The eight outstanding authors who have collaborated in this endeavour represent the highest levels of interaction among scholars, social partners, and EU institutions involved in the European Social Dialogue. This book is the final product of their Brussels conference in October 2002, organised by the Social Law Department of Ghent University. Their deeply informed contributions respond to such probing questions as the following:
The discussions include incisive analyses of relevant law and legal theory¿pertinent EC Treaty provisions and directives, decisions of the Community¿s courts, existing and potential collective agreements¿as well as declarations of the social partners and from Community institutions. The text of the work programme drawn up by ETUC, UNICE, and CEEP in November 2002 is reproduced in full.
For all the contention it arouses, the European Social Dialogue has in fact achieved some real change in social policy and holds great promise for the future. This important book serves as a milestone that allows all concerned practitioners, academics, and policy makers to measure what we have accomplished and to identify the elements we must concentrate upon to ensure continuing progress.

When A Kiss Just Isn't A Kiss
We all remember that beautiful moment during the 2007 Black Super Bow … All-Star weekend in Vegas when Charles Barkley and NBA referee Dick Bavetta made sweet love down by the fire. Maybe we're exaggerating a bit but their kiss could have been the sign of something more sinister. We're not talking James Dobson sinister. We're talking Pete Rose and Tim Donaghy. "The donkey kicks twice at midnight. Take the Washington Generals tomorrow, Chuck. They're due."
Much has been written about former NBA referee Tim Donaghy's latest allegations about gambling in the NBA. The New York Times reports that former referee Hue Hollins claimed extensive inquiries were made about Bavetta.
In addition to asking questions about Donaghy, Hollins said the agents inquired extensively about Bavetta. They asked if he ever noticed that Bavetta "was making sure that the home team would win, and I told them I had no idea because I didn't work with him a lot."Hollins said the agents did not ask about a specific team, game or series and did not ask about Game 6 in 2002.
"They were very specific about their questioning, as though they had heard something," Hollins said. "They knew exactly what they were going after."
If Hollins is telling the truth about the FBI inquiries, there could much more to Donaghy's claims than the desperation of a doomed man. There's no way to know what other information the FBI has but it seems as though the NBA and David Stern are in for heavier scrutiny and his blanket denials may not hold weight much longer. Game 6 in 2002, the ending of Game 4 of the Lakers-Spurs series this season, the Game 5 suspensions of the Suns-Spurs series last season, etc. The denials already ring hollow with fans and many in the league.

As the market appeared to find a footing today, J.P. Morgan Chase (Symbol: JPM) yanked the rug out from the bulls and Bubblevisionistas with an incredible 10Q release and conference call which imploded the market after hours (See Bloomberg News: JPMorgan Reports $2 Billion Loss on Synthetic Positions). the truth though is that before this announcement, enough gasoline was already on the fire to indicate that there is a nasty bear phase approaching which will create a massive panic in the banksters world along with concern from Washington political elites as this is an election year after all.
There are two stocks to watch which are sending a warning signal that indeed investors are beginning to sniff a disaster on the horizon. First is the FAZ, the triple inverse ETF for the financial stocks which appears to have put in a double bottom to match against the double top from last year:
Should this stock reach it's minimum target area based on a nice bounce to near $40 per share, there will be at least a 20% correction in equities if not more should the FAZ reach closer to $50-$55 per share. It would be a damning indication that the financial stock sector is still in disarray and the nonsense that "it's different this time" was just that; a big lie to buy more time until they figured out how to deal with the garbage bonds and now new wave of failing RMBS and CMBS on the books.
Interestingly enough, the DZZ, a double inverse gold ETF appears to confirm that the precious metals might be entering into a short term bear phase which would confirm the previous articles I have posted on the subject. I'm not telling anyone how to play these stocks or to invest in these markets but the DZZ does appear to be setting up for a "Golden Cross" which is generally considered a bullish indicator for an equity over the short term:
These two ETFs along with the UDN/UUP dollar ETFs could provide the best clue as to where markets will be heading over the next 4 to 8 weeks in my opinion.

If you have read the book then go for it
By a customer from bournemouth , 08 Feb 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
The film was almost as good as the book. The film captures both of the twins growing up in very different lifes to each other. It also raises issues about down syndrome in the 1970s. A moving story.- Was this review helpful to you?

Poignant and Beautiful!
By a customer from Beddington , 04 Sep 2011This is a stunningly beautiful story that forced me to bring out the tissue box. The movie is based on Kim Edwards' novel of the same title and it focuses on the story of a bone doctor who gives away one of his twins who has Down Syndrome. The Doctor, David Henry brilliantly played by Dermot Mulroney gives his female twin child to the assisting nurse to get rid of when he realises his wife has given birth to twins, one of which is perfect and one which is not. He implies that the child will not live long so without telling his wife makes the decision to dispose of the child. He rationalises that this is to save his wife, (played by Gretchen Moll) alot of unnecessary heartache. The same heartache that his mother experienced when his younger sister died of a heart
defect at an early age. In truth he wasn't doing it to spare his wife of any heartache, but rather he was doing it for himself, to spare himself of the possible pain. Needless to say the nurse finds it impossible to give the child away and moves away with the child and becomes the child's mother. This secret that the father carried caused a rift between him and his wife, and even though he got regular letters and photos from the nurse (played so amazingly by Emily Watson) he is never moved to undo the damage he created until the end when he has left it too late as Phoebe is already an adult at 18 and thinking of marriage.
Instead he initially tells his wife that she had twins but that the baby girl died. In the meantime Phoebe (Henry's child) grows up to be a sweet girl that clearly brings much joy to all those around her. It is only when Henry dies that his ex-wife (they split up) and his son find out from photos and letters he kept hidden about Phoebe.It was towards the end of his life that he realised that his throw away child was living a normal life and that she brought great happiness to the nurse who looked after her as her mother. But by then she felt reluctant to allow Henry to have contact in case he wanted to take Phoebe away from her.This story explores the concept of perceived perfection. Sometimes children born 'imperfect' as Henry claimed can have full lives, and most importantly they can bring great joy to those around them. A human being's life is intrinsically more important and valuable than just the sum of what makes us perfect. Unfortunately Dr.David Henry (the irony of him being a Doctor made his character even more interesting, because you would think a Doctor would have a greater understanding ) realised this far too late and greatly deprived his wife and son for 18 years of the gift that came as the girl called Phoebe.- Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant Movie
By Trisha1 (13 reviews) from Grimsby , 31 May 2011Very enjoyable loved it from start to finish, I could watch it again and again. A true to life movie some-people unfortunately are like the movie portrays when a child is born with down syndrome, they just want to get rid of the burden yet they are adorable with so much love to give. You really get into this movie bit of a tear jerky.- Was this review helpful to you?

W 2800.3 P438 F-47-E-23 2010 c.1 FINAL PERFORMANCE REPORT FEDERAL AID GRANT NO. F-47-E-23 OKLAHOMA AQUATIC RESOURCES EDUCATION PROGRAM OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION JANUARY 1, 2010 through DECEMBER 31,' 2010 FINAL PERFORMANCE REPORT STATE: OKLAHOMA PROJECT NUMBER: F-47-E-23 GRANT TITLE: Oklahoma Aquatic Resources Education Program CONTRACT PERIOD: January 1, 2010 - December 31,2010 PROJECT 1: Aquatic Resources Educational Clinics Project 1 Objective: To annually instruct approximately 20,000 youth in the issues and values of water quality, fish and other aquatic life, and conservation of aquatic resources, and to conduct specialized programs such as stream clean-up and point source pollution education for various groups (i.e., physically/mentally challenged, senior citizens, and avid anglers) that are appropriate to their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Summary of Progress: Approximately 241 Youth Fishing Clinics were conducted with total attendance estimated at over 16,340. Attendance at individual clinics ranged from 4 to almost 1500 people. Instructional sessions included: angler ethics, fish identification, knot tying, casting instruction, water safety, water quality (pollution), fish cleaning, fish cooking, fishing equipment demonstrations, fisheries management, etc. Individual clinics seldom incorporated all topics. However, most clinics include 4-6 educational topics followed by an actual fishing excursion to a nearby pond, lake, or river. More than 11,005 catchable sized channel catfish and 1,750 hybrid bluegill were stocked for these events. Catfish stockings were comparable to last segment throughout Oklahoma. Bluegill stockings were much higher this year than last. Reproduction was better this year. Instructional materials, equipment and literature were purchased and distributed at fishing clinics around the state. During F-47-E-23, approximately 23 new volunteers were trained to assist with fishing clinics around the state. We now have approximately 374 active volunteers around the state. Many of them organized or taught at one or more of the more than 241 fishing clinics, presented school programs, or assisted in instructor training. Ten clinics were conducted where fly-fishing or tying was taught. Five of them were conducted at our Wildlife Expo and the rest were at different locations around the state. We did not conduct any streams clean-up or point source pollution events. We will schedule some for the next segment. PROJECT 3: Public Outreach Project 3 Objective: To develop and produce brochures, magazine articles, news releases, radio and television air time and programs regarding aquatic resources and recreational boating and fishing. Summary of Progress: Regional I&E specialists, fisheries personnel and the aquatic education coordinator presented several programs on fishing Oklahoma waters. These programs covered the different sportfish in Oklahoma, where to fish for each species, management practices and information on the Sport Fish Restoration program. Materials such as the Oklahoma Sportfish poster, fish identification stickers, Instructor Handbooks, and several other pamphlets were distributed. News releases and materials from the National Fishing and Boating Week Steering Committee were utilized during National Fishing and Boating Week. Various articles, television segments, radio shows, etc., have been devoted to the promotion of sportfishing in Oklahoma. PROJECT 7: Aquatic Resources Education Area at Department of Wildlife's Southeast Office Project 7 Objective: To improve the aquatic resources education fishing pond and make it more accessible to participants with physical disabilities by constructing a floating fishing dock and handicap accessible walkway to the dock. Summary of Progress: The 10' X 12' floating dock has been installed and has a 4 foot wide handicap accessible walkway from the bank to the dock. The walkway was surveyed by ODWC personnel, but due to weather and unavailability of personnel and equipment the walkway was not completed as planned. We will continue to work on this project. No expenditures associated with this project. Project 14: AQUATIC RESOURCES EDUCATION AREA AT ARCADIA LAKE- OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Project 14 Objective: To operate and maintain the facilities and grounds at the arcadia education facility near Arcadia Lake. Summary of Progress: Mowing and general upkeep around the pond was done throughout the segment. We conducted several fishing clinics this segment and had more maintanence Issues.

I am so excited about this. Not since getting involved with Neverwinter Nights, have I been this driven to get into something.
So, let's have a topic about it.
My plans .. are to start smallish. I'll probably start with a few small things to help tutorial me into the process and learning just what and how this tool can be used.
Initial Plans: New NPCs, with voice, that focus on being as interactive on your type of character as possible.
Next Plans: A few new dungeons or three. Chew over what's possible and different game dynamics within it. Want to see what harder puzzles are possible, from logical to stupid jumping tricks.
Big Plans: Oh, dear. Yes. I have a few, but too early to get into at this stage. I have some initial ideas still forming .. from a storyline than interweaves being 'head' of guilds (and ones you're not), through to a power behind the scenes that manipulate the dragons.
So, what do you want to do?

Anybody want my DVD player?
I'm sure everybody has heard of it. It's the one with the loopholes Region 1,2,etc. and plays i think every format except for CD-RW.
I got it last semester March or so. Have the original box and manuals and the cables that came with the player. Was kept in storage over the summer. Used for about 5 movies. I figure I might as well sell it because I need the money to pay for my PSX2
I paid over 300 for it because of the all region loophole menu, and it's in pristine and absolute mint condition. I'm asking for about $250 OBO. . <--- I'll entertain anything reasonable.
Also have these japanese anime movies for sale. Seriously not my cup of tea. MUST BE 18++ to purchase so i guess i can only accept paypal payments (my attempt to keep minors from purchasing this?)
It's Cool Devices Operations on a 3 DVD set. Retails for around $75. . Watched it once. Pretty crazee stuff. Selling for $40 OBO
Also have La Blue Girl 3 disc DVD set as well. Watched once as well. . Selling for $40 OBO. This set is kinda hard to get because I don't think it's in production. Lotta places are sold out.
I also have a few other stuff to sell, but let me think about what else first, because it's all lying around my room.
if you need anymore info please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

Combi Timer | |||
Price per Unit (each):
The Combi Timer is no longer available here. To purchase a timer, click the Buy Now button. You will be redirected to GongTimers.com where you may purchase this timer. The Combi Timer is a combination duration timer and interval timer. It allows you to set the duration of your practice session and set an interval gong within the duration for mindfulness meditation, yoga practice, reiki sessions or other practices requiring regulated timing. Setting the timer is a simple 2-step process (see image of controls below): Step 1: Inner Circle of Numbers. Turn the dial to the desired Interval setting (setting it to 0 means you don't want any interval gongs within the duration) - Press the ON button. Step 2: Outer Circle of Numbers. Turn the dial to the desired Duration setting (the duration needs to be longer than the interval or no interval gong will be heard) - Press the ON button. After 15 seconds, three rings of the gong will signal the beginning of the duration. Single gongs will be heard at the set interval. The end of the duration is signaled by several light rings of the gong followed by three final rings of the gong. The timer will turn itself off automatically after the final gongs. The volume can be switched between the Low (small musical note) and Normal (large musical note) settings. The low setting is suitable for your meditation space and the normal setting works well in a larger room or with a small group of people. Combi Timer Controls(located on the bottom of the timer)Please note that the time settings of the timer are fixed settings. That is, the possible intervals are exactly 0 (no interval), 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes. Placing the pointer between the numbers will not provide an interval somewhere inbetween - the timer will produce an interval of either the lower or higher number. This is also true of the duration settings - they are fixed durations of 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, or 90 minutes. Please note that the Cherry Wood is Natural Cherry Wood without the reddish stain typically used on American Cherry Wood Furniture. The color varies from a strawberry blond to the reddish-orange hue seen in the image above. The Cherry Wood deepens in color over time as a natural process. Listen to the Gongs
*4 - AA standard batteries are included and generally last 3 to 6 months. Optional Energizer e2 Lithium batteries will likely last 1 to 2 years, depending on use. |

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about Replogle Globes Inc Traveler - 12" Blue Ocean Globe:
This is exactly what we wanted for our 3 and 4 year old. Nothing fancy, just a globe to point out where things are. It is nice and light so we can pick it up to move it around and get a closer look. Almost exactly like the one I had growing up. Not sure why it was on sale, I'm hoping the geography is up to date, which it seems to be.

Good choice for small children
By Memom to 5
from Georgia
About Me Grandparent
I picked this globe because it was advertised as extremely durable and it had a raised relief for mountains. I have not been disappointed. I bought the globe for my 5 year old grandson who has a passion for volcanoes. He loves it, even sleeping with it next to him! It is very durable, having already withstood several "drops" that comes from a small boy toting a globe amongst other treasured things. I like that it has no gimmicks as many globes do for children, but is just a good old-fashioned globe, useful for helping my grandson find all the interesting spots in the world he hears and reads about.

Paypal Returns - Special 2 for 1 Sale
21:22, 07 Dec 2013
5 Comments
As many of you know we have had a Google Checkout option for donations but with recent changes at Google we had to change to Google Wallet. There has been some issues in set up not only for Neverendless, but for many other companies as well. So in order to help solve the problem with players having difficulty in donating, Neverendless has decided to setup a Paypal option.
The lack of a Google donation option also meant that some players were unable to to take advantage of our Black Friday 2 for 1 sale. As a result we have decided to offer another 2 for 1 sale for the next 24 hours. This sale will begin at 10pm Server Time Saturday December 7th and run until 10pm Server Time Sunday December 8th for Paypal donation ONLY .
NOTE: Management will be reviewing the Paypal option on an ongoing basis to determine whether we keep this option for Neverendless.

Black Friday Sale
According to Wikipedia,
Black Friday is the name given to the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early, often at 4 am, or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in many Commonwealth Nations. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many non-retail employers also observe this day as a holiday along with Thanksgiving, giving their employees the day off and increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of...

Keeping Your Community Clean

We are aware that from time to time rumors have surfaced that the Neverendless Staff is less than fair and just; at times the word "corrupt" has been used. It has always been and will continue to be top priority to maintain the highest standards within our Staff as well as in our Community. It is true that despite our efforts, the occasional individual with deceptive intentions will make his or her way into the ranks of Staff. While we have precautions against the potential for any Staff to abuse their powers, it is a fact of this organization as with any that from time to time abuse occurs. Sadly, in any Community the question is not "Will people do harm?" but "When and how will people do harm?" With this knowledge it is not only imperative that we carefully select our candidates but that we monitor them at all times. At this time Blackswann and I extend our sincere apologies to the Community for the corruption and abuse that through our...

Battlemasters Announce the Return of 1v1 and a Change of Rules
08:51, 27 Sep 2013
20 Comments
As of now, there will no longer be any all-out healers allowed in any of the 1v1 PvP Events held by the Battlemasters.
Why, you may ask?
First of all, healers are group assist players, not DPS. That is why they are necessary in 2v2+ PVP Events.
Second of all, it's a 1v1 PvP battle, and if you're an all-out healer then you're doing too much healing and not enough PvPing. It's not fair to the rest of the participants and honestly it's not even a fight.
To make it more balanced for everyone, we are only allowing a maximum of 20 talent points in any of the following healing specs : Restoration druids, Restoration shamans, Discipline priests, Holy priests, and Holy paladins . If you have any more than 20 talent points in any of these specs during a 1v1 PvP Event, you will be disqualified from the event. The posted rules for the event will be changed accordingly.
Furthermore, although this has already been mentioned in the 1v1 PvP events, we will emphasize it again...

text: Home Politics Keeping America's Prisons Overcrowded In a case before the Supreme Court, California Gov. Schwarzenegger is arguing that judges have no right to tell states to reduce their prison populations. By: Sherrilyn A. Ifill Posted: Nov. 29 2010 6:05 PM 0 Thinkstock America's prisons, like many of our public schools, reflect our country's most shameful and profound failings. This week the U.S. Supreme Court takes on one aspect of our nation's love affair with incarceration. In Schwarzenegger v. Plata, the state of California has challenged an order issued by a three-judge federal court under the Prison Reform Litigation Act, which requires the state to reduce its prison population to deal with overcrowding. The court found that overpopulation is directly responsible for the failure of the California system to provide inmates with adequate physical and mental health services. California argues that the prison reduction order issued by the three-judge court under the PRLA goes beyond the scope of the statute and infringes on the state's power. This case is likely to play out before the court and in the media as a battle over states' rights -- in this case, the right of the state of California to manage its own prison system -- and against the encroachment of federal judges supplanting the judgment of elected leaders with their own version of appropriate public policy. Indeed, 18 states have joined in a brief supporting the state of California and making this very argument. But there's much more at stake in this case than the age-old "state sovereignty versus federal courts" story. In fact, the federal court's prison reduction order in this case is something of a last resort -- imposed only after eight years in which the state of California, while conceding the unconstitutional overcrowding in its prison system, has failed to reduce its prison population. The Plata suit stems from an action filed back in 2001. The state conceded in 2002 that prison overcrowding threatened the constitutional rights of prisoners. Three years later, the state had failed to impose reforms it had agreed to in any of its prisons. As a result, Judge Thelton Henderson assigned a federal receiver in 2005 to oversee reforms to the California prison system after finding that although the court had given the state "every opportunity" to make reforms, the state department of corrections "lacked medical leadership" and had "a culture of non-accountability and non-professionalism," resulting in threats to the health of prisoners. Built for 80,000 prisoners, the California corrections system houses twice that number of inmates. In 2006 the first receiver's report determined that "until the ... overpopulation experienced system-wide is effectively addressed," it would be impossible to remedy the inadequate delivery of health care services in the state's prisons. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself declared a Prison Overcrowding Emergency. Driven by the chronic overcrowding problem and by the pinch of the poor economy that has left many states short of funds to maintain bloated prison populations, Schwarzenegger even proposed a plan in 2009 that would have reduced the prison population by 36,000. By then, the court's order was based on factual findings that prison overcrowding is a direct cause of the state's failure to provide adequate physical and mental health services to prisoners, resulting in the death of one prisoner every eight days. But the California Legislature failed to take up and enact a responsible plan that would have reduced the prison population. There's no political gain to enacting reforms that would release prisoners and create more-humane conditions for those who remain incarcerated. We are reaping now what we've sown in punitive policies imposed as part of the "war on drugs." We're more likely to use rules of baseball (California's three-strike policy, for example) than correctional expertise in determining our sentencing rules. Backtracking years later on the 100-to-1 ratio between federal crack and powder-cocaine sentences is regarded as a victory instead of a condemnation of the wrongheaded criminal justice policies that arbitrarily impose long and indefensible sentences burdening the lives of prisoners, the communities they come from, and our state and federal coffers. The fact that overcrowding undermines the provision of adequate health care to prisoners and exacerbates negative mental health outcomes among the incarcerated has been well-known for decades. It's also well-established that prison overcrowding endangers corrections officers and other personnel who work in prisons. In an extraordinary move, the organization representing the 35,000 correctional officers in the California system filed a brief on the side of the Plata plaintiffs, arguing that overcrowded conditions make it impossible for corrections officers to "facilitate the provision of constitutionally adequate care" to prisoners in the system. Yet states throughout the country have plowed forward, imposing draconian sentencing regimes without ensuring adequate funding or facilities to meet the needs created by policies that favor warehousing convicts over providing drug-treatment, educational and vocational-training programs -- along with services such as family support, job creation, community policing and mental health -- that are well-documented and effective means of reducing crime and recidivism.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Overall Experience: This school was like any other high school. It has it's good things about it but it also has it's not so good things. Teachers at this school were great but sometimes the students were not the best and wouldn't let the teachers teach. I think that if I had to go back to high school I would definitely go back to this school because this is where I got my education that I have now and it is where I prepared my self for college. I give my school a 8 out of a 10 rating!
Career Services: I have not graduated so this does not apply to me.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: It's extremely convenient with my schedule. there is a lot of different class times and days you can come in.
B A+F Overall Experience: I go to school simply to get an education. So I think it's great because you just go to school and leave. I personally like the very little interaction with people.
B A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The Financial Aid process is very straight forward. you can manage everything online and you do not need a lot of help. i work hard to pay for my own school so i believe I get what I am paying for.
C A+F Student Body: We have a very diverse campus at CSN and a lot of international students as well. There is really no challenge with diversity. They even offer specials classes for students who don't speak English as a first language.
B A+F Academic Experience: There are some great professors here. Some are better than others when it comes to teaching. i understand it's college and you have to do a lot on your own, but there are some who set their syllabus up a lot better than others and are clear on what they want. It is very easy to register for classes.
B A+F Academic Experience: I love my Major! I am currently a Hospitality Management. They have a great department with great experienced and passionate teachers. The Degree curriculum however has changed since I have declared this major which makes it a little more difficult. I don't think CSN helps you get a jog since this is only a two years school, it's mostly to help you transfer. I am lucky that I have a job in the Hospitality Industry to complete my work hours which are required for the degree.
C A+F Facilities: At CSN we have a great dental hygiene program. This program is actually the only 4 year program offered at CSN. Although I do not plan to transfer a benefit here is that all the credits and programs are set up to transfer to UNLV. Most kids who come here are just going for education purposes. They do not stick around and hang out at school.
A A+F Online Courses: I actually really enjoy online courses. I try to balance my schedule of half in class and half online. This helps me maintain my work load and do things at my own pace. I have great teachers who respond to emails quickly and make comments about every single assignment that is turned in. I actually prefer online classes to traditional classroom experience. We switched to a new software called Canvas that is very great and easy to use!
D A+F Campus Resources: We have a Wireless connection that students can all connect to and it is awful! It is extremely slow and you have to log in every single time you turn your device on. It makes it difficult to do class work when your internet connection is slower than molasses. Also, the copy machines are broken and don't work great at all. One time I needed to make copies and every copy machine in the library was not working.
C A+F Campus Resources: We have a Library in almost every building with access to computers. We Have a limited amount of sports that are offered at the College which is kind of disappointing. Are student center is pretty reliable. However, sometimes the students working there are not the most helpful and really only seem to care about themselves which makes it difficult to want to ask for help. The Counselors here are not great at all. I went to visit my Counselor this semester to make sure I was on track and had a question about my degree and she did nothing for me. Everything I was doing my self she did for me in a sad 5 minute appointment.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: I have had no issues. I have been offered a wide range of courses, so the flexibility is great. The majority of my credits transferred.
B A+F Student Body: We have a variety of different students that I believe enhance the learning environment.
B A+F Online Courses: I took one online course, and plan to take more. I had no issues, and felt that it was just as productive as an in class course.
B A+F Campus Resources: I have never had any issues with computer or printing access. Also, each student has wireless access with no trouble.
B A+F Campus Resources: I have not been in any of the athletics facilities. We do have a great library, and a few computer labs that adequately accommodate the students.
B A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I have not wen through the financial process at my school, but I have not heard any negative comments from other students.
B A+F Overall Experience: I am just excited to be in the nursing program to become a professional in the field I love. I enjoy have a separate area for health sciences, so I do not have to travel all over campus. My school is known for the great nursing program that we have.
B A+F Facilities: I really love our Health Sciences building, which I believe is a newer facility. Each of our classroom on campus are "smart" classrooms.
B A+F Academic Experience: My program has a great curriculum, and great faculty. We have a very high NCLEX pass rate also. Most of the instructors really want you to succeed, and the love of their job really shines through. The only downside is the occasional lack of communication, and slight disorganization within certain courses, which I am sure occurs at other schools. Overall, I am at a great school, gaining an amazing education.
A A+F Academic Experience: We have an amazing nursing program, and great instructors that push you to succeed. The registration process for my program is very easy. We have options for students whose first language is not English, and also students with learning disabilities. We also have great resources for research.
Tuition & Financial Aid: Don't receive Financial Aid
C A+F Student Body: They are okay. They just do what they need to do.
C A+F Overall Experience: This school was good to me. But when i had to submit my FAFSA they kept giving it back tome.

Put touches of natural metallic beauty in your designs with the bronzite 6mm round 8-inch bead strand from Dakota Stones.

Because these beads are made from natural materials, no two beads will look exactly alike, allowing your projects to feature unique elements every time. Dakota Stones offers high-quality gemstones that are all useable in jewelry designs because every bead is checked to make sure they are cut and drilled correctly, that the finish is right and that the beads look distinct to their stone type.

Civil War Veterans Come Alive in Audio and Video Recordings
Deep in the collections of the Library of Congress are ghostly images and voices of Union and Confederate soldiers recalling the bloody battles of their youth
- By Fergus M. Bordewich
- Smithsonian.com, October 05, 2011, Subscribe
It is only a scrap of 86-year-old silent newsreel footage: an elderly black man named William Smallwood stands in threadbare clothes against a brick wall in Boston, performing the manual of arms with a wooden crutch. "Still ready if he's needed," declares a title card, presumably reflecting the old man's sentiments. The clip is just one minute long. Smallwood provides no details of his life. Yet this bit of film is one of the rarest in existence. Not only does it capture one of the few moving images of an African-American Civil War veteran, but it may be the only one ever made of a soldier who fought with the famed 54th Massachusetts Regiment, made famous by the 1988 film Glory. (The clip inaccurately declares Smallwood to have been 109 years old at the time, proclaiming him the "oldest Civil War veteran"; he was actually about 85.)
Smallwood is just one of many Civil War veterans whose images may be seen and voices heard on reels of old film and audio recordings preserved in the collections of the Library of Congress. All are available to the public on request, although most are embedded in contemporary newsreels – for instance, a 1949 encampment of Confederate veterans in Arkansas is sandwiched disorientingly between a clip of President Harry Truman watching a staged airdrop of the 82nd Airborne Division and another clip of Don Newcombe hurling pitches to Joe DiMaggio in that year's World Series.
To most of us, perhaps, the men who fought the Civil War may seem like the inhabitants of a sort of cinematic prehistory, quaintly memorialized in Currier & Ives prints, old newspaper engravings and the photographs of Mathew Brady. But here they are, like living ghosts in the flesh, the survivors of Bull Run and Antietam, Shiloh and Chickamauga, who saw Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee with their own eyes, and cheered their comrades into battle with these very voices that we now hear.
Thousands of Civil War veterans lived far into the 20th century. In 1913, 54,000 Union and Confederate veterans gathered at Gettysburg for the battle's 50th anniversary, and an astonishing 2,000 were still alive to show up for the battle's 75th anniversary in 1938. (Both events are represented in the library's film and audio collections.) The last verified Union veteran died only in 1956, and the last Confederate in 1951. From the early 1900s through the 1940s, they were filmed, recorded and interviewed at reunions, parades and other patriotic events where, as the century advanced, they came increasingly to seem like ambulatory trophies from some distant age of heroes.
Most of the 20th century shows bent, bewhiskered and ribbon-festooned vets mingling with old comrades, visiting monuments, swapping memories and – a favorite trope of the era – shaking hands with their former enemies. By the late 1930s, faced with the looming threat of totalitarianism in Europe and Japan, Americans were more interested in national unity than they were in reliving old divisions. Typically, in a sound-only radio address at Gettysburg covered by NBC News in 1938, Overton Minette, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (the leading Union veterans' organization) declares, to the sound of ceremonial cannon fire, "Let [us] be an example to the nations of the earth. . . that the deepest hate can be resolved into love and tolerance." Following him, the Rev. John M. Claypool, the commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, drawls, "I have to forgive my brother here for anything that may have occurred between us. We can't hold anything against each other."
Many clips are less solemn. In one newsreel, ancient but still frisky vets dance hoedown-style with a bevy of young women at a Confederate reunion in Biloxi, Mississippi. In another, also dating from the 1930s, old Confederates decked out in gray uniforms step up to a microphone and, one after another – their eyes flaring for a moment with the ferocity of their youth – let loose with the howling yelp that was once known as the fearsome "Rebel yell." One of them, paunchy and stooped with the years, shrills, a bit unnervingly even now, "Go for 'em boys! Give 'em hell."
First-person interviews are frustratingly few, and brief. Newsreel and radio reporters were clearly more interested in keeping things moving than they were in eliciting detailed recollections of the vets' battlefield experiences. The often truncated fragments that survive can be tantalizing. Interviewed in 1938, one of the last survivors of Pickett's charge, O.R. Gilette of Louisiana, declares, "We got about ten feet up the slope [of Cemetery Ridge], then we had to turn, then we run, run, run like hell." A veteran of George Custer's cavalry division who was present at Appomattox in the last moments before Lee's surrender, interviewed by the same NBC reporter says, "We were about to charge, we had our sabers drawn, when a flag of truce appeared. . . " when the reporter inexplicably cuts him off in order to move on to another subject.
Parades figure prominently in many of the film clips. One of the most remarkable shows a contingent of veterans marching briskly along a New York City street in 1905. In itself, it is not a particularly dramatic scene. But what it represents is extraordinary. The parade is actually the funeral procession for the last veteran of the War of 1812, Hiram Cronk, who had just died at age 105. A motor car brings up the rear carrying, it appears, several more infirm Civil War veterans. It is as if the 18th century were touching the fingertips of the 20th before our very eyes.
Sadly, in the eyes of the press, not all Civil War veterans were equal. No black volunteers served with the Confederacy, while African Americans contributed some 160,000 volunteers to the Union war effort. Yet they are almost never even acknowledged, much less seen or heard in the library's films and recordings. Ironically, however, the most surprising film of African American "veterans," a few minutes of silent footage made at a Confederate reunion in 1930, shows a dozen elderly black men wearing fragments of gray uniforms, flourishing miniature battle flags and wearing lapel buttons representing Robert E. Lee. Enslaved body servants, or perhaps laborers who had been pressed into service by Confederate armies, they were presumably served up to newsmen as "proof" that slaves were so loyal and happy in their servitude that they fought to retain it.
After Reconstruction, the role of African-American soldiers was largely airbrushed out of the war's narrative in the name of national reconciliation. William Smallwood's brief martial appearance against that brick wall in Boston thus stands as a powerful if all too fleeting reminder of both the sacrifice of the black volunteers who fought for the Union, and of the nation's promises to them, so many of which would remain unfulfilled generations after the Civil War had ended.

As I sat and watched the video of the old confederate soldiers with my husband and children I was suddenly overcome with emotion . It struck me in an instant that these men were REAL - not just a photograph or an image in a PBS special These men were probably just babies - young boys or men who had no idea how terrible it was going to be and how their lives would change Yet here they were...so old and happy and proud They had made it through I couldn't decide what touched more - them or the boys that didn't make it This video made it suddenly so real to me and all I could think was God bless their sweet sweet souls

Every legal citizen in the U.S.A should be required to view those civil war soldier,s . True and honest people they were.

It holds me in awe to be able to look at film footage and see moving and hear speaking images of men who actually fought in the Covil War. To hear voices that spoke on the fields of battle of that long and costly struggle makes it so much more real as to the human cost of the war I never knew such footage existed I watched the clip of the Rebel Yell and to know that I was seeing and hearing men and voices that were there at the places and events I have only read about to me is absolutely AWSOME I shall research to find more

What a smug article. The author states regarding black confederates in the film "Enslaved body servants, or perhaps laborers....they were presumably served up to newsmen as "proof" that slaves were so loyal and happy in their servitude that they fought to retain it. The author provides absolutely no proof for his assertion. He does not even know them names of the black veterans in the film so he cannot state that they were laborers, body servants or anything else. Whatever the case the black veterans were there and accepted as such by the white confederate veterans. That is an undeniable fact.

I am encouraged by this defense of the South. The Constitution is very clear on the matter, and any further debate on secession is a waste of time.
What many do not know about antebellum Southern whites is that they knew the institution of slavery was a Domesday machine: they knew that this form of labor had become a moral and spiritual liability, as well as a financial one. Its days were numbered, and any number of diaries (especially the womens') will support this. Problem to many slaveholders was the loss of a rather valuable commodity, at least all at once.
Southerners wanted to be rid of it. But they wanted to emancipate at the state level, in their own time and not on the orders of a distant, Moral Majority.
Instead, the country was broken by war, habeas corpus suspended, a president assassinated, the South thrown into a virtual 3rd world state of poverty for 120 years and the blacks thrown into another type of plantation system that continues to this day.
Well done...did the end justify the means? Or have we even reached the end?

My maternal family fought for the South. That being said, I wholeheartedly disagree with the tenor of the revisionist pro-Confederacy commentary posted here. The degree of seething bigotry and anti-Americanism steaming out from between their unapologetic words is disheartening, to say the least. Some people really will never learn.
Posted by Joe on December 29,2011 | 03:47 PM
The video image of the rebel yell is haunting. One of the fascinating things for me about the CW and the years after the war is the technological changes. When the war was fought photography was in it's infancy and all we have are grainy photographs to stir the imagination. To fast forward into the early / mid 20th century and see these men on film is really an amazing testament to the rapid advancement of technology in our lifetime. Amazing!
A couple points - there wer NOT thousands of African Americans serving in the ranks of the Confederate Army as VOLUNTEERS. These were men impressed into fatigue duty to free up the undermanned rebels to fight. There is a big difference between being impressed (slave) labor forced to work for the benefit of the rebellion than taking up arms against the union. So lets set that little bit of mythology aside.
The Union employed African Americans in much the same way - both as enlisted soldiers and as non combatant laborers.
As to whether or not the war was about states rights. Take a few minutes and read the various states declarations of secession. There is one overriding theme - the fear tha the federal government would take away the states rights .. to own slaves.
It might also be pointed out that the slaveholding states had absolutely no problems with the prosecution of FEDERAL laws such as the Fugitive Slaves Act - when it was convenient for the benefit of the slave holding states. This flies directly in the face of the theory that the seceding states were interested in states rights - they only were to the extent that slavery could continue.

There was a time long ago in our nations history when we had the chance to fulfill the dream of the founding fathers and become a great society. A country for the whole world to emulate and admire. We instead killed the cause of freedom when it rose up in defiance of the Lincoln administration and now our children are taught in their schoolbooks to admire the tyrant who allowed the war to take place. If the South could have won its freedom it would be a different world to live in. Federal tryanny over the rights of the people and the States would be limited and the power of huge corporations would be much more limited. I truly wish I could go back in history with nuclear weapons and instruments of modern warfare to give to Lee's army and that Lincoln would have been forced to beg for peace on terms favorable to the South and to the cause of Freedom. My only regret is that the South did not win its freedom.

Read the book, The South Was Right, by the Kennedy brothers and learn why is was.
My family lines are both northern and southern....I praise the work of my gg grandfather, Joseph Wesley Crowder, for supporting and feeding from his farm (plantation) General Lee and his struggling army at Petersburg at war's end. My gg grandfather's black servant wanted to go along to help out too...the end of that war marked the end of Constituional America as created by our Founders. We have the leviathan Federal monstrosity today because of the defeat of the south and their cause of liberty....a legal, Constitutional secession, by the way.

There were more than 700 of Richmond's leading Confederate Citizens that would be members of the Lee Camp, and if you visit Richmond today and travel down Monument Avenue - many of the Lee Camp were the leaders that were responsible for the monuments. If you visit the VHS "Virginia Historical Society" museum on the Boulevard, the Lee Camp in 1910 granted property for the building of the "Battle Abbey" of the South of the Confederate Memorial Institute, which merged with the VHS. If you visit the VMFA, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts - in 1934, the R. E. Lee Camp No. 1 C.V. donated the land to the Virginia Arts Assoc. and provided a gallery in the Battle Abbey for the Barton Payne Collection that the Arts Assoc. received - Allowing the VMFA to build their Musuem and receive their property. The National Headquarters of the UDC now rests on the location of the Soldiers' Home Hospital. Several members of the R. E. Lee Camp were the founders, Publishers, Editors, Secretaries, and writers of the "SHSP" or the Southern Historical Society Papers.
What is significant in this narrative is that the leaders of one of the most prolific Confederate post-war groups, the Lee Camp always extended courtesies and plesantries to those Northern opponents, as evidenced by the vast volumes of correspondence in the archives of the Camp records in the Virginia Historical Society library. Post War - the Veterans of the Armies came together to Rebuild this Nation, and they didn't call each other Traitors. They set aside their differences to move on to a New Nation.
Unfortunately, the presentation of history's narrative today, simply misses the efforts of these old veterans to bring this Country together. I am afraid that this author failed in his opportunity to do so, missing the issue that the story of blacks in America is far more complicated than just merely blaming one region for the war.

The R. E. Lee Camp No. 1 Confederate Veterans formed in 1883 (Chartered in 1884), and meeting in the Richmond 1st Virginia Armory, with the Union Veterans of the G.A.R. Post of the Phil Kearney Sub-Post of Newark. 20 years earlier these men were facing each other on various battlefields, but extending courtesies to each other - visited the battlefields and attended the memorial services at the graveyards at Seven Pines and Hollywood Cemetery.
One of the reasons for the Lee Camp forming was the creation of a Soldiers' Veterans Home in Richmond to attend to the needs of the homeless and destitute. The Phil Kearney Post adopted the Soldiers' Home Project, and a New York meeting between the Lee Camp and G.A.R. Officers resulted in a National Effort by the G.A.R., with Gen / President Grant donating $500 to the effort. One Union Veteran, who had lost both legs, appeared at a Richmond fundraising to present a speech at a Fair and Bazaar, with other Union Veterans contributing to the Soldiers Home, from around the Country. Grant wrote a letter, published in National papers endorsing the Richmond Soldiers' Home of the R. E. Lee Camp, and plays and musical productions in New York and Washington D.C. helped in the efforts. The funds raised, purchased 46 acres of land in Richmond, and by January of 1885 the Soldiers' Home was opened.
The R. E. Lee Camp Soldiers' Home project was one of their many projects and efforts, as they met many times in meetings with Union G.A.R. veterans. The Lander Post from Lynn, Mass. donated an Organ for the Soldiers' Home Chapel, and on the grounds of the Richmond Soldiers' Home - North & South came together in an Organized Fashion with Reunions, Meetings, Correspondence, and a Common Purpose - Rebuilding this Nations Unity. General Grant and the Lee Camp would correspond in the last months of his life, and it would be an "Honor Guard" from the R. E. Lee Camp No. 1 Confederate Veterans, who would attend the funeral of the General.

Even the Carl Sandburg biography of Abraham Lincoln says that the war was about secession from the union and states' rights versus a strong and centralized federal government. Abolitionism was a side issue exploited by Lincoln to speed the end of the war.
Posted by Charlie J. Ray on November 16,2011 | 09:13 PM
The Smithsonian's denial of the brave black men who fought and died for the South, memorialized in news accounts, personal accounts, and even Union military records, is an insult to those men--and their casual dismissal at seeing those people stand and be counted (although according to the Smithsonian they don't count!) is an even more vicious one.
I suppose, after seeing what the Smithsonian did to Mark Sternberg, I shouldn't be surprised at seeing them insult and slander others--but as an American and a Southerner, allow me to still be disappointed.

I simply cannot understand why Confederates are celebrated. They fought against their own compatriots and legally elected government! And so many of their military leaders had previously been commissioned in the US army; therefore they were traitors to the country they had sworn to protect and to the constitution they had sworn to uphold.
Do we celebrate the Fort Hood soldier who decided he could not support his government's actions in Iraq and Afghanistan and then expressed this dissatisfaction by killing people on the base? Of course not. Confederates did the same thing, just on a bigger scale.
If I were the descendant of someone who took up arms against the US, I would be ashamed of my ancestors' actions.
