About the Program
The delivery of affordable, effective healthcare is as prominent as it has ever been on the national stage. Beyond the politics, however, lies a simple truth: solutions for this complex challenge require an integrated approach that draws from all sectors of the healthcare field. This includes the medical and provider community and associated insurance and regulatory organizations, as well as experts from the realms of business and economics, information technology, and systems engineering.
Lehigh's Professional Master's (M. Eng.) degree program in Healthcare Systems Engineering (HSE) is designed to provide innovative thinkers with the skills and perspective required to lead health and healthcare organizations in improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
Every student will graduate with a broad understanding of the healthcare industry along with the ability to plan, manage and lead projects. Graduates of the program will possess the technical skills necessary to analyze healthcare systems, identify inefficiencies and propose solutions or new processes to improve the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare. Having an employee with such skills in invaluable to any healthcare organization.

BSC Gamma Beta Phi Chapter Hosts State Convention
The Bluefield State College chapter of Gamma Beta Phi Honor and Service Society hosted the 1997 West Virginia State Convention at the Mercer County 4-H Camp, September 26-28. BSC President Dr. Robert Moore welcomed delegates to the convention. All of the West Virginia chapters of Gamma Beta Phi--Bluefield State College, Concord College, Salem-Teikyo University, and Marshall University--attended the meeting. BSC's Greenbrier Community College Center was also chartered as the fifth West Virginia chapter during the weekend's activities. BSC and Marshall received "Distinguished Chapter" awards and BSC won the scrapbook competition, advancing to the national convention competition in Nashville early next year. Betty Knighton, West Virginia Humanities Council Project Director, conducted a workshop to prepare attendees to present programs on the society's state project for 1997-98, the "National Issues Forum." Several national officers, including BSC's J.D. Carpenter (National President-Elect), Southeastern Louisiana University's Jackie Dale Thomas (National Vice President), student national officers Eric Seiss (Virginia Tech) and Susan Bassal (East Tennessee State University), and alumni representative Lisa Carpenter (Concord College). State officers elected at the meeting included President Traci Jewell (Marshall), Vice President Michelle Donaldson (Marshall), Secretary Lena Bender (Concord), Treasurer Kara Brown (Greenbrier Community College Center of BSC), Historian Debra Williby (BSC), Parliamentarian Matthew Wolfe (Concord), and Advisor Patty Carman (Marshall). The Gamma Beta Phi Society is a national collegiate honor and service and organization with 87 active chapters in 13 states, and more than 40,000 members, nationally.

Roger and Debbie Egleston are far from home, waiting to get an organ transplant, when someone took something from them, instead.
"No one likes to be lied to and no likes a thief. We just can't believe it happened to us," said Roger.
"We've been through a lot," said Debbie, reminiscing on their upcoming 23rd wedding anniversary.
"I need a lung so I can continue my life," said Roger. "If I don't get a lung, this disease will get me."
The Oklahoma couple was airlifted to Madison months ago and is left to wait for the organ that will keep Roger alive. A round of chemo couldn't keep his 1997 leukemia diagnosis from coming back. A bone marrow transplant worked and the cancer was removed, but his lungs continue to be attacked by a stem cell donor's immune system, leaving a lung transplant as his only option.
Roger is always on oxygen and the two are also on a budget. So, the couple said what happened March 2 sent them spiraling even deeper.
"It was that fast, just boom," described Debbie.
Madison police said two thieves stole Debbie's wallet from her purse in the cart as she was shopping at a Goodwill shopping in Madison.
The thieves charged thousands of dollars to a credit card, and, a month later, they still haven't been caught.
"We're not asking for monetary compensation. We're not asking for mercy. We're asking for someone to step up and ID these folks so they can be arrested," said Roger. "We just can't believe it happened to us, certainly not under these circumstances."
Police said the thieves stole another Goodwill shopper's wallet that same March day, spending about $2,000 at a nearby Target.
People can call in anonymous tips to 608-266-6014 and there's a cash reward if people have information that leads to an arrest.

The restoration of the Chapel of Nicholas V has magnificently recovered the exceptional beauty of the frescoes and gives us the opportunity to understand and appreciate the great genius of one of Christianity's finest painters, Fra Angelico. It is thanks to the generosity and vision of Mrs. Florence D'Urso, the Homeland Foundation and the New York Patrons that this important restoration has been made possible.
The chapel has been restored by world-renowned restorer, Carlo Giantomassi, his wife, Donatella Zari, and their assistants. The restoration involved the cleaning of all the frescoes. A major challenge was the restoration of the original blue color, which had been lost due to previous restorations. Subtle movements of the walls throughout the centuries had also created cracks that were refilled in the past. These had to be controlled to insure that they were not causing damage to the frescoes. Fire damage and vandalism are evident in some areas and remain as a testimony to the sack of Rome in 1527 by the mercenaries of Charles V.

Skier: Drew Stoecklein

Location: Dry Fork near Alta
Photographer Adam Barker and skier Drew Stoecklein had to wake up very early to get this image in the Alta backcountry last January. "Dry Fork's easterly aspect receives primo early light as the sun is cresting the horizon," says Barker. "But you only have one shot. If you're two minutes late, you'll have to come back another morning." They were on top of the line as the first rays lanced across the drainage, and with Stoecklein's perfect turn down the virgin face, the duo had a day's work done before most people had hit snooze.

DS will be 1 in less than 2 weeks, and I just wanted to say thank you for the support the boards have given! I honestly didn't post much, but so many of the issues I had were answered in others' posts, so I didn't have to post myself. The advice that I got (directly and indirectly) was so helpful, and it allowed us to reach our goal.
I'm a runner, and I try to approach each race with 3 goals - 1 is to simply finish, 2 is to run the time I've trained for, and 3 is that super duper, everything goes perfectly goal. I did that for labor and bf'ing as well. My 1st goal was just to attempt bf'ing, really try but not to beat myself up if it didn't work. My next goal was 6 months, and my super duper goal was 12 months+. Luckily, I didn't have any major issues - a few questions and concerns, but my supply has been great and I have supportive people around (not to brag, but I know some people have had a difficult time, and I know mine has been very easy).
In those first weeks, I thought I'd never make it to 6 weeks, much less 6 months. Then it got easier (like everyone said it would). I didn't love it, but it wasn't horrible. I certainly didn't enjoy it like some people claim. 6 months came and went, and it was still going really well. Through teething, a (very small) dip in supply and stretching my expressed milk to the limit(I went and bought formula one day that I was working and didn't think I had enough expressed, but we didn't have to use the formula), we've made it to a few weeks before his 1st bday. Since I still have a few bottles worth of milk in the freezer, and with him eating solids and drinking cow's milk (with the pedi's blessing) for a few months now, as well as my limited working schedule, I can also stop pumping! That is the main thing I'm excited about. Because although I DID turn into one of those women who actually enjoy bf'ing now () , and will continue to do so, I do sincerely hate pumping and am so glad to be done.
I'm just hoping someone who may be frustrated or having issues or, like me, wasn't really having major problems but didn't love bf'ing, might read this and know that it can get better/easier/even enjoyable.

Intro_v01_Mindy-Weiss21 of 16
In the Shade2 of 16
One of the biggest trends in hair color and fashion has permeated the world of floral design. "People are loving ombre," says Weiss, who says pinks and purples are the most popular tones for the gradient look. "I just did a whole wedding where we started off with the palest, almost watercolor lavender to the deepest purple."
Something Old3 of 16
Antique tabletop decor adds an air of aged elegance to an affair. "Vintage dishes and glasses of all different colors make for great conversation," says Weiss, who predicts that the trend will only grow. "It's not just for the wedding world," she adds. "For Jessica Simpson's baby shower, I decorated with 50 different dinnerware patterns that we found at flea markets."
Home Sweet Home4 of 16
Those on the West Coast, says Weiss, are opting for a more relaxed feel for their weddings, as opposed to the traditional trappings. "The goal for most of my brides is that it feels comfortable and warm," says Weiss. "Things that remind people of home, like the dishes and textiles, usually provide a big bang for your buck."
Fit for a Queen5 of 16
"I find that my New York clients seem to prefer more of a refined simplicity and lean toward a modern regency style," says Weiss of decorating with more lush fabrics, dramatic lighting, and gilded furnishings.
Set the Bar6 of 16
"There is always a big conflict on the bill and on the budget when it comes to alcohol," says Weiss, who refuses to allow clients to do a cash bar during cocktail hour. Instead, she says limit the bar to one or two signature cocktails using one specific spirit, like Skinnygirl Cucumber Vodka.
Glow On7 of 16
While candlelight is romantic, it may not be enough to make your venue truly glow. "Lighting is an expense that people want to cut, but if you don't light your space, then you can't see all the work you've put into it," says Weiss. Chocolate-colored lighting is her trick to making wedding receptions magical. "It makes everyone look amazing in pictures."
Hey, Ms. DJ8 of 16
Music is the number one concern for most grooms, aside from the food, so if a 10-piece band is out of the budget, then DJs are a close second. "There are fabulous DJs now that are classy enough to do a wedding," says Weiss, who cautions that club DJs are not always wedding-appropriate, especially if announcements need to be made.
In Full Bloom9 of 16
Small, delicate florals have long been the aisle decor of choice, but Weiss sees a shift toward more sizable accents, like hydrangeas and large herbs. "With the aisle, I'm doing big, huge potted plants," says Weiss. "Not only can the client take it home, which is an unusual thing, but we can also bring it into the reception."
A Step Ahead10 of 16
While brides may take inspiration from Pinterest or other bridal sites, Weiss says most are trying to stand out. "We're doing hand-painted runners with monograms and ones that look like you're walking on stepping-stones," says Weiss. "But the most popular thing is a reclaimed wood aisle, where we actually put down wood where they walk."
Garden Variety11 of 16
One of the most frequent requests that Weiss receives from clients is to make their wedding "organic and garden-y," she says. A large part of that is incorporating eco-friendly materials. "Reclaimed wood is huge in interior design and now weddings," says Weiss. "The tables, the floors, the serving pieces, anywhere I can get it, like the backing of bars or pictures frames."
Petal Power12 of 16
While the use of wedding programs has waned, Weiss says they can be more than just a forgotten nicety. "One program we did was actually a two-fer," says Weiss. "We did a program, and inside we had a pocket filled with rose petals," she explains. "Guests could strewn them on the bride and groom on the way back down the aisle."
For the Birds13 of 16
A staple in the '80s, tossing birdseed is a wedding no-no these days. "Anything that could get in the bride's hair and make her cranky, don't do," says Weiss. Instead, give guests sparklers to hold as the couple walks exists. Another fun summer option is handing out pom-poms. "The tassels and ribbon flags are wonderful because people love the picture."
Let's Eat!14 of 16
Canapés and toast points continue to take a back seat to down-home options like mini grilled cheese sandwiches. "The reality is that guests really love pigs in a blanket," says Weiss. Just expect for them to look even better. "Peter Callahan has upped the bar by getting these hors d'oeuvres to really be a piece of art."
Purple Reign15 of 16
All-white weddings are not as "in" as they used to be. One of the most popular color combinations is a blend of purple and lavender, says Weiss. Layering shades from lilac to aubergine in the table linens, glassware, lighting and florals creates a romantic and warm space without it feeling overly girly. "There's so much of it for the summer; you can't go wrong," says Weiss.
Bright Ideas16 of 16
"People are feeling bold and bringing in plenty of color," says Weiss. "We did tons of tangerine and turquoise in the beginning of the year," she says, inspired by Pantone's color of the year, Tangerine Tango. For fall? "It's very jewel-toned with lots of burgundy with red and burnt orange."

- Title
- Temperature of a trapped unitary Fermi gas at finite entropy
- Author(s)
- Hu, Hui; Liu, Xia-Ji; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- We present theoretical predictions for the equation of state of a harmonically trapped Fermi gas in the unitary limit. Our calculations compare Monte Carlo results with the equation of state of a uniform gas using three distinct perturbation schemes. We show that in experiments the temperature can be usefully calibrated by making use of the entropy, which is invariant during an adiabatic conversion into the weakly interacting limit of molecular BEC. We predict the entropy dependence of the equation of state.

5 Better Ways You Could Be Spending Black Friday
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- If you managed to savor every forkful of Thanksgiving dessert, stick around the folks' place to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens and avoid Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and just about every other store open that night, congratulations. If you managed to maintain your resolve today, you're part of a growing retail resistance movement.
Fewer than 140 million shoppers say they plan to elbow their way to deals this Black Friday weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. That's down from 147 million last year and 152 million two years ago. In fact, a full 86 million people answered with an outright "no" when asked if they planned to go shopping on Thanksgiving weekend. It's not that the rest of the country is opposed to shopping early: It just doesn't want to shop with everybody else.
A survey by Google indicated that 30% of holiday shoppers planned to hit stores before Halloween. By mid-November, the National Retail Federation found that 54% of the shoppers it surveyed had already begun working their way through holiday wish lists.
Besides, it's not as if there aren't several other fabricated retail holidays -- including Cyber Monday, Green Monday and Free Shipping Day -- to pick through. There are deals to be had on those days that won't put you in the middle of crowded store aisles, overpacked fast-casual strip mall restaurants or parking lots that distinctly resemble a carnival bumper car ride. Besides, the people around you aren't even getting the best deals.
When you take a look past the doorbusters and online sales, there are a whole lot of more practical ways to spend your time and money on Thanksgiving weekend. Here are just five: ���

Siddhartha, written by Hermann Hesse in 1920 deals with a man's lifelong search for self discovery during the time of Buddha. He grows up the son of a Brahman, and his quest for self discovery takes him through living as an asthetic until he actually meets the Buddha, but decides not to follow him, but rather discover the joys of sex and a wealth through a beautiful courtesan. He lives the life of the Playboy until one day he renounces it all to seek a more spiritual being. In the end Siddhartha does find enlightenment.

Lynn Good, Duke Energy president and chief executive officer, downplayed her company's interest in the Florida gubernatorial race.
Thursday, in response to question by a financial analyst as to what happens if Charlie Crist makes a comeback, Good acknowledged it was a difficult question.

The club meets on Thursdays at noon in the community room of Haven Hospice in Chiefland.
David Rauch, Rotary International 6940 district governor, likes to introduce himself as a member of the only Rotary Club named for a bridge.
And they may define his year in office as he travels to visit all 51 clubs in the 19 counties that make up the district. The Chiefland Rotary Club visit on Aug. 6 was his 19th since taking office.
A third-generation Rotarian, Rauch is a member of the Mid-Bay Club in Niceville. His father is a member of the Destin Rotary club and holds the record for 44 years of perfect attendance.
There's a bigger pool of people in the labor force in Citrus, Marion and Levy counties and there are more people employed, but that could not prevent the unemployment rate from peaking in July according to figure released by the region's career agency.
CareerSource reported Friday that the three-county regional jobless rate was 7.8 percent in July, up 0.5 percent from June. That rate is down 1.0 percent over the year and 2.6 percentage points lower than two years ago.
There were 15,845 people unemployed out of a labor force that has grown to 202,968.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reports there were no findings of safety significance from a quarterly inspection of activities at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant, known as CR-3.
The announced inspection was conducted in June and covered a range of activities and procedures.
The process consisted of observations by NRC inspectors, interviews with Duke Energy personnel, reviews of procedures and records and walking through the plant.
The Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce is making plans for the 2014 Annual Industry Appreciation Banquet. Each year at this banquet, the Chiefland Chamber, along with the community, honors an outstanding local business.
Nominations for the greater Chiefland Area's Outstanding Business of the Year are now open. The deadline to receive nominations is Friday, Aug. 1. If you would like to nominate an outstanding local business, please contact the Chamber at 352-493-1849 for details.
TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation on Tuesday ordered insurance companies to terminate a 1.3 percent assessment on most property insurance policies that has been used to pay off past hurricane claims.
The assessment will be eliminated on policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2015 — 18 months ahead of schedule, due to an early payoff of the bonds used to pay the claims.
Chiefland Rotary Club President Stewart Wasson, left, commends Rod Hastings, director of the Levy County Recycling Program, on providing the club with useful information on the program and how they can participate.
Hastings, son of club member Bob Hastings, also brought along newspapers from 30 years ago when the program started that had some "youthful" photos of various members.
The Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce will hold its monthly members' meeting and lunch on Friday, July 25, noon to 1 p.m. in the Haven Hospice meeting room, 311 N.E. 9th Street in Chiefland.

We should definitely be in talks with GS. That isn't a bad trade but rather trade:
Nate and Jeffries or Chandler for Randolph and Moore or Watson (both expiring contracts).
Chandler's stock maybe getting higher now than what it was in the beginning of the season. I just dont trust his instincts, handle, and play down the stretch.

Toyota 11/18/12
Go to buy a new car and you want one that stays out of the repair shop. You've got a good chance with Toyota. Consumer Reports says it's the most reliable carmaker out there. The findings are based on subscribers' experience with more than a million vehicles. "Toyota's three brands, Scion, Toyota, and Lexus, finished first, second, and third for reliability." Those three automakers were followed by Mazda, Subaru, Honda, and Acura - all Japanese brands. Ford's reliability, in sharp contrast, dropped way down this year. Rik Paul "Just two years ago, more than 90 percent of Fords were average or better for reliability. But in the last couple of years, they've released some new or redesigned models that have had more problems than normal." These models include the Explorer, the Fiesta, and the Focus. Also problematic: Ford's relatively new electronic infotainment system. Rik Paul "General Motors did better in our latest rankings. Cadillac was the top U.S. brand, and its CTS coupe was the most reliable domestic car." The most reliable car of all is the Toyota Prius C. In fact, all the Priuses have above-average reliability. Rik Paul "When the Toyota Prius was released 12 years ago, there was a lot of skepticism about how well it would hold up. But we're finding that most hybrids and electric vehicles are proving very reliable." ."

Embree breaks a bone at home
7/10/09 Braves vs Rockies Game 2
Today Hunter and I went to the game with Andy (from spring training) and his son Hazen. This was Hazen's first batting practice and we were all excited for him.
The line for BP was huge as they were giving away Brad Hawpe T-Shirts.
They usually fit me until the third wash or so.
When we hit the pavilion I headed to my usual spot and within a few minutes Chris Iannetta hit the first BP homer and I tracked it perfectly and made a beautiful catch.
It felt good to catch that ball. I then focused my attention over to Andy, Hazen and Hunter.
I was watching a ball that was hit over by Robert's area and he snagged it off the bounce. Robert turned around and gave that ball to Hazen.
Here is the poor video of it:
That would be one of two baseballs Robert gave to Hazen. Robert…. Andy told me to say thanks for doing that for his boy.
Andy and Hunter were shutout for BP. Hunter told me it was because he was helping Hazen get his🙂
Me, I had one more opportunity for a toss up.
Spilly and Seth Smith had been goofing around in left field and were tossing up a bunch of baseballs to random people.
Normally I don't raise my glove for toss-ups but they were having fun so I figured what the hell.
Here is video of Seth Smith tossing up a ball:
When Spilly finally tossed one to my area I took a few steps to my right and was positioned perfect for the catch.
I looked behind me real quick (something I do now thanks to BP blockers), and noticed I was positioned in front of a dad and his son who were in the row behind me.
I had a flash of guilt, and backed off leaving the catch for the dad so he could be a hero in front of his son. He bobbled it and somebody else snapped it up.
In hindsight I should have just caught the damn thing and gave it to his kid.
Here's Dexter Fowler at batting practice with Baylor checking things out.
After BP we walked around and watched Ubaldo Jimenez warming up.
Here is Todd Helton hang outside of the dugout watching the game.
I was hoping to get a few pictures of Chipper Jones.
Here is a shot of Prado.
Prado is the dude responsible for ending Alan Embree's season with one lucky swing.
That sucks, I hope Embree heals and can continue next season. He was doing pretty good for the Rockies lately and that's a sheety way for a players season to end.
Here are some random pictures.
The Rockies fans argued this call but McLouth was safe.
I think it's cool that this dude can still do this job. These guys are tough. I got thirsty and my back hurt just watching him lug that thing around.
The elusive Jeff Francis, hang'n with Spilly. He looks ready, when will we see him on the mound?
Barmes at bat.
One more shot of the gang today.
Dexter Fowler
Todd Helton
We debated waiting around after the the rain delay was called but Andy and I had worked that day and I was exhausted. So we bailed and in the end didn't miss much other than Embree taking a line drive to the leg and ending his season.
Rockies lose this one to the Braves 4-1.
I hate losing to the Braves at home…D

Tough loss. Looks like you guys had lots of fun though. Great pics. I think that stadium is just amazing and am hoping to make a trip there someday. Maybe I'll wait for Rays/Rockies interleague, which should be next year.
Why the mullet pic? I'm creeped out now.
Nice post.
RAYSFANBOY-Mullets are a piece of our history and need to be pointed out, especially the good ones. Read back a few months worth of entries, you'll understand then…D
You are a great photographer. Keep on posting, You are gonna be moving up the mlblogs top 100 before you know it. Please check my blog out.
Hey D,
What a win today! Props to our All Star Brad Hawpe for showing us why he's an All Star.
Glad you got your camera back. Really missed the awesome pictures you get every game.
Thanks for the history lesson. I'll start growing mine today!
Great win for you guys today. Hawpe had quite a day. And Tulo is really turning things around after last season. I think every team would like to have **** like that!
Hey D, perhaps you should show raysfan the Crack of the Game. Then perhaps the mullet will not seem quite as creepish to him. Heehee. 😀
Looks like a great day for Rox baseball despite the crappy loss. Awesome win today, though! On to the ASG!
BALORIOLES-Thanks for the props brotha. I've held the # 6 spot around here for a good while now. Your blog is cool, keep it up.
R-LUV-WOW, Hawpe showed us all why he's a Super All-Star. I damn near had his autograph yesterday(Sunday).
RAYSFANBOY-I don't advise growing a Mullet. Although it is a piece of history, I never said it was a cool piece of history. Remember when reading the Rant there is always a joke here, sometimes you just have to find it.
LUVMYROX-Coors Field Crack of the game…Ah priceless. Home run derby tonight…Should be fun.
I'll have Sundays blog entry up late this afternoon. I have some cool video of the special thing that happened to Mylee…D
Go Rockies…I'm loving this
Hey thanks Rockpile Ranter, You are such a great blogger. Hey I got some Cal Ripken JR trivia for you so come check it out. If you get it right you get to go under Ripken's Trivia winners on the side of my blog. It is mostly to see who is the biggest O's fan. ahha
Thanks for saving my follicles from an unfortunate mishap.
When are we going to get the home run derby up to you in home run country so we can see some serious slugging? I have no idea where the AS Game is going next. I would imagine that Coors would be on the list.
How's it going Mountain brother.
I understand the wanting to make the dad look like a hero, but there is a 50 percent change it turns ugly.
I usually just grab the ball and find a kid afterwards.
Guess Raysfanboy forgot who we played in mid-June.
Still feel like crap missing out on that FREE pizza day in Lakewood for Rays fan.
Hopefully Francis might be back by September to help staple a run that the flag.
Rays Renegade
Oops. Guess I was trying to forget losing 2/3 to the Rocks. Thanks for pointing that out, though, RR.
I'm still wondering if MLB will get the AS Game to one of the better venues in baseball. That place is just beautiful.

Dordt College News
Eric Forseth named Dordt College provost
May 21, 2013
Dordt College has named Dr. Eric Forseth its new provost.
As provost, Forseth will serve as the chief academic officer of the college and will offer guidance, encouragement, and accountability to faculty and academic staff. He will also make faculty and program recommendations to the president; co-lead, with the Senate chair, in setting the agenda for the Academic Senate; and lead the accreditation efforts of the college.
"Eric is a person who will lead by creating the organizational and interpersonal conditions for others, including students, faculty, and all team members, to grow and develop," said Hoekstra. "It comes from his faith in Jesus Christ. Eric sees himself as a servant leader called by God to help people reach their potential. Eric will also build bridges within the college and among groups and organizations in our supporting communities to advance the mission of Dordt College."
Forseth fills a position that was temporarily held by three administrators at the college after Hoekstra, the former provost, became president of Dordt College a year ago.
With a teaching background in Christian higher education, proven leadership skills, and a commitment to a Reformed, biblical perspective, Forseth is uniquely equipped for the position.
"Dr. Forseth has demonstrated the ability to walk alongside and lead the faculty, motivating them to develop their teaching and scholarship to the fullest," said Pam Schmidt, chair of the Provost Search Team and member of the Board of Trustees. "Our committee was also struck by Dr. Forseth's humility and emphasis on servant leadership.
"Forseth, formerly of Nampa Christian Schools, has more than 25 years of experience in higher education including working as superintendent/CEO, vice president, director, and department chair in various institutions. He held positions at Northwest Nazarene University and Mount Vernon Nazarene University. He has chaired several committees, including the Nampa Christian School Board of Directors and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities Chief Enrollment Officers Commission.
Forseth earned his B.A. from Northwest Nazarene University, his M.S. from University of Arizona, and a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. He did additional postdoctoral studies at Harvard University. He and his wife Kim have two grown children and an infant granddaughter.

i dont know what u was watching to even ask dat, the TOs were low, both randolph and curry were a force when they were both on da court, it all came down to guarding the 3 point shot and FT shooting
I know this was the Knicks first game of the regular season and alot of members tuned in while watching the game giving some great input each quarter. But after sleeping on what you seen in the Knicks vs Cavs with Lebron James scoring 45 points, and taking charge in the 4th qtr. for the conclusion of a Cavs WIN.
What are all the things you notice in that game the Knicks need to improve in for the WIN?
When PG-Gibson hit his consecutive 3-point shot and the Cavs took a 8 or 9 point lead (and Isiah did not call a time out), did you give the WIN to the Cavs at that moment? or when the Cavs came back down and score again?
Did the Knicks show at anytime during the game that they were the better team in scoring, rebounding, defending, and co-existing together vs the Cavs?
Was Curry & Zach more dominating than Lebron James?
Was Marbury more dominating than Gibson?
Was Crawford & Jones more dominating than Hughes?
I know this was the first game of the Knicks regular season however, did the Knicks show any kind of playbook strategy-plan that says you got this one but the next time things will be alot different.
The Raptors tore a new hole in the Nets last night, and the 76ers put it on the Bulls in every qtr. last night, plus the Atlanta Hawks came down out the air so fast and scooped themselves up an upsetting WIN over the Mavs last night.
We all know that the Nets, Bulls, and Mavs have the capability and strategy plan to pay back these teams the next time they play them, but do the Knicks have the same capability to do the same???
i dont know what u was watching to even ask dat, the TOs were low, both randolph and curry were a force when they were both on da court, it all came down to guarding the 3 point shot and FT shooting
Datruth speaks the truth. What game were you watching Kiyaman? The Cavs came out with a much better effort against us last night then they did their first game. If we could've held Lebron to under 30 or hit a few more free throws this game would've been in the Knicks W collum instead of the L colum. Curry and Zack played fine together. Nate the Great was just that and he was one of the main reasons it didn't turn into a blowout last night. We will be just fine as long as we BLOWOUT the wolves at home like we should!!!
I know to a lot of people the reason the Knicks lost the Cavs game was poor free throw shooting and poor three-point defense in the fourth quarter.
However, to me the key was Balkman getting three quick fouls.
This forced the Knicks to double on LeBron in the fourth quarter because QRich was understandably worn down by the fourth, leaving Daniel Gibson wide open at the wrong time.
That said, why did Isiah not bring Balkman back in in the fourth? Sitting on the bench is better than fouling out? OK, so maybe putting him on LeBron did not work, but you could have put him or Mardy Collins on Gibson after the second of four straight three-pointers.
And what about Mardy Collins? He is a better lock-down defender in the fourth than any other Knick guard. And where was Eddy Curry in the fourth? It seemed to me that he was playing better defense inside last night than I ever saw last year, and the Knicks were struggling at the offensive end early in the fourth quarter, especially inside.
We played better then Cleveland if not for the King!!! Boobie could of hit five more threes if Lebron didn't have that chip on his shoulder!! Wow he is dominant !! Marbury might not of played too good I think he was too anxious but wow how easily he was getting to the hoop!! Missing though!!
But Zack and Curry for a first game together looked really scary if you ask me!! Reminds me of Larry Johnson & Mourning when they played for Charlotte!! We killed the post last night!! And once Mr Sterns goon refs start giving some Shaq like respect to Curry ( no calls last night) even as a 60% FT shooter he would have 5 to 6 more points a game!! He was getting butchered last night!!
Cant say enough about little Nate!!! He does it like he loves doing it!! That smile says it all!! Strong dude too!! Mad props for the energy and love of he game not to mention your 19 last night!!
Marty got no run??? What is up with that??
Isiah I happen to be one of the few who Loves what you have done for us!!
And I agree there is a difference if A black man calls a women........... Sorry thtats a different discussion!! .... Why not let Marty run the point a little more!! It's obvious he can run the offense and Defend!! Crawford wants to shoot , Stephon likes to shoot !! Collins plays ball!! Good eye on talent yet again Isiah!! Marbury's 20 mil makes it hard but It's still a smart move!!
Marbury will be fine but Collins needs at minimum 20 minutes a game!!
Balkman You OK???? Lebron came after you!! Someone must of told him you can hold him!! I know next time you gonna shut him down!! I seen what you can do!!
All in all we must give our team love cause we came to play! Sad we lost but again we played ball!!
Other losses last night!!
Dallas losses to Atlanta!!
Suns losses to Lakers!!
Nets demolished by Raptors!!
We will be fine!!!
statistically we were either as good or better than the cavs in the major categoies (FG%, 3FG%, rebounding, off reboundsing, assists, steals, turnovers, blocks were close i think). the biggest disparity was in FTs - both attempts and made, as well as the double teaming leading to wide open shots. as i said in the other thread when it comes to getting calls superstars like bron and kobe are always gonna get them and we arent (See curry). i think if our team d improves and we work on working the ball inside and out better well be fine. crawford had a very good game as did nate. marbury and curry i think were the weak points. curry should be able to dominate Z and he got mixed up in some double teams and either forced bad shots or had sloppy passes.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
i agree they looked awful in the 4th on both ends for the most part but are you completely ignoring the other 3 quarters when nate and crawford were hitting shots and randolph was wetting jumpers all day and noone could stop him?
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
As awful as you guys THINK they looked, if they would have played good perimeter D and stopped Just one of those three point shots from going down, and Curry would have hit just one friggin free throw, the knicks win the game, as simple as that. ever facet of the game was decent, they still need improvement but it was a decent performance that they should have and could have won if they would have done what i mentioned above.
4th quarter is what counts the most. YOu can be up by 20pts, and if you blow it in the 4th, it's a terrible game.
4th quarter is crunch time. It's the time when good teams close out. Bad teams fold. Everything that happend before the 4th doesn't matter. If you can't do it when the pressure is on, then you had a bad game.
So which did the Knicks do? When the other team made their run, did the knicks come back on the other end? Next time down court did they step up their D? No they folded, they looked terrible in the 4th. You won't win many games this year, if they play like that in the 4th, when a team makes a run and not have an answer on either end? just run a couple confused plays on offense, and forget to cover the Hot shooter, I mean the guy was so open, it was ridiculous, the ball was at the rim before a knick defender was even in arms reach of him. They Lost to a cavs team, that didn't even play that well. Except when the knicks folded. The knicks looked bad, when the pressure was on. If you can't play underpressure in the NBA, you aren't going to win and you will look bad.
I'd be singing a different tune, if the Knicks put up a fight, if someone had their hand in gibsons face when he hit his second, third and forth 3pter of the quarter. If he hits them with a hand in his face, there wasn't much a defender can do. I'd take that, and say the knicks looked good. If they hit some free throws the cavs handed to them to get back into the game or if they at least had a decent offensive set during the cavs run, between zach randolph fumbling to score or pass out of the double, a couple times, jamaal crawfords solo effort that resulted in an awkward runner that was terribly off. It was just aweful to watch. There was no flow, a lot of nerves.
The cavs turned it around, they stepped up, then almost faltered, and closed it out.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
are you serious? im not arging with you that the 4th quarter is the most important one and shows what teams are made of, but if we hadnt played well in the first 3 quarters we woulda been down 20 the whole game. obviously we blew it, and it was mainly a few minute stretch, but 25% of the game does not equal 100% extrapolation of a team's strengths and weaknesses. If that was the case NBA games would only be 12 min long. were trying to discuss how players performed throughout the whole game and obviously the team as a whole laid a big egg in the 4th but it would be disingenuous to only look at the 4th as representative of our team's ability and potential to play this season.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
Curry had a bad showlder he was struggling with his fould shots if you looked at his face after every shot it looked a lit painfull
Zach i dont knwo how a guy with such a sweat jump shot could miss free throws like that its crazy.
Marbury missing he just should be ashamd of himself and the way he let his man open after he just made back to back 3's is rediculous.
Balkman should have came back in to guard lebron so that we didnt have to double him. we should have let lebron score his points those 3's are what killed us lebron wasnt that great yest. If he made more foul shots it would have been just as back

The utility companies that provide electricity to Sullivan County have been busy repairing downed power lines and issuing press releases chronicling their progress. By the morning of November 5, NYSEG reported that there were about 4,800 costumers without power in Sullivan County, down from a high of 24,000. Orange and Rockland reported 1,900 customers in the county were still without power, down from a high of more than 6,500.
The county also suffered numerous incidents of phone service interruptions, cable television outages and Internet service cuts. Also, at the height of the storm, there were 200 roads closed in the county. As numerous repair crews were still working on all of the various problems throughout the county, Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and Sullivan County Legislative Chair Scott Samuelson issued an open letter to the heads of all of the electricity, phone, cable and internet providers in the county calling for a roundtable discussion about how cooperation among the various entities might go better in the future.
Part of the letter said, "We understand that a storm of this magnitude poses significant challenges to utility companies. The men and women on the ground, who worked long hours under challenging conditions, are not at issue. However, the response to the storm and flow of information to elected officials, emergency management personnel and the public was, to say the least, flawed.
"This storm did not catch any of you by surprise. The utility companies serving Sullivan County were not appropriately prepared to respond. Requests for information were met, in some circumstances, with hostility and, frequently, the information provided was vague."
A response from Clayton Ellis, manager of corporate communications from NYSEG said, "We began preparing for Hurricane Sandy days in advance of the storm—and we were prepared to respond. We are continuing to bring resources on board to assist with the massive restoration effort and the outage counts are continuing to decline. Each and every day since the storm hit, causing unprecedented damage to our electricity delivery system, we have worked closely with local and state officials to address critical situations. We have already discussed a follow-up meeting with Assemblywoman Gunther, and we will gladly participate in a roundtable discussion once this emergency is behind us."
Limits on gas sales
The gas shortage in New York City, its suburbs and in New Jersey had an impact that was felt in Sullivan County. County manager Daivd Fanslau on November 2 issued a state of emergency that included a "prohibition of purchasing gasoline or diesel fuel at retail locations in any quantity greater than that which would fill the vehicle, with the exception of a small container necessary to fuel a generator or similar machine, as well as an exception for Sullivan County agricultural industry support."
There was concern about customers who were filling huge tanks in the backs of pickup trucks with the intention of selling the gas downstate, where supplies were temporarily interrupted because of the hurricane. Fanslau said there was concern that price gouging would occur. He also wanted to ensure that sufficient fuel supplies would be available for public works and public safety vehicles and for local residents. The state of emergency, including the prohibition regarding large sales of gas, was lifted on November 5.
Impact on polling places
This statement came from county manager David Fanslau: "The commissioners of the Sullivan County Board Office Elections has all 63 election districts and all 39 poll sites set for the general election on Tuesday, November 6. There were two poll site changes necessary to accomplish this. The poll site at Forestburgh Town Hall was moved to the Forestburgh Firehouse, and the poll site has been moved from the Willowemoc Baptist church to the Neversink Firehouse. Both of these changes were due to the lack of power at the original sites caused by Hurricane Sandy."

So you want an affordable car that will stand up to the rigors of the daily drive from the 'burbs to work? Oh, and preferably something that doesn't supersize your carbon footprint in the process?
What's a conscientious commuter to do?
Before you give up and invest in that used Yugo you've been eying in the "bargain rides" section of the classifieds, we're here to help.
These days there are a wide range of "green" vehicles for the Earth-conscious commuter to choose from.
Ranging from completely electric, eco-friendly compact cars to sport utility vehicles and family-friendly sedans able to burn the cleanest fuels, there is a green machine for nearly every situation.
Toyota Highlander hybrid
With a vehicle category highlighted by their dominance over Mother Earth, the SUV crowd is hard pressed to find gas-sipping, energy-conscious, terrain-dominating vehicles.
Despite the total lack of an all-electric SUV or even electric/gas combos, manufacturers are beginning to produce hybrid vehicles able to guzzle more Earth-friendly blends of fuel such as those made of ethanol while still being able to head off-road.
The Toyota Highlander has a hippie cousin that digs the ethanol. At 28 miles per gallon, it won't score many points with the Earth defense crowd, but rest assured with true four-wheel drive it's still able to head off road with its gasoline-powered siblings.
With an MSRP of $38,140 it's pricier than the traditionally powered Highlander, but it's a small price to pay for the hybrid badge gracing an otherwise mud-covered fender.
Toyota Camry hybrid
It would appear that the alternative or hybrid vehicle market mirrors the fashion world where smaller is better.
The vast majority of electric and hybrid vehicles fall into the compact or sub-compact categories, leaving a family of five little to choose from.
The best-selling Toyota Camry is one option the Earth-loving family able to seat five adults.
Though not electric, it is able to get 35 miles per gallon using hybrid fuels. The $21,955 MSRP is a small price to pay to instill energy conservation in the little ones.
You can rest assured you're getting a safe ride for your family, too. Consumer Reports picked the Toyota Camry Hybrid as its top family sedan and it also received the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety's top safety pick for 2012.
Chevrolet Sonic
If you're looking to go small, but don't want to pay for a hybrid, Chevrolet's newly revamped Sonic may be right for you.
The Sonic is General Motor's replacement for the Chevy Aveo, which never quite proved to be a runaway hit. And if you weren't exactly a fan of the Aveo, rest assured, the Sonic got a redesign with a more aggressive grill and a more stylish cockpit.
Available as a sedan starting at $13,865 and a hatchback at $14,765, the Chevy Sonic is a steal. Like most compact cars, the sonic is small. Like a modern clown car, it's exterior belies an impressive amount of interior space.
The "green" aspect of the Sonic is the car's gasoline-powered efficiency. The lightweight, tuned engine is able to achieve an impressive 40 miles per gallon on the highway.

Police told youngsters at the kindergarten-through-fourth-grade school to close their eyes as they were led from the building so that they wouldn't see the blood and broken glass.
Adam Lanza killed his mother at their home and then opened fire inside the elementary school where she taught.
Children cowered in fear to the sound of gunshots reverberating through the building and screams echoing over the intercom.
Police shed no light on the motive for the attack.
Panicked parents looking for their children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, a prosperous New England community of about 27,000 people 60 miles northeast of New York City.
Authorities gave no details on exactly how the attack unfolded.
A custodian ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack
Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building.
Three days before Thanksgiving, investigators released their final report about what happened inside Sandy Hook. It shed no new light on the gunman's motives but dredged up the horrors of that awful December day.
And a little more than a week before the one-year anniversary, the 911 calls made that morning were released.

Pulitzer-Prize Winning Poet Gary Snyder Speaks at Headwaters Conference
Gary Snyder recently spoke at Western, as part of the Headwaters Conference. Before the reading, John Hausdoerffer, the Director of Western's new Master's in Environmental Management and of Headwaters, invited a group to dinner with Snyder -- where I took this photo -- and we had a great time. The man is still utterly vibrant at almost 85, and not only was engaging at dinner but then gave an inspiring reading and talk for over an hour to more than 550 people -- the vast majority of them under 25 -- in Taylor Auditorium. Poetry is alive and well. Thanks, Gary.

Stir It Up: No tricks with these treats
Caramel apples without the mess: A free-form apple tart with caramel sauce is a delicious addition to a Halloween party for kids or grown-ups. The photo is from "Betty Crocker: The Big Book of Pies & Tarts."
There are two Halloweens celebrated in America. One involves small children dressed as princesses and Minions (see: "Despicable Me") playing "Pin the rib on the skeleton" while scarfing Skittles. The other involves adults dressed like French maids or Jesse Pinkman (see: "Breaking Bad") getting silly on spiked punch.
Whatever kind of Halloween you celebrate at your house, you are going to wake up the day after with candy corn ground into your rugs.
Halloween has many foods associated with it. Think of any candy bar and there is likely a "mini" version that will make its way into trick-or-treat bags. There are also candied apples, caramel apples and popcorn. For the apples, we can thank our British ancestors, who celebrated Snap Apple Night in late October with a game involving biting into apples hung on a string.
The jack-o'-lantern — although not eaten — hails from an Irish folk tale about a skinflint named Jack who tricks the devil and is, upon his death, rejected by heaven and even by hell, and forced to walk the earth until Judgment Day with only a single coal burning in a turnip lantern to guide him. Several sources say Irish emigrants to America chucked the turnip part of the story for the much more dramatic pumpkin, and thus a Halloween tradition was born.
But there is no "menu" for Halloween, no traditional set of foods (like turkey and stuffing) that evoke a common memory. In fact, the words "Halloween" and "dinner" don't go together at all. But "Halloween" and "party" do — which is why you had better start cooking.
Whether you've got pint-sized unicorns or adult-sized Lady Gagas at your party, you can plan on pretty much the same menu. Both young and old will appreciate ribs, wings, sliders and the like. Instead of salad with dressing, consider skewering tiny grape tomatoes and small chunks of bell peppers or cucumbers and serving them with a dip. In other words, you are serving cocktail party food, no matter the age of your guests.
You can have fun with spooky names: Meatballs become "eyeballs," ribs become "bones," and there's the ever-popular "deviled egg." (Oh, right — that's what they're actually called.)
Ree Drummond, aka "The Pioneer Woman," has a new book out, "A Year of Holidays," in which she introduces a raft of Halloween foods. There's the Platter of Darkness (black candies, chocolate sandwich cookies, dried cherries, decorated with a gummy rat) and the Cheese Ball of Death (a cheese ball coated in black sesame seeds and topped with a gummy tarantula). She makes Eyeball Cake Balls too, but they look like way too much work.
Dessert at your party, however, can be super easy: brownie bites, cookies or — why not? — mini candy bars. But the Caramel-Apple Crostata (a free-form pie) gets the nod for my favorite Halloween dessert. It's like a caramel apple, but without the mess. It's relatively quick to make and serves as a kind of cool-down course to civilize the party by requiring the use of plates and forks. The recipe comes from "Betty Crocker: The Big Book of Pies & Tarts."
Caramel Apple Crostata
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
6 cups thinly sliced peeled baking apples (about 6 medium)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger (available in the spice aisle, dried fruit part of the produce section, or the Asian aisle of most supermarkets)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/3 to ½ cup caramel topping
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with baking parchment. Unroll pie crust onto parchment.
In a large bowl, toss the apples and lemon juice. Add brown sugar, flour, ginger and cinnamon, and toss again. Mound apple mixture in center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle butter pieces over apples. Fold edge of crust over apples, pleating to fit. Brush crust edge lightly with water; sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Loosely cover top and sides of crostata with foil; bake 20 minutes. Remove foil; bake 9 to 13 minutes longer, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Immediately run spatula or pancake turner under crust to loosen, but let it sit on the cookie sheet to cool, about 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, warm the caramel topping. Cut crostata into wedges and drizzle each wedge with caramel.
