Welfare State is Over, Dutch King Announces
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 27, 2013 @ 9:28 am In The Point | 7 Comments
In other news, republics just don't work.
Holland's new king Willem-Alexander today declared the end of the welfare state in a nationally-televised annual address.
The king, who is at 46 the youngest monarch in Europe, said a new 'participation society' would take its place, in which people must save and invest to create their own social safety net with less help from the national government.
'The shift to a "participation society" is especially visible in social security and long-term care,' the king said in a speech to MPs written for him by Prime Minister Mark Rutte's government.
The classic welfare state of the second half of the 20th century in these areas in particular brought forth arrangements that are unsustainable in their current form.'
He said that nowadays, people expect and 'want to make their own choices, to arrange their own lives, and take care of each other.'
Well some do. Others don't. That's the problem we're all faced with. What began as a social safety net has evolved into a lifestyle for some, especially those with the least investment in their host country.
The toxic relationship between left-wing activists and the professional poor is destroying entire economies as the left is motivated to increase the welfare rolls and those on them are motivated to vote for the left.

How To Grow Herbs: Indoors and Outdoors
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, May 27, 2012The right herb can really make a recipe. Whether it brings brightness to a beverage or spice to a saute, herbs are invaluable, flavorful, add-ins when it comes to healthy cooking. With the warm months upon us, growing your own herbs is a great idea. Not only is it a low-cost hobby (which can save you money on high-cost ingredients), but also brings the season's freshest flavors right to your windowsill.
But how does a novice grower begin? There are so many things to consider—what to grow, how much light, water, and soil, which pots and plant food.
Light is an absolute must. As a rule of thumb, when growing inside, make sure your plant gets 6-8 hours of good sunlight. Southwestern-facing windows are best if you have one. If you don't have adequate light, supplemental lamps are always an option. As for potting, there are just a few rules, but it is important to observe them carefully. Pots must always have drainage holes and herbs should not be grown in pots smaller than 6 inches.
If you're trying to start an outdoor herb garden, many of the same considerations apply. If you're starting from seed, check your seed packets for space recommendations. Also make sure your herbs are getting the optimal amount of light. This doesn't always mean as much light as possible, just the right amount for the herb you're growing. For example, while sage grows well in full sunlight, chervil prefers full shade. It is all too easy to over-water or over-fertilize herbs. Herbs tend to need less water than expected and too much fertilizer may ruin the taste. Rely on the soil to tell you when to water. If it feels or looks dry, chances are your herbs could use some moisture.
One more factor worth considering is the lifespan of your new herb garden. If you prefer to plant once and reap the benefits each season, opt for perennials like chives, fennel, thyme, mint or tarragon. Annuals are shorter lived, blooming for one season only. Coriander, dill, basil, chervil and anise are all annuals. Regardless of your choice of herbs, keep one more tip in mind: Trimming the tops or leaves stimulates growth. However, never trim away over a third of the leaves—this may be detrimental to your plant.
Easy-to-grow herbs include chives, mint, parsley, bay tree (bay leaves) and lemongrass.
Lemongrass does not actually grow in soil, but rather water (like bamboo). You can pick it up at most markets. If you trim the top and place the bottom in a couple of inches of water (so long as the base is intact), you'll be rewarded with roots and new shoots in no time!
Mint grows quickly and easily, but beware—it needs its own space, as it can become rather invasive.
Coriander is the seed of the cilantro plant. The Vietnamese coriander variety is particularly easy to grow and yields a hearty plant.
Chives are great starter herbs for several reasons. They do not need much light and grow quite quickly. To start your own chives, uproot a handful from an established plant. Make sure not to tear the roots! Place them in a pot half-full of soil and cover with soil to just above the roots.
Parsley is likewise quite easy, but not as fast. The most difficult part is germinating the seed, which may take a couple of weeks. After that, parsley is slow and steady, needing little maintenance or light.
Moderately difficult-to-grow herbs include oregano, rosemary and thyme.
Oregano, rosemary and thyme all require at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day (and sometimes need supplemental sunlight as well). If trying oregano, the Greek variety is a bit easier to grow. With rosemary, on the other hand, less is more. It is easily over-watered and actually prefers mid-grade soil.
Up for a challenge? Try basil, cilantro or sage.
Basil is one of the most difficult herbs to grow, particularly indoors (it struggles during the winter months). If you're ready for a challenge though, try the Spicy Globe or African Blue variety. They will give you the best chances of success for indoor growing.
Cilantro is significantly more challenging to grow as a leaf. It has a tendency to bolt—a panic mode that plants go into under stress—and proceeds to grow flowers and seeds in place of leaves. Sage is rather susceptible to mildew and tends to get over-watered.

[Android] Get information about music and TV shows in seconds with Shazam
Posted By Justin On January 8, 2013 @ 9:28 AM In Android | No Comments
[1]I love listening to music and watching TV…usually not at the same time. However, I always seem to come across songs that I don't know or TV shows that I want more information about. That is where Shazam comes in. This is a program that can help you identify music, stream lyrics and even provide you with YouTube videos of that song. As far as TV shows go, the program will give you celebrity buzzes about actors in that show, trivia and a lot more.
Main Functionality
Shazam is a very easy-to-use app for your Android phone that can provide you with information about TV shows and music within seconds. All you have to do is hold your phone up to a song or TV show you are listening/watching, and the app does the rest. From there you can get the name of the track you are listening to, the artists who sang it, lyrics, videos and even special offers.
[2]Shazam is one of those apps that does it all…well, as far as tagging music and TV shows goes. There are a lot of apps out there like Shazam, but I found myself liking the interface of Shazam the best. It is very easy to use, and does not take up a lot of your phone's resources (which is very important to me as well).
The way Shazam works is simple. When you are listening to a song you like or watching a TV show, simply bring up Shazam, and let the app "listen" to what you are listening to. It will pull up information about that show or song. From there you can get lyrics, artist information, links to YouTube videos and more. Not only that, but it only takes seconds for all of this information to pull up.
I did find myself liking the fact that the program streams the lyrics of a song for you. Say you are listening to a song, and you bring up Shazam. Not only will the app give you information about that song, but it will also provide you with lyrics that stream across your phone. It does not just provide you with a long page of lyrics. It will actually play as you listen to the music.
The biggest problem is the fact that the app does not provide all of these features for every country. This may be due to copyright issues. Whatever the reason, you are not able to save a 30 second music preview of songs you listen to in all countries. Be sure to check out the con list above to see if this feature is available in your country.
Shazam is a great app that I highly recommend for people who love listening to music. Keep in mind that the music you listen to is going to need to have lyrics for the app to recognize it. On top of that, it does seem to work best with popular music. Either way, whether you are just looking for a fun app to mess around with or you find yourself always wondering what a song is, Shazam can help you out. Best of all, it is completely free.

Antoine Griezmann has refused to be drawn on his future, after reports have suggested that he could leave Real Sociedad.
Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been linked with the French winger, but the Real youngster has failed to comment on whether this could be his last season at the Anoeta.
"If it is coming to an end, I do not know," he told Foot Mercato.
"But as I said, it's far away for me. I've just started the season and I am enjoying it."
Asked if he could see himself in any other League, the former Lyon man responded: "I'm in one of the best leagues in the world.
"I will not complain. A preference for another championship? I do not have one. And as I have said, I have the time and for me it is very far away."

Bolajoko Adeniyi has always wanted to assist people who were in need of, but couldn't afford, quality health care. But first the 28-year-old Belleville woman had to take on the high cost of studying medicine. So when the medical student learned that she had won the National Head Start Association's Dr. Scott Harkley Memorial Scholarship, she was grateful for the financial help. Adeniyi is a former participant in the SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program, based at the SIUE East St. Louis Center.
"I have a house worth of loans to pay back," said Adeniyi, who recently won the award which comes with a $1,500 cash prize. Adeniyi was given the award at the recent Annual Head Start Awards Ceremony and Dinner in Dallas, Texas. Adeniyi's name was included in the national competition for the scholarship award after she was selected at the state level. "I was so surprised and excited to win," she said. "The money will certainly be put to good use and will get me that much closer to paying off my loans."
Dr. Scott Harkley Memorial Scholarship candidates are required to be Head Start graduates pursuing medical careers. Adeniyi said she received a great introduction to education as a preschool student at St. Joseph Head Start Center in East St. Louis, where her mother Mary Adeniyi was a volunteer. Her mother currently works at St. Joseph Head Start. "My mother has worked a long time for Head Start, and I volunteered at the Belleville Head Start Center when I was in high school," Adeniyi said. "I love children and we both realize the importance of good education."
Adeniyi is currently a fourth-year student at Ross University School of Medicine. She is finishing clinical work in gynecology at St. Anthony's Hospital in Chicago and is studying for medical board exams. The future doctor graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana/ Champaign in 2004 and worked at the Washington University Medical School Genome Sequencing Center, where she conducted DNA research. As a doctor, Adeniyi plans to help with the medical needs of children and adults and instruct them on good health care practices.
Mother-daughter relationships can be stressful-think Mama Rose and her daughters in the smash hit musical Gypsy or Christine and her somewhat less than cherubic daughter, Rhoda, in the 1950s drama, The Bad Seed.
However, lyricist Joel Paley and composer Melvin Laird have shown us the comic side of such mother-daughter tensions with their 1992 off-Broadway spoof Ruthless! The Musical, the kick-off production for this year's Summer ShowBiz season opening June 10 in the James F. Metcalf Theater on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Ruthless! The Musical won the 1993 New York Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical and it has been entertaining audiences around the country ever since. The play runs at SIUE at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, June 10-12 and June 17-19, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 13 and 20.
SIUE's Summer ShowBiz is part of the Summer Arts program sponsored by the SIUE College of Arts and Sciences.
With an all-female cast, except for one actor who looks suspiciously like a man, we find Judy Denmark, mother of the talented eight-year-old Tina who declares "I was born to entertain." Enter Sylvia St. Croix, an overbearing and sleazy agent, who encourages Tina to audition for the school play , Pippi in Tahiti, The Musical. However, third-grade teacher and frustrated actress Miss Myrna Thorn, who is directing Pippi, casts an untalented but "parentally" connected girl, Louise Lerman, for the lead, making Tina the frustrated understudy. After "begging nicely and saying please," Tina "accidentally" hangs Louise from the catwalk with a rope so that she can get the part.
"We're doing the play as the playwright intended-a spoof on Broadway musicals and films," says director Peter Cocuzza, who is a professor of theater and dance at the University and chair of that department. "From a theater department perspective, what better play to do than one that makes fun of theater. Ruthless is campy and the audiences may feel like it's not very good acting, but it actually is. It's very stylized, down to the makeup and the costumes, taking a very satirical look at the 1950s and '60s," he said. "The musical also is meant as a comment on that time in America when many families were so picture perfect but we learned later that all was not as it seemed."
Cocuzza said he has a great cast able to convey the humor in the script. "In particular, we have two young actors who are very talented-our Tina Denmark is actually 12-year-old Sarah Hasse of Godfrey, while Louise is portrayed by Melissa Haberl of Waterloo. They are both very cute. The original off-Broadway production," he explained, "had an older woman playing the 14-year-old and then she was double cast as another character later. But I wanted a juxtaposition with the characters, so I cast two actors in those roles."
Cocuzza stressed that the storyline is written as an obvious satire and done in comedic fashion. "You have a young girl who is so sweet but her dark side shows that she's willing to do dastardly deeds to get what she wants." He also points out that the music is very melodic. "The music is easy to listen to; audiences will have a pleasurable experience." Captivated by the score when he heard it in 1993, Cocuzza said he thought it had very catchy tunes with an interesting storyline. "I haven't found any other musicals that tell this kind of story," he said.
"I've been wanting to do this play for more than 15 years, but the opportunity just never presented itself or we couldn't find the right cast. I originally thought we would produce it during the regular academic year but we've had such success in the past with small musicals in the Metcalf during Summer ShowBiz, such as Tomfoolery in 2008, that I thought this was now a good fit. I find that it's the perfect musical to do in the."
He also pointed out that the set for Ruthless is very colorful. "This is a quirky production, with a set that is cleverly done. When the audience walks into the Metcalf they will be excited by the set with all the colors.
"I don't want families to think they can't bring their pre-teens, because they can," Cocuzza said. "There are maybe one or two words that are off-color but it's not meant to be offensive. The play is meant to be in good fun and it's all done in a satirical way. Of course, it's not Seussical, which is the final production of this year's Summer ShowBiz, but Ruthless is an eclectic part of the summer season."

The Dremuk-Watts Fellowship in Special Education and also in Finance, aimed at prospective international students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, has been established through the generosity of Richard Dremuk, retired assistant vice chancellor for Enrollment Management, and his wife, Patricia.
The couple not only helped foster the SIUE international student program more than 20 years ago but also has been among its staunch supporters.
The Dremuk-Watts Fellowship in Special Education will help an international student seeking a master of science in education with an emphasis in special education. The special education master's program is designed for students who already have a teaching certificate in special or general education, and who are seeking advanced professional development in special education.
The Dremuk-Watts Fellowship in Economics and Finance, with a concentration in finance, prepares students for positions as financial analysts and marketing researchers in corporations or government agencies as well as teaching. Students must have completed a baccalaureate or equivalent from an internationally recognized institution of higher learning with a GPA of meeting or exceeding a B-minus.
Dremuk said he and his wife have been helping international students in one way or another for some four decades. "I met my wife at NYU (New York University), where she worked with international students," Dremuk explained. "We've continued to be involved with helping international students for the past 40 years.
"At SIUE, Patricia and I helped develop the International Student Services office, so we established an endowment to fund scholarships for SIUE international students to support academic excellence and to foster leadership skills," Dremuk said. "These newest Fellowships are an extension of that effort."
Ron Schaefer, director of International Programs for the University, said the Dremuk-Watts Fund will encourage the further growth of the international program at SIUE and will help to enhance its reputation internationally. "Scholarship in its various manifestations is a central focus for our international students," he said.
"They have come here to broaden their education and to contribute to the intellectual rigor of our classrooms and laboratories. International students share their cultures and societies with the SIUE community in various ways, such as the International Student Council, International Night, Africa Night, International Week, Global Awareness Week and others," Schaefer said.
Narbeth Emmanuel, SIUE's vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said the Dremuk Fund honors those international students for their contributions to the University's commitment to diversity and campus life. "The Dremuks have been wonderful and true friends of SIUE and especially to our international community," Emmanuel said.
"This gift is an important contribution to what this University stands for."
Two scholars at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville are this year's recipients of the Vaughnie Lindsay New Investigator Awards, an award aimed at helping promising young faculty members further their research careers.
Edward Navarre, assistant professor of chemistry, and Jason Stacy, assistant professor of historical studies, will each receive one year of support to pursue a major research project in addition to their normal duties as faculty members. The awards recognize young professors who show potential to make significant contributions in their field through creative and empirical investigations. Navarre and Stacy will publish scholarly work and, ideally, receive additional externally sponsored grants to continue the project.
SIUE's Christa Johnson said the new winners were chosen after an arduous evaluation process. "We received many exciting applications, and these two stood out," said Johnson, associate dean of Graduate Studies and Research.
The two winners have already had impressive publication records in leading journals and publishing houses. Having been evaluated and recommended by their unit research committees and deans, the winners will be expected to "ramp up" their respective research projects, Johnson said. "They're both doing innovative research in their fields. The whole purpose of these New Investigator Awards is to support them so that they can have the chance to become more successful researchers," she said.
Since receiving a doctorate in 2002, Navarre has developed high-level work in the areas of analytical chemistry and atomic spectrometry, publishing in top journals as well as presenting at conferences nationally and internationally. For his Vaughnie Lindsay project, Navarre proposes to develop a portable, automated instrument for elemental analysis in disciplines such as art conservation, forensics, and public health Working with collaborators in SIUE's Department of Electrical Engineering, Navarre's lab will develop a power source and experiment with analytical methods for detecting trace elements in paints and physiological fluids.
The end result will be an energy-efficient, inexpensive, and portable instrument that will allow researchers to extract and analyze samples in the field or in the laboratory. The project not only offers exciting training opportunities for Navarre's students to work on a patentable product, it promises a solution to multidisciplinary problems that may be applied across academic, business and government research labs alike.
Stacy has been teaching in SIUE's Department of Historical Studies since 2006. As a professor of U.S. history, he has worked to establish expertise in antebellum American cultural and intellectual history.
Along with numerous peer-reviewed articles and presentations, Stacy's book, Walt Whitman's Multitudes: Labor Reform and Persona in Whitman's Journalism and the First Leaves of Grass 1840 - 1855 (Peter Lang Publishing Inc., 2008) and edited volume, Leaves of Grass 1860: The 150th Anniversary Facsimile Edition (University of Iowa Press, 2009), have enhanced his reputation as a rising star of Whitman studies.
Stacy's project focuses on his next book, The Future's Past: Experimental Histories in the Early American Republic. Stacy will trace the sometimes ambivalent and tense relationship between popular and professional history to the 1830s and 1840s, when Americans first began to wrestle with contested memories of their origins. The book explores how contemporary authors negotiated popular and traditional historical writing to create a particularly American history of the nation's origins.
The Award was created to honor Vaughnie J. Lindsay, who served as the dean of Graduate Studies and Research from 1973-1986 and who began the strong support of faculty research that continues today. Funding comes from private donations by faculty and emeritus faculty as well as the SIUE Graduate School, and collaborative funding from the awardees' respective school or college.
The SIUE yearbook, Muse, was first published in 1961, continuing annually through 1971. The majority of that time, Mildred Arnold, who was editor of SIUE's Alumnus magazine for many years until she died in 1997, was advisor to the student staff that produced the Muse. Arnold herself was a trained journalist.
Original copies of the yearbook have been maintained in the Louisa H. Bowen University Archives and Special Collections at SIUE's Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library for many years. The Muse has become available recently as a Lovejoy Library digital collection for the first time at the website: http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm4/index_sie_muse.php?CISOROOT=/sie_muse.
The digital collection points out that on May 24, 1960, then- SIUE Director of Student Affairs Howard V. Davis announced the appointment of students to serve as staff members on a new University yearbook and a new campus newspaper that would later become The Alestle.
According to the digital collection, a student newspaper, the ARC, had been produced at the Alton Residence Center, the former Shurtleff College facility in Alton (now the SIU School of Dental Medicine). "In anticipation of the completion of the new central campus, the students of the East St. Louis and the Alton residence centers had decided to establish a common yearbook and a common newspaper that would serve the Edwardsville community on a continuing basis," the digital collection points out.
It continues: "The initial issue of the Muse yearbook, covering the 1960-1961school year, appeared during the second week of June 1961. The Muse continued to be published each year between 1961 and 1971, a total of 11 volumes in all."
Steve Kerber, University archivist and special collections librarian at Lovejoy, proposed the digitization of the SIUE yearbooks. "(Library and Information Services) Dean (Regina) McBride initiated a digitization program for the library's special collections," Kerber explained in an interview. "We now have several Lovejoy Library digital collections available.
"Digitizing the Muse is one project in a series," Kerber said. "I specifically suggested the Muse because the yearbooks are very meaningful to the people who went to school here at that time but they also are very useful historic resources in identifying people and events at that era."
Kerber pointed out that the digitization program began during the 50 th Anniversary of the University in 2007, and the Muse was added to the queue, awaiting its turn among several other collections at the library. "Even though they are typical yearbooks," Kerber said, "they are filled with wonderful historical background for us now, with photos and text that give a perspective of life at this institution at the time.
"These yearbooks have been studied frequently by alums while faculty members have used them as research resources for students in classes."
Donna Bardon of Edwardsville, one of the student staffers for three editions, as well as editor of the 1966 edition, wrote in a brief history on the website that the first yearbook staffs "struggled with a way to establish an identity separate from the main campus in Carbondale, (but) they also tried to present balanced reporting between the Alton and the East St. Louis campuses.
Bardon noted that the acknowledgements (in the Muse editions) "mentioned that Mildred Arnold, a writer at what was then known as SIUE University News Service, donated her time freely to the Muse, which included 'prodding the staff to meet deadlines as well as making sure the staff wasn't hungry.' Charlie Cox, University photographer, also was acknowledged for his work."
Bardon said in a separate interview that the Arnolds would invite the staff three weeks out of every academic quarter to their large home in Edwardsville. "Although we would work throughout a weekend with little sleep, we had great fun," Bardon remembered. "They had plenty of bedrooms, so we would stay there the entire weekend.
"In 1964, George, who was Mildred's husband, was working on his doctorate at the house and he must have been a saint to put up with us. We would have papers spread around on the living room floor as well as the parlor and the dining room," Bardon said. "He had to move his research to the basement.
"The note of appreciation in the 1964 Muse gave special thanks to George, for 'pleasantly putting up with a houseful of college students' while he was completing his doctoral dissertation and working full-time." George Arnold died earlier this year at the age of 93.
Bardon also wrote in the essay that the yearbook staff planned a dance and a Miss Muse contest to promote sales of the 1963 Muse, which sold for $3. She continued: "the yearbook mentioned the difficulty student staff members had covering three campus locations, meeting deadlines and keeping up with their academic work.
"That year the Muse received a First Class Award from the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP)," she noted. It was the first of many to come."
In the interview, Bardon noted that she valued her three years on the yearbook staff at SIUE. "The 1966 issue that I edited included a photo essay of the move from the residence centers to the main campus at Edwardsville, which opened in 1965," she pointed out. "I was very proud of that issue."
It also won an All American award, the top honor given by the ACP. "Producing such a large publication was a significant responsibility for students; not only did we gain valuable writing and editing skills, but we also the learned the importance of meeting deadlines," Bardon said
"I enjoyed my time on the staff because of the fun and camaraderie of working with other students. It also gave me a sense of the University's history."
Bardon commended the Lovejoy Library administration for including the Muse in the digitization program. "I appreciate that the library chose the Muse for the digitization," she said. "It will mean more alumni will have access to its pages."
Kerber pointed out that the political and social upheaval in 1971 and the years leading up to the volatile 1970s, may have helped in the demise of the Muse. "My understanding is that it succumbed to the changing viewpoints of the day and to economics," Kerber said. "In the late '60s and the early '70s there were tensions over the war in Vietnam, civil rights, women's rights, and enthusiasm for purchasing a traditional yearbook waned, so the decision was made."
Kerber said other projects being considered for the digitization program at Lovejoy are past academic catalogues. "We regularly hear from graduates who are applying to graduate programs at other schools and the catalogues often give them a better description of the classes they took at SIUE than the brief course titles on their academic transcripts."
He also pointed out that the old Alumnus magazine, published for nearly 30 years, and The Observer, an internal newsletter, also published for nearly 30 years, are likely future candidates for digitization.
Dr. Samuel E. Lynch, founder, president and CEO of BioMimetic Therapeutics, will be the guest speaker at the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine (SIU/SDM) commencement at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 5. Dr. Lynch graduated from the SIU/SDM in 1985.
Forty-five students-some 18 with honors-will receive a doctor of dental medicine (DMD) at the event in Meridian Ballroom, on the first floor of SIU Edwardsville's Morris University Center. A reception for students, faculty and family members will follow the ceremony.
After receiving a DMD from the SIU/SDM and a certificate of specialty in periodontology-as well as a D.M.Sc. from Harvard Medical School in 1989-Lynch served on the faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine from 1989 to 1995. During this period he also served as the executive director of research and development at the Institute of Molecular Biology, a private institute affiliated with Harvard.
From 1995-1999 he served as vice president of a U.S. subsidiary of Daiichi-Sankyo Inc. with full P&L responsibility for the development, sales and marketing of that company's tissue regeneration products.
BioMimetic Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on the development of recombinant protein therapeutic-device combination products for the repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage, tendon and ligaments.
With nearly 100 full-time employees, BioMimetic markets one FDA-approved combination product for bone and periodontal regeneration and additional regenerative products for orthopedic applications in late stage clinical development in the United States, Canada and Europe.
In addition to his business accomplishments, Dr. Lynch has a strong scientific background. He is recognized worldwide as an authority in the biological principles and clinical applications of tissue engineering, combining protein therapeutics with tissue specific biomaterials.
He has published extensively, including some of the highest impact articles in the tissue repair and periodontal fields over the past 20 years, given hundreds of invited lectures, and has authored numerous issued patents, obtained National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, served as a reviewer on NIH study sections as well as for many scientific journals.
He also is the lead editor of both the first and second editions of Tissue Engineering: Applications in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontics (Quintessence Publishing, 1999; second edition, 2007).

"Da-Dum-Dun," a free family festival honoring three talented people who had an impact on-and were influenced by-East St. Louis, will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, in Room 2083 of Bldg. B on the Higher Education Campus, 601 J.R. Thompson Dr., East St. Louis. The Eugene B. Redmond Writers Club, affiliated with the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Department of English Language and Literature, is coordinating and sponsoring the event. Redmond is an SIUE professor emeritus
The trio-the late legendary trumpeter Miles Dewey Davis III, who was raised in East St. Louis; the late poet Henry Lee Dumas, who taught for SIUE in the city; and the late venerated choreographer/anthropologist Katherine Dunham, who taught for SIUE and who considered East St. Louis her artistic home-will be celebrated in jazz, with saxophonist Kendrick Smith and pianist Brian Harrison; poetry, featuring Michael Castro, Roscoe Crenshaw, Byron Lee, Susan Lively, Patricia Merritt, Darlene Roy, Lena Weathers, Treasure Williams, Jaye Willis and Redmond himself; and dance, with Theo Jamison, director of SIUE's East St. Louis Center for the Performing Arts.
In addition, "DavisDumasDunham," a multimodal exhibit from the EBR Collection and curated by Al Henderson II, will be featured.
Born in Alton in 1926 and raised in East St. Louis, Davis graduated from Lincoln Senior High School and joined Lincoln classmate Eugene Haynes Jr. at New York's Julliard School. A trumpeter whose career began with greats like Billy Eckstine, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, Davis is revered around the globe as a leader and re-shaper of musical tastes and styles. For several decades, his father, Dr. Miles Dewey Davis, practiced dentistry in East St. Louis and raised prize-winning horses and hogs on a family farm in nearby Millstadt. His sister, Dorothy Davis Wilburn, and brother, Vernon Davis, died in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Miles Davis died in 1991. Drumvoices Revue, a multicultural journal co-published by SIUE and the EBR Writers Club, has in past editions featured poetry and photographs honoring Davis.
A native of Sweet Home, Ark, Dumas was born in 1934 and grew up in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. He came to East St. Louis as a teacher-counselor for SIUE's Experiment in Higher Education (EHE) program in 1967. At EHE, he mentored local poet Sherman L. Fowler and was a colleague of Eugene B. Redmond, now his literary executor. Dumas wrote hundreds of stories and poems before his untimely death at age 33. Toni Morrison called him "a genius, an absolute genius." Patron saint of the EBR Writers Club, Dumas' writings has appeared in multiple issues of Drumvoices Revue. Among his posthumously published books are Ark of Bones, Knees of a Natural Man, Rope of Wind and Other Stories, and Echo Tree. His poetry about the city has appeared in Drumvoices.
For 30 years, Miss Dunham (1909-2006), a native of Joliet, performed in more than 60 countries in her lifetime. During the 1940s, she choreographed and/or starred in movies and stage productions such as Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky. Moving to East St. Louis in 1967, she taught with Dumas and Redmond in the EHE program and founded the Performing Arts Training Center at the old SIUE East St. Louis Center and now located on the East St. Louis Higher Education Campus (ESLHEC), 601 Jr. Thompson Blvd. Katherine Dunham Hall on the SIUE campus also is named in her honor. East St. Louis's adopted matriarch was the first African-American dancer to choreograph for the New York City Metropolitan Opera ( Aida) and has been the subject of several volumes of Drumvoices.
Founded in 1986 and chartered by Fowler, Roy and Redmond, the EBR Writers Club meets on the first and third Tuesday, September-May, in Room 2083 of Bldg. B in the ESLHEC. Trustees include poets-dramatists Maya Angelou and Amiri Baraka. For more information about the EBR Club or area cultural-literary activities, call (618) 650-3991 or write the EBR Writers Club, P.O. Box 6165, East St. Louis, IL 62201, or by e-mail: email@example.com.
The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees approved a tuition plan today for the 2010-11 Academic Year that calls for no increase in the 2009-10 in-state tuition rate or the tuition rate for the SIUE Graduate School. In other words, new undergraduate students and graduate students entering SIU Edwardsville this fall will pay the same annual tuition as new freshmen and graduate students paid in fall 2009.
In addition, the board also approved other tuition change proposals that would mean an increase for continuing undergraduate students and students in the accelerated nursing bachelor's program as well as students in the Schools of Dental Medicine and Pharmacy. The overall tuition proposal was passed during the board's regular meeting conducted on the SIU dental school campus in Alton.
Under the guidelines approved today, the annual tuition rate will be $6,201 for new undergraduate students entering this coming fall. Continuing undergraduate students will pay $5,227.50 in tuition for AY2010-11, an increase of $469.50 over AY09-10. Students in the SIUE Graduate School will pay $6,012 in tuition, the same as last year.
The new plan also calls for a $19,674 annual tuition rate for the SIUE School of Pharmacy, a $24,910 annual tuition rate at the SIU School of Dental Medicine and $17,286 over 67 credit hours for the accelerated BSN program. Pharmacy students currently are paying $17,466 annually, while dental students currently are paying $23,284 annually. Accelerated BSN students are currently paying $16,783.50 tuition over 67 hours.
The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees approved changes today in the Intercollegiate Athletics Fee and the Pharmacy Student Information Technology Fee, both at SIU Edwardsville. The fee changes were approved by the Board at its regular meeting conducted at on the SIU dental school campus in Alton.
Under the Intercollegiate Athletics Fee change proposal, a full-time undergraduate student (enrolled in 15 hours or more) for fall will pay $156.20 per semester as opposed to the current $146.20. In approving the athletics fee proposal, the board learned that the change will support the third-year operating expenses associated with the reclassification from NCAA Division II to Division I status and will move the program toward established fund balance targets.
The change in the SIUE School of Pharmacy student technology fee calls for $235 to be paid per semester compared with the $225 currently paid. The fee provides for laptop computers for each student along with risk insurance, replacement machines and replacement batteries, as well as the latest software and anti-virus protection while students are enrolled in the SIUE Pharmacy program.
The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees today approved fee-related changes that will affect the SIU Edwardsville campus for the 2010-11 Academic Year, including changes in the student fees for Information Technology and the Student Success Center. Other student fee changes approved include those for the Student Fitness Center, the Student Welfare and Activity (SWAF) and Facilities. The fee changes were approved by the Board at its regular meeting conducted on the SIU dental school campus in Alton.
Other University fees were not changed for the 2010-11 Academic Year: the Textbook Rental fee, the Morris University fee, the Campus Housing Activity fee and the School of Nursing Program fee.
For a full-time undergraduate student (15 credit hours), the Student Success Center fee will change from its current rate of $67.80 per semester to $72.60 per semester in the fall. The center provides 68,000 square feet of space for all student services in one central location, adjacent to the Morris University Center. The Information Technology fee will change from $6.45 per credit hour to $6.55, resulting in a full-time undergraduate student paying $196.50 annually (two academic semesters of 15 hours each) compared with $193.50 that is paid currently for two semesters. This fee helps defray the costs of supporting computing resources and networking infrastructure on campus.
Below is a chart of the changes in other student fees that were approved today:
Annually (for a full-time student enrolled in 15 hours or more during fall and spring)
FY10 FY11 Change
• Student Fitness Ctr. $152.60 $157.60 +$ 5.00
• Facilities Maint. $510.00 $525.00 +$15.00
The Board also approved changes in SIUE's housing rental fees and a change in the Housing Activity Fee, both for the fall term. Under the new plan, rental rates for a shared room at Woodland, Prairie and Bluff residence halls will be $2,485 per semester compared with the current charge of $2,345. A deluxe single room will cost $9,940 annually compared with $9,380 now. Housing rates at Evergreen Hall will be $5,280 annually for a shared apartment compared with $7,050 for a private apartment or a private suite rate of $5,980 annually. Meal plan fee changes for students in the residence halls will range from $80 more per year for Plan A (most popular) to $110 more annually for Plan B.
Upperclassmen residing in Cougar Village Apartments will pay $3,780 annually for a shared room compared with $3,670 paid currently per year, while a single room will cost $5,610 annually compared with $5,450 now. A deluxe single room will be assessed at $7,560 per year compared with $7,340 per year now. Families in Cougar Village, now paying $905 per month for a two-bedroom, unfurnished apartment, will pay $930 in the fall and $960 in fall 2011. The same family paying $1,030 per month now for a furnished two-bedroom apartment will pay $1,090 per month in fall and $1,125 in fall 2011. Families in a three-bedroom unfurnished apartment now paying $1,020 per month will pay $1,050 per month in fall and $1,080 in fall 2011; a three-bedroom furnished is now $1,190 per month and will be $1,225 in fall and $1,260 in fall 2011.
Nearly 100 mathematicians from around the globe will participate in the Sixth Conference on Functional Spaces, which will take place on the SIUE campus between May 18 and 22. The conference will focus on function algebras, Banach algebras and isometries of function spaces, among other topics. Department of Mathematics and Statistics Chairman and Distinguished Research Professor Krzysztof Jarosz is organizing the event, which has been held at SIUE since its inception.
"This conference will feature world experts, but also include young mathematicians, even graduate students," Jarosz said. "There will be more than 60 lectures taking place during the conference. As in previous conferences, we plan to publish the proceedings with the American Mathematical Society." Attendees from more than 30 countries have registered for the event, including Slovenia, Japan, South Africa and India, to name a few. On-campus housing will be provided. "In addition to providing research benefits for the mathematical community, the conference also will attract more graduate students to our campus and promote our University," he said.
The conference has received funding support from the National Science Foundation, SIUE's Graduate School, and the SIUE College of Arts and Sciences. For more information, visit the website: http://www.siue.edu/MATH/conference2010/index.html.

Sybilfelita Cox's love for children is the driving force for her unapologetically pushing past the limits. Winning a national teacher award was quite beside the point for the long-time Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Head Start/Early Head Start instructor. "I make it my business to go beyond what is required for the purpose of helping kids learn, think and do for themselves," said Cox, winner of the National Head Start Association Teacher of the Year Award 2010. The award was presented to Cox on May 6 at the Annual Head Start Award Ceremony and Dinner in Dallas, Texas.
The SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program provides children of low-income families with comprehensive services to meet their educational, social-emotional and health needs. Hazel Mallory is the program director.
Administrators at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville are introducing a new way to make recycling more convenient for the University community.
In an attempt to encourage recycling, the University's Department of Facilities Management has switched from a pre-sort recycling system, where items are separated by type plastic, aluminum and paper to a no-sort system. Items now are simply placed in recycle bins together. The University has contracted with Allied Waste Services to transport the recyclable goods off campus.
"The recycling now will be sorted off site," said Steve Brandenburg, assistant director for building services and grounds in the SIUE Department of Facilities Management. "It's much easier for our people to pick up one container instead of three. And it's easier for the faculty, staff and students to drop their recycled items into one container and not worry about whether they put the contents into the correct one."
Members of the University community still will be responsible for making sure recyclable items are properly dumped and rinsed, and have not been contaminated by non-recyclable items.
"We want people to know about this change because it will make it easier for them to recycle," Brandenburg said. "We don't want it to be a chore. We want it to be easy."
The system the University has implemented is one that is common in other universities and school systems, Brandenburg said, adding that it employee efficiency and hopefully will lead to an increase in recycled goods from campus.
Recyclable items include aluminum cans, soda, water and flavored beverage bottles and paper fiber items, including newspapers and inserts, cardboard, brown paper bags, magazines, catalogs, telephone books, office, computer, notebook and gift wrap paper, carrier stock including soft-drink and water-bottle carrying cases, mail, junk mail, envelopes and paperback books.
Items that cannot be recycled include plastic sleeves, waxed cardboard, metal clips, notebook spirals or binders, plastic cards, stick-on labels, unused stamps and hard-cover books.
Some changes that Facilities Management has made have resulted in a 40 percent increase in paper recycling in 2 months.

The advisory council of the Pharmacy Pain and Palliative Care Summit, conducted last fall by the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy, today released its 40-page list of recommendations about how to enhance pain management training for pharmacists. The recommendations were release at the 29 th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Pain Society in Baltimore.
According to Chris Herndon, an assistant professor at the SIUE School, the pain summit was the first of its kind within the profession. "These recommendations are geared toward how we prepare pharmacists, as well as those already practicing, to deal with pain and symptom management, a course of training not offered at all pharmacy schools," Herndon said.
"We have found that the SIUE School of Pharmacy is one of the few schools in the United States that offers specialized training in this area."
Herndon, who coordinated the summit at SIUE in October, explained that the pain summit advisory council is calling for enhancement of pain management training for all pharmacy schools and post-graduate training programs. "The recommendations are aimed at schools that are training pharmacists, state boards that license pharmacists and organizations that accredit pharmacy schools," he said. "Adopting these recommendations would result in pharmacists becoming more of an active participant in treating these patients. Through improved education, pharmacists have the opportunity to contribute to the alleviation of pain and related symptoms," Herndon said.
Herndon pointed out that especially in some lower income areas pharmacists have either refused to stock certain pain medications or provide these medications for fear of contributing to addiction. These situations have been documented throughout certain regions of the country," he said. "We have to be cognizant if someone is abusing the pain medication but we also have to recognize that a patient's use of pain medication doesn't necessarily mean they're a drug addict.
Herndon said the pain summit advisory council represents an impressive array of health care professionals as well as representatives from pain and palliative care related professional organizations, including physicians who are well versed in pain and palliative care. "We can now take these recommendations to state boards around the country and show how pharmacy training needs to be beefed up in pain management." Herndon said the advisory council's plan is to further the recommendations on an international basis. Visit the website- pharmacypainsummit.com-for the full list of recommendations.
The SIUE wastewater facility on the northwest edge of campus was nominated as one of the "Best Operated Wastewater Treatment Works" among 257 Group Two plants in the state. Group Two plants are those servicing smaller towns or facilities. SIUE was one of seven plants to be nominated for the award by the Illinois EPA (IEPA) Division of Water Pollution Control. The winner was the Village of Warren. "It was a great honor just to be nominated," said Robert Washburn, director of SIUE Facilities Management. "Members of our staff at the wastewater plant are dedicated to an efficiently run operation. Hats off to them."
According to the IEPA, "The purpose of the annual awards is to emphasize the relationship between adequate wastewater treatment and clean receiving waters and to give public recognition and encouragement to communities, their officials and the operating personnel who have operated their wastewater facilities in an especially effective manner." Inspection teams made up of Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators and IEPA representatives visited all of the nominated facilities in the Group Two category before choosing a winner.
The National Science Foundation has awarded $572,417 to the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville College of Arts and Sciences to purchase two, state-of-the-art microscopes to be used by SIUE researchers in Anthropology, Biological Sciences and Chemistry. The bulk of this grant will be used to purchase infrared and Raman microscopes. Grant project director Julie Holt, an associate professor of anthropology and chair of that department, said the new equipment will enhance research in a variety of areas. In addition to the two microscopes, the grant will be used to purchase published spectral libraries to aid in classification of materials.
"These are not the kind (of microscopes) used in high school biology," Holt explained. "Raman and infrared microscopy allows us to look at a sample and see its unique molecular fingerprint. This allows us to compare multiple samples and see what they are made of, what's in them, if they come from the same source, or if they have the same origin."
The microscopes should arrive by September; their care and use will be overseen by the SIUE Department of Chemistry, with access available to students in chemistry, biological sciences and anthropology. "This will provide students with an advantage in their studies," Holt said. "These microscopes will enable cutting edge research not just in Illinois archaeology and Native American studies, but more broadly they will enable study of archaeological and ethnographic materials from around the world that are curated by The University Museum at SIUE. Students engaged in this research will have a rare opportunity and will be building a solid foundation for their future, whether in an applied field such as cultural resource management or in a doctorate program elsewhere," Holt said. Once SIUE's new Science Complex is completed, the microscopes will be moved into the new building.
In the field of anthropology and archaeology, the microscopes will be valuable because they do not destroy the samples. Holt's research compares prehistoric pottery sherds with those from other archaeological field sites in Illinois. "In the past, archaeologist have made comparisons like this based primarily on the style of pottery," Holt said. "Raman and infrared microscopy will show if the clays and paints used to make the pots actually come from the same source-if they have the same molecular fingerprints, then they were made in the same place," Holt explained. She added that this type of examination allows researchers to tell the patterns of trade and migration in the prehistory of Illinois.
Assistant Anthropology Professor Cory Willmott also will put the new equipment to use, Holt said. "She will be looking at dyes and pigments on samples of Native American textiles and other artifacts from museums around the world to build new spectral libraries of historic color agents. This will enable museum professionals internationally to identify and date artifacts that have no provenance. For example, Willmott will try to discover if lead used in smoking pipes poisoned the 18th and 19th century Native Americans who used them.
SIUE Professors from other disciplines also will use the microscopes for various research projects. Assistant Biological Sciences Professor Luci Kohn will study heavy metal pollutants in animal tissues, which has applications for human health. Huichun "Judy" Zhang, assistant professor of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences will study metal pollutants in soils, while Chemistry Professor Michael Shaw will examine the HNO molecule and its identification and characterization. Shaw said that his goal is to improve the understanding of the physiological role of the HNO fragment. "HNO is a key molecule in biological processes. (It is) extremely elusive. (We are) going to try to make it and detect it before it disappears. (We) try to see what it looks like in biological processes," Shaw explained. He also is serving as co-director of the grant.
NSF grants are highly competitive with only a little more than 25 percent of the 40,000 proposals awarded each year. The interdisciplinary nature of the project was probably the reason why the SIUE grant was funded, Shaw said.
Holt pointed out that writing the grant was a collaborative process. "At the most basic level, our colleagues in Chemistry have promised to show us how to use the equipment and interpret the results. In addition, writing the grant showed us other ways in which our research interests intersect, opening the door for future collaboration." Shaw echoed Holt's thoughts on the ides of cooperation in the College of Arts and Sciences. "(This could be) the start of beautiful collaborations," he said. "The chemistry department has instruments that other departments don't know about and can be utilized with them."
The two-day Spring Commencement at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is scheduled for Friday, May 7, and Saturday, May 8. A total of 1,824 students are eligible to graduate during spring SIUE's commencement ceremonies for the School of Nursing, the School of Business and the Graduate School at 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 7; the School of Education and the Graduate School at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 8; undergraduates of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), 1 p.m. Saturday; and the schools of Pharmacy and Engineering, the Graduate School and CAS graduate students only, at 5 p.m. Saturday, all in SIUE's Vadalabene Center.
At 11 a.m. Saturday, May 8, the SIUE School of Pharmacy will conduct its annual hooding ceremony for graduating candidates in Meridian Ballroom, on the first floor of SIUE's Morris University Center. This will be the second class to graduate from the four-year program which began in 2005. The SIUE School is the only one in downstate Illinois. The hooding ceremony reminds students of the professionalism they must maintain throughout their careers. The graduating candidates also will recite the Pharmacist's Oath.
As part of its annual commencement tradition, SIUE will bestow the SIUE Distinguished Service Award this year upon Charles Tosovsky, president of Home Nursery Inc., an award-winning leader in producing field and container-grown nursery stock and roses. Ralph Korte, who founded Korte Construction Co., a highly successful firm in Highland that has grown to become a national company, will receive an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. Korte will receive the award and give the commencement address at the 9 a.m. and the 1 p.m. ceremonies on Saturday, May 8.
The SIUE Honorary Degrees and Distinguished Service Awards Committee actively solicits nominations from members of the University community to obtain a diverse pool of qualified candidates for these awards. A candidate for an Honorary Degree may be any person who has made significant contributions to cultural, educational, scientific, economic, social, and humanitarian or other worthy fields of endeavor.
Tosovsky has been a dedicated business owner and active community participant for decades. Home Nursery, founded in 1921, continues to be a family owned and operated business, serving a 12-state territory. Tosovsky is past president of the Illinois Green Industry Association (1980), a current member of the Edwardsville Rotary Club, and a sustaining member of the Greater Edwardsville Area Community Foundation, donating toward various funds and scholarships in support of the community.
His contributions are both present and future-oriented, as exemplified by the April 2008 establishment of the Chuck and Jean Tosovsky Family Fund for the Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) in support of research and special projects that will perpetuate the horticultural industry for future generations. A strong proponent of higher education who has contributed a great deal of time and support to SIUE for more than 30 years, Tosovsky has been a member of the SIUE Foundation Board of Directors since 1977, serving as president from 1995-1997, and is currently a senior director.
Korte served as chairman of the Board of the Korte Company, an eco-conscious construction company, until his retirement in November 2008. He launched the company in 1958 and subsequently enrolled at SIUE. A strong supporter of the value of higher education, Korte pursued his own education on nights and weekends through the SIUE School of Business, graduating with a bachelor of science in 1968. The Korte Company has grown into a nationally recognized industry leader with more than 1,600 projects completed across the nation, including office buildings, schools, munitions plants, stadiums and more.
Korte also has been involved in the creation and implementation of a number of new initiatives on the SIUE campus. Guided by his passion for learning and helping others, Korte was instrumental in promoting the idea for the Department of Construction Management in the SIUE School of Engineering. He believes business skills, combined with strong construction and design knowledge, are essential to creating leaders in the construction industry.
Subsequent projects included the construction of SIUE's Ralph Korte Stadium; the donation of the Ralph and Donna Korte Classroom in the SIUE School of Business; the creation of the Ralph and Donna Korte Fund for Leadership and Innovation in Business Education in 1999; and the launch of the SIUE Construction Leadership Institute in 2004. Four years later, the Korte Company established the Ralph Korte Endowed Scholarship for students entering the Construction Management Program at SIUE. He and his wife, Donna, also helped fund SIUE's B. Barnard Birger Hall; subsequently, a wing of the building is named in their honor.

The year 2010 is proving to be very busy for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Assistant Professor of English Language and Literature Adrian Matejka, who recently received the 2010 William and Margaret Going Award Endowed Professorship from SIUE's College of Arts and Sciences. He called it "an incredible honor" to be selected for the award. "Professor (Emeritus of English Language and Literature) Eugene B. Redmond caught me up to speed on the history of the award," Matejka said. "Professor Going was one of the founders of the University and of the Department of English, so I just hope that I can live up to all that the award entails."
William Going established an endowment to fund the professorship in honor of his wife Margaret and himself in 2000 . Going began his career at SIUE in its first year, teaching at what was then known as the Alton Residence Center on the old Shurtleff College campus, which was used by SIU for classes and is now the SIU School of Dental Medicine. He served as the first dean of Instruction and Academic Affairs before returning to teaching literature at SIUE until his retirement in 1980. He died in 2008.
The award recognizes faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences who have outstanding teaching and scholarly accomplishments and/or have engaged in creative activity. The award is open to all full-time, tenure-track faculty and carries a stipend of $10,000. The endowed professorship lasts for one year and awardees provide a public lecture at the end of the appointed time. The selection committee stated "Professor Matejka has done a tremendous amount of work in his specialty area and is gaining a national reputation. His plans to bring his work to public attention were outstanding and include readings at SIUE, Chicago, Atlanta and New York."
As part of the application process, nominees outline their planned future work. Matejka's will be "Poetry for the People," a series of visits to Historically Black Colleges and Universities where he will work with professors and instructors to create mini-seminars in poetry with small groups of students. as inspired by poet and educator June Jordan. Jordan asserted that poetry is for everyone, "…teachers, plumbers, lawyers, couch potatoes-anyone who uses language thoughtfully," Matejka said.
"Through these workshops and readings, I hope to help foster a different appreciation for poetry within the communities."
This has been a year of accomplishment so far for Matejka. He was nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the poetry division earlier this year. Among his other achievements, Matejka is a Cave Canem fellow and has won two Literary Awards from the Illinois Arts Council. His work has appeared, or is forthcoming in such literary journals, magazines, and anthologies including American Poetry Review, The Best American Poetry 2010, Crab Orchard Review, Gulf Coast, and Prairie Schooner.
"It is only through the support of my colleagues in creative writing and English, and the University as a whole, that I've been able to achieve what I have the past couple of years," he said. "Even though The William and Margaret Going Professorship Award is a bit different because it is bestowed directly by (CAS) Dean (Aldemaro) Romero and the College of Arts and Sciences, it is still emblematic of the community support I've received," Matejka explained.
Assistant department Chair Sharon James McGee commented, "Adrian's award-winning poetry collection, Mixology, swirls jazz and hip-hop rhythms with race, popular culture, and the changing mix of American life. His colleagues in the Department of English Language and Literature are very proud of his accomplishments, including most recently receiving the Going Award. It's unprecedented for an assistant professor to earn this award, and Adrian's work deserves this recognition."
Matejka earned an MFA from SIU Carbondale then came to SIUE in fall 2007, where he specializes in creative writing. For the spring semester he also is teaching a literature seminar focusing on the African Diaspora. "I enjoy teaching literature classes because they allow me to spend time thinking about the impact and influence writing can have, rather than thinking about how to craft words that impact or influence," Matejka explained. "Beyond that, we get to study texts that I wish I would have been exposed to as a student," Matejka added.
Along with teaching, Matejka also serves as poetry editor for Sou'wester, a national literary journal published by the department. He continues to work on a new collection, The Big Smoke. "It is comprised of persona poems in the voice of Jack Johnson, the first African-American World Heavyweight Champion," he said. "The collection is challenging because Johnson achieved the championship by beating Tommy Burns in 1909, only 13 years after the Supreme Court upheld Plessy vs. Ferguson," Matejka explained. That landmark case made racial segregation constitutional and began the "separate but equal" doctrine in the United States until it was overthrown in 1954 by Brown v. Board of Education, which paved the way for integration and the civil rights movement.
Upon hearing he was to be the 2010 award recipient, Matejka said he was humbled. "I still can't believe how fortunate I am to be a professor at this University. I get to spend my days talking with great students about things I love," he said.
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Alumni Association and Macy's will play host to a networking breakfast from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 25, on the 12 th floor of the Railway Exchange Building, 611 Olive St., St. Louis.
The free networking breakfast, one of a series the association has hosted in the region, will include a presentation from accomplished SIUE graduate Philesa White, vice president of Human Resources for MERS/Goodwill Industries. White earned a bachelor's in psychology from the SIUE School of Education in 2001.
"This will be the perfect opportunity to network with fellow alumni and enjoy a free breakfast of pastries, fruit and coffee before heading to work," said Steve Jankowski, director of SIUE Alumni Affairs. "There are more than 2,000 SIUE alumni working in downtown St. Louis," he pointed out, "and potential business opportunities could arise with other alumni at this event, so we recommend attendees bring business cards."
To register, visit the website: www.siue.edu/alumni, or call Katie Bennett, (618) 650-2762.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Solar energy project nearly finished in Durham
Sunday, December 8, 2013
DURHAM — Construction is nearly finished on a $410,000 solar energy project that will power three town buildings and sharply reduce the town's carbon footprint.
On its own, the Churchill rink project is one of the largest single installations in the Granite State, according to Steve Condon, a ReVision sales manager. The entire project, at 120 kW, ranks even higher. Each solar installation is intended to produce most of the power for each respective buildings. The buildings also can tap into the standard electrical grid to supplement energy from the solar panels. When the panels are producing more power than what's needed, it goes back out into the grid. Excess power produced by each array is converted into credits that can be used to offset future electricity needs. The ice rink, for instance, will produce much of its electricity during the summer when the rink isn't operating, Condon said. But the credits built up during those months can be used in the winter when energy use is highest and solar power generation is at its lowest.
So how does the financing work? Overcoming high up front costs is a key challenge for both the solar industry and potential customers. In many cases, tax credits and other incentives available to offset those costs are not available to nonprofits or municipalities. That's where ReVision steps in. The partnership lets Durham install a solar array without the initial costs. ReVision adds a new customer and markets its services while claiming available tax credits that reduce overall price. "There is no out-of-pocket cost for the solar installation," Condon said. "There is no change in their budget, they pay for the energy at the same rate, and every time they make a payment to us, it is like they are paying down (the cost of the project)." In the seventh year of the agreement, the town can buy the solar panels and equipment for $130,500. Based on an estimated electricity savings of $13,000 a year, Selig said it would take about a decade to recoup the investment. The panels are expected to last 40 years.
The town also has the option of continuing the current arrangement instead of buying the panels.
Library director Tom Madden said he's heard little feedback about the solar panels over the past several weeks despite intense interest in solar panels when the new library was announced. |

I worry about the hearts of FANS who are still struggling with internal emotional chaos as the media continues to jerk our hearts around USING Robsten. U KNOW these extreme Twilight obsessions were PREVENTABLE and THAT'S why many of us are STILL so crazy right now. Hollywood intentionally causing young, obsessed fans this kind of pain is wrong.

Acting in films, coordinating photography shoots, swimming in the ocean, and improving his cooking A Cejas spent his time "doing all the things I was depriving myself of for the last ten years, and I managed to have a real good time." But now Cejas is back, and Florida Shakespeare Theatre (FST) has him.
After a nationwide search for a head creative honcho for its new, state-of-the art facility in Coral Gables's Biltmore Hotel, FST has named Cejas its artistic director. "We're all thrilled that he's going to be directing again," notes FST executive director Ellen Beck. "I can't think of anyone else in town with the same directorial hand. He breathes life and sensitivity and real emotion into a work."
Regenerated by his time off, Cejas seems more than ready to tackle this new challenge, and he cites key factors that he believes will make artistic directing for the Shakespeare Theatre less enervating than his work for ACME. "Don't get me wrong," he insists about his experience with ACME. "The folks I worked with are all my friends and we get along fabulously." But without adequate funding, with a minuscule staff, and with rents on Miami Beach (where ACME originated) growing more prohibitive each month, Cejas and his crew could never get ahead financially. Over the years, working for free lost its charms. By contrast, at FST, Cejas points out, "there's a support staff in this company. There's an executive director, there's a development director, there's an administrative assistant. There's a permanent space that's probably the most plush and elegant and best-equipped little theater you've ever set foot in. And my job is to produce and direct."
The opening of FST's Biltmore space has been a long time coming. The company's old home A the Minorca Playhouse in the Gables A was trashed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992; the last full season FST managed to produce was in 1993-94, at Teatro Avante's El Carrusel Theatre. Last year saw a two-week run of Romeo and Juliet at the Colony Theater, and this spring the company produced Hamlet for the Dade County Public Schools. All the while Beck and her fifteen-member board (which includes former FST director Rose McVeigh) struggled to raise funds, secure construction services, and comply with building permits in order to set up shop at the Biltmore. Using seed money from a hurricane recovery grant, funds from a Metro-Dade capital development grant, and services donated by electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and plumbers, FST is finally scheduled to open its 164-seat theater on September 20 with John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation, directed by Cejas. (The space also features a courtyard area that will double as a lobby, as well as a 450- to 500-seat arena for mounting outdoor productions of Shakespeare.)
"We would like to originate new work," asserts Cejas, "and we would like to mount major revivals and move shows north, and I don't mean Broward. I don't want much. All I want is a Tony Award and a three-picture deal." FST's new relationship with veteran Broadway and Hollywood producer Arthur Whitelaw just might help Cejas realize his ambitions.
Whitelaw, producer of shows such as Butterflies Are Free and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, as well as works for HBO, PBS and NBC, moved to South Florida three years ago to work for public TV station WPBT. Like Cejas, he had taken a hiatus from the theater and was itching to get back to the stage. A mutual friend hooked him up with FST, with Whitelaw signing on as a coproducer in the Biltmore space; his company, Americas Theatre Group, will present shows in repertory with FST. "They'll do a play, we'll do a play, they'll do a play," Whitelaw explains. "We're all going to work on each other's shows. And there's a third unit that's part of this, too, in Dorset, Vermont. I'm on the board of American Theatre Works, a wonderful regional theater up there that's been going for twenty years. We'll start things here and then take them up there and then possibly to New York or to London, or we may develop something into a movie or for television down here. And we'll share where we each have strengths because we all add something to the mix that the others don't have."
Both Beck and Cejas agree that Whitelaw's expertise will be invaluable. "He's so experienced and we'll learn so much from him," Cejas says. "It's such a wonderful advantage." Adds Beck, "It's going to be an incredible asset to work with him."
Under Whitelaw's auspices, the musical You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown and its sequel Snoopy are slated to open around Thanksgiving and play in repertory through February. Other planned FST productions during the year include Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra in rep, plus Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape. For further information, call 446-1116.
