U.N. Fellows Discuss New Media and its Effects on International Journalism
Contact: Gina Vergel
(212) 636-7175
Anika Kentish, a radio reporter for Observer Radio from Antigua and Barbuda, is no stranger to using the Internet to report breaking news.
When the now-infamous magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti in January, Kentish was able to interview Haitians who had Internet access on Observer Radio using Skype video.
Jonathan Sanders, Ph.D.

Using the Web and even cell phones to report news under a variety of challenging conditions was the topic of a workshop on "International Affairs and Journalism on the Internet" that Kentish, along with nine other foreign journalists, attended at Fordham's Rose Hill campus in the Bronx. The journalists, who hail from countries such as Bahrain, Mozambique and Togo, are visiting the country as part of the United Nations' Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalists Fellowship Program. This is the
third time Fordham has hosted the Al-Farra fellows in as many years.
"I was thrilled when members from the UN's Advocacy and Special Events and the Department of Public Information opened a discussion about partnering with their journalism fellowship program three years ago," said Robin Andersen, Ph.D., professor of communication and media studies and associate chair of the graduate program in public communications, which hosted the fellows. "We provide the journalists with two days of intense professional training in covering global affairs."
On Oct. 14, the journalists sat in on a workshop with Jonathan Sanders, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor in the communication and media studies department. The veteran international reporter, telecommunication innovator, and long-time CBS News Moscow Correspondent, regaled the group with stories about his journalism career and how the craft has evolved in the age of the Internet.
"There's no longer thinking in columns," he said. "This is not pie-in-the-sky, it's what's happening.
"The New York Times, which is arguable the single best newspaper in international reporting, they are turning to more video," Sanders added. "This [field] is changing. The Times even streams a newsroom planning discussion every day at 1:30 p.m., called 'TimesCast,' in which they show their decision making process for the next day's paper. This sets a lot of agendas in the world."
Sanders showed various clips featured on the Associated Press or foreign news websites in which the news was shot using nothing more than a cell phone camera.
Perhaps the most jarring was the footage of the death of Neda Agha-Soltan, which drew international attention after she was killed during the 2009 Iranian election protests. Bystanders and broadcast captured her death on video over the Internet and the video became a rallying point for the reformist opposition.
"They were able to get this footage out of Iran on a fiber optic cable because it was well-shot," Sanders said of the grim video, which shows Agha-Soltan dying as passersby and family surround her, crying and screaming. "You have to know how to shoot video from your cell phone with very minimal shaking, if any. This can be really hard when people are shooting at you."
The journalists hailed from countries such as Bahrain,
Mozambique and Togo.

Sanders said video allows the viewer to go on a "magic carpet ride" of sorts.
"This technology seems like magic," he said. "It allows us to transfer images from one side of the world to another at a very low cost.
"You can do this. Images are seizing power around the world. You have to use the tools," Sanders said.
Participants attended two days of workshops including topics such as, "Photojournalism, Conflict and Crisis" and "Mass Media Law in the U.S." Members of the Fordham faculty led the workshops.
The fellowship was well established before taking its name from Al-Farra, a U.N. public information employee who died in 2003 in an attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad. For the past 30 years, it has invited radio, print and television reporters from around the world to live and work in New York.
This year's crop of journalists, who are in the country for six weeks, have thus far attended several events at the United Nations and have visited major media organizations and relevant non-governmental organizations in New York City. They will also visit the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C.
Rhoda Mfwango, a reporter for Radio Phoenix in Zambia, said she really enjoyed her time at Fordham.
"It's been great," she said. "I learned a lot."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to approximately 14,700students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in Westchester, the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College in the United Kingdom.

Owls earn split
Monday, March 26, 2012
FULTON — The William Woods Owls used the pitching and hitting of Kelsey Schulte to earn a split in a doubleheader with Baker University on Sunday.
In the second game of a home twinbill, Schulte (Eugene High School) pitched all 10 innings in the Owls' 2-1 victory. She scattered six hits while giving up an unearned run and struck out four while walking five.
Schulte ended up with two hits and one RBI in the contest.

When Fighting The Fed Pays - Biotechs Hit Record Highs
Presented with little comment aside to note Biotechs are up 33% from the April lows and have reached all-time record highs and have now totally ignored 2 warnings from Yellen - who just last week was heralded as omnipotent.
This is the best 3-week run in 13 months...

biotechs is the way to make the most bucks with all these leaked FDA annoucements to hedgies like Steven A Cohen, Bill Ackman.....Biotechs are all inside information driven...Yellen talked it down a few months ago so her buddies could load up knowing that there was a spike to come after...I saw how GILD tanked from the 80s to the mid 60s and now its over 100. This entire thing is being orchestrated to allow certain people to make out like bandits. Look at ITMN, PBYI, ICPT.
Yellen doesn't know her cunt from a hole in the ground
I'll be honest, finding a cure for a cancer and a cure for Ebolia, just a few days after Yellen warned on 99x P/CF(clean) shut me up good. Just ride the wave, just like the biotech run in "cloning" companies in the 90's. It's all cool.
Apparently the market sees things differently... All I hear is how everything is undervalued, especially biotech.
Glad I have this figured out: stocks go UP when there's QE, UP MOAR during tapering, UP MOAR for bad news, UP MOAR for good news, UP MOAR for bad earnings, UP MOAR for good earnings....
Also: Joe Biden says girls lack the same rights as boys---
<---------- ZH is an absolute joke.
<---------- ZH's accuracy rate is approx. 1%
<---------- smcapmachine is an absolute joke.
<---------- ZH is an absolute joke.
ZH's perfect inverse correlation to the SPX has made me a very rich man. Don't be hatin'
Yeah, but don't forget, this isn't an "investment" site. It's a economic morality OCD site. Huge difference. We're not here to win, we're here to bitch about those who are!
Every now and then some teeny bopper on here gets upset because they would hear Tyler ranting about how fucking broke the market is, and they would take that as a cue that the collapse was imminent. So they go out, buy some OOM SPY puts, and then come back here fuming when they are shocked to see the market continuing to go up and to the right.
Instead of bitching about how 'wrong' Tyler is, why dont you critically analyze the information Tyler has thanklessly given you, to profit in ways the e-trade babies cannot? NotarealAmerican, you always talk about your DowBuck. Fuck you and your DowBuck. You know what curb stomps the piss out of your Dow Bucks ala Edward Norton in American History X? XIV. Every fucking day Tyler shows how VIX is the preferred instrument of choice for market manipulation which makes it more bullish than bullshit.com during the tech bubble. And anyone who is capable of critical thought would have by now used this information to be up 70% over the past 12 mon. But instead of, god forbid, using the information Tyler gives you in a clever and unique way you are too busy self-glorifying , thinking you are the next Michael fuckin Burry because you bought an index fund.
Asshole. GTFO this site, you dont deserve Tyler's Chipotle-shit-stained underwear.
-ZH got the inflation part right
-ZH forgot the part about inflation and it's correlation to the S&P, Naz and Dow
The market will continue to go up based on the simple economics of inflation
Yellen is still a retarded geriatric cunt
That's how you paint the NDX tape. If we work real hard this last hour we may be able to match the volume from last Christmas Eve.
July 15, 2014
TWTR up 26% since that date
Hey, there's a Maserati ad at the top of ZH ! Have we broken into some new ad demographic?
All I have to say is: thank you Mr. Yellen for fucking up future generation by making it so easy a Cramer can do it.
Janet "Call me Bubbles" Yellen has no idea that it is too late. There is too much stimulus in place. So much for jawboning and macroprudential regulation. Only a blunt tool will work now.
Have you ever visited one of these labs? I have and they're creepy. No way I'd invest in something creepy, it's just wrong.

text: Loch Lomond is a band based in Portland, Oregon, United States that was started as a solo recording project of Ritchie Young in 2003. With help of engineer/producer Rob Oberdorder, Young crafted the first Loch Lomond album, When We Were Mountains, which was released on In Music We Trust Records. Over the next few years, Loch Lomond performed around Portland and the Pacific Northwest in various incarnations. Live performances would range from Young by himself to a full band. During this time, many different recording sessions took place in various studios and homes. These recordings were compiled on the early 2006 EP Lament For Children. In the later half of 2006, Loch Lomond solidified into a nine-person band. In this format, they produced their 2007 album "Paper the Walls", which was more reminiscent of traditional chamber folk music while featuring many non-traditional instruments. They toured with The Decemberists in late 2008.

April 29, 2016
An administrative law judge has ordered that two North Carolina probation officials demoted last year regain their supervisory jobs with back pay.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that Cheryl Morris was a chief probation and parole officer in Durham County and Cindy Faison performed the same role in Wake County.
They were demoted last summer as probation officials dismantled the leadership in the two probation offices.
The probation department was the focus of an internal investigation after two probationers were charged with killing Eve Carson, the student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
One suspect went more than a year without hearing from any probation officers.

How to Paint Straight Lines While Painting Your Nails
Painting your nails is a fun thing to do in your spare time. It can look great, if you do it right. This article gives tips for making your nails look a little bit better.
1Find two colours that you want to put on your nails. It will work better if you put a lighter colour on first, then a darker colour.
2Put on an even layer for the first base. Put two coats if needed.
3Let it dry completely.
4Take your second colour, and take the brush out.
5Use a toothpick and dip it in. Make sure there isn't a big blob of paint on it, but enough to draw a line.
6Decide which direction you want your line to go.
7Put your toothpick in the desired spot, and drag it across the nail with a steady hand. This should give you a nice straight line.
8Don't restrict yourself to just lines, be creative! Flowers, polka dots, or more advance things can be very impressive, and with practice you can become a true artist!

A nine-county region around Fayetteville will be one of the nation's two test sites for census takers gearing up for the 20-10 count.
The Fayetteville area was chosen because of its mix of urban, suburban and rural populations and its large military presence.
That's according to officials in the U-S Census Bureau regional office in Charlotte. The region for the test site includes Fort Bragg and Pope Air
Force Base. Officials say it's challenging to get an accurate count of military members.
The other test site is San Joaquin County, just south of Sacramento, California.
Officials will run the test in 2008 with results available in 2009. That will give the Census Bureau time to smooth out glitches and refine its methods before the national head count.

So in preperation for this i went to have my RMR and body composition tested. the body comp test confirmed i am carrying too much fat i now know just how much. The test that shocked me was the RMR test. My RMR test said i need 3000 calories. based on the online calculators i have always seen anywhere from 2000-2200 calories. Im curious if anyone else has tested to be that high? any reason to question the validity of the test?

is to help your child discover and pursue his or her fullest potential. Our
is a rigorous commitment to individuality—a combination of challenge and support in which no one falls through the cracks and the limits of possibility are continually expanding.
The rigors of a college-preparatory education are well known. But that's only the beginning. The disciplines of creative and critical thinking take Watkinson students to another level. The practices of self-reflection and self-advocacy, essential questioning, presentation, writing across the curriculum, and cross-disciplinary (and multiple-learning-style) curriculum design combine with a culture that encourages intellectual risk-taking and a diversity of perspectives.
From sixth grade to our Post-Graduate year, Watkinson offers a genuinely different experience. Our excellence is widely recognized: We are a "Lead School" of the Coalition of Essential Schools; our faculty receive awards and grants to present and study both nationally and internationally; our college counseling office has received national recognition as "Counselors That Change Lives."
Watkinson is not a sound-bite school; we have a lot to tell you, and talking about educational philosophy can be complex. But
the Watkinson difference is a simple matter. We are pleased to invite you to one of our many
Open Houses
—a chance for prospective families to visit our historic campus, meet with members of our faculty, and learn more about what our unique and exceptional programs can offer your child.

This powerful drama had me on the edge of my seat. The play has an interesting historical context but it's the personal stories of the 3 characters, one white "master" and two slaves, that really grabbed me. Superb acting and great staging with lots of plot twists and turns had the audience buzzing at intermission and giving a standing ovation at the end.

Definitely a play worth seeing, but not for the squeamish (there's a fairly graphic scene involving a leg amputation). More importantly, the play raises some fascinating issues about the meaning of slavery, the meaning of freedom, and the the...continued

The Prince Tour 98 ESP provides excellent control with a great blend of spin and the maneuverability needed for an all-court game. This racquet excels both from the baseline and the net and benefits from the new ESP technology. The ESP "Extreme String Pattern" technology is designed to deliver up to 30% more spin resulting in higher net clearance for more consistency & heavier more penetrating shots. This racquet features built in Double Bridge vibration, the world's first and only technology to not only dampen vibration in both the frame but also the strings. New EXO3 technology for up to a 54% larger sweet spot. Designed for the perfect blend of control and spin.
With a Prince Power Level of 825, straight 21mm beam, 16x16 string pattern and a 98 square inch head, the Tour 98 ESP offers precision control with great spin potential. Overall, the Tour 98 is best suited for players with long full swings who are looking for control.
Cost: Demo cost is $15.00 for 1 racquet and $20 for 2-4 racquets. Shipping includes delivery to your door and return shipping back to Midwest Sports. Demo up to 4 racquets at a time. Our program ships anywhere in the continental U.S.
Delivered to your door!: UPS delivery takes 2-3 days to most areas. You will receive an e-mail the minute they are shipped with a tracking number. Use them for 7 days from the day you receive them. Example: Receive them on Monday, keep them until the next Monday. To return to Midwest Sports you may drop off at any UPS store or follow instructions on return label for alternate drop-off options. Simply place the label included with the demos on the box. Midwest Sports will be notified by UPS when the racquets are picked up. Please Note: Due to possible demo maintenance (re-stringing, re-gripping) prior to being shipped out, demo orders are not guaranteed to ship in the same time frame as new product orders. Occasional delays are possible, but are typically no longer than 1-2 days.
Forget to Return: In order for everyone to take advantage of the demo program we ask you return the demos after 7 days. Late fees on racquets not returned within the 7 day period are
The ESP is awesome! You can really fell the spin difference compared to a denser string pattern. I also felt a lot of pop on power without sacrificing control. I liked it especially on my kick serve. What I don't like about this racquet is that you have to keep on adjusting the strings because it moves a lot especially if you're a spinner. Overall, I would recommend this racquet to spinners who prefer a little power without sacrificing control
Don't Forget...

Yogis Unite! All-inclusive yoga studio on horizon
Sunday, July 14, 2013
In an effort to fill a need and keep its community together, a new yoga studio is in the works for the Capital City.
Registered Yoga teacher and head yogi at the Wilson's Fitness downtown location, Megan Sappington, said the new space, to be located at 128 E. Dunklin St., will be both beautiful and historic, a space for those who already love yoga, as well as those just exploring.
The vision: An all inclusive yoga studio where no style is restricted and teachers from around the state can host classes fitting their specific niche.
"What's great is nothing like this exists in Mid-Missouri," Sappington noted.
There are many narrow niche studios throughout Central Missouri that speak to only a small crowd of people. The new studio will combine all types of yoga, offering classes for beginners, hot yoga, Hatha, Kundalini, Aeraial, Therapeutic, teen yoga and more.
The current facility is located downtown at the corners of West High and Jefferson streets. Sappington said yoga has been held in that third floor location for almost 13 years, formerly Show Me Yoga, adding a partnership with Wilson's about 31⁄2 years ago. As of Aug. 1, however, the Wilson's classes held there will essentially be homeless as the building owner, Central Bank, prepares the space to be used for other things.
In response to its impending move, Sappington said she, and Wilson's Fitness owner Keri Austin, as well as other yoga participants in the area, are trying to make the most of the situation. They have taken the opportunity to create something new.
"It's going to be created by the community, for the community," Sappington explained.
The new studio will require contribution of time and talent as well as monetary donations. The space is essentially a blank canvas, one these yogis plan to make their own.
Taking a note from the Yoga society, Sappington said the word Seva — meaning community outreach and involvement — will be heavily emphasized throughout the transition and into the future.
"We're looking at this as a community process," the yoga instructor noted.
Plans for the studio include a water feature to welcome visitors, a second floor Hot Yoga studio, two massage rooms and a private studio. Eventually showers and locker rooms will be added as well. The original hardwood floors will be exposed and the tin tiled ceilings will be kept for a sense of history.
Perhaps the most unique aspect about the Dunklin Street building will be the addition of an eventual rooftop option. Sappington and Austin both agreed the flat rooftop space will be perfect to host sunrise and sunset classes in the future.
In the down time between Aug. 1 and that anticipated October opening, Wilson's will host "pop-up yoga classes," utilizing various spaces throughout Jefferson City.
In an email to yoga clients, Sappington calls this new studio a "once in a lifetime opportunity."
"We have to do this, as we believe that all of the incredibly talented teachers and huge community will disperse and once again be separated," she added.
Sappington estimated there are more than 400 people in Mid-Missouri currently using the local Yoga studios. Even people from out of town visit the downtown location. "We have travelers who always come to class when they're in town."
Aside from adding new types of classes, the future venue will also allow for new yoga instructors to emerge. The studio hopes to become registered with the Yoga Alliance, the governing board for yoga both nationally and internationally. Currently there are only three registered yoga teachers in Jefferson City. The new studio hopes to change that by offering a teacher training program, a service not offered anywhere closer than St. Louis. Mini classes will also be offered prior to the training for those interested in learning more about that training opportunity.
As yoga gains popularity in Central Missouri, Sappington and Austin hope to fill the need. A July 27 community rally, a 108 Sun-Salute Mala, where participants go through a series of yoga postures in one sitting, will jumpstart the donations process. The 9 a.m. event is open to the public and will be held in the downtown location, 101A W. High St. Donations are also being accepted on the Wilson's Fitness website through PayPal.

July 30, 2010
By Adrienne M. Combs, Deputy Public Affairs Officer
The J/G-8 sponsored a Resource Management Conference on July 29, 2010 at the Ft. Myer Officers Club. Opening remarks were given to over 30 civilian and military participants by Col. Carlen Chestang, Jr., chief of staff, Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region and The U.S. Army Military District of Washington. Chestang stated to attendees, "what you do on a daily basis is important to commanders. You serve as the stewards of the nation's resources."
Cheryl Andres, deputy J/G-8, Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region and The U. S. Army Military District of Washington said, "the conference was designed not only for civilian employees in the resource management field but also civilian employees that interact on a regular basis with the resource management division. It was also designed for military members who work with or supervise civilians. We hope this conference will provide professional development, inform employees about training opportunities and also provide an atmosphere where people will be able to network and share ideas."
Morning speakers were Steve Wilberger, deputy commandant/dean of operations, Army Management Staff College, Ft. Belvoir, Va. who addressed conference participants on the Civilian Education System, and Ruth Ann Gurr, deputy, Civilian Training and Leader Development Division, Department of the Army, G-3/7 Training Directorate, who spoke on Army Civilian Training and Leader Development. Wilberger noted the purpose for training is to "educate and prepare the Army civilian corps and military members for leadership and management responsibilities throughout the Army. Our goal is to prepare and train people to take on leadership positions."
Afternoon speakers were Terry L. Placek, the comptroller proponency program manager and chief, Comptroller Proponency Office, who talked about Army Comptroller Career Management, and Claudia M. Carr, associate director for Certification at the American Society of Military Comptrollers, who addressed Certified Defense Financial Manager Certification.
Participants had the opportunity to ask questions during the question and answer session after each presentation and also talk with presenters one-on-one. Willie Gaddis, director of the J/G8, stated "a trained workforce makes the Army better. No matter what field you are in, professional development is the key to a good organization."
"We plan for this conference to be an annual event," said Andres.

U.S. Must Not Forget Old Allies
David Miliband, London Evening Standard

Europe is in for a tough few years. But the wrong-headed austerity that is the quicksand for European economies (in contrast to the US) will play itself out. Europe remains the world's largest richest single market. And countries across the Atlantic divide have a massive shared interest in standing up for accountable government, open societies and international responsibility.

- ―GTA V Manual
The Tongva Hills, is an undeveloped part of the State of San Andreas located in Los Santos County in GTA V. It is bordered by Lago Zancudo to the north, and Banham Canyon to the south.
Tongva Hills is a rural area, which is comprised of vineyards, the estate of Steve Haines, and Marlowe Vineyards. Migrant workers can be seen taking breaks, such as smoking, eating, and using cellphones in the fields, along with Deer, who can also be seen in herds eating leaves; Boars, Cougars, and the occasional flyover of a Duster.
- Tongva Hills is likely named after the Tongva tribe of Native Americans that inhabited the Los Angeles area.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and an 8 month old, and we just continued our routine that we had before my daughter was born. They have their bath at 7/7:15, then brush teeth, then they both lay in my sons bed and we read two books (the same ones every night) then I leave with my daughter to nurse. It works really well, especially since he understands that she needs to eat before bed. It is a great bonding time for all of us.posted 01/21/2008 by nicolory
I have a 17month old daughter. She has no routine for bedtime. I need help establish one as she dont go to bed early. She is very dominated and I need to be firm with her. I have tried sleep training but now she has a fright of her room. Please helpposted 11/03/2010 by Leilani.steynberg
this is a hard one because i have a 4 yr old and a 7 week old and dont quite have a routine down yet myself....ive been bathing my 4 yr old and reading to him and putting him to bed first and then bathing the baby and feeding her and then putting her to sleep. My reason for dealing with my 4 yr old first is because he is much easier to deal with and then once i have him to bed its easier to deal with my 7 week old because sometimes it takes a while to get her to sleep compared to my son.posted 12/28/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
when my baby was 3 months, she already developed bedtime routine. what we did was turn off the light and have a table lamp (dimmed) light the room. i sing to her while she tosses and turns to find her perfect spot to sleep. we let our 2-1/2 y/o nephew face the wall and not move for him not to distract the baby and in turn he sleeps too.posted 12/19/2007 by BRIEL ANIELI
Do the bedtime routine together, give both kids a bath then read storys then nite time milk then cuddle and off they sleep. Thats the routine i have for my son and when we have anotehr baby in a year i'm keeping this routine , becaues it works. I've been doin this sinc he was 7 mths old and not he'll be 1 years old this weekend.. works like acharm!!posted 10/17/2007 by Stardust1018

After a nice dinner date and general conversation- a nice long cuddling session starting with cloths on and our favorite drinks, along with conversation about our selves, both of us working a piece of clothing off here and there on the other one, touching, little massages here and there, kisses and some tongue action, leading to whatever feels good to each other, which is part of the conversation about our selves to begin with- how else are you going to find out what feels good to your partner?
Dec 17 @ 12:44PM
For me it has always been part of a LTR. Even back in the 60s and 70s I wasn't going to hop into bed with just anyone. Now the male members of our band would screw pretty much anything with a vagina after a couple of drinks, and then wondered why their wives divorced them. They took sex, drugs and rock and roll a little too far.
What does it take for me to have sex with someone? They have to be intelligent, and I have to care for them. We have to be on the same wavelength outside the bedroom as well.
Dec 17 @ 12:53PM
I'm sitting here thinking .. it's hard to remember ..it's been wayyy too long. so apparently whatever it takes hasn't happened in a while .. I do think chemistry has a lot to do with it .. I remember the sparkle in his eyes when he smiled .. the kisses on my neck .. not too many words have to be said .. he was very attentive ... brought flowers and lots of hugs.
Dec 17 @ 7:11PM
I agree with Strega on it being part of a LTR, and yes, chemistry and attraction. I can't just up and have sex with someone if I don't even know their name.
Dec 17 @ 7:16PM
Well it doesn't necessarily take love.......I have sex with men that i just liked.........but there has to be more.........there has to be a chemistry...........we have to be friends........I don't do strangers just because it takes time for me to find that certain thing I find attractive about them (and not just looks) I had well actually have a good friend who was just a fuck buddy........we had a great time..........spent time doing other things.........but when it came right down to it...........there was just not enough there to be in a commitment with him.
Dec 17 @ 7:52PM
Interested. If a woman cant keep my intrest then there is no sense to having sex. Chemistry is fine. But if your bored with each other before you will probably be bored during sex. As for a stranger, i like to find out more about a woman before having sex.

McKendree University Appoints New Provost
Lebanon, Ill. - McKendree President James M. Dennis announced the appointment of Dr. Christine M. Bahr as the university's new provost and dean, effective July 1, 2008.
Bahr is currently the interim vice president for academic affairs at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind., where her responsibilities include academic leadership and administration of eight undergraduate program departments and six graduate programs, including the college's distance education program. She will succeed McKendree Provost Dr. Gerald Duff who is retiring in December.
"We are delighted to have Dr. Bahr join the McKendree University family,'' Dennis said. "Her academic record, personality and work ethic will contribute greatly to the continuing success of this institution."
As McKendree's chief academic officer, Bahr will report to and work closely with the president to provide academic direction to the university community. The provost has administrative responsibility for all academic affairs, including curriculum and academic programs, faculty recruitment and advancement.
"I am thrilled and honored to have been invited to join the McKendree University community,'' Bahr said. "McKendree is clearly an institution on the move, with a long, rich history and a bright future. McKendree has achieved remarkable growth, exemplified by its recent transformation from college to university, while emphasizing the quality of its programs and services.''
Bahr has an extensive academic and administrative background. She served as assistant academic dean at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, before assuming the interim vice presidency in 2006. She joined the faculty of the college in 1999, was promoted to professor in 2005 and has served as the chair of the education department. She has also served as an associate professor at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich., and as a research project coordinator for the Department of Special Education, George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
"From the moment I stepped foot on McKendree's campus, I felt a sense of spirit and pride among the students, faculty and staff,'' Bahr said. "I look forward to joining the McKendree family, getting to know everyone, and working closely with President Dennis and the leadership team. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I pledge to work tirelessly to serve the McKendree University community.''
Bahr, who is originally from St. Louis, holds a Ph.D. in special education from Indiana University. She earned a master's degree in educational administration and supervision at Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville and a bachelor's degree in special education from Fontbonne College in St. Louis.
Bahr currently resides in Terre Haute, Ind. Her husband Dr. Michael W. Bahr is an associate professor at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. They have four children: twins Joe and Justin, 20; Emily, 17, and Ryan, 14.
McKendree is ranked among the top 14 percent of "Best Baccalaureate Colleges" in the nation by U.S.News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges 2008." The university's campus in Lebanon, Ill., is just 25 miles from St. Louis. McKendree also has campuses in Louisville and Radcliff, Ky., and offers off-campus programs at Scott Air Force Base and sites throughout Illinois and Kentucky.

Beijing, Mar 27 (EFE).- An exhibition of the work of Andy Warhol, the father of Pop Art, on tour in Asia will not be allowed to show the late artist's celebrated portraits of Mao Zedong during its Beijing and Shanghai stops, the Andy Warhol Museum said.
The exhibition's curators had hoped to show eight of the portraits, which were done in 1972, but the museum "understands that certain images can still not be shown in China," the Pittsburgh-based museum's director, Eric Shiner, said in a statement.
Officials have not confirmed that the images were censored in China, where images of Mao and the Cultural Revolution are often used by Chinese artists in their work, often with the same "pop" and ironic aims of Warhol (1928-1987).
One of the many images of Mao produced by Warhol was exhibited in 2006 at an international art event organized by Spanish gallery owner Carlos Bergantinos in Beijing.
The "Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal" exhibition, curated by the Warhol Museum and featuring more than 300 works, included Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo on its 2012-2014 Asia tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply to become a Recruit Company Mentor?
Look for the solicitation ALCOAST message that is released each fall (September/October). There will be a link to the Mentor section of our website, which will direct you to most Current version of the
Mentor Guide
Are Mentor applications accepted continually throughout the year?
No. Mentor applications are only accepted in response to the ALCOAST up to the deadline listed in the message. In order to keep the application process fair to all, no applications will be accepted after the deadline has passed
How and when will I be notified of the selection results?
All applicants will be notified by the Battalion Officer via e-mail regardless of selection status (i.e. Selected, Alternate, Not Selected) prior to the Christmas Holiday once the final mentor list has been certified by the Commanding Officer.
Are travel expenses for the Company Mentor Program funded by TRACEN Cape May?
No. All travel related expenses should be funded by the unit or individual. The only exception to this is the CG-wide Leadership Award winners (i.e. Munro, Jarvis, Witherspoon, McShan, EPOY). Travel expenses for these individuals are funded by HQ. Although we do not fund travel, we do reserve a room in the UPH on base for each mentor to help defray lodging expenses. We highly recommend that you consult with your command prior to applying to ensure they will support your travel and time away from the unit to meet the obligations of the mentor program.
Who is eligible to apply to become a Recruit Company Mentor?
A. The requirements to become a company mentor are as follows: i Enlisted: E7 and above ii Officer: CWO2-4, O3 and above B. Being above the cut for E7 or selected but not promoted to O3 does not qualify. C. All O3 and below are required to submit a Command Endorsement with the application. This should address the applicant's ability to mentor and lead the recruits, and should indicate past and current demonstrated exceptional leadership performance, as well as command support for participation in the program (i.e. time away from unit, funding for travel etc.). Officers selected but not promoted to O4 are required to submit an endorsement.
How much time will I be required to obligate during the Mentor Process?
We reserve two hours of dedicated one-on-one time between you and the recruits for each visit. There are also additional opportunities to interact more with your company throughout training if you choose; you should consult with the Lead Company Commander for specifics regarding those opportunities. At a minimum, you should anticipate obligating travel days before and after the day of your visit, unless your unit is close enough to drive. The graduation visit also includes some activities the evening before, so you should plan to arrive by early Thursday afternoon.
I was not selected during this year's application process; do I need to re-apply next year?
Yes, if you were not selected during the application process for a given year you must re-apply per the ALCOAST that is released any subsequent year. This also applies to applicants who were selected as an Alternate, but did not serve as a mentor in the year of selection to the Alternate list.
I have applied multiple times to be a mentor, and have not been selected. What can I do to improve my chances of selection?
The mentor program is highly competitive with most years having around 130 applicants for an average of 35 spots. Do not take non-selection personally, there are just not enough spots for the number of highly qualified applicants we have. We do give extra consideration for members who have applied multiple times, so please keep applying! The best way to strengthen your application is by including examples that demonstrate strong leadership & mentoring. Your reasons for mentoring are also a key part of the application/selection process. Please remember that mentoring is all about benefiting the Recruits - not mentors or units.
What is the prescribed uniform for Mentor visits?
We leave the uniform choice up to you, and trust that you will represent the CG well in your appearance and grooming. However, most mentors will wear Tropical Blue or Service Dress Blue (depending on the season) for the first visit, ODU for the second visit and for the pizza party on Thursday evening before graduation. The uniform for graduation is Tropical Blue or Service Dress Blue (depending on the season).
Will I be given any information about the company I am mentoring prior to my visits?
Yes, you will be sent a 'read ahead' at least one week prior to each of your visits. This includes background information on the members of the company, and lets you know what they have been doing. Prior to your week 5 visit we will send you a list of the company orders (a hard copy will also be available when you arrive). This should help you prepare for the types of unit-related questions you will get during that visit.

If they have currently have just 1 outfield starter on the roster that means that they are going to have to go out and acquire 2 more. This is where the $50 mil free to spend comes in to play, with outfield free agent targets including Shin-Soo Choo, Jacoby Ellsbury, Hunter Pence, Carlos Beltran, Nelson Cruz, and Curtis Granderson. Cruz and Granderson seem like unlikely fits, with Cruz involved in the same risky business as Cesar Puello with the biogenesis scandal and a possible suspension for him is looming. Granderson currently plays for the cross town New York Yankees and playing with the small dimensions of Yankee Stadium may have skewed the great power numbers that he has put up and the last thing the Mets want is another Jason Bay. Pence would be an interesting fit but the Giants have been rumored to desire him back for the 2014 season and he has yet to come up on the Mets radar. Beltran, Choo, and Ellsbury have all been linked to the Mets as possible free agent signings this upcoming offseason. Beltran, a former Met, is currently 36 and I find a return to Queens unlikely due to the fact that the Mets need the incoming outfielder to be here for 4 or 5 years, while Beltran would probably only get a 2 year deal from the Mets. Ellsbury, 29, has had a decent season this year, batting .302 with a league leading 39 stolen bases, but his power numbers have been way down and his OPS is just .784 which is decent but not worth a B.J.Upton type of contract which Ellsbury is most likely going to get. This leaves the 31-year old Choo who has been a very consistent player, posting an OPS of .800 or higher in 5 of the last 6 seasons, making him a good gamble on a longer deal worth 4 or 5 years. I'm going to say that the Mets sign Choo to a 4 year deal worth $58 million. But that still leaves 1 last outfield spot, which I think is where the Mets will make their big splash of the offseason with a blockbuster trade. The Mets have been in the trade market for a big bat since April and have been often linked to superstars Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies and Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins. I believe one of these guys will be alongside Shin-Soo Choo and Eric Young Jr in next years outfield. Neither of those players have been made available in season, but continued rumors say that they may become available during the winter. And I think the Mets first choice would be Stanton, given his tremendous hitting at just 24 years old. The Mets would have to part with a lot to land the Marlins star outfielder, but the Mets definitely have the pieces that it would take. From what I understand, the Mets are reluctant to part with top catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud who they acquired from Toronto in the R.A. Dickey trade last offseason, but if they don'tpart with d'Arnaud then they will have to part with coveted pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. My proposed trade to bring Stanton to Flushing is as follows, Zack Wheeler, Wilmer Flores, Josh Satin, Jeremy Hefner, and Jack Leathersich to Miami for Giancarlo Stanton. Remember this is all speculation and nothing of this proposed trade is based on real rumors. But in this trade the Mets would get the huge outfield bat that they desire and give the Marlins a bundle of prospects including a top of the line pitcher in Wheeler, a infield prospect with Flores, 2 young Major Leaguers who could fill voids in this Marlins team in Satin and Hefner, and a valuable relief prospect with tremendous strikeout numbers in Jack Leathersich. Yes, I understand that Harvey-Wheeler is the next big thing and all of that, but Giancarlo Stanton is a once in a generation kind of hitter with tremendous power which will pack fans into the seats of Citi Field.
So, so far this leaves us with an outfield of Eric Young Jr, Shin-Soo Choo, and Giancarlo Stanton. The catcher is obviously going to be Travis d'Arnaud who is baseball's top catching prospect and would have been in the Majors by now if it weren't for breaking his foot in April. With Josh Satin gone in my proposed trade, that leaves Ike Davis and Allan Dykstra, who is currently at double-a, as the two foremost internal options for the first base job. And since I see the Mets spending their resources on fixing the outfield, that makes these two the only candidates for the job. Im going with Ike Davis as next years 1st baseman since I believe that with a new slate next year working with what he learned in his stint in the minors, Davis will be the player or similar to the player that the Mets thought they had after his rookie year in 2010. The second base spot is pretty clearly going to be Daniel Murphy's, considering that Wilmer Flores, who would be his only true competitor, is in the proposed deal to Miami, making Murphy the obvious second baseman. The shortstop job will likely be a spring training competition between Omar Quintanilla and Ruben Tejada, and due to Quintanilla recent struggles and Tejada having the age advantage, I'm going to give the starting nod to Ruben Tejada for 2014 but that could change based on in-season performance next year. And 3rd base is obviously going to be manned by the captain, David Wright.
No onto what should be a bright spot for next years Mets, the pitching rotation. The ace of the staff will be one of baseball's best in right-hander Matt Harvey. Next in the rotation comes Jonathon Niese, the 26-year old will be the lone lefty on next years staff and has been out over the past month or so with a partially torn left rotator cuff. Niese was the 2013 opening day starting pitcher coming off a career year in 2012, when earlier that season the Mets gave him a 5 year $25 mil extension. My prediction for the Number 3 starter in the rotation is Noah Syndergaard. The 20-year old righty was acquired by the Mets last offseason along with Travis d'Arnaud, John Buck, and Wuilmer Becerra from Toronto for R.A. Dickey. Syndergaard will likely start next season in the minors at either double-a, where he currently is pitching, or triple-a, but I expect him to get a similar call-up time to Zack Wheeler, who was called up on June 18th of this season. Jenrry Mejia may start the year in the rotation as a place holder for Syndergaard. I believe the Mets number 4 starter next year will be Rafael Montero. Montero dominated earlier this year at double-a, and has been a little shaky at triple-a so far, but I fully expect him to turn it around which could get him a spot in the 2014 opening day rotation. As for the number 5 spot, I think it will go down to Dillon Gee and Jenrry Mejia, who's original spot will go to Noah Syndergaard. I'm going with Gee as the 5 starter since Mejia seems like more of a reliever and Gee is a pure starter.
Now to an aspect that has plagued the Mets for year: the bullpen. The closer will stay as Bobby Parnell, who has been tremendous in that role this season. Other right-handed arms out of next years pen will be Carlos Torres and Jenrry Mejia, when Syndergaard get called up. I also see the Mets re-signing David Aardsma consider the great deal of good he's done for this team and this bullpen thus far this season. Do to injury and struggles, it seems that Jeurys Familia will start 2014 in triple-a to work out some of his troubles living the bullpen looking like this: Closer: Bobby Parnell RHPs: Carlos Torres, Jenrry Mejia, David Aardsma, Gonzalez Germen, Jeurys Familia LHPs: Josh Edgin and Scott Rice.
So after going through each aspect of the Mets here is what their complete 2014 roster should look like:
Starting Lineup:
1. Eric Young Jr LF
2. Shin-Soo Choo CF
3. David Wright 3B
4. Giancarlo Stanton RF
5. Travis d'Arnaud C
6. Daniel Murphy 2B
7. Ike Davis 1B
8. Ruben Tejada SS
9. Pitcher
Justin Turner IF
Juan Lagares OF
Matt Den Dekker OF
Anthony Recker C
Jordany Valdespin IF/OF
Starting Rotation:
1. Matt Harvey RHP
2. Jonathon Niese LHP
3. Noah Syndergaard RHP
4. Rafael Montero RHP
5. Dillon Gee RHP
Closer: Bobby Parnell RHP
RHP: Carlos Torres
RHP: Jenrry Mejia
RHP: David Aardsma
RHP: Gonzalez Germen
LHP: Josh Edgin
LHP: Scott Rice
With a roster like this, the Mets have to be at least considered contenders in the NL East and definitely a chance to finish over .500 for first time since moving into Citi Field and a chance at their first playoff appearance since 2006.

Teach For America gets $100M
Thursday, January 27, 2011
ATLANTA (AP) — Teach For America, the education organization that has placed recent college graduates in low-income public schools, is getting $100 million to launch its first-ever endowment in hopes of making the grass-roots organization a permanent fixture in education.
The program — which is now in communities from Atlanta to rural New Mexico to Los Angeles — announced Thursday that four philanthropists are joining to create a stable, long-term source of money. It's welcome news for an organization that had more than 46,000 applications for just 4,400 teaching slots this academic year.
"A few years ago we embraced the priority of making Teach For America an enduring American institution that can thrive as long as the problem we're working to address persists," said founder Wendy Kopp, who dreamed up Teach For America for her undergraduate thesis and launched it in 1990. "I think it's only appropriate in our country — which aspires to be a place of equal opportunity — that we have an institution which is about our future leaders making good on that promise."
It's also likely to be unwelcome news for teachers' unions and other opponents, who say Teach For America puts inexperienced 20-somethings with just five weeks of training in classrooms and most of them move on after their two years of service. Some have criticized it as an organization that lets top graduates experiment in public education for a couple of years before moving on to something else.
Teach for America says one-third of its alumni keep teaching after two years, and two out of three remain in the field, some in as public-policy analysts or school administrators. It points to studies that show its teachers are at least as effective as those who enter the teaching profession in more traditional ways.
The idea of an endowment started with philanthropist Eli Broad, who pledged $25 million from his Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and encouraged others to commit to the project. Three more foundations stepped up with matching funds: the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, the Robertson Foundation and philanthropists Steve and Sue Mandel.
The endowment will only produce about 2 percent of Teach For America's $200 million budget at first, but Kopp said that will grow over time. The organization gets its budget from nonprofits, corporations and federal grants, but those aren't always dependable.
Kopp said she hopes that steady stream of revenue means the organization can double the number of active corps members serving two-year terms to 15,000 and increase the communities they reach from 39 to 60.
Broad, whose foundation gives out the nation's top prize in public education each year, has donated $41 million total to Teach For America since its inception. He said he wanted to form an endowment to ensure the program persists.
"Instead of it being viewed as a movement, we have to make it look like an institution," Broad said in a telephone interview. "One of the ways you do that is an endowment like a college or university has."
Not only is Teach for America celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, but Kopp's second book, "A Chance to Make History," debuted this week. The book outlines the lessons Kopp has learned as she's watched her organization's teachers try to change educational outcomes for the nation's poorest children.
"When I started on this endeavor 20 years ago, truly the prevailing notion at the time was that kids' socio-economic circumstances would determine their educational outcome," Kopp said. "Today we're surrounded by hundreds of examples of whole classrooms and schools that are taking kids from rural and urban areas and putting them on a different trajectory."

Protest Exercise at Fort A.P.Hill,Va
July 29, 2010
By Joint Task Force - National Scout Jamboree Public Affairs
, Spc. Alisha Hauk
"Make love, not war!" chanted a select group of Soldiers, as they clutched cardboard picket signs and made their way through the thick, Virginia humidity toward a platoon of armed, military police officers in an attempt to "protest" anything and everything they could think of. "Give peace a chance," they continued.
The cliche chants came from the mouths of National Guard infantry Soldiers with Compant C, 1st Battalion, 114th Infantry Regiment out of Berlington, New Jersey during an exercise held at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia July 23. The exercise was intended to train military police officers with 3rd Platoon, 13th Military Police Company, 92nd Military Police Battalion out of Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, the appropriate ways to handle a group of protesters who gather outside of military and other installations.
"We're supposed to be a peaceful protest so the MPs can get a hands on experience on how they're going to react to any kind of protest," said Sgt. Drew Benler, infantry platoon team leader, Co. C, 1-114th Inf. Regt. "It's before the main show kicks off in two days. We're supporting this mission readiness exercise."
Both units travelled to Fort A.P. Hill in support of the National Boy Scouts of America Jamboree and centennial celebration.
"This way," said Benler, "the MPs will have practice. They can critique what they did right and what they did wrong and they will be prepared for a similar situation, if it takes place, during the main show."
As the exercise progressed, however, the multi-talented infantry Soldiers demonstrated their improvisational skills by drifting from the scripted protest and on to antics of their own. After MP officers had dealt with their barriers getting climbed on and knocked over, flowers and grass getting thrown in their faces, getting sprayed with water and other general harassment, a thunderous roar of, "You can't spell 'wimp' without 'MP,'" boomed from the protesting crowd.
Situations like this, said Sgt. Sigmund Furtado, team leader, 13th MP Co, 92nd MP Bn., can really test an officer's patience.
"In the MP Corps, they teach us ITPC skills -- interpersonal communication -- so we can talk to an individual and find out what is going on and to keep our composure," Furtado said. "It isn't always easy, but we train our Soldiers to keep their composure and use thier levels of force."
The levels of force are steps taken by MP officers in potentially hostile or dangerous situations and are meant to mitigate or disolve the problems before the officer turns to using his weapon, explained Private 1st Class Antonio Saiz, MP officer, 13th MP Co., 92nd MP Bn. He also explained both his ability to properly use the levels of force as well as the abilities of his fellow officers to do so was put to the test during the training exercise, especially after the infantry troops broke through the barriers and fleed a group of pursuing MP officers.
"We had a couple of ups and downs with the guys out here, but, overall, we handled it very well," he said. "I'm pretty confident we are able to handle our mission here. We have good NCOs who have been deployed and who have dealt with similar situations, so they are quick to react and dictate."
Furtado agreed.
"When I was in the California National Guard, we had a protest in San Francisco that got out of hand and we were called in to help," Furtado said. "We trained a lot in the California National Guard for protests inside the cities."
In addition to the overall learning experience of the exercise, the MP officers were left prepared to handle potential tricky situations during the BSA Jamboree.
Saiz said this holds a significant importance.
"It's a big jamboree," Saiz said. "There's going to be a lot of America's youth and we have to set an example. I think it's very important that we're out here protecting them and making sure they have a good time and everything goes safely."
The Soldiers of 1-114th Inf. Regt. ensured the MP officers of 13th MP Co. are ready for anything.
"I appreciate the infantry Soldiers being here showing my Soldiers how hairy it can get," Furtado said. "I hold high, high regard for my Soldiers. We train them, we keep them motivated and my job is to give my knowledge to the Soldiers. The edges are rough, but you can always polish the edges. It's a learning experience for them and they can put it in their toolbox, so the next time it happens, they know what to do."
