"Tenured Prof" at DD:

Quote:Other than your ignoring your admitted hypocrisy - your track record with "snarky little comments" is all over the map - usually following by a "I'm leaving and will never return" announcement - followed by a return a few weeks later.

This behavioral track record may partially explain why you retired after 20 years with a junior miltary rank most officers achieve within 3-4 years - and then move beyond.

Tom, just what "we" do you share with millist and Nations University fake college namesake Muhammad Schmidt? I can't conceive of any whatever. Nations is being used by Schmidt as a vehicle of legitimisation (sic). Sincerity is crap: let that be our watchword. Consider your real degrees, real ministry, etc; Schmidt's series of phony archbishopric, phony Islam, phony Serbian college, phony Polish degrees, internet hate sites, unremitting attacks on Bill for being real, etc., etc., has nothing in common with anything of yours except original sin.

What you represent is antithetical to Schmidt. Sloppy talk of 'sincerity" is neither Christian nor worthy of an educated man of integrity. It is a plague of American bonhomie we are all better off without, because it makes beneficiaries of bad people like Muhammad Wolfgang G. A. Schmidt.

Blessings on your ministry and learning.

I honestly don't understand PhD failure Janko's motivation. Schmidt is a graduate of a great German university, has published endless books and papers, including translations from Chinese to German. He is a true and respected academic. Janko is an academic failure. His church is buried in a butthole of a tiny Michigan town because they fear the damage he could do with a bigger congregation. He's one scary SOB.

I just spotted a fake school today.
I did not need edition XXXVIII of Bear's guide, I did not need to put up with the nonsense from uncle Janko and I did not need to do the XVIII century bow in front of financial frauds, perverts, misfits, gay teen pornographers etc.
I am not going to name the 'school' but it is a UK provider offering tuition in matters related to foreign affairs, diplomacy etc, and awarding its own awards.
Now a few typos got my attention first; it is unlikely that a serious, AAA+ 'university' might allow those on their websites.
Maybe non-native English speakers?

Their do claim to be accredited by a few 'agencies' i have never heard about, so i made a couple calls to UCAS & others, and they have no clue who these people are.

State diploma authorization office goes after Marino's Ph.D.

Quote:Posted by The Oregonian May 05, 2008 17:04PM

Tigard Republican Tony Marino definitely won't be able to flex his Ph.D. creds in Oregon anymore.

Last week, the candidate for Oregon House 35 inserted a unique tell-all letter into local newspapers, outlining the mistakes he's made and how he's learned from them. Among his admitted shortcomings: a marketing doctorate from an on-line university that's not accredited in Oregon.

Marino hasn't touted the diploma from Ashwood University in political material, but downloadable books available on his business Web site (www.americawebworks.com) referred to him as "Tony Marino, Ph.D."

On Monday, the state Office of Degree Authorization sent a letter asking him to back up his claim with an official transcript. Oregon is among a dozen states, including Washington, that polices pretty strictly who can claim an advanced degree.

Ashwood University offers all sorts of diplomas, starting at $239, and gives credit for life experience.

"As far as I know, it's a fake," said Alan Contreras, administrator of the Office of Degree Authorization.

Marino, an Internet marketing consultant who co-hosts a weekly show on-line, said he'll remove the references right away. He wants to do the right thing, he said, and did not know he had been violating a state law.

"Obviously, I believe based on my life's experience, and my service to my country and all the other things I've done professionally in my life, I believe I deserve it."

The "Stolen Valor Act" -- can it apply to fake deg
I was intrigued by a big story on the evening news here in Los Angeles last night, about a well-known politician who, it turns out, lied about being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The reporter suggested that he could be sent to prison for a year under the Stolen Valor Act, a federal felony crime. I was not familiar with this relatively new law, relating to falsely claiming medals and honors (http://tinyurl.com/6bydzv). Seems to me it wouldn't take much to broaden the interpretation to include falsely claiming degrees.

WTF? Say it ain't so! Can it be, the one, the only ... Gus Sainz? Has he abandoned his own crappy site to return to posting at DI? Have Uncle J and the rest of the idiots who roam that forum driven Gus to abandon ship and return to DI? What does Bruce the Cop and Chip the Pornographer, I mean businessman, think about that?

Or, is it possible that there is someone else who uses the name Gus who happens to have an interest in DL and is somewhat knowledgeable about TESC and Excelsior?

Gus' profile at DI

It looks like cyberstalker extraordinaire Bill Huffman has returned to posting at DI. Another loser returning home. Maybe he was drawn back by Bruce Tait's suspension from the Quincy PD? I don't know why that would cause anyone to go back to DI but Huffman is a one weird individual. I doubt that Gus will try to convince him to return.

Quote:Clayton College of Natural Health Awarded Quality Certification by United States Distance Learning Association

04.23.2008, Birmingham—Clayton College of Natural Health has been awarded the Quality Standards Certification by the United States Distance Learning Association.

USDLA/QS certification is “a standards based program that recognizes excellence across a range of distance learning settings,” according to Dr. John G. Flores, USDLA Chief Executive Officer. Clayton College has been certified as an Alternative and Continuing Education provider under the Quality Standards program. Based on a rigorous peer review process, it is designed both to protect the public and to improve the distance learning experience.

“USDLA Quality Standards certification is a stringent program. The college can be justifiably proud of its accomplishment,” said Dr. Flores. “Even greater, though, is the confidence this gives students. With certification comes the assurance of fair treatment within a strong, responsive distance learning program. And because ‘continuous improvement’ is built–in — the school gets better and better!”

A school undergoing the certification process must agree to abide by the USDLA/QS Code of Conduct and complete a lengthy self–study. The certification process culminates with an on–site review by a USDLA site team, including interviews with faculty, staff, and students, to verify the institution’s compliance with the Standards of Practice.

“The USDLA Quality Certification is an important validation of the high quality of Clayton College and its programs,” said Clayton College CEO Dr. Bernard Feld.

The USDLA site team, chaired by Dr. Jan McMahill, Dean of the School of Education at Drake University, found that Clayton College “met or exceeded our expectations throughout.”

USDLA/QS certification is awarded for a five–year period, subject to continued satisfactory performance, adherence to the Code of Conduct, and an integral program of continuous improvement.

Yes a 4 day holiday. Guilty of the crime of being the biggest ass in Quincy police history. There are hundreds of posts of Bruce thumbing his nose at his superiors and not having other police officers do their job.
