But there is the scifi element - these amazons are aliens that have studied human behaviour, and able to adapt different but always voluptuous female forms - you know Independence Day, War of the Worlds sort of thing with a sulphurous twist!
Jadrank was hired as a Rambo-type leader of specialist guerillas who have the ability to home in on these aliens and whichever form they have adopted. So they tell me.
Can Jadrank run with it?
So... Oct 29th 2011 4:13 GMT: "EU went to China with a begging bowl. I can hear the Chinese cackling all the way across Pacific."
Across the Pacific??? That's at us, dimwit!
If this is the case, then the Chinese most likely crack up with laughter over the $1.3 trillion in t-bills and the $2.2 trillion in free straying 'dump dollars' they are holding us hostage with.

Either you are retarded or do not understand English. You wrote:
"he keeps on bashing the French that, according to such people, are empeching Britain from playing it full role as a arbiter on the continent, cuz he thinks that Britain should be in place of France as the favorite and main partner to Germany."
I am tired of having this discussion. It should be clear to you from the DT blogs, where you are so busy boring us with your hypersensitivity to criticism of the French leadership and the EU, that these people are not there to promote Britain as a partner to any nation in the EU or even less to take a role as "arbiter on the continent". We just want to get out of the EU. Just read the posts instead of obsessing about France. Comprends?
I know France is addicted to the EU and that you yourself love it as long as France runs it.
I do not wish to return to this tedious topic. It is so f-----g BORING.
Topic closed.
"we should watch Sarkozy much more than Angela Merkel"
so "WE", seems to reveal who you really are : a German !
Junoir Oct 29th 2011 6:30: "@ La V Article in DT which will interest you. 'Angela Merkel: the Triumph of Europe's Iron Lady'."
Yes, she might have more in common with your Cameron than with Sarkozy, but it's actually France which is more important for Merkel to get along . . . and to influence.
When performing my morning web scan, Junoir, I came across "Milano Finaza"'s headline: "S&P conferma la tripla A all'ESFS, Giappone e Brasile pronti a investire. - (Standard & Poor's affirmed its triple-A rating for EFSF. This decision was made after the summit of European leaders on October 27, 2011.)"
It's S & P's reasoning that is so interesting: "If we lowered the ratings on one or more of the 'AAA' rated member guarantors, we would also likely lower the ratings on funding instruments that the EFSF had issued before the date of the downgrade, if the lower ratings on the member guarantor were to lead to less than 100% 'AAA' rated coverage for the relevant EFSF funding instrument."
In this context we should actually take a look at the EZ countries with a remaining AAA credit rating:
I only can count 5 (not counting ink-plots like Luxembourg): Austria, Finland, France, Germany, and Netherlands. This is 5 out of 17 – or, with other words, only 29 per cent of all EZ countries. Of these remaining 29 per cent, 3 countries are too small to make singly a grave difference. This is two countries remaining:
France and Germany.
Since Germany is still what "The 24/7 Wall St" most recently called "King of the Euro, with what is now just an undervalued Deutsche Mark", only France remains what can actually be called "holding a pivotal role" on this "Euro Adventure Playground".
So, Junoir, to soothsay the Euro's fate reasonably, we should watch Sarkozy much more than Angela Merkel.
hey, wein56, still drinking at the neocons (but true cons) cows tits?
better being a surrender monkey than a stoopid poodle whose economy is a has been grandeur !
Hollywood is looking for escapism and Drank the skank offers hyperrealism. European bureaucrat caught in a honey trap is passe. The moguls will never go for it. Plenty of fading starlets on Sunset Strip to suborn, however, so he should at least get a rolex or two out of the trip.
In this instance France is basically saying to Germany "we will do whatever you want, just fix our economy". This seems like a very similar mentality to when they would wave their white flags to surrender. But if it works then it doesn't matter what people like I think because they in the end are the ones with the impact on the world and not me.
Portugal has had , historically and up till the 21st century, one of the best public run accounts in the world. This is not knOwn because the Portuguese are both discrete and shy. Throughout the 20th century Ppttugal was a donor country and continued to be to many of its former colonies, and even forgave huge piles of this debt namely and most recently in Mozambique.
Portugal has been an active participant in the euro project and is both admired and respected by its eurozone peers.
The euro is just a currency. We've had four (well the first two complemented each other, then the republican currency, and then the euro) so far and who knows how many more we'll have?
I believe in the euro because I think the future will show us,
In fact it already is, that Europeans must learn to put their differences aside and work as one.
It's an ambitious, adventurous project that I admire and respect and if tt proves to work, as it sort of is, in many ways - it will serve as an example to the rest of the world that nations that warred each other for centuries can speak as one.
Portugal defines itself as Atlanticist and European . It has been perhaps the US's most faithful ally , and by Atlanticism Portugal also means increased ties with Brazil
Of course .
If Britain chooses not to acknowledge Portugal's stance and furthermore chooses to criticise Portugal for her choices , Britain is in her right to do so - although you'll always be slapped back in TE face with a rolled photocopy of the treaty of windsor. ;)
I do get your point about the hyenas. They have their place in the world . But what world is this where the hyenas are made better than lions?
Something's rotten my friend.
Thieves also exist and have the right to exist perhaps, but we have laws to put them in jail when they rob our homes. It should be the same in the financial world .
No freedom without law.
A very basic, and true , rule.
hmm German guy
don't take for granted what Birtnick is selling to you as the normal difficult franco-german relations, he keeps on bashing the French that , according to such people, are empeching Britain from playing it full role as a arbiter on the continent, cuz he thinks that Britain should be in place of France as the favorite and main partner to Germany. Like I wrote on DT, the Brits still look for a umbrella, since the US' is worn out, then the german's looks to them as the economical interesting one that would support their money gamblings !
hmm, also he makes of a particular experience a generalisation !
My elder son worked in Hamburg just after he graded from university, and he had the best relations with the German staff and clients. A german corporation director wanted to hire him as a commercial for finding markets in former eastern Germany, though he declined the offer, cuz he had already chosen to work in UK to improve his english !
I also worked in Dusseldorf in the seventies after High school, and had the best relations with german people too. Though the Brit staff where I worked had the most destestable relations with the Germans, some concurrence of egos were on !
It's not the people that are defaming each other, but the elites and the medias that put fuel on the fire !

Correct, the trail went dead when Jad was Hollywood-scouted at Plitplov's, though I gathered he returned to Split to keep an eye on the "firm's" promising business, turning the Croatian Riviera into the new Sodom and Gemorrah of the Med. Always good for a rising star to keep his hand in on home patch, one would think.
Meanwhile Plitplov's firm leaked that the They Came from Planet Butt script involved dildo-toting Amazons that could adapt themselves to less threatening life-forms, such as submissive secretaries, bunga-bunga bunnies or chambermaids and thus gain back-door admission to the power-broking elites worldwide before compromising them without quarter.
Could be a blockbuster, could be a blooper. Any further news?
In Italy in the 90's to qualify for Maastricht. Don't forget Italy is the land of paradoxes.
We say here (cynically) that the powers-that-be (read: Vatican) always let the Left into government only when cuts are to be made - as only they can dialogue/discipline the trade unions.
hmm Lagarde conveniently replaced DSK ! isn't it funny that he was sent in jail and when he had signed his resign from IMF he was allowed to stay in a upper class inhabitation, then by the time he was released from the rape accusation, la Banon entered onto the stage, and when her claim was classified, another scandal occured, the belgian prostitutes connection, suddenly she decided to abandon the pursuits...
DSK was but the man that disturbed the world financial organisation ! and Lagarde was chosen to replace him, funnily she also was a Lawers office manager in Chicago for 20 years, the City where Obama was senator... and Lipton, a former Obama advisor, became her main advisor...
German guy, excellent analysis (Oct 29th 2011 4:23) of your country's general mood. I came to the same conclusion when talking to Germans during my many visits there. In general, some of your fellow countrymen get a bit 'jingoistic' only when it comes to soccer. Lol.
Joe, unless the Italian "Left" turns out to be in fact a "genosse for the bosse", à la German ex-chancellor Schroeder's Social Democrats, where in the world did a Socialist left ever embrace the necessary spending cuts concerning a country's welfare spending (as routinely the biggest budget segment in all Western countries)?
"While you ramble on about the great universities of the Anglosphere, tell us again how you are an Ivy League graduate . . .".
I have serious doubts if the "universities of the Anglo-sphere" are, at the end of the day, so "great" after all.
Schools do not and should not exist as self-serving entities. They also have to act as a "resource stream" for a nation's common wealth.
Though, an Ivy League diploma is still the best route to Wall Street, in general these schools swallow up too much of our educational resources for what they, on balance, give back in material wealth to our society.
In order to "lure in" enough sponsors and students who are able to pay for their 'educational circus', they have to concentrate way too much on "image cultivation" instead of providing the necessary resources our national economy really needs.
The hunt for 'presentable awards' has often become an end in itself, instead of a spring-board for our nation's economic place in the world - the latter consequently defining our overall wealth and lasting prosperity.
Nations that channel their educational resources to increase their global competitiveness, fare generally better in creating 'common wealth' than our 'expensive' schools in the U.S. do. The latter is even true for institutes that produce Nobel Prize nominees.
Does the Swedish Academy systematically search for the "best" solution (or contribution) in a certain field globally?
The answer is a clear NO! - And it can't, given the massive amount of publicized research that appears almost daily from tens of thousands of institutions in hundreds of different languages worldwide.
A nominee's contemporary reputation often owes as much to manipulation as to merit. In the English speaking world, with its free competitive educational markets, much depends on skill at promotion and self-advertisement. PR money spent by (Ivy League) Schools and special-interest groups can and does grease the slide.
How does work done in China, Germany or Japan compare? The specialized literature and research institutes there keep research result most of the time in their national language. Translations into English, if any, may be rare or fragmentary.
It cannot be doubted that the Swedish Academy acutely understands the difficulties involved in all this as well as anyone. But to have a resident specialist, say in Chinese and the like, will not help much.
Even in Japan or Germany, where the scrutiny and assessment of contemporary research is incessantly done by hundreds of experts, there is not the slightest guarantee that such effort is located by the Norwegian Nobel Committee . . . if it is not parallel published in English, the only publicized language (besides maybe Swedish and Norwegian) the Nobel Committee is guided by.
Does all this work to our advantage? - Surly to the advantage of our "Ivy League Schools" and 'Anglo-sphere' research institutes!
But does it also benefit our country as a whole?
I dare to say: Rather not!
While all Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese (and others) research specialists are able to read and understand our 'intellectual products' in full detail . . . we are locked out from theirs.
Can anything help? After more than a century of awarding prizes and decades of globalization, 'the Nobel' is still quite unadventurous in its move out to become truly world-spanning. Hopefully a certain 'healthy' realism will be setting in over here soon.
Now that the easy obtainable awards (from the English speaking world) have been made, perhaps the committee can be convinced to reorganize itself radically to cope with the "alien" swarming mass of research and scientific advances done in foreign languages and by so called "mediocre" foreign schools.
Perhaps it will redefine one day what it means to be "outstanding" on global scale.
Or perhaps the committee will just stand pat, and wait for arbitrary market forces to flush out such gems from the billions of chances that might bring the whole human race forward a step . . . or two.

As we know, the war is over since 1945 (not 1991)
The second "@sherryblack" should read "@viva"
No more reparations - sorry! I'm afraid that's really my (and probably Germany's) last word on that. The war is over since 1991 - and the reunification took place 1990. That was it with reparations. At the time when they might have been justified (right after the war), Germany simply wasn't able to pay. And now it's too late. As usually with legal issues, it is probably possible to argue both ways here. Possibly one can argue your way (don't know) but it's also certain to interpret the London Conference 1953 and what happened after the reunification to mean that this issue is settled once and for all. I can just tell you for sure that "reparations" won't fly so you may as well also just give up about them.
One constant misunderstanding about Germany being "so powerful" or "clearly being the leader" or whatever: We don't want to be. That Germany was a bit more powerful than the others (but not powerful enough to dominate the others combined) was part of the ingredients for the disaster 1914-1945. We are again a bit more powerful than the others. But the difference is not as big as or was back then. Plus, the difference is shrinking lobg-term: The German population is currently gently declining. Demographic projections are often surprisingly inaccurate (as they tend to firecast the birth rate and immigration wrong). But at the moment it looks like around 2050 or so, the UK, France and Germany might have roughly the same number of inhabitants. And (that's the mood of the vast majority of Germans) we truly don't want to dominate anybody. That's why (though it may seem odd from e.g. a UK perspective) Germany still feels more or less happy with the EU. It's a mechanism of getting along with the others, without Germany dominating the others (or being dominated by it's neighbours). The current crisis was unusual in that German interests were more openly expressed. That was not pretty and I hope it will be different once this emergency situation is over. But with Germany ultimately being the main guarantor in all the plans currently discussed (and partly decided(, it was unavoidable to be more blunt than usually the case. Also how France and Germany have bossed about Italy wasn't nice. But the situation for Euroland is too serious to let a nutcase like Berlusconi play his usual tricks. If necessary, Germany can and will provide leadership. But if possible (hopefully soon), most Germans would prefer going back to the consensus-style decision making that has been the norm in the EU for decades.

You can substitute a bicycle tire for the conch.
After moving from So Fla, the only thing I miss is the fresh food. Nothing is better than Conch as it is very versatile. Can't wait to try this - thinking that maybe squid would also be a good alternative.

sears garage door opener codes
Our Sears 0.5 HP garage door opener(Model# 139.53635SRT) is ~12 years old and has worked well. Recently, it "auto-reversed" itself a few times after closing completely. Per the Owner's Manual, I made a minor adjustment to the "down force", did the 1" board "safety reverse system" check and all seemed well in our world. One morning a few days later, when the light inside the garage was still dim, I happened to notice that the green light on the back of the opener is blinking in a repeating series -- 5 blinks -- pause -- 5 blinks, etc. This continues door up or door down. Otherwise the system seems to be operating normally. Can anyone decode the 5 blinks? The only thing I can find in the owner's manual is that if "THE DOOR REVERSES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND OPENER LIGHT BLINKS FOR 5 SECONDS AFTER REVERSING": CHECK THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR - - . Can't see that I've got a problem.there. Meanwhile (just went out and checked again) the thing continues to generate this non-ending series of 5 blinks.
According to my Chamberlain "cheat sheet" for field use, 5 blinks of the LED light on the motor head means....
"Possible RPM sensor failure/Motor Overheated - unplug to reset."
1st things 1st - just unplug the machine for 10 seconds, then plug it back it. Sometimes garage door openers are like computers and other electronics - they just need to be re-booted to clear the system out. Do that and then count the number of blinks (if any) and let me know.
You're right on target. In my original post I forgot to mention that I had experienced an "overheat" disconnect during the rigging process. I followed the owner's manual direction (wait 15 minutes and try again) and the opener operated fine. Didn't notice blinking light at that time. Manual does not provide code breakdown nor say to unplug unit to clear. I did just that and the thing is working fine with no blinking lights. Thanks again.
I think too much information can be dangerous for some. Technical people like ourselves prefer to solve problems on our own - give us the tools and the knowledge and we're fine.
For others, too much information can be overwhelming and cause more problems than it does fix.
Glad I was able to help and that you were able to get your machine back to normal. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with.

This is the text of my address to Deakin University's annual forum: 'Yes we're still a monarchy but it's not my fault'
The people of Burma – or some of them - went to the polls on Saturday in what was that countries first election process in 20 years. This process was so restricted and stage managed and the substance of the result know as early as three days before the event that even the terms 'poll' and 'election' have to be used in a heavily qualified sense. It was, in reality, just the Burmese junta's mechanism for shifting away from an overt military dictatorship to a slightly more covert form – dictatorship without so many uniforms.
For a political leader who honestly but unwisely admitted that foreign policy is not her passion, Julia Gillard is now learning that how she conducts herself on the world – or regional – stage – is central to her overall performance as a prime minister. How Australia's relationship is conducted with Indonesia is not just important to Australia's external concerns, but directly impacts on domestic political issues.
Front and centre of Ms Gillard's discussions with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was, unsurprisingly, Indonesia's potential role in a regional refugee processing centre. Notice the subtle name change? We may be seeing a move away from an asylum seeker processing centre in East Timor to something located elsewhere, if not more widely dispersed.
It is a truism that Australia's relationship with Indonesia is one of its most important. Yet the bilateral relationship has often been troubled, sometimes deeply so, and may become so again.
The current success of the bilateral relationship can be attributed almost entirely to Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Until his presidency, Australia only kept good relations with previous presidents by bowing to Indonesia's wishes.
With Yudhoyono, however, Australia found a genuine democrat and reformer with whom it had much in common, confirming that previous troubles reflected political rather than claimed cultural differences. However, Yudhoyono is now into his second and final term as president and his reformist agenda has become stalled by an unfriendly legislature and vested institutional interests.
As the new consolation prize Foreign Affairs Minister, Kevin Rudd's first job will be to try to implement the government's 'East Timor solution' for asylum seekers. The issue whether this policy has any chance of success.
The first hurdle to be overcome was the unanimous vote by East Timor's parliament, if with an incomplete sitting of members, opposing the idea. As a wealthy developed country, many East Timorese ask, why does Australia want to off-load its problems onto its impoverished neighbour? Why does Australia not properly shoulder its responsibilities under the Refugee Convention?
My son turned 18 recently, so he was eligible to vote for the first time. Although it is tempting to encourage one's children to vote as one does, I have hoped he will vote not at my suggestion but as a matter of personal conscience. Yesterday, before he went to the polling booths, I offered him some advice.
Despite the way in which Australian election campaigns are conducted, the most recent being the worst example, I asked my son to consider the 'Four Ps'; principle, policy, party and personality, in that order. It would be reasonable to argue that the Australian election process, which is now in mopping up stages, was constructed in the opposite order. So, why my advice?
As the policy-lite federal election runs down to the finish line, one issue widely regarded as just so much debate-neutralising fluff – locating an asylum seeker processing facility in East Timor – is now looking a lot more substantial than initially understood. Although talks about establishing a facility in East Timor are on hold due to the government's caretaker mode, the issue is now being taken very seriously and considerably more favorably within East Timor itself.
The leaking of more than 91,000 US military intelligence files on the war in Afghanistan via the whistleblower website Wikileaks has, in all, told us some of what was known, much of what was suspected and all of which was feared by citizens of the states that are contributing to the war.
What might have been hoped for in yesterday's newspapers was at least an outline of the leaks' key findings, as reported internationally. This is of particular relevance given the Australia is a party to the war and sustains – and causes -- casualties.
Some of the key elements of the Afghanistan Wikileaks include that, at more than 91,000 documents, it vastly overshadows the 1971 Pentagon papers (a little over 4000 documents) and provides a near complete synopsis of how the war has been conducted between 2004 and the end of last year.
The vote by East Timor's parliament yesterday to oppose the establishment of an Australian off-shore asylum seeker processing centre should not have come as a surprise. Parliamentarians from the government and opposition have been saying they were against the idea since it was announced last week.
The Australian government has certainly acted unperturbed by the vote, with Foreign Minister Stephen Smith saying the vote from the parliament did not necessarily reflect the position of the government. The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has similarly said that the process is "going forward".

South Boston Council approves lobbying funds
SoVaNow.com / October 10, 2013South Boston Town Council has agreed to donate $5,000 to the Virginia Coalition to keep up its anti-uranium lobbying efforts in Richmond, and indicated it would allocate another $5,000 in next year's budget should the Coalition still need the money.
Council took action Monday night on the recommendation of its Finance Committee. The issue had been discussed a week earlier in work session, when the finance panel, headed by Coleman Speece, voted to recommend the contribution.
A town resident, retired attorney Robert Meeks, spoke to Council on Monday to urge members to refrain from using taxpayer funds to support the Coalition. Meeks said he had no strong feeling on the issue of uranium mining, but felt the Town should not be contributing to the efforts of the Coalition, a business-oriented group that has hired lobbyists to press lawmakers to keep Virginia's uranium mining ban.
In other action, Council approved the conveyance of three pieces of property at 1401 College Street to the Southside Outreach group following a public hearing during which Outreach director Earl Howerton said his group wants to build a house, possibly two. for use in the group's home ownership program.
Council also considered their choices of opting out of the Virginia Local Disability Program which becomes effective on January 1. Members are looking at two other competing programs which both the Town of Halifax and Halifax County are considering for coverage in the coming years.
Council also gave its approval to rental fees for the Washington Coleman Community Center which members had discussed at their earlier work session. Those fees include a $75 fee for each hour of usage, plus a $100 set-up fee and a $200 refundable deposit if no damage is inflicted to the property.
Councilman W. R. "Bill" Snead was absent from the Monday meeting.

CommentsWhat a joke this Robert Meeks is? He's "ambivalent" about uranium mining and yet the Gazette quotes him as saying "All these ways to shut it down and prevent it from happening, I've been listening to it for 40 years. None of this is new to me. I'm not easily frightened. I'm not concerned what's going to happen if they mine uranium over in the next county." "All these people who claim to know what's going to happen, they don't know. It's all conjecture, speculation. That's all it is. Let me guess Robert we are supposed to trust the government when they say sure it can be done safely. Typical liayer.

Whooosh! And MERRY CHRISTMAS!Wednesday, December 24th, 2014
And to those of you don't celebrate Christmas, Merry Mistletoe! We can all do with a hug and a smooch, including pug smooches. Just checking in briefly to say hullo, thank you and whatnot. Can't believe it has been a week and a half since my last post. Can you say BUSY? First and foremost, though, I wanted to say thank you to all of you who read this blog. I am still astounded that there are people who read my blog and know who I am! I'm just plain old me, I putter in my sewing room, and blather on here and there, so thank you from the bottom of my seriously-thread-linty heart!
Widgeon sends smooches to the universe. Makes me realize that perhaps, if the world were as friendly as a pug, it would be a better place.
I made a few ornaments again this year, once again using the beautiful ribbon from Renaissance Ribbons as my inspiration. I bought the wool felt up at Fiddlehead Artisan Supply in Belfast, Maine, and stitched the mistletoe in either two or six strands of floss, then used perle cotton for the big-stitching on the edge.
And to close, of course the Christmas tree. Thumper decided to grace us with her presence. I expect there is at least one other cat asleep under the tree. So far, none IN the tree.
So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

New IPEDS Data: Profile of online education in U.S., Fall 2012
New IPEDS Data: Profile of online education in US / Fall 2012
January 13, 2014
Last week I mentioned how the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) and its Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) are now providing preliminary data for the Fall 2012 term that for the first time includes online education. Let's look at a profile of online education in the US for degree-granting colleges and university, broken out by sector and undergrad / grad degrees.
IPEDS tracks information now about students taking exclusively distance education courses, students taking some but not all distance education courses, and students not taking any distance education courses. Please note the following:
- I am using the terminology "online courses" rather than "distance education". For the most part these terms are interchangeable, but they are not equivalent as "distance education" can include courses delivered by a medium other than the Internet (e.g. correspondence course). Part of the reason I stick with "online course" is that there is a growing use case where students local to a campus choose to take a course online, which is not really at a distance.
Here is the new IPEDS data for undergraduate and graduate students and courses:
Now let's combine the data, undergraduate and graduate students and courses:
Previously, the best data available on total student counts came from the Babson Survey Research Group with their annual survey (prior to 2012 called the Sloan survey). This is the survey tracking the total number of students taking at least one course online. When I talked to the researchers earlier this year, they mentioned that they hoped the new IPEDS data would 'put them out of business'. I hope this comment was half in jest, as their survey measures much more information than just total student counts and they have very useful longitudinal data. I have asked BSRG for an updated statement on their plans but have not been able to get a response yet.
Some additional notes on the data:
- According to the IPEDS data, 5.5 million (26%) degree-seeking students in the US took at least one online course in Fall 2012, which is significantly less than that reported by Babson (6.7 million / 32% for Fall 2011 data). Keep in mind the different methodologies involved – IPEDS collects data reported directly from colleges and universities, while Babson is based on a representative survey; IPEDS measures "distance education", while Babson measures "online courses". I would look forward to this year's Babson survey to explain the differences, but for now, I'll just note the difference.
- For-profit schools (66% undergrad and 82% of grad students taking at least one online course) and public 2-year colleges (27% students taking at least one online course) have the highest usage of online courses, followed by public 4-year institutions (22% undergrad and 24% of grad students taking at least one online course.
- Graduate students have a higher rate of taking online courses (22% exclusively online and 30% taking at least one online course) than do undergraduates (11% exclusively online and 25% taking at least one online course); however, there is a higher percentage of undergrads taking some, but not all, of their courses online (14%) than of grad students (8%). In other words, grad programs appear to be fully face-to-face or fully online whereas undergrad programs have a higher mix-and-match percentage.
- Overall, there were slightly more students taking some, but not all, of their courses online than students taking exclusively online courses. This group of students who are augmenting their face-to-face programs with online courses, gets far less coverage and analysis than the fully online students. I suspect that this number will grow over time.
A simple software program improves graduation rates at Purdue
A Simple Software Program Improves Graduation Rates at Purdue
by Kristen Hicks
January 13, 2014
Technology helps us wake up in the morning. It helps people stick to workout routines, keep appointments, and create and follow daily to do lists. Should we be surprised that a simple technology could be used to help students take more initiative in school and develop better study habits?
Since 2007, Purdue University has given professors the option to use software called Signals in their courses. The role the software plays is simple: several times throughout the course, based on several metrics of how the student is performing, the professor will update a traffic light displayed on the student's course website to show a green, yellow or red light.
Students who see their light change will have an immediate gauge on their performance and know whether they need to step up their efforts to succeed in the course. Professors can also choose to include a note along with the update, perhaps reminding a student whose performance is slipping about the extra study sessions available.
While it seems so basic, it really makes a difference. In the same way that someone who has a hard time getting a workout routine started may finally find just what they need in the right smartphone app; for a student who wants to perform well, but just hasn't figured out the right habits, an early warning system can be just the fix to get them on track.
Purdue researchers aren't just trusting their gut on this one, the data they've collected in the last 5 years bears this out. Students enrolled in only one class that uses Signals show a 20.87% increase in graduation rates. Make it two or more, and the results jump to a 24.36% increase.
One question this raises is: why should there be a need for this? Shouldn't students be able to take initiative on their own, without a technological crutch? For that matter, shouldn't professors be able to recognize when a student is falling behind and intercede, without needing data collected from online sources and a symbolic messaging system to do it for them? Ok, maybe that's three related questions.
Higher education comes with its share of "shoulds." If the end goal is teaching students how to learn, giving them good habits for doing so, and equipping them with the knowledge they need to succeed in the world, does it really matter what tools you use along the way to get them there?
In larger classes, professors can't reasonably track the progress of each individual student on a regular basis. While students should be able to recognize when they're having trouble and be comfortable asking for help, that just isn't always the case.
Signals is helping overcome obstacles that are causing students to fall through the cracks or give up entirely. Who knew the answer could be as easy as a personalized stop sign?

The weddingsonline Awards 2015 winners were announced on Monday February 16th in the Royal Marine Hotel, at a glamorous black tie ceremony co-hosted by broadcaster and bride-to-be, Lisa Cannon.
Hundreds of guests representing the country's finest wedding businesses and services gathered at the stylish event to celebrate the winners of Ireland's most prestigious annual wedding awards.

Clicking on "Facebook Color Changer" App Will Leave You Purple —with Rage.
Okay you don't like Facebook's standard royal blue. Well there's an app called "Facebook color changer" that promises to change the color of your Facebook page from royal blue to any color you choose.
Don't click on it
However, if you click on it, writes Dave Smith on businessinsider.com (link to article), you'll end up rerouted to a malicious phishing site whose aim is infecting your computer.
10, 000 victims
The scam was discovered by Cheetah Mobile security researchers who say more than 10,000 people around the world have become victims. Smith writes that the app (maybe trap is a better word) works like this:
[When users click on the app, they are] directed to a phishing website that steals [user] Facebook "access tokens." [Hackers] can use [the tokens] to connect with [users'] Facebook friends and spam them.
The Facebook color malware can also prompt users to download a separate video application, or a separate app if [they're] using an Android phone. Both pieces of software contain malware, which could be used for more nefarious purposes than scamming [users'] friends, particularly if the malware can log…keystrokes or access other data points on [on users' computers.]
How to get rid of it
Anyone inadvertently clicking on the "Facebook color changer" app can remove it by going to Facebook app settings. However, after removing the app, Cheetah Mobile recommends the user change his/her password.
After all this, you still can't stand looking at a royal blue Facebook page. Then, go to Google Chrome and try the "Color My Facebook" add-on, which Smith notes, "lets you change the color scheme to pretty much any color you could think of."
Wonder if it works for plaid.
