6．There are many good online universities available．If you are considering this option for getting your degree，don't forget to check out this gem．Rather than give the standard sales pitch I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor's University for my master's degree．
Lower tuition（学费）
    The tuition is lower than comparable online schools．Each term is six months long，giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term．In addition，if I finish early and still have time left in my term，I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for me schooling．I find this option to be very cost-effective．
Flexible courses．
     If I have learned enough either through life experience，on the job training，or in class，I can take the exam and skip the other course．For example，I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field，attended conferences，and took classes for my second bachelor's degree．1 was able to take the test，and pass，thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time．
Personal support
    I have a mentor assigned to me．My mentor is my contact person for questions and support．I get calls on a regular basis．We talk about where I am in my studies，what my next steps are，and any question I may have．I also have the online Communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions．
Respected degree
    I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go．I learned that a degree from Western Governor's University Was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar（灰泥）university．
    I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor's University．I gain confidence in my abilities，and I am very happy with my decision．

5．Why buy a new car when you can improve the one you have with the latest technology？Here are two new methods that will not only make life behind wheel more comfortable but may also end up saving you money．

WI-FI on Wheels  It's not enough that children complain about having nothing to watch on television． These days，they even complain about having nothing to watch in the car．Fortunately，for every unsatisfied youth，there is a new technological solution：Wi-Fi Internet access  for the back seat of your vehicle．     In the United States，Chrysler is the first to offer such a system，which turns any Chrysler or Dodge into a Wi-Fi hotspot，Called UConnect，the  499 dealer-installed option is a high-speed cell-like Internet connection with a wireless router that sits in your car's trunk（行 李箱）．Monthly service costs  29 for Internet access，which is available to any device that has Wi-Fi and is within 100 feet of your car． With UConnect，passengers can check emails messages on a laptop，send instant messages to friends or watch YouTube videos online．It allows passengers to search for movie listings on a smart phone or connect a Sony PSP video game player to the Web．It also offers the ability to freely upload photos from a Wi-Fi-equipped digital camera to an online sharing service like Flickr． For critics who claim that putting Wi-Fi Internet access in a car feeds the danger of driver disfr2K；（ion（分散注意力），parents may well disagree：What's more distracting，the temptation to check email or a lot of children talking to you from the back seat？

Watch Your Back     Blind spots behind cars and SUV's make backing up dangerous as well as potentially deadly for children．Nationally，the group Kids and Cars estimates that two children a week are killed by cars backing up．The   Transportation Department  is  establishing visibility standards for future vehicles，but there's no need to wait．        A back-view back system can be an  expensive option in a new car．In the 2008   Subaru Tribeca，for example，the back-view camera option is available only in connection with the inner navigation system，at a price of   2，400．And professionally equipped systems can cost  400 0r more．However，there are  now inexpensive back-view packages you can help yourself，such as the  130 Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System．It includes a camera that increases on a back license-plate holder and grasps onto a vehicle's backup light．It can send a back-view image to a small L．C．D．Monitor that can be carried  into  electronic  equipment  and increased on the dashboard（仪表板）． Audiovox claims the camera housing is not afraid of dust．In some areas where radio waves are p4ntiful，the image can be affected by occasional interference，but the picture， with its wide 110-degree camera point，is good enough to see things or children behind you．
