'We Can Move from Really Good to Really Great' – Superintendent Candidate Garcia
by Jack Mayne
The second of three finalist candidates for a new Highline School District superintendent told an audience of about 75 people Thursday night (Feb. 23) that he would not make a decision to make budget cuts "until you have to."
Dr. Joshua Garcia, currently a Federal Way School District assistant superintendent who oversees the district's secondary schools, advanced academics, curriculum and instruction, had spent the day at Highline touring school buildings and talking with students, teachers and members of the school board.
The district staff has indicated a decision is expected by next week, perhaps at the Wednesday evening board meeting at 6 p.m. at district headquarters.
Garcia said he has had to make a lot of drastic cuts in his career and the "process starts when we constantly determine what are the most important things and continuing conversations that say not everything is the most important thing. And when you have to get to the place where you have to make cuts, don't do it until you have to – until you have as much information as you can. We have to continue to talk about what is best."
He said business people, community leaders as well as the people in the schools are put into think tank sessions to refine what is really needed and what can be cut or reduced.
Then, with all the information possible, Garcia said he, as superintendent, would have to make the necessary cuts.
"For every dollar that you can remove that is spent on something that is not working, is one less cut you have to make
Getting a diverse staff
Garcia was asked how he plans to have the district's diverse workforce represented in the Highline District staff.
"Recruit, recruit, recruit," he said. "Get clear on how good we are so that you can recruit. People want to be part of something that is successful. Build partnerships. Look at creative ways to bring in staff members that reflect the student population. Hire people for talent and not always for certification. Then be sure to provide support for those people to be successful so they can turn and talk with their other colleagues with other experiences and recruit them. A world class school system means a world class staff. Give people permission to lead and do what's right for kids no matter what role they have. Making sure that every adult advocates for kids."
When asked about the role of parents in the district's operations, Garcia said their role "is critical."
He said the district needs to understand what each child needs to succeed and they the district should find a way to find the resources to make it happen, perhaps in with wider community.
"Parents have to part of the conversation and we in the schools have to be clear what we are trying to accomplish and how does that match the parent's goals and the student's goals," Garcia said.
PTAs have a critical role, too, he said. But he said the district should understand that the PTA should not be the only role for parents.
"Any time you have families, staff coming together to try to improve schools for kids, I think that is a blessing. There can't be one venue to do that, we have to find other ways," he said, perhaps even taking the conversation into apartment complexes, homes or other places to communicate with parents about kids in schools.
A commitment to continually improve is important, he said.
From good to great
"We can move from really good to really great."
The program moderator asked him what he had learned about Highline high schools.
"They are diverse in their program offerings, diverse in their expectations and what the offerings look like," Garcia said.
He said the adults that work in them were passionate and the students were "true to what they want." He spent time yesterday at the Puget Sound Skill Center and students "were so clear that that was good for them and what they came from was not and it would not necessarily be good for their best buddy."
On technology, he said it did not matter what brand or type, just get as much as possible into the classrooms.
"Getting technology into student's hands is really good and kids can teach us if we get them the tools," Garcia said. "What we have the responsibility to teach is them is how to do that in a safe manner."
Garcia's background
Garcia currently now is Federal Way Public Schools assistant superintendent of teaching for learning, where he supervises the district's secondary schools and advanced academics, instructional technology, curriculum and instruction, assessment and accountability and professional development.
There he has implemented board policy that automatically enrolls students into advanced placement, international baccalaureate and Cambridge international programs and his responsibilities include design and implementation of a K-12 standards-based instruction, grading, reporting and assessment system.
He was previously principal of Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way and assistant principal at White River High School. He started as a teacher in the Riverview School District.
Garcia received his doctorate from Seattle University, his master's degree from Heritage University, and his undergraduate degree from Washington State University. He is an adjunct professor in the University of Washington's principal leadership program.
Dr. Susan Enfield, now the interim superintendent of the Seattle School District is the final candidate and will be interviewed Friday evening at 6 p.m. in the City Council chambers at Burien City Hall.

McDonald's sales hit by weakness in Asia, Europe
NEW YORK McDonald's (MCD) says a key sales figure slipped again in April, with the world's biggest hamburger chain citing fears over a new strain of avian flu for weakness in China.
The Oak Brook, Illinois-based chain says the figure was down 0.6 percent globally. That included a 0.7 percent increase in the U.S., where it recently introduced its chicken McWraps to attract more customers in their 20s and 30s.
But it fell 2.4 percent in Europe, its biggest market by sales. In the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, it was down 2.9 percent. The chain blamed the impact of the avian flu in China for the decline, as well as softness in Japan and Australia.
Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC and is China's biggest Western fast-food company, has also been slammed by the new strain of avian flu. It warned late last month that sales at established restaurants in China were down about 30 percent in April. Yum is also trying to recover from a controversy over its chicken suppliers that surfaced late last year.
After years of outperforming rivals, McDonald's has been struggling to increase sales as it faces increasing competition, changing eating habits and slow growth in the broader restaurant industry. CEO Don Thompson, who took over the top spot this summer, has said that the company will focus on emphasizing value to capture market share in the tough environment.
The chain is also working to make its food more relevant to shifting tastes. Its chicken McWraps, for example, are intended to cater to people who are seeking out fresher, healthier items. The company also recently introduced a lower-calorie version of its Egg McMuffin made with egg whites.
Sales at restaurants open at least 13 months is a key metric because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations.

An early update from me this weekend as Mr CC and I are out and about having adventures and thus I won't be at my computer. These little biscuits are great to have in your armoury – they are lovely just to eat, but you can also serve them on the side of a dessert to "glam it up", or you can sandwich them with jam, nutella, or whipped cream and fruit. That's a lot of options from one, rather plain looking, biscuit!
What attracted me to this recipe is that there is no sugar actually in the biscuit dough; the sugar is dredged over the dough once it is rolled out. Not only does this give the outside of the biscuit a pleasing crispness, but it also allows the cream to be the dominant flavour of the biscuit dough.
I wouldn't make these biscuits any bigger – the ideal size is small enough to pop on your tongue and just feel it melt; the sugary crispness gives way to creamy crumbly biscuit and is divine! The texture is incredible – the biscuits puff a little while baking giving a layered texture like puff pastry.
The biscuits are small so you get quite a lot from a batch. They are also extremely easy to eat – they're the kind of biscuit that you have with a cup of tea and then realise you've eaten half the batch! So save yourself time and heart ache and double the recipe up...but chill it in two bowls so it's more manageable to roll out.
The aroma while these cooked was of warm cream; it reminded me of a oven baked, creamy rice pudding. Here they are ready to go into the oven – yes it looks a lot of sugar but remember, there's no sugar in the dough:
Because of the unusual method of preparation and rolling, there is no option to re-roll unused dough. This forces you to be economical with your cutting out. Here's what I had left over:
100g unsalted butter
2 tablespoon double cream
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g plain flour
6 tablespoons caster sugar
Beat the butter until very soft and whippy.
Beat in the cream and vanilla, then stir in the flour.
Don't panic – the dough will be incredibly soft!
Cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of clingfilm. The dough needs to be thin – about 1/2cm thick.
The dough will soften and be sticky but gently peel the top sheet of clingfilm back and sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of the caster sugar over the dough. The dough should be covered with sugar but so you can still see the dough through the sugar.
Place the clingfilm back over the dough and fold up the clingfilm edges.
Carefully flip the dough and clingfilm so that the sugared side is now underneath.
Peel back the clingfilm and sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of the caster sugar over the dough. Once the dough is fully sugared you will experience no problems with cutting it and lifting it from the clingfilm.
Using a 4cm round cutter, cut out the dough and place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Be economical with your cutting out as the dough does not lend itself to re-rolling.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and slightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before removing from the tray. Biscuits can be very fragile until they have cooled and you don't want to risk breaking them.
Store in an airtight container.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

It was Sean Penn's birthday yesterday. He's 49.
Two nights ago he was spotted in Malibu at Nobu leaving with a friend. Not sure if he celebrated with Robin Wright though it seems unlikely.
Page Six is reporting that it's done. Again.
Sean took time off from work, backing out of a couple of projects to spend time with family but despite giving it one last go and changing their minds on divorce for the second time, they have not been able to keep it together. Apparently her spokesperson said that "They've raised two wonderful children. There are no regrets."
Great actor. Sh-tty husband. Ego maniac. Obstinate. And unfaithful…although some say this part was allowed. He certainly has never been terribly eager to hide it.
Was browsing through my Entertainment Weekly on the plane and noted in their fall preview that Sean's movie with Brad Pitt, directed by Terence Malick, Tree of Life is expected to be released at Christmas. Christmas movies with that kind of depth are usually meant for awards season.
Professionally then, as usual, Sean is very well taken care of. On a personal level – imagine if he brought Madonna to the Oscars?
Shiloh is working on this.

University of Louisiana senior Ryan King has a mouth-watering method for paying his tuition.
The 25-year-old economics major from New Orleans runs his own business, Taste of Quality, a sweet enterprise that sells his homemade pralines.
He came up with an idea. He has a vision. He knows where he wants to go, and he has the personality and drive to get him there," said John Must, a UL economics instructor who has taught King in three courses.
Every Saturday, King eagerly hands out samples and greets passersby in front of his booth at the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market. By 10 a.m., he's often left with only crumbs.
Inspired by farmers' markets, King uses Louisiana ingredients as much as possible, such as pecans from New Roads, La., and sugar made from sugar cane grown in the Bayou State.
"This (farm-to-table) movement is putting control back into your hands. If you can't produce your own food, you're always going to be dependent on somebody. That's what's so interesting about the farmers' market. You get to know your farmer like you get to know your banker," he said.
His recipe has just a few ingredients. Along with sugar and pecans, he mixes evaporated milk, pure vanilla extract and brandy.
King works more than 20 hours a week preparing and packaging the pralines. That's on top of a full course load and a part-time job as a radio broadcaster on 770 AM KJCB. He's on track to graduate in May 2014.
Must said he's impressed by King's work ethic. "I know he makes the pralines at night, and he still comes to class on time, ready to go. That's hard for a person to do, even when you're young," he said.
King rents time in the kitchen of The Accidental Chef, a Lafayette cooking school.
He looks at ease there, despite the precise timing needed for perfect pralines. He sells about 10 dozen each week at the farmers' market. The treats are also sold at several locations in Lafayette: Old Tyme Grocery, Roly Poly Sandwiches, Country Cuisine, Champagne's Market, E's Kitchen, Kreole Ala' and Caffe Cottage.
"The pralines cover about 20 percent of the cost (of tuition), but I've got a couple of loans. So, once this business really kicks off, I'm going to use it to pay them off. So, it's paying for my school, in that sense," King said.
His culinary interest was piqued at age 17 by his mother, Georgia King. She runs Georgia's Fine Foods, a New Orleans catering company that's made return customers of President Barack Obama and comedian Bill Cosby.
Working from her recipe, King began making creamy pralines, eventually selling them to coworkers.
After one semester at UL, he changed his major from architecture to economics, attributing his entrepreneurial ambition for the decision. Even as an architecture student, his foremost goal was to own an architecture firm.
He plans to continue down the entrepreneurial path after graduation.
"When you go into business for yourself, there's nobody over your shoulder telling you that you have to do something. You have to have that drive and motivation," he said.

Reds and National Monuments in D.C.
On April 28, 2013, for the second weekend in a row, we headed to a certain MLB ball game because Kellan had yet to see the visiting team play a game. This time, the venue was Nationals Park and the team checked off of Kellan's "must see" list was the Cincinnati Reds.
I wasn't happy to find out that our overpriced parking lot went up yet another $5 over the offseason (booo!), but I was happy to pull into the same parking spot we park in at all of our Nationals home games.
While walking toward the ballpark, we noticed that the Nats replaced the big photo on the back of the scoreboard. Tim recreated Bryce Harper's jump in the new photo:
By the way, because we were super busy the day before (we usually go to Saturday night games), our only option was to go to this 1:35 Sunday game. Still, we arrived before the gates opened because the Nats always seem to have BP when we have attended 1:35 Sunday games. And this day was no different. Plus, as a bonus, it was kids run the bases day. And, as a double bonus, we planned to tour around the DC monuments after the game.
Tim had to use the restroom as we approached the stadium…
…(can you see us in that big metallic baseball?), so we headed into the Nats' Team Store for a quick pit stop. We'd never been in there before so I'd never seen this big wall of red and white baseballs making a curly Nats "W."
We had a bit of a wait until the gates opened and we passed the time by playing catch:
I don't think we have ever made it to Nats Park, which is 2.5 hours from our house, before the gates opened. So we got a picture of Tim standing in front of the gate while the ushers prepared to open up:
Once the gates opened, we headed over to the section above the visitors' bullpen. The Nats pitchers were warming up in RF and batters were getting ready for BP. In the LF grass, Bronson Arroyo was playing catch with the Reds bullpen catcher. Eventually, he wandered into the bullpen and threw a bullpen session…
…and we watched him.
While Bronson was throwing, former Mariners pitching coach Brian Price came out to watch and chat with Bronson:
Price oversaw a stellar Mariners rotation during the most successful days of the organization, the Lou Piniella years. When I saw him, I shouted out a greeting and pointed to my M's jersey.
After Arroyo finished his session, he tossed his ball up to Tim:
Thanks, Bronson!
As the crew started clearing out, I had a quick chat with Price. I told him to come back to Seattle, and he said something like "maybe I will some day!" And I said, "And bring Lou with you!" But he was pretty sure that Sweet Lou is retired for good from managing. Brian was super friendly and seemed very happy to chat up some Mariners fans for a bit. Just after he left, we realized we should have asked him to sign the Arroyo's warm up ball. But it was too late, the whole crew headed out of the bullpen and headed to the dugout.
He hung out in LF a while longer as BP started up. Eventually, we decided to head over to the seats in RCF. Zach Duke was running all over shagging balls out there:
Eventually, Duke ran back and caught a high pop fly on the warning track in straight away CF. When he looked over toward RF, we called out his name and I flashed him my glove. In response, Duke (apparently thinking I was made out of glass or some other delicate material) softly tossed the baseball short and way to our right and right into the storage area in CF. Many players would have shrugged their shoulders and headed back to shagging fly balls. But Duke walked all the way to the back of the storage area and retrieved the ball and tossed it to us again. I was thinking about this and I would be this is the first baseball we've ever caught at a MLB game where the player tossed the ball toward the field of play for us to catch.
Thanks, Zach!
We promptly headed over to the corner spot above the RCF end of the Nats' bullpen:
But right as that happened, all of the Nationals with the exception of Zach Duke cleared the field. We just hung out there for a while and watched Duke play catch with the Nats bullpen catcher.
Soon'ish, the Reds headed out to LF to begin their team stretching routine. We were at the ballpark to see the Reds, so we headed back over to LF. When we arrived in LF, this was the scene:
Once the rest of the stadium opened up at 12:00 (or maybe 12:05), we headed down to the corner spot where we had a great view of Aroldis "Fireball" Chapman:
That guy is pretty impressive!
As we watched Chapman play catch, the Reds started hitting. We were right at the OF end of a big net that protects several sections of seats along the foul line. So when a Reds batter smacked a hard grounder down the line, it carried along the netting and rolled right to me. Kellan grabbed a seat to inspect his new baseball:
Now check out something crazy captured in the following two-part photo:
Chapman starting playing looooooong toss with is partner. Above to the left, Chapman is the guy standing right in front of the "G" in Geico on the RF wall. As shown on the right, from that extreme distance, Chapman still managed to toss a ball so hard that he got it past his partner on the LF foul line. He essentially threw the ball into the protective net.
It was mighty impressive!
After we got one more baseball in the corner spot, we repositioned, and then I took a photo of where we had been standing:
See the guy in the red shirt right behind the pole (he has his glove hand on the green railing and his other hand in his pocket)? That's right where I'd been standing earlier with Tim just to my left (in the corner) and Kellan either sitting behind me or standing in front of me.
At one point before we moved from that spot, a Reds batter hit a TOWERING pop up in our direction. I didn't think it was going to reach us, but it just kept carrying and carrying.
Kellan was standing right in front of me along the railing. I put my throwing hand on top of his head so I would know exactly where he was standing while tracking the ball. I then leaned out toward the field and made the catch on the fly. I'm pretty sure it is the highest pop up I've ever caught, and it stung my palm pretty good.
After catching the pop up, we moved down the line to watch Johnny Cueto throw through the net:
That is a whole lot of hair in that hat!
Cueto was throwing hard and wild. He sailed several balls over his partner's head and into the net. I had to keep warning Tim to sit back from the net because I thought he was going to get smacked in the face through the net. Luckily, it never happened.
Toward the end of BP, we headed back to the corner spot in RF…
…where two unidentified Reds were shagging balls. We used my trusty old camera zoom to read their names off of their gloves. It was J.J. Hoover and Logan Ondrusek. Eventually, Ondrusek fielded a ball right in front of us on the track and tossed it up to Tim for our final ball of the day.
Thanks, Logan!
And, with that, it was off to the kids' play area for us!
It's great with Kellan being big enough to climb all around in the kids' play areas there days. Tim's a great big brother in the play areas. He sticks right with Kellan and makes sure that he has lots of fun and doesn't get trampled by the bigger kids.
Here they go up one of the climbing areas:
They poked their heads out of baseball sphere to give a wave to my camera:
And here's a short video clip of the cutest moment of the day:
After a thorough play session, we busted out of the kids' play area just in time for first pitch:
An usher was standing nearby and I asked her to take a family photo of us. He was very nice to accommodate the request, but it seems she might never have used a digital camera before. Her first two pictures were close ups of Tim's elbow and hands. It took her the first two batters of the game, but she finally got a couple good shots, including this one:
It was lunch time and we had the best nachos in MLB on our mind. He headed to LF to grab 'em, but we got side tracked when we saw this:
I'm a bit confused about this thing. I don't remember seeing it last season. But the Nats have a new president on the team this season…so I'm not sure…but it seems new. And Tim and Kellan liked it so that's all that counts.
They also enjoyed playing catch off of this wall:
This would be a recurring theme throughout the day.
Finally, we grabbed our nachos and headed to the upper deck down the LF line:
Check out our view of the U.S. Capitol Building behind us (right above Tim's head). Pretty cool, eh?
There are a couple rows of picnic tables up there and we were in the last row. You couldn't really see much of the action on the field from our table. But stepping a few feet over, we had a nice view of Bryce Harper…
…preparing to ground out to end the bottom of the first inning. Reds rookie pitcher, Tony Cingrani, was on the hill and he was *on* during this game. In six innings, he struck out 11 Nationals.
Oh, yeah, I should mention that the Reds scored 2 runs in the top of the first.
And the Reds tacked on another run in the second, in part due to this fielding miscue by Nats second basemen Danny Espinosa:
At the time, Cigrani had singled and was on 1B. Shin-Soo Choo followed with what should have been an easy ground out to 3B. Anthony Rendon fielded the ball and threw the ball to Danny Espinosa who booted the ball. After a walk to Zack Cozart, Joey Votto singled home Cingrani.
3-0 Reds after two innings.
We decided it was time for some ice cream. We walked across the concourse from LF to around 1B. On the walk, we got a Nationals Park bonus photo of the boys for the MyGameBalls.com photo scavenger hunt:
Do you see that little foam baseball in Tim's left hand? An usher or some stadium employee gave that to Tim just before the game started. That's what Tim was throwing against the wall in the photo above. He eventually lost that ball when it bounced off the wall and rolled completely out of the stadium, which was pretty upsetting to Tim.
The boys' ice cream eating…
…went somewhat hilariously. Day games are tough for us because Kellan usually naps in the afternoons. During this game, Kellan actually fell asleep mid-ice cream eating.
By the way, here was our view of the game while Tim ate his ice cream:
After Tim finished his ice cream, we headed back to the little covered nook where the boys had previously been throwing the ball against the wall. Tim made another 100 or so throws while I sat holding sleeping Kellan and watched the game.
While we were over there, the Presidents showed up and we got a photo with them (completely with a totally conked out Kellan):
I have no clue who the new President in the middle is supposed to be.
Once Kellan finally woke up, we headed back toward the field. I wanted to see Joey Votto bat. Unfortunately (unbeknownst to us), it had started raining while Tim was playing catch with the wall. It wasn't a lot of rain. But the fans flooded the concourse. We had to peak around multiple heads to get a distorted glimpse of Votto striking out:
By the way, by this point, it was 4-0 Reds.
The concourses were terrible so we headed back toward the outfield. On our walk we saw something cool:
A Griffey jersey. I'm only a fan of the Mariners, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the Reds because I watched tons and tons of Reds games during Griff's tenure with the Reds.
We essentially walked around and around and around the ballpark aimlessly because it was too crowded everywhere in the concourses and rainy in the seats. As we passed by the 3B side of the concourse again, we saw something unfortunate:
Kids' run the bases was cancelled due to rain. I think it was a premature call, but in the end we were fine with it.
We headed up to the second deck in RF for a bit. Here was our view from section 239:
We had never sat up there before during a game. It's pretty nice. I liked it.
While we sat in the upper deck, probably for no more than 1 inning, Tim filled out an All-Star ballot, something he always enjoys doing. I had to take a picture because this ballot was awesome:
In case you can't tell, here are the highlights of Tim's ballot:
AL 1B – Justin Smoak
AL 2B – Dustin Ackley
AL SS – Brendan Ryan
AL 3B – Kyle Seager (oops…Tim accidentally made a huge hole when punching Seager's name).
AL C – Jesus Montero
AL DH – Kendrys Morales
AL OF – Michael Morse, Michael Saunders and Ichiro (still Tim's favorite player despite his unfortunate status as a member of the Yankees).
NL 1B, SS, 3B, C, P – No vote
NL 2B – accidental vote for Dustin Solano because he originally thought it said he played for the Mariners. Tim crossed out Solano's name after realizing he had voted for a Marlin.
Information section:
Name – Timothy Cook
City – Pencillvanya
Email Address – Mariners
Favorite Team – X√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√
All-Star Write In Votes – Timothy, Timothy
Late in the game, we sat in section 135 (the section where our actual ticketed seats were located). Here was our view of Bryce Harper's at bat in the eighth:
He eventually walked and later scored on a double by Ian Desmond. That made the score 5-2 Reds after 8 innings.
Here are our two views from the spots we sat in during the late innings:
And here some random shots of Brandon "Dat Dude" Phillips:
With the Reds up 3-runs heading into the bottom of the ninth, we were treated to a save by Aroldis Chapman…
…and his 100 M.P.H. heater!
Reds win!
Instead of Kids' Run The Bases (which would have been fun too), we ran all over Washington, D.C. after the game.
We parked two blocks behind the Capitol Building and made our first stop at the U.S. Supreme Court:
This was both boys' first visit to the Supreme Court. The last time I was here was on my mom's birthday in 2009 when I was admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court by Chief Justice Roberts and most of the other members of the Court.
Interestingly, in that picture of the Court above, what you are really seeing is *picture* of the Supreme Court hanging from the scaffolding that is currently encasing the entire Supreme Court building.
Next, we headed across the street to the U.S. Capitol Building:
In the bottom right photo above, Tim is catching a fly ball on the lawn of the Capitol Building (the ball is just above to the right of the rotunda).
Kellan was on my shoulders for all of those Capitol Building photos. He didn't want to come down for a photo. But he did give me a smile from up top:
We decided to walk around the reflecting pond and a nice pair of tourists from New Jersey took our photo on the far side:
And then I took a shot of the boys walking:
Kellan was loving the walk. We had to hustle just to keep up with him. It was super cute at one point when we were back up to the Capitol lawn and the boys were racing and Kellan told me, "This is so much fun!" (That doesn't read as cute of funny, but he's got a hilariously cute little voice).
From the front of the Capitol Building, we got a photo of the boys with the Washington Monument in the distance:
We walked back to the car and headed off toward 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue:
The boys were excited to see Barack Obama's house. They made some funny faces while sitting on the base of the front fence:
And then we finished off our little tour at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial:
I'd never seen the MLK Memorial. It is really cool. I highly recommend it. As you can see above, there is a big *mountain* in the background. The middle section of the mountain is pulled forward and MLK is carved into the front of it. On the side of the MLK statue, the rock says "From a mountain of despair, a stone of hope" or something along those lines. On either side of the mountain, walls extend about 50 yards and they have a number of MLK quotes engraved on them.
Pretty cool. Check it out.
And that was our day. A great day of baseball and sight-seeing.

Gainward GTS 450 Goes Like Hell dissected

GTS 450 GLH is the fastest GTS 450 around
Our today's
guest is Gainward's Goes Like Hell model, a factory overclocked version of GTS 450. The reference card, as you may recall, runs at 783MHz for the GPU and 902MHz (3608MHz effectively) for the memory. Gainward GTS 450 GLH 1GB, on the other hand, comes with a 930MHz GPU and 1000MHz memory (4000MHz effectively). With such high operating clocks, Gainward GTS 450 GLH is already among the two fastest GTS 450 cards around.
Gainward launched its GTS 450 GLH more than a month ago, together with GTS 450 GS 1GB and GTS 450 1GB cards. The Golden Sample card runs at 880MHz /975MHz (3900MHz effectively) whereas Gainward GTS 450 runs at reference clocks.
Nvidia aimed Geforce GTS 450 cards at gamers with limited budgets, but the card's initial pricing was a bit too high (around €129). Luckily for customers, the pricing is much more realistic and you can buy a GTS 450 for about €100. Currently the lowest priced GTS 450 comes exactly from Gainward and is priced at about €100,
. GTS 450 GLH, on the other hand, will set you back about €117,
We must admit that the GTS 450 would've had a much easier job if it had launched a few months ago, because many users are waiting to see what AMD's upcoming 6xxx series brings. Furthermore, with the card's price hanging around €100, they stand little chance of outdoing AMD's offer. In fact the GTS 450's main competitor is Radeon HD 5770, which is one year old. The GTS 450 arrived to replace the 9800 GTX+ (a.k.a. GTS 250).
GTS 450 is based on Fermi architecture, meaning it packs DirectX 11 support. We're talking about GF106, the third GPU to be derived from Fermi (GTX 480/470/460 use GF100; GTX 460 uses GF104 whereas GT430 uses GF108).
GTS 450 packs some pretty promising performance for gamers who use resolutions from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050. Of course, we can't forget 3D Vision, SLI and True-HD audio bitstreaming support.
The card has 192 shader processors, 16 ROPs, 32 texture units, two 64-bit memory controllers (128 bit interface) and 1GB of GDDR5. As far as consumption goes, the reference card will draw up to 106W.
Gainward's GOOD design is notable for "QuattroPorts" – a wide assortment of vide outs and in-house cooling. So, the GTS 450 GLH comes with HDMI, two dual-link DVIs and VGA outs. Note that most reference cards come with two dual-link DVIs and mini-HDMI.
Gainward's GTS 450 GLH uses nonreference dual-slot cooling that does a nice job and stays quiet throughout our tests.
You can see what hides under the hood on the following pictures.
GTS 450 GLH comes with 1GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1000MHz (4000MHz effectively). We're talking about
Samsung's K4G10325FE-HC05 GDDR5.
Gainward decided on "QuattroPorts" design, meaning the card comes with four video outs – two dual link DVIs, one VGA and one HDMI out.
The SLI connector means you can chain up to two cards in two-way SLI. The card is powered via one 6-pin power connector.
In the box you'll get the user's manual, driver CD and one 2x molex-to-6-pin PCIe adapter.
Motherboard: EVGA 4xSLI
CPU: Core i7 965 XE (Intel EIST and Vdrop enabled)

Power Supply: CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold 800W

Most GTS 450 cards can be overclocked higher than 900MHz, and we've seen that some partners like Gainward dared to push it beyond 920MHz and back it up with a warranty. More precisely, the GTS 450 GLH runs at 930MHz for the GPU with the memory running at 1000MHz (4000MHz effectively).
Our GLH is already overclocked, so we didn't manage much more. It took a voltage boost to 1162mV to get stable 950MHz for the GPU with the memory running at 1040MHz (4160MHz effectively). We left the fan in AUTO mode and it wasn't very loud. It's well worth noting that nothing we did to the fan managed to help with further overclocking.
GTS 450 GLH didn't go over 74°C during our tests. The cooler was almost inaudible in idle operation and while it gets louder in FurMark tests, it isn't too loud. Of course, fan speed can be controlled via ExperTool.
We measured our entire rig's consumption after stressing the graphics with FurMark. Consumption shows that the GTS 450 can easily compete with Radeon HD 5700 cards in this respect – it consumes less than Radeon HD 5770 in idle mode but consumes more than the aforementioned card when running GPU-intensive apps. Gainward's GTS 450 GLH comes with a factory overclock of 18.8% and so it consumes up to 40W more than the reference card.
The market currently offers many overclocked GTS 450 cards, a testament to GF106's nice overclocking potential. Reference clocks stand at 783/1566/902MHz (core/shaders/memory), whereas Gainward's GTS 450 GLH card runs at 930/1860/4000MHz, making it currently the fastest GTS 450 around.
Gainward offers three GTS 450 cards and all three of these are special for its video outs configuration that Gainward calls "QuattroPorts". This facet of Gainward's design is dubbed "GOOD" by the company. The card comes with HDMI, two dual-link DVIs and VGA outs whereas the cooling is Gainward's dual-slot, nonreference solution.
Gainward squeezed the maximum from GTS 450, with its GLH card offering up to 19% better performance compared to reference cards. Gainward GTS 450 GLH is priced at about €117,
, which unfortunately makes it pricier than most HD 5770 cards – its direct competitors.
All in all, Gainward's GOOD design has proven to be efficient with GTS 450 cards. The performance boost provided by Gainward's overclock is pretty nice and definitely gives GTS 450 GLH the edge over its reference counterpart, but everything points to the fact that Nvidia has not yet come up with a HD 5770-killer.
This card will be your faithful companion if your resolutions of choice are up to 1680x1050. If you're an Nvidian in the market for a new card and have decided to purchase a GTS 450 card, then there's no reason why Gainward's GTS 450 GLH shouldn't be on your list, well ahead of the reference solution of course.

Colleges get new rules on dating violence
Colleges would be required to keep track of incidents of dating violence, domestic violence and stalking that take place on or near their campuses under proposed regulations to be published Friday by the Department of Education.
The proposals also would allow both accusers and the accused to bring an "advisor of their choice" to campus disciplinary proceedings. Colleges also would have to provide more information, including a list of possible sanctions, about how disciplinary cases involving sexual violence are handled. Left unaddressed was any definition of consent, a contentious issue that is often at the core of campus sexual assault cases.
The proposals, drafted by a federal panel, the members of which included students who have reported being sexually assaulted, are designed to address growing concerns about sexual violence on college campuses.
They grew out of federal legislation enacted last year as part of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and add to existing federal requirements, including compiling statistics on sexual assaults and meeting obligations under Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.
"These new rules strengthen schools' capacity to provide safer college campuses for students and to keep everyone better informed about campus security policies and procedures," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement.
Questions about sexual assault policies in higher education have emerged as a national issue in recent years as more young women file complaints with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights about how their cases are handled by campus administrators.
The Obama administration took up the cause this year, creating a task force in January and releasing in May a list of 55 colleges under investigation for possible violations of federal law over the handling of sexual violence and harassment complaints. Among them: Harvard, the University of Chicago, Dartmouth College and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
On Thursday at Dartmouth, a revised student disciplinary policy for charges of sexual assault went into effect. The new policy requires that an independent investigator look into complaints and calls for mandatory expulsion in some cases of sexual assault. Other schools, including the University of North-Carolina Chapel Hill and Amherst, have developed policies in response to cases on their campuses.
The growing momentum in support of women who have been assaulted has spurred a wave of complaints by men who have been punished — in some cases suspended from campus — after being accused of assault. Their legal strategies differ, but most argue that the campus judicial process was weighed against them.
In a letter this month to the Office for Civil Rights, lawyers for a Brown University student who was suspended and eventually withdrew after being accused of sexual assault described the disciplinary process as "Kafkaesque." Lawsuits have been filed, many in recent weeks, against a number of colleges, including Occidental College, Kenyon College and the University of Michigan.
In responding to concerns raised on their campuses, some colleges "have let the pendulum swing too far in the wrong direction," said Brett Sokolow, CEO of the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management Group, a law and consulting firm. He said he has taken on some sexual assault cases on behalf of men in which both parties had been drinking heavily before having sex. "It's a trend that really needs to be nipped quickly. We have to provide equal dignity for all students," Sokolow said.
Joe Cohn of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said some of the proposals aren't forceful enough in protecting the rights of the accused. "Their futures are really on the line," he said. "They deserve that kind of fair shake."
Citing research that says as many as one in five women on campus will be sexually assaulted before graduation, the federal panel recommended several steps, including campus surveys to better understand the extent of the problem, engaging men in prevention efforts, and creating clear procedures for reporting incidents of sexual assault.
Draft proposals, being published in the Federal Register, recommend:
• Adding gender identity and national origin as categories of bias under existing campus crime laws.
• Adopting the FBI's definition of rape.
• Requiring institutions to ensure that disciplinary proceedings in response to alleged incidents of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking are prompt, fair and impartial.
• Strengthening protections for victim confidentiality while helping victims to access support, services, and disciplinary and legal options.
• Specifying requirements for programs to prevent dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, including prevention and awareness programs and campaigns.

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project seeks to identify functional elements in the human genome. To aid in the integration and comparison of data produced using different technologies and platforms, the ENCODE Consortium has designated cell types that will be used by all investigators. These common cell types include both cell lines and primary cell types, and plans are being made to explore the use of primary tissues and embryonic stem (ES) cells.
Cell types were selected largely for practical reasons, including their wide availability, the ability to grow them easily, and their capacity to produce sufficient numbers of cells for use in all technologies being used by ENCODE investigators. Secondary considerations were the diversity in tissue source of the cells, germ layer lineage representation, the availability of existing data generated using the cell type, and coordination with other ongoing projects. Effort was also made to select at least some cell types that have a relatively normal karyotype.
The cell types and rationales for their selection are described below:
Additional information about the ENCODE common cell types, including cell growth protocols being used by ENCODE investigators, is available at http://genome.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/cellTypes.html.
Information on Common Resources used by the ENCODE pilot project, including the pilot project target sequences, BAC Clones for ENCODE targets, cell lines and antibodies to DNA-binding proteins can be found at www.genome.gov/12513455/encode-pilot-project-common-consortium-resources/.

Any help appreciated.
Hi folk . I'm looking for a Fyvie player card that came with a home program .
If anybody has a spare .
Jeez, this went for £41 on eBay tonight. I wonder if Riki still has a few tucked away :confused:

The officials -- a coach and two managers -- first denied the game took place, but video clips on cell phones of the game were used as evidence against them, the Vatan-e-Emrooz daily newspaper reported.
Esteghlal, one of Iran's top two soccer clubs, said its disciplinary committee suspended two officials for a year while a third was suspended for six months. A fourth official was fined, a report posted on the club's Web site said.
The Jan. 20 game between the club's female team and its youth male team in Tehran was the first time in the 30 years of Iran's Islamic establishment that males and females played soccer together, observers said.
The youth team beat the women 7-0 in a game Vatan-e-Emrooz described as 'historic.'
Video clips on cell phones were used as evidence against the suspended officials, who initially denied the game was held, the paper said. The report said the game was held at Marqoobkar stadium in south Tehran.
Mixed games for soccer, called football in Iran, were virtually unheard of even before the Islamic revolution.
Kamran Khatibi, a soccer writer at Kayhan sports daily, said he doesn't remember a "football game ever having been played between women and men in Iran -- not even during Shah Reza Pahlavi's era."
Women can be just as passionate fans about soccer. One well-reviewed Iranian film, "Offside," follows the story of a girl who disguises herself as a boy to attend a soccer game at a stadium in Tehran.
In 2006, the same year the film was released, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad surprised his conservative backers by deciding that women could attend soccer games, saying their presence would "improve soccer-watching manners and promote a healthy atmosphere."
But Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, disagreed. He has final say on all matters in Iran, so his stance held -- no women in the stands, not even in the segregated section when men play.
And only women can attend games when women's teams play. However, foreign women are occasionally allowed at men's matches, purportedly because they don't understand the language and the cursing.
According to the Esteghlal soccer club, Mohammad Khorramgah, the club's technical manager, was suspended for a year and fined 50 million rials ($5,000) for the Jan. 20 game.
The only woman among the suspended -- Saeedeh Pournader, head coach of the female team -- also got a year's suspension. Mostafa Ardestani, head coach of the youth team, got a six-month suspension and a 20 million rial ($2,000) fine.
A prominent Iranian soccer player and manager of the club's soccer academy, Ali Reza Mansourian, got a written rebuke and a fine of 50 million rials, the club said.

A guess is that around 20000 tiles (one terrain used, 13 different tiles) are used on the map in total.
Performance was not that good when pre-viewing.
My question is if an imported map makes one hitbox per tile? And if using the native map editor, will a resized tile in the native editor result in still one hitbox?
Perhaps someone have some neat solutions on how to keep performance good along with large levels?

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Christopher Wray is providing new details that call into question the White House timeline leading up to the departure of former staff secretary Rob Porter.
Wray tells senators that the FBI administratively closed its file on Porter, who was operating under a temporary security clearance, in January, a month before he departed amid domestic abuse allegations. Wray says the FBI provided information to the White House on Porter in November, "then earlier this month we received some additional information and we passed that on as well."
Wray is declining to elaborate on what information was passed on to the White House.
The White House has repeatedly said that Porter's "background investigation was ongoing" when he resigned his position, and that the first the White House learned of the allegations against him was last Tuesday.

Let's face it folks, the UCI is at best a bumbling pack of fools and at worst a corrupt cadre of dope pushers. The journalist Paul Kimmage wrote about the alleged UCI cover up of the Lanceathon of doping in the late 1990's-today and is being sued by the UCI. Normally companies sue the publisher of a book instead of the author, but since big publishing houses have money they're going after Kimmage instead.
The cycling world has come to his aid, and NYVelocity and Cyclismas.com have hosted a defense fund.
It currently sits at about $50,000 but could use all the help we can give it. Pitch in and show the UCI that we're sick of their bullshit.

scratch-built mess hall — the reincarnation of my old board-by-board one with the detailed interior — sits behind the BTS dormitory car, which I have modified by using Bar Mills shingles, different chimneys, and different positioning of the end walls. On the upper track in front of the mess hall you can see tthe blacksmith car, and below it the steam donkey pulling a log closer to the loading area.. The
The dormitory car is the second laser-cut kit I have made, the first being the excellent Bar Mills Majestic Hardware. This superb BTS product may be even better: perfect laser-cutting, extremely clear directions, and beautiful design. Since I model nineteenth-century railroading, I've often complained — mourned! — the disappearance of the old Central Valley wood kits and the all-metal Red Ball classics of early railroading, but the BTS logging cars plus freight cars from th 1860s and '70s, though based on different prototypes, are so wonderful they almost make up for the loss of the others.

04.11.13: The CCRI Baseball team hosted the Penmen of Southern New Hampshire University Junior Varsity squad for a game on Thursday. the Knights defeated the Penmen 5-2. With the victory the Knights improve to 14-9 on the season.
Game 1
CCRI- 5 Southern New Hampshire- 2
Solid pitching and defense once again led the Knights to a 5-2 victory over the Penman of Southern New Hampshire University. Shane Johnson (Warwick, RI) started for CCRI and pitched four solid innings until running into trouble in the top of the fifth inning. After giving up two runs in the fifth, Johnson was replaced by Matt Laferierre (Coventry, RI) with the bases loaded, no outs, and a 2-0 count on the batter. Laferierre pitched out of the jam without further damage and shut down SNHU for the remainder of the game with another brilliant effort on the mound. Laferierre picked up the victory by pitching five complete innings, scattering four hits and striking out six. Head Coach Ken Hopkins felt that "Laferierre continues to show steady improvement and has become one of the top pitchers on the team."
The offense jumped on SNHU starter Matt Lipkind for five runs in the first inning by connecting with five hits and two walks to take an early lead. Lipkind settled down after the first inning and the Knights were held scoreless for the remainder of the game. Joe Yankee (Lincoln, RI) continued to lead the CCRI offense with three hits and Co-Captain Nick Coro (North Providence, RI) delivered a two RBI double in the first inning to extend the lead to 5-0. Jacob Saley (Trumbull, CT) continued his hot bat of late with an RBI double in the first inning while Co-Captain Mike Sherburne (North Kingstown, RI) and Jonathan Vazquez (Bridgeport, CT) also contributed RBI singles. Dylan Gracia (Middletown, RI)continues his aggressive play making some fine defensive plays in centerfield while adding two more stolen bases to his team leading total. Coach Hopkins feels that "Gracia has picked-up his aggressiveness over the last ten games and has shown great leadership qualities in the leadoff position."
The Knights travel to Concord, NH to play the Franklin Pierce Junior Varsity team for a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 12noon.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

It's a good time to be Michael Fassbender. Playing a robot in Prometheus, director Ridley Scott's new semi-prequel to his legendary sci-fi movie Alien, Fassbender has been wowing the critics in advance of the film going on general release.
'It's going to be a whole new world within the Alien family,' Fassbender told Metro Weekly. 'It's a totally different area that was overlooked by the characters in the original Alien films. They didn't realise what was at play in the greater scheme of things.'
Fassbender plays the human like android David, who comes on board the ship Prometheus as they search for humanity's origins.
'That's a big theme: Man's ambition to get information from our creators and also challenge them.'
The last twelve months have seen Fassbender appear (and get beaten up) in Haywire, then star opposite Keira Knightley in A Dangerous Method and in the film that wowed critics the most he played a desperate sex addict in the Steve McQueen directed Shame.
The 35-year-old carried off the Best Actor award for Shame at Venice Film Festival, but was criminally overlooked at the Oscars. 'I try not to take the awards too seriously,' he said philosophically after the snub. 'You try not to get wrapped up in the idea of winning something – like: "What does that statue really mean? Oh, I must've achieved something good here because I've got this statue.' But after a while it does penetrate you. You start to think about it and go: 'Well, I hope I win.'
Refreshingly, the actor is candid about his desire for the golden accolade. 'For sure. Absolutely. It is impossible not to. You start off at the beginning and you go: 'It doesn't mean anything. It's a joke. Keep it light.' But it starts to seep into you. So then, when I found out I wasn't nominated, of course I was upset. You're disappointed. But that's my ego and my vanity. So you go: 'That's OK. You have to keep that under control anyway.' And then you move on.'
Fassbender currently lives in London, where he moved after studying theatre in Cork. His ascent to stardom was sturdy but not meteoric. In 2001 a role on the World War II television drama Band of Brothers convinced him he had made it, but it turned out he didn't win another big part for 12 months.
'That was a good lesson for me, because I was like: 'OK, cool. The career is starting off here.' And then nothing – for a year. That taught me not to spend all my money,' he explains.
That awareness might explain his back to back film schedule and work ethic. 'After Prometheus, that was six films in 20 months and I thought: 'OK, I need to take a break now and go back to reality, in the real world and draw from that.'
In his personal life Fassbender recently admitted that he's dating Shame's Nicole Beharie as he prepares to star alongside Brad Pitt in Twelve Years a Slave (his third film with Hunger and Shame director Steve McQueen). It's a creative collaboration unlike any other in film in the last ten years, and it seems certain to underline just how talented and versatile the Irish star actually is.

Mobile isn't just the new normal but a platform where doctors are connecting with—and remembering—ads, according to a 2013 study by communications firm CMI/Compas. Its June Media Vitals study was a first for the media-buying-and-planning agency, exploring how physicians engage with information and when.
In addition to covering physicians' now-familiar multi-screen user habits, CMI found that around 30% of polled doctors said they were aware of ads on their mobile devices. Mobile-ad recall still ranks low among the six specialties polled—cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, general/family practice, oncology and psychiatry—but CMI says mobile recognition is climbing with what it calls a "mid minority." Print medical journals and direct mail are the top-two ad recall/awareness platforms.
Desktops remain a vital resource, and researchers found that the number of screens doctors look at for professional purposes varies with their specialties, with 68% and 57% of polled cardiologists and gastroenterologists, respectively, saying they look at three or more screens for work. Fifty-nine percent of polled oncologist were also at the three-plus screen level, whereas GPs and psychiatrists came in at 49% and 47%, respectively. When it comes to personal use, utilization levels are different, with the majority of all polled specialists saying they used three or more devices on their downtime.
For those wondering whether to overhaul their outreach to include all platforms, CMI's findings indicate it depends on what information is going to be conveyed. For example, researchers found that all specialists used their smartphones an average of eight times a day. While tablets lag, CMI notes that it's not because docs don't like tablets but that the content isn't being used as much because the devices aren't as ubiquitous and the information that is scaled for the mid-size screen is lacking.
Data also suggest that medical and professional sites should be designed to go beyond the desktop: 51% of gastroenterologists said they used their phones to visit these websites, while 50% of cardiologists and endocrinologists looked to these sources on their phones.
Professionals' behavior with phones and tablets wasn't limited to these activities. A sampling of their mobile habits also included: checking formulary status, patient education, e-prescribing, calculating prescription dosing, entering clinical notes, communicating with patients and monitoring patients.
For more data on doctors' multi-screen behavior, see MM&M's 2013 Mobile Guide.

@Tropo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 247 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
Tropo is an API for the phone system. We make it easy for developers to add voice, SMS, and instant messaging to applications. You use familiar web programming with no special telephony knowledge required. Tropo is a product of Voxeo, a 10 year old pioneer in VoIP with 150,000 developers, including half of the Fortune 500.
Tropo's aim is to bring voice applications to smaller developers and startups, groups that are often put off by the costs and complexity of traditional VoIP development.
See http://tropo.com/ for information about Tropo. The logo has recently changed, and the site design is changing to match, so please don't use the site as a style guide.
Our audience is primarily web developers -- both startups and indie developers. Because we offer a 100% free developer platform, we also have a large number of hobbyists and students using the platform.
Because the audience are developers, they trend toward 20-35 year old males. They are interested in technology and tend to be early adopters of trends.
This is a shirt that will be given out at events and trade shows. However, it's of utmost importance that it not look like a cheap tradeshow giveaway. Think designer Ts, not corporate artwork.
We want a shirt that developers are proud to wear, not something that just ends up at the bottom of their drawer.
Designing something that doesn't fit the usual mold of artwork centered on the chest or back is encouraged. Wrap things around the sides. Put something over the sleeve. Run it off the bottom. Have fun.
The logo should be prominent, either in size or placement. Someone familiar with Tropo seeing the shirt at a distance of 100 feet should recognize it and the logo. Attached are full color and single color logos in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

After finally completing all quests in The Great River region I got my hands on this fabulous and unique chain robe. I have been wearing it without a helm or gloves the past couple of nights raiding atop Orthanc wondering what was missing. As Saruman finally surrendered to my kin for the first time (insert applause here) I was very motivated to create something out of this robe, and obtained the Malledhrim crafted heavy set; which I have been after for a very long time but stupidly enough never just asked for someone to craft it for me until tonight.
I never realised just how wonderful the pieces are in this set, I have been staring at the helm for about 10 minutes now because it's just sooo so beautiful and compliments the robe perfectly with the chainmail at the back. Gloves were the only issue I came across but I expected this as I read about it from Hymne over at CosmeticLotro, there are bad clipping issues with nearly all gloves and this robe so I went very basic, and dyed them gold in an attempt to help the gold that is on the helm.
I have been tasked with creating an outfit for my kin to all wear also, and I've made some good progress so I will most likely be adding my ideas and designs onto this blog sometime in the coming weeks.
For now, happy hunting as always.

April 30, 2008
Students of the 2008 senior class are near the end of their journeys at Wabash, but their travels will not end here. More than 72 seniors have accepted jobs, internships, or admittance into graduate or professional schools. Dozens more are still in the process of applying for jobs, interviewing, and deciding what they want to do next.
Their plans range from teaching math and coaching baseball and basketball at North Montgomery High School in Crawfordsville (Ryan Nuppnau) to teaching English in Niger, Africa for the Peace Corp (Ryan Morris). Many seniors have found work at financial firms like Ameriprise Financial (Bart Banach). Others students have committed to non-profit organizations like Teach for America (David Coddens, Chris Geggie, Ryan Leagre, Jason Simons) and The Love Community Center (Josh Bellis).
The Schroeder Career Center keeps an updated listing of graduate school enrollment and job placement on their website. Click here to see the full list.
Some students will continue their schooling in graduate and professional programs in theatre, journalism, law, music, and medicine at universities all over the country. Wassim Labaki and Clayton Craig will both spend the next four years of their lives in medical and dentistry school, respectively.
Labaki was accepted to Georgetown School of Medicine in Washington, DC and will enroll in its four-year M.D. program. The biology major and French Club founder applied to many medical schools on the East and West coasts as well as the Midwest. But Georgetown was at the top of his list because of its educational mission and philosophy. Students who attend the medical school must not only fulfill their research requirements but perform community service as well.
"Georgetown teaches students to become both scholars and healers," said Labaki, who is from Lebanon. "Georgetown focuses on the double side of medicine: the scientific side of medicine – treating people, cells, drugs, disease, symptoms – but at the same time they deeply care about the humanistic side of medicine and the ethical dimension of medicine – like how you would communicate with your patient and his family. I really wanted to be an all-around physician."
Labaki thinks Washington D.C. will be a great place to learn and live. "Washington offers an interesting setting in that it is a very dynamic city with a diverse student and patient population. In addition, numerous important governmental agencies are located in or close to the city, including the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation."
Pre-Health Advisor Jill Rogers said Labaki will be the first Wabash student to attend Georgetown in a long time and the educational approach should be a good match for him.
"Georgetown Med school is a top-tier school, and out of over 10,000 applicants per year, only about 150 will matriculate there." Rogers said. Many of their applicants and interviewees have high MCAT scores and GPAs (as did Wassim), so they look for individuals whom they believe have the maturity and life experience to be clinically skilled, research minded, and compassionate. I believe Wassim to have these qualities, and I know Wassim will be a wonderful ambassador for Wabash at this school."
Morristown, Indiana native Clayton Craig was accepted to IUPUI's School of Dentistry and will begin his four-year, year-round program in early July. The first two years will be dedicated primarily to learning anatomy and dental technique, while the second two years will be spent practicing in a clinic.
Unlike Labaki, Craig, who has a couple of physicians in his family, applied to only one dental school. The decision was the result of IU Dental being the only in-state dental school and his having previously been an intern there. Craig, who was the President of Glee Club for two years, is financing his dental schooling through the Army's Health Profession Scholarship Program, and he will perform four years of dental service to the military after graduation.
Craig wanted to be a dentist before college: a combination of wanting to be in the medical field, of not wanting to be a physician, and positive experience with his own orthodontist when he had braces. Although he is a biology major, Craig said art may have been more helpful.
"Just in talking to a lot of dentists, a major in art would probably have gone further [than biology] in preparing me specifically for dentistry," he said. "Just being able to work with fine details. Being able to articulate things with your fingers. Just building up manual dexterity."
Both Labaki and Craig said the college's emphasis on critical thinking and philosophy of being well-rounded played a major role in getting them where they are today. Labaki minored in Chemistry and Math and has been the editor-in-chief of Erotan, a science journal, while at Wabash. Craig was a photographer for the Bachelor and Public Affairs Office, Captain of the Diving Team, and member of Wabash Christian Men.
Scott Crawford, Director of the Schroeder Career Center, said he was pleased with the success students were having planning their futures. He also stressed the idea that each individual make the correct decision for himself.
"We've been very pleased with the number of students who have come in this year," said Crawford, adding student and alumni can utilize the career center during the summer and after they have graduated. "We've seen more students this year than we've ever seen. I'm pleased with the range of the kinds of places students are going, and the successes that they are having. And I want to make it clear that just because someone does not have a job right now doesn't mean that it's necessarily a bad thing. You don't have to have a job the day you graduate to be a success. Making the right decision is the most important thing."
