Hi. This really is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other site visitors asked you how have the menu bar to look such as you have it? I also have a weblog and am really trying to change around the design, however I’m terrified to death to wreck havoc on it for concern of search engines like google punishing me. I’m extremely not used to all of this …so i am simply not optimistic the best way to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here

Corinne,

thanks for getting back to me. I will put the title on my reading list. This is one of the many topics I am interested in.

Yes! I would recommend the book for anyone looking to get a better picture of each perspective.

The author does comment on the education from a student’s perspective. It was interesting to read for me having gone through a Christian undergrad experience that, at least in my department, pushed us heavily in academics. I did not have as many “you will learn this and accept it because I said so” moments as the author did, but I know it happens.

Corinne,
thank you for this excellent review. You recommend that “all believers involved in Christian higher education read through it at least once”. Would you also recommend this book to non-believers or people who are not Christians.

Does the author also comment on the education per se?

Comment on Paying students for good grades by Rosalinda Shook

Excellent article! Incentives (in any form)for good behavior are always good.

Our high school English teacher gave us a challenge: “The Best Play will win a free bowl of noodles at Norma’s Inn”. There were four groups in the class. My group (8 girls, 5 boys) worked hard on our presentation (Jose Rizal’s Execution). WE WON! We moved on to winning awards in the High t aside School Drama competition. Cheers to our English class teacher who set aside money for 13 bowls of noodle soup to motivate his students to excel in organizing and presenting a 20-minute play. By the way, here are some offshoots of those incentives:
one became a successful Insurance Broker for 5 companies in New York and married someone working on Wall Street; one is now a successful scientist with the International Rice Research Institute, one is now a Project Director for Urban Housing; one is very successful actuarian married to another actuarian in Michigan; one manages a chain of Drug Stores and married an accountant/lawyer owning several businesses; one is a very successful college professor in accounting who marred the Director of the Philippine Coconut Authority in one of the provinces in the Philippines; one became a missionary social worker who helped needy children (Filipinos, Thai, Burmese, Indian, Vietnamese, Laotian, Moldovan, Romanian, Hungarian) specially children with cancer and orphans.

God has been building my character through the incentives people invested in my life. As God allows me, I would like to be a catalyst in encouraging children to excel with whatever incentives God allows me to give.

Corinne — I checked out your topic for the conference and I must say, I’m mildly-to-moderately interested in what you’re speaking on.. :) any way there’s going to be a transcript or audio recording of some sorts?

How did choco survive? Our baby rattie had a degloving accident today. I’m just wondering about her chances of survival. We are keeping her clean, but she seems to be hurting. We gave her about two drops of infant motrin.

Our rat is Tilly.

Thanks for any other info you have.

Thank you,
Vicki

Comment on XBOX Live Update Preview by corinne

Doesn’t XBOX Live have rentals as well? I believe they are cheaper, too. I’m not sure how many new titles the Zune Video feature has vs. Netflix, Blockbuster, etc.

Thanks, beautiful, for signing “us” up for the preview ;)

I think Last.FM is like Pandora – free streaming music based on your tastes. I tried it out a while back, but now that we have a Zune pass…

Zune Video rentals might be cool. For example, if there were a new movie that we wanted to see *right now* that wasn’t on Netflix instant watch.

Great post!
