As President Barack Obama proposes a program to get the U.S. out of the deep, deep hole the Bush administration put us into, the Republicans scream strange comments about "family values." Family values have been under attack since Ronald Reagan took the presidency and suddenly found Jesus. Reagan, who had a reputation in Hollywood for womanizing, and who had been a labor union advocate and Democrat, found that he could garner far more political capital by being a far right conservative. The right-wing hounds hovered around him eagerly because he could be manipulated by big money and big business. He was led like a puppet to put forth the greed-capitalist agenda. And he "succeeded." The immoral-but-moralizing right-wing was in its glory. And it went out to destroy everything that might get in its way. Labor unions, blacks, and liberals were favorite targets of the right-wing.
Black people were put in prison for minor offenses, but offenses that made for good political headlines. Of course there was racism in this, but it got people elected. Jails become loaded with black people like never before. And in the process America's black society further became imperiled as it became popular to demonize minority women as taking welfare and driving a Cadillac. While black people in America never had a level playing field and had been mistreated throughout our history, the missiles fired from the right-wing on black culture ravished African Americans. There became an absence of black men in black culture outside the criminal justice system. I know all the camouflage the right-wing uses to "disprove" all this, but the fact remains that the Republican programs have aimed there most destructive weapons at black society here.
A New Direction for America
One of the most popular polls in America is the one for how popular is the president. It gets reported as a yes/no poll asking Americans if they approve of the way they approve of the way the president is doing his job. This question is usually followed up by one asking if Americans believe that the country is headed in the right direction. Although the results are generally reported in a yes/no format, it usually seems difficult to answer this question definitively one way or the other. There is usually a lot of gray area. Until now.
In under two months I am greatly losing a level of confidence that I have in the government and the president. The future of this country is definitely going in the wrong direction. It was a quick change to a steep fall. President Barack Obama has delegated the direction of his policies or to Congress. And what they have produced is more than disappointing. In about six weeks, they have produced more budget busting legislation in the name of recovery that is going to do more long-term damage than any short-term good. The so-called stimulus package was nothing more than passing the liberal agenda of items that had been taken off the agenda of Congress or taken out of other bills. It is nothing more than that projects in pork contributed by just about everyone in Congress and is being sold as having no earmarks. After tripling the deficit, President Obama made an address to Congress saying that he was going to get the deficit under control. The next day, another bill for $410 billion passed Congress. President Obama also has preached to the country an era of self responsibility. Yes, this is one area in which Americans have plenty of room for improvement. However, the programs being expanded and the tax code changes are clearly steering people to the glamour of government dependence. He claims a tax break for 95% of America, yet is introducing cap and trade-a tax that will double the rate paid for electricity. The evil rich are going to be paying more in taxes to support the agenda of the liberals in the federal government. Was this the change America voted for?

Limbaugh's Wait Shortened
When Barack Obama was campaigning for president, he pledged that if elected, he would hit the ground running. It was clear that America had avoided in its leadership. George Bush left Americans yearning for leadership. It was time for change. Even though it's six weeks into the administration, it is clear that we have cut the cord from George Bush. What has happened since January in what is happening now is the responsibility of the Obama administration. It does not make sense, nor can it be considered effective leadership to continually blame George Bush for what is going on in our country today. Of course, the economy is on the forefront of everybody's mind. We are in a recession. This will now be known as Mr. Obama's recession. Unless of course it turns into a depression.
President Obama said we must act quickly to turn the economy around. He then signed into law a bill called the stimulus package that does not spend most of its money for two more years. President Obama said we must not take fiscal responsibility for the federal budget. He then proposed a budget that will quadruple the annual deficit and then work towards cutting that in half. This still means that annual deficits will be double what they were in the Bush administration. That's if he achieves this goal in four years. President Obama said we must end ear marks and then goes on to sign another bill that is replete with earmarks. President Obama may have finally realized that the stock market has plunged about 5000 points since he was elected. Obama then goes out to make a public announcement encouraging people to buy stocks. Then, of course the stock market dropped another 300 points. Who would be taking investment advice from this president?
President Obama is taking the role of an activist president. Okay, Americans may like that on the aggregate. However, every time he goes out and proposes a new government program, the economy gets worse. The stock market drops, joblessness rises, retail sales fall, and the automobile industry threatens to go bankrupt. Tax increases are on the horizon. The cap and trade tax plan is going to be a disaster for anyone who uses utilities, that would be just about everyone. Obama has completely destroyed investor confidence in America. There is absolutely no reason to buy stocks today. His ambition to redistribute wealth will reduce the wealth in America. But where is it going? It is not going to the poor. The tax plans for America have not made the wealthy happy. Again, who cares if the wealthy are happy, but on the other hand is all this expansion of government making the poor happy?
Especially since the reactionary presidency of Ronald Reagan, America has been hell-bent on "lock 'em up and throw away the key." With the introduction of drugs into American culture during the horrid Vietnam War, breaking the law to get a fix permeated all of society in the U.S. Ironically, the very conservatives who wanted to lock up all drug offenders, had supported the Vietnam War and the Contras in Nicaragua, both wars greatly causing the rise in illegal drug use here. The path of drugs to America can be laid largely at the feet of conservatives. History has a strange way of showing us the truth.
What has happened since the Reagan administration's decision to lock up more people, even for minor offenses? The obvious result can be found in the astronomical increase in the prison population. Another result has been the deterioration of the inner cities where drugs and crime go hand in hand as the white population was not serving sentences as long as blacks, and where white suppliers internationally rarely went to jail. Young blacks, either coming home from Vietnam or living in despair in an unequal world, turned to drugs for "relief." Marijuana smoking often resulted in long sentences in prison, sometimes even a life sentence for using or selling weed. Cheap crack cocaine, used primarily in poor areas, resulted in far harsher sentencing than the white-preferred powder cocaine. Blacks were taking a double hit in this system.
A Source for News?
When George Costanza was once asked why he got out of bed in the morning, he replied, "I like to get the daily news." This is funny because it is true. I'm sure there are lots of people across America who like to get the daily news. With seemingly endless hours of local news, and with multiple channels on cable with 24 hour a day news, you would think that it would be easy to find limitless and interesting news. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Especially with local news, or seems to be a very shallow pool of items to report on. The main stories are broken into so many pieces that you cannot figure out what is actually going on because they only give you one piece at four clock, one piece at four thirty, one piece at five, one piece at six, the rest of it at ten. After six hours of trying to watch the news, you still don't know what's going on. Now the stations are cutting back. So now, instead of reporting on items such as what is going on in the world, you get a four-part series on how the snow is melting. How newsworthy! I understand that part of the reason that you can't get any objective news is that the news stations have the huge liberal bias. They completely overlooks the gaffes that President Obama does like giving DVDs to the Prime Minister of Great Britain. It doesn't disconnect on how Obama tells people that stocks are a nice bargain because they have a good profit to earnings ratio. And it overlooks items that would be of interest such as how tattoo removal is included in the stimulus package.
George W. Bush inherited a budget surplus from Bill Clinton. By the end of two terms of the Bush administration, trillions of dollars have been added to the national debt. What do you think the deficit is? It is an astronomical new tax. It has to be paid. And as the cowardly Bush administration often did, it ran away from its responsibility and dumped it on the next president: Barack Obama. And to add to the gutless actions, now the Republicans are screaming, "No new taxes!" It was a Republican administration that ran up the biggest debt and thus the biggest tax burden in U.S. history.
We cannot just stand on the sidelines and scream about taxes; that is what the Republicans and Limbaughites do. The problem inherited by the current administration must be dealt with now. . We cannot just shove it aside. The current administration of Barack Obama is not that insensitive to families. It cannot simply add to the debt that already will be passed onto our children and grandchildren. As we now have to face, action is needed to begin to clean up the horrible mess the conservatives made. Here it is, now we have to deal with it. Taxes, run up and passed on by the neocons, will now have to be paid. The taxes you will be faced with are by and large levied on you by Reagan and Bush. The irresponsibility of those years is now shoved into your face, whether you like it or not. Obama must deal with what Bush ran up and avoided.
Why am I endorsing JD Watts?
Because only one candidate in the judicial election for Branch 15 has demonstrated himself to be a capable, intelligent, and vigorous professional in the court system. That man is JD Watts, and he will be an excellent addition to the bench.
From the robber barons, through the early industrial giants, to the big corporation bosses [Ford, DuPont, etc.] who helped Hilter rise to power in Germany, to those who fought every social program of FDR, to the McCarthyites and the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, to Goldwater, and especially to Ronald Reagan and the Bushes, there has been an attempt to fight every humane piece of legislation offered in the House and Senate. While the U.S. came close to setting up a fascist state with the attempt to violently overthrow FDR [see General Smedley Butler, twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and asked by DuPont to head this scheme], we have only had bouts with the power of the extreme right, not very far from fascism. McCarthy made a Commie suspect out of everybody. The fight between fascism and communism was fought through the latter two-thirds of the 20th century, and in the minds of the right-wing, that fight is not over until a fascist or fascist-like state is created in the U.S. If you are not a right-winger, you are labeled a communist or socialist.
Through these same years, many peoples' lives were ruined simply from being called a communist. Today the claims of the right-wing have switched, and the term "socialist" in put on any social legislation or program that helps anyone but the richest Americans. Sadly, many middle class Americans have been hoodwinked to believe the rich. The result is a series of complex laws and tax regulations that benefit the richest Americans. Now that that favoritism is in place clandestinely, the right-wing screams "no new taxes" because they already have a system that benefits them to the detriment of the poor and much of the middle class. Greed and huberis reign in the right-wing, and this sort of viewpoint is not only considered best, it is the mantra of everything that goes on in Washington and state capitols.
Stimulus Money to be Wasted
One would think that after a lot of publicity on how important it is to spend money wisely with the severe downturn in the economy, the government would lead the way. With the immalleable support of the left and the leftist media, public supporting business is at an all-time low. Cases like that of Bernard Madoff, and the AIG bonus payout have not helped restore Joe sixpack's confidence in the business world. Since last fall, people have looked to the government for their solutions. They looked for answers and bail outs. People are looking for anything except how to do things themselves.
The patience of the country is becoming short. We've been asked to act quickly and swiftly during this worst economic times since the Great Depression. Well, we did act quickly and incautiously. Now we want results just as quickly. Yet, we find that things have gotten sneaked into the stimulus bill that are going to be a complete waste of money. Tom Barrett snuck in a project for public transportation that many experts will claim will not be used efficiently to become self-sufficient or even nearer a breakeven point. Well, government is not a business, still it should not be wasting money that is going to require huge tax increases in the near future to sustain. People are talking this as choice in public transportation. Why do people who need and use public transportation needs several choices? The city cannot even support choice when it comes to a newspaper. It can barely support shopping choices. Becoming a city full of Wal-Mart's is not a choice for shopping.
With the neocon flights of military grandeur plummeted and beaten into the ground by the entire world, the right-wing is now turning its desire to attack somebody, and that somebody is America. Instead of re-directing their efforts toward helping solve the tremendous problems at home that THEY created, they choose instead to follow Rush Limbaugh's words and hope for failure in the U.S. Imagine! These are the people who made so much of patriotism and following President Bush into an illegal war, handouts to the richest Americans, no-bid contracts to Bush-Cheney buddies, torture, destroying the federal budget, and blind adherence to whatever came out of the White House, even in its most obvious mistakes. How do you like your patriotic right-wingers now?
There never should be blind adherence to a President of the U.S. And obviously there should never-never be blind adherence to the actions of one political party. The Democrats are far too cozy with monied interests themselves. The Democrats were far too willing to go along with the atrocious mistakes of the Bush administration. And the Democrats themselves are an embarrassment to President Barack Obama.
The Polls will Lead the Way
There seems to be more and more proof available to the political aware that Barack Obama is in over his head. As America still struggles to pull itself out of this economic crisis, Americans are also looking for leadership. Democrats have been whining for years about the shortcomings of the Bush administration and his times stay tough, they continue to blame Bush for their failings. Strong leaders will stay focused and work toward solutions. For strong leaders, it does not matter who created the mess nor does it matter who gets the credit when problems get solved. I doubt if you'll see any of that in this administration.
Barack Obama's only accomplishment of executive management prior to winning the presidency of the United States is running a campaign. So if that's the only thing that he does well, he continues to do it. Well, the election is over, Obama won, so it's time to shift gears. It's time to put into action what he promised to do on the campaign trail-get results. As his popularity numbers begin to decline, Barack Obama decides to go out on the campaign trail and campaign against Bush Cheney. It should be an easy debate -- there is no one on the opposing side.
In the United States, where our Founding Fathers hoped to establish a society free from religious coercion, we have done just the opposite. "People of faith" in the U.S. almost always assume we are talking about Christianity. And those most steadfast in their opinions are often far, far away from the intent of Jefferson and Franklin. Christianity in the U.S. is an odd mixture of greed-capitalism, narrow evangelism, judgmentalism, anti-intellectual, anti-science, and not at all reflective of the word they love to throw around, freedom. So, out of this cave-dweller mentality have evolved many selfish things, many that would seem to be abhorent to the Jesus who preached peace.
Militarism. This has been monied fuel for the industrialists and the politicans they have purchased. As a Republican President, Dwight Eisenhower, warned us: beware of the over-reaching influence of the military-industrial complex in the U.S. This complex has drained trillions of dollars out of the American economy and sent us on military adventures that have led to our embarrassment and enemy-making in the world. Each of our recent wars have turned more people against us than has garnered us friends. Yet the money keeps rolling in. Added to this has been the military-industrial control of American media. Much of today's major media is not owned by media people, it is owned by some huge corporate octopus that his its tentacles in all sorts of military equipment and service. And many of these military-industrialists and their puppet politicians make certain to parade themselves as sincere religious people. Gag.

Governing Out of Anger
A few weeks ago President Barack Obama said in a statement that his administration will not govern out of anger. And because we have seen that the president likes to double his chances of being correct, the government is now governing out of anger. We are being led to believe that this is out of a course of action brought on by the greed of American capitalists employed at AIG. Well, let's take a step back. If the president and Congress have taken time to look at what is in the stimulus package that was being rushed through Congress, they would have found the items that they are acting so surprised to have uncovered. Congress and the president signed into law the bailout providing AIG with the funds to pay out the bonuses. Now they believe they are righting a wrong by taxing 65 people in this great land of ours.
Although there is not a lot of support for these taxpayer funded bonuses, the way they are now being handled is just as wrong as the bonuses are in the first place. To begin, Congress ought to know that you cannot pass ex post facto laws in the United States. They ought to know this, but apparently they are so stupid that they don't. Perhaps that's why they don't read any of the bills that get signed into law is. They are too dumb. Yet we're supposed to look to them for policies that make sense to bring us all up of the current economic basis.
It is amazing how much has been done by President Obama in a few short weeks. As the right-wing fires up its list of things that they want Obama to do to solve all the problems from Reagan to Bush, they are now demanding that it be done by...oh, say next week Tuesday. When George Bush the Elder was running against Ronald Reagan in 1980, he called Reagan's financial plans, "voodoo economics." That's what it was alright. And the scheming card tricks of the Reagan hucksters set us off on a course of unregulated corporate greed that led to the inevitable crash we are now experiencing after almost 30 years of tricksterism. The people who knew the most about the economy were bought off with big bonuses so the favors could be handed out to pharmaceutical giants, military-industrial behemoths, media octopi, oil cartels, etc. The mounting greed and self-serving stealing had to end sometime. Unfortunately, the huge corporation execs had theirs safely hidden away in off-shore companies and foreign banks. Now we are paying AIG to bail out some of these foreign banks.
That means that you, sucker, were not only fleeced once, but fleeced again as your money flows through taxes to some of the same swindlers in other countries. And we voted for some of these guys and gals! While the majority of the early schemers were Republicans, the money got so great that far too many Democrats joined the fleecing of the flock. Now, while the crooks have their loot stashed away, they yell, "No more taxes!" "Cut Medicare!" "Privatize Social Security!" "No more pork!" "Get the government out of our business!" Wow, the screams are deafening. But these screamers were and are glad to take the money when it heads straight to their pockets. They want it straight from your pocket to their stash.
What is the major reason the most militant Moslem terrorists do not want any encroachment on their carefully crafted culture? Women's rights, or in the case of the militants, lack of women's rights. The male leadership wants to hold onto their privileged place in that society. Multiple wives? Sure. And what do you think is waiting for a terrorist who bombs innocent civilians? Scores of young virgins to serve him in paradise. No schooling for women. Insistence on wearing clothing that covers their faces and bodies and allows them no individual expression. They must remain silent. No driving autos. No speaking up to their husbands. No choice in who their marriage partner will be. Subservience to their male leaders and/or to their husband. Separated in most activities from the more lenient activities of the men. This is a religion that is afraid of women. This is a religion that is weak and must show its strength through violence to anyone who challenges its practices. This is a religion that does not listen to others, but wants to force its will on others.
Much of this is true of most religions in their extreme elements. But we tend to overlook the lesser position we assign to women in our own religious practices. The majority of Christians in the world do not allow women to serve as clergy. The head of the church [patriarch or pope] must be a man. Religious ceremonial rites place women in a secondary role. And the more militant is the form of Christianity, the more male-dominated it is. Please-please don't try to ply me with examples of tokenism in a specific denomination or sect. The majority of Christians have beliefs that are more akin to practices from the Dark Ages than the 21st century. Strict religious adherence equals inequality.
Government Shifting the Burden
One of the most overused phrases today by our political leaders is that we are living in unprecedented times. Although the economic cycle regularly goes from prosperity to recession, we're being led to believe that recessions are not only avoidable but their origins have specific points of blame. Many of these points of blame can be directed to people. Governments and the media would have us conclude that these decision-makers can and should be eliminated and we will live happily ever after.
Problems have to be dealt with by people. We have to direct efforts to our problems to cause solutions. This is what political people do. When things go well, they centralize credit, and when things go bad, they diffuse blame. There have never been better examples of this going on than there is today. At the state level, we have seen six years of gross mismanagement of the state budget. Having the exact same amount of time to make things better, Jim Doyle continues to screw things up. It would be easy for him to point fingers at the mismanagement of the past six years, but he would have to point them at himself. He has initiated efforts to largely extend the role of government at the state level that has wound up having to put a larger burden on those who pay taxes. Like the president, he thinks he can stick it to the rich and business entrepreneurs and they will like it.
Cuts Sometimes Necessary
I know there are plenty of people out there who believe government is always too fat. They've never been in government, and many of them have never even attempted to run a business, let alone a municipal budget, but they're confident that government is too fat because some talk show host has told them it is.
Is it true that some government employees are slackers? I would answer that this way -- just as people in the private sector slack off, there are those in the public sector that do too. Whether it's taking extra time on a break, an extra long lunch hour, taking a few extra pens from the supply cabinet, or just staring non-productively at that picture of a loved one sitting on your desk, folks who do these things don't think of themselves as slackers or part of the problem. However, if they're in the public sector, there will always be people who point to the worst offenses and suggest that the entire position that person works in should be eliminated.
Yes, I am aware of the Holocaust. Yes, I am aware of the pogroms. Yes, I am aware of anti-Semitism. Yes, I am aware of the death camps and forced labor. Yes, I am aware of the discrimination faced against Jews in the U.S. and elsewhere. Yes, I am aware of the horrible, ongoing rockets launched from Gaza into Israel. Yes, I am aware of the attempts by Egypt and Syria to invade Israel. Yes, I am aware of Israel's vulnerability in its area of the world. Yes, I am aware of Arab terrorism inside Israel through the years. Yes, I am aware that Israel is a democracy amid a sea of anti-democratic nations. Yes, I am aware of Hamas and Hezbollah's open challenge to Israel's very existence as a nation. And yes, I am even aware of the additional empathy and understanding I should have with a typical German name like Schultz.
However the horrific and inhuman acts by Israel in its treatment of Palestinians, some were living in Israel when their homes were taken from them, cannot forever be ignored. Gaza has become a sealed prison. Israel controls the fate of many innocent civilians living in squalor and illness in the most crowded area of the world. Roadblocks and limiting supplies, even medical supplies, into Gaza is inhuman. Israel's own, self-serving agreements about Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory are being broken continually.. While the Israeli government says it does not condone these encroachment settlements, it is now using its own tax money to build roads and facilities into these illegal areas. While Israelis and Jews worldwide tell us that we do not understand and realize the ongoing terrorism and threat to Israel, the American media and leading politicans here voice a clear favoritism in the direction of Israel. The voice of the Palestinians barely scratches the surface by comparison.

Dave Hawkins, an accomplished musician, has been playing music for what seems to be his entire life. Music is his passion and he is passionate about how it's perceived throughout his audience. He plays many guitars, harmonica, and fiddle and when you hear him you will think there is a whole band, not just one person. This is accomplished by what is known as looping. There is never a 'backing track' to play along with, which is used by some other players out there. His vocals and music will reach the deepest part of you while it sets your senses alive. He plays sounds from the current popular, to classic rock, to Dave Matthews, to his own original compositions as he touches on just about any genre you may desire.
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

As set forth in Marywood University's Anti-Discrimination Policy, Marywood University ("the University") is committed to maintaining a fair and respectful environment for living, working and studying. To that end, and more fully expressed in the Anti-Discrimination Policy, the University prohibits any member of the faculty, staff, administration and student body as well as volunteers on and visitors to campus from engaging in harassing and/or discriminating behavior based on one's race, sex (including sexual harassment and sexual violence), color, gender, national or ethnic origin, age, creed, ancestry, religion, disability or any other legally protected status.
The University's Anti-Discrimination Policy and Complaint Procedures applies to all faculty, staff, administration, supervisors, employees, students, volunteers and visitors both on and off campus property. Off-campus property includes, but is not limited to, University programming, internships, study abroad programs and University athletic events.
Anyone believing s/he has been the victim of or a witness to, or otherwise has reason to believe or become aware of, discrimination, harassment or assault by, or involving, any member of the University community, guests or visitors, on University property or any property controlled by the University, including off-campus University sponsored events, should report the incident as soon as possible after the conclusion of the incident to the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator or a member of the University faculty, staff or administration. University faculty, staff and administrators who know, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known, of harassment or discrimination and fail to appropriately handle the report of harassment or discrimination may be subject to disciplinary action. The University strongly encourages and expects all members of the University community to report suspected or actual incidents involving harassment and violence.
Any individual who believes s/he has been subject to discrimination on the basis of disability should file a grievance consistent with the University's Disability Grievance Procedures.
In furtherance of Marywood University's commitment to its duties and obligations, regular training on harassment, discrimination and related topics is provided for managers and supervisors in the University community.
Complaint Process
1. No one should assume that the University knows, or has reason to know, about a particular situation involving discrimination, harassment and/or assault. The University encourages any person believing s/he has been the victim of or witness to discrimination, harassment or assault to report the incident as soon as possible, but not later than 30 working days, except in unusual circumstances, after the alleged incident(s) occurs, to one of the following individuals:
Dr. Patricia E. Dunleavy, Assistant Vice President for Human Resources
Ttitle IX Coordinator
570-961-4740 fax
86 Liberal Arts Center
Dr. Amy Paciej-Woodruff, Dean of Students
Deputy Title IX Coordinator
570-340-6037 fax
107C Nazareth Student Center
Dr. Alan M. Levine, Vice President for Academic Affairs
Deputy Title IX Coordinator
570-961-4743 fax
200 Liberal Arts Center
Ms. Ann Boland-Chase, Vice President for Enrollment Management
Deputy Title IX Coordinator
570-961-4790 fax
102 Liberal Arts Center
Complaints against students should be reported to the Dean of Students, Deputy Title IX Coordinator, who will assist in filing complaints through the Marywood University Conduct Process.
Complaints against faculty should be reported to the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Title IX Coordinator, or the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
Complaints against other members of the staff and administration should be reported to the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Title IX Coordinator, or the Vice President for Enrollment Management, Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
The Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Title IX Coordinator, in consultation with the President, will decide the appropriate course of action in cases where a conflict of interest is evident or possible.
Any administrator or faculty member who knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, of an incident of discrimination, harassment or assault must report the information to the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Title IX Coordinator.
2. During the initial discussion between the complainant and the University administrator, the complainant will be informed of his/her right to confidentiality and to not pursue the complaint, whether formally or informally. If the complainant requests confidentiality or will not consent to a complaint being pursued, the University will take all steps reasonable and necessary to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the request for confidentiality and/or request not to pursue the investigation. However, the University has an obligation to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment. Therefore, should the complainant elect to not pursue the complaint or request confidentiality, depending on various factors, including the seriousness of the complaint and number of victims, the University may nonetheless undertake the investigation on its own. The University cannot guarantee confidentiality; however, it will take reasonable steps to ensure confidentiality in accordance with its obligations to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment.
3. During the initial discussion, the complainant will also be informed of his/her right to proceed formally or informally. In situations when the complainant elects to proceed informally, the University administrator will determine the steps to take to resolve the issue. The parties may elect to resolve the matter through mediation, unless the situation involves sexual assault and/or violence. Should the complainant elect to proceed informally, s/he may elect to stop the informal process at any time and proceed through the formal process.
4. If the complainant, after the initial meeting with the University administrator or after opting out of the informal process, decides to proceed formally, the complainant should submit within ten (10) working days a formal complaint, preferably in writing, to an appropriate University administrator. The complaint must include detailed factual information concerning the incident(s), and should include what the victim feels will correct the situation.
Cases involving alleged discrimination, harassment and sexual assault are particularly sensitive and demand special attention to issues of confidentiality. Dissemination of information relating to the case is to be limited, so as to insure, as fully as possible, the privacy of the individuals involved.
5. Within five (5) working days after receipt of a formal complaint, the University administrator will commence a thorough investigation. Investigations will be conducted as expeditiously as possible and are usually completed within 30-60 days after the formal complaint is filed. This timeframe may vary, however, depending on confidentiality requests, availability of witnesses, the scope of the investigation and any unforeseen circumstances.
6. Within ten (10) working days after the initiation of the investigation, and every ten (10) working days thereafter until receipt of the final outcome from the University administrator, the University administrator must provide a written summary of the complaint and the proceedings to date to both the complainant and the alleged offender.
7. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the University administrator will determine, based on a preponderance of the evidence, whether the accused violated the Anti-Discrimination Policy. The University administrator will then provide his/her conclusions and disciplinary recommendations to the appropriate University office. After a decision is made concerning resolution of the complaint and any disciplinary actions to be imposed, the University administrator investigating the complaint will notify the complainant and the accused in writing of the outcome of the investigation.
8. Appropriate remedial action may be taken at any stage of the process and will be determined by the University administrator after consultation with executive officer(s) and/or legal counsel, if deemed necessary. Action will be taken to eliminate the discriminatory or harassing conduct, including but not limited to warning, no contact order, suspension, transfer, community service, discipline, discharge or dismissal of the offender or anyone making a knowingly false complaint. The remedial action may also include offering assistance/training to the victim and/or the offender. Any remedial action taken will not inconvenience the complainant.
9. Either party, if not satisfied with the final outcome proposed by the University administrator, will have ten (10) working days after receipt of the outcome to file an appeal. Appeals must be in writing and submitted to the President of the University. Within five (5) working days, the President will direct the appeal to the appropriate University body, described below. The appeals committee will have 30 working days to review and make a recommendation to the President of the University. The appeals committees may review the initial investigation as well as independently investigate the claim. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the recommendation from the appeals committee, the University President will provide a written response to the appellant. The decision of the University President is final and binding.
Claims against Faculty Members including Librarians, Administrators, Professional Staff, and Support Staff
The President of the University will appoint and convene a committee of five (5) employees comprised of professional staff, administrators and/or faculty who are independent of the claim.
Claims against Students
The President of the University will refer the appeal to the Vice President for Student Life who will convene an Appeal Board. The Appeal Board will review the complaint and make a recommendation to the Vice President for Student Life who will notify the President of the recommendation.
External Process
Victims or the University may choose to file a report with the proper law enforcement authorities also. Marywood University has personnel on staff who can explain criminal complaint procedures and assist victims in beginning the process. Additionally, if necessary, University administrators will notify the appropriate law enforcement officials in accordance with any obligations under federal, state and local laws. Police investigation and legal prosecution are conducted outside of and in addition to University procedures.
Retaliation Not Permitted
Anyone who reports an actual or suspected incident of harassment or discrimination, or who participates in an investigation, will not be subjected to retaliation. If a complainant or witness believes s/he is the victim of retaliation, the complainant or witness should contact the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, Title IX Coordinator or the Dean of Students, Deputy Title IX Coordinator. Anyone found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
A list of Marywood University and community resources is available at the Human Resources Office and the Student Life Offices.
Students are encouraged to use the services of the Counseling and Student Development Center, the Student Health Services Office, and the Students with Disabilities Services Office.

The philosophy major at St. Kate's will teach you how to think well — to distinguish a well-reasoned argument from a fallacious one, to defend and articulate your own perspective, to analyze texts of ancient and contemporary writers, and to write with clarity and precision.
Majoring in philosophy prepares you for careers that require critical thinking, precise analysis, and clear written and oral communication.
Interdisciplinary and interactive
Philosophy reflects upon matters of history, psychology, literature, theology, law, politics and science. Our courses focus on student and faculty discussion, not lecture. You'll learn how exciting ideas can be. You'll also learn to question situations, beliefs and issues you encounter in everyday life.
Choose your focus
St. Kate's offers two concentrations in philosophy: history and ideas of philosophy, which focuses on how intellectual ideas and concepts developed through time; and ethics, which looks at how values develop and are defined. (Ethics is the only concentration available to students in St. Kate's Evening, Weekend and Online program.)
Undergraduate research
Philosophy majors must work on a senior thesis in the senior seminar course, which covers research methodology, textual analysis, construction of philosophic arguments and the practice of philosophy in the contemporary world. Students present the paper at a department colloquium attended by faculty and other philosophy majors.
— Jeff Johnson, assistant professor
Role models and mentors
Our faculty have a wide variety of intellectual interests. For example, Professor William Myers' publications have focused on ethics and political theory applied to problems of human evil. Associate Professor Anne Maloney is interested in existentialism, philosophy and literature, philosophy of women, and philosophy and film.
The faculty are also active in professional organizations and invited to speak at national conferences. Assistant Professor Jeff Johnson, past president of the Minnesota Philosophical Society, presented "What Makes Food Authentic?" at the joint meeting of the Agriculture, Food, and Human Values Society, Association for the Study of Food and Society, and Society for Anthropology of Food and Nutrition.

Members of the Cumberland County Coroners Office investigate the scene of a tour bus crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Saturday, March 16, 2013 near Carlisle, Pa. Authorities say the tour bus crashed on the freeway at mile marker 227 in central Pennsylvania, and serious injuries have been reported. Lacrosse players from Seton Hill University and three coaches were among the 23 people aboard when the bus crashed at about 9 a.m., turnpike spokeswoman Renee Colborn said. It's not clear what caused the crash, but state police were investigating, said Megan Silverstram of the Cumberland County public safety department. (AP Photo/The Sentinel, Jason Malmont )

Pros – Multinational workforce & dynamic organisation due to the industry of the company. Many new avenues to further ones career in the shipping and offshore industry with the market leader.
Cons – Too rigid as far as introduction of new comer´sto organisation goes. You are constantly watched. More like the management wants you to make an error rather than help you solve it.
Advice to Senior Management – Lossen up.

A Texas mom beats up a kid who bullied her daughter. And it happened on school property. Obviously, mom went too far, but how many parents would try to stick up for their own kid?
A Texas mother takes her daughter's issue into her own hands and assaults a teen on school property. Thirty-six-year-old Christie Franklin approached the student on the campus of Austin High School, and soon began swinging.
"Apparently, the adult female's child has been having some on-going altercations or incidences, issues with another student," Eric Mendez of the Austin Police Department says. "The parent engaged that student with hostility, anger, [and] was prepared to fight for this student. [She] began to swing wildly is my understanding. In the process of throwing punches, the parent struck at least two other students and an assistant principal."
You heard right. The mom, in her rage, hit two additional students, as well as the assistant principal, who was trying to stop the assault. Franklin was arrested and now faces two charges of assault with injury, plus assault on a public servant.
A letter was sent home to parents, explaining the incident.
"A parent does not have a right to engage a student at a school because they feel that their child is being bullied," says Officer Mendez.
One person is injured after a police involved shooting in Southwest Philadelphia.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This is a beautiful invitation. The design is simple and elegant while the paper stock was heavy enough to be formal and the thermography made the lettering and design slightly raised. I ordered these invites in a rush shipment and the they arrived within 1 week. I had navy blue printing which looked great on the invites and response cards. I also removed the line about the reception and replaced it with 2 lines referring to our wedding website - it worked perfectly and the designer made sure it all fit without being crammed. I highly recommend this invitation."
"I ordered the dark purple colored font, they looked classy and elegant for our wedding invites for a winery wedding, now I'm just wrapping them into heart shaped doily and a piece of lace ribbon to finish them beautifully."
"The quality of the paper and printing is exceptional! We used navy ink for the invite as well as the return card envelopes. The photos do not do the embossing detail justice. We ordered an embosser for the return address, which completed the package. The invites were simply stunning and we received so many compliments on the elegance and simplicity!"
"After using WPD for our save the dates, we decided to use them for our invites too. I am so happy we did! Everything turned out perfect and the quality of the invitation is exceptional!"
"This style is so beautiful, the quality is amazing...it's all in the details on this simple style - the gold lettering sparkles in the light, the font is raised slightly, the paper is indented around the border...they are so pretty and perfect for our Florida wedding!! I can't imagine choosing any other invite - these were perfect!"

Everything we wanted!
Darling Daisy Save the Date Magnets We picked this magnet because its the main flower in our wedding. We got so many compliments on the design, simple and elagant, everything we wanted!
pretty but proof did not accurately depict
Darling Daisy Save the Date Magnets These are very pretty and unique save the dates. However, the writing on the petals is barely visible. In the proof the writing looked much bigger and bolder. The person who proofed the design enlarged writing on the side (website info) because it wasn't legible but now it looks a little funny since it is more dominant than the names on the petals. I wish they had sent me an actual proof in the mail before placing this order because it would be an easy fix.

Woman found dead in car that went off SR-67 north of Lakeside
LAKESIDE, Calif. - A woman was found dead Sunday in a car that went off State Route 67 north of Lakeside, authorities said.
California Highway Patrol officers were dispatched about 7:20 a.m. to SR-67, about 200 yards south of Lazy Acres Drive, about a half mile south of the Scripps Poway Parkway intersection, after the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo sedan was spotted in a ditch over the west side of the roadway, according to CHP officials.
Responding officers were initially unable to determine when the driver crashed, although it appeared that the wreckage had been there for several hours. A witness later told officers the crash occurred about 12:30 a.m., according to the CHP.
The driver had been ejected, and was partially trapped underneath the overturned sedan, a CHP dispatcher said. The officers attempted life-saving efforts, however it quickly became apparent the woman was dead, he said.
Officers determined the woman had not been wearing a seatbelt when she crashed, according to the dispatcher.
It was unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the wreck. Investigators following up after the crash were also looking into whether the crash was intentional and the driver committed suicide, although that possibility had yet to be confirmed, the dispatcher said.
The woman has not been identified, the dispatcher said.
CHP officials asked anyone with information on the crash to call (619) 401-2000, or (858) 637-3800.
