The Division supports students as whole people by providing and integrating experiential learning opportunities, reducing barriers, and strengthening students' ability to learn. Student Affairs works to create a campus culture that promotes learning and fosters a sense of community. Our goal is to facilitate students' growth as people who will be leaders and

Learning from Mistakes
We all make mistakes…no matter what area of life we're dealing with. Mistakes shouldn't be something we regret, and sob over..mistakes should be a tool that we learn and grow from.
Every mistake we encounter..is really just a part of our larger growth system..they're all meant to happen! I had a hard time grasping this concept when I first learned it..but now I see it clearly.
You may be going through a rough period where you're making many mistakes yourself. Sometimes they seem to snowball and add up. You may be making mistakes at your job, in your love life, with your health, friendships, or even as a blogger or online business owner.
Remember this!
Without mistakes, how would you know what to change? How would you know what to do better the next time around? Mistakes are a tool..and one that you should use well, and learn from.
What you may see as a "failure"……is actually a "success", because that's shaping you into the person you're meant to be! Failures and mistakes are simply stepping-stones on the path to a great future.
Climbing the Ladder
They don't say "The ladder to success" for no reason. Success comes from taking small steps, one after another. Eventually, before you know it, you're accomplishing goals and "getting somewhere" in life.
Mistakes can't help you though if you let them destroy you. You have to know how to let them help you and guide you. Be thankful for your mistakes, and never regret anything because it's all part of your growth and destiny!

The 2013 summer blockbuster season is not even over and we are already concerned about what's in store for 2014. Here's why: hair. Everyone, from Bradley Cooper to Jennifer Aniston, has recently been spotted on set sporting questionable dos, wigs, and bad dye jobs that makes us worried. It looks like 2014 is going to be the year of the wig so just brace yourself for the some of the most awful hair coming to a screen near you.
1. Christian Bale looks like he lost his mind with an awful comb over in American Hustle, which comes out at the end of 2013 and will kick start the bad hair in 2014.
2. Bradley Cooper sports some major jerry curls in the same film, which makes us wonder if he pissed off his stylist on set.
3. Jeremy Renner, who got coiffed, may have the best of the worst hair in this film.
4. Finally, the always-pretty Jennifer Lawrence falls victim to the same film with too many weaves that makes her hair look drunk.
5. Unfortunately, J-Law's hair doesn't fair any better in X-Men: Days Of Future Past (5/23/14), though her bodysuit makes up for it.

Air India expects to formally join Star Alliance in mid 2011, ending a significantly longer than typical integration process.
Star first accepted Air India in December 2007, kicking off an integration period which typically takes 12 to 18 months. But IT issues have repeatedly delayed the integration process.
Air India executive director planning and international relations Tridib Kumar Palit says work on its IT overhaul finally began in the first half of this year and the carrier is now on track to enter Star in mid-2011.
"Early next year we'll get the IT system done and after the IT system gets done in three to four months we should be in Star Alliance," Palit said in a recent interview with ATI and Flightglobal.
He says SITA is providing Air India's new IT systems. New members of global alliances typically have to install new IT systems before formally becoming members. In Air India's case, Palit says the delay was in actually starting the process of replacing the IT systems and now the project is in progress there should not be any additional delays.
"Now it's just a question of work being taken to the end," Palit says, referring to the process of implementing the new IT systems. "On other non IT related things we've made very significant progress."

Tennessee Tech University has named Tiara Laster and Andrea Engle as the Most Valuable Student Workers of the 2011-2012 academic year.
There are two programs for TTU students – the Federal Work Study Program and the University Academic Service scholarship – through which qualifying students have campus employment opportunities. Students with work study assignments receive hourly pay. In the UAS program, students complete 75 hours of service as part of their scholarship requirements.
Each year, the Office of Financial Aid asks faculty and staff who supervise student workers to nominate the top student workers, in a nomination of 100 words or less. There were 26 nominees in the work study and scholarship categories.
Laster, a business major from Chattanooga, received a nomination from Elizabeth Tudor in TTU's Business Office.
Engle, a biology major, had nominations from Christy Carter, Pamela Malone and Phyllis Smith, all of the biology department. Engle is from Erwin, Tenn.
Laster and Engle received a Tech-themed package with items donated by the Fitness Center, the TTU Bookstore, Chartwells, Office of Alumni Relations and financial aid.

just did this hike yesterday. It took us twice as long to get up than get down. so even the most athletically challenged could get down in less than 3 hours easy. there are some super scary moments throughout the last 2 miles of the trail... mud, snow, and flowing water through the actual dirt/rock trail makes it a challenging hike. Mt Defiance is recommended over Table Mountain.

And tomorrow on the Bald Faced Truth.... the top 5 reasons the Portland Trail Blazers will soon be the Seattle Trail Blazers (or Space Needles, or Emeralds, or Grungers, or Rain Clouds, or Magic Mushrooms, insert any mascot that would be relevant to the Emerald City.)

Mary Lee seems to like the Charleston area. The satellite tag on the almost two-ton great white shark pinged off the South Carolina coast near Isle of Palms at 8:21 p.m. Saturday. Its her second visit to the Lowcountry this month.
Mary Lee can be tracked on the website of Ocearch, a group that tags and monitors sharks. The group tagged the 16-foot shark in September off Cape Cod, Mass., and has been tracking her ever since.
Mary Lee pinged near Isle of Palms in early November, and she might have nosed into the Charleston Harbor on that trip.
She then traveled as far south as Florida but was back in the Lowcountry on Thanksgiving, off the coast of Hunting Island. She made her way up the coast Friday, and was off the Isle of Palms by Saturday evening.
Mary Lee likely is feasting on streams of bait fish that have been moving offshore to the Gulf Stream.

NEW YORK (AP) — Burger King says it will start offering a "French Fry Burger" for a buck, as it looks to fend off McDonald's aggressive push for its Dollar Menu.
The Miami-based chain says the burger will be available Sept. 1 through the fall, as it looks to drum up sales and customer interest with cheap new concoctions.
The burger, which clocks in at 360 calories and 19 grams of fat, is a relatively novel offering, but doesn't require any extra investment from Burger King; it's basically a standard beef patty topped with four of the chain's french fries.
The offering comes as fast-food chains jump through hoops to get customers through their doors, in large part by heavily promoting their cheapest eats.
McDonald's in particular has stepped up advertising for its Dollar Menu, which now features its Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and a more substantial McDouble, which has two patties and a slice of cheese. That forced Burger King and Wendy's to adjust their tactics earlier this year to stress value more clearly as well. Burger King, for example, has offered any two sandwiches for $5 and a Junior Whopper for $1.29.
It's not clear whether the strategy will pay off for the chains, or what impact it could have on wearing away at profit margins over the long term. But in the latest quarter, Burger King said its sales at North American restaurants open at least a year slipped 0.5 percent. Wendy's reported an anemic 0.4 percent rise, while McDonald's reported a 1 percent increase for U.S. restaurants. The metric is an important indicator of health because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations.
Other chains, by contrast, are faring better. Chipotle reported a 3.4 percent increase and Starbucks said the figure rose 9 percent.

Finally San Diego...Real Tacos de Carne Asada
Paco Perez of Aqui es Texcoco brought me to what he considered to be the conceptually "Original" Tijuana Taqueria a year ago. He took me to Tacos El Poblano in La Mesa up Blvd. Agua Caliente so I can get an idea of a 'roots' TJ taco of carne asada.
I still remember the almost golden meat grilling away and its scent mixed with charcoal - but most important was the taste. It was like experiencing carne asada for the first time. I never took the subject of carne asada seriously until I was brought here.
The great news is that now you experience that taste in Chula Vista. The TJ roots chain of 3 Taquerias is now open in Downtown Chula Vista. ON 3rd st and E.
The ambiance is not the same but the flavor is completely there. The tortillas even taste like those from Mexico. Asada is the name of the game here but dont leave without trying the Consome de Carne. It rivals that served at Tacos Fitos - my favorite in TJ. The intriguing spicing muskiness and richness of the broth makes it easily one of the best things Ive tasted in San Diego recently.
Experience real Tacos of Carne Asada - go to El Poblano!!!!
Thanks. I'm going to have to five this a try. I've been going to CV a lot recently bike riding with a friend who lives down there, and our rides always include a chow stop. We're always looking for new food stops.
I just had lunch there. Short review -
- Clean, comfortable, roomy, friendly. No parking lot, street parking with meters. Easy to get to and find from the 5.
- $1.75 for a street sized (small) taco. Other prices in line with that. I would call it good value.
- Some of the best fresh guac I've ever had at a taco shop. Like I would make at home.
- Limited options. Carne, adobada, birra in the typical configurations. No salsa bar, but pickled carrots/peppers, lime, and radishes were available.
- Very delicious meat. Although the carne was really dry and had all the juiciness cooked out of it. More than I'd usually expect. Still tasted great though. There was also a bit more gristle than I'm used to, but not objectionable at all, just notable.
Over all I would rate it as very good but not great. I'd feel very comfortable bringing friends here, but I'd likely take out of town guests with limited time to places I like better such as Tacos El Gordo, Tacos El Paisa, or La Fachada. I thought they were a bit heavy on the guacamole, so next time I might get that on the side.
Bottomline - Really good street tacos in a sit-down environment.
Address -
217 3rd Ave.
Chula Vista, CA 91910
re: y6y6y6
I would definitely agree with you on bringing out of town guests to the places you listed albeit for something other than carne asada. Their ambiance is much more special.
Limited options is something you want with a taqueria - especially in a place like Tijuana where any good tijuanero will tell you to avoid 'tacos varios' puestos like the h1n1 virus.
The meat is brought in from Mexico per the Taquero - and its the strength of the restaurant. Maybe you caught them at a bad time - but when I ordered they threw the meat on the grill.
This style of taco - the taquero only asks you if you want 'con todo' and then he serves you a finished product. Salsa bars are not de riguer.
Did you try the birria broth by chance?

And thus, I'll be cooking the red, 1up, and poison mushroom with REAL mushrooms, and the fire flower with REAL flowers (artichoke). Artichoke actually is the flower of the plant.
The dish is consisted of:
- marinated artichoke stuffed with hot italian sausage mix (fire flower)
- fried mushroom with basic tomato sauce (red mushroom)
- fried mushroom with creamy spinach sauce (1up mushroom)
- fried mushroom with cuttlefish ink sauce (poison mushroom)
Step 1: Prep time
1. marinate artichoke
2. prepare stuffing
3. prepare sauces
4. cook artichoke
5. fry mushrooms
6. bake artichoke
7. put the dish together
I'll list the ingredients as we go, so I would suggest reading through the instructions before starting.
Step 2: Marinate artichoke
- half a lemon
- 2 baby artichoke
- a little water
- a blender
- a plastic bag
1. peal the beet and cut it into smaller pieces, just to help out with the blending
2. add the cut up beets and juice of half a lemon into a blender, and blend till smooth
3. prepare the artichoke: cut the stem off, cut the top 1/2" off, snip the tips of the "pedal", and cut the whole artichoke in half
4. mix the blended beet and artichokes and keep it in a plastic bag
5. keep it in the fridge and let the artichoke soak up the color, we'll come back to it later

Eh this is not anti semitism because the edomites(the jews) arent the shemites(from shem=true hebrews of the bible=white people) Nice try...lol
You are supporting fascist franco so wtf?Jews did 9/11 yet americans do nothing about it.
The end is looming for the jews.Hope you like it hot because it gets hella hot in hell.
The USA is the new jerUSAlem.(Barcelona is the original celestial jerusalem).Basques and catalans are of a holy bloodline,one of the world's best kept secrets, as the edomite jews claim this birthright.The jews followed us around and settled in iberia(spain) driving many iberians out and moving up to ireland(which was known as hibernia meaning new land of hebrews) and the UK.The so called "spanish" then went to south america and mixed with the indians creating hispanics and giving us a backwards and distorted image of basques and catalans, the true iberians.The jews usurped the hebrew/iberian/spanish identity and the bible says there would be impostors pretending to be hebrews of the bible.

This needs to be known,RIGHT shady romans? lmao The vikings knew the basque sailors as the vanir....we were the 1st sailors.We were known by many names,we were the badass picts who owned the romans and ran them out of britain.No wonder the butthurt romans slandered us haha they called us "barbarians" when we freakin schooled their clueless asses...the druids were hebrews as well and the romans tried to exterminate them
Envy is a bitch
"Heber" as Kheeber, meaning "Connected; Joined." Because they(basques/catalans) did colonize, rule, and inhabit every country on earth, also founding every civilization on earth, all human societies recognize their ancient hegemony both linguistically and mythically"

Jew franco wasnt even white heehee what a joke.
You are a citizen of the great country of Spain. You are welcome! I saved you. I'm like Jesus, really. Your own. Personal. Jesus.

Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive is bullish about the league getting away from patsies and beefing up their nonconference schedules moving forward.
Texas A&M is going in the opposite direction. Or at least we think it is.
Early in the day, Aggies athletic director Eric Hyman told the Houston Chronicle that A&M was canceling future games against Southern California and Oregon. Later, the university said that Hyman was mistaken and only the Oregon series was scheduled.
Then, USC's chief operating officer, Steve Lopes, told the Los Angeles Times that the proposed series against the Aggies was never finalized. Discussions began in 2009.
"They never progressed past the point of preliminary discussions and there never was a contract between the two schools," Lopes told the L.A. Times.
Former A&M athletic director Bill Byrne entered into discussions with Oregon and USC long before A&M entered the SEC. Before it had to play the likes of LSU and Alabama.

"This is the schedule that we've had, and it's basically based on the Big 12 schedule," Hyman told the Houston Chronicle at the SEC spring meetings. "During a transition like this (from the Big 12 to the SEC), it's just been a little more difficult trying to schedule. Hopefully, in time, it will straighten itself out."
Hyman believed A&M was to play USC in 2015 and 2016. The Oregon games were going to be set for 2018 and 2019.
"We've had to scrub our whole schedule—throw it almost out," Hyman said.
Hyman would prefer to play one national power outside of conference play, one FCS opponent and one "lower-level BCS game."

Call: (218) 327-4482
The draft horse powered much of America well into the 20th-century. Logging and lumbering, one of the nation's largest and most important industries, relied heavily on the powerful Percheron draft horse to move the huge white pine logs from the forest to landings on the river. This program features horses doing traditional tasks such as skidding, cross hauling and jammer loading. See draft horses up close and talk to the teamsters. Don't forget to bring your camera.

i agree. i graduated from PSU at the time the f-ball culture was just happening and even then something seemed way off to me.
this is SO the "twinkie" defense.
i'm from san francisco and years ago a cop killed mayor moscone and harvey milk. he got off with almost no time because the defense said he was hyper-active and out-of-control from eating junk food. dan white served a few years, got out, and committed suicide. in the case of jerry sandusky, he has no conscience.

Cheyenne County District Judge Derek Weimer says prosecutors can file amended 1st-degree murder charges against a Sidney man that would qualify him for the death penalty if convicted
53 year old Larry Martinez of Sidney is accused in the shooting death last July 15th of 30-year-old Mandy Kershman, also of Sidney.
Weimer's ruling allows Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub to add a "notice of aggravation" to the murder charge that would allow the jury and a 3-judge panel…if Martinez is convicted…to determine if the death penalty should be applied.
Nebraska law includes a list of aggravating circumstances that can qualify a murder conviction for death. The one included by Schaub in his new filing against Martinez is a "substantial prior history of serious assaultive or terrorizing criminal activity including a previous conviction."
Martinez is accused of confronting Kershman in a Sidney home, then shooting her because he was mad about a text message she'd reportedly sent him. He will be arraigned on the revised murder charge next Thursday. He's also charged with felony use of a firearm.

Over 400,000 working Virginians are uninsured. The cost of providing care in the emergency rooms is causing everyone's insurance premiums to skyrocket and local hospitals are close to financial disaster. Virginia is sending $5 million a day in tax dollars to the Federal government to help pay for Expansion in 27 other States. Yet, the Federal government is willing to cover 100 percent of the costs of expanding Medicaid through 2016 and 90 percent of the costs thereafter. This is a good deal.
I ask lawmakers to consider the facts when deciding the issue of Medicaid Expansion.
Opponents claim that the Virginia Medicaid program is fraught with abuse. Yet, according to a 2011 JLARC Report "Mitigating the Risk of Improper Payments in the Virginia Medicaid Program," recipient and provider fraud totals 0.3 percent, (or roughly $6 million) not the $38 billion that some have tossed about. In fact, Virginia has one of the best-managed Medicaid programs in the country.
Another argument is "the Federal government will not live up to its financial commitment." There is no basis for this conclusion. The Medicaid program has been in existence since 1965, nearly 50 years, and during this entire time the Federal government has never reduced its financial commitment to the States.
Moreover, Virginia has never been shy about accepting Federal money. In fact, the biennium budget currently being considered includes $20 billion in federal dollars for all sorts of programs out of a $96 billion budget! Even Speaker Howell has recently admitted, "Medicaid Expansion is germane to the budget."
It is also worth noting that Governor McAuliffe's Medicaid Expansion program sets aside $100 million in a trust fund to pay Virginia's share of the program in future years. Local officials should be aware that participating in Medicaid Expansion allows the State to save $225 million in this biennial budget alone. After setting aside nearly half of this amount in the trust fund, enough dollars are available to give teachers and State employees a 2 percent pay raise.
The Senate's bi-partisan "Marketplace Virginia" addresses every reasonable concern raised by opponents. In Marketplace Virginia, participants would share costs up to 5 percent of their household income, additional safeguards are in place to prevent fraud and abuse, budgetary savings would be set aside to pay the State's share of Medicaid in the future; and the program automatically ends if the Federal government fails to meet its funding obligations. Lawmakers have the power to save jobs, boost the economy and help manage the cost of care for everyone. Now is the time to act!
Sen. Barbara Favola (D-Dist. 31)

Secretary Cohen: Dr. Hamre and Julie and Janet, members of the House and Senate, Executive Branch, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and so many friends of John Hamre -- we welcome you here today.
At the close of the Civil War the poet Joshua Hollen described what a time of historic change demands. He said it demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands; men and women who possess opinions and a will and honor; whose sun crowns live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking. Today, in another time of historic change, we welcome a strong mind and a great heart to the office of Deputy Secretary of Defense, John Hamre, who also, had any of you been listening, was singing with a great tenor voice during the Star Spangled Banner.
From the prairie hills of South Dakota, this son of a banker and teacher became a student of political science and divinity. And when he came to Washington to serve in Congress and in the Pentagon, John harnessed all four influences to protect the public dollar. He has the thrift of a banker, the patience of a teacher, the analytical mind of a political scientist, and the divine faith of a minister in the goodness of mankind, which is a remarkable trait to retain after 20 years of being in Washington.
For his strong record of public duty and thinking, John Hamre is the ideal choice to help lead this Department. He's someone I have known and liked and trusted for many years.
As our Department looks toward a new century, we face a great many challenges. The challenge to help shape the world events, to bring more stability to more regions, more democracy to more nations, and thus, fewer threats to American interests. The challenge to respond to the threats that inevitably are going to emerge so that we can maintain strong forces poised on the ready and forward deployed. The challenge to prepare for the future to harness the technological revolution in military affairs so that our forces can dominate the battlefield of tomorrow. And finally, the challenge to shape a new Department of Defense, as Chairman Shali has just mentioned.
And to celebrate our Golden Anniversary, our 50 years of success, we're building a modern new organization, a 21st Century Pentagon, a model of action, economy, efficiency, and versatility. John Hamre's leadership is going to be a vital part of our success.
As most of you are aware, there have been many in the past that have tried to reform the Defense Department and said "mission impossible". As defense Comptroller, John has tackled a good portion of reform, and he has said "mission accomplished" -- streamlining our financial operations and stretching our defense dollars.
But defense reform is only a part of John Hamre's job. As Deputy Secretary he's going to serve as my right hand on a full spectrum of defense issues. He's going to join me and our civilian and military leadership to keep our forces strong, to use them wisely, to harness their minds, and to exploit modern technology.
John Hamre has come a very long way for a native son of Willow Lake -- a South Dakota town with 100 people, 40 buildings, one paved road, and a grain silo. Today, he is my partner in leading an organization of more than three million people who are serving all over the world.
In every job that he's ever held, in every challenge he's ever faced, John Hamre has brought a quick mind, a ready smile, and a mighty heart, and we are very fortunate, indeed, to have a person of his caliber at the Defense Department, and Janet and I send heartfelt congratulations to John and Julie on this magnificent day.
Welcome aboard, and God bless both of you.

"I don't think the Medinah's going to work," he says straightforwardly, "because I think these arts groups have needs that are so special that they really need to be addressed." Grand Center Inc. has hired a consultant, Edgar "Ned" Lustig, to talk to various performing-arts groups to begin to conceptualize a multipurpose facility in the district. "Some of these groups need space that will seat 50 people, some of them need space to seat 250 people and on another night they need space that will seat 75. I see three or four different black boxes, really, basically in the same building, but they could have a common box office, a common lobby area, a common food service and share some rehearsal spaces and storage.
"You can't just say you're going to cram this all into the Medinah. By the time you get around to doing that, you might as well just build a building and do it right. That is my inclination. This is not going to be inexpensive. This is not something we're going to be able to put a couple of fundraisers together and finance. I'd love to see some use for the Medinah, but my mission is more to fulfill the needs of the arts groups than to find a way to repurpose the building."
Joe Edwards plans to build a theater in the Loop, too, and might lure the Regional Arts Commission out of Grand Center if the space and the numbers fit, but Schoemehl doesn't feel he's in competition with the Delmar entrepreneur. The arts are not static. Needs change and reconfigure -- and for now there are more needs than there are facilities (and audiences) to accommodate them.
So far, Schoemehl gets high marks from those in the St. Louis art scene who stomached years of Grand Center ineptitude. Lisa Suggs of the Mid-Size Arts Cooperative says, "He understands how everything works. His learning curve is very short. He knows how to put the pieces together. He's a very smart guy, and that's a real gift to Grand Center, it's a gift to the St. Louis community, it's a gift to arts organizations. We're really pleased."
Betsy Wright Millard of the Forum for Contemporary Art concurs. "He understands the role the arts can play in the economic development of Grand Center," she says. "He's not just throwing us a bone. He's very straightforward. He believes in this as an arts district, but he also believes that we've got to get commercial development. He's problem-solving, and the problems are big enough that they take some time to solve. We need to be patient, but also there's real activity with him."
Despite the brickbats thrown at him by Berger, those hungry for leadership in Grand Center are optimistic about Schoemehl. He wants to be the go-to guy, willing to risk failure and take the credit. These are the qualities of an ambitious politician, a man with seasons to come.
