The Church of England has responded to claims made by the Fair Admissions Campaign (3 December 2013) about the social and ethnic inclusiveness of 'faith schools', including CofE church schools.
The Church of England's Chief Education Officer the Revd Jan Ainsworth said:
"200 years ago, the Church of England provided the first national system of schools, specifically designed to provide an education for the poor. Today, we remain proud of the way in which our schools enable children from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed."
"The latest national data, published in the Department of Education's 2013 School Census, shows that 15% of pupils at CofE Secondary pupils are eligible for Free School Meals. This is the same as the average for non CofE schools."
"Church schools also reflect today's diverse society. The latest national data, published in the Department of Education's 2013 School Census, shows that our Secondary schools serve almost exactly the same percentage of Black or Minority Ethnic, (BME), pupils as Non-CofE Secondary schools (CofE 25% - non CofE 26%)."
"Church schools are a central part of our mission to serve the common good. That is why around the country, they are open to children of Christian faith, of other faiths and of none. Over the next few years, one of our priorities will be to ensure that more children can benefit from the excellent education they provide."
We've published a new factsheet with information about the contribution Church schools make to England's education system. It contains a range of data and information showing that Church of England schools are effective, distinctive and inclusive.
76% of CofE Secondary schools are rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. That is 4% higher than the national average for non CofE schools. And 81% of CofE Primary schools are rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, which is 3% higher than the national average for non CofE schools. (Ofsted Summary of Latest Judgements (accurate as of 30th June 2013)
At CofE secondary schools, 15% of CofE Secondary pupils are eligible for Free School Meals. This is in line with the national average for non CofE schools which is also 15%. (2013 School Census, Department for Education)
Pupils at CofE schools come from a wide variety of backgrounds. 25% of pupils attending CofE Secondary schools are from Black or Minority Ethnic backgrounds (Non-CofE 26%) (2013 School Census, Department for Education)

Bishop John Pritchard, Chair of the Church of England's Education Board, has said that the church school is a national treasure, ready to serve the nation with excellent education far into the future.
Making a robust case for church schools, in an article published in The Daily Telegraph on 19 November 2013, Bishop Pritchard said that the Church of England wanted church schools to be effective, distinctive and inclusive.
He revealed that the latest figures from Ofsted and DfE school performance and census data show that Church of England schools are highly effective. 76% of CofE Secondary schools are rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. That is 4% higher than the national average for non CofE schools. And 81% of CofE Primary schools are rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, which is 3% higher than the national average for non CofE schools.
Church schools reflect society
In his article, Bishop Pritchard said that church schools serve all sections of society. "At CofE secondary schools, 15% of CofE Secondary pupils are eligible for Free School Meals.... in line with the national average for non CofE schools which is also 15%."
"One of the great accusations against church schools is that they are predominantly for white, middle class pupils whereas our statistics tell a different story. Our Secondary schools serve approximately the same percentage of Black or Minority Ethnic, BME, pupils as Non-CofE Secondary schools (25%.)"

The Religious Education Council for England and Wales launched 'A Review of Religious Education in England' on Wednesday 23 October 2013. Speaking at the launch in the House of Commons, Revd Jan Ainsworth, the Church of England's Chief Education Officer, congratulated the RE Council on completing the two year project to update national guidance on the RE curriculum.
She said: "CofE representatives have been involved throughout the process and I hope we can continue to offer the support of the Church in the on-going work, especially in improving the teaching of Christianity."
"The report offers guidance and examples of what pupils should learn at each key stage including sixth form. It attempts to balance the need for pupils to gain a detailed and systematic understanding of some faiths and also for them to be aware of the range and variety of faiths affecting lives across the world."
"We welcome the affirmation of the central role learning about Christianity should play and offer the expertise and commitment present in Church schools to help improve the standard of teaching about Christianity for all pupils."
She also welcomed the report's recommendation to revisit the statutory arrangements for RE and said issues of teacher training and support were urgent and committed the Church of England to working to reverse recent damaging changes to provision. Read A Review of Religious Education in England
The Revd Jan Ainsworth, the Church of England's Chief Education officer has issued a statement in response to the publication of an Ofsted report on the teaching of Religious Education. 'Religious Education: Realising the Potential', published on 6 October 2013, says that schools and the government have failed to focus effectively on religious education.
The Revd Jan Ainsworth said: "It is no comfort to us that Ofsted's detailed report on the state of Religious Education in this country's schools confirms all the messages we have been giving the Secretary of State over the last two years. The report places the blame for poor standards squarely on government policy. In particular the removal of support and squeeze on places for training RE teachers is a scandal and will take years to reverse. RE is still core curriculum in Church schools and we repeat our offer to the Mr Gove to work with him and the whole RE community to improve commitment and competence in this essential part of every child's education."

Church schools help children develop mental, emotional and spiritual intelligence. This shaping of lives to create a rich, rounded intelligence would be one which the 19th-century educator Dr Thomas Arnold would approve of, argues Bishop John Pritchard, Chair of the the Church of England's Education Board, in an address he gave to the Association of Anglican Secondary School Heads in September 2013. More details
The Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Rev John Pritchard, Chair of the the Church of England's Education Board, has published a start of term message for all those involved with Church of England schools.
His message concludes: "With nearly 5,000 Church of England schools, there is, naturally, an incredible mix of children who receive their education at our infant, junior, primary, middle, secondary schools and academies. Whatever their background, Church of England schools are there to provide a first class education, based on a commitment to draw out the full potential of each child. I hope that the coming term will provide opportunities to allow us to learn from each other and continue to grow our work for Church of England schools."

In an interview with the Times, published on 20 July 2013, the Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Rev John Pritchard, Chair of the the Church of England's Education Board, has called for improvements to the way Religious Education is taught in schools. Tthe Church of England Education Division and National Society have been working with the Cambridge Interfaith Programme on new RE teaching materials for use in CofE schools. The new teaching materials are due to be piloted in early 2014, prior to being launched later next year. More details

Well, you can't win 'em all.
In 2012, we saw big tech advances. Smartphones got bigger. Tablets got smaller. Social media played a role in everything from a presidential election to disaster relief.
But with advances come clunkers.
When you're in a field that demands near-constant innovation and unprecedented levels of creativity, sometimes even the most successful players are going to shoot and miss.
So, at the risk of playing Scrooge in this season of good will, here we come to wallow in it. Because, let's face it: The Internet loves a good fail.
Behold the top 10 tech "fails" of 2012, with wishes for happier days ahead to all involved.
Apple Maps
Apple's unofficial slogan, "It Just Works," took a beating on this one.
Along with the rollout of the much anticipated iPhone 5 in September, Apple overhauled iOS, the operating system that runs the phone, its iPad and other mobile devices. A much-hyped feature of the change was Apple's first effort at its own mapping app -- after dumping rival Google's map software.
The result was so bad that a few days later Apple's CEO was essentially telling customers to use Google Maps.
Entire cities appeared in the wrong place. Landmarks such as the Washington Monument showed up submerged in bodies of water, and big chunks of the globe appeared as roadless wastelands.
"At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers," CEO Tim Cook wrote in a rare apology. "With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better."
It was a little more than a month later when Scott Forstall, vice president in charge of iOS, was ousted from the company, reportedly, in part, for not wanting to apologize for Maps.
The company has been gradually improving Maps, but as recently as this month Australian police complained that an Apple Maps glitch could endanger motorists by mislocating a city of 30,000 people in the middle of the outback.
Facebook's IPO
Everybody uses Facebook. And everybody likes to make money. So everybody's going to gobble up Facebook stock, right?
So went the conventional thinking -- at least among those of us who spend more time thinking about mobile phones than mutual funds. But on Wall Street? Not so much.
It's hard to remember a stock opening more hyped than Facebook's when it hit the market in May. The stock began the day worth about $38. Then, after what everyone predicted to be a dynamic day of trading for the social media superstar, it closed at ... well ... about $38.
It wouldn't take long for the pinstripe-suit types to decide it wasn't even worth that. Facebook's stock bottomed out in September, falling below $18. Since then, it's been steadily rebounding and currently sells for about $28.
Facebook says it has solid financial plans for the future. And the stock may well keep climbing, eventually turning a profit for folks who bought early.
But that fateful day in May will be a reminder that Wall Street and Silicon Valley don't always play well together.
When the man who created Napster and helped launch Facebook talks, the tech industry listens.
And when Sean Parker and partner Shawn Fanning tease something new called Airtime, techies fall all over themselves to see what the next great innovation will be.
But then, at a fancy launch event featuring celebrities such as Alicia Keys and Snoop Dogg, Parker announces that it's ... basically, a random Web chat tool.
Cue the collective, "Huh?"
It didn't help that, at that fancy event, Airtime crashed over and over again. Or that folks had a hard time seeing how it would be different than Chatroulette (although Parker promised more users would actually be wearing pants).
In October, Parker admitted that Airtme, launched with more than $33 million in backing, had just 10,000 active users. (That's $3,300 spent per user, if you're scoring along at home.)
"Running a startup is like eating glass," he said at the All Things D conference. "You just start to like the taste of your own blood."
Online coupons
"These aren't your grandma's coupons!" the digital generation so brashly declared.
With their mobile apps and irreverent style, daily-deal offerings such as Groupon and Living Social were all the rage as 2012 dawned.
Now? Um, not so much.
Groupon, perhaps the best-known player in the field, watched its value plummet 79% in 2012. Its stock value dropped about three-quarters since opening in November 2011 as high-profile investors washed their hands of it.
And this is the company Google reportedly tried to buy for $6 billion in 2010.
LivingSocial, meanwhile, announced last month it was laying off 400 people. That's after announcing months of revenue losses.
So what happened? Inbox fatigue made some users stop checking the deals. A glut of offers you don't care about (pottery classes?) can make your eyes glaze over. And some businesses quit making offers, saying they never saw the promised returns on their investment.
Nexus Q
When Google gets something right, they get it really, really right.

During this debt debate we've seen leaders trying to lead while the rank and file members haven't always stayed in the background.
Correspondent Molly Henneberg has -- part of the story here.
Posted on the website of Tea Party freshman Republican congressman Joseph Walsh of Illinois.
A video with strong words for the president.
We didn't -- Walsh is angry that President Obama has said that Social Security checks may not -- out if there's not a debt limit deal by August 2.
Walsh says that's not true it's a message echoed by all senate Republican freshman who sent a letter today to the president.
I think the president should apologize for politicizing Social Security.
Four -- threatening not to send out checks.
GOP house and senate freshman may be the New Kids On The Block but they aren't shrinking violet.
Many of them were elected to office by vocal passionate Tea Party voters.
And they see themselves on a mission in part to rein in big government spending and prevent tax increases -- The majority of the house -- approve a 100% of the spending.
That's a tremendous amount of leverage and we should use.
One political analyst says that has an impact on how far house GOP speaker John Boehner can go in the debt negotiation.
The very existence of these house Republican freshman have lent credibility to speaker Boehner when he says look.
There are not enough votes in the house for a tax increase.
President Obama also is feeling the pressure from his left flank.
He said that social security and Medicare may need some quote modifications.
As part of a debt deal to sustain them for future generations.
If there is a reasonable deal to be had on -- it is one that I'm going to preserve it.
That got a strong pushed back from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other liberals.
Today the democratic women of congress have come together to send a very clear message.
We must protect.
Medicare and Social Security we will not support.
Cuts if there are cuts to those programs a final deal around says it will be a tough sell for the president with his liberal base.
Which sees itself as the guardians of the entitlements.
In Washington Molly Henneberg --

Out of respect for the LDS Church's General Conference, this week's games move up to earlier in the week. But the hype following the top games did not stay on Saturday.
Utah will have the most anticipated home game in the school's history when PAC-12 opponent USC arrives tonight for the nationally televised matchup. The battle for in-state supremacy will be fought Friday night in Provo when Utah State travels to BYU for another nationally highlighted contest.
The annual Conference bump up definitely puts the state of Utah on the national map. By being the only games on television, the best of what the state has to offer will be featured. Utah will get the first crack at the headlines.
Before Jordan Wynn's career ended due to shoulder injuries and Arizona State exposed all the holes in the Ute's defense, tonight's game was expected to decide the early leader for the PAC-12 South. Now, the 13th ranked Trojans, who started the preseason at no. 1 in the country, are heavily favored.
The Utes were slower than ASU last week, a problem that will only compound against the Trojan's speed. However, the offense for USC has not quite clicked this season. The close loss to Stanford showed just how much the Trojans need to click if they want to win. Stanford did fly to the ball in the game, and outside of defensive tackle Star Lotulelei Utah does not have the same athletes the Cardinals have on defense. This matchup will most likely not live up to the hype, but will be a good stage for the Utes should the team play well. The sold-out game will be aired at 6 p.m. on ESPN.
A more competitive game will be played the following night when the Beehive Boot is on the line and Utah State visits BYU.
The Boot, which goes to the Utah school with the best record against in-state foes, could be won outright by the Aggies due to their win over the Utes earlier this season.
The Aggies could win the Boot outright for the first time since 1982. If BYU wins the game, they will take the Boot due to their win over Weber State.

Thanks Mlee, at the end of the day it might make more sense to spend 450 euro to 'save' a 3000 euro laptop (dangit I'll never do another similar madness again!) Here's how the slots on my original cards look like:
you need to read this forum, im currently having to find a new chassis for a 5 year old laptop for an old customer who came across this forum http://www.nvidiadefect.com/
Before I press my paypal button to buy purecain's 8800M (no offense mate, I'll probably press it just the same so fed up am I using integrated graphics on a laptop which half-works ) I just want to make double sure that no ATI card whatsoever would fit on this laptop? I'm very sure it is so (but on getting another mobile Nvidia after having two of them die on me, I'm also pretty sure I'll be afraid to do any normal gaming and probably will end up putting the lappie up for sale...)
In my opinion, you'd be better selling the laptop and getting a new one of a gaming spec - I don't think this one is going to give you any joy in working properly in the long run. Of course, gaming laptops are expensive and the amount of money you have to spend is also a factor here, so ultimately only you can make that decision.
I would not bother buying the new card. Sell what you can and recover. That laptop doesn't need more money put into it. You're not going to get it back in gameplay or in resale value.
that's what she said yeah it may have been a 3000 euro laptop but it isn't anymore. so 450 euro might be way too steep for its current value.
Black Panther, I'm in the same boat as you. My $2400 Toshiba X205-SLi4 had 2 8600m GT cards in SLI, and those died 4 times. Warranty ran out, and I had to just scrap the laptop and get a new one. My new laptop that I got late last year (Toshiba A665D-S6091) for $699 turned out to be a much better investment. Runs cooler, CPU is faster, the screen is much better, it's half the weight, takes half the power, yet gets the same score in 3DMark06 as my old 2008 laptop. Sometimes, you just have to move on. I should have bought the $1200 Gateway FX with the 8800M GS instead back then.
Exactly. I mean hell, you can buy a pretty sweet core i5 laptop with 4GB+ RAM minimum for $450 in the US brand new ( i know because I just picked up an MSI for $450 for my wife), and with euros that's a lot more cash, so get a nice new laptop, or buy yourself a GTX 580 or something. It's never worth it to invest money into an older laptop in my opinion. It has no resale value whatsoever. Do you go to LAN parties or game away from home? Why do you feel the need to invest that much in an old graphics chip that is worth nothing in resale value once it's in the laptop?
Thing is at least I won't be buying the card for 450 euro because Purecain is going to sell me an 8800M GTX for £70. I'm just waiting for him to give me his paypal address At least that way I can sell a working laptop, because since it's got no integrated graphics chip it won't work at all without a card. Then I'll try to work out what price I can ask for it....... definitely not 3000 euro lol
Did you guys ever consider emotional attachment? I know it's dumb, but BP might really love that laptop, like I really love my old Dell Studio Hybrid as it was the first PC I bought with my own money.
That would be our job, we are here to discourage people from developing emotional attachment to a particular object or brand for the benefit of their wallets.
Obviously the higher would be better... -->me But better selling it for little, perhaps really cheap for someone who needs a laptop, rather than leave it to waste and deteriorate. I'm a bit torn as to what would get me a better price -- Do you think I should sell the laptop as a whole working pc or should I sell it in parts? It's got: Q9450 (it's a desktop LGA775 processor) 2 x 2 sticks of ddr2 RAM 2 x 160 GB Hitachi HDD's 7200rpm 1 x 8800M GTX.... Motherboard (can obviously be used only for Sager 9262) 6 cell battery still in perfect condition. Good TFT screen 1920x1200 px with webcam Keyboard and rest of the body.... 200W Power adaptor
You can probably get it for about €/£500, maybe a bit more or less. Things like this is keeping a roof on your maximum asking prices: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/MSI_GX660R_1079124.html
Better than nothing.. I'll do a budget gaming desktop build for the summer house next time. Learnt the hard way that gaming laptops are not the way to go. I'm typing this out from a 10 year old laptop... single core 1.86Ghz, 1GB RAM, integrated graphics, one keyboard key missing, optical drive doesn't work..... But it doesn't complain at all after 5+ hours of SimCity 4
I still have some faith for gaming laptops, mine is still going strong after a year and a half of Starcraft 2 (regularly hitting 1fps in massive 3v3 battles ). Probably not the high end laptops after what you have gone through, but still enough faith for the budget to mid end ones.
Thanks purecain!!! Your card works perfectly. 40 degrees idle in gpu-z. I haven't stressed it out... I don't think I will, ya know after having 2 cards die on me. I've got one nagging doubt though. Could it have been the SLI cable all along? With my previous other 2 cards I had left it in place, but this time I removed it.
IIRC, nVidia recalled all those chips... You may be beyond the timeframe that they offered to have it repaired by manufacturer.

When the claims of parties in one lawsuit are joined.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The joining together of several lawsuits or several parties all in one lawsuit because the legal issues and the factual situation are the same for all plaintiffs and defendants, or because a party is necessary to the resolution of the case. Joinder may be mandatory if a person necessary to a fair result was not included in the original lawsuit, or it may be permissive if joining the cases together is only a matter of convenience or economy.

My 5-year old daughter wasn't with me when I bought this coat, but we'd bought her a waterproof coat form Mountain Warehouse, and I was confident that the size 5-6 would fit her properly. She is happy with the warm fleecy lining especially in this cold weather. I'd checked the various ski jacket reviews on this website before going into the shop, so I knew to test the zip carefully before purchase. The zip works fine. The only reason this review is 4 stars and not 5, is because I think the hood seems a little small in comparison to her waterproof coat . It covers her head, but seems to stop very close to her forehead - it isn't a very generous overhang peak compared to her waterproof coat. The coat does say that it doesn't have taped seams so it isn't fully waterproof in a downpour - but it would do fine for our purposes.
13/02/2013 10:46:36
I placed my first order on line and unfortunately it arrived with the zip broken. I returned it to the store in leicester and the member of staff there Natalie was very helpfull and organised a refund for me. The coat is great and my daughter loves it.
21/03/2013 11:59:33
Bought in the sale. Lovely and padded. Will be nice and warm. Am going to buy another for the 'to grow into box' - too good to miss at that price. Limited choice of colours now in sale, but it is the end of season!
15/11/2012 07:15:40
I ordered this for my daughter to take her through the winter months. I am very satisfied with the product and the colour. The price was very affordable for this product. Delivery was quick and easy.
10/03/2013 20:39:10
This is a great product keeps you nice & warm when its freezing outside & thats with just a t-shirt on underneath & its great for all types of weather would recommend this product to everyone.
16/10/2012 21:07:08
Tried a couple of other snow jackets on my daughter but this was the best fit and she loves the colour. Much less choice for boys though so unable to purchase similar product for my son.
08/02/2013 14:43:51
This jacket was really good value and great quality. It was slightly more purple than it looked in the photo. Unfortunately it was too big for my wee girl therefor i had to return it.
28/01/2013 14:08:31
Great value coat. Well made with a part fleece lining. Like the detachable hood and inside pocket. Zip up outer pockets handy too. Nice material, comfy and warm.
10/12/2012 07:36:53
Daughter has this for a school coat and it keeps her lovely and warm. Plenty of pockets and I got the next size up for growing room which there is plenty of.
15/04/2013 12:02:57
A very warm well made jacket that will allow movement whilst keeping out the eliments. Its actually for my granddaughter for next winters British weather
10/02/2013 14:45:45
I was thrilled with this coat, and granddaughter looks beautiful in it. I can see that it will definitely keep her warm during the cold weather.
15/04/2013 18:38:10
Bought for my daughter at the same time as buying one for myself, at such a reduced price couldn't leave it on the shelf! Daughter loves it.
28/03/2013 12:02:14
This was bought for my little girl - excellant value for money - since a Sale item. just a shame that there was little sale items left.

My daughter wore this to school during the heavy rain. Kept her dry and warm. Good quality coat. Reasonably priced.
01/02/2013 10:45:17
Slightly dearer than others in the store but didn't have in her size. Colour is good and really suits her.
15/06/2013 10:43:16
Bought for one of my granddaughters in the Netherlands. Just the thing to keep out those North Sea winds.
01/04/2013 17:07:24
Brilliant service in the store, couldn't fault the product, value for money or the customer service.
29/11/2012 20:33:03
Would give an extra star if I was sure it was goign to be warm enough but only wear will tell.
06/11/2012 22:11:33
Bought it for my grandaughter who is 23 months although it was for age 2-3 it almost fits her.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. The application says I can choose which semester I want to enroll – fall, spring, or summer – is this true?
No, not really. All the grad programs on campus use the same application, and some are much more flexible when allowing students to begin. Our program is not.
Our curriculums are relatively sequential and we like our students to begin in the fall, otherwise it throws them out of synch. In addition, when it comes to receiving assistantship money it is not in a student's interest to begin in the spring or summer, as assistantships are only handed out for a year term beginning in the fall.
Finally, we offer no graduate student orientation in the spring or summer, which is particularly useful for international students.
With that all said, we may enroll a student into the program in the spring or summer. Students must get permission from the Graduate Program Chair to do so, and must have all the undergraduate prerequisites.
2. The application says to choose a non-thesis or thesis tract. What does that mean? Do I have to make that choice right now? Does my admittance to the program depend on what I choose?
While there are differences in curriculum in the two tracts, you do not have to make that decision right now, in fact, we really don't want you to. Unless you are absolutely sure you want to do a thesis, select the "non-thesis" tract as this will facilitate curriculum planning. If you want to switch to a thesis tract at a later time, it is relatively easy to do so. Acceptance into the program has nothing to do with thesis vs. non-thesis.
3. The application has room for a personal statement, but this does not appear to be required for ESS students. Should it do it anyway?
If you think it will help, yes. More than one page will hurt.
4. Should I send in a resume?
Yes. If applying for an assistantship it is required. If not applying for an assistantship it is not required, but it is a good idea anyway. You may send the resume to the Graduate Admissions Office with your application or to the ESS Graduate Program Chair with your assistantship materials.
5. Where is the application for an assistantship?
The assistantship application is part of the regular application for admittance to the program, PLUS you must send in one additional letter of recommendation that speaks to your work habits and skills. We also ask that you send in a current resume and an assistantship form. Please see the link on the left for "Graduate Assistantships."
6. Most of the jobs listed for assistantships I have no clue about and am a little worried that I couldn't do it. Should I apply anyway?
Yes. Some assistantships require very specific job skills, like athletic training (must be NATA certified) and coaching (must have high level playing experience). For most others, however, if you have the prequisites to get into the program we know you have some level of experience and we will train you for what we need you to do.
7. Can I get a copy of the application first so that I can prepare my answers before I get online?
Yes. Please contact the Graduate Admissions Office.
8. I don't have all the prerequisite coursework. What should I do?
You'll have to make it up, either before coming to Ithaca or while here. First, though, consider that some of the courses you have already taken may not fall neatly into our prerequisite list, but fulfill our needs anyway. For example, undergraduate nutrition science majors may not have the "right" anatomy and physiology courses, but they may have covered sufficient topics in their biochemistry and metabolism courses to suit our needs.
The best thing to do is contact the graduate chair for advice.
9. I want to make up prerequiste coursework by taking a course at one of the online universities. Will that transfer in?
There is a good chance it will not. With few exceptions, these courses (and schools) do not meet the same standards as courses at traditional brick and mortar schools. No, we're not being snobs, but just consider "hands-on" learning and lab courses. How many of these online courses get your hands gunky with animal guts? How many of them have you hook up an electrocardiograph and a metabolic cart and conduct a maximal exercise test? Underwater weighing and other anthropometric measurements? Electromyography? What about 3-dimensional video analyses with super high-speed cameras and motion analysis software? How many have you do face to face role playing? Get the point?
10. I can't get all my application materials in by the March 1 "priority" deadline. What does "priority" mean? Is it such a big deal if I miss the deadline, after all, I'm only missing my GREs (or letters of recommendation)?
Sorry to say, but it is a big deal, especially for awarding assistantships. Students with strong qualifications who miss the March 1 deadline still have a chance of being admitted to the program, but we also become more stringent on qualifications. Beginning March 1, we begin awarding assistantship money, and if we do not have your application, we cannot put you up for consideration. The assistantship process takes a long time as we match students to positions, so there still is a chance that a late applicant can be awarded money.
And yes, we need your GREs, unless you have petitioned us to waive them. Waiving the GREs is very rare, unless you have taken similar tests (e.g., MCATs) or have a very high GPA.
11. Can I really finish in one year?
The answer is yes, if you do the non-thesis tract. We have set our curriculum up so that this can be done, but you need to think about if you really want to. If you decide on the non-thesis route, you can take 12 credits in the fall, 12 in the spring, and 12 over the summer. Pass the comprehensive exams at the end of the summer and you have done it. We routinely have students finish in one year, but perhaps even more decide to extend it a semester or two in order to do independent study projects, internships, or other projects they may have. Yes, they actually WANT to be here and take more time to absorb the experience. If you opt for the thesis tract you should expect to be here for 1.5 -2 years (2 is more likely).
12. What GPA and GRE scores are you looking for? Should I take my GREs again?
Higher the better. What we look for is highly motivated students who have a drive to succeed and have demonstrated their committment by high grades, a high level of extracurricular activities such as research projects, and leadership roles. The average GPA of those students attending Ithaca College is about 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. That does not mean that those students with GPAs lower than that should not apply. Remember, we look for other signs of achievement and motivation. And yes, we are aware that not all schools and programs are the same.
We have no minimum score for the GRE. However, if you are above the 50th percentile you should consider that your scores are solid. If you are below the 40th percentile your scores are looked at with more scrutiny. We value high scores in the verbal, math, and analytical. Scoring super high in one and super low in another does not help your chances.
You should take the GREs a second time if you feel you did not do as well as you could have.

Alpine Third Graders began their exploration of Michigan geography by recently visiting the sand dunes at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park and nearby Lake Michigan. Students learned how the glaciers that moved over Michigan during the Ice Age formed our great lakes and sand dunes. Alpine third graders enjoyed exploring a dune model and displays of mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians that make their home in the dune habitat. In addition, students were able to perform an experiment with magnets to discover magnetite in our sand. The favorite part of their trip, however, was climbing the sand dunes and running back down into the strong winds blowing off Lake Michigan! |

Technology is playing of a major role at Alpine Elementary. Using technology just for the sake of saying you use technology is not going to work. We, at Alpine, believe that technology must be used to enhance what the students are learning in class. One way in which we will be utilizing technology this year is through something called "QR Coding". Each class will have the opportunity to participate in the QR Code our Library Challenge. Mrs. Bush wrote and received a grant from MACUL to purchase 6 i-pod touches for the building to use to help them accomplish this challenge. The i-pod touches will be used to make and view the student videos. |

Mrs. Bush is planning to continue with her flipped classroom in math with our fifth grade students. She has put forth time over the summer into further developing this model and improving on past practices. At the beginning of August, she had over 21,500 hits from all over the world (including places from as far away as Australia, Singapore and Russia) on her professional blog. Her blog was also voted into the "Top 25 Teacher-Mom Blogs". Furthermore, she has been asked to share her story and experience in a soon to be written and published book by the originator of the flipped classroom. |

The personal attention and the room are perfect. Near access to the subway make it very easy to move around Manathan.
simply amazing !! flawless !!
We stayed here for 9 nights in the Victoria Room. The room is small but quirky and cosy with a lovely en suite bathroom. The staff are very friendly and were always willing to help us from printing out tickets for us to giving us a fantastic overview of the area and NYC when we arrived. We didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this place to others. We felt safe walking around Harlem even when we returned late in the evening. La Maison d' Art really does feel like you are staying in "real" New York rather than just a hotel.
I wouldn't say this is something I didn't like as this didn't really bother us but as the Victoria room is small be prepared to live out of your suitcase as there is limited hanging/closet space. The subway station is about a 10 min walk away and then it takes about 10 mins on the subway to get to midtown which was fine for us but some may want to consider this if they want to be closer to the centre of everything.
Hosts were lovely and very helpful with local information, transport, etc, though still had privacy. Kitchenette facility and ensuite very convenient. Bed was amazing. Courtyard out the back downstairs - nice if you want some downtime. Pleasant walk (approx. 5-10 min) to restaurants, shops, subway station, etc. It was also a very unique location in Harlem - despite being nervous initially as a single woman travelling solo, I soon felt at ease (even when walking at night). A great option to visit NYC without the huge price tag.
Needed a bottle opener and some body wash or basic small toiletries which would have been helpful. There is no lift; only stairs - if you have light luggage or don't mind the exertion, it's fine.
Sophie, Stefanie and ? were very friendly and helpfull. Rooms were beautifully designed, love it! Perfect for people who want to explore the city. Subway is nearby, friendly neigbourhood. We first had our doubts with Harlem but as the taxidriver told us this was 'good Harlem'
Nothing, maybe we mist a closet or a place to put your clothes and luggage. We had the Victorian room and noticed that the other rooms were taller.
Very comfortable, good facilities and value for money
perfect service
The location is great which is nearby the subway and close to Central Park. The staffs are friendly and helpful, and the style of the hotel made u like staying at home.
No elevator.
I loved the little extras that were added like the coffee filters,coffee and perculator.I loved that althought the hotel was full we didn't hear anyone else and only saw one other family once.
My one and only complaint was that there wasn't a full length mirror in our room
The owners are fantastic, really helpful and friendly.
Nothing, the accomodation and the city were both incredible.
The room was comfy and quaint. Its' whimsical appeal that made it quite romantic. The art work in the halls and waiting area was abundant and eclectic. Sophie, the hotel manager was friendly and accommodating. We loved the whirlpool bathtub. We also loved the short walk to shopping and nightlife. Finally, cabs were plentiful in the area.
The room was very cold. It took a long time for the wall mounted heater to warm up the room. There was no heat in the bathroom.
The 2 women running La Maison d'Art provided the most welcoming, comfortable stay during our trip. They make themselves available to every guest to ensure that their stay is exceptional in a setting that is friendly and filled with the products of local artists! My new 'Go To' place in NYC.
I couldn't stay longer.
Friendly, helpful staff Beautiful room Vibrant neighborhood
We, a family of five, hired the Artists Loft. It was a very pleasant place to stay: a large separate bedroom for the parents, a very large living room including three beds for the kids and a very convenient kitchen block (including free coffee). So enough space to move around and the appartment was very nicely decorated. Also it had WiFi (very important for teenage kids to stay in touch with their friends at home)! Sophie and Stephanie were very guest-friendly. Harlem is a safe place to stay and by using the subway it is very simple to go further downtown. Supermarkets for buying drinks and breakfast are nearby. Next time we surely will stay again in Maison d'Art!
The hotel is absolutely adorable. We had Bird Room, decorated with fantastic paintings. The bad is big and comfortable, we felt like home. The bathroom with shower and hair dryer, and shampoo I was in love with. It was quite and warm in the room, one of the important things is that we had our own key, so we could be absolutely free to go and come back anytime we want. If you need room cleaning – you just need to ask, nobody bothers you. In our room we had tv, telephone (it was important cause we called in several places to get some info), hair dryer, microwave and even little owen in case we would like to cook something. Also we had our coffee machine in the room and coffee itself (tea also), we didn't need to buy it. The best place to eat is a Chinese restaurant 'Crispy Bamboo' - cheap, tasty, takeaway. Hotel is situated near two subway stations (5-10 min), it takes you 10 minutes to go downtown. Harlem is a very safe place, authentic; here we felt really like in New York, all those pictures we saw in movies are here. Sophie, our guest manager, was very helpful – she gave us different maps, which helped us to move around nearby area (food, shops, subway stations) and in New York downtown. We could ask her any question, even stupid ones :) She was patient, friendly and beautiful, like everything in La Maison d'Art. There a lot of events taking part here in the hotel, it is a place not only to live, but to spend time. We've been to different places in that trip, but our advice is to take private, small hotels like La Maison d'Art, cause here you really feel like home and can be absolutely sure, that you'll be treated like special guests. We will come back here for sure.
Stephanie and Sophie were so helpful and kind. Our room the master suite was beautiful and so clean would definitely stay again.
Interior was really good. Every furniture is elegance and great quality.
We really enjoyed our stay at La Maison D'Art. The staff made us feel like we were visiting old friends. Our room, the Bird Suite, was delightful! It was roomy and nicely appointed. We especially liked the hardwood floors and the glass tiled bath. It was very quiet since we were on the back side of the brownstone. Everything was perfect. We hope to stay again in the future.

Personel is perfect. Room is well designed and comfortable. It is not far from metro station. Wifi was very fast. Bathroom was very well designed and very comfortable. There is a safe case at the room.
1-Location is a litle bit far from city center. 2-Refregirator at the room was very noisy. 3-Room air condition must be fixed. (Heating problem)
Very nice rooms, personal touches, engaging staff
Sophie is sooo nice and helpful. Very cosy hotel, downstairs is their gallery.
Bed is a bit way too soft...not good for spine though,..
Room was well-designed well-outfitted, and clean. It is also located in a lively section of Harlem, in a good neighborhood.
When I was booking, a "cleaning fee" of $40 appeared. I phoned the hotel for an explanation, and everything mentioned seemed to me to be to be services that are normally included in the price. I did not cancel, since the hotel agreed to waive this extra fee.
The staffs were really friendly and helpful. The room was perfectly clean and sufficiently equipped.
The location was a bit far from the downtown of Manhattan (the are subway stations nearby and it wasn't a big issue, though).

A seizure results from a sudden rush of abnormal electrical signals in the brain. Symptoms may range from a minor daze to uncontrollable muscle spasms (convulsion). In some cases, the victim may even lose consciousness. A seizure can be caused by a high fever, head injury, drug reaction, or condition such as epilepsy.
Help the victim to the floor if he or she begins losing muscle control. Turn the person on his or her side to prevent choking.
Protect the victim's head from injury by placing something soft, such as folded clothes, beneath it, and by moving objects away from the victim.
DON'T cause injury by restraining the person or by placing anything in his or her mouth.
Clear away bystanders.
Reassure the victim, who may be confused, drowsy, or hostile when coming out of the seizure.
Cover the person or provide dry clothes if muscle spasms have caused a loss of bladder control.
Make sure the victim's mental state has returned to normal. One way to do this is to ask the person his or her name, the year, and your location.
Look for any injury to the mouth and head.
If the seizure lasts longer than 3 minutes
If a second seizure occurs
If the victim doesn't regain consciousness
If the victim is pregnant
If the victim has no history of seizures

Welcome back everybody Mitt Romney's Mormon faith has been a source of tension for many evangelical voters including.
Our next guest who even went so far as to call Mormon -- them.
They quote theological -- but now with -- -- -- out of the running -- other evangelicals are changing their tune a bit.
-- joining us it's just passes the first Baptist Church in Dallas the author of twilight last gleaming doctor Robert -- nice to see this morning doctor welcome in the show.
Well thanks and thanks for not showing my prom pictures greatly appreciate we'll save you from that.
Trust me I want that pain.
You have some critics of this morning doctor and we should be fair and in explaining what their position is they see that you are now.
Expressing some political opportunism and that -- being hypocritical for saying at one point the Mitt Romney was a member of a cult.
And that Christian shouldn't vote for and now you're changing your tune -- Well I haven't changed my -- and in fact I never said Christian should not vote for Mitt Romney.
When I talked about his theology I was answering a question about theology.
And I still maintained there are vast differences in theology between mormons and Christians but we -- share many of the same values like the sanctity of life and religious freedom.
I was on your show in January at the day of the our caucus.
And I said at that point if Mitt Romney became the nominee I would support him so there's no inconsistency here at all so you do still feel he is not a Christian.
Well I'm saying the same thing -- Rick Warren said last Sunday on another network 75%.
-- Protestant pastors USA today cited a poll saying.
Don't believe that more in the -- is the same as christianity but.
We do share many of the same values I think Christians are very concerned about this president being the most pro abortion president in history is unprecedented assault against religious liberty.
And I think those things are going -- energize evangelical Christians to vote in the fall election.
You said in October evangelical Christians should not vote for Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon therefore not a real question.
-- critics would argue that President Obama is a real -- Christian by that metric then why wouldn't you support Barack Obama.
Well again I never said quote that you attributed to me.
-- ways that's very -- article and one magazine that just completely fabricated that -- I've never said don't -- I'd vote for Mitt Romney because he's not a Christian but.
In my book that you were so -- reference I said.
Given the choice between a Christian like Barack Obama who embraces non biblical principles.
Like abortion.
And a Mormon like Mitt Romney who embraces biblical principles there's every reason to support Mitt Romney in this election I've been consistent and do you feel other evangelicals will come out and that the big question is enthusiasm will they get out and vote for him come the fall.
Well I believe they will you know in 200830.
Million evangelical evangelicals sat at home and didn't vote.
Barack Obama won by ten million votes.
But I think in these last four years when we've seen especially what the president has done -- last six months and watching this war against religious liberty.
I'm not just talking about the HHS mandate but I'm also talking about last October when he tried to -- sand.
Of the church exemption and hiring practices I think is more evangelicals are aware of what this president is doing.
I think they will turn out and vote not for partisan reasons but because he opposes biblical principles.
We will see -- will be fascinating election doctor Robert -- is always great to see here on the show thanks for waking up with -- early this morning here is the book twilight last gleaming.
He's -- name of the book thanks doctor.
Thank you.

Attention all Republican't and Demadon't politicians: This is your boss, the middle class, speaking. After the election, you haven't said much about us, but we're still here paying your salary.
You need to cut out the nonsense, do your job and fix this budget mess, or we're going need to let you go. You don't need to like each other or agree on everything, but you need to work together and do your jobs.
Not everyone at the electric company likes each other, but we still have electricity. Since you work for us, I'm not sure why your income and benefits are so much better than ours.
Wait, yes I do: You get to make those decisions.

Delivers the classic tone that players have come to expect from Ludwig—with a modern flair.
The 14" x 8" Ludwig Black Magic Snare Drum is inspired by the Ludwig Coliseum. It may be the ultimate in low-bodied power and projection.
Based on Ludwig's legendary Black Beauty snare drums—long the optimal choice for touring and recording drummers in need of volume, tonal clarity, and optimal snare response—Ludwig has gone one step further with the Black Magic snare. A classic formula for a more aggressive musical age, Black Magic snare drums share the same shell type with the Black Beauty, but with upgrades like matching die-cast hoops for increased volume, and tube-style lugs for maximum shell resonance.
Its unusual 8" depth puts the magic in the tone of the Black Magic snare.

"I think that Governor Romney is certainly a skilled debater. And last night he was able to elevate his level of performance. But he did not change the fundamental dynamics of this race, nor did he change some of the policies that actually got us into the economic mess that we have," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, a top surrogate for Obama, told CNN.
Both candidates have their work cut out for them heading into the next presidential debate October 16 in New York at Hofstra University. The town hall format is one that could easily trip both candidates, debate experts say.
In town halls, Obama tends to sound too professorial and Romney runs the risk of coming off as stiff, Wade said. The unpredictable nature of the questions also sometimes throws candidates, she said.
"The danger of the town hall is that you're getting them from the audience," Wade said. "The way the questions are asked are not the way they are in practiced debates because these are from people not policy experts."
