Office of Admissions
The Presidential Ambassadors program is a scholarship opportunity for students who display leadership skills and pride in being Lander students. These traits are gauged through an interview process and displayed by the student through high academic achievement. As the face of Lander University, the Presidential Ambassadors are often the first people one meets when visiting the school. The Presidential Ambassadors give tours to prospective students, welcome visitors who are attending performances, and work in the Office of Admissions. They are an exceptional group of students, and you can meet all of them on this page.

Posing First Time Models Article
Tips That Can Help You Win That Photography Contest
When you aspire to be a professional photographer, one way to see your dream come true is by entering and hopefully, winning, photography contests. While there is a lot of competition in these, if you do a good job and are consistent, you can win.
Winning one of these photography contests can be a huge ego booster, and can help give you that extra edge you need to push you to reach your photography goals. If you really work at it, you can even make a nice profit, along with earning a name for yourself, with photography contests. The prizes are highly sought after, and with good reason, as many of them are worth as much as $1,000,000.
There are some tried and true tips that can help you better your odds of winning the next photography contest you choose to enter, so keep reading for the inside scoop.
The first one is pretty much common sense, but you would be surprised how many photographers skip this step. You must carefully read the rules and regulations of the contest, so that you can make sure your photo isn't disqualified right from the start. You don't want to take the best photo of your life only to find out it doesn't fit into the parameters set for the contest.
You want to try to make your work stand out above all the rest, so take some time to come up with a unique idea, and put some thought into selecting your photo to submit to the contest.
Don't wait until the last minute to try and get that winning photo, start early, and work on it everyday. You may work several weeks before you actually end up with a photo you are happy with.
Make sure that you don't waste your time entering a contest that you aren't interested in. If you don't have the motivation to win, odds are you won't.
Incorporate the elements of humor, color, expression, and shape into your photos, for maximum appeal. You want your photo to grab and hold the interest of anyone who views it, so this is important.
Make certain that your photos are clear and in focus, and that you have your photos printed or developed by a professional. You want to have the mindset of it has to be perfect, down to the tiniest detail, which is what it takes to win a major photography contest.
Remember, that if your photograph wins, it may become the property of whoever is hosting the contest. Meaning that you will accept whatever prize you are given as payment in full, and will earn no more profit from that photo, no matter how many times it is used in the future. This is another reason why it is so important to read all the rules and fine print.

What Is A Background Check and how can it help me?
Answering that question may seem simple, but it's a bit more complicated than just a one sentence answer. What is a background check? A background check is using a person's first and last name and if available, their social security number and running them through a database bank. The background check will look for matches of that name with names that are in lists according to topics such as: criminal, motor vehicle, credit, military, immigration, marital, civil and court actions and many more. If there is a match, it will flag it and report to the person who ordered the background check that there is a match in that specific area and you now know information on that person that you otherwise wouldn't have. So what is a background check? It is probably one of the most vital online tools available to us.
What is a background check? Through the use of a background check, you can find if there are any liens on the house you are about to buy. Or perhaps that cute guy you met in the grocery store, who is he really? Do you want to meet him without knowing anything about him? Don't you want to know if he's been married before or even divorced? What about his criminal background? Well for that matter, you're a landlord and are renting one of your apartments. Doing a background check on that prospective tenant is totally necessary no matter how successful the look. Countless situations call for a background check to be done to protect you and your family. What is a background check can probably be answered by anyone at this point.
Probably the most disturbing TV show I've ever witnessed was when I saw a nanny beating a one year old child and watching her hit him over and over and see the child screaming, totally defenseless against this madwoman. Knowing what is available to these parents, they could have alleviated all the pain and suffering that the child and they went through just buy running a very simple background check. Most people believe that instances like this will never happen to them. I bet this couple felt the same way. These people probably should have asked, what is a background check before they allowed this nanny in there home.
What is a background check is one of the most important questions you can ask nowadays. We live in a crazy, internet loving world where people can hide behind their computers and an imaginary screen name. That's why it is so important to have a tool like a background check, because the light gets turned on and we can really see people for who they are and what they have lurking in their past. This is an invaluable tool to use when you kids start a new school year. If the school doesn't do their job, you can do it for them and find out who that person is who is with your child for 8 hours a day.
Be aware that there are scams online even when it comes to running a background check. Some of the databases are insufficient or outdated. But there are a few really good companies that are inexpensive, thorough and accurate. Read reviews or go on a site that you trust and use the companies that are suggested. The background check starts as low as $10 per name. But probably the best way to go is to purchase unlimited checks for a full year. Then you can find out about your neighbors and anyone else who is part of your life and you are questioning. It is worth it just for the peace of mind. What is a background check, I'm sure, can now be answered by you.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The city of Charleston has been added to a lawsuit stemming from the construction of the most expensive municipal building in Charleston.
Local media outlets report that Skanska-Trident, which built the Gaillard Center, is seeking at least $20 million in damages from the defendants in including city, three architectural companies and a project management company.
The suit alleges the defendants caused delays and drove up the cost of the project.
The building had a total price tag of $142 million and was to have been finished last April but opened six months behind schedule.
The center replaces the old Gaillard Municipal Auditorium and is a venue for concerts and other performances and will be used for Spoleto Festival USA events.
A city attorney says the lawsuit has no merit.

New Orleans Rhythm Kings
The New Orleans Rhythm Kings were one of the hottest jazz bands of the early 1920s, and a strong influence on many later musicians, including Bix Beiderbecke, Muggsy Spanier, Mezz Mezzrow, and Benny Goodman. Best known for their 1923 integrated recording session with Jelly Roll Morton, the NORK's smooth, swinging style signaled a departure from the raucous novelty sound of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and its imitators. Another hallmark of the band was its emphasis on solo performances, while traditional New Orleans jazz was still heavily dependent on ensemble playing. The solos of Leon Roppolo on clarinet and George Brunies on trombone are still considered classic, and have often been copied on other bands' recordings.Read more

Sparse crowd hears Dylan play it his way
Bob Dylan may be one of the most influential musicians of all time. But he's no Justin Bieber.
At least, not in terms of live audience demand in Milwaukee. Bieber sold out the BMO Harris Bradley Center in less than an hour. For Dylan on Thursday, the arena was mostly empty, with the 400 sections curtained off and entire rows of seats in the 200s without a single occupant. I've never seen the arena so empty for a concert. »Read Full Article(22)

Artist: A Wilhelm Scream
Album: Mute Print
Genre: Rock
Take this record. Start with self-mockery.
A master work of toilet tissue, but the words are sexy.
To a happy corpse; washed up, I am already.
I went from a romantic dream to a wet spot on the sheets.
Give it one last try til the next one more last try.
I'm not renting this planet. It's all mine.
I could not compete with my old body.
I pushed it too hard. It fell apart on me.
We are alone, with the tranquil.
We are alone. And it offsets fear for the nights.
You're upset? Don't believe your eyes.
This mute print lies.

Over the course of the deathly still night, Matteo was executed painlessly. And now... May he rest in peace forevermore.
Oh midnight dance of silver and steel, show no mercy to he who lies beneath your blade. Strike without hesitation, and let the crimson dye the solemn moon in the clear night skies. A facade of calm breaks down into fear and desperation, soon melting into the seemingly emotionless bliss of death. Like the winds he came and now he is gone, leaving behind only the still corpse of Eoin Byrne.
The next day soon rolls in, and everyone is on edge at the discovery of Eoin Byrne's body. Mariette especially, who came to discover the body close to her doorstep. The citizens now desperately try to piece together just who the true killer may be from the remaining list of suspects.
But where was everyone last night? Montiel confronts the suspects once more...
"I was closing up my shop and cleaning up the herbs that were no longer fresh," Dima told Montiel, "Afterwards, I went home to eat dinner with my family."
Vasu piped, "I-I was attending prayer in the temple... After that, I went straight home and went to bed."
"What? Me? ugh... My head..." Casper groaned, "I was out, having a hell of a great time at the bar.. Checking out sexy over there." He gazed over at Miela with raised brows and a leacherous grin.
Miela couldn't help but flush, "W-what?... How improper, Mr. Albertsen...! Even now you are still...!"
Jozefo scratched the back of his head, "I went to bed at nine or so last night.. I'm a fishermen, so I have to wake up bright and early for the daily catch!"
"As for me, I was out of town," Volker stated calmly, "I had to get some oxen and other livestock for my butchershop. My family's farm is on the outskirts of town."
Mariette spoke last, "And I also went to sleep early... I had to wake up early this morning to tend to the fields on the outskirts of town, close to that farm."
Alibis set forth on the table, here is the list of actions from the prior night:
Dima was busy closing up shop and spending time with her family afterwards
Vasu Iyer was attending a late night prayer at one of the temples in town
Casper had been at the bar until late last night, and walked home at around 1am
Jozefo was asleep early last night, having went out earlier today to fish for catch to sell on the market
Miela was working as a hostess at the bar which Casper had attended
Volker was out of town, getting some livestock from his family farm to sell on the market in the morning
And Mariette also slept early to work out in the fields on the outskirts of town
So, who will be executed tonight?

This is the BEST! I made it using only 1/2 the dill because I was afraid it would be too much. (Personal taste) I added some Hormel Real Bacon Bits to make it into Bacon Ranch and it tasted even better than my favorite that costs about $4.00 a jar. This will be my fav from now on. No more store-bought second best for me! Thanks a bunch Barbara.
wonderful!!! My family thinks this tastes better than the real stuff. Great dry mixed with butter and poured over popcorn!!!
I have tried different recipes for 'Ranch' mix, but this one is definetly the best. Instead of using mayo and buttermilk, I used 2 cups of sour cream for the dip. For the dressing I use 1 c. sour cream and 1 c. buttermilk. Good recipe!

Tracking the spending from the $787 billion economic stimulus package is proving difficult because of shortcomings in the available data, the chairman of the stimulus act oversight board said today.
"I am concerned about data quality," said Earl Devaney, chairman of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. "The federal government's systems have never been fully successful at producing timely and reliable data."
Congress created the oversight board to monitor spending and help prevent fraud under the economic stimulus law. The board is responsible for developing the Recovery.gov Web site to collect data from federal, state and local agencies to show how the money is being spent.
The board will hold its first meeting next week. Meanwhile, the Office of Management and Budget has been operating Recovery.gov, which is receiving about 4,000 hits from the public every second, Devaney said.
The board will begin assessing additional data requirements and tools for funding recipients when OMB turns over control of the Web site in 45 days, he added.
The board wants Recovery.gov to present data that is as comprehensive as possible and user-friendly.
"We are trying to strike a balance," Devaney said. "It should be complicated enough to see where the money went but simple enough so that Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Ohio will want to visit the Web site again." Recovery.gov should be attractive and easy to access rather than designed for accountants, he added.
"Recovery.gov is not currently a usable database," said Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), the committee's chairman. "I fully recognize the difficulties in this task, but this funding needs uniform standards for all reporting of information."

Hack the Pentagon proved to Defense Department officials that outside hackers can be assets, not adversaries.
Government cybersecurity officials say the presidential policy directive codifies cyber incident response protocols but doesn't radically change what's been in practice in recent years.
The government's departing top acquisition official said she leaves behind a solid foundation on which to build more effective and efficient federal IT.
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
Since 1987, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
Its funny peoples always have the answer to everything but never the answer we need.
I wish the oversight committe well and good luck. The 787 million won't buy the type of laxative or strong enough to unclug the constipation from which government (mgmt) mentality suffers. After practicing automated solutions by buying software that can mask a problem and producing mountains of unregulated data at each opportunity, the measures and methods for data governance ARE NOT THERE! How can you expect to correct an old wrong by applying quick solutions? You better get enough fuel to burn the money you are getting. I know what it takes, I'm there but for 40+ years you have been deft to my calling. Burn in hell!
a student im accounting 101 could put together better info than this. Absolutley disgusting as are most of our government's attempts

UNESCO row: 'Tomb of Rachel is a mosque'
UNESCO, the world culture and heritage organisation, has classified the ancient Tomb of Rachel, south of Jerusalem, as a mosque as well as a holy Jewish site.
The small building on the outskirts of Bethlehem has been identified for many centuries as the tomb of the Matriarch Rachel who, according to the Torah, died there while giving birth to Benjamin.
The shrine, still a site of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of Jews every year, remained under Israeli control as part of the Oslo Accords. There was no argument over this identification until a few years ago when the Palestinians began claiming that the building was the Bilal Ibn-Rabah Mosque.
The new classification by Unesco came after Muslim members of the organisation attacked the Israeli government's decision in March to add Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of The Patriarchs in Hebron, both outside the pre-1967 borders, to a new list of national heritage sites.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted angrily to the decision, saying: "It is unfortunate that an organisation that was established with the goal of promoting the cultural preservation of historical sites around the world is attempting, for political reasons, to uproot the connection between Israel and its cultural heritage."

April 2015
Zip lining was terrific and the staff were so well trainings and knowledgable, but also a lot of fun. Our volcano tour was ruined a little by poor weather, but our guide did her utmost to make sure we got to enjoy ourselves and see the most possible on a miserable afternoon.
August 2014
This tour was amazing!
July 2014
Best tour ever! I was terrified of the zipline part but the guides were so fantastic and comforting that I overcame my fear of heights along with flying through the air! We saw the volcano at sunset which was beautiful. All the meals were very good.
June 2014
The zipline guides were FABULOUS! They kept us laughing and made the tour much more fun! The landscape was beautiful and I loved that the zipline stopped us automatically. This was my first time on the zipline and I'll do it again because of these wonderful guides!!!
The guide for the Volcanoe tour was wonderful too. She was very knowledgable and you can tell she loves this island. My husband asks lots of questions and she was very relaxed and didn't rush us at all. The weather was very foggy at the end but no one can control the weather! I would highly recommend both activities!!
June 2014
A long day but totally worth it
June 2014
The crew was about safety. You really get to focus on ziplining and the site that you travel over. You can take pictures and videos and not worry about anything else. The crew here is very entertaining and makes the time fun. I would highly recommend this adventure.
December 2013
Great experience
December 2013
This was definitely one of the best tours we booked through Viator on our two-week, two island vacation in the islands. This tour was two parts: zip line adventure in a scenic part of the island near Hilo; a visit to Volcanoes National Park in the afternoon and evening to view Kilauea, a lava tube, and the informative Visitors Center during daylight; and, Kilauea at night to see the gaseous glow of the live volcano.
Rob and Keahau, our tour guides, picked us up at our hotel near Kona at precisely the time we were told. They had snacks, gave us rest breaks, and narrated anything you could ask on the way to the Hilo side of the island.
We experienced our first zip line adventure on an eight-line course, the longest line being one half mile. The scenery was beautiful. The zip line was an adrenaline rush. Tiare, Matt, and Cory, the zip line staff, were excellent at assuring we were safe and had a lot of fun.
The tour provided lunch and dinner. We even had time to visit Rainbow Falls and an orchid farm on the way to the park. If we are on the island again in the future, we will do this again. And, Viator does a great job.

- 1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend
- 2 -4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste
- 1⁄2 cup crushed pineapple (if you prefer a sweeter slaw use the whole can)
- 1⁄3 cup dry roasted peanuts, very rough chop (more if you like)
- In a bowl whisk together the brown sugar, mayonnaise, lime juice and chili paste.
- Stir in the pineapple and broccoli slaw.
- Allow to chill at least an hour for the flavors to blend.
- Top with dry roasted peanuts and enjoy.

My daughter and I LOVED this! I used an 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple (well-drained), only two tablespoons mayo, brown sugar, the lime juice, but improvised on the chili paste! After driving to two grocery stores, I gave up on finding the Sambal Oelek, so I substituted one tablespoon Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce, and added 1/2 tablespoon Sriracha! Most likely the slaw would be at least 6+ stars with the correct ingredients! Made for Spring Photo Tag.
Loved this salad! I had to substitute schriacha for the sambal so only used half the amount. It was so spicy I had was teary, but gee whiz this salad is good. It's a great combination of sweet, crunchy, and spicy. Next time I may try the sweet chili sauce so more of my family can enjoy it too, but there will be a next time. I also appreciated the use of low fat, low sugar products. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
So tasty! I made just as directed except I didn't have peanuts so subbed toasted pistachios. Thanks for posting.

Just as the new Agent Provocateur boutique opens at Saks' Fifth Avenue location, they've also unleashed a powerful new fragrance — Fatale. This scent is not for the wallflower types. Fatale is a potion for embracing your sexiest, fiercest, most powerful you. On second thought, if you're looking to add a little "bad girl" to your personality, it my be just the thing. Inspired by retro glamour, the Agent Provocateur Fatale woman is described as "liquid desire – a potent formula for seduction", among other things. Seriously though, who doesn't want to be that woman? Fatale's powerful edge also extends to it's striking, faceted bottle design and AP's choice to have Spanish Actress and dancer, Monica Cruz, head up their tough, yet soft, campaign imagery.
Quite the departure from previous Agent Provocateur fragrances, Fatale's fragrance profile takes you on quite the ride. Starting out a bit Dorris Day, then a little Marilyn Monroe, then landing in Bettie Paige territory. Don't take Fatale at first sniff. A visit to the Saks counter is in order to truly experience this journey.
This is one of the more unique fragrance concoctions that I've tried recently. Topped with Madagascar pink pepper, Succulent Mango Nectar, and Exotic Blackcurrant, the fragrance's heart opens up to Velvet Gardenia, Royal Orris Absolute, Indonesian Patchouli. This blend is then anchored by Sultry Skin Musk, Vanilla Orchid Aphrodisiac, Chocolate Gourmand Addiction, and Spanish Labdanum.
Interesting fact: Spanish Labdanum has been used for centuries to treat severe depression in women and to help them regain their power.
