Let's Talk About Parenting
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
Mondays are for talking about parenting, but as it's Memorial Day, feel free to use the thread to talk about the day. Tell us about a family member who fell in the service of his country or about how your family observes Memorial Day.
Went to our local Memorial Day Parade today and honored those who were lost, those who served and those serving now. We had our BBQ yesterday, and have a relaxing day today.
I've never heard of marinating corn on the cob...how is that done?

Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI)
- Date submitted: 31 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionGeSI response to public consultation on Rio+20 The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), representing over 30 of the world?s leading vendors and service providers of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, welcomes the opportunity to provide input to the public consultation on Rio+20. Our response addresses two areas: cooperation mechanisms and implementation tools that encourage transformative ICT solutions, and the expected outcomes of Rio+20. 1. Cooperation mechanisms and implementation tools that encourage transformative ICT solutions It is imperative that two decades on from the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro the discussions on sustainable development take into account today?s societal and technology contexts. GeSI is calling on all Rio+20 stakeholders to fully recognise and take advantage of the role of transformative ICT solutions in fostering sustainable development and addressing 21st century challenges like climate change. Companies should no longer only be seen as a source of environmental problems, but certain sectors, such as ICT, should also be viewed as solution providers and ?positive? contributors to the sustainability debate. In particular, GeSI appeals to Rio+20 stakeholders to: ? Ensure that Rio+20 recommendations and structures created do not ignore, or undermine, emerging ICT solutions. ? Take advantage of existing and widely deployed ICT infrastructure. Most countries have national ICT and broadband plans, yet the utilisation of this infrastructure to deploy services and solutions that benefit sustainable development is largely untapped. ? Create an enabling policy framework that supports the deployment of ICT to deliver solutions, for example, in the areas of e-health, smart grids, transport and mobility, food and agriculture. 2. Expectations for the outcome of Rio+20 GeSI?s expectations for the outcome of Rio+20 relate to a number of areas. Specifically, we call on stakeholders to: ? Focus on delivering the services that society needs, and not necessarily the traditional ways of providing them. ? Recognise the importance of including transformative ICT solutions in Rio+20 outcome documents and processes. ? Set targets for sustainability contributions of transformative ICT solutions. ? Encourage a policy framework that includes transformative ICT solutions. ? Encourage engagement of the private sector, in particular to foster innovation and dematerialisation perspectives through modern technological advances. Transformative ICT Solutions The landmark report ?SMART 2020: Enabling the Low-Carbon Economy in the Information Age? gave a clear picture of the key role that the ICT industry plays in addressing climate change globally and facilitating efficient and low-carbon development. While ICT?s own sector emissions will nearly double by 2020, the strategic application and diffusion of ICT solutions in other business sectors can reduce total global emissions by as much as 15 per cent. These savings are five times larger than the total expected emissions from the entire ICT industry and with more focus on transformative solutions this contribution could be significantly larger. Examples of sectors where transformative solutions can help reduce emissions by 80 per cent or more include: ? Smart transportation: Radio tags can be attached to items in a cargo and their journey tracked from manufacturer to warehouse and to shop. This makes it easier to move goods and stock more efficiently. Using ICT could help cut emissions from distribution and transportation by 1.52 billion tonnes. ICT can also facilitate decentralised and on-demand production that reduces the need for transport and storage to almost zero. In a similar way ICT can make commuting much more efficient while teleworking is even better and can support a much more resource efficient way of working. ? Smart grids: Connected electricity supply grids can be controlled so that energy is sent to industries and homes in the most efficient way, accelerating the uptake of renewable energy. By 2020, this could reduce carbon emissions by two billion tonnes. Smart grids can also support decentralised renewable energy distribution and the accelerated uptake of electric cars. ? Smart buildings: By using ICT in buildings for managing light and heat systems, resources consumption can be adapted to match demand in real time. Smart buildings could save 1.7 billion tonnes of emissions. ICT can also help a shift in approach where connected buildings in cities become net producers of renewable energy. ? Smart motor systems: In factories, the motors used to power machines such as pumps or conveyor belts can be made ?intelligent? through the use of ICTs. With ICTs, emissions from motor systems could be reduced by 0.97 billion tonnes of carbon emissions, worth EUR ?68 billion. ? Dematerialisation: Further savings can be achieved from the potential of ICTs to enable dematerialisation- replacing high-carbon physical products and services with virtual alternatives. For example, e-commerce leads to dramatic reductions of physical transport and could avoid more than a billion tonnes of carbon emissions. Virtual meetings and remote working will also significantly reduce carbon emissions caused by travel, saving half a billion ton of carbon emissions without any major investments.

A heartening advance
Henrico Doctors' Hospital physician Charles Zacharias shows a patient video of the patient's own heart, as seen during an earlier procedure conducted as part of the hospital's TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) program. HCA Virginia is the only hospital in the region to offer the minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure, which provides a therapeutic alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis who have previously been deemed inoperable.
The hospital hosted an open house Sept. 5 to demonstrate the procedure, which has already been used on five patients who otherwise could not have received the life-saving assistance they needed.

ZF-6678: Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl returning HTTP headers in body
When an HTTP server responds with "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue", it can also contain additional headers before the next "HTTP/1.1 ****". This isn't handled properly by Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl::write(). Near the end of the method, it just strips "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue\r\n\r\n" from the response. Instead, the response should be removed until it finds the next "HTTP/1.1 ****" in the response.
The problem this creates is that the response object contains the second set of headers in the body. I found this problem when trying to use the cURL adapter with UPS web services.
Assigning to Benjamin Eberlei (who authored the curl adapter)
Hm, that is a hard one.
The API of Zend Http makes it hard to work with Curl 100 states. I see what i can come up with :-)
The attached patch resolves the issue.
Can you send me an example HTTP ping pong that executes parts of the patched code? I have applied the patch locally and it seems not to interfere with the tests (all still passing). The new code also executes for several tests, but all those worked before also. I need an example of how i get the old code to fail :-)
Here's the HTTP response that was causing the problem:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue Expires: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:10:45 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store Pragma: no-cache
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7a Content-Length: 9226 Content-Type: text/xml Expires: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:10:46 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store Pragma: no-cache Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:10:46 GMT Connection: keep-alive
<?xml version="1.0" ?> The rest of the body goes here...
This issue is more broad than just the HTTP/1.1 100 Continue case. You can get similar problems when trying to use the curl adapter to perform HTTP Digest Authentication. Curl will make a first request to the server to poll it for the appropriate nonce value to perform that hash. After this it sends another request with the appropriate credentials. Curl returns both sets of headers however, one for the 401 Authorization Required and then a second for the 220 OK response.
Zend_Http_Client is including the second 200 OK response headers as part of the response body since they are after the first double newlines. Additionally Zend_Http_Client is interpreting the first HTTP/1.1 401 as the response and falsely indicating that there was an error.
Here is some code that can reproduce the problem:
$curl_adapter = new Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl();
$curl_adapter->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH,CURLAUTH_ANY); $curl_adapter->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_USERPWD,"user:password");
$http_client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://domain.com/digest/auth/url'); $http_client->setAdapter($curl_adapter);
$response = $http_client->request();
The provided path will only fix the HTTP/1.1 100 Continue case since it specifically looks for the 100 code to remove. A more general solution is required as it appears Curl returns the headers for every request it makes.
Attached a more general solution.
Applied Jordans patchs, fixed in r16035 and merged back into 1.8 release branch. Thank you!

B8541-001: Leadership Through Fiction
W - Full Term, 05:45PM to 09:00PM
Location: URI 332
Instructor: Bruce Craven
Course Introduction Video:
Bruce Craven, Leadership Through Fiction, Summer 2013
This course will use fictional narratives (novels, plays, screenplays, poetry), supported by non-fictional texts, to evaluate a variety of challenges that face developing business leaders. The course will build the leadership resources of each student by offering them the opportunity to live through the experiences of literary, stage and screen characters, reflecting on how the characters successfully or unsuccessfully guide and motivate themselves and others toward desired goals. How are decisions made, how is the context evaluated, how is risk managed, how are internal values clarified, how are others motivated to follow, how -- when successful -- are the desired ends achieved...and when not achieved, what could have been done to reach the desired goals?
This course is founded in the belief that the imaginative experience of interacting with narrative offers students a powerful and unique opportunity to prepare for future experiences, engaging in a visceral way with conflict that will prepare them for better decision-making and professional choices.

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
Google announced today that it will join Amazon in offering consumers a cloud-based music locker service. Google's news, which had been rumored for some time, presents an opportunity to both answer and ask some questions about the future of the music industry.
Those questions make clear that while services like these do improve the ability for fans to access their music, they still only get us a little bit closer to the larger goal: making sure artists get paid and fans are happy.
Do music locker services violate current copyright laws?
UPDATE: The Court in OpenMind Solutions v. Does 1 – 2925 heard oral argument on April 11, 2011. At the end of the hearing — during which the judge expressed some initial concerns with OpenMind's attempt to lump the defendants into a class action — the judge requested that OpenMind and EFF submit briefs on the merits of the class action lawsuit. Those briefs will be due in two weeks; we will then wait for a ruling from the Court. In the meantime (as reported below), discovery remains stayed.
Further proof that the recording industry's oft-repeated claims of the downfall of the entire music industry hold no water: a new report finding that filesharing has led directly to "reduced costs of bringing works to market and a growing role of independent labels." In other words, in the past decade, we have seen more music from independent outlets and at lower prices – something that consumers and music fans should all be happy about.
As many — EFF included — have been saying for years, filesharing is not the reason that the recording industry has fallen on hard financial times. In fact, the recording industry's complaints that the sky is falling really only apply to the recording industry, and not musicians and the fans, who have seen increased music purchases, increased artist salaries, and the availability of more music than ever before. And now two new reports further debunk the recording industry's myth.
In the last months of 2010, the WikiLeaks wars reminded transparency activists of something copyright and trademark lawyers know all too well – online speech is only as strong as the many service providers on which it depends. All too often web hosts, domain name registrars and other service providers cave at the slightest legal or government pressure, with disastrous consequences for their users.

Vice Dean Cahill Discusses Mandatory Minimum Sentences on BK Live 10/10/2014 Vice Dean Michael Cahill, a criminal law scholar whose work has examined sentencing law and policy, recently appeared on public affairs television program BK Live to discuss mandatory minimum sentences. Professor Michael Cahill on Drug-Dealer Bill 1/22/2010 A bill has been proposed that would allow New York state law enforcement to charge drug dealers with manslaughter if someone dies from use of their products. Proponents of the bill say it will dissuade major dealers from sharing drugs with friends. However many legal experts disagree, arguing the measure is poorly worded and could implicate any drug user who has simply passed drugs to another. Professor Michael Cahill, who has worked on penal code reform, was quoted by Newsday on the dispute. He sides with other critics of the bill, explaining that it is too ambiguous by failing to address intent. He added pessimistically, "I know it's unprincipled and it probably won't work, but that doesn't stop states from passing these kinds of laws all the time." Professor Michael Cahill Publishing New Article on Blackmail and the Law 10/2/2009 Professor Michael Cahill was featured on the CrimProf Blog, a blog for law professors, for his new article, "Competing Theories of Blackmail: An Empirical Research Critique of Criminal Law Theory." The piece, co-written by Professor Paul Robinson from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Professor Daniel Bartels from the University of Chicago, analyzes and critiques various current theories, as well as reveals the conflict between community views on the issue and existing legislation. Professor Michael Cahill on Long Island Drunk Driving and Assault Case 7/16/2009 Donna Powell, a Long Island woman who has admitted to drunk driving, defends her actions as an escape from assault. Professor Michael Cahill, an expert on criminal law, spoke to Newsday about the case. "It will be difficult to prove that Powell was in imminent danger of assault," he said, "It's also tough to say that the harm of drunken driving is clearly less serious than the harm of being assaulted. While Powell didn't hurt anyone that night, she clearly could have." Related Links: Faculty News Curriculum

While there is not as yet a fibromyalgia cure, the key to finding relief from the pain and fatigue is usually a combination of existing fibromyalgia treatments and therapies. It may take some trial and error to find an effective combination of treatments. Here are several options worth trying:
Currently, there are three FDA-approved drugs for use as fibromyalgia treatments.
Pregabalin (Lyrica) was originally developed as an anti-seizure medication, but has since shown benefits in relieving anxiety, some sleep problems and pain in people with fibromyalgia. Another anti-seizure medication, gabapentin (Neurontin) is sometimes used off-label (meaning it is used for but not FDA-approved for a condition) as a fibromyalgia treatment.
Duloxetine (Cymbalta) and milnacipran (Savella) are dual-acting norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (anti-depressants), which raise concentrations of neurotransmitters known to inhibit pain transmission. Other antidepressants show to provide relief include amitryptiline hydrochloride (Elavil, Endep), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft).
Other types of medications have also been shown to provide symptom relief. Doctors can and do prescribe these medications to fibromyalgia patients, sometimes at doses specific for treating fibromyalgia symptoms. They include:
• Analgesics, including tramadol (Ultracet, Ultram)
• Muscle relaxants, such as cylobenzaprine (Cycloflex, Flexeril)
• Fatigue medications, such as modafinil (Provigil)
Other medications are being investigated for their usefulness in people with fibromyalgia, as well.
Physical activity is has been shown to be a valuable fibromyalgia treatment, but activities must be chosen carefully and started at a low level.
"Deconditioned muscles are a potent pain generator in fibromyalgia," says Kim Jones, PhD, a fibromyalgia researcher at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. "It's not fair to tell people with fibromyalgia, 'just exercise and you'll feel better,' because many people have tried that and they end up in bed for two weeks recovering," she says.
"The trick is to exercise slowly enough that you can condition muscle without generating pain, and we're finding perhaps this can be done more efficiently if people with fibromyalgia are given the drug pyridostigmine (Mestinon) prior to exercise," she says.

Harlequin Pillow Tutorial
Yes, along with the rest of blogland, I too have spent the last few weeks playing around with an AccuQuilt GO! Baby Fabric Cutter. I have to admit, prior to using it, I wasn't convinced of the necessity of this thing. But now that I've spent some time getting to know this little Baby, I'm a convert! Especially when it comes to cutting some of the more unusual shapes like circles and diamonds.
The GO! Baby is a lot smaller, more compact, and lightweight than I expected, and it's amazingly easy to set up and use. I completed a simple four-patch Drunkard's Path block within 30 minutes of taking the cutter out of the box! In addition to the Drunkard's Path die, I requested the Tumbler and Diamond dies. All three dies cut cleanly and accurately through multiple layers of fabric in my tests. My only complaint is that threads sometimes get stuck in the crevices of the die, causing some fraying along the fabric's cut edges. But that's a minor issue that hasn't caused any problems with my piecing.
Blocks from all three dies sewed up fairly accurately. I needed to do a little squaring up on my Drunkard's Path block, but that particular die allows for some trimming space along the edges of the block, so it wasn't a problem.
And as busy as I've been this past week, I even managed to complete a project using my GO! Baby—this harlequin pillow for the bench in my mud room. With my GO! Baby, the whole thing took about three hours from start to finish. Here's how to make it:
1. For the background diamonds, you'll need a piece of solid fabric at least 18" by 24". (I used a half-yard cut.) Accordian-fold your fabric in 4" sections across the wider side, so that you end up with a folded section at least six layers thick, and measuring about 4" by 18".
2. Lay your folded fabric across the AccuQuilt GO! 4-inch Diamond die. Make sure your fabric covers the edges of the die. (One tip I just read is to outline the die with a Sharpie so that you can see the edges better.)
3. Put your cutting mat over the top of the folded fabric and run the whole thing through the cutter. (Make sure your excess fabric is positioned so that it will go through the cutter last.) I was able to run 10 layers through the cutter without a problem. With that many layers, it did take a little arm strength, but no more than I'm accustomed to as a mother who carries around small children!
4. Ta da! Diamonds.
5. Now take your excess fabric and move that into position on the die. The cut edge from the previous set of diamonds matches up perfectly with the edge of the die for cut #2, as shown above. Turn the die around and run it through—again with the excess fabric at the back. With careful planning and positioning, you should be able to get another complete set of diamonds out of this fabric—that's 40 diamonds per half-yard, cut in less than 10 minutes! (You'll only need 24 solid diamonds for this pillow.)
6. And here's the waste generated after cutting a half-yard worth of diamonds. Nice!
7. In addition to the solid diamonds, you'll need 18 print diamonds for this project. I cut 4" wide strips from my prints, layered the strips on top of each other, and rolled them through together.
8. Lay out your diamonds, alternating solids and prints, according to the diagram above.
9. Now sew the diamonds together, working in rows diagonally across the pillow. So, you'll start by sewing together diamonds A1 and A2 in the diagram above. Line up the diamonds so that the edges intersect 1/4" from each point (right where your seam will be). This results in little triangles sticking out on each side called dog ears—see them up there? Make sure those dog ears are showing, and that they're roughly even on each side, or your rows won't be straight!
Here's what they look like sewn together.
10. Now sew together the next row, numbers B1, B2, B3, and B4. Continue through the rows—sew together all the C diamonds, all the Ds, etc.—until you have 9 angled rows. Press your seam allowances open, using a dry iron. I press my seam allowances whichever way gives me the most accuracy. That can vary depending on the type of piecing—or at least for me it does. In this case, I think open is best.
11. To sew the rows together, put two rows together, right sides facing. (Some rows are longer than others, so check the diagram to see which seams should line up with each other.) To match up the diamond points, flip down the top layer, as shown above, folding it down at the place your 1/4" seam will fall. You're looking for those angled seams to line up at that 1/4" point, as they do in the photo above.
12. Once you've determined the seams are lined up, put a pin through the seam, exactly 1/4" from the raw edge, as shown.
13. The pin should come out through the seam on the other side as well. (If it doesn't, just wiggle the pin as it goes through until you hit the right spot.) Then push the pin back through to the front side, as usual. Now you've not only marked exactly where your 1/4" seam should fall, you've pinned the two pieces in a way that they should align neatly!
14. Sew directly over your pins. I sometimes remove my pins as I sew, but I found my diamonds lined up better when I left the pins in.
15. When all of your rows are sewn together, you should have something that looks like this. Trim your pillow top down to 18.5" square by cutting off the excess points at the edges.
16. I quilted my pillow with straight angled lines, 1/4" from the seams, then finished with a simple envelope closure. (Here's a good tutorial for finishing a pillow.)
The bottom line: I've found the GO! Baby to be a gigantic time-saver. I don't really see myself using it for squares, strips, or the like, but I can't imagine cutting more complex shapes without my GO! Baby! I'm also very interested in giving the Half Square Triangle die a try. Although, then again, maybe I shouldn't, considering the amount of time I just put in making HSTs the hard way for my Warm/Cool quilt!
How about you? Want a GO! Baby of your own? You probably know the drill by now—I'll be giving away one of these, plus three dies of the winner's choice, in the next few weeks. So stay tuned!

Beautiful pillow!I don't have a Go Baby,but maybe someday I will and this pillow will be a must do.
By the way, I'm currently working on your kissing fish quilt (aka kissing koi around here!)I'm loving it... squaring up those small hst's is a real time time suck though!

I have the AccuQuilt Studio and absolutely love it! I had to save a bit longer for it, but I can use other company's dies (with a tray adapter), AccuCut dies, and get custom dies done. I was able to cut out a king size quilt kit for a friend in 30 minutes one day!
I disagree with you on the usefulness of the strip dies though. . . they are my absolute favs (well, them and the hexs). I can cut strips, squares, and both 45 and 60 degree diamonds with the strip dies just by adding a few markings to my die so I know where to lay the fabric and it really speeds up making binding.

How cute! I am totally intimidated by the more difficult shapes. I have seen the accu-quilt and wondered how well they worked. It would be awesome to try one!

I've been tempted to buy one of these...haven't succumbed yet though. It's good to read all these reviews of them. :-)

text: Lasallians in Action Living Lasallian We are Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, a Lasallian Catholic living and learning community. We are faculty, administrators, students, alumni, parents, children, volunteers, educators, businessmen and women, friends, co-workers, benefactors, De La Salle Christian Brothers, laymen and laywomen. Although the backdrops of our lives all differ, as you'll see in our stories, there is one major similarity: Together – and by association – we are Lasallian. Sarah Jane Engle '07 Major: Youth and Pastoral MinistryCareer goals: To become a youth minister of a parish. Until then, volunteer for a year or two in Brooklyn, N.Y., serving as a campus minister at Bishop Laughlin High School.Sarah Jane breezed in for a photo, after several attempts to reschedule. It was the day before graduation, and between choir rehearsal and packing (which she admitted she hadn't yet started), she squeezed in five minutes for a picture. Scheduling her lengthy list of involvements – both in and out of school – can't have been easy.But behind her camera-ready smile is someone who isn't afraid to get dirty and break a sweat – all in the name of helping others. Engle was part of a group of SMU volunteers who assisted hurricane victims in Biloxi, Miss., clean up debris and demolish their houses before rebuilding. And now, she's dedicating the next couple of years of her life to the Lasallian Volunteer program – where she hopes her work will inspire others in a large and diverse student body in Brooklyn, N.Y.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? ENGLE: I am sure that I heard the term immediately stepping foot on campus as a freshman in 2003. However, I do admit not fully understanding (or appreciating) the significance of the term. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? ENGLE: I believe that it was defined not in class, but in extracurricular activities, such as volunteer services with Katie LaPlant '02, (director of Student Activities and Volunteer Services). I found myself more interested in service and leadership than ever before. I discovered that giving was so much more than good deeds. Giving can be a way to give a gift to God through my own gifts from Him. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? ENGLE: To me, being Lasallian means having an understanding and desire to enlighten others through teaching, service, and leadership. Through helping those who are not as fortunate as oneself (whether it be through teaching a classroom, building a home, or advocating for those who are unable to stand up for themselves), one can become an inspiration to someone else, and thus, the pathway is paved for more Lasallian educators. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? ENGLE: I constantly witnessed (the Lasallian spirit) at SMU. … I realized how much the professors at SMU value each and every student. Faculty members have constantly striven for my success and have given me immense support the past four years. I have not only witnessed it in the classroom, but in all the extracurricular activities that I was involved with as well. Through Volunteer Services, we not only made trips to the Catholic Worker, but made it a point to get to know the other volunteers as well as those in need of our help. This was always important to me because we could really become a part of the community through our service. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? ENGLE: I gained so much more from a Lasallian education than any other college or university I could have attended and that is because of the amazing support and dedication from Saint Mary's University staff and faculty. Having this support and wisdom available at all times is the sign of a Lasallian education. Students at SMU gain an understanding of the importance of teaching, leadership and service. I strongly believe that I have more strength, faith, intelligence and understanding because of my Lasallian education. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? ENGLE: I think that I am about to become more Lasallian through my volunteer work. I feel as though right now I understand what makes the Lasallian spirit imperative and next year I can apply that more than I can today. While at SMU, I was involved in Volunteer Services, Student Activities, orientation leading, theatre, Chamber Singers, Concert Choir, Liturgical Choir, SMU CREW, Theta Alpha Kappa, and many more various activities. It was through my involvement on campus that I became more aware of who I was and who I am meant to become. The people I met through these enriching activities helped shape me into the woman I am today. By becoming involved, relationships are bonded and friendships grow, and being well-rounded creates unique ties and support from a diverse group of people. The relationships I have made in the past four years will continue throughout my life. I hope to make many visits to SMU as I know I will always feel truly welcome and at home. Roxanne Eubank, Ed.D. Title: Professor, Ed.D. in Leadership, Twin Cities campusYears at SMU: 22Whether she's preparing finger sandwiches for high tea or preparing for class, Roxanne Eubank, Ed.D., brings a sense of class, a sense of humor and a lot of preparation to every experience.Eubank isn't a professor to stoically lecture behind a podium. Animated and at ease in front of a classroom, she is well known for connecting with her students, being highly prepared for her classes and always willing to share a laugh. Eubank highly respects her students but also has high expectations of her students.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? EUBANK: I really don't remember. As long as I have been at SMU, the term Lasallian has been a part of my consciousness. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? EUBANK: I don't remember the first time an official definition was provided, but I do remember when I truly began to understand what it meant to be Lasallian. In my first years at the university, I had an office across the hall from the classroom where Brother Julius Winkler '36 taught. His humility, patience and kindness were inspiring. Even today, when I think about what it means to be Lasallian, I picture Brother Julius sitting in the classroom with his students, gathered around him, leaning closer to catch his every word. He would listen closely to each student's contribution. At that moment they were the most important person in the world. He lived the mission in his every word and action. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? EUBANK: From my perspective, Lasallian means a community of people who work in association to provide educational opportunities to those who are most in need. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? EUBANK: I see the Lasallian spirit everywhere on our campus. I see it when faculty members exhibit a zeal for helping their students to learn. I see it when students show respect and kindness to their fellow students. I see it when staff members drop everything to help students with crises large and small. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? EUBANK: To quote one of my colleagues, 'A person does not go through a Lasallian education. A Lasallian education goes through the person.' From my perspective as a teacher of adult students, all people are 'collegeaged.' The history of our Lasallian heritage and our hopes and dreams for the future are invested in our students. The extent to which they embrace their rights and responsibilities as Lasallian-educated persons and go on to lead lives of service that contribute to the common good is the measure of our success and our hope for the future. I've seen many students leave us to move on to positions of leadership around the world. They become leaders of organizations, teachers and elected officials. Through their work, I see the reflection of our institution and our mission. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? EUBANK: My Lasallian formation has changed me in some very important ways. My sense of my responsibilities as a member of society in general has changed. I see my vocation as a teacher to not be limited to my classroom. I have a responsibility to be a teacher and a learner in all aspects of my life. I would say I try to be Lasallian. I think that being Lasallian is a journey that takes much reflection and effort. Just calling myself Lasallian wouldn't make it so. Each day presents new challenges and new opportunities to live the mission. Some days I am more successful than others. For me personally, the world Lasallian represents a path that a learning community (students, teachers and staff) walks together. To paraphrase Saint John Baptist de La Salle, it is a journey that 'leads them to practice well all the good of which they are capable.' Brother Paulos Welday Mesmer,FSC '90, M'91, Ed.D. Title: Director, Christ the Teacher Institute for Education; Associate Dean, the School of Education, SMUYears at SMU/CTIE: 11Flipping through recent pictures, taken in Nairobi, brings a mixture of emotions. In them, a crowd of children, eager to be photographed, gathers together, curious and laughing. Many are not wearing shoes. Their classrooms aren't filled with colorful charts and bulletin boards. Their desks aren't filled with sharpened pencils and new containers of glue, shiny folders and art suppliesMany graduates of Christ the Teacher Institute for Education at Saint Mary's Nairobi campus – armed with an education many themselves struggle to afford – will teach these children. As Saint John Baptist de La Salle knew, education is the key to saving generations.Brother Paulos Welday Mesmer, FSC, a native of Eritrea, Africa, has served as associate dean and director of CTIE since 2003.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? BR. PAULOS: My guess is that I heard it when I was a Brothers student in elementary school. I joined a Brothers school in grade five. I have been part of the Lasallian system of education and way of life since then. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? BR. PAULOS: To be Lasallian is to be guided by those values and principles that De La Salle lived and encouraged his followers to practice in their endeavor to touch the hearts and to teach the minds of their students; particularly, those most in need. How often and when do you witness the Lasallian spirit at CTIE? BR. PAULOS: I witness Lasallian work all day and every day at CTIE. At CTIE we make every effort to touch the hearts and teach minds of not only every student, but also every person who comes into contact with us. Every day we make conscious efforts to treat every person with dignity and respect. I believe, treating everyone as a son or daughter of God is the first thing that needs to be done if we are to call ourselves Lasallians. Outside of the classroom we see the vivid and vibrant Lasallian spirit in our students when they do their practice teaching. The high schools within Nairobi, where our students do their practice teaching, see our students as a leaven for love and respect-based education. We hear many comments from many school principals and teachers that high school students very much enjoy the presence of our students in their respective schools. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? BR. PAULOS: Lasallian education does not focus on the intellectual aspect only, but also on the holistic aspect of the human person. The African continent faces many challenges today. In my view, the most reliable and authentic way to alleviate the population from the many man-made and natural challenges is through education. No matter how small the contribution of the Lasallian educations may be at this moment, nonetheless we are making a difference. No matter how small, we are making a small ripple that will have a lasting effect. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? BR. PAULOS: Indeed, I very much considermyself a Lasallian. I say this not only because I am a De La Salle Brother and have offered my life for the Lasallian educational mission, but also because I am very much aware of what Lasallian educational mission is all about and I make conscious and deliberate effort to practice it. I have been involved in the Lasallian educational system for more than 25 years. During these years I have worked as a teacher, school principal and now as director of Christ the Teacher Institute for Education. I can share many, many stories where Lasallian education has become a means for holistic transformation. However, I would like to mention that Lasallian education is not confined to education in the classroom but is also the totality of how people relate to the people they work with, whether they are teachers, principals, directors or other forms of service. To be Lasallian is to re-live the life of De La Salle and that life is a live of love, authenticity, truth, care, sharing, etc. If we are ready to do these values, then we are true Lasallians. How is CTIE Lasallian? BR. PAULOS: Because entrance to the local universities has many hurdles, most of our students would not have been able to make it there, or … would not have survived until the end to receive a degree. Because of CTIE's affiliation with SMU, the dreams of many students are being fulfilled in our Institute. SMU, for many of our students, is a Godsend. A good number of our students never got the opportunity to excel in their studies. Most of them come from schools where educational facilities are limited. Actually, a good number of our students come as C and even sometimes as D students. However, after three or four years of stay at CTIE, they prove to be excellent students. CTIE believes in uplifting students by giving them the opportunity to excel while mentoring and demanding maximum effort from them. In the past, most of our students came from Roman Catholic religious congregations. Currently, that has changed and most of our students are lay. Most of the lay students come from the countryside and are sponsored by religious missionaries. Some students are sponsored by their family members or relatives. Usually, these students find it extremely hard to find the money they need for tuition and living expenses for three to four years. It is quite heartbreaking to see them experiences serious difficulties to raise the necessary funds to continue their studies. Our Institute makes maximum effort to let these students continue their studies, even after failing to cover all of the tuition costs. Our Institute believes and acts on that belief that education is a medium for personal transformation. After experiencing personal transformation, we expect our students to become agents of societal transformation through education. Our Institute makes maximum effort to support those students who come from the countryside (of Kenya) because we believe — and our observation testifies to the fact — that these are the people who need all the help they can get and these are the people who will go back to the countryside to educate those who are most in need after graduation. The biggest part of the Lasallian educational mission is fulfilled through them: helping those who are most in need. Molly Murphy '97 Hometown: Saint Paul, Minn.Employment: Director of Marketing & New Product Development, FLS Connect, Saint Paul, Minn.Molly Murphy has probably never met someone who didn't become her friend. Her outgoing personality and constant smile is contagious. It isn't surprising that Murphy associates Lasallian with community, as she is constantly building community through her work, her friends, her volunteer work with other SMU alumni.Close friends and classmates of Murphy's died in an accident her senior year. It was a tragic event that saddened and shocked the university, the city and beyond. Classmates look back and say Murphy's strength helped to hold everyone together. Murphy credits Saint Mary's University. It was this difficult moment that helped her define exactly what it means to be part of a community.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? MURPHY: I don't exactly remember. I'm sure it was when I was in high school and Ken Pellegrini '72 (Office of Admission) came to do some recruiting! Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? MURPHY: I can't remember! It was so long ago. I think it was probably freshman orientation. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? MURPHY: Lasallian to me means community. Saint Mary's encourages each student to be the best person they have it in themselves to be; the university fosters an environment where students are encouraged to seek out their passions, to lead lives of leadership; and to achieve academic success. Yet, we are – and will always be – a part of a larger community. Each student's individual accomplishments add value to the SMU community as a whole. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? MURPHY: Every day! Outside the classroom, I was struck by an outpouring of the Lasallian spirit my senior year when my roommates/friends drowned in an accident. I remember walking into the college center from the chapel and seeing a flood of people – who like me – needed to feel safe, needed to be consoled, needed to be with their families and friends, needed to be reminded that as long as you're a part of the SMU community you will always be taken care of, and that's exactly what we got. I have never in my life witnessed the courage and resolve and the overwhelming sense of community I did during that time. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? MURPHY: I consider myself really lucky to have received the education I did at Saint Mary's; it was a great prep course for life! I got a well-rounded education which allowed me to take the tools I learned inside the classroom and apply them to both my professional and personal life; to lead a life based on the principles my parents raised me with; to welcome a challenge; to have the courage to face obstacles head on; to maintain my integrity with everything that I do; and to lead a life of faith. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? MURPHY: I guess I try to create communities around me – my family, my friends, my profession, my SMU connections – these are all communities that are a part of me. They have all, in their own unique way, made an impact on me and still do. I'm not quite yet sure who I am meant to be, I have a lot left to do. All these communities are helping me figure out who that exactly is. I volunteer for political campaigns; and belong to the Galtier Society which is a Twin Cities-based association of young Catholics. I love playing golf, traveling and spending time with my seven nieces and nephews! I just completed my two-year term as president of the Twin Cities Alumni Chapter, which was really a rewarding experience. Homecoming was my first meeting as a member of the Alumni Board of Directors. It's awesome to be able to give something back to the SMU community after everything I feel it's given me. Jake Olzen '07 Majors: Literature and SociologyCareer goals: To work in higher education and be part of a Catholic Worker community, providing hospitality as well as educational and service opportunities.Jake Olzen's name often precedes him. Whenever articles and e-mails come out concerning "sustainable living," "on-campus flea markets," "renewable energy," and "peace and justice," Olzen's name is usually connected. He doesn't hide his commitment to the environment, as well as to his fellow man.Olzen combined these two passions during a summer project, constructing a straw bale house in Lake City, Minn., with some of the other Dan Corcoran Catholic Worker Home volunteers and workers from Winona. Straw bales are used as an ecofriendly insulation. The group hopes to continue the Catholic Worker mission of providing hospitality for those in need at this new location.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? OLZEN: When I was applying to Saint Mary's and the honors program as a senior in high school. I had no idea what it meant at the time or if I even knew what its values were. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? OLZEN: A friend invited me to an event the Lasallian Collegians were putting on. The LCs are kind of like a college youth group centered on the Lasallian ideals of faith, service and community. I really made some great friends and had some wonderful opportunities to serve and grow in community with other Lasallians through the group. Dr. Mary Fox '75, M'89 (Interdisciplinary Studies) had been invited to speak on what it means to her to be Lasallian, and the discussion we had was really provoking. That same semester, sophomore year in the honors program with Dr. Joe Tadie '91 (Philosophy), we were exploring the relationship between justice and service, and it all seemed to fit together with the work the Christian Brothers were doing all over the world in trying to empower the youth and the poor through education and in working for justice. How would you personally define the Lasallian spirit? OLZEN: A concise definition, to me, is to live in faith with the community that you serve and serves you. This reflects a commitment of hospitality to all people, but particularly the poor and youth, to work for creating a more just world through the means of education (which I do not consider to be limited to the classroom). How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? OLZEN: Many times on service trips or praying together with friends on retreat, but also in the classroom through particular professors willing to challenge us to think with a lens that puts the poor at our center. At times it was difficult and frustrating, but how much I have grown to appreciate the Lasallian tradition is priceless. Specific examples are hard to name because I think Lasallian is more of a lifestyle than an achievement. In the classroom, I have seen it with professors challenging us to consider how social structures and educational opportunities are different for varying socio-economic groups. This can make us uncomfortable because it challenges the world many of us come from – where we are taught that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. While I certainly wish this were true, classroom experiences have taught me differently. But the Lasallian mission seeks to equalize these opportunities, and that gives me hope that the mission of the Brothers and of De La Salle is truly one worth following. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? OLZEN: For me, the two defining aspects of my person are the Catholic Worker movement and Lasallian education. The two go hand in hand. The Catholic Worker tends to be centered on hospitality, nonviolence, and community. Lasallian is faith, service and community. Both have impacted me immensely and drawn me to a life working for justice, educating others on injustices, and trying to offer alternatives for people to live justly. Perhaps I was meant to do this, but my Lasallian education definitely awakened the spirit within me and inspired me to act and try to live out these ideals. I've made great friends at Saint Mary's. The relationships we have, the levels that we know each other are so varying (at work, classroom, sports, partying, service, spiritual) that it's hard to say why they are so tight. But I would venture to guess that a lot of it had to do with sharing many different experiences with each other, week-long service trips to Biloxi, midnight hikes up to the rock, intramural wiffleball, retreat weekends… That involvement breeds great friendships. The friends I made at SMU are definitely a part of me. Bo Rettig '77 Hometown: LaGrange, Ill.Employment: Principal Software Engineer, Infor, Chicago, Ill.Certain words bring deep chuckles – even giggles – from classmates of the '70s and early '80s. Certain words that aren't all that funny to the rest of us are like secret codenames for hilarious memories during their time at Saint Mary's. It's been 30 years. They joke that they're losing their hair and hearing and expanding their waistlines, but – down deep – they haven't changed, and neither have their friendships.Some portion of this class gets together every summer for a GOOF (Get-together Of Old Friends) weekend. Often they bring their spouses and children for a full-fledged, boisterous and activity-filled reunion.Based upon their great memories and their great friendships, some of these classmates now award a Saint Jude Scholarship to a Saint Mary's student – assuring that future students create their own side-splitting memories at this university.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? RETTIG: I probably heard it from Brother Louis in an article in the Saint Mary's alumni magazine. I don't recall the term being as pervasive at SMU in the 1970s as it is today. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? RETTIG: Honestly, no, but I realize now that it was really at the core of my Saint Mary's experience from 1973 through today. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? RETTIG: SMU describes it as being compassionate in our dealings with others, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, and appreciative of art and culture. I would define it as developing and maintaining fulfilling and productive long term relationships that lead to those goals. SMU gave us the gift of those friendships, and the gift has enriched our lives and advanced education at SMU. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? RETTIG: We are very fortunate and have a wonderful group of friends – through SMU – who we can turn to in good times and bad. These extraordinary people have taught me a lot and helped instill any Lasallian qualities I might have. Individually and collectively, we have accomplished some extraordinary things over the years. I even got a great brother-in-law and some beautiful godchildren out of the deal. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? RETTIG: In 1984 we started a family reunion weekend of alumni from the late '70s and early '80s. We are in our 23rd year of this celebration on the SMU campus and as many as 75 people attend. Alumni families come from as far away as Pennsylvania, Georgia and Texas. It has been a great way to maintain our friendships, watch our families grow and share in each other's triumphs and sorrows, including the loss of a dear friend three years ago. One of our group said, 'I love having my kids see first-hand how good friends support each other. It's a lesson that will enrich their lives.' The Lasallian spirit of SMU breathes with every friendship we have developed and now some of our children are experiencing those relationships. Out of our reunion group sprang the Saint Jude Scholarship envisioned by Paul Trunk '76 and Brian Montgomery '79. In 1989, they persuaded 10 families to pledge $1,000 and in 1992 we awarded our first scholarship. Saint Jude is the patron saint of desperate situations, and we started the scholarship to help juniors and seniors who have difficulty finding financial aid, just as some of us did. We don't enforce rigorous academic standards, but instead ask why the student chose SMU, what activities they are involved in, their scholarship need, and what they plan to do after graduation. We review as many as 40 applications, and have found that students have taken wonderful advantage of the many Lasallian opportunities SMU affords. Students are engaged in a wide variety of activities at SMU but they also help individuals and groups in Winona and the surrounding communities. SMU is certainly teaching the importance of being Lasallian, as exhibited by these talented and committed students. Through the continued generosity of our expanding group, this year we awarded our 16th annual scholarship in the amount of $8,400, based on our growing endowment of $167,500. And not only are these people monetarily generous, many have also volunteered their time and expertise to SMU. I am extremely proud, grateful and honored to have these wonderful friends who advance the cause of knowledge by helping SMU students. Valerie Edwards Robeson Title: Assistant Professor of Social ScienceYears at SMU: 18Valerie Edwards Robeson's roles are many: mother, wife, teacher, advisor, leader, colleague and advocate. And in all things, Robeson brings a generous portion of caring, understanding and love. This, for her, is what being Lasallian is truly all about.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? ROBESON: In April 1986, Brother Finbar McMullen, FSC '46 and I were completing a 40-hour training program to become volunteer crisis advocates for survivors of domestic and sexual assault. I grew up out West and had never heard of the Christian Brothers; he was generous in telling me about them and their schools. He used the word "Lasallian" in passing. What we now know as the movement for lay association was really a twinkle in the eyes of only a few Brothers at that time. It wasn't a topic of conversation for most. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? ROBESON: When Brother William Mann provided an overview of the Lasallian charism on our campus around 1999. I remember thinking that we still didn't know what being Lasallian was all about, but at least we had a framework for talking and thinking more about what it means to be a Lasallian community. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? ROBESON: I could put it more fancily, I suppose, but I tell students that to be 'Lasallian' is to be characterized by two active commitments: to use the gifts of heart and mind to bring others to profound awareness that they are loved, and to invite others to share in this commitment. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit? ROBESON: Oh my gosh – every day. We are a human community, walking through our days with hurts that need balm and joys best celebrated in company, but also big questions that beg for answers illuminated by truth. Here are my best examples that we are a Lasallian learning community. In my presence a student has spoken or written about achieving more than she imagined herself capable of; about the 'new person' he has become since arriving at Saint Mary's; named the work study supervisor, faculty advisor and R.A. who made the 'footprints in the sand' during the student's difficult times; and expressed how a classmate's challenge or example or help totally changed how that student viewed himself and the world. These are students who have been transformed. Faculty and staff members have, in my presence, spoken of how a student reminded them why they work at Saint Mary's; inspired them to keep becoming better at their work; how each of us is someone's daughter or son; how to be better parents; how to be more faithful and faith-filled in our companionship to others. These are faculty and staff who have been transformed. A Lasallian university is a place where we discover and are transformed by the love we find in, through and for each other. Sometimes a grand moment is defining, but more often, it is a slow change of course neither planned nor acknowledged but discovered with hindsight. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? ROBESON: People – especially young adults today – need opportunities to feel they are a part of something larger than themselves. That 'something' needs to help them see behind and ahead, below and above, within and without. If they don't have a sense of context, they feel and behave as though they exist in a vacuum. We live in a culture laden with false dichotomies, polarizing positions. A poet whose name I have (dreadfully) forgotten wrote 'And so I fight with the one hand, and love with the other. In some of my dreams, tho', the fighting is over, and I love with both hands.' When young people receive the gift of love, and act in love to others, they participate in the creation of what I can only describe as a sacred context. They learn to love with both hands. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? ROBESON: The three-year Lasallian Leadership Institute (LLI) formation experience allowed me to step back and examine my development and level of commitment to the Lasallian educational mission – to guide and accompany others in their discovery of these questions and their answers. It was easy to recognize that my core beliefs and commitments were consistent with those of the charism, but reflection upon how this had come to be was the part that moved me most. I realized that I had, simply and impossibly, been loved into it. I believed then, as I do now, that at the beginning of each relationship we are not who the other person needs us to be. If we care enough to teach and learn from each other, we are eventually able to love more and better. The human capacity to love each other toward wholeness is a truly amazing and mysterious gift. My partner, children and close friends – though I fail them in countless ways – absolutely love me. I am grateful beyond measure for this constant gift. They teach and learn with me, even as we are all constantly growing and changing. These gifts of love are seemingly endless sources of encouragement to take the risks associated with learning and growing. Because of them, I am able to fulfill my role as a teacher, to challenge and encourage others to the risks of learning, and to share with others the wonderful dance of knowing and becoming. Step by step, though I usually only recognize it in hindsight, I know I am led into a life of abundant love. On my best days, Lasallian formation met its mission – my mind and heart work in union; on all the other days, heart and mind at least seek to know each other, and my life is richer than a mere sum of the two would allow. Scott Sorvaag, Ed.D. '07 &Karen Sorvaag, Ed.D. '07 Titles: Scott – Chair of Undergraduate Teacher Education; Assistant Professor; Karen – Master of Arts in Instruction Program Coordinator; Instructor, School of EducationYears at SMU: 11Twice a year Scott and Karen Sorvaag heat up the grill and invite all junior and senior education majors to a barbecue at their home. In the fall, students practice for the competitive kickball tournament, held every spring. Winners take home what the Sorvaags describe with a smile as the "coveted traveling kickball trophy."The Sorvaags say they look forward to the events as much as the students. "While this is about good, clean fun, competition and food, it is mostly about coming together and enjoying the company of one another," Scott said.Years after graduation, students check back with the Sorvaags to reminisce and update them on their lives. Being Lasallian means the bond between faculty and students doesn't end at commencement ceremonies.+ More Do you remember when you first heard the term Lasallian? SORVAAGS: When we were searching for the next calling in our work in education and we came upon the job description posted on the SMU website. We decided that this seemed like such a wonderful fit with what we deeply valued and wished to continue to do in our work. Can you describe the first time you remember that it was defined for you and in what context? SORVAAGS: It was first defined to us via the website, and through our conversations about possibly moving to Winona. We were most attracted to and drawn in by Saint Mary's mission. It became further defined to us through our contacts with university representatives during the hiring process, but also in our first days in new faculty workshop venues. How would you personally define what Lasallian means? SORVAAGS: To us Lasallian means being deeply committed to the potential and capacity in others through relationships, contexts of quality, and faith. It means caring for others and respecting others' voices. It means a commitment to the Lasallian tradition of preparing teachers for a world in need of transformation. How often and when did you witness the Lasallian spirit at the university? SORVAAGS: We witness the Lasallian charism every day in the work we do with students, faculty and others. Examples are: the caring conversations we share with our colleagues about providing the very best for our students; collectively defining community in a way that enhances the potential and capacity of everyone at the university; expecting the best from our students and fully supporting them throughout the experience; and accepting the responsibility of supporting our students in and out of the classroom. What do you think is the significance of a Lasallian education? SORVAAGS: We have experienced the significance of Lasallian education as faculty members, colleagues, students and partners. It has pervaded our work experience as well as our family experience. We both completed our doctoral degrees through SMU this summer and consider that a significant step in our shared Lasallian journey. We continue to see ourselves as Lasallian teachers, leaders and learners. This commitment is a lifelong journey for us. Our children are regular attendees with us at campus events and have spoken about their own future as students at SMU. Would you describe yourself as Lasallian? SORVAAGS: We describe ourselves as Lasallian because we remain focused on what it means to be Lasallian in our belief systems, actions, and our relationships with others. We have both served on multiple committees. Scott was part of the Lasallian Leadership Mentorship group; we've both served on SOUL mission trips with students through Campus Ministry; we attend our students' activities on a regular basis; we present at conferences together on topics that reveal our Lasallian work in teaching and learning; we meet with prospective students often and attend admissions events to welcome others to our shared work. We love working with students at this time in their lives when they are learning, growing, and working to understand their own identities in relationship to self and others. Being involved in the Lasallian community allows for greater opportunities and broader experiences in which to develop and grow.

"Come to Me," by Mary Johnson, is the debut release on the Tamla label. Founded by Berry Gordy, Tamla is the first of several labels under the umbrella of his Motown Records Corporation.
"Bad Girl" by the Miracles, is the first single released on the Motown label. The name is a concentration of Motor Town, a reference to Detroit's status as the center of the auto industry.
Berry Gordy moves all of Motown's operations into a two-story house at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, which he christens "Hitsville."
Motown signs the Primettes, a girl group just out of high school. They change their name to the Supremes.
"Shop Around," by the Miracles, is Motown's first national hit, reaching Number Two on the Billboard chart and topping Billboard's hot R&B singles list for eight weeks.
Motown's 12-year-old prodigy, Little Stevie Wonder, tops the pop charts with "Fingertips (Pt. II)." Recorded in concert, it is the first live single in history to reach Number One.
"Please, Mr. Postman," by the Marvelettes, becomes Motown's first Number One pop hit and second million-seller.
Martha and the Vandellas release "Dancing In the Street," a highlight of Motown's early years.
"Back in My Arms Again" tops the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making the Supremes the only American group to release five Number One hits in a row.
The Four Tops earn their second Number One single and the biggest hit of their career with "Reach Out, I'll Be There."
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine," written by Marvin Gaye and recorded by Gladys Knight and the Pips, rises to Number Two. Exactly a year later, Gaye's own version will become the top song in the country.
A young singing group, the Jackson 5, auditions for Berry Gordy. Fronted by nine-year-old Michael Jackson, they are signed on the spot.
Motown Records occupy the three top spots on Billboard's Hot 100, an unprecedented feat.
The Temptations with Motown its first Grammy for "Cloud Nine."
Diana Ross leaves the Supremes to go solo.

Volleyball Closes Six-Match Homestand, Takes Aim At First Place In EIVA
ALL-ACCESS (featuring the Penn State win)
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE STATS l EIVA STANDINGS l INFORMATION CENTRAL
MIDSEASON RECAP VIDEO: Will Siroky
PRINCETON: Roster l Schedule l Stats l Twitter
SACRED HEART: Roster l Schedule l Stats l Twitter
HARVARD: Roster l Schedule l Stats l Twitter
So far, this six-match homestand for the Princeton men's volleyball team has gone as well as anybody could have hoped. If the Tigers can close it with two more victories this weekend, they will find themselves alone in first place in the EIVA.
Princeton (6-6, 5-1 EIVA) will host Sacred Heart (7-10, 2-4) Friday night at 7 pm, and then will conclude its homestand Saturday at 4 pm against Harvard (8-4, 6-1). Both Harvard and Penn State are currently percentage points above Princeton in the EIVA standings, though all three have one loss apiece.
Penn State (13-3, 6-1), ranked 12th in the latest AVCA national poll, heads out of conference this weekend for a match at Ohio State, while the Crimson will play road matches at both George Mason and Princeton. Thus, if either Princeton or Harvard sweeps the weekend, that team will be alone in first place (though it would be tied with Penn State for league losses).
Princeton was in a far different place the last time it saw Harvard. The Tigers rallied from a 2-0 deficit, but they still fell 15-12 in the fifth set for their fifth straight loss. Four of those losses came in the fifth set, leaving Princeton fans wondering if their season was falling apart.
One night later, the Tigers picked up their first win at Sacred Heart. After one more out-of-conference loss, Princeton has won five straight, including four at home in league play. The most memorable, of course, was the 3-2 win at Penn State last Friday; it was Princeton's first win in 36 attempts against the Nittany Lions, and it came in front of more than 1,500 fans at Dillon Gym.
While the win was a thriller, it was also just one of 14 EIVA matches on the schedule this season, and the Tigers have two more to prepare for this weekend. Sacred Heart used a win over George Mason to vault into postseason contention, and a road win at Princeton could go a long way in clinching one of the top four spots in the league.
As for Harvard, the only other Ivy League school with a varsity men's volleyball program, that rivalry has grown significantly over the last few years. The Crimson has had the upper hand recently with six wins in the last seven matches, though Princeton did earn a 3-1 home win last season. Both Pat Schwagler and Devin Stearns had 15 kills apiece in the victory, while Schwagler added 22 in the 3-2 loss at Harvard this season.
Following the Harvard match, Princeton's next nine matches will be on the road. The Tigers return home for the EIVA finale April 18 against George Mason.

Governor Jack Markell recently received the Governor's Award at the 24th annual North American Energy Efficiency Forum in Washington, D.C.
Markell was joined with energy experts, legislators and business leaders in outlining the importance of keeping energy efficient at the forefront of national research and policies.
"Energy efficiency is the cleanest, cheapest, and quickest way to save money and reduce our energy needs," Markell said. "I applaud the organizers of the Energy Efficiency Forum for their strong advocacy of using efficiency initiatives to address environmental, economic and national security challenges. If we all come together around this issue, we can create jobs and save taxpayers money, while ensuring people have cleaner air to breathe."
The Governor's Award recognizes a current or former holder of a state-level elective office who has made a significant contribution to energy efficiency at the state government level.

Niko Bellic about to kill Anthony Corrado
|Jimmy Pegorino
|Anthony Corrado
|Leftwood & Westdyke
|Pest Control
|Unlocked by
Flatline is one of the last missions for Pegorino. It involves taking out Pegorino's best guard in a hospital in Alderney.
In this mission for Jimmy Pegorino, Niko finds out that Anthony Corrado, Pegorino's best guard, was wearing a wire and working for the government. He needs you to silence Corrado. Get a car, preferably a fast one, and drive to the Westdyke Memorial Hospital. Park your car at the curb and exit it - a good idea is to leave the car door open to make for a quick getaway. Don't enter the hospital with a weapon drawn or this will attract police attention - they have been tipped off about Pegorino's discovery.
When you enter the hospital, make a right and another right to the changing room. Next to one of the lockers, you'll see a doctor's outfit. Walk into it and press the L1/LT button to put it on. Leave the changing room and turn right. Then make a left and go to the end of the halls where the police officers are. Enter Anthony's room. The FIB agent will walk out to give you some 'patient alone time'. To let Corrado know that you're Niko, go to the side of the bed where Anthony's head is facing. Otherwise, he'll think you're Pegorino - but it doesn't affect the result.
There are two ways to end Corrado's life. If you want to execute him, point a pistol at his head and shoot him. This will draw the FIB's attention - and increase the chance of death. Alternatively, you can face the life support machine and deactivate it by pressing L1/LT again. Niko will say something like "Go to sleep, Anthony". Walk out of the ER room, do not sprint or run. Once you reach the waiting area/triage, the police will identify you as the killer -- you can now use your weapons as necessary. Run out of the hospital and into your still-waiting vehicle; drive away and lose your 2 star wanted level (or 3-star, if you shot any cops) to complete the mission.


text: Mar 7, 2013 12:42 Jerry Phillips Buddy Roemer Walt Leger III capitol news bureau Comments Ex-governor wants to 2-line briefhedmeet with Jindal2-line briefhed Former Gov. Buddy Roemer told a Baton Rouge radio station Friday that it might be time for the former governors to call again on Gov. Bobby Jindal. In 2009, Roemer and three of the five living former governors paid Jindal a visit to protest deep budget cuts to higher education. Only former Gov. Edwin Edwards, who was in prison at the time, missed the visit. With higher education continuing to struggle, Roemer told radio talk show host Jim Engster on Friday that another visit is in order, this time with Edwards present. Former Gov. David Treen since has died. "That time will come sometime this year," Roemer predicted. Leger starts new year with marriage State Rep. Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, celebrated the new year as a married man. Leger married Danielle Doiron in December at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in New Orleans. The couple met at a legislative dinner. Doiron is a researcher for the state Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee. Leger said he and Doiron honeymooned in Maui. DHH notice warns of layoffs A general notice of a pending layoff went out just before the New Year at the state Department of Health and Hospitals. "Positions occupied by employees affected by the proposed layoffs are located statewide within all offices of the Department," according to the notice from DHH Undersecretary Jerry Phillips. The layoff would be effective no later than June 30. Phillips said the notice is required to comply with Civil Service rules. "Right now there is no layoff being scheduled," he said. The notice is there just in case it is needed, Phillips said. It's the third year DHH has published such a notice, which also spells out the responsibilities of employees affected in a layoff. State graduation rate at 71 percent Louisiana finished ahead of just five states in its public high school graduation rate, according to the U.S. Department of Education. The state's rate is 71 percent, which is higher than Alaska, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon. Iowa leads the nation, at 88 percent. The lowest state is Nevada at 62 percent. The figure is 59 percent in the District of Columbia. No figures were listed for Idaho, Kentucky and Oklahoma. Louisiana's high school graduation figure entered the political arena in 2009 when the Legislature passed a law that said it should be 80 percent by 2014. The figures are 81 percent for Arkansas, 86 percent for Texas and 75 percent for Mississippi. Youth art display at Governor's Mansion The artwork of several south Louisiana children will be on display at the Governor's Mansion this month. First lady Supriya Jindal began the tradition in 2008 as a way to showcase the talent of Louisiana's young artists. The featured artists include Tuan Nguyen, Chancelor Farman and Patrick Thompson of Archbishop Shaw High School in Marrero; Alissa Nguyen and Dalannie George of Merrydale Elementary in Baton Rouge; Jakendrick Watkins and Keishaun Ranel of Iberville Elementary in Plaquemine; Uriel Baldesco and Abbey Chase of Little Oak Middle in Slidell; and Brant Tagalo and Alicia Briones of Central Middle School in Gonzales. BR Dems named to top 500 list Trey Ourso and Michael Beychok, of the Baton Rouge-based Democratic consulting firm of Ourso Beychok Inc., were named by Campaigns & Elections Magazine to its list of the top 500 Influencers in the United States. The two men are partners in the firm, which specializes in direct mail, message development and campaign management. Ourso, a direct mail expert, was recognized for his work in Kansas, where he has consulted with the House Democratic Caucus, among others, for the past two election cycles. During the 2012 elections, the House Caucus won 13 of the 14 races that were targeted by the group. Beychok made the list in Louisiana. La. Hayride rescheduled Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne rescheduled a celebration of the Louisiana Hayride. Instead of holding a concert, film screening and panel discussion Jan. 19, the event will be held Feb. 23 in Shreveport. No reason was given for the rescheduling. The Hayride, which was broadcast over radio and television, helped launch the careers of numerous musicians, including Elvis Presley. Hank Williams and Jimmie Davis also performed there. "We hope folks will embrace the new date and come to the historic Shreveport Municipal Auditorium to experience an authentic salute to north Louisiana's music," Dardenne said in a statement. Adam Knapp on tap at BR Press Club Adam Knapp, president and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, will be the speaker for Monday's meeting of the Baton Rouge Press Club. Knapp will discuss progress with the Creative Capital Agenda, the 2011-15 strategic plan for national and global competitiveness.
