Deep Run program trains future project management leaders
Deep Run High School recently completed a pilot course that is the first of its kind in the nation, based upon project management skills for the purpose of providing adequate training to its students so they can be empowered to enter the workforce with competence and a professional certification. Future Leaders In Project Management is a non-profit organization that was founded by Jennifer Greene to incorporate project management in high schools so students are prepared to work as associate project managers after they graduate. The year-long course prepares students to take the Project Management Institute's Certified Associate's in Project Management (CAPM) test and receive Project Manager's Institute industry certification, a world recognized certification. FLiPM is designed to bring skilled local workforce to businesses, grant graduating high school seniors job opportunities and stimulate the economy while lowering the unemployment rate. Upon completing the last project management course in the 12th grade, students who earn their high school diplomas will be eligible to sit for the CAPM test, thus preparing the students to turn their passions in more than 100 different industries into marketable career options straight out of school. "I believe in industry certification and PMI is the world standard for project management," said Lynne Norris, the school's project management teacher and chair of the Center for Information Technology. "I'm always looking for opportunities to give them (students) the edge and anytime you can put initials behind your name its awesome." The program came to Deep Run when a CTE specialist for the county's school system approached Norris about the opportunity FLiPM could bring students. The program was born when the Henrico School Board gave its approval. The system not only opened up doors for the students but also for teachers – 10 of whom were given the opportunity to take a project management course to earn certification. Project management is part of the required curriculum for sophomores at Deep Run in the speciality IT center, but FLiPM allows for students to take their studies a step further. The FLiPM capstone class at Deep Run is composed of 10 students and focuses on IT project management with a yearlong project that puts their skills to use. Through FLiPM, students were able to utilize the tools that project management has taught them in completing different projects areas that interested them. "We were given the opportunity to work on the CAPM certification and it's a lot like a real life job, doing a year long project isn't something that most high schooler's get to do especially putting the skills to use and application," said senior Stephen Scipione. The vision is to incorporate FLiPM in to all CTE courses so that a broad spectrum of students are being exposed to technology, terminology, and tools that Project Management uses. Many of the skills introduced correlate to the work place and give students a leg-up when facing employers who are looking for well developed students that are entering the work force. The national certification makes the students more marketable employees with hope of gaining them entry into well paying jobs. The job market is extremely competitive, but project manager positions are thriving, and there is a strong need for CAMPS (Certified Associate Project Managers), who have a starting salary between $40,000 and $50,000 a year. Offering graduates the certification makes them employable right away, and the skills learned translate into a multitude of professions and are applicable in every industry. Those skills – project planning, scheduling, human resources, team management, customer and client relations, interpersonal skills, risk assessment and communication – give students a significant advantage that they can carry with them throughout their life, not just for the first few years after graduation, Norris said. FLiPM also gives students who may not be pursuing college or have the opportunity, to enter a professional career with valid, marketable skills. FLiPM creates a bridge between career/technical education and the public school systems by opening the doors to students. The program works with a local professional chapter of Project Management and provides opportunities to use the newly-gained abilities to partner with state organizations, stimulating local economy. "I became interested because I wanted an opportunity to use this class to elevate beyond high school and into the real world, while working with a client and mentor. I relish the opportunity to work with organizations outside of school," said Ram Ramkumar. After completing the capstone, students are awarded a grant to cover their application fee into the local chapter of PMI, as well as their PMI test, and are offered access to testing software and test preparation books. The local chapter allows for students to continue using PMI skills outside of high school and the chance to get involved with local businesses. The FLiPM program is expected to expand, and Norris says this year was full of successes. "My hope is that each year we will be able to continue this program through grants and be able to help facilitate other schools in Henrico. It makes me happy to be able to say we are really providing a valuable resource of well prepared workers as students graduate," she said. FLiPM and Henrico Education Foundation, along with the Central Virginia Chapter of PMI are rewarding a student with a $2,500 scholarship as well as title of "Student Project Manager of the Year" at a celebratory dinner held at the Federal Reserve Building. |

Talk119this wiki
Welcome to Camp Half-Blood Wiki The wiki that anyone can edit, devoted to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series by New York Times #1 Bestselling Author, Rick Riordan! |
Khione is the Greek goddess of snow, daughter of Boreas, god of the North Wind, and sister of Zethes and Calais. She is depicted as a goddess in the series, while in mythology she is visualized as a snow nymph. Her Roman form, Chione, is sometimes used as merely an alternative way of spelling her name.
Khione is the daughter of Boreas, the North Wind and Oreithyia, whom he abducted. She was loved by Poseidon and had him a son, Eumolpus. In fear of her father's wrath, she cast the child in the sea, but Poseidon saved him and entrusted him to the care of Benthesikyme. The Eumolpidae in charge of the Eleusinian mysteries claimed descent from her, as the mother of Eumolpus with Poseidon. She was hardly ever represented in Greek or Roman mythology.
When Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez visit Boreas's penthouse suite in Quebec, they were given a not-so-warm welcome by Khione and her two immortal demigod brothers Zethes and Calais. As soon as he sees her, Leo develops an instant crush on her, but she doesn't like him because she can sense the fire within him. She makes him wait with Calais while she and Zethes take Jason and Piper to see her father, Boreas. She supports the idea of turning them into ice statues, but her father disagrees and she is extremely angry at him, but was forced to listen resulting in her letting them go.
Later when the demigods were flying over Detroit, she summons a strong wind to knock Festus out of the sky and freezes the wires in his head which damages the control disk, thus preventing him from flying. Leo is confused about the frozen wires but didn't suspect it was Khione.

The very existence of "Dominique Strauss-Kahn: The Movie" reveals a darker side to Hollywood
Will his alleged victim, Nafissatou Diallo, get to tell her side of the story?
By Samira Shackle Published 31 August 2012 15:51Filming is set to begin for a movie about Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the French politician who stepped down as head of the IMF after he was accused of attempted rape by a New York hotel worker in May 2011. Details about the film, which has yet to be given a title, are being kept under wraps. Directed by Abel Ferrara, who made Bad Lieutenant, it will star Gerard Depardieu as DSK and Isabelle Adjani as his multimillionaire journalist wife, Anne Sinclair. In addition to the New York incident, it has been speculated that the film may include subsequent allegations of sexual assault by French journalist Tristane Banon, and charges of "aggravated pimping in an organised gang" in Lille in which sex workers were allegedly procured for orgies. The inquiry is also examining whether one sex worker was gang-raped. Strauss-Kahn denies all the charges.
Certainly, the scandal (or scandals) has captured the imagination of many writers, dramatists, and journalists. It has been only 15 months since immigrant worker Nafissatou Diallo accused DSK of sexual assault and attempted rape, but the incident has already been the subject of multiple plays, and books, as well as this new film.
Theatrical productions in Paris and at the Edinburgh fringe looked at the incident, particularly focusing on the relationship between Strauss-Kahn and Sinclair – who stood by her man throughout the scandal, leaving him only recently. A non-fictional investigation into the couple was one of the biggest bestsellers in France this summer. A thriller inspired by the case, Night Watch by Linda Farstein, was a bestseller in the US. Meanwhile, a recently published novel by French author Stéphane Zagdanski, Burning Chaos, looks at the New York story through patients in a Manhattan psychiatric centre.
Of course, the tale of power, sex, and scandal is classic material for theatre or fiction. But is it problematic that the story is being turned into a money-spinning drama (by many different people) before the case is even closed? While criminal charges were dropped because the judge said there were "substantial credibility issues" with Diallo (a sadly common story for victims of sexual assault), she is bringing a civil suit for sexual assault and gender violence which has yet to reach court. Strauss-Kahn is counter-suing for defamation and malicious prosecution.
Zagdanski told AFP why he chose the story as the subject of his novel:
"The DSK affair is the incarnation of contemporary folly. It fascinates enormously because he was at the summit of the world and he found himself in the gutter overnight, thanks to a six minute fellatio."
His words demonstrate exactly why there is something unpleasant about turning the case into a fictionalised drama before it is really over. "A six minute fellatio" is a callous choice of words that overlooks the fact that DSK was not proved to be innocent of attacking Diallo: rather, the case was dropped because she was seen as a weak witness. Those are two completely different things. Victims of sexual assault are frequently judged inconsistent – in this case, lies on her asylum application for the US were a major contributing factor.
And let's not forget that this was allegedly a violent sexual assault. Although DSK claims the encounter was consensual, a leaked medical report showed that she had serious injuries including a torn shoulder ligament. Indeed, the fact that details of exactly what state her bruised and naked body was in were all over the press before the court hearing had even taken place indicates quite how little privacy Diallo was granted. It was against this backdrop – and allegations that she was a liar and a prostitute – that she chose to tell her story to the press, a decision for which she was lambasted.
Zagdanski may be correct that people are fascinated by the story because: "It shows the two faces of our world. People are fascinated by money, the rich, the stars, Hollywood... but they see that on the other side of this world of glamour there is also banal human misery which is not so unlike ordinary folks' misery."
Yet it is disturbing that these words completely overlook the other side of the story: the ordinary person and alleged victim who is also suffering the personal and professional fallout of this scandal. Diallo's story may be less glamorous – and as an immigrant hotel cleaner, she is about as far away from being powerful as you can get – but as the book, film, and theatre productions continue, we must only hope that they do not entirely overlook her side of the picture.

This is our world, populated by too few people not prepared to consume this kind of grotesque and vicarious 'entertainment'. How long till Jimmy Saville's repellent story hits the celluloid?
The real story is stranger than fiction. Three years before DSK's problems with Nafissatou Diallo, DSK's affair with Piroska Nagy, an IMF staffer, was revealed in the Wall Street Journal. How the Wall Street Journal got the story was never revealed. Piroska Nagy's estranged husband, Mario Blejer, a former Argentine central bank governor, denied that he leaked the story of DSK's affair. Robert Litt, Ms. Nagy's lawyer, is now General Counsel, Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
@@@Strauss-Kahn, Assange, Polanski and Clinton.\
In the olden days squire could have is way because he was to' law. Today the political elite have their way because they are the law. Paddy Pants Down must have known about Cyril Smith for instance if my brother did!!!! And the EU. band plays on.

I'd like to see the Hollywood bio-movie quad- the life stories of the big 4 serial molesters: Strauss-Kahn, Assange, Polanski and Clinton. Woody Allen can introduce the films.
Let's hope the film relentlessly takes the p*ss out of this despicable creature and puts the final nail in his career.

Are you trying to become what you watch on television?
By Gary Andrews
It seems to me that many in our society are trying to become something other than what they really are. We have so many reality television shows that tell us how to do things and how to live our lives. Young minds are seeing some of these shows and believing their lives can emulate the people on television.
We are becoming a fake world. Look around you and you can see how our political leaders are leading our citizens into a society that only follows and never leads. The reality television shows are doing the same thing. We are becoming dependent on what people tell us to do instead of being creators and self-designers of our own lives.
We see young women and men interviewing and dating other men and women on television trying to find true love. The internet is full of dating services soliciting input from unsuspecting people looking for happiness, true love, and total commitment from someone they have never met or had only a few days with. Yes, some of these can be true love at first sight and these couples may be together until death parts them, however this will be a very low percentage.
Television families have many problems as families of the real world do. The biggest difference is that television families seem to not work on their problems and take desperate measures against each other leading to stress and distress for everyone concerned. Real families should work their problems out and get them behind them, except we are listening and watching what the television tells us to do. Many people are in prison today because someone on television committed an act of violence and got away with it. People, in the real world it doesn't work that way. You really do pay for your crimes.
What we need to realize is that these actors on television are working and when they are through they go home and, hopefully, enjoy a meaningful relationship with their real family. Too many of our youth are allowed to watch television and believe they can do what these actors are actually getting paid to do and that is paint a rosy picture for a bad situation.
I love to watch the old movie channels because the family situations seem more realistic and down to earth. There is very little violence in these movies and the good guys always win. There is also more family time together and they talk to each other, as all families should. They work out their problems together. These movies show families going and sitting in church together, then going home and having a family dinner around the table.
Our families of today are suffering immensely because we do not take time to talk and be together. One thing that you don't see in these old movies is a family sitting around watching television, because there wasn't any.
Think about your family. Do all of you sit and talk things through? Do you go to church together or does each one of you go in a separate vehicle? Do you share a family dinner without the television being on?
Not many of our families can answer yes to these questions because most of them are too busy watching television to see what their next move should be.
Prayer: Father God lead me away from the sinful programming nature of television. Even though it is a good medium in some ways, I pray that I glean from it what you would have me to see. I pray that I can be a witness for you in all that I do. Amen.

Remember When
120 years ago
A dispatch was sent from Alturas to postmaster N.S. McKinsey to notify him the liquor ordinance had been repealed.
70 years ago
Another step in the acquisition of a site for a Lassen National Forest headquarters building was taken with instructions from Washington to have the deed recorded to the premises on Grand Avenue.
This could seem to indicate the property has been accepted by the Bureau of Forestry and the last obstacle removed in their erection of a building that would permanently locate the Lassen National Forest Administration in Susanville.
45 years ago
Improvements to the Susanville Airport were included in the Federal Aviation Agency National Airport Plan for 1966. Among the improvements were acquisition of land, reconstruction and extension of the runway and construction of a taxiway and apron.

Susanville's Riverside Park and two local schools were to be aesthetically improved through the use of trees in a cooperative demonstration project designed to educate the public on the use of trees in city areas. The idea was to go beyond just providing shade, as the trees were to be placed as barriers and buffer areas to direct traffic and hide unsightly storage areas at the three sites.
20 years ago
Lassen County District Attorney Mark Nareau scored his first victory only a day after being sworn into office when the Lassen County Board of Supervisors approved a motion to allow Nareau to hire employees for two newly-created positions. Susanville attorney Ridgely Lazard was hired as a deputy attorney for $48,000 per year.
Lazard will spend 70 percent of his time prosecuting cases at the California Correctional Center with the state picking up its portion ($3,750) of his salary.

A former Lassen County Planning Commission chairman with no prior agricultural experience is in default for a $295,000 loan he got in 1993 from the county to start a Wendell hog operation. Robert O. Elliot was the only applicant for the economic development grant which came from the California Department of Housing and Community Development in the form of a loan to start a company called California Pork.
According to information from the Board of Supervisors, Elliot did not meet the requirements mandated by the state for the loan and the county had already repaid $190,000 while Elliot had paid only $25,000. First California Pork was bogged down by construction problems and then 200 brood hogs died, a terrible blow to the then-young operation.

Lassen County's troubled, publicly owned utility company asked the state for the money to end its financial woes, according to a resolution written by the Lassen Municipal District's General Counsel, Susanville attorney Frank Cady.

Trains were running again within 24 hours of derailment in Nubieber at 5 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, according to Lassen County Emergency Services Chip Jackson.
"A freight train northbound from the Westwood area headed to Klamath Falls was switched into the siding in Nubieber," Jackson told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Jan. 11.
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad freight train ran into grain cars on the siding. Jackson said the accident involved seven locomotives and 57 cars.
Last year
Two women were found dead, apparent victims of gunshot wounds in an apartment in the 900 block of Paiute Lane at roughly 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 22.
According to a press release from the Susanville Police Department, officers responded to a call of suspicious circumstances at the Paiute Lane apartment complex. Arriving at the scene, officers received no response from inside the apartment.
Officers gained access and located two dead women inside, both the apparent victims of gunshot wounds. The SPD's Investigation Unit then responded to handle the investigation and processing of the scene.

Mr. Mapes, from the Tule Confederacy, was up from that place last Saturday and from him we learned that the accident involving the Bidwell and Amedee stage last week was caused by the driver taking out the brake blocks.
As is customary when traveling on muddy roads, the driver removed the brake blocks in order to make the wagon run easier on the horses.
When the stage arrived at the top of the hill, the driver failed to replace the brake blocks, so when the stage started down the grade, the team was unable to hold the load, and there was nothing left for them to do but run.
70 years ago
C.W. Morrill, Lassen County coroner and administrator, won the first legal skirmish in Superior Court as he defended himself against five charges of misconduct in office in accusations filed by the 1940 Lassen County Grand Jury. Judge A.K. Wylie, of Alturas, sustained the demurrer and granted a motion to strike from the record the second accusation against Morrill of making avocation for veteran's exemption when he possessed property worth more than $5,000.
It was argued that this, even if it were true, was a personal business affair and was beyond the scope of the grand jury and had nothing to do with Morrill's conduct in office or his retaliation to the public.

It's every cliché about repeated experience you can think of -- the myth of Sisyphus, déjà vu all over again, Groundhog Day.
The forced government spending cuts that take effect Friday are just a prelude for more political showdowns in coming months.
First will be the March 27 deadline for Congress to approve government funding for the rest of the current fiscal year, which ends on September 30.
Without such authorization through what legislators call a continuing resolution, the government will partially shut down.
So like Sisyphus and his stone or Phil Connors in Punxsutawney, the nation will again face the same political drama over spending and taxes less than four weeks from now.
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner made clear Friday that the coming deadline on the continuing resolution will be the next standoff.
"The president and leaders agreed legislation should be enacted this month to prevent a government shutdown while we continue to work on a solution to replace the" forced spending cuts, said a statement by Boehner's office.
Obama indicated he would sign a funding bill to avert a possible government shutdown on March 27 as long as it adhered to past funding agreements, even if that included the forced spending cuts.
"There's no reason why we should have another crisis by shutting the government down in addition to these arbitrary spending cuts," he said.
At issue is the same ideological divide over the size and role of government that dominated Obama's first term and appears certain to also dominate the second one.
Both sides acknowledge the need to reduce the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt, but they differ on the severity of the steps needed and how to make it happen.
Republicans led by Boehner seek to shrink government to reduce overall spending, especially on costly entitlement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid that are main drivers of the deficits.
They contend that failing to bring down spending threatens the nation's economic stability and security in the near-term and especially in coming decades.
Democrats led by Obama want to preserve the social safety net of entitlements and insist on including more tax revenue --especially from the wealthiest Americans -- in any deficit reduction package.
Obama made such an approach a central campaign theme in winning re-election last year, arguing Republican proposals that focus on spending cuts alone would put most of the burden of deficit reduction on the middle class, the elderly, the poor and disabled.
A last-gasp effort to avoid the forced spending cuts taking effect Friday amounted to theatrical staging, with Obama and congressional leaders meeting for about 45 minutes at the White House after both sides insisted they wouldn't budge.
"There will be no last-minute, back-room deal and absolutely no agreement to increase taxes," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement issued before the talks.
For his part, Obama lamented that "none of this is necessary."
"It's happening because of a choice that Republicans in Congress have made," he said. "They've allowed these cuts to happen because they refuse to budge on closing a single wasteful loophole to help reduce the deficit."
Breaking the cycle of partisan posturing will require the White House and Congress to open themselves to substantive negotiations, Republican Rep. Randy Forbes of Virginia told CNN on Friday.
"There's just way too much bravado up here, too much from White House, too much from Congress. We've got to calm people down and have them starting talking to each other, instead of at each other."
Polls show the public is about as politically divided as its leaders. While most Americans support a deficit reduction plan that includes spending cuts and increased revenue, as well as entitlement reforms, there is little agreement on the formula for such a package.
In addition, a Pew Research Center poll last week showed that a majority of respondents opposed cuts to 18 of 19 specific areas, sending the message that people don't want deficit reduction to hurt them personally.
"The American people want the federal government to reduce spending without touching actual programs," wrote William Galston a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, in a blog post this week. "Is it any wonder that long-term budget cuts have stalled and that even short-term fiscal issues tie Congress up in knots?"
Part of the blame rests with political leaders in Congress and the White House failing to level with the American public about what it will take to "wrestle the federal budget back on a sustainable trajectory for the long term," Galston wrote.
