Colleagues,
 
Here is a great idea from Kathie Mackin (kjmackin at worldpath.net) regarding
large file attachments.  I have used the site that she mentions.  It really
works well.

Hi, David~ I just read Nicole's message and I have a suggestion for her and
others that may work for them.  I, too, am on dial up and when I see that my
emails are taking a long time to download, I know that there is a big
document coming in. So, I get out of my email account (close it down) and go
straight to the internet to look at my messages through www.mail2web.com
<http://www.mail2web.com/> .  You just plug in your email address and
password and all of your emails that are waiting to download will be
displayed.  You can see where the big documents are and either open them,
save them, or delete them right from the Internet.  That way they won't bog
down my email and phone service. Please feel free to pass this tip on to
others.  Maybe you have other suggestions for "dial up" overload, but this
works for me.  Best, Kathie Mackin

I appreciate the good intention but please have mercy on the poor souls who
have dial-up!  I susbcribe to many lists.  This last message has jammed my
computer for hours when it did not crash.  This was repeated several times.
My "work" computer is in my home since I do not have a physical office.  My
land line is also useless for hours.  Please provide links instead.
 
Thanks!

Released
 
 

NEWS RELEASE - May 21, 2007, NYC -- On behalf of the National Commission on
Adult Literacy,? MOUNTING PRESSURES FACING THE U.S. WORKFORCE AND THE
INCREASING NEED FOR ADULT?EDUCATION AND LITERACY was released today by the
Commission's chairman, its study director, and CAAL. The 67 resource
document was one of several presentations made at the April 17, 2007 meeting
of the National Commission. It was developed by Dennis Jones (President) and
Patrick Kelly (Senior Associate & Director, National Information Center) of
the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS).??
 
This publication consists largely of 50 color graphics reflecting NCHEMS
analysis and 2005 data from such multiple sources as OECD, the U.S. Census
Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Center for
Education Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Justice, the U.S. Department of
Education, GED Testing Service, and NCHEMS itself. NCHEMS concludes that
this data set -- including information on international comparisons, U.S.
demographic trends, U.S. education achievement levels, workforce education
levels, and other variables -- calls for a dramatically expanded and more
effective adult education and literacy enterprise in America. A short
introduction and executive summary by the authors accompanies their
compelling presentation.??
 
Although this document should not necessarily be taken to reflect
conclusions of the Commission at this stage (its work is still in progress),
the Commission is pleased to release it as a public service. Other materials
developed for the Commission's April 17th meeting will be provided in the
near future.
 
MOUNTING PRESSURES... is available in color PDF format at the CAAL website,
www.caalusa.org.?Bound color copies may also be purchased directly from CAAL
($25 each plus postage, bheitner at caalusa.org for ordering
instructions).?[Note: This is a large document best "read" in color. Persons
able to print only in black and white or having a slow speed connection may
do better to order it from CAAL.]?
