Last night it all went down on the Tiny Tonight Show on VH1, yes she has a new talk show!
The Tiny Tonight Show aired last night and the former Xscape singer was joined by her celeb friends Tamar Braxton, Trina and model Claudia Jordan. The show is similar to ABC's The View where the women sat around discussing things going in the entertainment world. From Chris Brown, Rihanna and Karrueche's love triangle to Beyonce faking her pegnancy to Joseline Hernandez from the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta show being a man and they even talked about the American Idol drama between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
Everyone expressed their opinions, especially Tamar who everyone knows speaks her mind and that she did last night. When talking about Beyonce's pregnancy, she said she believes it was fake and that she thought Joseline was a man when she first saw her, for a second we forgot who the host of the show really was.
Little did Tamar know that Joseline was watching the show last night and tweeted:
@MsJoseline: @TamarBraxton Her b–ch u got a d--- u f--- u know who whit you wanna be beyonce old PUTA. U a mess. I stay on u hoes mind. U 2 old
@MsJoseline: @TamarBraxtonHer I fight old hoes. Iol. #trowback. N give it up u like 100 u been trying all your life. Get back brawd. Lol
@MsJoseline: Grandmamas always b hating
Here's some highlights from the show:

Tiny Tonight! 2012: Year in Review
Tiny shared her personal story about bumping into Beyonce and rubbed her then pregnant belly. She also spoke about meeting the legend Whitney Houston for the first time. Trina was more laid back not trying to piss anyone off while Claudia was poised and answered everything that was brought up.
I'm not going to lie, the show was fun to watch lol.

Claypot Chicken Rice Recipe (without Claypot)
I am lazy by nature, very lazy.
If I were to choose something to describe my laziness, it's probably snake. Yeah, I am kind of like a snake. I don't like to move around too much, unless I really have to, for example: when I have to eat or when nature calls. My perfect way of spending time is just to sit around and do nothing. In my opinion, being idle is one of life's greatest luxuries. Sitting around, lying about, curling up in a ball on the couch, in the bed, just do nothing. Well, throw in some day dreaming here and there…you get the idea.
But I feel lazier than usual recently. I must have been bitten by a giant lazy bug–I am lethargic, unmotivated, sluggish, and blah. My laziness has affected my daily rituals; I haven't mopped my floor for two weeks, haven't cleaned the kitchen countertop in the last three weeks, haven't vacuumed since last month. (Yeah, my house will soon become a natural habitat for Spiderman as cobwebs are popping up everywhere.)
Perhaps it's just the hot hot summer. The heat drains energy and vitality, plus summer beckons outdoor activities. So, I spend less time in the kitchen and more time outside having fun (which I should be)…
I still cook, but I cheat a lot, such as this claypot chicken rice without claypot. I love claypot chicken rice but I am too lazy to cook it from scratch. So, for convenience purposes, I used rice cooker. Why not? Who has time to stand there in front of the stove and wait for eternity for the chicken rice to cook in the claypot while there is a do-it-all-by-itself rice cooker? Duh. I have better things to do outside of the kitchen.
I am going to enjoy this summer and take things slow. So be prepared to get one or two posts a week from me. Be rest assured, even though I am lazy, I never sacrifice taste or authenticity when it comes to my cooking.
OK, I just got lazy again, so I will have to share my claypot chicken rice recipe later. *wink*

That looks pretty tasty. Do you have a recipe?
gal u need some real inspiration, like maybe go cocking without oooking? Or got anything to do with boys or not ? Or maybe its Men again.
sorry keyboard problem shud read cooking that one
I love cooking in the rice cooker! Especially in this hot weather, when I don't want to turn on the stove or the oven. Looking forward to your recipe for this chicken…
looks more like those steam rice bowl with dishes on top :)
By looking at the title, I was wondering – Oi, where got claypot??? There goes the first sentence….'I am lazy'..lol! Looks tasty though..
At the frequency you post, I would NEVER call you lazy! I just wanted to thank you for your kind comments on my site regarding my move away from SF. You are a source of inspiration and friendship, and I am glad that I "virtually" am getting to know you from your food blog. Best wishes Bee!
Woohoo!! Once a while we will rice cooker-pot the chicken rice just like you but I still prefer the real thing out there, especially with the burnt rice bits ;)
*patpat* That's why I hired a maid to help the wife around the house. Like you, we both work full time at stressful jobs. Laziness is a luxury we can afford. If you'd like, I can give you the name of the lady who cleans for me. =)
The oven also works for clay pot rice, but it's too hot this month to use the oven. Crock pots do an ok job.
Sounds like that lazy bug is going around! I've been bitten too.
*Psst* Let you in on a little secret, am a "snake" by birth..I call it being efficient…not lazy ;) ROFL.
Dish looks delicious. Recipe?
I know the feeling! Doing nothing is a lost art…I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loves it :) Ok, take your time and my rice cooker is at the ready for your recipe! :)
Hope the lazy bug will be gone soon! :o)
I love claypot chicken rice… the best I had was in S'pore… it was so good!
i really really like the picture of the bowl of rice.
Its not just the rice, but the whole picture.
With me, laziness is an actual character trait rather than being a bug bite. So consider yourself lucky that you can become productive whenever you want;) Me, I'm lazy by nature.
Can't wait for the recipe.
my mum had once made claypot chicken rice using the rice cooker! nice!
once in a while, the lazy bug do bite us, girl. :)
I know what you mean. The lethargy and laziness in summer months! I cook and bake less often over here too :(
and i tot i was the only one getting the lazy bug fr the sun! lol!
Go lie down or laze around, the recipe can wait. I am glad that you have the time to just chill.
I have both the Lazy Bug and the Procrastination Bug… LOL
But here's me doing some catch-up:
1. Congrats on your chives pic winning!
2. Will send your secret project for submission this weekend. *wink, wink*
3. Three cheers for taking things slow this summer! :)
Now for more yummy posts from Rasa Malaysia…
Hiya…lazy bug in me too…which Spiderman come visit you har, 1,2 or 3? Enjoy the longer days…I'm also posting lesser now.
I totally know what you mean, heat makes me sooo lethargic. I hate vacuuming to begin with. :P
Bee, I've come out with this year's Merdeka Open House topic, pls check Merdeka Open House 2007. Hope you can join the fun.
hey gal, that so-called "laziness" may be no more than a case of mild depression. Which hits us all once in a while. You know the feeling — no motivation, daily grind of chores, school, work, cleaning up, the sameness every single day, nothing to look forward to. Like, why clean when it will get messy again in a day or two, right?
Antidote? Sleep more. Get involved, whether it be community work, new hobby, seek new friend to go with to art gallery, cinema, etc. Don't get me wrong, depression hits us all like the flu bug, only that we don't recognize it. Once you recognize it for what it is, it is easier to get your motivation (and energy) back.
Sleep and get well soon. Coz you are everybody's sunshine here.

Ha! ha! ha! That's why my rice cooker is so handy. Have Rice Cooker Will Travel, mate!
oh that looks heavenly!! yum, this recipe is getting bookmarked how can i resist this chicken rice?!!
This recipe really, really makes my mouth water. I haven't had claypot chicken rice in awhile.
Your recipe looks great!!! Can't wait to try!!! I intend to use chinese sausage but not sure when to add in! Heeheehee…
OoOooOoOh!! I can't wait to try this out… maybe in the next couple of days or so. Cooking claypot rice in a rice cooker is ingenious… although you'd then miss out on scraping the crusty crispy rice off the bottom of the claypot at the end of your meal…
oOoOooOOoohh!! I can't wait to try out this recipe! Probably in the next couple of days! Cooking claypot rice in the rice cooker is ingenious! Although you'll miss out on scraping the bottom of the claypot for the crispy crust of rice at the end of your meal……
I have a question, in the ingredients section you list ginger, but I don't see it used in the directions for this dish? I am thinking you would stir fry this w/ the chicken?
Thought you would like to know that I tried this recipe yesterday and we loved it!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing,.. and I will definitely try the other dishes as well!!!
Hey great recipe. It was easy to follow and the results were impressive!

Police appeal after car is torched in Runcorn
2:59pm Thursday 4th October 2012 in News By Barbara Jordan, Chief Reporter

Firefighters discovered a car well alight at around 9.50pm on Monday, October 1.

Officers are following up a number of lines of enquiry as well as making house to house enquiries.

From the Jews of the McCarthy era to the post-9/11 Muslims, American politics always points its finger toward a scapegoat due to fear and lack of knowledge, said a panel of three speakers at the in Los Gatos on Tuesday.
"When ignorance and misinformation [are] exploited, [they] can lead to bigotry and hate," said Wajahat Ali, a Muslim-American playwright from Fremont. "You can inoculate yourself with proper information."
Brought together through the 2012 Silicon Valley Reads program, Ali was joined by San Jose State University political scientist Larry Gerston and Congressman Mike Honda for a "Paranoid Politics" panel.
Under this year's theme "Muslim and American: Two Perspectives," the SV Reads program organized a series of discussion panels, kicking off in February through a talk on the selected book, "The Muslim Next Door."
Honda, who spent his childhood in a Japanese internment camp in Colorado, spoke about how prejudice against "the other" can build unknowingly.
When people use derogatory ethnic terms it's often "part of their vocabulary," said Honda, referencing a recent incident when an ESPN headline writer used such a phrase in reference to Jeremy Lin.
In general, added Gerston, people are afraid of what is "seen as a threat to the status quo," be it immigration or diversity in general. The public finds itself in a fight or flight pattern, where it shies away from the unknown.
This creates misinformed ideas such as, "Mexicans are taking our jobs -- even though no one is going to go out there for $8 an hour to pick fruit -- but they're taking our jobs," said Gerston.
Such stereotypes and pre-conceived ideas have lead Americans to be scared of Muslims, said Ali, adding that 62 percent of Americans say they don't personally know one. Increasing numbers, as a result, believe that President Obama, a Christian, is a Muslim.
"If he is a Muslim, he is the worst Muslim of all time," said Ali, evoking laughter from the audience of 160 people. "He drinks alcohol openly and he eats pork."
When Ali was a student at UC Berkeley in 2002, he felt a need to start a "DeCal class" -- or student-run course -- on Islam because he couldn't find anything comprehensive offered in the curriculum.
The panelists agreed, however, that American society is becoming increasingly accepting of diversity.
In the U.S. "we collide. It's messy but it still works," said Gerston, pointing out that a Jew (Gerston), Muslim (Ali) and Christian (Honda) had come together for a panel at the Jewish Community Center.
Reactionary politics has also gotten a bad rap in America, said Ali. It is still practiced, but looked down upon in retrospect by most.
"When we engage in knee-jerk politics, we feel a sense of shame as with McCarthyism," said Ali.
Mentalities shift through individuals speaking out against them, the panelists said. For example, Honda -- who goes to a church regularly -- said he has spoken against his pastor, who believes that homosexuality is wrong.
Those who are "different" are not so different after all, said Ali, pointing out that many Americans do not know the beloved poet Rumi was a devout Muslim, but that most associate bin Laden with the religion.
"Religions don't speak," said Ali. "Its adherents do."

Used by Law Officers in movies for years... The classic all American style of the Aviator Sunglasses by Ray-Ban never seem to fade away. These were originally designed for U.S. Aviators back in 1937, and yet even after all those years they remain the freshest pair of sun cheaters you'll find.

Q:Hi, I'm interested in the Large RB 3025 (smoke rose) but your site isn't clear about the size of the lens. I've done some research and I know this type of lens comes in three sizes: 55mm, 58mm, 62mm. How can I know which size you have? Or how can I choose my size? Please let me know.
1 answer
A:These glasses, the RB 3025, all have the same lens size of 58mm. The small aviator glasses, RB 3044, all have the 55mm lens. The larges is called the Metall II, RB 3056 and that is the 62mm pair. Most people wear these large aviators, but if you have a small or narrow face, you may want to go with the small aviators.

From sea otters to harbor seals you will find it all at Marine Mammal Mania at the Seattle Aquarium.
"It's three weekends of marine mammal fun. We'll be meeting all sorts of field biologists and you can even go on our website and guess the weights of all of our marine mammals," said Traci Belting, curator of birds and mammals for the Seattle Aquarium.
One of the animals that will be featured is a northern fur seal, these seals have 300,000 hairs per square inch to keep them warm in the water.
"This type of seal can be hundreds of miles from land and stay at sea for almost a year at a time," said Belting. There are only 10 northern fur seals in zoos and aquariums across the United States.
Marine Mammal Mania goes Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from April 6 through April 22.

One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media.
One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media. Those words were on the tongues of almost every speaker, from the pre-conference workshops on Tuesday (Ravelry.com, a social site for knitters, drives 6% of traffic to Yarn.com, Steve Elkins, president of Yarn.com's parent WEBS, told Tuesday's Beginning Search Marketing Workshop) to Friday, when the conference concluded with a whole day devoted to understanding social initiatives ("Mingle around online social media to find out where your market is," Michael Jansma, president of online retailer GEMaffair.com, advised attendees).
Anyone attending any of the many sessions that dealt with social media went home with lots of ideas—and with the idea that there is no silver bullet. Each retailer has to harness social media to its own particular circumstances.
A couple of great examples came out of the Facebook session during the post-conference Social Media and E-Retailing workshop. David Pohl, head of e-commerce for Equator Estate Coffees & Teas, focused on small-bore initiatives. He reported that when the company gets small lots of coffee in stock, it sells them on Facebook. Why? It's too much trouble to put small quantities on the web site. And those offerings have the advantage of tying fans closer to the brand. "Treat your fans special," Pohl advised.
Pohl's co-presenter David Saville of Hallmark Cards reported that Hallmark is planning to spread its presence across Facebook. Rather than offering only a few things on Facebook, Hallmark is getting ready to build Facebook stores for the many different brands, such as Disney, that Hallmark licenses for cards. That could result in Hallmark's operating dozens of Facebook presences.
Whatever the approach, social media is early enough in its life and fluid enough to allow online retailers latitude in experimentation. The real challenge is to find the return on such investments. Notwithstanding ForeSee Results' new service (announced at IRCE) to track how consumers use social media and whether it prompts them to buy, many speakers urged e-retailers not to be concerned about return, arguing that social media is still a relatively small investment. "Don't try to calculate ROI on social media programs, just do them," Ken Cassar, vice president of industry insights at Nielsen Online, told Friday's Social Media workshop.
Said GEMaffair's Janmsa: "It's a challenge for us right now to monetize Facebook."
Profitable or not, the consensus among speakers is that successful retailers will be where consumers are—and that's on social sites these days. In fact, Jansma cited research showing that social sites are now the No. 1 use of the Internet—displacing porn for the first time since the rise of the Internet. Having a social presence, said Nielsen's Cassar, "is a minimum customer expectation."

Virginia Western Community College has set forth in its mission statement its dedication to "the belief that all people should have equal opportunities to develop and expand their skills and knowledge." The college seeks to achieve its mission through the quality educational opportunities presented to its students and the community it serves and through the professional development opportunities made available to its employees - both faculty and staff. In so doing, the college acknowledges that its success as an educational institution is dependent upon the contributions of each employee.
The VCCS Professional Development Initiative has defined professional development as a systematic process of renewal, which ultimately creates an environment for learning and growth for students, for educators, for staff and colleges. Professional development is a philosophical approach, not an event.
Professional development activities include opportunities for acquiring and maintaining professional competence, improving instructional skills, pursuing educational goals, achieving personal development and career growth, and responding to changing needs of the college.
The responsibility for professional development is a partnership between the VCCS, the college, and the individual. The VCCS and the college have a responsibility to provide planning, direction, assistance, and resources for professional development. However, each employee is ultimately responsible for his/her own individual growth and development by establishing a plan for that development in collaboration with his or her supervisor and actively seeking out and taking advantage of activities and programs offered by the VCCS and the college.
The goals of the professional development plan are as follows:
Unless otherwise stated, professional development opportunities will be made available to all employee groups of the college, including nine-month teaching faculty, professional faculty, twelve-month administrative faculty, adjunct faculty, classified employees, grant-funded employees, and wage employees. The eligibility to participate and the scope of activities offered to each group will be dependent upon the requirements and restrictions of the activity, the college's need for specific skills, and the amount and type of funding available.
Funding for professional development activities is accomplished through a combination of state, local, and, where appropriate, federal funds. Funds are also available for certain activities through the VWCC Educational Foundation, VWCC Mini-Grants, and external grants. The President's Cabinet formulates the basis for the funding plan by its annual involvement in the budgetary process and thereby serves as a means of promoting professional development at the college. All attempts will be made by the president and the President's Cabinet to provide adequate funding within the limitations of budgetary constraints.
Needs assessment will occur on the individual, division/department, and institutional levels.
Faculty and staff will identify individual development needs as part of their annual performance evaluation with their dean/supervisor. Staff are not required to develop a formal written plan separate from the Employee Development Plan contained in the Employee Work Profile, which is developed in consultation with the supervisor.
Each division/department is responsible for identifying the development and training needs of its personnel necessary for the achievement of its goals. The identification process should be a collaborative effort between the deans/supervisors and their respective faculty/staff.
A college-wide needs assessment survey will be performed on a biennial basis. The President's Cabinet will review the results of the needs assessment, and appropriate training and development activities will be approved and implemented. In addition, the President's Cabinet will initiate development activities that it believes are necessary to support the mission of the college.
The college, the VCCS, the VCCA, and other professional organizations offer numerous professional and personal development opportunities, both credit and non-credit, designed to meet the needs of the faculty and staff. Participation in certain professional development opportunities is based upon business necessity and may be restricted to eligible employees.
The college allots a certain amount of its budget to provide for faculty and staff to attend conferences conducted by professional organizations or vendors. These activities provide faculty and staff the opportunity to remain current in their fields and to bring back new ideas and techniques to share with co-workers. Employees interested in attending these conferences should complete a request for professional development. The Professional Development Application will be made available to all staff during the application timeframe.
Faculty and classified staff members may apply for Faculty and Staff Innovation Grants to participate in off-campus training or educational opportunities; purchase classroom supplies, educational equipment, books, or software; pursue other activities to further the employee's education; or develop innovative courses, programs, and curricula. Application for the grants is made through the Educational Foundation Office and may be found at http://www.virginiawestern.edu/grants/grantsdev.php.
Special programs and opportunities offered to faculty and classified staff through this initiative includes: peer group meetings, Research and Professional Development Grants, the Minority Faculty Recruitment Project, teleconferences, and the VCCS Leadership Program. Complete descriptions of these programs are available in the Office of Grants Development and Special Projects or at http://old.vccs.edu/FacultyStaff/ProfessionalDevelopment/tabid/120/Default.aspx.
All external grant proposals are reviewed and coordinated by the Office of Grants Development and Special Projects. These include proposals submitted to the following entities: federal, state, and local governments; organizations; and foundations. The Virginia Western Community College Grant Proposal Policy and Procedures outlines the procedures and authorizations necessary for developing and submitting grant proposals. Interested faculty and staff can locate additional information about grants and grant opportunities at the following address: http://www.virginiawestern.edu/grants/
Limited funding is available for faculty through mini-grants to support the use of technology in order to improve instructional opportunities and quality. Applicants may be full-time or adjunct faculty members. Grant recipients may use their award to develop a new course, a new delivery format (such as distance learning), or an improved classroom-based course with expanded use of instructional technology. Funds are provided to compensate faculty for their time and effort but not for instructional equipment, software, or other resources. The college will provide technical support, including training and assistance with instructional technology, software, curriculum development, and assessment. Proposals are to be submitted to the appropriate academic dean and the Coordinator of Distance Learning and Instructional Technology.
The conference is sponsored each spring by the VCCS with Perkins and professional development funding. It is designed to enhance instruction and services by investigating emerging technologies. Both faculty and classified staff may attend.
The following programs are offered by the VCCA: VCCA Conference, VCCA Professional Growth and Development Grants, VCCA Leadership Seminars, and scholarships to the Virginia Master Teachers Seminar. For more information about these programs, contact the college's VCCA representative.
The purpose of educational assistance is to encourage the education of full-time faculty rank and full-time classified employees with college financial support. Educational assistance is defined as financial assistance for courses taken at other institutions of higher education that do not meet the definition of continuous learning courses. Included in a budget and managed in a fiscal year basis, financial assistance for full-time faculty and full- time classified staff is provided for in the Educational Aid Policy established by the State Board for Community Colleges and the VWCC Supplemental Educational Assistance Policy adopted by the President's Cabinet. The professional development funds are used for credit hour courses taken at colleges other than VWCC. The amount of financial assistance provided is determined by a number of factors; however, this amount shall not exceed the per credit hour rate at Virginia Tech, unless specified otherwise by VWCC administration.
Guidelines for Professional Development Requests:
Guidelines for Professional Development Course Reimbursement:
Continuous Learning Courses are available to full-time faculty rank, actively teaching adjunct faculty, full-time classified employees, and hourly/wage employees (except student workers, non-student workers, tutors, and Federal work study students). Continuous learning courses are defined as credit hour courses offered at Virginia Western Community College. Eligible employees may request up to six (6) credit hours per semester at no cost for the tuition and mandatory fees. Employees must complete and sign, in front of a notary, a VWCC Promissory Note and are required to make a grade of C, B, or A to avoid repayment to the college.
Sabbatical leave for professional development may be made available to teaching faculty, administrative and professional faculty, and the college president. The objective of such leave is to provide renewed capacity for significant contribution of service to the college and the community at large. Interested faculty members should refer to the VCCS Sabbatical Leave Policy (DOC).
Established in 1989, the Chancellor's Commonwealth Professors program rewards teaching excellence through statewide recognition and financial support. Each college in the VCCS is invited to nominate one or more full-time teaching faculty members with at least five years of service whose instruction sets a standard of excellence. Nominations must originate from peers in the teaching faculty. Up to four Commonwealth Professors may be chosen in a single year. Faculty members interested in nominating one of their peers should contact the Office of Grants Development and Special Projects.
The Chancellor's Fellowship offers an opportunity for two full-time classified staff employees each year to receive up to a one-year leave of absence to pursue academic goals at a Virginia state-supported institution of higher education. The program provides financial support for tuition and mandatory fees, as well as three-fourths of the employee's salary, and carries a commitment for the employee to return to the VCCS for a minimum time period of twice that of the leave of absence. Employees should contact the Human Resources Office for additional information.
The purpose of this fellowship is to support the educational aspirations of full-time faculty and to assist in the preparation of future higher education administrators and instructional leaders within the VCCS. Information for interested faculty members can be found on the VCCS Professional Development website.
The purpose of the fellowship is to enable full-time classified employees at VWCC opportunities to work toward baccalaureate or graduate degrees that will enable them to enhance their contributions to the college. The fellowship provides for a leave of absence up to one semester, financial aid for in-state tuition and mandatory fees, and one-half salary for the semester of leave. For additional information, contact the Human Resources Office.
The VWCC Knowledge Center is an extensive learning management system that enables employees and supervisors to participate in and manage professional development and learning activities. The VWCC Knowledge Center is a web-based application that includes course registration functionality and delivers a wide variety of self-study, customized training to the employees' desktop. Employees are able to track training completed within the Knowledge Center and add external learning events, such as conferences, workshops, classes, and other professional development opportunities attended, to a training record.
All full-time employees and their eligible dependents, adjuncts, retirees, and hourly/wage employees (except student workers, non-student workers, tutors, and Federal work study students) can participate in this state-sponsored wellness program. CommonHealth assists individuals in identifying their health risks and in making positive lifestyle changes to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Employees needing assistance in identifying career goals and formulating educational plans may receive assistance through the Counseling Department. Career assessment tests are available.
Cross-training occurs when an employee is trained in different tasks or skills. Cross-training is beneficial to employees as it enables them to learn new skills, contribute to the organization in new and different ways, as well as maintain or increase interest and engagement in their work. Cross training of classified staff may be initiated by the college to meet an identified need or at the request of the employee. On-the-job training may be provided or employees may be asked to complete external training.
DHRM provides open-enrollment courses and specifically tailored in-house programs for state employees and agencies. A listing of current course offerings can be found on the DHRM Web site at http://www.dhrm.virginia.gov/training.html
The Learning Technology Center is the resource center for supplementary instructional assistance for students, but faculty and staff may also use its facilities and resources. Tutorial assistance, computer-assisted learning, video-assisted learning and other audiovisual presentations are available in a variety of subject disciplines. Tutoring is provided for most subject areas taught by the college. The Writing Center offers assistance in composing effective written documents. A microcomputer lab and a variety of microcomputer software are available for use. Audiovisual facilities may be utilized to view videotapes.
All faculty and staff are encouraged to use the library's resources to further their professional development activities. Because VWCC is a two-year college, most of the books and other materials contained in the library are at an introductory or undergraduate level. However, the library does have a very active interlibrary loan program, which can be used to acquire graduate level materials and/or other items not contained in its collection. The library staff encourages all faculty to become familiar with the VIVA web site, which is available through all of the library's public computers as well as through any other campus computer that has Internet access. VIVA, which stands for Virtual Library of Virginia, is a cooperative effort by Virginia colleges and universities to provide an array of full-text and abstracting services for periodical literature. The cost of these services would prohibit their purchase by smaller libraries. VIVA also contains links to the online catalogs of most Virginia libraries, which should be useful to those engaged in professional development activities.
The Human Resources Office provides an orientation to the college for all new hourly/wage employees, full-time faculty and full-time classified staff covering state, college and VCCS policy, required payroll deductions, benefits, and other areas. Part-time wage, full-time faculty and full-time classified staff also receive an orientation to their division/department by their dean/supervisor, covering the work environment, work schedule, work policies, and work responsibilities. Adjunct faculty orientation is conducted online in conjunction with the respective school.
All full time employees and their eligible dependents, adjuncts, retirees, and hourly/wage employees (except student workers, non-student workers, tutors, and Federal work study students) can participate in a variety of seminars that promote mental and physical health as well as increasing an employee's knowledge on a variety of topics including but not limited to water color techniques, beading, culinary arts, Tia Chi and parenting.
Evaluation of the VWCC Professional Development Plan will occur on the individual, division/department, program, and institutional levels.
For faculty, evaluation of the past year's professional development activities will occur at the time of their annual performance review with their dean. For classified staff, the evaluation of Employee Development Plan contained in the Employee Work Profile occurs during the annual performance review.
Deans/supervisors, in collaboration with their faculty/staff, will review and evaluate the professional activities initiated to facilitate the achievement of their division/department goals.
Training and development programs offered by the Human Resources Office or other divisions/departments will be evaluated by the participants through the completion of evaluation forms, informal discussions, and interviews. Where appropriate, supervisors of participants will be asked to evaluate the success of the training in developing new skills and/or changing behaviors.
The President's Cabinet will monitor the outcomes of college-wide development activities to determine the success of the Professional Development Plan in meeting the needs of the college and furthering its mission. Unproductive activities will be discontinued, and new programs will be added as deemed necessary. In addition to this ongoing evaluation process, the President's Cabinet will review the Professional Development Plan in its entirety on a periodic basis. This periodic review will ensure that the goals of the plan accurately reflect the priorities of the college and that the plan continues to provide appropriate programs and resources to meet the professional development needs of the faculty and staff.
The approved Professional Development Plan will be made available to employees in the following offices:
All members of the Virginia Western faculty and classified staff are eligible to submit proposals for funding to support professional development activities. These activities may include participation in conferences, seminars, or workshops. Faculty and staff may also petition for educational assistance; and teaching, professional, and administrative faculty may request sabbatical leave. Prior to the end of each fiscal year, all faculty and staff should identify their professional development needs as part of a plan that will encompass their activities for the upcoming academic/fiscal year. Each employee will complete a Professional Development Application Request which will be received and reviewed by the ad hoc Professional Development Committee.
All employees should submit their applications to their supervisors by March 15.
Representatives from various units of the college will review all requests for professional development support and recommend to the vice president of academic and student affairs those proposals that merit funding. Reviewers of professional development applications will consider the following factors in evaluating proposals:
Each application for professional development funding must include the following:
All employees should submit their applications to their supervisors by March 15.
The Professional Development Request Application will be made available to staff during the application timeframe. If you need additional information, contact the Professional Development Committee, or the Office of the Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

MADISON, W.Va. (AP) — A Boone County man accused of killing his wife and mother-in-law has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Media outlets report that 37-year-old Timothy Ray Parsons entered his plea Tuesday in Boone County Circuit Court. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped sexual assault and kidnapping charges.
Sentencing is set for May 1. Boone County prosecutor Keith Randolph says he will request life in prison without mercy.
The bodies of Parsons' wife, 35-year-old Leigh Ann Kinder-Parsons, and her mother, 62-year-old Gloria Sue Kinder of Lexington, Ky., were found in May 2012 at the couple's home in Bloomingrose. Both victims' throats were slashed.
Police say Parsons also tied up a teenage girl and raped her.

Tea Party crowd cheers hypothetical death of 30-year-old man in a coma without insuranceBlitzer >> You're a physician, Ron Paul, you're a doctor. You know something about this subject. Let me ask you this hypothetical question. A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides I'm not going to spend 200 or $300 a month because I'm healthy, i don't need it. But something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Who will pay if he goes into a coma, who pays for that?
Paul >> In a society that you accept welfarism and socialism, he expects the government to take care of him.
Blitzer >> What do you want?
Paul >> What he should do is whatever he wants to do and assume responsibility for himself. My advice to him would have a major al policy.
Blitzer >> He doesn't have that and he needs intensive care for six months. Who pays?
Paul >> That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody --
Audience >> [applause]
Blitzer >> but congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?
Audience >> [shouts of "yeah!"]
Agreed. The whole crowd did not cheer only a few. And how does anyone know those cheers came from tea party people? They may have been Democrats. The hypothetical 30 year old made his own choice.Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Wolf Blitzer is a supreme douche bag. He's been a coma for years. The Iraqis should have bombed his ass in 91.
Wolf is indeed a bit tiresome.

Quemadmoeum gladis nemeinum occidit, occidentus telum est!
You can be the weapon, and the gun in your hand is a tool - or the gun is a weapon and you are the tool.

but every girl I found was either one way or the other...
Pretty simple. He pays for it out of his own pocket. I was in the same boat when I was 19. Almost died. I spent several years paying off those hospital and doctor bills. No one helped me. I didn't ask for it. A family member tried to get MediCal to help but they said since I made too much (just above the poverty line) and wasn't a minority I was ineligible for any assistance.
Bottom line is the person is responsible for his own means. If that means years in debt so be it.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

Much on the line for area girls teams
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 1:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 1:44 p.m.
The regular basketball season ends in exciting and important fashion for the Petaluma and Casa Grande high school girls basketball teams Thursday night.
Petaluma's T-Girls have already clinched a share of the Sonoma County League championship going into their home court game against Sonoma Valley. What is at stake for the Petalumans is a perfect SCL season and total possession of the league title.
Petaluma goes into the game with a 21-4 record and are an 11-0 mark against league opponents. Sonoma Valley has a less glittering 13-10 overall mark, but has only one league loss (with a game pending against Analy) going into its visit to Petaluma.
Sonoma Valley's only SCL loss was 56-42 to the T-Girls in a contest played in Sonoma.
A concern for Petaluma going into Thursday's game is Sonoma senior point guard Kendall Ashe, who hit four 3-pointers and scored 18 points in the first meeting between the two longtime rivals.
Sonoma, for its part, will have to find a way to defense Petaluma's 6-foot, 2-inch post player Allison Scranton. The sophomore scored 18 in Petaluma's win at Sonoma and has been a dominant player ever since.
Meanwhile, Casa Grande's Lady Gauchos conclude their first North Bay League season at home Thursday night against Montgomery.
Going into a Tuesday night game at Santa Rosa, Casa Grande stood at 14-10 overall and 8-4 in league play.
Heading into a Tuesday home game against Maria Carrillo, the Lady Vikings were 10-2 in league and 19-5 overall.
Montgomery handed the Lady Gauchos their worst loss of the season in an earlier game at Montgomery, dominating Casa, 52-24.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- The Colby College women's hockey team put relentless pressure on during the final two minutes of play, but Williams College held on for a 2-1 win in NESCAC action Saturday at Alfond Rink.
The Ephs scored two goals in the opening 2:26 of the second period and then made the goals stand up.
Sam Weinstein had the first goal and added an assist on the second score for the Ephs (7-8-0 overall, 4-4-0 NESCAC).
Annie Papadellis scored the lone goal for Colby (6-10, 2-8) in the third period.
Chloe Billadeau had 29 saves for the Ephs and helped hold off a relentless Colby attack in the final two minutes of play. Colby goaltender Brianne Wheeler stopped 25 shots after making 40 saves in Colby's 4-1 win over Williams on Friday night.
After a scoreless first period, Williams came out with major pressure in the opening three minutes of play. Weinstein's low shot from the right point got past a screened Wheeler just 1:31 into the second period. Andree Heller and Natalie Bernstein had assists on the play.
Gabrielle Vukasin's shot deflected and went over a sprawling Wheeler, who reached back while on the ice and could not stop the puck from trickling over the line. Weinstein picked up her seventh assist of the season and Gwendolyn Schultz her sixth on Vukasin's eighth goal of the year at 2:26.
Colby bounced back in the third period when Papadellis unleashed a long shot from past the right circle for her sixth goal of the season. Natalie Fischer had the assist on the goal with 7:38 to play.
Williams' defense stiffened in front of Billadeau in the final moments of the game, as Colby held the puck in the offensive zone for much of the final two minutes.

DALLAS (AP) -- Fred Meyer, a former chairman of the Dallas and state Republican Party has died.
The Republican Party of Texas says Meyer died Monday. He was 84.
Meyer served as state party chairman for six years, from 1988 to 1994. He also served as chairman of the Republican Party in Dallas County.
Current chairman Steve Munisteri says in a statement that Meyer had "an excellent reputation for building up the party's infrastructure and taking care of the nuts and bolts of the political operations."
The Dallas Morning News reports that Meyer was a prolific fundraiser who continued to make calls shortly before his death from his hospital room for a nonprofit group.
