CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A lot has changed at Saint Francis Hospital since it opened in a remodeled house on Laidley Street a century ago.
The Catholic hospital, then with about 30 beds, is now a 155-bed hospital with a one-day surgery center, pain relief center and the area's only hyperbaric oxygen treatment facility, just to name a few of its features.
But despite the changes, longtime staff members say the hospital's culture and mission have stayed the same since the sisters of St. Francis from New York started the hospital in 1913.
"The one thing that I've always been impressed with [at] this place is the focus it's had on the patients," said Dan Lauffer, chief operating officer at Thomas Health System, Saint Francis' parent company. "That's a culture that was actually begun and started by the sisters. I think that's something that was here when I got here in 1996 and remains today."
The hospital celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
West Virginia's Roman Catholic bishop, Father Patrick Donahue, founded the hospital in 1913 at an estate at 333 Laidley St., where it remains today.
The sisters arrived from New York to manage the hospital Dec. 13, 1913, and the hospital opened Jan. 15, 1914.
In 1921, the sisters of St. Francis were recalled to Williamson and replaced with five nuns from the sisters of St. Joseph of Wheeling, who owned it until 1995.
Changing hands
That year, the sisters sold Saint Francis to hospital chain Columbia-HCA. In 2006, Columbia-HCA sold the hospital to LifePoint Hospitals Inc. as part of a larger deal involving four hospitals in two states. A few months later in early 2007, Lifepoint sold it to Thomas Health System, which also owns Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston. Thomas Health System continues to own it today.
Ownership may change, Lauffer said, but the way the hospital treats its patients hasn't.
"People in board rooms elsewhere can make decisions about selling us or buying us," Lauffer said. "The one thing that the employees can do every day that matters, that they have control over, is how we treat our patients."
The culture of the hospital has stayed the same, said sister Virginia "Ginny" Yeager, the director of pastoral care.
"That sense of care, wanting to offer health care in a manner that reflects Jesus Christ's mission and the way he was with people, those things have never changed," Yeager said.
Lauffer recalled a favorite story about the hospital staff helping to go the extra mile for a patient.
An emergency room doctor took his shoes off and gave them to a patient who needed them more than he did, Lauffer said.
It was a snowy night and the patient, a homeless man wearing a pair of too-small shoes he had been given, showed up in the emergency room with foot pain and a myriad of other problems.
When the patient left, the doctor realized he had forgotten to consider that the man's shoe size could have been causing him problems.
The doctor walked outside to find him and found out he typically wore the same size shoes the doctor was wearing, but was using a smaller pair. The doctor gave the man his own shoes and walked back into the ER shoeless.
"Our nurses were saying what happened and he said, 'I gave my shoes to the guy we just discharged because I forgot to ask him what size shoes he wore and I figured he needed them more than I did,'" Lauffer said. "That was an email I got the very next day. Our nurses were just absolutely blown away by his generosity. That's kind of been the mission here for a long, long time."
As a Catholic hospital, the facility attracts staff members who see health care not only as a job, but as a way to fulfill a call to care for the sick.
That's the way Maria Rendinell, an associate administrator for the hospital, has viewed her job since she started at Saint Francis in 1984.
"I truly believe that health care is a ministry," said Rendinell, who is Catholic. "I feel that in any capacity that you work in health care, you're ministering to the sick.
"You can be paid for that but there's no better paycheck than the gratitude and when you go home at the end of the day you know that you've done something good for people," she said.
Rendinell came to Charleston from Youngstown, Ohio, and worked as a licensed practical nurse throughout the city before going to nursing school, she said.
Something was different about Saint Francis, she said.
"It was just a feeling that I felt like I was at home," Rendinell said. "I knew after I went to nursing school and came back as a [registered nurse] that I wanted to work here."
When Rendinell's husband developed lung cancer at an early age, he was diagnosed and treated at Saint Francis. He ultimately died there, too. He didn't want to die in their home, she said.
"For me, he kind of did die in my home because this is my home too," Rendinell said. "That's not necessarily a happy memory but it's a memory that keeps this as part of my family."
Mary Williams, director of volunteer services, has worked at Saint Francis for 32 years.
Williams' mother, who was a Saint Francis volunteer, encouraged her to work for the hospital. Now Williams has come to love the hospital, just as her mother did.
To her, the volunteers and the staff are like family.
"We're small enough in numbers that we get to know each other but they're still big enough to provide the care for our patients," Williams said.

Just a few years ago, promoter Kathy Paradowski was involved with her husband in bringing a canal series to the banks of the Erie Canal, which drew tens of thousands each summer to the economically deprived North Tonawanda.
But in a disagreement with a past administration, the series fled to Lockport, where it still remains.
Now, in a coming-full-circle scenario, Paradowski is once again attempting to break into the concert business in the Lumber City, though this time it will be a one-time, feeling-out process held at Gratwick-Riverside Park — a larger space she views as having more potential than Gateway Harbor Park, where the previous series was held.
"We sort of wanted to get our feet wet and get a feel for Gratwick before we do too many concerts," she said.
On Sunday, when Cornerstone's Niagara River Rocks show comes to the Gratwick, a monolithic spread of green space, it will serve as a testing ground of sorts for what could feasibly become a fixture, with bands Buckcherry and Fuel headlining the free evening.
And in a city that, like much of Western New York, is trying to redefine its image from a worn-out industrial town to one prefaced by its proximity to water, the show, while just a peg in a slowly evolving tower of effort, stands as a building block, with officials and private investors piecing the municipality back together.
"Of course, just like a lot of council members, I believe North Tonawanda has tons of untapped potential," said council President Rich Andres. "This is one more thing that could bring people to the area."
Andres said that finding reasons to beckon crowds to the city is the council's current tactic with the point of it centered on getting them to recognize that the area is changing. When Paradowski's Molson Concert Series ran near the canal, between 5,000 and 15,000 people would attend each concert event several times during the summer, many of whom were not from the Twin Cities.
"I hope this will do the same thing," Andres said. "It makes people want to come here and will maybe entice people to want to live here. If nothing else, many of them will make their way to downtown and spend their money."
He also added the effects of the Molson series has already born fruit, with outside developers increasingly showing interest.
"Maybe Sunday won't be a resounding success, it's only the first year," he said. "But if don't try you'll never know what could happen. We can't sit there and wait for the perfect scenario."
The free concert may be another step in that direction, Paradowski said. While she is unsure where it will lead, she likes the venue's space as well as the idea of a more regular series next year.
"We're always looking to expand," she said, "And Gratwick is the perfect backdrop. It can house vendors and parking and its self-contained. I think it has the opportunity to become a great venue for concerts."
The show will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free. Parking at the park is $5. For more information go to www.niagarariverrocks.com.

I was just reading an interesting interview with Marjane Satrapi about the movie version of Persepolis: http://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/01/the-culturepulp.html [1] She talked about how one of her motivations for creating both the graphic novel and film versions of Persepolis was to personalize the people of Iran- to let the world know that they are real, individual people and not all America-hating fanatics. Satrapi said, "The second I have a friend in one country, that country cannot be my enemy any more." If you would like to follow up on what she says, come to our event this Sunday (the 22nd, 1 p.m.) at the State Theatre http://www.thestatetheatre.org/Events/fullevent.php?id=424 [2] and meet some Penn State students from Iran. I'm sure that they too will have interesting, personal things to say about their country and people.

If, as the New Yuk Times tells us, a "nationwide shortage of several widely used anesthetics . . . has been exasperating doctors and veterinarians for months," then it certainly says nothing flattering about the American psycho psyche that the shortage didn't make the front page until it fucking got in the way of fucking killing people. Oh, good, okay, so now it's serious.
I mean, for a nation that goes around the world killing thousands upon thousands of people with robots and high-altitute aerial bombardment and white phosphorous incendiaries and depleted uranium munitions, our persistence in applying capital punishment to our own criminals (and not-criminals) is a very minor barbarism, and yet its clinicalization has got to be counted as a one of the weirder and creepier (and more revealing) aspects of our civilization. Yah, m'kay, we're gonna kill you, but we don't want it to hurt ya. That would be cruel. Talk about soothing moral platitudes. You're going to enact the ultimate cruelty, the most singularly irrevocable act of violence, and you're concerned that it's going to sting?

Actually, interfering with justice is serious. As the article explains, the alternative is not using a medicine that stings; it is delaying the execution. Justice delayed is... what? Not exactly justice denied, but not justice, either.
By comparison, causing anesthesiologists to have to go with some less-desired anesthesia isn't that serious. I mean, the risk here is that they "leave patients groggier and with a higher risk of nausea and headaches". Not exactly front page of the NYT material, that.
You are of course right that nicely killing people makes no sense. And it is weird and creepy if you conceive of it as an individual's position. It is not: it's the mishmash result of innumerable meetings of committees, large and small. That's "democracy" for you.
I say hang 'em high, in public, and record it in hi def for youtube. If we are to use capital punishment, we ought to squeeze every bit of deterrent goodness out of it. Just "putting to sleep" scum like Letalvis Cobbins is much better than they deserve. - 2:07 PM

We have an Eighth Amendment bar on "cruel and unusual punishment," which has squeamishly been defined as "if it hurts too much." Note that we can torture away at will at Bagram, GTMO, etc., because, of course, THAT'S NOT PUNISHMENT, it's only "interrogation" and "intelligence gathering" and that sort of thing (and "the President has vast war powers that courts will not lightly interfere or intervene in"... etc.... etc....)
The significance of this drug thing is that as a local political issue, we loves our death penalty, so that if we can't implement it (and if this is the one drug that prevents the damned thing from hurting)... some local politicians have some 'splaining to do.
The thing that always gets ME about these executions is that the technician administering them ALWAYS WIPES THE CONDEMNED INMATE'S ARM DOWN WITH AN ALCOHOL SWAB. Always. Is the premise that the poor bastard might get an infection in the course of administering lethal poisons that are going to result in his (not cruel and unusual) death? THAT'S the part I find hilarious.
It's well documented that the least cruel method of human execution ever devised (aside from "not doing it") is none other than our friend the guillotine; of course, its French, and its all "icky" what with the head coming off and all... best we go with the quite literally antiseptic means of ersatz medical means we have now, I guess. An amazing society we are: not afraid to commit extraordinary acts of violence against those guilty of the heinous act of not being able to afford a good lawyer... but absolutely horrified of the thought of having to do it in an... icky way. - 5:58 PM

Instead of trying to bomb the cultivators of the poppies from which Opium is produced, why don't we just buy it all up and then either destroy it or use it for many of the medical conditions this drug apparently can help cure."
I seem to remember reading about the Canadian NDP proposing the same thing. - 1:26 AM

We have to compare executions as they are performed in the US to human sacrifices and not common judicial punishments . In the late iron age, before the Beowulf poem was written down, a criminal or enemy in war could expect to be chopped down without mercy, or hanged, burned alive, etc., Human Sacrifice in pre Christian times was a different matter. The Sacrificial victim was treated with great reverence, like a modern celebrity, there was a great deal of hand wringing and speechifying, and ritual observance. The victim was dying to pacify a terrible primal force, so that the community as a whole would be let off the hook for another few seasons, or years.

Deckers Outdoor's (DECK) stock is trading around $36.81, close to its 52-week low of $34.60, down 63% in the last one year. The stock trades with a P/E multiple of 9 times versus its forward P/E multiple of 8 times. One of its close competitors Nike (NKE) is trading with a P/E multiple of 19 times and a forward multiple of 16.5 times. VF Corporation (VFC) trades with a P/E of 17 times and a forward P/E of 16 times. Just on a valuation basis, Deckers looks attractive relative to its peers.
As of June 30th, 2012, the major institutional holders of the stock are Luxor Capital Group (8%), T. Rowe Price (6%), Wellington Management (6%), Goldman Sachs (6%), and Tiger Global Management (5%).
The company is expected to report earnings after market close on Thursday, October 25th, 2012.
Looking at the balance sheet, the company has $115 million in cash & cash equivalents, and no public debt. Also, the company has a $200 million secured credit revolver, which matures in 2016. At June 30, 2012, the company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and outstanding letters of credit of $189. As a result, $199,811 was available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2012. A strong liquidity position has allowed the company to survive through a sluggish economy.
An option for the company would be to issue additional debt to reduce the cost of capital on the balance sheet. The timing and the structure of the debt will be important.
During Q2 2012, the company completed its $100 million stock repurchase program and authorized a new $200 million program. A good use of capital has given the stock downside protection.
The company has two profitable and established footwear brands in UGG and Teva, which have expanded in various geographies.
The company consists of a proactive management team, which has managed a strong balance sheet and strong brands.
Conclusion: Given the valuation of the company's stock, the performance in the last one year, and a strong balance sheet, Deckers Outdoor is a stock worth your radar screen. Risks related to investing in the company are higher energy prices that will discourage consumers driving to stores, and an overall weak macro environment, which will impact consumer spending.

Smith Says
Saying Im slightly hard of hearing is like saying Rachael Ray cooks a little. Im definitely deaf-ish.
Thirteen years ago my right ear shut down without warning--in the middle of a death-penalty trial. With one of the suspects on the stand.
I was taking notes in the front row, far left. When the sudden, muffled stillness settled in, I was stupefied. I craned my neck and cocked my head in an effort to understand what the bad guy was saying. He couldve hollered, I did it! Give me the chair! for all I knew.
A deaf crime reporter is not a good thing; the very next day, I made an appointment at the audiologist. Tests showed what I already knew: the world was a lot quieter on the right side.
Why? I asked.
Have you ever played in a rock band, worked a flight line or operated a jackhammer in a quarry? the examiner asked, completely serious.
Oh, yes. All of those, I replied. I also had scarlet fever, mumps and rabies. Her eyes flew wide.
Just kidding, I chuckled. (Im never as funny as I think I am.)
The good doctor looked at her computer print-out, then back at me. Any family history of deafness? she said.
Are you kidding? My grandfather could hear the word whisky whispered two floors up in a locked room.
She cleared her throat. Heres the thing, she said. We dont know why some people lose their hearing. Its called idiopathicno known cause.
And there it was. Some people just go deaf.
With a diagnosis of 35 percent loss in the right ear, I paid $1,800 for a hearing aid the exact shape and size of a cashew. I popped it in, coughed once and never gave it another thought, except when it broke and had to be mailed to Minnesota for repairs (its a funny world when your hearing aid travels more than you do), or when the battery piped a perky little tune before going dead. (Nowadays they just beep, which is irritating.) I became adept at changing batteries one-handed in the dark, while driving or under the table in nice restaurants.
There was an interesting incident when a friends Beagle, Roxy, ate my hearing aid off the nightstand. He filed a homeowners insurance claim, which paid the grand sum of $600. (I hope it amplified Roxys growling guts until she went mad.)
Life was good for about seven years
until the world went quiet on the left. Are you kidding me? I asked the new audiologist whod bought the practice of the old one. Seriously? At 45 Im my own grandma? At least she seemed to think I was funny.
There was no reason for this latest hearing loss, either. It does seem unfair that my older brother spent 25 years at rock concerts and still has ears so keen he wont use an electric toothbrush because its too loud. Not to mention my 84-year-old mother, who wakes up when a leaf lands on the ground outside her nursing home.
So now I wear two audio enhancement devices, but my hearing still isnt 100 percent. Last night, Babygirl was chasing a fox in her slumber. Widdle nudged me and said, Did she just bark?
I would NEVER do that in front of you, I huffed, and punched him in the shoulder.
Hey, nobodys perfect.

Hands-on with the XPS 11
TAIPEI -- We spent a few minutes here at Computex 2013 with the Dell XPS 11, a new convertible notebook with a flip design, not unlike the Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook.
One of the notebook's main features is its 11.6-inch, 2,560x1,440-pixel-resolution display. This gives it an extremely high PPI, much more than the larger XPS 13, which has a 1,920x1,080 screen.

As you know, here at ESL we are modern design enthusiasts, which is usually what we like to talk about. However, today we're going to acknowledge someone who enjoys going back in time to truly understand today's favorite modern elements. JF Chen is a curator of antiques with showroom locations in Los Angeles. Chen is not shy to say, his general collecting parameters include an unrelenting addiction to mid-century modern Danish. His collections are endless and his knowledge of what defines a classic is not to be rivaled.
He greets architects, designers, celebrities and design aficionados daily, helping them find what they're looking for, but making sure to stay out of designing their projects. He explains in an interview " I don't know how to sell, but I sure know how to buy".
Chen has recently published a book, "Collecting Eames" (above) surveying the iconic modern designs of Charles and Ray Eames. Upon debut of the book, he also held an exhibit at his showroom. I am, of course, very sad I did not know about this sooner.
The Eames chair he decided to use on the cover of his book is one of most rare Eames chairs in existence. Recently sold for low six figures, it was a prototype high-back armchair designed by the Eameses and Eero Saarinen in 1940-1941 for the Museum of Modern Art Organic Design Competition.
This business is a family affair, Chen seen here (above) with his wife and two daughters. Like in any industry, the more you love what you do, the better you are at it. However, with Chen the saying might also be the more you love Eames, the more you collect.
It's important to develop your own aesthetic and favorite products, whether they are modern or a combination of different styles. But sometimes it's also fun to know where those designs came from and truly understand their form and function.
To learn about another Eames lover, be sure to check out this video with Ice Cube.

Whether you have kids at home looking for summer projects or you just love DIY's, we found a great idea for you! This driftwood, airplant wall art is modern, easy to make, and very cool.
All you need is a great piece of driftwood, a few airplants, hammer, sawtooth hangers, and nails. Make sure there are at least a couple flat surfaces on your piece of driftwood so it can hang it from the wall.
While you're cleaning your piece of driftwood, soak and clean your airplants then set aside and let them dry.
Find two flat spots (depending how long your driftwood is) and use small nails to secure the sawtooth hangers. Place a couple larger nails in the wall and hang your driftwood. Since it naturally has curves, you don't have to worry about it looking perfectly straight.
Once you hang it, you can carefully place your airplants anywhere you like, making sure to balance them out along the entire piece of driftwood.
The best part about this modern DIY accessory is that it could also be a beautiful memory, depending on where and how you found your driftwood... Like, a romantic stroll on the beach or play day on the beach with the kids!
Watch the tutorial video at Craftzine. And if you don't know where to source air plants, here's a fun Etsy shop.

We talk a lot here about Mid-century Modern, posting a lot of cool images on our Facebook page too. But what does it take to achieve this look? What are the elements, besides super cool architecture? Let's dive in...
To give you the simple definition, Mid-Century Modern is just that...mid-century. It describes the period from 1933 to 1965 and the developments in architectural, interior, product and graphic design that took place during that time. Today, we enjoy pieces from that time, some authentic while others are inspired-by pieces.
1. Arteriors Macay Pendant, 2. Zuo Terracotta Leatherette Sofa, 3. Mesh Dining Chair, 4. Wilco Dining Table, 5. Basque Steel Arc Floor Lamp, 6. Zuo Heywood Bench
Function was important in mid-century designs, with an emphasis placed specifically on targeting the needs of the average American family. Each of these pieces above function perfectly without being bulky and using unnecessary space. They're currently the most widely used pieces when designing a modern home, demonstrating that classics persevere. You can design an entire home using Mid-Century Modern furniture and accessories or you can just sprinkle them in as modern accents.
This living room (above) is furnished in authentic Mid-Century Modern style, right down to the Barcelona chair and wood floors. Architectural materials add character and can go a long way toward creating your design aesthetic.
The relative of the Barcelona chair is the bench (above). This space nails Mid-Century Modern style on the head, while also maintaining a good mix of materials.
Pairing modern items together, but mixing materials (above) is important and helps your home look collected rather than staged. A cute cat helps too.
Designing your home or apartment with your own modern style is fun, but knowing a little about the history of modern design is even more fun!

Many memories are made vacationing at a lake in the summertime, and often times they are too good to ever stop experiencing. Becca and Doug Worpie feel this exact way about the rugged coast of Georgian Bay where they've made a trip to every year of their life. The environment is rough and unpredictable, but "this place is my heaven" says Becca.
So, building a summer home here was their dream, but not as simple as one may expect. When they ventured out and stumbled upon the U-shaped island with a three acre piece of rock in Pointe au Baril, they also found two decrepit cottages and a boat house. They knew there was a lot of work ahead, but they also knew there was something extremely special about it.
This wasn't the type of job you could hand your contractor sketches for, they had to get much more creative than that. So the couple called upon architects Michael Meredith and his partner Hilary Sample of MOS, a young interdisciplinary practice (then) based in Toronto to take on this project. They proposed a series of buildings that formed a "necklace" around the island; the main cottage and a series of smaller cabins that could house all the overnight guests that wanted to invite in the summertime With multiple cabins, modern outdoor path lighting would be great to help navigate from cabin to cabin at nighttime.
When building the final structure they wanted to build not just something on the water, but in the water. So they designed a two story building supported by massive pontoons that was fabricated off site and floated back into place. A modest boathouse now sits inside the cove and has become the family's main summer headquarters. The boat slip and sauna are down below, while upstairs there are two bedrooms, an office, gallery, and of course incredible views.
The bridges branches off from the second story and connects the main house to the other cabins.
Although the exterior of the house is clad in untreated cedar allowing it to weather naturally, the interior is a very modern and clean. The floors and ceiling are treated with Douglas Fir to give you a very warm and cozy feeling in the space. Modern wishbone chairs surround the mid-century dining table. The art is bold and colorful, creating a very playful vibe in the space.
The modern kitchen is neutral in tone, but the clean modern lines really make a statement. You can tell each and every detail was planned out.
The stunning view is picture perfect. You could sit and stare or go outside and play, either one would be quite pleasurable.
Adding modern benches to any space with a view allows you to take it all in at every angle.
Zuo Heywood Single Natural Bench
The fireplace facade is clad with local granite and allows the bold colors of the artwork to just bounce right off of it. The playful edge comes through once again and reminds you that this place is for having fun with family and friends.
The iroko wood modern bathtub is the perfect element for connecting the interior with nature. Custom designed concrete tiles create texture and contrast to the natural wood elements of the space. After a long day of fun in the sun, i couldn't think of a better way to relax than soaking in the tub and thinking back about all the childhood memories and all the new ones created each day.
Whether you're at your own lake house of not, I truly hope you all are enjoying your summer and creating many memories that are sure to last a lifetime.

"Taste you can learn, but style is charisma"- Iris Apfel
Iris Apfel, an interior designer, business woman, and fashion icon is still as charismatic and stylish today and she was in her youth. "I'm a geriatric starlet, my dear, don't you know" explains Iris. At the age of 83, 13 years into retirement, is when she actually became a celebrity. In 2005 the Metroplitan Museum in New York had an exhibition featuring Apfel's style. What was truly amazing about this exhibition was not only the clothes, but the way the she wore each piece. Each outfit was put together like a work of art and with such style.
At the age of 90, believe it or not, she is even more famous today than 7 years ago. She has a ridiculously successful line of makeup at MAC, an accessory line, a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes named after her, and so much more. She's a true style icon. Take a look at how her personal fashion style can be interpreted from an interior design perspective, which is how she got her start. The rooms are as eccentric on the inside as she is on the out!
The layers of gold, brown, and charcoal gray silk taffeta in this Lanvin gown, circa 1985, are as sculptural as the gold chandelier in this room. Adding gold accessories to your space can feel both elegant and eclectic.
This deep jewel tone silk-taffeta Nina Ricci evening dress, designed by Gérard Pipart (circa-1985), belong in this sitting room. The colors of the painting and rug, along with the bold deep hues of the pillows combine to create a bohemian eclectic space as rich in color as the dress. Colorful pillows can bring a lot of energy into any room and is a great way to accessorize!
The hot pink blouse blossoms and flows like the dye on this stylish comforter. The necklace makes a bold and dynamic statement and pretty pairing in color, much like the painting above the bed . The bold black in the art and in the pillows create contrast and a strong grounding element for the colorful decor. Playful, sophisticated, and whimsical define both the room and the outfit.
Tartan plaid and a furry friend, that's why these two go hand in hand! Sophisticated and casual is what makes this outfit and this room so lovely.
And of course Iris Apfel has her own jewelry line as well! We can't help but notice, her sculptural White Bone Necklace resembles the form of our White Flower Ceiling Light! Her jewelry collection is "Natural, eclectic and fun". You can channel a little bit of Apfel's energy by wearing any of the pieces from her collection or designing your space with color and lots of personality!
Cheers to hoping that we all can have a small dose of Iris Apfel in us when we're 90. She is a true style icon in every sense of the term.

What is Outdoor Education?
Outdoor Education is a distinctive approach to learning that utilizes direct experiences, observation, and problem-solving skills in order to move past mere recreation to a truly educational experience. It is founded in the practice of Experiential Education, and combines Adventure Education and Environmental Education. Adventure Education uses adventure activities to assist participants in better understanding their relationships with other people and themselves. Environmental Education is the study of how individuals and other organisms relate with the natural environment. These two disciplines combine in Outdoor Education to present a unique program of study that will provide participants with a better understanding of their relationships with other individuals and the natural world.
How does the Outdoor Education program implement in-class study and field experiences?
Montreat's Outdoor Education program is a balance of in-class study and direct field experience, which promotes intellectual growth, and understanding of the skills and knowledge necessary to enter a variety of related fields of practice. Through discussion-oriented classes and experience in the field, students are able to design, implement, and administer Outdoor Education programs that are safe, challenging, and enjoyable. Our goal is to produce professional outdoor educators who have the knowledge and skills to make useful contributions to the field.
What unique field study opportunities are available through Montreat College?
Rooted in the belief that one of the best ways to study the environment is to be out in it, the Outdoor Education program provides many opportunities to study natural areas intensively by actually going to those areas for extended periods. These field-immersion courses are offered regularly:
What kind of opportunities does an Outdoor Education degree hold in the career world?
Graduates in Outdoor Education from Montreat College go on to a variety of careers, including public and private outdoor/adventure/ environmental education programs; resident and travel camps; mission organizations; national and state parks; church-related youth organizations; expedition programs such as the National Outdoor Leadership School, Wilderness Education Association, and Outward Bound; environmental organizations; nature centers; outdoor science programs; and environmental interpretation centers. Many graduates report that whatever they decide to do, the leadership, interpersonal skills, and discipleship experiences they were involved in through the OE program help them in all aspects of their lives. Students also pursue graduate studies in a variety of areas, including environmental education, forestry, parks and recreation administration, ecotourism, experiential education and a variety of other disciplines.
Is it possible to double major in Environmental Studies and Outdoor Education?
Yes, this one of our more popular double majors. Environmental Studies and Outdoor Education are both field-oriented programs. In addition, they require many of the same courses, which makes it relatively easy to double major. Majoring in both provides a strong science background combined with knowledge of leadership, group dynamics, and outdoor skills, thereby making the graduate better prepared and more marketable. The double major can be completed within four years.
Check out our Environmental Studies program »
What certifications would I have the opportunity to earn through the OE program?
Will the OE department help me find an internship?
Yes, faculty will assist you in finding an internship that will compliment your concentration; however, it is the student's responsibility to arrange final internship placement. Teaching Outdoor Education at Montreat College is an active profession. As a student, you learn new skills, do field work, and discover your gifts and talents. You can expect your Outdoor Education professors to be beside you, guiding you and challenging you to reach your full potential inside the classroom and out.
Will I be able to get into graduate school if I graduate from a small college like Montreat College?
Yes! Montreat College graduates are admitted regularly into graduate schools across the country. Our graduates have had no difficulty being admitted to a wide variety of graduate and professional schools in such fields as environmental education, experiential education, recreation and leisure, adventure-based counseling, forestry, parks and recreation administration, education, and other related disciplines. The faculty works closely with the students through small classes and individualized instruction, and students have many opportunities to distinguish themselves through internships, teaching opportunities, and projects – all of which assist them in distinguishing themselves to potential graduate schools.
Will the college assist me with my career?
The college provides the office of career development for career counseling and career-related skill development. These services include assisting with choosing a major, selecting a graduate school, preparing a resume, and organizing a job search.
Explore our Office of Work and Vocation »
Can I afford to go to Montreat College?
Montreat College seeks to ensure that the opportunity for Christian higher education be given to all who desire it. By keeping expenses at a minimum and by offering a substantial and comprehensive financial aid program, Montreat provides an educational opportunity for many students who otherwise might not be financially able to attend college. No qualified student should hesitate to apply because of lack of financial resources.
Learn more about financial aid »
How long will it take to earn my degree?
The Outdoor Education degree is designed so that you can complete the requirements within four years of study. Montreat College also supports numerous programs by which students may accelerate their academic careers, have a wider range of course choices, and reduce the overall length of time spent in completing degree requirements.
What is the Outdoor Education Immersion Semester / Certificate in Wilderness Leadership program?

January 30, 2003
Statement on Miguel Estrada
MR. FEINGOLD: Mr. Chairman, I will vote against Miguel Estrada today. Let me take a moment to explain why.
First, I want to discuss the background of this nomination, which I think is an important factor in our consideration of it. The D.C. Circuit, to which Mr. Estrada has been nominated, is widely regarded as the most important federal circuit. It has jurisdiction over the actions of most federal agencies. Many of the highest profile cases that have been decided in recent years by the Supreme Court concerning regulation of economic activity by federal agencies in areas such as the environment, health and safety regulation, labor law, went first to the D.C. Circuit. In the area of administrative law and the interpretation of the major regulatory statutes such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and even the Federal Election Campaign Act, the D.C. Circuit is the last word, as the Supreme Court accepts relatively few cases.
The D.C. Circuit is now evenly split, and has been for some time, between nominees of Democratic and Republican Presidents. There are four judges who were appointed by Republicans and four by Democrats, and there are four vacancies. In the last Congress of President Clinton's term, he made two nominations that were never acted upon by this Committee. In one case, the Committee held a hearing but never scheduled a vote, and in another, the Clinton nominee wasn't even given the courtesy of a hearing.
Now we hear that President Bush is not only going to fill those two seats, but also two others that Republicans have argued for years didn't need to be filled at all because of the court's supposedly smaller workload in comparison to other circuits. So this nomination is a pivotal nomination, and this circuit could very quickly become divided 8 to 4 between Republican appointees and Democratic appointees.
I am disappointed that the Bush Administration has not been willing to extend an olive branch on this Circuit in particular. There are enough vacancies to accommodate both of the pending nominees and the two nominations by President Clinton who were treated so badly in the 106th Congress. But that does not seem likely to happen.
It is worth mentioning as well that seats on the D.C. Circuit have also in recent years served as springboards for the Supreme Court. Three of the current nine justices on the Supreme Court, Justices Scalia, Ginsburg, and Thomas, first sat on the D.C. Circuit. Many commentators and activists, on the right and the left, believe that Mr. Estrada is being groomed for a Supreme Court appointment.
For all of these reasons, I believe it is my duty to give this nomination very close scrutiny. Unfortunately, Mr. Estrada has not made this task easy. In fact, by failing to answer the committee's questions candidly and completely, he has made it even more difficult. Unlike many of the circuit court nominees that the committee has reviewed so far, Mr. Estrada is not a judge on a lower court, with a record of judicial opinions that we can review to get an idea of his views and his judicial philosophy. And unlike some of the other nominees we have seen, he is not a law professor, with extensive written work which we can review and about which we can question him. He is a private attorney, with no published writings since law school. The Justice Department has refused to let the committee see his memos from when he worked in the Solicitor General's office, which may or may not be revealing of his views.
So we were left with the hearing to explore with Mr. Estrada directly the question of what kind of judge he will be on the D.C. Circuit. And at the hearing, Mr. Estrada steadfastly refused to help us. And his way of refusing was extraordinary. He took the position that he could not express an opinion about a case that had already been decided by the Supreme Court unless he took the time to review not only the opinion of the court, but all the briefs and the arguments of the parties, and also, and I'm quoting here from one of his answers: "[doing] all the legwork of investigating every last clue that the briefs and the arguments offer up." Mr. Estrada gave us no evidence of the kind of judge he will be, and for me, given the importance of this Circuit, and the history of appointments to this Circuit, that is not enough.
In a few areas, we have something to go on because Mr. Estrada undertook pro bono representation of a group called the Center for Community Interest on whose board he served. And I was not reassured by what I learned. Mr. Estrada not only defended an anti-loitering statute ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court, but on a radio program he took a very aggressive stance in dismissing the arguments made against the statute. He even went to far as to suggest that there was something improper about bringing the legal challenge. That attitude carried over in his arguments in a challenge to another anti-loitering ordinance, in which Mr. Estrada argued that the NAACP did not have standing to challenge the law.
I was also not satisfied with Mr. Estrada's answers to questions concerning his role in helping screen law clerk applicants for Justice Anthony Kennedy of the Supreme Court. Allegations have been made that Mr. Estrada saw himself as an ideological gatekeeper of sorts, with the task of making sure that no one who was too liberal for his tastes should get to be a clerk for the Justice. After first asserting that comments ascribed to him were meant as a joke, Mr. Estrada then gave very careful and lawyerly answers to followup questions. I cannot say for certain that he was untruthful. But he was certainly was not forthcoming. Both in this area and in his answers to questions concerning specific decisions of the courts or legal principles, I think the committee has the right and the duty to demand more openness and responsiveness from someone whose public record is so thin and who has been nominated for such an important judicial position.
Let me be clear. I probably would vote to confirm Miguel Estrada to a federal District Court judgeship. He has a distinguished academic and employment record. But for this crucial seat on this crucial court, I need to be confident that a nominee, if confirmed, will be fair, impartial, and not devoted to advancing an ideological agenda. Based on the record before me, I do not have that confidence in Mr. Estrada. I must therefore reluctantly vote No.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

By speech we refute the wicked and praise the good. By speech we educate the ignorant and inform the wise. We regard the ability to speak properly as the best sign of intelligence, and truthful, legal, and just speech is the reflection of a good and trustworthy soul If I must sum up on this subject, we shall find that nothing done with intelligence is done without speech.
Isocrates Antidosis
The Speech program offers college transfer and skill development courses that involve students in building relevant skills necessary for success in college-level courses.
The Speech Communication department at Lone Star CollegeTomball is devoted to the study of communication techniques from the public, business, small group, interpersonal, and intrapersonal contexts.
We offer courses that challenge the student to improve on skills necessary to their academic, business, civic, and personal lives.
We emphasize both theoretical and practical application of that theory. In addition, we are committed to educating students about being effective critical thinkers and ethical communicators.
The department supports various student activities on campus including student forums and the Lone Star CollegeTomball debate team.
Debate Club
Founded in the Fall of 2003, this student club is dedicated to the art of public dialogue as a means of resolving disputed issues. Critical thinking and clear arguments using ethical strategies are our goals. Practice in debate will positively impact your leadership skills and will enhance your capacities for any professional career.
Currently, the club is participating in Parliamentary debate tournaments in the local area.
Parliamentary debate requires no formal debate background to participate. Anyone from any major can participate with the Lone Star CollegeTomball debate club.
The club regularly elects officers and participates in the Student Government Association.
The club will shortly be affiliated with a number of professional organizations as a means of giving its members the widest possible access to the debate community and the opportunities available.
We welcome you to drop in on any of our meetings, typically held weekly on campus. Students need not participate in tournaments to be members, though such participation is encouraged.

At conferences of global educators in the Midwest in the mid-1970s, a handful of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers discovered one another and began meeting regularly to discuss how to promote at home the values and lessons they had learned as Peace Corps Volunteers in the developing world. They adopted as their mission one of the three goals articulated by President John F. Kennedy when he created the Peace Corps in 1961: come home and teach your neighbors about the communities where you served. They gave the growing numbers of returning Peace Corps Volunteers in America a continuing mission and a communal identity as Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs).
In 1978, these global educators joined with leaders of communities of RPCVs in New York, Washington, D.C. and four others, to create the National Council of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. They elected a steering committee to coordinate another convention the following year, 1979, to set a charter for a new group named The National Council of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (incorporated 1981), and to elect its first president. In 1993, we changed our name to the more inclusive National Peace Corps Association (NPCA).
Upon their return from overseas, RPCVs continue to receive recognition. 120,000 RPCVs accepted the Beyond War Award in 1987 in honor of their commitment to nonviolence. Through their participation in volunteer projects or other endeavors, many RPCVs remain active in the Peace Corps community today. NPCA has encouraged and recognized outstanding service by members of the Peace Corps community by awarding over 20 Sargent Shriver awards for distinguished humanitarian service. We also recognize achievements with the Loret Miller Ruppe Awards that honor outstanding community service in the US and Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
In response to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, NPCA created the Emergency Response Network (ERN) of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers willing to respond to crises when needed. Peace Corps Director Mark Gearan subsequently modeled the Crisis Corps (later renamed Peace Corps Response) after this successful program.
In 2002, NPCA was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, along with the Peace Corps.
Members of our organization continue to testify on Peace Corps legislation and key issues like safety and security, and our 2003 advocacy campaign helped garner the largest appropriation ever in Peace Corps history: $308 million for FY2004, plus another $15 million for Peace Corps HIV/ AIDS activities.
In 2005 NPCA scored a crucial and significant victory for the independence of the Peace Corps and safety of Volunteers when it successfully coordinated the removal of Peace Corps references from military recruitment legislation.
NPCA's More Peace Corps campaign (2008-2010) for a bigger, better and bolder Peace Corps led the way in securing an increase in funding for the Peace Corps beyond the amount requested by the President, which has only happened three times in its history. This campaign involved more than 20,000 active participants and culminated in a $60 million increase in funding totaling $400 million in federal appropriations to the Peace Corps for the 2010 fiscal year.
In coordination with the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Washington, D.C., NPCA organized 200 Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to march in President Barack Obama's Inaugural Parade on January 20, 2009.
NPCA has played an advisory role to Returned Peace Corps Volunteers seeking the return of Peace Corps programs to their countries of service, as in the recent cases of Colombia, Sierra Leone and Indonesia.
In 2009, the National Peace Corps Association launched Peace Corps Connect, a website and online social networking platform to help current and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers connect with each other and share ideas about projects, events, careers, and advocacy issues.
The same year, NPCA launched Africa Rural Connect, its online collaboration space that brings together those who have lived and worked in Africa – including the African Diaspora, rural farmers and Peace Corps volunteers – to discuss solutions to agricultural challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.
On September 20, 2011, NPCA released a report, "A Call to Peace," on the largest independent survey ever conducted to assess the impact of the Peace Corps over its 50 year history and beyond.
In 2011, NPCA led the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Corps by organizing large-scale events through the year, beginning with Global House Parties around the world on March 1, 2011, 10 Expos around the United States, and culminating in a 4-day weekend of events in September 2011.

Ford/Chevy guy!
92 F150 straight 6 won't start now
So now my truck won't start at all. It was running fine today until I parked it for a few hours and now it just cranks and lightly sputters every so often, but won't start at all. It almost sounds like its getting very little to no fuel to the motor, but also sounds like it also might not be getting enough spark. I also tried spraying some starter fluid in the intake and it didn't change a thing, though I'm not too sure if starter fluid really helps with fuel injected engines. (I don't know much about fuel injection and I personally hate it)
I'm wondering if maybe the ignition module or something else with the EFI system could have took a shit? And would be the symptoms of a bad ignition module? The truck is a 92 F150 straight 6 with a 5 speed manual for anyone that doesn't know. |

Team begins to blend in players from four schools
SPRINGHILL — When the Webster Parish School Board voted to consolidate four North Webster high schools into one there were happy people and some not so happy people.
But no one could blame Springhill head coach Joey Pesses if he was one of the happy people because the consolidation of the four schools into the new North Webster High School more than doubled the number of players on his football team.
