Photograph - German Court, Fine Art Gallery, Great Hall, Exhibition Building, 1880-1881 Reg. No: MM 107920
- Summary:
- View of the German Fine Art Gallery display on the southern wall of the western nave in the Great Hall at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition held at the Exhibition Buildings, Carlton Gardens, between 1 October 1880 and 30 April 1881.
The picture galleries of the various countries were situated on the first floor balconies of the main Exhibition Building. The German Picture Court was next to those of Holland, Belgium and the United States, on the southern wall of the Building, and differed from the art gallery displays of other countries such as France, Italy, and Great Britain, and the colony of Victoria, which had their picture galleries directly above their ground level courts in the Great Hall. Due to the floor space required for the British paintings, which also consumed some of western wall in the northern transept, originally held for Victorian art, German paintings and decorative arts were located at the opposite end of the Hall to the German Courts immediate to the right of the main eastern entrance.
Germany exhibited almost 100 oil paintings, the majority of which had been shown the previous year during the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition. Several of the works can be identified in this photograph by their catalogue labels, including possibly Louis Douzette's 'Venice - Moonrise" (no.17), on the right behind the statue of an archer, J. Munsch's 'A Politician' (no.63), W. Marc's 'The Music Lesson' (no.54), and J. Huth's 'Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, on the Irish Coast' (no.35). Several large Meissen porcelain vases also adorned the German gallery, visible atop two pedestals in the centre of this photograph.
This is one of seventy-six photographs in a photograph album. Twenty-six photographs are of the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition. The photographs provide us with important visual evidence about the gardens around the Exhibition Building, and interior exhibits, including detailed images of the British Art Court, the ceramic and pottery exhibits in the Main Hall, and the appearance of the Avenue of Nations. The photographs are taken from glass plates and retain an excellent level of clarity and detail.
The album also contains a number of photographs in the 'Frith's Series', taken by British photographer Francis Frith, or members of his staff, of Gibraltar, and villages and towns in Britain.

SAN ANTONIO - Hundreds of wounded warriors and cyclists made their way through San Antonio on Saturday for this year's Soldier Ride.
The race takes place in 12 cities across the U.S. This year was the first time it was held in San Antonio.
The one-day cycling event is geared toward raising awareness and money for the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Wounded Warrior Project funds state-of-the-art equipment, including adaptive hand cycles and bicycles, to accommodate all kinds of injuries and disabilities.
"They put their lives on the line," said Matt Hester, a rider from Houston. "They come back and they don't have much. The Wounded Warrior project is just a great way for everyone to donate and say thank you, to give something back to these guys that give so much to us."
The Soldier Ride gives the community a chance to not only show their support, but also to ride alongside wounded warriors.
Shane Parsons, who lost both his legs after a roadside bombing in Baghdad, said he's riding to honor those soldiers who never made it back.
"It's just a sacrifice for a couple of my fallen soldiers, the fact that they couldn't be here," said Parsons. "They are in heart, so, I'm just ready to pull through the pain and just do it."
The Soldier Ride also serves as part of the recovery process, said Angela Hemmen, one of the event organizers. Hemmen said it gives vets a chance to get back out there.
"We want to honor and empower warriors," she said. "And, you see hundreds of people come out to every city we go to, just to show their support and say, thank you."
Parsons said Saturday he is very thankful.
"Just thank you for the Wounded Project," he said. "For giving me a chance to prove myself again. to show what we're made of."

Gareth Porter: The decision to attack by helicopter gunships, which killed 24 Pakistani troops and stoked a new level of anti-U.S. sentiment feeling in the country, has caught the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan in a rare defense posture, because senior officials don't know what happened and why.
Kabul Attack Continues Taliban Control of War Narrative
Gareth Porter: This week's Taliban attacks on multiple targets in Kabul, including the U.S. Embassy and U.S.-NATO headquarters, are the latest and most spectacular of a long series of operations that have given the insurgents the upper hand in establishing the narrative of the war as perceived by the Afghan population.

Afghan Attacks Highlight Challenges of Training Afghan Forces
Woodward's Exposé Documents What We All Suspected About the White House
Ivan Eland: If it weren't for the latest salacious bureau-gossip, the book would be rather boring—and tragic. Boring, not because the issues are uninteresting or because Woodward is a bad writer, but because the author records a dysfunctional White House internal decision-making process in which meeting after meeting features the same reasonable questions about the U.S. war in Afghanistan but in which nobody ever has very good answers to them.
The Taliban: Forced Into Negotiation While Winning?
Ivan Eland: Although David Petraeus, the top American commander in Afghanistan, recently peddled the notion that senior Taliban chieftains had made contact with senior Afghan government officials about the possibility of starting reconciliation talks, such talk of peace in our time is likely to be hype.
Main Effect of the WikiLeaks Documents Is Political
Ivan Eland: So the only thing the WikiLeaks documents reveal is how persistent the post-9/11 war and nation-building fever continues to be among the foreign policy elite—even in the face of the dismal results on the ground for almost a decade and a majority opinion in America that the war is not worth fighting.
Fight Them Over There, Not Here?
Learning From History: Can the U.S. Win the Afghan War?
Ivan Eland: Unfortunately for the United States in Afghanistan, however, the label of "foreign occupier" is an albatross the U.S. will likely never be able to shake or mitigate. Although the Taliban is often brutal (but may now be toning this down in its own realization that it must win greater public support) and unpopular, so is the U.S. occupation and the corrupt client government of Hamid Karzai.

1. A mom in Murray, Utah, forced her daughter to wear clothes from a thrift shop after finding out she was making fun of another student's clothes at school.
2. All of the clothes cost a grand total of $50, according to Fox 13.
5. The daughter said people at school talked behind her back when she wore these clothes. After two days, she said she learned her lesson and won't bully anymore. Now she can go back to wearing her regular clothes.
The daughter's face was blurred out to protect her from any further embarrassment, because, let's be honest, she's been through enough.

MORE
Jul. 21, 2015
The Upshot; Republican presidential contender Donald Trump's surge in polls appears to have reached turning point and is now declining following his comments criticizing John McCain's war record; data shows Trump's rise was largely driven by celebrity and media, rather than ideology, while decline is driven by party backlash and deeper examination of his views; media-driven surges are typically unsustainable.

MORE
Jul. 20, 2015
Donald J Trump's widely condemned criticism of Sen John McCain's war record is latest example of pitfalls of his campaign organization, which relies on Trump's own instincts rather than usual protective machinery of advisers; Trump's refusal to apologize despite enormous backlash highlight limitations of his political capacity, and have ended qualms among Republican officials about criticizing him for fear of alienating his supporters. MORE
Jul. 19, 2015

The Red Devils' boss hopes that his side can secure safe passage to the next round with win over Braga on Wednesday, allowing him to rest the centre-back in the remaining gamesManchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he is hoping that his side can secure qualification to the knockout phase of the Champions League against Braga on Wednesday so that he can rest Rio Ferdinand.
Sir Alex has had to make do with a makeshift defence on occasion this campaign, with the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones all missing large chunks of the season through injury.
|Rio Ferdinand is 18/1 with bet365 to score at anytime against Braga
"The game in Braga will give me a chance to utilise my squad. I'll be making some changes," he told reporters.
"If we can get the win it's better, but we want to make sure we qualify first. If we do, it gives me options to utilise Smalling and Jones.
"Then we can make sure that Ferdinand is fresh for all these games. I won't have to worry about playing him Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday.
"That's an important issue. I don't expect Vidic to be back until Christmas so it adds back-up in that respect."

The Century Tree
The Century Tree, located in the heart of campus near the Academic Building, is a place that holds a special place in the heart of many Aggies. Well over 100 years old, the tree, a live oak, was one of the first trees planted on Texas A&M's massive 5,200-acre campus. The tree has been the site of numerous marriage proposals, weddings and tourist snapshots because of its immense size and its unique drooping branches, many of which rest on the ground.
In addition to the historic oak, there are between 25,000 and 30,000 trees on Texas A&M land, which occupies much of Brazos County. They include such types as the Kentucky Coffee, the Jerusalem Thorn, the Western Soapberry, the Kawakami Pear, the Chinese Pistache, the Carolina Laurel and the Afghan Pine. Complementing the trees, some 150,000 plants are grown each year to beautify the campus, many from cuttings from campus plants that date back to the late 1960s.

Yo La Tengo have been called the "quintessential critics' band." Known for their own special avant approach to making music, they resisted the temptations offered by rock and roll stardom, instead choosing to make music according to their own rules. In staying true to themselves, Yo La Tengo have generated a following far beyond cult status that incorporates over 30 years of music and two generations of fans.
Consequence of Sound recently spoke with founding member Ira Kaplan about the band's new album, Fade, working in Chicago with producer John McEntire, and what the band thought of the Windy City's gastronomical delicacies.
At the end of Big Day Coming, [Jesse Jarnow's biography of Yo La Tengo] it seemed as if the band was ambivalent about recording another album, and now Fade is being described as "the most direct, personal, and cohesive album" of your career. What prompted the change of heart?
I don't think we've ever been ambivalent about recording a record. I don't think there was a change of heart. If I know what you're referring to, and correct me if I'm wrong, there may have just been a question of, in 2012-2013, if the music business is requiring another record from us and when Matador expressed… we went to them and said, "Do you want us to do singles? Do you want us to do songs for downloads? How would you like to see music being disseminated?" We just wanted to be smart about it, and they said, "We're still fine with the album." So are we as it happens.
You once said that Painful was where the group really started. In addition to the three of you, that album also marked the beginning of working with Roger Moutenot. Now, for the first time in 20 years, you are working with a new producer. What made you choose John McEntire and to record in Chicago?
Well, John is in Chicago, so that was why; having decided to work together, it was obvious to go work in his studio. I don't know why. It just kind of seemed like a good idea, and we didn't really examine it deeper. We've known John a long time, and when the thought of doing something with him came up, everybody just looked at each other and thought, "Yeah, that's a good idea." And luckily John, who is an extremely busy person, had room in his schedule, and it just all came together.
Were there any other producers brought up?
No. It wasn't like we sat down and said, "God, we can't work with Roger ever again." It was the idea came up to work with John, not to not work with Roger. So, when John was available, that was that. If he hadn't been, I don't know what we would've done. Luckily, it didn't come up.
Fade recalls older albums like I Can Hear the Heart Beat As One and …And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out but builds in more of a complexity. It also features some of Chicago's most experimental contemporary musicians. Did the equipment available at Soma and musicians in Chicago change the sound of the album from what you envisioned before arriving there?
I'm not so sure about the musicians, because the people we were working with there were pretty much just working on parts that we had come up with already. The exception being the string charts for "Is That Enough?", which Jeff Parker did. So, that was Chicago-influenced. As far as the studio and what's in the studio, I'm sure that had an impact. That's harder to be clearer about even for us. The process of coming up with things, one thing leads to another, so yes, I think there's a momentum to the process that the studio and John played a big role in. It's not like I could point to this, this, this, but not this as being due to that, but I know it's there.
This is the briefest album since Painful and also features the shortest song since that album as well. Was this a conscious decision to scale back, or did it occur more organically?
The song lengths was not a conscious decision; the length of the record was a conscious decision. We had tried to do that on the last couple of records as well. We had just tried and failed. This time we tried and succeeded. We had made that decision before; you would just have no way of knowing it.
Do you think the success was in part with McEntire?
I don't think so. I think we really had… For one thing, we went to the studio with less songs, with that in mind. There was a period, a moment, when we just stopped writing songs because we didn't trust ourselves to edit things off the record. That's typically what we've found. We'll record these things, and we have a hard time leaving things off. This time we did end up recording three songs that are not on the record. Part of that was made easier when we realized we could get it down to a single LP; if we left off one more song, we could do that. We were happy to make that decision. We were very pleased to have a single LP.
Do you think this is going to change your live approach on the upcoming tour?
Our approach? We'll see. I think so. I don't want to be committing to things that we may back away from, but we are kind of planning to approach things a little differently. We'll see if that works.
With that in mind, your live shows allow for the ability to stretch out and let loose. Do you ever create material with a live setting in mind, especially when you consider songs with the larger arrangements?
No, we don't think about that. We're just trying to play a song, you know, record a song that we like. That's really what we've been doing since the record was finished, is now trying to adapt them for playing them live. Some of them make a more seamless transition than others.
You made a point of saying that Fade was written as a band. Has your songwriting approach changed over the years?
Well, we've written as a band pretty much from Electr-O-Pura on, so in that regard, no. But I think the approach changes. I think certain songs, thinking about an older record, I don't think "Mr. Tough" was going to appear on a record before that one [I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass]. Our freedom to do certain things has increased over the years. The freedom we allow ourselves to do things, not that we've been allowed, but more within our approach to doing things. I think it's always evolving.
What was the experience like creating music for the live documentary The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller? How was that different from creating other soundtracks?
Because we were working on the record pretty intensely during that time, on the writing, we didn't have as much time to prepare that music as we would have preferred. Our normal way of working on film music is to write something, send it to the director, get the director's notes, work on it some more, send it back. Just have this back-and-forth process. We didn't really have time for that, so we had a couple of pretty intense sessions with Sam [Green, documentary filmmaker] in Hoboken, where we would play things and get instant feedback. The music came together a little faster and with a little more emotional intensity in the creative process. There were times when Sam couldn't hear things that we could hear, and we'd finally say, "Let us do what we're going to do" and "I think it's going to be ok." And then the opposite would happen. Sam would just say no, this isn't how he hears this certain piece. We were moving very quickly. I'm very happy with how it came out.
One other change that just seemed to happen — I don't think this was Sam's idea or our idea, it just kind of happened — was the music is more composed than a lot of the music we've done before for films, where the pieces can be a little more open-ended or more atmosphere-driven. Here a lot of those pieces have specific parts that are either played right or wrong [laughs], so we had things we had to learn. And for playing them live, that's another change. When you record something for a soundtrack, you don't have to play it a second time. You play something you like, and if the director likes it, you're done. Here we played it, and if we liked it, we had to then learn how to play it again.

Would you ever play any of those songs on an actual Yo La Tengo tour?
It hasn't come up yet, but it's possible. We'll see. We've done stuff like that over the years. Some of the Sounds of Science songs have shown up in a set. There's a couple of them — some of them are very short, kind of interstitial, that don't make a lot of sense right off the bat. There's a couple that could work. We'll see how things develop.
It is my understanding that you are all big foodies. Chicago's been known to have a few tasty treats. How did you find the food in Chicago, and are there any places on your tour that you are looking forward to?
Oh, we ate very well in Chicago. [Laughs.] We look forward to most places. We always look forward to making the most of wherever we are. That's a big part of it. We're on our way to Philadelphia tonight; that's a great city to eat. We're on our way to San Francisco, LA, and Seattle next week. Yes, we're looking forward to our nation's bounty.

Duncan, a rising senior at Anderson County High School, needs to be one of the top six finishers to qualify for the Junior Olympics, to be held in Norfolk, Va., in August.
Running unattached due to a scheduling conflict that kept him from competing with USA Track and Field, Duncan has had a busy summer. He competes in the 17-18 year old division.
Kentucky lost a good one last week.
Make that a great one that our state lost when Eric Chrisman, a Kentucky State Trooper who was less than six months into his career, died in the line of duty.
Our state lost a great young man who just happened to grow up in Anderson County.
Even though we were distant cousins through our mothers, I didn't really know Eric Chrisman well. I had seen him play basketball when he was attending Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg and really remember only one thing about his career.
Hundreds of mourners paid their respects to Kentucky State Trooper Eric Chrisman during visitation at Ninevah Christian Church Sunday afternoon.
Chrisman, who had just graduated from the Kentucky State Police Academy in January, died Tuesday when his cruiser collided with a tractor-trailer in Livingston County in western Kentucky. Chrisman was answering a call about a reckless driver when the accident occurred.
Chrisman, 23, was an Anderson County native and graduated from Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg in 2009.
A pickup truck driven by a Lawrenceburg man went off Harrodsburg Road just north of Bypass Motors and ended up in a group of trees last Friday afternoon.
The man, identified as Ray Searcy of Palmer Road, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
A woman and her niece were driving by when they said they saw Searcy standing near the edge of the road.

The groom is the son of Al and Rosanne Scott of Niles, Michigan.
A graduate of Bellarmine University with a Masters in business administration, the groom currently serves as an assistant men's basketball coach at Bellarmine.
Growing up in the south Texas heat, my sisters and brothers and I were always either in the lake, the pool or the sprinkler.
If for some reason we ever took a break from the water, we were running around barefoot with the other neighborhood kids, laughing and playing and secretly hoping to hear the music of the ice cream truck so we could enjoy a cool treat.

Exceptional Southwest Decor for Home, Office & Unique Gifts
What Is Southwest Decor
When you think of southwest style decorating, places throughout the western United States such as Colorado, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico come to mind. Although many homes and business in these areas have a southwestern decor theme, you can be located anywhere and still enjoy a warm and welcoming southwest environment in your surroundings. All it takes is a little creativity.
There are many interpretations of southwest style decorating and the definition varies from person to person. Likes and dislikes as well as experiencing the southwest personally, help mold these opinions. While the southwest to some may be visions of cowboys and Indians roaming the wild western plains, others visualize the bright colors and bold patterns of a Mexican open door market and cantina. Many may imagine rounded arched doorways so commonly seen in old southwest missions, while others see a Spanish touch which includes wrought iron furnishings and colorful ornate cathedrals. These conclusions are all correct and can be considered important influences for southwest decorating.
No matter which parts or how much of each aspect of southwest decorating you adopt, there are usually certain elements that are incorporated into a southwest style room. The first and major element is color. Color sets the stage for completing the artist�s pallet. Think of your room as a blank canvas and allow your creativity to flow into the room. The color you choose should be warm and inviting such as a member from the red, orange, yellow or green family. Accent colors are used as well. Associate the colors you choose with what you see in your mind when you think of the southwest.
The next major element to consider when decorating with a southwest style is the furnishings. Chunky wooden pieces, wrought iron and leather go well with southwest decorating. Furniture that is mismatched or imperfect add unique charm and tend to lend a relaxed feeling. Second hand stores and flea markets are great places to find a bargain for your room. When using existing furniture, brightly colored cotton throws are a good investment to give your old furniture a new look. Patterns and textures add interesting aspects to your room, and can be seen in throw pillows, area rugs, and accessories. Woven rugs and floor runners are vital for adding warmth and character. Geometric designs work wonderfully and tend to pull colors together from within the room.
To accessorize your southwest project, choose things that appeal to your personality. Surround yourself with things you love. That feeling will then be transferred to family and friends. Consider including items such as colorful Mexican pottery, Native American baskets in assorted shapes and sizes, and hand tooled leather objects. Items crafted from rawhide and cow skins also work wonderfully.
In any environment, the southwest being no different, greenery is important in creating a refreshing and desired place for the gathering of family and friends. Plants tend to calm and refresh us. Placed strategically around your home or room, these live beings welcome and give a sense of calm. Your plants need not consist simply of cactus for which the southwest is well known, place any type of plant in a brightly colored pot and it will be at home.
Another element that is equally important before you may call your southwest room complete is art work for the walls. Items such as a cow skull and paintings that include wolves, cows, bears, coyotes, buffalo and the eagle are certainly a welcome addition. Scenes from western or Indian art give realism and adapt to their southwestern surroundings nicely.
The main thing to keep in mind when choosing to decorate your home, cabin, ranch, lodge or office, using a southwestern theme is just to follow your heart. Enjoy experimenting. Be creative with color. And opt for the unusual. Anything is acceptable and remember you don�t need to settle for a cookie cutter environment where everything is magazine perfect. Imperfection is acceptable and desirable. Spending time in your new southwest environment will be an enjoyable and delightful experience to share with those whom you love.

A company expands its operations, sets up new facilities, extends its product range, brings in overseas technology. All these activities create a need for fresh recruitment in various cadres. Human Resources (HR) Management is in a position to recruit junior level and senior level personnel, but when it comes to the requirement for middle management or operating level persons in middle management cadre, they find the task arduous.
The reason is because the middle management forms a vital link between top management and the work force. They are the supervisory personnel essential for any company's growth. In today's modern management syndrome, they are in dire state of demand. Even should HR people manage to allure them to join the particular company, it is far more important to re-train them. This training is not a stereotype but it is more of a motivational type of training. A company which has strong human resources management system is able to retain these flocks, but they have to adopt very high levels of HR principles and policies.
The people who come from other companies in this category are tuned to that particular socio-cultural environment and if they find an anomaly, they will instead of increasing productivity become burden in the new set up. To avoid this, HR functionaries should take utmost care while carrying out recruitment functions in a systematic and defined method so that the new entrant does not find any discrimination between his earlier and present job. The following is one such system that will help ensure the successful integration of new employees; the four R's of HR management.
Recruitment is used to thoroughly screen the candidate's ability to acclimatize within a new environment. People will be inclined to join for various reasons – career growth, image and salary etc. But HR management is to find out in depth about the candidate's adaptability with the new set up and culture. This attribute cannot be assessed very thoroughly in a day's interview, so I suggest at least three rounds of interviews are to be conducted particularly for middle management cadre.
HR management has to interview the candidate first and then arrange the same by other departmental heads to form an opinion about the candidate's ability to accept a new environment and work culture. There have been far too many examples of new employees who have not lived up to their expectations due to an inability to adapt, and have left their position without making a significant contribution.
The second important aspect to be done by HR management is to rehabilitate. A new entrant will always refer and compare each and every aspect of the new company with the earlier one. If he finds a significant difference his aspiration level will be downgraded.
By proper counseling, human resources management can invigorate his confidence level and rehabilitate him so the candidate forgets the atmosphere of the past environment and concentrates fully on his new responsibilities and the job assigned to him.
The role of human resources management in re-training the new employee in the technical and commercial requirements of the company is very crucial. The human resources manager and the new joiner's head of department must devise the re-training schedule in line with OJT (On Job Training) /orientation so the candidate is moulded into the frame of new environment's day to day activities and becomes familiar with his peers and colleagues so that accomplishment of the responsibilities entrusted to him is being discharged successfully.
After so much work on the part of Human Resources, the person who joins the new company and leaves immediately, does not lose much, but the employer sure does. In order to retain these newly recruited employees, human resources should ensure the following course of action.
It is evident that if at least the steps stated above (of course there may be more) are taken with care and utmost attention, the new middle management personnel will think twice before leaving the company and may be with the company for life. However, if on the contrary, the environmental and cultural shock evolved from the new set up provokes him to leave then the HR department will be having nightmares because the entire episode will have to be carried out afresh in order to fill this difficult niche.
The most burning issue HR management faces now-a-days, is to recruit middle management personnel who are the bonding factor between the top management (decision and direction giver) and the supervisory staff and workforce. If middle management personnel fail to perform in the right manner and in the right direction, then the whole company's target oriented ambition and growth plan gets derailed and as a consequence becomes very vulnerable. Therefore, HR management must rigorously and religiously follow the "4R" principles when recruiting middle management personnel so as to continue the growth path of the company.

Strengthen Areas of Core Commitment
Our previous strategic plan (approved by the Board of Trustees in 2003) resulted in significant progress in a number of areas identified as essential for advancing our educational mission. While some of those initiatives have been realized and are now fully operational, others require continued or additional attention. Our first area of focus is on the completion and strengthening of that work.
- Further develop a diverse and inclusive community
- Complete the implementation of the Central Curriculum
- Sustain support for faculty scholarship and collaboration with students
- Complete the assessment infrastructure
1. Further develop a diverse and inclusive community.
Diversity is a core value of the inclusive excellence we seek and continues to be an educational imperative that remains a central commitment for Susquehanna.
As endorsed by the Board of Trustees in 2007, the Statement on Diversity and Inclusiveness declares Susquehanna University's "commitment to being an engaged, culturally inclusive campus. [This] entails understanding how … differences impact the ways in which we experience the world, the beliefs that emerge from and frame those experiences, and the impact of power and privilege on our lives. Such engagement takes account of the lived realities of students and is essential for effective teaching and learning, equitable governance and decision making, and healthy community life."
Diversity reflects the range of individual experiences, ideals and interpretations of the world that emerge from differences in cultural traditions and backgrounds. These differences embrace gender, race and ethnicity, religion, language, abilities, sexual orientation and gender identity, socioeconomic status and more.
While we continue to seek to diversify our community in the ways previously outlined, increasing representational diversity in the student body, faculty, administration and staff remains a focal point toward achieving the level of visible and invisible diversity necessary for institutional transformation to occur. This critical mass is necessary to elicit the educational benefits of diversity that will ultimately enrich all in our community.
A significant amount of attention and energy will be directed toward the completion of the implementation of the "Connections" section of the Central Curriculum (with its diversity and cross-cultural requirements) to give all students the theoretical, experiential and reflective tools to build more inclusive communities. In addition, faculty and staff development opportunities on issues of diversity and inclusiveness will be implemented and integrated into regular cycles of orientation, training and evaluation.
The special assistant to the president for diversity and inclusion/chief diversity officer (CDO) will support the creation of robust networks for diversity and inclusion across academic and administrative units. In collaboration with senior staff, the CDO will implement policies and procedures to make us a more inclusive community, noting that building understanding, promoting dialogue and creating support systems are areas of focus for us all. Progress will require collaboration and partnership among students, faculty and staff and will undoubtedly come with challenges that test the strength of our community. It is probable that acts of intolerance such as racism, homophobia and other forms of bias will occur. We will seek to be better prepared to respond to these incidents, to learn from them and to grow as a community through them.
- The university operates through a working model for diversity that is sustainable and that enables the capacity of the Susquehanna community.
- The provost, vice president for student affairs/dean of students and the chief diversity officer have increased informal and formal connections between departments such as the Centers for Civic Engagement and Diversity and Social Justice, the Offices of Cross-Cultural and Off-Campus Study, First-Year Programs, the library and others that can support cross-cultural learning.
- Communications about our commitment to diversity and our expectation for outcomes at every level of the university are clear, direct and transparent.
- The academic performance, retention and persistence to graduation for Susquehanna's students of color are comparable to those of majority students.
- The enrollment of community college transfers, international students and military veterans has increased, with academic performance, retention and persistence to graduation comparable to those of traditional-aged students.
- Students acquire cross-cultural competency through the "Connections" section of the curriculum.
- The affirmative action search process for administrators and staff is clear and rigorous and results in more diverse applicant pools for open positions.
- Benchmarks for representational diversity in our students, faculty and staff have been reached.
- The senior staff will create accountability measures for diversity outcomes via divisional and departmental Diversity Action Plans.
- The vice presidents for finance, student life and university relations, in collaboration with the chief diversity officer, will work to identify and increase resources and support for co-curricular diversity and inclusion initiatives that encourage intentional opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue and experiential learning outside of the classroom.
- The chief diversity officer, with the Diversity Advisory Board and the director of institutional research and assessment, will lead a group charged to conduct an institutional assessment and diversity assets audit.
- The vice president for enrollment management and the chief diversity officer will collaborate on developing and executing strategies for building relationships with community colleges to create pathways for academically qualified students to transfer to Susquehanna to complete their bachelor's degrees and providing appropriate support systems for those students upon their enrollment.
- The vice president for enrollment management, the chief diversity officer and the vice president for student life/dean of students will collaborate on developing and executing strategies for comprehensive admissions programs for international students and military veterans and providing appropriate support systems for those students upon their enrollment.
- The provost, vice president for enrollment management, the chief diversity officer and the vice president for student life/dean of students will work with the director of the Center for Academic Achievement and the director of First-Year Programs to align efforts to increase the academic performance, retention and persistence of students of color.
- The faculty, working with the deans, the provost and the director of cross-cultural and off-campus programs, will fully implement the "Connections" section of the Central Curriculum.
- The chief diversity officer, acting as the affirmative action officer, will collaborate with hiring managers to develop diverse pools and provide Susquehanna the opportunity to hire qualified candidates from protected groups.
- Responses to student satisfaction surveys report a more positive campus climate for all students, and students of color in particular.
- The Bias Response and Education Team (BRET) is increasingly used by the campus community to report incidents of bias and is simultaneously effective in its response, including documented resolution of reported incidents.
- The academic performance, retention and persistence of students of color, community college transfers and military veterans are comparable to those of majority students.
- Students demonstrate their cross-cultural competency through appropriate ongoing assessment of the "Connections" section of the Central Curriculum.
- The diversity of the American minority faculty is maintained at the fall 2009 level of 17.3 percent.
- By fall 2013, the Susquehanna community is more diverse and inclusive, as follows:
- Students from 8.9 percent American minority in fall 2009 to at least 11 percent
- Administrators from 7.2 percent American minority in fall 2009 to at least 10 percent
- Hourly staff from 5.0 percent American minority in fall 2009 to at least 6 percent
- International students from 1.8 percent in fall 2009 to at least 3 percent
- Transfer students, particularly those from community colleges, from 6 percent in fall 2009 to at least 10 percent
2. Complete the implementation of the Central Curriculum.
The Class of 2013 (entering in the fall of 2009) is the first to study under the requirements of the new Central Curriculum. Consequently, new courses must be developed, staffed and assessed to cover requirements, particularly in those areas that expand beyond the old Core, namely, language, diversity, ethics, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural and team and oral intensives. Success will depend on redeploying existing resources and deploying new resources to provide appropriate cross-crediting opportunities to maximize faculty and student flexibility. The Committee on the Central Curriculum will provide development opportunities for both content and pedagogy in all Central Curriculum courses and will develop tools for assessment of the Central Curriculum.
A major piece of the new curriculum is the requirement for a cross-cultural experience followed by a reflective course. High-quality, cost-effective opportunities to satisfy this requirement will be developed that increase both short and semester-long experiences provided by Susquehanna faculty and staff, and by exchange and consortial collaborations. For financial reasons, we must decrease our dependence on third-party study-away providers and create an adequate administrative structure to effectively manage this program within the boundaries of larger budget constraints.
Segments of this new and ambitious curriculum will impact faculty and staff workloads significantly, and mechanisms will be developed to support that work.
- Our students, starting with the Class of 2013, complete their course of study in the Central Curriculum without delays or inappropriate exemptions.
- Our students, starting with the Class of 2013, achieve the learning goals set out in the Central Curriculum, as well as the University Learning Goals.
- The Central Curriculum is a significant attraction to prospective students and faculty.
- The Central Curriculum is recognized as exemplary by higher education organizations and peer institutions.
- The faculty, department heads, deans, and provost continue to work with the Curriculum Committee to create the array of courses necessary to populate the Central Curriculum, with particular emphasis on those areas not yet fully developed: interdisciplinary, intensives and cross-cultural.
- The department heads and deans will ensure that students in every major have a clear road map for meeting the Central Curriculum requirements.
- The provost, deans and department heads continue to implement faculty workload arrangements for short-term GO programs and interdisciplinary courses, and additional faculty lines are allocated in support of these and other Central Curriculum needs.
- The Committee on the Central Curriculum works with faculty to implement an ongoing assessment program for the Central Curriculum.
- The Committee on the Central Curriculum, working with the Center for Teaching and Learning, provides ongoing, appropriate faculty development opportunities connected to Central Curriculum content and pedagogy.
- The provost, the director of off-campus and cross-cultural programs and the vice president for finance work with faculty and staff to create an adequate infrastructure and program costs for the GO program within appropriate budgetary boundaries.
- The provost and the vice president for university relations work to raise resources for off-campus and cross-cultural study through giving and grants.
- The provost and deans support their own and faculty and staff's dissemination of Central Curriculum successes in appropriate conference presentations and other publications.
- The provost and the associate vice president for communications publicize the Central Curriculum and its distinctive attributes.
- Our students demonstrate their achievement of the Central Curriculum learning goals through appropriate ongoing assessments.
3. Sustain support for faculty scholarship and collaboration with students.
Susquehanna University is an institution that values substantive, collaborative scholarship between faculty and students. Even with significant losses from the endowment, we will seek to preserve funding for these valuable experiences. Over the next three years, developing additional mechanisms to assist with collaborative and independent scholarship will be an institutional priority. We acknowledge that sabbatical leaves remain an important tool to support faculty scholarship and regeneration, and that they have continuing benefits for the university community as a whole. We commit to developing within the faculty an even greater level of accountability and transparency in the availability and administration of resources to support student/faculty-staff collaboration with the aim of utilizing them as effectively and equitably as possible. Because we retain a commitment to substantive interaction with students and because we believe that sustained and significant scholarship is possible at the present level of faculty teaching loads, changes in these loads are not envisaged. Rather, we will continue to recognize and reward a broad spectrum of faculty scholarship and creative activity and, where feasible, give priority to collaborative work with students.
- Our academic departments and programs, based on a review of current opportunities for student/faculty-staff collaboration in their curricula, have proposed or implemented additional opportunities in this area, as appropriate.
- Our campus recognizes and celebrates student/faculty-staff collaboration through increased participation in and attendance at scholarly and creative campus events and in other ways that demonstrate the value that we as a community place on it.
- A significant proportion of our faculty members are engaged in scholarship and creative activity and also collectively produce significant scholarship and creative works. Such work enjoys recognition and prominence in campus culture, and a significant portion of it is nationally recognized by the respective disciplines and professional organizations to which faculty belong through its publication in peer-reviewed outlets and performance in respected venues.
- Adequate internal and external resources are devoted to supporting faculty scholarship and creative activity.
- The provost, working with the academic deans and faculty, maintain and, as necessary, enhance structures to support undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity. These structures must include effective consideration of ways in which these activities are related to faculty teaching, scholarly/creative and service/citizenship expectations and evaluations.
- The provost and academic deans work with the expanded Office of Foundation and Government Relations to enhance support for grant seeking and grant writing by individuals, collaborative groups and the institution.
- The provost, working with the Division of University Relations and the Faculty Scholarship Committee, sustains funding to support faculty research, including providing some targeted opportunities for collaborative and interdisciplinary work. Such funding would continue to be distributed on a competitive basis but would expand proportionally with the expansion of the faculty.
- Maintain, proportional to growth, the level and quality of faculty scholarly and creative activity.
- Maintain, proportional to growth, student presentations at national and regional conferences and number and quality of student/faculty-staff publications.
- Maintain, proportional to growth, the level and quality of library resources and services supporting faculty and student scholarly and creative activity.
- Increase the number of external grant applications submitted.
4. Complete the assessment infrastructure.
Susquehanna University has made great strides toward establishing an infrastructure to support the assessment of student learning and of institutional effectiveness. The centralized approach provided by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment has prepared us for this long-term continual process. Our priorities for this strategic plan include seeking more effective strategies for using and communicating assessment data and more cogently telling the Susquehanna story, particularly as it relates to outcomes. First, we will enhance student learning assessment by combining the student learning assessment efforts of academic and administrative departments to allow us to better convey the seamlessness of a Susquehanna University education and to create important linkages across the university's divisions. Given the importance of the Central Curriculum in the future of the university, specific ongoing assessment tools will be created in this area as well. Second, and equally important, we will evaluate institutional effectiveness—the extent to which we achieve our institutional goals. Certainly, this strategic plan sets out goals for the next three years, and the successful achievement of the defined benchmarks is an indicator of institutional effectiveness. In addition, longitudinal assessments of retention, graduation rates, student and faculty/staff satisfaction, the range of financial ratios and other variables will be regularly tracked in an inclusive program of assessing institutional effectiveness. Furthermore, mechanisms for benchmarking and competitive assessment for continual improvement in our administrative processes will be developed to complement the Key Performance Indicators, which will be evaluated and modified as appropriate given this strategic plan. In the years that precede our decennial Middle States self-study, and as a matter of best practice, assessment will become more central to our daily work and to our ability to connect with our external constituencies.
- Assessments for each learning goal in all areas of the Central Curriculum are identified.
- Assessment data are used to make improvements related to each of the expressed learning goals for all majors and minors without corresponding majors.
- A communications plan regarding the assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness is implemented.
- Our faculty establishes a steering committee for each area of the Central Curriculum. All faculty involved with each area of the Central Curriculum are involved in the assessment process.
- The senior staff and deans, with the director of institutional research and assessment, will work with each academic and administrative department and program to design and implement an assessment program for institutional effectiveness.
- The senior staff will develop and communicate an institutional policy regarding the public sharing of student learning and institutional effectiveness data.
- The director of institutional research and assessment will draft and distribute to the community a biennial report compiling information on student learning assessment, with a focus on the University Learning Goals and on institutional effectiveness.
- The director of institutional research and assessment will propose an annual survey schedule that is approved by the senior staff.
- The senior staff and the director of institutional research and assessment will establish guidelines for and begin the implementation of a decennial review process for administrative departments.
- Annual department reports for both academic and administrative departments reflect the results of their student learning and institutional effectiveness assessment activities and the changes that have resulted from them.
- Susquehanna's 2014 Middle States decennial review affirms our work in the assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness.

Britain's Got Talent duo Bars and Melody could be set for stardom with big money tour
Posted: June 08, 2014|
A BRISTOL schoolboy could still be set for stardom despite only making third place in the Britain's Got Talent final.
Charlie Lenehan, 15, one half of Bars and Melody, were the favourites to win with Simon Cowell and the bookies.
But operatic boy band Collabro, who only formed a month ago, were crowned this year's winners after the public vote.
The five-piece musical theatre act impressed the judges and the voting public with their performance of Stars from the musical Les Miserables.
Opera singer Lucy Kay was runner-up, after performing Nessun Dorma.
Collabro pick up £250,000 and a slot performing at the Royal Variety Performance for winning the ITV series.
They are said to be close to signing a deal with Cowell's Syco record label.
But many believe bars and Melody will be the real winners in the long term with reports they have already been offered £500,000 to tour US this Autumn.
Welsh Leondre Devries, 13, and Charlie, from Frampton Cotterell, have reportedly been approached by promoters in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
The offer came after the pair appeared on the popular Ellen DeGeneres chat show and their You Tube video was hit.
Apparently they have also been invited by the Dubai royal family to perform at a private event and been approached by a string of clothing labels, corporate companies, TV and charities.
A friend of the pair is quoted in the Sunday Mirror saying: "They want to go around the UK first, but they're also really up for a return to America.
"Ellen has invited them back on her show in September and their management as has a load of offers, it's just a complete whirlwind."
Before going on Charlie from Bristol aid; "It's not about the money or about being recognised. We want to give our families a better life."
Cowell and his co-judges, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon gave a standing ovation to the two boys.
Also in the final were Jack Pack, magician Darcy Oake, teenage singer James Smith, violinist Lettice Rowbotham, dancers Paddy and Nico, The Addict Initiative and Yanis, Arnaud and wild card impressionist Jon Clegg.
There are reports this morning that Cowell is planning to shake up the judging panel for the first time since 2012 and there is even speculation that he could even step down.
Speaking to Bang Showbiz, the 54-year-old said: "I'm possibly looking at a shake-up for next year. It's about having a conversation to see how much they want to be on the show.
"Are they still into the idea of finding a star? I never want a judge for hire. I want someone committed."
He said David Walliams, Cowell sometimes overstepped the mark but makes the show interesting.
"He gets really over-excited on the live shows and says and does things he wasn't planning, then sometimes regrets it," Cowell explained.
Also on the show, Cheryl Cole performed her new record Crazy Stupid Love and Little Mix and Diversity teamed up for a show.

Baumhower: Strippers, midgets and porn stars, oh my!Written by Jeremy Baumhower | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Strippers, Midgets and Porn Stars … Oh My" seems to be the rallying cry from the Parents Television Council. The PTC sent 91 sponsors of NBC's "America's Got Talent" a warning letter of the upcoming "filth" from the soon-to-air seventh season, which premieres Monday. It seems that hiring of Howard Stern as a judge, replacing Piers Morgan has their perverbial panties in a bunch. I am here to tell the good parents of Toledo, the only thing to fear about Howard Stern on "AGT" is that you may fall in love with him.
Self-proclaimed "King of All Media" Howard Stern announced in December that he would be joining NBC's "AGT" as a judge, a deal insiders estimate will pay him $20 million for the upcoming season. "AGT" executive producer Simon Cowell, who hired Howard, told the LA Times "It's all gotten a little too safe, too predictable," and that "it needed a shakeup." If the show needed a shakeup they hired the right man.
The term "shock jock" was rightfully created for Howard Stern, whose daily radio morning show reinvented the medium. Howard saw an audience in males that were being ignored/insulted by the current radio content. He pushed the line of decency, brought adult entertainment to the breakfast table and in the process was fined millions of dollars by the FCC. The fines forced his show to move to satellite radio, where his name and brand help broker one of the biggest media mergers of all time between Sirius and XM. If there were a perverted media version of King Midas with his "golden touch," his name would surely be Howard Stern.
Stern's "Hall of Fame" radio career can be credited with inspiring many TV reality and game shows, like MTV's "The Osbournes," "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader," and Jay Leno's "Jaywalking," etc. What does this mean? Why would I point out ideas stolen/inspired by Howard's radio show? The answer is simple: Howard is not always dirty. In fact, I would guess that 20 percent or less is dedicated to pushing the line of decency. The other 80 percent shows the true talent and genius that Howard Stern possesses. The rare ability to decipher what makes great content made his hiring as a judge genius.
The letter from the PTC to sponsors of "America's Got Talent" states that "Stern's reputation for sleaze and misogyny is well known; and to our knowledge his only previous judging experience consisted of looking at insecure, naked young women and telling them whether or not they were hot enough to pose for Playboy." They are trying desperately to pressure advertisers into pulling their commercials and the season premiere has yet to be on the air. This blatant publicity stunt will fuel curiosity more than put out the fire, meaning they are sending more viewers than dissuading business. The PTC is afraid America may actually like Howard, so it is best to dissuade you before it begins.
If you love Simon Cowell, then you will love Howard Stern; if you allowed your children to watch "American Idol" and "X-Factor" then "America's Got Talent" is safe as well. Howard is only a judge, this is not his show, this is not his idea. He has been hired for his hype, opinion and audience. Your children will not be exposed to anything any different than if you took them to a circus; there will probably be little people and exotic dancers but not the same that has filled his radio show for nearly three decades.
They hired Howard Stern to save a failing show on a floundering network and Howard agreed because he is ready to shave his "Shock Jock" persona. It is definitely not about the money as Stern's current and last contract pushed his net worth presumably around $1 billion. This is another challenge for Howard to demonstrate to the world his talent; it's another medium to conquer.
I promise you that if you allow your 8-year-old daughter to watch "AGT," she will not want to be a stripper, she will not be requesting a chrome pole for her ninth birthday, your 10-year-old son will not suddenly be evaluating girls with a laser pointer, pointing out obvious flaws. I can also promise that if you watch "America's Got Talent" as a family, there might be something for everyone in the hour-long broadcast, and if you watch with an open mind, you may see what I have heard for the last 20 years … Howard's Got Talent.
Baba Booey.
Did you know: Howard's loyal fan base includes the biggest names in entertainment today? Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow, Jimmy Kimmel, Natalie Maines, John Favreau and Jeff Probst all listen daily and some even participate in a "Celebrity Superfan Roundtable" show that airs on SiriusXm.
