Ting Lounge is another high rise restaurant in London, situated on the 34th floor of the Shard as part of the Shangri La Hotel. This time we were here for their afternoon tea.
Given its prestigious location and it's fancy decor they could have improved vastly on their service and quality of food. There was only two staff present meaning service was slow and forgetful. We had to ask several...more
Ok, this is a tough one.
I was taken here for my birthday on a Wednesday lunchtime. We specifically requested a window seat and said it was for a birthday, with quite some notice. When we arrived, as splendid as the view was, we weren't near the window, and I was disappointed to note that we were pretty much the only people not to be, so it did feel like a snub.

The location is simply phenomenal. The views are grand and luxurious and this restaurant sits on top of the shard which is one of the highest hotels in the world!
I must say however, the service wasn't too great here. We had a 9:30 reservation and we were sat promptly but our server didn't describe the menu too well, nor did he seem too interested in our likes.

Wisconsin Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Salad
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
This is a wonderful salad! Fresh mozzarella may be hard to find so regular may be substituted, although it won't be exactly the same. Fresh mozzarella is submerged in water to retain it's moisture content and preserve it's soft, slightly elastic texture. Best when only a few days old, it has a delicate, milky texture. This recipe is from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 large ripe tomatoes (vine-ripened are best)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- In a small bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- Cut tomatoes in 1/4th inch thick slices. Drain mozzarella from water and cut in 1/4th inch thick slices.
- Arrange tomatoes and mozzarella slices on platter. Drizzle with salad dressing. Sprinkle fresh chopped basil over top.
- Garnish with basil leaves and let stand 10 minutes to blend flavors.
- Serve with toasted baguette if desired.
Most Helpful
This was a great salad, I always enjoy tomato with mozzarella. The dressing was just right, this is a keeper.
Kaarin, you are right--this is a wonderful salad! I added a tsp of basil pesto to the dressing and loved the increased basil flavor. Red onions might also be a nice addition next time. Served this atop mixed baby greens. Reminds me of the "Steakhouse Salad" at Cheesecake Factory. Thanks so much for posting!

Welcome to the No Strings Theatre Company web site. We are the resident company of the Black Box Theatre, 430 N. Downtown Mall, Las Cruces, NM 88001. Our Phone number is 575-523-1223
We are often asked if reservations are necessary when attending NSTC performances at the Black Box Theatre. The answer is that unless you have a reservation we cannot guarantee you a seat should you just come to the theatre! Even if we have space, patrons with reservations are assigned seats in the order that they reserve so early reservations will get you a better seat. Reserving is simple, just call us at 575-523-1223.
With our new seats and platforming, we can change the configuration of the theatre. As a result the seating layout will not be the same for every show. We will always have a link to the current seating diagram to aid you in choosing a seat when you reserve

The No Strings Theatre Company (NSTC) is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to expanding theatre horizons in Las Cruces by:
We are committed to collaborating with other theatre and arts groups in the community to develop these goals. For example, writers groups such as Sin Fronteras/Writers Without Borders sponsor new play readings. We would like to provide an opportunity for the most promising of these plays to take the next step to rehearsed readings and perhaps fully staged performances as co-productions between No Strings and the originating writers group. Many interesting theatre works start off as part of classroom projects but fail to develop further because of the high demand on performance space and time in the academic environment. No Strings would like to be able to help these students develop their work. We would also envision our theatre as a place where student actors, designers, directors, and theatre artisans can refine their craft by involvement in high quality No Strings productions. There are many other possibilities and we would be glad to entertain proposals for projects which will enrich theatre in Las Cruces.

I am currently running into an issue with trying to password protect a directory that is sitting inside a directory that's running WordPress. This is for a directory called "admin" that handles a few things outside of WP.
In my WordPress .htaccess file, I have set a rule to ignore this directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(admin|index\.php)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
When I go to my admin directory, it works just fine and I'm able to see what I should be seeing (basic PHP stuff).
However, when I try and password protect that directory by putting an .htaccess and .htpassword file in there, I get a WordPress 404 error. This is what it looks like:
AuthUserFile /home/myuser/public_html/admin/.htpasswd
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
<limit GET POST>
require valid-user
It (obviously) has something to do with the "require valid-user" line. This particular .htaccess/.htpasswd file worked just fine on a similar server set up.
Any thoughts?

Spider Gx Won't Turn On
Posted 07 December 2005 - 08:45 AM
Posted 07 December 2005 - 11:46 AM
go to www.HackDaBox.com click on Spider GX !
Soldering wont really help with the Spider GX , squeeze it in and if you get all 6 leds on ( one led on the SPider GX and 5 on the SpiderWire PCB ) with the chip turned off then the legs are inserted ok make sure the Spider GX is squeezed onto the lpc !
Use the X2 5035 V1.6 bios and put the edited x2config.ini on your E:\ drive you can grab it from here ...

My website does get busy but it is working fine for me ??? Anyway try the mirror site posted above !
Soldering is not really possible with the Spider GX ... i guess you could remove all the pogo pins and solder on a pinheader and then solder wires on the motherboard for a LPC rebuild but it would be easier to buy another cheap chip and solder that in !
Try returning the chip and order a different chip if you can solder like the duox2 !

ok so before i go spending more money..which is limited...i tried soldering the d0 to the back of the mobo....i still get the same thing..i don't need the leg in the front correct? or do i still attach that anyway? could it be something else? cause like i said before all lights turn on when chip is disabled...just the d0 missing when chip is enabled...i am so frustrated right now...
thnx for the help
For the fact that it frags means your d0 is working !
It's the connection to the lpc that is bad , try pushing down firmly on the chip in different spots and turn on the box ( keep away from the power supply - leave the hard drive in the xbox but remove the dvd-rom and flip it so it's facing the wrong way around )
If it boots even once then your problem is poor lpc connection !
HackDaBox !
Posted 11 December 2005 - 05:32 AM
Posted 11 December 2005 - 05:54 AM
OK there are 5 leds on the SpiderWire PCB. With the Spider GX off you should have all 5 leds on. When you turn the chip on only 4 leds will be on. There is also a LED on the Spider GX itself so you will have 5 leds on in total out of 6 !

School's not out just in Yemen.
Egyptian teachers remained on strike at public schools throughout the country for the fourth straight day on Tuesday, canceling classes in a new academic year that began only this week.
The "boycott" of Egypt's state schools was called by teachers demanding better employment benefits, wage increases, and greater government investment in a notoriously overburdened educational system.
Many of the protesters said they were disappointed at the apparent lack of reform taking place in Egypt's schools in the 7 months since the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak.
"The government does not provide enough desks and chairs for the students and they don't provide enough pay for the teachers," Abdelhakim Abdelbar, a high school math teacher, told Egypt's state-funded Al-Ahram Online. "How can I teach the students when they can't find a place to sit?"
Egyptian school children were set to return to classes on September 17.
The teachers' strike, however, has reportedly led to school closures throughout the nation - including the entire Sinai Peninsula, parts of the northern Delta, and even into the far reaches of Egypt's Western Desert.
(More from GlobalPost in Cairo: Video emerges of teacher beating students in Egypt)
More than half of all government schools in Egypt's rural areas have been affected by the strike, according to the independent newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm.
"I do understand that my teachers are in a tough position and that they are paid very low wages for the amount of time and energy they spend on us," high school student Walaa Ahmed told Al-Ahram Online. "I still come to school hoping they will start teaching soon. I don't blame them for anything though; that's what we had a revolution for."
Egypt's ministry of education, which believes that less than 3 percent of schools have been closed by protests, reportedly offered some concessions to "protect the dignity" of Egyptian teachers.
The government announcement, however, has done little to quell the strikes.
A "million-man" protest by Egyptians teachers has been called for later this week.

If you haven't been affected by the Epsilon data breach, you're likely in the minority and can count yourself lucky … this time, at least. As for me, I've heard from four companies. I opened each email with bated breath, only to sigh with relief when they told me that nothing but my name and/or email address was stolen; no other personal data was breached. Given that one of these four was a leading retail investment firm, it's no small relief to learn this.
My attempt to get behind the scenes at Epsilon was met with a terse and unhelpful response: "Unfortunately, as we focus on the ongoing investigation, we're unable to comment. Please refer to the statements on our website for the time being."
On its website, Epsilon has the following message for its hapless victims: "Alliance Data Systems Corp. (NYSE: ADS), parent company of Epsilon, today reaffirmed Epsilon's previous statement that the unauthorized entry into an Epsilon email system was limited to email addresses and/or customer names only. No personally identifiable information (PII) was compromised, such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers or account information."
We got lucky this time, but a quick look at websites such as www.PrivacyRights.org and www.DataBreaches.net reveals how frighteningly pervasive--and seemingly unstoppable--the problem is.
Much of the discussion around protecting against data breaches has traditionally centered on two important aspects: perimeter security (e.g. firewalls) and data encryption (in situ, and in transit). But there's another, often overlooked, aspect to protecting your data that's much less sexy, but no less effective: data architecture.
Data architecture is many things to many people, but typically includes data security (e.g. encryption, addressed above), metadata management, data obfuscation, data modeling, data distribution, and--depending on your perspective--data governance.
How can data architecture help protect your data? Here's a sample series of measures you can take using different components of data architecture.
First, work with your data governance and information security teams to define attribute sensitivity, such as private health information or PII. Update the attributes in your data models to reflect this sensitivity. Then, export this information from your models into your metadata management system, which helps standardize the sensitivity information. Next, propagate it into your other metadata environments, such as your business intelligence tools. Ensure that your analytics and reporting teams are aware of attribute sensitivity when presenting information to users.
Now you'll want to use this information to architect your databases appropriately. Let creative thinking and wisdom guide your data architects and modelers into creating data models that separate sensitive attributes from others. Use query federation techniques in your SQL or application layer to pull this dispersed data together without significant sacrifice in performance. That brings us back to your BI and reporting tools, which is one such place for query federation.
Use data governance policies, driven by common sense, to restrict the proliferation of data across multiple environments. Work with your developer community to define standard operating procedures and techniques, such as data obfuscation that allow for testing application code with "real" data without compromising sensitivity.
Nearly all this falls under the umbrella of "data architecture." And if this sounds like a lot of work in a lot of areas by a lot of people, you're correct. However, you might find solace in the "mathematics of emphasis" philosophy of the late W. Edwards Deming, the guru of quality. It goes as follows: Quality = Results of work efforts/Total costs. So when people and organizations focus primarily on quality, quality tends to increase and costs fall over time. However, when people and organizations focus primarily on costs, costs tend to rise and quality declines over time. Or you could find satisfaction on the immortal words of management and quality consultant, the late Philip Crosby: "Quality is free"--as catchy a phrase as any in the vast world of management theory.
If you haven't given serious consideration to data architecture, now is as good a time as any, because scammers are filling your information aisles with their shopping carts. They'll be paying for your valuable wares with your own credit card. And not just your business, but your job, may well depend on keeping them at bay.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Thanks Rachael, that helped out quite a bit for me to understand some of the values that I have been using in manual mode through trial and error. Very helpful!

I have used ypops in the past. I think that was a sort-of community-provided software that violated the Terms of service of Yahoo Mail.
Has anything changed? Are there better options?
This is for a friend of mine, who needs some help.
I like the Microsoft Outlook user interface. I like the management for email folders, contacts, and address lists. I like the ability to do offline composition, and scheduled sends. I like the calendaring. All of these things are going to be useful for this friend of mine.
I don't use Yahoo Mail myself, so I'm not sure how Outlook 2007 compares with the web interface available for Yahoo Mail, or other alternative UIs for Yahoo Mail. Does the web interface have that kind of stuff? I assume not.
I know that Hotmail integrates nicely with ... it used to be Outlook Express? now I think the client-side software is called Windows Live Mail. Is there a possibility to do something like that with Yahoo and a "rich" email client?
Is this what I need? Yahoo Mail plus? Seems like not a lot of money for the capability.

The Handkerchief
In European medieval and renaissance love poetry, the handkerchief is typically a symbol for a woman's romantic favor. For instance, there was a particular ritual in which a lady would drop her handkerchief for a knight to pick up and keep as a token of her regard. The handkerchief that Othello gives Desdemona is, similarly, a love-token and therefore a symbol of their love. But the handkerchief, which originally belonged to an Egyptian sorcerer, also comes to symbolize the illusions that Iago is "casting" through his plotting and subterfuge.
•Look for the red text to track where The Handkerchief appears in: Act 3, scene 3, Act 3, scene 4, Act 5, scene 2
Othello is rife with animal metaphors. In particular, this language is used to describe Othello, the "Barbary horse," or the "beautiful creature" Desdemona. In each case, the animal language is connected to prejudice. Describing a person or group in animal terms is a way of defining that person or group as being less than human, something that deserves to be humiliated and controlled.
•Look for the red text to track where Animals appears in: Act 1, scene 1, Act 1, scene 1, Act 1, scene 1, Act 1, scene 1, Act 2, scene 3

The title and premise of Sex Tape might make you think it's a raunchy comedy. And maybe it is to a degree, but at its heart the movie is about married life. Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz play a couple whose relationship is a bit of a cliche, in terms of their sex life, albeit the kind of cliche that isn't necessarily unrecognizable to millions of real legally bound partners around the world. Even more, though, the way they get along and genuinely like each other is also purely identifiable to the best of husbands and wives out there. As Kristy Puchko of Cinema Blend puts it, this is "a movie that's not just incredibly funny, but also winningly relatable."
In her defense of Sex Tape, Puchko makes the movie sound like the best comedic portrayal of marriage in years. At least the two years since Judd Apatow's This Is 40, which has its problems but still does a great job of representing the comforts and discomforts of a modern couple in middle age. I'll also go even further out on the limb for another recent movie starring Leslie Mann: The Change-Up. The body switch comedy is almost completely terrible, but there is a great point at its center involving how much or how little married partners know about each other, and that's not necessarily a reflection of a bad union. A more brilliant (and funnier) take on the idea, is Jonathan Glazer's Birth.
Most of the great marital comedies, though, can be found in the distant past, with classics of the 1930s in particular playing with newlyweds and separated couples alike — the latter formed a whole screwball rom-com subgenre known as the comedy of remarriage, where couples get back together before they can finalize their divorce. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne and later Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy paired up for many of the best and funniest earlier looks at spousal relationships.
Then there are the Thin Man movies, which showed how a man and woman could be plenty happy with she being the main breadwinner (or bread inheritor anyway), a situation that is still hard for real folks to work out with today's increasingly changing income dynamics between couples. That series also hints that alcohol might be one way to keep a union a happy one, and I doubt a lot of real people would agree — at least in a positive sense, as opposed to the idea of drinking to put up with the spouse.
We could use more movies that make fun of but also celebrate marriage. Most rom-coms are about couples getting together and maybe ending with their wedding. A lot of movies about marriage, in contrast, are about their disintegration. The closest thing to a real movie about marriage today might be the new, sometimes funny HBO documentary 112 Weddings, which doesn't offer a lot of fresh news on the subject but is at least relatable, because it is after all real.
But one comedy that I think has some really nice married life moments is When Harry Met Sally, which we've been honoring this week for its 25th anniversary. It's primarily about the getting together of its title duo, but the supporting characters played by Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher are a wonderful representation of marriage. The movie also shares true stories of real elderly folks (performed by actors), who will always be my favorite depiction of married couples.
What is the best comedy about marriage?

"If you hold on to something is bc you don't want lose it, yet I learned that you have to let it go when you the only one holding it. A relationship is something where both hold on to each other and work hard to keep it together bc they both know if is broken both will be hurt. Now if you the only one holding on.. Let it go before it takes the best of you..Before it makes you too weak to move on... Before is to late to stop a broken heart. Before is to late to let it go... Let it go"
"a broken heart or a lonely child.. both tends to shatter when the things go wild.. one comes to mother and gets blessed.. the other goes back to the one who broke its nest.. not realizing the truth that healing is the power not everyone possess.. it either comes through the mothers womb or the souls crest.. for both are nurturing and both are divine.. if you can only keep your calm and give it some time.."
"Time alone is not enough to heal a broken heart. Time is like a canvass, it's what you paint on the canvas or do with your time that truly makes the difference."
"Maybe one day you'll realize how much you really loved me But by then, the one who really loved me already let me know"

Highlights and Good News about Ohlone! - About Ohlone College
At Ohlone we are proud of the accomplishments made by our dedicated students, faculty, and staff. We are pleased to share several of the highlights of the past year at Ohlone, which are a mere sampling of the great things that are going on at Ohlone.
- Student Accomplishments
- Faculty and Staff Accomplishments
- College Accomplishments
- Community Outreach
- College Events
Student Accomplishments
The Ohlone Forensics Team had another very successful year, with numerous wins in numerous competitions. Ohlone student Kivraj Singh tied for CCCFA State Championship Keeling-Fricker Award for Top Speaker of Oral Interpretation of Literature. This award is for the whole state of California! Of special note are the final two competitions of the Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 Semesters. In April 2015 the Forensics Team closed out the year by participating in the Phi Rho Pi National Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio. Manveer Singh earned a Bronze in IPDA Debate (and was undefeated!); Kivraj Singh won a Bronze in Poetry and a Silver in Program Oral Interpretation; and Sarah Goulart won a Silver in Prose. On December 6-7, 2014 the Team participated at the UC Berkeley Individual Events tournament. At this tournament Kivraj Singh earned a first place in Dramatic Interpretation and Poetry; a second place in Prose; and a third place in Program Oral Interpretation and After Dinner Speech. Manveer Singh went from competing in novice to open (the big leagues!) and placed sixth in Impromptu. Jose Perscale earned a third place in Informative and a fourth place in Novice Extemporaneous. A complete listing of the 2014-2015 accomplishments of the Forensics Team is available on the Forensics Team's website. Congratulations to the Forensics Team for their impressive and very victorious year!
The Ohlone College Monitor won First Place for On-Site Opinion Writing, First Place for Column Writing, and Second Place for Feature Story Writing at the November 2014 Journalism Association of Community Colleges' NorCal conference in Sacramento.
Dr. Jeff Watanabe and twelve students spent Spring Break in March 2015 on a Study Abroad trip in Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja California, Mexico. The students experienced both land based and aquatic adventures. This was the first Study Abroad trip for the Environmental Studies Department.
Once again, Ohlone's Respiratory Therapy Program has been chosen among a select group to be recognized by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care to receive the Distinguished RRT Credentialing Success Award. Criteria for selection include holding accreditation without a required progress report; credentialing success of 90% or higher; and meeting or exceeding established thresholds for credentialing success, low attrition, and successful job placement.
Faculty and Staff Accomplishments
Rose-Margaret Itua, Associate Professor in Engineering, has created an interest group with her students for the Society for Women Engineers (SWE). SWE is the largest professional body of women engineers; women serve as role models and provide support not only to their peers but to students who want to enter the field of engineering. During the 2014-2015 academic year ten female students from Ohlone attended a Society for Women Engineers conference with Professor Itua, where Ohlone was recognized as the first community college in Northern California to have a SWE group on campus. The young women who attended the conference were able to interact with women in their chosen career path, who mentored and encouraged them to persevere.
Jeff Roberts, Associate Professor and Athletic Trainer, attended the 2015 Super Bowl in Phoenix watching the game but, more importantly, watching the players for potential head injuries. Since 2011 Professor Roberts has been the "spotter" for the NFL's Concussion Protocol Management program at the o.co Coliseum during all Oakland Raiders home games. Based on his excellent performance as a spotter for the Oakland Raiders, the NFL invited Roberts to work at the Super Bowl. Professor Roberts is dedicated to keeping Ohlone at the frontlines of concussion management technology. A recent example is the use of Sway mobile software which uses the motion detection in smartphones to detect balance deficit, an indicator that an individual has suffered a traumatic brain injury. Roberts has noted that there aren't many four-year schools that are using the Sway program yet and to his knowledge there isn't a single community college in the nation.
David Topham, Computer Science professor, was awarded a 2014 Summer Fellowship from Industry Initiatives for Science and Math Education (IISME). During a very competitive year, Professor Topham was selected from 300 applicants. The fellowship offers recipients hands-on math, science, and technology experience while working side by side with the Bay Area's leading industry, research, and university professionals.
College Accomplishments
The Academic Core Buildings Project has been awarded the 2015 SCUP Excellence in Planning Honor Award. Each year the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) recognizes excellence in planning, design, and implementation efforts of firms and higher education institutions. The Academic Core project was one of seven projects honored nationwide. This is a prestigious award, and it is fairly uncommon for a community college project to be recognized.
The new Communication Lab opened at the Newark Campus during Fall 2014, so Ohlone has another great resource to assist students' learning! The Lab is focused on Public Speaking students but students in any communication classes can find useful resources and valuable student mentors there. The Lab can assist students with research, organization, delivery techniques, as well as visual aids creation and use.
Ohlone's Communication Labs and Tutor Training Program received national certification in Spring 2015. The certification comes from the National Association of Communication Centers (NACC). Of the thirteen communication labs certified by NACC nationally, Ohlone is the only college in California to earn this certification and one of only two community colleges nationwide. To qualify for national certification Ohlone developed in-depth training and preparation materials and procedures, which included writing two communication lab and tutor training manuals, and creating a training program for peer-tutoring geared towards instructors and tutors in the lab.
The Deaf Studies Division had a record-breaking and largest number of new Deaf students—49—in the program during Fall 2014. Most of the Deaf classes were filled to capacity in the first week.
Ohlone has been listed in Entertainment Designer Magazine as one of nine innovative programs for Entertainment Design and Technology.
The Ohlone College Foundation received the donation of an antique Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ from Cliff and Judy Luscher of Union City. The three manual keyboard organ was originally installed in the Lyric Theatre in Monrovia, California in 1925 and is valued in excess of $200,000. The working organ will become a permanent installation in the Jackson Theatre in the Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, where the organ will be used for orchestral concerts, theatre productions, silent movies, and individual organ concert events.
One of the metrics on the California Community Colleges' Student Success Scorecard is improvement in basic skills math; that is, the percentage of students whose first math class was basic skills who eventually completed a collegelevel math course. There are 25 California Community Colleges that are grouped together as peers, and Ohlone had the highest performance rate of all 25 colleges. Ohlone's 46.1% rate of basic skills math students completing a college-level math course with a grade of C or higher was the only rate above 40%, with a peer average of 28.1% and a statewide average of 31.0%. Additionally, both Ohlone's African American and Hispanic students had the highest rate among its peers and both far exceeded the statewide rates. Ohlone is #1 among its peers and #2 compared to all 112 community colleges in preparing basic skills math students to succeed in college-level math courses!
Ohlone has received funding from the United Way for a math acceleration program for students pursuing engineering. This program will allow students to move from Algebra II through the first semester of Calculus in just two semesters. These funds are being used to develop the curriculum and teach the first cohort. Future cohorts are being supported by the recently awarded Department of Labor "Ready to Work Grant," in which Ohlone will receive $1 million of the $5 million awarded to this regional consortium.
Ohlone was named #8 on the list of the Top 30 Community Colleges in the United States in the October 2014 edition of the Chinese magazine College Student. Ohlone was selected on the basis of high transfer rates and transfer agreements with University of California campuses.
Ohlone's exceptional online program was listed by Affordable Colleges Online as #7 in the Top 40 Online Community Colleges for 2014-2015.
In March 2015 Radio magazine, a widely-read source for up-to-date information on the latest in radio broadcast technology, published an article about KOHL, the Ohlone College radio station, and its innovative method for conducting remote broadcasts. The article cites Tom Briseno, adjunct faculty member in KOHL's radio program. Briseno, a faculty member at KOHL for more than 20 years, has been a driving force in keeping Ohlone up-to-date in the technology arena. The article in Radio has generated quite a bit of interest from other radio stations. KOHL immediately began getting calls from other radio stations about the Web technology used by KOHL for their remote broadcasts.
Ohlone, which is already in the top 10% of community colleges statewide for completions (degrees awarded and transfer students), witnessed a substantial increase in program awards at the close of the 2013-2014 academic year. Six hundred eighty-five associate degrees were awarded (compared to 545 associate degrees for 2012-2013), and there were 821 certificates awarded (compared to 271 certificates for 2012-2013). That's 1506 program awards in 2013-2014 compared to 816 in 2012-2013!
Community Outreach
Seven Ohlone College Nursing students participated in the Kaiser Fremont Chemical Disaster Drill in September 2014. The students were dressed in full Haz-Mat suits and worked side-by-side with Kaiser physicians to triage, diagnose, and treat simulated patients. This is the fifth year the Nursing students have participated in a Kaiser Disaster Drill, which have also been conducted at Kaiser Hayward and Kaiser Oakland.
Five Nursing students, accompanied by Nancy Dinsmore, Associate Professor in Nursing, volunteered their time at the American Legion 40 et 8 convocation held in 2014 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The students were prepared to handle minor emergencies. The veterans appreciated the Nursing students' presence and reported that they had peace of mind that nurses were on the premises. The faculty and students happily reported their nursing skills were not needed.
During late Spring 2015 Ohlone was able to attend the Heald College Transfer Fair that was called in response to the closing of Corinthian Colleges. Ohlone had three staff cover this event that served approximately 675 students.
College Events
A record $80,000 was raised at the 30th Annual Ohlone College Golf Tournament in September 2014, a 54% increase over the previous 2013 high water mark. The event was supported by 26 major sponsors, also more than previous years. The Ohlone College Foundation has designated $50,000 to be used to support College athletics and $30,000 to support other college programs. Ohlone College Outstanding Alumni and prominent TV news anchor and reporter Dina Eastwood emceed the banquet, and there was special recognition for Fremont Bank's 30 years of support.
The HR Department collaborated with the Speech and Communication Studies Department to facilitate a "Community Dialogue on Race and Social Injustice" in February 2015. Speech and Communication faculty and HR facilitated thought-provoking exercises to encourage students, faculty, staff, and administrators to be open with their perspectives and experiences with race issues. The forum ended with an exercise to display the value of interconnectedness no matter the differences.
On March 16, 2015 the Counseling Department hosted its annual High School Counselor Conference, an event that has promoted collaboration between Ohlone and local high school counselors in the community since the early 2000s. This year the event was held at the Newark campus, and Ohlone hosted 35 attendees representing 16 schools from the Tri-Cities, Milpitas, and Hayward areas. The group discussed new student requirements, concurrent high school enrollment, transfer and degree programs, Career Training Education programs and job-training services, and resources available through Disabled Students Programs and Services. By sharing such information with the local high schools, the college hopes to better prepare and support students as they enter Ohlone.
The Ohlone College Foundation announced its Spring 2015 scholarship recipients. This year 91 students were awarded a total of $151,250 in scholarships. Of these scholarships, $90,000 will be for the Ohlone Promise, a full-ride scholarship for incoming freshmen from the District's high schools.

The host of this show is a tool. The show is repetitive & arguably dull; but for some reason I can't get enough. Its fun to see what the cupcakes creators devise.

These people take their cupcakes way too seriously. Still, it is great to watch and after all it does make your mouth water!

My daughter and I enjoy watching this show together, although it gets repetitive and people use the same ingredients often (goat cheese... every savoury cupcake has goat cheese icing..). I do like the host, I think he has quirky humor. The only person I can't stand is Candace. She smiles when she's saying harsh things and it drives me nuts. I also despise how they make the guest judges say things relevant to their career/title, it's cheesy to me.

have not watched the show yet but the winner from 2012 has a place in georgia. i think her icing is terrible, tastes like i'm eating wax. i'm not a fan of a lot of icing but i do leave some on there. this icing however, i had to get it all off. the cake is good so it's very sad about the icing because i really wanted to like them but i don't think i'll be going back :/ makes me wonder how she won if her icing tastes so bad. maybe the others were even worse?

his French accent is too strong, no French guys I know who live in the US for years speak with this kind of stick accent.

I love the idea of this show but I thought the contestants were supposed to be professionals? Their decorations always look horrible. I think the only ones that kind of impressed me were the Tim Burton ones and Sea World.

Queensborough Community College appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education's article The Unwritten Rules of College, By Dan Berrett. Read more»
CUNY Strategic Planning Framework
CUNY is undertaking a strategic planning effort to prepare a new strategic framework that will guide the future growth, development, and impact of the university and its 24 constituent colleges and graduate and professional schools. Read more»
The Office of Strategic Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Effectiveness is the administrative division of the college that provides leadership and administrative support and guidance to the strategic planning process and reporting, to the preparation of the year-end performance report, and to all college assessment processes and the documentation of assessment findings and reports of the institution, and serves as the intermediary with outside agencies with which the institution must meet compliance requirements.
Dr. Karen B. Steele
Vice President for Strategic Planning, Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness
The Institutional Effectiveness team is:
Strategic planning is the ongoing process of establishing clear goals and objectives and targets and measurable ways of determining whether the targets have been met. At the college, objectives refer to the smaller-scale activities that will help to meet the larger-scale goals.
College Mission Institutional Effectiveness Reports
Assessment is a cyclical process that is meant to foster continuous improvement and requires active collaboration. The process includes establishing goals and objectives, providing opportunities or activities for meeting those goals, assessing the degree to which the goals have been met, assessing outcomes based on specific criteria established in advance, and using the findings based on the evidence of the outcomes to (re)evaluate goals and determine next steps. At the college, this process can inform assessment at any one of the following levels—class, course, program, or institution.
General Education Outcomes Assessment Course Assessment Academic Program Review General Education (Pathways)
Clearly articulated objectives and outcomes are essential to assessment. Generally speaking, an objective articulates the competency required. By contrast, an outcome articulates the way in which, and the degree to which, a subject will demonstrate that competency. Outcomes are the products, artifacts, or results of the activities conducted to meet the objectives established. To be effective, an outcome must be measurable and specific to the behavior that is being assessed, whether it is a critical thinking activity in the classroom or a learning experience with an adviser or a strategic effort in a department or program. A measurable outcome includes the specific criteria by which it will be assessed; assessment is more effective when the criteria have been shared with the subject whose behaviors are being assessed. At the college, broad, lifelong skills, competencies, and values are expressed as general education outcomes. In the classroom, course-level outcomes support program-level outcomes and are aligned with one or more general education outcomes.

Institutional effectiveness is the ongoing process by which an institution measures the degree to which it fulfills its goals and objectives and meets its expected outcomes. At the college, documents that report such institutional effectiveness include the teaching department year-end reports, the non-teaching department year-end reports, and the college's strategic planning completion report.
