If you've ever dated someone of a different race, culture, or religion then you have probably had one of those awkward moments. I'm talking about the moment that one of you have said something insensitive or insulting about that person's beliefs, race, culture, etc. Hopefully it was unintentional, but in order to recover from it, you must talk it out.
I can remember dating a sweet, red-haired freckled white guy with a great sense of humor. I was still in my "is he dating me out of curiosity/novelty" phase, so I was a little more sensitive to what he said. I think this was a good thing because it brought about good discussion about his intentions.
When he once made a disparaging remark about black women, things got heated. Let me tell you, trying to explain to someone you are dating that they sound like a racist is not a fun conversation. It got heated and a little rough! I think he finally got the point that I was trying to make but it came close to being what ended things between us.
Have you ever dated someone when circumstances forced you to have a tough conversation about their insensitive behavior?
Have you ever dated someone new and discovered their not so politically correct side? What is something that made you dump them? Has someone ever dumped you because of your views about world views, race, sexuality, or cultural beliefs?

Have you ever
dated been married to someone when circumstances forced you to have a tough conversation about their insensitive behavior?
Uh Yeah. But that's a story for another day.
Now just on political correctness, that a difficult area no matter what the nature of the relationship is. There are certain things that I have to be careful and not say around certain people. My husband and friends, they are good. They know me and know that I mean no harm in some things that I may say. Particularly because they know how I was raised and know the person that I raised myself to be.
My greatest area to watch what I say is here at work. I am black woman. I grew up as a black woman. I grew up with other black women so I picked up a lot of black ways and sayings. It's in me. It's who I am. But that becomes a problem when some people find out that another box is checked on my birth certificate. The checked box does not change who I am on the inside. But hey it is what it is.
One example in particular is the saying "ninja please". My friends and I said it when I was growing up when someone stepped to us wrong or said or did something that was just out there. But I can't say it around just anybody now. I would be viewed as making a racist comment. But any other black person can freely use it and nothing be thought of it. But it means the same thing when they say it and when I say it. But hey that's life.

Good Morning
Not sure if this is On Topic but here goes..- I am currently dating a white guy that can be insensitive at times but NOT towards me nor my race.. He has never been checked before by anyone so I have had to tweek my checking ability so that he doesn't go on the defensive.. Also he has never been in love and in my opinion, I think he is scared to be in love.. Poor thing Sorry about my rant..
Back to the topic

I think one important factor in mix dating is both have to careful how they put it out there. You can't make a comment about your own race, religion or culture in front of or to your opposite partner that you would not want them to make. See when you set it up, you open the door. And this is mainly with AA's. See how I just said that. Now somebody is sitting here thinking she ain't even black, how can she make that reference. But I am so I am allowed. And so is any and every one else we feel and knows that to be the case. No matter what race they are.
So if you are baptist and your date is buddhist, don't make comments about how baptist folks are trifling if you can't except that statement being made by your buddhist friend. You best believe if the Bud is already thinking it, you actually saying will open the door for it to be said.
I have always dated the opposite. I dated men. And every man that I dated probably heard me say that women are crazy. I know that men already think that and me saying it just let them know that I was okay with them saying it. Even when I wasn't. (Not really that simple, but I wanted to give another example)
Now where is my tea?

I once "dated" a caucasian young lady that asked a lot of cultural questions about Black People (like "Why do the Black Men grab their crotch? Why do Black Women always look so mean?").
These questions are common and as long as the nature of the inquiry is iquisitive as opposed to denegrating, I'll answer any question in that fashion.
I did ask her what beat she heard when dancing (abc will like this) in a four/four measure she's dancing to one and three as opposed to two and four.
So there information to be gleaned, barriers to be broken if there a willingness to confront questions with an open mind.

I've never dated outside of my race but that doesn't mean I wouldn't BUT I think a large part of the reason I haven't is b/c of the "curiosity/novelty" factor as well. But I'm definitely open to the prospect of it though.

NewYork I would but you situation with the same as rich and poor. Someone that grew up rich may be unintentionally insensitive to those who grew up with less. They may not understand the struggle of a poor man. They may understand why he do things he does and feel the way he feels. They may make statements about welfare and government housing not realizing how a man that grew up under that system may take offense to it.
That is another example of if you don't want your new money-born love interest to open express his thoughts on the "system" be sure to keep your lips sealed and not make off the wall comments about it yourself.

Good rainy morning blog!
I have never really encountered this problem in dating because I've never dated outside of my race, culture or radically outside my religion. I would not have a problem dating outside my race – in fact that is where I was headed if I had not met my SO. I generally date men who show an interest in me and another race has never really approached me. There were a few in college I had my eye on but nothing ever came of it. As for different culture, I briefly talked to a guy from Sierra Leone and he was charming but in the brief time we conversed I could already see signs of possessiveness. Anyone who is not a christian-based denomination I stop directly at the gate.
Like Raqi, work can be a challenge if it is a diverse environment, which I've always worked in. I am a pro at it, having gone to diverse colleges. For some of my coworkers it presents more of a challenge. I have to remind them sometimes that we are not sitting around the kitchen table so they can't just blurt out anything, especially around me as I am a manager and have to set the example.
UGA was a trip though. Now at the time, AA made up about 2000 of the 30k student body. It did not feel like we were so outnumbered because we were concentrated together. Most of that 2000 were in the 12K that were undergrads – the rest of the students were graduate students. There were 4 floors in the dorm I stayed in and on my floor alone there were 10 AA. A lot of our entertainment centered around the AA frats & sororities and quite a few of the athletes were AA. So really we had about the same amount of AA students that totalled the entire AU center in ATL. Nevertheless, there were times when I was the only AA in a class, especially once I got into my major courses. My last 2 roommates were caucasian. One I am extremely good friends with to this day. She is a great person and very progressive-minded. I felt so bad a few times because when a bunch of my AA friends would come over they would blurt out racially sensitive things and I would have to remind them that Beth was in the room & could hear. She was cool – she never said anything about it. I still did not like it and apologized.

I'm comfused Raqi You say you are black but you check another box… and later you say "but you're black so it's ok" Well dog on it, what is you if you are black but check another box???

Back in 2000, I dated one my cousin's housemates from college who happened to be Chinese and Portuguese – one of the most "eye-opening" experiences of my life.
1. Racism is alive and well! We left a few restaurants in Tallahassee b/c she or I didn't feel comfortable with all the looks we were getting – by the way, I'm black.
2. I found my extended family is racist, as well. My second cousin gave me word that some of our aunts and uncles didn't want me to bring "her" around.
3. The "teasing" I would get from my friends and family that I was done with black women.
4. Confirmed the stereotype that black women tend to be more drama-filled than some of the other races of women. Some it is understandable and acceptable, some of it is not.
And yes, Asian women are "definitely" subservient to their men! Black women, you could learn a thing or two from them…I'm just sayin'
Everything mentioned above is off-topic.
On-topic, we really respected each others culture and background and really embraced what made us different. No probs.

I think he finally got the point that I was trying to make but it came close did u get what he was saying too.There is no need for anybody to defend a whole race if its the truth.We all tend to look inwards waaaay too much smetimes!
Why do the Black Men grab their crotch?
Can u provide me with an answer for that one.As an african man,i dont know either and have never asked altho it always looked weird to me.
Why do Black Women always look so mean? i have never observed it to be so but now that u say it,in some cases it looks true.I think its the fact that most black males….actually i dont know.Is that a true statement Dan.
I hear a lot of ignorance on africa myself,a lot of it, i blamed on kunta kinte movie series.But with kids in american day care,middle and high school now, i know why.There is nothing out there of substance that schol black kids can reference to if they want to learn about the continent and their connection to it.Where are the black historians?? When i hear an honestly ignorant comment, I take the opportunity to labor the offender with factual info.All I can do.

I remember I had to take a diversity class at a major company I worked for. It was deep. It really exposed a lot of racial feelings that a lot of people thought they had gotten past that they had not. Things actually got a little heated.
I remember in the group I was in we were having a Q & A session. A caucasian asked me why is that some AA's think that they are entitled to everything and want handouts. I told her I didn't know, because everyone I knew worked hard for what they had. I looked her dead in the eye as I said it. She looked crazy.

For the first question, there are two answers that are appropriate:
"Because we're trying to make sure it's still there" and "It's all we got that we own" — Richard Pryor
Really, I don't know any reason other than comfort (for me) so I couldn't speak to it.
The second question is a little trickier, Black women don't look angry, they look like they are serious (sometimes too serious) in most cases. It's not anger, it's concentration. There's a lot going on in there (head/heart) and depending on when you see her, she's in her own world.
And ignorance can be defined as a lack of information, so you're doing the right thing to try and educate people Melo. That's all you can do, and hope that it's enough.

I think Raqi's saying that she acknowledges the other part of her heritage. No one in my family checks just one box on that application. But like most people of "mixed" race, you identify yourself with what you are acculturated with.
March 26th, 2009
9:56 am
Dan – You explained the anger vs serious look very eloquently. People have told me when they see me from a distance when I'm out I look "mean". Not mean, just serious and concentrating on what I'm doing! They know if I see them I'm all smiles!
March 26th, 2009

Let's try this again…
"I did ask her what beat she heard when dancing"
Dan — LMWAO! Um, yeah… my people, we don't dance so good….
But seriously, let me address my people's dancing deficiencies. It's not that we all completely lack rhythm (okay, some of us do), but for whatever reason, white people have an unnatural fear of looking ridiculous. So much so that we tense up like a straight dude at prostate exam when it comes time to hit the dance floor. Ironically, because we're so tense & nervous we end up looking even more ridiculous. That's why I don't even attempt to dance unless I've have at least a couple of stiff drinks. At least then I don't care that I look stupid…
March 26th, 2009

And yes, Asian women are "definitely" subservient to their men! Black women, you could learn a thing or two from them…I'm just sayin'
- maybe….we all could learn a lil more not just black women. Problem is US the men…we take anything or will suffer thru a lackluster women because she has a fat azz or some other body part that makes the thirsty aggin buck there eyes….folks will only mess with you when dating outside the box when they feel its not geniune or you just trying it out because you keep getting killed by your own race…thats why you got the flack…but if you have been know to spit at the exotic or white chick then i would have been no problem…for me i am dating who i like middle fanga to all those that dont like it
@ny…i would say keep one eye open on the current dude…he playing that role real good…and your natural instincts of change and nuturing are taking over….just pump ya brakes some…..iamjustsaying….oo and this is my advice

What I am saying is when I was born there was a race printed on my birth certificate. But my parents did not raise me saying "you are of XYZ race". 75% of the kids in my neighborhood had the same skin color and some lighter than mine. I grew up with those "like me". We all looked pretty much the same and we all grew to act the same and speak the same. It's all I knew and I loved it. I love it today. When I got older I then got knowledge that what I am and what my birth cert says that I am don't match. However that didn't change what is in my heart. But as I grew and ventured out in this mad mean world I was met with the occasions where I had to check or write out what is on my bc for legal reasons. And because of that, in instances like here at work, some people will not cut me the slack that I was given among my peers while growing up. I cannot say black women are XYZ despite the fact I am including myself as in the XYZ. I can't use the same playful however harmless slurs around just anybody as I did before.
I found out the hard way. A lady that used to work here tried to have me written up for saying "ninja please". I thought nothing of it when I said it because it has never been a problem. Needless to say nothing ever became of it because I had several AA men and women speak on my behalf that I meant nothing of it just like they don't mean anything when they say it. Because I am black just like them.

Good morning everyone.
Raqi said another box is checked on her birth certificate. Her parents checked the box not her.
I've never dated outside my race, but not opposed to it.
I've never used the "N" word a day in my life.
I didn't fall out the bed last night. Life is good!
March 26th, 2009

Rell – .folks will only mess with you when dating outside the box when they feel its not geniune or you just trying it out because you keep getting killed by your own race…
That may be true, I don't know. However, yes, I had my heart broken by a black female prior, but it didn't turn me off to them. It just so happened next chick was Chinese and there attributes fit my personality in some cases, much better than women of my race: private, patient, quiet..things like that.
All that being said, I love me some black women – very strong physically and mentally, passionate, and that hour-glass shape is to die for!

ATLTWEN…."And yes, Asian women are "definitely" subservient to their men! Black women, you could learn a thing or two from them…I'm just sayin'"….GTFOH! I am sub NOTHING to any human! Why are you supposed to be like a bloody child or some kind of slave? I mean that is the same thinking that slave masters had about slaves. Now that was wrong. But when we talk gender..it's ok! So a woman's happiness or her feelings do not matter huh? Again…GTFOH!
DAN…". It's not anger, it's concentration. There's a lot going on in there (head/heart) and depending on when you see her, she's in her own world." KUDOS Dan! So true.

Mornin Ya'll,
Never dated outside my race or religion. I considered it in the past, especially when I started getting approached by a few. I never felt the need to explore it beyond wondering…..My boyfriend dated outside his race and he states there is a difference tween AA women and Caucasians. To him….she seemed more eager to please, almost too eager…and he never felt like he got to know the real her. She said yes to mostly everything, even the dumb stuff he asked…just to see what her answer would be.
In the South, racism is alive and well…..especially in my family. When my cousin went off and married a white girl and brought her around the family for the 1st time…my racist uncles didn't make any excuses for thier crass, racist remarks in that girl's face. Her family ended up diswoning her and she later divorced my cousin and remarried another black man…who ain't worth a second blink!
As far as religion….I don't budge on that one…..if you don't believe in God and his son Jesus……keep it moving. I am not entertaining the thought of being Muslim, Budhhist, or anything else.
In the workplace, I have to watch my comments at times as well…I know what to not to say and to whom. And I will not entertain the likes of any fool who doesn't know what is/not appropriate to say around any race.

The Melo Well about Africa, there is plenty about real life in Africa, you just have to seek it out. In school they don't focus much on Africa period whether it be about 200-300 years ago or Africa today… but the book stores and libraries have many books with many perspectives on Africa.
The problem is that folks don't actively seek out info on Africa, and there is very little media produced in Africa that makes it across the Oceans… another problem is the 1000's of languages and dialects spoken/written on the Continent, that makes it hard to get every story translated into English.
Also I will go one step further and say that until a people have their basic needs met safety from violence, sufficient food and clean water, etc… documenting history and making movies takes a back seat…
Instead of taking that trip to Cancun or Jamaica for the third time more Americans should visit Africa and see what its all about for ourselves and with the weak value of most African currency it turns out to be much cheaper.

explain please…because i have dated ALOT of asian women…i was either stationed or deployed to the far east and while yes they where subservant and real cool..they also where like any other women when they felt taken for granted…..so they are not the gold standard by far…the gold standard from my experience is simple cooperation and the willingness of two people to both view the importance of the relationship..no matter the color or creed of the women…this is 2009 right
To him….she seemed more eager to please, almost too eager…and he never felt like he got to know the real her. She said yes to mostly everything, even the dumb stuff he asked

@ Dan….I often get that "I look mean comment from guys" …I am always in thinking mode, so maybe that is it. I must admit that may they think we should smile 24/7…idk?
I am far from mean and can't stand to see someone get dismissed or dealt with in a rude way……like at the clubs, when a guy goes over to speak to a girl and she blows him off by waving her hand and walking off….That is so rude to me and I have never done that….even if he was "tow up from da flo up"! I say,' Thank you, but I am not interested.

Staceye,geeeerl,u GTFOH! Why does learning sme from somebody have to mean u are sub to them Learning also does not mean u have to adopt what u learn as yours.It just means u understand better about the other.For all we know,asian women may be subservient in some things but not in others…so we need to watch our perceived stereotypes of other pple.

OK I am confused…one minute Black women are praised for being strong mentally and physically…but in the same breath our strength is a negative! Wat di rass….
And please do nto come with the knowing when to crap. This is not Texas hold…know when to fold them. If I am strong woman today…newsflash…I'll still be one tomorrow! Why is it that the woman is the one who is supposed to play the bloody ego chameleon? If I have to lower myself to may a guy feel better about himself that speaks loudly about his lack of manhood. Why is he so threatened by a woman who will not play the damsel in distress? Ok if there is somethign I can not do then that is when I will ask for help. But what is the point of playing games of, "oh I can't do this….help me" when if this man was not around I'd do it anyway. I am no longer a kid…games do not amuse me. So if you claim to a "Real Man" then my strenth should be a catalsyt…or that push that will alwasy keep you on your toes and aspire to be better…not get complacent because nobody is challenging. That to me is a lazy boy in a grown man's body. Now take off your Under-Roos and put on your big boys draws and man up.

Rell – Maybe he just wanted someone with more backbone, not a "yes" woman. Remember that chick that Eddie Murphy's parents had arranged for him to marry on Coming to America? Might seem fun at first, but I imagine it gets old. So no, he didn't feel he was "winning".

Their lives dpends on so much because they can be killed for anything. She gets raped and they blame her and so no "shame" comes to the family…the do a "honor killing".

Maybe its just me.. but I am an African American dude… and I see African American women who look mean all the time… there is a difference between a person who has a look of determination and focus, and a person who just looks plain mean and angry.
On another note… I think a lot of African Americans folks especially older folks and I hate to say it but I can find no other words for it, but our country/rural cousins who don't interact often with people of thoer races have a feeling that we ( the minority) can say whatever we want about folks of European descent and its ok. I won't go as far as to say reversed racism, but if you are african american and you take a date of another race around family you are likely to hear some crude comments or jokes.
I am somewhat lucky to have 2 uncles (actually they are my mother's uncles so I don't know what that makes them 2nd uncles???)who married women of other races back in the 60's and 70's so I think my family has gotten past that, and the folks in my family of different races are treated just like everybody else.

@ Rell…"whats wrong with a women playing her natural beta role to your alpha…some men are so use to losing they cant tell when they are winning!!!
Come on, now you know ain't nothing natural about not being true to yourself. If he told to jump around on one foot and bark like a dog….crazy heffa probably would have done that, too. No relationship that causes one to lose their own sense of self will ever thrive. Eventually, he or she would get tired of the charades and their true character and personality would come forth.
But heck, I am glad he recognized that or else he wouldn't have such as Well-Rounded, Motivated, Honest, & Fine person such as MYSELF!!!!

It is my opinion that the Black Women (and Men) look mean stereotype comes from movies and the media. For the longest time, when we were portrayed (if at all) it was as shuckin'-and-jivin'-yessuh'in'-yesmam'in' slaves and minstrels and mammies and comedians.
Other folk came to expect that all of us were that way.
At least that the view from MY window on the world.

It's the Damacles sword – darned if you do, darned if you don't
There's nothing wrong with being a strong woman, there's nothing wrong when you're in that "world", but for me, my problem comes when I see a woman that may acknowledge my physical prescence, but it goes no further.
I can dig it that you're busy- get that money; but there are times and circumstances where the concentration on that subject shuts out the rest of the world (for men and women). My thing is nothing is that serious.
Admittedly a guy will "snap to" when he sees a nice looking woman, but women don't do it as often. When they do, you can feel the compliment; when they don't, it can feel like a dis.
That said, when you out at the club with the party dress on, you're there to relax, so the mean mugg in those situations are just unnecessary.

EastPoint I was watching a comedian on television once. I had seen him a few times. He is married to a black woman. The comedian that was on before him was black and he made all kinds of racial jokes about white people and the ever popular "ninja". The audience was probably 95% black and the crowd laughed hysterically at the black man jokes. Then white guy came out, guess who all of his jokes were centered around? White folks. The only references he made to blacks is how goofy he looks standing beside his beautiful black wife and how he falls short to how the black can please a black woman. He knew he better not say anything other than that.
What's okay for one is not okay for all.

EPO – Have you had any positive experiences with AA women? Remember this is what I asked you about the other day – an abundance of the negetive, but very little positive from you. And like I've said before, if you're meeting up with the same negetive kind all the time, might be time to look at self. I mean, if you set out looking for the negetive stereotype all the time, you are sure to find it! Just a thought!

This fantastic, yet easy, meal combines layers of flavor into one incredible pasta dish. Though it may seem strange at first, egg-topped anything is quite the culinary rage these days for good reason -- the soft yolk melds right into the sauce to create a rich and silky texture. Tender asparagus and salty pancetta round out the dish, making this weeknight meal anything but boring. If the kids seem a bit hesitant to eat their pasta this way, you could always serve the egg on the side, but I think they might find it so interesting that they're willing to give it a go. And as a bonus, the egg hides the veggies underneath!
Bring a large pot of well-salted (with 1 tablespoon of salt) water to a boil.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to crisp and fat is rendered. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove pancetta and garlic from the pan with a slotted spoon. Drain some fat if necessary, reserving about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the pan.
Crack eggs into the pan and fry in the fat, sunny side up (do not flip). Remove to a plate when the white is firm throughout, but the yolk is still runny, which should take 2-3 minutes. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Turn off heat under the pan.
When the water boils, add the asparagus and pasta. When the water returns to a boil, begin timing. It should take about 3 minutes, or as long as the package directs. Drain pasta and asparagus, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
Turn on heat under the non-stick pan to medium-low (it will still have some bacon fat in it). Add the cream and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the drained pasta and asparagus and the reserved cooking liquid and toss well to coat evenly. Add the pancetta/garlic mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well. Place a good portion on 4 plates, and top with shaved parmesan cheese and reserved fried eggs. Serve immediately.

Basic Policy on Hiring and Employment
The Yamaha Group respect human rights in hiring and employment and work to maintain fair hiring practices and provide employment opportunities to a diverse range of people. For example, information relating to the Company's hiring and employment practices and opportunities is aired openly and publicly through the Internet. Yamaha regularly recruits university graduates and it is possible for graduates to enter the Company with less than one year's work experience. We also actively employ people with disabilities, foreign workers and the elderly. We also observe employment and labors laws in the countries where we do business and conduct appropriate labor management based on labor practices and labor-management relations. Employee evaluations and conditions are decided based on fair rules that take into consideration individual work execution capabilities and the responsibilities and results of work.

Promoting employment of foreign employees
Yamaha Corporation had 64 foreign employees on its books as of March 1, 2013. In order to enhance the role of diverse personnel regardless of nationality, we set employment targets for foreign employees that have newly graduated university and provide information on our employment related website in English.
Utilizing the Senior Partner System
Yamaha Corporation instituted an employment extension program in April 2004 called the Senior Partner System that provides willing employees with the opportunity to work beyond age 60, the normal retirement age. There were 223 people working under the system as of the end of March 2013. The system allows us to effectively utilize personnel with a wealth of operational knowledge, skills and experience, while it enables younger employees to receive instruction and training as well as leads to more active participation in society post-retirement and more motivation in life. Group companies have also established similar programs in an effort to provide employment to people beyond the normal retirement age.
In order to make more extensive use of this system, Yamaha Corporation revised the process and conditions in fiscal 2008, holding interviews with applicants early on and preferential reemployment in the place where one is working at the time of retirement. Also, Yamaha is providing work to all applicants arriving at the retirement age in fiscal 2013 based on the Revised Law concerning Stabilization of Employment of Older Persons enacted in April 2013.
Employing People with Disabilities
Yamaha Corporation established a special subsidiary*1 in 1989, Yamaha Ai Works Co., Ltd. Yamaha Ai Works offers opportunities in general office work including data input, enclosing and sealing envelopes as well as printing together with administrative tasks relating to employee benefit programs. In this manner, the company is promoting employment for people with disabilities as well as the development of conducive working conditions. As of March 1, 2013, 87 people with disabilities were employed at Yamaha Corporation and Yamaha Ai Works combined. Of this number, 37 were assigned to Yamaha Ai Works.The employment rate has hovered around 2% since fiscal 2009, achieving standards set for April 2013 and beyond in the Act on Employment Promotion etc. of Persons with Disabilities. A specialist manager in charge of employment for people with disabilities is assigned to Yamaha Corporation's Personnel Division and a system has been established to expand occupational fields, including at group companies, and support the promotion of employment. In order to encourage the employment of people with disabilities in society at large, Yamaha provides workplace tours and accepts apprenticeships while also dispatching instructors to workshops as qualified consultants on occupational life for those with disabilities.
- *1 Subsidiaries recognized under the Act for Employment Promotion, etc. of Persons with Disabilities. Special subsidiaries must meet certain criteria in connection with the number and ratio of employees with disabilities. People with disabilities employed by such subsidiaries are counted as employees of the parent company when calculating its employment ratio.

THE BENEFITS OF BEING A McNAIR SCHOLAR
Opportunities to Engage in Faculty-Guided Research
One of the most exciting aspects of the McNair Program is the opportunity for Scholars to engage in ten weeks of summer research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. To prepare for the research experience, McNair Scholars attend a pre-research seminar conducted by graduate student mentors who are active researchers. The seminar provides Scholars with an overview of the research process from design through implementation and offers guidance on selecting a suitable faculty research mentor. During the summer research internship, McNair Scholars receive a $3,000 stipend and a $300 supply allowance. McNair Scholars attend national conferences where they make formal presentations of their research to faculty and peers.
Tuition Assistance
McNair Scholars with financial need receive (undergraduate) tuition awards during their tenure in the Program at Indiana University.
Preparation for Graduate School
During the summer between the junior and senior years, McNair Scholars participate in a multi-day senior camp that focuses on the graduate school application process, types of financial aid available to graduate students, and survival skills for graduate study. At the camp, students attend workshops that offer assistance in writing fellowship proposals and essential portions of the graduate school application, such as the personal statement and academic resume. Scholars also participate in a summer eight-week GRE (Graduate Record Exam) preparation course and receive one free GRE General Exam or subject test. Senior scholars receive funding to visit their top choice graduate schools to talk with faculty and graduate students. Over 300 colleges and universities across the country waive graduate school application fees (ranging from $45-$75 per application) for McNair Scholars. Additionally, many schools offer multi-year fellowships for McNair Scholars who are accepted to their graduate programs.
Who Qualifies For the McNair Scholars Program?
Eligible candidates for the McNair Scholars Program are:
- Full-time students at Indiana University Bloomington who have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75; competitive applicants for the program should have a 3.0 or above. The cumulative GPA of the current McNair Scholars is 3.51.
- U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States
- Either a first generation college student (neither parent has received a four-year bachelor's degree) of any ethnic background who has a low-income level as established by the U.S. Department of Education; or a member of a group that is underrepresented in graduate education as defined by the U.S. Department of Education (Black (non-Hispanic), African American, Hispanic, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, and Native American Pacific Islanders.)
- Students who have a serious interest in pursuing research-intensive graduate study leading to a Ph.D., Ed.D., or D.S.W. This does not include students who wish to pursue professional degrees such as law (J.D.), medicine (M.D.), dentistry (D.D.S.), optometry (O.D.), MFA degrees in Fine Arts or Creative Writing, nor students wanting to pursue the M.B.A. in Business.

November 12, 2012 - 12:50 PM ET
By David Jonas
The European Union won't implement its controversial
aviation Emissions Trading Scheme for flights originating from or departing to
non-EU countries, according to the EU's climate commissioner. Instead, the
European Union is providing "a window of opportunity" for the
creation of a global system developed through the International Civil Aviation
Organization. ETS automatically would once again cover all flights to and from
non-European countries should no global deal be in place following ICAO's
general assembly in autumn 2013. Internal EU flights will continue to be
included in ETS, regardless of whether the operating airline is from within or
outside the European Union.
ETS requires airlines to purchase permits should they
exceed predetermined annual emissions quotas.
Connie Hedegaard, the EC member in charge of climate action,
told journalists during a Monday press briefing that the proposal, which sprang
from "encouraging" dialogue at last week's ICAO meeting, has been
discussed with the 27 EU member states with the intention for it to be
finalized and implemented "very, very soon."
"Nobody wants an international framework on aviation
more than we do," Hedegaard said. "Now it seems that because of some
countries' dislike of our scheme, many of these countries are now prepared to
move in ICAO and even to move toward a market-based mechanism at a global
level." Hedegaard said the recent ICAO meeting produced an agreement to
establish "a high-level policy group" to tackle aviation emissions.
"Finally we have a chance to get an international
regulation on emissions from aviation," Hedegaard said. "This is
indeed progress. A lot of tough negotiations lie ahead of us. Now the time for
talking and positioning is over, and it is time to pave the way for strong
decisions to be taken at the next ICAO general assembly."
According to an EC statement, "the EU will stop the
clock on the implementation of the international aspects of its ETS aviation
[program] by deferring the obligation to surrender emissions allowances from
air traffic to and from the EU by one year. This means that the EU would not
require allowances to be surrendered in April 2013 for emissions from such
flights during the whole of 2012. The monitoring and reporting obligations will
also be deferred for such flights. The obligations relating to all operators'
activities within EU will remain intact and compliance with the EU law will be
enforced in this respect." EC described the decision to suspend
implementation for incoming and outgoing flights as "a gesture of good
Hedegaard said that while there are "no
guarantees," recent developments have been encouraging. "More
countries understand why we should try to get the international framework
around these things and why global and regional-based market mechanisms make
sense," she said. She specifically referred to a U.S. Senate decision that
"encourages their government to pursue an international deal. There are
many good forces that understand why it makes sense now really to invest in
According to a statement issued by Jason Anderson, head of
European climate and energy policy at the World Wide Fund for Nature's European
Policy Office, "The Commission's move on aviation in the ETS buys some
time for ICAO, who were arguably galvanized into action by the EU in the first
place after years of foot-dragging on this issue. Now it's up to other
countries who have been opposing action on tackling the climate impacts of
aviation, especially the United States, to show that they are serious about
pushing for a global solution."
The European Union ETS in early 2012 prompted several
airlines to raise fares or apply surcharges to offset the costs they said they
would incur. They included Lufthansa, Ryanair and South African Airways. A fare
hike instituted by Delta Air Lines and joint venture partners Air France-KLM
and Alitalia during the first week of 2012 also was attributed to ETS.
The average daily hotel rate paid by Hogg Robinson Group clients during the first half of 2014 declined year over year in most global regions, but ADR in local currency terms increased in 31 of its top 50 markets, according to the travel management company's Interim Hotel Survey, released Tuesday.

Los Angeles - American Express Global Business Travel president and CEO Bill Glenn took the stage here last month during the Global Business Travel Association's annual convention.

Warman recently spoke with Business Travel News senior editor Michael B. Baker about the company's goals for North America as well as its moves into the resort and lifestyle hotel space.

handled sales for Delta. In the United States, Delta is taking the sales lead
for all those carriers. BTN contributing editor Amon Cohen spoke to Frank

The National Debate survives copyright complaint
Dan Gillmor reports that the New York Times has decided not to play the heavy over The National Debate's NYT Corrections page.
It seems The National Debate offered "corrections" to NYT op eds, in a format that looked much like the Gray Lady's own. NYT sent a DMCA takedown demand to TND's ISP, claiming copyright infringement. As befits a news organization, the Times has conceded that TND had a right to parody their style, so long as it didn't confuse readers. Interestingly, the underlying complaint actually sounds more in trademark — the NYT didn't want readers confused about the source of these "corrections," and trademark law protects against consumer confusion — but NYT, like others we've seen, used copyright claims because the DMCA gives quick takedown process. I'm glad to see this resolved in a legally reasonable manner.

Can angina be prevented?
The risk for atherosclerotic heart disease can be minimized by preventive medicine. Exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking will decrease the likely of developing atherosclerotic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
A patient should never smoke but heart attack risk begins to decrease shortly after they stop.
Lifelong screening and controlling high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, and diabetes will minimize the risk of developing heart disease but that risk does not become zero.
Understanding that not all angina is chest pain may help a patient present to a health care professional so that an early diagnosis may be made. Listening to your body is key to living a long, healthy, and productive life.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - A House Republican from northeast Wisconsin calls the federal government shutdown embarrassing and harmful.
Reid Ribble of Sherwood said a shutdown is not the correct strategy to hold up Obamacare. In his words, "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Still, Ribble refused to stray from the GOP by voting twice since Monday night to include a one-year delay of most parts of the Affordable Health Care act, in exchange for keeping the government running on this first day of the government's new fiscal year.
Majority Democrats in the Senate have rejected the same measure four times since last Friday. Their latest vote came Tuesday morning, when Democrats refused to name negotiators to strike a deal -- a request House Republicans made around midnight.
House GOP Budget Chairman Paul Ryan of Janesville defended his party's strategy. He said businesses and Congress itself were given more time to implement Obamacare -- and the purchasing exchanges for uninsured Americans should get the same delay.
Milwaukee House Democrat Gwen Moore says that's no excuse to cut off much-needed funding to feed poor children. She said one of the shutdown's first targets is the Women, Infants, and Children food aid program and small business loans.
Moore said it was "childish" to cut off those funds -- and it would send shock waves throughout the economy.

The JCMA has commissioned a public sculpture to be installed on the Museum grounds by the opening of Fall classes, 2014. Artist Roberto Lugo is at work on an oversized Greek- and Renaissance-inspired multi-faceted ceramic vase, with a glazed surface decoration incorporating motifs from the interior of Carnegie Hall.
Curator Jennifer Streb was awarded a Short Term Fellowship at the Winterthur Museum Garden & Library. While in residence at Winterthur, Dr. Streb will continue her fall 2013 sabbatical research on the JCMA's collection of portrait miniatures. She and Juniata chemistry professor Richard Hark are working on an exhibition titled The Art & Science of Portrait Miniatures, which is scheduled to open at the JCMA in September 2015. For more information on the work Drs. Streb and Hark are doing please click here.
We are very pleased that Roy Young, Curator of Education at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Fallingwater in southern PA, is teaching a course in Museum and Community Partnering for Juniata College during the Fall semester, 2013, and ongoing. In the course, students learn to identify a unique quality or attribute of the Museum's Collection and combine this with a need in the Huntingdon community, to create an equitable partnership with a local organization.
"Minna Citron: The Uncharted Course from Realism to Abstraction", an exhibition developed by JCMA curator Jennifer Streb in collaboration with the artist's granddaughter, Christiane H. Citron, continues its tour around the country. View the full list of dates and locations.
The Juniata Museum of Art recieved a 2011 Heritage Preservation Grant that will allow the museum to participate in the Conservation Assessment Program (CAP). JCMA is 1 of 101 recipients of the grant nationwide and 1 of 5 in the state of Pennsylvania. The grant covers the cost of a General Collection and Conservation Assessment conducted by a highly trained and experienced conservator. The assessment covers storage and exhibition conditions, the museum environment, fabrication and condition of housing collections and policies and procedures concerning the use of collections. The CAP will help guide the museum in its continued quest to implement best practices in the field, as well as improve its stewardship over the collection, preserving it for many future generations. The grant also covers the cost of an assessment of Carnegie Hall by a historic preservation specialist, as the condition of the building, and the collections housed within, are interrelated.
Heritage Preservation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of the United States. By identifying risks, developing innovative programs, and providing broad public access to expert advice, Heritage Preservation assists museums, libraries, archives, and other organizations in caring for our endangered heritage.

Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, John Tavares, Jay Bouwmeester, Dion Phaneuf and Cam Ward highlight the first wave who have accepted an invitation to next month's IIHF World Hockey Championship.
"That's a pretty good list," Phaneuf said Monday.
The event represents Canada's last chance to improve its world ranking from fourth ahead of the Sochi Olympics. Once the world championships wrap up, the groupings for the 2014 Games will be set -- and Hockey Canada desperately wants to improve its current placing.
The country slipped down the world list after crashing out of the tournament in the quarter-finals the last two years.
General manager Kevin Lowe has assembled an experienced, talent-laden lineup that includes four 30-goal scorers this year: Perry, Tavares, Jordan Eberle and Evander Kane.
Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla was asked to play in the tournament but declined the invitation.
While the position of head coach has yet to be named, the coaching staff is starting to take shape.
Carolina Hurricanes head coach Kirk Muller and Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Guy Boucher have accepted roles as assistant coaches.
The head coach is expected to be announced this week with Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff the leading candidate.
The tournament begins May 4 in Finland and Sweden.

NICHCY's Structured Abstract 61 describes the following:
Title | A Meta-Analysis of Interventions to Decrease Disruptive Classroom Behavior in Public Education Settings
Authors | Stage, S.A., & Quiroz, D.R.
Source | School Psychology Review, 26(3), 333-68.
Year Published | 1997
Describes a meta-analysis* of 99 studies that used interventions to decrease disruptive classroom behavior in public education settings. Overall, results indicate interventions yield comparable results to other studies investigating effectiveness of psychotherapy. Findings show that efficacious treatments used in public school settings decrease disruptive classroom behaviors.
Students who frequently display disruptive behavior during elementary school are at increased risk for serious emotional and behavioral disorders in the future. School psychologists are often consulted about which interventions are most effective for children with disruptive behavior.
This meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of some of the most commonly used interventions for disruptive behavior, including:
- Behavioral Interventions, such as token economies, timeout, over-correction, differential reinforcement*, response-cost procedures, group contingencies*, home-based contingencies, stimulus cueing, and self-management interventions.*
- Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions*, such as anger control programs, affective imagery, self-instructional training programs, and social problem-solving interventions.
- Individual Counseling with individual therapists or school personnel who have been trained in counseling techniques.
- Parent Training, where the child's parents are taught how to use strategies such as differential reinforcement, compliance training, or timeout.
Research Questions
This study compared the effectiveness of behavioral interventions in managing disruptive classroom behavior in public education settings.
Research Design
- Number of Studies Included | 99
- Number of Subjects | 5,057
- Years Spanned | 1967-1995
Research Subjects
5,057. From the studies that reported demographic information: 615 students were female; 910 were male.
Age/Grade of Subjects
4-18 years old
Specified Disability
AD/HD, Serious Emotional Disorders, Learning Disabilities, and Mental Retardation.
To be included in the study, participants had to have received treatment to reduce disruptive classroom behavior. Treatments were grouped into 16 categories: token economies or point systems, differential reinforcement, response cost, group contingencies, teacher approval or disapproval, peer management, noncontingent exercise programs, home-based contingencies, functional assessments, self-management interventions, stimulus-cue interventions, punishment, cognitive-behavioral interventions, parent-training, parent-child communication training, or individual counseling.
Duration of Intervention
- Group contingencies*, self-management strategies*, and differential reinforcement were significantly more effective in reducing disruptive classroom behavior than cognitive-behavioral interventions.
- There was no specific type of behavioral consequence that was more effective than another.
- Students with emotional disturbance were more responsive to interventions than students with oppositional defiant or conduct disorder;
- Interventions were more successful in self-contained classrooms.
Combined Effects Size
A total of 223 effect sizes yielded a mean effect size of -.78, indicating that, on average, 78% of treated students reduced their disruptive behavior compared to untreated students.
The conclusion that emerges from this meta-analysis is that behavioral interventions more effectively reduce disruptive behavior than do cognitive behavioral interventions. The most effective behavioral interventions appear to be:
- Group contingencies—These are similar to token economies; however, in group contingencies, the group as a whole earns and receives the reinforcement.
- Self-management strategies—In these interventions, students learn to monitor and evaluate their own behavior and use self-reinforcement techniques.
- Differential reinforcement—In this approach, reinforcement is based on a predetermined low level or absence of disruptive behavior during a specified time period. As long as students experienced some form of consequence for their behavior, whether that consequence was positive, negative, or combined did not significantly change the outcome.
* Terms Defined
Cognitive-behavioral interventions (CBI) | CBI is a broad term that encompasses cognitive-behavioral modification (CBM) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It is a behavior modification approach that promotes self-control skills and reflective problem-solving strategies. Interventions combine elements of behavior therapy (modeling, feedback, reinforcement) with cognitive approaches (problem solving, self-monitoring, self-instruction, communication skill building, relaxation, and situational self-awareness training) to teach individuals to recognize difficult situations, think of possible solutions, and select the most appropriate response.
Differential reinforcement | In this approach, reinforcement is based on a predetermined low level or absence of disruptive behavior during a specified time period. Consequences for behavior may be positive, negative, or combined.
Effect size (ES or d) | A statistical calculation, often represented as ES or d, that measures the impact of an intervention. An effect size below d = 0.20 suggests that a treatment did not have a significant effect. An effect size of d = 0.20 is considered small or low; an effect size of d = 0.50 is considered moderate; an effect size of d = 0.80 or above is large.
Group contingencies | These are similar to token economies. However, in group contingencies, the group as a whole earns and receives the reinforcement.
Meta-analysis | A widely-used research method in which (1) a systematic and reproducible search strategy is used to find as many studies as possible that address a given topic; (2) clear criterion are presented for inclusion/exclusion of individual studies into a larger analysis; and (3) results of included studies are statistically combined to determine an overall effect (effect size) of one variable on another.
Self-management interventions | In these interventions, students learn to monitor and evaluate their own behavior and use self-reinforcement techniques.
Self-management strategies | Students learn ways (strategies) to monitor and evaluate their own behavior and use self-reinforcement techniques.

Brendan Wright and Cole Aldrich are names I like at a small price
Posted 07/07/2013 5:14 PM
I think Brendan Wright would be a nice pickup. As would, Joel, given that his family lives here, and he has always said he wanted to retire a Blazer, I would bring him in. I know these guys aren't coaches, but who better for Leonard to watch in practice for setting screens and being a rim protector than Pryzbilla?
Posted 07/07/2013 5:30 PM
Posted 07/07/2013 7:28 PM
Joel's relatives and wife are from Wisconsin, he was drafted by the Bucks and has a home there. His kids grew up in Portland and he has a lot of friends here. I love Pryz but only want him here as a big man coach, not taking a roster spot. He just can't run on the NBA level anymore. I watched him early last season with the Bucks and it's sad to see him shuffling down court. Time to coach for Pryz for the reasons you want him helping young centers learn the game. Jared Jeffries, Ronny Turiaf, Jemaine O'Neil are all better options at the last roster spot than Joel.
Posted 07/07/2013 9:28 PM
Posted 07/08/2013 1:51 AM
Who knows what Olshey is thinking of doing. Right now I can't see another big filling up the last roster spot with having 5 bigs already. I don't think that we'll give up on Freeland after only 1 season. And I think he'll be better this year. I'm guessing right now EWill is holding the last spot. But I can't remember ever letting Babbitt go, did we? Was he an unrestricted FA?
Posted 07/08/2013 9:30 AM
Jermaine O'Neal that is my answer as most of You. It will be nice to see him back in Blazers
Posted 07/08/2013 9:47 AM
Posted 07/08/2013 12:36 PM
Ok, just to be clear, Joel's last name is spelled PRZYBILLA. The "Z" before the "Y". Thanks!
I'm always gonna have a spot in my heart for Joel, but he absolutely should NOT be pursued for a spot on our bench. The game has passed him by, and I think he deserves to be remembered in Portland for all his production in the past, not for falling apart a few minutes a game as our 3rd string C. It would be cool to get him on staff as a big-man coach, but even for that spot, there are alot of guys out there that would be way better at the role than Joel would likely be. And like River said, his family lives in Wisconsin.
Like everyone else seems to be saying, I feel like Jermaine Oneal would be an ideal 3rd Center for our roster this year, so it is a little strange that we're not openly pursuing him, even after he expressed interest. Who knows though, maybe Olshey is pulling a sneaker.
Someone else I thought of that no one has brought up though: Marcus Camby. He was traded from the Knicks for Bargnani, and was instantly vocal about not being happy with the move. As far as I know, he still has fond views of Portland, and he was one of the best rebounders and defenders in recent history despite being underweight compared to other Centers (before Howard hit his prime, Camby was the #1 defensive C 3 out of 4 years). Plus, Camby has a great attitude about helping young players develop, much like what Earl Watson brings to our guards.
If Oneal isn't coming back to Portland, I think Marcus Camby would suit our needs and would be a huge benefit to Meyers Leonard, maybe even to Robin Lopez as well. Could we get him for what we have left? I know our cap is gone, but don't we still have our mid-level exception? Would that be enough to bring Camby back to Portland?
