She may not be living with us right now, but Freya is still on my mind. Thankfully Lindsay has been kind enough to send some pictures along so I can give you an update.
The Dr. Sra at Southglen Animal Hospital reported that poor Freya had no existing groove in her little knees for her knee caps to fit into. No wonder they kept popping out. He was able to fully recreate a knee socket on one leg and insert two pins. The other knee was not as lucky. The bone was so frail it kept disintegrating as he worked on it. He was finally able to make the operation work, but there was only enough bone to put one pin in. Her legs make her look like a Franken-Pug, but once the staples are out, you'll never see the scars.
With her repaired soft palate, the only thing Freya agreed to eating during the first couple of days after her surgery was sliced roast beef. Because there are other dogs in the house, Lindsay has been placing her on the kitchen counter to eat. She refused to take her pain pills easily so Lindsay had to push them down her throat. This caused an interesting reaction.
Linday's cat, Gypsy is a but confused about this weird drooly dog who's been hanging out on the kitchen counter – her domain. She has come to the decision that Freya must be some kind of kindred spirit and they should be friends. In her vulnerable condition, Freya is not entirely convinced this is the best idea.
Despite her insecurities about her new friend, Freya is enjoying her new position as Counter-Pug. She gets lots of one-on one attention and maintains a high status above the pack.
Her knees are mending well. Dr. Sra was very pleased with her last check-up. She is now even allowed 5-minute leash walks to break up the boredom of her kennel rest.

Why Introduced:
So HMRC can tackle Employment Intermediaries that use false self-employment and offshore locations to reduce taxes and avoid employment rights.
HMRC want to know amounts paid to workers supplied by the Employment Intermediary where PAYE has not been deducted.
It has been reported that following a successful campaign from UCATT, albeit completely inaccurate, Edwina Hart the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport has now announced that the Government in Wales will amend contracts to ensure Umbrella Companies cannot be used for new Construction Contracts.
UCATT (Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians) have come in for criticism for their blanket policy of targeting umbrella companies and not understanding that it is actually the change in legislation that means many construction workers can no longer be treated as self-employed or paid through the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
Umbrella.co.uk have reviewed the 2014 Budget Statement for any key issues affecting UK contractors.
HMRC have a series of webinars coming up for the benefit of contractors and subcontractors that use or want to use the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
A webinar is an hour long presentation that also allows those watching to participate in a questions and answers session.
On Channel 4 Dispatches 19th January 2015 reporter Morland Sanders looked at lower paid workers in the UK. The episode was titled "Low Pay Britain". It is available on catch-up for the next month.
Umbrella's response to the Chancellor's Autumn Statement
The 2014 Chancellor's Autumn Statement has caused quite a stir amongst umbrella companies following the inclusion of the following paragraphs within the Autumn Statement's main documents
Part of the HM Treasury, The Office of Tax Simplification (OTS), has launched an Employment Status Review.
As part of our meet the PayMatters team - this month is Miles Grady a founding director of PayMatters.

For most of the 2017 season, the Phillies have been trying to walk a fine line between playing established, but struggling, big league players and calling up and playing the young prospects who have a higher upside and more promise.
For what seemed like a long time, Michael Saunders was hacking his way to .200. Tommy Joseph was blocking Rhys Hoskins. Cameron Rupp got way too much playing time after Jorge Alfaro was promoted. And then there was the quest to get Freddy Galvis in all 162 games (that's still ongoing, by the way).


text: The P.E. Hall of Shame has a number of games that I played during my early years in school. From Dodgeball, to Simon Says, to Elimination forms of Tag, my P.E. class had them all. Dodgeball was one in particular that looking back on it now, really was not appropriate for our class and age group. First of all, it single's out the weaker players in the class, which leads them to have to sit out and watch once they have been eliminated. This is exactly what we are fighting against now. Not only did they feel bad about themselves after being one of the first ones out, but then they got to sit down and wait for the game to end. That's right I said SIT DOWN! We need to keep kids moving as much as possible throughout the P.E. class, and having them sit down and wait is absolutely unexceptable. Now, Dodgeball is not a great game to play in my opinion, especially not the way we played it, but with certain variations to the original game it could still be affective in a P.E. class. It does work on throwing, catching, dodging and weaving so it is not all bad. A variation that could have been made to my particular P.E. class was that instead of having the "eliminated" players be sent to the sidelines to watch, they could instead of being "eliminated", be "sent back to base" and from the "base" they would have to each catch a pass from a teammate before the teammate could attempt to "eliminate" anyone on the other team. This would keep them invloved and still feel important to the game being played. It also will keep them from SITTING DOWN!!!

If you have ever been to an interview, you know that the first aspect of our personality that the interviewer judges is our appearance and the way we behave. It is believed that our appearance actually can tell a lot about us. For example, a person who is used to working very methodically and neatly is usually used to dressing up neatly and cleanly. A person who has no organization in his or her life shows that from the way they dress and the way they care for their body. These are the reasons for an interviewer making a judgement about you from the way you look. They are trying their best to make a correct assessment of you during the little time you spend with them. Therefore, our goal should be to have a good appearance not only for just interviews but also for any occasion that we may have to take part in.
Keeping up a good look does not happen overnight. If you really want to look good you need to make it a habit of yours to take care of your body. You will see why we say this as you read on.
Using Products to Enhance Your Beauty
Now, one way of looking good is by using cosmetics to enhance your beauty. Anyone can buy cosmetics these days without a trouble because you can use the internet to purchase makeup online Dubai. If you know what you are looking for you can buy the product in the brand you want as a website dedicated to this service is going to have a wide range of products to fulfil your needs. Therefore, by applying these cosmetics you can enhance the look you already have.
Using Products to Maintain Your Beauty
Then, we come to the second part of having a good look. You need to understand that in order for makeup to be able to enhance your look you should have a look. That means you should be taking care of your body if you need to maintain and nourish the look you already have. One way to do that is using trustworthy products such as Klairs Korean in Dubai that promises to protect and nourish your skin without worrying too much.
Therefore, you must have now understood that behind every beautiful, praiseworthy appearance there is a lot of hard work. You have to take the necessary steps to keep your body healthy, your skin nourished and moisturized. Then, you have to take effort and choose the best cosmetics products that suit you and enhance your look.

moreFor more than a decade, actor John de Lancie has delighted and provoked audiences as Star Trek®'s most unpredictable antagonist, the enigmatic cosmic entity known only as Q. Now de Lancie has turned his talent and imagination to the creation of a whole new world, a startling vision of Earth on the brink of an evolutionary leap in human consciousness....
It is the day after tomorrow, early in the next millenia, and all over the world people begin experiencing bizarre mental transformations. The majority of men and woman find their minds shutting down, but a handful develop astounding new psychic abilities. They are the adepts.

But more than human minds are at war here, for deep beneath the earth, an alien intelligence, dormant for thirty million years, is stirring once again, and sending its psychic tendrils into the minds of a vulnerable multitude. This inhuman entity has its own plans for the Earth, and they do not include Homo sapiens. Fighting amongst themselves, the adepts can scarcely imagine the awesome and ancient intelligence that will ultimately test a new breed of humanity.

text: Asma Khalid Trump's Tariffs Worry A Small Steel City In Pennsylvania By Asma Khalid • Jun 8, 2018 Dan Moore, a 58-year-old steel mill worker, gives the president an A+ on everything from tax cuts to foreign policy, but he is not so sure about tariffs. "We need tariffs, but when it starts to impact the company where you work ... you're thinking, well wait a minute, time out!" he said. Moore is worried the tariffs might cost him his job. The mill where he works, NLMK Pennsylvania, in the town of Farrell, not far from the border with Ohio, employs 750 workers and is a subsidiary of Novolipetsk Steel, or NLMK, Russia's top steelmaker. Stacey Vs. Stacey: The Democratic Fight For Governor In Georgia By Asma Khalid • May 21, 2018 The two candidates running for governor in the Georgia Democratic primary on May 22 have plenty of similarities: they're both women named Stacey; they're both former legislators in the Georgia House of Representatives; they're both lawyers; and they're both calling for similar progressive policies, such as expanding Medicaid. But Stacey Abrams is black. And Stacey Evans is white. The color of their skin is the most obvious, if not superficial, difference between the two women. And it's led to a racialized campaign full of competing strategies on how you win. 50 States And No Black Governors, But That Could Change In 2018 By Asma Khalid • May 18, 2018 At Columbia Drive United Methodist church in Decatur, Ga., the congregation bowed their heads under a brightly lit cross and prayed for their fellow worshiper — Stacey Abrams, the former minority leader in the Georgia legislature now running for governor. Black Gubernatorial Candidates Face An Uphill Battle By Asma Khalid • May 17, 2018 Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/. ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: Not a single current governor in the U.S. is black. In fact, in the history of the United States, only two African-Americans have ever been elected governor. This year candidates in several states are trying to change that, as NPR's Asma Khalid reports. 'Tea Party Liberal' Promises To Bring A Blue Wave To West Virginia By Asma Khalid • Apr 25, 2018 Richard Ojeda joined the Army because he says it seemed like the most reasonable choice he had growing up; his alternative options, he says, were to "dig coal" or "sell dope." So he chose the Army, where he spent more than two decades. But when he came home to Logan County, W.Va., he was stunned. "I come home from spending 24 years in the United States Army and I realize I got kids in my backyard that have it worse than the kids I saw in Iraq and Afghanistan," he shouts into the microphone during an interview.

This is Cat. He has several names but i like to call him Cat. Why do i have his pic up here? For no reason at all. I like this picture, so i have it up here. This Cat though,has mental issues. Completely unpredictable and that's what actually makes him totally likable and unique. He bit me twice and so now he is barred from sitting on my lap when he likes. The End.
Apart from that, all is well in my head, or so i am hoping. The last month, actually not even the whole month- just the last 3 weeks have been BRUTAL. So much work, as a result with the change in the air pressure, my brain cells have contracted and expanded so many times, leaving me with few to none. I am,however, still able to type this out without seeming that "off" in the head. Had a fantastic Xmas with a cool set of work colleagues in Panama City and that was perhaps the start of my delirium. At 8:00 AM i decide to go and swim in the pool on the 6th floor of the hotel. This pool is not the scariest of all pools but for a person who has been a swimmer for just over a year, it could be a dangerous place. Well at 8:00, no one expect a whole lot of people up there anyway. I was wrong. There were a few handful,but that didn't stop me from jumping in the pool in my little bikini with my swimming goggles and my swimming cap. Its almost impossible for me to do anything with myself in the water, if i don't have the 2 most important pieces of equipment on me.- my goggles and my cap. So, in i jumped and off i went. Face in the water.. breathing out through the nose and staring at the bottom of the pool. The panic attack that followed was worth witnessing. I have made this little illustration that i'll elucidate further on
ok so, the 3 big circles that you are seeing in this picture above, is the clear glass at the bottom of the pool. Through this clear glass you can actually see people sitting and having b'fast in the dining hall on the 1st floor. Remember, the pool is on the 6th floor. Now imagine the fright i got on seeing this when i put my face in the water. I PANICKED and started splashing all over as if i was drowning and then i hear this male voice telling me " Just stand up, it's only 4.9 Ft deep". WHAT???? " Stand up and you won't drown". Oh right. OK. So i stood up, i put on a great show for the construction guys working on a building adjacent to the Hotel, i waved at them and decided that it was enough swimming for the day. The male voice wasn't my voice of conscience, in case you all are wondering…the inner me still sounds like a female. Thank you very much. It was the voice of the guy who had just come out to take some morning sun and for all we know, probably, enjoy the pool. He had no idea there was a comedy show on this early in the morning.
Well, that was a fun start to a wonderful 25th of Dec. I then was just getting myself together when my work colleague (we shall call him Mr. GG) who is around 6ft tall and big, and has a head full of hair, came up to the pool area to fetch me for b'fast. Off we went to fill our tummies. It was buffet style so i had a nice time filling my plate with all the exotic fruits and meats to start my day. I turn around to see where GG had landed, and i spotted him talking to 2 women. I thought they were our work colleagues from a different base, so decided to go over and introduce myself to them.
me: " BONJOUR, HI :-D" smiling at the 2 ladies. They were sitting down and GG was standing by their side. I had my back towards GG
lady 1: " Hi?!"
lady 2: "Hi"
Since i had butted in their conversation only to say Bonjour 🙂 Hi, to them, i decided it's only polite to let them finish before i introduce myself to them. So i stood there till they were done talking. What seemed strange was that they completely stopped talking and were just looking up at me, which made me look back at them with this look- no no, please carry on.. am free i can stand here all day, listen up to you and then if i remember, will tell you what my name is OR i'll wait for GG to introduce me to you. Hmmm why isn't anyone talking anymore and why are the two ladies looking at me like that?? So i turn around to face GG only to realize that this tall skinny bald man ISN'T GG but some stranger. Inside my mind, i can hear roars of laughter. I was hysterically laughing on the inside but on the outside i had this calm smile on my face where i turn my head around in the women's direction only to tell the one closer to me, "you look so familiar to a very good friend of mine…Am sorry, I mistook you for her. Have a happy xmas :)."
I turned and walked away trying not to shake with laughter but walk with dignity while trying to spot GG with hardly any vision, since i wasn't wearing my glasses/lenses. Whom were you talking to Jas? Oh, no one. I thought that tall guy was you. HE IS BALD, I HAVE HAIR!! yeah, *grin* i noticed.
And then, there was today. Hi, I think i left my black dress in your hotel. I was there on the night of the 25th and checked out the 26th of Dec. Could you please check to make sure that housekeeping found it… I'll wait, yes. No problem. I was staying on the 9th floor, don't know the room number but it was probably 3 rooms away from the elevator. You found it???? Thank you so much!!!! No, i was staying on the 9th floor and not the 15th. It is all black. Ok, i'll call back in two hours.
Hi, its me again. Sorry, please call off the search. I found my dress. It was in my suitcase. ( The case that i have been packing for my wedding and my honeymoon.)
Can anyone blame me???? Air pressure does this to the best of us. Stale, germ filled air with a mixture of a load of other smells all together- a proper molotov cocktail blowing up my cells individually.

The 2013-2014 school year is winding down (and in some locations already done). But, that does not mean learning or the enjoyment of science stops – in fact this can be the best time of year to explore and build upon what your students have learned (or you for that matter).
My husband and I recently took a trip to part of the United States we had never been before – the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the "North Woods" area of Wisconsin. Having just taught Earth Science – I found myself looking at the geology and the weather with a different eye. We even had discussions about the true technical names of various features and debates how to categorize various items. Here are some examples:
* What is the name of a rock or boulder left behind by a glacier? – An erratic
* What is the name of the hillocks left behind by a glacier? – Moraines
* Where is the ice age trail? The North Woods area of Wisconsin
* Just where does the Mississippi-Missouri drainage basin fit in terms of drainage basins in the world? It is number 3 – the Amazon is number 1.
Questions like these come up while you are traveling place to place. You may also have the fun mythology of the formations as well – why is Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes? They are the foot prints from Babe the Blue Ox. Or, from geology – they are the result of glaciation. PS – the name comes from the Dakota word for "clear water". It is an easy way to bring in literature, folklore and science – without the stuffiness of a text book.
You can use the time to enhance observations – just check out these pictures – taken during our trip. The following are two different examples of cloud formations. They were interesting to the eye.
Here are some other observations from the North Woods – are they mushrooms? What is the plant going to be?
And look at how the dew decorates the fir tree.
All of these – are just observations – but lead to questions – and questions lead to exploration. Use this time to explore.

New team to lead ASU's College of Education By Tunisia Williams A new team was named to lead the Col-
lege of Education. The announcement was made by Samuel Sullivan, vice president for academic affairs, at a meeting of the college faculty. The new team was selected from among current faculty members because, as Dr. Sullivan remarks, "there is already a strong foundation in place on which to build, and the team has the inside knowledge of the efficiency and quality of the college to move it forward." Gordon Eisenman, former chair of the Department of Teacher Education, became dean of the college, and Paula Dohoney, former chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science became associate dean. Three new department chairs were also named, effective July 1, 2009. Karen Wish, assistant professor of health and physical education became chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science; Judi Wilson, associate professor of early childhood education and former assistant chair of the Department of Teacher Education, became chair of that department; and E. Wayne Lord, assistant professor of education, now chairs the Department of Educational Leadership, Counseling, and Special Education. Dr. Eisenman, a former elementary school teacher, joined the ASU faculty in 1995 as an assistant professor of early childhood education. In 1997, he was selected by the Georgia Science Teachers Association as the state's Teacher of the Year at the college level for excellence in teaching and for his commitment to the improvement of science education. Dr. Eisenman has served on the university's Academic Policies Com-
mittee, the Promotion and Tenure Committee, and the Education Chairs Council as well as the steering committee preparing for a reaccreditation visit of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native received his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from the University of Georgia. "I am very happy that after having done a national search for this position that one of our own was found to be the best fit for the college," says Dr. Sullivan. "Dr. Eisenman is highly qualified, and I am confident that he will continue to build Augusta State's reputation for turning out exceptional teachers and administrators. He will have an excellent team to help him—a team with vast, in-the-field experiences on which to draw." The new associate dean, Dr. Dohoney, joined the university in 2005. A former high school teacher, she received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Tennessee Technological University, a master's degree from the University of TennesseeChattanooga, and a doctoral degree from Middle Tennessee State University. She serves as an examiner for the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, and is a representative to the Georgia Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. Dr. Wish is a former officer in the U.S. Army where she last served as Chief, Nutrition Care Division, at the Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center. She joined the faculty at Augusta State as an assistant professor of health and physical education in 2007. Dr. Wish holds a bachelor's degree in foods and nutrition from
California State Polytechnic University, a master's degree in education from the University of Texas, and a doctoral degree in foods and nutrition from Texas Tech University. Dr. Wilson received her bachelor's degree from Furman University, a master's degree from the University of Georgia, and a doctoral degree from Georgia Southern University. She became a full-time member of the ASU faculty in 2002 as an associate professor of education in the Teacher Education department. Dr. Lord, a native of North Augusta, obtained a bachelor's degree in piano performance from Augusta College before attending the University of South Carolina, where he earned a master's degree in music education, an educational specialist, and a doctoral degree in educational administration. He became a member of the ASU faculty in 2006. "I am sure that the College of Education under this new leadership will continue its tradition of excellence because of its committed faculty and staff, exceptional students, and the relationships it has built with our partners," says Dr. Sullivan.

By Danielle Harris In the first program recognizing the Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals to Watch in our community, four of those selected have connections to Augusta State. Among those selected for the honor by the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce are alumni Christine Ball, Rhonda Banks, Chris Etterlee, and Mark Thompson. Susan Parr, chamber president, says young professionals are expected to have more influence on the future than the generations that have come before them. She says more and more cities across the country are taking steps to retain and import a generation of young professionals that is » Continued on page 4

Serving our military By Tunisia Williams Augusta State University is a member of
the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC), a consortium of national higher education associations that help meet the higher education needs of members of the military services. As a SOC member, ASU has been working to increase the educational opportunities and programs available to servicemembers and to their families. Through the Continuing Education Division, ASU is providing online, anytime training for portable careers through Career Advancement Accounts (CAA), which is a program that assists military spouses seeking to gain the skills and credentials necessary to begin or advance their careers. It covers the costs of training and education, enabling participants to earn a degree or credential in high-demand fields. "This is a national initiative to help train military spouses in 'portable careers' such as teaching, medical coding, IT certifications, and a number of other popular areas. Workers in high-demand portable occupations are able to pick up and move when spouses are reassigned, yet are still able to continue their career paths and futures," says Denise Moore, operations manager in continuing education. Ms. Moore is working with the Fort Gordon Education Office, giving presentations to family and spouse groups on post and already has students enrolled in online classes. She has had students enroll from as far away as Germany. As part of the ASU Continuing Education CAA program, tuition includes all materials, textbooks, and a laptop. For several years now, ASU has been attempting to become a Letter-of-Instruction (LOI) institution, which would allow members of the military to enroll in aca-
demic credit courses through GoArmyEd, a program that provides tuition assistance upfront rather than through reimbursement to the military student. However, beginning in October, the Army will open
its GoArmyEd portal to both LOI and nonLOI institutions. According to Alexander McNamara, associate director of the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges, the most important change in the new portal will be that soldiers will be able to receive upfront tuition assistance at non-LOI institutions (such as Augusta State). "We're glad that this benefit has been restored to the soldiers at Fort Gordon, and we're looking forward to serving them," says Barbara Stewart, accounts receivable manager in ASU's Business Office. Several programs are already in place that will be of particular interest to servicemembers and their spouses; others are in development, pending approval. ASU's Master of Public Administration degree program includes a track in homeland
security. Saundra Reinke, director of ASU's MPA program and a former Air Force officer, led the effort in 2007 for ASU to become a member of the SOC consortium. Dr. Reinke says based on information from a survey conducted by the National Security Association, there is strong interest in the development of a Middle East studies program. "The 2008 survey results indicated this would need to be an online degree to best support the needs of shift workers. A committee of the Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences is developing the curriculum, which would then be ready for the approval process in September 2009," she says. Other possible programs include an information assurance track in a degree program offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and a health technology track in the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree program. Samuel Sullivan, vice president for academic affairs, stresses that all programs would need to be approved and recommended by ASU faculty before being offered. In the case of a new degree program (not a track), it would also have to be approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. "We are very excited about the possibility of developing a closer relationship with our service men and women and their families, but we also want to make sure that the educational programs that are to be offered are in-line with the academic standards and quality for which our institution is known," says Dr. Sullivan. "We are looking forward to the GoArmyEd portal opening in October."
ADP partners up to advance STEM studies By Danielle Harris America is no longer the world's leader in
science and technology, which makes the initiative to get students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) all the more important. And partnerships, such as one forged between ASU and Automatic Data Processing, Inc.—one of the world's largest providers of business outsourcing solutions—help this initiative. Through a three-year, $600,000 grant, Augusta State and two other Augusta colleges will address the need for more science graduates. ASU plans to award at least 30 new scholarships to students in STEM or STEM-education fields over the three-year period as well as increase the staffing and hours of operation for student labs. So far, the university has already selected 11 students to receive the scholarships. "With these tough economic times, the additional funding that is being made possible for students will go far," says Philip Javernick, a scholarship recipient and ASU physics and mathematics double major. "I'm a full-time student, and I've decided not to work during the summer semester so I can concentrate on my studies. So
having this scholarship definitely takes a load off of me," he adds. Mr. Javernick says the grant will be a great tool to draw students to both the institution and to the STEM areas of study. While science accounts for the largest number of majors at ASU, it does not produce the most graduates. According to a report issued by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, the top undergraduate choice of majors is business—not STEM fields. The ADP Educational Partners for Suc-
cess Grant may change that, however. "Having this funding available will open doors of opportunity for both the student and the institution; the more we can show progress in the areas of technology and related fields, the more successful we will be," he says. Mr. Javernick plans to attend graduate school following graduation from ASU in hopes of becoming a researcher and working with NASA. Students examine samples in an ASU LaB.
Center for the Study of Georgia History By Kathy Schofe The Center for the Study of Georgia His-
tory at Augusta State is located on the third floor of Reese Library, but if you want to find its director, you'll probably have to leave a note on the door. She may be out speaking to a civic or education group about state or local history, obtaining a new collection of papers for Reese Library, teaching history teachers about U.S. and Georgia history, performing commissioned research on the Revolutionary War, leading a historical tour of the city for a special group, or attending a professional or community board meeting. You won't find her sitting behind a desk—unless she's writing a grant or a book or answering research inquiries from around the state. Since becoming the center's director in August 2008, Lee Ann Caldwell has been one busy woman, not only carrying on the work of her mentor and colleague, Dr. Edward Cashin, founder of the center, but expanding the center's activities and reach. "I'd like for the center to become the public and academic source for Georgia's history; it was Ed Cashin's vision and has become my goal," Dr. Caldwell says. She has been successful in obtaining several manuscript collections for the library's special collections, among them papers of the Walker Family and Charles DeVaney, as well as the records of the Shiloh Orphanage and the Pilgrim Insurance Company. She is also excited about the papers of Dr. Cashin, which include all of his research for the twenty-plus books he authored on different topics in local, Georgia, and regional history.

Academic Rewards
President's Award
By LaKeisha Forbes
By Danielle Harris
About 113 housing residents were rewarded for academic excellence in spring semester
His service, dedication, and leadership in the community are why Edward Polite, a retired
through a new program for University Village residents called the Academic Rewards Program. In the program, 87 UV residents who had a grade point average between 3.0 to 3.65 earned $100 on their JagCards, while 26 residents who made a 3.66 or higher GPA received $250. Jeannen Hobbs, a junior communications major, received a $100 award for both fall and spring semesters. As a student who is financially independent from her parents, the Resident Academic Rewards program has helped alleviate some of her financial issues. "Many students who live with their parents already have the necessities provided for them," says Ms. Hobbs. "Some University Village residents have to provide for themselves. We don't have our parents supporting us financially, so our academic reward money goes to the areas where we have financial difficulty." Kimberley Thomas, a junior computer science major, who was awarded $100 for the spring 2009 semester, agrees. "After paying bills, there isn't much money left over," she says. "With the additional funds that I received, I am able to take care of my basic needs without having to call and ask my mother for money," says Ms. Thomas. To qualify for the rewards program, students must have completed at least nine credit hours in courses at the 1000 level or above, have an overall institutional GPA of at least 2.0, and have successfully completed all of their courses for that semester. Joyce Jones, vice president for student services, says that living in student housing has been shown to improve students' academic performance. "We offer several programs at University Village to promote academic success. Through this Resident Academic Rewards program, we want to communicate this to students and to recognize those residents who achieve these academic goals." According to Dr. Jones, the desired result of the program is to motivate students to do well in school. "We have students who are serious about their education, and this is one way that we can encourage them to excel in the classroom," she says. The Academic Rewards program has been an additional motivator for Ms. Hobbs and Ms. Thomas. But Ms. Hobbs believes that the program has had another positive result for both students and the university, "The Academic Rewards program is an incentive to continue living in campus housing—it's win-win because we get the financial help and the university gets students in housing who are serious about their education," she says. Both Ms. Hobbs and Ms. Thomas agree that the Academic Rewards program shows that ASU is looking out for the best interests of its students.

« Go Jags!, continued from page 1 In individual play, several Jaguars also captured headlines. Shannon Wilkerson, a junior outfielder, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the eighth round of Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft. Mr. Wilkerson is the highest draft pick in the 45-year history of the Jaguar baseball program. A Dacula, Ga., native, Mr. Wilkerson was named the Division II National Player-Of-The-Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and by Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA). He was previously selected the NCBWA Southeast Region Player-Of-The-Year, the ABCA Southeast Region Player-Of-The-Year and the Peach Belt Conference Player-Of-The-Year. All-American guard Ben Madgen represented his home nation of Australia in the World University Games, which were held in July in Belgrade, Serbia. Madgen was named the PBC Tournament's Most Valuable Player, and he led the league in scoring and in three-point percentages. He was the only conference player to rank in the top 15 in scoring, field goal percentage, and assists. He was selected first-team All-Southeast Region and was a first-team All-PBC pick. Sophomore Henrik Norlander, a native of Sweden, helped lead Europe to its second straight win against the U.S. team in the Palmer Cup. Norlander was named to the PING All-Southeast Region team by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Senior outfielder Angii Verbeelen was named the PBC's Scholar-Athlete-Of-TheYear for 2008-09, which is the highest honor given by the conference. A native of Melrose, Fla., she also was named the Tommy Werrick Female Student-Athlete of the Year at ASU. She graduated in May with a 3.92 GPA. Seniors Jorge Virguez and Chris Tyler were named to the PBC Baseball All-Academic team, recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of PBC student-athletes in the classroom as well as on the field. A total of 73 student-athletes were named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll at ASU. Five of ASU's 10 varsity sports—softball, women's tennis, men's tennis, women's golf, and men's golf had team GPA's over 3.0. "It's very rewarding to see this many student-athletes not only meet their athletic goals, but their academic goals as well," says ASU Director of Athletics Clint Bryant. "We're constantly striving to increase our academic achievement and to find new ways to prepare and motivate our student-athletes to perform at their very best."

ASU CAMPUS NOTES Alma Mater recognizes ASU president By Danielle Harris
During his 16-year tenure, the institution has become a state university, enrollment and programs have grown, private giving has increased, and over $95 million in new construction and renovations has resulted in student housing and state-of-the-art facilities. Dr. Bloodworth is the national president-elect of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and has served on a number of community and state boards including the American Red Cross, Greater Augusta Arts Council, Georgia Medical Center Authority, and the Association of the United States Army.
New trustees named ASU President William A. Bloodworth, Jr., has been named recipient of the 2009
Distinguished Alumnus Award from his alma mater, Texas Lutheran University (TLU) in Seguin, Texas. The TLU Board of Regents made the selection based on Dr. Bloodworth's record of professional achievements and community involvement. "Such a long tenure is rare for college presidents in this day and age, and that speaks highly of President Bloodworth's effective leadership," says TLU President Ann M. Svennungsen. "TLU is proud to claim him as an alumnus." The award will be presented to Dr. Bloodworth in November at the annual TLU Salutes banquet, which is held during Homecoming. Dr. Bloodworth graduated from Texas Lutheran College in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in English and education. After teaching English and speech in public schools of Boerne and Port Neches, Tex., he entered Lamar University in Beaumont in 1967. He graduated with a degree in English and then obtained a doctorate in American Civilization from the University of Texas at Austin. Following service at East Carolina University and Central Missouri State University, Dr. Bloodworth became the eighth president of Augusta College in 1993.

Douglass, Jr., is the owner and operator of E.L.D., Inc., a local limousine and transportation service. Mr. Douglass has been involved in the Boys Club of Augusta, the Georgia/Carolina Council of Boy Scouts, and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. An elder at Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church, he and his wife, Mary Ann, have been members of the President's Club since 1982. The '55 alumnus of Davidson College is also a recipient of the Davidson Alumni Service Award. Mary Hamilton Anderson, '71 alumna, and her husband, Jimmy, have been members of ASU's President's Club since 2006. She opened a private medical practice
in 1991 and merged with Pediatric Partners in 1997. As an allergist, Dr. Anderson educates the community about asthma maintenance and allergy prevention. Dr. Anderson received an Associate of Science degree in nursing from Augusta College and a doctorate from the Medical College of Georgia. Georgia state representative Barbara Sims is a founding member of the Proud

four intravenous (IV) pumps and a "Noelle" obstetrical (OB) mannequin, the department's first labor and delivery simulator. The equipment was purchased with the assistance of Diane Robillard, nursing professor and class advisor. "The particular equipment was decided upon after discussions among our class members about what we would have found helpful in our clinical," says Ms. Jatho. "Since we can't always depend on babies being born during our OB clinicals, Noelle goes through labor and 'gives birth,' enabling students to observe the mechanics of labor and delivery." Each IV pump is a duplicate of ones used at the four local hospitals where the students conduct their clinical experiences. Ms. Jatho says the pumps will help future nursing students become familiar with the specific equipment they will use during their clinicals at the hospitals.

The Nursing Class of 2009 had an impor-
tant decision to make—forego a large celebratory reception after their pinning ceremony or purchase equipment that would be helpful in the nursing department's Skills Lab. "As a class, we discussed and voted on it; we felt that the department and future nursing students would benefit from the legacy of the Class of 2009," says Ruthie Jatho, the nursing class president. After having yard sales, gas card raffles, Turkeygrams at Thanksgiving, and class donations, the nursing students finally reached their goal of raising more than $15,000. This allowed them to purchase
The equipment was presented during the annual Pinning Ceremony in May, and the nursing faculty and staff were surprised to discover what the graduates had done. "Keeping it from Dr. Price (department chair) was a challenge. In department meetings, the subject of getting a birthing doll kept coming up because we were trying to figure out how we would be able to purchase it," says Ms. Robillard. "And all the while, I knew that the doll was being manufactured just for us in the factory, but I couldn't tell the other faculty members because it was a secret," she adds.

Lee Presidential Scholars
ASU and Georgia Tech team up
By Tunisia Williams
By Danielle Harris
The first Natalie and Lansing B. Lee Presidential Scholarship went to two ASU students
who persevered academically in spite of the challenges they faced. May graduates Delos Moses, finance major, and Steven Smith, criminal justice major, were the first recipients of the scholarship designed to reward the academic achievements of students who began their college experience in learning support. Mr. Moses and Mr. Smith were both nominated for the scholarship by professors who took notice of their desire to succeed. "Mr. Moses has a quiet and unassuming demeanor, but underneath, he has a burning desire to succeed. One thing I can remember is that he was never satisfied with a grade. He always said, 'I can do better.' He truly believed that he could, and he did," says Karen Hayes, mathematics instructor in ASU's Department of Learning Support. Mr. Moses saw his acceptance to the university as an opportunity to make some major changes in his life. "I didn't have many choices in life, but I chose to take advantage of this opportunity. I started at the bottom but finished on top," he explains. Mr. Smith says that his biggest challenge was his difficulty in reading. "I appreciate Ms. Valerie Cato and Ms. Heather Metress for all of their time and effort in tutoring and helping me succeed," he says. Ms. Cato, instructor in the Department of English and Foreign Languages, says that initially Mr. Smith was struggling. A guard on the men's basketball team, he juggled classes, practice, and study; however, he showed up regularly to work one-on-one with her during his lunch hour. "He never complained and always did the work I gave him, and it was a lot of work. But that's how he was; he was willing to do the work and sacrifice the present for the rewards that would come in the future. Steve is really a quiet lion who perseveres," she says. The Natalie and Lansing B. Lee Presidential Scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic improvement and financial need. A recipient must be a rising sophomore, junior, or senior who has achieved a minimum 2.5 grade point average. "It is exciting to see two such deserving young men being honored, not only for their academic success in achieving their goal and obtaining a bachelor's degree, but also for their persistence, perseverance, and determination in the face of many academic and personal obstacles," says Cynthia Craig, chair of the Department of Learning Sup(l & R) Delos Moses and Steven Smith. port.
Against all odds By Danielle Harris "I do not consider myself to be the smartest or
the brightest. But I am one of the best at recognizing the strength in others and recognizing my need for the help of others." This is how Chris Goss, May '09 graduate, describes himself in his commencement speech to about a thousand of his classmates at the university's graduation ceremony. Throughout his life, Mr. Goss has overcome obstacles and achieved goals that many said were unattainable. Just before he entered into third grade, he was diagnosed as dyslexic and disgraphic, and experts told his parents that he should be placed in special education, that he would never be able to handle the challenges of college. But it was with determination and perseverance that Chris Goss says he was able to defy all odds and become one of Augusta State's three 2009 valedictorians. Besides his faith in Christ, Mr. Goss says one of the biggest influences in his life has been his parents' drive to see him excel academically. Instead of placing her son in special education, Mr. Goss' mother, Kim, took on the challenge of homeschooling him until his sophomore year in high school. After graduating from Augusta Christian in 2005, the Appling, Ga., native began his college career at Augusta State as a music major with a minor in communications. At ASU, Mr. Goss received several awards, and among the most prestigious was being selected as Augusta State's top scholar for a University System of Georgia program that includes recognition by the Georgia state legislature. He also was named the first-ever student vice president for the university's chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. He made history by becoming the first student to give a commencement speech at a graduation for Augusta State. Mr. Goss was chosen to share his words of inspiration at the 2009 spring commencement ceremony in the
In 2008, officials from Augusta State and Georgia Institute of Technology signed an
articulation agreement establishing an engineering transfer program between the two schools. The agreement established a pre-engineering preparatory program at Augusta State that matches the core curriculum coursework required for a seamless transfer to the engineering program at Georgia Tech Savannah. After completing the academic requirements of both institutions, students will earn a bachelor's degree in engineering from Georgia Tech. So far, the response to the new program has been positive, according to Andrew Hauger, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Physics. He says dozens of students from Augusta State and other universities in Georgia have shown an interest in the program. Philip Hines, a nontraditional student and mechanical engineering major, is enrolled in the program. He says that having a program such as this in our area will create new opportunities for students and it may even help them save money in the long-run. "Even though I was living and working full-time in Augusta, I would drive to Georgia Southern University every night to attend classes in their engineering transfer program," says Mr. Hines. "Since I have transferred into the engineering classes at ASU, I have more time to be with my family and to study; plus, I am saving money since I don't have to commute," he adds. Mr. Hines also points out the benefit that the new program has on the community. "Usually, companies in our area receive interns or co-ops from larger, well-known universities such as Virginia Tech. Now, with this new program, our students may enter these organizations being better prepared and well-trained, and they will be equipped with the skills needed to succeed in their fields," he adds. The ASU-Georgia Tech Savannah program includes civil, environmental, electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering. Students entering Augusta State through this program are automatically accepted into the engineering program at Georgia Tech Savannah provided that the minimum grade point averages are met. Students must, if Georgia residents, have a minimum grade point average of 2.7. Non-Georgia residents must earn a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in the math, science, and engineering courses. "We are excited about the opportunities provided by our new engineering transfer program with Georgia Tech Savannah. Nationally, there is a high demand for engineers, and we now offer students in Augusta a new way to enter the profession," says Dr. Hauger.
James Brown Arena. "That moment had to have been the highest point of my life," Mr. Goss says. "I was very grateful to have had the opportunity. I had practiced the speech, but when I finished, I never thought I would receive a standing ovation." "I contribute much of my success in college to the many academic resources that ASU has to offer. My freshman year, I spent numerous hours in the math lab. I spent a lot of time talking with my instructors, and almost every paper I have written has been reviewed and edited by the Writing Center," he adds. Chris Goss is not only a scholar, but he is considered to be a talented musician with a blossoming musical career. During his senior year of high school, he formed a group known as Chris Goss and the Gitcha' By Band, which he says is inspired by music legends such as James Brown. He says he plans to move to Nashville and pursue a career in the music industry or attend graduate school. It is a decision accompanied by prayer, he says. "God is a God of excellence, and we should be people of excellence," Mr. Goss says. "So, I must make sure I do my best in all that I do."
A Day for ASU By Kathy Schofe Augusta State—like other public insti-
tutions—is state assisted rather than state supported, and that's why private giving is so important. In this year's annual fund drive, A Day for Augusta State University, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends will make financial gifts that will enhance the educational experience provided by state dollars. Faculty research, professional development, scholarships, equipment, and technology—these are only a few of the projects that are enhanced through private giving. The 16th annual A Day campaign kicked off with the campus campaign on Aug.11 at the fall convocation. Led by faculty members Drs. Hubert and Debbie van Tuyll, the campus campaign incorporated an "I Gave to A Day the First Day" event. The community campaign, led by Mr. John Bell, attorney with the Law Office of Bell and Brigham, will begin when the campus campaign concludes, at the President's Club Luncheon on Sept. 15. "We are asking our friends to make an investment in Augusta State," says Wes Zamzow, director of alumni relations and annual giving. "We're also asking our friends to check with their employers to see if they will match employees' contributions. Employees can double or triple their gifts to ASU depending on their companies' matching gift programs. Mr. Zamzow points out that the main reason for giving is the satisfaction of knowing that a student's future is being positively affected through an annual gift. He says that the success of A Day for ASU will be celebrated on Oct. 9 at the annual Alumni Association Barbecue.

The new shuttle service is operational Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m., and two shuttles are in use during peak class hours. Students may catch the shuttle at four stops—in front of University Hall, between the Science Building and Allgood Hall, at Christenberry Field House, and at University Village. "I'm looking forward to not having to search or wait for a parking place," says Lakeisha Forbes, a senior communications major. "I think I'll start parking at Christenberry Field House and taking the shuttle to the main campus." Echoing that plan is Alexis Ward, a sophomore pre-med major, who says this is one of the best things that could have happened for the university and for those students who do not have vehicles. "I do not have a car, and last semester, I found it very difficult at times to get to class," says Ms. Ward. "So having access to a shuttle throughout the day is very convenient for me." "The students of Augusta State asked the institution for this service, and we are thrilled to finally be able to go forward with it," says Karl Munschy, director of ASU's Business Services. "We believe the shuttle will alleviate the demand for transportation between the campuses and also that it will reduce the parking demand on the Walton Way campus." "The benefit will far outweigh the approximately $10 more per semester that students are currently paying," he says. The $35 fee will cover parking as well as provide the continued free use of the Augusta Public Transit buses. "I don't know how often I've heard students complain about the parking or get angry because they have to wait for someone to leave before they can park. This new shuttle service will definitely change the parking situation," he adds.
ASU Hosts 2009 Science Olympiad National Tournament
Thousands of middle and high school students from nearly every state
competed in the 2009 Science Olympiad National Tournament, which ASU hosted. This is only the second time that the national event has been held in Georgia; the first was at Georgia Institute of Technology in 1996. The event had an economic impact of about $1.5 million on the Augusta area. Sponsors that helped make the event successful included the city of Augusta, AT&T, PCS Nitrogen, Georgia Power/Southern Company, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, WFXG Fox 54, WJBF News Channel 6, Bridgestone Firestone, CH2MHill, Lockheed Martin, Johnson-Lashober, Energy Solutions, and Washington Group Interntional; also, Sodexho, Milt Stombler, AGS, Klein Schmidt, Solvay Advanced Polymer, and William Wansley. An event to acknowledge sponsors and start the countdown to the Science Olympiad was held in the D. Douglas Barnard, Jr., amphitheatre prior to the event.

ASU CAMPUS NOTES Russell E. Blanchard Speaker Series By Kathy Schofe What to do and What not to do could
be the subtitle for this year's Russell E. Blanchard Speaker Series on Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility, as two speakers share very different points of view, based on their personal experiences. The series presents author Adam Shepard in a program on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 2:30 p.m. and Aaron Beam, the former CFO and co-founder of HealthSouth, on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 6 p.m. Both programs, presented by the James M. Hull College of Business, are free and will take place in the Jaguar Student Activities Center Ballroom. Adam Shepard, author of Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25 and the Search for the American Dream, will talk about his own experiences that are the subject of his book. Taking $25 and no help from family or friends, Mr. Shepard moved to a homeless shelter in another state to prove that attaining the American dream is still possible. In his book, Mr. Shepard writes, "I am really, really frustrated with the poor attitudes that seem to have swept over my peer group. Frustrated with hearing 'I don't have' rather than 'Let's see what I can do with what I do have.' So, I have decided to demonstrate that it doesn't have to be that way." Aaron Beam, Jr., will share his story of beginning what became a $3.5 billion company and his subsequent involvement in bank fraud that landed him in prison. On his website, Mr. Beam writes that he enjoyed the rewards that corporate success brought until he was told to "fix" the books. His message contains a moral: "You have to stand up—or you'll be the guy that goes to prison and pays the price." He also writes, "I think others can learn from my story. From how I started a major company, how I got involved in the fraud while serving as Chief Financial Officer, and more importantly, the human story, the pain of going through a trial and going to prison." Marc Miller, dean of the Hull College, says he is excited about bringing these speakers to campus. About Aaron Beam, Dr. Miller says, "I believe that he will be able to tell our students, faculty, and friends 'what not to do.' I don't want to celebrate his success, but to learn from his costly mistakes and be able to send a message that ethical decision making is the cornerstone to long-term personal and organizational success."
Dr. Donna Wear and student Alyson Jennings study the endangered Shoals Spider Lily.
Biologists study an endangered species By Danielle Harris Researchers from Augusta State are
working to preserve the endangered Shoals Spider-lily that was first observed growing in the Savannah River in Augusta in 1773 by noted naturalist William Bartram. For almost two years, biology professor Donna Wear, Professor Emeriti Judy Gordon, and several students have studied the Hymenocallis coronaria (Shoals Spider-lily) in an effort to maintain and increase its population. According to Dr. Wear, the Spider-lily is a nocturnal and aquatic plant that is native to the southeastern region of the United States. A showy plant, it blooms for about 48 hours, and each flower opens during the evening and gives off a sweet fragrance. It has been found growing in 18 streams in Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia, with five of the streams being in Georgia. Although it may be abundant in some places, in others, whole populations have been wiped out because of the water quality. Because these plants are mostly found along river shoals, water levels play a major role in the survival of the plant. It is this knowledge and the location of the J. Strom Thurmond Dam on the Savannah River that inspired Dr. Wear and Dr. Gordon to begin
this research. "The purpose of this project is to study how the dam affects the flower's ability to populate, the survival of its seedlings against high water levels, and just how long pollen can remain viable on the plant,"
Alyson Jennings poses with the showy lillies.
says Dr. Wear. "If the dam causes levels to become too high, the water can remove the pollen from the plant which will stop or slow down pollination. Too much water can even wash away the seedlings which can also affect population growth." This semester, Dr. Wear, Dr. Gordon, and student Alyson Jennings are collecting pollen samples from 10 lilies at three intervals: 1) when the plant first opens,
2) 2 hours later, and 3) early in the morning. Pollen grains are placed in a special medium to stimulate germination. Later, Ms. Jennings observes the pollen under a compound microscope and checks for any sign of the growth of a pollen tube which is needed for pollination and fertilization to take place within the plant. During the course of this research, Ms. Jennings is also observing if lilies are able to self-pollinate. Each time pollen samples are taken from the plants, she will place some of the pollen from the anther onto the stigma. She then covers the plants with bags to allow time for pollination and fertilization. So far, Dr. Wear says the results from this part of the experiment remain inconclusive. For students interested in biology and environmental studies, Dr. Wear says this is a great way for them to gain hands-on experience that will not only help them academically, but better prepare them for their future careers. "Students that participate in this study as well as others offered at Augusta State leave with the experience and the knowledge that can make them better prepared and more valuable to potential employers," she adds.

I was told two people would work on my hair. I got there at 10:30am and didn't leave until 7:30pm. One person started on my hair, and at the end of the day, one person finished my hair. No one talked to me the entire time and they talked in French only. I knew they were saying mean things about the hair that I bought because I know some French. At one time the girl finally told me that the hair I bought was no good and it was hurting her fingers, that's why no one else would help her with the braids. She told her sister that she was going to start braiding the braids larger so that...
I had short hair. I wasn't told by me stylist that she couldn't grip my hair. She continued to twist my hair. No sooner than a week later, my twist in the back of my head started falling out. Even she couldn't grip it, I wish she would have said so!!!! Also, I got bumps in the front of my head due to the twist being tight!!
Ladies and gents, if you have short hair, make sure they tell you if they can grip your hair in order for the braids to stay.The twist were excellent!, but the pain from them was horrible. \r
