High School Course Catalogs
We are thinking about putting our high school course catalog online. Our goal is to not just publish the catalog in a Word or Adobe format, but to give our students a catalog they can interact with and use to plan their high school courses. I have searched the web and found surprisingly few examples of online high school catalogs. CourseCat com is a professional service who does this, but I'm looking for some examples of high schools who currently are running an online catalog of their...

I am wondering what the collrctive wisdom is regarding engine oil for the Alfa 147 TS engine?
I am wondering what the collrctive wisdom is regarding engine oil for the Alfa 147 TS engine. I rang my dealer and was told Mobil 1, another 147 owner told me his delaer only recommends synthetic oil after 10000k of running and a UK dealer said that Selenia 20K is the only oil for Alfa Romeo. Anyone else got some info? And why should Mobil 1 not be suitable until after 10000ks of running when it meets Alfa Romeo specs?As a matter of fact, Alfa Romeo UK do not recommend using synthetic oil ...

What kind of non-lawyer job can I get with a law degree?
If you'll indulge me for a moment - I'm a 2nd year law student at a middle of the road law school (low 1st tier/high 2nd tier). Long story short - I'm not doing so hot (~C/C+ average), especially after a mandatory grading curve implemented by the school last summer. I am worried about paying off my loans, much less supporting myself, after graduating from law school. Plus I can't seem to even get any interviews for summer clerkships/internships, even at the public defender's off...

Will a distance learning degree limit me?
I'd like the opinions and advice of the readers out there. I'm currently in Human Resources working as a recruiter, though I may not always be in this field. I'm considering getting a Bachelor's degree in psychology through distance learning, but I'm concerned about whether that will limit me as far as any stigma attached to distance learning. I may also wish to pursue a graduate degree later. Someone who hires recently said to me, "if I get someone with a distance learning degre...

Stress Training = Fewer Deaths? Problem about Management ?
Stress Training = Fewer Deaths? Problem about Management ? I don't think ANYONE would argue to attempt to simulate EVERY problem that might happen! I've noticed a definite REMOVAL of any attempt to create any stress with divers in a class... This, IMNSHO is NOT doing them any favors in the long run.-to create dangerous situations where the potential for injury is significant is irresponsible. Keeping our students safe is paramount, and complex "realistic scenarios" to test actual...

Jump Start with training course?
This developer, with 30+ years experience (Fortran, C), needs a jump-start in Java. Does anyone recommend a 1-2 day training course? Or do you just recommend hitting the bookstores and putting aside a week on my own?see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/gettingstarted.html Nothing will teach you faster than having a project you have your heart in. See http://mindprod.com/projects.html to get some ideas. I usually find training courses a waste of time. I can read slides far faster than someo...

San Diego Continuing Education
we have the former corps-type who gave up his teaching credential because of the formerly-underage girl, and now this stuff. Now, who's that RCC guy who at least usedta teach down there? And are any corps people involved?School unions push for superintendent's ouster Nearly a dozen San Diego school principals stripped of their management duties during a 1999 personnel shake-up led by Superintendent Alan Bersin should get their jobs back in addition to lost pay and benefits, a S...

Teen Driving Rules
My 15 year old nephew was riding with a 16 year old friend and was in a serious auto accident. (From which he will recover- Than God). This got me thinking as I have a 14 year old daughter with an October birthday (which means she will turn 16 one month after her sophomore year) who is promising all her friends that she'll drive them to school! What are rules you use wuth teenage drivers? Can they drive at night? With other passengers? What rules do you set on who your teen can r...

Top 20 Dental Schools?
Does anyone have a list of the top 20 dental schools (as selected by U.S. News, or another similar survey)? I am going to be attending and am in the preliminary stages of gathering information. If anyone has such information, and would be willing to e-mail me a copy, it would be much appreciated.In this issue they ranked several different ways...like one category for perio or whatever. If you find this info I sure would like a copy of it. U.S. News & World Report ranked the top...

High School Correspondence Class
You oughta share with us the nature of the college correspondence courses. Some of us have kids in the high school years and we know first hand that it's a different ball of wax than teaching fonix to a 5 year old. Then what about college? At least I'm interested in what kind of correspondence course he is in.We found it easier to teach our sons when they were older (we started home education in Jan 1992 when our two ds were 9 and 11 years old). By the time, they were 14 or 15, they ...

looking for online teacher cert. program
I am searching for a totally (or nearly totally) online initial teacher certification program, either elementary or secondary, which can be completed by students who live in isolated areas. Also, information on how the student teaching/internship would be completed in the program.Not totally online, but Vermont College has that. Of course, the certification is for Vermont, but you did say remote....

Any suggestion about Play Driver Ed?
The symptom you describe here is typical of a MIDI driver problem, not surprising as Win2K is relatively new and the Live's drivers probably haven't been shaken down thoroughly enough. Try deselecting every other MIDI driver in the Options | MIDI Devices menu, ensuring that Cakewalk is only talking to the MIDI interface on your SBLive. If the problem persists, try deleting the file 'ttsseq.ini' from your Cakewalk folder and try it again. If none of this helps, you may want to chec...

Practice Ged Testing
I would like to get a Windows program for GED test prep. I see programs for SAT and ACT prep, but so far have never seen a GED test prep. Recommendation?Check on Amazon.com and look for this title: Barron's How to Prepare for the GED with CD-ROM and see if this is what you are looking for. Although the reviews state that the math section is pretty suspect. There are numerous books for the GED prep, but a severe lack of computerized prep. I recently stumbled onto a site that h...

Vermont Law School???
Would anyone recommend me VLS as a good choice if I want to do Environmental Law??Unless there is virtually no question about your desire to become an environmental lawyer, you might want to look at a school that has other strong programs. I am not sure how strong Vermont is in other fields. Being a third year at Oregon (also ranked fairly high in environmental law), I have seen countless students arrive with the intent to go out and work for the EPA or Sierra Club, only to complete...
