Pay for your 2020 School Donation
2020 Donations
If you have been approved by the DOR to contribute to GaSSO for 2020 click "Donate".
2020 Pledges
There are still tax credits available for 2020 Donation Pledges.
Click the "Pledge" icon to register for DOR approval.
Georgia Student Scholarship Organization, Inc. (GaSSO) is one of the oldest and largest non-profit corporations approved by the State of Georgia to accept and manage tax-credit donations that give Georgia children access to the educational choices they deserve and need.
Since opening for business in 2008, we have processed tax-credit donations that have funded more than 10,000 scholarships for Georgia children attending more than 150 private preK-12 schools all across our state. There are probably many reasons why so many donors and schools like to work with GaSSO, but we think it boils down to one basic factor: Superior Service.
As a donor, you don't have to go any further than our donations page to complete our "1-Step Donation Process." After being notified by the Georgia Department of Revenue (GADOR) that your donation has been approved, we will transmit the funds to the private school of your choice within three business days of receiving their approved scholarship application form. Critically, your funds are never at risk. We don't even deposit your check until your donation has been approved by GADOR. Once that approval is received, we deposit it in a government-backed account until we disburse the funds (again, usually within three business days) to the school of your choice. Not one penny will ever be at risk in any conventional investment instrument.
We also work closely with our private school partners, regularly visiting schools to explain the program to parents and prospective donors. Unlike other SSOs, we at GaSSO don't think it's our role to manage your scholarship process. We require only minimal paperwork and provide you with twice monthly updates so that you can better manage your cash flow and quickly award any available funds. And, again, while other large SSOs distribute scholarship funds only a few times a year, we usually disburse the scholarship funds within three business days of receiving your approved scholarship application form. Further, the schools we partner with are also free to work with other SSOs.
These are just some of the reasons to go with GaSSO. We're sure you'll find others on our website.

The AGM-175 Griffin missile is a
lightweight, low-collateral-damage
weapon that rapidly integrates onto
an array of platforms. The A variant
is an aft-eject missile designed for
fixed-wing cargo aircraft. The B version is a forward-firing weapon suited for rotary- and fixed-wing platforms, as well as ground applications. The Marine Corps integrated
the Griffin A missile onto its KC-
130J Harvest Hawk platform and
deployed it to Afghanistan in 2010.
Raytheon has indefinite delivery/
indefinite quantity contracts with the
Army and Air Force and typically
produces 250 to 500 Griffins each
year across both contracts. In 2010, it
delivered almost 500 missiles on
contracts valued at roughly $51 million. The fiscal 2010 and 2011
defense budgets called for the delivery of more than 135 Griffin missiles
for the Harvest Hawk program.
Raytheon initially developed a
ground-launched, precision-guided
missile known as Archer with internal funding in 2004. After approaching the U.S. military with the Archer
concept, it was asked to develop the
missile into an air-launched system,
the Griffin. Production started in
2008 — with the first delivery in
April 2008 — and since then
Raytheon has built more than 1,200
Griffin missiles.
Rod Krebs is Raytheon's Griffin program director at Raytheon Missile
Systems, Tucson, Ariz.
Raytheon developed the Griffin missile with off-the-shelf components
from several proven weapon systems, including Javelin, Paveway and
the Joint Standoff Weapon. The concept was to build a highly precise, lightweight and easy-to-integrate system to address the warfighters' need in the
escalating counterinsurgency experienced in theater in 2006.
Raytheon funded the development, conducted two flight tests and matured
the technology. … The Griffin missile's size, light weight, dual-mode precision
and fuzing flexibility set it apart from anything available on the market today.
The missile is combat proven and provides the warfighter with an effective
tool to engage hostile targets while limiting the risk of collateral damage.
At the time of firing, the user can select to guide the weapon to the target using GPS [Global Positioning System] coordinates or laser designation. The user also has three fuzing options to engage the target — point
detonate, delayed fuze and height of burst. No other weapon currently
offers this degree of flexibility in guidance and fuzing options.
The Griffin missile's form factor and easy integration make it an attractive solution for a wide variety of platforms, such as lightweight scout helicopters, light-attack reconnaissance platforms, unmanned aircraft systems, and an array of surface-launch and ground-launch vehicles.
Griffin gives the Harvest Hawk a powerful capability to deliver precision
effects to the battlefield. Raytheon has received very positive feedback from
our customer on Griffin, and we are pleased we are able to play a small
part in helping them accomplish their mission.

Buy gold for insurance against fiscal and monetary predations of central bankers, commercial banking and government. Yes certainly!
Buy silver for insurance, profit and beautiful coins. Yes!
Buy both to own real money that has no counter-party risk.
- The simple answer is buy silver when the gold to silver ratio (G/S) is high and buy gold when the ratio is low. The problem is defining low and high.
- Silver prices move higher and lower, faster and farther, than gold prices so the ratio moved between 20 and 100 over the past 50 years. The historical ratio is lower, ten to twenty.
- Maintain physical ownership of precious metals which have no counter-party risk.
- Enlarge your stacks of silver and gold by trading between gold and silver timed with ratio extremes.
- Sleep well knowing you own real money gold and silver not dodgy over-priced stocks at the end of a gigantic credit expansion and stock boom.
The above graph of the ratio (weekly data) shows an idealized scenario for trading between gold and silver. Buy gold when the ratio is low and silver is relatively expensive. Sell gold when the ratio is high and silver is relatively inexpensive. The red arrows show 13 trades since 1971 that could have drastically increased total ounces in your metal stacks.
Begin in 1971 with $1,000 invested into gold 23 ounces. Trade back and forth between gold and silver. By late 2018 your $1,000 in gold grew to over 177,000 ounces of silver, worth over $2,000,000 in a perfect trading world.
These theoretical trades were executed with perfect hindsight about as likely as:
- Everyone is above average.
- The wind is always at your back.
- Politicians are truthful and care about you.
- Central bankers are good-hearted souls motivated to protect the best interests of common people.
- Debt and deficits dont matter.
- The COMEX is an honest physical exchange.
- The future is unknowable.
- Timing a market is difficult.
- Greed and fear inhibit making good decisions.
- Trend changes are difficult to see in real time.
- All markets are manipulated.
- Every transaction includes a cost.
- Buy silver when the ratio is high40s before 1980 bubble and over 60 after the 1980 bubble. Sell silver and buy gold when the ratio is lowbelow 30 before the bubble and below 50 after the bubble. AND
- Calculate the five week moving average of the ratio. Trade positions only after the ratio has FALLEN BELOW moving average highs or CROSSED ABOVE moving average lows in the ratio. AND
- Calculate the 12 period Relative Strength Index (RSI). Trade positions only after the RSI has reached extreme levelsbelow 25 or above 75and reversed. AND
- Assume each trade costs 5 percent in transaction expenses.
- Taxes on income are NOT considered.
This simple trading strategy is less emotional because its mechanical. Other more sophisticated systems are possible.

Ion Cannon Ready!
Ion Cannon Ready!
Of all the exciting new products that debuted at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one that had caught our attention was NVIDIA's spanking new Ion platform for the Intel Atom processor. The reference system demonstrated by NVIDIA was encased in a remarkably small Pico-ITX form factor chassis and was shown playing 1080p HD videos without a hitch, powered by an Intel Atom processor and the company's GeForce 9400 mGPU chipset, the same chipset that's now found in Apple's MacBooks.
In case you're wondering how small when we said Pico-ITX, it's roughly about the size of a paperback. Yes, it's that small and it is a complete PC by itself, featuring quite possibly all the ports and connectors you would ever need except for an optical drive. With its choice of the Intel Atom processor as the brains, it is also evident that NVIDIA is gunning for Intel and its stranglehold on the integrated graphics chipset that comes with practically every Atom CPU sold, particularly with the Atom-based mini-notebook segment - the fastest growing portion of the mobile market.
After that impressive debut that was short on details and benchmarks but definitely a highlight of the show, we finally got our hands on this new platform. While the one at CES was shiny black, our review unit came in polished white and though it still looks as ugly and homemade as ever, it's the insides that matter for this concept platform. So does this Ion 'cannon' fire true? Have a look first at its cluttered shell and the specifications:-

Clint & Leo present J Edgar
J Edgar opened the 2011 AFI Fest in Hollywood last night. The film will hit theatres next Friday and then we see whether or not it will factor during award season. I've only read two reviews so far (THR and Screen Daily) but both were medium plus to good. Both cited certain problems like Leo's distracting makeup as Hoover ages, but for the most part, the early word on direction seems solid, Leo's performance is "earnest" and "effective", and his chemistry with Armie Hammer is apparently one of the great strengths of the film. There could very well be another Oscar nomination on the way.
Here's Leo on the carpet last night, his first official appearance since Blake Lively played his ass, or at least appeared to. He looks good. Fit. Very tanned. Suits him. Leo, especially at this age, when he's pale and clammy and heavy, he has a hard time making it work. It only works because of who he is. You think he'd get that kind of action, wearing socks and flipflops and purple track suits, if he wasn't Leonardo DiCaprio? He coasts. He's The Guy who leans back and expects you to suck him off while he's still watching the basketball game, and maybe his buddy might be in the room too.

In Kate's State of the Prose she discussed a concern very near and dear to my heart:
A lot of people refuse to accept our self-identification as bloggers — no more, no less — and keep insisting that as long as Shapely Prose remains the most visible blog in the fatosphere, we have an obligation to "lead" it in ways that are never clearly defined and involve some highly mobile goalposts. So we made the difficult, much-discussed and verrrrry well thought-out decision to reduce our visibility in the fatosphere — by simply not being part of it anymore.
This passage resonated deeply as I also struggle to move beyond my -isms and be recognized as a writer first. By making a conscious effort not to write daily -ism updates, I have reclaimed some of my writer self. Gudbuytjane puts it another way:
As I've been thinking a great deal about the paucity of trans women's voices discussing things other than trans issues for cis people, and inspired by some writing by other trans women, I've decided to open a companion blog to gudbuytjane: gudbuytjane's Music Blog.
Trans women writing about things other than trans issues?! This feels almost revolutionary.
As a marginalized person I have been asked to put aside my artistic vision in service to "the movement". This has meant some of my writing – and I am an incredibly prolific writer – has not been as warmly received as my frothy rants against whatever -ism was acting up that day.
In college this meant having my subversive Shop & Fuck fiction being dismissed as "low brow" while professors all but demanded a Beloved knock off. Professionally, it has meant I have been cutoff from the pop culture discourse because as a "Black" writer my thoughts on Sidney Lumet – unless it relates to his marrying Lena Horne's daughter or the deliciously craptastic The Wiz – are not desired or welcomed.
By the way, those two Lumet items are related.
I could tell you more than you'll ever want to know about James Bond, have spilled more ink spectacularly deconstructing the misogyny of Kubrick and DePalma – two directors whose work I very much enjoy – yet much of my published work focuses primarily on the ways in which I am marginalized.
I have a voice. My stylistic choices are deliberate. It is meant to be cheeky and accessible. I can ramble academically with the best of them. But c'mon, who doesn't love "Zombie Playa" with a side of "Chicken Fried Fail"?
As members of marginalized groups we must tell our stories. There is no debate on that point. However, we must also carve out spaces where we are artists first and our -isms are merely the lens in which we explore our craft. There is space for a diversity of voices writing on a diverse collection of subjects. We need as many people living life as themselves first and their -isms second. This is the only way to be seen as complex beings, both as artists and people.
There are some days where just getting out of bed – here comes the oppression rundown – as a fat, queer, black female is all the radical action I can manage. And if on those days I want to wax poetically about Jack Soo's nuanced performance as Det. Nick Yemana rather than give an -ism update, who are you to tell me it lacks merit and derails "the movement"?

Loyola's program in African and African American Studies launched in fall 2010 with a splash: an inaugural fall lecture by Benjamin Todd Jealous, President of the NAACP. The talk and Q&A were lively as McGuire Hall filled with over 400 students, faculty, administrators, staff, and Baltimore community members. That spring, AAAS graduated its first two minors and we began the slow process of building an AAAS presence on campus through regular programming, an associated faculty and steering committee, and curricular advocacy. While the AAAS program is relatively new at Loyola, its launch built on decades of work and commitment from dedicated faculty, administrators, students, and staff. Nationally, black studies programs began to emerge in the 1960s and 1970s in response to student and faculty activism, beginning with the first black studies program in 1968 at San Francisco State University. Like those early programs, AAAS at Loyola also continues the legacy of over a century of intellectual work on black history and thought, dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century with the work of W. E. B. Du Bois and other pioneers.
At the heart of our program, of course, are the students. They tend to be energetic and driven by commitments to both social engagement and intellectual curiosity. AAAS now has a cadre of talented alumni pursuing many directions: speech language pathology, urban reporting, K-12 education, community-based education, nonprofit programming, and health services. Soon we will be able to ask them to return to campus to speak to current students about how AAAS is shaping their lives and careers. In addition to AAAS coursework and a portfolio, the AAAS program has begun to nurture student leadership development outside the Loyola classroom. We have sent students to national meetings of the National Council for Black Studies and the African Studies Association. We have experimented with a mentoring program to connect students with professionals in their chosen field. And we have begun to ask students to share their knowledge with the rest of the campus, such as through a teach-in on the Trayvon Martin verdict and a capstone presentation on race and fair housing policy.
From the beginning, the AAAS program has been committed to contributing to the intellectual life of the university. Our staple is the annual fall lecture to address a topic of both academic and social import. In addition to the inaugural lecture by the President of the NAACP, the series has featured the director of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, a foreign policy expert on the promises and pitfalls of U.S.-Africa engagement, and a political scientist and congressional fellow on race and voting rights. This year we added Food for Thought, a lunchtime series of conversations about faculty research open to the whole Loyola community. Over 100 people participated in conversations with Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead on personal narratives and social media, Dr. Robert Simmons on African American males in American schools, and Dr. Jean Lee Cole on reading black comics. The final installment was a capstone experience from our graduating minor, Andrea Awde ('14, Global Studies) on race, fair housing policy, and structures of racial injustice. The AAAS program has also partnered with other groups to deliver AAAS-related programming, from teaming up with the Women's Center for a conversation with women of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), with ALANA services and CCSJ for a conversation on white fear in the wake of the Jordan Davis ruling, and with the department of Modern Languages for a symposium on comparative slavery, including a speaker who is a survivor of modern slavery. With its record of on-campus success, AAAS is now looking to increase its focus on community engagement and partnership.
There are 28 faculty members on the Associated Faculty list whose training, research, or teaching in some way contributes to the field of African and African American studies. They come from twelve different departments and show the breadth of the interdisciplinary field. I am particularly happy to see many tenure-track faculty members, which bodes well for the growth and future leadership of AAAS on campus. The AAAS program will continue to advocate for AAAS expertise in hiring considerations. In addition to the program Director, a five-member rotating faculty steering committee provides leadership input and cultivates a roster of potential leadership. The current steering committee includes Dr. Adanna Johnson (Psychology), Dr. Heather Lyons (Psychology), Dr. Robert Simmons (Education), Dr. Lovell Smith (Sociology), and Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead (Communication). Other faculty who have served so far include Andrea Giampetro-Meyer (Law & Social Responsibility), Dr. Cheryl Moore-Thomas (Education), Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt (History), and Dr. Arthur Sutherland (Theology), with support from Dr. Martha Wharton (Academic Affairs). The program has also supported faculty development through engagement with the national field, such as through attendance at the National Council for Black Studies annual meetings or training workshops.
There are typically about ten to fifteen AAAS-related courses on offer each semester. Therefore, students have had a good deal of flexibility and diversity in curricular offerings, from African history and art to the civil rights movement to multicultural and consumer psychology. Dedicated faculty across campus offer important courses that have been here longer before AAAS and many have developed new courses, such as CM330 Stereotypes in U.S. Film and Television, EN376 African American literature, FR376 Outsiders in Sub-Saharan Francophone Literature, HS366 The Civil Rights Crusade, PL 399 Anthropology of Slavery, PY 418 Research Seminar in Black Psychology, and more. I am especially glad that some of the newest AAAS-related courses will provide access early in a student's career, such as SC105 Education in U.S. Society and HS 106 The Making of the Modern World: Africa, which will be offered as a Messina pairing in the fall by Dr. Lovell Smith and Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt.

Sign up to be a member of our AIDSFree HIV Testing Services Community. The AIDSFree HIV Testing and Services Community is a forum to connect with and learn from peers working in HIV testing services around the world. Community members can ask questions, share lessons learned, access the latest literature and news, and learn from experts.
Learn more about AIDSFree's work in HIV testing services.
HIV testing services (HTS) refers to the full range of services that should be provided together with HIV testing: counseling (pre-test information and post-test counselling); linkage to appropriate HIV prevention, treatment and care services and other clinical and support services; and coordination with laboratory services to support quality assurance and the delivery of correct results. Access to HIV testing is critical—to inform people of their status and link them to treatment and prevention services to protect partners and children. Quality testing services feature consent, confidentiality, counseling, correct test results, and connection to comprehensive HIV services. AIDSFree will engage in a series of activities related to HIV testing, including:
- Identifying the Causes and Effects of HIV Serostatus Misclassification: High-quality diagnostic services are essential to timely treatment, prevention of new infections, and improving quality of life for PLHIV. AIDSFree is studying the potential impacts of HIV diagnostic misclassification on patient outcomes and the cost of care.
- Creating an Online Community for HIV Testing Providers and Program Managers: AIDSFree provides a forum for providers, managers, and policymakers to share experiences and challenges with program design, implementation, and scale-up. This platform also facilitates south-to-south knowledge sharing and capacity development around HIV testing services.
- Developing a Guidelines and Policies Database on HIV Testing: Guidelines and policies for the rollout, delivery, and scale-up of HIV testing services vary by country. To help providers access the latest guidelines, AIDSFree has incorporated national guidelines and policies on HIV testing into its Guidelines Database.

The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa, conveniently located between Ft. Lauderdale beach and Miami Beach, is a destination with two very different ambiances. The beachfront hotel, with almost 1,000 rooms and over 200,000 square feet of meeting space, is an ideal location for conventions and conferences. It also has several pools and a wonderful Kid's Club that attracts families. In contrast, the , 60 rooms, located near the resort's 18 hole golf course, tennis courts and 30,000 square foot spa (with fresh water chlorine free swimming pool), offers guests a more intimate low key experience. Regardless of your accommodations, you can shuttle back and forth every half hour to enjoy the best of both worlds.
My spacious beachfront suite with a terrace that runs the length of the bedroom and living room, has a direct view of the Atlantic Ocean.
My room key gives me access to the 33 floor VIP lounge for a complimentary breakfast buffet and cocktails from 5 to 7:30.
The January sea is invigorating, as is my long walk on the powdery sand. I settle into a seat atSplash Restaurant on the edge of the beach, and order the mahi mahi wrap; tangy and spicy, it is a perfect afternoon snack.
At night, we cross the walkway to Diplomat Landing. Reservations have been made for Aizia, the hotel's Pan Asian Restaurant, serving a fusion of dishes influenced by the cuisines of China, Thailand and Japan. We are seated on the edge of the Intercoastal Waterway. Small boats and large yachts pass by as we feast on a delectable array of appetizers and house specialties, creatively plated and served with a theatrical flair that reflects Executive Chef Mauricio Gutierrez's passion for food and art.
AiZiA is not just fine waterfront dining; it is an exciting show of fire, ice, smoke and lights. .Meals is served engulfed in flames, "floating" on smoke or in a delicate ice bowl. Wild salmon arrives on a flaming cedar plank … smoky Szechwan seared scallops are nestled under a glass dome … and the crispy whole snapper is garnished to perfection. As a food writer, I am rarely as wowed as I was with chef's imaginative, innovative and creative masterpieces: the halibut is moist and flaky … short ribs over rice porridge, cooked for 36 hours, falls off the bone … and the Kurobuta Char Sui Pork Belly, served with sour apples, candied ginger and steamed bok choy, raises my palate to new highs.
Chef Mauricio, originally from Colombia, tells me: "I wanted to create a place where guests could engage all of their senses in their dining experience. It's not just about the taste. Regardless of what our guests order, by the time they begin eating we have already aroused their senses of sight, sound and smell."
I take the 11:00 A.M. shuttle over to the white tea scented spa for my Signature Zen Ritual … aGreen Tea Scrub and Massage. The atmosphere is pleasant, tranquil and reassuring. Lucia, a seasoned professional, is my therapist, and I am most impressed with her meticulous and methodical approach to wellness. My treatment is full of surprises, including: the hot towel roll placed under my neck and the hot blanket on my back.
Wrapped in a robe, I move out to the pool, relax in a lounge, and order a healthy shrimp and avocado salad. On the shuttle back to the beach, a guest who also had a treatment with Lucia tells me: "she had the right touch, so professional; it was exactly what I wanted".
Dinner in the hotel's Hollywood Prime, presided over by Chef de Cuisine Will Biscoe and South Florida's only AAA Four Diamond rated steak house, hits yet another culinary high note. The house selection of wines also won it Wine Spectators 2011 Award for Excellence. Chef sends out a zingy dip made with chopped cheddar, roasted red peppers, mayo and spices, as part of bread service along with homemade crackers, followed by melt-in-your- mouth. Kobe beef kebobs. My New York strip steak, served with sides of garlic mashed potatoes, succulent sautéed mushrooms and anisette flavored creamed spinach is a testimony to Chef Will Biscoe's'sexperimental personality and flair for mixing seasonings into unique flavors.
Old-Fashioned Pimento Cheese Spread Recipe
makes about one pound
In a mixing bowl beat together:
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or cubed
½ teaspoon Coleman's English Mustard Powder
2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce, chef prefer Sri Racha
When cheese is completely crumbled beat in:
1 cup of Hellman's or Duke's mayonnaise
4 ounces of chopped pimento or a chopped roasted pepper
You can add more or less mayo to taste; .a little onion, Worcestershire sauce and/or finely diced jalapeno.
less for a stiffer spread and more for something decadent and super-creamy.
The Westin Diplomat, Resort & Spa, celebrating its 10th Anniversary, is a great destination, any time of the year, but especially when it's snowing up north

The Board of Educational Affairs of the American Psychological Association (APA) has just put forth a new statement that is the result of a several month process by which a working group has been meeting to discuss the complexities associated with value-based referrals in the context of professional training.
This has been a topic that has received a great deal of attention with the Ward v. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) case that was recently settled out of court. You may recall that Julea Ward was dismissed from her counseling program for not participating in a remediation program after making a referral of a gay client who requested counseling for relationship issues. That referral was made in consultation with her supervisor, but her program had insisted she go through remediation. The settlement to Ward was for $75,0000.
Unfortunately, I see a lot of polarization occurring in response to value based referrals. Now we are seeing attempts to address these complex issues through legislation, which I see as the wrong venue for this topic. Just as I am concerned with attempts to ban reorientation therapy for minors in California (see here), I am concerned about attempts to legislate conscience clauses for students in training to become psychologists.
The APA appears to want to get ahead of the curve on this one, which I think is a good idea. The pedagogical statement is reproduced here in its entirety:
Preparing Professional Psychologists to Serve a Diverse Public: A Core Requirement in Doctoral Education and Training
Statement of Purpose
For psychologists to competently serve all members of the public now and in the future, professional psychology training programs strive to ensure that psychology trainees demonstrate acceptable levels of knowledge, skills, and awareness to work effectively with diverse individuals. Clients/patients are complex individuals who belong to diverse cultures and groups. Trainees also bring a complex set of personal characteristics and diverse cultural or group memberships to the education and training process. An important component of psychology training to explore is when and how trainees' world views, beliefs, or religious values interact with and even impede the provision of competent professional services to members of the public. It is essential that potential conflicts be acknowledged and addressed during training so that psychologists are prepared to beneficially and non-injuriously interact with all clients/patients. This statement is intended to help training programs address conflicts between trainees' worldviews, beliefs, or religious values and professional psychology's commitment to offering culturally responsive psychological services to all members of the public, especially to those from traditionally marginalized groups.
Commitment to a Supportive Training Environment
Training environments foster the ability of trainees to provide competent care to the general public, and trainees' competencies in professional practice are evaluated regularly. Some trainees possess worldviews, values, or religious beliefs that conflict with serving specific subgroups within the public. For example, they may experience strong negative reactions toward clients/patients who are of a particular sexual orientation, religious tradition, age, or disability status. Trainers take a developmental approach to trainee skill and competency acquisition, and support individual trainees in the process of developing competencies to work with diverse populations. Trainers respect the right of trainees to maintain their personal belief systems while acquiring such professional competencies. Trainers also model the process of personal introspection; the exploration of personal beliefs, attitudes, and values; and the development of cognitive flexibility required to serve a wide diversity of clients/patients. Training to work with diverse clients/patients is integral to the curriculum, and consists of both didactic coursework and practical training.
Training programs, trainers, and trainees cannot be selective about the core competencies needed for the practice of psychology because these competencies are determined by the profession for the benefit of the public. Further, training programs are accountable for ensuring that trainees exhibit the ability to work effectively with clients/patients whose group membership, demographic characteristics, or worldviews create conflict with their own. Trainers respectfully work with trainees to beneficially navigate value- or belief- related tensions. At times, training programs may wish to consider client/patient re-assignment so trainees have time to work to develop their competence to work with client/patients who challenge trainees' sincerely held beliefs. Trainers utilize professional judgment in determining when client/patient re-assignment may be indicated in this situation as in all other possible situations in which client/patient re-assignment may be considered. The overriding consideration in such cases must always be the welfare of the client/patient. In such cases, trainers focus on the trainees' development, recognizing that tensions arising from sincerely held beliefs or values require pedagogical support and time to understand and integrate with standards for professional conduct. Thus trainees entering professional psychology training programs should have no reasonable expectation of being exempted from having any particular category of potential clients/patients assigned to them for the duration of training.
Commitment to Transparency in Educational Expectations, Policies and Procedures
Psychology training programs inform prospective trainees and the public of expected competencies to be attained during training. Publicly available program descriptions and admission materials should include the program's goals and objectives, content about training standards, and the commitment to serving a diverse public. These expectations are reiterated throughout the course of training and in documents such as practicum contracts. Training programs are responsible for notifying prospective trainees, current students and the public that the failure to demonstrate appropriate levels of competence as set forth and assessed by the program could lead to dismissal from the doctoral training program.
Commitment to Establishing and Maintaining Standards for Professional Competence to Protect the Public
As the largest professional and scientific organization of psychologists in the United States, the American Psychological Association (APA) has sought to create, communicate, and apply psychological knowledge for the public's benefit for more than a century. It does this, in part, by establishing a professional code of ethics and standards for professional education and training for practice. These APA documents mandate that education and training programs take reasonable steps to ensure that doctoral-level graduates are prepared to serve a diverse public.
Those who want students to retain the right to make a referral due to their "sincerely held beliefs" may not be pleased with this document. However, it goes a long way in the right direction. Let me elaborate.
There is a shift away from the language of "referral" to "re-assignment" which I like. The language of "referral" tends to place the emphasis on the student in training, as though that student were to make these decisions. I understand that this gets complicated, but I struggle with the idea of having the student be the final arbitrator of the kinds of clients he or she is going to see. They are in training to become a psychologist. There is an important training context that is often under-appreciated in these discussions (and rarely appreciated once it moves to legislation). The language of "re-assignment" keeps the focus on the training aspect of these issues.
Also, I appreciate that the focus is on those who are providing the training to use their professional judgment: "Trainers utilize professional judgment in determining when client/patient re-assignment may be indicated in this situation as in all other possible situations in which client/patient re-assignment may be considered."
I understand that those who want a certain "conscience clause" emphasis may not care for the language of having "time to work to develop their competence" in an area in which there is a value conflict, but it does reiterate the importance of the training aspect of their professional identity, which is discussed in the context of providing students with time and support, which is significantly different than what is being discussed elsewhere. In other words, programs that adhere to this statement would be expected to show how they work with students who hold "sincerely held beliefs" — in a case like that of Ward v. EMU, it would seem to heighten expectations for how training programs would show respect to a wider range of diversity considerations, such as sexual orientation and religion. It suggests programs will be expected to create the kind of climate that is supportive of students as they embark on a developmental process that takes them to a place of professional responsibility to serve the public — that both the outcome and the process will demonstrate regard for diversity in its various expressions.
I also like that what is of utmost importance is the welfare of the client. Back to the document: "The overriding consideration in such cases must always be the welfare of the client/patient."
The closing line in this particular paragraph has some important language:
Thus trainees entering professional psychology training programs should have no reasonable expectation of being exempted from having any particular category of potential clients/patients assigned to them for the duration of training.
Having trained students in psychology for the past 14 years, I would be concerned about having a student who went into training with a list of people they would not see professionally. I do think there is a process here that we would do well to appreciate. It is a professional training and identity process that takes time to instill. It is not fostered by simply telling students to meet specific expectations; in fact, I suspect such an approach would lead a student to only be further entrenched in his or her own position.
You might be asking, "What about the conscience clause? Can a student make a value-based referral or not? Yes or No?" I don't think this document is intended to provide a simple answer to those kinds of questions, in part because this is a professional development topic, and it is a complicated one. It does not lend itself to black and white answers, but to nuance, which is why it should not be adjudicated through the courts.

Fried cauliflower
I was first introduced to fried cauliflower about three decades ago, when my sister married into an Italian family in Louisiana. She picked up many of the cooking traditions of her new family and made them her own. I've since learned that this dish is a favorite all over the country. In fact, for many folks, this is the ONLY way they'll eat cauliflower.
So here, from the kitchen of Jill Wilson Saia, No. 1 big sis and crackerjack cook, comes today's recipe:
Fried Cauliflower
3 c. all-purpose flour
3 heads fresh cauliflower, cleaned and cut bite-size
Vegetable oil (canola oil is best); enough to fill deep fryer
2 large eggs
½ c. milk
1 tsp. granulated garlic
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. salt
Cajun/Creole seasoning to taste (Zatarain's, Tony Chachere's)
Heat oil in deep fryer or large pot on stove to 350° Fahrenheit. Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl.
Combine remaining ingredients (except cauliflower) in a zip-top bag; close the bag and shake thoroughly to mix.
Soak cauliflower pieces in egg wash, then place in zip-top bag with dry ingredients. Shake to coat. Place each coated cauliflower piece in hot oil and cook until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and add salt and pepper to taste.
My nephews, Jacob and Jared, generally make it difficult to get a full plate of these to the table!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) is to maintain and promote animal health, production and reproduction, and to assure safe and orderly marketing of animals and animal products through animal disease control, import control, veterinary surveillance, epidemiology and extension, diagnostic services and veterinary public health services.
To maintain and promote optimal animal health and production and to ensure access of Namibian animals and animals products to regional and international markets.
Veterinary Historical Perspective
The first veterinarians arrived on Namibian soil in 1894 under the German Colonial Regime. After the conquest by South African forces during World War I, a Division of Veterinary Services of the Administration of South West Africa was established under South African mandate.
This division functioned independently until April 1969, when it was placed under the control of Veterinary Services of the Republic of South Africa.
Control subsequently reverted back to the government of SWA/Namibia in 1980.
In the independent Republic of Namibia (1990), the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) falls under the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Rural Development.

Sixth-round defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore became the first member of the Ravens' rookie draft class to agree to terms as he's signing a four-year contract, according to a source.
It could be a season eventually spent on injured reserve for Lewis-Moore after starting out on the physically-unable-to-perform list.
The Notre Dame standout tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a national championship game loss to Alabama in January. He detached his medial collateral ligament in the same knee the previous season against USC.
"He's a guy that we're going to bring along and rehab," general manager Ozzie Newsome said after the draft. "If we get something out of him in 2013, it's a plus."
With Alabama being his alma mater, Newsome was at the game where Lewis-Moore got hurt. He was already familiar with the Texas native and former blue-chip recruit because of his strong play for the Fighting Irish.
"I had already watched him on tape," Newsome said. "We had good grades on him. We believe in our medical staff. Now with ACLs, there is predictability in his recovery. We have some players that can play the position, but if we get into the middle of the season and he's completely ready to go, there are no players on the street when you get to October and November. To be able to pull somebody like that out of the bullpen could be a bonus for us."
Given the timing of the injury, though, it's regarded as unlikely that he'll contribute much this year.
An accomplished player with 180 career tackles and a dozen sacks, Lewis-Moore underwent surgery three months ago after his latest medical setback.
"I just try to have a positive mind about it," Lewis-Moore said. "I know the knee kind of set me back a bit, but you can only control what you can control. I'm working my butt off to get right again. Obviously, you don't want to rush anything like that."
If not for the knee injuries, Lewis-Moore could have been a much higher draft pick.
Just last season, the 6-foot-4, 300-pounder had 40 tackles, 8 1/2 for losses, six sacks and two forced fumbles.
Lewis-Moore was caught off guard when the Ravens called.
"It's kind of funny because I was actually watching the draft with two of my friends, and I was just sitting there watching the picks go by," Lewis-Moore said. "I was like, 'I'm hungry, I'm going to get a sandwich,' and I got the call from Mr. Ozzie.
"Me and my agent, we were still pretty hopeful late round, but in the middle of the sixth, I was kind of surprised and losing a little hope. I was just like, 'Hey, let me go get a sandwich, whatever happens, happens.' Obviously, my phone started going off. I saw the Baltimore area code and I was like, 'Whoa!' So, I had to get it together a little bit."

You have arrived at the home of the game Multi-User Dungeon, or MUD, also known to former players on CompuServe as British Legends.
MUD is the world's oldest virtual world. It is a text-based game played using a TELNET program. Text-based and old? No, this is not a retro-gaming site. Just like good books didn't go out of fashion when motion pictures were invented, many of us are of the opinion that good text-based games have a place to stay.

text: So I upgraded to os 7.1 during the week and thought I'd phone vodafone uk because I had read that you needed to phone them to activate the mobile hotspot option so I did and spoke to a representative... Turns out he had no idea what I was on about and said I must have a faulty handset. Anyone else phoned them and got it activated? Or is it not available for uk or vodafone?

Brookings Man Arrested in Toronto Bank Robbery
BROOKINGS - State and federal crime agents have arrested a suspect in a bank robbery earlier this month in the eastern South Dakota town of Toronto.
The FBI says 38-year-old Nathan Reisetter was arrested Tuesday at his workplace in Brookings. He is from the town of White, which is less than 20 miles from Toronto.
Authorities say a man armed with a semi-automatic handgun robbed the First Bank and Trust in Toronto on Jan. 2, giving a trash bag to an employee and demanding money from the bank's vault. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Authorities say they are investigating whether Reisetter might be linked to other unsolved bank robberies.

text: East Bali encompasses the Regency of Karangasem, an exotic royal Balinese kingdom of forests and mighty mountains, emerald rice terraces, ancient temples, mystical water palaces and gorgeous beaches. This beautiful, undeveloped area is set well away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream tourism, presenting steep headlands, sheltered coves and some of the best coral reefs and dive sites on the island. It is also where you will find Bali's mystical sacred landmark, Mt Agung. At just over 3000 metres high, Mt Agung is Bali's tallest and most revered volcano, its resplendent summit dominating much of the island.

So we left here at this point yesterday with Part 1 tutorial showing us how to set up your machine. Today we will embroider the stockings.
Make sure you have loaded on your embroidery machine the letters you need for your family's names.
Some machines have built in fonts.
Step 1: Mark the center of the stocking cuff with a water soluble pen.
The first stocking I embroidered, I drew an arrow so I did not forget the correct direction of the cuff for my letters.
Step 2: With the seam ripper take the cuff off of the stocking.
Step 3: The cuff is a large loop, with the seam ripper open up the loop. Now it will lay flat under the embroidery machine.
Step 4: Place the white cuff fabric over the interfacing in your hoop. Make sure the water soluble mark is under your embroidery foot. Use the free basting stitches at Swak Embroidery to secure the fabric to the interfacing in the hoop or spray adhesive to stick the fabric to the interfacing.
Step 5: If your letters are all together and you can program your machine to stitch them at the same time, look over this step. If you downloaded the Curls Font to your machine and each letter is a separate design. Start with the middle letter of the name and work outwards.
I am spelling Dad here, so I started with "a".
Step 6: Finish your design on the cuff and take it off the hoop
Step 7: Sew the cuff back into a loop again. Follow the old seam line.
Step 8: Pin together the stocking lining side out, the cuff wrong side out with the loop sandwiched in between. Sew around the cuff. Flip the stocking right side out and hang by the fireplace!
I hope you give this a try. If you embroider your stocking this holiday season using this tutorial please add your photos to the Your Sew Spoiled Projects Flickr group!
Happy Embroidering!
