Advanced educational opportunities abound in the Monadnock Region through State and private colleges, continuing education and specialized training and development organizations.
Antioch University New England40 Avon Street, Keene, NH 03431-3516
(603) 357-3122
Antioch University New England is a progressive graduate school which offers master's and doctoral degree programs designed with the specific needs of the adult learner in mind. For over 30 years, Antioch New England has been educating highly-motivated adult learners in innovative, practitioner-oriented programs which distinguish it from most traditional graduate schools. It is nationally recognized for its combination of academic excellence and technical expertise.
The institution offers master's programs in Education, Environmental Studies, Resource Management and Administration, Management, Substance Abuse/Addictions Counseling, Dance/Movement Therapy, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Counseling Psychology; an APA-accredited Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) and a Doctoral (Ph.D.) program in Environmental Studies. All the programs strive to balance the academic with the experiential by requiring internships and practica through which students integrate their learning and professional development.
The Antioch New England graduate student typically is seeking professional challenge and advancement, further accreditation in her/his field, or a career change - amidst responsibilities to self and family. Classes in most programs scheduled one day a week and several weekends per semester permit students to continue working while earning a degree. This time-frame also permits students to commute from various parts of New England and New Jersey. Students bring to the classroom diverse experiences and skills which enrich learning at Antioch New England. It is also possible for continuing education students to take courses as special students when space is available.
In 1994, Antioch New England moved to a six-acre property, located off West Street in Keene, which has been retrofitted into an environmentally-sensitive campus with expanded student services and enhanced facilities. Antioch New England is the largest satellite campus in the Antioch University system, located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. With a current enrollment of more than 1,400, Antioch New England, by design remains a small, nonresidential graduate school which recognizes the special qualities of adult learners, minimizes competition among students, encourages risk taking, and provides strong peer support.

DESPITE sleet and icy winds gusting up to 114 kilometres per hour, a crowd of 800 whooping VIPs, media and celebrities watched the unveiling of SpaceShipTwo this week. It is the first privately built spacecraft to carry passengers.
SpaceShipTwo will fly to the edge of space - an altitude of 100 km - where those on board will experience up to 5 minutes of weightlessness for the sum of $200,000. So far, 300 tickets have been sold, funding just over half the development costs of the spacecraft. Some aspiring astronauts paid up five years ago.
The craft was unveiled just outside Mojave, a small town in California. Atmospheric music and a dramatic light show set the mood as it loomed into view slung under its mother ship, WhiteKnightTwo - the aircraft that will carry it to high ...

Assembly Republicans have chosen their next leader.
Assembly Member Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, will take over as head of the caucus from Assembly Republican leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare. A spokeswoman for Conway said the transition will take place after November elections.
First elected in 2010, Olsen has served as vice chair of the Assembly Education Committee. After Republicans voted to retain Conway as leader in the wake of sweeping election losses last year, Olsen was relegated to a smaller office amid speculation that the move was tied to leadership maneuverings. Conway will leave the Assembly due to term limits after this year.
Olsen's selection marks the latest in a series of leadership turnovers in the Legislature. Senate Democrats have voted to make Sen. Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, their next leader, effective in October, while Assembly Member Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, now leads Democrats in the lower house.

I Don't Love My Husband Anymore – Lysa Terkeurst
But please observe the following guidelines:
(SOUTH AFRICA) I am 28 yrs old, had been married 5 yrs until last year when my husband filed for a divorce which left me disappointed and angry. I even ended up at a hospital for 3 weeks suffering from depression. I started praying for my situation, got out of the with a positive outlook and so much faith that things will work out.
At the time, my estranged husband wasn't talking to me at all, he kicked me out of the house, so I had to find my own place to stay. I still loved him and prayed so much for things to work out and go back to normal. He went to court for our divorce hearing after I had signed for the settlement stating I don't anything from him anymore except money for rent for a couple of months until I found a job.
I haven't gotten my divorce decree to this day, I am not even sure about my marital status. God finally answered my prayers this year. My husband came back, infact moved in my apartment. It was fun for a few months but now I wish I let him go; he hasn't changed a bit. I'm so tired of praying for this marriage, it feels like my energy has been drained. I feel like I've fallen out of love; I have no desire to be with him anymore…even decided I want to move on with my life now. He refuses to change his ways, he doesn't want to go to church & he says he doesn't believe in God. He's in a foul mood every single day. I understand he hasn't had a job for almost a year now, which will explain his mood but he's not concerned about our relationship, infact he doesn't care at all.
I want him to leave me if he can't bring happiness to my life. And I don't know if it's the right thing. Oh did I mention he is 42 yrs old, 13yrs older than me & we have a 5 yr old son. He has gambling problems, drinking & smoking. He has an impulsive disorder. He doesn't like discussing feelings which frustrates me because I'm very expressive. I need to make a decision, so tired of feeling like I'm behind bars and self pitying myself.
(UNITED STATES) Oh my gosh, you are in such a good position. My husband has very low self-esteem. When I met him he was not my type at all. He has a tendency to get a girlfriend before he leaves the one he is with. I met him when he was ending a relationship. I'm going to have to shorten this, however. Before we got married he went to prostitutes and he cheated on me with a co-worker. I didn't miss him until he left.
Years later we had an argument and we separated. I thought it was because of the argument. He later told me he was with someone else for the past 3 years and she is also married. He would not tell me who she was. I found out through the grace of God who she was and told her husband. He unfortunately immediately left her. Her husband wasn't very sexual with her because she had an STD, which there is currently no cure. I prayed daily. I took the time to read and reflect on what the Bible says about marriage. I realized I was not being the wife God made for him. There were moments when I almost got involved with someone else but I believe the angels blocked that from happening.
My husband had no intention on coming back, however, God had another plan. We eventually got back together. I was happy for the opportunity to put into practice being a good biblical wife. I asked God to make sure he does not cheat on me again. I trust he will not. The issue is my husband does not worship God. He believes in several theories of creation. I only believe in one. God created the world and Jesus Christ died for our sins. I enjoy TBN, 700 club. I tithe and donate my earnings, not his. My husband does not believe in giving money, helping others. I've always had passions like this since I was a child. I will love to foster care or adopt. My husband is waiting until the kids are old enough. He does not want to adopt.
I believe my marriage was restored so I could be a good Christian wife and so I could know that maybe my husband is not the Christian husband that I pray for. I pray for a Christian husband that I can minister with -it may be the man I'm with now or it may be someone else.
One big mistake me and you made at first -We put our husbands before God. When we first got back together I used to turn my Christian shows off when he walked in the room because of his sarcastic remarks. If my husband leaves me again, I will be fine. It's very difficult to live with a non-believer. They constantly invite demons and unclean spirits into your home.
Please take this opportunity to grow your relationship with God. Cry out to the Lord and ask him what you should do. Once you show God that you can live without what you are asking for and still be happy –that's when you'll receive it. Frankly, if you are divorced do not remarry him until he is the Christian husband you want him to be. Please try to make sure the next man you are physically intimate with is the husband that God has sent you.

William Ewert Gladstone's Liberal government has brought forward an Irish Home Rule Bill, proposing a measure of devolution which would involve a unicameral assembly for Ireland. After two months of debate, this is defeated on its second reading, because 93 Liberal MP, including John Bright, Joseph Chamberlain and the Marquess of Hartington, ultimately vote with the Opposition against the proposal. As a result of this parliamentary defeat, the Liberal government resigns and a general election is called.

text: Great Beyond #4 is described as a "deep blue violet." It's a medium-dark, muted cool-toned dusty purple with a pearly sheen and subtle shimmer. It was very sheer when applied dry, and it did amp up when applied with a dampened brush, but it wasn't as smooth. It took some layering to get decent, even color with this shade. It also faded faster than the other shades. See comparison swatches.

The Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department today (February 17) held the Launch Ceremony of Co-operation on the Digitisation of the Hok Hoi Collection between the Hong Kong Public Libraries and the Hok Hoi Library at Hong Kong Central Library (HKCL). The Assistant Director of Leisure and Cultural Services (Libraries and Development), Mr Lee Yuk-man, and the Chairman of the Hok Hoi Library, Mr Chan Siu-nam, signed the Hok Hoi Collection Digitisation Agreement to further strengthen their collaboration.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Lee noted that Hok Hoi Library transferred its book collection on permanent loan to the City Hall Public Library in 1962, and this collection was subsequently moved to HKCL in 2001 to enhance public access.
The HKPL has maintained a close relationship with Hok Hoi Library since then, and the signing of the agreement will further enhance collaboration between the two libraries. It is expected that readers will be able to access the rare collections through the HKPL's Multimedia Information System (MMIS) from mid-year onwards, said Mr Lee.
Founded in 1923, Hok Hoi Library is committed to promoting Chinese classic literature and culture, with a collection of over 1,900 categories containing about 35,000 books. The collection consists of classical Chinese thread-sewn rare books, valuable out-of-print books and manuscripts of Chinese classics, many of which are of a high academic standard.
The HKPL is devoted to providing comprehensive library services and strengthening its collection to meet the public's needs in pursuit of knowledge, lifelong learning and research. The MMIS is a digital library system providing an interactive platform for access to digital resources such as digitised Hong Kong newspapers, maps, manuscripts, posters and photos, as well as online databases on diverse topics.
The HKPL recently upgraded the MMIS system and enhanced its digital content management and search functionalities. Members of the public can now access the MMIS through the Internet anytime, anywhere.

The AASM PQRSwizard program is a convenient and cost-effective tool to help collect and report quality measure data for the CMS PQRS incentive payment program. The program works similar to online tax preparation software helping you collect, validate, report and submit your information to CMS for payment.
Access the AASM PQRSwizard
The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) was developed by the CMS as a voluntary reporting program that provides a financial incentive to physicians and other eligible professionals who report data on quality measures for covered services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. Make sure you receive your 2014 sleep measure incentives; reporting must be completed by February 26, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. ET.
Reporting requirements are easy to meet this year. For 2014, providers will only be required to report PQRS data on 20 patients, 11 of which must be Medicare Part B Fee-For-Service patients. Additionally, successful reporting of PQRS measures in 2014 will ensure that you avoid a penalty in 2016 equal to 2.0 percent of your Medicare allowable charges.
When you register through the AASM, the PQRSwizard program is only $225. That's a savings of $74 compared to the retail price of $299. 2014 PQRS participants are eligible to receive a 0.5 percent financial incentive payment from CMS.
Savings based on your total allowed charges for Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) covered services.
The AASM is offering a discount to group practices. Practices with 10-20 participating physicians will receive a 10% discount on PQRSwizard registration. Practices with 21 or more participating physicians will receive a 15% discount on PQRSwizard registration.

Saint Pete Shows its Pride
Samuel Johnson
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The Saint Petersburg Pride parade and festival was in full swing on Saturday, despite the rainy weather. The celebrants were still savoring the euphoria unleashed last week from the Supreme Courtâs favorable decisions on same-sex marriage.
The parade meandered through the neighborhoods of Historic Kenwood and Grand Central. Some stood, waived or danced on one of the many bedecked floats. Others traveled in the back of a ragtop. While others, like Tampa mayor and Grand Marshal Bob Buckhorn, walked portions of the parade route.
The LGBT community was out in droves, crowding the streets to catch a glimpse of the parade. Flanking Central Avenue there were nearly a hundred commercial or information stands. There were transgender advocacy groups, hip hop radio stations, the Sierra Club as well as beverage and food vendors.
A large spectrum of the greater St. Pete and Tampa Bay LGBT community braved the inclement weather to out their pride. St. Pete City Council member, Steve Kornell also participated in the parade. He said competition between St. Pete and Tampa is like a healthy sibling rivalry.
âWhat I love is on the domestic partnership registryâ¦Tampa was fighting to get theirs done and I was fighting to get ours (Saint Petersburg) done. And because our attorneys were a little backed up they (Tampa) got theirs done a little bit ahead of time. When I was at the film festival Bob Buckhorn, mayor Buckhorn, was there and chief (Tampa Police Jane) Castor. I got up and I said; I just have to laugh, because it shows just how far weâve come. That Tampa and St. Pete are competing to see who can be the most gay friendly. And that was kind of a good competition. Thatâs the kind of competition we want to have. Itâs healthy.â
The Pride events werenât dampened by the rain. There were some disturbances like gay slurs and a BB gun shooting. The shooting was the first act of violence in the 11 year history of the event. The male victim was taken to hospital and officials said the injuries were minor and the shooter was taken into custody.comments powered by Disqus

Lagos — The acting managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Timi Alaibe, has said that the Commission must gear up to be the best-run public service agency in Nigeria by ensuring best practices in the initiation and implementation of people-oriented and quality projects and programmes.
Speaking yesterday to a full house of management staff after the Christmas/New year holidays, Mr. Alaibe, who was appointed two weeks ago to take over from the former managing director, Mr. Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, who resigned to contest the governorship elections, said NDDC must refocus immediately to improve service delivery and fulfill the mandate prescribed by President Obasanjo and the laws setting up the Commission.
"We are returning to work in full force. My mission is to turn NDDC into the best-run public service agency in Nigeria by ensuring best practices in service delivery to our people. I want 2007 to be the best year for NDDC and the Niger Delta region. We must be able to do by far much better this year than we did in the previous years Delay is dangerous", Mr. Alaibe said.
Now appointed the acting managing director for the third time, Mr. Alaibe said transactions in the Commission are not going to be business as usual. Apart from refocusing on the implementation of quick impact projects and programmes of the Regional Master Plan, he said the work culture of the interventionist agency would be quickly reviewed, overhauled and re-energized. " We must turn a new leaf. There must be discipline from top to bottom. We must be more businesslike, as our partners in the oil industry. There will be certainly no room to circumvent or compromise due processes. Our work processes must be standardized, transparent and predictable. We cannot run away from it. We will also have to put in place as quickly as possible, the process of peer review mechanism alongside with capacity building and reward structure for all levels of staff in order to cope with the challenges ahead", Alaibe said.
In response, all management staff led by the Executive Director Projects, Engr. Beniah Ojum, took turn to suggest the best way forward, noting Mr. Alaibe's dynamism and pledging the cooperation of staff to reinforce the performance of NDDC. At the end of a five-hour marathon management meeting that followed, a 10-man committee was set up to prioritize and set definite targets and deadlines for delivery of projects and programs.
