    WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- A female student shot two dead before killing herself on Friday in a technical college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, according to a TV report.

    Baton Rouge police spokesman Don Kelly told CNN that officers arrived at Louisiana Technical College after receiving a 911 call and found three female victims already dead in a classroom on the second floor of the school building, including the shooter herself.

    Police have began a thorough investigation, questioning witnesses and looking for the motivation of the shooting, Kelly said.

    No other casualty reported in the college so far, he added.

Not sure what this is all about.  Looks like Quinn has developed a "following" on another discussion board that is now spilling over onto AED:

Quote:I assume that when Dr. Scheel refers to Bayer, he means me, John Bear. Accuracy is not his long suit. He writes, “Accrediting Commission International has over 300 schools. There may be 50 of these that at one time were accredited by the Missouri organization. They were not ALL invited to join. We did invite several of them to join who met our qualifications.
Well, not exactly. On December 22, 1988, Dr. Scheel wrote to every member of the disgraced Missouri organization, as follows: “We will accept all members who have member status with the old organization on a basis until January 20, 1989.

Scheel 2008: "They were not ALL invited to join."
Scheel 1998: "We will accept ALL members..."

Scheel even used to deny that the 1988 letter existed, until I was able to get a copy of it from a disgruntled former IAC member.

The character Rich Douglas, who has become a public figure shamelessly promoting his expertise in education based on his own questionable education and sketchy background, gets my nomination for the hall of shame. This guy is an educational obsessive who skated through his various college degrees with a minimum of class time and effort who gleefully points to others declaring their substandardness. His own statements in the past have indicated that he practically stole his degrees by simply taking a single test to gain course credit. Then later he graduates from a Union Institute design-it-yourself program after what appears to be minimal time spent. With the help of a personal friend on his doctoral committee (John Bear) he is awarded a Ph.D on the basis of a simplistic questionnaire and a few interviews. He seems to have been in charge of all known air space with immeasurable authority and responsibility as a low-level AF officer and then as a civilian has flitted from one little job after another (some teaching or assisting unaccredited schools). He is an incessant poster who has been tossed from a number of forums for his obnoxiousness. He believes he is an expert in post-secondary education and continually harps on the futility of state approved education or accreditation other than RA. He slavishly follows the changing concepts of his buddy Bear (aka Klempner) who has spent much of his mid-life and later years starting unaccredited schools, then trashing those same schools in various books and media interviews, for whatever notoriety, sensationalism, and profit he could gain. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Douglas' one piece of aging research appears to be his dissertation which amounted to an institutional name recognition exercise. One of his findings indicated that State Approved schools were very acceptable to an overwhelming number of employers until (not surprisingly) he introduced his spin during interviews to bias the findings and lo and behold acceptability dropped. What truly amazing science!!! On that bit of Nobel-qualifying work, he (in his mind) is now an authority on education. ...Gasp....  

May we all be spared this "expertise".

Jack (a/k/a Jack Tracey, Jack the Ripper) posts a link at DD concerning the outrageous increase in the cost of textbooks since 1986. Typical Jack, he has gotten too lazy to even post so he uses links more and more frequently. It is easier than trying to think up something relevant to post.

Carl Reginstein, the radical left-wing civil servant from West Virginia, takes that as an opportunity to call the current funding system for higher education in the U.S. a "disgrace." He then slides in a comment about money that has been diverted into the "black hole" of K-12 education as well as into "prisons to lock up the uneducated." Typical silly left-wing nonsense - a lot of the funding that has gone into the "correctional system" has gone for better facilities, better pay and benefits for employees (always unsung heroes), and for increased "correctional" programs to reduce recidivism. But Reginstein, a hypocritical, two-faced phony if there ever was one, has never let the facts get in the way of some DesElms-type rant.

That was annoying enough, but Bear then let's loose with some story about an offer to write a text, the lowball offer by the greedy publisher, his clever agent/lawyer's counter-offer, the inside story of the textbook publishing industry and how lucrative his outside consultant business is at present. He then casually throws out that he has been offered a part-time teaching job at a nearby university next summer on fantastic terms.  

Check this thread in a couple of days. Maybe Douglas will post and tell everyone, yet again, how much he is "pulling down"? I have come to the conclusion that the primary motivation of the RA-only fanatics for participating in this arena (DL) is to stroke their own egos and, in a few cases, to put money in their pockets.

DegreeDiscussion thread

From DD's discussion on RA or NO WAY:

"With all due respect to Jonathan, he has asked the wrong question. The entire "RA or no-way" campaign was designed by certain undesirable elements to try to portray the promotion of legitimate schools/degrees as an extremist position. There was never any real opposition to NA or GAAP degrees. In fact, many of the members of these DL boards have long promoted such degrees, myself included. In some cases, the debate has not even been about accredited v. unaccredited schools as there have been some well regarded unaccredited schools that have been mentioned time and time again. Over the years we have seen some of these unaccredited schools move into the realm of accreditation and these moves have been universally celebrated.

The problem has been that these undesirable elements have sought to equate their degree mill "degrees" with NA or GAAP degrees. Like a stupid kid on a skateboard they have sought to latch onto a bus/car/truck and be pulled effortlessly into legitimacy. Dividing the world of education into two parts [RA (legitimate) and no-way (illegitimate)] is a non-starter. The key is specificity. Let's look at each school as a separate entity. We know that not all RA schools are the same. This is true of DETC schools, GAAP schools and unaccredited schools as well. A survey about RA or no-way needs to be more specific before it becomes useful."

Stalking Steve Foerster has more in common with Goose and Elmer than just his RA or no way philosophy or his spare time stalking activities.  Just like those two sanctimonious hypocrites, he's a flake who doesn't pay his bills.  In fact, he doesn't even bother supporting his own kids.

They sure seem to have problems with Mohammed Schmidt - racist bastards! Perhaps they've been licking Janko's jackboots. And he's stepped in a lot of it. Don't read all 9 or more pages full of venom and vile hatred.

Well, Bill, when an internet fatwahead says bad things about you, Jimmy and I are going to snicker at him, and defend you (you're a made guy, Bill, we gotta do it) at least until the FBI comes and hauls us away to Czestochowa or Urban Harvest and we are never seen again.

Did I ever tell you I met J Edgar Hoover many years ago? True fact."

Perhaps during a lingerie modeling session. Or maybe Janko left the back door open?
