"Priesthood and auxiliary leaders and teachers strive to help others become true followers of Jesus Christ (see Mosiah 18:18–30). To assist individuals and families in this effort, they:
- Teach and testify of the pure doctrines of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Strengthen individuals and families in their efforts to keep their sacred covenants.
- Provide counsel, support, and opportunities for service" (Handbook 2, 1.2.2).
"Relief Society prepares women for the blessings of eternal life by helping them increase their faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and help those in need. Relief Society accomplishes these purposes through Sunday gospel instruction, other Relief Society meetings, visiting teaching, and welfare and compassionate service" (Handbook 2, 9.1.1).
"President Lorenzo Snow, the fifth President of the Church, said: 'You have ever been found at the side of the Priesthood, ready to strengthen their hands and to do your part in helping to advance the interests of the kingdom of God; and as you have shared in these labors, so you will most certainly share in the triumph of the work and in the exaltation and glory which the Lord will give to His faithful children.' As women participate in Relief Society, they serve as valiant disciples of Jesus Christ in the work of salvation. Like the women in the ancient Church, they work alongside men who hold the priesthood to increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need" (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 7).
Priesthood Authority
"All ward and stake auxiliary organizations operate under the direction of the bishop or stake president, who holds the keys to preside" (Handbook 2, 2.1.1).
"As the Lord's prophet, Joseph Smith held all the keys of priesthood authority on the earth. Therefore, when he organized the Relief Society to function under his overall direction, he unlocked opportunities for the women of the Church to play vital roles in the work of the Lord's kingdom" (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 15).
Build Unity and Harmony
"The Lord has said, 'Be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine' (D&C 38:27). Presiding officers encourage unity by seeking counsel from the men and women who serve with them. Members of presidencies and councils help establish unity by sharing their honest feelings and ideas, communicating clearly, and listening to one another.
"When leaders of Church organizations follow their priesthood leaders and when members of presidencies and councils are unified, they can receive guidance from the Holy Ghost and lead according to the Lord's will" (Handbook 2, 3.3.2).
"The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, 'All must act in concert or nothing can be done.' And he set an example by working in concert with others. Sister Eliza R. Snow remembered and cherished this example all her life. She shared it with local Church leaders when the Relief Society was reestablished in Utah. She taught that bishops were to 'have the same relation' with ward Relief Societies as Joseph Smith did with the Relief Society in Nauvoo. She also taught that 'each society … could not exist without [the bishop's] counsel' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 139-40).
Ward Council Meetings
"A council is a group of church leaders…in a ward or stake level who council together for the benefit of individuals and families. Council members also plan the work of the church…and unify their efforts in responding to individual, family and organizational needs." (Handbook 2, 4.1).
"Council members are encouraged to speak honestly, both from their personal experience and from their positions as organization leaders. Both men and women should feel that their comments are valued as full participants. The bishop seeks input from Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary leaders in all matters considered by the ward council. The viewpoint of women is sometimes different from that of men, and it adds essential perspective to understanding and responding to members' needs" (Handbook 2, 4.6.1).
"Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said: 'We believe in and are counting on your goodness and your strength, your propensity for virtue and valor, your kindness and courage, your strength and resilience. We believe in your mission as women of God. … We believe that the Church simply will not accomplish what it must without your faith and faithfulness, your innate tendency to put the well-being of others ahead of your own, and your spiritual strength and tenacity' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 172).
Elder Quentin L. Cook shares an example of how a ward council functions.
The Work of Salvation
"Members of the Church of Jesus Christ are sent forth 'to labor in his vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men' (D&C 138:56). This work of salvation includes member missionary work, convert retention, activation, of less-active members, temple and family history work, and teaching the gospel" (Handbook 2, 5).
"President Joseph F. Smith, the sixth President of the Church, said, 'This organization is divinely made, divinely authorized, divinely instituted, divinely ordained of God to minister for the salvation of the souls of women and of men' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 7).
Member Missionary Work
"Member missionary work is most effective when ward council members are fully engaged in the missionary effort. In quorums and auxiliaries, they encourage members to participate in missionary work in the following ways:
- Find and prepare people to be taught.
- Assist the missionaries when they teach (in members' homes, if possible).
- Fellowship investigators.
- Prepare themselves and their children to serve as full-time missionaries" (Handbook 2, 5.1.2).
"President Spencer W. Kimball, the twelfth President of the Church, [said]: 'Much of the major growth that is coming to the Church in the last days will come because many of the good women of the world (in whom there is often such an inner sense of spirituality) will be drawn to the Church in large numbers. This will happen to the degree that the women of the Church reflect righteousness and articulateness in their lives and to the degree that the women of the Church are seen as distinct and different—in happy ways—from the women of the world' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 95).
Convert Retention
"New Church members need the support and friendship of Church leaders, home teachers, visiting teachers, and other members. This support helps new members become firmly 'converted unto the Lord' (Alma 23:6)" (Handbook 2, 5.2).
" 'You are going to save souls, and who can tell but that many of the fine active people in the Church today are active because you were in their homes. … You are not only saving these sisters, but perhaps also their husbands and their homes' " (Spencer W. Kimball, in Daughters in My Kingdom, page 117).
"Ward priesthood and auxiliary leaders strive continually to help less-active members return to Church activity. The Savior said, 'Unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I shall heal them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto them' (3 Nephi 18:32)" (Handbook 2, 5.3).
" 'President Joseph Smith said this society was organized to save souls. What have the sisters done to win back those who have gone astray?—to warm up the hearts of those who have grown cold in the gospel?—Another book is kept of your faith, your kindness, your good works, and words. Another record is kept. Nothing is lost' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 83).
Temple and Family History
"Priesthood and auxiliary leaders teach ward members about basic responsibilities in temple and family history work. …
"They encourage members to receive their own temple ordinances and help immediate family members receive theirs. Leaders teach members that the purpose of the endowment is to prepare for exaltation, not merely to prepare for marriage or a mission.
"Leaders encourage each endowed member to hold a current temple recommend and go to the temple as often as circumstances and family needs allow. Leaders also encourage unendowed adults and youth ages 12 and older, including new members, to have limited-use temple recommends and go to the temple often to be baptized and confirmed for the dead. …
"Priesthood and auxiliary leaders teach members to participate in family history work by identifying their ancestral family members, requesting temple ordinances for them if needed, and providing these ordinances in the temple themselves if possible" (Handbook 2, 5.4).
"Sarah M. Kimball and Margaret Cook … wanted to help prepare a temple for the people. Under the inspiration and guidance of a prophet and other priesthood leaders, they and their sisters ultimately helped prepare a people for the temple. This work continues today. Guided by the principles Joseph Smith taught, Relief Society sisters work together to prepare women and their families for God's greatest blessings" (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 25).
Teaching the Gospel
"Priesthood and auxiliary leaders strive to teach the gospel effectively. They are also responsible for efforts to improve learning and teaching in their organizations" (Handbook 2, 5.5.3).
"President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles stated:
" 'The Relief Society works under the direction of the Melchizedek Priesthood, for "all other authorities or offices in the church are appendages to this priesthood." It was organized "after the pattern of the priesthood." …
" 'The Brethren know they belong to a quorum of the priesthood. Too many sisters, however, think that Relief Society is merely a class to attend. The same sense of belonging to the Relief Society rather than just attending a class must be fostered in the heart of every woman.'
"Priesthood quorums organize men in a brotherhood to give service, to learn and carry out their duties, and to study the doctrines of the gospel. Relief Society accomplishes these same purposes for the women of the Church. All women in the Church belong to Relief Society, even if they have other responsibilities that make it difficult for them to attend all Relief Society meetings. They continue to be watched over and taught through the sisterhood of Relief Society" (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 138-39).
"Sister Snow hoped that sisters would 'perceive a difference in their houses' after a visit. She counseled visiting teachers to prepare themselves spiritually before they visited homes so they would be able to ascertain and meet spiritual needs as well as temporal ones: 'A teacher … should surely have so much of the Spirit of the Lord, as she enters a house to know what spirit she meets in there. … Plead before God and the Holy Ghost to get [the Spirit] so that you will be able to meet that spirit that prevails in that house … and you may feel to talk words of peace and comfort, and if you find a sister feeling cold, take her to your heart as you would a child to your bosom and warm [her] up' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 108).
Welfare Principles and Leadership
"Welfare is central to the work of the high priests group, the elders quorum, and the Relief Society. In meetings of the high priests group leadership, the elders quorum presidency, and the Relief Society presidency, leaders plan ways to teach principles of self-reliance and service and to address welfare needs. Under the direction of the bishop, these leaders help members become self-reliant and find solutions to short-term and long-term welfare concerns" (Handbook 2, 6.2.4).
"President Young, the second President of the Church, expressed a desire to reestablish Relief Societies throughout the Church. The following year, President Young felt increased urgency to assist bishops in their responsibility to seek out and help those in need. Initiating an effort to reestablish Relief Society in every ward, he shared the following counsel with bishops: 'Let [the sisters] organize Female Relief Societies in the various wards. We have many talented women among us, and we wish their help in this matter. Some may think this is a trifling thing, but it is not; and you will find that the sisters will be the mainspring of the movement. Give them the benefit of your wisdom and experience, give them your influence, guide and direct them wisely and well, and they will find rooms for the poor and obtain the means for supporting them ten times quicker than even the Bishop could' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 41).
"President Spencer W. Kimball, the twelfth President of the Church, said, 'There is a power in this organization [of Relief Society] that has not yet been fully exercised to strengthen the homes of Zion and build the Kingdom of God—nor will it until both the sisters and the priesthood catch the vision of Relief Society' " (Daughters in My Kingdom, page 142).

All News Releases By Date
Warner Graham Settles Hazardous Waste Violations at Cockeysville, Md., Facility
Release Date: 01/13/2014
Contact Information: Donna Heron 215-814-5113 / email@example.com
PHILADELPHIA (Dec.. xx, 2013) -- Warner Graham, LLP, has agreed to pay a $80,650 penalty to settle alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations at its industrial solvent repackaging facility in Cockeysville, Md., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
EPA cited the company for violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the federal law governing the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA is designed to protect public health and the environment, and avoid costly cleanups, by requiring the safe, environmentally sound storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
Following an April 2012 EPA inspection, and follow-up investigations, EPA cited Warner Graham for RCRA violations involving solvent waste, which is a hazardous waste stored at the facility. The alleged violations involved several RCRA regulations, including requirements for hazardous waste monitoring and inspections, employee training, equipment and tank testing, equipment marking, secondary containment, contingency planning, recordkeeping and reporting.
In addition to the $80,650 penalty, the company has agreed to perform a $24,550 project to install a less permeable floor beneath the product storage tank area. This project, which exceeds regulatory requirements, will help minimize the potential environmental risk in the event of any accidental releases from these tanks.
The settlement penalty reflects the company's compliance efforts, and its cooperation with EPA in resolving this matter. As part of the settlement, the company has neither admitted nor denied liability for the alleged violations, but has certified its compliance with applicable RCRA requirements.

The Tribeca Film Festival, which extends beyond Manhattan's borders through the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) as the 501(c)3 nonprofit arm of the Festival, aims to educate and inspire young filmmakers, and is custom-made for the realization of your cinematic expectations via its Tribeca Film Fellows (TFF) Program.
Meet Frisly Soberanis, a sixteen-year old Guatamela native who arrived in New York in August 2001. He submitted his short film/documentary on the New York Military Youth Cadets (an after-school program of which he is a member), which garnered him a coveted spot in the TFF Class of 2010. Soberanis hopes to return next year as a TFF Graduate Assistant and advance his current focus: connecting and networking with other young filmmakers, while giving back to those who follow in his footsteps.
Meanwhile, Frisly is still delighting in the first-time joys of shooting 35mm!
Since its debut in 2001, TFI has become an industry-heralded institution that oversees a dozen major programs annually, reaching 10,000 people through its year-round programming in New York City as well as its featured initiatives at the Tribeca Film Festival.
TFI's sixth annual youth media gala screened "Our City, My Story" at Chelsea Clearview Cinemas on April 27, a celebration of the excellence and diversity of New York City youth-generated media. The special screening spot-lighted 13 youth-produced short films created over the last year.
Additionally, an introductory short film titled "Cityscapes," created collaboratively by the 2010 Tribeca Film Fellows depicting all five boroughs of New York City through the eyes of its young filmmakers, served as an introduction to "Our City, My Story."
At the conclusion of the TFF month-long program, four Film Fellows are awarded a $1,500 scholarship to further their education in film.
Nancy Saechao, a first generation Laotian American, University of Oregon graduate and a coordinator of the TFF program, describes the Fellows as a "...cohort of really diverse students that are in love with movies and making films." With a long-range lens, Saechao portrays the Film Fellows as developing a "pipe line with each other as peers" that presumably will result in the benefit of each and every Film Fellow, in both the near- and long-term.
Indeed the newly expanded TFI education programs - spearheaded by Lisa Lucas, TFI's Director of Education - include not only the Tribeca Film Fellows but Tribeca Teaches: Films in Motion, Tribeca All Access, TFI Sloan Filmmaker Fund, Camera to Classrooms Fund and TFI's Youth Screening Series.
TFI has also recently introduced JP Morgan Chase's Camera-to-Classroom Fund, which will allow cultural organizations to partner with New York City public schools and apply the curriculum and training outlined in the "Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts: The Moving Image." The Moving Image Blueprint is an innovative curriculum guide for the study of film, television and animation in elementary, middle and high schools.
Developed by TFI, the NYC Department of Education and the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, the Blueprint will be implemented in schools across the five boroughs and will also guide all of TFI's year-round and festival-based education programs, which include the expanded Tribeca Teaches: Films in Motion, the Tribeca Film Fellows Program" and TFI's Youth Screening Series.
"Media education can no longer be an afterthought for our schoolchildren," said Jane Rosenthal, co-chairperson of the Tribeca Film Institute's Board of Directors. "TFI is working to help make sure that New York City students grow up making films, learning from films and using that knowledge as they pursue higher education and ultimately, jobs."
An expansion of the Film Fellows Program will launch in late 2010 to assist high school filmmakers prepare for college. TFI will develop and staff an after-school college preparatory program designed to monitor, facilitate and empower film students to understand the academic opportunities and experiences available to them.
Film Fellow Alejandra Araujo, a Colombian American aspiring filmmaker, heads off to Belfast in June for a week to shoot a film [as a member of The Ghetto School] after graduation from Frank Sinatra School of the Performing Arts. In September, Ms. Araujo will enter New York University's Tisch School of the Arts (for the film/TV program), where she hopes to develop her creative writing skills.
Late this week, thanks to a meteor shower, there will be shooting stars in the skies. Consistent with the tradition of making a wish upon seeing a shooting star, keep your feet on the ground and start preparing either a short film, a screenplay and/or an essay that you can submit online [nyc.gov.boe] later this year or in early 2011 so that you will hopefully be a Tribeca Film Fellow when the Festival celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2011!

|In a move that may be shocking to some of our instrumental fans, Burnt Toast Vinyl has issued the vinyl for for mewithoutYou's Brother, Sister. They're everyone's favorite leftist, biodiesel bus-driving, freegan post-hardcore rockers and all around great guys. We've known Aaron and Greg for years, both having played in an earlier band with an ep release on btv in the label's infancy. Brother, Sister is one of our favorite records of 2006 and we're very proud to be able to give it a proper release on vinyl. It's the swan song release of their career–an indie rock opus that challenges their listening base, utilizing lush layers of melody, mixing in a bit of post-hardcore style, and quickly shifting gears back and forth, creating a unique amalgam of styles."I do not exist," mewithoutYou frontman Aaron Weiss mutters to open the band's third full-length, Brother, Sister, setting the tone for an album that explores cosmological, existential, and interpersonal crises with equal aplomb. However, while Weiss has become known for his stream-of-consciousness lyrics communicated via his half-sung/half-shouted vocals, Brother, Sister is a huge progression for Weiss personally, as well as the rest of the Philadelphia-based band—guitarist Michael Weiss, guitarist Christopher Kleinberg, bassist Greg Jehanian and drummer Rickie Mazzotta.In a musical landscape dominated by genre divisions and marketing campaigns,Brother, Sister is simply an album made by five people who create art without any limitations—and that's what makes it so important. While the album retains mewithoutYou's instantly recognizable post-hardcore sound, Weiss' vocals and the implementation of atypical instrumentation are the most instantly recognizable shifts from 2004's Catch For Us The Foxes. "A lot of our old stuff is all shouting and that's still there," explains Weiss. "But I've never really listened to heavy music; with this record, my goal was to make music that I wanted to listen to. Not everyone agreed at first, but I wanted to incorporate different types of melodies and instrument—and those are probably some of my favorite moments on the record."
While Foxes and mewithoutYou's debut [A -> B Life] were rife with delay-driven guitars, explosive drumming and driving songs, the beauty of Brother, Sister alternately lies in its subtleties. Opening with a lone Wurlitzer and minimal percussion, "Masses of Men" crams more emotion into three-minutes than screaming ever could; "The Dryness and the Rain" incorporates an middle-eastern orchestra for its chorus; and the quasi-ballad "A Sweater Poorly Knit" is probably the most epic song the band have ever crafted, featuring acoustic guitar, accordion, harp, flugelhorn, and trombone into a musical journey that shifts from beautiful to foreboding and back again seamlessly. The harp and organic imagery easily call to mind Joanna Newsom's Milk Eyed Mender. "And it's light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickel bread", "Take the fingers from your flute, weave your colored yarns, and boil down your fruits to preserves in mason jars", "The books are overdue and the goats are underfed" are phases that exemplify some sort of simplistic freak folk poetic mastery.
This is a beautifully instrumented album featuring flugelhorn and trombones from members of Anathallo (Nettwerk), upright bass from Orlando Greenhill of Create! (Sounds Are Active), beautiful harp playing from Nashvile based Timbre, tribal drumming/vocals from psalters, and vocals from Jeremy Enigk. The rich production was done by Brad Wood who has also produced albums for Codeine, Seam, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair, Hum, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Sea and Cake. At home on the vinyl, the drums especially sound warm and monstrous. It's a deluxe format white vinyl with an oversized poster lyrics insert that does justice to the cover painting from Vasily Kafanov.
mewithoutYou has toured extensively over the past two years with bands such as Thursday, The Blood Brothers, Coheed and Cambria, Minus the Bear, Brand New, Sparta, Piebald, Jeremy Enigk, and Burnt Toast Vinyl's own Unwed Sailor.
"The ultimate result of listening to Brother, Sister–other than the nagging temptation to…listen to it all over again–is the realization that mewithoutYou have written an album that will be with our generation for quite some time to come. And, trust us; we don't normally say shit like that." –Jason Schreurs, Wonka Vision

It usually goes like this when you are struggling as a team, once the hitting picks up the pitching disappears, and that's exactly what happened in this one. It was also a terrible day for Cubs prospects not named Kevin Rhoderick, Rhoderick tossed a scoreless inning of relief in this one. Nick Struck wasn't so lucky as he battled command issues all day, he gave up three runs on two hits it just .2 innings while walking three. It didn't get much better at the plate, Javier Baez had another 0-for-4 performance which drops his average to .212 in the AFL this season. Matt Szczur returned to the lineup and finished the day 0-for-5, Rubi Silva was productive in a back up role today going 1-for-2 with a triple and an RBI. The Solar Sox can't buy a win right now, with the loss they drop to 3-7 on the year.
Thanks for reading,

Swain, Havner and T Theo Sherman have been cut. None of these cuts are too surprising. It was odd, in the first game, Havner was out there and I was focusing on him in particular when possible because I was curious to see how he would compare with the 5 other legit TEs on the roster. Knowing he is decent on special teams, I figured he'd be all about trying to prove himself. Instead, I saw a guy who saw the writing on the wall – he didn't seem as intense. Perhaps that's not fair to label him like this as I'm basing this on one+ games, but he just didn't seem to have the intensity that I think got him here.
The Swain cut makes sense. He wasn't a bad player and I know Rodgers will be sad to see his friend go. But the fact is, he doesn't have nearly the upside the other WRs on the roster have.
Don't know the first thing about Theo Sherman – so he probably needed to be cut.

Jason Edwin Simpson (born January 25, 1971) is the current head coach of the UT Martin Skyhawks football team. He became the head coach in 2006.
The longest tenured head football coach in the Ohio Valley Conference and who has transformed the University of Tennessee at Martin program into one of the winningest teams in the OVC since his first season in 2006.In 13 years, Simpson has led UT Martin to an 80-68 record (.540 winning percentage) and a 63-42 mark against OVC opponents (.600 winning percentage). That comes after the program had won 20 OVC games in its first 14 seasons in the league. He also has presided over 83 All-OVC players after the program tallied 33 such players in its first 14 seasons in the OVC.
Simpson's 80 career victories rank seventh in OVC history while his 63 conference wins come in at sixth place.
Three of the program's seven 8-win seasons have come under Simpson, including all three at the Football Championship Subdivision level. He was responsible for the program's first-ever OVC championship team in 2006, as that team ended the season with a national No. 13 ranking after finishing 9-3.
Simpson is a three-time finalist for the Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award in 2006, 2012 and 2016 while finishing fourth overall in 2006. He won the OVC's Roy Kidd Coach of the Year award and the American Football Coaches Association Region 3 Coach of the Year accolade in 2006, his debut season at UT Martin.
A total of 14 Skyhawks have been named an All-American under Simpson. Those include Alex Atkins (2006), Don Chapman (2006), Jessie Burton (2006), Josh Yarbrough (2007), Dontrell Miller (2008), Ray Williams (2008), Joe Gibbs (2009), Josh Bey (2009), CJ Estelle (2011), Montori Hughes (2012), Quentin Sims (2012), Jeremy Butler (2013), Ben Johnson (2013) and Tony Bell (2013, 2014).
In April 2012, Hughes became the 12th UT Martin player and first since 1996 to be selected in the NFL Draft. Hughes was picked by the Indianapolis Colts in the fifth round (139th overall). Since 2011, Gibbs (St. Louis Rams, Green Bay Packers), Sims (Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots), Derek Carr (New York Giants), Johnson (Kansas City Chiefs), Butler (Baltimore Ravens), DJ Roberts (Baltimore Ravens), Abou Toure (Indianapolis Colts), Charles Sweeton (Kansas City Chiefs), Bell (Tennessee Titans) and Corey Jordan (Jacksonville Jaguars) have all received opportunities with NFL teams.
Simpson also coached Chapman for two seasons, who became just the 14th Division-I player to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons. He was named the program's first-ever OVC Offensive Player of the Year in 2006.
The Skyhawks have won or shared the Sgt. Alvin C. York Trophy - which was established in 2007 and is given annually to the best of the four OVC teams located in Tennessee – six times. The Skyhawks won the trophy in 2010 and shared it in 2012 and 2018 while claiming the trophy outright in 2014, 2015 and 2016. UT Martin owns a 25-11 all-time record in the Sgt. York Trophy series, which is the best mark out of the four OVC schools.
The 2018 campaign saw the Skyhawks post their first sub-500 conference season under Simpson going 2-9 overall and 2-6 in conference play. Plagued by injuries throughout the season, UT Martin still led the OVC in kickoff coverage, completion percentage, field goal percentage and tackles for loss per game. Meanwhile, the trio of James Gilleylen (All-OVC second team), Julian Crutchfield (All-OVC second team) and Terry Williams (All-Newcomer) earned postseason honors while the squad tied in the Sgt. York Trophy race.
In 2017, UT Martin would return to the national polls for the first time since 2013, spending three weeks ranked in both the STATS FCS Top 25 and FCS Coaches Poll. The Skyhawks would rank as high as 18th after defeating No. 15 Chattanooga and No. 20 Tennessee State in consecutive weeks. UT Martin would ultimately finish the season with a 6-5 overall record while going 4-4 in OVC play – cementing the program's 13th straight season of finishing at least .500 in league play.
Paving the way for UT Martin was the play of the team's record-setting defense. The Skyhawks finished the regular season ranked nationally in the top-10 in red zone defense (third, 60.6 percent), scoring defense (fourth, 14.3), third down conversion defense (fifth, 28.7 percent), total defense (sixth, 273.8 ypg), punt return defense (seventh, 3.59), first downs defense (eighth, 168 ypg), team passing efficiency defense (eighth, 104.3), fourth down conversion defense (eighth, 28.6 percent), kickoff returns (eighth, 24.33 ypr) and passing yards allowed (ninth, 159.9 ypg).
Six players were honored for their impressive play as All-OVC performers. Senior safety Kahlid Hagens earned his second All-OVC first team honor while the group of Ladarius Galloway, Jay Murphy, James Gilleylen, Tae Martin and Peyton Logan earned All-OVC second team honors. Galloway and Logan also were rewarded for their breakout seasons with All-Newcomer honors.
UT Martin produced yet another top finish in the league in 2016 after posting a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in OVC play to finish second in the league standings – despite playing three FBS opponents. It marked the fourth time in program history that the Skyhawks finished in top two in the league standings, sitting only behind No. 3 ranked Jacksonville State – en route to being named a finalist for the Eddie Robison Coach of the Year Award. As a squad, the Skyhawks ranked first or second in 18 different statistical categories in league play including scoring offense (32.3 ppg, 2nd), scoring defense (24.0 ppg, 2nd), total defense (322.4 ypg, 2nd), rushing defense (128.3 ypg, 2nd) and pass defense (194.1 ypg, 2nd).
Seven players were recognized as All-OVC performers led by first team selections for Kahlid Hagens and Robert Burleigh. Ben Axline, Kenneth Crenshaw, Keith Jones, Damani Taylor and Tae Martin all earned second team honors while Londell Lee earned an All-Newcomer nod. Hagens led a talented defense with 93 tackles while pacing the squad with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries. He also tallied five pass breakups, two quarterback hurries and a pair of forced fumbles. Burleigh anchored an offensive line which ranked as one of the nation's best, ranking 24th nationally and first in the OVC in sacks allowed per game (1.25). He started in all 12 games at right tackle while grading out at 84 percent or better. Along with the team's individual accolades, the squad retained the Sgt. York Trophy after holding the tie-breaker in a three-way series tie.
On top of defending the Sgt. York Trophy once again, the Skyhawks continued their climb atop the OVC rankings once again in 2015, finishing third with a conference mark of 6-2 while finishing the season at 7-4 overall despite facing a pair of FBS opponents in Ole Miss and Arkansas. Faced with one of the toughest schedules in the country, Simpson led his team to be one of the top offensive threats around while receiving votes in both polls for nine consecutive weeks to close out the regular season. The Skyhawks ranked first in the OVC and 16th in the country in third down conversion percentage while ranking in the top-15 nationally in passing offense (11th, 293.5 ypg), red zone offense (13th, 86.8%), scoring offense (13th, 35.5 ppg) and total offense (14th, 456.6 ypg).
Six players off the 2015 squad were recognized as All-OVC performers by the league's head coaches and sports information directors, including Jarod Neal, Rod Wright, Jackson Roberts, Damani Taylor, Marquis Clemons and Jackson Redditt. Neal headlined a list with one of the best individual seasons in UT Martin history after completing 246 passes for 3,117 yards and 30 touchdowns. Neal notched five 300-yard passing games while notching six games with at least three passing touchdowns – including a personal-best six touchdown performance against Bethel. Wright, a senior wide receiver, finished just short of becoming the programs fourth 1,000-yard receiver while leading the OVC and ranking third nationally with 14 touchdown receptions.
The 2014 season saw the Skyhawks clicked midway through the season and ended the campaign as one of the hottest teams in the nation. UT Martin won five of its last six outings - with the only setback coming against FBS No. 1 ranked Mississippi State - to conclude the season with a 6-6 overall mark and 5-3 record in the OVC. Included in the aforementioned hot streak was a five-game winning streak in OVC play, which occurred only for the second time in program history (also happened in 2006 under Simpson).
Simpson oversaw three program greats in Bell, Toure and Sweeton in 2014. Bell captured his second straight All-American honor while finishing 16th in the final voting for The Sports Network Buck Buchanan Award, annually presented to the best defensive player in the FCS ranks. He rounded out his career with a school-record 22.5 career sacks while ranking in the top-10 nationally in fumble recoveries (3, sixth) and tackles for loss (21, 10th). Meanwhile, Toure became just the sixth player in program history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season as his 1,138 rushing yards ranked as the third-best single-season performance in school history. Toure's 234 rushing yards at Murray State on Nov. 1 were the most in the OVC in 2014 and the third-best rushing effort in program history. Sweeton was tabbed as a Preseason All-American selection and started every game in 2014, extending his consecutive starts streak to 46 (every game of his collegiate career). He conceded only one sack in his final two seasons at left tackle, earning All-OVC accolades in both 2013 and 2014.
In 2013, UT Martin once again established itself as one of the best programs in the OVC, finishing with a 7-5 overall record and 5-3 mark against league foes. That marked the fifth winning season under Simpson and third in a span of four years. Simpson became the first UT Martin football coach to post back-to-back winning seasons since George MacIntyre in 1976-77.
The Skyhawks spent three weeks in the Sports Network Football Championship Subdivision polls in 2013, with their only losses coming to Football Bowl Subdivision opponents Boise State and Memphis and FCS playoff participants Eastern Illinois, Tennessee State and Jacksonville State. UT Martin defeated ranked FCS opponents Chattanooga (31-21) and Central Arkansas (24-23) in the first three weeks of the season and was ranked No. 22 in the nation by the Sports Network on Sept. 30. Simpson oversaw eight All-OVC players in 2013, including all-time program greats Johnson, Butler and DJ McNeil. Johnson led the OVC in tackles for the second straight season while Butler concluded his two-year career ranking in UT Martin's top-five lists in 100-yard receiving games (eight, first), touchdown receptions (20, second), receptions (141, third) and receiving yards (1,953, fifth). McNeil rounded out his career ranking third in UT Martin history in rushing touchdowns (21) and fifth in rushing yards (2,160).
Simpson also coached Bell in 2013, who earned National Defensive Player of the Week honors twice. Bell led the OVC with 10.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in 2013.
In 2012, the Skyhawks finished the season with the best overall winning percentage in the OVC (.727, 8-3 record). That winning percentage was the second-highest in program history in the program's FCS era. UT Martin also tied a program record with six OVC victories against only two losses, including a 51-37 win over regular season champion Eastern Illinois for the Panthers' only OVC loss. The Skyhawks also recorded one of the biggest wins in program history, a 20-17 win over in-state FBS opponent Memphis (one of only 10 victories by FCS teams over FBS teams in 2012).
Simpson coached the end of the career of Carr, who will go down as one of the best quarterbacks in OVC history. A three-year starter (2010–12), Carr wrapped up his Skyhawk career as the school's all-time record holder with 69 touchdown passes (third in OVC history), 8,484 yards of total offense (fourth in OVC), 665 completions (fourth in OVC), 8,428 passing yards (fourth in OVC) and 1,110 pass attempts (fifth in OVC). Carr was the only FCS or FBS player to complete seven touchdown passes on two separate occasions (at Murray State on Oct. 13 and against Jacksonville State on Nov. 3). In the game at Murray State, he set the NCAA single-game mark with a 243.78 passing efficiency ranking after completing 42-of-46 passes for 560 yards (the most yards thrown by an OVC player all season) against zero interceptions.
UT Martin went 5-6 with a 4-4 OVC mark in 2011. The Skyhawks led the OVC in tackles for loss (7.73 per game) and least sacks allowed (0.45 per game) while also boasting Estelle in 2011, who led the nation in punt return yardage (17.69 yards per return).
As a team UT Martin won the Sgt. Alvin York Trophy in 2010 when it went 6-5 overall and 5-3 in the OVC. The Sgt. York Trophy was not the only piece of the puzzle for the Skyhawks in 2010. Simpson led his charges to a 10-7 Homecoming victory and the first ever win over perennial power Eastern Kentucky in school history. The Skyhawks led the OVC in pass efficiency defense (104.89), pass defense (154 yards per game) and total defense (299.27 ypg) in 2010.
The Skyhawks received votes in the FCS polls seven out of 14 weeks during the 2009 season. UT Martin marched to a 5-6 overall record and sported a 4-4 OVC worksheet. The team opened its campaign with a 56-0 lambasting over Iowa Wesleyan and won three of its last four games of the season in convincing fashion.
In 2009, UT Martin led the OVC in passing offense (243 yards per game) thanks to Cade Thompson, Simpson's starting quarterback from 2008-09. Gibbs also wrapped up his spectacular career by being named to three All-American teams and claiming UT Martin's Bob Carroll Male Athlete of the Year Award.
Simpson led the 2008 Skyhawks to an 8-4 overall campaign and a 6-2 OVC record. The team received votes in both the FCS Coaches Poll and the Sports Network Poll, and was ranked 25th in the nation in the final Sports Media Entertainment (SME) Network poll. The 2008 squad led the OVC in passing offense (235.08), scoring offense (37.33), sacks (2.50), tackles for loss (8.00) and sacks allowed (1.17).
In 2007, the Skyhawks closed out the season by winning four of their last five games. The Skyhawk offense exploded in the second half of the season with a 76-34 victory over Murray State and a 55-20 thumping over Southeast Missouri State. While the second half of the season was loaded with excitement, the Skyhawks lost their first three OVC games by a combined nine points. The team finished the season with a 4-7 overall record and a 4-4 mark in the OVC. UT Martin led the OVC in total offense (430.55), scoring offense (33.36) and passing efficiency (135.61).
In 2006, the Skyhawks posted a 9-3 overall record and a 6-1 mark in the OVC standings. The overall worksheet was the best for the Skyhawks since 1988 when they advance to postseason play as a Division II team. The six OVC victories were the most for the Skyhawks since joining the league in 1992. Of the nine victories, five were road wins and it marked the first time the Skyhawks won an OVC road game since 1996.
Along with wins, Simpson led the Skyhawks to national rankings for the first time since 1989. UT Martin finished the season ranked No. 13 in the final FCS poll, the highest an OVC team had been ranked to end a season since 2001.
The 2006 Skyhawks led the OVC in rushing offense (218.25), rushing defense (112.92), pass efficiency defense (91.51), total defense (255.50), scoring defense (15.67), punt returns (11.58) and pass defense (142.58). They also ranked in the top-25 nationally in pass efficiency defense (91.51, second), total defense (255.50, sixth), pass defense (142.58, seventh), rushing offense (218.25, 12th), scoring defense (15.67, 13th), rushing defense (112.92, 15th), sacks allowed (1.17, 18th), punt returns (11.58, 19th) and kickoff returns (21.84, 20th).
Prior to accepting his first head coaching job at UT Martin, Simpson was the offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He was instrumental in the resurgence of the UTC football program. In 2005, Chattanooga posted a 6-5 campaign, the school's first winning season since 1997.
Before Chattanooga, Simpson coached at Texas State University, a member of the Southland Football League. He coached quarterbacks, receivers and served as the team's recruiting coordinator. In 2000, Texas State posted a 7-4 record, the school's first winning season in 10 years.
Simpson served as an assistant coach from 1997-1999 at Jacksonville State University. He coached quarterbacks and was the team's passing game coordinator. He also coached receivers and served as an assistant special teams coordinator. He was a member of the Jacksonville State staff responsible for the third best turnaround in Division I football for the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
An Ellisville, Miss. native, Simpson signed as a quarterback with Mississippi State and played for two seasons for the Bulldogs. He also played baseball for Ron Polk at Mississippi State before transferring to Southern Miss in 1992. At Southern Miss, Simpson was a two-time all-conference selection in baseball and was team captain his senior season.
After earning a bachelor's degree in 1994 from Southern Miss, he spent the next year as a graduate assistant football coach at Delta State, where he coached defensive backs. In the spring of 1995, Simpson served as an assistant football and head baseball coach at Collins High School in Mississippi.

The East Georgia State College Bobcats head into Christmas break with a 10-0 record, the first in the school's history, and stand at 4-0 in the conference after their 92-57 win over fellow conference member Georgia Highlands.
The Bobcats struggled slightly to get any real momentum in the first half, but still went into the locker room with a 40-28 lead. The second half was a different story, as the team got into a groove offensively and quickly pulled away en route to the big win.
Jordan Johnson led the Bobcats in scoring yet again, going for 18 points with two rebounds, four assists, and a block. He continues to be the leading scorer in the conference as he continues to show strong prowess from behind the arc.
D.J. Felder put up one of his best efforts of the year, scoring 16 points with seven rebounds and an assist.
Trey Hagood continues to fill the stat line in just about every game, scoring five points with nine rebounds, eight assists, and two steals. He continues to lead the conference in steals.
Larry Bullock put up another solid game with five points, one rebound, seven assists, and one steal.
The bench came up big for the Bobcats in this game as it the lead grew with Brian Byrd and Tommy Williams were perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of this. Byrd went for 10 points with one rebound, one assist, and two steals. Williams went for 10 points with nine rebounds and one assist.
The Bobcats next game will be in the Holiday Classic Tournament in Tallahassee, FL on December 28th and 29th. The next non-tournament game will be against Florida State College on January 2nd.

I follow the Legacy Project for the most part, but I haven't seen anything that applies to my situation. My husband and I retired from farming about 10 years ago. In retirement, we cash-rented our farm to a neighbor. About three years ago, my husband died, and since then, I've maintained the same relationship. So today, I'm a non-farming landlord.
My kids don't want to farm, but they don't want to sell the farm either. They were all raised here, and they'd like to keep it in the family, if possible. They get along for the most part. Do I need a succession plan, or will an estate plan be enough? Should they sell the place when I pass?
You're right; I have not addressed succession planning as it relates to a non-farming landlord. Thanks for asking. As we launch into this topic, let's not forget that every situation is a unique combination of family, wants, needs and resources. As you well know, even though there isn't a farmer in the next generation, members of your family might still have a deep emotional attachment to the farm and a desire to keep it in the family.
You're not alone. A recent study by Iowa State University Extension found that more than 55% of the farmland in Iowa is owned by people over 65 years of age, many of whom are landlords to a tenant farmer.
As a landlord, you're an important part of our farming economy. A USDA report indicates that 70% of farmland will change hands in the next 20 years. The report goes on to say, "If a farm family has not adequately planned for succession, [the farm] is likely to go out of business, be absorbed into ever-larger farming neighbors or be converted to non-farm use."
A plan for you. To answer your first question—yes, you need a succession plan. I suggest you start with a family meeting. Discussing your concerns and allowing your family to share theirs will answer most of your questions. In this meeting, look for common objectives. To you, the farm might represent financial security. For your children, it might be an emotional connection to childhood and growing up on the farm. For all of you, the farm might represent home, security and community.
Your family might appreciate the financial security of owning farmland. They might want to participate in farm activities or future business endeavors. Let your family talk and listen to them carefully. Questions you might want to ask:
- You've expressed interest in maintaining the family farm. Why?
- Like any other responsibility, owning a farm is a serious commitment. Are you willing to devote the time to maintain the farm, develop the tenant-landlord relationship and manage assets?
- How should decisions be made regarding financial matters, management, cash flow, investment and tenants?
- How will future conflicts be resolved?
- What might cause you to sell the farm, and how should that final decision be reached?
Sound decisions. Most family matters involve emotion. Don't assume that because you don't have a family member actively farming, there will be fewer emotions involved. Use basic business tools to help the family make good business decisions.
Using a formal business structure such as an LLC will allow multiple owners without separating parcels.
An operating agreement defines decision making, management structure, profit-loss distributions and more. A buy-sell agreement can detail the triggering events, terms and conditions for a buyout. And, most importantly, a communication plan will detail the how, when and who of family communication regarding the farm property.

Thinking about gardens and summer and checking out new sights and sounds? Why not head north this summer and check out St. James Farm? For years the locals only saw the gate of the lovely farm where the McCormicks, descendants of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the commercial reaper, lived and worked. In 1851, Cyrus McCormick co-founded the McCormick Reaper Works, which would merge with the Deering Harvester Company in 1906 to become the International Harvester Corporation.
Today St. James Farm (http://www.dupageforest.com/Conservation/ForestPreserves/St_James_Farm.html) is part of the DuPage County Forest Preserve. While the McCormicks' house is gone, several structures from late-1800s farmsteads remain, including a gabled-roof-and-wing farmhouse, which is one of the last of its kind in DuPage County. There is also the massive wood-planked German-style barn with cantilevered floors that date back to 1890.
The farm also is a wildlife and natural ecosystem set on 607 acres in Warrenville, Ill., in Dupage County. The preserve contains more than 100 acres of woodlands, prairies and wetlands and is home to more than 300 native plant species and wildlife with a wide array of bird life, like great blue herons, red-bellied woodpeckers and white-breasted nuthatches.
There is no better time to see the farm than May 28, when St. James Homecoming Celebration kicks off the park's summer season. Open 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Homecoming Celebration features horse and riding demonstrations, a dairy exhibit, hay-wagon rides, interpretive tours, children's activities, recreation stations and, of course, food. A favorite is also a ride on Brooks McCormick's beautiful Quail Wagon.
This year Wayne Zaininger, manager of St. James Farms, thought it fitting that this farm, whose history is intertwined so deeply with International Harvester, offer a display of Farmall tractors as part of this event.
The first McCormicks to inhabit the farm were Chauncey and Marion McCormick. The couple loved horses, and to further enjoy their hobby they built a Colonial-style brick stable with stalls lined with wood and iron posts from England. Besides the horses, Zaininger added, "To support their growing, award-winning herd of Guernsey cows, they constructed a state-of-the-art dairy barn with roomy stalls and assorted outbuildings. For the better part of two decades, the buildings housed a dairy operation that was a benchmark for farmers throughout the Midwest."
The property passed to the McCormicks' son, Brooks, in the 1950s. Also active in the horse set, the couple built the estate's indoor arena, which was used for riding events as well as establishing the St. James Riding School for the Handicapped, one of the McCormicks' charitable interests. Zaininger explained: "Not until his retirement from International Harvester in 1980, though, did Brooks begin to aggressively develop the estate's renowned equestrian facility, which would include a 62-stall stable for competitors' horses, a 1.5-mile steeplechase track, a 200-seat concession area and dressage and jumping arenas. St. James Farm hosted several international and dressage competitions during this time, as well as an annual steeplechase race, which drew up to 10,000 spectators and raised funds for the Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital."
The site is a wonderful mix of farm, prairie and art. The art on site includes pieces commissioned by the McCormick family. There is a lovely fountain of three life-sized leaping dolphins created by Italian sculptor Fioré de Henriquez. Another Henriquez piece is a bronze relief of his granddaughter, Fiona, and her horse, Something Special. This sculpture is a two-dimensional form.
The love of horses is also included in the art on the property. There is a life-sized water-trough fountain created by Marcia Weese in 1985. Zaininger: "This granite, marble and copper fountain resembles a water trough. Water flows from copper pipes to an elevated trough and falls into marble pools. Although the fountain was created for aesthetic reasons, equestrian competitors often used it to water their horses."
Hope McCormick provided a horse sculpture completed by Carole Harrison out of brazed and then appliquéd sheets of copper as a gift for her husband, Brooks, in 1963. In this same area, a much older mural, an art deco oil painting above the stable's west entry dates back to Chauncey and Marion McCormick's time at the estate in the 1930s. Zaininger said that they don't know to whom to credit the mural, but visitors enjoy the beauty of the artwork.
One of the most touching pieces of art is the "I Saw a Child" relief created by artist Ann Frey. The bronze relief was built in the 1960s after reading the poem "I Saw a Child" by John Davies. Zaininger told the story: "Brooks McCormick hired Davies, a renowned expert on therapeutic riding, in 1974 to direct equestrian operations at the farm and shortly thereafter began the St. James Riding School for the Handicapped. The piece commemorates the school, which married McCormick's passion for horses to a greater philanthropic cause."
This is but a small list of the amazing things to see and do at St. James Farm. Note that this property is also close by Cantigny, a 500-acre park that once was the estate of Robert McCormick. Cantigny (http://www.cantigny.org.) offers nature trails, golf, and two museums, the McCormicks' home as well as a World War I museum. Stop at both places and make a day of it.

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
7/8 cups almond flour
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar
3 drops food coloring
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Stir together the confectioners' sugar and almond flour and sift it through a tammie or very open mesh strainer. In a mixer with a whip attachment, whip the whites until frothy. Add the sugar (and food coloring if using) and whip until stiff. Add 1/3 of the almond mixture and fold part way in. Add another 1/3 and fold partway in. Add final 1/3 and fold in leaving a few specks of egg whites. It will look like deflated marshmallow. Place a pastry bag with a close pin holding it shut in a tall round container folding the edge over the rim of the container to fill it easily. Pipe dots of meringue at each corner to stick down some parchment paper on a sheet pan. Pipe rows of kisses 1-inch each (size of a quarter) one half inch apart. Bake about 17 minutes until very light brown. Pour 1/4 cup water under the parchment paper at both ends of the sheet to steam them loose. Let cool and peel off.
Easy Buttercream: In a mixer with a whip attachment whip the butter very well, scraping the bowl often until it's light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low. Drizzle in the flavorings with the hot water. Chill up to a week until ready to use, then bring to room temperature.
Easy Buttercream:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the past week and a half I have been trying to figure out how to install Xubuntu 13.10 alongside the Windows 7 install I have on my laptop (ASUS X501A with UEFI) and I'm pretty much at my wit's end.
Could someone point me to set of thorough instructions on installing Xubuntu (or any of the Ubuntu derivatives) on a HDD under UEFI alongside Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium? Preferably one that also covers GRUB/bootloader problems that come afterwards.
A few additional details:
- Motherboard does have UEFI.
- I've disabled Secure Boot and Fast Boot. Launch CSM is enabled and the platform keys are not installed (these settings allow me to at least boot Windows 7).
- I set the HDD's partition table to GPT through GParted before I installed Windows.
- I'm installing from a bootable USB that has been created through a tool called Rufus with the
GPT partition scheme for UEFI computersoption, otherwise I've left it at default.
- I am able to boot into Xubuntu in UEFI mode, but I'd much rather be able to see the option: Install Xubuntu Alongside Windows 7 (or however it's phrased), Xubuntu seems to be unable to recognize that Windows 7 is installed.
I do have access to a bootable USB stick containing GParted though Xubuntu seems to come preinstalled with it.
If there's anything else that might be of help, please let me know.

You can visit part one and part two of our kitchen restyles as well, to get caught up.
But THIS time, instead of talking cabinets and counter tops, we're going to be chatting all about our little kitchen nook (aka: the dining room). I'm sure some of you have caught on, if you've been following us for a while, that we have been without a kitchen table for ohhhhh... about 7 months.
Also, just a quick heads up that The Black Goose, along with our other favorite Gardner Village shops are hosting an awesome Friends and Family sale this weekend starting on Thursday! They don't do the Friends and Family sale very often, so when they do I'm ALL over it, because they always have special items and great discounts.
Till next time!...

We understand you may be concerned about Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will continue to closely monitor the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as our study abroad program partners, and will update our advice as needed.
In 1972 the first group of adventurous Ithaca College students journeyed to England. Today the Ithaca College London Center - among the longest-standing study abroad programs in London - welcomes students from colleges and universities throughout the United States and around the world. The London Center staff and faculty have years of experience helping students negotiate the ins and outs of life in Great Britain.
Ithaca's base in London is an elegant restored Victorian house in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The London Center houses classrooms, a small library, and a comfortable common lounge, as well as 2 computer labs with internet access and wireless internet access for laptop users. Our site is an ideal jumping-off point for exploring London, just a 3 minute walk to the nearest tube station. The Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and the famous department store Harrods are all within walking distance.
Whether your interest lies in medieval music or the European Union, Hamlet or BBC News 24, Oscar Wilde or Zadie Smith, London offers a wealth of opportunities. Classroom learning comes alive as you experience British life and culture firsthand. You will explore abbeys and cathedrals, visit the neighborhoods where John Keats and Virginia Woolf once lived, sample British economics while doing an internship at the London office of a mulitnational corporation. Or you may read Charles Dickens and prowl the back alleys where the "artful dodger" and Oliver Twist once roamed.
As a student at the London Center, you can combine an American course of undergraduate study with an array of exciting international experiences. Course offerings range from business and communications to the fine arts, humanities and social sciences. Internship placements are available to students seeking international work experience and a more comprehensive immersion into British culture. No matter what your personal and academic interests, the Ithaca College London Center delivers stimulating and rewarding opportunities.
London Center Mission and Vision
The London Center Vision and Mission derive from the Vision and Mission of Ithaca College and specifically address the goals of the IC20/20 Strategic Plan that pertain to experiential learning. The London Center is an active student-centered environment that fosters the development of the intellect, creativity, and character in an international context.
With respect to the Institutional Mission, the London Center provides an educational experience that expands student independence, self-confidence, and awareness of themselves as engaged citizens in a diverse global community. A semester at the London Center enables students to connect theory and practice by offering experiences that extend beyond the classroom, including professional and cultural internships as well as co-/extra- curricular activities that use London as the classroom. The London Center also raises the visibility and prestige of Ithaca College in London and beyond, and acts as the focal point for recruitment of students from the United Kingdom to the Ithaca campus

Jungle Confetti Leather Dog Leash
You and your pup will be the life of the party with this multi-colour hand painted leather leash. Made of lightweight yet durable vegetable-tanned leather, finished with gold hardware and our iconic Nice Digs dog charm.
Length: 125cm (4' 1/4) 2cm width
Complete the look with a matching Jungle Confetti collar.
Proudly designed and handcrafted in Australia.
Leather will patina with time and exposure to the elements. Normal wear will darken the leather as air, light, the oils of your dog's skin, and other environmental factors do their work, eventually developing into a rich tan colour. Prolong the life of the leather and hardware by keeping it away from water & chemicals. Nice Digs leather collars and leashes are not for swimming or water immersion.
Clean your leather collars and leashes with a soft, damp cloth. Nourish the leather from time to time, with a wax/silicone-free leather conditioner but patch test first before overall application as it may darken the leather.

HGTV star Jamie Durie brings his "Outdoor Room" tips to Colorado

Australian-born HGTV star Jamie Durie is here to help — and we do mean here, as in, visiting the Denver metro area.
Durie will speak and sign his new book, "Jamie Durie's The Outdoor Room" (Harper Collins, 2012) at Tagawa Gardens in Centennial from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4. He'll begin a talk on "The Human Garden" at 1 p.m.

December 5, 2011NJT-11-086
NEWARK, NJ — NJ TRANSIT will host a second public open house to discuss potential transit improvements along the congested highway corridor that connects suburban Gloucester and Camden counties with the City of Camden and Philadelphia. The first open house was conducted in April 2011.
The open house is scheduled for Monday, December 12, 2011 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Camden Technology Center (Executive Conference Room 201) at Camden County College, located at 200 North Broadway in Camden.
NJ TRANSIT has initiated the Route 55/42/676 Transit Alternatives Analysis to identify and evaluate a range of bus service improvements along the highway corridor to and from Camden and Philadelphia. The study is looking at innovative service options, including Bus Rapid Transit, designed to speed travel along this heavily congested corridor.
Members of the public are invited to attend the open house to learn about the study and to give NJ TRANSIT their input on suggested transit improvements.
For more information, visit the study website at southjerseytransit.com.
About NJ TRANSIT

Created on July 24, 2014
The U.S. Department of the Treasury will develop the myRASM ("My Retirement Account") program, offering a new retirement savings account for individuals looking for a simple, safe, and affordable way to start saving. Savers will be able to open an account with as little as $25 and contribute $5 or more every payday. myRA balances will never go down, and there will be no fees. Initially, myRA will be made available through employers and the investment held in the account will be backed by the U.S. Treasury.
WHO WILL myRA BE FOR?
myRA will be Roth IRA accounts available to anyone who has an annual income of less than $129,000 a year for individuals and $191,000 for couples. myRA will be for savers who do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. myRA is designed for savers who want an investment with a low opening amount.
HOW WILL myRA WORK?
The myRA investment will earn interest at the same variable rate as the Government Securities Investment Fund in the Thrift Savings Plan for federal employees. Savers may voluntarily roll over myRA to private-sector retirement accounts at any time. Once a saver's myRA reaches $15,000, or after 30 years, the balance will be transferred to a private-sector retirement account. Treasury will finalize transfer procedures when it launches the myRA program later this year.
HOW WILL I SIGN UP FOR A myRA?
Once the accounts are available, employees of participating employers will start by signing up for a myRA account online. They will set up an initial automatic payroll direct deposit with their employers for a minimum contribution of $25. Employees will then elect to have a portion of their paychecks—$5 or more
—directly deposited into their myRA automatically every payday.
• Deposits are automatic every payday
• Portable – not tied to a single employer
• Contributions can be withdrawn tax free
• Earnings can be withdrawn tax free after five years and the saver is 59½
• Will never go down in value
• Low-risk
• Information will be private and secure
• Backed by the U.S. Treasury
• As little as $25 to open an account
• Contribute $5 or more every payday
• No fees
• Roth IRA tax advantages
WHEN WILL myRA BE AVAILABLE?
Treasury will begin rolling out myRA in late 2014.
myRA will be free and easy for employers to make available to employees. Employers may distribute myRA information but will not administer employee accounts, contribute to them, or match employee contributions. On payday, employers will send a direct deposit to participating employees' myRAs.
For additional information, visit TreasuryDirect website or call (800) 553-2663.
