College presidents suggest differentiated tuition | Florida politics blog: The Buzz. Should an engineering degree cost more than a degree in English? Or a degree in education? The question was posed at a House Education Committee meeting Friday. On hand for the discussion: University of Florida President Bernie Machen, Florida State University President Eric Barron and state University System Chancellor Frank Brogan.
The topic is timely. Gov. Machen said STEM degrees are among the most costly degrees the University of Florida provides. What's more, students with STEM degrees are likely to draw higher salaries than other students after graduation. "It is not unrealistic to think that the cost they would pay to get that degree would be higher than the cost someone would pay for another degree," Machen said. Barron said he, too, could support differentiated tuition. "I would charge STEM students more and deliver something better," he said. While no bill has been authored, Rep. "If you want to produce more [STEM graduates], you can only go so far on current resources," he said.

The Lone Star State has led a surprisingly progressive overhaul of its incarceration system. The story behind the bipartisan push that GOP contenders may be extolling come 2016. It appears Rick Perry is going to run for president again in 2016. Perry, 65, will leave the governor’s office next January after serving for 14 years, beginning in 2000, when George W.
Bush resigned to prepare for the presidency. In recent months, Perry has appeared in both Iowa and South Carolina. At South by South West in Austin last month, Perry told Jimmy Kimmel “America is a great place for second chances.” As he creeps back onto the national stage, Perry—who has overseen the executions of 268 people—more executions than any other governor in United States history—has brought with him an unlikely Lone Star State success story: prison reform. The conservative movement to reform prisons is not new. The Dean of the Texas State Senate, John Whitmire, is one of the architects of prison reform in the state. NASA confirms research in LENR. UPDATED: In a recent video, NASA confirms its research in LENR – akin to cold fusion – and states that it works. At the same time Andrea Rossi and the Greek company Defkalion intensify their activities. (Swedish version here) In the video published on Technology Gateway, official website for the NASA Langley Research Center, Dr.
Joseph Zawodny, Senior Research Scientist at NASA, states that the new type of nuclear reactions ‘has the demonstrated ability to produce excess amounts of energy, cleanly, without hazardous ionizing radiation, without producing nasty waste’. NASA explains in the video that ‘this form of energy is also powerful, able to support everything from transportation systems to infrastructure’. “The easiest implementation for this would be for the home. He describes that electricity could be derived through some sort of cycle, and that the waste heat would be used for other things. Rossi has been in contact with NASA on several occasions.

I used to stay up late watching the film of my bicycle being stolen. It’s amazing what you notice on the 38th replay of a surveillance tape, running the grainy recording backward and forward, pausing and advancing.
Sometimes I’d back the tape up to before the 17 minutes that changed my life. All the way back to the part where I still had a bicycle. Rewinding—past all the New Yorkers striding backward toward lunch; past the Algonquin and Royalton hotels inhaling crowds and the door of the Harvard Club admitting well-fed members; past the New York Yacht Club looming impassively like a beached galleon; past all the finery and civility of West 44th Street—you come to the beginning.
You come to him. The thief. He walked into the frame on a beautiful sunny January afternoon, or what the camera mounted on the front of the Penn Club referred to as 13:29:36. After the call, he sat on a standpipe and waited. I suppose I didn’t really believe in the little cable. I WANT MY BIKE BACK. Gene Hackman hit by a car. By Anna Chan, TODAY Actor Gene Hackman was airlifted to a Florida hospital on Friday after being hit by a car as he was riding his bike in the Florida Keys. Hackman's rep told TMZ that the 81-year-old actor "suffered bumps and bruises after a woman bumped him from behind in her vehicle," but that he is "fine" and has already been released from the hospital. His rep also told E! News that the Oscar winner was airlifted to the hospital "for routine tests" because he was on an island when the accident occurred. According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the accident happened just before 3 p.m. on the Old Highway in Tavernier, Fla.
The Floriday Highway Patrol is investigating the incident. More in msnbc Entertainment: Under voter pressure, members of Congress backpedal (hard) on SOPA. The public outcry over the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act seems to have gotten so loud that even members of Congress can hear it. On Thursday we covered the news that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) was expressing second thoughts about SOPA's DNS provisions.
He said he changed his mind after he "heard from a number of Vermonters" on the issue. On Friday, several Republicans started backpedaling as well. SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith (R-TX) announced that he would be pulling the DNS-blocking provisions from his own bill. “After consultation with industry groups across the country, I feel we should remove Domain Name System blocking from the Stop Online Piracy Act so that the Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision," Smith said in a Friday statement. "We strongly believe that the theft of American intellectual property is a significant problem that must be addressed," they wrote.
Another member of Congress that has been feeling the heat from voters is Rep. Addressing Employment Gaps On Your Resume | Tandem Resumes. Q. I’ve seen a few resumes where the person explains employment gaps in the experience section. I was told this was not a good idea. Is that still true? A. “I have spent several rewarding years raising my family and volunteering within my community. You can see how that quickly addresses the gaps but almost instantly moves the conversation back to a focus on career aspirations.
Having said all that, the best advice I can offer someone who has employment gaps is the same advice I offer to all clients – focus on communicating your impact and providing the reader with clear, quantifiable achievements. Dagen H. Dagen H (H day), today mostly called "Högertrafikomläggningen" ("The right-hand traffic diversion"), was the day, 3 September 1967, on which traffic in Sweden switched from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right. The "H" stands for "Högertrafik", the Swedish word for "right-hand traffic". Background[edit] Dagen H logo There were various major arguments for the change: All Sweden's immediate neighbours drove on the right (including Norway and Finland, with which Sweden has land borders).Most Swedes drove left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles.
Nonetheless, the change was widely unpopular, and had repeatedly been voted down over the previous forty years. The campaign included displaying the Dagen H logo on various commemorative items, including milk cartons, men's shorts[1] and women's underwear.[2] Swedish television held a contest for songs about the change; the winning entry was Håll dig till höger, Svensson ('Keep to the right, Svensson') by The Telstars.
The switch[edit] 10 Biggest Impact Craters on Earth. When a meteor, asteroid or comet thumps into our fragile planet, there’s going to be a imprint left behind. An impact crater is generally a geological feature that has been caused by a heavy impact on the earth. Usually what is left behind after such events consists of a circular crater on the ground which is generally lower than the surrounding terrain as it has been forced downwards severely. Often, these impact craters are stark reminders that the solar system can be a dangerous and hard-hitting minefield that every now and again can damage the earth. Luckily, all of the huge impact craters on our list fell millions upon millions of years ago before human existence as we know it.
As well as being daunting in their size and history, an impact crater can be breath-taking and become a tourist attraction for local areas. Located in north-western Russia on the Yugorsky Peninsula, the Kara crater is around 70 million years old. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Man's iPhone marimba ringtone halts entire New York Philharmonic. Occurring on Tuesday night during a performance of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony by the New York Philharmonic, a man’s iPhone erupted in the familiar marimba ring tone during the closing moments of the performance.
Seated in the first row of Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York City, the man with the ringing iPhone watched as conductor Alan Gilbert halted the orchestra, turned toward the direction of the ringing and asked audience members in the general vicinity to turn off the smartphone. While the ring tone continued to repeat over and over, audience members yelled out phrases like “Throw him out!” , “Enough!” And “$1,000 fine!” While others clapped at the angry sentiments. According to an article in today’s New York Times, a man only identified as Patron X confessed to owning the ringing iPhone. On the following day, Patron X received a call from officials at the Philharmonic who identified him during the performance. This article was originally posted on Digital Trends.

Hi, i've never had any problems during the university, was very succesful etc. After i started to work and got married, i started having some type of brain fog. Recently i was diagnosed ADD-Inattentive type about a month ago and was prescribed 3x18 mg concerta. I started w. 18 mg in the morning. The first day i took it, i felt amazing, my thinking was very clear, my senses got sharper, it felt really good.
A few days later i added 500 mg L-Phenylanaline to my regimen to see how it goes. Does anyone know how these supplements interact w. concerta? Btw. i am a big guy (240 lbs) and my current regimen is 75 mg effexor/1 stresstabs/1 ginkgo/1 ginseng. Thanks for your answers, 5htp. Adderall and fish oil. I'm just starting up adderall again, and noticing something different. I attribute it to the introduction of fish oil to my regimine. 1/17/2009 11:44 AM I took 40mg XR this morning, and * it is better than 20.
I actually only noticed a performance decrease when I was on just 20mg (for the past 3 days). I’m sort of wasting my time organizing digital stuff right now, but no distractions like yesterday, and I feel calm headed. I think the way it must work is that, if you’re taking fish oil and vitamin C, then you’re basically getting the equivalent of 10-15mg of adderall (about a half dose, rather), and so that’s why the 20mg barely helped and may have only hurt me since side effects were introduced… I think the effect of the half dose was negligable because the adderall helps add in a different way from fish oil; The fish oil was already covering me by 50%, and so taking a stim that would also cover me by 50%... it didn’t stack, I just got a total of 50% coverage (plus side effects).
Does anyone have any feedback about adderall AND 5htp? 5-htp. 5-Hydroxytryptophan. Serotonin syndrome. The Best Programming Text Editor for Mac. Cantina Still Images. The Joy of Books.
