U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION Air Traffic Organization Policy
a. Do not use ATTS data when the system, or that portion of the systems, is released to Technical Operations technicians.
b. Verify the operational status of all ATTS components daily prior to operational use.
c. Advise effected facilities when ATTS equipment will not be operational at normal startup time, when it fails, is shut down, resumes operation, or when interfacility mode is lost/regained.
Facility directives must prescribe the use of the Scratch Pad and the specific responsibility for entering the current ATIS alpha character, the current General System Information (GSI), and the System Altimeter Setting. When an ATTS facility serves more than one controlled airport, an average of the altimeter settings for those airports may be specified as the System Altimeter Setting. A remote altimeter setting may be used in accordance with para 2-10-4, Comparison Checks, in the event that all local altimeter indicators fail. Do not use this procedure whenever conditions indicate the probability of a steep pressure gradient between two locations.
NOTE- The ARTS II system does not provide a GSI area; however, it does provide the capability to enter and display an assigned altitude.
a. When a malfunction causes repeated discrepancies of 300 feet or more between the automatic altitude readouts and pilot reported altitudes, request authorized personnel to inhibit the automatic altitude report (Mode C) display until the malfunction has been corrected.
b. If available, operate the field inhibit/select switches in the select position for the leader line, ACID, altitude, and handoff fields. The control position symbol and other full data block fields must be selected/inhibited in accordance with facility directives.
c. Display Mode C on untracked (unassociated) targets within each controller's area of responsibility by setting the altitude filters to encompass all altitudes within the controller's jurisdiction. Set the upper limits no lower than 1,000 feet above the highest altitude for which the controller is responsible. In those stratified positions, set the upper and lower limit to encompass at least 1,000 feet above and below the altitudes for which the controller is responsible. When the position's area of responsibility includes down to an airport field elevation, the facility will normally set the lower altitude filter limit to encompass the field elevation, so that provisions of FAAO JO 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, para 2-1-6, Safety Alert, and subpara 5-2-17a2, Validation of Mode C Readout, may be applied. Air traffic managers may authorize the temporary suspension of this requirement when target clutter is excessive.
REFERENCE- FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 5-2-23, Altitude Filters.
a. Where ATTS data from a system common to the TRACON and the tower is presented on a CTRD, and if operational benefits will accrue by using the MODIFY or QUICK LOOK functions, a facility directive or a LOA must be prepared specifying:
1. Procedures for data transfer between the TRACON and the tower cab.
2. Communications changeover points.
3. Transfer of control points.
4. Hours or conditions under which facility policy prohibits use of these functions.
5. The responsibility of the local control position to determine whether use of MODIFY or QUICK LOOK functions is satisfactory or some other mode of data transfer is to be used; e.g., voice call or computer handoff.
b. Factors to be considered by the controller in determining use of the MODIFY or QUICK LOOK functions and by the facilities for prohibiting their use include, but are not limited to, light on the face of the CTRD, traffic volume, other duties requiring the controller's attention, and the number of controllers available in the tower.
The air traffic manager of automated facilities must:
a. Approve all requests for automation changes sent to the respective Operational Support Facility via the National Automation Request form, FAA Form 6000-14.
b. Review each SITE PROGRAM BULLETIN (TERMINAL) issued by the Terminal Automation Support for local program functionality and changes to the data base to determine any operational/procedural impact. When necessary:
1. Issue a facility directive describing the functional change/s and any resulting procedural change/s.
2. Coordinate any functional, procedural, and airspace change/s with the ARTCC providing automation interface.
c. Ensure that operational suitability acceptance for software modifications is recorded on FAA Form 7230-4.
EXAMPLE- ARTS IIIA: "A3.06, National Patch Level P operational suitability testing completed, acceptable." COMMON ARTS: "A605, REV 20 operational suitability testing completed, acceptable." "A2.09, REV 20 operational suitability testing completed, acceptable." MICRO EARTS: "M4.08R, operational suitability testing completed, acceptable."
a. Facility air traffic managers must:
1. Establish automatic acquisition areas for arrivals and overflights at ranges permitting auto-acquisition of targets prior to the ARTCC/ATTS-to-ATTS automatic handoff area when the center is in the radar data processing (RDP) mode.
2. Coordinate with the adjacent automated facilities to ensure that computer handoffs will be initiated only after the aircraft is within their facility's automatic acquisition area. Where this is not feasible due to airspace assignment, facility directives must require use of an appropriate procedure specified in FAAO JO 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, to confirm the identity of all aircraft handed off prior to ATTS auto-acquisition.
3. Establish Automatic Acquisition Areas for departing aircraft 1 mile or less from the runway end.
4. Establish Automatic Termination Areas for arriving aircraft 1 mile or less from the runway threshold or, at satellite airports, the minimum radar coverage range/altitude whichever is greater.
5. Prescribe in a facility directive the operating position responsibility for determining if automatic acquisition of a departure track has occurred.
NOTE- This is intended for operations where automatic acquisition responsibility could be confused, e.g., uncontrolled airports within a single sector, or between different radar sectors that serve the same airport.
b. Terminal Operations Service Area Directors may authorize a distance greater than specified in subparas a3 and 4 above, where the operational conditions dictate.
a. MSAW, CA and MCI values must be set in accordance with the standards specified in the Standards and Guidelines for CARTS Appendix D, Standards and Guidelines for ARTS IIIA, and Standards and Guidelines for MEARTS. Any instances of requests for values outside the standards must require a waiver from Vice President, Terminal Services.
b. When their continued use would adversely impact operational priorities, air traffic managers may temporarily inhibit the MSAW, the Approach Path Monitor portion of MSAW, and/or the CA and/or MCI functions. Except when equipment or site adaptation problems preclude these functions being used, a brief written report must be sent to the Terminal Operatons Service Area Office whenever they are inhibited. A copy of the report must be sent to Terminal Safety and Operations Support.
c. Facility air traffic managers are authorized to inhibit CA at specific operating positions if an operational advantage will occur.
d. Facility air traffic managers must ensure that:
1. MSAW and CA nuisance alarms are minimized by monitoring alarm frequency and location and forwarding suspected problem areas to the servicing Operational Support Facility along with any supporting documentation, via a National Automation Request (NAR) form.
2. A visual inspection and aural test of the MSAW speakers located in the operational quarters by supervisory personnel is included as part of the equipment check list required during each watch. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure the aural alarm is functioning and audible to the appropriate operational personnel.
3. The operational support facility has adapted the software functionality to ensure the aural alarms operate in the ATCT.
4. Aural alarms are received in the ATCT upon transfer of communications.
5. Controllers are aware of the towers geographic locations where aural alarms sound. (MSAW aural alarm areas.)
6. Tower aural alarm areas are identified.
Air traffic managers must ensure that:
a. The magnetic variation of radar video maps/geo maps, MSAW, DTMs/GTMs and radar site settings coincide and is verified annually.
b. Affected map or maps are recompiled when the official magnetic variation of record is changed/implemented.
NOTE- 1. The video map is the primary reference for maintaining radar antenna alignment.
2. The DTM is constructed to align with the radar antenna offset for magnetic north. Consequently, any change in antenna offset will result in a corresponding change in the relative positions of the terrain points and obstacles used to determine DTM bin altitude assignments. This will require generating and verifying a new DTM.
3. The GTM is constructed to align with true north offset by the site adaptable radar antenna magnetic variation. Consequently, any change in antenna offset will result in a corresponding change in the relative position of bin locations.
4. In both cases, DTM or GTM, any change in antenna offset will result in readaptation of the MSAW and CA databases; e.g., airport areas, inhibit volume areas, capture boxes, etc., to coincide with the changed declination.
5. Technical Operations Aviation System Standards has the responsibility to assign and maintain the Magnetic Variation of record for navigational facilities and airports.
REFERENCE- Para 11-2-9, MSAW DTM Cartographic Certification, Updates, and Recompilation. FAAO 8260.19, Flight Procedures and Airspace.
a. System Operations Airspace and Aeronautical Information, must be responsible for assuring that the National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) performs the certification of the terrain elevations and the obstacle elevations. Each new or recompiled MSAW DTM must be certified by the NACO through the AT/NACO Precise Geographic Position and Elevation Program (PREGPEP). Also, NACO must certify the periodic update of the MSAW obstacle elevation files.
b. The MSAW DTM must be recompiled by NACO if:
1. The ASR antenna on which the map is based is relocated more than 300 feet away from its original position and/or,
2. The magnetic variation of the site changes by two degrees or more.
NOTE- Requests for new or recompiled DTMs are routed to System Operations Airspace and Aeronautical Information.
Verification of the accuracy of new or modified digital maps must be accomplished through the use of "targets of opportunity" flying over displayed fixes, navigational aids, etc. Any observed discrepancies must be documented to indicate the observed direction and displacement. If any identified error cannot be corrected or if a facility is otherwise dissatisfied with the results from "targets of opportunity," a request may be made through the FIFO for a flight check.

Nothing Hasty About This Retreat
Oftentimes, queer youth are raised or find themselves in religious communities that are unwelcoming or even outright hostile to LGBTQ identities. The Spiritual Pride Project is an Austin-based group of volunteer counselors, activists, artists, pastors, youth ministers, social workers, et al, that's trying to remedy the situation by bringing together lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex or asexual teens and young adults, as well as high-school- and college-aged straight allies from all over.
This weekend, the SPP presents two retreat opportunities for folks to get a real feel for the great outdoors, as well as to come together and respectfully explore their personal and spiritual differences and similarities. The events also offer safe opportunities for young people who live outside of the (mostly) welcoming environment of Austin to come and explore a functioning, supportive LGBTQ community. The main event is a three-day, two-night camping retreat, but the group also offers a Spring Day Camp for those who can't get away for the entire weekend. As an "interfaith and ecumenical" organization, SPP provides a safe space for people of all faiths (presumably including questioning or none) to share and worship as they see fit. Whatever one's preferred flavor of spirituality, it's always healthy to break out from the mold and heighten one's awareness.
Camping itself can be an awkward, if not traumatic experience for queer teens, as gender and sexuality norms are often enforced with a level of intensity seldom seen elsewhere. Spiritual Pride Project offers a camping experience that's not only affirming, but can teach valuable lessons to LGBTQIA youth. To learn more, register (official deadline is tomorrow, but they encourage applying as a few slots may open up), donate, or volunteer, visit spiritualprideproject.org.

Leveling a smurf and I feel like bashing a head against my wall. Keep getting in games where I'm completely and utterly hard countered by the other team's line up. Counter picking should be a part of normal games, not only ranked games. One example is Ezreal/Pantheon/Kassadin/Akali against me as Ezreal. May as well have been bashing my head against a wall.
How are you being counter-picked in blind pick? Sounds like you're just unlucky.
You are just as likely as the other team to have a huge hard counter team advantage in blind pick. Normal Games are supposed to be games where you don't get super serious about winning and losing.
if you can't win on a smurf...
I use normal as practice games, as I'm sure lots of people do. The problem I see with your suggestion is that they would either make it exactly like ranked draft, or they would have to make another game mode. If they make normal games draft pick with bans, then you would never get to try out certain champs. If they make another game mode, that just delays much needed features like replay further.
You should be able to see the opposing team when picking. Evidently I wouldn't have played Ezreal against that team, because he's completely and absolutely countered. Destiny + Skyfall + Ghost and clicking Ezreal with gold card/Pantheon's stun is well within a level 10's skill level.

Ray Mahmood opens his home almost weekly for dinner parties with guest lists that can top 100. Photograph by Melissa Golden.
Outside the largest house in a wealthy Mount Vernon neighborhood, the cars have been collecting for some time. Along with the polished Mercedes and BMWs, there are beat-up older cars with pro-life bumper stickers.
The cars belong to influential Republicans and Tea Party leaders, and they're clustered near the home of George Allen, the Republican who served Virginia in the US House and Senate and as governor. The guests aren't here to visit Allen, though—they're heading next door to the mansion of Pakistani-born Democrats Ray and Shaista Mahmood, who open their home almost weekly for dinner parties with guest lists that can top 100.
One of the largest, Shaista Mahmood says with a hint of pride, was a crowd of hundreds who came to their new property in 1999. Before they'd even finished building the house, they hosted a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Vice President Al Gore arrived by helicopter, landing on the Mahmoods' eight-acre lawn. Then the reception began, with high-powered guests mingling on the unfinished concrete floors.
Ray Mahmood, born Rafat Mahmood in Karachi, is among the best-connected Pakistani-Americans in Washington. A real-estate developer, he and his wife, Shaista, know the Clintons—they have had lunch with Hillary at the State Department—and have hosted Vice President Joe Biden, Congressman Howard Berman, former Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf, and many others at their home.
The Mahmoods are also close to the political establishment in Pakistan—Ray's official title, ambassador-at-large for Pakistan to the US, was given to him by Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari, husband of the late Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, herself a great friend of the Mahmoods'.
The ambassador-at-large title is nice to have, but it doesn't come with any actual responsibilities. Ray Mahmood's influence stems more from his money, his connections, and the diplomatic skills he applies to his relationships in this country, of which he's been a citizen since 1980. He's a soft-spoken, well-dressed man with ample weight on his large frame and hair that he dyes black to cover the gray. When he speaks, he doesn't especially command attention; if anything, it's his determination not to draw notice that people remember about him.
A master of backroom diplomacy who knows how to bring the right people together, Mahmood has become known in Washington as a big player in South Asian foreign policy.
"This is a guy who has President Zardari on his speed dial," says Virginia congressman Jim Moran, a friend of the Mahmoods' for 36 years. "The Clintons respect his opinions, as do a lot of people. Without any actual position, he's risen to a higher level than I have in politics."
Mahmood doesn't have ambitions of the sort that many in Washington do—he doesn't plan to run for office or seek an appointment, here or in Pakistan. He's already living out his dream: helping to shape policy between the two countries that matter most to him. It's a role that has become increasingly important as the US relationship with Pakistan has devolved into a full-blown foreign-policy crisis.
Ray Mahmood often says he worked his way up from nothing. His business success began with a Sunoco gas station he bought in 1975 for $5,000 in Alexandria's Del Ray neighborhood. Back then, Del Ray didn't have the affluent small-town feel that it does today; it was a rundown place without a lot of prospects. The $5,000 he paid for the station represented two years of savings he'd made working—during the week at the Pakistani Embassy and on weekends at a convenience store—while taking night classes at the USDA Graduate School. No one thought the gas station was a good investment.
But putting $5,000 into a company—any company—and hiring employees was, at the time, the first step toward applying for a green card. As business picked up, Mahmood secured a green card for himself. After he married Shaista in Lahore, he was able to get one for her. He bought more gas stations, including the land on which they stood.
Mahmood believed that anything was possible in America.
Mahmood believed that anything was possible in America. When talking about his adopted country, he peppers his conversation with phrases such as "land of opportunity" and "the best country in the world."
He hasn't abandoned his native Pakistan—it's the main focus of his political work—so much as he has decided he's more American than Pakistani. He feels comfortable advocating for Pakistani-Americans and their causes but doesn't want to represent the Pakistani government. He says he'd never consider becoming the official Pakistani ambassador to the United States, in part because he believes that would require giving up his US citizenship, which is unthinkable. "We know someone who gave up his US citizenship for a posting and tried for years to get it back," Mahmood says. "He died before he could."
Mahmood likes to tell a story about an afternoon not long ago when he saw George Allen standing on his back deck with another man he couldn't quite place. They were staring out at Mahmood's house and beyond to the Potomac.
Allen invited Mahmood over and introduced his friend—Mitt Romney. Mahmood slows down the pace of the story when he gets to this part, as though to savor the telling: "I'd never met Romney before. So he said his hellos and then he asked, 'What do you do, Ray?' And I said, 'Look at me! Look at this place, this neighborhood, this view. What do I do? I live the American dream!' "
Being next-door neighbors has led to an unlikely friendship between Allen and Mahmood. Their wives have followed suit: Susan Allen and Shaista Mahmood often chat in their yards, where Susan spends a lot of time gardening, and the Mahmoods let the Allens use their tennis courts. Ray Mahmood hasn't ever voted Republican, but in his semi-official role as political conduit, he makes an effort to be nonpartisan, and George Allen has introduced him to many conservatives.
"We quite regularly attend charity fundraisers at their beautiful home," Susan Allen says. She pauses. "Political events, not so much. I always know that if there's a lot of cars in their driveway and we haven't been invited, it's because they're hosting a Democratic fundraiser."
In 2006, the Mahmoods had a fundraiser for George Allen's senatorial campaign. Susan Allen says they have on occasion been invited to come over on evenings when they were outnumbered by Democrats. But she adds that Ray "doesn't ever want to put anyone in an uncomfortable position. He is very diplomatic and would never make you feel as though you didn't fit in, even if you didn't."
The warmth between the Allens and the Mahmoods makes it seem all the stranger that what undid Allen's seemingly inevitable Senate reelection campaign several years ago—and ended his hopes of a 2008 presidential run—was his use of a pejorative word to refer to a South Asian. At a campaign rally in 2006, Allen called a young man of Indian ancestry, who was working for his opponent's campaign, a "macaca." It became one of those "YouTube moments," recycled endlessly on cable news.
Shaista Mahmood says she and Ray never believed Allen was biased against South Asians or any other group: "We never talked about it—we wouldn't want to bring up something so awkward, but we also don't see the need to pick up on the bad things."
Shaista says she and Ray are staying on the sidelines of Allen's 2012 Virginia Senate campaign, in which he's running against another of the Mahmoods' friends, former Virginia governor Tim Kaine.
Next: "It's hard now to believe how good things were between our countries just a few years back"

Planetary Harvester
Planetary Harvester ships can be seen in every system in the Immortal Empire. They have no standard design and can range from less than a mile across all the way up to the size of a small planet. Although, those of planetary size generally don't move and act as artificially created forge worlds. There are currently none of that size in Ancerious. Each Planetary Harvester is built around an atomic furnace and nanolaything facility. The rest of the ship is taken up by engines, plasma generators, and storage cells. This leaves little room for the actual crew.Notable Planetary Harvester: 'Dragon's Keep'
The 'Dragon's Keep' is by far the single largest artificial construct the Immortal Empire has ever made, easily eclipsing most solar systems in size. When the ships known as Planetary Harvesters were first made, Klester bought four and tasked one of the captains to make his ship as large as possible. The other three where told to help him in his assigned task. Currently, the 'Dragon's Keep' acts as the capital of Region 1 and Klester's personal fortress.
In case it isn't obvious, blatantly ripped off from Star Wars World Devastators
Also, this is a civilian vessel for harvesting resources, not a super weapon. THIS would be a super weapon.

Rapid E-Learning Simulation Training and User Response
Date: May 2011
Creator: Rackler, Angeline
Description: A new trend in e-learning development is to have subject matter experts use rapid development tools to create training simulations. This type of training is called rapid e-learning simulation training. Though companies are using rapid development tools to create training quickly and cost effectively, there is little empirical research to indicate whether training created in this manner meets the needs of learners. The purpose of this study was to compare user responses to rapid e-learning simulation training to user responses receiving instructor-led training. The target population for this study was employees of a medium size private company in North America. Employees were divided into two groups and either received instructor-led training (comparison group) or received rapid e-learning simulation training (experimental group). The instrument used to measure user response was an adaptation of the technology acceptance model. Three variables were measured: training satisfaction, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness. Though no statistical significance was found between the two groups for training satisfaction and perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use was found to be statistically significant. Overall results fail to demonstrate the superiority of rapid e-learning simulation training over instructor-led training; however, this study indicates that rapid e-learning simulation training may ...

Style and Satisfaction: An Examination of the Relationship Between Instructor Communicator Style and Instructor Job Satisfaction
Date: May 2011
Creator: Kirk, Don DeWayne
Description: The study sample was composed of 110 teaching faculty at Vernon College, a multi-campus northwest Texas community college in Wichita Falls, TX. Participants completed two surveys: the Socio-communicative Orientation Scale (SCO) and the Teacher Satisfaction Scale (SAT). Demographic information was collected as well for generalizability purposes. As measured by the SCO, communicator style is a multi-dimensional concept including aspects of assertiveness and responsiveness communication behaviors; the assertiveness and responsiveness dimensions acted as independent variables. Instructor job satisfaction acted as the independent variable. The strength of the independent variables was measured separately in ratio to job satisfaction. Regression analysis results demonstrated that the assertiveness dimension of instructor communicator style is not a statistically significant contributor to instructor satisfaction. However, the responsiveness dimension can explain 12% of the variance in instructor job satisfaction. Beta weight and structure coefficient analysis confirmed the initial regression results for both independent variables. Further, commonality analysis clarified that the two independent variables within the study are in fact orthogonal in nature, meaning that they do not overlap and are not correlated. Hence, the responsiveness dimension of instructor communicator style is directly related to relationship building in an educational context and may be considered in professional development activities. ...

Student characteristics and self-concept of secondary career and technical education students in a north central Texas region
Date: May 2010
Creator: Cox, Nancy Lynne
Description: Self-concept, discussed as a scholarly topic since the time of Socrates and Plato, is an important theoretical construct in education because self-concept is considered to be a desirable trait and a facilitator of positive future behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the characteristics of students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs and students' self-concept scores as measured by specific subscales from the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ). A total of 196 male and 89 female secondary students (Grades 9-12) enrolled in arts, audio/video technology and communications cluster courses in North Central Texas school districts participated in the study. Student characteristic variables of interest were age, gender, CTE program enrollment, and participation in CTE. The self-concept subscales analyzed were General, Academic, Verbal, Math, and Problem Solving. A canonical correlation analysis was conducted using the four student characteristic variables as predictors of the five self-concept variables to evaluate the multivariate shared relationship between the two variable sets. The full model across all functions explained about 23% of the variance between the variable sets. Function 1 explained 15% of the shared variance and Function 2 explained 7% of the variance that remained. This study detected a relationship ...

The behavioral changes that can be realized when leaders are exposed to the theories and metaphors found in quantum physics.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Godfrey, David Wayne
Description: Many are beginning to see the promise that the quantum world has offered those who manage and lead organizations (Wheatley, 1992; Zohar, 1997). The Newtonian world is one in which all "things" are reduced to their smallest parts, separated, divided, and analyzed with predictability, with complete control being the ultimate goal. The quantum world is one of infinite possibilities, infinite fields of influence, and infinite relationships. The hallmark characteristics found in a manager who has been schooled in the quantum sciences are flexibility, responsiveness, synchronicity, serendipity, creativity, innovation, participation, and motivation. In a quantum organization there is the constant awareness of the whole system, but there is also diversity (wave or particle), which allows for self-organization that is based on the environment and its requirements. In the quantum world many paths lead from A to Z, and depending on the path chosen, numerous realities wait to unfold. It was the goal of this research to explore the changing of leader behaviors through exposure to the models and theories found in quantum physics. From a quantum perspective this behavior change is possible; the only question is the readiness, willingness, and ability of the leaders to allow their behaviors to be surfaced ...

Influence of pre and post testing on return on investment calculations in training and development.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Hiraoka, Calvin H.
Description: When expenses become an issue, training is often one of the first budget items to be cut. There have been a number of evaluation studies about rates of return from training interventions. Most results are based on interviewing participants about the value of the intervention and its effect on their productivity. This often results in quadruple digit return on investment indications. Decision makers who control the budget often view these kinds of results with skepticism. This study proposes a methodology to evaluate training interventions without asking participants their opinions. The process involves measuring learning through a series of pre-tests and post-tests and determining if scores on pre-tests can be used as predictors of future return on investment results. The study evaluates a series of return on investment scores using analysis of variance to determine the relationship between pre-tests and final return on investment results for each participant. Data is also collected and evaluated to determine if the financial results of the organization during the period of the training intervention could be correlated to the results of the training intervention. The results of the study suggest that the proposed methodology can be used to predict future return on investment from training ...

Metro Environmental: The impact of training HVAC technicians using the SightPros-VirTechs system for remote, wireless, Internet video assistance.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Daily, Ellen Wilmoth Matthews
Description: This qualitative study explored the overall impact of training HVAC technicians using the SightPros-VirTechs system for remote, wireless, internet video assistance at a small HVAC company, Metro Environmental. John Thomason, the president/co-owner developed a website and a new SightPros communication tool that allows wireless, one-on-one, just-in-time, high-quality, video-monitored instructions between an expert at one site and a technician at another site. Metro Environmental successfully used the SightPros-VirTechs system to train a new apprentice remotely. The apprentice and expert changed their normal and routine physical activities because the expert worked remotely and the apprentice worked on-site. Within just a few months, the apprentice proved competent enough to go to customer accounts without more experienced technicians nearby. The technicians express excitement about the SightPros communication tool as a way to contact remote experts whenever needed. The customer and business contacts also give good reviews and suggest other benefits. The expert permanently captures the communications so the company can use the saved video for many applications, especially training. The dissertation provides a list of recommendations to trainers/educators for similar applications.

Identifying factors that predict student success in a community college online distance learning course.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Welsh, Johnelle Bryson
Description: The study's purpose was to identify demographics, educational background, finances, formal and informal education and experiences, reading habits, external environmental factors, psychological factors, and computer efficacy factors that predict a student's ability to successful complete an online (Web-based) distance learning community college course. Major student retention theories and student attrition and persistence research guided the study. Distance learners (N = 926) completed four surveys, which collected data for 26 predictor variables that included age, gender, marital status, ethnicity, support others, course load, first-time student, last semester attended, student type and location, financial stability, tuition payment, prior learning experiences, reading habits, family support, enrollment encouragement, study encouragement, time management, study environment, employment, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, locus of control, self-efficacy, computer confidence and skills, and number of prior online courses. Successful or unsuccessful course completion was the dependent variable. Statistical analyses included Cronbach's alpha, Pearson chi-square, two-sample t test, Pearson correlation, phi coefficient, and binary logistic regression. Variables in each factor were entered sequentially in a block using separate binary logistic regression models. Statistically significant variables were course load, financial stability, prior learning experiences, time management and study environment, extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and computer skills. Selected predictor variables (N = 20) ...

Improving learner reaction, learning score, and knowledge retention through the chunking process in corporate training.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Murphy, Maureen
Description: The purpose of the study was to investigate the application of the chunking process to the design and delivery of workforce training. Students in a 1-hour course (N = 110) were measured on learner reaction, learning score achievement, and knowledge retention to see whether or not chunking training in a 1-hour session into three 20-minute sessions to match adult attention span resulted in a statistically significant difference from training for 1-hour without chunking. The study utilized a repeated measures design, in which the same individuals in both the control group and experimental group took a reaction survey instrument, a posttest after the training, and again 30 days later. Independent samples t tests were used to compare the mean performance scores of the treatment group versus the control group for both sessions. Cohen's d was also computed to determine effect size. All hypotheses found a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group.

Adult learner satisfaction with web-based non-credit workforce training.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Morgan, Pamela Cope
Description: Web-based training has become a billion dollar industry in the United States. Electronically aided learning is viewed by many companies as a cost-effective way to deliver the up-to-date, up-gradable job-related training that the industry is demanding. This study sought to examine the relationship between learners' satisfaction with online training as it relates to learner readiness, online features, and course relevance. The population for this study was adults seeking non-credit workforce training, specifically library professionals who were involved in web-based training through the Lifelong Education @ Desktop (LE@D) program at the University of North Texas, Denton. Online methods of training are used most extensively in the area of mandatory or compliance training, in which 35 % of training is conducted mostly or completely online. The total potential library population using LE@D product to date is approximately 4,000 unique enrollments nationwide. Participants were selected from a complete list of unique LE@D users over a 90-day period. A survey instrument was sent via e-mail to 514 enrollees who had completed a recent LE@D online training course. In total, 254 participants responded to the survey. Bivariate analysis of the variables using the Pearson product-moment correlation was used to determine the occurrence and strength of ...

This is pretty cool. These guys are working on an unmanned tank. It's called Rip saw and it looks pretty promising.
They started with one that someone sat in a drove, then to a remote controlled one and they are now testing a version that is completely autonomous. Watch the videos, at the very least, it is a very cool concept.

Placement exams and assessments should be completed before you register in order to be placed in the appropriate course. If you have a disability and would like to request accommodations for a placement exam, please contact AccessAbility Services at 413-538-2634 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Chemistry Placement
General Chemistry I, (or its equivalent Chemistry 160 course) is usually the first course for an entering student who has taken fewer than two years of high school chemistry. It covers the foundations of reaction chemistry, thermochemistry, electronic structure, chemical bonding, and acid-base chemistry.
Before you can register for Chemistry 101, 160 or 201, however, you must first complete the Chemistry placement exam to assess your math readiness for Chemistry courses. To take the exam, after clicking on the link, click "Create Account" to make yourself an account using your Mount Holyoke email. Once you have an account, log in and look for Mount Holyoke College Courses. Under Courses at Mount Holyoke, you will see a link to General Chemistry, under which you will see a selection for Semester 1, under which you will see the link to the placement test. You will need the code fall14 to enter the exam.
Please complete the placement exam well before your registration time. Although results are usually available within a few days, it may take up to a week for your exam to be evaluated and the results posted to ISIS to give you a permission for the appropriate chemistry class. After you have taken the exam, Chemistry faculty will review your results and will email you to notify you of the appropriate Chemistry course for you. It may take an additional work day to record the permission in ISIS that will allow you to register for that course. (The permission will be visible on your ISIS "Approvals, Holds, and Registration Access Time") If your score on the Chemistry placement exam is high enough so that Chemistry 201 is likely the right course for you, the faculty will email you a supplementary Chemistry 201 examto complete and return, before you will receive permission to enroll in Chemistry 201.
Language Placement
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese
Students who have studied Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese prior to coming to Mount Holyoke are encouragd to consult with an appropriate professor of Asian Studies for advice on placement in correct course levels.
- Professor Arafah is the contact for Arabic.
- Professor Wang is the contact for Chinese.
- Professor Nemoto is the contact for Japanese.
- Professor Wang, Chair of the Asian Studies Program will refer you to a contact for Korean.
Students interested in studying French must take the placement exam, even if they have never before studied French.
German Studies
Students who wish to study German must complete a language proficiency questionnaire and placement exam. Students with no previous knowledge of German may enroll in German 101 or German 103.
Students interested in placement in the appropriate Greek language course should contact Paula Debnar, professor of classics.
Students hoping to begin their Italian studies at a level higher than 101-102 should contact Ombretta Frau, associate professor of Italian.
Students interested in enrolling in Latin 201 or above must take the Latin placement exam.
Russian and Eurasian Studies
Students who have previously studied Russian and are interested in continuing their study of the language should write to the chair of the Russian and Eurasian Studies department. Students with no prior work in Russian should register for RES 101.
Students who have previous knowledge of Spanish and wish to continue their study of Spanish while at Mount Holyoke must take a placement exam and complete a language proficiency questionnaire.
Mathematics Assessment
The mathematics assessment is for students planning to begin the study of calculus. The results will assist the department in placing you in your first calculus course. For questions about calculus placement, contact Margaret Robinson.
Music Exemption and Auditions
The Music 100 exemption exams for Fall 2014 are Wednesday, September 3, 4:00pm and Friday, September 5, 4:00pm in Pratt Hall (Room 109). Refer to the Music Department website for more information.

NZ brain drain in decline
PUBLISHED: 19 Jun 2012 00:06:52 | UPDATED: 19 Jun 2012 00:06:52PUBLISHED: 19 Jun 2012 PRINT EDITION: 19 Jun 2012Luke Malpass
When Australian growth figures were released a fortnight ago, many in New Zealand sighed and carried on: the cross-Tasman brain drain – now 1000 people a week – was clearly set to continue apace. But will it?
New Zealand's national character could fairly be categorised as Scottish Protestant. It is a culture that easily lends itself to dour pessimism. But a closer look reveals that compared with Australia's south-east, NZ's economy is travelling rather well.
The nation's pessimism, while natural, is misplaced. The economy is growing, albeit slowly.
Though in the past two quarters growth has averaged 1.7 per cent, it is projected to rise to more than 3 per cent this year as earthquake rebuilding gathers pace.
There is spending restraint in place; it is modest, but is consistently applied. There is a cautious reorganisation of the public sector under way. Unemployment fluctuates around a percentage point higher than in Australia.
Crucially, compared with Australia, NZ has a pro-business government in which politics have been rendered boring by relative competence.
Prime Minister John Key's approval ratings still make him easily the most popular leader in advanced economies and his National Party is polling at 44 per cent of the primary vote.
Under the Australian electoral system, this would be a crushing lead but under NZ's proportional voting system it means that the Labour-Greens-sundries bloc is ascendant.
Indeed, despite the government's policy timidity on many fronts, Kiwis should have reason to be bullish. For the first time in close on 15 years (and indeed, hopefully reversing a trend of a generation) a subtle change may be taking place. New Zealand is starting to take jobs from Australia.
Woolworths shifted 40 contact centre jobs to Auckland in April and Imperial Tobacco says it will shift cigarette manufacturing from Sydney to NZ. The food production industry has already shifted jobs from Australia.
Key and Finance Minister Bill English want to lure more businesses in Australia to base more operations in NZ.
This is a sensible strategy considering that NZ has a comparative advantage in the regulatory and labour side.
Merrill Lynch's "ease of doing business" survey ranks NZ third compared with Australia in 15th place. On unit labour costs, Australia is highest and NZ is well down the list.
The International Labour Organisation says Australian manufacturing workers made on average $US35 an hour in 2008, compared with $US20 an hour in NZ.
But given the small size of the NZ market, such regulatory advantages need to be substantial to attract investment and operations.
In trying to attract companies to the country, the Key government seems quite happy to cut deals to get businesses to shift or to see the government's preferred options pursued.
This is leading to a re-emergence of the once fashionable "New Zealand Inc". This concept is useful in branding the nation's tourism image, advancing business attractiveness for foreign investors, and pursuing policies such as the free-trade deal with China.
But it also leads to misguided thinking, where the government seems to be wrongly treated as a corporation, with the Prime Minister as chief executive, along with accompanying powers and prerogatives. Aside from the hubris inherent in this approach, it can lead to "picking winners". In this, NZ's track record is even poorer that Australia's.
Mining is to thank for a lot of Australia's growth. The reported growth of Western Australia and Queensland was staggering, whereas both NSW and Tasmania have been in negative territory for the past few months, and Victoria and South Australia are sluggish.
The brain drain will reflect this sooner or later. Most Kiwis who pack up for a non-specific "better life" move to Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne – where economic growth has been moribund and, apart from mining-related jobs, may offer no better prospects than those in NZ.
As it is, NZ is worth watching.
Observers of Australia can see that even with the mining boom, all is not well in the lucky country as the dependence on the boom has driven up the dollar, rendering other industries less competitive.
Business is concerned about Australian politicians of both stripes. Meanwhile, after years of lagging, its next-door neighbour may be getting its mojo back.
