Florida college tuition hikes coming?
If Florida's state universities need more funds to provide a quality higher education, where should the money come from: The students getting the education or the businesses who want better-educated workers?
I ask because there's a debate brewing around Tallahassee over tuition increases, and the proposed 15-percent annual hike at 11 state universities has the support of some high-powered business groups.
As it stands, tuition for in-state students is around $3,800, well below the national average of $6,585.
Meanwhile, the University of Florida charges non-Florida residents $21,400 for undergraduate tuition this year.
It doesn't take an MBA to figure out where such a big differential leads: More out-of-state admissions to boost the bottom line, and more in-state kids getting shut out of the state's top-tier schools.
But sharp hikes could also shut more kids out if they simply can't afford college.
That disturbs Stanley Tate, the Miami businessman who founded Florida's popular prepaid college tuition program. The program allows parents to lock in today's prices for their infants and children. He has started a campaign against the proposed tuition increases. If you agree, you can sign a petition online by going to www.FloridaAffordableTuition.com.
There's little doubt that Florida's public universities need higher revenue to achieve better things.
But it's tough in a state with no income tax.
I just wonder if there's a better way to spread the pain than by simply foisting the bill entirely on students.
The business community sounds like it wants a free lunch. Corporations want better-educated workers, but are they willing to pay their share in the form of higher taxes or higher wages?
Under former governor Jeb Bush, corporate taxes in Florida were cut.
Restoring those taxes -- along with smaller tuition hikes -- seems a more equitable solution.
If the money comes entirely from the pockets of students, it means they'll leave school with bigger debt loads.
And that means more graduates will be forced to move out of state to find better-paying jobs, because Florida jobs tend to be lower-paying than other parts of the country.
It seems like a Catch 22.
Anybody got any ideas?

I was an Elementary Education major in college, and volunteered at the library and completed assignments working with children in different subject areas. Although I ultimately graduated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, the college told me I could go back and complete my student teaching and get licensed. When I am much older I would like to be a teacher. I feel the college gave me many resources and ideas for teaching elementary school children. After college I have been at my current job for over two years in a maternal child health agency working with pregnant women and infants. There I have learned how quickly babies develop and have gathered some good resources.

The Church of Saint Thomas of Villanova, commonly known as the Miagao Church, is the Roman Catholic parish church of the town of Miagao in Iloilo Province. Completed in 1797, the church is famous for the artistic sculptural relief carved on its facade. In 1993, the church was designated as one best examples of the Baroque Churches of the Philippines and included in the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The Miagao Church stands as a living legacy of the culture and way of life of the people of Miagao centuries ago, anchored in a strong foundation of Christian faith. As most travelers would agree, the Miagao Church is one of the country's architectural gems because of its unique and imposing designs, ornaments and motifs.
How To Get There
The Miagao Church is 30 to 45 minutes away from Iloilo City. Commuters can take a "Miagao" or any south-bound jeepney from Mohon Terminal in Molo District or from the Iloilo Terminal Market in Iloilo City Proper. For more information about how to get to Miagao, visit our Iloilo Transportation Guide.
More about Molo Church
The artistic facade of the Miagao Church is decorated with a relief sculpture of St. Christopher carrying the Christ child amidst coconut, papaya and guava shrubs. Like any other foreign influences, the architecture of many colonial churches has undergone the process of indigenization. This process is carried out by incorporating the prevailing Hispano-American and Medieval Spanish architecture with local as well as Muslim and Chinese touches. Thus, the synthesized topology which is anachronistic with the unmindful sues of decorative elements. It had no distinction in terms of periods or orders. A truly 'Philippine Church', it exudes a native touch.
A large stone image of St. Thomas of Villanueva, parish patron saint, dominates the center. Carved life-size statues of the Pope and St. Henry with their coat-of-arms above them flank the main entrance. Supporting the facade are the twin belfries, one towering two-storeys and the other three-storeys high. The church's simple interior is nevertheless highlighted by a striking gold-plated retablo.
In Baroque-Romanesque style, the church sinks six (6) meters deep into the ground with walls one-and-a-half (1 1/2) meters thick and buttresses thrice thicker. The creative and aesthetic abilities of Spanish colonizers are reflected in many colonial churches in the Philippines. This is especially true in Miagao Church – a world-renowned religious structure now included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

text: Chemical bonding is the interaction of atoms to join and form molecules and other stable forms of matter. When atoms approach one another, their nuclei and electrons distribute themselves in space so that the total energy is lower than it would be in any other configuration. The number of bonds an atom can form is called its valence, or valency. Atoms can share unpaired electrons, which creates a covalent bond, or transfer them from one atom to the other, which creates an ionic bond. A metallic bond forms in closely packed metal atoms in which the outer electron shell of each atom overlaps with a large number of nearby atoms. In this type of bond, the valence electrons continually move from one atom to another.

- Inhabitat – Green Design, Innovation, Architecture, Green Building - http://inhabitat.com -
Posted By Jill Fehrenbacher On July 3, 2007 @ 5:59 am In Design,Green Furniture,Innovation,Recycled Materials | 13 Comments
We at Inhabitat are huge supporters of the trash-to-treasure approach to design. Using repurposed, discarded, and recycled materials is not only eco-friendly and gives new life to seemingly useless material, but provides an interesting critique on modern consumer-based culture and individual value systems (see our recent Reclaiming Design [2] panel at HauteGREEN [3]). In that spirit, here are our five favorite chairs made from trash, reused materials, and other such refuse.
1. A LA LATA LOUNGER by Carlos Alberto Montana Hoyos [4]
Carlos Alberto Montana Hoyos' [5] sleekly styled lounge chair is a feat of both recycling and hand-crafted construction. Meticulously assembled using 1739 recycled aluminum can tabs, Hoyos' unique lounge chair incorporates traditional handicraft techniques with cutting-edge contemporary design.
2. RD4 CHAIR by Richard G. Liddle/Cohda Designs [6]
Combining green design sensibility and the freehand aesthetic of an architect's sketch (RD stands for 'roughly drawn'), Richard G. Liddle's magnificent RD4 Chair [7] is made from 100% wasted plastic, which yields a very comfortable seat in a super-cool form.
3. INKUKU PLASTIC BAG CHAIR by Ryan Frank [8]
While most of us green-minded consumers have hopefully switched to reusable shopping bags by now, plastic shopping bags continue to be a huge source of waste. But Ryan Frank's [9] Inkuku chair (which means "chicken" in Zulu), turns these pesky bags into design material using a traditional African craft technique. The result is a very brightly colored (and especially green) seat.
4. HUMAN NEST CHAIR by Emily Pilloton [11]
One of the eye-catching green pieces from HauteGREEN 2006 [12], Emily Pilloton's [13] Human Nest chair takes bird-based construction to a comfy and oh-so-eco-friendly level- the bowl shaped chair is hand woven and tied using a bamboo frame and dozens of yards of scrap fabric.
One of our BKLYN Design [15] favorites, this darling little stool by Uhuru [16] is constructed from off-cut scrap wood pieces, all held in place using a recycled bike wheel. We love its tongue-in-cheek resemblance to a tree-stump, and love that the wood is recycled even more.

Fireplace for the Holidays?
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
So, you don't have a fireplace for the holidays? No way for Santa to get in, huh. Whatever will you do? Well, there's nothing like the power of imagination. This chalkboard-paint creation is the perfect solution to a festive holiday mantle. Ok, so you might need a space heater handy for warmth, but what a cheerful and fun solution for hanging those stockings by the chimney with care.
This simple project is made with a painters drop cloth, primed and then painted with chalkboard paint. Sew in a rod pocket, and design away! Happy Holidays.

This is decidedly NOT wallpaper. The way I see it, it's large scale, room making, art for your walls. A collection of graphically engaging images by a diverse group of artists in varied styles, are available by yourwallpaper. Customizable in size and color and even image. 'The xerographical printing technique enables manufacture in such small quantities as one single copy. Every wallpaper is unique as it is precisely adapted to the wall for which it is intended.' Homeowners and designers alike can collaborate to create artwork, with a specific artist, or search within the collection to 'find motifs or patterns for your wallpaper and adapt them according to requirements and environment .' Brilliant.

Simple as it gets, and a real applied DIY story. Restauranteurs Clinton McDougall and Dane Brown opened their currywurst restaurant 'Bestie' in the heart of Vancouver BC's Chinatown. Designed for flexibility, and a DIY install, components are uniform, utilitarian, and perfectly spare.
The main wall is made up of an array of 116 holes and wooden pegs which support an ever-changing rotating composition of locally produced design objects and art; coats and umbrellas; additional stools and pendant lights. Always changing to adapt to the current need or configuration, yet appearing organized and thoughtfully designed. Painted surfaces, define areas within the space and their function as well as make cleaning high traffic areas a snap.
Stripping away what is not necessary seems to work, providing space to enjoy the environment and the people within, with clarity, focus, and loads of character.

Big Bold Unabashed Color
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Big Bold Color. It demands space to empower a room. These stunning examples of large splashes of pigment speak to simple gestures, not letting the space get too busy but rather placing sculptural, singular elements of focus in the room. So dramatic, and full of energy. Notice how the floors are used in this color scheme? All planes (walls, ceiling and floor) play off each other to become part of the composition. These spaces work so well because the saturation of hues are balanced.
"Designed by Gisbert Pöppler, The Hansaviertel Project is a full renovation of a private apartment owned by a prominent writer for the popular German television show "Verliebt in Berlin". The property is tucked in the corner of a large modern apartment building, designed by Walter Gropius for the 1957 Interntational Building Exhibition, "Interbau". As if intentionally planned to coincide with this important milestone, the renovation was completed just in time to celebrate the 90th year anniversary of this now classic modernist BAUHAUS experiment in urban living." architectonic

Warm Modern
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Modern design is often thought of as cold or harsh. That need not be the case. If you are a fan of modern light filled rooms with simple clean lines, you can also enjoy a space that is warm and comfortable. Introducing a neutral palette of warm tonal whites, paired with mid value woods can create a welcoming and relaxing environment.
"In the Italian Alps, in the heart of South Tyrol, architects Vudafieri Saverino Partners designed a modern house which thanks to a thoughtful choice of materials and colour combinations blends seamlessly into its surroundings and proves warmly welcoming, reinterpreting the spare, almost monastic spirit of the typical buildings of the region.

Social stratification is the grouping of people based on income, wealth, political influence, and other characteristics. Widely recognized categories such as upper, middle, and lower class reflect the presence of social stratification in all societies. Inequality refers to the inevitable disparities in people's positions in this structure. The research presented in this book ranges from studies of income and wealth disparities to analyses of the nature of the class system. This textbook reflects a hybrid approach to studying stratification. It addresses the knowledge accumulated by stratification scholars and challenges students to apply this information to their social world.

Well, I'd been wanting to give overland/regional mapping a shot, as I've only tried encounter-scale maps up until now. I was bored at work, saw Magrathean's post in the map request form and thought I would give it a shot. Like the title says, this was my very first attempt at regional mapping. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about what I don't know how to do, so that's something.
This was based on Magrathean's rough sketch. I know some of the rivers defy gravity a bit, but I wanted to stay as true as possible to his sketch (and this IS a D&D world after all, so maybe a wizard did it). The rest of the flaws/errors (I'm sure they are legion) are entirely my doing.
The map is broken up by several different kingdoms: blue is human, aqua is halfling, green is elven, brown is dwarven, purple is tiefling and red is dragonborn. Magrathean was really helpful with providing names and infinitely patient when I kept misspelling the draconic cities again and again. Anyway, you can take a look at the WIP forum right here if you're so inclined.
Special thanks to Tilt, Diamond, and Steel general for helpful advice, and another thanks to Tilt for the compass rose resource.
If anyone wants me to post any of the textures I used, I'd be happy to.

Ponnuru: What Romney could do in the White House
Some of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign proposals are bad ideas: His promise to launch a trade war with China, for example. (He doesn't put it quite that way, of course.) Others, such as his 20 percent across-the-board cut in tax rates, are unlikely to go anywhere. We don't have much reason to think he could speed up the economic recovery, any more than President Barack Obama could if re-elected.

Guardian starts Australian edition with soft launch
The Guardian has quietly launched its Australian edition.
Australian-based visitors to the site are now being automatically redirected to the home page of the British publication's new Australian edition.
The move does not yet appear to signal a full launch for the site. Most content is bylined to Alison Rourke, a Sydney-based journalist who has written for The Guardian since 2010.
The paper confirmed its launch of an Australian edition a fortnight ago with backing from entrepreneur Grame Wood. Katharine Viner, who is leading the project, said in the announcement that it would be launching later this year.
The ABC's outgoing director of editorial policies Paul Chadwick is to be a director of The Guardian Australia. This week The Australian reported that three other journalists will be hired.
The Australian edition is the third version of The Guardian's website. Along with its main UK version there is also a US edition. Guardian America launched in 2007.

I load up The Guardian fine with no redirect?
And that Australia page has been on The Guardian's site for years. It's like saying this is a sneak-peak at the Thailand edition of the site: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/thailand
Hi Seahorses,
The redirect appears to be patchy. It's happening to some of us in the office and not others. It would appear that if you have previously clicked on the UK edition tab or US edition tab, that overrides the redirect. That's my theory anyway…
What's different to your Thailand example is that Aus is now a third option in the dropdown along with the UK and US (again, not visible to everyone by the looks of it) which I've screengrabbed towards the end of the article.
Tim – Mumbrella
I'm not getting redirected to anything? When visiting Guardian.co.uk, I'm taken to the Guardian UK homepage, and the 'UK Edition', filled with generally UK-specific stories.
And supposing I look at The Grauniad to see UK news and not a few rewrites of the SMH?
I'm afraid Seahorses is right – that page has been up for a while. But Tim's right too – the re-direct started yesterday.
BTW Katharine Viner, Deputy editor, The Guardian left the UK for AU yesterday.
I'm getting reviews of Kevin Costner's wonderful 2006 film of the same name….
So where does The Guardian launch leave Fairfax on paywalls?
Err…why is the Australian site running ads for halogen heaters and ice treads (that handily fit over your shoes) in January? Don't they know its summer here?
@Claire Australian visitors' ads are currently served through Rubicon's ad exchange, so that's just an ad buyer doing boneheaded automated targeting.

Sustainment Automation Supports the 21st Century Warfighter
March 26, 2011
Story Highlights
- Describes what Sustainment Automation Support Management Office consists of
- Explains on a simple level how Sustainment Automation Support Management Office is used today
CAMP ARIFJAN, KUWAIT - When most think of communications in the Army, they think of radios and e-mail. This is only one side of the communications coin the Tennessee Army National Guard's 230th Sustainment Brigade considers in their S-6 department. What about those systems that drive life support functions for the warfighter' That's where the Sustainment Automation Support Management Office, also known as SASMO, steps into the spotlight. This shop is responsible for making sure that life-sustaining resources, like 'beans and bullets,' make it to the Soldier in a timely manner to keep them ready to support the Global War on Terror.
The life support and logistical operations the Standard Army Management System provides is an invaluable resource for the Army and is paving the way into the future. Imagine trying to track the movement of some 50,000 trucks, hundreds of airdrops, and the general supply management of facilities. Now imagine having to track all those assets by hand using pen and paper. Without the automation that SASMO provides, it is impractical and prevents the Army from maintaining a successful operational tempo within various theaters of operation.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 James Payne is a volunteer with the unit. As a Personnel Service Technician, working Helpdesk for the State of Tennessee gives him the technical knowledge to handle these systems. "It's really fascinating to watch how all the systems interact," Payne said.
The Standard Army Maintenance System - Enhanced, or SAMS-E, is the main focus of SASMO's mission, as it is the system used to order parts, track dispatching, and maintain the massive fleet of military vehicles. With the 230th's mission focusing on the drawdown in Iraq, there is a major priority on utilizing this system to its fullest potential, as the amount of traffic passing through the area is the largest logistical operation the Army has seen since Vietnam. Many bases throughout Iraq will be shutting down and their materials and personnel will be exiting theater through Kuwait by the December 31, 2011 deadline.
As far as making sure that everyone has what they need, the Standard Army Retail Supply System, SARSS, is a key component. The SARSS can be likened to a massive department store for everything from staples to uniforms to refrigerators. "Without this, forward facilities would have a difficult time getting the things they need to carry out their mission," said Payne.
The system tied to more traditional aspects of combat is the Standard Army Ammunition System - Modernization. This system is used for requesting and tracking munitions of all kinds, making combat missions possible in the first place. Be it rounds for the M4 rifle or potentially Hellfire missiles, all requests for munitions will go through this system.
Depending upon the location of the shop, the mission can be very different. According to Payne, the systems are hardened and well established in a garrison environment. The issues and troubles encountered are minor in nature. However, in a deployed environment with connectivity being a major hanging point, the problems they encounter are much larger. Since this mission is centered on the responsible drawdown of Iraq, members within the shop's ranks have been assigned to various bases throughout the region, to help track and maintain the logistical systems they manage. A proactive approach to the austere environment ensures issues are caught early and system users get the best customer service possible.
Part of military protocol today is the close association between the military and the civilian contractor. Working to maintain this complex web of systems, the contractors go just as far as their military counterparts, sometimes overnight after a normal shift, in order to get a system up and running. Payne said, "Their dedication to the mission is astounding." The knowledge base the contractors bring to the table is invaluable to the people responsible for using and maintaining the equipment and systems. "The least experienced person I [have worked with] still had four years experience on the job," Payne said.
With the responsible drawdown in Iraq and all the gear, vehicles, and personnel involved in this movement, these systems are critical for managing the logistics of this monumental task. Without SASMO and the systems they maintain, the Army mission could not and would not succeed. They are a gear in a very large machine that keeps the Army moving forward.

I tried looking at similar questions, but I couldn't find an answer that offered any help for my situation.
When I connect to public WiFI that requires that I accept the TOS (Barnes and Nobles, Borders), my connection drops every minute or so and I have to reload the TOS page and sign in again.
I seem to still have the cookies stored... I don't know what else to check.
My wireless works fine otherwise. I can connect to public WiFi that doesn't require a sign in (hospital). Any ideas?

Should Willow, Riveria and Island City elementary schools be closed and a new elementary school built in their place?
This is one of four options being considered by the La Grande School Districts citizens facilities committee. The committee is determining what should be done to address the school districts classroom building maintenance issue.
The options it is considering were presented to the school board on Wednesday. The committee has examined the condition of the districts buildings and the cost of upgrading them. It has been asked to make a recommendation to the board.
The option of closing Willow, Riveria and Island City elementary schools and building a new grade school is being considered for several reasons. It would ultimately save the school district $500,000 in annual staffing and utility expenses alone, according to the committees report.
The cost of maintaining Riveria and Willow are high because of their age. Riveria was built in 1912 and Willow was constructed in 1924. Island City Elementary is expensive to operate because its electrical heating system is inefficient and ineffective, the committee found. The cost of heating Island City per square foot is higher than any of the schools in the district.
A new school, large enough to serve 400 to 450 students, would cost $6.5 million. A bond would have to be approved by voters to finance construction of a new school.
Following are the three other options being considered by the committee. They were reviewed at Wednesdays board meeting by committee members Wendy Schrumm and Dan Mielke.
Close Riveria Elementary School.
Under this option the schools students and needed staff would be absorbed into other elementary schools. The move would save the school district $400,000 a year in staffing and utilities.
The report states that Riveria is not only expensive to operate but also would be dangerously unstable in the event of an earthquake because the school lacks reinforcing rods in its walls.
Phase two of this option calls for the school district to pass a bond to get money to upgrade facilities at all of its remaining buildings. About $12.8 million would be needed.
Close Willow and Riveria and modernize Island City Elementary.
This would save the school district about $500,000 a year in staffing and utility expenses. For this option to work, about $3.3 million would have to be spent to remodel and expand Island City Elementary. The money would be used to add six to eight new classrooms, two handicapped-accessible restrooms and a new gymnasium. In addition, other remodeling work would be done.
Move the school districts sixth-graders to La Grande Middle School and close Willow and Riveria.
Under this plan, five classrooms, two restrooms and a new roof would have to be added at the middle school. This would cost $1,873,000 and would have to be financed by a bond. Closing Willow and Riveria would save about $500,000 in staffing and utilities.
A flyer reviewing these options will be mailed to all households in the La Grande School District Nov. 26. On Dec. 3 an outside firm will begin conducting a telephone poll of 450 randomly selected school district patrons. They will be asked about the committees four options. Each person will also be asked if they would support a $14 million bond that would pay for needed plumbing and electrical work at all of the districts seven schools.
Surveyors will also ask patrons if they would support a $10 million bond to pay for ceiling, door and window work at all seven schools.
The facilities committee will analyze the survey results and make a recommendation to the school board in January or February.

Believe me, I had the "sticky keys problem" but this fixed it.

I think I've drilled to the core of the problem. I've encountered the same problem for a long time, and the fact that it persists across browsers, across platforms, etc. makes me think it's related to how Flash fundamentally processes keyboard input.
Speaking as a Flash developer, I've found keyboard latency issues pop up under very specific circumstances. Most of the time, Flash programmers have event listeners trap keyboard "KEYDOWN" events. I was not sure at first whether these events log only once (for the initial keypress) or log a whole bunch of times (based on the typematic rate and delay).
Turns out, it's the latter. When you hold a key, you'll get literally hundreds of repeated events stuffed through the queue, just waiting to be dispatched to the listeners. But why is this a problem only some times and not others?
Well, during the development of my first game (Atheist Armageddon), I found that this issue was negligible to nonexistent…until I started adding more objects and more listeners. Once that happened, there was more stuff to display on the screen and more input to check for. And that's when the issue, previously not present, suddenly became quite serious. I should note this issue appeared in Adobe's own player—NOT in a browser.
The culprit, it seems, is how Flash reads and dispatches messages to event listeners. Real-time code expects keyboard events to be dispatched and handled almost immediately, but Flash takes a different approach, spanning the dispatch of a large number of keyboard events over multiple frames. The events will EVENTUALLY get dispatched, and in the correct order…but several frames too late, pissing all of us off!
The "spanning input queue across multiple frames" issue will tend to crop up when there's more stuff in the background that needs to be processed, drawn, etc. This explains why tweaking some performance settings can alleviate the problem sometimes, but not always.
How to fix this? Well, Flash programmers should be aware of this from now on. But seeing as I can't force every Flash developer in the world to recompile and republish their projects, here's a radical but effective solution. Go into your Control Panel, open up the Keyboard settings, and reduce the Repeat Rate to a much lower amount. This means fewer KEYDOWNs forced through the event listeners, and less of a chance the events will span multiple frames. Worked for me!
Just don't forget to knock the Repeat Rate back up when you want to type something like "
-—————-". :-)
These are the suggested remidies. Second worked for me.
