March is Women's History Month and this special edition of The CWR includes special articles celebrating the important role of women in our society. We also encourage readers to have a little fun by seeing how many of the famous women on our cover you recognize. Just go to our Facebook page to find a worksheet.
We also welcome Mr. Daniel Kehrer and his nationally renowned column, Biz Best: Business Made Better, to The CWR. Daniel is one of the leading authorities in America on small business growth and development, and there is a plethora of information about every aspect of successfully starting and operating a business, and ideas for entrepreneurs, located at his website at www.BizBest.com. Daniel will be writing a special edition of his column for The CWR focusing on how our readers can start their own businesses.
High school students, parents, and high school counselors will find Ms. Tanya Knight's article in The CWR BrainTrust column, "10 Ways to Successfully Prepare You for College," very informative and helpful.
This month's Career Zone is perfect for graduates and soon-to-be graduates as Ms. Tara Goodfellow presents the "Top 11 Ways to Make the Career Services (CS) Work for You." Readers will find this article to be an effective guide in working with the offices of Career Services on campus to achieve career goals.
For those interested in relationships we offer three outstanding articles: Dr. Jeanne King's Breaking The Cycle article, "Physical Abuse and the Violence Card - The Legacy That Abusers Live," Dr. Torri Griffin's Relationship TNT article, "Fall OUT of Love and Move ON," and Mr. J. Thurman's thought provoking article, "Bullies."
And finally, we present two perspectives on the recent events in Egypt, one from our reporter on the scene in Egypt, Rasha Mohammad, and the other from our Inside Arab America writer Dr. Azadeh Osanloo. Rasha provides readers with an on the scene account of events leading up to the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and the experiences and range of emotions of the young people directly involved in the protest in The CWR Middle Eastern Report. Dr. Osanloo explores how Egyptian youths used technology to organize and achieve their goal in her article, "Young People, Know Thy Power."
These are just some of the highlights of the March CWR, see the entire list of articles below in the In This Month's CWR section below.
Happy Women's History Month.

HBCUPrideNation - It's Not Facebook; At Least, Not Yet
By Donell Edwards, BBA |
|
Much has been made of the unbelievable success of the social network site Facebook, and deservedly so. It is interesting to note that Facebook was started by college students and now has over 600 million users, it is the number one social network service in the world, and can boast that almost half the U.S. population. 41.6%, has a Facebook account. Not bad for a group of college kids who wanted to provide a service so friends could network in cyber space and exchange information.
It could happen all over again with HBCUPrideNation.... Read more. |

Physical Abuse and the Violence Card - The Legacy That Abusers Live By Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D. |
|
 | |
Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D. |
Abusers think that once they offer up an apology that you should get over it. While it's true that with time, domestic abuse victims can heal...the legacy of playing the violence card lives on. Once you introduce violence into an intimate relationship, the dynamics radically change. The imbalanced "power and control" within the relationship intensifies and influences everything, because it's constantly there. Domestic violence counseling can help. Read more. |

It is helpful to think of your image as a "package". So your image is everything that others see about you, including of course what you are wearing, but also all the other accent pieces that are part of your total package. Last month we discussed key business accessories that accentuate your professional presence. We want to continue with some additional advice to ensure that your total image "package" is working for you! Read more. |

Tracey Smith, B.S. |
After living within the close confines of the discipline of parents, students once away on their own, now have the empowerment to exercise, fine-tune and exemplify the development of true character which will define what type of an adult they will be once they have completed their degree requirements. There are many students that utilize these four years to transform into their own identity, leaving by the waste side every jewel of advice that will lead to an adult life that reflects one that confidently embraces integrity and wisdom.... What is the value in being good? What guarantees are you offered if you don't end up a villain or in rehab? Read more. |

Fall OUT of Love and Move ON By Dr. Torri Griffin, Ph.D., LPC
Well, as odd as it may sound, as a love and relationships coach, I hear this phrase in my office all the time, "but I love him" or "but I still love her" with LOVE being the operative word here. What I think this means is, "I love the good times we have even though these bad times keep popping up." So here's what I think is causing the problem. Read more.
Bullies
By J. Thurman, B.A.
Are you being bullied in your relationships? Usually the person being bullied doesn't even know it. Most bullying techniques are so subtle that unless that person practices psychic self-defense they would never know. Are you being lead to do things and say things because of guilt and the fear of not being liked. Subtle bullying deals with.... Read more. |

Historically the lives of women can be categorized as amazing, remarkable, and outstanding. The innate ability of women to overcome extreme situations can be analytically and chronologically assessed, and the final thought will always hinge upon the concepts of strength, courage, and wisdom. Women, and the distinct service that has been and will always be an operative focal point in history, present day, and future times is the topic of the WED Column for the month of March. Read more.

Life Insurance Story
By Dwight Harshaw, BBA
After finishing college, getting established in a career, and having a family, you are going to be faced with choices regarding life insurance. The company you work for may provide you with a small amount of insurance-usually enough to cover a funeral-and if you want to purchase more, they may offer a selection of group term life insurance plans for you to choose from. At some point you will be approach by someone-outside of your company-selling life insurance and when it happens, it is imperative that you know.... Read more.

"No crisis in history has clearly demonstrated the interdependence of nations as the environmental crisis". This statement was made in the year 2000 by Kofi Annan, then United Nations Secretary General.... he further established that the pressures wielded by forces of economic globalization and technological change are transforming the global environment as never before. Undoubtedly, climate change is not a disaster waiting to happen, but it is already under way. Read more. |

Young People, Know Thy Power
By Azadeh Osanloo, Ph.D.
A recap of the events that recently occurred in Egypt spark promise and power in the young people around the world.... When Mubarek, yet another military leader, became president he promised he would only stay for two terms (or eight years), but stayed for three decades. He was a militaristic leader, who held on tight to the power, and did not relinquish it....As time went on, the young of people of Egypt became disenchanted, nay disgusted, with Mubarek's regime because of the lack of education and employment, rigged elections, and ongoing class struggle....

30 Year Old Makes History As Chicago's First Asian Alderman
By Lily Kim
Call it an upset, call it disappointment, 30-year-old Indian American Ameya Pawar surprised many who defeated the 47th Ward's incumbent's handpicked man Tom O'Donnell. With endorsements from the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune, it was even a surprise for Pawar and his campaign that claimed 50.8% votes victory avoiding a run-off. Read more.

National Black History Month: Remembering Our Past and Looking to the Future
It has been said that "In order to go forward, one must look back." Maya Angelou emphasizes this by saying "For Africa to me is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth; no man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he has arrived at his present place. " Educating ourselves on our rich legacy and past can only serve to make us proud of who we are. Read more.

What Happened to Egyptians? - The Arab Striking
By Rasha Mohammad
CWR International Reporters Corps (IRC) Correspondent in Egypt |

Rasha Mohammad |
Since the breaking of the Egyptian revolution, I had been in Tahrir square, the center of protests in Cairo, reporting on the demonstrations. I saw horror: mass killing of protesters, thugs, security forces' harsh crackdowns, snipers, car-on purpose- accidents, kidnap of protesters, and abusing journalists. At the same time I had seen a unique picture of civility. Protesters who could never be gather in one place in normal life set an example of humanity. Without knowing your name, religion, root, nor profession, protesters had been helping each others as if they are belonging to a one family: Egypt. Read more. |

You have an idea or suggestion or something you want to try. You figure out how you want to implement your idea and whose help you need to do so. You determine a plan of action and even read the book Hey, That's My Idea!, by Sylvia Henderson, to figure out how to communicate and present your idea. You put your idea out on the table-communicate to other people-and they "should" all over you. "Should all over you" means.... Read more.

Every month is Women's History Month. Can you imagine a world without women? I certainly hope not. For when we think about the strength that so many women have exhibited to move us forward, it certainly makes no sense to discount their value... think about it, W-O-MEN, without women we'd be WithOut-men... Gentlemen - give a compliment to a woman today and every day. Ladies - do the same, and accept one. Read more. |

In the later years of his life, Ying Zheng has been obsessed with prolonging his life. He is never tired of going on tours in search for the legendary longevity pill. All the time, the Emperor's contact with reality is being loosened still further, aided by his mercury consumption. The dose has been increased over the last five years, as his desire for immortality has become more obsessive. The elixirs of the islands of the immortals have failed to.... Read more.
