Why does sound stop at times--can't be heard and yet....
From time to time (possibly when the PC has been on for a long time) I hear no sound--no Windows sounds, no player sounds (movie or music). And yet if I go to my Windows Volume mixer and test it, all works well; I can hear things. In such cases all i need to do is reboot and all is OK again. So I am not asking how to solve this problem per se, I am merely asking why is this so? How does it happen? And is there anything that one can do to solve this without rebooting?
For example now, I am in the process of doing a backup. it'll be hours before it finishes but meanwhile I can not play music, or watch videos, youtube or anything. Not for a pleasant experience as you might guess. Thank you |

Hard to tell. First thought, do you have the correct driver from the vendor? Reinstalling the driver may help.
If you have HDMI and an HDMI cable plugged in usually it will default to HDMI rather than the Speakers. Sound is on a shared Interrupt (IRQ) with a higher priority device and depending on the higher priority device it may be interfering. So many possibilities, that just based on what you've posted all we can do is guess or offer general suggestions. One question, what or how are you doing a back up that it "takes hours"? I use Macrium Reflect and can backup my "C" drive to either an internal hard drive or a USB connected hard drive in less than 30 minutes. |

Thanks fireberd. About the backup. I tried 4 in all including the Windows 7, Cobian and Easus and they all take hours. I have noticed that it is especially long if you compress it to a 7zip file. One reason why I would assume it takes long is because it's via a USB. The other reason is I am talking about large files 200Gig and the like--this involves many photos, word documents, copies of my purchased software etc.. What's the size of your transfers? If you're doing the same amount then maybe I'll give yours a try

Macrium free works good. My backups mostly are from SSD to either internal hard drive or USB connected hard drive. I can do 150GB in about 15 minutes to internal hard drive and about 20 minutes to USB connected hard drive.
I used to use Acronis True Image and it took much longer. Download Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - MajorGeeks |

In the current thread re "Overwintering Butterfly Bush in Zone 5" there is often the suggestion to mulch heavily. I interested in what this means to you, in terms of winter protection. Is it more than just piling on lots of leaves on the died back, more cold sensitive perennial? Or might you first take the step to contain these mulching leaves next to the plant by first encircling the perennial with some "chicken wire" and then piling on the leaves? I'd love to know the different things you do and use for late Autumn mulching. . |

Follow-Up Postings:
For some perennials ie: Endless Summer hydrangea, etc. I place shredded leaves around the base then surround the plant with chicken wire tall enough to enclose the branches. Then stuff it with shredded leaves. This somewhat helps protect buds on the old growth. Butterfly bush is cut low in the fall and completely covered with five or six inches of shredded leaves. I don't add a cage as here bb usually dies back close to the ground and emerges from the base in the spring. Haven't lost any bb in ten plus years including year old seedlings. Other zone pushers are also completely covered with shredded leaves. Most don't need a cage as die back to the ground. Zone 4 hardy perennials get shredded leaves added around the base or are left with whatever mulch remains from summer. When I first started gardening here I went to several workshops about preparing perennials for winter. We were told to completely cover most perennials with four or more inches of mulch after the ground is frozen. So I did for years until I learned that those telling us to cover were not covering their plants. "Too much work" covering in the fall and removing in the spring. Now I only cover them if they are recently transplanted or very special. For me removing the mulch in the spring was the difficult part. Remove too soon and the new growth is killed by frost. Don't remove soon enough and plant is smothered or stems are misshaped. Most thrive without any extra winter prep. This works for me because we usually have good snow cover from late fall to early spring which prevents frequent freeze thaw cycles. |

in my z5 MI .....back in the day.. i used to shred all the fallen leaves ... down to fingernail size ... and have giant piles i would tarp such once the piles cooled ... so they didnt freeze solid before i needed to use them .. but not too soon or they would decompose to much ... and i would bury tender stuff near ground freeze ... depth depending on how much i had.. and how many tender plants .... you want the plant to go 100% dormant.. and then mulch it ... things died if i mulched too soon ... as they did NOT go proper dormant ... i suspect this is VERY ZONE DEPENDENT .... the trick usually is.. get it dormant.. keep it dormant ... the mulch volcanoes took out winter sun [none of this thaw/refreeze stuff.. day after day in winter] .. the soil under stayed frozen until spring [unlike bare soil which might thaw in some mid winter warm spell] .. and finally.. it took away winter wind ... i was working with T roses ... i used to joke.. one spell out of dormancy in mid winter.. and the plant would laugh it off... second time.. it would get really pissed off and show severe damage.. third time.. i'll show you .. and die ... hence learning the idea.. get it dormant and keep it dormant ... whatever it took ... all that said.... BBush.. lived for 2 or 3 temperate winters in my MI ... and then gave up the ghost.. one bad one.. regardless of what i did ... ken |
Thanks for your detailed post mnwsga. I think I will do what you have described for your hydrangea hoping it will better protect the old wood buds. For the chicken wire do you just secure the ends with some wire or twist ties and there is no need to anchor it with any vertical pegs/stakes? (Have you found doing such protection for your mop head hydrangea does result in more blooms the next season?) Butterfly bush is cut low in the fall and completely covered with five or six inches of shredded leaves. For sure it is hard to argue with your success but I usually read that it is 'safer' to cut back the BB in the spring. And leaving branches as is might better keep the leaves in place through the whole winter. |
Like MNSWgal, I usually have good snow cover. I mulch most of my gardens year round, but don't add mulch for the winter. If I am planting in the fall, I make sure there's a good layer of mulch in the area, but otherwise the mulch is the same all year round to even out temperature and moisture. I have a massive vole population moving in from adjacent farm fields, and doing the chicken wire cage filled with mulch would make the entire plant safe for their dining pleasure. I use cages below and slightly above ground for protection from voles, but not for mulch. |
Ken wrote: you want the plant to go 100% dormant.. and then mulch it. So there's the rub. Can we not assume that once the herbaceous plant dies back completely implies dormancy? If not then how else? |

Our winters are unpredictable, we go through some with no snow to speak of, others we've had a couple of feet of the stuff, january can be really wet. The end of january beginning of february is when we usually get the hard freeze, it can last 2 or 3 weeks. I don't mulch much in the fall but do in the spring to keep the weeds down. Hydrangeas I leave the spent flowers on until march the following year, this is all the protection they need. Annette |
Our plan is similar to NHBabs. I count on snow for insulation. The only place I use zone-sensitive plants is near the house so when I shovel the sidewalk I keep snow piled up on those plants. But I don't do anything with mulch. Often we get permanent snow before it cools down all the way and before the ground freezes hard. Voles under the snowpack are a definite issue. For that I use a large plastic yogurt container, split up the side, as a sleeve around tree trunks and it extends down into the dirt/mulch some. I do enjoy watching the cats dance and pounce on top of the snow when they can hear the voles underneath. Pretty funny. |
I just pile on shredded leaves a bit thicker, that's all (but not covering the crowns). The only thing I winter protect anymore is a laceleaf Japanese maple - I put up a burlap screen at the least, at the most I stuff the inside of the burlap screen loosely with straw. Last winter I forgot to do it and be darned the thing got through that brutal winter with flying colors, which leads me to believe it is not getting wind-whipped in winter like I thought it might, and it doesn't need protection. I do put a bale of straw and barricade with some bags of shredded leaves over/around my very large potted Rodgersia to keep the snow and ice off of it, not because it can't handle the cold. I forgot to do this chore too last winter and lost my beloved Rodger because of the ice freeze/thaw, it had a layer of ice on it which had to be at least 4-6" thick and kept freezing/thawing. Poor thing. Must not forget to do that this year for Rodger Jr. I'd drag the pot into the garage if I could, but it's a half wine barrel (a true one, very thick, very heavy, not one of the ones you get a box store) - DH and I can barely manage to push it against the house let alone up the steps and into the garage. I don't see it during the winter, though so it doesn't bug me. I can deal with a bit of chicken wire and extra mulch, but I think burlap/shrub jackets/etc are so ugly and ruin the winter landscape. Winter can be quite beautiful and serene, especially if plants with winter interest are chosen. I make the exception for the one tree, but I draw the line there. I want to enjoy nature in all it's beauty year round, not just during the growing season. What I'm trying to say is "right plant, right place" and shouldn't need to fuss with all this winter protection. |
Rouge, I use stakes to secure the cage. Don't know if caging results in more blooms but it does give a head start on growth. Started cutting back in the fall before reading the comments on waiting until spring to cut back butterfly bush. Have tried both and prefer fall cutting. Once settled the shredded leaf mulch stays in place. The idea is to keep the ground frozen which is why mulch is added afterwards. I keep shredded leaves in bags to keep them from getting wet and freezing. One year decided to just place a bag of leaves over the plants thinking snow cover would hide them all winter. Joke was on me as we had little snow that winter and it looked awful. If a large snow storm is expected before the ground is completely frozen I quickly add the mulch anyway. None of this putting mulch on top of the snow for me. Too ugly. |
I count on snow for insulation. In my locale it is very unpredictable re snow cover. Voles under the snowpack are a definite issue. I think this could be minimized it one doesn't mulch until the ground is quite frozen and so moles and voles would more likely have found other homes? |
Very good info here. Does anyone have special techniques for mulching roses? In terms of mulching materials, the consensus seems to be for shredded leaves or straw. Is this mainly due to the convenience/availability of these things, or is there some other advantage to using them? I have 3 new David austin rose bushes (Mayflower - own root with the bud union buried) to help survive their first winter, and was planning to bury the bases and canes in 3 to 4 inches of shredded wood. I'd thought about caging them as well, and filling up the cages with leaves to protect the canes, but since they're very close and visible from a pedestrian sidewalk I wasn't going to bother with that. However, I will if it's truly necessary. |

We use shredded pine bark mulch on the beds and under the outlying plants anyway, so I don't add more mulch of any kind. I would think the chicken wire circles, with some bamboo or plastic stakes threaded through them and filled with shredded leaves would work really well for plants you were afraid might not make it through the winter - zone pushing ones especially. I had heard on radio gardening shows that you should mulch for winter protection only after the plant has gone dormant - as Ken mentioned above. I am still of the opinion that butterfly bushes should be severely cut back in the spring only. I prune back the height on Dubonnet only because it is always so tall and leggy that I'm afraid heavy winds or severe ice storms might up root it. So far, it hasn't minded the light pruning and has returned every spring. Linda |

STOCKBRIDGE A Randolph man was hospitalized with a shoulder injury over the weekend after the car he was driving drifted off a rain-slicked stretch of Route 107, plowed through a guardrail, and became airborne, before slamming roof-first into a tree.
State police said the bizarre accident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday when 18-year-old Noah Markwood fell asleep at the wheel of his eastbound car while driving home. The car, a 2002 Subaru Impreza, went off the highway, breaking through a section of guardrail and launching into the air, police said.
While airborne, police said the car started to overturn and rotate, before the roof of the vehicle was crushed when it came into contact with a tree.
Markwood was transported by a crew from White River Valley Ambulance to Gifford Medical Center, where police said he was treated for a shoulder injury. The car was destroyed, they said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department says eight children from the Charlotte Central...

Watch: 'Sympathy for a Dreamer' Is a Sweet, Surprising Father/Son Trip to the Park
Features By Scott Beggs on May 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Grant Jordan's short film takes a common dramatic twist and twists it to great effect. Sympathy for a Dreamer tells the story of a man beleaguered by the loss of his wife who takes trips to the park with his son for a special, therapeutic reason. While the acting is slightly stiff from the adults, the kid here is an adorable ball of dynamite, and the overall sense of the film is a calm sort of sadness that promises hope but doesn't feel too glad about it. Strong camera work buoys it, and the story shines through delicate writing. What will it cost? Only 8 minutes. Skip Work. You've Got Time For More Short Films
Ross (Shane Taylor) wakes up early one day to see his parents off on their road trip through Europe. Alistair (Benjamin Whitrow) and Valerie (Eileen Nicholas) are heading to Germany for some unknown reason, but when the trip faces cancellation, Ross agrees to chauffeur his parents through Europe.

CUTTACK: The state government's recent decision to merge the pediatric ward of SCB Medical College and Hospital with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Post graduate Institute of Pediatrics, popularly known as Sishu Bhawan, has drawn flak from various sections of society. Social organizations, political parties and intellectuals of the city have strongly opposed the decision.
Among others, the advocate committee formed by the Orissa high court to monitor health services across the state has also expressed displeasure over the decision. The committee on Thursday reviewed the facilities at the pediatric ward of SCB hospital and alleged that critical patients undergoing treatment at the SCB cannot be treated at the Sishu Bhawan.
"Sishu bhawan is not at all equipped to handle critical patients. The hospital lacks multi-specialty departments such as cardiology, neurosurgery, endocrinology and nephrology. Moreover, it is suffering from a number of problems such as shortage of space, inadequate doctors, insufficient number of anesthesiologists and lack of equipment like CT scan and MRI machines. In the absence of these facilities, how can the authorities ensure proper treatment to the children,?" alleged Pravat Das, member of the advocate committee.
He said the Sishu Bhawan provides treatment in two departments, medicine and surgery. owing to lack of super specialty facilities, most of the time critical cases are referred to SCB. If the pediatric wing of SCB is closed down, patients will suffer badly.
The state government had decided to shift the existing 60 beds under the pediatric wing of the SCB hospital to the 280-bedd Sishu Bhawan with effect from August 1. After the merger, the bed strength at Sishu Bhawan will be 340.
"Sishu Bhawan, at its present state, is not capable of accommodating patients who will come from SCB hospital. Without upgrading the infrastructure, it will be highly unscientific and erroneous on the part of the government to take such a decision," said Khageswar Sethi, a SUCI leader. The party on Thursday staged a demonstration outside the SCB superintendent's office. The Congress has also demanded an immediate roll back of the decision.
But the director of medical education and training (DMET) has refuted all the allegations. "We have planned to develop Sishu Bhawan into state of the art tertiary pediatric care centre. The decision of merger would not only pave way for its development, but will also solve the problem of shortage of doctors and nurses," said P K Das, DMET.

Summary: Mathematical reform is the driving force behind the organization and development of this new precalculus text. The use of technology, primarily graphing utilities, is assumed throughout the text. The development of each topic proceeds from the concrete to the abstract and takes full advantage of technology, wherever appropriate. The first major objective of this book is to encourage students to investigate mathematical ideas and processes graphically and numerically, ...show more as well as algebraically. Proceeding in this way, students gain a broader, deeper, and more useful understanding of a concept or process. Even though concept development and technology are emphasized, manipulative skills are not ignored, and plenty of opportunities to practice basic skills are present. A brief look at the table of contents will reveal the importance of the function concept as a unifying theme. The second major objective of this book is the development of a library of elementary functions, including their important properties and uses. Having this library of elementary functions as a basic working tool in their mathematical tool boxes, students will be able to move into calculus with greater confidence and understanding. In addition, a concise review of basic algebraic concepts is included in Appendix A for easy reference, or systematic review. The third major objective of this book is to give the student substantial experience in solving and modeling real world problems. Enough applications are included to convince even the most skeptical student that mathematics is really useful. Most of the applications are simplified versions of actual real-world problems taken from professional journals and professional books. No specialized experience is required to solve any of the applications. ...show less

NXT Announces Strong Q1 2012 Financial Results
NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT" or the "Company") (TSX-V:SFD; OTCBB:NSFDF), is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. All selected and referenced financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on NXT's website at www.nxtenergy.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
For the Q1 three month period ended March 31, 2012, NXT reported net earnings of $337,928 ($0.01 per share) on revenues of $2,815,320. In the comparable Q1 2011 period, the Company had no revenues and a net loss of $792,717 ($0.02 per share).
"I am delighted to report record revenues in Q1-2012 and our return to profitability" said George Liszicasz, NXT's President & CEO. "With the additional contracts that are being completed in Q2, we are also on track to post record revenues for the first half of 2012".
NXT's Q1 results reflect the completion of the SFD® survey on four exploration blocks in Colombia. Two additional survey contracts which were conducted in Argentina and Guatemala are planned to be completed in Q2, following which additional progress billings of US $1.1 million will be issued and US $2.3 million of survey revenue will be recognized.
The contract backlog of US $2.66 million relates to a 2011 contract for a survey which continues to be planned for South Asia. Commencement of this contract is pending final permit approvals, and the start date has not been set. In addition, pursuant to a 2011 Letter Of Intent, an existing repeat client has proposed conducting an additional US $1.0 million survey on a Colombia exploration block.

How much draft ?

Ok, so "Gonesailing" wants to know some rudimentary information. Instead of verbal abuse, lets look at the question. As a follow-up, what areas do you want to visit? If you have some specific areas in mind, get ahold of nav. charts for the areas. The mean low water levels will dictate where you want to be with regard to draft.
In discussing depth, there are plenty of boats from 30 - 40 feet that (with full keel) would be great offshore boats with 5' draft. 4' is the draft of my Cal 25. I sail the Chesapeake Bay. I've only gone aground once,and that was my own fault for not heeding the depth alarm.
There are plenty of offshore sailors who are perfectly happy with a draft of up to 6 feet.
I think the best bet is to define your scope (where do you want to go) and decide on a draft based on the number of anchorages you can visit. The overall length of the boat can come later.
Regarding seaworthiness, there are several other factors besides keel depth that lead to overall seakindliness/seaworthiness. Look at the boats that have survived it all, like the Westsail 32, Cal 40, Outbound 40 - 44, etc. Things to consider are small self bailing cockpit, small, heavy port/deadlights, bridge deck and small main hatch, sealable dorade vents, sound rudder (attached to a skeg or to the keel). Hull shape that is unstable when the boat is turned "turtle" so she'll right herself, lazarettes that are structurally sealed off from the rest of the boat, heavy through hull fittings with ball valves, heavy hull construction ie: solid glass cloth instead of chop strand matting or "cored" glass hulls. Also, a keel stepped mast, double lower shrouds, multiple bulkheads to prevent oilcanning or twisting of the hull in heavy seas, etc. Of course, these are just my opinions. Every boat has it's own merits. Heck, in 1968 there was a kid (Robin Graham) who sailed a lapworth 24 around the world. Another cruising couple sailed a Cal 25 (like mine) around the world and had 2 or 3 kids along the way. Of course, I'm not recommending this, just commenting that seaworthiness is as much attributed to good planning and heeding weather forecasts/sea states as it is to a solid boat.
There are several good books on picking an offshore boat. One of which (If I can remember the name) is something like "The Seaworthy Offshore Sailboat."
Just remember, there is no such thing as a dumb question. Even the most elementary question leads to others. Isn't this how we build knowledge?
Finally, there are offshore sailing schools, where you learn the basics of navigation, routine maintenance, and successful passagemaking. I believe Annapolis Sailing School has a location in the BVI.
Hope this helps.

Matchups with Kentucky Feb. 7, March 7 highlight Gators' SEC hoops schedule
The Gators' quest for their third straight SEC regular-season title likely hinges on a pair of games against Kentucky - at 9 p.m. Feb. 7 at home on ESPN and at 2 p.m. March 7 on CBS in Lexington.
The Gators and Wildcats have set the standard and the SEC, and appear poised to do so once again in 2014-15.
The Wildcats return sophomore guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison, sophomore center Dakari Johnson and added the nation's No. 2 recruiting class.
The Gators return just one starter, shooting guard Michael Frazier II, from a senior-laden team led by Scottie Wilbekin and Patric Young. UF, though, should be a more athletic squad with 6-foot-8 Dorian Finney-Smith, the SEC's top sixth man last season, and 2013 McDonald's All-Americans Chris Waker, a 6-foot-10 forward, and Kasey Hill, one of the nation's quickest point guards.
But the Gators will enter this season with bragging rights.
UF beat the Wildcats three times last season for the first time, including a riveting 61-60 win in the SEC tournament title game.
Kentucky would gain confidence from its close loss to the Gators, who went 18-0 in SEC play, and ride the momentum all the way to the national title game. There, UConn beat the Wildcats two days after the Huskies ended the Gators' 30-game winning streak during the national semifinals.
Both UF and UK are sure to be preseason top-10 teams, with the Wildcats possibly No. 1.
But the Gators do have 16 other games on their conference schedule, even if few of them generate close to the interest of the two matchups with Kentucky.
Among the highlights are a Jan. 17 visit to Georgia, the team's only meeting this season, a Jan. 15 visit from Bruce Pearl and Auburn, two games with LSU (Jan. 20 at home, Feb. 21 in Baton Rouge), a Jan. 31 visit from Arkansas, a Feb. 24 visit to Missouri and a Feb. 28 visit from Tennessee, the season's only matchup with the Vols.
Here is the rest of the schedule, including non-conference games previously announced:
2014-15 schedule
Nov. 6 -- Barry (exhibition)
Nov. 14 -- William & Mary TBA SEC
Nov. 17 -- Miami 7 p.m., ESPNU
Nov. 21 -- Louisiana-Monroe
Nov. 26 -- Georgetown 9:30 p.m. ASX TV
Nov. 27 -- UAB/Wisconsin

Wigan v QPR
McCarthy 19′, 74′
Nelsen 26′ Cisse 71′
Queens Park Rangers set a new record for the longest winless start to a Premier League season after James McCarthy rescued Wigan.
McCarthy fired the Latics ahead following a disputed corner, the Republic of Ireland international's shot deflecting off Jamie Mackie.
Ryan Nelsen headed the Hoops level before Djibril Cisse put Harry Redknapp within sight of his first QPR win.
But poor defending allowed McCarthy to equalise after Jean Beausejour's pass.
Redknapp has drawn all three games since taking charge of the Premier League's bottom club, who are still without a win after 16 games.
Swindon Town previously held the longest winless start and went on to be relegated in 1993-94.
A hard-earned point at Wigan is no mean feat particularly as West Ham United and Reading have both suffered defeat at the DW Stadium this season.
But Redknapp will have targeted three points from this game and knows time is against him, QPR are now eight points from safety with 22 games remaining.
Wigan could not have wished for a better start, McCarthy opening the scoring in the 19th minute moments after David Jones's clever free-kick from 20 yards had been tipped over by Robert Green.
"Mixed emotions for Queens Park Rangers, but Harry Redknapp knows his side must start winning soon if they are to climb away from trouble. Djibril Cisse's goal put them within sight of a first win this season only for poor defending to allow Wigan back in."
Republic of Ireland international McCarthy had not found the net since February 2011.
But the midfielder's beautifully struck first-time shot from just inside the area, after QPR had failed to deal with a disputed corner by Beausejour, gave Green no chance after taking a slight deflection off Mackie.
The visitors argued that the corner should not have been awarded, claiming that the ball came off a Latics player.
But their mood quickly changed when another corner led to Nelsen rewarding the hundreds of fans who made the long trek from London with a 26th-minute equaliser.
Roberto Martinez was without four defenders due to injury and suspension, but the Wigan manager will have been upset that Nelsen was allowed to head the ball beyond Ali Al Habsi after shrugging off his marker Adrian Lopez.
Quality was at a premium in a match played out in miserable conditions, Franco Di Santo's miss after Clint Hill's first-half mistake typical in what was an error-strewn contest.
Green produced fine saves to deny the busy McCarthy, Jones and Jordi Gomez before the latter struck the underside of the bar during a sustained spell of second-half Wigan pressure.
But the visitors took the lead against the run of play when substitute Cisse fired his side ahead 13 minutes after coming on.
The former Liverpool player produced a fine 71st minute finish after Lopez's error allowed Shaun Wright-Phillips to craft an opening for Cisse.
But QPR's lead lasted less than three minutes, McCarthy firing through a sea of legs following Beausejour's delivery to deny Redknapp victory and QPR a first away win since November 2011.

9th December 2012 - 16:19You think following QPR is bad?
Try following Aberdeen FC....now, they are mince....... playing in a really carp league. I'm surprised they haven't scared away every football fan in the land. Took my son to watch then six times, after which he declined the offer to go watch them again, having not seen them win OR SCORE A SINGLE GOAL in that time.
Scary stuff.
QPR... you're alright....no worries. -

9th December 2012 - 15:52Massive under-performance on the part of QPR players, they should be ashamed. Proven PL players like Bosingwa, Park, Taraabt, Zamora etc shouldn't be setting records as one of the worst teams in PL history. If you look at Derby a few years back, or Swindon in the early 90's etc, you could understand their results because the teams were so poor, but QPR's players aren't. The fans must be furious.

Indiana University Launches Online Master's Degree From the Number Two Ranked School of Public Affairs
Bloomington, Indiana --
Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) launches online master's degree in public affairs through SPEA Connect. With recent approval from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE), SPEA becomes the highest ranked MPA program, #2 according to U.S. News and World Report, to make its degree completely available in an online format. The online MPA allows distance learning students and working professionals access to a top-ranked public affairs program that will allow them to continue their careers while learning new skills and furthering their public affairs expertise.
SPEA Connect, a joint initiative between IU-Bloomington and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, leverages SPEA's top-ranked curriculum and faculty to deliver an online MPA that meets the professional development and career needs of the 21st century workforce without sacrificing the rigor of SPEA's curriculum.
"Online education enables SPEA to effectively reach working professionals and allows us to help fill a critical need in their professional development and careers," said SPEA Dean John D. Graham. "Our MPA program produces graduates with strong problem-solving and analytical skills and is additionally coupled with a sound interdisciplinary approach. Our online MPA students will meet the same standards for quality and academic rigor as their on-campus peers."
SPEA's online MPA is an ideal solution for students and professionals who are unable to access academic training and professional development in a traditional setting. In today's challenging economic environment, many professionals are simply unable or unwilling to commit to a full-time graduate degree program that could force them to uproot families and put their careers on hold. SPEA Connect allows distance learners around the world to earn a prestigious degree without having to move to Indiana.
"We believe our online MPA is an ideal opportunity for mid-career professionals, whether they are located in Washington DC or Kinshasa, Congo to further their knowledge and career prospects without having to leave their families and jobs," said Distinguished Professor James Perry. Professor Perry is the director of online education at SPEA and has worked closely with his faculty colleagues to design and deliver online curriculum that will meet the diverse needs of online students and working professionals.
Not only will the SPEA Connect online MPA provide access to a top-ranked public affairs program, the degree will offer great value when compared to its residential and online peers. "As a top-ranked public affairs program, SPEA is highly sensitive to the potential debt-burden that graduate education can bring and SPEA Connect's tuition levels have been set to reflect the public nature of our school," said SPEA Executive Associate Dean David Reingold.
In addition to the online MPA degree program, SPEA Connect also allows students the opportunity to pursue online graduate certificates in Public and Nonprofit Management. SPEA Connect also plans to begin offering an online graduate certificate in Public Budgeting and Financial Management in the near future.

UK anti wind turbine campaigners Jane and Julian Davies are being taken to court for unpaid council tax it has emerged this week.
The Spalding Guardian reported today that South Holland District Council has won liability orders to recover £110,000 outstanding in unpaid business rates and council tax.
Jane and Julian Davis travel the UK and abroad to speak out against wind farms and advise people who want to object to local wind farm proposals.
The Davis's reportedly owe over £1000 to their local council
Read: Anti Wind Turbine Campaigners Fail to Pay Council TaxIf you are baffled by people referring to terms such as 'vibro-acoustic disease', 'wind turbine syndrome' or just generally worried about wind turbine noise, a report has been published confirming that many wind turbine claims are ill founded.
The review 'Wind Turbine Sound & Health Effects' carried out last year includes an assessment of so called research carried out by anti-wind farm campaigners (including Nina Pierpont).
Read: Wind Turbine Report Confirms No Health EffectsPrinces Soft Drinks proposal for a wind turbine at its factory in Bradford was rejected last week due to impact on inhabitants of neighbouring properties.
Planning Inspector Elizabeth Ord said that wind turbine noise levels experienced by nearby residents, both at night and during the day would be lower than the limits recommended in nationally recognised guidance (ETSU R 97 "The Rating and Assessment of Noise from Wind Turbines" ). Despite this she believed that the wind turbine could still lead to sleep disturbance.
Read: Factory Wind Turbine Turned DownWestmills wind farm is officially popular with its local community according to a recent report by the BBC. Westmills is the first 100% community owned wind energy project in the south of England and provides for the needs of around 2500 homes.
The five turbine wind farm is located within half a mile of the village of Westmills in South Oxfordshire, England. The turbines started generating electricity in February of last year after a long planning haul patiently negotiated by landowner Adam Twine. More than 200 local people bought into the wind farm co-operative and now receive a financial return on their investment.
Read: Community supports Westmills Wind FarmCanadian wind farm neighbour Mulikow tries to describe the noise from his next door wind farm in the video below. As with all attempts to replicate 'noise experiences' this video struggles to represent accurately wind turbine noise due to the noise of the natural wind in the microphone and the fact that we – the listeners are located out of context. However Mulikaw gives what seems to be an un-emotive, and descriptive account of what it is like to live next to an operational wind farm. Don't believe him though – go visit one for yourself.
Read: Wind Farm NeighboursAmplitude Modulation of aerodynamic noise is a term used to describe a noise phenomenon experienced at a few unusual wind energy projects in the UK. The term is often used to cause concern amongst residents close to a proposed wind farm in addition to terms such as low frequency noise and infrasound. It is sometimes described as a "thump" as the turbine blade passes the tower.
