
Silverman, a past president of the New York State Bar Association bankruptcy committee, is not familiar with Leibovitz's case. But he said a bankruptcy reorganization filing would give her control of what assets need to be sold and which to keep.
"It would allow her to decide the manner and method of the disposition," he said.

About the Audi A8
The Audi A8 replaces the old Audi V8, discontinued in 1994. It is the top-end of Audi's luxury sedan class, which includes the A4 and A6, offering full-size comfort, but the handling and maneuverability of a much smaller car, thanks to some technological innovations.
Audi is known for elegantly-appointed interiors, with loads of standard features that make the word "options" obsolete. Over its history, the A8 only continued to add on, offering leather seats, 16-way adjustable front seats, front and rear lumbar support, a solar sunroof, rear window shades, front and rear climate control, heated seats and steering wheel, and massaging seats. Again, these are all standard. Audi figures we spend so much time in our cars, they must satisfy a variety of needs -- from the roominess and cargo space of families, to the sophisticated quiet luxury of business clients, to the personal quest for driving excitement. The Audi A8 offers all of these in a classically styled, understated package.
Some of the A8's innovations contribute to its precise, yet powerful performance. The A8 was the first U.S. car to feature an aluminum body, engine, and suspension. The Audi Space Frame technology greatly reduced the weight of this full-size sedan, thereby increasing fuel economy and engine performance on the highway. It handled more nimbly than comparably-sized cars, but the aluminum gave it more rigidity for tighter control on the road. Audi's continued quattro technology remains unbeaten, even by SUVs, in the way it attacks snow and ice. An adaptive air suspension system, introduced recently, allows the driver to adjust the suspension to specific road conditions for maximum balance and performance.
Audi has always suffered from a poor customer service reputation and costly maintenance records. But overall, drivers feel the A8 far surpasses its German brethren in terms of quality build and interior comfort, and the AWD is one of the best out there. The A8's understated exterior often causes it to be overlooked, but its technical advances and creature comforts seem to strike the right balance of form and function without overwhelming its passengers.

Fed Poised to Keep Low Rate: Coming Week
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The market heads into the thick of earnings season next week, but investors have already become accustomed to better-than-expected results since half of the Dow components that already reported have beaten estimates. With earnings anxiety largely dissolved, the market can shift its attention to the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee rate decision on Wednesday and Friday's GDP report for the latest read on the strength of the economic recovery.
"What we've seen so far is a very strong earnings season, but the market isn't really reacting that much, perhaps because people were expecting strong improvement," said Michael Sansoterra, portfolio manager for the RidgeWorth Large Cap Growth Fund.
Next week kicks off with key results from Caterpillar (CAT), Humana (HUM) and Texas Instruments (TXN), which are expected to post per-share profits of 39 cents, $1.14 and 51 cents, respectively. Big energy names like BP (BP), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) are also on tap alongside results from oil service firms like BJ Services (BJS) and Smith International (SII). BP is expected to show a profit of $1.57 a share while Exxon and Chevron are forecast to post earnings of $1.41 a share and $1.93 a share, respectively.
"So far, there have not been many major disappointments," Avalon Partners chief market economist Peter Cardillo said of the current earnings season. "But I think that's already priced into the market, so the real driving force next week will be the economic data."> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll The first-quarter GDP report from the Commerce Department will be released on Friday, but Cardillo doesn't foresee any surprises. He anticipates GDP expansion of 3.75%, which is ahead of the 3.5% growth that economists have been projecting. The most highly-anticipated release, however, will be the Federal Open Market Committee's rate decision announcement at 2:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 28. Although the fed funds rate is expected to remain unchanged, speculation about the statement has been swirling since

On Sunday, 26 September 2010 a company of about 100 people gathered at Blacksike Bridge, some half a mile north of the Gretna Visitor Centre, for the unveiling of a memorial plaque to commemorate those lost in the Quintinshill Rail Disaster which occurred in the early morning of Saturday, 22 May 1915. The troop train collided with the stationary local passenger train which had been shunted onto the up track to allow the London to Glasgow overnight express to pass. The express ran into the debris of the original crash causing even more casualties. The cause of the accident was the failure of the signalman on duty to put a collar onto the signal lever; this would have prevented his pulling off the signal so stopping the train from the north.
The train from the north had left Larbert near Falkirk about 2.45 am carrying A and D Companies plus the Headquarters of the 1/7th Royal Scots on their way to Liverpool en route to Gallipoli.
As a result of the crash a total of 227 lost their lives; 213 members of the 1/7th Royal Scots, two members of the 8th HLI attached to the Royal Scots, a total of nine passengers, including several officers proceeding home on leave and three railwaymen. The injured, numbering 246 included,191 officers and other ranks, 51 passengers and four railwaymen.
At the ceremony, after welcoming everyone, the local minister Rev Bryan Haston conducted the Service of Dedication. The plaque which had been commissioned by the Springfield and Gretna Green Community Council was unveiled by Eileen Muir and the inscription on the plaque was read by John Cameron, chairman of the Scotland (South) Branch of the Western Front Association. The words on the plaque were written by the late Denis Muir, a local historian and poet who was instrumental in keeping the story of Quintinshill in the public eye.
No wreath to commemorate our glory day,
Nor tears to be shed on this permanent way.
Just "Flowers of the Forest" for youth in their prime
For the piper's lament stills the passage of time.
No wreaths and no sorrows as memories unfurl,
Just eternity's promise
"They shall never grow old"
After a minute's silence and the recital of Binyon's famous lines, piper Ashleigh Bell played the Scottish lament "The Flowers of the Forest". The service closed with Rev Haston pronouncing the Benediction.
The company were invited back to Stormont Hall, Headless Cross, Gretna Green for refreshments of tea and the opportunity to see a display about the disaster.

Please note that, contrary to the BBC report, the plaque is on Blacksike Bridge just north of the crash site and not on Quintinshill Bridge which is south of the crash site.

St. Louis police shoot, kill knife-wielding manAugust 19, 2014 @ 12:24 pm (Updated: 2:33 pm - 8/19/14 )
The shooting happened just a few miles from Ferguson, where a police officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old, Michael Brown, has touched off days of protests.
St. Louis Police Capt. Ed Kuntz said police responded shortly after noon following a report of a robbery at a convenience store. The man, 23, had a knife and refused police orders to drop the weapon, Kuntz said.
When the man allegedly raised the knife and moved toward the officers, both opened fire, killing him, said Kuntz, who commands the police district where the incident occurred.
Police Chief Sam Dotson said the man was acting erratically and told officers to "shoot me now, kill me now."
A man who said he witnessed the shooting, Robert Addison, 36, said the suspect cursed officers as he told them, "You'll have to kill me."
Both officers were placed on administrative duty pending an investigation, but Kuntz said the shooting appeared to be justified. The names of the officers and the suspect were not immediately released.
Still, a crowd of about 100 onlookers gathered at the site within an hour of the shooting. Some chanted "Hands up, don't shoot," which has become the mantra of protesters in Ferguson.
Brown's death at the hands of a white Ferguson officer on Aug. 9 has led to several days of clashes between protesters and police. Both Brown and the man killed in St. Louis were black.
Ferguson officer Darren Wilson has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting of Brown. The investigation could be turned over to a grand jury as early as Wednesday, though it isn't clear how long it will be before a determination is made about whether Wilson will be charged.

Board extends test of icing rule
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … American Hockey League President and Chief Executive Officer David Andrews announced today that the league's Board of Governors has voted to continue the current test of AHL Rule 82 ("Icing") until the resumption of play in the National Hockey League, at which time it will be reconsidered by the AHL Board.
At the request of the National Hockey League, the AHL Board of Governors in June approved a test of a variation of Rule 82 that, in the event of a potential icing violation, completes the play should a defending player be the first to reach the end zone face-off dots and provided the puck will cross the goal line at that point.
The test of the rule had originally been in effect until Nov. 19, at which time the Board was to consider its continuation.

A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1.5M mark and your nice new red pickup truck! Wow! Truly awesome! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 2M milestone! More than 90% of all the GBs that signed up over the past 13+ years will never make it to 1M points! You're one of only 5,422 GBs, of more than 8,000,000 GBs, that have accumulated at least 1,500,000 points! Can you believe that GBs are still active going on 13+ years and heading for the 5M milestone, and many GBs continue on before they retire between 3M and 4M! Keep going, don't stop now, like so many that retired once they reached their first red car or stopped at 2M! Keep leading the way for others to follow in GasBuddyland! Thank you for your 4+ years of dedication here on GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Ron
Congratulations on Earning over 1.4 MM points, enjoy your nice red ATV. Very few buddies ever reach that level,. that is commitment. Wishing you the very best in life. Lets be buddies. Shep

"The Ultimate Marriage Between Man, Woman And Machine"In the past, Earth was under attack from an alien force called the "Mimetic Beasts". They carry the Insania Virus, which usually targets males and mutates them into monstrosities. The Hero, Goh Saruwatari, along with his partner Milla Ackerman, pilots the Humongous Mecha pair Dannar and Neo Okusaer and led the final battle against the Hive Queen of the Mimetic Beasts, driving it away at the cost of Milla's life, but in the same time, Goh saved a young girl named Anna Aoi, the daughter of his boss. Attempting to get over Milla's death (whom he actually loved), Goh decided to move on and...proposed to Anna, despite the age gap (Anna's still a high school girl, Goh is...well, someone that would be of a tenured salaryman).Flash forward Twenty Minutes into the Future.Five years later, all's set for Goh and Anna to get married. Anna already confirms her vow, but right before Goh can declare his...he gets an urgent call that the Mimetic Beasts are back and he needs to go pilot the Dannar and quell them again, thus forcing him to delay stating the vow to Anna. Frustrated, she tries to follow Goh, only to find the Neo Okusaer, sealed after Milla's death. Anna goes on to pilot it (since she's somehow a master of a similar riding game) and helps Goh, and thus their life as a newlywed couple and Humongous Mecha pilot commence. Their two mechs can even combine into the mighty Godannar, complete with a final attack that requires both of them working in tandem to pull off.This show is notorious for the amount of fanservice presented, especially gainaxing. At the same time, it's unique in that it combines over-the-top super robot action with, of all things, a nice dose of Character Development: more exactly, an examination of marriage, as Goh and Anna face difficulties both on the battlefield and in their relationship.

8 Emerging-Market Stocks to Watch
2. LDK Solar (LDK), a producer of solar wafers and solar module manufacturer, sells multicrystalline and monocrystalline silicon wafers to manufacturers of solar cells and modules. The company has its production facility in the Xinyu city of Jiangxi Province, China. Besides, LDK also engages in providing wafer-processing services.
To meet growing semiconductor, solar and flat panel display demand, LDK Solar recently invested $35 million in a manufacturing line to produce silane gas at its Mahong Plant in China.
The facility will have a designed capacity of 2,000 metric tons, with construction expected to commence in the third quarter of 2011. Commercial production is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2012. In the absence of a domestic silane gas supplier, LDK is likely to gain first-mover advantage through its product offerings.To leverage the growing opportunities in the LED industry, LDK announced a business investment of almost $40 million to establish a new manufacturing plant in Jiangxi Province. The facility will have the capacity to supply two million two-inch equivalent pieces of sapphire wafers per year. Additionally, with the launch of a new cell-manufacturing site in Anhui Province, LDK Solar's cell capacity is seen expanding to 570 MW per annum. Of the 25 analysts covering the stock, 36% rate it a buy while 44% rate it a hold. Analysts polled by Bloomberg have an average price target of $15.10 over the next 12 months, implying upside of 39.3%.

Review - Movenpick Hotel Heliopolis
Don't ever stay here!Submitted by: A Travel Library User in 30/08/05
- Age Group: 31 - 40
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Business Traveller
This gets my vote as Cairo's worst 5* hotel. When I stayed here, my credit card didn't work on their machines (even though it was fine everywhere else), there was a power cut, there were no snacks in the business lounge and you had to go to a different floor to check in. I only stayed over night here and that was too long. The best thing I can say is that it is near the airport, so you can go home easily from here. Location is really bad for being in the city.

international advisory committee, was established in the late 1960s to provide formal advice to the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). JOIDES was a major initiative by the oceanographic community to develop a mechanism for international cooperative activities. Evolving from JOIDES was JOI, a formal not-for-profit corporation. JOI consists of 10 U.S. ocean science institutions that operate many of the large ships in the oceanographic fleet, employ a majority of U.S. academic ocean scientists, and receive a majority of the research funding. The JOI institutions are
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California
Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, Columbia University
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii
Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami
College of Oceanography, Oregon State University
Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island
College of Geosciences and Maritime Studies, Texas A&M University
Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas
College of Ocean and Fisheries Sciences, University of Washington
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
With the exception of Woods Hole, which has a joint education program with the Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT), each oceanographic program is an integral part of a major university.
Another cooperative organization of oceanographic institutions is the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), an association of ship operators and ship users that is discussed in more detail below. Because UNOLS provides access to facilities for scientists at institutions without ships, an increased number of universities can be involved in open ocean research. These universities may not have interests in all facets of oceanography, but they have significant strengths in certain areas. Examples of such universities are the Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara campuses of the University of California, Northwestern University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Princeton University.
The institutions developed within and outside the government for the pursuit of an understanding of the ocean are diverse, much more so than in most other scientific fields. Oceanography is conducted by individuals working as faculty members in conven-
