The Young America Football League president and his wife have been arrested for manufacturing and distributing child porn.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office arrested Fredrick Gonzales, 42, and his wife Carey Gonzales, 36, Friday.
The two are accused of manufacturing and distributing child porn. The arrests are the result of a four-month long investigation.
Fredrick Gonzales is the current elected YAFL President for the Albuquerque District and his wife Carey works as an educational assistant at Montezuma Elementary School.
A search of the Gonzales residence produced several computers and digital media that contained pornographic child images. And during interviews, both Frederick and Carey admitted to viewing the images.
The digital evidence will be sent to the Regional Computer Forensics Lab for processing.
The victims in the images have not been identified.
Albuquerque Public Schools said it learned late Friday of Carey Gonzales's arrest. School district officials said she has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
School officials said as soon as the district learns more, information will be passed along to parents and the school community.

Reacting to a failure to reach agreement with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, Canadian National has announced it will unilaterally increase wage rates and apply a change to the mileage caps for the company's locomotive engineers the union represents in Canada on CN. CN said its response comes after its collective bargaining with TCRC ended Nov. 20 without a settlement. The contract changes are to take effect beginning early Saturday morning, November 28. TCRC's current labor agreement with CN expired Dec. 31, 2008.
CN says it had informed the union last weekend of its intention to increase the engineers' wages by 1.5% and implement only one work rule change. At present, TCRC-represented conductors have a 4,300-mileage cap limitation, and TCRC-represented engineers have a 3,800-mile cap. With the work rule change, both groups of employees working in the locomotive cab will be working under one consistent rule, and the engineers will see an overall increase in their compensation. On average, CN says, its locomotive engineers presently work between 15 and 17 days per month.
CN says it has made several different offers to resolve these collective agreements, but claims all have been rejected by the TCRC. "CN also offered to refer the matters in dispute to binding arbitration, but the TCRC rejected this option as well," the Class I railroad said in a statement. Under terms of the Canada Labour Code, the TCRC and CN are entitled to engage in a strike or lockout upon 72 hours' notice to the other party.
Germany's Rhein Main Services (RMS) has selected Cubic technology for the country's first large-scale electronic ticketing system. The system will serve a region with a population of more that five million where an estimated 650 million journeys are taken annually on public transport.
RMV ordered the system on behalf of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV). The RMV and its partners operate trains serving 600 stations, along with 3,300 buses.
The work will be performed through Cubic Deutschland, part of the transportation segment of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. a global provider of fare collection systems and ticketing services.
Steve Shewmaker, president of Cubic Transportation Systems worldwide, said: "While this contract is our largest in Germany, we also have contracts with RMV and other German cities to extend the use of mobile phones for electronic ticketing. We expect to merge these efforts in the future and provide Germany with some of the most modern and efficient electronic ticketing in the world."
The Federal Railroad Administration has refused to issue an emergency order banning the use of one-person crews in conventional and remote control yard switching operations, but it pledged to monitor them "very closely." The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers-Teamsters and the United Transportation Union filed a petition in June seeking the prohibition.
"Because of the advances in technology, we are seeing significant changes in operations–many that never existed before. FRA will continue to look very closely at these changes," the agency said ina letter to the two unions.
FRA said it has"no factual evidence" to support a ban on one-person crew operations. "Switchmen, trainmen, and RCOs routinely perform tasks alone, even when on a two-person or three-person crew," noted the agency.
FRA acknowledged that "since these particular one-person operations are new, we have no prior data with which to compare conventional operations and have little prior experience with these operations. Accordingly, we intend to monitor these operations very closely. While there may be operations where a one-person crew can function safely, there may be other operations that are unsuitable for such operations."
"As technology advances," said the letter, "FRA is also aware that the transfer of certain additional tasks and responsibilities to a single individual may result in 'information overload' and/or diminished 'situational awareness.' We believe these conditions should be considered when changing work assignments or adding new technology. Inthis vein, FRA recommends that safety impact studies be conducted prior to implementing such changes.
"FRA understands that fatigue may play a role in human-factor caused accidents. As the duty tour unfolds, employees tire and may become less coherent. As a consequence, FRA has encouraged the development of fatigue mitigation programs."
UTU International President Mike Futhey said the fight against one-person crews "will remain the UTU's top priority–before the FRA and before Congress. We know, and the BLET agrees, having stated jointly with us in the petition for the emergency order, that no conditions exist where one-person operations are safe."
Canadian Pacific is readying a pilot test of Positive Train Control on its right-of-way linking Calgary and Red Deer, in Alberta, next year to test its efficiency in reducing human error as a potential cause of accidents. CP is preparing to comply with a mandate passedby the U.S. Congress in late 2008 requiring PTC across most of the U.S. rail freight network, prompted by the collision of a freight train and passenger train in Chatsworth, Calif., on Sept, 12, 2008, which killed 25.
"Human factor causes for accidents is a very small number, industry-wide," said Chris Carroll, CP director of operations, positive train control. "But they are also the accidents that can have grave consequences ... We are doing a pilot project of the technology thatwill be used in the U.S." CP's U.S. subsidiaries include Soo Line Railroad and the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad.
CP recently completed a GPS survey of the Calgary to Red Deer track last week. "We will develop a database over the nextmonth," said Carroll. "We are spending quite some time in the lab. We will put this technology into work next summer and test trains."
Dallas Area Rapid Transit's continued, aggressive expansion of light rail transit has been recognized as one of the year's Top 100 Global Infrastructure Projects, compiled by the Washington, D.C., consulting firm CG/LA Infrastructure LLC.
Projects included on the 2009 list were chosen for their vision and the competitive boost they add to the communities they serve. DART's activities were cited by the firm for its commitment to continued growth in the face of economic recession, marked in 2009 by the opening of the first sectionof the Green Line during September. DART says it is on schedule to nearly double its light rail network to 90 miles by 2013.
According to Norman F. Anderson, president and CEO of CG/LAInfrastructure, "The aim of the Global Forum is to fix a spotlight on the most important infrastructure projects in the world--and to give the men andwomen who lead those projects an opportunity to build long-term assets criticalto their country's future, at world-class levels of quality and velocity."
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey announced that PATH ridership declined 4% during the first nine months of 2009. Ridership went from 56.4 million in January-September 2008 to 54.1 million during the same period in 2009.
At the Port Authority's six vehicular bistate crossings, traffic dropped 2.1%. Truck traffic declined by 10.45%, costing the Port Authority about $20 million in tolls.
At the Port Authority's major airports, traffic is down 6.4%.
Cost-cutting measures taken by the agency include a zero-growth operating budget, no staff increases, and "prioritization of long-term capital programs in the context of the new economic and fiscal realities."
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) released a study Thursday showing an improvement of around 22% between 1990 and 2006 in freight rail fuel efficiency.
"While all types of transportation are vital to the distribution of goods across the country, this study shows that utilizing America's freight rail system can lead to significant fuel savings," said FRA Administrator Joseph Szabo (pictured at left). "The environmental benefits of these positive changes over the last two decades are enormous. We look forward to working with the freight rail industry to make sure these gains continue."
As reasons for the increase in fuel efficiency, Szabo cited improvement in diesel-electric locomotives, increased use of double stack trains, track and signal improvements, and longer trains.
The Association of American Railroads Friday commended FRA for its report. "Railroads are continuously improving fuel efficiency--through new technologies, locomotive improvements, enhanced employee training, and other initiatives," said AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger. "The environmental benefits of freight rail--such as our ability to take trucks off the road and lower greenhouse gas emissions--are made possible by our fuel efficiency."
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. said in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday that it has arranged an $8 billion loan to help pay for its acquisition of BNSF Railway. Berkshire is paying $26.3 billion, or $100 per share, for the 73% of BNSF that it does not already own. It signed the financing deal with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo on Wednesday.
Buffett has announced that Berkshire to borrow half of the $16 billion cash needed for the transaction. The loan is to be repaid over a three-year period.

I learned recently that The Salvation Army was once involved in a grand plan to convert Robert G. Ingersoll, America's Great Infidel, to Christianity. For some reason, that story never made it into the Junior Soldier curriculum. I doubt that it will make it into future editions either, since the scheme failed miserably.
Here's AmericanHeritage.com's brief account of the scheme:
The most massive attempt to convert Ingersoll came on Thanksgiving Day, 1895. Every soldier in Cleveland's Salvation Army, several hundred members of the Epworth League, and three thousand Christian Endeavorers all offered mass prayers for Ingersoll's conversion. He took their efforts in stride. "I feel pretty much as the pretty girl did towards the young man who squeezed her hand," he observed; " 'It pleased him,' she said, 'and it didn't hurt me!'"
The author of that article noted that the Thanksgiving Day prayer vigil was just one of numerous attempts to convert Ingersoll, the son of a Presbyterian minister, to Christianity. Ingersoll's response to the enterprise was recorded in the New York Journal (google "Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, volume VIII" or "Christian Endeavorers Ingersoll") :
Question. How were you affected by the announcement that the united prayers of the Salvationists and Christian Endeavorers were to be offered for your conversion?
Answer. The announcement did not affect me to any great extent. I take it for granted that the people praying for me are sincere and that they have a real interest in my welfare. Of course, I thank them one and all. At the same time I can hardly account for what they did. Certainly they would not ask God to convert me unless they thought the prayer could be answered. And if their God can convert me of course he can convert everybody. Then the question arises why he does not do it. Why does he let millions go to hell when he can convert them all? Why did he not convert them all before the flood and take them all to heaven instead of drowning them and sending them all to hell? Of course these questions can be answered by saying that God's ways are not our ways. I am greatly obliged to these people. Still, I feel about the same, so that it would be impossible to get up a striking picture of "before and after." It was good-natured on their part to pray for me, and that act alone leads me to believe that there is still hope for them. The trouble with the Christian Endeavorers is that they don't give my arguments consideration. If they did they would agree with me. It seemed curious that they would advise divine wisdom what to do, or that they would ask infinite mercy to treat me with kindness. If there be a God, of course he knows what ought to be done, and will do it without any hints from ignorant human beings. Still, the Endeavorers and the Salvation people may know more about God than I do. For all I know, this God may need a little urging. He may be powerful but a little slow; intelligent but sometimes a little drowsy, and it may do good now and then to call his attention to the facts. The prayers did not, so far as I know, do me the least injury or the least good. I was glad to see that the Christians are getting civilized. A few years ago they would have burned me. Now they pray for me.
Suppose God should answer the prayers and convert me, how would he bring the conversion about? In the first place, he would have to change my brain and give me more credulity–that is, he would be obliged to lessen my reasoning power. Then I would believe not only without evidence, but in spite of evidence. All the miracles would appear perfectly natural. It would then seem as easy to raise the dead as to waken the sleeping. In addition to this, God would so change my mind that I would hold all reason in contempt and put entire confidence in faith. I would then regard science as the enemy of human happiness, and ignorance as the soil in which virtues grow. Then I would throw away Darwin and Humboldt, and rely on the sermons of orthodox preachers. In other words, I would become a little child and amuse myself with a religious rattle and a Gabriel horn. Then I would rely on a man who has been dead for nearly two thousand years to secure me a seat in Paradise.
After conversion, it is not pretended that I will be any better so far as my actions are concerned; no more charitable, no more honest, no more generous. The great difference will be that I will believe more and think less.
After all, the converted people do not seem to be better than the sinners. I never heard of a poor wretch clad in rags, limping into a town and asking for the house of a Christian.
I think that I had better remain as I am. I had better follow the light of my reason, be true to myself, express my honest thoughts, and do the little I can for the destruction of superstition, the little I can for the development of the brain, for the increase of intellectual hospitality and the happiness of my fellow-beings. One world at a time.
–New York Journal, December 15, 1895.
Ingersoll's statement was impressive for both its clarity and profundity. I won't detract from it by attempting to comment on it.
You will not be the least bit shocked to learn that Ingersoll's death was followed by rumors similar to those that circulated shortly after Darwin's demise:
His death came in July 1899, when he was not quite sixtysix. He had been lecturing on religion just the month before, and he was working on new lectures at Walston, his son-inlaw's elegant estate at Dobbs Ferry on the Hudson. There, surrounded by a family constantly concerned with his comfort and happiness, he died suddenly of what the doctors called angina pectoris. Quickly, rumors began circulating. Ingersoll had recanted on his deathbed, went one. Another held that he had been thrown into such despair by his beliefs that he committed suicide. Although it was strenuously denied by those who were with him when he died, for some the notion was irresistible that Royal Bob, the Illustrious Infidel, dreading the hellfire, had seen the light at the end.
In addition to repeatedly failing to understand why their prayers go unanswered, some Christians have a propensity for lying about the dead people who were once the objects of their prayers. Be prepared to encounter similar stories about Christopher Hitchens, should he succumb to esophageal cancer within the next few years. We already know Christians are praying for him, and he has responded graciously: he accepts prayers for his well-being with gratitude, but doesn't expect any divine intervention in his life. I'm betting that, should cancer be the death of him, at least a few Christians will succumb to the temptation to manufacture a deathbed conversion story about him. It's the way they roll: when the prayers fail, the lies begin.

It's game time.
Michigan vs. Ohio State hysteria hit the local community again this week the same way it does every year when the two rivals battle each other on the football field.
It doesn't matter whether you're a city commissioner, a chiropractor, or even a local judge.
When the Buckeyes and the Wolverines play one another, local fans seem to temporarily lose their minds.
"It has been insane this week," said Toni Darr, manager of Woody and Bo's sports shop in Perkins Township. "We've had actually quite a few people arguing over the game and most of them argue with the workers."
Woody and Bo's sells Michigan and Ohio State apparel.
Darr, who's an Ohio State fan, said business may have tripled this week in anticipation over today's game. Even the store's fanatic staff can't help getting caught up in the hype.
"Some (customer) got very fired up when we talked about Appalachian State beating Michigan earlier this year," Darr said. "He didn't seem to appreciate me pointing out that they lost."
Buffalo Wild Wings manager Angie Krum said her restaurant is opening an hour earlier at 10 a.m. to handle the influx of Ohio State and Michigan fans.
"I've had customers say they're going to spend the night in my parking lot," she said.
Huron Municipal Judge Bill Steuk won't be one of them.
He and his family of four will spend their Saturday in Ann Arbor's Big House, where the judge has spent every Saturday in the fall since the birth of his first son, Will, nine years ago.
"It's kind of fun this time of year to trade barbs back and forth with my Ohio State friends," Steuk said. "I'm just hoping for a Michigan win."
Sandusky Commissioner Brett Fuqua is spending the weekend vacationing in New York with his wife, Mary.
But that won't stop the Buckeye fanatics from watching the big game from the ESPN Zone restaurant in Manhattan's Times Square.
Fuqua says Sandusky's connections with both universities makes the rivalry that more intense for the local community.
"Earl Bruce coached at Sandusky High School and Ohio State has a lot of athletes from Sandusky," he said. "I think it just carries over."
Vegas oddsmakers favor Ohio State to beat Michigan by four points.
Ohio State is ranked seventh this week in college football's Bowl Championship Series rankings while Michigan is ranked 21st.
Both teams seek to rebound from upset losses last week when the Buckeyes were defeated by Illinois and the Wolverines fell to Wisconsin.
The winner of today's game will capture the Big Ten Championship and an appearance in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
"Michigan vs. Ohio State, it's not just another ball game," Darr said. "It's a holiday of the year."

As the debate over immigration reform has brought the management of the U.S.-Mexico border back into the spotlight, this report provides a comprehensive look at the state of affairs in the management of the U.S.-Mexico border and the border region, focusing on four core areas: trade and competitiveness, security, sustainability, and quality of life.

Federal Bill
Would Allow Access to Cheaper Canadian Pesticides
Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT), a prime sponsor of the legislation in the House told the Great Falls Tribune (Montana), "It's time to level the playing field for U.S. producers forced to pay a premium while trying to compete with their Canadian counterparts, who get to use cheaper, often identical pesticides."
The Tribune put it this way when it discussed the economics of pesticide-intensive farming.
"Pesticides comprise one of the largest costs for many Montana farmers, who typically pay about $10 to $20 per acre each year, according to Herb Karst, president of the Montana Grain Growers Association. With an average farm about 2,000 acres, the total can add up to around $40,000. Jon Stoner, a farmer from Havre, said he spends $60,000 to $100,000 a year for pesticides, although some of his supplemental crops require heavier treatment. Using cheaper products from Canada could cut costs up to 25 percent, Karst said. That could mean up to $10 million in savings for Montana wheat farmers, according to Rehberg's office.
"This is a matter of economics for our farmers, who are currently being overcharged in the U.S. because of existing regulations," Rehberg said. "Canada already has its own stringent pesticide safety laws that are similar to ours. Their products should be available to our farmers who need the savings if they are to continue competing with Canadian producers."
Karst said prices should be set according to product performance and competition instead of a label. "Montana farmers have long been concerned about the differing input costs between the United States and Canada particularly brought upon by currency value fluctuations," Karst said. "This bill would help to equalize those differences."
Environmentalists have long believed that the price of pesticides do not reflect the real costs of using them because of the secondary adverse effects or costs associated with their use, including contamination of air, land, water and food, as well as human and animal poisoning. Environmentalists feel that this issue should be the center of any debate on the cost of pesticides in the marketplace. While neither current law, nor this legislation, takes these costs into account, there is a concern that language such as "substantially similar" could open the door to not only new active ingredients, but new inert ingredients, contaminants, and metabolites that are not fully evaluated.

Dwight Gayle fired Peterborough ahead in the 15th minute but they remain in the Championship bottom three after Sam Byram levelled for Leeds in the 57th minute.
Gayle almost won his side a penalty in the 86th minute when he was fouled by Paul Green on the edge of the area and Ferguson was left to curse spurned chances.
"It's not a good point," he said. "It's really disappointing that we dropped two points.
"It was a great opportunity to get three points and out of the last three draws I would say tonight was the biggest opportunity.
"But unfortunately we only take a point. We had seven or eight chances to get the second goal and we've not taken them."
Ferguson will be meeting with referees' boss David Allison over a series of decisions during the season and was angered when Stephen Warnock escaped a red card for bringing down Kane Ferdinand on the edge of the box.
"I've just seen the referee and to be fair he said he'd watch it again," said Ferguson.
"You've got to be denying a goalscoring opportunity and if that's not a goalscoring opportunity I don't know what is.
"But to be fair to the ref he said he'd phone me and apologise.
"That might stop us going down and it might not stop us staying up, but at least he's done that.
"If it happened at the other end the referee would not have got out of here alive if he hadn't given a red card."

Dear Awfully Chocolate,
I think I am in love. Having tried your one-and-only dark chocolate ice cream, I have to admit you are irresistible. Every spoonful reminds me of how a good ice cream should be like. Bitter sweet, and rich and chocolatey, you are every man's dream.
It's a pity that there's no other chocolate flavors, but then again, this is precisely what makes it so special. Is this the best dark chocolate ice cream in Singapore? I have no idea, but I know it's definitely a timeless favorite.
Give me ice cream, and I will smile for you.
I get over things easily, and sweet stuff always helps. Want to get into my good books? Get me a dessert – I can be easily bribed with a cake or ice cream.
The unique Awfully chocolate outlets never fails to catch my attention whenever I walk past it. Simple yet elegant, the all-white design is totally unlike the other cake shops in Singapore. After trying the dark chocolate ice cream, I'm wondering how the famous dark chocolate fudge cake will taste like. Promise me you will appear in my dreams tonight.

Women's Resources
Women have been an important part of MIT since the first woman, Ellen Swallow Richards, graduated in 1873. In her first year here, MIT's first woman President, Susan Hockfield, said, "One of MIT's central values is its commitment to being a true meritocracy, where success is measured by talent and accomplishment alone. This commitment is reflected in the growth of women faculty and students at MIT over the past couple of decades." Woman now make up over 45% of the student body, and it is a student body filled with intelligent, talented women leaders.
Women@MIT serves as a central location of information and resources for women students at MIT. It functions to make students aware of the network of offices, departments, and organizations that exist to support and empower women students at MIT.

Andrew Becker, Web Edition Editor
Story by: Courtney Roszak
As of Jan. 10, Senior Class President Dakota Gamez chose to vacate his position of class president, stated Class Officers' Adviser /Associate Principal, Jason Ledermann.
This is the first time any senior class president has left the position in Ledermanns' 12 years at South High.
Fellow senior John Raff stepped up from his position of vice president to president for the remainder of this school year.
At the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, seniors Gamez and Stuart Schmidt ran against each other in hopes of becoming senior class president. Gamez was successful in his campaign against Schmidt. Gamez could not be reached for comment after several requests.
"I was overwhelmed at first, but I know with help from Lauren Simonsmeier, Alyssa Rieger (class treasurer and secretary) and Ledermann (class officer adviser) it won't be so bad," stated Raff.
There has been a change in speaking duties due to this change in presidents.
With the presidency, Raff will be speaking at graduation on Sunday, June 9.
Usually, the vice president speaks during Baccalaureate, Saturday, June 8, the day before graduation.
Simonsmeier will present the Senior Class Baccalaureate speech usually given by the class vice president, but still will cover her senior class treasurer duties.
With one semester left the three have much ahead of them.
In the beginning of second semester, the trio got together with Ledermann to plan the remainder of the year, including the senior banquet, the class motto and song.
Some of the senior class may have had doubts about Raff being president due to his lack of experience.
With only one semester left, there is a lot of responsibility and event planning, but Ledermann assures Raff will be successful, commenting, "I think he'll do fine.He's very confident and has good leadership roles to fill the role."
With three and a half months left until graduation, Raff, Rieger and Simonsmeier have the responsibility and loads of stress on their shoulders to ensure that the senior class ends their time at South High in a positive way.
As the days dwindle down to graduation the senior class and the officers are realizing how little time they all have left together before June 9th rolls around.
"We have one semester left together, why not try to make it a good one," Raff added regarding some of feuding that had taken place earlier in the beginning of this school year.

ATHOL The Town of Thurman received international news exposure last week — and it wasn't focusing on the town's nationally-recognized broadband initiative, nor any controversy that's been sparking angry debate at recent town meetings.
The article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal Wednesday May 15 was instead about language, punctuation and the naming of a mountain dear to Thurmanites.
The article quoted four residents of Thurman, stemming from on-site interviews conducted by famed Journal Reporter Barry Newman.
Titled, "There's a Question Mark Hanging Over the Apostrophe's Future," it focused on the naming of the hill known locally as "Jimmy's Peak" — and the U.S. government's 113-year-old policy of deleting apostrophes when establishing official names for locations, natural features and municipalities.
The news story featuring Thurman has been aired on television and published in print media from San Jose to Canada and throughout Europe. As of Wednesday evening, the article describing the Thurman apostrophe affair was mentioned on no less than 207,000 web pages.
Newman has traveled all over the world to report on quirky situations that have broad intellectual appeal, and Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said Sunday May 19 she was happy Newman visited Thurman and focused on Jimmy's Peak rather than Pike's Peak in Colorado or another destination with an apostrophe quagmire.
"This was something that doesn't happen every day," Wood said. "Barry called me and asked me if anyone in town would be interested in talking to him about Jimmy's Peak, and I said 'Of course they would.'"
The article notes that Wood, 35, possesses a college degree in English, and it quotes her objecting to the apostrophe being deleted, as doing so obscures the difference in a reference between plural and possessive.
"Apostrophes are an important part of our language and I like to see them used," Wood said Sunday.

Institutional Effectiveness
Glossary of Assessment Terms
The demand by constituents for school officials to demonstrate that money invested in education is being efficiently utilized. This demand is met through measured learning and outcomes assessment. (New Horizons)
A continuous process of establishing measureable expected outcomes of student learning and systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well student learning matches goals set by a program or university. (Suskie)
Alternative Assessment:
Alternatives to traditional paper and pencil testing for assessment purposes, such as open ended questions on a test, the demonstration of a skill, portfolio assessment, and instructor observation of student progress.(New Horizons)
To collect data for use in comparison to similar data studies. (University of Texas)
Closing the Loop:
To use assessment results to improve teaching and learning. (Suskie)
Commission on Colleges (COC):
The regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states that award associate, baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees. The COC accredits universities in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Latin America. (SACS)
Continuous Improvement:
Most accrediting bodies require institutional commitment to the concept of quality enhancement through continuous assessment and improvement. The assessment process is considered cyclic. (SACS)
Core Requirements:
Basic, broad-based, foundational requirements that an institution must meet to be accredited with the Commission on Colleges. (SACS)
Course Mapping:
A tool for course design that helps instructors align the goals and objectives of a course with outcome expectations in accreditation. (Georgia Southern)
Course Level Assessment:
Often based on grades resulting from completed course assignments, but also includes reflection on how well the class as a whole achieves the stated outcomes. (Suskie)
Standards by which student performance is evaluated; help assessors maintain objectivity and inform students about expectations. (New Horizons)
Curriculum Map:
A table that compares key learning goals and course requirements that is used to assess the breadth of learning goals throughout a program's curriculum. (Suskie)
Embedded Assessment:
A means of gathering information about student learning that has been built into a course's curriculum. Can assess an individual student's performance or the performance of the whole class. (Leskes)
A systematic and organized collection of a student's work that exhibits to others the direct evidence of a student's efforts, achievements, and progress over a period of time. The collection should involve the student in selection of its contents, and include assessment or grading information for the projects included in the portfolio. Portfolios are electronic and can be accessed online by the student, school officials, and others who have been granted permission, such as potential employers. (New Horizons)
Formative Assessment:
The repetitive gathering of information about student learning throughout a course or program with the purpose of improving student learning from the beginning to the end of the course or program in real-time. (Leskes)
The general aims or purposes of a program and its curriculum. Goals should be broadly stated, meaningful, achievable and assessable. (California Polytechnic)
Mission Statement:
The statement of philosophy and purpose for an organization. The mission answers the question: Why do we exist? (Austin and Pinkleton)
Program Level Assessment:
Goals and assessments are broader than those of individual courses but are comprised or built by the courses in which the program encompasses. (Suskie)
The Quality Enhancement Plan is based upon an analysis of the effectiveness of the learning environment for supporting student learning and accomplishing the mission of the institution through engagement of the academic community. (SACS)
Qualitative Assessment:
Comprised of collected data that is not easily quantified mathematically, but rather is subjective in nature and relies on interpretive criteria. (Leskes)
Quantitative Assessment:
Comprised of collected data that can be analyzed using objective, mathematical methods. (Leskes)
The consistency of a measure, instrument, or observer. A study will have high re-test reliability if it yields similar results when given at least two separate times to the same sample. (University of Texas)
A table or grid used in assessment evaluation by comparing actual performance to expected performance standards. (University of Texas)
Requirements of competency from an accrediting body. Standards set a level of accomplishment that students are expected to meet or exceed. Meeting assessment standards does not imply standardization of programs, rather that students were able to learn certain required skill sets through multiple pathways in a program before graduation. (Leskes)
Student Learning Goal:
Goals stated in terms of what students will understand and what they will be able to do as a result of lessons in a course. (Cerbin and Kopp)
Student Learning Outcome:
Criteria for determining whether overall program goals are being successfully met and whether students are learning a program's curriculum to a satisfactory level. (California Polytechnic)
Summative Assessment:
The gathering of information at the conclusion of a course or program to improve learning or to meet accountability demands. The results are applied to the next cohort in the course or program. (Leskes)
(a.k.a. multiple measures) Using multiple research methods to gather information or multiple sources of information on a topic usually with the intent of improving reliability and/or validity. (University of Texas)
The degree to which the theory and information gathered support the interpretations of a measure or an instrument. (University of Texas)
Vision Statement:
Articulates the organization's values and intended contribution to society and shares how the organization should look in the future by presenting the ideal, or an ambitious, long term goal. (Austin and Pinkleton)

Win £500 holiday voucher in Boston College Beach Ball competition
Posted: June 16, 2012|
THE famous Boston College Beach Ball Competition is returning once again for Summer 2012 giving you the chance to win a £500 holiday voucher!
The college has launched the competition in association with Boston's Departure Lounge Travel Agents and the Boston Target as part of its 'Experience College' campaign.
The Beach Ball Competition is a great way to have fun and be creative whilst having the chance to win an amazing prize.
For your chance to win £500 for a holiday with the family, or a trip to that place you have always wanted to go, just pick up a beach ball from our various 'beach ball pick up points': Boston College's main campus on Skirbeck Road; Boston Learning Centre in Market Place; the Boston Target office or The Departure Lounge.
This year's judges, college principal Amanda Mosek, Departure Lounge director Debby King and Graeme Holmes from the Boston Target, are looking for beach balls that either find themselves a long way from home, doing something unusual, or in an interesting location.
Be creative when your out and about this summer and send us your beach ball photographs and you never know, you could be the lucky winner!
The Target will print the best of the bunch on a regular basis throughout the summer and the final winner will be announced in September, giving you plenty of time to take your beach ball somewhere fun.
Amanda Pickwell from Boston was the last lucky winner, after her photograph of son Charlie and his beach ball munching dinosaur friend was picked by our judges.
She was delighted with her holiday voucher and shared it with her family who enjoyed a luxury holiday to Cyprus and a trip to Legoland for photograph star Charlie.
Beach balls will also be given out at college events including Lincolnshire Show, Heckington Show, Spalding Food Festival and all their open events and enrolment days throughout the summer so take the opportunity to pick up your free beach ball, take it far and wide and have some beach ball fun!
Email your beach ball photograph, name(s), address and telephone number to firstname.lastname@example.com or post your beach ball photograph along with your name(s), address and telephone number to Beachball Competition 2012, Boston College, Skirbeck Road, Boston, PE21 6JF.

Many fiscal problems face our nation.
For example:Could you explain how a larger U.S. government work force will help our economy?
Not having an academic degree in finance, my understanding is that public employee salaries and benefits are generally better than the private sector. These are paid-in full-by taxpayers, meaning higher taxes.
Here's a suggestion to cut costs and relive the burden on taxpayers:How about a simple 5 percent reduction of the government work force(don't replace the retiring workers).
The issue of entitlement is also a hot topic.
Any references to Social Security should not be included because those collecting S.S. funds paid into it the program for years. It is something like the T.V. commercial: "It's my money and I want it now!"
On matters financial, there's never a mention of the cost of public assistance or anything about the high cost of illegal immigration. Meanwhile, Social Security is going broke so legislators want to raise the age to collect.
The way to fix some of these vexing problems is to have the legislators receive the same benefits that the rest of us receive.
Legislators are receiving better benefits, and they work less than the average private-sector worker.
The job of a Washington politician should be a maximum of 12 years (two terms in the U.S. Senate or six in the U.S. House or a combination thereof). Next step is to release these folks into the real world of laws and regulations they helped create-let them live in it, like the rest of us.
Another problem: after one year on the job, legislators get paid for life. Where can I sign up? (Is it true that the children of legislators do not have to pay back their student loans?)
Now what about the cry we hear to tax-the-rich even more?
