Lt. Gen. Terry Robling, commander for the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific, is preparing for automatic budget cuts mandated by Congress and known as sequestration.
An initial round of cuts worth $85 billion is scheduled to begin March 1, and as much as $1.2 trillion could be slashed from social programs and the military over 10 years if Democrats and Republicans in Congress fail to reach an agreement to end the sequester.
Robling said the initial cut of $85 billion will have a definite impact on 24,000 civilian workers employed under contract by the Marine Corps throughout the Pacific region.
"Here at Kaneohe unfortunately, that will probably entail some furloughs that will account for about 22 days between now and the end of the fiscal year," he said.
As next month's deadline approaches, every branch of the military is expected to be impacted by sequestration, including Hawaii's National Guard.
Hawaii Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Darryll Wong said furloughs would be scheduled in increments through the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30 so as not to cause major disruptions.
"Most commanders here are going to spread it out, so that everything can hopefully continue as best we can," said Wong. "The National Guard is actually organized, trained and equipped using federal funds, so we come under the same guidance."
Wong plans on keeping programs intact that help National Guardsmen and their families deal with the stress of war, as well as extended deployments.
"We're just going to make sure those things are ramped up even more," he said. "It is going to impact us, but I think the more important thing is how we're going to deal with it."
Meanwhile, sequestration may also prove detrimental to programs and nonprofit groups that receive federal dollars through the city. Honolulu Councilman Ikaika Anderson said federal grants awarded to the city reached a high point of $22 million in recent years, and a low point of about $10 million in 2012.
"Our nonprofits who have come to rely on these monies, and have helped government provide services when we're not able to, their programs and their ability to provide these services are definitely going to be impacted," said Anderson. "We just don't know how much yet."
However, some believe sequestration won't usher in the type of doom and gloom that many are predicting. Christopher Preble of the Cato Institute wrote this last July:
"The reductions would only apply to FY 2013 budget authority, not outlays. The Pentagon and Congress will then have greater flexibility starting in FY 2014 to adjust the reductions under the BCA spending caps. In the meantime, many programs could continue on funding already authorized."

DS is 14 months. He poops once a week (sometimes longer) & it's usually dark yellow. He coughs/chokes at every feeding. He does not sleep well at night at all. It takes hours before he'll settle down. He is extremely gassy, & used to spit up a lot up until a few weeks ago.
I strongly suspect I have an OS issue, but we are not exhibiting the usual signs: green poo, leaking breasts, spraying after letdown. My letdown is painful, however, feels very, very strong, but I don't spray unless the areola is squeezed.
I do block feed, but it doesn't seem to be making a significant difference. Reclining does sometimes help.
Does my situation sound like oversupply? Or could this be an allergy, perhaps? I don't consume much dairy, particularly lately since I am trying to rule this out. I used to drink 1 cup of coffee in the early morning, but I gave this up, too, yesterday & still had problems last night.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Star Power1 of 15
For ELLE's January cover, racks of fabulous clothes and accessories were provided for Sarah Jessica Parker, but it was the Halston dresses that provided much of the inspiration for the shoot. Considering the actress's role as President and Chief Creative Officer at Halston and Halston Heritage, it was a perfect fit.
Star Power2 of 15
SJP explained how seriously she takes her role at Halston: "I said, 'Please know this now: I will never do this for a title. I will never dip in and out of this. I'll do it like everything else I've ever done. I'll be involved down to the splitting of the atom.'"
Star Power3 of 15
She also revealed a bit about her design skills: "I might not have the language; I can't always tell you the exact blend of a fabric, but I figure it out."
Star Power4 of 15
When asked about meeting her recently adopted twins after their birth, she had this to say: "[Meeting them] is hard to describe. Everything is suspended. I can't even tell you what other sounds were in the room. I loved them immediately, but everything — their size, the shape of their heads, the color of their hair, their noses, their eyes — was new to me."
Star Power5 of 15
On a topic very relevant to the over-40 beauty, she had this to say about aging naturally: "I don't know what I can do about the aging. Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?"

Hello Ladies,
At the recommendation of our Pediatrician, we started introducing solids at 6 months. We are using the Baby Led Weaning method and have offered only finger foods (Apple, pear, banana, sweet potato, carrot, etc). It has been 3 weeks and he has taken to it so well that he is now eating quite a bit. I only offer once a day after nursing, but he will eat (as an example) a slice of pear, slice of avocado, and slice of sweet potato. I have noticed that the last few days at the sitters, he has been taking less breast milk than usual from the bottle. He still nurses the same amount when I am home, but of course I cannot tell how much milk he is actually getting. He used to eat about 1.5 ounces an hour at the sitters (in 3-4 oz bottles). So if I worked 8 hours, he would eat 10-12 ounces. The last week, as his solid food intake is increasing and he is actually getting more in his mouth and swallowing it, he has been decreasing his intake of breast milk. The last day I worked he ate 8 ounces in 9 hours, and tonight, he only ate about 6-7 ounces in 9 hours. He nursed right before he went, and right when I got home, but it is still a decrease from his pre-solid food amount. I am nervous that he is not nursing as much because of the solids, but I am not sure I can cut out the solids because he genuinely seems interested in eating with us at the table and he gets really upset if I do not give him food. I always nurse before, and he usually wants to nurse soon after. I am just nervous that my supply will either decrease, or he will wean too soon and I know that he should really be getting mostly breast milk for at least the first year. Any thoughts? Should I just go with the flow since he is genuinely enjoying himself and seems very keen to try food? What have your experiences been, and what do you think I should do, if anything?
Thanks in advance!

A Texas woman quits her job as an auditor with an epic, expletive-laden email that includes hashtags slamming her former colleagues.
"Glory," a name she adopted to protect her identity, sent the message when she announced she was quitting her job as associate auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers effective Nov. 11.
It starts normally, but soon flies out the business-appropriate window.
"Auditing is a job for people who truly don't have any other options and don't know what else they could be doing. You work day in and day out pulling useless documentation and filling out useless workpapers that won't really benefit anybody. All of it is BS!"
She goes on to say auditors are often "fake" and calls the field a "useless, meaningless career" before getting personal.
"You hate yourself and your job, let's be honest."
"Your cat doesn't care about you so stop caring about it. Stories about your nasty cat are unbearable. Seriously, I can't even deal."
To end the diatribe, "Glory" lists 10 reasons why Beyoncé is better than Britney Spears.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (June 28, 2011) - Thelma B. Thompson's steady-hand stewardship of UMES over the past nine years has drawn praise from the University System of Maryland's governing board.
The USM Board of Regents described Thompson's leadership of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore as "exemplary" in a June 17 resolution.
Thompson, UMES' 13th president and the second woman to hold the post, announced in mid-March she will retire Aug. 15.
She was present to accept the resolution when it received the unanimous endorsement of the panel responsible for oversight of 11 of Maryland's public four-year institutions.
During her tenure, UMES enrollment grew by 25 percent and the university convinced key state policymakers to support the addition of 14 new degree programs -- including a doctorate in pharmacy.
Thompson traveled widely to promote UMES, attending conferences and establishing international agreements and exchange programs with several African nations.
Early on, she set a goal for academic departments to pursue peer-review accreditation and saw 24 degree programs achieve that credential -- including the School of Business and Technology just days after she announced her retirement.
That focus on academic quality has earned UMES recognition from peers as one of the nation's upper-tier historically black institutions in an annual U.S. News & World Report survey, an accomplishment that regents noted in their resolution.
Thompson also took a lead role in a seven-year fund-raising campaign that began in 2004 with a $14 million goal, a figure the university exceeded by nearly $1 million.
The USM regents' resolution is among a number of public accolades bestowed recently on Thompson:
Thompson says she plans to complete a novel she started many years ago and has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the classroom as a professor.
A native of Jamaica, she received all three of her degrees from Howard University in Washington, D.C., from which she graduated with honors.
Dr. Thelma B. Thompson
University of Maryland Eastern Shore
WHEREAS, Dr. Thelma Thompson served as President of University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) from July 1, 2002 to August 15, 2011, during which time UMES grew both physically and intellectually, enhancing opportunities for students while also strengthening the region's and the state's economy; and
WHEREAS, during Dr. Thompson's tenure, UMES gained national recognition for its wide array of programs, including engineering and aviation science, construction management technology, hotel and restaurant management, professional golf management, and its new doctoral program in pharmacy; and
WHEREAS, in keeping with UMES's long-standing commitment to service, Dr. Thompson built upon the institution's reputation for not simply being in the community, but rather part of the community; and
WHEREAS, under Dr. Thompson's leadership and intense focus on academic quality and integrity, UMES has consistently earned U.S. News & World Report's ranking as one of the country's best historically black institutions; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Thompson has effectively carried out the duties and responsibilities conferred upon her by the Board of Regents in such a manner that her contributions will make a difference for years to come,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland gratefully acknowledges Dr. Thelma Thompson's outstanding contributions to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, the University System of Maryland and to the entire State of Maryland; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Board of Regents extends its best wishes for success in all her future endeavors, and its sincere gratitude for her dedicated service.

Recent Meetings
Coordinating Committee on Africa (CCAFRICA) concluded its 20th session on February 1 in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The Committee discussed the following:
- Processed Cheese: The Committee clarified that safety concerns in processed cheese could be addressed through the relevant Codex horizontal standards. The Committee encouraged member countries to respond to the Circular Letter CL 2012/24 CAC to identify any gaps in the quality and safety provisions of Codex texts which would apply to processed cheese. If significant gaps where identified within the region, the Committee would review the need for a regional standard.
- Proposal for a Spice Committee: The Committee, after reviewing a presentation from the delegation of India, noted its support for the creation of a Codex Committee for Spices. However, several delegations expressed concern at the lack of funds to attend additional Codex meetings and asked that consideration should be given to co-hosting the Spice Committee on the African continent. The committee noted Nigeria's offer to co-host the Committee with India.
- Nomination of the Coordinator: The Delegation of Cote d'Ivoire, supported by many other delegations, proposed to nominate Cameroon as Coordinator for a second term. After some discussion on the needs of the region with regards to communication, representation at meetings, and elevating the profile of Codex in the region, the Committee elected Cameroon for a second term.
Task Force on Animal Feeding (TFAF) concluded its 7th Session in Bern, Switzerland, on February 8. The TFAF recommended two documents for adoption by the Codex Alimentarius Commission at Step 5/8 at its next session in July 2013: Draft Guidelines for the Application of Risk Assessment for Feed and Proposed Draft Guidance for Use by Governments in Prioritizing National Feed Hazards. These two documents complete the work authorized by the Commission in the terms of reference that re-activated the Task Force in 2011.A more detailed report by the U.S. Delegate to the Task Force will be published soon at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/international-affairs/us-codex-alimentarius/recent-delegation-reports

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Dec. 7
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Hiring still remains a challenge among small and mid-size companies. The CBIZ (CBZ) Small Business Employment Index , a monthly barometer of hiring trends for more than 3,500 companies with 300 or fewer employees, rose by 0.82% in November, an improvement considering the 0.89% drop in October.
With a less than 1% change, "this month's Small Business Employment Index further verifies that small businesses are still holding back hiring, despite some brighter news economically," says Philip Noftsinger, business unit president for CBIZ Payroll Services.
Of the companies surveyed, 26% increased staffing while 20% decreased employee headcounts, the survey found.
The Automatic Data Processing November's jobs survey revealed this week that the private sector added 118,000 jobs, exceeding analysts' estimates in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, but falling short of October's revised tally of 157,000 added jobs.
2. How to make your company more like Apple. Research has found that at least half of U.S. households own at least one Apple (APPL) product, meaning there are more than 55 million homes with at least one iPhone, iPad, iPod or Mac computer. So what has Apple done to make their products appealing to so many demographics and how can you replicate that success?
Tech guru Daniel Burrus writes on LinkedIn that the tech giant has implemented several strategies.
First, the company has a long-term plan. "Think back to the 1970s and 1980s. What market did Apple concentrate on? Schools. They made sure their product was a prominent part of education. They knew that the more you get kids used to using Apple products, the more likely they are as adults to keep buying them. That's why today we have adults who grew up in the '70s and '80s who are huge Apple fans. Having a long-term strategy makes sense if you plan on being around for the long term," Burrus writes.
However, Apple does not and never has competed on price. Instead, it has focused on its "reputation, image, service, quality, design, time and speed of delivery, value, experience, innovation, knowledge, and loyalty," Burrus adds.
Finally, contrary to popular belief, Apple didn't ask customers what they wanted. Rather, the company focused on foresight.
"So rather than ask your customers, 'What would you want?', ask yourself, 'Are there tools, products or services we could provide that would give our customers what they would love to do, even though they didn't ask for it, because they didn't know it was possible?' Then you'll have success, Burrus writes.
3. SBA approves more than $150 million in disaster loans to Hurricane Sandy survivors. A month after Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast, the U.S. Small Business Administration has approved more than $150 million in low-interest disaster loans to about 2,500 homeowners, renters and businesses in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Seeing is Believing
Late night patrols are oftentimes the most challenging part of the job for law enforcement agents and security guards. Dimly lit areas are breeding grounds for criminal activity. In the past, if you caught someone doing something illegal in the glint of your flashlight, they would flee the scene, leaving you with nothing to work off of in detaining them. Now, with the Flashlight Security Camera, if you catch anything suspicious, you have a permanent record of the event.
With four powerful LED lights, this flashlight camera can handle even the darkest spaces. And, with six hours of battery life on a single charge, this device is ideal for any patrol length.
Many Ways to View
Recording your video to an SD card (sold separately) means you have a permanent record of anything you record. Use this video or any still shots you capture as evidence in a court of law.
The flashlight camera's built-in 1.5" LCD screen also allows you to view your video or snapshots on the go, so you won't need to get back to a computer to see everything you've recorded.

Building owners urged to try energy program
- published_in
- Today's News
In exchange, building owners will receive free assistance from an independent energy coach who will help collect energy use data and rate their buildings' energy performance using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager, a national standard energy rating tool developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Portfolio Manager can help compare a building's energy use to similar buildings nationwide and provide a rating that can serve as a starting point for understanding whole building energy performance and identifying energy-efficiency upgrades that could save money.
To participate in the pilot program, contact Elizabeth Vasatka, the city's business sustainability coordinator, at 303-441-1964 by Friday, Nov. 23. For more information about the city's commercial energy efficiency strategy, visit www.bouldercolorado.gov/lead.

I have a 15 week old who I partially bf and formula feed. She is growing and is healthy. When I'm at work I pump milk with medela PIS every 3 hrs and nurse at home. About wednesday or thursday my left breast started hurting when pumping; I figured it was just chaffing or something. It kept happening so I examined it alittle better and found what looked like a deep pimple on my areola just beside the nipple. Called the LC Friday and she says it sounds like a plugged duct. So I've been using heat and massaging it as often as possible. I moved pumpings up to 2.5 hrs at work. LC said if it doesn't clear in 4-5 days I need to see my OB and get antibiotic in case of infection and mastitis. Today I was pumping and it hurt way too much so I tried pumping one side and hand expressing the injured one...I don't really have the hang of it yet, so instead of saving all that milk I just let it collect in a towel. Well, I was trying to smash this hard lump under where that white head was and puss came out of the pore on the areola. Just milk comes out of the nipple, but when I push hard on the lump that is suspected to be a plugged duct a greenish-yellow pus comes out. The lump is still there but it IS smaller after I nurse or pump milk.
So is this what a plugged duct looks like? If pus is there then I suspect there is definatly infection of some sort. But I thought stuff would come out the nipple and not the side if it was a duct problem. Anyone have experience with this? I have an appt to see my OB on tuesday anyways, so if it's not fixed by then I'll just spring it on her at that time.
Thanks again!

- Abstract
- The Las Campanas Observatory and Anglo-Australian Telescope Rich Cluster Survey (LARCS) is a panoramic imaging and spectroscopic survey of an X-ray luminosity-selected sample of 21 clusters of galaxies at inline image. Charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging was obtained in B and R of typically 2° wide regions centred on the 21 clusters, and the galaxy sample selected from the imaging is being used for an on-going spectroscopic survey of the clusters with the 2dF spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This paper presents the reduction of the imaging data and the photometric analysis used in the survey. Based on an overlapping area of 12.3 deg2 we compare the CCD-based LARCS catalogue with the photographic-based galaxy catalogue used for the input to the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) from the APM, to the completeness of the GRS/APM catalogue, inline image. This comparison confirms the reliability of the photometry across our mosaics and between the clusters in our survey. This comparison also provides useful information concerning the properties of the GRS/APM. The stellar contamination in the GRS/APM galaxy catalogue is confirmed as around inline image per cent, as originally estimated. However, using the superior sensitivity and spatial resolution in the LARCS survey evidence is found for four distinct populations of galaxies that are systematically omitted from the GRS/APM catalogue. The characteristics of the 'missing' galaxy populations are described, reasons for their absence examined and the impact they will have on the conclusions drawn from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey are discussed.

#5 Stank Eye
15 comments:
This is so true! My husband (Chinese) told me the other day that I too have this look! Ah~

OMG, korean mil's stink eye is the worst! It was so bad, my poor sil (who is korean) cried her eyes out after meeting my mil for the first time. She said she had never met anyone so mean looking before she met our mil.

While she never made the comparison, my gf believes that the only person who could give a more intense stank eye (or as I like to think of it - The 1,000 Yard Stare) than my mother is the little midget she learned martial arts from in Chelsea. Then again, he was both physically and emotionally stunted (as well as Japanese), so I guess he was screwed up. Oh yeah - he learned from a Korean in Japan who took a Japanese name. Fun, eh?

The key to overcoming your opponent when fear is being used as a weapon is to imagine them as helpless creatures. If it worked for Bobby Bouchet, (and DON'T pretend that you don't like The Waterboy), it can work for you.
To overcome the power of the maternal stank eye, picture your mom picking her nose in church, or picture her trying to let out a ninja fart (silent but deadly) but a loud, cheek-rippling, ass trumpet blast comes out. She ain't so tough now, eh?

My sisters and I actually enjoyed watching this dramatic act and we would sometimes (repeat: sometimes NOT all the time) do something bad on purpose (this wasn't too hard to do) to watch her re-enact this masterpiece.
We would sometimes act this piece out to each other to get the "can't-breath-wheezing-braying-tears-rolling-down-the-face-sides-hurting-rolling-on-the-floor-cuz-laughing-so-hard-can't-stand-laughter out of each other when one of us is feeling blue. good times, good times.

My wife Myung-suk is Korean. She has a very mean stank eye look when we argue. I started holding a mirrir next to my face when we argue so she can see how mean she looks. It reminds her of her Mother's stank eye, and we end up laughing.

Oh, man, just looking at that kid is reviving my PTSD.
And I had successfully repressed that hissing noise.... It's like strolling along through the sunny woods and then there's this murderous SNARL from about two feet away, and you know you are about to have your head ripped off by a crazed grizzly. And then it will spit the head out contemptuously and tell you to get up and help it with the laundry; for once.

Foreign students will face new checks at borders
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ordered new security checks for all foreign students entering the United States, according to officials familiar with instructions issued Friday to customs inspectors.
The new check was added after the authorities discovered that a foreign friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, had left the United States and returned in January using a student visa that should have been canceled because he was no longer enrolled at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
The friend, Azamat Tazhayakov, is one of two students from Kazakhstan who were arrested Wednesday, charged with obstructing justice and accused of covering up evidence of Tsarnaevs role in the bombings.
Aside from standard verification of their travel documents, arriving students now will also be checked through a database known as the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, officials said. The system contains information on schools with foreign students and on the students enrollment status.
According to Homeland Security Department officials, Tazhayakov left the United States in December and returned Jan. 20, presenting a student visa with an expiration date of Aug. 30 of this year and a letter of enrollment from the University of Massachusetts.
However, officials later learned that the university had reported to the department that Tazhayakovs enrollment had ended Jan. 4.
Students generally are allowed a 30-day grace period to re-establish enrollment before they are required to leave, the officials said. But the leeway applies only to students remaining in the country; those who fail to maintain enrollment are not allowed to leave and re-enter.
Although his visa had not expired, officials said, Tazhayakov should not have been allowed to return.
A lapse occurred because Customs and Border Protection inspectors did not have the latest information on Tazhayakov, officials said. The new entry checks, which were first reported by The Associated Press, would give airport customs officers the most recent information about students visa and enrollment status.
The Homeland Security Department has been working to improve the student checks system, officials said.
They said when Tazhayakov passed customs, their databases contained no information that he posed a national security threat.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Until that day George West junior Matthew Peck will continue to work with his two pigs, Betty and Shelly, to make sure they are the best looking pigs they can be.
That don't mean just looking good; the two pigs have to weigh a certain amount too. Just to be accepted into the show the pigs must each weigh between 225 and 280 pounds.
But getting a pig to that point doesn't come easy.
Peck, who has been raising pigs since he was a freshman, said both his pigs are cross breeds of Hampshire and Yorkshire. He got the pigs back in November and has been working with them almost daily since then.
The months before the fair his life revolves around the pigs.
Peck and his family live in Dinero, while his pigs live at the animal barn at school, so planning is a priority when it comes to their care.
Peck makes time both before and after school to check on the animals.
The pigs have to be fed, walked and washed daily.
"The most difficult part is cleaning out the water," Peck said.
The pigs tend to make a mess around the water bowl and often there are large puddles of mud that have to be braved to get to the water bowl.
Additionally Peck has to wash the pigs when it is hot.
"They don't have sweat glands and they have to be cooled down," he said.
And when it is cold outside he has to make sure and put extra shavings in their sleeping house so that the animals stay warm.
Walking them is another important component that Peck does daily. Using the pig stick on the side of their head gets them used to keeping the head up. The animals need to be used to walking in general, so on the day of the show the pigs will not be running around like crazy.
He explained that teaching the pig to hold her head up when she walks makes the body of the animal look better to the judges.
Walking and bathing the pigs is not enough; there is also feeding the animals that seems more about science than a chore.
The pigs are fed their normal food but powdered fat has to be mixed in to ensure that the animals weigh enough to make the 225-pound weight requirement; but if the pigs get to close to the 280 cutoff weight, then food will be rationed and water intake greatly reduced.
Once the pig is weighed in a couple days before the show, it is smooth sailing for the animal. She can eat and drink whatever she wants because her weight has already been recorded and she has been segregated into one of the eight classes.
Peck said one of the pigs is the right weight and will make it into the show while the other pig is still a little light and needs to gain some more weight before the official weigh-in.
Peck said a lot of weight will be taken off or added just by controlling the water intake of the pigs. He said they like to drink lots of water.
Once the pigs actually make it in to the show they will still have to compete against more than 100 other pigs for the coveted title of grand champion and reserve champion swine.
Getting the pigs into the show is important because then Peck will have the ability the sell of one the animals and recoup the money he invested in them.
Peck's mom said the purchase and care of the two pigs runs about $1,800 a year. His family paid for the pigs his first year and since then he has used his earnings from the sale to buy his pigs and supplies needed to participate the next year.
When you ask Peck about the process and pig care now, he says it is tiring and is ready for it to end, but he might change his tune by the time the fair gets close next year.
Peck is not the only George West student to raise animals. Many others raise not just pigs, but also heifers, steers, rabbits, chickens, goats and lambs.

Service-Learning Initiatives Shine Bright Light on Fisher in 2010
Community service is an integral part of life at St. John Fisher College. Service-learning and community service initiatives at Fisher have gained a lot of momentum during the last couple of years, and 2010 was no exception. Not only did students embrace service-learning classes offered, but they were passionate about the work they were doing and the organizations in the community they worked with. Here is a look back at this year's successes, and a preview of efforts to come.
Supporting After-School Programs
Fisher has partnered with the American Red Cross Next Generation Leadership Program for the past nine years through the Service Scholar, First Generation Scholar, and Community-Based Service-Learning (CBSL) programs. The goal of this after-school program is to "assist urban youth in becoming actively engaged in the improvement of their futures, neighborhoods and communities." Through providing support to teens in grades 9-12 on diversity, conflict resolution, and college options, Fisher students are assisting teens to withstand societal challenges and complete high school. Rochester's high poverty rate has the greatest impact on youth: two out of every five city youth below the age of 18 are in poverty. The graduation rate in the Rochester City School District is 46%.
Since 2002, the First Generation Scholars have served as mentors for the teens as part of the mentor component of their program. This year, 13 volunteered for a total of 156 hours. Since 2006, the Service Scholars have assisted with program planning and assessment. And a total of 11 Scholars volunteered for a total of 662 hours over the past year. Prior positive experiences with Fisher students opened the door for service-learning in Social Change through Service, taught by Dr. Lynn Donahue. This fall, two service-learning students from Social Change through Service completed 60 hours debriefing each session and leading a College Choice workshop for parents and teens. Jill Brown and Liz Castellano led this fall's College Choice Workshop, focusing on educating teens about the application process, financial options, and succeeding in college. Laurie Valentino from Career Services and Anne Pytlak from Admissions were guest speakers and engaged the students on options they may not have considered.
Assessment results revealed that during the past four years, all high school seniors participating in the leadership program have either gone on to college or employment. The First Generation and Service Scholars have made a positive impact by sharing information on the college preparation process, post-graduation opportunities, and school success. Benefits to Fisher students include enhanced valuing of service-learning and a desire to engage with the community post-programs. Service-learning taught students how to support the needs of teens, build capacity with non-profits, and gain a better understanding of Rochester social justice issues. According to a participating student, this experience "helped me learn how to accept and value differences and others' communication patterns."
Additional partnerships have formed around CBSL courses in this area. Students in Diversity in American Society and American Cultural Institutions provided tutoring at the Early College High School program, Center for Youth GED Program, and Rochester After-School Academy at East High. And students from Child and Adolescent Psychology provided tutoring and after-school enrichment to children at School #3.
Neighborhood Revitalization
To encourage neighborhood revitalization of the City's Southeast quadrant, Fisher has partnered with NeighborWorks Rochester. The mission of this agency is to "assist families into homeownership and help ensure their long-term success as homeowners." This past year, six students from Multivariate Advanced Statistics and seven from Survey Design and Analysis, both taught by Dr. Tim Franz, created and administered neighborhood satisfaction surveys for residents, conducted data analysis, and presented their findings to staff. This spring, Industrial & Organizational Psychology will create and administer an in-house survey to complement the strategic planning process of NeighborWorks and assess the training needs of staff. This will be the 4th semester and 3rd course to partner with this agency through CBSL, in keeping with our aim to support Rochester's housing needs through sustainable partnerships.
Through the efforts of our students, NeighborWorks received useful data on homeowner needs for three "healthy block" neighborhoods. This data was used to make improvements to resident properties and increase opportunities for engagement. The data has been used to support community development in the Beechwood neighborhood, part of the Focused Investment Strategy funded by the City of Rochester. The College's community partner indicated that "the community data showed a strong connection between perceptions of the neighborhood, home ownership rates, and resident commitment. These were connections we had suspected but did not have the time to analyze at the level provided by the Fisher students." Because of his positive impact, Dr. Franz has been invited to serve on NeighborWorks' Board of Directors.
This partnership allowed students to apply academic course goals to real world issues, gain the skills needed to work with a client, and learn the value of neighborhood improvement. As stated by one student, "There was a distinct difference between designing a survey for an exam and designing a survey for a real-world situation. There is no simulation that can approximate the challenges of working with external clients and figuring out what they're looking for."
The Democrat & Chronicle even took notice of the College's CBSL initiatives with a feature article that ran in October titled "St. John Fisher Students Assist Retailers." The article highlighted the work of students from Introduction to Marketing and Promotions Management, and their work assisting seven different small businesses on South Avenue with their marketing and promotions needs.
Assisting Women in Transition
CBSL has enabled Fisher students to support the needs of women in transition in the Rochester community. This fall, 12 students from Social Change through Service, taught by Dr. Lynn Donahue, and ten from Diversity in American Society, taught by Dr. Jim Wood, partnered with three non-profits: Bethany House, Catholic Family Center, and Sojourner House. To ensure students had an opportunity to hear the perspectives of the women served by these organizations, and begin the process of forming trusting relationships, they assisted the dining staff during dinner. They even shared a meal, and provided enrichment for the women's children.
To support both the capacity-building and client support needs of these three organizations, students from Diversity in American Society created products of value using knowledge gained through course material and their interactions with the women. For example, students created a resource manual for young mothers, a brochure on goal setting, and financial literacy materials. These materials were showcased at an end-of-the-semester Social Justice Fair, which took place on December 7.
Students from Social Change through Service held a Health and Finance Fair for Sojourner's transitional and supportive housing residents. Twelve students created seven booths educating women on budgeting, financial management, healthy eating, and wellness. To increase participation, students created a Jeopardy game encouraging the women to choose a "truth" or "dare" regarding healthy eating. Self-assessment surveys were taken on money management, and the women learned the essentials of budgeting. Students cooked a nutritious meal and served samples to the women while displaying the caloric differences between a home-cooked meal and a meal purchased at a fast food establishment. Tickets were distributed for participation at the stations and were redeemed for gifts, including scarves and lotion. Thirty-five women and ten children attended.
Students gained a better understanding of diverse populations and cultural communication patterns, the social justice issues impacting women in Rochester, and strategies for supporting the needs of women seeking services at our partner organizations. One student said, "I learned that I could relate with women who seemed much different than me, but in reality weren't." Another stated, "this experience increased my awareness of what is happening in our community."
Fisher's CBSL program is funded by Learn and Serve America. Additional photographs and examples of students' work can be found at the Service-Learning Showcase website at http://fisherservicelearningshowcase.weebly.com/.

Albury: Let's get physicalMay 05,2014
When your car is running well, you dont take it to the garage to have it
looked over for fear that a mechanic will find some sort of unseen repair that needs to be made.I have been feeling good lately, and for the same reason have hesitated to schedule an annual physical exam.God forbid they should find I need a new belt. Or worse yet, that I have a gas leak. Despite these concerns, I decided, at the age of 54, to tempt fate and make an appointment to be sure I am in good health.
When I arrived at the doctors office I was greeted by a receptionist, who said that before being examined I would need to answer a few questions about
my insurance coverage. She asked about group numbers, ID numbers, telephone numbers, prime numbers, and Roman numbers. Then she got down to the hard stuff.
Receptionist: Do you ever put your right foot in?
Me: Yes.
Receptionist: Do you ever put your right foot out?
Me: Yes.
Receptionist: Do you ever put your right foot in and shake it all about?
Once I finished the insurance hokey pokey a nurse showed me into the examination room and asked that I take off my shoes so that she could weigh me.I cracked a few lame jokes about receiving combat pay for dealing with patients sweaty feet and observed how, if she worked at the fair, she could guess my weight. She gave me a look that said she had access to plenty of sharp medical instruments and wasnt afraid to use them.
When it was time to check my height, she had me stand against the wall with my heels to the baseboard.
Five-foot eleven, she said matter-of-factly and wrote on her clipboard.
Thats a mistake, I said.
I worked for over five decades getting to six feet, I wasnt about to let some doctors assistant shrink me.
Five eleven, she repeated.
Let me try again.
Im sorry, she responded. Five foot, eleven inches tall.
But Im six foot tall, I said with a slight trace of desperation in my voice. Maybe my feet werent close enough to the wall. Or my neck was slouching. Im six feet tall.Really.You need to change that.
She looked at me like I asked her to intentionally lie on her tax return.
OK, she said with the tone of a parent whose three-year old told her dragons lived in his closet. Ill just change it. She proceeded to pretend to make a correction on her clipboard.Six foot.
Next, the nurse put the cuff on my arm to take my blood pressure.
Well, thats pretty low, she said.
Is that bad? I asked.
Well, its not good. Let me try something.What do you think about the Affordable Health Care Act? she asked.
My mind went to the 50 minutes I recently spent on the phone with Vermont Health Connect without any resolution, about the concept of a high deductible and co-pay, about coverage tiers, medical loss ratios, balanced billing, network providers. I could feel the blood in my temples starting to pound.
Lets try that again, she said as she pumped air into the cuff.
Much better.Its a little high now, but should get back to normal shortly.
When the doctor came in, we exchanged niceties and then he looked at my chart. He checked my heart, looked in my ears and eyes and down my throat. And then he uttered words you never want to hear from a doctor.
Turn and cough.
But I dont have a cough, I responded.The next thing I knew he directed his attention to a spot not usually associated with the common cold, and I coughed like I had tuberculosis.
If this particular portion of the exam was awkward, the next part was downright disturbing. I wont go into detail except to say it involved rubber gloves and checking a body part that rhymes with bra state. And trust me, this had nothing to do with womens undergarments or where you live.
When it was done I wasnt sure if I had a clean bill of health or a date for Saturday night.
Next, the doctor said that they needed to take some blood.
I quickly looked at the degree on the wall to make sure he had an MD after his name and not the ESQ usually associated with bloodletting.
The nurse approached with a needle.A few minutes later I regained consciousness, with the help of smelling salts, and learned that my cholesterol and blood sugar levels were fine.
Today, I have peace of mind knowing that I am a healthy individual. Unfortunately, I think my car needs new struts.

Sewer help may be coming
With septic and sewage-related complications mounting across Trumbull County, state and local officials want to take action.
They met Friday morning to discuss ways to help low-income residents pay the costs when forced to tie into public sewage lines.
County Commissioner Frank Fuda said local officials are considering a push to secure zero-percent interest loans for residents in need.
"It's really just another means of helping the citizens have means to pay for new systems," Fuda said. "This is something we've wanted to address for a while now."
Also attending the meeting were state Rep. Sean O'Brien and officials from the county Auditor's Office and Sanitary Engineer's Office and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Laws require homes and businesses to tie into sewage lines when they are within 200 feet of the property, but many residents are finding it difficult to pay the often thousands of dollars necessary to connect.
O'Brien, D-Brookfield, noted Trumbull County would be the first county in the state to adopt this loan program.
"I was in Columbus talking to officials from the EPA and I mentioned to them some of the problems we are having in our area with the septic tie-ins and other issues," O'Brien said. "They brought up to me this pilot program they are considering."
According to O'Brien, the money would be provided by the state, passed to the county at 0 percent interest, and, in-turn, county officials would provide funding to residents.
"It is basically money that we would pay back over a 10-year period," O'Brien said.
"A lot of times, with the programs that are passed by the state, it really only benefits Columbus or Cleveland or the other big areas of the state. With this, we are able to address some of the specific problems in Trumbull County," he said.
The loan program would only be used to fund lateral tie-ins with public sewage lines. Private sewage tie-ins, or frontage, would not be applicable.
"When it comes to the private tie-ins, it is up to the courts if the person can't pay," Rex Fee, sanitary engineer, said.
The tentative plan is for the county to start small and work its way up to large loans down the road.
"With every new program, you are going to run into a few problems," O'Brien said. "That is just the way it goes, so we will start with smaller amounts like $50,000 and work our way up. Once the state sees that it works and that we are paying back the money, we hope to get to point where we could borrow $1 million and do a hundred houses all at once."
If the program is adopted, it must be in place by August, according to O'Brien, but his target is to get the loan system up and running by July.
"In the meantime, we want to come up with an individually tailored programs that address our residents' needs," O'Brien said. "We want to have constant communication with the state and the EPA so they know we're serious. We're going to work hand in hand with them."
Fee stressed that discussions are in a preliminary phase and nothing has been established. He said no specific area or prerequisites for loan application have been discussed.
"There are issues that still need to be ironed out. Part of that is who will be eligible for the program," Fee said. "What's key, is to have follow-up meetings with all the county people, along with the EPA. We have a way to go before we start setting up a footprint as to where we want to target the money."
No future meetings have been scheduled to date, the commissioners' office said, but O'Brien expects another conference with state and local officials sometime in the next two weeks.
"We want to get things moving," O'Brien said. "Being a former assistant county prosecutor and working with the Health Department, I knew this was an issue when I first ran for office and it still is. I've been working with officials to try and address it since I came here. I've spent countless hours discussing the issues with the EPA and others.
"We want to get it done," he said.

BSC RASP Forges Relationship with Elizabeth City State University Counterpart
CreatedMonday, April 08 2013
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RASP) staff members Lisa Saunders and Julie Kalk traveled on April 5 to Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) in Elizabeth City, NC to observe operations in the highly successful ECSU Office of Sponsored Programs. The BSC delegation was welcomed by ECSU Director of Sponsored Programs Patricia Gibbs and her staff.
The BSC representatives were introduced to how the major components of grant application and management—pre-award services, post-award services, and compliance—are handled at ECSU, after which they met with each of the ECSU sub-units to discuss details.
"It was an opportunity for me to confirm that the issues we have in RASP are universal and to learn some techniques for dealing with those issues," said Saunders. "It was also nice to see that they have been able to grow their office from 2-3 staff and $1.5 million in grants to 10-11 staff and $15 million in grants in the last decade."
ECSU was chosen as a mentor institution because of a broad overlap in mission and activities between it and BSC. Both ECSU and BSC are Historically Black Colleges & Universities that identify themselves as teaching institutions and serve similarly-sized communities. ECSU is a past recipient and BSC a current recipient of the National Institutes of Health Extramural Associates Research and Development Award (EARDA), which is intended to strengthen sponsored programs infrastructure.
Additionally, Dr. Kalk and Dr. Tesfaye Belay are participating in the ECSU Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) which uses technology and critical thinking to improve student outcomes in science and engineering courses. A delegation from ECSU MSEIP will be visiting BSC on April 19 to provide training in the use of a Smart Board that was purchased for BSC through the program.
"We hope that establishing strong ties with ECSU in a range of areas will make both institutions stronger," noted Kalk. "If the reception and acceptance we experienced at ECSU is indicative of future events, this relationship is bound to be a success."

In addition to viewing URLs in the standard Web browsers, there are other useful ways of getting and using Web data on Linux systems right now. Here are a few of them.
If you want to view an image file that's on the Web, and you know
its URL, you don't have to start a Web browser to do it -- give the
URL as an argument to
display, part of the
ImageMagick suite of imaging tools (available in the Debian
imagemagick package or here).
For example, to view the image at
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/garbo-gifs/garbo01.gif, type:
display ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/garbo-gifs/garbo01.gif
Click the right mouse button to get a menu; from there, you can save the image to a file if you want to.
If I want to read the text of an article that's on the Web, and I
just want the text and not the Web design, I'll often grab the URL
with the
browser using the
-dump option. This dumps the text of the given URL
to the standard output; then I can pipe the output to
less for perusal, or use redirection to save it to a
lynx -dump http://www.sc.edu/fitzgerald/winterd/winter.html | less
It's an old Net convention for italicized words to be displayed in
inside underscores like _this_; use the
-underscore option to output
any italicized text in this manner.
By default,
lynx numbers all the hyperlinks and
produces a list of footnoted links at the bottom of the screen. If you
don't want them, add the
-nolist option, and just the pure text will be
To output the pure text, with underscores, of the above URL to the
winter_dreams, type (without the line break):
lynx -dump -underscore
http://www.sc.edu/fitzgerald/winterd/winter.html > winter_dreams
Or pipe the output to
to make a nice printout of it (again, don't enter the line breaks shown here):
lynx -dump -underscore
http://www.sc.edu/fitzgerald/winterd/winter.html |
enscript -B -f "Times-Roman10"
When I want to save the contents of a URL to a file, I often use
wget to do it. It keeps the file's original
timestamp, it's smaller and faster to use than a browser, and it shows
a visual display of the download progress. (You can get it from the
wget package or direct from any GNU archive).
So if I'm grabbing a webcam image, I'll do something like:
wget http://example.org/cam/cam.jpeg
This will save a copy of the image file as
cam.jpeg, which will
have the same timestamp attributes as the file on the
example.org server.
If you interrupt a download before it's finished, use the
-c option
to resume from the point it left off:
wget -c http://example.org/cam/image.jpeg
To archive a single Web site, use the
-m ("mirror") option, which
saves files with the exact timestamp of the originals, if possible,
and sets the "recursive retrieval" option to download everything. To
specify the number of retries to use when an error occurs in
retrieval, use the
-t option with a numeric argument --
-t3 is usually
good for safely retrieving across the net; use
-t0 to allow an infinite
number of retries when your network connection is really
bad but you really want to archive something, regardless of how
long it takes. Finally, use the
-o option with a filename as an
argument to write a progress log to the file -- it can be useful to
examine in case anything goes wrong. Once the archival process is
complete and you've determined that it was successful, you can delete
the logfile.
For example, to mirror the Web site at http://www.bloofga.org, giving up to three retries for retrieval of files and putting error messages in a logfile called mirror.log, type:
wget -m -t3 -o mirror.log http://www.bloofga.org/
To continue an archive that you've left off, use the
-nc ("no
clobber") option; it doesn't retrieve files that have already been
downloaded. For this option to work the way you want it to, be sure to
be in the same directory that you were in when you started to archive
the site.
For example, to continue an interrupted mirror of the www.bloofga.org site, while making sure that existing files aren't downloaded and giving up to three retries for retrieval of files, type:
wget -nc -m -t3 http://www.bloofga.org/

Couture Color2 of 13
No one does red like Italian designer Valentino Garavani, whose signature heady hue is a mix of magenta, yellow and a dash of black. His premier red creation—a cocktail dress with a skirt of tulle roses named Fiesta—debuted in his first collection in 1959. In 2011, the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum was launched, allowing an insider's look into the couture designer's past 40 years of making fashion history.
Shall We Dance?3 of 13
Princess Diana wore red suits, ski outfits, hats and maternity dresses. Her penchant for the shade is legendary, so much so that the royal style icon mistook the song Lady in Red to be about her, (Singer Chris de Burgh later clarified that he wrote it for his own wife, Diane.)
Joy Luck Club4 of 13
The color red holds strong in Chinese cultural history, as this fiery color is associated with bringing happiness and good fortune. Unlike the Western view of this color and its use in costume, red is the traditional color of a bride's wedding dress in China.
Pretty Woman5 of 13
Julia Roberts' iconic red silk opera gown in Pretty Woman was nearly—gasp!—made in black. Costume designer Marilyn Vance fought the studio to put the then-22-year-old actress in arresting red for the ultimate street-to-society makeover.
Power Player6 of 13
Always a fan of fashion and a symbol of the '80s, Nancy Reagan often wore red, so much so that the term "Reagan red" was coined during the Reagan administration.
The LRD7 of 13
Never underestimate the red factor. In Funny Face, Audrey Hepburn prances down the steps of the Louvre in a show-stopping silk confection by Hubert de Givenchy. "I like pink," the actress once said, but the rich red Givenchy dress played off her fair skin and dark hair for a dramatic effect on film.
Red Hot8 of 13
During the 1950s, fashion looked to Spain for style inspiration, and rich ruby became the "it" color—often worn with matching red lipstick. Liz Taylor, Brigitte Bardot and Ava Gardner all favored the shade that accentuated their curves. In 1953's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell impersonate human stop signs in sexy sequined red gowns.
Drawing Attention9 of 13
The 1930s and animator Max Fleischer brought us Betty Boop, the little minx with saucer eyes and a strapless fire engine–red minidress that featured a heart-shaped neckline. Jessica Rabbit of 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? carried on the sexpot cartoon tradition in her sequined red gown with a dangerous side slit.
Scarlet Stigma10 of 13
After the publication of Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous tale of adulteress Hester Pryne and her scarlet A in 1850, the color took on scandalous connotations. Society girls quickly opted for a softer hue of pink.
Something's Afoot11 of 13
Louis XIV, the French king known for his love of shapely legs, painted the heels of his man pumps red to bring attention to his calves, and a trend was born. A couple centuries later, shoe guru Christian Louboutin was inspired to create red soles after watching a girl paint her nails vermillion.
Blood Red12 of 13
Mary Queen of Scots, known for her long auburn tresses, wore a startling scarlet dress beneath a black cloak to her execution in 1587. Even her petticoats were red. Why the festive look? Because red is the color of martyrs.
First Blush13 of 13
Red's supremacy can be traced to its exclusivity. The very first crimson dye—derived from a Mexican bug known as a cochineal—was discovered by Spaniards in the 1500s and became the main export to the New World. It took 70,000 insects to make a pound of the coveted dye.
