Trade in Services
• The revised Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services (MSITS), which was adopted by the United Nations Statistical Committee in February 2010 will be released early 2011. It is published by seven agencies. Work on compilation guidance to the MSITS, will be the first priority of the TFSITS in 2011.
• The Task Force (TFSITS), convened by OECD, coordinates technical cooperation efforts between agencies to aid countries' implementation of the MSITS's recommendations. The Task Force has developed a free training module on trade in services coordinated by the World Trade Organization and with the World Bank.
• Data collection is coordinated by the agencies to avoid duplication of effort e.g. through standard questionnaires and codes for reporting the data, and data sharing.
• A UNSD web page, with a Newsletter, provides a central reference point for information about MSITS, the work of the TFSITS, seminars and other new developments. (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/tradeserv/default.asp). This provides links to the other Organisations web pages on trade in services. OECD and UNSD have established email hotlines (respectively firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com) for inquiries about the work on trade in services.
• In 2011, the biannual Task Force on Statistics of International Trade in Services, will take place first on the 28th and 29th March 2011 in Luxembourg. On the 30th of March, a one-day joint meetings with TFIMTS will be held (as in the past two years) to discuss a number of cross-cutting issues with merchandise trade statistics such as the measurement of trade in manufacturing services, merchanting and trade in digital products. The second meeting this year is scheduled on the 20th of October 2011, back to back with the OECD Working Party on Trade in Goods and Services (WPTGS) which is planned from the 17th to the 19th of October 2011 in Paris.

How to copy-paste Mathematica code into a message
Hi, I tried to send a question to the group, including the code I was having trouble with, but a simple copy-paste garbled some characters, like r'[t] appeared as r?[t].
I tried also converting the Input cell to a Text cell, but did not work either.

Two of the four leads for Amazon Studios' "Zombieland" TV series have been accounted for. That's right, kids; read on for the first details on your new Columbus and Little Rock. Hopefully these new players will be smart enough not to power up an amusement park. So dumb.
Deadline reports that Tyler Ross (Milkshake) and up-and-comer Izabela Vidovic have been cast as two of the four leads in "Zombieland," the comedy pilot based on the hit 2009 movie. The project, produced by Sony TV, is a continuation of the adventures of Tallahassee, Columbus (Ross), Wichita, and her younger sister, Little Rock (Vidovic) — four humans who band together to survive the zombie apocalypse.
Original Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick wrote the pilot and executive produce with the movie's producer, Gavin Polone. Look for more on this one soon!

Many Republican leaders in Congress such as Senator John McCain insist the Ogama administration should rush to the aid of rebel forces in Syria in order to assume leadership in the fight to end the regime of President Assad. Of course, there are many members of the Republican party who are ready to blast President Obama for doing what McCain wants. However, the American and English government announced they would not supply Syrian forces in rebellion with all "non-lethal" assistance after the newly formed Islamic Front took over facilities belonging to the Free Syrian Army's Supreme Military Council, which is allied with the anti-Assad opposition National Coalition.
The Isalmic Front seized weapons including dozens of anti-aircraft and anti-tank rockets. The problem now is that Syria is divided every which way. Solution? Work with Iran as part of a comprehensive solution that will witness the exit of Assad along with guarantees that Islamic extremists are removed from obtaining power within the country.

Globalization of science education : comment and a commentary
Fensham, Peter J. (2011) Globalization of science education : comment and a commentary. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 48(6), pp. 698-709.
12-month embargo period
(PDF 356kB)
Submitted Version.
The globalized nature of modern society has generated a number of pressures that impact internationally on countries' policies and practices of science education. Among these pressures are key issues of health and environment confronting global science, global economic control through multinational capitalism, comparative and competitive international testing of student science achievement, and the desire for more humane and secure international society. These are not all one-way pressures and there is evidence of both more conformity in the intentions and practices of science education and of a greater appreciation of how cultural differences, and the needs of students as future citizens can be met. Hence while a case for economic and competitive subservience of science education can be made, the evidence for such narrowing is countered by new initiatives that seek to broaden its vision and practices. The research community of science education has certainly widened internationally and this generates many healthy exchanges, although cultural styles of education other than Western ones are still insufficiently recognized. The dominance of English language within these research exchanges is, however, causing as many problems as it solves. Science education, like education as a whole, is a strongly cultural phenomenon, and this provides a healthy and robust buffer to the more negative effects of globalization

How to Pick a Winner
Related Links
Discussion Boards
Of all of the questions that have confronted man since the dawn of time, the most oft-repeated and enduring one is probably, "What's for dinner?" A close second is, "Why isn't there anything decent on TV tonight?" Now, a new question increasingly crowds its way into mainstream conversation: "Which mutual fund should I go with?" (On a vaguely related note, you might not have known that the most frequently repeated line in movies is "Let's get out of here." Pay attention the next time you go to the movies -- it'll be in there. You may be wondering whether all of that is strictly relevant at this point. It may or may not be, but you'll have to keep reading to find out.)
Tens of thousands. no, hundreds of thousands. no, quite literally, millions of words have been written about mutual funds in recent years in various attempts to answer the question, "Which mutual fund should you go with?" A lot of those words are advertisements, meant to create the impression that some particular fund family or fund manager is the one to be investing your money.
There are articles on how to pick the winners. How to get in and out of which funds at which times. There are hundreds of articles on the merits of diversifying your portfolio by holding a number of different funds.
We're going to boil down all of the information that you'll ever need to know in as short a form as possible -- but, just to make it more fun, we'll test your linguistic abilities by presenting the answer in the form of a question, Jeopardy-style -- and in different languages.
The answer: "Over time, the absolute best performing type of stock mutual funds, bar none."
And the question:
In Portuguese, "O que sao fundos de deslocamento predeterminado?"
In German, "Was sind dynamische Investmentfonde?"
In Italian, "Che cosa sono fondi monetari di indice?"
In French, "Ce qui sont des fonds indiciels?"
In Spanish, "Cuales son fondos de indice?"
In pig latin, "Atwhay areway indexway undsfay?"
Okay. You really should have been able to figure it out from the pig latin. But if you couldn't, now imagine Alex Trebek is holding a card in his hand and intones, a little disappointedly, "I'm sorry. The answer we were looking for, 'What are.index funds?'"
The crowd murmurs with appreciation, as if they knew that fact all along. Actually, most of "the crowd" does know the answer at this point. That stock index funds, especially those that track the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, outperform the vast majority of actively managed equity mutual funds year in and year out is something virtually everyone involved in the mutual fund industry knows -- but it's not something that they'll tell you.
Oh. Sorry there. We might have gotten a little ahead of ourselves, because, even though you've now got the answer as to what type of fund to buy, you might, if you're Foolish, be wondering, "Aside from being the best performing funds, what are stock index funds. Tell us more."
Glad you asked. Stock index funds seek to match the returns of a specified stock benchmark or index. An index fund simply seeks to match "the market" by buying representative amounts of each stock in the index, rather than hiring a manager to make bets on individual stocks or sectors or investment strategies. Index funds do not even attempt to beat the equities market, they simply seek to come as close as possible to equaling it.
Sound simple? Sound like aiming too low? It isn't. The majority actively managed equity mutual funds over time lose to the market averages. Many of the funds that do beat the average market return typically do so for only a very short period of time, and then quickly reverse course.
Stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, have historically returned more than 10% per year since 1926. Before moving on, one thing should be made clear. A lot of people think that the most popular index, the S&P 500, is the only index. It isn't. Index funds that match the broader market such as the Wilshire 5000 are also excellent places to be invested. There are even index funds that match the returns of foreign markets, though such funds have not been very good places to be invested of late.
Hey, maybe we haven't convinced you that equity index funds are the way to go. But did you know that if you listen to people who make it their careers to know everything about individual mutual funds, you'll potentially cost yourself maybe half (maybe more) of all the money you stand to save in your 401(k)?
Sound impossible? The scary story of what happens to those who listen to the experts is but one click away.

Bumthang Tours and Travels
About Bumthang
The district of Bumthang is located in the north of Bhutan and is commonly referred to as "the spiritual heartland of Bhutan", although, literally translated the region is known as the "Valley of the Beautiful Girls". The area comprises four picturesque mountain valleys - Ura, Chumme, Tang and Choekor - with the Choekor valley being the most well-known thanks to the fact that the most important temples and dzongs are found there. The lush, vivid landscape here is truly breathtaking and travellers will certainly not regret taking the time to visit Bumthang on their journey through Bhutan.Read More
As well as beautiful valleys, the area also boasts some of Bhutan's oldest Buddhist temples and monasteries including Jakar Dzong and Thangbi Goemba. Jakar Dzong is the dominant fixture of the Choekor valley, proudly overlooking the town. Constructed back in 1549 by a Tibetan, it played an important role in the defence of the area – however its biggest claim to fame is that it was the seat for the first ever king of Bhutan.
Walking is a popular activity for visitors to the area. The varying terrain and scenery makes for a fantastic range of hiking opportunities. The popular half day trek to Pelseling Goemba is highly recommended and takes in a mixture of forest, meadows, villages and sacred sites - a dream come true for nature-lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. This walk is best to start in the morning, then you can relax and enjoy lunch and the amazing views once you arrive at the monastery.

DelightJenny's recommendation
Get that groovy Polariod feeling without the hard to find film and a camera that is on its last leg! These snapy Photo Frames are the perfect way to spruce up a fridge, dorm room, or any space that needs a bit fun. You get a set of 9 molded white plastic frames with dry erase surface, so each pic can be personalized with a dry erase pen (pen not included). So fun!

Alibaba Revenue Rises 46% in FYQ1; Yahoo! Shares Rise
Alibaba Group Holding, the Chinese e-commerce giant that has registered for a U.S. initial public offering, this morning filed an amended prospectus containing financial data for the fiscal Q1 ending in June, though it did not add any information about the actual offering itself. The data follows the immediately prior filing, on August 12th.
Revenue in the quarter rose 46%, year over year, to ¥15.77 billion, equivalent to $2.54 billion in U.S. dollars. That was up 31% from the ¥12.03 billion recorded in the March quarter, and an acceleration from the 38.7% year-over-year growth in the March quarter.
Here's the income statement from the prospectus (click on the image to see it larger):
Active buyers on the company's properties rose to 279 million, it said, up 51% from a year earlier, and up 9.4% from the end of the March period.
Alibaba said its total merchandise value, or GMV, rose to ¥501 billion in the period from ¥430 billion in the March period. Mobile shopping, as a percentage of that gross merchandise value, rose to 32.8% from 27.4% in the March period, and just 12% a year earlier. Shares of Yahoo! (YHOO), which owns 24% of Alibaba's shares, and is expected to take some profit in the IPO, are up 8 cents, or 0.2%, at $37.87.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (HOT), owner of the luxury St. Regis and W brands, said second- quarter earnings fell after demand in Europe remained weak and an income-tax expense wiped out revenue gains.
Net income decreased to $122 million, or 62 cents a share, from $131 million, or 68 cents, a year earlier, the Stamford, Connecticut-based company said in a statement today. Revenue climbed 13 percent to $1.61 billion. Analysts expected earnings of 62 cents, the average of 14 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
A drop in demand in Europe because of financial-market turmoil and the sovereign-debt crisis has weighed on Starwood, which has 12 percent of its rooms on the continent. Europe was the only among the company's five regions where revenue per available room, a measure of occupancies and rates, fell in the second quarter.
"Europe remains sluggish," David Loeb, a Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst in Milwaukee, wrote in a note to investors today after Starwood announced earnings. "Going into the quarter, we believed key risks would be Starwood's exposure to and outlook on Europe."
Revenue per available room, or revpar, for hotels owned or leased for at least a year fell 8 percent in Europe, including currency impacts. The euro has declined 16 percent against the dollar in the past 12 months.
In constant dollars, revpar on the continent gained 2.3 percent. Same-store occupancies in Europe dropped to 69.7 percent from 70.5 percent.
Starwood booked an income-tax expense of $56 million, compared with a credit of $16 million a year earlier.
Asset Sales
Revpar increased 6.9 percent, excluding currency impacts, for hotels worldwide open at least a year. It rose 7.3 percent in constant dollars in North America and 9.3 percent in the Asia Pacific region.
Starwood expects revpar at hotels it operates globally to increase 6 percent to 8 percent this year in constant dollars. The company is continuing to seek buyers for hotels in its portfolio as it focuses on managing properties rather than owning them, Chief Executive Officer Frits van Paasschen said during a conference call with investors today. He said he expects to complete several sales by the end of the year.
"Compared to three to six months ago, we have more hotels on the market and have more discussions," van Paasschen said. "We think that shows a great confidence and better financing conditions among buyers."
The hotelier climbed 6.4 percent to $52.71 at the close of New York trading. The increase was the largest since Oct. 10.
Miami Beach
At the St. Regis Bal Harbour in Miami Beach, Florida, where Starwood started selling vacation units at the end of last year, more than 60 percent of inventory has been purchased, Chief Financial Officer Vasant Prabhu said during the call. The sale of the remaining units is scheduled for completion by early 2014, he said. The resort opened in January.
Marriott International Inc. (MAR), the largest publicly traded U.S. hotel chain, fell the most in almost 11 months on July 12 after cutting its forecast for hotels outside the U.S. on weakening demand in Asia and the Middle East.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/6/2014 (1103 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon's vacant South Centre ward now has two candidates vying for the seat.
Lonnie Patterson announced Thursday she will be running for city council in the October election.
"I thought that this was the perfect time to take on that different role, take on that role as elected official and represent the community," Patterson said. "Working with my neighbours to make Brandon an even better city, and continue on the growth and diversity that we have today."
Patterson was born and raised in Wawanesa, and moved to Brandon in 1999 to attend university. For the better part of the past 12 years, she has been working for elected officials at the provincial level. Most recently her position was policy and issue manager with the Province of Manitoba.
She will no longer be with the province as of next week, and plans to devote her time to her candidacy.
"In reality, my plan for the next four months, my No. 1 job is going to be running for council — knocking on doors, finding out what's important to the people in South Centre and getting ready to try to get the job that I really do want, which is to represent South Centre at the council table."
This will be the second time Patterson will take a run at public office. She was an NDP candidate in the 2003 provincial election for Turtle Mountain. She lost to Merv Tweed who was the riding's MLA from 1995 to 2004.
She also has experience on various campaign teams, most recently co-managing the campaign team for Brandon-Souris NDP candidate Cory Szczepanski in last fall's federal byelection.
If elected, Patterson says advocating for the Keystone Centre, the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba and affordable housing will be some of her main priorities.
"The Keystone Centre and the Provincial Exhibition, it is in the corner of this ward, it is a huge part of our community," she said. "It fills up our city so many times throughout the year and I think that anybody that wants to represent this ward should be a strong advocate for both of those organizations at the council table."
The South Centre ward seat is currently vacant, following longtime councillor Garth Rice's resignation. Kim Longstreet, interim executive director of Family Visions, announced in April that she will run for the ward's councillor.

Tally is closer than ever for candidates Pirtle and Hamill
The tallies between candidates Cliff Pirtle and Roswell Fire Chief Chad Hamill inched one vote closer. Last week just ten votes separated Hamill from Pirtle in the race for state Senate District 32. The district is currently represented by Senate President Pro-Tem Tim Jennings, D-Roswell, and encompasses Chaves, Eddy and Otero counties.
After a count of provisional ballots, Chaves County Clerk Rhoda Coakley [auth] said one vote turned up for Hamill rendering Pirtle's lead to nine votes. On Thursday, the County Commission recessed until 1:30 p.m., today, to allow for Coakley's request of four members of the Absentee Board, two Democrats and two Republicans, to count seven provisional ballots. The commission is expected to take on the canvassing results of the 2012 elections today. Representatives from Eddy and Otero clerks' offices said after reviewing provisional ballots they received no votes in the race for District 32.
The unofficial primary results show Pirtle as receiving 956 votes in Chaves County to Hamill's 923. In Eddy County, Hamill received 83 votes, and Pirtle 56. In Otero County, Pirtle received 6 votes, and Hamill 2.
As it stands now, Pirtle holds the lead 1,018 to 1,008. One-half of one percent of that total is 10. Under statute, a recount is required if an election is within one-half of one percent of the total votes cast. The State Canvassing Board meets on June 26 with Secretary of State Dianna Duran's office. Any recommendations for official recounts will be made then.

Max was their blind piano tuner. He maneuvered through the showroom much like Marty Feldman's depiction of Igor (Eye-gor) in Young Frankenstein (minus the shifting hump.) He would stroke each piano almost as if he was waiting for it say something.
We did learn something about appearances though. Tom shared with us that he and Alice run an orphanage in China. They rescue children that have been discarded due to poverty, imperfection, or just because they were born females. Tom and Alice have pulled live babies from trash heaps and adopted a few children as their own.
It felt like we had entered an old movie set. Nevertheless, these unusual people had hearts of gold, and they were unreservedly surrendered to God and shedding His love abroad.
Susy DeLucca, of The Feathered Nest, summed it up like this: "Shows you can't judge a piano by it's tuner."
AN ASIDE: I recently discovered that Boris Karloff was not from Russia or any country in that region. He was born in England in 1887 as William Henry Pratt. He had an Anglo-Indian heritage and his grandmother, Eliza Julia (Edwards) Pratt, was the sister of Anna Leonowens, whose memoirs about the royal life in Siam inspired the musical, The King and I.

Five Levels Of Communication In A Hyper-Connected World
Scott Belsky, Founder & CEO of Behance, proposes 5 levels of communicate to facilitate our choice of medium, vs. desired message.
Scott Belsky, Founder & CEO of Behance, made more thoughtful communication one of his personal objectives in the new year. According to Belsky:
In the digital world in which we live, it has become too easy to send emails, tweets, and texts. Upon reflection, I have been too haphazard about how I communicate with my colleagues, customers, friends, and family. Often times, an email about a problem should have been a phone call. And sometimes a phone call should have been an in-person meeting. Knowing what to say and when to say it is not enough. In the modern day, we must decide HOW to communicate.
We can all relate to this challenge, regardless of industry or whether the experience has been a result of professional or personal communication. Like two ships passing in the night, our intended message to someone can be completely misunderstood (or overlooked) if it isn't delivered in the right medium or at the right time. The evidence abounds in the form of comical, ironic, frustrating and aggravating e-mails and text messages.
To illustrate the different mediums in which we communicate, Belsky proposes 5 levels of modern-day communication. Understanding these 5 levels will allow us to better select the right medium against our intended message – and the desired outcome of that dialogue.
- Level 1: Message into the Ether
- Level 2: Back-and-Forth Messaging
- Level 3: A Verbal Dialog
- Level 4: The In-Person Spontaneous Discussion
- Level 5: The In-Person Scheduled Discussion

X3 costs an estimated $14,000 to make
Analysts also estimate that BMW's upfront costs, for defraying Magna's tooling and startup expenses, will be only about $100 million, rather than the estimated $500 million it would have cost to expand BMW's capacity. Merrill Lynch analyst John Casesa estimates BMW will pay Magna $14,000 for each X3 built
So I figure it's roughly $500 in tooling costs ($100M divided by number built), maybe $2,000 in development costs so it costs BMW $16,500 to make. So they have $20,000 for expenses, advertising costs, warranty costs, maintanence, etc. That's not bad. If their reputation were not so well regarded and had to sell the vehicle for $28,000 then it would be harder to make a profit.
I was a little surprised at the $14,000 figure. My previous guess was that it cost a bit over $20,000 to make.
Interesting read. From what I've read elsewhere, Magna did a lot of AWD engineering. The rest was mostly BMW.
I wonder if the $14,000 includes the engine from BMW's Munich plant. That is $14,000 in 2003 when the Euro was a $1.10.
That is more like $19,000 at today's exchange rate. Costs may have changed a bit too. Of course BMW is hedged at something like $1.30... ..
That article was written YEARS ago in 2003. Who knows how accurate the result actually is?
BMW chose to build the X3 thru a subcontractor because it was (and still is) running at full capacity. In 2004, they had the new 1-series and 5-series to build in Germany. Thus, it makes more sense to outsource the job, than spend millions in additional capital to expand their own existing infrastructure.
Austria does have lower labour costs than Germany. However, the price of raw materials has steadily risen since then. The Euro is now also worth much more v. the USD than it was back in 2003. There are just too many factors, in addition to the fact that the article was dated back in '04, to determine whether the article is correct.

Child Development
Child Development Questions
What is the CDEC program philosophy?
Our program promotes a philosophy which:
- Is child-centered, developmental, and culturally sensitive.
- Addresses the individual needs of "the whole child" ~ socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
- Teaches principles of developmentally appropriate practice, as advocated by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
Views the child in the social context of family and community.
What degree or certificates can I receive?
As a child development student, you will be working toward the following degree and/or certificates. Your advisor will work with you to decide which is best for your individual educational and career goals.
- Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Child Development ~ 60 credits
- Early Childhood certificate ~ 33 credits
- Early Childhood Administrator's certificate ~ 32 credits
- Family Advocate certificate ~ 46 credits
- CDA Training ~ 9 credits, preparation for national assessment by CDA Council
Note: Courses taken for certificates can also be applied toward the Associate's degree, so you may graduate with one or more certificates, in addition to your AAS.
How will I know which classes to take?
After choosing your degree plan(s), each semester you will meet with your advisor to discuss options for the next semester's classes. Your advisor will make recommendations, assist in your registration, and add completed courses to your degree plan.
*It is very important to work with your advisor to choose the correct classes, so be sure to make this contact each semester!
Advisors for the Child Development/Early Childhood program are:
Stephanie Deering, program director
Reese Campus, Building 5, Room 512A
When and where are my classes?
Child Development classes are offered either fall or spring semester each year, and are scheduled one night per week, from 6:00-8:50. That means that for each class you will come to campus on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, OR Thursday. In general, your classes will meet on the Reese Campus in Building #5. CDEC also has one class per semester on the Plainview campus, and some course offerings during 8-week summer session I at Reese. You can view all class listings in SPC's Schedule of Classes in paper form, or online at www.southplainscollege.edu
We also have some courses which are offered online, as well as in the face-to-face environment.
Online courses for Child Development include:
- TECA 1303.151 ~ Families, School, and the Community (fall semester)
- TECA 1318.151 ~ Wellness of the Young Child (spring semester)
- CDEC 1317.151; CDEC 2322.151; CDEC 2324.151 ~ CDA Training
For other classes on your degree plan (such as English, Sociology, etc.) you may also have online options, along with various campus locations – Levelland, Reese, Plainview, or Advanced Technology Center (Lubbock). Again, see the class listings or consult your advisor about these choices.
What books and materials do I need?
Each semester your instructor in each class will provide you with a syllabus which gives you specific textbook and materials information. Textbooks are available at the SPC Bookstore on the Reese campus (in Building #8), and textbooks for online classes are also sold at the bookstore on the Levelland campus. For each class you will also need a 3-ring notebook for handouts, notes, assignments, etc.
You can also find your adopted textbooks on the SPC website, using the Reese Bookstore link; simply type in your course number to see the required books. You may also use this link to purchase your books with a credit card.
If you purchase or rent your textbooks from another source, please be sure that you have the correct title and publishing information, and that you will have access to your book when class begins. If delivery date is later, you will probably have difficulty completing your assignments and may not be successful in the course.
What if I have a learning disability?
"South Plains College is committed to providing equitable opportunities for success and offers assistance to student with disabilities based on their unique needs. Any student who anticipates a need for accommodations must contact the Special Services Office on either the Levelland campus or SPC Reese Center at the time the decision is made to attend SPC. Adequate notice to make arrangements of necessary accommodations is required. Contact the Special Services Office for more information on procedures and required documentation." (South Plains College General Catalog)
- Special Services Office on the Reese campus is located in Building #8, Rooms 809 and 811.
- Or you may call 806-716-4654.
- If you qualify for accommodations, Special Services will communicate with your instructors about implementing these in your course work.
What do I need to know about grades?
Important information!
Grading criteria will be included in each course syllabus, and will be based on a 1000 point system. To earn a "C" you will need to obtain 75%, or 750 of 1000 points. (To earn an "A" you will need 90% or 900 points, and to earn a "B" you will need 80% or 800 points.) Any class in which you earn less than a "C" will need to be retaken during another semester in order to apply to your degree plan.
For courses outside the Child Development department, a "D" or better may be acceptable, but will need to be approved by your advisor.
Does attendance affect my grade?
The answer to this question is "YES!" Attendance in class affects your grade in a number of ways.
You need to be in class to:
1) Participate in learning experiences and interact with your classmates
2) Receive new information and updates on assignments
3) Receive points allocated toward your final grade
4) Prevent an instructor initiated "drop"
We all realize that circumstances arise which may prevent you from attending a class session. For this reason it is very important to attend all classes for which you do not have a valid excuse for an absence. Keep in mind that "life happens!" and there may be times in the future (illness, death in the family, etc.) when you really cannot attend.
More specific information on the attendance system can be found in each course syllabus.
How do I keep track of my grades?
As stated above, each syllabus will give you the grading criteria for that class, along with the components required to be successful. Each class will have specific assignments with a specific number of points allocated. To keep track you should record each assignment you complete and the points received. Keeping a running total of your scores will let you know how you are doing toward your goal. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to talk to your instructor.
At the end of the semester, your instructor will compile your scores and submit your final grade to the registrar at South Plains College. Your final grades will then be posted in Campus Connect (under student information – Grades) and on your college transcript. Again, if you have any questions or concerns, talk to your instructor as soon as possible.
Why do I have to have a criminal background check?
Each semester you will be asked to consent to a criminal background check to ensure that there is nothing in your past that will prohibit you from working with children. This keeps the children safe and also prevents students from pursuing a degree for which they will not be employable in the future. Basically, it is a college requirement that protects all involved.
If you have specific questions about the background check, you are encouraged to discuss these privately with your advisor or instructor of your class. Most of the time there is nothing to worry about, but it is better to have your questions answered promptly and with privacy.
What department rules do I need to know about?
As a student in child development you are expected to abide by the standards of student conduct as described in the South Plains College Student Guide. Copies will be distributed at the beginning of each semester and you will be asked to review the guide and provide your signature to verify that you understand and agree to follow those rules.
In the child development department, the following rules will also apply:
- Cell phones must be turned OFF during class sessions. This includes text messaging!
- Electronic communication between instructor and students will utilize the South Plains College email system. Instructor will not initiate communication using private email accounts or text messaging.
In addition, each of your instructors may have specific expectations for class behavior included in each written syllabus. Be sure that you read your syllabus carefully, and if you do not understand the expectations, be sure to ask!
Does CDEC have a student organization?
Yes, our student organization is "Advocates for Children Today" or ACT.
The mission of this organization is:
- To promote professional development in the field of early childhood.
- To provide service and education to the community.
- To encourage personal relationships among individuals of diverse backgrounds.
As a student in child development you are automatically qualified as a member. ACT meets on a monthly basis (usually at 5:00 pm on Tuesdays) to work on projects, share experiences from the field, and network with other professionals.
We strongly recommend that you become active in our student organization. Whether you're a leader or a follower, ACT is a great opportunity for you to expand your horizons, supplement your academic program, and have FUN!!

Snap, crackle, pop!!!
Hey, guys and gals,
I just lowered my 2007 Focus ST, 48,XXX miles onto FRPP ZXM1 lowering springs, retaining the stock SVT shocks.
Now, I get a crap load of creaking, popping and crackling when I turn the steering wheel at low speeds, and sometimes and moderate speeds. The popping can be super loud, so it really is annoying.
Does anyone know if this is the strut bearing doing this? I re-used my strut bearings, because there was no noise prior to lowering the car.
Any thoughts?
10 Attachment(s)
could be strut bearings. I would verify that your endlinks are tight and that they are not worn out.
Plan to replace the shocks/struts soon, too. SVT shocks/struts aren't designed for use with those shorter springs, that is why Ford makes matching, FRPP shocks/struts for the FRPP springs
Damn , hopefully i dont run into this issue! Just ordered my frpp kit . But ill be using the frpp springs as well
Sent from my LG-LG730 using FF Mobile
SVT springs can handle a mild to moderate drop though I wouldn't go 2" or lower with them. Sounds like upper strut mount bearings to me.
