Re: Online Degree
Just be careful, those quick degree online programs won't get you nearly as far in the military or in civilian life as a non-online only school. If a 4 year institution like UT offers online degrees it's just as good as going to class. But, online only, for profit schools (ex. University of Phoenix) are not viewed the same.
There was just an article put out about this. I'll try to find it.

Re: Online Degree
Do not use any University unless they are regionally accredited. The national accreditation is bull and will not transfer to any school. However Post University is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The list includes some good schools. Good Luck!!!
Re: Online Degree
I stand by what I said and good luck with a degree from there.

Re: Online Degree
The article I posted has good info it. Make sure you check it out.
This is nothing new. Online only schools have never been considered up to par with a 4 year institution. It will get you somewhere, yes, but you will be passed on if you and another individual are considered equal everywhere else.
I've been in the IT business for 12 years, 6 of it in a supervisor/manager posiition. We have never taken someone with an online degree when put up against someone with a 4 year degree when all other credentials are equal.
Just something to think about.Last edited by azIce; January 17th, 2010, 08:35 PM.

Re: Online Degree
University of Phoenix is not an online-only school. They have campuses located in many places and offer online courses, classroom classes, and a hybrid mix of the two.
My mom is in HR and has been in HR for many years. She has done recruiting for some large companies. The stigma against online universities and U of Phoenix "not giving quality education" has gone away for the most part. Most people in business have degrees from U of Phoenix now and understand the challenge it takes to do online coursework.
I've known several people myself who have degrees from Phoenix and have gone quite far with the civilian world, and even with their careers in the military. I was always on the band wagon with those who thing U of Phoenix is a waste, too expensive, doesn't look good to have a degree from there, etc. However, after some research and listening to what my friends & mom have said, I fully plan on completing my degree through them because they are a great option for the style of learning I like (very quick, 5-week classes) and are very inexpensive ($250/cr for military).
Re: Online Degree
Maybe I should have told him that the difference is a degree that will get you by vs. a degree that will help you.....
I have been a Corporate Recruiter for years and have received the same reaction from companies (Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop). We are not to even send a resume with an online school unless the position does not require a degree.
Please do not even try to challenge the fact that I'm an NCO. This is a discussion and not something you should take personally. You are trying to compare the few to the many.
Regardless..... I'm out of this discussion.Last edited by leeyo32; January 18th, 2010, 02:13 AM.
Re: Online Degree
First off nobody here is answering my questions. This is not a debate about what's the best. Thanks for all the warning info, but don't be too quick to judge a school. I've done quite a bit of research on this program and it seems legit. Here are some quick facts about the particular school in question.
Post University:
- http://www.post.edu/online/index.shtml here's the link check it out.
- Non-profit
- Accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC); Licensed by the State of Connecticut, through the Department of Higher Education (DHE).
- It is a traditional college that offers an online degree program.
- The online degree curriculum is the EXACT same as they use in the classroom.
- According to the Online Education Database (OEDb), a national resource for online degree programs, Post University is ranked 18th among online education providers: capturing the top rankings in many of the criteria used to rank each university, including a top 10 ranking for students who received financial aid.
- You will receive an official, traditional diploma from Post University. Both your diploma and university transcript will be exactly the same kind as those of students who earn their degrees on campus.
- With the Post University Military program, you can earn your degree while you serve. Whether you are stationed state-side, overseas, or deployed to an FOB, as long as you have Internet access you can earn your degree.

Re: Online Degree
Originally posted by KeyTNo offense, but your company is missing out on great talent if going to a 'regular' college will always beat out someone from an online school.
So if you had an two applicants who where Army Guardsmens and set up a network for their commands in Iraq, set up large networks in the civilian world and one had an online degree and the other had a 'regular' one you would hire the 'regular' degree guy just because he had a 'regular' degree? Isn't IT one of those fields where all the stuff you learned in college obsolete only a few years later?
Sounds like a company with a bright future...
As far as a company with a bright a future. It's not one company, it's every company I have been with in my career. Most of which have been fortune 500 companies. The only companies where online degrees were even considered were small companies. The bigger companies didn't even give them an interview.
There are always exceptions. There are people without degrees who get jobs and do well. So, to say that an online school won't help wouldn't be true and isn't the point. The point is to be careful and don't be surprised when it doesn't carry as much weight. If you are happy to just get started and get your foot in the door, it may work, but do not plan on ever making it to executive managment with an online degree. That is of course in 99% of most traditional companies. Once again, there are always exceptions.
IT does change quickly. After a person has their degree it is mainly dependent upon experience. You will see a lot of IT jobs listed as BA/BS or equivelent experience. But that is entry level to mid-senior positions. Not management. Once agaiin, if there is an indivudual with no degree and your experience is equal to another with an online degree and another with a 4 year degree. 99% of the time the 4 degree holder wins out. Fact of the corporate world. You can fight it all you want and disagree with it all you want, but that doesn't change how business works..... 99% of the time.
Also, this isn't a knock against a 4 year institution, brick and mortar school, who offers an online degree like Penn State. You take the same amount of courses for the same amount of hours. Those are equal. It's the get a BA/BS in 1.5 years with 2 week courses and the such that is what I've been talking about.Last edited by azIce; January 18th, 2010, 11:51 AM.
Re: Online Degree
Originally posted by KeyTI thought the classes where very hard but worth it. I hate when people knock online schools. What most people forget is that many 'regular' schools are now online. My wife just finished her BA from Penn State, and she did most of it online (they didn't have an online program until her 2nd year.)
Re: Online Degree
The department I teach in is now beginning an online degree in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing. I can tell you we have taken an incredible amount of time creating a program that will give a good, if not better education than our on camus programs. I will completely agree that it may cause people to miss out of the "college" experience, which is a disadvantage. Everyone should experience having to sprint through campus for an exam in five minutes in your pajamas after drinking for 18 hours straight on St. Patty's Day, but, if you are past that silliness in your life, and are mature enough to take the online courses seriouly, (aka: not have your best friend with a degree in the topic area take the exams for you....or not sitting in front of the book rifling for answers while taking a quiz) then these programs can be perfect for you. Let's face it, it is much easier to log into a virtual classroom in the comfort of your own home than to get off your bum and head into campus, go to the library, time between classes, group work, and the dreaded PARKING...just getting up and at em can help you with discipline. It is hard to face that this is the way that education is going for me, but when developed correctly, it can be successful for the student.
KeyT is right. Many prominent universities are offering online degree programs in a diverse amount of topics. One of my close friends is getting a MBA from Notre Dame and we had it out over this exact same topic a few months ago. Yet, Leeyo32 and azIce are correct as well. Many recruiters still frown upon online degrees because oncampus degrees do provide something that online degrees can't. This paradigm will merge at some point in time, sooner than later, and each degree will be worth the same. But until then, if you are getting an online degree, be prepared to automatically placed behind classic institution education. My suggestion, make a kick *** resume/cv that highlights your service, volunteer work, relevant papers and projects, honors, etc, and you will be put right back on top again!
I do have to say I think that the major/minor you are studying makes a big difference in success online. Anything technical or "non-mushy" field of study will be much easier to study online. Accounting/mathematics/computer tech will be the way to go.
What is your major kswat07? Just curious as to why you would chose Post? It seems like (at least from their web page) they cater specifically to mlitary personel? What state are you in?

Originally posted by azIceIt's the get a BA/BS in 1.5 years with 2 week courses and the such that is what I've been talking about.
I know several Universities that offer Adult education programs where classes are 5 or 8 weeks long, designed for working professionals to get their degrees done faster. Regis University in Denver; St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA; Fontbonne University in St. Louis, etc. Many schools are now offering accelerated courses for adult professionals to make it easier for them to obtain their degrees instead of wasting time in a classroom for 16-weeks with a bunch of punk young kids.
Just because the program is offered online doesn't mean it is any less of an educational institution. Online schooling takes a lot more discipline than does a regular classroom course. I speak this from experience. I have been a college student in literally every format that is offered out there. Online schooling is the hardest because you have to force yourself to do the work, you don't have attendance to be held accountable for, and it is very easy to forget you have an assignment due when you don't actually have someone to report to weekly in a "brick and mortar" setting.
If someone REALLY wants to climb to the top of the corporate ladder, they probably will make sure they go to a very highly valued institution, spending all those hours on entrance exams, lengthy papers, and tests to show they have a degree from that highly valued institution (but did they really learn anything?). If someone wants a degree to have more advanced knowledge and to expand their knowledge with a degree, but doesn't care what the name says at the top (within reason), then what is the problem?
Someone earlier mentioned experience. Is a degree even worth anything without experience, no matter where the degree is from? The only reason I am even pursuing a degree is because society practically mandates you to have one in order to get anywhere in this world. Am I going to rely on the degree alone to get me anywhere? Absolutely not, and you are a fool if you think it will. I've been working on my Bachelors degree for 6.5 years now because I have been focusing on getting real-world experience instead of putting all my eggs into the degree basket.

Game Balls: Two In A Row
Daniel Marcus
The Jets went into Jacksonville yesterday and made a bad team look like – well – a bad team and won consecutive games for the first time this season. Embattled quarterback, Mark Sanchez, was asked by the coaching staff simply not to screw it up as the running game and defense carried the team to victory. In addition, let me preface this by saying that I have no delusions of grandeur but the Jets did receive a great deal of help from the AFC North yesterday in keeping their once-remote playoff chances alive. That said, let's save the scoreboard watching for the next three weeks and get right to this victory Monday tradition:
Muhammad Wilkerson:
"Beast Mo" as some of my fellow TJB writers affectionately refer to him, is living up to that nickname and continues to play like a man possessed. Wilkerson has just been dominating at the point of attack, making opposing offensive linemen look as though they are on roller skates. The stats don't tell the whole story with "Big Mo" because although his final stat line read: three tackles, three QB hits, and one sack, he could have easily had a couple more sacks. I could not be more impressed with Wilkerson this season and just hope that his presence continues to rub off on his old buddy Quinton Coples.
Quinton Coples:
The aforementioned Coples had one of his better games as a Jet yesterday as the coaching staff finally put him in better pass-rushing situations, using him on stunts with Wilkerson as opposed to simply bull-rushing and occupying blocks. "Q" finished with two tackles, two QB hits, and his third sack of the year and made many Jets fans wonder what the pass-rushing tandem of Coples and Wilkerson will do in games, weeks, and seasons to come.
David Harris:
This may have been the first "Game Ball-Worthy" performance the "Hit Man" has registered but he was all over the field yesterday, racking up 10 tackles, a pass defensed and two bone-crushing QB hits including a sack. Inside Linebacker in a 3-4 is one of the less glamorous positions, leading many to wonder why Harris is paid so much relative to his on-field contributions but look no further than yesterday's game to see why he was pegged as being one of the core members of this team.
Antonio Cromartie:
Since the one they call "Revis Christ" went down with a devastating injury in week 3, Cromartie has been nothing short of fantastic and has proved that he is a dominant, shut-down corner in his own right. Cro was no more spectacular against the Jags than he has been since stepping in for Revis but I felt the need to give him a game ball in recognition of how outstanding he has played and for his contributions in all three phases of the game. I'm still waiting for him to hit a home run on offense in the "Cro Package" but in the interim here's a Game Ball.
Shonn Greene/Bilal Powell:
For the second straight week, the Jets two-headed running attack will have to share a Game Ball the way they share carries as both were almost equally effective. Greene had another characteristic performance, trudging through with his head down en route to picking up some hard-earned yards, racking up 77 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown. "Boom Powell" as I will be calling from now on, has been running with a full head of steam the past few weeks and yesterday was no different as he totaled 78 yards on 19 carries, good enough for a 4.1 YPC average. It seems as though Powell is the more explosive runner of the two and when he's in those drives tend to be more fruitful. Regardless, it was nice to see a real commitment to running the ball.
Brandon Moore and the Offensive Line:
Brandon Moore gets lead billing on this Game Ball because he is habitually the most over-looked and under-appreciated member of this unit and he reportedly lit a fire under the entire offense in the locker room after an abysmal first half. The line came out in the second half and as Nick Mangold would say "kept swinging that ax" until the proverbial tree fell and the Jets running game was able to assert their will on the lowly Jaguars. I only have one complaint and that is the continued rotation at Left Guard but we'll get to that soon.
Take A Lap!:
Whoever Instituted the Left Guard Rotation:
I can't explain how frustrating it is seeing Vlad Ducasse in the game every third series, it's the same feeling as seeing Tebow in the game disrupting the flow of the offense. Slauson is obviously the better player, even Offensive Line Coach Dave DeGuglielmo will tell you that, but apparently the mandate is coming down from above. The bottom line is that Ducasse may just not be good enough to take over the spot full-time and if that's the case then leave him on the bench and leave Slauson in the game. There isn't a unit on the field where continuity and cohesion is more important than the offensive line so don't mess with it and TAKE A LAP!
Jeremy Kerley:
It's a sad state of affairs when I have to put the team's best and most reliable receiver on this list but he put the ball on the ground again yesterday, ruining a drive that appeared to be pretty promising. Although the gaffe didn't translate into points for the Jags, this team turns the ball over enough already. We don't need the receivers fumbling balls when completing passes is already a difficult proposition. Better teams will capitalize on those opportunities so Jeremy Kerley count your blessings and take a lap.
The Punt Team:
I can't for the life of me understand how a Mike Westhoff-coached unit could screw up with such frequency but somehow they manage. It may seem silly to penalize a unit for mistakes that were almost made but the margin but which they escaped from making them was so thin that it deserves to be talked about. On two separate occasions, the Jaguars came within fingertip-length of blocking Robert Malone punts, which would have proved catastrophic. The Jets can ill-afford any more special teams breakdowns if they expect to somehow run the table but something tells me there will be at least one more colossal screw-up before the season is over.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
The Helper City Council gave direction to the town's department of public safety last week to resolve the failures of the county wide drug task force and attempt to rejoin.
The Jan. 18 vote by the members of the Helper council stemmed from conversations in December regarding whether the city was legally a part of the Carbon Metro Drug Task Force.
Mayor Mike Dalpiaz announced last fall that the city would be withdrawing from the drug task force.
With support of Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis, the mayor notified other members of the task force of his decision in August.
Last month, the city council questioned whether the mayor was authorized to take that action without council approval.
An opinion by city attorney Gene Strate last week clarified that the question of the mayor's authority to withdraw is irrelevant to the situation.
"My opinion is that [the contract] is not valid for a number of reasons," said Strate. He explained that both Utah law and the city's municipal code require that each signature on an interlocal agreement be attested by the county clerk or city recorder of each agency participating in the interlocal agreement.
Strate reported to the council that the contract was signed by a county commissioner, the county sheriff and the mayor and police chief of each city in early 2000, when the contract would have gone into effect.
However, there are no signatures attesting the signatures by the commissioner, sheriff, mayors or police chiefs.
Strate reported that the contract in Helper's records is lacking the attesting signatures. He added that the county clerk's office does not have a copy of the contract.
In a copy of the contract obtained from Price city's police department, the Sun Advocate learned that Price's copy of the contract is lacking attesting signatures as well.
Second, the Helper attorney explained that, since there is a budget item associated with the drug task force, Utah law requires approval by the city council.
Strate indicated that he was unable to find any approval by the council.
"My guess is that the other cities didn't do that, either," said the Helper attorney.
A third concern raised by Strate is that the interlocal agreement states that the cities and county entered into the contract "pursuant to authorizing resolutions of their respective governing bodies."
"I don't see that was ever done," he said.
Finally, interlocal agreements must be reviews by county attorneys. While the law doesn't require attorneys to sign interlocal agreements, Strate said he was unable to find a record stating the contract had been reviewed by attorneys.
"I think we're at the point where the contract is invalid," summarized the city attorney.
Given the legal opinion that contract is not valid, the question of the mayor's authority to terminate the contract is not relevant to Helper's involvement or lack of involvement in the drug task force.
After receiving legal counsel on the matter, Helper's city council addressed whether or not the city should be a participant in the drug task force.
The mayor said he supports efforts to arrest and prosecute drug offenders. However, he said he felt that Helper was not getting the kind of results it should from the drug task force.
"We have more drug arrests in our city per capita. Not that we have more drugs, we just aggressively go after them," said Dalpiaz.
The mayor said that the other cities and county do a good job in prosecuting drugs.
"But the drug task force as we know it is broke," said Dalpiaz. "Those guys work their tail off. They work their tail off on a broken wheel. And it's not getting anywhere."
The mayor added that the drug task force worked well when it started, and for many years functioned well. The mayor offered a broad overview of some of the items he thought were lacking in the task force. Zamantakis said he would prefer to address specific items in closed meetings.
Dalpiaz said the drug task force is not as active as it should be within the city, resulting in Helper taking on more of the responsibilities within the city.
At a previous meeting, Price Mayor Joe Piccolo said the drug task force was created to support local agencies.
However, the interlocal agreement creating the task force states that the task force was "created as a separate legal and administrative entity for the purpose of investigation, indemnification, arrest, prosecution and conviction of narcotics users and dealers."
Zamantakis said that the city council needed to address the question of how to fix problems within the drug task force and how to be a part of it.
"With fixes, I think it can be run properly and be productive," said the police chief.
He said the debate on whether the mayor had the authority to withdraw was not helping to solve any of the task force's problems.
"I see this as a time that all entities review this and fix those broken things you're talking about." said Councilmember Chuck Buchanan. He added that it may be proper to address some of the task force's failings with specific provisions in the next contract.
"I find it interesting that we don't have a contract and I think that actually works to our advantage in the long run," added Councilmember Dean Armstrong.
The council passed a motion recommending that the department of public safety address specific concerns with the drug task force and make steps to correcting those problems.
If a resolution to those issues can be found, the council will support rejoining the task force.
"We will back you every step of the way," Armstrong told Zamantakis.

POTSDAM Plans to install a jet fuel pump at the Potsdam Airport have been delayed because no contractors responded to the villages request for proposals.
The village Board of Trustees decided in August to install the jet fuel pump, which is expected to cost about $60,000, in order to sell the fuel at a 15 percent markup.
Once the pump is installed, Lifenet Helicopters, which run on jet fuel and are based at the airport, will become regular customers. Other planes that regularly visit the airport also use jet fuel.
There are aircraft that go through every day that use it, said Village Administrator David H. Fenton.
The pump stands to turn a profit for Potsdam, once it finally gets installed. It may also allow the airport to expand its services by adding another hangar.
However, nobody responded to the villages call for contractors able to do the work.
The reason, according to Mr. Fenton, is that contractors are just too busy.
For some reason, there is a lot of fuel tank activity out there right now, he said. It will likely be several months before a contractor can be found and the pump can be installed.
In the meantime, the Lifenet helicopters will continue to fill up in Massena, Ogdensburg and Burlington, Vt.
Well make it work somehow, Mr. Fenton said.
Lifenet helicopters have been responding to medical emergency calls since opening a station in Potsdam in October.
They have a steady number of callers, they really like the facilities, and I think theyre really trying to make a go of this, Mr. Fenton said.
Cape Airs planes also regularly use the Potsdam airport and would be likely jet fuel customers.
In other business, the village board reappointed Trustee Reinhold J. Tischler as deputy mayor and Margaret Garner as village justice.
Tuesday night marked the villages annual organizational meeting. The board re-appointed several people to various government positions and set meeting dates for 2013.

IN NEW YORK The way Rex Ryan has whipped up the New York Jets, everyone acts 15 years old. Fat assistant coaches stampede up and down the sideline, excited as wild young rhinoceroses. Jaded millionaire receivers sail around with their arms thrown open wide like kids imitating airplanes, pretending to fly. "The Flight Boys," they call themselves.
Whether or not the Jets can continue their improbable amusement ride, Ryan has already proved a point: It's possible to laugh and play football at the same time. A lot of NFL coaches won't admit it's possible to do both, at least not aloud. But with his underdog team in the AFC championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ryan is giggling like it's a schoolyard dare.

UPDATE: Thank you all for participating! I'd just like to let those who requested know that it will take me a little while to finish your chibis. Please be patient with me.
I'm in the mood to draw something cute. How about CHIBIS!?
I am offering 5 FREE chibis to the first 5 deviants who respond to this journal. Unlike the 10 Free Sketches, these will be fully COLORED digitally.
The requests are open to all, except for those who had requested one of my free sketches. Then after a week, those who had requested something of me previously will be allowed to request a chibi if all spots have not already been claimed.
I will however, need a little more time with these requests since they are so time consuming (namely the digitizing).
There is a catch though, whoever requests tell your friends about your cute little chibi. I'd really appreciate it.
One character per person. NO EXCEPTIONS
1. Artistic-Resonance - Armin from Attack on Titan
2. PanMarlon - Toshirou Hitsugaya

American Christians may not see eye-to-eye on the justness or wisdom of their government's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but one thing on which they should be able to agree — because the facts are indisputable — is that the wars have been devastating for their coreligionists in those countries. Hundreds of thousands of Christians, including members of one of the world's oldest Christian communities, have either fled from or been killed in Iraq since 2003. Now, according to the U.S. State Department, the situation for Christians in Afghanistan has become so dire that not a single church remains in that country.
CNSNews.com quotes the State Department's International Religious Freedom Report for the second half of 2010:
There is no longer a public Christian church; the courts have not upheld the church's claim to its 99-year lease, and the landowner destroyed the building in March [2010]. [Private] chapels and churches for the international community of various faiths are located on several military bases, PRTs [Provincial Reconstruction Teams], and at the Italian embassy. Some citizens who converted to Christianity as refugees have returned.
Furthermore, says the report, "there were no Christian schools in the country."

The small, beakless Irrawaddy dolphin frequents large rivers, estuaries, and freshwater lagoons in South and Southeast Asia. The Irrawaddy range extends from the Bay of Bengal to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. Gray to dark slate blue in color, the dolphin has a rounded head and measures up to eight feet in length. Irrawaddy dolphins live in small groups of generally six or fewer, but sometimes as many as 15 individuals. They subsist on a diet of fish, and communicate with clicks, creaks, and buzzes. In a section of Myanmar's Irrawaddy River, the dolphins are known to fish cooperatively with humans, herding fish schools toward the fishermen where they are easily caught in cast nets. The practice benefits the fishermen—increasing the size of their catches up to threefold—as well as the dolphins, which fill their own stomachs on the cornered fish and those that fall out of the fishing nets.
Like several other species of dolphins and porpoises in South and Southeast Asia, Irrawaddy dolphins are disappearing at a rapid rate. However, there are some hopeful signs. Recently, WCS researchers found nearly 6,000 Irrawaddy dolphins swimming in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh and adjacent waters of the Bay of Bengal. Previously, the largest known populations of the dolphin had numbered in the low hundreds. Conservation of this enigmatic mammal, which lives in both river and marine environments, will depend on devising and implementing sound solutions for replacing harmful fishing practices and halting or mitigating the impacts of habitat loss.
Irrawaddy dolphins are facing increasing threats to their survival. Surveys conducted by local scientists and WCS in Bangladesh revealed
accidental killing in a drifting gillnet fishery for sharks, as well as
habitat loss caused by declining freshwater supplies and sea-level rise
resulting from global climate change. The
population in this South Asian country's Sundarbans mangrove forest must also cope with declining
freshwater supplies, caused by upstream water diversion in India
coupled with sea-level rise. The latter issue has been brought on by
climate change. WCS researchers are currently studying the long-term
effects of this phenomenon.
WCS collaborates with local scientists to investigate the impacts of human activities on Irrawaddy dolphins and develop science-based and community-informed approaches for addressing threats such as bycatch, prey depletion, and habitat loss. WCS works with governments, local NGOs, and rural communities to implement effective conservation management that incorporates the needs of local residents.
Despite the enormity of threats facing Irrawaddy dolphins, a recent victory in the Irrawaddy River offers a glimmer of hope. In 2006, with WCS aid, the government of Myanmar established a protected area to safeguard a population of the dolphins and their unique cooperative fishing practices with local communities. Spanning a 43-mile length of the river, the protected area has raised public awareness of Irrawaddy dolphins and their role in the livelihoods of local fishermen.
In the Sundarbans of Bangladesh, where WCS made its astounding discovery, our scientists are collaborating closely with the Ministry of Environment and Forests on plans to establish a protected area network to secure the dolphin stronghold. We are also
supporting sustainable fishing practices and helping to develop local
ecotourism projects that benefit the region's people and wildlife.
WCS has developed and published the Action Plan for the Conservation of Freshwater Populations of Irrawaddy Dolphins. This document serves as a template for addressing the conservation needs of the vulnerable species throughout South and Southeast Asia.
Climate change is having a profound effect on the Sundarbans of Bangladesh, one of the most important sanctuaries for tropical dolphins. As sea levels in the Bay of Bengal rise with global warming, critical wildlife habitat in the adjacent mangrove forests has shrunk.
The Government of Bangladesh declares three new wildlife sanctuaries for Ganges River and Irrawaddy dolphins. A WCS collaborative study with the Bangladesh Forest Department helped pinpoint the locations of the new protected areas.
WCS's Bangladesh Cetacean Diversity Project promotes public awareness of two threatened dolphin species in the Sundarbans.
Nearly 6,000 Irrawaddy dolphins are alive and swimming in Bangladesh, according to new WCS research. Prior to this study, the largest known populations of Irrawaddy dolphins numbered in the low hundreds or less.
A novel partnership between fishermen of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar and an endangered river dolphin guarantees a good catch for the fishermen. By establishing a protected area along a stretch of the river, the government of Myanmar is helping to safeguard this unique cultural tradition.

CAIRO – Condemning assaults on US diplomatic missions in the Arab world, American Muslims have called on Muslims worldwide to follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) while protesting against a defamatory film.
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) is loved and respected by hundreds of millions of people across the world, and no one take this from our hearts." the umbrella Islamic Society of North America said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net on Thursday, September 13.
"No one should fall into the trap of those who wish to incite anger.
Muslims Urged to Ignore Prophet Film
Attacking US Embassies for Prophet Film: Illegal?
What Would Prophet Muhammad Do?In the Prophet's Footsteps
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) should be our example in everything we do, and even though he was attacked and insulted many times throughout his life, he always reacted with compassion and forgiveness, never with revenge or violence."
Violent protests engulfed several Arab and Muslim counties over a US-made film insulting Prophet Muhammad.
In Egypt, more than 300 people were injured in days of clashes between protestors and security forces around the US embassy in Cairo.
Protestors also attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, an attack that left the US ambassador and three other diplomats dead.
"We condemn the disgraceful killings of the American diplomats in Libya in the strongest terms possible," Nihad Awad, National Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net on Thursday, September 13.
"We also condemn the attack on our nation's diplomatic facilities in Libya and Egypt. The actions of the attackers are totally inexcusable and un-Islamic."
Angry Yemeni protestors also stormed the heavily-fortified US embassy in Sanaa. Similar protests were also reported in Bangladesh, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Tunisia and Sudan.
Produced and directed by an American-Israeli real-estate developer, the movie portrays the Prophet as a fool, philanderer and a religious fake.
The film was posted on YouTube in June but drew attention last week when an Egyptian-American Copt produced a trailer in an Arabic-language blog post and e-mail newsletter publicizing the movie.
The movie was promoted by US pastor Terry Jones, who angered Muslims in 2010 with plans to burn the Noble Qur'an.
Jones called the film a "satirical" movie on the life of the Muslim Prophet, saying he showed a promotional video trailer after staging a symbolic "trial" of the Prophet.
Prophet's Footsteps
American leaders urged Muslims worldwide to follow the Prophet's traditions while responding to insults.
"Islamic traditions include a number of instances in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had the opportunity to retaliate against those who abused him, but refrained from doing so," Awad said.
He cited a saying of the Prophet that encourages forgiveness and kindness to insults.
"You [Muhammad] do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness."
He also cited the example of the woman, who used to throw trash on the prophet as he walked down a particular path.
"The prophet never responded in kind to the woman's abuse. Instead, when she one day failed to attack him, he went to her home to inquire about her condition," Awad said.
"In another tradition, the prophet was offered the opportunity to have God punish the people of a town near Mecca who refused the message of Islam and attacked him with stones. Again, the prophet did not choose to respond in kind to the abuse."
American leaders called on Muslims to shy away from violence in order to avoid tarnishing the image of Islam.
"We must not let extremists control the political or religious discourse," Awad said."That means that people of all beliefs should repudiate those who would commit acts of violence in response to intentional provocations and repudiate those whose only goal is offending religious sentiments."

OGDENSBURG In a victory for north country mental-health patients and advocates, the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will keep inpatient services for adults and children, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Thursday.
The St. Lawrence Psych Center will remain open, Mr. Cuomo told local leaders and state lawmakers via videoconference.
In addition to preserving inpatient care, which would have been lost under a state Office of Mental Health proposal, the Ogdensburg facility is being designated the Childrens Behavioral Health Center of Excellence for the North Country, meaning that some services will be increased here.
In reversing the OMH plan which had galvanized vigorous opposition from north country community, political and health-care leaders Mr. Cuomo said he was moved by arguments presented by the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force for keeping the facility open.
The task force provided him with a book of support letters, demographic data about the region and information about the psychiatric center.
I think you forgot the last chapter of the book, Mr. Cuomo said, because the last chapter of the book says the St. Lawrence Psych Center will remain open.
Thanking his executive team, including OMH officials, Mr. Cuomo said he was proud of their open-mindedness and willingness to change course.
The new plan will see 28 child and adolescent beds retained at the center, with increased clinic capacity in community hubs. The center also will have an expanded day treatment program for youth with more classrooms.
Added to the center will be a Mobile Integration Team, which will be used to respond to psychiatric crises and provide consultation and a first line of treatment.
More telepsychiatry also will be used at the center, linking it with rural locations.
The adult ward will shrink from 65 beds to 40, with $3 million in savings reinvested in the childrens center, according to a news release from the governors office.
Although the adult inpatient facility will decrease its capacity, Mr. Cuomo said, the state will add 50 community residential beds and expand the mobile crisis and support capacity for adults.
The concept of community beds does make sense to us, Mr. Cuomo said. This to me is an intelligent plan going forward. Well see how it goes from there.
Task force Chairman Charles W. Kelly thanked the governor.
This is a great day in Ogdensburg, Mr. Kelly said. This is a very important part of our community, more so than most people understand.
The task force, a volunteer organization that lobbied to preserve inpatient services, managed to secure an in-person meeting with the governor in Albany this month.
Jamie Dafoe Weber, Gouverneur, mother of a child who has used the psychiatric centers services several times, thanked the governor for taking the time to speak with her during the Dec. 10 meeting with the task force delegation.
You related to me as a parent first and foremost, and I appreciated that, she said.
Mrs. Weber said having the psychiatric center so close to home was paramount to [her sons] health and well-being and that the proximity allowed for frequent visits that played an important role in his ability to come home.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, and state Sens. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury, were joined by Ogdensburg Mayor William D. Nelson and St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, in thanking the governor for his decision to keep the center open and expand its childrens programing.
The news also was welcomed by Civil Service Employees Association President Danny Donohue, who applauded the preservation of services. Mr. Cuomo not only halted the plan to close services in Ogdensburg but also pulled the plug on similar plans in Binghamton and Elmira.
Mr. Kelly acknowledged the efforts of other task force members, including Mr. Nelson, Mr. Putney, St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency CEO Patrick J. Kelly, Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton, county Legislators Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, and Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, county Sheriff Kevin M. Wells, Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Chief of Emergency Medicine Dr. Theodore H. Klaudt, Mrs. Weber, John Burke, retired director of inpatient services at the Binghamton Psychiatric Center, North Country Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Garry F. Douglas, Clarkson University Senior Vice President and Provost Charles E. Thorpe and Government Relations Director Robert H. Wood Jr., James P. Scordo, executive director of Credo in Watertown, and Gregory P. Sharland, facility manager at Ag Energy.
I think its a win-win situation, Mr. Kelly said. I think we got everything we wanted. We know one thing for sure: its not closing down.
Mr. Kelly said he expects to hear more about the timeline for the transition to expanded adult outpatient facilities in the spring as part of the states budget process.

COLUMBUS -- More adults than ever are admitting to texting while driving, despite 98 percent saying they realize the dangers of doing so.
A new AT&T poll reveals 49 percent of adult drivers admit to texting while driving. That number, according to the survey, is higher than the number of teens -- 43 percent -- who have confessed to the behavior.
When compared with three years ago, the poll shows six in 10 drivers say they never texted behind the wheel.
Ohio is one of many to issue a statewide ban on texting while driving, whichrecently went into effect (see its impact by clicking through the photo story at the top of this page).
"Texting while driving is the most dangerous form of distracted driving; it takes a driver's eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, and mind off the task of driving for an extended period of time," says Kimberly Schwind, Public Relations Manager for AAA Ohio. "It will take our combined and concerted efforts to stop the rampant spread of texting behind the wheel."
Other stats regarding teen drivers from the AT&T poll shows that 60 percent admit to texting while at a red light, 61 percent admit to glancing at their phone while driving and 73 percent admit to glancing at their phone while stopped at a red light.
"Distracted driving is an epidemic on our roadways, and we need people all across Ohio to take action in their communities to help put a stop to it," said Colonel John Born, Ohio State Highway Patrol superintendent.
As a result of the findings, more attention is being pushed toward businesses to join more than 165 organizations already engaged in the Texting & Driving - It Can Wait movement.
"Businesses can help keep their employees and others on the road safe by encouraging responsible behavior behind the wheel, including obeying all laws related to the use of electronic devices," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue. "We also encourage all businesses to consider joining the 'It Can Wait' movement to end texting while driving. Together we can help turn the tide on this serious issue."
More than 1.3 million personal commitments never to text and drive have been made at ItCanWait.com, through Facebook, text-to-pledge, tweet-to-pledge or at events.
"Through the It Can Wait movement, AT&T is collaborating with employers, nonprofits, law enforcement, educators, legislators, professional associations and government agencies nationwide," says AT&T Senior Executive Vice President and Global Marketing Officer Cathy Coughlin. "I'm confident, together we can save lives by encouraging millions more to make the personal commitment never to text and drive."

Lately we've realized that whenever we need inspiration for a fancy-occasion outfit, we turn to Diane Kruger for dressing directions. Of course, we're not the only ones who appreciate her innate elegance and directional taste. Thanks to her incredible personal style, this beautifully put-together actress is the go-to girl for powerful designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Miuccia Prada, and Jason Wu. With fans in such high places, it's no wonder that Kruger's red carpet moments keep getting better and better. Her effortless combination of Hollywood glamour and high-fashion intrigue never fails to impress, so we decided to celebrate Kruger's élan in today's Style Spotlight story!
Though it seems as though Kruger never leaves the house without looking simply stunning, there were five fashionable moments that we consider best in show! Topping the list of Kruger's killer outfits is the high-wattage ensemble she wore to the Cinema Society and Hugo Boss-hosted premiere of Inglorious Basterds. Consisting of an incandescent paillette-and-crystal embroidered frock and strappy shoes from Miu Miu's Spring 10 collection, we think the silver and black sequined number is the ideal selection for a sartorial star. We love the textural quality of the material, and how the cinched waist adds a little shape to the beautifully draped fabric. Though her exact frock won't be available until mid-February, if you need something with a little shimmer now, try Body Language's Black Paillette Dress ($172). Just make sure you balance the look with appropriate beauty choices, such as a messy bun and a simple statement red lip.
Making another well-attired appearance, this time to support the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists in Los Angeles late last month, Kruger looked effortlessly chic in fall's most sumptuous fabric: velvet. Kruger, who often rocks killer Chloé designs, wowed in the French brand's Asymmetric Velvet Blouse ($1165) and Velvet Tapered Leg Pants ($1560). The resulting ensemble is demure (just a peep of skin) and sophisticated while still looking understated and flawless. If you want to find a similarly shaped silhouette and prefer the easy two-in-one aspect of a romper, we recommend trying ASOS' Black One Shoulder Velvet Jumpsuit ($122) for a more budget-friendly alternative to the one-shoulder two-fer!
Kruger continued her support for one-shoulder styles a few days after the CFDA event, when she wore a darling single-strap dress to a Jason Wu fête at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. Wu always seems to get it right, especially with his fancier fare and cocktail dresses; we are particularly taken with this divinely draped number from his S/S 10 collection, which features a colorful Swiss dot fabric gathered at the hip. Though we've seen these chic spots on patterned tights, we love the way this material offers a fashionable update on the Little Black Dress (very Grecian goddess, which is very appropriate considering Kruger's breakout role as Helen in the 2004 blockbuster Troy). Of course, if you'd rather not wait for 2010 to grab the perfect New Year's Eve frock, just reach for French Connection's Spot the Dot Dress ($182) instead. With a voluminous short skirt, asymmetrical shoulder tie, and colorful print, it's the perfect way to get a festive Kruger-in-Wu-inspired look now.
Next up we have what the Who What Wear staffers refer to as the "reverse mullet dress,"-party in the front, business in the back-which definitely gives new meaning to the high-low mix! Though this particular design is from the F/W 09 season-Olivier Theysken's final collection at the helm of the Nina Ricci house, to be exact-the hybrid-hemmed piece is so dramatic and elegant, we couldn't resist featuring it in today's story. Kruger's selection, which she picked to attend the Fashion Dinner for AIDS at the Pavilion d'Armenonville earlier this year, is perfect for a high-fashion occasion. The floral print is feminine without being too overpowering and the swooping skirt is a smart way to add an unexpected kick to more traditional black-tie fare. Though this exact frock is no longer available, we can recommend One Vintage's Vesperia Dress ($930) or ABS's One-Shoulder Silk Gown ($430). The jagged hem of the former and the asymmetrical neckline of the latter mimic the uneven hem of Kruger's dress, and both feature muted palates and floral prints that recall Kruger's Ricci stunner.
The final look in our Style Spotlight is perhaps the most pared-down of the bunch, but it's perfectly adorable. Kruger, seen here at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this October, looked sweet and chic in a noir number, which she smartly paired with Chanel's Smoking Short Boots from the S/S 09 collection. We love the way these open-toed booties add a little bit of whimsy to a modest, chic, and somber black dress. Though Kruger's exact Chanel shoes are no longer available, make sure to check out Delman's Pearl Suede Pumps with Bows ($385); the look-a-like bow decoration and pyramid studs are a perfectly satisfying and stylish alternative!

Unsalted: Brazil Nuts, Peanut Oil.
High in selenium, the content of Brazil nuts, unlike most plant-based food, is considered to be a complete protein. This means Brazil nuts, much like meat-based protein sources, have all of the necessary amino acids for optimal human growth. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, and Brazil nuts have about 2,500 times as much selenium as other nuts. Increased intake of selenium has been tied to lower rates of cancer (particularly prostate cancer) and heart disease. The benefits don�t stop there. Brazil nuts are also high in zinc, a mineral that�s essential for proper digestion and metabolism.

Sandra Bullock is 48 and fine!
The actress brought the heat to the NY premiere of her new movie, "The Heat," last night in NYC -- hitting the red carpet in black leather and lace dress that made her the center of attention.
Sandy has definitely been embracing her sexier side lately and we're loving it!
All the cutouts make her LDB border a bit on the nightie side, but it's a step up from what she wore the the film's UK premiere:
Too matronly, right?
Check out more photos from last night's premiere in the gallery above -- including shots of Melissa McCarthy, Joey McIntyre and the new Miss USA.

I hope my Adept Response to this sweepstakes gets me some cleaner power!!!
Audience aR2p Adept Response Power Conditioner Sweepstakes
According to Audience:
The Audience Adept Response aR2p power conditioner is designed to elevate the performance of your audio system and provide superior power protection. It's ideal for single-component applications like monoblock amplifiers, receivers, video projectors and video displays and plugs directly into a power outlet with no separate power cord required. The aR2p is hand-built with premium-quality high-current components throughout.
The Adept Response aR2p provides surge suppression up to 20,000 amps. Whereas surge suppression devices like the ubiquitous MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) are "sacrificial" devices and wear out over time, the aR2p surge suppression does not deteriorate. The aR2p employs wide-bandwidth RF filtration – by reducing power line noise interference, the aR2p provides a lower noise floor and blacker background, resulting in a higher-resolution audio/video presentation.
The aR2p does not limit dynamics. Since power must respond quickly and completely to the demands of program material Audience believes it is imperative that power conditioning components present the lowest possible impedance power path while providing wide-bandwidth noise reduction. If desired, a simple high-quality multi-outlet power distribution system plugged into the aR2p can provide power conditioning for an entire audio or video system.

The Association is not the NFL and it sure as hell ain't hockey. So, before this shit gets out of hand, can we agree on a few items?
- You wear white at home and solids on the road.
- If you are the Los Angeles Lakers or have gold as one of your primary colors, you may wear gold at home. Ideally, it would be only the Lakers - douchebags have earned it - but Indiana, Seattle, Atlanta, go right ahead [but know, ATL, that you look like a hot dog...no, not a showboat...a fucking frankfurter, okay?].
- For shits 'n' giggles, you may rock the occasional "alternate jersey."
- And throwback nights are fun, provided they're kept to a minimum.
While we're discussing fashion, Heat fans can officially put the christening gowns up in the attic. If you want the camera view from the top American Airlines Arena to look like an aerial shot of Masjid al-Haram during Hajj, that's your call. But it looks goofy.

An experimental new cancer drug called MK-3475, which has shown dramatic promise for treating melanoma, is also showing early potential as an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death of men and women worldwide.
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 1.4 million people die from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year, and it is the most common type of lung cancer, representing approximately 85 percent of all lung cancer diagnoses.
Some cancer cells can evade detection by the human immune system by expressing a protein, called PD-L1, that interacts with another protein called PD-1, blocking the immune system from seeing the cancer as an invader. MK-3475, an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy drug made by pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck, enables the immune system to see the cancer as a problem and allows activation of T cells (the foot soldiers of the immune system) to attack and kill the cancer cells.
Detailed data from this new study were on safety and activity from a group of 38 previously treated NSCLC patients who received MK-3475 every three weeks. The response rate of patients given MK-3475 was 24 percent. The median overall survival rate was 51 weeks. Among the patients who responded, the median response duration had not been reached at the time of this analysis, and is at least 62 weeks.
The most commonly reported drug-related side effects in the study were rash (21 percent), skin itching (18 percent), fatigue (16 percent), diarrhea (13 percent) and joint pain (11 percent). Most side effects, however, were of low grade.
Preliminary results of the study were presented by Dr. Edward Garon, director of thoracic oncology at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, on Tuesday October 29 at the 15th World Conference on Lung Cancer. The summit was held by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, in Sydney, Australia.
"These are early results, but we are very encouraged by what we've seen so far with this drug," Garon said. "Lung cancer patients who have disease that has grown after two prior therapies do not have many options and we are cautiously optimistic that this might be a treatment that improves their chances in the future."
Based on this data, a new study (called a phase II/III trial) comparing two different doses of MK-3475 to standard chemotherapy for lung cancer has now begun accruing patients.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2013, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 12 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 14 consecutive years.
