The latest research in equine ophthalmology is now much easier to view, thanks to joint online publication of a special issue of 22 papers.
The issue contains information of direct relevance to all sectors of the veterinary profession from general practitioners and specialists to researchers, surgeons and students, covering common diseases, surgical procedures and outcomes.
The 22 papers are from Equine Veterinary Journal, Equine Veterinary Education and Veterinary Ophthalmology, all available at Wiley Online Library.
The new publication was devised and compiled by a panel of guest editors comprising Mary Lassaline, a member of Veterinary Ophthalmology's editorial board and veterinary ophthalmologist in the department of surgical and radiological sciences at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in California; David Wilkie, editor of Veterinary Ophthalmology and professor at veterinary clinical sciences comparative ophthalmology at Ohio State University; Tim Mair, editor of Equine Veterinary Education, based at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic, Kent; and Celia Marr, editor of Equine Veterinary Journal, based at Rossdales Veterinary Surgeons in Newmarket.
Dr Lassaline said: "The goal was to provide broad access to the most current information applicable to every stratum of the equine veterinary profession.
"Subsequently, a salient feature is many of the papers included are collaborations between veterinary ophthalmologists with a special interest in horses, equine practitioners with a special interest in ophthalmology, private practitioners and those in academia, and academicians from different institutions."
Subjects covered include seven papers on new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of ulcerative and non-ulcerative keratitis in the horse. There are three articles on novel approaches to corneal surgery and a further three on corneal neoplasia.
Six papers provide valuable data regarding long-term outcomes following surgical intervention for equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), glaucoma, and cataracts. Finally, three articles present new information regarding retinal and orbital disease.
Prof Marr said the key purpose of her journal was to disseminate information to help the enhancement of specialist knowledge at every level of the veterinary profession.
"By collating the most important and up-to-date ophthalmology research into one easy resource the new special issue does exactly that," she said.
The ophthalmology special issue is available free online at http://bit.ly/1bi0RG0

US STOCKS-Wall St down as BOJ decision fuels stimulus worries
* BOJ keeps policy steady, disappointing investors
* Lululemon tumbles after CEO says to step down
* SoftBank raises offer for Sprint Nextel
* Dow down 0.5 pct, S&P down 0.7 pct, Nasdaq down 0.6 pct
By Angela Moon and Alison Griswold
NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan chose not to take stimulus measures and increased investors' worries about the eventual decline in central bank support that has supported equities' rally.
Losses were felt broadly across sectors, with the financial and materials groups leading the way down, falling more than 1 percent each. The defensive utilities sector fared relatively better, down just 0.2 percent.
The lack of further action from BOJ rattled investors across asset classes. U.S. Treasury yields hit fresh 14-month highs, the yen rose sharply and equities dropped globally.
The reaction highlighted worries about what will happen when the global stimulus programs eventually go away. Investors have also become more nervous in recent weeks over when the U.S. Federal Reserve may slow its measures, which have been a significant driver of this year's stock market rally.

24 reviews | 3.5 out of 5
Once installed the product is very simple to use. The links in the instructions went to dead webpages, so I had to look around and find the right pages. Also some of the documentation is incomplete. The product seems to work well, but the ones writing the instructions and the general information have likely only used it in sanitized settings and not the real world. They need to take it to their cousins house (who isn't highly computer literate) and try to follow the instructions and get the updates from the websites. One of the included manuals was for another product...not much help. Quite a few holes in the directions. I had trouble and I've had run my own computer services company for over fifteen years. If you don't mind wading through weak documentation, you'll probably like the product.
For what it does, it seems to be a good product.
If you need to convert cassettes to MP3's it works fairly painlessly.
I was really looking forward to using this product. I have a large library of Cassettes I wanted to turn to CD/MP3. I got the unit home and within an hour, the tapes started wowing/fluttering and going slow. It wasn't the tapes as I have 4 other cassette players that none had the problem of playing the same tape in. Also, unless you are a time expert, with the way the software is set up, it's a guessing game for the beginning of every song you split tracks on. You either have a long pause from the time you hit start and the song begins or you clip the beginning and have to start over again. I returned the product within 24 hours of receiving it.
I got this converter in July, and was so excited. I love to listen to audio books and have many cassettes that I would like to covert to MP3 files so that I can listen to them on my MP3 player. But when I hooked it all up and installed everything, it took over my computer. From that point on, my CD player wouldn't work, speakers didn't work. I realize that it has to shut down things in order to work but, it didn't tell me how to put it back, and when I tried, it didn't work, so I had to set my computer back to an earlier date in order to get the thing off my computer, and allow my speaker and CD to work again, and the files it made were really full of static, so I have not been happy at all with it.
I have a large collection of Old Time Radio programs on cassette tape that I wanted to convert to digital format. After a little internet searching I found this item on Walmart's site. I was a little put off by how expensive that it would cost, but I have such a large collection that I figured it would be worth the cost. It has met all my expectations so far. Another obstacle that I had was that I didn't have any speakers that I could plug into the back and listen while the machine was recording. I primarily use a headset but unfortunately that doesn't work. I was able to plug it into my laptop and have the recording come through it's speakers. So everything is working out since I can still use my main PC while recording on my laptop. I did go through some trial and error fine tuning the quality and volume of the recordings, and it only took a few minutes. Overall I'm quite pleased with how the process is going. The quality is amazing and it's a perfect way to convert all these old classics into the new era of media. I am very happy with my purchase, and I would recommend it to friends and family that have a bunch of old cassettes still. 5/5
Some Cons: Some trial and error required to get the process perfected.
The process is a bit time consuming
Some basic computer knowledge is required (was not a problem for me, but computer-illerate people might have trouble)
The Price is a little expensive at over $100
This product is great if you are wanting to get rid of cassette tapes but you don't want to lose all the music you purchased only to repurchase it in some other media form. The Tapes2PC allowed us to transfer all the music onto our computer and our portable hard drive backup.
The only downside is how long this process takes. You basically are listening to every tape as you transfer it to your PC. It brings back memories burning them.
After reading some of the reviews here, I decided to take the jump and try it out. I'm so gald I did! Transferring the cassette to MP3 is very easy and the quality is great! The one issue I have is that the software requires you to transfer the files to iTunes first. There is a work-around using Audacity, but it's not in the manual.
You won't be dissapointed with this product!
this is a great product for cassette owners,saves a fortune from buying cd's of the cassettes you already own,also,when not copying cassettes,it doubles as a cassette player.the product works very well so far,recordings turned out wonderful
Easy to use.
very good for OS Vista
I was pleased with the sound quality of the files I converted from cassette tapes with my new ION Cassette Tape-to-MP3 converter.
Very good product ! Easy to use East to set up Inly set back when recording tape to mp3 if you have the auto file "checked" if there is a pause of silence tape2 PC will "stutter" and "skip" at that space. You have to stop and start a new recording unless you have auto file unchecked, then it works like a charm. Great tool if you plan on archiving your tapes to mp3!
I tried a low priced competitor to this product. After sending the second one back because it did not work I ordered this unit and was pleasantly surprised. It worked as advertised. I have used it to convert several tapes to CD and am quite satisfied with them. The only complaint I have is that its software is directly connected to iTunes. I would like to be able to use it with either my Nero or Creative software. Still looking in to that.
This machine converts my cassettes into dvd's in no time and is very easy to use. I recommend it for those that are not computer literate.
This product was pretty much what I expected after reading all the reviews. It's not great, but is the best thing for the money. The recording quality has been pretty good so far, if you know how to change the gain, make sure noise reducer is on. It is a very large pain to have to pay attention to the recording so you can manually seperate songs. There is no high speed recording. I bought this for my 78 year old father, whom I had to teach how to use iTunes, but he is very excited about saving the music from his 25 year old tapes.
The unit came with some of the writing on front panel missing. Everything else seemed fine, but I returned it for this defect. Got a full refund. Decided to purchase elsewhere for less due to no tax being charged.
The instructions are vague and the time commitment to produce a CD is too long. The has to be a better way. Don't waste your time and money.
This is a nice product, but I didn't give it 5 stars because the instructions can be a little confusing.
the software was easy to download, but you need itunes account which was not a problem, very satisfied with product.
Works perfectly
Installed okay but does not work. As soon as I have time for a 2-4 hr phone call , I'm going to call their help desk and see if we can get it working okay. My computer is only 6 mo old so my end is not out of date or whatever.
This is a great product to have Ion Cassette Tape-to-MP3 Converter, hooked up with a receiver and CD player with speakers is great to have for your music system .

But surprisingly the answer is "yes" - the subreq filter has ftype=AP_FTYPE_CONTENT_SET, so any filter registered with an ftype greater than that can be inserted and will work (so long as it doesn't depend on seeing EOS). So I couldn't convince myself it was correct to leave such filters in place, though the situation is certainly odd. A solution to this problem which André talked about in the list archive was to turn the subreq core filter into a "chaining" filter, perhaps at PROTOCOL level within the subreq, to ensure it is "really last" in the chain. This seems cleaner than the current mess, but I couldn't get it to work without regressions (particularly in fast internal redirect handling). Regards, Joe

The Five Commandments of Barack Obama
Posted on Feb 28, 2014
By Karen J. Greenberg, TomDispatch
(Page 2)
Transparency, he emphasized, "promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use." Towards that end, the president made a first gesture to seal his good intentions: he released a number of previously classified documents from the Bush years on torture policy.
And there, as it happened, the sunshine ended and the shadows crept in again. In the five years that followed, little of note occurred in the name of transparency and much, including a war against whistleblowers of every sort, was pursued in the name of secrecy. In those years, in fact, the Obama administration offered secrecy (and its spread) a remarkable embrace. The president also sent a chill through the government itself by prosecuting seven individuals who saw themselves as whistleblowers, far more than all other presidents combined. And it launched an international manhunt to capture Edward Snowden, after he turned over to various journalists secret National Security Agency files documenting its global surveillance methods. At one point, the administration even arranged to have the Bolivian president's plane forced down over Europe on the (mistaken) assumption that Snowden was aboard.
After the drumbeat of Snowden's revelations had been going on for months, government officials, including the president, continued to insist that the NSA's massive, secret, warrantless surveillance techniques were crucial to American safety. (This was denied in no uncertain terms by a panel of five prominent national security experts Obama appointed to examine the secret documents and propose reforms for the NSA surveillance programs.) Spokespeople for the administration continued to insist as well that the exposure of these secret NSA policies represented harm to the nation's security of the most primal sort. (For this claim, too, there has still been no proof.)
Before Snowden's revelations about the gathering of the phone metadata of American citizens, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper evidently had no hesitation in lying to a congressional committee on the subject. In their wake, he claimed that they were the "most massive and most damaging theft of intelligence information in our history." Certainly, they were the most embarrassing for officials like Clapper.
Square, Site wide
Nor, of course, has secrecy been limited to the NSA. It's been a hallmark of the Obama years and, for instance, continues to hamper the military commissions at Guantanamo. Their hands are tied (so to speak) by the CIA's obsessive anxieties that still-classified material might come out in court—either the outdated information al-Qaeda figures detained for more than a decade once knew or evidence of how brutally they were tortured. Perhaps the most striking example of government secrecy today, however, is the drone program. There, the president continues to insist that the Justice Department documents offering "legal" authorization and justification for White House-ordered drone assassinations of suspects, including American citizens, remain classified, even as administration officials leak information on the program that they think will make them look justified.
On the commandment against secrecy, then, the president has decidedly and defiantly moved from a shall-not to a shall.
4. Thou Shalt Not Wage War Without Limits.
At the outset of Obama's presidency, the administration called into question the notion of a borderless battlefield, aka the globe. He also threw into the trash heap of history the Bush administration's term "Global War on Terror," or GWOT as it came to be known acronymically.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — For the first time in more than a century, the swimming season may end without a single world record.
Swimming governing body FINA outlawed the bodysuits that helped rewrite the record books in 2008 and 2009. As a result, most swimmers are no longer near their best times.
The 2010 record book has already been closed on long-course events without a single entry. This week's short-course world championships in Dubai represent the last chance for a new mark.
"If you see one this week, it's going to be a pretty special performance, so take note," said U.S. women's coach Teri McKeever.
Of the 32 long-course world records, all but four of them were set in 2009 — and only one —Grant Hackett's mark in the 1,500-meter freestyle from 2001 — came before 2008.
In the shorter 25-meter pool, all but 10 of the 42 world marks were set in 2009.
At the 2008 short-course worlds in Manchester, England, a whopping 18 world records were set.
"Maybe things were a little messed up before," said McKeever, referring to the era of bodysuits that helped propel swimmers underwater faster. "I think we'll get to that point, but it would be nice to make sure the performances are about people swimming faster, not technology. I think things got a little out of whack."
McKeever is not alone in her views that the high-tech suits had to go.
"When you get 150 world records in 12 months or so, the sport struggles for credibility. We used to get maybe six or seven a year before that," said Australia head coach Leigh Nugent, who believes records could fall this week.
At meetings during last year's long-course worlds in Rome, FINA opted to ban the rubberized suits at the start of 2010 and limit men's suits to between the waist and knees. Women's suits must be sleeveless and not go beyond the knees.
"My main objection to the rubberized suits was the difference in buoyancy and the fact that the buoyancy affected some people more than others," said recently ousted U.S. head coach Mark Schubert, who was instrumental in the return of textile suits.
Schubert is in Dubai as the honorary secretary of FINA's coaches commission.
"I think there was a lack of equality, because it positively affected some body types more than others," he said. "I think FINA made a good decision and I hope they stick with it."
However, not everyone is happy with the change.
"I don't think the fact that we've gone backward has been all good," said Stefano Morini, the coach of Italian standout Federica Pellegrini, who holds three world records.
"The suits weren't good for the sport but at that point everyone had them and everyone was at the same level," Morini added. "The fact that there could have always been great times and world records at big events could have been good for our sport and good to promote swimming."
Italy had first access to the bodysuits through local manufacturer Jaked, which was producing the fastest suits last year.
If the year ends without a world record for the first time since FINA was formed in 1908, there's no ruling out another change.
"I think going back to the normal suit is fair, but we don't know what the future will bring," said U.S. men's coach Jon Urbanchek. "FINA is very unpredictable. Money talks."
American star Ryan Lochte could swim up to eight events this week, and he sees plenty of opportunity for records.
"I think a lot of swimmers think they can't break a world record now because we're in textile suits. But for me, I honestly feel like my swimming could get a world record broken," Lochte said. "It's only a matter of time."
Schubert agrees.
"The records will come. I don't know about this week, but I'm sure some records will fall by London," he said regarding the 2012 Olympics. "Be patient."

In today's Academic Minute, Robert Kelchen, a professor of higher education at Seton Hall University, discusses research on ways to improve the efficiency of getting into colleges. Learn more about the Academic Minute here.
The Dallas Morning News on Monday published information about the letters sent by numerous powerful individuals seeking to influence the admissions process at the University of Texas at Austin. Word of the letters (and the letter writers) is setting off new scrutiny of admissions at the university, with many of the powerful saying that they didn't necessarily follow up or seeking to punish the university for disregarding requests. Some letter writers were quite honest that they didn't know much about the applicant on whose behalf they wrote. W. A. Moncrief, an oil executive who has given at least $25 million to UT, wrote on behalf of one applicant: "I do not know this young man or anything about his qualifications, but I do know [the student's] parents and I know his grandparents very well." Moncrief added that the student "is certainly from a very fine and highly respected family."
The number of low-income students who meet key college-readiness benchmarks remained flat among 2014 high school graduates who took the ACT, according to a new report from ACT and the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships. That number has stagnated for the past five years, the report said.
About one-quarter of 2014 high school graduates who took the ACT reported an annual family income of less than $36,000. While 96 percent of this group said they planned to attend college, more than the overall group of test takers, roughly half of the low-income students did not meet any of ACT's four key readiness indicators. The report found that 31 percent of all students who took the ACT also do not meet those readiness benchmarks. For example, only 25 percent of low-income students (who took the recommended core course work) were deemed ready in math, compared to 43 percent of all students.
New report by American Council on Education argues many college efforts to attract minority students employ race-neutral strategies that aren't as controversial as those that receive considerable attention.
A study based on Texas data finds that minority students -- and in particular Latino students -- show somewhat different patterns of selecting colleges to which to apply than do white students. The study, released today by the National Bureau of Economic Research, examined where Texas students went to college in 2008 and 2009. Minority students were more likely than white students, even when controlling for college readiness, high school quality and other factors, to apply to colleges that were closer to their homes, that enrolled large numbers of minority students and that students from their high school had attended and succeeded at in the past. These factors resulted in some students "under-matching" or applying to colleges that were not as strong academically as they might have been able to be admitted to. An abstract of the study is available here.
Joseph Lee, who was named president of Pine Manor College two years ago, has left, with little word on why except that it was a "voluntary departure." Lee took over at Pine Manor as the small private women's college outside Boston started admitting men. A recent piece on WGBH News reviewed the college's financial challenges. On Thursday, the college announced that Rosemary Ashby, who was president from 1976 to 1996, would return as interim president.
After criticism from some black college leaders, the legislation for Obama's free community college proposal includes a new grant program aimed at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions.
It's been a little over a year since Michelle Obama brought school counselors and the important work they do into the spotlight as never before. Speaking before the annual meeting of the American School Counselor Association, Mrs. Obama brought attendees to their feet when she recognized the important role school counselors play in the lives of students, and the impossible demands placed on their time.
In sharing her Reach Higher initiative, Mrs. Obama also announced a new directive from the Department of Education, encouraging school administrators to offer more relevant professional development to counselors immediately, because "our secretary of education knows that every school counselor in this country should have quality, relevant professional development opportunities, end of story."
Other components of the Reach Higher initiative -- College Decision Day and the Counselor of the Year celebration at the White House -- are off to an impressive start, but efforts to create new course work and professional development have stalled. No state met Secretary Arne Duncan's call for increased professional development for current school counselors by last September.
In addition, a 2012 report from Harvard University states "Although graduate course work varies by state … specific course work in higher education or college counseling is rarely required, if even offered." Less than 10 percent of counselor graduate programs currently offer specific course work in college counseling, as identified by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, and the number of new programs adding such a course in the last year is less than a dozen.
Some counselor educators -- those charged with training school counselors -- have responded to this call by insisting a course focused on college counseling is unnecessary. As long as the essential college counseling skills are taught at some point in graduate school, they argue, what's the value of a focused course?
Those making this argument are unaware of the pressures school counselors are facing in today's high schools, and in today's job market. To begin with, a good number of counselor training programs aren't teaching essential skills in college counseling at any point in their programs. College Board surveys show a clear majority of school counselors report the college counseling training they received in graduate school was inadequate. Combined with surveys of recent high school graduates showing deep dissatisfaction with the college advice their counselors had to offer, the time is now for graduate programs to find ways to emphasize the importance of college counseling in counselor training, since more is being expected from school counselors in this vital area.
Counselors feel particularly undertrained in essential areas such as advising students on how to pay for college, prepare for college tests like the ACT and SAT, develop a rigorous high school schedule that builds college readiness, and complete the basic elements of a college application, including college essays. They also want a greater awareness of the wide array of college options available to students, such as colleges where students take one class at a time, colleges that don't require any test scores as part of the admission process and colleges that have a proven track record of supporting students with unique talents and needs. Given the increased competition for entrance into many colleges, and the increased financial resources families are devoting to college completion, a graduate course for counselors focused on the rudimentary components of college counseling is no longer a luxury -- it is a must.
An additional consideration for a required course in college counseling lies with the new importance of a credential in this field. More school administrators are looking at alternative ways of offering college advising to students and families, including hiring independent college counselors and college success coaches as independent contractors. Many of these college experts do not have the credentials necessary to be school counselors, but do have transcripts and certificates of completion in college counseling programs to verify their training in college counseling -- something most high school counselors don't have. In some cases, they also have a track record of success in turning around college counseling programs at private or charter schools.
It's certainly true that certified school counselors generally have more training in the mental health aspects of school counseling than do college coaches. But when demand for help with college advising is at an all-time high, how can school counselors with no evidence of training in college counseling hope to compete for jobs with independent contractors whose college advising credentials are stronger, and whose services often come at a significantly lower price? These factors almost require school administrators consider reassigning the role of college advising to an independent contractor, reducing the number of school counselors available to assist students with noncollege needs. That change not only hurts a potential school counselor; it hurts the profession.
Far beyond the arguments for a professional credential, a focused course offers particular benefits to counselors working with low-income students in urban and rural areas. Often the only counselor in the building, these professionals lack access to the professional development their suburban counselors are more likely to enjoy, and their higher caseloads leave them even less time to learn the essentials of effective college advising on the job. If for no other reason, a foundation course in college counseling is essential in advancing the efforts of school counselors to advance the college dreams of low-income students, advancing society's goal of greater social justice.
The goals of the Reach Higher initiative, combined with the demands of students and parents and the realities of the college counseling marketplace, make it clear that an unfocused approach to training school counselors in college counseling is no longer the answer, if in fact it ever was. As Mrs. Obama's celebration of school counselors reaches its one-year anniversary, it's time for policy makers and counselor educators to join the party, and give school counselors the skills, and credentials, they desperately need and deserve.
Patrick O'Connor is a past president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, and associate dean of college counseling at Cranbrook Kingswood School, in Michigan.
Warren Wilson College announced Friday that it is dropping a requirement that applicants submit SAT or ACT scores. A statement from Janelle Holmboe, vice president for enrollment, said: "This policy change makes sense. We value the whole student, the ways in which they innovate and apply knowledge, how they seek to serve others, and how they hope to make an impact in the world through hard work. Those qualities aren't just reflected in test scores."
For today's enrollment manager, it's nearly impossible to go a week without someone forwarding an article about another college trying a new way to describe the difference between its listed sticker price, the actual cost of attendance and the institution's discount rate. The current funding model for higher education is broken and we can only blame ourselves for creating a norm of bargain basement pricing for those families in the know, opaque business models and unexplained annual increases based more on competitors' current price tag rather than our actual campus needs. We continue to play a game of chicken as we wait for a so-called peer to do what we need to do.
On my own campus, we've been discussing this issue for several years and have yet to figure out what, if any, changes we should make, but we do know that honesty is a safe bet.
Gimmicks like so-called tuition resets and freezes, as well as "inflation +" models, are our industry's desperate attempts to respond to critics and to try to appease the price police, when perhaps we should be discussing why we cost so much instead. These efforts are often undertaken in response to the chorus of calls for affordability, but they seldom illustrate for whom the experience will be more affordable.
Neither these efforts nor simply sticking with the status quo are acceptable over the long term -- families deserve additional information before they pay tuition or incur debt to cover campus costs. But any change has a substantial impact and cannot create spiraling financial scenarios for our campuses, either.
There are significant risks involved in changing how we discuss pricing, cost and value. Private colleges, as tuition-dependent institutions, are hesitant to try something new, especially if all of our peers stick with the currently murky language and approaches to cost and price.
As an industry, we need to work at getting it right for our students, which includes lowering actual costs for students and maintaining sufficient revenue to deliver on our mission. Meanwhile, we are muddling through how we describe our costs, often with too many apologies, and witnessing the shuttering of campuses across the country that didn't find the right programmatic offerings, words or approaches to make themselves institutions of choice for students.
As best I can tell, there are no clear or easy solutions, but there are a few key elements we need to stress in future rhetoric and approaches:
A clear rationale for a new model. Families would benefit from an honest conversation with college leaders about why unfunded tuition discounting cannot continue at the current rate and why discounting has a negative impact on a college's short- and long-term finances and bond rating. Further, colleges need to clearly describe their business model to their campus constituents, students and parents of current students and delineate how the annual operation is funded. Finally, leaders need to acknowledge that percentage increases in tuition costs cannot continue in perpetuity. At some point we will price ourselves out of the market and into bankruptcy.
Genuine reductions in cost to students. In too many cases, a clear illustration of exactly what has changed and how much less a student will pay is missing entirely from the launch of a new plan. Some institutions reference averages or scenarios for the financially neediest students while ignoring the middle class. Seldom is there a clear statement that all students will pay at least $XXXX less to attend the next year. I realize this is pretty tricky -- saying that the education offered is less expensive than the previous year -- but this is exactly what's missing and why many of the efforts so far seem to miss the mark. Without a clear explanation to students and families of the financial benefits of a new model, colleges remain vulnerable to criticism that a new model really doesn't change the cost of attendance to the student (a criticism that is fair in many cases). Colleges need to clearly articulate whether or not students will benefit.
Substantive changes to the business model and how we operate as institutions. One of the reasons many newly introduced models for calculating costs and how they are applied are viewed as gimmicky is because there is no clear explanation of what (if anything) has changed. Will changes in pricing result in a reduction of departments or student services? Is the college dependent on increasing the size of the student body to make up for lost revenue? Has the college become more efficient? Will the college open a new line of business to generate more revenue? How things will change is the key unanswered question, and our public is smart enough to want to know what changes -- and theoretically reductions -- will occur before they commit.
Sufficient marketing of any new model. While I've seen some clever YouTube videos and good press releases, strong marketing of a new model seems pretty limited. Some colleges don't want to be seen "wasting money" on marketing when trying to prove to the world that they care about reducing costs to students. Additionally, many colleges view new models as highly risky, and they don't want the hangover of a marketing rollout if it doesn't work. However, the lack of a confident marketing plan results in most of these efforts being viewed as isolated, gimmicky or done with an ulterior motive, like lowering the price to attract more students because there is excess capacity to educate and house them on campus. An aggressive and comprehensive public relations and marketing campaign would have great benefit to a college if it really does want to transform the model and be a market leader.
Clear connection between price and return. Although there have been recent efforts to describe the return on investment of a college degree, historically speaking, connecting price with results and service has been inadequate at best and incredibly opaque at worst. There are so many questions to consider: What goes into a "comprehensive fee"? How does what a student pays for, and gets, differ from year to year in order to justify an increase or not? Are the services students receive as first-year students more comprehensive than as seniors? Should having a full-time faculty member as an adviser add value and cost? Colleges must do a better job connecting the price of attendance with what a student receives from year to year.
Even if a college committed to addressing these missing pieces, could it transform how we calculate cost of attendance for the student and the institution? I don't know for certain. But a college that starts out willing to change the business model, reduce the actual price (and cost) for students, clearly describe what a student gets for what he or she pays, and aggressively market a new cost/price model -- that college would get attention. And that would be one of those articles forwarded to me that I would be interested to read.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 4, 2001, New Braunfels, Texas .. WEDNESDAY New Braunfels july 4,2001 w—mmmm 16 pages in 2 sectionsHerald-Zeitung t -...................... ~~ . ~ 1 1 Vol. LSO, No. 201 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 50 centsP&Z commissioners, city staff prepare for annexation debateFirst Hearing— ■ WHAT: Annexation public hearing ■ WHEN: 6:30 p.m. July 11 ■WHERE: Municipal Building, council chambers The second hearing is scheduled for July 18. No time or place has yet been released. By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer New Braunfels' city manager, city attorney and planning and zoning commissioners have July ll circled on their calendars. They plan to have plenty of questions to answer during the first public hearing on annexation. Planning commissioners asked Tuesday that city staff members be prepared to answer questions about water wells and septic tanks. "NBU needs to have a little sharper picture this time, of what it will cost," commissioner James Dunks said. "Last time, they just said between $500,000 and $3 million. They need to come prepared to discuss what it's going to cost people." City Manager Mike Shands, filling in as planning director since Harry Bennett resigned last month, said the city would be prepared to answer questions. Although this is the first public hearing, annexation has already proven to be a controversial topic within the areas scheduled to become part of the city this year. Residents question the need for annexation, the benefits to them and their total cost. The areas being considered for annexation include T Bar M/Mission Valley Road; Hunters Creek; Northwoods; Common Street/Orion Drive; Alves Lane/Barbarosa Road; Stonegate; Southbank; Klein Road and FM 1044; Schmucks Road/Engel Road; Preiss Heights, off Loop 337 near River Road; Shadow Hills, off FM 1863 south of Mission Valley Estates; and the area that includes the McAlister Ranch off Texas 46 South. impact study By Ron Maloney Staff Writer The Guadalupe Blanco River Authority is seeking proposals for an economic study on Canyon Lake, the general manager said Tuesday. Bill West told Comal County Commissioners that the study would investigate the possible effects of fluctuating lake levels. Comal County, the Friends of Canyon Lake and Comal Independent School District all have asked for the study in light of GBRA's permit amendment request. GBRA wants to increase its permit to take 50,000 acre-feet of water from Canyon Lake each year to 90,000 acre-feet. The application was delayed on June 20 while the state considers the possible impacts of expanded water draws on the lake on downstream rainbow trout. West and Comal commissioners also agreed Tuesday to form an 11-member committee to advise the county and GBRA on lake-related issues. "We're going to do all the things we've said we're going to do," West said. "We want to work with the county and a lake advisory committee to assess the economic value of that resource soup to nuts, the whole thing." Comal County District Attorney Dib Waldrip participated in weeks of unsuccessful talks with GBRA seeking the study and the committee. He said he still was talking to GBRA staff,Committee- The lake advisory committee will consist of: • a committee chair selected by the GBRA; • four members selected by the county; • one member selected by the Comal County Water-Oriented Recreation District; • one member chosen by the Friends of Canyon Lake; • one chosen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; • one member who represents a Comal County municipal water customer chosen by GBRA; and • one member each selected by the Canyon Lake and Greater New Braunfels chambers of commerce. seeking involvement in the process. "We appreciate the GBRA's effort," Waldrip said. Talks between the county and GBRA broke down recently because the GBRA board believed local officials were trying to force the agency to cede some of its power to Comal County. On Tuesday, West said GBRA would pay up to $100,000 to a consultant who works for GBRA to study of the lake region and the impacts. GBRA officials believe the study will take about a year. Included will be safety, recreation, public access, eco- See GBR A/5 A Yankee Doodle dudes K.

RRC chair serves up safety AUSTIN (AP) — Decked out in a white apron, Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams on Tuesday served up hot dogs with a dash of griU safety and a 'pinch of propane promotion. Just in time for the Fourth of July, Williams said he wanted to make sure holiday chefs knew the safety basics, like inspecting hoses and air connec tions on propane grills. He also wanted to push the fossil fuel. 'It is good for Texas to promote products that are produced here in Texas," Williams said. "Propane is a fast, clean, less expensive energy source for backyard barbecues." The Railroad Commission has posted a propane grill safety checklist on its Web site, http://www.rrc.state.tx.us.

CHRIS PACE/Herald-Zeitung Lake fan club keeps its cool this GBRA agrees to economic summer By J.L. MCMICHAEL Staff Writer CANYON LAKE — Being cool is very important to the Canyon Lake Fan Club. Not only do members of the Fan Club keep then-own homes at a comfortable temperature; they are also working hard to supply fans to those who may be unable to purchase one for themselves. "We are giving fans to our citizens of the community. It's just the feeling that hopefully we have been able to help them make it through a summer...it's community helping community," said M.J. Fuller, executive director for the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce. What makes homes without a cooling system dangerous is that people don't notice when the temperatures rise above a safe level, said Dr. Carlos Campos, a family physician in New Braunfels. The danger is compounded when the person inside the home is elderly, very young or taking medication, Campos said. Dr. James Bartay, another family physician in New Braunfels, said that heat exhaustion or heat stroke was a condition requiring professional care. However, if the effects of the heat haven't progressed to those stages, the victim should be removed to a cool place, given liquids and made to stop any activity. Janeta Cox, executive director of Canyon Lake Action Center, is in charge of distributing the fans. Anyone who believes he or she might be eligible to receive a fan should call the Canyon Lake Action Center at (830) 964-2324. Those interested in helping with the fan drive can drop off new electric fans at Marlin Floors, 6000 Farm-to-Market Road 2673; Edward Jones, 1362 FM 2673; First State Bank, 1805 FM 2673; Farmers Insurance, 1439-AFM 2673; or Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce, FM 2673 and Triple Peak. Trout group, river authority headed for July 19 hearing By Ron Maloney Staff Writer The Guadalupe Blanco River Authority and Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited will air out their debate about Canyon Lake on July 19. The Tfexas State Office of Administrative Hearings has set a IO a.m. hearing in the San Marcos Civic Center. GRTU wants the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to protect the trout fishery below Canyon Dam by denying the river authority's plans to take more water out of Canyon Lake. TNRCC ruled on June 20 that the trout group could contest the application by GBRA to increase its permit to draw lake water from 50,000 to 90,000 acre-feet per year. Future water projects depend on the permit, including a pipeline to Bulverde, Boerne, western Comal and northern Bexar counties. Tb increase the GBRA's pumping limit, the TNRCC must increase the lake's recognized yearly yield from 76,000 acre-feet to 90,000 acre-feet. GBRA said it could accommodate that increase by subordinating its hydroelectric permits. An acre-foot of water is 325,851 gallons — the amount it takes to cover an acre of land or a football field with water one-foot deep. At issue is how the additional water piping and possibly lower Guadalupe River flows will affect the rainbow trout. The trout, stocked each year for sport fishing, require colder water released from Canyon Lake to survive Texas summers. While not native to this state, they are intended to replace native warm water See HEARING/5A 0 Ji —is'** ■ ' - - i **jri + v ;

Looking down at the note from the principal, I started to walk toward the kid leaning against the wall. When I was right next to him, I noticed he had a dazed, faraway look in his eyes.
"Uh, excuse me-"
"Hupupup!" He held up his hand in a 'wait a second.......' motion. He got a concentrated look on his face. A paper whipped out of nowhere and he began scribbling notes down all over what I recognized as a musical staff. Enjoyment crossed his face. He seemed unaware of me. This went on for several minutes.
Abruptly, he stopped and had a confused "Now what?" look on his face. Suddenly a very pretty girl walked around the corner. She had waist-length dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I clenched my jaw to keep it from dropping and swallowed. She looked at me, then at the kid next to me. She stooped a little to get a better look at the kid's face. Then she straightened and pulled out a whistle. She blew on it hard. The kid jolted slightly.
"XANDER!" She yelled. The kid, apparently Xander, jumped almost clean out of his skin.
"I FINISHED MY HOMEWORK!!!" He yelled.
"I know." She said calmly. "I checked. You're supposed to be showing-Joseph is it?- around." She pulled the paper out of his hands.
"Hey!" He tried to grab it back but she held it out of his reach.
"You can have it back tonight when your homework is finished."
Xander sighed then turned to me. "As you probably already know by now, my name is Xander. That's Aderyn, my sister. She's normally not this cruel." He eyed her. She rolled her eyes then started walking away. "Lately Marsha and Annie keep pestering her because they're desperate to talk about their new time machine and I keep locking myself in my room so I can write new songs for the band."
"Um, ok...." I said, puzzled. How can two girls make a time machine?

Washington: The US has welcomed Myanmar's historic election but warned of "important structural and systemic impediments" to complete democratisation in the South-east Asia nation after decades of military rule.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the massive turnout, which might see Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) catapult to power, was a "testament to the courage and sacrifice shown by the people of Burma over many decades," The Straits Times reported.
Suu Kyi's NLD believes a fair vote will power it into government after a decade-long struggle against army dictatorship.
But the Nobel Laureate is barred from the presidency by the army-scripted constitution and the NLD faces an uphill struggle because a quarter of seats are still reserved for the military. (ANI)

Mathieu Montcourt, who died of a heart attack on 6 July at the age of 24, was a French tennis player who was serving a five-week ban for betting on the internet on other players' matches.
Born in Paris in March 1985, Montcourt turned professional in 2002, having come through the junior ranks with his friend and rival Rafael Nadal, who said this week that he was "in shock". Montcourt's highest world ranking was No 104, last month, though he had dropped to No 119 by the time of his death. He had no tournament wins to his name.
Montcourt complained during the recent French Open that his punishment was too harsh, saying that he never bet more than $3 at any time, and never on his own matches. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said he had wagered a total of $192 on 36 matches in 2005 and reduced his suspension on appeal from eight weeks to five.
Police said in a statement yesterday that there were no drugs in Montcourt's system when he died.

Newfangled cars need to make a little noise
Tribune ReviewThursday 10th January, 2013
Some kind of artificial "look out!" is what the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration has in mind. It proposed a rule that manufacturers of electic and hybrid cars and trucks install a buzz, rumble, rattle, or whatever it takes to quit tooling around at speeds under 18 miles per hour. Over 18 mph, they're OK; they make noise.

Self-made billionaire Thomas Crown is bored of being able to buy everything he desires. Being irresistible to women, he also does not feel any challenge in that area. But there are a few things even he can't get, therefore Thomas Crown has a seldom hobby: He steals priceless masterpieces of Art. After the theft of a famous painting from Claude Monet, the only person suspecting Thomas Crown is Catherine Banning. Her job is to get the picture back, no matter how she accomplishes her mission. Unfortunately, Catherine gets involved too deeply with Thomas to keep a professional distance to the case. Fortunately, Thomas seems to fall for her, too.

Siobhan lives in one world with her parents and grandmother. Warloc lives in his world, lamenting his wife's kidnapping by the evil Emperor Strangles. Soon they will meet...
It was always difficult to fall asleep with someone standing over you.
Warloc tried to ignore the figure looking down at him, as it had done every night for the last two years. He hated these apparitions. Every night they'd appear in his room and try to keep him talking until morning. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had a good night's sleep.
The figure was still standing there.
'Warloc, wanna play a game?' it said. Its voice was grating and cut into his head like a knife.
He stuck his head under the pillow.
'No. I don't want to play a game.'
'Come on, old bean. No need to be such a spoilsport.' He heard the figure pad over to the window. 'Wanna see how far out you can jump?'
'I can go out really far. How far can you go out Warloc?'
'Clag off, will you?'
The figure pulled the pillow away. Warloc gazed into the eyes of a wrinkled old man with green skin. He'd seen this one before. It was a different apparition every night, but there were regular visitors.
'Come on Warloc. I'm not going to stop bothering you unless you play a game...'
Warloc swung a punch. It passed right through the old man and he laughed. The man had a cruel sharp laugh that hurt Warloc's ears.
'Just once...' he said, trying not to sound defeated, 'couldn't you leave me alone to sleep? This has been going on for too long.'
'Say you're sorry.'
'Go to the Emperor and say sorry. You might get lucky. He might lift the curse.'
Warloc sighed. 'I doubt it.'
'Play a game with me then!' the apparition shouted, grimacing.
Sighing, Warloc sat up in bed. He hated these things. They woke him up in the middle of the night, they talked to him, teased him, and sometimes they fought. Violently. And nothing he tried ever got them to leave. They usually went away by themselves, after a few hours.
'OK, you clagging thing,' he said, staring the creature in the eyes, making it grin nastily. 'I will play a game with you. But no tricking me or kicking or punching. OK?'
'Cross my heart and hope to die,' the old man smiled. Warloc could see his blatantly crossed fingers, but said nothing. 'Let's play a talking game. That's not violent, is it?'
Warloc said nothing.
'Let's see who can screech the loudest!'
'Let's invent lots of new swearwords!'
'Hmmmm...' the old man perched on the bed, thinking hard. 'Truth or dare!!!'
Warloc groaned. 'No, not again. I can't do this every night, you clagging clagger. Do you understand?'
'I'll go first. Warloc, truth or dare?'
'Go a-clagging-way!'
'Truth or dare?'
'I can't -'
'Truth or dare?' the old man smiled.
'Truth! OK? Truth.'
'The old man's grin became so big it reached his ears. 'Alright then... Hmmmm... what's the thing that you're most afraid of?'
'Bunny rabbits.'
The man grabbed his head. 'You're not telling me the truth there, old bean. I'll ask you again, and you'd better tell me the clagging truth.'
'Stop it.'
The old man leaped forward, and before Warloc could stop him he was on his shoulders. Two wrinkly green hands gripped his head and started twisting.
'You said no violence!'
'What is it you're most afraid of, Warloc? Hmmmm? Spiders? Snakes? Big bad teakettlers?'
Warloc fought against the old man's grip, but he was too strong. The hands started twisting, and Warloc felt something in his neck click.
'I'm afraid of... afraid of...'
The man's face was right next to his. He smelt the foul smell of rotting flesh and fought the urge to vomit.
'Afraid of what, old bean? TELL ME!'
Warloc ripped one of the hands away and choked out 'My wife!'
The man dropped to the floor, looking surprised. 'What?'
'I'm afraid of... my wife getting hurt.' Warloc said. 'Now could you go away?'
He looked at the man, expecting him to jeer. But the mottled green face of the apparition merely looked thoughtful for a few seconds. Then he vanished completely.
Somewhere in Phalscam, England, Siobhan O'Leary sat in the kitchen. Her grandma stood before an open fridge, the light catching the lines around her eyes.
'Do you want a coke, Siobhan?' she was asking.
The girl looked up. 'Hmmm? Oh, no, no thanks.'
The old lady shrugged. 'Just me then.' She took a can from the fridge, and took a seat opposite Siobhan. 'Good job I don't have any teeth to rot.'
Siobhan nodded, not really paying attention. She hated this. She hated having to sit and be nice and normal when her mother was clearly suffering upstairs. When the two of them were silent they could hear her whimpers upstairs.
'I've always liked fizzy drinks,' her grandma said. 'I drank them all my adult life... I wish I'd taken better care of my teeth really. Still, never mind, eh?'
Siobhan nodded again. More whimpering drifted down from upstairs. 'Grandma, when will Dad be home?'
'Erm...' she checked the clock on the wall. 'He said about ten.'
'Ish,' she added.
'Tennish. You know, about - '
'Ten o'clock.'
'I'll check on you mum before I go off to bed, don't worry.'
A brief pause. Grandma filled the silence with the slurping of her coke. Siobhan concentrated hard on the clock on the wall. It had daisies painted around it. She wondered what the average number of daisy petals were. She began counting. She gave up after about fifteen daisies. This was pointless. Why was she sitting here, making this pretence at normality? She wanted to go to bed.
She stood up. 'I'm off to bed, Grandma.'
'You sure, dear?'
'Yeah. I'm pretty tired.'
The old lady stood up, still holding the can of coke. 'Well OK. G'night then.'
Siobhan hugged her grandma round the shoulders, and left the kitchen. At the top of the stairs, she passed her grandma's room - the biggest, with it's own convenient bathroom - her parents' room - where the whimpers were coming from - and finally her own room. She went in, picked her way across the untidy floor and slid under the covers. A slight breeze blew in through the open window, making a small wind chime tinkle by the door.
Now was the time for magic. Now was the time to shut off all the noise. Outside the window, on the street below, cars rushed past and late-night workers walked home. Next door played an old ABBA record. Her mother whined and tossed and turned in the next room.
Siobhan stared at the ceiling, trying to shut out all the noise. She did the thing that made her magic work. She willed it to work, then kind of didn't, then felt a weird 'thing' hovering at the back of her mind - something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
As she focused on it, she felt a cool wedge of air envelop her face. It curled around her cheeks and seeped into her ears. And slowly, very slowly, the noise began to fade.
The cold, dark silence spread outwards, taking out the tinkling by the door, the sounds from the next room, then the sounds from outside. Siobhan bit her lip, letting the deep calm sink in.
She didn't know how long it lasted, but when something broke her concentration it was too soon. The noises flooded back. She heard the flushing of a toilet, and the whimpering was louder than ever.
Grumbling, she pulled the duvet over her head, wishing she could fall asleep.
