Saturday, Oct. 16, marked the official launch of Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds, the most ambitious fundraising campaign in Pomona College's history. The minimum goal of the campaign is $250 million and, thus far in the campaign's "quiet phase," a total of $120.8 million in gifts and pledges has been raised.
Based on a planning process that included trustees, faculty, staff and students, the five-year campaign will focus on raising money for four areas: endowed scholarship aid, enhancing teaching and learning, improving critical facilities, and expanding the Annual Fund.
Highlights include:
- $65,000,000 for expanded support of scholarships to support the College's commitment to meeting the full, financial aid need of every admitted student;
- $20,000,000 to provide more opportunities, both domestic and international, for the expansion of its successful summer research program and student internship program;
- $11,500,000 for initiatives "fostering creativity in the arts," including funding for new programming in a range of artistic disciplines;
- $10,000,000 for a new Studio Art building;
- $18,000,000 for two new residence halls to alleviate overcrowding and reinforce connections between living and learning that are one reason 98 percent of students choose to live on campus; and
- $25,000,000 to build a new international center and language immersion residence hall.
To view more information about each goal and some of the gifts and pledges already received, please visit our new Campaign website at www.pomona.edu/giving.
According to Pomona College President David W. Oxtoby, "The aim of the campaign is to ensure that talented, venturesome students will always be able to afford a Pomona education and that we will be able to provide them with a learning environment even stronger in the creative and experiential opportunities that play such a vital role in making our graduates leaders in their fields."
The Campaign Celebration
Around 275 guests, who included trustees, alumni and friends of the College, attended Saturday's festivities. A number of Daring Minds sessions provided information related to key goals of the campaign, including summer research and internships, studio arts and the Museum, cultivating global knowledge and engagement, sustainability and the new residence halls, and the Draper Center for Community Partnerships.
After the sessions, the guests gathered in Bridges Hall of Music for the main presentation. Four campaign videos about the theme of daring minds, financial aid, and the College Gates quote ("They only are loyal to this College who departing bear their added riches in trust for mankind") were shown interspersed with speeches. You can watch the "What Is A Daring Mind?" video on our Campaign website.
Paul Efron '76, the chair of the Board of Trustees, opened the event after the first video, saying "Daring Minds is not just the theme of the campaign. It is, in fact, what Pomona is all about. From our remarkable students to our accomplished and dedicated faculty, the campus is filled by people who are intellectually adventurous, willing to take chances, and who have a passion to engage in scholarship and research."
Campaign chair Stewart R. Smith '68 and co-chairs John Payton '73 and Libby Armintrout '86 also spoke. Smith charged the audience with this goal: "The hallowed tradition at Pomona is that each generation leaves the College ever better, and 'dares' the next to come forward in similar fashion. I personally embrace this compelling charge from our predecessors, and I invite you to join me in welcoming that mandate as we establish our own legacy for the generations that will very soon follow us. The students and faculty, the staff and administrators, the alumni, the many supporters and volunteers for the College—those of today, yesterday and tomorrow—deserve all that this campaign envisions."
Payton, who couldn't be at the event and spoke via video, discussed his days at Pomona and how they influenced his career as a lawyer and president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, saying "There was an openness and a skepticism at Pomona that I found almost intoxicating. It was throughout the campus. I wanted to learn everything. And I questioned everything. I retain that questioning attitude and that deep interest in learning to this day."
Later, Cecilia Conrad, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college, spoke and President David Oxtoby closed the event with a speech in which he related former president James Blaisdell's indelible charge on the College gates to the campaign:
"Many institutions 'talk' about the importance of giving back," said President Oxtoby," but at Pomona College, the notion is etched into our granite gates and into our hearts. In this campaign, we seek to provide future Pomona College students opportunities, the 'added riches' that will prepare them for committed lives of meaning and distinction."
At a dinner after the presentation, former President Peter Stanley and Kimbia Arno '11 and Charles Bufalino '10—who were featured in the Daring Minds videos—also spoke. Wine from Cathy Corison '75 and Corison Winery and dark chocolate truffles from Mark West '78, chocolatier and owner of Monique's Chocolates, were also featured at the dinner.
The celebration on Saturday was preceded by a campus-only campaign introduction on Thursday, October 14, which is Founders Day. Students, faculty and staff were invited to a preview of Saturday night's program, with a few different speakers, including Professor Jill Grigsby, and stayed to enjoy a picnic dinner, music, games and a bounce house on the Smith Campus Center south lawn.
Campaign History
Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds is only the 10th campaign in the College's 123-year history. The last campaign, "The Campaign for Pomona College," began in 1997 with a goal of $150 million to increase endowed scholarships for students, create professorships, and expand international studies and Study Abroad. The campaign concluded in 2002, having reached $206 million, including funds to build the Smith Campus Center, Andrew Science Building and the Richard C. Seaver Biology Building.
Recently, we looked at the full history of Pomona's campaigns since the first in 1890. Read about all 10 campaigns in "From 'Canvass for Funds to Daring Minds."

Caroline Lohrey
The man of which I speak.
Is heartless, shallow yet meek,
Sly and has much wit.
The story begins at the birth.
He was a baby with no considered worth.
They told him quit talking, just sit.
Growing up, it just got worse.
His first crime was a stolen purse.
His parents never even realized it.
He vowed to get even,
For the life which he had been beaten
He told himself to never quit.
He is now a grown up man.
And he decides to make his biggest stand.
He makes his plans, eyebrows tightly knit.
Gathering his mask, bag, and gun,
He wants cash, he going out to get him some.
With no second thoughts or regret.
Nothing stopped him, for nothing could.
He was out to get his prize; even in cold blood.
Through shooting and screaming, the huge fit.
Walking away with his prize,
Disregarding all the lost lives.
Call it evil, call it selfishness, he is all of it.

Pittsburgh Mayor Hosts Quite Possibly the Best Reddit AMA Ever
One of the best advantages of social media is that it gives everyone a voice. People everywhere want their opinions to be heard and that is especially important in local government. Yesterday, the mayor of Pittsburgh and his staff hosted a Reddit AMA session. It's one of the best executed AMAs I've seen in quite some time. Why? Read on.
Mayor's Night On(line) AMA
Starting this year, Bill Peduto, the Mayor of Pittsburgh, has been holding several "Mayor's Night Out/In" events where he speaks directly to the public. Yesterday, he hosted "the first... AMA with government leaders... in reddit history" in an online version of his public forum. It was incredibly well-executed for several reasons.
The mayor could have easily done a generic AMA and fielded questions from all Reddit users about what it's like being the mayor and his stance on a variety of political issues. But that would've entirely missed the point of what Mayor Peduto is trying to get out of these forums. He wants to interact with the residents of his city and talk about issues that are affecting them and ones that he potentially has the power to change. Hosting the AMA within the /r/Pittsburgh subreddit might not seem like a big deal, but it's a simple characteristic of this program that changes it from an interesting Q&A to democracy in action.
The staff was clearly prepared for this AMA. Each member of the government had their own Reddit account and all were verified by the Pittsburgh subreddit moderators. This made it very easy for people asking questions to know who their answers were coming from and that the answers originated from a legitimate, knowledgeable source. Based on the staff members' answers, they were also properly educated in how to interact with Redditors.
Thoughtful Answers
When it comes to AMAs, one of my biggest pet peeves is the host giving either short or canned PR answers (cough cough Woody Harrelson cough cough). The mayor and his staff took time to actually read the questions and give thoughtful answers. Often several staff members would answer the same question, all giving unique information and insight. Some of the answers also indicated the issues were being addressed immediately.
As one Redditor pointed out, "There were even some questions/suggestions posed that resulted in immediate/direct action (recycling, intersection issues, parking meter issues)." It's one thing to know you have a voice. It's another to know that someone is listening.
Keys to Success in a Reddit AMA
The next time you're thinking about doing an AMA, remember to target the correct demographic, be prepared, and provide thoughtful answers. As part of his sign off, Mayor Peduto wrote, "They say democracy is an experiment - thanks for experimenting with us tonight." As different types of social media grow and change, we all have to experiment with them so that we can learn how to use these networks effectively. We can also look at case studies like this one to see how to do it well.
If you have the time, please read as much of the AMA as you can. I'm sure you'll learn something pretty incredible from it.

Tiny Wasteful Things – Soap Slivers – Frugal ChallengeMonday, February 22nd, 2010
Even though tiny slivers of soap may not have you wringing your hands, fretting about wasting money, it just irks me every time I toss a sliver of soap in the bathroom wastebasket.
Today I'd like to explore this tiny wasteful thing. Is there something you can do with those slivers of soap? I've debated melting them down and re-forming them into useful bars of soap again, but have never done it.
Some folks aren't too keen on reusing soap slivers because of the sanitary, or shall I say unsanitary, aspect of it. My thought is that as long as the new recycled soap bar remains in the same shower or bath that it came from, then the same people are still using the same soap.
In other words, if you're sharing soap with those you love, then it shouldn't bother you if you share your recycled soap with the same person or people. If you rinse your soap slivers well before you begin, I think you'll be fine.
With that said, time to get on with the project.
I have a mini muffin pan that will work perfectly. I like the size of the mini muffins for soap, so I think they'll be cute. But, if you happen to have some soap molds, by all means use them.
Here is the method:
- Gather together at least 1 cup of soap slivers.
- Place the soap slivers in a small saucepan, cover with water, and let sit for about 8 hours.
- Stir the soap and water together (don't use your wooden spoons).
- Place on burner turned to medium high and bring to a boil, watching closely and stirring constantly.
- Immediately turn down to simmer and stir constantly until soap pieces are melted, then remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Optional: You can stir in some raw whole oatmeal, orange zest, or other flavor or aroma, plus food coloring.
- Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Pour melted soap into muffin tins, about half way up. Set aside to let firm, at least 24 hours. Then flip muffin tin over to remove. You can trim the soap bars if you like into other shapes and sizes.
This may or may not be a frugal tip. You may question whether or not the cost of heating the stove burner justifies recycling the soap slivers. I just know some things Feel frugal and some things Feel wasteful – and tossing perfectly good soap away just doesn't sit well with me.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this – whether you agree with me or not! I'm always curious to hear what other frugal homemakers think of these controversial frugal tips.
p.s. If you have another use for soap slivers (crafts, gardening, cleaning, etc.) please comment and include your ideas. Thank you!

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Campers at New Mexico's state parks will face shorter limits on their stays at campsites under a rules change announced by Gov. Susana Martinez's administration.
The state Parks Division says campers bill be able remain in a park for 14 consecutive days during any 20-day period starting in April 2013.
Campers could go to another state park for six days and then return. Under current rules, campers are allowed a maximum stay of 21 consecutive days during a 28-day period.
Parks Division Director Tommy Mutz said a 14-day limit will give weekend and short-term campers a reasonable opportunity to get park campsites.
New Mexico residents can buy an annual camping pass for state parks for $180, but it costs $100 for residents who are ages 62 and older.

Quick Twitt | Bellator Champ Ben Askren Calls White A Liar Over Drug Testing Issue
UFC president Dana White came out recently and said it would be impossible for his staff at ZUFFA to continually drug test all 315 contracts fighters.
To that Askren responded calling him out as a liar.
59 Responses to "Quick Twitt | Bellator Champ Ben Askren Calls White A Liar Over Drug Testing Issue"
yeah the iran team gets tested all the time brah stick to dry humping bums and leave the thinking to your manager before talking brah
what part of USOC did you not get? think before type.
Pdub fagg
Ok BRAH are you SPECIAL BRAH di you worship zyzz brah are you sick cunt brah
Nigga you just went full retard.
Jbjizz sipper bruddah
hey brah, dont be a hard cunt, be a sick cunt like zyzz brah.
Danny the manly gurl
Ur dum brudda
askren needs to learn to STFU! hes actually one of the most boring, moany fighters ive ever heard in my life! cant take criticism and cant keep his mouth shut! atleast we'll never havto endure him in the ufc after calling dana a liar!
WTF does his fighting style have to do with Dana being a liar?
Danas just pissed because what he said is true.
Yes, what he said would be true if what Dana White was saying was inended to be taken as a literal statement. It wasn't though. Clearly it would be possible. But he was saying it is impossible, as in, it is not feasable as a company to continually screen every single fighter because of the monetary cost, time consumed doing so, the mountains of paperwork that come with it, the excess pay for the additional staff that would be required to process such paperwork etc. Askren took this statement too literally. It's a very basic concept in business that White is tryin to make. it's common sense.
Don't be a blind fanboy Ryrie–getting mad because someone doesn't eat the urinal cakes Dana White pisses on. If what the guy said is true about the USOC random testing everyone, then that's a relevant counter-arguement to what Dana White said.
the usoc does not test wada banned substence's either
talk about narrowing future employment opportunities. He might as well get that Bellator tattoo he has been wanting on his back.
Looks like somebody wants to stay undefeated…… on JV
Thats some REAL TALK there!! thats the first thing that came to mind… this dude is tryna stay FARRRR away from the UFC !!!
Bridge Burned
well, have fun in bellator fighting all that top notch competition friend.
All the fighters are tested by the UFC when they sign their contract, it is the athletic commissions job to handle testing after that.
might be their job{the atheletic commisions} but if the UFC wants to loose the doper image they are recieving maybe it should be the UFC's resposibility
Yes, Askren, that's exactly how you get into the UFC. Talk shit about the management…
I think the term liar is being used a little freely. However Danna saying it would be impossisble also a little over stated. They could test em they could test em all they could test em often. The question is how much how often does the UFC want to test them. Even harder question is how much how often do we{the fans} want them to test? I am against sterroids in baseball but I sure as hell liked watchin them hit balls to the moon on regular basis and honestly I watched more baseball when they did. Just food for thaught
You guys all seem to missing the point… It's not impossible at all to random test athletes in any sport. Look at Lance Armstrong; people literally just show up at his house to test his blood and he's contractually obligated to drop what he's doing and give them what they want.
I don't understand why people are so defensive about drug testing, it's basically encouraging people to cheat by coming up with weak excuses as to why it's too hard to test competitors…
I think a fighter calling Dana out on his BS stance is actually incredibly Brave. Especially since it could mean he never fights for the UFC. I'm not even a fan of Askren at all. But the fact that a lying cheat like Chael Sonnen can get busted with 16:1 T ratio, then lie about a medical expemtion, then lie further to the commission about and still have Dana defend him, and Still come back to fight for a title sends One very clear message about drug use in the UFC: As long as you can make money for the organization, you can do all the drugs you want… As long as you don't get caught BEFORE the fight.
Charles U farley you sir hit the nail on head. Dana doesn't give a rats ass about his fighters being all JUICED up as long as they don't get caught except in case of CHEAT Sonnen who he defended and showed up with all UFC brass in tow to all Sonnens hearings to defend him and turna blind eye to all his FEDERAL FELONYS and FRAUD convictions and lying to Athletic commisons members. Sonnen is the biggest discrace to ever set foot in MMA yet Dana white treats him like MMA royalty
Dumbass lost his non existent opportunity of ever being in the UFC
It's getting to the point where you can't find a sport without a doping issue.
As Dana stated he has over 375 fighter around the WORLD! USOC is the United States Olympic Committee big geographic difference there buddy. Think a little before you tweet!
Yeah, because there is less than 315 olympians in the United States.
It's a commitee…. Just like the nsac…. Therefore that's their job an already appointed to do that and Dana recognizes that so why should he have to
Airplanes (maybe you've heard of it), contracted drug testers, Fed Ex, problem solved. Cleans up the sports image and gets rid of the dope heads. Would cost some cash but chalk it up to the price of doin business. I think Zuffa can afford it.
First off Jake Sheilds, Ben Askin, and John Finch can go start a new company where queers can watch them hump for 15 min. Ben is the worst of all he is not a mma fighter he is a wreslter that stalls out the whole fight! Jake is at least trying to work on his standup. And what a dumb ass to call out danna . Good luck getting into the ufc not that u had a chance b4 but u sealed the deal with that comment dumb ass. And i have respect for all aspects of the game so b4 u go calljng me a idiot lear the diffrence between laying on a guy for 15min and lightly tapping his face and taking a guy down to either submit him or g&p pass guard try a sub attemp jot just hold them! So ben askin stfu and have fun in bellitar
Jeez, you seriously need to get hooked on phonics.. and maybe a remedial spelling class or two might help.
Whats funny is Askrens wrestling is so far and above what most of you UFC fanboys could ever compehend in million years that he could easily smoke Fitch or GSP in not only wrestling but MMA match but we will never know cause GSP will be retired by next year so he can avoid fighting A. Silva, Jake ellenberger, Hendricks and many more fighters who have gthe skills to take him out. I think its so funny GSP turned down an exibition wrestling match with Askren. Even jake Sheilds took to the mat with Askren and said Askren will be the best 170 lb fighter in MMA in a few short years and that was 2 years ago.
U are serioulsy a idot if you think that asken could out wrestle gsp or finch. Mabey in a straight wreslting match but i doubt it gsp is way to big for asken he would never last… and there are at least three of four wrestlers that he would loose to in a straigh wreslting match in the ufc ill name a few for you… gsp, finch, koscheck, hendricks, and i in a mma fight he looses to half the devision i guarntee it who has he beat in bellitar for you to even come close to thinking that he was anywhere near good enough to beat the top 5 ww in the world ?
who the fuck is "finch"
He can appoint a third party agency to run the testsfor the safety of the few who dont cheat. Is not that white physically will hold the piss cup for 375 fighters.
Dana was talking about round the clock testing. The Olympics do before event testing, and only once every 2-4 years. Slight difference.
To Dana's point the only reason we are having this discussion is because someone was caught by the system that is in place. Overeem pissed hot on a random test before the fight. Isn't that exactly what we want? A system of testing that catches guys who cheat by using peds?
Dana has already had a beef with Askren for NO reason…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw_megs0GlU
What askern says is irrelevant cos he's borin as shit!!
It's not even one athlete a day. That's gives one man a job for a year with enough days off for travel and holidays.
Its only possible for the olympics to test all the ppl because they only happen every 2 years so its not like theyre testing the constantly like they do the UFC
Bro, you mean 4 years right? Or do they start testing 2 years prior to the olympics?
I watched one of Ben's fights and I bet he couldnt even hang with the top 10 UFC welther weights. I bet he would fall asleep watching one of his own fights.
We all know it is possible to test all the fighters … The real question is if it will be a conflict of interest for the UFC .. It will be more detrimental to go down the testing road because dw might not want to find out the truth that may lie down that road .. He might already know and that's why it is not being implemented … It's such a great idea .. Every fan is scratching their head saying , " why won't they just test em all and get that out of way?" seems like an easy solution but no one is acting on it .. Dw needs to take a big step in the right direction and become a true pioneer in combat sports .. It would be inspiring for everyone involved in sports
I hope the UFC goes down if they don't clean up the sport .. They have the power to do more now than ever .. UFC is not like boxing business wise .. I hope they do so .. That way theyll have champs that are true champions ..
You hope the UFC goes down? So they can be replaced by what? Another organization who can't/won't test because of the cost of doing them? You think somehow that Bellator or MFC or anyone else is doing it better?
Wake up bro….cheats find a way to do it. Ask the NFL or MLB if they're catching everyone….
I don't disagree with either Dana or Askren here. Context is key…
UFC fighters live all across the world. It is tough, even with a ton of cash to test fighters in a post 911 world. Brazil, the Middle East, Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, etc. I wouldn't say impossible like Dana, but damn tough and VERY expensive for the UFC. Not to mention the hassle of sending whomever is doing the testing to these countries. Because the UFC really shouldn't be doing their own testing. They have too much to gain to be 100% impartial. SO that could be suspect. To get a more fair result, a 3rd party should do this, and the expense there is HUGE if the UFC is footing the bill.
Olympic Athletes are a little different. Most of them LIVE in the US and MANY of them train at the USOTC in Colorado Springs. So, we can find AND test those guys and gals in Colorado, and the ones that don't train there, MOST of them live in the US. Now, I am sure some of them live outside the US, and they, I am sure are reachable by the USOC and whomever does their testing. The difference with the expense here is that the Olympic gets PUBLIC (read government money) and is subject to oversight by the Gov. Not sure who does their testing, but I am sure that the US Gov can afford much more than the UFC, and knows exactly where to find most of their athletes.
At the end of the day, while I applaud the UFC for the testing it does do, it falls on the Athletic Commissions to administer the testing as the IMPARTIAL 3rd party/governing body.
Hey Ben, do what you do and leave the running of worldwide fighting organizations to people better suited to it. You're a wrestler who goes to decision as opposed to a President of a company who is making decisions.
You can have an opinion, but have an idea of the logistics and financial burdens incurred before you open your pie hole.
Basically the UFC is not really that arsed about it's image as long as it's making money. I'm in the British armed forces and they drug test us randomly no matter where we are in the world. I know the UFC doesn't have as much k
Doesn't have as much money as the British government but if it cared about it's reputation then surly they would make it there point of random tests. They need to take these steps before somebody gets killed, then the shit hits the fan big time.
there one loser that willll never fight in ufc now and make bigger money
who the hell are you to be comenting about the UFC for any reason. You fight in a joke of a dividion of mma called belajoke. When your someone who"s opinion means something maybe people will care!
Yea dana lied but do uk how much money it would cost to keep testing all the fighters its bullshit… He shouldnt have to babysit these pussy fighters that cant do it without peds

Floorboard Funk
My wife doesn't ride in my car very often. Actually, no one rides in my car very often. Randi had the pleasure of doing so over the weekend. We opened the doors about the same time. As she opened the passenger side door, a floorboard full of JUNK was staring her in the face.

Leah Morgan is glad to have her husband home with the family this week.
Valentine's Day is their anniversary. The Lakewood couple has been married for eight years, but this is their first Valentine's Day together in awhile. Guy Morgan is a CH-47 Chinook Flight Engineer who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He's spent years away from home.
"He's my hero," Leah said. "He's out there every day fighting for us."
Guy is back home now and anxious to reconnect with his wife, and this Valentine's day he's getting a little help. Wade Rosen, the CEO of www.enjoywishlist.com donated a romantic getaway to the couple.
"I thought if anyone deserved a romantic getaway and adventure in Colorado, which is what Wishlist does, it was them. So I wanted to help with that," Rosen said.
Enjoywishlist.com is a website that allows people to give Colorado adventures as gifts, and the Morgans got to choose one. There are options all across Colorado and the Morgans chose a getaway in Lyons. It seems like the perfect gift for this military couple.
"We are just so excited this year to actually be together," Leah said.

For three weeks, the students will begin the process of orientation to college level academic work, familiarize themselves with the resources and opportunities available through the College, get to know one another and bond as a class, and explore what it means to be a member of Eckerd's family of scholars.
How have they been preparing for Eckerd?
This summer, each student was assigned the required reading, Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity by Katherine Boo, Pulitzer prize-winning author and writer at The New Yorker. Ms. Boo will speak to the freshmen class about their summer reading as part of the Human Experience course on September 13. As the Class of 1968 Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Katherine Boo will deliver a public lecture on Thursday, September 12 at 7 p.m. in Fox Hall. All are welcome.
What will they be studying?
Autumn Term course titles range from "Unsp*k@ble Acts: Myth & Meaning in Greek Tragedy" to "Pinhole Photography." Click here for a full list of Autumn Term courses

Re: High End Hat Stands....Godsend or Gimmick?
OK any hardware manufactures reading this: We need a lightweight HH stand that feels heavy and thus solid. Maybe heavy legs and light tubes, or the bottom half of the legs heavy. A 10mm rod. Each leg removable (like AXIS, forget rivets, use fasteners). Keep it simple, well made and cheap. Figure it out, it'll be a best seller.
What'd i'd really like to see is a 'fly by wire' HH stand, having the effect of an E Kit HH where there's no transfer of vibration to the foot when the hats are struck... way more comfortable and no fatigue.

Learning opportunities
Through a unique combination of video, online, self-study, mentoring and hands-on training and experience, employees have an opportunity to continue to grow in their careers with The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. Employees may select career training options in clinical and non-clinical tracks. These options may begin with basic nursing assistant training and include advanced nursing assistant training, licensed practical nursing and registered nursing degree programs, management certificate programs as well as advanced degrees in healthcare management and nursing.
For more information about the Society's Career Lattice for employees, please visit www.careerlattice.org.
As a staff-centered organization, the Good Samaritan Society encourages employees to develop their God-given gifts and reach toward their potential.
To assist in this pursuit, the Good Samaritan Society's Learning and Strategic Integration Division created a Career Lattice for Society staff members in 2004. Various components of the programs were funded by a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
The Career Lattice offers staff members several training programs, certifications and degree options, made available through the Society and its academic partners.
The programs are a welcome alternative to staff members in rural areas who may not have access to a school offering higher education, as well as to staff members in urban areas who might be faced with long waiting lists for the schools in their areas. Most of the programs are self-directed, meaning staff members can study during times convenient to their schedules, while also continuing to work at their centers.
For more information about the Society's Career Lattice for employees, please visit www.careerlattice.org.
The following are some of the program options offered through the Good Samaritan Society's Career Lattice.
Advanced Certified Nursing Assistant Curriculum
This center-facilitated curriculum offers nursing assistants training to further develop their skills and knowledge. The coursework is supplemented by on-the-job training. Participants may pursue specialized skills and knowledge in mentoring, restorative care or dementia care.
Licensed Practical Nursing Program
Staff members may receive a diploma in practical nursing (LPN) through Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown, S.D. Coursework is completed online and clinicals are held in Watertown. The accredited program is open to staff members in South Dakota and five neighboring states.
RN to BSN Programs
Options are available online through several academic partners, including Bellevue University, South Dakota State University and The University of South Dakota.
Master's degree in nursing through South Dakota State University
Registered nurses looking for advanced-practice nursing administration, clinical practice, nursing education and leadership roles can earn a master of science in nursing through the Society's partnership with South Dakota State University. The online program builds on previous education and experience; the program offers two tracks, family nurse practitioner and nurse administrator.
Degrees through Bellevue University
Staff members can receive bachelor's and master's degrees through online programs offered by Bellevue University, one of the Society's accredited academic partners. Degree options include a bachelor of science in healthcare management, a bachelor of arts in health science, a master's in healthcare administration and a master's in business administration with a healthcare concentration.
Scholarships and funding assistance through the Good Samaritan Society
The Good Samaritan Society offers several scholarship and education funding assistance programs to encourage and help staff members pursue their educational goals, as well as continue their commitment to carrying out the Good Samaritan Society's mission in their daily work.

Women's Tennis: WVU Drops Match to Duquesne
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – The West Virginia University women's tennis team was defeated by Duquesne, 5-2, on Wednesday afternoon at the Ridgeview Racquet Club.
The Mountaineers, who were playing with just four players, were able to split the singles matches, but could not overcome the Dukes taking the doubles point.
"All of the girls that played did a good job today," said coach Tina Samara. "Losing the doubles point was a wind out of our sails kind of thing. It was my thought that we still could have won after that, but you could tell the team was a bit deflated after that."
Following an 8-4 doubles win by sophomore Mary Chupa and freshman Ikttesh Chahal, Duquesne earned the doubles point after it scored a 9-7 victory over senior Veronica Cardenas and junior Emily Mathis.
"Emily Mathis was again serving underhand today due to her injury," Samara said. "We put ourselves in a position to win in doubles, but we just could not pull out a victory."
With the Dukes carrying a 3-0 lead into singles that was aided by two defaults in singles, Cardenas and Chahal attempted to keep the Mountaineers in the match with their victories.
Cardenas, who moved into the No. 3 singles spot, recorded her fourth-consecutive and team-leading eighth singles victory against Duquesne's Judy Li, 7-6, 7-4. The win was her sixth in her last seven matches.
Chahal, who bumped down into the No. 4 singles spot, defeated Paula Gruber, 6-4, 6-4.
"Ikttesh did a better job of staying present throughout the entire match," Samara said. "She has been up and down with that throughout the year. Overall, though, this was a match that left our team disappointed, and they need to start finding ways to evaluate their success outside of team wins and losses."
WVU will return to action on Sunday afternoon, as they will head to Huntington, W. Va. to take on in-state rival Marshall at 12 p.m.
No. 1: Vanessa Steiner (DU) def. Mary Chupa (WVU), 7-5, 6-4
No. 2: Megan O' Sullivan (DU) def. Emily Mathis (WVU), 6-4, 6-0
No. 3: Veronica Cardenas (WVU) def. Judy Li (DU) 7-6, 6-4
No. 4: Ikttesh Chahal (WVU) def. Paula Gruber (DU), 6-4, 6-4

No. 6: Chandler Consonary def. WVU, default
No. 1: Chupa/Chahal (WVU) def. O'Sullivan/Li (DU) 8-4
No. 2: Steiner/Gruber (DU) def. Cardenas/Mathis (WVU) 9-7

Junc will be defending Sanchez to the bitter end... It is kind of sad to see this level of delusion.
I think Junc just needs a little more time to realize what type of QB Mark really is. It's been fun reading his post on how Mark is a better QB than Eli, and then seeing Eli win the Super Bowl in 2011 while Mark went 8-8 with 26 turnovers. Then reading how Mark is a better QB than Joe Flacco, then seeing Flacco win the Super Bowl while Mark went 6-10 with 26 turnovers. He could be 3 for 3 if Ryan wins the Super Bowl next year.
Of course it's important when The Buttfumbler's play may put his team in a hole, so long as he brought or almost brought them back - but unimportant when he gives them a lead in the second qtr yet loses because he disappears thereafter.
Put mark on NYG '11 or Bal '12 and the teams still win the SB. The Giants won w/ defense and Baltimore had so many weapons you or I could have QB'd them to a SB.
Flacco was being run out of town a month before the SB. Eli and Flacco are good QBs, nothing special.
Put Matt Moore on the 09Jets and they may have actually scored more than 7 pts at home to beat Atlanta in game 14 and beat a dead Cinci team even if their starters were in and trying for the full game for a legitimate winning record. Put Matt on the '10 team and they may have even made it to their only more than 2 post season games post merger SB appearance. Hell, probably could say the same about Rex Grossman
Matt Moore on 2009 Jets and we probably finish 6-10/7-9. Matt is a "good" QB on bad teams.
vs Sanchez who is an equal opportunity QB: bad on both good and bad teams.

Anna has sent her photo from Markikina. As you know that Marikina City is one of the ten cities and seven municipalities comprising the Metro Manila area (National Capital Region). It is approximately 16 kilometers east of the city of Manila passing through Quezon City and the Municipality of San Juan. It is bounded on the east by the City of Antipolo. On the north, by San Mateo, Rizal. On the west, by Quezon City. And on the south, by Pasig City and Cainta Rizal. It has a leveled terrain with only a portion mildly sloping. Anna does the job of nurse in a Medical Center located at Bgy. Anna is beautiful sincere and friends loving girl. She always tries to keep her friends happy in anyway. Anna has made promise that she will soon send some more photos of her.
Well readers this photo is of Kristine. Kristine belongs to Malabon city and studying in Arellano University Elisa Esguerra Campus. Kristine shares a little introduction of her city that Malabon is a first-class urban city located at the northern portion of Metro Manila, the Philippine National Capital Region found in the island of Luzon. The city is part of a de facto sub-region in metro Manila called CAMANAVA. It comprises of the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela. Bordering Malabon is Caloocan City to the south and east, Navotas city to the west, Valenzuela to the north, and the municipality of Obando in the province of Bulacan to the northwest.
Thank you so much Kristine for your contribution. Friends you can also send your photo easily through our contact form.
Kimberly Adrian belongs to Caloocan. She is high school student and sent her photo through our contact form. Kimberly says that she loves her country too much and prides to be a Philippine. She writes in her email that hundreds of years of history have shaped the Philippines into what it is today, a melting pot of cultures from European, Asian and North American cultures. If history is what you are after, then you will discover a vast number of historic locations you can visit on many the Paradise Philippines islands, from the walled city of Intramuros in Old Manila built by the conquering Spaniards in the 16th century, to the Rice Terraces of Banaue built thousands of years ago by the indigenous natives of the cordillera, and to the more recent ruins of Corregidor which served as fort for the American troops during World War II.
Here is photo of cover girl of Seventeen Magazine. This snap captured on crazy party of Roxy Summer Splash event. On that event some big names also performed with local bands like Altered Frequency, One Buck Short, Frequency Canon, Bittersweet And Pop Shuvit.
Mariel John belongs to Manila. She is student of post graduation. In the photo she is standing in Cherry Blossoms Hotel Manila. She tells that Cherry Blossoms Hotel is located in most attractive and busy area of Manila. The Robinson's Place Ermita right behind the hotel and the country's largest mall, the SM Mall of Asia, proud owner of the country's only IMAX 3D theatre and Asia's only Olympic-sized ice skating rink, along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue, a few minutes from the hotel. Around the hotel you can find best shopping centers of the city. Well Mariel thanks for your contribution, we would really like to see you again.

"It's almost like a heartbeat," says Firmenich fine fragrance perfumer Honorine Blanc, discussing the effects of adding subliminal food notes to fragrances. The Swiss company believes it has created a system—the FiFi-nominated Smell the Taste—that harnesses the craftsmanship of flavorists and the more abstract art of perfumers to create polysensorial scents that go beyond conventional food notes: the juiciness and crunch of apples, the bubbles in champagne.

In an excerpt from his new book, Charles Sell delves into the forces driving organic chemical reactions in fragrances.

Chemical reactions basically occur when instability or imbalance exists in atoms, molecules or ions.

Review for '5280 Joint Protector Set'
Deric Proos
I bought these to protect my Outlaw Jump Cue OLJMP while the pin description would lead you to believe a perfect fit it is a little off. Other than that this is a great product.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

What modchip do ou have?
Hello. I have a problem not actually with the usb loader but with the IOS that need 2 games and can't get them to run. 1) Red steel 2 need IOS 54. i put it on the usb loader but the game doesn;t play. 2) monster hunter tri. needs 223 IOS. same problem. i don't know how to make an IOS to run but i believe i'm doing the right way (from usb loader GX). With the Mplayer i read that needs 202 IOS to read my Movies in the external drive. i have install the IOS but nothing happens. Maybe i can't activate them and just only install them.
with softmode i am and 4.1 u version
red steel 2 uses ios53 and if you havent done before you need to do the alt dol method and you need wiimotion plus to play the game ...........(this can be found in the guide for red steel2)
when you installed ios 223 did you merge ios37 with 38
if you havent here
mplayer is the fat32/ntfs which ever format you using set to active

How to Communicate with Animals
Avoid those frantic chases before visits to the vet, manage multiple cats (or dogs) and foster cuddle time.
1Begin by seeing your pet as a living being. Say to yourself: that creature has a skeleton, a beating heart, eyes, and it learns how to interact with you by how you interact with it. Remember most animals, your pets included may not wish to cuddle. Many animals (for example birds) do not naturally show affection in this way and it may not have the same meaning for them as it does for you. Also some species of parrots have been known to react violently to cuddling. Macaws in particular have been known to gouge out eyes.[citation needed]Ad
2Notice their character traits. This is especially important with multiple animals. Most of the time they have very different ways, likes and dislikes, styles, and they respond differently to requests and affections.
3Put aside any silly supernatural notions and realize that you genuinely want to actively hear from them. You won't start to hear them speak, but they are more mentally present and responsive than sometimes assumed.
4Stay calm and level with the animals as though they can really hear what you're saying (because, in some way they can!) when it's time to go to the vet or administer some medications. They know something is up, and nervous aloof energy increases the chances of mayhem.
- Contrary to common belief, cats can be trained.[citation needed] It is easier the younger that the relationship begins. A combination of positive reinforcement and non-physical messages of disappointment and/or urgency when the act is not carried out will work best. Be consistent with the signals you use to identify and reward a request. That includes key words and phrases as well as visual cues. Most of the time this practice brings the owner and animal into a closer, more mutually respectful relationship and eliminates some of the minuses to having an animal. Keep this in mind when considering giving a pet to an elder or family with small children.
We could really use your help!
- Treat them the way you would want to be treated!
- Cats get the "midnight crazies" running around the house and jumping all over. They love to include you at this time. Get out the cat toys and play. These crazies may happen at 7 am or any time. Don't punish this activity as it is the way they burn off excess energy.
- Also, many animals feel safer and calmer in cozy spaces like a carrier or even a laundry basket with some blankets (for an inexpensive quick-fix) when traveling or dealing with a crowded house.
- You can tell what a cat or dog or a pet wants by its ears tail or the body if a bird is probably hungry by it pecking you or it is just trying to get your attention sometimes it is not any of those options if your dog wants to play he or she will do the "playtime bow" its kind of like them stretching the rear end stays up and the front goes down there are many ways an animal can react so show them that you love them.
- No matter what it looks like when you leave your pet, they really have a good time at the vet. I know from experience after it leaves its owner the dog perks up and is fine. They seem extra excited when you get them back and it seems like they had a horrible time but they probably didn't.
- Sometimes, it is better to forget the baby talk and reconsider the character of the animal. Sometimes, when used as a tool of persuasion, it works to the contrary and deters the animal from following your request.
- When you go to a cat don't just run up to it - slowly walk to it, hold out your hands, and let it sniff your hand, it may make them more comfortable about your approach.
- Try to get along with your pet! Pets can sometimes understand you! For example, when you take them to the vet, they start to make worried noises (such as whining, meowing a lot, etc.). Try to get along with them, or start a relationship with them.
- Of course, these practices may not work with all animals and it is prudent not to attempt such close-proximity activity with wild animals.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
KABUL, Afghanistan, July 9, 2011 Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said he believes the United States "is within reach of strategically defeating al-Qaida."
Panetta, who arrived in Afghanistan this afternoon, said the United States has identified some of the key al-Qaida leadership in Pakistan, Yemen and other areas.
"If we can be successful in going after them, I think we can really undermine their ability to do any kind of planning, to be able to conduct any kind of attack on this country," the secretary said to press traveling with him. "It's within reach. Is it going to take more work? You bet it is."
He explained his reasoning saying there are between 10 to 20 key al-Qaida leaders in areas like Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and North Africa and tracking them down would mean the defeat of the terror organization.
"We have undermined their ability to conduct 9-11-type attacks," he said. "We have them on the run. Now is the moment, following what happened to [Osama] bin Laden to put maximum pressure on them, because I do believe if we continue this effort we can cripple al-Qaida as a threat.
Panetta said al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri is most likely in hiding in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Area.

The Genghis Grill in College Station was packed Tuesday with those who wanted to show financial support for the family of Constable Bachmann who was killed while on duty last Monday.
The restaurant is donating all of Tuesday's proceeds to the Bachmann family.
People from all walks of life are having lunch for a common cause.
"To support the Bachmann family," said Kathy Powell of Bryan.
Powell came to Genghis Grill to eat and buy t-shirts knowing all of money is going to Constable Bachmann's Family.
He's someone she never knew.
"After hearing about Brian and all the good things he did and the impact he made on the community especially youth," she said.
College Station Officer Jose Alaniz has been selling t-shirts at College Station PD, selling some 2000 so far.
Tuesday he moved the sales here.
"I sat down with my wife and kids and thought of a way we could help the Bachmann Family out as well as continue on Constable Bachmann's legacy and spirit," said Alaniz.
Management at Genghis Grill came up with the idea to have something positive happen after the tragedy last week.
Lots of badges and men and women in uniform opened their wallets as well, including Chris McDermott, Chief Deputy of the Brazos County Precinct 2 Constable's Office.
"The outpouring has been tremendous," said McDermott.
"There's been so much negativity in Bryan / College Station the last week and a half, we wanted to do something to inspire something positive," said Joshua Hicok, Genghis Grill Manager.
Even Bachmann's young son Colby came for a light-hearted lunch with the youth of Christ United Methodist Church; surrounded by a community of people that truly care.
On Wednesdsay the Genghis Grill will host another fundraiser, this time for the family of Christopher Northcliffe, who was also killed in the shooting.
Next Tuesday from 5 P.M. to 8 P.M a fundraiser will be held for Barabara Holdsworth who survived the shooting.
The College Station restaurant is working on getting all eight Houston restaurant locations to join in too, since she's from there.

By jabeekley from USA on 2008-03-09 22:57:35Things I liked:Ram Air Gas Spring is smooth, quiet, powerful with no spring noise or reverberation. Not cheap, but after experiencing the difference, I'm extremely happy that I went with the upgrade. CFX was consistantly accurate right out of the box. I.e. no "seasoning" of the barrel. Fixed barrel is the best! Sturdy construction, including the cocking movement. For those of you that don't want to mount a scope, like me, the Tru Glo sights are the only way to go.
Things I would have changed:The girth of the muzzle component, which encompasses the front sight and cocking lever locking mechanism, is fairly significant and may cause the elevation screw to be pushed to it's limit.
What others should know:Elevation adjustment screw is close to "maxing" out. Probably due to height of front sight. If you're on the fence about converting to the gas spring, go with the gas spring, you won't regret it.

By george from USA on 2008-08-01 19:07:59Things I liked:wow-gas is unreal-very consistant.first group was 10 shotts in a 3/4 in. circle-harder to cock then springer but worth it.
Things I would have changed:rear sight-it is so maxed out it is loose(epoxyed base of it and it helped).trick would be to lower front sight so the tear can be lower! not a issue with a scope.
What others should know:for the dollar it is a 5 plus.very accurate and consistant! i have 17 guns-this one ran to the top of the heap!! service from pyramid is always excellent!

Help me out. What is confit lamb shoulder supposed to be like?
I'm asking this because, it's something I had never eaten until recently, and both times were very disappointing.
I suspect this is because it wasn't prepared properly, but I have no point of reference. I've never had good confit lamb shoulder. What I've had has been dry and fibrous like certain kinds of canned meat (don't ask). I suspect it was overcooked, but I need confirmation.
I have had confit leg of lamb and lamb shank which is usually quite amazing. Flakey, unctuous and flavourful. It's one of my favourite meats ever. The shoulder was nothing like that.
So was I served bad lamb shoulder or is it just something that's not for me?
