Testimony :: Dr. Emil Pain
Galina Starovoitova Fellow on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution - Woodrow Wilson International Center
On Russia's Military Campaign in the Chechen Republic
Russia's two military campaigns in the Chechen Republic in 1994-1996 and the present one that began in 1999 are tragedies for both the Chechen people and the whole of Russia. In his time President Yeltsin called the war in Chechnya "his biggest mistake." Unfortunately the new Russian leadership is repeating and worsening it.
It has been trapped by some illusions or inadequate information on the situation in Chechnya.
The Russian army has no chance of victory in this war. It has already dragged on more than a year, and according to official statistics the monthly losses of the Russian troops are greater than in the first campaign. It is likely that the losses among the civilians are higher as well.
Even in a purely military sense, there is little probability of a victory for Moscow, but this is especially true regarding the utopian idea of winning an "economic victory" in Chechnya. It means turning the Chechen population to the Russian side through the economic restoration of Chechnya. How is it possible to restore industry in Chechnya if more than 80% of it was concentrated in peaceful times in Grozny, which is now completely destroyed? Even by official Russian statistics one third of all rebels are concentrated in this city and it is namely here that Russian troops constantly suffer the most losses.
The army cannot be located for long in a hostile occupied territory. It will begin to demoralize. Demoralization of 100 thousand Russian troops in Chechnya is already displaying itself. With every month of the war a larger part of the home country population becomes dissatisfied with it. And sociological opinion polls show that this change is taking place. If in the beginning of 2001 more than 60% of respondents supported the continuation of the war until final victory, in May less than 40% still did. The longer the war goes on, the more the government demonstrates its weakness, which in turn weakens the governing of the country as a whole. Sooner or later the Russian leadership will have to enter into negotiations with the leaders of the Chechen resistance, but the continuation of the war worsens the conditions for such negotiations.
Continuation of military operations leads to a greater involvement of civilians in the fighting. The casualties grow and the savagery of both sides grows as well. In this type of conflict it is incorrect to talk of the guilt of only one side. One cannot demonize Russia and idealize the Chechen rebels. Among them are people who bear a great part of the responsibility for this war; there are people among them that are without question properly called international terrorists. But that is the problem: the longer the war lasts, the greater is the influence of radicals in the rebel camp.
The Russian leadership still has a chance to begin a dialogue with the moderate forces in the Chechen armed resistance grouped around President Maskhadov.
The continuation of military operations and the growth of violations of the rules of war will unavoidably increase the attention of the international community and international institutions to the "Chechen problem". In my opinion international organizations must, above all else, help the Russian government understand that continual reliance on force to solve the Chechen problem is self-defeating. The examples of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Israel and many other countries that have similar problems may not be ideal, but they do show that even in places where the political solution to ethnic conflict has not been reached, the cessation of military operations is still necessary to achieve a political solution to the problem of self determination of peoples.
International organizations can influence Russia only if it is included in their work. Any attempts of political isolation of Russia are counterproductive.
A useful initiative from international organizations to solve the Chechen problem will be the creation of international expert groups, that will of course include Russian and Chechen experts, to develop mutually acceptable formulas for escaping the present conflict.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

More sea turtles flown from New England to Florida
Published: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 8:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 8:20 p.m.
ORLANDO — More cold-stressed sea turtles have been flown from New England to recover in balmy Florida.
SeaWorld officials say four loggerhead sea turtles arrived Sunday in Orlando aboard a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aircraft.
The turtles were originally rescued from the waters off Massachusetts by the New England Aquarium. Record numbers of hypothermic sea turtles have been rescued from the frigid waters off Cape Cod in the last few weeks. Experts say an unseasonably warm November delayed the turtles' migration to warmer waters. The turtles got stranded when the temperatures in Cape Cod Bay dropped quickly.
Dozens of rescued sea turtles have been flown to SeaWorld and other wildlife rehabilitation facilities in Florida. The turtles will be returned to their natural habitat when ocean temperatures are warmer.

Here's a sneak peek at Ashley Harkleroad's much-talked about August Playboy spread, so to speak.
The mag gets down to the nitty-gritty with the 23-year old baller discussing sex, locker room looks and Anna Kournikova. Some choice quotes:
"I do think athletes have better sex," she asserts with a bashful giggle. "Who wants a waify girl with no definition to her body? I like that I have some power and that everything's tight."
"Tennis players don't mind showing off their bodies," she said. "Often in the locker room I feel other girls' eyes on me."
"Anna [Kournikova] is stunning to look at, but she's probably a bit damaged from what she's been through. That's how she acts — a bit damaged."
(Update: Just found a "clean" version of the cover and a new ESPN The Magazine interview with Ashley discussing the shoot and other stuff.)

UPDATE: ROCHELLE (WIFR) -- We've learned hundreds of the pigs didn't make it. The fire broke out around 5:30 this morning at 1957 South Mulford Road, which is south of Route 64 and east of I-39. There were about 2,000 pigs and we're told more than 600 were killed.
Preliminary reports show the fire sparked from a heating system malfunction. Apparently, the owner turned on the heat yesterday for the pigs.
Some of the animals will be housed with a nearby farmer and others will go to Iowa. One of the barns is a complete loss and about half of the other barn was destroyed. This was a farm for feeding and raising pigs.
There are around 35 firefighters from 9 different counties on scene.
ROCHELLE (WIFR) -- A pig barn caught fire this morning around 6 a.m. on the 1900 block of South Mulford Road. Several emergency vehicles are still on the scene handling the incident.
There are no reports of any human injuries however several pigs have died. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Stanford, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Huestis registered a double-double of 16
points and 13 rebounds as the Stanford Cardinal defeated the Oregon State
Beavers, 81-73, in Pac-12 Conference action at Maples Pavilion.
Chasson Randle finished with team-highs of 20 points and five assists for the
Cardinal (14-8, 5-4 Pac-12), who have now won three in a row. Dwight Powell
and John Gage scored 14 and 12 points, respectively, while Stanford assisted
19 of its 26 makes from the field.
Roberto Nelson paced OSU (11-11, 1-8) with 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Joe
Burton notched a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Ahmad Starks
contributed 15 points and Devon Collier had 10, but the Beavers were still not
able to avoid their third loss in a row.
The Beavers opened up the contest on an 8-0 run to take an early lead, but
Stanford answered with a 29-11 run that gave the hosts a 10-point lead at the
7:42 mark of the first half. The Cardinal outscored the Beavers, 12-0, in
bench points and also, 17-4, in points off of turnovers to take a 35-33 lead
into the intermission.
Eric Moreland had a huge second half for the Beavers with eight points, eight
rebounds, and three blocks after the break. OSU knocked down 48.5 percent of
its field goal attempts and outscored the hosts, 24-6, in the paint in the
second stanza, but the Cardinal went 7-of-14 from 3-point range and converted
13-of-16 at the charity stripe to extend their halftime lead by six points.
Despite the loss, OSU held a 38-28 edge in the rebounding battle. Stanford
went 14-of-25 from 3-point range and committed only four turnovers en route to
the decision.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Five local wrestlers emerged victorious Friday night after two days of grueling action in the 19th annual America's Best Value Inn Invitational on John Jenkins Court inside St. Clairsville High School.
Martins Ferry and the host Red Devils had two each, while Barnesville rounded out the champions with one.
Dover took the team title with 291 points, which was 30 ahead of second-place St. Clairsville. Morgan was third with 243, followed by Oak Glen (240) and Tallmadge (237) to round out the top 5. Martins Ferry finished seven with 217, while Harrison Central (156) and Union Local (152) were eighth and ninth. Barnesville finished 10th at 143. Bridgeport (40) was 12th.
Claiming titles for the Red Devils were Seth Benge (170) and Cory Ernest (285). However, both took opposite routes to capture their coveted hardware.
Benge dispatched Dover's Troy Arbogast in 1:50 of their championship bout. The St. Clairsville matman recorded an early takedown and never looked back.
Ernest, meanwhile, went into overtime in the semifinals before needing double overtime to oust Williamstown's Alex Rauch, 4-1, to wrap up the action. It was his second consecutive trip to the podium's top step.
Purple Riders ruling their respective weight classes were Damon Outward (132) and Zac Coole (220).
Outward breezed to a 12-3 decision against Oak Glen's Alex Shuman, who entered the tournament as an unattached wrestler. The Martins Ferry standout recorded five takedowns en route to the lop-sided victory.
Coole was locked up in the only bout pitting two local grapplers against each other, and scored a decisive, 12-2, nod over St. Clairsville's Michael Furbee. The Purple Riders' senior led 8-1 after two periods.
Barnesville freshman Hobie Howiler won the 120-pound weight class with a convincing, 9-1, verdict against Williamstown's Brett MacIver. The championship was the first for Howiler in his short high school career.
In addition the Furbee, another trio of locals fell short of the quest as they finished second. They were Barnesville's Colin Wilson (113) and the St. Clairsville duo of Justin Callarik (138) and Dalton Nolte (160).
Wilson dropped a 5-0 decision to Cameron's Dalton Wood, while Callarik was decisioned 10-5 by Dover's Isaac Hammonds. Nolte was on the short end of a 5-3 nod to Dover's Nick Weininger, who remained perfect at 8-0 and repeated his title of 2011.
St. Clairsville led the locals with half-a-dozen place-winners, while Martins Ferry had five.
A new team champion was assured when Liberty-Raleigh, of Raleigh County, W.Va., couldn't make the tournament due to inclement weather. Also not making it were East Liverpool and Bishop Donahue.

Please excuse this question, but if I am currently running 4.5.10 and wish to move everything to 5.0 (on the same server), is this a migration or an upgrade?
That is, if it is an upgrade, all we do is run the usual install script for 5.0 and it will automatically upgrade our 4.5.10 programs AND data to 5.0 format?
Or, do I have to run a 5.0 upgrade, then manually convert/migrate the data from 4.5.10 to 5.0 format?
Just not clear to me. I've been looking to see the experience of others in doing this, but haven't found anything other than this: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/migrati...4-5-5-rc2.html

Nick Cannon is set to release an illustrated children's poetry book next year.
"Neon Aliens Ate My Homework and Other Poems" will hit store shelves in March and will feature a range of funny, heartwarming and serious poems written by the "America's Got Talent" host, who recently split from his wife Mariah Carey.
The book will also include illustrations from Cannon and street artists and will combine his love of hip-hop music and poetry.
He says, "Writing is at the center of everything I do as an artist. Doing creative writing – especially writing poetry – is when I felt the calmest and freest. As a kid, it was my escape from the inner-city pitfalls.
"The first important writer in my life was (poet) Shel Silverstein – he made me fall in love with writing and seeing his whimsical sketches got me interested in art. When I was eight years old, I got a spiral notebook and wrote my first poem/rap.
"I filled that notebook with poems, rhymes, jokes, and witty stories. I still keep one to this day. I hope that poems in Neon Aliens will help inspire kids to want to get out a pen and paper to write or draw their own thoughts, rhymes, and stories."
In addition to the poetry book, Cannon will also release a holiday children's book, titled "Roc and Roe's Twelve Days of Christmas," which was co-written by his estranged wife Mariah Carey, in November.

Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped; and in order to see that this be not neglected, it will be necessary to assemble them once or twice in the course of a year ... if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist." -- James Madison, Federalist No. 29

The "assualt weapons" we are talking about are nothing more than ordinary rifles that have been made to "look" like military weapons to be used on the batlefield. Their "legal" equivalent without the bling are just as destructive and can kill just as quickly. As for the reduced magazine sizes, the nut case or the criminal will just bring more magazines. What about all the 30 round magazines out in circulation now? Do you think the criminal with not use them just because they have been made illegal?
These actions will have little or no effect to curb gun violence.
Time to look toward Hollywood and the video game industry.

look your grandchild, toddler, son, daughter and explain to them why you need ammo clips that carry that many bullets. 90 rounds in three clips or 90 rounds poking holes in your pocket. What is the point. One round coming out the barrel is the meat and potatoes in the stew.

And these peeps practice more than most!
"New York City police statistics show that simply hitting a target, let alone hitting it in a specific spot, is a difficult challenge. In 2006, in cases where police officers intentionally fired a gun at a person, they discharged 364 bullets and hit their target 103 times, for a hit rate of 28.3 percent, according to the department's Firearms Discharge Report. The police shot and killed 13 people last year.
In 2005, officers fired 472 times in the same circumstances, hitting their mark 82 times, for a 17.4 percent hit rate. They shot and killed nine people that year."

Hi all!
I have an old Postfix/Courier-IMAP mail server and a new Zimbra 7.1.3 Network Edition Server.
I want migrate a mailbox from IMAP to Zimbra. I choose the imapsync method for this operation. I read the Zimbra Wiki for this.
Everything looks fine but I found a "little" problem.
When I go to the "Sent" folder (in Zimbra of course after the migration) in the column of sent mails is everything my name (with my e-mail address).
Normally in this column must be shown the name of the recipients not my (sender) name.
I attached a picture from this problem. Shown: I choose the "Sent" folder. I select an e-mail (all e-mail has "Bordács" in the "To" column). And in inside of the e-mail shown the real situation: Bordács is the sender and proba@... is the recipient.
So the problem is the following: After entering the Sent folder in the "To" column showing the sender address not the recipients adresses.
I tried twice the migration but the problem is constant.
I used the following command:
imapsync --buffersize 8192000 --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates --host1 hostofimap --user1 useronimap@hostofimap --password1 password --noauthmd5 --host2 hostofzimbra --user2 useronzimbra@hostofzimbra --password2 password --ssl2
This command is ended without errors.
I checked this problem on Zimbra Desktop and Zimbra WEBmail. There is no difference.
Do you see this problem?
Do you have any idea what can I do?
What do you think this problem is Zimbra problem or imapsync problem? If I sent a new e-mail from my Zimbra account in the Sent folder shown the good "To" field: the recipient name (or e-mail address).
Sorry for my bad English.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (CBS/WUSA9)-- The players and coaches of the Fairfax County Youth Football League are among the 2,800 youth football organizations across the country taking part in new training program that aims to prevent head and neck injuries.
It is called Heads Up, and that is exactly what the Alexandria Titans are being taught to do in order to tackle safety.
Seven-year-old Isaiah Hayes already understands why its a rule. "Cause if you put your head down then you could hit your head and crack your neck," he says.
USA Football developed the techniques with funding from the NFL. Coaches like Marcus Mudarri get special instruction on conducting drills, monitoring player safety, and fitting equipment properly.
Mudarri says the Heads Up program is reassuring to parents who want to protect their student athletes from concussions, and more kids are signing up.
"I do really think that's because parents feel more comfortable about letting their kids play football," says Mudari.
The Heads Up program is now being piloted in 32 high schools in eight states, including Fairfax County Public Schools, which earlier this summer became the first district in the country to require Heads Up training in all its high school programs.

This week marks a milestone for the Pulse team as we kick off our plans for the 2010 conference this week. With my enthusiasm and curiosity to see what we come up with to maintain our creds as the Premier Service Management event at an all time high, I did what I do every day. I logged into Facebook.
Not that I thought that people would be posting, "Hey Pulse! We want more Cloud Computing sessions in 2010" or "Hey IBM! Bring back Magic Johnson!" I go to Facebook every day because it is a full-blown addiction of mine. If everyone I know wasn't also addicted, I might have already begged for an intervention in a previous status update. Evidently, this predisposition for social media addiction is not unique to me and my "friends." Look what I found on the IBM Pulse wall (names and faces concealed to protect the innocent):
Sounds like a cry for help and, judging by the digital face that follows her confession, she is truly concerned. That is, until she discovers she is not alone in this situation.
But I digress. Why didn't I think I would be blown over with requests and suggestions for Pulse via our online community? Because in the two years since we launched the Pulse online community, I have been asking for suggestions and feedback on the event on all our social media channels and have gotten just about zero response to such open ended questions like, "What can we improve?" Or "Who would you like to see as guest speaker?" It seems what motivates people to share thoughts in an online community is just as unique as the spots on a leopard. But just as every leopard has spots, every social networker has something to say. When you add up all the comments, they represent what is common throughout the community.
Hence, this social media voyeur has learned that there is great value to be gleaned from lurking around Facebook and Twitter (LinkdIn too, no doubt) while planning an event for 5000 people.
Before I hedge my bets on what the Pulse 2010 agenda may or may not feature, let me share four common themes represented on the Pulse Facebook wall today.
1. More people are Tweeting and Facebooking more than ever from various mobile devices.
If "I want my MTV" was the social slogan of the 80s, "I want my Web 2.0" should be the slogan of our decade. I remember watching MTV for hours to catch a glimpse of Michael Jackson's "Beat It." Today, we can watch anything, anytime on YouTube, and more of us are using phones, laptops, whatever. The evidence? More and more of the mobile icon next to status updates:
2. More people are retweeting and linking Twitter with their Facebook and YouTube accounts.
I actually felt bad for United Airlines when I saw a retweet of a not too favorable blog, "If you won't listen, someone will." A disgruntled passenger's complaints about a damaged guitar were ignored. The ignored passenger recorded and posted a video about his experience to YouTube on July 6, 2009. This video already has nearly 3 million views in just a little over a week. Ouch. Maybe United Airlines should send someone to Pulse 2010. We can help with that.
3. Sadly, there are still daily wall posts that reflect the state of the economy.
While some are sharing their pink slip news, others are chronicling job hunts. The one that that tugged my heartstrings was the Facebooker who reported discontinuing Blackberry mobile data services to make necessary cutbacks. *sniff*
4. It's hot out there.
I don't need Facebook to feel the heat, but there are plenty of posts on my wall about the heat wave, global warming, the rising cost of energy, and the looming cap and trade laws.
If I were a betting person, I would put money on chances of a continued conversation about the exponential growth of data and digital devices and how to manage them responsibly on the new smarter planet, also characterized by an ailing global economy and changing climate.
The writing's on the wall. Just read it.

Credit for Prior Learning is designed to help students receive college credit for life experience.
In order to pursue Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) a student must be:
- Currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program, and
- Seeking credit for courses that UAF currently offers
To receive credit for a course, students should:
- Talk with a faculty member from that department to verify that their life experience is equivalent to the course.
- Pull together any supporting documentation (certificates, letters of reference, books, training materials, etc.) that shows and quantifies his/her life experience.
- Compile the documentation into a portfolio, along with an unofficial transcript and justification for each course being requested. Three copies of the portfolio should be submitted to the faculty member who was originally consulted.
A committee, typically headed by the faculty member most familiar with the course, will review the documentation to determine whether credit should be awarded.
The process costs $50 to start, and $10 for each credit awarded.
For more in depth information please consult the Credit For Prior Learning Handbook.
Please refer to the CPL Forms page for any necessary CPL forms.

Developmentally, babies learn from active, real-life experiences rather than being 'plugged in' to passively watching others at such an early age. We believe a mirror would be more interactive and age-apropriate than a video screen. Reading books and talking about pictures, or interacting as you sing songs and recite rhymes, will do more to build language than plugging them into the TV to look at pretty pictures with music. For kids under two (and for all kids), less is more! We are delighted that the American Pediatric Association has agreed with our position.

Are you referring to using an object as a tool or as a base mesh? You already can load an object as a base mesh with the Merge > Select Mesh function. I just loaded up a super simple head model that I'm playing with now. I posted a link to it a few posts ago if you want to download and try.
I was referring to using various geometric primitives or imported objects as a tool. These would replace the sphere 'primitive' that is currently used for all sculpting operations.

Born: 02/25/1976
Birth Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
Born in Los Angeles on Feb. 25, 1976, this product of a racially mixed family was raised in the swanky enclave of Bel Air, along with her older sister, Kidada. Not surprisingly, the youngster - whose name, Rashida, was Arabic for "wise" - was artistically and academically inclined from the start. While she was an avid reader by age five, she learned music primarily by ear. She would later say that while her photographic memory served her well when it came to listening to music and playing it back to near-perfection, she consequently did not learn to read music as well. Her father insisted that she must learn the fundamentals and theory as well. Nevertheless, even as a youngster, Jones was p... Continue Bio >>

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Threadless Headsets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Cane Creek AngleSet EC44/EC49 Mixed Tapered Headset $0.00
Cane Creek's Angleset is all about changing the effective head tube angle of your bike. That is to say, if you've ever ridden a bike that left you thinking, "if only it was a tad slacker, it'd be perfect," you'd know how important this angle is when it comes to how a bike feels and performs under certain trail conditions. This Angleset Mixed Tapered Headset Kit - EC44/EC49 is designed to fit bike frames that take a mixed tapered style headset, with a 44mm ID on top and a 49mm ID on bottom. The external lower cup offers room for the oversize crown race of a 1.5" tapered fork as well.
How does it work? It's simple really. The upper cup on Cane Creek's EC44/EC49 Angleset Headset is available in two versions -- .5° or 1.0° -- both are included. They have offset bearing bores (relative to the press-fit skirt) and can be installed forwards or backwards, yielding a total available angle range of 2° based from the centerline of the headtube. This means that if you're bike has a head tube angle of 68° this headset will allow you to make angular changes down to 67° or up to 69° or halfway between those marks, depending on which of the two cups you install. Both upper and lower bearings are housed in gimbals that self-adjust for the angular correction so that your headset gets a perfect, clunk-free fit when you set it up.
The benefit of the Angleset is that you can customize the steering feel of your bike exactly to your liking. Like their top-of-the-line 110 series headsets, the Angleset cups and gimbal parts are machine from 7075-T6 aluminum. They use Cane Creek's black oxide bearings. The races and balls start out as 52100 steel and are then given an acid bath to make them more corrosion resistant, while still being porous enough to retain grease. They are angular contact bearings (ACB), which resist both axial and radial loads equally well. The cartridges are sealed with what Cane Creek likes to call a Split Lip Seal, which has two contact seals per side to better keep out contaminants and hold in grease.
The Cane Creek AngleSet Mixed Tapered Headset Kit - EC44/EC49 is anodized Black and has laser etched graphics and dimensional specs on each cup. This is a headset that mates a fork with a 1-1/8" to 1.5" tapered steerer to a headtube that's designed for a mixed tapered headset with 44mm ID top and 49mm ID bottom. It's also possible to use a straight 1-1/8" fork with a conversion crown race (sold separately).

With impassioned teamwork and generosity, tens of thousands of alumni, parents, faculty and staff members, students, and other friends of the University of St. Thomas have surpassed the ambitious $500 million goal of the Opening Doors capital campaign. Thank you to all who participated in a wide variety of ways.
The monumental enhancements to financial aid, campus facilities, academic programs and teaching resources that Opening Doors already has produced, and will continue to make possible, is unprecedented in the history of private higher education in Minnesota. The resulting opportunities will benefit students in both anticipated and unforeseen ways.
The university and generations of present and future Tommies thank you!
Students are the reason why St. Thomas exists, why the university conducts capital campaigns such as Opening Doors, and why alumni and other friends of the institution give of their financial resources, their time and their spiritual support.
Financial Aid
Endowed scholarships are permanent accounts that provide scholarship aid in perpetuity. More than 300 endowed scholarships were established during the Opening Doors campaign.
Athletic Facilities
The Anderson Athletic and Recreation Complex features Schoenecker Arena for basketball and volleyball, a state-of-the-art aquatic center, a field house, a fitness center and weight room, locker rooms and offices. Other results of the Opening Doors campaign were the addition the Fowler Veranda and a video scoreboard in O'Shaughnessy Stadium.
Student Center
The Anderson Student Center is the heart of campus social activity and the home to student clubs and organizations, dining, entertainment and several administrative functions. The John P. Monahan Plaza and the Murray J. Harpole Legacy Fountain outside the student center provide a welcoming atmosphere to all visitors to the student center and adjacent O'Shaughnessy Stadium.
Catholic Studies
The popularity of Catholic Studies' academic programs (it is the fourth-largest major at St. Thomas) and its two institutes created a need for additional office, meeting and instructional space, which the expansion of Sitzmann Hall met effectively.
School of Law
The School of Law has been recognized nationally for its "best quality life" for students and "best professors," and for eight years has maintained its position as a national leader in the rate of alumni giving. The Opening Doors campaign successfully raised funds for the school's facilities, scholarships and endowed professorships.
Combining physical and virtual library resources into one collaborative "space" has been a priority for libraries on both the St. Paul and Minneapolis campuses. Raising endowment funds to support these enhancements was a priority of the Opening Doors campaign.
Residence Hall
With funds raised during Opening Doors, the newest student residence hall was named Flynn Hall in honor of Archbishop Emeritus Harry J. Flynn, chair of the university's Board of Trustees.
Ensuring St. Thomas' academic excellence requires the university to employ master teachers and top-notch leadership in its schools and colleges, as well as provide a rigorous and relevant curriculum.
Endowed Chairs and Professorships
Faculty excellence being of great importance to St. Thomas, endowed chairs are necessary to attract faculty members who are master teachers, established scholars and leaders among their peers. Gifts to the Opening Doors campaign will establish 19 new endowed chairs and professorships.
Deanships and Strategic Funds
Deans of St. Thomas schools and colleges are vital sources of strategic vision and new ideas. The Opening Doors campaign provided strong support for endowments for their hiring and retention, and to allow them to develop new programs and projects.
Many St. Thomas facilities and programs benefit not only students, but also alumni and parents, other visitors to St. Thomas campuses, and the wider Twin Cities and regional communities.
Chapel Renovation
Thanks to generous donors, an early construction project of the Opening Doors campaign was the renovation of the sanctuary in the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas. A suspended crucifix, a new altar and lectern, and a bronze screen and "portal" feature highlighted the project.
Improved Parking
Filling a need that St. Thomas felt for years, the Anderson Parking Facility opened in 2009. Building the 725-space ramp was a major step toward the ensuing construction of the Anderson Athletic and Recreation Complex and the Anderson Student Center.
Conference Facilities
The Opening Doors campaign secured funding toward a future expansion of the Daniel C. Gainey Conference Center in Owatonna, Minn. Resulting from a further campaign gift, the Gainey Center now is home to the Winton Guest House, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, given to St. Thomas by its owner, and moved to Owatonna from its Lake Minnetonka location.
Institutes and Centers
All of the following St. Thomas institutes and centers were recipients of strong endowment support from Opening Doors donors:
- The William C. Norris Institute supports the commercialization of innovative, socially beneficial technologies developed by Minnesota entrepreneurs by providing start-up assistance and capital.
- The Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law and Public Policy pursues the integration of law and the Catholic intellectual tradition through scholarly research, curriculum development and community outreach.
- The Center for Ethical Business Cultures equips current and future business leaders to build ethical cultures in their organizations and to operate with integrity in their communities, through working directly with leaders, students and faculty members.
- The Jay Phillips Center for Interfaith Learning promotes interfaith learning and friendship by sponsoring courses and programs for college and high-school students, workshops for clergy and religious educators, and art exhibits and lectures for the general public.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund secures financial gifts of all types in support of the academic, spiritual, social and athletic development of St. Thomas students, as well as the physical needs of the university's campuses. Thousands of generous donors kept the Annual Fund strong during the Opening Doors campaign.
The Connection is Strong
Father Dennis Dease, president of the University of St. Thomas
There is nothing that I would like to do more than to sit down and write thank-you notes to each and every donor to the Opening Doors campaign.
That is a bit unrealistic, however, considering that 43,000 – that's right, 43,000! – individuals and organizations made contributions to the most successful fundraising effort in St. Thomas history.
Whenever I think of that number, I pause to wonder just what inspired such generosity. I always conclude that a donor's relationship with St. Thomas has been such that he or she feels compelled to join our efforts to provide the best possible education for our students.
Opening Doors focused on three themes that have been our top priorities for the past two decades: access, excellence and Catholic identity. A St. Thomas education must remain affordable to qualified students. We must pursue excellence through effective teaching, active learning and scholarly research. And we must become more intentional about our identity as a faith-based university.
Thanks to your support, I believe we have made admirable progress toward achieving our goals. We will never be finished, of course, because how society defines excellence can be so subjective. But I do know that a St. Thomas education is more affordable today, thanks to the $117 million you gave to financial aid programs, and I can confidently state that we have never been more attentive to the Catholic dimension of our mission.
I told the faculty at the end of my academic convocation remarks in September that St. Thomas, with its legacy, spirit and resources, "has tremendous potential to contribute meaningfully beyond its current scope and to expand its influence. You will be part of that."
I conclude with the same six words today. You will be part of that – all 43,000 of you, and many more – because of your support of this fine university. God bless you!Read Less
You Answered the Call
John Morrison and Richard Schulze, campaign co-chairs
Thank you and congratulations, St. Thomas! In successfully completing the Opening Doors capital campaign, we have achieved a great triumph for our students and the entire university community.
Opening Doors began its public phase in October 2007, in the face of difficult economic times that have persisted throughout the campaign. It made the road more challenging, but the reaching of our goal all the more rewarding. Now that our long journey has ended, it is gratifying to thank each and every donor who has contributed to this achievement, whether during the public phase or the three-year "silent" phase, dating to 2004.
We would like to acknowledge that a significant portion of the campaign total was generated by several very large matching-gift opportunities or "challenge matches." The important role of these as generators of additional support often is overlooked in fundraising recognition. Many individual donors, a major foundation, and the Board of Trustees itself used their own gifts as challenge matches to encourage other donors to participate in the campaign and multiply the wonderful effects of their generosity.
In addition to the obvious importance of alumni and other friends in this endeavor, much hard work from St. Thomas staff and faculty members – particularly those in the Institutional Advancement division – has brought to a very successful conclusion the largest capital campaign of any private college or university in Minnesota history.
Raising more than $500 million – much of it for scholarships and new and improved facilities – for the benefit of University of St. Thomas students already has opened many doors, and it will continue to do so for as long as St. Thomas exists. It is a legacy in which all involved can take great pride.
Thank you again to everyone who played a part in this monumental achievement.Read Less
Two St. Thomas Endings, Two Great Successes
Mark Dienhart, campaign director
Amid the normal excitement and enthusiasm of the start of another academic year, and the happy but frenzied work that accompanied the closing days of the Opening Doors capital campaign, came word from Little Sisters of the Poor residence that Father James Lavin's health was failing him and that the end might be near. At 93, the news wasn't entirely unexpected, but it was heartbreaking for all of us, nonetheless.
I was scheduled to leave the country with Father Dease and some of our trustees, and I wanted to make sure that I visited Scooter before doing so. Father Lavin was someone I got to know well as a St. Thomas undergrad, the way almost everyone did, what seems now like about a century ago. He'd visited me in the hospital when, as a senior, I had sustained a leg injury playing football. He came to administer the sacrament of the sick. I, in my naïve way, suggested that he save the sacrament for someone with an affliction closer to the heart or brain. He, in his soft but inimitable way, suggested that I attend to the things I knew something about, and he would attend to those in which he had expertise. I remember "shut up" as part of his admonishment, and I promptly did so.
Father Lavin had pneumonia and had been sent back to Little Sisters from the hospital because the hospital couldn't do any more for him than it had done, and it was his clear intent to spend his last years, days and minutes in that residence with the good sisters who cared for him in such a loving and gentle way.
Father Lavin approached his ministry at St. Thomas one student at a time and in a very personal way. When I had the good fortune to hire him to work in Alumni Affairs, it was clear that he took on his new responsibility in exactly the same way. Everyone who approached him was deserving of his undivided attention and best efforts to help. He was a lifeline to many troubled students. He was a connection to the Church for many who needed that at a particularly difficult time in their lives. And he served as a shining example to all of us who work in higher education and aspire to what jargon like "student-centric" really means. He went about his work one student, one alum, one person at a time.
The Opening Doors capital campaign, despite the economic travail that occurred during it, has been an enormous success. But it is a success only if it has a positive impact on individuals, one at a time, the way Father Lavin did and the way he would have wanted.
I think he would be happy and proud.
More students will have access to a St. Thomas education because of the record amount of gifts for financial aid given during this campaign, and they will walk away with less debt. More students will have access to the excellent faculty and extraordinary facilities that have been added to the institution with the resources made available by Opening Doors. And, the Catholic character of the institution has been strengthened by the resources and attention given those programs that are standard-bearers for the faith-based mission of St. Thomas. The great victory of the campaign is that it will assist individual students, one at a time, the way Father Lavin did.
Thanks to all of you who cared for those individual students in the same way he did when you made your gifts. I know he would have approved!Read Less

Blake, who also acted as co-chairperson for the event, called the day a success. With 47 vehicles entered, the show boasted 11 more than last year and about 10-20 more than other shows in the past.
Blake noted that the show was well-attended and he was happy to hear several positive comments from those who showed up.
"All in all, I was really happy with the turnout," Blake said.
Twenty-four vendors were set up for the day, providing fun, food and shopping opportunities to those in attendance.
Many vehicles entered the Quasquicentennial "Vintage-Era" parade after the car show.
