Our History
The School of Humanities and Sciences, formed in 1948, is the youngest of Stanford's seven schools, although many of its departments date to the university's founding in 1891.
Stanford's first president, David Starr Jordan, initially organized Stanford into departments. But by 1916, this system had become too rigid. In 1922, the School of Biology was established, followed by the schools of Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Humanities. In 1948, they were combined to form the School of Humanities and Sciences.
This timeline highlights the history of H&S, both before and after it became a school. Entries and images are taken from the book A Chronology of Stanford University and its Founders and the Stanford Historical Photograph Collection.
1891 Stanford University opens as a coeducational institution. Among its founding departments are Chemistry, Drawing, English Language and Literature, Germanic Languages, Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy (Ethics), Physics, Political Science, Psychology, and Romance Languages.
1892 Hopkins Marine Station is established and becomes the first marine laboratory on the Pacific Coast and the second such facility in the United States.
1899 Women enter the university in growing numbers. Concerned that the institution named for her son would become largely a girls' school, Jane Stanford amends the Founding Grant to limit enrollment to 500 females, or 40 percent of the student body. The cap of 500 is reached in 1903. By 1932, women make up only 14 percent of the student body and the Board of Trustees return to the ratio that existed in 1899. President Wilbur states, "For over 30 years the most outstanding handicap in the operation of Stanford University has been the limitation on women to 500." In 1973, the ratio is eliminated altogether.
1907 Professors Payson Treat and Yamato Ichihashi visit China. Afterward, Stanford becomes the first U.S. university to offer courses in Far Eastern studies.
1919 Future Nobel laureate John Steinbeck earns a C in freshman English. Later, he says that his Stanford career (1919-25—he dropped out twice) was a waste except for his English professors Edith Mirrielees and Margery Bailey.
1920 History Professor Yamato Ichihashi, one of the first scholars of Japanese descent to teach in the United States, is appointed to Stanford's first endowed professorship. Ichihashi raised funds in Japan for the chair in Japanese History and Civilization. During World War II, Ichihashi and his wife Kei are sent to internment camps with 34 Japanese-American Stanford students.
1937 Physicists and brothers Sigurd and Russell Varian arrive on campus. Working with William W. Hansen, the scientists develop the klystron tube, which paves the way for the airborne radar that will crush Hitler's Luftwaffe during World War II. The tube facilitates the development of commercial air navigation, satellite communication, and high-energy particle accelerators.
1946 Novelist Wallace Stegner establishes the Stanford Writing Program. Alumni now include Edward Abbey, Raymond Carver, Harriet Doerr, Robert Haas, Ken Kesey, Philip Levine, Tillie Olsen, ZZ Packer, and Scott Turow.
1948 The schools of Biological Sciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences merge to form the School of Humanities and Sciences.
1952 Physics Professor Felix Bloch becomes Stanford's first Nobel laureate.
1957 George Forsythe joins the Department of Mathematics as Stanford's first faculty member specializing in computing. In 1961, he forms a computer science division, which in 1965 is spun off as a separate department, one of the first in the nation.
1958 Stanford in Germany, the university's first overseas campus, opens on an estate near Stuttgart. In a harbinger of coed living, 33 men and 30 women, chosen from 197 applicants, eat meals together but live in separate buildings. Friedrich "Willi" Strothmann and Robert Walker, professors respectively of German and political science, conceived the program.
1964 Martin Luther King, Jr., calls for support during a speech at Memorial Auditorium: "In the Mississippi power structure, justice has no meaning.… Civil rights issues cannot be resolved from within the state; help must come from the outside." He speaks on campus again in 1967, a year before he is assassinated.
1969 Faculty in sociology, biology, psychology, and medicine join forces to create the Program in Human Biology, one of Stanford's most popular majors.
African and Afro-American Studies is launched as the first interdisciplinary major of its kind at a major private U.S. university.
1971 Psychology Professor Philip Zimbardo conducts the "Prison Experiment," with students playing the roles of prisoners and guards in a makeshift jail on campus. After five days the experiment is suspended for being too harshly realistic.
1973 Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve in the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains is established.
1974 The Center for Research on Women (CROW) is founded. In 1986, it changes its name to the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Today, the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research, as it is now called, is regarded as one of the nation's most distinguished centers in its field.
1975 Music Professor John Chowning cofounds the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). In 1967, Chowning discovered an algorithm to produce realistic music using digital synthesizers. In 1973, Stanford licensed the Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesis patent to Yamaha. The university earns $23 million in royalties by the time the patent expires in 1994.
1978 Physics graduate student Sally Ride becomes one of the first women named to NASA's astronaut corps. Ride applied after reading an ad in the Stanford Daily. In 1983, she becomes America's first woman in space.
1987 Trustees launch a five-year, $1.1 billion Centennial Campaign, the largest fundraising effort ever in higher education. The campaign raises funds for 39 endowed professorships in H&S.
1990 The Human Genome Project is established by Stanford researchers from the biological sciences, computer sciences and the School of Medicine, collaborating in an international effort to decipher the genetic code of humans.
1991 The university observes its 100th anniversary with four days of festivities, culminating in a ceremony that re-creates opening day in 1891.
1996 Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, a new interdisciplinary program, is launched.
1998 Stanford's seven Nobel physicists gather on October 13 to celebrate the life and work of Professor Emeritus Arthur Schawlow. That morning, Robert Laughlin learned that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the fourth in four years for Stanford physicists.
2001 The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's $400 million gift to Stanford is the largest in the university's history. Three-quarters of the gift is allocated to H&S and $100 million goes to the Campaign for Undergraduate Education.
2003 The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., selects the Department of Psychology to kick off its Great Schools seminar series, featuring the research of top institutes worldwide. In 1964, the American Council on Education named the department number one in the nation, a ranking sustained today.
2004 Marine Biology Professor William Gilly leads a group of researchers on a boat expedition retracing the 1940 voyage of John Steinbeck and Ed "Doc" Ricketts to study environmental changes in the Sea of Cortez.
2006 President John Hennessy launches The Stanford Challenge campaign to raise $4.3 billion, the largest amount in the university's history.
2008 Leslie Hume, MA '71, PhD '79, is elected president of the Board of Trustees, the first woman to hold the post since Jane Stanford.
Chemistry Professor Paul Wender reports in the journal Science that new agents can be tailored to flush HIV into the open, where the immune system and antiretroviral therapies can destroy it.
2009 The Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, one of the largest sound archives in the United States, celebrates its 50th anniversary.

At the Dec. 5 home dedication that included the affiliate's 100th home, Lee President Dr. Paul Conn announced a new partnership that will allow Habitat house recipients the chance for one member of their household to take a course at the university for free. Since then, the staffs of both organizations have been working to see the new program reach fruition.
One member of each Habitat household will be able to take a college course for free once the family completes the entire process of becoming Habitat homeowners.
Matt Carlson, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland, said Lee University was the lead sponsor of the 100th house and that he was able to discuss the organization's mission of "creating new opportunities" and "breaking the cycle of poverty" for families with members of the administration during its construction. He said that, by the time it was ready to be dedicated, the university had decided to offer Habitat homeowners the chance to take courses that will allow them to learn new skills in the classroom.
"We're very blessed that they decided to help in that way," Carlson said. "We're excited that families will have that opportunity."
Dr. Mike Hayes, vice president for student development at Lee, echoed Carlson's enthusiasm for Habitat homeowners and their families getting the chance to take college courses they might not normally be able to afford.
"Habitat has been a wonderful partner with us for many years," Hayes said. "We felt that this was a good way for us to help them help their families to move further along educationally. Our thinking was that it perhaps would be a parent who wanted to learn how to manage their finances better or perhaps even a student who would want to dual enroll."
The homeowner or member of the same household who decides to take a course at Lee will have a time frame for enrolling in the course.
"We're in the process of working that out with the Habitat team," Hayes said. "It will be a matter of — I'm sure — a few years."
Recipients will be able to take either undergraduate or graduate-level courses based upon each student's previous education experience.
When recipients are ready to take their individual courses, they will meet with Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland's Family services manager, NaCole Harris, who will help them decide which courses to take and walk them through the university's registration process. Hayes said Lee University and Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland will continue to work together to streamline the college admissions process.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for the families to take the course," Hayes said. "Many of these families haven't even ever been able to dream about higher education."
Homeowners whose homes were dedicated on Dec. 5 are already able to plan which courses they want to take. Carlson said it has not been decided whether or not owners of previously dedicated homes will be eligible for the program.
While they still have to work through the registration process, Carlson said there are some individuals living in the new Habitat homes who are interested in taking their courses as soon as January, when Lee University's Spring 2013 semester begins.
Carlson said a father from one of the families at the most recent home dedication said he was very eager to take a college course because attending college was something he had never been able to do before.
"For him, this was a dream come true," Carlson said. "We hope it will be for many others, too."
He also said a college partnering with Habitat for Humanity to provide free college courses may be an entirely new idea.
"I honestly don't know if this has been done before," Carlson said. "This may be the first or one of only a few in the country."
He expressed hope similar partnerships might also occur between local Habitat affiliates and universities elsewhere.
Nakia Fowler, senior media relations specialist at Habitat for Humanity International, the parent organization of Cleveland's local affiliate, said she was "not aware of" any other university providing free college tuition to Habitat homeowners.

I recently heard the NPR segment from August 4th about the plant where Rosie the Riveter actually riveted, along with thousands of other women who built B-24 bombers during WWII. The segment less discussed the time in history but rather the need to preserve what remains. It was a hopeful plea to help raise awareness of the funds needed for the Yankee Air Museum, which suffered an arsenal setback destroying portions of their previous collection. Obtaining the factory's hangar doors would allow the Yankee Air Museum to house their planes and exhibits in the 180,000 square feet they are trying to acquire. The museum's annual budget is unfortunately the barricade blocking the way.
The non-profit Yankee Air Museum has an annual budget of $2 million. However, the cost to restore the new facility will be $8 million. With a generous donation of $2 million form GM, the Yankee Air Museum is still $3.5 million shy of being able to salvage the plant where Rosie riveted before a planned demolition.
There is a great need to rescue and restore the relics of a time when women were first propagandized to join the labor market for the sake of scholarship in Women's and Gender Studies, Economic history and the war effort, Aerospace manufacturing history, and Business law regarding Labor and Unions, at the minimum. I would like to see this story have a happy ending and think publicity is the key to getting the word out of the importance of such special collections and historic artifacts. This plant was unionized and racially integrated "where men and women both worked in manufacturing jobs doing equal pay for equal work in the 1940's, when that was absolutely not the norm in American industry" (NPR–Museum tries to save the plant where Rosie riveted). With such historical significance, I don't understand why this plant is not yet registered as a historical landmark. It is possible that could be part of the solution to prevent demolition if the museum is not able to raise the total funds in time.
Furthermore, for local interest in the subject matter, the Special
Collections at the Oviatt Library at CSUN holds an extensive collection of
labor documents and historical artifacts on propaganda in wartime and civil
rights in the U.S. Many of these documents have yet to be exhibited however some are part of the upcoming exhibit "In Protest" set to open September 17, 2013 – July 26, 2014. This exhibit would be perfect for all disciplines in the fields of social sciences and humanities specifically, but not limited to Political Science, Sociology, Women's and Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Business Law. There are more documents to see aside from the exhibit which can be arranged at the Oviatt Library.
Exhibits such as "In Protest" in Special Collections at the Oviatt Library at CSUN and the original plant that the Yankee Air Museum is desperately trying to salvage are the essential threads of the human experience in seeking an autonomous life and an independent community, reminding us of the price paid so that we can be ever closer to those liberties.

Watch Discipline Determines Destiny video.
Scripture:1 Corinthians 9:23-27
I. Introduction: As followers of Jesus Christ, it's only right that you and I want to fulfill His purpose for our lives. But without discipline, the distractions of life interfere with our God-given destiny. Like athletes in training, we must exercise self-control and restraint—living with a specific goal in mind (1 Cor. 9:23-27). Simply wanting to fulfill God's will for our lives is not enough. It is discipline, not just desire, which determines your destiny and mine.
II. Clarifying Terms
III. Why is Self-Discipline Necessary?
IV. What can we expect when we fail to practice self-control? And undisciplined life causes us to . . .
V. What is required for a disciplined life?
VI. Rewards of Discipline
VII. How to Begin a Life of Discipline
VIII. Conclusion
The Lord designed you for a special purpose, one that will satisfy you like no other. Don't allow your natural desires to hinder your ability to reach His purpose for you. The sacrifices of a well-disciplined life are nothing in comparison to the rewards of fulfilling your God-given destiny. It's a prize well worth the training.

Bob Kuzma of Joliet marked his childhood with trips downtown to the Joliet Public Library for books about the Civil War.
This led to a thirst for knowledge regarding Will County's involvement and a passion for George Woodruff's book, "The Patriotism of Will County," written 15 years after the war ended.
Kuzma now is on a one-man mission to bring back to Joliet the flag once belonging to the 100th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment. To help raise the $40,000 required for its restoration, the Joliet Area Historical Museum is hosting a two-day event, "Civil War Sesquicentennial at the Museum," on July 6 and 7.
"I know there are many good causes out there and some of them may seem much more immediate and important than preserving a flag," said Kuzma, vice president of the museum's board of directors. "I feel very strongly about bringing a piece of history that was important 50 years ago back to our community. We have a lot of history here people need to appreciate and remember."
Visitors to the museum on Saturday can peruse a display of Civil War artifacts from Vicksburg and Gettysburg. In addition, Kuzma and Dr. Theodore Karamanski, of Loyola University in Chicago, will present "High Tide in July: The Momentous Campaigns of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, 1863."
On Sunday, the museum will display the 100th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment flag. The director of the Illinois Military State Museum, retired Brig. Gen. Stewart Reeve, and the museum's assistant registrar, Alex Dixon, will accompany the flag.
Later that day, the Joliet American Legion Band will perform Civil War-era songs on the museum rooftop. All these Civil War programs are free with a paid admission to the museum, Kuzma said.
Most of the members of the 100th Infantry originated from Will County, Kuzma said. The local government helped raise the regiment by providing a small bounty to encourage enlistment and a stipend for the men's families.
The community gave 800 soldiers a huge send-off when they left by train on Sept. 2, 1862. The men's letters to their loved ones often were printed in the newspaper of the time, Kuzma said. All except 200 of these soldiers died in action or from disease or were wounded and sent home.
"Maybe the signature events didn't happen here, but Will County was as much of the Civil War as anyone else in the country," Kuzma said.
All of the regiment's battles are marked on the flag, from the first engagement to the Battle of Nashville in 1864. At the war's conclusion, all volunteer units turned in their national and regimental "colors" or flags to the state of Illinois, Kuzma said.
Many of these former flags now hang in the Illinois State Military Museum in Springfield. Some are archived in large drawers, which are not accessible to the public, Kuzma said.
Restoration to Civil War flags is necessary, Kuzma said, because of its materials: weighted silk and oil-based paint. Silk, as it ages, becomes brittle and may eventually disintegrate into dust.
If returned, the 100th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment flag will be preserved and displayed in a glass case at the Joliet Area Historical Museum, Kuzma said. He hopes that happens by June 2015, the 150th anniversary of the soldiers' return to Joliet, when their term of service ended.
"This is a one-time opportunity to preserve a piece of history that was very important to a group of people who were at a monumental crossroads in American history," Kuzma said.
Donation checks can be made payable to the Joliet Area Historical Museum, c/o 100th Illinois, 204 Ottawa Street, Joliet, IL 60432.

Chris KogerEmployees at Missa Bay process apples for McDonald's at the company's Swedesboro, N.J., plant in this 2005 file photo.(UPDATED COVERAGE, Aug. 16) Apple slices provided to McDonald's and Burger King are included in a voluntary recall of almost 300,000 cases and another 296,000 individual packages of fresh-cut fruit, vegetable and sandwich products because of possible listeria contamination.
Missa Bay LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ready Pac Foods Inc., Swedesboro, N.J., initiated the recall late Aug. 10 after equipment at its processing facility was found to be contaminated with listeria.
No illnesses have been reported related to the recalled products, according to the notice, posted on the Food and Drug Administration's website.
Calls to Missa Bay and Ready Pac were not immediately returned Aug. 13.
"Our No. 1 priority is to complete the recall as quickly as possible to reduce the risk to public health, said Tristan Simpson, Ready Pac marketing director. "We have initiated all actions to achieve this goal."
McDonald's and Burger King issued statements indicating both chains immediately removed the recalled products from their restaurants.
"While we may be out of stock for a brief period, we are actively replenishing supply in our restaurants," according to the McDonald's statement on the company's website. "Any apples currently in our restaurants are not affected by this recall."
Most of the recalled products contain sliced or diced apples, according to the notice on the FDA website. They have use-by dates of July 8 through Aug. 20. Twenty-nine different products are included.
In addition to apple slices for McDonald's and Burger King, products packed under the Wawa brand, Ready Pac label, Wegmans label and Hannaford label are included in the recall.
Some non-apple products, including Wawa baby carrots and red grapes are also included in the recall, but there's no information regarding why they are included. The entire list of recalled products is in the FDA notice.
The products were shipped to retailers and foodservice operations in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

A: Light pollution is any adverse effect of artificial light, including sky glow, glare, light trespass, light clutter, decreased visibility at night, and energy waste.
Light pollution wastes energy, affects astronomers and scientists, disrupts global wildlife and ecological balance, and has been linked to negative consequences in human health. Read on to learn more about specific issues.
A: Two elements of light pollution affect astronomers most: sky glow and light trespass.Sky glow is a result of fixtures that emit a portion of their light directly upward into the sky where light scatters, creating an orange-yellow glow above a city or town. This light can then interfere with sensitive astronomical instruments designed to capture light from distant galaxies. Light trespass occurs when poorly shielded or poorly aimed fixtures cast light into unwanted areas, such as an observatory, buildings, neighboring property, and homes. This light also interferes with astronomical instruments.
To prevent sky glow and light trespass, use fully shielded light fixtures--those that put light only where it is wanted and needed, not wastefully into the sky or annoyingly onto neighboring properties.

Certain light sources are more "astronomically friendly" than others. Because the near monochromatic yellow of low sodium pressure lighting is easily filtered out, it is preferred for use near observatories. Broad spectrum white light or white light with a high content of short (blue) wavelengths is more disruptive around observatories.

A: Absolutely. Artificial light at night has been shown to affect the mating, migration, and predation behaviors of many different species and, consequently, the ecological community as a whole. For example:
A: Specified periods of light and dark, known as circadian rhythms, are essential for good health for life on Earth, including humans. Health researchers have established that exposure to artificial light at night reduces the human body's production of melatonin, the hormone that tells the body's organs and systems that it is dark. Higher levels of melatonin slow growthof breast cancer tumors in women and may similarly affect other cancers, including prostate cancer. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed "shiftwork that involves circadian disruption" among agents and exposure circumstances that are "probably carcinogenic to humans."
The majority of exposure to high levels of artificial light at night comes from indoor sources, including television and computer screens. IDA recommends light days and dark nights to maintain an optimum circadian rhythm.
Careless outdoor lighting can trespass onto neighboring property and into neighbor's homes, disrupting important healthy sleeping patterns.
A: We advocate putting light where it is needed, during the time period it will be used, and at the levels that enhance visibility. There are recommended levels of lighting for the purposes of safety, so people don't trip on stairs, for example. But bad lighting can diminish security and may even attract criminals, giving them places to hide in the deep shadows created by bright, glary light (right).
A: Begin by talking with your neighbor and having a look at our Practical Guide on Residential Lighting (en espanol). Explain how the light disturbs you. Ask why the light was installed and whether it is achieving its purpose. Suggest a lower wattage, fully shielded light with a timer and/or motion sensor as a way to light property for security but with minimal affect on neighbors. If a personal appeal fails, check with your community's land use planning and zoning department as to whether it has a lighting ordinance regulation that may demand remedy.
A gift of an IDA Membership to a neighbor can be used to "break the ice" and to help spread the word about the work IDA does to help preserve and protect the night skies.

A: Just remember that dark sky friendly lighting does not mean dark ground. Use outdoor light at night only when and where it is needed and at appropriate lighting levels. Use fully shielded, light efficient fixtures aimed downward where it is needed. Incorporate timers and sensors to shut off lights when not in use.
Learn more and become an advocate by joining, donating, or even starting a local Chapter of IDA in your area.
A: A dark sky friendly lighting design takes into consideration several issues:
A: There are many IDA-Approved™ dark sky friendly light fixtures screened through our Fixture Seal of Approval program. These fixtures have all been reviewed to ensure that they minimize light pollution. Look in your local home improvement or hardware store for our Fixture Seal of Approval. If they don't carry them, ask that they do!
A: Our Directory of Ordinance and Lighting Regulations is an excellent place to start a search for local, state, and international lighting regulations. You can also begin with the local lighting ordinances in your area. Most city governments have their lighting ordinances on-line for the public to review. If you are still having difficulty finding information call the IDA office and we can put you in touch with an IDA member in your area.
A: Begin by reading IDA's Outdoor Lighting Ordinances and Community Standards and Getting Started with an Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. Research outdoor lighting regulations that other similar communities have passed. Consult IDA's Simple Guidelines for Lighting Regulations in developing an ordinance that can be adopted by your community's planning board.
A: Here are eight suggestions to help you get started:
Determine what your goals are. Decide whether or not you can live with the best lighting available, or whether you remain opposed to any lighting.
A. Absolutely. Our Educators and Kids page contains fun activities and information for students as well as presentations and lesson plans for elementary school teachers.

Point Loma Nazarene University is helping the San Diego Foundation cast a vision for the future of the greater San Diego region.
PLNU is a participating partner in the foundation's Our Greater San Diego Vision program that is surveying San Diego residents to help create a plan for San Diego's future. In addition, PLNU's director of community outreach and governmental relations, Megan Ekard Collins, is one of only 100 people selected from the San Diego region to sit on the Our Greater San Diego Vision council as an ambassador.
"We want to plan for San Diego's future to help ensure that future generations can enjoy America's Finest City as much as we do today. We expect 1.3 million more residents in San Diego County in the next 40 years, so now is the ideal time to cast a vision for the way we want our community to grow," said Ekard.
Survey participants voice their opinions on issues such as education, jobs, housing, the environment, and future amenities such as parks, sports and entertainment venues, libraries, museums, and the arts.
Thus far, PLNU is reporting a survey rate that is eight times higher than most other participating organizations.
PLNU encourages students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the survey and help shape our community's future. Please visit www.ourgreatersandiegovision.org/PLNU before Jan. 31.
Point Loma Nazarene University had the 3rd highest pass rate in California on the 2010 certified public accountant (CPA) exam, according to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). PLNU was number one among private and Christian universities. PLNU graduates also had the highest average score on the exam. "I am pleased and proud of our PLNU accounting alumni," said accounting professor Carl Hammond. "It is rewarding to see their hard work pay off, so they are able to build valuable careers. It is an honor to teach at a university that recruits this caliber of students." The University of California, Berkeley ranked number one with a 60.2 percent pass rate while UCLA took the second spot with 58.6 percent. PLNU was just a tenth of a point behind UCLA with 58.5 percent. Rounding out the top five were the University of Southern California and Chapman University.There were 57 schools in California ranked in NASBA's report.
PLNU is pleased to welcome David McCurry as its new associate vice president for university advancement. McCurry brings significant fundraising experience to PLNU, including a proven track record of fundraising success in Christian higher education. He comes to PLNU from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, where he served as the senior development director. In that role, McCurry led the major gifts area and gave direction to annual giving and foundation relations. Prior to joining the fund development team at Westmont nearly 10 years ago, McCurry served as vice president of advancement at Corban University in Salem, Oregon. He also served as vice president of sales and marketing for PAR Distributors in San Jose before moving to Washington to serve as the northwest market manager for Honeywell's automotive aftermarket division, where he managed his team's sales and marketing efforts throughout a five-state region.With a B.A. in business administration from Azusa Pacific University, an M.B.A. with a marketing concentration from City University, and an M.S. in nonprofit management and philanthropy from Bay Bath College in Massachusetts, McCurry is well qualified for his new role at PLNU. He has also earned the internationally recognized certified fund raising executive (CFRE) designation.McCurry is thrilled to be a member of University Advancement at PLNU, according Joe Watkins, Ph.D., vice president for external relations, and is looking forward to interacting with alumni, parents, and friends of the institution; hearing people's stories; and assisting donors in fulfilling their philanthropic dreams through PLNU.As an active volunteer in the Santa Barbara area, McCurry's community service included serving as a volunteer coach through AYSO and the Ben Page Youth Center. He has also served as a mentor at the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission and as board chair of Life Network. Because of that work, K-Lite Radio and the Santa Barbara News Press honored McCurry as a community hero in 2006. Married for nearly 23 years, David and his wife, Susan, have three children, Morgan (18), Jonah (14), and Amanda (12). In his free time, McCurry enjoys walking at the beach, reading, teaching, and nature photography.
The PLNU Speech and Debate Team finished the fall semester by winning first place overall sweepstakes in the four-year college division at the PSCFA Fall Championship held Dec. 2-4 at Cerritos College.
"This effort was helped a great deal by having five of our six teams entered in the senior division of parliamentary debate advancing to the bronze round," noted coach Dr. Skip Rutledge.
PLNU team and individual accomplishments at the tournament included the following: Senior Division NFA Lincoln Douglas Debate:
Junior Division Parliamentary Debate:
Senior Division Parliamentary Debate:
Individual Events Results:
PLNU was recently ranked No. 28 in the Washington Monthly's 2011 College Guide, in the category of master's universities. Their rankings rate schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and Ph.D.s), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
To view the complete list, click here.
On Dec. 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., PLNU will be hosting the annual Red Cross Blood Drive. Located in Cunningham, the blood drive exists for those capable of donating blood to help save the lives of others in need. According to the American Red Cross, blood is needed by someone in the U.S. every 2 seconds, and one donation can save up to three people. When asked what her personal reason for donating was, senior international studies major Kristina Martinez said, "Because I have a blood type that is in high demand, I feel more inclined to donate. The more people I can help, the better."
Every year, PLNU hosts the drive where volunteers are able to give freely and lovingly in order to save the lives of many.
For more information and to sign up for the blood drive, please go to https://www.givelife.org/index.cfm?group=op or contact Chelsea Joanou at email@example.com.

i love male models!
Most of these guys posted here are underwear models though. Not real runway/high fashion models.
High fashion models are actually supposed to be skinny, kinda like the girls. While the underwear models are obviously meant to be beefy. The high fashion models might not be as popular here because they don't have a buff body, most most of them have a beautiful face though. I prefer that to a hot bod anyway.
Excellent taste as usual Chace..
One of my favorites is Nick Snider, not only is he a cutie, but also a friend of mine.
Don't we already have a dozen of "male models" threads already?
Nick Snider undoubtedly gorgeous but even he clearly gets the airbrush treatment..... like the thread idea
I actually knew him before he was a model. He was discovered working at Disney World. His Mom lives about 1/2 mile from me, although he lives in Manhattan now.
Hey, there has to be some perks for living in Orlando, lol.
And by the way, you're quite the cutie yourself.
My favorite male model is Clint Mauro!
^^^more of Clint!
More Clement!
Matheus Verdelho

Love Ryan Daharsh!
Thor Knai is another fav!
I can't believe a professional model management would allow their clients to disfigure their body like that in #12 and #13.
It's going to limit their earnings in the future.
A professional fashion model has to change their look according with the fashion of the day.
Jon Kortajarena...enough said.
Cfwwfc, thank you for introducing me to Mr. Daharsh. And I thought the end all be all was Kerry Degman!
While he doesn't have the most rockin' bod, Julian Hennig does have his charms. There's something ethereal and exotic about his looks. Love the last shot of his profile.
brian joubert, french figure skater.... not a model but sexy as hell!!!!!
look at the reflection of the hand in picture 3 in post #20. Is it real?
I guarantee that that image has been 'enhanced'. The no. 2 image is SO enhanced that it looks like a hand-brushed photo-montage rather than a photograph. (I'm not complaining. And Julian is pretty.)
I speak to people in the model industry and they say there is a sharp demarcation between those tall ones who work LIVE on a catwalk and those short ones who lie back to be photographed.

I was surprised when the Island got shipped 2 weeks sooner than expected. This was good because it was a Christmas gift for my wife. I do cabinet work but am almost always too busy to build anything for my own home. I chose this one because I liked the style, the flat panel doors , the warm maple wood and the reasonable price. The assembly went pretty well but the directions were confusing at times. All the holes lined up and all of the screws worked as planned except the screws for the drawer slides of which the heads were too small for the holes even though they were in a special bag stating that they were bigger than normally supplied. Instead, I used 4 #8 screws of the same length that should have gone for the braces for the top. The smaller #6 screws worked fine for the top braces. The doors swing on pins instead of hinges so there is no adjustment but none was needed. The bottom is designed to sit on pins like the middle shelf but I plan to get some small angle brackets for the bottom shelf so the unit doesn't wrack out of square. I also plan on replacing (eventually) the drawer slides with full extension ball bearing slides so you can see what's in the back of the drawer and because the top of the drawer front rubs on the counter top. There is no adjustment on the slides provided. I will also replace the handles with some oil rubbed bronze handles to match the hardware in the kitchen. I also drilled two more holes for the middle shelf for more adjustment. Since the wood came with an oil finish, it will probably need more finish in time but that's an easy thing to do. The instructions tell you which oil to use to re-coat the unit. All in all, the island should serve the porpoise and provide some much-needed counter space and storage. The quality was well worth the $250 I paid (free shipping) and it was the lowest price I could find after looking at about 10 sites. I saw this island advertised for almost $400. at one site! I think the average person will be happy with the island as supplied, I just wanted to make it a little more unique with the little changes I made.
LOVE THIS PIECE. it is so gorgeous. Unless you are very handy and have much patience, two people are needed to put this together. it took me and a helper almost 2 hours to put ti together. but it is worth it and so beautiful. I added new handles to match the hardware in my kitchen and it rocks!
This is our second one of these. They are easy to assemble, stylish and durable.
I needed extra work space but didn't have a lot of space, period. This cart is perfect. I can roll it out when I need it, and roll it back when I'm done. Great quality!
I bought this Catskills island for my small kitchen to have more working space. It�s came well packed and with all instructions how to assemble. It took me some time to put together, but I do not have any skills, I will rephrase I did not have any skills before. I put together and the cabinet looks so good!!! The more I use the more I love it. Overstock thank you :)
I needed a little more space in my kitchen. This cabinet fits perfectly. It was easy to assemble and holds a lot. With the wheels it can move around easily. Would recommend to anyone.
Please be careful if you purchase this product. It is UNFINISHED!!!!! My husband took it out of the box andasked if it was finished, without looking I said yes. It took him two hours to assemble it and when I saw it I was shocked. It is much smaller than I thought and it is unfinished.It looks more like a microwave cart than a center island and was overpriced. I would send it back but it would take hours to take it apart. I am stuck with it. What a waste of money!!!!

The most awesome place to stay in SEAZ
I was attracted to this charming house immediately! It promised quiet relaxation, spectacular views of the Huachuca mountains, and a yard filled with birds. I was not disappointed, and in fact, the house wildly exceeded my expectations. My husband and I spend 5 days and nights here and found it extremely hard to leave. Rachel's attention to every detail from the time of our booking up to weeks after we had left was commendable - by far the most conscientious hostess I have ever encountered. There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this rental. If it looks interesting to you, just go ahead and book it. You will not be disappointed in any way!
We rented this house for two weeks. After getting a late start due to car troubles, we arrived and couldn't be more pleased. It must have been perfect timing, every morning there were about 50 butterflies pollinating the beautiful purple bushes within the courtyard, the roses were gorgeous, and the scene was breathtaking. Every detail both inside and outside is remarkable. As a previous reviewer stated, we didn't want to leave!

Verification is the Key Entrepreneurial Opportunity
0 comments post a comment
The evolution of chips to big SoCs has made verification the most critical and time-consuming aspect of the development cycle. In many ways, it's larger and more complex than hardware design.
For a hardworking, creative and enterprising EDA entrepreneur, there is no shortage of technological challenges, especially on the verification front. The evolution of chips to big SoCs has made verification the most critical and time-consuming aspect of the development cycle. In many ways, its larger and more complex than hardware design.
This complexity is a big challenge and sometimes becomes a hurdle to the acceptance of newer, better technologies. Several years back, I visited a verification engineer when I was CEO of a small verification company. He politely listened to the presentation about our new technology and liked what he heard. He somewhat facetiously said that he liked the tool. However, he currently had 11 other tools running and asked me which one he could drop if he adopted my technology. His point was that he couldnt handle another tool.
Few verification engineers would argue that verification closure is still an elusive goal. Despite the numerous weapons a verification engineer has in his or her arsenal, tapeouts are still mostly given the green light based on schedule constraints and with the knowledge that bugs remain in the design. The hope is that software patches will fix the remaining problems or that bugs are acceptable to end users. As an example, we all occasionally have to restart our smartphones, but it does not mean that we deem the device to be of poor quality.
Another manifestation of the incomplete closure offered by the plethora of verification tools is the increasing use of the shuttle services offered by silicon foundries. These shuttles are small volume, regularly scheduled fab runs split between many designs to reduce tooling costs (NRE of the mask set, mostly) for each participant.
Shuttles enable design and verification teams to create silicon prototypes early in the design cycle at a reduced cost. The benefit is that extensive tests can be run on the actual silicon at much higher speeds than in simulation, emulation or FPGA prototype. The requirement is, of course, that these initial chips must perform basic operations.
Lets turn our attention to the opportunities for a hardworking, creative and enterprising individual who sees a future in solving the verification challenge. The semiconductor industry has many unsolved verification problems and clearly theres a gap in verification coverage. That makes verification an exciting market where one key opportunity stands out in my mind that is, system-level verification.
Today, the state of the art in functional verification is considered to be the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) based on constrained random tests. This approach is effective at the block or sub-system level, but does not scale well for SoCs with multiple embedded processors, and they are prevalent and gobbling up functionality in ultrabooks, smartphones, tablets and other cool devices.
This leaves verification teams with a large gap when it comes to SoC-level verification. For example, as a member of the Board of Directors at Breker Verification Systems, I often hear the expression, Stitch and ship will sink you every time. A catchy phrase, to be sure, but the message is clear: Todays verification tools are only performing basic checks at the SoC level, including simple connectivity checks and basic directed C tests running on embedded processors. This leaves unaddressed the more complex checks required to ensure the operation of multi-processor SoCs.
What verification teams need is the ability to generate complex C tests running on embedded processors to exercise the corner cases of their most complex SoCs. This is the bridge between the simple hand-written directed C tests and running application software usually performed in emulation or prototyping. The former falls short in terms of coverage since it is impossible to write tests for the complex operations of a multi-processor SoC; the latter tends to result in well-behaved code.
Anyone thinking about starting a verification company must be wondering about the financing since the traditional venture capital route is not readily available any longer. Instead, many of the Silicon Valley companies I talk to are bootstrapping themselves through consulting contracts or borrowing from family members and friends of the family. As a more mature industry, EDA has several angel investors willing to invest in startups because theyve been there and done it, and have the funds to pay it forward. Several companies have turned to corporate partners for an investment. Others have gone offshore for funding.
The formerly dependable exit strategy has changed as well. The big three EDA vendors have a different acquisition strategy than in the past when they gobbled up small companies with promising technology. Today, they are more likely to purchase a large company with a mature, stable product and a portfolio of paying customers. Who hadnt heard that Magma was too big to be acquired?
Creativity, then, is a watchword for the product direction, funding and an exit strategy. Daunting challenges, no doubt, but not nearly as daunting as the challenges associated with todays chip verification. An enterprising EDA entrepreneur will not be dissuaded and will agree with me that verification is an exciting market segment filled with loads of challenge.

Most competing grant programs at NIH require electronic application submission. Since 2005 NIH has been receiving "simple" (aka "single project") applications electronically (e.g R01, R03, etc.). Applicant organizations submit single project applications to Grants.gov, and must track their application as it moves from Grants.gov to the eRA Commons, NIH's system for grants administration, to complete the submission process.
In 2013 NIH has started to accept "multi-project" (aka "complex") applications electronically (e.g. P50, P01, etc.), see transition timeline for more information). A new electronic system, ASSIST is used to submit these multi-project applications. Each funding opportunity will clearly state whether electronic submission is required and will link you to the appropriate submission method (list of production multi-project FOAs that have transitioned to electronic submission).
Make Sure To…
- Register early! Registration at both Grants.gov and eRA Commons is required, can take 8 weeks or more and MUST be completed before the submission deadline. Learn more.
- Verify that your organization is registered with the new System for Award Management (SAM). You must maintain an active entity registration. This registration must be renewed annually through the SAM.gov web site. Use the SAM.gov "Manage Entity" function to manage your entity registrations. See the Grants Registrations User Guide at https://www.sam.gov for additional information.
- Carefully follow the requirements found in the application guide and funding opportunity announcement. Instructions in the FOA supersede those found in the application guide.
- Check your application for common errors before you submit (use our Annotated Forms for extra tips).
- Correct any errors or warnings before the submission deadline.
- Verify that your application is viewable in the eRA Commons. If you cannot view the application in the Commons, NIH can't review it!
- Submit early. The best way to reduce stress and ensure successful submission is to submit well ahead of the due date.

I think it is apropo that Capital Tonight has been talking to those on the left and right of the looming fiscal cliff that is facing New York, and really most states across the country. The last year and a half has cemented the term "mandate relief" into our political verbiage, and with good reason.
As I have stated many times before, the property tax cap was not the "silver bullet" that was going to solve all of our ills. In fact, the NFIB/NY position was always that it needed to be paired with significant immediate and long term mandate relief. Thirteen months after the tax cap was signed into law, with the exception of some medicaid and pension reform, we have not seen any mandate relief. And it begs the question…why?
Many want to peg mandate relief as a business versus public employee union issue. Some make it a Republican versus Democrat issue. But I think the last few weeks have shown this to be a problem that crosses all political lines. Think about it. Former Lt. Governor Richard Ravitch (a Democrat) issued a report a few weeks ago that highlights many of the issues that are plaguing our schools and communities, while threatening our financial future. These are no surprise. Medicaid, public pensions and health care. All of which, he states, need significant fiscal attention.
Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner (a Democrat) has been at the forefront of this discussion. She has been warning for months that the City of Syracuse is facing enormous fiscal issues, directly related to skyrocketing pension and health care costs. The ills of Syracuse are not unique. Yonkers is in a similar situation. More schools and communities will soon follow.
It will take tremendous leadership and bi-partisan collaboration to sensibly solve these problems. It will take leaders of our unions to work with business and municipal leaders to fix our state's economic and financial future. That is what makes the Let NY Work coalition special. Leaders from business, school districts and municipalities all working together to fix these problems. We battled on the tax cap, but now are working as one. If we can do it, others should take notice and follow suit.
The objective of mandate relief is to set a new course for our state. One that will provide the high level of education our children need. Which will allow the critical services provided by our communities to be affordable and sustained. Ensures that we have more than enough economic opportunities for entrepreneurs large and small. This is not a utopia. This could be New York.
We need more leaders, in both parties, to make this a priority. Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb has been discussing these issues for months. He needs more partners. The Republicans and Democrats in Albany need to start taking these issues seriously. They need to start listening to our city mayors and town supervisors. To our school superintendents and business leaders. These problems are not going away and are getting worse. Leaders of our public and private sector unions need to join in. The political rhetoric that they typically use only worsens the situation. Raising taxes are not a solution. They need to understand that our schools, communities and jobs are at stake. They need to join us in this effort.
I am in to do my part to get this done. I know I have some partners on both sides of the aisle and tax cap debate that are as well. This needs to be a priority in Albany starting now.

Cancer cells that are hypoxic often do not succumb to standard chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Medical oncologist William Tap discusses the multicenter clinical trial he is leading to compare doxorubicin (a standard chemotherapy drug for soft tissue sarcoma) plus TH-302 versus doxorubicin alone in patients with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma that is inoperable or metastatic.

When Dirk Manning was creating his horror opus, NIGHTMARE WORLD, he turned to quite a number of immensely talented artists of almost every imaginable style. One of those artists was JOSHUA ROSS, who struck up such a great pairing with Manning that the two now work together on the webcomic TALES OF MR. RHEE, a spinoff from the Nightmare World series. We were able to convince Josh to step away from his drawing board long enough to answer these ten questions.
