The September 2000 issue includes a collection of observations on academic integrity and cheating, an article describing a history of opportunities for women in higher education, and editorial comments on a range of faculty issues. The December 2000 issue includes a brief history of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, describing the struggles of faculty in relationship to governance over the years; an article discussing issues surrounding 50 Percent Law compliance; and a commentary on failure across the state, from Chancellor's Office to local colleges, to respect participatory governance processes as mandated in AB1725. The March 2001 issue describes the heavy reliance of California Community Colleges on part-time faculty, most of whom do not get paid for meeting with students, preparing lessons, and grading papers. This issue also includes commentaries exploring the issues, rewards, and challenges associated with teaching part time. The June 2001 issue discusses expanding the community college with online classes, the four principles of technology training, and technology and educational policy.(PGS) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. 00 00 00 4.1 FACCCTS Journal of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges 2000-2001 Volume 7 Numbers 1-4 September 2000-June 2001 Katherine Martinez, Editor U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Office of Educational Research and Improvement PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION DISSEMINATE THIS MATERIAL HAS CENTER (ERIC) BEEN GRANTED BY Ai This document has been reproduced as received from the person or organization originating it.

  • HUELL HOWSER Wednesday, February 23, 2011 (Lunch Speaker) Topic: TBD
    HUELL HOWSER Wednesday, February 23, 2011 (Lunch Speaker) Topic: TBD When Huell Howser moved to Los Angeles in 1981 from his home state of Tennessee to become a reporter for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, he had no idea he’d fall in love…with California. His enthusiasm for his new home inspired the idea for the television series that started it all, California’s Gold. Huell had a simple idea: if he traveled the state with an open heart and an open mind, a microphone and a camera, he would uncover a treasure of California stories. "We operate on the premise that TV isn’t brain surgery. People’s stories are what it’s all about," says Howser. "If you have a good story, it doesn’t have to be overproduced. I want our stories to reveal the wonders of the human spirit and the richness of life in California, including its history, people, culture and natural wonders." A native of Tennessee, Huell began his television career at WSM-TV in Nashville after receiving his B.A. degree from the University of Tennessee, serving on the staff of a United States Senator and a stint in the U.S. Marine Corps. Howser later joined WCBS-TV in New York City as host of a magazine-style series. He then came to Los Angeles in 1981 to work as a reporter for KCBS-TV. Huell joined public television station KCET/Los Angeles in 1987 to produce "Videolog," a series of short programs featuring the stories of people from all walks of life.

  • Wxw Holds Keynote on Wxw NOW Streaming
    wXw holds keynote on wXw NOW streaming service, announces details on Germany's first wrestling network wXw just announced the first in-depth details on our new "wXw NOW" streaming network, which will launch one month from now on 8/13 at www.wxwnow.de. It will not just be a collection of shows like a lot of companies offer for a monthly fee via Pivotshare but also offer original content and a lot of archived shows, some dating back as far as 2006. We will also have our uniquely designed interface/UI, while hosting and infrastructure will be managed by Vimeo, our long-time streaming partner, dating back to 2013. Wrestling journalist Markus Gronemann (DarkMat.eu, Wrestling Observer) considers this to be the biggest launch of an over-the-top pro wrestling channel by a single promotion since New Japan World. wXw Managing Director Christian Jakobi held a keynote presentation tonight at 8 pm CEST at the wXw Wrestling Academy training school, which was streamed live on Facebook (the video is available, albeit only in German, here) and talked about what future and past events and what kind of original content would be available. We had up to 750 viewers simultaneously on Facebook and also had some students and a trainer (Toby Blunt) in attendance to provide some crowd noise and cheering at key points during the announcement. Marquee Events are wXw's version of pay-per-view caliber shows, where feuds start and end and international talent often appears. There currently are 10 marquee events on the calendar, with some of them being multi-day shows:

  • Alt-Nation: Beyond Wrestling Presents “Party Animals”
    Alt-Nation: Beyond Wrestling Presents “Party Animals” Photo credit: Jon Washer I’ve exhausted all my desire to write about music for one year, so figured I’d move the conversation along to the next most rocking thing going down in the Providence this week: wrestling. I’ve always been a casual fan of wrestling. I caught one of Beyond Wrestling’s event a few months ago at Aurora and found the up-close, in-your-face experience to be thrilling. I prefer it to an arena show for the same reasons that I prefer club shows to arena rock concerts. The wrestlers will go outside the ring and brawl right in the middle of the crowd with no barriers. The whole performance is just a rush. And that brings us to Beyond Wrestling’s last show of the year at Aurora. The event, billed as “Party Animals,” is notable for a couple of matches. David Starr will be defending his wXw Shotgun Championship against Jonathan Gresham. There is what promises to be a heavyweight slugfest between two giants (both over six and a half feet tall and over 300 pounds apiece) as Keith Lee takes on Chris Hero. The main story will be the final Beyond Wrestling appearance for Kimber Lee who is going to be jumping to the big time of the WWE starting in January. A trailblazer in women’s wrestling and certified bad ass, Lee has taken on both women and men and has not lost at a Beyond Wrestling house show in over a year.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

    05_559702_part5.qxd 7/23/04 11:40 AM Page 182 Part Five Disney’s California Adventure A Brave New Park The Walt Disney Company’s newest theme park, Disney’s California Adventure, held its grand opening on February 8, 2001. Already known as “DCA” among Disneyphiles, the park is a bouquet of contradictions conceived in Fantasyland, starved in utero by corporate Disney, and born into a hostile environment of Disneyland loyalists who believe they’ve been handed a second-rate theme park. The park is new but full of old technology. Its parts are stunningly beautiful, yet come together awk- wardly, failing to comprise a handsome whole. And perhaps most lamen- table of all, the California theme is impotent by virtue of being all-encompassing. The history of the park is another of those convoluted tales found only in Robert Ludlum novels and corporate Disney. Southern California Dis- ney fans began clamoring for a second theme park shortly after Epcot opened at Walt Disney World in 1982. Although there was some element of support within the Walt Disney Company, the Disney loyal had to content themselves with rumors and half-promises for two decades while they watched new Disney parks go up in Tokyo, Paris, and Florida. For years, Disney teasingly floated the “Westcot” concept, a California version of Epcot that was always just about to break ground. Whether a matter of procrastination or simply pursuing better opportunities elsewhere, the Walt DisneyCOPYRIGHTED Company sat on the sidelines while MATERIAL the sleepy community of Anaheim became a sprawling city and property values skyrocketed.
