Both statue groups were placed on the cheek blocks flanking the central East Front steps to the Capitol in the mid-19th century and remained there until the East Front of the Capitol was extended in the late 1950s. Luigi Persico's Discovery of America (placed 1844), intended to show the European advancement of civilization to the New World, depicted Columbus, clad as a conquistador, holding aloft a globe before a cowering scantily clad native girl. Horatio Greenough's Rescue group (placed 1853), with a similar theme, has an American frontiersman (widely interpreted at the time to be Daniel Boone) restraining a tomahawk wielding warrior from killing the settler's wife and child.
Prof. Genetin-Pilawa will discuss changing cultural and political values that led to the statue groups' removal as offensive to Native Americans and the key role played by Native Americans in that removal.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Preregistration is recommended.
The nationwide contest is open to all students in two categories: a junior division contest for students in grades 6-8 and a senior division contest for students in grades 9-12.
Three prizes will be awarded in each division:
"We are proud to offer talented students the opportunity to showcase their thoughtful perspectives about what it means to be an American citizen today," said Ronald A. Sarasin, President of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society. "We hope our contest will be a catalyst for an important national discussion about democracy, citizenship, voting rights, and our collective responsibilities as Americans."
The topic of the 2014/2015 school year contest is: Why is voting rights an important issue in American History? The Voting Rights Act of 1965 will be 50 years old in 2015. Why is voting so important to this nation, and why has the extension of voting rights been such an important and controversial issue in American history? Some things you might want to consider in your essay: 1) the relationship between voting and citizenship; 2) how, when, and why voting rights were extended to various groups, and the arguments for and against such decisions; 3) how voting rights at various times have been denied or restricted at state and local levels to some citizens; 4) and what threats remain today to a citizen's right to vote?

0Mar 4, '13 by KelRN215, BSN, RNPersonally, I view objectives to be outdated on resumes. Everyone knows you're applying to a job because you want a job. Experience belongs first if you have true RN experience. Also, the most recent experience should be listed first so your current position belongs on top.
The spacing was the biggest thing that jumped out at me, but thay may have been a formatting issue when you pasted it here. If not, double check that in the original document.

Central Asia Institute
|May 1996
|Legal status
|Promotes education
|Bozeman, Montana
|Region served
|Central & South Asia
|Greg Mortenson
Central Asia Institute (CAI) is an international non-profit organization, co-founded by Greg Mortenson and Jean Hoerni and based in Bozeman, Montana.
According to the organization's website, its mission is to "empower local communities of Central Asia through literacy and education, especially for girls, promote peace through education, and convey the importance of these activities globally." [1]
CAI was registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1996. Greg Mortenson, cofounder of CAI, began his work in Pakistan in 1993. The organization was established with funds from cofounder Jean Hoerni, a Swiss physicist and Silicon Valley microchip pioneer. The Institute's headquarters are located in Bozeman, Montana.[2][3]
Mortenson's extensive overseas experience began at an early age. He spent 15 years in Tanzania as a child and later served in the U.S. military. His first visit to Pakistan was during his expedition to climb K2, the world's second-highest mountain. It was on this expedition that Mortenson met the Balti people, who inspired his humanitarian efforts. Read more about Mortenson's biography.
For three years, from 1993-1996, Mortenson spent long periods of time in the Karakoram Mountain villages of Pakistan. His first project was a bridge over the Braldu River, which enabled the community and him to transport building materials to Korphe village, where he built his first school.
Then, in 1996, Hoerni made the first significant contribution to Mortenson's efforts, and CAI was set up as a non-profit organization in the United States. Mortenson was appointed as its director. Unfortunately, Hoerni died just a year later from leukemia.
CAI's first Board of Directors decided to focus the organization's efforts in the Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan in order to gain local knowledge and expertise on community-based projects in the area.
By the late 1990s, however, CAI had begun to expand into other remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In 2011, the organization began working in the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast, in eastern Tajikistan. CAI also completed a few projects in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan in the 1990s.
Throughout its history, CAI has been a pioneer, paving the way for girls' education throughout the region. "Mortenson believes, as do many experts, that providing education for girls directly helps to lower infant mortality and bring down birth rates—which in turn reduces the ignorance and poverty that help fuel religious extremism."[4]
CAI's Master Project List details all CAI-supported projects.[5]
The story of the founding of CAI is outlined in the 2006 New York Times best-selling book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.[6][7]
CAI's projects are categorized into seven types of programs. Each program helps CAI carry out its mission and promote peace through education.
School building, maintenance, equipment, and supplies: Projects in this category are related to the direct costs of building new schools, updating and/or maintaining existing schools, and providing necessary materials for the schools. This often includes ongoing support for uniforms, school equipment, and individual school supplies for students. Each of these projects includes local people throughout each step.
Scholarships: CAI provides scholarships for students in primary, secondary, and advanced education. These scholarships help students with the financial cost of school, encouraging them to continue their education when it would otherwise be impossible.
Teacher support: CAI provides funding for teachers' training and teacher salaries in some areas, depending on need. Teacher salaries are paid by the government in Afghanistan.
Public health: CAI provides funds for maternal healthcare, nutrition and hygiene awareness, disaster relief projects, and the installation of clean water systems. These efforts have included education for the victims of the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake. (The quake killed 74,000 people, including 18,000 students, and displaced 2.8 million refugees. CAI has rebuilt or re-established 16 schools destroyed in the earthquake.)
Women's literacy & vocational centers: CAI supports literacy centers, where women of all ages get free lessons to promote basic literacy. These centers also teach female students about hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, and money management. CAI also supports vocational centers, which train women on vocational skills, as well as provide equipment and materials.
Community support: CAI will occasionally fund small community projects when the community requests them. These projects include building bridges, establishing museums, providing porter training, among others.
Global outreach: CAI promotes the importance of education and literacy via the website as well as other social media venues. The organization also publishes an annual magazine, Journey of Hope, about its overseas programs and projects. CAI created the Pennies for Peace curriculum to teach students about the importance of service learning.[8]
Since its inception in 1996, CAI has supported a total of 399 projects. Today, 303 are currently receiving support, and the other 96 have either been completed, suspended, or are now operating independently of CAI.
Due to the nature of the areas where CAI works, the project information is continuously updated. The following list of projects is current as of November 2013.

Pennies for Peace[edit]
Pennies for Peace
|Parent organization
|Central Asia Institute
|Children's service-learning program of 501(C) 3 nonprofit Central Asia Institute
|Started by students at Westside Elementary School, River Falls, Wisconsin USA who collected 62,340 pennies to help build a school in Pakistan - in 1994
CAI also sponsors the Pennies for Peace program, where schoolchildren raise pennies to help fund CAI's activities.[10][11] The program focuses on raising cross-cultural awareness through education to promote peace.[12]
Pennies for Peace was originally founded in 1995 as "Pennies for Pakistan". The founders were two elementary school teachers, Susy Eisele and Sandy Heikkila, of the Westside Elementary School of River Falls, Wisconsin, USA. They had been inspired by a talk given by Greg Mortenson on the harsh conditions he witnessed for children in Korphe, Pakistan. The original effort raised $620 in pennies which helped pay for materials to build a school in Korphe. The program was awarded the 1997 Richard Lewandowski Memorial Award for Humanitarian Activities. This award was presented to Westside Elementary by the Wisconsin Education Association Council [13]
Pennies for Peace in its current form was launched by CAI executive director Greg Mortenson to help broaden the horizons of youth in the developed world, and teach them about their capacities to be philanthropists by raising funds to cover the soft costs of building schools (paper, pencils, books, uniforms, desks, etc.) in remote, northern Pakistan and Afghanistan.[14] Mortenson is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller, Three Cups of Tea.[6][15][16]
The idea behind the Pennies for Peace program is that in the developed world, "a penny is pretty much worthless, but in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan a penny can buy a lot. With one single penny, schools can buy a student a pencil. With a pencil, the student can become literate and educated."[17] Mortenson believes one can promote peace through education, especially the education of girls, because: "If you educate a boy, you educate an individual; if you educate a girl, you educate a community."[18]
As of November 2009, Pennies for Peace had raised over thirty million pennies since its inception in 1994.[19] Pennies for Peace is registered in over 4,800 schools in USA and about twenty countries internationally.[20]
Criticism and responses[edit]
On April 17, 2011, CBS' 60 Minutes aired an investigative story on CAI and Mortenson. The story alleged that CAI spent more money on 'domestic outreach' (book tours, speaking, travel) than it did on supporting schools overseas, and that Mortenson's accomplishments, though substantial, may have been greatly exaggerated.[21] CBS's story included an interview with Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy; Borochoff alleges that CAI spent $1.7 million in a recent year on "book related expenses" for books such as Three Cups of Tea. He further stated that CAI does not receive any proceeds from the sales of the book but does receive a small income from Mortenson's speaking engagements.[22] 60 Minutes asked Mortenson for an interview in light of the allegations; he did not respond to their requests. In a statement published by Bozeman Chronicle, however, Mortenson said, "I stand by the information conveyed in my book, and by the value of CAI's work in empowering local communities to build and operate schools that have educated more than 60,000 students."[23] Also included in the 60 Minutes report, best-selling author Jon Krakauer described the suspicious financial machinations within the CAI. In 2002, the treasurer of the CAI had quit along with other board members. The treasurer told Krakauer to stop donating, claiming that the accounting was inadequate. Others have resigned from the charity with similar complaints.[24] Krakauer published the e-book Three Cups of Deceit - How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way, a critical look at Mortenson and CAI, the day after the broadcast.[25]
The American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP), a charity watchdog that rates charities on an A+ to F scale, criticizes Central Asia Institute in its article, "Nobel Prize Nominee's Charity Wins No Award for Accountability," published in 2010.[26] AIP alleges that CAI lacks accountability and questions whether appropriate segregation exists between the charity's financial activities and the personal business interests of the charity's executive director, Greg Mortenson. AIP further alleges that Mortenson's books and speaking schedules are advertised prominently on Central Asia Institute's web site, and the charity pays significant expenses related to these activities but does not report receiving any revenue from them on its tax form. AIP states that when it contacted CAI, the charity would not answer its questions about financial activities, internal controls, or board oversight of related-party interests between the organization and Mortenson. As of the end of March, 2011, AIP reports that it continues to assign Central Asia Institute a "?" rating.[27]
In opposition to AIP's claims, another charity "watchdog" group, the Charity Navigator, gave Central Asia Institute a four-star rating with high scores on both capacity and efficiency.[28] Subsequent to the airing of the 60 Minutes segment, Charity Navigator posted a "Donor Advisory" with links to both the CBS broadcast and responses to the allegations from Mortenson and the CAI board.[29]
On April 19, 2011, the Attorney General of Montana announced an inquiry into CAI's finances.[30] In April 2012, after a year long investigation by the Montana attorney general, Mortenson agreed to repay $1 million to the CAI.[31] The Montana inquiry had found that he had misspent over $6 million of the organization's money, although no criminality was found. Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock said: "Mr Mortenson may not have intentionally deceived the board or his employees, but his disregard for and attitude about basic record-keeping and accounting for his activities essentially had the same effect."[32] In addition, under the terms of the settlement agreement, Mortensen was required to resign as executive director and could no longer serve as a voting member of CAI's board.[33] However, he was allowed to remain with CAI as an employee.[34] The settlement was criticized by CharityWatch, an advocacy group, for permitting the existing three-member board, including Mortensen, to select the new board.[35]
Charity Navigator's president, Ken Berger, stated in response to the reports on CAI's issues that his organization was restructuring the way it assesses charities. The new system will rate how each charity attains its stated objectives. Under the new system, said Berger, CAI merits zero stars. Charity Navigator has placed a red "donor warning" label on its website for CAI with links to recent new reports.[36]
In an April 2011 Outside magazine interview, Greg Mortenson insists that Krakauer contacted him only once and inaccurately claimed that he had been trying to get a hold of the leader of CAI for some time. Mortenson states that although he arranged to meet with Krakauer, the interview was eventually cancelled "once I realized how deep and dirty this whole thing was". He describes a similar incident with 60 Minutes, claiming that he never received any of the emails that Steve Kroft said he sent and that representatives from the news show tried to contact him at inopportune times, such as calling his house when he wasn't there or "rush[ing]" him at a book signing.[37]
Mortenson wrote a statement in response to the allegations made against him that was published in the Bozeman Chronicle: "I stand by the information conveyed in my book, and by the value of CAI's work in empowering local communities to build and operate schools that have educated more than 60,000 students." Mortenson further stated, "The time about our final days on K2 and ongoing journey to Korphe village and Skardu is a compressed version of events that took place in the fall of 1993..."[38]
Scott Darsney, a respected mountaineer and friend of Greg Mortenson, wrote an email subsequently turned into an exclusive article for Outside magazine's online version as a response to the allegations against Mortenson.[39] Darsney questioned the accuracy and fairness of both the Krakauer piece and the 60 Minutes report. As a result of an interview for the piece Three Cups of Deceit, Krakauer quotes Darsney as stating when their team took on K2 in 1993, "Mortenson 'didn't even know Korphe existed".[40] The Outside article includes a quote from Darsney telling another writer that although he did make the statement to Krakauer, he now believes that during the period the climbing team lost track of him, Mortenson may have ended up in that village. According to Darsney, after the climbing team reconvened, Mortenson told him that he "...ended up in a village on the wrong side of the Braldu River. It's certainly plausible that this was Korphe." As well, Darsney disputes he corroborated Krakauer's claims that Mortenson fabricated his Himalayan expeditions, saying that such misrepresentations of their conversations are either based on misquotes or misunderstanding.[39]
As a result of his work with CAI, co-founder Greg Mortenson received the Sitara-e-Pakistan (Star of Pakistan), Pakistan's third-highest civilian award in 2009.[41]

Green Energy CEO Q&A: Broadwind Energy
In 2010, when the U.S. wind industry bottomed out, China finally surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest wind power market. If there's been a slight turnaround in the U.S., it's off the trough. Why should any investor believe the U.S. wind market will recover? Is China the only market where the use of wind energy is growing, and are you targeting that opportunity?
There is a place for wind power in the U.S., and most people agree, but we don't have the policies in place. We need energy policy in this country, and that's not just for wind. That's one role the government needs to play. Setting long-term energy policy is the number one challenge right now for the renewable space.
As far China, our focus right now is to diversify our customer base to the industrial sector, not outside of North America. We are growing our industrial base as mining companies and oil and gas companies are growing globally. As they grow internationally we are supplying them and growing right along with them.
For a company that was just a year ago a pure-play wind company focused on the green energy opportunity, won't it upset some "green" investors that you are banking our future on business from mining and oil and gas companies?I think first and foremost we are an energy company. We do have some industrial customers and we are going to offer products and solutions to industries that demand products. Precision gearing is in demand in oil and gas and we will take advantage of that opportunity. I think investors would like to see more diversification in Broadwind. We can't be too reliant on government policy to drive the wind energy industry. There's a lot of focus on offshore wind opportunity, even if the terrestrial wind market has slowed. Is this a major opportunity for the U.S. wind market to grow? There's a lot of talk about offshore, but other than Cape Wind, I don't see lots of projects moving through the permitting process, and that could take a long time. Projects on shore remain fairly challenged by competition with fossil fuels and offshore wind could be two to three times the cost of terrestrial wind projects. Is the low price of natural gas the biggest challenge wind energy faces? That is one of the biggest challenges the industry faces. But look at the recent article in The New York Times over the weekend, questioning if people understand the cost of natural gas extraction, and how much gas is actually locked up in the shale play. That debate will continue, but fairly low natural gas prices will be challenging. -- Written by Eric Rosenbaum from New York.

Working long hours to buy gifts for everyone...
7Dec 1, '12 by brian, ADN AdminMy list is getting smaller how about yours? Do you give out a lot of gifts during the holidays? How many family, friends, or coworkers do you gift to??
Click Like if you enjoyed it. Please share this with friends and post your comments below! Want more nursing cartoons?
4Dec 2, '12 by BelgianRNI used to do this for years, but somehow felt unrewarding as some members in my family can be really ungrateful. But last year I decided to work Christmas, escape from my extensive family (the easy part as they live abroad) and spent my entire christmas bonus on myself and a few selected people. And you know what I loved it, doing it again this year!
1Dec 2, '12 by imintroubleWe have downsized considerably. It's enough that my extended family, about 20 of us, can manage to get together for a couple of days. It's usually a week or two before Christmas. We go shopping en masse. Go to dinner en masse. Concregate at one persons house en masse. I love the noise, the laughter, the chaos of dogs (yes they are invited too) and children running through a 1,500 sq ft house.
The little ones get gifts. The middle generation gets small gifts. Those of us above 50 get the gift of family in a busy world that does not allow us to get together often.
It's two weeks from now and I absolutely can't wait.
4Dec 2, '12 by somenurseOH i USED TO, have huge list, ohmidawg, it was getting crazy! And the size of the gifts, too, was increasing, year by year.
both my and my sweetie both have huge families, and we TRIED a gift-exchange, the year before, but, see,
most of the relatives and inlaws have kids,
so, the parents who had 4 kids, still had to come up with 6 gifts, see, (cuz the kids names were all put into the hat, too, so the kids all had to give a gift, too)
while the single person, only had to cough up money for one gift.
it was kinda lopsided, imo.
A few years ago, i sat everyone down, and announced, "I can not financially afford to give gifts this year. I love you, i love the holidays, but, i can't be making payments til April to prove my love to you. I also can't accept gifts FROM you, since i would feel terrible, being unable to reciprocate, so this year, i am not doing gifts, period. I still plan to throw my annual "Lasagne Party", and still hope everyone comes to it,
but, THAT will be all i am spending money on. I am so sorry, but, we are broke. This doesn't mean i love you any less, at all."
(i still buy gifts for my sweetie, and my very very best friends, but, that is it. and even those gifts, have been turned way way down, from tons of gifts, to just one gift, and 2 or 3 gifts for my adult kids)
some were relieved, cuz they were like me.
some were upset, cuz they are really really into shopping, gifts, etc, said "it wont' really be christmas without gift sharing." I pointed out, that THEY could all still shop for each other, just scratch ME off the list.
one or two, didn't go along with it, not that first year. but, they all 'get it' now.
I still bake and pass plates of treats to relatives and outer-circle pals, neighbors, etc, but, that's all, just baked goods. Takes me one (1) afternoon to do the baking, (less time than shopping) and it's a tradition, we make same exact cookies every year for decades, and play same holiday movie while we do. We always decorate up the dollar-store baskets, or red&green plates, trim them with candy canes or bows, trim the containers up very nicely, looks so so pretty when we are done.
so, that's what i did. AHhhhh, so so much nicer, this removed 85% of the stress outa the holiday. NOW i can focus on what i really want to focus on this time of year-------enjoying family, finding ways to show love, being together and having FUN, enjoying the scenes of the season and our own family traditions that we've always done, making memories, just being together, and strengthening the bonds we have. To ME, that is what the season is all about,
not shopping.
but, i'm an atheist, so maybe that's why the $hopping was easier to let go of, who knows. But i love most of the traditions that we do year after year, the family times, the Festivus for the Rest of Us, the partying, the merry-making, the memories, the whole thing, love it. I am the one in my huge family,
that throws a big open house holiday party in my home, for all relatives and pals, to come and party together. If i didn't throw it, some relatives wouldn't even see each other all year long! People travel pretty far to get to this party, which is never right on Dec 25th,
but instead, some other weekend, so more ppl CAN get to it.
oh yeah, i love holidays!!
just can't afford to go into hock over it anymore, but, still kept the parts i DO like.
PS----anyone who feels it is hypocritical for an atheist to celebrate the winter holiday, feel free to private msg me, and i'll explain the origins of the holiday to you, and what i am actually celebrating. Peace out!Last edit by somenurse on Dec 2, '12
2Dec 2, '12 by joanna73 GuideChristmas is just another day for many of us. Unless I'm on a beach, I don't care. Aside from some Christmas cards, I don't buy gifts, and I don't receive any, which is perfectly fine. Christmas is for kids. I refuse to buy into the hype, and I haven't for 20 years. I stay away from all the crowds, and it's such a relief. Christmas is such a stressful time for most people, and for what? It's ONE day.
5Dec 2, '12 by MBARNBSN GuideYears ago, when I was younger and I made just-above-poverty-level wages, I purchased gifts for everyone in my immediate extended family and my spouse's immediate extended family. I spent what I thought would be 1/2 of my pay check at the time. However, I miscalculated and did not get paid what I thought I would get paid... Therefore, I could not pay bills for the month of December. Sadly, that was not worse part..... The worse part is that NO ONE appreciated my financial sacrifice/stupidity!!!
The kids (not mine, but my relatives) wanted other stuff and did not care about my gifts. The Adults were just as bad.... Not only could they care less as to what I purchased, but they made it clear to everyone else that they thought my gifts were cheap. The gifts I purchased were not cheap to me given my terrible paychecks at the time. However, the relatives I purchased the gifts for made way more money than me and had a different perspective regarding what was and what was not cheap. So, from that Holiday on.... even though I have gotten paid better as the years have gone by (and get paid more then all of them now), I only purchase gifts for my immediate family..... Everyone else gets Christmas cards.
I am sure many of them talk about me behind my back and think that I am cheap given that I can afford to purchase them all nice gifts, but I do not care. I refuse to make the financial sacrifice of saving for ungrateful people.
You see, I learned my lesson from that Holiday.... Not only do I no longer go broke for the Holidays, I pay cash for everything I purchase based upon the cash I save throughout the year. If I do not have the money, I do not make the purchase. My immediate family always has a Christmas that Rocks! Not only do they get gifts that other kids and adults dream of for Christmas, they absolutely appreciate every last thing I do for them to include the baked treats and family traditions (the non-materialistic stuff) I started years ago.
When I and my immediate family were working-class (just-above-poverty-line), the non-materialistic traditions made our Christmas's special because that is all we had.... Now that we have more, it is still the non-materialistic traditions that my immediate family finds special and will beg me to do for them every year.Last edit by MBARNBSN on Dec 2, '12
0Dec 3, '12 by SCSTxRNMy kids get two presents a piece, usually plus a little money. I don't give big gifts for Christmas... we try to keep it fairly even. Birthdays are when the good stuff happens, because you don't have to pay for everyone all at once.
For extended family, I give food, and items that I make (sometimes jewelry, sometimes a hat or scarf, sometimes photo items). My husband's family draws names with a $20 limit. With 4 kids, that was $120... more than I had been spending on gifts for everyone, so we do not participate.
A very cool idea that I saw from Mary Hunt is a 'virtual' gift exchange. Everyone draws names, then you choose gifts for the person you drew with no thought of money. Pictures are then presented in whatever way the giver finds appropriate. Her explanation was very long and totally awesome.. mine probably reads as a little lame.
3Dec 3, '12 by That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-BOnly thing Im working extra for is a silly circle with a rock on it. Talk about gouging.....
1Dec 3, '12 by country momMade me think of my dearly departed Granny- she had very, very little money- but she would always make us something on her sewing machine- the best part is that for a graduation gift, she made me a simple block quilt- and in those blocks are bits of all the jammies, teddy bears, pillows, etc that she made throughout the years. I love that quilt, the blocks are little pieces of my childhood.

Birdsfoot Trefoil
Birdsfoot trefoil is a deep-rooted perennial forage legume that is especially well suited to the moderate to somewhat poorly drained soils of northern and western Pennsylvania. Although birdsfoot trefoil is not as productive as alfalfa on good alfalfa soils, its yields have exceeded those of alfalfa on wetter soils. It normally outlives red clover by several years. Trefoil also is bloat free; in fact, no case of bloat has ever been recorded in animals grazing on this legume.
Birdsfoot trefoil varieties are classified by growth habit into two types: Empire and European. Empire birdsfoot trefoils are better adapted for grazing since they have fine stems and a prostrate growth habit. European birdsfoot trefoils are better adapted for hay production since they have a more erect growth habit.

Don't you think so?
sometimes it's fun to flirt gratuitously. just for the joy of it and not with the intention of securing his affections.
