Epsilon Beta Rechartered
Delta Sigma Phi History 1965
After several months of visits and correspondence the numbers of nationals from which Delta Kappa could choose to merge with was narrowed to five: Alpha Chi Rho, Delta Chi, Pi Sigma Epsilon, Sigma Pi and of course Delta Sigma Phi.
In the spring of 1964 the convention was held at Oshkosh. It was hoped that the delegates would select a national at that time but problems arose and no selection was made. It was decided to wait until that summer when a special convention would be held to make the final choice. Finally in July the chapters met. The meeting proceeded irregularly and quickly, Sigma Pi National Fraternity was chosen by a majority of the delegates, but two chapters elected to proceed independently. The case for doing so was strong. An officer of Delta Kappa National had accepted a position with one of the other national office choices before the convention. This and other irregular proceedings prompted Iota Alpha Sigma at Oshkosh and Epsilon at Ithaca New York to refuse affiliation. Iota Alpha Sigma, at the recommendation of Ed Stodola sought affiliation with Delta Sigma Phi National Fraternity. Delta Sigma Phi expressed its wish to add Iota to its rolls. From that point on, it was a matter of details.
Special note should be given to those who led Iota to its membership with Delta Sigma Phi. Edward Stodola whose efforts far exceeded that of any other member, Daryl Enli, John D'amencourt, Darryl Messer, James Berger, and those who assisted with the myriad of details without which the merger would not have been possible.
Forty-five former members of Delta Kappa Fraternity, which dissolved last summer to affiliate with Delta Sigma Phi International Fraternity, will be initiated into the new group tomorrow evening. The forty-five will be initiated by regional represents assisted by six fraternity brothers who were initiated in special ceremonies held at the University of Illinois chapter a week ago. Once a large national group with 46 chapters, Delta Kappa's roster was reduced due to two wars. Seven chapters remained when the group was dissolved and have been since absorbed into larger nationals. In merging with Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Kappa becomes one of 104 chapters with a total membership of 50,000.
Great and sincere pride was felt by all who attended the recent installation of a new chapter in the family of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. Too many it is a story that was once a dream and now has come true. The evening of May 5 5 1965 will be a most memorable one for the 60 newly activated members of Delta Sigma Phi International Fraternity, for this was the night that EpsilonBeta would be initiated into the brotherhood.
Despite what many think, our Fraternity chapter wasn't always called by the same name. The Epsilon Beta chapter of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity started out as Iota Alpha Sigma, which then joined the Delta Kappa National Fraternity. After a couple of years Delta Kappa then merged with Delta Sigma Phi. I have assembled several news articles from the respective mergers and have assembled them in chronological order. They are unedited and therefore several points may be repeated. I think our older members may remember some of these articles from when they first appeared.
Iota Alpha Sigma men became members of Delta Sigma Phi National Fraternity Inc., in the spring of 1960. Delta Kappa encourages brotherly friendship, interest and support both during the college days and later as alumni Membership in Delta Kappa means comradeship, fellowship, membership in a social order, opportunities for leadership and a real group experience. The motto of the fraternity, "True leadership is possible only through honorable and upright living," was well evidenced this year. Seven Delta Kappa men served on student government, and the YGOP and the young democrats were both led by DK presidents.
At Homecoming, Delta Kappa backed court members Karen Koeper, their Winter Carnival King Candidate, Ed Stodola and placed on the court. "Nearsighted Mr. Magoo," provided a theme for the DK ice sculpture. Fraternal social events also found their place on the Delta Kappa agenda. In December, the annual Winter Formal was held in Green Lake. The Red Rose Formal was again held in New London in May. As has been done in the past, DK sponsored the annual "Songfest" and gave the proceeds in the form of a scholarship to some worthy male OSC student.
The Delta Kappa National Fraternity met in convention in Ithaca, New York, early in the spring of 1963. Six chapters were present, the entire strength of Delta Kappa. One of the resolutions that resulted from the meeting brought Delta Kappa close to its new future. It was decided that expansion was too costly for six chapters to undertake; therefore merger with a larger national fraternity would be sought. Ed Stodola of the Iota Alpha Sigma chapter at Oshkosh, Wisconsin was selected to investigate the possibilities of a merger. In the fall of 1963, he sent out requirements to over 60 nationals
Epsilon Beta Rechartered
December 7, 1984
Since becoming a colony in November 1983, Epsilon Beta has had an interesting and exciting time on the Oshkosh campus. Delta Sigma Phi was the first national fraternity to reorganize an inactive chapter there. That fall, National Chapter Leadership Consultants Joe Curley and Eric Johannsen rushed and secured 40 pledges. The pledges were instructed by Epsilon Iota and experienced many growing pains during the pledge education period. The main goal of the group was to become a chapter by 1985.
The colony was under the leadership of President John Kelly and Vice President Mike McEnroe during the 1983-84 school year. The remainder of the first semester was devoted to activities that stressed brotherhood and working together as a group to accomplish attainable goals. The service project that Epsilon Beta undertook was a jail-for-bail. It was held in an area shopping mall and a mock trial was broadcast on a radio station. Then treasurer Ron Vallone was supposedly tried and convicted for embezzlement.
Thirty men were intitiated on March 24, 1984, at the Pollack Alumni House on campus. The initiation was run by the Lacrosse chapter. This single event was the turning point for the colony. Spring elections and a rush were held at the very end of March. Five men were pledged.
Maintaining close relations with the alumni of the is important to Epsilon Beta. Newsletters were started once again. This kept the alumni in touch with the colony and gave the brothers the opportunity to use their writing skills. Through the newsletters, trips to see the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers were planned. These trips gave brothers and alumni a chance to get to know each other by socializing during and after the games. Much planning work took place in the summer of 1984. The new officers reviewed the group with which they would be working in the fall and set goals.
The fall rush drew in excess of 20 men. Eighteen were pledged to the fraternity on Sept. 26 1984. Steve Hartzheim pledgemaster, directed the pledges through a six week pledge education program, which concluded with the initiation of 15 dedicated men. One of their many pledge projects was to help in the construction of a float for the homecoming parade. Homecoming on the Oshkosh campus was the weekend of Oct. 27. Since homecoming is a time for alumni to rturn to their alma mater, many of the activities were geared toward participation of the colony's alumni. The float, a large covered wagon, won first place in the float competition. It was pulled through the parade route by a team of actives and pledges.
Brothers Dan Dettlaff, Rick Wolfe and pledge Tom Krueger were attendants in the homecoming court. After the parade, a bratwurst fry was held with the alumni in the front yard of the Pollack Alumni house. The Oshkosh Titan football team was defeated in a pouring rain, 31-6 but that didn't dampen the enthusiastic Delta Sigs. That evening actives, alumni, pledges and their dates sailed Lake Butte de Morts on a dinner cruise aboard the Valley Queen II riverboat. Participating in campus and fraternal activities was highly stressed after the initiation of the new members. Brothers Dave Sitter, John Kelly and Pete Geske attended the Eastern Leadership Conference in Indiapolis and returned with many ideas for the continued success of the colony. Delta Sigs are involved in just about every aspect of campus activity. Many of the brothers are hall advisers at Oshkosh. Brothers also are members and hold offices in differen hall governments, the union board, student government and intercollegiate and intramural clubs in their majors. Participation within the fraternity has also risen drastically in part because of the Engineered Leadership Director, Dan Dettlaff.
Winter Carnival, a week full of fun and games, was held the week of Feb. 18, 1985. This was the first big activity for the newly chartered chapter. Epsilon Beta finished in the second place overall in points and won first place in the spirit category. Delta Sigs were the most spirited competitors In fact the brothers cheered for other fraternities when the two were not competing for points...

History of Greek Lettered Organizations at UW Oshkosh
By Tom Breunig
When Universities first started in the United States they had a German inspired intellectual concern for the student. Most classes required memorization of facts and regurgitation on examinations. Students wanted a place to debate and apply the knowledge they had learned. The modern day student organization and Greek-lettered societies spawned from this need.
In 1871, present day University of Wisconsin Oshkosh was created as the Oshkosh Normal School with the primary function of producing teachers. It has grown both in disciplines of study and size since that time. The University has also held the following names at one point in its history: Oshkosh State Teachers College, Wisconsin State University, University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh…
You can find the roots of present day Greek-letter organizations in the first organizations founded on campus, for they had academics as their priority, membership development as a mission and social interactions as a consequence. The first organizations on the campus of UW Oshkosh dealt with the application of knowledge learned in the classroom and were mainly literary and forensic organizations.
Lyceum organized in the first year of the university, 1871. The organization accepted both men and women for membership, with its main objective being to send out orators in defense of liberty. Their motto was "We shape our own destiny."
In 1873 a group of young men organized a society. Protarian, which excluded women, but quickly reorganized to include them. The new Forensic society was called Phoenix, for they had risen from the ashes of their predecessor. Their motto was "Culture, not Show." In the spirit of competition, Phoenix and Lyceum participated in annual debating contests.
The first organization with a stated objective of brotherhood was formed in 1899. Philakean was an exclusively male literary and debating society. In 1900, Alethean organized as an all women's literary and debating group. They strived to create an atmosphere of sisterhood development along with loyalty to each other, school and society.
Greek letters were first used in the name of an organization in 1922 with the emergence of two all-women's organizations. Delta Phi was created to promote the further social advantages of women along with the study of contemporary poetry. Gamma Sigma perpetuated the study of literature, promoting acquaintances and participation in campus life. They limited their membership to 25 members and met every Saturday evening.
In 1923 Lambda Chi, a women's only society, and Kappa Gamma (originally named Val Ferrari), a coed society were also founded at UW Oshkosh.
Up to this point none of the organizations had a national affiliate. In 1926 Ruralities was created on campus. They became affiliated with the National Country Life Collegiate Club in 1927. Their name was changed to Alpha Chi in 1930.
Iota Alpha Sigma, named so in 1927, originated in the Industrial Arts Department as an organization of students in 1914. Membership was opened up to secondary education majors in 1935 and worked under the motto of "The All Is the Sum of The Small." It was the objective of Iota Alpha Sigma to promote fellowship and the ideals of worthy social standards.
The last pre-World War II Greek organization, Kappa Delta Pi, was established in 1935 with the help of Lyceum.
The current structure of social activities between male and female organizations can be traced back to post World War I. At this point in our history there was a trend toward having brother-sister society affiliations. Some coed societies become single sex. Phoenix became exclusively female while Lyceum absorbed their men. Delta Phi also became the sister society of Iota Alpha Sigma. Periclean became the brother society of Gamma Sigma. The affiliated organizations began having joint social affairs in the form of formal and informal dances.
These organizations became active in community service around 1911. Several notable events were sponsored by the Greek letter society. Alethean sponsored an annual Christmas Romp for the underprivileged youth of Oshkosh in which each child would leave with a stocking full of goodies. When this event was overtaken by a similar Elk's sponsored event, Alethean began a Faculty Tea. Phoenix also sponsored a Christmas Program, and Lambda Chi hosted an annual Orphan Party and donated Christmas baskets to needy families.
Before we detail the histories of the current individual chapters, let us take a quick look at the evolution and history of the InterFraternity and Panhellenic Councils. Starting in 1924 the Inter-Society Council was created to deal with issues in recruitment in addition to the changing from societies to fraternities. The council was composed of two representatives from each men's and women's society. The council changed its name to the InterFraternity Council (IFC) in 1953, while still having the same composition. Panhellenic became the new name of the governing body of the fraternities and sororities in 1958, and until 1960 they kept the same make-up of the IFC. IFC and Panhellenic first co-existed in 1961, serving in capacities similar to today.
UW Oshkosh has been home to a number of nationally recognized Greek organizations. Sororities such as Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, and Gamma Sigma Sigma have held charters here. For fraternities, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Upsilon (mentioned for the Homecoming & Winter Carnival Guru, Jerry Bloesl). The Greek letter organizations on this campus spawned out of the original societies (i.e. Lyceum and Philomathean) in addition to starting from scratch. Through examining the Winter Carnival records it is inferred that there has been a Greek letter organization continuously on campus since Gamma Sigma and Delta Phi in 1922. However, there was a period from 1977 to 1983 where fraternities and sororities were so few in numbers, only one or two organizations existed, that many like to think they did not exist.
I feel it necessary to pay homage to the very first nationally chartered modern Greek organization on campus. Sigma Tau Gamma received their charter on March 12, 1960, however they folded before the Vietnam War and never returned.
Now we come to the national and international Greek organizations that grace our campus. The very first nationally chartered sorority at UW Oshkosh is still on campus today. With roots back to 1922, this organization began with the name Gamma Sigma. They had a limit of 25 members who participated in campus life, promoted acquaintances and sustained the study of literature. On December 11, 1965 the women of Gamma Sigma became officially known as Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity. Despite folding in 1972, the women of Alpha Xi Delta were re-chartered in 1986 and have been on campus ever since.
Iota Alpha Sigma began as a small departmental (Industrial Arts) student organization in 1914; however in 1965 they became known as the men of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. It is unknown exactly when Delta Sigma Phi left campus; they were re-chartered and have had a presence on campus since December 7, 1984.
The third nationally charter organization started as a group called Val Ferraris in 1923. In 1927 their name changed to Kappa Gamma. Finally on May 14, 1966 they received a charter from Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. After a short leave of absence, Gamma Phi Beta has existed on campus since 1985.
The fourth campus organization chartered missed being number three by 8 days. Sigma Pi Fraternity was chartered on May 22, 1966. They have had a chapter on campus every year since, accept from 1976 to 1985.
Coming from the Philomathean Society on campus, Phi Mu was originally chartered in 1968 and re-chartered in 1993. They are last of the original Greek organizations on campus.
The first fraternity on campus to own their house was chartered in 1969. They first resided in the house at 911 Wisconsin St during the 1968-1969 school year. It is believed that Delta Chi has never lost its national charter at UW Oshkosh.
The rest of the twelve Greek letter organizations began after 1987 and all started from the ground up. Sigma Sigma Sigma received their charter on April 11, 1987. Kappa Sigma Fraternity became a nationally recognized chapter on February 9, 1991. Beta Theta Pi was next in line, being chartered on April 8, 1995. Theta Chi Fraternity became the tenth organization on campus by receiving their charter on April 13, 1996. Number eleven, Zeta Tau Alpha was presented their charter on November 21, 1997. On October 29, 1999 Gamma Alpha Omega, a national Latino founded service sorority, was chartered.
This history will surely evolve and improve; however, it is what we know as of now. It is up to each and every one of us to ensure that Greek organizations continue to thrive at UW Oshkosh. Through living the four principles of Greek life (academics, community service, fellowship and leadership), the future pages of this history will tell of fraternities and sororities as role model organizations.

BOOK CLUB REVIEW, April 2010, by Jenny McWha
4 Book Fantasy Series
by Megan Whalen Turner
The Thief, The Queen of Attolia,
the King of Atollia, A Conspiracy of Kings.
I am very excited this month, ladies. That's because I FINALLY get to share with you some of my favourite books ever. The problem is that a lot of people don't know about them, so I couldn't wait to tell all you about them. What are they? Well…
The Good: A series of books by Megan Whalen Turner beginning with The Thief. (A Conspiracy of Kings, out this month, is the fourth book). It tells the story of Gen, a thief who gets himself arrested when he boasts that he can do anything, even steal the King of Sounis's seal ring. Well, that goes wrong, but Gen gets out when Sounis's magus enlists his help to steal something from a neighbouring country. The only problem is that what Gen has to steal may not even exist. The only thing I can say about the rest of the books is that Gen starts to get in more and bigger trouble (and somehow manages to get out of it EVERY time).
So, this may seem like a really vague summary, but there is totally a reason. One of the reasons I love these books so much is that each one contains a very large twist and/or surprise that the reader never expects. Unfortunately, even to give a summary of the current book will ruin some very big twists! Let me just tell you that you will never expect anything that the author throws at you. Part of the fun of this is that when you re-read the books (and I have re-read them many times) you can try to find all the hints that you missed by a long shot the first time.
Another thing that makes these books so good is the main character, Gen. I am not kidding when I say that I think he is the best character that I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. There is something so fun, dangerous, petulant, hilarious, sarcastic, and absolutely loveable about him. I don't know how Megan Whalen Turner does it, but I never tire about reading what new messes he gets himself into. In him is a mixture of loyalty and mischief that makes for a very entertaining read. Plus, Turner is extra sneaky and never tells the reader how old he is. If you're wary about reading so many books with a guy as the main character, then don't despair. Not only is Gen really fun, but he is surrounded by some very strong and very powerful women that any reader would be happy to look up to.
I also really like the setting. As Turner described it, it is like ancient Greece, but in the 1500s, with technology like guns and books. But the Mediterranean landscape and culture gives a nice uniqueness to these books, with so many fantasy novels using a more medieval-England setting. If you are afraid of fantasy, though, these are good books to try, as they have more of a historical than fantasy feel, and the only thing that can really be described as magic is the fact that the gods come down for occasional visits.
Lastly, I love these books because of Megan Whalen Turner's writing. She is far from hard to read, and the books go by very quickly, but her writing has a kind of complexity that you can only see upon going back to experience them again. There are parts that I still don't understand, and probably won't until all the books are written, and maybe not even then. I enjoy them every time, and still marvel about how much the author packs into one sentence, scene, or story. I would love to tell you more, but I just have to say, try them!
Downside: Do I really have to? Well, I'll try. Again, if you really don't like books with a guy as the main character, then maybe these books aren't for you. Something that also threw me off at first is that each book changes the point of view, sometimes even following a character that is totally new. But I did get used to it, and eventually loved those characters just as much as the originals. If you're not used to fantasy this may be hard, too, but I think the story works so well independently of this that it shouldn't be a problem.
Genre: Fantasy, but with more a historical fiction feel.
Ages: 9 to 10 and up, although there is nothing too mature about these books. The great thing about them is that as you age, you see more things about them, and get a totally new experience.
Other Books: Well, I'll start off by telling you all the books in the series: The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, the King of Atollia, and A Conspiracy of Kings. Megan Whalen Turner also has a book of short stories called Instead of Three Wishes. Really, I can't think of any other books like these!
Rating: Two thumbs WAY UP!

Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome... |
Girl, Born April 24, 2006
BOY, born November 9, 2006
Nicholas is officially diagnosed with FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). His delay is considered significant. He needs a loving family to help him achieve all he can be. He does not appear to have any asdditional medical complications from his FAS. This picture makes him seem to have vision problems, but I think it's just a bad picture.
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
Noah (13)
Noah is a sweet boy with light brown hair and big blue eyes. He was born with CP and is significantly cognitively delayed. He is not able to walk at this time, but loves to be held and loves attention and affection. His possibilities are endless!
Boy, Born November 27, 2006
Photo dated Feb 2010. Kenneth is a blonde haired, blue eyed cutie who was born with FAS. Kenneth does have some spasticity on his left side, and will greatly benefit from therapy and a loving family to encourage him! He is diagnosed with hydrocephaly, but this is a result of the FAS. He is not in need of a shunt to correct (the doctors say).
As you can see from this updated picture, Kenneth is doing GREAT! He wants a mama and papa of his own.
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
Boy, Born April 11, 2001
Alexey is consdered significantly delayed. He is fully mobile, and oh so handsome! But he has been given a second chance at life, saved from the mental institution and living in this well-kept school setting.
From a family who met him, Sept 2012:
Alexei is really a handsome guy and I think he knows it! He was playing ball with his groupa and is very active. When he was given a cookie from us he said thank you appropriately and made perfect eye contact. He will be a joy to any family with sons at home!
Update June 2013:
Alexey has a very big sweet tooth! He would not put down his lollipop to take a picture- when asked he told us politely "No, thank you."
Boy, Born May 30, 2001
Boy, Born August 16, 2003
Down syndrome
Glenn has blonde hair and blue eyes. He has Down syndrome, and struggles with the effects of FAS. With this comes strabismus and a valvular heart defect. Despite this, he is doing well, mobile and active and friendly.
As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child's cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger. It is of crucial importance that any family considering the adoption of an older child from the mental institution setting be well prepared for what to expect with regards to how the neglect and lack of adequate medical care and nourishment has affected this child. These children all have TREMENDOUS potential for improvement, and deserve to have a life outside these four walls.
Updated 2012:
Sweet Glenn is such a love! Despite multiple medical conditions he is doing pretty well! He loves to hug and understands commands. His finger motor skills are not well developed. He can eat and use the bathroom independently. He is currently not speaking very much but it does not sound like he attends any speech therapy. He does need help changing his clothes but he is practicing!
This little guy could greatly use a family to help stimulate his speech and his fine motor skills.
These children are truly living on borrowed time, and families should be home study approved before an official commitment can be made for this child.

Diagnosis: cerebral palsy, epileptic syndrome, significant mental delays. Unable to walk, spastic/tight muscles. Evan is blessed to still be at the baby house (as of March 2010), but once he is transferred, he will spend the rest of his short life bedridden. Please consider being a loving family for Evan!
From a missionary who visited with him in March 2012: Evan is also in the boys new house where just 9 children are. He was gentle, lovey, cuddly and just so sweet. He is severely delayed but a gentle delight to be around and he loved stacking blocks with me. He was picked on quite a bit by the others who I saw hitting him. Felt so desperate for him.
From a family who met him in summer 2012:
One of the boys I worry most about is Evan. He appears to have cerebral palsy. He is stiff and a bit distorted. He does not have the luxury of PT and OT to help him function better. He sits hour after hour in a wheel chair. He will not be one that is given a job on the grounds like the others. As he gets older and bigger he will be moved to a bed and left there. He will be put in a diaper and left in bed – fed there and left – the diaper changed once or twice a day. He will no longer be taken outside he will just be left to lay there.
As I pushed our son's wheelchair back to the house I waved at Evan. His eyes came to life – he was noticed. Later when I returned he waved and smiled. After that I made it a point to include Evan as much as possible. I would push his wheelchair to where the group was. If we were playing with balloons I would make sure he had one. He soon learned to pop the balloon. He thought it was hysterical. It also got him attention – everyone would look.
Of all the kids there I think he has the most room for improvement. With a family that will stretch him and help him I think he has a ton of potential! He is speech delayed also but again has so much potential.
Boy, Born April 10, 2003
HELP! I have been transferred to a remote institution, with no hope of finding my family without you!
Jason spends his time either in a crib or in a stroller, sitting outside.
He needs a lot of love and attention … He is a good, sweet child, but he has a lot of self-injuring behaviors. Unfortunately, he is often restrained because he hits himself really hard.
Update Nov 2012: Jason is learning to walk with support!
From a family who visited with him in June 2013: I saw Jason this morning. I got to take him for a walk in the stroller, play with him, feed him (twice!), and get him ready for his nap. He is wonderful. He loved it when I made my hand crawl up his belly and tickle him under the chin. I was rewarded with loud laughing and a huge smile. He liked to have me rub his feet, and whenever I would stop he would stick his little foot up for more. He makes noises but he does not talk. He can walk if he holds both of your hands, but he prefers to crawl as he can go faster. He is the king of the bouncy seat. He sits in it whenever he can, and he shooed away another child who came too close. He is about the size of a four year old and is in a 4/5 shirt. He's heavier than I thought he would be, but I can carry him easily. I'm totally in love.
Families should be HS approved (or close to it) prior to commitment. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, Born September 2004
Nolan is such a handsome boy! He needs a loving family!
From his medical records: long-term effects of some early trauma (right-side hemiparesis), mild mental delays, seizures, flat feet, farsightedness
He has fine motor skills, understands everything, he talks but it is hard to understand him. Nolan is very physically active, happy and cooperative, friends with other children.
A family living in the states who has 3 children, one who is significantly disabled, has taken a special interest in Nolan but cannot add Nolan to their own family due to the needs of their children. Per the family, "Nolan's eyes and smile caught our heart. He is close in age to one of our own children. We hope this gift will enable someone to give Nolan the chance to live outside an institution."
BOY, Born August 28, 2004
Samson is also blessed to still be at the baby house. He was born with CP and strugges with epilepsy. He has optic nerve subatrophy, and will do great in a family who has experience with vision impairments! The caregivers say he has a great personality! Samson has so much potential!
Sealey needs a family….he has severe CP, and is diagnosed with congenital brain malformation; anencephalea (no cerebral cortex). He is not able to walk and needs full care. It wil be so wonderful to see him blossom in a loving family. He is facing the institution very soon.
Boy, Born November 12, 2002
Diagnosis: Down syndrome
Ruslan is a handsome young man who is in desperate need of a family right away. He has strabismus, and is also a CARRIER of Hepatitis B. (www.webmd.com) He is asymptomatic at this time. We are trying to get more details on his Hep B….he is living in the general population of children, so they don't appear to be very concerned about him transmitting it to other children. (Typically, children with blood-born viruses such as Hep B and HIV are isolated in special orphanages and never available to be adopted, so we are thinking that maybe he tested positive at birth and hasn't been retested, or he isn't showing any outwards symptoms).
From a nurse in the infectious disease unit in a pediatric hospital: *** Hepatitis B is something that children in the USA are routinely vaccinated for. If parents have not received the vaccinations, they can easily go to their physician and receive the series. With these vaccinations transmission is extremely minimal as vaccinated parties can have immunity to Hepatitis B. Titers (simple blood test) can also be drawn after taking the vaccines to make sure immunity has been acquired. Hepatitis B is also treatable with medications and people can also just be carriers of the virus. This health condition is labeled chronic, but with proper medical treatment and simple precautions it is very treatable and the risk of transmission is minimal at most. ***
Ruslan has already been transferred out to the institution due to his age, but he can still be adopted!! Families considering Ruslan should be home study complete/approved prior to commitment, as his needs will be great. Please open you heart to little Ruslan….he needs you!
Boy, Born October 30, 1998
Diagnosis: Down syndrome
Bobby is described as a kind and helpful boy. He is healthy and active and a favorite of the institution staff. When our missionary visited there, Bobby reached out and kissed the hand of the social worker, old fashioned gentleman's style! What a cutie!
Bobby has so much potential and could really do well in a loving family environment. He is 13 already, and is one of the oldest of our waiting children. A family experienced with older children with special needs would be a great fit for Bobby! Please don't leave him here for the rest of his life!
Donations will be accepted for this child when further information is received.
HIV+, heart defect, vision issues (blind in one eye), moderate mental delay
Kristopher is a handsome young man with blonde hair and brown eyes. He is very active and is said to be always happy, but he is quite delayed. Kristopher has significant vision issues, which may or may not be correctable.
From a family who met him in October 2012:
Kristopher is a super-sweet boy who is 5 but looks 2 and is happy ALL the time. He needs to live near a large medical facility, have heart surgery (unless it's too late), and probably needs a small family that can commit to pretty full care for him. He is darling!

Talia (26)
Talia (26)
Girl, Born March 17, 2007
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
This darling little girl is 5 years old now. She is walking and active, and is waiting for her "forever family". She was born with FAS, and has many of the facial features common to this condition. Talia is actually diagnosed with FAS, so there must be documentation of consumption during pregnancy in the records.
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
Talia is living in the same orphanage as Janie is and they can be adopted together.
Girl, Born October 2007
Oh Darina, how she has regressed (( We had such a darling photo of her from two years ago, and to see her like this now breaks my heart. She could have come so far and been spared this ;(

From her medical records: congenital brain abnormality, atopic-astenic syndrome, delay of mental and motor development, microcephaly, hip dysplasia, congenital isotropy of both eyes, koch valga to the left (foot position)

Victoria (43)
Boy, born July 2003
Little Kiril was born with microcephaly (a small head) as a result of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). He is considered significantly delayed. He has brown hair and brown eyes, and so desperately wants to know life outside of this orphanage. He is a darling little boy, and the orphanage director would so love to find a family for him soon. He is able to stand, and can walk with help, but his speech is very delayed. With therapy and a loving family and educational opportunities, Kirill has so much potential in life!
Kiril has been transferred to a special needs school, not an institution. We have several other children waiting there who could be adopted with him.
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
UPDATE fall 2012:
Kiril is making progress, he can walk independently, he tries to service himself, tries to hold a spoon and eat by himself. He doesn't speak, but tries to repeat words. He is very nice, quiet, not aggressive and very handsome, all caregivers love him.
He needs a family NOW.

From his medical records: congenital hydrocephalus, spastic tetraparesis, movement disorders, symptomatic epilepsy, severe mental delay, partial optic atrophy.
From an adoptive family in summer 2012:
Daniel is not doing well. His head has enlarged quite a bit and both times I saw him he was lying down in a raised toddler bed. He clearly needs medical help for the hydrocephalus.
This region typically waives the 10 day waiting period for children with special needs.
Sergey needs a loving family who can help him achieve his full potential. He is destined to be bedridden for his very short life if he is not adopted. he is able to sit on his own and does his best to get around. He is significantly delayed and really needs a family!

Jared (26)
Jared (26)
BOY, born May 1, 2007
This handsome young man, with dark hair and dark eyes, was born with a rare genetic condition called Stickler Syndrome. His medical records also indicate microcephaly, a common symptom of SS.
Individuals with Stickler syndrome experience a range of signs and symptoms. Some people have no signs and symptoms; others have some or all of the features described below. In addition, each feature of this syndrome may vary from subtle to severe.
A characteristic feature of Stickler syndrome is a somewhat flattened facial appearance. This is caused by underdeveloped bones in the middle of the face, including the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. A particular group of physical features, called the Pierre Robin sequence, is common in children with Stickler syndrome. Robin sequence includes a U-shaped or sometimes V-shaped cleft palate (an opening in the roof of the mouth) with a tongue that is too large for the space formed by the small lower jaw. Children with a cleft palate are also prone to ear infections and occasionally swallowing difficulties.
Many people with Stickler syndrome are very nearsighted (described as having high myopia) because of the shape of the eye. People with eye involvement are prone to increased pressure within the eye (ocular hypertension) which could lead to glaucoma and tearing or detachment of the light-sensitive retina of the eye (retinal detachment). Cataract may also present as an ocular complication associated with Stickler's Syndrome. The jelly-like substance within the eye (the vitreous humour) has a distinctive appearance in the types of Stickler syndrome associated with the COL2A1 and COL11A1 genes. As a result regular appointments to a specialist ophthalmologist are advised. The type of Stickler syndrome associated with the COL11A2 gene does not affect the eye.
People with this syndrome have problems that affect things other than the eyes and ears. Arthritis, abnormality to ends of long bones, vertebrae abnormality, curvature of the spine, scoliosis, joint pain, and double jointedness are all problems that can occur in the bones and joints. Physical characteristics of people with Stickler can include flat cheeks, flat nasal bridge, small upper jaw, pronounced upper lip groove, small lower jaw, and palate abnormalities, these tend to lessen with age and normal growth and palate abnormalities can be treated with routine surgery.
Another sign of Stickler syndrome is mild to severe hearing loss that, for some people, may be progressive (see hearing loss with craniofacial syndromes). The joints of affected children and young adults may be very flexible (hypermobile). Arthritis often appears at an early age and worsens as a person gets older. Learning difficulties, not intelligence, can also occur because of hearing and sight impairments if the school is not informed and the student is not assisted within the learning environment.
Stickler syndrome is thought to be associated with an increased incidence of mitral valve prolapse of the heart, although no definitive research supports this.
Boy, Born January 14, 2005
Little Vitaly is so handsome, with his dark hair and eyes! Vitaly was born with CP and is not able to walk at this time. He is moderately cognitively delayed, but will regress every day he is in this place. He is already living in an institution, and he needs to be rescued desperately. Otherwise he will never have a chance to walk, never have the opportunity for surgery or therapy.

2. | Good day | ||
The day you accomplish something you've been meaning to do for a long time. It usually involves doing something bad ass and having people give you compliments all day, such as "that was so cool" or "you are god". Valerie came up and started bugging me again so I fucked her shit up; it was a good day.
3. | Good day | ||
something said by one Brit to another in an attempt at cordiality when in actuality both parties despise the other (which can be attributed to irritablility caused by bad weather and overly high socks.) "Good day to you too....you bloody cheap bastard."
4. | good day | ||
When a girls ass or camel toe is showing perfectly. "Holy shit dude, did you see Megan today?"
"Yeah man, its a good day." |
5. | good day | ||
A day in which you perform the freund multiple times. Damn that good day sure looks like he got a lot of sun.

I've noticed that many of the forum discussions that TA has tweeted lately have contained glaring grammatical and spelling errors. I find this disappointing and even personally embarrassing as it inevitably reflects not only on the original poster but on the forum as a whole and, by extension, the larger atheist community. I know written communication isn't everything, and it certainly isn't a high priority among the public generally, but we should try to meet a higher standard. Given the unlikelihood that individual posters will suddenly take more care when writing, I think the operators of the site's Twitter feed should consider not tweeting discussion titles with serious errors.
That's one poster's opinion, for whatever it's worth.

Swann Galleries' announces autumn auction of African-American fine art in October
Norman Lewis, Promenade, oil on canvas, 1961. Estimate: $120,000 to $180,000.
Swann Galleries
autumn auction of African-American Fine Art on October 6 features many exciting discoveriessignificant works by important artists that were previously unrecorded or never exhibited.
The earliest piece in the sale is one of these recent findings, an Untitled (Landscape) oil on canvas painting by Robert S. Duncanson. This large example of the 19th-century painters mid-career landscapes employs many of the romantic motifs Duncanson is known for, with figures relaxing in an idyllic, park-like landscape and classical buildings in the background (presale estimate: $60,000 to $90,000).
Also from the 19th century are two landscapes by Edward M. Bannister, one depicting a Bridge and Cows, oil on canvas board, 1874, the other a Rhode Island Landscape, oil on canvas, 1893 ($8,000 to $12,000 each).
A fascinating piece that represents an important collaboration is The Hubert Log Cabin, wood panel, circa 1935. Carved by sculptor Augusta Savage and painted by Norman Lewis, the piece was made during a summer they spent at the Hubert family cabin on Marthas Vineyard. Lewis was a student of Savages in the early 1930s ($20,000 to $30,000).
There is also a large oil on canvas by Lewis, titled Promenade, from 1961. This is the largest oil painting by the artist to come to auction since an untitled painting acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston at Swann in October 2008. Promenade has never been exhibited, as it was purchased shortly after being painted in 1961, and was part of series of paintings in which the artist experimented with the gradual abstraction of his calligraphic ritual figures ($120,000 to $180,000).
Other monumental mid-century master works by the genres most sought after artists are:
Charles Whites impressive Work is the first large scale drawing from his important 1950s period to come to auction. Created during the height of his New York career, the drawing is an excellent example of how, in the early 1950s, White depicted working men and women on a grand scale, with an intensity of mark making and an attention to natural gestures that turned his subjects into heroic figures ($200,000 to $250,000).
Desert Forms, oil on masonite, 1957, is an excellent example from the height of Hughie Lee-Smiths mid-career paintings. It epitomizes his 1950s exploration of a modern, existential landscapes inhabited by isolated figures ($50,000 to $75,000).
A significant Abstract Expressionist painting by Hale Woodruff, Rape of Europa, oil on canvas, circa 1958, documents the artists move from figuration to abstraction in the 1950s. This painting is one of only four known oil paintings from his Mythic series ($90,000 to $120,000).
In Charles Alstons largest work to come to auction, Untitled (Figure Composition), oil on canvas, circa 1974, he captures New York Citys mid-1970s popular street culture. The painting, which comes from his estate, is a significant late career work that marks the culmination of Alstons large figurative painting ($60,000 to $90,000).
Twins, Barkley L. Hendrickss oil and acrylic on canvas diptych, 1977, comprises two life-size paintings that together are the first of his important white on white paintings to appear at auction. In the 1970s, Hendricks began a series of paintings of large figures in stylish white outfits painted against white backgrounds. Hendricks called them double whammies, combining the strong personalities of the subjects with the bold formal aspect of his limited palette series ($100,000 to $150,000).
The auction features five paintings and watercolors from the estate of Loïs Mailou Jones, marking the first time works have been available at auction directly from her personal collection. These include Coin de la Place Maubert, Paris, oil on canvas, 1952 ($15,000 to $25,000).
There are fine unique works and prints by Romare Bearden, among them the collage Untitled (Scales of Justice), circa 1976 ($40,000 to $60,000) and Baptism, color screenprint, 1975 ($20,000 to $30,000).
Other noteworthy prints are Dox Thrashs Sunday Morning, etching, 1939 ($8,000 to $12,000); Elizabeth Catletts Sharecropper, color linoleum cut, circa 1952 ($12,000 to $18,000); and Jacob Lawrences Eight Passages, color screenprints chine-collé, on St. Armand paper, 1990 ($30,000 to $50,000).
Sculpture highlights include Meta Vaux Warrick Fullers Silence and Repose, pair of plaster bookends painted gold, circa 1934 ($7,000 to $10,000); Richmond Barthés African Man (Shilluk or Maasai Warrior), cast bronze, 1933 ($10,000 to $15,000); and Artis Lanes Hurdlers, set of three cast bronze figures, painted black, 1983 )$12,000 to $18,000).

L' Autrichienne
I do not like female vocalists.
Having gotten that out of the way, the new Jucifer album is incredibly powerful, due in great part to a central theme. 'L'Autrichienne' sees the delightful RV-traveling duo rambling through twenty-one tracks covering the days leading up to Marie Antoinette's execution and the French Revolution, a feat that I imagine hasn't been covered so colorfully in audio form. Some tracks involve the rioting French masses against the socio-economic injustices of the monarchy, others expand upon what could have been the thoughts and prayers of Marie Antoinette in her prison chamber, and one song in particular makes an intriguing guess as to what the minute of lucid thought after decapitation must feel like. This is a legitimate playing field for grindcore bumping elbows with sludge, where doom meets garage rock, and everything in between. Nothing here is artificial, and despite its inherent variety, 'L'Autrichienne' doesn't make the mistake of having tracks that sound like they could have been made by someone else - this is unmistakably Jucifer.
Amber Valentine and Edgar Livengood virtually play everything on 'L'Autrichienne,' from hammond organs to booming horns and the standard gritty guitars and crisp drums. That is not to make claims toward Amber and Edgar being polymaths, but they are versed enough in each of the featured instruments to pull off the mood they're trying to achieve (the aforementioned horns make an especially memorable mark in "Armada," itself a delicate and dolesome union of different sounds). What could be said of L'Autrichienne could not be said without mentioning the dichotomous arrangements. Take the opening three: 'Blackpowder' pummels with a fist-pumpingly energetic southern sludge sound; "Thermidor" lets down the album's hair and provides a grindcore track as gritty as any other; and "To Earth" reels back towards a somber and blissful sweetness that harkens to one or two tracks from 2006's "If Thine Enemy Hunger." L'Autrichienne is nothing if not varied, as one solid listen to the album's entirety can attest.
However, the album is not without its flaws, and the variety's the first one: we can't necessarily pigeonhole Jucifer into any particular genre. I know, it sounds like a weird complaint, but who am I to suggest listening to this album? The pussy indie crowd's probably going to hate the grind tracks and anything else remotely heavy (see "Traitors"), and the elitist metal dicks are going to gnash their teeth on the plastic casing as soon as they realize only two out of twenty-one tracks are grindcory goodness. What is the demographic, save the open-minded (one such demographic that is hard to define, and harder still to find)? Your average audiophile may have trouble digesting this raucous romp crossing genres of all shapes and sizes. That being said, each of the styles Jucifer touches upon is carefully produced per track to replicate the optimal sound per that genre; the buzz and bang of "Fall of the Bastille" doesn't continue into "To the End" and its entrancing clean guitars and vocals.
If you have the capacity to unhinge your inhibitions, Jucifer might have brewed a sonic concoction or two for you to consume. Oh, and regarding my opening statement, Amber sings wonderfully and ranks among a carefully picked few female vocalists I enjoy. Cheers to Jucifer.

Generation-Y, Millenials, The Trophy Generation, whatever you choose to call them, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 36% of the workforce will be made up of these young professionals by 2014. By 2020, half of the workforce will be Millenials. To achieve long-term success, business leaders will have to keep Gen-Y happy and productive.
Here's your 3-point plan to Gen-Y success:
Invest in development:
Gone are the days where money is the only motivator for young professionals. For most Millenials professional development is the most important benefit they're looking for when choosing an employer. Millenials need to understand timelines for advancement and be kept in the loop about growth opportunities. A structured mentoring leadership development program for recent graduates is a great way to cultivate young talent for future leadership responsibilities.
Encourage teamwork:
For a generation raised in team sports and group projects, promoting team cohesiveness can increase productivity and loyalty. Millenials often feel a stronger connection to the people at a company than the actual company. Building strong relationships with colleagues will lead to a stronger connection with the organization as a whole.
Give responsibility:
A generation of risk-takers and thrill-seekers with immense confidence in their abilities, Millenials crave responsibility in the workplace. Giving responsibility doesn't necessarily mean altering job descriptions. Ensuring young professionals know how their role contributes to the overall success of the organization is vital to Millenials.
Implementing these strategies will require time and effort on the part of today's leadership, but with a large number of Baby Boomer's nearing retirement the leaders of today cannot afford to neglect the movers and shakers in business of tomorrow. Using strategic approach to effectively leverage the talents of these fresh-faced thinkers will ensure a promising future for organizations.
