Building northern communities
Diavik has developed a northern mining operation with a predominantly northern workforce. To support its employment commitments, Diavik has established hiring practices that gives first consideration to Aboriginal people, with special emphases on residents from neighbouring communities, including the Northwest Territories and West Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut. During construction, more than 40 per cent of the several hundred people who built the Diavik mine were northern residents, and CAD$900 million in contracts went to northern firms.
Diavik has introduced measures to assist in recruiting, retaining and developing northern employees, including:
- Actively promoting and encouraging careers in the diamond mining industry to northern youth.
- Identifying opportunities and encouraging northern students to gain summer employment in the industry.
- Employing and training eight to 18 apprentices.
- Reducing employment barriers through the establishment and application of minimum acceptable standards for trainable positions.
- Providing a northern cost of living allowance.
- Providing active scholarships and stay in school programs.
- Encouraging Aboriginal workers to reside in their home communities by providing free round-trip transportation, expanding point-of-pickup communities in the region and providing employee and family assistance programs.
The Diavik Diamond Mine has offered much to the region, not only in terms of jobs, but also in terms of training and capacity-building for communities.
Construction benefits
The construction of the Diavik Diamond Mine led to many benefits for northern communities.
During the Diavik Diamond Mine construction phase, employment averaged approximately 800 workers, peaking at about 1,500. Construction employment was 44 per cent northern surpassing the 40 per cent northern employment goal, with half the northern workforce being northern Aboriginal. Of the almost CAD$1.3 billion in construction contracts and contract commitments, approximately CAD$900 million were with northern businesses. Of this, over CAD$600 million was with northern Aboriginal joint ventures and northern Aboriginal firms. The level of 74 per cent northern spending almost doubled Diavik's 38 per cent commitment formalized in the Diavik Socio-Economic Monitoring Agreement.
Diavik helped create a community based training partnership with communities, contractors, governments, and educational institutions. Training included classroom study and hands-on training on actual community infrastructure projects. Many graduates reported increased levels of self-esteem and confidence.
Diavik's community-based training partnerships created some 234 graduates during construction, most of whom found employment with Diavik contractors, at other mine sites, or local community governments. A number of these graduates ultimately joined the Diavik operations workforce.
Operations benefits
The Diavik Diamond Mine has brought about growth in employment and training opportunities for people of the North.
Diavik's commitment to the development and continuous learning of its employees has seen the establishment of training policies and practices that assist employees in enhancing their skills and performance. Operations training build worker confidence and raise skill levels, creating a safer workforce and allow workers to continue training and advance their career objectives. Training initiatives include:
- training for operation specialized equipment, including haul trucks and processing equipment;
- training to enhancing workplace skills; and
- supervisory and management training.
Further professional development is available through a full-time Workplace Learning Centre that Diavik established on site, where workplace educators assist workers in developing career plans, and in finding specific training, or upgrading programs to assist them on their career path. Diavik's Aboriginal Development Program, based on SAIT Polytechnic's applied management certificate program, offers more than 160 hours of leadership training and mentoring from Diavik staff. It is designed to ensure Aboriginal people are employed at all levels throughout the organization. Since the 2004 pilot program, several groups have graduated with a total of over 50 graduates. This program has now transitioned to the Aurora College and is open to all northerners. Diavik continues to support the program with participants.
Diavik is committed to employing 66 per cent northern workforce with 40 per cent Aboriginal during mine operations. At mid-year 2014, Diavik employed 476 northerners, above original feasibility studies estimates.
Central to skilling communities in the region are the northern apprenticeships Diavik offers. At mid-year 2014, there were 20 apprentices at Diavik, all of whom are northerners of which 10 are Aboriginal. Since 2003, 40 northerners have achieved journeyperson designations at Diavik.
In 2010, we committed to add 86 new apprentices through 2020.
Through such measures, Diavik expects that it will meet, and exceed, its employment commitments embodied in its Socio-Economic Monitoring Agreement.
Partnerships with northern businesses
Diavik is committed to fostering long-term sustainable business relationships in the North, ensuring that northern businesses participate and benefit from the mine. During 2013, Diavik spent $362 million on goods and services, of which 72 per cent was with northern business. Since construction began in 2000, Diavik total cumulative spending is $6.0 billion, with total northern spending of $4.3 billion (72 per cent). Of the $4.3 billion, some $2.3 billion is with northern Aboriginal companies.
Some of the Diavik's northern contractors include:
- Bouwa Whee: supplies catering and camp services; (Bouwa Whee is a Yellowknives Dene First Nation company, previously, the contract was with a Yellowknives Dene First Nation joint venture company;
- Tli Cho Logistics: supplies site services contract (road and airstrip maintenance, snow clearing, handling of aircraft on ground). Tli Cho Logistics is a good example of a new Aboriginal company that Diavik helped to create and which has grown with Diavik's support;
- Denesoline Western Explosives and;
- Kitikmeot Cementation Mining Development: runs a training program to help Diavik create Aboriginal underground miners for the next stage of its mining operations.
Socio-economic benefits generated by Diavik are published publicly in its SEMA reports.

Remember the early years of the Tea Party Movement? Every liberal "reporter" under the sun vehemently tr
ied to push the narrative that Tea Partiers were violent, that they were bigots. Andrew Breitbart went to his grave, never having to actually dole out the promised $100,000 to anyone who could provide proof of racial epithets being hurled at legislators pushing to pass Obamacare.
While we will likely never receive an apology for these attacks on our character, it would be nice to see legitimate outrage from the media concerning the absolutely disgusting savagery witnessed in Michigan as the governor signed right-to-work legislation.
The above video depicts the union thugs tearing down the American for Prosperity tent with people still inside as Annie Patnaude, a representative of American for Prosperity, discussed with Fox News what was occurring.
In a despicable manner, a small business owner, Clint Tarver, had his hotdog cart destroyed by union "activists" who could not tolerate a different perspective and took out their rage on an innocent hotdog vendor. Shouting vile racial epithets and accusing him of being an "Uncle Tom," these "progressive" liberals showed what liberal tolerance is all about.
If this is the face of "progressive" ideology, count me out.

Henrico Humane Society Receives Gift from Beath Foundation
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/19/10
The Henrico Humane Society (HHS) announced today that it had received a grant from the Jessica Beath Foundation. The foundation also agreed to a matching gift program for donations made to Henrico Humane Society through February 2011. The Beath Foundation's mission is to provide for general charitable purposes, most notably the care and rescue of animals.
"This generous grant from The Beath Foundation will allow us to help animals in desperate need of expensive medical care which we may not have otherwise been able to afford," said Courtney Morano, Henrico Humane Society president. "We are grateful for their support of our organization, which operates solely on donations, volunteers and fundraising."
As a result of the grant, HHS recently was able to save Beatrice, a puppy rescued from an animal shelter and diagnosed with persistent aortic arch condition, which requires open heart surgery. Dr. Lori Pasternak, with Helping Hands Veterinary Surgical and Dental Care, performed the surgery which saved Beatrice's life. The society intends to provide medical care for many other animals as a result of the new grant.
Jessica Beath started The Beath Foundation in 1991 to honor the memory of her husband Dr. Thomas Beath, her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas and her sisters Annie Thomson and Beatrice Stockdale. She died this year at the age of 106.

'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

X Factor: Ella Henderson and Micky Parsons' District3 turn in electrifying performances
Posted: October 22, 2012|
THEY'VE still got the X Factor!
Teen sensation Ella Henderson and boyband member Micky Parsons are still in the running for the coveted X Factor crown.
And it's no surprise following their performances on Saturday night's live show.
It was Club Classics week – and both Tetney teenager Ella and Cleethorpes-born Micky, of band District 3, nailed their performances.
The previous week had been a tough one for District 3, who found themselves in the bottom two.
But they won the dreaded sing-off against Gary Barlow's contestant Melanie Masson to sing another day – and as the judges all agreed, they came back fighting.
Their Madcon/Chris Brown mash-up saw Micky leading the three-piece in a confident, energetic performance which even saw him perform a rock-star style leap from a high platform.
He personally thanked creative director Brian Friedman after receiving nothing but praise from the four judges.
They all agreed that being in the bottom two had probably been the best thing that could have happened to them.
Tulisa, who is mentoring the girls, including Ella, told Micky and his bandmates Greg and Dan: "As bad as it sounds, I am actually happy that you were in the bottom two last week – it gave you the kick up the bum you needed to come back fighting."
Gary Barlow described them as "the revelation of the night."
He said: "Wow. I'm so impressed. Coming out in the bottom two acts was the best thing to happen to you."
Their own mentor Louis Walsh, told them: "You did it tonight. We have not just got one new boyband (fellow act Union J), we have got two great boybands now in the competition."
Nicole Scherzinger, who is looking after the boys' category, added: "You're giving the other groups a run for their money after that performance. It felt I was watching another group. I'm so proud of you boys."
Both acts had a nervous wait on Saturday – District 3 were the 10th of the 11 remaining acts to perform and Ella was last.
But it certainly didn't affect her – the 16-year-old's performance of Candi Staton's You Got The Love once again brought praise from the panel.
It was only Gary who found fault in her first dance routine on the X Factor, which she had said in her pre-show interview she was really looking forward to.
Friedman had said during rehearsals: "Ella Henderson can dance!"
But Gary said he felt the "Steps-style" dance moves had "cheapened her act".
He did however tell her first: "Another great vocal performnce."
But his criticism started a row with the other three judges, who reminded him that she is "only 16".
Mentor Tulisa argued: "She's 16!".
And Louis Walsh retorted: "Gary Barlow, she's got the X Factor. In five years' time she's going to be an international star and we will be watching your clip back.
Nicole's response to Gary was: "Maybe that's just because some people can't dance.
"She's a class act.
"Ella, I want to find something to critique you on, but I just can't."
Tulisa said: "You're 16 years old, let's not forget how young she is."
Gary, who referred to her as "the Adele of the competition" responded: "When she sings, it's magic."
Ella told host Dermot O'Leary, who had pointed out to Gary that she was probably too young to know who Steps were: "I think this week I just wanted to have a bit more fun and feel 16."
Her earlier VT had shown her delighted reaction to a tweet from superstar Adele after last week's performance.
The Someone Like You singer had tweeted about how much she had enjoyed her performance of Minnie Ripperton's Lovin' You.
Ella's father, Sean Henderson, said: "We are so pleased that Ella has got to the next round and she has been putting her all into the show.
"We thought her performance was amazing and we know she has a great music career ahead of her."
And Micky's mum, Carol Parsons, told the Telegraph: "This is fantastic for Grimsby and Cleethorpes to have two fantastic talents still in the competition.
"I hope everyone enjoyed District 3's more upbeat song with a bigger production involving dancers – I thought it was fantastic."
Last night's results show kicked off with an ensemble performance – this week led by Ella – of Ain't Nobody.
And during the tense results section, Ella didn't have long to wait as she was the second act to be announced.
District 3 were the seventh to be called out by host Dermot O'Leary.
The sing-off between the bottom two acts – Gary's Kye Sones and urban group MK1 saw it taken to deadlock for the third week running with two votes each from the panel. MK1 got the fewest public votes and was the third act to leave the competition.
See www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk/xfactor on Saturday and Sunday night and Monday's paper for the latest X Factor news.

« The Evidence That Doesn't Convince | Main | Estate Agent or Climate Scientist - Who is more trustworthy? »
Voted and sent a comment:
The "evidence" is opinion, much of it bought with taxpayers money. The climate is changing as it has done for billions of years and will continue to do so for billions more. The predictions have all proven to be wrong so far and the suppression of alternative opinions that challenge the climate change religion is completely unscientific. Climate change "science" isn't science at all, it's opinion auctioned to the highest bidder. Climate change "scientists" are making more money than they could ever have dreamed of from selling propaganda to governments.
Good find. It's nicely done.

Anyway, in reconstructing my game, I have forgotten a couple of things:
- how do I edit to allow for longer replays? oneof the .ini files I think??
- how do I edit to allow for hi-res cars? Again, I beleive there was a line in an .ini file for this too.
any help appreciated

Here is what I remember on a few things:
NOTE--- Always make a back-up copy of files before changing:
1st on re-installing all the updates follow this order or you may have issues:

1) N2k3 Track Pack.exe VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THIS FIRST!!!
2) N2k3 Patch 184.108.40.206.exe
3) PWF N2k3 GNS Hi-Rez Mod.exe
4) PWF N2k3 CTS Hi-Rez Mod.exe
5) PWF N2k3 CUP Damage Mod.exe (I choose not to install for league play because it is a disadvantage in league races due to fuel leaks after wrecks)
6) PWF N2k3 IROC Hi-Rez Mod.exe
7) PWF N2k3 IROC Mod Model Fix.exe
8: PWF N2k3 PTA Hi-Rez Mod.exe
9) PWF N2k3 PTA Higher Cockpit POV.exe
10) PWF N2k3 PTA Mod Utility Update v1.2.exe

ASA N2k3 Mod.exe
Hooters Pro Cup N2k3 Mod.exe
Ferrari 330 N2k3 v1.1.exe & Ferrari 330 N2k3 Sound Pack Alternate.zip
OWR N2k3 Hi-Rez Mod.exe
Any other created Mods
Non-Papyrus Add-on Tracks
PART 3 Should be installed last
Add-on Gauges, Dashes, Sounds, Pace Cars, Setups, & Wheels etc.
2004 Nextel Sunoco Track Textures Season Update Patch.exe & 2004 Nextel Sunoco Track Textures Season Update Patch 1.0.exe
As for the settings another few good points of interest:
Open up your C:/papyrus/Nascar4/Nascar2002 or Nascar2003 racing season directory. These ini.file adjustments will work with all three Sims.
The- core.ini file
First off I have yet to adjust the [FileLRUCache]
They say just put a number 1 in front of the existing number, not yet I say.
Next, look for the
I also choose not to change this number as of yet
Next, open the rend_ogl or the rend_d3d file, whichever your running the game in, OpenGL or D3D.
Look for the line that reads.
Now if you are running a 512 video card reguardless of make change this number to the following
TextureSetSize=475430912 (I just doubled their calculation for a 256meg card)
Next changed the following as stated
Then look for the,
Change the 8 to a 0
Save these changes and close the file.
Then, In your players directory. Open the Player file
Look for the line that reads
Graphic Opitions]
texture_quality= -1
Change this number to 100 Positive 100
Now after making these changes be sure you have the latest and greatest drivers for your particular video card, now go through and adjust your cards 3D settings as far as Anisotropic Filtering= 16X, Anialiasing Setting 8s or 4x, and crank up the performance on any other options you have control over. Yes you will take a frame rate hit but you can turn some of the in game graphics off to gain back what you need.
Below are a few settings for the demo and should apply for the full version:
By default NASCAR® Racing 2003 Season Demo will try to use a much free memory as is available for replays. This should be fine for most users, however if you find that you need to force this to a larger value to save longer replays, or wish to force it to a smaller value if performance is suffering, you may edit the "replayMemoryOverride" value in [Replay] section of CORE.INI. This value is in KB, so for a 64MB replay buffer you would set this value to 65,536 (64MB x 1024KB/MB).
By default, NASCAR® Racing 2003 Season Demo's Paint Shop will save files using DXTC (DirectX Texture Compression). This reduces the texture memory requirements for the car textures by a nearly 4:1 margin, allowing more high detailed car textures to fit in the same amount of memory. If you would prefer that the Paint Shop not compress the car textures when they are saved, edit the save_textures_with_compression line in your PLAYER.INI, changing the 1 to a 0:
save_textures_with_compression=1 ; Enable texture compression on saved textures.

Hey thunderbolt,
How bad was it to get Vista to play nice with NR2003?
I'm upgrading here in a couple of months, and I'm going with Vista so I'm interested in how they work together.

I tried all the suggestions above. I also made sure to update my video drivers. One thing I also found is the NR tweaker caused me grief and I did not use the reccomended settings but went with defaults. Game now seems to run with no issues.

ok i havent messed with those files, but here is my question?? i used to have a 64, then 128, now i use a G-Force 256 video card, each time i used a high res car, with all 3 video cards i could tell the cleaner and better details on cars, and didnt change the ini file like mentioned , so when the game searches for your video does it automatic select that so you don't have to change the ini file yourself???? or if i change it like you said, will the graphics get even better???? so before i even try to this, i already see a huge differance in cleaner and brighter detail without changing it with hi res cars???thanks for any help on this

Anyone know off the top of thier heads if these tweaks change the appearance of the cars on the track? The cars look awesome for me in paintshop and player info, but on track the cars decals look blurry and glazed over. nVidia 8600GT is my new vid card.
Goin to try these changes when I get home, but think I am still missing something.

'Vibrant Response' to Likely Cause Increased Traffic
Expect to see increased military convoy traffic around Camp Atterbury and the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in the coming days.
The increase is due to units participating in the "Vibrant Response" exercise, underway from July 27 through Aug. 23. You can also expect to see a large number of commercial tractor trailers on Hospital Road from July 27 through Aug. 1 and on Schoolhouse Road from Aug. 6-12, and again from Aug. 18-23.
A detour is scheduled to begin on or near Aug. 1 on Schoolhouse Road that will divert traffic east on to Division Street, then south on Gatling Street before turning west on Edinburgh Street and south back on to Schoolhouse Road.
You should expect and prepare for traffic delays during these times.

Every family has its holiday traditions. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other holiday this time of year, a common thread is the coming together of family for thanksgiving and fellowship to celebrate those things we hold dearest. This year, my youngest brother got married, and as we welcomed a new member into our ever-growing family, I couldn't help but pause and reflect on family traditions of holidays past. My earliest Christmas memory is from when I was …

Various activities organised in commemoration of ASEAN Dengue Day
Singapore, 16 June 2013 – Singapore joined hands with countries in the region to observe the ASEAN Dengue Day. As we acknowledge the regional scourge of dengue which recognises no borders, we commit to a concerted effort to reduce the burden of dengue in this region. Besides participating in the 3rd ASEAN Dengue Day Conference & Regional Observation in Hanoi, NEA is launching a fresh set of outreach materials to step up its public education. NEA has also organised various activities with our partners and stakeholders such as the scientific community, medical professionals and government agencies, to call for action to fight dengue.
3rd ASEAN Dengue Day Conference
2 At the 3rd ASEAN Dengue Day Conference & Regional Observation held in Hanoi, Vietnam, NEA's representative met our counterparts from the region to exchange information and knowledge on dengue. Besides the national anti-dengue efforts including the Do the Mozzie Wipeout campaign, Singapore's presentation also focused on virus surveillance and mathematical modeling for early warnings of outbreaks.
Stepped Up Publicity and Resource Materials
3 On the home front, NEA is calling everyone to be a "Dengue Fighter". For the first time, the collaterals will feature dengue prevention volunteers who have been working alongside NEA to reach out to families, neighbours and friends to advocate dengue prevention. For example, Mr Ganesan Kulandai who has been a member of the Dengue Prevention Volunteer Group (DPVG) since 2004, is featured together with Ms Felicia Goh, a new DPVG volunteer (Refer to Annex 1 for poster visuals). Their dedicated efforts together with 2,000 other DPVG volunteers from all over Singapore are invaluable, having given their time and efforts to reach out to more than 700,000 households since January this year.
4 In addition, NEA has produced a series of web-based short video clips on how members of the public can protect themselves against dengue. The video also shows the right way of spraying insecticide and the 5-step Mozzie Wipeout. Available in the four official languages and three dialects (Hokkien, Cantonese and Teochew), the video aims to reach out to a wider audience on the important message of dengue prevention. The videos can be accessed via the links at Annex 2.
Pledge Signing Ceremony by Land Transport Authority (LTA)
5 To commemorate ASEAN Dengue Day, LTA and its contractors will pledge to practise effective vector control and undertake dengue preventive measures tomorrow. As a member of the Inter-Agency Dengue Taskforce (IADTF), LTA has been supportive of dengue prevention initiatives. Since 2011, LTA has been conducting annual X-dengue pledge signing events for their contractors and project management teams to come together to commit to fight dengue by keeping their worksites free from mosquito breeding.
Outreach to Medical and Scientific Community

All Six Nittany Lions to compete in NCAA Individual Finals claim All-America honors
Under the direction of Randy Jepson, the 2000, 2004, and 2007 National Coach of the Year, the Penn State men's gymnastics program has carried on the proud tradition of excellence and achievement established by its forebearers. After guiding his teams to three national championships and two Big Ten titles, Jepson serves as a symbol of Penn State's vaunted gymnastics heritage.
Testament to his impact upon and dedication to the Penn State program and the sport overall, Jepson received the prestigious CGA Honor Coach Award in 2011. Bestowed annually, the Honor Coach Award recognizes CGA member coaches with 25 years or more of service to the sport of gymnastics. Presented with the honor at the NCAA/CGA Awards Banquet in April, Jepson received a special introduction by Bill Ballister, his coach and mentor at the University of Oregon.
A member of the coaching staff since 1983, Jepson was appointed head coach on July 6, 1992, succeeding long-time head coach Karl Schier. During Jepson's coaching tenure at his alma mater, Penn State student-athletes have earned All-America honors 97 times. He has also mentored 17 individual national champions, including Mark Sohn, the first gymnast to win four-consecutive pommel horse national championships.
Jepson also championed the renovation efforts of the White Building, transforming the facility into the top collegiate training site in the country.
Jepson is the sixth head coach in the 72-year history of the Penn State men's gymnastics program and only the third in the last 64 years. Gene Wettstone coached from 1939-76 and was succeeded by Schier, one of his former athletes who served from 1977-91.
Jepson earned the prestigious honor on April of 1991, the year he was named Assistant Coach of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches for his outstanding work.
Seven months prior to that, he coached Mike Masucci to a gold medal in the all-around as head coach of the U.S. team that participated in the Cup of Puerto Rico international meet in San Juan. Masucci also captured gold medals in four events.
A native of Portland, Ore., Jepson lettered for three years at the University of Oregon and was an NCAA finalist on the rings his sophomore year. He transferred to Penn State in 1982, when the Ducks dropped their gymnastics program. In his one season as a Nittany Lion, Jepson was captain and won All-America honors on rings.
A Nissen-Award nominee as a senior, Jepson posted a perfect score of 10.0 on rings in a meet against a team from the Soviet Union in 1983 at Rec Hall.
Jepson joined the Lions' coaching staff as a graduate assistant in 1983 and worked in that capacity for two seasons. His first season as an assistant coach was 1985-86.
Jepson has been instrumental in guiding Penn State gymnastics to berths on the U.S. Senior National and Developmental squads, and in addition was a member of the 1997 and 2005 USA World Championships coaching staff.
A member of the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches, Jepson served as secretary and treasurer of the United States Elite Coaches Association.
In years past, Jepson has served men's program director at Woodward Gymnastics Camp in Woodward, Pa. In addition, Jepson directed the North team that won the gold medal at the 1993 United States Olympic Festival.
Jepson has also been heavily involved in national team training camps, helping to prepare teams for the 1999 World Championships in China and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. He was also selected as assistant coach for the 1999 Pan American Games team in Winnipeg, Canada. In 2006, Jepson served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the World Championships and in a meet versus France and Switzerland. In February of 2008, Jepson served as head coach of a six-man U.S. team in a dual meet versus Canada, leading the Americans to victory. Later that year, countless hours spent overseeing the training of world class gymnast and Penn State assistant coach Kevin Tan paid off for Jepson, as Tan realized a lifelong dream by earning a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. Jepson served as Tan's personal coach, accompanying him to Beijing, China for the 2008 Summer Games, where he captured a bronze medal in the team competition.
Jepson received his master's degree from Penn State in exercise sport and science, with an emphasis in biomechanics, in 1990. He and his wife, Sue, a Penn State alum, and their four children - Adam and Anna, who both currently attend Penn State, Emily, and Maggie - reside in Centre Hall.
With this foundation to build on, the staff prepares our athletes through the most up-to-date training techniques available. Every year it is our goal to be the strongest and most physically prepared team in the country. Our comprehensive strength and conditioning program has enabled our teams to continually meet this challenge. We also believe that to be on top, our athletes need to perform quality gymnastics and not do just enough to "get by." Therefore, we emphasize skills appropriate for the challenges of today's code of points and continually stress the importance of consistent, solid routine performance.
Academically speaking, our student athletes are provided with a wide variety of resources to ensure that they have every opportunity to experience success in the classroom in addition to the gym. The Morgan Academic Support Center is provided exclusively for Penn State student athletes and offers academic advising, a free tutorial service, priority scheduling, and a Freshman Enrichment Program designed to better enable the first-year student to handle the transitions and academic challenges facing the collegiate freshman athlete. At Penn State, we have built a reputation as a leader in the development of the student athlete and firmly believe that academic and athletic success go hand in hand, are attainable, and are expected.
With all of the various resources available to our student athletes to ensure success the only remaining key is their own commitment, sacrifice, and effort. It is this hard work...and lots of it...that has and will continue to enable them to achieve their academic and competitive dreams.

Follow-Up Postings:
|You said you potted them up...but then you said you don't "see" any roots - where are you looking for them? (You're not digging in there are you?!) LOL! The leaves opening are usually a sign they are beginning to root. Many say that once you have about 7 full sized leaves you can begin to water lightly. They're doing what they're supposed to, all good. Keep 'em warm & they will continue to do well! Great job!
|LOL... I know better than digging in there. I potted them up in the clear water bottles so I can see that there are no roots.
I'm ordering a heat mat so I can leave them inside by the kitchen's bay window. Temps are cooler now so I HOPE the sun through the glass window won't burn them. I want these to root soooo badly so I can stop saying I kill cuttings! Plus these are very precious cuttings.
|LEAVE THEM ALONE. As long as the stems are hard, they are fine. Do not water them until the leaves get about 6-8 inches long and then water around the outside edge of the pot to encourage roots to go out looking for water. They may drop the leaves and go dormant which does not mean they are dying, but that they are going dormant. If that happens cut the water to a few ounces around the outside edge every month until leaves show in March. You will often not see roots for 8-15 weeks especially at this time of the year. :) Bill
|Hi Bill,
I only move them nightly b/c it's cold outside but then warm during the day. I have not watered them at all since I potted them up in Sept. I think once my heat pad comes and I can leave them by the bay window inside for the winter then I won't touch them again until we move. But they look ok though right?? Thanks so much! Glad to see you're on here Bill! Miss you!
|bottom heat and no peaking.

text: Page Content 1History and Society Division Course Listings Undergraduate 1 2 AMS3605 - WATER IN AMERICA WATER IN AMERICA Please note begin and end dates - This course will take place during the second half of the semester AMS3605 Water in America 2-credit advanced level course Water has shaped the development of America. America is what it is and Americans are where they are as a result of decisions that have involved water resources. Students in this advanced level Liberal Arts elective course will examine water issues in America and how that resource has shaped our settlement, history, economy, environment, transportation and politics. We will discuss water shortages and water wars in the West; the development and impact of the Erie Canal; the clean-up of Boston Harbor and other dirty stories; and the Bureau of Land Management and how it dammed the West. We will use great non-fiction writing and compelling films to explore the difficult choices America has faced and to examine how water issues have impacted Americans. Last but not least, we will investigate the environmental and sustainability challenges we are facing today and tomorrow. Prerequisites: Three Intermediate liberal arts (HSS, CVA, LVA) 2.00 credits CVA2002 - AFR AMERICAN HISTORY AND FOODWAYS(HIS) AFR AMERICAN HISTORY AND FOODWAYS(HIS) CVA2002 African American History and Foodways (HIS) 4 credit intermediate liberal arts The course covers the major periods, movements, and events that have shaped African American history and foodways. These include: the African slave trade; antebellum period; the civil war and reconstruction; World War I and the great migration; Harlem Renaissance and Garveyism; Great Depression; Spanish Civil War and World War II; Civil Rights and Black Power movements; industrialization, the growth of the prison industrial complex, and the "war on drugs." The course will also include content on African American foodways from the African slave trade to the Black Power movement. Classes discuss the assigned reading with lively student participation. Out-of-class work includes readings, online exams, attending lectures, artistic presentations, and films, as well as independent research. Prerequisites, RHT I & II and (AH & HS) or AHS 4.00 credits CVA2008 - CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY (ANT) CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY (ANT) CVA2408 Cultural Anthropology (Intermediate Liberal Arts) Introduction to Cultural Anthropology is a three-credit intermediate History and Society course. The central focus of this course is the phenomenon of culture, that remarkable accomplishment that makes humans unique among all other species. We will use the concept of culture to investigate the question of what it means to be human. A major area of focus will be upon the ways cultural meanings are generated, shared, symbolized, ritualized, contested and altered in the face of different types of challenges. We will also study the relationship of cultural meaning to different economic, kinship and political systems. Throughout the course, as we study a variety of unfamiliar societies, we will continually refer back to our own societies with the goal of looking at our own ways of doing things with a new frame of mind. This frame of mind, or anthropological perspective, searches for the internal logics and constellations of values and beliefs that underpin all societies and subcultures. Central to this course is a succession of small fieldwork projects. This course will particularly strengthen your multicultural and rhetorical competencies Prerequisites: RHT and Foundation H&S and A&H This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Fall 4.00 credits CVA2009 - EAST ASIAN CULTURES (HIS) EAST ASIAN CULTURES (HIS) CVA2009 East Asian Cultures (Intermediate Liberal Arts) Welcome to Cultures and Values 2009, an intermediate level Liberal Arts course which will introduce you to the cultures of East Asia. This course builds on the themes and techniques in the H&S and A&H Foundation courses to analyze our subject using the materials and methodology of history pursued in an interdisciplinary manner. We will focus on the cultures of East Asia, China, Japan, and Korea; with thematic examples from ancient, medieval and modern periods. East Asia is integrated due to location and the influence that China had on the cultures of Japan and Korea. We will begin our study with the major ways of thinking in ancient China-Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, with some consideration of Legalism, and Militarism. The ethical structures, ideas, concepts and vocabulary in part one will inform and be assumed in our study of Japan and Korea. We will next study the uses of Chinese Ethics in Japan and Korea, Shinto in Japan, and Shamanism in Korea. Although these three cultures have elements in common, Japan and Korea developed in unique ways and in no way should be seen as pale imitations of Chinese culture. We begin our study analyzing written (Chinese) classical texts, which became classics throughout East Asia. These are elite cultural documents, but we will also consider their impact on popular culture. The fourth section of the course will consider East Asia as a cultural unit. We will interrogate the cultural constructions of identity and meaning in these cultures and the political and social contexts in which these were found. We will consider the impact of modernization and globalization, and the change and continuity within East Asian cultures. Some attention will be given to the cultural impact from and on the West. We approach this course through readings in philosophy, religion, anthropology, art, literature, film, and music. Prerequisites: RHT and Foundation H&S and A&H This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring or Summer 4.00 credits CVA2010 - GENDER STUDIES (GDR) GENDER STUDIES (GDR) CVA2010 Gender Studies 4 credit (Intermediate Liberal Arts) This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to gender studies. Designed as an intermediate course, Introduction to Gender Studies aims to identify and critically examine the interactive relationships among gender, cultural/social institutions, and individuals in contemporary American society. This implies two foci of attention. First, through readings and discussion, we will explore gender roles and resulting power inequities in contexts such as families, the music industry, conceptions of both race and sexuality, and novels. Equally important, we will analyze how the behaviors of individuals reflect, sustain and sometimes alter social conceptions of gender. In concert, these two emphases serve to underline the relationships among gender, culture, and individuals. Prerequisites: RHT I & II and Foundation (H&S and A&H) or AHS This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring, Summer or Fall 4.00 credits CVA2011 - INTRODUCTION TO WESTERN CULTURE(HIS) INTRODUCTION TO WESTERN CULTURE(HIS) CVA2411 Introduction to Western Culture 4 credit (Intermediate Liberal Arts) This cultural history course explores rational and non-rational ways of knowing in the Western tradition. We look at literature and art to focus upon four moments in the history of the West where these antithetical tendencies are conspicuous: Ancient Greece; the High Middle Ages; Europe during the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution; and the Early 20th Century. We read Greek tragedies by Aeschylus and Euripides, medieval romances such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and contemporary plays about the lives of Galileo and Luther. Essays by Freud and Jung frame our discussions. Prerequisites: RHT I & II and Foundation (H&S and A&H) or AHS This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring or Fall 4.00 credits CVA2015 - POLITICAL THOUGHT (POL) POLITICAL THOUGHT (POL) CVA2015 Political Thought (Intermediate Liberal Arts) What is politics, and what does it mean to say that we are political actors, individually and collectively? On what basis might we view politics as a positive and/or negative force in our lives? This course addresses these and other questions about the meaning and practice of politics through close readings of classic political theory works, such as those by Thomas Hobbes, Niccolo Machiavelli and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and readings from more contemporary approaches, such as anarchist political theory, feminist theory, and queer theory. The course will begin with some basic concerns, about the role and meaning of citizenship, political community, and government. Upon this basis, we will read and discuss topics such as inequality, political resistance, the role of violence in politics, and any other pertinent issues discern from the work. This is a reading intensive course, and it will also explore political themes that can be drawn out of popular culture, such as films and television shows. Prerequisites: RHT and Foundation H&S and A&H This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring 4.00 credits CVA2490 - FOOD AND THE AFRICAN AMER CANON FOOD AND THE AFRICAN AMER CANON This course will be delivered via WebEx. CVA2490 Food and the African American Canon 3 credit intermediate liberal arts This 3 credit history and foodways course discusses food and space in restaurants, dining cars, street venders and wherever food is made and sold (by whom), and eaten (by whom) at the center. The course will include readings in James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of a Colored Man, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Zora Hurston's Their Eyes Where Watching God, John Washington's The Chaneysville Incident, Paule Marshall's classic essay From The Poets in the Kitchen, and Richard Wright's Man of All Work. Readings on segregated restaurants come from James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son, and in No Name in the Street. A chapter on Ntzoake Shange's novel, Sassafrass, Cypress, and Indigo and her novel Liliane. Prerequisites: RHT and AHF or AHS Foundation 3.00 credits GDR3610 - WOMEN'S STUDIES WOMEN'S STUDIES GDR3610 Topics in Women's Studies (Advanced Liberal Arts) This course provides a forum to examine and discuss contemporary women's and girls' roles and positions. The course will address the following topics: first and second waves of feminism, sexuality, psycho-social influences on gender construction, paid work and structures of inequality, women and social protest and family configurations. At the beginning of the course, we will read some historic documents as background to the women's movement in the United States. Although the main focus will be on women and girls in the United States, we will also discuss women's positions in other countries as well. Because femininity and images of women are balanced, and often countered, by masculinity and images of men, we will spend time discussing men in relation to women. Integral to this course is recognition of how race, class, ethnicity and sexuality converge to influence how women negotiate their political, social and cultural roles. Finally, we will attempt to become "enlightened witnesses" to the social construction of femininity and masculinity, and use our understanding to notice stereotypical portrayals as well as new, liberating images of women and men. Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts Courses (CVA, LVA, HSS) This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring or Fall 4.00 credits HIS3608 - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN MALAYSIA SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN MALAYSIA HIS3608 Social Responsibility in Malaysia 4 credit advanced liberal arts (offshore elective) Study of, and opportunity for hands-on contributions to high quality social enterprises and corporate social responsibility programs in the world's most economically developed Muslim community. Malaysia is also a multi-ethnic society with communities of Chinese, Indian, and native peoples for which government, corporations, and social enterprises are developing strategies for social coherence. For over a hundred and fifty years, American management models have dominated the enterprises of the world. Now, as we enter the second decade of what some call the "post-American century," it is vital for Americans and everyone else to open themselves to lessons that can be learned from others. Malaysia's underappreciated economic success, as well as its large challenges in sustainability and social justice, make it a potential teacher for the rest of us. Prerequisites: 4.00 credits HIS3609 - COLD WAR AND ESPIONAGE LIT COLD WAR AND ESPIONAGE LIT HIS3609 Espionage, Subversion, and Terror: Spy Literature and the Cold War 4 credit Advanced Liberal Arts The 20th century was obsessed with spying, and since WWII it has become institutionalized and professionalized. The clandestine has always been an important part of war, politics and commerce, but during the 20th century it became an end in itself. Spy literature represents intrigue and the clandestine, espionage and subversion, as the human condition. It presents an amoral world characterized by voyeurism, role anxiety, disguise and alienation, and invites an identification with the spy out in the cold; it plays upon our sense of isolation in a bureaucratic world, our lack of control. The spy is us, in an enemy world, always already betrayed. In this class we will read espionage literature that explores these moral issues within the geopolitical and ideological contexts of the Cold War. Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts (HSS, LVA, CVA) 4.00 credits HIS3612 - DRUGS AND INTOXICANTS IN WRLD HIST DRUGS AND INTOXICANTS IN WRLD HIST HIS3612 Drugs and Intoxicants in World History 4 credit advanced liberal arts Course Description: This course will examine the role of drugs and intoxicants in World History; their use as spiritual and medicinal tools, as key devices in economic capitalist expansion, and eventually their role as a divisive political and economic issue in contemporary politics. The course begins by examining the importance of stimulants such as tea, sugar, coffee and opium to the expansion of free trade and global capitalism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The course analyzes the shifts to prohibition, particularly the suppression of the global drug trade as justification for the expansion of American empire, and the US-led "War on Drugs" and its relationship with the expansion of the global drug trade. We will also address contemporary issues regarding the war on drugs in Mexico and narco-terrorism in Afghanistan. We will use a variety of books, articles, documents, and films to understand this rich, complex, and often misunderstood history. Prerequisites: Three intermediate liberal Arts (HSS LVA CVA) 4.00 credits HIS3614 - WWI AT 100:HISTORY, LITERATURE AND FILM WWI AT 100:HISTORY, LITERATURE AND FILM HIS3614 World War One at 100 (1914-2014): History, Literature and Film 4-credit Advanced Liberal Arts "The Great War"; "a war to end all war"; "a war to make the world safe for democracy"; the beginning of "total war"... and then, "a peace to end all peace"!! Or, as others described it: "the great seminal catastrophe of [the 20th] century"; and "the first calamity of the twentieth century... from which all other calamities sprang." Today, 100 years from the outbreak of WWI, most students of history and politics trace directly, or consequentially, the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union, Fascism, Nazism and WW II, The Cold War, the beginning of the end of Imperialism, the rise of Asian, African and Middle Eastern independence and nationalist movements, modern Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Israel and Palestine, Islamic fundamentalism, the Arab Spring of 2011, and the present Syrian Civil War to World War One!! Wow! So... how to work to understand such a momentous event and use our understanding to know ourselves and our contemporary world better? We will lean about the origins and process of the war; we will read novels, memoirs and poetry of English, French and German soldiers who fought in the war; we will look at films from across the 20th century that explored the war and will read some modern literature that looks back at WWI to help explore contemporary personal, cultural and political issues. Finally, each student will choose a particular area of interest to explore and share with the class. Prerequisites: Three Intermediate liberal arts (HSS, CVA, LVA) 4.00 credits HIS3620 - RACE & ETHNICITY IN LATIN AMERICA RACE & ETHNICITY IN LATIN AMERICA HIS3620 RACE AND ETHNICITY IN LATIN AMERICA 4 credit (Advanced Liberal Arts) What did it mean to be "Black" or "Indian" or "White" in Latin America? What is mestizaje and indigenismo? What did it mean to be of mixed descent? What does these mean today? Is "race" a means to political empowerment, or the source of discrimination? This seminar explores these issues and ideas in the context of colonial and postcolonial Latin American history. In answering these questions, we will look at a variety of theoretical and disciplinary approaches to "race." Armed with the history of these changing ideas, we will then consider a variety of case studies from throughout Latin America. Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts Courses (CVA, LVA, HSS) 4.00 credits HIS3630 - C.I.A. IN ASIA C.I.A. IN ASIA HIS3630 C.I.A In Asia 4 credit advanced liberal arts We will examine the ways in which CIA actions affected the internal and external dynamics of various countries in west, central south, southeastern and east Asia, in order to explore the beneficial and detrimental impact of their operations in Asia during the Cold War. The class will explore how CIA actions during the Cold War shaped the current geo-political and economic dynamics of Asia, in particular; the political unrest in Iran, the lawlessness and violence and Afghanistan, and the debate of CIA complicity in the heroin trade. We will use a variety of books, articles, documents, and films to understand this complex, politically sensitive and volatile history. Prerequisites: 3 intermediate liberal arts (LVA, CVA, HSS) 4.00 credits HIS3674 - THE PERSONAL IS POLIT:GENDER IN US HIST THE PERSONAL IS POLIT:GENDER IN US HIST HIS3674 The Personal is Political: Gender in Modern US History (Advanced Liberal Arts) Activists in the women's movement made the personal political, bringing previously "private" issues such as sex, reproduction, birth control, and intimate relationships into the realm of public debates. This course focuses on the changing social and political roles of women and men in twentieth- and twenty-first century America. Using primary and secondary sources, films, and other texts, we will study "womanhood" and "manhood," femininity and masculinity, and the intersection of these identities with the categories of class, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, and sexuality. We will discuss people in straight and GLBTQ family arrangements, in the diverse, globalized workplace, in the formation of public policy, and in social movements. Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts Courses (CVA, LVA, HSS) This course is typically offered in the following semesters: Spring or Fall 4.00 credits HSS2000 - MAKING OF MODERN AMERICA (HIS) MAKING OF MODERN AMERICA (HIS) HSS2000 The Making of Modern America, 1865-1929 4 credit (Intermediate Liberal Arts) The decade of the 1920s witnessed the birth of much of that we consider "modern" in the United States. Students in this course will examine this decade closely, focusing on several key moments and developments: anti-immigrant hysteria and the Braintree, Massachusetts trial of Sacco and Vanzetti; the rise of queer communities; competing visions of Black Liberation and the art of the Harlem Renaissance; the rise of big business, the decline of small town America, and the mass appeal of the Ku Klux Klan; women and men and their roles in the new economies of sex and work. We will use historical sources, among them film and fiction, to explore the currents of the twenties and draw connections to the social and political debates of the contemporary U.S. Prerequisites: RHT I & II and Foundation (H&S and A&H) or AHS 4.00 credits HSS2003 - LATIN AMERICAN HIST (HIS) LATIN AMERICAN HIST (HIS) HSS2003 Latin American History (Intermediate Liberal Arts) This course will be an introduction to the main themes, actors, and ideas in Latin American history. The central focus will be on Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, with an attempt to develop a comparative understanding of the Latin America's diversity, as well as common patterns, from pre-Columbian times to the present. In other words, this course is not an exhaustive history of Latin America; rather, it intends to develop familiarity with key concepts, developments, and issues in the region's history. Prerequisites: RHT I & II and Foundation (H&S and A&H) or AHS This course is typically offered in the following semester: Fall 4.00 credits HSS2006 - SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY (HIS) SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY (HIS) HSS2406 South Asian History 4 credit Intermediate Liberal Arts This course is an introductory survey of the history of South Asia. Together we will explore the origins and encounters of this incredible and dynamic region that includes the present day nations of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. We will use a variety of methodological lenses to examine this past (environmental, social/cultural, political, etc….) and a wide array of sources (historical analysis, primary texts, literature, film, etc...). We will seek themes in order to draw larger connections, but we will also be careful to avoid generalizations and reductions of this widely variant region. We will explore the rise and fall of many empires, the imagination of many states, and the participation of individuals in crafting a life within those imaginings.
