From the (relatively) safer perch of 2013, we can look back at the Cold War with the knowledge that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. never ended up in open combat despite decades of tension.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 8/21/12
Detroit Lions defensive end Cliff Avril reported to training camp on August 5, ending his holdout after only nine days.After a breakout 11-sack season last year, Avril came into the offseason looking to be paid like a Pro Bowler on a long-term deal.The Lions had other plans, sticking him with the one-year franchise tag.Like many players tagged this year, Avril refused to immediately sign his franchise tender in an effort to force the Lions to come up with a contract.When he still failed to sign the tender on the eve of training camp, Lions fans had real reasons to worry.But after an offseason of negotiating, it's the Lions who have gotten exactly what the needed. Make no mistake, the Lions need Avril coming off the edge this year. Willie Young and Laurence Jackson are solid, but neither generates pressure like Avril.With the Lions fielding a defensive backfield that may be even worse than last year's, constant quarterback pressure will be essential. Avril's explosiveness makes this ...

In this Collection overview article, this entrepreneur and director argues boards of directors are critical success factors in fast-growing companies. This expert debunks a set of common misconceptions many entrepreneurs have about boards and outlines why an entrepreneur should build one.
Bill Payne invests, serves on boards, teaches, writes and mentors -- but most of all, has fun.
Nancy Richards could have taken an easier route with her business, but instead chooses to help small, talented companies get established by creating partnerships with them.
Ron Rubin's profession is tea, but he is also steeped in giving back to student entrepreneurs.
Giving back to the community-and engaging one-on-one with charitable operatives, the press, and other local constituencies-enables small businesses to increase exposure at little cost, says the founder of a national moving franchiser.
Many founders have cited the importance of access to mentoring and coaching that the peer-to-peer organizations, as well as industry groups, Chambers of Commerce, and trade associations, have provided for them.
Writing, advising, lecturing - for Andrew Sherman, it's all about educating entrepreneurs.
For entrepreneurial companies and their established counterparts, joint ventures and strategic alliances bring mutual benefits that each would otherwise be unable to achieve independently.
Small and growing companies are discovering lucrative new markets abroad. Developing countries are importing products, tech know-how and system support and offering franchising, licensing and distribution opportunities. If your company is expanding abroad, you need to know what you're getting into.

Dana Holgorsen to WVU rumors running rampant. I'm very, very intrigued.
Been successful everywhere he's been as an OC in Houston, TT, and now in Ok. State.
Holgorsen in as OC and Head Coach In Waiting! Taking over in 2012!
Does it say anything that WVU started pursuing him once they found out he was the leading candidate at Pitt?
Thought something was up when I read this morning that Stewart might be out and UK was looking at David Lockwood as a DB coach.
Should make WVU's offense a lot more exciting. What's surprising to me is that Jeff Mullen is a leading candidate for Kent State's open head coaching job.
I've always compared Bill Stewart to Tubby Smith at Kentucky. A good family man who you would love for your child to play for, but there is somebody who could do a better job. However, with Tubby there was still a section of the fanbase who supported him even though the program was going downhill. That applies to Stewart, especially since he is from West Virginia.
The only thing I can say is that I hope Dana Holgersen hits the ground running in Morgantown and starts winning and winning big. If he doesn't, that section of the fanbase will voice their frustrations the same way UK did with Gillispie and WVU could be looking for a new coach again, with a lot higher expectations heaped onto Oliver Luck.
I wouldn't necessarily give him the title "offensive genius", although the numbers do speak for themselves. He's been made into what he is by Mike Leach (who WVU could have had as well), and before Mike Leach by Hal Mumme.
Its a great day to be a Mountaineer fan!! Nothing against Bill Stewart,but I have been wanting this day to come for awhile now.With DH as our OC this year and Head Coach in 2012 WVU's ofense will be back to normal and putting up alot of points in games.Plus with our great defensive head coach Casteel,this team has the opurtunity to look very dangerous in the not to distant future.
I can spell,I just can't type!!
You guys have to be happy with the Pitt hire too. Heywood to Oakland has the UC fans scratching our heads.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?

Superior Court Judge Phil Ginn handed down his sentence for a Franklin man who lost control of his truck and drove off a road last October, killing 19-year-old Parker Mathis and seriously injuring Jesse Welch, 23.

How do strong brands affect talent recruitment?
Top brands attract top candidates
How do strong brands affect talent recruitment?: Top brands attract top candidates Interbrand | Pg. 2 How do strong brands affect talent recruitment?: Top brands attract top candidates by Maryann Stump A recent spate of books touts the importance of having a "personal brand" when jobhunting. That's only one side of the equation. Even in a tough economy companies are competing for the best job candidates and that competition starts well before a job opening is posted. Can brands give employers an edge in helping to attract top talent? The job market has changed from the days when the Help Wanted ads were the primary way for employers and potential employees to find each other. Today, most companies have websites that allow candidates to search open positions and enter their credentials into a database for future openings. Candidates also expect to know more about a company before they apply. They're studying the company's website and reading reviews on sites like Vault and Glass Door. That's because they know their own worth and they're looking for more than a job; they want a job with a company that offers room to grow, that shares their values and is respected by their peers. Regardless of industry or offering, brand can play an important role in attracting top talent. That's because brands convey stature, values and purpose � the very things that matter to the best job candidates. "I liked the brand so much, I went to work for the company." Entrepreneur Victor Kiam carved out a space in consumer minds in the 1980s with his slogan � "I liked it so much, I bought the company" � that declared his love of the Remington shaver. The slogan worked because it spoke of a simple commitment anyone could understand. "I believe in this product enough to invest my own money in it." The recruitment equivalent would be having employees feel such an affinity with a brand to invest one's own career in it. Consider the global employment market. In India and China, employees may move hundreds of miles away from family and friends for a job. The potential employer's brand offers more than a career; it offers a community built around the brand. In Japan, employees literally wear their employer's brand on their lapels to show others that they work for a respected company. "That's not in my job description." Consider this opening to a job posting for a Senior Finance Manager on Monster.com: There's the typical job. Punch in, push paper, punch out, repeat. Then there's a career at (blank). Where you're encouraged to defy routine. To explore the far reaches of the possible. To travel uncharted paths. And to be a part of something far bigger than yourself. Because around here, changing the world just comes with the job description. Compare this to the opening for a similar position at a competing firm: From your very first day at (blank), you'll notice it � we do things differently around here. You'll be challenged to lead from day one, and rewarded when you do. Because we're in over 170 countries around the world, your work will have a real impact on the lives of people everywhere. So bring your passion to (blank); together there's no telling what we can achieve. The offers are clear � take a ho-hum job or sign up to change the world. It's not difficult to imagine a highly qualified job candidate being inspired to read more after an introduction like this, even without knowing the name of the company. A top candidate would likely also ask how believable the promises are to impact the How do strong brands affect talent recruitment: Top brands attract top talent Interbrand | Pg. 3 lives of people everywhere or change the world. When the names of the companies are revealed � Apple and HP, respectively � the promises become credible. In fact, even without the stirring introductions, top job candidates are already seeking out both companies because their brands already convey a compelling promise that is as compelling to internal audiences as it is relevant to customers. How can brand help? 1. Align your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) with your brand: Don't speak to potential employees differently than you would to a customer. Maintain your brand tone of voice on your career site and other career communications. Use brand as the lens for explaining what the company offers and what it expects in return. 2. Remember that your brand IS your employer brand: Don't add confusion by creating a separate, disconnected employer brand. If your brand is about creating a magical travel experience for every customer, that doesn't mean you have to offer a magical work experience. You need to convey that candidates can be part of creating those experiences. 3. Depict the desired future through your brand: You want top talent to build their career with you so tell them where the company is going. Is your brand all about inventing the future? Then talk about how you're doing that and how employees contribute to that future. 4. Finally, brag a little: If you're the 55th most valuable global brand, let potential candidates know. Tell them about your brand on your career site; tell them what you stand for and what you strive to deliver to your customers. Let them know how they'll be changing the world. Finally, brag a little: If you're the 55th most valuable global brand, let potential candidates know. Maryann Stump Maryann Stump is Senior Director of Strategy at Interbrand. She specializes in Internal Brand Engagement and B2B brands. Maryann believes that a thorough understanding of the business goals and realities combined with an understanding of customers' needs is essential to creating powerful and focused brands. interbrand.com Creating and managing brand value TM

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 11/14/12
Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing is proud to announce that Colombian middleweight power puncher Jose Miguel "Mochuelito" Torres (26-5, 23 KOs) has signed an exclusive multiyear promotional agreement with Sampson Boxing LLC. 33-year-old Torres is probably best known for his NABO and NABF title-winning KO 6 over previously undefeated Patrick Majewski last November.

The Sens saw Too Short at a sushi place in Hollywood and were pretty excited about it
Oct 10, 2013, 1:06 PM EDT
From the notebook of Bruce "Gettin' It" Garrioch of the Ottawa Siz-un:
With an extra day in Los Angeles, the Senators did a little sightseeing Tuesday. With Erik Condra and Kyle Turris as tour guides, rookie Jean-Gabriel Pageau and winger Cory Conacher went to see the 'Hollywood' sign in the hills after practice.
"Someone had to show them around a little bit," said Condra before the game.
Pageau enjoyed the whole experience and was especially pleased to catch a glimpse of 47-year-old rapper Too Short, who makes his home here. "We had a nice tour," said Pageau. "We saw (Too Short) when we went for Sushi in Hollywood. It was fun to see a celebrity there," said Pageau.
"Pageau's 5-foot-9, so it's no wonder he was excited to see Too Short," is something I expected to see in Garrioch's column, and was surprised I didn't.

"Just like pimp but what's the fact
The fact they just couldn't get with that
They were all frustrated all mapped out
Didn't even know what to rap about"
Looks like that's the highlight of your season, boys!
We all know that the championship is going to land in the WILD WILD WEST!

Notwithstanding the 'childishness' of this story, it sure is a relief that we Kings prevailed last night. But in saying that however, I'm still 'not' liking what I'm seeing from our team so far ? Of course it was good to see Captain Brown scoring finally and for Carter to 'carry the day' yet again … but man, we blew a three goal lead ? Anyway, we're now off to the Carolinas to play the lowly Hurricanes on Friday. So perhaps that will afford us the opportunity to 'bust' things wide open here and finally get going ?

I would be pretty excited also.

What the hell does this have to do with hockey? "I heard Lundqvist was at a hollywood premier the other night. He loved the movie."

Probably an adorable romp about a goalie who's in a contract year and just can't seem to make a save…

What's your sister's email?

Friends … if you're short on material today, then perhaps you might consider the following:
On another warm and pleasant evening here at Grandview GC, ardent LA Kings fan and 'quality' ball-striker Blomfeld left 'no stone unturned' on his way to carding a very respectable '8' over 80. Said Blomfeld after the round … 'hey man, even though that was a pretty decent outing, I still feel like I should have done more … driver was a bit shaky at first, but I got that dialed in by the turn … and I'm starting to finally get a handle on this new putter … anyway, I'll be back here tomorrow man" …

31 year old woman | Menlo Park, CA, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 40 miles
I was born and raised in Toronto, but I've lived in the US for twelve years, so I sadly don't sound Canadian anymore (except for the occasional "eh"). I moved out to the Bay seven years ago and am now thoroughly addicted to both the sun and the lifestyle. Aside from the people in my life, the three things that I'm most passionate about are books, food and travel. One of my favourite ways to spend a day is to wander aimlessly with a good friend, discovering new places, running random errands, grabbing a snack or a coffee when needed. I like doing a whole bunch of things, but don't seem to do any of them with any regularity. I love museums and musicals; snowboarding and scuba diving; cooking and eating interesting food; having long, meandering conversations (I am incredibly talented at over-analyzing things). And I love going to movies in the theater - I'll watch almost anything. Trying to describe your own personality is really hard, and it never seems to come out quite right. But here goes: I'm a really cheerful person with a smart-ass sense of humour. I'm left-handed and Canadian and absurdly proud of both of those things, even though I did nothing to turn out that way (hence my pointed spelling of the word 'humour'). I can be really adventurous and really lazy, sometimes both at the same time. I'm terrible at keeping my stories short and very prone to going off on tangents. I like to think it's because my brain is too fast, but I know that's probably not it. I'm looking for someone fun and interesting, but who's not afraid to spend a whole day doing nothing; Someone who has a handle on their life, but also has a silly side. Confidence and intelligence are really important to me. And I'm a sucker for a great smile :)
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
Wherever I'm going next (right now that's Beijing). Favourite past destinations include Bonaire (for diving), Istanbul and Vietnam.
A random sampling of some things I love: Negihama handrolls, Superhero movies, Being in another country, Radiolab, Philz coffee, Great conversation, spotted eagle rays, the well-curated playlists of others, Farmer's markets, and Lau Lau.

Watch a third-generation Cajun cook prepare traditional Creole gumbo. This is the real deal! You'll see how to make a slow-cooked roux for a serious gumbo that stars shrimp, crabmeat, and andouille sausage. Watch the video, then get dailyrecipedoctor's top-rated recipe for Good New Orleans Creole Gumbo. The 5-star recipe is a combination of recipes from the submitter's New Orleans mother and grandmother. See more Cajun food videos >>
All the authentic gumbo I've eaten in Louisiana was served with a little rice in the bottom of a big bowl. I've made a similar recipe and yes, it freezes well. I strongly recommend trying several recipes for gumbo to find your favorite. But the soup has to have roux!
How many people would this recipe serve with rice?
All I can say is that I love Gumbo , I have never made this myself .I will made sometime soon . I hope this Gumbo turn out well !

Liz Austin has been a dressage competitor since 1989. She began riding sales horses when she was twelve, the same year she started her first horse under saddle. At sixteen she competed in her first Prix St. Georges on a horse she trained herself and by twenty-two she made her Grand Prix dressage debut in Europe riding Olivier.
Liz has had the unique opportunity to work with some of the greatest riders and trainers in the world. In the spring of 2013 she had the chance to spend two months in England training with Carl Hester which she calls, "the most inspirational riding adventure of my life." Other trainers Liz has also worked extensively with Kathy Connelly, Michael Barisone, Lendon Gray, Robert Dover, Oded Shimoni, Tuny Page and Jennifer Baumert. As a Young Rider Liz participated in the Advanced Young Rider clinics with Conrad Schumacher and she credits him with giving her the basis for much of her training today. Additional clinicians Liz has worked with include Debbie McDonald, Ingird Klimke, Scott Hassler, Ulf Moeller and Hubertus Schmidt. Liz is now available in the Lexington, KY area during the summer and in Wellington, FL in the winter.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, crème de cacao, cream and ice cubes, and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the cocoa.
Interesting. Not bad at all. Certainly an fun & unusual combination of ingredients. A bit "fumey" if you can imagine, with several strong spirits on top of each other. I can't help thinking that there are better things to do with your tequila.

Cheap Chelsea apartments pretty much have gone extinct, with developers churning out new buildings and turning warehouses into condos. (The High Line's arrival will likely zoom prices further into the stratosphere.) But the newly arrived glitz and gloss even the Chelsea Hotel's being fancified and the long-established retail rows (Container Store, anyone?) can sometimes obscure the neighborhood's charms. That includes a historic center with townhouses rivaling other neighborhoods' brownstones and one of the world's biggest at the time it was built, anyway mega-apartment buildings, London Terrace. And don't forget a gallery scene that continues to thrive. To get a better feel for Chelsea, stop by this weekend's open houses, listed after the jump. S. Jhoanna Robledo

Why would they open a theatre in this area of Gwinnett? It's riddled with gang activity and even a recent random murder at at rental car facility. NO WAY I'd open a business near Gwinnett Mall area...the whole area has dried up because of the gangs and violence. Out of business in 1 year!

Pepsi is a very service driven company and I'm sure they probably made a price concession too. Coke can be a little "too big for their britches". Way to GCCC

Learn to use Visual Studio, Visual Studio Online, Application Insights and Team Foundation Server to decrease rework, increase transparency into your application and increase the rate at which you can ship high quality software throughout the application lifecycle
Following on from our last blog post on IntelliTrace enhancements for SharePoint, in this blog post we'll talk about how the new analysis section for SharePoint can help you find the source of issues faster.
IntelliTrace is very good at providing a lot of data to you for debugging, but there is such a thing as "too much" data. When a lot of information is available, it can be hard to figure out what to look for and how to find it. To help you pinpoint bugs more quickly, we've added an Analysis section to the IntelliTrace Summary Page, which is the first thing that you will see when you open an IntelliTrace log. This new section strives to be "smart" about the data it presents; that is, it will point you towards places in your code that are likely to contain bugs. The Analysis section is populated by analyzing the log (hence the name) to look for the specific patterns and events that indicate problems.
In Update 1, the analysis section is focused squarely on highlighting unhandled exceptions in SharePoint applications.
An exception is considered "unhandled" in a SharePoint (and ASP.NET) application if it has propagated to the global exception handler. Such an exception in a SharePoint application usually results in a rather cryptic error page:
…which doesn't contain much information at all. Such errors are severe enough that they are almost never considered "normal" behavior. Hence, Visual Studio will aggregate occurrences of such unhandled exceptions into the Analysis section when it encounters them in an IntelliTrace log, so that you can start debugging them directly from the summary page.
In the following walkthrough, we will debug a SharePoint page that contains such an unhandled exception, and use the new Analysis section to quickly get to the relevant piece of code. You may recall the example from our last IntelliTracewith SharePoint blog post.
First, start collecting on the App Pool that contains the SharePoint application. Specifically look at steps 1-4 in the 'How do I get started' section. In this example the App Pool is called "SharePoint – 80", we used the default collection plan, and we told IntelliTrace to put collected logs into a folder called "IntelliTraceLogs" on the Desktop:
Then, navigate to the SharePoint site to get the error page. Note the Correlation ID:
After the page finishes loading, stop collecting on the App Pool:
Now we navigate to the "IntelliTraceLogs" folder and open the IntelliTrace log:
Visual Studio will display the IntelliTrace summary page upon opening the log:
Note that the analysis section here has a list with an item that tells you that IntelliTrace has "found 1 unhandled exception(s) with type: System.Net.WebException". The item in this list represents all the unhandled exceptions with this type and the same call stack, as the page explains. Also note that the Correlation ID in that drop-down box is identical to the one found on the error page.
At this point, we can expand the Call Stack to determine the method in which this exception was thrown, and the sequence of method calls that led up to it:
To go to code, just click "Debug Exception". This will bring you to the place where the exception was thrown:
Note: If you see the message "Symbols not found", Visual Studio can't resolve the source locations. Make sure the application's symbol (.pdb) files are in the Visual Studio symbol path. See Find symbol (.pdb) files and source files.
Here is a zoomed in screenshot of the relevant portion from the IntelliTrace window:
Note that the IntelliTrace window has been filtered to show only events in the web request that threw the unhandled exception. The string "WebRequest:9de42c72-cbd1-4882-bee4-e83e3ddc3c50" indicates that the list has been filtered to the web request that was assigned that specific Correlation ID (the same one in our error page and in the drop-down list) by SharePoint.
It seems that the service we were trying to use was down. Maybe it'll come back later. The fix is easy: just catch the exception and display a notification message informing users about the situation:
After re-deploying, our page now works just fine:
The Analysis section makes it possible to skip many tedious steps when debugging bugs caused by unhandled exceptions. Compare the single click needed here to go to code with the manual analysis done in the previous post.
If you have ideas or suggestions, leave them in the comments below. We appreciate your feedback!
Where can we get the sample code for this demonstration so we can learn and walkthrough this feature in our environment?
Thanks for checking out this blog post! Unfortunately we don't have this exact project available to share though you should be able to create a SharePoint site to use with IntelliTrace easily if you're familiar with SharePoint development. There wasn't anything particularly special about the sample site we used, just inject a failure into a site which will result it the SharePoint error page.
Going forward we'll take a point of making the sample projects\sites available with the posts on IntelliTrace when appropriate so that you can go through the scenario as well.
Actually this approach is saving 200% time in debugging and and analyzing where the exception thrown but with this functionality saving time
thanks a lot author

I would like to say thank you to Glevum Security for helping me gain my SIA licence in static guarding. I had been out of work since middle of March and had been applying for all sorts of retail positions and only received 2 replies from the company's applied to. I spoke to my adviser with the job centre and said I was interested in doing my security badge, to which he put me in touch with Learn Direct who would be able to help me. I had a meeting with Learn Direct who signed me up for 2 courses and on completion of the courses, I would get an incentive which I used to pay for my security course through yourselves. I found your course very informative and helpful as to what I needed to know about the job, as soon as I had my licence granted on the SIA system, I started to apply for security guard positions through various job websites. I am now working in the security industry as a security guard for Securitas. I was able to gain employment not only through contacts I have within the company who alerted me to the position available but most importantly, to yourselves at Glevum, who work with company's such as Learn Direct to help people like me gain the correct qualifications to help the job. I can't say thank you enough and I would happily recommend both Glevum Security and Learn Direct to anyone who is looking to move into the security industry or who is looking to keep busy whilst out of work. Thanking You. Liam Trigg

We Are Sorry! We Hate Email Too…
We made a mistake today when sending out an email invitation to a webinar we are hosting. Unfortunately, as a result of this mistake, we sent this email to users who weren't supposed to get it; in some cases, they received it multiple times. We wanted to take a minute to apologize for that and let you know that we did not mean to SPAM you.
The irony is that a key business benefit of Yammer is reducing email load, although we do from time to time send emails to communicate with our users. This irony is not lost on us. We promise that we did not intentionally send you more than one email today. We also promise you that we are diagnosing the source of the mistake and are putting additional processes in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present
About me: I'm new to Denver. I've done quite a bit of traveling, but have never lived outside of Florida before this move. I love my job and work very hard but I also love to have a good time. I enjoy all kinds of activities - an evening out, outdoor adventures and even curling up on the couch for the night. Anything can be enjoyable with the right company. I like to go out for dinner, a good glass of wine or whatever sounds fun at that moment. I enjoy concerts and I've been told Denver has a great summer scene for them. I usually exercise a few days a week. I'm not obsessive about it but I try to stay in shape and live a healthy lifestyle. I fell in love with skiing over the past few years, which was a huge driving factor for my move. I am planning to get in to a whole new world of outdoor activities now that I am in the right place for it! What I'm looking for: I want an outdoorsy man with a good balance of work and play. I think both are equally important in life. I want someone who is over the partying stage of life, is intelligent, driven and can have good conversations. Don't get me wrong, I like to go all out occasionally, but not on a weekly basis anymore and I would like to meet someone similar. I believe in God, so an Atheist man is not the one for me. I do want to settle down, but I'd like to remove the word 'settle' from that. I want to find the right person for me, but I am in no way willing to 'settle.' I have a lot to offer to the right person I just haven't found that person yet. If there's more you want to know, all you have to do is ask :-)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Cycling, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I'm still learning my favorite spots in Denver and I would love suggestions. Hint hint ;-)

In Oregon, 13th grade = free year of college
Some Oregon students are signing up for a fifth year of high school — that's really a first year of community college. The state pays the district about "$6,500 per student, and the district in turn uses the money to pay for three terms of community college tuition, fees and books," reports the Oregonian.
Students get a year of college for free. The district ends up with enough funding to hire a counselor to help students handle the transition.
The idea is that by easing students' transition and making the first year free, high schools get more students to try college and more to stick with it, said Frank Caropelo, assistant superintendent of Greater Albany Schools, which launched the program in partnership with Linn-Benton Community College this school year.
"That is moving the dial on 40-40-20," the state's goal of having 40 percent of young adults earn four-year degrees and another 40 percent earn two-year degrees or industry-recognized credentials, Caropelo said.
Nursing is a popular field, said coordinator Danielle Blackwell. "We've got some (aspiring) engineers. We've got a ton that want to do chemistry or biology and some that want to do journalism. We've got some who are passionate about art or music, but they're wondering that they are going to do with that. Some of them are deciding to minor in the arts but study business and merchandising."
Chemeketa Community College has partnered with schools in Dallas, Oregon for seven years. Many first-generation students sign up, said Brian Green, assistant principal at Dallas High. More than three-fourths complete a full year of community college, he said.
It's a great way to ease 17- and 18-year-olds into college, writes Rebecca Schuman on Slate. "It's worth considering making the 13th grade standard, not just for students on the vocational, technical, or community college track, but for the four-year-college-bounds as well. The fact is, many American students enter college woefully unprepared."
Tennessee: Certificate holders out-earn 4-year grads
Tennessee workers with associate degrees and long- term certificates often start at higher wages than four-year graduates, according to a new College Measures study. It takes five years for graduates with bachelor's degrees to catch up.
"You don't need to go to a flagship university to get a good job. There are many successful paths into the labor market," said Mark Schneider, author of the report. "Students have the right to know before they go and know before they owe."
The EduTrendsTN website, a joint venture of the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and the Matrix Knowledge Group, has detailed data on labor market returns in Tennessee.
At the end of the first year in the workforce, long-term certificate holders earned more than $40,000, those with associate degrees, $37,000 and those with a bachelor's, $34,262. After five years, the median wages of bachelor's graduates were similar to two-year graduates' earnings ($41,888 versus $41,699), and slightly trailed certificate holders ($42,250).
"Many sub-baccalaureate credentials can be entryways to the middle class," Schneider said.
Learning how to fix things or fix people pays off, writes Schneider on The Quick and the Ed. For associate degree graduates, electric engineering technicians earned the most ($61,000) after five years. Graduates in nursing and allied health fields also did well.
Graduates in business, liberal arts and management and information systems earned less than the state median. Human Development and Family Studies graduates earned much less.
After five years, associate degree graduates average $41,699, a few dollars more than Tennessee's median household income.
"Five years after graduation, the 15 Tennesseans who got bachelor's degrees in ethnic, cultural minority, or gender studies were making an average annual wage of $26,000, actually about $2,000 per year less than they were making one year after graduation," notes Fawn Johnson on National Journal.
In a recent survey, 99 percent of parents with children in college said that college is "an important investment in one's future." Yet, "only about half of students, graduates, and parents of college students had engaged in an 'in-depth' conversation about how student loans would be managed or paid for after graduation."
Short-term certificates raise earnings
Earning a vocational certificate in one year or less can raise earnings significantly, concludes a forthcoming study announced at a Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment conference. Past research has found labor market payoffs only for longer-term certificates.
Di Xu and Madeline Trimble, researchers at the Community College Research Center, found "positive, significant returns" for short-term certificates earned at community colleges in Virginia and North Carolina, reports Inside Higher Ed.
North Carolina students earned $1,172 more per year, on average, and were 7 percent more likely to be employed. Virginians who earned a certificate earned $888 more and were 3 percent more likely to be working.
The value of certificates varies, depending on the field, said Trimble. Earning a basic law enforcement certificate at a North Carolina community college leads to a $10,000-plus raise because the certificate is "tightly tied to licensing requirements" in the state, she said.
Short-term certificates in nursing or medical assisting failed to yield almost any labor-market returns, the research found, while longer-term certificates in those fields did well. And short-term certificates in some health-care disciplines, such as in phlebotomy in North Carolina or dental assisting in Virginia, did result in substantial wage gains.
At Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), certificates are stackable, said Bob Templin, NOVA's president. Credits will count toward higher-level certificates and degrees.
Students who earn a 12-week certificate in an automotive technology field, such as one for an emissions specialist, are employed and earning $39,000 a year 18 months later, said Templin. But there's little pay bump for people who earn emergency medical certificates because most students use them to become volunteer first responders for fire departments.
Associate degrees in liberal arts, humanities or general education don't raise earnings, concludes a study by the Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment. These degrees pay off only if they're the first step to a bachelor's degree.
College is the new high school
A college degree is becoming the new high school diploma, the minimum credential required to get even the most basic, entry-level job, writes Catherine Rampell in the New York Times. It takes a BA to get a job as a file clerk.
"Upcredentialing," also known as "degree inflation," is affecting a wide range of jobs in administration, sales and other fields, reports Burning Glass, a labor market analytics company. For example, just 25 percent of insurance clerks have a four-year degree, but "twice that percentage of insurance-clerk job ads require one," reports Rampell. " Among executive secretaries and executive assistants, 19 percent of job-holders have degrees, but 65 percent of job postings mandate them."
Employers prefer college graduates even for jobs that don't require advanced skills, reports Burning Glass. A third of 25- to 29-year-olds have a four-year degree, notes Rampell. "Bachelor's degrees are probably seen less as a gold star for those who have them than as a red flag for those who don't. If you couldn't be bothered to get a degree in this day and age, you must be lazy, unreliable or dumb."
"Employers are clearly skeptical that an associate degree really meets their needs," says Burning Glass CEO Matt Sigelman.
However, "jobs resist credential inflation when there are good alternatives for identifying skill proficiency," the company reports. Health care jobs, such as nursing and respiratory therapy, and engineering technician jobs "are governed by strict licensing or certification standards, well-developed training programs, or by measurable skill standards such that employers do not need to look at a college degree as a proxy for capability."
Texas could expand 4-year degree options
More Texas community colleges could be allowed to offer four-year degrees starting in 2015, reports the Texas Tribune.
South Texas College, Midland College and Brazosport College have been granting bachelor's degrees since 2003, but other colleges have been denied.
Opening the door for new bachelor's degrees in nursing and applied sciences at community colleges is listed as a priority recommendation for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
In early August, Raymund Paredes, the state's higher education commissioner, who had expressed skepticism about such programs in the past, notified legislators that he planned to recommend that such offerings be allowed at more institutions.
"I made my recommendation on the basis of trying to create another pathway for poor, nontraditional students in Texas to achieve a baccalaureate degree," he said.
A recent RAND study concluded that allowing more community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees could help meet workforce needs.
"Interested community colleges will have to demonstrate a work force need for their desired degree program, as well as show that the program was not duplicating any others in the region and that the possibility of collaborating with local universities had been exhausted, among other criteria," reports the Tribune.
California OKs 4-year degrees at 2-year colleges
As early as next year, some California community colleges will start offering four-year degrees if the governor signs a bill that cleared the state Legislature Thursday.
Colleges will be allowed to offer one bachelor's degree program per campus, if the degree isn't available at a nearby state university, reports the San Jose Mercury News.
Proponents of SB 850 — introduced by state Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego — argued that bachelor's degrees in technical fields are in great demand and noted that 21 other states allow their community colleges to offer such programs.
"In today's economy, many businesses require their employees to possess a four-year degree or higher skill sets than are offered through associate degree programs, even in fields such as dental hygiene or automotive technology where a two-year degree would have been sufficient in the past," Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris said in a news release. "I applaud the Legislature for addressing California's urgent workforce needs."
Illinois: CCs hope to add 4-year degrees
Illinois community college leaders tried to add four-year degrees eight years ago, reports The Southern. Now they're trying again, arguing that offering four-year degrees at two-year colleges will enhance access and affordability.
Robert L. Breuder, president of College of DuPage, is leading the campaign.
"We spend time, money and effort recruiting and retaining students and then we ignore how they can best contribute to their local community's economy and quality of life," Breuder wrote in a March 26 letter published by the Chicago Tribune.
"We shouldn't lose them because we couldn't offer the baccalaureate degree in a field that no public university cares to offer despite a documented need within the districts the community colleges serve."
Nursing, construction management, electronics and healthcare administration would be possibilities at John A. Logan College, says President Mike Dreith said. But he doesn't want to endanger the college's "extremely sensitive" relationship with nearby Southern Illinois University, which strongly opposed a baccalaureate option at community colleges eight years ago.
It's time to let community colleges offer four-year degrees in technical fields, writes Jim Nowlan, a retired senior fellow with the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs, in the News-Gazette.
A full-time community college student pays about $3,500 a year in tuition and usually lives at home, he notes. A state university student pays $10,000 to $14,000 — before room and board fees.
College of DuPage enrolls 28,000 students — more than any campus in the state other than the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students take courses in 90 certificate programs and 59 associate degree occupations.
Breuder wants to take advantage of COD's strong position to offer low-cost, four-year degrees in fields like information technology, public safety management, advanced manufacturing, auto technology management and, especially, nursing.
Twenty-two states have approved four-year degrees at community colleges, writes Nowlan. Illinois should too.
This way up
STEPHANIE RABELLO, REGISTERED NURSE | Working her way from practical nurse to registered nurse to bachelor-degree nurse. Preston Mack for The Wall Street Journal
There's more than one route to the middle class, writes Tamar Jacoby in This Way Up in the Wall Street Journal. "Americans have a host of postsecondary options other than a four-year degree—associate degrees, occupational certificates, industry certifications, apprenticeships."
What they need are "easy on-ramps, goal-oriented job training and a series of ascending steps, with industry-certified credentials to guide the way."
In Orlando, Fla., there are many paths to the nursing profession, she writes.
The University of Central Florida trains only bachelor-degree nurses. You need an outstanding high-school record, there's a long waiting list, and tuition is $14,000 for in-state students—and more than three times that if you're not from Florida. Two well-equipped, award-winning community colleges—Seminole State and Valencia —offer associate-degree RN programs, where tuition is $7,500. Then there is Orlando Tech, a county-run career center, located in an old building in an industrial area near downtown, which trains licensed practical nurses for about $5,000.
RNs average $65,000 year, while LPNs start below $40,000. But there are ways to move up.
The streamlined route starts in high school: a "dual enrollment" magnet program that allows focused, able students to earn college credit and professional certifications, including as a nursing assistant. Participants who enroll within two years at Seminole or Valencia get advanced placement credit, saving as much as $1,250. And those who are really in a hurry can matriculate simultaneously at UCF, earning "concurrent" credit for advanced courses taken at community-college prices, then graduate in just three years with a UCF bachelor's degree.
For many, it's a long journey. Stephanie Rabello, 41, went from high school to a 10-month LPN program at a local career center. After nearly 20 years as a practical nurse, she enrolled in a yearlong LPN-to-RN "bridge" program at Seminole State. "Online classes and convenient clinical rotations" let her continue working while she studied, writes Jacoby. Now an RN, Rabello hopes to earn a bachelor's in nursing at UCF.
Sherry Harris, 33, who followed a similar path from LPN to RN, calls it "step-by-step" professional training—the "working-class way in." Ms. Harris is now taking the next step: an RN-to-BSN program for a bachelor of science degree in nursing.
Jacoby, president of Opportunity America, also looks at welding — which can pay as much as $100,000 a year — and franchise management.
Completion, default rates can be misleading
Commonly used college quality measures, such as graduation rates and loan defaults, are inadequate and sometimes misleading, writes Ben Miller, a senior policy analyst for the New America Foundation, on EdCentral.
Completion statistics for community colleges and other two-year-or-less institutions are especially inaccurate, he writes. It's not just that the federal data misses part-timers and transfers. Completion data also confuses success rates in short-term certificate programs with longer-term associate degrees.
. . . many certificate programs run for no more than a year. These programs thus present fewer opportunities for students to drop out. That's why colleges that predominantly grant certificates tend to have quite high completion rates and also the reason that for-profit institutions often appear to have better graduation rates than the largely associate-degree-granting community colleges.
A low completion rate is a sign of low quality, but a high completion rate may signify a quick, easy program with very little return on students' time and money.
Cohort default rates also can be misleading, especially for community colleges with very few borrowers, writes Miller.
For example, Gadsden State Community College in Alabama has a 20 percent default rate but that's based on five borrowers out of an enrollment of over 8,967. This makes it impossible to draw any conclusions about a college based upon less than 0.05 percent of the college.
On the other side, a low cohort default rate might be just as much an indication of successful loan management than success. The cohort default rate only measures whether students default within a certain time window. Students who default after that period or who are extremely delinquent but never default are not counted in the rate. The usage of income-based payment plans can also distort cohort default rates, since a borrower could be earning such a low income from their program that they have to make little to no payments, making it more difficult to default.
Passage rates on licensure or certification exams, such as in nursing, do measure learning outcomes. However some programs — especially in teaching — ensure a 100 percent pass rate by denying diplomas to students who haven't passed the exam.
It pays to earn a 2-year degree
Earning an associate or bachelor's degree paid off for students who enrolled in North Carolina community colleges in 2002-03, concludes a working paper from the Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment (CAPSEE). The economic returns for health-care credentials such as nursing were "extremely high."
However, certificates did not produce strong economic benefits.
The recession did not erode the "substantial and consistent" gains from earning a two-year degree, the report found. "Even accumulating some college credits (but no degree) led to higher earnings for students."
Students who earned degrees in nursing, allied health fields, construction, mechanics and welding improved their earning significantly, reports Community College Daily. However, there were no economic returns for women who earned education or child care degrees; men in those fields actually did worse.
The CAPSEE review tracked incomes five years after initial enrollment for students enrolling between 2001 and 2008 and completing an associate degree. It found that the advantage conferred by a degree remained consistent — about $4,800 per year for women and $3,000 per year for men — despite the recession starting in late 2007.
Graduates were less likely to be unemployed, according to CAPSEE.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/3/12
Carl Nicks sees no reason the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shouldn't be able to light up the scoreboard this season. The All-Pro guard was acquired in free agency to bolster an offensive line that figures to be one of the team's strongest assets, and he expects the unit to set the tone for quarterback Josh Freeman to re-establish himself as a rising young star. The 6-foot-5, 343-pound Nicks spent the past four seasons as part of one of the NFL's most prolific offenses in New Orleans. The Bucs had one of the league's worst rushing attacks a year ago, when Freeman also took a step back in his ascension as a passer. The arrival of Nicks could make Tampa Bay better on the ground, as well as through the air.
