GOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM!” Fellow Classmates, Administrators, Families, and Friends, I Cannot Express the Pride I Take in Speaking to You Tonight “GOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM!” Fellow classmates, administrators, families, and friends, I cannot express the pride I take in speaking to you tonight. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Jonah Manalo. And if you are wondering why I seem so nervous, it’s not because of the fact that I am alone at this microphone in front of so many people. It’s because my parents are filming me and will most likely put this on Facebook with an embarrassing caption. Probably something like: “Look at our little boy! He’s all grown up! *With a smiley emoji*”. Before I go on, I just want to warn you that there will be several references to The Office, so I apologize if you are one of the few unlucky individuals who have not seen the show. My entire life has been spent in the same city, in the same district, even in the same house. The experience I have had here at Upper St. Clair is best summed up in the words of Darryl Philbin: “Everyday when I came into [school] all I wanted to do was leave. So why in the world does it feel so hard to leave right now?” I believe that this change of heart lies in our fear of the unknown. As we transitioned from elementary to middle to high school, our longing to graduate transformed into a fear of life beyond Upper St. Clair. This fear of the unknown crept upon us when we stepped into the high school as a tiny freshmen with squeaky voices. “[We] knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, [we] had no idea what to do” (Michael Scott). However, the people we once were seemed to change faster than we were ready for. High school for us seemed to proceed with a constant acceleration as each subsequent year seemed shorter than the last. College applications, AP tests, SATs, ACTs, and so much more sprang upon us so rapidly. Suddenly, we are not puny freshmen anymore. As Dwight Schrute said, “We are warriors! [Class of 2019] I ask you once more rise and be worthy of this historic hour!”. This class of brilliant individuals has accomplished so much over a short four years. The legacy we are leaving behind will be one for the record books. In each of the three pillars of the academics, the arts, and the athletics, we grew. “Some people will tell you [senior] is a bad word. They’ll conjure up images of [worn out procrastinators and good for nothing troublemakers]. It has been our duty to change their perception”. As much as many of us considered ourselves to be suffering from senioritis before school even started, the class of 2019 prospered in its final stand at Upper St. Clair High School. National Honor Society gained some 150 new inductees, numerous musicians and vocalists once again qualified for PMEA band and PMEA chorus, and countless sports teams emerged as section champions and advanced in the playoffs for their respective sports. To top it all off, we have been recognized by the Pittsburgh Business Times as 2019’s #1 Public School in Allegheny County. The accomplishments we have had here at Upper St. Clair will act as the seeds that will blossom into a variety of flowers, each one different from the last. I look out amongst the class of ‘19 and see doctors, engineers, business men and business women, servicemen and servicewomen, lawyers, athletes, musicians, artists, and everything else in between. I know this because of the one thing that we will miss the most: relationships. Well aside from the roni rolls … the relationships. Every year I spent at Upper St. Clair brought me close to so many new friends. Every year opened my eyes to unfamiliar faces who revealed themselves to be brilliant in their own ways. But what’s more important than simply being talented is being welcoming. The ability of this class of graduates to create a warm and supportive environment for each other and the underclassmen is truly amazing as we have allowed everyone to feel as if he/she was a part of something greater than him/herself. We knew that the best way to succeed in high school was by helping each other every step of the way, “for it is together that we prevail” (Dwight Schrute). By finding a balance between individual success and supportive teamwork at USC, each and every one of these students is more than ready to graduate and experience the world. Still, the unknown seems dangerous as our fear of failure overcomes us. Will we fail? Of course. There will be times when we find ourselves lost and hopeless, with no answers. What is there left to do? Get back up, and try again. There is no shame in failing, because if we do not experience failure, we will miss out on the opportunity to grow from mistakes. And this growth, I believe, is the true embodiment of success. The unknown, while having its risks, also has its rewards. Living outside of this familiar ground on our own will not be easy. We are in for a tough journey. But by experiencing new and unfamiliar things, the potential for success is present. And even though it may seem as if we are venturing far from our friends and families, remember the words of the wise Creed Bratton: “No matter how you get here or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home”. The places we go and the people we meet will provide us with a home away from home. So, rather than fear the unknown, we should welcome it. We should welcome all of the ups and downs that lie ahead and know that the strong foundation that Upper St. Clair has given us will see us through to the end where success is waiting. We should go out into the world with the same mindset Dwight had when he left Dunder Mifflin and said “I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me”. I would like to again express how grateful I am to have attended Upper St. Clair for the entirety of my schooling. The friends that I’ve met, the bonds that I’ve formed, and the memories that I’ve made, will stay in my heart forever. “Everything I have I owe to this [school] … this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing [school]” (Jim Halpert). Congratulations once again to the Upper St. Clair High School Class of 2019, and “may your hats fly as high as your dreams” (Michael Scott). Thank you all and I’ll “catch you on the flippity flip” (Michael Scott). .

  • “We Can't Even Play Ourselves”: Mixed-Race Actresses in the Early
    “WE CAN’T EVEN PLAY OURSELVES”: MIXED-RACE ACTRESSES IN THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2017 By Valerie M. Lo Dissertation Committee: Robert Perkinson, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Jonna Eagle Konrad Ng Jonathan Okamura Keywords: Mixed race, Ambiguity, Post-Racial, Color-blind, Film ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has been a test of my resiliency and grew from my desire to add a small contribution to the ongoing discussion of mixed race representations in film and television. Many people have come into my life in the last several years and encouraged my studies, talked excitedly with me, and subtly (or blatantly) pushed me to continue when I thought the road ahead looked too ominous. In 2005, at San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies banquet, my Master’s thesis chair, Wei Ming Dariotis, remarked that a PhD was in the stars for me. Those words stayed close to me during my graduate work at the University of Hawai'i. My first teaching assistantship with Isabelle Peluad at San Francisco State University in Asian American Literature showed me exactly what I wanted to immerse myself in for the rest of my life. Graduate courses with Russell Jeung and Madeline Hsu reaffirmed my desire to work within the field of Asian American Studies and continue on to a doctorate program. My coursework in American Studies was rigorous and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.

    [Use letterhead or logo] For more information, please contact For Immediate Release Ryan Howard, Communications Coordinator, (555) 555-5785 Garden Tasting Party Fun at Piney Woods Elementary Third graders try foods they grew in school garden (Mifflin, PA) October 22- The Mifflin Independent School District’s Growing Great pilot program ​ is in its second year at Piney Woods Elementary School and held the seasonal Garden Harvest/Tasting Party on October 21. This cross-curricular program has integrated garden-based learning all across the school while giving our students the freshest cafeteria food possible. “All of the research shows that students who have positive experiences trying new foods at this age generally experience better nutrition throughout their lives,” said Pam Beesly, nutrition services director. “This garden program is a success because it integrates hands-on science instruction, nutrition, and fun to get students excited about the foods they choose to eat.” Taking students out of the classroom has also led to the program’s success. “Last year was the first full year of the program, and we saw an increase of about 10% in third-grade science pass rates at Piney Woods,” explained Holly Flax, the division’s director of science instruction. “We’ve made this a key piece of the curriculum, and it seems to really be paying off.” The program has also been a benefit to operations. “Our Nutrition Services Department didn’t have to order lettuce for approximately three months,” explained Darryl Philbin, assistant superintendent for operations. “Harvesting from the courtyard garden and serving in the cafeteria is not only amazing for our students, but it has definitely helped the bottom line.” Students are also raving about the fresh food.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE COLLEGE OF INFORMATION SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY DATA FUSION OF SECURITY LOGS TO MEASURE CRITICAL SECURITY CONTROLS TO INCREASE SITUATION AWARENESS MATTHEW KENNEDY SPRING 2018 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Security and Risk Analysis with honors in Security and Risk Analysis Reviewed and approved* by the following: Nicklaus A. Giacobe Assistant Teaching Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Director, Undergraduate Programs Thesis Advisor Dinghao Wu Associate Professor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ii ABSTRACT In Jan. 2018, a NIST draft to the Cybersecurity Framework called for the development of cybersecurity metrics, saying such work would be a “major advancement and contribution to the cybersecurity community (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2017b).” Unfortunately, organizations and researchers continue to make little progress at measuring security. Along with this, research around measuring security fails to present detailed guides on how to implement security metrics collection and reporting in an organization. This research seeks to explore how measuring the CIS (formally SANS) Critical Security Controls, through data fusion of security logs, has the potential to increase situation awareness to strategic decision makers, and systems administrators. Metrics are built for each of the sub controls for Critical Security Control 8: Malware Defenses. Along with the development of these metrics, a proof of concept is implemented in a computer network designed to mimic a small business that is using Symantec Endpoint Protection and Splunk. A Splunk dashboard is created to monitor, in real time, the status of Critical Security Control 8.1 and 8.2.

  • Garden Tasting Party Fun at Piney Woods Elementary Third-Graders Try Foods They Grew in School Garden
    Garden Tasting Party Fun at Piney Woods Elementary Third-graders try foods they grew in school garden It’s not the kind of thing you expect to hear a third-grader say, but it was clear something new is growing at Piney Woods Elementary School during the October 21 Garden Tasting Party. “I really like kale chips and spinach,” said Karen Filippelli, a third-grader in Mrs. Vance’s class. “I didn’t think I did, but I really do Especially when I dip them in ranch dressing.” … Piney Woods has become the Mifflin Independent District’s first Growing Great pilot school. The cross-curricular program integrates science, nutrition, physical education, math, and as many other subjects as possible into garden-focused learning. Now in its second year, third grade has been the focus for the program, but Piney Woods is about to expand it to all grade levels. “I wasn’t sure about all this at first—there are a huge number of moving pieces,” Hudson said, “but I can honestly say this is one of the most transformative programs I’ve ever implemented.” What made Hudson change his mind? The program is driving success of all kinds all across the school. It has a sort of Midas touch in so many areas that its overall impact is undeniable. First, students plant and maintain the crops in the garden as part of their science curriculum. This has led to approximately a 10% increase in pass rates for third-graders last year, according to Holly Flax, the division’s director of science instruction.
