  • Inland Empire Fact Sheet SIMPLIFYING FEDERAL STUDENT AID: Grants, Loans, & Repayment Plans
    Inland Empire Fact Sheet SIMPLIFYING FEDERAL STUDENT AID: Grants, Loans, & Repayment Plans November 2016 Join the conversation at #KeepCollegeAff ordable INTRODUCTION The need for a college education has never been greater. Degrees at all levels, from vocational certificates to Master’s degrees, allow individuals to enjoy greater economic and social success. In fact, individuals with a bachelor’s degree will earn over $1.3 million more over their lifetimes than someone with only a high school diploma. For first-generation, low income and minority students, access to college opportunity yields a pathway to increased economic stability and prosperity for future generations. The jobs of the future require college credentials. By 2020, 65% of all jobs across the United States will require some type of college credential. The same holds true for the State of California: 68% of all jobs by 2020 will require future workers to have college credentials. Educational credentials needed For jobs of the future 12% 11% Master's Degree or Higher 24% 23% Bachelor's Degree Some College, Associate's, 32% 33% or Vocational Credential High School Diploma or Less 33% 34% College Credential Required California U.S. Unless immediate action is taken, and current trends persist, California will be short 2.4 million college educated workers to meet workforce demands. To succeed in this new economy, California must ensure that more of its residents are on track to enter college and graduate with a degree or credential. Keeping college affordable is key to meeting California’s economic demands and ensuring opportunity to a better future for the state’s residents.

  • 2008 Annual Report
    2008 Annual Report “By giving students, parents, and community members the necessary tools to surround themselves with healthy options, HealthCorps is working today for a healthy America tomorrow.” - Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. Founder of Healthcorps® Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. with the HealthCorps Coordinators and staff. Dear Friend, As HealthCorps’ founder, I want to thank you for your support and unwavering faith in our vision. This marks the first annual report for HealthCorps. It covers fiscal year 2008, which ran from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. Modeled after the Peace Corps, HealthCorps deploys a sharp team of Health Coordinators, recent college graduates with a strong interest in pursuing graduate studies in medicine and health, to carry out the HealthCorps curriculum and nurture student activists who then reach out to often neglected communities. HealthCorps offers schools a core curriculum of nutrition, fitness and mental resilience and shows students the benefits of making simple changes to achieve healthier lifestyles, like walking at least 10,000 steps a day, reading food labels, eating nutritious snacks and learning how to cope more effectively with stress. Our Movement targets all Americans with the message that today you can make small lifestyle enhancing changes to increase your well-being and guarantee a fuller and longer life. In 2007-2008, the HealthCorps network expanded to 36 high schools in seven states, where the program’s impact reaches 32,400 students and community residents. By the time of this printing, we will be up and running for fiscal year 2009 in 44 schools across seven states.

  • Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet?
    D C CAN PUBLIC DIPLOMACY SURVIVE THE INTERNET? BOTS, ECHO CHAMBERS, AND DISINFORMATION Edited by Shawn Powers and Markos Kounalakis May 2017 TRANSMITTAL LETTER Tothe President, Congress, Secretary of State and the American People: Established in 1948, the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (ACPD) is authorized pur­ suant to Public Law 114- 113 to appraise all U.S. government efforts to understand, inform and in­ fluence foreign publics. We achieve this goal in a variety of ways, including, among other efforts, offering policy recommendations, and through our Comprehensive Annual Report, which tracks how the roughly $1.8 billion in appropriated funds is spent on public diplomacy efforts throughout the world. Part of the Commission’s mandate is to help the State Department prepare for cutting edge and transformative changes, which have the potential to upend how we think about engaging with foreign publics. This report aims to achieve precisely that. In order to think carefully about public diplomacy in this ever and rapidly changing communications space, the Commission convened a group of private sector, government, and academic experts at Stanford University’s Hoover Insti­ tution to discuss the latest research and trends in strategic communication in digital spaces. The results of that workshop, refined by a number of follow-on interviews and discussions with other organizations interested in similar questions, are included in this report. Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet? features essays by workshop participants that focus on emergent and potentially transformative technology and communication patterns. The essays also highlight the potential challenges and opportunities these changes create for public diplomacy practitioners in particular and the U.S.

  • Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance
    Atlantic Council BRENT SCOWCROFT CENTER ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE BRIEF Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance OCTOBER 2017 DANIELLE PLETKA The state that was once known as Syria has ceased to exist. The nominal central government of President Bashar al-Assad controls only sections of the country, with other portions in the hands, variously, of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), al-Qaeda tied to Fatah al- Sham (otherwise known as Jabhat al-Nusra), People’s Protection Units, the Democratic Union Party, and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. In addition, that which is in Assad’s hands remains so thanks only to the combined intervention of Iranian conventional and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and IRGC-Quds Forces, Hezbollah fighters, and the military support of the Russian Federation. If Assad is ever again to sit atop his nation, whole and entirely under his heel as it once was, it will be only because of these outside forces. Despite the Kremlin’s efforts to ensure a tactically advantageous military presence in Syria for the foreseeable future, Russia’s role in controlling Syria’s leadership going forward may be at least partly in question. Iran’s role, however, is clear. Assad, or indeed any Alawite ruler that succeeds him, will serve solely at the pleasure of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). Beginning at the Beginning Pushback: Exposing and After the ouster of the shah of Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Countering Iran is a project the new regime in Tehran took a straightforward approach to its foreign of the Middle East Peace and Security Initiative in the Atlantic relations: Everything the shah did was wrong, and the regime would do Council’s Brent Scowcroft the opposite.

Having starred in her own reality TV show and that infamous video, the hotel heiress is stepping into the world of fashion and beauty with a vengeance. No sooner had she launched a signature jewelry line on Amazon.com than she was talking of visions of a fashion empire, including jeans, sweatsuits, shoes and color cosmetics.
