The European Central Bank's balance sheet surged to a record 3.02 trillion euros ($3.96 trillion) last week, 31 percent bigger than the German economy, after a second tranche of three-year loans.
"The balance sheet has swelled by more than 1 trillion euros since mid July as the debt crisis made banks wary of lending to each other, forcing the ECB to provide additional liquidity and step into bond markets with its asset-purchase program.
"The balance sheet records all the assets and liabilities on the books of the ECB and the central banks of the euro area, which conduct market operations on the ECB's behalf.
"ECB council member Jens Weidmann, who heads Germany's Bundesbank, said the unprecedented three-year loans are "at the limits" of the central bank's mandate and warned of "substantial risks," Spiegel magazine reported on March 3."
{Gee, I wonder where all that money came from?}

Fantasy Sports w/AJ Mass
Send your questions now and join Mass in The Show on Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET!
Fantasy Archive: Baseball Chats | Football Chats | Fantasy Home Page
AJ Mass (3:00 PM)
Good afternoon everybody. We are back again for 60 minutes of fantasy goodness. So we can talk Giants, be it NY or SF and all of their friends... plus as usual, Bracketology Q's are always welcome. Randy says yes, Paula says yes... what do you say?
Turtle (Bloomington, IL):
What kind of numbers do you see Homer Bailey putting up this year?
AJ Mass (3:02 PM)
As long as he's not overused and can bring the walks total down a bit, Bailey should be a 10 game winner with an ERA around 4.
Jim (MA)
What kind of a year do you see from Carlos Pena this year?
AJ Mass (3:04 PM)
If you're asking if 2007 was a fluke, it wasn't. Do I think he'll hit 50 HR in '08? No. But he might hit 40. However, his batting average and RBI totals will go down some.
Jim (Reno)
Draft strategy question. Load up on consistent players, players with tons of upside, or a mixed bag of both? If you load up on high upside guys can't you cut the ones who don't perform in favor of the hot waiver pickups. Doesn't this increase your teams collective ceiling?
AJ Mass (3:08 PM)
The thing about signing the "hot waiver pickups" is that you have to identify which ones are simply "hot" - and will not continue at that pace, and which ones are reaching a new level of ability - who will continue. You're constantly gambling on hot streaks. That's not as likely to succeed as to draft guys who will go 20-20 and hit .300 and ride them out the whole season. Yes your method raises the ceiling... but also lowers the floor as much, if not more.
Frank (VA)
Here's my plan for my auction. Spend $1 on C, 1B, 2b and 3B (I'm keeping Rollins) and spend big on OF because we have to start 5. What do you think?
AJ Mass (3:11 PM)
I've got no problem with you going in with that in mind, but in an auction, you can't really be that inflexible. Because how much are you going to spend when Holliday comes up? $40? OK, what if someone bids $41 - do you bail? What if it goes up to $50? Now what if all of the Top 10 OFs are going for $40+? Don't you want to then make a play for David Wright for $30 or lower because you can afford him? I think it is better to have $ value targets for all players.
Allen (Asheville NC)
Mr. Mass, In a keeper league would trade Delmon Young for Alex Gordon? Thanks
AJ Mass (3:15 PM)
It's not a bad deal. After all, you're banking on Gordon being a better major leaguer not in 2008, but say in 2015, and I'm not going to tell you I know that answer. I'd keep Young since he's well, younger and the 2008 output of both guys isn't likely to be all that much different.
Rebecca (St. Louis)
Hi AJ, you're still my favorite! If I can get JD Drew real cheap after his bad year, do you think he'll produce solid numbers?
AJ Mass (3:17 PM)
I think there is certainly a point at which JD Drew becomes someone I would consider... around Round 14 perhaps... but I personally would not pull the trigger. At best, he doesn't get more than 15 HR.
Joe (Billings, MT)
AJ, I'm doing my first auction league this year and wondering your strategy for "throwing out guys". Do you start with the players you think are overrated, underrated, stars, rookies?
AJ Mass (3:21 PM)
First rule of throwing out guys... never nominate someone - even at $1 - if you don't want him ending up on your roster. Because as soon as you do, that's what will happen. Second, I think you feel the room a bit. If a lot of people have more money than you early, you might want to throw out a guy at a position you don't need to level the field a bit. So, if you have Rollins, nominate Reyes and sit back and let the $$$ go. Or if there's a huge run at one position going, you might be able to slip in an underrated player while everyone's brain is focused elsewhere. The more auctions you do, the better you should get at this.
Randy Jackson
AJ, I'm doing some draft prep before tonight's show. Any good pitchers flying under the radar?
AJ Mass (3:24 PM)
All depends on your league's radar. People tend to forget about guys like Liriano because they don't appear in your stats from 2007. Then there are guys like Paul Byrd and Doug Davis who are pretty solid to round out a staff who for some reason are overshadowed by teammates.
Craig ( PA)
If I'm already very strong in steals (Reyes, Figgins, Pence), who do you like better between Howard and Wright in terms of AVG, runs, HR's, and RBI's???
AJ Mass (3:26 PM)
I don't think I'd think that way. I have Wright higher than Howard, but that's in part because of his steals. Take steals out, and Howard is probably higher, but I'd still rather have Wright, because it allows me to trade a Figgins or a Pence for power later on if I need it.
Brendan (DC)
Who is the best position player to keep as my last keeper - Furcal, M. Young, or Rickie Weeks? (Already lots of SB with Ichiro, Soriano and Byrnes) Thanks!
AJ Mass (3:29 PM)
I still like Weeks over the other two. He'll get you 20-20. Although odds are Young gets you the most RBI, Weeks' spread over all 5 categories is a bit broader.
Tony (Jersey)
AJ. If I need pitching help but have excess speed, should I deal Pierre for Billingsley or keep the steals to lock up that category?
AJ Mass (3:32 PM)
If you win steals by 1, you get just as many points as if you win it by 100. So, if you feel you won't need Pierre, getting Chad now will be a lot easier than once the season starts and he starts piling up the wins. People don't trade 23-year old pitchers who start strong.
Dan (RI)
If I have to start 5 OF, does it make sense to get 5 very good ones and then get not as good infielders because I'm more likely to be able to replace infielders on the waiver wire than outfield because OK pickings will be so slim?
AJ Mass (3:37 PM)
Look at it this way. If you start 3 MI and 3 CO... in a 10 team league that's 60 out of 120 starters (30 MLB teams X 4). Outfielders? 50 out of 90. So, your premise appears to be correct... but then you're playing with 5 OF and 6 sub-par IF slots - putting yourself at a disadvantage. You need the best roster to win, so spread it out.
Scott (NY)
I have Arod (1st), Sizemore (2nd), Peavy (3rd), Vernon Wells (21st), Jason Bay (22nd0, or Carlos Pena (23rd roud) what 3 do i keep.
AJ Mass (3:40 PM)
Pena and Bay are steals. I would also keep A-Rod, unless I had 1st overall pick and could keep Peavy and "select" A-Rod at 1. Otherwise, I'd let Jake go back.
Craig ( PA)
Interesting, so in a 5 x 5 head to head league, where I'm going to win steals just about every week, you'd still rather Wright over Howard, even though Howard gives you better overall production in the other 4 categories you're trying to win each week, and can even carry you in HR's and RBI's some weeks???
AJ Mass (3:44 PM)
Actually in a head-to-head it makes even MORE sense to keep Wright. Over the course of a season, the more guys I have contributing to each category, the better my chances of winning it in any isolated week. Especially because HR hitters are so streaky, a guy who hits 40 for a season may get 8 in a week then go cold for two.
Timmy (Lexington)
Kentucky? Ready for the NCAA's now?
AJ Mass (3:46 PM)
Really nice win over Tennessee, and equally nice was seeing the fans not rush the court when it was done. The only thing storming the court says about your school is that you know you're garbage and shouldn't have won. UK acts like they should win. Still an uphill climb for Wildcats. Let's get to .500 first, then see what happens.
Aj..I've had it with the pats. From the Vrabel leg whip on Rivers this past week, to spy gate, to pushing reporters, to not shaking your opponents hand, to trading for a wr that totally quit on his teammates last season...this team has become very hard to root for and I even live up here!!! I know you are a Pats fan but come on admit they are a classless, dirty team
AJ Mass (3:49 PM)
I respect what the Pats have accomplished, but I don't know why you think I am a Pats fan. I'm a Giants fan from waaaaay back in the Scott Brunner days. And I have no issues with NE - but I do hope the Giants win.
Rebecca (St. Louis)
Where's Matthew Berry hiding? I don't think he's been doing any work lately.
AJ Mass (3:50 PM)
Don't you worry. Matt's like a cobra... you may not see him, but he's always there. And then when he strikes... it's too late to stop him.
Go Giants!! Do I keep Westbrook or Addai?
AJ Mass (3:52 PM)
Obviously it's a long ways off and rosters will change... but if the Eagles made the playoffs, Westbrook could very well have finished top 5 in the MVP vote. I keep Brian.
Dan (Iowa)
What teams make it up from the Big 10 and where would you seed them?
AJ Mass (3:55 PM)
Too early to seed teams. But it is not too early to see which teams are in the mix and which ones are not. Right now we're looking at 4 Bids. Hoosiers, Badgers and Spartans for sure. Purdue just edges out OSU and Gophers for the 4th spot.
Stan (Ohio)
I've watched Drake play and they're not that good. Why are they ranked?
AJ Mass (3:57 PM)
Drake is pretty good actually. I'm not saying that the 17-1 translates to Indiana's record for example... but going on the road in any conference and winning is not easy. The Top 25 is meaningless anyway... let the school have its moment. They'll make the NCAA's and that's what matters.

Just have time for a few more questions, folks.
NCAA quiz - What team does Lamont Ulmer play for? Get it right and you have my respect forever (or at least until you give me bad advice)
AJ Mass (3:59 PM)
John, not gonna lie to you, I only know this b/c I watched the Rams beat my Orange earlier in the year.
george (boston)
when will baseball draft stuff be posted? ballpark it...
AJ Mass (4:00 PM)
I'd say you're likely to have it in time for Valentine's Day if I were to ballpark it.
If he didn't know, like he wouldn't just look it up, he is on a pc afterall.......In an AL only baseball league, do you trade Santana ( for equal value ) and not take teh chance of him going to the NL?
AJ Mass (4:02 PM)
LOL, Matt. I think if Santana hasn't gone yet, I might take the chance and hold on to him. After all, who can truly afford him? Yankees, Red Sox and Mets? That's still a 2/3 chance he stays AL.
AJ Mass (4:02 PM)
Gang, it was fun, but time to run. We'll be back next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

How to Apply
Apply on UCAS's site
Key features of the courses are:
- Education Studies at Bath Spa University is rated highly by students, with 91% satisfaction with teaching in the 2010-11 National Student Survey
- All our awards are very flexible and can be tailored to your personal interests and ambitions
- You will be able to choose from more than 45 modules which explore a wide range of subjects and issues
- All modules are taught by experienced and respected staff
- You will be able to take a placement in a school or other educational setting in each year of your programme
- You will have the opportunity to study overseas in each year of your programme
- You will be able to apply (in year three) to stay with us to take a PGCE primary or secondary : OfSTED has rated our teacher education courses as 'outstanding' in 2011
Education Studies will give you an in-depth understanding of the world of formal and informal education in the UK and around the world. Education depends on an essentially optimistic view: that through learning we can change the world for the better.
Why study Education Studies?
There are a number of options available for studying Education at Bath Spa University.
Single honours awards in Education Studies are ideal for students who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the world of education and education around the world. Four single honours awards are available:
- Education Studies
- Early Years Education
- International Education
- Youth and Community Studies
It is also possible to combine Education with another subject in our modular programme to achieve a joint honours degree.
- Education Studies: Combined Awards
See the Course Structure tab for more information.
Please be aware that the above degrees do not lead to a reserved place on a PGCE Primary course, although you may apply for a place on our PGCE in year three.
If you choose to study for the Combined Award, please be aware that there is a separate Student Handbook.
Course structure
Education is a large subject at Bath Spa University so we are able to offer you various study options:
1. Education Studies (Single Honours award) (UCAS Code: X300)
Education Studies will give you an in-depth understanding of formal and informal education.
2. International Education (Single Honours award) (UCAS Code: X392)
These routes allow you to concentrate your study on either Education or International Education, but in your first year you will be able to take two modules from a selection of other modules related to your subject. This gives you a broader outlook on Education and its many related topics.
These routes are for those of you who are interested in the study of education but not yet certain about the professional route you are interested in developing beyond your degree.
If, however, you know at this stage that you would like to study a second subject alongside Education for all three years of your course (perhaps because your goal is to become a secondary teacher of that subject) you should look at Option 5 below – Education as part of a Combined Award.
You can also choose from two courses that are more directly linked to possible employment options;
3. Early Years Education (a specialised award) (UCAS Code: X312)
4. Youth and Community Studies (a specialised award) (UCAS Code: L590)
These awards offer you opportunities to both follow your academic programme and engage directly with professional practice in the relevant field which may give you an additional vocational qualification. You have a wide range of modules to choose from, but your module choices will be directly related to the specialism you have chosen (either Early Years or Youth and Community work) in order to prepare you for careers in these professions. There will be some core modules which you must follow on both these Specialised Awards which will be linked to possible professional occupations in either Early Years or Youth and Community. There will be opportunities to undertake some professional practice in your area of interest and your third year dissertation will be linked to your degree focus. As part of the Early Years Education specialised award, you will have the opportunity to gain a professional accreditation certificate in Childcare, Development and Learning.
5. Education as part of a Combined Award (with a second subject)
This option allows you to choose two subjects for all of your degree by taking two subjects throughout your three years and you can choose from a wide range of modules in both subjects. It is a suitable route for students who may wish to progress to a career as a teacher in a secondary school (for this you would need to apply to start a Secondary PGCE once you have completed your degree).
Whichever route you decide on there's a wide range of relevant modules for you to choose from, along with some compulsory modules.
In Year 1, core modules introduce key concepts and skills that underpin the subject as well as modules in, for example: learning through life, early years education, adolescence, primary schools and education in Europe.
In Years 2 and 3 you will consider more deeply the current issues in education and how they relate to your particular course. You will think critically about teaching, diversity, inclusion, social and educational policy and explore global and international perspectives in education. There are opportunities to carry out original research and pursue your own interests in these areas.
There are also modules which give you the chance to work in schools and other educational contexts including early years settings and youth and community contexts where you can develop your understanding of the nature of children and young people's development and teaching and learning.
Sample modules Include:
- Education for Change
- How Young Children Learn
- Young People's Sub-cultures
- International Perspectives on Education
Please note that if you know at this stage that you want to be a primary teacher you should apply to our specialised course which offers you a route to a teaching qualification. This is known as our '3+1' course because it is four years in length in total – three years for the undergraduate degree element and one year for the postgraduate PGCE element.
Course assessment
You will be assessed through course work submitted during modules. Course work includes essays, group presentations, research-based reports and portfolio-based work. We will provide you with prompt feedback on how well you are doing and give you regular guidance on how to improve your skills, knowledge and understanding. There are no examinations in Education Studies.
Bath Spa is a leading university in the field of Education Studies, and you'll be taught by a very experienced and well qualified team of more than 50 tutors with different backgrounds as qualified teachers, academics, authors and researchers. At Bath Spa we believe in helping you understand the difficulties experienced by many children and young people for whom access to good formal and informal education is sometimes difficult. You'll gain the knowledge, critical understanding and skills needed to explore the nature and functions of education in a rapidly changing world, and prepare for a range of professional employment.
As well as offering you an exciting undergraduate programme we also have full-time and part-time higher degrees which build on your undergraduate course and support you in professional development that will equip you to compete more effectively within the labour market. We have a flexible Education Studies Masters programme which allows you to develop further the focus of your undergraduate degree and includes modules such as Social and Education Policy, Education and Globalisation, Early Childhood Education, Work Based Professional Practice and Youth in the Community. From the moment you begin your undergraduate programme we will encourage you to think of yourself as maximising your opportunities by thinking of postgraduate options that will support your particular employment interests.
Whatever route you decide is right for you, we offer you the opportunity to become a committed, caring and creative professional- able to "make a difference".
Teaching methods
Teaching is through a mix of lectures (50 minutes), seminars and individual tutorials. Seminars are usually more informal than lectures - they are opportunities for you to discuss, ask questions and get involved in activities and debates. In year one your minimum timetabled time will be 12 hrs per week. All modules are led by experienced and respected university staff. Many staff are active researchers and authors in the field of education studies - in years two and three they will introduce you to their particular specialisms and research interests through a range of optional modules. We also have regular visiting speakers - these include headteachers, educational advisers, specialist researchers and international visitors.
Placements occur in each year of the programme. In year two there is a compulsory placement in an educational setting or school. Optional modules provide further placement opportunities for you to work with young people both locally and internationally. The School of Education Partnership Office will arrange each placement for you. We try to ensure you are located within a reasonable distance from where you live; however, you should normally expect to travel using your own or public transport.
Teaching quality excellence

Application method
All full time applications are through UCAS.
Course enquiries
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entry requirements
260–300 UCAS Tariff points.
Career opportunities
Education Studies will provide the basis for you to work with learners – young people and older people – in different organisations: children's centres, youth organisations and community organisations. You may choose to work in educational and training advisory roles in a range of organisations including community organisations, youth clubs, businesses, local authorities, non-government organisations, museums, art galleries and libraries.
You will also be able to apply for PGCE courses in teacher training – but if you know at this stage that you want to be a primary teacher you should consider our specialised '3+1' course.
If you think you would like to work in early years' settings or youth and community organisations you should apply for the specialised awards in these areas. This will ensure you undertake placements relevant to your course and have specialised modules that you must follow to ensure the right experiences and knowledge to help you work in these fields.
As well as going on to study for the PGCE our graduates have been recruited by Notts Trent International College, Explore Learning, the NHS and many schools and Local Authorities working in Educational roles such as tutors, trainers and Higher Level Teaching Assistants.
What students say...
Student Profile: Kia Prescott, International Education
"The course has made me question all of my opinions I held before. Studying International Education has given me a better knowledge of geography, countries, cultures, global issues, politics and world history, all of which has given me a wider base and has helped in all my modules. This year there is a study trip to Zambia for students on the international module, and it will be the perfect opportunity to gain first-hand experience of education abroad.
Although the majority on the course want to be teachers it is understood that there are some who don't, and this is catered for. I have a great interest in other countries and cultures, and I have not completely decided if I want to teach abroad yet – but Bath Spa are enabling me to keep my options open."

"History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth"
- Cicero

Why study History?
In today's world, history remains the most challenging and exciting of disciplines.
You'll acquire an ability to deal with profound questions and to provide many answers that can help in the understanding of people's lives, beliefs and problems in the present day.
You'll be able to explore a diverse range of sources, periods and themes, ranging from the medieval to the modern world. And, you'll develop a wide variety of employment skills that will be useful in your future working life.
Lastly, the student of history is embarked on a voyage of discovery of how people acted in the past, but also how they dealt with issues and problems that still trouble, thrill or engage us today.
Course structure
This is a course designed to enable you to explore the aspects of history that most interest you. It will also give you knowledge and understanding of the subject as a scholarly discipline.
Year on year, we offer you a range of individual history modules designed to follow historical periods, places and persons. They enable you to study different kinds of history, which you'll view from some unique historical perspectives.
Naturally there are placements available during your course, as we are keen to allow you to link your undergraduate life with the world of work. Some of our recent student placements, for example, enabled our students to engage in real-time projects with the local schools, Bath Central Library Local Studies; Bath Record Office; Museum of Bath at Work; Jollys Department Store;The Building of Bath Collection ; The American Museum in Britain; Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre; Radstock Museum; SS Great Britain and Downside Abbey. Some of our students recently developed a free history resource to help primary schools teach young children about the Olympic and Paralympic Games; with a unique focus on Bath and the south west of England. The project was supported by RELAYS and Team West of England, but was fully led by the students themselves.
You will also be able to access a range of overseas study trips and our exchange programmes.
Like other subjects in the undergraduate modular scheme, the student learning experience in History is based in a 3-year (levels 4-6) degree programme with its modules available to undergraduate students in 40 (core) and 20 credit (optional) formats. Core modules are those modules that we believe are essential to the understanding of the subject; optional modules are those modules which we believe can give our students a choice of developing a more detailed understanding of a particular period, country, or persons, or historical theme. The progressive mix of the two types of modules not only gives our students a broad general historical experience, knowledge and understanding of the subject over the three years, but allows them to acquire qualities of mind in a variety of forms. It also leads to the development of generic and specific skills highly relevant to a wide variety of careers in the postgraduate world.

Course assessment
The assessment we use varies on our modules but it is especially geared to helping you learn. It includes assignments that are all designed to test a variety of skills useful in your life beyond University, as well as in the field of history.
We link our assessment to your course learning outcomes. It is dynamic and it's diverse, but it is very much student orientated, You'll be undertaking some formal examinations, essays, research projects, timed critical analyses, and a number of differing special assignments. Your assessment will be an evolving process, it will allow you not only the opportunity to show what you know, but what you understand and what you can do. You'll be able to access tutorials and one-to one meetings to help you in your work and when you have finished particular assignments you'll have further tutorials to help you understand the next task.
In History we are particularly proud of our cohesive and comprehensive support network that helps you to achieve the best results possible.
You'll be taught by well-qualified and dedicated history staff. They not only have many innovative approaches in learning and teaching, using new technology for example, but also use their own cutting-edge historical research in the class and lecture theatre.
You'll naturally gain knowledge and understanding of history as a scholarly discipline, but you'll also develop a multitude of skills that will be useful in your future working life.
Teaching methods
Your history modules will be taught by a mixture of lectures (which set out the broad themes and issues of a subject), seminars (where we look at document and historical evidence and where we also include student presentations, group-work, computer assisted sessions and documentary or audio-visual work) and one-to-one tutorials where you'll get individual help with your work. There are also educational visits, such as trips to London and Dublin, as well as to nearby locations. Exchanges with American and European universities are available.
Amongst the innovative ways we deliver the course to you is by encouraging the use of video on your own smartphones, iPads, and flip/digital cameras. 'Podcasting' is also used as a supplement to the traditional lectures and as part of our blended learning techniques. Twitter is also used to deliver opportunities for 'crowd sourcing' research activities across some of the modules for our students, by getting students to help with gathering information, making observations, undertaking data analysis, transcribing and editing documents.
A key aim of the learning and teaching strategy here is 'To maximise students' abilities to achieve successful career outcomes'. Our students can reflect on their personal development via electronic log-books on their learning and its relationship to their future.
'In the [Hy5001-40] seminar this week we had a lesson on networking with Ian Rowe, this was a very interesting and helpful seminar for me as I am an amateur stand-up comedian and spend a lot of my time meeting new people who could help me get better gigs. Ian highlighted the importance of social networking and being very easily contactable, many comedians I have met, especially the professionals, have also emphasised social networking and I have decided to get a twitter account, as well as a business card. We also had to draw a diagram of our own network, I found this very interesting as even though we are all quite young we still have decent sized networks. Also while discussing comedy with Ian, I realised just how difficult it is to meet people inside the industry and how important it is for me to improve my networking skills if I want to progress'
Starting in 2016? Want to get on with some reading? The core module, which all history students have to take, is HY4001-40: London, 1660 - 1969. So, to get ahead of the game, read up as much as you can on the history of London in this period, especially looking at how people lived, what they did, and where differing classes lived. The course text is Roy Porter, London, a social history [any edition]. You should also get a copy of Richard Evans, In Defence of History [2001]. Both books are available on Amazon for around £10.00.
Happy reading!

What students say...
Recent graduates:
"Studying History at Bath Spa University has proved an excellent foundation for my future academic pursuits. Prior to studying History at Bath Spa I had no real sense of my future career plans. However, the course has provided me with the inspiration, enthusiasm and skills to pursue postgraduate study. The course has also provided me with transferable skills should my projected career plans change."
"I have found studying History at Bath Spa University immensely enjoyable and rewarding. The History faculty has been supportive, knowledgeable and approachable. I found the course offered real value to my professional and personal development."
Kindra Jones, History, graduated 2011:
"I run my own business, KITHE, providing historical characters and events to museums, schools and heritage sites in the UK. Covering from early medieval through to the Second World War, I am constantly researching and adding to my wardrobe and artefacts.
All the skills that I need on my current career path were enhanced during my time at Bath Spa. When talking to the public my answers must be concise, well organised and backed by research, skills that the numerous essays and presentations helped me to develop. Professional correspondence and meetings with clients are critical for the bigger events, and I feel that my course prepared me for these very well. When I first started university I suffered from panic attacks when giving presentations, over the course these lessened until they stopped entirely. This was in large part due to my tutors working with me to find ways to make them less stressful and easier for me to cope with. I was so lucky to have great tutors."
Nicola Tallis, graduated 2011:
"I loved the fact that the course was really challenging, and gave me the opportunity to learn about a wide and varied period of history. The tutors were always friendly, encouraging and approachable. It was a life changing experience, and the best thing I have ever done. The course prepared me for my career amazingly well. I went on to do an internship at Hampton Court Palace, and I could never have done this had I not done my course. I had to give a presentation at the end of my internship, and had I not done this many times at university, I would have had little confidence. As it was, I was complimented on my excellent verbal presentation skills! It improved my writing and referencing skills, and now I'm writing a book. It also made me consider the bigger picture in a way I never have done before, and this is crucial when you are carrying out historical research and writing a book."

An animation rig I created for a 30 second Lenovo spot that features procedural 'echoes' as well as an animatable pivot for complex mechanical movements. The rig was built to replace a preexisting echo maxscript I had written that used duplicate objects and offset keyframes. The old method was functional but required the animator to constantly bake out the echoes to adjust their timing or spacing. This new rig was designed to be animator friendly and allow full control over the echo look in real-time using Pflow Box#3

This is probably the most overwhelming aspect to most people. That's why this workshop is such a great event, it's going to settle those nerves and clearly outline the understanding you'll need to succeed.
2. Work in groups to complete each activity
A group activity heightens levels of engagement and holds each member accountable. This'll ensure that you're actively learning and applying what you learn from the event, plus you'll always have support if you get confused!
3. Take away templates from my book
These templates are designed with making a successful nursing agency in mind. They're incredibly powerful when armed with the knowledge to use them. This alone could make the event worthwhile for you.
4. You will complete an action plan
You're not just going to come in, sit, listen and zone out. That's not what this event is for. You're going to come in, listen a bit and then develop a plan to put in place the moment you leave the event. You may even put it into action before you leave. Regardless, you'll be armed to take action after this event, guaranteed.

Numbers matter in every industry. A nursing agency is no different in this regard. Don't worry about coming up with prices alone, you'll be guided through the entire process.

Talking about powerful templates, a business plan is a must have for any business. Using our business plan template is going to help you outline what you want to achieve and when. It's truly priceless if done right.
7. Learn how to find candidates
A crucial aspect of your nursing agency. You're going to need them. So, you're going to learn how to find them. It's really that simple.
8. Interview potential candidates
This is a nerve-wracking aspect for many. That's why it'll be focused on. You're not going to come away with it uncertain of how to approach interviews. You are going to be given the tools to succeed, in case you're not following that.
9. Preparing and practising a script for potential clients
How could you be expected to succeed without clients? Of course you couldn't, so you're going to learn how to create a script and actually practice said script. This is going to take client hunting from an unplanned effort to a seamless routine you can apply.
10. Build a database for your target area
Unplanned effort to seamless routine, remember that? That's exactly what this database is going to address as well. You'll know who and where to reach out to in your target area and will be able to keep a documented account of all of your efforts. No more guess work, just results.

It won't hurt for any interested Siga long to shoot Todd an email. It's not to say that the company will start paying attention to shareholders now, but the effort can only help to defend against PIP's Sunday PR offensive.
Something like this might benefit us:
Hello Todd,
I've been a holder of Siga stock for many years, and used to correspond with Marybeth. I'd like to make a request. As I'm am sure you're already aware, Pharmathene issued a very misleading press release today: "Delaware Supreme Court Affirms Lower Court's Ruling That SIGA Technologies Breached Its Contractual Obligation To Negotiate In Good Faith."
Adding gasoline to fire, other news outlets like WSJ + Bloomberg are picking up this piece WITHOUT COMMENT.
As both you and Pharmathene are well aware, the Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part. It reversed the decision by Parsons that Promissory Estoppel applied in this case. It was sent down to the lower court again so damages could be assessed as "Contract Expectation Damages" only. This is NOT a victory for PIP, and it might well be a very good decision for SIGA.
I am sure I speak for other shareholders who would like to see Siga issue a counter press release. The fact of the matter is the company should be proud to say they are happy with some aspects of the supreme court's decision. Siga has an obligation to protect its shareholder's value by responding to Pharmathene's misleading statements today.
Your's truly
..from Al Palumbo to Mary Beth, SIGA consistently dismissed them whenever they took an actual interest in shareholders concerns. Todd is different?
Nice, I posted this the other day. It is already coming true...
Well, one thing is certain...
As usual, PIP will out-PR the SIGA boys. PIP will spin this as the greatest victory in Delaware history, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, SIGA will take this golden goose of an opportunity and #$%$ all over itself. The next smart PR move SIGA makes will be the FIRST one in about five years...
I remember you post...so true. Perception is reality, and PIP is working hard to shape it for this upcoming trading week.
