"Everyday Creativity" is about making the ordinary, extraordinary. Each of us is faced with creatively coming up with the next solution, the next answer to our problems. And this means in our businesses, our communities, or our families. Creativity is often thought of as a phenomenon that is larger-than-life, or out of the ordinary. Something reserved for a few "artistic" types. Dewitt Jones challenges such thinking and shows us how creativity is something much more accessible. Using his own photos as the basis for memorable stories, Dewitt shows us how an open mind, a solid understanding of our craft, and the willingness to venture beyond what is expected, can change our ability to live more creatively, everyday.

Saint Joseph’s College of Maine announces new scholarships for students enrolled in its online Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology degree. According to theology program director Dr. Daniel Sheridan, Dr. William and Judy Davis of Columbia, Mo., have pledged for the next three years to sponsor scholarships that can be used toward tuition, books and fees. Davis, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri Health Care School of Medicine, is a 2007 graduate of the master’s theology program at Saint Joseph’s.
Saint Joseph’s College provides theological education for those seeking to serve the Catholic Church and society. According to Sheridan, the Davis scholarships will aid students seeking to work in lay ministry. “To be an effective lay minister requires a solid theological foundation in Catholic doctrine combined with a deep spiritual and pastoral orientation,” he notes.
Each scholarship applicant must have taken at least two courses in the online graduate theology program, be in academic good standing, be recommended by their diocese or parish, and have demonstrated financial need. Applications will be accepted through March 31, and the first round of awards will be made in May for course enrollments starting in July through June 30, 2009. Visit www.sjcme.edu/gps/scholarships or call (800) 752-1266 or (207) 893-6612.
Saint Joseph’s undergraduate and graduate theology programs offer study of the breadth, depth, and strength of Catholic theology. According to Sheridan, the programs deepen faith and enable a better-grounded and informed lay ministry. Saint Joseph’s has offered distance education for adult learners since 1976. More information about the online theology programs can be found at www.sjcme.edu/gps/religiousstudies.htm.

The Center for Biomedical Ethics and Humanities at the University of Virginia is sponsoring a three day advanced program intended to introduce different models of ethics programs, differing models of services that ethics programs provide as well as enhance the skills of those institutional representatives already serving on ethics programs and who have already obtained the education expected of most ethics committee members. In addition, the program is also intended to supply the tools to participants so that they can identify areas in the institution where ethics programs might consider enlarging their role. Faculty will include members of the UVA ethics program, the UVA Ethics Consultation Service, as well members of ethics programs from other institutions.
Program registration will be limited so that registrants are able to fully interact with colleagues and faculty. The cost of the program is
$650 per registrant, the fee includes breakfasts, lunches, CMEs or CEUs, and conference materials.
For more information and a brochure, please call or e-mail the Program Administrator, Carrie Gumm, at 434.924.5695 or cg2b@virginia.edu.
