Student Life in NYC
2015 Black History Month Celebration
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nyack College NYC Student Government Association (SGA), led by Secretary Landai Barnes, hosted a Black History Month celebration on Thursday, February 26th. The program included special tributes to Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Mahalia Jackson, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Numerous students contributed to a wonderful program that honored the lives and sacrifices of African American heroes. The program culminated with stunning performances from the Living Waters Dance Ministry and the Christian Folk Ensemble. As students went off to their 6 PM classes, they grabbed some traditional foods including delicious collard greens and sweet potato pie.
The Veterans Club - Meet & Greet
It was a great day of fellowship for our NYC College Veterans on Thursday, February 26th. Those who have served with the Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy all gathered together to share stories and discuss current issues. We are so proud to have many former (and current) members of the armed forces here at Nyack! We look forward to the next meeting and thank those who have served our country so selflessly.
Ministry Outreach - Students Against Hunger
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink…"
- Matthew 25:35
Nyack College NYC students, school alumni, and ATS graduates came together on Thursday, February 26th to minister to the homeless and hungry. The Students Against Hunger prepared approximately 100 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, packed them into bags, and traveled uptown to Penn Station to hand deliver them. The students also delivered kind words and prayers of encouragement to those who are on the streets during this harsh New York winter. Several blankets were also distributed as temperatures have reached record lows in recent weeks.
We pray that God will continue to grow and prosper this ministry. We are so proud of our Nyack College NYC students!
Special Palau Chapel - Trip to Rockland!
On January 30th, 2015, student leaders from Nyack College NYC travelled to our Rockland campus for a very special chapel service. Andrew Palau, who has shared the Gospel with over 2 million people, shared an encouraging word on Mark 2:1-12. Mr. Palau also spoke of a major citywide event to come in March -- NY CityServe and NY CityFest. We are excited about partnering with local churches to serve our city on a tremendous level. For more information, visit http://nycityserve.org/ and stay posted! We'll be back with more info on how to get involved soon.
Spring 2015 - Opening Chapel
The house was completely packed last night as Nyack NYC opened the Spring Semester with our first Chapel service! Associate Dean of Student Life, Dr. Charles Hammond, started the evening off with worship. President Scales delivered a wonderful and encouraging word on "perfect love, which casts out all fear" (1 John 4:18). All were encouraged to never give up, even in the face of what may seem like many failures. We're really excited for a great semester ahead!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) is off by 21.9 points at 16,676.81, amid mostly disappointing economic data. Consumer spending unexpectedly slipped in April, while personal income rose less than anticipated; the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final consumer sentiment report for May also settled below expectations. However, the Chicago purchasing managers index (PMI) bested economists' consensus estimate -- and rose to its highest level since October. Separately, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) notched yet another record intraday high of 1,921.48, but was last seen trading around breakeven, at 1,921.23.
Here are a few noteworthy stats at midday:

Man flown to hospital after Sturt Highway crash
A man was airlifted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital yesterday after a crash on the Sturt Highway about nine kilometres west of Waikerie.

The CFS says the man's ute sideswiped a B-double truck carrying wine tankers just before 3pm.
The truck flipped over and blocked the highway for several hours but the driver wasn't seriously injured.
Waikerie CFS Captain Graeme Ward says there have been numerous crashes on that stretch of road in the past.
"This section of road has got a rise here and the s-bends, and it is a trap for people," he said.
"People get caught here of an evening, of a night when the sun's causing problems.
"But good road conditions, good daylight - so not sure what's happened here."

Movie Info
The final months of Bobby Sands, the Irish Republican Army activist who protested his treatment at the hands of British prison guards with a hunger strike, are chronicled in this historical drama, the first feature film from artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen. Davey Gillen (Brian Milligan) is an IRA volunteer who is sentenced to Belfast's infamous Maze prison, where he shares a cell with fellow IRA member Gerry Campbell (Liam McMahon). Like most of the IRA volunteers behind bars, Gillen and … More

All Critics (117) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (104) | Rotten (11) | DVD (7)
In the desolate surrounds of a prison environment that affronts humanity McQueen finds the redemptive struggles, and unrelenting spirit in the feces smeared walls of a British prison.
...simultaneously harsh and gentle; an early shot of a tiny snowflake melting on bloodied knuckles could serve as the movie's logo.
Hunger will leave you feeling emotionally battered and bruised -- yet emerging from the cinema a stronger person for having witnessed such a beautiful and brutal film.
Not just the toughest film of the year but amongst the toughest ever made.
Hunger is tough going -- and compelling cinema throughout.
Politically, Bobby Sands' suicide meant nothing, but it illustrated poisonous lengths to which someone would go in protecting the only reality he ever knew. This is terrorism's pox, and why the Troubles - though stabilized - still bear the scars of shame.
As pretentious as it is engrossing...
Director Steve McQueen delivers one the more memorable debut features of the last several years.
a film of great visceral directness and emotional power
A poetic, almost abstract take on very real, tangible material -- a fitting artistic approach to a surreal, extreme experience most human beings will not have on their own.
... a study in the deterioration of the human body... and the will it takes to endure such self-mortification in the name of cause.
Spurious transcendence and underlined symbolism
Yes, "Hunger" is a fairly nasty affair and we don't even get to the starvation part until the third act.
If you're going to make a film about an extremist, it makes sense to tell the story using extreme or at least unusual techniques.
It's as stubbornly inscrutable as its subjects.
"Hunger" pushes through the cliches of both prison films and political films to make something original, powerful and hard to shake.
Seriously brutal.
Steve McQueen's Hunger is a daring, brutal, vital piece of filmmaking.
Midway through the movie there's an epic 24-minute scene...in the claustrophobic cell block the protesters have already internalized their cause so deeply that the world of words seems distant and inconsequential.
An alternately harrowing and poetic take on the fatal 1982 hunger strike of Irish Republican Army prisoner Bobby Sands, Hunger is also one of the most impressive feature directing debuts in years.
Audience Reviews for Hunger
Steve McQueen's debut is gripping and intense, and he displays a lot of control for a first film, creating some amazing long takes. A disturbing story showing the impact of a hunger strike on the human body, though I don't like how the plot is suddenly deviated from Davey Gillen to Bobby Sands.
MoreSuper Reviewer
I have never seen such a brutal, gut-wrenching prison film in my life! Complex emotionally and philosophically, the tensions never let up. Fassbender's commitment to the role is nothing short of astounding. The inhumanity and control of McQueen's first film towers above that of even his Oscar award winning "12 Years A Slave". If you're looking for raw, honest but brutal reality, this is a film for you.
MoreSuper Reviewer
To me, the whole film boils down to the long conversation, between Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender) and Father Moran (Liam Cunningham), a scene that takes up about a quarter of the movie but keeps you riveted throughout. Much uglier depiction of the prison conditions for Irish Republicans than, say, In the Name of the Father, and in my opinion, a much less sympathetic film, too - McQueen's work does a lot more documenting than inspiring and the work hits pretty hard, in all.

The 'starter' herbicide is for newly seeded turf.
PHILADELPHIA – A new "starter" herbicide providing post-emergent weed control without the wait, SquareOne herbicide is the latest innovation from FMC Professional Solutions, a business unit of FMC Corp. The new product has been registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use on lawns, golf courses, sod farms and athletic fields. SquareOne herbicide can be applied just one day before seeding or as early as seven days after emergence on most cool and warm season grasses. This means weed populations are reduced from the start, allowing for maximum turf density with fewer herbicide applications or the need to reseed the following spring. "Many herbicides have restrictions for use around seeding, typically seven to 30 days prior to seeding or 30 days or three mowings after emergence. SquareOne shortens this window significantly, allowing turf professionals to apply up to one day before seeding or as early as seven days after emergence," said Adam Manwarren, FMC product manager for turf and ornamental products. "This means turf will grow in faster and healthier, and renovations have a better chance of success." Designed for newly seeded turf, including interseeding and overseeding, SquareOne is a patent-pending dispersible granule formulation that features a dual action, optimized combination of active ingredients that works primarily through foliar contact and uptake, but also continues to hold back weed competition until the new turf is established. The product mixes easily in water for use in sprayers. A non-ionic surfactant is recommended, but not required. It is labeled for crabgrass and many small broadleaf weeds, and can be used in both spring and fall turf projects on lawns, athletic fields, sod farms and golf courses. SquareOne will be available from FMC authorized distributors as soon as state registrations are received. The product will be sold in a 1 acre package with a measuring device that assists with proper measurement for small or large application turf renovation projects. For information about SquareOne herbicide, including availability, contact your local FMC sales representative or visit http://www.fmcprosolutions.com/LawnCare/Products/Herbicides/SquareOneHerbicide.aspx.

January 2015 Cadet Activities
Cadets from around New Zealand took part in Bush-craft, Aviation and Maritime training activities during this summer month. CDTSGT J. Denton is an example of the standards achieved. He achieved "solo" status on the recent National Power Flying course and also gained "Top Student". The latter meant he has won a 2 hour session in an Air NZ Boeing simulator as well as a trans-Tasman flight with that company.
Other cadets succeeded in meeting demanding bush-craft skills including navigation and river-crossing as well as team leadership tasks. Selected members of our Sea Cadet Corps completed a rigorous training regime at the Navy's Whangaparaoa training centre, qualifying to command crews in their SCC Units' sailing craft.

No. 5 Georgia can't keep up with No. 8 Clemson
Georgia is facing another deep hole to start the season
Two years ago, Georgia started 0-2 after falling to Boise State and South Carolina only to win its next 10 games and reach the Southeastern Conference title game against LSU.
The Bulldogs are facing a similar situation again after falling at No. 8 Clemson 38-35 on Saturday night. Next up for Georgia is next week's SEC opener at home against the Gamecocks.
''South Carolina is going to be watching this,'' Bulldogs linebacker Jordan Jenkins said. ''We have to figure out what went wrong and do it better.''
Georgia showed off a quick-strike offense that matched Clemson point-for-point for three quarters. But mistakes (quarterback Aaron Murray had a fumble and an interception) and penalties (nine for 84 yards) cost them time and time again.
''We killed ourselves with penalties tonight,'' Murray said. ''It's tough when you get in third-and-long.''
Murray wanted to start Georgia off strongly, but struggled to move the team when it counted most. He had a 1-yard TD run with 1:19 left that cut a 10-point lead to 38-35. But Clemson's Martavis Bryant pounced on the onside kick and the Tigers ran out the clock.
Tajh Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two others to lead Clemson.
Boyd matched Georgia when Clemson's defense struggled early on. When the Tigers turned up the pressure on Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray, Boyd made Georgia pay.
The Tigers took the lead for good on Chandler Catanzaro's 24-yard field goal in the third quarter. Boyd pushed the margin to 38-28 in the final quarter with an 87-yard drive that ended with tight end Stanton Seckinger tip-toeing the sideline on a 9-yard TD pass.
''In games like this, it's always five or six plays that you've got to make. And we did,'' Swinney said.
Murray was sacked four times by Clemson's defense, considered one of the team's biggest question marks.
Boyd also had a 77-yard TD pass to Sammy Watkins and a 24-yard scoring throw to Zac Brooks. Boyd added touchdown runs of 4 and 2 yards to win the lone matchup of top-10 teams in college football's opening weekend.
It lived up to the billing, a back-and-forth classic that should vault Boyd to the top of the Heisman watch lists and get Clemson into the top five of the rankings. Boyd kept Georgia's defense on its heels all game.
''He never rattled. He never shook. His ability to run the football made us successful,'' Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris said.
Georgia had a chip-shot try for a tying kick on its next possession after Catanzaro's go-ahead field goal, but couldn't get if off because of a low snap by Nathan Theus.
Georgia's Todd Gurley ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He was slowed by a quad injury, coach Mark Richt said, after his early 75-yard touchdown run.
''I don't think there's anyone in there (locker room) ready to jump off a bridge,'' Richt said.
While Boyd soared, Murray struggled to move the Bulldogs when it counted most. He led a 64-yard, hurry up drive in the final quarter and his 1-yard TD run cut a 10-point lead to 38-35 with 1:19 left. But Clemson recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock to end Georgia's five-game series win streak.
The teams open the 2014 season in Athens.
Watkins had six catches for 127 yards while Rod McDowell finished with 132 yards on the ground in his first game replacing 1,000-yard rusher Andre Ellington.
Murray completed 20 of 29 passes for 323 yards. But threw an interception and was constantly chased around by Clemson's lightly regarded defense. The victory gives the Tigers back-to-back wins over power schools from the Southeastern Conference following the 25-24 win over LSU at the Chick-fil-A Bowl last New Year's Eve.
Tiger fans chanted ''A-C-C, A-C-C,'' after time ran out.
Boyd was the star of that bowl, too, the game's MVP. Coach Dabo Swinney declared his group a national championship team moments after the win.
Boyd was all but certain to give up his senior season for the NFL but chose to return, he said, for the chance to win games like this. The Tigers don't have a lot of stumbling blocks in their schedule - they play South Carolina State of the FCS next week - and might not be truly tested until Florida State plays here on Oct. 19.
Both teams spent the past eight months hearing about each other and were jacked up from the start as Georgia's players ran through their sidelines and down toward Memorial Stadium's hill, yelling at the Tigers as they ran onto the field.
Coaches and officials stepped between to make sure things didn't go any further.
Early on, it looked like the high-flying, Tecmo Bowl matchup everyone expected as Georgia and Clemson used big plays to get in the end zone. Boyd had passes of 17 yards to Seckinger and 25 to Charone Peake to set up his 4-yard scoring run.
Moments later, Gurley flashed through the Clemson defensive line for a 75-yard touchdown. Seconds after that it was Sammy Watkins turn as he grabbed Boyd's pass and raced for a 77-yard TD of his own.
Murray took control the next two times Georgia had the ball, and Keith Marshall's 4-yard run made it 14-all.
The Bulldogs lost last year's second leading receiver Malcolm Mitchell to a knee injury early in the game when he celebrated Gurley's scoring run, according to Richt.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, even though you were 2-0 up and you still couldn't defeat Nina Dobrev?? You must have had lots of free beer in those days! Anyway, Nina is really cute in this game, not to mention absolutely gorgeous as well... and she can sure chuck beer.
Ian Somerhalder "will be" getting married!
Nina Dobrev is opening about her relationship with her Exes.
Now that is unexpected. This is one couple (if they at all hookup) we didnt see coming. After splitting with on screen partner Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev has been mostly single. Liam was in a high profile relationship with popstar Miley Cyrus, which the couple called it off earlier last year.
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were applauded a lot by the spectators at the Peoples Choice Award when they kept their awkwardness at bay and spoke about their breakup. The ex couple won the Best Chemistry Award at the PCA and rather than being embarrassed and awkward about the award, they sportingly made fun of the situation.
It was just 2 days ago that real life ex couple, Vampire Diaries costars, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder bagged the Best Chemistry win at the Peoples Choice Award. Of course, most of us assumed that it would be an awkward moment on screen when the ex lovers would come on stage together to accept their trophy.
Well for fans of the Vampire Diaries, this piece of news will definitely offer a lot of hope. But in reality, this kiss wasnt a passionate kiss on the lips, but more like a congratulatory peck on the cheek. It so happens that Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have won the best onscreen chemistry award at the Peoples Choice Award.
Nina Dobrev is drop dead gorgeous and we know it. However things werent the same when the Vampire Diaries actress was growing up. The 24 year old actress said she was in a lot of awkward stages while growing up and due to which she was picked on in school a lot.
Nina Dobrev posed topless on Thursday in support of Obamacare. She stripped down for an Instagram photo on October 3 to draw attention toward the healthcare issue.
Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev just snagged the title from Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez! The two had been spotted together while celebrating Nina's 24th birthday.

Daytrip Pieced Vest 3 3
Awesome vest! This vest is great! It is lightweight and very versatile. The open crochet on the back is very pretty. For me it runs true to size. It adds a little jazz to any outfit--casual or dressy. Because it is a neutral color, it goes with anything and everything. I love it and will wear it often! May 15, 2014
Goes with EVERYTHING! I was a little skeptical about this piece but the girl helping me said it could go with anything and she is right! I love it over a black tank and a fun necklace. April 12, 2014
Love this!!!!! This best is perfect to add flair to a casual outfit... I love it! It fits great and is extremely comfortable, the neutral colors also work so well with the colors of all my shirts and outfits. April 10, 2014

Welfare to work
March 29, 2004
ONE WAY to measure the success of welfare reform is by caseload counts: Since 1996, America has cut its caseload by more than half. Another indicator is the resilience of welfare reform's working mothers, who have retained their jobs throughout the recent economic downturn. Their progress is the reward of their hard work and embrace of the American dream. And contrary to dire predictions, as a recent New York Times analysis of federal statistics also notes, these last-hired low-wage earners were not the first fired in this recession - they don't hold the technology and other skilled service jobs that have been shed.
readers speak out on welfare reform
September 13, 2008
Gary MacDougal can provide circumstantial evidence that welfare reform in Maryland reduced poverty, but only by ignoring the eyewitness accounts that indicate otherwise ("The welfare reform model," Commentary, Sept. 8). Since 1996, the University of Maryland School of Social Work has, at the behest of the state, engaged in a comprehensive longitudinal study of those who exit the welfare rolls. This information indicates that roughly half of the "welfare leavers" are employed in the three months after they leave welfare.
Welfare-to-work difficulties foster skepticism Administrators criticize recipients' job habits
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
September 1, 1996
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Deborah C. Washam shook her head with an emotion that appeared to be equal parts sorrow and exasperation.Of the more than 80 women she has hired over the past 17 months as part of a generous welfare-to-work program sponsored in part by Kansas City's corporate community, fewer than 25 remain on the job. Many of the others quit in a huff over perceived slights -- Washam calls it their refusal to follow directions."
Welfare reform helped, but poverty lingers on
By CLARENCE PAGE
August 15, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Ten years have passed since President Bill Clinton signed a tough welfare-reform law. I feared the worst. It feels good to be wrong. The worst has not happened, but the success is mixed. Mr. Clinton signed the law, with Republican support, to fulfill a campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it" and to make welfare "a second chance, not a way of life." The law was not as tough as two Republican-based bills that Mr. Clinton vetoed that would have cut Medicaid, child care and other benefits for those moving from welfare to work.
18 graduates begin journey from life of welfare to work They complete program on medical transcription
By Eric Siegel and Eric Siegel,SUN STAFF
October 26, 1995
Eighteen West Baltimore women are on their way from welfare to work or the promise of work typing medical reports.They are the first graduates of Back to Basics Inc., a program based in the city's empowerment zone to teach medical transcription to welfare recipients, many of whom live in public housing projects.Among them are Lakisha Hood, 22, who starts work today as a $6.55-an-hour transcriber with the University of Maryland Medical System."A lot of people say that's not much money. But you have to start somewhere," Ms. Hood, the mother of a 2-year-old daughter, said yesterday after a graduation ceremony at the Baltimore City Community College's Harbor Campus.
Wisconsin hits bumps on welfare-to-work road Despite shortcomings, program manages to cut its rolls by 70 percent
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
October 18, 1998
MILWAUKEE -- In building a bridge from welfare to work, Wisconsin, perhaps more than any other state, has prided itself on doing things right.It has spent heavily and pledged lavishly to give poor families the tools they need, from baby sitters and bus passes to case managers and community service jobs.On paper, no state has done more to replace welfare checks with workers' support.But a year after moving to the streets, Wisconsin's celebrated effort bears only an intermittent likeness to the program of customized employment services outlined in planning documents and praised from the Oval Office down.
California's welfare-to-work program is working out well Md., other states with similar plans are heartened by numbers in study.

April 23, 1992
A study of California's effort to put welfare recipients to work says it resulted in lower welfare payments and higher earnings for the people enrolled in the program -- a finding that bodes well for similar job-training strategies in Maryland and other states.The study, which is scheduled for release today, is being hailed as an initial report card on the 1988 national welfare reforms approved by Congress.OC The federal Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training programprovides up to $1 billion a year to states with programs designed to get people off welfare and into the work force.

Phelps, vice president of marketing and advertising of Carroll, the 14th largest employer in Baltimore.
Assessing Welfare Reform
May 4, 1992
Congress passed legislation in 1988 requiring welfare recipients to join a job-training or education program. In one of the first large-scale assessments since then, researchers in California reported this week that reforms there have raised the earnings of welfare recipients and reduced state payouts. That's encouraging news for Maryland and other states.The California study found that those who participated in welfare-to-work programs earned 17 percent more than those who did not, and that welfare payments to participants were 5 percent lower than to non-participants.
The underbelly of success
July 18, 2000
NO ONE waited to apply for food stamps or any other social service last Wednesday afternoon at the Howard County social services office east of Columbia. Surprised? You shouldn't be. Since 1995, the number of Howard County residents participating in the food stamp program has dipped 31 percent. The caseload of welfare recipients has fallen 86 percent, whittled down by reform rules and a robust economy. But is there more to the story? Has the stigma of the dole dissuaded eligible families from applying for help?
U.S. to issue sweeping rules to put aid recipients to work
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
June 28, 2006
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration plans to issue sweeping new rules today that will require states to move much larger numbers of poor people from welfare to work. The rules represent the biggest changes in welfare policy since 1996, when Congress abolished the federal guarantee of cash assistance for the nation's poorest children. Since then, the number of welfare recipients has plunged more than 60 percent, to 4.4 million people from 12.2 million. For the first time, the rules set a uniform definition for permissible work activities and require states to verify and document the number of hours worked by welfare recipients.
Letters To The Editor
January 13, 2005
Welfare reform a success story for Maryland The editorial "Independence pains" (Jan. 5) noted the remarkable decreases in state welfare caseloads since the mid-1990s reforms, but quickly moved past that fact to the so-called bad news the writer believes the state has ignored. The truth of the matter is that in our state, two-thirds of clients work after leaving welfare and most keep on working. And the implication that welfare reform has increased foster care caseloads is just not correct.
Congress quarrels as welfare withers
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
July 6, 2004
WASHINGTON - Welfare programs around the country are in limbo because of a stalemate in Congress that has prompted state officials to postpone new investments in child care, expansions of job training and most other initiatives for welfare recipients and low-wage workers. Congressional Republicans insist that stricter work requirements must be part of any effort to renew the 1996 welfare law. Democrats, including some who voted against that measure, now embrace it, saying only minor changes are needed.

Government figures reveal large shifts in welfare spending
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
October 13, 2003
WASHINGTON - New government figures show a profound change in welfare spending, money shifted from cash assistance into child care, education, training and other services intended to help poor people get jobs and stay off welfare. Cash assistance payments now account for less than half of all spending under the nation's main welfare program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, federal officials say. The proportion has been declining steadily since 1996, when Congress revamped welfare and abolished the guarantee of cash assistance for the nation's poorest children.
Reality check
March 11, 2003
AS THE NATION'S unemployment rate has risen, welfare caseloads in many states have been creeping up after years of reform-fueled declines. Welfare-to-work worked, of course, when the economy was booming; but now, industries that provide many opportunities for the working poor are struggling. In February alone, the U.S. economy shed 300,000 jobs -- more than 200,000 of them in service industries, according to labor figures released Friday. States' efforts to reduce their poorest citizens' dependence on handouts will suffer if the bust continues, welfare experts worry; as always, the last hired are among the first fired or laid off. So tomorrow, when the Senate Finance Committee takes up welfare reform, uppermost in members' minds should be recession-proof alternatives that build on the success of the current program.
Welfare reform: keeping the job
By Arnold Packer and Melissa Siberts
May 20, 2001
IN 1996, welfare reform sent millions of women rushing from the public assistance rolls to jobs in the private sector. One groundbreaking piece of legislation, the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity and Reconciliation Act, ended welfare as we knew it. The old system, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, relied on indefinite cash assistance to the poor. That approach robbed welfare recipients of their dignity and independence and often sentenced them to a lifetime of poverty and hopelessness.
Pressing ahead on welfare reform First deadlines: Maryland is among states that meet first test.
October 1, 1997
EVEN CRITICS of welfare reform acknowledge that states have gotten at least one important break: A robust economy has helped reduce the number of people on the welfare rolls, making it much easier for states to meet federal targets for moving people from welfare to work.The number of welfare recipients across the country has fallen from 5.1 million families in 1994 to 3.9 million as of last May. In Maryland, year-old welfare reform initiatives have helped put the state among only 17 that are certain to meet today's federal target for showing that 75 percent of their two-parent families receiving welfare benefits are employed or are participating in job-training programs.
50 senators ask action to keep welfare program
By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
September 12, 2002
WASHINGTON - Half the Senate, including many Democrats, called on the majority leader yesterday to schedule a debate on re-authorizing the welfare program created by an innovative 1996 law that expires in three weeks. In a letter Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the senators said the program should be extended for five years, with more money for child care. In May, the House passed a welfare bill along the lines favored by President Bush. It would impose stricter work requirements on recipients and provide a modest increase in money for child care.

I have been working at Williams
Work-life balance. Almost impossible to get fired. No pressure to actually do anything.
HR input into non-HR areas is out-of-control (career path, job requirements, salary)
Internally terrified to anything "social media" oriented.
Too much focus on activity and not results.
Would rather reach consensus than implement anything meaningful.
Leadership is non-existent; no strategic plan, no focus on results or goals.
Fire some people once and awhile. Make people do their jobs. Quit being scared of growing. Define actual "strategies" rather than continued misuse of the word.

There is ample flexibility in schedules, workloads, etc.ConsManagement may be too easy on employees and the culture may be too relaxed to get the necessary work done and adequately compete against more aggressive competition. Growth projects are few and far in between - risk aversion is the predominant attitude here. The conservative solution more often than not wins out over better solutions and ideas.
This is not a company for Type A personalities - they may find the culture and the people frustrating.
Employees do work in cubicle farms so if you're on the phone with a recruiter, better speak very softly.Advice to ManagementAdviceA organism that is not growing is a dead organism. Allow the good projects to move forward and take some risks. If we don't the our hungrier competitors will. It is only a matter of time before they take a big bite into our bread and butter.
