5 steps to get real results from your L&D programmes (Infographic)
Training is not enough to drive results. In order to make effective change, you must measure success and show proven proficiency. Remember when you learned to drive a car? It was a process -- a journey, in fact. It started with your enthusiasm for getting your driver's licenses and it carried you through a number of steps until you proved your proficiency with an examiner. The same journey required to become a proficient driver is the same that is required for achieving measurable and effective results.
Focusing on the proficiency journey for driving results, Kineo US has highlighted the 5 key steps to getting real L&D programme results. In the lead up to the free webinar hosted by Kineo Pacific and presented by Chip Cleary of Kineo US, on 10 February 2016, this infographic lays out the foundation and process needed to be successful.
When you are ready to take the next step and learn the model for a results-focused view on training, sign up for the "Training for Results: Is Your Training Effective" live webinar on 10 February 2016 at 11:00am (AEDT).

Surrey's Samantha Head was given a harsh lecture by her twin sister Johanna yesterday morning, and responded by shooting a course record 66 to lead the P4 Norwegian Masters at Oslo Golf Club.
With a flawless, six-birdie round, the 29-year-old led by two from the littleknown Spaniard Ana Larraneta and Lancashire's Kirsty Taylor, who had five birdies in her 68.
Winner of the 1999 Italian Open and last year's South African Masters, Head admitted she had been unusually nervous before setting out. "I think it was because we're coming back from a five-week break," she explained. "But I spoke to Johanna, who plays in America, and she told me not to be so silly."
Laura Davies, making a rare appearance in Europe this season, was three under with five to play but had to settle for a disappointing 73.
Rotherham's Natalie Haywood will meet Laura Eastwood from Devon in today's final of the English Girls' Championship at Fairhaven, Lancashire.
Haywood raced to a five-hole lead against Faye Sanderson in the semi-finals, before being pegged back, but survived to win by 2 and 1. In the other semi-final Eastwood eliminated the holder, Alex Marshall, on the final green.
Meanwhile, at the North Wales club in Llandudno, Lucy Gould, 15, from Bargoed, added the Welsh girls' title to the Glamorgan crown she won earlier in the season, with a 4 and 3 victory over Rosy Vaughn-Jones from Cardigan.
Play had to be abandoned in the Welsh Amateur Championship at Conwy with two of the third-round games still to be completed. Tomorrow's final will be curtailed from the scheduled 36 holes to 18 to ensure that the championship finishes on time.

Web Can Help Take 'Oy Vey'Out of Planning Big Day
Bridal magazines and Web sites like TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com overflow with designer dresses, couture cakes, haute honeymoon destinations and dreamy reception ideas. But even the best-organized bride will tell you there is so much more to consider when planning a Jewish wedding — from picking the challah to contemplating a dip in the mikveh (ritual bath).
When Sara Schwimmer-Marcus, owner of online retailer PopJudaica (popjudaica.com), planned her own wedding in 2006, she found herself spending hours on Google, leaping from one site to another to track down creative ideas for chuppahs, venue information and details about Jewish traditions. There was no one-stop Web site that would allow her to shop, get ideas, track down vendors and network with other Jewish brides-to-be. Schwimmer-Marcus found there was still a void three years later, and this past April she launched JewishWeddingNetwork.com, with the tag line: "Take the 'oy vey' out of planning your big day."
The Web site features a glossary of Jewish wedding traditions, a vendor directory (so far only four listed for all of California) and a special offers section with discounts on wedding products and services. But the centerpiece of the site is its social-networking component — the Jewish Brides Blog, where women can ask questions, share dress photos and exchange ideas, like vendors that worked (or didn't), honeymoon plans or just the ups and downs of planning.
"Jewish brides coming from different observances, geographic locations and ages can share information as they go through the planning process — from rings and dresses to more serious matters like the mikveh, existing relationships with their families, finances and anything that comes up when planning a wedding," Schwimmer-Marcus said.
Women provide support for one another — playfully kvetching, consoling and celebrating.
In a recent post, "Slowww Down," Courtney S. ponders whether she's rushing with the planning and missing important moments:
"Why am I in such a rush to have everything here, now, today? Yes, I've enjoyed every second of wedding planning — but have I given myself the chance to enjoy every second of our engagement? I hate that I am rushing through every step, every second, to get to the big day. I realize that I need to stop, take a look around and breathe it all in."
The blog received a major boost in May when Schwimmer-Marcus scored her first celebrity post with "Blossom" actress Mayim Bialik, who discusses details of her Aug. 31, 2003, nuptials.
"Prior to the wedding, I had studied with an Orthodox kallah teacher to learn everything there was to know and decide later what I wanted to take on. Surprisingly, I got a lot out of it, and I ended up taking on pretty much all of the customs and traditions. During our engagement period, we were not touching at all (we had not been shomer negiah [observant of laws restricting physical contact] prior) and that was actually neat," Bialik writes.
Bialik had contacted and became friends with Schwimmer-Marcus after a televised segment about PopJudaica appeared on The Jewish Channel.
"My mom and I [were interviewed about] Passover traditions," Schwimmer-Marcus said. "My mother was showing off one of her table centerpiece designs telling the Passover story using Barbie dolls — dressing Ken as Moses, Barbie as Miriam and so forth. As my mom pointed out the individual dolls in the centerpiece, I pointed out one of the dolls used was actually a "Blossom" doll based on the character Mayim played back in the 1980s."
Bialik's post is the first of what is expected to become an ongoing series of featured wedding stories, including those of prominent Jews. One celebrity Schwimmer-Marcus is hoping to have guest blog in the near future is Ivanka Trump, who is converting to Judaism prior to her marriage to New York Observer owner Jared Kushner.
Schwimmer-Marcus herself blogs under the name of "The Mrs.," writing about such topics as her personal mikveh experience, new takes on the classic "Hava Nagilah" and the chuppah.
As traffic at the site picks up, The Mrs. is noticing a trend she wasn't expecting when she first launched two months ago — guys.
"While Jewish brides are starting to come to this site more regularly, I am also seeing input from grooms, as well as already married couples. This says a lot to me about how important a resource can be to a lot of people," Schwimmer-Marcus said.

Is the cover of the NY Daily News too graphic or is it just a reality that needs to be seen by the world?
As the world comes to grips with yet another horrific terrorist attack at the hands of Islamic extremists, as seen Friday in Paris, some in the media are taking a more straightforward approach to such attacks by showing the actual carnage.
A preview of the front page of the New York Daily News shows multiple dead bodies lying on the ground amid pools of blood — a highly disturbing photo that captures the reality of the bloodbath that took place when terrorists, reportedly shouting Allahu Akbar, attacked residents of the City of Light.

5 Skills you need to know
There's nothing sexier than an independent woman. Here are five skills you should know — and how to learn them.
Do you know how to cook a three-course dinner? Change a tyre? From soothing a crying baby to saving a life, here are five essential everyday skills you need to have in your repertoire.
Change a tyre
You've sprung a flat on a deserted road — what are you going to do? Before you answer "call NRMA", your phone is dead and it's out of service, too. Looks like you're going to have to change that tyre yourself. Here's how.
First, you need to make sure your car isn't going to roll away. That means put the handbrake on, get it onto a flat surface and use bricks, a chunk of wood or a metal wheel chock to block the wheels at the opposite end of the car from the end that is going to be raised.
If you've got a scissor jack you're about to find out why you've been doing all those pull-ups at the gym. Pop the jack under the side of your car and start cranking until the tyre is off the ground.
Use a screwdriver or a stick to pry the cover off your wheel, just like a paint lid. Then, find the lug nuts (there should be about five). Use the wrench (it should be in the same place as your spare wheel) to loosen the nuts by turning the bar counter clockwise.
Take the lug nuts completely off by hand and put them somewhere safe. Take the wheel in both hands and pull it towards you. Once it is off roll it to the rear of your car so it's out of your way.
Then pop the spare tire onto your car by pushing it onto the lug bolts. Screw the lug nuts back on with your hand.
Lower the jack and get your car safely back on the ground. Remove the jack and put it near the discarded tyre. Tighten the lug nuts with the wrench, replace the hubcap (just whack it back in place with the heel of your hand or your foot).
Make sure you put the old tyre, jack and wrench back in your car. Then drive to your nearest mechanic — don't go above 80 kilometres per hour just to be safe — to get a new tyre fitted.
Soothe a baby
You've been handed a newborn and it starts to do what all babies do — cry. Don't panic — newborn crying jags are inevitable and if the wee one isn't hungry then it's time to show off your amazing baby-wrangling skills.
According to Dr Harvey Karp, an internationally-renowned paediatrician and author of The Happiest Baby On The Block, infants fresh out of the cozy confines of the womb crave constant holding and soothing. In fact, what that squealing newborn you're holding is missing is the elusive "fourth trimester" — a period of around three months where they adjust to life on the outside, demanding (and needing) a serious dose of attention, comfort and food.
Baby just won't stop crying? Try these tips on how to treat colic >>
So if you're holding a crying baby and you're sure it's not hungry then you're going to need to comfort it. But just what comforts a distressed newborn? Why, the sound and the feel of its mother's womb, of course.
To calm a crying newborn you need to recreate the sensations of the womb. To make it easy, Dr Karp suggests implementing the five S's — swaddling, swaying, shushing, side-lying and sucking. Grab that baby and swaddle it tight, pop it over your shoulder, sway like an elephant while making a shushing noise. If this isn't enough, cradle the baby on its side in your arms and give it something to suck — a clean dummy or finger — and you should have a tear-free newborn in your arms within minutes.
Cook a three-course dinner
A three-course meal traditionally consists of an entree, a main and a dessert. Even if you're not ready to be on the next season of MasterChef you can still whip up a stellar three-course meal in a night with a little preparation.
First off, consider the season you're cooking in. There's nothing more frustrating that sitting down to prepare a meal that centres on fresh peaches in the middle of winter. Not only will your produce — if you can find it — be sub-par but you'll waste a lot of time at the market looking for items that simply aren't going to be there.
Next, make sure each course fits together as a whole. If you're making pasta for an entree, choose Italian flavours for your main and dessert. Don't go popping a stir-fry or a brownie into the mix — it just won't work and will confuse your guests.
If you're a MasterChef fan you'll know the importance of balancing textures and tastes on each plate. But it's also important to balance each dish in the overall concept of the meal. Put simply, if you've cooked a heavy main, finish it off with a light and fresh dessert.
Once your menu is planned, make sure you read each recipe thoroughly first and make special note of preparation and cooking times. You don't want to be making a dessert that needs to be refrigerated overnight two hours before you serve it so make sure you know what's expected at least the day before so you're not caught off-guard.
Finally, while a fancy, fiddly meal might look great, the best dishes come from the heart. Cook what you love to eat as you'll enjoy the process much more and if something goes wrong you'll at least know how to fix it.
Make a decision
Ever been paralysed by options? Sure, you might be able to have it all but you certainly can't have it all at once. Here's how to move on and make a decision that you won't regret.
Making a decision one way means missing out on its alternative. While you might be determined to make the "right" decision, if you're paralysed when it comes to making a choice it could be because you're worried about missing out on an alternative.
According to life coach Martha Beck you need to break through the deadlock by putting aside your emotions.
Are you a dreamer? Here's how to turn your dreams into reality >>
Put together a list of costs and benefits to each decision then balance it with your passion. "It's impossible to rationally calculate opportunity costs because life is unpredictable, says Professor Beck. "Decision-making is always a gamble — people who try to decide with the mind alone, who place no fair in their heart's desires, are doomed to stall and fuss, compare and contrast, forever insisting that just a little more knowledge will make the choice clear. It won't," she says.
"Are you in earnest?" asks Faust. "Seize this very minute. What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
Save a life
Do you know how to keep someone alive in an emergency?
First aid training and CPR are valuable life skills everyone should know. You never know when you might need to save a choking toddler or keep a car accident victim alive.
Are you a safety-conscious parent? Here are the safety certifications all parents need >>
CPR can be life-saving first aid and increases an individual's chance of survival if started soon after their heart has stopped beating. If no CPR is performed, that same individual will become brain dead due to lack of oxygen within three to four minutes.
While extensive training is ideal, even knowing the basics could be the difference between life and death for someone suffering from cardiac arrest. Here's what you need to know to potentially save a life.
Before you begin CPR you need to make sure the person you intend to perform CPR on actually needs it. If they're unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing normally and not moving then CRP should be administered as quickly as possible.
If CPR is necessary, check for danger before approaching the individual. Send for help by calling for an ambulance then open their airway by gently tilting their head back. Check for foreign matter in their mouth — if you see any roll them onto their side, open their mouth and quickly remove it.
Next, check for breathing. If the person is not breathing it's time to start cardiac compressions. You can do this by placing the heel of one hand on the lower half of the person's breastbone then placing your other hand on top, interlocking your fingers. Press down firmly and smoothly, compressing to 1/3 chest depth, 30 times.
After 30 compressions, open the person's airway by tilting and lifting their chin. Close their nostrils with your finger and thumb, put your mouth over theirs, then give two full breaths. Make sure their chest is rising and falling — if it's not, you probably have a leak so make sure you have their nostrils closed tightly and get a good seal around their mouth before you breathe again.
Repeat the cycle of two breaths to 30 compressions until help arrives.

CRISFIELD -- Bluepoints Co., a soft-shell crab packing house, has reduced operations; and local residents fear it may close.
"We have temporarily ceased processing product. We are re-evaluating the operation," said Luke Roule, a spokesman for First Republic Corp. of America, the New York-based insurance company that bought the business, earlier known as Nanny Shanty, in 1988.
He declined to comment when asked if the company would close or to say how many people it employs. Harry Phoebus, president of the Crisfield Chamber of Commerce, estimated 15 to 35 people work for the packing house, a figure that fluctuates with the crab season.

Report says pharmas pay quacks to hawk drugs
ProPublica's "Dollars for Docs" project, produced in conjunction with NPR, PBS's Nightly Business Report, the Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and Consumer Reports, corralled 2009 and 2010 company data from seven pharmas on payments to physicians into a searchable database and added information on sanctions against some doctors.
ProPublica looked at more than a quarter billion dollars paid to 17,700 healthcare professionals by the seven companies in 2009 and 2010 for the report. In reviewing physician licensing records for the 15 most populous states plus three others, reporters found that "more than 250 speakers" had been sanctioned. Forty had received FDA warnings for research misconduct, lost hospital privileges or been convicted of crimes. Another 20 had had two or more malpractice judgments or settlements.
"Their misconduct included inappropriately prescribing drugs, providing poor care or having sex with patients," wrote the report's authors, Pulitzer Prize winners Charles Ornstein and Tracy Weber. "Some of the doctors even lost their licenses."
The report also features a sidebar on whistleblower lawsuits against pharmas for allegedly marketing products illegally. An embeddable app lets readers search for payments by their doctor's name and state.
"This is the best organized slam on medical marketing I have seen in my 20 years following this business," said Coalition for Healthcare Communication executive director (and former professor of journalistic ethics) John Kamp. "It is not responsible journalism. It is orchestrated defamation."A note by ProPublica managing editor Stephen Engelberg calls it "part of a broader effort to expand the possibilities of collaborative journalism," and invites readers to take part by looking up their physician and sharing their personal experiences – if, for example, they felt pushed to take a branded drug.
George Dunston, whose firm Obsidian HDS tracks HCP payments for hospitals and medical schools, praised the ProPublica database, saying it "could be an effective tool for allowing consumers to search data on their own personal physicians."
Dunston has noticed some trends of his own, namely the increasing number of physicians collecting such payments—his database includes more than 30,000—as well as the emergence of a roughly defined set of physicians getting paid in 2010 vs. 2009. "We're noticing the same numbers and in many cases the same physicians," he told MM&M. "It says to me that there is probably a consistent population of physicians on a year-by-year basis that are engaged in speaking and consulting, which is not surprising because these are 'leading physicians' and thought leaders don't change overnight.""By 2013, all drug companies will be required to publicly disclose payments to doctors," writes Engelberg, referring to requirements under the sunshine provisions of the Affordable Care Act. "But we saw no reason for readers to wait three years for information that is already beginning to become available to anyone who could penetrate and scrape data from pharma's labyrinthine websites." Many pharmas have, over the past few years, begun posting data on payments to physicians publicly -- though, as ProPublica noted, the data available varies widely by company.
ProPublica launched in 2007, funded largely by the Sandler Foundation and established to do the sort of expensive investigative journalism that downsized news outlets increasingly can't afford to do – and give most of it away for free to news outlets. Pew Charitable Trusts, which has promoted conflict of interest policies at medical institutions and pushed for passage of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, donated $1 million to the group in June.

Neal Martin 96-98 "The 2011 has a clear silvery gold hue, perhaps not quite as deep as I recall the 2010 last year. The bouquet is very fragrant and well‐defined, with scents of wild honey, honeysuckle and a touch of vanilla. It is a refined, sedate and beautifully focused bouquet that does not need to show off. The palate displays superb weight in the mouth, even though at first it seems almost understated. Yet there is clearly a high level of spicy, botrytized fruit with notes of honey, orange zest and a touch of mandarin. There is no explosion on the finish; the 2011 is rather a lesson in control, complexity and nuance. It is utterly seductive. Drink 2016‐2040+."
James Molesworth 96-99 "The en primeur sample of Château d'Yquem Sauternes 2011 is also presented at Cheval-Blanc. Its usual classic blend of 80/20 Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc captures the beautiful cut and freshness of the vintage, with blazing pineapple, white peach, yellow apple and melon flavors that are remarkably light on their feet. Blanched ginger root, cherry blossom and light citrus notes dance through the finish. The wine is already showing terrific range and purity in a very, very stylish frame. It should give the stunning 2001 and authoritative '09 a run for their money."
Jane Anson 19 points "Layered, voluptuous wine with great precision and very long finish. Same sugar levels as 2010 and in similar style with lifted acidity. Classic, majestic Yquem crafted to age for decades. Drink 2023-2062."

Time Management
One of the most important skill sets that must be developed by the new nursing student is time management. It is a skill that all students must acquire, but nursing students tend to be young childbearing females ages 18-30, who have at least a part time job. There are many older women (ages 40+) with career job experience who are changing and making nursing a second career choice. They are sandwiched between school-age children and elderly parents needing their assistance. Both younger and older students may have church, community, and recreational obligations. Both groups regularly have to juggle these divergent responsibilities. Enrolling in school can add another layer of "to-do's" to an already hectic life schedule. But the rewards of earning an advanced (or another) degree far outweigh the rigors of the matriculation. Our Nursing Student Success (NSS) portal will give specific suggestions for managing one's time effectively. These techniques have been selected form various online websites, including results of evidence-based research publicized in online health journals.
-T.I.M.E (Techniques ~ Invest ~ Money ~ Energy)
Once enrolled in a BSN nursing program, invite your family to assist you with all habits that will help you succeed in school: managing time, taking tests, forming good study habits, and having positive attitudes. Joining a study group with fellow students will aid success.

Hey everyone! My name is Kerry Magro and I'm very excited to share with you all my video series called Kerry's Korner! This series started last year as a way to highlight World Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd along with Autism Speaks Light It Up Blue Initiative! Since than we have hosted videos discussing several different autism related topics along with highlighting amazing individuals on the spectrum!
Posting videos such as these have meant a great deal to me. When I started Graduate School at Seton Hall in September 2011, I used to post a daily video on my blog MyAutismMyVoice.com to discuss my experiences on the spectrum! I was diagnosed with autism when I was 4 and having a platform to share my experiences and also give tips to help others has been amazing.
This year with April soon approaching I'm glad to be back on board to share even more videos with you all on how we are lighting it up blue this year for Autism Speaks! If you have an autism related story you'd like to share on a Kerry's Korner episode please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll see what I can do!
Thanks everyone and remember this April 2nd to Light It Up Blue!!!

All About ELS
History Emmanuel Lutheran School (ELS) began in 1958 as a private Christian school in Asheville, NC, serving students from infants through 8th grade. It is operated as a non-profit, church-sponsored education ministry of Emmanuel Lutheran Church,which is a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
Emmanuel Lutheran School does what other schools of high quality do. Students are learning concepts, gaining understanding and developing life skills. They are involved in a variety of learning activities taught by qualified teachers.
A Christian School in Asheville, NC
What then, makes us different, uniquely different? Emmanuel Lutheran School is a Christian School! As a Christian School in Asheville, NC, our primary purpose is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Helping children and adults to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, their personal Savior. We provide a nurturing atmosphere where children can hear God's Word daily and learn how much He cares for them. ELS is a place where Christian teachers can help children practice Christian living and strengthen Christian values. ELS is a place of caring that goes beyond the classroom and beyond school hours.
Emmanuel Lutheran School is a place of positive intangibles where; Children learn right from wrong, and practice courtesy and concern for others.
- Children are taught without question that each person has high worth and is a unique creation of God, possessing special talents and abilities, set on this earth for a special purpose.
- Each individual is important.
- Emmanuel Lutheran School is also a place where mistakes are made by both adults and children, where conflicts arise, and where behavior, at times, may not always be God-pleasing. Yet, because of that, it is a place of forgiveness, of saying, "I'm sorry," of learning from mistakes, of working together to overcome problems, of helping one another. That is who we are... and we are privileged to join with parents in this educational partnership. For more information, please email us at email@example.com or contact the school office at (828) 281-8182.
Statement of Purpose Emmanuel Lutheran School exists to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. In order to accomplish this in an educational setting, Emmanuel provides a Christ-centered rigorous education for al children, churched and un-churched, without distinction to socio-economic status, race, national or ethnic origin or religious creed. We believe that Emmanuel Lutheran School equips our children to succeed in their academic pursuits, and to become productive members of church and society.
Our Mission Statement Emmanuel Lutheran School provides an academically challenging, Christ-centered education in a caring enviroment. Our mission is to prepare children For Today, For Tomorrow, Forever.
National Lutheran Schools Accreditation (NLSA)
Faculty Emmanuel's faculty is both experienced and dedicated. Each K-8 teacher has a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. Teachers have a professional plan to focus on individual skill development as well as a personal dedication to continually strengthen the school's overall academic program.
Student Body A majority of the ELS student body resides in Buncombe County. ELS parents are those in search of a highly academic and Christ-centered school for their children. One-third of ELS students are members of Emmanuel Lutheran Church; the remaining two-thirds are members of other area churches or are looking for a church home.
School Colors & Mascot

Class Size Capacity
K-8th grade: 10-20 students per class

Last night, robots shut down the live broadcast of one of science fiction's most prestigious award ceremonies. No, you're not reading a science fiction story. In the middle of the annual Hugo Awards event at Worldcon, which thousands of people tuned into via video streaming service Ustream, the feed cut off — just as Neil Gaiman was giving an acceptance speech for his Doctor Who script, "The Doctor's Wife." Where Gaiman's face had been were the words, "Worldcon banned due to copyright infringement." What the hell?
Very unfortunately at 7:43 p.m. Pacific time, the channel was automatically banned in the middle of an acceptance speech by author Neil Gaiman due to "copyright infringement." This occurred because our 3rd party automated infringement system, Vobile, detected content in the stream that it deemed to be copyrighted. Vobile is a system that rights holders upload their content for review on many video sites around the web. The video clips shown prior to Neil's speech automatically triggered the 3rd party system at the behest of the copyright holder.

News and Announcements
President's Notes 1.8October 20, 2011
The College learned at the completion of the NLNAC (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission) three-day site visit (Oct. 18-20) that the visitors would recommend a judgment of compliance for the Undergraduate Nursing Program. There are two more levels of review before the final decision will be made, and the completion of the review process and the final decision will come in April. Congratulations to Dean Penny Glynn, our Nursing Department, and Professor Nancy Bittner who led the effort! This news at the end of October echoes the good news we received at the end of September that the Education Department also received very positive feedback and many compliments to its program at the conclusion of its accreditation visit, with the final decision expected in November.
As these notes are posted, Wendy Lement, PhD, Patricia McCauley, MSN, RN, and Jan Tuxbury, DNP, FNP-BC, are making a presentation at The 38TH Annual National Conference on Professional Nursing Education and Development in Baltimore, Md., regarding our interdisciplinary development of a live sequence on death and dying to help educate nursing students. Our Theater and Nursing Departments collaborated to develop the sequence, and it was such a success it's been travelling ever since! The Conference runs from Oct. 20 to 23, and of the seventy-four (74) poster presentations on the program, Regis College will be the only School of Nursing, Science and Health Professions from Massachusetts presenting.
While we were busy preparing for Inauguration Week, the Regis Theater Department was making sure Regis students took advantage of a wonderful run of professional performances in Boston early this fall. Associate Professor Frans Rijnbout took a group of students to see a new production of "Porgy and Bess" and other plays. Speaking of Inauguration Week, may I refer you to an article about the talks given by Dr. Lisa Lynch, Dean of the Heller School at Brandeis, and me on October 5.
Assistant Clinical Professor of Nursing, Mary Ann Hart, Director of the Health Administration Master's program, is proud to be presenting the Fall Health Professions Lecture this evening in College Hall Foyer at 7 p.m. with Jim O'Connell, MD, President of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), on his innovative, non-traditional program for caring for the homeless, improving the quality of health care they receive and, at the same time, saving costs. See more on Dr. O'Connell's work.
This coming weekend, Professor Mary Anne Vetterling of the Spanish Department will be co-chairing a conference on Ecocriticism and Christianity in Literature here (October 21-23, 2011), with Lucía Ortiz, Kreg Segall, Andrea Humphrey, Raffaele Florio, and former faculty member Joan Hallissey participating. Mary Anne describes the conference as "exciting, esoteric and relevant." Download the full conference program.
Associate Professor Julia Lisella, Department of English, presented the first event this year in the "Writer's Read" Series on October 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the FAC, with a reading by Joy Jordan-Lake who is the author of five books, including Blue Hole Back Home, winner of the Christy Award for Best First Novel, and is currently working on a novel set in Charleston, South Carolina, and Boston.
Lauren Forcucci of the Political Science Department and First Year Seminar faculty will present her research on Fascism at an academic conference being held at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI, this weekend. Professor Forcucci has also put together another "white sock drive" to benefit Operation Troop Support.
Faculty Handbook
A draft of a revised and updated Faculty Handbook should be available to all faculty for their review on MOODLE later this week. Meanwhile, I am looking forward to the discussion of the proposed faculty standing committee structure, which is one of the pending matters in the revised draft, at the Faculty Meeting on Friday, October 21.
Search For Academic Dean, Slaess
In late September my office launched the process to begin searching for a new Academic Dean, School of Liberal Arts, Education and Social Sciences. We contracted with the Hyatt-Fennell search firm in Conway, PA. Faculty Council is now developing criteria to establish the search committee.
Regis College Haiti Project
The Advisory Board of the Regis College Haiti Project (RCHP) met on the evening of October 11 and prepared for the trip of Project-related Regis faculty and staff to Haiti in November to continue the nursing education program for our first cohort of nursing faculty students and to continue establishing internal networking to governmental and university agencies in Haiti. Of course, we were all basking in the recent visit to campus of Loune Viaud, one of our honorary degree recipients on October 5 and PIH Director of Strategic Planning and Operations for Zanmi Lasante, as well as former Director of Nursing, Haitian Ministry of Health, Maud Duvilaire, and numerous friends from PIH. Our web pages on the Haiti Project have been wonderfully updated by Alexis Przybylski and Nancy Street and you can find all the news here.
Graduate Students
New graduate student Ashley Pratt, who comes from Maine and is pursuing her Masters Degree in Nursing as well as her Women's Health Nurse Practitioner certification, began a delightful blog in September all about Regis, the experiences of graduate students, and being in greater Boston – all the way through taking the first round of exams and photos of Regis students and faculty running the Tufts 10 K on October 11. See .
Undergraduates Colleen Ryan '13 and Katelyn Natale '14 have started an Irish Dance Team that meets on Thursday evenings to practice.
The College welcomes two new student activities groups, the Black Students Organization led by Ursula Gaymes (more about this group shortly), and the new politics club called "Global Politics and Events" in which a very enthusiastic group of students has been developing programming. Faculty member Lauren Forcucci will serve as faculty advisor to the new politics club.
Nana Kwarteng was NECC rookie of the week for men's soccer.
Kate Davies, President of the Regis College Glee Club, invited me to a Hallowe'en Dinner the Glee Club prepared for the Alumnae Chorus in the FAC Atrium last evening, and I attended with pleasure. In the absence of their beloved director, Dr. Sheila Prichard, who is recuperating from surgery, members of the Glee Club and the Alumnae Chorus are rallying together.
Condolences and prayers are in order for the repose of the soul of Carole Remick, '55, former Regis Director of Alumnae, who passed away on October 18, 2011, Feast of St. Luke, after a valiant struggle with brain cancer. Long time friend and Regis College Trustee, Chris McCann '60, faithfully accompanied Carole during these months of illness. In recent years Carole was again a familiar figure on campus as she directed the Regis College – UMass-Boston High School Journalism project. Carole's funeral will be held on Saturday, November 5 at 11 am at Star of the Sea Church in Marblehead, MA. May she rest in peace.
Nancy Hinchcliffe Duphily DNP, RNC, of the Nursing Department, School of Health and Environment, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, MA 01854, had an article entitled, "The Experience of Novice Nurse Faculty in an Associate Degree Education Program," which was based on her dissertation at Regis, published in the Journal of Teaching and Learning in Nursing (2011: 6, 124–130).
In early October Dawn-Marie Driscoll '68 was named by Strategic Insight as one of sixty "most influential visionaries" of the U.S. mutual fund industry in the past quarter century. Driscoll is a nationally recognized business ethics leader. She was formerly a law partner at Palmer & Dodge in Boston and served for more than a decade as vice president of corporate affairs and general counsel of Filene's, the Boston-based department store chain. Currently she serves as an independent director of both DWS Investments and Sun Capital Advisors Trust mutual funds. Dawn-Marie also holds an honorary Doctor of Arts from Regis College, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Suffolk University, an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science from Bentley University McCallum Graduate School of Business, and appointment as Visitor-in-Residence at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.
Registrar Esther Ghazarian and Business Director Steve Savas have been hard at work with their "Ione-stop-shop" steering committee – including a trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend a NACUBO ISSP conference on the subject. Among other things they learned on the trip were these facts about colleges and universities using a one-stop-shop model:
- One-stop-shop members are a very close and intimate group, they work hard, play hard and celebrate
- Front desk personnel are extremely customer-service orientated. Most schools put the best people on the front lines.
- Successful schools received a "Call for Change" from leadership that stimulated the initiative
- Having a sense of mission, a vision, and doing strategic planning are imperative to success.
This initiative integrates multiple student centered areas with the purpose of dramatically enhancing student customer service. Expectations include: 1) Dramatically improved customer service to student and parents; 2) Merging areas to enhance service delivery; and 3) Creating job enrichment for those employees directly involved. Vice President Paul Vaccaro, Enrollment Management and Marketing, has posted the WBZ "What's in Store?" video filmed in late September on the Regis College website. Also, there will be a prospective undergraduate student Open House on campus this coming Sunday, October 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
President's Activities
In the past three weeks, besides continuing to meet with numerous individual members of the faculty and the staff as well as the Directors' Council and several faculty groups or committees, I have met with the NEASC CIHE (Sept. 23); continued my work on the Metrowest STEM Advisory Board (Oct. 18); and met with Boston Globe education reporter Mary Carmichael (Oct. 11), Weston school officials (Oct. 12), and the representatives of Strategic Building Solutions, which has been conducting our facilities audit (Oct. 20). CDO Miriam Finn Sherman and I have also been meeting regularly to launch our plans and send letters to a number of friends of the College; we have already begun meeting with some. Also, I have begun serving (Oct. 11 and 19) on the task force overseeing the development, by September, 2012, of one unified co-educational college-preparatory school to be located in Brighton, MA, on the campus of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Historically Regis is deeply connected to MSJA, which is joining Trinity Catholic HS in Newton to become the site of "St. Joseph's Preparatory High School." In the coming year, Sister Rosemary Mulvihill, RSM, Regis Dean of Student Life and Ministry, will advise the task force on student life.
Campus Conversations
Yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 5:00 pm in the Lower Student Union, the newly created Black Student Organization hosted the first of several meetings open to the whole Regis community on the subjects of race, ethnicity, multiculturalism, and global perspectives in conjunction with Kermit Crawford, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology at Boston University, who is consulting with us this year. Last night's session showed the trailer of the soon-to-be-released film documentary "Dark Girls", which presented personal human experiences of skin color, hair, and the social effects of human judgments about physical appearance and race on self-concept, educational development, professional achievement, and marriage and family. A wonderful panel of speakers whose families originated from Louisiana, across the USA, Guatamala, and Pakistan then shared personal experiences and professional perspectives with an audience of over 150 students, faculty, staff and trustees, and opened up discussion as several students put it last night, "in being comfortable in your own skin about who you are." On the panel were Elaine Pinderhughes, MSW, Professor Emeritus at Boston College and author of "Understanding Race, Ethnicity and Power: The Key to Efficacy in Clinical Practice;" Jessica Henderson Daniel, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Children's Hospital, who received the Mamie and Kenneth Clark Award and Distinguished Contributions to Education Award from the American Psychological Association; Michelle Contreras, a Psychology Intern at Harvard Medical School with extensive experience working with human trafficking victims internationally; and Shamaila Khan, Ph.D., Director of the Haiti SERG Program at Boston Medical Center and the Boston University School of Medicine.
We at Regis have been cultivating a global diversity on campus, a worthwhile work-in-progress and already a remarkable achievement, and we recognize that our ongoing growth requires conscious discussion of some new perspectives and old cultural issues on what terms such as diversity actually mean or do not mean in an increasingly globalized culture when multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multiracial human beings are searching for and discovering common ground. I think the panel succeeded in helping our community do that. Regis students were terrifically articulate and insightful participants, and we shall continue the conversations. As I said in my last "President's Notes," Regis is, most of all, a learning community in which everyone here has an important part. This is our true strength.
President's Health Lecture Leadership Series
Reminder: The next panel in the President's Health Lecture Series will occur on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Upper Student Union Lounge. I will be moderating, and the topic will be "End of Life Issues: Decision, Cost and Ethical Dilemmas" with the following participants: B. Lachlan Forrow, MD, Physician Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Division of General Medicine and Primary Care; Eric Schultz, MBA, President/CEO, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care; Andrea Vicini, SJ, MD, PhD, Visiting Associate Professor in Theology, Boston College; Daniel P. Gorman, FNP-C, MSN, OCN, CRNI, Family Nurse Practitioner, Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
The next issue of the "President's Notes" will be out on November 3.

Why did you tittled it that way? It's very interesting, I can't match the meaning of love with this drawing.
Amazing, congrats ^^
Amazing, congrats ^^
This is creepy, but I like it! It reminds me of those babies in the video game version of "Dante's Inferno". It just fits so perfectly! And it's traditional artwork, which makes it so much better in my mind. You're quite talented and I'm going to look at your other works now.
I'm go'n to up chuck
It is so giger-ish
Wonderful work - congrats - lovely piece.

|Variety Playhouse - Atlanta, GA
|22 October 2003
|by Wheat Williams
Like a lot of folks who are coming to this web site, I went to see Rick on his current American solo tour. Like a lot of us Americans, I am quite familiar with Rick's work but am not a hard-core fan, so I'm writing this review from that perspective and including a lot of background information. If Rick is coming to your town I highly recommend that you take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a truly entertaining and astonishing evening.
It was magical. It was like Rick invited you and just a few other friends to his living room, and you were all sitting round, kicking back and drinking tea. He told hilarious story after story from his many years in the entertainment biz, and every now and then he'd wander over to the piano and BLOW YOUR MIND.
I managed to be there behind the theater at 6:30 pm to see Rick arrive for the soundcheck. I was empty-handed but lots of people brought their LP sleeves from Six Wives, King Arthur, or No Earthly Connection for him to autograph, and he was gracious. One guy had a program from the 1974 Madison Square Garden performance of Journey to the Center of the Earth (with full orchestra and choir). Me, well, the first time I saw Rick was with Yes in 1979 at the Omni in Atlanta (I was 14) and I have never had the pleasure of seeing Rick solo before (who in Atlanta has?).
There were about 800 people in the Variety Playhouse, and they were rapturously attentive.
Despite Rick Wakeman's being a household name and television celebrity in England , and having sold not only tens of millions of albums with Yes but also tens of millions of solo albums, Wakeman seems perpetually broke. He has had three failed marriages, owns no house, and I have heard that he had a decade of bad investments resulting in felonious tax judgements that make him the Willie Nelson of the British Isles. He could make a totally factual "Spinal Tap II" movie composed entirely of personal experiences touring with Yes, solo and the English Rock Ensemble, and he shared some of these stories with us at the show. Every side-splitting vignette was so memorable I could quote it to you almost word for word, but I won't, because you just had to be there.
In between stories Rick played solo. Sometimes he was sitting at an acoustic baby-grand piano, and sometimes he was standing at a rig of four 88-key electronic keyboards, some triggering a rack of about four synths and samplers. Generally he played abridged solo arrangements and medleys from his recordings, but he also played some legit classical stuff. No singers or lyrics.
Here's a set list from an earlier show contributed by a fan at Rick's web site. The pieces and order were almost the same for the show I saw. I have added my annotations in brackets.

My postings on this subject have been construed as being an answer to questions raised, but they were meant as questions. They were meant to get people to ask themselves and others what is going on. My bias in this is colored by my experience, but I don't know enough about the specific issues to say who is right or wrong, just to ask if it's being done the right way.

I found your post interesting and beleive there have been many changes in masonry over the millentium. However, I think the brethren of Halcyon, as well as the GL of OH have lost what the basis of Freemasonry is about. Halcyon in not adhearing to the Ancient charges and the GL in not working with their constinuat Lodges to find an equitable solution. My fear is that the "newer" members have no consept of what the fraternaty was founded on. Halcyon and the members thereof are now clandistine to the rest of Freemasonry in North America and elsewhere.

Finding a rainbow is perhaps the most difficult part of the task. The rainbow appears only in certain conditions and the nature chooses to show them very rare. So, if you are on a rainbow hunt make sure to look for them around waterfalls, fountains and sprinkles.
The background is very important for this type of shot. The rainbows are not solid so they will have to be captured on a background that will enhance their appearance.
Ideal for this purpose would be a blurry background filled with dark colors (dark clouds, mountains, rocks). There are situations in which you cannot change the background but you can modify the angle from which you take the shot, focusing it on the part of the rainbow visible on the best background.
The composition of this type of picture will require a lot of attention. The rainbow is a spectacular phenomenon but the surroundings can enhance its beauty.
As positioning goes, it is very important to accurately frame the rainbow and the scenery inside your picture. Consider the main attraction points and keep in mind the rules of the composition.
The space limits of the rainbow – the places where the rainbow reaches the earth and the sky – are very important and you must capture them inside the photo.
Lenses used for such a photo can be very different. You can experiment using several types so you can see which one gives the best result. The wide angle lenses can offer you very impressive images but also the focalization on a certain point. The focus must be placed on the points where the rainbow intersects different composition elements.
Multiple rainbows are a rare event. If you happen to come across one or to meet a rainbow that has an extra layer, make sure you capture both and your picture will become even more spectacular.
If you own a polarizing filter, try and experiment with it and see what kind of effects you get. In the picture will appear different color saturations, reflections or contrast levels which can influence the image and underline the rainbow.
You should know that some apertures can have a small impact on the rainbow. If you choose a small aperture, the image will have a larger depth bringing the subject even more in the center of attention.
When shooting the landscape, the camera must be steady and this is even more important when you capture a rainbow. So remember to take a tripod with you when you go hunting for rainbows.

Recent reviews
Very Good 8.2 From 81 reviews
Nice clean rooms, the inside of the building looks very new. Toilets and showers are shared so there is less privacy but it satisfied my stay. Short walk from the train station was a highlight too.
The hotel itself is very nice, clean, looks newly built. The room itself while small, had a table and small sink. What I did not like was that the room had no wardrobe, or a so called japanese oshiire for storage. And the futon bed is not a real Japanese futon, the bottom part is some synthetic thick mattress that only replicates the idea of the traditional futon. Also, the room window opened to a sight of a cemetery, and even with the window open the nearby train line caused a lot of noise.
good & clean Inn. Good for value & reception is kind & helpful
We loved Chiyoda Inn. Japanese style rooms that are clean and comfortable with a very friendly staff that spoke perfect English and was very helpful. It was close to the train station too.
Good ryokan style hotel Very clean and nice decor Friendly staff Good location very close to subway and JR station, in quiet neighborhood with various restaurants and shops around. However due the closeness to the rail we could the trains from the room
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

This is another thing that bugs me. Apparently it bugs one of my work buddies, Erin.
It's when people use "quotation marks" when they're not really "necessary." Or in this case, misleading. It's not soup, it's "soup."
I understand they're usually just trying to add "emphasis" to their statement or signs. But there are countless other ways (correct ones, I might add) that will do the job better.
For more "unnecessary" quotations, go to the Unnecessary Quotes website. Be prepared to be disappointed.
Respectfully submitted,
