Keepers of the Art also teaches classes via the H.E.L.P Workshop- designed for educators who are looking for a unique way to culturally connect to the diverse youth they serve. The creation of H.E.L.P. came out of a desire to use the influence of Hip Hop music on the 21st century student, to promote student interest in reading and strengthen their abilities in all five areas of literacy: phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, comprehension, writing and fluency.

The Hip-Hop Generation and the Need for New Leadership: This workshop will delve into the current state of Black leadership in America. Additionally, students will understand how hip-hop culture is the most influential, and the only universal social phenomenon in the American marketplace. With this being said, it is imperative for the next generation of leaders to understand its past and present power in order to effectively use it to influence political, economic and social policy.

Hip-Hop v. Rap - A Historical Perspective: This workshop offers an historical perspective of Hip-Hop culture from its conception to present day. The elements of the culture will be highlighted and explored. Additionally, we will break down the love-hate-love relationship between hip-hop and American society. Lastly we will discuss and explore the un-seen corporate forces that are negatively influencing Hip-Hop Culture.

The Dwindling Number of Men of Color on College Campuses: This workshop explores the crisis of the shortage of men of color in institutions of higher education. Along the way, we will spotlight social barriers that have and continue to impede these young men from achieving academic excellence. Lastly, recommendations and solutions will be introduced in order to empower our young men to overcome these social barriers.

Young Genius Program: A collaborative mentoring effort between Gov. Strickland's Initiative To Increase The Graduation Rate, Akron Public Schools, The Akron Urban League and H.E.L.P. The Young Genius Program seeks to provide socially relevant, holistic approaches to academic, socio-economic and cultural improvement.

Giva, Inc. Announces a Webinar Series on How to Select the Best Outsourced IT Service Desk/Help Desk Partner



Giva, Inc. Announces a Webinar Series on How to Select the Best Outsourced IT Service Desk/Help Desk Partner

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2010

Giva® announces a webinar series on how to select the best IT service desk/help desk outsourcer. This webinar will help attendees build a Request for Proposal (RFP) and avoid mistakes that even the most experienced CIOs/IT Directors make when selecting an IT outsourcing partner. The webinar will be held on Oct. 21, 2010 at 11 a.m. EDT and Nov. 18, 2010 at 11 a.m. EST.

CDC Global Services, a Gold Certified Microsoft partner with more than 20 years of experience deploying Microsoft applications, is co-hosting the webinar.

â??Itâ??s difficult to draw distinctions between IT service vendors unless you ask the right questions at the beginning of an outsourcing relationship,â? said Todd Stuchlik, director of managed services of CDC Global Services. â??Itâ??s also difficult to get started in the requirements gathering process to build an RFP with just a blank slate.â?

Many organizations that are considering outsourcing are already understaffed and over burdened with IT projects. This complimentary webinar will help attendees quantify the economic benefits and costs of IT service/help desk outsourcing. Attendees will also learn how to lead the vendor qualification process with expertise and negotiate the best IT service/help desk outsourcing agreement for their company.

â??Effectively coaching your IT team on how to shortlist the right service desk/help desk outsourcers for a rigorous vetting process is not familiar to many CIOs/IT Directors since itâ??s not done on a routine basis,â? said Ron Avignone, founder of Giva, Inc.

Austin Hotel, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort Makes Top Twenty on Travel + Leisure's "World's Best Family Hotels & Cruises" List



Austin Hotel, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort Makes Top Twenty on Travel + Leisure's "World's Best Family Hotels & Cruises" List

Lost Pines, TX (PRWEB) October 20, 2010

Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa has been ranked #18 in the top 50 list for the U.S. and Canada in the recently published Travel + Leisure magazine's 2010 list of the "World's Top Family Hotels and Cruises." The family-friendly Austin hotel and resort, located between Austin and Bastrop is one of only four Texas properties that were selected for inclusion on this prestigious list. Of the Texas properties that were chosen, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines claimed the top spot and is the only one from the Central Texas region.

"We are very pleased and honored to have been selected for this recognition. I am especially thankful to all of our associates whose effort and commitment have made this possible," stated Steve Dewire, general manager, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa. "It has been our goal to create an environment that sincerely welcomes all of our guests with authentic hospitality while offering an extensive variety of entertainment, recreation and nature-based activities that engage guests of all ages." Dewire added. "We are also fortunate to have the town of Bastrop as our neighbor and community partner. The town, named one of the 2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, extends a warm welcome that en-hances the guest experience."

The Austin, Texas hotel and resort claims a beautiful and secluded location on the banks of the Colorado River that appeals to fam-ilies who find the property naturally conducive to exploration, discovery and learning. The resort has integrated local and regional history, flora and fauna education, astronomy and even do-mesticated livestock into its programming. Stargazing on the driving range at Wolfdancer gives a breathtaking glimpse at the expansive Texas nighttime sky. The "Be Kind to Texas Animals" program introduces guests of all ages to Texas wildlife such as the American Alligator, a box turtle, and a non-venomous snake in hands-on education sessions. The resort's mascots, Julius and Caesar (two Percheron draft horses) and their sidekicks, T-Bone and RibEye (two and a half year old longhorn steers) are among the resort's most popular attractions. Julius and Caesar provide guests with a tour of the property via a giant red wagon while T-Bone and RibEye entertain guests through meet and greets throughout the resort. The longhorns have been saddle-broken and will gladly allow guests to sit on their backs for some truly memorable family photos.

Hyatt Regency Lost Pines also offers championship golf, adult and youth spas, horseback riding, archery, and skeet shooting. A partnership with McKinney Roughs Nature Park also provides guests the opportunity to kayak, river raft, zip line, climb a rock wall or hike 16 miles of trails connecting the resort and the park. Camp Hyatt provides an enter-taining option for children between three and twelve years of age with supervised games, indoor and outdoor activities, and nature-based crafts. There are also many options for fun in the sun and water at the Crooked River water park with its 1,000-foot flowing river pool, an activity pool, two story water slide, beach, splash pad, adult pool, whirlpools and poolside bar and grill.
