Biography of John Paul II
Karol Józef Wojtyła, known as John Paul II since his October 1978 election to the papacy, was born in the Polish town of Wadowice, a small city 50 kilometers from Krakow, on May 18, 1920. He was the youngest of three children born to Karol Wojtyła and Emilia Kaczorowska. His mother died in 1929. His eldest brother Edmund, a doctor, died in 1932 and his father, a non-commissioned army officer died in 1941. A sister, Olga, had died before he was born.
He was baptized on June 20, 1920 in the parish church of Wadowice by Fr. Franciszek Zak, made his First Holy Communion at age 9 and was confirmed at 18. Upon graduation from Marcin Wadowita high school in Wadowice, he enrolled in Krakow's Jagiellonian University in 1938 and in a school for drama.
The Nazi occupation forces closed the university in 1939 and young Karol had to work in a quarry (1940-1944) and then in the Solvay chemical factory to earn his living and to avoid being deported to Germany.
In 1942, aware of his call to the priesthood, he began courses in the clandestine seminary of Krakow, run by Cardinal Adam Stefan Sapieha, archbishop of Krakow. At the same time, Karol Wojtyła was one of the pioneers of the "Rhapsodic Theatre," also clandestine.

False. U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work.

Yale And Hartford Meet For Fifth Straight Year

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs (2-5) hope to start the month of December on a winning note when they visit Hartford on Wednesday night. Tipoff at Chase Arena is slated for 7 p.m. Yale had its first true road game on Saturday, dropping a 64-48 decision to Army. The Bulldogs have played only one home game and five neutral site contests, four of which came in the Dick's Sporting Goods NIT Season Tipoff. Yale won two games in the tournament, topping Colgate and Elon. Senior Alex Zampier is off to a strong start for the Bulldogs. He leads the Ivy League in scoring (20.4 ppg.) and has fared even better against in-state competition. Against Sacred Heart in the season opener, he scored 35 points, the most by a Yale player since 1983, and then tallied 29 points against Quinnipiac on Nov. 21. Jordan Gibson has emerged as a solid complement to Zampier. Gibson scored a career-high 25 points against Charlotte, has been in double figures in five of seven games and leads the team in rebounding (6.1 rpg.). Injuries have taken a toll on Yale's frontcourt. Paul Nelson has missed four of the last five games with an ankle injury, while Greg Mangano made his first appearance of the season against Army after sitting out the first six games with a foot injury suffered in the off-season.
Yale and Hartford are playing for the fifth straight season. Last year in New Haven, the Bulldogs shot 60 percent (15 of 25) from the field in the second half to erase a nine-point deficit en route to a 71-63 win. The Hawks lead the all-time series 6-3.
The Hawks' two wins have both come at Chase
Arena, 75-38 over Marist and 70-62 against Fordham. Hartford (2-4)
is coming off a 68-56 loss at Dartmouth on Saturday. Five players
average double figures in scoring, led by Joe Zeglinski (14.3
ppg.). Zeglinski, who was named to the America East preseason
all-conference team, is back after being limited to 10 games last
year due to injury. Hartford was picked to finish in a tie with
UMBC for sixth place in the America East preseason coaches
The Bulldogs were picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League preseason media poll, released on Oct. 28 during a media teleconference. Yale has finished higher than projected in three of the last four years. Two-time defending champion Cornell is the overwhelming favorite. The Big Red received all 16 first-place votes. Princeton is second followed by Penn and Harvard. Columbia (sixth), Brown and Dartmouth round out the poll. The Bulldogs, who finished in a tie for second place with Princeton last year, lose four starters but return Alex Zampier, an honorable mention All-Ivy selection. Zampier led the Ivy League in free throw percentage (.848) and was eighth in scoring (13.2 ppg.) and second in steals (1.6 per game). In addition, Yale welcomes back four other players who averaged at least 10 minutes per game.
2009-10 Ivy League Men's Basketball Preseason Media Poll1. Cornell - 128 points (16 first-place votes) 2. Princeton - 96 3. Penn - 92 4. Harvard - 86 5. Yale - 59 6. Columbia - 55 7. Brown - 41 8. Dartmouth - 19
The state of Connecticut has a rich basketball tradition. A new chapter in that history starts this season with the formation of the Connecticut 6, a partnership between six of Connecticut's Division I schools - Yale, Central Connecticut, Fairfield, Hartford, Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart. The inaugural Connecticut 6 Classic tripleheader was Nov. 13 at the Arena at Harbor Yard. The Classic moves to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville in 2011. In addition to the tripleheader, a preseason All-Connecticut 6 team was selected and there will be a Connecticut 6 Player of the Week chosen each week during the season.
Jamie Snyder-Fair, who helped Washington & Lee make its first appearance in the ODAC championship game in 20 years last year, has joined James Jones' staff. In his one season at W&L, the Generals won 16 games, their most since 1988-89. Prior to Washington & Lee, Snyder-Fair was an assistant coach at Vassar where he helped the Brewers to 18 wins, which tied the school record. He also spent two years as an assistant at Amherst.
James Jones has made quite an impact on the Yale basketball program. In 10 seasons, Jones has guided Yale to success not seen in New Haven in 40 years. In 2001-02, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. The team won 21 games, the second most in the modern era of Yale basketball, and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Jones, the longest tenured coach in the Ivy League, earned his 100th victory at Yale when the Bulldogs beat Columbia on Feb. 9, 2007. He is only the fourth coach in school history with at least 100 wins. His overall record at Yale is 130-149, including a 77-63 (.550) mark in Ivy games. The Bulldogs have won at least 10 Ivy games twice during his tenure and have had a .500 or better record in league play in each of the last nine years. Three assistant coaches who worked under Jones have gone on to become head coaches - Isaiah Cavaco (Oberlin), Mark Sembrowich (Academy of Arts University) and Mark Gilbride (Clarkson).Jones served as an assistant coach to Villanova's Jay Wright for the 2007 USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team.
Six Yale graduates, all coached by James Jones, are currently playing professional basketball. Edwin Draughan '05 (FOS Ouest, France), Dominick Martin '06 (Illescas CLM, Spain), Matt Kyle '08 (Tunisia), Eric Flato '08 (Plymouth Raiders, England) and Ross Morin '09 (SAM Massagno, Switzerland) are playing overseas, while Travis Pinick '09 was was selected in the eighth round of the 2009 NBA D-League Draft by the Los Angeles D-Fenders. Pinick is currently in camp trying to earn one of 10 roster spots on the D-Fenders.
• The 2009-10 schedule features 31 regular season games, including 12 in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater. It will mark the most games Yale has played in a season since 2001-02 when the Bulldogs finished 21-11.
• The Bulldogs made their second appearance in the Preseason NIT. Yale fell to No. 1 ranked UConn in the tournament to open the 2003-04 season. The Bulldogs played four games in this year's tournament.
• The game with Quinnipiac on Nov. 21 capped a busy day on the Yale campus. The 126th edition of the Yale-Harvard football game was played at noon at Yale Bowl. Yale and Quinnipiac had met only once before, an 87-69 Bobcat win in 1999 in the Phoenix Classic at the Hartford Civic Center.
• Senior Alex Zampier has a homecoming when the Bulldogs visit Albany on Jan. 3. Zampier, an East Greenbush, N.Y., native, graduated as the second all-time leading scorer at Columbia High School with 1,381 points. Yale head coach James Jones is a 1996 Albany graduate. He played for and coached with the legendary Dr. Richard Sauers, one of only seven coaches to win more than 700 games.
• The Bulldogs open the 14-game Ivy League schedule at home against Brown on Jan. 15. Three of Yale's first four Ivy games will be at Lee Amphitheater.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's prime minister has denounced Israeli airstrikes on Syria, saying the attacks help strengthen Syrian President Bashar Assad's hand.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday also criticized Iran for "turning a blind eye" to massacres in Syria and accused the international community of ignoring the bloodshed.
Addressing party members in Parliament, Erdogan said the Israeli airstrikes into Syria were "unacceptable" and amounted to "handing over (to Assad) opportunities on a golden tray."
Erdogan said: "Assad, who has not sweated a single drop against Israel for the (occupation of the) Golan Heights is now using the Israeli attack to cover up the Banias massacre."
The Turkish leader was referring to the Syrian coastal town of Banias, where activists say dozens of people, including children, were killed by pro-government gunmen.

For 2011, as one of my helpful commenters pointed out, my predictions weren't very daring. Despite the gloomy rhetoric coming from the library community about library closings, I was pretty sure most libraries wouldn't be closing. I was right.
For 2012, I'm less sure. This might be the year when public libraries are forced to change their mission drastically as the "information" they trade in shifts away from physical formats entirely. So let's try for a few predictions that might be slightly less predictable. Here's a sampling of what we'll see in 2012:
1) The Big Six publishers will move away from printed books to a significant extent and offer almost everything they publish only as an ebook.
2) The Big Six publishers will keep up their hostility to public libraries, and those that currently supply ebooks to libraries will stop altogether, a move they would have made with printed books decades ago if only they could have controlled the distribution model.
3) Libraries will thus have to rely upon their historic print collections and works from small publishers to supply books to their patrons.
4) The CD and DVD will dwindle significantly in popularity.
5) As a result, recording companies and movie studios will begin releasing most of their titles through digital streaming only.
6) Movie companies will finally pull their heads from their collective bottoms and realize that if they sell digital movies without DRM – the way Amazon and iTunes now sell music – people will actually buy them rather than just pirate them from the Internet. The digital movie business booms!
7) To protect this booming but tenuous business, movie companies, along with music companies, will restrict libraries from accessing most digital music and movies.
8) Libraries will thus have to rely upon their steadily deteriorating collections of CDs and DVDs to provide their patrons with A/V "information" now that they can't buy new CDs and DVDs or rent access to streaming audio and video.
9) The long decline of public libraries as providers of books, music, and movies to their patrons will increase in 2012, because patrons abandon libraries since they can't get any new books, movies, or music. The only people left will be the people who can't afford Internet at home, homeless people, and the library staff.
10) Most people won't notice because they'll be too busy renting ebooks from Amazon, streaming music from Spotify et al., and streaming videos from Netflix et al. That and the world will be ending like those Mayans supposedly predicted.
And there you have it, my predictions for libraries in 2012. A brave new year for a brave new world.
Happy New Year!

AICPA Names Recipients of 2012 Outstanding CPA in Government Award
August 20, 2012
Washington, D.C. (August 20, 2012) – The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) is pleased to announce that John H. Fisher, Ph.D., CPA, of Kansas City, Mo. and Roger A. Norman, CPA, J.D., of Little Rock, Ark., are the 2012 recipients of the Outstanding CPA in Government Award. Fisher (posthumous) received the federal government award and Norman the state award.
Gregory J. Anton, CPA, CGMA, AICPA chairman, presented the awards today at the Institute's 29th Annual National Governmental Accounting and Auditing Update Conference in Washington, D.C. The awards recognize CPAs working in federal, state and local government who have contributed significantly to increased efficiency and effectiveness of government organizations and to the growth and enhancement of the CPA profession.
"John's and Roger's work have underscored the importance of having CPAs work in national and state government," said Anton. "Through their vision, dedication and commitment they have raised the bar in our profession. They are the embodiment of what it means to work in governmental accounting."
Fisher was the audit manager and single audit coordinator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). He was a conspicuous embodiment of the ethic of selfless service to the nation. He was an exceptional individual who dedicated his life's work to improving the integrity of Federal programs. It was a task to which he devoted himself with the fervency of a calling, and one upon which he brought to bear a truly remarkable breadth and depth of knowledge, an engaging and inspiring personality and an unwavering devotion to the highest principles of public service. He was recognized nationally as an expert in governmental accounting, particularly in the highly complex, specialized and rapidly evolving field of non-Federal audits. It was his insight, vision and leadership that inspired and enabled the HHS to establish and resource the National External Audit Review Center (NEAR) in Kansas City, Mo. This organization established itself as a significant tool for HHS program monitoring and integrity. The NEAR staff, following the review model that Fisher developed, staffed and refined, continues to be responsible for analyzing the Single Audit reports, prepared by independent external auditors, on entities that expend HHS program funds. The results of these reviews are communicated to agency program management along with recommendations for follow-up and monitoring to enhance program integrity.
Fisher was a member of the AICPA, the Missouri Society of CPAs, the Kansas Society of CPAs and served as a member of the State governmental committees for both the Kansas and Missouri Societies of CPAs. He was actively involved with the Intergovernmental Audit Forum and served on the Single Audit Committee of the Southwest Intergovernmental Audit Forum and on the Technical Issues Committee of the Mid-America Intergovernmental Audit Forum.
Norman is legislative auditor for the state of Arkansas. As the Arkansas legislative auditor, he manages 275 employees to provide nearly 1,000 audits, reports and special projects annually, to provide timely, accurate and relevant information to assist the General Assembly in making policy decisions and to provide proper accountability, stewardship and transparency of public funds and resources to meet the public's needs.
Norman directed the division of legislative audit in meeting federal single-audit deadlines while auditing additional ARRA funds totaling approximately $3 billion dollars. These reports demonstrate Norman's commitment to making accountability a top priority for sound management of the state's resources. Norman has also directed the division to have increased focus on technology and resources, which resulted in a paperless audit management program that is expected to reduce expenses and increase efficiencies. As legal counsel for the division, Norman assisted Arkansas's legislators, the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee and the Division of Legislative Audit in preparing legislation that ensures the proper use of taxpayers' dollars and compliance with state laws regarding the operations of the state government.
Norman is a member of the AICPA, the Arkansas Society of CPAs and the Arkansas Bar Association. He currently serves on the executive committee of the National State Auditors Association.
The AICPA did not make an Outstanding CPA in Government Award to a local level of government employee this year.

This service is currently undergoing maintenance.
Please try again later.
Before we get started, I have two apologies to make: one to every company featured in this blog post (my opinion obviously has little bearing on the success of your marketing efforts), and another for writing a post with a wholly negative premise.
In my defence, it's often a lot easier to run your own emails against a checklist of 'do nots', as it arguably supplies some super-quick fixes.
Anyway, off we go.
Emails I did open...
1. One big image that doesn't display correctly
I am lazy. If I'm just about convinced to open an email, I sometimes can't then be bothered to click 'display images'. And on my phone, I might not always be able to.
So you just need to mix up the images and the text. Here's an example of an email that could do with a bit more text in it, from National Express.
And here's how it looks with images enabled.
Beautiful, but perhaps feels a bit too flyer-esque because it's one big pic.
2. Stock subject, stock images
Are you ready for 2014? Ready how? What solutions do you provide for what problems?
Who is this man that looks like a healthy, corporate incarnation of Samuel Beckett's Molloy? Are balloons a sign of the future?
Again, snarkiness aside, we've used Regus services, and I find some of them valuable, but I don't want to see stock subject lines and stock imagery.
3. Content below the fold
Regus is good after all: here's tons of good content further down the email we've just discussed.
But all the content is below the fold! Get it up top guys, it's the best bit.
4. Lack of information
Pullman Hotels are great, let me say. I've used the company before for meeting rooms and training. But here's a good example of an email lacking information.
I am given no indication of what 'Art Night' is, and the link to register doesn't offer anything further either. Of course, I'm curious and I googled it a few weeks back when I received the mail, but to no avail.
I like art, and might have attended but for the lack of detail.
This is just personal taste. I hate webinars, but I love hearing about in-store tech. This email below would have been of interest, but I rather hastily deleted when I saw the word webinar.
It's your subject matter that's compelling, not the medium. Put the subject first then add the word webinar on the end if you must, or simply add in the body. As I say, personal taste perhaps.
And emails I didn't even open..
6. Gimmicks: icons instead of characters
This is a bit '2000'. No longer impressive.
7. My good friend, admin
Make sure your email is sent with something touchy feely in the 'from' field.
Not 'admin'.
8. Win an iPad!
These competitions were successful at the launch of iPad 1, due to its huge cultural cache at the time. Now, I think we agree that the iPad seems like an arbitrary prize, much like offering hard cash, it doesn't say anything about your business.
Offer something that ties into your product.
9. Subject = sender
Here's another example of an email where the poor work in the 'from' and 'subject' fields stops me from opening the mail.
In this case it's a subject that is simply the name of the sender. It's a shame, because this email was Devono's survey of what makes London great, which I'd conceivably have contributed to, as a lover of this fair city.
10. Unpersuasive subject line
I don't know why, but I get emails from EET Europarts, who provide electronics and such.
The gist of this email is 'we have great micro batteries in stock', as you can see from the opened email. But the subject is truly deathly.
Don't automate this stuff.
Get someone who can write with pith to add their own micro-battery micro-copy.
Thanks for reading. Let me know pet hates in the comments below.
Comments (25)
Fantastic article - my thoughts exactly.
Very informative and well written article. I agree with most of it with a small note on the stock imagery. It depends on the type of stock images (and image bank) you use in my opinion. Of course I (think I) get the point. Don't make it stock obvious but keep it real.
Some excellent observations Ben, and many basic lessons and cardinal sins that we should all remember from time to time.
I particularly agree with the comments regarding National Express. I'm constantly amazed at how companies just don't realize how many people are viewing the mail on a smartphone and won't needlessly load images as it eats up their data allowance.
I'm also surprised as to how many 'corporate' mailings are not formatted correctly for displaying on a smart phone in portrait mode.
Ben, you did nail a few no-no's. :)
There is a lot of things that companies could do to improve upon their email marketing, just go through your inbox and taadaa! Plenty of examples.
You could actually split them up into two camps (or even three):
1. The mistakes
There is a checklist here, you could use. ttp://www.emailmonday.com/emailmarketingchecklist
2. The no-no's:
Just go through these 25 no-no's and spot if you are a "bad sender".
3. And then..
There are the invisible problems, everything looks alright but it actually isn't yet. Silent conversion killers.
I do believe there is a time and place for characters or unicode.
They render very well on iPhone, but should be used with caution and not overused.
My personal hate is also emails from 'admin' or 'info'. But also just as annoying are marketing emails from a person's name (no hint of which company they represent) and a generic title.
If I don't know which company or organisation is emailing me, it's an instant delete.
Thanks - great read! I also read the majority of my personal emails on the go from my mobile (as well as some business ones) and i still just can't believe the number of companies sending emails that do not work on mobile/aren't mobile friendly.
I don't want to scroll across and along just to read something, constantly pinching and expanding and visa versa! Especially if i am traveling at the same time with other things in my hands, like a handbag etc.
Wish that emails would come simple and easy to access on mobile. I'd read more of them!
Ok here's mine. Stop trying to open and close a sale in one email.
The email is the open, the CTA should take me through to the information that is going to persuade me. I am not going to register / buy / sign up of the back of one email. In fact I am only ever going to skim read it so get to the point and don't give me masses of uninformative marketing guff
I would have done the same. May I also add subject lines with funny icons - some companies think they work but they absolutely do the opposite. I've A/B tested this myself. Great article!
I wonder how many people will read this and think, 'Whoops, I've done that.'
Good article ;¬)
Or emails that you never asked for in the first place... That's pretty annoying!
Great article Ben, especially points 1,3,6,7, 9 and 10.
I hear you with point 3 Ben - too much content slows down the reader and turns them off very quickly. Bitesize is better and make sure your CTA's are clear and appealing. This point is especially relevant for email opens on mobile. The mobile usability of an email should be a top priority.
Very insightful. The biggest vices for me are all images without showing text and content below fold.
My favourite email comes from Twitter, who grandly announces that 'x has some tweets for you' and the screen is blank!
Some great insight here though.
There's an interesting contrast to your National Express email in the emails Pizza Express send out, where before displaying images they try to draw it with tables. They seem to have mixed success, it's a bit gimmicky (and chefs end up looking like blocky robots...) but it always makes me curious enough to open their emails:
Nice, and I like the simple mock-up screenshots to emphasize your points.
Good article. I'd add that powerful stock imagery can increase open rates if used in an emotionally engaging way. Problem is that not enough marketers place sufficient importance on the choice of imagery in their communication, deferring to whether they like it or not, and not whether it will grab the customer. Think of images as powerful content, not filler. You wouldn't use cliches as subject lines, so why use tired overused images ?
I quite like the icons, if used well. Not saying the email one was great, but I wouldn't write them off entirely. Completely with you on the images that don't display and the tiny little bit of text you have to click on a mobile phone to make them appear. TOO MUCH TROUBLE even with brands I know I like.
Ben, I always enjoy pointing out other people's mistakes and I am really good at it. If only others would point out mine...definitely have done some nice ones myself. I have bothered to reply to some of the emails that made me wonder what was the sender thinking. I even got a thank you reply once...May I add that bad timing can make a beautiful campaign pointless. I got a message today, beautifully designed (had to enable the pictures...very few designs display on Lotus), tailored to Halloween night. Hmmmmm wasn't that yesterday?
Thanks a lot Ben. There are so many thinks we need to look at with email marketing. I'll take you to the very basics: clear, understandable content. Here is the first sentence of an email I received three days back:
Would you be interested in having your brand presented to this exclusive group of ABC1 Adult audience in serious shopping mode for Christmas by way of an insert into the official show goody bag at The BBC Good Food Show NEC Birmingham 27th of November to the 1st of December?"
If you managed to read it all, you get 10 points; if you remember what it was all about 50 points, if you want to read the rest you get a golden star and a high five!
I like the BBC Good Food Show....their email marketing...not so much ;-)
Excellent article, I wrote similar a few weeks ago:
To be fair, even if 'admin' had come up with a more engaging sender name, the fact that the message preview starts with
'Greetings of the day!' would be enough to disregad it completely!
My personal bugbear is freelancers who contact me about working for / with my agency, but don't even take the time to include the company name (let alone a personal contact name, which in itself is pretty easy to locate) in their email. It just proves that they're C&Ping every time, and frankly, why would I trust them to research and write decent copy if they can't even take the time to address their correspondence properly?

Garden Club of Virginia
The Garden Club of Virginia is responsible for some of the garden restoration that has been undertaken at Monticello. Their first restoration projects began in 1927, when the president of The Garden Club of Virginia became aware of the deterioration of trees at Monticello, some of which had been planted by Thomas Jefferson. Shortly thereafter, the Club organized a three-day garden fair as a fundraiser towards and preserving the trees on the lawn. In May of 1938, a request was made to the Garden Club by Stuart Gibboney to restore the gardens at Monticello according to Jefferson's original designs and plant lists. In 1939, additional fundraising money was used for this purpose. These early restoration efforts included the Winding flower border on the West Lawn, the fish pond, the flower beds at the corners of the house, the gravel walk on the East Front, and the Ellipse.[1] In 1991, The Garden Club of Virginia also provided funding for the analysis of archival photographs of trees within the first roundabout at Monticello.[2]

Real Estate Matters: Look around, ask questions to find a good listing agent
Q. How do we find a good real estate agent to help us sell our house? The last agent we used asked us to move out and rent an apartment before the buyer inspected our house or closed on the purchase. We refused. Then she asked us to sign a paper that we would fix everything the buyers requested. She also asked us to install a new roof by making a claim with the insurance company and suggested that the roofers would not charge the deductible.
No one tried to negotiate any of these matters on our behalf, and the buyers backed out. This is the second similar experience we've had with real estate agents.

Q. Something doesn't smell right. Your real estate agent should be your advocate and work to help you through the real estate transaction. Yours are behaving in a counterintuitive manner, which leads us to believe something else is going on.
While we take your letter at face value, we're wondering what your home looks like inside and out. Did you fail to repair serious roof damage and now your house is covered in mold? Are you and your spouse hoarders, and is your home filled with junk?
If two real estate agents have been trying to get you to move out of the house, they may be sending you a signal that your home isn't salable in its current condition.
We wonder if you've taken a step back to assess how your home looks with all your belongings in it and the damage to your roof. Would your house look better without your personal items (and that's why the real estate agent feels that moving out would allow the property to show better)?
Every seller should try to take an objective look at his property. This isn't easy, but imagine what you could do to your house to make it look better. In some cases, sellers should get rid of as much stuff as possible. We call that decluttering. You might even want to pack and put away photographs and other personal items. You should make your home as open and light as possible, and that might include removing some furniture and some curtains to make the rooms seem bigger.
If you can't imagine what this might look like, turn on HGTV any night of the week and spend a few hours watching how homes are transformed into properties that are sell-ready.
In essence, you need to figure out if the issue is with you and your house, or with your choice of real estate agents.
If the problem you're having is in finding a good real estate agent, ask friends, neighbors, accountants and attorneys you know for a referral. Look around your neighborhood and see what real estate companies have the greatest number of listings there. Once you have the names of a couple of companies, you can figure out which real estate agents actively work in your area.
Once you have those names, interview the agents and see if they are a good fit with you. If the agent is pushy and won't listen to you, your relationship may be rocky. If the agent says only things that please you, you may have found an agent unwilling to be honest.
A good real estate agent will not only give you information about properties in your area — your competition — but will also tell you what's wrong with your house to make your home sell quicker.
We've written quite a bit about finding the right broker. A good place to start is with other sellers who have been satisfied with the services provided by a listing agent. Don't just ask for a name. Ask what they liked about the agent, how the agent treated them, the services the agent provided, the response time to requests, feedback from showings of their homes, whether the agent did the work or had associates doing most of the chores, and whether the agent was an advocate during the negotiations and through the closing process.

Craftsbury Academy's New Gym is a Total Community Effort
The construction of the new gymnasium at Craftsbury Academy has been a team effort between the school and members of the community.Thirty-eight landowners donated approximately 180 trees, including 8,860 feet of Sugar Maple for the main floor and 2,860 of Yellow Birch for the out of bounds area, towards the construction of the new gym.Tom Lathrop of Vermont Specialty Wood Products from Bristol, VT, manufactured the wood for the school at a huge savings (aprox. $35,000.00). Don Blake from Morrisville donated all the nails, and Menard's Agway donated flooring nailers. "We laid the floor with over 60 volunteers (ages 31 to 87) in 3 and half days, a little over 6,400 sq. ft. at 2 inches at a time with 60,000 nails," said Harry Miller, one of the lead men on the project.Students took approximately 495 photographs, roughly 5 minutes apart, over 3 1/2 days and are working to create a piece of time lapse photography that will be available on Youtube and Facebook. The observation deck has been floored with the center-court area from the old gym. The wood is from 1947. The gym has a monitor style roof, allowing natural daylight which is saving energy every day. "The new facility will be heated with wood pellets and our state of the art close-coupled gasifier that heats our entire campus, no petroleum," said Miller. Total cost of gym project stands at 1.6 million.The floor auction back in March raised $5,400.00, which will pay for sanding, lines and finishing of the new floor."Everyone wants to know how much we saved by doing the floors ourselves and my answer is that it is priceless," Miller said with enthusiasm. "In actuality, the savings is about $50,000.00, but can you really put a monetary value compared to the value of getting the community behind it?"The facility is slated to be ready by the time the 2012-2013 basketball season opens this winter.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
The reality television apocalypse is upon us, allegedly, with the success of TLC's new show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." The show, which follows the exploits of six-year-old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, first seen as a kiddie beauty pageant contestant on "Toddlers and Tiaras," and her family.
The Thompson/Shannon family resides in a tiny home by railroad tracks in rural McIntyre, Ga. They shop at the Piggly Wiggly, drink Mountain Dew, proudly attend something called The Redneck Games and, for a few episodes, have a baby pig named Glitzy residing in the house. Mama June is less likely to call her brood by their given names than alternate ones -- Chickadee, Chubbs, Pumpkin and, for Daddy, Sugar Bear.
They are big people with even bigger personalities.
Make no mistake, there is no altruism in TLC's decision to bring Honey Boo Boo and her kin into our homes. Show runners are not charmed by this family's Southern witticisms or Mama June's pride in her 300 lb.+ figure. They aren't concerned about Honey Boo Boo's 17-year-old pregnant sister. They don't think it's admirable how the unmarried Sugar Bear and June have built a strong and loving blended family. And they don't constantly pan to shots of freight trains roaring past the Thompson/Shannon home because they find it quaint.
They undoubtedly find the Thompson/Shannon family laughable–better, exploitable -- just like every other real housewife, bachelor and bachelorette, or dancer/cocktail waitress willing to let the likes of Bret Michaels or Flavor Flav rename them "Rodeo" or "Boots." They know there is little America likes more than judging fat folks -- especially fat women who don't have the decency to hate themselves for being fat; poor people and poor parents; Southerners and young women who have sex outside of marriage. "Honey Boo Boo" represents a gold mine. Indeed, Thursday's airing beat the Republican National Convention in ratings.
Jennifer Pozner, author of Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV, says, "You can almost hear TLC saying, 'Step right up to the poverty voyeurism comedy tour!'."
Reaction to "Honey Boo Boo" would seem to prove that TLC has successfully pinged a host of American biases about class and size and gender and race. An AV Club review of the program is fairly dripping with condescension:
In actuality, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo really doesn't have a lot to do with the titular figure herself in the two episodes that premiered tonight. At the center of this horror story posing as a reality television program is "Mama," the matriarch of the family and center around which the entire program revolves. Not having seen Toddlers and Tiaras, it's hard to know if she's naturally an attention-seeking woman or if TLC realized she was a 300-pound malapropism waiting to happen. Motivations matter little in cases like this. What's important to note is that more than half the time in each episode is dedicated to her worldview, which involves preparing Alana for pageants, going to auctions to buy junk food for her family, and generally doing the minimum amount of parenting to prevent the state from taking her children away.
Okay, that's a little unfair: It's not so much that Mama actively abuses her children so much as provides perhaps the worst example possible of how to live a life with a bit of respect, or at least decorum. Not since Wuthering Heights has there been a better battle of nature versus nurture in a popular art form. I exaggerate, of course, but the actually interesting parts of Honey Boo Boo come in the moments in which the vaudeville act performed by the Thompsons drops away and accidentally reveals some kernels of truth and humanity underneath. It's not that the Thompsons have to be this way. They either don't know how to change or don't understand that change is even an option.
It's easy to look at Alana and just chalk up her attitude to a combination of age and precociousness. It's easy to look at 15-year old Jessica (called "Chubbette" by Mama and "Chubbs" in the onscreen TLC graphic) eating cheese balls off the floor and recoil in horror. It's easy to watch Mama talk positively about her looks and wonder what she sees in the mirror. But then the caricatures disappear, even fleetingly, and it's much more difficult to pass this off as Car Crash TV. At first, Mama publicly defends her choice not to lose weight with her daughter, stating she's happy with the way she is. Later, when Mama admits to the camera that she'd like to lose 100 pounds in order to support Jessica, it's a completely human moment, devoid of all bravado. But it's also the saddest moment of tonight's two episodes, because you recognize the bravado not as an on-screen persona but a disguise meant to mask her pain.
'Cause fat women must be hiding some secret shame; women who don't fit the beauty standard should know they are ugly; and no one but 15-year-old Jessica Shannon ever observed the 10-sec rule to eat a snack off the floor.
A tour through TelevisionWithoutPity, a premier online source of TV forums, recaps and discussion, reveals commentary worse than anything happening on Alana Thompson's eponymous TV show:
aliyameadow writes:
So I looked at some YouTube clips and my jaw dropped open. WTF is this stuff? Who lets their child behave like that? You just know she got most of what she says from her mother. Most 6 year olds are talking about their dolls – she's talking about "A dollar make me holla." Huh? She sounds like a ghetto slut.
oldbabe writes:
Thank you! These people taught a 6 year old girl to talk and behave like she's a street kid because they think it's funny. The level of ignorance that believes it's okay to do that to a child is bad enough, but putting themselves on display like a carnival freak show for a TV audience to gawk at sinks to the single-digit IQ level. Alana will never get the help she needs because her family thinks there's nothing wrong with their behavior. That poor kid was doomed from conception.
The whole family looks like they're related to Jabba the Hut.
suz at large writes:
This afternoon, after a week of thinking it over, I took both my HD/DVR boxes back to the cable company (I have 2 TVs here). Now, for the first time in 20 years, I do not have cable (or any kind of dish-based) TV service in my home. I did it to save a ton of money per month, and I didn't make the decision easily or lightly. I finally realized that there are very few shows that I'd like to watch, that are only available on cable/dish TV. Now I have a bunch of sharp over the air channels available via antenna, and high speed internet service plus streaming devices for watching shows on my TVs, and the computer too for some shows that can be streamed to a 'puter but no other devices.
And in the last analysis? It was the idea of this show – and the commercials for it – that pushed me over the tipping point into cutting the cable cord
The Thompson/Shannon family may be uneducated and fat and "redneck," but calling a six-year-old a "ghetto slut" is far more morally objectionable, IMHO.
There is no denying that the word "ghetto" and "street" are all kinds of racially charged, evoking images of urban, black dysfunction. The comments above are revealing of one interesting thing: Some folks may be made uncomfortable by "Honey Boo Boo" because it challenges their association of thin, shining, educated middle-classness with whiteness and Southern accents, fatness and poverty with blackness. They are ignorant of the similarities between white and black Southerners and white and black poverty, and so, when Honey Boo Boo drawls one of her famous phrases, she is acting like a "ghetto slut" or a "street kid."
And then there is "slut." Women and girls who are not compliant and quiet must be promiscuous -- and promiscuous women are bad (i.e., sluts). The phrase that provoked this name calling was Alana's "A dolla make me holla." The kid claims to like money. Fine. But it is the adults analyzing the show who have equated a six-year-old's love of money with prostitution. I am certain that Alana's involvement in pageants plays a role in this analysis. Child pageants are highly sexualized and disturbing affairs. But I also believe that a little boy saying the same phrase would likely be praised as a future business tycoon, not accused of selling sex.
But Suz-at-large's comment, though less offensive, is also revealing. There is a chorus of folks claiming that "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is a bridge too far, the bottom of the barrell, the worst of the worst and the last thing we'll see before the Four Horsemen arrive. And I believe this notion is also driven by who the Thompson/Shannon family is and how people like them activate American disgust in a way far greater problems do not.
We could have turned off the TV when VH1 was trading on stereotypes of black men with "Flavor of Love." We could have pushed back when show runners on countless programs hunted for and showcased angry black women. The cable cord could have been cut during any of the shows from "Real Housewives of Orange County" to "Basketball Wives" designed to display women as catty, back-biting gold diggers. "Toddlers and Tiaras," the show that spawned "Honey Boo Boo" has lasted five seasons.
Pozner says, "I usually tell people you can keep watching your reality TV; just do it critically. 'Toddlers and Tiaras' is the one show I believe people should turn off.
"The children on that show cannot possibly consent to the multiple layers of exploitation and sexualization. By watching the show, the audience is complicit."
Why haven't these other instances of rank exploitation by TV executives caused viewers to run to return their cable boxes en masse?
I suspect it's because people find the dirtiness of the reality TV business, which Pozner unveils so capably in Reality Bites Back, less abhorrent than a defiantly poor, white, fat, Southern family.
There is something wrong with "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." But it is not the Thompson/Shannon family who, love of Cheetos and penchant for child pageants, gas passing and murdering of the Queen's English aside, seem like a loving, happy and mostly decent tribe. The problem is that, this show -- like many, many before it - looks to capitalize on America's basest instincts. And in doing so, it encourages the ugliest of our biases. When we criticize this show, we should reserve our ire for the mercenary show runners who plan, stage and edit what we see. And we should remember, as Pozner points out, that "actors" on reality shows are not unionized. When folks have exhausted their revulsion and TLC has taken millions in ad revenues to the bank, Honey Boo Boo and her family might still be clipping coupons in a tiny house by the railroad tracks, having received little in return for becoming national laughingstocks for a season. And that's not right.

"She's healed me in so many ways," added Christina, who battled cancer in 2008. "She's just made my life so much better. She's opened my whole soul."

2017 Training Opportunity
How To Recognize Equine Abuse And Neglect
Through the generous support of the ASPCA, My Racing Heart, and an anonymous donor, Speak Up is busy training Kentucky law enforcement and elected officials in "How to Recognize Equine Abuse and Neglect". This program is free of charge and we will travel to you to accommodate your busy schedules. We encourage interested veterinarians, horse owners and enthusiasts to attend any one of our classes. Contact Shelly for more information or to schedule training in your Kentucky county. The program is free! Learn how to use Kentucky law to help abused and neglected horses. Training program in the media.
From Regal Racehorse to Neglect Case
Not every champion or top athlete is guaranteed to always receive the best of care once he/she has outlived his/her purpose in the horse industry. Any horse can become a victim of abuse or neglect at some point in their life. One such sad story has a happy ending: Hapsirishpub was turned over to Speak Up For Horses in March of 2008 after being neglected to the point of near death. For the full story see our special page.
Contacting Your Legislators
Being an effective advocate on legislative issues means understanding how and when to write letters and make phone calls. This requires an understanding of how Congress works.
Process of a bill
For advocates, there are a few steps to pay particular attention to:
When bills are introduced and need cosponsors,
When bills are being considered in committee, and
When bills come to the floor of the House and Senate for voting.
At each of these points, advocates can make effective contacts with their elected representatives.
Please help us stand up for the welfare of our horses by contacting your senators and representatives to support the anti horse slaughter bills currently in both the House and the Senate.
KY Members of Congress
US Members of Congress:
House Representatives
Kentucky Representatives - http://www.lrc.ky.gov/legislators.htm
We Speak Up for Horses bound for slaughter and those neglected, abused, or discarded by rescuing and rehoming these horses. We also educate the public about horse slaughter, horse welfare laws, and what it means to be a responsible horse owner. Our work is driven by the belief that education seeds compassion, a life-long commitment to our horses and a respect for all life.
U.S. H.R. 113—The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act of 2017
The bill, introduced in the House of Representatives on January 03, 2017 would prohibit the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the U.S. and ban their export abroad for that purpose. Horse slaughter is a cruel, unnecessary, predatory industry. The effort to ban slaughter through a federal bill is now more than a decade old. Each year that passes without a ban sees more than 100,000 American horses shipped over our borders to be butchered for human consumption. Please send a polite email to your U.S. senators and representative and urge them to support the SAFE Act, a permanent ban on 1) the slaughter of American horses for human consumption, and 2) the transport of American horses over our borders for that purpose.
Call your legislators TODAY!! Ask them to support the SAFE ACT.

The PAST ACT: End Horse Soring
The Prevent All Soring Tactics, or PAST Act, is the federal bill to end the cruel practice of horse soring. Soring is a practice used by unscrupulous trainers to deliberately inflict pain in order to exaggerate the high-stepping gait of their horses and gain unfair competitive advantage at horse shows. View Video - graphic content.
HR1338 would amend the Horse Protection Act to do the following:
- amend the industry's failed system of self-policing;
- ban the use of devices implicated in the practice of soring;
- strengthen penalties; and
- make other reforms needed to finally shut this abuse down.
Follow the progress of this bill: PAST ACT
Inspection Defunding Proposed
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has added language to the FY14 budget submission to defund horse inspections at slaughter plants. While this does not impact the current budget, it is a clear indication that the USDA recognizes the dangers to our food supply and exports into the foreign food supply if horse slaughter was to resume in the US. This is the first time the USDA has actually included the defunding language in the budget request.
Page 197 of Dept. of Agriculture Appendix
SEC. 725. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used to pay the salaries or expenses of personnel to-(1) inspect horses under section 3 of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 603); (2) inspect horses under section 903 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 1901 note; Public Law 104127); or (3) implement or enforce section 352.19 of title 9, Code of Federal Regulations.
Speak Up For Horses Saves 48 Horses
December 1, 2009 - After a long ordeal of neglect, a group of 48 quarterhorses finally has a chance at a new life. Fox 19 of Cincinnati has the full story here: Part 1 and Part 2. If you would like to help us with the immediate care of these beautiful horses, you may send a donation via our paypal button below. See more information on how you can give one of these horses a new home on our Adoption page.
Lucky 48 Draw Attention
The Horse Magazine published a brief article about the plight of the Lucky 48. Read it about here.
Investigations show cruelty of the horse slaughter industry
A thirty month long investigation into the plight of horses who have been sold for slaughter has revealed the worst levels of inhumane treatment. The abuse and neglect of these horses, sometimes referred to as "kill horses," was uncovered during the investigation and is consistent with findings and photographs contained in a 906 page document released by the USDA last year. The detailed investigation summary can be found here. THANK YOU ANIMALS ANGELS
Canada orders slaughter records be kept
Effective July 31, 2010, it will be mandatory for all Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) inspected facilities in Canada engaged in the slaughter of equine for edible purposes to have complete records for all animals (domestic and imported) presented for slaughter. Speak Up For Horses and other organizations remain very cautious about the policy's actual implementation and impact. As we have experienced in the past with other policies and regulations, enforcement of the same has been non-existant.
House Passes Legislation to Restore and Strengthen Wild Horse Protection
Friday, July 17, 2009 - Washington, DC - In a decisive move, the U.S. House of Representatives today approved a measure to restore basic protections for America's wild horses and burros.
RESTORE OUR AMERICAN MUSTANGS (ROAM) Act
Bill passes House, now in Senate Committee. Congressman Nick Rahall's (D-KY) bill to overhaul the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro Program passed in the House of Representatives by a majority of 54 votes. On August 5, 2009, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid submitted the Senate's version of the bill that was sponsored by Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV.) The Senate bill number is S.1579, and it has been referred to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources.

The Vintage Series features complete versions of music by Mata Mandir Singh and Friends previously released on cassette tape between 1975 and 1994 and has now been remastered for your listening pleasure.
Mata Mandir Singh has dedicated his life to the practice and teaching of Naad Yoga the yoga of sound. A skilful guitar, mandolin and cittern player, he is a pioneer of the yoga music genre, having recorded more than 28 CDs and cassette tapes since the late 1970s.
Mata Mandir pours devotion into each note that he sings. His gentle voice creates a sacred atmosphere for healing and connectedness, helping students calm their minds and open their hearts. His Sikh-inspired mantras invite listeners to have a personal experience of the Divine.
A longtime student of Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan, Mata Mandir learned early on about the power of the sound current for elevation. Yogiji told me a long time ago that if you play any instrument in a rhythmic pattern, that will put you into harmony with the whole universe, he says. Inspired by Yogi Bhajans life-changing teachings, Mata Mandir then embarked on a journey of helping others come in tune with the rhythm of the universe. Everything has a frequency and vibration, everything has its own song, he says. When you tune in to sounds of the world, like the sound of your breath or your heartbeat, for example, the world becomes different. You create a new intelligence in your life and you begin to see rhythm where before you only saw chaos.
Mata Mandir currently performs and teaches classes on the science of chanting and listening both across the United States and internationally. In his upcoming book, Naad Yoga the Yoga of Sound Workbook, he explains how one can use mantras to stimulate the brain and glandular system and reach deep states of bliss. Theres a cascade of chemical changes in every word we speak, he says.
Sharing a deep passion for Naad Yoga, Mata Mandir uses music to guide his students to the present moment and into a natural state of empowerment. Adding to his detailed teachings on chanting, he also emphasizes the importance of learning to deeply listen. The eyes can create a lot of illusion, he says. But the ears are very accurate and can distinguish all different notes, all different sounds.

(Adopted by Council on November 19, 2000)
On May 6, 1996, as part of its "Statement on Energy: The Forgotten Crisis," the American Physical Society cautioned, "Our nation's complacency about the energy problem is dangerous. While the understandable result of currently abundant supplies of energy at low prices, such complacency is short-sighted and risky."
Since 1996, demand for oil and natural gas has continued to grow with the expansion and globalization of the world's economy. In addition, our nation's dependence on imported energy has increased, and the effects of burning fossil fuels on the global environment are becoming a major concern. The Council of the American Physical Society believes that the use of renewable energy sources, the adoption of new ways of producing and using fossil fuels, increased consideration of safe and cost effective uses of nuclear power, and the introduction of energy-efficient technologies can, over time, promote the United States' energy security and reduce stress on the world's environment.
Therefore, the Council of the American Physical Society urges the Administration and Congress to make a significant increase in Federal investment in energy research and pre-commercial development. Further, we urge the adoption of policies that promote efficiency and innovation throughout the energy system, including conservation and the development of alternatives to fossil fuels.
The United States will remain dependent on imported energy for the foreseeable future. Investment in a broad portfolio of energy research is essential for providing the options that will allow us to effectively manage this dependence. Our national security, the preservation of our environment and our standard of living are all at stake.

Jolie surprises CinemaCon to tout 'Unbroken'
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Angelina Jolie took to the stage at CinemaCon, the annual convention of theater exhibitors, on Tuesday to reveal footage from the upcoming survival saga "Unbroken," which she directed and produced.
"I wanted to make this film because its message is one that we all need now more than ever," said Jolie in front of the crowd of theater owners at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Shot in Sydney last year, the film tells the true story of Lou Zamperini, a World War II hero and track star who ran in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Zamperini, who is played by Jack O'Connell, spent a harrowing 47 days afloat in the Pacific Ocean following the 1943 crash of his U.S. military plane. He spent the following two years as a prisoner of war after washing up behind Japanese enemy lines.
Developed originally by Universal Pictures in 1957, the biopic was supposed to star Tony Curtis, said Universal chairwoman Donna Langley before introducing Jolie. But after many false starts, the project never took shape. It wasn't until Zamperini's story caught the attention of Jolie, that the film really began to evolve.
"She fought for it and earned the right to direct it," said Langley, who called Jolie "a true filmmaker."
"Unbroken," to be released in December, is based on Laura Hillenbrand's book "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption," which chronicles Zamperini's life.
"Lou Zamperini is the toughest man I have ever met," said Jolie. "He's a fighter and true hero. He is also a man of faith, full of love and humility. He sounds perfect. But he wasn't always. Smoking, stealing and drinking by the time he was 9, he was convinced he was worth nothing and full of darkness."
The footage teased revealed affecting scenes of Zamperini's struggles, from his efforts to escape from his military plane after it crashed into the ocean, to the beatings her underwent as a prisoner.
Jolie added that Zamperini's journey can remind us of what we're capable of. "Gain strength from our family, identify our fears and our pain, come face to face with darkness and never give up," she said.
"Unbroken" is the second time Jolie has directed a feature. The 2011 war drama "In the Land of Blood and Honey" was her first.

I hope everyone who watched Ray Lewis come out on the field at M&T Bank Stadium for the last time and do his dance had the best laugh so far in 2013 ("Ray's day," Jan. 7). I know I did and still get a smile on my face when I think about it.
Wasn't it a relief after all the news in The Sun and on TV about the fiscal cliff, killings in Syria and horrible shootings in Connecticut (and don't forget the not-so-great news here in Baltimore every day) to have a few good minutes? The Sun covered it all the next day, and I had another chance to have another good laugh.
Regarding letter writer Bruce Knauff's complaints ("Enough about Ray Lewis," Jan. 8), we really need the enjoyment of these fun things. The short-lived coverage, whether it be on TV or in The Sun, will slowly go away. But try to remember that all the articles about him, the Ravens and, of course, the Orioles help to bring us all together.
I doubt that Mr. Lewis' retirement is eclipsing other events in our world.

Department of History
Meet Our Faculty
Studying History at Indiana State University
History is the study of change over time in human societies. Our students master critical academic skills like the ability to think and read critically, develop informed arguments on complex issues, and communicate effectively both orally and in writing. History is also an exploration of our past, exposing students to the great diversity of the human experience and challenging them to consider the forces that have shaped the world we live in today. Our faculty has expertise in a wide range of human history. We offer courses in United States, Latin American, European, Russian, African, Middle East, and World History, with topical focuses on issues like social and cultural history, labor movements, environmental history, race, and gender studies. As scholars, the History faculty are engaged in the creation of new knowledge and many have gained national recognition through their activities in research and publishing. We are also engaged locally with the wider University community, the city of Terre Haute, and the state of Indiana with sustained support for service and outreach efforts.
What Career Opportunities are Available in History?
History is a highly regarded discipline among leaders in the public and private sectors for preparing students for analytical and interpretive work in a wide variety of careers. Equally important, a History education enriches students' lives by imparting in them an appreciation for the great richness and diversity of the global world we live in today. You may wonder how writing papers about ancient Egypt can help you get a job in today's high-tech world. The fact is that many large corporations actually prefer to hire history and other liberal arts graduates for management positions. Why? Because liberal arts majors learn intellectual and communication skills that will serve them throughout their careers. The history major gives you a sound background for careers as varied as law, journalism, business, teaching, government service, writing, librarianship, publishing, historical research, public history, or museum work.
What Options are Offered by the History Department?
Besides the history major, we offer a public and applied history concentration, a history minor, and a history writing minor. We also actively cooperate with other departments in offering cross listed courses in African and African American studies, humanities, political science, woman's studies and Latin American/Latino studies.
