Each year, approximately 6,000 young people emerge from the care system in the UK. Of those, around 7% go to university. As a foster carer, you have an important role to play in helping your foster child to progress through their education and into the world of work.
There are unique challenges faced by children in care throughout their education. Many foster children, without parental guidance and a stable home, fail to reach their potential. Universities are recognizing that extra support is required to enable care leavers to access higher education. Support is offered to care leavers from initial application, through to graduation and also continues whilst they search for employment. Family encouragement is essential to help those in foster care to access this extra support.
Here at Aston University, we have a named contact to help care leavers with all aspects of university life. Patrick Coughlan can offer ongoing support and impartial guidance to young people. Patrick will treat any questions confidentially and will only refer to other departments or agencies internally and externally with the student's permission.
The help that we can offer ranges from help with the university application process and advice about accessing funds from the local authority through to support once they begin their University course.
When assessing all care leavers for Access to Learning Funds, (additional financial support available at University) we disregard the Care Leavers Bursary of up to £2,000. Students who have come to us from foster care may or may not have a home to return to over the summer and in the holiday periods. Aston University guarantees accommodation for 365 days in the first year and can help find suitable rental accommodation if a student would prefer to live off campus.
Care leavers may also be entitled to additional financial support from the Access to Learning Fund for assistance with their living costs during the vacation periods and should contact their key worker for a Foyer Bursary application form.
For further information about the financial support available for care leavers, please visit www1.aston.ac.uk/current-students/studentsupport/fau/care-foyer
If you would like to contact to a member of our student support staff, please email Patrick Coughlan at firstname.lastname@example.com

DanielleToronto, CanadaGreat Cleansing ShampooThis is my favourite cleansing shampoo...it works amazingly well. I use it about once a week, using a moisturizing shampoo the other days. It cleans my hair like nothing else and leaves it so shiny. I would say that original Neutrogena comes second in terms of clean. I have healthy, undyed hair, so dont find the shampoo too harsh, however you might if your hair needs extra care. Makes a great shampoo after the pool to remove chlorine.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

What is Trimethylxanthine?
Trimethylxanthine is the major active ingredient in the weight loss pill, Phen375. Phen375 is an alternative to phentermine pills, which mimics the rapid weight loss effect of phentermine but without majority of the side effects associated with phentermine use. It is also present in regular things like the caffeine in your coffee or your soda.
Trimethylxanthine is a stimulant that belongs to the same family of caffeine, ephedrine (well known in the body building world) and phentermine. These compounds make your metabolism go much faster, hence allowing you to not only have more energy to supplement your work out but to burn stored fats in your body. Trimethylxanthine has a prolonging effect with the chemical compounds in your body so this means that it also stays active in your body for a long period of time. This also means that you need not take too much of this compound to have it working inside your body.
How does Trimethylxanthine work?
Trimethylxanthine works by suppressing your appetite and burning the stored fat in your body. It also has an ergogenic effect – meaning, it enhances your ability to perform both your physical and mental task. This is due to the increased surge of energy brought by the faster metabolic rate in your body. If you notice, this is also the same effect of coffee on your body but in a pill form.
Since trimethylxanthine is present in your body for extended periods of time, you need not take the substance that often, thus reducing the risk of developing an addiction for it. This is a common problem in other weight loss aids such as phentermine. And this is also precisely the reason why the US FDA classifies phentermine as a controlled substance. At least with substances powered by trimethylxanthine, you will not have the same worries.
What are the Good Effects of Trimethylxanthine?
- Increased metabolic rate
- Increased mental and physical performance
- Suppressed appetite
- Increased energy levels
- All of which pave the way for effective weight loss
Below are the physical manifestations of the effects of trimethylxanthine. Some may call it side effects while others can simply see it as the drug taking effect:
- Increased heart rate
- Elevated blood pressure
- High energy levels for long periods of time, which can sometimes lead to insomnia
- Mental alertness
Weigh these effects carefully before you consider taking any substance with trimethylxanthine. At least you can be rest assured that this is already a modified version of other more extreme (and potentially harmful) weight loss aids.

NSU (5-6) got 19 points and 10 rebounds by Jasmine Upchurch while Keisha Lee added 16 points. Perez, a true freshman point guard, scored 12 and issued a career-high seven assists while making only one turnover.
"When Upchurch comes to play we have a chance to compete in every single game," said co-head coach Brooke Stoehr. "We are very proud of her effort tonight."
Perez's game-winner came from the right wing in front of the Lady Demon bench off a pass from Jasmine Bradley, sending the Prather Coliseum crowd of 1,413 into a frenzy. McNeese (5-7) called time and got a driving 8-footer from Ashlyn Baggett, a two-year all-conference selection, whose game-tying bid was off the mark at the buzzer
The Lady Demons led briefly at the start of the game and for only the final 4.5 seconds. They trailed by 10 late in the first half and were down by 58-50 with five minutes remaining.
Northwestern was behind 60-54 with 2:04 to play when Lee hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead in half. McNeese followed with a missed 3-pointer rebounded by Upchurch, who took a pass from Perez and sank a 14-footer with 1:11 to go moving the Lady Demons within 60-59.
"That's the thing we liked about her (Perez) when we brought her in," said Stoehr. "We love that killer instinct that she has and that never die mentality. She was the one that gave up McNeese's last score I told her to keep fighting and believing."
Baggett made it a 62-59 McNeese edge with a driving layup with 44 seconds to play.
Upchurch answered with a 14-foot jumper to move NSU back within one, 62-61 with 20 seconds to go. Caitlyn Baggett, also a two-year All-SLC pick, missed a 1-and-1 free throw with 16 seconds showing, and Upchurch rebounded. The Lady Demons didn't call time before Perez swished the decisive shot.
The Lady Demons take on Lamar Saturday in Prather Coliseum at 1 o'clock before make a three-game road trip to Sam Houston, Oral Roberts, and Central Arkansas.

Youth with Borders 2
Byline: REA J. UY, San Beda College of Law
When I travel to a place for the first time, I usually look up the place on the net or buy books on the subject. But all the good reviews I read in books and newspapers and all the great things I heard from people who have been to Thailand did not prepare me for the beauty and grandeur of the Golden Wonderland.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has always emphasized the linkages between culture and the broader aims of human endeavor. This has been part of its core constitutional mandate of "advancing, through the educational, scientific and cultural relations of the peoples of the world, the objectives of peace and the common welfare of mankind".
In 1972, UNESCO adopted an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Its mission was clear: to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.
Faithful to this mission, UNESCO Club Philippines- Culture Committee, under the guidance of its then vice president, now, president- Frederick Epistola initiated the first cultural immersion in Bangkok, Thailand dubbed as Youth without Borders: Getting to Know Thailand last December 2002. Encouraged by the success of this endeavor, UNESCO Club Philippines' Culture Committee, the Student and Youth Affairs Unit of the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Special Concerns, Office of the President of the Philippines and Youth without Barriers Movement, in coordination with, the Department of Foreign Affairs- Southeast Asia Division, the Royal Thai Embassy in the Philippines, the Philippine Embassy in Thailand and the Centre for International Understanding- Thailand, had organized the cultural immersion cum cultural study tour to Thailand entitled: Youth without Borders 2 (YWB2).
This project aimed to forge partnerships in promoting sustainable development thru cultural immersion and to promote understanding of the imperatives of cultural development and preservation in the evolving global order.
Fifteen youth and student leaders from different universities (including University of Santo Tomas, Far Eastern University, San Beda College, Miriam College, University of the Philippines, Ateneo De Manila University, DLSU-College of Saint Benilde) and the local government (San Fernando, La Union) formed the Philippine delegation to the cultural study tour to Thailand.
The delegates attended a seminar on intercultural education in Malacanang, which was sponsored by the Student and Youth Affairs-Office of the Presidential Adviser for Special Concerns. The Honorable Phairoj Vikiniyatanee, Minister of the Royal Thai Embassy and Prof. Felipe De Leon of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts shared and former UNESCO commissioner to us each country's experience on youth empowerment by way of intercultural education.
Indeed we found much truism to what De Leon imparted to us that day when he said we cannot explore, much more appreciate, the culture of other nations without first knowing our own culture, when we set for our five day immersion in Thailand.
The 15 of us were assisted by the Public Affairs Office of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from the time we check in at the airport to the instant we boarded TG 625- the aircraft that will take us to the Land of the Free.
At around 10:30 in the evening of April 16, we reached Bangkok and understood why it was called the City of Smiles because everywhere we look , the Thais had no other cares but to make one feel welcome in their country. …

North Shore loses 41-28 to Sun Youth
The North Shore bantam AAA Lions lost 41-28 in the opening round of the QBFL playoffs against Sun Youth Saturday afternoon at Riverdale High School. Photo by Rob Amyot.
For the first time since 2003, the Quebec bantam Football League will have a new AAA champion. The North Shore Lions were cleanly defeated on Saturday by the Sun Youth Hornets 41-28 in the opening round of the playoffs.
While the Lions were the only team to have officially defeated the Hornets during the regular season, their offence was outdone creatively and their defence could not hold the fort Saturday at Riverdale High School.
"We made too many mistakes in offence in the beginning and the defence just let us down in the end. It's too bad because it's a long season and these kids worked hard. They got better at each game. It's tough when you lose a game like this where it should have been closer," said Lions' head coach Warren McCaffrey.
The Lions lost a good opportunity to get ahead in the beginning of the first quarter when they fumbled at Sun Youth's 18-yard line. The Hornets opened the scoring in the beginning of the second quarter when running back Marcus Mitchell ran 52 yards for his first of two game touchdowns.
North Shore reacted on its next drive down the field. After the Hornets took a 15-yard roughing penalty that brought the ball to the 21-yard line, quarterback Matthew Zatkovic reached receiver Alexander John in the end zone to tie the game at 3:49 of the second quarter.
Sun Youth took back the lead three minutes later when quarterback Evangelos Zoubris faked a first handoff and gave the ball to Dynell Pierre who capitalized on a 30-yard rush.
Offensive leader Shaied Sarpey-Birch put the Lions back in the driver's seat early in the third quarter with a 20-yard rush that gave North Shore a 14-13 lead after the convert kick.
Sun Youth's offence ran the show for the rest of the game. Mitchell, with a 14-yard reception started the debacle at 12:25 of the third quarter. The Hornets got the onside kick on the kickoff and Pierre surprised the Lions with a 34-yard rush for the major on the next play to make the score 26-14.
Zatkovic connected with John again early in the fourth quarter to tighten up the score but Sun Youth added two majors later in the quarter to put the game out of reach for the Lions who finally bowed down 41-28.
"It was a tough game, very hard until the third quarter when we changed the momentum on them. We got two quick touchdowns there and we kept stopping them on our defence. They couldn't do anything after that. They had a hard time running the ball on us. On the offence, we had a couple of inside patterns so they tried to change their defence and we caught them outside a few times and it worked for us," said Hornets' head coach Zack Da Costa.
In another first round playoffs match, the second-seeded Lakeshore Cougars defeated the Laval Cobras 26-20.

Hollerith Tabulator Dial
The 1890 Hollerith tabulators consisted of 40 data-recording dials. Each dial represented a different data item collected during the census. The electrical impulses received as the reader's pins passed through the card into the mercury advanced the hands on the dials corresponding to the data contained on the punch card (i.e., responses to inquiries about race, gender, citizenship, age, etc). When the bell signalled the card had been read, the operator recorded the data on the dials, opened the card reader, removed the punch cards, and reset the dials.

Oklahoma State football: 2013 schedule heavy on games in Texas
The Cowboys will open their Big 12 schedule at West Virginia, their first time playing in Morgantown since 1928. Several of the former OSU assistants — led by Mountaineer head coach Dana Holgorsen and defensive coordinator Joe DeForest — should still be around to welcome the Cowboys to their new turf. Things didn't go so well for WVU in Stillwater this season, with the Cowboys handing the Mountaineers a 55-34 loss at BPS.
The 2013 season features three bye weeks, on Sept. 21, Oct. 12 and Nov. 30. The open date before Bedlam is particularly intriguing. In 2011, OSU used the extra week to construct a brilliant game plan that relied on heavy blitzing and gashing the Sooners with the run game en route to a 44-10 victory.
Bedlam returns to Stillwater in 2013 — but not until Dec. 7. That's the latest regular-season game in school history, which will cut into the coaching staff's winter recruiting period. But it's unavoidable in a scheduling landscape that is largely driven by television contracts.

Hot guys cast in Old Christine, Lost
In other casting news, that really hot Brazilian actor from Love Actually is joining the cast of Lost. His name is Rodrigo Santoro and, in case the name and the reference don't ring any bells, he played the co-worker who had the hots for Laura Linney in the movie. Not sure what role he's playing on Lost, but then again I don't really want to know in case it ruins something.
Old Christine: A Fair to Remember (Finale)
Old Christine: Some of My Best Friends are Portuguese
I really felt humiliated for Christine when she was visiting her maid-friend at the mean mom's house. She was forced to serve drinks and make hummus for the 'mean moms' while her maid-friend had sex with her boss' wife. Yikes! It was a nice, clean ending with Christine having justification for dropping her new friend.
Just an OK episode for me. I did enjoy the jokes about Christine's cheap $60 haircut and her $40 shoes. And, the whole Portugal bashing was laughable.
The New Adventures of Old Christine: Exile on Lame Street
There were two good things about this episode: Matthew (Hamish Linklater) and the box office guy. I missed the first joke from Matthew, but I did dig the game where he had Christine guess what people in the obituaries were asking for 'in leiu of flowers'. I sure hope the writers make more use of Matthew when Christine returns for season two. And, the guy in the box office did a bang-up job with his scene. He played the sarcasm very well, making Christine think she can get into the Rolling Stones concert at the last minute-- not once but twice. That could've been played over-the-top but he took a more even approach to it.
Old Christine, Close to Home get renewed
Also, CBS picked up five new dramas:
Old Christine: No Fault Divorce
Julia Louis-Dreyfus to host SNL next week
Most people don't think of Julia Louis-Dreyfus as an SNL alumnus; sure, it's been mentioned here and there, and she did participate in the various show retrospectives that aired last year. But, unlike Will Ferrel, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, and any number of big names that came from the show, when you hear JLD's name, the first thing you think of is Seinfeld, not SNL.
That might be because Julia wasn't used all that much during her time on the show, which was from 1982 to 1985. That was especially true in the classic "Short - Crystal - Guest - Shearer" season of 1984-1985, as the star power of that year overwhelmed whatever semi-known cast member was left over from previous years. Pre-Seinfeld, JLD was probably on the SNL fame meter somewhere around the Melanie Hutsell level.
Old Christine: Ritchie Has Two Mommies
It felt like the second episode of the series, anyway. The one-liners were uncomfortably delivered and old Christine was still having issues with new Christine and her husband dating. I thought we were way past that. And, I actually really felt bad for old Christine in this episode, with her son being so excited about his sugar-filled "fun" day with new Christine.
Overall, I say this episode was... eh. I'm not sure why the network held onto this one for May ratings but it wasn't a stellar edition of this show. I much prefer the Supertramp episode where Christine ends up sleeping with Andy Richter, or when she tries to combat racism at her son's school and it backfires.
Old Christine: Teach Your Children Well
Old Christine: A Long Day's Journey Into Stan
I was very thankful that this week's episode wasn't about the pet rat that Christine brought home from Richie's classroom. I kind-of expected the story to go along the lines of losing the rat or the rat dying. Why, exactly, was that rat even in the story? Just for the one joke about it staying the night? That's an awful lot of set up. Anyway, that's why I appreciate this sitcom. It doesn't go the direction of other sitcoms by dealing with stupid problems like a lost rat. Instead, it deals, in a very funny way, with big issues like loneliness.
Old Christine: The Other F Word
I was happy to see that Christine brought her brother Matthew along on her dinner date with her "black family", as she calls them. Matthew's always good for a laugh, like when he touts Christine's voting record by saying that she voted more than 200 times in the American Idol finals last year. Obviously, Christine's token "black family" was going to turn out to be a nightmare and, sure enough, the dad lands two big, offensive remarks about homosexuals (the F word). So, she gets a gay couple to offset the "black family's" bigotry. Of course, the two men say they don't like all the Jews at their child's former school. So, instead of diversity, she has introduced hate to her son's school.
New Adventures of Old Christine: I'll Show You Mine
Other than that, this was another great episode. This week, Burton is putting pressure on Christine to introduce him to her 8-year old son but Christine isn't comfortable. Even though I saw it coming from miles away (because they always pull something like this every episode), I still chuckled when Christine was teasing her boyfriend from the other side of the door and then she turns around and her family is watching. I think I was laughing more at Christine's grocery store/sex metaphor than anything else.
Why does "Old Christine" keep saying she's fat?
But what the writers really need to do is stop having Christine say she's "old and fat", or make jokes about her expanding rear end or how she's so much fatter than "New Christine" (Anna seems to agree with me; check the first paragraph of her latest review). I mean, really, have the writers ever taken a look at Julia? She's in fantastic shape for a woman of any age, much less one who's in her mid-forties and has had two kids (Julia, I mean, not Christine). The costume designer seems to get it; the clothes Julia wears on the show are far more form-fitting and revealing than anything she wore ten years ago on Seinfeld, and it all looks great on her.
So why do the writers persist with the fat jokes? Doesn't that play up to every stereotype of how women see their bodies? Can't they go away from the cliché just once and show a divorceé who thinks she's sexy? Wouldn't that make the show better? Let me know in the comments.
Old Christine: One Toe Over the Line, Sweet Jesus
Finally, we get to see a lot more of Christine's ex-husband, Richard. It turns out he's jealous of Christine's new boyfriend. Hypocritical? Oh yes, considering he is dating a 28-year old woman, also named Christine. And he's been flaunting young Christine in front of old Christine for the last few episodes.

Amanda Bynes and Doug Reinhardt looked like a happy couple Wednesday afternoon when they hit Pepsi's Pre-Inaugural Celebration, but things must have gone downhill shortly afterward.
By Thursday morning, Us Weekly was reporting she dumped Doug for exploiting her celebrity status.
But not according to the former Hills star. "She wouldn't even let me have a guys' night out without flipping out on me," Doug tells E! News exclusively. "So it's over."
Not quite, insists Amanda's rep: "She broke up with him."
So what really happened in this surprisingly sudden "he said, she said" split?
"The feelings are mutual. They're over," a source close to the couple tells E! News.
Doug told Amanda he was having "a night out with the boys" on Wednesday, says the source. Around 2 a.m., Amanda reportedly showed up unannounced at Doug's house and banged on the door.
The problem? Doug wasn't home at the time. Amanda eventually left, according to the source, and the breakup was announced soon after.
It was a whirlwind relationship for the two, who started dating in November and were recently spotted vacationing in the Bahamas together.

The bad news is… you've been lied to. This lie is the worst kind of lie. It is systematic, motivated by profit, and has shaped your view of yourself. This lie has cost you hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars. It has made you unhappy, frustrated and self critical.
The good news is... you can correct the situation. All it takes is a little information.
The lie? You have a skin type.
Seems innocent enough, but I believe this is the worst kind of lie. It is motivated by greed, gets embedded into popular culture and leads people into a cycle of frustration and self criticism. So, starting now, let's make it absolutely clear that this is not true. You do NOT have a skin "type".
Of course, it's not that easy to remove this idea from your mind. After all, you are TRAINED to believe that you have a skin type. You are told – from a very early age – that your skin needs to be classified as normal, oily, combination, aging, sensitive… whatever, forever. As a result, you now believe you must only buy products for your 'type'. When in truth, your skin is all of these things… and more. Your skin is a major organ. It requires you to treat it as you would any other part of your body. You want to practice good health for your skin.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why you have never found that perfect product for your skin type? Why you move from one product to the next, hoping THIS time things will be different. THIS time, you will find the perfect product for your skin type to achieve the results you desire.
The truth is… you will never find the right product for your "skin type" because skin type is an illusion… a marketing construct intended to make cosmetic companies money. Their priority is profit pure and simple by expanding their products into classifications called 'types'... not healthy skin.
If you want beautiful skin, you need to stop torturing it with harsh products intended for a specific skin type. Skin is very much like any other aspect of health. Just as you would eat right and exercise for a healthy body, you need to practice good skin health too. First and foremost, dermatologists agree that surface characteristics of skin vary based on a number of factors, including age, general health, diet, exercise, and the state of your immune system. If you have an unhealthy diet or are intensely stressed out, for example, you will see this reflected in your skin. In order to maintain a healthy heart, lungs, or any other organ, we must pay attention to the healthy lifestyle guidelines. Same goes for your skin.
Besides the general healthy lifestyle guidelines (i.e. don't eat garbage, drink water, manage your stress levels, etc.), as a health professional, I recommend the following practices for health skin:
- Remove Dead Cells: Your skin has a natural life cycle that involves cells dying and new ones regenerating. A solid skin care regimen involves gently removing the dead cells. (If you allow dead cells to accumulate, the skin will appear dull, rough and may even break out.) I recommend using a non-abrasive scrub used 2 to 3 times per week.
- Fruit Acids: Skin should have a pH of between 4 and 5.5, which is on the acidic side. The outer layer of your skin has a natural protective layer of acidic oils (the "acid mantle") that protects the skin from infection and harmful bacteria. If the acid mantle is stripped by harsh skin care products, bacteria can attack the skin causing rashes, discoloration, acne and other unattractive and irritating skin conditions. Rather, your best bet is using a fruit acid, such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid or Ascorbic Acid, to treat and protect the outer acid mantle layer and rejuvenate your skin. These acids can also improve skin texture by clearing away blackheads and reducing fine lines, acne scaring and uneven skin tone.
- Essential Nutrients: A quality facial mask featuring essential nutrients will help to deep clean and exfoliate the skin. I recommend a mask with kaolin clay as it will help stimulate circulation, leaving your skin revitalized, smooth and silky, without drying it out.
- Dead Sea Mud: I am a huge Dead Sea Mud advocate because it is rich in antioxidants and protects the skin against aging. It is also excellent for treating acne, psoriasis, eczema, and most skin irritations. It not only delivers important nutrients to the skin, but it also helps to hydrate the skin naturally.
Shea Butter: Shea butter is excellent for moisturizing the skin without clogging pores and has natural sunscreen as well as anti-aging benefits. Look for shea butter in its pure form, rather than modified, synthetic or mixed versions.
- Antibiotics: If acne is due to infection, antibiotics can be used temporarily, but long-term use can lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria.
- Aluminum Sulfate: This ingredient (common in deodorant) can be irritating to your skin.
- Botanicals and herbal ingredients: Just because it is natural, it does not mean it is good for you. Plant extracts and essential oils can be highly irritating and have side effects. Used in their proper context, herbs have been used to treat medical conditions for centuries. They do not belong in every day use products or you may suffer with side effects of the particular plant.
- BHA: Often touted as an antioxidant, BHA is a strong synthetic irritating ingredient that I recommend avoiding.
- Barium sulfate: Used primarily as a whitening agent in cosmetics, I also recommend avoiding barium sulfate as it is quite harsh.
- Fragrance: Avoid strongly fragranced products including those featuring salicylates and other irritating natural or synthetic plant oil ingredients.
- Isopropyl alcohol: This alcohol is an irritant found in many products that strip the skin.
- Lanolin: Lanolin is a common additive that is derived from sheep glands and may contain contaminants. I recommend avoiding products with lanolin.
- PABA: Commonly found in sunscreens and highly irritating.
Salicylic acid – Salicylic acid is a commonly used anti-inflammatory ingredient added to skin care products to reduce redness. Unfortunately, it can cause irritation and salicylic acid allergy if used for prolonged periods of time.
- Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS): Strong industrial detergent, used for foaming properties in many products, including toothpaste.
- Sodium silicate: Irritating antiseptic commonly used in cosmetics.

From the Desk of the Chancellor – December 11
The Strategic Planning process is moving briskly forward. Already 10 strategic directions have emerged in retreats, meetings, campus and community written comments, and the first stakeholder forums. Last week, the Steering and Planning Committees for "Vision 2025: Commitment to Indiana and Beyond" met to come up with one big, bold, transformational idea that could propel us forward in each of these areas:
- Optimize our Enrollment Management
- Deepen our Commitment to Community Engagement
- Increase Capacity for Graduate Education
- Strengthen Internationalization Efforts
- Accelerate Innovation and Discovery
- Transform Online Education
- Develop Faculty and Staff
- Promote Undergraduate Student Learning and Success
- Promote an Inclusive Campus Climate
- Leverage our Strengths in Health and Life Sciences
The group understands the context in which we are operating. Our city would have failed if IUPUI had not been created. In 1969, Indianapolis was a city without an educational spine. Forty-three years later, we have proven to ourselves that this institution exists because of our commitment to change our city for the better, and we have proven to our community that we can be better than "good." We can be a "great university for a great city" -- the phrase that launched us and the vision that keeps us moving forward—and we can be the "best" there is in some areas -- from Larry Einhorn's life-saving regimen for the treatment of testicular cancer to establishing a School of Philanthropy that, right out of the gate, has the reputation for being the premiere academic program in the world.
Moving forward we must embrace our distinctiveness. We are not like any other campus in the state. We are a unique blend of programs, location, students, staff, and faculty. Given our size and scale, what we do has potential for great impact. That is not just a slogan we put on billboards. It is true. Perhaps the smartest thing we ever did was to craft a mission statement that told people who we were, and what we intend to do, and that set us to a standard we collectively upheld.
As we look to the future, we have to hold onto what we do really well, and we have to continue to do it well. We owe that to our community and ourselves. The task before us for Vision 2025 is to make sure the strategic initiatives we put forward succeed up to our expectations and our community's.
What would your big, bold idea be to advance one of the 10 strategic initiatives in your field or place of work?

Miley Cyrus Slams Rebecca Black
The music world has been a-buzz since the song "Friday," an auto-tuned earworm produced by the Ark Music Factory, went viral. Seriously, EVERYONE has heard that song by now.
Including Miley Cyrus. And she's got something to say about it.
"It should be harder to be an artist," Cyrus pined to Australia's Daily Telegraph when asked about the rising viral sensation and her new song, 'Friday.' "You shouldn't just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour."
Oh my GOD, I know, right, Miley? Being an artist should require all the hard work of having your famous father get you a show on the Disney Channel.
To be fair: I think I can see what Miley was trying to say and I think she just said it poorly. I like to imagine her point was that there are a lot of other artists/groups out there trying to get attention and sell songs/albums, but are being passed over in favor of flash-in-the-pan artists who are mostly being treated like jokes. And honestly, I think she has a point, there are artists touring in vans and playing tiny, crappy venues in order to promote themselves and getting nowhere, but Black's song goes viral and suddenly she's the center of attention.
HOWEVER, to a certain extent you can't help things like that. "Friday" caught on while other songs don't, for whatever reason. ALSO: as I alluded to above, Miley doesn't have any room to talk about arists "paying their dues." Rebecca Black got famous for having a video shown on YouTube. Miley got famous for having a show on a Disney Channel. The only difference I see is the venue, really.
ANOTHER THING to consider: why SHOULDN'T it be viable for an artist to put a song on YouTube and go on tour? Social media marketing is a THING now, and many artists are using it to be able to pass on needing to sign to a major label in order to record and promote their music. And that goes all the way from Amanda Palmer, who split with her label Roadrunner Records after YEARS of creative differences, to independent bands like Philly's Robots and Racecars who are utilizing online tools such as Kickstarter to 'crowdsource' their new album.
Not that I think Rebecca Black is some new "damn the man!" symbol of freedom from major labels. From everything I've seen, she's just a surprisingly sweet young woman who recorded a song and video for fun and has unexpectedly seen them become a Thing. And you know what? That's okay.
As for Miley Cyrus, I think her comments about Rebecca could, unintentionally, spark a conversation about the current state of the music industry and the power artists now have to release music free of labels. But I'm really, really sad that the debate springs from Toxic Girl Hate. Miley can do her thing, Rebecca can do her thing, and we all get down on Friday.
'Cause you gotta get down on Friday.

During the holiday season, Sesame Place transforms into A Very Furry Christmas, a holiday celebration where the streets come alive with multicolored lights and music. Amid the festivities, a huge Sesame Street Christmas tree treats onlookers to a stunning light show as snowflakes fall from the sky, and a Neighborhood Street Party Christmas Parade dazzles with floats and songs such as "Jingle Bells" and "Let it Snow."

After they're tuckered out from enjoying rides (weather permitting), shopping for gifts, meeting Santa Claus, and feasting on special Christmas meals, families make their way to three shows, each performed three or more times a day. During A Sesame Street Christmas show, Abby, who grew up in Fairyland, learns about Christmas traditions from her Sesame Street friends. With a little encouragement from Santa, Elmo finds the perfect gift for Dorothy in the Elmo's World Live! Happy Holidays show, whereas Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe, Rosita, and Murray band together for the song-and-dance-filled Elmo's Christmas Wish show.

Sesame Place
Sesame Place, the nation's only theme park based entirely on the award-winning television program Sesame Street, is celebrating its 35th birthday. That means it's time for a season-long party, one filled with whirling rides and spirited shows featuring everyone's favorite furry friends—whether they're Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, and Elmo or newer additions, such as Murray and Honker and Dinger. Birthday fun also takes to the streets of the park in the form of the brand-new Neighborhood Birthday Party Parade. Guests can also explore the furry confines of Cookie's Monster Land, a new zone featuring five fun rides, a three-story net climb, and a soft play area for toddlers.
The end of summer also marks the beginning of Halloween at Sesame Place. On weekends between September 26 through November 1, the park transforms into The Count's Halloween Spooktacular at Sesame Place. Hosted by Sesame Street's spookiest resident, the park welcomes costumed guests for not-so-scary fun including Halloween-themed shows, a themed maze, and photo opportunities with Sesame Street characters. There's also a new Neighborhood Street Party Halloween Parade, as well as three new rides inspired by Count von Count himself.

Hoda Kotb, 49, Shows Off Toned, Tanned Bikini Body in Miami: Picture
Looks like wine does a body good! Hoda Kotb revealed her toned, tanned bikini body on the beach this weekend when she took a break from chilly New York to enjoy some fun in the sun in Miami on Dec. 7.
PHOTOS: The Today show's most memorable moments
Strutting confidently through the sand in a pair of flip-flops, the 49-year-old Today show standout displayed her lean legs and flat abs in a blue-and-white printed bandeau bikini top paired with white bikini bottoms and a semi-sheer white sarong. Her short hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, and she wore sunglasses to shield her eyes.
PHOTOS: The hottest bodies of 2013
This is not the first time the former Dateline journalist has stripped down to a swimsuit. Back in June, she and her Today show partner-in-crime, Kathie Lee Gifford, posed on the cover of AARP the Magazine in flirty one-pieces.
"We don't take ourselves seriously," Gifford said in the accompanying interview. "If we're having fun, our audience has fun. Fun is contagious."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest bikini bodies
That said, Kotb has been through some serious struggles. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, she underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. "You can be an optimist, and then the world falls out from under you," she told AARP. "At that point you either look for potholes everywhere, or you realize your life has margins and you stop wasting time."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- We all know Tim Russert, the well-informed moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press."
He's been grilling Washington newsmakers and journalists on Sunday mornings since 1991, smiling quizzically, resting his elbow on a desk and tilting his head during the broadcasts.
But if you really want to get an impression of the 57-year-old Russert, understand his affection for "Cool Hand Luke," the classic Paul Newman film from 1967. "It's my favorite movie," a grinning Russert told me. "I've seen it 50 times."
He explained: "It tells the story of the consummate outsider who had an instinct for people and followed his own compass."
In Washington, the closest a politician can come to following his or her own compass is to fess up to making a mistake, or even something as transparent as adopting a new position. It confounds Russert that so few candidates will come clean.
"I wonder why more politicians don't acknowledge changing their minds," he told me Friday in his office in the Washington bureau of NBC News GE, +0.07% "It enhances their credibility! You'd be stunned how the public responds to candor. People are tired of slogans, spins. People are desperate for authenticity."
'You'd be stunned how the public responds to candor. People are tired of slogans, spins.'
Which also explains why "Meet the Press," marking its 60th year, has been the most enduring and influential Sunday-morning talk show for so long. Russert remains television's best interviewer. His show makes news; he's well prepared. He takes the high road; he doesn't trap or embarrass his guests. He doesn't resort to playing the "gotcha" game.
Take, for instance, Russert's encounter last October with presidential candidate Barack Obama, the Illinois senator. Obama made headlines that morning by conceding it was "fair" to say that he was considering a run for the White House. What made that admission all the more remarkable was that Obama had told "Meet the Press" viewers nine months earlier that he intended to serve out his six-year Senate term.
More than ever, Russert has gained perspective in the past year from understanding what it's like to be a newsmaker.
Russert had appeared on the radio show of disgraced host Don Imus and had a high profile in the CIA-leak case. Last Feb. 12, MSNBC.com reported: "NBC newsman Tim Russert, who drew the biggest audience of Washington's hottest new courtroom-reality drama when he took the stand on Wednesday, testified against former White House aide I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby on a key part of his defense. ... Speaking before a packed courtroom, Russert said he never discussed a CIA operative during a July 2003 phone conversation with Libby. Libby has testified that, at the end of the call, Russert brought up war critic Joseph Wilson and mentioned that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA."
"It felt strange to be the subject of the story," he said about the Libby fiasco. Russert also said that he would return as a guest on an Imus show if the I-Man returned to the airwaves.
Russert has long felt empathy for people who try and fail in life. He will always live and die with the success of the sports teams of his hometown of Buffalo, N.Y. He grimaced when I mentioned that a referee's bad call had kept his beloved Sabres from winning the Stanley Cup in 1999.
As he was walking through National Airport one day, a stranger stopped Russert, saying "Mr. Russert, I'm the guy who ..." Russert cut off Scott Norwood, whose errant place kick cost the Buffalo Bills a Super Bowl win in January 1991, and said, "I know who you are, Scott. I think about you all the time."
High standards
Maybe because I hold Russert to such high standards, I was disappointed by "Meet the Press" last Sunday. For a moment, the exchange between Sens. Jim Webb and Lindsey Graham threatened to disintegrate into "Crossfire," formerly a noisefest on CNN that masqueraded as political commentary.

In The Domain from 7.30pm, join 60,000 of your closest friends for the Daptone Super Soul Revue; a huge outdoor dance party featuring Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band and Sugarman 3, with the super cool Binky Griptite from the Dap-Kings as MC for the evening.
From the House of Soul to the Domain stage, the Daptone Super Soul Revue is a nonstop 3-hour show starring a red hot selection of artists from the infamous Brooklyn label Daptone Records, the indie label which has delivered delectable nuggets of Soul, Funk, Gospel and Afrobeat to the world for the last decade. Musician-owned and run, the Brooklyn-based family of soul-drenched talent channels the spirits of bygone powerhouses like Stax and Motown into gilded moments of movement and joy. We dare you not to dance!
19:30 Party starts!
19:45 Sugar Man 3
20:15 Menahan Street Band
20:30 Charles Bradley
21:10 The Budos Band
21:55 The Dap Kings
22:00 Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Sharon Jones returns to Sydney Festival with her 10-piece backing band The Dap-Kings. Known for her relentless energy and soulful voice, Jones and her awesome band are the perfect choice to celebrate the return of summer and Sydney Festival!
They'll be joined by 60-something brilliant soul singer Charles Bradley, who was discovered late in a very difficult life. A fateful encounter with Daptone Records transported Bradley from an uncertain future to the release of his debut album in 2011 and playing to sold-out audiences around the world. Come see for yourself why he's nicknamed the "Screaming Eagle of Soul"!
With three full-length albums and one EP under their belts, The Budos Band finally make their Australian debut. The sound of the Budos has taken several turns, from the Afrofunk-inspired sonic lava and venomous Ethiopian jazz of their first two records to the Black Sabbath and Pentagram influences that began on Budos III and continue into the preparation of the fourth. Expect all of this at their show, where one might see b-boys break dancing to the band's funk and hip-hop beats; record junkies nodding their heads to the soul-infused melodies; and metal heads thrashing to the dark and ominous guitar and bass riffs. Simply put, the Budos kill it live.
The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of musicians from The Dap-Kings, Antibalas and the Budos Band, brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck to record hits in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. With influences reaching beyond the funk/soul/afrobeat architecture of the members' other projects into the more ethereal realms of Curtis Mayfield and Mulatu Astatke, and even Ennio Morricone, the Menahan Street Band creates a unique new instrumental sound that is as raw as it is lush.
Saxophonist and founder of Daptone Records Neal Sugarman is behind The Sugarman 3, an organ-driven soul machine who quickly defined its sound as a break from the academics of typical soul-jazz by focusing on the soulful funk element of organ music and avoiding the affectations and clichés which too often alienate jazz musicians from the dancefloor.

ROSES >> To everyone who took time and effort to thank veterans for their service on Monday.
ROSES >> To a group called York Community Veterans Outreach for its work to identify gaps in services for veterans and find ways to bridge them.
THORNS >> To Rutter's for seeking a demolition permit for the Hoke House in Spring Grove. This house was built in the mid-1700s. It's a piece of York County history. Please don't demolish it. Find some creative way to save and use it.
ROSES >> To Paul Nevin for pushing to preserve the remains of an old farmhouse in Native Lands County Park.
ROSES >> To Steam Into History for its interesting events tied to the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address (Tuesday). The operator of the historic replica railroad reenacted the driving of the golden spike on the Transcontinental Railroad and reenacted the Mathew Brady photo taken of President Lincoln at Hanover Junction en route to Gettysburg.
ROSES >> To York Academy Regional Charter School for its new playground, designed to look like a train station in honor of a school founder, the late Bill Simpson, a longtime lover of railroads.
ROSES >> To Junior Achievement of South Central Pennsylvania for its recent STEM Summit at Central York High School. The event is designed to spark student interest in science, technology and math.

THORNS >> To Condoleeza Rice for reportedly rebuffing an inquiry by the search committee seeking a new president for Penn State University. The former secretary of state said she was not interested in the post. She would have been an intriguing choice.
ROSES >> To 35 Spring Grove Middle School students for making a quilt for the family of Army Spc. Cameron Stambaugh honoring the service of the soldier who was killed in Afghanistan in 2012.
ROSES >> To news that fundraising efforts to expand the Reid Menzer Memorial Skatepark in York has reached the more than $400,000 level. To donate, visit reidmenzermemorialskatepark.org.

ROSES >> To Orendorf Elementary School Principal Todd Monos for reading to students while on the roof of his school building in Manchester to promote literacy.
THORNS >> To news that a teacher contract has not yet been worked out that is needed for the internal reform option to implement the financial recovery plan for the York school district. That option proposed by teachers requires significant salary and benefit concessions. If they're not met, charter school operators might be brought in to do the job.
ROSES >> To Crispus Attucks Association and the York Rescue Mission for planning to offer Thanksgiving dinners to needy folks.
ROSES >>To Gary and Barb Walb of Manchester for donating their tree for Continental Square's Christmas tree.

20 Reasons I would rather vote for Ron Paul than Santorum.
Seriously. If Voldermort were real and had death-eaters and all kinds of children's book baddies swirling about, folks would see him for what he is and fight him.
Santorum, however, looks human. We might not oppose him with the same magical wizardry. But he doesn't like humans.
Here's 20 Reasons I'd rather do just about anything than live in a country presided over by President Santorum.
1. "Gay People Should Stop Being Gay"
2. I like Republicans. Eisenhower Republicans. Republicans who like people, not just rich people. I actually enjoy watching the GOP debates, and hearing from "the other side." Yes, I'm liberal—but I'm American, first, and know that many Republicans have a different way of seeing things and that respectful differences are essential to democracy. But Santorum, lest you young'uns forget, was instrumental for many years in creating the kind of combative culture in DC that destroyed our leaders' ability to compromise and corroded their ability to see politics as more than a football game to be won at any cost.
3. Here was his victory speech last night: GODGODGODGODGODGOD not your GOD my MACHOGODGODGODGODGODGOD minus Jesus' compassion and love. (He wound up losing by six votes, which really is a tie—he ran a brilliant, grassroots campaign without any media attention or money 'til the very end—his surge's timing was impeccable—for all that he deserves great credit).
4. Does the thought of millions of Republicans googling Santorum make anyone else happy?
The Colbert Report
Get More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,Video Archive
5. His own nephew endorsed Ron Paul: "Santorum's interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working" he said.
6. He's virulently anti-abortion, under any circumstances: you know, rape, incest…but his own wife had an abortion. That's different. 2005 NYT article More hypocrisy? He struggled To Explain Why He Called For Clinton To Resign, Yet Gave Vitter A Free Pass. Also, John Ensign.
7. He says: States Should Have The Right To Outlaw Birth Control.
8. He says that waterboarding isn't torture, though even doubters who've undergone it for even a few seconds have admitted it is. Torture is un-American—and ineffective. (Megan McCain: "Rick Santorum telling my father doesn't know about torture is like Carrot Top telling Lebron James he doesn't know about basketball.")
9. His God would have a major role in your law. (dailykos.com) Still, other religions, like…"environmentalism," say, he calls "a religion of its own that's being pushed on the American public." More on that. Also, he called JFK 'Radical' For Believing In Separation Of Church & State.
10. Of course, a great economic and global threat, climate change, is just a Liberal Conspiracy. "The idea that man… is somehow responsible for climate change is just patently absurd. It's just an excuse for more government control of your life… I've never accepted the junk science behind the whole narrative."
11. He's wide-open to the idea of war with Iran. He says he would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities unless inspectors were allowed in.
12. Here's his remarks about DADT.
13. He believes God asked him to run for President. Now, I'm down with prayer and worship but if it doesn't extend to compassion and kindness…I doubt your "God."
14. He gets poor people, yes he does. "We don't need food stamps because obesity rates are so high."
15. He likes to talk macho, but the active duty military is overwhelmingly donating to his opponent, Ron Paul.
16. On welfare: "I Don't Want To Make Black People's Lives Better" With Taxpayer Money.
17. But, if you love Santorum, shop at Urban Outfitters.
19. Oh, Rick. "Santorum says fighting gay marriage is akin to Lincoln's fight against slavery."
20. He "Campaigns on His Disabled Daughter but Opposes Disability Rights."
Anything else? Anything incorrect, unfair? Let me know in comments, and I'll add/amend/subtract.
Here's 20 reasons I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul, though I respect him. We welcome respectful dialogue on elephant that we all can learn from. Here's two pro–Paul rebuttals we published.
PS: Ron Paul has some weird/questionable history…but he doesn't appear to be a racist.

17 Responses to "20 Reasons I would rather vote for Ron Paul than Santorum."
Jay Winston I can think of more reasons that that to vote for neither. But, yeah, Paul has a few good positions which he gets way too much credit for, while Santorum is a foul, frothy substance that I'm told is impossible to get out of your bedsheets.
elephantjournal.com Hah! Yah, if you read the above, you'll see my 20 reasons I wouldn't vote for Paul. I like and respect him, for the most part, but can't get on board for those reasons.
can I please go hide my head in the sand now…please???
Santorum: We Don't Need Food Stamps Because Obesity Rates Are So High really??? In my day LOGIC was a required class in college…did he skip? I love slippery slopes they are fun…
[…] a related note: here's "20 Reasons not to Vote for Santorum" Roger Wolsey is a free-spirited GenX-er who thinks and feels a lot about God and […]
Nice list. Very thorough! On a related note, see this blog on Elephant: http://wp.me/pWVFb-16pP
Rick Santorum: "Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." (salon.com)
And yet somehow I doubt he eats organic food–you know, food made more or less as God intended it.
Last time i checked the separation of state and church was one of the pillars of democracy…what is wrong with republicans , why can't they keep religion home where it belongs ?
Amen (pun intended): "Thomas Jefferson only put three things in his epitaph one of them was that he drafted Virginia's statute of religious freedom, which states (among other things): That our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions any more than our opinions in physics or geometry."
Disclaimer: I do not support Paul or Santorom. Being pretty liberal it's hard to support anything conservative. More importantly than supporting the Democratic party, is fairness and truth.
While skimming the list and read #16 I thought to myself that has to be out of context. I clicked some links and watched the video and sure enough it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4P01JKiof8
Ron Paul doesn't appear to be racist? Whuuut???
[…] Bonus. […]
[…] up karma in reference to that infamous moment in the Republican debates when Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul about a hypothetical person who falls into a coma after choosing not to buy health […]
One of my all time special quotes seems extremely fitting here "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure."–Jim Rohn

Miso soup is one of those comfort foods that seems to make everything all right whether your day didn't go quite right or theô weather isô less than perfect outside.ô Nonetheless, I hopeô this "suped up" version of a classic Japanese restaurant starterô becomes a fixture in yourô recipe book ô for a quick all in one meal or a starter forô your nextô family dinner.
If the voice behind the words seems a little different, then you've probably have figured out that "the other half" of Kitchen Runway isô behind the keyboard todayô to share a little different point of view onô some of our favorite recipes.ô Thisô is a quick and easyô recipe that takes a basicô Asianô ingredient likeô tofu and add some other new and wonderfulô accompaniments to it such as wakame and kamaboko.ô Wakame is a dried seaweed that doesn't look like much when its in its dry form, but comes to life instantly once it hits the water.ô Kamaboko is a Japanese fish cakeô that is bright pink and white and really is subtle and mildô in flavor.ô It tastes similar to theô imitation crab that is in most California rolls at the sushi restaurants.
You'll find that this isn't your average restaurant miso soup and that it will be quite heartier along with a deeper flavor.ô The color ofô the bright pink Kamaboko isô a beautiful contrast to theô rest of the soup.ô We like to addô steamed rice to theô soupô which turns it into a complete meal for us.
Miso Soup
Prep:ô 5 minsô ô ô Cooking time:ô 15 minsô ô Serves 6 to 8
8ô Cups Water
2 tsp. Hondashi (Japanese Bonito Fish Soup base)
1 Block of Soft (Silken) Tofu (14 oz. container), cubed
3 oz. Block of Kamaboko (Fish Cake), sliced
6 Tbsp. Miso Paste (choose yourô favorite brandô – I likeô the onesô that have dashi added in it)
ô§ Cup of Wakame (Dried seaweed)
1ô green onion, thinly sliced
Substitute 1 cup of fresh spinach for the wakame
*If you want to make this into a Vegetarian Dish, you can find mushroom based dashi (soup base)ô at the Japanese store.ô You will also omit the Kamaboko and can buy a miso paste that does not contain dashi.ô Presto – Vegetarian Miso Soup
Add water and hondashi to medium size pot andô bring to a boil.ô Once it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and add the tofu, kamaboko, and wakameô to the soup base.
Next add theô paste to the soup base by dissolving it Tbsp by Tbsp using two spoons.ô Place the miso paste on a large cooking spoon, using a regular spoon to pressand stir theô miso paste into the soupô little by little as pictured.ô I would highly recommend tasting as you go since the flavors and potency of the miso paste vary greatly from brand to brand.ô Don't worry if the soup base seems to turn cloudy and separates as it cools, as this is normal.
Serve as is or with rice.ô ô Garnish with green onions if you like.

State colleges: Nation's No. 1 volleyball team too much for Utah
The Utah women's volleyball team pushed the nation's top-ranked team in two of the three sets but ultimately succumbed to visiting Washington on Saturday.
The Utes got 11 kills from Shelby Dalton in the 25-23, 25-15, 30-28 loss to the Huskies in a Pac-12 match at the Huntsman Center.
Kaleigh Nelson led Washington (11-1 overall, 3-1 Pac-12) with 13 kills.
The loss dropped Utah to 13-3 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12.

Haddock put down 16 kills, while Kathryn LeCheminant, Hannah Robison and Alexa Gray all added 10 in the 23-25, 25-22, 26-24, 15-25, 15-11 win.

Unfortunately, Fashion has always been a huge influence in my life. That's probably why I MUST ALWAYS LIVE ON A BUDGET. Like many others, I'm relentless when it comes to budgets. Now that is where the GLAMOROUS IMAGINATION kicks in. I am the type of stylist who can interpret everyday lifestyle into a very GLAMOROUS one. Aside from MEN, I AM IN LOVE WITH BEAUTY and everything it entails. Beauty is what keeps me on my toes, challenges my imaginations, and only strengthen my weaknesses, as well as my strengthen my strengths. There are many definitions of Beauty, but we're all aware that Beauty happens most when we pertain it both, inside and out. I consider myself BEAUTIFUL and have the ability to translate Beauty in everyday life, but most importantly to every single person that sits in my chair.
I get inspired by many. Sometimes I'm too observant, closing my eyes only sustains that current thought process. From trashy reality shows, to celebrity gossip, to watching a long hour of Anderson Cooper 360, to dancing in the mirror like Rhianna, to singing obnoxiously loud in the car or shower, to eating messy burgers from 5 Guys, to styling clients, to pulling fierce new looks for my mommy, to spoiling my little brodies, to buying a pair of new Jordan's that I'll probably never wear in my life, but enjoyed camping out for, to building new friendships, to smothering my baby nieces and nephews, to spending time hand quilting with grammy, to kissing loved ones good night far away over Skype. Clearly, the inspiration is Beauty. Many try to down play Beauty, but honestly Beauty is, "What makes the world go around." Aside from the fabrications, we deal with Beauty every single day whether we are aware of it or not. Beauty is what challenges me and keeps me inspired. But the question is, "What inspires you?"
My favorite thing about RAW is the fact that they put spotlight on talented individuals, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent. It is a great source for talented, innovative, and creative artist to bring awareness of their greatest passion in life.
Aside from gummy bears,diamonds, and all shiny things, my Mommy makes my world go round. Let's just say Justin Jay wouldn't be Justin Jay without her. She lights up my life and would probably the only exceptional female in my life that I have all the love in the WORLD for. Oh. And my GHUBB. Can't forget the GHUBB!! Like every, "Girl who lives in a Material World," knows that we all need that solid rock in our lives to help keep up alive.
