Heiress in Love by Christina Brooke - Romance>Historical Other eBook
When the Ministry of Marriage arranges a match, all that matters is power, wealth and prestige. In the business of marriage, there is no room for love. But even the most prudent plans can go awry...
Jane, Lady Roxdale, has endured one marriage of convenience decreed by the Ministry of Marriage. While she deeply regrets her late husband's death, she is relieved to be free at last. But when a dissolute rake threatens everything Jane holds dear, she must contemplate marrying a second time...
Disgraced libertine Constantine Black inherits his cousin Roxdale's land and title—while Roxdale's prim widow is left all the wealth. Constantine is not a marrying man, but wedding Jane is the only way to save the estate from ruin. Jane resists the smoldering heat between them, desperate not to fall in love with an unrepentant rake. But for the first time ever, Constantine wants more than seduction. He wants all of her—body, heart, and soul...
The newly widowed Jane, Lady Roxdale, stood at the window of her private sitting room, staring out at the scene below.
Carriage upon carriage, some draped in black crêpe, some emblazoned with noble coats of arms, choked the rush-strewn drive that wound up to the house. Like a train of shiny black beetles, they shuffled between ornate wrought-iron gates, marched through an avenue of oaks, then paused beneath the portico to disgorge mourners.
Their pace was slow, respectful, inexorable. And Jane could not wait for them all to depart as slowly and respectfully as they'd come.
She pressed trembling fingertips to the windowpane. How soon? How soon must she leave her home?
Not hers anymore. His.
Constantine Black. Her husband's cousin and heir. The scoundrel who had not even bestirred himself to appear at his kinsman's funeral.
If he couldn't summon sufficient proper feeling to appear today, was she not right to fear for the estate? But then, the new Lord Roxdale was reputed to be glittering and wild, a philanderer, a drunkard, a gamester, with no thought in his head save the next faro bank, the next wench, the next bottle of wine.
He would run through his new fortune, just as he'd squandered the funds he'd inherited from his father. That would take time, of course, even for an inveterate gamester such as Constantine Black.
The Lazenby estate was vast, bolstered by the spectacular dowry Jane had brought to her marriage. Her family's money would fund this wastrel's dissipation, while she was cast out of her home. The utter, galling unfairness of it! If only ...
If only she'd borne an heir, this disaster could have been averted.
Her throat ached with a sudden rush of sadness. If only Luke were the son of her body as well as the son of her heart.
Outside, sullen drizzle turned to rain, spattering those barouches and landaus, tapping at her fingertips through the windowpane. Footmen with umbrellas emerged to rescue the mourners inside the stalled vehicles and shepherd them into the house.
Jane let the curtain fall and closed her eyes. Constantine Black would plunder the legacy that had dropped like a ripe whore into his lap. She'd no power to stop him. None.
A jolt of awareness made her eyes snap open. Something must have alerted her. Not a sound, for the rain and the thick panes of glass muffled noise from the outside. More an atmosphere. She fingered the gauzy curtain aside and peered out again to see a flurry, a veritable commotion below.
A man. Yes, a man on a white horse, thundering down the lawn alongside the drive, streaking past all those black beetles like a shooting star through the night.
She couldn't see his face, merely gained the impression of broad shoulders, muscular thighs hugging the horse's flanks, and a daredevil billow and furl to his cloak as it streamed out behind.
He reined in where the bottleneck of carriages made passage to the shelter of the portico impossible. The big, milk-white stallion stood quiescent, magnificent, as the gentleman dismounted in a graceful slide.
The newcomer swept off his hat and bowed to the mourners, who were undoubtedly agog but too well-bred to show it. Black curls tousled and damped in the wet breeze.
He stilled. His big shoulders lifted slightly, as if invisible fingers pinched his nape.
Then he turned. And looked up. At her.
Their gazes met, and the distance between them seemed to vanish in a dizzying flash. Somnolent eyes openly stared at her, heavy-lidded, insolent, a touch quizzical.
Jane's lips parted. Her heart pounded against her ribs. She had to remind herself...

Blu-ray Review: 'In Fear'
What scares you? If it's being car crazy then follow us as we check out the new to Blu-ray horror outing "In Fear" out now from Anchor Bay Home Entertainment. We stay in the car and review below!
Title: "In Fear"
Grade: 2 1/2
Cast: Iain De Caestecker, Alice Englert, Allen Leech
Director: Jeremy Lovering
Rating: R
Runtime: 85 minutes
Release Company: Anchor Bay Home Entertainment
Website: www.anchorbayent.com
The Flick: I have to give serious kudos to the premise of "In Fear," namely a couple being terrorized by unknown people and elements. In a world of serious blood and gore it's nice to see a flick still trying for the psychological scares. Problem with "In Fear" is the film gets off on the right foot, but things just get incredibly tedious and dull (especially driving in what seems like a circle forever!) and the terror starts to fade. The leads are decent (especially emotionally frail Alice Englert) and the direction good, but again this creepy coffee needed more sugar to rise above being an average cup of joe.
Best Feature: The single 'Behind the Scenes' featurette reveals that there was no actual script per say. Good news for the naturalism in the performances, but bad news for the story and scares.
Best Hidden Gem: Eerie stranger Allen Leech plays all sides of his mysterious character with equal joy and malice.
Worth the Moola: A good set up and some scares brought down by monotony – so-so.

by Nikki's Mom , 05/24/2012
I have been taking my three dogs to Donna's home salon for several years. No waiting, less stress on the pets. One of my dogs is 20yo! :) No really. Donna is so patient and careful with him. He could not be in better hands. He has very long and difficult hair to groom, but she does a great job. I don't know what we would do without her, I would never do a drop off and pick up with Nikki, he is too fragile for that. Thanks Donna for everything you do.
Best Groomer Ever!!!!!
by Nancy Grounard , 09/30/2011
I have been taking my 2 poodles to Donna since 2005 when I moved to Tucson. She is extremely talented, my dogs always come home looking BEAUTIFUL!. The greatest thing about Donna is her compassion for the dogs. She is always concerned about them being stressed, and does everything possible to make them feel safe and comfortable. At times this may mean asking the owner to be present so that the dog feels better. Funny, I have no problem with that at all! Both my dogs are now 15 years old. The one has difficulty standing because she tires easily, and her back end is weak. Donna tries so very hard to groom this dog, and on very rare occasion asks me to hold the dog to help out. Most groomers would refuse to groom this dog at all, but Donna continues to help me out. I would do anything to make my dogs feel more comfortable, and so would DONNA! Don, you really misjudged Donna and you really owe her an apology, but bcause you are the type of person you are, she will not get one from you.
Dog Grooming By Donna- Donna
by Donna Jones , 04/16/2011
in response to Don and Bev Carlson negative review with my services, unfortunatly, because I groomed their dog a full year ago, I do not remember them or their dog.on my client card I did note the dog was difficult to clip and dry and if I felt the dog was extremely stressed I would have called them to stay with the dog.Ihave done this on other ocassions and owners were always happy to do so.It's a judgement call that based on my 35 years experience I do as I have worked in shops where dogs have expired from stress. I emailed them to ask why they thought I lacked patience and what their groomer in Mn was so "appalled" about but have not heard back.I take great pride in my grooming abilities .my more than 300 regulars let me know I,m doing a great job.
Dog Grooming
by Don , 01/05/2011
We found the very nice descriptive ad in Dex Knows. With our once upon a time traumatized rescue cocker spaniel, we were looking for a groomer with a lot of patience. Donna was not the patient groomer. We were called half way through the grooming, to help out. This has never happen to us before. Our patient summer time groomer in northern Minnesota was appalled by his terrible experience.

USDA Provides Grants to Help States Cut Down on SNAP Benefit Trafficking
Release No. FNS 0002.14
Contact: FNS Office of the Chief Communications Officer: (703) 305-2281
SNAP fraud rates already low; grants will help states improve program integrity even further
WASHINGTON, June 26, 2014 – Today Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon announced the availability of up to $7 million in grant funds to prevent recipient trafficking in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Through increased oversight and improvements in program management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working to help states reduce SNAP trafficking, the exchange of benefits for cash or other goods or services. The grants announced today, which are a key component of USDA's efforts to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in SNAP, will be awarded competitively to state agencies.
The SNAP Recipient Trafficking Prevention Grant Program is a new program designed to improve outcomes in the prevention, detection, and prosecution of recipient trafficking. Recipients found guilty of trafficking are subject to severe penalties, such as criminal punishment and permanent disqualification from the program. USDA works through state agency partners to investigate recipient fraud, and hold bad actors accountable.
"USDA continues to take an aggressive stance on abuse to preserve integrity in the nation's largest nutrition safety net," said Concannon. "SNAP fraud is rare, but no level of abuse is acceptable and new strategies are continuously implemented to improve the effectiveness of our anti-fraud efforts."
Concannon also today announced second quarter, fiscal year 2014 results of USDA's work in fighting fraudulent activity in SNAP retail stores. In that quarter, USDA staff took final actions to:
- Impose sanctions, through fines or temporary disqualifications, on 201 stores found violating program rules; and
- Permanently disqualify 393 stores for trafficking SNAP benefits (i.e. exchanging SNAP benefits for cash) or falsifying an application.
While the vast majority of SNAP recipients and retailers abide by the rules, USDA is committed to protecting the taxpayer investment in SNAP, and making sure that the program is targeted toward those families who need it most. In order to reduce fraud among retailers, USDA has been working to strengthen the review process, improve retailer standards and depth of stock requirements, and partner with states to improve investigations.
The recipient trafficking prevention grants are open to all state agencies administering SNAP, including the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. USDA anticipates awarding the grants by September 30, 2014. USDA will consider only one application per state agency. Grant applicants are required to establish a baseline of their anti-fraud activities, track the outcomes from the strategies approved for this grant solicitation, and report them back to USDA. USDA intends to review the results to determine the most effective strategies and then share those best practices with state agencies, nationwide.
SNAP - the nation's first line of defense against hunger - helps put food on the table for millions of families experiencing hardship. The program has never been more critical to the fight against hunger. Nearly half of SNAP participants are children, and 42 percent of recipients live in households in which at least one adult is working but still cannot afford to put food on the table. SNAP benefits provided help to millions who lost their jobs during the Great Recession. For many, SNAP benefits provide temporary assistance, with the average new applicant remaining on the program 10 months.
These announcements are part of the Obama Administration's ongoing Campaign to Cut Waste designed to fight fraud and abuse in federal programs. Please see the 2013 Retailer Policy and Management annual report for more information on SNAP retailer oversight. For more information about USDA efforts to combat fraud, visit the Stop SNAP Fraud website at http://www.fns.usda.gov/program-integrity.

Safavieh Rug Named to "This Old House" Top 100 List
November 1, 2012,
PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.-"This Old House" magazine has named Safavieh's Four Seasons indoor/outdoor rugs as one of the 100 best new home products of 2012, the only area rug named to this year's list. Introduced at the Atlanta International Area Rug Market this past July, Four Seasons is hand-hooked of solution-dyed polypropylene and patterns range from traditional Persian and Moroccan motifs to English country florals to contemporary looks.
"The TOH Top 100 is the result of an exhaustive search for the most forward-thinking, relevant and necessary new home products out there," said Scott Omelianuk, editor of "This Old House." "Through the winners, we saw several major trends emerge in homes, including bringing the outside in, simplified do-it-yourself and getting high-end looks for less."
Arash Yaraghi, Safavieh principal, added "We're honored to be included in the TOH Top 100 list. And we are gratified that "This Old House" has recognized the great strides in quality and design in the outdoor living category we've taken with Four Seasons. This collection really does blend indoor and outdoor spaces. It is innovative in so many ways, from patterns with neon colors, to multi-colored chintz designs--all unheard of in outdoor a year ago."
The 2012 list marks the second annual TOH Top 100 list, and a complete list can be found at ThisOldHouse.com/top100 and on newsstands, beginning tomorrow.

This is going to be one mighty fine Christmas present for Mitt Romney…
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, is hosting a fundraiser for Governor Romney on December 12th.
Christie, who endorsed Gov Romney on Oct 11th, said he was going to do all within his power to elect Mitt. This will be a big help (and you know Christie's fundraiser is going to be a good time!):
TRENTON — Now that he has given his endorsement, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will start generating some cash for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Christie is holding a fundraiser for the former Massachusetts governor on Dec. 12.
According to an invitation obtained by The Associated Press, tickets for the event, which is being held at the Hilton in Parsippany, range from $500 for general admission to between $2,500 and $25,000 for VIPs.
It is the first fundraiser that Christie has held since endorsing Romney earlier this month.
Romney endorsed Christie when the former U.S. attorney ran for governor in 2009. And in January, he became the first Republican presidential contender to visit Christie at the governor's mansion in Princeton.
Maggie Haberman (Politico) reports:
The event's host committee is asking each person on that roster to rustle up 10 people to donate the maximum $2,500.
Christie answers questions at a press conference about his Romney endorsement (video by Brian Donohue/The Star-Ledger):
Those two make quite a team…

"Loved the design. It stood out from the standard photo graduation invitations. It was great to highlight the University's name and the graduate in a simple, yet unique design. Very pleased."
"I loved the delicate, simplicity of this card for my daughter. And the fact that I can later use the photo in a table top frame... quality of all tiny prints products is always excellent."
"These invitations are so elegant. I changed up the color of the flowers to blue and green. I had the cut seen in the photo and love it, worth a few extra cents to have fun shape instead of regular rectangular card shape. They were delivered to my door in perfect condition and just a ordered."
"I ordered the white pearl type of paper for my invitations with scalloped edging. The quality of the paper and the print exceeded my expectations. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"Have received many compliments about how nice this card was. We were impressed with the quality and design. Will use tinyprints again."

Ethical Formation Center Named "Innovative"
By Brett Wilson | September 27, 2013
The 2013 "back to school" issue of preLaw magazine.
Photo courtesy of nationaljurist.com.
In its Sept. 2013 "back to school" issue, preLaw magazine, a premiere publication for prospective law students, listed Regent University School of Law's Center for Ethical Formation & Legal Education Reform as one of legal education's "25 Innovative Ideas."
"I am pleased with the recognition in preLaw magazine, as it is another indicator of how legal education is recognizing the importance of renewed focus in the character formation of law students," said School of Law professor and co-director of the center, L.O. Natt Gantt.
The article praises the Center for Ethical Formation & Legal Education Reform's vigilance in preparing its students to develop high standards of ethical and moral behavior in addition to their traditional legal education. According to preLaw, a recent study by the Carnegie Foundation indicated that many programs fail to adequately prepare students for the issues that arise in the professional realm.
Benjamin Madison, School of Law professor and co-director of the center, explained that while it is well to incorporate vital guidelines for practicing attorneys such as the Model Rules and Rules of Professional Conduct into legal educations, many situations that arise in the legal field may not be black and white.
"These were never intended to be our moral or ethical code; they are just a subset of principles that cover specific scenarios in law practice," said Madison. "We note that the most effective lawyers are respectful and that the notion that a lawyer has to be disagreeable and contentious to be effective is a misconception."
The center, while providing courses such as Christian Foundations of Law, also pairs students with Christian lawyers and judges to help guide and mentor students as they discover how to incorporate Biblical principles into their budding legal careers.
"Legal employers and clients want more than lawyers who are just knowledgeable about law and lawyering skills; they also desire lawyers who have key character traits that are important to legal professionals, including integrity, honesty, trustworthiness, perseverance and self-awareness," said Gantt. "Through the initiatives of the center...the law school will be able to develop further efforts to educate our students in these character traits that are important to the practice of law."
This is a task that both Gantt and Madison are proud to contribute to, as they continue to lead students through the development of their life-skills and discovery of God's calling on their lives as they complete their legal education.
"Our vision is for the center to be a leading voice in this movement focusing on how legal education can better develop the character and professional identities of law students," said Gantt. "Professor Madison and I are excited about how Regent Law can contribute to this dialogue in the legal academy and the legal profession."

Continuing its commitment to sustainability, North Central discovered a new way to take down last season's holiday decorations. Trees and garland from Wentz Concert Hall, A.A. Smith House and other campus locations were donated to the Willowbrook Wildlife Center to be used as animal habitats. Willowbrook will use the holiday greenery decorations to create habitats for the injured animals the center helps rehabilitate.
Any amount of greenery the center receives is helpful in creating small habitats and making the animals more comfortable before they can be released back into their natural environment. Willowbrook is still looking for more donations. If you have any fresh holiday decorations you'd like to recycle contact the Willowbrook Wildlife Center at 630-942-6200, ext. 0, or drop off your clean greens at the center's service drive gate at 525 S. Park Blvd. in Glen Ellyn.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Education
The Council on Postsecondary Education approved Stronger by Degrees, A Strategic Agenda for Kentucky Postsecondary and Adult Education at its meeting this afternoon in Frankfort. Required by statute, the 2011-2015 strategic agenda and performance metrics will guide public policy priorities as articulated in the Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 (House Bill 1).
The new agenda builds on a decade of success resulting from House Bill 1 and intensifies the focus on four urgent policy areas: college readiness; student success; research, economic, and community development; and efficiency and innovation.
"The success of postsecondary and adult education across all four strategic policy areas is critical to improving Kentucky's economy and quality of life of its citizens," said Bob King, president of the Council. "This agenda brings focus and renewed energy to accelerate Kentucky's progress."
The agenda is the result of a year of work involving more than 100 contributors, including CPE members and staff, institutional planners, provosts, campus presidents, chief business officers, college and university faculty, and representatives from the business community. Others included staff from the Kentucky Department of Education, the Economic Development Cabinet, Education Professional Standards Board, Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, and other agencies and organizations.
Eastern Kentucky University President Doug Whitlock, who serves as the convener of the Conference of Presidents, voiced support for the plan.
"Speaking for the presidents, I can say we appreciate both the process through which this agenda was developed and the finished product on which we reached consensus with President King," said Whitlock. "The four areas of focus and the strategic objectives lay out a sound public policy agenda for Kentucky's postsecondary education community. I truly believe the Commonwealth will be well-served."
Stronger by Degrees is the third strategic agenda developed and implemented by the Council since passage of the higher education reforms.
The agenda includes updated mission, vision and value statements for postsecondary and adult education, statewide objectives and strategies to guide work in each of the four areas of policy focus, as well as performance metrics.
As part of the accountability structure, the Council will approve statewide and institution-level performance targets at its June meeting. Other components of the accountability system will be a new dashboard to gauge quantitative and qualitative progress, regular status reports to the Governor and legislature, and annual campus reports to the Council.
In other business, the Council:
The Council also heard a variety of reports including an update from Dr. Terry Holliday, Commissioner of Education, and a report on efforts to improve the quality of K-12 teachers and school leaders from Dr. Phil Rogers, executive director of the Education Professional Standards Board, in addition to other reports.
The next regular meeting of the Council will be held April 28 at the University of Kentucky.
The strategic agenda is available at http://cpe.ky.gov/strategicagenda.htm.
Council meeting materials are available at http://www.cpe.ky.gov/about/cpe/meetings/2011MeetingSchedule.htm.
Kentucky's postsecondary and adult education system is improving the economic vitality of the Commonwealth and the lives of Kentuckians. By raising educational attainment, Kentucky will attract higher wage and knowledge-based business and industry. The overall quality of life for Kentuckians will improve with higher incomes and levels of employment, better health, less obesity, more volunteerism, and lower crime and public assistance rates.

Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
Years ago I found this recipe on a box of Uncle Ben's original rice. I can always get the man at the meat counter to cut these in half for me even when they are frozen. My daughter loves getting her own "little chicken"

- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 rock cornish game hens, halved
- 1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend
- salt
- 2 teaspoons apple jelly
- 1 1⁄2 cups red seedless grapes, halved or 1 red apple, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup thinly sliced celery
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted cashews
- Combine 1/4 cup of jelly and cinnamon in a small sauce pan.
- Heat and stir until melted; set aside.
- Place hen halves, skin side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with salt.
- Roast in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- Brush with the jelly/cinnamon mixture.
- Roast for 20 to 30 minutes longer or until browned and tender.

I didn't actually cook these, my Mother-in-law did, but I did eat them. I had given her the recipe months ago. She said she followed the recipe exactly. They were really good totally different than the plain way we usually prepare them. Excellent!!!!
Pretty good, thank you for sharing!
This tasted like a gourmet dish without the fuss and time of cooking a gourmet meal. I rubbed salt and butter under the skin before cooking then glazed twice instead of once to get it really browned and sweet. This is my first time cooking cornish hens but certainly not my last!. I served this with the cinnamon glazed baby carrots recipe which complemented it quite well. Thanks, Karen, for the recipe!

Carl Cox
House music legend gives some advice to Ultra and Winter Music Conference
British house and techno legend Carl Cox is such a fixture at the Ultra Music Festival that he gets his own tent - twice. Yes, you can check him out Friday and Saturday at his Carl Cox and Friends tent, along with Laurent Garnier and Loco Dice (Friday) and Yousef, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Fedde Le Grand and Moby (Saturday). Cox even gets to hand-pick the DJs each year. He talked to Miami.com about what we can expect from the show - and even offered some advice for both WMC and Ultra planners.
Do you think it was a good idea for Ultra to expand to three days?
[Laughs] No, I have to say. Because the thing is, there's a saying in life - "less is more." So when Ultra started and it was only one day, people went there and got everything they could possibly have wanted. And then it went to two days and people had to set themselves up for a two-day event. But when it went to three days, you would have heard anything you possibly could have wanted over the first two days. So what now do you really want on an extra day? I really don't know. If I paid my money for Ultra, I wouldn't want to be there for three days. If there was camping, that'd be a different story. So I have to say I love Ultra, but if you make it two days of the best it could possibly be, I think people would be satisfied. And they have been in the past.
What can we expect from your shows?
I've been sorting some really amazing music over the last year, so my set will be really different from last year and the year before that. What I really enjoy is being able to go as far underground as possible on Friday night, because it's just me, Loco Dice and Laurent Garnier. And on Saturday, we'll maybe sober it up a little bit commercially by having Afrojack and Steve Aoki play first before me. So I will play accordingly, with big-room stadium tracks. So it's really dynamic for me to go from underground on Friday to a stadium sound on Saturday. I've just got so much great new music to play, I just can't wait to get myself behind those turntables and rock the house.
Other than the generic "techno" or "house," how would you describe your sound?
It's difficult to describe my sound, I think, because primarily it has a 4/4 beat, primarily it has elements of house and techno. But I always go for music that has emotion in it, and I get to push those buttons when I get to play those tracks. And it's always a journey - I always make sure to start somewhere and end up somewhere else within the confines of the music I play.
Are you performing anywhere else that week?
This will be my third year now of doing a kind of funk and soul disco party on Sunday, at Mokai. We'll play like James Brown and Al Green and all sorts of stuff - people love it because it's completely different.
Do you prefer playing a festival like Ultra to a long night in a club?
I don't think I prefer it, but when you have a big crowd like that, I just rise to the occasion because it's a big celebration and I embrace it. And when you keep going to the same club all the time, it can get really boring - I mean, you know where the toilets are, you know the door staff. A club is somewhere you go week in and week out, and you get comfortable with that. At least with Ultra, you have to wait one year to find out what will happen.
What do you think of the split between WMC and Ultra?
Well, it's a bit strange, really. I mean, you always have safety in numbers. With house music as a whole, we're supposed to be in this all together, and they decided to do that for whatever reason. I mean, they could put [WMC] on whenever they want, January, February or even July - it's up to them. But to stand there and go, "We're not going to do this" for whatever their reasons are, and therefore Ultra has to stand on its own, I just found that strange. It's become more of a power struggle than anything. But people have to decide what they want to do, where they want to go. Only time will tell if what they decided is worth it.
How often do you get to Miami, and what do you think of the city?
Oh, man, I love the city of Miami - I always have a really good time when I come there. It's got some of the best food around, and I love food [laughs]. There are so many great places to eat - it's just amazing. But I just like the spirit of Miami, but unfortunately I'm not able to be there as much as I'd like. I try to do at least one event outside of Ultra per year, like I did last year at Mansion for Halloween, which was an amazing night. So it is worth trying to fit in Miami as much as possible outside of Conference.

The family of a U.S. Customs Enforcement agent killed in a 2011 ambush on a Mexican highway and another agent who survived are suing the government and others.
The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Brownsville arises from the Feb. 15, 2011, attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila.
They were attacked in their armored SUV near San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
Zapata died, and Avila was seriously wounded.
The lawsuit names the agents' supervisors among nearly two dozen others. It alleges that Zapata and Avila never should have been sent on the dangerous mission, their armored SUV was flawed and at least two of the guns used in the attack were bought in the United States.

Hats Off to One of Dudley's Top 2011 Graduates
7/28/2011, 10:25 p.m.
Kudos and congratulations to Ms. Venus Senior, a 2011 Graduate of Dudley's Beauty College in Washington DC. Senior is a Fort Washington, MD resident, independently raising four children; 3 girls and 1 boy.
Through dedication and determination, she purposed in her heart and mind to successfully complete the program in spite of unforeseen circumstances and difficulties. Ms Senior is well known through her clients at Dudley's for her infamous shampoos. Senior stated that it has not been easy balancing work, hair school, and parenting all at once, however she was determined to prove to her children that hard work pays off. Senior has been in hair school since 1998 and finally completed the program at Dudley's. Senior say's she is now on her way! She strongly believes that all products, in which she uses, should benefit her client's hair and skin.
Senior thanks her lead Instructor at Dudley's Ms. Shadonna Carpenter who she says provided her with a solid foundation of hair care. Such as talk to and listen to your clients, shift lay it down and comb, and statements as in reading is fundamental. Ms Carpenter has shared with her students that if you know your vocabulary you will always be one step ahead. Also Senior give's special thanks to Ms.Carolyn a former teacher of her's who also instilled in her "preparation prevents poor performance" These are things that Senior will never forget as she is well on her way to providing what she says will be a State of the Art experience for her clients!!

The Holden Roundup
BACKYARD VISITOR: Holden's wildlife watchers are especially alert these days. An adult red-tail hawk perched itself in a tree in Albert Horsfall's backyard on Dorothy Avenue Friday afternoon. The photo, which was dropped off at The Landmark's office late that day, was taken by Albert's son Paul Horsfall.
RAD CLASSES OFFERED: The Holden Police Department is offering both the basic six-week RAD program and the two-week RAD keychain defense course. A real-life simulation will be conducted the last week of the program. The program is open to women ages 14 and up. The course consists of both classroom lecture and realistic physical defense training. The program will run once a week on Wednesday nights, April 26-June 21 from 7-9 p.m. at the Holden Senior Center.
Interested women should apply before April 25, and seats are limited. The course fee is $20 per person, which may be paid at the first class. Applications can be picked up at the Holden Police Department. Questions should be directed to Officer Timothy Sherblom, (508) 829-4444, ext. 35.
ONE BOOK, ONE HOLDEN REMINDER: Free copies of this year's "One Book, One Holden" book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry will be given away at 9:30 a.m., Monday, April 3, at the Gale Free Library.
BASEBALL FEVER: If you see a lot of red at Gale Free Library on Monday, April 3, that is because it is "Johnny Who?" Day. That's Red Sox opening day with the Texas Rangers in Texas, and the staff are having some fun. Most staff members will be wearing some kind of tribute to baseball, and to the Red Sox in particular. "It is also a good feeling to recognize the beginning of spring and the end of winter," says GFL Director Jane Dutton.
HOLDEN RESIDENT EXHIBITS AT GFL: Princeton Street artist Valerie deForest Byron will exhibit her oil paintings and charcoal sketches of landscapes and still life at GFL throughout April. A reception will be held Saturday, April 1, from 1 to 3 p.m. If you are coming to the library specifically to see the exhibit, you might want to call and confirm that there are no programs going on in the program room, advised Jane Dutton.
"We have one room for all of our programs and for our exhibits," Dutton said. "Some visitors have been disappointed when they have come to see an exhibit and there is storytime going on. People can either wait until the program is over or call ahead."
DATE CHANGE: The Center Neighborhood Association will sponsor a presentation at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, at the senior center, with Holden Police Chief George Sherrill and Fred Misilo, chairman of the Public Safety Building Committee, on the subject of the proposed public safety building. The building, which would house the town's police and fire departments, would be built at the current site of the fire department on the Main Street. The meeting originally had been scheduled for April 11.
If you've spotted a story, scratched your head or gotten an idea about something in town, we'd love to hear about it. Call Robin Harned, the Holden reporter, at (508) 829-5981, ext. 33, or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Soak, Steam, Spritz: It's All Self-Care
December 10, 2016,
A bunion is a deformity that usually occurs at the head of one of the five long bones (the metatarsal bones) that extend from the arch of the foot and connect to the toes. A bunion typically develops in the following way:
People born with abnormal bones in their feet are more likely to form a bunion. In addition, wearing narrow-toed, high-heeled shoes, which put enormous pressure on the front of the foot, may also lead to a bunion formation. The condition may become painful as extra bone and a fluid-filled sac grow at the base of the big toe.
Flat feet, gout, arthritis, and occupations (such as ballet) that place undue stress on the feet can also increase the risk for bunions.
Shoes and Protective Pads. Pressure and pain from bunions and bunionettes can be relieved by wearing appropriate shoes, such as the following:
A thick doughnut-shaped, moleskin pad can protect the protrusion. In some cases, an orthotic can help redistribute weight and take pressure off the bunion. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections may offer some pain relief.
Surgery. If discomfort persists, surgery may be necessary, particularly for more serious conditions, such as hallux valgus. There are more than 100 surgical variations, ranging from removing the bump to realigning the toes.
The most common surgery, an office procedure known as bunionectomy, involves shaving down the bone of the big toe joint. In one procedure the surgeon uses a very small incision, through which the bone-shaving drill is inserted. The physician shaves off the bone, guided by feel or x-ray. This technique is not a cure, but patient satisfaction is high and results are long-lasting.
More extensive surgeries may be required to realign the toe joint. Although there are variations of each, they generally involve one or more of the following:
In severe cases, surgeons are testing bone grafts to restore bone length in patients who have had previous bunion surgeries or damage from osteoarthritis.
Complications, though uncommon in even the most complex procedures, can include:
Recovery from more invasive procedures, such as arthrodesis or osteotomy, may take 6 - 8 weeks, and it can be that long before a patient can put full weight on the foot. In such cases, the patient will need to wear a cast or use crutches. Elderly patients may need wheelchairs.

What Does Parental "Education" Have To Do With Health "Insurance" Reform?
Something that must be kept in mind – while the Democrats are attempting to change the focus of their pending legislation from health care reform to health insurance reform, they've not changed the legislation to reflect that.
Of all people, Chuck Norris brings that point home with a vengeance. Unlike our lawmakers, he's apparently actually read the House bill and found another nugget that is not only costly and none of the government's business, but has nothing to do with health insurance reform.
It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.
The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains … modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."
You can read Norris' fisking of the provision for yourself. He, of course, wants to know why a government agency is being legislated into existence to provide parents with "knowledge of age-appropriate child development" tools and wants to know whose principles and values would drive such teaching – the government's or the parents. Uh, well, I don't think you really have to ask, because there's no reason to send out agents if they're just going to teach the parent's values.
The more imporant points are A) this is none of the government's business and B) it has nothing to do with reforming health care insurance.
Or said another way, you're being fed a line when the Democrats claim that all they want to do is reform insurance when, as you read the bill, it becomes absolutely obvious that the bill isn't at all just about insurance reform, but instead about taking more and more control of your life and the lives of your children.
This is the sort of crap that has middle America angry and out protesting. And pretending that this bill is something other than what it is – an attempt to impose more government control over our lives – is only going to feed that anger. This is part of what those protesters are talking about when they say they're tired of being lied too and tired of being lied about.
35 Responses to What Does Parental "Education" Have To Do With Health "Insurance" Reform?
The only reason I can think of why this would have any bearing on health care is that it might have something to do with early detection of autism. Since autism is a developmental disorder, the parents are usually the first to spot that something's wrong, if they know what normal development looks like. The earlier they start treatment, the better the outcomes. But autism at a young age isn't always obvious, especially the "milder" forms like Asperger's Syndrome (which is what my boys have). One of my sons, it was obvious; the child bit anything that held still long enough and flew off the handle if I took the wrong number of steps to the kitchen. My other son, though, it wasn't so obvious. He looked like a normal boy, until you realized that he was physically incapable of ever holding still, couldn't carry on an appropriate conversation, was obsessed beyond all reason with Thomas the Tank Engine and didn't make eye contact. But I thought all that was normal for a boy, because I'd never had a boy before, and it took his younger brother's diagnosis for me to think there was anything unusual about him at all.
Still, though, I wouldn't have wanted social workers traipsing in and out of my house so that I could find all this out. My experience is that social workers tend to be 21 years old and childless. Lacking their own experience, they just repeat stuff you can find on the internet with a simple search. You get much, much more insight from networking with other moms. If the government really wants parents to learn about child development, they should give grants to churches, parks, and social networking sites.
Actually most new parents are relatively clueless on how to raise children, and it's been proven that home visits and assistance, especially to the poor, increase the health of children and reduce things like shaken baby syndrome and other problems. Local public health agencies have been promoting this kind of things for years, with it increasing in scope. It's good for families.
Show me the proof that sending in clueless 21 year old social workers who are fresh out of college and repeating what they've heard in a grade-inflated child development class does a BETTER job than talking to experienced-parent neighbors. If you live all by your lonesome in a small metal box and you never get to see anyone besides your child, I can see how you'd benefit from having a social worker come and clue you in as to what a child is and how not to shake it. The rest of us, not so much.
Uh huh, and Catholic priests completely understand being married Scott. They have a comprehensive working knowledge gained through many many months of, like yourself, reading books to experience and learn about these things.
Like your beliefs about the economy, and the mechanics of global climate operation.
And God knows, every kid is a little cookie cutter hunk of dough and can be dealt with using standardized formulas delivered by people dropping by for a quick look and then making their recommendations based on their (now) extensive knowledge of the child and the family dynamics.
In the real world we have a word for people like that, we call them seagulls. Because they fly in, shit all over everything, and then fly out again.
And more to the point Scott, what does this have to do with HEALTH INSURANCE?
"Seagull." I like that. I'll have to borrow that expression, it's perfect!
Actually most new parents are relatively clueless on how to raise children
However did we survive before "parental education"? God help us all
And again, what does it have to do with the current bill being discussed?
It's been proven that surviving gestation increases the health of children too, but oddly, the federal government has a different view about that.
The solution is obvious: Spay and neuter the poor.
And more to the point on your statement about new parents Scotty boy…I understand you have kids yourself. Which, EXACTLY, government agency was it that came and taught you how to raise them?
Let me guess it was the NSA – No Such Agency.
You arrogant liberal elitest, I was going to question the authenticity of your parents marrige at the time of your birth, but maybe your whacked up leftist beliefs and arrogance aren't their fault.
Actually most new parents are relatively clueless on how to raise children…
"Honey, did you leave the internet on? Because little Scottie found it again."
"Scottie. You know you're not allowed to play on the internet unsupervised."
"But Mom, all my friends are on!"
"Scottie, we've talked about this. They are not your friends. They're just bullies who want to make fun of special people."
Dude. The government has no business in raising other peoples children!! WTF is wrong with you???
Man, at least 2 beers….I owe you at least 2 beers.
What about the other six?
You expect me to pay for them myself!? I'm feeling… entitled.
Don't worry. I'll just tell the barkeep to send the bill to that looker over there.
LOL! Get it? … [sigh] 😉
I'll cover the other 6 Pogue – that was frickin' classic!
Chuck Norris' beard in 2012!

If a community wants it thats fine, perhaps its even a good idea, but not the feds.
Pingback: Twitted by QandO
Can you refuse the home visitation?
If not, then how is that Constitutional?
I mean, I know it's Living Constitutional, but what doesn't seem as if it's real Constitutional.
Oh! I'm SURE you'll be able to refuse them! And then their teachers will be contacted, or concerned members for the community will enter into the play (that would be the social team you refused entry to) and for the good of the children, your state's department of child welfare will be contacted, and they'll, uh, have to investigate your family, up close and personal.
Under the same premise as the idea that if you've got nothing to hide, you should let the police search you, your car, or your house without a warrant. If you're a good person, with nothing to hide, WHY would you EVER refuse these helpful visits! Clearly you MUST have something to hide.
One or two horror stories about families who refused to comply and be assimilated will help encourage the sheep who don't want to cause trouble for themselves to come along quietly.
No problem, we'll just expand the "firstname.lastname@example.com" program.
As for the needs of young parents, I'm not sure that the best option for helping them with raising and caring for their children is sending government bureaucrats to "help." Government services always come with strings attached and the workers are likely to be extremely limited in what they can do or say (so as to not offend anyone). Which means that it will be a program that is effective at only one thing– vacuuming up tax dollars.
The Left has long targeted the family.* This goes way back. Note that where they succeed, families begin to cease to exist and family responsibilities are distributed to state bureaucracies. (Cf. the black family after the Great Society; now featuring an illegitimacy rate of about 70%. With the Hispanic illegitimacy rate at about 50% and among whites, now at 30%.) Poverty and family disintegration is a full employment program for bureaucrats, so they must be maintained.
"Universal" health care is, in fact, a poverty program for a wealthy society that will further infantilize Americans across the board.
* At one point, during their Progressive Era eugenics craze, the Left targeted the poor family for virtual elimination. Cf. Margaret Sanger.
What's wrong with shaking babies anyway? Erb was shaken and dropped on his head a few times to boot, and he's just fine!
I'm sure they just want to make sure the kids are being taught in a way that ensure they sit down and shutup instead of engaging in the terrorist tactics of questioning our elected officials.
Although this first round is probably to just gage the scope of the problem.
Who wants to fink on Chuck Norris for spreading 'disinformation'?
(crickets chirping)
Yeah, that's what I thought!
Seriously, I wonder how many other "New Socialist Man" programs are in this bill. The fact that (as everybody points out) they have NOTHING to do with health care ought to raise an alarm with every American that, indeed, this idea is nothing but a Trojan Horse. Sadly, there are plenty of pinheads who can rationalize it away: so long as the intended result is "good", then who cares how you get it?
Let's assume Erb is correct, that this is a good idea.
Why make it a governmental program? I have heard stories on NPR of excellent charities/NGOs doing this sort of work in Harlem. So now, they will be redundant, while folks assigned from the head office in Washington come down to handle the situation?
Or, more likely, grants will flow to the politically correct community organizers who now get a new revenue stream.
p.s. And what about the States or local communities handling this? Personally, I think individual states might have some differences on this sort of issue that a federal program will gloss over.
Let's see, where can we get a group of community experts that can quickly staff this agency….
Sounds like a job tailor made for ACORN to me.
Let's see, Administration for Care or Raising of Newborns?
We're such silly freedom-lovers. When will we realize that it takes a village, I mean, Big Government, to raise a child?
The latest Obama slogan: "All your baby are belong to us." You have no chance to survive make your time!
In AD 2009, war was beginning…
Of all people, Chuck Norris brings that point home with a vengeance.
Heh. Nice. Well done.
Because I thought that Chuck Norris did everything with a vengeance.
My favorite: If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
That's comedy genius. I'm still laughing two days later.
The left (correctly) has been very keen on the idea of keeping government out of your bedroom. Nine months later and they want the government crawling all over the house.
Nice – So if you foolishly choose to excercise your 'choice' and turn it into a child, you WILL raise it according to the approved government teachings.
Home visits by government child care experts? Sounds like a great idea to me, but I think the McMartin family (of McMartin preschool fame) or the citizens of Wenatchee, Washington may differ.
I thought that the article implied that this *was* supposed to be implemented by the States and agencies on the local level.
That doesn't make it good, however, and explains why the bill seems to require them to target particular communities expected to need the service. The Feds are laying out what the State is required to do.
The State, to prove that it is adhering to the law and in good old fashioned CYA fashion will make sure that they can show that every effort has been made… and the only proof of that is that familys "choose" to take advantage of the service. This is exactly how something "optional" on the books becomes "required" in reality.
A failure of families to request home visits would be proof that services are being denied and those required by law to offer the services will be liable.

Farrell Dobbs, the Socialist Workers Party candidate for President, predicted that Republican Thomas E. Dewey would capture the White House on this day in 1948. Dewey was leading President Truman by double digits in most public opinion polls at the time.
Speaking at a press conference in Pittsburgh, the soft-spoken Dobbs, conceding that his own Trotskyist party didn't have a snowball's chance of winning the presidency, also predicted that the country would undergo a major political realignment after Dewey's victory, resulting in the virtual disintegration of the Democratic Party. The Democrats, of course, were already feeling the strain of a possible double rupture by virtue of former Vice President Henry A. Wallace's Progressive Party candidacy on the left, as well as the Dixiecrat candidacy of South Carolina's J. Strom Thurmond on the party's right.
Embarking on the first of four consecutive bids for the nation's highest office five weeks earlier in Seattle where he lent his party's support to striking Boeing workers, Dobbs, the son of a coal miner, first gained national attention for his role in the historic Minneapolis Teamsters strike in 1934 — a work stoppage described as "one of the greatest labor battles in U.S. history."
Involving not only rank-and-file truck drivers and warehouse workers but thousands of other Minneapolis workers who joined in solidarity, the 1934 Teamster Rebellion, transforming the 75,000-member Teamsters from a craft union to a kind of industrial union while laying the foundation for a strong union tradition across the Midwest, helped launch a four-year surge in industrial unionism in the United States.
Given his experience in the Minneapolis strike, it wasn't surprising that Dobbs, who left the American Federation of Labor nine years earlier to devote all of his time and energy to politics — serving as editor of The Militant, the party's newspaper, from 1943-48 and as the party's national chairman and national secretary for the next quarter century — spent much of the 1948 campaign on the picket line, joining striking workers in various industries who were fighting for higher wages and better working conditions.
In October, the SWP held two rousing street meetings on the San Francisco waterfront where the 41-year-old Dobbs addressed approximately 600 striking longshoremen and other shipyard workers. "Bring up that strong left arm of independent political action to match your strong right of economic action," he exhorted the maritime strikers. "Away with company-unionism in politics. Form your own party, based on the trade unions and take the power away from the corrupt boss parties."
Described by Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa as "the architect of the tactics" that created the modern Teamsters union, the former truck driver and ex-Teamster official was joined on the Socialist Workers Party's ticket that year by Dr. Grace Carlson, a former psychology professor and university lecturer-turned-party organizer from Minneapolis.
Like Dobbs, Carlson had been among the eighteen Trotskyists convicted of violating the notorious Smith Act in 1941, making it a federal crime to advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government, and served a sixteen-month stint in federal prison. She had also been an antiwar candidate for the U.S. Senate on the party's ticket in 1940, shortly after joining the Socialist Workers Party.
Carlson, who earned only thirty dollars a week as a party organizer — often relying on the generosity of party members to provide her groceries and other basic necessities— long maintained that she had merely "predicted violence in the change-over from a capitalist to a socialist form of government," adding that "there is a considerable legal gap between predicting and advocating."
Denouncing the two major parties and Henry Wallace's Progressive Party as representatives of "decaying capitalism" the SWP called for government ownership of all basic industries, including nationalization of the banking industry, a ban on commodity speculation, a six-hour workday and a thirty-hour week, repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act and other laws hostile to organized labor, and withdrawal of all U.S. troops from foreign soil.
Among other things, the party also called for an end to segregation and the complete eradication of Jim Crow laws. The party also pushed for fair ballot access laws and lowering the voting age to eighteen.
Appearing on the ballot in eleven states — Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin — and waging write-in efforts in California, Ohio and elsewhere, the Dobbs-Carlson ticket garnered 13,614 votes nationally during the party's inaugural presidential campaign in 1948.
In addition to the Dobbs-Carlson ticket, the SWP, which traced its origins back to James P. Cannon and Max Shachtman's Communist League of America in 1928 — an expelled faction of the Communist Party USA loyal to Leon Trotsky — fielded at least a dozen other candidates that year, including former Militant editor and author George Breitman, a founding member of the party who ran for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey.
Vincent R. Dunne, a seasoned veteran of the IWW who, along with his brothers Miles and Grant and Swedish-born socialist Carl Skoglund, worked closely with Dobbs during the bitterly-fought Minneapolis Teamsters strike, also campaigned on the party's ticket as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota.
The fashionably-dressed Myra Tanner Weiss of Los Angeles, the daughter of a wealthy investment banker who ran for Congress in California's 19th congressional district, also appeared on the party's ticket that autumn. Weiss, who waged two quixotic campaigns for mayor of Los Angeles — losing badly in 1945 and again in 1949 — later served as Dobbs' vice-presidential co-star in the 1952, 1956 and 1960 presidential campaigns.

WEF Discussion Forums
Laboratory Management and Technical Issues
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
We went the other way and decommissioned a LIMS by another vendor and chose Promium's Element. We're very happy with Element, and it has vastly increased productivity in our wastewater lab. Particular good points: very low initial cost for high value; excellent installation experience; excellent tech support.
Element's "data tool" app is so good, we switched and put on the shelf a very expensive stand-alone product ($30K!!).
Chuck Lytle,
City of Portland, OR
We use Element by Promium but I plan to switch in the next couple of years. I do think the product is good for a small lab but maybe not for a medium lab. My lab has just outgrown what Promium can provide. Their documentation - especially on LIMS administrative tasks - is extrenely poor. Their support use to be great but now is almost non-existant. Plus there are no user group meetings and interaction between Promium users is almost non-existant on either their website or their Linked In discussion forum.
They have a product called Client Connect which is included free with Element. This is a huge plus. The program allows a lab's client to log-in over the web and see their data and download reports. However, the documentation is very poor. We spent several weeks trying to implement it but continually ran into issues. We even had their guru on the phone with us and our web site consultant to no avail. The guru tried to reinstall the product several times with no success. We finally got the product developer on a conference call and discovered that the instructions for installing the product and setting up security were wrong. Very frustrating!
We are now dealing with an issue where we subcontract out some analysis to a nationally known laboratory that does not have Element LIMS. Element will not accept the generic EDD format used by most commercial LIMS. Thus our contract lab has been trying to work with Promium to develop an EDD format that Element will accept and the folks at Promium keep missing the deadlines.
Again- I think Promium is a good product for a small inhouse LIMS that doesn't have to generate many reports, interface with other programs such as Linko or need to import EDDs. It is very cost effective. Hoever if you are a lab with more than 5 to 10 analysts with multiple customers and need some advanced features such as interfacing with other programs, tracking of complaints or tracking of training- I would look elsewhere.
We are a small WW plant lab doing simple stuff such as BOD and SS. The rest is done by contract labs. The lab bought HACH WIMMs more than a year ago but did not implement using it.
Does anyone have experience with WIMMs in a small lab enviroment? Especially using worksheets to calculate results and the importing of EDDs from contract labs?

News Detail
Service-Learning Students, Faculty, Partners Honored
Service-learning has become a familiar term on campus, as more and more students enroll in service-learning courses. And on Thursday, April 10, the Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement hosted the Civic Engagement Award Ceremony to showcase the service-learning work from this past year and recognize individuals who have gone above and beyond in their work, epitomizing the true meaning of service-learning.
The Student Civic Engagement Award was presented to Cole Lachance-Tofany. The Civic Engagement Award for Community Partners was awarded to Tina Bennett, Manager of Volunteer Services at CP Rochester. And Dr. Jeff Liles, Associate Professor of Education, received the Civic Engagement Award for Faculty.
Lachance-Tofany, a junior History Adolescence and Special Education Major, was honored for his work with his alma mater, Arcadia Middle School. He assisted faculty in producing a student musical of "Give My Regards to Broadway." As the Director of Promotions and Community Relations for Fisher Players, it was a natural fit. And, as he became involved in the project, "he performed well beyond his required 10 hours of service, because of his love for teaching and performing, and because of his desire to see the production through until show time."
Bennett, who has been employed with CP Rochester for 27 years, was honored for her work over the years with the College as a service-learning partner. This past semester, students in the Social Change through Service course worked with Bennett to provide life skills videos to the organization's DayHab program adults.
Liles was recognized for his work with the Rochester Early College and International High School and the Red Cross Next Generation Leaders program that was part of his course in adolescent development. In addition, he has been the recipient of a Bank of America grant for the College Ready Service-Learning program which he started with East High School. In 2011, he helped found the Rochester Participatory Educational Research Collaborative (PERC), a group of high school students, East High Faculty, and local college faculty. After a year of research and gathering student opinion, PERC collaboratively planned and filmed a 50-minute documentary called, "College Ready." The 50-minute documentary compares the differences between students in the city and suburbs when it comes to college readiness. It takes a closer look at common assumptions about college readiness, and frames the critique in an urban, student-centered, research-based cultural and political context.
"The purpose of the event is to recognize and highlight the contributions and positive outcomes of students' service-learning work as a result of their collaborations with community partners. Service-learning has gained traction and importance at Fisher because of its ability to enhance students' development of academic knowledge and skills, civic and cultural awareness, and communication and professional skills," said Dr. Lynn Donahue, Director of the Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement.
According to Donahue, during the College's service-learning pilot year, there were 11 course sections and 166 students. Today, there are 44 course sections and 532 students involved in service-learning.
During the ceremony, several students from a variety of service-learning courses presented posters of their work this semester.
In addition, Donahue recognized Dr. Deb Vanderbilt, Professor of English, and Dr. Jenna Rossi, Associate Professor of American Studies, who serve as co-chairs of the Service-Learning Advisory Board. Matt Cardin, Director of the Career Center, and Sally Vaughan, Director of Community Service, also helped organize the event.
