The UNO Writing Center is not just a place; it is people: writers talking with writers about writing. Established in 2005 through Programs of Excellence funding, the center evolved from vision to actuality through the efforts of Shelton Hendricks, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Michael Skau, former chair of the Department of English; and Connie Eberhart, the center's first director. Dorianne Richards directed the center from 2007 until her retirement in 2010. The current directors are Travis Adams and Kathy Radosta.
Travis Adams is the Director of the UNO Writing Center and head of the Writing Across the Curriculum initiative for the University.
Cori Borgheiinck is working towards a BS in Biology.
AJ (Anthony) is working towards his BS in Secondary Education—endorsement in Social Sciences—with a minor in History. He has been enthusiastic about history, geography, government, and the like since roughly the fifth grade when he was forced to memorize "Paul Revere's Ride." When AJ isn't indulging in a text covering American history, he enjoys building LEGO sets—recreationally and professionally. AJ is a "speed builder" who has traveled from D.C. to San Francisco building LEGO creations for display and competitions. AJ also operates an online-LEGO store during his spare time.
Bill DeGraw is an emeritus professor in the Department of Biology. His research explored physiological adaptations for migration in birds. During more than 40 years of teaching at UNO he taught courses in animal physiology, endocrinology, histology, as well as introductory courses for majors and non-majors. During the past 15 years, he taught a junior-level course in writing designed for majors in biology, biotechnology, and environmental studies. In addition, he has extensive experience as an academic advisor, especially for the pre-health professions. Retirement gives him a chance be more involved in his favorite activities: cycling, hiking, and refinishing old furniture.
Jenna DeWilde is is a sophomore Criminal Justice major and in her spare time, works as a Staff Assistant for the Writing Center. When she isn't studying, she enjoys reading just about anything but a textbook! She especially enjoys reading C. S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien, Sir Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, and Jane Austen!
Kathy is an instructor in the English department, teaching both composition and ESL courses. This is her 5th year working in the Writing Center and her 1st year as Associate Director. Previously, worked as a Graduate Consultant in the Writing Center, focusingprimarily on the work of graduate students and their writing projects. Kathy's undergraduate degrees are in Russian and Spanish; she holds M.A.s in Russian and English as well. Additionally, she has completed extensive coursework in the College of Education. Kathy conducts several workshops on citation style (APA, MLA and Chicago) each semester.
Callie Reitfors earned her BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Nonfiction from UNO, and she is now pursuing her MA while working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the English Department. When she's not fantasizing about her name someday appearing on a future bestseller list, she like to hang out with her dog, a spirited Lab-vizsla rescue in her rebellious teenager stage – this puppy is always entertaining, to say the least. If you're ever in HPER, you'll probably see her on a bike with a book, trying to scribble notes for class while simultaneously getting her sweat on.
Rita Shelley earned her B.A. and M.S. in Journalism from Kansas State University. Her research interests include Great Plains literature, the intersection between visual art and writing. If you're looking for someone to discuss Salman Rushdie or Laura Ingalls Wilder, seek her out. In her free time, Rita enjoys sewing, origami, and gardening.
Brenda Sieczkowski earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Florida. After taking several years off from academic pursuits to work with chronically homeless individuals, she is currently studying for her PhD exams in Creative Writing and Literature from the University of Utah. Her poems, reviews, hybrids, and nonfiction have appeared in a wide variety of journals, and her first full-length book of poetry will be out in November 2013 from Black Lawrence Press. If you see her reading something other than poetry, it is most likely a book on neuroscience or Victorian science.
Suzanne earned an MA in English with a focus in Rhetoric and Composition, the Advanced Writing Certificate, and a BA in Theatre from UNO. She spent a year at the United Way of the Midlands as an Americorps member and five years as a teaching artist, actor, and stage manager at the Omaha Theater Company for Young People at The Rose. In the summer, she serves as Stage Manager for Nebraska Shakespeare's Shakespeare on the Green. During the school year, she knits, stage manages for the Omaha Community Playhouse, and listens to NPR.

That has yet to be decided. The process of determining inclusion on the basis of sexual preference has been incremental, state by state, often trampling on the desires of the voters. Hopefully, SCOTUS will settle the issues, but that would surprise me.

I can't say how many Muslims practice polygyny
nor the number of Mormon offshoot adherents practicing polygyny
but the sheer size of the two combined, DWARFS that of polygyny practicianers.

So again my point, dont continue to stretch the definition of marriage. Create the equality desired in CUs.
so you are saying that the States have the power to write a civil union contract that includes federal protections? Has DOMA tied the hands of any State that wishes to construct a civil union contract that is equal as far as federal rights and also includes a portability clause to the standard civil marriage contract?
Bush's "de-Bathification program" eliminated all vestiges of Sunni power in Iraqi society and set the stage for the Sunni insurrection against American occupation and the new Shiite-led government. Bush disbanded the entire Sunni-dominated Iraqi Army and bureaucracy. He didn't change it. He didn't make it more inclusive of Shiites and Kurds. He just disbanded it. It is no accident that two of the top commanders of today's ISIL are former commanders in the Saddam-era Iraqi military.

I think so im in favor of it yes.Ive watche dthe sister wives show and I dont really believe they are being treated like slaves no.
Although Im not in that type of relationship Ive ea don christian to Christian debate one lady said all Polygay ladies are nothing but slaves and viewed as poperty and its abuse.
However I do ahve a guyfriend who is Polyamourous Poly means many and Polyamourous people ahve many relationships instead of marriages;However some Poly relationships work like this; The man can have as many girlfriends as he wants but the woman who is married to him has to stay true to him although his girlfriends dont.
I uh had a friends with benefits deal on Poly sex relationship with him. Some might tink the same thing about the wife in that circumstance as wells ense shes not allowed to have other partners.
But the way it works with her is even though she cant have other boyfriends she does have to meet his girlfriends know who theya re and give him pemission to see them. She met me and she knew I was mentally ill and didnt have any designs on her husband.She aproved of me and actually she and I are good friends now
BUT she is also allowed to come and go as far as living circumstances and wirk goes. She does alot of volunteer work for UU is a leader for the church and I believe she works some too and she goes and travels alot she goes and does what she wants without having to have his permission without his approval.
I can see where some Polygamy sitautions maybe the same. The women are all his brides and they cant have other men but they are free to come and go travel and work how they want pursue career college whatever because hes got the other women there. See B knows that her husband wont be lonely becuse hes got other women so.
Thats how it works.

A day after being reprimanded, Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma on Thursday said he felt "humiliated" and threatened to quit the Congress if he was stopped from "fighting" against SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.
He denied the claim of AICC in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Madhusudan Mistry's that he had expressed regret and promised not to speak against Mr. Yadav again.
"My effigies were burnt yesterday. After the statements which have been published in newspapers today, I felt humiliated," Mr. Verma told a group of reporters here.
"I am not in politics for chair or to become a Minister. I believe in values... I can quit Congress any time or it can remove me... I can tender my resignation if Congress becomes an obstacle in my fight with Yadav," he added.
His statement came a day after Mr. Mistry reprimanded him for his remarks that the Samajwadi Party chief should "first try to get the job of a sweeper at the residence of the PM if he is nursing ambitions of becoming the Prime Minister.
In an apparent attack on Mr. Mistry, Mr. Verma said there are "multiple centres of power" in Congress. "There is no harm if there were even 10 centres of power but these should be just with an upright intention unlike Uttar Pradesh where various centres of power are indulging in loot and corruption."
Keywords: Beni Prasad Verma, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Madhusudan Mistry, Beni-Yadav spat, Congress-SP alliance
