Almeda University Comments on Fading Stigma of Online Learning
Posted: at 2:19 pm
SAN JUAN, PR--(Marketwire -06/13/12)- Online education may conjure up many thoughts among Americans. Younger generations might be swayed by tasteless commercials, employers may not hire those with online degrees and those who earned their degrees through traditional universities may feel that the resource is only for those who lack time or money. However, a recent Huffington Post article says that the practice is making progress, and becoming more accepted into mainstream society. Almeda University, an online education resource, is proud that the company has made it through this difficult period and hopes that more and more students will want to try online learning.
The article's author compares online education's progress to that of online dating. In the past, online dating was regarded as a practice for "weirdos and perverts," but today more than 20 percent of all relationships are started through a matchmaking website. Online education may be encountering similar trends, as many employers and educational voices did not regard degrees earned through the Internet as legitimate.
Almeda University President Richard Smith recalls these early struggles. "Almeda University began offering online learning in 1997. Very few employers recognized or accepted this form of learning. Well-educated students were forced to lie to their employers and provide a fictitious campus location before the employer will accept the degree credential."
Smith adds that since 2001, there were several complaints from previous students whose employers were furious to find out that his or her degree was earned through an online educator. Fortunately, Almeda University kept along with its forward-thinking ideal and proved that its educational lessons were just as valid as those received at traditional institutions. To date, Smith has received less and less e-mails from students expressing their disappointment.
According to the article, public opinion can change drastically and change fast, especially when respected voices weigh in on the matter. Online educational programs from Stanford, Princeton and Harvard have had many people reassessing the potential of web-based learning.
In Smith's perspective, even the universities had to change their minds about online education to create this shift. The Almeda University official explains, "The black-eye on online learning was created by traditional universities. Now these traditional universities that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to dispraise the value of online learning, have begun offering the same product that they decried for so many years."
Smith is excited by the increasing numbers of online students, and hopes that these changing trends will allow for further advancements in online education and its delivery.

East Cambridge community responds to Willow Street shooting
Posted: at 9:25 am
A week after a drive-by shooting on Willow Street robbed a young girls life and left another in critical condition, residents in Wellington-Harrington are looking for ways to react.
Some have called for more dialogue with the police department; others are looking for intervention from the city, and disparate groups of residents are trying to find their own way to memorialize Holmess memory.
At the June 12 funeral for 16-year-old Charlene Chay Holmes, who was shot June 3, over 400 people packed the St. Mary of Annunciation Church. The arched stone walls reverberated with Tracy Browns a cappella tribute, bringing with it muffled sobs and the crinkle of plastic Kleenex packs.
She always smiled. She was a very happy person and she hated violence, bullying; she was really against those things, said classmate Lucy Miranda.
She was really bright and vibrant, said another classmate Nathielly DeOliveira. She would express herself through her clothes and her makeup and everyday I would walk by herand shed just make everyone laugh.
DeOliveira said the funeral, the service the day before, and the vigil last week, showed just how many people supported Holmes and her family.
After the memorial, everyone came together, DeOliveira said. This just shows how close we all are. We all came to support her, the impact she had was just that big.
Thanailee Cotto Felix, 17, who was also shot June 3, remained in critical condition as of Tuesday, according to the Middlesex District Attorney's office. Cotto Felix was able to participate in Cambridge Rindge and Latin School's commencement excercise via a video feed to her hospital room June 7.

Yutaka Shimizu dies at 84; longtime L.A. high school basketball coach
Posted: at 12:15 am
Yutaka Shimizu, who became a quiet institution among high school basketball coaches in Los Angeles during a career that began in 1959 and lasted the rest of his life, has died. He was 84.
Shimizu, who had a lung ailment, died Sunday at a Lakewood hospital, said Derrick Taylor, the Bellflower St. John Bosco coach with whom Shimizu continued to work.
He was the head coach at Hamilton High from 1959 to 1981, coaching future UCLA All-America Sidney Wicks and leading the team to a City Section runner-up finish in 1965. He was also head coach at Granada Hills Kennedy High from 1982 to 1999.
Later Shimizu became a trusted assistant coach and advisor to Taylor at Woodland Hills Taft and St. John Bosco, staying in the background while offering sage advice.
"He's the most underrated, great high school coach in our era," Taylor said. "No one understood how good a coach and how brilliant a basketball mind he is."
When Taylor was coaching in the 2007 McDonald's All-American game and walked into a room for breakfast with Shimizu, a familiar voice spoke up: "Coach Shimizu."
It was John Wooden, the former UCLA coach. "That's when you know you're the man, when the ultimate coach calls you over," Taylor said.
A second-generation Japanese American, Shimizu was born Feb. 27, 1928, in Los Angeles. His family was caught up in the war hysteria after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and sent to Wyoming as part of the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans on the West Coast.
The personable Shimizu talked about his family's interment with great reluctance.
"I know it's in the history books and it can't be erased. But it was a painful time, and I want to separate myself from the feelings," Shimizu said in a 1988 Times article.

Prep football: Coaching shakeup at Jefferson, Benson
Posted: at 12:15 am
Jerry Ulmer, The Oregonian, June 12, 2012 11 a.m.
Anthony Stoudamire won four Class 5A PIL titles in six seasons at Jefferson. - (Motoya Nakamura/The Oregonian)
New Jefferson coach Aaron Gipson (5) was a four-year starter at cornerback for Oregon from 2002 to 2005. - (Ross William Hamilton/The Oregonian)
Benson and Jefferson high schools will have new football coaches this season.
Anthony Stoudamire, Jeffersons coach for the past six seasons, has accepted the job at Benson. Jefferson has filled its vacancy with a rookie coach in former University of Oregon player Aaron Gipson, 28.
Jefferson decided not to renew the contract of Stoudamire, one of the most successful coaches in school history. Stoudamire went 44-27 and won four Class 5A Portland Interscholastic League titles with the Democrats, leading them to the state final in 2009, semifinals in 2008 and quarterfinals in 2007 and 2010.
Just a change, Jefferson vice principal Ricky Allen said of the decision. We just wanted to move in a different direction.
Stoudamire takes over a Benson team that hasnt won a playoff game since 1990 and hasnt had a winning record since 2001. He replaces Anthony Davis, whose contract was not renewed after coaching the Techmen to a 10-28 record in four seasons, including 2-8 last year.
Im excited, Stoudamire said. Ive always believed that Benson had just as good of athletes that Jefferson has had over the years. I know they can win.
Stoudamire reminded that Benson is the last PIL team to win a state championship (1988).

Park Ridge Baseball coach Mike Cristiano talks with his son, Antonio, between innings during a June 2 game at Southwest Park. | Jerry Daliege~For Sun-Times Media

Mike Cristiano and Mike Passaneau grew up hitting curveballs as players with the Park Ridge Baseball organization.
Today they are still present on the ball field only this time theyre the ones coaching the game.
While their sons attempt to hit some out of the park, the men are the ones teaching them the techniques to accomplish it, while scoring a host of other benefits in return.
Its a great way to spend time with my boys and their friends, Cristiano, a Niles resident, says of coaching his sons Antonio, 14, and Nicholas, 11.
A coach for two Park Ridge Baseball teams and manager of a third, Cristiano got his start as a player in 1976 at the age of 6 years old. He played for 10 years before joining the Maine East High School baseball team and then, several years ago, got back into the game when his oldest son expressed a desire to play.
One of the best things the program has done for Cristiano and his boys is introduce them to new friends.
