Community College Emissary: University of Phoenix in trouble?

http://ccemissary.blogspot.com/2009/01/university-of-phoenix-in-trouble.html

Sent on behalf America's largest higher education sector. Thursday, January 15, 2009. University of Phoenix in trouble?

Title IX loans are federally guaranteed. In order to maintain good standing with the feds, colleges must limit student defaults (the so-called Cohort Default Rate), among other requirements. This lawsuit l...

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer: Twilight in Tokyo

http://idlemonkeytrainer.blogspot.com/2011/04/twilight-in-tokyo.html

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer. An idle monkey trainer is the devil's workshop. Tuesday, April 05, 2011. Tokyo received little direct damage from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Suburban areas, particularly Chiba seem to have been more directly affected. Rolling blackouts continue in the suburbs of the city, but the central part of Tokyo remains largely unaffected by these. Subways and trains in the city center are back nearly to their pre-earthquake schedules. This past Saturday, the park did s...

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer: March 11 - 14, 2011

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer. An idle monkey trainer is the devil's workshop. Monday, March 14, 2011. March 11 - 14, 2011. Just after 2:oo pm on a lovely early spring afternoon the shaking started. At first it seemed to be no more than the usual rocking, which is viewed with general nonchalance by the majority of residents. Then it kept going, and growing stronger. Concern began to creep into voiced thoughts. “Is it time to get under the desk? Aftershocks continued through Friday night, waking peop...

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer. An idle monkey trainer is the devil's workshop. Thursday, February 04, 2010. Another Wander Through the Woods. On the final day of January, I took my hangover for a walk through part of Big Thicket National Preserve. Big Thicket is a sprawling piece of the National Park System and rather disjointed. The Kirby Nature Trail, and at least the first part of the Turkey Creek Trail and Sand Hill Loop Trail, are all well maintained and easy to follow. The Idle Monkey Trainer.

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer. An idle monkey trainer is the devil's workshop. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan in early May. It is hard to put into words the range of emotions and experiences one goes through during a week of recovery volunteer work in Ishinomaki, Miyagi on the northeast coast of Japan. The world watched live on television as the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami shattered towns along the coast. I won’t rehash that story here. On the night of April 30.

http://idlemonkeytrainer.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Thoughts of an Idle Monkey Trainer. An idle monkey trainer is the devil's workshop. Saturday, June 16, 2012. The Calm before the Storm. I was reminded recently – well, early in May – that I have a blog. It seems I have been more idle than usual. I had an intention to revisit the north of Japan to volunteer once again and see firsthand how the recovery efforts were progressing. This has not happened. Instead, I found myself recently idling in Athens, Greece for a brief time. What happens Sunday will tell ...
