Obama Proposes to Shake-up Higher Education | 08.23.13
Citing "higher education as the single most important investment students can make in their own futures," the Obama administration offered a plan to make college more affordable for American families.
Among several proposals, the initiative would create a new ratings system for judging colleges based on the value they provide to students and taxpayers. The new ratings system would become available before the 2015 academic year and would use a combination of factors to determine value:
- student outcomes (i.e., graduation rates and graduation earnings),
- affordability (average tuition, scholarships, and manageable loan debt) and
- access (the percentage of students receiving Federal Pell Grants).
Institutional eligibility for student aid funding would be linked to these ratings starting in 2018. Students who enroll at high-performing colleges would receive larger Federal Pell Grants and better interest rates on loans.
Additionally, the plan would create an incentive program for colleges based upon the number of Federal Pell Grant recipients they graduate, similar to a 2004 proposal (subscription required) by Robert Shireman for "placing a bounty on each grant recipient's head." The proposal would also tie completion of a certain percentage of classes, as opposed to enrollment or seat time, to a student's continued receipt of financial aid. In short, the proposal would link "federal student aid to college performance so that students maximize their federal aid at institutions providing the best value."
Providing clear information about college affordability and quality will help families make more informed decisions about where to enroll. But tying institutional aid eligibility to a new scorecard measure might hurt access to postsecondary education while failing to improve quality. In a 2012 student aid policy analysis paper, Mark Kantrowitz, Publisher of Edvisors, demonstrated that tying aid eligibility to graduation rates would have counter-intuitive results. For example, establishing a 20% minimum graduation rate for Federal Pell Grant eligibility would shift $5 billion in funding away from community colleges, reducing the number of students obtaining college degrees. Faced with the potential loss of federal aid funding, colleges would become more selective in the students they admit. The quickest path to improved graduation rates is to block access by high-risk students, as opposed to eliminating barriers to student success. Improving graduation rates does not, however, increase the number of students graduating. Consider that there is more room for improvement at colleges with the lowest graduation rates. Shifting funding from low-performing schools to high-performing schools might improve graduation rates at the elite institutions by a little, but this will be more than offset by the reduction in the number of students graduating from the colleges that serve at-risk students. Also, the higher performance at the elite institutions may have more to do with their aggregating the most talented students than in the value added by these colleges. About 11% of the enrollment at the most-selective institutions is Federal Pell Grant recipients, compared with about a quarter of the students at public and private non-profit institutions and two-thirds of the students at for-profit colleges. Most potential quality measures will be heavily influenced by demographics.
For example, students who are single parents have high dropout rates. If their babysitter is sick, they have to stay home from school, missing classes. When they miss enough classes, they fall behind and their academic performance suffers. A college could react to the Obama proposal by denying admission to students who are least likely to graduate, hurting access to college by these students. Or the college could implement programs to provide these students with high quality childcare facilities, such as by providing reliable childcare on campus and giving students lists of emergency drop-in childcare facilities. The former action hurts access to college while the latter helps and, ideally, enhances persistence and graduation rates.
The real problem continues to be inadequate funding of postsecondary education by the federal and state governments.
State legislatures have cut their appropriations for decades, despite higher enrollments, forcing colleges to do more with less. This is the primary driver of public college tuition inflation. There are three main outcomes from cuts in state appropriations: increases in college tuition, shifts in enrollment from in-state students to out-of-state and international students who pay higher out-of-state tuition rates, and cuts in enrollment to match the lower available funding.
President Obama's proposal might hurt low-income students more than it helps. Federal Pell Grant funding has decreased on a constant dollar per-student basis. The failure of grants to keep pace with increases in college costs forces students to graduate with thousands of dollars of additional debt, to shift their enrollment from higher-cost colleges to lower-cost colleges (e.g., not just from private non-profit colleges to public colleges, but also from 4-year colleges to 2-year colleges, hurting Bachelor's degree attainment rates), and for some students, especially low-income students, to avoid college enrollment altogether. Low and moderate-income students are increasingly being priced out of a college education.
There are, however, some good ideas in the Obama administration's proposal. For example, current federal law requires colleges to disburse federal student aid once an academic term. Colleges would like the flexibility to use multiple disbursements over the term, to help students better manage their financial aid funds. This would teach students basic money management skills, such as budgeting, many of them desire, but lack.

Click here to preview Jackie's video.
Her keynote presentation, The Courage to Succeed, shows us how we can all become peak performers through our attitude and our reactions to change, adversity, and challenge. It is designed for groups who want to boost morale, provide their people with a lift, and inspire them to do their very best on a daily basis.
Jackie travels nationally and internationally to speak to groups of business executives, educational leaders and professional associations. In her presentations, she relays the story of her captivity; then details the skills she had employed to survive and grow, and most importantly, how the audience can apply these methods to their own lives.
The audience reaction is predictable. Emotions are surfaced, barriers fall, and the audience becomes open to change their own way in dealing with daily personal as well as professional challenges. Feedback cites that the audience members learn to look at challenge from a different perspective. Mountains don't seem as tall as before, and trivialities in life lose their importance, leading the listener to focus on more important professional and personal issues.

At age 13, the boy began suffering headaches so intense he would lie in the fetal position until he passed out. On July 7, 1988, surgeons made an incision from the back of his head to the base of his neck to remove a golf-ball size tumor from his brain stem. The location of the tumor affected the balance and his vision. For three years, the first thing he did when his feet hit the floor in the morning was vomit. He weighed 90 pounds during his senior year.July 1988 might seem like a lifetime ago for an accomplished triathlete, someone whose success is measured daily, in tenths of seconds.For Brian Melekian, it represents life's starting line. It's when a 13-year-old boy stared down death, stopped asking "Why me?" and began to ask "Why not?"Melekian, of Los Angeles, was a brain cancer survivor long before he was a champion triathlete. He hopes to bring his story to West Des Moines for the fourth Hy-Vee Triathlon June 12-13.Q: Does the memory of your illness serve as a driving force in competition? A: There comes a point in almost any race or long training day when you ask yourself why are you doing this or how do you go on. When I visit with kids dealing with cancer, kids who don't know whether or not they are going to live or die, if they will be able to walk again, kids attached to tubes and wires, it isn't hard for me to find the motivation in something like a race. In fact it makes it all pale in comparison. During Ironman Arizona last year, I was feeling tired after a long swim and halfway through the bike was dealing with a crippling stomach ache. There came this moment though where I thought back to the summer of re-learning how to walk, to dribbling a basketball 1,000 times with my left hand, 1,000 times with my right just so I could remember how to do it again and I just started laughing. A stomach ache? Tired legs? It all seemed silly in comparison with that summer of 1988. Q: Why endurance sports? A: I fell into long distance triathlons pretty much by accident. I started with a sprint and liked it, though I really couldn't get too deeply into a sport that was predicated on how fast you could change your clothes. So I gravitated to half-Ironman races and finally Ironman races because what's in your heart becomes much more important. 70.3 or 140.6 miles is a long distance to cover, and I found that it is a great equalizer. Q: What advice would you give someone facing the same health challenges? A: We all face hardships in life. Illness, death, you name it. When it comes to being diagnosed with a serious disease, even a terminal disease, though, everything changes. There is nothing else that matters and that becomes your singular focus. To that person, young or old, I would say: fight. Fight for your life and never give up. Never give up hope because you never know what is going to happen. If you choose to roll over, to quit, then yes there is a good chance you won't make it or that you will live a life of limitations of your own creation. If you choose not to quit, though, there is no limit. I never once thought about dying when I was diagnosed with brain cancer; the thought of dying never crossed my mind.And I didn't. But then I chose to close off and get angry for what happened to me and play the victim and so that was my life for many years. It was only in letting go of all that and choosing to live a better, bigger life than that, that I did. Simply put, never give up, no matter what. Q: You work with Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Tell us about the genesis of that relationship. A: In 2007 I signed up for the Malibu Triathlon which benefitted Children's Hospital Los Angeles for the first time that year. I was put in touch with a member of the Hospital Foundation who asked if I would like to join their team, which at the time had 30 members. It was the first contact of any kind I had had with the Hospital. For so many years I had just felt angry and didn't want anything to do with any memories of the hospital. By 2008, however, I was asked to become the Coach and Captain for the team which meant visiting the hospital and sharing my story with many different people. It was the first time I had openly talked about getting diagnosed with cancer, dealing with cancer and ultimately the slow, painful recovery from cancer. But in sharing the story over and over, the gravity and the emotion of it evaporated. What became clear is that this wasn't about me or what I went through. It was about what I could do to help other people, what my story of recovery could do to help someone suffering. Triathlon is swimming, biking and running, not exactly as significant as surviving cancer or dealing with the adversity that life can throw our way. That said, it is an excellent medium to communicate what you can accomplish when you refuse to quit.

We were all sitting under the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the afternoon.
The tree shades the ground
From the afternoon sun-
As its blossoms flutter to the ground.
This class taught me a lot of important things about Japanese culture that I did not know before, but more importantly it taught me valuable things about life. I learned that failure is inevitable, but then, so is success. It is best to just be at the zero level- of nothing- than to be either up or down because then you are always going to face the other extreme next. I also learned to appreciate lyrical moments. Instead of rushing around worrying where I have to be next, I now appreciate the things along the way- images, sounds, and smells of the world around me. Most importantly, this class was focused on evanescence. Knowing that everything is constantly changing gives me some comfort because now I'm ready for it. I won't face change with sadness and despair, but with positivity for what is to come in the future. Maybe my happiness won't last, but neither will sadness. And besides, there is beauty in sadness. After taking this class, I try to make sure I live every day like it could be my last, appreciating every moment for what it is worth.

'Flappy Bird' Creator Follows Through, Game Removed From App Stores
If you didn't think he'd actually do it, you were wrong. Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen followed through with his promise to remove the game from app stores, and as his 22 hour deadline passed, the game was indeed taken down from Apple's iOS store and the Android/Google Play marketplace.I'll admit, I was skeptical this deadline would be met, but apparently he set the wheels in motion, and never looked back. There are still no updates from Nguyen on Twitter since his string of messages yesterday saying that he "couldn't take" the attention and infamy from Flappy Bird, and he was taking the game down. He also said he wasn't going to sell it, and that "he still makes games."
Indeed Nguyen still has several other top app store games including Super Ball Juggling and Shuriken Block which are currently #4 and #18 on the iOS store respectively.
Nguyen claimed that Flappy Bird had "ruined his simple life" by attracting too much attention from a critical games.... Continue reading on Forbes.

Play Flappy Bird Online
Another bird is holding the attention
of millions of mobile gamers worldwide. The absurdly difficult and
addictive Flappy Bird has inspired hysterical reviews and rants on the
internet as it fluttered to the top of the charts on Google Play as well as the Apple iTunes.
The concept is simple: you tap the
screen of your mobile device anywhere to make the highly pixelated bird
move up. This is the only control you have over the bird as you try to
navigate it through gaps between the green pipes on the way. Hit any
pipe and you're out. Seems simple, doesn't it?
However, you will find that 50 million
frustrated downloaders disagree with you. Inspired by the classic video
game Super Mario Bros, there is no reason for Flappy bird to have become
as big a sensation as it has. This delightful yet spirit-crushing game
has inspired the hate of millions across the globe who have fallen to
the mighty power of the bird. The defining feature of the game is that
despite its simple concept, it is nearly impossible to score in. It is
not uncommon to find users in internet forums rejoicing about achieving a
high score of 6.
This 8-bit game, inferior to most other
games in terms of graphics or design, has followed the likes of Angry
Birds, Candy Crush or Paper Toss and achieved the status of a viral hit.
This rise to fame is helped along by reviewers who write about the
Curse of the Bird and warn others not to follow them down the dark hole
of Flappy Bird. Interestingly, despite their apparent irritation, users
still give the game five stars and continue their quest to keep the bird
alive. Now you can play this frustrating game online and waster your
time with our website.

Hello list,
I would like to share a piece I've just finished.
The original blog entry is here, but for your convenience I'll include a copy into this mail.
Feel free to use any channel you want if you would like to comment on it.
http://www.nilsgey.de/2012/02/29/airship-theme/Airship - A 16bit Soundtrack Theme
direct download: http://www.nilsgey.de/uploads/NilsGey-AirshipTheme.mp3I have finished my first just-for-fun composition since a very long time ago. It is a game-soundtrack like piece I named "Airship". I can imagine this in a Japanese 90's RPG from the SNES or Sega Genesis/MegaDrive era.
Software used: Laborejo composition and midi generation, Fluidsynth for midi to wave rendering and Ardour for the fadeout :) .
I used an .sf2 called Setzers SPC which I have downloaded here. I am not sure about the soundfonts legal status so I am careful and release the Airship Theme not as a free piece but just as: Listen to it freely, share and redistribute it but don't use it in any work, derived or original, or as part of a game or video etc. Don't do anything commercial with it and don't change the mp3 tags. If you find a named, matching License to this description feel free to use that instead.
I would be very happy if you leave a comment or click this blogs "Like" button.

high availability (HA)
In information technology, high availability refers to a system or component that is continuously operational for a desirably long length of time.
In information technology, high availability refers to a system or component that is continuously operational for a desirably long length of time. Availability can be measured relative to "100% operational" or "never failing." A widely-held but difficult-to-achieve standard of availability for a system or product is known as "five 9s" (99.999 percent) availability.

Since a computer system or a network consists of many parts in which all parts usually need to be present in order for the whole to be operational, much planning for high availability centers around backup and failover processing and data storage and access. For storage, a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is one approach. A more recent approach is the storage area network (SAN).
Some availability experts emphasize that, for any system to be highly available, the parts of a system should be well-designed and thoroughly tested before they are used. For example, a new application program that has not been thoroughly tested is likely to become a frequent point-of-breakdown in a production system.

Budding writers can develop their storytelling skills thanks to a new course launched by the Centre for Lifelong Learning.
Telling Tales is one of more than 400 courses starting this September as part of the Centres new Choices prospectus.
Led by author Lynne Barrett-Lee, Telling Tales offers firsthand practical and theoretical tuition, tips and advice on the craft of creative writing. It will also give writers the opportunity to go through analysis, application and inspiration, to get them crafting truly compelling fiction and also includes advice on finding markets and getting published.
Speaking about Telling Tales, Lynne Barrett-Lee said: "The passing on of stories is as old as mankind, and the urge to tell them, for many of us, runs deep. Those of us who find ourselves afflicted by what many writers liken to a disease, will know only too well that the true writer can't not write. As is so eloquently stated by the author Gracie Harmon, we are "just people who have a whole lot on the inside that they need to get to the outside, with pen and paper as their preferred method of transport". Writers, in the main, write compulsively; we enjoy creating fiction out of the facts all around us, and even if we're not all scribbling furiously in cafes, then we're often to be found, miles away, staring into space, while engaged in doing likewise in our heads."
"My course is for anyone who has not yet started to write as well as those who are more experienced. Writing fiction, in the first instance, requires just three things: a desire to tell tales (that disease I mentioned earlier); an imagination (if it's rusty, no matter; it will be nurtured) and most of all, a sense of adventure. In other words – bar perhaps a working knowledge of written English – nothing the average person can't muster, if telling tales looks like becoming an affliction for you too…"
Telling Tales starts on Friday 1st October 2010 at the Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning. Lynne Barrett-Lee has published seven novels including Barefoot In The Dark which was shortlisted for the Melissa Nathan Award for Comedy Romance in 2007. She is also a popular columnist for the Western Mail.
Cardiff University's Centre for Lifelong Learning offers hundreds of courses covering a range of subject areas, including Languages, Business and Management and Computer Studies. Whether it is for personal or professional development or purely recreational, there is almost certainly a course available to suit all tastes. To get your free copy of Choices, and to see a full list of courses starting this September, contact the Centre on 029 2087 0000 or visit the website www.cardiff.ac.uk/learn.

Single License | Develop one application and sell as many copies as you want of that application. You can also sell several design variations, customizations and device ports of your application. Further features:
99.00 Euro |
Please read the full license-conditions carefully:
If you have a question regarding the licensing of J2ME Polish, please get in touch with Robert Virkus, j2mepolish@. enough.de
Why and when do I need a commercial license?
When you develop applications with J2ME Polish, specific APIs are woven into your application during the build process, i.e. the GUI classes, the serialization classes, the game-engine classes, the localization classes, the logging classes, etc. Since your application then uses these classes you effectively link agains the J2ME Polish library. The GNU GPL license requires you to publish your completely source code solely under the GNU GPL again. That's why the alternative commercial licenses exist. These commercial licenses allow you to use J2ME Polish completely without any restrictions for your commercial applications.
So what constitutes a 'single application'?
If you want to license J2ME Polish for one or several single applications, you need to obtain one Single License for each application.
We define a 'single application' like a layman would do - so as long as a normal person would still regard this application as being the same. A single application can include for example:
- Several versions
- Different device ports
- Design customizations
- Localizations
- Small functionality changes like a customized user navigation, different about screens, and similar
As sooon as the main objective or the core feature set of an application changes, it will not constitute a 'single application' in our licensing terms - so please obtain an additional license for this scenario. Also different branches like a 'basic' and an 'enterprise' version of your application usually requires separated licensing. If in doubt please ask us on j2mepolish@ enough.de.
In what cases do I NOT need a commercial license?
You can use J2ME Polish build framework commercially for closed source application as well.
However you must not use any of the following advanced features without obtaining a commercial license or without open sourcing your application as well:
- The J2ME Polish GUI
- The Serialization Framework
- The Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Framework
- The Persistence Framework
- The Game Engine / MIDP/2.0 compatible game-API
- The Localization Framework
- The BitMapFont classes
- Any utility classes
When you use any of the above features you need to use the commercial license of J2ME Polish. The legal reason is that in those cases you link your application code with J2ME Polish code - this linking requires then either open sourcing your application's code or obtaining a commercial license.
There is one exemption: you may use the logging framework commercially using the #debug preprocessing statements.
You can use the building framework along with the device database, the preprocessing, the resource assembling and so on for building commercial J2ME applications without acquiring a commercial license.
You can also extend J2ME Polish by using the extension points (that are all based on the de.enough.polish.Extension class) without needing to release your extension under the GPL. The same applies for your own backgrounds and borders that are based on J2ME Polish. So you can create and sell commercial extensions for J2ME Polish without needing to license J2ME Polish yourself.
The device database itself is also licensed under the GPL, so if you want to use the database for something different than building your applications, you need our written consent first (or publish your project under the GPL again).
Support Options
For Support Options visit this page.
Open Source Excemption
Any projects that are published under an open source license approved by the Open Source Initiative may use J2ME Polish without restrictions. Note that this does not apply for closed source products derived from such products.
Security of Investments
When the development on J2ME Polish should be discontinued, Enough Software will license the full product under the GNU Lesser General Public License, allowing full commercial usage without limitations. Thus Enough Software offers a very high investment security!

Up here in Boston occassionaly we see these commercials for SteinMart. It looks like a very nice place to shop I must say., The only problem being up until yesterday I didn't know if we had any in New England, let alone the state of MA.
Well lo and behold a friend of mine said yes there is one here about 45 mins. from where I live. So today,we are going to take a ride and see what SteinMart is all about. If you shop there what do you like about it, or dislike for that matter? June |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's Ok, not great, in my opinion. I'd compare the clothes quality to Kohl's, I guess. Some of the deals on housewares are good. It's just not a "go to" for me. |
- Posted by arkansas_girl (My Page) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 7:38
All I can say is that I used to go there all the time and I loved it. That was many years ago and so many stores have somehow lost their way these days. But if I saw the store, I would definitely go there! |
- Posted by juellie1962 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 9:08
I just went the first time a couple weeks ago. Wasn't impressed with the clothes, or the prices. No big deals to be had. I did buy some cute ornaments though! |
There's a SM near where my Mother lived. Since she's now passed away, I never go to SM anymore. I did like their quality and prices.I don't think there is a SM anywhere on Long Island. |
I love SteinMart. They have cute clothes and I could spend hours browsing the houseware departments. Shoes are nice but pricey. Nice men's clothing, too. I like the one in Gainesville better than the one here in Ocala. G-ville caters to a younger crowd than this one. |
I love their decor items, but their clothing, not so much. |

My sister is always talking about what she buys at the store when she is in St. Louis - she loves shopping at the store. Anne |
When I lived in Texas years ago, I loved the store for decent quality clothes and cute housewares similar, but in much smaller quantity, to HomeGoods. The last time I went, the selection was reduced and I walked out empty-handed. If I happened to be by one, I would probably check it out, but I wouldn't go out of my way. |
One opened near us. I went once--it was like a Ross or Marshall's--raggy looking imported clothes, overpriced for the quality. I hear a lot of people who claim to get good deals at all those stores--I never have much luck at them--the clothes are always way, way out of date, damaged, wrinkled, and look like they were tossed around in the stockroom for a while before being brought out to the floor. |
We have one near me and another one just opened on the other side of town, so they must be fairly popular here. Personally, I don't shop there often as I really don't find clothes that appeal to me. I did buy a purse there a couple of years ago. Both the price and the quality were excellent!Our daily paper always has weekly coupons for 20 to 30 per cent off. |
Went in the one close to me on Thursday. Haven't been there in several years. Nothing hollared out my name, so I left. |

I have found several nice things there over the years when I was still working. In fact, I was in a fashion show that featured their clothes and ended up buying the sparkly evening pant suit I modeled with the necklaces. It was so comfortable, flattering and reasonable that I knew I should buy it though I had no immediate use for it. Lo and behold, several years later I wore it to my son's wedding in Big Sur, and with the necklaces. I had perhaps worn the suit once before, if that, and not around my family if I had. Our area Stein Marts are like small department stores. They used to carry some nice holiday clothing for Christmas and New Years every fall, but when I went looking last year for a wedding outfit, they didn't have any, so I ended up in something I had saved for a special occasion that was in my closet. |

yes we go and like it. My husband can find tons of ties he just has to have they have a wonderful tie selection and often have good sales on the name brand ties. He has bought several pair of very good quality name brand shoes for work for reduced prices. I have bought several bedding items there. Occasionally I find clothes for me too. I bought several of my bling bling watches there. We always leave with a basket full when we go and they send me sale coupons all the time which is nice. |
I was in one just this past Sunday & got a great deal on bras: 3 Lilyette bras for less than $11 each! I don't go often as the only ones nearby are in Orlando. Ellen |

There is a SM and a Home Goods in Des Moines but I haven't been to either one. I would like to go to HG. |

Well here is my summation of Steinmart... it was a smaller type store but had all depts. They were having a good sale today and I was amazed at the clothing...some of it was outdated , yes. The selection and sizing was very limiited. I was really interested in a Michael Kors coat, but they only had small sizes. The housewares dept. was great. Shoe selection was good....it was so warm in there, and I didn't even wear a coat or jacket...that it cut my browsing time. I just had to get out of there and go sit outside and wait for my friends to finish. Definetly would go back perhaps in the early summer. I did manage to get three tops,one for winter and two that were marked down summer items. Made me happy. :Thanks for your input. June |
We had one in Lewisville Tx when I lived there As I remember it was very nice a small scale department store |
- Posted by jodi_in_so_calif (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 10:52
When the SM moved in to the shopping center across the street from our home 15+ years ago I went to check it out. Came home and told my husband I'd never shop there, it was for old ladies. Now it's one of my favorite places to shop. Oh, how time marches on. :-) Jodi- |
the one that was close(sort of) was very dissapointing..had tjmaxx (same co) prieces for lesser quality things...now they've closed...but then i havn't been to tj maxx or marshalls for sometime.... |

Blue is amazing color when it is placed on appropriate body and in suitable ambiance. This is found absolutely true when Katrina Kaif had worn blue floor length Anarkali lehenga in a remarkable event. If you have desire to leave same signature in your upcoming celebration this attire is fine for you. This designer lehenga will suit you more comfortable as it is made up of the net giving a modern look to your personality.
Designer has carefully constructed this latest Anarkali lehenga by using embroidery work on the cuffs of long sleeves. The creamy cuffs have golden work and same theme is running on the yoke and extending up to ends at bottom. Collar of the Anarkali suit is heavily embellished. The additional blue belt adjacent to the cuff with blue embroidery is making more sense to set a new pattern.
Waistband is again creamy and with golden work matching with the broad border on the Ghehera, at the bottom of the dress. This heavy embellishment on the hem is giving more elegancy to this floor length Anarkali lehenga.

Truly sweet tooths — or is that "teeth?" — across Bradley County can't be happy campers. It comes with good reason. Today is the third day in the final week of the Little Debbie discount outlet's operation in Cleveland.
First came the unwelcome disclosure by snack cake maker Hostess that its longstanding prowess in tummy warmer production was coming to an end, and this meant the demise of every American's favorite — the coveted Twinkie.
In the world of treats, this was blasphemous news to lunch boxes from corner to corner of the republic. Yet, confection developments went from bad to worse for those who read our Dec. 9 edition. Not only has the beloved Twinkie bit the big one, but in Cleveland — to make matters worse — the 20-year-old Little Debbie discount store is shuttering its doors.
For those who like a discount-priced Little Debbie treat here or a convenient snack there, you'd better hurry. The outlet's final day in our hometown is Friday.
It's a doubled-edged sword.
For several years now, U.S. manufacturers have focused on product quality above all else. In some corners, it has trumped profit margin. Whether it's automobiles, appliances, electronics or ... snack cakes ... domestic enterprises have honed in on innovation in order to improve product quality and save on costs.
In the long term, better quality means happier customers which means more return business and favorable word-of-mouth advertising, and all this spells higher market share and heftier financial rewards. Raising the quality of product and packaging, and maximizing process efficiency, reduces discards and lessens waste, and this is good for the manufacturer.
No less is true for McKee Foods, the baker of Little Debbie delightful treats in Collegedale which also operates discount outlets for secondhand inventory — packaging miscues, damage and other slight cases of confectionary "oops" — in Collegedale, Hixson and Cleveland.
The good news for McKee is quality and efficiency are soaring. The bad news for consumers is they now have access to fewer low-cost rejects. This means less need for outlet stores. Subsequently, McKee is closing the Cleveland location while keeping open the discount stores in Collegedale and Hixson.
Company officials hope Little Debbie loyalists in Cleveland will make the short trek over to the Collegedale store to satisfy their confection cravings.
Of McKee's production efficiencies that have pulled the plug on the Cleveland outlet, Communications and Public Relations Manager Mike Gloekler told our newspaper, "We don't have that kind of secondhand inventory anymore. We hate to see it close, but it just makes good business sense."
The local outlet employs only one full-time McKee associate; the remaining workers are temporary staff. The full-time employee has accepted a job in the Collegedale store. So at the very least, the jobs impact is minimal.
But still, Cleveland area residents who want their Little Debbie fix, at a lower price than at grocery stores, now face the brief trip to Collegedale.
Then again, maybe this is the perfect time to start a lower calorie lifestyle ... eight days before Christmas. Hmmm.
Truly in this new world of competitive enterprise, those who are most efficient are those who will survive to see another day.
In most sectors of business, efficiency rules the day.
But in the kingdom of snack cakes, and for those who regularly peruse its sugary shelves, the taste isn't so yummy.
Goodbye, Little Debbie.
It was a sweet run.

That's so hard. I love them all !
I love Chef Mickey's and Kona Cafe for breakfast. The meatball sub at Tony's for Lunch is very good also! We tried the Grand Floridian Cafe the last time we were there because we always loved 1900 Park Fare's dinner buffet, but the last time we went they changed it to foods from different countries, and it was not very good and our chicken wasn't cooked : / but the GF Cafe was very good for dinner!
That's so hard. I love them all !
I made reservations for 50s Prime Time Cafe...I've never been there. Do any of you guys like it?
Believe it or not, this will be the first time me and my mom actually go to a sit down restaurant while at Disney. I guess we just never really thought about it before now and we've always done quick service stuff because we were too busy or too involved with everything to really stop and take the time to go to one of the restaurants. So this will be a first for me and I am excited about it! :-)

Artist's Point at WL
Wound up there on my b-day last year--I am still thinking about the buffalo steak. Wasn't sure about it--tried it, liked it, want some more. It is definitely a must-do on our future WDW trips! And the view--floor to ceiling windows--gorgeous.
My favorite restaurant changes each time I go to WDW due to the circumstances of the time. One year my favorite was the Biergarten in the land of Germany in EPCOT. We were sat with a great family that enjoyed the ein prosit music just as much as our family. Another year my favorite was the Backlot express, I know many of you are saying ewww. During a heavy rain, our family ran for the nearest cover which just happened to be the Backlot Express. We sat there and laughed about how wet we got and about the day we were havinig. A great family moment!
In the parks, we love the Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square. Sneak upstairs for the most cool, quiet place to take a break and peoplewatch through the little windows... the menu isn't fancy, but has great salads, tuna, vegetatian chili, mac and cheese and other things not commonly seen in the fast food places. Great new england seaside village decor, and not expensive at all.
Overall, we like to stay at the Coronado, so Pepper Market is home base... great cooking done at individual display kitchen stations. Meals from all over the world at a pretty good price.
Not so much - the stuffy "fancy" places in the high-end hotels that don't fit in with a casual vacation or a family budget, and the cookie-cutter places in the parks with those same rubbery burgers disguised in different packaging.
We have ate at the 50's primetime cafe and liked it. It was fun and good, but our favorite restuarant, hands down, is Crystal Palace. We went at like the 2:30 seating so we could have a late lunch/early dinner. This is still the lunch price, so you still feel like you get a good deal. The food was AMAZING and the characters were so fun...I'd recommend this to anyone any age!
Victoria & Albert's - September 6th every year for our anniversary!
Character dining faves are the Ohana breakfast with Stitch and the Crystal Palace with the Pooh gang! Doing both on my birthday this month - how excited am I?!
I have to go with Ohana, it was excellent!

Experian CreditExpert gives you unlimited access to your Experian credit report*. The sample below shows you the key features.
Use the links below to navigate the sections of the sample credit report.
Profile Information
Profile Information
These are the details you provide us with when you become a CreditExpert member. We use this information to produce your report.
Profile information - When you join CreditExpert, you give us basic information that lets us identify you and find your credit report when you ask for it. If any of your details change, you can let us know by editing your profile.
Useful addresses - This section lists all the organisations that have contributed information to your credit report. It's a central source of contact details for you if you want to query anything or find out more.
Is your profile up to date? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Electoral Roll
Electoral Roll
This section shows the dates that your name was registered on the electoral roll and the addresses you were recorded at.
How lenders use the electoral roll - Lenders check whether you are registered to vote at your current address as a precaution against fraud. If they don't find you or you're registered at a different address, they may ask for further proof of identity or even turn you down.
Are you on the electoral roll at your current address? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Aliases are created when lenders tell us of other names you have been known by or when you tell us of other names you have used.
Your other names - Many people change their names when they marry or divorce. Others simply don't like the name they were born with or are given a title. This section lists your current and previous names here - your aliases - and allows you to find out who notified the name change.
Are all your names recorded correctly? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Financial Association
Financial Associations
Financial associations show details of anyone you are financially connected to. Financial connections are created by joint accounts, joint applications, joint court judgments or from information you give to us.
Financial associations - When you take out a joint account, such as a joint loan, you create a financial link with the other applicant, who is then listed in your credit report as a financial associate. Lenders may check the credit report of financial associates when you apply, because their financial circumstances could affect your ability to repay.
Is the list of your financial associates up to date? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Public Records
Public Record Information
This section of your credit report contains details about court judgments, bankruptcies and individual voluntary arrangements.
Public records - Your credit report contains information held on public records, such as court judgments for non-payment of debts, any bankruptcies or individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs).
Bankruptcy, IVAs and court judgments - Records of court judgments and IVAs are held on your credit report for six years and bankruptcies are there for at least the same length of time. Judgments that are paid at any time within the six years should be marked as satisfied. Judgments paid within one month are normally set aside and automatically removed from your credit report.
Are details of court judgments, IVAs and bankruptcies up to date? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Account Information
Account Information
Credit account information shows details of your credit agreements with lenders.
Account information - The term "credit" covers every account that gives you something of value - money, goods or services - that you can use today, on the understanding that you will repay the lender at a later date. That's why you'll find items such as utility and mobile phone accounts here, as well as credit cards, loans and mortgages.
Personal information - Every account in your name will affect your credit rating - even if a criminal is impersonating you to borrow money. If you find any accounts you don't recognise, you could be a victim of ID fraud.
Account type - From catalogue shopping to a loan for furniture, you probably have many different types of credit account.
Balance information - This entry shows the current balance of each account - the amount you have spent and not yet repaid. You'll also find the date the account was opened.
Defaulted payments - Look out for an 8 when checking the account status. It means that a lender has terminated the account because you haven't made payments and have failed to come up with a way of putting things right. A defaulted account stays on your credit report for six years and will lower your credit rating.
Status history - Your status history shows whether you are making payments in full and on time.
Are your accounts correct and up to date? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Previous Searches
Previous Searches
Previous searches show the names of organisations that have seen some or all of the information recorded on your credit report within the past 12 months.
Previous searches - You agree to let lenders search your credit report when you apply to them. They may also check when they are preparing a quotation or make routine risk management checks on existing accounts. Other lenders will only see applications for credit searches.
Excessive searches - Multiple applications for credit within a limited period can count against you with other lenders, as it could be a sign you are struggling with your finances. It's important to be sure that nobody has mistaken a request for information for a full application or double-searched your credit report by mistake.
Has anyone searched your credit report unnecessarily? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
Linked Addresses
Linked Addresses
Linked addresses show where you have lived at.
Linked address - If you've moved in the last few years or have applied for credit from an address other than your usual one, for example, a holiday home - then those addresses appear here.
Are your address details up to date? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
CIFAS, the UK's Fraud Prevention Service, aims to detect and prevent fraud and to protect innocent people whose names, addresses or other details are used fraudulently by others to get goods and services.
CIFAS registration - Being on the CIFAS register doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. It's designed to protect you from fraudsters and warns lenders that a criminal has previously tried - perhaps successfully to use your identity to borrow money.
Are you on the CIFAS register? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*
GAIN, the Gone Away Information Network, shows where an individual owes money and has moved without giving the lender a forwarding address.
GAIN information - If you move without telling a lender and are at least 30 days behind with your repayments, your last known address may appear here. Often there is an innocent explanation and the situation can be put right.
Have you forgotten to tell lenders you've moved? Check your credit report with Experian CreditExpert*

Apr 26, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I made this recipe last night but instead of frying up the meatballs, we made them into burgers and broiled them. SO good!!! I only had one pound of ground turkey so I halved the recipe and it worked great. I also added some shredded Parmesan cheese into the mixture and it was delicious.""
Reviewed Potato-Leek Soup With Bacon
Apr 1, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I've never made anything with leeks before but I love soup and wanted to give this a try. It was really easy and VERY good! I already had some store-bought croutons, so I didn't make the homemade ones in this recipe. I also used twice as much bacon and 3 potatoes just for personal preference. We will be adding this to our dinner rotation.""
Reviewed Chicken and Asparagus Crepes
Mar 30, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I made this tonight and it was wonderful! I used a little less butter than it called for in the shallot/asparagus skillet and I couldn't find pre-made crepes at my local grocery stores so I made some myself. My husband's comment was, "I will definitely be okay with you making this again!"""

We are filing this report under 'rumor' section as there are no confirmed reports yet. According to reports Google is finally working on Google branded Android tablet, on the lines of Nexus series of smartphones. Unlike the Google phones which enable developers to have access to an open device, this time Google is reportedly taking aim at Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet.
The tablet will be priced low to compete with Amazon's Fire. The Nexus Tablet can also be the first device to show developers and OEM the huge potential Android tablets hold to sell content such as movies, music and games.
This time Google is supposedly partnering with Transformer maker ASUS for the 7-inch tablet. Digitimes reports that Google was in talks with other OEM players and HTC was the strongest contender but the Sense maker wanted more control over the development of the tablet and was also unwilling to develop a 'cheap' tablet fearing impact on its own branding in the market.
The Tablets are expected to be announced by May this year.
What would you like to see in the Google Tablet?

Connecticut agriculture officials are stepping up enforcement procedures to ensure that all fruits and vegetables bearing the Connecticut Grown label actually were grown in the state.
"It is essential that consumers who purchase agricultural products labeled 'Connecticut Grown' be confident those products were, in fact, grown and produced here in Connecticut," Steven Reviczky, Connecticut's commissioner of agriculture, said in a news release.
The state-overseen Connecticut Grown program, established in 1986, validates homegrown items with a green and blue Connecticut Grown logo.
Reviczky called it critical that all products marked "local" and/or "native" are what sellers claim them to be.
"Connecticut laws are very clear about the definition of these terms with respect to farm products," Revickzky said.
Indeed, for the 2013 growing season, state agriculture agents started to conduct unannounced inspections at farmers' markets and other sales venues. The state department of agriculture also looked into complaints alleging inappropriate marketing of local farm products.
Connecticut General Statutes Section 22-38 states that "Any person, firm, partnership or corporation advertising farm products as 'native,' 'native grown,' 'local,' 'locally grown', or 'Connecticut grown' shall be required to furnish written proof within 10 days of the sale of such products that such products were grown or produced in Connecticut or within a 10-mile radius of the point of sale, as applicable, if requested to do so by the commissioner of agriculture or said commissioner's designee."
A fine of up to $25 can be assessed with each violation, and the state departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection can tack on additional penalties, said Bruce Sherman, director of the Bureau of Regulation and Inspection with the department of agriculture.
Or, at least, they will be assessed moving forward, Sherman said.
"We started slowly, letting people know about the rules but didn't issue fines this year," he said.
Officials won't be so lenient in 2014, Sherman said.
"This year, it was more warnings because this was the first year we went out and did this stuff," he said.
The Bureau of Marketing administers the Connecticut Grown program, but enforcement of the rules fell to Sherman's department, Sherman said.
"The marketing department wasn't enforcing the rules, and we felt it was better that our bureau did it, so there wasn't a conflict with the people who are promoting," he said.

White Tea Targets Wrinkles, Sagging Skin
Posted: August 13, 2009
page 2 of 3
The researchers were blown away by exactly how well the white tea had performed. "We were testing very small amounts—far less than you would find in a drink," Professor Naughton, one of the country's leading specialists on inflammation, said. "The early indicators are that white tea reduces the risk of inflammation, which is characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis and some cancers, as well as wrinkles."
Eight of the other plants and herbs analyzed also helped protect against the breakdown of both elastin and collagen. After white tea, bladderwrack performed well, followed by extracts of cleavers, rose, green tea, angelica, anise and pomegranate.
Pauline Hili, PhD, technical director for Neal's Yard Remedies, said, "We are really excited by this research as it helps us to remain innovative and at the cutting edge of natural skin care. Celebrating the plants used in the Neal's Yard Remedies products and understanding their specific actions on the skin is what it is all about. The Kingston University research program helps us to create safe, highly effective and cutting-edge products so it's an ideal partnership for us."

Their staff was horrible and did not accommodate us very well. I was offered a $300 voucher for getting kicked off my flight, but then they turned around and offered a $500 voucher to someone else? Terrible customer service when I tried to filed a complaint. They do not care about their customers satisfaction!!!

Marquette Golf Club
1075 Grove Street
Marquette, MI 49855
The original nine holes were designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau in 1926, and the second nine were added by David Gill in 1969. The front nine sprawls out over gently rolling terrain and is notable for its imaginative green complexes and classic beauty. The back nine takes the player into more dramatic slopes offering views of Lake Superior and a challenging finish to a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf.
A championship 18-hole course, PGA golf pro, driving range, food and beverage service and much more. Lessons are available. Pro course measures 6,620 yards and is par 71. The men's course is 5,5887 yards is par 71 while the women's course measures 5,161 yards and is par 73.
1075 Grove Street
Marquette, MI 49855
The Greywalls course is a part of the Marquette Golf Club, which has been a traditional venue for golf in this part of the U.P. since its establishment in 1926. Greywalls joined the Heritage course and give the popular club 36 holes of fun and challenging golf.
Greywalls spans over 230 acres combining views of Lake Superior with natural rock outcroppings. One of the most enticing visuals occurs even before taking the driver out of the bag at the first tee- a breathtaking view of Lake Superior that includes Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore some 55 miles to the east. The rest of the round is downhill from there, because at 380 feet the tee is the second highest playable point above the lake. The first six holes drop down, highlighted by two dramatic holes, the 312-yard No. 5 and the 185-yard No. 6. A 60-foot wall of granite, which partly accounts for the course name, protrudes from the right side of the fifth green. The sixth features a ravine with three tee boxes more than 40 feet below the championship tee and the green. It is one of the most sensational par-3 holes in golf. The lake comes back into view on the seventh tee and then the ninth green.
The back nine arguably offers some stronger play. While lake views and more outcroppings come into play on the 10th, 16th, 17th, and 18th holes, the best stretch of pure golf holes is found on 12 thru 14. These holes feature sandy soil, rolling fairways and strategic bunkering and green placement. This is also the longest stretch of holes on the course.
Red Fox Run Golf Course
217 Fifth St
Gwinn, MI 49841
Red Fox Run has been designed to implement all aspects of the game. The holes carefully blend rolling fairways, rich woodlands, and scenic wildlife. It is a challenging but playable course, and offers a panoramic golf experience.

3432 County Road 478
Champion, MI 49814
Mining executives established Wawonowin in 1896. The name "Wawonowin" was chosen because of the howling winds which blew in the valley where the greens were located. Wawonowin is a Chippewa (Ojibwa) word that loosely translates as "Wind Through the Trees". The current golf course replaced the former 60 acre Ishpeming Nelson Mine site in 1967-68 due to caving ground from mining activities. Wawonowin is a full service country club featuring 18 holes of challenging and enjoyable golf. Wawonowin is renowned for some of the best-kept greens in the U.P. Wawonowin Country Club is owned and governed by its members. The front nine course and current clubhouse were designed and built by Wawonowin members. The back nine course was designed and built in the mid-1970's. The last major course renovation was done in 1995 by the architectural firm Childs & Associates. Today, the 210 acre golf course is a paradise to approximately 400 members, and is home to an abundant variety of wildwood, wildlife, and green space.

I'm in the process of designing an insulated box which I can keep in my garage over the winter and in which I can place my tender bulbs, tubers,... - begonia, canna lily, gladiola,... I'm planning on placing a heating cable in the bottom of the box and installing some type of thermostat that will keep the temperature between 5 and 10 Celsius. Would any of you have any experience with this type of unit such that you could offer some advice on the type of thermostat to use. It has to be cheap and durable, ideally some type of bi-metal device. If you are aware of what might work best would you also know where I can purchase one? |

What about going to Canadian Tire and picking up some heat tape...it also could be called heat trace? It is a long warming cord that is actually wrapped around water pipes under mobile homes to keep them from freezing in the wintertime. It looks like a funny electrical cord that has a thermostat on it and actually is fairly inexpensive. When wrapped around the waterpipes it keeps the pipes just above the freezing point but still cool. We used one in the basement of our greenhouse/potting shed for years (to do just as you would like to do) until a cold storage area was built in our basement in the house. |
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like it will fit my requirements to a tee. |
Such an old post , let's add some value to it. If one could run his cold water service through this insulated building he /she could pull some heat from the cold water and help to heat the building. The water would only flow when required for use in the house. Another source of heat is the waste from refrigerators in the house. If you can put one of the freezers in the storage building you'll get some extra walking time in and you'll use the waste heat to heat the unit. Plus you might save on cooling for your frozen foods. Think. Think think. |
