A Day in the Life
As other Big Oil companies exit the convenience retail side of the business, Valero Retail Holdings is doing quite the opposite.
Operating 1,000 Corner Stores in nine states, Valero Retail continues to invest in its convenience store network by building more larger-format stores, aggressively growing its private label business, and expanding and refining its in-store foodservice offerings.
"We've got a business that we think is strong and well positioned to be competitive for the long term. And as long as this business continues to generate a positive cash flow and an acceptable return for our shareholders, there is no reason for us not to stay in the business," said Gary Arthur, president of Valero Retail Holdings, the fifth largest U.S. c-store chain in terms of company-operated stores, and the subject of this year's installment of Convenience Store News' industry-exclusive Day in the Life series.
Now in its fourth year, the purpose of CSNews' Day in the Life report is to provide readers a glimpse into the everyday challenges and tribulations of c-store industry people.
This year, CSNews editors spent a day at Valero Retail headquarters shadowing seven corporate managers employed in various disciplines, including accounting, marketing, store maintenance, customer service, technology, fuel pricing and human resources.
Being a separate division within a large company puts Valero Retail Holdings in a unique position within the industry. The division is unencumbered by bureaucracy, allowing it to be nimble and react quickly in the market, yet the group also benefits from being part of a big company, particularly when it comes to having access to capital.
Two years into a restructuring that eliminated more than 130 jobs in the field and at corporate headquarters, and united all retail employees under one roof, Valero Retail is a focused and lean company positioned for long-term competitiveness, Arthur said.
The numbers speak for themselves. Both 2007 and 2008 were record years for earnings. Valero Retail saw steady growth in fuel volume on a per-site basis, and strong growth in inside sales and gross profit dollars -- well above the planned budgets.
These days, the retail division is not only attacking the business from the expense side, but also concentrating on increasing gross profits and sales. "We're not sitting on the sidelines," Arthur added. "We think we've got a great network of stores, many of which we've invested in to upgrade their quality. Now, our job is to determine how we can become more relevant to the customer, and how we can leverage these improvements to keep existing customers, attract new customers and increase the spend [of both]."
Arthur is extremely confident in the abilities of Valero Retail's 8,000 employees to take the chain to new heights, and believes the company's culture of caring and sharing is why Valero consistently appears on Fortune's 2009 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For, and was named the 2009 No. 1 Best Big Company to Work For by the magazine.

California Self-Storage Association Named Best of Business for 2nd Year
The California Self Storage Association (CSSA) has been selected as the Best Association by the readers of Inside Self Storage magazine in its Best Of Business survey. This is the second year that the CSSA has received this honor.
As a 2012 Best of Business winner, the CSSA will be honored at a special ceremony held during the Inside Self Storage World Expo to be held in Las Vegas, April 3-5, 2013. The association will also be profiled in an upcoming issue of Inside Self Storage magazine.
"We are truly honored, especially after also being named Best Association last year," says California Self Storage Association Executive Director Erin King. "We believe that this is a huge accomplishment for the association and all of our members."
After receiving the award in 2011, the CSSA was inspired to put together a book of the best practices employed by its members. Titled Greetings from California: Best Practices of the California Self Storage Association, the book features 17 chapters of exceptional operational information for the self-storage industry—no matter what state you are located in. Published by MiniCo, is available at www.ministoragemessenger.com.
Since its inception in 2002, the CSSA has worked hard to strengthen its legislative effectiveness and provide its members with a valuable platform of benefits. "The CSSA has many exciting projects in the pipeline, says King. "In 2013, we plan to offer a new package of operational forms to our members along with a customized employment handbook based on our members' portfolio size. The handbook will also offer legal updates to our members on an annual basis."
To learn more about the CSSA, please visit www.californiaselfstorage.org .

"Sinister 2" poster reveal
"Sinister 2" scares audiences this August (the 21st, to be exact). This is the poster, showcasing "Sinister" series villain Mr. Bughuul, who messed up Ethan Hawke and his family in the first movie.
"Sinister" director and co-writer Scott Derrickson does the writing chores on the sequel, lending some continuity before he goes off to direct Marvel's "Dr Strange." Original co-writer C. Robert Cargill also returns.
Ciaran Foy, who's directed a bunch of short films, takes the director's chair this time around. We'll see how that goes, but truly the scares are the stars of this film.
Here's the trailer, for good measure.

Long Green Learn Exactly About Leadership With These Tips.
Video: Marketing in Long Green
Figuring what is required being the first choice people are searching for may not be easy work. Discipline and researching what transforming into a good leader means is what you need. Together with learning the how and what, you should know the why.
Good leaders take into account the future. You need to know what's next and how to get ready for it. As you can't make predictions, you can build up the relevant skills for this. Always think of where you hope to become year from now, and after that do something in this direction.
Are you currently the best choice of a group? Make sure they're aware of how appreciative you will be of these. Simple things such as thanks notes can make a massive difference. This acknowledgement can better their day, and it will not amount to anything.
Being a good leader in business, never compromise your own personal morals in order to stay competitive. Try finding choices to compete should your levels of competition are doing tasks that help you feel uneasy. There is no need to copy to remain from the game. You can keep your ethics while still staying competitive.
Good morals should never go out the entrance when you're a leader. Decisions you are making have to be ones that others are satisfied with and also you are satisfied with, too. Don't make decisions you will regret later. Do what you may think is right.
Give rewards when work is well done. Incentives can be an extra motivation, although everyone receives a salary of course. When part of your team does something exceptional, reward these with a bonus, promotion or gift. Good leaders will not penny-pinch here.
Focus on diversity within your staff. Diversity will enable you to obtain numerous perspectives in your own company. Don't hire your clone. You will have no new ideas brought to the table should you. This can also make for a failing company because of your own weaknesses.
Keep your eye on everything as a whole all the time. Know clearly what your own personal goals are. Understand just what your goals in running a business are. There might be overlap and alignment, that is good. This allows you to pay attention to both sets of goals together. The possible lack of passion will be evident in the event you don't.
Do a genuine self-evaluation to determine where your pros and cons lie. You could obtain a rude awakening if you feel you possess it all together. Be aware of areas where you may enhance your leadership skills.
Effective and clear communication with employees is a vital skill for each leader. Spend some time to give your team the appropriate information to finish its assigned tasks. Monitor the project's progress on a periodic basis.
Synergy is key here. You must determine what your own private goals are. Exactly what are your goals? There should invariably be alignment between the two and overlap every once in awhile. It's crucial that you have the capacity to work towards goals simultaneously. Individuals will observe that you're not too excited about work if you're incapable of.
Employees come with an expectation of open communication from their employers. To better communication skills, work to turn into a better listener. Don't ignore a person who has a suggestion to help make. No matter whether it's a complaint or a simple stop, suggestion and listen.
Strive to make great decisions. Effective leaders are usually great at deciding things. You must be prepared to take risks. People would like to follow leaders that have quick thinking vision, skills as well as a great sense of intuition. Never second-guess yourself. You have to be conscious that some decisions don't work, and study from that.
Keep all your professional promises. Follow through in what you promise to complete. If, for whatever reason, which is extremely hard, tell others exactly why. If one makes last second changes to the strategies without justifying your reasoning, you simply will not gain respect from anyone.
A nearby bookstore or library can assist you a great deal when you need to learn more about leadership skills. Look in the biography section for books about great leaders. Take time to find out about great historic leaders for example Abraham Lincoln.
Stay updated on the information surrounding your industry. So that you can help you remain competitive and develop new ideas, being on top of things is fantastic. A great leader never wants to get behind. Take advantage of the current trends to develop your change and strategies business model.
If you would like to become an outstanding leader, it's vital that you really know what your strengths are, as well as your weaknesses. Take the time to really understand yourself, so you are able to benefit from both your weaknesses (by focusing on them) along with your strengths. This will aid your staff follow along while improvements are being made.
You need to see yourself like a servant for your business, not the large boss. Becoming a leader means you're not just serving your clientele but serving your team, also. If you are that kind of leader and servant, you are going to earn respect and know success.
Remove any obstacle that may be hindering your team. Endless processes and paperwork might obstruct creativity and success. If you remove them, people will be more dedicated to whet needs to be done, which implies things will flow better.
Earning trust is important to as a great leader. In the event you continue to be honest and show good judgment, they will certainly learn you are someone who is trustworthy, however who work under you aren't going to automatically trust you. Always locate a way to earn someone's trust, even when you encounter a tough situation.
The best leaders lead by example. Ensuring employees know what's expected of them, diving into help when needed, and looking after love for the work at hand are actions that indicate good leadership. An efficient leader talks to workers and supports them at each and every turn.
After reading this short article, you have a significantly better understanding on how to make increasing your own leadership abilities. Choose this stuff when you're trying to find out what you need to do and share these guidelines with other people also. You improve not simply yourself however, your team too, by improving your leadership skills.

Film advertisment created by Cutwater, United States for Ray-Ban, within the category: Personal Accessories.
Highest Rated
None of their work here directly tie back to the "Never Hide" campaign theme line. None.
I know this is a whole new line of (more "hip") products from RayBan, but the ads really cheapen the brand image and make their products no differnt than any other at Sunglass Hut at your local shopping mall.
And, BTW, this Chameleon thing has been done before...
The most cool thing about Ray Ban is that Glasvegas wear them. The least cool is this, I'm afraid.
the Kodak ad is a completely different concept. The only similarities in the two ads is the chameleon.
Trouble is this idea can be too easily done in post... even if it's legit.
Not sold.
This is great! It´s going to explode and show up on more blogs that you can imagine you jealous f*cks! ;)
I like the way the chameleon looks around at the end... 'What the f*ck is wrong with you people. Give me a break'

After three years in office Cameron has done absolutely nothing to clean up the banking system
and not a single banker has been put behind bars. The tired excuse that politicians and bankers
cannot be held to account because 'no laws were broken' is as big a lie as the fact that we need
this financial thievery as it is too great a part of our economy. Existing laws of fraud and even
jeopardising national security have been violated there is just a failure of the political class to
act. Also the more reliant we become on a false economy of nominal money on computer
screens the more the real economy suffers. The current state of affairs is a gross betrayal of
the Nation state and UK citizens who are striving to make a living without destroying society.

Anjuli Stars is a singer based down here in Miami. I haven't heard from her a while, so I was definitely excited to see she has a couple performances during the Miami Music Festival, which is presently going down in the areas of Downtown Miami beyond. You can check her out at tonight December 11th at Finnegans River @ 11PM. And tomorrow December 12th at Red bar @ 10 PM. Both venues will be $10 at the Door.
And if you haven't heard of Anjuli, she was actually featured on a song by Pitbull called "Raindrops†from his El Mariel album. And actually the song was originally a solo acoustic version by Anjuli. I included that version here so you can see her vocal abilities. Listen/download below. And follow her on Twitter.Com/MissStars305

FLEXO Magazine : July 2008
PLANTS & PROCESSES fII ... o ..- fII ... a. Printers & Questions Center for Packaging Innovation By Christian R. Bonawandt Technical innovation is what drives the .flexographic printing and converting industry forward. This month, FLEXO has dedicated its pages to ground-breaking and cutting-edge technologies in a number of dffferent segments. But innovation does not lie solely with manu- facturers of equipment and materials. It isn't enoughfor a.flexo print- er to have innovative technology. Printers/converters must also display creativity and versatility in their own operations. Those who embrace this idea are-or are destined to become-true leaders in their field. Case in point is MWV (formerly MeadWestvaco). It's Center for Packaging Innovation (CPI), located in Raleigh, NC, is an incubator for creativity. Santosh Padki, CPI's vice president of marketing and business development, sat down to talk about this Center and its role in the grand scale of MWV's operation. Q: How did the Center for Packaging Innovation come into being? MWV's Center for Packaging Innovation (CPI) was created as a catalyst for next-generation packaging innovation, and provides us with the ability to truly partner with our customers on a global basis throughout the packaging development process. The CPI is located on the campus of North Caroline State University in the research technology hub of Raleigh. MWV has been granted more than 4,000 patents worldwide. Q: What is the mission of the Center? At this state-of-the-art facility, packaging designers, consumer marketing professionals and materials scientists work side-by- side with our customers to essentially strengthen the equity of their brands through customized packaging solutions. CPI leverages a range of capabilities to design and develop packag- ing that is practical to produce and makes an impact in the consumer goods marketplace, including: . Market insights with a strong consumer focus. . Business and market- ing strategy. . New business development. . Creative and technical design. - . Rapid prototyping. . Technology scouting. . Best practices. . Intellectual property. . Packaging test lab. Q: How does this mission fit with the overall business strat- egy of MWV? MWV helps brands take shape. The CPI is focused on, and driven by, deep knowledge and insights of the consumer product space. CPr's approach is to engage deeply with MWV customers to understand their consumers and their packaging needs as well as the trends and influencers impacting the global marketplace, and to develop customized solutions that are meaningful and valuable. Q: Why is innovation in packaging important? Packaging is a critical component of our customers' market- ing mix and innovation is obviously a key to delivering value- added propositions to the market. We want to design, develop and manufacture innovative packaging solutions that deliver on a wide range of needs and benefits-standing out on store shelves; providing strength and durability; delivering on key brand equities such as sustainability; and, most importantly, functionality. Since consumers make their purchasing decisions within a few seconds at the store shelf, we, as an integrated pack- aging solutions provider, want to better connect the packaging and the brand to have a stronger impact on the consumer. Q: What are some products out there in the market today that have come out of the Center for Packaging Innovation? The result of work done at the CPI can take a variety of forms, but one example of a finished product in the marketplace is Natralock@, a security packaging solution that is made from a re- newable resource-trees-and uses significantly less plastic than traditional clamshells, enabling manufacturers to reduce produc- tion costs, achieve bolder graphics, and improve sustainability without compromising security, durability or visibility. Q: Does the CPI limit itself to end product or does it focus on equipment and print technologies as well? CPI continues our heritage of driving game-changing profit- able innovations while we maintain our focus on operational J U L Y 2008 www.f I exog ra p hy.o rg FLEXO

2 A Model for the Post-Bachelor s Degree Education of Structural Engineers Through a Collaborative Effort Between Industry and Academia Abstract There has been much discussion in the engineering community on the challenges of suitably covering the ever-expanding engineering knowledge base within a four-year curriculum. This has in turn led to arguments for a requirement for additional post- Bachelor s degree coursework such as the M/30 (Master s Degree or equivalent) requirement proposed by the American Society of Civil Engineers. A comparable general concern exists in Canada that after four years of education, university graduates are not well-prepared with sufficient knowledge for working in structural design offices. This paper presents a model developed in British Columbia, Canada, for preparing structural engineers for practice, especially in consulting firms, through a series of courses organized and offered through a collaborative effort between local practicing engineers and university faculty members. Courses are offered on a part-time studies basis, and are delivered by instructors drawn from local practicing engineers and nearby universities. Students taking the courses are a mixture of recent graduates, experienced practicing engineers, and recent immigrants looking to learn about local codes and practices. A certificate is awarded upon completion of sufficient core and optional courses. The model has been implemented in the development of twenty-five courses, delivered to over 2,100 course registrants over a ten year period. The development and format of the program are described, along with some lessons learned by the organizing body in the process of operating and improving the program over its history. This model for post-bachelor s degree education could also be applied to other sub-disciplines of Civil Engineering as well as other engineering disciplines in general. Introduction In this paper an alternative model to the traditional Master s degree education of structural engineers is examined. While the focus is on the Western Canadian context in which the model was developed and applied, the discussion is also framed by a brief comparison to U.S. structural and civil engineering educational needs. An initial discussion of the need for another means of structural engineering education beyond the traditional university bachelor s degree model examines both industry employer as well as individual employee educational needs. The model development process and resulting structure and organization are then described. Key outcomes of the program are presented, followed by a series of observations and lessons learnt. Page
3 Program Need In Canada, as in the United States, undergraduate education in the field of structural engineering is usually offered as a subset of studies in a civil engineering program. A typical undergraduate engineering educational experience consists of four years of university culminating in the award of a Bachelor s degree. A survey of selected Canadian civil engineering programs conducted in 2008 showed that the percentage of core courses (specifically prescribed as part of the undergraduate curriculum) in terms of credit hours in these programs ranged from 74.0% to 89.8% 1. Core courses make up 89.8% of the credit hour requirements at the University of British Columbia (UBC), which until 2010 was the only institution in British Columbia (B.C.) to offer an accredited program in Civil Engineering. There is therefore limited opportunity to take specialized and advanced optional technical structural engineering courses in the typical Canadian undergraduate civil engineering program and in B.C. specifically. The practice of Professional Engineering in Canada is self-regulated by Provincial and Territorial associations. Each of the associations Code of Ethics are modeled on those of Engineers Canada, which contains an expectation that engineers keep current on the latest advances in technology, materials, standards and practices, and only undertake work for which they are fully competent. Currently, minimum levels of acceptable professional development activity and reporting are required in six of the twelve jurisdictions 2,3. In B.C., a new continuing professional development guideline is being developed after a September 2009 bylaw vote to make compliance with the previous guidelines mandatory fell 9% short of the two-thirds majority required for passage 4. Presumably then it is just a matter of time before the current voluntary continuing professional development guidelines become mandatory. Practicing structural engineers are therefore in need of continuing professional development opportunities. In addition, consistent with the area s multicultural population, a significant portion of the engineering workforce in the Metro Vancouver region consists of out-of-province and foreign-trained professionals. These engineers typically need to learn more about local practices and issues such as seismic design, since Western B.C. is a seismically active area. As a result of the above reasons, there continues to be a desire on the part of practitioners to improve their structural engineering skills. In addition to this demand from potential students, there has been a demand from industry employers for employee training, as many firms have limited resources to provide training for new hires. For many years, employers have expressed concern that University graduates were not adequately prepared with sufficient practical knowledge for working in structural design offices 5. A similar demand by both employees and employers for additional educational opportunities likely also exists in the United States. Sparling 1 noted that it appears that the Canadian Civil Engineering programs considered in his survey all provide significantly more content than their American counterparts. To address concerns over Page
4 the academic preparation of civil engineers in the United States, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has adopted Policy Statement 465, which among other reforms endorses mandatory post-bachelor s degree education in the form of a Master s degree or approximately 30 coordinated graduate or upper level undergraduate credits as one prerequisite to licensure (in addition to more focused pre-licensure experience and a more comprehensive licensure examination) for the professional practice of Civil Engineering 6. There are currently no plans to move to a Master s degree or equivalent requirement for potential licensees in Canada, although Engineers Canada is reviewing the situation since this seems to be a worldwide movement 7. For sake of comparison to American licensure requirements, licensure as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in B.C. (which is generally similar to other Canadian Provinces and Territories) requires the following: 1. A Bachelor s Degree in Engineering from an accredited Canadian University program; 2. Citizenship Citizenship/Permanent Resident Status, English language proficiency, and suitable character; 3. A minimum of four years of satisfactory engineering experience; 4. Completion of a Law and Ethics seminar; and 5. Completion of the Professional Practice Examination. Program Development Recognizing the demand for post-bachelor s professional development opportunities by practicing structural engineers and employers, a model for a program of courses on practical skills and knowledge was initially developed in the late 1990s in Vancouver and started in the fall of The organizing committee consisted of both industry practitioners and representatives of local universities. The Department of Civil Engineering at UBC was a co-sponsor of the program and contributed significantly to its development. This program named the SEABC/UBC Certificate in Structural Engineering (CSE) Program differs significantly from the common/typical type of courses offered by North American universities. Table 1 below summarizes some of the key aspects of the program and compares them to those commonly found in university settings. Further discussion of certain aspects is presented below. The CSE program seems to be unique, as the authors are not aware of any other comparable programs in existence. The CSE Program is delivered in a part-time studies format, usually with four courses offered per four month term. The full suite of courses that have been developed is listed below in Table 2. Students must complete a total of twelve courses (including a minimum of six core courses) in order to receive a Certificate in Structural Engineering. All of the courses were developed with the goal of providing a healthy mix of reinforcing the engineering principles learned in undergraduate studies along with teaching practical approaches to problem solving. Due to the uniqueness of the courses no opportunity is currently provided for students to obtain prior course credit from other institutions. Page

An option of taking the courses via webcast delivery was added in Webcast registrants watch lectures live over the internet, can participate actively during the lecture, and must complete the same assignments and exams as in-class students.

E6 and E8 were removed from the program prior to offering. Results The program started course offerings in the fall of Courses were initially offered in three terms commencing in January, April, and September, but the April term was discontinued in The main reason for this reduction was due to limited availability of suitable instructors at the time and to allow the program coordinators more time to plan and organize upcoming courses. Annual student registration levels are graphically displayed in Fig. 1, and provide a breakdown between the individual terms. As of December 2010, there had been 2,113 course registrants in 34 core course offerings and 46 elective course offerings. A total of 746 people have registered in the program, including 86 people who have registered in webcast courses. To date, four people have completed all of the requirements and received a Certificate in Structural Engineering. Consistent with the reasoning described previously for the demand for such a program of structural engineering courses, student enrolment has consisted of a mixture of professionals looking to advance in their careers, those unemployed and looking to strengthen their abilities and resume, and immigrants wanting to learn how to integrate into the structural engineering profession in Canada. Page
7 Fig. 1: CSE Program Annual Registration Levels Table 3 below illustrates the extensive involvement of industry professionals in both the coordination as well as the delivery of core and elective courses. 58% of the courses were delivered in a team-teaching format, in which two or more lecturers were involved in delivering the course material (Table 4). However, each course was assigned only one course coordinator, who was ultimately responsible for the course operation. A handbook was developed to clarify coordinator and instructor expectations. Table 3: University Faculty vs. Industry Practitioner Involvement in Course Delivery Course Type Course Coordinators Lecturers University Faculty Industry Practitioners University Faculty Industry Practitioners Core Courses 33% 67% 17% 83% (C1 C10) Elective Courses 29% 71% 28% 72% (E1-E16) TOTAL 31% 69% 24% 76% Page
8 Table 4: Number of Instructors Per Course Instructors Per Course Frequency Percentage % % 4 or more 7 29% Course evaluations are conducted at the conclusion of each course, using a standard evaluation form that has been developed by the organizing committee. The majority of the questions relate to the individual instructor delivery and course material. Two questions, however, relate to the program as a whole: students are asked 1.whether there is a need for this program in industry, and 2. whether the courses are useful in the industry. Response to these two questions has been uniformly affirmative, and the author could not find a single instance of disagreement after reviewing all of the hundreds of evaluation forms that were available. While caution should be made in extrapolating these results to the structural engineering profession as a whole due to the sampling of only students who have taken the CSE courses, when combined with the significant numbers of course registrants it is safe to say that at a minimum there is a significant amount of support for the program within the local structural engineering community. Observations and Recommendations While it has been possible to come to certain conclusions using the hard data presented above, the authors feel that it is also valuable to provide their own views and opinions on certain other aspects of the program for consideration by any other group that is considering implementing any variation of the program described in this paper. From the beginning the program has involved a rare combination of industry and academia as committee members. The initial idea of this program was developed at UBC and presented to the structural engineering community of BC in The structural engineering community reacted positively to this idea and started working immediately with UBC in the development and implementation of the program. To date nine separate faculty members have been involved in teaching all or part of the courses. Two other faculty members from the nearby British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) have also contributed as organizing committee members, course coordinators, and lecturers. The involvement of local structural engineering faculty, combined with the extensive involvement of industry practitioners described above has provided legitimacy, recognition and acceptance of the courses by local structural engineers and structural engineering firms. The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia has referred foreign-trained engineers to the program for upgrading, especially in the area of seismic design. In addition, the University of British Columbia is currently investigating incorporating courses from the CSE Program into a Professional Page
9 Master s degree program in Structural Engineering at the University 9. This program is scheduled to commence in the fall of To date, four students have completed the course requirements to receive a Certificate in Civil Engineering. In comparison, over 740 students have taken courses in the ten year history of the program, averaging 2.8 courses per person. It does seem, therefore, that the majority of students are taking individual courses rather than pursuing award of the full Certificate. The organizing committee has stayed relatively constant in size at between four to seven members, and one administrative assistant is hired on a part-time basis. Over half of the committee has been involved since the program inception. Formal committee meetings are held only three or four times per year, with much of the necessary debates and discussions between committee members conducted in an ad-hoc manner via or over the phone. The committee s small size and member continuity have allowed for a flexibility and efficiency in developing, evolving and improving the program. Based on feedback to the Organizing Committee, it is apparent that many Instructors involved in the program participate more out of a sense of responsibility and enjoyment than for monetary gain. A number of new courses have been added to the program since its original development at the suggestion of instructors keen to share their knowledge. However, recruiting instructors is probably the program s biggest challenge, largely due to the time commitment required. The use of team-teaching has reduced the time commitment onus on individuals, and the process of only offering four courses per term allows for a cycling of courses such that instructors are able to have some time off between course offerings if they wish. The introduction of webcast delivery of the courses has increased access beyond the Vancouver lower mainland area. Students have registered from seven Provinces or Territories outside of British Columbia as well as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Qatar, and Nigeria. Webcasting was originally started with a single student in one course but has grown to the point where the majority of courses are offered both in-class and via webcasting. The ability to reach beyond the classroom to remote locations has been a positive outcome but has required significant effort on behalf of the organizing committee to address quality, equipment, and logistical issues, and significant effort by instructors who must adjust their teaching methods to suit webcasting. Conclusions The proposed model addresses an observed need on the behalf of both individual engineers and employers for continuing education beyond the Bachelor s degree level. The model differs from the traditional university master s degree course offering in the degree of partnership between industry practitioners and university faculty, as well as its emphasis on preparing students for engineering practice. It has been successfully implemented in the delivery of structural engineering courses over a ten year period. While the emphasis in this paper has been on continuing education of structural Page
10 engineers, the model could also be applied to other sub-disciplines of civil engineering and other engineering disciplines in general. In addition, while the program was developed within a Canadian context (in which there are currently no plans to move to a Master s degree or equivalent for licensure), the authors believe that with only minor modification the courses could be used to satisfy the equivalent requirement of 30 coordinated graduate or upper level undergraduate credits contained in ASCE Policy Statement 465.

Sculpted Falls
The massive sense of scale of this place is totally lost in this photo, but to give a little perspective, the waterfall is maybe 25' high, and, I've circled Christy (red circle in upper left along the trees).The pool that the waterfall is crashing down into is in a constant, massively powerful churning motion. If you notice, no water is exiting that pool visibly. It is bubbling up from below into the next level of the creek!!
