To do so, we re-imagined the online course pedagogy. That meant that we would use a cohort-based approach, use gamification and simulations extensively to promote action learning, provide regular feedback to students and also incorporate interaction with live faculty. Our online courses have an 85% completion rate, get rated very high on learning outcomes and have a net promoter score of 50. This is comparable to classroom courses.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ: AVGO) ("Broadcom"), a leading semiconductor device supplier to the wired, wireless, enterprise storage, and industrial end markets, today announced that it remains fully committed to pursuing its acquisition of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) ("Qualcomm"). Broadcom's offer of $70.00 per share, which consists of $60.00 in cash and $10.00 per share in Broadcom shares, represents a 28% premium over the closing price of Qualcomm's common stock on November 2, 2017, the last unaffected trading day prior to media speculation regarding a potential transaction, and a premium of 33% to Qualcomm's unaffected 30-day volume-weighted average price. The Broadcom proposal stands whether Qualcomm's pending acquisition of NXP Semiconductors N.V. ("NXP") is consummated on the currently disclosed terms of $110 per NXP share or is terminated.
Hock Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Broadcom, stated, "This transaction will create a strong, global company with an impressive portfolio of industry-leading technologies and products, and we have received positive feedback from key customers about this combination. We continue to believe our proposal represents the most attractive, value-enhancing alternative available to Qualcomm stockholders and we are encouraged by their reaction. Many have expressed to us their desire that Qualcomm meet with us to discuss our proposal. It remains our strong preference to engage cooperatively with Qualcomm's Board of Directors and management team."

Silicon Valley isn't the only place where prospects in tech are booming.
Average salaries of tech workers topped $90,000 in 13 cities across America last year, according to a new report from jobs database Dice.com. Meanwhile, the average salary for tech workers nationwide rose to $87,811 in 2013, an increase of more than $2,000 from the previous year.
"All companies are becoming tech companies," says Shravan Goli, president of Dice, which analyzed responses from more than 17,000 employed tech professionals in its latest report. "Industries like retail, commerce, or even publishing are all investing in technology and looking to create that competitive edge by taking advantage of the data that's in front of them."
Not surprisingly, Silicon Valley remains the most prosperous metropolitan area for tech workers, who earned on average $108,603 in 2013. That marked a 7.2% increase from the previous year. The No. 2 spot went to Baltimore/Washington D.C., while Atlanta, Ga., and Charlotte, N.C., cracked the $90,000 threshold for the first time.
Of the 13 top-paying cities, nine saw year-over-year increases in the average annual salary of tech employees, something Goli said is in line with the general trend of growth in the sector.
NEW YORK — Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, making a second White House bid as the Libertarian nominee, suspects he's risen to an impressive 10% in the latest national polls based less on his strength than on voter unhappiness with their other, better-known options.
"I understand that any third name — because of the disconnect or the polarization of (Donald) Trump and (Hillary) Clinton — any third name would be registering," Johnson, 63, told Capital Download on Thursday. "But 'anybody's' not on the ballot in all 50 states." He will be, and with his distinctive views on everything from gun restrictions (opposing almost all of them) and marijuana (supporting legalization) could put him in a position to draw enough votes to affect the presidential race even if he is unlikely to win it.
His immediate goal is to reach the 15% poll standing that would gain him admission to the presidential debates next fall, assuming they take place, and expose him to millions of American voters who have never heard of him before. And who knows what might happen then?
"The two parties are the minority party currently to independents," Johnson tells USA TODAY's weekly video newsmaker series. He says he disagrees with Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, on immigration, trade and more. And he says disparagingly that Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, believes "government is the solution to everything," and on national security issues "would be as hawkish as anybody who has occupied the presidency." But he volunteers that he doesn't think she was guilty of "criminal intent" in the controversies over the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, or her use of a private email server as secretary of State.
The record negative ratings for both major-party candidates — and the Libertarian Party's meticulous efforts to get on ballots in all 50 states and the District of Columbia — has opened a path for Johnson to become the most consequential third-party contender since Ross Perot two decades ago. Johnson and his running mate, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, have stronger Republican credentials than the GOP's presumptive nominee can claim.
And his longtime support for legalizing marijuana could help him appeal to Democratic-leaning Millennial voters who were drawn to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders but are less enthused about supporting Clinton. Johnson was the highest-ranking U.S. politician to back legalization until Sanders did so.
"I think it's a litmus test for having a brain, myself," Johnson says, saying there is "an unbelievable disconnect" between public support and politicians' caution on the issue. Still, he adds, "I haven't had a drink of alcohol in 29 years because of rock climbing and the notion of being the best that you can be, and in that same vein I've stopped using marijuana of any kind."
"It's been about seven weeks," he says, a decision to abstain that he would continue as president, if elected. "I want to be completely on top of my game, all cylinders."
In the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando that left 49 victims dead, Johnson says Americans would be safer if guns were more readily available, not more restricted — a stance that puts him in line with the fiercest advocates of Second Amendment rights. Even Trump has suggested in a tweet that he wants to discuss banning gun sales to those on the terrorist watch lists, a proposal Johnson opposes because some names may erroneously appear on them.
"All these atrocities have been happening in gun-free zones," he declares. "If there were law-abiding citizens that were carrying weapons — I'm not saying they would lessen the impact of these horrible atrocities, but maybe, maybe they could."
Johnson says the laws permitting "concealed carry" in some states have reduced violent crime. A criminal might think, he suggests, "Gee, do I try to steal this woman's purse in this parking lot, or seven or eight of these people who are around here, are they carrying weapons and I might get hurt, so I'm going to not accost her." Over the past five years, he himself has purchased two guns, kept at his home in Taos, for self-protection.
He also sees possession of guns as a bulwark against government tyranny.
"I mean, there have been atrocious drug raids and atrocious drug raids that have resulted in the death of individuals that were completely innocent," he says. "I would just ask the question, if the DEA knew they were raiding someone's home where they had automatic weapons, if that was just a known element of 'we're going to raid these people,' would they have raided them in the first place, just knowing that they had that deterrent?"
Even so, Johnson also says he has a "nuanced" view of the Libertarian Party platform plank, which opposes "all laws at any level of government" restricting guns. "We should be open to a discussion on keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill," he says. "I don't know how that manifests itself, but I'm looking to get elected president of the United States. I just want to let people know I have an open mind about how we might, how government might, interject itself in a lot of the problems we have."
The poll also shows that the Likud-Liberman-Haredi bloc would maintain its majority in any possible scenario, no matter what combinations of left and center parties it faces.
Aryeh Deri (R.) co-chair with Interior Minister Eli Yishai (L) of Shas is going to bring his list 3 seats from Likud, according to a new poll published Thursday.
A poll conducted by Dialogue (supervised by Professor Kamil Fox of the Tel Aviv University’s statistics department) and published today in Haaretz shows that Aryeh Deri’s return to the Hared-Sephardi party Shas will bring the party an additional three mandates (they currently have 11), while causing the Likud to go down to 24 from its current 27 mandates.
These figures are based on a presumption taht former prime minister Ehud Olmert will establish a centrist party together with Kadima members Shaul Mofaz and Tzipi Livni as well as the fledgling Yesh Atid party’s Yair Lapid. The poll also assumes that Aryeh Deri will head the Shas slate alongside Eli Yishai (which, as of Wednesday night, he does).
According to the poll, conducted before Deri’s official return to Shas, in the aforementioned case, the right-wing block will not lose its majority of 63 mandates, while the Likud would be reduced to only 24 mandates, with Shas increasing to 14. In this scenario, the Olmert-Livni-Lapid party would receive 25 mandates, the Labor party 17 and Liberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu 13.
The poll also shows that in a scenario where Livni would join forces with Labor Party chairman Yachimovich and Deri out of Shas, there would be a slight shift in mandate distribution showing Likud with 27, Labor – 24, Yisrael Beiteinu – 13, Shas – 11, Yesh Atid – 10 and Kadima – 7.
(JTA) — A firebomb thrown at the El Ghriba synagogue on the Tunisian island of Djerba caused minor damage and no injuries.
The incident occurred Tuesday night amid protests over economic condition in several Tunisian cities, though not in Djerba itself, Reuters reported. There are no suspects.
In recent years, Israel’s Counterterrorism Bureau has warned Israelis not to travel to Tunisia for the annual pilgrimage to the El Ghriba synagogue, citing recent information that indicates the intention to carry out terror attacks against visiting Israelis or Tunisian Jewish communities.
The traditional festive procession near the El Ghriba synagogue on Djerba takes place on or around Lag b’Omer, a break during the 49 days of semi-mourning between Passover and Shavuot. It draws hundreds of Tunisian Jews and visitors from Israel.
The synagogue, in the village of Er-Riadh, dates back to 586 B.C., although the current building was reconstructed in the 19th century. El Ghriba is sometimes cited as North Africa’s oldest synagogue.
Kourtney Kardashian took to her Instagram account this week to hint at one of her girl crushes. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted multiple photos to her story this week, including some of actress Penelope Cruz.
According to a Sept. 2 report by OK! Magazine, Kourtney Kardashian posted multiple photos of Penelope Cruz, an Oscar-winning actress who has starred in movies such as Blow, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Vanilla Sky, Gothika, and many more.
Cruz has been considered one of Hollywood’s sexiest leading ladies for years now. Penelope is seemingly an idol to Kourtney, who posted some stunning photos of Cruz with no caption.
Kourtney Kardashian posted one photo of Penelope Cruz from the movie, Everybody Knows, with her co-star, Javier Bardem. She also posted a photo of Cruz with Johnny Depp, whom she co-starred with in both Blow and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Kardashian never revealed why she posted the photos of Penelope. It could be that she has a girl crush on the actress, or that she was watching her movies. In addition, Kourtney’s only daughter is also named Penelope, which could be one of the reasons she loves the actress so much.
According to a recent report by the Inquisitr, Kourtney Kardashian may have more time to watch one of her favorite actresses’ movies now that she and her boyfriend of nearly two years, Younes Bendjima, have split. The reality star is said to be doing well adjusting to her new single life, and has no intentions of getting back together with her former beau.
Sources tell Hollywood Life that Kardashian doesn’t want anything to do with Bendjima, and that she has even blocked his number so that she won’t have to deal with any of his drama.
“Kourtney doesn’t want anything to do with Younes anymore, she’s blocked his number and she doesn’t want to talk to him or text with him, she’s totally over it and he doesn’t feature in her future at all. Right now Kourtney is focusing on herself, her children, and repairing the relationship with her sisters which has definitely suffered over the past few months. Kourtney is actually feeling great right now, she’s in the best shape of her life, she feels like she really has her head together, and she’s really excited about the future,” an insider dished.
Fans can see more of Kourtney Kardashian’s life when Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on Sunday nights on the E! Network.
SAP has significantly improved the security of its products over the past few years but many of its customers are negligent with their deployments, which exposes them to potential attacks that could cripple their businesses, according to security researchers.
The biggest issue is that companies expose insecure SAP services to the Internet—not only HTTP services, but also critical administrative interfaces, Alexander Polyakov, chief technology officer at ERPScan, a developer of security monitoring products for SAP systems, said Tuesday.
Between 5 percent and 10 percent of companies that use SAP products expose critical services to the Internet that shouldn’t be publicly accessible, Polyakov said. This happens because they want to enable remote management or because of improper configurations, he said.
Most of the services have vulnerabilities that can be easily attacked, Polyakov said.
Publicly available exploits exist for many SAP vulnerabilities, including some that are part of Metasploit, a popular security testing tool.
The percentage of companies with exposed SAP services differs from country to country. The situation is better in North America and Europe and worse in the Asia-Pacific region, Africa and Latin America, Polyakov said. However, even 5 percent translates to a very large number of companies, he said.
Juan Perez-Etchegoyen, the chief technology officer at Onapsis, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company that develops security products for ERP systems, believes that the number of companies running vulnerable SAP systems is actually higher than what Polyakov estimates and that it’s growing.
“What makes this worse is the fact that many systems are exposed to vulnerabilities with public exploits that have been known for five or even ten years. The risk for these organizations is huge,” he said Wednesday via email.
Another problem is the high number of publicly accessible Web servers that run outdated SAP applications. Using Google search, ERPScan researchers identified 695 unique servers with different SAP Web applications, and an additional 3,741 servers were found using the SHODAN search engine.
SAP NetWeaver J2EE and SAP NetWeaver ABAP were the most common SAP applications found on the servers. However, the most common versions of these two applications were SAP NetWeaver ABAP version 7.0 EHP 0 and SAP NetWeaver J2EE version 7.00, both of which were released in 2005.
Deployments of older versions of these products are not necessarily vulnerable if their administrators applied all patches and followed all security advice issued by SAP over the years.
However, it is more likely for an old version deployment to be more vulnerable than a new one, because newer versions of these products are more secure in their default configurations, Polyakov said.
Polyakov released some data about exposed SAP services earlier this month during a presentation at the RSA Asia Pacific 2013 security conference. However, more information about the results of ERPScan’s research into the state of SAP security will be released in upcoming weeks as part of a larger report, he said.
Securing SAP systems is important because interest in SAP platform security has been growing among security researchers, but also among zero-day exploit buyers and sellers, according to Polyakov’s RSA presentation slides.
Potential attacks against SAP systems could be driven by different motivations, Polyakov said.
Such attacks could be used to steal financial information, corporate secrets, human resources data, supplier and customer lists for economic espionage. They could also be used to perform false transactions and modify data for fraud purposes, or they could be used to disrupt systems or modify financial reports for sabotage.
Compromising SAP servers in order to attack other types of systems connected to them is also a possibility, Polyakov said. For example, SAP servers are sometimes connected to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems in order to receive and process data from them, he said.
SCADA systems are used to control and monitor industrial, infrastructure, and facility-based processes.
Someone who compromises a SAP system could easily launch a denial-of-service attack against a SCADA system connected to it, Polyakov said.
A cyberwar-like scenario where someone creates a computer worm to attack SAP systems and disrupt business at major companies in one particular country would also be possible, Polyakov said. Such an attack could have a significant economic impact, he said.
Nunez noted a positive change in the last two years with leading organizations starting to protect their SAP systems against cyberattacks. However, “the unfortunate reality is that, many organizations still believe SAP Security is only about roles and profiles, and leave their systems totally exposed to technical vulnerabilities,” he said.
“We’d like to thank Alexander Polyakov for increasing our awareness for this important topic,” SAP spokesman Hilmar Schepp, said Tuesday via email. Polyakov has been working with SAP for several years, and thanks to the close collaboration SAP was able to provide patches for various security issues, he said.
“SAP’s software and solutions meet the highest security standards,” Schepp said. The company is working closely with customers on implementation issues and advises them to activate the appropriate security configurations, he said.
Ottawa police are seeking public assistance in locating a suspect in a robbery last week in which the female victim was choked unconscious.
The robbery occurred after the pair had a “pre-arranged meeting” at 5:35 p.m. on Dec. 16 on Albert Street between Elgin and Metcalfe. Police did not describe the nature of the meeting.
The suspect choked the woman and demanded she hand over her money. He continued to choke her until she lost consciousness, then took her money and left.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, 35 to 42 years old, five feet six inches (168 cm) tall with a brown beard and moustache.
He was wearing jeans, a dark sweater, dark leather jacket, dark gloves and a dark-coloured tuque.
Anyone with information should call the Ottawa Police Service robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.
Little did I imagine, 60 years ago, when I began my career in government as a District Land Officer in the ramshackle old Kachcheri, on Inner Harbour Road, in Trincomalee that, almost 20 years later I would return as Government Agent – and be thrice blessed to recover sacred Buddhist relics from the protecting earth and, later, to be custodian of three wonderful images of the Buddha.
Decades ago, a Government Agent represented every Department of Government in the District he administered. Archaeology was, thus, one of my responsibilities and had a personal resonance for me as my father, D.T.Devendra, was an eminent archaeologist.
One day I received a call from the Police Station in Uppuveli, on the outskirts of town, that they had taken into custody a presumed robber of ancient sites together with some artifacts. When I drove up to the Police Station I found several policemen curiously looking at the objects displayed on the table of the Officer-in-Charge. These were two Buddha images each about 10 inches in height, a saucer of little white ‘seeds’, a peacock feather, trays of jasmines, hibiscus and marigolds, a cluster of joss-sticks, an oil lamp (extinguished), skeins of yellow thread and other paraphernalia associated with ‘poojas’. In a corner of the room squatted a long haired man in a yellow verti and a necklace of large seeds looking most woebegone at the loss of his means of livelihood.
The Police Officer’s story was most interesting. He had observed a gradually increasing number of ‘devotees’ beginning to frequent a newly established ‘devala’ to seek blessings and pray for favours. Unobtrusive observation showed that the objects on the ’ were two obviously ancient Buddha images. The Police were well aware that ancient images were the property of temple bhikkus or the Archaeological Department, and not itinerant ‘sadhus’. The ‘sadhu’ in question was promptly taken into custody together with his "tools of the trade" on suspicion of having vandalized an ancient temple. Under interrogation he denied robbery and claimed that a man from a jungle village had sold it to him. Being a most resourceful chap he lost no time to set about establishing his own devala as a source of income and had built up quite a clientele with his genuine sounding mumbo-jumbo.
Both images and the saucer of little white fragments were duly handed over to me as the legal custodian of ancient objects in Trincomalee. When I got into my car Maharoof, my general factotum, reverently carried the ancient images placed on a white cloth on his lap. Back at the Residency I cleared the desk in my office room [equipped with an impressive old safe] and placed the images on it. It was time for a detailed inspection and I placed the images beneath the bright beam of my reading lamp.
Both statues were seated in ‘Samadhi’ mode, most popular ‘mudra’ in Sri Lanka’s sedent Buddha statues. The first I studied was of white, slightly rough textured ‘soap stone’. It was in pristine condition in spite of centuries of enshrinement in the enveloping dark and tons of earth of an ancient stupa. The features radiated serenity. What really entranced me, my wife and children, was that streaks of the original red paint that yet remained in the sculpted folds of the robe.
The other statue, though sadly damaged and crudely patched, was a sculptural gem. It was carved in smooth and transparent crystal. It had been split across the middle, probably by the rough tools of the temple robbers. The two pieces had been refixed in their original position but, tragically, pasted using some black substance. I do not think that, to date, I have seen such a lovely little statue. It is an exact replica of the famous Toluvila Buddha with its delicately moulded torso.
Several times that day I quietly came back to the room to contemplate the two images whose custodian I had become after many centuries. At last, I reverently placed them in the old Colonial wall safe.
As for the contents of the saucer, my father told me an interesting story. Some years ago he had been in Hiriwadunna near Sigiriya. Investigating an old ‘devala’ led him to the house of its ‘kapurala’. The man was not at home but his snot-nosed little grandson was around. When asked where the kapurala was, in all innocence, the boy came out with the amazing statement "He’s busy turning out relics [‘dathu ambaranawaa’]" – a cottage industry of the kapurala fraternity! The contents of the saucer from Uppuveli were pretty obviously such a product. However, to be on the cautious side, I placed the saucer in the safe. When I retrieved it a few weeks later – the saucer was empty. I will never know whether the constituent elements of a man made relic just dissolved or – did some real sacred relics supernaturally beam themselves out of the profane confines of the old English safe?
Some days later my father visited us in Trincomalee and, naturally, was fascinated by the statues. After a careful examination he pronounced both of them as typical of the Anuradhapura period over a thousand years ago. A stickler for correct action, he advised me against retaining the images in the Residency. They had to be handed over to the Archaeological Department without delay. I duly, but most regretfully, followed his instructions and lost the beautiful statues for ever – where they probably lie in some corner of a forgotten cupboard of the Archaeological Department.
Way back in the 1970s Gomarankadawala was a remote, but lovely, village in the Vanni jungle. Not far from it, in a swampy patch of ground stood the stone pillars of an ancient shrine. This was the site of the hot-water spring of Rankiri Ulpotha. Gomarankadawala was also the Divisional ‘capital’ housing the Headquarters of my Divisional Assistant Government Agent [A.G.A] who headed the only Sinhala Division in Trincomalee District. Its claim to distinction was that it had been the easternmost outpost of the Kandyan Kingdom. Incidentally, it was, thus, governed by the Kandyan Marriage Ordinance which gave the Government Agent the legal authority to divorce incompatible couples, without lengthy Court proceedings.
One morning, Mr. Y.B. Dissanayake, the A.G.A., came to meet me at the Kachcheri carrying a heavy little parcel wrapped in newspaper. He placed it before me and carefully unwrapped it to reveal an unusual granite image of the Buddha. What was most interesting was that it was not a free standing image. The sedent Buddha, not more than four inches in height, was recessed into its own shrine. This was a small solid ‘column’ with an alcove cut deep into it to hold the Buddha image on a pedestal. The alcove was surrounded by a neatly patterned arch. A stupa formed the roof of the shrine, its pinnacle sadly lost. This unique artifact had been found in a termite ant hill [‘humbaha’] by a peasant digging into it for earth to build his home. The Rajarata peasant was a law abiding man who promptly hastened to carry his find to the A.G.A. And now it lay on my desk – en route to its temporary sojourn in the Residency safe.
Serendipitously, my brother Somasiri was staying with me in the Residency. He was Commandant of the Naval and Maritime Academy in the Navy Dockyard. Talking about the statue, now in the Residency, he suggested that his craftsmen may be able to cast a metal replica from a mould as a permanent souvenir once I had ‘surrendered’ the original to the Archaeological Department. This was done with great skill and the metal replica, looking almost stone-like [photo], now graces my home. As for the original, I presume it lies forgotten in the dim recesses of the Archaeological Department to which I duly handed over this unique masterpiece of the Sinhala sculptor’s art.
POSTSCRIPT Many years later, on pilgrimage in Buddha Gaya, to my ‘serene joy and emotion’, I observed a few of these identical little shrines made as votive offerings to the Sacred Bodhi by our King Sri Meghavarna many centuries ago.
Trustees with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District have offered the position of interim superintendent to William Brand.
Brand would replace departing Interim Superintendent Leslie Codianne, who is scheduled to retire at the end of the month.
He could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
The veteran administrator would only be onboard a few months, because MPUSD trustees are in the process of hiring a permanent superintendent. Board President Jon Hill said Wednesday the board expects to have a superintendent onboard July 1.
The final contract for Brand is scheduled to be approved at a special meeting on Tuesday.
Administrators and lawyers are ironing out details of the contract, Hill said. Besides overseeing the transition to a new superintendent, trustees have to define what other duties they would like him to take on.
Brand most recently worked for the King City Union School District, where he began on an interim basis in July 2010 and remained until June 2013. During his tenure, he implemented difficult and controversial choices such as ending bus service and laying off dozens of teachers in an effort to balance the budget.
The result was a district that did not need a state takeover such as neighboring King City Joint Union School District. Both districts used the same administrative personnel until 2009 when trustees voted for a separation.
Brand worked for the Santa Paula Union High School District, the San Luis Coastal Unified School District and the Escondido Union School District.
The search to find a full-time superintendent will hit another milestone on Friday, which is the deadline to apply. Trustees will interview candidates over two days starting April 5.
The next version of Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment, known for now by its "Visual Studio (VS) 10" codename, is beginning to take shape.
Update: Looks like Schlimmer removed the original post. Here's the cached version.
Schlimmer also included notes on other changes coming "later" -- which I'm taking to mean either in VS11 or some kind of interim delivery vehicle.
Schlimmer said Microsoft has four "pushes" for VS10 (which, at one point, also was known by the codename "Hawaii.") The team wants to make VS "the developer's favorite application;" to focus especially on the needs of small- to mid-size business (SMB) users; to "ride the latest (2009) platform technologies;" and to improve the underlying infrastructure.
