Connect with 20/20:
He's taller than you would imagine. And MUCH leaner than he appears on TV. And… yes… that is his hair. And it's really not that bad. Sort of like a one-year-old (red-headed) baby's hair.And in no way is he dismissive even though his public persona has soared thanks to his recent reality show, "The Apprentice," and his catch-phrase "You're Fired!" In fact, it actually seems like "You're Hired!" might be Donald Trump's greatest success-salvo since one of his most brilliant business acumens seems to be surrounding himself with the most talented people for the job at hand.He's totally done that with his new Donald J. Trump Signature Collection of eyewear from Eyewear Designs. Now we won't try to fool you into thinking we spent hours chatting with our buddy Donald about the color potential of zyl, the astonishing ascent of semi-rimless and the potential pitfalls of having Omarosa peddle mirrored pince-nez. Our time with him was extremely brief. We never even got to sit… although he did. He just suddenly appeared in a conference room in his Trump Towers office suite, solidly shook hands, snickered slightly when we handed him a copy of 20/20 and immediately commented on the fact that we should be suing ABC's 20/20 news magazine show for stealing our name. "So you folks put out a magazine on eyewear. That's good because I feel glasses are gaining in importance. That's what Andrea [Gluck, Eyewear Design's co-president and the driving force behind bringing the branded Trump collection to optical] tells me and I believe her because they're [Eyewear Designs… remember? You need to follow fast here because when a born-n-bred New Yorker makes a point the logic is there but the latitude of thought is broad and rapid] the best I've found to create an eyewear brand that's worthy of the Trump name and what people expect when they buy something great with my name on it."Whew. At this point we're just there to keep pace as Trump notes HIS accent AND Andrea's accent and MY accent all speeding solidly down Queens Boulevard since birth. "You look like a pretty smart guy. You sound like one too. I'm sure you've seen some of the Trump glasses and since you're wearing glasses you can tell me that we're on target here, which, of course, we are." They are… and it's a pleasure telling him about some recent trends in eyewear and even edging in a question about his vision and the possibility of his wearing glasses."Right now I see things by wearing a contact lens in one eye but I want to start wearing glasses and I can prove that by putting these on for you right now." He does that and then obliges by keeping them on for the whole super-sonic photo shoot. "Andrea, can you make me up a few pairs of these? James, should I get plastic lenses or glass ones. Which'r better? Can we get these made into sunglasses for when I play golf?"Following some rapid education on current lens tech (and an extremely goofy attempt on my part to show him that 20/20 incorporates a whole Lens & Tech magazine) Trump decides to give us his opinion about the most negative aspect of laser surgery… and it's a great one. "I've got this close friend who always wore great, thick black frames like those giant frames Aristotle Onassis use'ta wear. Well, then he had the surgery on his eyes and the first time I saw him without his glasses he looked ancient. It was because his great glasses where covering up all the wrinkles around his eyes. I felt like tellin' him ya wasted ya money. Maybe I'll give him a pair of my new glasses. Andrea, can we get them made up for him with some fake lenses?"Trump assures me he'll certainly be wearing his new glasses soon because he always wears ALL of his branded products. He shows me his cufflinks. He asks me to touch the sleeve of his impeccable navy blue suit. "It's selling very well in Macy's and everybody should shop there because that's where real New Yorkers shop." He points out that all his ties are licensed Trumps and tells me I should try the cologne, which he's also wearing. It actually smells good… sorta like baby powder… so perfect with his hair. And suddenly it's over in seven minutes and six seconds by the trusty counter on my tape recorder. "I think you probably have enough now. I hope you put me on your cover. You are putting me on your cover, right?"
It hadn't been our initial intention but the man (and the mogul) won us over. As developed by Andrea Gluck and her Eyewear Design Team the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection is a brand that hits exactly the right notes in terms of style, price, appeal and approach at this moment in optical. In initial delivery it doesn't compromise on a promise to be at once bold and modern, yet intensely wearable—face friendly in distinct styles and a variety of shapes and materials designed specifically for men and for women. And although he freely admits he had nothing to do with the design and development, Trump had everything to do with scrutinizing every detail and energizing the product in his own inimitable style.This is a business and real estate adventurer capable of continually re-inventing, re-invigorating and re-establishing his public persona and his personal fortune no matter what the odds. As well as being on our cover "The Donald" is also coming to Las Vegas soon with The Trump International Hotel & Tower, a 60-story super-luxury condominium right on the strip. And, most importantly, for our opti-purposes, Donald Trump is both a man and a brand capable of putting eyewear front and center on the face of America and faces of countless Americans from aspiring apprentices to established business pros intent on improving their vision and doing it with a crafty take on style and good sense. n

Confident 'Dawgs take down Tupelo
The Bulldogs silenced critics and gave fans something to look forward to, as they defeated Tupelo, 24-14, at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium last Saturday.
In their final tune up before the new season, New Albany showed poise and did not back down against their 6A opponent.
"It was a big win for our guys.," NAHS head coach Ron Price said. "We've been in a long three week period of just hitting on each other, and it was exciting to get out on the field and see another opponent out there."
Tupelo scored on their opening possession, but New Albany responded with a six minute drive capped by a field goal from Sam Jackson Dunnam. The Bulldogs took their first lead later in the half on a touchdown from Tyler Basil to Josh Creekmore.
"From that point forward we held the momentum," Price said. "Our offense was clicking and the defense improved throughout the day. I felt that our guys conditioning and effort were good, and thankfully we were able to pull out a win."
Tupelo opened the second with another touchdown only to fall behind in the next series after Basil found Taylor Goode, taking the 17-14 lead.
New Albany's defense came through in the clutch, creating back-to-back turnovers with the 'Dawgs scoring once more on a Basil to Josh Hardin touchdown.
"We feel like we're better defensively this year," Price said. "Our guys are hustling to the ball and putting forth a lot more effort this year. They forced a couple turnovers that were big plays that put us in great field position. Once we get everyone where they need to be, I think our defense will be a good unit for us this year."
Basil finished with three touchdowns in the win, and credits the offensive line for their success against the Golden Wave.
"It starts with the offensive line," he said. "They did a good job protecting and everything, and the receivers did a good job catching the ball. The running backs did a good job finding the holes, and I threw the ball where it needed to be. We did really good, and we're just going to keep working to do that."
The Bulldogs took in the win, as they were excited about the opportunity to play at Ole Miss.
"Just the atmosphere was amazing. The only thing that could have been better was if it was packed out," Basil said. "Just being able to play on an SEC field, division one school was great. I can't describe the feeling."
"I've always come to the Ole Miss games, and I've always wanted to play on this field," senior linebacker Zach Hand said. "The only time I've been on the field was when we came here for football camps, so it's been a great experience. We really enjoyed it and I think we improved playing here today."
Hand best summed up the experience, as the Bulldogs now prepare for Booneville.
"They were supposed to run over us; everyone thought they would. We've been practicing hard for three and a half weeks, and I think it showed today."

2 cute to be this uncomfortable...
"When I pulled this shoe out the box, the whole room got quiet. That was the reaction I wanted. What I didnt want was the toe squeezing, heel pinching foolishness that came with this beautiful shoe. It runs a little short, but just enough that getting the zipper up in the back (while my big toe hung over the front) was almost impossible. Needless to say...with a sad heart, I returned it."

Wide feet beware
"These shoes are not for those of us that have wide feet. They run narrow and pitch the toes. They are true to size and they would be comfortable for someone with narrow feet. I got these in grey and loved them when I saw them. The ankle strap is really comfortable and isnt too tight, its also adjustable. I tried going a whole size up however they still hurt. I had to return them."

An inside look at the weekly m-commerce index.
Last week we received a comment from a reader questioning the reliability of the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index. Mobile and web performance management firm Keynote Systems Inc. provides this index exclusively to Internet Retailer every week. The index measures m-commerce home page site performance, both the load time (the amount of time it takes to download all elements of the page from the server to the smartphone) and the success rate (the percentage of times a page downloads successfully). The index is a great resource for retailers in m-commerce to use as a benchmark to guide their performance efforts and to learn from others.
The reader said the index is "in no way representative of the mobile retailer space." Actually, Keynote Systems executives and I thoroughly scanned the mobile market to come up with retailers of different sizes (from Amazon.com Inc. to Toolfetch.com LLC), from different product categories (from J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to Victoria's Secret to Walgreen Co.), and from different channels (from web-only merchant Overstock.com Inc. to TV and web retailer ShopNBC.com to retail chain Staples Inc.). This is an excellent cross-section of retailers, 30 in all, in the mobile space.
The reader went on to say that "some notable exceptions are missing from this list" and that "in the future I'd like to see a much more comprehensive list." His letter was quite timely. Last week, after weeks of testing, we doubled the size of the index from 15 to 30. Again we added a good cross-section, including some more heavy hitters. As for "notable exceptions," as with any list, people will have their own ideas of who they think should be on a list, and an index is designed to be representative, not all-inclusive. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average, for example, only tracks 30 stocks.) The 30 retailers on the weekly Keynote index really run the gamut of mobile commerce and show the range of site performance.
The reader wanted to know where the methodology was. It always is spelled out clearly in the last two paragraphs of the story. The reader then asked a technical question: "Android Chrome browser and Safari iOS have two different ways of rendering web pages, how can you ensure consistency in testing results?" Keynote responds, "We do not capture and include client rendering time in the index data because it varies not only because of different browsers but also because of physical characteristics and conditions of the device, such as CPU power, the number of background tasks, etc. By not including the rendering time, the index data reports the best load time possible for all sites equally." In other words, the index doesn't measure the time it takes the phone to render a mobile web page, thus avoiding the issue of how to measure rendering time consistently.
And finally the reader asks, "How can you compare a site like StrandBooks.com to a more full-featured mobile site like Amazon?" That's part of the point of the list, to see how different sites and different approaches to m-commerce compare and contrast. This list isn't just for smaller retailers, who are on a budget, or bigger retailers, who have millions to spend. This list is for everybody. A reader can look at the list and learn that a heavier home page can take more time to load; conversely, a lighter home page can take less time. A reader can look at those times and then pull up the sites on her smartphone and judge for herself how her m-commerce site should look compared with how much it should weigh in kilobytes. There are many lessons to be learned.
Keynote Systems is a highly reputable performance measurement and management firm that has worked with Internet Retailer to provide this excellent resource for readers. And for many more resources, click on the Trends + Data tab above. We're here to serve you, the reader. And you can count on Internet Retailer to bring you the best information on e-commerce and m-commerce.

STARKVILLE – After a recent column on the election results that made marijuana use and possession legal in two U.S. states, a thoughtful reader responded with a dissenting view.
My column pointed out that now that voters in the states of Colorado and Washington have approved legalizing the sale of marijuana in their states, there is the inevitable showdown between these new state laws and current federal law that makes marijuana sales illegal in all states.
The laws passed in Colorado and Washington allow the recreational use of marijuana and require that the states set up a bureaucracy to license, regulate and tax those sales. That regulatory system is expected to be very similar to the bureaucracies that exist in states to license, regulate and tax the sales of liquor, wine and beer.
The reader wrote: "The federal government has no authority to regulate marijuana, and certainly none to ban it. It occurred to me recently that it took an amendment to the Constitution to ban alcohol, and the stroke of a pen to ban marijuana. What changed in the Constitution in the meantime? Nothing.
"The war on drugs is dangerous, more dangerous than the drugs. The war on drugs is costly, more costly than the drugs. It is a violation of the concept of self-ownership and an assault on liberty. Also, it's a failure. It doesn't work. Prohibition never does," the reader concluded.
While I don't agree with the reader's contention that the federal government can't regulate marijuana possession and use, the fact is that the vote in Colorado and Washington is being played out over just the questions raised in my column and by my reader.
The Obama administration and the Justice Department are debating just what action will be taken by the federal government over enforcement of federal drug laws while the two states engage in their marijuana decriminalization efforts.
From the standpoint of the law, marijuana is illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. A federal court battle over the conflict between state laws and the CSA would be the most ready basis for federal government legal action challenging the new state laws.
The day before the Washington state law became effective; the U.S. Justice Department released the following preemptive strike on Wednesday – the day before the initiative took effect in Washington warning state residents that the drug remained illegal.
"In enacting the Controlled Substances Act, Congress determined that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance. Regardless of any changes in state law, including the change that will go into effect on December 6 in Washington State, growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remains illegal under federal law."
What is clear at this point is that the Obama administration will have to choose between the pressure from law enforcement for strict enforcement of existing federal laws and pressure from within the Democratic Party to strongly consider these decriminalization efforts. Decriminalizing marijuana has long been a policy sought by more liberal Democrats.
It is ironic, however, that the far Left may find ready allies among more libertarian conservatives who see the effort to decriminalize pot as a question of state's rights and constitutional freedom.
Bottom line, it will be a long time before the smoke clears on this issue.

Seeing the centre
The art of Albert Namatjira 1902-1959
A National Gallery of Australia Travelling Exhibition
Proudly sponsored by MARSH
4 October 2002 - 19 January 2003
Albert Namatjira painted
Not so much the things he saw
But what he felt inside
From Archie ROACH
'Native Born'
(Melbourne: Mushroom Music Publishing 1990)
Albert Namatjira (1902-1959)
is one of Australia's best known artists, whose landscape paintings
have become iconic images synonymous with the Australian outback. His paintings are
expressions of his personal relationship with The Centre, in particular, Western Aranda (Arrernte)
country to which he was spiritually bound. Namatjira's distinctive deep blue and purple shadows
of Mount Hermannsburg, the iron red of Standley Chasm and Glen Helen Gorge, the gnarled
white trunks of ghost gums and river red gums have etched their way into the Australian psyche.
No longer can Namatjira's
work be dismissed as purely derivative or decorative, rather, he is now
seen to have deliberately reworked the models of European watercolour tradition for his own
purposes. His images show a powerful and potent land created in the Dreaming, that transcends
the influence of European settlement. The exhibition and its catalogue seeks to redress previous
misconceptions about the art and life of Namatjira.
Roger Butler, the
coordinating curator responsible for this exhibition, and Alison French,
researcher and author of the exhibition catalogue, have drawn from public and private collections
some of the finest watercolours by Namatjira. Contextual works will also be on display from his
early years in Hermannsburg situated west of Alice Springs, where he learned to paint from artist,
Rex Battarbee.
The exhibition will
conclude with works that show responses from both Aboriginal and non-
Aboriginal perspectives, including watercolours by other members of his family and Sir William
Dargie's portrait of Namatjira that won the 1956 Archibald Prize.
The National Gallery
of Australia has organised this exhibition to tour nationally and coincide
with the centenary of Namatjira's birth on 28 July 1902, when it opens at the Araluen Centre for
Arts and Entertainment in Alice Springs on Saturday, 27 July 2002. From there it will tour to the
National Gallery of Australia for its 20th birthday celebration, Art Gallery of South Australia,

Nice Boot
"Can be worn for rainy weather or dressy evening. I was looking for something that can be worn interchangeably. The only issue is the quilted part of the boot sticks to my skin which makes it difficult to take off and get on. Unfortunately I will have to return. Looks nice when it's on. Love the style."

Short Term 12 (Destin Cretton | USA | 96 min.)
Rooftop Films screened writer-director Destin Cretton's short film of the same title in 2009, and it's thrilling to see him expand on the characters and themes in this accomplished feature-length film. Cretton's sophomore feature pulls off a tricky balance of imbuing its story with emotional weight while not coming across as cloying in the process. The situation is inherently affecting, but the filmmaker complicates it with characters worth rooting for.
That success is aided by impeccable performances all around. Brie Larson, to date best known for her role on the now-defunct "United States of Tara," delivers a tremendously involving turn as Grace, the young supervisor of the facility drawn into the distinctive needs of various patients while maintaining a warm relationship with co-worker Mason (an equally believable Jason Gallagher Jr.). Behind closed doors, they engage in charming romantic chatter, but when among the patients they display a different sort of passion subtly realized over the course of a patiently constructed narrative.
Driven by their own history of problems that led them to the facility in the first place, Mason and Grace treat their jobs as a ways of life; in turn, the movie rarely leaves the foster home, inviting us into their routine of taming angry youth and exploring the cycle of overcoming personal hangups in intimate detail. But Cretton balances off the serious material with intensely likable protagonists whose penchant for cracking jokes under duress -- restraining tantrum-riddled patients, for example -- deepens their credibility and eases us into environment before advancing its poignancy. Instead of overstating its core ideas, Cretton reveals them through the minutiae of conversation, with Grace championing a commitment to "talk about what's going on inside your head." By the end of Short Term 12, we're not just in their heads but fully able to relate to them.

"These shoes run a tad on the short side but I still fit my regular size. I can see some people needing to order up half a size or so. I absolutely love these shoes. They are the perfect height for a casual shoe and I really enjoy the extra glimmer around the edges of the straps. They are very comfortable. I wore them for 5 or 6 hours the first time and didn't have any problems with blisters or anything. They are a bit trick to buckle at first."

Size runs way small
"I normally wear a size 7, but after reading reviews, I went up a half-size. I have normal width feet, and these shoes were unbelievably small. I MIGHT have fit into a 8.5 comfortably. Who would ever think to order a size and a half above their normal shoe size. I won't be attempting to buy any more within this brand. It's a shame, I really liked the style for work."

Comfy but looks cheap close up
"It's very hard to tell from the photos, but the suede is surrounded by thin, metallic gold edging that just looks cheap close up. However, the shoes look great from a distance and are comfortable, so they're a good buy overall."
By: Melissa1278

Comfortable and versatile
"These are very comfortable. I got them in light tan and they look cute with jeans and capris. I like the heel height for work - not too high or flashy. The buckle is a little difficult to undo and do so I slide the strap over my heel to put on and take off. I hope it doesn't cause the strap to wear too quickly."

Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Hiramura should be number 1 for the next issue with all the negativity coming from this incident. hahaha
It was an epic chapter. The last page was impressive.

Hot damn, I loved how Ashirogi not only managed to beat Nanamine, but also Azuma. I like that.
Although the whole "it doesn't have heart" thing was cheesy. Also, did anyone else get horrible Near flashbacks when Nanamine was playing with those darts? Or is that just me?
Oh and Aoki being told that she couldn't win is a bit of a let down. She seems to keep getting pushed to the side.
and Hiramaru finally found a way to get out of work after trying so hard for years.
Hiramaru effed up and now he is going to miss out on being called Kazu tan. Hope all the negativity from this experience will fuel his come back. He is sure to place in the first three for his next chapter.
Also Asuma beating Nanamine was the icing on the cake. The guy is too complacent.
Oh and I was very happy for Asuma when he felt he could now go to Kawaguchi's grave with his head held high.
Nanamine to me doesn't learn from his mistakes so I guess he will plan a grander scheme after this although I don't think that will happen because of how monotonous and redundant it will be but I don't see him changing after this just like how madara won't change his mind after a talk-no-jutsu.

Now, Hiramaru's antics are starting to wear a bit thin on me. Which is a bit disappointing. Still I laughed when Kosugi mentioned he dislocated his hip later on in the chapter.
i hope Nanamine is out of the picture.it will be pretty annoying for him to comeback and repeat again another of his method.and the Duo needs an Anime ,badly.
Yeah they really need the anime if for nothing at all to realise mashiro and azuki's dream although with all the talk about pcp i don't know how they can pull off an anime. I guess their best bet is to start a new manga, one that has both the qualities that brings their style out more and can be made into an anime. I don't know why they have still not tried that non-mainstream yet mainstream manga idea they had earlier yet. i really want them to get an anime.

Canada advances to quarterfinals at Olympic qualifierTIJUANA, Mexico – Canada easily defeated Honduras 25-9, 25-8, 25-10 on Tuesday afternoon and advanced to the quarterfinals at the eight-country Olympic qualifying tournament in women's volleyball.
With the victory Canada concludes the round robin portion of the tournament with a win and two losses for third place in Group A. Canada, ranked 22nd in the world, will either face Mexico (27th internationally) or Cuba (10th) in Wednesday's quarterfinal. Mexico and Cuba face each other for first spot in Group B later Tuesday night.
The winner of the tournament earns a ticket to the 2012 London Games.
Kyla Richey of Vancouver was the top Canadian scorer with 16 points, Tonya Mokelki of Weyburn, Sask., added 15 and Marisa Field of Vancouver 14. The Canadian served a whopping 13 aces and out blocked Honduras 10-2.
''We played our second line-up most of the game and they did a good job,'' said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. Setter Kelci French of Okotoks, Alta., made her international debut with the national team.
Mokelki, who hadn't played in the first two matches was pleased to be involved in Canada's first win of the tournament.
''There's a lot of excitement on the team right now and we are looking forward to our next match,'' she said. ''It was a fortunate break today that we had chance to rest some of our top players and the way played today really helped the team.''
Top Canadian scorers Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man., both took the opportunity to rest for Wednesday's big match.
Canada's quarterfinal is scheduled for 8 p.m. (EDT) Wednesday and will be streamed on-line at www.norceca.org

Testimony continues in Stuart murder trial
A Washington State Patrol Crime Lab analyst takes the stand in the murder trial of Tashia Stuart today.
Mitchell Messan helped document evidence from the inside of the Pasco home where the March 2011 murder is alleged to have happened.
Today, he showed dozens of pictures of the home showing possible blood spatter, bullet fragments, and the gun used in the shooting.
Stuart is accused of shooting her adoptive mother Judy Hebert to death.
Stuart's attorneys argue the shooting was in self defense.
Testimony is scheduled to continue tomorrow.

Mission Accomplished
The setting is the 2010 4A State Championship, where New Albany, the state's top team and undefeated North Half Champion, falls to Raymond; the team's only loss of the season. From that moment on, there was only one goal on the minds of the Lady Bulldogs, particularly the eight girls who would be seniors: to make it back to Jackson and finish the job.
"It was heartbreaking," Micha Washington said.
"It was like, if we had another chance, we would want to go back and do it again and win," teammate Nyambi Penson added.
Along with Washington and Penson, six other girls (Porche White, Kebrina Lucas, Paris Sanders, Caroline Stroud, Marquita Young and Jasmine Knox) did just that this season, capping their careers at New Albany with the 4A Championship.
But this is far from the beginning of the story for this group. The potential of this class was seen well before they even played in their first varsity game. As eighth graders, the girls went a perfect 21-0, and at that point were encouraged to stick together.
"I remember when the coaches sat us down after that season and told us that we could do this if we stayed together," White said. "And we did. It was worth it in the end."
Not only did the group stay together, but in three years, they accomplished several feats:
-88-10 overall record (89.8 winning percentage)
-Three Division 1-4A Tournament Championships ('09, '10, '11)
-26-1 record in division play
-Two North Half Championships ('10, '11)
-Completed the 2011 season undefeated versus Mississippi teams (27-0)
-Three Union County Tournament Championships ('09,'10, '11)
"Usually coaches don't have the opportunity to have eight girls stay the entire four years, and I've been blessed to have most start their freshman year and all their sophomore year," Head Coach John Stroud said. "They'll definitely be missed on the court and off the court."
In an attempt to better prepare themselves for this year's state tournament, Stroud strengthened the schedule, which saw the Lady 'Dawgs traveling to Arkansas for a national tournament, as well as taking on Memphis Central and Bob Jones in local tournaments.
"We just came back to school and just went at it, playing harder teams, out of state teams," White said.
Dropping four games this season may have seemed like a let down considering their undefeated regular season mark in 2010, but the girls were in agreement that the end result is all that matters, even if they endured a loss or two along the way.
"I think it taught us how to take a loss and that we were beatable, but we can win, too," White said. "In those loses, we were playing bad, but despite that, we only lost by like five or 10 points, so it wasn't because we were terrible, it's just that we couldn't finish."
"They were physical, but we didn't play to our full potential," Penson added "Had we done that, I feel like we could have beaten them."
New Albany also played under immense pressure, as they were the state's top ranked team for the entire season. Game in and game out, it was a tougher season than most fans realize.
"The expectations were high and the pressure was tough," White said. "We would have a lot of turnovers or a rough game, and people would be disappointed in us, and that's what we battled throughout the season."
Having a coach with experience in these situations helped the girls, as they knew Stroud was once in their shoes when he played at West Union.
"It's like we all had that 'you don't know what you're talking about' attitude, but with him, he really knows what he's talking about,"Penson said. "To me, he's a great coach."
"He's always pushed us hard, and this year especially, he knew what he was doing," Lucas added.
Spending your high school career with the same people day in and day out can bring drama and conflict, but for the girls, it has been nothing but fun memories.
"During North Half, Porche made a pass to Jazmine and she made a layup, then Porche screamed and showed emotion, and that was the first time I had seen that from her; getting us fired up. It felt good to see a teammate show emotion like that," Penson said of one of her fondest memories.
"It's hard to pinpoint just one memory because all we do is laugh," Washington said.
This senior class is loaded with talent, but are all currently undecided on their futures with basketball. One thing is for certain, that last week's championship has fueled these girls for more.
"After competing and winning this, it makes me want more and I don't want to stop," Penson said. "If someone approaches me and asks me to play next year, I'll do it."
As for Stroud, he will have one starter returning in Jazmine Spears, and will now have the task of filling the shoes of one of the most talented classes to come through New Albany.
"I think it will be a long time before anyone sees the talent these eight seniors have," he said. "They're all good students, they're all going to graduate and go to college next year. They've been good models on and off the court, and they'll be missed."

Santa will find a few more stockings hung at their own chimneys this year as projections show a decrease in holiday travelers.
"This Christmas through New Year's holiday 53.7 million Americans plan to travel 50 miles or more from home. This is a decrease of 6 percent from last year's 57.1 million travelers," reports Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokeswoman. "In Utah there will be 429,600 holiday travelers."
The 6 percent decrease is the same rate as the decrease in travelers during the last Thanksgiving holiday when 34.6 million Americans traveled as compared with 36.8 million the year before.
Approximately 42.2 million travelers are expected to go by motor vehicle this year.
This number represents a 1 percent drop from the 42.7 million who took a trip last year. Travelers taking a plane, train or bus will number 11.5 million. This is a 20 percent decrease from the 14.4 million who traveled last year.
"While concerns about air travel security by some Americans are a factor, the current recession and the nation's unemployment situation are the major contributors to the expected decline in holiday travel," said Fairclough.
Spurred in part by gas prices that have fallen to their lowest level since March 1999, 79 percent of those traveling this holiday will go by auto compared to 75 percent one year ago.
The Southeast is expected to have the greatest numbers of auto travelers with 11.4 million.
The western states come in second with 10.3 million travelers. Forty percent of the travelers plan to visit a town or rural area while another 34 percent expect to go to a city.
Sixty-four percent of travelers plan to stay with a friend or relative and another 23 percent will be staying at a hotel or motel.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Several citizens were on hand at the recent Castle Dale City Council meeting to state some concerns about events in the city. Mayor Neal Peacock welcomed the residents to the meeting to voice their concerns.
The first concern was voiced by a resident concerning the speed of the traffic on his street. He said many children live in the area and requested the city install speed limit signs to try to slow the traffic. His home is near Cheddar Field and he says when there is an activity in the park, the road has a high volume of traffic.
Mayor Peacock informed the resident the speed limit is 25 miles per hour in all residential areas of Castle Dale. The council agreed to install stop signs on each end of the street and speed limit and children at play signs along the route. In several weeks, they will evaluate the situation and determine if the signs have helped. Mayor Peacock will also request extra patrols of the area from the Sheriff's Office.
Another resident addressed the council with his concerns about ordinance enforcement. The city has recently appointed an ordinance enforcement officer, Richard Herring, and he is beginning to send out letters to those citizens in violation of any ordinance. Letters are going out for any number of ordinance violations, from watering during the day to beautification of individual yards. The enforcement officer is also enforcing ordinances that deal with businesses and their signage.
The resident stated his neighbor had received a letter concerning the weeds in front of his property. The neighbor has been sick and cannot do the work, and the resident has been doing it for the neighbor. "This person is a great guy," said the resident. "The letter has caused him a great deal of mental anguish."
GayLee Jeffs, council person over beautification, said the committee decides who gets the letters. She said they had talked with the neighbor before a letter was sent out. Mayor Peacock informed the resident of a person's civic duty to keep the weeds clear in front of their home, even if the property belongs to the city. Mayor Peacock also assured the resident that his neighbor has not been singled out and at least 26 letters were sent with more in the coming days.
The resident went on to suggest the city begin to enforce more of the ordinances dealing with signage in the city. He stated many signs are still up along Main Street where the businesses no longer exist. "This is very confusing and unsightly. We need to take care of that problem," the resident concluded.
Stop signs were the next concern of another Castle Dale resident. She said the cars speed along her street and she would like to see the existing stop signs moved from the North-South corners and placed on the East-West corners. "Many of my neighbors will not let their children out of the house to play during lunch hour at the high school. School will begin soon and we would like this problem looked at," she said.
Mayor Peacock assigned Councilman Brad Giles to research with the Utah Department of Transportation the procedure for moving and changing stop signs. Councilman Joel Dorsch suggested the area residents call the Sheriff's Office for extra patrol.
The final concern from a resident came from a Main Street property owner. He stated when there are fireworks at the rodeo grounds, his livestock and pets get very upset and scared. Some have injured themselves and required euthanization. "I am requesting you find a parcel of city property somewhere else to have the fireworks," he said. The resident said he feels the city should be responsible for the damage to livestock in the city during fireworks displays. He told the council he is not the only person to lose livestock this way.
In other business conducted by the council, Mayor Peacock informed them of the number of dog problems happening in Castle Dale recently. Many residents have been bitten by dogs which are being allowed to run loose. If a person has a problem with an animal, he should call the animal control officer, Wendy Larsen at 381-5402.
The next Castle Dale City Council meeting will be held Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. in city hall.

Youth & Family Studies
Careers in Youth & Family Ministry and Work
Though no one can guarantee a job, the market for trained youth and family workers is very strong and appears to be so in the immediate future. Churches have realized that the only thing worse than not having a youth, children's, or family pastor is to have one that doesn't know what he or she is doing. Our program has an excellent reputation and many new inquiries regarding our graduating students EVERY YEAR.
At the end of this page, please use LINKS to see current jobs available (locally and across the world) in Youth, Children's, and Family Ministry/Work Careers. There are many!
Youth & Family Studies students seek and find employment in a broad variety of youth or family ministry settings:
- Church Youth Ministry
High School Youth Ministry
Middle School Youth Ministry
Children's Ministry
- Church Young Adult Ministry
- Para-church Youth Ministry (Young Life-YL, Youth for Christ-YFC, Young Lives, Fellowship of Christian Athletes-FCA, Child Evangelism Fellowship-CEF, Teen Mops, etc.)
- Urban Youth Ministry (Center for Student Missions, Rescue Missions, etc.)
- Para-church Young Adult Ministry (Campus Crusade for Christ, Intervarsity, Navigators, Disciple Makers, Athletes in Action, etc.)
- Family Ministry or Services (in the church and in organizations like Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, and many varying Family Services fields, etc.)
- Youth Missions (overseas youth ministry- YWAM, AIM, many others)
- Youth Work Overseas (in the U.K. there are many varying types of government youth work positions needed; Peace Corps, etc.)
- Military Chaplaincy and various other chaplaincy options
- Agency Counselors or Directors (Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries, etc.)
- Youth Work in the U.S. (YMCA, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Club, etc.)
- At Risk Youth (Group Homes, Juvenile Detention Programs, Wilderness Adventure, etc.)
- Camping & Recreation (Camps and Many Recreation Programs)
- Graduate School (Divinity, Child & Family, Marriage & Family, Counseling)
Job and Salary Realities- Graduate earnings within the field
Group Magazine March/April 2012 provides one of the most recent surveys across the country on what those in the youth ministry field can expect to earn. According to the survey the average salary for someone under age 25 was $32,100.00 and for those between 40 and 45, $59,500. The average salary for someone in ministry under 5 years was $31,800, between 16 and 20 years was $51,800.00.
The average salary for someone with a High School degree was $20,000.00, an undergraduate degree was $35,100.00, and Master's Degree was $42,900.00. The average salary in the North East was $35,800.00. The average number of sick days allotted was 7, and paid vacation days was 13. Almost 80% of youth leaders feel confident in their abilities to pay their bills, with another 18% somewhat confident. 72% believe that their salaries are fair, while 57% of youth pastors who asked for raises received them. Many Youth Pastors also receive compensation in these semi-common ways: health insurance, housing allowance, pension, continuing education, travel, cell phone plan, and/or use of a parsonage.
While the Group article indicated a decrease in full time jobs available today, compared to 5 years ago, that belief must relate more to who is responding to Group's survey than what is happening in reality. We (Nyack's YFS Dept.) had more calls for full time youth ministry positions than we had graduating students. Len and I both also received phone calls from several Youth Ministry colleagues at other institutions asking if we had any available students- as they could not meet position demands either. Ministry positions available at job sites also seem to contradict Group's belief (see all of the links below and check them out for yourself).
As a side-note, the wealthiest people in America (top 1%) were recently surveyed to see what undergraduate college majors most of them chose for study. Seven majors were most frequently identified. Right beside "Economics" and "Finance" was the 5th most common major- "religious" studies. "In studying specific faiths…students gain knowledge about the nature of religion in general and its role in the life of individuals and societies." [Greg Scott Neuman, (2012), 7 Majors that can put you in the top 1% of Earners; U.S. News University Directory, referring to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey of 2010.]
We do not want students to study within the College of Bible and Christian Ministry, in Youth & Family Studies, just to get wealthy! And we do not guarantee they will. But, the type of education provided in the YFS program helps our students to truly mature individually and socially, and have a great advantage in securing employment upon graduation. Our graduates also benefit personally and familially, no matter what career choices they make.
We update our YFS job bulletin board every semester with new available positions. All positions posted come from those who contact us! Once again (2014), we had/have more positions available through personal contacts than we had/have graduating seniors. We need more students interested in serving families, youth, and children in ministry/work. *Children's ministry positions are trending better than in the last 10 years.

"A pastor advised me not to pursue a job in ministry through websites- as all jobs are secured through personal networking. My YFS faculty advised me differently. So I went onto one of the job-search sites listed on the YFS website and sent out some resumes. With-in one month, I had advanced to late-round interviews with three different churches; I accepted one offer, and withdrew from consideration in the others. Today, I'm gratefully serving as a Youth Pastor in Ohio- and am very glad I used the websites."
Matt Ryhnehart ('12)
"I'm happy with my salary ($70,000-ish), and of course, I hope that it continues to increase as my experience increases. My package also includes a house to live in, health coverage, retirement, and personal ministry expense reimbursement of $2,000. As for my youth ministry, I have a $9,500 Budget, another $3,000 for ministry transportation rental needs, and $3,500 for a summer intern. Got a good one?"
Alum in N.Y. metro area ('00)
"As a young person, I knew God had called me to ministry, but wasn't sure where. When I took a youth ministry course at Nyack College my direction became much clearer. Academically, my understanding of youth and family work broadened dramatically; personally, my walk with God matured. The support and guidance from my professors were extremely invaluable! Furthermore, the camaraderie among my classmates made my experience even more enjoyable. Joining the Youth & Family Studies department at Nyack College is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made!."
Brittany Kimlingen ('10), Youth Program Supervisor, The City Mission (Laura's Home for Women and Children's Crisis Center), Cleveland, Ohio

Did You Know? Countdown to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (01/10/10)Sunday, January 10th, 2010
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
about Martin Luther King &
the Civil Rights Movement
Jan. 10 : 08 Days to MLK Day
Did you know that on December 1, 1955, a seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to vacate her seat for a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus?
She was arrested — an event that would spark the boycott of the city's segregated bus lines.
The bus boycott was a Herculean effort spearheaded by Martin Luther King, Jr. and participated in by the entire black community of Montgomery. After nearly twelve months, the boycott ended with an historic decision by the Supreme Court requiring the city to fully desegregate its municipal bus lines. King's involvement in the boycott catapulted him onto the national stage, where for more than a decade he led the civil rights movement in non-violent protest.
Each year on the third Monday of January schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close as we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.
Join us for our look at the past 60 years of the civil rights movement and our countdown to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday January 18, 2010.

Unfortunately our Walmart does not carry the carts that were advertised by you. The scrapbooking "aisle" is at one end and as I was shopping, I saw the Expression in or near the electronics. Never would have seen it if I wasn't browsing. I have an Expression, but many people who were looking for it might have missed it. Our Walmart is not a great scrapbooking mecca.ReplyDelete

Just enough sparkle...
"I love this flat...very unique! I always buy a size 6 in this flat by Steve madden and this one runs true to size. It is a tiny it narrow compared to some of the other flats, but it isn't a deal breaker. Also, I've noticed that the newer patent version of this shoe has a problem with the inside of the flat peeling, but this shoe hasn't had that problem. I highly recommend!"

Super sparkly
"I was really excited about the flame patter on these shoes, but I didn't realize they would be so sparkly. The shoe was also not the most comfortable. My toes felt somewhat squished on the sides. I went with a zigi soho crocheted zig zag flat instead."

Comments: Bought a pair of these socks about 6 months ago and they got a lot of use.
They are comfortable and are hokding up well. However, they should have velcro tabs on
both the front and back of the socks so they would stay up a little better. But overall a very
good pair of socks!
