Capital Monuments: Exploring Washington, D.C.
In 1885, the year that Grover Cleveland first assumed the Presidency, the Washington Monument was dedicated and opened to the public later in his administration in 1888. The Washington Monument is one of a number of monuments to the history of the nation that are found in Washington, D.C. All are of interest, and all are worth investigating.

Stories from the Thousand and One Nights
In 1888, the Russian composer Nakolay Rimsky-Korsakov composed the symphonic suite, Sheherazade, based on some of the very famous Tales of the Arabian Nights. It is one of his most famous pieces, and there is every chance that both Frances and Grover Cleveland heard its music at one time or another.

Brrrr! Expeditions to the North and South Poles
In the first two decades of the 20th century, five men made history by traveling to and exploring both the North and South Poles. Their exploits were dangerous and exciting, and the whole world followed their adventures through newspaper accounts and magazine articles. Their names are synonymous with determination and bravery: Admiral Robert Peary, Matthew Henson, Dr. Frederic Cook, Robert Scott, and Roald Amundsen.

"Lockwood for President!" Belva Ann, Who?
Belva Ann Lockwood was the first woman admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court (in 1879) and the second woman ever to run for the Presidency of the United States (in 1884). Although soundly defeated for the Presidency (she won only a little over 4,000 votes) by Grover Cleveland, her story remains one of a woman who fought for what she believed in, and left a legacy for all to admire.

The Inventor Was a Woman
During Frances Folsom Cleveland's lifetime—the last half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century—American inventors literally changed the face of America. Although we are familiar with such inventors as Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell, we are much less familiar with inventors who were (and are!) women.

Digging Up the Past: Sir Arthur Evans and the Palace at Knossos
In the first decade of the 20th century (1900-1910), Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist, excavated the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. In doing so, he created a major advance in our knowledge about ancient Greece in general, and the so-called Minoan-Crete civilization in particular. Frances Folsom Cleveland Preston, whose second husband, Thomas Jex Preston, Jr. was a professor of art and archaeology, would have been extraordinarily interested in the work in Crete, which uncovered major examples of ancient art.

Geronimo and the Last of the Indian Wars
In 1886, during the second year of the Cleveland Administration, the Apache warrior, Geronimo, finally surrendered, marking the end of significant Indian Wars in the United States. The story of Geronimo, told in his own words and the words of others, is a story that should not be forgotten by either white or native Americans, because it is a story intricately woven into the fabric of American culture and society.

From Fingerprints to DNA: You Just Can't Hide!
There are many ways to convict a criminal of a crime, but one of the best is to have evidence that he or she was actually present at the scene! Fingerprints, and later, DNA evidence have been used for over a hundred years to identify who was there (and, more recently, who wasn't!). Let's look at the pros and cons of fingerprinting and DNA evidence.

"For He's Going to Marry Yum Yum": The Rise of the Operetta
Prior to the announcement of the engagement of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom, there was much speculation about whether or not the two would actually marry. Interestingly, much of the speculation revolved around Grover Cleveland and Frances's mother! The gossipers got it right, however, when, during a brief appearance by President Cleveland at a New York City Decoration Day parade less than a week before their actual wedding, bands played the current hit from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, The Mikado—"He's Going to Marry Yum Yum."

Iced Tea, Ice Cream Cones, and Other World's Fair Wonders
The Chicago World's Fair in 1893 was the last great World's Fair of the 19th century and the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 was the first of the 20th century. In each case, the exhibitions introduced artistic, industrial, and gastronomic marvels of all kinds. Ice cream and iced tea, for example, were each popularized at one of these two Fairs. The Chicago World's Fair was held in the year that Grover and Frances Cleveland came back to the White House, and the St. Louis World's Fair was held four years before Grover Cleveland's death.

Vaudeville: Mass Entertainment at the Turn of the 20th Century
One of the characteristics of the years in which the Clevelands' were in the White House was a growing emphasis on mass entertainment. But "mass entertainment" looked a good deal different then than it does today. By and large, "mass" meant that entertainment in a theatre or on a showboat was seen by very large numbers of people, because it traveled to where the people were. By the turn of the 20th century, one leading kind of entertainment was vaudeville, and people on the vaudeville circuits traveled all over the country, performing in cities and small towns—wherever there was a theatre or hall.

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Features
- Game Editions
In the first-person puzzle platformer Quantum Conundrum , players must use the unusual ability to shift dimensions to navigate the twisting corridors of Quadwrangle Manor. Players take on the role of a young kid dropped off on his uncle's doorstep for the weekend; his uncle just so happens to be the brilliant, eccentric inventor, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Upon entering the Professor's vast manor home retrofitted with crazy technology to test his latest hypotheses, players quickly realize their uncle has gone missing. Fortunately, players soon gain access to Professor Quadwrangle's latest invention, the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device, which, at the press of a button, will shift the world around them to an entirely new dimension. In order to find him, players must use the newly found IDS Device to dynamically change the world to and from a variety of different dimensions to progress through the complicated Quadwrangle Manor. While on the journey, becoming adept at utilizing the various dimensions will help them trek from one bizarre and challenging room to the next. It might sound easy enough, but it is a tall order for a kid in a giant puzzle of a manor!
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1
- Engaging Puzzle Gameplay: Using the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device, players will shift to and from various dimensions to manipulate the world around them and clear levels with increasing degrees of difficulty.
- Experience New Dimensions: Each dimension the player gains access to becomes a valuable asset to manipulate objects in the manor in a specific way. For example, the Fluffy Dimension makes heavy objects ten times lighter, enabling players to move what was once an immovable safe from one place to the next.
- Immersive, Interactive Environment: In addition to the various dimensions allowing the player to learn new skills and techniques, the look and feel of each dimension is completely distinct. When shifting to the Fluffy Dimension, everything in the room becomes soft and plushy like a cuddly version of its previous state. Every dimension carries its own atmosphere, letting the player feel like they are truly in the world.
- Unique Art Style and Humor: The Professor's manor and all the items within it have a unique style, but that's not all. Players should be on the lookout for humorous touches and jokes scattered throughout the manor home. Who wouldn't want to know what the infamous Professor Quadwrangle looks like in the Fluffy Dimension?

There are two ways to look at the United States' trip to Jamaica for Friday's World Cup qualifier. There is the positive view, that the U.S. has never lost in Kingston, and there is the negative view, that the U.S. has never won a qualifier in Kingston.
The U.S. has visited Jamaica four times and all four times they came away with draws, but the Americans are coming off of a win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca and the atmosphere at Independence Park in Kingston will pale in comparison. The Jamaicans are gearing up for their biggest match of qualifying in hopes of qualifying for their first World Cup since 1998, but Azteca is on a whole other level and at the very least, the U.S. has the confidence of winning in Mexico.
All is not well for the Americans, though. Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley will both miss the match due to injuries so the U.S. will have to head on the road without two of their best players. For a team that was unsettled as is in the midfield and struggling to sort out roles, the last thing they needed was to be without two of their best players.
Making matters worse is the form of Clint Dempsey, which is a complete question mark. The Americans' best player spent the summer trying to leave his club at Fulham and was excluded from preseason training for a while, did not play in the team's first two league matches and then once he did move to Tottenham, couldn't play in their match last week.
The result is a player who has not played a competitive match since early June. It would be unreasonable to assume that he will be in form so what kind of form will he be in? Will he be fit enough to start? These are all questions that nobody really has an answer to, Jurgen Klinsmann and Dempsey included.
Luckily for the U.S., they are still the better team. Luton Shelton, Dane Richards and Ryan Johnson have the pace to give the American defense trouble, but the Jamaicans are also a banged up bunch. Demar Phillips will miss the match through injury, leaving a gaping hole on the left and James Morrison is battling a knee injury and will not be 100% if he plays.
The U.S. got a standout performance from Geoff Cameron against Mexico and are relatively settled at the other three spots along the back line. Meanwhile, the depth of the American midfield should carry them even without Bradley and Donovan, while Jozy Altidore, Terrence Boyd and Herculez Gomez are all in some of the best forms of their lives.
If the U.S. is going to get their first win in Kingston, Friday could be it. Even down a couple players, they are the better side, are riding a wave of momentum and despite high expectations heading into qualifying, Jamaica has far from impressed early on in qualifying. This could be the Americans' chance to grab three points and take control of Group A.

Surveyors are checking to make sure that the Washington Monument is still 555 feet, 5 1/8 inches tall.
A review last year at the base of the monument found that it had not sunk into the ground after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake damaged parts of it in August 2011. But surveyors want to make sure it's still the same height, and they can only access the peak of the monument when it's covered in scaffolding, as it is now.
Surveyor Dru Smith says he has no reason to believe the height of the monument has changed. Results of the new survey won't be available for several weeks.
The measurement is being done by the National Geodetic Survey and is the first of its kind since 1999.

When Pierpont Morgan acquired his first medieval manuscripts at the end of the nineteenth century, he laid the foundation for a collection whose quality would rank among the greatest in the world. Since Morgan's death in 1913, the collection has more than doubled. Spanning some ten centuries of Western illumination, it includes more than eleven hundred manuscripts as well as papyri. To this should be added the Glazier, Heineman, Bühler, Stillman, and Wightman manuscripts, which include more than two hundred more items. Although the collection was formed to illustrate the history of manuscript illumination and includes significant masterpieces from the ninth to sixteenth centuries, there are also some important textual manuscripts.

A star-studded urban fantasy anthology starring bestselling authors Rachel Caine, Jennifer Estep, Kevin Hearne, Seanan McGuire, and Rob Thurman, and including Delilah S. Dawson, Kelly Gay, Mark Henry, Hillary Jacques, Jackie Kessler, Kelly Meding, Allison Pang, Nicole D. Peeler, and Jaye Wells, whose stories explore the creepy, mysterious, and, yes, sometimes magical world of traveling carnivals.
The traveling carnival is a leftover of a bygone era, a curiosity lurking on the outskirts of town. It is a place of contradictions—the bright lights mask the peeling paint; a carnie in greasy overalls slinks away from the direction of the Barker's seductive call. It is a place of illusion—is that woman's beard real? How can she live locked in that watery box?
And while many are tricked by sleight of hand, there are hints of something truly magical going on. One must remain alert and learn quickly the unwritten rules of this dark show. To beat the carnival, one had better have either a whole lot of luck or a whole lot of guns—or maybe some magic of one's own.
Featuring stories grotesque and comical, outrageous and action-packed, Carniepunk is the first anthology to channel the energy and attitude of urban fantasy into the bizarre world of creaking machinery, twisted myths, and vivid new magic.
This omnibus edition brings together both books of the post- Apocalyptic series about an Earth ruled by religious zealots and a distant world that is humankind's last, best hope...
The fates of Drakis, former slave warrior of the elven empire of Rhonas, and Soen, former Inquisitor of the Iblisi, are inexorably tied to the magic of Aether-lifeblood of the elven empire and the cause of humanity's fall. As each searches for the truth beyond legends, he must face his own destiny: Drakis amid the ruins of humanity's Lost Citadels; Soen in a desperate race to seize control of the farthest Aether Well of the empire...
Returning to Terre d'Ange, Moirin finds the royal family broken. Wracked by unrelenting grief at the loss of his wife, Queen Jehanne, King Daniel is unable to rule. Prince Thierry, leading an expedition to explore the deadly jungles of Terra Nova, is halfway across the world. And three year old Desirée is a vision of her mother: tempestuous, intelligent, and fiery, but desperately lonely, and a vulnerable pawn in a game of shifting political allegiances.

Expand the Nurse-Family Partnership to all low-income, first-time mothers
"Barack Obama and Joe Biden will expand the highly-successful Nurse-Family Partnership to all low-income, first-time mothers. The Nurse-Family Partnership provides home visits by trained registered nurses to low-income expectant mothers and their families. The trained nurses use proven methods to help improve the mental and physical health of the family by providing counseling on substance abuse, creating and achieving personal goals, and effective methods of nurturing children."
Subjects: Children, Health Care, Poverty
Program included in health care reform bill
Updated: Thursday, May 20th, 2010 | By Lukas Pleva
Back in September 2009, we reported on the status of President Obama's efforts to expand the Nurse-Family Partnership. The program sends nurses to the homes of pregnant women in low-income families to teach parents, especially mothers, how to better prepare for birth and to care for their newborns. According to President Obama, as well as a growing body of academic research, nurse visitation initiatives can have a positive long-term impact on the mental and physical development of children in low-income areas. A January 2010 study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine concludes, for example, that "preventive interventions for parents of young children that improve parental competencies and the early learning environment of the child hold considerable promise as a means of reducing health and developmental problems across the life course and associated costs to government and society."
At the time, we rated the promise In the Works, since one of the health care reform bills that Congress was considering would have allowed these programs, referred to as Nurse Home Visitations Services, to be paid for through Medicaid. We wanted to to wait and see how things unfold before issuing a final ruling.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. Section 2951 includes the following provision: "... the Secretary shall make grants to eligible entities to enable the entities to deliver services under early childhood home visitation programs ... to eligible families in order to promote improvements in maternal and prenatal health, infant health, child health and development, parenting related to child development outcomes, school readiness, and the socioeconomic status of such families, and reductions in child abuse, neglect, and injuries." Congress also appropriated $1.5 billion for these state grants.
So Congress did not end up incorporating the nurse home visitation services into Medicaid coverage, but it did provide billions of dollars in funding for state grants.
Promise Kept.

House bill expands nurse-family visitation
Updated: Monday, September 21st, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
President Barack Obama has supported programs that send nurses to the homes of pregnant women in low-income families to teach parents, especially mothers, how to better prepare for birth and to care for their newborns.
With health reform under consideration in Congress, nurse-family visits have gotten more attention. A bill in the House of Representatives allows these programs, referred to as Nurse Home Visitations Services, to be paid for through Medicaid. The visits would send trained nurses to families with a first?time pregnant woman or child under 2 eligible for Medicaid.
The measure still needs to move from proposal to enacted law. For now, we rate this promise In the Works

Injuries continue to be a major topic of conversation in Packers Nation, and that topic was the focal point of head coach Mike McCarthy's Monday press conference with the local media. In addition to disclosing that TE Jermichael Finley was headed for injured reserve — with his spot on the roster being taken by newly acquired S Anthony Smith — McCarthy said he looked forward to both CB Al Harris (knee) and S Atari Bigby (ankle) being able to participate in practice Wednesday fresh off the physically-unable-to-perform list.
"Well actually we're going to start practicing all three guys coming off PUP (RB John Starks, in addition to Harris and Bigby)," McCarthy said. "Frankly, we just want to see them out there in the group drills, in the team drills and just see where they are."
Also on the injury front, McCarthy said LB Brian Poppinga will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday morning, and that WR Donald Driver (quad) and ILB A.J. Hawk (groin) would likely miss practice time this week in advance of the Packers game against Minnesota.
McCarthy also spoke about the problems the team has had winning close games with Aaron Rodgers under center — 1-11 in games decided by four points or fewer — and the five sacks of Rodgers Sunday by the Dolphins.
"You need to look at the sacks," McCarthy said. "Not all those sacks were created by the defense. There are a couple of those sacks from our perspective, from our evaluation, that should not occur.
"We need to get that ready because we have an excellent defensive line in Minnesota coming here Sunday."
The way we see it
Obviously, the return of Harris and Bigby as soon as possible would provide a major pick-me-up for the Packers. So would the return of OT Mark Tauscher, whose stabilizing presence was missed Sunday.
"Getting better," is the way McCarthy described the shoulder injury that sidelined Tauscher Sunday. "I would say he is still a ways away, but he is getting better, getting stronger.

Phil Mickelson wasn't getting many mentions as Day 3 came to a close at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Saturday, but Lefty's making up for lost ground on Sunday afternoon. The back-nine still remains, but Mickelson currently holds the lead in this week's PGA Tour event.
Mickelson has shot a five-under through his first nine holes on Sunday, giving him sole possession of first place at Pebble Beach in the annual Pro-Am event. Lefty birdied three of his first five holes and then shot an eagle on Hole 6, putting him in excellent position as the tournament comes to a close. He overtook Kevin Streelman and Charlie Wi as the lone golfer ahead of the pack at 14-under after previously being tied with the two earlier in the day.
The big story on Sunday was supposed to be Tiger Woods, but he's been an afterthought on Day 4 as there are reports out there saying amateur partner Tony Romo is currently getting the best of him. It's tough to think it's actually that bad for Tiger, but he's fallen into a tie for tenth place on Sunday through his first 10 holes of play.
Only ten of the professionals taking part in Sunday's round have shot worse than Woods' two-over, though one of those golfers is Wi, the leader heading into the final round.

I used cranberry-pear white balsamic and it was a delicious dessert!
Saved some of the berries and juice and put them on a scoop of ricotta cheese the next day. I will make this again.
Easy recipe to make. Made it for a birthday celebration instead of a cake and it was the hit of the party! G. Malone
Instead of granulated sugar use Splenda. Tastes the same.
Dear HenryH-I just looked at a rhubarb coffee cake that had 66g. carbs per serving--33g. is certainly lighter, wouldn't you say? A recipe can be noted as light for a number of different reasons. There is only 1 g. of fat. If any recipe does not meet the specific needs of any one of us, we have only to find one that does--No need to rail against the site, the contributor, or anyone else. The recipe is not the one who needs to lighten up!

Furman's facility is the best. Everything is almost new and its campus beauty is famous nationwide.
meh, bad internet connection (inconsistent)
Very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing campus
Furman's campus life is vibrant usually. We have a newly renovated University center and ways to connect to nature. The organizations on campus are a great way to meet people.
They're all present but because the school is so small, the facilities are often small and obscure. No one has probably heard of that one club with 5 members just because of that reason, no matter what its about. With the student center renovations, campus hangouts are finally starting to form, but the library is still the main place.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Tenell Felder
Furman's facilities offer a wide variety of services to students. The Physical Activities Center, or PAC, has a large gym with a climbing wall, indoor pool, and workout facility. While the workout facilities need renovation, most of the equipment is new. The student center perpetuates Furman's reputation for having the atmosphere of a Southern country club. Picturesquely located at the banks of Furman's lake, the student center houses the bookstore, post-office, copy-center, food-court, movie theater, and coffee shop. The typical scene includes students sipping their lattes and chai teas on the patio as the occasional swan scuttles across the grass. Just up the hill, glistening fraternity members recreate Top Gun's volleyball scene on sunny afternoons as sunbathers recline on the lawn, smudging their textbooks with tanning oil.
Furman's campus is known for its beauty. The lake, bell tower, rose garden, fountains, and traditional architecture create a picturesque and idyllic setting. The facilities offered are remarkable for a university this size.

Swarzak excited to help out Twins
Right-hander will make his first Major League start Saturday
CHICAGO -- After five years in the Minor Leagues, right-hander Anthony Swarzak got "the call" Wednesday, and he was at U.S. Cellular Field to join the Twins as they closed out a three-game series against the White Sox on Thursday.
"I was just hanging out in my hotel room, it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday," Swarzak said of the call. "The [Triple-A Rochester] trainer, Tony Leo, called me and said, 'Stay there, pack your stuff. You're going up.' Words can't describe the feeling. You try to prepare yourself for that your entire life, and there's no preparing for that moment."
Swarzak will fill the spot in the rotation left by the injured Glen Perkins and make his first Major League start Saturday against Milwaukee. Swarzak was 3-4 with a 2.25 ERA at Triple-A Rochester this season.
The right-hander gave up just three runs in his first three starts and found himself 0-3 thanks to minimal offensive support. Swarzak went on to win his next three starts, having allowed no more than three runs against an opponent. He also struck out 32 batters in 44 innings while walking 11.
The difficult beginning to the season did little to change his focus.
"I've been around this game long enough," Swarzak said. "This game has a weird way of evening out. And I knew somewhere along the line, I was going to get a couple wins this year. Those first three starts, I wasn't worrying about it."
Swarzak was originally drafted by the Twins in the second round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft out of Nova (Fla.) High School. He was rated by Baseball America as the sixth-best prospect in Minnesota's organization entering this season.
After serving a 50-game suspension for violating Minor League Baseball's drug policy in 2007, Swarzak's numbers faltered at Double-A New Britain the following season. After a promotion to Rochester, Swarzak went 5-0 with a 1.80 ERA in seven starts to put himself back on the club's radar.
Once Perkins returns, Swarzak will either head back to Rochester or remain in the Twins' bullpen. Manager Ron Gardenhire wasn't sure Wednesday which road the club will take.
But Swarzak said he'll fill any role if it helps the big league club win.
"Anything I can do to help this team," Swarzak said. "I just want to try and make them better in any way, shape or form. If that means I'm wearing street clothes in the stands and rooting for them, I'll do whatever I can."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 2006
Boil water advisory issued
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department is issuing a boil water advisory for customers in the area of 47th to 63rd Street and Blue Ridge Cutoff to Lee's Summit Road due to a water main break at 47th and Pittman Road until further notice.
What is a boil water advisory?
A water system may issue a boil water advisory when there is a concern a problem with drinking water may exist, but it has not yet been confirmed. This may be done, for example, while waiting for results of confirmation samples collected for bacteriological analysis, which can take up to two days plus the time required to transport samples to the laboratory.
What precautions should I take if under a boil water advisory?
The following steps need to be taken:
1. Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use. Use only water that has been boiled for drinking, diluting fruit juices, all other food preparation and brushing teeth. (NOTE: Let water cool sufficiently before drinking (approximately 110 degrees F)
2. Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic ice maker. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled.
3. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water. NOTE : LET WATER COOL SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE DRINKING (APPROXIMATELY 110 DEGREES F)
Do I need to boil bath water?
Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing or using backyard pools so water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.
Some customers in this area may have been experiencing low pressure due to a water main break at 47th Street and Pittman Road that occurred Wednesday afternoon when a telephone contractor hit the 24-inch transmission main. Multiple Water Services Department crews including Engineering, Pipeline and the Laboratory have been on site since 5 p.m. Wednesday to repair the 24-inch transmission main.

A Sarasota father is under arrest, accused of punishing his 11-year-old daughter so brutally that she died from her injuries.
The little girl, Melissa Stoddard, suffered severe brain damage from the abuse.
Police say her father, Kenneth Stoddard, admitted that he repeatedly hog-tied her by binding her wrists and ankles with rope or duct tape. Sometimes the tape was also used to cover her mouth.
The autopsy found that Melissa died from a lack of oxygen, and now her father is charged with child abuse.

Accreditation at Southwestern Oregon Community College
Institutional Accreditation
Southwestern is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
Inquiries regarding an institution's accredited status by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
8060 165th Avenue N.E., Suite 100
Redmond Washington, WA 98052
(425) 558-4224
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is a nationally recognized regional accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education.
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities officially reaffirmed Southwestern Oregon Community College's accreditation on July 22, 2013, following a peer evaluation of the 2013 Year One Report. The next review by NWCCU is the Year Three Self Evaluation Report and On-site evaluation that is to be submitted to NWCCU by March 1, 2015 and followed by the visit in April, with a response by NWCCU in summer. The report addresses Standard 1 - Mission, Core Themes, and Expectations and Standard 2 - Resources and Capacity as well as addressing recommendations from prior reports.
Copies of the college's accreditation, self-study reports, approvals, and certifications are available for review by contacting the Accreditation Liaison Officer or requesting to review copies of reports which have been made available at the Library (not all reports are available at the Library at this time), located in Tioga Hall or posted on the Institutional Report Archives webpage. NWCCU Accreditation status is granted as an institution; any program specialized accreditation or approvals are granted by other agencies.
Dates of Reaffirmation and Approvals
Program Specialized Accreditation, Agency Self-Study and Approvals
Southwestern is recognized by multiple agencies for approval and program specialized accreditation.

Oregon State Board of Education
The curricula of programs are approved by the Southwestern Board of Education and then submitted to the Oregon State Board of Education for approval. The programs are subject to periodic evaluation both internally and externally by the state.
Institutional Effectiveness
Southwestern is committed to a practice of evaluating and assessing the effectiveness of the College. Accreditation and State Standards also require the College to have in place practices to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of all programs and the administrative operations. Measures of Institutional Effectiveness and Outcomes are ways the College demonstrates to the Accreditation agencies, the State, the Board, the students, the Community and the staff achievement related to programs and administrative operations.

"I cast another absentee ballot for Obama. And this time, when he won, I felt my hope a little more absent as well."
— I'm a Millennial and I'm disappointed in Obama
— I'm a Millennial and I'm disappointed in Obama
— U.S. President Barack Obama reportedly said to aides
A trio of issues — Obamacare, spying allegations and Benghazi — bring headaches to the White House this week.
In a place accustomed to tough stretches, this has been a particularly tough few days at the White House.
After emerging from the showdown over the Republican-led government shutdown relatively unscathed, the Obama administration finds itself under assault on three fronts: problems surrounding Obamacare, the revelations of the U.S. spying on allies, and the 2012 attack on the U.S diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, the latter for which a senator has threatened to hold up all of the Obama administration's nominations.
— U.S. President Obama's experience with Syria
Just thinking, President Obama signed to extend what is now a 12 year U.S. state of emergency on Tuesday. Is there an existential or pressing terror threat or is this to have access to emergency powers under the false definition of terrorism?
Another one from The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald:
Exclusive: Top-secret directive steps up offensive cyber capabilities to 'advance US objectives around the world'
These plans are directed by President Obama, who has ordered intelligence chiefs of his administration to come up with a list of targets to perform cyber attacks across the world. It is a plan called, "Offensive Cyber Effects Operations (OCEO)."
Here's the official directive by President Obama, via The Guaridan
A quote from President Obama:
He wanted to "review [] the authorities of law enforcement, so we can intercept new types of communication, and build in privacy protections to prevent abuse."

Obama gives major foreign policy speech: President Barack Obama plans to limit the use of U.S. drone strikes and close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

'But as U.S. president for the last 4-1/2 years,Barack Obama has faced accusation after accusation of impinging on civil liberties, disappointing his liberal Democratic base and providing fodder for rival Republicans as he deals with the realities of office.
News in the past week of the federal seizure of phone records from the Associated Press news agency and the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative Tea Party groups, has intensified criticism already simmering over the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and aerial drone strikes abroad.
Asked at a news conference on Tuesday why the administration had not done more for civil liberties, Attorney General Eric Holder said: "I'm proud of what we have done" and emphasized the administration's shift from Bush era harsh interrogation practices of terrorism suspects that had drawn international criticism.
When he took office in 2009, Obama promised to close the Guantanamo camp for foreign terrorism suspects, but it remains open with 166 detainees, many on hunger strikes in protest at indefinite detentions. Obama said last month he would revisit that pledge and blamed Congress for blocking his plan to close the camp, partly through restrictions on transfers of detainees.
The administration has defended its aerial drone strikes abroad, which have included targeting a U.S.-born terrorism suspect, as essential to the fight against al Qaeda and other militants in places such as Pakistan and Yemen.'
From reuters:
American leaders unveiled a statue of Rosa Parks on Wednesday, briefly setting aside political differences to honor the civil rights heroine, who became the first black woman to have a monument inside the U.S. Capitol.
Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a segregated Alabama bus for a white passenger in 1955 sparked a boycott that galvanized the movement for equal rights for blacks in Montgomery and nationwide.
Black men and women stayed off the buses, walking or arranging other rides to work for more than a year to fight for desegregation.

Cranberry Chicken
It's cranberry season and a great way to use the slightly sweetened dried type is in this quick chicken dish. This has just the right blend of sweet and savory, with a slight tang from the Dijon mustard. Serve with wild rice and a green vegetable for just the right busy-night meal.
Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Cost per serving: $1.00
1 Tablespoon cooking oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets (Note below)
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse-grind black pepper
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Combine cranberries, apple juice and chicken stock in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a gallon-sized plastic bag with zip top, mix flour, salt and pepper. Toss chicken breasts into bag and shake well until each breast is coated evenly with flour.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot add chicken and cook for 5 minutes each side. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Pour soaked cranberries with juice and stock into the hot pan, reduce heat to low and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Stir in mustard and add chicken back into pan.
- Cook for another 8-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and sauce has thickened. Serve chicken with sauce atop.
Note: Breast fillets are simply chicken breasts that have been cut horizontally to be thinner and cook quicker.

As I mentioned elsewhere, my new favorite comedy duo -- you know, since Martin & Lewis broke up -- is Angel Hernandez and Hawk Harrelson. When those two crazy kids get together, you never know what might happen!
For example, Friday night. Bottom of the 10th, White Sox and Marlins tied up 3-3, White Sox have the bases juiced with just one out. All they need is something; Marlins need a strikeout or (even better!) a double play. And they're playing at double-play depth.
Alex Rios slaps a grounder to shortstop, not particularly crisp, and it might be a double play ... but we'll let Hawk and broadcast partner Steve Stone take over ...
Hawk: Can't get him ... OH NO. NO.
Steve: -- He was safe at first---
Hawk: NO. NO.
Steve: Well Angel Hernandez blew the call and the infield being back should have cost them the game. It didn't.
Hawk: He is SAFE, and ANOTHER BLOWN CALL BY HERNANDEZ.
Here, you may see (and listen!) for yourself. Hernandez obviously did blow the call. I've seen worse, but the umpires do get this one right, the great majority of the time. Maybe Hernandez is just having a bad season, or maybe he really does miss more calls on the bases than most umpires. If there's any data on such things, I haven't seen it. Seems like something Baseball Info Solutions should be tracking, though.*
* hint
If there was any good news for Hernandez, it's that the White Sox did finally win in the 11th inning.

By Sean Horgan
Staff Writer
---- — Stop us if you've heard this one before: The city is continuing its efforts to find a use for the infamous I-4, C-2 waterfront parcel it owns on Rogers Street.
That future of that 1.89-acre waterfront parcel has been the topic of incessant debate and political maneuvering since the city purchased it for $1.5 million in June 2010. Yet, it still sits vacant, primarily used for parking and offering nary a hint of the potential city leaders trumpeted when they made it part of the city's real estate holdings more than three years ago.
While those winds of debate buffet the parcel from above, below the surface, the gears of government are grinding on.
"It's a messy, ambiguous process," Don Perkins, the president of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, said Tuesday after convening an invitation-only workshop with about 30 community members on the potential mix of uses for a multi-tenant ocean development center at the site. "I don't have sound bites for you today."
The city, at a cost of $62,749, hired the Portland, Maine-based GMRI in September to organize three invitation-only workshops to help develop a list of potential ocean-related, multi-tenant concepts for the site.
It did so largely on the strength of GMRI's success in developing its marine research and education facility on a 5.5-acre site on the Portland waterfront that opened in 2005, as well as the city's pre-existing utilization of GMRI's independent expertise on fisheries-related science.
The Portland center's tenants include GMRI and its $18 million research lab; the U.S. Coast Guard; the University of Maine School of Marine Sciences; two Scottish companies, one involved in renewable energy consulting and the other in aquaculture veterinary services; and a website and interactive kiosk design company.
Tuesday's workshop had about 30 invited participants from a cross-section of marine-related industries, community leaders, university and research organizations, and city planning and development staff.
Perkins described it as the embryonic stage to a complex process that he and city officials hope will bring real definition to realistic uses for the site. Nothing, he said, was locked in regarding specific uses or the composition of potential tenants.
"It has not crystalized that far yet," Perkins said. "It's a start."
Perkins said two groups not represented at Tuesday's workshop were private entrepreneurs and the commercial fishing industry. Both groups, he said, will be approached for their input as the process moves forward.
Two other key elements of the process will involve determining the physical capacity of the site, as well as the site's economic capacity.
"It's going to take an alignment of market opportunities, viable organizations or enterprises and investment in the form of some mix of equity and debt," Perkins said. "That equity can be private equity or public equity."
Sarah Garcia, the city's harbor planning director, said the city will retain a vital role in the development of the parcel.
"A lot of people in Gloucester want the private market to solve the problem," Garcia said. "This is about developing ideas into a collaboration and partnership. There is a public role for that."
The second Gloucester workshop is scheduled for November, with the final one scheduled for some time in the very beginning of January 2014, with GMRI's recommendation to the city coming not long after that.
"The final step would be to integrate what we've learned into a single idea the city can run with, stitching together the resources," Perkins said.
That schedule sets the stage for a very busy first quarter of 2014 for the city and its waterfront, as the GMRI recommendation could arrive just as the city is putting its finishing touches on a new harbor plan and the state's Coastal Zone Management agency and the city enter the final stages of their Designated Port Area boundary review.
That, according to Perkins, is not an unfortunate confluence of events.
"Communities ebb and flow on what they focus on," Perkins said. "Gloucester is very focused on how does it re-imagine the harbor. It's a very healthy time to be thinking about this property. Things aren't locked down right now. They're kind of up in the air. That's an opportunity."
Garcia said GMRI's recommendation will go to the mayor and city council. The city, if it decides to follow the course set out by GMRI, then would pursue further funding, perhaps in the form of federal monies, for the project's design.

AUBURN — A jury sided with Lewiston landlords in a lawsuit that claimed they were responsible for a tenant's lead poisoning.
Six members of the jury of five women and four men determined after three and a half hours of deliberation that Double Eagle Properties LLC shouldn't be held liable for the elevated blood-lead levels of 7-year-old Sami Tag who lived in an apartment at 93 Walnut St. in Lewiston.
At just over age 2 , Tag's test for blood-lead levels showed he was many times over the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommended limits.
William D. Robitzek, attorney for plaintiff Ali Tag, argued during closing arguments after five days of testimony that the building's owners should have replaced windows in the apartment that created dust that contained lead paint.
Sami Tag suffered permanent brain damage as a result of high blood-lead levels, Robitzek said. Tag has behavioral problems, a lowered IQ and learning disabilities.
"It would have been easy for Double Eagle to prevent this harm from happening," Robitzek told the jury during closing arguments Monday in Androscoggin County Superior Court.
Doctors who testified at the trial said Tag's heightened blood-lead levels would explain his current problems.
Robitzek, who argued for a jury award of more than $11 million, said the boy likely would have to live in a group home where his needs are cared for.
The verdict was "really unfortunate for the family," which is going to have to rely on taxpayers to help pay for Sami Tag's care the rest of his life, Robitzek said Tuesday.
Matica Douglas, who represented landlords Rick and Cheryl Breton, said the jury's verdict was proper based on the facts of the case.
"The evidence was not there to prove that this was my clients' responsibility," she said. "There was no neglect."
The landlords had painted the entire apartment with the proper, highly durable paint before Sami Tag moved in. The owners complied with all local, state and federal legal requirements regarding lead paint, Douglas said.
Moreover, they made the proper disclosures and Rick Breton even took a class in lead paint treatment "because he wanted to make sure he did things right," Douglas told the jury during her closing argument.
An inspection done before Sami Tag moved in OK'd it for occupancy, Douglas said.
After Tag's blood-lead levels sparked concerns, Double Eagle followed the prescribed guidelines, Douglas said.
Androscoggin County Superior Court Justice MaryGay Kennedy instructed the jury to first consider whether the defendants were negligent, then whether their negligence was the legal cause of Tag's damages.
The jury was told the threshold of proof for a verdict was a preponderance of evidence.
Both sides had stipulated that 90 percent of Lewiston's housing stock has lead paint. A verdict favoring the plaintiff may have had a chilling effect on area apartment rentals to families with children, Douglas said.

the reason Im not voting for McCain is because I know an Obama presidency will be bad and finally we will elected a conservative for a change.
Could Obama be "Good for America"? I think so. Just like a bad tasting medicine, we will have to swallow 4 years of Obama to finally realize what is good for us. They say an addict needs to hit rock bottom before they truely realize thier problems, and our country is an addict. It is addicted to spending money that isn't there. For decades the government has spent money it didn't have while saying "it's just temporary, we will stop later." That attitude has spread to the American consumer, and with devistating results. This current financial crisis wasn't caused by the Bush or Cheney or Pelosi or Harry Reid, it was caused by average Joes and Janes spending money they didn't have, buying houses they couldn't afford. Consumer spending has been rising around 7%/year for the last decade while wages and personal income has only risen 4%. We are addicted to deficit spending and the only way to kick that addiction is a hard crash down, and who better to bring that crash than "the man of change" Pundits have compared Obama to Carter. But Carter was good for the country because he made us realize how much we needed a President like Reagan. The Republicans had force fed the country a diet of Nixon corruption and Ford ineptness and it was time for a "change". Carter made the GOP realize that the answer wasn't another Washington insider, a career politician, but a cowboy, a leading man. Similarly, the GOP has fallen into the same rut. 8 years of the son of a career politician, 8 years of gaffes and ineptness and what do they offer us, a crotchity old has been career Washington insider who 8 years ago was a maverick but now is little more than a neo-con puppet. Another Gerald Ford. In '76 the GOP rejected the Cowboy Reagan in favor of the career politician, and in '08 the innovative businessman who started 1 company, saved 2 others, and made the Winter Olympics a profitable venture was rejected for a 26 year Senator famous for surviving plane crashes (3 crashes, 1 caught fire on deck). Obama will win this election. Barring some event of epic proportions Obama will be our next President. But the question is why. Sure he is a charismatic speaker and has a strong TV personna, but is that why he is leading in every poll? Or is it because the majority of voters don't see a choice. A young, vibrant, strong willed tax and spend socialist or an old, mistake prone, indecisive, tax and spend liberal who claims to be conservative. Those are the choices. The old days of a liberal candidate verses a conservative candidate have disappeared replaced with the liberal candidate vs. the slightly less liberal candidate. Given the choice between two similar products, people will invariably select the one that looks better. Obama will be good for the country, because he will force the opposition party to realize we need clear choices. Reduce spending vs. increase spending is a choice, increase spending and increase spending not as much really isn't. An independent man vs a tool of the Chicago political machine is a choice, a Chicago political tool vs a military/oil industry tool really isn't. Obama will bring change, change to the GOP that will hopefully give us better choices in Congress and the White House. Obama will be like catching chicken pox, it will be bad for a while, but once we are over it, we won't catch it again.
You do realize that the last "tax-and-spend" Democrat balanced the budget and left a huge surplus when he left office. The G.O.P. conservative spent all of that and put us in a trillion dollar hole. I'll take the Democrat.
Colorado? Are they seceding?
The one problem I see with your premise JG is I don't see a Newt or or Reagan on the horizon. Maybe one will come out of the woodwork, desperate times forcing someone to step up etc. Maybe one of the little known Governors? Who will it be?
And then there was Mitt's complete inability to debate McCain in the primary's...McCain owned him. Can you imagine what they would have done to this good man that was not able to fight back appropriately? It would have been similar to George HW Bush.
He introduced a nationalized health care system, developed by a dream team, that failed in Massachusetts. It was remarkably similar to that debacle we slammed Hillary about in '92-'93 (I think the big complaint was the centerpiece of Mitt's plan, forced enrollment into a government approved health care provider). He promised healthcare without new taxes, Massachusetts had enormous budget defeicits that were going to force the state to not cover some individuals and some taxes had to be increased.

The Center for Closing the Health Gap has launched a food desert awareness campaign aimed at creating lasting dialogue about the dire effects of restricted access to healthful foods and fueling the need for action.
According to the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, adults living in neighborhoods with no supermarkets and access to only convenience stores, smaller grocery stores or both had the highest rates of obesity. Research by PolicyLink shoes Cincinnati needs an additional 10 grocery stores to meet the national average.
"Communities need permanent access to healthy, affordable food every day," said Dwight Tillery, founder and president and CEO of The Center for Closing the Health Gap. "Living in a food desert means you are most susceptible to diet-related illnesses and to living shorter lives."
CCHG will implement a multifaceted public health campaign involving several elements, including billboards, TV and radio spots and online engagement.
The American Heart Association provided the center with an accelerated grant to help fund the campaign.
