Did you know:

-That Philadelphia's public high school drop out rate is 50%?
-That obesity is an epidemic in teenagers?
-That hundreds of teens are working to win these fights and succeed in life, right here in Philly, by training to run a marathon?

A local non-profit youth program called Students Run Philly Style is currently in the running to win a huge award through the annual American Express Members Project contest (www.membersproject.com), and we need help pulling together some more local support.

Students Run is a mentoring program that takes students from neighborhoods all over the city and prepares them to complete the Philadelphia Marathon. It's not a traditional athletics program -- the kids who participate don't think of themselves as athletes before they begin, and they come from neighborhoods where violence is a problem and access to healthy food is really limited.

Students Run is currently #47 out of 1190 projects located throughout the world, so we actually have a shot at moving on to the next round. Click here to learn more and watch a video about Students Run:

We're trying to get more people in Philly to log-on and support us in this contest. We need lots of people to nominate the project to advance to the next round of judging. If you could help us spread the word, that would be fantastic. The deadline for nominations is September 1. People can vote here: http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/REMW3T

If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also learn more about Students Run on our website: http://www.nncc.us/studentsrun.html

Philadelphia, PA – Critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter Matt Duke will have his song “Spilt Milk”, from his sophomore album, Kingdom Underground (Rykodisc/MAD Dragon Records), featured on Lifetime’s award-winning series “Army Wives’” this Sunday August 17th at 10:00PM/EST. Kingdom Underground is set to be released in late September 2008.

Kingdom Underground is an impressive collection of ten pop songs that exude a playful quality while the youthful songwriter tackles serious issues. While the subject matter on some of these songs carries a lot of weight, Kingdom Underground is an undeniable pop record by a young (he’s 23), self-taught, modern day troubadour from South Jersey who has successfully mixed his philosophical observations and experiences with his intuitive pop/folk sensibilities. Duke, an avid reader and what some may call an old-soul, crafted an album that touches upon themes of spiritual unrest (“The Father, the Son, and the Harlot’s Ghost”, “A Happy Hooligan”), addiction (“I’ve Got Atrophy on the Brain”), and failed relationships (“Walk It Off”). Other tracks like “Rabbit”, recently featured on PerezHIlton.com, and “Opossum” showcase Duke’s amazing songwriting ability, as he uses animal imagery to address his own fears.

Each song brings its own unique sound that keeps the listener tuned in. Duke comments, “I think the vibe on the song ‘Sex and Reruns’ really sums up the experience of making this record as a whole for me. It was the last song I wrote on the record and as deep as I got into some of those heavier ideas, I couldn’t help but throw a wrench in the spokes by giving each song some sort of giddy musical twist.”

These twists are evident not only in the song writing, but in the production as well. The album was produced by Marshall Altman (Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele, Marc Broussard) and recorded at Altman’s Galt Line Studios in Los Angeles.

In 2006 Duke released his debut album Winter Child on Drexel University’s student-run record label MAD Dragon Records. The album received warm support from XPN Radio with Duke performing frequently at World Café Live and at several XPN sponsored events throughout the area. Duke was brought to the attention of Rykodisc through an growing relationship between Drexel University and Ryko Distribution, which distributes MAD Dragon Records. Under a new agreement made between Ryko and Drexel University, Rykodisc now has an exclusive, first-look opportunity to sign artists from the MAD Dragon roster. Matt Duke marks the first signing under this agreement.

In the interests of developing and promoting new talent, Rykodisc has launched a new initiative called Ryko Greenhouse. Matt Duke is the first artist to participate in this program. Ryko Greenhouse gives music fans a sneak preview of our up-and-coming releases by offering two songs available for purchase at iTunes and other digital music providers at a specially reduced price. Two of Matt Duke’s songs, “Rabbit” and “30 Some Days” are available for digital purchase now.

Krista Rothwell, One and One is One, diptych 36 x 96, oil on canvas

Projects Gallery opens its 2008-09 season with Fresh! 2008. Inspired by Philadelphia’s rich and multi-faceted artistic talent, this invitational exhibition highlights this city’s emerging artists. The palpable energy of the current art scene has been garnering increasing attention and critical respect. Fresh! is an unique opportunity to bring together disparate artists united not by imposed thematic or material concerns but as a chorus of individual voices heralding the vibrant, varied directions of contemporary art. Selected by gallery Director Helen Meyrick because of her immediate visceral response to their work, these artists diversely employ sculpture, photography, painting and drawing. Regardless of chosen style, material, or subject, these artists are a breath of fresh air.

Carl Main, Pooh Deer, 25 x 10 x 18, mixed media

A sampling of the contrasts in style illustrates the range of the artists, while placing them in the larger context of contemporary movements. Krista Rothwell paints neo-realistic images of herself and her sister on flat, spaceless color fields, demonstrating that the art of painting is far from dead. Carl Marin portrays the confrontation between nature and urban encroachment, echoing current design and kitsch aesthetics. Brooke Holloway’s works on paper require careful viewing, revealing biting commentary on feminist issues through the contradictory tangles of popular culture. Previously a graphic designer, Gregory Farrar Scott’s sculptural work is imbued with humor, cheekily riffing on found objects used to create pseudo-portraits.

Fresh! provides these artists a blank canvas on which to make their mark in the Philadelphia arts arena. Participants include: Cat Badger, Rosanne D'Andrea, Talia Greene, Brooke Holloway, Carl Marin, Itsuki Ogihara, Marilyn Rodriguez-Behrle, Lynn Rosenthal, Mia Rosenthal, Krista Rothwell, Gregory Farrar Scott, Heather Sundquist, and others. Many of these artists are recent graduates from several of Philadelphia’s finest art schools, including Moore College of Art and Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and Temple University’s Tyler School of Art.

Brooke Holloway, Dumb Bitch, 60 x 48, acrylic on canvas

Fresh! runs from Friday August 29 through September 27, 2008 with a First Friday artist reception September 5th, from 6-9 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Wednesday & Thursday 4-7 and Friday & Saturday noon to 7 p.m. For more information or digital images, please contact Projects Gallery at 267-303-9652 or info@projectsgallery.com.

Today working from home is a multi-million if not billion dollar industry and gaming is a huge part of that. If you don't know what Internet Marketing is you may want to look into it because it can be done on any subject, any topic, and almost everything else that you can think of. Marketing things online has the potential to reach millions of people across the Internet and bring in tons of revenue.

Imagine saving money on gas, daycare, and being your own boss. No work schedules that you don't agree with, no maximum vacation days, no annoying co-workers to deal with, no long commutes, and many more benefits come with those who work from home.

So how do you do it with World of Warcraft?

There are many ways you can accomplish making money online from home with World of Warcraft. Let's go over a few ways that I'm not going to tell you about but you could look into.

1) Farm Gold and sell it (not advised)
2) Power level characters and sell them (not advised)
3) Commit Auction House Arbitrage (not advised)

I'm not going to tell you how to do the above things or even explain what they are because they violate the EULA and I wouldn't recommend doing any of them.

What I'm going to recommend is that you share your knowledge with the WoW Community and write. You can write guides, you can write articles, you can write whatever you want and make it World of Warcraft or gaming related and make money off it. Whether you're interested in revenue sharing, game cards, or want a lump some cash amount for everything you write it makes no difference as long as you don't have to go to a crappy job from 9-5 everyday and listen to a boss.

I am an Internet Marketer and you are reading one of my articles that I get paid to write and if this is something that interests you then I recommend you check out Learn how to Make Money Playing Games

There is an infinite amount of knowledge to share with the community and an infinite amount of individual viewpoints you can share on aspects of the game where you could write at least one thing a day which takes < 1 hour of your time and make as much as you would in 8 hours at McDonalds (but only if you're a good writer and your topic is hot).

　　 Nearly 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty, wow goldthere was a county magistrate called Ying Chen. One summer day, he invited his secretary Du Xuan to his house and treated him with wine. On the north wall of the room hung a red bow. It waswow gold reflected in Du Xuan's cup. Du Xuan took the reflection for a squirming snake. He was very frightened but he dared not turn down Ying Chen's offer because Ying was his superior. He had to swallow the wine with his eyes closed.

　　When he was back at home he felt so painful in his chest and stomach that he could hardly eat and drink any more. He sent for the doctor and took some medicine, but nothing could cure him. When Ying Chen asked Du Xuan how he got so seriously ill, Du told him he drank the wine with a snake in his cup the other day. Ying Chen found something strange about that. He returned home , thought hard, but he could not find an answer.wow gold Suddenly the shadow thrown by the bow on the wall caught his eye. "That's it!" he shouted. He immediately sent his man to fetch Du Xuan. He seated him where he sat before and offered him a cup of wine. Du Xuan saw the snake-like shadow again. Before Du was scared out of his wits again, Ying Chen said , pointing at the shadow, "The 'snake' in the cup is nothing but a reflection of the bow on the wall!" Now that Do Xuan knew what it was, he felt much easier. And strange enough, his illness disappeared the next moment.lotro gold

　　This story was later contracted into the idiom "Bei Gong She Ying'. It is used to describe someone who is very suspicious. It is like saying someone is afraid of his own shadow.

Student Loans can sometimes be a tough thing to handle when you get around it. When a student loan amount adds up continuously, it seems as a never ending problem for many students out there. Over and above if you end up defaulting on a student loan it could mean disaster for your credit score as a young person who is starting to build up there credit profile.

So what might be student loan consolidation and how can it help you? Well student loans consolidation means merging multiple student loans into a single loan with new repayment terms and interest rate. Ez provide you with low interest rate loan even with bad credit which in turn can helps you to avoid defaulting on your loan as well as allowing you to make your monthly payments a lot more manageable for yourself. Just about every type of loan you can take out as a student and can be allowed to consolidate according to the higher education act. This goes for both undergraduate students loan and graduate student loan, as they all are able to qualify for them. And any single person that has a student loan can benefit from having to consolidate it. You really should think about it especially if your monthly payments are becoming too much of a burden for yourself and you are close to defaulting on your loan.

These programs make student loan repayment quite easier by allowing you to combine a lot of different types of federal or private student loans even if they have different terms and conditions or payment schemes as well as if they need to be paid to different lending institutions. It all gets consolidated into one lower interest loan that makes things a lot easier to manage and budget for. Additionally, the amount that you are required to pay is typically lower than you normally would pay and as a result the payment cycle is extended due to these lower payments. These things are put in place to allow you to make things a lot easier in order to stop worrying from defaulting on your loans and as a result screwing up your credit in the future.

If you happen to have a variable interest rate school or college loan then student loan consolidation program can be helpful as the interest rate is fixed through out the duration of the loan. This can make it a lot more

Consolidate School Loan

There are several ways of getting out of a student loan debts. One of the way as discussed before is taking a fixed rate loan and consolidating all your student loans called as student debt consolidation loan. Another is student loan settlement, also known as student loan negotiation where a debt consolidator would negotiate with your creditors if you can’t meet your monthly payments and will be able to get a reduction on the loan principal in exchange of keeping the current interest rate and schedule. There are also other services like student credit card debt consolidation which helps any student to pay off his credit card debts.

So if you want to find a simple way of managing these multiple payments to different lenders each month then Ez student loan consolidation program can be a great solution for you to make one lump sump payment each month that will in turn be disbursed to each of your outstanding lenders. It quickly figures out your situation and come up with the absolutely best consolidation loan that works perfectly for you.

By Ari S. Merretazon, M.S.CED

Since being hired in May 2006 as the ninth president of Temple University, Ann Weaver Hart, the first female president in the University’s 123 year history has initiated the devolution of its flagship community education program, the Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP), a world class model of community education over the last 33 years, under a national eminent domain education movement, some call Community-based Learning.

Community-based Learning is a community engagement model presented as a national education movement in which universities expand their campuses into low and moderate income communities. This movement is presented as a collaborative approach to upgrading community infrastructure, businesses, housing conditions and community collaboration.

Within this model Temple is able to leverage massive amounts of development dollars based on research and socio-economic and housing data collected by professionals, most of whom are white and don’t live in North Philadelphia. This is how Temple has entered the Community-based Learning movement, much like other urban-based universities.

Granted, the concept of this movement is marketable in terms of expanding entrepreneurship, new capital improvements, and strengthening ties to its surrounding neighborhoods. Its process of implementation, however, is likened to an apartheid state or plantation administration.

Here is how it operates within well used principles of apartheid and plantation rule. A new president/administration comes in with a deceptive public relationship strategy of community engagement, collaboration, and promises of community inclusion. The vision of development is done with a standard community impact assessment; department heads are treated as 3/5ths of a human with no rights the administration is bound to respect; successful community education programs are dismantled or downsized beyond recognition under memoranda and news releases from the office of the president indicating a grand university/community vision such as “Broad Street and Beyond.”

The clearest case of this approach is the relocation/downsizing of the Temple University Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP). This started only months after Temple’s first women president took office. She, without involving any of the current PASCEP staff in any collaborative discussion and decision-making, decided to relocate PASCEP off the main campus into a much smaller and unaccommodating facility with the distracting name of Community “Entertainment” Center. This suggests that Temple has no intention to continue PASCEP as a quality community education program.

With this apartheid and plantation handling of the director and program, the faculty, alumni association, and supporters are seeking to meet with Pres. Weaver Hart to discuss the negative impact of the relocation and downsizing with goal of keeping PASCEP on campus in Anderson Hall.

Pres. Weaver Hart has yet to give basic recognition, respect to the highly successful program or to its director. She has not responded directly to his letters and information packet about PASCEP which provided her with milestones achieved by PASCEP at its current capacity. To date supporters have received the same boiler-plate form letter response to each of their distinctly different letters of support for the program.

If the relocation proceeds in this apartheid/plantation process, the following successful programs will be terminated: The East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention. This is Philadelphia’s premiere comic book and literacy initiative; The PASCEP Black Male Development Symposium Rites of Passage Program; The PASCEP Prison Outreach; The PASCEP Community Consortiums; and the PASCEP Vendors Association. All of these vital community engagement programs with great exponential positive impact will leave Temple because of the apartheid and plantation incursion of Pres. Weaver Hart.
A vetting of Pres. Weaver Hart reveals, among other things, that she previously served as president of the University of New Hampshire and provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at Claremont Graduate University, neither similar to the Pan-African community in which Temple sets. Her prior education at every higher education level has been from the University of Utah, not nearly the multicultural environment of Temple.
Well, which way forward from here? Do the North Philadelphia community leaders know that PASCEP will never be the same if relocated? Will Pres. Weaver Hart open talks with the PASCEP director and the PASCEP faculty? When will the appropriate City Council and State Representatives intervene in this local disruption of a successful education program with a grand legacy of community-based learning and engagement for more than 33 years?
PASCEP is at a critical junction. The date set for this unjustified relocation has been set, un-officially, for fall 2008. Why must one successful community-based learning program be displaced by any new ones without a collaborative community process?
To collaborate in theory and practice is when at least two entities with similar interests come together to do something neither could do alone. As a faculty member of PASCEP, I know firsthand that Pres. Weaver Hart has not met with the director of PASCEP as a collaborative partner. If PASCEP’s director had been included in the decision-making process, perhaps there would have been a relatively seamless transition and supporters of PASCEP would not have to write such commentary and continue to oppose such apartheid/plantation approach to community-based learning.

DON’T MOVE PASCEP

Temple University has initiated the dismantling of the prestigious community education program, the Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP), a world class model of multi cultural community education for the past 33 years.

Temple’s administration without involving the director or staff of PASCEP in any collaborative discussion, decided to relocate PASCEP off the main campus. With this move, several of PASCEP’s community outreach initiatives will be terminated and many of its classes will be eliminated.

Some of the PASCEP initiatives slated for EXTINCTION:

• The East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC),
which is Philadelphia’s premiere comic book and literacy initiative.

• The PASCEP/BMDS Rites-of-Passage Programs.

• The PASCEP Prison Outreach will be reduced by 75%.

• The PASCEP Community Consortiums.

• The PASCEP Vendors Association.

With an average population of over 1100 students per semester, 85 classes running four nights per week, all run by volunteers, PASCEP qualifies as the 5th largest “school” under the Temple University banner. Yet they fail to respect the citizens of Philadelphia, who are its students and faculty, essentially …

PASCEP is under SEIGE!!

For the summer season, Projects Gallery is pleased to announce a collaboration with curators Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof entitled “ID”. This exhibition will showcase emerging Philadelphia artists united in pushing the boundaries of myth and persona in contemporary art. Fresh from various Philadelphia-area art colleges and programs, these artists embrace the ethos of the MySpace generation. Utilizing video, performance, sculpture and photography, “ID” explores broad and self-focused concepts ranging from issues of applied identity to the id of the artist. As put succinctly by the curators, “the works are metaphorical in ways that come out of the core of who they are and what they see around them.”
Jamie Diamond, The Radissons, photographic print, 40" x 60"

True to the zeitgeist, the artists use the self to express the political, environmental and personal. Documenting the seemingly mundane of the everyday, these works morph into an escapist fantasy. As Fallon and Rosof state, “their art is questioning their relationship to their families and friends, to the past, to the city, to the camera even.” Whether fabricating an alternate persona through video, documenting a false or surrogate family through photography, or constructing impossible landscapes of impractical materials, the artists express experience via the filter of their own “ID”. Through the embrace of the self-as-subject, these young artists confront the contemporary world by retreating into one of their own creation.
Andria Bibiloni, Blaster Bike, Mixed Media with Sound, dimensions variable

Artists include from Moore College of Art and Design, Samantha Hill; from Tyler School of Art, Andria Bibiloni and Carl Marin; from The University of the Arts Jay Hardman, Alex Gartelmann and Phil Jackson; and from University of Pennsylvania Jamie Diamond, Katy Rose Glickman and Sarah Zimmer; from Vermont College of Fine Arts, Philadelphia-based artist Diedra Krieger – all representing the spectrum of the Philadelphia art experience.

This is the last full week to view Project Gallery's duel solo exhibitions Henry Bermudez's "Con la Mirada en el Cielo" and Paul Santoleri's "Subterranean / Basement"

Bermudez continues his exploration of spiritually surreal imagery, combining his unique vision of pre-Colombian and Christian iconography. The complex arrangement of interlocking lines and colors are reminiscent of intricate Persian tapestries. The dense arrangement invites us to travel further into a realm of contemplation. Bermudez’s current body of work expands upon the tradition of cut-paper assemblage, expanding his surface to monumental proportions. The impressive scale confronts the viewer, while the subtle, enigmatic imagery draws one to “gaze to the heaven”.

Utilizing the unique exhibition possibilities of Project’s lower level, Paul Santoleri presents both large and small-scale works, as well as his site-specific blacklight-responsive wall paintings. Through spontaneous and free-formed animalistic and vegetal hybrids, one is able to view the spirit of creative energy that exists in all living things. Santoleri invites us to discover an underground world of color and light and to visit a phantasmal environ of his imagination.

Both Con La Mirada en el Cielo and Subterranean / Basement conclude May 31st, 2008. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday noon to 7 p.m.

Above is a shot of several of the volunteers hard at work at a POP planting at 8/Poplar on the 19th. It was a gorgeous day and a ton of volunteers showed up from POP, Teens 4 Good and Greater Philadelphia Federation of Settlements. Young and old alike picked up wheel barrows, shovels, rakes and loads of dirt to plant a multitude of trees, berries and vines. I had my cousin in town for a last minute visit so I couldn't stick around for too long, but I was there for an hour documenting part of the process of planting a small orchard.

Learn more about the project here. You can donate, via PayPal or check, via the website as well. It's a very cool project and I was there for the initial meeting. My job at PhillyCarShare didn't allow me to do much last year, but now that I'm free of that place, I can take photos and get my hands into the dirt with the rest of the gang.

A flickr set up starting here of the afternoon's planting.
