Danica talks dating driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Friday - 2/15/2013, 10:10am EST
AP Auto Racing Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Danica Patrick slid into her chair at NASCAR media day Thursday and promptly informed her audience it would be race questions only.
Yeah, right. The ensuing 20-plus minutes consisted mostly of questions about her relationship with fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Patrick dutifully answered them all. She and Stenhouse better get used to this, at least in the early going.
Patrick and Stenhouse confirmed in January they are dating, and the duo will be competing against each other this year for Sprint Cup rookie of the year.
"Initially, it was a little bit of a mental hurdle of like, 'We compete against each other,' " Patrick said of the relationship, which she likened to Romeo and Juliet. "It's like the Capulets and Montagues with (me in) Chevy and (him in) Ford, this just doesn't work. But you can't tell your heart who to like or not like. And so in the end, it ended up being something that I just didn't think was a big deal at all."
The two spent the last two seasons racing in the Nationwide Series and Patrick leaned on Stenhouse, the two-time Nationwide champion, for friendship and advice after her move to NASCAR. She said the relationship grew deeper, and they went public after she filed for divorce in early January from her husband, Paul Hospenthal. She and Hospenthal announced in November they were splitting up after seven years of marriage.
The 30-year-old Patrick rarely talked about her personal life while married to Hospenthal, but she was open Thursday about the 25-year-old Stenhouse.
"I'm just relaxed," Patrick said. "I feel happy. I feel like I am enjoying my life. It makes me smile to talk about him. I feel like I'm on 'The Bachelorette.'"
Stenhouse was equally as open, saying "she's hot!" when asked what attracted him to Patrick before adding "she loves to cook, and I love to eat." He admitted he'd never heard of the Capulets and Montagues, and refused to say who he would push on the last lap of a race at Daytona if Patrick was battling for the win with one of his Roush Fenway Racing teammates.
"I'm going three-wide," he smiled. "There's enough room at Daytona."
Although the two did not publicly interact Thursday, they are clearly content with their relationship. And because Patrick, who leads all celebrities with 12 Super Bowl ads, is used to being under the media spotlight Stenhouse said he can lean on his girlfriend for guidance as he finds himself suddenly scrutinized.
"I'm fine. The headlines don't say anything about me," he said. "I'm taking this seriously. But if I win a race, it might be 'Danica's boyfriend won a race.'"
The relationship is fodder for endless jokes and razzing from fellow competitors, and most were eager to dive into the topic Thursday.
"Pat on the back for him," said Ty Dillon.
"We can come up with plenty of jokes and how humorous it could be on the track and what each of them are thinking -- we'll all be watching with great curiosity, for sure," said Jimmie Johnson.
But if the two have an incident on the track? "That would be one heck of a show," Johnson said. "I'm sure ratings would go up quite a bit. You never know. Danica has shown she can get quite upset at times, so there could be something going on."
Patrick was ready for all the ribbing, and even joked about what would happen if Stenhouse wrecked her on the track.
"He better have a really good, 'I'm sorry,'" Patrick said with a wink.
The duo is moving forward with their relationship, with Patrick saying she planned to cook for Stenhouse on Valentine's Day and she packed an entire suitcase full of gifts for her boyfriend (he got her "fancy playing cards" he said). She also told reporters how after so many months of hanging out with Stenhouse, she had to push him to ask her out on an official date -- an account Stenhouse confirmed before sheepishly admitting he couldn't remember what restaurant they went to for the date.
Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski cautioned that things could get sticky with the happy couple.
"It's difficult because there's that part of you that thinks, 'Ah, this is a little hokie. Can we just focus on the on-track part?'" he said. "But you have to understand that as a race car driver, you make life decisions that put you in a position of danger all the time, 24-7, and that inherently makes you a unique person and the decisions you make in your mental process to get there unique. And whatever outside influences you have are going to affect how you perform.

Initiative Designed to Enhance Recognition of Medication Name and Dose for
High-Alert, Error-Prone Compounded Preparations
SEATTLE, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- PharMEDium Services, LLC, the leading provider of outsourced hospital pharmacy I.V. compounded solutions, has launched an enhanced labeling platform. The new design is intended to enhance quality of care in the OR while maximizing resources.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051202/PHARMEDIUMLOGO)
The company announced the initiative at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists' Summer Meeting and exhibition here.
The national initiative, the first of its kind in the outsourced compounding industry, was designed as a result of extensive research into current hospital labeling practices including a comprehensive failure and effects mode (FMEA) analysis around the overall readability of admixture labels and representation of critical drug information (e.g., drug name and concentration). This FMEA analysis led to the development of copyrighted, patent-pending warning statements that alert clinicians to appropriate dosing guidelines by drug category, said Rich Kruzynski, R.Ph., President, PharMEDium.
"The enhanced labeling platform aligns with the recommendations of national leaders involved in medication error-related quality and patient safety improvements, such as the Joint Commission," Kruzynski said. We are clearly taking strong steps to be part of the solution in improving resource utilization while supporting improvement in the quality of patient care."
The enhanced labeling will be implemented across all compounding
services during 2008, Kruzynski said. Initially, the new labels will apply
to four I.V. patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pain management drugs --
morphine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, and meperidine, as well as local
anesthetics for

An enterprise-class Linux distribution, based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS
editor's review
1 comment
CentOS is an open source distribution of Linux derived from and fully compatible with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. It features easy maintenance, suitable for long term use in production environments. This is the 5th branch of CentOS, which is still maintained and based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.read more
Available for download as installable-only DVDsThe CentOS operating system can be downloaded through Softpedia's secure servers or directly from its official website (see link above) as installable-only DVD ISO images, one for each of the supported hardware platforms, 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64).
Boot optionsAs mentioned, the distribution can only be installed on a local drive. Therefore, the user must first write the ISO images to either DVD discs or USB thumb drives in order to boot them from the BIOS of a PC. When prompted by the boot loader, the user must choose to install the operating system.
Graphical and easy-to-use installerBeing based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the CentOS distro features Anaconda, a graphical and easy-to-use installer that will require users to choose a language and keyboard layout, partition the disk and configure the network, choose which software to install, as well as to install the bootloader.
Uses GNOME Classic and top-notch applicationsGNOME Classic is the default desktop environment for both CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, providing users with a traditional session that uses a two-panel layout. Default applications include the Mozilla Firefox web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, GIMP image editor, Inkscape vector graphics editor and Vim text editor.
Bottom lineSumming up, CentOS is the perfect operating system for small and medium-sized businesses. Among some of its features, we can mention open management, commercial support (offered by a partner vendor), friendly environment for both users and package maintainers, open business model, long-term support of the core, as well as active development and community infrastructure.

My teenage daughter has learned the value in preparing for an exam. She understands that preparation begins early on, not while cramming on the eve of a big test. If my child understands the need to thoroughly study and absorb the material, I think our state decision makers should follow suit as it evaluates and restructures Medicaid for the 1.7 million Georgians who currently receive benefits.
Regarding the size of government, taxes and spending, both parties mostly just spout label babble. It is reminiscent of a World War II wind-up toy with a clockspring motor emitting annoying mechanical noises.
Dear Cokie and Steve Roberts: Your column, "Religious knuckle-rappers go after women" (April 28) was yet another anti-Catholic, "hit-em-below-the-belt" and "kick them while they're down" diatribe.
I've been following the discussions on raising fees for the Red Rabbit. The Hall County commission vote will be either 3-2 in favor or 3-2 against. It's that close. But only on the commission.
While the well-thought-out article in Sunday's Times regarding dangerous dogs made some excellent points (the need to socialize and train dogs, the cruelty of keeping dogs chains, the fallacy of discriminating against one breed) it left out one vital one: The need to educate, supervise and control children.
The economy is in bad shape, a lot of people are unemployed and help is needed for them to find jobs in which they are prepared. I noticed that many teachers are considering retiring this year in Hall County since the retirement system is making a change in policy (The Times, April 26) for future retirees.
I love it, love it, love it! Not enough money to paint the train, but the bridge to nowhere seem to have loads of money. For a possible site of offices and a hotel. When? I guess in 2025.
What better time to pray? Our country is in the midst of the process of electing a president and Congress members for the next four years. Our servicemen and women are deployed in the very dangerous countries of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other parts of the world. The economy of our country is teetering on collapse. Our state and community are struggling to work through the difficulties caused by the weakened economy.
Now that the election rosters are being resolved, get ready. We are about to be exposed to the worst money can buy. The purpose: to inundate voters with anything and everything that will compromise the thought process.
Even before our neighbor, Casey Turpin, was killed at the intersection of Ga. 365 and Howard Road, my husband and I referred to that intersection as the intersection of death. Trying to cross or enter Ga. 365 there is to take your life in your hands.
The Georgia Department of Transportation must install a traffic light at the Howard Road/Ga. 365 intersection. Every day I pass this section of road coming to work and going home. Every day, patrons of Racetrac and the YMCA jet out into traffic moving at speeds of at least 65 mph, holding and drinking hot coffee, not paying attention, congregating in the median, desperate to get back on the road.
The black community was understandably outraged about what happened to Trayvon Martin. But I always thought that the main point of the protests and public outcry seeking "justice" was that the killing needed to be properly investigated and the shooter arrested.
Trying to implement a new policy for public speaking during work sessions was a valiant effort by Craig Lutz - sadly the first and probably only thing beneficial he's contributed to the county during his stay as commissioner.
It is a shame that the DOT has allowed Ga. 365 to become a killing zone because the intersections where side roads dump crossing and left-turn traffic onto a four-lane, 65 mph highway do not meet the criterion for a traffic light.
Dear Mr. Givens: Did they not offer any history classes where you went to school?

After every lie, every crime against the American people, every crime against the world. After opening Americas borders to terrorists, criminals and beggars. After allying with al-Qaida and other sworn enemies of the American people. After bankrupting the U.S. government. After impoverishing the American middle class. After making a mockery of the U.S. Constitution. And after way more that we can list here, both Georgia U.S. senators, David Perdue and Johnny Isakson, trust President Barack Obama to hand U.S. sovereignty over to a corporate world government.
The piece by Professor Douglas Young in Monday's paper is typical of current political techniques to reduce a complicated issue to a two-word catch phrase: "pro choice" vs. "pro life."
After reading Douglas Young's guest column Monday, I have a few thoughts to share. Dr. Young once described his role as moderator of the Politically Incorrect Club at the Gainesville campus of the University of North Georgia as that of "devil's advocate." I wonder if this concept governs the tone of his recent article.
The planet is just about to spin out of control, don't you think? And, riding on it, we and our country are not doing much of anything to bring it under control even if we could.
Wal-Mart's new store on Thompson Bridge might have friendly words "Neighborhood Market" on its sign, but "Neighborhood Racket" would be a better name. A racket is an organized immoral activity for extortion; a dishonest scheme, trick, business or activity.
To the families of military veterans, men and women from every branch of the United States military and Merchant Marines on whose shoulders we now stand tall: We pause to remember that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom in country, community and family, safety and security.
I thought someone might respond to Judy Manke's letter of May 2, but since I haven't seen a response, I feel compelled to provide one.
Ah, don't you just love the sights and sounds of spring? The dew on the ground, the trees and flowers budding, and the fresh morning air? What a way to start your day!
Can you imagine what this country would do if confronted with a disease that caused 32,000 deaths in 2013 and 450 deaths so far this year in Georgia? We would expect all levels of government to mobilize, demanding billions of dollars to find a cure and a plan for prevention.
On more than one occasion, I have taken pen to paper to offer my criticism of your newspaper. It is expected that we subscribers will do that. When a newspaper does something that I feel is commendable, I will also offer my praise as well as extending my subscription another quarter.

Red light cameras reducing accidents 40%
By Charles Lane
There were nearly 740,000 citations in 2011, the last year for which data is available. That's one in three drivers.
The cameras have resulted in some $30 million dollars a year in revenue for both Suffolk and Nassau counties. Connecticut has flirted with the idea of installing red light cameras, but none so far.
WSHU recently had a looked at the data behind the cameras on Long Island and reports that, though people may resent paying the fine, they do make intersections safer.

GOP senator signals support for Hagel nomination
Several senators who voted to delay a vote last week - Shelby among them - are expected to allow the nomination to move forward next week.
Republicans have criticized Hagel for his past statements and votes, contending that he hasn't been sufficiently supportive of Israel and has been too tolerant of Iran. They also have challenged his support for reducing the nation's nuclear arsenal and his opposition to the Iraq war after his initial vote for the conflict.
His nomination also has become entangled in GOP demands for more information from the Obama administration about the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has described Hagel as "radical" and pressed for Obama to abandon the nomination. Graham sent a new letter to Hagel this week with fresh questions about Israel, after Hagel responded to a separate Graham letter on Israel last week.

My boys, 9 & 3, and myself have tried and like this game. The path of destruction gets harder with every level passed. It wud b fun if the cow cud have a shooting device, for defense. The device cud have limited ammo, that he cud find and 'catch', (like the stars), to fight off a few of the enemies. And I wish the bubble of protection lasted longer, like 10 seconds.

This story was absolutely beautiful. Even though the idea of the best-friend's-brother is a cliche, you did a wonderful job with it. I loved every second of it. Please continue writing, the world would be lacking otherwise!
| DragonOwl chapter 14 . 2/23/2014
I love this story so much! It was realistic without being too cynical and the way you paired the sadness from the beginning to the happiness at the end made it really stand out! I would say bittersweet, but the ending at the arrival of River definitely made it more sweet! I love it! I hope you find your own River too! I loved how your story showed both the good and bad side of love but still allowed me to hope and dream that things would turn out ok! Sorry for all the exclamation marks but I just love this so much :D

I suggest #2, I'd love to see that (unless you already have, and if that is the case, ignore me!). Since you had completed the story by the time I started reading it, I didn't leave a review at every chapter. But I loved it, I really, really did. Got a bit confused in the beginning where for a while you had Charlie talk about herself in the 3rd person and had Charlie start talking about Jeff and not Callie! Oh and Adam - what a prat! Obviously a very shallow man, though I liked how you portrayed him. Good character descriptions. Hooked me straight away, which is why I'm still awake at 2am instead of asleep. Woops!
| Weird Anon chapter 1 . 7/28/2013
YO! Not like you'll see my review or anything but I TOTALLY LOVE YOU. Someone just actually used one of my favorite songs "lines" for chapters and ''maybe" using it for an inspiration. I-I. *speechless* GOOD WORK :3

I think about this on a Friday evening, as I take a slower than usual stroll along Alki beach, delightfully punctuated by passers-by, giggling, politicking, wooing, and sharing dreams in many languages. Salsa music strikes up near the Statue of Liberty and my husband Joseph and I stop for a few dances. We close the night by stopping at our favorite Ethiopian restaurant for dinner and use Facebook to make weekend plans for dim sum. Internet and smart phone applications keep us actively engaged in the world. But technology and media will never substitute for the life-changing experiences that travel and living among strangers can offer. We learn how to listen and advocate. We learn different historical experiences and how they shape what is important to someone else and how that might be different from what is important to us. And hopefully, we learn how to survive independently and lead collaboratively. T hen reflecting on my educational journey, the one thing I wish I had taken advantage of was the opportunity to study abroad. All through college, money was an issue and studying abroad seemed like a luxury. I also felt that challenges facing our communities here at home were more pressing than those overseas. In retrospect, I realize that the academic, career, and personal benefits gained from studying abroad are immense, and that we are better able to understand issues at home when looking through an international lens. Through studying abroad, students learn first-hand about history, arts, culture, and languages. They acquire crosscultural communication skills and an awareness of diverse business practices that are increasingly vital to achieving success in today's workforce. They gain self confidence and a high level of independence. There are several programs affiliated with the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity (OMA&D) that provide a springboard for students to benefit from these life-changing experiences. Last summer, some students documented their studyabroad journeys through a blog on the OMA&D website. The reflections and observations they make on the blog (http://depts.washington. edu/omad/omad-student-blog/) demonstrate the profound effect these programs have. W once aroUnd caMpUs spraTLens earn LaUreaTe sTaTUs for UW gifTs thaddeus Spratlen, UW Professor Emeritus of Marketing, and lois Price Spratlen, '76, University ombudsman Emeritus and Professor Emerita of Psychosocial & Community health Nursing, have been recognized as laureate level donors for their lifetime giving to the University of Washington that topped $1 million. "We are honored and proud to be able to share this recognition with our colleagues and friends regarding our reasons for and the goals of our career-long pattern of giving," they said. Thaddeus joined the UW faculty in 1972 and retired fully in 2006. Lois, who received her Ph.D. in Urban Planning from the UW in 1976, took a tenure-track position in nursing that year. She retired from her Ombudsman position in 2008 and from her faculty position in 2010. "For all of our years here," they said, "we have made giving back to the UW a top priority. We emphasize giving back because we experienced most of our career success here as a result of having UW resources and opportunities." Two Thaddeus Spratlen Endowments at the Foster School of Business support the Business and Economic Development Center, which provides assistance to businesses in under-served and economically distressed communities through project-based student learning, and a diversity scholarship. "In these and other ways, our goals of making a difference by helping deserving students and investing in business development can be realized at the same time that our giving supports the diversity-related teaching, research and service mission of the University," the Spratlens said. INTELLECTUAL HOUSE RECEIVES $3.7 MILLION A total of $3.7 million from state funding and an anonymous gift have been received to support the building of the Intellectual House at the University of Washington. The longhouse-style facility will be built on the UW Seattle campus in parking lot N6 near McMahon Hall. Scheduled to open in 2014, the 19,000-square-foot facility will provide a multi-service learning and gathering space for Native American students, faculty, staff and others from various cultures and communities. The budget for the Intellectual House is $10.6 million. The UW pledged $5 million in matching gifts, and the project also received a Coast Salish name gifted by the late Vi Hilbert, an esteemed elder of the Upper Skagit Tribe. Previously, the state provided $300,000 in pre-design funding and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation announced that it will donate lumber worth an estimated $91,000 for the new buildilng. On Sept. 10, the UW hosted the fifth annual 2011 UW Tribal Leadership Summit at Mary Gates Hall Commons. The event was a gathering of leaders from the UW and regional tribal governments who meet in the spirit of the Centennial Accord to promote partnerships, advance mutual goals, and address issues facing tribal communities.

It is one of the ways the UW links students to the world and helps launch careers for future leaders. Closer to home, how can we simulate the studyabroad experience? Many of us already do, by working, volunteering, or studying in different communities locally. Join us on Homecoming weekend for this year's MAP Bridging the Gap Breakfast and be inspired by examples from this year's distinguished alumni and student scholarship winners. I will be there, and my son will be listening.

Seize any travel opportunity that may present itself and create your own educational experience. Or better yet, support current students by contributing to the OMA&D Foreign Student Activities Fund. With the rising cost of tuition, students need financial assistance now more than ever. The Del Rio Global Citizens Scholarship and the McDermott Endowed Award for Study Abroad are also examples of funds that make it possible for students to broaden their world views by traveling abroad. In an expanding global economy, our communities will continue to benefit as OMA&D and the University of Washington provide students and future leaders with a heightened sense of our interconnected world. UW To hosT naTionaL science conference the UW chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) will host the SACNAS national conference next fall. Anthony Salazar, GO-MAP Graduate Diversity program specialist, sees next October's conference, "Science Technology and Diversity for a Healthy World," as a tremendous opportunity. "We hope to be able to showcase the Pacific Northwest as a grand hub for science and technology to our guests," Salazar says. "The ideals and ideas of innovation and diversity are at the heart of what we do here at the University of Washington." The selection of the UW and Seattle as the conference host is a testament to the growth of the UW's SACNAS chapter, which was founded only four years ago. The group is composed of undergraduates, graduates and postdoctoral students and provides its members a dynamic support network. The UW chapter of SACNAS has been integral in coordinating diversity efforts on campus by participating in panel discussions with several science departments about how to attract more minority students to the sciences. The group has also worked with high school students. In 2010, the group was one of five SACNAS chapters nationwide to earn the distinction as a Role Model Chapter for its outreach efforts. In 2009, the group was selected as Chapter of the Year for chapters in the 10- to 19-member category. 5 viewpoints ShEilA EDWARDS lANgE, Ph.D., '00, `06 Vice President for Minority Affairs Vice Provost for Diversity You can support the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity by going to: http://uwfoundation.org/diversity 4 viewpoints horiZons By JULIE GARNER Broadening Opportunities abound for students of color to study abroad--and reap the benefits UW students in Ghana in 2011. Photo courtesy Ryan Trinidad. "I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself." --James Baldwin the late African American writer James Baldwin put his finger on a central truth long understood by programs and departments throughout the University of Washington: Studying abroad and learning about other cultures can lead to a better understanding of oneself--and the world. Since 1995, the Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity has collaborated with UW faculty, staff and UW International Programs and Exchanges (IPE) to ensure that students who are economically disadvantaged and/or are from underrepresented minority backgrounds can secure funding and take advantage of study-abroad opportunities. Dr. Gabriel Gallardo, Associate Vice President of Student Services and Academic Support Programs for the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity, and his team reach out to students of color who think travel and learning abroad is not an option for them. "The message I have for students is, `Don't think you can't do this.' Cost, family concerns, anxiety, and lack of awareness of opportunities to study abroad should not be barriers," Gallardo says. "We have worked with IPE to increase the diversity of students participating in these programs." Gallardo brings an unusual and deeply personal perspective on what it means to be immersed in a foreign culture. In 1976, Gallardo and his family fled their native Chile during the military dictatorship of Gen. 6 viewpoints Augusto Pinochet. Over a period of 17 years, Pinochet's government was responsible for the murder and torture of thousands of Chileans. At the age of 12, Gallardo found himself in the U.S., contending with a new language and culture not to mention the beginning of his teenage years. "As you can imagine, it was very difficult," Gallardo says. One day, Gallardo hopes to take students to Chile. He says it isn't unusual for students to study abroad in their country of origin to reconnect with family and friends--something referred to as a "heritage-seeking" experience. On a larger scale, one of Gallardo's priorities is to make students of color aware that funding for study-abroad experiences does exist. He explains that by putting together funding packages from several sources, the UW is working hard to remove financial barriers to travel. "Cost is a big issue for our students," he says. Currently, OMA&D is particularly involved with six study-abroad programs. Destinations include Rome, where the UW operates its Rome Center. The trip is a collaboration between the Classics Department, IPE and OMA&D. "We're there during spring break each year and we take 12 students for 10 days," Gallardo explains. "The out-of-pocket cost for students is about $500." Trips to Brazil are organized in partnership with the Department of Anthropology. The focus there is exploring issues of gender, race and development. This past summer, in a collaboration between the School of Social Work and OMA&D, students spent four weeks in Ghana, a new destination, studying the Sankofa experience: "Exploration of Race and Identity Development in a Cross Cultural Exchange." Sankofa is a Ghanaian expression that means "one must return to the past in order to move forward." There are also trips to Barbados, Tahiti and Japan. "We looked at study-abroad efforts and saw that students were going to traditional places like Europe and Asia," Gallardo says. "We said `Hey, there are unexplored regions we need to develop.' For example, the Pacific Islands had very few programs," he said. Last January, 14 Jackson School of International Studies students and two Inuit participants traveled to Ottawa, Canada, where blizzard conditions provided a dramatic backdrop for meetings with indigenous leaders, Arctic policy analysts, international trade specialists and diplomats. Sara R. Curran, Chair of the Jackson School's International Studies Program, says "a short-term, research or study-abroad component incorporated into some of our Task Force classes demonstrates to students the fundamental need to understand the complexities of local contexts for better addressing global policy challenges." Julie Gurley, U.S. Special Envoy to the Arctic Council, recognized the implications of the students' policy recommendations, stating, "The government needs smart, energetic, creative thinkers to make the best policy for the United States, and foreign policy is not something most college undergraduate students think about for their future careers." Peter Moran, the UW's Director of International Programs and Exchanges, says his program is keenly interested in increasing the number and diversity of students who study abroad. Alejandro "Val" Espania, who manages counseling services for the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity, helped coordinate the addition of Tahiti to the UW's destination list. Espania, a native of Hawaii, had a personal interest in island culture so the proximity of Tahiti to Hawaii made it a natural choice. The summer 2011 Tahiti trip is the third OMA&D trip Espania has organized. All of the trips have involved collaboration with the faculty and staff of the Comparative History of Ideas program. Tahiti was the first study-abroad destination for Seattle native Corddaryl Woodford, '10. He also studied in South Africa and Rome through UW programs. The Tahiti trip was an eye-opener. "I'm an inner-city boy, so going to a small island like Tahiti changed my perspective on life," he recalls. Life on Tahiti, he explains, is lived unwired and unplugged. He researched the cell-phone situation before he left the states and found that with the exception of "hot spots" accessed with only one kind of phone, there really was no Internet access. So instead of using Facebook, Woodford had to connect in person. The result? He had "real, lengthy conversations with indigenous people about their lives," he says. Woodford was confronted with a different way of life in Tahiti, where the locals place more importance on family than material things. Espania explains: "They were unable to Twitter or text. When we returned, I got a Facebook message from a student who had gone to Tahiti. She said, `I see things differently because of the trip, Val. I have these friends that I always go to the mall with and now I don't want to go. I learned that I don't have to have that be part of my life'." Julie Garner, '10, is a Viewpoints staff writer spiriT reneWaL In 2009, student Renata Cummings transferred to the UW from Seattle Central Community College. And she wasn't very happy about the way things were working out. "I was the only Black American in all of my classes. I felt isolated because day in and day out I never saw anyone who looked like me," she says. She wanted a change of scenery. So she was thrilled when announcements for Summer Exploration Seminars abroad came out. An educational trip to Tahiti titled "Mixed Race Experiences in the USA and French Polynesian (Tahitian) Contexts 2009" seemed like the answer to her prayer. She applied right away. "I desire a life filled with many different people, interacting openly and without fear," she wrote in her application. "Fear can make differences such as race explode into things like racism." Off she went to the South Pacific. At first, she was bowled over by the heat and the humidity. But in short order, the island's natural beauty became a source of pleasure --as well as the educational experience she was getting there. Getting outside the classroom brings healing, inspiration Sitting beneath fruit trees with an ocean view, Cummings and her fellow students explored the meaning of colonization as well as topics such as identity development, duality and success without conquest. "It really made me appreciate education outside of a classroom," she says. "I thought about how lucky I was to have people like my classmates, mixed like me and not like me, but always with me. The wounds I'd formed by being the only black student in my business classes were healing." One day, Cummings and her fellow classmates piled into a van for an outing. When she asked one of the program guides where they were going, she was startled when he replied, "To jump off a bridge." Moments later, the van stopped several feet from a bridge over a river. "[The two guides] did what no one expected: They jumped off of the bridge. And then I jumped.' " What would Cummings tell students thinking about studying abroad? "I say, `Jump. Maeva I Te Oro'!" (Welcome to Life, in Tahitian) This story was adapted from a letter Cummings wrote to the trip guides. 7 viewpoints SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDE MONEY FOR TRAVEL ABROAD Through the generosity of Washington state, individual donors and donor organizations, the UW offers students funding for studyabroad opportunities from a variety of sources. Here is just a sample of the scholarships and grant awards currently available: The Del Rio Global Citizen Scholarship provides funds to students for foreign study and research. The scholarships provide financial support to students in the UW's Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) so that they can study abroad. The founder of the fund, Nelson Del Rio, '84, was an EOP student at UW who graduated in the top 10 of his class, went on to study law at Harvard and became a successful businessman and philanthropist. "A lot of people think it's reading and writing that will change young peoples' futures but I think it's vision and hope that changes and broadens a life and travel will do that," Del Rio says. He says he takes that philosophy "right to my home." His son, Nelson Del Rio Jr., is the youngest person ever to travel via dog sled to visit the North Pole, according to Del Rio. In 2008, Katherine E. McDermott established the Roseanna Wabel McDermott Endowed Fund for Study Abroad in honor of her grandmother. McDermott, who is presently teaching in Mongolia, says her grandmother believed strongly in the power of education to transform peoples' lives. The Bonderman Travel Fellowship is available to graduate students (including those in the Law and Business Schools as well as other graduate and professional programs); undergraduate students in the University Honors Program (Interdisciplinary, Departmental or College Honors); and students in UW Tacoma's Global Honors Program. Bonderman Fellowships give students an opportunity to engage in independent exploration and travel abroad. Each Bonderman Fellow receives a $20,000 award for travel. UW undergraduate students who are Husky Promise- and Pell Grant-eligible and also Washington residents may apply for the GO! (Global Opportunities) Scholarship, funded by the Washington state Legislature. This competitive scholarship helps academically promising undergraduate students with significant financial need gain access to international learning opportunities. Each year, more students are funded for study-abroad opportunities through the GO! Scholarship than through any other source. The Fritz Undergraduate Scholarship is funded by the Chester Fritz Endowment. This academically competitive scholarship provides funding to students majoring in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

For more than 100 years, the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies (JSIS) has served as a gateway for undergraduate and graduate students to learn about the world beyond Seattle. According to JSIS Director Resat Kasaba, � our world is once again being pulled in opposite directions. On the one hand, distant parts of the globe are being linked to each other through trade, investment, migration, and communication on a level that the world has never witnessed before. At the same time, relations among people are becoming defined with growing suspicion and outright hostility to an alarming degree. A Jackson School education encourages students to build an indepth and historically informed understanding of world areas, civilizations, and global forces and trends, and to engage others through study abroad, foreign language learning, and rigorous academic and intellectual pursuits. Jackson School students, faculty, and staff take this commitment to international education seriously. Funding, in the form of various scholarships, such as the Leslieanne Shedd Memorial Fund and the Dorothy Fosdick Memorial Intern- Jackson School Director Resat Kasaba. � FOCUS ON MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION REAPS SUCCESS Anyone interested in multicultural education in the U.S. is familiar with the name of Banks. James A. Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks are UW education professors who wrote a seminal work in the field of education--the Handbook of Research on Multicultural Education, the first book of its kind ever published. James Banks is the Director of the Center for Multicultural Education at the UW, while Cherry Banks is a professor of education at UW Bothell and a faculty associate of the center. At a time when evidence-based practices are driving what happens in the classroom, the Banks' contribution to the field of education is important for every public-school educator, especially as society becomes more diverse. Multicultural education aims to create equal educational opportunities for all students by changing the school environment so it will reflect cultures and groups within a society. Cherry Banks is chairperson of the Diversity Council at UW Bothell, where seven areas in the campus' 21st Campus Initiative have been identified--and increasing diversity is one of them. "UW Bothell is one of the most diverse campuses in our state. We have 36 percent students of color now. We are very proud of that and we'd like it to become even more diverse," Banks says. The campus' Education program added a number of courses focusing on multicultural education. The Diversity Council plans to implement a diversity minor that will be available to all students beginning this fall. Faculty from diverse backgrounds will join students in exploring the historical and theoretical aspects of diversity. In addition, there will be an experiential course involving work in the community in public schools, health or social-services sites. Moreover, UW Bothell is working with Rainier Beach, Cleveland, Franklin, Garfield, Roosevelt, Chief Sealth, Ingraham, West Seattle, and Mariner and Everett high schools as part of its Dream Project to foster applications for admissions from students from underrepresented communities. The program conducts workshops on essay writing and the college-application process, and holds college awareness days. In these schools, applications to the UW Bothell have risen a whopping 235 percent. Cherry Banks pointed out "that at the Bothell Campus, we define diversity broadly to not only include students of color, but also veterans, students from economically diverse backgrounds and students who are the first in their family to go to college."-- Julie Garner Cherry Banks 8 viewpoints ship Fund, allow students to pursue diverse internship opportunities.

And yet, on May 16, 2011, Welts--then president and CEo of the NBA's Phoenix Suns--did exactly that in an interview with The New York Times. His groundbreaking revelation rocked an industry long committed to an informal, "Don't ask, don't tell" modus operandi both on the court and in the highest echelons of management. To date, the only man associated with pro basketball to come out has been John Amaechi, a former NBA player who disclosed his sexual orientation after his career was over. Welts--who left the Suns in September to move to California to be with his partner--called The New York Times because he wanted to "start the conversation" about homosexuality in team sports, and his courage struck a nerve. To date, he has received thousands of emails and not one has been negative. "It's been overwhelmingly positive and humbling," he says. 12 viewpoints Rick Welts' personal journey began in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, where he grew up as the son and grandson of a long line of Huskies. His grandfather, Richard (Robin) D. Welts, graduated in 1924 with a degree in history and in 1932 with a law degree; his parents and sister are also alums. "I was going to Husky football games for as far back as I can remember," he says. As a UW student in the early 1970s, Welts experienced personal crises over his sexual orientation."My impressions of gay people came through the media. They were portrayed stereotypically as flamboyant. I didn't feel anything like that and that was part of the isolation and discomfort," he recalls. But that ended when Welts met a fellow student who lived in a fraternity. The young fellow liked sports and was gay. "There was a sense of exhilaration that there were other people out there like I was," Welts says. After graduating with his bachelor's degree in communication, Welts joined the staff of the Seattle Supersonics, where he served as public relations director. (As a teenager, he had been a Sonics ball boy.) He left the Sonics to join the NBA office (where he helped develop All-Star Week- end) and eventually became the president and CEO of the Suns. Never during his career in professional sports did he reveal his orientation to colleagues. One sad result was that he experienced the death of his longtime partner, Arnie Chinn, '78, without the support of his many friends and colleagues. Today, Welts can feel "authentic" and be who he really is. It's a good feeling when he comes home to Seattle and the UW, a place and school he loves. For a longer profile of Rick Welts, go to UWalum.com/Columns and click on September 2011. Julie Garner,'10, is a Viewpoints staff writer lei Ann Shiramizu, '82, enjoys wearing many hats. She's a goodwill ambassador, a fashion maven, a freelance writer and a community developer. As owner of Momo, an eclectic retail store in Seattle's Chinatown International District, she also sells many hats--as well as stylish scarves, sweaters, and skirts. Momo is a happy destination for shoppers seeking comfortably sophisticated clothing, distinct jewelry, and quirky collectibles. Fashion is fabulous, but Shiramizu wants Momo--which means peach in Japanese--to serve a much higher purpose. Momo represents the new face of Seattle's Japantown, historically known as Nihonmachi. Nihonmachi had long been a thriving JapaneseAmerican cultural and commercial center until the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. In the days and months that followed, nearly 10,000 King County residents of Japanese descent were abruptly sent off to internment camps with little more than a suitcase. They were forced to leave behind their belongings, their businesses, and their way of life. Shiramizu gets choked up when she thinks about those affected families, and says their plight motivates her to diligently promote neighborhood businesses and activities. "Families had nothing to come home to," she says. "Most relocated to the suburbs so they could get a new start. Today there is new growth, but we are retaining history." Shiramizu moved to Seattle in 1979 to attend the University of Washington and was initially "Today there is new growth, but we are retaining history." attracted to what is now known as the Chinatown International District because the area's compelling sense of community reminded her of her home state of Hawaii. "The UW gave me a firm foundation which helped me to succeed," she says. "I am so proud to be a UW graduate." She holds a bachelor's degree in communication. After three decades of living and working in the Northwest, Shiramizu still exudes an easy-going island attitude. Hawaiian influences can also be seen throughout Momo, which Shiramizu and husband Tom Kleifgen opened in 2007. Shiramizu knows her neighbors well and has an affinity for making connections. "I love helping shoppers find something special, but I am also a concierge and an ambassador," she says. "People often come to the ID seeking cheap good food, but once here I help them discover the area's other offerings." Shiramizu often encourages her shoppers to visit the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, stop by the century-old Panama Hotel for a cup of tea or check out a nearby gallery. She also knows the best place to get a heavenly foot massage. "Some things would surprise you," she says. "I love to tell people about the pinball museum."

When i first started teaching in the mid-1970s, I took groups of students from the Central District on field trips to new and exciting places they had never visited--and they were all in our own backyard! We went to Tillicum Village. The Space Needle. The UW campus. Many had never been on a boat before or walked around our gorgeous campus. Even though these places were here in Seattle, to these students it could just as easily have been Timbuktu because they never had the opportunity to explore outside their neighborhood. This was a Summer Work Exploration Program sponsored by the United Way and it won a national award from the National Alliance of Businessmen for its unique approach to motivating students to further their education after high school. These seemingly small outings around town turned out to be a big deal for these kids and showed that travel is exciting and important. I still get choked up thinking about it. As an educator and proud UW alum, I know first hand that education changes lives--and that some of the best education you can get does not happen in the classroom; it occurs outside of your comfort zone, when you are exploring some place new, whether it's in your backyard or on another continent.

PHOTO BY L av Ie PHOTOgrAPHY. neW Life for The MUraLs All 24 original artworks to be relocated into new facility By JUliE gARNER Affairs and Vice Provost for Diversity. But there was a problem. "Our initial analyses was that taking them out and putting them in the the story of how and why the UW's Ethnic Cultural Center (ECC) was founded during the tumultuous early 1970s is extremely important to the UW's communities of color. Thus, alumni, students, faculty and staff of color will celebrate in January 2013 when the new Ethnic Cultural Center opens its doors, especially because it will contain the 24 murals that adorned the walls of the original ECC. The murals, which range in size from 3 to more than 300 square feet, tell the story of the struggle for equal educational opportunity at the UW. Many depict the social and political events that led to the creation of the old building, which was erected specifically to serve students of color as a "home away from home." When plans were formulated to build a new, larger ECC for the 64 groups that now use it, the first question that needed answering was: What will happen to the murals? "When we started the project, the murals were always in the forefront of our minds," says Sheila Edwards Lange, '00, '06, Vice President for Minority Our University is working to create more opportunities and financial support for students to pack a suitcase and go learn about a new culture --and feel the amazement that travel and interaction with people from a different way of life can bring. "It's not just the university's history; it's Seattle's history, too." new building would not be cost-effective because asbestos was present," she adds. Removing asbestos requires an abatement contractor and a long, expensive process. A plan to capture digital images of the murals and place them on panels outside the new ECC was shelved when stakeholders advocated for retaining the originals. UW leaders decided to revise their plan and bring the murals over. "Preserving the murals ensures the legacy of diversity efforts at the UW," Lange explains. "But it's not just the university's history; it's Seattle's history, too." The new plan calls for the murals to be cut out along with each wall in order to minimize asbestos issues. The old murals--as well as new art to be created by students--will be placed in the new building's public and meeting spaces. Four of the largest murals will be affixed to the roof monitors. The University has retained BOLA Architecture and Planning to work on the murals project. Part of that included interviews with the four artists whose work will be featured on the roof monitors. All of the murals have now been properly catalogued.

Chargers to open '11 with Vikings at home
Monday, Dec. 5 at Jacksonville | 5:30 p.m., ESPN
Last time Chargers played in the Jax was Norv Turner's 10th game as coach. Rivers' passer rating in the first nine games under Turner was 77.9. In the 55 games since, beginning with that Nov. 18, 2007 contest, it is 101.9.
Dec. 11 Buffalo | *1:15 p.m., CBS
Shawne Merriman comes back to Qualcomm. He'd be more excited if A.J. Smith were suiting up for the Chargers.
Dec. 18 Baltimore | *5:20 p.m., NBC
Ravens won on Ray Lewis' last-minute, fourth-down backfield tackle in last meeting here, in 2009.
Saturday, Dec. 24 at Detroit | *1:05 p.m., CBS
The Motor City's population is at its lowest point in 100 years. Unfortunately for Chargers, its football team appears it might be better than it has been in this millennium.
Jan. 1 at Oakland | *1:15 p.m., CBS
Two blocked punts, lost fumble at the 1, lost fumble at the 19 and lost fumble returned for a touchdown last October in Oakland gave the Raiders their first win over the Chargers since 2003 (13 games).
All times Pacific. * Subject to flexible scheduling.
All home games subject to blackout.

Alcoholic at age 18Right before I turned 19 I drank 13-20 beers a day, my Mom and step dad are alcoholics and always have a 30 pack. They don't know if they drank a certain amount everyday, so it was very easy to get away with. Plus if they did not have any for some strange reason, I had older friends that bought beer for me. I drank the 13-20 beers everyday for 8 months, the reason I put an end to my alcoholism is that I had stopped eating for almost 5 days, and one night I started throwing up blood and it scared me. I didn't realize I was hurting myself, I never wanted the physical pain, and it came along because of my foolish way out of reality.

I'm not who most think I am.I preach of always being honest to every person I meet, but it's not entirely true.

When happiness showed up again, we all became buddies, I know I shouldn't keep people around that don't care, but that didn't matter much when I was happy. After a while, depression came back around, and it's been here for probably a month now, but I'm afraid to turn to my friends for help, so I anonymously post on sites like this. I can't trust people I know face to face, so I lie to everyone, a big lie at that. If… [more]

The FTC has reached a settlement with UPromise, Inc., a membership reward service aimed at helping save for college, to resolve charges that company allegedly used a web-browser toolbar to collect consumers' personal information, without adequately disclosing the extent of personal information collected. Under the settlement, UPromise must destroy all data it collected under the "Personalized Offers" feature of its "TurboSaver" toolbar, clearly disclose its data collection practices and obtain consent to collection of personal information from those using the toolbar before it is installed or re-enabled, and must further establish a comprehensive information security programming, requiring biennial independent security assessments, for the next 20 years.
UPromise is a website that allows users to save money for college by getting rebates offered by partner merchants. As part of that website, UPromise offers a downloadable "TurboSaver Toolbar" that highlights UPromise partner merchants in search results, and allows users to get "personalized offers" based on websites visited. UPromise stated that it "automatically encrypts . . . sensitive information" and "infrequently" collected personal data "inadvertently," and that any personally identifying data would be deleted prior to transmission.
