In a previous post I asked a simple question about "What is an Access Point" - and in the end we concluded enterprise wireless Access Points look like a Bridge on the Wired side, and acts like a Hub on the Wireless side.
But there are lots of different types of Access Points – and they act differently depending on what they are expected to do.
So in this post I'm going to use some Analogies … the great part about a good analogy is it takes something the reader already knows, and applies it to something they don't. Analogies are never perfect, but they do allow us to quickly convey information and get fairly close in the transfer of knowledge.
Here we go…
SoHo Access Points – these are the inexpensive devices you might pick up at a local electronics store. They don't cost too much money – and that's a good thing. They have lots of built-in features such as:
- Router
- 4-port switch
- DHCP Server
- Rudimentary QoS
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Oh, and they also do Wi-Fi …
In the analogy of education and teaching – these would be the Home School Parents . Very good at teaching a small group of students, but also involved in doing the laundry, cleaning the house, and fixing dinner as well as teaching their children. Great for a small, single house – but doesn't scale well at all.
Next up is a 'Fat' – or Autonomous Access Point from an Enterprise-class vendor. Now we haven't seen any of these for many years. Almost all vendors have left this market and moved on to the light-weight Access Point that demands a controller.
But in our same teaching analogy, this was the One-Room Schoolhouse Teacher – able to work independently, but totally unmanaged by the district office with no oversight. It took a lot of driving around to each school-house in order to instruct these teachers what to teach.
Then we'll move on to the current crop of Light-Weight or 'Thin' Access Points. These were designed to overcome the unmanageable Fat APs – and work with, and are required to have a Controller. The Access Points cost less because they have less intelligence and require the controller to offload much of the work of an Access Point.
In our same teaching analogy, these would be student teachers. They aren't too good on their own, but if you have an 'uber-teacher' watching over, and managing the student teachers – you can still educate the students. But every time a student has a difficult question, the student teacher can't handle it on their own, and must refer back to the 'uber-teacher' for answers.
Some controller-based WLAN vendors have student teachers that must send EVERY question from a student back to the 'uber-teacher' and have no autonomy at all. Whereas other WLAN vendors are trying to get away from that bottleneck of having all packets being sent back to the controller and are working toward more distributed forwarding models. Not getting rid of the 'uber-teacher' – just having their student teachers take more responsibility.
Finally we get to the current state-of-the-art Cooperative Control Access Points. These have the autonomy to work independently – but are easily managed. Aerohive's Access Points fit in this final category.
Staying with our teacher analogy – these would be teachers who have their Masters in Education, teaching certificates, and years of teaching experience. Plus they all get along famously … no fighting or internal teacher politics. Each teacher can teach any course, and if a next-classroom-over teacher called in sick, each teacher can take over the load until their colleague returns.
Under cooperative control – the school district merely sends instructions on what curriculum is needed, and the teachers work out between themselves to accomplish the teaching goals.
So there is your review:
SoHo Access Points
– Home School Parents
Fat Access Points
– One-Room Schoolhouse Teachers
Thin Access Points
– Student Teachers with an 'uber-teacher' supporting them
Cooperative Control Access Points
– Educated Experienced Teachers Working Together
Pretty simple once you realize how they all work … Which type of teacher would you want teaching your children?

The crew of Moya encounter Gahv and his companion Fento after Talyn destroys one of their freighters. The Plokavians capture John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, Stark, Ka D'Argo and Zhaan and hold them on a platform above a large open space with no way to escape. Plokavians are passionate about justice, as well as extremely violent, ugly, bad smelling and dealers of arms and Forbidden Cargos, such as Novatrin gas. Gahv and Fento interrogated each of their captives one by one in order to seek out the individual responsible for the destruction of their other trade ship.
They questioned each member of Moya's crew about what had taken place on Talyn. Each account differed, leading Gahv and Fento to believe everyone was lying. Gahv informed the crew they would all be executed if the perpetrator didn't confess. In the end Stark confessed to firing the weapons on Talyn to save the rest of the crew. Satisfied with his confession, Gahv and Fento used the Plokavian Dispersal on Stark and released the rest of the crew.
- Tell us who the guilty one is, and we'll spare the others.
- We want justice!
- (To Stark): You were our prime suspect from the start.

Archer Brady Ellison wins bronze medal, earns honor
Brady Ellison won the men's individual bronze medal in recurve at the World Archery championships. Ellison, ranked number one in the world, narrowly missed the final. In the semifinals, he battled South Korean Kim Woojin to a 5-5 tie. Both shot 10s in the shootoff, but Kim's was closest to the center.
Ellison won the bronze-medal match, beating Im Dong Hyun from South Korea in a 6-0 shutout.
"I shot a very good arrow at the shoot off in the semifinal; I knew it was a good arrow," explained Ellison when talking to World Archery Communications today. "It was a 10, but it was not close enough to the center. It would have been better to win the gold, but I did my best so I am happy with the bronze. You know, you can't always win, people make mistakes and so do I. It was awesome to be here anyway!"
He is USA TODAY's Olympic Athlete of the Week.
Other athletes receiving consideration this week
Both the U.S. men's saber team and the women's foil teams won gold medals at the Pan American Zonal championships capping a historic competition. This is the first time a U.S. team has swept all 12 medals during the six-day championship.
"They brought their best performances all week. They peaked at the right time and this is a fantastic indicator of the level of talent of all of our teams and gives us a level of confidence going into the world championships in Catania in October," said USA Fencing Executive Director Greg Dilworth.
The fourth-seeded beach volleyball team of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers won a silver medal at the 1 to 1 Energy Grand Slam. They were beaten by the top-seeded Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti of Brazil, 22-20, 21-19 in 42 minutes.
"It's disappointing, especially because we were the defending champions in Gstaad," Rogers told the FIVB. "We had several opportunities but a silver medal on the World Tour is still significant. Phil and I both would do some things differently, but when a match is as close as this one was, little things can change the outcome and it did today. We'll keep moving on and hope to learn more from our mistakes."
The U.S. women's national volleyball team beat Cuba 25-21, 25-16, 25-13 to win the bronze-medal at the X Women's Pan American Cup in Juarez, Mexico. Nancy Metcalf led the scoring with 18 points (15 kills on 22 swings, two aces and a block).
Team USA converted 59.5 percent of its attacks for kills as part of a .481 hitting efficiency and only had eight errors in the match. By reaching the semifinals, the U.S. garnered a berth 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix.

Author has written 5 stories for Phantom of the Opera, and Phantom of the Opera.
It's Me!
Hello, I am the amazing and elusive bo-leigh bella ( just kidding, I'm not that conceited). I am a teenage girl who loves writing, singing, and acting. If you read my stories please, please, please review! Reviews make all the writer's block and painful lapses in any ideas bearable.
A little bit about me: I am a very weird kind of person. I am very social and outgoing yet everyday I need my time in solitude. (Fanfiction has really helped with that :) ) I love musicals, especially not so cheesey ones like Phantom of the Opera. Such a great story. Any friends I have are treasured for they can look past my quirks and like the strange but fun girl beneath. I have addiction prone tendencies. If I like something, I LOVE it. Any activity can quickly escalate into an undeniable obsession if I enjoy it. I exercise this nature mainly in literature, movies, and the few video games I actually enjoy. For this very reason I have decided to never try alcohol or drugs. No judgments for others who do. I am just honestly apprehensive about what could happen. I am inquisitive and easily amused. Life itself tends to entertain me; a happy-go-lucky nature I attribute to being a middle child. I feel fairly intelligent, yet I know I can be lacking in common sense on occasion. I have few things I am truly proud of. But those I have pride in, I truly have a passion for. Singing has been a love of mine since before I can remember. I'm told that as soon as I could talk, I was singing. I perform in high school drama and in the church choir on Sundays. But the times I express myself best through the beauty of music are on my back porchswing. I can belt or hum or sing in any manner, but it isn't for anyone else's enjoyment. Its mine. This passion has easily flowed into my writing POTO fics. Describing a virtuoso and his talented and eager to please musical protege is wonderful. My own experiences especially help with writing Christine, the student.
Personal Responses to My Lovely Reviewers
Much love to all of you!
So sorry this was late, but here are your responses. Thank you for all of the sweet reviews. I adore them all!
Hugabouv- Sorry. Hehe I couldn't help it. Cliffies are just so tempting. I'm glad I left you wanting more though and I'm so happy you will be reading the next chapter. Really that is wonderful to hear!
Nami Swannn- Yes, that almost kiss was so fun to write. Happy you still thought it sweet! Oh and me too! I wish someone could create Erik worthy pieces. That would be amazing!
Viviane Ravenheart- I know! Erik is either overzealous or over cautious. Hehehe I love his extremes.
Everyonedeserveslove- I am assuming that's a good thing? And thanks, I was trying to make it pretty…intense I suppose.
Kumon5- Glad you liked my version of his venting. And I never thought of him as a music therapist. Interesting idea. Then again, he has so many issues idk if he could handle any one else's. ;)
Sheepshanks- Aww…thank you so much! I'm so excited that you are enjoying this evolution of their relationship. And you've no idea how wonderful it is to hear that you will patiently await my updates. I cannot thank you enough for that. Thanks for the well wishes. I made an A in my first summer class.
Toriana- Thank you for your understanding about my obligations and for calling my writing "excellent", I really appreciate it. Also thank you for the advice. I try to write as much as I am able. This chapter however was particularly difficulty.
Vampgirliegirl- Thanks for your review! And I shall try my best!
CaptainHooksGirl- Thank you for liking my Erik's jealousy of an inanimate objects thing. I thought it sort of strange at first, but it seemed so him, ya know? And I feel the same way! Writing is so personal, so intimate; it is nerve-racking sharing it with others because so much of yourself has been put into the work. So I suppose we are a lot like Erik in that way. :)
Phanatic01- Oh! Thank you for saying it was "worth the wait". That is one of the sweetest things you could've said! And I'm glad you enjoyed Erik transition as he played. I really wanted that the read. And funny you should say so. I actually wrote that scene without influence from Kay but I read the novel while writing this newest update. I know the scene you mean. Mine was a little less sexual and punishing but it was very similar. I really enjoyed her version of Phantom though! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Angel's wings- (1st review)How sweet your review was! "Gaining your heart and soul" what a lovely phrase and how kind you are to say so! I do hope you enjoy this next chapter and thank you for asking for others. And I tried to update but Summer is half over. :( My apologies. Also, no need to say sorry. I am utterly obsessed with him as well. If you wish, check out his tumblr for your amusement. (2nd review) You have quite a talent for charming and flattering reviews. "Cannot be outdone by the gods" I mean you should be a poet or lyricist. I truly appreciate your well wishes. I shall need that pixie dust so I thank you for it! :)
brook.gassmanchickenzombies- Oh I'm so happy it is your favorite! I shall try to update when I can. I won't stop writing though, not if I can help it. Hope to hear from you again!
SiriusMarleneXWolverineRogue- It makes me smile to hear that you love it. I try my best. And it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed my other story as well. I will update when I can but I shall definitely continue it. :)
Guest- I know I haven't and I'm sorry! I hope you will still read this. And I don't disclose too much info but a small community college in my area. (Sorry)
Guest- Sorry it was late! But here is theupdate!
Finally a huge thanks to the talented, sweet, wonderful, supportive Starcrier, who never fails to give me the confidence I need to continue to post and write this story. Thank you for your reviews, constructive criticism and positive feedback! Love you darling!
About me as an author: Before fanfiction, I have written thousand word plus papers only for school. But now writing has become a beautiful and extremely fulfilling obsession. My strengths, I have been told by reviewers, are my descriptions and characterization. Most readers seem to agree that Erik is my strongest to write of. That pleases me to no end; if you are a reviewer who said so, thank you. Erik is a fascinating person. His emotions are so raw and powerful. He is unpredictable, even to me. As an author, I do not create actions. I set my characters loose in a situation and write out what I see. I feel like I have very little control over them. That is why it is so exciting. I am constantly surprised by my imagined scenarios. I relate specifically to Erik because he is so impassioned, so convicted in everything he feels and values.
Writing Christine proves to be more challenging sometimes. In my mind, she is a mix of woman and child. So writing from her perspective has to demonstrate both sides. Also her loyalty is so skewed. So her thoughts are constantly contradicting. Kind of funny if it didn't cause so many problems.
Finally Raoul, yes I do write from the fop's point of view (sometimes). However, I am very adamant not to make him into a character that in reality, he could never be. Raoul does care for Christine, unfortunate, but true. Therefore I cannot see him beating her or purposefully being cruel to her. It isn't in his gentleman's constitution to do so. So I write him out to be the lovesick puppy that he is. I hope this doesn't offend anyone.
I love Erik and Christine as a couple. No offense to those who like Raoul, but I will never write a Raoul and Christine love story (or Erik and Meg for that matter). My thought processes are very scatterbrained so I was really worried about writing an actual story. I was afraid that my ideas would not make sense when tried to be organized into some semblance of order. Only the encouraging reviews and support from my beta has convinced me otherwise.
Phantoms I Adore: Ramin Karimloo for Love Never Dies and Phantom of the Opera, Gerard Butler Phantom of the Opera 2004, and Charles Dance 1990s Phantom of the Opera Mini Series.
Lost Love is a tale I thought worthy of being told. I never knew telling it could be so difficult. But the rewards have been so worth it and I have grown very attached to it. Winner of favorite chapter poll: Chapter 7-Healing Hands thanks to everyone who cast a vote :)
Me performing a solo from Wicked- No Good Deed (in response to a reader asking if I sing)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgzJ5P5oUBg
COVER ART!-Recently a wonderful artist on deviantART by the name of Muirin007 allowed me permission to use some of her astounding work as covers for my stories (also one is my profile picture). Here's the link to her page, please check out more of her beautiful art :) Also, let her know I sent you! (if you don't mind)

Our Big Appliances Are Made in U.S.A.
Published: March 18, 1991
To the Editor:
While the basic point of "In U.S. Technology, a Gap Between Arms and VCR's" (front page, March 4) may be valid, Raytheon Corporation's major appliance business was a poor example to choose.
The United States major appliances industry is an example of successful international competitiveness. Of the 46 million washers, dryers, refrigerators and other major appliances marketed annually in the United States only 17 percent are imports. Why? Because producers such as Raytheon's appliance group have kept quality up and prices down, while advancing innovation. There has been no niche left for the Japanese and others to exploit.
A recent article in Productions magazine observed that a 14-cubic-foot General Electric refrigerator sold for $525 in 1927. Adjusted for inflation, that refrigerator would cost $8,100 today. Yet, a 16-cubic-foot G.E. refrigerator can be purchased today for $499.
United States defense spending may contribute to a poor competitive posture in some of our industries, but the major appliance industry is not one of them. ROBERT L. HOLDING President, Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers Chicago, March 4, 1991

Question about Acer Aspire™ T180 PC Desktop
I need to know how to reset my HP Desktop to factory settings because it is frozen on a blue screen with yellow writing stating that I need to run an Anti-Virus disk!
Posted by ordonezl on
hmm..factory settings..that would be from the bios setup, methinks..F2 on start..
Turn off system, remove the small 3 volt battery on the motherboard for about an hour and then re-insert and reboot.
- or -
Remove the CMOS jumper for 5 minutes and re-insert then reboot.
This should clear it up and let you get past that dreaded HP INVENT Blue screen. :-)

Tips for a great answer:

If the handset is locked, frozen, or unresponsive, you can perform a master reset it using the hardware keys instead of the menu. A master reset restores the original factory settings and may erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available). To perform a master reset using hardware keys, follow these steps:
1. If the device is responding at all, back up your data before proceeding.
Note: The device must be turned on to synchronize or transfer files.
2. Turn off the device.
Note: If the device is unresponsive and does not turn off, remove and then reinsert the battery.
3. Press and hold the Home key and the Power key for at least 25 seconds, even if the Startup screen appears.
4. Release the keys when you see a black screen with a warning sign.

If STARS is the gold standard of campus sustainability assessment, we're getting robbed.
By Dave Newport, LEED AP
OK, so STARS isn't perverted. The STARS website hasn't been hacked with porn. Not getting kinky.
Just couldn't resist a salacious headline. So cheap.
But STARS' data are being perverted. That perversion is impacting all of us negatively.
And there's a really easy fix. I'll come back to that.
First, the table below lays out the perversion. Listed are the top 25 campuses based on their STARS' scores compared with some third parties that use STARS' data in deriving their rankings[see footnotes].
A quick scan of the relative rankings reveals all sorts of anomalies. Highly ranked STARS campuses are ranked low—using the same data—or left out of other rankings entirely. And vice versa.
A couple other curiosities pop out. With great and sincere respect to the work done there, UC-Irvine, with a STARS score below any in the Top 25 (66.00), has twice been named Sierra #1 school. Likewise, Sierra's #1 school in 2013, UCONN, submits STARS' data as a Reporter (no score or rating).
Yet Colorado State University, with the highest ever STARS score and the first and only campus to achieve a STARS Platinum rating thus far—is only #4 in Sierra and #12 in Princeton Review?
That's preposterous—and perverted. No, I don't work at CSU; supposedly they are my campus' arch-rival. Whatever.
I'm just saying: fair is fair.
Curiouser and curiouser
To be sure, anybody has the right to interpret data as they see fit. And any rankings are inherently subjective; there are few perfect and absolute measurement standards (planet's distance from the Sun?). Neither do any rankings normally portend future performance. LEED buildings are ranked at birth, but can go bad if they are not given appropriate care and feeding. Most important, the rankings should be built as best they can on a foundation of quality data and interpretation, as STARS is.
The question of journalists' basis for rankings have been called into question before. Sustainabilistas organized and asked third parties for major reforms in their rankings back in the day. In the interest of credibility, journalists' opinions should be supported by a transparent methodology.
Yet in some instances "it's not always clear how those scores are calculated," the Chronicle of Higher Education reported in 2010. "Two years ago, a researcher at Sierra revealed to the Chronicle that the magazine's ratings were assigned somewhat haphazardly, based on the impressions of staff members." Sierra then fired back at the Chronicle.
[A opportunity for comment from Sierra Editor Jason Mark was not responded to prior to this blog's publication time.]
For its part, Sierra seems to have tried to improve its methodology and transparency in the years since. They publically reported a major faux pas in their 2015 calculations, correcting it after it had gone to press. Indeed, Sierra has reported computational errors in every ranking every year since 2012. But to their credit they 'fessed up; that takes stones. And this year, Sierra's new Editor announced they are using a consultant to provide data analysis—and they are adding questions about divestment. Kudos for both.
Yet spurious rankings promoted by iconic publications such as Sierra and Princeton Review can have a negative impact on campuses that score curiously low. Sustainability budgets and personnel decisions can suffer from perceived underachievement. Administrators wonder what they have to do to be recognized; likewise, they can—and have--questioned the effectiveness of using STARS at all if what they receive from STARS data are bad marks from third parties.
Same for overachievement; campuses that may not be scoring as high in STARS' terms but are highly ranked by third parties may be dis-incentivized from further accomplishment in the minds of some administrators. Things have come too easy. Or other campuses that are busting it to wring out every possible STARS point may look at the high ranking of lower-scoring STARS schools and wonder if there is a better way to shine.
I'm undoubtedly not the only sustainabilista that has gotten questions from administrators when my campus (the first STARS Gold and a former Sierra #1) isn't favorably ranked in some publication—and so-and-so campus was.
I hate that question.
The STARS 'gold standard?'
Eight years ago as STARS was emerging the Chronicle reported that "many think STARS will become the gold standard of sustainability evaluations."
But has it?
Certainly the opinions of a few journalists can't be credibly compared with the broad input and consensus of experts in the field such as STARS represents. STARS is open-source, inclusive, informed by subject matter experts (you), democratic, and constantly improving. Because of that, STARS is literally bought into by over 700 campuses that have paid to play and invested substantially in the data collection and quality control STARS requires.
Third parties can boast none of that.
Then recently I was meeting with my Provost to plan our next STARS submittal when he popped the question. He's a supporter of STARS, a scientist and researcher that likes data, and has championed our submittals in the past. His question was a fair one, but one I had never been asked.
"What is the ROI (Return On Investment) of STARS?"
I had just outlined the 18-month process it typically takes us to complete a STARS submittal. Along the way we invest significant personnel time/cost, we divert from other activities, we pay a fresh pair of eyes consultant to review the results, and incur other direct and indirect costs. So his question was stimulated by process costs, not an evaluation of sustainability's efficacy.
I mumbled some perfunctory STARS cheerleader propaganda—and then told him we'd come back with an analysis.
Thinking about it since, my answer is that as an instrument that measures campus sustainability, STARS is unsurpassed. As an architecture of the elements needed to advance sustainability, it is all there—and for the most part weighted appropriately.
However, as an instrument that contributes to our reputation, it is ineffective. STARS does not publish rankings so our results are under-promoted, at a minimum. So the deep and quality data we all work hard to compile in our STARS report is taken by high visibility third party publications and perverted. They change the weightings of STARS credits to suit their own purpose—and scramble the results.
That's good for them, bad for us.
Instead of seeing credible, studied, and informed rankings based on the best methodology derived by experts in the field, the public gets arbitrary results that are promoted widely. Sierra even touts that their "ranking and the stories surrounding it draw national media attention from outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, NPR, and many others." And the problem is compounded because prospective freshman and campus administrators surf Princeton Review. Greenies surf Sierra.
But only sustainabilistas surf STARS.
If STARS is the gold standard of campus sustainability assessment, we're getting robbed.
Not a good ROI.
The STARS ruse
At STARS' genesis, we took the decision to not rank campuses, just rate them. The consensus was campuses would be more inclined to use STARS for its intended use—driving campus sustainability—if the sustainability movement wasn't designed to be an arms race of rankings.
I concurred with the policy then. And perhaps that is, in part, why 700+ campuses are on the STARS team. It was the best thing to do at the time.
But that policy also was a bit of a ruse. Obviously, STARS does rank schools, albeit in a very categorical manner. Platinum schools rank higher than Gold that rank higher than Silver, and so on. But we steadfastly stayed away from producing more granular rankings. That Jedi approach remains the policy to this day.
In the current climate of data being appropriated and respun by novices, that policy increasingly undercuts STARS' goal to "enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of measurements developed with broad participation from the international campus sustainability community."
Indeed, the comparisons are not being made from STARS data by STARS standards. The comparisons are being skewed by Sierra that goes to 1.2-million readers and says its green schools issue is its most popular, and by Princeton Review that claims 1.5-million web visits a month—most of them prospective freshman and/or their parents.
STARS touts that "more than 700 institutions on six continents are already using the STARS Reporting Tool, making STARS the most widely recognized standard for higher education sustainability in the world." [emphasis added]
But it's not. That statement is inaccurate. See above.
Likewise, STARS' website proclaims the number one reason to participate is to "gain international recognition for your sustainability efforts."
But that recognition is among STARS wonks. The rest of the planet is reading Princeton Review and Sierra.
Time for a new chapter.
Claim your lane
There's no way anybody can convince the third parties to accept and publish the STARS ranking scores verbatim. Not going to happen.
Neither is US News & World Report waiting at the presses to ink up the STARS scores and publish them with their rankings. Wish that they would. Maybe someday.
Frankly, we want third parties to be interested in our work and promote it--so long as there is a reference standard that sets a credible bar for all. Then when others specialize their rankings and commentary to suit their own niche or perspective we don't diminish the breadth of our work.
So the big fix is easy.
STARS simply needs to move past the charade that it doesn't rank. If STARS is, as the website touts, "the most widely recognized standard for higher education sustainability in the world," then act like it. STARS should clearly state that these rankings are the most credible and definitive sustainability standards in the world.
Because they are.
STARS needs to claim that territory or abdicate its influence to a room of journalists somewhere. In fact, Sierra is already claiming the space--and I don't blame them for staking out unclaimed territory. They "believe [Sierra's] ranking provides a broad and accurate picture of how schools are performing in terms of sustainability."
Sierra's ranking, however well intended, provides a picture of how an environmental group's journalists think higher education should operate sustainably. But they don't have one campus sustainability expert on their staff. STARS owns the franchise on well-studied, credible, definitive campus sustainability data.
STARS should stop giving away its franchise.
To its credit, STARS is testing a rankings approach—and so far, the reception has been very good. Last year, STARS published its first Sustainable Campus Index and received significantly more media attention as a result, according to STARS staff. They also added overall score as an exportable data point in the "Score Display" data view so that it is easier for interested parties to compile STARS rankings, as I did. One sustainabilista at a very credible campus told me that these STARS recent moves have compelled them to submit full-on STARS reports now—so his campus could be ranked. So, the appetite for STARS rankings may be there.
Or it may not. More so than a broken clock, I am wrong more than twice a day, I am told frequently before I even leave the house in the morning...
So, what do you think? At the right of this blog is a quick poll that will broad brush an opinion on which way to go. Please register your opinion. [1.28.16 Poll closed. 81% in favor]
But if you subscribe to STARS' credibility, as I do, then this conclusion is inescapable: We're going to get ranked by somebody anyway. Why not by the best?
Even if you have questions about STARS' data quality or other imperfections in STARS, it's still the best game in town. And any limitations in STARS extend to the third parties because they use STARS data. Plus they introduce their own errors (e.g. see Sierra's repeated computational errors above).
Bottom line: Our own STARS' data are enabling others to rank us poorly. To pervert STARS' findings. STARS should publish and promote its own credible rankings. Protect its franchise.
It's time to claim our lane.
Coda: I say 'we' a lot in this blog. That's probably confusing. Sometimes the 'we' refers to my former role on the STARS Steering Committee. Sometimes it's referring to my place among all sustainabilistas. Sometimes I'm just confused. Now you are.

WASHINGTON The snows of Kilimanjaro may soon be gone. The African mountain's white peak — made famous by writer Ernest Hemingway— is rapidly melting, researchers report.
Some 85% of the ice that made up the mountaintop glaciers in 1912 was gone by 2007, researchers led by paleoclimatologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University report in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
And more than a quarter of the ice present in 2000 was gone by 2007.
If current conditions continue "the ice fields atop Kilimanjaro will not endure," the researchers said.
The Kilimanjaro glaciers are both shrinking, as the ice at their edges melts, and thinning, the researchers found.
Similar changes are being reported at Mount Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa and at glaciers in South America and the Himalayas.
"The fact that so many glaciers throughout the tropics and subtropics are showing similar responses suggests an underlying common cause," Thompson said in a statement. "The increase of Earth's near surface temperatures, coupled with even greater increases in the mid- to upper-tropical troposphere, as documented in recent decades, would at least partially explain" the observations.
Changes in cloudiness and snowfall may also be involved, though they appear less important, according to the study.
On Kilimanjaro, the researchers said, the northern ice field thinned by 6.2 feet (1.9 meters) and the southern ice field by 16.7 feet (5.1 meters) between 2000 and 2007.
Researchers compared the current area covered by the glaciers with maps of the glaciers based on photographs taken in 1912 and 1953 and satellite images from 1976 and 1989.
The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Greasy Luck: A Whaling Sketchbook (Dover Maritime)
"Everybody who feels the fascination of seas and ships will be glad of this . . . unique creation of Gordon Grant's pen. . . . The volume is a charming example of artistic bookmaking." The New York Times"Mr. Grant skillfully combines in his drawings the romance and reality of the sea. Many of the illustrations have a charm wholly apart from their historical significance. Times [London] Literary SupplementAn eloquent, accurate portrayal of the American whaling industry as it existed for almost two centuries, this superb account of a whaling voyage and its adventures is dramatically captured by 64 of the author's full-page drawings. All the excitement, tedium, exhaustion, and joy of catching these mammoths of the sea is depicted from the thrill of a whale breaching and a "Nantucket sleigh ride" to examples of scrimshaw art and views of the foc's'le, galley, and deck. The book's title comes from the cheering crowds at dockside, seeing a whaling crew off and wishing them "Greasy Luck."

DAVID GINOLA has opened the door to an emotional return at Tottenham — as boss.
The French winger, who enjoyed a glittering three-year spell at White Hart Lane, is back at the club taking his coaching badges.
Ginola also took a swipe at former Spurs boss George Graham for bombing him out in 2000.
The 45-year-old, who signed from Newcastle, was voted Footballer of the Year in 1999.
He went on to play for Aston Villa and Everton before retiring.
Ginola said: "I'm passing my coaching badges in England. I need them to manage a team in the Premier League.
"I live in London, and I'm doing my badges at Tottenham. People at the club have not forgotten me, and I have not forgotten them."
Ginola told French paper Le Progrès: "It was circumstances that made me change clubs as a player. I wasn't just roving around.
"I must have had four or five managers when I was at Tottenham.
"The chairman liked getting a new coach every six months.
"I ended up leaving even though I thought I would finish my career at Spurs. In 1999, the year I was voted Player of the Season, the manager, George Graham, thought I was too old at 32 and put me on the transfer list. He did six months more, then left.
"Fans were sorry about me going. People who had bought shirts with my name on asked for refunds, and some people gave up their season tickets.
"I was touched by that, and it affects me still."
Ginola, who played for four French clubs, prefers English football.
He said: "Football is an institution in England — but your typical Frenchman isn't a fan."

Coffee Talk: Will Smith POTUS in 'Independence Day 2'
For those of you at work this holiday morning, here's a mug of hot Coffee Talk. Remember Will Smith's first major blockbuster, "Independence Day"? He may be taking on the sequels to the 1996 film, though in a new way. He's poised to play the president in "ID2" and "ID3." Now, our only question is, who will play the action lead? Also, Prince is being sued for $270,000, and Old Spice replaces Isaiah Mustafa with Ray Lewis. Lastly, soul singer Solomon Burke has passed at age 70. Which of his songs was your favorite? Here's what you had to say: Nadia commented via Facebook: "I loved Will in 'Hitch.' The 'date doctor' never fails to cheer me up on lonely Saturday nights. Shawn wrote via Facebook: "My favorite Will Smith movie is 'The Pursuit of Happiness' but he was sexy in 'Wild, Wild West.'"

Yarn bombing guerrillas have attacked Croydon town centre to raise awareness of an anti-incinerator campaign.
The Stop the Incinerator group have warmed up the metal lifesize portraits of Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Ronnie Corbett on the bench in Charles Street by dressing them with scarves and hats.
Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Ronnie Corbett are being kept warm by the yarn bombers efforts
And on the bench is a notice asking people to visit the campaign's website to sign a petition against the incinerator.
The plant is planned to be built in Beddington and was given planning permission by Sutton Council last year but campaigner Shasha Khan has launched a bid to get that planning consent overturned through a judicial review.
The woolly stunt is part of the Stop the Incinerator campaign
One of the supporters of the no campaign is Jonathan 'JB' Gill from boyband JLS.
Mr Gill, who grew up in Croydon and now owns a farm in Scotland, said: "Air pollution is a known killer.
"How can they justify building something that will increase air pollution when everyone agrees we need to reduce it?"
The portrait bench, featuring three of Croydon's most famous figures as chosen by the public, was unveiled last summer.
- Man tasered after 'resisting arrest'
- Step taken in getting New Addington its long-awaited £25m leisure and community centre
- 'I miss her every day': Thornton Heath mum shaves her hair in memory of best friend
- Croydon residents unable to identify any improvements to the area in the past 5 years
- Armed police called to East Croydon station after reports of a man acting suspiciously

Life is active decisions, whether they link up to your work, business or of my own being. Often neglected is the interaction betwixt all these areas, and the certainty that a teentsy knowledge base thinking can go a long way. This may well groan obtuse, but some central decisions can be made easier by intelligent simply, and a bit otherwise.
Before we do, a note in the order of value, and 'utility'. Business is active creating efficacy. Our personal lives (according to economists) are in the region of maximizing our utility, wherever inferior is just a device of the health or happiness gained from a dandy or service.
Think of it this way, and company is thoughtful opening. If shareholders (either owners or investors) could turn out more plus point themselves mistreatment otherwise means, why bother running or investing in a business? Assuming we don't all have a ageless takings river it comes spinal column to this - if you don't originate helpfulness in today's economy, you'll be displace to do one of two belongings. Change how you do things, or end to be real. For enterprise the efficacy sound out is fairly eminent.

People have it a minor easier in several good wishes. Creating greatest utility-grade is an motivator in and of itself. In the end, we all want more, whether it is revenue and advance for business, or old-hat utility in our personalised lives.
To get more, we instrument to the decisions mentioned earlier, as all the decisions we be paid have a straight striking on some efficacy creative activity and inferior maximization, in peculiar those related to support. Successful strategic running (the path you impoverishment to pinch the business organisation) is financed by your property dogma (choosing which projects to pioneer) and your funding argumentation (how you fund everything). Linked to all of this is danger management, or how you touch the risks related to with these fiscal decisions.
Personally, business decisions weight your feature of life, and your resources to relish the holding you poverty. Once once again we are vertebrae sounding at the research of incentives - how race get what they want, or need, peculiarly once different relatives poverty or call for the self thing.

One of the cornerstones of fashionable invest in assists us in perceptive which decisions to make, and it is as relevant to concern and of my own furnish. Its familiar as the example meaning of investments. Simply put, $1 today is cost more to you than $1 received in the planned. Why? Money has a circumstance expediency because of flavour rates, no entity how measly, devising $1 today much worth than $1 accepted at many example in the wished-for because it can be invested with nowadays to impart a return. The wealth from the asset will in turn, label the monetary unit you get nowadays rate much than the one secure you in the rising. Perhaps an case in point sunday-go-to-meeting illustrates the element.
Anne is offered the select betwixt $100 now, and $100 in a year's event. She takes the brass now, and invests it in a safety (or sandbank) compromise 8%, and in a time period has $108, which is logically much than if she delayed attractive the assets at the creation.
Again, this comes hindermost to the incentives mentioned more rapidly. Interest tax are rewarded because causal agency other can use your supply now, and they are standing by to pay you a tax return for the choice of doing so, which is in legality a deluxe for winning the venture of liberal your plunder to someone other. With business, this idea is piece of what is set as the Sharpe-Lintner Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM for momentaneous), allowing associates to drudgery out, in today's terms, the value of future currency flows on any task or judgment requiring finance. Widely used, this construct varies in surfacing and complexity, from urbane models formed by General Electric to the miniature business organization controller using the 'NPV' way in an Excel computer program.
There is other side to this discussion, and it's somewhat more personalized. The instance worth of jewels can apply to you, and specifically, your utility. To take to mean how, we status to air at material possession the new way in a circle and get a knob on the incentives of everyone up to his neck.
Think of voluminous individualized wealth you power have, approaching a structured squaring off. The agreements reached in situation up the colony gone you next to a denotation of warranty for the wished-for and continuing, reliable payments over and done with time. Comfortable. Hmm. Let's appearance at the incentives.
Think like-minded they do. The figment of the imagination is that you will be in good health off fallen the course near the station. The challenge is, they don't poorness you to have all your assets now because they apprehend the event significance of gold. Its meriting much to them, and they sandbank on the information that you haven't specified it a second initiative.
Remember that structured settlements are designed so that the gainful camaraderie get the largest godsend from the instance helpfulness of funding. This doesn't come to pass by coincidence or finished every astonishing act of benevolence driven by involvement more or less your long residence eudaimonia. It's unmixed souk and negotiating right. Considering the occurrence utility of your settlement, the bribe is for them to save your riches as long-run as attemptable to maximise their plus increase.
The concentrated of this discourse is to product you judge. Consider the instance appeal of cremation in your in person duration. How more than worth is near for you in retentive first-mortgage on a chattels for 20 years, compared near maximising your utility? How more than inferior is your unit of time settlement scrutinize active to organize you in 10 years? Just weighing roughly speaking increases in the outlay of alive completed the close 15 years, and how the unit of time observe stand up.
Avenues be in today's market for you to better-quality utilize these high-value wealth like structured settlements and factual holding summary. Naturally, decisions to do so should not be interpreted lightly, treating your biggest investment as fancifully as an ATM card. Whether in business or in your ain life, e'er confer with a miscellaneous ambit of industry professionals to swell the amount of rumour and comprehension brought to carnivore on any mind. As mentioned at the start, danger direction is an celebrated section of any conclusion fashioning activity.
Remember the incident pro of ready money. It can be utilized both for and antagonistic you. And insight out which way it is human being used, of late outer shell to which deputation has the large incentives.

Belgian PM plays down far-right gains
Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt has played down the major gains made by the far-right Vlaams Blok party in local elections held on Sunday.
Vlaams Blok won 33% of the votes in Belgium's second largest city Antwerp and is now the biggest party in two major Belgian cities.
Mr Verhofstadt called the result "a stain", but said Vlaams Blok had performed poorly compared with the 1999 general election.
Belgium's other political parties have also reiterated their pledge never to form a coalition with the Vlaams Blok, which advocates repatriation for immigrants.
Mr Verhoftstadt welcomed their stance, and said their policy of non-cooperation would eventually ensure Vlaams Blok's disappearance.
Mr Dewinter is also threatening to disrupt business in Antwerp's city assembly if his party is not recognised.
"I think that the so-called democratic parties, if they are really democratic, have to step aside and offer the winning party,the chance to govern this city," said Mr Dewinter.
Some fear the increase in support for the Vlaams Blok could lead other parties to adopt similarly right-wing policies in an attempt to emulate its success.
Far-right policies
At last year's general election, the Vlaams Blok became the third largest party in the economically powerful region of Flanders, which it argues should become a separate Flemish state.
The party and its supporters also want an immediate end to all immigration to Belgium, which they say is clearly linked with crime.
The polls were seen as a key test of support for the party, which has seen a huge rise in popularity in local and general elections during the last 10 years.
Filip Dewinter says he has been inspired by the example of Austria, where the far-right Freedom Party was invited to join the government coalition.

The Problem of De Se Assertion
- First Online:

- 129 Downloads
It has been long known (Perry in Philos Rev 86: 474–497, 1977; Noûs 13: 3–21, 1979, Lewis in Philos Rev 88: 513–543 1981) that de se attitudes, such as beliefs and desires that one has about oneself, call for a special treatment in theories of attitudinal content. The aim of this paper is to raise similar concerns for theories of asserted content. The received view, inherited from Kaplan (1989), has it that if Alma says "I am hungry," the asserted content, or what is said, is the proposition that Alma is hungry (at a given time). I argue that the received view has difficulties handling de se assertion, i.e., contents that one expresses using the first person pronoun, to assert something about oneself. I start from the observation that when two speakers say "I am hungry," one may truly report them as having said the same thing. It has often been held that the possibility of such reports comes from the fact that the two speakers are, after all, uttering the same words, and are in this sense "saying the same thing". I argue that this approach fails, and that it is neither necessary nor sufficient to use the same words, or words endowed with the same meaning, in order to be truly reported as same-saying. I also argue that reports of same-saying in the case of de se assertion differ significantly from such reports in the case of two speakers merely implicating the same thing.

Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
Picking a local contractor that fits your needs can seem hard even though this doesn't need to be the case. The drawn out task of deciding between the honest contractors and the bad ones isn't something you need to do. The top rated and most trusted flooring contractor in Springfield, IL are certainly the Flooring Pro Guys! Here we provide some advice on just how you should go about hiring a contractor for your flooring needs.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
It's a difficult process to find that perfect balance between pricing and value when you are considering working with a flooring contractor. Hiring the cheapest contractor will typically end up costing you more in the long haul because they're going to use poor quality materials and do a poor job. If you plan on flooring just once, it's best that you avoid going for the cheapest contractors. It's a good idea to take some time to go to the internet and do research on the variety of flooring types.
Whenever a flooring contractor quotes you a price that's way below what other contractors are bidding, you need to ask yourself why. You should understand that warranty would only be met if the service provider still offers the service. You'll have a tough time enforcing any warranty if your flooring contractor folds up his tent and steals away in the night. If a potential contractor doesn't provide a warranty, ask if one is available, and make sure to get it in writing.
Local References
Obtaining at least a couple of reference contacts is a smart move. Take the time to review and speak with each reference before you decide if this is really the perfect contractor for you, their record should be flawless before you say yes. We always can provide you information on customers who've already experienced our expertise and quality work we provide. The Flooring Pro Guys will associate you with several customers who are happy to talk with you on the professional manner in which we conduct our business.
When determining whether or never to hire a particular flooring contractor, be sure to contact the references provided so that you can find out how their crew treats properties. Also investigate how it had been cleaned after the flooring job was completed. A great flooring contractor should be in a position to return the house's condition to its original state. A local contractor who is disrespectful of property and furniture will probably be disrespectful in manners of work as well.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Make sure the flooring contractor you're planning to hire carries an adequate amount of liability insurance. You will understand that a licensed insurance company sees them as an acceptable risk if they've a significant insurance policy for flooring. Working with an uninsured contractor is not something you should ever do. The truth is that contractors who are insured are going to really pay attention to the little things because they know a lawsuit can cause their premium to increase.
Any reliable flooring contractor should have professional lettering or signage on their business vehicles. Securing a pickup truck is as easy as borrowing one from someone or renting one yourself. To discover if the company is a local one, examine closely the phone number given. A professional flooring company will have a professional person answering all phone calls.
A Quality Flooring Installation
A genuine expert will give any individual who plans on occupying the area of the flooring project with a point by point plan and show to them how they can and will handle the wreckage. Ask your service provider to provide you with a detailed pre-project plan for completing the job. Your flooring contractor should provide you with a pre-project plan laying out the steps in the process and a detailed project schedule, including daily working hours and the anticipated completion date. You can have some peace of mind because The Flooring Pro Guys will take care of you during the entire project.
When working with a flooring contractor, the detailed schedule of timing should be discussed. Even though a number of local contractors will do one room at a time, there are those who'd rather do the entire property at the same time. Due to the fact that a mess will probably be created by any flooring project, you need to learn how the crew plans to handle the trash they generate. Query what procedure is involved in the clean up process after the job is done.
It's A Messy Job!
You should ask your flooring contractor how he plans to prevent potential messes created while laying flooring. The very best flooring contractors know to use heavy plastic barriers to protect the home and property. By overlapping the sheets of plastic, they create a barrier that dust cannot get through. Red tapes with wordings "Men Working. " are used to wrap the room and provide it the feel of crime scenes seen in movies.
It is always recommended you ask if the plastic drapes used to prevent loitering kids from entering the area is covered by the price quoted by your service provider. Keep in mind, when left unsupervised, children can easily injure themselves in a work area. A professional contractor will have measures in place that should avoid potential injuries. It's essential to find a licensed contractor who is extremely conscientious about safety.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
As long as he has at one time delivered a service, he should be in the position to discuss his service details and product lines offhand. He should present a professional presentation of the merchandise lines that are available upon request. A licensed contractor with whom you are negotiating terms, should have vast knowledge of his own services available. If he keeps seeking clarifications, you should dismiss him.
If your contractor provides you with a contract to sign prior to starting a job, be sure that your requirements have been included just as you specified. Agreement on the legal agreement should be made between contractor and client beforehand, to lessen the chances of stress or loss of funds. You should never sign anything until all of your questions and concerns have been addressed by the service provider about the project. Before you sign any documents presented by your contractor, ensure you involve your lawyer to help you understand some legal terms used in the contracts offered.
Occasionally, flooring customers hate the way that the stain they chose looks when they see it applied to their floors. Even if you end up changing your mind and incurring the cost of re-doing your floors, it's better to spend the extra money to buy a quality stain. You should never accept less than the absolute best flooring work from your contractors. That's the goal of the Flooring Pro Guys: to see to it you're overjoyed with the results we deliver.

Julianne Moore: Marriage shouldn't feel like work
Julianne Moore doesn't think marriage should feel like "work".
The twice-married actress admits that it can take effort to make a successful union, but disputes the idea that a couple should be constantly working to make it a success.
She said: "I hate to call it work because it should be pleasurable, right? I think it takes effort, but I don't think it should be 'work' because that sounds miserable."
Julianne, 55, first got married in 1986 to actor John Gould Rubin and then again to her current husband, Bart Freundlich, in 2003.
The actress has nothing but praise for her current husband, describing him as "extraordinary" and revealing he always makes her feel good about herself.
She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "He always makes me laugh.
"I was about to go into a meeting yesterday and he sent me a text. I was laughing so hard I started to cry; I had to pull myself together before I went in."
Meanwhile, Julianne recently revealed that her children, 18-year-old Caleb and 14-year-old Liv, had no idea she was so famous.
She said: "A couple of years ago I got an award, and they did one of those film clubs.
"My kids came and they had seen one or two of my movies, but they hadn't seen them all, and they were shocked! Shocked! First of all, they were shocked that I had done so many movies, and then, that I seemed to be doing these outrageous things."
The flame-haired actress also said her passion for acting gets stronger the older she gets.
She explained: "I like [acting] more the older I get, and that has surprised me, because I've always been waiting for the other shoe to drop, the day I'll be like, 'I don't want to do that anymore!'
"But instead, it's more compelling to me. I like the act of figuring it out, I like learning things ... Like right now, I'm playing a character who is deaf, so I'm learning about deaf culture and learning some very rudimentary sign language, and that's exciting to me."
