Sarah Fuller, Harp Lecturer
Sarah Fuller is the principal harpist of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra and has been fulfilling the duties of principal harp with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra since 2007. In a Baltimore Sun review of the Baltimore Symphony, classical music critic Tim Smith claimed that "...the refined harp playing by [Ms.] Fuller stood out" and he hailed her performance as an "impressive flash" in the orchestral texture.
Ms. Fuller is an active chamber musician and frequently performs with her flute, viola and harp trio, Trio Cloisonnè, on series such as the Chamber Music by Candlelight in Baltimore and the Baltimore Symphony's chamber music series in Frederick, MD. She is also a member of the notable Philadelphia contemporary ensemble, Network for New Music, and has recently been featured on a recording of the works of Bernard Rands with members of the group. In January, 2009, Ms. Fuller was the solo artist on an evening of harp music for the Delaware Symphony's Champagne Chamber Music Series, which was broadcast on Philadelphia's NPR station WHYY.
Ms. Fuller holds a master's degree in music from Indiana University and studied at the New England Conservatory and the Royal Conservatory of Music's Glenn Gould School for her bachelor's degree. Her teachers have included Judy Loman of the Toronto Symphony, Anne Hobson Pilot of the Boston Symphony, Nancy Allen of the New York Philharmonic, Alice Chalifoux of the Cleveland Orchestra, and distinguished professor at Indiana University, Susann McDonald.
Ms. Fuller is a former faculty member of the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia was also the assistant director from 2006-2009 for the Saratoga Harp Colony, an advanced training ground for the world's next generation of professional harpists that was founded by the Philadelphia Orchestra's principal harpist, Elizabeth Hainen.
Kenneth Elpus, Assistant Professor of Music Education, choral specialist
Kenneth Elpus is Assistant Professor of Music Education at the University of Maryland, where he teaches courses in choral music education and directs the UMD Women's Chorus. Ken earned his PhD in music education from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. He holds the Bachelor of Music degree from The College of New Jersey and the Master of Music degree from Northwestern, where he studied voice with Karen Brunssen and choral conducting with Robert A. Harris.
Prior to beginning doctoral study, Ken was for seven years the Director of Choral Music at Hopewell Valley Central High School in Pennington, NJ. Under his direction, Hopewell's choirs collaborated with Canadian choral composer Stephen Hatfield to record Floating Upstream, a full-length recording of the composer's eclectic works available internationally in physical form and on iTunes.

Lynn Ann Casey / Chief Executive Officer
Meet Arc Aspicio | View all Insights by Arc Aspicio
From our early days as entrepreneurs – in our basement with our dog, Magnum – we have focused on being a consulting firm, not just a company that puts people on projects, but one that provides significant executive attention, applies methods and innovations, and achieves long-term collaborative partnerships with our clients.
According to a popular management joke, new executives should blame their predecessors when facing their first crisis. When facing their second crisis, they should reorganize everything. Jokes are funny when they're seen as plausible. Reorganizations show action, produce change, and create opportunities for new leadership. However, are reorganizations worth the disruption?
The private sector has long been on board with the overwhelming benefits of Design Thinking. Empathizing with the end user during iterations of creative exploring, experimenting, and prototyping results in the most successful solutions. But the Government has not been quite so quick to adapt. One arm of the Department of Defense (DoD) is working to change this.
Washington, DC, June 7, 2017 — Arc Aspicio plans to host an inaugural Design Thinking Forum featuring a discussion on how Federal leaders can innovate solutions to create the future of Government. Design Thinking is a human-centered innovation process that emphasizes observation, collaboration, fast learning, visualization of ideas, rapid concept prototyping, and concurrent business analysis, which ultimately generates innovation and increased mission outcomes.
New technologies are popping on the scene every day – artificial intelligence, Big Data, visualizations – and the rate of technology change continues to increase rapidly. You might think the best approach is to jump into Agile software development to get the new tech as soon as possible. But sometimes it's better to slow down before you accelerate.
As a growing consulting firm focused on the Federal government, we have something in common with our clients. Our workforces must both increase their focus on habitually using innovation techniques to solve problems – getting results more quickly and more broadly.
"Employees at all levels are too busy 'doing their jobs' and 'fighting fires' to devote time or pay heed to strategic initiatives." It's a common complaint. Academic literature has confirmed that 'firefighting' takes up much of the manager's job and offers extensive advice on how to stop fighting fires – and even how to suppress the urge to do so.
Government agencies and businesses must embrace innovation and strategic thinking to keep up with today's changing society, rising demands, and complex problems. Encouraging organizations to fully adopt innovative thinking, however, is difficult. Organizations are often focused on their daily activities and have limited time to discover new approaches. In addition, employees often choose to stay with proven, mainstream solutions because they fear wasting resources or failure.
Agency leaders have more than a little to do these days. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released guidance for implementing Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda on Federal management and human capital. The Comprehensive Plan for Reforming the Federal Government and Reducing the Federal Civilian Workforce (M-17-22) directs agencies to create comprehensive plans to enhance mission focus, streamline operations, and improve workforce effectiveness and efficiency.
As information sharing has become more common across local, state, and federal agencies, homeland security partners need tools to manage this critical data. SharePoint has emerged as an information sharing tool that can assist emergency managers, law enforcement agencies, and others across the homeland security enterprise with the sharing of sensitive data with internal and external partners, quickly and securely.
The pace of change is accelerating. Government agencies, and their employees, must find new ways to support their stakeholders and manage internal operations in the face of changing mission expectations and potential budget cuts. Guiding the workforce through the change is messy and challenging and is essential to successful implementation of innovative ideas, technologies, and processes.
Despite new methods, agile processes, and more certified project managers than ever, large, complex programs are not achieving mission goals faster or more cost effectively. Can legislation make a difference?
Two main types of problems can make it difficult to make data-driven decisions: technical and cultural. Technical difficulties could include data that is messy, incomplete, or split between different departments or components. Cultural factors might include a resistance to change, an environment that favors trusting your instincts, or a belief that things are fine the way they are.
When it comes to retaining your workforce, one feature correlates to 87% increases in retention and 57% increases in employee effectiveness. It is not compensation. It is employee engagement. Engagement measures an employee's emotional commitment to an organization and willingness to use discretionary effort to achieve organizational goals. In other words, engaged employees strive to exceed the status quo.
Gratitude is one of a great leader's most powerful tools. It creates positive energy among an organization and the sense of appreciation permeates through the work the collective group is performing. Influential leaders listen to the needs of their colleagues and express gratitude. This helps them bring out the potential in the people they lead and inspire them to achieve what is most important to them and to the project.
Washington, DC, March 13, 2017 — The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) announced the two teams that join the Arc Aspicio family. The addition of the New York and Utah teams bring Arc Aspicio's total number of dog and handler teams to six.
Washington, DC, March 10, 2017 — Consulting Magazine announced Arc Aspicio Design Thinking Practice Lead, Christina Tierno, as one of its 2017 Rising Stars of the Profession. Consulting Magazine's Rising Stars of the Profession is an annual list of 35 up-and-comers in the consulting profession under the age of 35.
Design Thinking requires two things that don't always come naturally in Government initiatives: empathy and rapid change. However, Government leaders are constantly challenged to identify and implement Quick Wins to inspire their workforce as they solve big challenges.
Washington, DC, February 14, 2017 — Arc Aspicio started a pro bono project for Courtney's House, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the victims and survivors of human trafficking. Arc Aspicio supports Courtney's House on their priority needs.
Project Management best practices and methods continue to evolve to address the biggest challenges Government agencies face in today's market. The increased use of Agile and the move from traditional waterfall methodologies is fairly common in Information Technologies. Projects use Agile methods such as Scrum or Kanban, and organizations invest a lot of time and effort to make this cultural shift on projects.

As buyer for the Barnes Shop, I look for products that fit the homes and lifestyles of our visitors, while reinforcing the visual experience they have had in our galleries. Our current exhibition, Ellsworth Kelly: Sculpture on the Wall introduced a look that is, at first glance, entirely new to the Barnes. A primary focus of the shop is handmade work crafted by local, regional, and national artists, so I set about finding artists whose work reflected (deliberately or inadvertently) Kelly's influence on contemporary art and design. I wanted the ideas of his large-scale, abstract sculptures translated into functional or decorative objects on a domestic scale.
One of the resulting finds featured in our Shop this summer is the ceramic work of artist Jennifer Fisher, from Berkeley, California. Jennifer works in slip-cast clay, producing simple, geometric designs, adorned with flat planes of glaze in primary colors. My favorite is her four-part "Silhouette Vase," a classic vase shape segmented into quarters. She leaves bare the natural white clay on one side (either on the inside panels or the outside curve) and glazes the other side in a solid, bright color. The pieces can be arranged to create repeating rhythms of multiple vases, or full or demi vases of various colors and patterns. Jennifer's simplified, reduced forms take the easily recognizable shape of a familiar domestic object but introduce unexpected lines, curves, negative space, and variations, through the many possible arrangements of the pieces. They make you look twice.
JFish Designs, Silhouette Vase variations
This is what I saw immediately when I discovered Jennifer's work at the San Francisco Gift Fair last winter: a contemporary craftsperson, who takes a very simple line or curve and creates new forms and patterns with repeating variations of that line. I thought of the sloping aluminum panels of Kelly's Sculpture for a Large Wall, some straight-edged, some curved, some colored, some left plain, and all the harmonies and rhythms a simplified form can take, repeated over a large surface. Many people may enjoy these vases as attractive, contemporary decorations for the home or office, but to me they say, "Look again!" And that's something else they have in common with Ellsworth Kelly's work: its most fun element is that it looks simple, but the more you look, the more you see.

Dell's laser printers are built for it by other manufacturers and the B1265dfw is made by Samsung. Nothing wrong with that, as the South Korean company makes some of the best laser printers around, but in the past we've noted that the Dell incarnations can be more expensive both to buy and to run.
This is a tall, small-footprint machine in Dell's jet black livery, broken only by the light grey control panel, which swings out from the front to a more convenient angle.
The printer has no protruding paper trays, as the main 250-sheet tray is flush with the front and the click-down panel just above opens for feeding envelopes or other special media. Paper feeds out to a tall gap in the printer's front panel and you'll probably get away without extending the paper stop.
At the top, the 40-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is smoothly integrated into the overall design with a two-stage, flip-over cover, which becomes the ADF feed tray. The scanner lid is well sprung and stays open for you to position an original; the hinges extend to make scanning bound documents easier.
The control panel includes a 16-character by 2-line LCD display, a fax number pad and a menu navigation ring which works in the opposite orientation to most, moving into the menu using the up axis and out of it using down.
At the back of the machine are sockets for USB, 10/100 Ethernet and for phoneline and third-party handset. Many people will choose to use the wireless interface, though, as this gives access to direct print from Android and iOS devices.
The single piece drum and toner cartridge slots in from the front once you've pulled down the hinged front panel. It's a little fiddly to locate, but once you have the hang it takes just a few seconds.
Dell includes a copy of Nuance PaperPort 14 with the B1265dfw to help manage your documents and provide OCR support when scanning. The scanner has a surprisingly high resolution of 1200ppi optical, enhanced up to 4800ppi.

Dell B1265dfw MFP Monochrome Laser Wireless All-In-One 200 Page Count w/ Toner$250.00 View Item
I just purchased the Dell B1265dfw all-in-one machine. I HATE it. It is completely incompatible with MAC laptops. There are NO instructions on how to operate it but I wouldn't need instructions if there were ANY buttons on the machine that indicate what to do. It is the most difficult machine to try to operate. I purchased it because it was on sale at Staples for $119 (reduced from $270). Now I know why--they couldn't give these things away. I'm returning it tomorrow and going back to Canon or Brother which I've had in the past and love. They may be more in price but at least I can get them to work.

Your dog is Angelina Jolie!
Just like with Hollywood superhero Angelina Jolie, they broke the mold after they created Milli Lilly Vanilli!
Defying the conventional meaning of the word pawpular, Milli Lilly Vanilli can't scratch behind an ear without it being reported and talked about. Milli Lilly Vanilli leaves pets of the opposite sex blubbering and babbling nonsensically after each encounter, their cuteness and charm receptors bubbling over with excitement. Always one to entice a broad audience, Milli Lilly Vanilli not only loves to strut her stuff on the dogwalk, but digs every chance she gets to make a difference, adopt a pet in need or dish out for her favorite charity.
yep that me :d

3X Slimming Power
FDA warns against using this diet pill.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
3X Slimming Power is a weight loss supplement that contain a blend of unique Chinese herbs that may prevent the digestion of dietary fat, hence reducing its absorption by the body. Its special formula may help to burn, eliminate and reduce fat. Its main ingredient, lingzhi is commonly used in Asian herbal medicine to detoxify and cleanse the body.
3X Slimming Power should be used in conjunction with exercise.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- May help to initiate weight loss
- FDA warning says not to take this pill because of unlisted and dangerous ingredients
- Not a long-term solution to sustained weight loss
- May cause side effects like dry mouth, headaches and dizziness
3X Slimming Power contains lingzhi, ebony, fox-nut, tuckahoe, seman pruni, dioscoreae, wheat germ.
According to the FDA, 3X Slimming Power also contains sibutramine, a relative to the amphetamine chemical family. The FDA's December 2008 report states that the makers of this diet pill do not disclose sibutramine as an ingredient, and that it has dangerous health effects like heart attacks and possibly cancer.ADMINISTRATION
One capsule of 3X Slimming Power is taken before breakfast. As you start to lose weight, you can increase your dosage to two capsules once daily before breakfast.DIET and EXERCISE
There are no specific dietary guidelines you should follow while taking 3X Slimming Power but you are encouraged to exercise in order to facilitate weight loss.CONCLUSION
3X Slimming Power is a weight loss supplement that contains several Chinese herbs that are not commonly found in Western weight loss supplements. Many who have used this product report losing weight but also with side effects.
Weight loss can only be accomplished with a proper low-calorie eating plan and consistent exercise. Any product that claims to help you lose weight without changing your eating habits must be considered with caution.
Talk to your doctor before using this product, and be aware of its FDA warning.Common Misspellings

I started taking the 2 day diet Japan Lingzhi about 3 years ago when I was working at a bakery. I was getting all the free food I wanted during my shift and I took full advantage! About two months after starting that job I went clothes shopping and was slapped in the face with the realization that I had gone up 4 pants sizes without noticing. It was a harsh reality that I had to go from wearing Juniors Clothes to Plus Size clothes.
I was frantic about how much weight I had gained and immediately went on a research binge about diets and plans to lose weight. First I started with the Slim Fast plan. It was very expensive and loaded with sugar not to mention the shaves taste really chalky, but I kept it up for about 2 weeks and then I started exorcising with the Flirty Girl Fitness (totally helped me to lose about 4 pounds in the first week) but then I ended up getting super sick with chicken pox and I barely ate for 3 weeks which caused me to lose about 10 pounds. Over all getting sick was a better diet than the actual diet and exorcise I was doing (I am not condoning not eating especially when sick but until you have painful sores covering the outside and inside of your entire body you can't know how painful it is even to swallow your own saliva).
After I was healthy enough to rejoin the world I started to regain the weight I had just lost. That is when I got a junk mail message in my inbox about the 2 Day Diet. I got a discount on my first order so I thought, eh why not? I bought them and within a month I had lost between 15-20 pounds. I was thrilled but a bit nervous because those results were too fast! The next month I lost another 15 pounds and this made me nervous so I started to only take 1 pill a day and my weight loss tapered off and I maintained my weight.
Starting on my weight loss journey I weighed 235 and less than 4 months later I was down to 170. I really felt good about myself and I noticed I had tons of energy and more confidence because of my weight loss. The only downsides I noticed was definitely the dry mouth! I would always carry water around with me but would be instantly thirsty a moment later. I read how to treat dry mouth and a ton of good ideas came up, the only thing that helped me though was carrying around the Listerine pocket sprays because it really produces saliva. The other side effect was sometimes I could feel my heart beating really fast and it made me a bit light headed. I am assuming that this is because of the huge amounts of caffeine in the pills paired with the little amounts of food I was eating.
Yesterday I was looking at some old pictures of myself and saw how much thinner and happier I looked 3 years ago. I decided to start taking the pills again and change my diet to a much healthier one, and I plan to start taking daily hour long walks.
I am very excited for the results since I already know these pills work and they do work fast!
How can i buy it?
I'm in Australia
they do work
Do 3x power capsules contain Sibutramine? hello. or 3x power capsules contain Sibutramine? If yes, what quantity. because the packaging is not written. Thanks
How can i buy,and Price please
found official site hey guyz, i found this site http://www.3xslimmingpowerdiet.com/Fake_Proof_Inquiry I think it s official site. there has some pictures how to know real and fake 3X slimming power.
hello I live in Canada (montreal) where can i find these pills. Genuine pills please... I tried the 2day diet onces it worked but then someone sold me the fakes ones...so upset. Please tell me where i can find the 2x or 3x.
i have started taking 3x slimming pills for a month now and i lost alot of weight i was 83kg and now i am down to 70kg in just one month this product is AAMAAZING!!!!! i dont excercise but i just control my eating now
Finished the bottle, I purchased thru Sears bay800 and did not loose any weight at all.
Been taking the pill for a lil over 2 weeks now and I have no appetite, I have to remember to eat at times but I do drink alot of water. I have lost 10 pounds so far. I feel good. I just started exercising 3 times a week so I am hoping to lose weight faster with the exercise.
I've taken 3x for a month now and I've lost 16 lbs. I am excersicing 5 times a week for an hour. So far I really like this product.
I first started taking the 3x slimming pill back in early 2009 to lose weight before senior prom. I went from 145lbs down to 125 between January and early May. After prom I stopped taking the pills because I had reached my goal. The pills definitely curbed my appetite - I found that I had energy to accomplish tasks when bored rather than eat. I also noticed that I was extremely thirsty, so I drank water almost constantly throughout the day. Those were the only effects I noticed.
Fast forward a few years, I found myself at 165 lbs in December. Realizing that diet and exorcise alone was not working (i recently started a sit-in-front-of-a-computer-all-day job), I returned to 3x slimming to boost weight loss again. Again, I find that my appetite is definitely curbed, and so far I have brought myself back to 150lbs.
However, this second go at 3x has brought more side effects to my attention. Either these effects didnt bother me before or I never noticed them last time:
-Thirsty 80% of the day. Always need to have a drink near me.
-Troubles sleeping. I find that I wake up two or three times a night now. Once my body has had anywhere between 6-8 hours of sleep, it WILL wake up. I can't seem to sleep in at all.
-Anxiety. It's not to an extent where it's uncomfortable, just slightly noticeable, like I've had just one coffee too many for a day.
-Restless legs. This is a huge factor to my sleep problems as well. It seems as though, since taking this pill, I have a sort of restless leg syndrome.
All of these side effects stop immediately after stop using the pill. I will specifically not take the pills on weekends so I can catch up on sleep.
All in all, if you can handle the annoying side effects, then this pill definitely works and helps you to lose weight.
ive used 3x and its absolutely amazing! ive lost 18 lbs in 16 wks:) with exercise
I lost 15lbs in 4 1/2 weeks after I had my son. I had been overweight for at least 3 years and could not loose weight with diet or exc. i was tuck not matter what I tried. This really works! I got over the dry mouthsyptoms after the 3rd week or so... it helps to drink plenty of water. The more water I drank the less I had dry mouth. I am energized through out the day and take it first thing in the morning. For mom of 6 like me with a full-time job, it feels great to have tons of energy through out the day....so much to do. I would recommend this to everyone even if you just want to loose a few pounds to anyone who struggles with weight loss like I did.
i am yet to start it... have severe thyroid problems and have been stacking the weight on like there is no tomorrow. went from 65 kgs to 79 in 4 weeks. not a good feeling!
Please don't be too concerned about FDA approval. any 'administration' that pushes the inclusion of ASPARTAME into our foods (a chemical compound silently responsible for most of societies cancers and birth deformities) should really not have the right to comment on a herbal weightloss product that has such great results for much... shame our weightloss has had to become so political!
good luck everyone and hope you all achieve a great successful outcome!

Bio: After a dynamic locational childhood moving from Central Jersey to Atlanta, Georgia to Orange County, California, Nia and her family finally settled in Montclair, New Jersey just 11 miles away from New York City.

During her Sophomore year CC became her new home as she discovered her passion for environmental justice. She remains a staunch activist, and her social justice interests lie at the crux of intersectionality studies. One of her favorite classes at CC was a block abroad in Berlin in which she was able to study the interesting systems of oppression at large in post-Holocaust Germany. Outside of school you can find Nia dancing in public, making up spontaneous jingles, or listening to a podcast.

Favorite Quote: "Our minds, uncultivated, go where they will, to the till or trough, but that trained and focused, they can be put to good, and even selfless purpose." -David Gessner
Major: Environmental Policy
Minor: Journalism
Bio: Growing up, Liz had the best of both the East Coast and Colorado, spending as much time in Steamboat Springs, Colorado as possible while not in her hometown of Wilton, Connecticut. After searching primarily around the Southeast, she stumbled upon Colorado College and immediately fell in love with its vibrant community and breathtaking location. Throughout her time at CC, Liz has focused on her passion for journalism. She formerly served as a staff writer, the news editor, and the editor in chief of the college's newspaper, The Catalyst. Currently, she is working with two students to launch an environmental-themed magazine called The Popular to draw attention to environmental issues at CC and in Colorado Springs. She has also been lucky enough to take three blocks off-campus, and receive both a Keller Family Venture Grant to study in Iceland as well as a Ritt Kellogg Memorial Grant to hike the northern-most 160 miles of the Continental Divide Trail this October. Liz spends most of her free time hiking, skiing, going to concerts, cooking, and lounging in her backyard.

From: Madison, Wisconsin
Favorite Quote: "I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become" –The Once-ler (Dr. Seuss)
Major: Classics
Minor: Education
Bio: A few years back, Paige realized she had spent the previous 18 years in Wisconsin and had yet to tip a cow. Taking this as a sign that it was time to venture out of her beloved childhood environment (endless miles of corn and flatness), she decided to go to CC and see a mountain. Indeed, she proceeded to encounter several mountains and has since refined her passions to include a love of hiking, sunflowers, making pizza and dogs. She is a classics major because who doesn't love talking about wildly improbable, fantastical tales, and is minoring in education because kids rock. Other notable activities Paige has involved herself in at CC are 1) being an RA and inserting Harry Potter themes into each resident's life whether or not they knew they loved HP yet and 2) running an event called Dance Workshop once a semester and 3) studying environmental and social justice in New Zealand and petting a lamb. Paige is happy to join the Admission team and get prospective students as excited about CC as she is.

Outside of the classroom DeAira is heavily involved in theater through the department as well as with a group called Women In Comedy and takes part in many on campus organizations that mentors, supports, and feeds students such as the BSU, Carnivore Club, SAIL Program, and as a Residential Advisor.

Anjolenna Lutz '17
Admission Fellow
From: Woodland Park, Colorado
Favorite Quote: "Free time is the enemy of progress." - Casey Neistat
Major: French
Minor: Spanish
Bio: Born in Kansas, but raised in Colorado, Anjolenna came to CC hoping to find a community that challenged her. She decided that being able to communicate with different people all around the world was one way to achieve that, so she started studying Romance languages, a major which led her to study in France, Peru and Chile. Although she loves being on campus, surrounded by mountains, Anjolenna's time abroad has sparked a desire to make her home elsewhere, and she hopes to pursue work outside of the country after graduating. Outside the classroom, Anjolenna spends her time actively engaging with the YouTube community online, and occasionally creates her own videos documenting her travels and experiences. She is also a part of the Christian community on campus and leads a Navigators Bible study once a week. Anjolenna is excited to join the admission staff and is looking to encourage high school students to get pumped about college and CC.

Major: Psychology
Minor: Feminist and Gender Studies
Bio: Born in Salt Lake City and raised in Idaho, Beck loves the Rocky mountains too much to leave for long, although they briefly flirted with early college in Massachusetts. After transferring to CC, Beck found the Psychology department, where they've pursued research on the facial feedback hypothesis and the comparative neuromorphology of Betz cells (including their first published paper in the Journal of Comparative Neurology)! Searching for a minor was more difficult, as Art Studio, Anthropology, Biochemistry, and Education were all in the running before Feminist and Gender Studies won the race. Outside of class, Beck can be found folding origami, painting, cooking, eating, making bad puns, and dreaming about joining Starfleet.

Favorite Quote: "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." - Anaïs Nin
Major: Sociology
Minor: Nonviolence
Bio: After a fairly nomadic childhood that led her from Roswell, NM to an island in Michigan to Fort Worth, TX Madelene chose to settle down for a four-year academic adventure at Colorado College. Madelene tried to declare a Sociology major after her very first course at CC but was advised to give it some time, which changed nothing and she eventually did it anyways while adding a Nonviolence minor. A two-year Resident Advisor and a huge fan of Rastall's tater tots, Madelene makes the most out of every experience and opportunity CC provides. She recently returned from a semester in Rwanda where she studied post-genocide reconciliation and met at least one hippopotamus. Madelene is excited to join admissions so she can finally have an outlet for her endless questions.

Drew Turley '17
Admission Fellow
From: Denver, Colorado
Favorite Quote: "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." - Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille
Major: History/Philosophy
Minor: Arts of London and Florence
Bio: Born in Denver Colorado, Drew's previous life as a commercial dancer moved him from LA to Tokyo to Sydney to New York. The non-linier nature of existence led Drew back to his home state where he began to explore higher education. After studying pre-engineering, and economics as the Community College of Denver, he came to Colorado College to deepen his understanding of how humans attempt to know and master the world. Little did he know, but his first class at CC, European Intellectual History, would re-cast his perspective and shape his path at the college. He spent all but 1 block of his Junior year studying abroad in Europe traveling through Paris, Florence and London. When not engaged in historical or philosophical inquiry, Drew spends his time generally harassing the Theater and Dance department and majors trying to involve himself in the numerous performance opportunities on campus. When that doesn't work he retires with his friends to watch cartoons, play board games, and plot how to take over the world.

Major: Anthropology, French
Bio: Born in Seattle and raised in London, Maya spent almost her entire academic life at competitive girls' schools in the UK. After graduating from high school, she came to Colorado College in search of the Liberal Arts and a change of pace. Maya is a double major in French and Anthropology, and spent the fall semester of her junior year in Senegal studying French language, and West African culture. After finishing her semester abroad, Maya was awarded a Venture Grant to extend her stay and study the impacts of the French education system on Senegalese national identity. Maya cites the Keller Family Venture Grants as one of her favorite things about CC, with another one of her research projects taking her to Japan, where she studied the effects of kawaii (cuteness) on gender expression and gender roles.

An SEC Rule on Global Pay Could Embarrass CompaniesBy
Every year an insurer called Protective Life (PL) crunches the numbers for its shareholders to show the cost of pensions promised to executives and derivative instruments used to hedge risk. The calculations are pretty complex. Yet when it comes to figuring out how the total compensation of its chief executive officer compares with the median pay of its employees, Protective wants to take a pass.
The Birmingham (Ala.) insurer is one of 18 businesses and industry groups urging the Securities and Exchange Commission to dial back a requirement to publish such a pay ratio under the new Dodd-Frank financial reform law. The rule requires U.S. publicly traded companies to determine what they pay each employee globally in salary, bonus, and benefits and then find the one whose pay falls at the exact midpoint to compare with the CEO's compensation. By disclosing this ratio, advocates say, compensation would be more transparent and accountable to investors and employees.
Others see a logistical nightmare. "It's difficult to overemphasize how burdensome this requirement could be for large employers," Alfred F. Delchamps, a senior associate counsel at Protective Life, said in an Oct. 1, 2010, letter to the SEC. For example, he wrote, it may be hard to get pension-benefits data from third-party administrators. It would cost "easily in the millions" for the biggest companies to compile the data, says Timothy J. Bartl, senior vice-president and general counsel of the Washington-based Center on Executive Compensation, an industry group. "It sounds like it would be something available at the push of a button. It isn't."
Companies are overstating the difficulties to avoid inflaming activists who think corporate pay is out of control, says Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America. Assaults on pay disparity are as old as capitalism. Management theorist Peter Drucker, who died in 2005, began arguing in the 1970s that the ratio should not exceed 25 to 1. Set against the average U.S. worker, CEO pay hit 263 to 1 in 2009, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington think tank critical of high executive pay. Median pay comparisons could make the ratio even higher. Roper says companies "do calculations more complex than this every day" and some companies with large numbers of foreign employees are trying to get their pay exempted "because they don't want to include their sweatshop workers in the ratio." She did not identify any companies.
The ratio requirement was included at the behest of Senator Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) during debate on the Dodd-Frank legislation. Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the law's co-author, says he is considering how to lessen the rule's burden, even if that means changing the law. Representative Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) wants to erase it from Dodd-Frank completely.
Darla Stuckey, senior vice-president for policy and advocacy at the Society of Corporate Secretaries & Governance Professionals, told House lawmakers in September she assumed Congress didn't intend for companies to tally their foreign workers' pay. Not so, says Menendez. "When I wrote 'all' employees of the issuer, I really did mean all employees," Menendez told the SEC in a Jan. 19 letter.
The bottom line: Companies hope to head off an SEC rule that could require embarrassing disclosures comparing CEO and median workers' pay.

This is the first short story collection from an acclaimed novelist with a wide and loyal readership. Many of the stories have won prizes, been published or broadcast; some are new, written especially for the collection.
Several feature artists, and are set in the past in a rural England; others are contemporary: stories set in London or Europe, of love glimpsed, lost, or longed for. 'In Bratislava' is the brief encounter between a lonely businessman and young student in the aftermath of communism. Two or three look at illness and mortality: in 'Last Fling', the title story, a dying woman places a lonely hearts ad.
All these stories are written with Sue Gee's insight, precision and delicacy of style and tone. Her last novel, Reading in Bed (2007) was a Daily Mail Book Club Selection; her next will be published in 2012. Poignant and haunting, immensely readable, Last Fling is the perfect book between the two.

one of the most moving and beautifully written stories that I can remember.' —Readers Books of the Year

Stylist: Andre
I started going to Andre after reading the previous review earlier this year. At the time I was so frustrated with my hair and like other curlies, I never really understood how to work with it. Luckily, I came across this page and found out about Andre. He gave me a great cut with inverted layers and did a fantastic job with making me a red head. Now I receive compliments almost daily from both men and women. Not only did Andre do a wonderful job, but he also gave me a lot of tips from applying products to preventing frizziness. I also really like that he's not pushy and really works with you. Oh! and his wife has curly hair, so you know he has lots of experience. If you are in the LA area or close by. I highly recommend Andre.

There's nothing missing on the connectivity front. On the left you'll find a modem port, a single USB port and a Blu-ray drive. Audio connectivity is where the MSI truly stands out though, as it's one of the few notebooks we've come across offering three 3.5mm audio jacks, thus supporting full 7.1 channel analogue audio. Considering many cheaper surround sound speaker systems still use this rather than digital audio, it will doubtless be an attractive option for some potential buyers.
At the notebook's front there's an IR sensor, while the back offers only another USB port and a lock slot. To the right is where most of the EX620's connectivity resides. Here we have another two USB ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, the power socket and VGA as well as HDMI video outputs. There's also a TV-antenna port, though a tuner is optional and not included in this configuration. As usual, you'll also find a memory card reader and 54mm ExpressCard slot.
Now let's take a look at what makes the EX620 tick. MSI has used the slightly long-in-the-tooth Intel T5800 Core 2 Duo processor running at a modest 2.0GHz, but this is no bad thing as it gives plenty of performance for most users while allowing the company to invest more in other components and keep the price down.
The only other sign of possible skimping is the 32-bit version of Windows Vista rather than 64-bit, which means it can't utilize the full 4GB of DDR2 RAM included. Aside from this you get plenty of hard drive storage; 320GB of it in fact. The highlight of the internals is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 discrete graphics chipset with 256MB of RAM, which delivered a playable 24fps at Medium Quality in TrackMania Nations Forever at the screen's native 1,366 x 768 resolution. Of course, the MSI is still no gaming machine, but will run a few more titles at low quality than notebooks with Intel integrated graphics while also handling some of the processing during Blu-ray playback. Other bits worth a mention are a 2.0 megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi up to Draft-N and Bluetooth 2.0.
Unfortunately, the EX620's 16in screen won't show off the Blu-ray drive's 1080p capabilities, but its lower HD Ready resolution is something most 16in notebooks in its class have in common and of course it does have a film-friendly 16:9 aspect ratio. As to the screen's quality, it's a bit of a mixed bag. On the negatives side, the glossy coating results in a wealth of reflections when there are ambient light-sources present. Viewing angles are also not the best and the panel gave an average performance in our grey-scale test, failing to distinguish between the tones at the extreme ends of the scale.
In the positives column, there is no sign of banding or backlight bleed - the latter being something manufacturers are finally getting consistently right. The reflective coating can also make colours appear with plenty of verve, if you're at the ideal viewing angle. As with most notebook displays, it will do an adequate job for films and other entertainment, but the more critical and those who require colour accuracy should consider alternatives like Dell's amazing RGB-backlit Studio XPS 16.

The American Civil Liberties Union called on the Justice Department to expand its criminal investigation of the Bush administration's torture program after a Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report was released Feb. 19.
According to an ACLU press release, the report looked at the work of the three DOJ attorneys- Steven Bradbury, John Yoo and Jay Bybee "who authorized the torture and abusive interrogation of detainees in U.S. custody through legal memoranda the three authored while at the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration."
The press release said the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the report next Friday, February 26.
Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project said:
"The OPR report confirms the central role that the Office of Legal Counsel played in developing the Bush administration's torture program, and it underscores once again that the decision to endorse torture was made by the Bush administration's most senior officials," he said.
"It also makes clear that the investigation initiated by the Justice Department last year, which focuses on 'rogue' interrogators, is too narrow. Interrogators should be held accountable where they violated the law, but the core problem was not one of rogue interrogators but one of senior government officials who knowingly authorized the gravest crimes. The Justice Department should immediately expand its investigation to encompass not just the interrogators who used torture but the senior Bush administration officials who authorized and facilitated it."

BELLEVUE, WA -- Rapid expansion of the Redbox movie-rental business fueled Coinstar Inc.'s second-quarter profit of $13.4 million, or 41¢ a share, almost double the $7 million, or 23¢ a share, posted a year earlier. Quarterly revenue rose 35% to $342.4 million. But delayed access to some new releases resulted in lower-than-expected same-store sales, prompting the company to reduce full-year guidance.
Revenue from the Redbox business climbed 44% to $271.9 million, driven by the additional placement of 7,000 self-service DVD rental and 600 coin-counting kiosks.
Same-store DVD kiosk sales rose only 3.5%, following two quarters of 21% growth. The company attributed the slowdown to new agreements with three studios that delayed Redbox's access to some new releases until 28 days after they go on sale in stores. In addition, second-quarter expenses included $2.2 million in share-based payments related to supply agreements with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment Inc., which are not requiring Redbox to delay rental of new releases.
Revenue in the company's coin-counting business grew 8.5% to $70.4 million in the second quarter as a 10% price increase offset a decline in the number of transactions.
Coinstar sold its electronic-payments unit in May, which was in line with the strategy to focus on movie rentals and coin processing. It lowered its second-quarter outlook as a result of earnings from continuing operations of 28¢ to 32¢ on revenue of $363 million to $383 million.
Reflecting the sale of the e-payment business and plans to sell its money transfer businesses as discontinued operations, the company now projects earnings for the full year will be $1.88 to $2, up from its prior forecast of $1.74 to $1.86.
But following the slowdown in second-quarter DVD volume, the company lowered its full-year revenue forecast to a range of $1.43 billion to $1.51 billion from its May projection of $1.51 billion to $1.6 billion. For the third quarter, Coinstar expects earnings from continuing operations of 46¢ to 52¢ a share on revenue of $370 million to $390 million.

Strategic Plan
Strategic Planning: What is it?
Strategic planning is a management tool. As with any management tool, it is used for one purpose only: to help an organization do a better job - to focus its energy, to ensure that members of the organization are working toward the same goals, to assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. In short, strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. (Adapted from Bryson's Strategic Planning in Public and Nonprofit Organizations)
Strategic Plan: What is it?
A strategic plan is a document that summarizes, why an organization exists, what it is trying to accomplish, and how it will go about doing so.
Strategic Planning Assessment: What did we do?
The overall objective of the assessment was to provide the administration of Marietta City Schools, the School Board and other key stakeholders with an understanding of
(1) how well the district fulfills its mission,
(2) the areas/issues that are educational priorities, and
(3) the system's performance on measures of success.
Strategic Planning Process: How did we do it?
Highlights of the process include:
- A comprehensive community engagement component to allow stakeholders to have a voice in the strategic improvement planning process,
- A diverse planning team that represented stakeholder groups to develop the plan,
- A facilitated planning process that assisted the planning and action teams in analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the school district and developing/defining the mission, vision, beliefs, goal areas and elements of the strategic improvement plan,
- A facilitated process to work with experts within the district and community on developing initiatives and action steps to implement the plan.
Strategic Planning Outcomes: Three Goal Areas
- Academic Excellence
- Culture of Excellence
- Workforce Excellence
Academic Excellence
To prepare all students within a supportive, engaging, student-centered learning environment that ensures continuous academic achievement.
Culture of Excellence
To foster a culture of excellence that values learning in a safe environment, engages the community, and incorporates the voices of students and stakeholders.
Workforce Excellence
To attract and retain the best teachers, leaders, and support staff.

Well after spending every weekend for the past 5 weeks chasing after those dang turkeys, I finally bagged one. Nothing amazing, just a jake, but it was a good size one at least. Too bad I don't have a scale but i'd guess maybe 14 lbs. The beard was definintely a shorty,, maybe 4". But it was my first turkey ever, so I'm not out to impress anyone. The only problem is I found out that turkey addiction is just as bad as duck addiction. Someone should really start a support group for us.
The birds up north are gobbling real well right now, quite a change from just two weeks ago. Too bad the season only goes a few more days or i'd be chasing them for weeks. At least I can get back to fly fishing now. I'll post pics when i find the stupid cable i need in the mess i call my desk.
