On a cold December day last year, eight-year-old Hennessy came to us limping and suffering from multiple untreated conditions. In January our veterinarians repaired her torn ACL and gave her other treatment she needed. Almost two months after arriving at the ASPCA, Hennessy was ready for adoption.
But though she's one of the world's most loyal, sweet-natured and easy-to-care-for dogs, Hennessy has been waiting almost 10 months to find a home. She needs to be an only dog and she takes two medications (though they're inexpensive and she takes them so nicely!), and that means lots of people pass her by without noticing how great she is.
How great, you ask? Hennessy's biggest fan at the Adoption Center, Behavior Department Manager Marny Nofi, says Hennessy is housetrained, smart, quick to bond, and very eager to please. And while she has some pep in her step, she's a fairly low-key dog who loves to lounge around with something good to chew on—perfect for city, country or suburban life.
Like most adopters, Marny didn't notice Hennessy's particular charms at first—then she started working with her for our talent show.
"Right away, I knew she was special. In just two short sessions, she already was catching on to the tricks I was teaching her." Marny says. "You know she loves you back when she does her little dance when you go to see her: She'll hop around in a circle with a big goofy smile on her face."
"I expect she'll be a very polite and easy dog in the house," Marny tells us, adding, "How can you not get hooked on a dog that shouts 'I love you!' in her behavior every time you see her?"
We don't know, Marny! All Hennessy really wants is a family (teens and up without other dogs, please) and we know they're out there. We're hoping you'll help us find them.
This diamond in the rough needs a home, and she doesn't deserve to keep waiting. So start sharing, tweeting and emailing! It worked for Britney, Reina, Tammy, Spruce and many other ASPCA pets. Let's make it work for Hennessy!

Shoes, glorious shoes! They can be the finishing touch on a fashionable outfit, athletic performance enhancement or just protection for your precious toes. You don't need to be Imelda Marcos to be a footwear fashionista. All you really need in your closet is five great pairs:
The perfect pair of pumps : With heels high enough to flatter your foot and make your legs look longer, but not so high that you stumble while walking, a good pair of pumps is a must. You don't need to drop a wad on Manolos or Jimmy Choos, but make sure to invest in a well-made pair with simple yet elegant styling. You want something that's professional enough for a job interview or business meetings, and yet will effortlessly glide into an evening out. While you can't go wrong with basic black, a pair of red pumps will add a pop of color to any outfit. Or choose nude pumps which not only are the current style trend, but go with anything!
A pair of practical flats : Sometimes teetering around on heels isn't a good idea. Running errands, sightseeing or a lot of time spent standing begs for a smart alternative to pumps. Smart, however, doesn't have to mean unattractive. Whether it's a cute pair of Mary Janes or dainty ballet slippers, flats can look good as well as feel good!
Casual kicks : Sneakers, tennis shoes, cross-trainers: whatever you call 'em, this All-American footwear is a staple for a casual Saturday. Lace-up or slip-on, canvas or leather, lo-top or hi-top, Keds, Converse or Vans, these must-have shoes come in such a wide assortment of colors and styles that you could find a pair to match almost any outfit. Invest in a pair of white canvas and you have the added bonus of being able to toss them in the washer when they get dirty.
Some boss boots : Nancy Sinatra's were made for walkin', but the pair you choose should reflect your fashion sense and lifestyle. Keep it warm with a pair of cozy Uggs, unleash your inner cowgirl with a pair of Frye boots, go utilitarian with some Doc Martens or class it up with a pair of stiletto heeled designer boots. For the ultimate versatility, I recommend a cognac-colored pair in a mid-heeled equestrian style.
A pair of sassy sandals : Expose your toes and let them breathe! Come summer, nothing beats a pair of sandals, thongs or flip-flops for keeping you cool. Although white sandals are perfectly legitimate between Memorial and Labor Day, I'd suggest a simple style in a bronze metallic to offer the optimum fashionable functionality.
There you have it: the five essential pairs of shoes every girl's closet should contain.

The Greatness of Being Small
"If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are."
-Oprah Winfrey
I was once asked what it is like being famous. Without hesitation I replied, "It's a big responsibility." Now, I would argue whether I am really famous or not, but my role in baseball has put me in the spotlight. And it was the eve before I threw batting practice to the Rays that I came to one of my deepest realizations: It is not about how big we are – the beauty is in seeing how small we are.
Please let me explain. And I apologize in advance if at any point I sound like I am preaching. This blog post may have a hint of self-existential therapy :)
The evening before I threw to the Rays, I was in the hotel lobby, just finishing a Skype interview with a college class, and I came across a news article on Christina-Taylor Green. And at the end of the article, I was surprised to find a quote by me.
I felt such a sense of humility. This was a story about the Green family, about a national tragedy, and about a little girl – and I thought what am I doing in this story?
And at that moment I felt so small. And a peaceful feeling came over me. And that peace came from knowing I was part of something so much bigger than me. And I didn't feel insignificant: I felt a sense of meaning.
I think there is an idea that the bigger we are, the more famous we are, the more we do – that is when we become significant. But from my own experience, I don't think that's true. To me, the significance comes from seeing how small we are and yet knowing how beautiful it is to be a part of the big.
Today I was praised by a top college official for "all my good press." I smiled, thanked the person, and shared, "It was very humbling." It is humbling to know the Green family and to honor the memory of Christina-Taylor. It is humbling to represent the baseball dreams of so many girls and fans.
And it is humbling – and meaningful – to know that I am just a small part of what I see as our collective greatness and beauty.

Why Must the Church Engage in Scientific Discourse?
In this video conversation, Os Guinness addresses the question of why it is essential for Christians to engage in scientific discourse. Resistance, skepticism, and hostility to science are not biblical precepts, but views that originated from Christian movements that emerged in the 19th century.

Thursday, November 07, 2002GREENSBORO, N.C. (November 7, 2002) - East Tennessee State's women's soccer team ended their season Thursday night losing to the top seeded Furman Paladins 3-0, in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament in Greensboro, N.C. In the opening minutes of the first half, the Paladins scored on a shot by Andrea Morrison that was redirected by an ETSU player. Morrison continued to be a scoring threat nearly connecting minutes later, but a diving save by ETSU goalie Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) prevented the goal. Sanden kept the Buccaneers in the match. The junior goalkeeper registered nine saves on the night. Furman finally broke through against the ETSU net minder midway through the second half. Morrison scored in the 60th minute of play off of an Alice Martin assist. Furman struck again just eight minutes later as Melissa Vogel clinched the victory. Morrison picked up the assist. The Paladins out shot the Bucs, 20-6. Furman also held an advantage on corner kicks, 11-1. With the win, Furman moves to 14-5-1, while ETSU ends it season at 6-11-1. Furman advances to the semifinals where they will take on the winner of Davidson and UNC Greensboro.

Which is more important; level of education or years of experience?
Recently an institution I work with has adapted a "talent management" system of determining a person's pay scale, title, etc. Many people who have held a job for years may have their jobs "down-graded" due to lack of educational degrees even though they are top in their fields with 15 or more years of experience. In a talent management approach, which is more important; talent gained through education or talent gained through years of doing the job?
May 15 2013: It sounds ridiculous to me to try to measure talent by the way you got your skills instead of the skills themselves. On one hand a degree is the easiest and fastest way to prove you have the necessary skills for certain job, but on the other hand a degree may also say you are capable of something you forgot years ago. Indeed knowledge is a very important aspect of "talent", however a formal academic process is not the only way to achieve (quality) knowledge.
I think, doing your job effectively and efficiently is a whole lot more important than how you learned it.
May 16 2013: I completely agree and think you said it well, George QT! Education can open the gates to the opportunities but you have to be able to perform to stay on that level.
May 16 2013: Not only that, practice is what makes the master, people also learn by doing, which by the way is the new trend in college education.
Fritzie -
May 15 2013: Normally an institution does not want to alienate the high performing people. This sounds suspiciously like the leadership is trying to get rid of some people for another reason, and conveniently the people they want to get rid of do not have the particular degrees the new pay system identifies.
- +2
Kevin Young
May 15 2013: I find this to be heavily dependent on area of expertise. I could foresee that someone who relies heavily on knowledge gained through education for their profession could place a greater amount of value on their college degree then another. For instance, someone who probably is a teacher would place greater emphasis on where/how they were educated over how much experience they have teaching. (that is my impression at least)
- +2
In my chosen profession, education is seen as valuable but unable to cover 100% of everything (not even 25% for that matter). As an architect, there are so many things for us to learn and know through out our careers that it is impossible to learn all of it in school. As a result, most universities invest large amounts of time developing what we call the Schematic Design phase, or the part where we brain storm ideas and present them to clients. This part is important, but like I said, it doesn't even cover 25% of what we do. (Construction Document, Administration, etc.). On top of that, education can dodge more basic and essential office skills, like how to conduct yourself at meetings, interacting with clients and co-workers, etc. In fact, we can't even become licensed as architects until we've completed at least 3 years of actual work experience - there are things that you just don't learn in school that you learn in an office environment.
I know the same is true for lawyers and doctors (I come from a family of lawyers and doctors). I still believe my education was extremely valuable - but if I were to weigh to the two in comparison to each other for myself, I would place greater emphasis on experience. That being said, I always attempt to continue to educate myself - reading, lectures, etc. - because I don't want to lose the capability to learn and gain more knowledge.
May 15 2013: Kevin, this is a very good point. My husband is an architect who was lucky enough to grandfather into the NCARB testing through his years as a construction worker and then 15 years as an architect with a small firm. He may not have had a formal education but he was exposed to a variety of projects over the years and is now a well respected licensed architect. This is my point. His work in construction has given him great insight into dealing with contractors. he has an excellent working relationship with them that includes mutual respect and his project seem to run a bit smoother due to this experience.
In my work as a financial aid officer for a large community college there really isn't a degree program to train you for this work. My degree is in Psychology. We have people with English degrees, History....Nothing that actually gives you what you need to process federal financial aid. Yet if we have a degree we could be paid more than someone with 20 years of experience in the federal financial aid field. How can this be justifiable?
As George QT remarked ...How can you measure talent by the way you got your skills rather than the skills themselves?
Kevin Young
May 15 2013: Agreed. And I've seen similar things, where people working in a field come from various backgrounds ranging from English to Psychology. It makes it seem like degrees are no longer geared towards achieving success in one field, but rather attempts to prepare us to be generalists across a broad spectrum so that we can employ ourselves in most professions.
- +2
The testing of architects for licensure is another issue I have, but that's something entirely different from this topic. Let's just say for now that I know or have met plenty of people who are amazing designers, know all the ins-and-outs of buildings, and have a vast knowledge that aren't licensed, and yet, they aren't allowed to practice architecture. Experience can out perform book smarts.May 17 2013: Neither is more important than the other. It depends on the task and the specific situation. Experience is very important; but education does no good if it does not enrich the individual to think outside the box.
May 18 2013: I agree Feyisayo. A person could spend a lifetime with formal education and not assimilate or apply informaion. A person could have a lifetime of wonderful experiences from which to learn, grow, evolve, and not assimilate or apply the information. It depends on the task, the situation, and HOW we use the information:>)May 16 2013: Hi Kathi,
I've noticed strange things happening with education and employment these days (in the Netherlands, where I live).
A friend of mine graduated from the music conservatory, with the equivalent of a Masters Degree in music, and a qualification to teach. He has been teaching for over 20 years at the same music school, but recently was told that his diploma was no longer sufficient. He was required to take extra courses for a 'new' diploma (paid for by his employer, thankfully).
So neither his experience, nor his education was sufficient for him to continue doing what he was doing! I thought it odd, almost like a money-making scheme... Since when are internationally-recognized diplomas suddenly no longer adequate?
In my personal situation, I am a self-taught professional. What I lack in education, I make up for in experience. In fact, I have learned more from hands-on experience than I could ever have learned in a classroom. Fortunately, I am able to perform my skill without the need for any papers. Perhaps, there is a difference in experience/education in creative professions, as opposed to technical/business/scientific professions?
May 18 2013: I think that the problem of teaching ourselves something is that we usually miss something, not every one misses something but it is really hard to not do it. I took guitar lessons when I was younger, I really loved guitar but I hated the "education system" so I just quit, and started to learn by myself, It was a great decision, I've learned so much over those 6 years teaching myself, but when I got into jazz band I could not keep it up with the songs and et cetera. Why? Because I missed something very important, musical theory, which I thought that was very boring, so even If I had a lot of experience, and played better than many of my peers, I did not have the same fast reaction to a piece of paper that had weird symbolism as they did. So I think that the fact that you are required to have a degree is to make sure that people do not miss stuff like I did.
May 18 2013: I couldn't agree more, Pablo.
I teach voice, and try to make music theory as fun as possible, which it truly can be!!! I guise my students in coming up with their up with voice exercises based on tonal scales, for example, which motivates them not only to practice, but to remember the theory!
Music theory is, besides music itself, the language musicians speak. You need to speak that language in order to communicate at a professional level, I agree.
As I said, I am self-taught, and found the motivation to learn theory on my own. I think if music theory were to be taught differently, more people would persist. I know too many potentially wonderful musicians who share your story, Pablo...
May 18 2013: Do you teach kids? If you teach kids I am glad to know that you are not letting them follow the same path that I did! many people see me just as a lazy kid, but the fact is that today I am trying to put my theory knowledge on the same level of my skills, something that I did not do before because the "magic" of musical theory was killed by a teacher who did not do his job very well (or he did, but not in a captivating way for me), and as a 9 years old kid, I just decided that I did not need that, and quit! After a year I started to play on my own pace and playing what I found interesting, and as I saw my progress I thought more and more that I really didn't need the "written stuff", but as soon as I started to play in group I noticed that the naive stereotype that I created in my head as a kid held me back for many many years.
Looking back to my bad experience, I think that teachers should innovate more, not just in the music section, but everywhere. They should ask what they students want to learn about instead of just going with a schedule that they programmed hundreds of years ago. I never enjoyed when the teacher told me that I had to play "Happy birthday", or "The Star Wars theme", I believe that everything is more interesting when you put a little bit of yourself in it and let people adapt to their taste.
That's why android platform is more successful than IOS (just kidding).
Anyway, I think if I had a teacher like you I would be a different musician today, make sure that your students never fall in the monotonicity gap!
Cheers, Pablo.May 20 2013: Pablo, I couldn't agree more!!
I just replied to your comment on another conversation, about storytelling, Actually, a good teacher is a good storyteller! Like you said, all a good presenter really needs is passion, and having passion for what you're teaching is in my opinion, perhaps even more important than the knowledge.
It is such a shame that your experience with music theory was so negative. It can truly be fun and exciting! I am working with a student now, who wants to write music. I can see by his excitement, when he understands how the theory can be put into practice, and how the song can come together! He takes the song we work on during the lessons to his band, who then write out the notes so they can play it together. It is immediately a successful situation, one everyone can participate in and enjoy!
Thank you so much for your kind words. But you have never lost your love for making music, regardless of whether you have the technical know-how or not! There are many many examples of well-known, even legendary musicians who can't read a single note. Does the name Chet Baker mean anything to you, for example? ;)May 15 2013: Years of experience may be indicative of education or how much you really know. However, education is not indicative of experience.
Education and experience together can mean the world to you. Each of them alone will help you gain the other.
Experience will tell you how important education is. Education will help you gain that experience.May 18 2013: Education is a very important measure used to determine a person's capability. But it is also very bad, because you will never really know how to do something until you start putting your hands on it and start doing it! Years of experience on the other hand are both literal and experience combined.
For example, I am a Brazilian, and I lived in Brazil for 15 years before I came to the U.S as an exchange student, but I took English classes since I was 5. I have a International degree (not a Bachelor's degree) in English, and scored 101 points out of 120 in a TOEFL exam. And as soon as I arrived in the U.S and started "living" the English language, I did not know how to use it, my accent was bad, I had to think for a while before I spoke. So what happened to all the knowledge that I acquired over all those years? I don't really know, it took me around 7 months to become fluent in English.
Could I have learned English without having all those years of education? Probably, but I also recognize that as soon as a put the pieces together (education and experience) it became a perfect gear box. And as I just told you, I did not really master the English language until I became experienced on it.
I believe that the major factor of determining someone's skill level should be the experience, because education is, at least on a foreign language section, just an aid to what is really going to matter.May 18 2013: what do'level of education and years of experience' for?May 17 2013: G'day Kathi
Seen as you said (or) I would say experience by far. Just the other day someone came up to me & told me what three university educated people told him to do at work in regards to reassembling a peace of equipment, all three were wrong, he knew this & did it he's way anyway with success. I have heard of this so often these days it's not funny anymore & in actual fact this is what's probably helping in sending this country broke, not enough real experience.
MathewMay 16 2013: Both the better we are the better we are.May 16 2013: Interesting aside to this conversation - I was listening to a TEDradio hour podcast on Itunes from Friday, May 3rd that addresses interests aspects of this debate. Take a listen!
Jim Ryan
May 16 2013: An education today trains you to be receptive to the innuendo of tomorrow. Most jobs can be taught to anyone of average intelligence in a short period of time, depending on a persons abilities and desire. How much of your education is aimed directly at your job and for how long?
- 0
You won't be able to reply to me, because like schools, Teds innuendo is all to obvious for those that can think beyond a copy and paste education. Ted like any other controlling agent, discriminates in favor of mediocrity, as that favors Ted.
Real intelligence is not wanted in society, unless controlled by controlling agents, that promote, censor and take from them.
Ted censors me a lot. Ted does not allow a reply button for me, because Ted promotes mediocrity, for its own sake and not that of learning.
Ted refuses challenges, because they aren't smart enough to think for themselves. They were not taught to think for themselves. The school systems don't teach such, so they can't be blamed.May 16 2013: Hi Kathi
This is a money saving ploy, my wife is a 60yr old Radiographer & she was downgraded for this reason.
It seems fashionable to recruit new graduates & give them fairly powerful positions with the hope of their input saving money. Where I work, this has been a bit of a disaster.
Where analytical skills are required I would go for the graduates. Where common sense & experience are concerned, go for the olde, experienced candidate. Above both I would rate personality & flexibility. People who are naturally happy at work, and willing to learn, get ahead of the rest in my book.

May 16 2013: I fully understand the point. But I would also like to mention that I know many with work experience and no education, wqhile at the same time, I know many with a Ph.D. who are dumb as rocks.May 15 2013: Your level of education comes from experience. They go hand in hand. But as i always say, you will never be fully educated, there is always something new to learn.

"When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong." At least, that's what the Elders believe in the world of Jonas — in the latest futuristic movie thriller, The Giver.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is full of tongue-in-cheek humor, great jeopardy, perilous action, and terrific character insights.
Forewarned is forearmed: D'Souza's book and film entitled America: Imagine the World Without Her have golden nuggets, but the valuables must be separated from deceptive bits of fools' gold.
The liberal-left faithful want everyone to repeat their mantra: The radical Right is buying American elections, and they are all Jew-hating, Nazi-wannabes. But this mantra is as untrue as the evidence in Citizen Koch is lacking.
Heaven is for Real is a heartwarming story about an incredible happening. The film adaptation of Todd Burpo's best-selling book of the same title describes his son's story about encountering the afterlife at the age of four as well as the profound effect this story has had on others. With a talented cast and amazing story driving it forward, the movie is sure to move audiences and have them running to their local bookstore to buy the book, both the adult and children's versions.

Izakaya Bincho: A Pictorial Essay
Verdict: Just go. It's awesome. Don't expect much in terms of decor. Though it is located on a somewhat seedy commercial strip at the Redondo Beach Pier, the izakaya fare that Chef Tomo-san & his wife Megumi-san serve up is among the very best in Southern California, and not to be missed. Don't forget to wash that great food down with an ice cold draft Sapporo!
Highlights: Anything chicken (especially the roasted free-range chicken with yuzu-pepper, chicken tsukune & teba saki), cuttlefish & guts, agedashi tofu, grilled potato butter, ginnan, shishito peppers, buta no kakuni.
Thanks for posting enticing shots of Tomo-san's mastery. It still amazes me that he and Megumi-san can pull off so many different dishes at one time. I know the weather isn't right for his excellent nabe dishes, but those are a must-order when the weather cools off - or just order another Sapporo draft to cool down afterwards...
re: bulavinaka
You're welcome. Since it looks to be hot weather for a while, I'll take the latter of your suggestions... :-)
re: Tripeler
Thank you for your kind words. This place is indeed great.
re: J.L.
For some reason, I always get those shrimp dumplings there and chicken wings... but yeah, it's an interesting beacon along that stretch of dining wilderness.
and if you are really into beer, definitely make a pit-stop at naja's. i guess usually i'm at naja's first and then end up at bincho. i have to say that bincho has a nice sake sampler too.
but i'll never understand the location, for once, you do have good food and a view. well, maybe not so much a view since there is the flowing banner that would cover any view but you get my point.
on a side note, there's a sushi/ikazya type place on the peir that has a very interesting menu with natto, and ankimo w caviar and other assort gourmet dishes, but now hounds have opined favorably about it, and i just believe it's the menu that sounds good, anyone know what i'm talking about, i forgot the name and don't believe that there's a website.
J.L. Great photos, I have been meaning to go to this spot. Just curious, what was the approx cost of the meal that was in the photos and how many people ate that food? Some answers here http://izakayabincho.com/menu.html But was curious to know what you experienced..
Thanks in advance.
re: Foodandwine
Hi Foodandwine, thank for the kind words. Our party of 5 had a great time, gorged ourselves (paced in a leisurely fashion over 3 hours) at about $35 per person.
Calling the International Boardwalk "seedy" is beyond a stretch.
Neither Shinsengumi, Kokekokko, nor Torihei has designer decor.
As much as I love this joint, the inconvenient location, the lack of expeditiousness makes me apprehensive every time I step thru the curtains.

Medford, Ore. -- Could the "big one" be coming for Oregon?
A big earthquake, the topic of a big discussion Thursday.
Dr. Althea Rizzo with the Oregon Office of Emergency Management spoke about how to prepare for a quake.
The predicted cascadia subduction zone earthquake is expected to have magnitude 9.0.
Dr. Rizzo says there's a 37% chance its coming to Oregon in the next 50 years "People frequently think of that cascadia as a coastal problem with he tsunami but really it's going to impact the entire pacific northwest."
Dr. Rizzo says the most important thing is to be informed and be prepared with a survival kit sufficient enough for at least 3 weeks.
Dr. Rizzo will host another forum Friday, April 18th, at the Josephine County Fairgrounds at 1pm.

When you know that someone you love is coming
to the end of his or her life, your own life
can become overwhelming. Feelings of sorrow,
stress, confusion, and helplessness may create an
emotional fog that can make it hard for you, and your
loved one, to plan. You may find yourself wondering,
"What do I do next?"
Help is close at hand, right at home, from United
Visiting Nurse Association's Home Hospice program.
And you can take comfort in the fact that your loved
one doesn't have to move to a hospice facility to get
hospice services.
at the other end of the phone, 24/7, ready to reach out when you call on us
for help," says Karin Speer, RN, CHPN, (Certified Hospice and Palliative
[relief-providing] Nurse), director of the program. "Our goals are to
help you keep your loved one at home, to make whatever time your loved one
has left as comfortable as possible, and also to reduce your own stress as
a caregiver. You may never have been through this before, but we have, and
we know what most often needs to be done.
"We urge you to call us months before you need us,"
Karin adds, "We're here to anticipate your upcoming
needs and help make sure that you have everything you
require, before you need it. The sooner you include us
in your support sytem, the more we can do to help.
"Our first question to you and your loved one is:
'Given your current abilities, what is the best way you
can imagine spending your time?' Then we go out of
our way to make sure that's what happens. We can
even help with non-medical needs. One of our patients
wanted to watch the birds outside his window…so
we got him a window-mounted bird feeder," Karin
United Home Hospice can provide a range of services, including—
Medicare covers home hospice care when the patient is expected to live for
six months or less, but hospice care can be provided for longer than that
if the need arises.
"Most terminally ill people tell us they would prefer to
spend the time they have left at home—but not if it will
be too stressful for their caretakers," Karin says.
"We offer them the assurance that we will help the
caregivers as well as the patients. And we continue
to guide and teach the patient and family members
until all are confident and comfortable in their ability
to keep their loved one at home, with the support of
United Home Hospice."
more information about United Home Hospice, please call 203-330-9198. We are
available to take your call 24/7.

Funny thing...the reason the gas wouldn't flow was because of dirt. Never would have guessed. The dirt was in the outlet too far back to see by eye. However, with the flow wide open I gently pushed a piece of filler rod into the gas port. Chunks of dirt blew out and thus resolved my issue! I didn't have the leads attached as I switch between TIG and SMAW frequently.

Humanities and Social Sciences
Professor Harris and Adjuncts
The communications courses are designed to meet the needs of students in the professional and cultural uses of the English language in writing and speaking. The courses in the humanities are designed to acquaint the students principally with the heritage of Western Civilization.
Webb's proximity to the prestigious cultural institutions in New York City permits academic field trips to be arranged to supplement classroom instruction in the humanities and social sciences.
Freshman Year
Instruction and practice in oral, written, and graphical communication: oral and written reports, letters, summaries, graphs, and figures. Exercises prepared in conjunction with courses in introductory naval architecture and other courses. Two hours per week in the first semester.
A historical and philosophical analysis of the major political theorists of the Western Tradition beginning with the birth of philosophy among the ancient Greeks. Major thinkers treated in this course include Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Burke, et al. Some of the key themes considered include theory of human nature, the concepts of law, justice and authority, the idea of the "good" state, and the notion of human happiness as it relates to the socio-political environment. Three hours per week in the second semester.
Sophomore Year
The first in a two-course sequence in the history of ideas. This interdisciplinary course traces the development of the Classical and Romantic world views through examination of literature, painting, sculpture, music, and architecture. Through this course students will become familiar with some of the major writers and artists and with some of the great works of western cultural achievement through the nineteenth century. Several required field trips. Three hours per week in the first semester.
The second course in a two-course sequence in the history of ideas. This interdisciplinary course traces a number of developments that inform "Modernism" (the notion of modernité) through examination of literature, painting, music, architecture, and film. Through this course students will become familiar with some of the major writers, artists, and ideas of the late-nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. Several required field trips. Two hours in the second semester.
Junior Year
Students are allowed to choose a course from a list of classes in the humanities and social sciences. Courses will be taught by both full-time Webb faculty and by adjunct faculty who are experts in particular subject areas. Three hours per week in the first semester.
An examination of the development of the American national government from the mid-eighteenth century to the 1950s. Emphasis will be on how enduring values combined with changed circumstances to produce new roles for the national government. Two hours per week in the second semester.
Senior Year
This course explores some of the most influential ethical systems in the tradition of moral philosophy. The examination of these works is accompanied by class discussions that examine the practical application of these systems in the business of everyday life. Class discussions depart from the two crucial questions that form the basis of all moral inquiry: How should a person live? What do we owe to others? These questions are explored through a variety of mediums, including abstract philosophy, literature, film, scientific articles, and specific case studies drawn from the field of science and engineering. Three hours per week in the first semester.
Instruction and practice in public presentations of a professional nature in naval architecture and marine engineering: organizing material, speaking effectively, and presenting visuals. Class is divided into small groups to give each student maximum opportunity for practice and improvement. Two hours per week in the second semester.

Bring your wall alive with a Junior classic, and a motivational message sure to inspire you to new heights! This rare vintage poster was published in 1999 by St. Louis-based company Mostly Memories Inc., in cooperation with the legendary Cardinals superstar Lou Brock's marketing and apparel firm Brockworld Products. For some reason, retail distribution of these posters never materialized, and very few ever left the warehouse of the publisher. A decade later, The Sports Poster Warehouse managed to obtain a limited quantity of this item from a wholesaler in the Eastern Missouri area, and now we are proud to FINALLY offer this item to the world! Ken Griffey Jr. fans will love the amazing action shot from one of the earliest home games at Safeco Field in 1999, while anyone looking for a great motivational poster will be thrilled by the design, style, action, and quote. Don't miss out - these likely won't last long!
